Abstract: A near-field communication (NFC) system for selective visual display includes a computing system, a network connection for operatively connecting devices to the computing system, a first proximity sensing terminal sending an embedded-data signal to the computing system via the network connection upon sensing a registration device by near-field communication, the signal conveying identifying data, and a primary agent device in wireless communication with the computing system via the network connection. The computing system receives the embedded-data signal, selects a stored user-entity profile associated with the identifying data, identifies a record of a timed process associated with the profile, and sends a transmittal having an indication of the timed process to the primary agent device. The primary agent device visually displays content representing the user-specific data and content representing the timed process.

Abstract: A method and terminal are provided for maintaining media and operational information for devices connected to a self service terminal. Self service terminals such as automatic teller machines (ATM) support multiple applications that use the devices attached to the ATM. During the ATM reconciliation process, operation device information is needed for each device and for application. The application specific device information is gathered by software extensions to the XFS components which operate the devices of the ATM.
