  • Publication number: 20220058906
    Abstract: Contactless dispensing of objects from object-dispensing machines. A digital token is wirelessly communicated to the machine via short-range wireless communication, such as Near Field Communication (NFC) or the like. In response, a push notification is communicated to the user's wireless device, which includes an activatable link for launching a mobile application. In response to launching the mobile application and authenticating the user, the mobile application provides object-dispensing machine-like user interfaces that are configured to allow the user to input object requesting parameters and submit a request for objects to be dispensed from the object-dispensing machine. The request is communicated to the object-dispensing machines (or corresponding backend processing systems) and, once the request is verified, the object-dispensing machine dispenses the requested objects.

  • Publication number: 20200005261
    Abstract: A transaction access point computing system may include an automated teller machine (ATM) or other transaction access point and an authentication server, a beacon device and, in some cases, a mobile device running a mobile application. The devices of the frictionless ATM computing system facilitates simplified user interaction with the ATM. As a user approaches the ATM, the mobile device may receive the beacon signal including a command to awaken the mobile application. After receipt, the mobile application may communicate an identifier to the authentication server, and the ATM may capture an image of the user. At the application server, the user image may be authenticated and confirmation returned to the ATM along with a unified user identifier. After confirmation of the additional identifier, the ATM may dispense a specified amount of currency.

  • Publication number: 20200005262
    Abstract: A frictionless automated teller machine (ATM) computing system may include an ATM, an authentication server, and a mobile device running a mobile application. The devices of the frictionless ATM computing system facilitates simplified user interaction with the ATM. As a user approaches the ATM, the user may log into the mobile device, which triggers the mobile device to send a geographic location to the authentication server. The authentication server then notifies the mobile device of a close ATM. In response, the mobile device may display a user interface screen to initiate a transaction. The ATM may be woken by the authorization server or a user input to complete the transaction causing the ATM to dispense the requested amount of currency.
