Abstract

A method and security system for preventing misuse of sensitive information entered by an authorized person, including an input interface; a camera a memory configured to store information; a processing circuitry connected to the input interface, the camera and the memory configured to cause security system to activate a first input session wherein the input interface is adapted to receive input of sensitive information by a first person in an operational vicinity of the input interface; detect, by the camera unit, a second face of a second person at a second distance from the input interface; and store a first security association data comprising information regarding the first input session and information about the second person in the memory for preventing misuse of sensitive information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle security system for preventing misuse of sensitive information entered by an authorized person, the vehicle security system comprises:
an input interface configured to receive input of information by a person;
a camera configured to perform face detection of a person;
a memory configured to store information;
a processing circuitry connected to the input interface, the camera and the memory configured to cause vehicle security system to:
activate a first input session wherein the input interface is adapted to receive input of sensitive information by a first person in an operational vicinity of the input interface;
detect, by the camera unit, a second face of a second person at a second distance from the input interface;
store a first security association data comprising information regarding the first input session and information about the second person in the memory for preventing misuse of sensitive information;
analyze the first security association data to determine what possible sensitive information that could have been observed by the second person; and
send information about what possible sensitive information that could have been observed by the second person to an authorized person or authorized entity.

2. The vehicle security system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
determine the second distance from the input interface to the second person; and
generate an alert signal if it is determined that the second person is closer than a predetermined distance from the input interface.

3. The vehicle security system according claim 2 , wherein the alert signal is displaying an image of the face of the second person on a display.

4. The vehicle security system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
detect, by the camera unit, a first face of the first person at a first distance from the input interface.

5. The vehicle security system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
determine, by using face recognition data of the first person and face recognition data of the second person obtained by the camera, if the first person and the second person are authorized to input sensitive information via the input interface.

6. The vehicle security system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle security system further comprising a sensor configured to detect a person approaching the sensor.

7. The vehicle security system according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
determine, by using any of the camera or the sensor, that the second person is approaching the input interface; and
generate an alert signal based on that the second person is approaching the input interface.

8. The vehicle security system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle security system is configured to initiate communication with a remote surveillance system to start recording of the second person by the remote surveillance system.

9. A vehicle comprising
a door entrance system;
a communication interface for communication with a remote server via a communications network;
and the vehicle security system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle security system is adapted to send face recognition data obtained by the camera to the remote server for determining if a person is authorized to access the door entrance system.

10. A vehicle security system for preventing misuse of sensitive information entered by an authorized person, the vehicle security system comprises:
an input interface configured to receive input of information by a person;
a camera configured to perform face detection of a person;
a memory configured to store information;
a processing circuitry connected to the input interface, the camera and the memory configured to cause vehicle security system to:
activate a first input session wherein the input interface is adapted to receive input of sensitive information by a first person in an operational vicinity of the input interface;
detect, by the camera unit, a second face of a second person at a second distance from the input interface;
store a first security association data comprising information regarding the first input session and information about the second person in the memory for preventing misuse of sensitive information
analyze the first security association data to determine what possible sensitive information that could have been observed by the second person; and
discard any further attempt to input the possible sensitive information that could have been observed by the second person via the input interface again.

11. The vehicle security system according to claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
determine the second distance from the input interface to the second person; and
generate an alert signal if it is determined that the second person is closer than a predetermined distance from the input interface.

12. The vehicle security system according to claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
detect, by the camera unit, a first face of the first person at a first distance from the input interface.

13. The vehicle security system according to claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
determine, by using face recognition data of the first person and face recognition data of the second person obtained by the camera, if the first person and the second person are authorized to input sensitive information via the input interface.

14. The vehicle security system according to claim 10 , wherein the vehicle security system further comprising a sensor configured to detect a person approaching the sensor; and
wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to cause the vehicle security system to:
determine, by using any of the camera or the sensor, that the second person is approaching the input interface; and
generate an alert signal based on that the second person is approaching the input interface.

15. The vehicle security system according to claim 10 , wherein the vehicle security system is configured to initiate communication with a remote surveillance system to start recording of the second person by the remote surveillance system.

16. A vehicle comprising
a door entrance system;
a communication interface for communication with a remote server via a communications network;
and the vehicle security system according to claim 10 , wherein the vehicle security system is adapted to send face recognition data obtained by the camera to the remote server for determining if a person is authorized to access the door entrance system.

17. A method for preventing misuse of sensitive information entered by an authorized person, the method comprising:
activating a first input session wherein an input interface is adapted to receive input of sensitive information by a first person in an operational vicinity of the input interface;
detecting, by a camera unit, a second face of a second person at a second distance from the input interface;
storing a first security association data comprising information regarding the first input session and information about the second person in the memory for preventing misuse o
