Abstract

A device may receive an indication that an ATM transaction is to be conducted, display prompt(s) for a user to input user authentication credential information and to select an ATM transaction type, detect user input(s) that include a user authentication credential and a selection of a particular ATM transaction type, and receive, from an ATM device, a request to establish a communication session. The ATM device may include a sync button to initiate communicative coupling of the ATM device and the user device. The request may be based on a user selection of the sync button. The device may communicatively couple to the ATM device, and provide, to the ATM device, the user authentication credential and data regarding the particular ATM transaction type to cause the ATM device to perform the ATM transaction. The device may display information regarding the ATM transaction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
communicatively coupling, by an automated teller machine (ATM) device, to an external user device, using a wireless transceiver of the ATM device;
providing, by the ATM device and to the external user device, a first instruction to prompt a user of the external user device to input personal identification number (PIN) information relating to an account associated with the user;
receiving, by the ATM device, a PIN provided by the external user device after providing the first instruction;
performing, by the ATM device, an action to validate the PIN with respect to the account,
wherein performing the action to validate the PIN comprises:
receiving an indication that a contactless transaction card is located within a threshold distance from the ATM device; and
validating the PIN based on receiving the indication that the contactless transaction card is located within the threshold distance from the ATM device;

providing, by the ATM device and to the external user device and based on validating the PIN, a second instruction to prompt the user to specify transaction information; and
performing, by the ATM device, an ATM transaction based on the transaction information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the second instruction comprises:
providing the second instruction to prompt the user to select an ATM transaction type.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
broadcasting a pairing request based on a user selection of a sync button associated with the wireless transceiver.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
receiving a pairing response from the external user device after broadcasting the pairing request; and
wherein communicatively coupling to the external user device comprises:
establishing a communication session with the external user device based on receiving the pairing response.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing, based on performing the ATM transaction, the external user device with data causing display of information regarding the ATM transaction on the external user device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing at least one user notification to the external user device,
the at least one user notification relating to at least one of:
successful communicatively coupling of the external user device and the ATM device,
validation of the PIN,
an availability of funds in the ATM device, or
an operating status of the ATM device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the indication that the contactless transaction card is located within the threshold distance from the ATM device comprises:
receiving, via a near-field communication (NFC) component, or via the external user device and responsive to NFC communication between the contactless transaction card and the external user device, the indication that the contactless transaction card is located within the threshold distance from the ATM device.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an automated teller machine (ATM) device, cause the one or more processors to:
communicatively couple to an external user device using a wireless transceiver of the ATM device;
provide, to the external user device, a first instruction to prompt a user of the external user device to input personal identification number (PIN) information relating to an account associated with the user;
receive a PIN provided by the external user device after providing the first instruction;
perform an action to validate the PIN with respect to the account,
wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to perform the action to validate the PIN, further cause the one or more processors to:
receive an indication that a contactless transaction card is located within a threshold distance from the ATM device; and
validate the PIN based on receiving the indication that the contactless transaction card is located within the threshold distance from the ATM device;

provide, to the external user device and based on validating the PIN, a second instruction to prompt the user to specify transaction information; and
perform an ATM transaction based on the transaction information.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to provide the second instruction, cause the one or more processors to:
provide the second instruction to prompt the user to select an ATM transaction type.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
broadcast a pairing request based on a user selection of a sync button associated with the wireless transceiver.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
receive a pairing response from the external user device after broadcasting the pairing request; and
wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the one or more processors to communicatively couple to the external user device, cause the one or more processors to:
establish a communication session with the external user device based on receiving the pairing response.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
provide, based on performing the ATM transaction, the external user device with data causing display of information regarding the ATM transaction on the external user device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to:
provide at least one user notification to the external user device,
the at least one user notification relating to at least one of:
successful communicatively coupling of the external user device and the ATM device,
validation of the PIN,
an availability of funds in the ATM device, or
an operating status of the ATM device.

14. An automated teller machine (ATM) device, comprising:
a device body,
the device body including a wireless transceiver to initiate wireless communications with external user devices;

a communication interface configured to communicatively couple to external user devices using the wireless transceiver;
an additional communication interface configured to detect contactless transaction cards located within a threshold distance from the ATM device;
one or more memories; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the communication interface, the one or more processors being configured to:
cause the communication interface to provide, to an external user device, a first instruction to prompt a user of the external user device to input personal identification number (PIN) information relating to an account associated with the user;
receive, via the communication interface, a PIN provided by the external user device after causing the communication interface to provide the first instruction;
receive, from the additional communication interface, an indication that a contactless transaction card is located within the threshold distance from the ATM device:
