Description

  The present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus, and can be applied to a banknote handling apparatus including a discrimination unit that discriminates banknotes, for example.

  In stores that handle a large number of banknotes in a day such as a main branch of a financial institution or a large retail store, a banknote bundling and organizing device has been introduced, and banknotes collected at the time of scrutiny, etc. are bundled and arranged at regular intervals. ing. In addition, in a center that collects banknotes from a plurality of main branches and retail stores, a banknote bundling and organizing device is introduced, and banknotes collected from each store are bundled and arranged every predetermined number.

  As a conventional banknote bundling arrangement device, there is a technology described in Patent Document 1. In the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, a large number of banknotes set in the input unit are conveyed one by one to the discrimination unit, and discrimination of denominations, correct bills or damaged bills is performed, Based on the designation, it is sorted and collected into a plurality of temporary stacking units. In the conventional banknote bundling and arranging apparatus, when the number of stacked sheets reaches a predetermined number in the temporary stacking unit, the predetermined number of banknotes are bundled and released by a binding material such as a paper tape. Hereinafter, the banknotes after being bundled are referred to as “banknote bundles”, and the banknotes before being bundled are referred to as “bound banknotes”.

  Moreover, in the banknote bundling arrangement device described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to say that the banknotes are in a state in which the banknotes are severely damaged and are preferably returned to the banknote issuing bank (hereinafter referred to as “non-performing”). Banknotes that are not pain (hereinafter referred to as “correct bills”) are identified, and only correct bills are handled as bundled bills.

  Further, in the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, there are those that further subdivide the genuine bills and rank them according to the degree of pain. For example, in a conventional banknote bundling and organizing device, a relatively good (less painful) banknote that can withstand use in an automatic depositing and dispensing machine represented by ATM / CD is an ATM ticket (ATM-FIT ticket), There are some that handle other regular tickets as circulation tickets. Further, in the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, discrimination is performed based on various inspection items (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “inspection items”) such as a banknote's fouling state and breakage state.

JP 2011-113152 A

  However, in recent banknote bundling and organizing apparatuses, it is desired to classify banknotes by a subdivided classification method, and the discrimination level setting method of the discrimination unit is complicated, and it takes time to set the discrimination level. The problem can arise.

  For example, the conventional banknote classification method classifies the bill into two types: a regular note or a non-performing note. However, as mentioned above, since there are ATM-FIT tickets and other circulation tickets as mentioned above, it is desirable to distinguish and classify the three types of ATM tickets, circulation tickets, and non-use tickets. .

  Furthermore, for example, in order to separate circulation tickets and non-conformity tickets, distribution tickets and ATM tickets, the degree of defacement (for example, defacement of banknotes or defacement of watermarks, etc.), degree of breakage ( For example, it is necessary to appropriately set the subdivided discrimination determination level such as whether the corner is broken or broken, and whether or not the tape is attached to the bill.

  As described above, the banknote classification method is subdivided, and if the discrimination determination level of the discrimination section is not set appropriately, there may be a problem that the improper banknote mixture rate deteriorates.

  Therefore, in view of the above problems, there is a demand for a banknote processing apparatus that can easily and appropriately set the banknote discrimination determination level of the discrimination section in order to reduce the improper banknote mixture rate.

  In order to solve such a problem, the banknote processing apparatus of the present invention stores, for each inspection item, a plurality of inspection items for evaluating the banknote state and a discrimination level value for classifying the banknote into a plurality of attributes according to the banknote state. The evaluation level value of the plurality of inspection items is determined for the banknote state of the input banknote with the discrimination level storage means, and the input banknote is set to one of the plurality of attributes based on the determination result of the plurality of inspection items. It is characterized by comprising banknote state determining means for determining and determination level changing means for changing the determination level values of a plurality of inspection items.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily and appropriately set the banknote discrimination determination level of the discrimination section in order to reduce the improper banknote mixture rate.

It is an inspection item applied only to banknotes, 20 yuan banknotes, and 10 yuan banknotes, and other inspection items are inspection items common to all bill types.

  Among the inspection items shown in FIG. 7, “watermark partial contamination”, “portrait portion partial contamination”, “outer peripheral partial contamination”, and “other partial contamination” are inspection items relating to the contamination of each banknote portion. "Watermark partial stain", "Portrait partial stain" and "Outer peripheral stain" are related to the degree of stain of the corresponding parts (the watermark part, portrait part and outer peripheral part of the banknote), respectively. This is an inspection item. “Other partial contamination” is an inspection item relating to the degree of contamination of portions other than the above three inspection items. For example, the discrimination unit 2 calculates a higher recognition level for each part related to each inspection item described above, as the area of the contamination is smaller.

  “Total pollution: one hundred”, “total pollution: fifty”, “total pollution: twenty”, and “total pollution: ten” are inspection items relating to the degree of pollution with respect to the entire area of the corresponding ticket type. “Total pollution: Hundred”, “Total pollution: Fifty”, “Total pollution: Twenty”, and “Total pollution: Ten”, for example, calculate a higher recognition level as the total area of the banknote is smaller. To do. Thereby, in the discrimination part 2, the process of setting a high discrimination | determination level, for example, can be performed, so that a high price banknote.

  Among the inspection items shown in FIG. 7, the inspection items “specific pattern graffiti”, “watermark portion graffiti”, “portrait portion graffiti”, and “other graffiti” are inspection items related to graffiti written or overwritten on banknotes. is there. “Watermark portion graffiti” and “portrait portion graffiti” are inspection items related to the degree of graffiti (for example, the area of graffiti) for each portion of the banknote. “Watermark portion graffiti” and “Portrait portion graffiti” are inspection items related to the degree of graffiti of the corresponding parts (the watermark portion and the portrait portion, respectively) of the bill. The “other part graffiti” is an inspection item relating to the degree of graffiti of the part other than the above two inspection items. For example, the discrimination unit 2 calculates a higher recognition level for each part related to the inspection items of “watermark part graffiti” and “portrait part graffiti” as the area of graffiti stain is smaller.

  The “specific pattern graffiti” is an inspection item related to whether or not a pre-registered specific pattern graffiti is touched. In the discrimination unit 2, images of one or more specific patterns are registered in advance. And the discrimination part 2 collates whether the image of a specific pattern is drawn on the banknote. Examples of the specific pattern include an advertisement related to a specific company, religion, organization, country, ethnicity, or an image with content that defeats honor. The “specific pattern graffiti” is an inspection item relating to whether or not a specific pattern is formed on the banknote. Therefore, the discrimination unit 2 of this embodiment outputs the lowest value “1” as the recognition level of “specific pattern graffiti” for banknotes for which a specific pattern is detected, and “specific pattern” for banknotes for which no specific pattern is detected. The description will be made assuming that the maximum value “255” is output as the recognition level of “Doodle”.

  “Corner breakage breakage”, “corner breakage breakage”, “shape breakage”, “breakage breakage”, and “hole breakage” are inspection items related to the degree of breakage of a bill. The “corner breakage breakage” is an inspection item indicating the degree of breakage of the corner portion of the bill. The “corner breakage breakage” is an inspection item indicating the degree of breakage due to the breakage of the corner portion of the bill. “Shape breakage” is an inspection item relating to the degree of breakage of the outer peripheral portion (overall shape) of a bill. “Tear breakage” and “hole breakage” are inspection items relating to the degree (size) of tears and holes in the inner part of the bill, respectively. The discriminating unit 2 determines the size of the broken portion (for example, breakage, breakage) for each part related to the inspection items of “corner breakage breakage”, “corner breakage breakage”, “shape breakage”, “breakage breakage”, and “hole breakage”. The smaller (smaller) the size of tears, holes, etc., the higher the recognition level is calculated.

  The inspection item “tape” is an inspection item relating to a tape or the like adhered to a banknote. The discrimination unit 2 calculates a lower recognition level for the inspection item “tape” as the attached tape is smaller (smaller).

  In the discrimination unit 2 and the discrimination level setting information 522 of this embodiment, the above inspection items are supported, but the combination of inspection items to be applied, the number of discrimination levels to be set, and the like are not limited. . In addition, the control part 50 is a parameter (lossed ticket level and ATM ticket level) concerning each inspection item of the discrimination level setting information 522 according to an operation (for example, an operation on a menu screen or the like) on the operation display unit 13 by the operator. It is possible to accept the change.

(A-2) Operation of the First Embodiment FIGS. 8 and 9 are flowcharts showing the operation of the discrimination level setting process in the banknote bundling organizing device 100 of the first embodiment.

  First, based on an operator operation on the operation display unit 13, the operation display unit 13 displays a predetermined preparation completion screen (S101).

  FIG. 10 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a preparation completion screen according to the first embodiment. The preparation completion screen shown in FIG. 10 includes a “recognition” key B31, a field F31, a field F32, and a field F33.

  A “recognition” key B31 shown in FIG. 10 is a selection key for setting the discrimination level of the appraisal unit 2. The operator can set or change the discrimination level of the appraisal unit 2 by selecting the “recognition” key B31.

  A field F31 shown in FIG. 10 includes a bill type to be accumulated in the non-bundled banknote stacking unit 5 and the reject banknote stacking unit 8, a current number (currently stacked number), and a set number (upper limit of stacking in each pocket). This is a field for setting the number of sheets. The field F31 can be set for each non-bundled banknote stacking unit 5 and reject banknote stacking unit 8 that are open pockets, for example, in a table format. For example, in the item “pocket” of the field F31, “1” indicates the banknote stacking unit 5 that is not to be bound, and “RJ” indicates the reject banknote stacking unit 8 and the reject pocket 8.

  A field F32 shown in FIG. 10 includes, for each of the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e, a denomination that is currently stacked, a fractional number (the number that is not currently bundled), and the number of bundles (bundling (application). This is a field for setting the number of bill bundles). The field F32 can be set for each temporary stacking unit 61a to 61e, for example, in a table format. The numbers “1” to “5” described in the item “sealing” in the field F32 indicate the stacking unit ID.

  The control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state, and when the “recognition” key B31 is selected by the operator on the operation display unit 13 displaying the preparation completion screen (S102), the discrimination level display control unit 531 of the control unit 50 is displayed. The discrimination level information currently stored in the setting storage buffer is moved to the editing storage buffer (S103). As a result, the currently set discrimination level information can be moved to the editing storage buffer, so that the set value of the currently set discrimination level information can be changed.

  Further, the discrimination level display control unit 531 causes the operation display unit 13 to display a recognition level setting screen for setting / changing the set value of the discrimination level information (S104).

  Here, the discrimination level display control unit 531 reflects the set value of the discrimination level information stored in the editing storage buffer on the recognition level setting screen. Thereby, the currently set discrimination level information can be displayed on the recognition level setting screen, and when the setting is changed, the changed set value can be stored in the editing storage buffer.

  FIG. 11 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a recognition level setting screen according to the first embodiment. The recognition level setting screen illustrated in FIG. 11 is a screen including the inspection items set in the determination level setting information 522 and the determination level information of each inspection item (that is, the loss ticket level and the ATM ticket level). Thereby, it is possible to set and change the discrimination level information for each inspection item. For example, in the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 11, F401 indicates that the discrimination level information currently set for the inspection item “01 watermark partial stain” is “100 (damaged ticket level) / 200 (ATM ticket level)”. Indicates. Similarly. F402 to F418 also indicate each inspection item and its discrimination level information. Further, the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 11 has a “confirm” key B41 and a “cancel” key B42.

  The control unit 50 waits for a key press (S105), and when an inspection item for which the operator wants to change the setting value is selected on the recognition level setting screen, the discrimination level display control unit 521 selects the selected inspection item. The recognition level setting screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S106), and the control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state (S107).

Here, a case where the operator changes the set value of the discrimination level information of the search item “watermark partial stain” is illustrated. That is, it is assumed that “01 watermark partial contamination” F401 is selected on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. If the “confirm” key or the “cancel” key is pressed, the process proceeds to S112, a preparation completion screen is displayed, and the process ends. FIGS. 12 and 13 illustrate the inspection according to the first embodiment. It is a screen figure which shows an example of the recognition level setting screen for every item. 12 and 13 show an example of the recognition level setting screen for the inspection item “01 watermark partial stain”.

  The recognition level setting screen illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13 includes a field F51 indicating the inspection item name, a field F52 indicating the determination level information of the inspection item before the change, and the determination level information of the inspection item after the change. And a level setting field F54 for increasing / decreasing the level of banknotes, a level setting field F55 for increasing / decreasing the ATM ticket level, a “confirm” key B51, and a “cancel” key B52.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the discrimination unit 2 evaluates the state of the banknote at a discrimination level of 255 levels from “1” to “255”. Fields F52 and F53 display the recognition levels recognized as “damaged ticket”, “distributed ticket” and “ATM ticket” in the bar graph format among the discrimination levels in 255 stages.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 12, the determination level values “1” to “100” are “damaged tickets”, the determination level values “101” to “199” are “distributed tickets”, and the determination level value “200”. ”To“ 255 ”are assumed to be“ ATM tickets ”. In other words, “100”, which is the upper limit value of “slip ticket”, is “slip sheet level”, and “200”, which is the lower limit value of “ATM ticket”, is “ATM ticket level”.

  In the level setting fields F54 and F55, the current “lossy ticket level” and “ATM ticket level” are displayed. In the level setting fields F54 and F55, a “−10” key, a “−1” key, a “+1” key, and a “+10” key for increasing or decreasing the setting value of the determination level are arranged. For example, when the “−10” key is pressed, the set value of the discrimination level information is subtracted by “10” from the current value. In this way, the operator selects the “-10” key, the “−1” key, the “+1” key, and the “+10” key to set the desired values for the “damaged ticket level” and “ATM ticket level”. The value can be changed.

The discrimination level setting unit 532 writes the setting value of the inspection item's loss ticket level or ATM ticket level acquired by the operator's operation to the editing storage buffer and displays the changed setting value on the recognition level setting screen. (S108)
For example, FIG. 13 is a screen showing the recognition level after changing “watermark partial stain”. The recognition level setting screen of FIG. 13 illustrates the case where the discrimination level value is changed from “100” to “80” for “slippery ticket level”. In this case, the bar graph shown in the field F53 also changes from “100” to “80” in accordance with the change of the “lossy ticket level”. Thereby, the operator can visually recognize the change of the recognition level.

  When the change of the discrimination level value by the operator is completed, the “confirm” key B51 is pressed by the operator (S107). When the “Cancel” key B52 is pressed, the process proceeds to S104 and is continued.

  When the “Confirm” key B51 is pressed, the discrimination level setting unit 532 displays the discrimination level information (lossy ticket level, ATM ticket level) of each inspection item written in the editing storage buffer on the recognition level setting screen. Displayed (S109).

  Here, FIG. 14 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of the recognition level setting screen after the change. As shown in FIG. 14, in order to allow the operator to visually recognize the changed portion of each inspection item whose determination level information has been changed, the changed portion may be highlighted. good. For example, in the case of the example in FIG. 14, a case where the display color of the changed determination level information (for example, displayed in orange or red) is changed is illustrated. Of course, the highlighted display mode may not only change the display color but also blink the changed portion, display it in bold, or display it with colored characters.

  The control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state (S110), and when the key of each inspection item is pressed on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 14, the process proceeds to S106, and the recognition level of the selected inspection item is determined. A setting screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13. Thereby, it is possible to change the setting value of the discrimination level of another inspection item, or change the setting value of the discrimination level of the inspection item that has been changed this time again.

  In addition, when the “cancel” key B42 is pressed on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 14, the process proceeds to S112, a preparation completion screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S112), and the process ends. .

  On the other hand, when the “confirm” key is pressed on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 14, the discrimination level setting unit 532 moves the discrimination level information stored in the editing storage buffer to the setting storage buffer (S111). ). As described above, the discrimination unit 2 performs the bill state recognition process based on the discrimination level information stored in the setting storage buffer. Therefore, the discrimination level information after a change is moved to the setting storage buffer, and the discrimination part 2 performs a banknote state recognition process with the recognition level after a change. Thereafter, a preparation completion screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S112), and the process ends.

(A-3) Effects of the First Embodiment As described above, according to the first embodiment, the performance of banknote classification can be improved by subdividing each fouling level. In addition, the operability of the operator can be improved by making the display screen easier to see.

(B) 2nd Embodiment Next, 2nd Embodiment of the banknote processing apparatus of this invention is described in detail, referring drawings.

  Also in the second embodiment, a case where the present invention is applied to a banknote bundling apparatus that binds and organizes a predetermined number of banknotes is exemplified.

  In the first embodiment described above, for example, when counting the collected banknotes in which the banknote bundling and organizing apparatus is set, the discrimination unit classifies them into a non-performing ticket / corrected ticket or a non-performing ticket / distributed ticket / ATM ticket. The operator illustrated the case where the discrimination level information of each inspection item is individually adjusted by manual input based on the judgment result of the classified banknote status. The case of the first embodiment is also an effective method because the operator can adjust the discrimination level information.

  However, since the discrimination level information is manually adjusted, in order to determine whether or not the changed discrimination level information has been properly adjusted, the banknotes are again set in the banknote bundling device and the banknotes are appropriately classified. It is necessary to check whether or not

  Moreover, since the banknote classification method is subdivided, it is difficult to understand from which point of view the banknote that actually became a banknote was determined to be a banknote. As a result, there may be a problem that it becomes difficult to set the discrimination level information for each inspection item. In such a case, there may be a situation in which banknotes that are judged to be genuine are mixed in the damaged bill.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, when the operator determines the banknote status classified by the first count, and the banknote determined to be a genuine ticket (distribution ticket or ATM ticket) is mixed in the banknote, The discrimination level information can be automatically set based on the discrimination result of the banknote determined to be a genuine note.

(B-1) Configuration of Second Embodiment Basically, the banknote bundling apparatus of the second embodiment is the same as or corresponding to the banknote bundling apparatus 100 of the first embodiment. A thing provided with can be applied. Therefore, also in 2nd Embodiment, suppose that FIGS. 1-4 is used and suppose that the same code | symbol is used about the component shown in FIGS. 1-4.

  FIG. 15: is a block diagram which shows the structure of the control system of the banknote binding organization apparatus 100 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment.

  In FIG. 15, the banknote binding and arranging device 100 according to the second embodiment includes a control unit 50 that controls overall operation of the banknote binding and arranging device 100. Similarly to the first embodiment, the control unit 50 according to the second embodiment also includes an input unit 1, a discrimination unit 2, a conveyance path 3, a front / back adjustment unit 4, and a stacking unit 6 via an I / O interface circuit 51. The operation unit 7, the transfer unit 9, the banknote binding unit 10, the operation display unit 13, the counters 51a to 51e, and the like are connected.

  The control unit 50 according to the second embodiment includes a discrimination control unit 53 and a storage unit 52 that stores at least the temporary accumulation unit setting information 521 and the discrimination level setting information 522.

  The discrimination control unit 53 includes a discrimination level display control unit 531 and a discrimination level automatic setting unit 533.

  As in the first embodiment, the discrimination level display control unit 531 displays a discrimination level setting screen on the operation display unit 13 when a signal indicating the setting or change of the discrimination level is input from the operation display unit 13. It is. Similarly to the first embodiment, when a signal indicating the setting or change of the discrimination level is input, the discrimination level display control unit 531 stores the discrimination level information before the change in the editing storage buffer. Move to display the discrimination level setting screen.

  The discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 analyzes the factor that the discrimination unit 2 discriminates as a defective ticket based on the determination result that is judged as a slip by the discrimination unit 2, and the discrimination level information of the inspection item that is the factor The setting value is changed.

  That is, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 analyzes which inspection item discrimination level value is less than the loss ticket level as a factor that the discrimination unit 2 determines as a loss ticket. Then, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 subtracts a predetermined value from the analyzed slip item level (discrimination level information) of the inspection item, and sets the subtracted inspection item level value as the set value after the change. As a result, it is possible to automatically change the discrimination level information of the inspection item for the correct ticket determined to be a non-performing ticket.

  Note that various methods can be applied to the method for changing the discrimination level value of the inspection item by the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533. For example, for all the inspection items, a value (a preset value from the level value before the change ( For example, “10”) may be subtracted, or a value set in advance for each inspection item may be subtracted.

(B-2) Operation of the Second Embodiment FIGS. 16 and 17 are flowcharts showing the operation of the discrimination level setting process in the banknote bundling apparatus 100 of the second embodiment.

  First, based on an operator operation on the operation display unit 13, the operation display unit 13 displays a predetermined preparation completion screen (S201). The preparation completion screen is the same as or corresponds to the screen example of FIG. 10 of the first embodiment.

  When the control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state and the “recognition” key B31 is selected by the operator in the operation display unit 13 displaying the preparation completion screen (S202), the discrimination level display control unit 531 of the control unit 50 is selected. Moves the discrimination level information currently stored in the setting storage buffer to the editing storage buffer (S203).

  Also, the discrimination level display control unit 531 displays a recognition level setting screen for setting / changing the set value of the discrimination level information on the operation display unit 13 (S204). At this time, the discrimination level display control unit 531 displays the sorting level information stored in the editing storage buffer on the recognition level setting screen.

  FIG. 18 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a recognition level setting screen according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 18, the recognition level screen of the second embodiment includes fields F401 to F418 indicating discrimination level information (lossy ticket level and ATM ticket level) of each inspection item, a “confirmation” key B41, and a “cancel” key. B42 and an “automatic setting (defect ticket)” key B43.

  At this time, the control unit 50 is waiting for a key press (S205). When the operator selects the “confirm” key B41 or the “cancel” key B42, the process proceeds to S218.

  On the other hand, when setting the discrimination level information of the inspection item of the genuine bill determined to be a non-performing ticket, when the “automatic setting (slipper)” key B43 is selected by the operator (S205), the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 As shown in FIG. 19, a message M44 such as “Set a correct note in the slot and press the“ counting start / stop ”key” is displayed on the screen (S206). This is to allow the discrimination unit 2 to perform a bill state recognition process on the correct bill determined to be a non-performing bill.

  Then, a correct note classified as a non-performing bill is set in the insertion unit 8 by the operator (S207), and when the "counting start / stop" key 7a is pressed (S208), the insertion unit 8 inserts the set banknote. It sends to the discrimination part 2, and the discrimination part 2 performs a banknote state recognition process (counting operation | movement) about the said banknote. At this time, as shown in FIG. 20, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 displays a message M45 such as “Now reading a bad ticket recognition level” on the screen (S209).

  In addition, the number of banknotes (correct bills) set in the operator insertion unit 8 may be one or a plurality. Furthermore, when a plurality of banknotes are set, the denominations of the banknotes to be set may be the same or different.

  When there is no banknote set in the insertion unit 8 or when the “counting start / stop” key 7a is pressed (that is, when counting stop is instructed) (S210), the discrimination unit 2 performs the counting operation (banknote). The state recognition process is stopped (S211).

  As illustrated in FIG. 21, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 “presses the“ complete ”key when setting a non-performing ticket level”. When the loss ticket level is read again, a message M46 such as “Set a correct note in the input section and press the“ counting start / stop ”key” is displayed on the screen (S212).

  Then, the control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state (S213). When the “counting start / stop” key 7a is pressed by the operator, the process proceeds to S206. This is done, for example, when a bill remains in the insertion unit 8.

  On the other hand, when the “complete” key 7 b of the operation unit 7 is pressed by the operator, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 acquires the processing result of the bill state recognition processing by the discrimination unit 2. The discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 analyzes the factor determined as a non-performing ticket by the discrimination unit 2 and specifies the inspection item that caused the factor. Then, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 reduces the set value of the defective item level of the inspection item that caused the factor by a predetermined value (here, “10” as an example) from the value before the change, and changes the value after the change. Is written in the editing storage buffer as a recognition level value (S214). The discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 displays the changed recognition level value of the inspection item on the recognition level setting screen (S215).

  FIG. 22 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a recognition level setting screen that displays the changed recognition level value by the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 according to the second embodiment. In the case of the example in FIG. 22, the discrimination unit 2 determines that the discrimination level value of the inspection items “01 watermark partial stain” and “04 other partial stain” is less than the non-slip ticket level value for the current bill. is there. In this case, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 sets the set value of the discrimination level (that is, the loss ticket level) for the inspection items of “01 watermark partial stain” and “04 other partial stain” (for example, “100”). ”) To a value obtained by subtracting“ 10 ”(for example,“ 90 ”).

  The discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 may highlight the changed part so that the operator can visually recognize the changed part with respect to the changed inspection item recognition level. For example, change the display color of the changed judgment level information (for example, display it in orange or red), blink the changed part, display it in bold, or display it in colored characters Also good.

  The control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state (S216). When the “cancel” key B42 is pressed on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 22, the process proceeds to S218, and the preparation completion screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13. Displayed (S218), the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the “Confirm” key is pressed on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 22, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 533 moves the discrimination level information stored in the editing storage buffer to the setting storage buffer ( S217). Thereafter, a preparation completion screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S218), and the process ends.

(B-3) Effect of the Second Embodiment As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the effect of the first embodiment, the judgment of the non-performing ticket factor classified as a non-performing ticket by the discrimination unit. Since the recognition level of the inspection item can be automatically adjusted, the operator can easily set the adjustment value, and the work time can be shortened.

B42, an “automatic setting (damaged ticket)” key B47, and an “automatic setting (ATM ticket)” key B48.

  At this time, the control unit 50 is in a state of waiting for a key press (S305). When the “confirm” key B41 or the “cancel” key B42 is selected by the operator, the process proceeds to SG320.

  When the operator automatically selects the “automatic setting (slippered)” key B47 when performing automatic setting of the defective ticket level of each inspection item (S305), the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534, as shown in FIG. Then, a message M44 such as “Please set the correct ticket in the slot and press the“ counting start / stop ”key” is displayed on the screen (S306).

  Then, when the operator sets a correct note classified as a damaged note in the previous counting operation (banknote state recognition process) in the insertion unit 8 (S307), and presses the “counting start / stop” key 7a. (S308), throwing-in part 8 sends the set banknote to discrimination part 2, and discrimination part 2 performs banknote state recognition processing (counting operation) about the banknote. The banknotes are stacked in a non-binding target stacking unit that is an open pocket. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 displays a message M45 such as “Now reading loss recognition level” on the screen (S309).

  In addition, the number of banknotes (correct bills) set in the operator insertion unit 8 may be one or a plurality. Furthermore, when a plurality of banknotes are set, the denominations of the banknotes to be set may be the same or different.

  The recognition level value of each inspection item of all banknotes subjected to the banknote state recognition processing by the discrimination unit 2 is stored in the storage unit 52 as the recognition level information 523.

  FIG. 34 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the configuration of the recognition level information 523 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 34, the recognition level information 523 stores the recognition level values of all banknotes for which all banknotes have been recognized by the banknote state recognition processing of the discrimination unit 2 and ATM bank level recognition levels. Is done. That is, the recognition level information 523 stores the loss level and the recognition level value of the ATM bill level of all the inspection items of the bill inserted into the Nth (N is an integer) number from the first inserted bill. .

  When there is no banknote set in the insertion unit 8 or when the “counting start / stop” key 7a is pressed (that is, when counting stop is instructed) (S310), the discrimination unit 2 performs a counting operation (banknote). The state recognition process is stopped (S311).

  As illustrated in FIG. 21, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 “presses the“ Done ”key to set a non-performing ticket level. When the loss ticket level is read again, a message M46 such as “Set the correct note in the insertion part and press the“ counting start / stop ”key” is displayed on the screen (S312).

  Then, the control unit 50 enters a key press waiting state (S313). When the “counting start / stop” key 7a is pressed by the operator, the process proceeds to S309. This is done, for example, when a bill remains in the insertion unit 8.

  On the other hand, when the “completion” key 7b of the operation unit 7 is pressed by the operator, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 recognizes the recognition level information (that is, the recognition state information of the banknote state recognition processing of all banknotes by the discrimination unit 2). The recognition level of each inspection item of all banknotes is read from the storage unit 52 (S314).

  The discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 searches for the minimum value of the recognition level of each inspection item based on the recognition level of each inspection item of all banknotes. Then, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 compares the minimum value of the recognition level of each inspection item and the set value of the discrimination level before the change of each corresponding inspection item (S315).

  When the minimum value of the inspection item recognition level is larger than the setting value of the determination level of the inspection item before the change (S316), the determination level automatic setting unit 534 sets the minimum value of the inspection item recognition level to Writing into the editing storage buffer (S317). That is, for the inspection item in which the minimum value of the recognition level is larger than the set value of the discrimination level, the set value of the discrimination level is updated. The discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 updates the discrimination level setting value for all inspection items.

  On the other hand, when the minimum value of the recognition level of each inspection item is not larger than the set value of the discrimination level of each inspection item before the change (S316), the process proceeds to S317.

  The discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 displays the discrimination level setting value of the changed inspection item on the recognition level setting screen (S318).

  FIG. 29 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a recognition level setting screen that displays the changed recognition level value by the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 according to the third embodiment. For example, in FIG. 29, the “01 watermark partial stain” loss ticket level is “99”. This is as a result of comparing the previously set loss level value of “01 watermark partial stain” with the minimum value of the recognition level of “01 watermark partial stain” recognized by the discrimination unit 2 by the banknote state recognition process. This means that the level value “99” was the largest value.

  It should be noted that the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 may highlight the changed part so that the operator can visually recognize the changed part with respect to the recognition level of the changed inspection item. For example, change the display color of the changed judgment level information (for example, display it in orange or red), blink the changed part, display it in bold, or display it in colored characters Also good.

  The controller 50 enters a key press waiting state (S319). When the “Confirm” key B41 is pressed on the recognition level setting screen of FIG. 29, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 moves the discrimination level information stored in the editing storage buffer to the setting storage buffer (S320). ). Thereafter, a preparation completion screen is displayed on the operation display unit 13 (S321), and the process ends.

  The discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 searches for the minimum value of the recognition level of each inspection item based on the recognition level of each inspection item of all banknotes. Then, the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 compares the minimum value of the recognition level of each inspection item with the set value of the discrimination level before the change of each corresponding inspection item (S331).

  When the minimum value of the inspection item recognition level is larger than the setting value of the determination level of the inspection item before the change (S332), the determination level automatic setting unit 534 sets the minimum value of the inspection item recognition level to Writing into the editing storage buffer (S333). That is, for the inspection item in which the minimum value of the recognition level is larger than the set value of the discrimination level, the set value of the discrimination level is updated. The discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 updates the discrimination level setting value for all inspection items.

  On the other hand, when the minimum value of the recognition level of each inspection item is not greater than the set value of the discrimination level of each inspection item before the change (S332), the process proceeds to S334.

  The discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 displays the discrimination level setting value of the changed inspection item on the recognition level setting screen (S334).

  FIG. 33 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a recognition level setting screen that displays the changed recognition level value by the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 of the third embodiment. For example, in FIG. 33, the ATM ticket level of “01 watermark partial stain” is “200”. This is a result of comparing the preset ATM ticket level value of “01 watermark partial stain” and the minimum value of the recognition level of “01 watermark partial stain” recognized by the discrimination unit 2 by the banknote state recognition process. This means that the level value “99” was the smallest value.

  It should be noted that the discrimination level automatic setting unit 534 may highlight the changed part so that the operator can visually recognize the changed part with respect to the recognition level of the changed inspection item. For example, change the display color of the changed judgment level information (for example, display it in orange or red), blink the changed part, display it in bold, or display it in colored characters Also good.
