Abstract

Techniques for automated transactions are provided. A customer uses a mobile device to interact with an enterprise automation terminal to perform a transaction. At the start of the transaction, a unique barcode for the transaction is generated and displayed to the customer. The mobile device scans the barcode (can be a QR code); this causes the mobile device to communicate with a remote server that identifies the customer. Preferences for the customer are retrieved and the transaction and features of the terminal are configured based on the preferences. The transaction proceeds with the configured preferences.
