Abstract
Systems and techniques are disclosed for automated self-diagnosis of surrounding lighting for Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). An example technique may include capturing light intensity data, with a sensor of the ATM, at a particular distance from the ATM, and comparing the light intensity data to a specified light intensity threshold of the ATM. The example technique may include determining, based on the comparison, that the light intensity data deviates from the specified light intensity threshold of the ATM, and in response to determining that the light intensity data deviates from the specified light intensity threshold of the ATM, generating an alert indicating the deviation.
Claims18
A method for sensing an illumination level proximate an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), the method comprising:
- capturing light intensity data, with a sensor of the ATM, at a particular distance from the ATM;
- analyzing historical light intensity data for the ATM including comparing the light intensity data to a specified light intensity threshold of the ATM;
- determining, based on the analyzing including the comparison, that the light intensity data deviates from the specified light intensity threshold of the ATM;
- and
- in response to determining that the light intensity data deviates from the specified light intensity threshold of the ATM, generating an alert indicating the deviation based at least in part on the historical light intensity data.
A system comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- memory, including instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the processing circuitry to:
- capture light intensity data at a first specified distance and a second specified distance from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) using a sensor;
- determine, for the first specified distance, whether the light intensity data at the first specified distance deviates from a first specified light intensity threshold;
- determine, for the second specified distance, whether the light intensity data at the second specified distance deviates from a second specified light intensity threshold;
- in response to determining that the light intensity data deviates from the first specified light intensity threshold or second specified light intensity threshold, generate an alert indicating a distance at which the deviation occurred, wherein the memory further stores historical light intensity data for the ATM;
- and
- use the historical light intensity data to determine that the light intensity data deviates from the first specified light intensity threshold or second specified light intensity threshold.
At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform operations to:
- capture light intensity data proximate to an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) using a sensor;
- compare the light intensity data to a specified light intensity threshold of the ATM;
- determine, based on the comparison, that the light intensity data deviates from the specified light intensity threshold of the ATM;
- analyze historical light intensity data for the ATM to identify a potential issue;
- and
- in response to determining that the light intensity data deviates from the specified light intensity threshold for the ATM, generate an alert indicating the deviation based at least in part on identifying the potential issue.
