Embodiment Construction

[0048] Retro-fitted ATM embodiment

[0049] Referring to FIG. 1 , there is shown a schematic diagram of an SST 10 in the form of an ATM according to an embodiment of the present invention. Suitable ATMs include the Personas (trademark) line of ATMs available from NCR Corporation, 1700 S. Patterson Blvd., Dayton, OH, 45479, USA.

[0050] The ATM 10 includes a fraud detection system 12 which is shown in more detail in FIG. 2 . Fraud detection system 12 monitors ATM 10 and generates an alarm if fraud is detected. In the ATM 10, after installation of the ATM 10, the fraud detection system is assembled back. Fraud detection system 12 is an independent system that receives power from ATM 10, monitors ATM 10 (as described in more detail below), but is otherwise independent.

[0051] The ATM also includes a rack 14 in which the fraud detection system 12 and ATM elements 16 are mounted. The elements 16 comprise user interface elements 16a-h and operating elements 16i-k. The opera...

Abstract

A self-service terminal (SST) comprises: a first sensor for sensing a first condition at the SST and a second sensor for sensing a second condition at the SST. The conditions may relate to environmental characteristics, such as humidity or temperature; general characteristics; specific characteristics of the SST; or characteristics of fraudulent devices. The SST also has a memory for storing reference data indicative of conditions at the SST, where at least some of the stored reference data is indicative of conditions during normal operation. The SST has a processor coupled to the first sensor, the second sensor and the memory, where the processor is operable to (i) receive captured data from the sensor, (ii) retrieve the reference data from the memory, and (iii) compare the captured data with the reference data to determine if the captured data is indicative of abnormal conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a self-service terminal ("SST"). Background technique [0002] SST is generally defined as being suitable for allowing users to operate in an unassisted manner (i.e., without human assistance) and / or in an unmanned environment (i.e., not supervised by someone to ensure that the SST is not misused, ), conduct a transaction or access information. For users of SST, the SST deployer may decide to provide human assistance and / or supervision; however, SST is typically designed such that such assistance and / or supervision is not required. [0003] A complex SST typically includes a controller with elements commonly used in a personal computer (PC); however, an SST is substantially different from a general-purpose computing device, such as a PC, and thus, a general-purpose computing device is clearly distinguished from Definition of SST excluded. In addition, PCs are often used in non-common locations, such as homes and offi...
