RELATED APPLICATIONS

Benefit is claimed to India Provisional Application No. 4361/CHE/2011, entitled "ATM LOCATOR" by DWIVEDY, Amlana Kumar et al. filed on 13th December 2011, which is herein incorporated in its entirety by reference for all purposes.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to automated banking machines. More particularly the invention relates to location based services for locating

Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) in service.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In existing ATMs, account holders or users get an "Out of Service" message displayed in the ATM computer display if the machine is not working or it does not have cash to dispense. Before reaching the ATM, the user is unaware whether the ATM is functioning (i.e. ATM in service) or not and on reaching the machine, if he finds that it is out of service or there are insufficient funds, he has to locate another ATM to withdraw cash. There are no mechanisms existing today through which the user can easily identify a nearby ATM in service, having sufficient cash and the required currency denominations as per the choice of the account holder. Furthermore, the user has no options to find out the ATM in service located on his driving route. Even if some banks display addresses of nearby ATMs, it is inconvenient for an account holder to search and locate the ATM in service of his choice. There exists a need to provide facilities to the user to identify and easily reach the nearest ATM in service to serve all his needs.

Figure 1 is a flow diagram illustrating the steps involved in determining at least one ATM in service 504 from one or more ATMs located in a geographical area 502 based on a set of parameters, according to one embodiment.

At step 106, a device 102 receives input of a set of parameters. The device 102 is communicatively coupled with a remoter server 104 via a communication network (e.g. Wi-Fi®, GPRS, etc.). The set of parameters comprises an ATM associated with a particular bank, geographical location of the user, a geographical area driving directions, amount of cash to be withdrawn, and currency denominations. For example, a user or account holder wishes to locate an ATM associated with HSBC Bank, capable of dispensing of INR 10,000.00 in currency denominations of 500 within 1km radius of his location.

At step 108, the device 104 sends the set of parameters to the remote server 104 via the communication network. At step 110, the remote server 104 locates one or more ATMs in the geographical area 502. For example, the remote server locates all the ATMs associated with HSBC Bank present in the geographical area 502 based on the set of parameters. At step 112, the remote server 104 determines at least one ATM in service 504 from the located ATMs in the geographical area 502. The ATM in service 504 Includes at least one of an ATM which is not out of order, ATM having enough cash to meet the requirement of the user, and ATM having currency in such denominations to meet the cash requirement of the user. The ATM out of service 506 includes at least one of an ATM which is out of order, ATM not having enough cash to meet the requirement of the user, and ATM not having currency in such denominations to meet the cash requirement of the user based on the set of parameters. In one embodiment, the remote server 104 has access to an ATM bank database via the communication network, wherein the ATM bank database is periodically updated with respect to the information associated with the ATMs. In an alternate embodiment, the remote server 104 may itself has the ATM bank database. The information associated with the ATMs includes status of the ATM, the amount of cash available with the ATM, and currency denominations of the available cash with the ATM, location of the ATM, and distance between geographical location of the user and the geographical location of the at least one ATM in service 504. For example, once the remote server 104 receives the set of parameters from the device 102, it locates all the ATMs (both ATMs out of service 506 and ATMs in service 504) present in the geographical area 502 as specified in the set of parameters. Further, the remote server 104 compares the received set of parameters and the information associated with the ATMs located in the geographical area 502 present in the ATM bank database and based on the outcome at least one ATM in service 504 is determined from all the ATMs located with the geographical area 502. For example, the ATMs which could meet with the requirements specified in the set of parameters are considered as the ATM in service 504.

At step 114, the remote server 104 sends the information associated with the at least one ATM in service 504 located in the geographical area 502 to the device 102 over the communication network. The information associated with the at least on ATM in service 504 includes such as, but not limiting to, status of the at least one ATM in service, and distance between geographical location of the user and the geographical location of the at least one ATM in service 504.

At step 116, the device 102 outputs the received information associated with the at least one ATM in service 504 located in the geographical area 502.

In one embodiment, the device 102 may be a hand held computing device capable of communicating wirelessly with the remote server 104 via the communication network, wherein the information associated with the at least one ATM in service 504 located in the geographical area 502 is outputted by displaying information associated with the at least one ATM in service 504 on a graphical user interface (GUI). Alternatively, the hand held device may also display geographical location of the at least one ATM in service on a digital map. For example, if the user wishes to know the ATMs in service 504 and their location in the geographical area 502 then even before starting his journey towards the ATM for withdrawing cash he sends the set of parameters to the remote server 104 using the hand held computing device and thereafter the hand held computing device receives the information associated with the ATM in service 504 located in a geographical area 502 from the remote server 104.

Further, the hand held computing device displays a digital map similar to the map as shown in Figure 5 on its display screen informing the user about the location of the ATMs in service 504 in a geographical area. Hence, the user can easily select the ATM of his preference.

In an alternate embodiment, the hand held computing device can be tracked and the user is guided with the driving directions to arrive at the selected ATM in service 504. For tracking the hand held computing device, the GPS enabled device of the user will communicate its location to the remoter server 104 over the wireless communication network. If the hand held computing device is not GPS enabled, then other location identification technologies such as triangulation, cell id etc. are used to achieve the purpose of tracking the location of the user.

In another embodiment, the device 102 may be an ATM machine, wherein the information associated with the ATMs in service 504 is outputted by displaying a digital map similar to the screenshot of map as shown in Figure 5 on its display screen informing the user about the location of the ATMs in service 504 in the geographical area. For example, the user who wants to avail the ATM service to withdraw the cash visits an ATM and comes to know that the ATM is out of service and can not meet his requirements. The ATM enables the user to input the set of parameters and receive information associated with the one or more ATMs in service 504 based on the set of parameters from the remote server 104. The ATM outputs the information associated with the one or more ATMs in service 504 by displaying a digital map on its display screen and hence enabling the user to select the ATM in service 504. In an alternate embodiment, where the ATM is configured to output the information associated with the ATM in service 504 by printing the information on a recording media. For example, the ATM gives a print out of a map on a paper illustrating the location of ATMs in service 504 in a geographical area.

Figure 5 is a screenshot of a map illustrating location of one or more ATMs in service 504 in a geographical area 502, according to one embodiment. The screenshot of map is highlighting location of ATMs in service 504 and ATMs out of service 506 in the geographical area 502 based on the set of parameters.

Figure 2A is a flow diagram illustrating the steps involved in determining at least one ATM in service 504 from one or more ATMS in service 504 located in a geographical area based on a pre-specified driving direction 606, according to one embodiment.

The steps from 202 to 208 are performed in the similar manner as described in detail herein before for the steps 106 to 112 of Figure 1.

At step 210, the remote server 104 determines at least one ATM in service 504 from one or more ATMs in service 504 located in the geographical area 502 based on a pre-specified driving direction 606. This enables the user to locate ATMs in service 504 on his pre-specified driving route 606. For example, if the user wishes to find out geographical location of ATMs in service 504 on his driving route, then the device 102 provides an interactive map of the geographical area 502 wherein the user can specify his driving route by selecting a start point 602 and destination point 604 on the said map. Further, the device 102 receives information associated with the ATMs in service 504 located on or near the pre-specified driving route 606 from the remote serve 104.
At step 214, the information associated with the ATMs in service 504 is then outputted by the device 102 by various modes of displaying or printing a map similar to a screenshot of map as shown in Figure 6A. The modes of outputting are performed in similar fashion as described in detail herein before for the step 116 of Figure 1. This enables the user to select the ATM in service 504 of his choice located on his pre-specified driving route 210.

In an alternate embodiment (not shown in Figure 2A), the user is enabled to locate and select the ATM or ATMs in service 504 of his choice in the interactive map of the geographical area 502. The device 102 further enables the user to receive information associated with the driving directions or route associated with the selected ATM in service 504 from the remote server 104.

Figure 6A is a screenshot of map illustrating location of one or more ATMs in service in a geographical area based on a pre-specified driving direction, according to one embodiment. The map illustrates a pre-specified driving direction 606 between start point 602 and destination point 604 selected by the user and ATMs in service 504 located on the pre-specified driving direction 606.

Figure 2B is a flow diagram illustrating the steps involved in determining at least one ATM in service nearest 652 to the location of a user from the one or more ATMs in service, according to one embodiment.

The steps from 252 to 258 are performed in the similar manner as described in detail herein before for the steps 106 to 112 of Figure 1.

At step 260, the remote server 104 determines the ATM in service nearest 652 to the location of the user from the one or more ATMs in service 504 located in the geographical area 502. The remote server 104 compares the distance of the one or more ATMs in service 504 located within the geographical area 502 from the location of the user and based on the outcome the ATM in service nearest 652 to user is decided.

At step 262, the information associated with the nearest ATM in service 652 is sent to the device over the communication network. At step 264, the information associated with the nearest ATM in service 652 includes the location of the nearest ATM in service 652 and a driving direction 654 to arrive at the nearest ATM in service 652. The information associated with the nearest ATM in service 652 is then outputted by various modes by displaying or printing a map similar to the screenshot of map as shown in Figure 6B. The modes of outputting are performed in similar fashion as described in detail herein before for the step 116 of Figure 1. This enables the user to locate the nearest ATM in service 652 with reference to his location in the geographical area 502 and the driving direction 654 to arrive at the nearest ATM in service 652.

Figure 6B is a screenshot of map illustrating location of the nearest ATM in service 652 with respect to the location of the user, according to one embodiment. The map highlights the geographical location of the user 656 and the geographical location of the nearest ATM in service 652 in the geographical area 502. The driving direction 654 to the geographical location of the nearest ATM in service 652 is highlighted by a dotted line.

Figure 2C is a flow diagram illustrating the steps involved in determining at least one ATM in service nearest to the location of the user along the pre-specified driving direction, according to one embodiment.

The steps from 282 to 288 are performed in the similar manner as described in detail herein before for the steps 106 to 112 of Figure 1. At step 290, the remote server 104 determines one or more ATM in service 504 from one or more ATMs in service located in the geographical area 502 based on a pre-specified driving direction 606 in the similar fashion as described detail herein before for the step 210 of Figure 2A.

At step 292, the remote server 104 determines at least one ATM in service nearest 682 to the location of the user along the pre-specified driving direction 606. The remote server compares the distance of the one or more ATMs in service 504 located along the pre-specified driving direction 606 within the geographical area 502 from the location of the user and based on the outcome the nearest ATM in service 682 along the pre-specified driving direction with reference to the user is decided. For example, if the user wishes to find out geographical location of the nearest ATM in service 682 situated on his driving route 606 with reference to his geographical location, then the device 102 provides an interactive map of the geographical area 502 with reference to his location wherein the user can specify his driving route by selecting the starting point 602 and destination point 604. Further, the device fetches information associated with all the ATMs in service 504 located on the driving route 606 specified by the user. The relative distances of all the ATMs in service 504 from the starting point 602 or the current location of the user are compared and based on the outcome the remote server 104 determines the nearest ATM in service 682 along the specified driving direction with reference to the geographical location of the user.

At step 294, the remote server sends information associated with the nearest ATM 682 along the pre-specified driving direction 606 via the communication network.

At step 294, the information associated with the nearest ATM 682 along the pre-specified driving direction 606 is then outputted by the device 102 by various modes of displaying or printing a map similar to the screenshot of map as shown in Figure 6C. The modes of outputting are performed in similar fashion as described in detail herein before for the step 116 of Figure 1. This enables the user to select the nearest ATM in service 682 of his choice on his pre-specified driving route 606.

Figure 6C is a screenshot of map illustrating location of the at least one ATM in service 682 nearest to the location of the user along the pre-specified driving direction 606, according to one embodiment. The map highlights the pre-specified driving direction 606 between the starting point 602 and the destination point 604, geographical location of other ATMs in service 504, geographical location of other ATMs out of service 506, and the geographical location of the nearest ATM in service 682 along the pre-specified driving direction 606 in the geographical area 502,

Figure 3 is a flow diagram illustrating the steps involved in dynamically updating the outputted information associated with the at least one ATM in service on a computing device, according to one embodiment.

The steps from 302 to 308 are performed in the similar manner as described in detail herein before for the steps 106 to 112 of Figure 1. At step 310, the remote server 104 determines an ATM in service nearest 652 to the geographical location of the user from the one or more ATMs in service 504 located in the geographical area 502. The step of determining nearest ATM in service 652 is performed in the similar way as described in detail herein before for the step 260 of Figure 2B.

At step 316, the remote server 104 periodically checks status of the ATM in service identified as nearest 652 to the geographical location of the user. In one embodiment, the remote server 104 has access to a dynamic ATM bank database via the communication network, wherein the dynamic ATM bank database is periodically updated (e.g. 1 min, 5 mins, 10 mins etc.) with respect to the information associated with the ATMs located in the geographical area 502. In an alternate embodiment, the remote server 104 may itself has the dynamic ATM bank database. The information associated with the ATMs includes status of the ATM, the amount of cash available with the ATM, currency denominations of the available cash with the ATM, location of the ATM, and distance between geographical location of the user and the geographical location of the ATM in service 504.

At step 318, the remote server 104 periodically (e.g. 1 min, 5 mins, 10 mins etc.) checks for any change in the outputted information associated with the ATM in service 652 identified as nearest to the geographical location of the user. The remote server 104 periodically fetches the information associated with the ATM in service identified as nearest 652. Further, the remote server 104 compares the previously fetched information with newly fetched information and based on the outcome determines a change between the previously fetched information and the newly fetched information. Once a change in information associate with the ATM in service 652 identified as nearest is determined, then the remote server 104 determines whether the change in the information is according to the set of parameters. For example, the set of parameters includes the ATM in service 504, geographical location of the ATM in service 504 with reference to a specified location by the user, amount of cash to be withdrawn. In this condition, if the remote server determines a change in status of currency denomination available with the identified nearest ATM in service 652, where the availability of currency denominations were not part of the set of parameters, then this change in status of the nearest ATM in service 652 is not useful according to the set of parameters. Therefore, this change in status is not sent to the device 102 by performing a step 322.

At step 320, once the remote server 104 determines that the change in information associated with the nearest ATM in service 652 is according to the set of parameters, then the remote server automatically determines another nearest ATM in service from the one or more ATMs in service 504 based on the set of parameters by performing the step 310 as discussed in detail herein | above. For example, the user is heading towards the identified nearest ATM in service 652 and in the mean time the remote server 104 identifies a change in status of the nearest ATM in service 652 which makes the nearest ATM in service 652 incapable of meeting the requirements of the user specified in the set of parameters. In this condition the remote server 104 automatically determines another ATM in service which is second nearest to the geographical location of the user based on the set of parameters and makes the user aware of the newly developed situation.

At step 322, the remote server 104 dynamically updates the information associated with the other determined nearest ATM in service 652 to be outputted by the device 102. The remote server 104 sends the information associated with the other determined nearest ATM in service 652 including change in status of the previously determined nearest ATM in service, the geographical location of the other nearest ATM in service 652, and directions to reach the other nearest ATM in service 652.

At step 324, the information associated with the nearest ATM in service 652 is then outputted by the device 102 by various modes of displaying or printing a map. The modes of outputting are performed in similar fashion as described in detail herein before for the step 116 of Figure 1. This enables the user to select the nearest ATM in service 652 in the geographical area 502 with reference to the geographical location specified by the user.
