Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system for a functionalized pane in a door, through which person-based and/or object-based authorization verification can be carried out is provided. The person-based verification can include a holography-based, stereoscopic holocamera that can be integrated into the pane. In addition, a holographic display that can also be integrated into the pane can be included. Corresponding methods can be used to carry out the authorization verification under the control of the control device and to control a locking mechanism of a door and a holographic display.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A system for a door opener controller of a door or hatch having a functionalized pane, comprising: a transparent main body having a front side and a back side for the functionalized pane; at least one holographic camera for a stereoscopic picture recording of a defined detection region vis-à-vis the front side and/or the back side of the transparent main body; and a control device, wherein the at least one holographic camera comprises at least one recording hologram which comprises a main body and serves to divert light beams from the detection region, wherein the holographic camera and the control device are configured for a person-based authorization verification of a person recorded by the stereoscopic picture recording, the person-based authorization verification being based on at least one property of the person that is establishable by the stereoscopic picture recording, and wherein the control device is configured to output an unlock signal for an opening of the door in the case of at least a person-based authorization. 2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising: a first communications means for transmitting and receiving signals, wherein the first communications means and control device are configured for an object-based authorization verification of an assigned, second communications means for transmitting and receiving signals, wherein the object-based authorization verification is based on a position and/or movement of the second communications means in relation to a specified near region of the first communications means and on properties of signals exchanged between the first and second communications means, and wherein the control device is configured to output an unlock signal for an opening of the door in the case of the person-based authorization and an object-based authorization of the second communications means. 3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the control device is configured to enable a person-based authorization verification only after an object-based authorization. 4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a closure component which is configured for locking or unlocking the door, wherein the closure component is configured for an unlocking of the door when the unlock signal is output by the control device. 5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an operator control component which is configured for an operation of the door by the person, wherein the operator control component is configured for an activation of the operator control component when the unlock signal is output by the control device. 6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the operator control component comprises a proximity sensor on the basis of ultrasound, an optical sensor a wireless communications interface, and/or radar, and/or wherein the operator control component comprises a holography-based operator control component. 7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one first holographic display for a display of a picture directed at a person. 8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one holographic display comprises a display of an operator control component and/or an operation request for the operator control component and/or a display of a desired detection position for the person in the detection region. 9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first holographic display is configured to generate the display in the case of an illumination from an ambient light of the transparent main body. 10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one holographic display and the control device are configured to generate the first display of the picture in the case of the object-based authorization and/or the person-based authorization. 11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the holographic camera comprises at least one image sensor, wherein the recording hologram, transparent main body, and image sensor are configured for an at least partial light transmission between the recording hologram and image sensor by way of light beams guided in the main body. 12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the property establishable by the stereoscopic picture recording is a property suitable for an unambiguous identification of at least one specific person, and/or wherein the property establishable by the stereoscopic picture recording is a property suitable for assigning the person to a specific group of persons, especially for assignment to the group of adult persons and/or non-adult persons. 13. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a door opener configured to open a door in the case of the unlock signal by the control device and/or an open signal by the operator control component. 14. A door with a functionalized pane, for a vehicle, a building, and/or a domestic appliance, comprising the system of claim 1 . 15. A method for a door opener control system for a door or hatch having a functionalized pane, the method comprising: providing a door opener control system, comprising: a transparent main body having a front side and a back side for the functionalized pane; at least one holographic camera for a stereoscopic picture recording of a defined detection region vis-à-vis the front side and/or the back side of the transparent main body, wherein the holographic camera comprises at least one recording hologram which is comprised by the main body and serves to divert light beams from the detection region; and a control device, undertaking a person-based authorization verification of a person recorded by the stereoscopic picture recording by the holographic camera and the control device, the person-based authorization verification being based on at least one property of the person establishable by the stereoscopic picture recording; and outputting an unlock signal for an opening of the door by the control device in the case of at least a person-based authorization. 16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the provided door opener control system further comprises a first communications means for transmitting and receiving signals, wherein the method further comprises: establishing a signal exchange with an assigned, second communications means for transmitting and receiving signals if the latter is situated within the transmission and reception range of the first communications means; undertaking an object-based authorization verification by the control unit and first communications means on the basis of a position and/or movement of the second communications means in relation to a specified near region of the first communications means and the properties of exchanged signals; outputting an unlock signal by the control unit for an opening of the door in the case of the person-based authorization and an object-based authorization of the second communications means in the object-based authorization verification, and wherein the person-based authorization verification is only undertaken after an object-based authorization. 17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the provided door opener control system further comprises a closure component which is configured for locking or unlocking the door, and wherein the closure component undertakes an unlocking of the door when the unlock signal is output by the control device. 18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the provided door opener control system further comprises an operator control component which is configured for an operation of the door by the person, wherein the operator control component is activated when the unlock signal is output by the co
