  • Patent number: 12260716
    Abstract: Images captured for components of a device are monitored for changes by evaluating a first region of interest in the images. Periodically, a command is sent to the device to move one or more of the components to a known position or state. A certain component or set of components associated with being moved based on the command is evaluated in a second region of interest in the images to determine if the corresponding component or set of components is in the known position or state within the images. When the corresponding component or set of components is not identified from the images in the known position or state, a security alert is raised for the device and security operations are processed on the host device.

  • Patent number: 12236759
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods of automated teller machine (ATM) management. The method can include receiving, from an ATM, an operating log from an out-of-band management chip. The method can further include determining, from the operating log, that the ATM is in an out-of-service state. The method can further include transmitting instructions to the out-of-band management chip to capture a system image of the ATM. In response, the method can include receiving the system image of the ATM from the out-of-band management chip and diagnosing a fault in the ATM based on the system image. The fault in the ATM can be the fault which caused the ATM to be in the out-of-service state. Finally, the method can include transmitting instructions for one or more corrective actions to the out-of-band management chip. The corrective actions can remedy the fault in the ATM.

  • Patent number: 12230109
    Abstract: A valuable media sanitizing/cleansing cassette is provided for sanitizing/cleansing surfaces of valuable media dispensed to a consumer during a dispense transaction at a transaction terminal. Dispensed media is urged from one or more media cassettes within the terminal along a transport path. The transport path is altered to pass the media through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette where the top and bottom surfaces of the media are illuminated with Ultraviolet (UV) radiation to eradicate any bacteria or virus that may be adhered to the top or the bottom surfaces of the media. Once the media passes through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette, the now sanitized/cleansed media is urged along a remainder of the transport path and dispensed from a media interface of the terminal to the consumer. In an embodiment, media deposited at the terminal is also sanitized/cleansed by passing through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette before being stored in the appropriate media cassettes.
