Abstract: The invention is related to an armor kit in a safe, the said kit consisting in armor plates (11, 12, 15, 18) that are juxtaposed to the inner walls of the safe of ATMs and similar equipment, where the attachment of the said plates to the said walls is provided by way of removable retention means, such as screws fitted in threaded holes previously present in the said walls. The kit further comprises means for rigid joining between plates, such means consisting in flat perforated metal plates (13) or in plates that are folded/bent to form angle pieces (16, 19), provided with through-holes for the accommodation of screws.

Abstract: A method for controlling a session of a self-service terminal utilizes an image capture device that captures image frames for identification of a user's face. If a face is identified, a model is temporarily associated with that face. The face is monitored until the user closes the session, thereby generating possible events. When the user leaves the terminal during the session, or a new face assumes the position formerly held by the previous face, the result of the comparison results in the closing of the session. In the case that the same user remains in place until the end of the session, the result of the comparison allows the reduction of requests for confirmation of user identification data.
