In addition, the control part 18 of the coin processing machine 1 and the control part 27 of the banknote processing machine 2 operate the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 according to an instruction from the main control unit 8.
The operation of the above configuration will be described.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by the main control unit 8 and the control units 18 and 27 based on the control program stored in the storage unit 7 and the like as described above.

First, a description will be given of a withdrawal process in the case where a cashier in charge causes cash to be added to the register for change.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the withdrawal process. In the figure, S indicates a step, which will be described below in accordance with this step.
When the cashier in charge inserts his / her ID card into the card insertion / ejection port provided in the cash processing apparatus, the card reader 5 identifies the user classification, cashier No. from the ID card. Is read (S1).

Further, after inserting the card, the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 to input his personal ID (user ID) and password (S2).
The main control unit 8 collates the personal ID and password input by the cashier person with the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 or the like in advance, and when the validity is confirmed, the user classification read from the ID card The menu screen for selecting “withdrawal” and “deposit” that can be operated by the cashier person is displayed on the display unit 3 (S3), and the cashier person selects the menu screen.

When the cashier in charge operates the operation unit 4 and selects “withdrawal”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection of “withdrawal” (S4), and displays a withdrawal amount input screen on the display unit 3. .
When the cashier in charge looks at this screen and operates the operation unit 4 to input a withdrawal amount (number of coins and banknotes for each denomination), the main control unit 8 accepts the input amount (S5), The amount of money withdrawn and the cash (number of money types) in the change coin storage 14 of the coin processing machine 1 and the change banknote storage 24 of the banknote processing machine 2 stored in the banking counter of the storage unit 7. Comparison is made to determine whether or not withdrawal is possible (S6).

When it is determined that the withdrawal is impossible due to a shortage of cash in the change coin storage 14 and the change bill storage 24, a message screen to that effect is displayed on the display unit 3 and the process is terminated.
When withdrawal is possible, coins and banknotes of the corresponding denomination are fed out from the coin storage box 14 for change of the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote storage box 24 for change of the banknote processing machine 2, and the coin discrimination section 12 and the banknote discrimination section. At 22, it is identified and counted, and it is withdrawn to the coin dispensing safe 16 and the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 (S7).

When the withdrawal is completed, the main control unit 8 updates the number of coins and banknotes for each denomination that has been withdrawn this time by subtracting it from the number of coins and banknotes of the money type stored in the cash counter of the storage unit 7 ( Further, the processing result is recorded in a slip by the slip recording unit 6 and issued to the cashier in charge (S9).
The high / low counter may be updated after the voucher is issued.
Next, the deposit process when the cashier in charge deposits the cash collected from the register will be described.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the deposit process. In the figure, S indicates a step, which will be described below in accordance with this step.
When the cashier in charge inserts his / her ID card into the card insertion / ejection port provided in the cash processing apparatus, the card reader 5 identifies the user classification, cashier No. from the ID card. Is read (S11).

Further, after the card is inserted, the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 to input his personal ID (user ID) and password (S12).
The main control unit 8 collates the personal ID and password input by the cashier person with the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 or the like in advance, and when the validity is confirmed, the user classification read from the ID card A menu screen for selecting “withdrawal” and “deposit” that can be operated by the cashier person is displayed on the display unit 3 (S13), and the cashier person selects the menu screen.

Here, when the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 and selects “deposit”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection of “deposit” (S14).
And the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 opened the shutters provided in the coin depositing slot 11 and the banknote depositing / dispensing slot 21 respectively according to the instruction of the main control unit 8, and the cashier in charge recovered from the register. It accepts coins and banknotes that are cash, discriminates and counts them in the coin discrimination section 12 and the banknote discrimination section 22, and temporarily holds them in the coin temporary storage section 13 and the banknote temporary storage section 23 (S15).

When all the accepted coins and banknotes are counted and temporarily held, the main control unit 8 displays the number and amount of each denomination and the total amount of all denominations on the display unit 3 as the counting result, and the amount of money is given to the cashier. To confirm whether or not storage is possible (OK / NG) (S16).
In the case of NG, the temporarily held coin is returned from the coin reject port 17 and the banknote is returned from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 to the cashier in charge (S17).

In the case of OK, the sales amount of the temporarily held coins and banknotes is stored in the coin recovery box 15 and the banknote recovery box 25, and the change is stored in the change coin storage box 14 and the change banknote storage box 24. To do.
When the storage in the coin recovery box 15 and the banknote recovery box 25 is completed, the main control unit 8 stores the number of coins and banknotes for each denomination deposited this time in the high counter of the storage unit 7 as the current processing result. It is updated by adding to the number of coins and bills of money type (S18), and the slip recording unit 6 records the processing result in a slip and issues it to the cashier in charge (S19).

The high / low counter may be updated after the voucher is issued.
Thereafter, the main control unit 8 confirms whether the coin collection box 15 and the banknote collection box 25 are full (S20). If the coin collection box 15 is full, the main control unit 8 displays that fact on the display unit or turns on an alarm lamp. (S21).
In addition, you may confirm whether the coin collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 15 and the banknote collection | recovery store | warehouse | chamber 25 are full at the time of the menu screen display, the reception of a deposit selection, etc.

By the way, at the time of the above-described withdrawal process or deposit process, when a jam occurs in a coin being conveyed by the coin processing machine 1 or when a jam occurs in a banknote being conveyed by the banknote handling machine 2, the jam coin or It is necessary to remove the jam bill.
When removing jammed coins and jammed bills, cashiers and maintenance personnel open the front door of the cash processing device with a key and pull out a predetermined unit to open the transport path, but open the front door with the key. Thus, the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15 of the coin processing machine 1 and the change banknote storage 24 and the banknote recovery box 25 of the banknote processing machine 2 can be pulled out.

  Therefore, when an operator such as a cashier person or a maintenance worker who has removed jammed banknotes pulls out the coin storage box 14 and coin recovery box 15 for change, the banknote storage box 24 for change, and the banknote recovery box 25, Since internal coins and banknotes may be withdrawn, it is impossible to guarantee the amount of banknotes in the change coin storage 14 and coin recovery box 15, change banknote storage 24 and banknote recovery box 25.

  In this case, it has been individually detected by a sensor (not shown) that the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15 and the change banknote storage 24 and the banknote recovery box 25 have been withdrawn. Information is notified to the main control unit 8, but at this time, the main control unit 8 does not confirm the validity by reading the information from the responsible person's ID card, that is, when the responsible person's ID card is not inserted It is recognized that an unauthorized person recognized that the change coin storage box 14 and coin recovery box 15 and the change banknote storage box 24 and banknote recovery box 25 were pulled out, and a situation requiring scrutiny occurred. to decide.

  Further, when a line failure occurs between the main control unit 8 and the control unit 18 of the coin processing machine 1 or the control unit 27 of the banknote processing machine 2 during the withdrawal process or the deposit process, the main control unit 8 Since it cannot be determined whether or not the processing has been normally performed by the coin processor 1 or the banknote processing machine 2, it is impossible to guarantee the amount of banknotes in the banknote storage 24 for change and the banknote recovery box 25 in this case. The main control unit 8 determines that a situation requiring scrutiny has occurred.

  Furthermore, when the banknote identification part 22 etc. detects heavy running etc. at the time of banknote withdrawal processing, and it is judged to be rejected, the banknote is conveyed and stored in the banknote reject box 26. In this case, what is the reject banknote? Since it is not known whether the sheets are stacked, that is, how many sheets are fed out from the change banknote storage 24, it is impossible to accurately grasp the number of stored banknotes in the change banknote storage 24. In this case, the unit 8 also determines that a situation requiring scrutiny has occurred.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15 in operation, the maintenance status of the change banknote storage 24 and the banknote recovery box 25, and the communication in the apparatus during the deposit and withdrawal processes. Situation, scrutinized to determine the number of banknotes in the change coin storage 14 and coin recovery box 15 and change banknote storage 24 and banknote recovery box 25 by counting from the banknote processing status during the withdrawal process Check to see if a situation that requires it has occurred.

  That is, when an unauthorized person pulls out the coin storage box 14 and the coin collection box 15 for change, the banknote storage box 24 for the change, and the banknote collection box 25, the main controller 8 and the coin processor 1 When a line failure occurs between the control unit 18 or the control unit 27 of the banknote handling machine 2 and when a reject banknote is transported and stored in the banknote rejection store 26 at the time of withdrawal processing, the main control unit 8 checks carefully. In addition to this, the main control unit 8 determines whether or not scrutiny requires urgency.

  In this case, it is determined that scrutiny requires urgency when an unauthorized person pulls out the change coin storage 14 and coin recovery box 15, the change banknote storage 24 and the banknote recovery box 25, and Assume that a line failure has occurred between the main control unit 8 and the control unit 18 of the coin processing machine 1 or the control unit 27 of the banknote processing machine 2, and the rejected banknotes are transported to the banknote rejection store 26 during the withdrawal process. In such a case, the scrutiny shall not require urgency.

  This is because when an unauthorized person pulls out the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15 or the change banknote storage 24 and the banknote recovery box 25, the internal coins and banknotes are extracted as described above. In order to continue to operate the apparatus, the amount of coins and banknotes in the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15 and the change banknote storage 24 and the banknote recovery box 25 are determined. Because it is necessary to do.

  Further, when a line failure occurs between the main control unit 8 and the control unit 18 of the coin processing machine 1 or the control unit 27 of the banknote processing machine 2 during the deposit / withdrawal processing, the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15, which coins and banknotes of which denominations are stored in the banknote storage for change 24 and the banknote recovery box 25, and coins and banknotes of which denomination from the change coin storage and the change banknote storage 24 This is because it is not known how many sheets have been paid out, and this causes troubles in subsequent withdrawal processing and tightening processing.

On the other hand, when the reject banknote is conveyed and stored in the banknote rejection store 26 during the withdrawal process, the number of the banknotes is small, and the reject banknote remains in the banknote processing machine 2, and then the apparatus. It is not necessary to scrutinize urgently by not causing any troubles in the operation.
When the situation requiring the scrutiny occurs and the main control unit 8 determines that the scrutiny requires urgency, the display unit 3 indicates that the scrutiny is necessary and information indicating that urgency is required. The date and time of occurrence are displayed, and the person in charge is notified of the occurrence of an abnormal situation by means of a buzzer or sound (not shown).

In addition, when a situation requiring scrutiny has occurred, but it is determined that scrutiny does not require urgency, the display unit 3 indicates that a scrutiny is necessary and indicates that urgentness is not required. Information and date and time of occurrence are displayed, and the person in charge is notified of the occurrence of an abnormal situation by means of a buzzer or voice (not shown).
In this case, for example, an asterisk symbol “*” is displayed as information that requires urgent examination, and “R” that indicates rejection is displayed as information that does not require urgency, for example.

When the responsible person who has received the notification judges whether or not to conduct a scrutinization by checking the message displayed on the display unit 3 indicating that a scrutiny is necessary and the information indicating the necessity / unnecessity of urgency. Then, the user inserts his / her ID card into a card insertion / extraction port provided in the cash processing apparatus.
As a result, when the card reader 5 reads the user classification from the ID card and the responsible person inserts the card and operates the operation unit 4 to input his personal ID (user ID) and password, the main control unit 8 Will check the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 etc. in advance by comparing the personal ID and password entered by the cashier staff, and if the validity is confirmed, the responsibility will be based on the user classification read from the ID card. A menu screen for selecting “clamping”, “scrutinization”, and “inquiry for high” that can be operated by the user is displayed on the display unit 3 and selected.

  Here, when the person in charge selects “scrutinize”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection, and the change coin storage 14 and the coin recovery box 15 stored in the storage unit 7 as the current amount of money, The number of coins and bills denominated in the banknote storage 24 and banknote collection box 25 and the information indicating that the number is indefinite are transmitted to the slip recording unit 6 and recorded on the slip, as a pre-scrutiny slip Issue to responsible person.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a pre-scrutiny slip at this time, the processing date and time, the ID number of the person in charge, the number of denominations in the change coin storage 14 and change bill storage 24, and the coin recovery box 15. The number of denominations in the banknote collection box 25 is recorded, and an asterisk “*” is attached to a denomination whose number is uncertain.
Here, the number of denominations in the change coin storage 14 and change banknote storage 24 is shown as a change reserve that can be withdrawn, and the number of denominations in the coin recovery box 15 and banknote recovery box 25 is sales. It is shown.

  The denominations marked with an asterisk are denominations that require close examination. For example, when a line failure occurs between the main control unit 8 and the control unit 18 of the coin processing machine 1 or the control unit 27 of the banknote processing machine 2. All denominations are subject to scrutiny, but when the change coin storage 14, the coin recovery box 15, each change banknote storage 24, and the banknote recovery box 25 are withdrawn, Only denominations stored in the collection are the controls for scrutiny.

The person in charge can determine the storage, collection, or denomination that needs scrutiny by checking the contents of the pre-scrutiny slip, and scrutinize based on that.
In this case, if the object of scrutiny is a denomination in the change banknote storage 24, the banknotes are drawn out from the change banknote storage 24, identified and counted by the banknote discrimination unit 22, and temporarily stored in the bill temporary storage unit 13. The banknote is deferred and the denomination and number of all banknotes are determined in the same procedure, and then the banknotes are returned from the banknote temporary storage unit 13 to the change banknote storage 24.

  Moreover, if the object of scrutiny is the denomination in the change coin storage 14, the coin recovery box 15, and the banknote recovery box 25, these storages and recovery boxes are removed from the apparatus, and the internal coins and banknotes are taken out. The coins and bills taken out are inserted into the coin deposit slot 11 and the bill deposit / withdrawal slot 21 and are identified and counted by the coin discriminator 12 and the bill discriminator 22. And denomination and the number of sheets are decided by returning a coin and a bill in bill collection warehouse 25.

  On the other hand, if the person in charge who has received the notification of the occurrence of an abnormality does not conduct scrutiny due to the urgency of scrutiny based on the contents displayed on the display unit 3, the "residence inquiry" In addition, when “replenishment” of coins and banknotes is performed by the cashier in charge, the main control unit 8 is stored in the storage unit 7 in the same manner as described above, when “existence inquiry” and “replenishment” are selected. A slip is recorded with the number of coins and bills denominated in the change coin storage 14 and coin recovery box 15, change bill storage 24 and banknote recovery box 25, and information indicating that the number is uncertain. It is sent to the section 6 to be recorded on a slip and issued to the responsible person as a pre-scrutiny slip.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a slip at this time, and shows a case of a high-inquiry inquiry.
In this slip, the processing date and time, the ID number of the person in charge, the number of denominations in the change coin storage 14 and change banknote storage 24, the number of rejections of the denomination are recorded, and the denomination of the number is uncertain “R” indicating a rejection is attached to.
Here too, the number of denominations in the change coin storage 14 and change bill storage 24 is shown as a change reserve that can be withdrawn.

By checking the contents of the pre-scrutiny slip, the person in charge can determine the storage, collection, or denomination that needs to be scrutinized.
According to the embodiment described above, the maintenance status of each of the storage bins 14 and 24 and the recovery bins 15 and 25 in operation, the communication status in the apparatus during deposit and withdrawal processing, and the bill processing status during withdrawal processing. From the above, it is confirmed whether or not a situation requiring a scrutinizing operation for determining the number of banknotes in each of the storages 14 and 24 and the collection warehouses 15 and 25 by counting has occurred. If it occurs, it is determined whether or not scrutiny is necessary, and information on the necessity of urgency based on the judgment result and notification that scrutiny is required are displayed on the display unit 3. The person in charge who received the notification can easily determine whether or not it is necessary to immediately conduct a scrutinization by looking at the display contents on the display unit 3 so that the scrutiny is necessary. A situation where the person responsible can be hindered Effect is obtained that can be reduced.
