DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In the following detailed description of an implementation of the invention, numerous implementation details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art how the present invention can be used, with or without these implementation details. In other instances, well-known techniques, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the details of the present invention.

In addition, it will be clear from the above description that the invention is not limited to the above implementation. Numerous possible modifications, alterations, variations and substitutions, while retaining the spirit and form of the present invention, will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

At present, access to various objects (for example: objects requiring a high degree of protection, office buildings, apartment buildings, etc.) is provided through primitive and insufficiently secure systems for protecting objects. The proposed method is aimed at solving the above problems by creating a single flexibly configurable unified system for providing access to protected objects.

The proposed solution in its arsenal has several options for contactless provision of access to an object.

1. Through face recognition.

2. When a paired ble device is found.

3. Via a mobile / computing device.

Access control and management systems are installed at various facilities that require varying degrees of access restriction. For example, in residential buildings, it is sufficient to establish one authentication option for entry. Some government agencies and facilities that require a higher degree of security require a higher degree of access control. At the same time, in all types of institutions, it is necessary to maintain safety and comfort while providing access and protection.

The essence of this technical solution is to create a way to provide access and protect an object using a scoring system that allows you to flexibly configure the required degree of access protection for a specific object.

One of the main settings is to set the required number of points, which is necessary and sufficient to gain to activate the opening of access. The setting of the required number of points to open access is set in advance in the Sputnik.Control engineer's application.

FIG. 1 illustrates several options for contactless door opening of a smart intercom, with each opening option giving a certain predetermined number of points.

1. Face recognition (2) - 20 points.

1.1 A video surveillance camera is installed on the interactive panel of the smart intercom. The video stream is being broadcast via the rtsp protocol to the Sputnik.Cloud server (3). Each intercom user who has the right to access the protected object receives a unique electronic key when installing the interactive system. When registering in the application, the user must pass identification by applying an electronic key to the interactive panel of the intercom (1). After that, the user photographs his face in the application from different angles, after which this image is loaded into a database on the server and processed by convolutional neural networks.

The video stream is sent from the cameras of the interactive smart intercom panel (1) to the server. Convolutional neural networks located on the server process the video stream, identify faces from the video stream and compare them with images that were previously loaded into the database. It should be noted that images with faces are stored on the server as files with vectors, which were obtained at the output after processing neural networks. If the face from the video stream directed from the interactive panel matches the image from the database on the server (3), then the scoring system assigns 20 points and provides access to the object if this number of points is sufficient to provide access.

2. If a paired device is found ble (4) - 20 points.

2.1 A Bluetooth module is installed in the interactive panel of the Sputnik smart intercom (1). When switching the panel to engineer mode via the Sputnik application. Control it is possible to activate the bonding (pairing) function with devices (eg smartphones with Bluetooth function) “new residents” (devices that have not been paired before).

Thus, when a previously paired device (4) approaches a sufficiently close distance (2-4 meters), the intercom panel will recognize this device as correct and the scoring system will assign 20 points and provide access to the object if this number of points is sufficient to provide access ...

3. Via a mobile / computing device using the Sputnik mobile application (5) - 100 points.

3.1 After registering in the mobile application according to clause 1.1, a button for opening the intercom appears in the application on his personal device. When this button is pressed, the scoring system assigns 100 points.

The mobile device with the installed application, upon the user's request, sends a request to the server to identify the user, and then, upon positive user identification, determines the user's location and determines the protected object to which the user requests access. Further, upon successful determination of the location of the user and the protected object, the server sends a signal about granting access to the interactive panel of the smart intercom of the protected object. Next, the interactive panel processes the received access grant signal and provides the user with access to the protected object.

The total number of points that the user must score is configured depending on the degree of restriction of access to the object on which the interactive system is installed. In residential buildings, by default, it is set necessary and sufficient to score 20 points to open the door, that is, it is enough to pass identification with any of the three contactless options mentioned above.

On objects that require a higher degree of protection, it is possible to set the threshold above 100 points. In total, you can score 140 points, but it should be noted that this is a conditional value, since it is possible to set any number of points in advance, for example, to assign 100 points for each authentication option. The threshold will require identification in two or all three ways.

Thus, it becomes possible to comprehensively exclude the provision of access to third parties. When activating the button for providing access via a mobile / computing device, it will be necessary to go through the face recognition procedure (2) and / or stay in sufficient proximity to the intercom panel (1) of the paired device (for example, a smartphone with Bluetooth function) (4).

Additionally, it is possible to bind the required number of points required to open an ACS (Access Control Systems) to a specific time, thereby delimiting access to an object at different times of the day. For example, during working hours from 9:00 to 18:00 for access, you must pass identification in one of three ways, while during non-working hours and on weekends, the threshold is set higher, and in this case, for access, you must pass identification by two or all three ways.

The scoring system is one of the elements for setting up the interactive panel of a smart intercom. The interactive panel constantly interacts with the server. In the settings of the interactive panel, the range of apartments, the volume of the call, the panel ID, the required threshold for granting access and other additional settings are set. The main stock of smart intercoms is maintained on the Sputnik.Cloud server. At the same time, a solution has been additionally implemented that provides a server to support smart intercoms in a closed loop.

Scoring system settings are made via API. Implemented web-api, web interface for settings of intercom panels, which is a list of IDs of all intercom panels. To configure, you need to fall into the panel (click on the ID or enter the panel ID in the search), after which we will get to the "personal account" of the panel. In the personal account, the types of possible settings are listed, it is described where and when the panel is installed, it is possible to view the panel logs, carry out diagnostics, see what the intercom cameras are currently broadcasting, open access, see the list of electronic keys, linked ble devices, a list of persons who access for face recognition is provided.

Digital counterparts (copies) of panels are stored on the server, due to which the panel settings on the server are considered correct. For example, if changes were made to the panel settings on the server when the panel was unavailable, then the next time the panel is connected, the panel is synchronized with the server, receives and applies the settings sent from the server.

The degree of protection is configured by an engineer in the Sputnik mobile application. Control or via web-api. Engineer using the Sputnik mobile application. Control or via web-api connects to the Sputnik server. Cloud and makes the necessary settings. For example, it sets the necessary and sufficient number of points to open access.

Satellite application. The control interacts with the Sputnik.Cloud API server. That is, the application is a mobile web.api format with the ability to make the necessary settings, as well as receive information.

The advantage of this solution is the ability to flexibly configure the access control and management system, which makes it possible to expand the potential list of objects on which this smart intercom can be installed.
