  • Publication number: 20240104533
    Abstract: A screen-less automated teller machine (ATM) may be configured to interact with a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device. As the ATM is screen-less, banking-related information may be viewed and/or input at the ATM using the mobile device. An application on the mobile device may be used to access and interact with the ATM using the mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20240095698
    Abstract: Methods for banking at an automated teller machine (ATM) using a mobile device. The ATM may automatically detect the presence of the mobile device in a vicinity of the ATM and initiate contact with the mobile device, or a mobile device may initiate contact with the ATM. After verifying user permission to access the ATM, the mobile device may be enabled to provide user access to one or more of the banking services available at the ATM using the mobile device and to view banking-related information on the mobile device. A mobile application on the mobile device may be used to access the ATM using the mobile device. While a mobile device is accessing the ATM, a screen on the ATM may become inactive for banking services and the option to select banking services directly at the ATM may be disabled.

In addition, the apparatus has a base cover that is positioned over the base and covers the compartment such that weight of a user positioned on the base cover applied in a direction causes the base to tilt with respect to the surface in the direction. The apparatus has a rod member having a first end, a second end, and a middle portion. The first end is positioned through an opening in the base cover into the adhesive material in the compartment such that the rod member is immovable with respect to the base. The second end is configured to receive a microphone apparatus. The middle portion is configured to connect the first end and the second end.
