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 and one or more auxiliary devices on the same local network. In particular, the system may assign exclusive control over an automated device and one or more auxiliary devices 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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for secure remote connection between multiple entity devices and auxiliary devices for facilitation of interactions, 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;
identify a local network of the computing device of the primary user and the automated machine, and locate one or more auxiliary devices on the local network;
transmit a list of operations of the one or more auxiliary devices to the primary user via the entity application;
generate an audio and video session between the automated machine and the computing device of the primary user; and
receive an instruction set from the computing device of the primary user and trigger the automated machine and the one or more auxiliary devices to perform an interaction.

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 and the one or more auxiliary devices 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 one of the one or more auxiliary user devices.

7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more auxiliary devices further comprise a coin dispensing machine or specialized check printer.

8. A computer program product for secure remote connection between multiple entity devices and auxiliary devices for facilitation of interactions, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-readable program code portions embodied therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising executable portions for:
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;
identifying a local network of the computing device of the primary user and the automated machine, and locating one or more auxiliary devices on the local network;
transmitting a list of operations of the one or more auxiliary devices to the primary user via the entity application;
generating an audio and video session between the automated machine and the computing device of the primary user; and
receiving an instruction set from the computing device of the primary user and triggering the automated machine and the one or more auxiliary devices to perform an interaction.

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

10. The computer program product of claim 8 , 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.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 , 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.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 , 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.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 , further comprising transmitting instructions to display a message on the automated machine directing the secondary user to a location of one of the one or more auxiliary user devices.

14. A computer-implemented method for secure remote connection between multiple entity devices and auxiliary devices for facilitation of interactions, 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;
identifying a local network of the computing device of the primary user and the automated machine, and locating one or more auxiliary devices on the local network;
transmitting a list of operations of the one or more auxiliary devices to the primary user via the entity application;
generating an audio and video session between the automated machine and the computing device of the primary user; and
receiving an instruction set from the computing device of the primary user and triggering the automated machine and the one or more auxiliary devices to perform an interaction.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the interaction further comprises dispensing or generating one or more physical items such as cash, coins, or cashier's checks.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , 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.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , 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.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , further comprising identifying the secondary user via an NFC communication between the
