First Claim
Patent Images
1. A duress detection system for assessing if a person is in duress, the system comprising:
- at least one video camera providing a live video feed;
a library containing at least one representation of duress occurring;
a mechanism for comparing the live video feed from the video camera to the at least one representation of duress occurring;
a mechanism for determining if the live video feed has an image sufficiently close to the image of the at least one representation of duress occurring; and
a notification mechanism for notifying that the system has noted a person showing patterns of duress.

Abstract
The system and method is an analysis video to determine if a person is displaying a pre-determined position indicating that he/she is being held or forced to act under duress. The system takes a digital video image and compares the image to a library of video duress patterns. If a duress pattern is recognized, then the system notifies another party of the situation, such as a security officer.

9. A method of detecting duress comprising:
-
capturing video images in real time from at least one camera; comparing the live video feed from the video camera to the images of representation of duress occurring stored in a library; determining if the live video feed has an image sufficiently close to at least one of the images of representation of duress occurring; and notifying a third party that the system has noted a pattern of representation of duress occurring. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
