The present disclosure provides a method of opening a boarding door of a vehicle that provides use of a trunk room to a passenger reserving the trunk room. The method comprises keeping the boarding door closed until both a first condition and a second condition are satisfied and opening the boarding door or enabling the boarding door to be opened in response to both the first condition and the second condition being satisfied. Here, the first condition is that the passenger is in the vicinity of the boarding door. The second condition is that the trunk door is closed or that a reservation of the trunk room is cancelled.

The touchless opening or closing of a vehicle door using a camera to assist in detection of a user's predefined actions is disclosed. A user approaches a vehicle and, once in proximity to the vehicle, is detected. The system authenticates the user and identifies a predefined action of the user using a vehicle camera. Once the predefined action is identified, the vehicle door is opened or closed.

A mobile hearable device for communicating with a vehicle control system is described. The mobile hearable device includes a microphone, and a wireless transceiver configured as one of a near field magnetic induction (NFMI) transceiver and a near field electromagnetic induction (NFEMI) transceiver. The mobile hearable device includes a processor coupled to the transceiver and the microphone. The processor receives a location identifier via the transceiver from a location identification transmitter located in a vehicle, the location identification transmitter is configured as one of a NFMI transmitter and a NFEMI transmitter. If the processor receives a speech signal from a user of the mobile hearable device, it determines whether the speech signal includes an actuator control command and generates a control instruction comprising the actuator control command and the location identifier. The control instruction is transmitted to a vehicle control system and used to control an actuator in a vehicle dependent on the location of the person using the mobile hearable device.

Described is an electronic delivery door for permitting passage of an object between an interior and an exterior of a structure through an opening defined in the structure, the delivery door comprising: a door panel; a hinge assembly including: one or more hinges for securing the door panel within the opening of the structure and for permitting the door panel to move between a closed position and an open position by rotation of the one or more hinges, wherein: in the closed position, the opening is covered by the door panel; and in the open position, the one or more hinges have been rotated to permit passage of objects through the opening; and an electronic security device configured to selectively permit opening of the door panel.

An entry system includes: an acquisition unit configured to repeatedly acquire a face image of a target person approaching a moving body from a camera; an authentication unit configured to authenticate that the target person is a registered user based on the face image; a control unit configured to automatically open a door of the moving body when the authentication unit succeeds in authentication, the authentication unit outputs the notice indicating whether or not the authentication is a success from an output device every time the authentication is executed, and when the authentication becomes a success after the authentication becomes a failure for a prescribed number of times, the control unit makes a mode of movement of the door at the time of automatically opening the door different from a mode when the authentication becomes a success with the number of times less than the prescribed number of times.

A door system includes a corridor sized to allow humans to move through the corridor, the corridor having a first door located at a first end; a second door located at the second end; a controller operatively connected to the first and second doors for controlling the first and second doors; a first sensor oriented to detect an object on the floor, the first sensor operatively connected to the controller and a second sensor oriented to detect an object above the floor in the corridor wherein the second sensor is operatively connected to the controller and the controller is configured to one of: a) turn off the second sensor when the first sensor detects an object on the floor and b) not respond when the second sensor detects and object above the floor when the first sensor detects and object on the floor.

A proxy device comprising a processor and a communication interface communicatively coupled to the processor. The communication interface configured to transmit information representative of a second security protocol to a remote control. The remote control operable to transmit communications to a movable barrier operator utilizing a first security protocol. In response to transmitting the information representative of the second security protocol to the remote control, the communication interface receives a first acknowledgement communication from the remote control indicating the remote control utilizes the second security protocol.

A system and method include detecting an authenticated device in a proximity zone of a vehicle, activating a perception system for the proximity zone of the vehicle, and detecting, in user data captured by the perception system, a user in the proximity zone of the vehicle and approaching the vehicle. The system and method also include classifying, based on the user data, an identity of the user in the proximity zone of the vehicle, identifying a target door of the vehicle for the user based on the classified identity of the user, and instructing the target door of the vehicle to automatically open for the user.

An example kiosk for accepting a portable electronic device from a client in exchange for payment, associated method and systems are described. The kiosk may include at least one display, an imaging chamber that includes at least one camera and one or more mirrors fixedly-arranged to capture images of a portable electronic device, at least one communication connection to a remote server and/or operator, and at least one computer. The computer may be configured to, in conjunction with the remote server and/or operator, capture one or more images of the portable electronic device in the imaging chamber while said at least one camera and said mirrors remain in unchanged positions. The computer may also transmit the captured images to the remote server and/or operator, receive an acceptance of the offered payment amount based upon an offered payment amount for the portable electronic device received from the remote server and/or operator, and provide for secure deposit of the portable device in the kiosk.
