Gesture recognition for advanced security
Security can be provided for a user in a banking environment by detecting a gesture. For example, a system described herein can include a sensing device positionable to detect the gesture from the user. The system can include a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes instructions executable by the processor to perform operations. The operations can include receiving a notification of the gesture from the sensing device. The operations can also include receiving an input from the user to select an automated teller machine (ATM) operation. The operations can further include determining an intent of the gesture from the sensing device. The operations can include controlling the ATM operation based on the input from the user. Additionally, the operations can include transmitting a request separate from the ATM operation based on the notification of the gesture.
1. A system comprising:
a sensing device that comprises a smart device positionable to detect a set of contactless gestures from a user;
a processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium that includes instructions executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a notification of at least one gesture of the set of contactless gestures from the smart device;
receiving an input from the user to select an automated teller machine (ATM) operation;
determining that the at least one gesture from the smart device is a facial expression that indicates a predetermined meaning defined in the system, wherein the predetermined meaning is a distress signal;
verifying that the at least one gesture is the distress signal based on receiving a different and subsequent confirmation input provided by the user, wherein the different and subsequent confirmation input is a second gesture of the set of contactless gestures that is different than the at least one gesture;
altering the ATM operation based on the predetermined meaning of the at least one gesture and causing the smart device to record video;
identifying a police station located near the ATM;
contacting the police station to report the distress signal at the ATM; and
informing a bank manager of a bank associated with the ATM of the distress signal.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting a request separate from the ATM operation based on the predetermined meaning of the gesture.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart watch.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the input from the user comprises a passcode associated with the at least one gesture to confirm the predetermined meaning of the distress signal.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one gesture is a first facial expression, and wherein the second gesture is a second facial expression that is different from the first facial expression.
6. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a notification of at least one gesture from a smart device included with a sensing device of a system, the sensing device configured for detecting a set of contactless gestures that includes the at least one gesture;
receiving an input from a user to select an automated teller machine (ATM) operation;
determining that the at least one gesture from the smart device is a facial expression that indicates a predetermined meaning defined in a system, wherein the predetermined meaning is a distress signal;
verifying that the at least one gesture is the distress signal based on receiving a different and subsequent confirmation input provided by the user, wherein the different and subsequent confirmation input is a second gesture of the set of contactless gestures that is different than the at least one gesture;
altering the ATM operation based on the predetermined meaning of the at least one gesture and causing the smart device to record video;
identifying a police station located near the ATM;
contacting the police station to report the distress signal at the ATM; and
informing a bank manager of a bank associated with the ATM of the distress signal.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising transmitting a request separate from the ATM operation based on the predetermined meaning of the gesture.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart watch.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , further comprising receiving, by the ATM, a passcode associated with the at least one gesture to confirm the predetermined meaning of the distress signal.
10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processor for causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving a notification of at least one gesture from a smart device included with a sensing device, the sensing device configured for detecting a set of contactless gestures that includes the at least one gesture;
receiving an input from a user to select an automated teller machine (ATM) operation;
determining that the at least one gesture from the smart device is a facial expression that indicates a predetermined meaning defined in a system, wherein the predetermined meaning is a distress signal;
verifying that the at least one gesture is the distress signal based on receiving a different and subsequent confirmation input provided by the user, wherein the different and subsequent confirmation input is a second gesture of the set of contactless gestures that is different than the at least one gesture;
altering the ATM operation based on the predetermined meaning of the at least one gesture and causing the smart device to record video;
identifying a police station located near the ATM;
contacting the police station to report the distress signal at the ATM; and
informing a bank manager of a bank associated with the ATM of the distress signal.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise transmitting a request separate from the ATM operation based on the predetermined meaning of the gesture.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart watch.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the input from the user comprises a passcode associated with the at least one gesture to confirm the predetermined meaning of the distress signal.
