MERCHANT POINT OF SALE SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A point of sale (POS) security system, comprising:
- a POS device including;
one or more hardware processors;
one or more environment sensors in communication with the one or more hardware processors; and
a non-transitory memory storing;
a plurality of POS instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, provide a POS engine to receive and transmit payment information for conducting a payment transaction associated with a purchase;
a plurality of security instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, provide a security engine to receive environment signals from the one or more environment sensors and analyze the environment signals to determine a security breach; and
a plurality of transition instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, transition the POS device from executing the plurality of POS instructions within a first time period to executing the plurality of security instructions within a second time period.

Abstract
A point of sale (POS) security system includes a POS device including a non-transitory memory, one or more hardware processors, and one or more environment sensors. A plurality of POS instructions are located on the non-transitory memory in the POS device and executable by the one or more hardware processors in the POS device to provide a POS engine that is configured to receive and transmit payment information for conducting a payment transaction associated with a purchase. A plurality of security instructions are located on the non-transitory memory in the POS device and are executable by the one or more hardware processors in the POS device to provide a security engine that is configured to receive environment signals from the one or more environment sensors in the POS device and analyze those environment signals to determine a security breach.
