Systems and methods for controlling an automated transaction machine

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a query language processing (QLP) circuitry in communication with an automated transaction machine (ATM), a query command signal;
• generating, by the QLP circuitry based on the query command signal and a tree-structured menu of the ATM, a set of control signals configured to instruct the ATM to perform at least one function by crawling the tree-structured menu of the ATM, wherein the tree-structured menu of the ATM is a menu comprised of multiple screens in which advancement from a current screen to a next screen or previous screen is made via a selection of a particular option presented on the current screen, wherein each control signal of the set of control signals is configured to provide a same signal as provided had a user of the ATM selected the particular option via an on-screen menu selection on the ATM, and wherein the set of control signals is configured to execute steps of the tree-structured menu in an order defined by the tree-structured menu;
• transmitting, by the QLP circuitry to an ATM input signal processing interface of the ATM, the set of control signals, wherein the set of control signals, when executed, causes display of the advancement of the tree-structured menu from a first screen to one or more subsequent screens in accordance with performance of the at least one function;
• receiving, by a text to speech (TTS) circuitry in communication with the ATM, a response signal generated in response to the set of control signals;
• generating, by the TTS circuitry and based on the response signal, electronic information indicative of a vocal representation of the response signal;
• and
• transmitting, by the TTS circuitry to the ATM input signal processing interface of the ATM, the electronic information indicative of the vocal representation of the response signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry in communication with an automated transaction machine (ATM) to:

• receive a query command signal;
• generate, based on the query command signal and a tree-structured menu of the ATM, a set of control signals configured to instruct the ATM to perform at least one function by crawling the tree-structured menu of the ATM, wherein the tree-structured menu of the ATM is a menu comprised of multiple screens in which advancement from a current screen to a next screen is made via a selection of a particular option presented on the current screen, wherein each control signal of the set of control signals is configured to provide a same signal as provided had a user of the ATM selected the particular option via an on-screen menu selection on the ATM, and wherein the set of control signals is configured to execute steps of the tree-structured menu in an order defined by the tree-structured menu;
• transmit, to an ATM input signal processing interface of the ATM, the set of control signals, wherein the set of control signals, when executed, causes display of the advancement of the tree-structured menu from a first screen to one or more subsequent screens in accordance with the performance of the at least one function;
• receive a response signal generated in response to the set of control signals;
• generate, based on the response signal, electronic information indicative of a vocal representation of the response signal;
• and
• transmit, to the ATM input signal processing interface of the ATM, the electronic information indicative of the vocal representation of the response signal.
