Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transaction processing systems face issues with unreliable data acquisition of counterfeit cash objects from cash processing apparatuses to server apparatuses due to potential communication problems, leading to incorrect information reporting to central banks.

Innovation Solution

A transaction processing method and system where the cash processing apparatus recognizes and transmits counterfeit cash object data to the server apparatus, with the server requesting and retransmitting data if initial transmission fails, ensuring reliable data acquisition and updating authenticity criteria for improved accuracy across connected systems.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the automatic teller machine transmits counterfeit bill information to the management apparatus, then the management apparatus receives transaction information, but communication failures may cause incorrect information reporting to the central bank

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation transmission reliabilityVSAvoidcounterfeit bill information loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The server apparatus transmits a request to the cash processing apparatus to preliminarily prepare for data transmission. This preliminary action ensures that the cash processing apparatus is ready to send counterfeit bill information even if the initial transmission from the automatic teller machine fails, thereby preventing information loss and ensuring reliable reporting to the central bank

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The server apparatus receives feedback from the cash processing apparatus regarding counterfeit bill information. This feedback mechanism ensures that the server can obtain accurate information directly from the cash processing apparatus, compensating for potential communication failures between the automatic teller machine and the management apparatus

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If the management apparatus receives information directly from the automatic teller machine, then the system structure is simple, but communication failures lead to incorrect reporting

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structure complexityVSAvoidinformation reporting reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The cash processing apparatus serves as an intermediary between the automatic teller machine and the server apparatus. It receives counterfeit bill information from the automatic teller machine and transmits it to the server, ensuring reliable information flow even if direct communication between the automatic teller machine and management apparatus fails

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The server apparatus sends a request to the cash processing apparatus in advance, ensuring that the intermediary is prepared to transmit information. This preliminary action enhances the reliability of information reporting while maintaining a relatively simple system structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
