Abstract: The present invention discloses a point converting system, a point converting method, and an apparatus applied to the same. That is, in relation to a point conversion among point companies providing respective point services, a point conversion ratio is determined based on points, which are converted, accumulated, and updated for the respective point companies, and the point conversion is performed according to the determined point conversion ratio, thereby avoiding an imbalance phenomenon in which a majority of points are unevenly converted for specific point companies.

Abstract: An extended Pulse-Interval Encoding (PIE) modulating method in a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) system, wherein the method modulates 2-bit transmitted data and comprises: adjusting a length of a symbol according to a value of the first bit of the transmitted data; and adjusting a length of an energy transfer waiting section according to a value of the second bit of the transmitted data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated teller machine having an EPP guard cave formed therein. More particularly, the present invention relates to an automated teller machine having an EPP guard cave formed therein, in which the EPP guard cave is recessively formed on the front surface of the automated teller machine toward the inside thereof and an encrypting pin pad (EPP) is installed inside the EPP guard cave formed as such, so that a user may conveniently use the automated teller machine without anxiety by effectively preventing the procedure of inputting personal information by the user from being exposed to surroundings or other people through a concaved structure without a separate structure such as an EPP guard plate since the user may put a hand into the EPP guard cave and input the personal information through the EPP when the user inputs the personal information through the EPP for a banking transaction.
