In this example, the setting unit 51 is configured to set (or change) the specific currency determination condition in accordance with an operation given to the operation unit 40 (that is, information input to the operation unit 40). The specific currency determination condition indicates which type of banknote (money) should be determined to correspond to a predetermined specific banknote (specific currency). A specific banknote corresponds to the banknote made into the object of a process. In this example, the specific banknote corresponds to a reject ticket (reject money). The reject ticket corresponds to a bill conveyed to a predetermined reject unit (in this example, the reject stacker 12).

  In this example, the specific currency determination condition includes a first determination condition indicating which banknote corresponding to which detriment factor of which denomination should correspond to the specific banknote, and an old ticket of which denomination ( A second determination condition indicating whether it is determined that the old currency) corresponds to the specific banknote, and a third determination indicating whether it is determined that the non-readable money of the denomination (unreadable currency) corresponds to the specific banknote Including requirements. The unreadable ticket is a banknote whose serial number cannot be read by the identification unit 21. Specifically, the setting unit 51 includes a first determination table indicating the first determination condition as illustrated in FIG. 4, and a second determination indicating the second determination condition and the third determination condition as illustrated in FIG. 5.

Then, it should be determined (whether it should be determined that it corresponds to a non-performing ticket). In the example of FIG. 4, “RJ” indicates a reject banknote (an example of a specific banknote). For example, in the example of FIG. 4, a banknote whose denomination corresponds to “yuan 5 of renminbi” and whose cause of damage is “hole deficit” should be determined to correspond to “specific loss ticket (reject ticket)”. Banknotes with a denomination corresponding to “yuan 5 yuan” and a damage factor corresponding to “folded edge” are determined to be “banknotes” (“specific banknotes (rejected tickets) ) "Notes that should not be determined to fall under") ".

  In addition, in the second determination table (second determination condition) shown in FIG. 5, should an old ticket be determined to correspond to a specific banknote or not to be determined to correspond to a specific banknote for each denomination ( It should be judged as an old ticket). In the example of FIG. 5, “RJ” indicates that the old ticket of the denomination should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, and the hyphen indicates that the old ticket of the denomination corresponds to the specific banknote. This means that it should not be judged (it should be judged that it is an old ticket).

  Further, the second determination table (third determination condition) shown in FIG. 5 should not be determined as a non-readable ticket corresponding to a specific banknote or a specific banknote for each denomination. (Whether it should be determined that the ticket cannot be read). In the example of FIG. 5, “RJ” indicates that the denomination of the denomination should be determined to be a specific banknote, and the hyphen indicates that the denomination of the denomination is a specific banknote. This indicates that it should not be determined to be applicable (it should be determined to be a non-readable ticket).

  Moreover, the setting part 51 is comprised so that the setting screen (setting screen for setting specific money conditions) as shown in FIG. 6 may be displayed on the operation part 40 (operation part 40 which also serves as a display part). Yes.

<Steps ST106 and ST107>
Next, the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the identifying unit 21 has identified that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a genuine note (ST106). If the identification unit 21 does not identify that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a genuine note, the determining unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a genuine note and proceeds to step ST201.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 21 does not identify that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a genuine note, the determination unit 52 determines the specific currency determination condition set in the setting unit 51 and the determination target identified by the identification unit 21. Based on the denomination of the banknote and the damage factor, it is determined whether or not the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote (ST107). When the banknote to be determined is not a banknote that should be determined to be a specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a non-performing banknote, and proceeds to step ST201. On the other hand, when it is determined that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Steps ST201 and ST202>
After it is determined in step ST106 (or step ST107) that the banknote to be determined is a genuine note (or a damaged ticket), the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the banknote to be determined corresponds to a new ticket in the identification unit 21. Is determined (ST201). When the identification unit 21 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a new ticket, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a new ticket, and the process proceeds to step ST301.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 21 does not identify that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the new ticket, the determination unit 52 determines the specific currency determination condition set in the setting unit 51 and the determination target identified by the identification unit 21. It is determined whether or not the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote based on the denomination and old and new of the banknote (ST202). When the banknote to be determined is not a banknote to be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the old banknote, and proceeds to step ST301. On the other hand, when it is determined that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Steps ST301 and ST302>
After it is determined in step ST201 (or step ST202) that the banknote to be determined is a new ticket (or old ticket), the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the serial number of the banknote to be determined has been read by the identification unit 21. (ST301). When the serial number of the banknote to be determined is read by the identification unit 21, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a readable ticket (a banknote from which the serial number has been read), and proceeds to step ST401.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 21 cannot read the serial number of the banknote to be determined, the determination unit 52 determines the specific currency determination condition set in the setting unit 51 and the money of the banknote to be determined identified by the identification unit 21. It is determined whether or not the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote based on whether or not the serial number of the banknote to be determined can be read in the seed and the identification unit 21 (ST302). When the banknote to be determined is not a banknote to be determined to be a specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a non-readable ticket (a banknote whose serial number could not be read), and the process proceeds to step ST401. . On the other hand, when it is determined that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Step ST401>
Next, the control unit 53 controls the conveyance of the banknote to be determined by the conveyance unit 30 according to the identification result of the identification unit 21 and the determination result of the determination unit 52. In this example, when it is determined by the determination unit 52 that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote (in this example, a reject ticket), the control unit 53 is conveyed to the reject stacker 12. The conveyance of banknotes by the conveyance unit 30 is controlled. In addition, when the determination unit 52 does not determine that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote (in this example, the reject ticket), the control unit 53 determines that the determination target banknote is the first non-binding stacker 13 or the second non-binding stacker 13. The conveyance of the banknotes by the conveyance unit 30 is controlled so as to be conveyed to any one of the binding stacker 14, the first binding stacker 15, and the second binding stacker 16.

  In addition, conveyance abnormality determination (step ST102), size abnormality determination (step ST103), denomination abnormality determination (step ST104), authenticity abnormality determination (step ST105), damage determination (steps ST106 and ST107), old and new determination (step The order of ST201, ST202) and readability determination (steps ST301, ST302) is not limited to the order shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and can be in any order.

[Specific example of operation by banknote processing device]
Next, the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 1 will be described with a specific example. Here, it is assumed that the banknote types are assigned to the reject stacker 12, the first and second non-bundling stackers 13, 14, and the first and second bundling stackers 15, 16.

Reject stacker 12: Specific banknote (reject ticket)
First unbound stacker 13: 100 yuan genuine note Second unbound stacker 14: banknote other than 100 yuan First bundle stacker 15: 100 yuan non-use note Second union stacker 16: 100 yuan non-use note In the judgment conditions, “banknotes whose denomination corresponds to 100 yuan and damage factor corresponds to partial tape and full surface tape” and “banknotes whose denomination corresponds to 50 yuan and damage factor corresponds to partial tape and full surface tape” It is assumed that “banknote to be performed” is “banknote to be determined as corresponding to a specific banknote (rejected banknote)”, and banknotes other than these are “banknote to be determined to be applicable to a non-payable banknote”.

  In this case, 100 yuan genuine bills are conveyed to the first non-binding stacker 13 and accumulated. A 100-yuan tape ticket (a banknote with a part or all of the tape) is determined by the determination unit 52 to correspond to a specific banknote (reject ticket). The specific money is not subjected to the counting process, the classification process, or the bundling process, and is transported to the reject stacker 12 and returned. On the other hand, a non-performing tape ticket different from the 100 yuan tape ticket (100 yuan non-performing ticket whose damage factor does not correspond to the partial tape and the full surface tape) is determined by the determination unit 52 to be a non-performing ticket, and the first binding stacker 15 (Or the second bundling stacker 16) is conveyed and accumulated.

  Also, the original 50-yuan bill is conveyed to the second non-binding stacker 14 and accumulated. The 50-yuan tape ticket is determined by the determination unit 52 to correspond to a specific banknote (reject ticket). The specific money is not subjected to the counting process, the classification process, or the bundling process, and is transported to the reject stacker 12 and returned. On the other hand, a non-50 yuan tape ticket different from a 50 yuan tape ticket (50 yuan non-damaged ticket whose cause of damage does not correspond to partial tape and full surface tape) is determined by the determination unit 52 to be a non-bonded ticket, and the second unbound stacker 14 to be collected.

  In this way, while 100 yuan and 50 yuan tape tickets are excluded from processing, it is possible to process a non-use ticket different from 100 yuan and 50 yuan tape tickets. In other words, the control unit 53 is a banknote corresponding to the denomination corresponding to the damage factor different from the damage factor corresponding to the specific banknote in the determination unit 52 (specifically, the banknote corresponding to the denomination of the specific banknote). And the banknote determined to correspond to the damage factor corresponding to the damage factor different from the damage factor corresponding to the specific banknote is different from the transport destination of the specific banknote (in this example, the reject stacker 12). It is comprised so that conveyance of the banknote by the conveyance part 30 may be controlled so that it may be conveyed to a conveyance destination (in this example, either the 2nd unbinding stacker 14, the 1st binding stacker 15, or the 2nd binding stacker 16). ing.

[Effects of Embodiment 1]
As described above, the specific currency determination condition including the first determination condition indicating which banknote corresponding to which detriment factor of which denomination should be determined to be the specific banknote, and the banknote identified by the identification unit 21 The handling of the specific banknote (whether the banknote is handled as the predetermined specific banknote) is made by determining whether the banknote corresponds to the predetermined specific banknote based on the new type and the damage factor. It can be set according to type and damage factor. For example, a banknote (high-priced tape ticket) in which the denomination corresponds to a relatively high denomination and the cause of damage corresponds to a partial tape or full-face tape is handled as a specific banknote (for example, a reject ticket), while the denomination is A banknote corresponding to a relatively low denomination can be handled as a damaged ticket even if the cause of damage of the banknote corresponds to a partial tape or a full-face tape. Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can be improved.

  In addition, the handling of a specific banknote is handled by treating it as a banknote that is not subject to processing (for example, a banknote that is not subject to counting processing, classification processing, or bundling processing, in this example, a reject bill). It can be the same handling as the bills taken outside.

  In addition, the banknote determined by the determination unit 52 to correspond to a loss ticket corresponding to a damage factor different from the damage factor corresponding to the specific banknote is different from the reject stacker 12 (an example of a rejection unit). By controlling the conveyance of the banknotes by the conveyance unit 30 so as to be conveyed first, the handling of the specific banknotes can be set to a handling different from the handling of the damaged coins.

  In addition, the denomination and old and new denominations of the banknotes identified by the identification unit 21, the denominations of specific denominations including the second determination condition indicating whether or not the denominations of the denominations should be determined to correspond to the specific banknotes By determining whether a banknote corresponds to a specific banknote based on it, handling of a banknote can be set according to money type and old and new. Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can further be improved.

  In addition, a specific currency determination condition including a third determination condition indicating whether or not a denomination of a denomination is to be determined as a specific banknote, and a denomination and an identification unit of the banknote identified by the identification unit 21 By determining whether or not the banknote corresponds to the specific banknote based on whether or not the banknote serial number can be read in 21, the handling of the banknote can be set according to the denomination of the money type and the banknote serial number. Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can further be improved.

  Further, the reject stacker 12 (an example of a reject unit) constitutes a storage unit for storing banknotes, whereby a specific banknote (reject ticket) can be stored in the storage unit.

  Moreover, the specific currency determination condition can be arbitrarily set by providing the setting unit 51 configured to set the specific currency determination condition. Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can further be improved.

It may be configured to (or change).

  The specific currency judgment condition for each business indicates which banknote (money) corresponding to which damage factor is to be determined to correspond to a predetermined specific banknote (specific currency) in which business. The true / false identification setting condition indicates in which business the authenticity identification should be performed. The denomination identification setting condition indicates in which business the denomination identification level should be set to the normal level or the mitigation level. Specifically, the setting unit 51 has a control table showing business-specific specific currency determination conditions, authenticity identification setting conditions, and denomination type setting conditions as shown in FIG.

  The control table shown in FIG. 9 (specific currency judgment condition for each business) is that a banknote should be determined to correspond to a specific banknote (in this example, a rejected banknote) for each business and for each damage factor. It should indicate whether or not it should be judged (whether or not it should be judged as a stipend). In the example of FIG. 9, “RJ” indicates a reject banknote (an example of a specific banknote). For example, in the example of FIG. 9, banknotes whose business corresponds to “payout” and whose cause of damage is “hole deficit” are defined as “banknotes to be determined to correspond to a specific loss ticket (rejected ticket)”. Banknotes that correspond to "deposits" and whose cause of damage is "hole deficit" should be judged to be "banknotes that should be judged to be banknotes (banknotes that should not be judged to be specific banknotes (reject tickets)" ) ”.

  The control table (true / false discrimination determination condition) shown in FIG. 9 indicates whether or not the true / false discrimination should be performed for each business. In the example of FIG. 9, a circle indicates that authenticity should be identified in the business, and a hyphen indicates that authenticity should not be performed in the business.

  The control table (denomination identification determination condition) shown in FIG. 9 indicates whether the denomination identification level should be set to the normal level or the mitigation level for each business. In the example of FIG. 9, a circle indicates that the denomination identification level should be set to the normal level in the business, and a triangle indicates that the denomination identification level is relaxed in the business. Indicates that the level should be set.

<Modification of control unit>

Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can be improved.

  Moreover, based on the authenticity identification setting condition which shows whether authenticity should be identified in which work, and the work information (information which shows the work performed using a banknote processing apparatus) set in the setting part 51. By setting the necessity of authenticity identification in the identification unit 21, the necessity of authenticity identification can be set for each business. Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can be improved.

  Further, the denomination identification determination condition indicating which denomination identification level should be set to the normal level or the mitigation level in which business, and the business information set in the setting unit 51 (performed using the banknote processing apparatus) By setting the identification level of denomination identification in the identification unit 21 to either the normal level or the mitigation level based on the business information), the denomination identification level can be set for each business. Thereby, the setting freedom degree of handling of a banknote can be improved.

  In addition, by providing the setting unit 51 configured to set the business-specific specific currency determination condition, the authenticity identification setting condition, and the denomination identification setting condition, the business-specific specific currency determination condition, the authenticity identification setting condition, The denomination identification setting condition can be arbitrarily set.

  In addition, when both the specific currency determination conditions (conditions including the first determination condition, the second determination condition, and the third determination condition) and the business-specific specific currency determination conditions are set, the control unit 53 determines the specific currency determination conditions. It is preferable to control the conveyance of banknotes by the conveyance unit 30 in preference to the business-specific specific currency determination condition. For example, the control unit 53 indicates that the determination result based on the business-specific specific currency determination condition indicates that the banknote to be determined corresponds to a non-performing bill, while the determination result based on the specific currency determination condition indicates that the banknote to be determined is When it shows that it corresponds to a specific banknote, it is preferable that it is comprised so that it may determine with the banknote of judgment object corresponding to a non-payment. Moreover, when business information is not set in the setting part 51, the control part 53 controls conveyance of the banknote by the conveyance part 30 based on specific money determination conditions.
