Appl. No.:

12/122957

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A system and method is disclosed for providing conditional access control using a parametric-based conditional access code. The parametric-based access code is generated by a access grantor, such as a homeowner, parent, employer, rental company, etc., from a set of parameter values associated with an access control device. Such parameters can include date and time, location, purchase amount, type of purchase, etc. Once a parametric-based access code is generated, it can be used by the grantee, i.e., the person seeking access, at the appropriate access control device. The access control device extracts the conditional parameter values and compares them to current parameter values of the access control device. Access is granted only when the conditional parameter values match the current parameter values.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for changing an appearance of a user during a video call is provided herein. Prior to making a call, a user identifies several images that can be used as morphing templates and also identifies a context where each template will be used. During a video call, a morphing template is then chosen based on a context of the call (e.g., time, place, caller identification, etc.). During the video call, the user's image will be morphed based on the chosen template. Because templates used for morphing will be easily changed based on a context of the call, the user will be provided with a simple technique to for morphing their image.
