Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the field of security for objects and personnel, and to the prevention of robbery and other crimes.
  • the system operates generally by detecting physiological reactions to coercion, and preventing a person under coercion from accessing a secured location or facility, such as a vault, cash drawer, or financial transaction station.
  • Another object is to provide a more secure environment for customers and employees.
  • the present invention provides an anti-robbery security control which performs in response to monitored physiological changes in the human body which occur in response to fear and intimidation.
  • the operation of the system will be described first by reference to Figure 1 , which is a block schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the robbery deterrent system of the present invention.
  • Robbery deterrent system 100 includes an electronic storage site 102 wherein there are stored previously recorded biometric data corresponding to stable physical characteristics of a person. Previously recorded affective bioresponse data corresponding to the same person is also stored.
  • the term "affective bioresponse" is used herein to describe a physiological parameter which varies according to the person's current emotions.
  • the stored data for affective bioresponse include at least a measurement for the person when the person is not experiencing fear, shock, or a high level of stress (i.e. a
  • the stored data may also include a measurement taken when the person was suddenly placed in a state of fear.
  • a biometric sensor 104 is provided for capturing, in real time, biometric data reflecting stable physical characteristics corresponding to a physical characteristic of a person.
  • An affective bioresponse sensor 106 is provided for detecting physiological responses to emotions, such as fear.
  • Affective sensor 106 may employ a variety of known sensor technologies. For example, sensor 106 may collect real time body vital sign measurements of the person, such as pulse rate, blood pressure, blood volume pulse, respiration rate or optical response. Affective sensor 106 may also incorporate a galvanic skin response sensor, or an electromyogram sensor.
  • affective sensor 106 may collect more than one type of measurement and correlate the different parameters for more accurate identification of a fear or stress response, in which case corresponding multiple types of data will also be stored in electronic storage 102. What is important is that affective sensor 106 is capable of detecting any of a variety of physiological characteristics of the person that will inherently change when the person is subjected to sudden fear and stress, such as during a robbery.
  • any desired type of sensor may be used.
  • An encoder 108 is connected to biometric sensor 104 and affective sensor 106, and converts data from the form provided by the sensors to a digital data format, preferably similar to the format used to store previously recorded data in electronic storage 102.
  • Comparator 110 is connected to encoder 108, and determines a degree of correspondence between the captured real time physical characteristic data from biometric sensor 104 and the stored physical characteristic data. Comparator 110 also determines a degree of correspondence between the captured real time body response detected by affective sensor 106 and the stored physiological responses in electronic storage 102. Comparator 110 compares the real time body response to the stored "normal” response to determine whether it is likely that the person being sensed is in an unusual state of fear. Comparator 110 may also compare the real time response to a stored "fear” response. Comparator 110 then determines as a binary condition whether or not the person is being coerced, by threat of force, to provide access to a controlled space or transaction.
  • Access control circuit 112 is connected to comparator 110 and has a control output 114. Access control circuit 112 generates a signal at output 114 indicating whether access to a controlled space or transaction should be provided. Access control circuit 112 also has an input 116 which receives a signal requesting that access be provided. This signal may be used by access controller 112 to initiate operation of the sensors 104 and 106 and a comparison operation by comparator 110. Access control circuit 112 allows access to the secured area, object, or transaction, based on a determination of whether the individual present at the station and their vital signs conform to expected values. If the individual's stable biometric characteristics do not match those of an authorized individual, or measurements of variable vital signs associated with that individual do not match expected recorded values because the individual is experiencing great fear or stress, access to the secured item, area, or transaction is prevented.
  • Output 114 is connected to provide a control signal to an existing control circuit for providing access to the secured space or transaction.
  • output 114 may be connected to known circuits which selectively control access.
  • appropriate known control circuits which can operate with access controller 112 may provide access to vaults, disable an alarm system, release a cash drawer latch (such as in a cash register), or enable an automatic teller machine transaction.
  • Such control circuits are modified so that the presence of an access authorization signal on output 114 is a prerequisite to providing access.
  • Biometric sensor 104 captures real time data corresponding to a stable physical characteristic of a person such as a fmgerprint, palm print, full facial image, features of the iris of the eye, eye retinal pattern, body thermal image, or DNA pattern.
  • Verification of personal identification includes capturing the real time stable physical characteristic image directly from a person; encoding the image; and comparing the encoded image to stored physical characteristic data at the storage site. If the captured image is not recognized as corresponding to any of the stored data access is denied.
  • Biometric sensor 104 may rely on any stable physical characteristic or on a combination of such characteristics for identification purposes. What is important is that the characteristic or characteristics chosen be capable of uniquely identifying an individual as an authorized individual, within an acceptable margin of error.
  • a real time affective measurement is then captured from that person. If the captured physiological measurement fails to achieve a predetermined degree of correspondence with stored data for that person, access is denied. When the captured real time physiological response measurement does meet a predetermined degree of correspondence with stored data for that person, access to a controlled space, area, or transaction is then granted.
  • a controlled space might include a cash drawer, safe, vault, secure space inside or outside, or the point of ingress or egress of a building.
  • Such transactions might include automated teller machine functions, network access such as access to the internet, computer access, or the like.
  • the encoding, electronic storage, comparison, and access control functions of system 100 are preferably implemented in a general purpose computer such as an IBM-compatible personal computer, or may be implemented as a special purpose electronic computing circuit.
  • Biometric sensor 104 and affective sensor 106 are connected to the computer or computing circuit through an appropriate interface card or circuit, which may incorporate encoder 108.
  • Block 1 Operation of the program is initiated in Block 1 , where the system receives a request to begin a transaction or provide access.
  • control passes to Block 2, where the biometric sensor 104 (shown in Figure 1) is activated to collect an image or other data set of a stable identifying physical characteristic of the person.
  • the collected identifying information is compared to a database of stored identifying patterns of persons authorized to access the system. If a match is found (block 4) the person is identified and control passes to block 5, where that person's stored vital sign or other affective physiological measurement record is retrieved. If no match is found, control passes to block 8 and access is denied.
  • the affective sensor is actuated and a vital sign or other real time physiological response is measured. Then, in block 6, the physiological measurement is compared to the stored standard measurement for that person. If the stored non-fear measurement and real-time measurement do not correspond within a reasonable level of variation, i.e. if the person exhibits physiological reactions indicative of a high level of fear or stress, control passes to block 9 and access is denied. Otherwise, control passes to block 7 and access is granted.
  • biometric sensor 104 and affective sensor 106 be arranged or controlled so that the sensors cannot be deceived by the sensing of two different persons at the same time.
  • the sensors should be arranged or controlled with means for preventing one person from interfacing with biometric sensor 104 while a different person (such as a criminal) interfaces with affective sensor 106.
  • Figure 3 shows three examples of embodiments which provide means for preventing one person from interfacing with biometric sensor 104 while a different person (such as a criminal) interfaces with affective sensor 106.
  • Figure 3A shows a circuit 302 which detects body continuity between a first sensing point and a second sensing point.
  • a harmless low voltage, low current signal is provided to the body at one sensor point (shown as an iris scanner used as biometric sensor 104) and is detected at the other sensor location (shown as a fmger sensor for galvanic skin response) to verify that the same individual is in contact with' both sensors.
  • the verification circuit is connected to access controller 112 (shown in Figure 3) and prevents access unless the same individual is sensed by both sensors.
  • Figure 3B shows an integral combination sensor which visually detects a fingerprint using a fingerprint sensor as biometric sensor 104, and at the same time, measures galvanic skin response, pulse rate, or blood volume pulse using affective sensor 106.
  • Sensor unit 304 has a housing 305 with a fmger hole 306 which encloses the sensors yet permits access of a single fmger to contact both sensor 104 and sensor 106. Because of the construction of this sensor, it is physically impossible to present a different fmger to each sensor, and thus impossible to present more than one person's fmger to the sensors at a time.
  • Figure 3C shows a similar arrangement wherein an iris scanner is used as biometric sensor 104 and is integrally mounted with a galvanic skin response, pulse measurement, or blood volume pulse sensor as affective sensor
  • a unified housing 308 positions the sensors in fixed relative positions.
  • the affective sensor may be located in the temple area, for example, so that it is physically impossible to present one person's eye to the iris scanner while presenting another person's temple to the affective sensor.
  • the measurements of biometric sensor 104 and affective sensor 106 are taken simultaneously or almost simultaneously, so that it is impossible to substitute a different person during the sensing process depicted in Figure 2.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système (100) de contrôle d'accès pourvu d'un détecteur (104) de caractéristiques biométriques, lequel système mesure les caractéristiques physiques stables d'une personne cherchant à pénétrer à l'intérieur d'une zone contrôlée. Dans le même temps, un détecteur (106) d'émotions mesure une réaction physiologique de l'individu qui varie en fonction de l'intensité de sa nervosité, de sa crainte ou de son appréhension. Un contrôleur (112) d'accès autorise l'accès à la zone contrôlée à condition qu'au vu de l'identification biométrique, l'individu soit identifié comme une personne autorisée et que dans le même temps, la réaction physiologique de la personne telle que mesurée par le détecteur d'émotions indique que ladite personne ne présente pas une intensité anormale de nervosité, de crainte ou d'appréhension, comme on pourrait s'y attendre si la personne se trouvait avoir une arme pointée sur elle ou soumise à une contrainte quelconque.
