  • Patent number: 11763662
    Abstract: Example aspects include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of enforcing dynamic social distancing rules, comprising monitoring video frames of one or more video feeds, classifying a plurality of persons in the video frames, calculating respective distances between each person of the plurality of persons and remaining persons of the plurality of persons, detecting mask usage of the plurality of persons, measuring a dwell time of the plurality of persons, determining whether the plurality of persons are in violation of the dynamic social distancing rules, and generating an alert. The mask usage indicating whether each person of the plurality of persons is wearing a mask. The dwell time indicating a duration of time that each person of the plurality of persons has been within a proximity threshold to the remaining persons of the plurality of persons.

  • Publication number: 20230274552
    Abstract: Example implementations include a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium comprising determining, by a computing device, whether a current time of day is outside a pre-determined time period and/or whether a quantity of people in an area is less than a count threshold and/or whether a security event is detected in image-surveilled data associated with a destination; and sending, by the computing device and responsive to the current time of day being outside the pre-determined time period and/or the quantity of people in the area being less than the count threshold and/or the security event being detected in the image-surveilled data associated with the destination, a notification to a user, wherein the notification is configured to provide one or more options for a security escort for the user to reach the destination.

  • Publication number: 20230262068
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a method, a system, and/or a non-transitory computer readable medium for generating a visual code visual code associated with access to an access-controlled asset, wherein the visual code expires after an amount of time or at an expiration time, transmitting the visual code to a dedicated access device of a requester, receiving an image of the visual code displayed by the dedicated access device, determining whether to grant access to the access-controlled asset by verifying authentication of the visual code, and sending a signal to the access-controlled asset granting access to the requester associated with the dedicated access device.

  • Patent number: 11594086
    Abstract: Example aspects include a method, an apparatus and a computer-readable medium of operating an access control system, comprising detecting a person at an access control area. The aspects further include determining whether the person is wearing a mask. Additionally, the aspects further include switching, in response to determining that the person is wearing the mask, the access control system into a frictionless mode. Additionally, the aspects further include obtaining, according to the frictionless mode, identification information of the person via touchless interaction between the person and the access control system. Additionally, the aspects further include identifying the person according to the identification information of the person.
