  • Patent number: 7175076
    Abstract: An automated banking machine is operative to enable users to operate the machine to carry out transactions such as the dispensing of cash. The exemplary machine provides audible instructions which are output through external loudspeakers, a headphone, or a handset. Rotation of a rotatable knob (372, 382) or other movable item causes the output of user selectable characters, transaction types and/or amounts corresponding to each respective position. The user selects the audible output produced in the current position of the knob for receipt by the machine as a transaction input by pressing on the knob. Characters and other selectable inputs corresponding to knob positions can be varied by the computer in the machine to reduce the risk of a criminal intercepting the user's inputs to the machine.

  • Patent number: 7077312
    Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) is operatively controlled from a front consumer user station (12) and a rear maintenance user station (14). The machine is operative to output a consumer user interface (28) through a front display device (16, 80). The consumer user interface includes interactive options for performing transactions with the machine including dispensing cash with a cash dispenser (32). The machine is further operative to output a maintenance user interface (30), through a rear display device (18, 82). The maintenance user interface includes options for configuring, troubleshooting, servicing and maintaining the machine. The operating system of the machine is operative to generate a desktop environment (84) that spans both the front display device and rear display device, such that a first portion (86) of the desktop is output by the first display device and a second portion (88) of the desktop is output by the second display device.

  • Patent number: 6520410
    Abstract: A method of developing platform specific applications for automated banking machines is provided. The method comprises generating source code for an automated banking machine application. A portable medium is placed in operative connection with a computer. The computer is configured to execute a compiler from the portable medium which corresponds to a first one of a plurality of targeted automated banking machine platforms. The source code for the first one of the plurality of targeted automated banking machine platforms is compiled with the compiler being executed from the portable medium responsive to a standard make instruction set. The standard make instruction set is adapted for use with each of the plurality of targeted automated banking machine platforms. The standard make instruction set is operative to direct the compiler to build an application component that includes code which corresponds to the first targeted automated banking machine platform.
