Description

  The present invention relates to a small bundle management device and a small bundle management method.

  When handling banknotes, for example, they may be handled as banknotes (hereinafter also referred to as “rose banknotes”), or bundles generated by sealing a plurality of banknotes. In some cases (hereinafter also referred to as “small bundle banknotes”). Here, when handling a banknote as a small bundle banknote, the point different from the case where a rose banknote is handled is also assumed. There are various methods for handling small bundles of bills.

  For example, the sensor is moved up and down from the upper end to the lower end of the cassette along the paper band of the small bundle banknotes stored in the cassette, the bundle break is specified by the amount of light detected by the sensor, and the number of small bundle banknotes is determined. A method of counting is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). According to such a method, it is possible to accurately identify the breaks in the bundle, and thus it is possible to accurately count the number of bundles of small bundle banknotes.

  As another method, for example, a method is disclosed in which an empty cassette is prepared in advance as a collection cassette, and the denomination of the upper surface banknote of a small bundle of banknotes taken out from the scrutinized cassette is determined and then moved to the collection cassette. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2). According to this method, since it is possible to count the number of bundles while determining the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote, if the denomination is not normal, the banknote can be removed from the small bundle banknote and replaced. Can be determined to have been performed.

[Description of First Embodiment]
First, a configuration example of the information processing system 1A according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an information processing system 1A according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 </ b> A includes a small bundle management device 10 </ b> A and a control system 20. The control system 20 includes a control terminal 21 and a small bundle management database 22.

  The control terminal 21 controls the small bundle management device 10A based on the operation of the operator. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, when the control terminal 21 notifies the small bundle management device 10A of a transaction instruction according to an operation from the operator, the small bundle management device 10A performs a transaction based on the transaction instruction. The control terminal 21 is notified of the transaction result as the transaction result. As a transaction performed in the small bundle management apparatus 10A, a deposit process, a withdrawal process, a loading process, a collection process, a scrutiny process, and the like are assumed.

  In the small bundle management database 22, a cassette identifier for identifying a cassette stored in the small bundle management device 10 </ b> A, a denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote stored in the cassette, and the top banknote Data associated with the serial number is recorded. Here, an upper surface banknote is corresponded to the uppermost rose banknote among the predetermined number of loose banknotes which comprise a small bundle banknote. The small bundle banknote here is bundled so that the surface of the banknote on which the serial number is written becomes the upper surface of the small bundle banknote. When transported and stored such that the back side of the banknotes is on the top surface of the small bundle banknotes, the surface of the banknotes with serial numbers written on the bottom surface of the small bundle banknotes comes. Below, although the case where the surface of the banknote in which the serial number is described is bundled so that it may become the upper surface of a small bundle banknote, the surface of the banknote in which the serial number is described on the lower surface of a small bundle banknote is Even in the case of coming, it is clear that the present application can be applied by replacing the upper surface with the lower surface.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the data recorded in the small bundle management database 22 can be acquired by the control terminal 21 as necessary during a transaction in the small bundle management apparatus 10A. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the data recorded in the small bundle management database 22 can be updated by the control terminal 21 as necessary when a transaction is made in the small bundle management apparatus 10A.

  In the following description, the case where the cassette identifier, denomination and serial number are used will be mainly described. However, the cassette identifier and denomination may be used as necessary. For example, when there is only one cassette stored in the small bundle management device 10A, the cassette identifier does not need to be used because it is not necessary to identify the cassette. Further, for example, when the denomination management apparatus 10A handles one denomination, the denomination does not need to be particularly used.

  Moreover, in the following description, the case where the money type of the small banknote which can be accommodated for every cassette 160 is mainly demonstrated. In such a case, the denomination of the small bundle banknote that can be stored for each cassette 160 is stored by the control terminal 21, and if the denomination of the small bundle banknote is specified, the small bundle banknote of that denomination can be stored. It is possible to specify a small cassette 160 and store a small bundle of banknotes in the cassette 160 or take out a small bundle of banknotes from the cassette 160. However, the denomination of the small bundle banknote that can be stored for each cassette 160 may not be determined.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the control terminal 21 and the small bundle management device 10A are configured separately, but all or part of the functions of the control terminal 21 are provided by the small bundle management device 10A. You may do it. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the small bundle management database 22 and the control terminal 21 are configured separately, but the small bundle management database 22 may be incorporated in the control terminal 21.

  The configuration example of the information processing system 1A according to the first embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, a configuration example of the small bundle management device 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the small bundle management device 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the small bundle management device 10A includes a deposit port 110, a bill recognition unit 120, a deposit reject unit 121, a reversing unit 122, a stacking unit 123, a first small bundle transport unit 131, A second small bundle transport unit 132 and a third small bundle transport unit 133 are provided. As shown in FIG. 2, the small bundle management device 10 </ b> A includes a sealing unit 140, a small bundle recognition unit 150, a cassette 160, a reject box 170, a withdrawal port 180, and a control unit 190. ing.

  The control of the operation by the small bundle management device 10A is performed by the control unit 190. First, the operation of the small bundle management device 10A at the time of deposit will be described. When the operator deposits loose banknotes into the small bundle management device 10A via the deposit port 110, the banknote recognition unit 120 recognizes the loose banknotes. In the recognition of the rose banknote by the banknote recognition unit 120, for example, the denomination of the rose banknote is determined, and the serial number of the rose banknote is read. When the banknote recognition unit 120 does not normally recognize the rose banknote, the rose banknote is conveyed to the deposit rejection unit 121. On the other hand, when the banknote recognition unit 120 recognizes the rose banknotes normally, the loose banknotes are conveyed to the reversing unit 122.

  When the loose banknotes are conveyed to the reversing unit 122, the reversing unit 122 adjusts the orientation of the loose banknotes to a predetermined direction. Thereby, when a several rose banknote is integrated | stacked on the stacking part 123, the direction of front and back is arrange | equalized among several rose banknotes. When the direction of the loose banknotes is adjusted to a predetermined direction by the reversing unit 122, the loose banknotes are conveyed to the stacking unit 123. In the stacking unit 123, rose banknotes are stacked, but based on the denominations determined by the banknote recognition unit 120, rose banknotes are stacked for each denomination.

  When a predetermined number of loose banknotes are stacked in the stacking unit 123, the predetermined number of stacked banknotes are transported to the sealing unit 140 by the first small bundle transport unit 131. In the sealing unit 140, sealing is performed on a predetermined number of stacked banknotes. When sealing is performed on a predetermined number of stacked banknotes, a predetermined number of stacked banknotes are bundled by a paper band to generate a small bundle of banknotes.

  The small bundle banknotes sealed by the sealing unit 140 are transported to the cassette 160 by the third small bundle transport unit 133 and stored by the small bundle recognition unit 150. When the small bundle banknote is stored in the cassette 160, for example, the small bundle banknote is stored in the cassette 160 that can store the small bundle banknote of the same denomination as the denomination of the small bundle banknote sealed by the sealing unit 140. . In the example shown in FIG. 2, three cassettes 160 are stored in the small bundle management apparatus 10A, but the number of cassettes 160 stored in the small bundle management apparatus 10A is not particularly limited.

  Next, the operation of the small bundle management device 10A at the time of withdrawal will be described. When the small bundle banknote of the denomination designated by the operator is taken out from the cassette 160 by the small bundle recognition unit 150, the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote is determined by the small bundle recognition unit 150, and the serial number of the rose banknote is determined. Read. When the recognition result of the upper surface banknote of the small bundle banknote is not normal by the small bundle recognition unit 150, the small bundle banknote is conveyed to a predetermined storage by the third small bundle conveyance unit 133. Although the predetermined storage is not particularly limited, for example, the reject storage 170 may be used. Below, it demonstrates using the rejection store | warehouse | chamber 170 as an example of a predetermined storage. On the other hand, when the recognition result of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote is normal by the small bundle recognition unit 150, the small bundle banknote is conveyed to the withdrawal port 180 by the second small bundle conveyance unit 132.

  The configuration example of the small bundle management device 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, a functional configuration example of the control unit 190 of the small bundle management device 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the control unit 190 of the small bundle management device 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 190 includes a notification unit 191, an acquisition unit 192, a transport control unit 193, and a scrutinizing unit 194. Here, the functions of the notification unit 191, the acquisition unit 192, and the conveyance control unit 193 will be mainly described, and the function of the scrutinizing unit 194 will be described later.

  The notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the serial number of the upper surface banknote of the small bundle banknote read before storing the small bundle banknote. In addition, the notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote determined before storing the small bundle banknote. Furthermore, the notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of a cassette identifier for identifying the cassette 160 that is the storage destination of the small bundle bills. The control terminal 21 records the serial number, denomination and cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191 in the small bundle management database 22.

  Here, as the denomination and serial number notified to the control terminal 21, the denomination and serial number acquired by the recognition with respect to the rose banknote by the banknote recognition part 120 at the time of payment may be used. The money type and serial number acquired by the recognition with respect to the upper surface banknote of the small bundle banknote by the small bundle recognition part 150 may be used.

  In addition, the notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the serial number of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote read after the small bundle banknote is taken out. In addition, the notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote determined after taking out the small bundle banknote. Furthermore, the notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of a cassette identifier for identifying the cassette 160 in which the small bundle banknotes are stored.

  The control terminal 21 determines whether or not the serial number notified from the notification unit 191 matches the serial number recorded in the small bundle management database 22. With this determination, when the small bundle banknotes are stored in the cassette 160 and taken out, the control terminal 21 determines whether the serial numbers of the top banknotes of the small bundle banknotes read before and after the small bundle banknotes are matched. It can be determined whether or not. After making such a determination, the control terminal 21 updates the small bundle management database 22.

  The control terminal 21 notifies the control unit 190 of the determination result obtained by the determination. The control terminal 21 may further determine whether or not the denomination and cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191 match the denomination and cassette identifier recorded in the small bundle management database 22. In such a case, the control terminal 21 may notify the control unit 190 of the determination result for the serial number, denomination, and cassette identifier.

  The acquisition unit 192 acquires the determination result notified from the control terminal 21. For example, when the serial number of the banknote corresponding to the top banknote is read by the banknote recognition unit 120 before sealing by the sealing unit 140, the acquisition unit 192 takes out the serial number of the banknote and the small bundle after taking out the small bundle of banknotes. You may acquire the determination result which shows whether the serial number of the upper surface banknote read by the recognition part 150 corresponds.

  Alternatively, when the serial number of the top banknote is read by the small bundle recognizing unit 150 after sealing by the sealing unit 140, the acquisition unit 192 takes the serial number of the top banknote and the small bundle banknote after taking out the small bundle banknote. You may acquire the determination result which shows whether the serial number of the upper surface banknote read by this corresponds. The acquisition unit 192 may acquire the determination result for the serial number, denomination, and cassette identifier.

  The conveyance control unit 193 controls conveyance of loose banknotes and small bundles of banknotes. For example, when the determination result acquired by the acquisition unit 192 indicates a mismatch of the serial numbers of the top banknotes of the small bundle banknotes, the conveyance control unit 193 causes the reject banknotes to be conveyed to the reject box 170. In addition, when the determination result acquired by the acquisition unit 192 indicates that the serial numbers of the top banknotes of the small bundle banknote coincide with each other, the conveyance control unit 193 performs the second operation so as to convey the small bundle banknote to the dispensing port 180. The small bundle transport unit 132 is controlled.

  The conveyance control unit 193 may control the conveyance of the small bundle banknotes in consideration of the determination result regarding the serial number, the denomination, and the cassette identifier. That is, the conveyance control unit 193 may convey the small bundle banknotes to a predetermined storage when the determination result further indicates a mismatch between the denomination and the cassette identifier. Moreover, the conveyance control part 193 may control the 2nd small bundle conveyance part 132 so that a small bundle banknote may be conveyed to the payment port 180, when a determination result shows further that a money type and a cassette identifier correspond. .

  As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when taking out the small bundle banknotes stored in the cassette 160, the serial numbers of the top banknotes of the small bundle banknotes read before and after the storage. A comparison is made. Further, when the comparison result is not normal, the small bundle banknotes are conveyed to a predetermined storage. Therefore, it becomes possible to detect more accurately that the banknotes have been easily removed from the small bundle banknotes.

  Heretofore, the functional configuration example of the control unit 190 of the small bundle management device 10A according to the first embodiment of the present invention has been described. Next, an example of updating the small bundle management database 22 when the serial numbers match will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the small bundle management database 22 before update when the serial numbers match. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the updated small bundle management database 22 when the serial numbers match. In the following description, it is assumed that cassettes A to C are used as an example of the cassette 160. Further, it is assumed that the cassette identifiers of the cassettes A to C are “A” to “C”, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the small bundle management database 22, the cassette identifier, the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote, and the serial number of the top banknote are associated with each other. In the small bundle management database 22, “No.” indicates the stacking order of small bundle banknotes in the cassette identifier. For example, when a small bundle of banknotes is taken out from each cassette, it is taken out from the small bundle banknotes according to the stacking order indicated by “No.”.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknotes taken out from the cassette A is “ten thousand” and the serial number of the top banknote is “xxx1”. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, in the small bundle management database 22, it is assumed that the denomination of the cassette A stacking order “No. 1” is “ten thousand” and the serial number is “xxx1”.

  In such a case, since the determination result indicates that the cassette identifier, denomination and serial number match, the small bundle banknotes taken out from the cassette A are transported to the withdrawal port 180, and as shown in FIG. Data (cassette identifier: “A”, denomination: “ten thousand”, serial number: “xxx1”) is deleted from the management database 22 by the control terminal 21. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, “No. 2” to “No. 6” of the cassette A are moved up by the control terminal 21.

  The example of updating the small bundle management database 22 when the serial numbers match has been described above. Next, an example of updating the small bundle management database 22 when the serial numbers do not match will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the small bundle management database 22 before update when the serial numbers do not match. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the updated small bundle management database 22 when the serial numbers do not match.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, it is assumed that the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote taken out from the cassette A is “ten thousand” and the serial number of the top banknote is “xx18”. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, in the small bundle management database 22, it is assumed that the denomination of the stacking order “No. 1” of the cassette A is “ten thousand” and the serial number is “xxx1”.

  In such a case, since the determination result indicates that the serial numbers do not match, the small bundle banknotes taken out from the cassette A are conveyed to the reject box 170 and, as shown in FIG. The control terminal 21 outputs that a different small banknote has been detected. Data (cassette identifier: “A”, denomination: “ten thousand”, serial number: “xxx1”) is deleted from the small bundle management database 22 by the control terminal 21, and “No. 2” to “No. “6” may be carried by the control terminal 21.

  The example of updating the small bundle management database 22 when the serial numbers do not match has been described above. Next, the flow of operations for deposit processing to the small bundle management apparatus 10A will be described.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of deposit processing to the small bundle management apparatus 10A. As shown in FIG. 8, first, when an operator sets a loose banknote in the deposit port 110 of the small bundle management device 10A (step S11), the banknote recognition unit 120 reads the serial number of the loose banknote (step S12). The denomination of the banknote is determined (step S13). Thereafter, when the reversing unit 122 aligns the directions of the loose banknotes, the loose banknotes are conveyed to the stacking unit 123 (step S14).

  If the unit number of banknotes is not stacked on the stacking unit 123 (“No” in step S15), the process returns to step S12, but if the unit number of banknotes is stacked on the stacking unit 123 ( In step S15, “Yes”), the first small bundle transport unit 131 transports the unit number of banknote banknotes to the sealing unit 140 (step S16). The sealing unit 140 creates a bundle of banknotes by performing a bundling process (step S17), and the third bundle bundle transport unit 133 transports the bundle of banknotes to the cassette 160 (step S18).

  When the small bundle recognizing unit 150 stores the small bundle banknotes in the cassette 160 (step S19), the notifying unit 191 recognizes the cassette identifier for identifying the cassette in which the small bundle banknotes are stored and the gold of the top banknote of the small bundle banknotes. The control terminal 21 is notified of the seed and the serial number of the top banknote (step S20). As described above, as the denomination and serial number notified to the control terminal 21, the denomination and serial number acquired by recognition of the banknotes by the banknote recognition unit 120 may be used, or the small bundle recognition unit. The denomination and serial number acquired by the recognition with respect to the upper surface banknote of the small bundle banknote by 150 may be used.

  The cassette identifier, denomination and serial number notified to the control terminal 21 are recorded in the small bundle management database 22. If there is a rose bill that is not stored in the cassette 160 among the rose bills set in the deposit port 110 (“No” in step S21), the process returns to step S12, but the rose bill set in the deposit port 110 is If all are stored in the cassette 160 (“Yes” in step S21), the deposit process is terminated.

  In the foregoing, the operation flow of the deposit processing to the small bundle management device 10A has been described. Next, an operation flow of the withdrawal process from the small bundle management apparatus 10A will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of an operation of a withdrawal process from the small bundle management device 10A. As shown in FIG. 9, first, the small bundle recognizing unit 150 takes out one bundle of small bundle banknotes of the denomination designated by the operator from the cassette 160 (step S31). Subsequently, the small bundle recognizing unit 150 reads the serial number of the upper surface banknote of the small bundle banknote (step S32), and determines the denomination of the upper surface banknote (step S33).

  Subsequently, the notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the cassette identifier for identifying the cassette in which the small bundle banknote is stored, the denomination of the upper surface banknote of the small bundle banknote, and the serial number of the upper surface banknote. (Step S34). As described above, as the denomination and serial number notified to the control terminal 21, the denomination and serial number acquired by the recognition of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote by the small bundle recognition unit 150 may be used.

  Whether the control terminal 21 matches the denomination recorded in the small bundle management database 22 with the denomination notified from the notification unit 191 for the same cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191 It is determined whether or not (step S35). When the determination result indicating that the denominations do not match is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“No” in step S35), the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports the small bundle banknotes to the reject box 170. (Step S38), the process proceeds to Step S40.

  Further, the control terminal 21 matches the serial number recorded in the small bundle management database 22 with the serial number notified from the notification unit 191 for the same cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191. It is determined whether or not there is (step S37). When the determination result indicating that the serial numbers do not match is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“No” in step S37), the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports the small bundle banknotes to the reject box 170. (Step S38), the process proceeds to Step S40.

  When the small bundle banknote is conveyed to the reject box 170, the control terminal 21 outputs that a small bundle banknote different from the small bundle banknote to be withdrawn has been detected. After viewing the contents output by the control terminal 21, the operator determines that there is a possibility that the banknotes have been removed or replaced from the small bundle banknotes, and the small bundle banknotes stored in the cassette 160 are abnormal. Check if there is any.

  On the other hand, when a determination result indicating that the denomination and the serial number match each other is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“Yes” in step S35, “Yes” in step S37), the second small bundle transport The small banknotes are conveyed to the section 132 (step S39), and the process proceeds to step S40. Subsequently, if the number of bundles of small banknotes conveyed to the second small bundle conveyance unit 132 has not reached the number of bundles designated by the operator (“No” in step S40), the process returns to step S31.

  On the other hand, when the number of bundles of the small bundle bills conveyed to the second small bundle conveyance unit 132 reaches the number of bundles designated by the operator (“Yes” in step S40), the bundle is conveyed to the second small bundle conveyance unit 132. The small bundle banknote group is conveyed to the dispensing port 180 by the second small bundle conveyance unit 132 (step S41), and the dispensing process is completed. Note that the number of bundles of small bundle banknotes compared with the designated number of bundles may include the number of bundles of small bundle banknotes conveyed to the reject box 170.

  The operation flow of the withdrawal process from the small bundle management apparatus 10A has been described above. Then, the flow of operation | movement of the loading process of the small bundle banknote to 10A of small bundle management apparatuses is demonstrated.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a flow of operations for loading a small bundle of bills into the small bundle management device 10A. As shown in FIG. 10, first, based on an operation on the control terminal 21 by the first operator, the control terminal 21 identifies a cassette identifier for identifying a cassette 160 to which a small bundle of bills is loaded and the small bundle of bills. The denomination of the top bank note and the serial number of the top bank note are registered in the small bundle management database 22 (step S51). Subsequently, when the first operator loads a small bundle of bills into the cassette 160 (step S52), the second operator confirms the loading status of the small bundle of bills and the small bundle management database 22 (step S53), and the confirmation result is abnormal. If there is not, loading of a small bundle banknote is approved (step S54), and the loading process is terminated.

  The flow of operations for loading a small bundle of bills into the small bundle management device 10A has been described above. Then, the flow of operation | movement of the collection | recovery process of the small bundle banknote from 10A of small bundle management apparatuses is demonstrated.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow of operations of a collection process of small bundle banknotes from the small bundle management device 10A. As shown in FIG. 11, first, based on an operation on the control terminal 21 by the first operator, the control terminal 21 identifies a cassette identifier for identifying the cassette 160 from which the small bundle banknote is collected and the small bundle banknote. The denomination of the top bank note and the serial number of the top bank note are deleted from the small bundle management database 22 (step S61). Subsequently, when the first operator collects the small bundle banknotes from the cassette 160 (step S62), the second operator confirms the collection status of the small bundle banknotes and the small bundle management database 22 (step S63), and the confirmation result is abnormal. If there is not, collection | recovery of a small banknote is approved (step S64), and collection processing is complete | finished.

  Heretofore, the flow of the operation of collecting the small bundle banknote from the small bundle management device 10A has been described. Then, the example of the close examination of the small bundle banknote by the close examination part 194 is demonstrated. As described above, there are various techniques for counting the number of bundles of small banknotes. For example, there is a technique of counting the number of bundles in the process of preparing an empty cassette as a collection cassette in advance and moving a small bundle of banknotes taken out from a scrutinized cassette to the collection cassette.

  However, if an empty cassette is prepared in advance, the empty cassette cannot be used effectively when the number of small bundles of bills is not counted. Therefore, in the following, a technique for counting the number of bundles of small bundle bills while effectively using the cassette stored in the small bundle management device 10A even when the number of bundles of small bundle bills is not counted will be mainly described. Explained.

  In the present embodiment, the scrutinizing unit 194 has a function of counting the number of small banknotes stored in the cassette 160. Here, when the scrutinization use cassette used for scrutiny is specified, the scrutinization unit 194 counts the number of bundles of the small bundle banknotes when the small bundle banknotes are conveyed between the scrutinization use cassette and the scrutiny target cassette. For example, when a denomination to be scrutinized is specified by an operation on the control terminal 21 by an operator, the cassette 160 capable of storing a small bundle of denominations is used as the scrutiny target cassette. Specified by.

  In addition, since the small banknotes are taken out from the cassette 160 even during the scrutiny, the control terminal 21 determines whether or not the serial numbers read out before and after being stored in the scrutinized cassette match. Good. In other words, the transport control unit 193 determines that the serial number of the top banknote of the small bundle banknotes read before being stored in the scrutiny target cassette and during the transport between the scrutiny target cassette and the scrutinization use cassette does not match. A bundle of banknotes may be conveyed to the reject store 170.

  In addition, the transport control unit 193 determines whether the top banknote serial number read before the storage in the scrutiny target cassette and during the transport between the scrutiny target cassette and the scrutinization cassette is the same. A bundle of bills may be transported to a scrutinized cassette. Also at the time of scrutiny, it may be determined whether the denomination matches other than the serial number, or whether the cassette identifier matches, as in the case of the withdrawal described above. Further, these determinations can be made in the same manner as the determination at the time of withdrawal. Next, an example of scrutiny when an empty cassette is specified as a scrutinization cassette will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining an example of scrutiny when an empty cassette is specified as a scrutinization cassette. In the example shown in FIG. 12, a small bundle of banknotes is stored in cassette A and cassette B, and a small bundle of banknotes is not stored in cassette C (state T11). In such a case, the control terminal 21 may refer to the small bundle management database 22 and specify the cassette C (empty cassette) in which the small bundle banknotes are not stored as the scrutinization cassette.

  Here, assuming that the cassette A is specified as the scrutiny target cassette, the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports the small bundle banknotes from the scrutiny target cassette A to the scrutinization use cassette C (state T12). In 194, the number of bundles of small banknotes is counted. In addition, the small bundle banknote conveyed by the scrutinization use cassette C may be returned to the scrutinization object cassette A by the 3rd small bundle conveyance part 133. For example, the case where the denomination that can be stored differs between the scrutinization target cassette A and the scrutinization cassette C is applicable.

  In such a case, when the small bundle banknotes are returned from the scrutinization cassette C to the scrutinization target cassette A, the number of bundles of the small bundle banknotes may be counted. However, for example, when the denominations that can be stored between the scrutinization target cassette A and the scrutiny target cassette C are different, the accuracy of counting the number of bundles is greater when taking out a small bundle of bills from the scrutiny target cassette A. Expected to be high. This is because it is considered that the small banknotes originally stored in the scrutinization target cassette A can be taken out from the scrutiny target cassette A without any trouble.

  Thus, if an empty cassette is specified as a scrutinization cassette, regardless of whether the denominations of small bundles of bills that can be stored in the scrutiny cassette and the scrutiny cassette are the same, the scrutiny cassette and the scrutiny It is possible to count the number of bundles of small bundle banknotes in the process of conveying the small bundle banknotes between the cassettes in use.

  The example of the scrutiny when the empty cassette is specified as the scrutinization cassette has been described above. Next, an example of scrutiny when a cassette of the same denomination as the scrutinization target denomination is specified as a scrutinization cassette will be described.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining an example of scrutiny when a cassette of the same denomination as that to be scrutinized is specified as a scrutinization cassette. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the denomination specified by the operator is the same as the denomination of the small banknotes that can store cassette A and cassette B, and the denomination that can be stored in cassette C is the same. Assume that it is different from the target denomination (state T21).

  In such a case, the control terminal 21 refers to the small bundle management database 22 to identify the cassette A and the cassette B that can store the small bundle banknotes of the deliberation target as the close target cassette, and to check the target gold. What is necessary is just to specify either the cassette A and the cassette B which can store a small bundle banknote as a scrutinization use cassette.

  In addition, when there are no plurality of cassettes that can store a small bundle of banknotes of the same denomination, or even if there are the plurality of cassettes, a small bundle of banknotes stored in one of the plurality of cassettes When everything is moved to a cassette stored in another cassette, the destination cassette will always be in a full state (a state where an attempt is made to store a small bundle of bills in a cassette exceeding the number of bundles that can be stored). In this case, the scrutinization cassette cannot be specified, and that effect is output by the control terminal 21.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, among the cassette A and the cassette B, the cassette B with a smaller number of small bundles of bills stored therein is specified as the scrutinization cassette. Here, the small bundle banknotes are conveyed from the scrutinization target cassette A to the scrutinization use cassette B (scrutiny target cassette B) by the third small bundle transport unit 133 (state T22). Thereby, the small bundle banknotes of the denominations to be examined are integrated into the examination use cassette B (the examination target cassette B).

  Subsequently, all the small bundle banknotes stored in the scrutinization cassette B (the scrutinization target cassette B) are transported to the scrutinization target cassette A by the third small bundle transport unit 133 (state T23), and the scrutiny unit in the course of transport In 194, the number of bundles of small banknotes is counted. In this way, when there are a plurality of cassettes whose denominations of the small banknotes that can be stored are the same as the denominations to be examined, if any one of the plurality of cassettes is specified as the examination use cassette, It is possible to count the number of bundles of small bundle bills by reducing the number of times of movement of bundle bills.

  The example of the scrutiny when the cassette of the same denomination as that to be scrutinized is specified as the scrutinization cassette has been described above. Next, an example of scrutiny when a denomination cassette different from the scrutiny denomination is specified as a scrutinization cassette will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining an example of scrutiny when a denomination cassette different from the denomination subject to scrutiny is specified as a scrutinization cassette. In the example shown in FIG. 14, the denomination specified by the operator is the same as the denomination of the small banknote that can be stored in the cassette C, and the small banknote that can store the cassette A and the cassette B. Are the same but are different from the denominations to be examined (state T31).

  In such a case, the control terminal 21 refers to the small bundle management database 22 and specifies the cassette C that can store the small bundle banknotes of the deliberation target as the close target cassette, and the small denomination of the same denomination What is necessary is just to specify either the cassette A which can accommodate a banknote, and the cassette B as a cassette used for close examination.

  In the example shown in FIG. 14, among the cassette A and the cassette B, the cassette A is specified as the scrutinization cassette. Here, since there is no cassette that can store a small bundle banknote of the same denomination as the small bundle banknote that can be stored in the cassette to be scrutinized, the third small bundle transport unit 133 changes the scrutinization cassette A to the scrutinization cassette A. The small bundle banknotes are conveyed to the cassette B that can store the small bundle banknotes of the same denomination (state T32). As a result, the scrutinization cassette A becomes an empty cassette.

  Subsequently, all the small bundle banknotes stored in the scrutinized cassette C are conveyed to the scrutinization cassette A by the third small bundle conveyance unit 133 (state T33), and in the course of conveyance, the scrutiny unit 194 The number of bundles is counted. Subsequently, the small bundle banknotes conveyed to the scrutinization cassette A are returned to the scrutinization target cassette C by the third small bundle conveyance unit 133. This is because the denomination that can be stored differs between the scrutinization cassette A and the scrutinization cassette C.

  In this way, even when there is only one cassette in which the denomination of the bankable banknotes that can be stored is the same as the denomination to be examined, there is a cassette that can store the small banknotes of the same denomination. If there are a plurality of cassettes, any one of the plurality of cassettes may be specified as the scrutinization cassette. By doing so, it becomes possible to count the number of bundles of small bundles of bills by reducing the number of times of movement of the small bundles of bills by making the scrutinized cassette into an empty cassette.

  As described above, the example of the scrutiny when the cassette of the denomination different from the scrutiny target is specified as the scrutinization cassette has been described. Subsequently, an operation example of scrutinization when an empty cassette is made by manual collection when there is no empty cassette will be described.

  FIGS. 15 to 17 are flowcharts showing an example of a scrutinizing operation when an empty cassette is made by manual collection when there is no empty cassette. As shown in FIG. 15, first, when a denomination to be examined is designated by the operator, the control terminal 21 holds the contents of the small bundle management database 22 before the examination (step S71). The control terminal 21 refers to the small bundle management database 22 and determines whether or not there is an empty cassette (step S72).

  If the control terminal 21 determines that there is an empty cassette (“Yes” in step S72), the control terminal 21 identifies the empty cassette as the cassette X (step S73), and proceeds to step S80. The cassette X corresponds to a scrutinization cassette in the above example. On the other hand, if the control terminal 21 determines that there is no empty cassette (“No” in step S72), the control terminal 21 specifies the cassette having the smallest number of small bundle banknotes as the cassette X (step S). ). The operator collects all the small bundle banknotes stored in the cassette X (step S75). Thereby, an empty cassette is generated.

  The control terminal 21 temporarily stores the denomination of the top banknote and the serial number of the top banknote of the collected small bundle banknote (step S76), and updates the small bundle management database 22 (step S77). In step S80, when the small bundle recognizing unit 150 takes out the small bundle banknotes from the unscrutinized cassette among the cassettes to be examined (step S80), the small bundle recognition unit 150 reads the serial number of the top banknote of the small bundle banknotes. Then, the denomination of the upper surface banknote is determined.

  The notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the cassette identifier for identifying the unscrutinized cassette, the denomination of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote, and the serial number of the top banknote (step S81). As described above, as the denomination and serial number notified to the control terminal 21, the denomination and serial number acquired by the recognition of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote by the small bundle recognition unit 150 may be used.

  Whether the control terminal 21 matches the denomination recorded in the small bundle management database 22 with the denomination notified from the notification unit 191 for the same cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191 It is determined whether or not (step S82). When the determination result indicating that the denominations do not match is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“No” in step S82), the third small bundle conveyance unit 133 conveys the small bundle banknotes to the reject box 170. (Step S83), the process proceeds to Step S86.

  Further, the control terminal 21 matches the serial number recorded in the small bundle management database 22 with the serial number notified from the notification unit 191 for the same cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191. It is determined whether or not there is (step S84). When the determination result indicating that the serial numbers do not match is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“No” in step S84), the third small bundle conveyance unit 133 conveys the small bundle banknotes to the reject box 170. (Step S83), the process proceeds to Step S86.

  On the other hand, when a determination result indicating that the denomination and the serial number match each other is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“Yes” in step S82 and “Yes” in step S84), the third small bundle transport The unit 133 conveys the small bundle banknotes to the cassette X (step S85), and proceeds to step S86. Subsequently, the scrutinizing unit 194 counts up the number of small banknotes (step S86).

  When the small bundle banknote remains in the unscrutinized cassette ("Yes" in step S87), the transport control unit 193 returns to step S80, but the small bundle banknote remains in the unscrutinized cassette. If not ("No" in step S87), the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports all the small bundles of bills from the cassette X to the unexamined cassette (step S88), The scrutiny is completed (step S89). The conveyance control unit 193 returns to step S80 when the scrutiny of all cassettes to be scrutinized has not been completed ("No" in step S90), but when the scrutiny of all cassettes to be scrutinized has been completed. (“Yes” in step S90), the process proceeds to step S91.

  When the process proceeds to step S91, the control terminal 21 compares the number of bundles obtained from the small bundle management database 22 before scrutiny and the scrutiny result (counted bundle number) except for the cassette X (step S91). If the result of the examination is not normal (“No” in step S92), the control terminal 21 proceeds to step S93. On the other hand, if the result of the examination is normal (“Yes” in step S92), the control terminal 21 proceeds to step S94.

  When the process proceeds to step S94, if the small bundle banknotes are not collected at step S75 (“No” at step S94), the scrutiny is finished, but when the small bundle banknotes are collected at step S75. ("Yes" in step S94), the operator deposits the collected time (collected small bundle banknotes) from the deposit port 110 (step S95), and the control terminal 21 updates the small bundle management database 22 (step S96).

  Subsequently, the control terminal 21 determines whether or not the contents of the converged time and the temporarily stored data in step S76 match (step S97), and if determined to match (“Yes” in step S97). However, if it is determined that they do not match (“No” in step S97), a confirmation instruction to the operator is output (step S93), and the examination is terminated.

  In the above, the operation example of the scrutinization when the empty cassette is made by manual collection when there is no empty cassette has been described. Subsequently, an operation example of scrutinization when it is determined whether or not there is a cassette of the same denomination as the denomination subject to scrutiny will be described.

  FIG. 18 and FIG. 19 are flowcharts showing an example of the scrutiny operation in the case where it is determined whether there is a cassette of the same denomination as the scrutiny target. As shown in FIG. 18, first, when a denomination to be examined is designated by the operator, the control terminal 21 specifies the cassette X (step S101). For example, the cassette X can be specified by the method described above.

  When the denomination K1 of the small bundle banknote stored in the specified cassette X is the same as the denomination K2 (“Yes” in step S102), the scrutinizing unit 194 displays “ "Match" is set (step S103), and the process proceeds to step S111. On the other hand, when the denomination K1 of the small bundle banknotes stored in the cassette X is different from the denomination K2 (“No” in step S102), the scrutinizing unit 194 sets “no match” in the denomination matching flag. Set (step S104), the process proceeds to step S105.

  When the process proceeds to step S105, the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports all the small bundle banknotes stored in the cassette X to another cassette in which the small bundle banknotes of the denomination K1 are stored (step S105). The process proceeds to step S111. Proceeding to step S111, when the small bundle recognizing unit 150 takes out the small bundle banknote from the unscrutinized cassette among the cassettes to be examined (step S105), the small bundle recognition unit 150 reads the serial number of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote. Then, the denomination of the upper surface banknote is determined.

  The notification unit 191 notifies the control terminal 21 of the cassette identifier for identifying the unscrutinized cassette, the denomination of the top banknote of the bundle of banknotes, and the serial number of the top banknote (step S112). As described above, as the denomination and serial number notified to the control terminal 21, the denomination and serial number acquired by the recognition of the top banknote of the small bundle banknote by the small bundle recognition unit 150 may be used.

  Whether the control terminal 21 matches the denomination recorded in the small bundle management database 22 with the denomination notified from the notification unit 191 for the same cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191 It is determined whether or not (step S113). When the determination result indicating that the denominations do not match is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“No” in step S113), the third small bundle conveyance unit 133 conveys the small bundle banknotes to the reject box 170. (Step S114), the process proceeds to Step S117.

  Further, the control terminal 21 matches the serial number recorded in the small bundle management database 22 with the serial number notified from the notification unit 191 for the same cassette identifier notified from the notification unit 191. It is determined whether or not (step S115). When the determination result indicating that the serial numbers do not match is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“No” in step S115), the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports the small bundle banknotes to the reject box 170. (Step S114), the process proceeds to Step S117.

  On the other hand, when a determination result indicating that the denomination and the serial number match each other is acquired by the acquisition unit 192 (“Yes” in step S113 and “Yes” in step S115), the third small bundle transport The unit 133 conveys the small bundle banknotes to the cassette X (step S116), and proceeds to step S117. Subsequently, if the denomination matching flag is “non-matching”, the scrutinizing unit 194 counts up the number of small bundles of banknotes (step S117).

  When the small bundle banknote remains in the unscrutinized cassette (“Yes” in step S118), the transport control unit 193 returns to step S111, but the small bundle banknote remains in the unscrutinized cassette. If not ("No" in step S118), the third small bundle transport unit 133 transports all the small banknotes from the cassette X to the unexamined cassette (step S119). If the denomination matching flag is “match”, the scrutinizing unit 194 counts the number of all the small bundle bills conveyed in step S119 (step S117), and completes the scrutiny of the unscrutinized cassette ( Step S121).

  The conveyance control unit 193 returns to step S111 when the scrutiny for all cassettes to be scrutinized is not completed ("No" in step S122), but when the scrutiny for all cassettes to be scrutinized is completed. ("Yes" in step S122) ends the scrutiny. In addition, since the small bundle banknote accommodated in each cassette may be changed before and after detailed examination, the small bundle management database 22 may be updated before completion of detailed examination.

  The operation example of the scrutiny in the case where it is determined whether or not the same denomination cassette as the scrutinization target exists is described above. The first embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
