Publication number: 20240211912Abstract: A first host device housing is provided with a host device and first peripherals. The host device includes a motherboard and an upper core Input/Output (I/O) control board connected to the motherboard within the host device housing. A non-host device housing includes second peripherals and a lower core I/O control board. The host device housing is removably attachable to the non-host device housing to form a modular terminal. The second peripherals are interfaced to the host device through a cable that connects the lower core I/O control board to the upper core I/O control board. Combinations of the host device housing and a selected non-host device housing form different configurations of a modular terminal. Features available to a given configuration of the modular terminal are driven by the first peripherals and the second peripherals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: June 27, 2024Applicant: NCR Voyix CorporationInventors: Mark Christopher Johnson, Ajit Chetty Cotha, Terry Jendon, Carl Richard Snezek, JR.

Publication number: 20230136763Abstract: A terminal indicator device is provided as a peripheral of a self-service terminal (SST). The indicator device includes two separate displays back-to-back or a single contiguous display having a display surface area of greater than 180 degrees and up to 360 degrees. The indicator device includes a host port for connecting to the SST and one or more status light ports for connecting to one or more status lights. The indicator device is affixed to an apparatus situated above the SST. The apparatus includes the one or more status light strips. The SST controls colors and/or effects of the status light strips and media played on the two displays or the contiguous display. In an embodiment, a server controls the status light strips and the media played on the two or more displays or the contiguous display via the SST or via a wireless transceiver of the indicator device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Rafael Yepez, Terry Jendon, Nardeen Saleb

Patent number: 10019268Abstract: A vehicle mount computer having a configurable behavior controlled by a vehicle's ignition switch. A user can configure the computer to perform an action, switch modes, or execute a software application in response to the ignition switch being pressed or the position of the ignition switch being adjusted. For example, the computer can be configured to switch to a standby mode or hibernation mode, shutdown, prompt the user to select an action, or do nothing in response to the ignition switch being placed in an off position. The ignition switch can be electrically coupled to an input of the computer so that the computer's operating system or another application can monitor the status of the ignition switch. The operating system or application can cause the computer to perform the configured response upon detecting a change in the ignition switch's position or an actuation of the ignition switch.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: EMS Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brett A.
