Description

Automatic transaction equipment

The present invention relates to an automatic transaction apparatus.

In recent years, automatic transaction apparatuses that are installed in financial institutions (for example, banks) and convenience stores and are operated by an unspecified number of users are known. As an example of an automatic transaction apparatus, ATM (Automated Teller Machine) etc. are mentioned. In such an automatic transaction apparatus, a deposit return bill returned at the time of deposit, a deposit reject bill rejected at the time of deposit, or a withdrawal bill discharged at the time of withdrawal is used (for example, due to forgetting by the user) In some cases, a banknote that has not been removed by a user is also referred to as a “forgotten banknote”.

Such forgotten banknotes are taken in from the deposit / withdrawal unit and conveyed to the take-in warehouse as taken-in banknotes. At this time, one or more forgotten banknotes remaining in the deposit / withdrawal unit are conveyed to the take-in warehouse as one-time take-in banknotes. Here, when a plurality of taken-in banknotes are mixed in the taking-in warehouse, it may be difficult to determine one taken-in banknote from one or a plurality of taken-in banknotes stored in the taking-in warehouse.

Therefore, a technique for making it possible to confirm a one-time banknote from the banknotes stored in the bank is disclosed. For example, a technique is disclosed in which every time a user forgets to pick up a paper, the direction of the banknote forgotten to be picked up is reversed and conveyed to a take-in warehouse (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to such a technique, it is possible to determine a taken-in banknote in which the orientations of the front and back sides are continuously aligned among the taken-in banknotes stored in the taking-in warehouse as a taken-in banknote.

JP-A-9-27060

However, according to such a technique, when an unknown ticket is mixed with a forgotten banknote or when a heavy run occurs in a forgotten banknote, recognition is correctly performed on a part or all of the forgotten banknote. There is a possibility that it will not be broken. In such a case, it is difficult to align the front and back directions of the banknotes taken for one time. In such a case, the bill type and serial number of the forgotten banknotes that have not been correctly recognized are not recognized, and it is difficult to determine one banknote to be taken based on the ticket type and serial number.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a technique for facilitating the management of the banknotes stored in the storage.

In order to solve the above problem, according to a certain aspect of the present invention, a deposit / withdrawal unit that stores a deposit return banknote returned at the time of deposit, a deposit reject banknote rejected at the time of deposit, or a withdrawal banknote discharged at the time of withdrawal And the deposit return banknote, the deposit reject banknote, or the withdrawal banknote that can not be taken out from the deposit / withdrawal unit, and a take-in warehouse that can store the forgotten banknote, and the deposit / withdrawal unit that has not been taken out from the deposit / withdrawal unit When there is a forgotten banknote, it is determined whether or not there is an unknown ticket in the forgotten banknote, and when there is no unknown ticket in the forgotten banknote, a control unit that transports the forgotten banknote to the take-in warehouse, An automatic transaction apparatus is provided.

The control unit may control execution of a predetermined failure occurrence process when the forgotten banknote has an unknown ticket.

When there is the forgotten banknote that has not been taken out from the deposit / withdrawal section, the control section causes the forgotten banknote to be transported to a temporary storage section and determines whether there is an unknown ticket in the temporary storage section. When there is no unknown ticket in the temporary holding unit, the banknote of the temporary holding unit may be conveyed to the take-in storage.

When there is the forgotten banknote that has not been taken out from the deposit / withdrawal unit, the control unit causes the banknote of the temporary storage unit to be conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal unit and is stored in the deposit / withdrawal unit. May be conveyed to the temporary holding unit, and it may be determined whether or not there is an unknown ticket in the temporary holding unit.

The control unit may cause the banknote of the temporary storage unit to be conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal unit when there is an unknown ticket in the temporary storage unit.

The control unit may control execution of a predetermined failure occurrence process when there is an unknown ticket in the temporary holding unit.

The control unit determines whether or not there is a remaining banknote in the take-in warehouse when there is the forgotten banknote that has not been taken out from the deposit / withdrawal unit, and when there is no residual banknote in the take-in warehouse, You may make the said forgetting banknote which was not taken out from the said deposit or withdrawal part convey to the said pick-up warehouse, without determining whether the said banknote has an unknown ticket.

The control unit may determine whether there is an unknown ticket in the forgotten banknote that has not been taken out from the deposit / withdrawal unit when there is a remaining banknote in the take-in storage.

The control unit determines whether there is an unknown ticket in the take-in warehouse when there is the forgotten banknote that has not been taken out from the deposit / withdrawal unit, and when there is an unknown ticket in the take-in warehouse, The execution of a predetermined failure occurrence process may be controlled without determining whether or not the forgotten banknote has an unknown ticket.

(1-3. Detailed functions of automatic transaction equipment)
Subsequently, the functional details of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In 1st Embodiment of this invention, the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 16 is the banknote (henceforth "payment return banknote") returned at the time of money_receiving | payment, the banknote rejected at the time of money_receiving | payment (henceforth a "payment rejection banknote"). Or banknotes discharged at the time of withdrawal (hereinafter also referred to as “withdrawal banknotes”). More specifically, the deposit return banknote may be a banknote returned when a deposit cancellation operation is input by the customer at the time of deposit. The deposit reject banknote may be a reject banknote discriminated as a fake ticket or an unknown denomination in the discrimination unit 18 at the time of deposit.

In the following, the banknotes that have failed to be read by the discrimination unit 18 and the banknotes that have been identified as counterfeit by the discrimination unit 18 are referred to as “unknown vouchers”. The take-in warehouse 22 can store forgotten banknotes that have not been taken out from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16 among the deposit return banknotes, deposit reject banknotes or withdrawal banknotes.

Then, when there is a forgotten banknote that has not been removed from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16, the control unit 12 determines whether the forgotten banknote has an unknown ticket. When there is no unknown ticket in the forgotten banknote, the control unit 12 takes the forgotten banknote into the take-in warehouse 22. As a result, there are no unknown tickets in the forgotten banknotes stored in the take-in storage 22 (because all of the forgotten banknotes stored in the intake storage 22 have already been confirmed), they are stored in the take-in storage 22. It becomes possible to easily manage the banknotes taken in.

Also, the bill type and serial number of the banknotes taken into the take-in warehouse 22 may be stored in the storage unit 14. Then, when a banknote is collected from the take-in storage 22, the bill type and serial number of the banknote collected from the take-in storage 22 are checked with the ticket type and serial number stored in the storage unit 14. It is possible to manage incoming bills. Note that the ticket type and serial number stored in the storage unit 14 are not cleared only when a part of banknotes are collected from the take-in warehouse 22, but are cleared when all banknotes are collected from the take-in warehouse 22. May be.

On the other hand, when there is an unknown ticket in the banknote to be removed, the control unit 12 may control the execution of a predetermined failure occurrence process without transporting the banknote to the banknote 22 to be taken out. Here, the process at the time of failure occurrence is not particularly limited. For example, the failure occurrence process may include a process of displaying a failure occurrence screen indicating the occurrence of a failure on the operation display unit 6, or may include a process of notifying the employee of a failure occurrence indicating the occurrence of the failure. For example, the failure occurrence notification may be made by a display on a monitoring PC (Personal Computer) used by the employee.

Further, whether or not there is an unknown ticket in the banknote forgotten to be taken may be determined when it is present in the temporary holding unit 20 after being transported to the temporary holding unit 20. That is, when there is a forgotten banknote that has not been removed from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16, the control unit 12 may cause the temporary storage unit 20 to transport the forgotten banknote. Then, the control unit 12 may determine whether or not there is an unknown ticket in the temporary holding unit 20. When there is no unknown ticket in the temporary storage unit 20, the control unit 12 may take the banknote of the temporary storage unit 20 to the storage 22.

Moreover, the ticket type and serial number of the banknotes taken into the take-in warehouse 22 may be stored in the storage unit 14 as described above. Then, when a banknote is collected from the take-in storage 22, the bill type and serial number of the banknote collected from the take-in storage 22 are checked with the ticket type and serial number stored in the storage unit 14. It is possible to manage incoming bills.

On the other hand, when there is an unknown ticket in the temporary storage unit 20, the control unit 12 may cause the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16 to convey the banknote in the temporary storage unit 20. The banknote conveyed to the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 16 can be taken out by the customer. Furthermore, when there is an unknown ticket in the temporary holding unit 20, the control unit 12 may control execution of a predetermined failure occurrence process. The process at the time of occurrence of a failure may be executed as described above.

In addition, when there is a forgotten banknote that has not been removed from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the forgotten banknote has an unknown ticket before the unknown card is in the take-in storage 22. You may determine whether it exists. And the control part 12 may control execution of the process at the time of predetermined | prescribed failure generation | occurrence | production, without determining whether there is an unknown ticket in a banknote forgotten when there is an unknown ticket in the taking-in storage 22. . The process at the time of occurrence of a failure may be executed as described above.

Thus, even if there is an unknown ticket in the take-in warehouse 22, the banknote in the take-in warehouse 22 becomes a single taken banknote. Therefore, even if there is an unknown ticket in the take-in warehouse 22, it is possible to easily determine the taken-in banknote from the banknotes in the take-in warehouse 22. On the other hand, when there is no unknown ticket in the take-in storage 22, the control unit 12 may determine whether there is an unknown ticket in the banknote forgotten.

In addition, when there is a forgotten banknote that has not been taken out from the banknote depositing / withdrawing section 16, the control unit 12 determines whether there is an unknown ticket in the forgotten banknote (or is unknown in the take-in storage 22. Before determining whether or not there is a ticket, it may be determined whether or not there is a remaining banknote in the take-in storage 22. Then, when there is no remaining banknote in the take-in storage 22, the control unit 12 does not determine whether there is an unknown ticket in the banknote (or determines whether there is an unknown ticket in the take-in storage 22. The banknotes that are forgotten to be taken may be taken into the warehouse 22 without being judged.

According to such a configuration, when a forgotten banknote is generated for the first time, the forgotten banknote is conveyed to the take-in warehouse 22 regardless of whether or not the forgotten banknote has an unknown ticket. Therefore, the efficiency of the conveyance of the banknote forgotten to the taking-in storage 22 is achieved.

It should be noted that whether or not there is a remaining banknote in the take-in warehouse 22 may be determined based on a detection result by a sensor (for example, an optical sensor or the like) capable of detecting the banknote in the take-in warehouse 22.

On the other hand, if there is a remaining banknote in the take-in storage 22, the control unit 12 may determine whether there is an unknown ticket in the banknote forgotten.

The functional details of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention have been described above.
