  • Publication number: 20240028687
    Abstract: Physical authentication devices and systems using such devices may be provided. A device may include a first substrate having first and second surfaces, and an NFC circuit coupled to the first substrate. The NFC circuit may be configured to transmit first information. The device may include a transparent second substrate coupled to the first surface. The device may include a plurality of rare earth phosphors positioned in or on the substrate, such as within the transparent second substrate or between the first substrate and the transparent second substrate. Each rare earth phosphor may be configured to emit at least one wavelength of light when irradiated with an irradiating wavelength of light, the irradiating wavelength being different from the at least one wavelength of light. In some embodiments, a magnet may be coupled to the second surface. In some embodiments, the transparent second substrate may be adhered to the first substrate.

  • Patent number: 7780074
    Abstract: An automated banking machine system and method includes ATMs which can accept checks and dispense cash. Cash can be dispensed to an authorized user in exchange for one or more checks received from the user during a transaction session. Following closure of the transaction session, the ATM analyzes image and magnetic data from a received check to determine an analyzed check value. The ATM then determines whether the analyzed check value corresponds to a check value inputted by the user. With corresponding values, the user account is credited with the check value. Without corresponding values, the user account balance is adjusted accordingly and the user is notified of the discrepancy.
