Method and system for self-service equipment outputting and collecting money

A method for outputting and collecting money applied to self-service equipment, comprising the following sequential steps:

• (1) stopping temporarily a function of normal self-service cash service when a dedicated collecting box and a waste money box become full;
• (2) selecting an appropriate money box from all functional money boxes to act as a collecting box;
• (3) proceeding to step (4) in the case that the selected money box is empty, or separating normal money in the case that the normal money exists in the selected money box;
• (4) labeling the selected money box as the collecting box and notifying an upper service software;
• (5) configuring the selected money box to be a temporary collecting box;
• and
• (6) restoring the function of normal self-service cash service, and performing money collecting processing in the self-service process by using the temporary collecting box.

A system for outputting and collecting money applied to self-service equipment, comprising:

• (1) a self-service serving module, configured to provide software and hardware devices for the self-service;
• (2) a dedicated collecting box being full or abnormal event monitoring module, configured to learn an event that the dedicated collecting box is full or fails in time and report the event to the self-service serving module;
• (3) a money box status determining module, configured to determine whether the money box is full or empty, or whether money is too less;
• (4) a temporary collecting box selection module, configured to search for an appropriate money box to act as the temporary collection box in the case that the dedicated collection box is full or fails;
• and
• (5) a temporary collecting box setting module, configured to set a money box to act as the temporary collection box for accommodating the collected money in the case that the dedicated collection box is full or fails,
• wherein the dedicated collecting box being full or abnormal event monitoring module transmits an event signal to the self-service serving module once it is found that the dedicated collecting box fails to service normally, and the self-service serving module suspends the cash service;
• the self-service serving module notifies the money box status determining module to determine the status of each functional money box and a money box of which the remaining space meets the space requirement for the collecting box is selected to act as the temporary collecting box among all money boxes in the self-service equipment except a money box having stuck money based on a type of the self-service equipment and a preset selection policy;
• the temporary collecting setting module performs a setting of temporary collecting box on the selected money box, separates the normal money in the money box, and sets the functional money box as the temporary collection box for accommodating the collected money in the subsequent self-service cash service;
• the temporary collecting box setting module sets the selected money box as the temporary collecting box, makes the dedicated collecting box quit the self-service, and transmits an event to notify the self-service serving module upon completion of the setting;
• and the self-service serving module provides the cash service again, and uses the temporary collecting box to accommodate the collected money in service.
