US 2006/0136336 A1 · Automated banking machine and system

Abstract

An automated banking machine includes at least one browser and transaction function devices, including a currency dispenser device. The machine can be operated in a modified mode in response to transactions that are no longer available. A browser can be used to communicate with one or more servers. Data indicative of the availability of the certain transaction functional devices can be communicated to a server. One or more mark up language documents containing data and/or instructions that correspond to the operational availability to the machine of the transaction functional devices can be accessed. The machine can then be operated responsive to the data and/or instructions. For example, the machine may change its display output to a customer to reflect its current transaction functional device status. Customer transaction options can be readily changed via machine/server communication on a machine by machine basis.
