2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an example of this type of money deposit / withdrawal device, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-27628 filed by the present applicant.
The invention of Japanese Patent Publication No. 9 (known example) can be mentioned.

The gist of the invention of this publicly known example is a withdrawal method for dividing a banknote into withdrawals when an withdrawal amount exceeding one withdrawal limit is commanded, and the withdrawal limit is exceeded. Divide the withdrawal command amount into multiple accumulation command values within the withdrawal limit amount,
This is a dispensing method in which banknotes are sequentially counted and accumulated based on each accumulation instruction value, individually stored in the machine, and sequentially withdrawn.

By this dispensing method, the bills can be dispensed in a divided manner, but the purpose is to smoothly dispense the desired amount within the range of the physical dispensing capability of the dispensing port. That is.

Therefore, it was not possible to arbitrarily divide the total amount of withdrawal and to withdraw sequentially.

By the way, the operator who processes the withdrawal is not only the staff of the financial institution, but also the user in charge of payment, the person in charge of salary payment, etc. once receives the total amount of withdrawal, and then pays this out for each amount of payment. It is obvious that the labor and man-hours can be greatly reduced if the money can be automatically divided from the teller machine by dividing it into predetermined amounts of money rather than counting and dividing.

In this respect, the known inventions cannot meet such needs.

[0008]

The first problem to be solved by the present invention is to make a withdrawal by dividing an arbitrary number of withdrawals for each arbitrary amount of the total amount desired to be withdrawn. It is to provide what can be done.

Further, with respect to the withdrawal denomination, the withdrawal processing can be performed not only with a single denomination but with a plurality of denominations.

(2) When it is determined that the two or more required denominations and the amount groups divided by the means do not exist, the means collectively processes the withdrawal amount of money. A money withdrawal device.

In addition to the point (1) above, when the instruction to divide the required total amount of withdrawal into the required number of times is not given, the money with the required total amount of withdrawal can be collectively processed. it can.

(3) Furthermore, the difference between the total amount of withdrawal specified by the means and the total value of the divided amount calculated based on two or more required denominations and amount groups divided by the means is calculated. When there is a means for calculating and a balance that the difference calculated by the means is not zero,
Having means for calculating denomination and amount data for executing balance payment with the minimum number of combinations based on this remaining amount, said means, in accordance with two or more required denomination and amount groups divided, A monetary withdrawal apparatus, characterized in that after performing a withdrawal process by dividing into two or more groups, the remaining amount is withdrawn as one group based on the denomination and amount data calculated by the means.

In addition to the above point (1), the difference between the total amount of withdrawal required and the total value of the divided amounts calculated based on two or more required denominations and amount groups, That is, if there is a balance that is not instructed to be split,
This is automatically calculated, and based on this balance, the denomination and amount data for executing the balance payment with the smallest number of combinations are calculated, and this balance is finally processed as a group as a withdrawal process. Is what you can do. Therefore, when dividing the required total withdrawal amount into two or more required denominations and amount groups, it is not necessary to make adjustments in advance so that the total amount matches the required total withdrawal amount. Is.

(4) Further, a plurality of outlets for dispensing coins of some denominations that do not overlap each other are provided with detection means for detecting the presence or absence of dispensed coins. When a plurality of means are provided and the withdrawal processing is performed by dividing the money into two or more groups by the means, the required denomination and the amount of money divided into one group are withdrawn to the plurality of means. A coin withdrawing device, wherein after detecting that the withdrawn money has been taken out from the plurality of means by each detecting means, the money withdrawing process for the remaining groups is withdrawn.

In addition to the above points (1) and (3), the required denomination and the amount of money specified in one group are withdrawn to the outlet, and these are withdrawn from the outlet. When all of the facts are detected by the detecting means, the money for the remaining groups is dispensed, so that the division for each group becomes clear.

(5) Further, regardless of whether the money corresponding to the total amount of the withdrawal is collectively withdrawn or the withdrawal is divided into two or more groups, the withdrawal is performed. A money dispensing apparatus having a means for performing one authentication printing to the effect that the total amount of money has been dispensed.

In addition to any one of the above points (1) to (4), even if the withdrawal processing is performed by dividing into two or more groups, the total amount of withdrawal of money is withdrawn. By performing one authentication print to that effect, it is possible to eliminate the need for a plurality of authentication prints.

It recognizes that the (division instructing means) 116 has been operated. Thereby, control unit 610 recognizes that the data relating to the installment withdrawal has been input, that is, it is the installment withdrawal.

S10 ... Thereby, the control unit 610
Is the recognized total withdrawal data "1,000,000 yen"
Among them, the denomination and monetary data of the first group is 20 million yen notes (200,000 yen), and the denomination and monetary data of the second group is 30 million yen tickets (300, 300,
000 yen), and recognize that the denomination and amount data of the third group are 50 ten thousand yen tickets (500,000 yen).

S11 ... Next, the control unit 610 causes the total amount data of the recognized withdrawal data “1,000,000 yen” and the total value of the data relating to the divided withdrawal, that is, the amount value of the first group. 200,000 yen and the amount value of the second group 300,000 yen and the amount value of the third group 500,0
The difference between the total value of JPY 00 and JPY 1,000,000,
That is, the remaining amount confirmation means 621 determines whether or not there is a remaining amount that cannot be instructed to be divided with respect to the total withdrawal amount.

In this example, it is determined that there is no balance, and the process proceeds to step S13. If a negative balance is generated in this step S11, FIG.
Although it is not specifically shown in the figure, it is controlled that an error is issued and the process proceeds to the first step S1 on the assumption that either an input error of the total withdrawal amount or an input error of the split denomination and the amount of money has occurred. It is what

S13 ... Due to the above, the total withdrawal amount is 1,0
This means that the divided withdrawal data for three groups for 0,000 yen has been confirmed. First, according to the denomination and amount data of the first group, the withdrawal data according to the 20 million yen ticket data. Perform an action. Then, in this example, 20 pieces of 10,000-yen bills are dispensed to the dispensing port of the loose banknotes by the loose banknote depositing / dispensing unit 410.

S14 ... When it is confirmed that all the money to be dispensed (in this example, one denomination) has been dispensed to the dispense port, the control unit 610 is located at the dispense port. The shutter is opened so that the operator can take it out. In this case, the control unit 610 takes out the dispensed money by a detection unit such as a sensor provided at each dispensing port (in this example, only the dispensing port of the loose banknote depositing / dispensing unit 410). It is detected whether or not. Until the dispensed money is taken out from all the outlets, this step S1
When it is confirmed that these are taken out, the shutter is closed and the process proceeds to the next step S15.

S15 ... After completion of the divided withdrawal for one group, control unit 610 determines whether or not there is another group with unprocessed divided withdrawal, and the unprocessed divided withdrawal is performed. When there are remaining groups, the process returns to step S13, and the divided withdrawal for the remaining groups is performed for each group according to the above example. On the other hand, when no unprocessed divided withdrawal group remains, the process proceeds to the next step S7.

That is, in this example, next, the withdrawal operation is executed in accordance with the denomination and money data of the ten-thousand-yen yen bills of the second group, and the thirty-thousand-yen bills are disjointed banknotes. The deposit / withdrawal unit 410 dispenses money to the dispensing port of the loose banknote, and similarly to the above, the shutter at the dispensing port is opened, and the operator can take out the bill. Then, when it is detected that the dispensed money is taken out by the detection means such as a sensor provided at the dispensing port,
Close the shutter.

Here, since the denomination and amount data of the third group exist, the withdrawal operation is executed again in accordance with the denomination and amount data of the third group, that is, the fifty million yen note data. , 50 pieces of 10,000 yen bills
The banknote is dispensed to the dispensing port of the loose banknote by 10 and the shutter at the dispensing port is opened so that the operator can take out the bill. Then, when it is detected that the dispensed money is taken out by the detection means such as a sensor provided at the dispensing port, the shutter is closed.

S7 As described above, it is assumed that the total amount of money input from the keyboard 110 has been sequentially withdrawn in accordance with the indicated denomination and amount data group. The printer 510 automatically performs authentication printing on a withdrawal slip or the like. In addition, in the same manner as described above, the storage of the processing data in the storage unit 630, the update storage of the amount with the device, and the like are automatically performed, and the divided dispensing process is completed.

(5) Split withdrawal processing (there is a balance when the withdrawal withdrawal is designated) Next, based on the operator's withdrawal processing instruction operation, the total withdrawal amount is divided into two or more payment operations. In the case of money processing, in designating the divided withdrawal data, a case in which the balance with respect to the total amount of withdrawal occurs with respect to the total amount of the divided and specified amounts will be described with reference to FIG. .

In the following, as an example, a total of 2,000,
A case will be described in which 000 yen is divided and withdrawn in the following denomination and amount groups.
