Abstract

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of providing digital access to safety deposit boxes. The systems and methods provide a portal to digitally access a locker by a user. The systems and methods receive a request to access the locker from the user and authenticate the user to provide access. The systems and methods receive a trigger to capture an image of the locker and capture an image of the interior of the locker. The systems and methods identify items within the locker using recognition algorithms; and associate the items with identified labels. The systems and methods annotate the captured image with the identified labels, wherein the annotations are overlaid onto the capture image to create an augmented reality image of the locker. The systems and methods send the image to the user on a user device associated with the user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
providing a locker that is accessible via a portal, wherein the locker facilitates storage of a plurality of items;
capturing an image of an interior of the locker such that the image frames the plurality of items;
performing augmented reality analysis on the captured image; and
providing access to the image via the portal, wherein the portal provides an encrypted data representation of each of the subset of the plurality of items,
wherein the augmented reality analysis includes:
identifying items within the locker using recognition algorithms;
associating the items with identified labels;
annotating the captured image with the identified labels, wherein the annotations are overlaid onto the capture image to create an augmented reality image of the locker;
receiving a privacy level selection;
determining items to be redacted from the annotated image based on the privacy level selection; and
redacting one or more items within the annotated image such that the one or more items do not appear in the annotated image.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising: determining an inventory list consisting of the identified items in the locker.

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising:
automatically updating the inventory list upon detecting access to the locker.

4. The method of claim 3 , comprising:
detecting physical access to the locker;
automatically triggering a new captured image of the locker upon determining the physical access has been completed.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
receiving a request to access the image of the locker via the portal; and
authenticating a user associated with the locker.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the authentication comprises:
receiving one or more credentials associated with the user; and
receiving one or more biometrics of the user to authenticate the user.

7. A system, comprising:
a locker that can hold one or more items for a user;
a image sensor that captures an image of the interior of the locker such that the image frames the one or more items;
an augmented reality component that performs augmented reality analysis on the captured image; and a portal that provides digital access to the image;
wherein the augmented reality component comprises:
an identification component that:
identifies items within the locker using recognition algorithms; and
associates the items with identified labels;
wherein the augmented reality component comprises:
a user interface that annotates the captured image with the identified labels, wherein the annotations are overlaid onto the capture image to create an augmented reality image of the locker;
wherein the augmented reality component comprises:
a privacy component that:
receives a privacy level selection;
determines items to be redacted from the annotated image based on the privacy level selection; and
redacts one or more items within the annotated image such that the one or more items do not appear in the annotated image.

8. The system of claim 7 , comprising:
wherein the image sensor can capture a three dimensional image of the locker.

9. The system of claim 7 , comprising: an inventory component that determines an inventory database of the identified items in the locker.

10. The system of claim 9 , comprising:
wherein the inventory component automatically updates the inventory list upon detecting changes within the locker.

11. The system of claim 10 , comprising:
a monitoring component that detects physical access to the locker;
wherein the image sensor captures an image of the locker upon the monitoring component determining the physical access has been completed.

12. The system of claim 7 , comprising:
wherein the portal receives a request to access the image of the locker from a user; and
an authentication component that authenticates the identity of the user associated with the locker.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the authentication component receives one or more credentials associated with the user, and one or more biometrics of the user to authenticate the user.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions to control one or more processors configured to:
provide a portal to digitally access a locker by a user;
receive a request to access the locker from the user;
authenticate the user to provide access;
receive a trigger to capture an image from the portal;
capture an image of the interior of the locker; and
send the image to the user on a user device associated with the user;
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
identify items within the locker using recognition algorithms; and
associate the items with identified labels; and
annotate the captured image with the identified labels;
wherein the annotations are overlaid onto the capture image to create an augmented reality image of the locker;
receive a privacy level selection;
determine items to be redacted from the annotated image based on the privacy level selection; and
redact one or more items within the annotated image such that the one or more items do not appear in the annotated image.
