Counterfeit Note Tracking via Pre-Recognition Data Capture
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for recognizing counterfeit notes face challenges in data collection and template updates due to lack of access to genuine counterfeits, leading to incorrect identification and maintenance issues in self-service terminals.
Innovation Solution
A system that collects data from counterfeit notes before recognition, stores it on a secure digital card, and allows retrieval and updating of counterfeit templates using unique identifiers, enabling self-service terminal manufacturers to modify templates without direct access to the notes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If counterfeit notes are recognized and turned over to authorities as evidence, then counterfeit identification is achieved, but access to the counterfeit notes for data collection is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs data collection actions before the counterfeit note is turned over to authorities. The self-service terminal collects properties and characteristics of the counterfeit note during the initial recognition process, storing this information locally. This preliminary data collection ensures that valuable information is captured before the note leaves the terminal's control
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of requiring physical access to the original counterfeit note, the system creates and stores a digital copy of the note's properties and characteristics. This digital representation includes measured properties that replicate the essential features of the counterfeit note, allowing manufacturers to analyze and update templates without needing the physical evidence
2Measurement precision
If counterfeit templates are updated frequently to improve recognition accuracy, then identification precision improves, but system complexity and maintenance requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service template updates where the self-service terminal automatically collects counterfeit note data and transmits it to manufacturers. The manufacturers then update the templates and distribute them back to terminals through software updates, eliminating the need for manual intervention at the terminal level and reducing maintenance complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where counterfeit note data collected from terminals is transmitted to manufacturers, who use this information to refine and update templates. These updated templates are then distributed back to terminals, creating a continuous improvement cycle that enhances recognition accuracy while automating the update process
