Banknote processing system and method

摘要

Disclosed are a banknote processing system and method. The system comprises: a terminal (1), an identification unit (2), a physical banknote box (4), a banknote box information storage unit (5), and a main control unit (3). The identification unit (2) detects the banknotes getting in or out of the physical banknote box (4) to obtain inherent information of the banknotes; the main control unit (3) updates a virtual electronic banknote box according to the inherent information of the banknotes, and determine information of the banknotes in the physical banknote box (4) according to the information of the virtual electronic banknote box. The virtual electronic banknote box is a set of the inherent information of the banknotes, wherein the inherent information of the virtual electronic banknote box is one-to-one mapped to the banknotes in the physical banknote box (4), and the storage sequence of the inherent information is the same as the placement sequence of the banknotes in the physical banknote box (4).

主权项

1. A banknote processing system, comprising a terminal machine, an identification unit, a physical banknote box, a banknote box information memory and a main control unit, wherein:
the terminal machine is configured to deal with a cash deposit transaction and/or a cash withdrawal transaction; the identification unit is configured to, during the cash deposit transaction or the cash withdrawal transaction via the terminal machine, detect a banknote which is input into or output from the physical banknote box to get inherent information on the banknote, the inherent information is identification information for distinguishing various banknotes; the physical banknote box is configured to store banknotes; the banknote box information memory is configured to:
store a virtual electronic banknote box, the virtual electronic banknote box is an aggregate of the inherent information on banknotes, the inherent information in the virtual electronic banknote box and banknotes in the physical banknote box have a one-to-one mapping relationship with each other, and a storage order of the inherent information and a stacking order of the banknotes in the physical banknote box are equal; andstore a banknote box information table which comprises physical banknote box information on an attribute of the physical banknote box,
wherein the attribute comprises at least one of a believable status, an unbelievable status, and an unavailable status, andwherein the believable status represents that the inherent information in the virtual electronic banknote box and the banknotes in the physical banknote box have the one-to-one mapping relationship with each other; the unbelievable status represents that there is dislocation in a mapping relationship between the virtual electronic banknote box and the physical banknote box, and correction of outputting the banknotes is needed; and the unavailable status represents that there is a severe error in the mapping relationship between the virtual electronic banknote box and the physical banknote box, and automatic correction is not available; and the main control unit is configured to update the virtual electronic banknote box according to the inherent information on the banknote obtained by the identification unit; and to determine information on the banknotes in the physical banknote box according to the inherent information in the virtual electronic banknote box.
