Automated banking machine that operates responsive to data read from data bearing records

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of instructions with instructions encoded thereon for execution by a processor, and when executed operable to:

• communicate with at least one data store,
• wherein the at least one data store includes data that associates programs with automated banking machines that are each operable to carry out transactions involving financial accounts identifiable at least in part by user data read by at least one data reader, wherein the programs are used by at least one of the automated banking machines,
• wherein the programs include a particular program,
• wherein the data associates the particular program with at least one of the automated banking machines,
• wherein the at least one automated banking machine includes a first machine,
• wherein the at least one automated banking machine includes a second machine,
• wherein the at least one data store includes data that associates a respective automated banking machine with respective contact information.
• wherein the at least one data store includes data that links first contact information with the first machine,
• wherein the at least one data store includes data that links second contact information with the second machine,
• wherein the at least one data store includes update data that indicates which respective program updates were provided to which respective automated banking machines;
• receive information indicative that an update is available for the particular program;
• responsive at least in part to receiving the information, determine from the at least one data store that the particular program is associated with at least the first contact information and the second contact information,
• wherein the at least one computer is operable responsive at least in part to the determination, to automatically cause:
• provide the update to the first machine through use of the first contact information;
• provide the update to the second machine through use of the second contact information;
• and
• modify the update data to indicate that the first machine was provided the update, and the second machine was provided the update.

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium of instructions with instructions encoded thereon for execution by a processor, and when executed operable to:

• access data from at least one data store;
• wherein the data respectively links control programs with controllers of automated banking machines that are each operable to carry out transactions involving financial accounts identifiable at least in part by user data read by at least one data reader;
• wherein the control programs are used by at least one of the controllers;
• determine for a respective control program, the respective contact information for the respective controller that uses the respective control program;
• responsive at least in part to an update being available for a first program of the control programs, to determine through use of the data, the respective contact information for each respective controller that uses the first program;
• responsive at least in part to determining the respective contact information for the controllers that uses the first program, to:
• automatically cause the update for the first program to be provided to controllers that uses the first program, and
• provide at least one record that indicates which of the automated banking machines were updated with respect to the first program:
• responsive at least in part to an update being available for a second program of the control programs. to determine through use of the data, the respective contact information for controllers that uses the second program,
• wherein the at least one computer is further operable responsive at least in part to determining the respective contact information for each respective controller that uses the second program, to:
• automatically cause the update for the second program to be provided to controllers that uses the second program, and
• provide at least one record that indicates which of the automated banking machines were updated with respect to the second program.
