Title: Keypad for generating code with scrambled displayed key sequence
Inventor: MACALONAN ROBERT
IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2002-05-04
Abstract: A keypad or keyboard (20, Fig. 4) is used to enter a code to enable an action to be effected, e.g. a cash withdrawal from an ATM or unlocking of a door locked by a security device. Each key contains a 7-segment type LED displaying a number, each driven by a multiplexer (22, Fig. 4) which receives signals from an EPROM (23, Fig. 4) in which random numbers are stored in the form of Data Blocks. Initially the LEDs show a conventional key layout, Fig. 6. In an ATM embodiment, after the user has entered a valid card, the key sequence displayed on the keypad is randomised, Fig. 7. After the user has successfully entered their PIN, the displayed key sequence can be returned to the conventional layout, Fig. 8, to facilitate keying for cash withdrawal. It is thus made more difficult for an unscrupulous person to observe and remember a code entered via the keypad.
