Automated Door

摘要

An automated door-opening device includes a first camera disposed on the outside of the door. The first camera is adapted to recognize a predetermined pattern of a gesture made by a patron. The gesture made in front of the first camera opens the door by a first actuator. A second actuator can be used to lock or unlock the door, thereby providing full hand-free operation of the door.

主权项

1. An improved apparatus for opening and closing a door, the improved apparatus comprising:
a first camera disposed on a first side of the door; at least one light-emitting diode display device consisting of at least two colors arranging on the first side of the door; a second camera arranging on a second side of the door; at least one light-emitting-diode display device consisting of at least two colors arranging on a second side of the door; a processor in communication with the first camera, the processor adapted to receive a first data signal from the first camera, and the processor in communication with the second camera, the processor further adapted to receive a second data signal from the second camera; and the processor further comprises a gesture-recognition module adapted to read the first and second data signals; and a first actuator in communication with the processor, the first actuator adapted to open the door when activated by the processor whereby a pre-determined gesture captured by the first or second camera causes the processor to open the door.
