Solution Overview

Problem

Current ATM management systems lack efficient methods for providing service technicians with comprehensive and multimedia-rich maintenance instructions, leading to suboptimal maintenance processes.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method for ATM management that determines identifying information for an ATM, generates a service script with maintenance information, identifies associated multimedia elements, and presents the script and multimedia on an end user device, enhancing the maintenance process with interactive and visual guidance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional text-only maintenance instructions are used, then the system complexity remains low, but the maintenance effectiveness and error reduction are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple types of information (text instructions, images, videos, diagrams) into a single integrated service script delivered through one application. This merging of diverse media types resolves the contradiction by providing comprehensive multimedia guidance without requiring multiple separate systems, thus improving maintenance effectiveness while keeping system complexity manageable through unified delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The service script functions as a universal container that can hold and deliver multiple types of content (text, images, videos, diagrams) through a single interface. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide rich multimedia instructions without requiring separate specialized systems for each media type, thereby improving reliability while avoiding excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If detailed multimedia instructions are provided, then maintenance speed and accuracy improve, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance speedVSAvoidinformation processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The service script is prepared and configured in advance with all necessary multimedia elements (text, images, videos, diagrams) organized and ready for delivery. This preliminary action allows the maintenance technician to receive comprehensive instructions without real-time processing delays, improving maintenance speed while the actual processing burden is shifted to the pre-preparation phase rather than during maintenance execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for ATM management. An apparatus is configured to determine identifying information for an automated teller machine (ATM) that is being managed, determine a service script for the ATM, the service script comprising information for maintaining the ATM, identify multimedia elements associated with the information in the service script, and present the service script and the associated multimedia elements on an end user device.
