Abstract

A device may obtain a first image depicting contents included in a secure storage container at a first point in time and first user account data associated with the secure storage container. The device may store the first image in a data structure associated with the first user account data. In addition, the device may receive data indicating that an individual associated with a second user account accessed the secure storage container, and receive a second image depicting contents included in the secure storage container at a second point in time. The second image may be stored in the data structure. The device may further receive, from a user device associated with the first user account data, a request to access the data structure, and the device may provide, to the user device, data that causes display of the second image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
performing, by a device, one or more computer vision techniques on a first image of a bank safe deposit container;
determining, by the device and based on performing the one or more computer vision techniques, that an object was removed from the bank safe deposit container;
determining, by the device and based on determining that the object was removed from the bank safe deposit container, object data identifying the object based on a record associated with the bank safe deposit container;
providing, by the device, based on determining the object data, and to at least one of a first user device or a second user device, first notification data specifying that the object was removed from the bank safe deposit container,
wherein at least one of the first user device is associated with a first user in control of the bank safe deposit container, or the second user device is associated with a second user having access to the bank safe deposit container;

receiving, by the device, based on providing the first notification data, and from the at least one of the first user device or the second user device, a second image of an exchange of the object between a courier and the first user or between the courier and the second user; and
providing, by the device, based on receiving the second image, and to the at least one of the first user device or the second user device, second notification data specifying that the object was provided to the at least one of the first user or the second user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first notification data includes the first image, or wherein the second notification data includes the second image.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising
storing, in association with the record, at least one of:
the first image, or
the second image.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the first notification data comprises:
providing the first notification data to a server to cause the server to make at least a portion of the first notification data available to at least one of the first user device or the second user device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the record is included in a data structure storing information related to the bank safe deposit container, and wherein the information related to the bank safe deposit container comprises one or more of:
data identifying the bank safe deposit container,
data identifying the object in the bank safe deposit container,
data identifying the first user,
data identifying the second user,
data identifying the courier, or
data indicating when the bank safe deposit container was accessed.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the at least one of the first user device or the second user device and based on determining that the object was removed from the bank safe deposit container, user feedback regarding whether the object data correctly identified the object,
wherein determining the object data further comprises:
determining the object data based on the user feedback.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, based on providing the first notification data, a third image depicting the first user or the second user;
performing, using the third image, facial recognition to obtain data identifying the first user or the second user; and
storing, in association with the record, the data identifying the first user or the second user,
wherein receiving the second image comprises:
receiving, based on storing the data identifying the first user or the second user, the second image.

8. A device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
perform one or more computer vision techniques on a first image of a secure storage container;
determine, based on performing the one or more computer vision techniques, that an object was removed from the secure storage container;
determine, based on determining that the object was removed from secure storage container, object data identifying the object based on a record associated with the secure storage container;
provide, based on determining the object data and to at least one of a first user device or a second user device, first notification data specifying that the object was removed from the secure storage container,
wherein at least one of the first user device is associated with a first user in control of the secure storage container, or the second user device is associated with a second user having access to the secure storage container;

receive, based on providing the first notification data and from the at least one of the first user device or the second user device, a second image of an exchange of the object between a courier and the first user or between the courier and the second user; and
provide, based on receiving the second image and to the at least one of the first user device or the second user device, second notification data specifying that the object was provided to the at least one of the first user or the second user.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first notification data includes the first image, or wherein the second notification data includes the second image.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
store, in association with the record, at least one of:
the first image, or
the second image.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, when providing the first notification data, are configured to:
provide the first notification data to a server to cause the server to make at least a portion of the first notification data available to at least one of the first user device or the second user device.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the record is included in a data structure storing information related to the secure storage container, and wherein the information related to the secure storage container comprises one or more of:
data identifying the secure storage container,
data identifying the object in the secure storage container,
data identifying the first user,
data identifying the second user,
data identifying the courier, or
data indicating when the secure storage container was accessed.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, from the at least one of the first user device or the second user device and based on determining that the object was removed from the secure storage container, user feedback regarding whether the object data correctly identified the object,
wherein the one or more processors, to determine the object data, are further configured to:
determine the object data based on the user feedback.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
receive, based on providing the first notification data, a third image depicting the first user or the second user;
perform, using the third image, facial recognition to obtain data identifying the first user or the second user; and
store, in association with the record, the data identifying the first user or the second user,
wherein the one or more processors, to receive the second image, are further configured to:
receive, based on storing the data identifying the first user or the second user, the second image.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the
