Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for facilitating a secure way to allow primary users and secondary users to perform interactions remotely via an automated machine, such as an automated teller machine (ATM). In particular, the system may assign exclusive control over an automated device to a primary user via a computing device connected to the same local network or virtual private network as the automated machine, and may allow the primary user to communicate via the automated machine with a secondary user who wishes to complete one or more resource interactions. In some embodiments, the system may invoke one or more auxiliary devices on the same network to complete the interaction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for facilitating secure remote connection between entity devices, the system comprising:
a memory device with computer-readable program code stored thereon;
a communication device; and
a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device and the communication device, wherein the processing device is configured to execute the computer-readable program code to:
receive a one-time use code from a computing device of a secondary user;
based on the one-time use code, identify an automated machine, and based on the computing device of the secondary user, identify the secondary user;
lock a session between the automated machine and an entity application on a computing device of a primary user;
generate an audio and video session between the automated machine and the computing device of the primary user;
receive an instruction set from the computing device of the primary user and trigger the automated machine to perform an interaction;
trigger one or more auxiliary user devices to perform an auxiliary interaction, wherein the auxiliary interaction comprises producing a physical instrument via the one or more auxiliary user devices; and
display a message on the automated machine indicating directions to obtain the physical instrument.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the interaction further comprises dispensing or generating one or more physical items such as cash, coins, or cashier's checks.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein locking the session between the automated machine and an entity application on a computing device of a primary user further comprises:
identifying that the computing device of the primary user and the automated machine are connected to the same local network or VPN; and
assigning control over the automated machine exclusively to the primary user during a set time period.

4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to identify the secondary user via correlating a geolocation of the computing device of the secondary user with a geolocation of the automated machine.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to identify the secondary user via an NFC communication between the automated machine and the computing device of the secondary user.

6. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising transmitting instructions to display a message on the automated machine directing the secondary user to a location of the one or more auxiliary user devices.

7. A computer program product for facilitating secure remote connection between entity devices, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-readable program code portions which when executed perform the operations of:
receiving a one-time use code from a computing device of a secondary user;
based on the one-time use code, identifying an automated machine, and based on the computing device of the secondary user, identifying the secondary user;
locking a session between the automated machine and an entity application on a computing device of a primary user;
generating an audio and video session between the automated machine and the computing device of the primary user;
receiving an instruction set from the computing device of the primary user and triggering the automated machine to perform an interaction
triggering one or more auxiliary user devices to perform an auxiliary interaction, wherein the auxiliary interaction comprises producing a physical instrument via the one or more auxiliary user devices; and
displaying a message on the automated machine indicating directions to obtain the physical instrument.

8. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein the interaction further comprises dispensing or generating one or more physical items such as cash, coins, or cashier's checks.

9. The computer program product of claim 7 , wherein locking the session between the automated machine and an entity application on a computing device of a primary user further comprises:
identifying that the computing device of the primary user and the automated machine are connected to the same local network or VPN; and
assigning control over the automated machine exclusively to the primary user during a set time period.

10. The computer program product of claim 7 , the computer-readable program code portions further comprising executable portions for identifying the secondary user via correlating a geolocation of the computing device of the secondary user with a geolocation of the automated machine.

11. The computer program product of claim 7 , the computer-readable program code portions further comprising executable portions for identifying the secondary user via an NFC communication between the automated machine and the computing device of the secondary user.

12. A computer-implemented method for facilitating secure remote connection between entity devices, the method comprising:
receiving a one-time use code from a computing device of a secondary user;
based on the one-time use code, identifying an automated machine, and based on the computing device of the secondary user, identifying the secondary user;
locking a session between the automated machine and an entity application on a computing device of a primary user;
generating an audio and video session between the automated machine and the computing device of the primary user;
receiving an instruction set from the computing device of the primary user and triggering the automated machine to perform an interaction;
triggering one or more auxiliary user devices to perform an auxiliary interaction, wherein the auxiliary interaction comprises producing a physical instrument via the one or more auxiliary user devices; and
displaying a message on the automated machine indicating directions to obtain the physical instrument.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein the interaction further comprises dispensing or generating one or more physical items such as cash, coins, or cashier's checks.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , wherein locking the session between the automated machine and an entity application on a computing device of a primary user further comprises:
identifying that the computing device of the primary user and the automated machine are connected to the same local network or VPN; and
assigning control over the automated machine exclusively to the primary user during a set time period.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising identifying the secondary user via correlating a geolocation of the computing device of the secondary user with a geolocation of the automated machine.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising identifying the secondary user via an NFC communication between the automated machine and the computing device of the secondary user.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 12 , further comprising transmitting instructions to display a message on the automated machine directing the secondary user to a location of the one or more auxiliary user devices.
