Patent ID: 7613643

Claim:
An automated transaction machine apparatus comprising: at least one computer; a plurality of transaction function devices in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein at least one of the transaction function devices includes a cash dispenser; a first input device of a first type in operative connection with the at least one computer; a second input device of a second type in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the first type and the second type are different types of input devices; a first output device in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the first input device is associated with the first output device; a second output device in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the second input device is associated with the second output device; a common instruction document in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the common instruction document includes command instructions that define features for producing a user interface that is operative to cause at least one of the transaction function devices to operate, wherein the command instructions include at least one XML tag; and at least one transaction machine interface software component in operative connection with the at least one computer, wherein the at least one transaction machine interface software component is operative to cause the at least one computer to access the common instruction document, wherein the at least one transaction machine interface software component is further operative to cause the at least one computer to output through the first output device a first user interface responsive to the command instructions and the first type of the first input device, wherein the first user interface includes at least one first visible element that corresponds to at least one input receivable through the first type of input device, wherein the at least one transaction machine interface software component is further operative to cause the at least one computer to output through the second output device a second user interface responsive to the command instructions and the second type of the second input device, wherein the second user interface includes at least one second visual element that corresponds to at least one input receivable through the second type of input device, and wherein the at least one transaction machine interface software component is operative to cause the at least one computer to operate the at least one transaction function device responsive to a first input through the first input device provided when the first user interface is being outputted through the first output device, and wherein the at least one transaction machine interface software component is operative to cause the at least one computer to operate the at least one transaction function device responsive to a second input through the second input device provided when the second user interface is being outputted through the second output device.
