MEDIA DISPENSING SELF-SERVICE TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A self-service terminal comprising:
- a media dispenser coupled to a control board;
a cryptographic memory coupled to the control board;
a network connection coupled to the control board;
a contact token reader coupled to the control board;
a user interface comprising a plurality of lights; and
firmware executing on a processor coupled to the control board and operable to (i) read a token presented to the token reader each time the token contacts the token reader, (ii) ascertain a number of times a token reader is presented as part of a single transaction, (iii) create a transaction request including (a) an identifier read from the presented token and (b) an amount of cash requested based on the number of times the token was presented, (iv) encrypt the transaction request using data read from the cryptographic memory, and (v) transmit the encrypted transaction request to a remote authorization server using the network connection.

Abstract
A self-service terminal comprises a media dispenser coupled to a control board; a cryptographic memory coupled to the control board; a network connection; a contact token reader; and a user interface comprising a plurality of lights. The control board includes a processor executing firmware. The firmware is operable to (i) read a token presented to the token reader each time the token contacts the token reader, (ii) ascertain a number of times a token reader is presented as part of a single transaction, (iii) create a transaction request including (a) an identifier read from the presented token and (b) an amount of cash requested based on the number of times the token was presented, (iv) encrypt the transaction request using data read from the cryptographic memory, and (v) transmit the encrypted transaction request to a remote authorization server using the network connection.

9. A method of executing a media dispense transaction, the method comprising:
-
(i) reading an identification token each time the identification token touches a token reader, (ii) ascertaining a number of times the identification token touches the token reader as part of a single transaction, (iii) creating a transaction request including (a) an identifier read from the identification token and (b) an amount of cash requested based on the number of times the token touched the token reader, (iv) encrypting the transaction request, and (v) transmitting the encrypted transaction request to a remote authorization server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
