AI Technical Summary
Current methods for defining and programming access control and network devices in building environments are laborious, prone to errors, and require extensive manual intervention, especially in large installations where thousands of access points and devices need to be configured.
A computer-implemented method and system that uses image files to identify and program devices by receiving indicia representing device categories, associating user-defined data sets with device behaviors, and converting this data into a format readable by an installation system for automatic programming, reducing manual intervention and errors.
This approach enables efficient, accurate, and rapid programming of access control points and network switches, minimizing errors and providing a fully auditable system for device commissioning across different platforms.
