One embodiment provides a transit cassette attachment and detachment structure of an automated teller machine, the transit cassette attachment and detachment structure including: a transit cassette in which banknotes are stored for replenishment or settlement of banknotes; a temporary storage part storing the transit cassette for the transit cassette to enter and exit in an up-down direction; a power transmission part transmitting power for storing banknotes in the transit cassette attached to the temporary storage part or separating banknotes from the transit cassette; and a clutch part moving the power transmission part connected to the transit cassette to an outer side of an entry / exit path of the transit cassette in the up-down direction to prevent interference between the transit cassette and the power transmission part when the transit cassette is attached to and detached from the temporary storage part.

One embodiment provides a conveyance module opening and closing device of an automated teller machine, the conveyance module opening and closing device including a fixed frame; a first conveyance module that is provided at one side portion of the fixed frame and has a locking pin formed thereon; a second conveyance module provided at the other side portion of the fixed frame, connected to be stacked with one portion of the first conveyance module, and connected to the fixed frame via a rotating shaft; a rotary member that is provided to be rotatable about a hinge shaft at one side of the second conveyance module and has a catching part, which is configured to be caught to or released from the locking pin, and a guide pin formed thereon; and a guide member that is coupled to the fixed frame and has a guide hole configured to guide movement of the guide pin formed to induce the locking pin and the rotary member to be unlocked when the first conveyance module rotates upward.

Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for using an anomaly deterrent sensor within a self-service machine for dispensing physical items. The present disclosure is configured to: detect an interaction between a payment instrument with available resources and a self-service machine for dispensing physical items; receive an anomaly notification from an anomaly deterrent sensor within the self-service machine for dispensing physical items wherein the anomaly notification is associated with forced entry into the self-service machine, wherein the anomaly deterrent sensor detects forced entry into a physical item dispensing area within the self-service machine during the interaction between the payment instrument and self-service machine; and trigger a set of security measures associated with the self-service machine for dispensing physical items upon reception of the anomaly notification originating from the anomaly deterrent sensor, wherein the set of security measures comprises playing a pre-recorded alarm.

A staging plate for an automated teller machine (ATM) and an automated teller machine (ATM) are disclosed. The staging plate includes a first surface configured to support media inserted into a pocket of the ATM; and a second surface connected to the first surface, an exterior angle between the first surface and the second surface being greater than 180 degrees and less than 270 degrees, wherein the second surface is configured to guide media handled by a user to the first surface.

A modular ATM is disclosed herein and can include a safe with a first port, at least one currency cassette and dispenser both positioned in the safe, a recycler, and a plurality of linking transport assemblies. The dispenser can move banknotes between the cassette and the first port. The recycler can be positioned on the safe, have second and third ports, and move banknotes between the second and third ports. The recycler can be positionable in a plurality of different orientations and offsets relative to the safe. The plurality of linking transport assemblies can each be individually engageable with the recycler. Each of the linking transport assembly moves banknotes between the first port of the safe and the second port of the recycler. Each linking transport assembly is individually positionable between the safe and the recycler.

At least one media deflector and an automated teller machine are disclosed. The media deflector comprises a spar configured to: connect to the roof plate; and rotate, through a first position to a second position, with respect to the roof plate when connected to the roof plate; and a set of fingers connected to the spar, a finger in the set of fingers including: a proximal portion configured to connect to the spar; a distal portion; and a connecting portion configured to: connect the proximal portion and the distal portion; and position the distal portion on an axis different than the proximal portion.

According to one embodiment, there is provided an apparatus for opening, closing, and locking a shutter of an automated teller machine, including a shutter that opens or closes a deposit / withdrawal unit of an automated teller machine, a motor that provides a driving force to reciprocate the shutter, a holder that reciprocates by receiving the driving force of the motor, a first roller, a second roller, and a third roller that move in conjunction with the holder, a two-section link including a first link whose both ends are coupled to the first and third rollers and a second link whose both ends are coupled to the second and third rollers and which is connected to the first link, a shutter coupling frame connecting the two-section link to the shutter, a first rail along which the first and second rollers reciprocate horizontally, and a second rail including a horizontal section along which the third roller moves horizontally and an inclined section which is connected to the horizontal section and formed to be inclined upward and in which the third roller moves in an inclined direction.

A through-the-wall automated teller machine (ATM) and a method are disclosed. The through-the-wall automated teller machine (ATM) comprises: a fan; at least one light-emitting diode (LED); and a thermoelectric generator (TEG) configured to harness a temperature difference between an interior portion of the through-the-wall ATM and an environment external to the through-the-wall ATM to generate energy to power the fan and the at least one LED, the TEG including a first face exposed to the interior portion of the through-the-wall ATM and a second face opposite the first face, the second face exposed to the environment.

A pocket lower cover and an automated teller machine (ATM) are disclosed. The pocket lower cover includes a first surface configured to mount the pocket lower cover onto the ATM in a particular orientation with respect to a pocket of the ATM; a second surface configured to connect the first surface to a staging plate of the ATM when the pocket lower cover is mounted to the ATM in the particular orientation, the second surface connected to the first surface by an interior angle that is greater than ninety degrees; and a filler device configured to prevent paper media from fitting between the first surface and a shutter of the ATM configured to move to block or enable access to the pocket by a user.
