Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A banking system is controlled responsive to data read from data bearing records. The system comprises an automated banking machine. The machine includes at least one type of data reader, which includes a card reader. The machine also includes an anti-fraud arrangement that can deter effective operation of unauthorized devices attached to the machine. Such unauthorized devices may include a fraudulent card reader placed adjacent to a card entry slot that leads to the card reader. The arrangement can sense a fraudulent card reader installed on the machine. The arrangement can additionally emit jamming signals that interfere with an ability of a sensed fraudulent card reader to accurately read card data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: determining at least one speed of a card being read by a card reader; operating the at least one processor to determine at least one jamming pattern for usage, wherein the pattern includes at least one frequency that matches the determined speed of the card; and operating the at least one processor to cause the emitter to output jamming signals that correspond to the at least one jamming pattern; wherein the jamming signals are co…
