Method and system for implementing an ATM phone home and scrapper mapping tool
The invention relates to a computer implemented system that automates software ATM deployment and configuration. The innovative system initiates a software build process for one or more remote ATM devices; receives, from a remote ATM device, a self-identification request to retrieve configuration data specific to the requesting remote ATM device; accesses, at the datacenter, the configuration data for the remote ATM device from the standardized repository; transmits the configuration data; compares the self-identification request from the remote ATM device with the configuration data from the standardized repository; and remotely executes the software build process on the remote ATM device.

receiving, from the one or more remote ATM devices, a self-identification request to retrieve configuration data specific to the requesting remote ATM device and a status update when the one or more ATM devices reaches a milestone; wherein the self-identification request and the status update are initiated via a client side script of the one or more remote ATM device; wherein the milestone is one of a business as usual install status and a business as usual in-service status;
initiating a software build process for one or more remote ATM devices in response to the self-identification request;
accessing, at the datacenter, the configuration data for the one or more remote ATM devices from the standardized repository; wherein the configuration data comprises a build version that identifies a software stack level for a software build for each of the one or more remote ATM devices;
transmitting the configuration data to the one or more remote ATM devices;
comparing the self-identification request from the one or more remote ATM devices with the configuration data from the standardized repository;
remotely executing by a user command at the datacenter, the software build process for the one or more remote ATM devices based on the configuration data;
during the software build process, displaying on a graphical user interface at the datacenter, configuration data associated with the build of the one or more ATM devices;
modifying, by a user at the datacenter, the configuration data in real time during the software build process.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the configuration data comprises ATM device specific attributes.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the ATM device specific attributes comprises ATM location, screen orientation, ATM manufacturer, ATM model.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the phone home tool is further configured to perform the step of: responsive to the comparing step, performing a synchronization process on the configuration data.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the phone home tool maintains business logic, operating software logic and build logic to manage multiple software releases.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the self-identification request comprises a MAC address that uniquely identifies the one or more remote ATM devices.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the software build process relates to a software update on the one or more remote ATM devices.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the software build process comprises multiple levels of software.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the multiple levels of software comprises a software level, a patching level and a maintenance level.
10. A computer implemented method that automates remote ATM deployment from a phone home tool at a datacenter that communicates via a communication network to one or more remote ATM devices, the computer implemented method comprising the steps of:
receiving, from the one or more remote ATM devices, a self-identification request to retrieve configuration data specific to the requesting remote ATM device and a status update when the one or more ATM devices reaches a milestone; wherein the self-identification request and the status update are initiated via a client side script of the one or more remote ATM device; wherein the milestone is one of a business as usual install status and a business as usual in-service status;
initiating a software build process for one or more remote ATM devices in response to the self-identification request;
accessing, at the datacenter, the configuration data for the one or more remote ATM devices from the standardized repository; wherein the configuration data comprises a build version that identifies a software stack level for a software build for each of the one or more remote ATM devices;
transmitting the configuration data to the one or more remote ATM devices;
comparing the self-identification request from the one or more remote ATM devices with the configuration data from the standardized repository;
remotely executing by a user command at the datacenter, the software build process on the one or more remote ATM devices based on the configuration data;
during the software build process, displaying on a graphical user interface at the datacenter, configuration data associated with the build of the one or more ATM devices; and
modifying, by a user at the datacenter, the configuration data in real time during the software build process.
