Smart door open bot apparatus and methods

Abstract

An apparatus for intelligently predicting human intent for accessing door entry or exit is provided. Firstly, the apparatus provides a hygienic and frictionless smart door opening bot that opens and closes based on identifying an authorized person. Particularly, the apparatus identifies proper internal exit intent from the inside. Further, the present invention predicts intent motion of an authorized user. In addition, the present invention operates remotely. Moreover, the present invention provides an ability to remotely control an accessing control device that can communicate via a remote control. In addition, the present invention facilitates easy installation without any tools. Further, the present invention facilitates the design and implementation of an automatic battery swap facility for the prolonged activities of the door open smart bot. In particular, the battery swap station is implemented with battery off-line recharging and on-line exchanging methods. Furthermore, the present invention connects to wireless access devices such as face recognition, BLE, Wi-Fi, UWB or other means accordingly. As an example, in an event where a bot can detect the user via access devices the smart bot can recognize authorized users via voice recognition wake words.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A smart door open bot apparatus comprising:
 a camera for detecting a foot portion of at least one authorized user in the vicinity of a door latched with the bot;   a sensor that detects the at least one authorized user standing in a predetermined range from the door latched with the bot;   a docking module including an energy release button which outputs a drive signal for opening and closing the door;   wherein the sensor directed by the camera determines whether the at least one authorized user has an intention of:   aspects towards the door based on whether a detection signal indicative of detecting the foot portion is input from the camera, characterized in that the sensor further determines whether the at least one authorized user does not stand in the predetermined range from the door latched to the bot and the door can be opened or closed based on the detection signal from the sensor, and   wherein the energy release button is configured to output the drive signal for opening and closing the door when the sensor directed by the camera determines that the at least one authorized user has an intention of one of a plurality of aspects towards the door based on the detection of the foot portion by the camera while the at least one authorized user does not stand in the predetermined range from the door;   a screen which displays one of a plurality of messages that reflects one of a set of commands intended by the at least one authorized user; and   a clamp which automatically latches with the door to self-calibrate operative of at least one mode.   
     
     
         2 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a battery pack for exchanging at least one powered battery placed inside the smart door open bot. 
     
     
         3 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured for receiving data relating to the aspects of the at least one authorized user, including data from the camera, the sensor, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 3 , configured for extracting, at the smart door open bot, from the received data, features relevant to events relating to the at least one authorized user. 
     
     
         5 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 4 , configured for extracting, at the smart door open bot, at least one intent of at least one event relating to the at least one authorized user. 
     
     
         6 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 5 , configured for performing, at the smart door open bot, an action based on the extracted at least one intent. 
     
     
         7 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the data relating to the aspects of the at least one authorized user comprises live data retrieved from a plurality of capture points that the at least one authorized user is exposed to and wherein the bot interacts with at least one of the camera, the sensor, a depth AI camera, microphone, smart mobile, smart watch, smart door lock, voice controller, or mobile robot. 
     
     
         8 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises at least one of an audio sensor, video sensor, or biometric sensor. 
     
     
         9 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the data further comprises at least one of text, audio, video, social media content, chat, SMS, email, real-time movements, breathing, cardiac frequency, and sleep patterns. 
     
     
         10 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one of the at least one of the set of commands is reflected from the at least one authorized user or occurrence when the smart door open bot adjusts height in accordance with the door during an event of opening or closing the door or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the camera matches walking patterns by detecting speed and direction of the foot of the at least one authorized user. 
     
     
         12 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the docking module acts as a lock member when engaged with a power transfer line, the power transfer line is locked to supply power to the bot. 
     
     
         13 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the docking module acts as a unlock member when engaged with a power transfer line, the power transfer line is unlocked to supply power to the bot. 
     
     
         14 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein thickness of the door is maintained between minimum of three millimeter to maximum of thirty-five millimeter. 
     
     
         15 . The smart door open bot apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein gap between floor and the door is maintained between minimum of three millimeter to maximum of twenty-five millimeter.
