Migrate to If another transaction selection button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S1-7.

  S1-7, the main control unit 4 recognizing that a transaction other than the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction has been selected, executes the transaction process of the recognized transaction as usual, and after the transaction process ends, step S1-8 Migrate to

  In addition, the operation | movement when the cash transfer in the transfer transaction which is a banknote handling transaction is selected is mentioned later.

  S1-8, the execution of the transaction process is completed (including the case where the transaction process of the deposit transaction or the withdrawal transaction, which will be described later, is transferred through the connector E) or the storage state confirmation time in the above step S1-3 The main control unit 4 that has recognized the progress of the process confirms the storage state of the cassettes 14 and 15 based on the output signals of the storage state detection sensors 16a to 16d.

  S1-9, the main control unit 4 confirming the storage state of the cassettes 14 and 15, if the reject cassette 15 is not full, that is, if there is an empty space in the reject cassette 15 and there is a storage margin, step S1-17 Migrate to When the reject cassette 15 is in a full state, it is determined that a transfer destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes is necessary, and the process proceeds to step S1-10.

  S1-10, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the destination change processing for non-withdrawal banknotes is necessary reads out the recording contents of each storage cassette 14 from the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5, and records each of them. If the contents are initial values, it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18 (see step S1-14) is not set, and the process proceeds to step S1-11.

  When the set denomination of the storage cassette 14 is recorded in any of the recorded contents (see step S1-15), it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18 has already been set, and the process proceeds to step S1-1. Returning to the display screen of the operation display unit 6, a transaction selection screen in which the operation mode of the banknote handling transaction is kept as it is is displayed and stands by.

  S1-11, the main control unit 4 having determined that the temporary reject cassette 18 is not set, the process proceeds to step S1-12 if all of the storage cassettes 14 whose storage state has been confirmed are full. If any storage cassette 14 has a storage margin, the process proceeds to step S1-14.

  The main control unit 4 that has determined that S1-12, the reject cassette 15 and all the storage cassettes 14 are full sets the banknote handling transaction such as a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction to be stopped.

  S1-13, the main control unit 4 that has set the banknote handling transaction to stop transmits a notification that the cassettes 14 and 15 are full to a management terminal of a store (not shown), or a person in charge of the management terminal or Notifying staff members such as maintenance personnel, returning to step S1-1 and displaying on the display screen of the operation display section 6 that the banknote handling transaction has been canceled, and banknote handling transactions such as deposit transactions and withdrawal transactions The transaction selection screen with the changed operation mode in which the selection button is hidden is displayed and waited.

  On the other hand, the clerk who received the notification replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15 and replaces each full storage cassette 14 with a storage cassette 14 loaded with an appropriate number of banknotes of the set denomination. To enable normal operation of banknote handling transactions.

  S1-14, the main control unit 4, which has determined that the reject cassette 15 is full but the storage cassette 14 has a storage margin, stores the number of storage cassettes 14 in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 for each storage cassette 14. And the provisional rejection of the storage cassette 14 having the smallest storage number among all the storage cassettes 14 (in this embodiment, it is assumed that the storage cassette 14c is set to a thousand denominations of circulating denominations). The cassette 18c is set, and the feeding of banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18c is stopped. For this reason, in subsequent operation | movement, withdrawal of a thousand ticket is stopped until the setting of the temporary rejection cassette 18c is cancelled | released.

  S1-15, the main control unit 4 that has set the temporary reject cassette 18c records the current set denomination of the storage cassette 14c in the recording area of the storage cassette 14c in the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5. The fact that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set is recorded, and the storage cassette 14c is made to function as a temporary reject cassette 18c that stores banknotes that are not stored in the other storage cassettes 14 (storage cassettes 14a and 14b in this embodiment).

  S1-16, the main control unit 4 recording that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set shows a notification stating that the reject cassette 15 is full and that the storage cassette 14c has been set as the temporary reject cassette 18c. Change to the operation mode in which a message is sent to the management terminal of the store that is not to be notified and the staff is informed, and the process returns to step S1-1 to display on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 that the withdrawal with the thousand tickets has been cancelled. Display the selected transaction selection screen and wait.

  In step S1-14, the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 is one of the storage cassettes 14a and 14b set in the same denomination, for example, the storage cassette 14b is set as the temporary reject cassette 18b. When set, feeding from the temporary reject cassette 18b is stopped, but feeding from the storage cassette 14a is not stopped, so that it is possible to withdraw 10,000 and 1,000 tickets, and the operation mode is not changed.

  On the other hand, the clerk who received the notification replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15 and is set as a temporary reject cassette 18c when the customer is not using the automatic teller machine 1 or the like. The banknotes stored after the setting are extracted from the storage cassette 14c, and the normal operation of the banknote handling transaction is made possible.

  In this case, the temporary reject cassette 18c may be replaced with a storage cassette 14c loaded with an appropriate number of bills (thousands) of the set denomination.

  In step S1-17 and step S1-9, the main control unit 4 that has determined that there is a storage margin in the reject cassette 15 sets the bill handling transaction by normal operation.

  In S1-18, the main control unit 4 that has been set to enable the banknote handling transaction by the normal operation determines that the temporary reject cassette 18c is not set in the same manner as in Step S1-10, that is, as usual. When operating, it returns to step S1-1, displays a normal transaction selection screen on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, and waits. When it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, the process proceeds to step S1-19.

  S1-19, the main control unit 4 having determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, clears the recording area of each storage cassette 14 in the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5 to “0”, Canceling the setting of the temporary reject cassette 18c and resetting the set denomination of the storage cassette 14c to the original set denomination, returning to step S1-1, the normal transaction selection screen is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. Display and wait.

  Thereby, when the normal operation of the banknote handling transaction is made possible by exchanging the reject cassette 15 by a staff member, the operation of the banknote handling transaction can be automatically returned to the normal state.

  In this way, the transfer destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes of the present embodiment is executed.

  Hereinafter, the deposit transaction processing by the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  SA1-1, in step S1-5, the main control unit 4 that recognizes the selection of the deposit transaction and moves through the connector A1 prompts the user to insert a transaction card on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. A customer inserts a transaction card insertion screen into the card handling unit 7 in accordance with the transaction card insertion screen.

  The main control unit 4 that has recognized the insertion of the transaction card reads the card information such as the customer ID and customer account number recorded on the transaction card by the card handling unit 7 and temporarily stores the read card information in the storage unit 5. To do.

  SA1-2, the main control unit 4 that has read the card information displays a cash insertion screen on which a message for prompting the insertion of cash is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, and the deposit / withdrawal unit of the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 10 11 and the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal unit (not shown) of the coin deposit / withdrawal unit 9 are opened, and the customer inserts the banknote into the released deposit / withdrawal unit 11.

  In addition, in the following description, the customer demonstrates the case where only a banknote is thrown in into the deposit or withdrawal part 11. FIG.

  SA1-3, when the main control unit 4 recognizes the passage of a predetermined time by its clock function after an unillustrated insertion detection sensor provided in the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 detects the inserted banknote, Is determined, the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 is closed, and a bill-taking process in the depositing process by the bill depositing / dispensing unit 10 is executed.

  That is, the main control unit 4 discriminates bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 with the discrimination unit 12 in the same manner as the taking-in operation described with reference to FIG. 4, and based on the discrimination result, The identified normal banknotes are transported and accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 while counting the number of denominations in the taken-in banknote count area 5d of the storage unit 5, and abnormal banknotes other than genuine bills are stored in the deposit / withdrawal unit 11. When it is transported and returned to the customer and all the bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 have been taken in, the process proceeds to step SA1-4.

  SA1-4, the main control unit 4 that has finished the process of taking in the inserted banknotes, collects the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 based on the number of denominations of the banknotes counted in the banknote counting area 5d. The total amount of money is calculated, and on the display screen of the operation display section 6, a payment amount confirmation screen displaying a confirmation button and the like for instructing confirmation of the calculated total amount and payment amount is displayed, and the customer displays the received payment amount. Confirm the amount and press the confirm button.

  SA1-5, the main control unit 4 having determined that the deposit amount has been confirmed by pressing the confirmation button, executes a transaction process for the deposit transaction.

  That is, the main control unit 4 creates a deposit transaction message with the confirmed deposit amount attached to the card information of the transaction card temporarily stored in the storage unit 5, and transmits it to the host computer 2 via the communication line 3. The host computer 2 that has received the payment transaction message specifies the customer information of the customer based on the attached card information, adds the payment amount to the specified customer account, updates the account balance, and updates the account. Create a transaction end message with a message indicating the end of the transaction.

  Then, the host computer 2 transmits a transaction end message to the automatic teller machine 1 of the transmission source via the communication line 3, and the main control unit 4 that has received this terminates the communication process of the deposit transaction and performs step SA1- Move to 6.

  SA1-6, the main control unit 4 that has finished the communication process of the deposit transaction, the deposited banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13 in order to execute the storage process of the confirmed deposited banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13 Is fed to the transport path 17e by the separating and feeding mechanism, transported to the discrimination section 12 via the transport path 17c, and the denomination of the deposited banknote transported by the discrimination section 12 is discriminated.

  SA1-7, the main control part 4 which discriminate | determined the money type etc. of the deposited banknote discriminate | determined, When the discriminated banknote is a banknote of a denomination (ten thousand tickets or thousand tickets), it transfers to step SA1-8. If the identified banknote is not a circulation denomination banknote, that is, a non-withdrawal banknote, a non-circular denomination deposited banknote, or a reject banknote, or a reject banknote (denomination type banknote, conveyance abnormality) (Banknote), the process proceeds to step SA1-14.

  SA1-8, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the identified deposited banknote is a circulation denomination banknote, checks the storage state of each storage cassette 14 based on the output signals from the storage state detection sensors 16a to 16c. .

  SA1-9, the main control unit 4 confirming the storage state of each storage cassette 14, the set denomination of each storage cassette 14 from the set denomination storage area 5a of the storage unit 5, and each storage cassette from the storage number count area 5c. The other 14 stored numbers are read out, and the process proceeds to Step SA1-10.

  SA1-10, the main control unit 4 that has read the stored number of each storage cassette 14 and their set denominations, corresponds to the identified circulation denomination with reference to the read set denominations of each storage cassette 14 If there are a plurality of storage cassettes 14 in which the set denominations are set (in this embodiment, the storage cassettes 14a and 14b in the case where the identified circulation denominations are 10,000 tickets correspond), step SA1-. 11

  When there is one storage cassette 14 in which the set denomination corresponding to the identified circulation denomination is set, the process proceeds to step SA1-12.

  SA1-11, the main control unit 4 having determined that there are a plurality of storage cassettes 14 set to the identified circulation denominations, the storage cassettes 14 (in this embodiment, the storage cassette 14a, 14b), the storage cassette 14 having a small storage number (in this embodiment, the storage cassette 14a) is determined as the transport destination, and the process proceeds to step SA1-13.

  SA1-12, the main control unit 4 having determined that there is one storage cassette 14 corresponding to the identified circulation denomination, the storage cassette 14 corresponding to the identified circulation denomination (in this embodiment, identification) The storage cassette 14c) in the case where the circulated denomination is a thousand ticket is determined as the conveyance destination of the identified circulated denomination banknote, and the process proceeds to step SA1-13.

  SA1-13, the main control unit 4 having determined the transport destination of the banknote of the circulation denomination confirms the storage state of the storage cassette 14 (including the temporary reject cassette 18c) determined as the transport destination. In the case of the full state, that is, when it is determined that the banknote of the circulation denomination is an excessive banknote, the process proceeds to step SA1-14. When there is a storage margin in the storage cassette 14, the process proceeds to step SA1-17.

  SA1-14, the deposited banknote transported is a non-withdrawal banknote (a non-circulating denominated banknote discriminated from 5,000, 2,000, or reject banknote (denomination type banknote, transport abnormal banknote)). The main control unit 4 that has determined whether or not the banknote of the circulation denomination is an excess banknote determines that the temporary reject cassette 18c is not set in the same manner as in step S1-10, that is, as usual. When the operation is performed, the process proceeds to step SA1-15. If it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, the process proceeds to step SA1-16.

  SA1-15, the main control unit 4 having determined that the normal operation is performed determines the transfer destination of the non-withdrawal banknotes or excess banknotes as the reject cassette 15 and proceeds to step SA1-17.

  SA1-16, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the temporary reject cassette 18 is set determines the transport destination of the non-withdrawal banknote or excess banknote as the temporary reject cassette 18c, and proceeds to step SA1-17. .

  SA1-17, the main control unit 4 that has determined the transport destination of the identified deposited banknote transports and stores the banknote to the determined transport destination.

  That is, when the temporary reject cassette 18c is not set, the main control unit 4 conveys and stores the deposited banknotes discriminated as ten thousand tickets to the storage cassette 14a through the transport paths 17b, 17g, and 17i. Deposited banknotes identified as "" are transported to the storage cassette 14c via the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k and stored (see the thick solid line shown in FIG. 5), 5,000, 2,000, or reject banknotes (denominations). Non-withdrawal banknotes or excess banknotes identified as unknown banknotes or abnormally transported banknotes are transported to the reject cassette 15 by the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17m (see the thick broken lines shown in FIG. 5).

  Further, when the temporary reject cassette 18 is set, the main control unit 4 transports and stores the deposited banknotes discriminated from ten thousand tickets to the storage cassette 14a as described above, as shown in FIG. (Refer to the thick solid line shown in FIG. 10), the deposited banknotes discriminated from the thousand bills are transported and stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c) by the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k, and are not withdrawn. Deposited banknotes or excess banknotes discriminated from banknotes (5,000, 2,000, or reject banknotes (declared banknotes, abnormally transported banknotes)) are transported to temporary reject cassette 18c by transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k. (See the thick broken line shown in FIG. 10).

  In this case, when storing the deposited banknotes in the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 adds the number of stored sheets to the stored number of stored storage cassettes 14 by the stored number counting area 5 c of the storage unit 5, and rejects it. When the deposited bill is stored in the cassette 15 or the temporary reject cassette 18c, the number of stored bills is added to the count number of the reject cassette 15 or the temporary reject cassette 18c in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counted.

  SA1-18, the main control unit 4 that has finished storing one deposited banknote paid out from the temporary storage unit 13 confirms an output signal from a residual detection sensor (not shown) of the temporary storage unit 13, and sends it to the temporary storage unit 13. If the deposited banknote remains, the process returns to step SA1-6 to execute the storage process for the next deposited banknote.

  When no deposited banknotes remain in the temporary storage unit 13, that is, when all the deposited banknotes have been stored, it is determined that the transaction process of the deposit transaction has ended, and step S1-8 in FIG. Migrate to

  In this way, the deposit transaction processing by the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment is executed.

  In the following, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, the withdrawal transaction process by the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described according to the steps indicated by SB1.

  In step SB1-1, in step S1-6, the main control unit 4 that recognizes the selection of the withdrawal transaction and moves through the connector B1 displays the transaction card insertion screen in the same manner as in step SA1-1. Then, the card information of the inserted transaction card is read, and the read card information is temporarily stored in the storage unit 5.

  SB1-2, the main control unit 4 which has read the card information displays a password input screen displaying a message to prompt input of a password on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, and the customer inputs the password To do.

  SB1-3, the main control unit 4 that has recognized the entered PIN number displays a withdrawal amount input screen on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 that displays a message for prompting the input of the withdrawal amount. Enter the withdrawal amount.

  SB1-4, the main control unit 4 recognizing that the withdrawal amount has been input is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 to instruct that the input withdrawal amount and withdrawal amount have been confirmed. A withdrawal amount confirmation screen displaying a “confirm” button or the like is displayed, and the customer confirms the displayed withdrawal amount and presses the “confirm” button.

  SB 1-5, the main control unit 4 that has recognized the withdrawal amount by pressing the confirmation button executes a communication process for the withdrawal transaction.

  That is, the main control unit 4 creates a withdrawal transaction message with the PIN number and withdrawal amount input in the card information of the transaction card temporarily stored in the storage unit 5, and this is sent via the communication line 3. The host computer 2 that has transmitted to the host computer 2 and has received the withdrawal transaction message identifies the customer information of the customer based on the attached card information, and identifies the identified customer information PIN and the transmitted PIN. If the PINs match, the customer is authenticated, the withdrawal amount is withdrawn from the specified customer's account, the account balance is updated, and a transaction end message is sent with a message that the account has been updated. create.

  Then, the host computer 2 transmits a transaction end message to the automatic teller machine 1 as a transmission source via the communication line 3, and the main control unit 4 that has received the message ends the communication process of the withdrawal transaction, The process proceeds to SB1-6.

  SB1-6, the main control part 4 which finished the transaction process of the withdrawal transaction stores the banknote of the denomination constituting the withdrawal amount in order to execute the withdrawal process of the withdrawal banknote to be paid to the customer. The separation and accumulation mechanism of the cassette 14 is fed out to the transport path 17 and transported to the discrimination unit 12, and the denomination and the like of the banknotes transported by the discrimination unit 12 are discriminated (see the thick broken line shown in FIG. 6).

  In this case, when the main control unit 4 pays out banknotes from the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 subtracts the counted number from the stored number of the storage cassette 14 by the stored number count area 5 c of the storage unit 5 and counts it.

  SB1-7, the main control part 4 which discriminate | determined the money type etc. of the conveyed banknote corresponded to the set money type (circulation denomination) of the banknote with which the discriminated money was a circulation denomination, ie, the feeding cassette 14 of a delivery origin. In this case, the process proceeds to step SB1-8. If the identified banknote is not a banknote of a denomination, that is, a banknote of a non-recycling denomination that is a non-withdrawal banknote (2,000 or 5,000 banknotes mixed due to a mistake during loading) or a reject banknote (denomination unknown) In the case of a banknote, a conveyance abnormal banknote), or the different denomination banknote which does not correspond to the set denomination of the storage cassette 14 of the feeding origin, it transfers to step SB1-9.

  SB1-8, the main control unit 4 that has determined the identified banknote as the withdrawal banknote constituting the withdrawal amount, performs the withdrawal banknote in the same manner as the withdrawal operation described with reference to FIG. 11 and then accumulated (see the thick solid line shown in FIG. 11), the process proceeds to step S1-12.

  SB1-9, when the main control unit 4 that has determined the identified banknote as a non-withdrawal banknote determines that the temporary reject cassette 18c has not been set in the same manner as in step S1-10, that is, normally When the operation is performed as described above, the process proceeds to step SB1-10. If it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, the process proceeds to step SB1-11.

  SB1-10, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the normal operation is being carried conveys the non-withdrawal banknote or the different denomination banknote to the reject cassette 15 via the conveyance paths 17c, 17n, and 17m. (See the thick broken line shown in FIG. 6), and the process proceeds to step SB1-12.

  In this case, when storing the banknotes in the reject cassette 15, the main control unit 4 adds the number of times stored in the count number of the reject cassette 15 by the storage number count area 5 c of the storage unit 5 and counts it.

  The main control unit 4 that has determined that the SB 1-11 and the temporary reject cassette 18c are set conveys the non-withdrawal banknote or the different denomination banknote to the temporary storage unit 13 via the transport paths 17c and 17d. Are collected (see the thick broken line shown in FIG. 11), and the process proceeds to Step SB1-12.

  SB1-12, the main control part 4 which finished collecting one withdrawal banknote fed out from the storage cassette 14 confirmed the amount of the banknote accumulated in the depositing / withdrawing part 11, and the amount of the accumulated banknote was input. If it is less than the withdrawal amount, the process returns to step SB1-6 to execute the withdrawal process for the next withdrawal banknote.

  When the amount of banknotes accumulated in the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 matches the withdrawal amount, that is, when the collection of all the dispensed bills into the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 is completed, the process proceeds to step SB1-13.

  SB1-13, the main control unit 4 that has finished collecting the withdrawal banknotes into the depositing / withdrawing unit 11 creates print data based on the transaction details, etc., and sends this to the card handling unit 7 to print the statement slip. Then, on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, a cash receipt screen displaying cash, a transaction card, a statement for prompting receipt of the statement slip, etc. is displayed, and the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 is opened to pay out to the customer. At the same time, the transaction card and statement slip are discharged from the card handling unit 7.

  Then, the main control unit 4 confirms that the customer has received them, closes the shutter of the deposit / withdrawal unit 11, and proceeds to Step SB1-14.

  SB1-14, the main control unit 4 confirming that the customer has received the withdrawal banknote, etc., confirms an output signal from a residual detection sensor (not shown) of the temporary storage unit 13, and there is a banknote in the temporary storage unit 13. If yes, the process proceeds to step SB1-15.

  If no banknotes remain in the temporary holding unit 13, the end of the transaction process of the withdrawal transaction is determined, and the process proceeds to step S1-8 in FIG.

  In step SB1-15 and step SB1-11, the main control unit 4 that has recognized that the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 exist because the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, A movement process for non-withdrawal banknotes during the withdrawal process is executed.

  That is, the main control unit 4 collects banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 (non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes, denomination banknotes, abnormally transported banknotes, and different denomination banknotes) Are sequentially delivered to the transport path 17e by the separating and feeding mechanism, transported to the discrimination section 12 via the transport path 17c, and transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, 17k regardless of the discrimination result in the discrimination section 12. Thus, it is transported and stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c (see the thick solid line shown in FIG. 12).

  In this case, when the banknote is stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c, the main control unit 4 adds the number of times stored in the count number of the temporary reject cassette 18c by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counts it.

  Then, the main control unit 4 that has finished storing the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 into the temporary reject cassette 18c determines the end of the transaction process of the withdrawal transaction, and the step S1 of FIG. Move to -8.

  In this way, the withdrawal transaction process by the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment is executed.

  In addition, when the banknote handling process by the automatic teller machine 1 of a present Example is selected as the bank transfer for transfer transactions, when the banknote for cash transfer is thrown into the deposit or withdrawal part 11, it will show in FIG. In the same manner as the depositing process and the storing process, the inserted bill is stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c when the storage cassette 14, the reject cassette 15, or the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, and change is required. In such a case, the change banknotes are accumulated in the deposit / withdrawal unit 11 and paid out to the customer in the same manner as the withdrawal process and the movement process shown in FIG. 9, and the non-withdrawal banknotes are stored in the reject cassette 15 and the temporary reject cassette 18c. If it is set, it is stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c.

  As described above, in the banknote processing by the main control unit 4 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the reject cassette 15 becomes full, the storage cassette 14c having the minimum storage number is changed to the temporary rejection cassette 18c. In the storage process in the deposit process, the transport destination of non-withdrawal banknotes is not fixed to the reject cassette 15 but is transported and stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c set as the transport destination of non-withdrawal banknotes, In the withdrawal process, non-withdrawal banknotes such as reject banknotes are temporarily accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13 and, at the end of the withdrawal process, a temporary reject set as a transport destination for non-withdrawal banknotes by the movement process. Since the cassette 18c is transported and stored, if the storage cassette 14 has a storage margin at the time when the reject cassette 15 becomes full, the cassette 18c can be recharged. Even if the exchange of the reject cassette 15 or the removal of the banknote from the reject cassette 15 is not performed, it is not necessary to stop the banknote handling transaction, and the transaction by the automatic teller machine 1 can be automatically continued. The operating efficiency of the automatic teller machine 1 can be improved.

  In addition, when the reject cassette 15 becomes full, the temporary rejection cassette 18 is set and the attendant is notified that the transaction has been automatically continued, so the usage status of the automatic teller machine 1 and the availability of the attendant In consideration of the above, it becomes possible to replace the reject cassette 15 and the like in a situation that does not bother the customer of the automatic teller machine 1.

  Further, a set denomination change recording area is provided to record the setting of the temporary reject cassette 18c, and when the full state of the reject cassette 15 is canceled, the set denomination of the storage cassette 14c set in the temporary reject cassette 18c is set. Since the original set denomination is automatically reset, the reject cassette 15 is in a full state simply by exchanging the reject cassette 15, replacing the temporary reject cassette 18c, or removing the bills stored after setting. It is possible to return to the normal operation state before becoming.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the temporary storage unit that accumulates the banknotes that are inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit and discriminated from the normal banknotes, and the plurality of storage cassettes that store the banknotes using the circulation denomination as the set denomination In the automatic teller machine having a banknote depositing / withdrawing unit having a reject cassette that stores banknotes not stored in the storage cassette, when the storage state of the reject cassette is confirmed, the storage state of the reject cassette is full Sets the minimum number of storage cassettes among the storage cassettes as a temporary reject cassette, and if a temporary reject cassette is set during the storage process of the deposit process, the normal banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit are stored. The banknotes identified as non-withdrawal banknotes and excess banknotes are stored in a temporary rejection cassette, and temporary rejection is made during the withdrawal process. When set, banknotes identified as non-withdrawal banknotes and different denomination banknotes are temporarily accumulated in the temporary holding unit, and the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit are temporarily rejected at the end of the withdrawal process. Banknote handling with deposit and withdrawal of banknotes without stopping the banknote handling transaction even if the reject cassette becomes full in banknote handling transactions such as deposit transactions and withdrawal transactions. It is possible to continue the transaction automatically and continue the transaction by the automatic teller machine, and to improve the operating efficiency of the automatic teller machine.

  In addition, when the waiting time when the initial screen is displayed passes the specified time, the storage state of the reject cassette is confirmed, and the checked storage state of the reject cassette is not full and a temporary reject cassette is set By resetting the set denomination of the storage cassette set as the temporary reject cassette to the original set denomination, the clerk can change the reject cassette and remove the banknotes stored after the temporary reject cassette is changed or set. It is possible to return to the normal operation state before the reject cassette becomes full simply by performing the operation.

  Furthermore, by confirming that the reject cassette is stored in a full state and setting a temporary reject cassette, a notification that the temporary reject cassette has been set is transmitted, so that the automatic teller machine can Considering the usage situation and the availability of the staff, it is possible to easily replace the reject cassette or the like in a situation that does not bother the customers of the automatic teller machine.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. Note that parts similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In the storage unit 5 of the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the transaction processing program, the banknote processing program, and the reject cassette 15 similar to those of the first embodiment are full, Business processing comprising an application program or the like having a function of executing a destination change process for non-withdrawal banknotes, etc., by setting the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 as a temporary reject cassette 18 and changing the destination for non-withdrawal banknotes etc. An execution program is stored in advance, and each functional unit of the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment is formed by the steps of the business process execution program executed by the main control unit 4.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 stores a storage state confirmation time that is set in advance as in the first embodiment, and stores the set denomination storage area 5a, the set denomination change recording area 5b, and the storage in the same manner as in the first embodiment. A sheet count area 5c and a captured banknote count area 5d are secured in advance.

  The set denomination of the present embodiment is set in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 4).

  In the following, using the flowchart shown in FIG. 13, according to the step shown by S <b> 2 in FIG. 13, transaction processing of the banknote handling transaction of this embodiment and conveyance of non-withdrawal banknotes when the reject cassette 15 becomes full The destination change process will be described.

  Since the operations of Steps S2-1 to S2-13 of the present embodiment are the same as the operations of Steps S1-1 to S1-13 of Embodiment 1, the description thereof is omitted.

  In S2-14, the main cassette 4 that has determined that the reject cassette 15 is full, but the storage cassette 14 has a storage margin, is stored in each storage cassette 14 in the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5. The set denomination and the number of stored cassettes 14 in the storage count area 5c are read out. If there is a storage cassette 14 set to the same denomination, the process proceeds to step S2-16. If there is no storage cassette 14 set to the same denomination, that is, if the set denomination of each storage cassette 14 is different, the process proceeds to step S2-15.

  In step S2-15, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the set denominations of the storage cassettes 14 are different from each other is the same as in step S1-14 in the first embodiment. 14 is set in the temporary reject cassette 18, the feeding of banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18 is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S2-17.

  S2-16, the main control unit 4 having determined that the storage cassette 14 set to the same denomination exists, the storage cassette 14 of the same denomination (in this embodiment, the storage cassette 14a, 14b), the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 (referred to as storage cassette 14b in this embodiment) is set as the temporary reject cassette 18b, and the feeding of banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18b is stopped, and step S2 is performed. Move to -17. For this reason, in the subsequent operation, it becomes possible to withdraw 10,000 tickets from the storage cassette 14a and 1000 tickets from the storage cassette 14c.

  S2-17, the main control unit 4 that has set the temporary reject cassette 18b records the current set denomination of the storage cassette 14b in the recording area of the storage cassette 14b of the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5. The fact that the temporary reject cassette 18b has been set is recorded, and the storage cassette 14b is made to function as a temporary reject cassette 18b that stores bills that are not stored in the other storage cassettes 14 (storage cassettes 14a and 14c in this embodiment).

  S2-18, the main control unit 4 recording that the temporary reject cassette 18b has been set shows a notification stating that the reject cassette 15 is full and that the storage cassette 14b has been set as the temporary reject cassette 18b. It transmits to the management terminal of the store which does not carry out, it notifies a staff, returns to step S2-1, displays the normal transaction selection screen on the display screen of the operation display part 6, and waits. In this case, since the ten thousand and thousand tickets can be withdrawn in this embodiment, the operation mode of the automatic teller machine 1 is not changed.

  In step S2-15, when the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 among all the storage cassettes 14, for example, the storage cassette 14c, is set as the temporary reject cassette 18c, the feeding from the temporary reject cassette 18c is stopped. Therefore, on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, a transaction selection screen in which the operation form displaying the wording that the withdrawal by the thousand tickets is stopped is displayed.

  On the other hand, the clerk who received the notification replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15 when the customer is not using the automatic teller machine 1, and is set as a temporary reject cassette 18b. The banknotes stored after setting are removed from the storage cassette 14b, and the normal operation of the banknote handling transaction is made possible.

  In this case, the temporary reject cassette 18b may be replaced with a storage cassette 14b loaded with an appropriate number of bills of set denominations (ten thousand tickets).

  The subsequent operations from Steps S2-19 to S2-21 are the same as the operations from Steps S1-17 to S1-19 of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  Since the operations of the deposit transaction process and the withdrawal transaction process of the present embodiment are the same as the deposit transaction process (FIG. 8) and the withdrawal transaction process (FIG. 9) of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. .

  In this case, in the storage process of the deposit process, the main control unit 4 that has determined that there are a plurality of storage cassettes 14 set for the identified denominations (ten thousand tickets), the storage cassette 14b is a temporary rejection cassette 18b.

  In the following, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 16, the withdrawal transaction process by the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described according to the steps indicated by SB4.

  In step SB4-1 and step S4-6, the main control unit 4 that recognizes the selection of the withdrawal transaction and moves through the connector B4 performs the transaction card in the same manner as in step SA1-1 of the first embodiment. An insertion screen is displayed, the card information of the inserted transaction card is read, and the read card information is temporarily stored in the storage unit 5.

  Since the subsequent operations from Step SB4-2 to SB4-14 are the same as the operations from Step SB1-2 to SB1-14 of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  In step SB4-15 and step SB4-11, the main control unit 4 that has recognized that the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 exist because the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, A sorting and storing process for non-withdrawal banknotes during the withdrawal process is executed.

  That is, the main control unit 4 collects banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 (non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes, denomination banknotes, abnormally transported banknotes, and different denomination banknotes) Are sequentially fed to the transport path 17e until the remaining detection sensor (not shown) of the temporary storage unit 13 detects no remaining banknotes, and transported to the discrimination unit 12 via the transport path 17c. The type of banknote conveyed by the unit 12 is identified, and the identified banknote is a circulation denominated banknote (the banknote that has been identified as a transport abnormal banknote and accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 when the banknote is identified in step SB4-6) However, the banknotes normally separated by the temporary holding unit 13 and normally denominated in the re-discrimination in the discrimination unit 12 and the banknotes that have been distinguished from the denomination type banknotes and accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13 are At twelve In the case of banknotes that have been successfully denominated in discrimination, and different denomination banknotes (in this embodiment, it is assumed to be 10,000 tickets), the 10,000 tickets are the steps SA1-8 to SA1-11 in the first embodiment. Similarly, a storage cassette 14 (referred to as storage cassette 14a) with a small number of stored sheets is determined as a transport destination, and if there is a storage margin in the storage cassette 14a, the storage cassette 14a is transported by the transport paths 17b, 17g, and 17i. (Refer to the thick solid line shown in FIG. 17), and the re-discrimination result in the discrimination unit 12 is a non-withdrawal banknote (mixed non-circular denomination banknote, reject banknote (denomination unknown banknote, transport abnormality) Banknotes)) and banknotes identified as circulating denominations, are transported to the temporary rejection cassette 18c by the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k and stored (see the thick broken line shown in FIG. 17). ).

  In this case, when the main control unit 4 stores banknotes in the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 counts the stored number of the storage cassette 14 by adding the number stored in the storage number count area 5 c of the storage unit 5, and temporarily rejects it. When the non-withdrawal banknotes are stored in the cassette 18c, the number of stored bills is added to the count number of the temporary reject cassette 18c by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counted.

  And the main control part 4 which finished storing in the storage cassette 14 or the temporary rejection cassette 18c of the banknote integrated | stacked on the temporary storage part 13 determines completion | finish of the transaction process of payment | withdrawal transaction, FIG.

When the banknote of the circulation denomination is discriminated, it is transported and stored in the storage cassette 14 in which the denomination is set. The bill handling transaction can be automatically continued while suppressing a decrease in the number of stored bills of the circulating denomination after the reject cassette 15 becomes full.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as in the first embodiment, in the withdrawal process after the reject cassette becomes full, the bills once accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 are discriminated. Even if the reject cassette becomes full by transporting and storing banknotes that have been identified as circulating denominations by re-discrimination by the department to the storage cassette in which the denomination is set as the set denomination The bill handling transaction can be automatically continued while suppressing a decrease in the number of stored bills of the circulation denomination.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. 18 thru | or FIG. Note that parts similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In the storage unit 5 of the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the transaction processing program, the banknote processing program, and the reject cassette 15 similar to those of the first embodiment are full, The storage cassette 14 having the smallest number of stored sheets is set as the temporary reject cassette 18, the stored banknote is transferred to another storage cassette 14 of the same denomination, and the transport destination of non-withdrawal banknotes is changed. A business process execution program including an application program having a function of executing a transfer destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes and the like is stored in advance, and according to the steps of the business process execution program executed by the main control unit 4, Each functional means of the automatic teller machine 1 is formed.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 stores a storage state confirmation time that is set in advance as in the first embodiment, and stores the set denomination storage area 5a, the set denomination change recording area 5b, and the storage in the same manner as in the first embodiment. A sheet count area 5c and a captured banknote count area 5d are secured in advance.

  The set denomination of the present embodiment is set in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 4).

  Below, according to the step shown by S5 using the flowchart shown in FIG. 18, the transaction processing of the banknote handling transaction of a present Example, and conveyance destination change processes, such as a non-withdrawal banknote when the rejection cassette 15 becomes a full state Will be described.

  Since the operations of Steps S5-1 to S5-14 of the present embodiment are the same as the operations of Steps S2-1 to S2-14 of Embodiment 2, the description thereof is omitted.

  S5-15, the main control unit 4 having determined that the storage cassette 14 set to the same denomination exists, the storage cassette 14 of the same denomination (in this embodiment, the storage cassette 14a, 14b), the number of stored cassettes 14 having the smallest number of stored sheets (in this embodiment, referred to as storage cassette 14b) and another storage cassette 14 of the same denomination (in the present embodiment, storage cassette 14a). ), The number of banknotes that can be stored in the storage margin is compared. If the number of stored cassettes 14b is less than the number of stored cassettes 14b, it is determined that transfer is possible and step S5 is performed. Move to -17.

  If the number of storage cassettes 14b stored is equal to or greater than the number of storage cassettes 14b that can be stored, it is determined that the transfer is impossible and the process proceeds to step S5-16.

  In S5-16, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the set denominations of the storage cassettes 14 are different or that cannot be transferred is the same as in step S1-14 in the first embodiment. Among them, the storage cassette 14 having the minimum storage number is set as the temporary reject cassette 18, the feeding of banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18 is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S5-19.

  S5-17, the main control unit 4 that determines that the stored banknotes in the storage cassette 14b can be transferred to another storage cassette 14a set to the same denomination is the smallest among the storage cassettes 14 of the same denomination. The storage cassette 14b of the storage number is set as the temporary reject cassette 18b, the feeding of banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18b is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S5-18. For this reason, in the subsequent operation, it becomes possible to withdraw 10,000 tickets from the storage cassette 14a and 1000 tickets from the storage cassette 14c.

  S5-18, the main control unit 4 having set the storage cassette 14b with the minimum storage number as the temporary rejection cassette 18b sets the banknotes (10,000 tickets) of the circulating denominations stored in the temporary rejection cassette 18b to the same denomination. The transfer process of the banknotes to be transferred to the other storage cassette 14a is executed.

  That is, the main control unit 4 sequentially feeds stored banknotes to the transport path 17j by the separation and accumulation mechanism of the temporary reject cassette 18b (storage cassette 14b), and transports the banknotes to the discrimination unit 12 via the transport paths 17h, 17g, and 17b. Regardless of the discrimination result in the discrimination unit 12, the conveyance path 17c, 17d conveys and accumulates the temporary storage unit 13 (see the thick solid line shown in FIG. 19), and temporarily stores all the banknotes stored in the temporary reject cassette 18b. After being accumulated in the holding unit 13, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13 are sequentially fed to the conveyance path 17e by the separation and feeding mechanism, and conveyed to the discrimination unit 12 via the conveyance path 17c. Regardless of the discrimination result, the bills are transported and stored in the storage cassette 14a through the transport paths 17b, 17g, and 17i (see the thick solid line shown in FIG. 20) and once accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13. After receiving all the storage cassette 14a, the process proceeds to step S5-19.

  In this case, the main control unit 4 subtracts the number fed out from the stored number of the temporary reject cassette 18b (storage cassette 14b) by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 when the stored banknote is drawn out from the temporary reject cassette 18b. It is counted, and it is confirmed that the number of sheets stored in the temporary reject cassette 18b is “0”.

  Further, when banknotes of circulation denomination (ten thousand tickets) are stored in the storage cassette 14a, the number stored in the storage cassette 14a is added and counted by the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5.

  S5-19, the main control unit 4 that has set the temporary reject cassette 18b records the current set denomination of the storage cassette 14b in the recording area of the storage cassette 14b of the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5. The fact that the temporary reject cassette 18b has been set is recorded, and the storage cassette 14b is made to function as a temporary reject cassette 18b that stores bills that are not stored in the other storage cassettes 14 (storage cassettes 14a and 14c in this embodiment).

  S5-20, the main control unit 4 recording that the temporary reject cassette 18b has been set shows a notification stating that the reject cassette 15 is full and that the storage cassette 14b has been set as the temporary reject cassette 18b. It transmits to the management terminal of the store which does not carry out, it notifies a staff, returns to step S5-1, displays the normal transaction selection screen on the display screen of the operation display part 6, and waits. For this reason, the operation mode of the automatic teller machine 1 is not changed.

  In step S5-16, when the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 among all the storage cassettes 14, for example, the storage cassette 14c, is set as the temporary reject cassette 18c, the feeding from the temporary reject cassette 18c is stopped. Therefore, on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, a transaction selection screen in which the operation form displaying the wording that the withdrawal by the thousand tickets is stopped is displayed.

  On the other hand, the clerk who received the notification replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15 when the customer is not using the automatic teller machine 1, and is set as a temporary reject cassette 18b. The banknotes stored after setting are removed from the storage cassette 14b, and the normal operation of the banknote handling transaction is made possible.

  Subsequent operations in steps S5-21 to S5-23 are the same as the operations in steps S1-17 to S1-19 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  Since the operations of the deposit transaction process and the withdrawal transaction process of the present embodiment are the same as the deposit transaction process (see FIG. 8) and the withdrawal transaction process (see FIG. 9) of the second embodiment, the description thereof will be given. Omitted.

  As described above, in the banknote processing by the main control unit 4 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the same denomination is set when the reject cassette 15 becomes full with respect to the first embodiment. If there is a storage cassette 14 that is stored in the same denomination, the storage cassette 14b with the minimum storage number is smaller than the storage capacity of other storage cassettes 14a with the same denomination. 14b is set in the temporary reject cassette 18b, and all the stored banknotes are once accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13, and then transferred to another storage cassette 14a of the same denomination to empty the temporary reject cassette 18b. Therefore, when the reject cassette 15 becomes full, the handling of banknotes in the normal operation mode is not limited without limiting the denomination of the transactions related to the withdrawal of banknote handling transactions. It is possible to automatically continue, it is possible to significantly suppress the occurrence of dead storage bill.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as in the second embodiment, when the reject cassette becomes full, there are storage cassettes set to the same denomination, and among these, If the storage number of the storage cassette with the smallest storage number is less than the storage capacity of other storage cassettes of the same denomination, the storage cassette with the minimum storage number is set as the temporary reject cassette, and the stored banknotes are the same. Even if the reject cassette becomes full due to transfer to another storage cassette of denominations, banknote handling transactions in the normal operation form are automatically controlled while greatly suppressing the generation of banknotes Can continue to.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. 21 and FIG. Note that parts similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In the storage unit 5 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the transaction processing program, the banknote processing program, and the reject cassette 15 similar to those in the first embodiment are full, the same as in the first embodiment. In addition, the function of executing the transfer destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes, etc., in which the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 among all the storage cassettes 14 is set as the temporary reject cassette 18 and the transfer destination of non-withdrawal banknotes is changed. When a non-full empty reject cassette 15 is loaded at the time of confirming the storage state of the application program and the reject cassette 15, the empty banknote newly stored in the temporary reject cassette 18 after setting is set. Application program having a function of executing transfer processing of stored banknotes after setting to transfer to the reject cassette 15 And work process executing program of beam or the like are stored in advance, each functional unit of the automated teller machine 1 of this embodiment is formed by the step of the business process execution program main control unit 4 executes.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 stores a storage state confirmation time that is set in advance as in the first embodiment, and stores the set denomination storage area 5a, the set denomination change recording area 5b, and the storage in the same manner as in the first embodiment. A sheet count area 5c and a captured banknote count area 5d are secured in advance.

  The set denomination of the present embodiment is set in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 4).

  In the following, using the flowchart shown in FIG. 21, according to the step shown in S6, transaction processing of the banknote handling transaction of this embodiment, transport destination change processing such as non-withdrawal banknotes when the reject cassette 15 becomes full, and The post-setting storage bill transfer process will be described.

  Since the operations of Steps S6-1 to S6-18 of the present embodiment are the same as the operations of Steps S1-1 to S1-18 of Embodiment 1, the description thereof is omitted.

  In this case, when the storage cassette 14c having the minimum storage number is set as the temporary rejection cassette 18c in step S6-14, the main control unit 4 stores the storage cassette stored in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5. The stored number 14c is read out and temporarily stored in the storage unit 5 as the stored number when the temporary reject cassette 18c is set.

  In the following description, the attendant who received the notification in step S6-16 replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15, and the storage cassette 14c set as the temporary reject cassette 18c is: It is assumed that the banknotes stored after the setting, that is, the banknotes after the setting are not removed.

  S6-19, the main control unit 4 having determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, reads out the stored number of stored cassettes 14c (temporary reject cassette 18c) temporarily stored in step S6-14, A post-setting banknote transfer process for transferring the set banknote after setting the temporary reject cassette 18c to the empty reject cassette 15 is executed.

  That is, the main control unit 4 sequentially feeds the banknotes stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c) to the transport path 17k by the separating and accumulating mechanism, and discriminates through the transport paths 17h, 17g, and 17b. Regardless of the result of discrimination in the discrimination unit 12, the sample is conveyed to the empty reject cassette 15 through the conveyance paths 17c, 17n, and 17m (see the thick solid line shown in FIG. 22) and stored in the storage unit 5. The number of times of storage in the reject cassette 15 is counted in the storage number count area 5c.

  In this case, when the banknote is fed from the temporary reject cassette 18c, the main control unit 4 subtracts the number fed out from the count number of the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c) by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5. Then, the number of sheets stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c is counted, and when the counted number reaches the read number of stored sheets, the post-setting banknote transfer process is terminated and the process proceeds to step S6-20.

  S6-20, after the setting, the main control unit 4 that has finished transferring the stored bills cancels the setting of the temporary reject cassette 18c and sets the storage cassette 14c in the same manner as in step S1-19 of the first embodiment. The denomination is reset to the original set denomination, and the process returns to step S6-1 to display a normal transaction selection screen and wait.

  Since the operations of the deposit transaction process and the withdrawal transaction process of the present embodiment are the same as the deposit transaction process (FIG. 8) and the withdrawal transaction process (FIG. 9) of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. .

  In this case, in step S6-20, since the set denomination of the storage cassette 14c has been rewritten to a thousand ticket that is a preset set denomination, the number of times of storage when storing in the temporary reject cassette 18c is set. Even if a banknote or a non-circular denomination banknote due to a conveyance error remains in the storage cassette 14c due to the difference between the count number and the actual number of stored sheets, in the dispensing process of this embodiment, the storage of the feeding source is performed. Since different denomination banknotes and non-circular denomination banknotes etc. that are different from the set denomination of the cassette 14 are stored in the reject cassette 15 (see steps SB1-7, 9, 10), confusion occurs in the withdrawal transaction. There is no.

  As described above, in the transfer processing of stored banknotes after setting by the main control unit 4 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the reject cassette 15 is in a full state with respect to the first embodiment. When the reject cassette 15 is replaced, the stored banknotes after setting the temporary reject cassette 18c are transferred from the temporary reject cassette 18c to the replaced reject cassette 15, so that the full reject cassette 15 is replaced with an empty reject cassette 15. For example, the storage cassette 14c set in the temporary rejection cassette 18c can be automatically returned to the state when the rejection cassette 15 becomes full, and is stored in the storage cassette 14c before setting. Recyclable denominations (thousands) can be used without making them banknotes

  As described above, in this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as in the first embodiment, when the storage state of the reject cassette is confirmed, the confirmed storage state of the reject cassette is not full, and a temporary reject is performed. If the cassette has been set, the stored banknote after setting the temporary reject cassette is transferred to the replaced reject cassette that has been confirmed not to be full, and then the storage cassette set money set for the temporary reject cassette When the storage cassette that has been set as a temporary rejection cassette is replaced with a full cassette by simply replacing the full rejection cassette by resetting the seed to the original set denomination It is possible to automatically return to the state of the circulating denomination stored in the storage cassette before setting. Nusa it is possible to be able to use the.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. 23 thru | or FIG. Note that parts similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In the storage unit 5 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the transaction processing program, the banknote processing program, and the reject cassette 15 similar to those in the first embodiment are full, the same as in the first embodiment. In addition, the function of executing the transfer destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes, etc., in which the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 among all the storage cassettes 14 is set as the temporary reject cassette 18 and the transfer destination of non-withdrawal banknotes is changed. When a non-full empty reject cassette 15 is loaded at the time of confirming the storage state of the application program and the reject cassette 15, banknotes stored after setting in the temporary reject cassette 18 are stored in the predetermined storage cassette 14. , And a function for performing a separate storing process of stored banknotes after setting to be stored in the newly installed empty reject cassette 15 Work process executing program of application programs having are stored in advance, each functional unit of the automated teller machine 1 of this embodiment is formed by the step of the business process execution program main control unit 4 executes.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 stores a storage state confirmation time that is set in advance as in the first embodiment, and stores the set denomination storage area 5a, the set denomination change recording area 5b, and the storage in the same manner as in the first embodiment. A sheet count area 5c and a captured banknote count area 5d are secured in advance.

  The set denomination of the present embodiment is set in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 4).

  Below, using the flowchart shown in FIG. 23, according to the step shown in S7, transaction processing of the banknote handling transaction of this embodiment, transport destination change processing such as non-withdrawal banknotes when the reject cassette 15 becomes full, and The post-setting stored banknote sorting and storing process will be described.

  Since the operations of steps S7-1 to S7-18 of this embodiment are the same as the operations of steps S1-1 to S1-18 of the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

  In this case, when the minimum number of storage cassettes 14c is set as the temporary reject cassette 18c in step S7-14, the main control unit 4 stores the storage cassette stored in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5. The stored number 14c is read out and temporarily stored in the storage unit 5 as the stored number when the temporary reject cassette 18c is set.

  In the following description, the staff member who received the notification in step S7-16 replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15, and the storage cassette 14c set as the temporary reject cassette 18c is: It is assumed that the banknotes stored after the setting, that is, the banknotes after the setting are not removed.

  In S7-19, the main control unit 4, which has determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, reads out the stored number of stored cassettes 14c (temporary reject cassette 18c) temporarily stored in Step S7-14, In order to execute the classified storage processing of stored banknotes after setting, the stored banknotes after setting of the temporary reject cassette 18c are once accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13, and the banknotes identified as non-withdrawal banknotes in the process are emptied. Store in the reject cassette 15.

  That is, the main control unit 4 includes banknotes (non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes (denomination banknotes, abnormally conveyed banknotes), excess banknotes, and different denominations stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c). Bills and thousands of bills stored after setting the temporary reject cassette 18c) are sequentially fed to the transport path 17k by the separating and accumulating mechanism and transported to the discrimination unit 12 via the transport paths 17h, 17g, and 17b. The type of banknote conveyed by the section 12 is identified, and the identified banknote is a banknote of circulation type (a banknote that has been identified as a transport abnormal banknote at the time of discrimination in storage processing or withdrawal processing and stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c. However, the banknotes that have been normally separated by the temporary reject cassette 18c and have been successfully denominated in the discrimination of this step, are distinguished from the banknotes of unknown denomination and are temporarily rejected. If the banknote stored in 18c is a banknote that has been successfully denominated in the discrimination of this step, a thousand and extra banknotes stored after setting the temporary reject cassette 18c, and a different denomination banknote) 17c and 17d are transported to the temporary storage unit 13 and accumulated (see thick solid lines shown in FIG. 24), and the identified banknotes are non-withdrawal banknotes (non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes (denomination type banknotes, transport) In the case of abnormal banknotes)), the transport cassettes 17c, 17n, and 17m are transported to the empty reject cassette 15 for storage (see the thick broken line shown in FIG. 24). Count the number of storages.

  In this case, when the banknote is fed from the temporary reject cassette 18c, the main control unit 4 subtracts the number fed out from the count number of the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c) by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5. Then, the number of sheets stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c is counted, and when the counted number reaches the stored number of sheets read out, bill feeding is finished and the process proceeds to step S7-20.

  S7-20, the main control unit 4 that has finished paying out bills from the temporary reject cassette 18c and stacking them in the temporary holding unit 13, etc., is the same as step S1-19 in the first embodiment, in the temporary reject cassette 18c. The setting is canceled and the set denomination of the storage cassette 14c is reset to the original set denomination.

  S7-21, the main control unit 4 having reset the original set denomination of the storage cassette 14c, sequentially feeds the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 to the transport path 17e by the separating and feeding mechanism, and the transport path 17c. If the banknotes that have been transported to the discrimination unit 12 and are transported by the discrimination unit 12 are discriminated, and the banknotes that have been discriminated are all circulation denominations, from step SA1-8 of Example 1 above Similarly to SA1-11, a storage cassette 14 (for example, storage cassette 14a) with a small number of sheets to be stored is determined as the transport destination, and when there is a storage margin in the storage cassette 14a, it is stored in the transport paths 17b, 17g, and 17i. In the case where the banknotes discriminated after being transported and stored in the cassette 14a are circulation denominations, they are transported and stored in the storage cassette 14c through the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h and 17k (FIG. 25). When the discrimination result at the discrimination unit 12 is a non-withdrawal banknote (conveyance abnormal banknotes and banknotes with unknown denominations are applicable), the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17m are used. It is transported and stored in an empty reject cassette 15 (see the thick broken line shown in FIG. 25).

  In this case, when the main control unit 4 stores banknotes in the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 adds and counts the stored number of sheets stored in the storage cassette 14 by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5, and rejects the cassette. When the non-withdrawal banknote is stored in 15, the number of storages is added to the count number of the reject cassette 15 by the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counted.

  And when the remaining detection sensor (not shown) of the temporary storage unit 13 no longer detects the remaining banknotes, the main control unit 4 ends the sorting and storing process, and returns to step S7-1 to display the normal transaction selection screen. Display and wait.

  Since the operations of the deposit transaction process and the withdrawal transaction process of the present embodiment are the same as the deposit transaction process (FIG. 8) and the withdrawal transaction process (FIG. 9) of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted. .

  As described above, in the sorting and storing processing of stored banknotes after setting by the main control unit 4 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the reject cassette 15 is in a full state with respect to the first embodiment. When the reject cassette 15 is replaced, the stored banknotes after setting the temporary reject cassette 18c are once accumulated from the temporary reject cassette 18c into the temporary holding unit 13, and then the banknotes of the circulation denomination are transferred to the predetermined storage cassette 14 and are not withdrawn banknotes. Is stored in the replaced reject cassette 15. Therefore, if the reject cassette 15 in the full state is replaced with an empty reject cassette 15, the reject cassette 15 is set to the full state in the storage cassette 14c set in the temporary reject cassette 18c. It is possible to automatically return to the state when it has become, and it is stored in the storage cassette 14c before setting. The banknotes of the circulating denomination (thousands) can be used without making them banknotes, and the excess banknotes and foreign coins contained in the banknotes stored after installation in the temporary reject cassette 18c Banknotes of circulation denominations such as seed banknotes and banknotes of the original set denomination (thousand-tickets) can be effectively used without making them banknotes.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as in the first embodiment, when the storage state of the reject cassette is confirmed, the confirmed storage state of the reject cassette is not full, and a temporary reject is performed. If a cassette has been set, banknotes that have been identified as circulating denomination banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage section in the stored banknotes after the provisional reject cassette has been set, and the banknotes that have been identified as non-withdrawal banknotes are full. The banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit are stored in the replaced reject cassette that has been confirmed not to be in the state, and the set denomination of the storage cassette set in the temporary reject cassette is reset to the original set denomination. The banknotes that have been identified as non-withdrawal banknotes are exchanged into reject cassettes that have been confirmed not to be full. By simply replacing the full-state reject cassette, the storage cassette set as the temporary reject cassette is automatically returned to the state when the reject cassette is full. This makes it possible to use the banknote of the circulating denomination stored in the storage cassette before and after the setting, so that the banknote of the circulating denomination can be used effectively.

  Below, the automatic teller machine of a present Example is demonstrated using FIG. 26 thru | or FIG. Note that parts similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  In the storage state detection sensor 16 of the present embodiment, the storage state of the banknotes in the cassettes 14 and 15 is in a near-full state (refers to a state where banknotes handled in several transactions cannot be stored). The ability to detect has been added.

  The storage unit 5 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment stores the storage cassette 14 having the minimum storage number when the transaction processing program, the banknote processing program, and the reject cassette 15 similar to those in the first embodiment are in a near full state. Is set to the temporary reject cassette 18, the reject cassette 15 in the near-full state is set as the transport destination of the transport abnormal banknote, and the non-withdrawal banknote for changing the transport destination of the non-withdrawal banknote etc. excluding the transport abnormality to the temporary reject cassette 18 is set. When an empty rejection cassette 15 that is not near full is loaded when the storage state of the application program having the function of executing the transfer destination changing process and the like and the rejection cassette 15 is confirmed, the temporary rejection cassette 18 is stored after setting. A predetermined storage cassette 14 and a newly installed empty reject A business process execution program including an application program having a function of executing a sorting and storing process of stored banknotes to be stored in the set 15 is stored in advance, and the process is executed according to the steps of the business process execution program executed by the main control unit 4. Each functional means of the automatic teller machine 1 of an Example is formed.

  In addition, the storage unit 5 stores a storage state confirmation time that is set in advance as in the first embodiment, and stores the set denomination storage area 5a, the set denomination change recording area 5b, and the storage in the same manner as in the first embodiment. A sheet count area 5c and a captured banknote count area 5d are secured in advance.

  The set denomination of the present embodiment is set in the same manner as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 4).

  In the following, using the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 26 to 28, the transaction processing of the banknote handling transaction of this embodiment, the reject cassette 15 is performed according to the steps shown in S8 in FIG. 26, SA8 in FIG. 27, and SB8 in FIG. A transport destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes and a post-setting stored banknote sorting and storing process in the near full state will be described.

  Since the operations of steps S8-1 to S8-8 of this embodiment are the same as the operations of steps S1-1 to S1-8 of the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

  In this case, in step S8-5, the main control unit 4 that has recognized that the transaction selection button has been pressed, selects the deposit transaction when the pressed transaction selection button has been selected. The process proceeds to step SA8-1. If another transaction selection button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S8-6.

  In step S8-6, the main control unit 4 that has recognized that the transaction selection button has been pressed selects the withdrawal transaction in the case where the pressed transaction selection button selects the withdrawal transaction. Control goes to step SB8-1. If another transaction selection button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S8-7.

  In S8-9, the main control unit 4 confirming the storage state of the cassettes 14 and 15 proceeds to Step S8-12 if the reject cassette 15 is not full. If the reject cassette 15 is full, the process proceeds to step S8-10.

  S8-10, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the reject cassette 15 is in a full state sets the banknote handling transaction such as a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction to be canceled.

  S8-11, the main control unit 4 that has stopped the banknote handling transaction transmits a notification stating that the reject cassette 15 is full to a management terminal of a store (not shown) to notify the staff, and goes to step S8-1. Transaction selection in which the operation form is changed to hide the wording that the banknote handling transaction has been canceled and the banknote handling transaction selection button such as deposit transaction and withdrawal transaction on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 Display the screen and wait.

  On the other hand, the clerk who has received the notification replaces the full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15 so that the normal operation of the banknote handling transaction can be performed.

  In S8-12, the main control unit 4 confirming that the reject cassette 15 is not in a full state moves to Step S8-20 if the reject cassette 15 is not in a near full state. If the reject cassette 15 is in the near-full state, it is determined that a destination change process for non-withdrawal banknotes is necessary, and the process proceeds to step S8-13.

  Subsequent operations in steps S8-13 to S8-16 are the same as those in steps S1-10 to S1-13 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In S8-17, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the reject cassette 15 is in the near-full state but the storage cassette 14 has a storage margin, stores the number of storage cassettes 14 in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 for each storage cassette 14. And the provisional rejection of the storage cassette 14 having the smallest storage number among all the storage cassettes 14 (in this embodiment, it is assumed that the storage cassette 14c is set to a thousand denominations of circulating denominations). The cassette 18c is set to stop the feeding of banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18c, and the number of stored cassettes 14c stored in the storage unit count area 5c of the storage unit 5 is read, and this is temporarily stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c. Is temporarily stored in the storage unit 5 as the number of stored sheets. For this reason, in subsequent operation | movement, withdrawal of a thousand ticket is stopped until the setting of the temporary rejection cassette 18c is cancelled | released.

  S8-18, the main control unit 4 that has set the temporary reject cassette 18c records the current set denomination of the storage cassette 14c in the recording area of the storage cassette 14c in the set denomination change recording area 5b of the storage unit 5. The fact that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set is recorded, and the storage cassette 14c is made to function as a temporary reject cassette 18c that stores banknotes that are not stored in the other storage cassettes 14 (storage cassettes 14a and 14b in this embodiment).

  S8-19, the main control unit 4 having rewritten the setting of the set denomination manages the store (not shown) indicating that the reject cassette 15 is in a near full state and that the storage cassette 14c is set as the temporary reject cassette 18c. Transaction selection screen that has been changed to an operational form that is sent to the terminal to notify the clerk, returns to step S8-1, and displays on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 that the withdrawal with the thousand tickets has been cancelled. Is displayed and waits.

  In step S8-18, the minimum number of storage cassettes 14 is one of the storage cassettes 14a and 14b set to the same denomination, for example, the storage cassette 14b is set as the temporary rejection cassette 18b. When set, feeding from the temporary reject cassette 18b is stopped, but feeding from the storage cassette 14a is not stopped, so that it is possible to withdraw 10,000 and 1,000 tickets, and the operation mode is not changed.

  On the other hand, the attendant who received the notification replaces the near-full reject cassette 15 with an empty reject cassette 15 when the customer is not using the automatic teller machine 1 or the like.

  At this time, it is assumed that banknotes stored after setting in the storage cassette 14c set as the temporary reject cassette 18c are not extracted.

  S8-20, the main control unit 4 having determined that the reject cassette 15 is not in the near-full state, that is, that the reject cassette 15 has a storage margin, sets the bill handling transaction by normal operation to be possible.

  S8-21, the main control unit 4 that has been set to enable normal handling of banknote handling transactions, when it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c is not set, as in step S1-10, that is, as usual. When operating, it returns to step S8-1, displays a normal transaction selection screen on the display screen of the operation display unit 6, and waits. If it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, the process proceeds to step S8-22.

  In S8-22, the main control unit 4, which has determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, reads out the number of stored sheets when the storage cassette 14c (temporary reject cassette 18c) temporarily stored in Step S8-17 is set, In order to execute the separate storage processing of stored banknotes after setting, the stored banknotes after setting of the temporary reject cassette 18c are once accumulated in the temporary holding unit 13, and the banknotes identified as being conveyed abnormally in the process are rejected empty. Store in cassette 15.

  That is, the main control unit 4 includes banknotes (non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes (denomination banknotes, abnormally conveyed banknotes), excess banknotes, and different denominations stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c). Bills and thousands of bills stored after setting the temporary reject cassette 18c) are sequentially fed to the transport path 17k by the separating and accumulating mechanism and transported to the discrimination unit 12 via the transport paths 17h, 17g, and 17b. When the denomination of the banknote conveyed by the unit 12 is discriminated and the identified banknote is a banknote excluding the conveyance abnormality, the banknote is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 13 through the conveyance paths 17c and 17d and accumulated (as shown in FIG. 24). If the identified banknote is abnormal in conveyance, the abnormally conveyed banknote is conveyed to the empty reject cassette 15 through the conveyance paths 17c, 17n, and 17m and stored (see FIG. 24). To refer thick broken line), counting the storage number to the reject cassette 15 by housing number count area 5c of the storage unit 5.

  In this case, when the banknote is fed from the temporary reject cassette 18c, the main control unit 4 subtracts the number fed out from the count number of the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c) by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5. Then, the number of sheets stored in the temporary reject cassette 18c is counted, and when the counted number reaches the stored number of sheets read out, the bill feeding is finished and the process proceeds to step S8-23.

  S8-23, the main control unit 4 that has finished paying out the banknotes from the temporary reject cassette 18c and accumulating in the temporary holding unit 13, etc., performs the set denomination change recording in the same manner as in step S1-19 of the first embodiment. The rewritten set denomination of the storage cassette 14 in the area 5b is rewritten to a preset denomination.

  S8-24, the main control unit 4 which reset the original set denomination of the storage cassette 14c, collects the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 (the banknotes identified as other than the conveyance abnormality in the stored banknotes after setting). The separating and feeding mechanism sequentially feeds it to the transport path 17e, transports it to the discrimination section 12 via the transport path 17c, and discriminates the denominations of the banknotes transported by the discrimination section 12, and the discriminated banknotes are recycled gold Banknotes (the banknotes that have been identified as banknotes of unknown denomination at the time of discrimination of stored banknotes after being set up and temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 have been successfully denominated in the discrimination of this step, provisional reject cassette 18c In the case of the thousand bills, excess bills, and different denomination bills stored after the setting of (1), the circulation denomination bills are stored in the same manner as in steps SA1-8 to SA1-11 of the first embodiment. Fewer storage cassettes 4 (for example, the storage cassette 14a) is determined as the transport destination, and when there is a storage margin in the storage cassette 14a, the transport cassette 17a, 17g, 17i transports it to the storage cassette 14a and stores it. When the ticket is transported and stored in the storage cassette 14c by the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k (refer to the thick solid line shown in FIG. 25), the discrimination result in the discrimination unit 12 is a non-withdrawal banknote that includes a transport abnormality. (Banks of non-circular denomination, reject banknotes (denomination unknown banknotes, transport abnormal banknotes)) are transported and stored in empty reject cassettes 15 by transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17m (thick as shown in FIG. 25). (See dashed line).

  In this case, when the main control unit 4 stores banknotes in the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 adds and counts the stored number of sheets stored in the storage cassette 14 by the stored number count area 5c of the storage unit 5, and rejects the cassette. When the non-withdrawal banknote is stored in 15, the number of storages is added to the count number of the reject cassette 15 by the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counted.

  The main control unit 4 terminates the sorting and storing process when a residual detection sensor (not shown) of the temporary storage unit 13 no longer detects the remaining of the banknotes, and returns to step S8-1 to display the normal transaction selection screen. Display and wait.

  In this way, the transfer destination changing process for non-withdrawal banknotes of the present embodiment is executed.

  Hereinafter, the deposit transaction processing by the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in accordance with the steps indicated by SA8 using the flowchart shown in FIG.

  SA8-1, in step S8-5, the main control unit 4 that recognizes the selection of the deposit transaction and moves through the connector A8 inserts a transaction card in the same manner as in step SA1-1 of the first embodiment. A screen is displayed, the card information of the inserted transaction card is read, and the read card information is temporarily stored in the storage unit 5.

  Subsequent operations in steps SA8-2 to SA8-13 are the same as the operations in steps SA1-2 to SA1-13 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  SA8-14, the deposited banknote transported is a non-withdrawal banknote (a non-circulating denominated banknote discriminated from 5,000, 2,000, or reject banknote (denomination type banknote, transport abnormal banknote)). The main control unit 4 that has determined whether or not the banknote of the circulation denomination is an excess banknote determines that the temporary reject cassette 18c is not set in the same manner as in step S1-10, that is, as usual. If the operation is performed, the process proceeds to step SA8-15. If it is determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, the process proceeds to step SA8-16.

  In step SA8-15, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the normal operation is performed determines the transfer destination of the non-withdrawal banknotes or excess banknotes as the reject cassette 15 and proceeds to step SA8-19.

  SA8-16, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the temporary reject cassette 18 has been set determines whether or not the discrimination result of the deposited banknote that has been conveyed is abnormal in conveyance, and if the identification result is abnormal in conveyance. Then, the process proceeds to step SA8-18. If the discrimination result is other than the conveyance abnormality, that is, if it is a non-withdrawal banknote (a non-circular denomination deposited banknote or a denomination type banknote) excluding the conveyance abnormality, the process proceeds to step SA8-17.

  SA8-17, the main control unit 4 having determined that the identified result of the deposited banknote is a non-withdrawal banknote excluding the transport abnormality, the transport destination of the non-withdrawal banknote or the excess banknote excluding the transport abnormality to the temporary reject cassette 18c. Decide and go to Step SA8-19.

  SA8-18, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the discrimination result of the deposited banknote is an abnormal conveyance, the transport destination of the deposited banknote identified as an abnormal conveyance is in a near-full state, but there is a storage margin. The reject cassette 15 is determined and the process proceeds to step SA8-19.

  SA8-19, the main control unit 4 that has determined the transport destination of the identified deposited banknote transports and stores the banknote to the determined transport destination.

  That is, when the temporary reject cassette 18c is not set, the main control unit 4 performs the transfer destination determined according to the denomination of the discriminated banknote as in step SA1-17 of the first embodiment. Deposited banknotes are transported and stored in the cassettes 14 and 15 by the transport path 17.

  Further, when the temporary reject cassette 18 is set, the main control unit 4 conveys the deposited banknotes discriminated from ten thousand tickets to the storage cassette 14a through the conveyance paths 17b, 17g and 17i as shown in FIG. (See the thick solid line shown in FIG. 29), and the deposited banknotes discriminated from the thousand bills are transported to the temporary reject cassette 18c (storage cassette 14c) by the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k, and stored. Deposited banknotes or excess banknotes discriminated from non-withdrawal banknotes (5,000, 2,000, or reject banknotes (banknotes with unknown denomination)) are transported to temporary reject cassette 18c by transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17k. (Refer to the thick broken line shown in FIG. 29), and the deposited banknotes identified as being transported abnormally are rejected in the near-full state by the transport paths 17b, 17g, 17h, and 17m. And conveyed to the cassette 15 accommodating (see a thick dashed-dotted line shown in FIG. 29).

  In this case, when storing the deposited banknotes in the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 adds the number of stored sheets to the stored number of stored storage cassettes 14 by the stored number counting area 5 c of the storage unit 5, and rejects it. When the deposited bill is stored in the cassette 15 or the temporary reject cassette 18c, the number of stored bills is added to the count number of the reject cassette 15 or the temporary reject cassette 18c in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counted.

  As described above, even when the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, the conveyance failure banknotes are stored in the near full reject cassette 15 because of a transport failure such as a jam at the time of redrawing the banknotes from the temporary rejection cassette 18c. This is to eliminate the possibility of.

  Since the subsequent operation of step SA8-20 is the same as the operation of step SA1-18 of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  In this way, the deposit transaction processing by the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment is executed.

  In the following, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 28, the withdrawal transaction process by the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described according to the steps indicated by SB8.

  In step SB8-1, in step S8-6, the main control unit 4 that recognizes the selection of the withdrawal transaction and moves through the connector B8 performs the transaction card in the same manner as in step SA1-1 in the first embodiment. An insertion screen is displayed, the card information of the inserted transaction card is read, and the read card information is temporarily stored in the storage unit 5.

  Subsequent operations from Step SB8-2 to SB8-10 are the same as the operations from Step SB1-2 to SB1-10 in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  SB8-11, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the temporary reject cassette 18c is set determines whether or not the banknote discrimination result at the time of the withdrawal process is a conveyance abnormality, and the discrimination result is a conveyance abnormality. In the case, the process proceeds to step SB8-13. When the discrimination result is other than a conveyance abnormality, that is, a non-withdrawal banknote excluding a conveyance abnormality (2,000, 5,000, rejected banknote (denomination type banknote) or a different denomination banknote mixed due to a mistake during loading) Proceeds to Step SB8-12.

  SB8-12, the main control unit 4 that has determined that the identified banknote is a non-withdrawal banknote or a different denomination banknote excluding transport abnormality, temporarily holds these banknotes via the transport paths 17c and 17d. It is conveyed to the unit 13 and accumulated (see the thick broken line shown in FIG. 30), and the process proceeds to Step SB8-14.

  SB8-13, the main control unit 4 having determined that the identified banknote is abnormal in conveyance conveys the abnormal conveyance banknote to the reject cassette 15 in the near-full state via the conveyance paths 17c, 17n, and 17m. (See the thick dashed line shown in FIG. 30), the process proceeds to step SB8-14.

  In this case, when the banknote is stored in the near full reject cassette 15, the main control unit 4 counts the number of times stored in the count number of the reject cassette 15 by the stored number count area 5 c of the storage unit 5.

  In this way, even if the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, the conveyance failure banknotes are stored in the near full reject cassette 15 because of the occurrence of a conveyance failure such as a jam at the time of redrawing the banknotes from the temporary storage unit 13. This is to eliminate the possibility of.

  Subsequent operations from step SB8-14 to SB8-16 are the same as the operations from step SB4-12 to SB4-14 in the fourth embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In step SB8-17 and step SB8-12, the main control unit 4 that has recognized that the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 exist because the temporary reject cassette 18c has been set, A sorting and storing process for non-withdrawal banknotes during the withdrawal process is executed.

  That is, the main control unit 4 separates the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 (non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes (denomination banknotes), different denomination banknotes) mixed due to mistakes during loading, and the like. The feeding mechanism sequentially feeds to the conveyance path 17e until the remaining detection sensor (not shown) of the temporary storage unit 13 does not detect the remaining of the banknotes, conveys it to the discrimination unit 12 via the conveyance path 17c, and conveys it by the discrimination unit 12. The identified banknote is identified as a circulating denominated banknote (when the banknote is identified in step SB8-6, the banknote that has been identified as a denomination unknown banknote and once accumulated in the temporary storage unit 13 is In the case of a banknote that has been successfully denominated in the discrimination of this step, a different denomination banknote (in this embodiment, it is assumed to be a million ticket), the ten thousand tickets are the steps SA1-8 to SA1- of the first embodiment. Like 11 The storage cassette 14 (for example, the storage cassette 14a) having a small number of stored sheets is determined as the transport destination, and when there is a storage margin in the storage cassette 14a, the transport cassette 17a is transported to the storage cassette 14a through the transport paths 17b, 17g, and 17i. Then, the re-discrimination result in the discrimination unit 12 was discriminated from non-withdrawal banknotes (mixed non-circular denomination banknotes, reject banknotes (denomination banknotes)) and circulation denomination thousand tickets excluding conveyance errors. In the case of a banknote, it conveys to the temporary rejection cassette 18c by the conveyance path 17b, 17g, 17h, 17k, and stores, and when the re-discrimination result in the discrimination part 12 is conveyance abnormality, conveyance path 17b, 17g, 17h, 17m is transported and stored in the near full reject cassette 15.

  In this case, when the main control unit 4 stores banknotes in the storage cassette 14, the main control unit 4 counts the stored number of the storage cassette 14 by adding the number stored in the storage number count area 5 c of the storage unit 5, and temporarily rejects it. When banknotes are stored in the cassette 18c or the reject cassette 15 in the near-full state, the number of stored bills is added to the count number of the temporary reject cassette 18c or the reject cassette 15 in the storage number count area 5c of the storage unit 5 and counted.

  As described above, even when the temporary reject cassette 18c is set, the conveyance failure banknotes are stored in the near full reject cassette 15 because of a transport failure such as a jam at the time of redrawing the banknotes from the temporary rejection cassette 18c. This is to eliminate the possibility of.

  And the main control part 4 which finished storing in the storage cassette 14, temporary rejection cassette 18c, or the rejection cassette 15 of a near full state of the banknote integrated | stacked on the temporary storage part 13 determines completion | finish of the transaction processing of payment | withdrawal transaction, The process proceeds to step S8-8 in FIG.

  In this way, the withdrawal transaction process by the automatic teller machine 1 of the present embodiment is executed.

  As described above, in the banknote processing by the main control unit 4 of the automatic teller machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the reject cassette 15 is in a near full state, the storage cassette 14c with the minimum storage number is changed to the temporary rejection cassette 18c. In the storage process, the withdrawal process and the separate storage process in the deposit process, the banknotes identified as abnormally transported banknotes are transported to the near-full reject cassette 15 and stored, and other non-withdrawal banknotes are temporarily stored. Since it is transported and stored in the reject cassette 18c, it becomes possible to store the abnormally transported banknotes identified as abnormal transport in the near-full reject cassette 15 in the storage process or the withdrawal process in the deposit process. Re-separate banknotes once identified as abnormally transported banknotes in sorted storage processing of banknotes and sorted storage processing of stored banknotes after setting Eliminates Rukoto, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the occurrence of the conveyance failure.

  Further, when the reject cassette 15 is in a near full state, the temporary rejection cassette 18 is set and the attendant is notified that the transaction has been automatically continued, so the usage status of the automatic teller machine 1 and the availability of the attendant In consideration of the above, it becomes possible to replace the reject cassette 15 and the like in a situation that does not bother the customer of the automatic teller machine 1.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the temporary storage unit that accumulates the banknotes that are inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit and discriminated from the normal banknotes, and the plurality of storage cassettes that store the banknotes using the circulation denomination as the set denomination In the automatic teller machine having a banknote depositing / withdrawing unit having a reject cassette that stores banknotes not stored in the storage cassette, when the storage state of the reject cassette is confirmed, the storage state of the reject cassette is full Sets the minimum number of storage cassettes among the storage cassettes as a temporary reject cassette, and if a temporary reject cassette is set during the storage process of the deposit process, the normal banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit are stored. The banknotes identified as non-withdrawal banknotes, excluding transport abnormalities, are transferred to temporary reject cassettes, and the banknotes identified as transport abnormalities are near-full. If a temporary reject cassette is set at the time of withdrawal processing, banknotes that have been identified as non-withdrawal banknotes except for transport errors are accumulated in the temporary storage unit and are identified as transport errors. Banknotes stored in a near-full reject cassette, and banknotes that have been identified as being transported abnormally among the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding section at the end of the withdrawal process are transferred to the near-full reject cassette. In addition to the same effects as those in the first embodiment, the banknotes identified as the withdrawal banknotes were identified as conveyance abnormalities in the storage process and the withdrawal process in the deposit process. It is possible to store abnormally conveyed banknotes in a near-full reject cassette, which can be used for sorting and storing non-withdrawal banknotes and sorting and storing banknotes after setting. , There is no re separating banknotes once differentiated from abnormally transported banknote, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the occurrence of the conveyance failure.
