US 12,322,258 B2 · Systems and methods for automated teller machine-based communication

Abstract

Systems, and methods for communicating during a calamity include a processing system of a first ATM that is communicably coupled via an ATM network to a second ATM. The first ATM includes an external network connection separate from the ATM network. The processing system can modify the first ATM from a first mode to a second mode responsive to detecting an event indicative of a calamity. The processing system can receive a user input to send a message to an address. The processing system can transmit the message to the second ATM via the ATM network, to cause the second ATM to route the message to the address. The processing system can receive a response to the message via the ATM network from the second ATM. The processing system can display the response to the message on a user interface of the first ATM.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a processing system of a first automated teller machine (ATM), the first ATM communicably coupled via an ATM network to a second ATM, and the first ATM having a connection with an external network separate from the ATM network, wherein the processing system is configured to:
receive, by the processing system while the first ATM is in an external communication mode, a user input to send a message to an address;
determine, by the processing system, a connection status of the first ATM to the external network;
and
transmit, by the processing system, the message, via at least one of the ATM network to the second ATM or via the external network, for routing to the address, according to the connection status.
