Abstract

In an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an apparatus comprising a first terminal that comprises a first display, a first wireless interface, and a first cash interface, and a second terminal that comprises a second display, a second wireless interface, and a second cash interface. Control logic is coupled with the first user interface and the second user interface and operable to control the operation of the first and second displays, first and second wireless interfaces, and first and second cash interfaces. A safe is coupled with the control logic, and the first and second cash interfaces. The control logic is operable to have cash selectively delivered from the safe to the first cash interfaces responsive to cash withdrawal transactions conducted at the first terminal and to the second cash interface responsive to cash withdrawal transactions conducted at the second terminal.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a first terminal having a first user interface, the first user interface comprises a first display, a first wireless interface, and a first cash interface;

a second terminal having a second user interface, the second user interface comprises a second display, a second wireless interface, and a second cash interface;

control logic coupled with the first user interface and the second user interface and operable to control the operation of the first and second displays, first and second wireless interfaces, and first and second cash interfaces; and

a safe coupled with the control logic, and the first and second cash interfaces;

wherein the control logic is operable to have cash selectively delivered from the safe to the first cash interfaces responsive to cash withdrawal transactions conducted at the first terminal and to the second cash interface responsive to cash withdrawal transactions conducted at the second terminal; and

wherein the first and second user interfaces are in opposite directions.

2. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the control logic is operable to receive data representative of a user via the first wireless interface;

wherein the control logic is operable to determine a queued transaction for the user; and

wherein the control logic is operable to display on the first display, data representative of the first transaction without displaying a default menu for conducting transactions at the first terminal.

3. The apparatus set forth in claim 2, wherein the control logic obtains the data representative of the queued transaction from the first wireless interface.

4. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the display further comprises a touch screen input;

wherein the control logic is operable to obtain data indicating a queued transaction is selected from the touch screen input.

5. The apparatus set forth in claim 4, wherein the control logic is operable to obtain additional data for the selected queued transaction from the touch screen input.

6. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the display further comprises a touch gesture input device;

wherein the control logic is operable to data indicating a queued transaction is selected from the gesture input device detecting a predefined gesture.

7. The apparatus set forth in claim 6, wherein the control logic is operable to obtain additional data for the selected queued transaction from the gesture input device.

8. The apparatus set forth in claim 4, wherein a plurality of queued transactions are received, and the control logic is operable to receive data indicating a selected transaction from the plurality of transactions from the touch screen input.

9. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, the first user interface further comprises a scanning device coupled with the control logic;

wherein the control logic is operable to receive data representative of a deposited item from the scanner; and

wherein the control logic is operable to provide a visual representation of the deposited item on the first display.

10. The apparatus set forth in claim 9, wherein the scanner is an optical scanner operable to read a barcode.

11. The apparatus set forth in claim 9, wherein the scanner is an infrared scanner.

12. The apparatus set forth in claim 9, wherein the scanner is operable to provide a visual representation of scanning status.

13. The apparatus set forth in claim 12, wherein the scanner provides the visual representation in a first color to indicate scanning is in progress and a visual representation in a second color to indicate scanning is completed.

14. The apparatus set forth in claim 9, further comprising a touch screen input device;

wherein the control logic is operable to allow data representative of an amount of the deposited item to be edited on the first display via the touch screen input.

15. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, the first user interface further comprises a scanning device coupled with the first display and the control logic;

wherein a deposited item is placed on the first display to be scanned;

wherein the control logic is operable to receive image data for a deposited item from the scanner; and

wherein the control logic is operable to provide a visual representation of the deposited item on the first display.

16. The apparatus set forth in claim 15, further comprising a touch screen input device;

wherein the control logic is operable to allow data representative of an amount of the deposited item to be edited on the first display via the touch screen input.

17. The apparatus set forth in claim 15, further comprising an input device selected from a group consisting of a touch screen input and a gesture input;

wherein the deposit item comprises a plurality of deposit items;

wherein the control logic is operable to display the plurality of deposit items;

wherein the control logic is operable to display a plurality of accounts associated with the user on the first user display;
