Abstract

Aspects of the present invention include methods, systems and computer program products. The method includes a detecting, by a processor, a presence of a user at a location. The method further includes detecting, by the processor, a presence of one or more sensors at the location, where the one or more sensors are communicatively coupled together and to the processor. The method further includes determining, by the processor, that the user can be sensed by the one or more sensors at the location. The method further includes notifying, by the processor, the user that a selectable personalized service is available to the user at the location. The method further includes providing, by the processor, the selectable personalized service to the user at the location, where the selectable personalized service notifies the user as to an existence of any anomalies with respect to the user.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

detecting, by a processor, a user at a location, where the location comprises a vehicle parking facility;
and
wherein the vehicle parking facility comprises an egress gate for entry to and exit from the parking facility;
detecting, by the processor, one or more sensors at the location, wherein the one or more sensors are communicatively coupled together and to the processor;
determining, by the processor, that the user is sensed by the one or more sensors at the location;
identifying, by the processor, a vehicle of the user based on sensor data obtained from the one or more sensors at the location;
determining, by the processor, a parking location of the vehicle of the user based at least in part on the sensor data;
analyzing, by the processor, the parking location to determine that the one or more sensors are able to provide one or more selectable personalized services for the vehicle in the parking location;
responsive to determining that the one or more sensors are able to provide the one or more selectable personalized services for the vehicle in the parking location, notifying, by the processor, the user that the one or more selectable personalized services are available to the user with the user at the location, where the one or more selectable personalize services include a vehicle security service;
and
responsive to receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more selectable personalized services, providing, by the processor, the selected personalized service to the user at the location, where the selected personalized service notifies the user as to detection of any anomalies with respect to the user;
and
responsive to detecting any anomalies, providing sensor data corresponding to the any anomalies, from the one or more sensors at the location, to the user, wherein the any anomalies comprise an unauthorized movement of the vehicle of the user;
and
preventing the egress gate from opening based at least in part on the unauthorized movement of the vehicle of the user.

12 more elements

A computer system comprising:

a memory having program instructions stored therein;
a processor in communication with the memory, the program instructions when executed by the processor, causing the computer system to:
detect a user at a location, where the location comprises a vehicle parking facility;
and
wherein the vehicle parking facility comprises an egress gate for entry to and exit from the parking facility;
detect one or more sensors at the location, where the one or more sensors are communicatively coupled together and to the processor;
determine that the user is sensed by the one or more sensors at the location;
identify a vehicle of the user based on sensor data obtained from the one or more sensors at the location;
determine a parking location of the vehicle of the user based at least in part on the sensor data;
analyze the parking location to determine that the one or more sensors are able to provide one or more selectable personalized services for the vehicle in the parking location;
responsive to determining that the one or more sensors are able to provide the one or more selectable personalized services for the vehicle in the parking location, notify the user that the one or more selectable personalized services are available to the user with the user at the location, where the one or more selectable personalized services include a vehicle security service;
and
in response to receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more selectable personalized services, provide the selected personalized service to the user at the location, where the selected personalized service notifies the user as to detection of any anomalies with respect to the user;
and
responsive to detecting any anomalies, providing sensor data corresponding to the any anomalies, from the one or more sensors at the location, to the user, wherein the any anomalies comprise an unauthorized movement of the vehicle of the user;
and
prevent the egress gate from opening based at least in part on the unauthorized movement of the vehicle of the user.

14 more elements

A computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
detecting a user at a location, wherein the location comprises a vehicle parking facility;
and
wherein the vehicle parking facility comprises an egress gate for entry to and exit from the parking facility;
detecting one or more sensors at the location, where the one or more sensors are communicatively coupled together and to the processor;
determining that the user is sensed by the one or more sensors at the location;
identifying, by the processor, a vehicle of the user based on sensor data obtained from the one or more sensors at the location;
determining, by the processor, a parking location of the vehicle of the user based at least in part on the sensor data;
analyzing, by the processor, the parking location to determine that the one or more sensors are able to provide one or more selectable personalized services for the vehicle in the parking location;
responsive to determining that the one or more sensors are able to provide the one or more selectable personalized services for the vehicle in the parking location, notifying the user that the one or more selectable personalized services are available to the user with the user at the location, where the one or more selectable personalized services include a vehicle security service;
and
responsive to receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more selectable personalized services, providing, by the processor, the selected personalized service to the user at the location, where the selected personalized service notifies the user as to detection of any anomalies with respect to the user;
and
responsive to detecting any anomalies, providing sensor data corresponding to the any anomalies, from the one or more sensors at the location, to the user, wherein the any anomalies comprise an unauthorized movement of the vehicle of the user;
and
preventing the egress gate from opening based at least in part on the unauthorized movement of the vehicle of the user.
