Publication number: 20230410545Abstract: Light detection and ranging (LiDAR or lidar) technology may be leveraged to enhance and/or provide additional passive security methods for monitoring facilities and/or devices. A lidar device (e.g., camera, sensor, scanner, and the like) may provide light information that may be processed by a lidar processing server to create a three dimensional map of an area, an object, and/or an individual within the area. For example, the lidar device may monitor activity at a particular location (e.g., a secured entrance, a vestibule including an ATM, and the like), which may include generating a three dimensional image of the monitored area. Additional lidar devices may be used by the lidar processing server to generate a three dimensional image of individuals within a secured area, such as a person approaching a security gate, an individual at or near an ATM, and/or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Neal Aaron Slensker, Bryant Coughlin, James Gasper Mathias

Publication number: 20230401551Abstract: Arrangements for adjusting a movable display portion of a self-service kiosk are provided. In some aspects, sensor data may be received from one or more sensors associated with a self-service kiosk. The sensor data may be analyzed to determine one or more dimensions of the vehicle. Based on the analyzed sensor data, a position to which a movable display portion of the self-service kiosk should be adjusted may be identified. In some examples, an instruction causing the movable display portion to adjust from a first, current position to the identified adjusted position may be generated and executed. The user may then initiate the transaction using one or more components of the self-service kiosk in the adjusted, second position. The transaction may be processed by the self-service kiosk. When the transaction is completed, an instruction causing the movable display portion to return to the first position may be generated and executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2022Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Geoffrey George Aslaksen, Neal Aaron Slensker, Anusha Addagudi, Matthew Aaron Whitehurst, Vanesa Mitrevski, Srinivasa Gadiparthy, James Gasper Mathias, Lynda Finn, Michael Young

Publication number: 20230394473Abstract: Arrangements for controlling transaction processing via linked devices are provided. In some aspects, customer linking data may be received from a user. For instance, a user may identify one or more user computing devices, as well as one or more payment devices, such as credit cards, debit cards, and the like. The customer linking data may include an indication to link the user computing devices to the payment devices in order to execute one or more rules limiting transaction processing associated with the payment devices. A request to process a transaction and transaction details may be received from an external entity computing system. The request for transaction and transaction details may be analyzed to determine whether the user computing device is linked to the payment device. If so, the transaction may be authorized and processed. If not, additional authentication data may be requested.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Geoffrey George Aslaksen, Neal Aaron Slensker, Anusha Addagudi, Matthew Aaron Whitehurst, Vanesa Mitrevski, Srinivasa Gadiparthy, Lynda Finn, James Gasper Mathias

Publication number: 20230385795Abstract: Arrangements for haptic feedback control are provided. In some aspects, registration data may be received from a user. For instance, a user may identify one or more devices (e.g., payment devices such as credit or debit cards, mobile devices, or the like) associated with the user. In some examples, the user may also select customized haptic feedback associated with different feedback outputs. After receiving registration data, the computing platform may receive a request to process a transaction. The transaction may be initiated at a point-of-sale system of an entity via the payment device or card of the user. Transaction details may be analyzed to determine or identify a feedback output (e.g., approved, denied, request additional information or the like). Based on the identified feedback output, a feedback output command or instruction may be generated and transmitted to the payment device for execution.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Benjamin F. Tweel, Neal Aaron Slensker, Chanda Joyner
