A Personal Identification Number (PIN) pad includes a secure processor and is operated in two modes: 1) a secure mode during which key data associated with depressed keys are encrypted by the secure processor and provided to a transaction manager that executes on a processor of a transaction terminal in encrypted format, and 2) a non-secure mode during which key data associated with depressed keys are not encrypted and are received by the transaction manager in a clear format. The transaction manager activates the secure mode based on transaction processing for a transaction at the terminal. When secure mode is activated, the secure processor causes one or more integrated lights/speakers of the PIN pad and/or of other integrated peripherals of the terminal to illuminate or play a sound, providing an indication to a user that key entry is secure and safe for entry on the PIN pad during the transaction.

Securing personal identification number (PIN) entry on a transaction terminal

A touch screen unit comprises a touch sensitive layer, a display and a processor. The processor is arranged to receive a signal indicative of a parallax error between a user's view of the touch sensitive layer and the user selectable objects displayed on the display and to correct for this parallax error.

A method of managing code-tracing data is described. The method comprises the steps of: analyzing a log of code-tracing data to identify a module in which an error occurred; activating code-tracing at a high detail level in that module; identifying modules associated with that module; and activating code-tracing at a high detail level in those identified modules.

Managing code-tracing data

A self-service terminal (SST) and a method of operating an SST are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of selecting a default characteristic for a service offered at the SST responsive to a normal press of a user button element associated with the service, indicating a plurality of selectable characteristics responsive to a long press of the user button element and selecting a chosen characteristic for the service responsive to a press of a user button element associated with one of said selectable characteristics.
