Abstract:
A modular valuable media recycling device is presented. The valuable media recycling device includes a media infeed module, a validator module, an escrow module, a plurality of media feeder/stacking modules, and a plurality of cassette modules. When a module handles a valuable media item along a media transport path, the module's identifier and security information are passed as a message to a next module that is to handle the media item in a processing path for the media item. Each module independently validates the authenticity of the message received from a previous module. The number of media feeder/stacking modules and cassette modules are scalable based on the transaction terminal that the modular valuable media recycling device is integrated into.

Claim (Index 19):
A modular recycling device, comprising:\n an intranet configured to provide communications in a self-contained network within the modular recycling device, wherein the intranet includes media handling modules connected to the intranet within the modular recycling device, each media handling module representing an independent processing node within the module recycling device; and the media handling modules configured to: i) generate some of the communications, ii) verify other of the communications, iii) activate electromechanical components to handle media items being processed through the modular recycling device, and iv) cooperate and collaborate to process processing the media items for transactions being performed on a transaction terminal with modular-recycling device level communications that are the communications over the intranet within the self-contained network.
