Abstract:
A self-service device, particularly an automated cash machine, having an operating unit with an operating panel for entering alphanumeric characters and/or control data, and having a cover surface having a plurality of edges bounding a recess, whereby the operating panel is encompassed, wherein at least one first edge of the cover surface is disposed at a distance from a first edge of the operating panel, forming an intermediate space, wherein a functional strip is disposed, the functional strip being mounted on a mounting frame encompassing the operating panel, said frame being connected to the cover surface by mounting elements.
Abstract:
A media cassette loader is described. The media cassette loader comprises a base; a media loading surface inclined at an angle to the base; and an end wall upstanding from a lower end of the media loading surface. The end wall supports media items stacked on the media loading surface. The media loading surface and the end wall are dimensioned to be accommodated within a media cassette body. This allows the media cassette body to be placed over the media loading surface when stacked with media items so that the cassette body surrounds the stacked media items.
Abstract:
An automated banking machine is operable to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The machine includes a card reader that can read card data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. The machine is operative responsive to read card data to carry out transactions that transfer and/or allocate funds between accounts. The machine can also provide machine users with a receipt for transactions conducted. The machine includes a cash dispenser that can dispense cash to users, and cause the value of dispensed cash to be assessed to accounts corresponding to the read card data. The machine also includes a sheet accepting device that can receive currency notes and/or checks from users. An account that corresponds to the read card data can be credited for the value of received notes and/or checks.
Abstract:
A cash dispensing automated banking machine includes a card reader associated with a card slot. An anti-fraud sensing device is able to sense ambient light or generated radiation that passes to the sensing device through the card reader slot. The installation of an unauthorized card reading device on the machine changes at least one property sensed by the sensing device. A controller in the machine receives signals from the sensing device, and determines if an unauthorized card reading device has been installed.
Abstract:
A computing apparatus is configured to formulate and adjust offers to users of mobile devices that are configured to capture identification information of products, such as UPC codes. The transaction data of the user, the activities of the user capturing the identification information of products, the location of the user, and the user's reactions to the offers are used to incrementally adjust the offers according to offer rules specified by the merchants. The mobile devices can be used to initiate a checkout process for purchasing items identified by the captured identification information of the products from the physical retail store at which the user is currently located, or via an online store associated with an offer presented via the mobile device.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating unique audio and/or video arrangements from coins counted by a coin counting machine are described herein. In one embodiment, the coin counting machine can receive coins and detect one or more properties of each coin. The properties of each coin may be associated with a musical note, graphic, and/or other media component. The media components can be combined to create a media arrangement that can be presented via a speaker, video display, or other media output on the coin counting machine.
Abstract:
A system includes automated banking machines that operate responsive to data read from data bearing records. Transactions can be carried out through communication with local and remote service providers. An automated banking machine is operable to conduct transactions for machine users responsive to data read from user cards and communication with a transaction host. The machine is operable to provide output signals which drive external displays. The machine is operable to receive visual and/or audio content from remote content sources, store data corresponding to the content, and then output the content through the external displays.
Abstract:
An automated banking machine operates responsive to data bearing records to carry out financial transactions. The machine includes a card reader that operates to read data from user cards that corresponds to financial accounts. The machine also includes a display, at least one manual input device, a cash dispenser, and a machine computer that operates to cause financial transactions to be carried out on financial accounts that correspond to data read from cards. The machine computer is also operative to cause digital information to be sent from the machine to a machine user's remote system address.
Abstract:
An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from data bearing records, such as user cards, to cause machine user authorization and financial transfers. Account data read from a user card is associated in a data store with instructions for displaying a customer interface uniquely associated with the particular bank where the user holds the account. The customer interface includes user-selectable financial transaction options. The arrangement enables the customer interface of the user's home bank, with which the user is familiar, to also be automatically displayed when the user operates automated banking machines of other banks.
Abstract:
A banking system is controlled responsive to data read from data bearing records. The banking system includes an automated banking machine. The machine is operable to carry out a financial transaction for a person responsive to a determination that the person is an authorized user of the machine based on correspondence between identifying data read by a reader of the machine and data store information. The machine includes a check acceptor that is operative to receive checks from authorized machine users. The check acceptor is operable to continuously move a received check along its transport path while simultaneously rotationally orienting the check into alignment with the transport path. A check determined not to have at least one property of an acceptable check is returned to the machine user. Acceptable checks are processed and stored in the machine.
