Claims:
What is claimed is:

1. An Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) comprising:

a housing; and

a control electronics package disposed in the housing and including a processor and a plurality of input/output ports;

where, the control electronics package is operable to time limit a secure transaction.

2. The ATM of Claim 1 where time limit is 10 seconds or less.

3. The ATM of claim 4 where the secure transaction is cancelled if authorization is not received from a remote computer before the expiration of the time limit.

4. The ATM of Claim 2 where the secure financial transaction concludes in cash dispensing.

5. The ATM of Claim 1 further comprising at least one biometric security component and where a beginning of the time limit begins with transaction authorization related to activity from the biometric security component.

6. The ATM of Claim 5 where the biometric security component is an iris scan.

7. The ATM of Claim 5 where the biometric security component is a finger print reader.

8. The ATM of Claim 5 where the time limit is 10 seconds or less.

9. The ATM of claim 5 where the secure transaction is cancelled if authorization is not received from a remote computer before the expiration of the time limit.

10. The ATM of Claim 1 where the time limit begins with a request to a remote computer.

11. The ATM of Claim 10 where the ATM further comprises at least one biometric security component and where the request initiates after activity from the biometric security component.

12. The ATM of claim 10 where the secure transaction is cancelled if authorization is not received from the remote computer before the expiration of the time limit.

13. The ATM of claim 11 where the secure transaction is cancelled if authorization is not received from the remote computer before the expiration of the time limit.

AUTOMATED TRANSACTION MACHINE

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/246,038 filed 24 October 2015, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

BACKGROUND

[0002] This relates in general to automated transaction machines (ATMs). For example, such ATMs may include self-service financial transaction terminals for currency or cash dispensing, accepting, or recycling, which are sometimes referred to as "self-service terminals" or simply "terminals".

SUMMARY

[0003] This relates more specifically to an Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) that may include time limited secure transactions. For example, a secure financial transaction may be complete in 10 seconds or less. Such transactions may include cash dispensing.

[0004] Such transactions may require biometric authorization. As such, This also relates more specifically to an ATM that may include at least one biometric security component. For example, the component may be an iris scan.

[0005] Various aspects will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following

detailed description and the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0006] Fig. 1 is a right-front perspective view of an Automated Transaction Machine (ATM) according to one embodiment.

[0007] Fig. 2 is left-back perspective view of the ATM of Fig.1.

[0008] Fig. 3 is a front view of the ATM of Fig.1.

[0009] Fig. 4 is view of the right side of the ATM of Fig.1.

[0010] Fig. 5 is view of the left side of the ATM of Fig.1.

[0011] Fig. 6 is a back view of the ATM of Fig.1.

[0012] Fig. 7 is a top view of the ATM of Fig.1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] Referring now to the drawings, there is illustrated in FIGS. 1-8, an Automated

Transaction Machine (ATM). A housing or cabinet includes generally parallel side panels, a rear panel, a top panel, bottom panel, and a front fascia, which projects or extends from a front of the housing. The ATM may include a chest or safe in a lower portion, such as for example a UL 13 mm safe, with currency cassettes located within the chest or safe. Also located within the housing, preferably within an upper portion, are any of the devices and modules desired to carry out various self-service financial transactions for which the ATM is configured, including but not limited to card reading, PIN entry and verification, transaction request and approval, currency dispense by retrieval of notes from one or more cassettes, transport and presentation of currency to the customer (not all shown) .

[0014] .In at least one embodiment the ATM a computer to carry out transactions. Additionally the ATM may include a component(s) to dispense cash. [0015] For further example, in at least one embodiment the AMT may include any one of an orifice through which cash may be dispensed; a wireless transmitter; a wireless receiver. The ATM may or may not include any of the following: a screen that is configured to display alphanumeric characters; a card reader operable to read card data that can be used to identify a financial account; a printer; a component configured to dispense paper receipts; and user-interface buttons.

[0016] In one method of operation of the ATM may include the steps of : an automated

transaction machine receiving a wireless signal from a mobile device, wherein the automated transaction machine has a computer; a component configured to dispense cash; an orifice through which cash may be dispensed; a wireless transmitter; a wireless receiver;

[0017] The ATM may include time limited secure transactions. For example, a secure financial transaction may be complete in 10 seconds or less. Such a transaction may include cash dispensing.

[0018] The ATM may include at least one biometric security component. For example, the component may be an iris scanner or a fingerprint identifier.

[0019] In one embodiment the ATM includes a housing and a control electronics package

disposed in the housing. The control electronics package includes a processor and a plurality of input/output ports. The control electronics package is operable to time limit a secure transaction of the ATM.

[0020] For example, the time limit of the secure transaction may be 10 seconds or less. The secure transaction may be cancelled if authorization is not received from a remote computer before the expiration of the time limit. The secure transaction may cancelled if authorization to proceed is not received from a remote computer, such as a server on the ATM network, a computer from a host bank, or other transaction authorizing compute before the expiration of the time limit. The secure financial transaction may conclude in cash dispensing. [0021] The ATM may further include at least one biometric security component and a beginning of the time limit may begin with a transaction authorization related to activity from the biometric security component. The biometric security component may be an iris scanner, a finger print reader, or any other suitable component.

[0022] The time limit may begin with a request to a remote computer. The request may initiate after activity from the biometric security component. The secure transaction may be cancelled if authorization is not received from the remote computer before the expiration of the time limit.

[0023] While principles and modes of operation have been explained and illustrated with regard to particular embodiments, it must be understood, however, that this may be practiced otherwise than as specifically explained and illustrated without departing from its spirit or scope.
