  • Patent number: 11657348
    Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store prioritization thresholds. The prioritization thresholds include one or both of threshold values and threshold ranges associated with an age and an amount of exceptions. A processor of the device receives exceptions associated with operation of at least a portion of the plurality of ATMs. For each exception of the plurality of exceptions, the processor determines, based on a comparison of an age property of the exception to an age threshold of the prioritization thresholds, an age score for the exception. The processor determines, based on a comparison of an amount property of the exception to an amount threshold of the prioritization thresholds, an amount score for the exception. Based on the age and amount scores, a prioritization score is determined for the exception which corresponds to a measure of an order in which action should be taken to resolve the exception.

  • Patent number: 11257334
    Abstract: A system includes a template database storing, for each of a plurality of predefined root causes, a corresponding correspondence template and response form template. Each root cause corresponds to a cause of an exception associated with an ATM. An automatic reconciliation tool determines a exception has occurred associated with a ATM. A set of exception parameters are determined associated with the exception. A party is determined at the service provider with which to correspond in or order to resolve the exception. A root cause of the exception is determined. A correspondence template and a response form template are identified for the determined root cause and used to generate correspondence which includes a description of the exception, instructions for actions to take, and a link configured to provide access to a response form. The response form includes fields for providing a response parameter.

  • Publication number: 20210398094
    Abstract: A device memory stores contact information for associates tasked with resolving the exceptions and a set of correspondence templates for requesting predefined types of information from one or more service providers. A processor determines a first exception has occurred associated with a first ATM. An exception profile is determined for the first exception. The exception profile is provided for viewing in a user interface accessible to the first associate. The processor receives, from the user interface, a request for information associated with resolving the first exception. Using the correspondence templates, correspondence is generated which includes the request for the information associated with resolving the first exception. The correspondence is addressed to the first service provider. The correspondence is provided to the first service provider.
