Design of Business Process and Message Interface for Self-Service Terminal System

Abstract

Nowadays, self-service terminals, which are used widely in banking systems, can be seen everywhere. However, few systems could combine a large number of self-service terminals and a diversified electronic payment platforms for providing convenient financial services. In this paper, we develop such a combined self-service terminal system. We also give details about the design of business process and message interface on four main functional modules of our new developed system, which are uploading transaction logs, registering and configuring new self-service terminals, uploading running status, paying debts, and releasing information. Last, we conduct an experiment to evaluate the performance of our self-service terminals in terms of the packet loss rate. Results show that the design of business process and message interface is effective.
