Combined shutter and user interface pin entry
Examples of a system and method for transacting media at a self-service terminal (SST), are generally described. A method may include receiving a PIN on a user interface component of a media interface aperture cover. The method may include causing the media interface aperture cover to retract to dispense or receive media through a media interface aperture.
1 . A method for transacting media from a self-service terminal (SST) comprising:
receiving, on a display screen, an indication from a user including instructions to dispense or receive media;
prompting the user on the display screen to enter a PIN on a user interface component physically integrated into a media interface aperture cover;
receiving, at a processor, the PIN via the user interface component;
retracting, by the processor, the media interface aperture cover from a position covering a media interface aperture to a position to allow media to be dispensed or received through the media interface aperture of the SST; and
dispensing or receiving media through the media interface aperture of the SST in response to the media interface aperture cover retracting.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising disabling the user interface component when the media interface aperture cover retracts.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SST is a recycler.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing an encrypted touch screen of the user interface component to be wiped clean by the SST.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the encrypted touch screen is wiped clean by a housing of a media transaction component when the media interface aperture cover retracts to open the media interface aperture.
6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the encrypted touch screen is wiped clean by a housing of a media transaction component when the media interface aperture cover reengages to cover the media interface aperture.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SST is an automated teller machine (ATM).
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the media is cash.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the display screen is on the SST.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein prompting the user includes playing audio.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein causing the media interface aperture cover to retract includes causing the user interface component to become hidden or inaccessible.
12 . At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for transacting media from a self-service terminal (SST), which when executed by processing circuitry causes the processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via a display screen, an indication from a user including instructions to dispense or receive media;
prompting the user on the display screen to enter a PIN on a user interface component physically integrated into a media interface aperture cover;
receiving the PIN via the user interface component;
retracting the media interface aperture cover from a position covering a media interface aperture to a position to allow media to be dispensed or received through the media interface aperture of the SST; and
dispensing or receiving media through the media interface aperture of the SST in response to the media interface aperture cover retracting.
13 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further comprise disabling the user interface component when the media interface aperture cover retracts.
14 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the SST is a recycler.
15 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further comprise causing an encrypted touch screen of the user interface component to be wiped clean by the SST.
16 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the SST is an automated teller machine (ATM).
17 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the media is cash.
18 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the display screen is on the SST.
19 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein causing the media interface aperture cover to retract includes causing the user interface component to become hidden or inaccessible.
20 . An apparatus comprising:
means for receiving, via a display screen, an indication from a user including instructions to dispense or receive media;
means for prompting the user on the display screen to enter a PIN on a user interface component physically integrated into a media interface aperture cover;
means for receiving the PIN via the user interface component;
means for retracting the media interface aperture cover from a position covering a media interface aperture to a position to allow media to be dispensed or received through the media interface aperture of the apparatus; and
means for dispensing or receiving media through the media interface aperture of the apparatus in response to the media interface aperture cover retracting.
