Point of sale integration with video analytics for fraud detection
First Claim
1. A method of operating a video system to detect fraudulent return transactions, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a return transaction from a point of sale system, wherein the indication of the return transaction indicates a time when the return transaction occurred;
receiving video data of an area proximate to the point of sale system captured at the time when the return transaction occurred;
processing, by a processor, the video data to determine whether a first person is located in a return area and whether a second person is located proximate to the point of sale system; and
determining, by the processor, whether the return transaction is legitimate or fraudulent based on whether the first person is located in the return area and whether the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system;
wherein determining whether the return transaction is legitimate or fraudulent based on whether the first person is located in the return area and whether the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system comprises flagging, by the processor, the return transaction as potentially fraudulent when the first person is located in the return area, the second person is located proximate to the different point of sale system, and a third person is located proximate to the point of sale system.

Abstract
A method of operating a video system to detect fraudulent return transactions comprises receiving an indication of a return transaction from a point of sale system, wherein the indication of the return transaction indicates a time when the return transaction occurred. The method further comprises receiving video data of an area proximate to the point of sale system captured at the time when the return transaction occurred. The method further comprises processing the video data to determine whether a first person is located in a return area and whether a second person is located proximate to the point of sale system. The method further comprises determining whether the return transaction is legitimate or fraudulent based on whether the first person is located in the return area and whether the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon for operating a video system to detect fraudulent return transactions, wherein the program instructions, when executed by a computer system, direct the computer system to:
-
receive an indication of a return transaction from a point of sale system, wherein the indication of the return transaction indicates a time when the return transaction occurred; receive video data of an area proximate to the point of sale system captured at the time when the return transaction occurred; process the video data to determine whether a first person is located in a return area and whether a second person is located proximate to the point of sale system; and determine whether the return transaction is legitimate or fraudulent based on whether the first person is located in the return area and whether the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system; wherein the program instructions, to direct the computer system to determine whether the return transaction is legitimate or fraudulent based on whether the first person is located in the return area and whether the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system, instruct the computer system to flag the return transaction as potentially fraudulent when the first person is located in the return area, the second person is located proximate to the different point of sale system, and a third person is located proximate to the point of sale system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of operating a video system to detect fraudulent return transactions, the method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a return transaction from a point of sale system, wherein the indication of the return transaction indicates a time when the return transaction occurred; receiving video data of an area proximate to the point of sale system captured at the time when the return transaction occurred; processing, by a processor, the video data to determine whether a first person is located in a return area and whether a second person is located proximate to the point of sale system; if the first person is located in the return area and the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system, determining that the return transaction is legitimate; if the first person is located in the return area, no person is located proximate to the point of sale system, and the second person is located proximate to a different point of sale system, determining, by the processor, that the return transaction is legitimate; if the first person is located in the return area, the second person is located proximate to the different point of sale system, and a third person is located proximate to the point of sale system, flagging, by the processor, the return transaction as potentially fraudulent; and if the first person is not located in the return area and the second person is located proximate to the point of sale system, flagging, by the processor, the return transaction as potentially fraudulent. - View Dependent Claims (18)
