Abstract
Computer implemented systems and methods are provided for an automatic teller machine. In some embodiments, an automatic teller machine may comprise a display, a physical barrier configured to intersect a line of sight from a location adjacent the automatic teller machine to the display, one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to determine that a user is operating the automatic teller machine. The one or more processors may be further configured to alter a degree of opacity of the physical barrier, based on the determining.
Claims20
An automatic teller machine comprising:
- a display;
- at least one proximity sensor;
- a physical barrier having a variable degree of opacity, the barrier being configured to intersect a line of sight from a location adjacent the automatic teller machine to the display;
- one or more memory devices storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a user is operating the automatic teller machine;
- based on the determining that a user is operating the automatic teller machine, altering a degree of opacity of the barrier;
- determining, using the at least one proximity sensor, whether a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller machine;
- displaying, based on a determination that a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller, a warning message on a surface of the barrier facing the user, and
- altering the degree of opacity of the barrier (i) using a switchable glass technology and (ii) based on the determination that a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller.
A method for providing automatic teller machine security, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors:
- determining that a user is operating the automatic teller machine;
- based on the determining that a user is operating the automatic teller machine, altering an opacity of a barrier of the automatic teller machine, the physical barrier being configured to intersect a line of sight from a location adjacent the automatic teller machine to the display;
- determining whether a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller machine;
- displaying, based on a result of the determination that a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller, a warning message on a surface of the barrier facing the user;
- and
- altering the degree of opacity of the barrier (i) using a switchable glass technology and (ii) based on the determination that a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to operate an automatic teller machine by performing operations comprising:
- determining that a user is operating the automatic teller machine;
- based on the determining that a user is operating the automatic teller machine, altering an opacity of a physical barrier of the automatic teller machine, the physical barrier being configured to intersect a line of sight from a location adjacent the automatic teller machine to the display;
- determining whether a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller machine;
- displaying, based on a result of the determination that a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller, a warning message on a surface of the barrier facing the user;
- and
- altering the degree of opacity of the barrier (i) using a switchable glass technology and (ii) based on the determination that a person other than the user is in proximity to the automatic teller.
