Abrégé

In an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein a technique that allows the capabilities of an automated banking machine, such as an ATM, to be upgraded remotely. For example, the banking machine may be sold or leased with an initial configuration. If the customer desires to add additional features, the customer can pay for the features and the manufacturer or dealer can send a signal from a remote host to the automated banking machine with data representative of the upgrade. The banking machine then operates with the upgraded configuration.

The invention relates to an assembly (10) having a card reader (12) arranged in a housing (100). The housing (100) comprises a pivotable flap (102), which in an opened state enables access to the card reader (12) and in a closed state prevents access to the card reader (12). The flap (102) has an opening (104), through which a card can be fed to the card reader (12) and/or can be ejected by the card reader (12) in the closed state of the flap (102). The assembly (10) has an elastically deformable element (14) for resiliently supporting the card reader (12). The assembly (10) also has a first positioning element (16) for positioning the card reader (12), which first positioning element is arranged on the flap (102) in such a way that the first positioning element faces the card reader (12) in the closed state of the flap (102). When the flap (102) is moved from the open state into the closed state, the first positioning element (16) moves the card reader (12) in such a way that the card reader (12) is arranged in a predefined position relative to the flap (102) in the closed state of the flap (102).

Abrégé

The simple gesture control of the user interface can be used by visually impaired or blind people in order to enter telephone numbers or account numbers for example. The user interface and the method constitute a shift from the current paradigm of guiding a user on touchscreens, which has precisely the advantage of the hand-eye coordination allowed by the touchscreen, wherein a user touches the exact location on the touchscreen where a corresponding selection surface is visualized. Instead, a swiping gesture is supported which can be carried out in any region on the touch-sensitive surface and shifts the focus from one selection surface or virtual button to the next. The swiping gesture can be carried out not just in the horizontal and vertical direction but also in a diagonal direction. Diagonal swiping gestures allow a particularly quick selection of the corresponding virtual buttons. Because multiple swiping gestures can be carried out one after the other, the selection of the virtual button can be modified as often as desired. This has the advantage that a user can first explore the user interface before actually entering a character or activating a function. Each selected virtual button is read to the user by means of a screenreader functionality. The method can be implemented on conventional existing hardware, and the user interface is designed in accordance with reliable and user-centered policies.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a simple gesture control system that permits accurate, simple, and secure input of personal identification numbers (PIN) by visually impaired or blind persons at a payment terminal or automatic teller machine. By means of the user interface, invisible keys can be selected by means of simple wiping gestures. Here, any necessity for visual or spoken feedback or localization of operating elements is rendered unnecessary. As a result, blind or visually impaired users can input a secret number by means of touch operation automatically and without outside help. In this way, account is also taken of the statutory requirements in different countries. According to one embodiment of the invention, the selection of the invisible key is separated from the actuation thereof in that, in order to actuate the selected invisible key, an individual touch input, here a typing gesture, is required. This has the advantage that the user can explore the user interface first before he carries out an actual symbol input. The method can be implemented on conventional, already existing hardware. The user interface has been conceived in accordance with reliable and user-centric guidelines.

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for authorising an action on a self-service system. It allows a user (3) to be authorised, using an authorisation server (5), to perform an action on a self-service system (1), wherein the user (3) is equipped with a token (2) for the purpose of identifying him. The method comprises the steps of: production of a first message by the self-service system (1) when the user (3) has identified himself to the self-service system (1) by means of the token (2), and storage of the first message on the token (2), wherein the first message contains data for identifying the user (3) and the self-service system (1); transmission of the first message from the token (2) to the authorisation server (5); checking with the authorisation server (5), taking account of the first message, to determine whether the action can be performed on the self-service system (1) by the user (3); production of a second message on the authorisation server (5) and transmission of the second message from the authorisation server (5) to the token (2), wherein the second message contains data about whether the action can be performed on the self-service system by the user (3); reading of the second message by the self-service system (1) and approval of the action by the self-service system (1) if the second message contains a corresponding authorisation.

Abrégé

A device for separating sheet material has an actuator and a sheet material holder coupled thereto. The actuator is designed for moving the sheet material holder. The sheet material holder is designed for receiving an individual sheet material piece from a sheet material stack in which the sheet material pieces are arranged in a layered manner one above another along a vertical direction. The actuator is designed to set the sheet material holder into an oscillating rotational movement about a rotation axis that lies substantially parallel to the vertical direction, in order to receive the individual sheet material piece from the sheet material stack.
