AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINE COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE CAMERA THAT PRODUCES IMAGE DATA TO DETECT MANIPULATION ATTEMPTS

摘要

The invention proposes an automated teller machine having at least one camera to detect manipulation attempts, said camera capturing images of one or more elements arranged in the control panel, such as the keyboard, money-dispensing compartment, and card entry slot, for example, and producing image data from a plurality of individual image recordings (F1, F2, F3). The one or more cameras are connected to a data processing unit that preprocesses the produced image data (individual image data) into a resulting image (R). The preprocessed image data of the resulting image (R) can be computed, for example, from the individual images (F1, F2, F3) by means of exposure blending and represents a very good database for data analysis to detect manipulation.
