Smart ATM cassette
Systems and methods are disclosed for a smart automated teller machine cassette. One cassette system includes a housing that defines an interior of the cassette, and that is configured to house a plurality of currency notes, a camera sensor configured to capture at least one image of each note of the plurality of currency notes, and a first module configured to determine a cassette status based on feature data determined from the at least one image of each note of the plurality of currency notes.
1 . A removable cassette comprising:
a housing that defines an interior of the cassette, and that is configured to house a plurality of currency notes;
a user interface on an exterior of the housing, the user interface receiving input from a user and configured to display information to the user;
a camera sensor configured to automatically activate and capture at least one image of each note of the plurality of currency notes, the camera sensor automatically activated based on a triggering event related to light sensitivity; and
a processor configured to determine a cassette status based on feature data determined from the at least one image of each note of the plurality of currency notes.
2 . The cassette of claim 1 , wherein the feature data of each note includes at least one of a denomination, a currency, or a date and time stamp.
3 . The cassette of claim 2 , wherein the feature data includes, for the plurality of currency notes, at least one of a note count for the denomination or a total amount value of the currency.
4 . The cassette of claim 1 , wherein capturing the at least one image of each note of the plurality of currency notes occurs when the currency notes pass in front of the camera sensor when dispensing or loading currency notes.
5 . The cassette of claim 1 , further comprising a memory chip with wireless functionality.
6 . The cassette of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit, via the memory chip, at least one of the cassette status or the feature data to an automated teller machine (ATM) associated with the cassette.
7 . The cassette of claim 1 , wherein the user interface on the exterior of the housing displays a cassette status.
8 . The cassette of claim 1 , further comprising a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip.
9 . The cassette of claim 1 , further comprising a first position and a second position, wherein the first position includes aligning a cavity in a position to dispense the currency notes in an automated teller machine, and wherein the second position includes the cavity accessible to receive the currency notes.
10 . The cassette of claim 1 , wherein the cassette is configured to slide in and out of an automated teller machine (ATM).
11 . A method for operating a removable cassette comprising:
detecting a triggering event based on movement of the cassette;
capturing, via a camera sensor that is automatically activated based on the triggering event, at least one image of each note of a plurality of currency notes housed within a housing that defines an interior of the cassette;
determining, via a processor, a cassette status based on feature data determined from the at least one image of each notes of the plurality of currency notes; and
displaying, via a user interface of the cassette, a cassette status.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the feature data of each note includes at least one of a denomination, a currency, or a date and time stamp.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the feature data includes, for the plurality of currency notes, at least one of a note count for the denomination or a total amount value of the currency.
14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
transmitting the cassette status to an automated teller machine (ATM) associated with the cassette.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising storing the cassette status on a memory chip with wireless functionality, the memory chip associated with the cassette.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the capturing at least one image of each of a plurality of currency occurs when each note of the plurality of currency notes moves in front of the camera sensor.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the determining a cassette status further comprises using a trained machine learning model to infer a cassette status based on the feature data determined from the at least one image of the plurality of currency.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained by:
receiving, as training data, a plurality of images of a plurality of currency and a plurality of feature data associated with the plurality of currency; and
training a machine learning model, using the training data, to infer the cassette status.
19 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
outputting the cassette status via one or more of an application programming interface external to the housing, a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with an automated teller machine (ATM), or a GUI associated with a user device.
20 . A removable cassette comprising:
a housing that defines an interior of the cassette, and that is configured to house a plurality of currency notes;
a drawer that is able to be arranged into a first position and a second position, wherein the first position includes aligning a cavity in a position to dispense the currency notes in an automated teller machine, and wherein the second position includes the cavity accessible to receive the currency notes;
a memory chip with wireless functionality;
a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip;
a camera configured to automatically activate and capture at least one image of each of the plurality of currency, the camera automatically activated based on a lid of the drawer being opened;
a user interface on an exterior of the housing, the user interface receiving input from a user and configured to display information to the user; and
a processor configured to determine a cassette status based on feature data determined from the at least one image of each note of the plurality of currency notes.
