METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATING WEARABLE ARTICLES INTO OPERATION OF BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for operating a building management system to provide control of a building in response to sensing of a wearable article for a user, comprising:
- wirelessly sensing a wearable article;
identifying a unique user wearing the wearable article;
determining a location of the wearable article of an identified unique user inside or outside of the building; and
for an identified unique user approaching an entrance of the building or located within the building, based on a user profile for an identified unique user and the location of the wearable article of an identified unique user, controlling at least one from the group of;
a building access control system, a building alarm system, one or more lights of the building, and temperature values of one or more areas of the building.

Abstract
A building management system and method for controlling a building in response to sensing of a wearable article includes a wearable article for securement to a user. Wearable article building sensing units wirelessly obtain information from the wearable article. A building management controller is configured to receive an output from the wearable article building sensing unit; identify a unique user wearing the wearable article; determine a location of the identified unique user wearing the wearable article inside or outside of a building; and control at least one of: a building access control system, lights, and temperature of rooms within the building based on the identified unique user and the location of the identified unique user. The wearable articles include glasses, a wristwatch, a fitness band or jewelry.
