Patent number: 11200553Abstract: A system provides for a self-checkout terminal with various components. A receiver receives shopping data including prices of items that a customer has physically acquired or placed in a cart. A payment logic receives credential information associated with a monetary account for paying for the items. A message logic creates checkout data that includes data representing the collection of purchase items. A transmitter transmits the credential information to an account network for authentication and the receiver receives a response indicating if the monetary account is valid. The payment logic/self-checkout terminal indicates to the customer that a payment using the monetary account for the purchase items is authorized or not. When authorized, an authorization is received at the self-checkout terminal before the customer arrives at the terminal and the self-checkout terminal causes a payment transaction to be executed to provide for self-checkout using the monetary account without assistance by another person.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf, IncoporatedInventors: Devon Watson, David William Kuchenski, Alex Klein, Matt Zaugg, Brian Block, Richard Harris, Robert Konecny

Patent number: 10963851Abstract: A cash-dispensing banking terminal has a housing, a transmitter, a receiver, a cash dispenser, and a processor to control the cash dispenser. A pre-created transaction request was earlier created with a mobile device before a banking customer and the mobile device arrive at the cash-dispensing banking terminal. A remote computing device authenticates and authorizes the transaction request before the customer and the mobile device arrive at the cash-dispensing banking terminal. When the transaction is authenticated and authorized, a remote computer generates an executable transaction request and generates and sends a transaction identifier associated with an executable transaction request to the mobile device. The receiver receives the transaction identifier from the mobile device, when the customer is at the banking terminal. The remote computer and/or other devices verify the transaction identifier is valid. The banking terminal performs the transaction request while the customer is at the banking terminal.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf, IncorporatedInventors: Brian Block, Sergio de Olveira, Alex Klein, Matt Zaugg, Scott Dailey, Eric Maibach, Stefan Bradstreet, Scott Witzke, Caleb Widmer, Shawn Reynolds
