Abstract
The disclosure provides systems and methods for increasing the security of financial transaction devices and other places of value. Increased security is provided by analysis of a plurality of sensor and other inputs, and formulation of context-sensitive response plan involving the most probably effective response agents.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- receiving a sensor reading from a sensor positioned proximal to a financial transaction device, the sensor reading pertaining to an incident;
- receiving a contextual data item pertaining to the financial transaction device;
- calculating an expected risk profile based on the sensor reading and contextual data item, wherein the expected risk profile comprises a probability that a detected behavior is related to a theft incident and an expected incident description that includes a number of perpetrators, a type of attack, weaponry used in the attack and amount of money in the financial transaction device;
- determining an appropriate response element and response plan selected from among multiple possible response options based on the financial transaction device and the expected risk profile, wherein the determining includes evaluating similar historical responses and predicting a behavior of the response element;
- and
- initiating a response from the response element.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store program instructions for instructing the processor to carry out the steps of:
- receiving a sensor reading from a sensor positioned proximal to a financial transaction device, the sensor reading pertaining to an incident;
- receiving a contextual data item pertaining to the financial transaction device;
- calculating an expected risk profile based on the sensor reading and contextual data item, wherein the expected risk profile comprises a probability that a detected behavior is related to a theft incident and an expected incident description that includes a number of perpetrators, a type of attack, weaponry used in the attack and amount of money in the financial transaction device;
- determining an appropriate response element and response plan selected from among multiple possible response options based on the financial transaction device and the expected risk profile, wherein the determining includes evaluating similar historical responses and predicting a behavior of the response element;
- and
- initiating a response from the response element.
