Apparatus and method of maintaining and repairing banknote validator using a network
First Claim
1. An apparatus for maintaining and/or repairing a banknote validator, the apparatus comprising:
- a banknote validator comprising a plurality of sensors configured to count banknotes and determine genuineness and fitness of the banknotes;
a wired or wireless network connection unit comprising a predetermined smart device or web adjuster configured to relay or transmit one or more first data items and software, the first data items and software updating, maintaining and/or repairing the banknote validator and including security information and threshold values of the sensors or parameter values for counting the banknotes and determining the genuineness and the fitness of the banknotes; and
a server configured to receive one or more second data items and software version information from the banknote validator, optimize the threshold values of the sensors or the parameter values for counting the banknotes and determining the genuineness and the fitness of the banknotes in the banknote validator, and optionally transmit optimized maintenance and/or repair results to the banknote validator to maintain and/or repair the banknote validator through the wired or wireless network connection unit, wherein the second data items include internal set information of the banknote validator, banknote images, counting data, genuineness determination data, and fitness determination data.

18. A method of maintaining, repairing and optimizing a banknote validator comprising a plurality of sensors using a network, the method comprising:
-
connecting the banknote validator to the Internet; automatically connecting the banknote validator to a server; transmitting various data items and software version information of the banknote validator to the server, wherein the various data items include internal set information of the banknote validator, banknote images, counting data, genuineness determination data, and fitness determination data; classifying the various data items and storing the various data items in a banknote database (DB) using the server; searching or analyzing the various data items in the banknote DB to update optimization information; maintaining and/or repairing the banknote validator by relaying or transmitting one or more items of the optimization information and software through a predetermined smart device or web adjuster, the items of the optimization information and software including security information and threshold values of the sensors or parameter values for counting the banknotes and determining genuineness and fitness of the banknotes; and optimizing the threshold values of the sensors or the parameter values for counting the banknotes and determining the genuineness and the fitness of the banknotes in the banknote validator using the updated optimization information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
