In order to use the technique described in Patent Document 1 to set a reference value for determining whether or not a banknote is a non-defective banknote to an appropriate value, for example, a banknote to be regarded as a non-banknote or a regular banknote. It is necessary to insert the deemed banknotes into the paper leaf processing device, measure the degree of damage to the banknotes, and adjust the reference value to an appropriate value while comparing the degree of damage with the banknotes. However, it is difficult to intuitively grasp the degree of damage actually received by banknotes. In particular, since there are multiple types of damage, it is difficult to intuitively grasp the correspondence between each type of damage and the reference value. Therefore, in order to set the reference value to an appropriate value, proficiency is required.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a paper leaf processing apparatus and a setting method capable of easily setting a reference value for sorting banknotes according to the degree of damage to an appropriate value.

Hereinafter, examples of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the banknote sorter according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the banknote sorter shown in FIG. The banknote sorter 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a paper leaf processing device that performs scrutiny processing on banknotes that are paper leaves and sorts the banknotes into any of a plurality of categories according to the processing result of the scrutiny processing. Is. The scrutiny process is a positive / loss sorting process that sorts banknotes into regular banknotes that can be circulated without problems and non-banknotes that have been damaged so much that they are inappropriately circulated, depending on the degree of damage to the banknotes. including.

The banknote sorter 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a hopper unit 110, a discrimination unit 120, a pocket 130, a reject pocket 140, a distribution gate 150, and a display input unit 160. There may be a plurality of pockets 130 and reject pockets 140. In FIG. 2, there are four pockets 130 and two reject pockets 140. When it is necessary to distinguish between the four pockets 130, they are referred to as pockets 130A to 130D, and when it is necessary to distinguish between the two reject pockets 140, they are referred to as reject pockets 140A to 140B.

The hopper unit 110 is an insertion unit into which the bill S is inserted. The bills S inserted into the hopper 110 are fed out one by one by the bill feeding section 220 described later, and the fed bills S are sequentially conveyed by the bill carrying section 230 described later.

The discrimination unit 120 acquires discrimination information for sorting (discriminating) the banknote S from the banknote S transported from the hopper unit 110. Specifically, the discrimination unit 120 has various sensors such as a visible light sensor that acquires a reflected image and a transmitted image of the bill S by visible light, and a reading sensor that acquires invisible security information that cannot be confirmed with the naked eye. Then, the identification information is acquired based on the sensor information acquired by those sensors. The security information can be acquired by using infrared light, ultraviolet light, magnetism, or the like.

The identification information includes the degree of damage, which is a numerical value indicating the degree of damage (damage) of the bill S. There are a plurality of items (types) in the damage of the bill S, and the degree of damage is acquired for each item. The degree of damage increases as the damage increases (that is, the greater the deviation from the original state without damage). Items include, for example, holes, tears, stains, stains, graffiti and information damage. Information damage includes information loss that is not in the place where security information should be (where it is in undamaged banknotes) due to loss of magnetic information, and places where security information should not be (damaged). Information is added by adding a fluorescent agent or the like to a place that is not found in non-banknotes.

The pocket 130 and the reject pocket 140 are storage units for storing bills S transported from the hopper unit 110. The pocket 130 stores banknotes S according to the sorting result by the discrimination unit 120. The reject pocket 140 stores reject tickets such as banknotes S for which discrimination information could not be obtained by the discrimination unit 120 and banknotes S for which the carrying posture was poor and could not be put in the pocket 130.

The sorting gate 150 is a device for sorting the conveyed bill S into either the pockets 130A to 130D or the reject pockets 140A to 140B.

The display input unit 160 has a function as a display unit for displaying various information and a function as an input unit for receiving various information according to an operation from a user who uses the bill sorter 100.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control system of the banknote sorter 100. In FIG. 3, as a control system for the bill sorter 100, a discrimination unit 120, a distribution gate 150, a display input unit 160, a control unit 200, a storage unit 210, a bill feeding unit 220, and a bill transporting unit 230 are used. It is shown. The display input unit 160 includes a display unit 161 for displaying various information and an input unit 162 for receiving various information according to an operation from the user.

The control unit 200 is a control unit that controls each part of the bill sorter 100. The control unit 200 is, for example, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and by executing a program that defines the operation of the processor, various processes related to the control of each part of the banknote sorter 100 are performed. For example, the control unit 200 performs a sorting process of sorting the bill S into any of a plurality of categories based on the discrimination information acquired by the discrimination unit 120, and uses the sorting gate 150 to perform the sorting process result. The bill S is stored in either the pockets 130A to 130D or the reject pockets 140A to 140B. Further, the control unit 200 also performs a process of displaying the information corresponding to the discrimination information acquired by the discrimination unit 120 on the discrimination unit 120 on the display unit 161. The sorting process includes, for example, a denomination determination process, a counting process, an authenticity determination process, a direction detection process, a positive / loss sorting process, and the like.

The storage unit 210 is composed of a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like, and stores a program that defines the operation of the control unit 200, control data for the control unit 200 to control each unit, and the like. To do. The control data includes, for example, a reference value for sorting the banknote S in the sorting process, and distribution destination information indicating the relationship between the processing result of the sorting process and the pocket 130 or the reject pocket 140 for storing the banknote S.

The bill feeding unit 220 pays out the bills S inserted into the hopper unit 110 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 one by one. The banknote transport unit 230 transports the banknote S unwound by the banknote feeding unit 220 to the pocket 130 or the reject pocket 140 through the discriminating unit 120.

In the banknote sorter 100 described above, when the user inserts (loads) the banknote S into the hopper section 110, the banknotes S are separated one by one by the banknote feeding section 220 and fed out to the transport path T, and then the banknotes are transported. It is transported to the discrimination unit 120 by the unit 230. The discrimination unit 120 acquires and outputs the discrimination information from the bill S.

The control unit 200 performs a sorting process for sorting the bill S into any of a plurality of categories based on the discrimination information from the discrimination unit 120 and the reference value stored in the storage unit 210. The control unit 200 determines the pocket 130 or the reject pocket 140 for storing the bill S based on the processing result of the sorting process and the distribution destination information stored in the storage unit 210, and controls the distribution gate 150. Then, the bill S is stored in the determined pocket 130 or the reject pocket 140.

In this embodiment, the identification information includes a damage degree which is a numerical value indicating the degree of damage of the bill S, and the control unit 200 sorts the bill S based on the damage degree as a sorting process. I do.

In the positive / loss sorting process, the control unit 200 compares the degree of damage with the reference value stored in the storage unit 210, and sorts the bill S into regular bills or non-loss bills. For example, when the degree of damage is less than the reference value, the control unit 200 determines the bill S as a regular bill, and when the degree of damage is greater than or equal to the reference value, determines the bill S as a non-defective bill. The control unit 200 distributes the bill S to any of the pockets 130A to 130D based on the sorting result and the distribution destination information stored in the storage unit 210. For example, when the distribution destination information is set to store the regular bills in the pockets 130A and 130B and the non-defective bills in the pockets 130C and 130D, the control unit 200 pockets the bill S determined to be the regular bill. It is distributed to 130A or 130B, and the banknote S determined to be a non-lossy banknote is distributed to the pockets 130C or 130D.

Further, in the positive / loss sorting process, the banknote S may be sorted into three or more categories. For example, the control unit 200 may sort the bill S into a non-loss bill, a regular bill, and an ATM bill that is suitable for loading into an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) or the like and has almost no damage. In this case, the regular bill is a bill that has less damage than the non-loss bill and has more damage than the ATM bill, and the reference value is the first reference value for sorting the non-loss bill and the regular bill. , Includes a second reference value for sorting regular banknotes and ATM banknotes.

The reference value may be set for each applicable range indicating the banknote to which the reference value is applied. The scope of application includes, for example, all currencies, coins of a specific currency (for example, Japanese yen), coins of a specific denomination (for example, 10,000 yen bill), and a specific series (for example, 10,000 yen bill). E-ticket (a series of 10,000-yen bills issued after 2004, the fifth after the war)). In this case, the discrimination unit 120 acquires the type (currency, denomination and series) of the bill S as the discrimination information based on the sensor information, and the control unit 200 sets the type of the bill S included in the discrimination information. Performs positive / loss sorting processing based on the corresponding reference value.

Further, when the discrimination unit 120 acquires the damage degree for each damage item, the control unit 200 obtains, for example, the total damage degree which is an integrated numerical value according to the damage degree of each item, and the total damage degree and the reference value. The banknote S is sorted based on. The total damage degree is the sum of each damage degree or the weighted sum.

Hereinafter, the process of setting the reference value of the positive / loss sorting process will be described. In the following, the banknote S will be classified into one of three categories: ATM banknote, regular banknote, and non-banknote banknote.

When setting the reference value of the positive / loss sorting process, the control unit 200 shifts to the maintenance setting mode, which is a specific mode for setting the reference value. For example, when the input unit 162 receives a transition request from the user to shift to the maintenance setting mode, the control unit 200 shifts to the maintenance setting mode.

In the maintenance setting mode, when the banknote S is inserted into the hopper 110, the control unit 200 conveys the banknote S to the discrimination unit 120 using the banknote feeding unit 220 and the banknote transport unit 230, and the front and back sides of the banknote S A banknote image, which is an image, is acquired, and the degree of damage received by the banknote S from the banknote image is acquired for each item. The banknote image does not have to be the entire banknote S as long as it shows the damaged portion of the banknote S.

The control unit 200 displays a damage notification screen including the bill image acquired by the identification unit 120 and the damage information indicating the degree of damage acquired by the identification unit 120 on the display unit 161. At that time, when the damage of the bill S includes information damage related to invisible information, the control unit 200 performs visible processing on the bill image according to the degree of damage of the information damage. Processing includes synthesizing an image showing damage (for example, a predetermined mark) with a damaged part of the banknote image, and changing the color of the damaged part of the banknote image. Be done. In this case, the larger the degree of damage, the larger the image showing the damage or the larger the area where the color is changed. Further, the damage information may indicate the degree of damage itself, or may indicate a value obtained by standardizing the degree of damage within a predetermined range (for example, 0 to 99).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a damage notification screen. The damage notification screen 400 shown in FIG. 4 includes a bill image 401 on the front side of the bill S, a bill image 402 on the back side of the bill S, and damage information 411-413. The front side of the banknote S in the figure has stains and graffiti, and the banknote image 401 on the front side shows the stains and scribbles as they are as stains 451 and scribbles 452. ing. Further, the back surface of the banknote S has a magnetic information loss (Magnetic loss), which is information damage, and the banknote image 402 on the back surface is synthesized with visual information 453 that visually indicates the loss of magnetic information. ing. In the example shown in the figure, the visual information 453 is a mark (explosion mark) that increases as the degree of damage (degree of loss of magnetic information) increases. Information similar to the visual information 453 is synthesized not only when the magnetic information is lost but also when the infrared information and the ultraviolet information are lost or added.

The damage information 411 to 413 corresponds to any of the damages (stain 451, draft 452, and visual information 453) shown in the bill images 401 and 402, respectively, and is displayed in the vicinity of the corresponding damage. The damage information 411 to 413 includes the damage degree of the corresponding damage and the maximum value of the damage degree. Here, the degree of damage indicated by the damage information 411 to 413 is standardized to a value from 0 to 99.

After the damage notification screen is displayed, when the input unit 162 receives the setting instruction for setting the reference value, the control unit 200 sets the reference value in the storage unit 210 based on the damage information included in the damage notification screen. ..

Specifically, when the input unit 162 receives a selection instruction for selecting one of the damage items included in the damage notification screen, the control unit 200 displays a setting screen for setting a reference value on the display unit 161. To do. After that, when the input unit 162 receives a confirmation instruction for confirming the setting of the reference value, the control unit 200 sets the reference value in the storage unit 210 based on the damage information of the item selected by the selection instruction. The selection instruction and the confirmation instruction are included in the setting instruction.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen. The setting screen 500 shown in FIG. 5 is a setting screen when a stain is selected as a damage item in FIG. 4, and includes a division selection button 501 and a range selection button 502.

The category selection button 501 is a button for selecting a category to be sorted according to a reference value, and includes an ATM button 511, a Fit button 512, and an Unfit button 513. The ATM button 511 is a button for sorting banknotes S having a damage degree or more indicated by damage information into ATM banknotes, and the Fit button 512 is a button for sorting banknotes S having a damage degree or more indicated by damage information into regular banknotes. The Unfit button 513 is a button for sorting banknotes S having a damage degree equal to or higher than that indicated by the damage information into non-banknotes.

The range selection button 502 is a button for determining an applicable range indicating a banknote to which the reference value is applied, and includes an all currency button 521, a corresponding currency button 522, a corresponding denomination button 523, and a corresponding series button 524.

The all currency button 521 is a button for setting a reference value applied to banknotes related to all currencies (Japanese yen, US dollar, euro, etc.).

The corresponding currency button 522 is a button for setting a reference value applied to a banknote related to the currency of the inserted banknote, which is the banknote S (the banknote S for which the degree of damage has been acquired) inserted into the hopper unit 110 in the maintenance setting mode. is there. When this button is selected, a reference value applied to banknotes in the same currency as the input banknote is set. For example, if the inserted banknote is a 10,000 yen bill of Japanese yen, the standard value is applied to all banknotes of Japanese yen (10,000 yen bill, 1,000 yen bill, etc.), and banknotes related to other currencies (US dollar, etc.). Does not apply to.

The denomination button 523 is a button for setting a reference value applied to a bill related to the denomination of the inserted bill. When this button is selected, a reference value applied to a bill of the same denomination as the inserted bill is set. For example, when the inserted bill is a 10,000-yen bill of Japanese yen, the reference value is applied only to the 10,000-yen bill of Japanese yen and not to the bills related to other denominations (thousand-yen bill, etc.). The banknotes related to other denominations include banknotes related to other currencies (such as US dollars).

The series button 524 is a button for applying a reference value to the banknotes related to the series of inserted banknotes. When this button is selected, a reference value applied to the same series of banknotes as the inserted banknote series is set. For example, if the inserted banknote is an E-ticket of a 10,000-yen bill of Japanese yen, it applies only to the E-ticket of a 10,000-yen bill of Japanese yen, and other series (such as a D-ticket of a 10,000-yen bill) and other money. It does not apply to seed banknotes.

When the division selection button 501 and the range selection button 502 are selected, the control unit 200 sets a reference value in the storage unit 210 with the selection contents as a confirmation instruction. For example, when the Unfit button 513 of the classification selection button 501 and the all currency buttons 521 of the range selection button 502 are selected, the control unit 200 sorts the non-loss bills and the regular bills common to all currencies. As the first reference value of, a value is set in which a banknote S having a stain of a damage degree of "45" or more, which is standardized to a value from 0 to 99, is determined to be a non-performing banknote. As a result, the banknote S having damage equal to or greater than the degree of stain damage of the inserted banknote is sorted as a non-loss banknote.

The classification and application range of the sorting may be subdivided from the above example. In addition, the reference value may differ depending on the circumstances of a facility that sorts banknotes, such as a bank or a cash center. Further, when the banknote S whose damage degree is less than the second reference value is sorted as an ATM banknote, the ATM button 511 may not be provided.

In the first embodiment, the damage degree indicated by the damage information included in the damage notification screen was directly reflected in the reference value, but in this embodiment, the changed value obtained by changing the damage degree indicated by the damage information included in the damage notification screen. This is an example in which the degree of change damage is reflected in the reference value.

In this embodiment, when the input unit 162 receives a selection instruction to select one of the damage items included in the damage notification screen, the control unit 200 changes the damage degree indicated by the damage information included in the damage notification screen. The change screen for this is displayed on the display unit 161. After that, when the input unit 162 receives the change instruction for changing the damage degree, the control unit 200 obtains the change damage degree in which the damage degree is changed according to the change instruction, and then displays the setting screen. Subsequent processing is the same as in the first embodiment, except that when setting the reference value, the control unit 200 sets the reference value based on the degree of change damage.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a change screen of this embodiment. The change screen 600 shown in FIG. 6 is a change screen when a stain is selected as a damage item in FIG. 4, and includes a change button 601, a classification switching button 602, a screen switching button 603, and a reference image 604. including.

The change button 601 is a button for changing the degree of damage. Specifically, the change button 601 includes change buttons 611 to 616 for changing the degree of damage by instructing a change in the degree of appearance of damage.

The change button 611 is a button that does not change the size of the stain, the change button 612 is a button that doubles the size (area) of the stain, and the change button 613 is a button that halves the size of the stain, a change button. 614 is a button that does not change the stain density, change button 615 is a button that doubles the stain density, and change button 616 is a button that halves the stain density.

The relationship between the apparent degree of damage (eg, the size and intensity of stains) and the numerical damage degree is not always in direct proportion and is generally complex. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 6, the degree of damage can be intuitively changed by instructing the change of the degree of appearance of the damage with the change buttons 611 to 616. Further, since the size and the darkness of the stain can be changed separately, any of the change buttons 611 to 613 related to the size of the stain and any of the change buttons 614 to 616 related to the darkness of the stain can be changed separately. May be selected.

The classification switching button 602 is a button for switching the classification to be selected on the setting screen as shown in FIG. 5, and includes the above button 621 and the following button 622. The button 621 is a button for sorting banknotes S having a degree of damage or more into desired categories (ATM banknotes, regular banknotes, or non-defective banknotes), as in the category selection button 501 of FIG. 5 on the setting screen. The following button 622 is a button for sorting banknotes S having a degree of damage or less into desired categories on the setting screen.

The screen switching button 603 is a button for switching to a screen in which the degree of damage can be directly changed instead of changing the degree of damage appearance by the change button 601. If the numerical value to be set as the reference value can be clearly grasped, the screen may be switched by this button to directly change the degree of damage.

The reference image 604 is an image showing the damaged portion of the selected item among the damaged portions in the bill image included in the damage notification screen.

When the change button 601 is selected, the control unit 200 changes the degree of damage by using the selected content as a change instruction. Specifically, the control unit 200 obtains the degree of damage according to the degree of appearance after the change as the degree of change damage, in which the degree of appearance of the damage is changed according to the selected change button 601. For example, when the change buttons 612 and 615 are selected, the control unit 200 doubles the size of the stain shown in the reference image 604 and doubles the degree of damage when the stain density is doubled. Calculated as the degree of change damage.

The control unit 200 may display the degree of change damage. Further, the control unit 200 may process the banknote image based on the degree of change damage. For example, the control unit 200 may process the banknote images 401 and 402 in the damage notification screen 400 shown in FIG. 4, or may process the reference image 604 in the change screen 600 shown in FIG. .. As the processing, the degree of appearance of the damaged part in the banknote image may be adjusted to the degree of appearance after the change. For example, when the change buttons 612 and 615 are selected, the control unit 200 doubles the size of the stain and doubles the density of the stain in the reference image 604. In this case, the control unit 200 displays the setting screen when the input unit 162 receives a confirmation instruction for determining the degree of change damage. The input unit 162 may accept that the classification switching button 602 has been selected as a confirmation instruction.

In the example shown in the figure, the button for changing the appearance of the damage to "double" or "half" was provided, but a finer change may be possible. For example, a change button may be provided so that the degree of appearance of damage can be changed by a predetermined ratio (for example, 10%).
