Abstract

A door operation method, apparatus and system for a portable module for operating a door. The door operating method includes sensing a reason to at least one of open or close the door, processing the at least one of opening or the closing of the door based on the sensing, engaging a door operation mechanism, and at least one of opening or closing the door by the portable module, wherein the portable module is coupled the door.

2. The door operating method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of:

sensing that at least one object passed through the door and closing the door after such sensing;

sensing an area is clear of obstacles and closing the door;

reaching a time threshold and closing the door due to the time threshold;

sensing at least one of a decrease or increase in weight on an area and at least one of closing or opening the door accordingly, respectively;

recognizing a physical feature and at least one of closing or opening the door;

sensing a sound requesting at least one of closing or opening of the door and at least one of closing or opening the door accordingly, respectively;

sensing motion for at least one of opening or closing the door;

receiving data instructing for at least one of closing or opening of the door, and at least one of closing or opening the door accordingly, respectively, wherein the data is received via at least one of a wireless and wired connection, and wherein the data instruction is from at least one of a magnetic card, a keyless entry, a keypad, an application on a portable device, a device on a handicap equipment, oxygen tank, patient IV device, stroller, a device on a hospital equipment, wheel chair, a wearable device, a portable device and data over at least one WIFI, BlueTooth, New Field Communication, Internet, IP connectivity, fiber optics, radio frequency, multi-drop surface, and satellite modem.

3. The door operation method of claim 1, wherein the portable module is coupled to a pre-exiting door, without the need for a custom door.

4. The door operation method of claim 3, wherein the portable module is coupled to at least one of a handle of the door, one or more hinge of the door, a surface adjacent to the door, and on the door itself.

5. The door operation method of claim 4, wherein the hinges are position on at least one of the side of the door, top of the door of the bottom of the door.

6. The door operation method of claim 1, wherein the door is at least one manual door, electric, door, French door, swinging door, or roll up/down door.

7. The door operation method of claim 1, wherein the door operation mechanism comprises at least one of a pulley, a mechanical arm, a keypad, a door handle, and a door hinge.

8. The door operation method of claim 7, wherein the door handle is a round handle, an up/down lever, or controls a magnetic mechanism.

9. A door operation apparatus for a portable module for operating a door, comprising:

a sensing module of the door operation apparatus for determining a request to at least one of open or close the door;

a door operating processor of the door operation apparatus for handling the determined request to the at least one of opening or the closing of the door based on the sensing;

a door operating mechanism of the door operation apparatus for engaging a door to at least one of open or close; and

a door latching mechanism of the door operation apparatus for coupling the portable module apparatus to the door.

10. The door operating apparatus of claim 9, the sensing module further for at least one of:

sensing that at least one object passed through the door and closing the door after such sensing;

recognizing a physical feature and at least one of closing or opening the door;

sensing an area is clear of obstacles and closing the door;

reaching a time threshold and closing the door due to the time threshold;

sensing at least one of a decrease or increase in weight on an area and at least one of closing or opening the door accordingly, respectively;

sensing a sound requesting at least one of closing or opening of the door and at least one of closing or opening the door accordingly, respectively;

sensing motion for at least one of opening or closing the door;

receiving data instructing for at least one of closing or opening of the door, and at least one of closing or opening the door accordingly, respectively, wherein the data is received via at least one of a wireless and wired connection, and wherein the data instruction is from at least one of a magnetic card, a keyless entry, a keypad, an application on a portable device, a device on a handicap equipment, oxygen tank, patient IV device, stroller, a device on a hospital equipment, wheel chair, a wearable device, a portable device and data over at least one WIFI, BlueTooth, New Field Communication, Internet, IP connectivity, fiber optics, radio frequency, multi-drop surface, and satellite modem.
