Patent ID: 8922498

Claim:
An automated teller machine (ATM) comprising: an ATM display arranged to display a plurality of ATM customer selectable objects for an ATM customer; a camera arranged to capture a first image of an area remote from the ATM and a second image of the ATM customer; a touch sensitive layer overlaying the display; and a processor arranged to: receive an alignment signal indicative of the position of an ATM customer relative to the display; based upon the alignment signal, generate a parallax correction factor to correct for parallax error due to the position of the ATM customer relative to the display; receive a coordinate signal indicative of a position of an ATM customer interaction with the touch sensitive layer; map the co-ordinates of the ATM customer interaction with the touch sensitive layer to display co-ordinates; based upon the generated parallax correction factor, determine if the display co-ordinates of the ATM customer interaction correspond to the display co-ordinates of one of the plurality of ATM customer-selectable objects; and move at least some of the plurality of ATM customer-selectable objects from the current position on the display to a different position on the display when a determination is made that the display co-ordinates of the ATM customer interaction do not correspond to the display coordinates of the one of the plurality of ATM customer-selectable objects, and thereby to correct for parallax error due to the position of the ATM customer relative to the display; wherein (i) the alignment signal is indicative of the location of the ATM customer's head relative to the display based upon the second image, and (ii) the first image is captured such that the parallax correction factor to correct for parallax error due to the position of the ATM customer relative to the display is pre-staged prior to the ATM customer commencing the ATM transaction at the ATM.
