Automated banking machine with noncontact reading of card data
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- (a) operating at least one computer to cause an automated banking machine to read an encrypted image located adjacent the machine, wherein the machine includes at least one reader device and at least one cash dispenser;
(b) operating the at least one computer to determine a customer account number from the encrypted image read in (a), wherein the customer account number comprises a first number;
(c) operating the at least one computer to cause the machine to carry out a transaction involving the customer account number determined in (b);
(d) operating the at least one computer to determine a second number from the encrypted image read in (a), wherein the second number differs from the first number;
(e) prior to (a), operating the at least one computer to generate a random number; and
(f) operating the at least one computer to determine whether the second number corresponds to the random number.

Abstract
An automated banking machine can receive user card data from a cell phone. The phone stores the card data of several selectable cards, including electronic account number data. The machine generates and displays a random number correlated with a time period. A machine user manually inputs the displayed random number into their phone. A software application in the phone encrypts the selected card data along with the inputted random number data. The phone displays a bar code image containing the encrypted data. The banking machine includes a bar code reader which can read the displayed image. The machine causes the read data to be decrypted. The random number is used to verify the current transaction session. Thereafter, the user may provide other inputs, including PIN input. The process replaces physical insertion of a card yet allows secure input of the card data. Possible data interception from activities requiring card insertion are also reduced.

11. A method comprising:
-
(a) operating at least one computer to generate a verification code, wherein the at least one computer is operable to generate different verification codes, wherein the at least one computer is in operative connection with an image reader operable to read respective images while the respective images are located outside of an automated transaction machine; (b) operating the at least one computer to determine that at least one image read from a location outside of the machine by the image reader, includes code data that corresponds to the verification code generated in (a); and (c) operating the at least one computer responsive at least in part to the determination in (b), to allow a transaction involving a customer account number that corresponds to account data included in the at least one image, to proceed at the machine. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method comprising:
(a) operating at least one computer to determine from an encrypted image read by an image reader of an automated transaction machine, an input code which was previously generated by the at least one computer for customer use in providing a customer account number to the machine, (b) operating the at least one computer to use a decryption code that corresponds to the input code determined in (a) to further determine from the encrypted image, the customer account number; and (c) operating the at least one computer to allow to proceed at the machine, a transaction that involves the customer account number determined in (b). - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
