AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional systems lack a mechanism for authenticating requests from devices or users via assistant devices, particularly in shared settings like dormitory rooms or office buildings, often performing control operations without the device owner's permission.

Method used

A system and method for authenticating wearable devices using cloud anchors, which involve detecting and extracting identifiers from network-associated cloud anchors within a threshold distance, joining the wearable device to the network based on authentication, and utilizing 3D maps and user inputs to grant or deny access to controllable devices.

Benefits of technology

Enables secure authentication of guest devices, ensuring that only authorized users or devices can access network services and control controllable devices, thereby preventing unauthorized access and conserving battery power by reducing reliance on cellular services.

Abstract

To provide systems and methods for authenticating a guest device to access services in an environment.SOLUTION: The method comprises detecting, by a sensor on a wearable device, at least one cloud anchor that includes an identifier associated with a network and configured for a physical environment; detecting that a location associated with the at least one cloud anchor is within a threshold distance of the wearable device; detecting that the wearable device has access to the at least one cloud anchor; in response thereto, triggering extraction of the identifier from the at least one cloud anchor; and joining the wearable device to the network based on a received authentication corresponding to the extracted identifier.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
