Solution Overview

Problem

In countries with multiple institutes issuing money, clerks face a burden in preparing different documents for authentication, as the format and requirements vary among institutions, complicating the process of authenticating counterfeit or suspected money.

Innovation Solution

A money handling system with a recognition unit that identifies the issuing bank of suspect money and selects the appropriate document format and entry information based on stored correspondence information, reducing the need for manual preparation by generating report data with pre-entered information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple authentication institutes issue money and require different document formats, then the authentication system can accommodate diverse institutional requirements, but the clerk's workload and complexity of document preparation increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication system adaptabilityVSAvoiddocument preparation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The money handling apparatus is designed to handle multiple authentication institutes through a single integrated system. The control unit stores correspondence information for multiple institutes and can automatically select and generate appropriate documents for any institute, making the apparatus universal rather than requiring separate systems for each institute

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The control unit pre-stores correspondence information including document format information and entry information for multiple authentication institutes. This preliminary preparation allows the system to quickly generate correct documents without requiring clerks to manually research or prepare different formats for each institute

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If clerks manually prepare different documents for different authentication institutes, then each document can be customized to specific institute requirements, but the time and effort required for document preparation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument accuracyVSAvoiddocument preparation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The money handling apparatus performs document generation automatically without requiring external clerical assistance. The control unit reads the authentication institute's requirements from stored correspondence information and autonomously generates the appropriate document format and content, making the system self-sufficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of clerks preparing documents is replaced by an automated electronic system. The control unit electronically generates documents based on stored correspondence information, substituting human manual work with automated information processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Extent of automation

If the system stores and manages correspondence information for multiple authentication institutes, then the system can automatically select the correct document format, but the memory requirements and data management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument selection automationVSAvoidstored correspondence information
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The correspondence information is segmented into distinct components: authentication institute identification, document format information, and entry information. This segmentation allows the control unit to efficiently access and process only the relevant portions of stored data when generating documents for specific institutes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
