Change fund comprises the bank note of the different denominations that pre-determine quantity or value of money.Bill handling apparatus can be so constructed so that user can select in advance change fund total value, be included in the denomination of the bank note in change fund and/or the bank note of each denomination give determined number or value.Alternatively, can determine based on carrying out these from the information about sales revenue, supplementary transaction, transfer transactions etc. of POS reception.
The predetermined quantity of the separated bank note for change fund of opening or the total value of the change fund that value can equal to be selected in advance by user.For example, if the total value of the change fund that user selects is in advance 100 dollars, the value of the separated bank note for change fund of opening is 100 dollars.
Yet, also can check the bank note that pre-determines quantity or value being included in change fund by total value and the difference between the second input value of the change fund selected in advance by user.For example, if the total value of the change fund that user selects is in advance 100 dollars, but during last working hour specific POS have bank note not enough and 60 dollars be transferred in this POS (for instance, supplement=60 dollars of transaction), the value of checking of the separated bank note for change fund of opening will be 160 dollars.In another example, if the total value of the change fund that user selects is in advance 100 dollars, but specific POS has the bank note supply of surplus and 40 dollars and has been transferred out of this POS (for instance during last working hour, transfer transactions=40 dollar), the value of checking of the so separated bank note for change fund of opening will be 60 dollars.
Below listed be the different embodiments that are used to form change fund.Change fund can comprise other combination of bank note and not be intended to be limited to listed combination below.
In one embodiment, bill handling apparatus can be configured to provide the change fund (for instance, the bank note of 20 1 dollar, the bank note of six 5 dollars, the bank note of five 10 dollars and the bank note of five 20 dollars are 200 dollars altogether) of the bank note that pre-determines quantity in each in a plurality of selected denominations.In another embodiment, change fund can be configured to comprise a total value, wherein the bank note in change fund is imported into order in bill handling apparatus and is distributed among selected denomination (for instance according to bank note, the distribution of the bank note of the selected denomination altogether or over 100 dollars, it is distributed by the order being imported in bill handling apparatus according to bank note).In another embodiment again, change fund can be configured to comprise a total value, the bank note that wherein distribution of the bank note in change fund comprises at least a certain amount of selected denomination (for instance, altogether or surpass the distribution of the bank note of 100 dollars, wherein selectedly for each denomination distributing, all comprise at least one bank note).
Bill handling apparatus determines whether to meet or exceed predetermined total quantity or the total value for the bank note of change fund.If also do not reach predetermined total quantity or the total value of bank note, bank note can be stacked on (step S6) in the stackable unit into change fund appointment.If met or exceeded predetermined total quantity or total value for the bank note of change fund, bank note can be stacked on as in the stackable unit of residue bank note appointment (step S7).
When preliminary election chooses the denomination that is included in the bank note in change fund, bill handling apparatus also determines that whether bank note be a kind of in selected denomination.If bank note has a kind of denomination in the selected denomination of coupling and do not meet or exceed predetermined total quantity or the total value of bank note, bank note can be stacked on (step S6) in the stackable unit into change fund appointment.If bank note is not a kind of in selected denomination and/or predetermined total quantity or the total value that has has met or exceeded bank note, bank note can be stacked on as in the stackable unit of residue bank note appointment (step S7).
When pre-determining the quantity of the bank note that is included in the selected denomination in change fund or value, bill handling apparatus also determines whether to have met or exceeded predetermined quantity or the value of the bank note in selected denomination.If bank note has a kind of denomination in the selected denomination of coupling, also do not meet or exceed predetermined quantity or value into the bank note of that selected denomination of bank note, and not meeting or exceeding predetermined total quantity or the value of bank note, bank note can be stacked on (step S6) in the stackable unit into change fund appointment.If bank note is not a kind of in selected denomination, predetermined quantity or value for the bank note of that denomination been have have been met or exceeded, and/or having met or exceeded predetermined total quantity or the value of bank note, bank note can be stacked on as in the stackable unit of residue bank note appointment (step S7).
In step S6, will make up the bank note of change fund and separate and the bank note that makes up change fund can be stacked to a stackable unit or be sorted in a plurality of stackable unit from other bank note.When the bank note of change fund is stacked in a stackable unit, change fund can be stacked in admixture or can be sorted according to denomination.When the bank note of change fund is assigned in a plurality of stackable unit, before stacking bank note, can sort the bank note in change fund according to denomination.The stackable unit that is designated as reception change fund can be any available stackable unit, comprises output stackable unit and/or useless coin stackable unit.
When sorting according to denomination, each special denomination can be stacked in separated stackable unit, or two or more special denominations can be stacked in same stackable unit.If two or more denominations are stacked in same stackable unit, different denominations can be by stacking (for instance with bias mode, a kind of bank note of denomination and the bank note of another kind of denomination stagger in the horizontal) or can be separated by inserting slip sheet, mechanical hook-up known in the art used.
During the denomination of the bank note in pre-determining change fund, be not a kind of any bank note in determined denomination can by be not to be stacked in stackable unit together with the residue bank note of ingredient of change fund, be stacked in separated stackable unit, or be stacked in useless coin stackable unit.Further, the quantity of the bank note of the special denomination in pre-determining change fund or value, and when the quantity of the bank note of the special denomination in change fund or value reach predetermined quantity or value, the any further bank note of special denomination can be stacked in stackable unit, be stacked in separated stackable unit together with residue bank note, or is stacked in useless coin stackable unit.
One or more change funds can be separated with the remainder of bank note.For example, if this heap bank note comprises the bank note of only collecting from single POS, a change fund can be separated so, still, for example, if this heap bank note comprises the bank note of collecting from a plurality of POS ' s, a plurality of change funds can be separated so.
If more than one change fund is opened separated, change fund can be stacked on respectively in separated stackable unit so, or two or more change fund can be stacked in same stackable unit.If two or more change funds are stacked in same stackable unit, different change funds are can be by the mode with biasing stacking or can be separated by inserting slip sheet, use mechanical hook-up known in the art.
Each change fund can sequentially be separated, wherein before entering into step S7 step S5 and S6 by together with sequentially repeatedly.For example, when the bank note in being stacked on the first change fund reaches predetermined quantity or value, stop the first change fund to be stacked in stackable unit, and start the second change fund to be stacked in stackable unit.
Change fund also can be separated simultaneously.For example, change fund can be stacked in their stackable unit separately, wherein before entering into step S7 step S5 and S6 by together with concurrently repeatedly.Alternatively, by the quantity of the separated change fund of opening, can increase predetermined quantity or the value (for instance, each change fund has 100 dollars * 5 change fund=500 dollar) of the bank note in change fund.
In step S7, residue bank note can be stacked in a stackable unit or be sorted in a plurality of stackable unit.When residue bank note is while being stacked in a stackable unit, residue bank note is can be by the state to mix stacking or can be sorted according to denomination.When residue bank note is sorted in a plurality of stackable unit, can be according to denomination sorting residue bank note before stacking bank note.Any available stackable unit can be designated as and receive residue bank note, comprises output stackable unit and/or useless coin stackable unit.
