Patent number: 8046300Abstract: An automated banking machine (12) is operative to conduct transactions in response to HTML documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system (14) through an intranet (16), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 96) in a wide area network (18). The banking machine includes a computer (34) having an HTML document handling portion (76, 80, 82). The HTML document handling portion is operative to communicate through a proxy server (88), with a home HTTP server (90) in the intranet or the foreign servers in the wide area network. The computer further includes a device application portion (84) which interfaces with the HTML document handling portion and dispatches messages to operate devices (36) in the automated banking machine. The devices include a sheet dispenser mechanism (42) which dispenses currency as well as other transaction devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Jay Paul Drummond, Dale Blackson, Bob A.

Patent number: 7844512Abstract: A server is in communication with an ATM host and at least one ATM. Sever software is adapted to operate in the server to cause messages to be converted to enable ATM and ATM host communication. The server is operative to receive messages from the ATM host and/or the ATM, cause the received messages to be converted for handling by the other one of the ATM host and the ATM, and then cause the converted messages to be sent to the other one of the ATM host and the ATM. In one embodiment, the server software is operative to cause HTTP messages to be converted to non-HTTP messages, and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2005Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Bruce G. Richards, Jay Paul Drummond, Dale Blackson, Bob A. Cichon, Joseph C. Ess, Mark A. Moales, David W. Weis, Mark D. Smith, James Church

Patent number: 7737950Abstract: A cash dispensing automated banking machine that operates in response to data read from user cards includes a cash dispenser, keypad, and a card reader. The card reader is operative to read data bearing records such as user cards that include financial account information. At least one computer in the automated banking machine is responsive to a keymap specified by at least one markup language document and is responsive to configuration data accessed by the automated banking machine, to selectively enable a subset of keys of the keypad to be capable of providing inputs operative to cause the automated banking machine to carry out a portion of a banking transaction.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2008Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Jay Paul Drummond, Dale Blackson, Bob Cichon, Joseph C. Ess, Mark A. Moales, David W. Weis, Mark D. Smith, James Church

Patent number: 7699219Abstract: An automated banking machine (12) is operative to conduct transactions in response to mark up language documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system (14) through an intranet (16), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 96) in a wide area network (18). The banking machine includes a computer (34) having mark up language document handling software that includes a browser (76). The machine can receive instructions in mark up language documents accessed at an HTTP address to cause operation of transaction function devices, such as a currency dispenser (42).Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Jay Paul Drummond, Dale Blackson, Bob A.

Patent number: 7580896Abstract: An automated banking machine includes at least one browser and transaction function devices, including a currency dispenser device. The machine can be operated in a modified mode in response to transactions that are no longer available. A browser can be used to communicate with one or more servers. Data indicative of the availability of the certain transaction function *devices can be communicated to a server. One or more mark up language documents containing data and/or instructions that correspond to the operational availability to the machine of the transaction function devices can be accessed. The machine can then be operated responsive to the data and/or instructions. For example, the machine may change its display output to a customer to reflect its current transaction function device status. Customer transaction options can be readily changed via machine/server communication on a machine by machine basis.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2008Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Jay Paul Drummond, Dale Blackson, Bob A.
