The present specification describes to a self-service payment device and a control method thereof. One example method includes determining that a removable cover plate is in a first state, wherein the removable cover plate and a payment box form an enclosed space when the removable cover plate is in the first state, and the top of the payment box is open when the removable cover plate is in a second state; reading, using at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna fastened to at least one inner wall of the payment box, at least one RFID tag, wherein each RFID tag is associated with a merchandise to be paid inside the payment box; and providing payment information based on the at least one RFID tag.

An electronic cash deposit system includes a processor that receives a user-generated request for a deposit of cash into an account, receive data generated from a scan of a machine-readable image on a receptacle that receives the cash, perform a validation of the deposit of the cash based on a correlation between the data generated from the scan and a transaction key, generate confirmation of the deposit of the cash when the validation is confirmed, and send a notification to a banking system to update the account to reflect the deposit of the cash in response to the confirmation being generated.

In a money handling system (10), a storage cassette (40) is detachably mounted to each of a money change machine (20) and a money depositing/dispensing machine (30) (money handling machine). A determination unit (51) is provided for determining whether or not money has been sent into the money depositing/dispensing machine (30) from all the storage cassettes (40) to which money has been sent from the money change machine (20) when a plurality of the storage cassettes (40) are used in a collection process.

A dispenser of feminine pads and tampons activated by a touch sensor. The touch of a person's hand will close an electronic circuit causing a motor to rotate. The motor is attached to a shaft which rotates. The shaft retains a feminine product dispenser. The feminine product dispenser transports a feminine napkin or tampon to a retrieval tray. The improved design enables the sanitary napkin rack and tampon rack to be adjacent to each other, thereby reducing the width requirements for the cabinet housing the racks. The activation by touch screen significantly improves the selection and dispensing of the desired feminine napkin product and tampon product.

A vault defines a cavity wherein openings define the vault and are open into the cavity. A token box is disposed within the cavity of the vault. A cover feature has a shell and a base. The base is slidably coupled to the vault to transition between a first position and a second position. The shell is hingedly coupled to the base to hinge between a covering position and a servicing position when the base is in the second position.

A collection apparatus for organizing paper-based transaction items collected at a store checkout comprises a housing including a front section, rear section, left side, right side, top region, and bottom region; and an interior of the housing that is constructed and arranged into three regions. Each region includes a cavity; a removable container positioned in each cavity; three slot-shaped openings in the front section. Each slot-shaped opening is aligned with an opening in a removable container for providing a path for the paper-based transaction items to the removable container. A sensor in each cavity or container senses the paper-based transaction items received via a slot-shaped opening into the container.
