Patent number: 8336766Abstract: An automated banking machine is part of a banking system that operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The machine includes a card reader that operates to read data from user cards corresponding to financial accounts. A card account's status is listed in a data store as either blocked or unblocked for use in approving transactions on the account. A requested transaction on an account cannot be carried out by the machine unless the account has an unblocked status. Read card data is sent from the machine to a remote card security computer which can determine the card account status from the data store. If the account is unblocked, then the machine can continue with the requested transaction and seek transaction approval from a transaction host computer associated with the machine.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2011Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems Division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Willis Miller, Matthew R. Zaugg, James Block, H. Thomas Graef, Natarajan Ramachandran, Jeffery M. Enright, Mark A. Douglass, Michael Scanlon, Dale H. Blackson, Caren R. Blackson, legal representative

Publication number: 20120223133Abstract: A banking system operates to cause financial transfers responsive to card data read from data bearing records by a card reader. The system includes at least one automated banking machine comprising a cash dispenser. The system is operative during a cash dispense transaction request to receive through an automated banking machine, user input of data corresponding to a mobile phone number. The system is operative to generate a security code for the requested cash dispense transaction. The system uses the phone number to send the generated security code to the mobile phone. The cash dispense transaction is allowed to proceed only if the system receives machine user input of the sent security code within a predetermined amount of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2012Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Willis Miller, Matthew R.

Patent number: 8245913Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from data bearing records. The data corresponds to user card data received from a cell phone. The machine generates and displays a random number correlated with a time period. The machine user inputs the displayed random number into their phone. A software application in the phone encrypts the selected card data along with the inputted random number. The phone then displays a bar code image containing the encrypted data. The machine includes a bar code reader to read the displayed image. The machine can decrypt the random number and the card data from the read image. The random number is used to verify the current banking transaction session. The process replaces physical insertion of a card yet allows secure input of card data.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Natarajan Ramachandran, Mark A.

Patent number: 8191767Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from data bearing records. The data corresponds to card data which corresponds to at least one financial account. The record data is read by a reader and compared to stored data to authorize use of the machine. A financial transfer corresponding to the account may be carried out once use is authorized based on correspondence of the record data. A printed record of transactions is printed by the machine. Record data may alternatively be received by a reading device of the machine from a mobile device of a user, such as a cell phone.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2010Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Natarajan Ramachandran, Mark A.

Patent number: 8146803Abstract: An automated banking machine can receive user card data from a cell phone. The phone stores the card data of several selectable cards, including electronic account number data. The machine generates and displays a random number correlated with a time period. A machine user manually inputs the displayed random number into their phone. A software application in the phone encrypts the selected card data along with the inputted random number data. The phone displays a bar code image containing the encrypted data. The banking machine includes a bar code reader which can read the displayed image. The machine causes the read data to be decrypted. The random number is used to verify the current transaction session. Thereafter, the user may provide other inputs, including PIN input. The process replaces physical insertion of a card yet allows secure input of the card data. Possible data interception from activities requiring card insertion are also reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Natarajan Ramachandran, Mark A.
