Abstract

Systems and methods of access control in security systems with augmented reality are provided. Some methods can include receiving an image of an exterior of a secured area, displaying the received image on a display device, identifying at least one artifact associated with the received image, and superimposing at least one computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image, thereby augmenting the displayed image.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving an image of an exterior of a secured area;

displaying the received image on a display device;

identifying at least one artifact associated with the received image; and

superimposing at least one computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving user input corresponding to input to the superimposed computer generated image of the identified artifact; and

producing a local output responsive to the received user input.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving user input corresponding to input to the superimposed computer generated image of the identified artifact; and

transmitting a signal representative of the received user input for determining whether access to the secured area is granted or denied.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving user input corresponding to input to the superimposed computer generated image of the identified artifact;

determining whether the received user input corresponds to an authorized action to access the secured region, and responsive thereto, transmitting a signal to grant access to the secured region.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the artifact associated with the received image and superimposing the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to identifying an authorized password received by or stored on a user device.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the artifact associated with the received image and superimposing the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to determining a user device is within a predetermined distance of the secured area.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising identifying a GPS location of the user device.

8. The method of claim 7 further comprising identifying the at least one artifact as being associated with the GPS location of the user device.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the artifact associated with the received image and superimposing the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to determining whether a current time is within an authorized predetermined period of time.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the artifact associated with the received image and superimposing the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to determining whether the received image includes a predetermined portion of the exterior of the secured area.

11. The method of claim 1 further comprising identifying the artifact from a database device.

12. A user device comprising:

an imaging device;

a display device;

a programmable processor; and

executable control software stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium,

wherein the imaging device obtains an image of an exterior of a secured area,

wherein the display device displays the obtained image,

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify at least one artifact associated with the obtained image, and

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software superimpose at least one computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image.

13. The user device of claim 12 wherein the display device or a second user interface device receives user input corresponding to input to the superimposed computer generated image of the identified artifact, and wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software transmit a signal to produce a local output responsive to the received user input.

14. The user device of claim 12 further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the display device or a second user interface device receives user input corresponding to input to the superimposed computer generated image of the identified artifact, and

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software transmit, via the transceiver, a signal representative of the received user input for determining whether access to the secured area is granted or denied.

15. The user device of claim 12 further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the display device or a second user interface device receives user input corresponding to input to the superimposed computer generated image of the identified artifact, and

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software determine whether the received user input corresponds to an authorized action to access the secured region, and wherein, responsive thereto, transmit a signal, via the transceiver, to grant access to the secured region.

16. The user device of claim 12 further comprising:

a database device,

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify the artifact from the database device.

17. The user device of claim 16 wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify the artifact associated with the received image and superimpose the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to the programmable processor and the executable control software identifying an authorized password stored in the database device or received by the display device or a second user interface device.

18. The user device of claim 16 further comprising:

a GPS device,

wherein the GPS device identifies a GPS location of the user device,

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify a GPS location of the secured area stored in the databased device, and

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify the artifact associated with the received image and superimpose the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to the programmable processor and the executable control software determining whether the user device is within a predetermined distance of the secured area.

19. The user device of claim 12 further comprising:

a GPS device,

wherein the GPS device identifies a GPS location of the user device, and

wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify the at least one artifact as being associated with the GPS location of the user device.

20. The user device of claim 12 wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software identify the artifact associated with the received image and superimpose the computer generated image of the identified artifact on the displayed image responsive to the programmable processor and the executable control software determining whether a current time is within an authorized predetermined period of time, or, responsive to the programmable processor and the executable control software determining whether the obtained image includes a predetermined portion of the exterior of the secured area.
