Abstract
A housing facilitates a service operation for a transaction device. The housing includes a transfer cassette interface structured to receive a cassette. The housing also includes a transaction device interface that is structured to couple to a cassette port of the transaction device when the housing is disposed within a vault of the transaction device such that the housing is removably coupled to the transaction device via the transaction device interface, and responsive to the transfer cassette interface receiving the cassette, operably couple the cassette to a transaction device transport apparatus via the transfer cassette interface.
Claims19
A housing that facilitates a service operation for a transaction device, the housing comprising:
- a transfer cassette interface structured to receive a cassette;
- and
- a transaction device interface structured to:
- couple to a cassette port of the transaction device when the housing is disposed within a vault of the transaction device such that the housing is removably coupled to the transaction device via the transaction device interface;
- and
- responsive to the transfer cassette interface receiving the cassette, operably couple the cassette to a transaction device transport apparatus via the transfer cassette interface.
A method of facilitating operations for a transaction device, the method comprising:
- coupling an adapter housing to the transaction device at a cassette port within a vault of the transaction device such that a transaction device transport apparatus is coupled to a transfer cassette interface via a transaction device interface;
- and
- responsive to the transfer cassette interface receiving a cassette, operably coupling the cassette to the transaction device transport apparatus via the transfer cassette interface;
- receiving a first user input and a second user input, wherein at least one of the first user input or the second user input is received via the transaction device;
- and
- responsive to receiving at least one of the first user input or the second user input and detecting, by a sensor, that the cassette is docked in the transfer cassette interface, communicatively coupling a housing control computing system to a transaction device computing system when the adapter housing is coupled to the transaction device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions embodied therein that, when executed by a processing circuit of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for a transaction device, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from a housing sensor, a first indication that a transfer cassette is installed in a housing, the housing positioned within a vault of the transaction device such that the housing is removably coupled to the transaction device via a transaction device interface of the housing;
- and
- providing a second indication to a transaction device computing system to cause a transaction device transport apparatus to begin transferring a set of banknotes to and from the transfer cassette and a storage cassette via the transaction device interface of the housing, the transaction device transport apparatus structured to be operably coupled to the transfer cassette via the transaction device interface such that the transaction device transport apparatus is structured to facilitate transporting banknotes to and from the transfer cassette.
