Abstract

See full text

The automatic self service machine system of this invention operates in an off-line manner without the necessity of a data communication link to a host computer and is characterized in that it does not require the issuance of special identification cards to users of the machine. Moreover, the system permits each user to employ any encoded machine readable card already in his possession as the authorization card or 'key' for using the machine. The system also provides a unique portable storage cartridge for storage of articles to be dispensed or received by the machine, such as money, tickets, travelers checks, documents, and the like as well as data relating to the dispensing or receipt of such articles.
