Abstract: Methods and apparatus for advertisements from a processor over a network, such as the Internet to an automated service machine are provided. The automated service machine determines information identifying a user and requests, from the processor, an advertisement based upon the information identifying the user. The processor selects the advertisement based upon the information identifying the user and provides the selected advertisement to the automated service machine. The processor may retrieve information from an advertising database and a consumer profile database to select the advertisement. The automated service machine then presents the selected advertisement to the user.
