Abstract

A cash distribution method, a cash distribution apparatus and a financial self-service device. The cash distribution method comprises: suspending cash dispensing in case of abnormality when cash is dispensed from a mixed cash box; acquiring the balance of cash dispensed according to the cash distribution limit and the total dispensed cash; continuing cash distribution for the balance of cash dispensed to obtain a continuous cash dispensing result; and continuing to dispense cash according to the continuous cash dispensing result. The technical problems in existing cash distribution technology that increasing wear on hardware of a machine core increases the maintenance cost and consumes a lot of time, reducing the cash dispensing efficiency, can be solved.

Claims

1. A banknote dispensing method, comprising:

suspending a banknote outputting from a mixed banknote box in a case that the banknote outputting becomes abnormal;

acquiring a banknote outputting balance according to a banknote dispensing limit and a total amount of outputted banknotes;

continuing the banknote dispensing according to the banknote outputting balance to obtain a continued banknote dispensing result; and

continuing to output banknotes according to the continued banknote dispensing result.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the continuing the banknote dispensing according to the banknote outputting balance to obtain a continued banknote dispensing result comprises:

continuing the banknote dispensing according to the banknote outputting balance;

determining whether the banknote dispensing is successful;

obtaining the continued banknote dispensing result in case of a positive determination;

or executing a preset operation in case of negative determination.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the executing a preset operation comprises:

transferring one outputted banknote; and

returning to the step of acquiring the banknote outputting balance according to the banknote dispensing limit and a total amount of outputted banknotes.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein after the acquiring the banknote outputting balance according to the banknote dispensing limit and a total amount of outputted banknotes, the method further comprises:

determining whether the banknote outputting balance is less than the banknote dispensing limit; and

going to the step of continuing the banknote dispensing according to the banknote outputting balance in case of positive determination, or redispensing banknotes according to the banknote dispensing limit in case of negative determination.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein before the redispensing banknotes according to the banknote dispensing limit, the method further comprises:

recycling all outputted banknotes.

6. A banknote dispensing apparatus, comprising:

a banknote outputting suspending module, configured to suspend a banknote outputting in a case that the banknote outputting from a mixed banknote box becomes abnormal;

a balance acquiring module, configured to acquire a banknote outputting balance according to a banknote dispensing limit and a total amount of outputted banknotes;

a continued banknote dispensing module, configured to continue banknote dispensing according to the banknote outputting balance to obtain a continued banknote dispensing result; and

a continued banknote outputting module, configured to continue to output banknotes according to the continued banknote dispensing result.

7. The banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the continued banknote dispensing module specifically comprises:

a banknote dispensing unit, configured to continue the banknote dispensing according to the banknote outputting balance;

a determining unit, configured to determine whether the banknote dispensing by the banknote dispensing unit is successful;

an obtaining unit, configured to obtain a continued banknote dispensing result if the determining unit determines that the banknote dispensing is successful; and

an executing unit, configured to execute a preset operation if the determining unit determines that the banknote dispensing is failed.

8. The banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the executing unit specifically comprises:

a transferring subunit, configured to transfer one outputted banknote if the determining unit determines that the banknote dispensing is failed; and

a returning subunit, configured to return to trigger the balance acquiring module after an execution of the transferring subunit.

9. The banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising:

a balance determining module, configured to determine whether the banknote outputting balance is less than the banknote dispensing limit;

a first triggering module, configured to trigger the continued banknote dispensing module if the balance determining module determines that the banknote outputting balance is less than the banknote dispensing limit;

a recycling module, configured to recycle all outputted banknotes if the balance determining module determines that the banknote outputting balance is not less than the banknote dispensing limit; and

a redispensing module, configured to redispense banknotes according to the banknote dispensing limit after an execution of the recycling module.

10. A financial self-service device, comprising a plurality of mixed banknote boxes, which are configured for storing banknotes of a plurality of denominations mixedly and accessing the banknotes in a stack manner, wherein the financial self-service device further comprises the banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 6.

11. A financial self-service device, comprising a plurality of mixed banknote boxes, which are configured for storing banknotes of a plurality of denominations mixedly and accessing the banknotes in a stack manner, wherein the financial self-service device further comprises the banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 7.

12. A financial self-service device, comprising a plurality of mixed banknote boxes, which are configured for storing banknotes of a plurality of denominations mixedly and accessing the banknotes in a stack manner, wherein the financial self-service device further comprises the banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 8.

13. A financial self-service device, comprising a plurality of mixed banknote boxes, which are configured for storing banknotes of a plurality of denominations mixedly and accessing the banknotes in a stack manner, wherein the financial self-service device further comprises the banknote dispensing apparatus according to claim 9.
