Embodiment Construction

[0063] Due to the potentially large number of alerts and notifications associated with a house monitoring system, it is beneficial to employ some recognition / identification and classification process. For example, it would be beneficial to be able to recognize whether a motion event was caused by a visitor approaching the entrance or just walking by and inform the user of the type of event that occurred and the people / entities involved, rather than being installed at the entrance of a house every time someone walks by The user is notified before the camera. This enables the user to more quickly and efficiently determine whether an event requires any action or further inspection by the user. In this way, a user can more quickly and easily distinguish important events (eg, events that require immediate response or more detailed inspection) from trivial events that do not require further inspection or response. In addition, the user can see the nature of the incident at a glance...

Abstract

A method of detecting and responding to a visitor to a smart home environment via an electronic greeting system of the smart home environment, including determining that a visitor is approaching an entryway of the smart home environment; initiating a facial recognition operation while the visitor is approaching the entryway; initiating an observation window in response to the determination that avisitor is approaching the entryway; obtaining context information from one or more sensors of the smart home environment during the observation window; and at the end of the time window, initiating aresponse to the detected approach of the visitor based on the context information and / or an outcome of the facial recognition operation.

Description

technical field [0001] This typically involves responding to visitors to the smart home environment, including but not limited to determining an appropriate way to interact with the visitor based on contextual information. Background technique [0002] Home entrances are sensitive areas often associated with the safety and security of home occupants. Home owners and occupants are interested in monitoring their entrances for safety and convenience. Some existing surveillance systems detect persons in the field of view of security cameras, and some initiate a general alert upon such detection. However, a single type of alert is not suitable for all detected persons. Some persons may be welcome guests, occupants, unwelcome visitors, or simply persons passing through the entrance. [0003] Accurately identifying and classifying visitors to a home is a challenge. It is also a challenge to provide the occupants of the house with meaningful options to respond to these visitors....
