FUEL DISPENSER USER INTERFACE
First Claim
1. A user interface for a fuel dispenser adapted to handle sensitive information, the user interface comprising:
- a display board;
a display operatively connected to the display board; and
control circuitry comprising a processor, memory, and a first trigger, wherein the display board and the control circuitry are in respective planes that are generally parallel to one another, and a portion of the display board physically overlays a portion of the control circuitry so that the first trigger is connected to the display board portion.

Abstract
A user interface for a fuel dispenser comprising a display, a display controller, and control circuitry. The control circuitry comprises a processing device, memory, and at least one microswitch. The display controller and the control circuitry are positioned such that the microswitch connects the control circuitry to the display controller. The microswitch is activated if the control circuitry is separated from the display controller. Activation of the microswitch causes any sensitive information stored by the control circuitry to be erased. In one aspect, separation of the display controller from the control circuitry is the only manner by which the processing device and/or the memory may be accessed.
