Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such trouble that is caused when a bundle of paper money is produced and to improve the reliability for producing the bundle of paper money by providing the sheet number reading mechanisms at the outlet and inlet sides and performing the matching of dispensing/receiving sheet numbers between the outlet and inlet sides. SOLUTION: When the paper money of each denomination to be bundled are taken out of store boxes 25a-25c, the sheet number information on the paper money is read by an outlet sheet number reading mechanism 100 and stored in a sheet number information data base (outlet side information) provided on a magnetic disk. If a taken-out sheet is normal, the sheet is sent to a bundle production temporary accumulation/bundle production part 103. If the sheet is abnormal, the sheet is sent to a money dispensing rejection part 105. At the same time, the sheet number information are read by the inlet sheet number reading mechanisms 102 and 104, and the inlet side counting results are stored in a sheet number information data base (inlet side information) provided on the magnetic disk. Then it's decided whether the matching is secured between the dispensing and receiving sheet information stored in the sheet number information data bases when it's decided that 100 normal sheets, for example, are accumulated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash processing system used in, for example, a financial institution and the like.
The present invention relates to a cash processing system capable of solving a number mismatch problem by adopting a number matching method and a control method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, many cash processing systems have appeared. In these cash processing systems, banknotes to be processed are taken out of a safe (rose safe), which is stored one by one, and arranged and bundled. When a bundle is created for a batch, it is usually necessary to make a bundle of 100 sheets, but a number mismatch event such as 99 sheets or 101 sheets has occurred.

For this reason, in the above-described cash processing system, the following countermeasures have been taken for the number mismatch.

(A) The counting results obtained by the circuits as the outlet counting means and the inlet counting means are compared (matched), and the subsequent processing is determined based on the normal / abnormal information.

(B) A residual check on the conveyance path using various sensors and matching based on the height of the machine are performed.

[0006]

However, the countermeasure against the number mismatch in the conventional cash processing system as described above has the following problems.

First, as shown in (a) above, in the case of counting the number of pieces of hardware realized by a circuit (gate) serving as an exit-side counting means and an entrance-side counting means, a hard state (a gate failure or the like) is used. Erroneous counting is likely to occur.

For example, despite the fact that one sheet remains on the way, two sheets are counted due to a gate failure of the exit side counting means. In some cases, it may be determined that they match the entry-side counting results.

Further, as described in (b) above, regarding the residual check on the transport path using various sensors and the residual detection that performs matching based on the machine height, various sensors perform residual check on the transport path. However, a case may occur in which the remaining ticket cannot be detected depending on the sensor position.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and relates to, for example, a cash processing system used in financial institutions and the like. A ticket number reading mechanism is provided at the entrance side, and the ticket number information matching algorithm that matches the exit and entrance ticket numbers at the exit side and the entrance side is adopted to solve the trouble at the time of bundle production and create bundles It is an object of the present invention to provide a cash processing system and a control method thereof that can improve the reliability (guaranteed number of sheets) at the time.

If the picked-up ticket is a normal ticket, it is sent to the bundle creation / temporary accumulation / bundle creation unit 103. If the ticket is abnormal (withdrawal rejection / ticket number cannot be read), the withdrawal rejection unit 105 Sent.

At this time, each entrance-side ticket number reading mechanism 10
The ticket number information is read at 2, 104 (Step 0).
4) The entry-side counting result (ticket number (for each sheet)) is stored in the ticket number information database (entrance-side information) on the magnetic disk 108 in Step 05.

In Condition 00, if the ticket is a normal ticket, the bundle creation unit counter is incremented (+1) in Step 06.

In Condition 00, if the ticket is an abnormal ticket, the withdrawal rejection count result (ticket number (for each ticket)) is obtained in Step 07, and Step 08
Then, the withdrawal reject count result (ticket number (each one)) is stored in a ticket number information database (exit reject information) on the magnetic disk 108.

At Step 06, the process proceeds to the next processing when the number of the bundle forming unit counter reaches 100 as a result of the increment of the bundle forming unit counter.
Returning to ep02, the process further proceeds to the bill removal process (C
condition01).

In the above-mentioned bill removal processing, 10 normal tickets are
If it is determined that 0 sheets have been stacked, the next Condi
In the ti sion 02, an entrance / exit ticket number information matching process is performed.

In the entrance / exit ticket number information matching process, a determination process is performed to determine whether or not the matching of the entrance / exit ticket information stored in the ticket number information database in Step 03 and Step 06 described above matches.

Here, if the matching of the incoming and outgoing ticket information is a normal process, the exit-side ticket information and the entrance-side ticket information (the temporary stacking / bundle creating unit 103 for bundle creation and the withdrawal reject unit 105) are Match by unit.

However, in the case of an abnormal process in which the matching of the incoming and outgoing ticket information is inconsistent, the number of the tickets to be taken out is different from the number of sheets 100 itself and the bundled temporary accumulation / bundle creating unit 103 or the withdrawal rejection. A ticket number that is not present in the unit 105 or has not been taken out is detected by the entrance-side ticket number reading mechanism 100, and the same ticket number exists as the ticket number obtained as a result of stacking (that is, the ticket number originally exists). Since there is no identical one, the possibility of a fake bill is high), the entrance-side ticket number cannot be read (confirmation of the ticket content of the withdrawal reject part) and the like are found out (Condit).

FIG. 4 shows an example of a data record for the ticket number information database on the magnetic disk.

The ticket number information database includes [readability section, exit-side ticket number information], [readability section, bundle creation temporary accumulation section / dispensing reject section, entrance-side ticket number].
Consists of

[0129] The exit-side ticket number information stores information on whether or not the ticket number could be read when the ticket was taken out of each rose safe, and the read ticket number.

[0130] The entrance side ticket number information includes information on whether or not the ticket number has been successfully read, and a temporary accumulation / withdrawal rejection section for bundle preparation (where the taken-out ticket is, This indicates whether the sheet has been transported to the stacking unit 103 or the withdrawal rejecting unit 105), and the read ticket number is stored.

By comparing these data (tables), it is possible to detect an abnormal number of sheets, mismatch of ticket numbers, or false bill detection.

That is, when there is no problem with the exit ticket number information (for example, there is no identical ticket number), the entrance ticket number information is compared.

(1) The number of sheets to be read by the bundle forming temporary stacking unit 103 is 100.

(2) The ticket number read by the bundle forming temporary stacking unit 103 is included in the exit-side ticket number information.

(3) There is no identical ticket number in the bundle creation temporary accumulation unit 103 and the withdrawal rejection unit 105.

(4) The ticket number read by the withdrawal rejecting unit 105 is included in the exit-side ticket number information.

(5) The number of sheets read by the bundle forming temporary stacking unit 103 and the dispensing rejection unit 105 matches the exit side.

(6) There is no entry / entrance-side ticket number information that could not be read. → If there is, it is necessary to carry out actual goods (ticket) confirmation guidance and the like.

In the present invention, as described above, the ticket number reading mechanism based on OCR or magnetic information is used,
By adopting the exit side and entrance side and this ticket number information matching algorithm (matching the ticket number), (1) Creating bundles for organizing or dispensing bundles from the stored safes (rose safes) one by one It is an effective method for improving the reliability (guaranteed number of sheets) at the time of creating a bundle by solving the occasional occurrence of a number mismatch event such as 99 sheets or 101 sheets.

(2) Since the check is performed at a location near the entrance, it is easy to identify a loss on the transport path.

(3) A fake bill can be found by detecting a plurality of identical bill numbers.

There is an advantage that:

[0143] In addition to the above, as a fake bill detecting method, the same ticket number can be detected at the time of deposit insertion by providing a ticket number reading mechanism in the deposit temporary accumulating portion.

In addition, of course, at the time of withdrawal, false rose detection is possible because each rose safe has an exit-side ticket number reading mechanism.

[0145]

Therefore, as described in detail above, according to the present invention, for example, the present invention relates to a cash processing system used in a financial institution or the like. By adopting a ticket number information matching algorithm that provides a ticket number reading mechanism to match the exit and entrance ticket numbers at the exit side and the entrance side, it solves problems at the time of bundle creation and It is possible to provide a cash processing system capable of improving reliability (guaranteed number of sheets) and a control method thereof.
