of validity (DV) has expired.

  The invention relates to the technical sector of means for detecting the presence of an individual in order to actuate the opening command, in particular of a door for entering a room with the possibility of exercising a

  remote control of the room in question.

  Interactive building management systems have been proposed by presence detection and by remote control building automation. This is shown by

  example of the teaching of the European patent application EP 0893748.

  It appears from the teaching of this patent application that the system described allows in particular autonomous and interactive automation in the event of vacancy. This system also allows remote commissioning by telephone line or cable distribution. It is thus possible

  to obtain a decrease in temperatures when the room is unoccupied.

  The problem which the invention proposes to solve is to analyze the characteristics of the voice and the face of an individual in order to control for example the opening of a door, with the possibility of storing in memory a list of determined personnel. , to send a message indicating the presence of a person in front of the door, to be able to record

  any presence, when the individual concerned is not part of the list.

  To solve such a problem, it has been designed and developed, a control and detection device integrated into a leaf frame comprising: voice and visual recognition organs able to detect the presence of an individual; means for telephone and video connections between said members and means for controlling the remote opening of the leaf, and / or recording medium and / or control means;

  low voltage supply means.

  From this basic concept, advantageous applications can be envisaged, among which we can cite, by way of indication and in no way limitative: the removal of the lock on the door and therefore of the keys, significantly increasing security; Video and voice recognition allow, with a specific programming, to identify the visitor with the possibility of keeping in memory, for a given period, the different elements of identification of the latter; the possibility to remotely control the interior of the room; The possibility of remotely controlling the triggering of certain devices located inside the premises; the possibility of centralizing and executing, through a computerized management center, the various automated tasks; ] has the possibility to remotely control all anomalies; The invention is set out below in more detail using the single figure of the accompanying drawing which shows, in a purely schematic view, an example of implementation and of the operating principle of the control and detection device. apply to a

  door, according to the features of the invention.

  The principle behind the invention is to integrate, into a built-in or attached door frame (1), a sound video camera and motion detector module (5) and, a control and command module. with integrated anti-vibration sensor (6). The frame (1) can be fitted with "low voltage electrical sockets (7), electromagnetic pistons (8) subject to a low voltage transformer with integrated buffer battery (4) supplied by a mains power supply cable (2). A telephone cable connection (3), allows connection to the telephone network (11) via the control and command module (6), or through a control box and

  home automation control (9) for home automation use.

  Alternatively, a multi-modal compatible digital terminal (10) allows connection to the telephone line (11), also allowing video connection to a captive screen (14) and / or one or more home screens. Finally the frame presents a direct video output (13)

  for a captive screen (14) or a domestic screen (12).

  The combination of these different means allows many variations in the possible use of the device with access to the large

  public, for a wide variety of applications.

  For example, it is possible to remove the door lock and, therefore, the keys. The door becomes passive, only cavities

  allowing to receive the various pistons of the necessary wind frame.

  The ens1ble becomes safer, because the weak points, that the locks wind on

  classic doors, wind removed.

  According to the invention, the different recognition possibilities can be combined, depending on the degree of security sought. The buffer battery (4), coupled to a low voltage transformer, allows the system to operate, regardless of the failure envisaged. The automatic triggering of the video camera, in combination with the motion detector (5), makes it possible to announce a visit by an audible signal. It is also possible to view on the captive screen (14) arranged, for example, near the front door, or even, on a screen

  domestic (12) (television, computer, monitor ....), the visitor's face.

  The video and / or voice recognition allow, with a preprogrammed programming to announce, by a voice synthesis, the visitor by his name and first name, if he is familiar. Active security can be reinforced, by keeping in memory a history, over a given period, of faces, of the identity of known visitors, of the date and time of each visit, with visualization on the captive screen ( 14), on the television or

  on any domestic IT support (12), or remotely (11).

  Thus, working parents who have a landline telephone, a laptop or a connected computer can receive a message or a picture, indicating the precise moment in time when their child returns home. One or more cameras of the web-cam type (15), judiciously placed, can control if a child devotes the scheduled time, to do his homework, or to do something else. From this faculty of recognizing the personnel resident in the family home, as well as known visitors, many possibilities of domestic or commercial applications

can be considered.

  Each member of the family can formulate requirements which will be memorized, and translated into concrete actions, upon arrival at home such as: lighting, heating, television program, coffee maker, computer. According to the invention, any house equipped with this interactive door frame (1) can be managed remotely as a simple hotel room, if the owner decides to rent it for a given period. This is particularly advantageous for the owner of a house or a group of houses or bungalows, who can thus manage or have the rental of his property managed remotely. It is for example possible to carry out a virtual visit, in real time, to make an inventory at a distance, to carry out a recorded count or not of the cork or the managerial utensils All these tasks, like the remote monitoring, can be centralized and executed through a computerized management center: local, regional, national or international, combining tasks

  automated and remote operator.

  For example, an owner, of a certain nationality, having fitted a property, with an interactive door frame (l), places an advertisement

  advertising, his intention to rent out this property.

  An agency, of another nationality or a French individual is interested. In this case, the interested customer can record on a computer via secure software, his voice characteristics, and the video morphological characteristics of his face as well as a mobile telephone number and / or a code such as: telephone number, social security, bank card number, ogical mineral number, or any other code or number, known to him, or transmitted by the renter or his agent

allowing identification.

  One possible option is to expand the system, with the multi-modal compatible digital terminal (10), usable with the main

  TV broadcast operators (Canal +, TPS, Cable networks, etc ...).

  This multi-modal (lO) compatible digital terminal has advantages in terms of the multiple consumption of these operators, by removing an obstacle today to their wider dissemination, the paid rental of specific terminals as well as the ever-increasing place that these devices occupy, as well as the multiplication of the cabling they cause. This digital terminal (10) also makes it possible to cross the security procedures by means of electronic recognition and the parental code, as well as it makes it possible to convey information

  digital and secure of all kinds.

  One of the multiple advantages of having, if necessary, only one device to collect and manage the different audio and video sources in the same place, wind the economic development, updates, modernizations, successive securizations , which can be realized by

the different operators.

  The current miniaturization makes it possible to include, in the multi-modal compatible digital terminal (10), a large capacity hard disk as well as an efficient DVD burner reader, transforming the device into a real computer, thereby reducing investment by user customers. On the scheduled day and from the scheduled time, the client presents himself

  in front of the interactive door frame (1) to be recognized by it.

  Several possible wind protocols.

  The simplest is the direct opening of the door after recognition. Additional security levels can be added for the first opening by a telephone call allowing remote authentication, and many other possibilities, such as a preprogrammed remote control, a magnetic card, a digital code, etc. This procedure avoids the marked appointments with the person who must return the keys on the spot, and also reduces costs by eliminating intermediaries, just as it improves the security of the property, by

  deletion of keys whose circulation is not always controlled.

  Likewise, an intrusion outside of stored rental periods can trigger an alarm and authorize recording, according to a pre-established cycle, of all the useful images. These images in the event of an alarm can be viewed remotely, almost in real time, by a centralizing body, private or public, and which decides on the action to be taken, in the light of the images transmitted. The alarm, and / or the images can be received directly by the owner, or his agent, who decides on the

best action to take.

  Another application of the device is the fire alarm by adding thermal cameras or thermal sensors or sensors

of smoke.

  Another important and advantageous aspect of the device allows all professional categories to use its capacity to determine with precision, who is present at home, at a specific time. Advertisers, statisticians, pollsters, tele-operators, can work on reliable and indisputable data. We can know with

  specify the presence ranges and their content.

  Note that for the use of the device, conventional doors cannot be used, only those specially manufactured are compatible. 0 Finally, the device can be used to manage advertising messages

and other events.

  The advantages emerge clearly from the description, in particular, one

  underlines and recalls that the combination of voice and visual recognition makes it possible to identify a presence even before its intrusion into the

local device team.
