Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch screen having an integrated EPP and an input information processing method for an automated teller machine using the same, and more particularly, to a touch screen provided as user interface in an automated teller machine, wherein the touch screen and an EPP module are formed integrally such that a screen displayed on the touch screen is configured to be controlled by a security CPU of the EPP module integrated with the touch screen when a customer using the automated teller machine inputs information required to be encrypted, such as a password required for a financial transaction, through the touch screen of the automated teller machine during the financial transaction, thereby initially preventing the leakage of important financial information through the illegal hacking of the CPU of the automated teller machine and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a remote update method for a firmware, in which the encoded firmware is decoded and updated using the XOR table, checksum, and signature stored in the header of the remotely updated new firmware in the update of an automated teller machine, thereby updating the firmware in a convenient manner without moving the automated teller machine to the outside, thus improving the efficiency of managing the machine and preventing illegal operations of the automated teller machine performed by external hacking using a network.

Abstract: A help item is received from a first user by using a social help network. The help item indicates a help service to be performed for the first user by a second user of the social help network, or by the first user for the second user. Factor(s) of the first user and other users of the social network are determined, such as a geographical location of each user. Factor(s) of the help item are determined, such as a geographical location where the help service is to be performed. Based on the factor(s) of each of the first user, the help item, and the other users, a search for potential second users is performed. Each potential second user can perform the help service for the first user, or each potential second user can have the help service performed by the first user.
