Contraband detection through smart power components
摘要
說明書
In some embodiments, contraband module 204 also determines whether power should be relayed through smart power adapter 200 based on detecting the user of device 110 and confirming that the detected user is approved for utilizing device 110 and/or any device within the controlled environment (e.g., the controlled environment may include blacklists of inmates that are not allowed to utilize devices). Contraband module 204 communicates with device 110 to query the user for the user's identification information, such as biometric data including the user's facial data, fingerprint data, and/or voice data. For example, contraband module 204 causes a camera on device 110 to activate and automatically captures an image of the current user of device 110. Contraband module 204 then forwards this image data to smart outlet 120 or monitoring center 130 for determining whether the detected user is authorized to use device 110 and/or authorized to user any wireless device. In some embodiments, contraband module 204 will receive a message indicating that the user is authorized or not authorized and based on this message, contraband module 204 will either allow or prevent power from being relayed to device 110.
