Accessibility self-service terminal (SST) with devices and modules for custom configurations

A system, comprising:

• a host device integrated in a peripheral housing of a first peripheral device, wherein the host device comprises a processor and an integrated connection within the peripheral housing to the first peripheral;
• a plurality of composite integrated peripheral devices that comprise second peripheral devices;
• a plurality of standalone peripheral devices that comprise third peripheral devices;
• a workspace desk;
• and
• a grab bar support;
• wherein the host device and one or more selections from the second peripherals and the third peripherals are configured as an accessibility self-service terminal (SST), the selected second peripherals and the selected third peripherals adapted to connect to the host device, the host device configured to process self-service transactions on the accessibility SST using the first peripheral device, the selected second peripherals, and the selected third peripherals;
• wherein the peripheral housing and second housings for the selected second peripherals and the third peripherals are arranged on, affixed to, or placed adjacent to the workspace desk and the grab bar support in a layout that supports custom access to the accessibility SST;
• wherein the workspace desk is elevated over a clearance area that permits a wheelchair to be pulled up to the workspace desk;
• wherein the layout is configured to accommodate wheelchair access for performing a self-service transaction on the accessibility SST while a customer is seated in a wheelchair;
• the workspace desk includes sensors for automatically adjusting a height of the workspace desk and an angle of a display relative to the customer based on detecting a height of the customer.

A method, comprising:

• identifying a combination selected from host devices, composite integrated peripheral devices, standalone peripheral devices, and accessory modules, wherein each host device comprises at least one integrated peripheral device;
• arranging housings associated with the combination on or adjacent to one of more of the accessory modules associated with the combination;
• arranging the accessory modules associated with the combination in a layout that defines a clearance area for wheelchair access;
• wherein the accessory modules include a workspace desk that is elevated over the clearance area and a grab support bar;
• wherein the layout is configured to accommodate the wheelchair access for performing a self-service transaction on a self-service terminal (SST) while a customer is seated in a wheelchair;
• connecting the host device of the combination to the composite integrated peripheral devices associated with the combination and the standalone peripherals associated with the combination;
• and
• operating the host device of the combination with the composite integrated peripheral devices of the combination and with the standalone peripheral devices of the combination using the accessory modules of the combination within the layout as an accessibility self-service terminal (SST) that processes self-service transaction for customers in wheelchairs;
• the workspace desk includes sensors for automatically adjusting a height of the workspace desk and an angle of a display relative to the customer based on detecting a height of the customer.
