Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automated teller machine (ATM), to a system for monitoring and controlling cash cassettes received in an ATM and to a cash cassette for use in such a system.
  • ATM automated teller machine
  • ATMs Automated teller machines
  • Cash is typically stored in ATMs in one or more refillable cash cassettes.
  • cash cassettes facilitates replenishment and servicing of ATMs, as empty or malfunctioning cash cassettes can simply be removed and replaced with correctly functioning full cash cassettes. The removed cash cassettes can then be returned to a cash depot or distribution centre for repair, replenishment and recirculation.
  • ATMs are typically provided with security systems that are designed to deter thieves from attempting to gain access to the cash cassettes stored within them. Such systems typically include detectors to detect unauthorised attempts to access the cash and alarms to notify authorities of the attempted theft. Some security systems also include spoiling systems that are operative to spoil the cash stored in the ATM on detection of an attempted theft by dispensing an indelible ink, dye or other spoiling agent onto the cash, to render it unusable and valueless.
  • an automated teller machine comprising: receiving means for receiving a cash cassette; control means for receiving commands issued by a remote system; and optical communication means for communicating with a cash cassette received in the receiving means, wherein the optical communication means is operative to issue commands to the cash cassette in accordance with the commands received by the control means from the remote system; and wherein the optical communication means is moveable between an active position, in which the optical communication means is able to communicate with complementary optical communication means of a cash cassette, and an inactive position, in which the optical communication means of the ATM does not impede removal of a cash cassette from the receiving means.
  • ATM automated teller machine
  • the ATM of the first aspect of the invention is able to receive commands from a remote system, for example to adjust an operating mode or security setting of a cash cassette received in the ATM. This removes the need for personnel requiring access to the cash cassette to carry keys, passcodes or the like, thereby reducing the inconvenience associated with accessing the cash cassettes and improving security for such personnel.
  • the optical communication means of the ATM may be provided on an inner surface of a door of the ATM, such that when the door is closed the infra-red transmission and receiving means are positioned so as to be aligned with the complementary optical communication means of the cash cassette.
  • the optical communication means may comprise infra-red transmission and receiving means which are configured to communicate with complementary infra-red receiving and transmission means provided on a cash cassette which can be received in the ATM.
  • the ATM may further comprise an interface for controlling the infra-red transmission and receiving means of the ATM, wherein the interface is provided in close proximity to the infra-red transmission and receiving means of the ATM.
  • the interface may be provided on the inner surface of the door of the ATM.
  • the ATM may further comprise a radio receiver which is operative to receive radio signals transmitted by a radio transmitter of a cash cassette received in the receiving means of the ATM.
  • the ATM may further comprise a sensor for detecting unauthorised interference with the ATM.
  • a system for monitoring and controlling cash cassettes used in an ATM comprising an operator terminal for receiving commands from an operator of the system and transmission means for transmitting the commands received to an ATM
  • the ATM comprising: receiving means for receiving a cash cassette; control means for receiving the commands issued by the operator; and optical communication means for communicating with a cash cassette received in the receiving means, wherein the optical communication means is operative to issue commands to the cash cassette in accordance with the commands received by the control means; and wherein the optical communication means is moveable between an active position, in which the optical communication means is able to communicate with complementary optical communication means of a cash cassette, and an inactive position, in which the optical communication means of the ATM does not impede removal of a cash cassette from the receiving means.
  • the ATM of the system may further comprises any or all of the features recited above in relation to the ATM of the first aspect of the invention.
  • a cassette for receiving and storing bank notes comprising: an enclosure for receiving the bank notes to be stored; a spoiling system which can be activated on command to dispense a spoiling agent into the enclosure; and a radio transmitter which is operative to transmit a radio signal on activation of the spoiling system.
  • the cassette may comprise optical communication means for communicating with an ATM in which the cassette can be received.
  • the optical communication means may comprise infra-red transmission and receiving means which are configured to communicate with complementary infra-red receiving and transmission means provided in an ATM in which the cash cassette can be received.
  • the radio signal may contain a code identifying the cassette.
  • FIG. 1 part of an ATM is shown (in schematic form) generally at 10, and includes a secure safe 12 which has a door 14 that is attached by means of a hinge 16 to a body of the safe 12, to permit access to an interior of the secure safe 12.
  • a secure safe 12 which has a door 14 that is attached by means of a hinge 16 to a body of the safe 12, to permit access to an interior of the secure safe 12.
  • the safe 12 is used to store cash cassettes that hold cash, in the form of bank notes, which can be dispensed by the ATM.
  • the safe 12 includes a plurality of slots 18 or other means for receiving such cash cassettes and holding them in position.
  • the ATM includes a processing unit 20 which controls the operation of the ATM.
  • the processing unit 20 is a personal computer (PC) running appropriate software, but alternative processing units may be used.
  • the processing unit 20 communicates via a bidirectional link or bus, which may be an RS232 serial link or a USB (Universal Serial Bus) bus for example, with a hub 22.
  • the hub 22 receives a mains power supply from an external source and in turn provides mains power to the processing unit 20.
  • the hub 22 receives an input from one or more external sensors 24, which are configured to detect attacks on or unauthorised interference with the ATM.
  • the sensor(s) may include, for example, an electrical sensor for detecting attempts to breach the walls or door 14 of the safe 12 by cutting and/or an accelerometer or other motion sensor for detecting unauthorised movement of the safe 12 or of the ATM.
  • an electrical sensor for detecting attempts to breach the walls or door 14 of the safe 12 by cutting and/or an accelerometer or other motion sensor for detecting unauthorised movement of the safe 12 or of the ATM.
  • the sensor 24 On detection by the sensor(s) 24 of an attack on or unauthorised interference with the ATM the sensor 24 transmits an electrical signal to the hub 22, which causes spoiling systems in cash cassettes received in the safe 12 to be activated, as is described below with reference to Figure 5 .
  • the hub 22 also has an antenna 26 for receiving radio frequency (RF) signals from cash cassettes installed in the slots 18, as is described below with reference to Figure 5 .
  • RF radio frequency
  • the hub 22 communicates, via a bidirectional link or bus, with an interface module 28, which communicates with a plurality of transmit-receive modules 30 which are mounted, in the example illustrated in Figure 1 , on an inner surface of the door 14 of the safe 12, such that when the door 14 of the safe is closed they are in an active position, as is described below, but when the door 14 of the safe 12 is open they do not impede the removal and replacement of a cash cassette from the safe 12.
  • the transmit-receive modules 30 may alternatively be mounted on a plate or the like which is attached to the ATM such that the transmit-receive modules 30 can be moved between an active position, in which they are able to communicate with complementary transmit receive modules of cash cassettes received in the safe, and an inactive position in which they do not impede removal and replacement of a cash cassette in the safe 12.
  • the bidirectional link or bus uses the RS485 serial protocol, as this protocol offers good immunity to noise.
  • any suitable protocol could be used, and indeed the link between the hub 22 and the interface module 28 need not be a serial link, but may be, for example, a parallel or LAN connection.
  • the interface module 28 may be omitted, such that the plurality of transmit-receive modules 30 communicate directly with the hub 22.
  • the transmit-receive modules 30 each include an optical transmitter 32, an optical receiver 34 and an optical beacon transmitter 36.
  • the optical transmitters 32, 36 in this example are infra-red transmitters and the receiver 34 is an infra-red receiver, but it will be appreciated that optical transmitters and receivers operating in wavelengths other than infra-red may be used.
  • the optical transmitters and receivers may operate in the ultra-violet range, or in the visible part of the spectrum, in which case lasers and appropriate optical detectors may be employed.
  • the transmitters 32, 36 and receiver 34 are shown as discrete components in Figure 2 , integrated optical transceivers may be used in place of the individual transmitters 32, 36 and receiver 34 shown in Figure 2 .
  • the transmit-receive modules 30 are mounted on the inner surface of the door 14 of the safe 12 in such a manner that, when the door 14 is closed, each of the transmit-receive modules 30 is positioned in an active position so as to align with a complementary transmit-receive module of a cash cassette which may be received in a slot 18 of the safe 12 so as to create a direct optical path between the transmit-receive module 30 of the safe 12 and the complementary transmit-receive module of the cash cassette.
  • the transmit-receive modules 30 do not impede the removal and replacement of a cash cassette from the safe 12.
  • the interface module 28 controls the operation of the transmit-receive modules 30 in accordance with instructions received from the hub 22, which in turn receives commands from an external control centre via a WAN (Wide Area Network) connection, as is described in more detail below with reference to Figure 5 of the drawings.
  • WAN Wide Area Network
  • the interface module 28 is mounted in close proximity to the transmit-receive modules 30 to reduce noise in the signals transmitted by the interface module 28 to the transmit-receive modules 30. This in turn reduces the risk of noise in signals transmitted by the transmit-receive modules 30, which could cause transmission and reception errors in signals transmitted by the transmit-receive modules 30 to the complementary transmit-receive modules of cash cassettes received in the slots 18 of the safe 12.
  • the interface module 28 is mounted on the inner surface of the door 14 of the safe 12 so as to be physically as close as possible to the transmit-receive modules 30 to minimise noise in signals transmitted by the interface module 28 to the transmit-receive modules 30.

  • a spoiling agent such as an indelible ink or dye, an adhesive, resin or solvent, or any other spoiling agent
  • the spoiling agent once dispensed, comes into contact with the bank notes stored in the interior of the cassette 50 and renders them worthless and unusable, for example by indelibly marking or staining them, adhering them to one another, or dissolving features of the bank notes such as ink or metallic security markings.
  • the spoiling system 60 includes an activation mechanism for activating the spoiling system 60.
  • This may be, for example, a system including a cartridge 62 of compressed gas which can be breached by an actuator 64 such as an explosive protractor so as to pressurise a fluid spoiling agent stored in a reservoir 66 to cause it to be dispensed through dispensing means 68 such as needles or spray bars into the interior of the cassette 50.

  • the controller 80 can also adjust the operating mode of the cash cassette 50.
  • the cash cassette 50 may have a "disarmed” operating mode in which the activation mechanism of the spoiling system 60 is disabled so that the spoiling system 60 cannot be activated.
  • the cash cassette 50 may have further operating modes, for example "normal” in which the activation mechanism is enabled but is not primed, and "threat", in which the activation mechanism is primed so that the spoiling system 60 can be activated quickly.

  • the cash cassette 50 includes a radio frequency (RF) transmitter 84 having an antenna 86.
  • the RF transmitter 84 is connected to the controller 80 and is operative to transmit a signal containing a code, which may be unique to the cash cassette 50 and thus may be used to identify the cash cassette 50, for a predetermined period of time upon activation of the spoiling system 60.
  • the transmitted RF signal is received by the antenna 26 of the ATM and transmitted to the hub 22 where it is decoded.
  • the hub 22 then transmits a signal to the operator terminal 92 via the controller 20, WAN and server 92 indicating that the spoiling system 60 of the cash cassette 50 has been activated, and providing the code to identify the cash cassette 50 if appropriate.
  • the operator can then take appropriate action, for example by remotely deactivating the ATM while the reason for the activation of the spoiling system is investigated and the cash cassette 50 concerned is replaced.
  • a signal may be transmitted by the controller 80 to the optical transmitter 74 of the transmit-receive module 70 of the cash cassette 50, to cause the optical transmitter to transmit a signal containing the code identifying the cash cassette 50 to the optical receiver 72 of the transmit-receive module 70 of the selected cash cassette 50.
  • the code is in turn received by the hub 22 which decodes it and transmits a signal to the operator terminal 92 as described above, indicating that the spoiling system 60 of the cash cassette 50 has been activated, and providing the code to identify the cash cassette 50 if appropriate.
  • the operator can then take appropriate action, for example by remotely deactivating the ATM while the reason for the activation of the spoiling system is investigated and the cash cassette 50 concerned is replaced.
  • the hub 22 may transmit a signal to the controller 20, which in turn deactivates the ATM unilaterally (i.e. without receiving a command from the operator of the remote system 90) pending investigation of the incident and replacement of the cash cassette 50 involved.
  • the ATM, cash cassette and system of the present invention allow the operation of cash cassettes used in ATMs to be controlled and monitored remotely. This improves security, as technicians servicing and replenishing the ATM and cash cassettes are unable themselves to deactivate security systems of the ATM and cash cassettes, whilst also permitting fast and accurate reporting of the status of the ATM and its cash cassettes, which improves the speed with which faults can be detected and corrected.
