New NCR teller machine offers banking by video

Article Abstract:

NCR Corp is implementing technology developed by its parent company, AT and T Bell Laboratories Inc, to provide banks with automated teller machines capable of providing video interactive services such as mortgages and loans. Columbus, OH-based Huntington Banks will be the first bank to use the technology, beginning in the summer of 1992. Videoconferencing will provide customers with 24-hour access to all banking services, even in remote locations. The automated teller system presents the customer with a television-quality picture and telephone access to the central banking office. By touching the appropriate box on the screen, the customer begins a transaction. AT and T's compression technology provides an image generating 10 to 15 frames per second, giving a slightly jerky but clear picture. In addition to videoconferencing services, customers can also review their accounts and obtain product and rate information.

Marrying the PC and fax machine

Article Abstract:

The widespread use of local area networks (LANs) connecting microcomputers in offices is one of the important factors leading to a merger between the microcomputer and facsimile transmission equipment. The merger of the two technologies may evolve in several ways; modular devices that are interchangeable to suit a user's need or a single integrated desktop machine may become the norm. Add-on facsimile boards and facsimile modems that can send computer documents or facsimiles to other facsimile machines and receive facsimile for screen display or printing currently exist. Transmissions sent this way often encounter problems with incompatible standards between facsimile transmission equipment and microcomputer displays.
