Description

Title: Self-service terminal counting method and device, cleaning method and device, self-service terminal

Technical field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bank self-service technology, and particularly relates to a self-service terminal counting method and device

, cleaning method and device, self-service terminal.

Background technique

[0002] The bank's self-service terminal (ATM or CRS) is a self-service device that combines a variety of different financial business functions. Cardholders can use the functions provided by the self-service device to complete balance inquiry, password change, deposit and withdrawal. And other financial services.

[0003] With the wide application of self-service terminals, more and more cash transactions are completed through self-service devices, and self-service devices reduce the time for people to go to the bank to queue up for deposits and withdrawals, which brings great convenience to people. However, once the self-service terminal runs out of cash, if it is not enough to add cash (ie, add money), it will cause inconvenience to the user, which will affect the user experience. In order to ensure the quality of service, banks need to prepare sufficient cash storage for people and cash, so they need to add money, and usually need to clear the machine before the banknote processing.

[0004] In the process of cleaning up, the self-service terminal must suspend the external service, and the required cleaning time is relatively long, which reduces the efficiency of the bank administrator's cleaning machine. For example, a single banknote filled with 3,000 banknotes takes at least 10 minutes to count using the prior art. Assuming that there are 3 cashboxes, the bank administrator needs to stop at least 30 minutes of the time to process the cleaning disk of the device. Library. In the prior art, the method of counting banknotes is to check all the banknotes in the banknotes back and forth between the two banknotes, and the required time is longer, which increases the running loss of the self-service terminal and reduces the service life of the self-service terminal. Using the existing technology to clean up the self-service terminal, if the mid-way banknote counterfeiting process fails or the count is abnormal, the clearing machine library fails, and the success rate and accuracy of the automatic cleaning machine library function are reduced. Rate, therefore requires a highly efficient automatic counting method.

Embodiments of the invention

[0081] In the following description, for purposes of illustration and description However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the invention.

[0082] In order to explain the technical solution of the present invention, the following description will be made by way of specific embodiments.

[0083] FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for counting a self-service terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

[0084] Step S1, receiving an indication of counting the banknotes currently stored in the cashbox;

[0085] Specifically, when the cash box needs to be counted, the maintenance personnel or the self-service terminal issues an indication of counting, the self-service terminal includes more than one cash box, and the cash box may include a deposit box and/or a cash box, or a cycle The cash box, that is, the cash box that can be used for depositing and withdrawing money, the recycling box, and the movement, and other structures, such as a touch screen, etc., are not limited herein.

[0086] Step S2, automatically counting each cash unit that needs to be counted based on the instruction and the preset intermediate cash box

[0087] Specifically, according to the counting instruction, and with the assistance of the intermediate cash box, respectively counting the banknotes for each banknote that needs to be counted, the intermediate banknote box is preset, in order to enable the intermediate banknote box to be The counting operation plays a role in the budget design of the capacity, and the minimum capacity of the intermediate transfer box should not be small. The number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote that needs to be counted, and the number of banknotes currently stored in the banknote can be obtained based on empirical values, such as the average of the remaining amount of banknotes in a certain banknote, as the banknote The number of banknotes currently stored in the box, or obtained by sensors. For example, a height sensor is set for each banknote. Each banknote has the same shape and volume (the length, width and height are the same, that is, the bottom area and height are the same). According to the sensor, the height of the banknote currently stored in the corresponding banknote is sensed, and each height corresponds to the approximate storage amount of a banknote, so as to obtain the current banknote storage amount of the banknote, it should be noted that this method is not Very precise, it is still necessary to follow the counting method to accurately calculate the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote. This is just a method used to configure the corresponding intermediate banknote. In addition, the sensor can sense the height of the banknote currently stored in the banknote to obtain the current remaining capacity of the banknote (each height corresponds to a remaining capacity), thereby obtaining the maximum number of banknotes currently stored and the minimum number of banknotes currently stored. .

[0088] In order to facilitate the use of the intermediate transfer case in a subsequent process, the capacity of the transfer case is generally set relatively large, for example, half of the capacity of the cassette, or the capacity of the cassette, even larger than the capacity of the cassette. There is no limit to this. It should be noted that the counting step is usually used during the cleaning process. Therefore, the number of banknotes currently stored in each cash unit should be small, and all the intermediate transfer boxes generally do not have a large enough capacity.

[0089] Step S3: Record the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote that needs to be counted.

[0090] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, before the step S2, the method further includes:

[0091] Step S4, preset a transfer box at the self-service terminal to assist the counting operation of the cash box;

[0092] Specifically, it is necessary to preset a transfer bank in the self-service terminal to assist the counting operation of the cash box, and the intermediate transfer box may be a certain empty box of the self-service terminal or a temporary storage box.

[0093] Further, there is an empty cash box 在 in the self-service terminal, and the empty cash box is used as a transfer cash box;

[0094] Alternatively, an empty cash box is disposed in the self-service terminal, and the empty execution cassette is an empty cassette, and is in an empty operation state during the entire cleaning period, that is, no business is performed.

[0095] Alternatively, a temporary storage box is set in the self-service terminal;

[0096] Further, when the capacity of the temporary storage box is small, the specific process of step S4 is as follows:

[0097] setting a temporary storage box in the self-service terminal;

[0098] obtaining a maximum number of banknotes currently stored in one or more banknotes and a minimum number of banknotes currently stored; [0099] When the capacity of the temporary storage box is not less than the maximum number of banknotes currently stored, the temporary storage box is used as the intermediate transfer cassette.

[0100] Specifically, roughly counting the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote, obtaining the maximum number of banknotes currently stored and the minimum number of banknotes currently stored; the capacity of the temporary storage box and the maximum number of banknotes currently stored For comparison, when the capacity of the temporary storage box is not less than the maximum number of banknotes currently stored, the temporary storage box is selected as the intermediate cash cassette, and the capacity of the temporary storage box is smaller than the maximum number of currently stored banknotes, Further comparing it with the minimum number of banknotes currently stored, when the capacity of the temporary storage box is not less than the minimum value of the currently stored banknotes, indicating that the number of banknotes currently stored in the cashbox is large, the temporary storage box cannot To the auxiliary cycle, it can only assist the cash box in which the number of banknotes currently stored is smaller than the capacity of the temporary storage box, so the cash box corresponding to the minimum number of banknotes currently stored is used as the intermediate cash box, and the cash box is currently The stored banknotes are taken out, stored in the temporary storage box, and the counterfeit count is counted, the relevant data is recorded, and all the banknotes are recorded. Inch completion count, the bill temporary storage box to put back into the cassette.

[0101] In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment, during the counting process, the banknote verification is required first. When the banknote abnormality occurs, the corresponding banknotes need to be stored in the recycling bin, and the number of the abnormal banknotes is not counted. Into the total count, or after the count is completed, the number of abnormal banknotes stored in the recycle bin is subtracted as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cashbox.

[0102] In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a specific flowchart of step S2 of a preferred method for counting a self-service terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed by using an empty cash box as a transit. The cash box, the step S2 specifically includes:

[0103] Step S21, taking out the banknotes of the cash box that need to be counted, performing the first counting and counting, and temporarily storing the empty banknotes;

[0104] Step S22, taking out the banknote temporarily stored in the empty banknote box, performing the second counting and counting, and returning to the cash box stored therein;

[0105] Step S23, recording and checking the first count count data and the second count count data.

[0106] In still another preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, an empty cash box is set as the intermediate cash box, and the specific process of the step S2 is substantially the same as that described in FIG. 2, the difference is that the empty execution cassette replaces the empty banknote. The box acts as a transfer cassette. [0107] For ease of understanding, the implementation process of step 2 is described by way of example:

[0108] FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a self-service terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. If an A-carrying box is an empty-carrying box, the A-carrying box can be used as a transfer box, and the BCDE cassette (see FIG. 7). The banknotes are counted through the A banknote through the banknote counter. After the counting is completed, the banknotes are returned to the original banknote, that is, the banknotes are oriented: B banknote_reporter 76_A banknote_reporter 76_B banknote (count B) , other CDE cash boxes analogy.

[0109] In this way, the number of banknotes remaining in the B-carrying box, the C-carrying box, the D-carrying box, and the E-carrying box is counted in turn. In addition, the F-carrying box is used as a recycling bin, which is specially used for storing the forgotten recycle notes of the customers, and is not included in the statistical counting range.

[0110] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a temporary storage box is set in the self-service terminal, and the self-service terminal currently has an empty cash box. As shown in FIG. 3, the self-service terminal is provided in the embodiment of the present invention. A specific flowchart of step S2 of still another preferred manner of the counting method, where the step S2 specifically includes:

[0111] Step S201, using a cash box that needs to be counted as the cash withdrawal box, using the empty cash box as the cash input box, and taking out the banknote from the cash withdrawal box temporarily stored in the cash transfer box, and counting and recording the banknote for the first time Quantity

[0112] step S202, the banknotes are taken out from the cash transfer box and stored in the cash box, and the second counting is performed and the number of banknotes is recorded;

[0113] step S203, continuing the counting step, until the banknotes of the cash dispenser are taken, counting the first total banknotes taken out from the cash dispenser to the cashbox and the second from the cashbox to the cashbox The total number of banknotes, the total number of first banknotes used as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cash dispenser.

[0114] Further, the method may further include:

[0115] comparing the calculated number of the first total banknotes with the number of the second total banknotes, when the two are consistent, the total number of the first banknotes is used as the number of banknotes currently stored in the corresponding banknote, when the two are inconsistent, Re-execute the above steps to count again. It should be noted that, if the capacity of the intermediate cassette is less than the number of banknotes currently stored in the cassette, it is necessary to take more than two banknotes from the cassette, but the process of counting the banknotes and the counting process are consistent. After the banknotes are counted, the final number of banknotes is obtained.

[0116] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, the step S203 may further include:

[0117] step S204, the banknotes are taken out from the cash box, counted and stored in the intermediate banknote box;

[0118] step S205, taking out the banknotes from the intermediate transfer box, counting and storing in the cash withdrawal box;

[0119] Step S206, continuing the above counting step, until the banknotes of the cash box are taken out, counting the third total banknotes taken out from the cash box to the cash box and the fourth banknotes taken out from the cash box to the cash box The total number of banknotes, Taking the third total banknote amount as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cash box;

[0120] Step S207, determining whether the first total banknote amount is equal to the third total banknote amount, when the determination is yes, go to step S208, otherwise go to step S209;

[0121] step S208, the first total banknote amount is used as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cash box that needs to be counted;

[0122] Step S209, determining whether at least three of the total number of the first banknotes, the total number of the second banknotes, the total number of the third banknotes, and the total number of the fourth banknotes are equal. If the determination is yes, go to step S210, otherwise Go to step S

201, re-counting the banknote counting operation on the cash box that needs to be counted;

[0123] Step S210, the total number of banknotes is used as the number of banknotes currently stored in the banknote to be counted; [0124] It should be noted that the process of the above steps 201 to S210 is a process of counting a banknote, The counting process of a cash unit uses the above counting process to obtain the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote.

[0125] In a preferred solution of this embodiment, after step S3, the method may further include:

[0126] calculating the number of theoretical abnormal banknotes in the recycling bin according to the clearing account balance formula;

[0127] determining whether the recycle bin has an abnormal banknote;

[0128] feeding back to the cleaning personnel based on the judgment result;

[0129] Specifically, the abnormal banknote includes at least one of the following: the user forgets the banknote, the banknote abnormal banknote, the double banknote, the banknote banknote, and the like. The specific calculation method is as follows:

[0130] 1) No re-issued banknotes: Number of bins (required for manual counting) + Number of banknotes taken by the crew (must be manually counted) = (local statistics = bank background count = cash register logic count) - The number of each cash box and (excluding the recycling bin, can be obtained by automatic cleaning) + The number of customers that should be refunded (can be obtained by running water).

[0131] The sum of the number of collection bins and the number of banknotes taken by the crew is determined by the manual cleaning machine, which is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0132] 2) There are re-issued banknotes: The number of bins (required to be manually counted) + The number of banknotes taken by the crew (must be counted manually) = (local statistics = bank background count) - number of cash registers And (excluding recycling bins, which can be obtained by automated cleaning) + The number of customers that should be refunded (can be obtained by running water).

[0133] The sum of the number of collection bins and the number of banknotes taken by the crew is determined by the manual cleaning machine, which is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0134] wherein the replenishment complement = (local statistics = bank background count) - the total amount of banknotes remaining in each banknote in the stream + the number of customers that should be refunded. [0135] It is then determined by the manual cleaning machine whether the complement is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0136] 3) No billing without reloading: Recycling bins (must be manually counted) = (local statistics = bank background count = cash register logic count) - number of cash units and (excluding recycling bins, Can be obtained by automatic cleaning) + The number of customers should be refunded (can be obtained in running water).

[0137] The sum of the number of collection bins and the number of banknotes taken by the crew is determined by the manual cleaning machine, which is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0138] 4) If the local statistics = bank background count is not established, it is necessary to check whether the bank account and the local account are consistent.

[0139] The specific judgment process and feedback process are as follows:

[0140] If it is detected that there is banknote in the recycling bin, or the card occurs in the movement, or the re-expansion occurs, the calculated number of bins, the number of bills taken by the crew, and the number of re-openings are transferred to the clearing machine. The person confirms whether it matches the actual manual cleaning result.

[0141] Further, if it is detected that there is no banknote in the recycling bin, and the inorganic core has a banknote, and no re-expansion occurs, the theoretical clearing account formula should be established, and if the clearing account formula is not established, then Manual cleaning and inspection are carried out by the cleaning personnel, and the reasons for the failure of the clearing account formula are not established.

[0142] Further, if it is detected that there is no banknote in the recycling bin, and the inorganic core has a banknote, and no re-tension occurs, if the clearing formula is established, the ATM is finished this time, and no further need is needed. Perform manual cleaning.

[0143] Further, if it is detected that the recycling bin has banknotes, or the movement has a banknote, or a re-tensioning occurs, the cleaning personnel are required to perform manual cleaning, according to the calculated number of recycling bins, and the machine operator takes the card. Number of banknotes, number of sheets, number of manual site points for the recycling bin, manual on-site confirmation of the number of banknotes, and manual on-site confirmation of the number of sheets, the confirmation result is consistent with the calculated result, then the ATM is cleared At the end of the machine, there is no need to manually check the cash unit that has been automatically counted according to the second method.

[0144] Further, the above clearing account settlement formula is: local statistics=bank background count=cassette logic count=real amount, where:

[0145] Local Statistics = Local Banknotes + Local Deposits - Total local withdrawals (both available from local trading streams). [0146] For the clearing machine billing cycle, you can get the number of local banknotes, total local deposits, and total local withdrawals.

, from which you can calculate local statistics.

[0147] Real amount (actual banknotes) = number of each cash box and (excluding recycling bins, can be obtained by automatic cleaning) + number of bins (must be manually counted) - number of customers should be refunded Get) + the number of bills taken by the crew (which must be manually counted)

[0148] Cash box logic count = total amount of banknotes remaining in each banknote in the stream - number of customers to be refunded + complement (counting);

[0149] Bank background count = background billing number + background deposit total - background withdrawal total (both provided by the bank, AT M can be obtained by remote communication).

[0150] The number of collection bins (must be manually counted) + The number of banknotes taken by the crew (must be manually counted) = (local statistics = bank background count = cash register logic count) - number of cash units and (not Including the recycling bin, can be obtained according to the above method of this program) + The number of customers that should be refunded (can be obtained in running water).

[0151] If local statistics = bank background count is not established, you need to check whether bank account and local account are checked first.

[0152] If the re-tensioning occurs, the cashbox logic count cannot be automatically obtained, and the manual clearing machine is required to obtain the number of re-sheets, that is, the required complement of the logical cash-box count calculation, in order to calculate the cash register logic count. If there is no re-tension, there is a formula (local statistics = bank background count = cash box logic count).

[0153] Further, the clearing account formula refers to the self-service terminal in the calculation of the cleaning machine, according to the obtained data, the following equation can be obtained: Local statistics = bank background count = cash box logic count = real point amount (Note: None If the customer deposits and withdrawals are abnormal, it means that the self-service terminal has automatically cleared the account, otherwise the equation is not established, which means that the self-service terminal has a short or long paragraph in this automation, which means that the machine does not collect the account. Manual intervention, further clearing, confirming whether the accounts are balanced, among them

[0154] Local Statistics: refers to the statistics of the successful deposit and withdrawal operations of the self-service terminal to the customer. In the current cleaning section, local statistics = local banknotes + local deposits - total local withdrawals (device flow is recorded).

[0155] Cash box logic count: It means that the self-service terminal application layer counts the banknotes deposited or taken out through the cash box. After the machine is cleaned, the banknote logic count = the total amount of banknotes remaining in each banknote in the running water - the customer should be refunded Number + complement (counting re-folding); This case is automatic cleaning, and the premise of automatic cleaning is that no banknote recycling occurs, so the number of customers that should be returned here is 0, because the counting re-opening can only be counted out by manual cleaning. , so here The technical re-opening is considered to be zero.

[0156] Real amount (actual banknotes): refers to the number of banknotes actually drawn from each banknote after bank clearing machine + the number of banknotes taken by the crew - the number of customers should be refunded. This refers to the total amount of actual banknotes, which is different from the above three counts (they count the actual number of banknotes in the banknote); this case is automatic cleaning, and the premise of automatic cleaning is that no banknote recycling occurs, so this is the case. The number of customers who should be refunded is 0. Since the number of banknotes taken by the crew is only cleared by manual cleaning, the number of bills taken by the crew here is considered to be 0.

[0157] Bank background count: refers to the statistics of the successful check-and-sell transaction count of the client in a clearing machine segment, ie: bank background count = background credits + background deposit total - background withdrawal total (this Provided for the bank), the self-service terminal can send a request to obtain the bank background count during the automatic cleaning process, and the bank background will send the data to the self-service terminal.

[0158] In this embodiment, a transfer box is preset to assist the counting, and the banknotes of the cassette are automatically counted and temporarily stored in the transfer box, and the counting process is simple and easy to implement, and the automatic inventory efficiency of the cassette is improved.

[0159] In addition, manual manual counting is not required, cost is reduced, counting is performed using at least two counting processes, and the efficiency of confirming the authenticity of the banknotes in the cash box can be improved.

[0160] Furthermore, by clearing the account balance formula, the number of banknotes in the collection box, the number of banknotes, the number of sheets, and the number of sheets are calculated by calculation, which reduces the complexity of manual cleaning and saves maintenance. In the daytime.

[0161] The present invention further provides a cleaning method for a self-service terminal, the self-service terminal includes more than one cash box, a recycling box, a movement, and a cash box, wherein the cleaning method includes:

[0162] receiving a clearing instruction, the cleaning instruction including an indication of counting banknotes currently stored by the cashbox;

[0163] suspending the external service of the self-service terminal;

[0165] Record the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote that needs to be counted.

[0166] The cleaning method is different from the existing cleaning method in that the counting method adopted by the cleaning method of the present invention is inconsistent, and the counting method and the specific implementation process of the counting method of the above embodiment are brought about. The technical effects are basically the same. For details, refer to the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

[0167] In this embodiment, a counter transfer box is preset to assist the counting, and the banknotes of the cassette are automatically counted and temporarily stored in the intermediate transfer box, and the counting process is simple and easy to implement, and the automatic inventory efficiency of the cassette is improved. [0168] In addition, manual manual counting is not required, cost is reduced, counting is performed using at least two counting processes, and the efficiency of confirming the authenticity of the banknotes in the cash box can be improved.

[0169] Furthermore, the value of each data that needs manual cleaning is calculated by the flat account formula, and the manual cleaning machine can complete the entire cleaning process by confirming whether the data is consistent with the actual on-site clearing result, thereby greatly saving the Machine room.

It should be understood that the size of the serial number of each step in the foregoing embodiment does not mean the order of execution sequence, and the execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention. Any restrictions.

[0171] Corresponding to the counting method of the self-service terminal described in the foregoing embodiment, FIG. 5 is a structural block diagram of the automatic metering device of the self-service terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention. A portion related to an embodiment of the present invention.

4 is a structural diagram of a counting device for a self-service terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The self-service terminal includes one or more cash boxes, and the device includes: a receiving module 1 and a counting module connected to the receiving module 1 2. A recording module 3 connected to the counting module 2, wherein:

[0173] receiving module 1 for receiving an indication of counting banknotes of the cash box;

[0174] Specifically, when it is required to count the cash box, the maintenance personnel or the self-service terminal sends an indication of counting, the self-service terminal includes more than one cash box, and the cash box may include a deposit box and/or a cash box, and further includes recycling The box, as well as the movement, may also include other structures, such as a touch screen, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0175] The counting module 2 is configured to automatically count each of the cash boxes that need to be counted based on the indication and the preset intermediate cash box;

[0176] Specifically, according to the counting instruction, and with the assistance of the intermediate cash box, respectively count the banknotes for each banknote that needs to be counted, and the intermediate banknote box is preset, in order to enable the intermediate banknote box to be The counting operation plays a role in the budget design of the capacity. The minimum capacity of the intermediate transfer box should not be less than the number of banknotes currently stored in each cassette that needs to be counted, and the number of banknotes currently stored in the cassette can be based on experience. The value is obtained, for example, the average value of the remaining amount of the banknote of the banknote at a certain time, as the number of banknotes currently stored in the banknote, or obtained by using a sensor, for example, setting a height sensor for each banknote, Each of the cassettes has the same shape and volume (the length, width and height are the same, that is, the bottom area and height are the same). According to the sensor, the height of the banknote currently stored in the corresponding cassette is sensed, and each height is Corresponding to the approximate storage amount of a banknote, in order to obtain the current banknote storage capacity of the cash box, it should be noted that this method is not very accurate, or a subsequent counting method is needed to accurately calculate the banknote currently stored in each banknote. Quantity, here is just the method used to configure the corresponding intermediate cassette. In addition, the sensor can sense the height of the banknote currently stored in the banknote to obtain the current remaining capacity of the banknote (each height corresponds to a remaining capacity), thereby obtaining the maximum number of banknotes currently stored and the minimum number of banknotes currently stored. .

[0177] In order to facilitate the use of the intermediate transfer case in a subsequent process, the capacity of the intermediate transfer case is generally set relatively large, for example, half of the capacity of the cassette, or the capacity of the cassette, even larger than the capacity of the cassette. There is no limit to this. It should be noted that the counting step is usually used during the cleaning process. Therefore, the number of banknotes currently stored in each cash unit should be small, and all the intermediate transfer boxes generally do not have a large enough capacity.

[0178] The recording module 3 is configured to record the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote that needs to be counted.

[0179] In this embodiment, it is necessary to preset a transfer bank in the self-service terminal to assist the counting operation of the cash box.

[0180] Specifically, it is necessary to preset a transfer bank in the self-service terminal to assist the counting operation of the cash box, and the intermediate transfer box may be a certain empty box of the self-service terminal or a temporary storage box.

[0181] Further, there is an empty cash box 在 in the self-service terminal, and the empty cash box is used as a transfer cash box;

[0182] Alternatively, an empty cash box is disposed in the self-service terminal, and the empty execution cash box is an empty cash box, and is in an empty operation state throughout the cleaning period, that is, no business is performed.

[0183] or alternatively, setting a temporary storage box in the self-service terminal;

[0184] Further, when the capacity of the temporary storage box is small, the specific setting process is as follows:

[0185] setting a temporary storage box in the self-service terminal;

[0186] obtaining a maximum number of banknotes currently stored in one or more banknotes and a minimum number of banknotes currently stored; [0187] when the capacity of the temporary storage bin is not less than the maximum number of banknotes currently stored, using the temporary storage box as the Transfer banknote box.

[0188] Specifically, the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote is roughly counted, and the maximum number of banknotes currently stored and the minimum number of banknotes currently stored are obtained; the capacity of the temporary storage box and the maximum number of banknotes currently stored. For comparison, when the capacity of the temporary storage box is not less than the maximum number of banknotes currently stored, The temporary storage box is used as a transfer cash box, and when the capacity of the temporary storage box is less than the maximum value of the currently stored banknotes, it needs to be further compared with the minimum amount of banknotes currently stored, when the capacity of the temporary storage box is not less than The minimum number of banknotes currently stored 吋 indicates that the number of banknotes currently stored in the banknote is large, and the temporary storage box cannot function as an auxiliary cycle, which can only assist the current stored banknotes to be smaller than the capacity of the temporary storage bins. The cash box, therefore, the cash box corresponding to the minimum number of banknotes currently stored is used as the intermediate banknote, and the banknotes currently stored in the banknote are taken out, stored in the temporary storage box, and the banknote counting count is performed, and the record is recorded. Relevant data, after all the cassettes have finished counting, put the banknotes stored in the temporary storage box back into the cassette.

[0189] In a preferred embodiment of the embodiment, during the counting process, the banknote verification is required first. When the banknote abnormality occurs, the corresponding banknote needs to be stored in the recycling box, and the number of the abnormal banknotes is not counted. Into the total count, or after the count is completed, the number of abnormal banknotes stored in the recycle bin is subtracted as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cashbox.

[0190] In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, it is a specific structural diagram of a counting module 2 of a preferred manner of the counting device of the self-service terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention, As the intermediate cassette, the counting module 2 specifically includes: a first counting unit 21, a second counting unit ₂₂ connected to the first counting unit 21, and a recording unit 23 connected to the second counting unit 22, wherein:

[0191] The first counting unit 21 is configured to take out the banknotes of the cash box that need to be counted, perform the first counting and counting, and temporarily store the banknotes;

[0192] The second counting unit 22 is configured to take out the banknote temporarily stored in the empty cash box, perform a second counting and counting, and return it to the cash box stored therein;

[0193] The recording unit 23 is configured to record and check the first count count data and the second count count data.

[0194] In still another preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, an empty cash cassette is provided as the intermediate transfer cassette, and the above counting module 2 performs the same function as described above, except that the empty execution cassette is replaced by the empty cassette as the intermediate cassette. .

[0195] For ease of understanding, the following implementations of the counting module 2 are described by way of example:

[0196] Assuming that the A cash unit is an empty cash box, A can be used as a transfer box, and the banknotes of the BCDE cassette (see FIG. 7) are counted through the A banknote through the banknote detection channel, and the banknotes are returned to the original banknote after the counting is completed. Box, that is, the banknote

: B cassette _ Detector 76_A cassette _ Detector 76_B cassette (count B), other CDE cassettes.

[0197] In this way, the number of banknotes remaining in the B-carrying box, the C-carrying box, the D-carrying box, and the E-carrying box is counted in turn. In addition, F banknote As a recycling bin, it is specially used to store the customer's forgotten recycled banknotes, and is not included in the statistical counting range.

[0198] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a temporary storage box is disposed in the self-service terminal, and the self-service terminal currently has an empty cash box. As shown in FIG. 6, the self-service terminal is provided in the embodiment of the present invention. A specific configuration diagram of the counting module 2 of the preferred embodiment of the counting device, the counting module 2 specifically includes: a first counting banknote detecting unit 201, a second counting banknote detecting unit 202 connected to the first counting banknote detecting unit 201, and The first counting unit 203 connected to the second counting banknote detecting unit 202, wherein:

[0199] The first counting banknote detecting unit 201 is configured to use a cash box that needs to be counted as a cash box, and an empty bank box as a cash box, and the banknotes are taken out from the cash box and temporarily stored in the cash box, and Count and record the number of banknotes for the first time;

[0200] The second counting banknote detecting unit 202 is configured to take out the banknotes from the cash transfer box and store them in the cash box, and perform the second counting and record the number of the tickets;

[0201] The first quantity recording unit 203, until the banknote of the cash dispenser is taken, is used to count the number of the first total banknotes taken out from the cash dispenser to the cash box and the first to be taken out from the cash box to the cash box The total number of banknotes is the total number of banknotes currently stored in the cash dispenser.

[0202] Further, the counting module 2 may further include:

[0203] a comparison control unit, configured to compare the calculated first total banknote quantity with the second total banknote quantity, and when the two are consistent, the total number of the first banknotes is used as the number of banknotes currently stored in the corresponding banknote box, When the two are inconsistent, the feedback is given to the first technical unit 201, and the above steps are performed again to count again. It should be noted that, if the capacity of the intermediate cassette is less than the number of banknotes currently stored in the cassette, it is necessary to take more than two banknotes from the cassette, but the process of counting the banknotes and the counting process are consistent. After the banknotes are counted, the final number of banknotes is obtained.

[0204] In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the counting module 2 may further include: a third counting banknote detecting unit 204 connected to the first quantity recording unit 203, and a third counting banknote detecting unit 204 connected The four-count counterfeit unit 205, the second number recording unit 206 connected to the fourth counter money detecting unit 205, the first judging unit 207 connected to the second number recording unit 206, and the number determining unit connected to the first judging unit 207 20 8 and a second determining unit 209, wherein:

[0205] The third counting banknote detecting unit 204 is configured to take out the banknotes from the cash box, count and store in the intermediate banknote box; [0206] The fourth counting banknote detecting unit 205 is configured to take out banknotes from the cash transfer box, count and store them in the cash dispensing box.

[0207] The second quantity recording unit 206 is configured to count the number of the third total banknotes that are taken out from the cash box to the cash box and the first to be taken out from the cash box to the cash box when the banknotes of the cash box are taken out The total number of four banknotes, the number of third banknotes being used as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cash box;

[0208] The first determining unit 207 is configured to determine whether the first total banknote amount is equal to the third total banknote amount, and if it is determined to be 吋 feedback to the quantity determining unit 208, otherwise fed back to the second determining unit 209;

[0209] The quantity determining unit 208 is configured to use the first total banknote amount as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cash box that needs to be counted;

[0210] The second determining unit 209 is configured to determine whether at least three of the total number of the first banknotes, the total number of the second banknotes, the total number of the third banknotes, and the total number of the fourth banknotes are equal to If yes, it is fed back to the quantity determining unit 208, otherwise it is fed back to the above-mentioned first counting unit 201, and the counting operation is newly performed.

[0211] The above-described quantity determining unit 208 is further configured to use the total number of equal banknotes as the number of banknotes currently stored in the cash unit to be counted;

[0212] It should be noted that the counting process of each cash box uses the above counting process to obtain the number of banknotes currently stored in each banknote.

[0213] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes: a calculation module connected to the recording module 3, a determination module connected to the calculation module, and a feedback module connected to the determination module, where: the calculation module is configured to: Calculate the number of theoretical abnormal banknotes in the recycling bin according to the clearing account formula;

[0214] a judging module, configured to determine whether an abnormal banknote exists in the recycling bin;

[0215] a feedback module, configured to feed back to the cleaning personnel based on the determination result.

[0216] Specifically, the abnormal banknote includes at least one of the following: the user forgets the banknote, the banknote abnormal banknote, the double banknote, the banknote banknote, and the like. The specific calculation method is as follows:

[0217] 1) No re-issued banknotes: Recycling bins (must be manually counted) + Pipeman taking bills (must be manually counted) = (local statistics = bank background count = cash register logic count) - The number of each cash box and (excluding the recycling bin, can be obtained by automatic cleaning) + The number of customers that should be refunded (can be obtained by running water).

[0218] The sum of the number of collection bins and the number of banknotes taken by the crew is determined by the manual cleaning machine, and whether it is compared with the actual manual cleaning machine. The fruit matches.

[0219] 2) There are re-issued banknotes: The number of recycling bins (must be manually counted) + The number of banknotes taken by the crew (must be manually counted) = (local statistics = bank background count) - number of cash registers And (excluding recycling bins, which can be obtained by automated cleaning) + The number of customers that should be refunded (can be obtained by running water).

[0220] The sum of the number of collection bins and the number of banknotes taken by the crew is determined by the manual cleaning machine, which is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0221] Wherein the replenishment complement = (local statistics = bank background count) - the total amount of banknotes remaining in each banknote in the stream + the number of customers that should be refunded.

[0222] It is then determined by the manual cleaning machine whether the complement is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0223] 3) No bills without reloading: Recycling bins (must be counted manually) = (local statistics = bank background count = cash register logic count) - number of cash units and (excluding recycling bins, Can be obtained by automatic cleaning) + The number of customers should be refunded (can be obtained in running water).

[0224] The sum of the number of collection bins and the number of banknotes taken by the crew is determined by the manual cleaning machine, which is consistent with the actual manual cleaning result.

[0225] 4) If the local statistics = bank background count is not established, it is necessary to check whether the bank account and the local account are consistent.

[0226] The specific judgment process and feedback process are as follows:

[0227] If it is detected that there is banknote in the recycling bin, or the card occurs in the movement, or the re-tensioning occurs, the calculated number of bins, the number of banknotes taken by the crew, and the number of re-openings are transferred to the machine. The person confirms whether it matches the actual manual cleaning result.

[0228] Further, if it is detected that there is no banknote in the recycling bin, and the inorganic core has a banknote, and no re-expansion occurs, the theoretical clearing account formula should be established, and if the clearing formula is not established, then Manual cleaning and inspection are carried out by the cleaning personnel, and the reasons for the failure of the clearing account formula are not established.

[0229] Further, if it is detected that there is no banknote in the recycling bin, and the inorganic core has a banknote, and no re-expansion occurs, if the clearing account formula is established, then the ATM is finished, and no further need is needed. Perform manual cleaning.

[0230] Further, if it is detected that the recycling bin has banknotes, or the movement has a banknote, or the re-tensioning occurs, the cleaning personnel are required to perform the manual cleaning, according to the calculated number of the recycling bins, and the pipeman takes the card. Number of banknotes , the number of re-sheets, the manual site number of the recycling bin, the number of banknotes will be manually confirmed on site, and the number of re-sheets will be manually confirmed on site, and the confirmation result will be consistent with the calculated result, then the ATM will end this cleaning. It is not necessary to manually check the cash unit that has been automatically counted according to the second method.

[0231] Further, the above clearing account settlement formula is: local statistics=bank background count=cassette logic count=real amount, where:

[0232] Local Statistics = Local Banknotes + Local Deposits - Total local withdrawals (both available from local transactions).

[0233] In the cash-filling cycle of this machine, the number of local banknotes, the total amount of local deposits, and the total amount of local withdrawals can be obtained.

, from which you can calculate local statistics.

[0234] Real amount (actual banknotes) = number of each cash box and (excluding recycling bins, can be obtained by automatic cleaning) + number of bins (must be manually counted) - number of customers should be refunded Get) + the number of bills taken by the crew (which must be manually counted)

[0235] Cash unit logic count = total amount of banknotes remaining in each banknote in the stream - number of customers to be refunded + complement (counting re-expansion);

[0236] Bank background count = background billing number + background deposit total - background withdrawal total (both provided by the bank, AT M can be obtained by remote communication).

[0237] The number of collection bins (must be manually counted) + The number of banknotes taken by the crew (must be manually counted) = (local statistics = bank background count = cash register logic count) - number of cash units and (not Including the recycling bin, can be obtained according to the above method of this program) + The number of customers that should be refunded (can be obtained in running water).

[0238] If local statistics = bank background count is not established, you need to check whether bank account and local account are checked first.

[0239] If the re-expanding situation occurs, the cash register logic count cannot be automatically obtained, and the manual clearing machine is required to obtain the re-sheet number, that is, the complement required for the logical banknote counting calculation, to calculate the cash box logic count. If there is no re-tension, there is a formula (local statistics = bank background count = cash box logic count).

[0240] Further, the clearing account formula refers to the self-service terminal in the calculation of the clearing machine, according to the obtained data, the following equation can be obtained: Local statistics = bank background count = cash box logic count = real point amount (Note: None If the customer deposits and withdrawals are abnormal, it means that the self-service terminal has automatically cleared the account, otherwise the equation is not established. This means that the self-service terminal has a short or long paragraph in this automation, which means that the machine does not collect the account, it needs manual intervention, and further clears the machine to confirm whether the account is balanced.

[0241] Local Statistics: refers to the statistics of the successful deposit and withdrawal operations of the self-service terminal to the customer. In the current cleaning section, local statistics = local banknotes + local deposits - total local withdrawals (device flow is recorded).

[0242] Cash box logic count: It means that the self-service terminal application layer counts the banknotes deposited or taken out through the cash box. After the machine is cleared, the banknote logic count = the total amount of banknotes remaining in each banknote in the running water - the customer should be refunded Number + complement (counting re-folding); This case is automatic cleaning, and the premise of automatic cleaning is that no banknote recycling occurs, so the number of customers that should be returned here is 0, because the counting re-opening can only be counted out by manual cleaning. Therefore, the technical review here is considered to be 0.

[0243] Real amount (actual banknotes): Refers to the bank clearing machine, the number of banknotes actually drawn from each banknote + the number of banknotes taken by the crew - the number of customers should be refunded. This refers to the total amount of actual banknotes, which is different from the above three counts (they count the actual number of banknotes in the banknote); this case is automatic cleaning, and the premise of automatic cleaning is that no banknote recycling occurs, so this is the case. The number of customers who should be refunded is 0. Since the number of banknotes taken by the crew is only cleared by manual cleaning, the number of bills taken by the crew here is considered to be 0.

[0244] Bank background count: refers to the statistics of the successful check-and-sell transaction count of the client in a clearing machine segment, ie: bank background count = background credits + background deposit total - background withdrawal total (this Provided for the bank), the self-service terminal can send a request to obtain the bank background count during the automatic cleaning process, and the bank background will send the data to the self-service terminal.

[0245] In this embodiment, a counter transfer box is preset to assist the counting, and the banknotes of the cassette are automatically counted and temporarily stored in the intermediate transfer box, and the counting process is simple and easy to implement, and the automatic inventory efficiency of the cassette is improved.

[0246] In addition, manual manual counting is not required, cost is reduced, counting is performed using at least two counting processes, and the efficiency of confirming the authenticity of the banknotes in the cassette can be improved.

[0247] Furthermore, by clearing the account settlement formula, the number of banknotes in the collection box, the number of banknotes, the number of sheets, and the number of sheets are calculated by calculation, which reduces the complexity of manual cleaning and saves maintenance. In the daytime.

[0248] The present invention further provides a cleaning device, which includes a cleaning module and a counting device connected to the cleaning module. The counting device is substantially identical to the structure of the above embodiment. Description, no longer repeat here. The clearing module is used for clearing the self-service terminal.

[0249] The present invention also provides a self-service terminal, as shown in FIG. 7, which is a self-service terminal provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram of the end part, the self-service terminal includes a touch screen (not shown), a speaker (not shown), a movement 75 (upper movement 751 and lower movement 752), more than one cassette (for example, ABCDEF) The temporary storage module 71, the reversing blade 72, the depositing port 73, the money collecting port 74, the bill validator 76, and the cleaning device described in the above embodiment, the specific structure and working principle of the cleaning device and the above embodiment The descriptions are basically the same and will not be described here.

[0250] In the present invention, a transfer box is preset to assist the counting, and the banknotes of the cassette are automatically counted and temporarily stored in the intermediate transfer box, and the counting process is simple and easy to implement, and the automatic inventory efficiency of the cassette is improved.

[0251] In addition, manual manual counting is not required, cost is reduced, counting is performed using at least two counting processes, and the efficiency of confirming the authenticity of the banknotes in the cassette can be improved.

[0252] Furthermore, the value of each data that needs manual cleaning is calculated by the flat account formula, and the manual cleaning machine can complete the entire cleaning process by confirming whether the data is consistent with the actual on-site clearing result, thereby greatly saving the Machine room.
