A valuable media sanitizing/cleansing cassette is provided for sanitizing/cleansing surfaces of valuable media dispensed to a consumer during a dispense transaction at a transaction terminal. Dispensed media is urged from one or more media cassettes within the terminal along a transport path. The transport path is altered to pass the media through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette where the top and bottom surfaces of the media are illuminated with Ultraviolet (UV) radiation to eradicate any bacteria or virus that may be adhered to the top or the bottom surfaces of the media. Once the media passes through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette, the now sanitized/cleansed media is urged along a remainder of the transport path and dispensed from a media interface of the terminal to the consumer. In an embodiment, media deposited at the terminal is also sanitized/cleansed by passing through the sanitizing/cleansing cassette before being stored in the appropriate media cassettes.

Media sanitizing cassette and method of operation

Examples of a system and method for transacting media at a self-service terminal (SST), are generally described. A method may include receiving a PIN on a user interface component of a media interface aperture cover. The method may include causing the media interface aperture cover to retract to dispense or receive media through a media interface aperture.

Combined shutter and user interface pin entry

A display includes two-integrated cameras. A first camera is situated in a top right corner of a front display surface of the display and a second camera is situated in a top left corner of the front display surface. The display is connected to a transaction terminal with the first camera focused on a bagging area associated with the transaction terminal and with the second camera focused on a staging area associated with the transaction terminal. Each camera captures images of items and the item images are streamed over a high-speed display port directly to the transaction terminal. The transaction terminal performs item recognition, item tracking, and auditing on the items based the item images during transaction processing at the transaction terminal.

Display with integrated cameras

In an embodiment, a secure safe apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a base and a bollard. The bollard comprises a first portion and a second portion manufactured as a single vertical member. The first portion is of sufficient length to extend below a bottom surface of the base into ground at a site where the secure safe apparatus is set. The second portion is of sufficient length to extend through a thickness of the base and above a top surface of the base. The second portion is adapted to be inserted through an aperture in a floor of a safe and affixed to an interior beam manufactured within an inside of the safe to affix the second portion to the beam.

Secure safe apparatus and system

A slim-profile safe has a safe body that defines an interior space, and a safe door that is moveable between a closed position for securing the interior space and an open position for accessing the interior space. The safe door includes a fore portion and a recess portion that is offset from the fore portion by a recess angle. The fore portion defines a maximum depth of the safe, and the recess portion provides a reduced depth portion of the safe for the presentation of external hardware for operating a lock that releasably locks the safe door in the closed position, the recess portion being sufficiently offset from the fore portion such that the external hardware is positioned entirely sub-flush to a plane that extends parallel to the fore portion.

Slim profile safe

Disclosed is a media rotation mechanism. The media rotation mechanism may include a housing, a media receiver, and a rotation motor. The housing may define a first opening and a second opening. The media receiver may define a media receiver opening. The rotation motor may be configured to rotate the media receiver between a first position and a second position. The first position may correspond to the media receiver opening facing the first opening. The second position may correspond to the media receiver opening facing the second opening.

Media rotation mechanism

Disclosed is a shutter assembly for a self-service terminal. The shutter assembly may comprise a track assembly, a shutter door, and a motor. The shutter door may be installed within the track assembly. The motor may be operative to move the shutter door between a first position and a second position and the first position and a third position. The second position may be located opposite the third position.

Shutter assembly for a self-service terminal

A self-service terminal, such as an automated teller machine, can have a fascia, a display positioned on the fascia, and a depth sensing camera positioned on the fascia. The camera can capture a video stream of a hand-held document, such as a check, and capture a depth map stream of the hand-held document. A processor positioned in the self-service terminal can sequentially: determine, from the depth map stream, that the document is outside a specified range of distances away from the camera; present, on the display, instructions to reposition the document to be within the specified range of distances away from the camera; determine, from the depth map stream, that the document is within the specified range of distances away from the camera; and automatically capture an image of the document from the video stream.

Document imaging using depth sensing camera

Various embodiments herein include a pocket to receive tendered notes and to dispense notes from a terminal, such as an automated teller machine. The pocket may include a shutter, a lifter opposite the shutter, a pusher plate between and perpendicular to the shutter and lifter, and a ceiling clamp. The pocket also includes a controller causes the terminal to perform actions when dispensing notes including moving the ceiling clamp to an open position and providing an output triggering dispensing of notes into the pocket. The actions further include moving the ceiling clamp to a closed position, moving the pusher plate to bias notes present within the pocket against the ceiling clamp and raising the lifter from a lower position to an upper position thereby lifting notes present between the pusher plate and the ceiling clamp. The shutter is then opened to expose and dispense the notes.

Adjustable pocket device for note dispensing and receiving

A safe includes at least one wall having a gap with a safe protection mechanism inserted into the gap. The at least one wall when penetrated by an attack tool attempting to penetrate an interior of the safe activates the safe protection mechanism to thwart and/or impeded progress of the attack tool.
