[0028] With reference to Fig. 1, the bank safe deposit box security system (100) with biometric authentication and sensor monitoring comprises: an image capture device (102) configured to capture facial images and fingerprint data for authentication purposes; a control unit (104) comprising a CPU (104a) and a GPU (104b) and configured to perform high-speed, real-time processing and handling of high-resolution biometric facial and fingerprint data; a memory module (106) in communication with the image capture device (102) and the control unit (104), configured to securely store the user information and biometric data records; a wireless communication module (108) configured to enable secure data transmission and real-time system control;a monitoring system (110) having a plurality of sensors (110a) in communication with the control unit (104), configured to perform real-time user tracking and enable access control; and an alert system (112) connected to the monitoring system (110) and configured to trigger alerts in response to unauthorized or malicious activity.

[0029] In one embodiment, the image capture device (102) collects and processes facial images and fingerprint data, wherein the image capture device (102) captures a facial image using a camera unit (102a) and fingerprint data using a contactless fingerprint scanner (102b) for user registration, wherein the image capture device (102) is further configured to transmit the captured facial and fingerprint data to a memory module (106).

[0030] In one embodiment, the control unit (104) retrieves the face and fingerprint data and performs preprocessing, extracting features from face images and fingerprint data and storing the extracted features in the storage module (106), wherein the features of the face images include the distance between the eyes, the shape of the nose, and the contour of the jaw, and the features of the fingerprint data include the unique ridge patterns and detail points of the fingerprint.

[0031] In one embodiment, the memory module (106) utilizes the LPDDR (RAM) (106a) and the external memory (106b), wherein the storage is secure and can protect the data from unauthorized access.

[0032] In one embodiment, the camera unit (102a) and the contactless fingerprint scanner (102b) capture the facial image and the fingerprint data, respectively, in real time for authentication, and the captured data is transmitted to the storage module (106), wherein the GPU (104b) of the control unit (104) performs real-time processing of the facial images and the CPU (104a) of the control unit (104) performs real-time processing of the fingerprint data.

[0033] In one embodiment, the control unit (104) is further configured to: calculate the shortest path from the entrance to the locker using CPU (104a) and GPU (104b), wherein this path is transmitted to a tracking and monitoring system (114) of the monitoring system (110); control an access control system (116) that controls a gate closing mechanism, wherein the CPU (104a) only signals that the entrance gate should be opened to allow access after successful authentication, and wherein a timer is activated to regulate access to the locker;Controlling the monitoring system (110), wherein the monitoring system (110) is configured to track the user's movements in the locker room and to trigger the warning system (112) in the event of malicious activity, and wherein the monitoring system (110) is further configured to provide an exit confirmation of the user, wherein the CPU (104a) allows the exit gate to be opened after the user's purpose in the locker room has been fulfilled; and controlling the alarm system (112), wherein the alarm system (112) is configured to execute a series of alarms, including an audible warning, a visual warning, and an evacuation alarm.

[0034] In one embodiment, the system (100) further comprises a visual display (118) in conjunction with a monitoring system (110) configured to show the user the correct route in the fitting room and to highlight the area of ​​deviation, generating a warning in case of a deviation from the suggested route.

[0035] In one embodiment, the time the user spends in the locker is recorded and stored in the memory module as a logbook for reference.

[0036] In one embodiment, the alarm system (112) is triggered upon a deviation from the designated path, wherein the alarm system (112) triggers warning alarms, sends a real-time notification to a control room or security personnel, temporarily restricts access to all lockers until the deviation is verified and resolved, and captures the intrusion data, including timestamps and sensor logs, for future reference.

[0037] The invention relates to bank safe deposit box security systems and focuses on enhanced protection through advanced biometric authentication and real-time monitoring technologies. The system addresses the weaknesses of traditional access control methods and integrates facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and AI-assisted monitoring to ensure secure access and proactive monitoring of bank safe deposit box facilities.

[0038] With reference to Fig. 2, the system mainly comprises a Wi-Fi module (202), a power supply (204), a microcontroller (206), a local alarm system (208) and a cloud storage (210), wherein the microcontroller (206) controls a camera module (212) configured to facilitate user authentication by capturing fingerprints and facial images, which are further pre-processed using a pre-processing device.

[0039] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the system is designed to enable dual-model biometric user authentication via camera, control user access, perform real-time user tracking, and monitor the locker room. The system uses fingerprint and facial recognition to authenticate users accessing bank lockers. Upon successful verification, the system assigns the user a predefined, sensor-guided path that leads them to their assigned locker. Any deviation from this assigned path triggers an alarm and temporarily locks all lockers, quickly containing potential security risks. The system also tracks the time it takes users to access their lockers, supporting security audits and anomaly detection.

[0040] In relation to Fig. 3, the invention enables seamless and secure registration for new users by integrating multimodal biometrics, including facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. Leveraging contactless technology, the system captures and stores users' unique biometric data without the need for physical interaction. This improves hygiene and convenience, especially in high-traffic environments such as locker rooms. Facial images are captured via a camera-based unit with built-in authentication features. Sophisticated facial recognition algorithms analyze these images to identify key features such as the distance between the eyes, the shape of the nose, and the contours of the jaw. Instead of storing raw images, the system stores extracted facial feature templates, prioritizing user privacy and data security.Additionally, a contactless fingerprint scanner connected via the I2C bus captures fingerprints by isolating unique ridge patterns and minutiae dots and eliminating background noise through advanced imaging techniques. These unique fingerprint characteristics are securely stored in the system's database (memory module), accessible via the AXI bus, ensuring reliable data integrity and security.

[0041] The system uses advanced mechanisms to efficiently process facial and fingerprint data. After the initial processing of biometric inputs, special CPU-assisted feature extraction algorithms are used to identify and extract the critical and significant features of the data and further store them in memory. This approach not only ensures increased security but also optimizes performance. The feature dataset is securely stored in the memory database and uses LPDDR (RAM) and external storage to protect confidential information from unauthorized access. Furthermore, the system leverages the combined capabilities of CPU and GPU resources to ensure fast and reliable processing of biometric data, incorporating redundancy and fault tolerance to maintain reliability.

[0042] In relation to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5A, the invention includes biometric authentication to ensure secure and seamless access to the locker room, the layout of which is shown in Fig. 4. Users are verified through a multimodal biometric system that combines facial recognition and tracking capabilities. A camera unit is used to capture the user's facial image, while sensors track movement for added security. This contactless verification mechanism provides an efficient and seamless access experience. Facial recognition works by capturing a live image of the user, which is analyzed using a GPU for fast computation. The system generates a similarity score by comparing the live image to a stored facial template and grants access only if the score exceeds a predetermined threshold. Furthermore, contactless fingerprint recognition enhances security by capturing an image of the fingerprint and analyzing its unique ridge patterns and minutiae points.These features are compared with stored fingerprint data, with the CPU ensuring a fast and accurate match. The invention uses dual-mode authentication, where both facial and fingerprint data must be compared with stored records before access is granted. Real-time analysis is performed via the GPU, ensuring rapid validation. To ensure user privacy and security, biometric data is encrypted and transmitted securely over the I2C bus.

[0043] With reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5B, the invention facilitates efficient navigation and monitoring in a locker room environment. Once a user is authenticated, the system calculates the shortest path from the entry point to the assigned locker. This path is determined by the CPU using data related to the room layout ( Fig. 4), and further optimized by the GPU for accuracy. The predefined path is then sent to the monitoring module, which ensures seamless integration with the tracking framework.

[0044] The system includes continuous monitoring to monitor user movements in real time. Sensors strategically placed throughout the fitting room track the user, and their activities are recorded in the system's memory for reference. When the user leaves the facility, the system confirms their exit and terminates the session to ensure proper use. Advanced tracking features ensure the user stays on the intended path. The sensors regularly update the user's location via an AXI bus network, allowing deviations to be detected quickly and accurately. The GPU processes these updates to maintain real-time efficiency, thus improving system responsiveness. If a user deviates from the assigned route, the system triggers a series of alerts to guide them back.An audible warning is issued via loudspeakers connected to the output interface, informing the user of their deviation. At the same time, a visual indicator connected via the 40-pin expansion connector highlights the correct route and indicates the branch point. Should the deviation persist, an evacuation alarm is triggered, notifying security personnel via external connections such as the UART bus. This escalation ensures that the facility remains safe and orderly while assisting the user in resuming their intended route.

[0045] In relation to Fig.5B, the system integrates advanced access control and monitoring features to ensure safe and efficient operation. Access to the designated area is facilitated by automatic gate mechanisms that rely on facial and fingerprint recognition for user authentication. Upon successful verification, the gate is unlocked and access is granted, with the I2C bus enabling seamless communication between the central processing unit and the gate's locking mechanism. Unauthorized access is effectively prevented by this authentication-controlled automation. A warning mechanism is integrated to ensure compliance with security standards. If a user deviates from the prescribed route, both audible and visual warnings are activated. In critical situations, security personnel are notified to intervene and take the necessary measures.Furthermore, continuous monitoring within the locker room is achieved through various sensors. These devices track user movements, detect unusual behavior, and ensure compliance with established policies. Through the use of GPIO connections, the system further reacts to unauthorized activity or extended periods of occupancy. The invention includes fully automated entry and exit management. Biometric authentication controls access in real time, with the I2C bus facilitating communication with the automatic gate closing system. At the exit, the system confirms that the user has completed their session and allows them to leave the building. In cases where authentication is not completed or the user exceeds the allotted time, security protocols are activated to prevent unauthorized exits and protect the integrity of the system.

[0046] This invention combines biometric multi-factor authentication with dynamic path tracking to provide a highly secure, efficient, and intelligent locker access system that minimizes the risks associated with unauthorized access and improves overall operational security.
