When a plurality of checks are taken, the image data of each check is displayed on the operation display unit 600, and input of deposit data and confirmation of deposit data are performed for each check and then stored. It will be. Here, the detailed description of the ticket face confirmation will be described later.

  Then, if the deposit data confirmation operation is performed (step S109; Yes), as shown in FIG. 7, the check temporarily held in the temporary storage unit 20 is conveyed to the position of the second storage unit 30b, The money is stored in the second storage unit 30b (step S111), the deposit data is stored in the storage unit 82 (step S112), and the above series of processing ends.

  On the other hand, if the confirmation operation of the deposit data is not performed and the confirmation operation is canceled (step S109; No), the check is returned from the payout unit 60 (step S110), and the process is terminated. In addition, the description about the process in the case of performing a correction process of payment data is abbreviate | omitted here.

<Configuration of Operation Display Unit 600>
Next, the configuration of the operation display unit 600 will be described. FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the operation display unit 600 shown in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the operation display unit 600 includes a touch panel 605, a communication interface unit 620, a RAM 630, a ROM 640, a storage unit 650, and a control unit 660.

  The control unit 660 includes a CPU or MPU, and loads and executes a program of the control unit 660 including the touch panel control unit 670 from the ROM 640 or the storage unit 650, thereby forming the above-described functional units.

  The touch panel 605 is an input / output device including an inputable liquid crystal panel and the like, and displays images and data and inputs data. The communication interface unit 620 includes each device (the separated bill processing device 100, the bundled bill processing device 200, the separated coin processing device 300, the packaged coin processing device 400, the valuable medium processing device 500, and the printer 700) that forms the money processing system 1. It is an interface unit that exchanges data.

  The RAM 630 is a volatile memory used as a work area for the control unit 660, and the ROM 640 is a memory for storing various programs executed by the control unit 660 (CPU). The storage unit 650 is a device that stores transaction data and the like, and includes a non-volatile memory such as a hard disk device or a flash memory.

  The control unit 660 is a control unit that performs overall control of the operation display unit 600 and includes a touch panel control unit 670 that controls the touch panel 605. The touch panel control unit 670 includes a large character input receiving unit 671, a large character display unit 672, and an amount display unit 673.

  The large character input receiving unit 671 is a processing unit that receives a large character input operation by the operator. Specifically, as shown in the large character input area 610c of FIG. 9, large character input frames (tabs) such as “壱”, “Billion”, and “萬” are displayed on the touch panel 605, and any of the input frames is touched. If so, an input operation for the corresponding large character is accepted.

  The large character display unit 672 is a processing unit that performs display processing for large characters received by the large character input reception unit 671. For example, if a large character “壱 100 壱 阡 400” is accepted, a large character string is displayed in the large character display area 610d shown in FIG. Note that a determination unit is provided for determining whether or not the large character displayed on the large character display unit 672 matches the result of OCR of the large character included in the check image. In addition, a predetermined notification (display or warning sound) can be performed. In addition, knowledge processing is performed on a description rule peculiar to a large character, and the result of this knowledge processing is used to determine whether or not there is any problem, and when it is determined that there is an abnormality, the fact is notified. You can also. For example, the description content of the original check is “100 million four hundred thousand”, and regardless of the result of the OCR, the description content of the check itself is “100 million four hundred thousand” according to the description rule. If the knowledge processing reveals that it should be “萬 壱”, it is also possible to notify the point that “the heel is missing before the heel”.

  The monetary amount display unit 673 is a processing unit that converts the large character string received by the large character input reception unit 671 into a numeric character string and displays the monetary amount. For example, if the capital letter “壱 100 壱 阡 400” is accepted, the amount displayed in numerical amounts is displayed in the amount display area 610e shown in FIG.

<Example of ticket confirmation screen>
Next, the ticket surface confirmation screen displayed on the operation display unit 600 will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a ticket surface confirmation screen displayed on the operation display unit 600. Here, it is assumed that the check to be checked is temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 20 of the valuable medium processing device 500.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the ticket face confirmation screen 610 includes an image display area 610a, an input switching area 610b, a large character input area 610c, a large character display area 610d, an amount display area 610e, and a numeric keypad display area 610f. Although the detailed explanation is omitted here, the bill confirmation screen 610 also displays the type of securities, the exchange number where the check is exchanged, the financial institution number of the check, the branch number, and the like.

  The image display area 610a is a display area for displaying an image of a check imaged by the imaging unit 16 of the valuable medium processing device 500. When image data of a valuable medium other than a check is captured, the captured image is displayed in the image display area 610a.

  The input switching area 610b is an area for switching whether the amount written on the check is input in arithmetic numbers or capital letters. If the operator touches the “numerical number” tab, the amount is entered using the numeric keypad displayed in the numeric keypad display area 610f. On the other hand, when the operator touches the tab “Boji”, the user enters a capital letter using the capital letters displayed in the capital letter input area 610c.

  The large character input area 610c is composed of large character input frames (tabs) such as “壱”, “Billion”, and “萬”. If the operator touches any input frame, the corresponding large-size input operation is accepted. Note that the operator touches the same large letters sequentially while visually recognizing the large amount information included in the check image displayed in the image display area 610a.

  The large character display area 610d is an area for displaying a large character input in the large character input area 610c. In the large character display area 610d, when the large character “壱 100 壱 阡 400” is accepted, the large character string “か か る 100 壱 阡 400” is displayed in the large character display region. Is displayed at 610d. This is to facilitate visual comparison by the operator. Then, the operator compares the display contents of the large character display area 610d with the large amount of money information included in the check image displayed in the image display area 610a, and confirms the match. For this reason, as shown in the drawing, the large character display area 610d is provided in parallel at a position comparable to the image display area 610a (for example, the lower part of the image display area 610a).

  The monetary amount display area 610e is a display area for displaying the monetary amount obtained by converting a large character string input from the large character input area 610c into a numeric character string. For example, if the capital letter “100 million four hundred thousand” is input in the large character input area 610 c, the money amount indicated in the amount display area 610 e as “114,050,001” with an arithmetic number Is displayed.

  The numeric keypad display area 610f is a display area that displays an input frame for arithmetic numbers such as “0”, “1”, and “2”. The reason for providing such a numeric keypad display area 610f is to allow an operator who is familiar with large letters to directly input arithmetic numbers while referring to large letters, as in the prior art.

<Processing procedure when using large key>
Next, a processing procedure when the large key of the operation display unit 600 is used will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the large character key of the operation display unit 600 shown in FIG. 8 is used. Here, it is assumed that an image of a check to be processed is displayed in the image display area 610a of the ticket surface confirmation screen 610, and “Large” is selected in the input switching area 610b.

  As shown in the figure, when the operation display unit 600 receives an input of a large key in the large character input area 610a (step S201; Yes), the operation display unit 600 displays the large character corresponding to the large character display area 610d (step S202). When the input character is not “YA” (step S203; No), the process proceeds to step S201 to input another large character, and when the input character is “YA” (step S203; Yes). ), A large character string is converted into a numerical digit string (step S204). For such conversion, for example, a character conversion table can be used.

  Thereafter, the converted monetary string amount is displayed in the amount display area 610e (step S205), and the input large character string is associated with the image data and stored in the storage unit 650 (step S206).

  By performing the above series of processing, even an operator who is unfamiliar with large letters can input the exact large numbers by simply inputting the same large letters while looking at the large letters on the check sheet. This makes it possible to input the amount efficiently and accurately.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, the case where the presence / absence of a capital letter is determined using “ya” is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other methods such as providing an input end key are provided. It is also possible to adopt.

<Processing procedure when using numeric keys>
Next, a processing procedure when using the numeric keys of the operation display unit 600 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the numeric keys of the operation display unit 600 shown in FIG. 8 are used. Here again, it is assumed that the check image to be processed is displayed in the image display area 610a of the ticket surface confirmation screen 610, and “number” is selected in the input switching area 610b.

  As shown in the figure, when the operation display unit 600 accepts the input of the numeric keypad in the numeric keypad display area 610f (step S301; Yes), the operation display unit 600 displays the number input in the amount display area 610e (step S302). When the input character is not “yen” (step S303; No), the process proceeds to step S301 to input another number, and when the input character is “yen” (step S303; Yes). ), And stores the input numeric character string in association with the image data in the storage unit 650 (step S304).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the operator selects “Large” in the input switching area 610b of the ticket surface confirmation screen 610, and the same large letter displayed in the image display area 610a is displayed in the large character input area 610c. When the input is used, the input large character is displayed in the large character display area 610d, and the large character string is converted into a numerical value and displayed in the amount display area 610e. It is possible to input the amount of money accurately and efficiently simply by performing a check.

<Modification>
By the way, in this embodiment, if “number” is selected in the input switching area 610b of the ticket face confirmation screen 610 and input from the numeric keypad in the numeric keypad display area 610f, the arithmetic numbers are displayed in the amount display area 610e for processing. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, if “number” is selected in the input switching area 610b of the ticket surface confirmation screen 610 (step S10) and input from the numeric keypad in the numeric keypad display area 610f (step S11), The arithmetic numbers are displayed in the monetary amount display area 610e (step S12), the arithmetic numeral string is converted into a large character string, and the converted large character string is displayed in the large character display area 610d (step S13). It can also be configured. In this way, even when a numeric keypad is entered using the numeric keypad, the correctness of the amount can be checked by confirming the match between the large letters included in the check image and the large letters displayed in the large display area 610d. It becomes possible to confirm.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the numeric key is used according to this modification. Here again, it is assumed that the check image to be processed is displayed in the image display area 610a of the ticket surface confirmation screen 610, and “number” is selected in the input switching area 610b.

  As shown in the figure, when the operation display unit 600 accepts the input of the numeric keypad in the numeric keypad display area 610f (step S401; Yes), the operation display unit 600 displays the number input in the amount display area 610e (step S402). If the input character is not “yen” (step S403; No), the process proceeds to step S401 to input another number. When the input character is “yen” (step S403; Yes), the input numeric character string is converted into a large character string (step S404), and the large character string is displayed in the large character display area 610d. After the display (step S405), the numeric string is associated with the image data and stored in the storage unit 650 (step S406).

  In the above embodiment, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the case where the amount of a check is input has been shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is intended for various securities in which the amount is written in large letters. It can be applied to

  In the above embodiment, when the operator inputs a large character, the large character is displayed in the large character display area 610d, and the arithmetic number corresponding to the large character is displayed in the monetary amount display region 610e. When the confirmation button is operated, the large letters included in the image of the check in the image display area 610a are compared with the inputted large letters (including the number of digits check), and if different, the highlight is displayed. You can also. In this case, it is assumed that large characters can be OCR processed from the check image in the image display area 610a. Note that even if a capital letter at a certain location is highlighted, the amount can be determined if the confirmation button is pressed again. This is because there are cases where OCR processing of large letters from images is not accurate.

  The money handling system and the securities processing method of the present invention are useful for efficiently and accurately inputting the amount information of arithmetic numbers that matches the amount written in capital letters of securities such as checks and bills.
