Figure 2

[0052] ​In summary, the bank self-service teller machine provided in the embodiment comprises a banknote input port, a banknote output port, a multi-modal mixed banknote detection module, a temporary storage area, a banknote box, a coin sorting channel, a coin output port and a banknote withdrawal channel. The banknote box comprises a foreign currency mixed storage banknote box, a coin banknote box, a recycling banknote box and a circulating banknote box. The banknote input port is used for a user to put in banknotes. The banknote output port is used for the user to take out banknotes. The multi-modal mixed banknote detection module is used for detecting the banknotes put in by the user to obtain a detection result. The temporary storage area is used for storing real banknotes that have not been debited. The foreign currency mixed storage banknote box is used for storing foreign currencies of different denominations and different currencies. The coin banknote box is used for storing coins. The coins are used for change when the user handles foreign currency exchange business or are used to meet other small change needs of the user. The banknote withdrawal channel is used for withdrawing banknotes from the user in the case that the bank self-service teller machine is in a normal state and the user voluntarily cancels the deposit process. The coin sorting channel is used for conveying the coins to the coin output port as an independent coin output channel. The coin output port is used for the user to take out the coins. Compared with the existing self-service teller machine (ATM), the foreign currency mixed storage banknote box and the coin banknote box are added to support the foreign currency exchange function, enrich the scene of ATM financial services, offload the counter for handling exchange, reduce the labor cost of the bank and improve the foreign currency exchange experience of the user.

[0053] In addition, referring to Figure 3 A flowchart of a method for supporting foreign currency exchange by using the bank self-service teller machine introduced in the above embodiment is provided in the embodiment. The method comprises the following steps.

[0054] S301: In response to a business handling trigger operation of the user on the bank self-service teller machine, identity information of the user is obtained.

[0055] In the embodiment, it should be noted that since the bank self-service teller machine (ATM) introduced in the above embodiment is used to provide the foreign currency exchange function for the user, it is necessary to confirm whether the user needs to perform foreign currency exchange when operating the ATM. Therefore, in response to the business handling trigger operation of the user on the bank self-service teller machine, the identity information of the user is obtained, and then the type of the business handled by the user is determined according to the identity information of the user.

[0056] Specifically, an optional implementation manner is that when the identity information of the user is bank card information, face information or scan code information of the user, it can be determined that the type of the business handled by the user is a regular business of the bank self-service teller machine, or when the identity information of the user is passport or Hong Kong and Macao travel permit information of the user, it can be determined that the type of the business handled by the user is a foreign currency exchange business.

[0057] In the implementation manner, as Figure 4The user selects the authentication type of the identity information to determine whether to perform the regular ATM service or the foreign currency exchange service. Specifically, first, the user can select the type of the identification document. When the user places the passport / HK / Macao pass into the passport reading module of the ATM, the application enters the foreign currency exchange service interface. Conversely, when the user selects a bank card / facial recognition / code scanning type, the application enters the ATM regular service interface. The standby interface displays the menu thumbnails of the ATM regular service and the foreign currency exchange service, and the bottom displays the supported foreign currency exchange country flag pattern and text.

[0058] Then, the user enters the foreign currency exchange service process, the passport reading module reads the passport information, and performs document, customer information, facial recognition, live detection, chip photo and on-site photo comparison, and other verifications. After passing, the user can select the transaction currency to perform the foreign currency exchange service, and place the foreign currency banknotes into the paper currency input slot.

[0059] S302: When it is determined according to the user's identity information that the user handles the foreign currency exchange service, receive the foreign currency banknotes placed by the user through the paper currency input slot.

[0060] In this embodiment, when it is determined according to the user's identity information that the user handles the foreign currency exchange service, the AIM can receive the foreign currency banknotes placed by the user through the paper currency input slot, for executing step S303.

[0061] S303: Determine whether the foreign currency banknote is a real banknote.

[0062] In this embodiment, due to the large difference in foreign currency anti-counterfeit features, the material and size are various, and the traditional RMB checking unit for checking banknotes may not be suitable for fast and accurate identification of foreign currencies. Therefore, after the AIM receives the foreign currency banknotes placed by the user through the paper currency input slot, it can further use the magnetic detection unit, multispectral fusion detection (ultraviolet, infrared, terahertz) unit, laser detection unit, and contamination detection unit included in the multi-modal hybrid banknote checking module to identify whether the foreign currency banknote is a real banknote. Among them, the size of the foreign currency can be classified by laser measurement, which is large (>140mm), medium (120-140mm), small (<120mm), etc., and a currency-denomination-size mapping table is established to determine whether the foreign currency banknote is a real banknote. If yes, continue to execute the subsequent step S304, if not, continue to execute the subsequent step S305.

[0063] S304: Store the foreign currency banknote, and calculate the corresponding banknote amount according to the exchange rate, so as to complete the banknote distribution according to the banknote amount.

[0064] In an optional implementation, the specific implementation process of storing foreign currency banknotes can be: first, according to different currencies, sizes and exchange frequencies of foreign currencies, dynamic position allocation is performed on the foreign currency mixed storage banknote box of the bank self-service teller machine to obtain an allocation result. For example, dynamic priority calculation can be performed according to different currencies, sizes and exchange frequencies of foreign currencies, and dynamic position allocation is performed on the foreign currency mixed storage banknote box of the bank self-service teller machine according to the obtained priority calculation result to obtain an allocation result. Then, according to the allocation result, the foreign currency banknotes are stored in the corresponding position area in the foreign currency mixed storage banknote box.

[0065] In the implementation, for the calculation of the dynamic priority, the priority P = 0.6 * (real-time inventory gap / position capacity) + 0.3 * historical exchange frequency + 0.1 * size adaptation degree. In the formula, the real-time inventory gap refers to the remaining capacity of the position of a certain currency, the position capacity refers to the total capacity of the position, the historical exchange frequency is the proportion of the exchange times of the local currency recorded by the device to the total exchange times, and the size adaptation degree refers to the size classification. Large-denomination foreign currencies are preferentially allocated to wide-channel positions to reduce the rate of jammed banknotes. Then, according to the calculated priority, the device internal conveyor belt calculates the path, and the foreign currencies are classified into high-frequency areas, balanced areas and edge areas, as shown in FIG. 8. Figure 5 Through the multi-feature classification banknote detection and dynamic position allocation algorithm, efficient utilization and rapid sorting of the foreign currency mixed storage banknote box are realized.

[0066] In the implementation, the dispensing of banknotes or coins from the cash storage unit of the device is divided into two steps of logical dispensing and physical dispensing. The logical dispensing refers to calculating the optimal combination mode of banknotes and coins by an algorithm, and only outputting the instruction of "how to allocate", without involving the actual dispensing action. The physical dispensing refers to converting the logical dispensing instruction into mechanical execution, accurately grabbing the banknotes / coins from the corresponding banknote box and conveying them to the banknote outlet.

[0067] S305: The foreign currency banknotes are transmitted to the banknote outlet through the banknote dispensing channel of the self-service teller machine, or the foreign currency banknotes are stored in the recycling banknote box of the self-service teller machine.

[0068] In this way, when the ATM performs foreign currency exchange, a kind of foreign currency is selected and banknote detection is completed, the amount of banknotes (such as RMB) is calculated according to the exchange rate, and logical dispensing is completed according to the combination dispensing algorithm. The combination dispensing of banknotes and coins is completed by issuing the dispensing instruction of the SP, the convenience of foreign currency exchange is improved, the customer satisfaction is improved, and the labor processing cost is reduced.
