Description

  The present invention relates to a cash automatic machine and its control method.

  For example, in an automatic teller machine such as an ATM (Automated Teller Machine), there is known a technique for enabling a user to withdraw desired amount of money with a denomination and number of money desired by the user (Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-234694

  In the prior art, the user's desired amount of money is first obtained, and then the breakdown of the denomination is specified so as to match the user's desired amount of money. However, in some cases, the minimum amount of banknotes may not be handled by a cash machine. Since the minimum amount of bills is frequently used, the condition is likely to be deteriorated, which may cause a bill jam. Thus, only relatively large denominations may be handled by an automated cash machine, and the smallest denominations may not.

  As a result, even if the user inputs a desired amount, depending on the amount, the cash machine may not be able to withdraw the banknotes as the input amount. If cash can not be dispensed that matches the user's desired amount, the dispensing operation fails, and another dispensing operation is required. As a result, the usability of the user is lowered, and the transaction time per user for the operator of the automatic cash machine becomes long, so the operating efficiency of the automatic cash machine is lowered.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a cash automatic machine capable of improving transaction efficiency and usability, and a control method thereof.

  In order to solve the above problems, a cash automatic machine according to the present invention is a cash automatic machine which dispenses cash in response to a user operation, and is controlled by a control unit and a control unit, and is an information input / output device operable by the user And the control unit is configured to input the number of banknotes into a predetermined number of denominations other than the minimum denomination of money, and the predetermined number input from the number of banknotes input unit. A bill number specification screen including a total amount display section displaying a total amount based on the number of bills of the denomination of money is displayed on the information input / output device, and cash of a predetermined denomination is input to the number of bills input portion Withdraw from the street.

  According to the automatic cash machine according to the present invention, when the user inputs the number of bills in a predetermined denomination, the total amount of money is displayed and the cash of the predetermined denomination is dispensed according to the number of the input bills. be able to.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. The automatic cash machine according to the present embodiment dispenses cash according to the input number when the user inputs the number in a predetermined denomination. That is, in the present embodiment, the amount of money is input first, and then the denomination is not adjusted, but the number of sheets is input first for the denomination and the money is dispensed according to the number of the denomination.

  The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an outline of the automatic cash machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  For example, the automated teller machine 1 configured as an ATM includes, for example, a main body 11, a cash deposit and withdrawal unit 113, an information input / output device 116, and a control unit 121. The outline of the internal configuration of the main body 11 will be described later with reference to FIG. The functional configuration of the cash automatic machine 1 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The information input / output device 116 is a device that exchanges information with the user, and includes an information input unit and an information output unit. Here, the information input / output device 116 is configured as a device in which an information input unit and an information output unit are integrated, such as a display capable of touch operation. For example, the information input unit and the information output unit may be separated, such as a display and a button switch, and a display and an audio input device.

  The information input / output device 116 displays a screen G generated by the control unit 121. The screen G corresponds to the “number of sheets designation screen” or the “first number of sheets designation screen”. The screen G includes, for example, a total amount display portion GP1, a number-of-kinds input button B1 (1), B1 (2), B1 (3), and a confirmation button B2. The number-of-money-type number input buttons B1 (1) to B1 (3) correspond to the "bill number input unit". When the buttons B1 (1) to B1 (3) are not particularly distinguished from one another, they are abbreviated as number-of-golds input button B1. A more detailed screen configuration example will be described later with reference to FIG.

  As described later, the user who desires to dispense pays out the desired number for the denomination and operates the confirmation button B2 by operating the denomination number input button B1. Thereby, the control unit 121 causes the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 to appear the number of bills designated as the denomination.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an outline of a bill management mechanism of the automatic cash machine 1. On the lower side of the main body 11, a recovery unit 111 for accommodating the recovery target banknotes and banknote storage units 112 (1) to 112 (3) of denominations are provided.

  In this embodiment, for example, three types of “100 k”, “50 k” and “20 k” are exemplified as predetermined denominations which are selected in advance from among denominations other than the minimum denomination, but the invention is not limited thereto. And two or more types are sufficient.

  On the upper side of the bill management mechanism in the main body 11, a cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113, a temporary storage unit 114, a discrimination device 115, and a transport unit 117 are provided.

  The cash inserted into the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 is once transported by the transport unit 117 to the temporary storage unit 114 and stored. Thereafter, the cash in the temporary storage unit 114 is transported by the transport unit 117 to the discrimination device 115, and it is discriminated whether it should be collected. It is determined that the counterfeit bills and the highly damaged banknotes should be collected by the discrimination device 115.

  The banknote determined to be collected by the discrimination device 115 is conveyed by the conveyance unit 117 to the collection unit 111 and stored. The banknotes that are legitimate banknotes and have a low degree of damage are transported by the transport unit 117 to the banknote storage unit 112 and stored according to the denomination. The bills which are not to be collected are sent to and stored in the bill storage unit 112 according to the denomination.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an overall outline of a cash transaction system including the cash automatic machine 1. A plurality of cash automatic machines 1 are connected to a host computer (hereinafter, host) 2 via a communication network CN so as to enable two-way communication. The host 2 determines the allowance or withdrawal of the deposit or withdrawal based on the deposit / withdrawal information transmitted from each cash machine 1 via the communication network CN, and sends the result of the determination back to the cash automatic machine 1.

  The functional configuration of the cash automatic machine 1 will be described. The cash dispenser 1 is configured as, for example, a computer system including a control unit 121, a storage unit 122, and a communication unit 123. The control unit 121 controls the overall operation of the automated teller machine 1. The storage unit 122 is configured of, for example, a non-volatile storage device such as a hard disk drive, and stores a computer program executed by the control unit 121, deposit and withdrawal data, and the like. The communication unit 123 communicates with the host 2 by connecting to the communication network CN.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example of a method of using the automated teller machine 1. Here, the deposit operation will be mainly described, but the dispense operation is almost the same.

  The cash automatic machine 1 executes an authentication process by communicating with a user's portable information terminal (including a terminal such as a mobile phone, a so-called smart phone, a mobile phone attached with a non-contact IC tag) 3. The automated teller machine 1 receives a user operation on the information input / output device 116 (S2), acquires cash input by the user from the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 (S3), and performs a deposit process. The automated teller machine 1 inquires of the host 2 about the deposit process and receives an approval from the host 2. Then, the automatic cash machine 1 displays the result of the deposit process on the information input / output device 116, and the result of the deposit process is also notified from the host 2 to the portable information terminal 3 of the user (S4). Similarly, in the case of the dispensing operation, the automatic cash machine 1 notifies the host 2 of information such as the amount of money, receives the approval from the host 2, and receives the user's desired cash the number of banknotes of the denomination desired by the user. Withdraw

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the dispensing operation screen G1. The dispensing operation screen G1 corresponds to the "bill number specification screen". The dispensing operation screen G1 is presented to the information input / output device 116 when the cash machine 1 performs dispensing processing.

  The payment operation screen G1 includes, for example, a total amount display portion GP11, denomination number input buttons B11 (1), B11 (2), B11 (3), a confirmation button B12, a clear button B13, and an Undo button B14. , An Exit button B15, and a total amount specification button B16. The number-of-money-type number input buttons B11 (1) to B11 (3) correspond to the "bill number input unit". When the buttons B11 (1) to B11 (3) are not particularly distinguished, they are abbreviated as number-of-golds input button B11. When the user operates the total amount specification button B16, for example, the screen changes to a screen G2 described later with reference to FIG.

  A user who desires to dispense money can designate a desired number of banknotes of a desired denomination by operating the denomination number input button B11. For example, the case where there are three types of number-of-moneys input button B11 of "100 k", "50 k", and "20 k" will be described.

  When the user operates the "20k" button B11 (3) once, the cash machine 1 causes the total amount display portion GP11 to display "Total: 20k". When the user operates the “20 k” button B11 (3) again, the total amount display part GP11 displays “Total: 40 k”. Further, when the user operates the “100 k” button B11 (1) once, the total amount display portion GP11 is operated as “Total: 140 k”. Further, when the user operates the "50k" button B11 (2) once, the total amount display portion GP11 displays "Total: 190k".

  As described above, the automated teller machine 1 multiplies the denomination by the number of times the number input button B11 is operated and the amount of money of the denomination, and causes the total amount display portion GP11 to display the total value of the denominations and subtotals. In order to reset all input operations, the user may operate the clear button B13. If it is desired to return to the previous operation, the user may operate the Undo button B14. By returning the operation to the previous position, the displayed amount of money of the total amount display portion GP11 also changes. When the user operates the confirmation button B12, the automatic teller machine 1 communicates with the host 2 and obtains approval from the host 2. Then, the automatic cash machine 1 outputs cash from the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 according to the number of bills specified by the user for the denomination.

  As will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, when the number of banknotes of denomination requested by the user is less than a predetermined number of possible withdrawals, the cash automatic machine 1 can not select any more banknotes.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the dispensing process according to the present embodiment. This flowchart shows the outline of the dispensing process, and the order of the steps is not limited to that shown.

  The cash automatic machine 1 executes user authentication, for example, by input of a personal identification number or the like to the information input / output device 116 or communication for authentication with the portable information terminal 3 (S11). Here, the description will be continued assuming that the user authentication is successful.

  The automatic cash machine 1 displays the dispensing operation screen G1 shown in FIG. 6 on the information input / output device 116, and determines whether an operation to increase the number of banknotes is possible (S12). In the example of FIG. 5, it is determined whether it is possible to increase the number of bills by operating the denomination number input button B11.

  For example, among the banknotes stored in the denomination banknote storage unit 112 of the cash machine 1, the number of banknotes is increased for the denomination for which the remaining number is less than the predetermined number of possible withdrawals (S12: NO) The operation is prohibited (S13). Here, the possible number of withdrawals can be calculated, for example, as a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined required number from the remaining number (the possible number of withdrawals = the remaining number−the required number of predetermined).

  When the money type number input button B11 can be operated in the number increase direction (S12: YES), the cash machine 1 acquires a user input (user operation) to the number of money type input button B11 (S14), and the acquired value Are stored (S15).

  The automated teller machine 1 determines whether the user operation for withdrawal has ended (S16). For example, when the confirmation button B12 is operated, it can be determined that the user operation relating to the withdrawal has ended (S16: YES), and the process proceeds to step S17 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user operation has not ended (S16: NO), the process returns to step S12.

  If it is determined that the dispensing operation by the user has ended (S16: YES), the cash automatic machine 1 determines whether dispensing is possible (S17). For example, the automated teller machine 1 inquires whether the host 2 may withdraw money. When approval for withdrawal is obtained from the host 2 (S17: YES), the automatic cash machine 1 dispenses banknotes of each denomination from the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 as the number input by the user in step S14. (S18).

  On the other hand, when the host 2 does not approve the user's withdrawal operation (S17: NO), an error process is executed (S19). In the error processing, for example, an error message such as “insufficient balance” is displayed on the information input / output device 116.

  FIG. 7 is an example of the screen G1 including the button B11 in a state where the user operation is prohibited. As described in steps S12 and S13 of FIG. 6, the cash automatic machine 1 has, for example, a denomination number input button in order to prevent withdrawal of a denomination whose remaining number has become less than a predetermined number of possible withdrawals. Disable the operation of B11. Even if the user operates the button B11 (3) set to the operation prohibition, the cash automatic machine 1 does not acquire the input and does not reflect it on the total amount display part GP11.

  In the example of FIG. 7, the button B 11 (3) of “20 k” is set to the operation prohibition by the automatic cash machine 1. For example, if the user wants a total of "190 k" cash, but can not take out only one sheet because the cash machine 1 is short of "20 k" bills, the button 20 for "20 k" The operation of (3) is prohibited. Therefore, the user can endure with a total of "170 k" of cash or operate the "50 k" button B11 (2) again to make the total amount "220 k". The user can also display a screen G2 shown in FIG. 9 on the information input / output device 116 by operating the total amount specification button B16.

  According to the present embodiment configured as described above, in the automatic teller machine 1 that handles only a plurality of predetermined denominations selected in advance from among the denominations other than the minimum amount of denominations, the denomination is more than the total amount. Cash can be dispensed with priority given to the number of banknotes.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since the user's desired amount of money is realized as the number of banknotes closest to the amount of money, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the dispensing operation will fail, and improve the user's usability and operation efficiency. It can be done.

  According to the present embodiment, for the denomination for which the remaining number is insufficient, the user can specify the number of money that can not be dispensed by the user in order to prohibit the operation of increasing the number of bills on the dispensing operation screen G1. Can be prevented.

  The second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The following embodiments including the present embodiment correspond to modifications of the first embodiment, and therefore, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described. In the present embodiment, when it is not possible to dispense with the amount of money desired by the user, it is possible to designate the number of banknotes of the denomination which can be dispensed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the dispensing process according to the present embodiment. After performing the user authentication (S31), the automatic cash machine 1 displays the payment operation screen G2 shown in FIG. 9 on the information input / output device 116, and acquires the total amount input by the user (S32).

  Please refer to FIG. The dispensing operation screen G2 which is an example of the “total amount specification screen” is a screen on which the user specifies the total amount. The dispensing operation screen G2 includes, for example, a total amount display portion GP21, an error message display portion GP22, a ten key switch B21, a confirmation button B22, and an Exit button B23.

  Return to FIG. When the user inputs a desired amount of money from the ten key switch B21, the automatic teller machine 1 acquires the input amount of money (S32), and causes the total amount display unit GP21 to display the input amount of money.

  The cash machine 1 determines whether the user has finished entering the amount (S33). When the user operates the confirmation button B22, the cash automatic machine 1 can determine that the amount input has ended (S33: YES).

  The cash automatic machine 1 determines whether it is possible to withdraw money from the amount input by the user (S34). The cash automatic machine 1 holds a bill corresponding to the input amount, and determines that dispensing is possible when the host 2's approval is obtained (S34: YES). Then, the automatic cash machine 1 causes the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 to withdraw cash of the amount desired by the user (S35).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the user can not withdraw according to the amount desired by the user (S34: NO), the automated teller machine 1 causes the error message display unit GP22 to display an error message such as "Cannot withdraw". After that, the dispensing operation screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the information input / output device 116 (S36).

  The dispensing operation screen G3 will be described with reference to FIG. The dispensing operation screen G3 is an example of the “second bill number specification screen”. The dispensing operation screen G3 includes, for example, a total amount display portion GP31, denomination number input buttons B31 (1) to (3), a confirmation button B32, and an Exit button B33. The gold classified number input buttons B31 (1) to (3) are referred to as a gold classified number input button B31 unless otherwise specified.

  The number-of-moneys type input button B31 is provided with a number increase button Bu and a number decrease button Bd above and below the display indicating each denomination. When the user operates the number increase button Bu, the banknote of the denomination is increased by one. When the user operates the number decrease button Bd, the denomination of banknotes is decreased by one. The total amount display portion GP31 displays an amount based on the sum of the number of bills input by each number-of-kinds input button B31.

  In FIG. 10, the increase button Bu and the decrease button Bd are shown as white triangles when operable, and as black triangles when inoperable. It may be distinguished whether it can be operated by methods other than triangular black and white.

  Return to FIG. After presenting the screen G3 described in FIG. 10 to the user (S36), the cash automatic machine 1 determines whether the denomination number input button B31 can be operated (can be increased the number of bills) (S37).

  For example, for a denomination whose remaining number is less than the predetermined number of possible withdrawals, the button B31 corresponding to that denomination is not operated (S37: NO). The cash automatic machine 1 prohibits the operation of the button B31 so that the number of bills included in the withdrawal can not be increased (S38). In the example of FIG. 10, the cash automatic machine 1 is set so as not to operate the increase button Bu of the button B31 (3), and notifies the user with a black triangle.

  On the other hand, for example, for the denomination whose remaining number is equal to or more than the predetermined dispensing possible number, the user can operate the button B31 corresponding to the denomination (S37: YES). The cash automatic machine 1 acquires and stores the number of banknotes of the denomination input from the user (S39).

  The automated teller machine 1 determines whether or not the user has finished the input operation of the number of banknotes of denomination (S40). For example, when the confirmation button B32 is operated, the cash automatic machine 1 can determine that the input operation has ended.

  If the cash automatic machine 1 determines that the input operation has not ended (S40: NO), it returns to step S37. If the cash automatic machine 1 determines that the input operation has ended (S40: YES), it determines whether or not the payment can be made according to the number of bills of the denomination input by the user (S41).

  If the automatic teller machine 1 determines that payment can be made by obtaining the approval of the host 2 or the like (S41: YES), the process proceeds to step S35 to execute payment processing. On the other hand, when the automatic teller machine 1 can not obtain the approval of the host 2, it is determined that the withdrawal is impossible (S41: NO), and the error process is executed (S42). In error processing, an error message is displayed on the information input / output device 116.

  The present embodiment configured in this way also achieves the same effects as the first embodiment. According to this embodiment, since the increase button Bu and the number decrease button Bd are prepared, the user can increase or decrease the number of bills according to the denomination. Therefore, the usability of the user is further improved.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, by providing the user with the dispensing operation screen G2 shown in FIG. 9, a desired amount of money can be input, and thereafter, on the screen G3 which can specify the number of bills as the denomination. Make a transition. Therefore, the user can input the number of bills of the desired denomination, for example, using the total amount displayed on the total amount display portion GP21 as a guide.

  Furthermore, this embodiment can also be carried out continuously from the first embodiment. That is, when the user operates total amount specification button B16, transition is made to total amount specification screen G2 of FIG. 9, and when the user operates confirmation button B22 on screen G2, transition is made to withdrawal operation screen G3 shown in FIG. It can also be configured. Furthermore, the dispensing operation screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 may be configured alone. The flow at that time is the flow excluding S32 to S34 in FIG.

  A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, a detailed example of a method of calculating the possible number of dispensed money and the like will be described.

  First, the automatic cash machine 1 authenticates the user from the credit card number inserted into the main body 11 by the user, the password input by the user, etc. (S101).

  After the user authentication, the automatic cash machine 1 confirms the remaining number by type of money a (S102), and confirms the number of margins b as the "predetermined number of required sheets" (S103). It confirms (S104). The money type maximum withdrawal number m is the maximum number of banknotes that can be paid out for the money type. For example, the upper limit (upper limit amount) of the amount of money that can be paid out in one withdrawal process is determined, and the value obtained by dividing the upper limit amount by the par value of each denomination is the maximum number of withdrawals m for that denomination. Become. For example, assuming that the upper limit of the amount of money that can be dispensed in one dispensing process is "500 k", the number of "100 k" banknotes is five (= 500 k / 100 k) and the number of "50 k" banknotes is ten (= 500 k). / 50k), "20k" banknotes can be dispensed up to 25 (= 500k / 25k).

  The cash automatic machine 1 subtracts the margin number b from the remaining number denomination a to calculate the number c (= a−b) of possible withdrawals for the denomination (S105).

  The cash automatic machine 1 sets all of the number-of-money type input buttons to be operable (S106). The automatic cash machine 1 determines whether or not there is a denomination with c = 0 among the number c of money types available for withdrawal by the type of money calculated in step S105 (S107).

  If there is a denomination of c ≦ 0 (S107: YES), that is, if there is a denomination with no bill that can be dispensed, the cash machine 1 can not operate the number of bills of that denomination. (In detail, the number of bills can not be increased) is set (S108).

  With respect to a denomination that can dispense one or more banknotes (S107: NO), the cash automatic machine 1 proceeds to step S109 without restricting the button operation.

  The automatic cash machine 1 sets “0” to the number of money to be dispensed d by type (S109), calculates the total amount (S110), and displays the calculated total amount on the screen (S111). Here, since the process has just started, the total amount is displayed as "0".

  The cash machine 1 determines whether the clear button has been operated (S112). If the cash automatic machine 1 determines that the clear button has been operated (S112: YES), the total amount of money is erased and the process returns to step S106.

  Subsequently, the automatic cash machine 1 determines whether the Exit button has been operated (S113). If the cash automatic unit 1 determines that the Exit button has been operated (S113: YES), it proceeds to step S120 and executes post-processing.

  In the post-processing, for example, a shutter (not shown) of the cash depositing / dispensing unit 113 is closed, it is confirmed whether a bill remains on the transport unit 117, or damage among the bills stored in the temporary storage unit 114 is severe. A predetermined process such as transferring a bill to the collection unit 111 or leaving a record indicating that the dispensing process has been completed is performed.

  The cash automatic machine 1 determines whether the denomination number input button has been operated (S114), and when operated (S114: YES), the number of dispensed coins d of the operated denomination is incremented by one (S115).

  In the cash machine 1, whether the number of withdrawals d matches the number of possible withdrawals c (d = c) or whether the number of withdrawals d matches the maximum number of withdrawals m for the operated denomination (d It is determined whether it corresponds to at least one of d = m) (S116).

  If it is determined that the automatic cash machine 1 does not correspond to the stop condition (d = c or d = m) to be inspected in step S116 (S116: NO), the process returns to step S110. On the other hand, if the cash automatic machine 1 determines that the stop condition of step S116 is met (S116: YES), the number of banknotes of the denomination corresponding to the stop condition can not be operated (cannot be increased). , Restrict the operation of the number input button of the denomination (S117). After restricting (prohibiting) the button operation for inputting the number of banknotes of the denomination corresponding to the stop condition, the automatic cash machine 1 returns to step S110. After calculating the total amount in step S110, the automatic cash machine 1 determines whether there is a denomination exceeding the difference between the upper limit amount and the total amount (S110a), and if there is a corresponding denomination, the denomination The operation of the number input button of the denomination is restricted (S 110 b) so that the number of banknotes of can not be operated (cannot be increased).

  If the cash automatic machine 1 determines in step S118 that the denomination number input button is not operated (S118: NO), it determines whether the confirmation button is operated (S119). If the confirmation button is not operated (S119: NO), the process returns to step S111.

  If the cash automatic machine 1 determines that the confirmation button has been operated (S118: YES), the approval of the host 2 is accepted in the same manner as in the first embodiment, etc., according to the number of withdrawals d of the denomination counted in step S115. After confirming that the money can be paid out by earning etc, cash is paid out from the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 113 (S119).

  Then, the cash machine 1 performs the post-processing (S120), and ends the present process. The present embodiment configured in this way also achieves the same effects as the first embodiment.

  A fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, in the dispensing operation screen G1a, the sheet number counter GP12 (1) to (3) is associated with the number-of-kinds input button B11 (1) to (3).

  The dispensing operation screen G1a shown in FIG. 12 is the same as the dispensing operation screen G1 described in FIG. 5 except for the number counters GP12 (1) to (3), and thus further description will be omitted.

  The present embodiment configured in this way also achieves the same effects as the first embodiment. Furthermore, since the dispensing operation screen G1a of the present embodiment has the sheet number counter GP12 (1) to (3), the user can easily confirm how many denominations of banknotes have been requested and usability is improved.
