Billhandling apparatus and method for transmitting code information

摘要

An intelligent cash box system is provided which comprises: a validator 2 attached in a bill handling apparatus 1; a detection sensor 45 mounted in validator 2; a control circuit 47 connected to detection sensor 45; a card 3 bearing at least a code recorded on card 3 for identifying bill handling apparatus 1; a stacker 4 attached to validator 2 for accumulating bills 44 considered as genuine by validator 2; and an intelligent storage 5 provided in stacker 4. The card 3 can be inserted into validator 2 so that detection sensor 45 detects the code on card 3 and bill information on bill 44, and forwards the code and bill information to control circuit 47 which then transmits the code and bill information to intelligent storage 5 for storage therein. The code information identifies bill handling apparatus 1 from which stacker 4 is removed, and the bill information enables to collate an amount of collected bills in a plurality of stackers 4 with an amount of bills considered genuine and stored in stackers 4 without connection of validator 2 to any control host computer.
