Description

  The present invention relates to a valuable medium processing apparatus such as a sales depositing machine that manages sales received at a store, for example, and more specifically, a valuable medium processing apparatus capable of reliably depositing even a non-payment bill. The present invention relates to a valuable medium processing system and a valuable medium processing method.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the distribution industry such as department stores and retail stores, sales deposit machines for depositing and managing sales in stores are being installed from the viewpoint of improving sales management efficiency and preventing crimes against cash management.

  This sales deposit machine, for example, guides a banknote deposited at the time of banknote deposit to an identification unit in the machine to identify the authenticity, denomination, and number of banknotes. When the banknote is identified as a handleable banknote, the banknote is stored as a normal banknote in a safe inside the machine. On the other hand, if it is determined to be a fake banknote or an unidentifiable banknote, the received banknote is returned to the user as an abnormal banknote and the payment is rejected.

  In such a sales deposit machine, the authenticity determination level of the banknote is set high so that false banknotes and abnormal banknotes are not mixed. For this reason, in the case of a damaged banknote that is wrinkled or soiled during the circulation of banknotes, it may be returned as a false banknote or an abnormal banknote at the discriminating section even though it is a true banknote. is there. In this case, the clerk manually counted the returned banknotes, and the clerk manually entered the money into the sales deposit machine. As a result, the manually entered amount is printed on the statement slip, and the clerk puts the statement slip and the banknote bill into an envelope and throws it in a non-cash box.

  On the other hand, when the banknotes received are determined to be authentic by the identification unit, as a result, when a banknote determined to be a false banknote or an abnormal banknote is generated, the authentication level is changed so as to lower the authenticity determination level. At this time, a money processing device that can be stored in the device as a normal banknote when the banknote is recognized as a true banknote by performing the authenticity determination of the banknote again in the identification unit has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).

  In addition, when the clerk checks the returned banknote and recognizes it as a true banknote, it has a forced storage mode that forcibly stores the banknote inside the device, and switches to the forced storage mode by the operation of the clerk, A paper sheet processing apparatus for forcibly storing the banknote has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  According to these depositing methods, banknotes damaged during the distribution process can be forcibly deposited into the banknote depositing / dispensing machine, so that banknotes can be safely managed in the apparatus.

JP 2004-265288 A JP 2000-30106 A

  According to such a technique, in the case of banknotes deposited in an envelope, when the administrator closely examines the banknotes of the sales deposit machine, it was deposited in an envelope together with the cash box in the sales deposit machine. It was also collected from the non-cash box, and it was necessary for the administrator to manually check the depositor, the statement slip, and the enclosed banknote for each envelope, which caused a very troublesome work for the administrator.

  On the other hand, in the case of Patent Document 1, although the authenticity determination level can be adjusted, the authenticity determination level needs to be greatly reduced depending on the degree of damage of the banknote. Furthermore, even if the authenticity determination level is set to a plurality of stages and dealt with, there is a possibility that an adjustment limit will occur and it will eventually be returned.

  Moreover, in the case of patent document 2, forced payment becomes possible only when the attendant checks the returned banknote and recognizes it as a true banknote. At this time, it may be a device used by an attendant such as a counter terminal of a financial institution, but in the case of a sales depositing machine, an attendant who supports the authenticity determination of banknotes is not resident on the spot. Authenticity determination must be left to the user's own judgment, such as a store clerk, and is not realistic from the standpoint of actual operation.

  In view of the above-described problems, the present invention provides a valuable medium processing apparatus, a user-friendly administrator, and a valuable medium processing apparatus that can be reliably stored in a form in which history information about the received valuable medium remains when the valuable medium is received. It is an object to provide a medium processing system and a valuable medium processing method.

  The present invention relates to an input unit for inputting user information for identifying a user, a receiving port for receiving a transactional valuable medium, and a valuable medium received from the receiving port as an identification target. An identification unit for identifying information, a storage unit for storing received information relating to the valuable medium and the user information in association with each other, and a definite medium permitted to be accepted based on the identification result of the identification unit is determined and stored. It is a valuable medium processing apparatus provided with a fixed storage part and a forced storage part which stores when a valuable medium is forcibly stored without being fixed.

  According to the present invention, when a valuable medium is received, a valuable medium processing apparatus and a valuable medium processing system that can be reliably stored in a form in which history information relating to the received valuable medium remains is provided. In addition, a valuable medium processing method can be provided.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the appearance of the banknote deposit machine 1, and is installed in a backyard of a store such as a department store or a retail store. A store clerk (hereinafter referred to as a user) using the banknote depositing machine 1 confirms information related to the deposit displayed on the display operation unit 24 and performs an operation necessary for the deposit transaction of the banknote depositing machine 1 to the display operation unit 24. This is done by touching the display screen. The banknote depositing machine 1 includes a banknote processing unit 2, and a banknote depositing slot 10, a banknote return slot 12, and a card insertion slot 18 are provided on the upper front surface.

FIG. 2 shows the internal configuration of the banknote deposit machine 1.
This banknote deposit machine 1 performs handling such as feeding, transporting, and storing of banknotes S by a banknote processing unit 2 mounted therein. The banknote processing unit 2 includes a deposit port 10, an identification unit 11, a return port 12, a sorting gate 13, a forced deposit safe 3, and fixed deposit safes 4A to 4D.

  The deposit port 10 is provided as a receiving port for receiving a bill to be traded. Normally, it is closed by a shutter and is opened and closed at the time of deposit transaction.

  The identification unit 11 is provided on a bill conveyance path that communicates with the inside of the deposit port 10. The identification unit 11 includes a number detection sensor 14 that detects the number of banknotes S, a determination detection sensor 16 that determines the authenticity and denomination of the banknotes S, a camera 15 that captures an image of the banknotes S, and the like. Whether the deposited banknote S is normal or abnormal is identified based on a plurality of determination items, and when the banknote S is conveyed, the state of the banknote is identified by these sensors 14 and 16 and the camera 15. Is taken in as. The identification information captured here is transmitted to the main control unit 20 described later, and is used for the operation of the banknote deposit machine 1 by a predetermined method.

  The return port 12 is provided in the vicinity of the deposit port 10, and returns the banknote identified by the identifying unit 11 as a fake banknote or an unidentifiable banknote.

  The banknote depositing machine 1 is provided with a depositing port 10, an identification unit 11 and a return port 12 at the upper part and is handled as a banknote depositing / dispensing processing unit, and is equipped with a forced depositing safe 3 and fixed depositing safes 4A to 4D at the lower part for storing banknotes. Treated as a processing unit. And the distribution gate 13 for banknote distribution is arrange | positioned in each conveyance switching part of a conveyance path.

  The forced insertion safe 3 forcibly stores the banknote S received as the forced storage unit without determining the banknote regardless of the identification result of the identification unit 11. Further, the confirmed safes 4A to 4D serve as confirmed storage units for storing banknotes determined to be normal banknotes based on the identification result of the identification unit 11.

  In addition, the banknote processing unit 2 can be configured to omit the temporary storage unit in the operation for processing only for depositing, and the bill depositing machine 1 can be simplified. In such a configuration, the temporary storage unit is not configured, but if necessary, one of the confirmed safes 4A to 4D can be used as a temporary storage unit, or a separate temporary storage unit can be used. May be installed.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a control configuration of the banknote deposit machine 1.
In this block diagram, reference numeral 20 denotes a main control unit that controls each part of the banknote deposit machine 1. Reference numeral 21 denotes a ROM that records an operation program or the like of the main control unit 20, and 22 denotes a RAM that records control data that the main control unit 20 controls each unit in a readable / writable manner.

  Inside the banknote processing unit 2, as described above, in addition to the identification unit 11, the sorting gate 13, the forced deposit safe 3, and the final deposit safes 4 </ b> A to 4 </ b> D, the deposit slot bill detection that detects the presence or absence of the bill S in the deposit slot 10. A sensor 17 is mounted.

  Further, the banknote deposit machine 1 is provided with a card reading unit 23 that communicates with the inside of the card insertion slot 18. The card reading unit 23 reads a card on which the user's account number is recorded when depositing. Furthermore, it is equipped with a display function and a touch input function that display information necessary for the user, and displays information necessary for the user to make a deposit operation, and is used when the operation necessary for the deposit operation is input by touch. A display operation unit 24 serving both as a display and an input is provided. Moreover, the communication part 25 which transmits / receives information between the high-order apparatuses 151 (refer FIG. 15) mentioned later is provided.

  Reference numeral 26 denotes an information storage unit composed of a RAM, which stores banknote image information 27 and transaction management information 28 indicating status information for each transaction at the time of forced payment based on the identification result in a predetermined area. .

  The main control unit 20 stores related information that associates user information for identifying the user during the banknote acceptance process and acceptance information regarding the banknote S received from the deposit slot 10, and stores the banknote S in the apparatus. It has a control function to be stored in the safes 3, 4A to 4D.

  Here, as the user information, an ID card for identifying the user himself / herself is inserted into the card insertion slot 18 and read by the card reader 23, whereby the user himself / herself can be identified from the ID card. In addition, the display operation unit 24 may input necessary information for identifying the user.

  At this time, when the date information and the information specifying the user are added as user information, the user can be specified more accurately and without error. In addition to date information and ID information, information such as time and account number may be used. In this case, even the same user can be managed by dividing it into a plurality of transactions.

  Further, the acceptance information confirms that the bill has been accepted by the detection signal of the deposit port bill detection sensor 17. Further, the identification unit 11 accurately identifies the state of the accepted banknotes one by one based on the identification result information on the authenticity, denomination, and number of banknotes.

  The related information is obtained by associating user information and acceptance information in accordance with a program stored in the ROM 21 and storing them in the RAM 22 to obtain a transaction history. The transaction history based on this related information is used as evidence for deposit operation. Can be managed as

  By having such a deposit function, a transaction history at the time of banknote acceptance can be secured and the banknote S can be received by the forced deposit safe 3 or the confirmed deposit safes 4A to 4D inside the apparatus. For this reason, it can be stored in the apparatus in a form in which a history remains.

  Furthermore, the main control unit 20 stores the accepted banknotes in the final safes 4A to 4D based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 during the banknote acceptance process, and returns the rejected banknotes to the return port 12. Control is performed to either the identification acceptance mode to be performed or the forced storage mode in which the accepted banknote is stored in the forced safe 3 regardless of the identification result of the identification unit 11 and the related information stored in the RAM 22 is stored. It has a control function.

  When the identification receiving mode accepts and identifies a banknote by the identification unit 11, a normal deposit process is executed in which it is captured when it is determined that the banknote is properly read and is returned if there is an abnormal banknote. (Hereinafter referred to as normal deposit mode).

  The forced storage mode refers to a mode in which a forced storage processing operation is performed in which the stored bills are always stored in the apparatus without returning the accepted banknotes.

  The main control unit 20 has the two mode selection functions as described above, so that it accepts normal banknotes and stores them in the confirmed safes 4A to 4D. At this time, if banknotes that are damaged during the distribution process are mixed, even if the identification unit 11 erroneously identifies and returns an abnormal banknote in the case of the normal deposit mode, By forcibly storing again in the forced storage mode, the returned banknote can be securely stored in the apparatus, and all banknotes can be safely managed in the apparatus.

  Therefore, for example, it is not necessary to rely on another operation procedure such as an envelope deposit method, and the transaction operation procedure is simplified. Moreover, by storing the returned unconfirmed banknote in the forced insertion safe 3, it can be stored separately from the banknote identified as normal, and normal banknotes and abnormal banknotes are mixed at the time of banknote inspection. Can be prevented.

  Further, it is only necessary to store and manage information associated with only a small number of returned unconfirmed banknotes, and since data of all banknotes is not stored, the amount of stored data can be reduced. Further, it is possible to instruct the user input means to input the denomination and the number of sheets forcibly stored using the display operation unit 24. That is, at the time of re-acceptance of the returned banknote, it is possible to store the returned banknote as a part of the user information by designating and inputting which denomination and how many.

  It should be noted that it is preferable to ensure the transaction verification by inputting the number of deposits and the denomination at the time of deposit to the display operation unit 24 in the normal deposit mode.

  Further, when the main control unit 20 has a banknote that has been rejected and returned in the identification reception mode, the identification reception mode is executed or the forced storage mode is executed when the returned banknote is re-accepted. It has a function as a selection means that enables the user to select whether to do.

  By providing this selection means, it is possible to select whether or not the user forcibly stores the banknote in the apparatus with respect to the banknote that has been determined to be abnormal and returned.

  FIG. 4 shows a deposit acceptance screen 41 for guiding the deposit with the display operation unit 24. The deposit acceptance screen 41 displays a deposit acceptance button 42, and when the deposit acceptance button 42 is pressed, the deposit transaction in the normal deposit mode is executed.

  FIG. 5 shows a selection input screen 51 for allowing the display operation unit 24 to selectively input a transaction mode. This selection input screen 51 is used when the normal deposit mode executed on the deposit acceptance screen 41 is executed, and when there is a bill that has been rejected and returned, the identification acceptance is performed when the returned bill is re-accepted. The screen which enables a user to select whether to execute the mode or the forced storage mode is shown.

  Reference numeral 52 denotes a normal deposit button, which is pressed when selecting a normal deposit mode for identifying whether the deposited banknote S is normal or abnormal based on a plurality of determination items. Reference numeral 53 denotes a forced deposit button which is pressed when a forced deposit mode is selected for a bill returned as a result of normal deposit.

  FIG. 6 shows a deposit start screen 61 after the normal deposit mode is selected on the display operation unit 24.

  Reference numeral 62 denotes a start / end button which is pressed when the deposit process is started or terminated after the banknote S is loaded in the deposit slot 10. Reference numeral 63 denotes a display input area, which is a display area for displaying the denomination, number of sheets, and total amount of the deposited banknotes in the normal deposit mode, and the user inputs the denomination, number of sheets, and total amount of the forced deposit banknotes in the forced deposit mode. It has a display input function as an input area. Even in the normal deposit mode, the collation information may be further increased by increasing the related information with the user by inputting the deposit information such as the denomination and the number of sheets by the user.

  Moreover, the user can display in detail the identification information of the banknote acquired when the deposited banknote S passes through the identification unit 11 by the detail button 64.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the banknote detail screen 71 displayed when the detail button 64 is pressed in the normal deposit mode.
The banknote detail screen 71 includes a front and back image 72 of the banknote acquired by the identification unit 11, a serial number enlarged image 73 obtained by cutting out only the serial number part from the image of the banknote, and the identification unit 11 performing character recognition from the serial number image. The obtained serial number recognition result 74 is displayed.

  By displaying the serial number enlarged image 73 and the serial number recognition result 74 side by side, the user can visually confirm that the serial number has been recognized without error for the banknotes deposited by the user. In addition, even when a part of the serial number cannot be recognized due to dirt adhesion or the like, the reason why the serial number enlarged image 73 cannot be recognized becomes clear by displaying the serial number enlarged image 73, and the serial number enlarged image 73 is saved as a log. Thus, it is possible to refer not only to the recognition result but also to the image data, and to associate the deposited banknote with the user without error even after the transaction ends. At this time, the image data of the front and back images 72 can be reduced by reducing the resolution to such an extent that the entire banknote can be understood. 75 is an item switching button, and 76 is a bill switching button.

  On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows an example of the returned banknote detail screen 81 displayed by pressing the detail button 64 in the forced deposit mode. The returned banknote detail screen 81 displays a front and back image 82 of the banknote acquired by the identification unit 11, a display 84 of transaction management information of the forced deposit transaction, a confirmation button 85 for completing the forced deposit process, and a virtual envelope 83. . Reference numeral 86 denotes a scroll button for switching images, 87 denotes a graffiti, and 88 denotes a damaged portion of the banknote.

  If displayed in this way, the user can check all images of the transaction on the spot regardless of the identification result of the identification unit 11. Moreover, since the user can grasp at a glance also at the time of compulsory payment subject to the identification restriction, the user's satisfaction can be obtained. That is, it has a function that allows the user to clearly check the data of return bills that are forcibly stored when the forced deposit mode is selected.

FIG. 9 to FIG. 13 are flowcharts showing an acceptance processing procedure at the time of banknote depositing, and each step is a process executed by the main control unit 20.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart at the start of deposit acceptance. Normally, the banknote deposit machine 1 has a deposit acceptance screen 41 displayed on the display operation unit 24 as shown in FIG. And it waits for the receipt button 42 of the receipt screen 41 (step S1) to be pushed. When the deposit acceptance button 42 is pressed by the user (step S2), the banknote accepted by the deposit slot 10 is taken into the deposit slot 10 and identified by the identification unit 11 (step S3). At this time, if there is an unidentifiable banknote (step S4), the unidentified banknote is returned to the return port (step S5).

  A screen for re-accepting the returned bill is displayed on the display operation unit 24 (see FIG. 5). Then, the user selects the normal deposit mode or the forced deposit mode (step S6). When the normal deposit mode is selected, the processes after step S3 are executed (steps S3 to S6).

  On the other hand, when the forced deposit mode is selected, the returned banknote is forcibly deposited and all the banknotes are captured. Thereby, one payment transaction is completed. In addition, if there is no banknote which cannot be identified when the identification part 11 identifies in step S4 (step S4: NO), it will determine with all being a normal banknote and will complete | finish a transaction. Further, if neither the normal deposit mode nor the forced deposit mode is selected even if a predetermined time has passed in Step S7 and Step S8: NO, it is determined that the deposit processing of the returned banknote is stopped and the transaction ends (Step S7: NO, Step S8: NO).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the deposit processing procedure in the normal deposit mode.
When the user selects the normal deposit button 52 and then inserts the bill S into the deposit slot 10 and presses the start / end button 62, the main control unit 20 enters the deposit slot 10 by the detection output of the deposit slot bill detection sensor 17. It is determined that there is a bill S and there is an instruction for depositing the bill S (step S11: YES), the bill S is fed out and conveyed to the identification unit 11 (step S12). The identification unit 11 identifies whether the banknote S is normal or abnormal based on a plurality of determination items such as authenticity determination and denomination determination (step S13).

  In addition, the identification unit 11 acquires the front and back images of the banknote S using the camera 15 (step S14). The main control unit 20 confirms whether or not the banknote S is identified as normal by the identification unit 11 (step S15). When the banknote S is identified as normal (step S15: YES), the banknote S is designated from the identification unit 11. The final safes 4A to 4D are transported (step S16).

  After the conveyance, it is determined whether or not all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 are gone (step S17). If there are still banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 (step S17: NO), the processing from step S12 described above is executed. To do.

  On the other hand, when it is identified that the banknote S is abnormal by the identification unit 11 in step S15 (step S15: NO), the banknote S is conveyed from the identification unit 11 to the return port 12 and returned (step S18).

  Thus, the banknote S identified as abnormal by the identification unit 11 is a banknote that does not satisfy at least one item among the plurality of determination items, and is, for example, a banknote of a denomination that cannot be handled by the banknote deposit machine 1. Although it is a true banknote, since it is in a damaged state such as wrinkled or dirty, banknotes that cannot be determined as a true banknote by the identification unit 11 are also included.

  Thereafter, the main control unit 20 determines whether or not all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 have been exhausted (step S19), and if there are still banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 (step S19: NO), the process proceeds to step S12. Then, the banknote S is fed out from the deposit port 10 and conveyed to the identification unit 11, and the banknote S is identified by the identification unit 11 as described above. On the other hand, when all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 are exhausted (step S17: YES, step S19: YES), the feeding is terminated, and the denomination, number and total amount of the banknotes S are displayed in the display input area 63.

  The user may insert the banknote S conveyed to the return port 12 into the deposit port 10 again and press the start / end button 62 again. The banknote S returned to the return slot 12 even if the deposit process is performed in the regular deposit mode is performed in the forced deposit mode shown in FIG. 11 or FIG.

11 and 12 are flowcharts showing the deposit processing procedure in the forced deposit mode.
After the user selects the forced deposit button 53, the denomination information and the number information to be deposited by forced deposit are input to the display input area 63 (step S21), and the bill S is inserted into the deposit slot 10 to start / end. When the button 62 is pressed, the main control unit 20 determines that there is a bill S in the deposit slot 10 according to the detection output of the deposit slot bill detection sensor 17, and there is an instruction to deposit the bill S (step S22: YES), and the bill. S is paid out from the deposit port 10 and conveyed to the identification unit 11 (step S23).

  In the identification unit 11, the number and denomination are identified by the number detection sensor 14 and the discrimination detection sensor 16 (step S24). In addition, the identification unit 11 acquires the front and back images of the banknote S by the camera 15 (step S25). Thereafter, the banknote S is stored in the forced insertion safe 3 (step S26).

  After storing, it is determined whether or not all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 have been exhausted (step S27). If there are still banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 (step S27: NO), the process proceeds to step S23. The bill S is fed out and conveyed to the identification unit 11, and the identification unit 11 identifies the number and type of the bill S as described above. When all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 are exhausted (step S27: YES), the feeding is finished.

  In step S28, the main control unit 20 determines whether or not the number of sheets in the forced deposit process has been identified for the fed banknotes. If the number is not fixed (step S28: NO), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “3” (confirmation 3 required) (step S22), and the forced deposit is terminated. As described above, the user can confirm that the transaction status is “3” (required confirmation 3) on the front and back images 82 of the banknote forcibly deposited on the returned banknote detail screen 81 and the display 84 of the transaction management information. it can.

  Note that the case where the number of sheets is not fixed includes the case where take-out or two sheets are generated when the money is fed out of the deposit port 10 and the identification unit 11 cannot recognize the number of sheets.

  On the other hand, when the number of sheets has been determined in step S28 (step S28: YES), it is next determined whether or not the denomination has been identified for all banknotes S in the forced deposit transaction (step S29). If all denominations are not confirmed (step S29: NO), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “2” (confirmation 2 required) (step S23), and the forced deposit is terminated.

  All denominations are confirmed (step S29: YES), and it is determined whether or not the identified number information and denomination information match the number information and denomination information input by the user (step S30). If they match (step S30: YES), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “1” (required confirmation 1) (step S31). Conversely, if they do not match (step S30: NO) Then, the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “2” (confirmation required 2) (step S33), and the forced deposit is terminated.

  According to the above procedure, even if the banknote is damaged during the distribution process, the user can temporarily store all the cash in the apparatus. Further, when the administrator of the banknote deposit machine 1 examines the effectiveness of each forced deposit transaction from the image data for the transaction stored in the forced deposit safe 3, the transaction management information 28 is used to manage the transaction. It is only necessary to carefully check the transaction data for only the transactions whose information 28 is “2” (confirmation required 2) and “3” (confirmation necessary 3).

  Furthermore, in order to reduce the management effort of the forced deposit transaction, the manager may return it to the return port 12 when the number of banknotes cannot be identified by the identification unit 11 at the time of forced deposit.

  Further, in FIG. 12, after the user selects the forced deposit button 53 (see FIG. 5) on the selection input screen 51, the denomination information and the number information to be deposited by forced deposit are input to the display input area 63 (step S40) When the bill S is inserted into the deposit slot 10 and the start / end button 62 is pressed, the main control unit 20 has the bill S in the deposit slot 10 according to the detection output of the deposit slot bill detection sensor 17, and the bill S It is determined that there is a deposit instruction (step S41: YES), the bill S is fed out and conveyed to the identification unit 11 (step S42).

  In the identification unit 11, the number and denomination are identified by the number detection sensor 14 and the discrimination detection sensor 16 (step S43). In addition, the identification unit 11 acquires the front and back images of the banknote S using the camera 15 (step S44). Here, the main control unit 20 determines whether or not the number of sheets has been identified (step S45). When the number is not determined (step S45: NO), the banknote S is conveyed from the identification unit 11 to the return port 12 and returned (step S52).

  After the return, it is determined whether or not all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 are gone (step S53). If there are still banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 (step S53: NO), the process proceeds to step S42, and the deposit slot 10 is reached. The bill S is fed out and conveyed to the identification unit 11, and the identification unit 11 identifies the number and type of the bill S as described above. When all the banknotes S in the deposit port 10 are exhausted (step S53: YES), the deposit process is terminated. The user may insert the banknote S conveyed to the return port 12 into the deposit port 10 again and press the start / end button 62 again.

  On the other hand, when the number of sheets is determined by the identification unit 11 (step S45: YES), the banknote S is stored in the forced insertion safe 3 (step S46). After storing, it is determined whether or not all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 have been exhausted (step S47). If there are still banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 (step S47: NO), the process proceeds to step S42. The bill S is fed out and conveyed to the identification unit 11, and the identification unit 11 identifies the number and type of the bill S as described above.

  When all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 are exhausted (step S47: YES), the feeding is finished. Next, in step S48, it is determined whether or not a denomination has been identified for all banknotes S in the forced deposit transaction. When all the denominations are not fixed (step S48: NO), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “2” (required confirmation 2) (step S51), and the forced deposit is terminated.

  All denominations are confirmed (step S48: YES), and it is determined whether or not the identified number information and denomination information match the number information and denomination information input by the user (step S49). If they match (step S49: YES), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “1” (required confirmation 1) (step S50). Conversely, if they do not match (step S49: NO). Then, the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “2” (required confirmation 2) (step S51), and the forced deposit is terminated.

  According to the above procedure, at least the number of banknotes in the forced safe deposit box has been determined, and the administrator can focus on the information on the denomination from the image data and scrutinize it, and the management effort can be reduced. .

  FIG. 13 shows a flowchart of the data processing procedure after the compulsory deposit transaction. After compulsory payment is completed, the front and back images of the banknote acquired by the identification unit 11 are associated with user information such as the user's account number, the terminal number of the used banknote deposit machine 1, the date, etc., and transaction data for each compulsory payment transaction. Is created (step S61).

  As a method of associating, image data with user information can be obtained by overwriting the user information on the background portion avoiding the serial number or portrait on the banknote image in order to maintain visibility. Specifically, the banknote image data acquired by the camera 15 such as a CCD camera is obtained as image data acquisition means using banknote image data of at least one side of the banknotes forcibly stored, and the banknote image data acquired by the camera 15 is acquired. Is stored as bill acceptance information.

  This makes it possible not only to leave a history as evidence by acquiring image data of deposited banknotes, but also for which banknotes are deposited by anyone at the time of scrutiny. It is possible to clarify whether it is a product.

  Or user information may be preserve | saved as text data, and text data and banknote image data may be managed as batch data. That is, text data and banknote image data may be combined. At this time, it is preferable to convert user information into image data in order to prevent tampering and to synthesize the converted image data with the banknote image data. In this synthesis, the synthesis can be performed by the main control unit 20 as a synthesis means (see FIG. 14). Thus, instead of opening a plurality of associated files, all information is included in one image data. Thereby, not only management is convenient, but visibility is enhanced.

  Further, a tampering prevention process may be performed by adding a digital watermark to the transaction data (step S62). In this case, it is possible to prevent falsification by embedding electronic information in the banknote image data, and it is possible to further improve the reliability and evidence of the image data. Besides the digital watermark, a method of setting a password for each transaction data may be used.

  According to the above procedure, the history of forced deposit transactions performed by the user can be reliably kept, and after the user performs the forced deposit transaction, the administrator performs a scrutiny of the forced deposit transaction. This guarantees that transaction data has not been tampered with, and can be used by users and managers as reliable data for establishing a reliable transaction. That is, since a transaction history can be secured as a depositing means instead of the conventional envelope depositing operation, the user is not anxious and the psychological barrier is solved.

Furthermore, FIG. 14 shows an example of a guidance screen by moving image display during forced deposit transaction as means for visually confirming transaction data processing of forced deposit by the display operation unit 24 of the banknote deposit machine 1.
Reference numeral 142 denotes an envelope on which user information including a user account number, a terminal number of the used banknote deposit machine 1 and a date is printed. 143 is a content confirmation button used when reconfirming the banknote image in the envelope, and 144 is a completion button for completing the forced deposit transaction.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the user confirms the front and back image 82 of the banknote on the return banknote detail screen 81 of the forced deposit transaction and presses the confirmation button 85, the front and back image 82 is displayed on the virtual envelope 83 on the screen. It is loaded to be sucked. Thereafter, the user information is overwritten on the virtual envelope 142 shown in FIG. 14 as if it had been printed.

  When the content confirmation button 143 is pressed, the returned banknote detail screen 81 is displayed again, and the contents of the banknote image can be confirmed. By enabling such display switching, the user can store the banknotes of the user in the envelope as if the envelope has been used in the past, and the receiving information and the user information are associated with each other. You can intuitively understand what is being done.

  When the completion button 144 is pressed, a state in which the printed envelope 142 is posted on the virtual safe 146 as shown in the screens 145 and 147 is displayed as a moving image. Thereby, it is easy to understand by visually expressing that the forced deposit banknote of the user is certainly managed by the banknote deposit machine 1 in terms of data.

  In embodiment mentioned above, the case where a user operated the display operation part 24 of the banknote depositing machine 1 and instruct | indicated directly to the banknote depositing machine 1 was mentioned as an example. On the other hand, an embodiment in which the information stored in the banknote deposit machine 1 is displayed and made to be visually recognized by the administrator to be indirectly examined on the electronic data will be described below.

  When examining the banknote, the manager may directly check and examine the status information of the forced deposit transaction by directly operating the display operation unit 24 of the banknote deposit machine 1, or the banknote deposit machine 1 as shown in FIG. Is connected to a host device 151 as a valuable medium management device via a communication line 158, and the administrator operates the host device 151 to obtain status information of the banknote deposit machine 1 forcibly deposited from the host device 151. You may make it confirm and scrutinize.

  When the administrator confirms and examines the status information of forced deposit transactions using the display operation unit 24, the display contents are appropriately used so that the user and the administrator can use the single display operation unit 24 separately. This can be realized by switching between the manager and the administrator. In addition to the display operation unit 24, the banknote deposit machine 1 may be configured to be managed by providing a display operation unit dedicated to the administrator, for example, on the inner surface of the back door.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of a banknote processing system configured by connecting the banknote deposit machine 1 and the host apparatus 151 described above. As described above, the banknote deposit machine 1 used here has a card reading unit 23 as a user input unit for inputting user information for specifying a user, a deposit port 10 for receiving a banknote to be traded, An identification unit 11 that identifies banknotes as identification targets, bank information received from the deposit slot 10, and a RAM 22 as a storage unit that stores the user information in association with the bank information, and the identification unit 11. The banknotes accepted based on the identification result are confirmed and stored in the banknote deposit machine 1 and the banknotes deposited from the deposit slot 10 are stored in the banknote deposit machine 1. A forced insertion safe 3 forcibly storing the banknotes without confirming them, and a camera 15 for acquiring banknote image data of at least one side of the banknotes forcibly stored in the forced insertion safes 3 are provided.

  On the other hand, the higher-level device 151 includes a control unit 152 that acquires and manages information that associates acceptance information including banknote image data related to banknotes that are forcibly stored in the forced insertion safe 3 and user information. The control unit 152 is connected to the banknote deposit machine 1 via the communication unit 153, controls data that is deposited according to a program stored in the ROM 154, and stores the control data in a readable manner in the RAM 155. ing.

  And the display part 156 which displays the banknote image data of the banknote which this control part 152 manages, and makes an administrator visually recognize, and the acceptance information regarding the banknote forcedly accommodated in the forced insertion safe 3 by an administrator An administrator input unit 157 that allows input of information is provided. The host device 151 can be configured by a personal computer including a display unit 156 that displays a banknote image on a liquid crystal display and an administrator input unit 157 such as a keyboard.

  The host device 151 is connected for communication so that a large number of banknote depositing machines 1 can be remotely monitored. From the host apparatus 151 side, an administrator can arbitrarily perform a close examination of the banknote depositing machine 1 at a remote position. It has become.

  As described above, the host device 151 includes the display unit 156 that allows the administrator to visually recognize the information acquired from the RAM 22 of the banknote deposit machine 1 and the administrator input unit 157 that serves as an input unit that inputs instruction information instructed by the administrator. I have. The instruction information input here corresponds to instruction information for holding or completing the deposit transaction in FIG. 17 described later, for example, and is operated by pressing the hold button 176 or the completion button 177.

  With the above-described configuration, the banknote image data becomes intuitive and easy-to-understand forced storage transaction history information for the administrator, and the administrator does not check the banknote in the storage unit at the time of scrutinization. Based on the identification result of the denomination and the number of sheets on the image data, if it is visually checked while paying attention only to items that could not be identified, accurate and easy examination can be performed without directly engaging the banknote deposit machine 1.

  For this reason, the efficiency of the confirmation work is high, and the operation of the image data subject can be realized, so that it is possible to realize the scrutiny work for a plurality of devices from a remote facility such as a central management center.

  Furthermore, since all can be managed on the image data, the administrator can identify from the higher-level device 151 and can instruct necessary information. Further, it is possible to efficiently process an unidentified banknote on an image without depending on a manual operation.

  In particular, the banknotes that are unconfirmed and stored in the banknote deposit machine 1 are scrutinized by the manager so that banknotes that cannot be handled as unidentifiable banknotes such as banknotes can be handled as normal banknotes. Thus, convenience in bill operation can be significantly improved.

  FIG. 16 is a display diagram illustrating an example of a scrutiny display screen displayed on the host device 151. The display unit 156 of the host device 151 has a display area 161 that displays status information of each forced deposit transaction. Of these, transaction management information “1” (required confirmation 1) indicating that two compulsory deposit transaction data have been read and confirmed is displayed in the upper first stage area 162. In the second row area 163, one transaction management information “2” (required confirmation 2) indicating that the number of denominations has been confirmed but the denomination has not been confirmed is displayed. One transaction management information “3” (required confirmation 3) indicating that the number of sheets is unconfirmed due to a conveyance abnormality or the like is displayed in the third-tier area 164.

  FIG. 17 shows specific information in the envelope sealed as electronic data on the display unit 156 of the host device 151. When the administrator instructs the manager input unit 157 to display the transaction data, the display unit 156 displays on the display unit 156 the denomination information requested by the user, the number information 171, and the front and back images 172 of the banknote obtained at the time of forced deposit. Are displayed side by side. Further, at this time, the denomination information, the number information 171 and the front and back images 172 of the banknote are compared, and if there is no error in the application amount, the completion button 177 is pressed to complete the deposit transaction. At this time, since it is recognized that the banknote is normal, it is treated in the same manner as the data when the deposit is confirmed in the normal deposit mode. 173 indicates a scroll bar, 174 indicates a graffiti, and 175 indicates a damaged portion of the banknote.

  Note that, when the transaction data is displayed on the display unit 156 and compared, if the administrator sees the transaction data, for example, it is recognized as a fake ticket, the administrator presses the hold button 176 to put the payment transaction on hold. And the manager should just confirm the actual banknote of the forced insertion safe 3 as needed. At this time, in order to efficiently extract the banknote of the forced deposit transaction that the administrator wants to confirm from the forced deposit safe, a banknote sorter 180 described later may be used.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the banknote sorting processing system of the banknote sorting machine 180, and is installed at a place where the forced insertion safe 3 is collected.
The banknote sorter 180 includes a deposit port 181 for inserting the banknote S therein, an identification unit 11, stackers 182A to 182C, and a sorting gate 183, and the banknote sorter 180 is connected to the host device 151 described above.

  When the administrator takes out the banknote S from the forced deposit safe 3 of the banknote deposit machine 1 and inserts it into the deposit port 181, the banknote fed out from the deposit port 181 is conveyed to the identification unit 11 having the same function as the identification unit 11, Front and back images are acquired. By comparing the front and back images acquired here and the front and back images 82 of banknotes acquired at the time of forced depositing via the host device 151, the banknote sorter 180 can only check banknotes during forced deposit transactions that the administrator needs to check. Can be distributed to a specific stacker (for example, 182B). Note that the front and back images 82 of banknotes acquired at the time of forced depositing may be recorded in a memory built in the forced deposit safe 3 other than via the connected higher-level device 151, and the banknote sorter 180 may refer to this memory. .

  According to the above procedure, it is possible to easily take out only the banknote instructed to be held in FIG. 17 from the forced deposit safe in which a plurality of forced deposit transaction banknotes are mixed, thereby reducing the amount of time required for the manager's scrutinization of the forced deposit transaction. It becomes possible to make it.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where the valuable medium processing apparatus in connection with this invention was made into the banknote deposit machine which deposits a banknote is mentioned as an example, this invention is not limited to this, In addition to this, it is a coin. A coin depositing machine that accepts and deposits, a bill depositing / dispensing machine that performs depositing and dispensing of banknotes or coins with the same device, and a coin depositing and dispensing machine may be used. Furthermore, it may be a securities such as a gift certificate or a coupon instead of banknotes.

  The above-described banknote deposit machine 1 accepts banknotes in the normal deposit mode first, and when returning banknotes that cannot be read when the transaction is started, the bank deposit machine 1 selects the normal deposit mode again or shifts to the forced deposit mode. This is dealt with by allowing the user to select the deposit mode.

  On the other hand, it is also possible to adopt and configure an operation program that accepts banknotes from the beginning in the forced deposit mode and executes deposit processing. Hereinafter, this method will be described in Example 2 described later.

In the second embodiment, the structure of the banknote deposit machine 1 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and the control program is only partially different. Therefore, different control program parts will be described.
The control program here stores, in the acceptance process of banknotes, banknotes that are permitted to be accepted based on the identification result of the identification unit 11 in the definite insertion safes 4A to 4D, while the banknotes that have been rejected are stored in the forced insertion safes. 3 and a function of storing the associated related information in the RAM 22.

  By adopting such a configuration, even if the identification unit 11 erroneously identifies the banknote as an abnormal banknote when a banknote banknote is deposited, the banknote is stored inside the apparatus without being returned. Can do. Thereby, it can be used as a compulsory deposit machine which accommodates all the accepted banknotes inside the apparatus regardless of the degree of banknotes of the banknotes to be traded. Therefore, the user does not receive the returned banknote and all the banknotes are reliably taken into the interior by one deposit and the deposit transaction is completed, so that the labor is saved and the deposit operation is extremely simple.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the deposit processing procedure in the forced deposit mode, and FIG. 20 is a flowchart in the forced deposit mode following FIG.
In FIG. 19, when the user selects the normal deposit button 52 and then inserts the bill S into the deposit slot 10 and presses the start / end button 62, the main control unit 20 uses the detection output of the deposit slot bill detection sensor 17. It is determined that there is a bill S in the deposit slot 10 and there is a deposit instruction for the bill S (step S71: YES), the bill S is fed out and conveyed to the identification unit 11 (step S72). The identification unit 11 identifies whether the banknote S is normal or abnormal based on a plurality of determination items such as authenticity determination and denomination determination (step S73).

  In addition, the identification unit 11 acquires front and back images of the banknote S using the camera 15 (step S74). The main control unit 20 confirms whether or not the banknote S is identified as normal by the identification unit 11 (step S75). If the banknote S is identified as normal (step S75: YES), the banknote S is designated from the identification unit 11. Then, it is transported to any one of the confirmed safes 4A to 4D (step S76).

  After the conveyance, it is determined whether or not all the banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 are gone (step S77). If there are still banknotes S in the deposit slot 10 (step S77: NO), the process proceeds to step S72. The banknote S is fed out from 10 and conveyed to the identification unit 11, and the banknote S is identified by the identification unit 11 as described above.

  On the other hand, if the banknote S is identified as abnormal by the identification unit 11 in step S75 (step S75: NO), the banknote S is conveyed from the identification unit 11 to the forced deposit safe 3 without being confirmed and forcibly deposited (step). S78).

  In step S79, the main control unit 20 determines whether or not all the sheets in the forced deposit process have been identified for the forcibly deposited banknotes. If the number is not fixed (step S79: NO), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “3” (confirmation 3 required) (step S83), and the forced deposit is terminated. As described above, the user can confirm that the transaction status is “3” (confirmation required 3) on the front and back images 82 and the transaction management information display 84 of the banknote forcibly deposited on the returned banknote detail screen 81. .

  On the other hand, when the number of sheets is confirmed in step S79 (step S79: YES), it is next determined whether or not the denominations have been identified for all banknotes S in the forced deposit transaction (step S80). If all denominations are not confirmed (step S80: NO), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “2” (confirmation 2 required) (step S84), and the forced deposit is terminated.

  All denominations are confirmed (step S80: YES), and it is determined whether or not the identified number information and denomination information match the number information and denomination information input by the user (step S81). If they match (step S81: YES), the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “1” (required confirmation 1) (step S82). Conversely, if they do not match (step S81: NO). Then, the transaction management information 28 of the forced deposit transaction is set to “2” (required confirmation 2) (step S84), and the forced deposit is terminated.

  According to the above procedure, even if the banknote is damaged during the distribution process, the user can temporarily store all the cash in the apparatus. Further, when the administrator of the banknote deposit machine 1 examines the effectiveness of each forced deposit transaction from the image data for the transaction stored in the forced deposit safe 3, the transaction management information 28 is used to manage the transaction. It is only necessary to carefully check transaction data only for transactions where the information 28 is “2” and “3”.

FIG. 21 shows an example of improving the deposit utilization efficiency of the user configured by connecting the banknote deposit machine 1 and the POS (point-of-sale information management) system 211 described above.
When the banknote deposit machine 1 is configured to be connected to the POS system 211, the deposit data input and collected in advance from the user's POS terminal 212 is managed by the POS server 214 via the POS communication network 213. . By connecting the POS server 214 and the banknote depositing machine 1 via a communication line, the user's POS terminal 212 and the banknote depositing machine 1 can be linked to each other, and before the deposit operation for sales proceeds in the banknote depositing machine 1. It is possible to efficiently obtain the number information and denomination information online based on the user's ID card.

  Thereby, the user knows the denomination and the number of banknote bundles to be deposited by the user at the time of depositing operation in the banknote depositing machine 1, and omits the labor of input operation such as performing the input operation at the time of depositing. Can be used efficiently.

  The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and embodiments having various configurations can be obtained. For example, in the example of the above-described embodiment, the combination example in which the banknote depositing machine 1 and the higher-level device 151 are connected is shown. It is also possible to connect the higher-level device 151 to the banknote deposit machine 1 having a management function so that a place to be used for scrutiny can be selected.

  The present invention can be applied to all types of devices for trading valuable media such as banknotes, coins, and securities such as sales deposit machines.
