Abstract
A security apparatus and a method for detecting illegal carrying of items at a check-out are provided. The security apparatus includes a first set of sensors for measuring a number of parameters associated with a number of items purchased by a customer, and a second set of sensors to measure a number of physiological parameters of the customer. A communication unit in the security apparatus obtains information regarding a purchase of the number of items. A computing unit of the security apparatus compares reference parameters with the measured number of parameters. Based on a difference in the comparison, the computing unit receives the number of micro-expressions of the customer and determines one or more emotions of the customer. The one or more emotions and the number of parameters associated with the number of items are used to detect illegal carrying of at least one item.
