A method and system for authenticating a user based on a human-recognizable visual representation of biometric data of the user is captured using the digital camera, wherein a biometric feature descriptor is generated from the captured biometric data of the user, and the feature descriptor, together with a user selected user profile, is transmitted to an inspection server adapted for validating whether the transmitted biometric feature descriptor corresponds to a centrally stored biometric feature descriptor of biometric data of the user. If this is the case, the inspection server transmits an “authentication approved” signal together with user personalization data specified in the selected user profile to the inspection terminal.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating between devices using short-range communication links. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for communicating access-right data between devices for verification or transfer.

A vehicle configured to operate in a remote access mode is disclosed. In some examples, a camera at the exterior of the vehicle can capture one or more images of its surroundings, including the face of a person attempting to access the vehicle. A primary operator (e.g., owner or lessee) of the vehicle can receive the one or more images at a mobile device and send an input, via a user interface of the mobile device, to grant or deny access to the vehicle. In response to wirelessly receiving the input to allow access, the vehicle can be unlocked and started in the remote access mode. In some examples, the remote access mode can have a set of permissions and/or restrictions associated therewith.

Provided are an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a storage medium that can efficiently perform an immigration examination. The information processing apparatus includes: an examination unit that, based on user information acquired from a user who completed a departure examination of a first country but has not started boarding for a second country and related to the user, performs an immigration examination of the second country; and a transmission unit that transmits a notification related to the immigration examination.

A secure short-distance-based communication and enforcement system validates users in a validation and enforcement area and can check if users in the validation and enforcement area have been validated. A flow of visual objects may be programmed into an enforcement computer, and used for the validations.

A wearable device may include: an authentication unit suitable for authenticating a user by verifying user identification information of the user; a sensor suitable for detecting contact between the authenticated user and the wearable device; a wireless communication unit suitable for wirelessly provide link success information to an electronic device requiring user authentication; and a control unit suitable for controlling the wireless communication unit to provide the link success information to the electronic device during the contact after success of the authentication of the authentication unit.

Provided is an information processing system that identifies communication terminal identification information of a portable communication terminal used by a user when the user uses communication through an access point. An information processing system includes a communication terminal identification information storage unit that stores the communication terminal identification information of the portable communication terminal that performs communication using the wireless communication device, a person identifying information comparison processing unit that determines whether there is a same person using at least two or more pieces of person identifying information acquired in a person identifying information acquisition device in a certain wireless LAN communication spot where the wireless communication device exists, and a communication terminal identification information narrowing-down processing unit that performs, from the communication terminal identification information storage unit, processing for narrowing down the communication terminal identification information of the portable communication terminal of the user who performs communication using the wireless communication device, by extracting pieces of communication terminal identification information corresponding to the respective pieces of person identifying information from the communication terminal identification information storage unit, and identifying common communication terminal identification information, when existence of the same person is determined as a result of the determination.

A building management robot includes a communication unit configured to recognize an identification device corresponding to a first divided space among at least one divided space in a building and acquire first identification information of the first divided space from the identification device, a camera configured to acquire image data including a position where the identification device is recognized, and a processor configured to recognize a user from the image data, confirm an authentication level of the first divided space of the recognized user from a database, and provide the user with a service based on the confirmed authentication level.

A security system permits limited access into a building for authorized visitors. The security system includes an access interface pad installable at a building entryway and a camera device releasably secured to the access interface pad with an anchor. The anchor allows the camera device to detach from the access interface pad in response building access being authorized by the security system so that an authorized visitor can wear the camera device while in the secured building. The security system can both communicate with a remote device so that data captured by the camera can be transmitted to a user in real time and automatically analyze information from the camera with respect to certain security parameters.

Directional antenna capabilities are leveraged to set up “invisible walls” or borders within buildings, for example. This can be used to protect any delineated area or zone in a building or other regions. The individuals carry beacon devices such as dedicated fobs or personal mobile computing devices. The access control system using directional antennas can then determine when they cross a border, such as move into (or out of) the area of interest. When that breach is detected, security policies can be followed or some other action can take place. In other examples, the approach can be used for “people counting” within a designated area or track the movements of people. Image analysis capabilities can be further added. For example, image data can be captured by surveillance cameras of the border or regions around the border or area within the building. Then, when the border or invisible wall is breached, image analysis can also be used to determine when individuals are not carrying beacon devices and when those individuals breach or cross the borders.
