Terminal

Embodiments of a tactile strip and systems including a tactile strip are generally described herein. A tactile strip may include a back side configured to be coupled to a touchscreen display and a front side opposite the back side. The tactile strip may include a plurality of tactile features on the front side, the plurality of tactile features corresponding to a plurality of displayed inputs on the touchscreen display. A user touch may be used to register contact with the touchscreen via tactile feature guidance. A selected input may be confirmed by a long press, double touch, secondary touch, or other gesture.

Accessible tactile features for blind and partially sighted PIN entry and touchscreen usage

A token () for storing data to be read by a reader device comprises wireless communication circuitry (), a processor and a memory () for storing the data, and further comprises a communication device () for communicating to a user.

Token and reader

A secure USB flash drive employing digital rights management to implement secure digital media storage such as that provided by encrypted storage utilizing content protection for recordable media (CPRM) or the like. Unlike a secure digital card which provides such protection, it does not need an SD card port which is CPRM enabled, or alternatively a reader adapted for use therewith. The form factor can be that of a standard USB flash drive and a standard USB connector is employed making the device and its use familiar and comfortable to the average consumer.

Control device

A self-service terminal comprising a plurality of devices is described. The devices comprise: a racking handle for moving that device from an operational position to a maintenance position; a primary visual identifier (such as a bright color) associated with the racking handle, where the primary visual identifier is common for all of the racking handles and is not used for any part of the device except a racking handle; and a secondary visual identifier associated with any other parts of the device that may be safely touched, where the secondary visual identifier is visually distinct (for example, by using a different color) from the primary visual identifier.

Self-service terminal

A method of operating a self-service terminal and a network of self-service terminals. The method comprises: receiving notification that a maintenance operation has been performed on the terminal; performing a compliance check on the terminal; and issuing a code in the event that the compliance check is successful. The code can be used to audit and/or validate that the maintenance operation was performed successfully and that the terminal was left in working order.
