Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus which is installed in a commercial facility or the like and performs cash withdrawal processing used in a register, cash deposit processing collected from a register, and the like.

  A conventional cash processing system connects a management server and a plurality of cash processing devices via a communication network, and the management server manages processing results by each cash processing device by cooperating with each cash processing device. Before starting transaction processing, the user is authenticated (online authentication) based on the user ID transmitted from the cash processing apparatus by the user identification information and user authority information stored in the authentication database, and the user authority is The information is transmitted to the cash processing apparatus, and the cash processing apparatus displays a menu screen that can be executed by the user based on the received user authority information. When the user selects linked payment, the cash processing apparatus performs deposit processing in linked payment. And register the processing results in the management server.

  Moreover, when communication failure occurs in the communication network and online authentication cannot be performed, the cash processing apparatus authenticates the user based on the input user ID (offline authentication) by the authentication unit, The deposit process is executed independently (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-145489 (paragraphs 0021-0040, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5)

However, in the above-described conventional technology, the processing result or the like is registered in the management server in the online payment process, but when a communication failure occurs in the communication network during the communication with the management server. Since the processing result cannot be registered in the management server, it is necessary to return the cash (banknotes and coins) inserted into the cash processing apparatus to the person in charge of the register (referred to as a cashier person in charge).
In addition, when the cashier person selects cancellation of transaction on the counting result confirmation screen after counting the deposit, it is necessary to return the cash inserted into the cash processing apparatus to the cashier person.

Specifically, in case of depositing a large amount of cash, such as sales, in the linked deposit, there is a limit to the capacity of the cash input unit (banknote deposit / withdrawal unit, coin deposit unit). Following processing, it will be necessary to deposit additional cash.
At the time of this additional payment, the input cash temporarily held in the cash temporary holding unit (banknote temporary holding unit, coin temporary holding unit) in the first payment process is transferred from the cash temporary holding unit to the cash storage (banknote storage, coins). After evacuating the temporary cash holding part by transporting it to the storage, and accepting the input of cash for additional payment, the deposit process of the additional payment is executed, and the cash temporary holding part emptied at the time of additional payment Input cash is temporarily suspended.

  In the second and subsequent payment processing by this additional payment, after the additional cash has been identified and counted, the transaction is instructed to be canceled when the counting result confirmation screen is displayed after temporarily holding it in the temporary cash holding section Needs to execute a return process for returning the input cash accumulated in the temporary cash holding unit and the cash storage to the cashier.

In return processing by transaction cancellation at the time of this additional payment, in the banknote processing section, the banknote temporary storage section and the input banknotes in the banknote storage are accumulated in the banknote deposit / withdrawal section and returned to the cashier. In the coin temporary storage section, the coins put in the coin return box and the coins put in the coin storage are collected in the coin withdrawal box and returned to the cashier in two places. It is necessary for the person to take out the inserted coins from two places, which increases the burden on the cashier in charge and may cause forgetting to return coins.
In addition, if a jam or other transport failure occurs during the return process by canceling the transaction at the time of additional payment, and the return process to the cashier is not completed, there will be a difference in the handling of cash depending on the timing of the failure Therefore, the following problems arise.

That is, the input cash in the temporary cash holding unit is handled as cash outside the device, and the input cash being transferred from the temporary cash holding unit to the cash storage after the payment is confirmed and the input cash stored in the cash storage are Treated as cash.
For this reason, since the returned banknotes being conveyed from the banknote temporary holding unit to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit and the return coins being transferred from the coin temporary holding unit to the coin return box are cash outside the apparatus, After the cash is removed, the removed cash is returned to the cashier by hand.

Moreover, since the return banknote currently being conveyed from the banknote storage to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit and the return coin being transferred from the coin storage to the coin dispensing box are cash in the apparatus, they should be returned to the cash storage after removal. Therefore, the cashier will receive the unreturned cash from the administrator by hand payment (details will be described later), and the maintenance staff will remove it at each cash input section after the cash processor is restored. Cash will be reintroduced and returned to the respective cash storage.
That is, since the return destination of the removed cash is different from the cashier person or the cash storage depending on the site where the conveyance failure occurs, there is a problem that confusion may occur if the maintenance person makes a wrong return destination.

Furthermore, in the removal operation of the jam cash by the maintenance staff, in the return processing in the banknote processing unit, the returned banknote is transported from the banknote temporary storage unit to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit and from the banknote storage to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit. Because there is a shared part in the banknote transport path for these returned banknotes, it becomes difficult for maintenance personnel to determine which banknotes removed from the shared transport path belong to There is a problem that the burden on the person increases.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a means for preventing the forgotten taking of the returned cash and reducing the burden on the person in charge such as a cashier person or a maintenance person. Objective.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention provides a cash processing apparatus for discriminating inputted cash and executing a deposit transaction, an input means for accepting an instruction input from a user, and a cash deposit unit for depositing cash. And a plurality of stacking units that stack the input cash that has been input to the cash deposit unit, and when the deposit transaction cancellation instruction is input from the input means before the completion of the deposit transaction, When input cash exists in each of the plurality of stacking units, the input cash stored in the plurality of stacking units is returned to the stacking unit after being stacked in one stacking unit.

  As a result, the present invention sets the return location of the input cash to one place, and can unify the return destination of the removed cash when a transport failure occurs during the transport of the return cash. Can be prevented and the burden on the person in charge can be reduced.

S2: The main control unit 4 displaying the deposit guidance screen transmits an execution command for the deposit counting process in the deposit process of the linked deposit to the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20.

The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has received the execution command for the deposit counting process executes the deposit counting process for the inserted banknote.
That is, the control unit 11 waits for the banknotes to be inserted into the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 12 and waits for the cashier to input the banknotes to be deposited into the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 12. The banknote depositing / dispensing part 12 feeds the inserted banknotes one by one to the banknote transport path 19 and transports them to the banknote discrimination part 13, and the banknote discrimination part 13 discriminates the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the banknotes.

When the discrimination result by the banknote discrimination unit 13 is a genuine note, the control unit 11 conveys and accumulates the banknote to the banknote temporary storage unit 14 via the banknote conveyance path 19 and stores the area based on the identified denomination. The number of denominations of the inserted banknotes accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 14 is counted by adding “1” to the count number of the denomination in the banknote count area 11a.
When the discrimination result by the banknote discriminating unit 13 is a fake bill such as a fake banknote or a foreign banknote, or a severely damaged bill, the control unit 11 conveys the deposited reject banknote to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 12 through the banknote transport path 19 and accumulates it. .

  And the control part 11 will complete | finish discrimination and count of all the inserted banknotes thrown into the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 12, and the number of money types of the banknotes temporarily hold | maintained in the banknote temporary storage part 14 (holding banknote number count). A bill deposit count end notification with the count number of the money type of the area) is transmitted to the main control unit 4. At this time, when deposit-rejected banknotes are accumulated in the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 12, this is added.

In parallel with the deposit counting process for banknotes, the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 that has received the execution command for the deposit counting process executes the deposit counting process for the inserted coins.
That is, the control unit 21 waits for the coins to be inserted into the coin insertion slot 22a of the coin depositing unit 22, and recognizes that when the cashier in charge puts the coins to be deposited into the coin insertion slot 22a. The control unit 21 conveys the inserted coins fed one by one from the coin feeding unit 22b of the coin depositing unit 22 to the coin discrimination unit 23, and the coin discrimination unit 23 discriminates the true / false of the coin, the denomination, and the like.

When the discrimination result by the coin discriminating unit 23 is a normal coin, the control unit 21 opens the sorting gate of the corresponding sorting port of the coin sorting unit 23a based on the denomination of the coin, and the denomination conveyance chute 29a. The coins are dropped into the coin temporary storage unit 24 and accumulated in the denomination, and “1” is added to the count number of the denomination in the storage coin count area of the storage area 21a to accumulate the coins accumulated in the coin temporary storage unit 24. Count the number of denominations.
When the discrimination result by the coin discriminating unit 13 is a fake coin such as a fake coin or a foreign coin, or a significantly damaged coin, the control unit 21 opens the sorting gate at the reject port of the coin sorting unit 23a by opening the deposit reject coin. It is conveyed to the coin rejection port 26 by the conveyance chute 29d and accumulated.

  And the control part 21 will complete | finish discrimination and count of all the input coins thrown into the coin depositing part 22, and the number of the money types of the input coin temporarily hold | maintained in the coin temporary storage part 24 (in a reserve coin count area). A coin deposit count end notification with a count of money type) is transmitted to the main control unit 4. At this time, if the deposit reject coins are accumulated in the coin reject slot 26, the fact is added.

  S3: On the other hand, after transmitting the execution command of the deposit counting process in the deposit process of the linked deposit, the bill deposit count end notification from the control unit 11 of the bill processing unit 10 and the coin deposit count from the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 When the main control unit 4 waiting for receipt of the end notification receives both payment count end notifications, the main display unit 4 deposits money on the display screen of the operation display unit 6 according to the type of input cash including input banknotes and input coins. Number of deposits, total deposit amount for each cash type (money type), totaling the number of deposits for each type of input cash, the total amount of input cash, and a “storage” button to indicate storage of input cash, this time "Return" button for instructing to cancel the transaction of the deposit transaction, and instructing that the deposit process is continuously performed because the input cash exceeds the capacity of the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 12 and / or the coin deposit unit 22 Displaying a first count result confirmation screen that displays the "Add-on" button, and the like of the eye.

At this time, if the bank note deposit count end notification and / or coin deposit count end notification indicates that the deposit reject cash has been added, it will be displayed for each cash type and the cashier will receive the deposit reject. Deliver cash.
Then, the cashier person presses any one of the displayed instruction buttons.

S4: When the instruction button is pressed, the main control unit 4 that has recognized the instruction type instructed by the cashier in charge proceeds to step S13 if the instruction type is “return”. If the instruction type is “accommodate” or “additional deposit”, the process proceeds to step S5.
S5: The main control unit 4 recognizing the instruction type designated by the cashier in charge as “accommodation” or “additional deposit” is made to the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 for cooperative payment. An execution command for storing the input cash in the deposit process is transmitted.
The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has received the execution instruction for the stored cash storage process executes the stored banknote storage process.

  That is, the control unit 11 feeds the inserted banknotes (holding banknotes) of the banknote temporary storage unit 14 one by one to the banknote transport path 19 by the feeding mechanism and transports them to the banknote discrimination unit 13, and the gold discriminated by the banknote discrimination unit 13. The banknote storage 15 of a denomination to be stored based on the seed is specified, and the banknote is transported and stored in the banknote storage 15 corresponding to the banknote transport path 19, and the storage area is based on the identified denomination. The number of denominations of the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit 16 is counted by adding “1” to the count number of the denomination in the banknote storage count area of 11a.

At this time, the storage reject banknote discriminated as a double feed or the like by the banknote discriminating unit 13 is conveyed from the banknote discriminating unit 13 to the banknote reject box 17 by the banknote conveyance path 19 and accumulated. In this case, the count number in the stored banknote count area is returned to the state before the banknote is paid out.
Then, when all the stored banknotes are stored in the banknote storage 15, the number of denominations of banknotes newly stored in the banknote storage 15 (the number of counts of the denomination in the reserved banknote count area) is added. The completed bill storage end notification is transmitted to the main control unit 4.

In this case, banknotes stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 14, banknotes present in the banknote transport path 19 from the banknote temporary storage unit 14 to the banknote storage 15, and banknotes stored in the banknote storage 15 after receiving an execution command for storage processing. Are handled as banknotes in the device.
In parallel with the banknote storage process, the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 that has received the execution instruction for the input cash storage process executes the coin storage process.

That is, the control unit 21 guides the inserted coin (held coin) of the coin temporary storage unit 24 to the transport chute 29b for each denomination by the switching gate 24b, and drops the temporarily stored input coin into the denomination to store the coin. The coins stored in the coin storage unit 16 are stored in the coin storage unit 16 by adding the count number of the type of money in the reserved coin number count area to the count number of the type of money stored in the storage coin number count area of the storage area 11a. Count the number of denominations.
When all the stored coins are stored in the coin storage 25, the number of coins newly stored in the coin storage 25 (the number of counts in the type of the reserved coin count area) is added. The received coin storage end notification is transmitted to the main control unit 4.

In this case, the coins temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 24 from the time when the storage processing execution command is received, the input coins existing in the transport chute 29b from the coin temporary storage unit 24 to the coin storage 25, and the input stored in the coin storage 25 Coins are handled as coins in the device.
On the other hand, after transmission of the execution instruction for the storage process of the inserted cash in the deposit process of the linked payment, the banknote storage end notification from the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the coin storage end notification from the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 The main control unit 4 which has been waiting for the reception of the process proceeds to step S6 when receiving both storage end notifications.

S6: The main control unit 4 that has received the storage end notification from the banknote processing unit 10 and the coin processing unit 20 recognizes that the instruction type indicated by the cashier person in step S3 is “storage”. The process proceeds to S7.
If the instruction type is “additional deposit”, the process returns to step S1 to execute the second deposit process.

In this case, the number of deposits by type of input cash, the deposit amount for each cash type, and the total deposit amount of input cash displayed on the first counting result confirmation screen in step S3 are the first and second, respectively. It is displayed as the total number of times added.
Further, the counts of the reserved banknote count area and the reserved coin count area counted in step S2 are counted while adding the second count to the count at the end of the first, respectively, and the stored banknote count area The count number in the stored coin count area is counted while adding the second count number to the count number at the end of the first time.

S7: When the instruction type is “storing”, the main control unit 4 that has recognized the end of the deposit process has displayed a message indicating that it is communicating with the management server 2 on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. The in-communication screen is displayed and the process proceeds to step S8.
S8: The main control unit 4 displaying the in-communication screen communicates with the management server 2 and executes the cooperation process in the cooperative payment.

That is, the main control unit 4 sends a receipt amount registration request to which all the inserted cash has been stored in the present deposit process, and to each of the deposited banknotes and the received coins in the present deposit process with the respective denominations. The management server 2 that has received and received this information stores, in the registration area of the cash deposit / withdrawal device 1 of the transmission source, the received banknotes and the number of coins received according to the reception date and time. When the storage is completed, a deposit amount registration completion notification indicating that the deposit amount registration has been completed is transmitted to the cash deposit / withdrawal device 1 of the transmission source via the communication network 3.
S9: On the other hand, after transmitting the deposit amount registration request, the main control unit 4 waiting for receipt of the deposit amount registered notification from the management server 2 has received the deposit amount registered notification from the management server 2 Sometimes, it is determined that the deposit transaction is completed in the current cooperative deposit, and the process proceeds to step S10.

  Further, the main control unit 4 does not receive the deposit registration notification from the management server 2 even after a predetermined time has elapsed, or when the received deposit registration notification is unreadable due to a communication failure such as noise. Then, it is determined that the current transaction is unsuccessful, and the process returns to step S3 via the connector A, and the display screen of the operation display unit 6 displays the number of deposits of the input cash type, the deposit amount for each cash type, Total deposit amount of input cash, “Re-execute” button for instructing re-execution of communication with the management server 2, “Return” button for instructing cancellation of the deposit transaction in the current combined deposit, etc. A second count result confirmation screen displaying is displayed.

Then, when the cashier person presses the “re-execute” button displayed, the process proceeds to step S7 to display a communication screen, and in step S8, cooperation processing in cooperative payment with the management server 2 As a result of the re-execution, if it is determined in step S9 that the current deposit transaction has been established, the process proceeds to step S10 in the same manner as described above, and if it is determined that the current deposit transaction has not been established. Then, the process returns to step S3 through the connector A, the second count result confirmation screen is displayed, and the above processing operation is repeated.
When the cashier person presses the “return” button displayed, the process proceeds to step S13.

S10: The main control unit 4 that has determined that the transaction has been established by the cooperative processing in the cooperative payment with the management server 2 uses the printing unit 8 to determine the number of deposits of the type of input cash in the current deposit processing and for each cash type. The receipt printed with the deposit amount and the total deposit amount of the input cash, etc. is discharged, the receipt of the cashier is confirmed, and the process proceeds to step S11.
S11: The main control unit 4 confirming receipt of the receipt displays the in-communication screen in the same manner as in step S7, and proceeds to step S12.
S <b> 12: The main control unit 4 that has displayed the in-communication screen transmits a telegram message of the cash deposit / withdrawal device 1 to the management server 2.

That is, the main control unit 4 sends a cash amount transmission request for requesting transmission of the cash amount stored in each cash storage to the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20. The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has transmitted and received the banknote transmission request has attached the banknote number of the banknotes stored in the banknote storage 15 (the number of banknote counts in the banknote count area). A stock amount notification is transmitted to the main control unit 4.
In addition, the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 that has received the balance transmission request receives the number of coins stored in the coin storage 25 (the number of coins in the stored coin number count area). A high notification is transmitted to the main control unit 4.

And the main control part 4 which received the balance notification from the banknote processing part 10 and the coin processing part receives from the banknote processing part 10 and the coin processing part 20 that it is the amount of money of the present cash depositing / withdrawing apparatus 1. The stock amount registration request with the number of denominated bills and coins is sent to the management server 2 via the communication network 3, and the management server 2 that has received the request sends it to the registration area of the cash depositing / dispensing device 1 as the transmission source. The number of bills and coins received according to the reception date and time is stored, and when the storage is completed, a cash register notification indicating that the cash register has been completed is sent and received through the communication network 3 Send to the gold device 1.
The main control unit 4 that has received the balance registration notification from the management server 2 terminates the deposit process in the current linked deposit.

  S13: On the other hand, in step S4, when the instruction type instructed by the cashier person is “return” instructing to cancel the transaction, the main control unit 4 that has shifted from step S4 receives the inserted banknote and the inserted coin. In order to execute the return process, first, the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 is used to confirm the accumulation status of the cash stored in each cash temporary storage unit and each cash storage of the banknote processing unit 10 and the coin processing unit 20. And the input cash accumulation status confirmation request is transmitted to the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20.

  The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has received the inserted cash accumulation status confirmation request confirms the output from the residual detection sensor of the banknote temporary storage unit 14, and if there is an input banknote in the banknote temporary storage unit 14, the banknote stored Yes, if there is no inserted banknote, there is no reserved banknote; if a new banknote is stored in the banknote storage 15, it is stored banknote; if there is no inserted banknote, there is no stored banknote Is sent to the main control unit 4.

Moreover, the control part 11 of the coin processing part 20 which received the input cash accumulation | storage status confirmation request | requirement confirms the output from the residual detection sensor of the coin temporary storage part 24, and when input coin exists in the coin temporary storage part 24, it is. When there is no input coin, when there is no input coin, there is no storage coin, when there is a new input coin stored in the coin storage 25, there is a storage coin, and when no input coin is stored, it is stored. A coin accumulation status notification with no coins is transmitted to the main control unit 4.
And when the main control part 4 receives the banknote accumulation status notification from the control section 11 of the banknote processing section 10 and the coin accumulation status notification from the control section 21 of the coin processing section 20, the received banknote accumulation status notification The coin accumulation status notification is stored in the storage unit 5 and the execution of the return processing of the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins is started. The return process in this case has the following four cases.

Case 1: “Storing” is instructed in the first deposit process, and a “Return” button is displayed from the second count result confirmation screen displayed when returning from the step S9 via the connector A due to a communication failure or the like. Return processing when pressed.
Case 2: Return processing when the “Return” button is pressed from the first counting result confirmation screen displayed in the first deposit processing.

Case 3: “Storing” is instructed in the second and subsequent deposit processing by additional deposit, and “2” is displayed from the second count result confirmation screen displayed when returning from the step S9 via the connector A due to a communication failure or the like. Return processing when the “Return” button is pressed.
Case 4: Return processing when the “Return” button is pressed from the first counting result confirmation screen displayed in the second and subsequent payment processing by additional payment.

In the following, each processing operation will be described for each case.
<Case 1>
In this case, since the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins are all stored in the banknote storage 15 and the coin storage 25 by the first deposit process, there is no input cash in each cash temporary holding unit, and each cash The input cash in the storage is handled as cash in the apparatus, and the following processing operations are executed.

S13: “Return” button is pressed on the second counting result confirmation screen displayed when “accommodation” is instructed in the first deposit process and returned from step S9 via connector A due to communication failure or the like As a result, the main control unit 4 that has shifted from step S4, stores the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5, and starts executing the return processing of the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins. If the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification are with reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S14.
When the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification indicate no reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S20.
In this case, since there is no input cash in each cash temporary holding part, it transfers to step S20.

S20: The main control unit 4 recognizing that there is no input cash in each cash temporary holding unit, when the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5 are not stored cash, Finish the deposit process.
When the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification have stored cash, the process proceeds to step S21.
In this case, since the input cash is stored in each cash storage, the process proceeds to step S21.

S21: The main control unit 4 that recognizes that there is no inserted cash in each cash temporary storage unit and that the inserted banknote has been stored in each cash storage, returns to the display screen of the operation display unit 6 A returning screen indicating that the process is being executed is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S22.
S22: The main control unit 4 displaying the returning screen displays the control unit 11 and the coin processing of the banknote processing unit 10 in order to perform the return processing of the banknotes and coins stored in the banknote storage 15 and the coin storage 25. The execution instruction | indication of the return process of stored cash is transmitted to the control part 21 of the part 20. FIG.
The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has received the execution instruction for the stored cash return process executes a return process of the banknotes stored in the banknote storage 15.

  That is, the control unit 11 reads the count number of the denomination from the reserved banknote count area in the storage area 11a, and feeds out banknotes corresponding to each count number from the banknote storages 15a to 15c one by one by the feeding mechanism. The fed banknotes are transported to the banknote discriminating section 13 through the banknote transport path 19 and further transported to the banknote depositing / dispensing section 12 for accumulation, and each time the banknotes are fed out from the banknote storage 15, the stored banknote count in the storage area 11a is counted. “1” is subtracted from the count number of the area, and the number of stored bills in each banknote storage 15 is counted.

  At this time, the reject banknotes at the time of return processing identified as double feeding or the like by the banknote discriminating unit 13 are transported and accumulated from the banknote discriminating unit 13 to the banknote reject box 17 by the banknote transport path 19, and banknotes are stored in the storage area 11 a. The fact that banknotes are accumulated in the reject box 17 is stored. In this case, the count number in the stored banknote count area is returned to the state before the banknote is paid out.

And when all the stored banknotes which should be returned are conveyed to the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 12 and integrated | stacked, the notification of completion | finish of storage banknotes is transmitted to the main control part 4. FIG. In this case, when it is stored in the storage area 11a that the banknotes are accumulated in the banknote reject box 17 (including the case where the banknotes are stored in step S19 described later), this is added to the storage banknote accumulation end notification. To send.
Moreover, the control part 21 of the coin processing part 20 which received the execution instruction | indication of the return process of stored cash performs the return process of the coin accommodated in the coin storage 25.

  That is, the control unit 21 reads the count number of the denomination from the reserved coin number count area in the storage area 21a, and one coin corresponding to each count number from each coin storage of the coin storage 25 by the feeding mechanism. Each time the fed and fed coins are dropped into the coin dispensing box 27 by the transport chute 29d and accumulated, and the coins are fed from the coin storage 25, the count of the stored coin count area in the storage area 11a is counted. “1” is subtracted and the number of sheets stored in each coin storage 25 is counted.

Then, when all the stored coins to be returned are accumulated in the coin dispensing box 27, a storage coin accumulation end notification is transmitted to the main control unit 4.
On the other hand, after transmission of the execution instruction for the return processing of the stored cash, it waits for receipt of the stored banknote accumulation end notification from the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the storage coin accumulation end notification from the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20. The main control unit 4 that has been waiting for the process proceeds to step S23 when both the collection end notifications are received.

S23: The main control unit 4 that has received the accumulation end notification from the banknote processing unit 10 and the coin processing unit 20 displays the return banknote and the coin dispensing box 27 accumulated on the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 12 on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. When the receipt of the returned coins accumulated on the banknote and the notice of the end of the accumulation of stored banknotes indicate that the banknotes are accumulated in the banknote reject box 17, the reception of the reject banknotes collected at the banknote reject box 17 is guided. The receipt guidance screen is displayed, the receipt of the return cash by the cashier in charge is confirmed, and the deposit process in the current linked deposit is terminated.
In the case of this return processing, no receipt is issued because there is no change in the cash present in the cash deposit / withdrawal apparatus 1.

Moreover, when the reject banknote at the time of return is integrated | stacked on the banknote rejection part 17, the cashier person in charge re-injects the said rejection banknote into the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 12, and stores it in the banknote storage 25 by money type. .
If it does in this way, since the reject banknote at the time of the return from the banknote storage 15 is a banknote originally stored in the banknote storage 15, the number of banknotes stored in the storage area 11a by storing it again is stored. The count number in the count area and the number stored in the bill storage 15 can be returned to the state before the current transaction.

<Case 2>
In this case, in the first deposit counting process, the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins are all accumulated in each cash temporary storage unit, and the inserted banknotes 15 and the coin storage 25 store the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins. Therefore, the input cash of each cash temporary holding unit is handled as cash outside the apparatus, and the following processing operations are executed.

S13: As a result of the “return” button being pressed on the first counting result confirmation screen displayed in the first deposit process, the main control unit 4 that has shifted from step S4 is similar to step S13 in case 1 above. When the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5 have reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S14.
When the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification indicate no reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S20.
In this case, since there is input cash in each cash temporary holding unit, the process proceeds to step S14.

S14: The main control unit 4 recognizing that input cash is present in each cash temporary storage unit, when the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5 are not stored cash, proceeds to step S15.
When the bill accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification are stored cash, the process proceeds to step S18.
In this case, since the input cash is not stored in each cash storage, the process proceeds to step S15.

S15: The main control unit 4 recognizing that the inserted cash is present in each temporary cash holding unit and that no inserted banknote is stored in each cash storage, the return processing is performed on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. A returning screen indicating that it is being executed is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S16.
S16: The main control unit 4 displaying the returning screen controls the banknote processing unit 10 to execute the return processing of the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 14 and the coin temporary storage unit 24. The execution instruction | indication of the return process of pending cash is transmitted to the control part 21 of the part 11 and the coin processing part 20.

The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has received the execution instruction for the stored cash return process executes a return process for the inserted banknote temporarily held in the banknote temporary storage unit 14.
That is, the control unit 11 feeds the inserted banknotes temporarily held in the banknote temporary storage unit 14 one by one by the feeding mechanism, conveys the fed banknotes directly to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 12 and accumulates them, When the residual detection sensor of the banknote temporary holding unit 14 no longer detects the presence of the remaining banknote, it is determined that all the inserted banknotes to be returned have been conveyed to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 12 and accumulated, and the main control unit 4 is reached. A notice of the accumulated banknote accumulation is transmitted.

Moreover, the control part 21 of the coin processing part 20 which received the execution instruction | indication of the return process of a pending | holding cash performs the return process of the input coin temporarily suspended by the coin temporary storage part 24. FIG.
In other words, the control unit 11 guides the inserted coin temporarily held in the coin temporary holding unit 24 to the transport chute 29e for each denomination by the switching gate 24b, and drops the temporarily held input coin into the denomination type to return the coin return box 28. When all the input coins to be returned are accumulated in the coin return box 28, a notice of completion of the accumulated coin accumulation is transmitted to the main control unit 4.

On the other hand, after transmission of the execution instruction for the return processing of the reserved cash, waiting for receipt of the hold banknote accumulation end notification from the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the hold coin accumulation end notification from the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20. When the main control unit 4 that has been waiting has received both notifications of completion of accumulation, the process proceeds to step S17.
S17: The main control unit 4 that has received the accumulation end notification from the banknote processing unit 10 and the coin processing unit 20 displays the return banknote and the coin return box 28 accumulated in the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 12 on the display screen of the operation display unit 6. A receipt guidance screen for guiding the receipt of the accumulated return coins is displayed, the receipt of the return cash by the cashier person in charge is confirmed, and the deposit process in the current linked deposit is terminated.

<Case 3>
In this case, the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins are all stored in the banknote storage 15 and the coin storage 25 by the first and second and subsequent deposit processes, so there is no input cash in each cash temporary storage unit. First, the input cash of each cash storage is handled as cash in the apparatus, and the following processing operations are executed.

  S13: “Return” is indicated in the second and subsequent deposit processing by additional deposit, and “Return” is displayed on the second count result confirmation screen displayed when returning from Step S9 via connector A due to communication failure or the like. As a result of the “” button being pressed, the main control unit 4 that has shifted from step S 4, in the same manner as step S 13 of case 1 above, when the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5 have reserved cash. The process proceeds to step S14.

When the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification indicate no reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S20.
In this case, since there is no input cash in each cash temporary holding part, it transfers to step S20.
Since the subsequent processing operations in steps S20 to S23 are the same as in the case 1, the description thereof is omitted.

<Case 4>
In this case, in the deposit counting process of the final deposit process executed after the second time, the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins in the final deposit count process are accumulated in each cash temporary holding unit, and 1 of the final deposit process. In the storing process before the turn, the inserted banknotes and inserted coins are stored in the banknote storage 15 and the coin storage 25, so that they are stored in the input cash of each temporary cash holding unit and each cash storage. In order to unify the way of handling stored cash, in this embodiment, the cash accumulated in each temporary holding unit is temporarily stored in each cash storage, and all input cash is handled as cash in the apparatus. For this reason, the processing operation shown below is performed.

  In addition, even if the input cash of each cash temporary holding part is handled as described above, the cash handled by the cash deposit / withdrawal apparatus 1 of this embodiment is all the cash on the store side, and all the cash on the customer side is the register counter. Therefore, there will be no miscalculations in the management of sales proceeds in the management server 2 and in the cash management of the cash deposit / withdrawal device 1.

S13: As a result of pressing the “return” button on the first counting result confirmation screen displayed in the second and subsequent deposit processes by additional deposit, the main control unit 4 that has shifted from step S4 to step S13 of case 1 above Similarly, when the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5 have reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S14.
When the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification indicate no reserved cash, the process proceeds to step S20.
In this case, since there is input cash in each cash temporary holding unit, the process proceeds to step S14.

S14: The main control unit 4 recognizing that input cash is present in each cash temporary storage unit, when the banknote accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification in the storage unit 5 are not stored cash, proceeds to step S15.
When the bill accumulation status notification and the coin accumulation status notification are stored cash, the process proceeds to step S18.
In this case, since input cash is stored in each cash storage, the process proceeds to step S18.

S18: The main control unit 4 that recognizes that the inserted cash is present in each cash temporary storage unit and that the inserted banknotes are stored in each cash storage, returns the return process to the display screen of the operation display unit 6. A returning screen indicating that the program is being executed is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S19.
S19: The main control unit 4 displaying the returning screen temporarily stores the inserted banknotes and the inserted coins accumulated in the banknote temporary storage unit 14 and the coin temporary storage unit 24 in the banknote storage 15 and the coin storage 25. In order to execute the temporary storage process of cash, an execution command for the temporary storage process of reserved cash is transmitted to the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20.

The control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 that has received the execution command for the temporary storage process of the reserved cash executes the temporary storage process of the inserted banknote temporarily held in the banknote temporary storage unit 14.
That is, the control unit 11 feeds the inserted banknotes (holding banknotes) of the banknote temporary storage unit 14 one by one to the banknote transport path 19 by the feeding mechanism and transports them to the banknote discrimination unit 13, and the gold discriminated by the banknote discrimination unit 13. The banknote storage 15 of a denomination to be stored based on the seed is specified, and the banknote is transported and stored in the banknote storage 15 corresponding to the banknote transport path 19, and the storage area is based on the identified denomination. The number of denominations of the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit 16 is counted by adding “1” to the count number of the denomination in the banknote storage count area of 11a.

  At this time, the reject banknotes at the time of temporary storage, which are discriminated as multi-feeds or the like by the banknote discriminating unit 13, are transported from the banknote discriminating unit 13 to the banknote reject box 17 by the banknote transport path 19 and accumulated, and banknotes are stored in the storage area 11a. The fact that banknotes are accumulated in the reject box 17 is stored. In this case, the count number in the stored banknote count area is returned to the state before the banknote is paid out.

Then, when all the stored banknotes are stored in the banknote storage 15, the banknote temporary storage end notification indicating that the temporary storage of banknotes has been completed is transmitted to the main control unit 4.
In this case, when the temporary storage processing execution command is received, the banknote temporary storage unit 14, the banknote present in the banknote transport path 19 from the banknote temporary storage unit 14 to the banknote storage 15, and the banknote storage 15 are stored. The banknote is handled as a banknote in the apparatus.

In parallel with the temporary storage processing of banknotes, the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 that has received the execution instruction for the storage processing of input cash performs the temporary storage processing of input coins temporarily held in the coin temporary storage unit 24. Run.
That is, the control unit 21 guides the inserted coin (held coin) of the coin temporary storage unit 24 to the transport chute 29b for each denomination by the switching gate 24b, and drops the temporarily stored input coin into the denomination to store the coin. Inserted coins stored in the coin storage unit 16 after being stored in the coin type storage unit 25 and added to the count number of the coin type in the storage coin number count area of the storage area 11a plus the count number of the type of money in the reserved coin number count area Count the number of denominations.

Then, when the storage of all the reserved coins in the coin storage 25 is completed, a notification of the completion of temporary storage of coins indicating that the temporary storage of coins has been completed is transmitted to the main control unit 4.
In this case, when the temporary storage processing execution command is received, the coin temporary storage unit 24, the input coins present in the transport chute 29b from the coin temporary storage unit 24 to the coin storage 25, and the coin storage 25 are stored. The input coin is handled as a coin in the apparatus.

On the other hand, after transmitting the execution command for the temporary storage process of the reserved cash, the reception of the banknote temporary storage end notification from the control unit 11 of the banknote processing unit 10 and the coin temporary storage end notification from the control unit 21 of the coin processing unit 20 are received. When the main control unit 4 has been waiting and has received both temporary storage end notifications, the process proceeds to step S20.
Since the subsequent processing operations in steps S20 to S23 are the same as in the case 1, the description thereof is omitted.
In this way, the deposit process in the linked deposit of the present embodiment is executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the inserted banknote is returned from the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 11 regardless of whether or not the inserted banknote is present in the banknote temporary holding unit 14 in the return processing of the inserted cash in the linked deposit. In the case 1, the inserted coin is from the coin dispensing box 27, in the case 2, from the coin return box 28, in the case 3, from the coin dispensing box 27, and in the case 4, the inserted coin is a coin. Although it exists in the temporary holding unit 24, it is returned from the coin dispensing box 27. Therefore, when the input coin is returned, the cashier person can take out the coins returned from one place. Can be alleviated, and forgetting to return coins at the time of additional insertion in case 4 can be prevented.

  Further, in the case of step S22 of case 1, step S16 of case 2, and step S22 of case 3, a conveyance failure such as a jam is detected by a banknote detection sensor, a coin detection sensor, or the like during the transfer of returned cash, and the banknote processing unit Even if the coin handling unit 20 or the coin processing unit 20 is stopped, as described above, the handling of the cash in each case is either inside the apparatus or outside the apparatus. There is no doubt as to which cash the money belongs to, and there is no mistake in the return destination of the cash.

  However, in the case of case 4, that is, when input cash to be returned is accumulated in the temporary cash holding unit and the cash storage, a conveyance failure such as a jam occurs during the conveyance of the returned banknote in the banknote processing unit 10. In particular, the B portion indicated by a thick solid line in FIG. 2 is a return banknote transported from the banknote temporary storage section 14 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal section 12 and a return banknote transported from the banknote storage 15 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal section 12. In the past, when a transport failure occurs on this shared transport path, the cash input in the temporary cash holding section is handled as cash outside the device, and after the payment is confirmed, Since the input cash stored in the cash storage from the temporary holding section was handled as cash in the device, it was difficult to determine which banknote the maintenance person removed belonged to

  In this case, in the present embodiment, as described in the case 4 above, the input cash of the temporary cash holding unit is temporarily stored in the cash storage, and the input banknote of the temporary cash holding unit is handled as cash in the apparatus. Therefore, even if a transport failure occurs in the shared transport path, the return destination of the cash that caused the failure can be unified in the apparatus, and the return destination of the banknote removed by the maintenance staff is not mistaken.

  In addition, when the input cash is returned from the cash storage (in the case of step S22 of case 1, case 2 and case 4), if a transport failure occurs, it has not been returned to the cashier. As for the cash, the administrator withdraws the unreturned cash from the other cash deposit / withdrawal device 1 etc. in the store and returns it by hand payment agent. In addition, the cash stored in the cash storage unit is automatically counted in each cash processing unit by re-injecting the cash taken out from the cash temporary holding unit and the transport route into the cash depositing unit and storing it in the cash storage unit.

Even if it does in this way, the cash equivalent to the amount of money of a store will exist in the inside of the cash depositing / withdrawing apparatus 1 in a store, and a calculation will not produce | calculate the sales etc. of a store.
When a transport failure occurs during the transport of cash in the temporary storage process of the reserved banknotes described in Step 19 of case 4, the cash present in the temporary cash storage part is instructed by each cash processing part to execute the temporary storage process. Since it is handled as cash in the device from the time it is received, it is treated as described above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, in the deposit process in the linked deposit, when the input cash to be returned to both the cash temporary holding unit and the cash storage is collected, the cash is stored in the cash temporary holding unit.
