Abstract

Systems and methods of a doorbell device initiating a state change of an access control device and/or a control panel responsive to two-factor authentication are provided. Such systems and methods can include the doorbell device receiving first access credentials from a first device, determining whether the first access credentials are valid, and determining whether the first device has been authenticated with two factors by determining whether an indication of two-factor authentication of the first device has been received from the first device or by soliciting and validating second access credentials from a second device. When the first access credentials are valid and the first device has been authenticated with the two factors, the doorbell device can transmit a state change command to the access control device that controls access to a secured area associated with the doorbell device and/or the control panel that monitors the secured area.

Description

SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF A DOORBELL DEVICE INITIATING A STATE CHANGE OF AN ACCESS CONTROL DEVICE AND/OR A CONTROL PANEL
RESPONSIVE TO TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates generally to security systems and access control systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods of a doorbell device initiating a state change of an access control device and/or a control panel responsive to two-factor authentication.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Known security systems and access control systems can receive commands and/or access credentials from a device. However, such systems do not authenticate the device, the commands, and/or the access credentials with two factors prior to taking some action responsive to the commands and/or the access credentials. [0003] In view of the above, there is a need and an opportunity for improved systems and methods.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0004] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system in accordance with disclosed embodiments;
[0005] FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of a method in accordance with disclosed embodiments; and
[0006] FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of a method in accordance with disclosed embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0007] While this invention is susceptible of an embodiment in many different forms, specific embodiments thereof will be described herein in detail with the
understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention. It is not intended to limit the invention to the specific illustrated embodiments.
[0008] Embodiments disclosed herein can include systems and methods of a doorbell device initiating a state change of an access control device and/or a control panel responsive to two-factor authentication. For example, the doorbell device can ensure that (1 ) access credentials received from a first device, such as a mobile device, instructing the doorbell device to initiate the state change are valid and (2) the first device is proximate to (i.e. within a predetermined distance or a transmission range of) a second device, such as a keyfob or other two-factor authentication device, prior to initiating the state change. Such two-factor authentication can increase the likelihood that an authorized user in possession of both the first device and the second device is requesting the state change and not another person who may have stolen the first device, but is not in possession of the second device.
[0009] In some embodiments, the doorbell device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device via communication with only the first device. However, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device via communication with both the first device and the second device. In any embodiment, the doorbell device can include a transceiver device for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the first device, the second device, the access control device, the control panel, and/or a cloud server device and a programmable processor for executing the methods disclosed herein.
[0010] Various embodiments of the first device and the second device are contemplated. For example, in some embodiments, the first device can include the mobile device, such as a smart phone, a tablet, a low powered remote control device, or another portable programmable device, and in some embodiments, the second device can include the two-factor authentication device, such as the keyfob, a wireless dongle, wireless headphones, a smart watch, a wireless location beacon, another mobile device, or another low powered device that can connect to and/or pair with the first device. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first device can include the two-factor authentication device, and the second device can include the mobile device.
[0011] As explained above, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device via communication with only the first device. In these embodiments, the doorbell device can receive first access credentials from the first device, determine whether the first access credentials are valid, and determine whether the doorbell device receives an indication of two-factor authentication of the first device from the first device. The indication of two-factor authentication can confirm to the doorbell device that the first device is proximate to the second device, and in some embodiments, the doorbell device can receive the first access credentials and/or the indication of two-factor authentication from the first device responsive to the first device determining that the first device is proximate to the second device. That is, in some embodiments, the first device will only transmit the first access credentials and/or the indication of two-factor authentication to the doorbell device when the first device determines that the first device is proximate to the second device.
[0012] When the first access credentials are valid and the doorbell device receives the indication of two-factor authentication, the doorbell device can transmit a state change command to the access control device, such as a lock, that controls access to a secured area associated with the doorbell device. For example, the state change command can instruct the access control device to change a state of the access control device from locked to unlocked or from unlocked to locked.
[0013] In some embodiments, the doorbell device can be located proximate to the secured area, for example, on an exterior of the secured area. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can include a camera device for monitoring the exterior of the secured area and/or receiving information, such as the first access credentials, from the first device. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can include a user interface, such as a button, that, when activated, can cause the doorbell device to notify an owner or an occupant of the secured area about a presence of a person proximate to the doorbell device, for example by emitting a sound or a tone within the secured area or transmitting an informational signal to a portable device associated with the owner.
[0014] In some embodiments, the doorbell device can transmit the state change command to the control panel in addition to or in lieu of transmitting the state change command to the access control device. For example, the state change command can instruct the control panel to change a state of the control panel from armed to disarmed or from disarmed to armed. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can identify a particular command to transmit to the control panel based on the state of the access control device. For example, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can identify the state of the access control device and, when the state of the access control device is unlocked, transmit an arm command to the control panel. However, when the state of the access control device is locked, the doorbell device can transmit a disarm command to the control panel.
[0015] In some embodiments, the doorbell device can receive a communication request from the first device before receiving the first access credentials from the first device. For example, responsive to receiving the communication request, the doorbell device can transmit an acknowledgement signal to the first device and, responsive thereto, receive the first access credentials.
[0016] Various embodiments for how the first device determines whether the first device is proximate to the second device are contemplated. For example, in some embodiments, the first device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device when the second device is both paired with the first device and connected with the first device, for example, via a Bluetooth or other wireless
connection. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device when first GPS coordinates of the first device are within a predetermined range of second GPS coordinates of the second device. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device when the first device and the second device are connected to a same local wireless network. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device by transmitting a test command to the second device via a low powered wireless connection and, responsive thereto, receiving a response message from the second device.
[0017] Various embodiments for when the first device determines whether the first device is proximate to the second device are also contemplated. For example, in some embodiments, the first device can determine whether the first device is proximate to the second device responsive to receiving user input instructing the first device to transmit the first access credentials to the doorbell device, for example, via a user interface device of the first device, and prior to transmitting the first access credentials to the doorbell device. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first device can determine whether the first device is proximate to the second device responsive to receiving the acknowledgement signal from the doorbell device and prior to transmitting the first access credentials to the doorbell device. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the first device can periodically determine whether the first device is proximate to the second device and, responsive thereto, adjust a display of the user interface device of the first device or what portions of the user interface device of the first device can be activated or selected. For example, when the first device determines that the first device is proximate to the second device, the first device can enable the user interface device of the first device to receive user input instructing the first device to transmit the first access credentials to the doorbell device, for example, by enabling or activating the display or portions of the user interface device of the first device. Flowever, when the first device fails to determine that the first device is proximate to the second device, the first device can disable the user interface device of the first device from receiving user input instructing the first device to transmit the first access credentials to the doorbell device, for example, by freezing, disabling, or deactivating the display or portions of the user interface device of the first device.
[0018] In any embodiment, when the first device is proximate to the second device, the indication of two-factor authentication that the doorbell device receives from the first device can include or be representative of an authentication signal that the first device receives from the second device or another indicator confirming that the first device is proximate to the second device. In some embodiments, the doorbell device can receive both the first access credentials and the indication of two-factor
authentication in a request to change the state of the access control device, and in these embodiments, the doorbell device can determine whether one or more dedicated bits in the request include the indication of two-factor authentication.
[0019] As explained above, in some embodiments, the doorbell device can determine that the first device is proximate to the second device via communication with both the first device and the second device. In these embodiments, the doorbell device can receive the first access credentials from the first device, determine whether the first access credentials are valid, and when the first access credentials are valid, transmit a notification signal to the second device to solicit second access credentials from the second device. In some embodiments, the doorbell device can transmit the notification signal to the second device via a low powered wireless connection to ensure that the second device will receive the notification signal and respond thereto only when located proximate to the doorbell device. However, in any embodiment, responsive to receiving the second access credentials from the second device, the doorbell device can determine whether the second access credentials are valid and, when the second access credentials are valid, transmit the state change command to the access control device and/or the control panel.
[0020] As explained above, the doorbell device can transmit the notification signal to the second device to solicit the second access credentials from the second device. In some embodiments, the second device can be configured to automatically transmit the second access credentials to the doorbell device responsive to receiving the notification signal. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the notification signal can instruct the second device to solicit user input identifying the second access credentials, and/or the second device can be configured to solicit user input identifying the second access credentials responsive to receiving the notification signal. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the second access credentials can be pre-stored on the second device, and the notification signal can instruct the second device to solicit user input with instructions to transmit the second access credentials, and/or the second device can be configured to solicit user input with instructions to transmit the second access credentials responsive to receiving the notification signal. In any embodiment, responsive to receiving user input identifying the second access credentials or user input with instructions to transmit the second access credentials, the second device can transmit the second access credentials to the doorbell device.
[0021] In some embodiments, when the doorbell device determines that the first access credentials received from the first device are valid, but fails to receive the indication of two-factor authentication from the first device or the second access credentials from the second device, the doorbell device can initiate a security action. In some embodiments, the security action can include the doorbell device transmitting a warning signal to a mobile device that is different than the first device or the second device or to the control panel, either of which, under certain conditions or responsive to user input, can authorize the doorbell device to transmit the state change command to the access control device or the control panel despite a lack of two-factor
authentication. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the security action can include the doorbell device transmitting an alarm signal to the control panel or transmitting a locking signal to the first device, for example, when the doorbell device receives the first access credentials from the first device a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time period without also receiving the indication of two- factor authentication from the first device or the second access credentials from the second device within the predetermined period of time.
