US 11,961,326 B2 · Methods and systems for maintaining hygienic conditions in automatic teller machines

Abstract

Methods and systems are described for maintaining hygienic conditions in automatic teller machines by detecting whether or not a user is not in compliance with a hygienic standard. If a user is not in compliance, then the automatic teller machine may execute a hygienic action to cleanse the automatic teller machine. For example, the hygienic action may comprise automatically cleansing the automatic teller machine, disabling the automatic teller machine from service, transmitting a sanitation service request to an automatic teller machine provide, and/or initiating an alternative control scheme (e.g., voice controls, gesture-based controls, etc.) for the automatic teller machine.
