Abstract

An apparatus that operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records, includes at least one processor that is in operative connection with a card reader, a check acceptor, a cash dispenser and a display. The at least one processor causes the machine to operate to read card data from a user card, and to cause a determination to be made that the read card data corresponds to an authorized financial account. The at least one processor is operative to cause data to be read from a check and/or cash to be dispensed, and a financial transfer to or from the account corresponding to the value thereof. Machine instructions are output and user transaction inputs can be received through either a primary or an auxiliary touch screen display.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

an automated banking machine that is operative to cause financial transfers, the automated banking machine comprises;

a primary display on a front fascia of the machine,

an auxiliary display, wherein the auxiliary display is separate from the primary display and positioned relatively lower on the front fascia of the automated banking machine than the primary display,

a processor operatively coupled with the primary display and auxiliary display;

wherein the processor is operative to cause visible indicia associated with a financial transaction being initiated at the machine output through the primary display,

responsive at least in part to an input to output visible indicia through the auxiliary interface received by an input device associated with the automated banking machine coupled with the processor, cause the visible indicia associated with the financial transaction to move from the primary display to the auxiliary display;

wherein the input device is selected from a group consisting of a primary display touch screen, an auxiliary display touch screen, a key pad, a wireless transceiver operable to receive input data from a portable wireless device, and a headphone connector.

2. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

a reader, wherein the reader is operative to read data that is usable to identify at least one financial account associated with the financial transaction;

wherein the processor is in operative connection with the reader;

wherein the processor is operative to cause user data to be read through operation of the reader;

wherein the processor is operative to determine that the user data corresponds to a financial account authorized to have a transaction conducted thereon through operation of the machine; and

responsive at least in part to the determination, the financial account changed an amount corresponding to the financial transaction.

3. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the one processor is operative responsive at least in part to the input, to cause both the primary display and the auxiliary display to both output the visible indicia.

4. The apparatus set forth in claim 1,

wherein the fascia includes a generally horizontally extending shelf surface,

wherein the auxiliary display includes a display surface that extends generally parallel with the shelf surface.

5. The apparatus set forth in claim 4,

wherein the shelf surface includes an upper shelf surface,

wherein the display surface of the auxiliary display extends generally coplanar with the upper shelf surface.

6. The apparatus set forth in claim 5, wherein the auxiliary display includes a secure touch screen display module.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6,

wherein the machine further includes a key pad, and wherein the key pad includes a plurality of keys,

wherein the plurality of keys include contact surfaces that extend generally parallel with the shelf surface.

8. The apparatus set forth in claim 1,

wherein the machine includes a headphone connector,

wherein the at least one input corresponds at least in part to the processor detecting an operative connection of the headphone connector with headphones.

9. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the input includes an input received through the auxiliary display touch screen.

10. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the processor is operative to control a position of a graphic pointer on the primary display, responsive an input received through the auxiliary display touch screen.

11. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the processor is operative to cause a change in position of at least one item of touch selectable indicia output through the primary display responsive at least in part to at least one input received through the auxiliary display touch screen.

12. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the processor is operative to cause a change in at least one of size, orientation, and distortion, of at least one item of visible indicia output through the primary display, responsive at least in part to at least one input received through the auxiliary display touch screen.

13. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, the machine further comprises a shield structure that overlies at least a portion of the auxiliary display.

14. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the auxiliary display is blank while the visible indicia is output on the primary display.

15. The apparatus set forth in claim 14, wherein the primary display is blank while the visible indicia is output on the auxiliary display.

16. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the primary display is blank while the visible indicia is output on the auxiliary display.

17. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the auxiliary display outputs an advertisement not related to the financial transition while the visible indicia is output on the primary display.

18. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the primary display outputs an advertisement not related to the financial transition while the visible indicia is output on the auxiliary display.

19. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the auxiliary display functions as a touch pad to control a pointer on the primary display while the visible indicia is output on the primary display.

20. The apparatus set forth in claim 1, wherein the auxiliary display becomes the operative user interface and inputs for the financial transaction are received via the auxiliary display responsive to the input to output visible indicia through the auxiliary interface.
