A method of integrating photographic imaging products and services
functionality with non-imaging functionality using automatic teller
machine (ATM) functions for providing financial transactions in a single
kiosk is disclosed. This invention provides the consumer with the
flexibility to generate imaging products and conduct imaging services or
perform ATM-related transactions independent of one another; to
incorporate images into producing customized financial instruments at the
kiosk; to access financial institution services to store or retrieve
images or documents as part of providing either imaging products/services
or ATM financial instruments; and to utilize the customer's financial
accounts and/or financial instruments as a means of payment for the
products/services rendered at the kiosk. The present invention leverages
the infrastructure, equipment and networking capabilities of both sets of
functionality to provide an economy of scale and an increased value of
differentiation not currently available.
