Card activated automated banking machine system and method
First Claim
1. Apparatus comprising:
- an automated banking machine including;
a card reader,wherein the card reader is operative to read indicia on cards corresponding to at least one of a corresponding user and a financial account;
a keypad including a plurality of manually actuatable keys;
a display;
a cash dispenser;
at least one processor,wherein the at least one processor is in operative connection with at least one of the card reader, the keypad, and the cash dispenser,wherein the at least one processor is operative independent of user input to the machine, to cause at least one authentication signal to be operatively communicated between the at least one processor and the display,wherein the at least one authentication signal is indicative of at least one of the display and the at least one processor comprising an authorized component authorized to operate in the automated banking machine;
wherein responsive to the at least one authentication signal being absent, at least one of the display and the at least one processor does not carry out at least one function.

Abstract
A card actuated automated banking machine (10) is operative to carry out financial transactions responsive to data included on user cards. The machine includes a user interface (15) including a display (24). The user interface includes a card reader (16) which is operative to read data on user cards which identify at least one of user and a user'"'"'s financial accounts. A fascia of the machine includes a keypad (404, 438, 458) through which users input confidential data. Covers (400, 422, 430) prevent unauthorized persons from viewing confidential inputs to the keypad. Authorization signals assure that the display is operating in a manner that provides appropriate user instructions. A visual indicator is operative to indicate to a user that keypad inputs are being encrypted.

23. Apparatus comprising:
-
an automated banking machine including; a data reader, wherein the data reader is operative to read data corresponding to at least one of a machine user and a financial account, a cash dispenser, a display, at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is in operative connection with at least one of the data reader and the cash dispenser, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause at least one authentication signal to be operatively communicated between the at least one processor and the display, wherein the at least one authentication signal is indicative of at least one of the display and the at least one processor being authorized to operate in the machine, wherein responsive at least in part to the at least one authentication signal being absent, the display ceases to provide at least one visual output.

24. Apparatus comprising:
-
an automated banking machine including; a data reader, wherein the data reader is operative to read data corresponding to at least one of a machine user and a financial account, a sheet dispenser, a display, at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is in operative connection with at least the data reader and the sheet dispenser, wherein the at least one processor is operative to cause at least one first signal to be sent to the display, wherein the at least one processor operates to expect receiving at least one feedback signal responsive at least in part to causing the at least one first signal to be sent, wherein responsive at least in part to receiving the at least one feedback signal, the at least one processor is operative to determine whether the at least one feedback signal is from a display authorized to operate in the machine,
wherein responsive at least in part to a positive determination, the at least one processor operates to allow the display to be used in carrying out transactions,
wherein responsive at least in part to a negative determination, the at least one processor operates to prevent at least one transaction function from being carried out by the machine,wherein responsive at least in part to not receiving the at least one feedback signal, the at least one processor operates to prevent the at least one transaction function from being carried out by the machine. - View Dependent Claims (25)
