Publication number: 20120118697Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for providing interaction with a terminal. In overview, a validator for a terminal (such as a gaming machine or the like) includes a central processing unit, and a memory module coupled to the central processing unit, the memory module configured for maintaining software instructions that are executable via the central processing unit, and for maintaining diagnostic information concerning the validator. A primary communications port coupled to the central processing unit allows interaction between the validator and the terminal. A secondary communications port for allows communications between the validator and a handheld remote device, such that diagnostic information regarding the validator is able to be displayed via the handheld remote device. The handheld device executes corresponding software instructions to facilitate interaction with the validator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2011Publication date: May 17, 2012Applicant: GLOBAL PAYMENT TECHNOLOGIES AUSTRALIAInventors: Andre Soussa, Geoffrey Engel

Patent number: 7584890Abstract: An embodiment of the invention may include an apparatus. The apparatus may include a channel configured to accommodate a note, a photodetector array preferably arranged substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the note through the channel, a transporter configured to transport the note through the channel, at least one illuminator configured to illuminate a width of the channel, and a lens associated with the photodetector array. The lens and the at least one illuminator may be arranged to provide optical data collected from the width of the channel to the photodetector array. The photodetector array may include a plurality of photodetectors.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Global Payment Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Mazowiesky, Harold Charych, Mirek Blaszczec

Patent number: 6104036Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting watermark and security thread in a currency note. Optical sensing circuits positioned from the surface of the currency note rely upon the transmissive and reflective characteristics of the security features and the note itself to determine the authenticity of the note and the security feature. The apparatus and methods determine a difference signal between the transmissive and reflective light signals and compare the difference signal to a series of known difference signals.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1998Date of Patent: August 15, 2000Assignee: Global Payment TechnologiesInventor: Thomas W. Mazowiesky

Patent number: RE39666Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed systematically to extract data from operating machines of the type used in gaming establishments. Various data is required by management to maximize the operation and the profit potential of a given machine is compiled in the machine itself. The compiled data is serially transferred to a memory device via a one-wire protocol. The memory device writes the data according a defined software routine. The contents of the memory device can be transferred to a computer for subsequent manipulation and display.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2003Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Global Payment Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Walsh, Miroslaw Blasczec, Salvatore Soriano, William Wood
