Alternatively, a process of depositing a loose coin is performed, or a loose banknote, a banded banknote, a loose coin, a loose banknote processing unit 100, a banded bill processing unit 200, a loose coin processing unit 300, and / or a wrapped coin processing unit 400. And / or perform a process of dispensing wrapped coins. The second accounting unit 22 also stores and manages information on deposits and withdrawals of money related to the second accounting process in the storage unit 55.

  The storage unit 55 stores the log information related to the first accounting process and the log information related to the second accounting process separately and stores the money information related to the money related to the first accounting process. It is stored separately from the money information of the money related to the accounting process of 2. In the following description, the cash information of the money related to the first cash processing is referred to as cash balance information, and the cash information of the money related to the second cash processing is referred to as small cash cash information. May be called.

  Next, control of the teller machine 10 (mainly, control relating to small cash processing) executed by the control unit 20 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7A and 7B. First, in step S71 after the start, the control unit 20 displays a standby screen (not shown) on the terminal 5. In a succeeding step S72, the control unit 20 performs an authentication process. As described above, when the operator performs an operation of causing the card reader of the terminal 5 to read the card information, the control unit 20 reads the card information and authenticates the operator.

  In step S73, the control unit 20 determines whether the authentication result is OK. If the determination in step S73 is YES, the process proceeds to step S75. If the determination in step S73 is NO, the process proceeds to step S74. In step S74, the control unit 20 notifies the operator of the authentication NG via the terminal 5. The process then returns to step S72.

  In step S75, the control unit 20 displays a menu screen on the terminal 5, and allows the operator to select a process to be executed. FIG. 8 illustrates the menu screen D1. The menu screen D1 displays processes that can be selected by the operator. Among the processes displayed on the menu screen D1, “Payment” and “Payment” are “Payment process” and “Payment process” related to the first accounting process. “Small cash” is a process related to the second accounting process (that is, small cash process).

  In step S76, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the small cash processing is selected. When retail cash processing is selected, the process proceeds to step S77 (see FIG. 7B). On the other hand, when the retail cash processing is not selected, the process proceeds to step S715.

  Here, the operator authority will be described. As described above, the accounting machine 10 can execute each of the first accounting process and the second accounting process. The operator authority for performing the first accounting process and the operator authority for performing the second accounting process are set separately. Therefore, even if the operator who has been authenticated by the above-described authentication process does not have the authority to execute the second cash-in / out process, even if “small cash” is selected, the second It is not possible to execute the accounting process. The control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display a screen D2 indicating an authentication error, for example, as illustrated in FIG. The operator who can execute the small cash processing is, for example, a specific person (for example, a site manager) at a station.

  Returning to the flow of FIG. 7A, in step S715, the control unit 20 determines whether a process other than the small cash process has been selected. If the determination in step S715 is YES, the process proceeds to step S716, and if NO, the process ends without proceeding to step S716 (see FIG. 7B). In step S716, the control unit 20 executes a process specified by the operator. The teller machine 10 executes, for example, a deposit process for sales and a dispensing process for change funds, which are related to the first accounting process. When the teller machine 10 executes the first accounting process, the control unit 20 causes the storage unit 55 to store the money amount (balance cash amount) together with log information related to the first accounting process.

  When the operator selects the small cash processing on the menu screen D1, the control unit 20 displays a small cash processing menu screen D3 illustrated in FIG. The menu screen D3 is provided with buttons for "small deposit", "small withdrawal", "small cash tally", and "small cash registered book (re-output). Is a button for performing a deposit processing in the above, and “small dispensing” is a button for performing a dispensing processing in the second accounting processing. "Small cash tally" is a button for performing the tallying process of the second accounting process. "Small cash register (re-output)" is a button for the small cash register created at the tallying process of the second cashing process. Button for re-outputting.

  In step S77 of the flow of FIG. 7B, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the small cash deposit process is selected on the menu screen D3. If the determination in step S77 is YES, the process moves to step S78. If NO, the process moves to step S79.

  In step S78, the control unit 20 executes a small cash depositing process. FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate screens displayed on the terminal 5 during the small cash deposit processing. The cash input screen D4 shown in FIG. 11 is a screen for guiding the operator to input the money to be paid. The operator inserts loose banknotes into the loose banknote processing unit 100 and / or loose coins into the loose coin processing unit 300 according to the guidance on the cash input screen D4. When the operator operates the “start counting” button after the insertion of the money, the loose banknote processing unit 100 into which the loose banknotes are inserted and / or the loose coin processing unit 300 into which the loose coins are inserted, respectively, are the inserted money. Is counted.

  After the counting of the money is completed, the control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display a small plan plane D5 illustrated in FIG. The counting result is displayed on the small planning plane D5. When the operator operates the “Complete” button, the control unit 20 causes the storage unit 55 to store the deposit amount together with the log information of the small cash deposit process. The small cash depositing process of step S78 ends.

  The teller machine 10 stores the money deposited during the small cash deposit processing in the same storage unit without separating it from the money deposited during the first cash processing. On the other hand, the teller machine 10 distinguishes between the money amount of the money related to the small cash processing (small cash amount) and the money amount of the money related to the first cash processing (the cash balance) and stores the money in the storage unit. 55.

  In step S79 of the flow of FIG. 7B, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the small cash dispensing process is selected on the menu screen D3. If the determination in step S79 is YES, the process moves to step S710. If NO, the process moves to step S711.

  In step S710, the control unit 20 executes a small cash dispensing process. FIGS. 13, 14 and 15 illustrate screens displayed on the terminal 5 during the small cash dispensing process. The sub-planning plane D6 shown in FIG. 13 is a screen on which the operator inputs a withdrawal amount. The operator can input the number of denominations of the money to be dispensed on the sub-planning plane D6. In the lower left corner of the sub-planning plane D6, the deposit and withdrawal amount ("small deposit meter" and "small deposit meter") for the day and the balance are displayed. When the operator operates the “Done” button, the control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display a summary selection screen D7.

  FIG. 14 illustrates the summary selection screen D7. The operator can select (input) a summary on the summary selection screen D7. The operator can input a summary by selecting from preset summary candidates, such as “equipment” and “meeting lunch”. When the operator operates the “Done” button, the teller machine 10 performs a dispensing process. That is, the designated amount of money is paid out of the apparatus. FIG. 15 illustrates a cash withdrawal screen D8. The operator takes out the money according to the guidance on the cash withdrawal screen D8. When the removal of the money is completed, the control unit 20 causes the storage unit 55 to store the withdrawal amount and the description together with the log information of the small cash withdrawal process. The small cash dispensing process in step S710 ends.

  The teller machine 10 pays out the money to be dispensed during the small cash dispensing process and the money to be dispensed during the first cash dispensing process from the same storage unit. On the other hand, as described above, the teller machine 10 is configured to control the money amount (small cash amount) related to the small cash processing (second cash processing) and the money amount (balance) according to the first cash processing. (Amount of cash) is stored in the storage unit 55.

  In step S711, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the small cash counting process is selected on the menu screen D3. If the determination in step S711 is YES, the process moves to step S712. If NO, the process moves to step S713.

  In step S712, the control unit 20 executes a small cash counting process. The small cash summarization process is a process of summing up the deposits and withdrawals of small cash processed within a period designated by the operator. FIGS. 16 and 17 illustrate screens displayed on the terminal 5 during the small cash counting process. The aggregation range setting screen D9 shown in FIG. 16 is a screen for setting a period during which the operator performs aggregation. The operator can arbitrarily set the counting period, such as daily, weekly, and monthly. When the operator operates the “confirm” button, the control unit 20 performs the totalization based on the log information of the small cash processing stored in the storage unit 55. Then, the control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display the tally result screen D10 (that is, outputs the tally result).

  FIG. 17 illustrates an example of the counting result screen D10. In the tallying result screen D10, the reception (that is, payment) and the payment (that is, payment) in the designated period are described in order of date. The summary on the summary result screen D10 is the summary selected by the operator on the summary selection screen D7 described above. Further, the breakdown (subject) is described in the tabulation result screen D10. The storage unit 55 stores the summary selected in the summary selection screen D7 and the subject in association with each other, and the control unit 20 stores the correspondence information stored in the storage unit 55 at the time of counting the small cash processing. Add breakdown information based on that.

  The small cash summarization process is often executed in accordance with the small cash accounting process of a facility using the money handling system 1. In other words, small cash is calculated on a monthly basis, and at the end of the month or at the beginning of the month, the total cash used in one month is totaled, and the same amount of cash is supplied for the next month (that is, payment). I do.

  Therefore, in the small cash counting process, the control unit 20 carries over the next month based on the predetermined limit of the small cash in one month and the total amount of the small cash used in the current month (“total”). The money (“carried over next month”, “carried over the previous month”) and the replenishment money for the next month (“supply today”) are calculated, and these amounts are also displayed on the tallying result screen D10.

  The control unit 20 also causes the first printer 53 and the second printer 54 to print the tally result based on the operation of the operator. The operator can print the tally result by operating the “receipt print” and “form print” buttons at the upper right of the tally result screen D10.

  FIG. 18 illustrates a counting result of printing by the first printer 53, that is, a small cash registered book P1. The operator can cause the first printer 53 to print the small cash registered book P1 by operating the “print form” button on the upper right of the tabulation result screen D10. The small cash registered book P1 has substantially the same configuration as the counting result displayed on the counting result screen D10. Specifically, the small cash registered book P1 describes the date, the amount received (that is, the amount of payment), the amount of payment (that is, the amount of withdrawal), the summary, and the breakdown. The total payment amount is indicated. In addition, the carry-on bookkeeping book P1 includes the carry over to the next month (that is, the amount obtained by subtracting the total amount of payment from the receipt), the carry over to the previous month (the same as carry over to the next month), and the replenishment today (the same as the total amount paid). Each is listed.

  The operator (in other words, the person in charge of managing the small cash register) reads the small cash registered book P1 to the other system 70 through the management computer 71 or the tablet terminal 72 or the smart phone 73 to the small cash registered mail. The contents of the book P1 are input. In other words, the operator manually inputs the contents of the small cash registered book P1.

  Note that instead of the operator manually inputting the contents of the small cash registered book P1, the cashier 10 transmits the totaled result of the small cash processing to another system 70 via the management computer 71. Alternatively, the teller machine 10 may directly transmit data to another system 70 without going through the management computer 71.

  FIG. 19 exemplifies a counting result for printing by the second printer 54. The second printer 54 prints a receipt P2, which is a simplified version of the small cash registered book P1, by operating the “receipt print” button on the upper right of the tabulation result screen D10. The convenience of the operator is improved because two kinds of outputs of the summary result of the small cash are prepared.

  As described above, replenishment is performed in the small cash processing. The operator can supply small cash using the above-described small cash deposit processing, and the operator can also supply small cash without performing cash deposit processing.

  As described above, the teller machine 10 stores the money deposited and withdrawn at the time of the first accounting processing and the currency deposited and withdrawn at the time of the second cashing processing (that is, small cash processing) in the same storage section, and stores the same storage section. From. The teller machine 10 does not distinguish between the storage unit used in the first accounting process and the storage unit used in the second accounting process. On the other hand, the teller machine 10 discriminates between the money amount of the money related to the first cashing process (income cash balance) and the money amount of the money related to the small cash process (small cash amount) and stores the money. This is stored in the unit 55.

  Therefore, as conceptually shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 20 of the cashier 10 adds the replenishment amount to the small cash amount before replenishment stored in the storage unit 55, while the storage unit 55 The supply amount is subtracted from the pre-supply balance cash balance stored by. The control unit 20 moves the money information of the replenishment from the cash balance to the small cash balance in the money amount data stored in the storage unit 55 so that the cash deposit processing is not performed. , Can supply small cash. Since the operator does not manage cash, the burden on the operator can be reduced.

  The cashier 10 can switch between the first cashier processing and the second cashier processing (that is, small cash processing) according to the operator's selection and execute the same. Since it is not necessary to use a conventional cash box for storing cash and a ledger for recording cash balance, it is possible to reduce the burden on a person who manages small cash. In addition, management errors caused by manual operations can be reduced as much as possible, and management of small cash can be optimized.

  In addition, since the storage units are not divided corresponding to the first accounting process and the second accounting process, the accounting machine 10 becomes compact and the configuration of the accounting machine 10 is simplified.

  Furthermore, by distinguishing between the authority for performing the first accounting process and the authority for performing the second accounting process, the management of the two types of accounting processes using the accounting machine 10 can be appropriately performed. It can be carried out.

  In addition, the teller machine 10 performs the tallying of the small cash processing (the second tallying processing) and outputs the tally result, so that the operator can easily and appropriately manage the second tallying processing. Can be.

  In the second accounting process, the teller machine 10 pre-determines a near empty value with respect to the amount of small cash, and notifies the operator when the amount falls below the near empty value, The operator may be prompted to supply. In other words, even if the storage unit in the teller machine 10 has stored enough money, the teller machine 10 may issue a notification that prompts replenishment based on the amount of small cash.

  In addition, the teller machine 10 makes the form of the screen displayed on the terminal 5 when executing the first cashier processing different from the form of the screen displayed on the terminal 5 when executing the second cashier processing. Is also good. Specifically, during the execution of the second cashier processing (that is, small cash processing), the word “small cash processing” is displayed on the screen, and the first cashier processing and the second cashier processing are performed. The background color of the screen and the color of the frame may be changed. By doing so, the operator can recognize at a glance whether the first accounting process is being performed or the second accounting process is being performed, and an operator's operation error can be prevented. .

  Moreover, the teller machine 10 may be configured so that the upper limit of the amount of money that can be processed in the first accounting process and the upper limit of the amount of money that can be processed in the second accounting process can be individually set. For example, in the second accounting process (small cash processing), the upper limit is set to 300,000 yen, and the amount that can be processed is set to 300,000 yen or less, while in the first accounting process, the upper limit is set to more than 300,000 yen. (For example, 10 million yen). Further, for example, in the first accounting process, the amount that can be processed may be limited based on the free space of the storage unit or the amount of money, instead of setting the upper limit. By doing so, it is possible to suppress operation errors and fraud.

(Distribution of contact information)
The storage unit 55 of the teller machine 10 stores information related to the authority of the operator who uses the teller machine 10 (that is, the person in charge information). As described above, the teller machine 10 executes a process permitted by the operator based on the result of the authentication performed by the operator using the ID card and the authority information stored in the storage unit 55. I do.

  As conceptually shown in FIG. 21, the storage unit 55 of the teller machine 10 is configured such that a part of the storage area of the clerk information is the clerk information obtained when a predetermined operator manually inputs the clerk information on the teller machine 10. Is the area where the management computer 71 stores the person in charge information distributed to the teller machine 10 via the network. The management computer 71 distributes the person in charge information to the teller machine 10, for example, periodically. The teller machine 10 updates the clerk information stored in the storage unit 55 based on the distributed clerk information. The person in charge information includes an operator ID, an operator name, and authority.

  Here, when the clerk information is distributed, the control unit 20 of the teller machine 10 does not always update the clerk information stored in the storage unit 55, but distributes the clerk information as shown in FIG. The handling of the contact information is changed according to the assigned contact information.

  Specifically, when the operator ID obtained by the distribution does not exist in the clerk information of the teller machine 10, the control unit 20 determines that the operator ID is information of a new clerk and newly assigns the clerk information to the distribution area. Add to

  The control unit 20 determines that the operator ID of the acquired person information is the same as the operator ID of the person information stored in the storage unit 55, while the operator name of the acquired person information is stored in the storage unit 55. When the operator name of the contact information stored in the storage unit 55 is different from the operator name, the control unit 20 gives priority to the distributed contact information and the control unit 20 replaces the contact information stored in the storage unit 55 with It is overwritten with the distributed person in charge information and stored in the storage unit 55.

  The control unit 20 determines that the acquired operator information of the person in charge has the same operator ID as the operator ID of the person in charge stored in the storage unit 55, When the authority of the stored clerk information is different, the distributed clerk information is prioritized, and the control unit 20 replaces the clerk information stored in the storage unit 55 with the distributed clerk information. Is rewritten into the user information and stored in the storage unit 55.

  When the same person information is stored in the manual input area of the storage unit 55 (however, the authority of the obtained person information and the manual input The authority of the clerk information stored in the area is the same), the clerk information in the manual input area is deleted, and the distributed clerk information is stored in the distribution area of the storage unit 55.

  The control unit 20 determines that the operator ID of the acquired person information is the same as the operator ID of the person information stored in the manual input area of the storage unit 55, while the authority of the acquired person information is When the authority of the clerk information stored in the manual input area of the storage unit 55 is different, the control unit 20 does not automatically update the clerk information and determines whether the clerk information can be updated. Is selected by the operator. The control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display, for example, an update confirmation screen D11 illustrated in FIG. This corresponds to a message display. The operator can select whether to update the clerk information. For example, after the clerk operates the teller machine 10 to update the clerk information in the manual input area, the clerk information that does not reflect the manually updated information is distributed from the management computer 71 to the teller machine 10. Can happen. Rather than automatically updating the person in charge information stored in the storage unit 55 to the distributed information, the operator can select whether or not to update the person in charge information, thereby improving convenience. it can.

  When the number of the acquired clerk information exceeds the capacity of the distribution area of the storage unit 55, the control unit 20 does not automatically update the clerk information. The operator is allowed to select whether or not to update. The control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display, for example, an update confirmation screen D11 illustrated in FIG. When the operator selects not to update, the person in charge information stored in the distribution area of the storage unit 55 is not updated and remains unchanged. On the other hand, when the operator selects to update, the control unit 20 updates the staff information stored in the distribution area of the storage unit 55 and updates the staff information exceeding the capacity of the distribution area, The first printer 53 or the second printer 54 outputs the “unloaded list”. The operator can manually input the person in charge information into the manual input area based on the output “unloaded list”.

  When the acquired person in charge information is zero, the control unit 20 displays on the terminal 5 that the delivered person in charge information is zero, although not shown. At this time, the person in charge information stored in the storage unit 55 is not updated.

  The control unit 20 stores the person in charge information in the storage unit 55, but stores the person in charge information when the acquired person in charge information does not include the person in charge information. Clear contact information.

  Based on the clerk information distributed from the management computer 71, the clerk information stored in the storage unit 55 of the teller machine 10 is not always updated automatically, but the operator selects whether or not to update. By making it possible, the person in charge information can be appropriately maintained, so that the convenience can be improved.

(Recovery processing of cashier)
When performing the tightening process in the money handling system 1, a collection process of paying out at least a part of the money stored in the cashier 10 to the outside of the cashier 10 is performed.

  Specifically, in the collection process, the moneys are collected in the order shown in FIG. 24, and the money corresponding to the set collection amount is paid out of the cashier 10. The first item in the collection order is a post unit (not shown) in which money, such as an unfit note, that cannot be processed by the cashier 10 is stored. The person in charge collects money by hand from the post section. The second in the collection order is the collective band sealed banknote storage cassette 231. As described above, the person in charge removes the bundled banded banknote storage cassette 231 from the housing 202 and manually collects the bundled bills in the banded banknote storage cassette 231. The third item in the collection order is a packaged coin box 460. The person in charge removes the packaged coin box 460 from the housing 402 and collects the packaged coins in the packaged coin box 460 by hand as described above. The fourth item in the collection order is a collective coin storage 340. The person in charge removes the lump coin storage 340 from the housing 302 and collects loose coins in the lump coin storage 340 by hand as described above. The post portion, the bundled banknote storage cassette 231, the packaged coin box 460, and the packaged coin storage 340 all store money that cannot be withdrawn from the teller machine 10 as a change reserve. In addition, the bundled banknote storage cassette 231, the packaged coin box 460, and the packaged coin storage 340 are storage units configured to be detachable from the housing.

  The fifth item in the collection order is a fixed storage unit that cannot be removed from the housing. Specifically, the fixed storage unit is a denominated banknote storage bin 142 of the loose banknote processing unit 100, a denomination band sealed banknote storage cassette 230 of the band-sealed banknote processing unit 200, a denomination coin storage bin 342 of the loose coin processing unit 300, and It is a denomination-type wrapped coin storage 450 of the wrapped coin processing unit 400. The bills or coins (loose bills or bundled bills, or loose coins or wrapped coins) fed from these fixed storage portions are counted and then paid out of the apparatus. Thus, the operator can collect money from the teller machine 10 for the designated collection amount.

  Here, consider a case where an error or the like occurs in the teller machine 10 and the amount of money of the teller machine 10 becomes indefinite. When the cash amount of the teller machine 10 becomes indefinite, the teller machine 10 prohibits removal of the above-described collective band sealed banknote storage cassette 231, the packaged coin collective box 460, and the collective coin storage box 340 from the housing. It is configured. In order to eliminate the indefinite amount of money of the teller machine 10, it is necessary to collect at least all the money stored in the processing part of the indefinite amount of money or recount all the money. Executing such processing takes a long time.

  It takes time to resolve the indefinite amount of money, but if the amount of money remains indefinite, the bundled band sealed banknote cassette 231, the packaged coin box 460, and the packaged coin storage 340 are removed from the housing. 24, the money cannot be collected in the order shown in FIG.

  Therefore, when it is not possible to collect money from the bundled banknote storage cassette 231, the packaged coin box 460, and / or the packaged coin storage 340, due to the indefinite amount of money, the cashier 10 stores those banknotes. The same amount of money as the money collected from the storage unit is collected from the fixed storage unit (that is, alternative collection). Specifically, when it is not possible to collect the bundled banknotes from the collective band sealed banknote storage cassette 231, the control unit 20 performs alternative collection using loose banknotes from the denominated banknote storage 142 of the loose banknote processing unit 100. In addition, when coins cannot be collected from the packaged coin box 460 and / or the package coin storage 340, the control unit 20 uses the loose coins from the denominated coin storage 342 of the loose coin processing unit 300. Perform alternative collection. In the alternative collection, the counting is performed at the time of dispensing, so that the cashier 10 can quickly complete the collection process even if the cash amount remains undetermined. As a result, the tightening process can be completed promptly.

  In addition, when the remaining amount is undetermined in both the loose banknote processing unit 100 and the band sealed banknote processing unit 200 and the alternative collection cannot be performed, the control unit 20 causes the terminal 5 to display an error message.

  In addition, currency that could not be collected from the collective band sealed banknote storage cassette 231, the packaged coin collective box 460, and / or the collective coin storage 340 may be collected by the full collection process after the completion of the tightening process. Good.

(Automatic calculation of collected money)
When executing the above-described collection processing, the money may be collected so that the money required as a change reserve remains in the cashier 10 (remaining collection).

  In the conventional teller machine, the operator has set the number of each denomination to be collected. Specifically, at the time of collection processing, the teller machine (1) the total amount of income for the day, (2) the number of cards that can be collected for each denomination, and (3) the unit (post section) that cannot collect and collect , The bundled banknote storage cassette 231, the packaged coin box 460, and the number of coins that are required to be collected in the packaged coin storage box 340) are displayed on the terminal. All denominations (thousands, two thousand, five, one) that cannot be used as change so that the amount after deducting 3) becomes zero, do not exceed the number of recoverable items in (2), and are collected The number of each denomination was set. This places a heavy burden on the operator.

  On the other hand, the above-mentioned teller machine 10 is configured to automatically calculate the number of collections by denomination at the time of collection processing. FIG. 25 illustrates a detailed screen D12 displayed on the terminal 5 by the control unit 20 during the collection process. This screen is a screen on which the automatically calculated number of collected money of each denomination is displayed and an operator can correct the number of collected money of each denomination.

  On the screen D12, the total amount of income for the day corresponding to the collection amount is described, and the number of units that can be collected (recoverable amount of money) for each denomination and the unit that cannot be counted and collected are displayed. The number of sheets that need to be collected because they are stored (“post + batch”) is described. When the operator operates the button of “automatic calculation”, the control unit 20 automatically calculates the number of collected money for each denomination, and displays the number of money for each denomination in the column of “input of collection details”. As a result, the burden on the operator can be reduced, and work efficiency can be improved.

  The control unit 20 calculates the number of sheets for each denomination according to a predetermined calculation algorithm. As described above, the calculation algorithm is set so that all denominations (10,000, 2,000, 5, 1) that cannot be used as change are collected, and the number of collected coins is minimized. , It is set to preferentially collect from high value denominations.

  As described above, the operator manually corrects the number of sheets for each denomination (that is, the automatically calculated number of denominations) for each denomination described in the “collection description input” on the statement screen D12. Can be. By doing so, the operator can appropriately adjust the number of coins to be left in the teller machine 10 for each denomination. Note that the above-described calculation algorithm may include a setting that takes into account the remaining number of sheets for each denomination. Then, the burden on the operator can be further reduced.

(Display of withdrawal pattern)
For example, when performing the dispensing process of the change reserve, in many cases, dispensing is performed according to a predetermined dispensing pattern (that is, the number of dispensed by denomination). The operator can register a plurality of predetermined withdrawal patterns in the teller machine 10. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 26, a “pattern” button is provided at the upper right of the screens D13 and D14 displayed on the terminal 5 during the dispensing process. When the operator operates a “pattern” button, a dispensing pattern registered in advance is displayed as an overlay.

  Here, the dispensing patterns are displayed in a list in a row, but due to the display space, all registered dispensing patterns cannot be displayed at once, and by scrolling, all of the dispensing patterns are displayed. Can be displayed. In the conventional teller machines, the display order of withdrawal patterns is fixed in the order of registration of withdrawal patterns, but in this case, frequently used withdrawal patterns may not be displayed on the screen unless scrolling There is room for improving convenience.

  On the other hand, the teller machine 10 is configured to change the display order of the dispensing patterns in accordance with a predetermined rule. The control unit 20 displays the dispensing patterns arranged in descending order of frequency of use, for example. By doing so, the withdrawal pattern that is frequently used can be displayed without scrolling, and the convenience for the operator is enhanced.

  The usage frequency may be stored, for example, for each operator by taking statistics of the usage frequency, and changing the display order based on the usage frequency of the operator specified based on the authentication data. Further, for example, statistics of the frequency of use may be obtained for each time zone, and the display order may be changed based on the time zone in which the withdrawal processing is to be performed.

  When the operator operates the “pattern” button to display a previously registered withdrawal pattern, the most frequently used registered pattern may be selected in advance. .

  Further, based on the data of the withdrawal process performed in the past, when there is a withdrawal pattern that is not registered as a registration pattern but is frequently used, when the operator operates the “pattern” button, Alternatively, an unregistered withdrawal pattern that is frequently used may be displayed together with the registered pattern. In addition, such a frequently used non-registered withdrawal pattern may be registered automatically or by an operator's operation.

  When the operator selects any of the patterns on the screen D13, the withdrawal amount or the like corresponding to the selected pattern is automatically input on the withdrawal sub-planning plane D14.
