A door lock control device comprises: a door lock interface for communicating with a door lock; an imaging device; a controller for processing images to be acquired through the imaging device; and a storage medium. The controller determines each of first and second objects in the images as being either authorized or unauthorized depending on whether each of the first and second objects matches authentication data read from the storage medium, and controls the door lock through a door lock interface by referring to a distance between the first and second objects determined from the images when the first object is determined as being authorized and the second object is determined as being unauthorized.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for fast user enrollment for facial recognition using face clustering. One of the methods includes identifying, from a set of face images of faces, clusters of face images, where the clusters of face images include a particular cluster; receiving, from a device, an indication that the particular cluster includes a first subcluster of face images that depict a first person and a second subcluster of face images that depict a second person; in response to receiving the indication, determining that a number of face images in the first subcluster of face images that depict the first person does not satisfy an enrollment criteria; identifying another cluster of face images that depict the first person; and enrolling, in a facial recognition database, the first person using the other cluster of face images.

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 computer system performs techniques related to enrolling and using a secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system provides user interfaces for enrolling a secure credential on the computer system. In some embodiments, a computer system provides user interfaces for inviting a user account to use a secure credential.

An electronic lock includes an interior subassembly including a manual turnpiece, a control circuit, and a motor actuatable by the control circuit, and an exterior subassembly including a facial authentication circuit operatively connected to the control circuit. The electronic lock includes a latch operatively connected to the interior subassembly, the latch being engageable by the manual turnpiece or the motor to move the electronic lock between a locked state and an unlocked state. The facial authentication circuit includes at least one camera and is configured to generate an authentication signal to the control circuit, and wherein, at least in part in response to the authentication signal, the control circuit is configured to actuate the motor to move the electronic lock between the locked state and the unlocked state.

A method and system that allows authorized individuals access into controlled access locations and the ability to grant temporary and limited access to guests into these locations. The method and system allow for navigational services to be provided to members and guests, and real-time tracking and confirmation to members and administrators that guests have arrived at their destination and did not enter any unauthorized areas. The method preferably can work through a system of wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons communicating with member and guest's electronic devices. Members and administrators can send one or more temporary electronic access keys to a guest's smartphone or other electronic device. Wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons provide an access control and location tracking system with real-time data about the member and guest whereabouts, allowing for the confirmation and tracking.

A management method for electronic locks includes obtaining a manager mobile device with management authorities of a plurality of locks. The manager mobile device can be connected any one of the plurality of locks, and the lock connected to the manager mobile device switches to a writing mode. The lock connected to the manager mobile device writes the unlocking authority of at least one of the plurality of locks into a door access card. When the door access card is identified by one of the plurality of locks as being correct, the one of the plurality of locks is unlocked.

An information processing apparatus in the present invention includes: a matching unit that matches biometric information acquired from a user requesting use of a management target with registered biometric information of each of a plurality of registrants; a determination unit that determines whether or not a registrant with which a matching result is that the matching is successful out of the plurality of registrants has usage authority for the management target; and an output unit that, when the matching result from the matching unit is that the matching failed, outputs first error information, and when it is determined in the determination unit that the registrant with which the matching result is that the matching is successful does not have the usage authority, outputs second error information different from the first error information.

A detection sensor or a user device is used to aid in providing authentication and activation of a door system when a user tries to access the door for ingress and egress. Operating parameters of the door systems may be set to allow ingress and egress only when a user is identified and authorized. As such, the operating parameters of the door systems may include authentication and activation parameters such that the door systems are controlled, at least in part, based on the presence of a user and/or a user device and the identification of the specific user. As such operating parameters may be different for different users or types of users. Moreover, the user device may be used to authenticate a user and control ingress and egress through the door automatically or through an authentication action taken by the user.

The present invention comprises an enrolment method comprising steps of: acquisition (100) of an image showing a photograph itself showing an individual, extraction (102), from the image of a characteristic of the image other than a biometric model, obtaining (104) personal data of the individual other than by the image-processing algorithm, generation (106) of a reference datum (W) from the characteristic of the image and the obtained personal data, calculation (108) of an encoded datum (s) by application of an encoding procedure to the reference datum (W) and to a random datum (c), calculation (110) of a hash (h(c) of the random datum, storage (112) in a database of the datum encoded (s) in association with the hash. The invention also comprises an identity-control method using such stored data.
