Description

SYSTEM FOR ACCOMMODATING TO A VENDING DEVICE WITH THE HELP OF A DOCKING STATION

The invention relates to a system for taking notes of value from at least one security deposit unit and / or for supplying notes of value to the security deposit unit.

In particular, the security deposit unit is a cash box which is used in apparatus for handling bank notes, in particular in ATMs, automatic cash systems and / or automatic cash safes. In the cashbox the banknotes for the payment are stored and / or the deposited banknotes are added. If a regular replacement is planned or if the cashbox has reached a minimum level or a maximum level, the cashbox is removed from the device for handling securities by a value-transporting company and fed to a cash center in which the cashbox is emptied and / or newly filled with notes of value. The emptying and / or filling of the cashbox in the cash center is done manually via service employees of the transport company by a lid of the cashbox is opened and the bank notes taken and / or new banknotes are filled. The employees of the transport company are not supported by technical aids. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for taking notes of at least one Wertscheintransporteinheit and / or for supplying notes of value to the Wertscheintransporteinheit in which the removal of notes of value and / or the delivery of notes of value takes place in a simple and effective manner.

This object is achieved by a system having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

According to the invention, the system comprises a docking station which has a receiving area not secured by a vault for accommodating the security deposit unit and a control unit for controlling the docking station. The docking station comprises a first transmitting and / or receiving unit for transmitting and / or receiving data, wherein this transmitting and / or receiving unit is connected to the data transmission unit via a data transmission element for transmitting received and / or transmitted data. The security delivery unit has a storage element for storing data and a second sending and / or receiving unit for sending and / or receiving data. In a first operating state, the security deposit unit is accommodated in the receiving area of the docking station and a data transmission connection is formed between the two transmitting and / or receiving units, via which data can be transmitted between the security deposit unit and the control unit. In a second operating license stand, the security deposit unit is located outside the receiving area of the docking station and formed no data transmission connection between the two transmitting and receiving units.

By providing a docking station, a defined position of the value ticket transport unit is achieved, in which the value ticket transport unit can be easily and / or automatically removed and / or supplied with notes of value. The provision of the two transmitting and / or receiving units and the data transmission connection between them in the first operating state ensures that data can be transmitted in a simple manner between the security deposit unit and the docking station. In this way, in particular, the memory element of the value note transport unit can be read out in a simple manner and / or new data can be written to the storage element of the security transport unit.

In particular, the security deposit unit is a cash box in which the bank notes are stored in stacked form. In this way, an easy handling of the notes is achieved. In particular, the cash box is a so-called recycling money cassette, which can be supplied with notes of value as well as with notes of value. Alternatively, the security deposit unit may also include a reel storage. Furthermore, it is alternatively possible that the docking station is designed such that in their receiving area also Safebags can be recorded. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the receiving area of the docking station is designed such that all transport containers used for the transport of banknotes, in particular cash boxes, reel storage and safebags, can be accommodated in it.

In particular, the first transmitting and / or receiving unit comprises a first connector, and the second transmitting and / or receiving unit comprises a second connector designed to be complementary to the first connector. In the first operating state, a plug connection is made between the two connectors, via which the data can be transmitted. In particular, the first connector is that connector via which the security transport unit is also connected to an ATM or other device for handling bank notes when it is inserted in the safe of the ATM or another device. In this way it is achieved that no further transmitting and / or receiving unit must be provided for the production of the data transmission connection between the control unit and the Wertscheintransporteinheit, but already existing transmitting and / or receiving units can be used. As a result, a simple and inexpensive construction is achieved. In addition or as an alternative to the connectors, the data transmission connection between the value ticket transport unit and the control unit can also be designed to be wireless. In particular, the security delivery unit may comprise an RFID chip. The Wertscheintransporteinheit in particular has a first opening through which the Wertscheintransporteinheit notes are fed and withdrawn when the Wertscheintransporteinheit is used in an ATM, an automatic cash box and / or an automatic POS system and a second closable via a lid opening for manual removal and / or for manual delivery of banknotes. The second opening is arranged in particular on the upper side of the value note transport unit, so that the notes of value can be removed and returned manually in a simple manner. Alternatively, the notes of value on the second opening can not be removed manually and with the help of a robot and supplied.

The bill transport unit particularly includes a sensor for detecting opening of the lid. If an opening of the cover in the second operating state is detected by the sensor, manipulation data are stored in the memory element which contain information that the cover has been opened unauthorized. In particular, the manipulation data includes a time stamp indicating the time of unauthorized opening of the lid in the second operating state. In the first operating state, the control unit transmits release data via the data transmission connection, so that the cover for manually filling the security delivery unit and / or for manually removing the notes of value can be opened without manipulation data being stored in the storage element. In this way, it is achieved that, in the second operating state, that is to say when the value note transport unit is removed, an unauthorized opening of the cover, and thus possible manipulation attempts, are registered and can be tracked in a timely manner. By transferring the release data, it is achieved that the cover can be opened in the cash center during the scheduled filling and / or emptying of the security transport unit without falsely storing manipulation data in the memory element.

It is advantageous if the docking station comprises a footprint for setting up the docking station and if the receiving area has a bearing surface on which rests in the first operating state Wertscheintransporteinheit, and if the footprint and the support surface an angle between 10 ° and 60 °, in particular 20 ° to have each other. By the angle between the footprint and the support surface is achieved that the banknotes in a cashbox in which the banknotes are stacked, can not tip over when you open the lid, so that the notes of value can be removed and fed in a simple manner manually.

In addition or as an alternative, the system can comprise a separating and / or stacking module for automatically feeding in notes of value through the first opening and / or for removing the notes of value from the security deposit unit through the first opening. In this way it is achieved that the value-added transport unit additionally or natively for manual filling through the second opening and through the first opening can be automatically filled with notes or notes of value can be removed. By means of such automatic feeding and / or removal of notes of value, it is achieved that a service employee is not necessary for taking out and / or delivering the notes of value, thereby saving costs and reducing the susceptibility to errors.

The first opening can be closed in particular via a shutter which is closed in the second operating state, so that unauthorized access to the notes of value received in the security deposit unit is not possible, and is opened in the first operating state, so that notes of value can be transported through the first opening , The Wertscheintransporteinheit includes in particular a sensor for detecting an opening of the blind, wherein manipulation data are stored in an opening of the blind in the second operating state in the memory element and in the first operating state, the control unit transmits via the data transmission connection release data, so that the blind for filling the Wertscheintransporteinheit and / or can be opened to remove bills without tampering data stored in the storage element. By transferring the release data, it is achieved that no manipulation data is entered during the scheduled filling and emptying of the value slip cassette in the cash center, but manipulation data are stored in the memory element only in the case of unauthorized opening in the second operating state. The manipulation data stored in the memory element, which characterize an unauthorized opening of the first or the second opening in the second operating state, are transmitted in the first operating state to the control unit and output via a display unit to a service employee. In this way, it is achieved that the service employee is informed about manipulation attempts, and can check whether the actual value stock of Wertscheintransporteinheit deviated from the target stock and, if necessary, appropriate investigations can be initiated. After transferring the manipulation data from the storage element to the control unit, the manipulation data in the storage element are preferably released, so that the manipulation data are not retransmitted the next time the security deposit unit is inserted into a docking station and thus possibly the same manipulation attempt is repeatedly tracked.

In addition or as an alternative to the manipulation data, in the first operating state data about the state of the security transport unit can be obtained via the data transmission connection, in particular data with information on the stock of the security transport unit on notes of value, data with information on the serial numbers of the notes of value, data with information about the Storage order of the notes of value, data with information on multiple deductions, maintenance data of transport elements of the security transport unit and / or maintenance data of an ink kit of the security transport unit, from the value Apparent transport unit are transmitted to the control unit. By transferring the data with information on multiple deductions, it is achieved that, in the case of a multiple deduction, the stock of the security transport unit can be checked for notes of value, so as to ensure that the actual stock also coincides with the target stock and does not contribute to any errors the payment of banknotes can come. Transmission of maintenance data ensures that transport equipment, a battery, and / or an ink cartridge macular unit are serviced in a timely manner before malfunctions can occur.

In particular, the security deposit unit comprises stops for limiting the storage area of the security cassette for storing the notes of value, by means of which the storage area of the security cassette can be adapted to the size and thus the denomination of recorded bank notes. These stops are in particular adjustable in the first operating state, so that the recorded in the Wertscheintransporteinheit denomination can be changed. If the position of the stops is changed in the first operating state, data with information about the position of the stops and thus data with information about the denomination of the notes of value received in the security transport unit are stored by means of the control unit in the storage element of the security delivery unit. In this way it is achieved that in the event of later insertion of the security deposit unit into an ATM, an automatic checkout system, an automatic cash deposit and / or another docking system Station can be read out of the memory element, which denomination of notes of value is included in the Wertscheintransporteinheit.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if data with information about multiple prints are stored in the memory element. In particular, this information includes information on whether and, if so, when and how often multiple deductions have occurred. A multiple deduction is understood when inadvertently at the same time two or more notes of value of the Wertscheintransporteinheit, when it is used in an ATM, an automatic POS system and / or an automatic cash deposit, were removed. Since such a multiple deduction is uncertain as to how many notes were deducted, the stock of the security transport unit in the form of notes is also unknown. The data with information on multiple prints are transmitted in the first operating state of the memory element to the control unit, wherein the control unit generates in response to this data output data that can be displayed via a display unit, so that a service employee is informed of the occurrence of the multiple prints and he Determine the actual stock of the notes of value recorded in the security of value trans- port by counting the notes and comparing them with the target stock.

The control unit operates, in particular, program data of a program for supporting a person charged with filling or emptying the security transport container Service employee, wherein via a display unit during the execution of the program data the service employee instructions are displayed. In this way it is achieved that the service employee is guided step-by-step in filling and / or emptying the security transport unit, so that errors are avoided and the service employee knows at any time which step he must next carry out. The display unit is in particular a screen, preferably a touch screen.

In particular, the service employee can use the display unit to issue an instruction for opening the cover, information about a manipulation, information about a multiple deduction, an instruction for counting the stock of the notes of value received in the security deposit unit, a request to enter the ascertained stock of notes of value Instruction with which banknotes to fill the banknote transport container, and / or maintenance information is displayed. In particular, the service employee is guided step by step so that necessary steps are executed in the correct order depending on the information stored in the storage element.

In the first operating state, the security deposit unit can either be completely emptied and subsequently be refilled with banknotes or alternatively only partially or not emptied and filled up with new banknotes. By refilling the security transport unit without prior complete removal empty the value of the bill of quantities transport unit is achieved that the effort and the time to fill the Wertscheintransporteinheit is reduced, whereby the effectiveness of the method is increased.

In addition to the manipulation data and the data on multiple-deduction information, the storage element may contain information about the denomination of the recorded banknotes, information about the serial numbers of the banknotes, information about the storage order of the banknotes, information about the number of recorded banknotes Stored value notes, data with information about the serial number of the value transport box, the serial number of a destination device, the serial number of a source device and / or the serial number of the last docking station in which the security deposit unit was recorded. The destination device is in particular that ATM, that automatic cash system and / or the one automatic cash deposit in which the security deposit unit is to be recorded next. The source device is, in particular, that ATM, that automatic cash system and / or the automatic cash deposit in which the security deposit unit was last added. In this way it is achieved that all necessary for the handling of the Wertscheintransporteinheit data are stored in the memory element, and can be dispensed with a arranged on the Wertscheintransansporteinheit run list containing this data. By storing the data on a storage element, it is achieved, compared to the ticket, that the data is handled electronically and the data can not be lost so easily.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if, in addition to the data, electrical energy can also be transmitted via the plug-in connection in order to supply electrical consumers of the value-ticket transport unit. In this way it is achieved that can be dispensed with an additional connection for the transmission of electrical energy.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the system comprises a separating and / or stacking module for the automatic feeding of notes of value and / or for taking notes of value from the Wertscheintransporteinheit and a buffer from which the notes of value can be removed and the Wertscheintransporteinheit be supplied and / or the the notes of value taken from the Wertscheintransporteinheit be supplied. In this way it is achieved that the Wertscheintransporteinheit can be easily removed automatically without manual Dazutun notes of value and new notes of value can be supplied. The buffer ensures that the banknotes required for filling are available at all times and that bank notes taken from the storage unit for the banknote delivery unit are given.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the system comprises a counting device for determining the stock of the security deposit unit on bank notes. The value to be counted Apparently, especially with the aid of the separating and / or stacking module, the value note transport unit is automatically removed and fed to the counting device via a transport path, so that the inventory of notes of value can be automatically determined by the counting device. After the inventory has been determined, the number of notes of value is transmitted in particular to the control unit, wherein the control unit compares the determined stock with a stored in the storage element of Wertscheintransporteinheit target stock.

It is particularly advantageous if, as a function of manipulation data and / or data stored in the memory element, the control unit activates the separating and / or stacking module in such a way that the separating and / or stacking module removes all the notes of value received in the security deposit unit and feeds the target device. Furthermore, it is advantageous if the destination device transmits data with information about the number of notes of value to the control unit. In this way, it is achieved that in the case of a multiple deduction automatically the actual stock of Wertscheintransporteinheit can be compared to notes with the target stock, and any deviations can be detected.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if an input and / or output unit is provided for supplying notes of value to the system and / or for removing notes of value from the system. This way, notes of value can not continue in particular, damaged and / or counterfeit banknotes as well as large denomination banknotes should be removed from the value-ticket cycle and new banknotes should be added to the value-added cycle.

The input and output unit is designed in particular such that both cash boxes and safebags can be received in a receiving area. In this way, it is achieved that with the help of the system, both pure deposit-value transport containers and recycled value-ticket transport containers can be handled and they can be filled and emptied in a value-ticket circulation. Under Deposit-Wertscheintransportbehälter value bank transport be understood that are filled in a device for issuing bank notes exclusively with banknotes and after filling with the banknotes only emptied but not refilled. On the other hand, recycled banknote transport containers are again filled with notes of value after emptying and / or can both receive and issue notes of value when they are received in a device for handling notes of value. In this way, it is achieved, in particular, that only one value-ticket cycle is necessary, and thus an effective cash-cycle management is achieved.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the system comprises a plurality of docking stations and a plurality of separating and / or stacking modules, each dunking station each having a separating and / or stacking module. Dul is assigned, which serves for supplying and for taking notes of value from a recorded in a docking Wertscheintransporteinheit. By means of the singling and stacking modules, value-note transport units accommodated in the docking stations can be fed and / or removed, in particular, at the same time. In this way it is achieved that per unit of time a larger number of value note transport units can be emptied and / or filled. The withdrawn notes of value or the notes of value required for the filling are taken in particular from a single central buffer store or supplied thereto, so that overall a very effective cash cycle management is realized.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, which illustrates the invention with reference to embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying figures.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a system 10 for taking notes of value from a security transport unit embodied as a cash box 12 and / or for supplying notes of value to the cash box 12. The banknotes are in the cashbox 12 in particular in stacked form in one or more Fä- Ehern filed. Alternatively, the cash box 12 may also include a reel storage for storing the notes of value. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a safebag can additionally or alternatively be provided, from which the notes of value are taken.

The system 10 comprises a docking station 14 which has a receiving area 16 in which the cash box 12 is received in the operating state shown in FIG. 1 and is thus docked to the docking station 14. The operating state shown in Figure 1 is therefore also referred to as a docked operating condition. In an undocked operating state, the cash box 12 is separated from the docking station 14 and thus not received in the receiving area 16.

The cash box 12 comprises a storage element 18, in which for the handling of the cash box 12 relevant logistical information is stored. In the memory element 18 are in particular data with information about the denomination of the notes in the cashbox 12, the number of notes of value, information about possible manipulation attempts, information on possible multiple deductions, maintenance data for the cashbox 12, a cash box ID, the target device for the the cash box 12 is determined, a serial number of the last docking station 16 in which the cash box 12 was received, and / or a serial number of the last device in which the cash box 12 was recorded stored. The memory element 18 is connected to a first via a data connection 20 Plug connector 22 is connected, which in the docked operating state shown in Figure 1 with a complementarily formed to him second connector 24 of the Dockingsta- tion 14 is engaged, so that between the connectors 22, 24 a connector is formed, can be transmitted via the data , In an alternative embodiment of the invention, other transmitting and / or receiving units may be provided instead of connectors 22, 24. In particular, both the cashbox 12 and the docking station 14 may have a transmitting and / or receiving unit for the wireless transmission and / or reception of data. The cash box 12 may in particular comprise an RFID chip.

By receiving the cashbox 12 in the receiving area 16 of the docking station 14 is achieved on the one hand that a defined position of the cashbox 12 is ensured, and on the other hand, that over the connectors 22, 24 formed connector data can be transmitted. In the undocked state, there is no plug connection between the connectors 22, 24, so that no data can be transmitted.

The system 10 further comprises a data processing unit 26, which in turn comprises a control unit 28 which is connected via a data transmission element 30 to the second connector 24, so that transferred via the connector 22, 24 connector data between the memory element 18 of the control unit 28 can be. The control unit 28 is for control the docking station 14. The data processing unit 26 is in particular a computer.

The cash box 12 comprises a first opening (not shown) and a second opening (also not shown), the second opening being closable by a lid and used for manual removal and manual feeding of banknotes. The first opening is closed by a shutter and is used for removal and for supplying notes of value when the cash box 12 is inserted in an ATM, an automatic cash register system and / or an automatic cash deposit. In a non-docked state, both the lid and the blind are firmly locked, so that unauthorized access to recorded in the cashbox 12 banknotes is not possible or difficult. Both the cover and the blind are secured by a sensor which detects the lid and / or the blind in the undocked state and in such a case manipulation data with information about the manipulation, in particular also information about the time in the memory element 18 stores. The undocked state is in particular that state in which the cashbox 12 is transported between different ATMs, automatic cash systems, automatic cash safes and / or a cash center for filling and / or emptying the cashbox 12. The system 10 is arranged, in particular, in a cash center, wherein in the docked state of the cashbox 12 notes of value are taken and / or notes of value are supplied. The cashbox 12 is particularly complete emptied and refilled on schedule. Alternatively, only a part of the bank notes 12 arranged in the cash box 12 can be removed and the cash box 12 merely filled up. It is also possible that no notes of value of the cash box 12 are removed and only additional notes of value are supplied.

After the cash box 12 has been inserted into the receiving area 16 of the docking station and the plug connection between the first plug connector 22 and the second plug connector 24 has been established, release data is transmitted to the cash box 12 by the control unit 28 via the plug connection, so that the cover of the second opening can be opened without manipulation data stored in the memory element 18. In particular, with the aid of this release data, any ink kit that may be present in the cashbox 12 is deactivated, which would trigger the cashbox 12 if the cashbox 12 were opened unauthorizedly and would render the banknotes received in the cashbox 12 unusable by discoloration. In this way, the lid of the cashbox 12 can be opened without an unauthorized access is reported, so that notes of value can be removed from the cashbox 12 and new notes of the cashbox 12 can be supplied. The removal of the notes of value and the filling of the cash box 12 with new notes of value is carried out in particular by a service employee of a value-transporting company. Alternatively, the system 10 may also include a robot that extracts and / or feeds the notes of value through the second opening. After the cash box 12 has been inserted into the docking station 14, the data stored in the storage element 18 is read out and transmitted to the control unit 28. In this case, among other possible manipulation data, inter alia, multiple deduction data is transmitted, indicating whether in the operation of the cashbox 12 since the last time emptying and filling in a docking station 14, a multiple deduction has occurred. A multiple deduction is understood here when several notes of value were simultaneously withdrawn from the cash box 12 during operation in an ATM. Such a multiple deduction causes the stock of notes stored in the storage element 18 to become incorrect if it can not be determined how many notes were actually withdrawn. Should the read-out of the memory element 18 show that a multiple trigger and / or a manipulation attempt has taken place, the control unit 28 transmits this information to a display unit 32 which displays the corresponding information to the service employee of the value-transporting company so that he can act accordingly. The display unit 32 is in particular a screen via which the employee is shown the corresponding information. Furthermore, the data processing unit 26 comprises an input unit 34, via which the service employee can enter information into the data processing unit 26. The display unit 32 and the input unit 34 are in particular integrally formed, preferably in the form of touchscreens. Furthermore, the inventory of the cashbox 12 is read out of the storage element 18 of notes of value. In addition, maintenance data can be read out and displayed to the service employee via the display unit 32 so that the latter, if necessary, can initiate the steps necessary for the maintenance.

If a manipulation attempt and / or a multiple deduction has taken place, the service employee removes all banknotes in the cash box 12 and feeds them to a counting device 36, which determines the stock of the bank notes. The counting device 36 is in particular connected via a data transmission element 31 to the control unit 28, and transmits the determined actual stock of notes of value to the control unit 28, which compares the actual stock with the target stock stored in the storage element 18. Alternatively, the counting device 36 can also comprise a display unit, and display the actual stock of notes of value to the service employee, who in turn enters the actual stock via the input unit 34 into the data processing unit 26, so that in the control unit 28 the actual value with the debit Stock can be compared. If there is a discrepancy between the actual stock and the target stock, the service employee triggers a search request to determine how this variance occurred. Additionally or alternatively, this search request can also be triggered automatically by the control unit 28. Furthermore, the control unit 28 is connected to a central server 38, a so-called cash management server. The cash management server 38 is used to manage the securities in a cash cycle management, of which the system 10 is part. In particular, the cash holdings of cash dispensers and cash boxes are managed via the cash management server and the filling and emptying intervals are optimized from various points of view. From the cash management server 38 data is transmitted to the control unit 28, which contains information about how many notes in which denomination the cash box 12 is to be filled. The control unit 28 outputs corresponding information via the display unit 32 to the service employee, so that the latter knows which notes of value he has to supply to the cash box 12. In particular, an order-related filling of the cash box 12 is made possible via the cash management server, that is to say that the cash box 12 may also be partially filled.

Depending on which notes of value of which denomination were previously recorded in the cash box 12, it may be necessary that stops in the storage area of the cash box 12 are adjusted and must be adapted to the denomination of the newly recorded notes of value. After changing the position of the stops, the service employee enters this information via the input unit 34 and the control unit 28 stores the data with the recorded denomination of the notes of value and the number of supplied notes in the storage element 18 of the cash box 12. After the cash box 12 the service employee closes the lid and confirms the filling of the cashbox 12 via a corresponding input via the input unit 34. Subsequently, the cashbox 12 of the docking station 14 can be removed and an automatic teller machine, an automatic checkout system and / or an automatic cash drawer be supplied.

The control unit 28 works in the previously described removal and / or filling of the cashbox 12 with notes of value, in particular program data of a program for supporting the service employee during filling and emptying of the cashbox 12 from. The individual steps that are executed here will be described in more detail in the following in connection with FIGS. 3 to 9.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a system 40 for feeding notes of value to a cash box 12 or for removing notes of value from the cash box 12 according to a second embodiment of the invention. Elements with the same structure or the same function have the same reference numerals. In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, no separately arranged data processing unit 26, in particular no computer, is provided in the system 40, but the control unit 28, the display unit 32 and the input unit 34 are components of the docking station 14. In this way, a simple and compact construction of the system 40 achieved. FIG. 3 shows a flow diagram of a method for taking notes of value from a cash box 12 and for filling the cash box 12 with other bank notes. The process is started in step S10. In step S12, the cash box 12 is inserted into the receiving area 16 of the docking station 14, and then in step S14, the connector between the first connector 22 and the second connector 24 is made. The receiving area 16 of the docking station 14 is designed in particular such that the plug connection between the connectors 22, 24 is automatically produced automatically when inserting the cash box 12 into the receiving area 16.

After the plug connection has been established, the data stored in the memory element 18 are read out in step S16 and transmitted to the control unit 28 via the plug connection. In step S18, it is then determined by the control unit 28 on the basis of the data read out, whether a manipulation and / or multiple deduction has taken place since the last filling and / or emptying of the cash box 12 at the docking station 14. If a manipulation attempt and / or a multiple deduction have taken place, the notes of value are then removed from the cash box 12 in step S20 and subsequently supplied to a counting device 36 in step S22, in which the actual stock of the notes of value is determined. Subsequently, the determined actual inventory is transmitted to the control unit 28, and stored in the memory element 18 and in the step S16 read target stock. If this comparison in step S24 reveals that there is a deviation between the actual stock and the target stock, a search request is triggered in step S26 in which it is to be determined what has happened for a manipulation and / or why a multiple deduction occurs is. Subsequently, in step S28, the stock of the cashbox 12 stored in the storage element 18 is set to zero on notes of value.

If, in step S24, the comparison of the actual stock and the target stock shows that there is no deviation, then branching is made directly to step S28 and the stock in the storage element 18 is set to zero.

If the evaluation of the data read out in step S16 in step S18 reveals that no manipulation and no multiple printing has taken place, it is checked in step S29 whether recounting is nevertheless desired or not. For this purpose, in particular, a corresponding query is displayed via the display unit 32, wherein the service employee must enter via the input unit 34, whether a recounting should be done or not. Should a re-counting be desired, the process goes to step S20. If a re-counting is not desired, the notes of value are removed in step S30 before proceeding to step S28 and without prior counting of the stock, the stock of notes stored in the storage element 18 is set to zero. Now that the cashbox 12 is completely emptied and the stock stored in the storage element 18 is set to zero, it is determined in step S32, whether a filling of the cash box 12 is desired. For this purpose, the control unit 28 in particular evaluates data transmitted by the cash management server 38 with information about the desired filling of the cashbox 12. If a refilling of the cash box 12 is provided, the number and the denomination of the notes of value to be supplied to the cash box 12 are displayed in step S34. After the service agent has supplied the desired number of notes to the cash box 12 in step S36 and has closed the lid of the second opening, the service agent enters a confirmation via the input unit 34 in step S38, whereupon the control unit 28 enters the new stock of cash in step S40 in the memory element 18 stores. Subsequently, the cash box is removed from the docking station 14 in step S42 and thereby the plug connection between the connectors 22, 24 separated.

If, on the other hand, it should be determined in step S32 that no refilling is desired, the process goes directly to step S42 and the cash box 12 is removed from the docking station 14.

After the cash box 12 is removed in step S42, the process is ended with step S44. Monetary- cassette 12 can now be the designated ATM, the provided automatic cash deposit and / or provided automatic cash register system.

In an alternative method for filling and emptying a cashbox 12, the banknotes of the cashbox 12 can also be supplied without having previously taken out all notes of value. Only in the presence of a multiple deduction and / or a manipulation attempt, it is imperative to remove all banknotes of the cashbox, so as to determine the current stock.

Figures 4 to 9 show illustrations of instructions displayed to the service person via the display unit 32, which assist the service employee in draining and filling the cash box 12 and guiding it step by step, so that the error probability is reduced. Via the display shown in FIG. 4, the service employee is requested to insert a cash box 12 into the receiving area 16 of the docking station 14.

Furthermore, the service technician is prompted by pressing a button on a touch screen. showed OK button 42 to confirm the progress of the procedure. Alternatively, the button can also be activated via a pointing device, such as a computer mouse, or an external keyboard.

The service employee is informed via the display shown in FIG. 6 that the stock of the cashbox 12 is not secured on banknotes. This may be the case if the readout of the memory element 18 has revealed that a manipulation attempt and / or a multiple trigger has taken place. Therefore, the service employee is prompted to open the lid of the cash box 12, to count the notes of value, to determine the actual stock, and to compare the determined actual stock with the target stock.

Via the display shown in FIG. 7, the service employee can enter via field 46 how many banknotes in which denomination he has supplied to the cashbox 12, so that after confirming the entries via the OK button 44, the control unit 28 receives data with corresponding information in FIG can store the memory element 18.

Via the display shown in FIG. 8, the service employee is requested to remove the cash box 12 from the dunking station 14. Via the display shown in FIG. 9, the service employee is informed that the cashbox 12 is not functioning. is proficient and the service employee is requested to remove the cash box 12 and to inform a competent technician.

Through the first rack 142 notes of value can be fed to the system 140. For this purpose, 144 bill transport containers are taken in the docking stations, which notes of value are taken, which are then fed to a value note buffer 76. The banknote transport containers can be cash cassettes, reel storages or safe bags. The bill transport containers can come from both the deposit and the recycling cycle. Under the Depositkreislauf is understood here, if only notes of value are paid into the bill of lading transport, but none are removed, and thus serve the Wertscheintransportbehälter only for the disposal of banknotes. In a recycling cycle, on the other hand, notes of value are paid into and paid out of the security deposit containers, with the paid-in notes being available for a new payment.

The notes of value removed from the first rack 142, after they have been checked by a sensor 146, in particular for fitness and / or authenticity, are added to the value note intermediate. Memory 76 supplied. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 19, the value note buffer 76 comprises 16 storage bins, one of which is denoted by the reference numeral 148 by way of example.

Further, the system 140 includes an input tray 150 via which notes of value may be supplied to the system 140 individually or in a batch, the notes deposited via the input tray 150, after being checked by a sensor 146, also being added to the value note buffer 76.

Furthermore, the system 140 includes a second rack 150 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 19, comprises 16 docking stations, one of which is denoted by the reference numeral 152 by way of example. The docking stations 152 of the second rack 150 serve for filling the depository transport containers received in them. For this purpose, the docking station 152 of the second rack 150 is connected to the buffer memory 76 via transport paths.

Overall, a combined deposit and recycling processing is thus made possible via the system 140 described in FIG. Through this dual automation concept of pure desposit processing and filling of recycling value - dummy transport containers, it is achieved that only one value ticket cycle, a so-called cash cycle, is necessary and can be effectively designed. In the first rack 142 are used for emptying in particular pure Deposit Wertscheintransportbehälter and / or recycling transport containers in which the notes of several denominations were mixed stored used. Cash cassettes, in which the banknotes sorted, ie only notes of denomination, were stored, are preferably not supplied to the system 140, but fed directly to other ATMs, automatic POS systems and / or automatic cash deposits.

The second rack 150 can both empty cash boxes as well as partially filled cash boxes that need only be filled, fed. The cash boxes are filled in particular with about 1400 notes of value. The notes of value required for filling the cash cassettes received in the second rack 150 are taken from the value note buffer 76. The value notes required for this purpose are supplied to the value note buffer 76, in particular via deposit value transport containers, via the first rack 142, preferably via safebags.

For the intermediate storage of the notes of value in the value note buffer 76 cash boxes are used in particular. In this way, no other components must be used, so that the effort and costs are reduced. For this purpose, the cash boxes are cascaded in particular into cassette towers in order to ensure a continuous payment process. Reference character system
