SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
CROSS-REFERENCE ART COLLECTIONS
This cross-reference art collection provides for disclosures
of "systems", "components" of
systems, or "peripherals" to systems designed
to facilitate the exchange of monetary value via electronic means.
| (1)
Note. An asterisk (*) denotes a term which is defined
in the glossary for this collection. |
| (2)
Note. It should be noted that this is a collection of only
corss-references of art. It is not a true "class" within
the meaning of that term in the U.S. Patent Classification System.
It is intended, however, to serve as a search tool within that
system. This collection cannot receive any U.S. patent as an "original";
any document placed in this collection is to be treated as a discretionary cross-reference. |
| (3)
Note. This cross-reference art collection provides a general
locus for information relating to electronic funds transfer systems,
as well as components of and peripherals to such systems. Based
upon prior development of the patent classification system, such
information can also be found in various classes. The particular
classification of a document is dependent on a number of different
considerations. The most pertinent classifications for subject matter
disclosing EFT systems, components, or peripherals have been screened; however,
it should be noted that this collection represents only an attempt
to collect this subject matter. It should not be construed as being
an exhaustive locus for EFT information. It will become more complete as
information continues to be added whenever it is discovered. |
| (4)
Note. Apparatus of this type enables a user to complete a
financial transaction* resulting in funds being transferred
either into or out of an account, the transaction involving digital
telecommunication between electronic devices and completed without
the direct intervention of another human. |
| (5)
Note. Data processing systems*, components* of
such systems (e.g., central processing units, communication networks, terminals,
etc.), and peripherals* (e.g., encryptors, card readers,
sheet feeders, data-input or data-output devices, bank cards, etc.)
have been included when disclosed as being for use in electronic
funds transfer (EFT). Some systems and devices of general utility
(i.e., containing no specific statement of use in (EFT) are also included
if they are considered to be readily adaptable for use in EFT.
An attempt has been made to provide search notes for pertinent devices
of general utility. |
SECTION II - GLOSSARY
COMPONENT
A device within a data processing system* designed
to process data (e.g., encrypting, modulating, transmitting, receiving,
comparing, performing arithmetical calculations, etc.) after it
has been entered by a user* (i.e., input) in order to formulate
a response to the user (i.e., output) or to protect the data. Within
the context of this collection, system components generally include
a central data processor, a communication processor and network,
and terminals at points distant from the central data processor
and communicating with it through the communication components.
IDENTIFIER
A data bearing record intended to identify either an account
or the record"s bearer, whereby authorization for a transaction* can
be obtained.
PERIPHERAL
A device associated with a terminal*, either
as a subcombination adapted to enhance input or output of data (e.g.,
a printer for output, a voice recognizer for input, etc.), or in
combination with the terminal to add a disparate function (e.g.,
means to identify counterfeit money, a sheet feeder, etc.).
SYSTEM
A plurality of electronic devices (components*)
functionally integrated to process data in order to perform a transaction*.
TERMINAL
A component* of a system* designed
for interaction with a user*, having both input means for
receiving data from the user and output means for transmitting data
to the user. A terminal is often combined with one or more peripheral* devices
to form a structural unit.
TRANSACTION
An act between a user* and a monetary fiduciary
party (e.g., a financial institution) whereby monetary value is exchanged.
USER
A person interacting with the system* to perform
a transaction* with a monetary fiduciary party. The user initiates
the transaction by operating the terminal*.
