The main control unit 151 determines whether the image acquired in step S160 depends on whether or not the optical feature information in the image recognized in step S160 matches the optical feature in the image captured in advance with the batch card BC. It is determined whether or not is a batch card BC. A match includes a partial match in addition to a complete match. When it is determined that the image acquired in step S160 is the batch card BC, the main control unit 151 reads the batch card number from the image acquired in step S160 (step S164). The main control unit 151 controls the transport control unit 152 to transport the batch card BC whose batch card number is read in step S164 to the reject stacking unit 127 (step S166).

  When it is determined that the image acquired in step S160 is not the batch card BC, the main control unit 151 reads the paper sheet number from the image acquired in step S160 (step S168). Next, the main control unit 151 determines whether or not the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S160 is a valid paper sheet P (step S170). The main control unit 151 determines whether the image acquired in step S160 is valid depending on whether or not the optical feature information in the image matches the optical feature of the genuine note stored in advance in the storage area of the device itself. Determine whether or not. Further, the main control unit 151 determines whether the sheet type of the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S <b> 160, the degree of contamination, whether or not a plurality of paper sheets P are stacked and taken out, and the like.

  Next, the main control unit 151 controls the gates 121 to 124 based on the determination result in step S170, and collects the paper sheets P determined to be valid in step S170, such as the stacking and binding unit 132, the cutting unit 133, and the like. (Step S172). The main control unit 151 controls the gates 120 to 125 so as to convey the rejected ticket to the reject stacking unit 127 when the paper sheet P is detected to be overlapped by the thickness inspection unit 119.

  Next, the main control unit 151 determines whether or not there is the next paper sheet P taken in from the bundle input unit 105 in step S100 (step S174). If it is determined in step S174 that there is a next sheet P, the process returns to step S158. If it is determined in step S174 that there is no next paper sheet P, the main control unit 151 closes the processing of the paper sheet bundle SB that issued the strap number in step S154 (step S176), and the paper sheet collating device. The processing results from step S150 to step S176 described above and information used for the processing are transmitted to 300 (step S178), and the processing by the main body processing apparatus 100 is closed (step S180). Thereby, the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.

[Scrutinizing device 200]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the scrutinizing device 200. The scrutinizing device 200 includes a stacked ticket inserting unit 212 and an operation display unit 237 outside the device. Further, the scrutinizing apparatus 200 includes a single sheet take-out unit 213, a take-in roller 214, a conveyance path 215, an inspection unit 216, stacking units 228 to 231, a cutting unit 233, and an exclusion stacking unit 234. The scrutinizing apparatus 200 includes a main control unit 251. The main control unit 251 controls the operation of each unit of the scrutinizing device 200 in an integrated manner.

  The stacked ticket input unit 212, the single sheet take-out unit 213, the take-in roller 214, and the conveyance path 215 are the same as the laminated ticket supply unit 112, the single-sheet take-out unit 113, the suction roller 114, and the conveyance path 115 of the main body processing apparatus 100, respectively. It is the composition. The stacked ticket inserting unit 212 receives the supplied exclusion ticket.

  The single sheet take-out unit 213 is provided on the top of the stacked ticket insertion unit 212. The single sheet take-out unit 213 includes a take-in roller 214. The take-in roller 214 takes in the paper sheets P set in the laminated ticket inserting unit 212 one by one into the apparatus. The paper sheet P taken in by the take-in roller 214 is introduced into the transport path 215.

  The conveyance path 215 conveys the paper sheet P to each part in the scrutinizing apparatus 200. The conveyance path 215 includes a conveyance belt and a drive pulley that are not shown. The conveyance path 215 operates the conveyance belt by a drive motor and a drive pulley (not shown). The conveyance path 215 conveys the paper sheet P taken in by the take-in roller 214 at a constant speed by the conveyance belt. In addition, the side close to the single sheet take-out part 213 in the conveyance path 215 will be described as an upstream side, and the side close to the cutting part 233 will be described as a downstream side. The conveyance path 215 of the inspection apparatus 200 conveys the paper sheet P at a slower speed than the conveyance path 115 of the main body processing apparatus 100.

  An inspection unit 216 is provided on the conveyance path 215 extending from the single sheet take-out unit 213. The inspection unit 216 includes an image reading device (not shown), a magnetic detection device, a thickness inspection unit, and the like. The inspection unit 216 detects optical feature information, mechanical feature, and magnetic feature information of the paper sheet P. As a result, the scrutinizing device 200 detects the type (ticket type) of the paper sheet P, the degree of contamination, the authenticity, and the like.

  The image reading apparatuses are provided in pairs so as to face each other with the conveyance path 215 interposed therebetween. The image reading device reads images on both sides of the paper sheet P conveyed through the conveyance path 215. Each of the pair of image reading apparatuses includes an image sensor. The scrutinizing device 200 acquires the pattern images of the front and back surfaces of the paper sheet P based on the image captured by the image reading device. Further, the image reading apparatus acquires an image of identification information printed on the batch card BC, and transmits the acquired image to the main control unit 251.

  The image reading apparatus temporarily stores the read image in a memory (not shown) in the inspection unit 216. The scrutinizing device 200 can display the image stored in the memory on the operation display unit 237 according to the operation input.

  The thickness inspection unit inspects the thickness of the paper sheet P conveyed through the conveyance path 215. For example, when the detected thickness is equal to or greater than a specified value, the scrutinizing device 200 detects two sheets of the paper sheet P. The magnetic detection device (magnetic sensor) detects magnetic feature information of the paper sheet P. The operation display unit 237 displays various operation guides and processing results for the operator. Note that the operation display unit 237 may be configured as a touch panel. In this case, the scrutinizing apparatus 200 detects various operation inputs based on the buttons displayed on the operation display unit 237 and the operations performed on the operation display unit 237 by the operator.

  The main control unit 251 performs various determinations based on detection results (that is, an image, magnetism, thickness, and the like detected from the paper sheet P) detected by each detector of the inspection unit 216. The main control unit 251 determines the type, authenticity, and damage of the paper sheet P.

  Similarly, the main control unit 251 cuts out the paper sheet number portion from the acquired image of the image reading apparatus, and recognizes the paper sheet number by the character recognition function. Further, the main control unit 251 determines whether or not the paper sheet P should be excluded. For example, the main control unit 251 uses paper sheets P that have been determined to be fake tickets, paper sheets P that have been detected to be overlapped by the thickness inspection unit, or paper sheets P that cannot be identified as rejection tickets. Judge that there is. In addition, the main control unit 251 detects the short pitch that is not correctly detected by each detector because the distance between the front paper sheet P and the back paper sheet P is short in the transport path. P is determined to be an exclusion ticket. Further, the main control unit 251 can recognize the batch card number based on the image of the identification information of the batch card BC acquired by the image reading device of the inspection unit 216.

  Similarly, the main control unit 251 acquires images of all processed paper sheets P, images of the paper sheets P, detection values of each inspection device, processing date and time, operator name, type of paper sheets P, paper The leaf number, batch card number, and other information are stored in association with each other.

  The scrutinizing apparatus 200 conveys the paper sheet P determined to be a correct ticket to the stacking units 228 to 231. Further, the scrutinizing apparatus 200 conveys the paper sheet P determined to be a non-performing ticket to the cutting unit 233. Depending on the operation, a ticket determined to be paper sheet P can be set to be conveyed to the cutting unit 233 regardless of whether it is a correct ticket or a damaged ticket.

  The cutting unit 233 includes a cutting machine 233a and a stacker 233b. The cutting machine 233a of the cutting unit 233 cuts the conveyed slip. The cutting unit 233 accumulates the cut paper sheets P in the stacker 233b. The stacker 233b includes a takeout port through which a piece of paper can be removed from the outside. That is, the operator can take out the paper pieces of the paper sheets P accumulated in the stacker 233b cut from the take-out port.

  The scrutinizing apparatus 200 conveys the paper sheet P determined to be an exclusion ticket to the exclusion stacking unit 234. Excluded tickets include, for example, a transport abnormality ticket such as a two-sheet pick-up ticket, a defective ticket that is broken or torn, and an indeterminate ticket such as a non-applicable ticket type or a fake ticket. Further, the scrutinizing apparatus 200 conveys the paper sheet P and the batch card BC inserted between the paper sheets P to the exclusion stacking unit 234 as an exclusion ticket. A plurality of gates (not shown) are provided on the conveyance path 215 on the downstream side of the inspection unit 216. Each of the gates is controlled by the main control unit 251. The main control unit 251 controls the operation of each gate based on the inspection result by the inspection unit 216. As a result, the main control unit 251 performs control so that the paper sheet P being conveyed through the conveyance path 215 is conveyed to a predetermined processing unit.

  In addition, the main control unit 251 transfers each gate and transport so that a rejected ticket that is determined not to be a genuine note or an uninspectable ticket that cannot be inspected by the inspection unit 216 is accumulated in the exclusion stacking unit 234. Control the road. The exclusion stacking unit 234 is configured so that the operator can take out the stacked paper sheets P.

  The main control unit 251 controls each gate and the conveyance path so that the paper sheet P determined to be a genuine note is conveyed to the stacking units 228 to 231 (generally referred to as the stacking unit 232). In addition, the main control unit 251 controls each gate and the conveyance path so that the paper sheet P determined to be a non-payment is conveyed to the cutting unit 233. Note that the main control unit 251 receives the image of the paper sheet P conveyed to the stacking unit 232 or the cutting unit 233, the counting result of the paper sheet P, the type of the paper sheet P, and the paper sheet number of the paper sheet P. All of the digits (characters) that can be read out, the batch card number, the determination result, and the like are associated with each other and stored as a reinspection result. In addition, the main control unit 251 transmits the reinspection result to the paper sheet collating apparatus 300.

  The main control unit 251 includes a memory 251a that stores in advance a threshold value (second determination threshold value) for each inspection item by each inspection device of the inspection unit 216. The main control unit 251 compares the detection value detected by each inspection device of the inspection unit 216 with the threshold value stored in the memory 251a, and based on the comparison result, the sheet type, authenticity, It is determined whether or not the damage is correct and the paper sheet P is a rejection ticket.

  Note that the second determination threshold value stored in the memory 251a may be changed based on an input to the operation display unit 237 or the like. The operator takes out the rejection ticket discharged from the main body processing apparatus 100 and supplies it to the input unit of the inspection apparatus 200. The reject ticket is discharged from the main body processing apparatus 100 in a state where the discharged paper sheet P and the batch card BC are stacked. The count of the rejected ticket and the result of the inspection are notified to the transport control unit 252 via the main control unit 251. As a result of the inspection, the rejected ticket determined to be invalidated by cutting is conveyed to the cutting unit 233 and cut. The cut out ticket is transported to the next process by means not shown such as air transport.

  On the other hand, the reexamination rejected ticket that is determined to require further reexamination as a result of the inspection is accumulated in the rejected ticket accumulating unit 234, and after the visual inspection by the reinspector, it is manually reinserted into the single sheet takeout unit 213. The When the operator confirms that all the rejection tickets of the deposit batch have been counted, expired or registered, and enters the batch processing confirmation, the examination of the deposit batch by the scrutinizing device 200 is completed, and the conveyance control unit 252 Counting information is collected. That is, the number of processed rejected tickets counted by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 and the processed data are totaled and transmitted to the paper sheet collating apparatus 300. The operator puts the batch card BC and the reject ticket of the next deposit batch into the check device 200 into the input unit, and continues the check processing.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the scrutinizing device 200. First, the batch card BC and the reject ticket supplied by the stacked ticket inserting unit 212 are received (step S200). The batch card BC and the rejection ticket are those sent to the rejection ticket accumulation by the process of step S166 in FIG. Next, the main control unit 251 controls the single sheet take-out unit 213 to take the paper sheets P received in step S200 one by one into the apparatus (step S202). Next, the main control unit 251 acquires an image obtained by capturing the paper sheet P from the image reading device included in the scrutinizer 200 and recognizes the characteristics of the acquired image (step S204).

  Next, the main control unit 251 determines whether or not the image acquired in step S204 is a batch card BC (step S206). The main control unit 251 determines whether the image acquired in step S204 is a batch card depending on whether or not the optical feature information in the image acquired in step S204 matches the optical feature in the image captured by the batch card BC. It is determined whether it is BC. A match includes a partial match in addition to a complete match. When it is determined that the image acquired in step S204 is a batch card BC, the main control unit 251 reads the batch card number from the image acquired in step S204 (step S208). The main control unit 151 controls the transport control unit 252 to transport the batch card BC inserted in step S100 to the reject stacking unit 234 (step S210).

  When it is determined that the image acquired in step S204 is not the batch card BC, the main control unit 251 reads the paper sheet number from the image acquired in step S204 (step S212). Next, the main control unit 251 determines whether or not the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S204 is a valid paper sheet P (step S214). The main control unit 251 determines whether the image acquired in step S204 is valid depending on whether the optical feature information in the image matches the optical feature of the genuine note stored in advance in the storage area of the device itself. Determine whether or not. Further, the main control unit 251 determines the ticket type, the degree of contamination, and the like of the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S204. When the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S204 is a valid paper sheet P, the main control unit 251 controls the gate based on the determination result in step S214, and determines that the paper sheet P is valid in step S214. Control is performed so as to convey the paper sheet P to the predetermined processing unit (step S216). For example, the paper sheet P determined to be a genuine note is conveyed to the stacking units 228 to 231, and the paper sheet P determined to be a defective ticket is conveyed to the cutting unit 233.

  If the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S204 is not a valid paper sheet P, the main control unit 251 determines whether or not the paper sheet P in the image acquired in step S204 is a fake ticket. (Step S218). The main control unit 251 displays the image of the paper sheet P determined to be invalid in step S214 on the display unit (not shown) of the terminal device connected to the scrutinizing device 200, and displays it on the display unit to the user. It is urged to determine whether or not the paper sheet P in the displayed image is a fake ticket. For example, it is determined whether or not the paper sheet P in the image displayed on the display unit is a fake ticket by an operation input to an input unit (not shown) of the terminal device by the operator. When it is determined that the paper sheet P in the image displayed on the display unit is not a fake ticket, the process proceeds to step S224. When it is determined that the paper sheet P in the image displayed on the display unit is a fake note, the main control unit 251 stores the paper sheet P in the image displayed on the display unit in a storage area included in the own device. The fake ticket is registered (step S220), and the conveyance control unit 252 is controlled to convey the paper sheet P to the reject stacking unit 234 (step S222).

  Next, the main control unit 251 determines whether or not there is the next paper sheet P accepted in step S200 (step S224). If it is determined in step S224 that there is a next sheet P, the process returns to step S202. If there is no next sheet P in the determination in step S224, the main control unit 251 closes the processing by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 (step S226), and the sheet collating apparatus 300 performs the above-described steps S200 to S226. The processing result and the information used for the processing are transmitted (step S228). Thereby, the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.

[Paper Sheet Matching Device 300]
The paper sheet collation device 300 combines the results having the same batch card number from the re-inspection result transmitted from the scrutinizing device 200 and the inspection result transmitted from the main body processing device 100 as processing data for one deposit batch. Reconfigure. In addition, the inspection result transmitted from the main body processing apparatus 100 is further divided and managed in units of straps based on the strap information. On the other hand, although there is no strap information in the reexamination result transmitted from the scrutinizing device 200, the paper sheet collating device 300 is processed by the main unit processing device 100 in the order of the exclusion ticket, the paper sheet number, and the scrutinizing device 200. The inspection results processed by the scrutinizing device 200 are automatically reconfigured in units of straps based on the order of the non-performing tickets and counterfeits and the paper sheet numbers.

  However, when the examination is performed by the examination apparatus 200, if a rejected ticket is generated due to reexamination and the processing order is changed, and the reading of the sheet number of the excluded ticket is not complete, automatic reconfiguration is not performed. The image of the rejection ticket of each of the main body processing apparatus 100 and the scrutinizing apparatus 200, the information of the read paper sheet number, etc. are displayed on the input / display unit 350, and the operator changes the order as necessary to reconfigure the strap information unit. Confirm. When the scrutiny by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 is completed for all the deposit batches processed by the main body processing apparatus 100, the paper sheet collating apparatus 300 performs a collating process as described below.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the paper sheet collating apparatus 300. The paper sheet collation apparatus 300 includes an acquisition unit 310, an estimation unit 320, a control unit 330, a correction reception unit 340, and an input / display unit 350. Among these, the function units of the estimation unit 320, the control unit 330, and the correction reception unit 340 are software function units that function when a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executes a program stored in the storage unit 360. is there. Some or all of these software function units may be hardware function units such as LSI (Large Scale Integration) and ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). In addition, the paper sheet collating apparatus 300 includes a storage unit 360. The storage unit 360 is realized by a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), an HDD, a flash memory, or the like.

  The acquisition unit 310 is a communication interface that acquires information from another device. The acquisition unit 310 includes the paper sheet numbers of the plurality of paper sheets P acquired by the main body processing apparatus 100 that inspects the paper sheets P, the strap information associated with the separation positions of the plurality of paper sheets P, and An image of the paper sheet P is acquired. In addition, the acquisition unit 310 acquires the paper sheet number of the paper sheet P acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200 that inspects the paper sheet P determined to be further inspected by the inspection of the main body processing apparatus 100. And the image of the paper sheet P is acquired.

  The estimating unit 320 obtains the strap information for the paper sheet P corresponding to the paper sheet number acquired from the scrutinizing device 200 by the acquiring unit 310 and the paper sheet number acquired from the scrutinizing device 200 by the acquiring unit 310. The estimation is performed by comparing the plurality of paper sheet numbers acquired from the main body processing apparatus 100 by the unit 310. The estimation unit 320 stores the estimated strap information in the storage unit 360 in association with the paper sheet number acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200.

  The control unit 330 integrally controls each unit such as the acquisition unit 310 and the input / display unit 350. Based on the estimation result of the estimation unit 320, the control unit 330 includes a plurality of paper sheet numbers acquired by the main body processing apparatus 100 by the acquisition unit 310, a paper sheet number acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200, and strap information. The input / display unit 350 displays the relationship with the corresponding separation position so as to be visible.

  The correction receiving unit 340 receives a correction of the relationship between the paper sheet number and the strap number acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200 by the acquiring unit 310, which is estimated by the estimating unit 320 based on the user's input operation. Further, the correction receiving unit 340 rewrites the strap information stored in the storage unit 360 according to the movement of the input operation image.

  The input / display unit 350 is, for example, a touch panel type tablet terminal that displays an image and can detect coordinates corresponding to a touch position when the detection surface is touched. The tablet terminal displays an image based on an instruction from the control unit 330.

  The input / display unit 350 is configured by superimposing a display unit such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electroluminescence) and an input unit capable of detecting the touch position of the operator by a coordinate detection mechanism. The input / display unit 350 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) switch for operation. When the input / display unit 350 detects a touch operation, a flick operation, a swipe operation, or the like on the GUI switch, the input / display unit 350 generates an operation signal indicating that the GUI switch is touched and outputs the operation signal to the control unit 330.

  In addition, information transmitted from the main body processing apparatus 100 and the scrutinizing apparatus 200 is stored in the storage unit 360. The storage unit 360 stores, for example, batch card numbers, expired tickets, the number of registered counterfeit tickets, images obtained by processing processed paper sheets, paper sheet numbers, etc. for all deposit batches. Is done. The storage unit 360 stores an information table 362. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a part of information stored as the information table 362. The information table 362 is table data in which, for example, a batch card number, a paper sheet number, and a strap number corresponding to the paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 are associated with an index. In the information table 362, for example, the batch card number corresponding to the paper sheet P processed by the scrutinizing apparatus 200, the paper sheet number, and the strap number estimated by the estimation unit 320 described later are associated with the index. Table data. Also, in the storage unit 360, an image captured by the main body processing apparatus 100 and the scrutinizing apparatus 200, in which the paper sheet P corresponding to the paper sheet number is captured, is associated with the paper sheet number. Is remembered. In the batch card number, the number of correct tickets, the number of damaged tickets, and the number of processed tickets are stored in association with the batch card number.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by the paper sheet collating apparatus 300. First, the control unit 330 waits until the operator gives an instruction to start processing (step S300). Next, when a process start instruction is received in step S300, the control unit 330 waits until a batch card number input by the operator is received (step S302). In step S302, when the batch card number is input by the operator, the estimation unit 320 executes a matching process (step S304). Details of the collation processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, the control unit 330 displays a list of paper sheets P indicating the separation position for each strap number on the input / display unit 350 as the collation processing result in step S304 (step S306). Specifically, the control unit 330 compares the paper sheet numbers of the plurality of paper sheets P acquired by the main body processing apparatus 100 with the paper sheet numbers of the paper sheets P acquired from the inspection apparatus 200. The separation position corresponding to the strap number is displayed and displayed on the input / display unit 350.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image IM that displays a list of paper sheets P indicating the separation positions for each strap number. An area A1 shows, for example, an image of a rejection ticket processed as a rejection ticket by the main body processing apparatus 100 and a paper sheet number. An area A2 shows a list of images of rejection tickets and paper sheet numbers in the order processed by the scrutinizing apparatus 200, for example. For example, the control unit 330 aligns the image IM in one horizontal row and images the image of the rejection ticket in the main body processing apparatus 100 corresponding to the paper sheet number, the paper sheet number, and the rejection ticket in the inspection apparatus 200. Is displayed on the input / display unit 350. In addition, the control unit 330 displays the separation position for each strap number on the input / display unit 350 in a state where the images of the exclusion tickets are aligned. The separation position for each strap number is a common separation position in the area A1 and the area A2.

  Next, the control unit 330 determines whether or not correction of the strap number by the operator is accepted via the input / display unit 350 (step S308). When the correction of the strap number by the operator is not received in step S308, the process proceeds to step S312. When the correction of the strap number by the operator is received in step S308, the correction receiving unit 340 corrects the strap number (step S310). Based on the image displayed on the input / display unit 350, the operator confirms whether the separation position for each strap is the correct position. For example, when the operator determines that the separation position needs to be corrected due to a paper sheet number recognition failure or the like, the input / display unit 350 is operated to correct the separation position to the correct separation position.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image for explaining the correction of the break position. For example, when correction of the estimation result of the strap number by the estimation unit 320 is necessary due to recognition failure of the paper sheet number or the like, the operator touches the image of the paper sheet P that needs to be corrected with the indicator. Then, the image is slid so as to cross the position where the strap number 8 is separated (an area included in the position where the strap number 7 is separated) (drag and drop). The control unit 330 controls the input / display unit 350 to move the image of the paper sheet P according to the slide operation. As a result, the image IM1 transitions so that the paper sheet P is included in the separation position of the strap number 7 as shown in the image IM2. In addition, the correction receiving unit 340 corrects the strap estimation result given to the information table 362 stored in the storage unit 360 to the strap number 7 to which the image belongs because the image has moved.

  Next, the controller 330 determines whether there is a next batch card BC (step S312). If there is a next batch card BC, the process proceeds to step S302. If there is no next batch card BC, the control unit 330 determines whether an instruction for batch collation processing has been received from the operator (step S314). When an instruction for batch collation processing is received from the operator, the control unit 330 executes the batch collation processing and determines whether there is a mismatched batch (step S316). For example, the control unit 330 receives the number of genuine tickets in the main body processing apparatus 100, the number of damaged tickets, the amount of money, the number of expired sheets in the scrutiny device 200, the sum of the amounts, etc. It automatically calculates whether or not the number of sheets of data matches the batch card number such as the amount of money.

  If the result of the batch collation process in step S314 is inconsistent, the control unit 330 displays an image indicating the unmatched batch on the input / display unit 350, and accepts confirmation or correction by the operator (step S318). For example, the operator performs necessary confirmation processing by inputting necessary information such as a collection organization name and a payment date via the input / display unit 350. Next, the control unit 330 outputs an abnormality report including information indicating a mismatched batch (step S320). When the result of the batch collation process in step S314 is not inconsistent, and after the process of step S320, a shift and a process result for each batch are output (step S322). Thereby, the processing of this flowchart is completed.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing details of the collation processing in step S304. First, the estimation unit 320 selects one sheet P processed by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 (step S400). Next, the estimation unit 320 acquires the batch card number and the paper sheet number of the paper sheet P selected in step S400 from the storage unit 360 (step S402). Next, the estimation unit 320 determines whether there is a paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that matches the batch card number acquired in step S402 and the paper sheet number (step S404). A match includes a partial match in addition to a complete match. For example, the estimation unit 320 has the paper sheet number acquired in step S402 and the paper sheet number of the paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 having a matching degree equal to or greater than a predetermined value (first reference). Determine whether or not. The coincidence degree is equal to or higher than the first reference means that, for example, when the paper sheet number is 10 digits, the paper sheet number is matched by 8 digits or more.

  When it is determined that there is a paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that matches the batch card number acquired in step S402 and the paper sheet number, the estimation unit 320 has processed the main body processing apparatus 100. A strap number corresponding to the paper sheet P is assigned to the paper sheet P processed by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 (step S406). As a result, the paper sheet P processed by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 belongs to the group of paper sheets P represented by the strap number.

  When it is determined that there is no paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that matches the batch card number acquired in step S402 and the paper sheet number, the estimation unit 320 performs a rejection process (step S408). The reject process is a process that handles paper sheets P that cannot be given a strap number. In this case, the estimation unit 320 determines that the estimation result of the strap number is not possible. The control unit 330 displays information indicating that the strap number cannot be estimated on the input / display unit 350 together with the image of the paper sheet P determined to be unestimable by the estimation unit 320. In this case, for example, after the image of the paper sheet P for which the estimation unit 320 has estimated the strap number in the input / display unit 350, the control unit 330 cannot estimate the strap number by the estimation unit 320. The input / display unit 350 displays the relationship between the image of the category P or the identification information and the separation position indicating the rejection process corresponding to the paper sheet P treated as the rejection process.

  Next, the estimation unit 320 determines whether or not all the paper sheets P have been processed (step S410). If all the paper sheets P have not been processed, the process returns to step S410. If all the paper sheets P have been processed, the process of this flowchart ends.

  Here, in the process of step S404 in FIG. 17, it is determined that there is no paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that matches the batch card number acquired by the estimation unit 320 in step S402 and the paper sheet number. An example of the case will be described. In this case, the estimation unit 320 sets the strap number of the paper sheet P for which the strap number cannot be estimated, and the strap number assigned to the paper sheet P processed immediately before and after the paper sheet P for which the strap number cannot be estimated. It may be estimated. In addition, when the strap numbers assigned to the paper sheets P processed immediately before and after the paper sheet P to be estimated are different, the strap numbers to be estimated using preset conditions and priority are set. It may be estimated.

  The estimation unit 320, for example, out of the strap numbers assigned to the paper sheet P processed immediately before and after the paper sheet P to be estimated, the paper sheet from which the strap number having a smaller strap number is to be estimated. Estimated as a strap number of class P. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image IM3 displayed on the input / display unit 350 when a strap number having a small strap number is estimated as the strap number of the paper sheet P to be estimated. For example, when the main body processing apparatus 100 performs processing in a state where two sheets of paper sheets P are taken out one by one and the scrutinizing apparatus 200 processes the paper sheets P one by one, the scrutinizing apparatus 200 as shown in the image IM3. The paper sheet P that is paired with the paper sheet P1 processed in step S1 is not displayed. Then, the estimation unit 320 cannot extract the paper sheet P having the paper sheet number that matches the paper sheet P1 processed by the main body processing apparatus 100. In this case, the estimation unit 320 is to estimate a strap number having a smaller strap number among the strap numbers assigned to the paper sheet P processed immediately before and after the paper sheet P to be estimated. The strap number of the paper sheet P is estimated. As a result, the paper sheet P processed by the scrutinizing device 200 belongs to the group of paper sheets P represented by the estimated strap number.

  Here, in the process of step S404 in FIG. 17, it is determined whether there is a sheet processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that matches the batch card number acquired by the estimation unit 320 in step S402 and the sheet number. An application example of the determination process will be described. For example, the estimation unit 320 determines whether or not there is a paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that matches the batch card number acquired in step S402 and the paper sheet number. It may be determined whether it is necessary.

  For example, the estimation unit 320 is the paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 that partially matches the batch card number acquired in step S402 and the paper sheet number, and the matching degree is equal to or higher than the first reference and the first number. If there is a paper sheet P that is lower than the second standard that is higher than the first standard, information indicating that confirmation by the operator is necessary is input together with the image of the paper sheet P in the process of step S306. You may display on the display part 350. FIG. For example, if the degree of match is greater than or equal to the first reference and less than the second reference, for example, if the paper sheet number is 10 digits, the paper sheet number matches 9 digits, but the 10 digits are one. That is not done. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image indicating information displayed on the input / display unit 350 by the determination of the process in step S404. In the figure, as shown in the paper sheet P2, when confirmation by the operator is necessary, “confirmation required”, which is information for alerting that confirmation is necessary, is superimposed on the image of the paper sheet P and displayed. Let For example, the control unit 330 determines the degree of coincidence between the batch card number acquired by the estimation unit 320 in step S <b> 402 and the paper sheet number of the paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100. At the same time, it may be displayed on the input / display unit 350.

  In addition, the estimation unit 320 shows a case where a fake ticket is registered for the paper sheet P corresponding to the image displayed on the input / display unit 350 in the scrutinizing apparatus 200 (FIG. 11; step S220). As shown in the paper sheet P3, information “fake ticket” indicating that the fake ticket is registered may be displayed superimposed on the image of the paper sheet P.

  According to at least one embodiment described above, the estimating unit 320 of the paper sheet collating apparatus 300 determines the relationship between the paper sheet number acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200 by the acquiring unit 310 and the strap information by the acquiring unit 310. Estimation is performed by comparing the paper sheet number acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200 with a plurality of paper sheet numbers acquired from the main body processing apparatus 100 by the acquisition unit 310, and the control unit 330 estimates the estimation unit 320. Based on the result, it is possible to visually recognize the relationship between the plurality of paper sheet numbers acquired by the main body processing apparatus 100 by the acquiring unit 310, the paper sheet numbers acquired from the scrutinizing apparatus 200, and the separation position corresponding to the strap information. Are displayed on the input / display unit 350. As a result, since the strap number of the paper sheet P processed by the main body processing apparatus 100 and the strap number of the paper sheet P estimated by the scrutinizing apparatus 200 can be collated, the convenience of the user can be improved. it can.
