Description

The invention relates to automatic banking devices, which can be used in a wide coverage network, which provides the user with an interface known to him that connects his own institution with bank devices of other institutions. More specifically, the invention relates to methods and devices for inputting data into an automated banking machine.

Automatic banking machines (ATMs) are well known. A common type of automatic banking machine used by customers is ATMs (BM). BMs provide customers with the opportunity to conduct banking financial transactions. Common banking financial transactions that can be performed using BM include cash withdrawal, deposits, transfer of funds between accounts, payment of bills and requests for funds on the account. The type of banking financial transactions performed by a client is determined by the capabilities of a particular banking machine and programming in the institution that works with this device. Automatic banking machines can provide customers with the opportunity to make accruals to accounts or make money transfers. Other types of automated banking machines can print or issue securities such as coupons, tickets, bets, checks, checks, food coupons, payment orders, temporary receipts or traveller's checks. In the context of this description, an automatic banking machine or an automatic financial transaction apparatus includes any device that carries out financial transactions, including the transfer of amounts.

Currently, BMs operate in private communication networks. These networks connect BM working in financial institutions and other legal entities. This interconnection of networks often allows the user to use a bank machine operating in another institution if the bank device of a third-party institution is connected to a network that includes the institution of this user. But if the client works with the device of a third-party institution, he must work with the machine using the user interface created by this third-party institution for his bank devices. In addition, the client is limited to the range of operations provided by this third-party institution.

When using the device of a third-party institution, the client may encounter some difficulties. Difficulties may arise because the user is not familiar with the type of machine with which the third-party institution works. Errors can occur because the user does not know which buttons or other mechanisms need to be activated in order to carry out the necessary operations. The procedure for financial transactions for a given client in the device of a third-party institution may differ significantly from the devices that operate in the user's own institution. This circumstance can become a problem when the user is in another country and is not familiar with the type of banking machine or with the interface language established by this third-party institution.

A third-party institution may also provide various types of operations that are known to the user in his own institution. For example, the user's own institution can transfer funds between accounts using their automatic banking machines to enable the user to keep funds in accounts with a higher percentage for the necessary periods of time. If a third-party institution does not provide such an opportunity, then the user will not be able to do this when working with a third-party device. The inability of the user working with a third-party device to carry out the operations to which he is used can lead to problems.

Networks working with BM and other types of automatic banking machines usually operate in private networks, access to which is limited. This is necessary to prevent fraud or illegal attempts to penetrate the network or into user accounts. Private networks are also commonly used to send credit card messages and other financial transaction messages. Access to these credit card processing systems is also limited mainly for security reasons.

Communication between wide area networks makes it possible to transfer messages between locations that are remote from each other. The most widely known wide-area network is the Internet, which can be used to provide communications between computers around the world. The Internet is not widely used for reporting financial transactions because it is not a secure network. Messages intended to be received at a specific computer address can be intercepted unnoticed at other addresses. Since messages can be intercepted at locations that are far from the destination country, there is a potential for fraud.

Some companies are starting to provide technical solutions for more secure messaging over the Internet. For Internet communications, encryption methods are also used. But the openness of the Internet has limited its usefulness for transmitting financial messages, in particular financial messages related to the operation of automatic banking machines.

Messages on wide area networks can be transmitted using the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP). US Patent No. 5706422 provides an example of a system in which financial information stored in databases is accessed through a private, wide-area network using TCP / IP messages. Messages sent on networks that use TCP / IP may contain “documents” (so-called “pages”). These documents are written in Hypertext Notation Language (HTML), which is a designation of the type of programming language used to compose documents that contain commands or “shortcuts”. Labels are codes that define characteristics and / or operations of a document, such as fonts, layout, embedded graphics, or hypertext links. HTML documents are processed and read using a computer program browser (program accelerated file viewing). HTML documents can be transmitted over the network using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which provides the ability to enter links into the text of the document, which allow access to other documents while working on the network.

The invention is based on a solution to the following problem. A modern programming environment for computer applications often includes built-in tools for processing data inputs from standard input devices such as mice, touch screens, keyboards. At the same time, existing automatic banking machines do not have such funds. The present invention enables a conventional automatic banking machine with standard function keys and auxiliary keyboards (keypads) to be used with software that is programmed for use with computer input means, such as a mouse or keyboard, without requiring hardware upgrades of the automatic banking device with the purpose of including a mouse or keyboard in it.

The present invention provides this result by converting input signals from a function key of an automatic banking machine or from an auxiliary keyboard of an automatic banking machine into a standard mouse input signal or into a standard keyboard signal. These standard mouse or keyboard inputs can then be routed to the normal mouse or keyboard input streams used by the computer operating system. Due to this, it is possible to use modern software development of application programs for creating applications for user interfaces of automatic banking machines without additional time consuming writing specific routines for each application aimed at processing data inputs from input devices specific to automatic banking machines, such as a function key or auxiliary keyboard of an automatic banking appar ata.

The invention is illustrated in the embodiments illustrated by the drawings, which represent the following:

figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a network configuration containing an automatic banking machine and the system of the present invention;

figure 2 - schematic representation of the user interface of the automatic banking machine, function keys and keys of the auxiliary keyboard included in the interface;

FIGS. 3-5 are a schematic diagram of examples of steps for converting data inputs from function keys and keys of an auxiliary keyboard into a data stream from a keyboard and a data stream from a mouse.

Figure 1 shows the configuration of the network 1, which contains a set of automatic banking machines 2, which in the preferred embodiment of the present invention are BM. BM 2 connected to a computer system 3 of its own bank. The computer system 3 of the own bank is a computer system with which the bank or other institution that manages the BM 2 is operating. The computer system 3 of the own bank is connected to the BM 2 through an internal network (intranet) 4. The internal network 4 is preferably a local or private network , which provides communication between computer system 3 and bank devices 2 using messages in the format of the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (HTTP / IP).

Messages that are transmitted over the internal network 4 are preferably HTTP / IP protocol messages and HTML documents. HTML documents sent over intranet 4 may contain embedded object-oriented programming commands, preferably in JAVA format. Messages sent through the internal network 4 can be sent in encrypted or unencrypted form, depending on the nature of the system and the security needs of your own bank.

The commands contained in the documents may determine the computer’s access to other documents, records or files at other addresses in order to receive three or another program for performing some operation.

The computer system 3 of the own bank is also connected to a wide network 5, for example, to the Internet or other wide network. The wide area network preferably sends HTTP / IP messages between multiple computer systems connected to the wide area network. These third-party computer systems are schematically represented by servers 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Other financial institutions around the world can work with servers 6-10, and these servers can connect to them. Servers 6-10 preferably work by sending HTML documents and other HTTP messages.

Processing HTML documents in conventional computers requires data input using a standard keyboard with QWERTY type characters, as well as mouse clicks in places corresponding to images or other characteristics of HTML documents in order to successfully find and use these documents. Conventional automatic banking machines, as a rule, do not have a mouse or a full keyboard. Conventional automatic banking machines, as a rule, have an alphanumeric auxiliary keyboard similar to telephone panels, and also function keys. Embodiments of the invention enable the system to operate with terminal devices that condition the operation of these interfaces so as to achieve the advantages provided by the invention.

Figure 2 shows an example of a conventional automatic banking machine that has an interface 11. The interface 11 comprises an output device comprising a screen 12. The screen 12 may be a CRT, a liquid crystal display, or other conventional display screen. The set of function keys 13 is located near the screen 12. The auxiliary keyboard 14 is also included in the interface 11. The auxiliary keyboard 14 contains alphanumeric keys, as well as some specialized keys, such as “cancel”, “correct”, and “ right ”(ok). Other keys on the keypad are usually blank, but in some cases can be used.

During the operation of a conventional automatic banking machine, the screen data, which is formed from information stored in the terminal memory, forms certain screen images of financial transactions, which are presented graphically on screen 12. Screen images appear in sequence when responding to the financial transaction function selected by the client. Conventional on-screen images also typically contain text or graphics representing options that the client can select. These text or graphic options usually contain lines or other characters that extend to the edges of the screen image near one of the function keys 13. The user can select options by pressing the function key that is indicated by this selectable option. Similarly, as with the automatic banking machine, the user can enter alphanumeric, which contain a personal identification number (PIN), as well as digital information about the amount and other commands by pressing the keys on the auxiliary keyboard 14.

In one embodiment of the invention, the automatic banking machine software converts standard BM key inputs to operating system events, such as a mouse click in the right place or input from a standard QWERTY keyboard. Software components that perform this function are shown in FIGS. 3-5. These functions contain a specialized program (applet) 15 of the auxiliary keyboard. Specialized program 15 auxiliary keyboard provides a subset of the functionality of the keyboard common device interface.

Specialized auxiliary keyboard program 15 is coordinated with the keyboard command server, which operates in the financial services application system 16. The server in the financial services application system 16 establishes a connection with a common device interface 17 for the auxiliary keyboard and function keys. The keyboard general device interface in the preferred embodiment is the JAVA program, which is a wrapper for the general device interface associated with the function keys and the auxiliary keyboard.

The software also includes a keyboard display program 18. Keyboard display program 18 in a preferred embodiment is coupled to a database 19 in which a plurality of mappings are stored. In a preferred embodiment, the keyboard mapping program is an extension of the keyboard class of objects used to function the keyboard. The keyboard mapping program operates to store multiple keyboard mappings in the database 19. This is done by reading information into the configuration database so that the BM receives keyboard displays that are active in a particular device. During operation, the keyboard display program selects one of the keyboard displays as the current option. This is done in response to a specialized auxiliary keyboard program and is based on commands in HTTP protocol entries that are selectively accessed. The keyboard mapper can select keyboard mappings when responding to HTML documents downloaded through a browser. The keyboard display program also activates the auxiliary keyboard and function keys corresponding to the particular selected keyboard display configuration. The keyboard mapping program also acts in response to the selected keyboard mapping configuration to convert the input of the auxiliary keyboard or the input of the function key to the corresponding input of the keyboard or mouse, which is then sent to the input stream of a standard keyboard or mouse input stream of an operating system (OS) of a computer, in which this software operates.

In a preferred embodiment, each keyboard mapping consists of hashed tables. Keyboard display objects are stored as values in hashed tables, so that each object contains the values and operations necessary to convert any corresponding BM key input event into an operating system input event.

In the case of function keys located near the screen image in the BM, it may be desirable to provide input from the mouse (coordinate data) into the data stream of the computer of the banking machine, intended for data input from the mouse, which corresponds to a specific coordinate location of the mouse input. This is achieved using a keyboard display program using a selected set of keyboard mappings. Different sets of keyboard mappings drive different function keys to provide different types of inputs to a computer operating system responsive to an HTML document displayed in a browser. Further, as a result of the keyboard mapping program, pressing the selected key generates an input corresponding to a mouse click on the selected position (x, y) of the coordinate on the screen image. It should be noted that to form data inputs from the mouse, you can use either the keys of the auxiliary keyboard or the function keys. Similarly, data inputs from function keys can be converted to data inputs from a standard keyboard. In some embodiments, however, it will be desirable to turn off the mouse indicator on the screen image, as a result of which the user will not see a normal image of the mouse indicator. In some embodiments, this shutdown may include reducing the size of the image of the mouse indicator, which is so small that it cannot be easily viewed by the user of the device.

During some stages of a financial transaction, the user may not be required to press any keys. In these situations, in some preferred embodiments, the keypad keys and / or function keys are turned off. Since computer resources are used to poll these keys for inputs, the termination of this survey for appropriate periods of time causes the computer resources to switch to other functions. This will increase the speed at which other actions can be performed. This can be done in some embodiments by a specialized keypad program that removes keyboard devices from the questionnaire.

Figures 3-5 show schematically examples of the operation of a keyboard display program and a specialized sub keyboard program. Figure 4 depicts an example of data input from the auxiliary keyboard 14. In this example, a specialized auxiliary keyboard program 15, mainly when responding to HTTP protocol commands, in particular HTML documents or other events, transmits and drives events in the service application system financial operations in the server 16 keyboard commands. In response to this, a keyboard display corresponding to a particular display name is selected from the database 19. The keyboard command server 16 then activates the corresponding BM keys.

In this example, in response to the client pressing the “OK” key on the secondary keyboard, the common device interface 17 generates a corresponding signal to the financial services application system. From figure 2 it follows that the key “OK” corresponds with the key “J” of the interface BM. The financial services application system transmits a signal generated by pressing the “J” key by the client to the keyboard display program 18. In response to receiving this signal, the keyboard display program 18 provides resolution of the corresponding object in the set of mappings corresponding to the display name, which converts the input signal of the function key into the input signal of the standard keyboard, which is recognized by the operating system. By calling the selected object from the set of displays, an input signal is generated corresponding to a key on a standard computer keyboard, which is sent to the corresponding computer data stream. This is represented by a standard keyboard data stream 20. In this embodiment, the data stream is input to the Windows NT operating system. Specialized sub keyboard program 15 detects input using its key input control program. Specialized program 15 receives a keystroke event and can display an image or other graphic corresponding to the input made by the client.

Figure 3 illustrates the operation of the keyboard display program 18 in situations where the financial services application system in the command server 16 prevents the data entered by the client into the specialized program 15 from being transmitted. This may be desirable, for example, in situations where the customer enters a PIN or other data that should not be displayed. In these circumstances, the financial services application system remembers the data entered by the client and sends to the browser only a signal that represents the storage symbol, in this example, the “*” symbol. This is done selectively when responding to commands contained in documents that were accessed by a browser, or in other HTTP protocol entries accessed by a computer and indicating that the client input corresponds to its PIN code or other data that should not sent to the browser. In the example shown in FIG. 3, only the storage symbol is sent to the browser through the keyboard mapping program. In situations where the HTTP protocol entry that has been accessed invokes procedures in which digital values must be sent to the browser and / or displayed on the screen (such as the amount of the financial withdrawal transaction), the signal sent by the financial transaction services application system , indicates a numerical value related to the pressed key.

Figure 5 shows another example of the operation of the keyboard display program: in this case, the input corresponds to the function key 13. In this case, the input is caused by pressing the function key “A”, which is shown near the upper right corner of the screen in figure 2. The signal generated by responding to the pressing of this function key is sent to the keyboard display program, which, in response to the data received from the database 19, displays input data from the mouse corresponding to the mouse click. Data input from the mouse contains data characterizing the x and coordinates of the point on the screen where you want to click the mouse. The input data input coordinate data is entered into the data stream 21, intended for data input from the mouse.

To commission an automatic banking machine that processes HTML documents to work using the standard BM interface, mouse input usually contains coordinate locations that correspond to the location on the screen near a specific function key. This is because the icon, line, text or other characters selected by the client by pressing the key will preferably appear or continue on the screen image next to the key. Thus, with the help of a visual representation, the client becomes aware of which key to press in order to make the corresponding choice. A set of function keys near the screen can be activated at any time. The client can make a selection by pressing a function key in one location and then a function key in another location at a distance of the first location. As a result of this, the signals will be sent to the data stream for data input from the mouse in accordance with mouse clicks on the coordinates of points on the screen near the function keys pressed by the client. During financial operations, various combinations of function keys and keys of the auxiliary keyboard can be activated and displayed on various data inputs from the standard keyboard and mouse in accordance with how it is determined by the selected sets of displays. In addition, special sets of mappings can be developed corresponding to the particular graphic displayed in the HTTP protocol documents.

In this way, data inputs made from the auxiliary keyboard of a conventional BM or other automatic banking machines can be converted into data inputs from a standard computer keyboard or data input from a mouse, which can be identified and processed in a normal input data stream from a standard keyboard or input data stream from mouse to the computer. Similarly, data inputs from function keys can be converted to coordinate data inputs at selected locations and delivered to the input data stream from a mouse for processing by a computer, or they can be converted to data inputs from a keyboard and delivered to an input data stream from a standard keyboard. Another advantage of the described configuration of the terminal is that the keys can be selectively disabled at a time when they are not needed. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of cases of attempts of unauthorized access to the device by pressing the keys on the keyboard. Also, as indicated above, you can turn off the keys when they are not used to increase the speed of processing financial transactions.
