  • Patent number: 9576278
    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: 9286770
    Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records. The automated banking machine operates to read card data from user cards and to cause a determination to be made that the read data corresponds to at least one of a user and account that is authorized to operate the machine. The machine operates responsive at least in part to the determination to perform a transaction function and to cause the account to be assessed an amount corresponding to the transaction function. The machine includes a housing including a currency holding area, and operates to generate signals responsive to unauthorized access to the currency holding area.

  • Patent number: 9256864
    Abstract: A banking system controlled by data bearing records utilizes metrics in acquiring and processing event data related to financial transaction activity at a plurality of automated banking machines. The system uses machine sensors to detect event data during a transaction. For each machine, the system can obtain, analyze, and store event data. The event data can include transaction data related to transaction type, time analysis data related to transaction duration, and operational data related to machine components used during the transaction. Statistical machine averages can be determined and compared by the system in real time. The system can produce statistics related to component performance, such as check reader performance in reading check data from generated check images. The system can also be used to detect and then alleviate potential problems, such as by causing a machine to perform an early sending of check images.

  • Patent number: 8958906
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a router that is configured to pass a pneumatic carrier therethrough and comprises a solid continuous curved tube, a tube rotational support, and a drive. The tube includes a first open end and a second open end opposed of the first open end. The tube rotational support is in operative supporting connection with the tube and enables the tube to rotate about an axis. The first open end is generally aligned with the first opening. In a first rotational position of the tube, the second open end is generally aligned with a first of the plurality of second openings. In a second rotational position of the tube, the second open end is generally aligned with a second of the plurality of second openings. The drive is operative to cause the tube to move between the first and second rotational positions.
