Abstract
Examples of a system and method for transacting media at a self-service terminal (SST), are generally described. A method may include receiving a PIN on a user interface component of a media interface aperture cover. The method may include causing the media interface aperture cover to retract to dispense or receive media through a media interface aperture.
Claims20
A method for transacting media from a self-service terminal (SST) comprising:
- receiving, on a display screen, an indication from a user including instructions to dispense or receive media;
- prompting the user on the display screen to enter a PIN on a user interface component physically integrated into a media interface aperture cover;
- receiving, at a processor, the PIN via the user interface component;
- retracting, by the processor, the media interface aperture cover from a position covering a media interface aperture to a position to allow media to be dispensed or received through the media interface aperture of the SST;
- and
- dispensing or receiving media through the media interface aperture of the SST in response to the media interface aperture cover retracting.
At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for transacting media from a self-service terminal (SST), which when executed by processing circuitry causes the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, via a display screen, an indication from a user including instructions to dispense or receive media;
- prompting the user on the display screen to enter a PIN on a user interface component physically integrated into a media interface aperture cover;
- receiving the PIN via the user interface component;
- retracting the media interface aperture cover from a position covering a media interface aperture to a position to allow media to be dispensed or received through the media interface aperture of the SST;
- and
- dispensing or receiving media through the media interface aperture of the SST in response to the media interface aperture cover retracting.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving, via a display screen, an indication from a user including instructions to dispense or receive media;
- means for prompting the user on the display screen to enter a PIN on a user interface component physically integrated into a media interface aperture cover;
- means for receiving the PIN via the user interface component;
- means for retracting the media interface aperture cover from a position covering a media interface aperture to a position to allow media to be dispensed or received through the media interface aperture of the apparatus;
- and
- means for dispensing or receiving media through the media interface aperture of the apparatus in response to the media interface aperture cover retracting.
