Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatus for video-based door operation using object tracking of mobility assistance devices. A method includes detecting, in one or more images captured by a camera, a mobility assistance device; in response to detecting the mobility assistance device, determining, using the one or more images captured by the camera, a trajectory of the mobility assistance device; determining that the trajectory of the mobility assistance device satisfies a criterion for operating a door; and in response to determining that the trajectory of the mobility assistance device satisfies the criterion for operating the door, transmitting, to a door operator, a command to operate the door. A method includes determining whether the operation of the door satisfies performance criteria using one or more second images; and in response to determining that the operation of the door does not satisfy performance criteria, updating the criterion for operating the door.

A bicycle locking device for securing a bicycle to a stationary object includes a housing, which defines an interior space. A cable is positioned in the interior space and has a first terminus, which is engaged to the housing. The cable is selectively extensible through a hole positioned in the housing. The cable is insertable through at least one element of an item, such as bicycle, and around a stationary object, so that a second terminus of the cable reaches the housing. A locking unit is engaged to the housing and selectively engages the second terminus the cable to secure the item to the stationary object. A biometric authenticator is engaged to the housing and is operationally engaged to the locking unit. The biometric authenticator authenticates a physiological characteristic of a user, positioning the biometric authenticator to signal the locking unit to release the cable.

An access control system includes a verification computing system that stores access rights information and credential proxies received from user devices, receives from a local access control subsystem an input credential and input credential proxy derived therefrom and received from a present user, identifies the access rights information associated with the user according to the input credential proxy and the stored credential proxy, requests and receives a stored credential from the user device of the present user, and compares the stored credential to the input credential to authorize the present user. The access rights information is for each of the users to access spaces with the local access control subsystems. The stored credential proxies are derived from stored credential received by the user devices using an algorithm. The input credential proxies are derived from the input credentials using the algorithm.

A system according to one embodiment includes an access control device comprising a lock mechanism configured to secure access to a passageway, and a UWB accessory device configured to receive a credential of the mobile device via Bluetooth communication, determine, using UWB ranging of the UWB accessory device, a location of a mobile device relative to the passageway secured by the lock mechanism of the access control device, determine whether a user of the mobile device intends to access the passageway based on the determined location of the user relative to the passageway, and communicate an indication that the user intends to access the passageway to the electronic lock via Bluetooth communication, and wherein the access control device is configured to unlock the lock mechanism in response to the indication that the user intends to access the passageway.

A system providing self-service access to locked merchandise comprising: (a) providing a fixture that restricts access to the locked merchandise, wherein the fixture can automatically lock or unlock, allowing or restricting access to the locked merchandise; (b) providing a means of uniquely identifying an individual attempting to access the merchandise; (c) measuring a set of behaviors of the individual during any time the fixture is an open mode; (d) assessing whether the set of behaviors of the individual are suspicious or not relative to a set of suspicious event thresholds; (e) storing the individual and their set of behaviors as accessible records in at least one database; and (f) providing an algorithm which determines future access privileges of the individual to the enclosure based on a set of variables.

Systems and apparatuses for safety deposit box access using a smart table and a locker are described herein. A safety deposit box access system includes a smart table and a locker. The smart table includes a processing circuit configured to receive an appointment request from a customer user device. The processing circuit is further configured to authenticate the customer, verify the customer is authorized to access the safety deposit box, release the safety deposit box from the locker, measure the change in weight of the safety deposit box, lock the locker, and transmit a notification to the customer when the safety deposit box has been returned to the vault.

A movable barrier operator comprising a motor, communication circuitry configured to receive a control signal and communicate with a door lock associated with a passageway door, and a controller. The controller is configured to authenticate the control signal, wherein authenticating the control signal includes associating the signal with a first level of access or a second level of access. The controller is further configured to communicate with the door lock via the communication circuitry to permit opening of the passageway door in response to associating the control signal with the first level of access and inhibit opening of the passageway door in response to associating the control signal with the second level of access. The controller is configured to cause the motor to open the movable barrier regardless of association of the control signal with the first level of access or the second level of access.

An embodiment of an electronic access control system includes an electronic key, an electronic lock, and an access control administration program. The electronic key can include program code for switching between a lock mode and a computer mode. In some embodiments, the lock mode and computer mode allow for simplified administration and operation of the access control system. Some embodiments of the electronic key include a rechargeable battery. In some embodiments, the access control system includes a hybrid power supply system having a rechargeable battery and a generator. In some embodiments, the electronic lock includes a piezoelectric latch. In some embodiments, the electronic key is configured to act as a storage device for a computer system. Some embodiments provide an electronic access control system with a streamlined user interface.

A system for determining the presence of an individual at a particular spot within a location preferably based on the strength of signals received from beacons assigned to the particular spot by a software application (“App”) running on an electronic device of the individual. In one embodiment, certain presence calculations are performed by the App. In another embodiment, the App forwards information regarding the received beacon signals to an electronic identification and location tracking system and the presence calculations are performed by the system.

A separating element for a platform cabin comprises at least one leaf subjected to a return force toward its open position, and, for the or each leaf, a return member for returning the leaf toward its closed position and comprising a first end articulated at an articulation point movable jointly with the leaf. This return member also comprises a second end mounted movably relative to the partition between an active position and an inactive position, such that when the leaf is open and the second end is in the active position, the return member exerts, on the leaf, a return force returning the leaf toward its closed position, and when the leaf is open and the second end is in the inactive position, the return member is in a second configuration in which it does not exert a force returning the leaf toward its closed position.
