  • Patent number: 10383197
    Abstract: A wireless device for connection to a network is disclosed. The wireless device includes an antenna for establishing a wireless connection, one or more processors, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores data comprising a sequence of characters that uniquely names a particular type of network that the antenna establishes communication with and program code. When executed by the one or more processors, the program code causes the system to initially set the one or more processors into a default mode. In response to connecting the wireless device to mains power, the program code causes the system to receive network information through the wireless connection.

  • Patent number: 10360541
    Abstract: A banking system that utilizes metrics in acquiring and processing event data related to financial transaction activity at a plurality of automated banking machines. Automated banking machine include sensors able to detect event data during a transaction. The event data can include transaction data related to the type of transaction, time analysis data related to duration of the transaction, and operational data related to machine components used in carrying out the transaction. The event data for automated banking machines can be obtained, analyzed, and stored. Statistical averages associated with the banking system machines can be determined in real time. The averages allow a respective machine to be compared to other machines with respect to operational efficiency. An alert can be issued concerning a statistical anomaly regarding the respective machine.

  • Patent number: 9439068
    Abstract: A peripheral device for establishing a network connection with a gateway is disclosed, and includes a request module and a configuration logic. The request module sends a request for identification and receives an authenticator responsive to sending the request for identification. The authenticator includes data indicative of predefined settings of the gateway. The configuration logic is in data communication with a plurality of configurations stored within a memory of the peripheral device. In response to receiving the predefined settings from the request module, the configuration logic selects a specific configuration from the plurality of configurations, where the specific configuration defines a set of attributes that correspond to the predefined settings of the gateway. The configuration logic also activates the specific configuration once the specific configuration has been selected.
