Abstract
A terminal with a camera and an attention-getting or redirecting device. The attention-getting device delivers a message to attract the subject's attention, causing the subject to look toward it, while the camera obtains an image or multiple images. The camera may be hidden or, for a deterrence effect, visible to the subject. The attention-getting device may be of one or more various electronic devices, such as electronic or holographic displays, or displays employing motion and audio for capturing attention. Additional cameras may be utilized to compensate for very short or very tall people and for obtaining multiple views of the subject. The image is stored with the transaction data for quick retrieval.
