Automated teller device having accessibility configurations

An automated teller device having accessibility configurations is disclosed. in one aspect, in response to a setting to enable the accessibility keypad mode, the automated teller device operates a session in an accessibility keypad mode. In the accessibility keypad mode a second set of actions is mapped to the keys of the keypad. The second set of actions is different than a first set of actions mapped to the keys of the keypad in a standard keypad mode. The second set of actions comprises one or more of actions for navigation and input selection of the graphical user interface, actions for control of audio being reproduced, actions for control of volume of the audio being reproduced, or actions for control of a rate of reproduction of the audio being reproduced.

Center de-skew subassembly to center align documents

A center-alignment apparatus for use in an ATM has a transport mechanism to transport a document into the ATM. One or more plates operable in tandem to move the document toward a centerline of a path the document is to travel. Edge-detection sensor(s) on the plate sense an edge of the document when the plate(s) is moved toward the centerline. A translate/rotate mechanism translates and rotates the document while the translate/rotate mechanism transversely moves the document toward the center until another edge-detection sensor detects an edge of the document to create a parallel-aligned document. The control logic controls the plate(s) to centers the parallel-aligned document about the centerline to create a centered document.

A media level of each Self-Service Terminal (SST) within a customized group of SSTs are managed in real time based on a current media level and a predicted optimal media level for each SST over a given period of time. During management, depositors are proactively steered away from media heavy SSTs to media deficient SSTs within the group. Any given SST of the group may have deposits temporarily disabled based on real-time instruction. Depositors that are being redirected may be incentivized to encourage the depositors to deposit at the cash deficient SSTs of the group.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Security Systems for Monitoring and Securing Physical Locations

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring a physical location to determine and/or predict anomalous activities. One or more machine learning algorithms may be used to analyze inputs from one or more sensors, cameras, audio recording equipment, and/or any other types of sensors to detect anomalous measurements/patterns. Notifications may be sent one or more devices in a network based on the detection.

Automated teller machines (ATMs) having offline functionality

A device may receive customer data, and store the customer data in a secure memory device of the device. The device may implement a backup mode in which the device utilizes the customer data to authorize requests based on determining that the device lacks a network connection. The device may receive, when the device is in the backup mode, a request for currency that includes authentication information. The device, while in the backup mode, may authorize the request for currency based on comparing the authentication information and the customer data. The device may dispense currency based on a result of comparing the authentication information and the customer data. The device may store transaction data associated with dispensing of the currency to permit the transaction data to be transmitted when the network connection is restored.

A computer implemented interactive gaming tournament system includes selecting, by a user, a game server and an entrance fee for a gaming match and submitting an entrance request that identifies the game server. The system includes sending a request for validation from a payment acceptance platform in response to receiving the entrance request and sending match population content to the game server in response to receiving validation from the payment acceptance platform that confirms a user account contains funds that are equal to or greater than the entrance fee. The system includes determining a payout amount in response to receiving a tournament endgame report from the game server and authenticating payment information for the user account and distributing the payout amount from a payment distribution platform to the user account if the payout amount is greater than zero and the user account is authenticated.

TERMINAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
20220405727 · 2022-12-22 ·

In some implementations, a system may receive a record associated with an operation of the terminal. The system may determine that the operation is associated with a service involving a user of the terminal. The system may determine, based on the service and from location information in the record, a location of the terminal. The system may determine that an agent device is available in association with providing the service for the user, wherein the agent device is determined to be available based on a status of an application session of the agent device. The system may perform an action associated with the application session to enable the agent device to facilitate performance of the service for the user.
