WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/077754

A8

The invention refers to a method for reducing or eliminating the risk of robbery/theft, for example during transportation of banknotes or storage of banknotes, by scanning banknotes (2) prior to transport/storage and also scanning them at the reception and by verifying banknotes (2) when they are tried to be used for circulation, including, among other things reading devices/banknote scanners (17a-c) for banknote identification. The invention is achieved by the following method steps: before/during a transport from, or storage at the sender (3); registering/reading/imaging of a banknote (2) that is intended to be locked; determination the bank note (2) identity, to a so-called Banknote-ID; registering/generation of auxiliary information (T1) at the sender (3); generation of a locking/blocking request (9a) comprising at least one banknote identity and auxiliary information (T1); transfer of this locking request (9a) to a central server (5) and/or a local memory (25a), whereby the banknote (2) is indicated as locked in the central server (5), after receiving the transport/storage at the receiver (4); registering/reading/imaging of a banknote (2) that is intended to be locked/relocked; determination the banknote (2) identity to a so-called Banknote-ID; registering/generation of auxiliary information (T2) at the receiver (4); generating a unlocking-/relocking request (9b-c) comprising at least one banknote (2) identity and auxiliary information (T2); transfer of this unlocking-/relocking request (9b-c) to a central server (5) and/or to a local memory (25b); checking that the auxiliary information (T2) from the receiver (4) fulfill the conditions (UV1) set in the auxiliary information (T1) from the sender (3) and/or the predetermined conditions (UV1) stored in the central server (5), and if so, the unlocking-/relocking request (9b-c) is performed in the central server (5), attempting to circulate a banknote (2) at a turnover spot where banknotes are handled/circulated (6); registering/reading/imaging the banknote (2) that is under way of circulation; determine the banknote (2) identity, to a so-called Banknote-ID; requesting to a local memory unit (25c) and/or the central server (5) if the present banknote (2) is blocked or tradeable; shedding an indication, alarm and/or activation of a blocking device (29a-b) that prevents acceptance/circulation of the banknote (2) when the response to the request means that referenced banknote (2) is non tradeable. The invention also refers to a system for implementing the above mentioned method.
