Patent number: 7844512Abstract: A server is in communication with an ATM host and at least one ATM. Sever software is adapted to operate in the server to cause messages to be converted to enable ATM and ATM host communication. The server is operative to receive messages from the ATM host and/or the ATM, cause the received messages to be converted for handling by the other one of the ATM host and the ATM, and then cause the converted messages to be sent to the other one of the ATM host and the ATM. In one embodiment, the server software is operative to cause HTTP messages to be converted to non-HTTP messages, and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2005Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Bruce G.
