Adaptive ATM Security System for Intruder Deterrence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional ATMs lack effective security measures to deter intruders such as animals, insects, and humans, which can cause damage to the equipment and stored media, and are unable to determine the type of intruder or adjust security levels accordingly.
Innovation Solution
The system detects intruders using sensors and cameras, determines their type, and implements tailored security defense measures, which can be progressively increased based on the intruder's response, allowing authorized users to access the ATM without security measures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional ATMs employ no security measures, then device complexity is minimized, but reliability deteriorates due to vulnerability to intruders
Solution Approach 1:
The security system dynamically adjusts defense measures based on real-time intruder detection. The ATM transitions from a static no-security state to a dynamic security system that adapts its response level according to the detected intruder type and behavior, resolving the contradiction between reliability and complexity through adaptive rather than fixed security measures
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the intruder's response to security measures and uses this feedback to adjust the defense level. When intruders fail to respond to initial measures, the system escalates to stronger defenses, creating a closed-loop security system that maintains reliability while managing complexity through intelligent control
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional ATMs use fixed security measures, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability deteriorates to different intruder types
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes security parameters (type and level of defense measures) based on the detected intruder characteristics. Different intruder types trigger different security parameter settings, enabling the ATM to adapt its security response to match the specific threat while avoiding the complexity of maintaining multiple fixed security systems
Solution Approach 2:
The security system transitions from static fixed measures to dynamic adaptive measures that automatically adjust based on real-time intruder detection and classification, allowing the ATM to respond appropriately to various intruder types without requiring complex pre-programmed responses for each scenario
3Reliability
If the ATM uses progressive security measures, then reliability improves through escalated defense, but loss of time increases due to monitoring and assessment
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs periodic monitoring and assessment cycles rather than continuous full-scale defense. The ATM periodically evaluates intruder responses and escalates security measures at discrete intervals, maintaining effectiveness while reducing the time required for constant monitoring and assessment compared to continuous adaptive responses

AI summary
Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods of providing automated teller machine (ATM) security. A method includes detecting, by the ATM, an intruder proximate the ATM using sensed detection information, determining intruder type information based on the sensed detection information, transmitting the intruder type information to a provider computing system, receiving an instruction to use a level of security defense measure based on the intruder type information, using the level of security defense measure, monitoring a movement of the intruder in response to the level of security defense measure, and in response to the movement of the intruder, determining whether to use an increased level of security defense measure.
