A method for visual programming an automated transaction machine (). The method includes the creation of terminal directors () that generally correspond to transactions performed by the automated transaction machine. The terminal directors are programmed by visually creating associations () between a plurality of ATM objects () in a work space (). Exemplary ATM objects include an authorization object (), a back stage control object (), a card reader object (), a customer profile object (), a depositor object (), a dispenser object (), keypad object (), a logic object (), a OCS object (), a presenter object (), a PIN entry object (), a printer object (), a sync object (), and a transaction data object (). The customer profile object is operative to retrieve customer profile information responsive to a determined customer of a person using the ATM. A portion of the exemplary ATM objects are operative to interface with a device interface layer () for communicating with physical hardware devices (). The device interface layer is operative to retrieve rules () and capability features from a data store () for automatically switching between two or more different devices of similar type when one of the devices becomes inoperative.

Automated banking machine customer profile method

An automated banking machine () is operative to conduct transactions in response to HTML documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system () through an intranet (), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers () in a wide area network (). The banking machine includes a computer () having an HTML document handling portion (). The HTML document handling portion is operative to communicate through a proxy server (), with a home HTTP server () in the intranet or the foreign servers in the wide area network. The computer further includes a device application portion () which interfaces with the HTML document handling portion and dispatches messages to operate devices () in the automated banking machine. The devices include a sheet dispenser mechanism () which dispenses currency as well as other transaction devices.

Method of developing automated banking machine instructions

A server is in communication with an ATM host and at least one ATM. Sever software is adapted to operate in the server to cause messages to be converted to enable ATM and ATM host communication. The server is operative to receive messages from the ATM host and/or the ATM, cause the received messages to be converted for handling by the other one of the ATM host and the ATM, and then cause the converted messages to be sent to the other one of the ATM host and the ATM. In one embodiment, the server software is operative to cause HTTP messages to be converted to non-HTTP messages, and vice versa.

Server software adapted to convert messages to enable ATM and ATM host communication

A cash dispensing automated banking machine that operates in response to data read from user cards includes a cash dispenser, keypad, and a card reader. The card reader is operative to read data bearing records such as user cards that include financial account information. At least one computer in the automated banking machine is responsive to a keymap specified by at least one markup language document and is responsive to configuration data accessed by the automated banking machine, to selectively enable a subset of keys of the keypad to be capable of providing inputs operative to cause the automated banking machine to carry out a portion of a banking transaction.

Automated banking machine and system

An automated banking machine () is operative to conduct transactions in response to mark up language documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system () through an intranet (), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers () in a wide area network (). The banking machine includes a computer () having mark up language document handling software that includes a browser (). The machine can receive instructions in mark up language documents accessed at an HTTP address to cause operation of transaction function devices, such as a currency dispenser ().

Method of using an automated banking machine

An automated banking machine () is operative to conduct transactions in response to HTML documents and TCP/IP messages exchanged with a local computer system () through an intranet (), as well as in response to messages exchanged with foreign servers () in a wide area network (). The banking machine includes a computer () having an HTML document handling portion (). The HTML document handling portion is operative to communicate through a proxy server (), with a home HTTP server () in the intranet or the foreign servers in the wide area network. The computer further includes a device application portion () which interfaces with the HTML document handling portion and dispatches messages to operate devices () in the automated banking machine. The devices include a sheet dispenser mechanism () which dispenses currency as well as other transaction devices. The device application portion communicates with a device interfacing software portion () in the banking machine through a device server () in the intranet. The device server maintains local control over the devices in the banking machine including the sheet dispenser. The banking machine operates to read indicia on the user's card corresponding to a system address. The computer is operative to connect the banking machine to the home or foreign server corresponding to the system address, which connected server operates the banking machine until the completion of transactions by the user.

Automated banking machine with record accessibility pre-check

An automated banking machine includes at least one browser and transaction function devices, including a currency dispenser device. The machine can be operated in a modified mode in response to transactions that are no longer available. A browser can be used to communicate with one or more servers. Data indicative of the availability of the certain transaction function *devices can be communicated to a server. One or more mark up language documents containing data and/or instructions that correspond to the operational availability to the machine of the transaction function devices can be accessed. The machine can then be operated responsive to the data and/or instructions. For example, the machine may change its display output to a customer to reflect its current transaction function device status. Customer transaction options can be readily changed via machine/server communication on a machine by machine basis.
