Patent number: 10068150Abstract: The invention relates to a method for OCR detection of valuable documents in a cash dispenser in the case of which an image of the valuable document is detected by means of a digital video or matrix camera. A Hough transformation is used to calculate edge lines of the valuable document and a rotation angle is calculated therefrom such that the edges of the valuable document are aligned with the image edges. The detected image is homogenized to compensate an inhomogeneous image background. This is followed by OCR detection of alphanumeric information on the valuable document.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2017Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Inventors: Alexander Drichel, Steffen Priesterjahn

Patent number: 9870700Abstract: A method is provided for avoiding false alarms on a self-service terminal, in particular an ATM. The ATM has at least one camera and at least one alarm unit that generates alarms when the ATM is attacked, and a network connection to a network to pass on the alarms to a customer. The method includes generating an alarm by the alarm unit and storing alarm images from the camera from which the alarm was derived; before passing on the alarm to an operator via a digital network, comparing the digital alarm images with templates stored on the ATM and that characterize a false alarm, and if a correlation with the templates is established, the alarm is ignored; otherwise the alarm is passed on to the consumer by the network.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2015Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Steffen Priesterjahn, Alexander Drichel

Patent number: 9734673Abstract: An automated teller machine (ATM) is proposed having a control panel (CP) that has elements (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) arranged therein that are provided for users of the automated teller machine (ATM) and that has a camera (CAM) to detect manipulation attempts on the automated teller machine (ATM). The camera (CAM) is mounted in a housing section of the automated teller machine (ATM) surrounding the control panel (CP) and aligned in such a way that the camera (CAM) captures images of at least two of the elements (1, 2) arranged in the control panel (CP). In particular, the camera (CAM) captures image of the money dispensing compartment (1) and the keypad (2) in order to unequivocally detect any overlays installed there and similar manipulation or skimming attempts.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Steffen Priesterjahn, Dinh-Khoi Le, Michael Nolte, Alexander Drichel

Patent number: 9159203Abstract: An automated teller machine is proposed having at least one camera to detect manipulation attempts that captures images of one or more elements arranged in the control panel, such as a keypad, cash-dispensing drawer, card entry slot and generates image data from a plurality of individual image recordings (F1, F2, F3). The at least one camera is connected to a data processing unit that preprocesses the image data generated (individual image data) into a resulting image (R). The preprocessed image data of the resulting image (R) can be computed, for example, by exposure blending from the individual images (F1, F2, F3) and represent a very good data base for data evaluation to detect manipulation.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Steffen Priesterjahn, Dinh-Khoi Le, Michael Nolte, Alexander Drichel
