Abstract

A terminal surveillance device, an automatic teller machine, a decision method, and a program on a storage medium that can detect suspicious motion at a terminal device. The terminal surveillance device includes a motion information acquisition unit configured to acquire motion information indicating a motion of a user at a terminal device, a specification unit configured to specify a specific motion of the user from the motion information acquired by the motion information acquisition unit, and a state information acquisition unit configured to acquire state information indicating a state of the terminal device. A decision unit decides whether the specific motion specified by the specification unit is normal, on the basis of a relationship between the specific motion and the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit.

Claims

a specification unit configured to specify a specific motion of the user from the motion information acquired by the motion information acquisition unit;

a state information acquisition unit configured to acquire state information indicating a state of the terminal device; and

a decision unit configured to decide whether the specific motion specified by the specification unit is a normal motion, on the basis of a relationship between the specific motion and the state information acquired by the state information acquisition unit.

2. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the decision unit decides whether the specific motion is a normal motion, on the basis of whether the specific motion is a motion corresponding to the state of the terminal device.

3. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the decision unit decides whether the specific motion is a normal motion, on the basis of whether the terminal device transitions to a state corresponding to the specific motion after the specific motion is specified.

4. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a report unit configured to report a decision result from the decision unit.

5. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the state information acquisition unit acquires the state information on the basis of a signal output from the terminal device.

6. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the state information acquisition unit acquires the state information on the basis of sensor information output from a sensor device that targets the terminal device for sensing.

7. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 6, wherein

the state information acquisition unit acquires the state information on the basis of the sensor information obtained by sensing information reported from a report device provided to the terminal device.

8. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 7, wherein

the report device is provided at a higher position than a position of a card insertion slot of the terminal device.

9. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the motion information acquisition unit acquires the motion information from a camera that acquires a moving image or a still image.

10. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the terminal device is an automatic teller machine.

11. The terminal surveillance device according to claim 1, wherein

the decision unit decides whether the specific motion is a normal motion, on the basis of whether the specific motion is specified after a transition of the state of the terminal device, and a state to which the terminal device transitions is a state corresponding to the specified specific motion.

12. (canceled)
