As shown in FIG. 4, the flow of the deposit processing of this embodiment firstly waits until the upper control unit 200 has a deposit transaction (step S100). The presence or absence of this deposit transaction is a card insertion by the depositor to the card reception unit 130 (refer FIG. 1, FIG. 2), a bankbook insertion by the depositor to the bank account acceptance unit 140 (refer FIG. 1, FIG. 2), a display operation part ( 120 is determined by operation by the depositor of the operation unit of the deposit acceptance indicated in (refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2). If there is a deposit transaction by the depositor, the upper control unit 200 reads the deposit operation by the depositor (step S102), and specifies the depositor on the basis of the reading result of the card or bankbook described above (step S104).

Subsequent to the specification of the depositor (step S104), the upper control unit 200 instructs the bill conveyance unit 150 to accept the bill receipt. The deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151 controls release of the shutter 111 (see FIG. 3) and the like in the banknote accepting and dispensing mechanism unit 110, and receives the deposited banknote (step S106).

Subsequently, the upper control unit 200 stores the received banknotes after closing the shutter 111 in the deposit path 152 (see FIG. 3) as described one by one and returns them to the banknote reading unit 160. To read the banknote image. The banknote identification unit 163 determines the type and authenticity of the banknote. If the paper is not discernible, cannot be judged to be a genuine paper money, or if the returned paper money is contaminated or damaged, it is stored in the temporary holding part 116, such as when the paper money is bent or when two or more sheets are stacked and conveyed. When it is judged that it cannot be done, the upper control unit 200 outputs an instruction for half-turning to the depositor to the deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151, and embosses the banknote with the bill dispensing stacker 114. It repeats until all the banknotes of banknote input hopper 112 are conveyed. The depositor removes the bank note engraved on the dispensing stacker 114, and performs a deposit counting operation again (step S108).

The deposit count end processing differs in the operation when the amount of the deposit count is determined, when the depositor forgets the half-billed bill and withdraws the drawout without determining the deposit count, and when the depositor cancels the deposit count. Do. When the depositor confirms the amount of the deposit count, the deposit transaction is established, the control unit 200 prints the statement of the deposit transaction, and embosses the bankbook or card to the depositor (step S110).

Next, a banknote storing process is performed. The upper control section 200 conveys the bills stored in the temporary holding section 116 to the storing section 170 and stores the bill identification information 600 and the bill image information 700 of the inappropriate bill (step S114). . The flowchart of the banknote conveyance and information reading process at this time is shown in FIG.

The banknote reading part 160 scans with the scanner part 161 which embeds the receipt storing banknote which is conveyed (step S200) one by one (step S202), and outputs the scan result to the banknote identification part 163. FIG. The banknote identification part 163 performs the paper type determination and authenticity determination of a banknote (step S204).

If the paper is not discernible, if it cannot be judged as a real banknote, or if the returned banknote is contaminated or damaged, the banknote is bent or returned in duplicate. When it is judged that it cannot be performed (step S208: YES), the banknote conveyance part 150 conveys the banknote as an inappropriate banknote to the inappropriate banknote storage 172, and the banknotes other than that are conveyed to the banknote storage 173. . When conveying to the improper banknote storage 172, the banknote is judged to satisfy the banknote image storage matching condition, and a part of the banknote identification information 600 and the banknote image information 700 which were determined by the banknote identification unit 163 were found. Is temporarily stored in the identification storage unit 167 (step S210). The identification storage unit 167 is a memory device having a high speed but a small storage capacity.

After all the bills have been conveyed from the temporary holding part 116 to the bill storage 173 or the inappropriate bill storage 172 (step S212: YES), the upper control section 200 performs the above-described image information of the read inappropriate bill. The compression and encryption unit 700 compresses and encrypts the data 700 and transmits the same to the upper storage unit 206 together with the banknote identification information 600 described above (step S116).

In addition, the process which transmits the image information 700 to the upper memory | storage part 206 in this way can also be performed at the timing when the image information 700 memorize | stored in the identification memory | storage part 167 became more than predetermined amount. At this time, all the image information 700 memorize | stored in the identification memory | storage part 167 is collectively transmitted to the upper memory | storage part 206, and the structure which deletes the transferred image information 700 from the identification memory | storage part 167 is comprised. You can do As a result, the upper storage unit 206 for which high speed storage is required is kept small, and all the image information 700 is stored in the upper storage unit 206 (or the information is transferred to the host computer HC). It is possible to further store in the storage unit HCM).

Here, the predetermined amount can be an amount in which the image information cannot be stored in the first storage means or a predetermined predetermined capacity.

In addition, the banknote conveying unit 150 transmits the inappropriate banknote information 750 from the banknote deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151 to the upper storage unit 206 (step S118).

In the take-out forgetting in the payment coefficient, the bill of the reception dispensing mechanism unit 110 is conveyed to the take-out forgetting bill storage 176. After that, once the banknote of the temporary holding part 116 is conveyed to the reception dispensing mechanism part 110, it is conveyed to the take-out forgetful banknote storage 176. When conveying to the take-out oblivion bill storage 176, the said banknote is judged to satisfy | fill banknote image memory matching conditions (step S208: YES), and identification of the some banknote which proved by the banknote identification part 163 about this banknote The information 600 and the bill image information 700 are stored by the identification storage unit 167 (step S210).

After all the bills have been returned to the take-out oblivion bill holder 176, the upper control unit 200 compresses and encrypts the above-described image information 700 of the read inappropriate bill by the compression / encryption unit 168. And the above-mentioned banknote identification information 600, it transfers to the upper memory | storage part 206 (step S116). In addition, the banknote conveyance unit 150 transmits the inappropriate banknote information 750 from the banknote deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151 to the upper memory unit 206 (step S118).

6 shows a flowchart of information acquisition processing in a withdrawal transaction. The upper control unit 200 which performs the withdrawal transaction waits until the card or bankbook is inserted in the same manner as the above-described deposit transaction (step S300). The upper control unit 200 reads the withdrawal operation by the withdrawal person (step S302), and specifies the withdrawal person based on the reading result of the card or bankbook (step S304).

Subsequent to the specification of the withdrawal person, the upper control unit 200 carries out the bill from the bill holder 173 according to the inputted withdrawal information, and the bill reading unit 160 reads out the bill. If it is determined that the authenticity of the banknote or the result of the handwriting judgment such as contamination or damage is not appropriate as the withdrawal banknote, the banknote is rejected and returned to the temporary holding unit 116. Or if the banknote is judged to be suitable for withdrawing to a customer normally, the banknote is conveyed to the banknote dispensing stacker 114 (step S306).

When the banknote satisfying the withdrawal amount is returned to the banknote dispensing stacker 114, the upper control unit 200 prints the statement of the withdrawal transaction and performs an end process such as dividing the bankbook or card to the withdrawer (step). S308). When the improper banknote is stored in the temporary holding part 116 by the withdrawal process, the upper control part 200 conveys the banknote of the temporary holding part 116 to the inappropriate banknote storage 172. At this time, all banknotes are read by the banknote reading part 160 similarly to the operation | movement (step S200-S212) shown in FIG. 5 (step S312). These banknotes coincide with banknote image storage conditions, and part of the banknote identification information 600 and the banknote image information 700 found out in the banknote identification unit 163 with respect to the banknote are stored in the identification storage unit 167. .

After the upper control unit 200 conveys all the bills to the inappropriate bill storage 172, the upper and lower control units 200 compress the bill image information 700 of the inappropriate bills stored in the identification storage unit 167 by the compression and encryption unit 168. The data is encrypted and sent to the upper storage unit 206 together with the banknote identification information 600 (step S314).

In addition, the banknote conveyance unit 150 transmits the inappropriate banknote information 750 from the banknote deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151 to the upper storage unit 206 (step S410).

If the withdrawal person does not receive the withdrawn money even after a certain period of time, the withdrawal forgetting processing is performed differently from the withdrawal termination process described above. In this case, the upper control unit 200 performs an end process of collecting the bankbook and the card (step S308). The upper control part 200 conveys the banknote in the banknote dispensing stacker 114 to the take-out forgetting banknote storage 176. In addition, when the inappropriate banknote is stored in the temporary holding unit 116, the upper control unit 200 conveys the inappropriate banknote to the inappropriate banknote storage 172. At this time, a banknote is read by the banknote reading part 160 similarly to the operation | movement (step S200-S212) shown in FIG. 5 (step S312).

These banknotes coincide with banknote image storage conditions, and part of the banknote identification information 600 and the banknote image information 700 found out by the banknote identification unit 163 for the banknote are stored by the identification storage unit 167. do. The upper control unit 200 conveys all of the take-out forgetting paper money to the take-out forgetting paper money bank 176, and conveys all of the inappropriate bills stored in the temporary holding part 116 to the inappropriate bill storage 172. The banknote image information 700 of the banknote stored in the identification storage unit 167 is compressed and encrypted by the compression / encryption unit 168 and transmitted to the upper storage unit 206 together with the banknote identification information 600 ( Step S314).

In addition, the banknote conveyance unit 150 transmits the inappropriate banknote information 750 from the banknote deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151 to the upper memory unit 206 (step S316).

Next, the unit which stores a banknote image is demonstrated. FIG. 7: is explanatory drawing which shows typically from the banknote insertion hopper 112 to the banknote reading part 160 as a top view about the banking path 152 at the time of banknote receipt counting. The banknote is conveyed from the banknote input hopper 112 toward the banknote reading unit 160. The scanner unit 161 of the banknote reading unit 160 drives the sensor to photograph an image even when the banknote passes even when it does not pass. The image information is output to the banknote image extracting unit 164, and after the banknote passes through the scanner unit 161, the banknote image extracting unit 164 extends the banknote image information of one unit from the front end to the rear end of the banknote. Extracted as 700.

Therefore, in FIG. 7, one unit of banknote image information 700 stored in the banknote 511 becomes image information 521. The banknote image information 700 of one unit of one banknote 512 when a banknote is inclined largely and conveyed becomes image information 522 whose length from a front end to a rear end is longer than the above-mentioned image information 521. . The banknote image information 700 of one unit of the some banknotes 513 in the case where two or more banknotes were piled up and conveyed is image information 523 from the front end of a leading banknote to the rear end of a last banknote.

Contamination, wrinkles, and bent bills 514 may be rejected even if the number of gold or the number of sheets is determined. Although these bills are recognized as genuine bills at the time of deposit counting, they may be determined to be collected at the bank side without being used for withdrawal, depending on the state of the bills. ) Is stored. In addition, even when it is determined that the bills drawn out from the bill holder 173 at the time of withdrawal are not bills to be withdrawn to the customer for the reasons described above, the bills are stored in the inappropriate bill holder 172.

8 is an explanatory diagram of the banknote identification information 600, and FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the banknote image information 700. 10 is a data structure diagram of inappropriate banknote information 750. 11 is explanatory drawing of the format 800 of banknote information. With reference to FIGS. 8-11, the storage arrangement at the time of storing the content of banknote information and the banknote information in the identification memory | storage part 167 is demonstrated.

The banknote identification information 600 includes a banknote transaction number 601, which is an ID of a banknote that is updated each time the banknote passes the identification, the gold type 602 of the identified banknote, the authenticity determination result 603 of the banknote, and the banknote. In the carrier ID 604 to be described later, the carrier ID 605 to be described later, the ID 616 of the transaction processing, the area 607 occupied by the bill in one transport unit, and one transport unit. The thickness distribution 608 of the banknote, the rejection factor 609, and the number of sheets of banknotes 610 of each paper type are configured.

For example, if the area is one sheet and the thickness indicates distribution of two sheets over the whole area, it is determined that two banknotes are stacked and conveyed, and information indicating two sheets is stored in the number 610.

The banknote image information 700 is the size 701 of the image information stored, and the image information 703 of the whole banknote.

The carrier ID 604 is a unique ID number stored in the memory of the banknote 173 when the carrier is the banknote 173, for example. The carrier may be any one of the bill holder 173, the bill input hopper 112, and the temporary holding part 116. The transfer destination ID 605 can be a bill dispensing stacker 114, a temporary holding unit 116, a banknote hopper 112, a banknote storage 173 stored therein, or an inappropriate banknote storage 172. Or the take-out forgetting banknote 176. These information are acquired by the banknote reading part 160 and the banknote conveyance part 150 at the time of banknote conveyance, and are output and accumulate | stored in the upper memory | storage part 206 of the upper control part 200 for every banknote transaction. As shown in FIG. 11, these information are stored in order of banknote identification information 600 and banknote image information 700 for every conveyance unit mentioned above.

As shown in FIG. 10, the inappropriate bill information 750 is constituted by the process ID 751, the process contents 752, the number of purchase information 753, and the target bill transaction ID 754. Is the configuration that is stored.

The process ID 751 stores a unique ID for each process assigned to each transaction process, corresponding to the transaction process ID 610 of the banknote identification information 600. The process content 752 stores the process content of transactions such as deposit and withdrawal in response to the transaction operation 611 of the banknote identification information 600. The number of pieces of information 753 stores the kinds of paper money and the number of sheets of bills recognized at the time of deposit counting.

At the time of withdrawal and at the time of closing, the number of papers and the number of pieces of paper recognized when the banknote is released from the bill storage 173 are stored. However, when the number of pieces of money or the number of pieces is unknown, the number of pieces of information 753 stores an asterisk (shown in the figure "*") in the amount of money instructed by the upper control section 200. The target banknote transaction ID 754 is configured by the target number 755 and a plurality of ID? N 756. The object number 755 is the number of rejected information. ID? N 756 corresponds to banknote transaction number 601.

With this configuration, the upper memory unit 206 can store how many banknotes of which kind of paper are identified in which processing. In addition, the upper memory unit 206 can also store the presence of bank notes that only part of them can be identified. Therefore, when the operator enters the paper type and number of unknown bank notes later, the host computer HC can mechanically judge the validity of the input.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the remote inspection process on the host computer HC side, and FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the recount processing of the inappropriate bill storage 172. 14 is a flowchart of the remote inspection process on the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 side. 15 is an explanatory diagram of display and input of identification information, and FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram of the enlarged image.

The flow of a remote banknote straightening process is demonstrated, referring FIG. 12, FIG. 13, and FIG. First, when there is an access record to the inappropriate bill storage 172 mounted in the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 which performs the inspection (step S500: YES), the host computer HC, the inappropriate bill storage 172 It is judged whether or not to recount the banknotes in the package (step S520).

When recounting the bills in the inappropriate bill storage 172 (step S520: YES), the host computer HC recounts the inappropriate bill storage 172 in the bill transaction processing apparatus 100. (Step S522). After the recount of the inappropriate bill storage 172 is performed, the communication unit HCT of the host computer HC receives the recount result of the bill in the inappropriate bill storage 172 and the information of the inappropriate bill storage 172. (Step S524). If the host computer HC determines in step S520 not to recount the bills in the inappropriate bill storage 172, the bill ordering process ends abnormally (step S520: NO).

If there is no access record to the inappropriate bill storage 172 (step S500: NO), the procedure proceeds to the transmission of the recount instruction of the storage without performing a recount of the bills in the inappropriate bill storage 172 (step S502). do.

Next, when the signal of the start of banknote straightening process of the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 is input from the keyboard 13 of the PC terminal 11 of the host computer HC, the host computer HC is a communication unit (HCT). ) Transmits a signal of a banknote inspection start to the communication unit 202 of the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 through the communication network NW. Upon receiving this signal, the upper control unit 200 starts banknote inspection for each banknote storage 173, that is, every gold type, with respect to the banknote stored in each banknote storage 173. The upper control unit 200 is taken out from the banknote storage 173 one by one and conveyed to the replenishment, recovery, and cashier 177. At this time, in the banknote reading section 160, the banknotes determined to be stored in the banknote storage box 173 again by, for example, skew conveyed with great inclination, are temporarily stored in the temporary holding section 116 (S402). ).

Thereafter, the upper control unit 200 conveys the bills conveyed in the replenishment, the collection, and the cash register 177 to the bill storage 173. At this time, when the banknote reading unit 160 determines that the banknote should not be stored in the banknote storage 173 due to skew, for example, when the banknote is tilted largely and conveyed, the banknote is stored in the inappropriate banknote storage 172. It is stored. The banknote matches the banknote image storage conditions, and similarly to the procedure of FIG. 5 described above, part of the banknote identification information 600 and the banknote image information 700 found out by the banknote identification unit 163 are identified in the identification storage unit ( 167) (S404).

Thereafter, the upper control unit 200 conveys all the bills conveyed to the temporary holding unit 116 to the inappropriate bill storage 172. The banknote matches the banknote image storage conditions, and similarly to the procedure of FIG. 5 described above, part of the banknote identification information 600 and the banknote image information 700 found out by the banknote identification unit 163 are identified in the identification storage unit ( 167) (S406).

Thereafter, the bill image information 700 of the improper banknote stored in the identification storage unit 167 is compressed and encrypted by the compression / encryption unit 168, and the upper storage unit 206 together with the banknote identification information 600. (Step S408).

In addition, the banknote conveyance unit 150 transmits the inappropriate banknote information 750 from the banknote deposit and withdrawal processing unit 151 to the upper storage unit 206 (step S410).

When the execution of the banknote stored in one banknote storage 173 is completed by the process of step S402-step S410, the upper control part 200 similarly also about step | step S402 in step S402 about the remaining banknote storage 173. The process up to (step S412) is performed.

When the processing of steps S402 to S410 is completed for all banknote storages 173 (step S412: YES), information on the paper type and number of copies, which are the result of the bill filing, is stored in the upper storage unit 206, and the bill transaction is performed. It is transmitted from the communication part 202 of the processing apparatus 100 to the communication part HCT of the host computer HC via the communication network NW (step S414).

In addition, the banknote identification information 600, the banknote image information 700, and the inappropriate banknote information 750, in which a part of the improper banknote is found, are also communicated from the communication unit 202 of the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 from the communication network NW. The data is transmitted to the communication unit HCT of the host computer HC via step S416. The host computer HC receives the result of the banknote regularity and the information about the inappropriate banknote from the communication unit HCT, and stores it in the data storage unit HCM (step S504).

Next, the procedure by which the host computer HC inputs the balance of the banknotes of the inappropriate banknote storage 172 and the take-out forgetting banknote storage 176 to an operator is demonstrated. In order to specify an inappropriate banknote, the information of the banknote identification information 600, the banknote image information 700, and the inappropriate banknote information 750 which some information turns out are used.

As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the host computer HC displays the information of the inappropriate bill on the information display unit 901 on the screen 900 of the display 12 of the PC terminal 11. The banknote image of the improper banknote to be displayed is displayed on the image display unit 910 and the thumbnail display unit 911 on the screen 900 (step S508).

In addition, "process ID" displayed on the information display unit 901 corresponds to the process ID 751 of the inappropriate banknote information 750. In addition, "processing" displayed on the information display unit 901 corresponds to the processing contents 752 of the inappropriate banknote information 750. In addition, the "reject factor" displayed on the information display unit 901 corresponds to the reject factor 609 of the banknote identification information 600. "Identification" displayed on the information display unit 901 indicates that "○" is displayed when it is determined that the gold denomination 602 and the identification result 603 of the banknote identification information 600 are not abnormal and authentic. And "x" is displayed when otherwise. The "x" includes, for example, a case in which two or more sheets are taken out in succession from the bill storage 173 so that the paper money cannot be determined because the bills are stacked. It is judged that the conveyance state is bad and the skew angle is so large that it cannot be stored in the banknote storage 173, and even when it is stored in the improper banknote storage 172, the amount of paper and the number of sheets are determined by the reading result of the banknote reading part 160. If it is, "○" is displayed. "Registration" displayed on the information display unit 901 means that the paper type and the number of sheets are determined by the display image 900 for the banknote transaction whose identification is "x".

The screen 900 includes, in addition to the information display unit 901, an input unit 902 for inputting the number of banknotes for each gold type, a checker 903 for inputting that the number of banknotes cannot be determined when the number of banknotes cannot be determined. Cursor movement button 904 which vertically moves the process of selecting from the list of banknote information 901, front and back switching button 905 which switches the image of the front and back sides of a banknote, the image enlargement button 906 to enlarge and display, The image reduction button 907 which reduces and displays the image, the whole display button 908 which displays the whole image, the registration button 912 which registers the input information, and the end button 913 which end an operation | work are provided. It also includes a history button 914 for retrieving the operator's input history. The host computer HC displays the information of the inappropriate banknote information 750 on the display 12 in response to an operator's request. When the PC terminal 11 registers the information input by the registration button 912, it displays a comment column (not shown) on the display 12, and is comprised so that a comment may be input from the keyboard 13. The operator can enter a comment for each input result in the comment field.

The operator can appropriately operate the above-described various buttons and the like to display a desired image and perform input, registration, or the like. The host computer HC inputs the operator with reference to the inappropriate bill image 910 (step S510).

Next, the host computer HC examines the validity of the inappropriate bill information 750 of the inappropriate bill input by the operator (step S512). Specifically, the host computer HC determines the obvious input miss based on the banknote identification information 600 and the input inappropriate banknote information 750 which it turns out.

For example, according to the improper banknote information 750, in the transaction of the processing ID 001, the banknotes which have been counted are found to be two 100 won bills and one 50 won bill, and the number of the target number 755. Since "1", it can be seen that, at the time of deposit receipt, the bill was conveyed to the inappropriate bill storage 172 with respect to one conveyance thereof.

The remaining two times, for example, one 100-won bill and one 50-won bill are returned to normal, and it can be estimated that the bill conveyed to the inappropriate bill storage 172 is one 100-won bill. When the processing ID 001 is displayed on the screen 900, an image of one rejected 100 won bill is displayed.

The operator confirms that the bill of the image is one 100 won bill and inputs it. Or the banknote conveyed at this time may be broken in the middle of conveyance just before storing, and some may remain in the middle of a conveyance path. In that case, a part is missing in the displayed banknote image and cannot be determined by the banknote reading part 160. FIG.

The operator may recognize and input the denomination type information from an image in which part is missing or may be impossible to confirm. It is also possible to enter and report information that is partially missing. Next, in the withdrawal transaction of process ID 002, since the reject factor of a banknote is displayed as length or more, it can be estimated that banknotes were conveyed one after another by failing to move out from banknote storage 173. In this case, since the subsequent banknote 173 is identified, it is possible to know which kind of money was returned, but the number of copies is unknown.

Therefore, the asterisk "*" is memorize | stored in the purchase information 753 with respect to the 100-won banknote which had been ordered to withdraw. The operator selects the process ID 002 here, and displays the banknote image information 700 of the conveyance state at that time. In this embodiment, since three 100-won bills are stacked and conveyed, the operator can determine that three 100-won bills are three, and input three 100-won bills into the screen 900. do.

At this time, the host computer HC checks the entered gold species. Since the withdrawn banknote is derived from the specific banknote 173, for example, when the 50 won banknote is input three by mistake, the withdrawal bank is different because it is clearly different, so that the host computer HC is different. A warning can be issued to the operator.

In addition, the host computer HC inspects the area information 614 and the thickness information 615 of the banknote identification information 600 with respect to the inputted gold species and the number of sheets. For example, it can be seen that the bill is three sheets from the bill thickness distribution of these three sheets and the area of the entire bill image. Therefore, when an operator inputs one sheet, it can be determined that it is an obvious input miss, and the host computer HC can warn the operator.

In the case of an obvious input miss (step S512: NO), the host computer HC displays a correction screen, prompts the operator to correct the input (step S514) and prohibits the input which is an obvious error. At this time, a warning of an input miss is output. Alternatively, the operator may store information of an input missed operator. In this way, when there is a negative input, the operator of the negative input can be specified. If the determination of the input miss is not made (step S512: YES), the correction screen is not displayed.

When the banknote identification information 600 of all the indefinite bills is input (step S516: YES), the host computer HC is a banknote whose cash balance in the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 is stored in the host computer HC. Identifies whether or not it matches the balance information prior to orthodoxy. If it matches, the orthogonal processing ends normally. If there is no match (step S518: NO), the operator corrects the input contents by referring to the inappropriate bill information 750 again when correcting the input contents (step S519: YES). Otherwise (step S519: NO), the job is forcibly terminated. Therefore, it is preferable that the input history can be easily retrieved so that the correction work of the input contents can be easily performed.

Each operator has a personal identification ID and a password. When the above-described input operation is performed, the operation cannot be started unless the personal identification ID and password are input and authentication is obtained. When the operator inputs banknote identification information 600 which is not known, the personal identification ID and the banknote identification information 600 to be input are connected and stored.

By the above structure and operation, the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 can acquire the banknote image information 700 of an inappropriate banknote without taking out an inappropriate banknote from the inappropriate banknote storage 172 and conveying it again. As a result, it is possible to obviate the possibility of causing a subsequent obstacle when the inappropriate banknote is drawn out from the inappropriate banknote storage 172 and a transportation obstacle at the time of conveyance. In addition, the extra stroke which takes out an inappropriate banknote from the inappropriate banknote storage 172 and stores it again in the inappropriate banknote storage 172 can be abbreviate | omitted. Moreover, the structure as the recycling bin which can be continued in the inappropriate bill storage 172 becomes unnecessary, and the structure can be simplified.

Moreover, by the above structure and operation | movement, the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 acquires banknote identification information 600, banknote image information 700, and inappropriate banknote information 750 of the inappropriate banknote which a part of information turns out. can do. By using these information, the banknote transaction processing system 10 judges the validity of the paper type and the number input of the banknotes stored in the operator's improper banknote storage 172 or the take-out oblique banknote storage 176, and input miss or It can prevent the wrong input.

In addition, according to the above structure and operation, the operator easily reads the bill information, which is not found for the inappropriate bill, from the banknote image information 700 of the improper banknote from the display 12 of the PC terminal 11 with the naked eye. You can enter

In addition, by the above structure and operation | movement, the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 can include at least one of a paper type and a number in the banknote identification information 600 of an inappropriate banknote.

In addition, according to the above configuration and operation, the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 temporarily stores the image information in the identification storage unit 167 which is high speed but has a small capacity, and thereafter, an upper storage unit having a low speed but large capacity ( 206 can store the image information.

As a result, it is possible to realize the rapid acquisition of image information and the accumulation of a large amount of image information at the same time.

Moreover, according to the above structure and operation, the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100 can distribute the banknote which can be distributed and the inappropriate banknote to the banknote storage 173 and the inappropriate banknote storage 172, respectively, and at the same time, the banknote of an inappropriate banknote. Image information 700 can be acquired.

In addition, when inputting banknote identification information 600 which an operator did not turn out by the above structure and operation | movement, since the personal identification ID and the banknote identification information 600 to input are stored and stored, the banknote transaction processing system 10 is carried out. Can identify the operator who inputs the banknote identification information 600 which was not known. Thereby, the banknote transaction processing system 10 can suppress a negative input. In addition, the banknote transaction processing system 10 can immediately specify the operator who is the culprit when there is a negative input.

In addition, according to the above structure and operation, an operator can make a banknote in the banknote transaction processing apparatus 100, without going to a point by the remote operation of the host computer HC.
