Description

Method for identifying a transport container

The invention relates to a method for identifying a transport container of valuables, a method for transmitting information to a transport container to a receiving station, a data carrier and a system for providing a marking for transport containers according to the preamble of the independent claims.

For the transport of valuables, the valuables are placed in specially provided transport containers. The transport container may have a pocket shape, for example, a Safebag (English safe pocket), or as a container, for example as a cash box (English for money box), are provided. The transport containers have a serial number assigned by their production. Furthermore, the transport containers have an information field for manual labeling. In the information field z. For example, the name of the depositor, the name of a store and / or the value of the object of value can be entered. Together with the serial number, this information forms deposit data. In order for the recipient to be able to process the valuables handed over with the transport container, the filler, for example a deposit box of the transport container, must fill out the information field. The filler must selectively label the fields to be filled. It is important to pay attention to the information to be entered, in particular the choice of terms and spelling as well as a legible handwriting. Furthermore, there is a risk that the label color used is not sufficiently adhered to the information field of the transport container and, for example, during transport by mechanical, chemical or thermal stress, for. B. by abrasion and / or moisture, partially (away) is solved. After or during delivery of the transport container to a recipient, the information field is read. Due to the usually manual evaluation of the handwritten inscription, a recognition of the information and its further processing are subject to errors. Furthermore, the work process is time consuming.

Based on this, it is an object of the invention to optimize the time spent in the identification of transport containers and to facilitate a transfer of information from the filler to the receiver, wherein the error rate is minimized.

This object is solved by the independent claims. In particular, the object is achieved by a method for identifying transport containers according to claim 1. A method for securely transmitting information to a receiving station, a data carrier and / or a system for providing a marking of transport containers are specified in the independent claims. Particular embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to the invention, the above object is achieved by a method for characterizing transport containers of valuables by a processing apparatus. In one step, identity information of the transport container is detected by the processing device. In a further step, additional information is acquired by the processing device. Subsequently, a machine-readable code is generated from the identity information and the additional information. The machine-readable code is transmitted downstream of an identification carrier. The identification carrier can be arranged on the transport container or is arranged and / or formed on the transport container. A transport container can be any container that is suitable for transporting valuables. For the transport of value documents, such. As banknotes or coins are often used so-called Safebags. Safebags are pocket-shaped and have a substantially flexible body similar to a carrying bag. Furthermore, a cash box is suitable for the transport of value documents. A cash box usually has a rigid basic body, in the interior of which valuables can be arranged. The main body of the cash box and the Safebags is usually made of a plastic, preferably polyethylene.

FIG. 1 shows purely schematically an embodiment of a method according to the invention. By way of example, a transport container is shown as a safebag 100. The safebag 100 has a receiving space 140. The receiving space 140 serves to receive valuables, for example money 200. Furthermore, the safebag 100 has identification information 110. The identification information 110 preferably uniquely identifies the security bag 100. The identification information 110 is presently applied as a barcode 110, but can be implemented in another form. leads, with a machine-readable representation of the identification information 110 is preferred.

The safebag 100 further comprises an information field 120. The information field 120 has a labeling field for optional labeling, for example a name of a filler (depositor), a owner of the monetary value, a name of a recipient and / or a bank, an account number, one Name of a forwarder and / or a date. The information field 120 preferably comprises a primer for labeling and / or printing with ink. The Safebag 100 is preferably made of plastic. The material of the Safebags 100 is designed to be durable in terms of mechanical, thermal and / or chemical stress.

To mark the safebags 100, an application with instructions of data and algorithms runs in a running time environment of the smartphone 300. With the aid of the optical reading device, the smartphone 300 reads the barcode 110 of the safebag 100. The smartphone 300 evaluates that of the The reader 300 identifies the barcode 110, ie, the smartphone 300 decodes the barcode 110. The smartphone 300 recognizes the identity information 110 from the barcode 110. The application displays a form for interacting with the user (in the present case filler) on the display 310 of the smartphone Safebag). The form may provide the determined identity information 110 in a format readable by the user. Furthermore, the form can provide one or more fields for the input of additional information by the user. The additional information can z. As an identification of a company, in particular the owner of the amount of money, the identification of a branch, a date, a currency and / or an identification of a clerk, a filler and / or the user his. Furthermore, the indication of the amount of money, the specification of denominations and / or location data would be conceivable. The additional information can be entered manually by the user. Furthermore, an automatic detection of the additional information would be conceivable, for example the identification of the user, the location data and / or the date, which are provided by the system of the smartphone 300. Furthermore, the additional information can be recorded with the aid of the camera and / or a microphone, and / or transmitted to the smartphone by means of NFC or RFID, and thus provided to the application or the form.

The additional information may include information from the information field 120, such as the amount of money. Instead of entries of the information field 120, the information of the information field 120 may be contained on an inserter or accompanying document in the safebag 100. In one embodiment, the additional information may be detected by, for example, the optical reading device of the smartphone 300 and according to the content and / or visual classification in the form of the application on the smartphone. The evaluation of the data of the optical reading device is preferably taken over by the smartphone 300.

As part of the application, the identification information from the barcode 110 and preferably the additional information is checked for plausibility and / or authenticity. Furthermore, the smartphone 300 creates a record from the identity information and / or the additional information. The data record is coded as machine-readable code and output via an output unit, in the present case a printer 500, to preferably a label 600. The coding is preferably carried out according to a coding specification, e.g. GS1 specification and / or ISO or ANSI specification. The machine-readable code on the label 600 is embodied in the example of FIGS. 1 a to 1 c as a data matrix code 610. Of course, alternatively or additionally, a numerical code, a barcode or any other machine-readable code would be conceivable.

Preferably, the label 600 is self-adhesive. The label 600 may preferably be arranged on a specific area of the safebag 100, an adhesive field 130. The adhesive field 130 may have a treated surface, for example a surface coating, in order to favor a preferably permanent adhesion of the label 600 to the safebag 100. In principle, the label 600 may also be designed for other attachment to the safebag 100 or the safebag 100 for other attachment of the label 600 and corresponding means, for. As a clip include. In addition, the label 600 could be configured for placement within the safebag 100. In one embodiment, the smartphone 300 may be connected to a background system, such as a cloud system 400. The connection can be established, for example, via a telecommunications system, for example mobile telephone network and / or landline network, via a network, for example a local cable-bound or wireless network, and / or via near-field communication, for example NFC, Bluetooth and / or infrared. The examination of the identification information and / or the additional information may be supported by the background system, for example by specific evaluation or carried out entirely by it. The background system may include or be connected to a database having a multiplicity of identification information and / or additional information in order in particular to ascertain a plausibility.

In one embodiment, the background system 400 preferably transmits the result of the check and / or further information relating to the safebag to the smartphone 300. The smartphone 300 optionally gives the user an indication as to whether the identity information and / or the additional information are incorrect. For example, the user may be informed that the safe bag is allowed for the current action, for example, the transmission of cash receipts of a supermarket A to a bank B, or not. Furthermore, the background system 400 may transmit a check signature, which may be included in the machine-readable code on the label 600. Furthermore, the background system 400 may determine the type of encoding.

In a preferred embodiment, the smartphone 300 creates the machine-readable code which is readable on the label 600. The smartphone 300 may add a signature for encoding. Further- towards the smartphone 300 can perform encryption, for example, based on the application and / or the signature.

To output the machine-readable code to the label 600 via the printer 500, the smartphone 300 can output a corresponding print job. For this purpose, the smartphone 300 is preferably connected to the printer 500 via an above-mentioned connection to the printer 500. The smartphone 300 may use the same background system and printer 500 as the same data communication system. Furthermore, the smartphone 300 with the optional background system and the printer 500 may use different data communication systems.

In one embodiment, the optional back-end system is connected to the printer 500. Even if in the present case the generation of the machine-readable code by the smartphone 300 has essentially been described, the background system could be designed to generate the machine-readable code, preferably analogously to the above description. The machine-readable code may be sent by the background system directly to the printer 500 for printing on the label 600 and / or sent to the printer 500 via the smartphone 300. In other words, the background system causes the generation of the machine-readable code and / or the creation of the label comprising the machine-readable code.

In the figure lb another use and thus a continuation of the identification of the Safebags 100 of Figure la is shown schematically and by way of example. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1b, the safebag 100 with the label 600 is transferred to a delivery truck 700 for transport from the supermarket A to the bank B. The delivery truck 700 assumes the role of a receiver, in particular an intermediate receiver. The Safebag 100 is recorded. In particular, the machine-readable code (in the present case Data Matrix code 610) is read in on the label 600. The read-in data is sent via a communication link to a background system, in the present exemplary embodiment to the cloud server 400, wherein it is simultaneously detected that the safebag 100 is located in the delivery van 700. With the help of eg position data acquisition, the current position and the whereabouts of the safebags 100 can be determined at any time by and via the background system.

In the figure lc another use and a continuation of the Kenn- drawing of Safebags 100 from the figures la and / or figures lb is shown schematically and exemplified.

In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1c, the safebag 100 is delivered by the delivery truck 700 to the bank B, which assumes the role of a recipient or end recipient. For the transfer or transfer of the safebags 100 to the bank B, the transfer of the safebags 100 to the bank B by the delivery truck 700 is communicated to the background system 400. The Safebag 100 will be booked out accordingly. Furthermore, the safebag 100 is detected at an input station of the bank B. In this case, the machine-readable code 610 of the label 600 is scanned. Bank B may provide a matrix camera or other optical camera as well as the function of image processing. In addition, a manual detection of the machine-readable data matrix code 610 by a Operator, z. B. a user, for example, be carried out by means of mobile information detection device. The mobile information acquisition device is preferably a smartphone or a tablet. In a preferred embodiment, the identification information 110 is also detected, in particular for checking purposes. For example, the entry station of Bank B is a deposit device.

From or through the data matrix code 610 of the label 600, the bank B receives both the additional information to the safebag 100 and, if appropriate, the identification information. A manual reading of comments entered in information field 120 on Safebag 100 is not necessary. There are no errors due to poor readability of the additional information written on the Safebag 100. Bank B, which assumes the role of recipient, may be connected to a background system 400, such as a cloud 400. Background system 400 may be the same as or similar to the background systems of FIG. 1a or of FIG. 1b, but may be separate therefrom. In this case, the data matrix code 610 or the information encoded by the data matrix code 610 can be sent to the background system 400. The background system 400 may, preferably with an identification of the bank B or the input station of the bank B, decode and evaluate the data matrix code 610 610 or the information coded therewith. That is, in this case, the background system of the data matrix code 610 or the machine-readable code of the tag 600 would decode the additional information needed for the bank B. Furthermore, the background system could perform a check of the safebags 100 for authenticity. In addition, the input station of the bank B could read out the identity information 110 of the safebags 100. As an alternative to evaluating the machine-readable code of the label 600 by the background system, the bank B, in particular the input system, can itself evaluate the machine-readable code or use the background system for partial evaluations, for example only for the authenticity check of the safebags 100.

Even if the machine-readable code is optically described by an information acquisition device in the example of a smartphone and / or a camera by the figures la to lc, the machine-readable code as an electrical and / or magnetic date on the label 600 and / or the Safebag 100 generated and read by a correspondingly suitable reading device as an information detection device, such as an RFID reader.

FIG. 2 shows, purely schematically, an exemplary embodiment for identifying a transport container and for reading it out.

In a first step S1, a transport container, for example a sofa bag or a cash box, is provided. Preferably, already at this step, the transport container with a valuable item, such as money, filled. However, the filling of the transport container can also take place at a later time. In a second step S2, identity information of the transport container is detected by a processing device. The identity information is preferably a unique identifier of the transport container. The identity information may include, for example, a manufacturer identification, an owner identification, and / or a sequential number. representation In addition, the unique identifier and / or parts thereof may be displayed on the transport container. The processing device may be a mobile communication device, for example a smartphone, a tablet and / or a first information acquisition device, which is designed exclusively for detecting the identity information and further processing, for example a laser scanner, a matrix camera and / or a microphone. The first information acquisition device may be arranged in a counting machine or in a cash register system. The identity information can be coded, for example as a barcode, numerically and / or alphanumerically present. The identity information can be recorded and recorded optically, acoustically, haptically, magnetically, mechanically and / or electronically by the processing device by the transport container, for example by means of image evaluation optionally including OCR (Optical Character Recognition), acoustic voice input and / or input on a keyboard.

In a third step S3, additional information is acquired by the processing device. The additional information can be a store, an account, a storage bin, a user, a date and / or a currency. Furthermore, the additional information may be an amount or value of the valuable item, a signature, a denomination, a description, a destination addressee and / or a password. To record the additional information, the methods already described and described in step S2 can be used.

Preferably, a direct input is provided on the processing device. The processing device, preferably a smartphone, may have an interface, for example a display, for interacting with the user and optionally for inputting the additional information. The identi- Information and additional information can represent deposit data for the money transport sector.

Even if step S2 and step S3 are performed separately, a simultaneous detection would be conceivable.

In a fourth step S4, a data record is created from the identity information and the additional information. The data set is preferably coded, generating a machine-readable code. The machine-readable code is preferably an optically detectable coding, for example a barcode. Preferably, the machine-readable code is created using an application (app) on the processing device.

In a fifth step (S5), the machine-readable code is forwarded to an output unit. The output unit transmits the machine-readable code, for example, to an information carrier (S5.1). For example, the output unit has a printing device, wherein the output unit prints the machine-readable code, for example barcode, on a substrate, in particular a label, and / or the transport container. The printing device may be a device separate from the processing device. Furthermore, the output unit may be formed integrally with the processing apparatus. For example, the printing device can be designed as a label printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, POS printer and / or marking laser. Furthermore, the output unit may be a read / write device for contactless and / or contact-type communication with a chip. The output unit can transfer the machine-readable code to the chip. In a further step (S5.2), the information carrier is assigned or transferred to the transport container. The information carrier, for example a label, can be arranged on the transport container, for example, attached, clipped and / or glued. Furthermore, the information carrier can be designed for arrangement within the transport container. For this purpose, the transport container is preferably designed to be transparent and / or the information carrier is designed as an RFID chip. Furthermore, an attachment of the RFID chip on an outer wall of the transport container is conceivable.

In a sixth step (S6), the transport container is sealed, i. the valuable item in the transport container is protected against access and / or manipulation. Furthermore, unauthorized access and / or unauthorized manipulation would be recognizable.

With the aid of the illustrated method according to the steps S 1 to S 6, a marking of the transport container with a large amount of information for a user is simple, transparent and certainly possible without special circumstances, for example good writing.

By transfer or transfer (S7) of the transport container to a receiver or to a receiving station, the information carrier of the transport container is detected or read by a second information acquisition unit of the receiving station (S8). The second information acquisition unit can be designed as described above for step S2. The receiving station determines or decodes (S8.1) the machine-readable code from the information carrier and generates data for further processing of the transport container. In this case, the receiving station can also detect the identification information of the transport container. Furthermore, the reception check the authenticity of the transport container and the machine-readable code.

In a further step S8.2, the transport container is further processed, for example, properly opened, the valuable item booked and / or the valuables checked, sorted and / or distributed. For example, the value of the value of the object of value specified in the additional information can be checked for the value determined in the further processing. In addition, for evidence, the transport container can be fed to a storage station.

In step S2, the processing device can communicate with a background system (S2.1). The background system can be designed as a cloud architecture and, for example, comprise one or a plurality of computers or servers. The background system can have a database. The processing device may send the identification information to the background system for checking for authenticity, security and / or tracking. Moreover, in step S3, similar to step S2, the additional information may be sent to the background system for checking, tracking, and / or securing.

The creation of the data set and / or the machine-readable code as determined in step S4 can be performed by the processing device and / or by the background system (S4.1). Furthermore, the background system may assist the processing device in creating the data set and / or the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code according to step S5 can be forwarded by the processing device and / or the background system to the output unit. For example, it would be conceivable that the processing device generates the machine-readable code and forwards it to the background system. The background system may add a signature and instruct the output unit to output the machine-readable code including signature. Furthermore, a commissioning of the output unit for outputting the machine-readable code by the processing device would also be conceivable.

Similar to steps S2 to S5, the receiving station can be connected to one or the same background system as described above, wherein the corresponding background system can perform analogous tasks.
