Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing method for discriminating paper sheets such as banknotes.

  The paper sheet processing system is connected to an inspection machine that inspects paper sheets, a rejection ticket processing machine that processes paper sheets that are judged as rejection tickets by the inspection machine, and the rejection ticket processing machine and the inspection machine. And a database server (DBS) for accumulating information from the inspection machine and the rejection ticket processing machine.

  In such a paper sheet processing system, paper sheets are processed by the following method.

  1) First, in the pre-processing (PS), an attendant inputs a batch card number and an account number, thereby associating the batch card with an account number and registering the information in the DBS.

  2) Next, banknotes, tickets and batch cards are flowed together in the cash processor, and the processed results are registered in the database server (DBS).

  3) Subsequently, the tray is completed in the cash processor.

  4) After that, pass the rejected ticket removed by the cash processing machine together with the batch card to the rejected ticket processing machine (RS) and carefully check whether the counterfeit ticket is included, and then check the batch card number and the number of rejected tickets. input.

  Since such processing takes time, various proposals have been made to shorten the processing time (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

  Further, conventionally, when inputting the number of rejected tickets, even if the number is 0, the batch card number of the rejected ticket and the number of rejected tickets are 0. On the other hand, if there is no reject ticket in the reject ticket processing machine (RS), it is possible to automatically collate zero reject tickets without input processing, but the input process is caused by an operation error. If not done, there is a possibility that unmatched batches will be automatically matched.

As described above, it is necessary to always carefully check whether there is a fake ticket when counting the number of rejected tickets in the RS, and it has been difficult to shorten the processing time of the rejected ticket.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet processing method that can reduce the processing time of an exclusion ticket and efficiently process paper sheets.

The method for processing paper sheets of the present invention includes an inspection step of inspecting paper sheets using an inspection machine,
A process of registering in the database server the number of excluded information excluded as inaccessible in the inspection machine,
When the number-of-exclusions information is zero, the database server automatically collates the number-of-exclusion-tickets information excluded from the inspection machine, and when the number-of-exclusions information is other than zero, the database Registering with the server;
Exclusion ticket processing step of reexamination of the exclusion ticket using an exclusion ticket processing machine,
Registering the information on the number of sheets processed by the rejection ticket processing machine, and comparing the number information of the number of rejection tickets and the information on the number of rejections.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the processing time of an exclusion ticket and to efficiently process paper sheets.

  FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a system configuration of a cash processing machine as an example of a paper sheet processing system that can be used in the present invention.

  The inspection machine main body 4 and the teller PC 6 are connected via USB to constitute the cash processing machine 1. The teller PC 6, the database server (DBS) 8, the preprocessing (PS) 7, and the rejection ticket processing (RS) 5 are connected via a LAN.

  The inspection machine main body 4 inspects the cash to be processed one by one, classifies it into a good ticket that can be redistributed, a rejected ticket that cannot be inspected, and a bad ticket that cannot be redistributed. Can be collected or cut into a ticket collecting section or an exclusion ticket collecting section.

  The teller PC 6 includes, for example, a main control unit that controls the entire teller PC 6, an operation unit that instructs operation, and a display unit that displays various processing contents.

  In the preprocessing 7, for example, a process of associating a batch card number for separating cash to be processed with an account number is performed.

  The rejection ticket processing machine (RS) 5 is determined to be a rejection ticket by the inspection machine body 4 and reexamines the rejection ticket accumulated in, for example, a rejection ticket cassette. The rejection ticket processor 5 includes, for example, a main body that processes the rejection ticket, a personal computer that controls the main body, and a display unit that displays processing contents. The inspection machine main body includes a detection unit similar to each detection unit of the inspection machine main body, for example, a conveyance state detection unit, a pass / fail detection unit, a ticket type detection unit, a thickness detection unit, and a comprehensive determination unit.

  The database server (DBS) 8 is used, for example, for storing various data and its processing program.

  Next, an example of the paper sheet processing method of the present invention using the paper sheet processing system will be described.

  FIG. 2 shows a flow of the cash processing system of FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the operation details of the staff in the paper sheet processing.

  First, in the pre-processing (PS) 7, the attendant inputs the batch card number and the account number, thereby associating the batch card number with the account number and registering the information in the database server (DBS) 8 (ST1 ).

  A banknote, a ticket, and a batch card are flowed together to the cash processing machine 1 for inspection, and the processed result is registered in the database server (DBS) 8 (ST2).

  At that time, the number-of-exclusions information determined to be excluded in the cash processing machine 1 by the true / false detection can be registered in the database server (DBS) 8.

  Next, the tray completion in the cash processor 1 is performed. The tray is a collection of several batches, and the subsequent reject ticket processing is performed in units of trays (ST3).

  The rejection ticket processing machine can re-examine the rejection ticket after previously inputting the number information of the number of rejection tickets excluded by the cash processing machine 1 as follows.

  First, let the database server (DBS) determine whether the number of exclusions determined to be excluded is zero (ST4), and display the following on the display unit of the rejection ticket processor as a result of the determination. Can be made.

  In FIG. 3, for example, as shown in account numbers 101, 102, and 103, if the number of cases determined to be excluded by true / false detection is not 0, the number of exclusions is displayed on the display unit in this case. Only the information is displayed, and the number information of the rejected ticket, the batch card number, the collation, and the RS processing number are displayed in blank. If there is a rejection ticket, there is a high possibility that there is a counterfeit ticket, so the attendant carefully checks whether a counterfeit ticket is included, and then, in the batch card number column, as shown in FIG. , 00000012, and 1, 2, and 3 are entered in the number-of-exclusion-tickets field (ST5).

  After such an input process, the rejected ticket is passed through the rejected ticket processing machine, and the obtained RS rejected ticket number information can be input (ST6).

  Subsequently, the clerk performs a collation operation on the number-of-exclusions information, the number-of-excluded-tickets information, and the information on the number of the RS-excluded-tickets (ST7), and displays the correct number-of-excluded-ticket-number information 1, 2, and 3 in the collation column. . Here, as for the account number 103, for example, the number-of-exclusions information is detected as two cases by duplication or the like, and there is actually an example where there are three pieces of excluded tickets, and the correct number is registered by the collation operation.

  In FIG. 3, for example, when the number of exclusions is 0, such as account numbers 103 and 104, automatic verification is performed (ST8), and the display shows the number of exclusions and 0 verifications, and the number of rejected tickets is displayed. The batch card number and the number of processed RSs can be displayed in blanks. At this time, the clerk simply checks the presence or absence of the rejected ticket (ST9), and does not need to register the number of rejected tickets by simply entering the batch card number 0000003100000014. For this reason, the collation process is simplified.

  The account number 105 shows an example in which the number-of-excluded ticket number field is blank although the number-of-excluded number information is detected as one due to, for example, an input error of a clerk. Finally, one correct number is registered.

  As described above, in the method according to the present invention, by using the number-of-exclusions information from the cash processing machine accumulated in the database server, the verification process when the number of exclusions is 0, the number-of-exclusions-ticket registration process, and the like Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required for the rejection ticket processing. Further, according to this method, it is possible to surely automatically collate only an account whose exclusion number information is zero. Furthermore, when this method is used, when the number of items excluded by true / false detection is other than 0, it is checked efficiently for false tickets, and if it is 0, it is efficiently eliminated by checking it easily. Ticket processing can be performed. Furthermore, with this method, even if an attendant forgets to input, it can be easily corrected.
