`
`[0001) This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.
`
`60/362,467, filed March 6, 2002. The U.S. Provisional Patent Application is herein
`
`incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`10
`
`[0002) The present invention relates to money distribution, and more specifically, to a
`
`method and apparatus for providing money in a PIN-less credit card transaction.
`
`Description of the Prior Art
`
`[0003) Banking institutions offer several alternatives for patrons to withdraw money from a
`
`15
`
`patron's bank account. For example, a patron can personally visit the institution's cashier or
`
`an agent of the institution and withdraw money by showing an ID and/or other personal
`
`information. Personally visiting the institution's agent or cashier offers a reliable means for a
`
`patron to withdraw money. However, repeatedly visiting a cashier or agent can be
`
`inconvenient and time-consuming.
`
`20
`
`[0004) Automated teller machines (ATMs) offer a convenient alternative to withdrawing
`
`money from an institution's cashier or agent. In order for a patron to use an ATM machine,
`
`the patron must have an issued ATM card and a PIN (Personal Identification Number). The
`
`patron can then insert the ATM card into the ATM machine, enter their PIN, and withdraw
`money from the ATM. Thus, patrons can quickly access their accounts from ATMs. A
`
`25
`
`patron can also use a PIN-based credit card at the AiM, but many patrons do not know their
`
`PIN number and therefore are not currently being serviced.
`'
`[0005) Using ATMs can also cause problems, such as the unauthorized use of a patron's
`
`ATM card. Any person possessing the patron's ATM card and PIN can access and withdraw
`
`money from the patron's account. Thus, a patron is susceptible to fraud from stolen ATM
`
`30
`
`cards and from manufactured A TM cards. Additionally, banking institutions are also affected
`
`by ATM fraud. Patrons inevitably dispute the unauthorized use of their ATM cards resulting
`
`in expensive investigation costs for the institution and costly refunds in some cases.

`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0006] One embodiment of the present invention provides a system and method for PIN-less
`
`credit card transactions. An automated cashier machine (ACM) is provided that offers a
`
`5
`
`secure and convenient way for users to access cash from their card without using a PIN. A
`
`request for a PIN-less card transaction is received. An identifying image of a user is taken
`
`and an amount for withdraw is received. If the amount for withdrawal is approved, the ACM
`
`verifies the identifying image of the user to an image of the user in a profile. In one
`
`embodiment, the identifying image is verified using facial biometrics. If the identifying
`
`10
`
`image is verified, the amount for withdrawal is dispersed.
`
`[0007] By verifying a user's image using facial biometrics, transactions may be conducted
`
`without using a pin. Additionally, verifying the user's image prevents stolen PIN numbers
`
`from being used to illegally withdraw money from the user's account.
`
`[0008) In one embodiment, a method for conducting a PIN-less card transaction using a
`
`15
`
`profile of a user at a cashier machine is provided. The method includes receiving a request
`
`for the PIN-less card transaction at the cashier machine, taking an identifying image of the
`
`user, obtaining a request for a withdrawal amount, verifying the identifying image with the
`
`profile of the user and either approving or disapproving the request based upon the
`
`verification, and dispensing the amount for withdrawal to the user if the request was
`
`20
`
`approved.
`
`[0009) In another embodiment, a method for conducting a PIN-less card transaction using a
`
`profile of a user at a cashier machine includes: receiving a request for the PIN-less card
`
`transaction at the cashier machine, taking an identifying image of the user, obtaining a
`
`withdrawal amount, requesting authorization for the amount of withdrawal, if the
`
`25
`
`authorization request is approved, verifying the identifying image with the profile of the user
`
`and either approving or disapproving the request based upon the verification; and dispensin_g
`
`the amount for withdrawal to the user if the request was approved.
`
`[0010) A further understanding of the major advantages o(the invention herein may be
`
`realized by reference to the remaining portions of the specification in conjunction with the
`
`30
`
`attached drawings.

`
`DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
`
`(0014] In Fig. 1, a system 10 for providing a credit card transaction without using a PIN is
`
`shown according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment, system 10
`
`includes an automated cashier machine (ACM) 12, a cashier system 14, a financial institution
`
`16, a server 20, and an ACM computer system 18.
`
`IO
`
`[0015] System 10 is linked together via a communication conduit or channel. The
`
`communication channel may be wireless, telephonic, or any other communication system.
`
`Additionally, the channel may be via the global internetwork of networks generally referred
`
`to as the Internet. A communication channel may also be a combination of communication
`
`types. ACM 12, cashier system 14, financial institution 16, and ACM computer system 18
`
`15
`
`are preferably coupled directly and/or indirectly to each other through the server 20. Also, it
`
`will be apparent to one skilled in the art that there may be one server, multiple servers, or no
`
`servers.
`
`(0016] Automated cashier machine 12 is capable of taking a picture of a person, and
`
`dispensing money. In one embodiment, ACM 12 includes a card reader, a picture taking
`
`20
`
`device, a display device, an input device, and a cash dispenser. In a specific embodiment, the
`
`card reader may be a magnetic strip reader capable ofreading cards with a magnetic strip
`
`such as, for example, ATM cards, credit cards, debit cards, or smart cards. A picture-taking
`
`device may be any device capable of taking a picture such as a digital camera, traditional
`
`camera, or Internet web camera. Input device may be a touch screen or keypad. In one
`
`25
`
`embodiment, a request for a PIN-less transaction may be inputted through the input device
`
`without requiring the reading of a card. In another embodiment, cashier machine 12 is an
`
`ATM machine capable of taking a picture of a person.
`
`(0017] Server 20 is capable of receiving and forwarding cqmmunications to and from
`
`components of system 10. In one embodiment, server 20 is a web server.
`
`30
`
`(0018] ACM computer system 18 may be any system capable of verifying the picture taken
`
`by ACM 12. In one embodiment, ACM computer system 18 includes a processor. The
`
`processor may be, for example, a computer, workstation, mainframe, pocket PC, personal
`
`digital assistant, etc. The processor also preferably includes or is in communication with a
`
`verification process 22 and database 24. Verification process 22 may be a software-
`
`3
`
`ASSA ABLOY Ex. 1004 - Page 5
`ASSA ABLOY AB v. CPC Patent Technologies Pty Ltd.
`IPR2022-01093 - U.S. Patent No. 8,620,039
`
`
`
`WO 03/077077
`
`PCT /OS03/07238
`
`implemented process that communicates with database 24 in order to verify that the picture
`
`taken by ACM 12 matches a picture in database 24. The picture may be part of a profile that
`
`is verified. A profile may include an image of the user or a corresponding entry representing
`
`the image that is used to verify the picture taken by ACM 12. Additionally, a profile may
`
`5
`
`include identifying information that uniquely identifies the user, such as a date of birth,
`
`driver's license number, passport number, social security number, credit card number, and
`
`BIN number of the credit card. Verification process 22 may use any aspects of the profile in
`
`authorizing a transaction. For example, verification process 22 may verify just the picture of
`
`the user or verify the picture and the social security number of the user.
`
`10
`
`[0019) In one embodiment, verification process 22 may employ an algorithm based on facial
`
`biometrics. In a specific embodiment, facial biometrics mapping using a sophisticated
`
`algorithm based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) by Viisage Technology Inc. is
`
`used. The PCA uses software that translates the characteristics of the face of the user into a
`
`unique set of numbers, which can be referred to as an Eigenface. The Eigenface is sent to the
`
`15
`
`verification process 22, which compares the unique set of numbers to a pre-existing profile or
`
`Eigenface for the user in the database 24. A match of the user's image or Eigenface to the
`
`user's profile associated with the card number is conducted. Also, a person of skill in the art
`
`will appreciate other methods of verifying a user's identifying image.
`
`[0020] Also, a person of skill in the art will appreciate other methods of verifying a user's
`
`20
`
`identifying image. For example, in another specific embodiment, facial biometrics mapping
`
`using Visionics Corp. Faceit« product may be used. The product maps an individual's
`
`identity into a complex mathematical formula called a faceprint. Local Feature Analysis
`
`(LF A) is used to represent facial images in terms of local statistically derived building blocks.
`
`LFA then compares faceprints and verifies a user's picture. Other methods of verification
`
`25
`
`known in the art may also be used, such as iris, voice signature, and fingerprint technology .
`
`. [0021) Verification process 22 also may query database 24 to validate a user's credit card
`
`number associated with the picture to a card number associated with the user's picture in the
`
`database. Additionally, verification process 22 may query .database 24 to verify other aspects
`
`of identifying information in the profile.
`
`30
`
`[0022) Cashier system 14 may be any system capable of enrolling a user into ACM computer
`
`system 18. In one embodiment, cashier system 14 includes a card reader and computer. The
`
`card reader may be the same as the card reader of ACM 12. The computer may be any
`
`computing device capable of communicating with ACM computer system 18 to enroll the
`
`4
`
`ASSA ABLOY Ex. 1004 - Page 6

`IPR2022-01093 - U.S. Patent No. 8,620,039
`
`
`
`WO 03/077077
`
`PCT /OS03/07238
`
`user in ACM computer system 18. The cashier system may also include a human operator to
`
`facilitate enrolling the user in ACM computer system 18.
`
`(0023] Financial institution 16 may be any institution capable of authorizing a transaction
`
`requested by the user. Institution 16 is preferably the issuer of the card the user is using.
`
`5
`
`(0024] Referring to Fig. 2, a method for conducting a PIN-less credit card transaction is
`
`provided according to one embodiment. The PIN-less credit card transaction may be used to
`
`withdraw cash or any item of value, such as a money order, check, travelers check, credit
`
`from an institution, gaming chips, etc., from ACM 12. In step S200, a user is provided with a
`
`main menu screen and selects a choice for conducting a PIN-less credit card transaction on
`
`IO ACM 12. The user may begin the process by inserting or swiping a credit card into the credit
`
`card reader. Also, the user may touch the input screen, choose the PIN-less credit card
`
`function, and enter a credit card account number.
`
`[0025) In step S202, ACM 12 detennines if the credit card account number of the user is
`
`enrolled to use the PIN-less credit card system. In determining if the user is enrolled, ACM
`
`15
`
`12 may communicate with ACM computer system 18 to look up the user's credit card
`
`number. Also, ACM 12 may include a database that may be used to determine if the user is
`
`enrolled. If the card is not enrolled, the user is enrolled in a process hereinafter described.
`
`(0026) If the card is enrolled, ACM 12 displays a message that an image of the user must be
`
`taken to continue with the transaction and an identifying image is taken once the user agrees
`
`20
`
`in step S204. In a specific embodiment, a legal disclosure is also displayed on ACM 12
`
`informing the user that biometrics is being used. In one embodiment, the image is taken an
`
`mapped using facial biometrics.
`
`[0027) In step S208, consent for using a signature on file may be obtained. In step S210, the
`
`user is prompted to enter a withdrawal amount. Once an amount is entered, the user is
`
`25
`
`appraised of any service fees that will be charged and the user acknowledges acceptance of
`
`the service fees in step S2 l 2.
`
`[0028) In step S2 l 4, the transaction is sent for pre-authorization to the financial institution.
`
`In a specific embodiment, the authorization request may u~e an Address Verification System
`
`(A VS) to help validate the users address.
`
`30
`
`[0029] If the attempted authorization is not approved, the customer is notified that the
`
`transaction was not authorized in step S218.
`[0030] If the attempted authorization is approved, the process verifies that the identifying
`
`image was taken in step S219. In one embodiment, facial biometrics is used to verify the
`
`identifying image that was taken to a user profile on record. If the identifying image was
`
`5
`
`ASSA ABLOY Ex. 1004 - Page 7
`ASSA ABLOY AB v. CPC Patent Technologies Pty Ltd.
`IPR2022-01093 - U.S. Patent No. 8,620,039
`
`
`
`WO 03/077077
`
`PCT /OS03/07238
`
`verified, the process may verify other requirements in one embodiment in step S220. For
`
`example, the process may determine if a valid signature is on file, and if the customer ID is
`
`valid. If any of the other requirements fail, the user is printed out a receipt and given
`instructions to proceed to the cashier for re-enrollment in step S226. It will be understood
`
`5
`
`that other ways of approving the PIN-less credit card transaction may be included. For
`
`example, the process may validate additional information in the profile of the user, such as a
`
`social security number, driver license's number, etc.
`
`[0031) In step S228, the process determines if the withdrawal amount is greater than the cash
`limit of ACM 12. If so, the user is printed out a receipt and given instructions to proceed to
`the cashier to collect the withdrawal amount in step S233. If not, the withdrawal amount is
`
`10
`
`dispensed and a receipt is printed in step S230.
`[0032] If the user desires another transaction, the process reverts back to step S210. If the
`
`user exits, the process is completed and returns to step S200.
`
`[0033] In step S232, if the card is not enrolled, the user is notified that a picture must be
`
`15
`
`taken for enrollment. In step S234, a picture of the customer is taken. The picture may be
`
`taken by methods as described above. In step S236, the user is prompted to enter a
`
`withdrawal amount. Once an amount is entered, the user is appraised of any service fees that
`will be charged and the user acknowledges acceptance of the service fees in step S238.
`
`[0034] In step S240, the transaction is sent for pre-authorization to the financial institution.
`
`20
`
`In a specific embodiment, the authorization request may use an Address Verification System
`
`(AVS) to help validate the users address.
`
`25
`
`30
`
`[0035] In step S242, the process determines if the transaction is authorized.
`
`[0036] If the attempted authorization is not approved, the customer is notified that the
`transaction was not authorized in step S244.
`(0037] If the attempted authorization is approved, a receipt is printed and the customer is
`
`given instructions to proceed to cashier system 14 to complete enrollment, hereinafter
`
`described in step S246. In a specific embodiment, the user proceeds to a casino cashier. The
`
`user may then be dispensed the money for the transaction ~t the casino cage upon showing of
`
`a valid identification, such as a driver's license, etc.
`[0038) Figure 3 illustrates an enrollment process according to one embodiment. An example
`of an enrollment process for creating a profile in database 24 will now be described. The
`enrollment process is preferably only done once. However, exceptions, such as when an ID
`
`or credit card has expired, when the identity of the cardholder does not match the card, or
`
`6
`
`ASSA ABLOY Ex. 1004 - Page 8

`
`
`
`WO 03/077077
`
`PCT /OS03/07238
`
`when a proper digitized signature was not obtained may require the enrollment process to be
`
`repeated.
`
`(0039] In step A, the cashier requests a valid form of identification and the credit card used in
`
`the PIN-less credit card transaction from the user. For example, a valid form of ID may be a
`
`5
`
`current official government document, such as a passport, driver's license, or military ID that
`
`bears the cardholder's signature and has a photograph of the cardholder. The cashier
`
`preferably verifies information on the credit card. For example, the cashier preferably
`
`verifies that a valid date is embossed on the card and that the date of the transaction is on or
`
`after the valid date embossed on the card. Additionally, the date of transaction must be on or
`
`10
`
`before an expiration date embossed on the card. Further, the cashier system may
`
`communicate with the ACM 12 or ACM computer system 18 to receive the credit card
`
`number used in the above described transaction. The card number embossed on the front of
`
`the card preferably matched_ the number received from the credit card read at the ACM 12.
`
`(0040] In step B, the cashier swipes or key enters the credit card through the card reader on
`

`
`the PC and preferably enters the last four digits of the card number to validate the magnetic
`
`strip card. The cashier's PC then communicates to ACM computer system 18 either directly
`
`or through server 20 to receive the user's image and any other relevant data associated with
`
`the original transaction from ACM database 24. In another embodiment, the cashier system
`
`14 may communicate and receive the credit card information and image from ACM 12
`
`20
`
`directly. The cashier then preferably matches the user's image that is displayed on the PC
`
`screen to the ID presented and/or to the user in step C. In step D, the cashier preferably
`
`enters relevant identification information into the PC. For example, information entered may
`
`be (a) a description of the ID including any serial number, expiration date, and jurisdiction of
`
`issue; (b) the name of the cardholder on the ID (which preferably is the same as the name
`
`25
`
`embossed or encoded on the card); and (c) the address and telephone number of the
`
`cardholder. In step E, the cashier may also enter the BIN, which is a four-digit, pre-printed
`
`number found above the embossed card number. The entered information is then be stored in
`
`database 24.
`
`[0041] Once all the information is entered, an instrument (or receipt) is printed and the user
`
`30
`
`signs the instrument in step F. In one embodiment, the instrument may be a negotiable
`
`instrument, such as a money order or check or receipt. The signature on the back of the credit
`
`card and ID is then matched to the user's signature on the instrument. Also, a digital
`
`signature is obtained on the digital signature pad to record a digitized signature of the user. If
`
`the signatures match, the cashier clearly imprints the embossment of the card in step H. If the

`
`signature does not match the user's signature on the credit card or ID, the enrollment process
`
`is abandoned and the user must be re-enrolled.
`
`[0042) If all the above steps are successfully completed, the ACM enrollment is complete in
`
`step I. After enrollment is complete, the customer will be able to use the ACM to conduct
`
`5
`
`PIN-less credit card transactions on all future transactions, provided of course that the ID,
`
`credit card, and user image are valid.
`
`[0043) Using the ACM for PIN-less credit card transactions reduces fraudulent use of credit
`
`cards. For example, fraud for stolen ID's and credit cards and manufactured ID's and credit
`
`cards is reduced. A thief with a stolen credit card cannot use an ACM because the identifying
`
`10
`
`image will not match an image of the user in the database. Additionally, thieves will be
`
`discouraged from stealing credit cards and/or using ACMs because thieves will likely wish to
`
`avoid having an identifying image captured. Further, because fraudulent use of credit cards is
`
`reduced, disputes between cardholders and the credit card issuers are reduced.
`
`[0044] The above description is illustrative but not restrictive. Many variations of the
`
`15
`
`invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of this disclosure. The
`
`scope of the invention should, therefore, be determined not with reference to the above
`
`description, but instead should be determined with reference to the appended claims along
`
`with their full scope or equivalents.
