According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a multi-sense automated teller machine (ATM) security and accessibility system (100) that enables inclusive ATM usage and silent emergency handling during coercive situations. The system employs an image capturing unit (101), a voice recognition unit (102), and a gesture recognition module (103) to support multimodal interaction and discreet emergency signaling. An artificial intelligence-based decision module (104) analyzes recognized voice input, recognized finger-gesture patterns, authentication context, and user interaction behavior to identify an emergency condition based on repetition of a user-registered emergency warning word or recognition of a user-registered numeric finger-gesture emergency code. Upon detection of the emergency condition, an alert generation and transmission module (105) automatically and silently transmits an emergency alert to a designated authority (106) while allowing the ATM transaction to stop and allows the user to visualise the main menu over the ATM."
