==Method and System for Device Access Control - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222657 titled 'Method and System for Device Access Control

==Simplified Explanation==

The method involves using sensor information from a sensor system to determine if a person is authorized to enter an access-controlled interior space and detecting their intention to enter.

* Obtaining sensor information from a sensor system that senses exterior surroundings of an access-controlled interior space.
* Determining if a person is located outside an entry to the access-controlled interior space.
* Determining if the person is authorized to enter the access-controlled interior space.
* Detecting the person's intention to enter the access-controlled interior space.
* Providing access to the access-controlled interior space if the person is authorized and intends to enter.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be used in security systems for buildings, homes, and other access-controlled spaces to allow authorized individuals to enter while keeping unauthorized individuals out.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps prevent unauthorized access to secure areas by accurately identifying and allowing only authorized individuals to enter.

== Benefits ==
- Improved security by accurately determining authorized individuals and their intentions to enter.
- Streamlined access control process for access-controlled interior spaces.
- Enhanced safety and protection for occupants of the interior space.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method includes obtaining sensor information from a sensor system, wherein the sensor system senses exterior surroundings of an access-controlled interior space. The method also includes determining that a person is located outside an entry to the access-controlled interior space, using the sensor information, determining that the person is authorized to enter the access-controlled interior space, using the sensor information, and detecting an intention to enter the access-controlled interior space by the person. In response to determining that the person is located near the access-controlled interior space, the method includes determining that the person is authorized to enter the access-controlled interior space, and detecting the intention to enter the access-controlled interior space, providing access to the access-controlled interior space.
