US 12,424,049 B2 · Intelligent cash handling

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to cash handling devices that provide intelligent monitoring and management of cash cycles. A cash handling device having at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory may receive, from a mobile device, a request to process a pre-staged transaction. Subsequently, the cash handling device may generate and present a graphical identifier based on the mobile device requesting access to the cash handling device. Next, the cash handling device may verify that the mobile device is authorized to perform the pre-staged transaction based on the graphical identifier being scanned by the mobile device and cause a connection to be established between the cash handling device and the mobile device. Thereafter, the cash handling device may identify and process the pre-staged transaction associated with the mobile device. Then, the cash handling device may generate a notification indicating completed processing of the identified pre-staged transaction.

A cash handling device configured to receive currency and dispense the currency that was received, comprising:

at least one processor;
a communication interface;
a scanning unit coupled to an item accepting and dispensing device;
and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the cash handling device to:
receive, via the item accepting and dispensing device, in a deposit transaction, a deposit comprising one or more banknotes, wherein the received one or more banknotes are able to be dispensed in a subsequent transaction;
scan and digitize, via the scanning unit coupled to the item accepting and dispensing device, the one or more banknotes;
validate the one or more banknotes;
store, in a datastore, identification information related to each of the one or more banknotes;
cause a cash handling device support server to generate, using the identification information related to each of the one or more banknotes, one or more reports comprising information indicative of an overall cash position of an enterprise in real-time;
and
cause the cash handling device support server to send one or more commands to a user computing device to display the one or more reports.
