Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet processing method for depositing banknotes, coins, gift certificates and the like.

  Conventionally, a sales deposit machine has been widely used as a currency processing apparatus for depositing sales. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a typical sales deposit machine.

  In such a sales deposit machine, each accepted money is identified and normal money is held in the temporary holding part, while abnormal money is rejected to the rejecting part. The normal money held in the temporary holding unit is sent to the corresponding storage unit after being approved by the operator of the sales deposit machine. The storage unit is generally a bill cassette or a coin cassette. (If the operator of the sales deposit machine is not approved, normal money held in the temporary holding unit is also taken out of the machine.)

  A gift certificate deposit machine is also used as a money handling apparatus for depositing gift certificates. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a typical gift certificate deposit machine.

  In such a gift certificate deposit machine, each of the accepted gift certificates is identified and a normal gift certificate is held in the temporary holding unit, while an abnormal gift certificate is rejected to the reject unit. The normal gift certificate held in the temporary holding unit is sent to the corresponding storage unit after being approved by the operator of the gift certificate depositing machine. The storage unit is generally a gift certificate cassette having the same configuration as the banknote cassette. (If the operator of the gift certificate depositing machine is not approved, the normal gift certificate held in the temporary holding unit is also taken out of the machine.)

  Then, by collecting the cassette 1 by a collection operation to be described later, after that, after the cassette 2 becomes full, a control is realized that normal bills are loaded into the newly loaded cassette 1. be able to.

  The same applies to coins. First, (Step S101) and (Step S102) are performed, and then the following flow continues.

  (Step S131) Coins are inserted into the coin insertion unit 110.

  (Step S132) Each of the inserted coins is identified by the coin identifying unit 120.

  (Step S133) The identified coin is transported to the first coin accumulating unit 141 (coin reject unit) if it is a reject coin according to the classification condition (1) by the coin transport classification mechanism 130, and the first coin if it is a normal coin. 2 coin accumulation part 142 (one coin temporary storage part).

  (Step S134) Each coin transported to the first coin stacking unit 141 (coin reject unit) or the second coin stacking unit 142 (one coin temporary holding unit) is temporarily stacked there.

  (Step S135) The coins accumulated in the second coin accumulating unit 142 are accommodated in the corresponding coin accommodating unit 152 at an appropriate timing (generally after approval by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 attached to the coin storage unit 152.

  (Step S140) When it is expected that a predetermined number of normal coins are stored in the cassette 1 by counting the identification results by the coin identification unit 120, the control mode by the coin transport classification mechanism 130 according to the classification condition (1). Is changed. Specifically, in the coin control unit 136, when the identified coin is a normal coin, the transport control to the second coin stacking unit 142 until then is the transport control to the third coin stacking unit 143. Can be switched to.

  (Steps S141 and S142) After the transfer control is switched, each of the coins inserted into the coin insertion unit 110 is similarly identified by the coin identification unit 120.

  (Step S143) If the identified coin is a reject coin according to the classification condition (1) by the coin transport classification mechanism 130, it is transported to the first coin accumulating unit 141 (coin reject unit), and if it is a normal coin, This time, it is conveyed to the third coin accumulating unit 143 (the other coin temporary holding unit).

  (Step S144) Each coin conveyed to the first coin accumulating unit 141 (coin rejecting unit) or the third coin accumulating unit 142 (the other coin temporary holding unit) is temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S145) The coins accumulated in the third accumulation unit 143 are accommodated in the corresponding coin storage unit 153 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 attached to the coin storage unit 153.

  According to the above flow, coins to be collected as sales are first loaded into the cassette 1 mounted in the coin storage unit 152, and after the cassette 1 becomes full, another coin storage unit. It is possible to realize the control of loading into the cassette 2 mounted on 153.

  And the collection | recovery of the cassette 1 is performed by the collection | recovery operation | work mentioned later, and after that, after the cassette 2 becomes a full state, the control that a normal banknote is conveyed by the newly mounted cassette 1 is implement | achieved. be able to.

  Next, the second half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (1) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the collection status corresponding to the classification condition (1).

  (Step S161) The IC card of the operator who is going to perform the collection work is read via the IC card reader 71.

  (Step S162) When it is determined that the IC card read via the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by an operator belonging to the security dealer, the lock control unit 65 makes all the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, 163, and 165 are released.

  (Step S163) When the lock control unit 65 releases the lock mechanism 165, the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 can be pulled out in front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S164) In this state, the operator who wants to perform the collection operation pulls out the storage units 53, 54 and the coin storage units 152, 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and locks 63, 64, 162, 163. The cassettes are collected from the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 that have been released, and an empty cassette is mounted instead. Of course, if the cassette still has enough free space, it is possible to adopt the option of not replacing the cassette with an empty cassette at the discretion of the operator.

  (Step S165) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, and 163 are locked again. The

  (Step S166) When the information of the replaced cassette is input through the display / operation unit 72, for example, the count information of the number of stored sheets is appropriately corrected based on the information. Specifically, when banknotes / coins are already temporarily accumulated in the corresponding stacking unit (temporary holding unit), the count value from the banknote / coin is corrected and the corresponding stacking unit (temporary holding). Part) is corrected to zero when banknotes / coins are not yet accumulated.

  With the flow as described above, it is possible to reliably realize the collection of banknotes and coins stored only by an operator belonging to the security dealer.

  Next, details of the classification condition (2) that can be used instead of the classification condition (1) will be described. In the classification condition (2), as shown in FIG. 3, the bills to be reused as change reserves are conveyed to the third stacking unit 43 corresponding to the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53. The banknotes to be collected as sales proceeds are conveyed to the fourth stacking unit 44 corresponding to the cassette 2 mounted in one storage unit 54. The paper sheets identified as reject banknotes by the identifying unit 20 are sent to the paper sheet rejecting unit which is the first stacking unit 41. In the classification condition (1), the paper sheet stacker unit that is the second stacking unit 42 is not used.

  The same applies to coins. Under classification condition (1), coins scheduled to be reused as change reserves are transported to the second coin stacking unit 142 corresponding to the cassette 1 attached to the coin storage unit 152. Coins scheduled to be collected are conveyed to the third coin accumulating unit 143 corresponding to the cassette 2 mounted in the other coin storage unit 153 as sales. The coin identified as the reject coin by the identification unit 20 is sent to a coin reject unit which is the first stacking unit 141.

  The first half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (2) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an accumulation state corresponding to the classification condition (2).

  (Step S201) The classification condition (2) is stored in the storage unit 80 in advance.

  (Step S202) Moreover, the collection conditions corresponding to the classification condition (2) are stored in the storage unit 80 in advance. The collection condition of the present embodiment is that the store in which the money handling apparatus 100 is installed permits the collection to the storage unit 53 and the coin storage unit 152, and the other storage unit 54 For the coin storage unit 153, the condition is that the policer permits the collection. Specifically, for the storage unit 53 and the coin storage unit 152, the collection condition is that the IC card held by the operator belonging to the store is read via the IC card reader 71. For the storage unit 54 and the coin storage unit 153, the collection condition is that the IC card held by the operator belonging to the security dealer is read via the IC card reader 71. (When each recovery condition is satisfied, the lock control unit 65 releases the corresponding lock mechanism 63, 162 or the lock mechanism 64, 163.)

  (Step S203) Moreover, the banknote processing mode which processes a banknote as paper sheets is previously selected as a processing mode corresponding to classification | category condition (2), and the information is memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 80. FIG.

  (Step S211) In the state described above, the paper sheet is loaded into the loading unit 10.

  (Step S212) Each input paper sheet is identified by the identifying unit 20. At this time, according to a banknote processing mode, the conveyance speed of a banknote is controlled to 2000 mm / sec, and the reading speed of the banknote by the identification part 20 is 12 sheets / sec.

  (Step S213) If the identified paper sheets are rejected banknotes according to the classification condition (2) by the transport classification mechanism 30, they are transported to the first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet rejecting part) and used as change reserves. If it is a banknote to be reused, it is conveyed to the third stacking unit 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage unit), and if it is a banknote to be collected as sales, the fourth stacking unit 44 (the other paper) It is conveyed to the leaf temporary storage section. At this time, according to a banknote processing mode, the conveyance speed of a banknote is controlled to 2000 mm / sec.

  (Step S214) The first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet rejecting unit), the third stacking unit 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage unit) or the fourth stacking unit 44 (the other paper sheet temporary storage unit) ), The bills are temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S215) The banknotes stacked in the third stacking unit 43 are stored in the corresponding storage unit 53 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53. Similarly, the banknotes stacked in the fourth stacking unit 44 are stored in the corresponding storage unit 54 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 mounted in the storage unit 54.

  With the above-described flow, it is possible to realize a control in which bills scheduled to be reused as change reserves are loaded into the cassette 1 and bills scheduled to be collected as sales proceeds are loaded into the cassette 2.

  The same applies to coins. First, (Step S201) and (Step S202) are performed, and then the following flow continues.

  (Step S231) A coin is inserted into the coin insertion unit 110.

  (Step S232) Each inserted coin is identified by the coin identifying unit 120.

  (Step S233) If the identified coin is a reject coin according to the classification condition (1) by the coin transport classification mechanism 130, it is transported to the first coin accumulating unit 141 (coin reject unit) and reused as a change reserve. If it is a target coin, it is transported to the second coin stacking unit 142 (one coin temporary holding unit), and if it is a coin to be collected as sales, the third coin stacking unit 143 (the other coin temporary holding unit) Part).

  (Step S234) Transported to the first coin stacking unit 141 (coin reject unit), the second coin stacking unit 142 (one coin temporary holding unit) or the third coin stacking unit 143 (the other coin temporary holding unit) Each coin that has been collected is temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S215) The coins accumulated in the second coin accumulating unit 142 are accommodated in the corresponding coin accommodating unit 152 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 attached to the coin storage unit 152. Similarly, the coins accumulated in the third coin accumulation unit 143 are accommodated in the corresponding coin storage unit 153 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 attached to the coin storage unit 153.

  According to the flow as described above, it is possible to realize a control in which coins scheduled to be reused as change reserves are loaded into the cassette 1 and coins scheduled to be collected as sales proceeds are loaded into the cassette 2.

  Next, the second half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (2) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the collection status corresponding to the classification condition (2).

  (Step S <b> 261) The IC card of the operator who is to perform the collection operation is read via the IC card reader 71.

  (Step S262) When it is determined that the IC card read via the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by an operator belonging to the store, the lock control unit 65 is moved to the storage unit 53 and the coin storage unit 152. The corresponding lock mechanisms 63 and 162 and the lock mechanism 165 of the entire lower unit are released.

  (Step S263) When the lock control unit 65 releases the lock mechanism 165, the storage units 53, 54 and the coin storage units 152, 153 can be pulled out to the front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S264) In this state, the operator who wants to perform the recovery operation pulls out the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and the lock mechanisms 63 and 162 are released. The cassette is collected from the storage unit 53 and the coin storage unit 152, and an empty cassette is mounted instead.

  (Step S265) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanisms 63 and 162 are locked again.

  With the flow as described above, it is possible to reliably realize collection of banknotes and coins that are reused as change reserves only by operators belonging to the store.

  On the other hand, collection of banknotes and coins as sales proceeds is performed according to the following flow. First (step S261) is performed, and then the following flow continues.

  (Step S272) When it is determined that the IC card read through the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by an operator belonging to the security dealer, the lock control unit 65 performs the storage 54 and the coin storage 153. The lock mechanisms 64 and 163 corresponding to the above and the lock mechanism 165 of the entire lower unit are released.

  (Step S273) When the lock control unit 65 releases the lock mechanism 165, the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 can be pulled out to the front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S274) In this state, the operator who wants to perform the recovery operation pulls out the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and the lock mechanisms 64 and 163 are released. The cassette is collected from the storage unit 54 and the coin storage unit 153, and an empty cassette is mounted instead.

  (Step S275) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanisms 64 and 163 are locked again.

  With the flow as described above, it is possible to reliably realize collection of banknotes and coins stored as sales proceeds only by an operator belonging to the police carrier.

  According to the above-described aspect, the recovered banknote or the recovered coin can be recovered by the policeman, while the change reserve can be recovered by the store, and the efficiency of the recovery operation is remarkably improved. .

  In the above aspect, it is possible to perform a collection operation without releasing the lock mechanism 165 of the entire lower unit. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the collection operation may be performed by taking out only the storage portion 53 without pulling out the entire lower unit. In this case, only the lock mechanism 63 corresponding to the storage portion 53 is released, and the other lock mechanisms 64, 162, 163, and 165 maintain the locked state.

  Next, the classification conditions (3) and (4) when processing only gift certificates will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, in these classification conditions (3) and (4), the insertion of banknotes and coins is not assumed, and gift certificates are classified and stored for each type.

  Specifically, under the classification condition (3), the company-issued gift certificate A is transported to the third stacking unit 43 corresponding to the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53, and another storage unit 54. The gift certificates B, C (, D,...) Issued by other companies (for example, credit companies) are conveyed to the fourth stacking unit 44 corresponding to the cassette 2 attached to.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, for the gift certificate A issued by the company, the invalidation process by the erasing unit 75 is performed in the middle of conveyance, and gift certificates B, C (, D...) Issued by other companies. Is not performed by the eraser 75. In the classification condition (3), the identification unit 20 also determines whether each gift certificate is within the expiration date by using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and the gift certificate that is not within the expiration date (invalid The gift certificate is identified as a reject gift certificate.

  The paper sheet identified as the reject gift certificate by the identifying unit 20 is sent to the reject unit which is the first stacking unit 41. In the classification condition (3), the stacker unit that is the second stacking unit 42 is not used, but a mode of stacking the types of gift certificates in the second stacking unit 42 can also be adopted.

  Next, the first half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (3) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an accumulation state corresponding to the classification condition (3).

  (Step S301) The classification condition (3) is stored in the storage unit 80 in advance.

  (Step S302) In addition, the collection condition corresponding to the classification condition (3) is stored in the storage unit 80 in advance. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that all gift certificates are collected as sales proceeds by the policeman, and the collection condition is that the policer permits the collection of the gift certificate accommodated therein. . Specifically, the collection condition is that an IC card held by an operator belonging to a security dealer is read via the IC card reader 71. (When this collection condition is satisfied, the lock control unit 65 releases all the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, 163, 165.)

  (Step S303) In addition, a gift certificate processing mode for processing gift certificates as paper sheets is selected in advance as a processing mode corresponding to the classification condition (3), and the information is stored in the storage unit 80.

  (Step S304) The storage unit 80 also stores in advance the association that the invalidation process has been performed on the gift certificate A, and further stores the contents of the invalidation process for the gift certificate A (print contents and print position). Is done.

  (Step S311) In the above state, the gift certificate is inserted into the insertion unit 10.

  (Step S312) Each of the inserted gift certificates is identified by the identifying unit 20. At this time, according to the gift certificate processing mode, the conveyance speed of the gift certificate is controlled to 1200 mm / sec, and the reading speed of the gift certificate by the identification unit 20 is 5 to 7 sheets / sec. The identification unit 20 also determines whether or not each gift certificate is within the expiration date using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and identifies a gift certificate that is not within the expiration date (invalid gift certificate) as a reject gift certificate. .

  (Step S313) If the identified gift certificate is a reject gift certificate according to the classification condition (3) by the transport classification mechanism 30, it is conveyed to the first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet reject unit), and the product issued by the company If it is a ticket A, it will be conveyed to the 3rd stacking part 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage part), and if it is gift certificate B, C (, D ...) of other companies, the 4th stacking part 44 ( It is conveyed to the other paper sheet temporary storage section). At this time, according to the gift certificate processing mode, the conveyance speed of the gift certificate is controlled to 1200 mm / sec. Moreover, about the gift certificate A, the invalidation process by the erasure | elimination part 75 is implemented in the middle of conveyance. The contents of the invalidation process (print contents and print position) are performed as previously stored in the storage unit 80 for the gift certificate A.

  (Step S314) The first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet rejecting unit), the third stacking unit 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage unit) or the fourth stacking unit 44 (the other paper sheet temporary storage unit) Each gift certificate conveyed to) is temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S315) The gift certificates accumulated in the third accumulation unit 43 are accommodated in the corresponding accommodation units 53 at an appropriate timing (generally after approval by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53. Similarly, the gift certificates stacked in the fourth stacking unit 44 are stored in the corresponding storage unit 54 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 mounted in the storage unit 54.

  With the flow as described above, it is possible to realize a control in which gift certificates to be collected as sales proceeds are loaded into the cassettes 1 and 2 for each type. In addition, when the gift certificate A that should be immediately invalidated and gift certificates B, C (, D,...) That are not so are mixed, the invalidation process is automatically and suitably implemented. can do.

  Next, the second half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (3) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the collection status corresponding to the classification condition (3).

  (Step S361) The IC card of the operator who is going to carry out the collection work is read via the IC card reader 71.

  (Step S362) When it is determined that the IC card read via the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by an operator belonging to the security dealer, the lock control unit 65 makes all the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, 163, and 165 are released.

  (Step S363) When the lock control unit 65 releases the lock mechanism 165, the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 can be pulled out to the front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S364) In this state, the operator who wants to perform the collection operation pulls out the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and the lock mechanisms 63 and 64 are released. Cassettes are collected from the storage units 53 and 54, and empty cassettes are installed instead.

  (Step S365) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, and 163 are locked again. The

  According to the flow as described above, it is possible to reliably realize the collection of the gift certificate stored only by the operator belonging to the police carrier.

  Next, details of the classification condition (4) that can be used instead of the classification condition (3) will be described. In the classification condition (4), as shown in FIG. 9, the gift certificate to be collected at the store is immediately transported to the third stacking unit 43 corresponding to the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53. The gift certificate to be collected is transferred to the fourth stacking unit 44 corresponding to the cassette 2 mounted in one storage unit 54 at another management center or the like as sales.

  Here, as with the classification condition (3), for the gift certificate A issued in-house, the invalidation process is performed by the erasure unit 75 in the middle of transportation, and gift certificates B, C (, D,. For ()), the invalidation process by the erasure unit 75 is not performed. Further, the identification unit 20 also determines whether each gift certificate is within the expiration date using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and rejects gift certificates that are not within the expiration date (invalid gift certificates). Identify.

  The paper sheets identified as reject banknotes by the identifying unit 20 are sent to the paper sheet rejecting unit which is the first stacking unit 41. Even in the classification condition (4), the paper sheet stacker unit which is the second stacking unit 42 is not used.

  The first half of the flow of money processing based on the classification condition (4) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 can also be seen as a diagram showing the accumulation status corresponding to the classification condition (4).

  (Step S401) The classification condition (4) described above is stored in the storage unit 80 in advance.

  (Step S402) Moreover, the collection conditions corresponding to the classification condition (4) are stored in the storage unit 80 in advance. The collection condition of the present embodiment is a condition that the store in which the money handling apparatus 100 is installed permits the collection for the storage unit 53, and for the other storage unit 54, It is a condition that a policeman permits collection. Specifically, for the storage unit 53, the collection condition is that the IC card held by the operator belonging to the store is read via the IC card reader 71. Therefore, the collection condition is that the IC card held by the operator belonging to the security dealer is read via the IC card reader 71. (When each collection condition is satisfied, the lock control unit 65 releases the corresponding lock mechanism 63 or the lock mechanism 64.)

  (Step S403) Further, as a processing mode corresponding to the classification condition (4), a gift certificate processing mode for processing a gift certificate as a paper sheet is selected in advance, and the information is stored in the storage unit 80.

  (Step S404) In addition, the storage unit 80 stores in advance the association that the invalidation process has been performed on the gift certificate A, and further the contents (print content and print position) of the invalidation process for the gift certificate A. Is done.

  (Step S411) In the above state, the gift certificate is inserted into the insertion unit 10.

  (Step S412) Each of the inserted gift certificates is identified by the identifying unit 20. At this time, according to the gift certificate processing mode, the conveyance speed of the gift certificate is controlled to 1200 mm / sec, and the reading speed of the gift certificate by the identification unit 20 is 5 to 7 sheets / sec. The identification unit 20 also determines whether or not each gift certificate is within the expiration date using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and identifies a gift certificate that is not within the expiration date (invalid gift certificate) as a reject gift certificate. .

  (Step S413) If the identified gift certificate is a reject gift certificate according to the classification condition (4) by the transport classification mechanism 30, it is conveyed to the first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet reject unit), and the product issued by the company If it is a ticket A, it will be conveyed to the 3rd stacking part 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage part), and if it is gift certificate B, C (, D ...) of other companies, the 4th stacking part 44 ( It is conveyed to the other paper sheet temporary storage section). At this time, according to the gift certificate processing mode, the conveyance speed of the gift certificate is controlled to 1200 mm / sec. The gift certificate transport speed is not as fast as the banknote transport speed. This is based on the restriction of the conveyance motor corresponding to the difference in the identification speed between the gift certificate and the bill and the difference in size or thickness between the gift certificate and the bill. Moreover, about the gift certificate A, the invalidation process by the erasure | elimination part 75 is implemented in the middle of conveyance. The contents of the invalidation process (print contents and print position) are performed as previously stored in the storage unit 80 for the gift certificate A.

  (Step S414) The first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet rejecting unit), the third stacking unit 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage unit) or the fourth stacking unit 44 (the other paper sheet temporary storage unit) Each gift certificate conveyed to) is temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S415) The gift certificates stacked in the third stacking unit 43 are stored in the corresponding storage unit 53 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53. Similarly, the gift certificates stacked in the fourth stacking unit 44 are stored in the corresponding storage unit 54 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 mounted in the storage unit 54.

  By the flow as described above, realizing that the gift certificate to be collected immediately at the store and the gift certificate to be collected at another management center or the like are classified and loaded into cassettes 1 and 2. Can do. Further, it is possible to realize a control that the invalidation process is performed only on the gift certificate A scheduled to be collected at the store.

  Next, the second half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (4) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the collection status corresponding to the classification condition (4).

  (Step S461) The IC card of the operator who is to perform the collection work is read via the IC card reader 71.

  (Step S462) When it is determined that the IC card read via the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by the operator belonging to the store, the lock control unit 65 corresponds to the storage unit 53. Is released.

  (Step S463) On condition that the lock control unit 65 has released the lock mechanism 63 corresponding to the storage unit 53, the entire lock mechanism 165 of the storage units 53, 54 and the coin storage units 152, 153 is released, The storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 can be pulled out to the front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S464) In this state, the operator who wants to perform the collection operation pulls out the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and the storage unit in which the lock mechanism 63 is released. Collect the cassette from 53 and install an empty cassette instead.

  (Step S465) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanism 63 corresponding to the storage unit 53 are locked again. The

  With the above flow, it is possible to reliably realize that the gift certificate to be collected immediately at the store is collected only by the operator belonging to the store.

  On the other hand, collection of gift certificates scheduled to be collected at another management center or the like is performed according to the following flow. First (step S461) is performed, and then the following flow continues.

  (Step S472) When it is determined that the IC card read through the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by an operator belonging to the security dealer, the lock control unit 65 corresponds to the storage unit 54. Release 64.

  (Step S473) On condition that the lock control unit 65 has released the lock mechanism 64 corresponding to the storage unit 54, the entire lock mechanism 165 of the storage units 53, 54 and the coin storage units 152, 153 is released. The storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 can be pulled out to the front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S474) In this state, the operator who wishes to perform the collection operation pulls out the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and the storage unit in which the lock mechanism 64 is released. Collect the cassette from 54 and install an empty cassette instead.

  (Step S475) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanism 64 corresponding to the storage unit 54 are locked again. The

  According to the flow as described above, it is possible to reliably realize collection of gift certificates to be collected at another management center or the like only by an operator belonging to the police carrier.

  According to the above-described aspect, the gift certificate to be collected at another management center can be collected by a policeman, while the gift certificate to be collected immediately at the store is collected by the store (own store) Processing) and the efficiency of the collection work is significantly improved.

  Next, classification conditions (5) and (6) for processing banknotes, coins, and gift certificates will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, in these classification conditions (5) and (6), it is assumed that bills, coins, and gift certificates are mixedly inserted.

  Specifically, under the classification condition (5), the gift certificate to be collected as sales proceeds is conveyed to the third stacking unit 43 corresponding to the cassette 1 attached to the storage unit 53, and another storage is performed. The banknotes to be collected as sales proceeds are conveyed to the fourth stacking unit 44 corresponding to the cassette 2 attached to the unit 54.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 13, the gift certificate is subjected to invalidation processing by the eraser 75 in the middle of conveyance. However, in the classification condition (5), the identification unit 20 determines whether each gift certificate is within the expiration date by using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and the gift certificate that is not within the expiration date (invalid The gift certificate is identified as a reject gift certificate.

  The paper sheets identified as reject banknotes or reject gift certificates by the identifying unit 20 are sent to the paper sheet reject unit which is the first stacking unit 41. In the classification condition (1), the paper stacker unit, which is the second stacking unit 42, is not used, but it is also possible to adopt a mode in which the types of gift certificates in the second stacking unit 42 are classified and stacked.

  As for the coins, similar to the classification condition (1), the coins to be collected as sales proceeds are transported to the second coin accumulating unit 142 corresponding to the cassette 1 attached to the coin storing unit 152, and the coin storing unit When the cassette 1 attached to 152 becomes full, the coins scheduled to be collected as sales are conveyed to the third coin accumulation part 143 corresponding to the cassette 2 attached to the other coin storage part 153. Go. The coin identified as the reject coin by the identification unit 20 is sent to a coin reject unit which is the first stacking unit 141.

  The first half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (5) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an accumulation state corresponding to the classification condition (5).

  (Step S501) The classification condition (5) is stored in the storage unit 80 in advance.

  (Step S502) Moreover, the collection conditions corresponding to the classification condition (5) are stored in the storage unit 80 in advance. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that all gift certificates / banknotes / coins are collected as sales proceeds by a policeman, and the collection condition permits collection of gift certificates / banknotes / coins in which the policer is accommodated. It is a condition that it is. Specifically, the collection condition is that an IC card held by an operator belonging to a security dealer is read via the IC card reader 71. (When this collection condition is satisfied, the lock control unit 65 releases all the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, 163, 165.)

  (Step S503) In addition, as the processing mode corresponding to the classification condition (5), a mixed processing mode for processing banknotes and gift certificates as paper sheets is selected in advance, and the information is stored in the storage unit 80.

  (Step S504) In addition, the storage unit 80 stores in advance the association that the invalidation process has been performed on the gift certificate, and also the contents (print content and print position) of the invalidation process for the gift certificate. .

  (Step S <b> 511) In the above state, the paper sheet is input into the input unit 10.

  (Step S512) Each input paper sheet is identified by the identifying unit 20. At this time, according to the mixed processing mode, the sheet conveyance speed is controlled to 1200 mm / sec, and the bill reading speed by the identification unit 20 is 5 to 7 sheets / sec. The identification unit 20 also determines whether or not each gift certificate is within the expiration date using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and identifies a gift certificate that is not within the expiration date (invalid gift certificate) as a reject gift certificate. .

  (Step S513) If the identified paper sheets are rejected banknotes according to the classification condition (5) by the transport classification mechanism 30, they are transported to the first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet rejecting section) and can be gift certificates. If it is a banknote, it will be conveyed to the 4th stacking part 44 (the other paper sheet temporary storage part). At this time, according to the mixed processing mode, the conveyance speed of the paper sheet is controlled to 1200 mm / sec. Moreover, about the gift certificate, the invalidation process by the eraser 75 is performed in the middle of conveyance. The contents of the invalidation process (print contents and print position) are performed as previously stored in the storage unit 80 for the gift certificate.

  (Step S514) The first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet rejecting unit), the third stacking unit 43 (one paper sheet temporary storage unit) or the fourth stacking unit 44 (the other paper sheet temporary storage unit) Each paper sheet conveyed to) is temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S515) The gift certificates stacked in the third stacking unit 43 are stored in the corresponding storage unit 53 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53. Moreover, the banknotes accumulated in the fourth accumulation unit 44 are accommodated in the corresponding accommodation units 54 at an appropriate timing (generally after approval by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 mounted in the storage unit 54.

  According to the flow as described above, it is possible to realize the control that the gift certificate to be collected as sales proceeds is loaded in the cassette 1 and the banknotes to be collected as sales proceeds are loaded into the cassette 2. That is, when the banknotes and the gift certificate are mixed using the plurality of paper sheet storage units 53 and 54, the banknote and the gift certificate can be stored separately. . In particular, according to the transport classification mechanism 30 of the money handling apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, no mechanical adjustment is required between the transport of gift certificates and the transport of banknotes. Specifically, the gate part of the transport classification mechanism 30 of the present embodiment is a contact type and can absorb the difference in the thickness of the paper sheets.

  As a modification, it is also possible to store banknotes by denomination or store gift certificates by type instead of banknote / gift certificate sorting.

  For coins, first (step S501) and (step S502) are performed, and then the following flow continues.

  (Step S531) A coin is inserted into the coin insertion unit 110.

  (Step S532) Each of the inserted coins is identified by the coin identifying unit 120.

  (Step S533) If the identified coin is a reject coin according to the classification condition (5) by the coin transport classification mechanism 130, it is transported to the first coin stacking unit 141 (coin reject unit), and if it is a normal coin, the first coin is transported. 2 coin accumulation part 142 (one coin temporary storage part).

  (Step S534) Each coin transported to the first coin stacking unit 141 (coin reject unit) or the second coin stacking unit 142 (one coin temporary holding unit) is temporarily stacked there.

  (Step S535) The coins accumulated in the second coin accumulating unit 142 are accommodated in the corresponding coin accommodating unit 152 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 1 attached to the coin storage unit 152.

  (Step S540) When a predetermined number of normal coins are expected to be stored in the cassette 1 by counting the identification results by the coin identifying unit 120, the control mode by the coin transport classification mechanism 130 according to the classification condition (5). Is changed. Specifically, in the coin control unit 136, when the identified coin is a normal coin, the transport control to the second coin stacking unit 142 until then is the transport control to the third coin stacking unit 143. Can be switched to.

  (Steps S541, S542) After the transfer control is switched, each of the coins inserted into the coin insertion unit 110 is similarly identified by the coin identification unit 120.

  (Step S543) If the identified coin is a reject coin according to the classification condition (5) by the coin transport classification mechanism 130, it is transported to the first coin accumulating unit 141 (coin reject unit), and if it is a normal coin, This time, it is conveyed to the third coin accumulating unit 143 (one coin temporary holding unit).

  (Step S544) Each coin conveyed to the first coin accumulating unit 141 (coin reject unit) or the third coin accumulating unit 142 (one coin temporary holding unit) is temporarily accumulated there.

  (Step S545) The coins accumulated in the third accumulation unit 143 are accommodated in the corresponding coin storage unit 153 at an appropriate timing (generally after being approved by the operator). That is, it is stored in the cassette 2 attached to the coin storage unit 153.

  According to the above flow, coins to be collected as sales are first loaded into the cassette 1 mounted in the coin storage unit 152, and after the cassette 1 becomes full, another coin storage unit. It is possible to realize the control of loading into the cassette 2 mounted on 153.

  And the collection | recovery of the cassette 1 is performed by the collection | recovery operation | work mentioned later, and after that, after the cassette 2 becomes a full state, the control that a normal banknote is conveyed by the newly mounted cassette 1 is implement | achieved. be able to.

  Next, the second half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (5) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the collection status corresponding to the classification condition (5).

  (Step S561) The IC card of the operator who is going to perform the collection work is read via the IC card reader 71.

  (Step S562) When it is determined that the IC card read via the IC card reader 71 is an IC card held by an operator belonging to the security dealer, the lock control unit 65 makes all the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, 163, and 165 are released.

  (Step S563) When the lock control unit 65 releases the lock mechanism 165, the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 can be pulled out to the front of the money handling apparatus 100.

  (Step S564) In this state, the operator who intends to perform the collection operation pulls out the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 to the front of the money handling apparatus 100, and locks 63, 64, 162, and 163. The cassettes are collected from the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 that have been released, and an empty cassette is mounted instead. Of course, if the cassette still has enough free space, it is possible to adopt the option of not replacing the cassette with an empty cassette at the discretion of the operator.

  (Step S565) When the storage units 53 and 54 and the coin storage units 152 and 153 are returned from the front of the money handling apparatus 100, the entire lock mechanism 165 and the lock mechanisms 63, 64, 162, and 163 are locked again. The

  (Step S566) When the information of the exchanged cassette is input via the display / operation unit 72, for example, the count information of the number of stored bills / coins / gift certificates is appropriately corrected based on the information. Specifically, when banknotes / coins / gift certificates are already temporarily accumulated in the corresponding stacking unit (temporary holding unit), the count value from the banknote / coin / gift certificate is corrected and When banknotes / coins / gift certificates are not yet collected in the stacking unit (temporary holding unit), the correction is made to zero.

  With the above-described flow, it is possible to reliably realize collection of gift certificates, banknotes, and coins stored only by an operator belonging to the police carrier.

  Next, details of the classification condition (6) that can be used instead of the classification condition (5) will be described. In the classification condition (6), as shown in FIG. 13, the gift certificate to be collected is immediately transported to the third stacking unit 43 corresponding to the cassette 1 mounted in the storage unit 53 at the store. The bills to be collected as sales are conveyed to the fourth stacking unit 44 corresponding to the cassette 2 mounted in the other storage unit 54.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 13, the gift certificate is subjected to invalidation processing by the eraser 75 in the middle of conveyance. However, even in the classification condition (6), the identification unit 20 determines whether each gift certificate is within the expiration date by using the calendar function of the money management apparatus 100, and the gift certificate that is not within the expiration date (invalid The gift certificate is identified as a reject gift certificate.

  The paper sheets identified as reject banknotes or reject gift certificates by the identifying unit 20 are sent to the paper sheet reject unit which is the first stacking unit 41. In the classification condition (6), the paper stacker unit, which is the second stacking unit 42, is not used, but it is possible to adopt a mode in which the types of gift certificates in the second stacking unit 42 are classified and stacked.

  As for the coins, like the classification conditions (1) and (5), the coins scheduled to be collected as sales proceeds are conveyed to the second coin accumulating unit 142 corresponding to the cassette 1 attached to the coin storage unit 152. When the cassette 1 attached to the coin storage unit 152 becomes full, the third coin accumulation unit 143 corresponding to the cassette 2 attached to the other coin storage unit 153 receives the coins to be collected as sales. Will be transported. The coin identified as the reject coin by the identification unit 20 is sent to a coin reject unit which is the first stacking unit 141.

  The first half of the money processing flow based on the classification condition (6) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 can also be seen as a diagram showing the accumulation status corresponding to the classification condition (6).

  With the flow as described above, it is possible to reliably realize collection of banknotes and coins stored as sales proceeds only by an operator belonging to the police carrier.

  According to the above aspect, the recovery bills or coins can be collected by the policeman, while the gift certificates collected at the store can be collected by the store, and the efficiency of the collection operation is remarkable. To be improved.

  FIG. 17 collectively shows a collection pattern example (collection authority setting pattern example) of the money handling apparatus of FIG.

  When banknotes and gift certificates are mixed and are classified and classified, it is convenient if the counting results based on the identification results are displayed separately. An example of such a display is shown in FIG.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the gift certificate is identified and stored, the invalidation processing of the gift certificate can be performed using the eraser 75. In this case, since the eraser 75 of the present embodiment can handle both the upper and lower surfaces of the gift certificate being transported, the front and back of the gift certificate to be inserted is not questioned, but the gift certificate being transported If only one of the upper and lower surfaces can be handled, the gift certificate inserted in a manner in which the front and back sides do not properly correspond is temporarily rejected as a reject gift certificate. That is, when the eraser 75 performs the invalidation process only on a predetermined surface (for example, the surface) of the gift certificate that is the target of the invalidation process, the identification unit 20 It is necessary to identify whether it is the back side or the front side, and the gift certificate whose reverse side has been identified for invalidation processing is transported to the first stacking unit 41 (paper sheet reject unit) by the classification transport mechanism 30 Is done.

  In the present embodiment, since the eraser 75 has an inkjet printer (a configuration that employs a printing method), as invalidation processing, in addition to printing invalid marks (x marks and lines), a processing date Or the machine number of the money management apparatus 100 may be printed.

  Further, the eraser 75 is not limited to a configuration that employs a printing method, and may be one that performs an invalidation process using a hole punching mechanism, or one that performs an invalidation process using a mechanism for cutting. Even when a punching mechanism or a cutting mechanism is employed, the eraser 75 performs the invalidation process only on a predetermined surface (for example, the surface) in relation to the drilling position or the cutting position. It may be.

  The money handling apparatus 100 according to the above embodiment includes the two paper storage units 53 and 54 and the two coin storage units 152 and 153. Also good. In this case, the number of classification patterns increases, and a wide variety of classification conditions can be set. Specifically, for example, banknotes and coins can be stored for each denomination, and gift certificates can be classified more finely.

  Steps for storing classification conditions, collection conditions, and processing mode selection results in the storage unit 80 (S101, S102, S103, S201, S202, S203, S301, S302, S303, S401, S402, S403, S501, S502, S503, S601) , S602, S603) may be performed in a factory before the money handling apparatus 100 is installed, or may be implemented via the display / operation unit 72 when the money handling apparatus 100 is installed. / F95 may be implemented by an external device (such as a management device). For example, it may be implemented by reading the barcode information of the receipt on which the barcode information related to the sales proceeds is printed by a barcode reader that can be connected via the external I / F 95, It may be implemented by reading the data of the IC chip in which the data relating to the sales proceeds is stored by an IC reader that can be connected via the IC reader.

  Further, the classification condition, the collection condition, and the processing mode are determined or selected based on the cassette information stored in the cassette information storage unit provided in each cassette mounted in the storage units 53 and 54 or the coin storage units 152 and 153. And may be stored in the storage unit 80. The cassette information storage unit is, for example, an IC tag, and the cassette information stored in the IC tag can be read by an IC tag reader. The cassette information storage unit may be formed as an identification switch unit, and the cassette information expressed in the identification switch unit may be identified by a photo sensor.

  Here, the cassette information is a distinction of storage objects stored in the cassette (sales banknote, change reserve banknote, store recovery gift certificate, other company recovery gift certificate,...) For example, a distinction between operators that can be accessed (operator belonging to a store / operator belonging to a security company).

  If the money handling apparatus 100 adopts a configuration in which the information stored in the cassette information storage unit is read as described above, it is possible to detect a cassette mounting failure (forgetting mounting). In this case, such warning display can be performed via the display / operation unit 72 or the like. Further, in order to operate the money handling apparatus 100 in such a manner that the cassette is not required to be installed in the storage unit or the coin storage unit, a display for requesting such confirmation input may be performed. For example, a plurality of types of storage objects may be mixed and stored in one cassette according to an operator's instruction. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the display indicating “degenerate operation with one cassette” is performed.

  In addition, the money handling apparatus 100 according to the embodiment includes a banknote processing mode for processing banknotes as paper sheets, a gift certificate processing mode for processing gift certificates as paper sheets, and banknotes and gift certificates as paper sheets. One of the three processing modes, the mixed processing mode to be processed, is selected, but the banknote processing mode for processing banknotes as paper sheets and the gift certificate for processing gift certificates as paper sheets Only two processing modes, the processing mode, may be prepared and one of them may be selected, a banknote processing mode for processing banknotes as paper sheets, and banknotes and paper sheets Only two processing modes, that is, a mixed processing mode for processing gift certificates, may be prepared and any one of them may be selected.

  When one of the two processing modes of the banknote processing mode and the gift certificate processing mode is selected, the first paper sheet to be deposited or the deposit processing schedule to be inserted for mode selection prior to the deposit processing May be selected based on the result of identification by the identification unit 20. That is, if the identification result by the identification unit 20 is “banknote”, the banknote processing mode may be selected, and if it is “gift certificate”, the gift certificate processing mode may be selected. If the identification result by the identification unit 20 is “reject paper sheet”, the selection may be made based on the identification result of the next paper sheet. As the transport speed at this time, the slower speed (1200 mm / sec is used.

  When one of the two processing modes, the banknote processing mode and the mixed processing mode, is selected, about 10 sheets of the first paper sheet to be deposited are input or the mode is selected prior to deposit processing. Then, about 10 sheets to be deposited may be input into the input unit 10 and selection may be made based on the identification result by the identification unit 20. That is, the banknote processing mode may be selected if the identification result by the identification unit 20 is only “banknote”, and the mixed processing mode may be selected if “gift certificate” is included. As the transport speed at this time, the slower speed (1200 mm / sec is used.

  In the banknote processing mode, the gift certificate is rejected, and in the gift certificate processing mode, the banknote is rejected. As a result of starting processing of paper sheets based on the selected processing mode, when a predetermined number of sheets (for example, about 5 sheets) are continuously rejected (the identification result by the identification unit 20 is rejected paper sheet) If it is similar, the processing mode may be selected incorrectly. In such a case, it is preferable to temporarily stop the processing and display a screen for prompting confirmation of the processing mode on the touch panel 90.

  In the display screen as shown in FIG. 15, in the banknote processing mode, the display portion related to the gift certificate may be shaded or not displayed. Similarly, in the gift certificate processing mode, the display portion related to the gift certificate may be shaded or hidden.

  In the above-described embodiment, the sheet speed in the identification unit 20 and the conveyance classification mechanism 30 is controlled based on the processing mode, but in addition to or in place of this. The mode of identification control by the identification unit 20 may be switched. For example, the image processing method used for identification may be switched.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, each component can be deform | transformed and actualized. Moreover, various money processing apparatuses can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment. Alternatively, some constituent elements may be deleted from all the constituent elements shown in the embodiment.
