Cash Box Value Transfer via Account Memory
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for controlling the cycle of notes of value require transporting empty cash boxes to a cash center for counting and re-filling, which is inefficient and costly, as direct transfer between devices is not possible due to ownership and booking complexities.
Innovation Solution
Assigning an account memory element to the security transport company, allowing the subtraction and addition of the total value of notes in a cash box to manage ownership and enable direct transport and re-routing of cash boxes between devices without prior cash center processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cash boxes are transported to a cash center for counting and re-filling, then the notes of value can be counted and ownership can be transferred, but substantial transport expenses occur and the process is inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an account memory element as an intermediary that stores value information and enables direct ownership transfer between devices without physical cash box transport to a cash center. The account memory element acts as a mediator that records and validates the transfer of notes of value, allowing Device B to directly receive and process cash boxes from Device A through sensor detection and automated booking.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy or representation of the value in the account memory element that can be transferred independently of the physical cash box. Instead of transporting the physical cash box to verify ownership transfer, the system creates and transfers a digital record of the value, enabling direct device-to-device transactions while maintaining financial accountability.
2Productivity
If direct transport of cash boxes between devices is enabled, then transport expenses are reduced and efficiency is improved, but ownership booking and transfer become complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of cash box handling, counting, and booking with an automated sensor-based system. Sensors detect the presence and value of cash boxes, automatically trigger ownership transfer protocols, and update account memory elements without human intervention. This substitution of mechanical processes with automated detection and control systems simplifies the overall complexity despite enabling direct device-to-device transport.
3Extent of automation
If sensors are used to detect cash box removal and insertion, then automated control is achieved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the sensor system to perform multiple functions: detecting cash box presence, identifying cash box value, triggering ownership transfer, and updating account records. By making the sensor system multi-functional rather than requiring separate systems for each function, the overall device complexity is managed while achieving high automation in cash box handling and ownership transfer.

AI summary
A method for controlling a cycle of notes of value, wherein by a security transport company a cash box is removed from and/or inserted into a device for handling notes of value. The removal and/or the supplying of the cash box are detected by means of a sensor. After removal of a cash box from the device the total value of all notes of value received in the cash box is read out from the memory region of a memory element and is subtracted from a value stored in an account memory element assigned to the security transport company. After insertion of a cash box the total value is added to the value of the account memory element.
