Solution Overview

Problem

Current Automated Teller Machine (ATM) deposit processes are time-consuming and laborious for customers, as they manually verify large cash and check deposits using text-based tables, which are difficult to comprehend and verify accurately.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a visual display manager that presents a graphical breakdown of deposit transactions, including banknotes and checks, on a touchscreen display, allowing customers to interactively verify and confirm their deposits through stacked representations and text labels, with options to edit or return items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a text-based table is used to display deposit summary, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation and verification time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of verificationVSAvoidverification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates visual representations (copies) of the physical currency items deposited. Each banknote and check is represented by a graphical icon on the display screen, allowing customers to visually verify their deposits without manually counting physical items. This visual copying transforms the verification process from manual text/table checking to intuitive visual recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical/manual verification process with an automated visual display system. Instead of requiring customers to manually count and verify each item against a text table, the system automatically generates and displays visual representations of all deposited items, substituting manual mechanical verification with automated visual presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If a graphical format is used to present item breakdown, then the ease of operation improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of verificationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates simplified visual copies of complex deposit information. Instead of displaying raw transaction data in complex tables, the system generates simplified graphical representations (icons) that capture essential information about each deposited item, making the complex deposit summary visually accessible and easy to verify.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the deposit summary into individual visual representations for each item type (banknotes and checks). Each item is displayed as a separate graphical element with its denomination and quantity clearly indicated, breaking down the complex overall summary into manageable, easily comparable visual units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A multiple banknote and/or check deposit transaction at a Self-Service Terminal (SST) permits visual customer feedback during the transaction for depicting categories and denominations associated with the transaction. Moreover, an interface rendered with the visual customer feedback permits the customer to review, edit, accept, or abort the transaction.
