ENTRY TECHNOLOGY FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION

摘要

A computer system accesses identity data providing unique biometric identifications and associated names for respective people. Roles are stored and associating ones of the roles are associated with ones of the people. Rules are stored, wherein each rule is configured to define one of the roles or people and define a condition and an action. The computer system receives from a device at an entryway, biometric data for a person. A named person is indicated for the received biometric data by the identity data accessed by the computer system. The computer system selects a rule corresponding to the identified person or to one of the defined roles for the identified person. The computer system performs the defined action for the selected rule when a current condition satisfies the defined condition for the selected rule.
