  • Presence detection and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11087610
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises detecting, with a presence detector such as a radar device, a presence of a person at a location such as an ATM vestibule. In response thereto, a timer is initiated. After initiating the timer, a portal sensor is used to detect a change in a status of a portal permitting access to the location. In response thereto, the timer is adjusted (for example the timer is reset). Thus, multiple consecutive normal usages of the vestibule do not unnecessarily trigger an alarm.
