[0028] This disclosure provides a method for monitoring the status of cash boxes, applied to a mobile terminal. The method includes: obtaining the current cash replenishment plan of a target institution from a cash box management system; the cash replenishment plan includes information on the routes involved in cash replenishment, information on self-service devices on the routes to be replenished, and information on the cash boxes to be replenished on the self-service devices; determining the packing method of the cash boxes to be replenished in the cash replenishment plan, and generating a recommended transport route for the armored trucks configured by the target institution based on the packing method; binding the cash boxes to be replenished to the mobile terminal when they are transferred from the vault to the user of the mobile terminal; during the process of transporting the cash boxes to be replenished using the armored truck, the mobile terminal obtains the real-time location information of the cash boxes to be replenished; determining the deviation between the real-time location information and the recommended transport route, and determining the transport status of the cash boxes to be replenished based on the deviation.
[0029] Figure 1 The illustration schematically depicts an application scenario of a cash box status monitoring method, a mobile terminal, an electronic device, a medium, and a program product according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, application scenario 100 according to this embodiment can be a bank cash box circulation scenario, including the entire cash business process of retrieving cash from the vault, delivering it to self-service equipment (such as ATMs), and then returning it to the vault. This bank cash box circulation scenario may include, for example, a vault 101, an armored truck 102, a cash replenishment room 103 where the self-service equipment is located, and a management server 104. The armored truck 102 carries a cash box A awaiting replenishment, which is received by cash replenishment personnel C during the cash box receiving process from the vault 101. Cash replenishment personnel C carries a mobile terminal B.
[0031] Vault 101 is used by target institutions (such as banks) to store large amounts of cash and other securities, and has a high level of security protection. As a cash storage center, Vault 101 is responsible for the centralized custody and transfer of cash.
[0032] The armored truck 102 is a special vehicle designed for the secure transport of cash, important documents, and other valuables, ensuring the absolute safety of financial assets during transfer. The armored truck 102 transports cash from the vault to ATMs at various branches.
[0033] Self-service equipment includes ATMs (Automated Teller Machines), which are devices provided by banks to offer self-service functions such as withdrawals, deposits, balance inquiries, and transfers. ATMs obtain cash from cash boxes to provide deposit and withdrawal services to customers. The cash replenishment room 103, where the self-service equipment is located, is a separate, enclosed area used by the bank for ATM cash replenishment and maintenance. The functions of cash replenishment room 103 include: receiving cash boxes transferred from the vault through a dedicated channel to replenish the cash for the ATMs.
[0034] The management server 104 is equipped with a cash box management system for monitoring and managing the cash boxes throughout the entire process. The management server 104 is connected to the vault 101, the armored truck 102, the cash replenishment room 103, and the mobile terminal B via a network. This network can include various connection types, such as wired or wireless communication links or fiber optic cables.
[0035] It is understandable that cash box A, which is to be filled, is used to store cash to be issued. The cash flow path includes: the main path of cash issuance, namely vault → cash box → ATM → customer; and the main path of cash return, namely customer → ATM → cash box → vault.
[0036] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when cash replenishment personnel C exits the vault 101 and receives the cash box A to be replenished, the mobile terminal B carried by personnel C can bind the cash box A to itself. Through the target application installed on the mobile terminal B carried by personnel C, the real-time location information of the cash box A is uploaded to the cash box management system during the transportation of the cash box A. At the same time, the deviation of the real-time location information from the recommended transportation route of the armored truck 102 is compared to determine the transportation status of the cash box A, thereby tracking the transportation status of the cash box A in real time.
[0037] Mobile terminal B refers to mobile electronic devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, PDAs (personal digital assistants), smart wearable devices (such as smartwatches and AR glasses), GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation devices, and vehicle terminals.
[0038] It should be noted that the cash box status monitoring method provided in this disclosure embodiment can generally be executed by a mobile terminal B. Accordingly, the mobile terminal provided in this disclosure embodiment includes mobile terminal B.
[0039] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of vaults, armored trucks, cash replenishment rooms, and management servers shown is merely illustrative. Depending on implementation needs, any number of vaults, armored trucks, cash replenishment rooms, and management servers can be included.
[0040] The following will be based on Figure 1 The described scene, through Figures 2-4 The cash box status monitoring method according to the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail.
[0041] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a cash box status monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the cash box status monitoring method of this embodiment includes operations S210 to S250, and the method can be executed by a mobile terminal.
[0043] In operation S210, the current cash replenishment plan of the target institution is obtained from the cash box management system. The cash replenishment plan includes information on the lines involved in cash replenishment, information on the self-service machines on the lines that are to be replenished, and information on the cash boxes on the self-service machines that are to be replenished.
[0044] The target institution is the management organization of the cash box management system, such as a bank or other financial institution. The cash box management system generates a daily cash replenishment plan for the target institution. This plan includes the routes involved in the replenishment, the self-service machines (such as ATMs) required for replenishment on each route, and information about the cash boxes to be replenished on those machines (such as brand, model, and denomination). The replenishment plan can include one or more routes, each route can require one or more self-service machines, and each self-service machine can have one or more cash boxes to be replenished.
[0045] Depending on the actual situation, when a mobile terminal needs to monitor the status of the cash box, it can obtain the target institution's current cash replenishment plan from the cash box management system.
[0046] In operation S220, the packing method of the cash boxes to be added in the cash replenishment plan is determined, and based on the packing method, a recommended escort route for the cash transport vehicles configured for the target institution is generated.
[0047] In embodiments of this disclosure, the packing method includes packing by line and packing by equipment.
[0048] Since a cash replenishment plan involves multiple routes, and each route has multiple machines, packing cash by route means packing all cash boxes on the same route together at once. Only after the cash is transferred from the vault for replenishment will it be known which individual cash box will be assigned to which ATM. The advantage of packing cash by route is that it reduces intermediate backtracking, improves cash transport efficiency, and is suitable for areas with dense branch networks.
[0049] Packing by device refers to packing each self-service device (A2 / AQI) individually, with each cash box corresponding to a unique device number. The specific A2 / AQI to which the cash box will be allocated is determined during the packing process. Packing by device is suitable for scenarios where A2 / AQI are geographically dispersed or where cash replenishment needs vary significantly, facilitating precise management.
[0050] Cash replenishment plans can be categorized into two types: by route and by device. For example, if a cash replenishment plan includes one route, or multiple routes with a high degree of overlap (a quantitative indicator of route similarity or direction), packing by route is an option. Similarly, if multiple ATMs within a cash replenishment plan are located primarily on the same route, packing by route is also an option. Furthermore, if a single ATM within a cash replenishment plan has a large number of cash boxes to be replenished, packing by device is an option.
[0051] After selecting the packing method for the cash boxes to be loaded, a recommended transport route for the armored trucks configured by the target institution can be generated based on the packing method.
[0052] In operation S230, when the cash box to be replenished is transferred from the vault to the user of the mobile terminal, the cash box to be replenished is bound to the mobile terminal.
[0053] The mobile terminal is used by the personnel receiving the cash boxes when they are taken from the vault (also known as cash replenishment personnel). When the cash replenishment personnel receive the cash boxes from the vault, they can bind the cash boxes to their mobile terminals.
[0054] It should be noted that the binding here does not involve physically binding two pieces of hardware, but rather binding the information of the cash box to be added with the target application installed on the mobile terminal. This ensures that the mobile terminal can identify the correct cash box and that the cash-adding personnel carrying the mobile terminal are on the same armored vehicle as the cash box, preventing virtual escort scenarios.
[0055] When operating the S240, during the process of using an armored truck to transport cash boxes to be replenished, the mobile terminal obtains the real-time location information of the cash boxes to be replenished.
[0056] The system uses a target application installed on a mobile device to obtain the real-time location information of the cash-to-be-added boxes during transport. For example, the target application could be a location service application, a real-time location sharing application, etc.
[0057] For example, login to target applications on mobile terminals uses facial recognition or fingerprint recognition to ensure that the person logging in is the actual designated person adding cash, thus guaranteeing the security of the target application.
[0058] In some embodiments, the mobile terminal can also upload real-time location information to the cash box management system.
[0059] During operation of S250, the deviation between the real-time location information and the recommended escort route is determined, and the escort status of the cash box to be added is determined based on the deviation.
[0060] Since the real-time location information changes continuously during the transport of the cash box to be added, the transport status of the cash box to be added can be determined by comparing the deviation of the real-time location information from the recommended transport route of the armored truck. This transport status is dynamic, not fixed.
[0061] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, when cash replenishment personnel receive cash boxes to be replenished from the vault, their mobile terminals can bind the cash boxes to the mobile terminals themselves. During the transport of the cash boxes, the real-time location information of the cash boxes is obtained. By comparing the deviation of this real-time location information from the recommended transport route of the armored truck, the transport status of the cash boxes is determined, thereby tracking the transport status of the cash boxes in real time. Thus, the embodiments of this disclosure track the transport status of cash boxes in real time in a mobile internet mode. Without modifying the hardware of the cash boxes themselves, and combined with the characteristics of cash replenishment, it enables real-time tracking of the trajectory of the cash boxes after they leave the vault, real-time synchronization of the operation status, and real-time verification of replenishment information. Ultimately, it achieves complete information on the cash replenishment process of self-service equipment cash boxes, ensuring the security and accuracy of cash replenishment. This overcomes the disadvantage of traditional cash box status monitoring methods that require upgrading cash box equipment and adding communication equipment, resulting in excessively high costs.
[0062] In some embodiments, since the packing method includes packing by route and packing by equipment, the above operation S220 generates a recommended transport route for the armored truck configured by the target institution based on the packing method, including:
[0063] When the packing method is packing according to the route, the recommended escort route pushed by the cash box management system can be obtained through the target application on the mobile terminal;
[0064] When the packing method is to pack according to the equipment, and the cash box to be added is transferred from the vault to the user of the mobile terminal, the recommended escort route pushed by the cash box management system is obtained through the target application of the mobile terminal.
[0065] Based on the cash replenishment plan, cash can be packed either according to route or according to equipment. Different packing methods determine different recommended transport routes. When the cash boxes to be replenished are packed, if the packing method is according to route, since the route of the cash boxes to be replenished is already determined, the cash box management system will simultaneously generate a recommended transport route for the armored truck. This recommended transport route is pushed by the cash box management system to the target application on the mobile terminal of the cash replenishment personnel for recommending the armored truck's driving route during transport and for monitoring and tracking the status of the transport process.
[0066] When the cash box to be added is packed, if the packing method is according to the equipment, the recommended escort route can only be pushed from the cash box management system to the target application of the cash adding personnel's mobile terminal when the cash box to be added is transferred from the vault to the user of the mobile terminal (i.e., the cash adding personnel).
[0067] In some embodiments, generating a recommended escort route for the armored truck configured by the target institution in the above-described operation S220 includes: obtaining multiple commonly used escort routes of the armored truck within a preset historical period and the historical cash replenishment situation on each commonly used escort route; determining the current real-time traffic information of each commonly used escort route; and determining a recommended escort route from multiple commonly used escort routes based on at least one of the historical cash replenishment situation and the real-time traffic information.
[0068] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the recommended escort route is not fixed. The cash box management system can generate an optimal recommended escort route based on multiple commonly used escort routes within a preset historical period, including at least one of the historical cash replenishment situation of a certain route and the current real-time traffic information (obtained from the target application), after the cash replenishment personnel receive the cash box to be replenished, thereby dynamically planning the route according to the actual situation.
[0069] In some embodiments, binding the cash box to be added to the mobile terminal in the above operation S230 includes: scanning the identification information attached to the cash box to be added through the target application of the mobile terminal; the identification information includes an RFID tag or a QR code; and identifying the cash box to be added based on the identification information.
[0070] For example, an RFID tag can be a passive RFID tag installed at a fixed location on the cash box to be replenished, used to store a unique cash box number and transmit the number via radio frequency signals. Another example is a QR code, which can be a dedicated QR code set at a fixed location on the cash box to be replenished, primarily used for efficient and accurate cash box tracking and inbound / outbound management.
[0071] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, the information of the cash box to be replenished can be bound to the target application installed on the mobile terminal, so that the mobile terminal can identify the correct cash box to be replenished, ensuring that the cash replenishing personnel carrying the mobile terminal and the cash box to be replenished are on the same armored vehicle, and preventing virtual escort scenarios.
[0072] Figure 3 One of the flowcharts illustrating the determination of the escort status of a cash box to be loaded with cash according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.
[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the above operation S250, which determines the escort status of the cash box to be added based on the deviation, includes: if the deviation does not exceed a preset deviation threshold, determining the escort status of the cash box to be added as cash being added in transit; if the deviation exceeds the preset deviation threshold, determining the escort status of the cash box to be added as an abnormal escort route.
[0074] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, by comparing the deviation of the real-time location information with the recommended transport route of the armored truck, different transport statuses of the cash boxes to be added can be determined under different deviation conditions, thereby tracking the transport status of the cash boxes to be added in real time.
[0075] Figure 4 The second flowchart illustrating the process of determining the transport status of a cash box to be loaded with cash according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown schematically.
[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the above-mentioned operation S250, which determines the escort status of the cash box to be added based on the deviation, also includes operations S501 to S503:
[0077] When operating S501, determine the target escort time for the armored truck based on the recommended escort route;
[0078] In operation S502, the actual escort period of the cash box to be added is determined based on the deviation.
[0079] In operation S503, if the actual escort period exceeds the target escort period, the escort status of the cash box to be added is determined to be an abnormal escort time.
[0080] In bank cash escort operations, once a specific recommended escort route is selected, the most suitable, anticipated, and pre-planned ideal time range for the escort can be determined in advance based on factors such as traffic conditions and security risks of the route. This is the target escort period for the armored truck.
[0081] By dynamically monitoring the real-time location information of the armored truck and its deviation from the recommended transport route, the actual transport time for the cash boxes to be loaded can be determined. This actual transport time may be the same as or different from the expected target transport time.
[0082] If the actual transport period exceeds the target transport period, meaning the actual time spent by the armored truck during transport exceeds the pre-planned ideal time range, this situation may be caused by reasons such as traffic delays, operational delays, or security risk response. In this case, embodiments of this disclosure can update the transport status of the cash box to be loaded to "abnormal transport time".
[0083] Furthermore, reminder messages can be generated on mobile devices to alert cash-carrying personnel if there are any abnormalities in the current transport time.
[0084] Through the embodiments of this disclosure, when the actual time spent by the armored truck during transport exceeds the pre-planned ideal time range, the transport status of the cash box to be added will be updated to abnormal transport time, and corresponding reminder information can also be generated.
[0085] In some embodiments, the cash box status monitoring method further includes performing the following operations after the above-described operation S250: when the cash box to be replenished is transported to the cash replenishment room where the self-service equipment is located, scanning the first identification information attached to the self-service equipment and the second identification information attached to the cash box to be replenished through the target application of the mobile terminal to bind the self-service equipment and the cash box to be replenished; and completing the cash replenishment operation of the cash box to be replenished after the binding of the self-service equipment and the cash box to be replenished is completed.
[0086] Specifically, when the cash replenishment personnel arrive at the cash replenishment room where the ATM is located (i.e., the cash boxes to be replenished are transported to the cash replenishment room), if the ATM has not yet completed its clearing operation, meaning there are cash boxes that need to be unloaded, the personnel can scan the ATM's identification information (such as a QR code) and the identification information of the cash boxes to be unloaded using a target application on a mobile terminal. This unbinding of the cash boxes from the ATM completes the clearing operation, and the corresponding information is simultaneously transmitted back to the cash box management system. In essence, this unbinding is equivalent to retrieving the cash boxes and equipment from the existing cash boxes for counting, and the cash box management system changes the cash box status from "in use on the machine" to "returned for counting."
[0087] After the machine clearing operation is completed, the target application on the mobile terminal can scan the ATM's first identification information and the cash bin's second identification information (such as an RFID tag or QR code) to bind the cash bin to the ATM, completing the cash replenishment operation. Simultaneously, the corresponding information is transmitted back to the cash bin management system. In essence, this binding involves placing the cash bin on the ATM, and the cash bin management system changes the cash bin's status from "in transit" to "in use."
[0088] Understandably, the daily cash replenishment plan includes at least one of two operations: replenishing cash boxes and unloading cash boxes. Furthermore, for cash boxes that are en route for unloading, similar to the cash box status monitoring method described above, the mobile terminal will simultaneously generate a corresponding recommended transport route and synchronize the real-time location information of the cash return status. For unloading tasks that exceed the time limit or deviate from the recommended transport route, corresponding reminder messages will be generated. Because the timing of cash replenishment and cash return differs, road conditions will vary, resulting in different recommended transport routes and real-time location information.
[0089] In the embodiments of this disclosure, after the cash box is transported to the cash replenishment room, the target application on the mobile terminal scans the QR code of the cash box and the identification information of the ATM machine to bind the cash box to the ATM machine and complete the cash replenishment operation. By scanning the QR code of the cash box to be unloaded and the identification information of the ATM machine, the machine clearing and verification operation of the cash box to be unloaded is realized, and the specific information is synchronized to the cash box management system to complete the machine clearing and cash replenishment operation in the cash replenishment room.
