Abstract: An authentication system accesses an image of a face of a user. The face of the user is partially covered by a facial mask. The authentication system detects an area on the facial mask and generates a first identification of the user based on the area on the facial mask. The authentication system also detects an exposed area uncovered by the facial mask on the face of the user and generates a second identification of the user based on the exposed area. The authentication system compares the first identification of the user with the second identification of the user, and authenticates the user based on the comparison.

Abstract: In one aspect, a garage door opener system includes a battery configured to be charged by a power source, a controller coupled to the battery, the controller configured to operate a motor that is powered only by the battery, at least one sensor coupled to the motor and the controller, the at least one sensor generating sensor data, and a battery monitoring system coupled to the battery, the controller, and the least one sensor, the battery monitoring system configured to monitor a power consumption of the battery and a state of the battery, and to update an operation configuration of the controller based on historical power consumption of the battery, the state of the battery, and the sensor data.

Abstract: An access control system and method are described. In an example, an access control system includes a tag that interacts with a mobile device and communicates door information to the mobile device. The mobile device provides at least some of the information obtained from the tag to a trusted tag server that is configured to analyze whether or not the information was obtained from a valid and trustable tag. The trusted tag server may then forward along the door information to an access control server for analysis in connection with making an access control decision for the mobile device or a holder thereof. Results of the access control decision can be communicated to a mechanism that actuates and controls a protected asset that is within a predetermined proximity of the tag, thereby enabling access control without a dedicated access control reader deployed on or near the protected asset.

Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes an identity server that is configured to build, manage, augment, and assert a user's identity. The identity server may also be configured to manage attestations for the user's identity.

Abstract: Disclosed here in is a retrofit device compatible with existing electronic locks, the device including a housing, one or more rechargeable batteries capable of providing power to the device, the existing electronic lock, and one or more accessories, and a module enabling wireless communication with one or more external electronic devices. The device is configured such that power can be delivered even when one or more of the batteries is removed, dead, or otherwise incapable of providing power. The module is configured to interface with the existing electronic lock such that commands can be delivered and executed wirelessly.
