  • Patent number: 10863834
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for completing a transaction using a shelf and interactive tablet. The systems and methods may include receiving, at an interactive tablet comprising a processor, a captured image associated with an item; identifying, by the interactive tablet, a known image of the item based on the captured image of the item; and retrieving, by the interactive tablet, product information associated with the item based on the known image of the item.

  • Patent number: 10559170
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein include a pocket to receive tendered notes and to dispense notes from a terminal, such as an automated teller machine. The pocket may include a shutter, a lifter opposite the shutter, a pusher plate between and perpendicular to the shutter and lifter, and a ceiling clamp. The pocket also includes a controller causes the terminal to perform actions when dispensing notes including moving the ceiling clamp to an open position and providing an output triggering dispensing of notes into the pocket. The actions further include moving the ceiling clamp to a closed position, moving the pusher plate to bias notes present within the pocket against the ceiling clamp and raising the lifter from a lower position to an upper position thereby lifting notes present between the pusher plate and the ceiling clamp. The shutter is then opened to expose and dispense the notes.

  • Patent number: 10540857
    Abstract: To overcome the difficulties caused by variation in user interfaces from self-service terminal to self-service terminal, a self-service terminal can use a standardized interface device that is compatible with other terminal types and other regions. The interface device can be positioned on a housing and electrically coupled to the housing via a secure physical connection. Media readers can be integrated into the interface device. An encrypted touch-sensitive display can be integrated into the interface device and positioned on a front of the interface device. The touch-sensitive display can show prompts to initiate a transaction at the self-service terminal. The prompts can provide instructions for causing physical media to be read at any one of the media readers to produce identification data. A processor positioned in the housing can receive the identification data from the interface device via the secure physical connection.

  • Publication number: 20190266854
    Abstract: An automated teller machine (ATM) can be mounted in a wall. A sleeve can attach to the wall to prevent access between a consumer side of the wall and a service side of the wall. A fascia can be repositioned between an engaged position and a retracted position. The fascia can be accessed from the consumer side of the wall through an aperture in the sleeve when the fascia is in the engaged position. The fascia can be positioned on the service side of the wall when the fascia is in the retracted position. A shutter can automatically cover the aperture in the sleeve when the fascia moves to the retracted position. The shutter can provide added security when a service person is servicing the ATM. Because the service person can access the fascia, the ATM can advantageously omit redundant display or input components accessible only to the service side.
