Abstract

Information-security LoRa-wave sensing is used to protect ATMs with LoRa modulator with spread-spectrum modulation techniques and/or transparent laser-guided systems 3D image generation to scan/monitor ATM card slots and ATM keypads for skimmers, fake keypads, etc. Sensor(s) with a DCNN/StNet-based algorithm are trained on 3D dimensions for card slot and keypad. Normal vs. detected constant weight of the keypad as well as weight distribution when keys are depressed are detected. Normal vs. disrupted signals based on the foregoing are observed and used to detect unauthorized objects. NB-IoT LoRa-waves initiate an alarm process. Additional features, functionality, and details are disclosed.
