Detailed Description

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from 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 present invention with unnecessary detail.

In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.

Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a first ATM clearing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, where fig. 1 mainly describes a communication flow between a server (e.g. clearing server) and an ATM from the server, and details are as follows:

step S11, detecting whether the ATM receives the ATM clear command.

Specifically, the ATM will receive the ATM clear command in either of the following cases: when a maintenance worker initiates a clearing command to the ATM; when a server (ATM clearing server or remote server) sends a clearing instruction to the ATM; when the ATM meets the ATM clearing instruction triggering condition. The conditions for meeting the trigger of the ATM clear command include, but are not limited to:

for example, when the orientation space (or the residual space) for deposit is lower than a preset value, or the residual bank note amount of only the bank note taking box for withdrawal is lower than a preset value, or when a preset clearing time is reached, or when the set state of a certain bank note box is low (such as the reaction speed is too slow), or when the set recovery box is full, or when the core is jammed, an ATIM clearing instruction is automatically triggered.

And step S12, when the ATM receives the ATM clearing instruction, judging whether the ATM has a recycled banknote event.

Specifically, whether a recycled banknote event exists or not refers to whether a banknote recycled event occurs in the cleaning cycle or not, namely whether a banknote exists in a recycling bin or not.

In the step, the server side can judge whether the ATM has the recycled banknote event by acquiring the banknote amount of the recycling box of the ATM, or the server side receives the information which is sent by the ATM and contains whether the recycled banknote event exists, and then the server side judges whether the ATM has the recycled banknote event according to the received information.

And step S13, when the ATM has no recycled bill event, sending an ATM clearing execution instruction to the ATM.

The method comprises the steps that the number of the banknotes left by a recovery user cannot be determined, and the authenticity of the banknotes cannot be determined, so that when a banknote recovery event exists, manual banknote cleaning is needed to ensure the accuracy of the account balancing of the banknote cleaning machine, after the fact that the banknote recovery event does not exist in the ATM is determined, an ATM cleaning execution instruction is sent to the ATM, and the ATM can automatically clean the banknote after receiving the ATM cleaning execution instruction.

And step S14, receiving the clearing and tie-account result sent by the ATM after the clearing execution instruction is executed.

The clearing and tie-account result means that the data acquired by the ATM can meet the following equation when the ATM is in clearing calculation and has no abnormal deposit and withdrawal of customers: if the equation is not established, the ATM is automatically short or long at this time, the ATM is not cleared, and manual intervention is needed to clear the account to confirm whether the account is balanced or not. Wherein:

local statistics: means the statistics of the successful depositing and withdrawing operation of the client by the equipment (the equipment can be an ATM or a local ATM clearing server). In the current time period of the machine cleaning, the local statistics is the local cash adding amount + the local deposit total amount-the local withdrawal total amount (the specific data such as the local cash adding amount can be obtained through the equipment running record).

Counting the banknote box logically: the method is characterized in that an application layer of the device counts banknotes stored in or taken out of a banknote box, and after the device is cleared, the logical counting of the banknote box is the total amount of the counting of the remaining banknotes in each banknote box in the flowing water, the number of clients to be withdrawn and the complement number (counting repeat, namely the value of repeated calculation). When the automatic clearing condition is met, the situation that no banknote recovery event occurs is indicated, the number of the clients to be returned is 0, and the counted overlapped sheets can be counted only when the machine is cleared manually, so that the counted overlapped sheets are considered to be 0.

Amount of real dots (i.e. actual number of banknotes): the number of the banknotes actually counted from each banknote box is the sum of the number of the banknotes taken by a machine operator and the number of the clients to be returned when the bank is cleared. The real-point amount refers to the total amount of the actual paper money, and is different from the three counts, and the real-point amount is the count for counting the actual number of the paper money in the paper money box; when the automatic clearing condition is met, the situation that no banknote recovery event occurs is indicated, the number of the clients to be returned is 0, and the number of the banknotes taken by the tube operator can be counted only when the automatic clearing condition is met, so that the number of the banknotes taken by the tube operator is also considered to be 0.

Counting the background of the bank: the method refers to statistics of successful deposit and withdrawal transaction counts of a client in a clearing time period by a background system, namely: the background counting is background money adding number + background deposit total amount-background withdrawal total amount (provided for the bank), the ATM can send a request for obtaining the background counting of the bank in the automatic clearing process, and the bank background can send the data to the ATM. In a bank's front-end processor system: the front-end system is a bank accounting system directly connected with the ATM, and records the deposit and withdrawal transaction of each customer, generally in units of one day.

And step S15, judging whether the ATM is cleared according to the clearing and account balancing result, and reminding manual clearing again when the ATM is cleared and account is not cleared.

Optionally, after the clearing, the ATM machine may be subjected to a banknote adding operation, that is, after the step S15, the method includes:

and A1, acquiring the bill adding type of the ATM. The money adding type comprises the following steps: the type of manual bill adding and the type of manual bill adding are not required. Further, if the clearing type of the ATM is combined, the types which do not need to be added by people can be divided into: neither manual clearing nor manual adding of bank notes is required, and only manual clearing and manual adding of bank notes are required. The types of money needing to be added manually can be divided into: the manual cash-in is only carried out when the manual cash-in is not carried out temporarily, the manual cash-in is only needed when the manual cash-in is not needed, and the manual cash-in is needed when the manual cash-in is not needed.

And A2, adding money to the ATM according to the money adding type of the ATM and a preset money adding strategy. Wherein, the preset money adding strategy comprises: the mode of adding the paper money (such as manual money adding or automatic money adding), whether the person who adds the paper money is needed, what type of person who adds the paper money is needed, and the like.

Optionally, the a2 includes:

a21, when the paper money adding type of the ATM does not need manual paper money adding, automatically transferring the paper money in the deposit paper money box of the ATM into the withdrawal paper money box of the ATM.

A22, when the cash adding type of the ATM is that manual cash adding is needed, a designated cash adding person is informed to add cash to the ATM.

When the money adding type does not need manual money adding, the corresponding ATM can be an access all-in-one machine or a circulation all-in-one machine, the server end sends an automatic money adding instruction to the ATM, and the ATM executes the automatic money adding instruction to realize the automatic money adding function, for example, money is added to a money withdrawing box by using the money in a money depositing box of the access all-in-one machine or the circulation all-in-one machine. Specifically, the residual space amount of the money withdrawing box and the money amount of the money depositing box are obtained, the minimum value of the two money amounts is determined, and the determined minimum value of the money amount is counted from the money depositing box and stored in the money withdrawing box. The bank note counting amount in the deposit bank note box of the ATM is stored in the withdrawal bank note box, so that the bank notes do not need to be transported again, the transport turnaround time of the bank notes is reduced, the bank fund yield is improved, the utilization rate of the bank notes is improved, and the opening rate of the ATM is improved.

Of course, the banknote adding amount threshold value of each banknote adding can be preset, or a specific banknote adding amount threshold value is set by a banknote adding initiator when an automatic banknote adding instruction is sent out, if the determined minimum banknote amount is smaller than the banknote adding amount threshold value, only the determined minimum banknote amount is stored in the withdrawal banknote box from the deposit banknote box, otherwise, the determined minimum banknote amount corresponding to the clearing point in the deposit banknote box is stored in the withdrawal banknote box according to the banknote adding amount threshold value.

Specifically, when the following 5 banknote adding types are present, the banknote adding operation is as follows:

1) neither manual clearing nor manual money adding is required: in the situation, only the access all-in-one machine or the circulation all-in-one machine is used, under the condition that no banknote recovery event occurs, the automatic clearing is executed, the clearing and account leveling is realized, then the automatic banknote adding (namely, the banknotes of the deposited banknote box are automatically transferred into the withdrawn banknote box) is executed by the machine (ATM), and after the deposited resources and the withdrawn resources of the access all-in-one machine or the circulation all-in-one machine meet preset target values, maintenance personnel do not need to be informed to add the banknotes any more.

2) Only manual money adding is carried out, and manual clearing is not carried out temporarily: in the ATM service peak period, in order to quickly meet the service requirement, the automatic banknote adding is carried out on the ATM through the banknote adding device, but the banknote adding is not carried out in the clearing process, and the banknote adding is not taken as the beginning of a banknote adding period and is regarded as a supplemented banknote in the middle period of the banknote adding period.

3) Only need artifical clear machine not need artifical adding paper money: namely, on the premise that the banknotes in the cash box in the ATM are enough to meet the capacity requirement of the cash box, if the banknotes exist in the recycling box of the ATM, or the phenomena of repeated opening or cash flying in the cassette mechanism or cassette mechanism clamping and the like occur in the transaction process, the ATM is only required to be manually cleaned, and after the machine is cleaned and the balance is leveled, the banknotes in the cash box can be utilized to automatically add the banknotes to the cash box without transporting the banknotes to manually add the banknotes.

4) The manual clearing machine is not needed, and only the manual money adding is needed: that is, after the ATM service software executes the automatic cash clearing machine to realize cash clearing and tie account, the maintenance personnel is required to add cash, or, under the condition that the automatic cash recycling does not occur, the automatic cash clearing machine is executed by the access all-in-one machine or the circulation all-in-one machine to realize cash clearing and tie account, and then the machine automatically adds cash (namely, the cash of the deposit cash box is automatically transferred into the withdrawal cash box), and after the deposit resource and the withdrawal resource of the access all-in-one machine or the circulation all-in-one machine still do not meet the preset target value, the maintenance personnel is required to be informed to add cash further.

5) Not only needs manual clearing machine but also needs manual money adding: namely, on the premise that the recycling box has the recycled bank notes, or on the premise that the bank notes in the deposit phase in the ATM can meet the capacity requirement of the money withdrawing box, the bank notes cannot be leveled after the automatic clearing machine, manual intervention processing needs to be informed, and manual clearing and bank note adding are carried out.

Optionally, after the a21, comprising:

and judging whether the total sum of the banknotes in the ATM money withdrawing box is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value or not, and informing a designated banknote adding person to add the banknotes to the ATM when the total sum of the banknotes in the ATM money withdrawing box is less than the preset threshold value. The preset threshold may be set according to actual conditions, for example, the money withdrawal amount of the money to be withdrawn on different dates and time periods on different dates (usually, half a day) is counted in advance, and the counted average money withdrawal amount of the money to be withdrawn on different dates and time periods on different dates is used as the preset threshold. Because the demand of the user to the bank note is different in the time quantum of different dates, consequently, the threshold value that the time quantum set up according to different dates, different dates can be more nimble, and then guarantees that the bank note volume in the cash withdrawal box satisfies user's demand.

Specifically, in combination with the above 5 banknote adding types, the categories of the banknote adding personnel can be divided into:

1) clearing personnel: without carrying the banknotes, there is a possibility of direct contact with a small amount of cash, requiring the machine cleaning process to be monitored.

2) The money adding personnel: the bill added is required to be carried, the machine cleaning process monitoring is not required, and the cash is not required to be directly contacted.

3) Clearing machine and money adding personnel: the cash adding machine is required to carry cash adding cash when the cash is added.

Corresponding to the above 5 banknote adding types, what types of banknote adding personnel are required in the preset banknote adding strategy includes:

1) for the ATM which does not need manual clearing and manual money adding, maintenance personnel do not need to be arranged for field intervention processing.

2) For the ATM which only carries out manual money adding and does not carry out manual clearing temporarily, only the money adding personnel needs to be arranged to carry out on-site intervention processing.

3) For the ATM which only needs manual clearing and does not need manual cash adding, only clearing personnel need to be arranged to carry out on-site intervention treatment, and the clearing personnel do not need to carry cash added.

4) For the ATM which does not need manual clearing and only needs manual money adding, only the money adding personnel needs to be arranged for field intervention processing.

5) For the ATM which needs both manual clearing and manual money adding, clearing personnel and money adding personnel are required to be arranged for on-site intervention processing.

Because clear machine with paper money of the clear machine that belongs to the ATM of different grade type is added the paper money and is adopted different clear machine with paper money strategies, through the artifical clear machine with paper money of this ATM of guide and the artifical clear machine with paper money of the on-the-spot further processing of different kinds of maintainers for clear machine with paper money matches the maintainer of corresponding skill every time, the clear machine with paper money task of rational distribution maintainer, also rationally control how much the volume of adding paper money simultaneously, make the empty rate of paper money and escort cost minimum, the risk is minimum.

In the embodiment of the invention, whether an ATM receives an ATM clearing instruction is detected, whether a recycled banknote event exists in the ATM is judged when the ATM receives the ATM clearing instruction, an ATM clearing execution instruction is sent to the ATM when the ATM does not have the recycled banknote event, a clearing balance result sent after the ATM executes the clearing execution instruction is received, and whether the ATM is cleared according to the clearing balance result is judged so as to remind people to clear again when the ATM is not cleared. When the ATM does not have the event of recovering the banknotes, the ATM clearing execution instruction is sent to the ATM, so that the ATM can realize automatic clearing operation without manual participation, the clearing efficiency is improved, and the labor cost is reduced. In addition, because when the ATM is not flat, the ATM is reminded of manual re-clearing, therefore, the ATM can be reminded of manual re-clearing in time, and the clearing efficiency and the success rate are improved.

Fig. 2 shows a flowchart of a second ATM clearing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 mainly describes a communication flow between an ATM end and a server from the ATM end, which is detailed as follows:

and step S21, when the ATM clearing instruction is received, judging whether a recycled banknote event exists.

The sender and trigger condition of the ATM clear command are the same as those in step S11, and are not described herein again.

And step S22, when the recovered banknote event does not exist, receiving an ATM clearing machine execution instruction.

And step S23, executing the clearing operation according to the ATM clearing execution instruction.

And step S24, sending the clearing and tie-out result obtained by executing the clearing operation to the server.

The clearing and tie-account result means that when the ATM is in clearing computing and has no abnormal deposit and withdrawal of customers, the acquired data can satisfy the following equation: if the equation is not established, the ATM is automatically short or long at this time, the ATM is not cleared, and manual intervention is needed to clear the account to confirm whether the account is balanced or not.

Optionally, the step S23 includes:

and B1, counting the banknote quantity of each banknote box. In particular, the amount of banknotes in the cassette can be estimated from the weight of the banknotes in the cassette.

And B2, judging whether an empty cash box exists according to the statistical result. Specifically, the weight of an empty banknote box is stored in advance, after the weight of the banknote box is obtained, the obtained weight of the banknote box is compared with the weight of the empty banknote box stored in advance, and if the weight of the empty banknote box is the same as the weight of the empty banknote box, or the difference is smaller than a preset difference threshold, the empty banknote box is determined.

And B3, when an empty banknote box exists, taking the empty banknote box as a temporary banknote storage area of a non-empty banknote box to realize counting of the non-empty banknote box. Specifically, the banknotes of each banknote box are stored in an empty banknote box one by one, after counting is completed, the banknotes temporarily stored in the empty banknote box are stored in the original banknote box according to the completed counting, and the principle of the banknote counting is as follows:

as shown in fig. 6, if the banknote box a is an empty banknote box, the banknote box a can be used as a transit box, BCDE banknotes are counted through the banknote checking channel a, and after counting is completed, the banknotes flow back to the original banknote box, that is, the banknotes move towards: the banknote box B, the banknote detector, the banknote box A, the banknote detector, the banknote box B (counting B), and the other CDE banknote boxes are analogized.

Therefore, the residual bank note numbers in the bank note box B, the bank note box C, the bank note box D and the bank note box E are counted in sequence. In addition, the F paper money box is used as a recycling box and is specially used for storing paper money forgotten by a customer and is not within a counting range.

If the code is adopted for realization, the realization process is as follows: the cleaning condition is set as follows: the CAS _ A cash box is a transfer box, the cash box A is empty, namely in the clearing cycle, the cash box A is always empty, and no cash is fed in or out.

A tie account formula: num (host number) ═ Sum (CAS _ B, CAS _ C, CAS _ D, CAS _ E)

The number of the main machine is the sum of the number of the BCDE money boxes

And others: the CAS _ F banknote box is a recovered banknote forgotten to be taken by a customer, does not count in the main machine of the device, and belongs to a banknote to be returned of the customer.

And B4, judging whether a temporary storage device exists or not when no empty cash box exists. The temporary storage device can be pre-installed or added when money is added manually.

And B5, when the temporary storage device exists, counting the money box by using the temporary storage device.

Optionally, the B5 includes:

and B51, when the temporary storage device exists, judging whether the space of the temporary storage device is not less than the residual banknote amount in each banknote box. Specifically, the weight of the bank note can be determined through the weight of the bank note box and the weight of the empty bank note box, and the amount of the bank note in the bank note box can be estimated according to the weight of the bank note and the weight of a single bank note.

And B52, when the space of the temporary storage device is not less than the residual bank note amount in each bank note box, using the temporary storage device as a temporary bank note storage area of each bank note box to realize counting of each bank note box. Specifically, the paper money of each paper money box is used as a temporary storage area by the temporary storage device, and after the paper money counting is finished, the paper money on the temporary storage device is counted again and checked, and then the original stored paper money box is stored.

And B53, when the space of the temporary storage device is not less than the minimum residual bank note amount in each bank note box, temporarily storing the bank notes of the bank note box corresponding to the minimum residual bank note amount in the temporary storage device to obtain an empty bank note box, and then using the empty bank note box as a bank note temporary storage area of other bank note boxes to realize counting of each bank note box. Specifically, the banknotes in the banknote box with the least residual banknotes can be counted and temporarily stored in the temporary storage device; and then the empty banknote boxes are used as transfer boxes, the number of the remaining banknotes in each banknote box is counted in sequence, and the banknotes in each banknote box are stored in the original banknote box.

And B54, when the space of the temporary storage device is smaller than the minimum residual bank note amount in each bank note box, determining the bank note box with the minimum residual bank note amount and the bank note box with the second minimum residual bank note amount, emptying the bank note box with the minimum residual bank note amount by using the temporary storage device and the bank note box with the second minimum residual bank note amount to obtain an emptied bank note box, and using the emptied bank note box as a bank note temporary storage area of other bank note boxes to realize counting of each bank note box. Specifically, when there is no empty banknote cassette but there is a temporary storage device, and the space of the temporary storage device is smaller than the minimum remaining banknote amount in each banknote cassette, the banknote cassette with the minimum remaining banknote amount and the banknote cassette with the second minimum remaining banknote amount are found out first, if the remaining space of the banknote cassette with the second minimum remaining banknote amount is predicted, all banknotes in the banknote cassette with the minimum remaining banknote amount can be accommodated, or if the remaining space of the banknote cassette with the second minimum remaining banknote amount is predicted plus the temporary storage capacity space, all banknotes in the banknote cassette with the minimum remaining banknote amount can be accommodated, the counting and counting can be performed according to the following method:

firstly, estimating the residual capacity of a money box with the second few residual money;

counting out corresponding number of bank notes from the bank note box with the least amount of remaining bank notes according to the remaining capacity of the bank note box with the second least amount of remaining bank notes, temporarily storing the bank notes in a temporary storage device, counting the bank notes on the temporary storage device again after finishing primary counting, and storing the bank notes in the bank note box with the second least amount of remaining bank notes. The temporary storage can be used for multiple times, and the banknotes in the banknote box with the least residual banknotes are counted and stored in the banknote box with the second least residual banknotes according to the method until the banknote box with the least residual banknotes is emptied.

If the banknote box with the second few residual banknotes is full of banknotes and the banknote box with the least residual banknotes still has banknotes, the banknotes in the banknote box with the least residual banknotes are counted, counted and stored in the temporary storage device.

And taking the empty paper money box with the least residual paper money as a transfer box, counting the residual paper money of other paper money boxes, and storing the paper money of each paper money box back to the original paper money box. And then, counting the banknotes in the banknote box with the second few residual banknotes by utilizing the emptied banknote box according to the method, counting the banknotes on the temporary storage device, and storing the banknotes in the original banknote box.

In the embodiment of the invention, the corresponding clearing operation is executed according to the existence of the empty cash box and the existence of different conditions of the temporary storage device, so that more accurate clearing and tie-out results can be ensured, and the accuracy of the clearing and tie-out results is improved.

It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

Corresponding to the first ATM clearing method described in the above embodiment, fig. 3 shows a block diagram of an ATM clearing system provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and for convenience of explanation, only the relevant parts related to the embodiment of the present invention are shown.

Referring to fig. 3, the ATM purge system includes: the system comprises an ATM clearing instruction detection unit 31, a judging unit 32 for judging whether a recycled banknote event exists or not, an ATM clearing execution instruction sending unit 33, a clearing tie account result receiving unit 34 and a manual re-clearing reminding unit 35. Wherein:

the ATM clear command detecting unit 31 is configured to detect whether the ATM receives an ATM clear command.

A recycled banknote event presence determination unit 32 for determining whether a recycled banknote event is present at the ATM when the ATM receives an ATM clear command.

Specifically, whether the ATM has a recycled banknote event or not can be judged by acquiring the banknote amount of a recycling box of the ATM, or whether the ATM has the recycled banknote event or not can be judged by receiving information which is sent by the ATM and contains whether the recycled banknote event or not and then judging whether the ATM has the recycled banknote event or not according to the received information.

An ATM clear machine execution instruction transmitting unit 33 for transmitting an ATM clear machine execution instruction to the ATM when there is no event of recovering bills in the ATM.
