Description

  In the present invention, for example, a predetermined number of banknotes divided for each processing unit (1 batch) by a partition card called a batch card are taken out and inspected, and at least a regular banknote and an unauthorized bank are inspected. The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing method for counting and dividing into tickets and partition cards.

  Conventionally, for example, a paper sheet processing apparatus (banknote processing apparatus) for inspecting banknotes sent from each branch of a bank and binding only reusable banknotes for reuse is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  In this type of paper sheet processing apparatus, for example, banknotes sent from each branch of a bank are set as one processing unit (1 batch), and one batch card is assigned to each batch, and banknotes of each batch are assigned. Stacked at the top end, a combination of banknotes and batch cards stacked in this way is stacked and stacked for a plurality of batches, and collectively set in the supply unit for processing.

  In this way, the media to be processed (banknotes or batch cards) that are collected and set for a plurality of batches are taken out and conveyed one by one, and the image on one side is read and inspected. As a result of the inspection, regular banknotes that are determined to be reusable are collected and bundled as a regular banknote for reuse.

  In addition, banknotes that are judged to be legitimate banknotes as a result of inspection, but are determined to be reusable due to reasons such as loss of defacement, should be revoked. It is sent to the department, cut and expired. Further, rejected tickets such as counterfeited tickets that are determined not to be regular banknotes as a result of the inspection are accumulated in a predetermined exclusion stacking unit.

  In addition to this, a batch card inserted between banknotes or two banknotes that have been removed are excluded and accumulated in the exclusion stacking unit. The tickets rejected by the reject stacking unit are taken out and confirmed by the operator after the completion of the mechanical processing, and are distributed to a predetermined processing unit by manual work.

  By the way, in such a paper sheet processing apparatus, normally, as shown in FIG. 12, the banknotes to be processed are packaged (packed) with a wrapping medium such as vinyl as a bundle of 1000 banknotes. And the label 2 which printed the supplier information etc. is stuck on the packaging medium. The label 2 usually needs to be stored until the counting and collation of the banknote is completed. Conventionally, the label 2 is visually controlled by an operator, and details thereof will be described below.

  First, as pre-processing, the operator A breaks the banknote bundle 1 and takes out 1000 banknotes, and the label 2 affixed on the sealed vinyl is a dedicated label storage box (label storage section). Put in.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13, operator A has a unique card number 3 composed of a plurality of digits, and a bar code 4 obtained by converting the card number 3 into machine-readable information. One batch card (partition card) 5 is taken out from the storage box.

  Next, the operator A records the card number 3 written on the batch card 5 on a memo paper and puts it in the label storage box containing the label 2. Next, the operator A attaches the batch card 5 to the banknote to be processed, sets the batch card 5 in the supply unit of the sheet processing apparatus, and performs the above-described processing.

  When the processing is completed, for example, an operator B different from the operator A takes out the batch card 5 and the rejection ticket from the exclusion stacking unit of the paper sheet processing apparatus. Next, the operator B reads the barcode 4 of the batch card 5 taken out from the rejection stacking unit by the barcode reader of the rejection ticket processing apparatus connected to the paper sheet processing apparatus through a communication line, and By inputting the number of rejected tickets, the count value of the processed banknotes is collated with the number set at the time of preprocessing.

If the count values match as a result of the collation, the operator B discards the label 2 in the label storage box on which the note paper with the card number 3 written on the batch card 5 is present. If the count values do not match, operator B stores label 2 in the label storage box with the note paper of card number 3 described in batch card 5 in another place, and the transaction described in label 2 By visually inspecting the destination information, etc., processing such as notifying the business partner of excess or deficiency of banknotes is performed.
JP 2002-334362 A

At the same time, in the conventional packaging label management described above, it is necessary to record which batch the label belongs to on the note paper. In order to dispose of the label later, a list of collation data is displayed on the rejection ticket processing apparatus, the operator visually searches for data that matches the batch card number recorded on the memo paper, and the count value is You need to see if they match.
As described above, the conventional label management places a heavy burden on the operator, and there is a problem that management mistakes are likely to occur.

  In addition, batch cards are taken one batch at a time from the batch card storage box, read with a barcode reader, and attached to banknotes to be processed. There is also a problem.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet processing method that can automate label management, reduce the burden on the operator, and eliminate management mistakes.

  The paper sheet processing method of the present invention is a paper sheet bundle in which a predetermined number of paper sheets are packaged as a bundle with a packaging medium, and a label on which predetermined information is recorded is provided on the packaging medium. Then, a plurality of processing media for one processing unit are obtained by removing the packaging medium and taking out a predetermined number of paper sheets, and stacking a partition card for partitioning each processing unit on the extracted predetermined number of paper sheets. Units are stacked and set in the supply unit, and the processing target media of the set plural processing units are taken out one by one in order, and the processing target media determined to be at least regular paper sheets based on the inspection results; In the paper sheet processing method for counting and classifying into a processed medium determined not to be a regular paper sheet and a processed medium determined to be a partition card, first, which are associated with one processing unit, Prepare a second divider card The second partition card, which is one partition card, is stored in the label storage unit in association with the label on the packaging medium removed from the paper sheet bundle, and the first partition card, which is the other partition card. Are stacked as a partition card for partitioning the predetermined number of paper sheets for each processing unit, set in the supply unit, and perform the division counting process.

  The paper sheet processing method of the present invention further includes the number of processed media determined to be the regular paper sheets counted and the number of processed media determined to be non-regular paper sheets. The total value and the number of processed sheets set in advance for the first partition card are collated to determine whether or not they match, and the collation result is stored in the storage means. A collation result of the first partition card corresponding to the second partition card stored in the label storage unit is retrieved from the storage means. If the retrieved collation results match, the second partition card and the second partition card are combined. The label stored in the label storage unit can be discarded, and the label stored in the label storage unit together with the second partition card cannot be discarded if the searched collation result does not match. It is characterized by that.

  According to the present invention, by managing labels in association with partition cards, label management can be automated, the burden on the operator can be reduced, and a paper sheet processing method can be provided that eliminates management mistakes.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 and 2 schematically show the configuration of a paper sheet processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 inspects banknotes (paper sheets) sent from branches of a plurality of banks, and binds only reusable banknotes for reuse. belongs to.

  1 and 2, the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 has a supply unit 12 for setting a plurality of banknotes in a stacked state with the batch card (partition card) 5 shown in FIG. On the surface of the batch card 5, a unique card number 3 composed of a plurality of digits as identification information and a bar code 4 obtained by converting the card number 3 into machine-readable identification information are recorded. Here, the thickness of the batch card 5 is set to be substantially the same as that of the banknote, for example.

  As a pre-process for setting the banknotes in the supply unit 12, the operator breaks the banknote bundle 1 as shown in FIG. 12 sent from one processing unit (batch), for example, each branch of the bank. A predetermined number (for example, 1000) of banknotes with the same denomination accumulated are taken out, one batch card 5 is stacked on the taken out predetermined number of banknotes, and a predetermined batch of the next batch is placed thereon. The number of banknotes and the batch card 5 are overlapped, and the banknote and the batch card 5 having the number of batches that can be set at one time are overlapped in the same manner. Here, the number of banknotes in each batch is not necessarily the same.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, the operator associates the barcode 4 of the batch card 5 inserted for each batch with the bank name, branch name, and bank note as data relating to the bank note of each batch. The denomination, number, etc. are entered. This data is input, for example, by a preprocessing device (not shown) connected to the paper sheet processing device 11 via a communication line such as a LAN. Thus, the batch data input at the time of preprocessing is used for collation with the counting result by the subsequent paper sheet processing apparatus 11.

  At the upper end of the supply unit 12, take out banknotes and batch cards 5 (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as processing target media) set in the supply unit 12 one by one from the upper end in the stacking direction. A portion 13 is provided. The take-out unit 13 includes a suction roller 14 that rotates while being in contact with the uppermost processing medium and generating a negative pressure. For example, the suction roller 14 functions to take out one processed medium every rotation, and operates to take out the processed medium at a constant pitch.

  On the downstream side of the take-out unit 13, a conveyance path 15 that conveys the medium to be processed taken out by the suction roller 14 is extended. A conveyance belt and a drive pulley (not shown) are disposed on the conveyance path 15, and the medium to be processed is conveyed at a constant speed through the conveyance path 15 by running the conveyance belt by a drive motor (not shown). Yes.

  An inspection unit 16 is provided on the conveyance path 15 extending from the take-out unit 13 to detect the characteristics of the medium to be conveyed and inspect the type of the medium to be processed, fouling loss, front and back, authenticity, and the like. Yes. The inspection unit 16 includes two image reading devices 17 and 18 that are arranged on both sides of the conveyance path 15 and read images on both sides of the medium to be conveyed. Each of the image reading devices 17 and 18 has, for example, a CCD camera as an image pickup means, reads the pattern on the surface of the banknote or the barcode 4 printed on the batch card 5 from the taken image, Detect the transport pitch.

  In addition, the inspection unit 16 includes a thickness inspection unit 19 that inspects the thickness of the medium to be processed that is conveyed along the conveyance path 15. The thickness inspection unit 19 basically detects two banknotes, but can also detect the overlap between the banknotes and the batch card 5.

In particular, the thickness inspection unit 19 can detect how many banknotes or batch cards 5 and banknotes overlap. At least three types of banknotes, one, two, three or more, can be distinguished.
In addition, the inspection unit 16 includes a counting device (not shown) that counts the number of banknotes, a memory (storage unit) (not shown) that stores images read by the image reading devices 17 and 18, and the like.

  For example, six gates 20 to 25 are sequentially arranged on the conveyance path 15 on the downstream side of the inspection unit 16. Each of the gates 20 to 25 is switched according to control by a control unit (not shown) based on the inspection result in the inspection unit 16 and guides the target medium to a predetermined processing unit.

  The gate 20 disposed immediately after the inspection unit 16 is provided at a position where the conveyance path 15 branches to the exclusion conveyance path 26, and is an exclusion ticket that is detected through the inspection unit 16 as not being a regular banknote, The inspection unit 16 is switched so as to guide the uninspectable ticket that could not be inspected and the batch card 5 to the reject conveyance path 26.

  At the end portion of the removal conveyance path 26, the removal ticket, the non-inspectable ticket, and the batch card remain in the posture taken out by the take-out portion 13, that is, without turning upside down (actually rotated 360 °). An exclusion stacking unit (exclusion unit) 27 that stacks 5 without changing the extraction order is provided. For example, the batch card 5 set and taken out from the supply unit 12 with the surface facing up is collected in the exclusion stacking unit 27 with the surface facing up.

  In addition to this, the exclusion stacking unit 27 includes an uninspectable ticket in which banknotes are overlaid, an uninspectable ticket in which banknotes and batch cards 5 are overlaid, a fake ticket that is determined not to be a regular banknote, and the like. Are accumulated.

  Further, at positions branched by the gates 21 to 24 provided along the conveyance path 15 on the downstream side of the gate 20, first to fourth stacking / binding portions (stacking portions) 28 to 31 (hereinafter referred to as “the following”) In some cases, the stacking / binding unit 32 may be collectively referred to as a stack). In the stacking / binding unit 32, only reusable genuine bills out of regular banknotes other than the rejected bills guided through the gate 20 are collected and bound.

  For example, the first and second stacking / binding sections 28, 29 are stacked with 100 sheets of regular bills with the surface facing up, and the third and fourth stacking / binding sections 30, 31 are stacked. , 100 genuine tickets with the back side up are collected and bundled. Specifically, after 100 sheets of the correct bills are collected in the stacking / binding unit 28 and then the 100 correct tickets are bound, the next 100 sheets of correct bills are stacked in the other stacking / binding unit 29. Accumulate. The correct bills bundled in the stacking / binding unit 32 in this manner are discharged out of the apparatus by a conveyor (not shown) or the like and are reused.

  The bank branch other than the rejected ticket guided through the gate 20 is not accumulated in the stacking / binding unit 32 at the position branched from the transport path 15 by the gate 25 arranged on the most downstream side. A cutting section 33 is provided for storing a banknote, that is, a legitimate banknote, which is judged to be non-reusable due to reasons such as fouling loss and is made invalid. Note that when the non-slip sheet cutting mode is not selected, the non-slip sheet is not conveyed to the cutting unit 33 but is stacked on the stacker 34 for stacking non-slip tickets.

  FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged view of the vicinity of the interface unit where the operator operates the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 described above. In this portion, an operation / display panel (display unit) 41 for receiving various operation inputs by the operator and displaying various operation guides for the operator is provided. The operation / display panel 41 includes a touch panel that detects an input of the button when the operator touches the displayed button. In addition to this, in the vicinity of the operation / display panel 41, a door 42 having a handle 42 a for opening and closing the banknote slot of the supply unit 12, and an outlet 43 for taking out the processing medium accumulated in the exclusion stacking unit 27. A numeric keypad 44 operated by the operator is provided.

  Next, the operation of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, a batch of processing media into which batch cards 5 are inserted for each batch is set in the supply unit 12 by the operator's manual work (step S1). In this case, the operator opens the door 42 and sets the medium to be processed in the supply unit 12. Thereafter, when the take-out unit 13 is driven, the media to be processed are taken out one by one from the top end to the transport path 15 (step S2). The medium to be processed taken out on the conveyance path 15 sequentially passes through the image reading devices 17 and 18 of the inspection unit 16, and the images on both sides are sequentially read (step S3).

  At this time, for example, when a plurality of media to be processed are taken out by the take-out unit 13, images on the surfaces of the media to be processed at both ends in the stacking direction are read by the image reading devices 17 and 18, respectively. For example, when the batch card 5 is taken out with two banknotes sandwiched, the images of the banknotes on both sides of the batch card 5 are read. As a matter of course, when only one bank note is normally taken out, the front and back images of the bank note are respectively read.

  The image read from the processing medium in this manner is temporarily stored in a memory (not shown) of the inspection unit 16 and displayed to the operator via the operation / display panel 41 as necessary. In the present embodiment, among the media to be processed taken out by the take-out unit 13, only the images of the media to be processed collected in the exclusion stacker 27 are stored in the memory. The image stored in the memory can be switched and displayed by a predetermined operation on the operation / display panel 41.

  Based on the images read by the image reading devices 17 and 18, the inspection unit 16 determines whether or not the medium to be processed is a regular bank note (step S4). If it is determined as a result of this determination that the banknote is a regular banknote, it is determined whether or not the banknote is a reusable genuine ticket (step S5).

  As a result of this determination, when the bank note is a reusable genuine note, the gate 20 is switched to the direction of the conveyance path 15 toward the stacking / binding unit 32. Then, any one of the gates 21 to 24 is switched in the direction of the stacking / binding unit 32, and the correct bill guided through the gate 20 is stacked on any of the stacking / binding units 32 (step). S6).

  In the present embodiment, for example, the first and second stacking / bundling units are used for the correct bills in which the front pattern is detected by one image reading device 17, that is, the correct bills conveyed with the surface facing up. The third and fourth stacks are collected on any one of 28 and 29, and the correct sheet whose front pattern is detected by the other image reading device 18, that is, the correct sheet conveyed with the back side up. -It is made to accumulate in any one of the binding parts 30 and 31.

  In this way, the front and back of the regular ticket are prepared. For example, when the first stacking / binding unit 28 is stacked with the correct bills on the surface, when 100 stacks of the first stacking / binding unit 28 reach 100 sheets, the 100 correct tickets are bound. At the same time, the collection of the correct bills with respect to the second stacking / binding unit 29 is started, and 100 sheets are alternately stacked and bound to the two stacking / binding units.

  As a result of the determination in step S5, if the banknote is a non-reusable banknote, the gate 25 is switched, the banknote being transported is guided to the cutting unit 33, and the banknote is cut and expired. (Step S7). In addition, the number of correct bills collected and bundled in Step 6 and the number of non-performing bills cut and expired in Step 7 are counted by a counting device of the inspection unit 16 and totalized by a control unit (not shown). It is registered in association with the batch data of FIG. 3 input by the operator during preprocessing.

  If the result of determination in step S4 is that the medium to be processed is not a regular bank note, the gate 20 is switched and the transport path 15 is connected to the reject transport path 26 (step S8). And the test | inspection part 16 judges whether the said to-be-processed medium is the batch card 5 (step S9). Here, the determination as to whether or not the processing target medium is the batch card 5 is normally determined from the image of the batch card 5. For example, the size of the batch card 5 is obviously larger than the banknote. Alternatively, the batch card 5 can be easily determined by coloring the batch card 5 in a color that does not exist on the banknote. In addition, the batch card 5 can be identified by holding a magnetic component not included in the banknote in the batch card 5 and detecting the magnetic component.

  As a result of the determination in step S9, if the target medium is not the batch card 5, that is, it is determined from any image read by the two image reading devices 17 and 18 that the target medium is not the batch card 5. Then, it is determined that the processing target medium is not a legitimate bank note, for example, a counterfeited rejected ticket, or two or more banknotes are determined to be overlapped, and are guided to the reject conveyance path 26. The media to be processed is collected as it is in the exclusion stacking unit 27 (step S10).

  If the processed medium is the batch card 5 as a result of the determination in step S9, the barcode 4 as the identification information is recognized from the image of the processed medium read by the image reading devices 17 and 18 (step S11). .

  As a result of recognition in step S11, when the barcode 4 on the surface of the target medium can be recognized (step S12), the batch card 5 guided to the exclusion transport path 26 is directly accumulated in the exclusion stacking unit 27. (Step S13). At this time, the start of processing of the next batch is determined, and the batch is switched (step S14).

  As a result of the recognition in step S11, when the barcode 4 on the surface of the processing target medium cannot be recognized (step S12), it is judged that the barcode 4 is erroneously recognized, or another banknote ( Alternatively, it is determined that the sheets are overlapped with each other, and the conveyance of the target medium is stopped and stopped on the rejection conveyance path 26 (step S15). In this way, the medium to be processed stopped on the removal conveyance path 26 is taken out and confirmed by the operator and processed manually.

Next, the packaging label management according to the present invention will be described.
First, two batch cards 5 associated with each other are prepared. In the present embodiment, for example, two batch cards 5 in which card numbers 3 (barcodes 4) registered in association with each other are recorded as described later are used, but the same card numbers 3 (bars) are used. Code 4) may be used as long as they are associated with each other. Here, for convenience of explanation, one batch card 5 is a first batch card 5a, and the other batch card 5 is a second batch card 5b.

  First, as pre-processing, the operator A breaks the banknote bundle 1 and takes out 1000 banknotes, and the label 2 affixed on the sealed vinyl corresponds to the second batch card 5b. And place it in a dedicated label storage box (label storage section).

  Next, the operator A inputs the number of banknotes to be processed for the first batch card 5a in a preprocessing device (not shown). That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, in a pre-processing device (not shown) connected to the paper sheet processing device 11 via a communication line, the barcode 4 of the first batch card 5a is read by the barcode reader ( In step S21), the number A (for example, 1000) of banknotes to be processed next is input (step S22), and the input number A is made to correspond to the read barcode value (that is, the card number). The data is recorded (stored) in the data storage device 6 (step S23). This is done for each batch.

  Next, the operator A attaches the first batch card 5a to the corresponding batch banknote, sets it in the supply unit 12, and performs the processing as described above. In this case, as described above, the number B of regular banknotes counted by the counting device of the inspection unit 16 (the number of correct tickets + the number of non-performing tickets, for example, 990) B is the first corresponding to the banknote. It is assumed that the data is recorded in the data storage device 6 in correspondence with the card number of the batch card 5a (recognized in step S11).

  When the processing is completed, for example, an operator B different from the operator A takes out the first batch card 5a and the rejection ticket from the exclusion stacking unit 27. Next, the operator B inputs the number of rejected tickets with respect to the first batch card 5a taken out from the reject stacking unit 27 in the rejected ticket processing apparatus (not shown), and performs count verification.

  That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, in the rejection ticket processing apparatus (not shown) connected to the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 via a communication line, the barcode 4 of the first batch card 5a is read by the barcode reader. (Step S31) Next, the number of rejected tickets (for example, 10) C taken out from the reject stacking unit 27 is input (Step S32), and a collation instruction is input (Step S33). The number of banknotes A and B having a card number corresponding to the barcode value (that is, the card number) is searched from the data storage device 6 (step S34), and an operation (count value comparison) of [A = B + C] is performed. This is performed (step S35).

  As a result of this calculation, if the count values match, that is, if [A = B + C] is established (step S35), the count match is displayed to the operator B on a display device (not shown) (step S36), and the count values do not match. In this case, that is, [A = B + C] is not satisfied (step S35), the count mismatch is displayed to the operator B on a display device (not shown) (step S37). Then, the calculation result (collation result) is stored in the data storage device 6 in association with the corresponding card number (step S38).

  When the rejection ticket process is completed, for example, an operator C different from the operator B takes out the second batch card 5b associated with the first batch card 5a from the label storage box and takes out the second batch card 5b. Use to manage the packaging label.

  That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9, in the rejection ticket processing device (not shown) connected to the paper sheet processing device 11 through a communication line, the barcode 4 of the second batch card 5b is read by the barcode reader. (Step S41), the collation result of the first batch card 5a having the card number corresponding to the read barcode value (that is, the card number) is retrieved from the data storage device 6 (Step S42). The collation result is judged (step S43).

  As a result of this determination, if the collation result is “count match”, the label discard possibility is displayed to the operator C by a display device (not shown) (step S44). Displayed to the operator C by the display device that does not (step S45).

  The operator C takes out the label 2 stored together with the second batch card 5b from the label storage box and discards it when disposable is displayed, and when the disposal impossible is displayed, the operator C displays the second batch card 5b. The label 2 stored together with the label is taken out of the label storage box, stored in another location, and the customer information indicated on the label 2 is visually inspected to notify the customer of the excess or deficiency of banknotes. Perform the following process.

Next, a card issuing device that automatically issues two batch cards 5 associated with each other will be described with reference to FIG.
The card issuing device 51 can set a large number of batch cards 5 shown in FIG. 13 and has a function of supplying the set batch cards 5 one by one. It has a bar code reader 53 for reading the code 4, a card discharge port 54 for discharging the batch card 5, an issue button 55 for inputting an issue command, and an information processing device 56 for processing the read result of the bar code reader 53. Is done.

In such a configuration, the operation of the card issuing device 51 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, when the operator sets a large number of batch cards 5 in the card supply unit 52 (step S51) and presses the issue button 55 (step S52), the card supply unit 52 sequentially barcodes the two batch cards 5. Supply to the reader 53 (step S53). The bar code reader 53 reads the bar code 4 from the two batch cards 5 supplied in order (step S54), and sends it to the information processing device 56. The information processing device 56 associates the barcode 4 (that is, the card number 3) of the two batch cards 5 and registers (stores) it in, for example, the association table provided in the data storage device 6 (step S55). Thereafter, the two batch cards 5 are discharged from the card discharge port 54 (step S56). Note that the association table in the data storage device 6 is referred to as necessary in the above-described collation processing or the like.

  Thus, according to the above-described embodiment, by managing labels and batch cards in association with each other, label management can be automated, the burden on the operator is reduced, and management mistakes are eliminated. In addition, label management can be performed at any time in parallel with the processing in the paper sheet processing apparatus or the rejection ticket processing apparatus.
