Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus having a temporarily storing unit for temporarily storing therein a banknote while the banknote is processed in a money deposit process or a money dispensing process.
  • the present invention particularly relates to a banknote handling apparatus having a function to store a banknote that is recognized as a counterfeit banknote in a dedicated storing unit.
  • a banknote handling apparatus capable of performing a money deposit process and a money dispensing process of a banknote is typically used in a financial institution such as a bank.
  • the money deposit process is performed by using the banknote handling apparatus when a customer requests a deposit in a certain account.
  • the authenticity of the banknote received from the customer is recognized, a total amount of the deposited banknotes is calculated, and the deposited banknotes are stored in an internal banknote storing unit.
  • the money dispensing process is performed by using the banknote handling apparatus when, for example, a customer requests dispensing from a certain account, and banknotes of an amount equivalent to the amount specified by the customer are dispensed from the banknote storing unit.
  • the banknote handling apparatus such as a TCR (Teller Cash Recycler) that is used by a teller at the counter of a financial institution and an ATM (Automated Teller Machine)
  • TCR Transmission Cash Recycler
  • ATM Automatic Teller Machine
  • the banknote handling apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes within the apparatus a dedicated stacking unit for storing therein the counterfeit banknote, and the banknote recognized as a counterfeit banknote is stored in this dedicated stacking unit during the money deposit process.
  • Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose a banknote handling apparatus comprising a temporarily storing unit (escrow unit) for storing counterfeit banknotes and/or genuine banknotes.
  • the present invention is made to address the problems in the conventional technology.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a banknote handling apparatus in which a dedicated storing unit for the counterfeit banknote can be arranged only when a counterfeit banknote is found.
  • the present invention provides a banknote handling apparatus according to claim 1. Further embodiments of the present invention are described in the dependent claims.
  • the control unit automatically controls the use of the temporarily storing unit that is used to temporarily store a banknote during performing the banknote handling process such as the money deposit process, the money dispensing process, and the like between use as the temporarily storing unit and use as the dedicated counterfeit banknote storing unit for storing the counterfeit banknote.
  • the banknote handling apparatus that had not initially had the counterfeit banknote storing unit can be used as a banknote handling apparatus having the counterfeit banknote storing unit as desired.
  • the banknote handling apparatus can be downsized in comparison to a banknote handling apparatus in which a counterfeit banknote storing unit that is independent from the temporarily storing unit is arranged.
  • the control unit automatically switches the use of the temporarily storing unit to the use as the counterfeit banknote storing unit, and stores the counterfeit banknote in the temporarily storing unit. Because this operation is performed without an operator of a banknote handling apparatus making any special operation, the banknote handling apparatus having the temporarily storing unit can be easily used as a banknote handling apparatus having the counterfeit banknote storing unit.
  • the control unit automatically switches the use of the temporarily storing unit from the use as the counterfeit banknote storing unit to the use as the temporarily storing unit. Therefore, in the banknote handling apparatus, it becomes possible again to perform the money deposit process and the money dispensing process by using the temporarily storing unit.
  • the control unit automatically performs the instructed processing without using the temporarily storing unit. Therefore, even while the temporarily storing unit is being used as the counterfeit banknote storing unit, most of the instructed banknote handling processes can be performed without hindrance without stopping the use of the banknote handling apparatus.
  • the operator of the banknote handling apparatus can recognize the switching of the usage state of the temporarily storing unit based on the reported information.
  • the counterfeit banknotes when a process to discharge the counterfeit banknotes in the money outlet from the temporarily storing unit that is being used as the counterfeit banknote storing unit is performed, next process is not performed unless all the counterfeit banknotes are removed from the money outlet. Therefore, the counterfeit banknotes can be distinguished from other banknotes and handled with care.
  • a counterfeit banknote when a counterfeit banknote is found in the money deposit process, a value of the counterfeit banknote can be excluded from or included in a deposited amount. Therefore, an appropriate money deposit process can be performed according to the requirement of the financial institution that uses the banknote handling apparatus.
  • the counterfeit banknote cannot be discharged to the outside of the apparatus from the temporarily storing unit that is being used as the counterfeit banknote storing unit unless it is approved through an authentication process. Therefore, the counterfeit banknotes can be handled with care.
  • the banknote handling apparatus includes a temporarily storing unit which is used to temporarily store a banknote while predetermined banknote handling is being performed. If a banknote recognized as a counterfeit banknote is found while the banknote handling is being performed, the temporarily storing unit is used as a counterfeit banknote storing unit which is a dedicated storing unit for a counterfeit banknote. That is, one feature of the present embodiment is that, the temporarily storing unit, which allows storing and feeding of a banknote, is used as the counterfeit banknote storing unit only when it becomes necessary to store a counterfeit banknote.
  • the temporarily storing unit is used for one or both of the money deposit process and the money dispensing process; however, if a counterfeit banknote is found, the counterfeit banknote is stored in the temporarily storing unit, and the use of the temporarily storing unit is changed to the use as the counterfeit banknote storing unit. Moreover, even after the completion of the process in which the counterfeit banknote was found, the counterfeit banknote is stored in the temporarily storing unit until a process to discharge the counterfeit banknote is requested.
  • the temporarily storing unit cannot be used for another purpose while it is being used as the counterfeit banknote storing unit. Therefore, even banknote handling that is usually performed by using the temporarily storing unit is performed without using the temporarily storing unit.
