An automated machineis provided to comprise a communications devicefor receiving remotely operable signals emitted from a mobile terminalto produce monetary signals corresponding to money amount data in the remotely operable signals, a bill acceptorfor validating bills inserted from the outside to produce the monetary signals when bill acceptorjudges the inserted bill to be genuine and for relaying the monetary signals from communications device, a control devicethat has built-in program software to produce drive signals of the amount corresponding to the monetary signals in accordance with the program software when control devicereceives the monetary signals from bill acceptor. In another aspect, communications devicemay receive the remotely operable signals emitted from mobile terminalto produce the monetary signals corresponding to the money amount data in the remotely operable signals and receive the monetary signals from bill acceptorand send them to control device

Automated machine provided with a bill acceptor for driving a drive device

An electronic payment system is provided to comprise a mobile terminalfor emitting remotely operable signals, and a printing machinethat comprises a communications devicefor receiving the remotely operable signals emitted from mobile terminalto drive automated machine, an automatic payment deviceconnected to communications deviceand a financial databaseof a banking depository system, and a printerconnected to communications devicefor printing information on a record radium for the real-time electronic transaction without credit transaction to offer goods, services or amusement to users from automated machineand to dispense recording medium for users to confirm the transaction fee amount that was withdrawn from the account at financial database

Electronic payment system for operating automated machine

An electronic payment system is provided to comprise a mobile terminalfor emitting a remotely operable signal, a communications deviceconnected to an automated machinefor receiving remotely operable signal emitted from mobile terminal, and an automatic payment devicelinked to a financial database. Communications deviceretrieves from remotely operable signal an account number of a holder of the account at financial database. Payment devicereceives a monetary signal indicative of a transaction fee, withdraws the amount of transaction fee from the correct holder's account to produce an authorization signal to communications devicethat drives automated machinewithout credit transaction.

Electronic payment system for automated machine

Based on information recorded on and read out from a card, a card printer erasably writes information on the card or erases information recorded on the card. The card printer comprises transport means T for transporting cardalong a passagewayhaving an inlet, reading means R provided in the vicinity of passagewayfor reading out information recorded on a surface of cardtransported along passageway, printing means P for recording information on and erasing information from the surface of card, and control means IC electrically connected to transport means T, reading means R and printing means P for determining whether to record information on or to erase information from surface of cardand for controlling operation of transport means T and printing means P depending on information forwarded from reading means R.

Card printer and card printing/stacking device

An intelligent cash box system is provided which comprises: a validatorattached in a bill handling apparatus; a detection sensormounted in validator; a control circuitconnected to detection sensor; a cardbearing at least a code recorded on cardfor identifying bill handling apparatus; a stackerattached to validatorfor accumulating billsconsidered as genuine by validator; and an intelligent storageprovided in stacker. The cardcan be inserted into validatorso that detection sensordetects the code on cardand bill information on bill, and forwards the code and bill information to control circuitwhich then transmits the code and bill information to intelligent storagefor storage therein. The code information identifies bill handling apparatusfrom which stackeris removed, and the bill information enables to collate an amount of collected bills in a plurality of stackerswith an amount of bills considered genuine and stored in stackerswithout connection of validatorto any control host computer.

Intelligent cash box system and method for transmitting code information

A bill handling apparatus is provided that comprises an intelligent cash box system for transmitting information from a validatorto a stackerThe intelligent cash box system comprises a cardbearing a code recorded on the cardfor identifying the bill handling apparatus, and an intelligent storageprovided in the stackerThe cardcan be inserted into an inletof the validatorto detect the code by a detection sensorand store the code in a control circuitas code information. Bill information includes data of the bills received in a storage chamberof the stackerand is transmitted from the control circuitto the intelligent storageThe intelligent storageis in communication with the control circuitof the validatorto receive the code information and bill information from the control meansand store these information in the intelligent storageThe code information identifies the bill handling apparatus from which the stackeris removed, and the bill information enables to collate an amount of collected bills in a plurality of stackerswith an amount of bills considered genuine and stored in the stackers

Bill handling apparatus and method for transmitting code information

A paper sheet handling apparatus, includes: an identifying unitwhich forwards and identifies a paper sheet A that is inserted from an opening portionformed in its front plane; a collecting unitwhich stores the identified paper sheet A; a paying-out unitwhich stores a paying-out paper sheet B to be paid out to the opening portionin a certain case; a forwarding unitwhich forwards the paper sheet A and the paying-out paper sheet B, between each of the identifying unit, the collecting unitand the paying-out unit; an outer framewhich holds each unit of the identifying unitdisposed on its front side, the forwarding unitdisposed on the inner side from it, the collecting unitdisposed below these identifying unitand forwarding unitand on the front side, and the paying-out unitdisposed on the inner side from the collecting unit, in which to the outer frame, at least the collecting unitand the paying-out unitare detachably attached from its front side.

Paper sheet handling apparatus

A method and apparatus for renewing software in a software-controlled machine is provided wherein a sensordetects external command information to shift an operation control circuitfrom an operating mode to a renewal mode, and then detects external operating data on software to store same from the sensorin a program memoryof the renewal mode for easy renewal of the software in accordance with renewal control program. Then, the operation control circuitis shifted from the renewal mode to the operating mode to operate the machine with the renewed operating data.
