<1-1. Basic configuration>
First, the basic configuration of the cash transaction apparatus 10 common to each embodiment of the present invention will be described. The cash transaction apparatus 10 is an apparatus having a deposit function, such as a deposit / withdrawal machine. The cash transaction apparatus 10 can be installed in a backyard of a store such as a retail store or a supermarket.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an external configuration of a cash transaction apparatus 10 common to the embodiments. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the cash transaction apparatus 10 common to the embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2, the cash transaction apparatus 10 includes a banknote insertion unit 100, a banknote discrimination unit 104, a banknote temporary storage unit 106, a ten thousand ticket cassette 108 a, a five thousand ticket cassette 108 b, a thousand ticket cassette 108 c, and a sales collection cassette 110. , Reject unit 112, coin insertion unit 120, coin discrimination unit 122, coin temporary storage unit 124, coin return box 126, dispensing hopper 128, coin dispensing box 130, card reader unit 140, operation display unit 142, sealing unit 144, a receipt printer unit 146, and a control unit 150.

  The bill insertion unit 100 accepts the insertion of bills by a user (operator or the like). The bill insertion unit 100 is provided with an opening, and as shown in FIG. 1, a bill shutter 102 for opening and closing the opening is provided in the bill insertion unit 100. The banknote shutter 102 may be a member that slides between a position that covers the opening and a position that opens the entire opening.

  The opening is opened only when cash is inserted (that is, the opening is not closed by the banknote shutter 102), and is closed except when cash is inserted (that is, the opening is the banknote shutter). (Closed by 102). For example, when cash is inserted, first, the control unit 150 controls the banknote shutter 102 so that the opening of the banknote insertion unit 100 changes from the closed state to the open state (for example, moves the banknote shutter 102). And after cash is thrown in, the control part 150 controls the banknote shutter 102 so that the said opening part may be closed from an open state (for example, the banknote shutter 102 is moved).

  Moreover, the banknote insertion part 100 is also a banknote outlet. For example, banknotes withdrawn by a withdrawal transaction, banknotes rejected as not normal by the banknote discriminating unit 104 described later, and the like are discharged to the banknote insertion unit 100.

  The banknote discrimination unit 104 discriminates whether or not the banknote inserted from the banknote insertion unit 100 is a normal banknote (correct ticket), the denomination of the banknote, and the like using various sensors. For example, the control unit 150 to be described later counts the number of denominations of banknotes that have been identified as genuine bills based on the results of the discrimination.

  The coin discriminating unit 122 discriminates whether or not the coin inserted from the coin inserting unit 120 is a normal coin, the denomination of the coin, and the like using various sensors. For example, the control unit 150 counts the number of coin types identified as normal coins based on the result of the discrimination.

  Coins are temporarily accumulated in the coin temporary storage unit 124 at the time of depositing. For example, at the time of deposit transaction, the coins identified by the coin discrimination unit 122 as being normal coins are temporarily accumulated in the coin temporary storage unit 124.

  The coin return box 126 is a place where coins input from the coin input unit 120 are returned. For example, coins identified by the coin discrimination unit 122 that are not normal coins are discharged to the coin return box 126. Further, when the deposit is canceled after the coin is inserted, the inserted coin is discharged to the coin return box 126.

  The withdrawal hopper 128 is a place where the withdrawal reserve coins are stored. For example, in the deposit transaction, the coins temporarily accumulated in the coin temporary holding unit 124 are transported to the dispensing hopper 128 and stored. Further, at the time of the withdrawal transaction, for example, a number of coins corresponding to the withdrawal amount are taken out from the withdrawal hopper 128 and conveyed to the coin dispensing box 130.

  The coin dispensing box 130 is a place where coins are dispensed during a withdrawal transaction. For example, the coin dispensing box 130 is a drawer-type box provided with a coin-type coin storage area, and the coins to be dispensed are stored in a corresponding area for each denomination.

  The card reader unit 140 reads information stored in the predetermined card from a predetermined card (for example, an IC card or an ID card) that is contacted or approached. For example, when a predetermined card is held over the card reader unit 140 by the user, the card reader unit 140 displays the identification information of the user who uses the card, information indicating the type of transaction permitted for the user, and the like.
