Solution Overview

Problem

Existing XFS standards lack sufficient commands for effective error processing in devices, making it difficult to manage errors effectively when they occur during transactions involving valuable media.

Innovation Solution

A medium processing system and method that acquires first error information directly from devices without middleware, enabling error recovery processing based on this information to determine the return destination of valuable media and facilitate extraction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If error processing is performed through middleware according to XFS standards, then system portability and standardization are improved, but error control capability and recovery effectiveness deteriorate due to insufficient error processing commands in the standards

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem portabilityVSAvoiderror control capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The error processing function is segmented into two parts: standard error processing through middleware for portability, and additional error information acquisition directly from the device for enhanced control. This segmentation allows the system to maintain standardization benefits while overcoming the limitations of insufficient error processing commands in XFS standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The application acts as an intermediary that bridges the middleware and the device. It receives error information directly from the device without going through the middleware, processes this information, and performs appropriate error recovery. This intermediary role enables the system to bypass the limitations of the middleware's error processing capabilities while maintaining system architecture integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If error information is acquired through middleware, then system architecture consistency is maintained, but error information completeness and processing effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem architecture consistencyVSAvoiderror information completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The application performs preliminary action by acquiring error information directly from the device before the middleware processes it. This allows the application to obtain complete and accurate error information that may be lost or transformed during middleware processing, enabling more effective error recovery while maintaining architectural consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the application continuously monitors error information from the device and adjusts its error recovery actions accordingly. This direct feedback loop ensures that the most current and complete error information is used for decision-making, improving processing effectiveness while maintaining system architecture stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If standard middleware processing is used for all error handling, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but error recovery effectiveness and transaction management efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoiderror recovery effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of using standard middleware processing for all error handling, the application performs partial error processing directly by acquiring error information from the device. This excessive action of directly accessing device error information goes beyond the standard approach and significantly improves error recovery effectiveness while maintaining reasonable implementation complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A medium processing system includes: a memory and a processor, in which the processor performs application execution for exchanging transaction information with a device via middleware to perform information processing on a transaction of a valuable medium, the device being configured to perform the transaction, and error processing of acquiring, upon occurrence of an error in the device during the transaction of the valuable medium, first error information from among pieces of information on the error without the middleware to perform error recovery processing on the error based on the first error information.
