A method for controlling at least one setting of a basic input output system (BIOS) of at least one automated transaction machine (ATM) can include provisioning features of an active management technology system of a first computing device associated with an ATM. The method can also include establishing an initial trust between the first computing device and a second computing device that is remote from the first computing device, over a serial-over-lan (SOL) connection that is a feature of the active management technology system. The method can also include configuring the setting of the BIOS of the first computing device and storing a schedule for changing the setting of the BIOS. The method can also include reconfiguring the setting of the BIOS in response to the schedule stored on the database over the SOL.

A card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine operates responsive to data included on user cards. A system and method for producing the automated banking machine incorporating a plurality of hardware devices in the automated banking machine responsive to order data associated with a purchase order for the automated banking machine. The hardware devices include a card reader, a cash dispenser, at least one processor, at least one hard drive, and at least one output device. The order data includes at least one hardware part number corresponding to at least one of the devices, at least one software part number corresponding to at least one software component, and at least one customization part number corresponding to at least one customization file. The system and method include installing the software component and the customization file on the at least one hard drive of the machine, through operation of the at least one server responsive to the order data.

Card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine customization system and method

An automated banking machine operates to carry out financial transfers responsive to data read form data bearing records. The machine includes a card reader that operates to read data from user cards. The card data corresponds to financial accounts. The automated banking machine further includes a cash dispenser. The machine is operative to dispense cash to an authorized user based on identifying data including card data, and to cause a financial transfer from an account corresponding to card data through communication with at least one remote computer. The machine is operative to authorize the installation, use, and/or configuration of automated banking machine software applications and components.

Card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine authorization system and method

An automated banking machine () is operative to enable a plurality of authorized software components () to be selectively configured. The machine may be provided with either an authorization key () or a configuration certificate () that is generated by a licensing authority (). The machine is operative to authenticate the key or certificate prior to granting a user permission to configure the machine. The machine is operative to authenticate a configuration certificate by evaluating a digital signature () associated with the configuration certificate. An authorization key may be authenticated by comparing it to a second authorization key generated responsive to a plurality of configuration parameters and one-way hash functions (). The key or certificate may be associated with a plurality of configuration rules () which specify the configuration software components and parameters for specific ATM software and hardware.

Automated banking machine configuration system and method

A card activated cash dispensing automated banking machine is operative to authorize the installation, use, and/or configuration of ATM software applications and components. The machine may be provided with either an authorization key or a configuration certificate that is generated by a licensing authority. The machine is operative to authenticate the key or certificate prior to granting a user permission to install, run, and/or configure the software. The machine is operative to authenticate a configuration certificate by evaluating a digital signature associated with the configuration certificate. An authorization key may be authenticated by comparing it to a second authorization key generated responsive to inputted license information and one-way hash functions. The key or certificate may be associated with a plurality of configuration rules which specify the configuration software components and parameters for specific ATM software and hardware.

Cash dispensing automated banking machine software authorization system and method

An automated teller machine () includes at least one processor () which operates to cause transaction function devices () to operate to carry out banking transactions for users of the machine. A software environment () operates in the processor and includes a hardware independent software application () which application may be operated successfully in a plurality of brands of automated teller machine hardware. The automated teller machine verifies that the software application has been authorized by an appropriate authorizing entity before the application is enabled to cause operation of transaction function devices. In some distribution methods the software application is provided in source code form at generally no charge to ATM owners and software developers, who are required to contribute modifications to the entity offering the software, which modifications are further made available to facilitate the development and use of platform independent software applications in automated teller machines.
