Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for reading a magnetic stripe and/or chip card comprising a card reader (16) for reading out data from the magnetic stripe and/or chip card, said card reader having a transport path (14) along which the magnetic stripe and/or chip card is moved when it is inserted into the card reader (16) and/or when it is removed from the card reader (16) and/or is received during the readout of data. Further, the device (10) has an image capturing unit (20) for capturing images of the card reader (16), the card reader (16) being designed such that by means of images captured by the image capturing unit (16) it can be detected whether a skimming module is inserted into the transport path (14) of the card reader (16).

Abstract: The invention relates to a display and operator control apparatus having a touch-sensitive screen and a signal processing unit with the following features: an interface unit for receiving display data and for sending position data captured on the touch-sensitive screen, means for processing display data from a first display object which represents a screen keypad with screen keypad elements, means for assigning the position data captured to a keypad element on the screen keypad, where means are provided for converting the position data into keypad code data and vice versa, such that the interface unit can be used in a screen keypad mode, in which the screen keypad can be shown on the display unit, to send the keypad code data, and that the position data are sent in a non-keypad mode in which the screen keypad cannot be shown on the display unit.

Abstract: The invention describes a device (10) and a method for protecting a self-service terminal against fraudulent installation of spying-out apparatuses for spying-out information, which device and method are based on the detection of metallic components of the spying-out apparatus. The device (10) comprises a control unit (12) and a peripheral (24) which is connected to the control unit (12) via an interface (26, 28, 30). The sound card (24) has an output for an analog output signal, to which output a coil (52, 56) for generating a primary electromagnetic field can be connected, and an input for an analog detection signal, to which input a second coil (60, 64) for detecting a secondary electromagnetic field, which is influenced by the interaction of the primary electromagnetic field with the metallic components of the spying-out apparatus, can be connected.

Abstract: The invention describes a device for a self-service terminal which contains a card reading device, for preventing the possibility of data on a card which is to be read by the card reading device 10 being spied-out by means of a spying-out apparatus which is installed in the vicinity of the card reading device 10. The device comprises a protection apparatus 26 for generating a protective electromagnetic field which is suitable for impairing the functioning of the spying-out apparatus. The protection apparatus is controlled by a control unit 24 of the card reading device, which control unit also controls a card transportation apparatus 18 and/or a reading apparatus 20, 22 of the card reading device, such that the protective field is changed during reading of the card in the card reading device 10 such that it is ensured that reading of the card in the card reading device 10 is not impaired.
