Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus having a function of discriminating and counting cash in its own apparatus and examining the amount of money in the money type.

  As a conventional cash processing apparatus of this type, for example, there is an apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1. The cash processing apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a plurality of denomination cassettes (a plurality of storages) that store banknotes in denominations, and a discrimination unit that discriminates banknote denominations and counts banknotes in denominations. And it is provided with the rejection store | warehouse | chamber which accommodates one temporary holding part and the reject banknote discriminated with the rejection by the discrimination part, and a close examination is performed as follows.

  First, the banknotes in one denomination cassette are fed out, discriminated and counted by the discrimination unit, and then accumulated in the temporary holding unit. Each time a predetermined number of sheets are accumulated, the banknote in this temporary holding unit is transported to another denomination cassette. And the operation | movement accommodated by accumulating on the banknote accommodated in the money classification cassette is repeated, and one money classification cassette is made into an empty state.

  As a result, the banknote of the denomination type cassette storing the banknote of the denomination denominated in this way contains the banknote of the two denominations. After counting, the money is accumulated in the temporary holding unit, and every time a predetermined number of sheets are collected, the operation of transporting and storing the banknotes in the temporary holding unit into an empty money type cassette is repeated, The banknotes of the two denominations are stored in the denomination type cassette that is in an empty state.

  Next, after paying out banknotes from a denomination cassette containing banknotes of different denominations and discriminating and counting them by the discrimination unit, the banknotes in the temporary storage unit are emptied every time a predetermined number of sheets are collected. Repeat the operation of transporting and storing in the denomination cassette, emptying the denomination cassette from which the banknotes were fed, and repeating the operation of storing one denomination in the denomination cassette, After discriminating and counting banknotes of all denomination cassettes, the denomination banknotes stored on the upper side are fed out from the denomination cassette containing the two denominations of banknotes. Stored in a denomination cassette.

  Thus, while counting the banknotes of each denomination, the banknotes identified as rejects by the discrimination unit are stored in the reject store, and after counting the denominations of each denomination, the banknotes stored in the reject store are stored in the apparatus. The banknotes that have been inserted and re-differentiated by the discrimination unit and whose denomination is determined are counted and added to the counting result of the denomination-type banknotes.

JP 2010-108160 A "Example 4"

However, in the conventional technology described above, the banknotes stored in the reject store must be manually counted by the operator and the result of the count must be input. In addition, there is a problem that security is impaired because the operator touches the reject ticket.
An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

  Therefore, the present invention has a plurality of discriminating units for discriminating whether or not banknotes are denominated, rejected banknotes, and counting banknotes whose denominations are confirmed, and a plurality of depositing banknotes counted by this discrimination unit. It is stored in the money type storage, the reject box that stores the reject banknotes that are fed out from the money type storage and rejected by the discrimination unit, and are stored in the money type storage from the counting result in the discrimination unit. In a cash processing apparatus provided with a storage unit for storing the number of banknotes of different denominations and the number of denominations of banknotes existing in the apparatus, banknotes of one denomination type are transferred to banknotes of another denomination Is stored in a denomination storage where all the denominations are counted and discriminated, and two denominations of bills are mixed and stored, and the one denomination storage is emptied, Separated in empty denomination storage After all the banknotes in the denomination storage are moved while being discriminated and counted by the discrimination section, all the moved banknotes are moved to the original denomination storage while being discriminated and counted by the discrimination section In the original denomination storage, while discriminating and counting one denomination of the banknotes in the denomination storage where the two denominations of bills are finally stored By moving all of the banknotes into the original denomination type storage, the number of denominations of the banknotes in each denomination type storage is determined, and the ticket of each determined denomination is stored. And the number of denominated reject banknotes stored in the reject store including the reject banknotes at the time of movement of the banknotes from the number of denomination tickets determined before scrutiny To do.

  In the present invention thus configured, after the banknotes in each denomination type storage are moved to other denomination type storages at the time of automatic scrutiny, the discrimination and counting are performed in the discrimination unit, and then the banknotes in each denomination type storage are The number of tickets is determined for each denomination, and the number of tickets for each denomination stored in the reject box is determined from the number of tickets for each determined denomination and the number of banknotes for each denomination that has been determined before automatic scrutiny. Therefore, there is no need to manually count the banknotes stored in the reject box, and it is not necessary to input the counting results. In addition, since there is no burden, and the operator does not touch the reject ticket, the effect of maintaining high security can be obtained.

  Embodiments of a cash processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic side view showing the internal configuration of the first embodiment. This cash processing apparatus temporarily deposits a deposit ticket at the time of a deposit / withdrawal port 1 for depositing / dispensing a ticket (also referred to as banknote or cash) and deposit transaction. Temporary holding unit 2, discrimination unit 3 for discriminating and counting the denomination of tickets, multiple denomination storages 4 to 6 for storing tickets in denominations, and multi-feeding by the discrimination unit 3 during withdrawal transactions ( RJ storage (reject storage) 7 that stores rejected tickets (rejected banknotes) discriminated from rejects by multi-feeding and the like, and 2000 yen not used for withdrawal, and a transport path 8 that transports the tickets are provided.

  Here, the deposit / withdrawal port 1 has a depositing part and a withdrawal part, and can separately store tickets in the depositing part and the withdrawal part. The deposit / withdrawal port 1 is provided at the upper part on the front side of the apparatus, the temporary storage unit 2 is provided at the back side (rear) of the deposit / withdrawal port 1, and the denomination storages 4 to 6 are on the lower side of the apparatus. It is arranged side by side from the back. Moreover, the discrimination part 3 is arrange | positioned between the deposit / withdrawal port 1 and the temporary storage part 2, and the denomination storages 4-6, and the RJ storage 7 is united in the lower part of the denomination storage 6 (a separate body is also possible). Furthermore, the conveyance path 8 is arranged so as to connect the deposit / withdrawal port 1, the temporary holding unit 2, the discrimination unit 3, the denomination storage units 4 to 6, and the RJ unit 7.

  In this embodiment, the storage amounts (numbers) of the denomination storage boxes 4 and 5 are the same, the denomination storage box 4 is 10,000 yen (10,000 yen bills), and the denomination storage box 5 is 1000 yen. It shall store tickets (thousand yen bills). Further, since the denomination storage 6 is provided with the RJ storage 7 at the lower part, the banknote storage amount is smaller than the banknote storage amounts of the denomination storages 4 and 5. 5,000 yen coupons (5,000 yen banknotes) not used for withdrawals shall be stored. The ticket storage amount of the RJ warehouse 7 is smaller than the ticket storage amount of the denomination storage 6.

Operation | movement of the cash processing apparatus by such a structure is demonstrated. In addition, the cash processing apparatus of a present Example shall be operated by the operator (bankman) of a financial institution.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by a control unit (not shown) based on a program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown), and the control unit reads information from the storage unit and the like. The control based on this is omitted unless necessary.

  First, payment will be described. When a ticket is put into the depositing section of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 by the operator, the tickets are fed one by one and sent to the discrimination section 3 through the conveyance path 8 for discrimination such as denomination. As a result, the ticket that is identified as rejected due to unknown denomination or overfeed is sent to the withdrawal part of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 through the transport path 8 as a deposit reject ticket and accumulated. The tickets whose denominations are determined are counted for each denomination, and then conveyed to the temporary holding unit 2 through the conveyance path 8 and accumulated.

  When all the inserted tickets are identified, counted, and accumulated in the temporary holding unit 2, if there is a deposit reject ticket in the deposit unit of the deposit / withdrawal port 1, the deposit reject ticket is returned to the apparatus operator. Further, regarding the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage unit 2, the number of money types and the amount of money are displayed on a display unit (not shown), and when the operator inputs confirmation (accommodation instructions) by looking at it, the temporary storage unit 2 is displayed. The tickets accumulated in the box are fed out one by one, and after the denomination is discriminated in the discrimination section 3, they are transported and stored in the denomination storages 4-6 according to the denomination. The ticket (two thousand yen bill) is transported to and stored in the RJ warehouse 7.

Although the deposit process is performed in this way, the data of the number of denominations and the amount of money stored in the denominated tickets, that is, the denomination storages 4 to 6 and the RJ depot 7, are not shown. And is cumulatively added every time a deposit is made. Next, withdrawal will be described. When the withdrawal amount is input by the apparatus operator, tickets are paid out one by one from the denomination storages 4 to 6 and sent to the discrimination unit 3 by the transport path 8 to discriminate the denomination and the like. As a result, the ticket discriminated from the rejection due to unknown denomination or overfeeding is sent to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a withdrawal reject banknote and stored. After the denomination is determined, the denomination is counted for each denomination, and then sent to the withdrawal portion of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 through the conveyance path 8 and accumulated. Then, when the banknotes corresponding to the withdrawal amount are accumulated in the withdrawal part of the deposit / withdrawal port 1, they are paid to the operator.

  The withdrawal process is performed in this way, but the number of money types and the amount data of the dispensed tickets are stored in a storage unit (not shown) and each time a withdrawal is made, It is subtracted from the balance data by the number of money type and the amount control unit. Further, when a rejection occurs during the withdrawal process, the number of occurrences is also stored.

  By the way, in such a cash processing apparatus, since the number and amount of money types of tickets deposited or withdrawn at the time of deposit / withdrawal processing are counted as described above, the control unit determines the apparatus from the coefficient result. It is possible to recognize the number of denominations and the amount of money of each denomination existing in the bank, but if a rejection occurs during the withdrawal process, it may not be possible to recognize how many banknotes are Therefore, for each denomination ticket in the denomination storages 4 to 6, in order to determine the number and amount of money, it is necessary to actually count by an automatic scrutiny process.

  Next, the automatic scrutiny processing of the bill (banknote) in the apparatus will be described. 2 to 4 are flow charts showing the operation of the embodiment, showing the procedure of the automatic scrutiny process, and will be described according to the steps indicated by S in FIGS. Note that the number and amount data of each denomination type ticket counted in this automatic scrutiny process is distinguished from the number and amount data of each denomination type ticket before automatic scrutiny and stored in a storage unit (not shown) every time counting is performed. Shall be remembered.

  When an operator operates an input unit (not shown) and inputs an instruction for automatic scrutiny, the control unit determines the number (deposit) of each denomination ticket stored in the denomination storages 4 to 6. That the RJ warehouse 7 is not full, the estimated number of thousand yen bills b stored in the denomination storage 5 and the estimated number of 5,000 yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 6. It is determined whether or not the three conditions that the sum of c is equal to or less than the upper limit number F of tickets that can be stored in the denomination storage 6 (b + c ≦ F) are satisfied (S1).

In this case, the actual number of thousand yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 5 and the actual number of five thousand yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 6 are uncertain as described above. If a rejection occurs during the withdrawal process for these denominations, the number of rejections is stored, and an approximate number can be estimated from the number of rejections. The same applies to the reject ticket in the RJ warehouse 7.
If the three conditions are not satisfied, a predetermined process by the operator (hereinafter referred to as operator process) (S22) is performed. If the three conditions are satisfied, the denomination is stored as the first stage of the ticket movement. The thousand yen ticket stored in the storage 5 is moved to the denomination storage 6 (S2).

FIGS. 5A and 5B are views showing the storage state of the tickets in each store in the first stage of the ticket movement. FIG. 5A shows the state before the movement, and FIG. 5B shows the state after the movement.
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the denomination storage 4 before the ticket movement has a 10,000 yen vouchers (estimated number), the denomination storage 5 has b thousand yen vouchers (estimated number), It is assumed that c thousand (estimated number) of 5,000 yen tickets are stored in the denomination storage 6, and the RJ storage 7 stores an undecided number of reject tickets, the number of which is X To do. Here, the reject tickets stored in the RJ warehouse 7 are four denominations of 10,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 2000 yen, and all 4 types of reject tickets are temporarily stored. Assuming that the estimated number of 10,000 yen tickets is d, the estimated number of thousand yen tickets is e, the estimated number of 5,000 yen tickets is f, and the number of 2000 yen tickets is already counted, so that number is g , X is the total number (X = d + e + f + g).

  When moving the 1000 yen ticket to the denomination storage 6, the 1000 yen voucher is fed out from the denomination storage 5 one by one and transported to the discrimination section 3 by the transport path 8. I do. As a result, the ticket identified as rejected due to unknown denomination or overfeeding is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored. After the denomination is confirmed, the ticket is counted and then transported to the temporary storage unit 2 through the transport path 8 and accumulated. If the temporary storage unit 2 is full or the denomination storage 5 is empty, it is temporarily stored. A thousand yen ticket is paid out from the section 2 and transported to the discrimination section 3 by the transport path 8, and after the discrimination and counting of the denomination and the like are performed by the discrimination section 3, the transport is stored in the denomination storage 6. In this case, the thousand yen coupons are stored in a form that accumulates on the five thousand yen coupons in the denomination storage 6. Further, even when moving from the temporary holding unit 2 to the denomination storage 6, the ticket identified as reject is transported and stored in the RJ storage 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket.

  During the movement of the thousand yen voucher in the first stage, the control unit judges (monitors) whether the denomination storage 6 or the RJ warehouse 7 is full (S3). (S4) and the operator process (S22), but if it is not full, then it is determined whether or not the movement of the thousand yen voucher has been completed (S5). If not, the operation from S2 is repeated.

In this way, when all the thousand yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 5 are paid out and moved to the denomination storage 6, the denomination storage 4 has the following as shown in FIG. Ten thousand yen tickets are stored, the denomination storage 5 becomes empty (0 sheets), and the denomination storage 6 stores c 5,000 yen and 1,000 yen. Since the number of thousand yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 6 is counted, it is assumed that it has been temporarily determined (hereinafter temporarily determined). Further, when a rejection occurs during this movement, the rejected ticket is stored in the RJ store 7, and therefore the number of tickets stored in the RJ store 7 is handled as unconfirmed.
When the movement of the thousand yen ticket is completed as described above, the 10,000 yen ticket stored in the denomination storage 4 is then moved to the denomination storage 5 as the second stage of the ticket movement (S6).

FIGS. 6A and 6B are views showing the storage state of the tickets in each store in the second stage of the ticket movement. FIG. 6A shows the state before the movement, and FIG. 6B shows the state after the movement.
As shown in FIG. 6A, the money type storage 4 before the ticket movement stores a million yen tickets, and the money type storage 5 is empty (0). Also, the denomination storage 6 stores c thousand 5,000-yen tickets and a thousand-yen ticket whose number has been temporarily determined, and the RJ storage 7 stores an undetermined number of tickets.

  When moving a 10,000 yen ticket to the denomination storage 5, a 10,000 yen voucher is fed out from the denomination storage 4 one by one and conveyed to the discrimination section 3 by the transport path 8. I do. As a result, the ticket identified as rejected due to unknown denomination or overfeeding is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored. After the denomination has been determined, the tickets are counted, then transported to the temporary storage unit 2 by the transport path 8 and accumulated. If the temporary storage unit 2 is full or the denomination storage 4 is empty, it is temporarily stored. A 10,000 yen voucher is paid out from the section 2 and transported to the discrimination section 3 through the transport path 8. After the discrimination section 3 performs discrimination and counting of the denomination and the like, it is transported to the denomination storage 5 and stored. In this case as well, the ticket identified as reject is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored.

  During the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket, the control unit determines (monitors) whether the denomination storage 5 or the RJ warehouse 7 is full (S7), and if it is full, stops the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket. (S8), if the operator process (S22) is not full, then it is determined whether or not the movement of the 10,000 yen voucher is completed (S9). Repeat the operation.

When all 10,000 yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 4 are paid out and moved to the denomination storage 5, the denomination storage 4 is empty (0 sheets) as shown in FIG. The money type storage 5 stores 10,000 yen tickets, but the number of 10,000 yen tickets at this stage is counted, so it is temporarily determined and the tickets stored in the RJ warehouse 7 The number of is unconfirmed.
When the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket is completed as described above, the 10,000 yen ticket moved to the denomination storage 5 is then moved to the original denomination storage 4 as the third stage of the ticket movement (S10).

FIG. 7 is a view showing the storage state of the ticket in each store in the third stage of the ticket movement. FIG. 7A shows the state before the movement, and FIG. 7B shows the state after the movement.
As shown in FIG. 7A, the money type storage 5 before the ticket movement stores a temporarily determined number of 10,000 yen tickets, and the money type storage 4 is empty. In addition, the denomination storage 6 stores c thousand 5,000-yen coupons, which are temporarily confirmed, and the RJ storage 7 stores an undetermined number of tickets.

  In moving the 10,000 yen ticket to the denomination storage 4, 10,000 yen coupons are paid one by one from the denomination storage 5 and transported to the discrimination section 3 by the transport path 8. I do. As a result, the ticket identified as rejected due to unknown denomination or overfeeding is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored. After the denomination is confirmed, the ticket is counted and then transported to the temporary storage unit 2 through the transport path 8 and accumulated. If the temporary storage unit 2 is full or the denomination storage 5 is empty, it is temporarily stored. A 10,000 yen ticket is paid out from the section 2 and transported to the discrimination section 3 through the transport path 8. After the discrimination section 3 performs discrimination and counting of the denomination and the like, it is transported to the denomination storage 4 and stored. In this case as well, the ticket identified as reject is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored.

  During the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket, the control unit determines (monitors) whether the denomination storage 4 or the RJ warehouse 7 is full (S11), and if it is full, stops the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket. (S12), operator processing (S22), but if it is not full, then it is determined whether the movement of the 10,000 yen voucher is completed (S13). Repeat the operation.

When all 10,000 yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 5 are paid out and moved to the denomination storage 4, the denomination storage 5 is empty (0 sheets) as shown in FIG. The money type storage 4 stores 10,000 yen tickets. At this stage, the number of 10,000 yen tickets is determined by the counting result of the discrimination unit 3, and the tickets stored in the RJ warehouse 7 Will be treated as unconfirmed.
When the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket is completed as described above, the thousand yen ticket and the 5,000 yen ticket stored in the denomination storage 6 are then moved to the denomination storage 5 as the fourth stage of ticket movement. (S14).

FIGS. 8A and 8B are views showing the storage state of the tickets in each store in the fourth stage of the ticket movement. FIG. 8A shows the state before the movement, and FIG. 8B shows the state after the movement.
As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the denomination storage 4 before moving the ticket stores 10,000 yen tickets whose number has been determined, and the denomination storage 5 is empty. In addition, the denomination storage 6 stores c thousand 5,000-yen coupons, which are temporarily confirmed, and the RJ storage 7 stores an unconfirmed number of reject tickets.

  When moving 1,000 yen and 5,000 yen vouchers to the denomination storage 5, one thousand yen or 5,000 yen vouchers are delivered one by one from the denomination storage 6 and transported to the discrimination section 3 by the transport path 8. The discrimination unit 3 discriminates denominations and the like. As a result, the ticket identified as rejected due to unknown denomination or overfeeding is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored. After the denomination has been determined, the tickets are counted, then transported to the temporary storage unit 2 by the transport path 8 and accumulated. If the temporary storage unit 2 is full or the denomination storage 4 is empty, it is temporarily stored. Thousand yen tickets or five thousand yen tickets are paid out from the part 2 and transported to the discrimination part 3 by the transport path 8. After the discrimination and counting of the denominations and the like are performed by the discrimination part 3, they are transported to the denomination storage 4. Store. Also in this case, the ticket discriminated as reject is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as reject banknote and stored.

  During the movement of the thousand yen ticket and five thousand yen ticket, the control unit judges (monitors) whether the denomination storage 4 or RJ warehouse 7 is full (S15). And the movement of the 5,000 yen ticket is stopped (S16), and the operator process (S22) is performed, but if it is not full, whether or not the movement of the thousand yen ticket and the 5,000 yen ticket is subsequently completed. Judgment is made (S17), and if not completed, the operation from S14 is repeated.

  When all the thousand yen coupons and five thousand yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 6 are paid out and moved to the denomination storage 5, the denomination storage 6 is as shown in FIG. Since it becomes empty (0 sheets), the thousand-yen and 5,000-yen coupons are stored in the denomination storage box 5, so the thousand-yen vouchers stored in the denomination storage box 5 confirm the counting result at this stage. It is assumed that the number of 5,000 yen tickets has been temporarily determined. In this case, since the number of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 4 has already been determined, the number of thousand yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 5 is determined, and the number of 5,000 yen tickets is Is temporarily determined. In this case as well, the number of reject tickets stored in the RJ warehouse 7 remains unconfirmed.

  When the movement of the 1,000 yen ticket and the 5,000 yen ticket is completed as described above, a message that prompts the user to remove the reject ticket is displayed on the display unit (not shown), and the operator removes the reject ticket from the RJ warehouse 7 accordingly. Performed (S18).

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the storage state of the ticket in each warehouse before and after the rejection ticket is taken out. FIG. 9 (a) shows the state after the rejection ticket is taken out, and FIG. 9 (b) shows the state after the rejection ticket is taken out. When the reject ticket is collected (removed) from the RJ warehouse 7 as shown in (a), the RJ warehouse 7 becomes empty as shown in FIG.
When it is detected by a sensor (not shown) that the RJ warehouse 7 is empty, the 5,000 yen ticket stored in the denomination storage 5 is then transferred to the denomination storage 6 as the fifth stage of ticket movement. Move (S19).

FIGS. 10A and 10B are views showing the storage state of the tickets in each cabinet in the fifth stage of the ticket movement. FIG. 10A shows the state before the movement, and FIG. 10B shows the state after the movement.
The storage state before the ticket movement shown in FIG. 10 (a) is the same as the state of FIG. 9 (b). The cabinet 5 stores a 5,000-yen voucher whose number is temporarily determined and a thousand-yen voucher whose number is fixed, and the denomination storage 6 and the RJ warehouse 7 are empty.

  When moving the 5,000-yen ticket to the denomination storage 6, the 5,000-yen coupon is paid out from the denomination storage 5 one by one and conveyed to the discrimination unit 3 by the conveyance path 8, and the denomination etc. The discrimination is performed. As a result, the ticket identified as rejected due to unknown denomination or overfeeding is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored. When the denomination is confirmed, the ticket is counted, then transported to the temporary storage unit 2 by the transport path 8 and accumulated, and when the temporary storage unit 2 is full or all 5,000 yen tickets in the denomination storage 5 are delivered Pays out a 5,000-yen ticket from the temporary holding unit 2 and transports it to the discrimination unit 3 through the transport path 8, performs discrimination and counting of the denomination etc. in the discrimination unit 3, and then transports it to the denomination storage 6 Store. In this case as well, the ticket identified as reject is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a reject ticket and stored.

  Regarding the movement of this 5,000 yen ticket, since the number of 5,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 5 is known, it is possible to pay out as many as that number. After paying out until the discrimination unit 3 discriminates, the thousand yen coupons are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 2, and then when the five thousand yen coupons are transported from the temporary holding unit 2 to the denomination storage 6 by the discrimination unit 3. The identified thousand yen ticket may be returned to the denomination storage 5.

  During the movement of the 5,000 yen ticket, the control unit judges (monitors) whether the denomination storage 6 or the RJ warehouse 7 is full (S20). (S21) is the operator process (S22), but if it is not full, then it is determined whether or not the movement of the 5,000 yen ticket has been completed (S23), and is not completed Repeats the operation from S19.

  When all 5,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 5 are paid out and moved to the denomination storage 6, the denomination storage 5 has a thousand yen as shown in FIG. Only the ticket remains. In this state, the number of 10,000, 1,000, and 5,000 yen coupons stored in the denominations 4, 5, and 6 is confirmed, and only the number of tickets in the RJ warehouse 7 is unconfirmed. Become.

  When the movement of the 5,000 yen ticket is completed as described above, a message that prompts the user to insert the reject ticket taken out from the RJ warehouse 7 is displayed on a display unit (not shown), and the reject ticket is transferred to the deposit / withdrawal port 1 by the operator accordingly. When it is inserted (S24), the rejection of the rejected ticket is performed.

FIGS. 11A and 11B are views showing the storage state of the ticket in each warehouse with the coefficient of the reject ticket. FIG. 11A shows a state before re-discrimination, and FIG. 11B shows a state after re-discrimination.
The storage state of the tickets in the re-identification denomination storages 4-6 shown in FIG. 11A is the same as the state of FIG. 10B, and the denomination storage units 4-6 each have a number of sheets. The confirmed 10,000 yen ticket, thousand yen ticket, and 5,000 yen ticket are stored, and only the number of tickets in the RJ warehouse 7 is unconfirmed.

  In re-discrimination of rejected tickets, the inserted reject tickets are fed out one by one and sent to the discriminating unit 3 through the conveyance path 8 to discriminate the denomination. As a result, the denomination of the denomination or the ticket that has been identified as rejected again due to repeated feeding, etc. is transported and stored in the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a re-identification reject banknote. After being counted every time, it is transported to the temporary storage unit 2 by the transport path 8 and accumulated.

  When all the rejected tickets inserted are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 2 via the discrimination unit 3 or stored in the RJ cabinet 7, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary holding unit 2 are fed out one by one and After the denomination of the denomination is performed, the denomination is distributed to the denomination storages 4 to 6 according to the denomination, and is transported and stored (S25). In this case as well, the ticket discriminated from the 2,000 yen ticket is transported and stored in the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8, and the ticket identified as reject is transported to the RJ warehouse 7 by the transport path 8 as a re-discrimination reject ticket. And store.

  When the reject ticket whose denomination has been determined in this way is stored in the denomination storages 4 to 6, the number of the denominations stored is the denomination storage units 4 to 6 before the rejection ticket is stored. Each of the tickets is added to the determined number of tickets, and the addition result is determined as the final counted number.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, the number of tickets in the denomination storages 4 to 6 after the final count number is determined is L for 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 4, as shown in FIG. Suppose that the 1,000 yen ticket stored in 5 is M, the 5,000 yen ticket stored in the denomination storage 6 is N, and the unconfirmed reject ticket stored in the RJ storage 7 is S.

  FIG. 12 is a table (table) showing the number of denomination tickets before scrutiny and after final counting. In this figure, out of the number S of rejected tickets in the RJ warehouse 7, each of the 10,000 yen O, 1,000 yen P, and 5,000 yen Q is an estimated number. The method for determining O, 1,000 yen P, 5,000 yen Q will be described by taking a 10,000 yen ticket as an example.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the movement of the 10,000 yen ticket. FIG. 13A shows the state before the movement stored in the denomination storage 4, and FIG. 13B shows the denomination storage 4 to the denomination storage 5. FIG. 5C shows a state in which the money type storage 5 returns to the money type storage 4.
In FIG. 13 (a), the number of 10,000 yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 4 is a (estimated number), and the number of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the RJ warehouse 7 is d (estimated number). The total number of a sheets and d sheets is the number of 10,000 yen coupons in the apparatus that has been determined before scrutiny.

  Therefore, when a multi-feed is generated when a 10,000 yen ticket is fed out from the denomination storage 4 one by one, and is discriminated and counted by the discrimination unit 3 and stored in the empty denomination storage 5, the denomination storage 5 Since the number of stored 10,000 yen coupons is the counted number, it is possible to recognize how many are, but the number of overlap feeds is unknown. Therefore, when this multi-feed 10,000 yen ticket is stored in the RJ warehouse 7 as a reject ticket, the number of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 5 is temporarily determined as shown in FIG. However, the number of 10,000 yen coupons in the RJ warehouse 7 is unknown.

  Next, in the case where an overlap feed occurs when 10,000 yen coupons are fed out one by one from the denomination storage 5 and discriminated and counted by the discrimination unit 3 and stored in the empty denomination storage 4, the denomination storage 5 Since the number of 10,000 yen coupons stored in this is the counted number, it is possible to determine how many in this case as well, and therefore the number of 10,000 yen coupons stored in the denomination storage 5 Is L (the final counted number) as shown in FIG. However, since the number of overlapped feeds is unknown, when this overlapped 10,000 yen ticket is stored in the RJ warehouse 7 as a reject ticket, the number of 10,000 yen tickets in the RJ warehouse 7 is unknown.

In the present embodiment, a number of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 4 before counting (before scrutiny) shown in FIG. 13A and gold after the final counting shown in FIG. 13C. The number of 10,000 yen coupons in the RJ warehouse 7 is determined as follows using the number L (confirmed number) of 10,000 yen coupons stored in the type storage 4.
That is, the number a of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 4 before counting shown in FIG. 13A and the denomination storage 4 after the final counting shown in FIG. 13C. If the number of 10,000 yen coupons is the same number (a = L), when moving the 10,000 yen ticket from the denomination storage 4 to the denomination storage 5, and the 10,000 yen voucher from the denomination storage 5 When returning to the denomination storage 4, the reject due to the overlap feeding has not occurred, so the number of 10,000 yen coupons in the RJ storage 7 is determined as d.

  On the other hand, when a> L, when moving the 10,000 yen ticket from the denomination storage 4 to the denomination storage 5 or when returning the 10,000 yen ticket from the denomination storage 5 to the denomination storage 4 In this case, the number a of the 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 4 before the counting shown in FIG. 13 (a) ( Estimated number) and the number of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the RJ warehouse 7 (the estimated number) are subtracted (a + d−L) from the L number shown in FIG. The number thus obtained is determined as the number of 10,000 yen tickets in the RJ warehouse 7. Similarly, the number of P-yen and Q-thousand yens in the RJ warehouse 7 is determined.

  Thus, when the number of denomination tickets in the denomination storages 4 to 6 and the number of denomination tickets in the RJ warehouse 7 are determined as the final counting number, the control unit checks each gold before the scrutiny in the apparatus. The number of types of tickets and the number of tickets of each denomination after the final counting number is determined are compared for each denomination, and a match or a mismatch is determined. Here, it is assumed that a match or a mismatch is determined as follows in the order of a 10,000 yen ticket, a thousand yen ticket, and a five thousand yen ticket.

  First, for 10,000 yen coupons, RJ is added to the final number of 10,000 yen tickets (a + d) in the device before scrutiny and the number of 10,000 yen tickets in the denomination storage 4 after the final count is finalized. A comparison is made by comparing the number (L + O) obtained by adding the number of 10,000 yen coupons in the storage 7 (L + O) (S27). If not equal, that is, if they do not match, the scrutiny does not match (S31).

  If they are equal, that is, they match, then for the thousand yen ticket, the final number (b + e) of the thousand yen ticket in the device before scrutiny and the thousand yen ticket in the denomination storage box 5 after the final count number is determined The number of sheets (M + P) obtained by adding the number of sheets of 1,000 yen in the RJ warehouse 7 to the number of sheets M (M + P) is determined to determine whether they are equal, that is, whether they are equal or not (S28). In the case of (2), it is recognized that the examination is inconsistent (S31).

  In the case of equality, that is, coincidence, for the 5,000-yen coupon, the final number (c + f) of the 5,000-yen coupon in the device before the scrutiny and the five in the denomination storage 6 after the final counted number is finalized. The number (N + Q) obtained by adding the number of thousand yen tickets to the number of thousand yen tickets in the RJ warehouse 7 plus the number of sheets Q (N + Q) is determined to determine whether or not they are equal, that is, match or mismatch (S29). If they are not equal, that is, they do not match, it is recognized that the inspection does not match (S31).

In the case of equality or coincidence, next, for the 2000 yen, the final number of 2000 yen in the device before scrutiny and the number R of 2000 yen in the RJ warehouse 7 after the final count is finalized. The sheets are compared to determine whether or not they are equal, that is, whether they match or not (S30). If they are not equal, that is, they do not match, it is recognized as a scrutiny mismatch (S31). In this case, the number of denominated tickets by automatic scrutiny is determined as a scrutinization result, and it is recognized that the scrutiny has been completed normally.
Thereafter, the content of the scrutiny or scrutiny does not appear as a scrutinization result on a display unit (not shown), and the scrutiny result is printed on a sheet such as a receipt by a printing device (not shown) and discharged to the operator (S33).

  In the series of processes described above, the operator takes out the reject ticket in the RJ warehouse 7 and inserts it into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 for re-discrimination (S18, S24 to S26), but these processes are omitted. In this case, since the operator does not touch the reject ticket, it is desirable to omit S18 and S24 to S26 in actual operation. In this case, for the calculation of each denomination ticket in the RJ warehouse 7, the determined number of each denomination ticket after moving the 5,000 yen ticket into the denomination storage 6 is used.

  As described above, in Example 1, the money type storage 5 is emptied by counting and moving all the 1000 yen tickets into the money type storage 6 in which the 5000 yen tickets are stored during automatic scrutiny, After moving all the 10,000 yen tickets in the money type storage 4 to the empty money type storage 5 while counting them, move them all into the original money type storage 4 while counting the 10,000 yen tickets. In addition, while counting 1000 yen and 5,000 yen coupons in the denomination storage 6 and moving them all to the empty denomination storage 5, the 5,000 yen coupons in the denomination storage 5 are counted. However, by moving all of them into the original denomination storage 6, the number of 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 1,000 yen tickets in each denomination storage 4 to 6 is determined, and each determined denomination The number of tickets of each denomination stored in the RJ warehouse 7 is determined from the number of tickets of each type and the number of tickets of each denomination determined before automatic scrutiny. Therefore, there is no need to manually count the banknotes stored in the reject box and input the counting result, and the effect of being able to fully automate the scrutiny is obtained, and the staff is also burdened. In addition, since the operator does not touch the reject ticket, the effect of maintaining high security can be obtained.

  In the first embodiment described above, the five thousand yen coupon on the thousand yen coupon whose number is fixed in the denomination storage 5 as shown in FIG. 10 (a) is denominated as shown in FIG. 10 (b). When moving to the storage 6, if a ticket at the boundary between a thousand yen ticket and a five thousand yen ticket is identified as rejected, the reject ticket may be a thousand yen ticket. The number of thousand yen tickets is unknown, but in this case, the number of rejected thousand yen tickets may be determined by estimating the number of rejects from the determined number of thousand yen tickets before moving the 5,000 yen ticket. However, such a case is extremely rare and rarely occurs, so it is an exceptional measure.

  As mentioned above, although the Example was described, this invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above-described first embodiment, the denomination storage 5 is emptied by moving the thousand yen ticket to the denomination storage 6 in which the five thousand yen voucher is stored for automatic scrutiny, and the empty denomination storage. It is assumed that the 10,000 yen ticket is moved to the warehouse 5, but depending on the number of 10,000 yen tickets stored in the denomination storage 4, the money type in which the 5,000 yen tickets are first stored It is possible to empty the denomination-type storage 4 by moving it to the storage 6 and to move the thousand yen ticket to the empty denomination-type storage 4 so that automatic scrutiny can be executed in the same manner. If the number of storages in the type storage 6 is the same as the number of storages in the money type storages 4 and 5, that is, the RJ box 7 is provided separately from the money type storage 6 and the number of storages in the money type storage 6 is set to the money storage. If you store the same number of sheets as 4, 5, you can freely choose which type of storage to empty first It is possible to set.

In the first embodiment described above, the cash processing apparatus operated by the operator has been described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to all apparatuses such as ATMs that are operated by the customer and deposit / withdraw.
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the description has been given by taking as an example an apparatus having only one temporary storage unit 2, but an apparatus having a structure in which the temporary position storage unit 2 is provided on each of the denomination storages 4-6. In this case, since the tickets temporarily held in the temporary position holding units 2 can be dropped and stored directly into the denomination storages 4 to 6, the number of counting can be reduced. It is.
