Portable Terminal for Banknote Storage Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional banknote processing devices require maintenance to be performed in a management room, separate from the location where the maintenance is needed, due to security concerns and the need to access specific information stored in the device, making immediate maintenance impossible.
Innovation Solution
A paper sheet storage device with a memory unit that stores and updates specific information, allowing for the judgment and performance of maintenance tasks in the same location by reading this information using a reader in the management room.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the manager carries the circulation-type banknote storage unit to a management room for maintenance, then security is improved and specific information can be accessed, but maintenance time is delayed and efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a portable terminal that copies the functionality of the management room's terminal. This portable terminal can read specific information from the banknote storage unit's memory device and display maintenance necessity judgments, allowing the manager to perform maintenance tasks at the installation location rather than transporting the storage unit to a management room.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the specific information is stored in the memory device of the banknote processing device, then data integrity is maintained, but immediate maintenance at the installation location becomes impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The portable terminal acts as an intermediary device between the banknote storage unit's memory device and the manager. It can access the memory device to read specific information about stored banknotes and maintenance status, then provide this information to the manager locally at the installation site without compromising the centralised data storage architecture.
3Reliability
If maintenance is performed in a separate management room, then security control is improved, but workflow efficiency deteriorates due to separate locations for information confirmation and maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces dynamic adaptability by providing the manager with a portable terminal that can function both at the installation location and potentially in the management room. This dynamic tool allows the workflow to adapt to different locations, enabling security-controlled access to specific information while maintaining the flexibility to perform maintenance wherever needed.

AI summary
The present invention makes it possible to perform both judgment of necessity of maintenance of a circulation-type paper sheet storage device and the maintenance of the circulation-type paper sheet storage device in the same place. The paper sheet storage device is a paper sheet storage device attached to a paper sheet processing device having a storage function for receiving paper sheets transported thereto and storing the paper sheets in the paper sheet storage device and/or a feeding function for feeding paper sheets stored in the paper sheet storage device. The paper sheet storage device includes a memory unit that memorizes therein specific information to be updated according to storage or feed of paper sheets.
