The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems in conventional automatic cash transaction systems, to more efficiently perform banknote replenishment operations, and to at least To provide an automatic cash transaction system capable of replenishing banknotes to the extent necessary for withdrawal transactions and preventing a situation in which withdrawal transactions become impossible.

Means for Solving Problem C] The above object of the present invention is to provide a means for detecting the remaining amount in a banknote storage box for each denomination in an automatic teller machine that uses deposited banknotes for withdrawal. Check the remaining amount of the banknote storage box at the end of the transaction, and if replenishment is necessary, start replenishing the banknote storage box for each denomination with banknotes, and if the next transaction is started during replenishment. , input data processing of the transaction;
This is achieved by an automatic cash transaction system characterized in that the replenishment continues until the communication with the center ends and the banknote deposit/disbursement mechanism is activated.

[Effect]

In the present invention, the control unit of the automatic teller machine monitors the flow of transaction processing and the banknote replenishment operation, and continues the banknote replenishment operation until the banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism is activated by the transaction. .

This makes it possible to perform banknote replenishment operations from the end of one transaction to the start of the next transaction and the activation of the banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism, even when transactions are performed continuously. , there will be no shortage of banknotes to be withdrawn.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a banknote conveyance mechanism section of a recycle type automatic teller machine which is an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a deposit/withdrawal port for depositing and withdrawing banknotes from customers, 2 is a banknote receiving box, 3 is a banknote separation box for sending the banknotes from the receiving box 2 one by one onto a conveyance path, and 4 is a storage for storing ten thousand yen bills. 5 is a 1,000 yen bill storage box, 5 is a 1,000 yen bill storage box, 6 is a banknote discrimination box that distinguishes the authenticity and denomination of banknotes, 7 is a 10,000 yen bill storage box that stores 1,000 yen bills; Stores banknotes when the yen note storage box 5 cannot store them, or stores banknotes when the number of banknotes in the Niku yen note storage box 4 or 1,000 yen note storage box 5 falls below a predetermined amount. A banknote recycling box to be replenished, gates 8 to 11 for distributing banknotes to destinations, and 12 to 14 banknote transport paths.

FIG. 1 shows a transaction processing flow of a control section (not shown) in the automatic teller machine of this embodiment, which is configured as a double series. Note that the flowchart in FIG. 1 shows an example of a withdrawal transaction. Below, the first
The operation of this embodiment will be explained based on the diagram and FIG.

Operations other than the banknote replenishment operation are similar to those of a general recycle type automatic teller machine. That is, when a user selects a transaction, the device asks for a card and/or bankbook entry, depending on the type of transaction, and then for a withdrawal transaction, asks for a pin number. Furthermore, in a withdrawal transaction, an amount is requested to be input, and after checking whether the device has received the amount correctly, the device communicates with the host device, determines the success or failure of the transaction, and then sends the bill to the banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism. Activate the department and make banknote payments.

Similarly, in the case of deposit transactions, after requesting confirmation of the deposit amount,
-4 It communicates with the second-rank device, prints the results on the passbook, and notifies the user.

The replenishment operation, which is a feature of this embodiment, will be explained below.

When the above-mentioned control unit (not shown) detects the end of the transaction (step 21), the 4. Check the remaining amount of banknotes in the thousand yen note storage box 5 (step 22), and if the remaining amount of banknotes is less than a predetermined amount, the banknotes are fed out from the banknote recirculation box 7 to the conveyance path I3 (step 23). The dispensed banknotes are subjected to denomination discrimination by the banknote discrimination box 6, and then passed through the gate 10. Gate 8. The gate 9 replenishes the corresponding denomination storage box.

During the above banknote replenishment operation (while waiting for the customer, step 24), the transaction selection for the next transaction is made (step 25), and the card input (
Step 26) When a series of input data processing such as inputting two bankbooks (step 27), inputting a password (step 28), and inputting an amount (step 29) is completed and the confirmation key is pressed (step 30), the control unit Check whether or not banknote replenishment is in progress (step 3) B. If replenishment is in progress, stop the replenishment (step 32) and then activate the banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism in accordance with the transaction. (Step 33). Further, if the replenishment operation is not in progress, the above-mentioned deposit/withdrawal mechanism section is directly activated.

According to the above embodiment, the banknote replenishment operation is performed from the end of the transaction (step 21) until the user presses the confirmation key to start the banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism (step 30). You can replenish enough banknotes for your transactions.

The above embodiment was explained using a withdrawal transaction as an example.
The operation of the present invention is similar for deposit transactions.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, in an automated teller machine that uses deposited banknotes for withdrawal, a means for detecting the remaining amount in the banknote storage box for each denomination is provided, and the banknotes are detected at the end of one transaction. Check the remaining amount of the storage box, and if replenishment is necessary, start replenishing the banknote storage box for each denomination with banknotes, and if the next transaction is started during replenishment, input data processing for the transaction.

Since the replenishment is continued until the communication with the center is completed and the banknote deposit/withdrawal mechanism is activated, the banknote replenishment operation can be executed more efficiently, and at least the banknotes needed for the next withdrawal transaction can be executed. This has the remarkable effect of realizing an automatic cash transaction system that can replenish banknotes to a certain degree and prevent situations where withdrawal transactions become impossible.
