Video recognition in frictionless access control system
First Claim
1. An access control system for monitoring an access point, comprising:
- a positioning unit for tracking locations of users carrying user devices relative to the access point based on wireless signals from the user devices;
one or more video cameras that generate video data of the users;
wherein the access control system determines whether the users are authorized to pass through the access point based on the wireless signals from the user devices, confirms identities of authorized users based upon video identification information of the users determined from the video data, and enables confirmed users to pass through the access point.

Abstract
A system and method for video recognition of users in a frictionless access control system are disclosed. The access control system includes a positioning unit that tracks locations of users carrying user devices relative to an access point of a premises, where the user devices transmit user information identifying the users via wireless signals. The system determines whether the users are authorized to pass through the access point based on the wireless signals from the user devices. One or more video cameras also capture video data of the users when the users are preferably located within a threshold area of the access point. Then, the system confirms the identity of each authorized user by comparing video identification information of the user determined from the video data, such as facial recognition information, to stored video identification information for each user. Confirmed users can then pass through the access point.
