Abstract

Disclosed is an intrusion detector that may be used to determine if a person is authorized or unauthorized based upon the person carrying a token in an area being monitored for security. The intrusion detector may include: an interface and processor. The interface may receive video stream data from a camera and token data. The processor may execute operations including: receiving the video stream data and the token data and determining whether a person in the video stream data is carrying a token based upon whether the token data is associated with the person. If the person is determined to not be carrying a token, the person may be displayed as unauthorized.

Claims

1. An intrusion detector comprising:

an interface to receive video stream data from a camera and token data; and

a processor to execute operations including;

receiving the video stream data and the token data, the token data comprising position data associated with a token, the position data being calculated using triangulation based on a plurality of nodes with known locations; and

determining whether a person in the video stream data is carrying the token based upon the position data being associated with the token and with the person;

wherein, when the person in the video stream data is determined to not be carrying the token associated with the calculated position data, identifying the person in the video stream data as unauthorized.

2. The intrusion detector of claim 1, further comprising a display device, wherein, the unauthorized person is displayed on the display device as unauthorized.

3. The intrusion detector of claim 1, wherein, if the person is determined to be carrying the token, further comprising identifying the person as authorized.

4. The intrusion detector of claim 3, further comprising a display device, wherein, the authorized person is displayed on the display device as authorized.

5. The intrusion detector of claim 1, wherein the token data comprises an identification signal received from the token.

6. The intrusion detector of claim 1, wherein, if the person is determined to be carrying the token, the processor further executes operations including comparing measured biometric data of the person carrying the token to stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token.

7. The intrusion detector of claim 6, wherein, if the measured biometric data of the person carrying the token matches the stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token, the processor further executes operations including identifying the person as authorized.

8. The intrusion detector of claim 7, further comprising a display device, wherein, the authorized person is displayed on the display device as authorized.

9. The intrusion detector of claim 6, wherein, if the measured biometric data of the person carrying the token does not match the stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token, the processor further executes operations including identifying the person as unauthorized.

10. The intrusion detector of claim 9, further comprising a display device, wherein, the unauthorized person is displayed on the display device as unauthorized.

11. The intrusion detector of claim 6, wherein the measured biometric data includes facial recognition.

12. The intrusion detector of claim 7, wherein the measured biometric data includes at least one of height or weight.

13. A method comprising:

receiving video stream data from a camera and token data, the token data comprising position data associated with a token, the position data being calculated using triangulation based on a plurality of nodes with known locations; and

determining whether a person in the video stream data is carrying the token based upon the position data being associated with the token and with the person;

wherein, when the person in the video stream data is determined to not be carrying the token associated with the calculated position data, identifying the person in the video stream data as unauthorized.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising displaying the unauthorized person on a display device as unauthorized.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein, if the person is determined to be carrying the token, further comprising identifying the person as authorized and displaying the authorized person on a display device as authorized.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the token data comprises an identification signal received from the token.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein, if the person is determined to be carrying the token, further comprising, comparing measured biometric data of the person carrying the token to stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein, if the measured biometric data of the person carrying the token matches the stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token, further comprising identifying the person as authorized and displaying the authorized person on a display device as authorized.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein, if the measured biometric data of the person carrying the token does not match the stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token, further comprising identifying the person as unauthorized and displaying the unauthorized person on a display device as unauthorized.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein the measured biometric data includes at least one of facial recognition, height, or weight.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code which, when executed by a processor of an intrusion detector, causes the processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving video stream data from a camera and token data, the token data comprising position data associated with a token, the position data being calculated using triangulation based on a plurality of nodes with known locations; and

determining whether a person in the video stream data is carrying the token based upon the position data being associated with the token and with the person;

wherein, when the person in the video stream data is determined to not be carrying the token associated with the calculated position data, identifying the person in the video stream data as unauthorized.

22. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 21, further comprising code for displaying the unauthorized person on a display device as unauthorized.

23. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 21, wherein, if the person is determined to be carrying the token, further comprising code for identifying the person as authorized and displaying the authorized person on a display device as authorized.

24. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 21, wherein the token data comprises an identification signal received from the token.

25. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 21, wherein, if the person is determined to be carrying the token, further comprising code for comparing measured biometric data of the person carrying the token to stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token.

26. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 25, wherein, if the measured biometric data of the person carrying the token matches the stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token, further comprising code for identifying the person as authorized and displaying the authorized person on a display device as authorized.

27. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 25, wherein, if the measured biometric data of the person carrying the token does not match the stored biometric data for the person assigned to the token, further comprising code for identifying the person as unauthorized and displaying the unauthorized person on a display device as unauthorized.

28. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 25, wherein the measured biometric data includes facial recognition.

29. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 25, wherein the measured biometric data includes at least one of height or weight.

30. An intrusion detector comprising:

means for receiving video stream data from a camera and token data, the token data comprising position data associated with a token, the position data being calculated using triangulation based on a plurality of nodes with known locations; and
