Patent number: 8300786Abstract: A method and system for transmitting a facsimile message uses a public-switched telecommunications network, the public-switched telecommunication network having a messaging platform capable of storing a plurality of facsimile messages. The initiation of a telephone call to a destination is detected, the content of the call including the facsimile message. If the destination is available at a first time to receive a telephone call, the facsimile message is transmitted. The facsimile message may be stored on the messaging platform only if the destination is unavailable at the first time, or every time a telephone call is initiated by the originating party. The method also provides for situations where a telephone call is redirected, where an inter-NPA seven digit dialing case has occurred, and where “busy” or “no_answer” triggers are implemented. If the facsimile message was stored, the facsimile message is transmitted at a second time if the destination is available.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2007Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey James Meek, William Harvey Meek, Gordon Lynn Blumenschein

Patent number: 8231050Abstract: An automated transaction machine can operate to carry out a financial transaction for a machine user responsive to communication with a financial transaction host computer. The machine includes a card reader that can read a user identifier from a magnetic stripe of a user card. The machine sends the read user identifier to a remote marketing computer. The marketing computer uses a user identifier to determine the next marketing presentation to be presented to a machine user corresponding to the user identifier. Responsive to a message received from the marketing computer, the machine operates to display the determined next marketing presentation to the machine user. A marketing campaign includes a sequence of presentations to be output in a predetermined order to a machine user. Machine communication with the remote marketing message computer is independent of machine communication with the transaction host computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2011Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventor: James Meek

Patent number: 8132716Abstract: A banking transaction system includes customer stations and a server provider station. The customer stations include automated banking machines. Each machine includes a cash dispenser and a card reader that reads financial account indicia from user cards. A service provider at the service provider station is able to communicate with a customer at a machine to help carry out a banking transaction. The customer may also carry out a banking transaction without involvement of the service provider. A pneumatic tube transport can move items between a service provider and customers. Computers operating facial image transformation software and vocal sound transformation software allow computer-generated outputs at customer stations of facial images and vocal sounds that customers may find more acceptable than those produced by the actual service provider.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Mark D.

Patent number: 8061593Abstract: An automated transaction machine includes a card reader that can read a unique magnetic characteristic of a magnetic stripe on a card. The machine can then send data reflective of the read characteristic to a remote card validator. The card validator can compare the received data to referenced magnetic characteristic data corresponding to cards authorized for use with the machine. The machine can also communicate with a transaction host computer to carry out a financial transaction. As a result of the magnetic data comparison, an invalid card can be discovered and a fraudulent transaction prevented. Communication between the card validator and machine is independent from communication between the transaction host and machine.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: H.
