Patent number: 8413889Abstract: A system includes a plurality of machines that operate responsive to data bearing records such as user cards (74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86). The machines operate to carry out financial transactions with associated host computers (90, 94, 100, 104) responsive to determinations that card data corresponds to computer stored data corresponding to authorized users or accounts. Marketing presentations are stored on and output from the machines responsive to messages exchanged with a market message server (110) which is connected to the machines. Systems can also distribute and activate instructions corresponding to states and screens logic on the machines to determine operation.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Balaji Devarasetty, Alok Prakash, Lee Kravitz, Mark Reinart, Edith Knowles, Theresa Butler, Michael O'Boyle, James Meek, Ken Koran, Nick Billett, William Hemlick, Ron DiFrango, Changning Jiang, Donald P.
