Cash box and automated teller machine
First Claim
1. A cash box which in mechanical and communication terms is configured for installation in and automated teller machine, comprisinga storage module which is configured for storing a number of banknotes,an internal control device arranged in the cash box for controlling the cash box, anda transceiver which is coupled to the internal control device and is formed to wirelessly transmit data to a communications interface of an external control unit disposed outside the cash box and to receive data from the same,wherein the transceiver is formed to:
- transmit and receive the data according to the Near-Field-Communication transmission standard;
receive an external high-frequency signal according to the Near-Field-Communication transmission standard;
convert the received high-frequency signal into a first charging current; and
provide the first charging current for energy supply; and
wherein the cash box further includes an internal transformer means which is formed to convert an external electromagnetic field into a second charging current and to supply the same to an energy storage unit of the cash box,wherein the external electromagnetic field that is converted into a second charging current is not according to the Near-Field-Communication transmission standard, andwherein the internal control device includes a filling level sensor which is formed to detect a filling level of the energy storage unit, a current amount of banknotes stored in the cash box or a filling level of an invalidating means of the cash box, andwherein the internal control device comprises a rewritable data memory which is formed to store received data or data to be transmitted, andwherein the internal control device can be programmed via a communications interface of the automated teller machine when the storage module is disposed in the automated teller machine and the internal control device can be programmed via a mobile terminal when the storage module is disposed out of the automated teller machine.
