Patent number: 7584885Abstract: An ATM with a currency dispenser includes both a magnetic stripe card reader and an RFID tag reader. A user card includes both magnetic stripe data and RFID tag data. The ATM can read both the magnetic stripe data and the RFID tag data from the user card. The magnetic stripe data and the RFID tag data have a predetermined relationship. The ATM can use the RFID tag data in conjunction with the magnetic stripe data to verify the card user as an authorized card user.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2006Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventor: Mark Douglass

Patent number: 7284692Abstract: An ATM with a currency dispenser includes a contactless card reader. The contactless card reader can read data from an RFID tag of a customer's ATM card. The contactless card reader, such as an RFID tag reader, can be located so as to provide additional space for another transaction component. The contactless card reader can also be used in conjunction with a magnetic stripe card reader. The ATM includes a housing for the RFID tag reader that is adapted to prevent interception of radio signals. The ATM is able to prevent dispensing of currency in situations where unauthorized detection of signals is sensed.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: DieBold Self-Service Systems, division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventor: Mark Douglass

Patent number: 6997375Abstract: An automated transaction system includes an automated transaction machine (10) for carrying out banking transactions. The machine includes a plurality of customer stations (16, 18, 20) at which customers may conduct transactions. Each of the transactions requested by customers is carried out using a set of transaction function devices (34) positioned within or adjacent to the machine housing. The robotic item handling device (42) is included among the transaction function devices and enables moving items between the customer stations and the transaction function devices included in the machine. The machine is enabled to carry out transactions for multiple users simultaneously. The machine is also readily configured to add and delete transaction function devices, thereby more readily changing the types of transactions which may be conducted.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2002Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Patrick C.
