发明名称 Intelligent switching
摘要 An intelligent switching method and system. The method includes retrieving by a computer processor of an intelligent switching device, detection data indicating that an individual is located within a specified proximity of an apparatus. The intelligent switching device is lockably attached to the apparatus. The computer processor receives a request from an individual for enabling the apparatus. The computer processor determines that the individual is in compliance with safety procedures associated with operating the apparatus and generates an enable signal. The enable signal enables a power signal for the apparatus. The computer processor indicates that the apparatus has been enabled and is operational.

主权项 1. A method comprising: retrieving, by a computer processor of an intelligent switching device from a detection device comprising a video retrieval device, first detection data indicating that a first individual is located within a specified proximity of an apparatus, wherein said intelligent switching device comprises a mechanical locking device or electromechanical locking device lockably attaching said an end to end plug of said apparatus to said intelligent switching device; determining, by said computer processor, that said first individual is in compliance with safety procedures associated with operating said apparatus; retrieving, by said computer processor from said detection device, first safety gear detection data indicating that said first individual is correctly wearing first specified protective gear; retrieving, by said computer processor from said detection device, first safety gear indication data indicating that said first specified protective gear comprises a first unique marking indicating a correct type of protective gear associated with said first specified protective gear and using said apparatus, wherein said first unique marking further indicates a specified class of said first specified protective gear and a specified protection level within said specified class; performing, by said computer processor, an optical character recognition process associated with said first unique marking, wherein results of said optical character recognition process results in decoding said first unique marking; analyzing, by said computer processor, said first detection data, said first safety gear detection data, said first safety gear indication data, and said results of said optical character recognition process; performing, by said computer processor, a facial recognition process of said first individual; first determining, by said computer processor in response to results generated during said performing said facial recognition process, that said first specified protective gear is located within a specified unique zone on said first individual; generating, by said computer processor in response to said analyzing and said first determining, an enable signal; and enabling, by said enable signal generated by said computer processor, a power signal for said apparatus.
