Various embodiments herein include at least one of devices, systems, methods, and software of communication and signaling devices. One device embodiment includes a visual signaling output, at least one radio transceiver, and a network interface device. This device further includes a processor and a memory device storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the device to perform data processing activities that may include receiving an identifier via the at least one radio transceiver, outputting a work in progress indicator from the visual signaling output, and transmitting the received identifier via the network interface device to a network service. These data processing activities further include receiving a payment success indicator via the network interface device indicating whether a payment was successfully processed with regard to the received identifier. The data processing activities may then output an indication of the received payment success indicator from the visual signaling output.

Communication and signaling devices and methods

Cloud-based methods and systems are presented for aggregating custom groupings of Self-Service Terminals (SSTs) and managing the SSTs through a network. Real-time information for the SSTs are gathered and interfaces are used to direct selective usage of particular SSTs within a grouping. The groupings optimized for reducing media replenishment and service of any particular SST within the grouping.

Self-service terminal (SST) network real-time cloud management

A Virtual Reality (VR) system and method are provided that facilitates diagnosing and solving problems associated with a terminal. A VR session is established and a VA room rendered for participants. Files describing and program instructions for interactively manipulating the terminal are loaded into the VR room. At least one component piece of the SST is manipulated based on direction provided by a VR input device operated by a participant during the VR session.

Virtual reality maintenance and repair

A terminal is provided. The terminal includes a horizontal touch-based operating surface, a first vertical support side car, and a second vertical support safe enclosure. The operating surface includes integrated transaction devices that perform transaction processing on the terminal. The operating surface can be dynamically switched between a self-service mode of operation, an assisted service mode of operation, and a teller-service mode of operation. Each mode of operation dynamically orients displayed information on the operating surface to a particular side or both sides of the operating surface and selectively activates and deactivates the integrated devices.

Configurable and modular transaction terminal

A Self-Service Terminal (SST) plinth is provided. The SST plinth includes one or more fastening mechanisms, a power supply, and one or more communication ports. The fastening mechanisms are configured to fasten an SST to the SST plinth. The SST is powered through the power supply of the plinth. Modules of the SST connect to some of the communication ports, and cabling connects external resources of the SST to the SST though other ones of the plinth's communication ports.

Mounting plinth for self-service terminal (SST)

A self-service terminal is described. The terminal includes first and second touch sensitive units. Each of these touch sensitive units includes a display and a touch sensitive panel overlying the display. The second customer display is configured differently to the first customer display. The terminal also includes a processor operable to present (i) a screen comprising a plurality of different selectable options to a customer on the first customer display, and (ii) a screen associated with a selected selectable option on the second customer display, so that the customer can use the second touch sensitive unit to enter transaction details in a more private manner than by using the first touch sensitive unit.

Self-service terminal

Terminal

A method and apparatus for authenticating a customer at a self-service terminal are described. The method comprises: receiving a stroke delineated by the customer; matching the delineated stroke to a defined shape; and providing feedback to the customer to indicate that the delineated stroke has been matched to a defined shape. These steps are repeated until a complete sequence of defined shapes has been entered. The method further comprises converting the defined shape sequence to a sequence of characters; encrypting the sequence of characters; and transmitting the encrypted sequence of characters to a host for authentication.

Authentication at a self-service terminal

To enable the payment of charges, for example those for mobile telephones, with cash there is provided an automated terminal for receiving payments including an input for currency notes, an acceptor for such currency notes and an input for information on an account for charges to which payment is required together with a control arrangement to record said account information and the value of acceptable currency notes fed in, to relate said information to said value as payment to said account and to hold said related information and value and acceptable currency notes available for retrieval. In this way a user need not have a bank account to make a payment to an account with a service provider.

Cash transaction verification and crediting apparatus

An automated teller machine () comprises a fascia () having a check entry/exit slot (), and a check processing module () for processing checks entered via the slot (). The terminal () includes a control means (), biometric data capture means (), a printer () and a check transport mechanism () for transporting checks between the slot () and the printer (). The control means is arranged to cause the printer () to print a representation of a biometric characteristic of a user onto a check during an attempt to deposit the check in the terminal ().

Automated teller machine

A self-service terminal (SST), such as an ATM includes apparatus for producing images containing instructions for users of the terminal, and an arrangement for projecting the images onto a screen forming part of a terminal user interface.

Self-service terminals

A self-service terminal ( ) includes a non-contact interface ( ) for enabling a user to interact with the terminal without requiring physical contact with the terminal, a biometric sensor ( ) for establishing the identity of the user by sensing a physical trait or characteristic of the user, and a processor ( ) for controlling the terminal. The interface ( ) may utilize speech recognition and generation.
