Abstract

A computer-implemented method, included inputting, entering, or receiving, with or using an input device or a receiver, information regarding an account and transaction information regarding a transaction on or involving the account; obtaining or recording, with or using a camera or a video recording device, a photograph or a video clip of an individual involved in the transaction; processing, with or using a processor, the transaction information; storing, in a database of a computer, information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction, and transmitting the information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction to a communication device independently of any processing of the transaction by a transaction authorization processing computer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a banking transaction terminal, further comprising:
an input device, wherein the input device inputs information regarding an account and transaction information regarding a transaction on or involving the account;
a camera or a video recording device, wherein the camera or the video recording device obtains or records a photograph or a video clip of an individual involved in the transaction;
a processor, wherein the processor processes the transaction information; and

a computer, further comprising:
a database, wherein the database stores information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction,
wherein the information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction is transmitted to a communication device independently of any processing of the transaction by a transaction authorization processing computer.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the banking transaction terminal is an automated teller machine (ATM) terminal, and further wherein the transaction is an automated teller machine (ATM) transaction.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction is transmitted to the communication device as or in a notification message.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a card reader, wherein the card reader obtains information regarding the account.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a scanner, wherein the scanner obtains a copy of a document, an authorization form, an authorization request form, a draft, a bank draft, a deposit form, a withdrawal form, a check, a receipt, or a request form, offered, presented, submitted, processed, involved, or used, in the transaction on or involving the account.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a microphone or an audio recording device, wherein the microphone or the audio recording device obtains or records an audio clip of the individual involved in the transaction.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the audio clip of the individual involved in the transaction is transmitted to the communication device.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus stores information regarding an image, a digital copy, a photograph, or a picture, of a document, an authorization form, an authorization request form, a draft, a bank draft, a deposit form, a withdrawal form, a check, a receipt, or a request form, offered, presented, submitted, processed, involved, or used, in the transaction on or involving the account.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an image, a digital copy, a photograph, or a picture, of a document, an authorization form, an authorization request form, a draft, a bank draft, a deposit form, a withdrawal form, a check, a receipt, or a request form, offered, presented, submitted, processed, involved, or used, in the transaction on or involving the account is transmitted to the communication device.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the banking transaction terminal transmits the information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction to the communication device.

11. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer transmits the information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction to the communication device.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus transmits an authorization request regarding the transaction to the transaction authorization processing computer.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the banking transaction terminal transmits the transaction information and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction to the transaction authorization processing computer.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus receives a transaction response message, wherein the transaction response message is transmitted from the transaction authorization processing computer, and further wherein the transaction response message contains information for authorizing, allowing, or disallowing, the transaction.

15. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus receives a transaction response message transmitted from the communication device, wherein the transaction response message contains information for authorizing, allowing, or disallowing, the transaction.

16. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
inputting or entering, with or using an input device of a banking transaction terminal, information regarding an account and transaction information regarding a transaction on or involving the account;
obtaining or recording, with or using a camera or a video recording device, a photograph or a video clip of an individual involved in the transaction;
processing, with or using a processor, the transaction information;
storing, in a database of a computer, information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction; and
transmitting the information regarding the transaction and the photograph or the video clip of the individual involved in the transaction to a communication device independently of any processing of the transaction by a transaction authorization processing computer.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the banking transaction terminal is an automated teller machine (ATM) terminal, and further wherein the transaction is an automated teller machine (ATM) transaction.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising:
obtaining or recording, with or using a microphone or an audio recording device, an audio clip of the individual involved in the transaction.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising:
obtaining or recording information regarding an image, a digital copy, a photograph, or a picture, of a document, an authorization form, an authorization request form, a draft, a bank draft, a deposit form, a withdrawal form, a check, a receipt, or a request form, offered, presented, submitted, processed, involved, or used, in the transaction on or involving the account.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising:
transmitting an audio recording of the individual involved in the transaction, or transmitting information regarding an image, a digital copy, a photograph, or a picture, of a document, an authorization form, an authorization request form, a draft, a bank draft, a deposit form, a withdrawal form, a check, a receipt, or a request form, offered, presented, submitted, processed, involved, or used, in the transaction on or involving the account, to the communication device or to a second communication device.

21. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
inputting, entering, or receiving, with or using an input device or a receiver, information regarding an account and transaction information regarding a transaction on or involving the account;
obtaining or recording, with or using a camera or a video recording device, a photograph or a video clip of an individual involved in the transaction;
