Presence aware terminals

A terminal comprising:

• a display device;
• at least one network interface device;
• a short-range radio transceiver device;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device storing instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to perform data processing activities, the data processing activities comprising:
• transmitting, via the short-range radio transceiver device, a first signal encoded with data identifying a terminal-type;
• receiving, via one of the short-range radio transceiver devices and the at least one network interface device in response to the transmitted first signal, a second signal from a mobile device encoded with data including an account identifier;
• automatically logging the user into an account associated with the account identifier for a self-service transaction at the terminal and unlocking the terminal for interaction with the user during the self-service transaction based on a verification that the user has already provided a password or biometric input on the mobile device;
• and
• presenting, on the display device of the terminal, a user interface to facilitate user interaction with the account of the account identifier received from the mobile device, wherein presenting the user interface to facilities user interaction with the account of the account identifier includes:
• retrieving, from a database via the at least one network interface device, account data based on the account identifier;
• populating the user interface with at least a portion of the retrieved account data to enable the user interaction with the account of the account identifier, wherein the account data is retrieved and the user interface is populated and presented only when a strength of the second signal meets a threshold signal strength indicating a device that transmitted the second signal is in close proximity to the terminal;
• and
• wherein:
• the account data is retrieved and the user interface is presented only when the strength of the second signal meets the threshold signal strength indicating a device that transmitted the second signal is in close proximity to a terminal performing the method;
• and
• the account data is presented after the user interface uses a camera of the terminal to capture a view of a face of the user and associates the face with the account data of the user;
• the first signal and the second signal are transmitted and received, respectively, via a short-range radio transceiver device included within a terminal on which the method is performed;
• and
• the terminal is a self-service terminal on which the self-service transaction associated with the account of the account identifier is initiated and payment is received via a contactless payment device.
