SELF-SERVICE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A self-service terminal comprising:
- a pc core;
at least one module coupled to the pc core;
a control application executing on the pc core for controlling the operation of the terminal; and
a management application executing on the pc core and arranged to (i) monitor state of health of the pc core, the control application, and the at least one module, (ii) detect a fault state at any of the pc core, the control application, and the at least one module, (iii) monitor the control application to ascertain if a filter criterion is satisfied, and (iv) transmit a fault signal from the terminal only if the filter criterion is not satisfied.

Abstract
A self-service terminal comprises a pc core; at least one module coupled to the pc core; a control application executing on the pc core for controlling the operation of the terminal; and a management application executing on the pc core. The management application is arranged to (i) monitor state of health of the pc core, the control application, and the at least one module, (ii) detect a fault state at any of the pc core, the control application, and the at least one module, (iii) monitor the control application to ascertain if a filter criterion is satisfied, and (iv) transmit a fault signal from the terminal only if the filter criterion is not satisfied.

8. A method of operating a self-service terminal comprising a pc core and at least one module coupled to the pc core, the method comprising:
-
monitoring state of health of the pc core and the at least one module; detecting a fault state at either of the pc core and the at least one module, monitoring the control application to ascertain if a filter criterion is satisfied, and transmitting a fault signal from the terminal only if the filter criterion is not satisfied. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A self-service terminal comprising:
- a pc core, and at least one module, which can be powered down independently of the pc core;
the terminal having a control application and an agent arranged to monitor the fault state of the at least one module and cause a fault signal to be sent from the terminal when the fault state of the at least one module is characteristic of a problem with the at least one module, wherein the agent is arranged to determine if the module has been powered down, whereupon the fault signal is buffered until the module is powered up and a determination as to the fault state of the module is again made and the fault signal is only sent if the fault state is still characteristic of a problem with the at least one module.
- a pc core, and at least one module, which can be powered down independently of the pc core;
