Description

The present invention relates to a money processing device.

Conventionally, some money processing devices such as automatic change machines used at store cashiers have a pseudo jam of banknotes and coins in the money processing device, in addition to the normal mode used in normal operation. A money processing device having a training mode for generating the money is known (see Patent Document 1).

When starting the training mode, the user operates the operation unit of the money processing device in advance to instruct the user to switch from the normal mode to the training mode. Next, after switching to the training mode, the user selects an error code desired by the user according to the position of the jam of the medium such as banknotes or coins to be generated. When a medium such as banknotes or coins is deposited or withdrawn after performing these series of settings via an operation on the operation unit of the user, the medium is not actually clogged on the transport path. Even if there is, the medium stops at the preset position of the medium jam, and a pseudo error occurs. As a result, the user can perform training for clearing the medium clogging (transport jam) of the transport path. By experiencing the pseudo error at the user's favorite time and checking the recovery procedure, it is possible to appropriately deal with the occurrence of the error in normal operation.

At the POS cash register 11, when the price of the product purchased by the customer is determined by reading the product bar code by the bar code reading unit 14 and the payment operation is input to the input operation unit 12, the control unit 18 of the POS cash register 11 If coins have been inserted into the coin deposit opening 22, the coin processing unit 5 will start the coin deposit processing, and if the bills have been inserted into the bill depositing port 26, the bill processing unit 6 will start the bill deposit processing. And start.

In the coin deposit processing, the coin processing unit 5 first transports the coins of the coin deposit port 22 to the coin identification unit 33. That is, the coins of the coin deposit port 22 are separated one by one by the first deposit transfer path 31 and fed out to the second deposit transfer path 32, and the coins pass through the reject distribution gate 36 in the closed state of the second deposit transfer path 32. It is conveyed to the identification unit 33. Then, the coin identification unit 33 identifies the coin. The coin identification unit 33 identifies and counts the denominations of unacceptable and acceptable coins, and based on this identification result, the coin transport unit 30 discharges unacceptable coins to the coin reject port 24. Reject. That is, the unacceptable coins are discharged to the coin reject port 24 via the reject shooter 37 by the reverse transfer of the second deposit transfer path 32 and the opening operation of the reject distribution gate 36. As a result, the unacceptable coins are stored in the coin reject opening 24, and the operator can take out the unacceptable coins from the coin reject opening 24.

On the other hand, based on the identification result of the coin identification unit 33, the acceptable coin is moved to the downstream side by the coin transfer unit 30 as it is on the second deposit transfer path 32. As a result, the coin transport unit 30 selects the acceptable coins by the corresponding denominations of the denomination distribution gates 42a to 42f and stores them in the corresponding denominations of the coin storages 41a to 41f. That is, 1-yen coins are dropped at the denomination distribution gate 42a and stored in the coin storage 41a, 10-yen coins are dropped at the denomination distribution gate 42b and stored in the coin storage 41b, and 100-yen coins are stored. Dropped at the denomination distribution gate 42c and stored in the coin storage 41c, 5 yen coins were dropped at the denomination distribution gate 42d and stored in the coin storage 41d, and 50 yen coins were dropped at the denomination distribution gate 42e. The 500-yen coin is dropped at the denomination distribution gate 42f and stored in the coin storage 41f.

In the banknote deposit processing, the banknote processing unit 6 separates the banknotes from the banknote deposit port 26 one by one and sends them out to the main transport path 128 of the banknote transport unit 127, and the main transport path 128 is directed toward the banknote storages 120 to 123. It is conveyed and identified by the bill identification unit 140. The banknote identification unit 140 identifies the denominations of acceptable and acceptable banknotes, and based on this identification result, the acceptable banknotes are selected from the distribution units 132G to 134G for the banknote storages 120 to 123. The banknotes for the denomination to be used are driven to be stored in the banknote storage of the denomination 120 to 123 of the corresponding denomination. That is, the 1000-yen bill is sent to the branch transfer path 132 by the distribution unit 132G and stored in the bill storage 120. Further, the 5,000-yen banknotes are sent to the branch transfer path 133 by the distribution unit 133G and stored in the banknote storage 121. Further, the 10,000-yen banknote is sent to the branch transfer path 134 by the distribution unit 134G and stored in the banknote storage 122. Further, when any of the banknote storages 120 to 122 is full of banknotes, the overflow banknotes that cannot be stored are transported by the main transport path 128 and stored in the banknote storage 123. .. In addition, 2,000-yen banknotes that do not have a dedicated storage are also stored in the bill storage 123. The banknote storage 123 may also be in a full state of the banknote storage, which is full of banknotes. In that case, the overflow bills that cannot be stored are stored in the bill cassette 118.

On the other hand, the bills identified as non-depositable by the bill identification unit 140 are switched back and transported in the opposite direction to the above by the reverse drive of the main transport path 128 of the bill transport unit 127, and are transferred to the branch transport path 129 by the distribution unit 129G. The banknote deposit is rejected by sending the banknote and storing it in the banknote withdrawal port 27. As a result, the unacceptable bills are stored in the bill withdrawal port 27, and the operator can take out the unacceptable bills from the bill withdrawal port 27.

As described above, all the coins in the coin deposit port 22 are transported by the coin transport unit 30 to either the coin reject port 24 or the coin storages 41a to 41f, and the banknotes in the banknote deposit port 26 are transported. When all of the coins and banknotes are transported to any of the banknote storages 120 to 123, the banknote cassette 118, and the banknote withdrawal port 27 by the unit 127, the control unit 18 of the POS cash register 11 receives the coins and banknotes in the current deposit processing. The count result of the above and the display prompting the selection operation of whether to cancel the payment or confirm the payment are displayed on the input display unit 13.

In response to the above-mentioned question of whether to cancel the payment or confirm the payment, when the operator inputs the selection operation of the payment confirmation, which is the approval operation input, to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 , The count values of coins and banknotes received in this deposit process are fixed and stored, and the change amount is calculated by subtracting the product price from the total amount, and the deposit process is completed. If there is change, the withdrawal process described later will continue.

Here, if any of the coin storages 41a to 41f becomes full during the coin deposit processing, the control unit 18 temporarily suspends the deposit processing. Then, when a predetermined fullness canceling operation is input to the input operation unit 12, the control unit 18 counts coins from the filled coin storage units 41a to 41f and counts coins from the intermediate transport path of the coin transport unit 30. Let 46 pay out. Then, the control unit 18 keeps the withdrawal port distribution gate 47 closed, opens the preliminary distribution gate 52, and conveys coins toward the preliminary distribution gate 52 on the intermediate transfer path 46. Then, the coins are separated one by one in the intermediate transport path 46, and then fall from the intermediate transport path 46 at the position of the preliminary distribution gate 52 beyond the withdrawal port distribution gate 47, and the spare storage shooter 53. It is stored in the spare storage 51 via. In this way, the full state of the coin storages 41a to 41f is eliminated. After that, the control unit 18 restarts the deposit process.

Further, when the banknote storage is full during the banknote deposit processing, the control unit 18 puts the overflow banknotes that cannot be stored in the banknote storages 120 to 122 into the banknote storage 123, as described above. Overflow bills that cannot be stored in the storage 123 are stored in the bill cassette 118 to continue the bill deposit processing, but after the bill deposit processing, any of the bill storages 120 to 123 becomes full. When a predetermined full cancellation operation is input to the input operation unit 12, the control unit 18 picks up the bills from the full bill storages 120 to 123. While counting, the banknotes are fed to the main transport path 128, transported in the direction of the branch transport path 130 on the main transport path 128, and stored in the bill cassette 118 at the distribution unit 130G and the branch transport path 130. In this way, the full state of the bill storages 120 to 123 is eliminated.

[Payment return processing]
On the other hand, in response to the above-mentioned question of whether to cancel the deposit or confirm the deposit in the deposit process, when the operator inputs the selection operation of the deposit cancellation, which is the cancellation operation input, into the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11. The control unit 18 counts the returned coins constituting the coin portion of the deposited amount from the corresponding coin storages 41a to 41f, and withdraws the coins by the coin transporting unit 30 with respect to the coin processing unit 5. The coin deposit and return process to be transported to the mouth 25 is performed. That is, the withdrawal port distribution gate 47 is opened, and the returned coins are fed out onto the intermediate transport path 46 while counting from the corresponding coin storages 41a to 41f. Then, the intermediate transport path 46 transports the coins toward the withdrawal port distribution gate 47, and the coins fall from the withdrawal port distribution gate 47 onto the withdrawal transfer path 48, and the withdrawal transfer path At 48, it is released to the coin withdrawal port 25.

Further, with respect to the banknote processing unit 6, the control unit 18 uses the banknote transport unit 127 to transfer the returned banknotes constituting the banknote portion of the deposited amount from the corresponding banknote storages 120 to 122 to the banknote withdrawal port 27. The banknotes to be transported to are returned. That is, from the corresponding banknote storages 120 to 122, the returned banknotes are sent to the banknote withdrawal port via the corresponding banknotes of the branch transport paths 132 to 134, the main transport path 128, the distribution section 129G, and the branch transport path 129. It will be transported to 27. That is, when the banknotes are fed out from the banknote storage 120, the kicking roller 120R kicks the banknotes toward the rollers 132Ra and 132Rb, and the roller 132Ra feeds the banknotes into the branch transport path 132 while being separated by the rollers 132Rb. When the banknotes are fed out from the banknote storage 121, the kicking rollers 121R kick out the banknotes toward the rollers 133Ra and 133Rb, and the rollers 133Ra feed the banknotes into the branch transport path 133 while separating them into one sheet by the rollers 133Rb. When the bills are fed out from the bill storage 122, the kicking roller 122R kicks the bills toward the rollers 134Ra and 134Rb, and the rollers 134Ra feed the bills into the branch transport path 134 while being separated by the rollers 134Rb. In this way, the banknotes drawn out from the corresponding items in the banknote storages 120 to 122 are conveyed by the main transfer path 128, introduced into the branch transfer path 129 by the distribution unit 129G, and sent to the banknote withdrawal port 27.

As described above, the returned coins constituting the coin portion of the deposited amount are discharged to the coin withdrawal port 25 by the coin transport unit 30, and the returned bills constituting the bill portion of the deposited amount are the bill transport unit 127. When the coin is discharged to the banknote withdrawal port 27, the control unit 18 ends the deposit / return process, and the operator transfers the returned coin from the coin withdrawal port 25 and the returned banknote from the banknote withdrawal port 27. It will be taken out.

[Withdrawal processing]
In response to the question of whether to cancel the deposit or confirm the deposit in the deposit process, when the operator inputs the selection operation of the deposit confirmation to the input operation unit 12 of the POS cash register 11, the control unit 18 describes the above. As described above, the change amount is calculated by subtracting the product price from the total amount of coins and banknotes received in the deposit process, and if there is change, the money processing device 1 is controlled so that the change amount is withdrawn.

Under the control of the control unit 18, the coin processing device 1 counts the withdrawal coins constituting the coin portion of the change amount from the corresponding coin storages 41a to 41f in the same manner as the coin deposit / return processing. A coin withdrawal process is performed in which the coin is fed, transported by the coin transport unit 30, and withdrawn to the coin withdrawal port 25. That is, the withdrawal port distribution gate 47 is opened, and the withdrawal coins are fed out onto the intermediate transport path 46 while counting from the corresponding coin storages 41a to 41f. Then, the intermediate transport path 46 transports coins toward the withdrawal port distribution gate 47, falls from the withdrawal port distribution gate 47 onto the withdrawal transfer path 48, and withdraws coins through the withdrawal transfer port 48. It is released to the gold mouth 25.

Further, the money processing device 1 uses the banknote transport unit 127 to transfer the withdrawal banknotes constituting the banknote portion of the change amount from the corresponding banknote storages 120 and 121 by the banknote transport unit 127 in the same manner as the banknote deposit / return processing. The banknote withdrawal process for withdrawing to the withdrawal port 27 is performed. That is, the withdrawal bills are transported from the corresponding banknote storages 120 and 121 toward the banknote withdrawal port 27 via the corresponding banknotes of the branch transport paths 132 and 133 and the main transport path 128. .. Then, the banknotes transported in the main transport path 128 are introduced into the branch transport path 129 by the distribution unit 129G and sent to the bill withdrawal port 27. At this time, the banknote transport unit 127 stores the banknotes identified as non-withdrawable banknotes such as double-sending by the banknote identification unit 140 in the banknote cassette 118.

The withdrawal coins constituting the coin portion of the change amount are discharged to the coin withdrawal port 25 by the coin transport unit 30, and the withdrawal bills constituting the bill portion of the change amount are discharged to the bill withdrawal port 27 by the bill transport unit 127. Then, the withdrawal process is completed, and the operator takes out the withdrawal coin from the coin withdrawal port 25 and the withdrawal banknote from the banknote withdrawal port 27, respectively.

Further, in the banknote processing unit 6, for example, a banknote withdrawal reject full state in which the banknote cassette 118 storing the withdrawal rejected banknotes during the banknote transport by the banknote transporting unit 127 in the above-mentioned banknote withdrawal process is full. May occur. The control unit 18 stops the banknote transfer unit 127 when the full state of the banknote withdrawal reject full is detected by the fullness detection sensor provided in the banknote cassette 118. At the same time, the control unit 18 causes the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11 to display the fact that the banknote withdrawal rejectful has occurred and the procedure for canceling the banknote withdrawal rejectful. Upon seeing this, the operator, for example, pulls out the bill processing unit portion 162 from the housing 161 and performs work such as taking out the bill from the bill cassette 118 to eliminate the bill withdrawal rejectful, and the bill is placed in the housing 161. Push the processing unit unit 162 back to its original position.

{Coin storage empty}
Further, during the above-mentioned coin withdrawal process, the amount of coins stored in any of the coin storages 41a to 41f of each denomination may be empty, resulting in a coin storage empty. When the storage amount detection sensor provided in each of the coin storages 41a to 41f of each denomination detects the state of the coin storage empty for any of the coin storages 41a to 41f of each denomination, the control unit 18 determines. The coin transport unit 30 is stopped, and the fact that the coin storage emptyness has occurred and the procedure for eliminating the coin storage emptyness are displayed on the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11. Upon seeing this, for example, the operator pulls out the first storage drawer 152 from the housing portion 151, takes out the coin denomination bar that is causing the coin storage empty from the first storage drawer 152, and breaks it. Then, the coins of this denomination are inserted into the coin deposit opening 22, and the coins of this denomination are subjected to the coin storage emptyness of the coin storages 41a to 41f from the coin deposit port 22 by the coin transport unit 30 in the same manner as the coin deposit processing. The coins to be stored in the seeds are replenished.

{Banknote storage empty}
Further, during the above-mentioned banknote withdrawal process, the banknote storage empty of any of the banknote storages 120 and 121 by denomination may be emptied. When the storage amount detection sensor provided in each of the banknote storages 120 and 121 of each denomination detects the state of the banknote storage empty for any of the banknote storages 120 and 121 of the denomination, the control unit 18 determines. The banknote transport unit 127 is stopped, and the fact that the banknote storage emptyness has occurred and the procedure for eliminating the banknote storage emptyness are displayed on the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11.

In the same way as the banknote deposit process, the banknotes of this denomination are stored in the banknote storage 120, 121 where the banknote storage emptyness is generated by the banknote transport unit 127 from the banknote deposit port 26. I do.

Then, in the coin processing device 1 of the present embodiment, the coin deposit jam, the bill deposit jam, the coin withdrawal jam, and the bill withdrawal jam described above are used for training the operator and confirming the function of the coin processing device 1. , Coin storage full, Banknote storage full, Coin withdrawal reject full, Banknote withdrawal reject full, Coin storage empty and Banknote storage empty, Coin deposit rejected and Banknote deposit rejected It is possible to generate a pseudo device event that is generated in.

The money processing device 1 has a banknote-type medium 201 (money, a medium for generating a pseudo device event) as shown in FIG. 5, which is used when a pseudo device event is generated in the banknote processing unit 6. The bill-type medium 201 has a rectangular shape having the same size as a bill, and is a sheet made of paper or synthetic resin. The money processing device 1 transports the bill-type medium 201 by the bill transport unit 127 along the long side of the bill-type medium 201 along the transport direction, and at that time, the bill identification unit 140 transports the bill-type medium 201 through the bill-type medium. Identify 201. Therefore, the bill transport unit 127 carries the bill-type medium 201, which is a medium for generating a simulated device event, and coins composed of bills, and the bill identification unit 140 carries the bill-type medium 201 and bills carried by the bill transport unit 127. Identify coins consisting of. The bill detection sensors 26S, 128Sa to 128Sc, 129S, 130S, 132S to 135S also detect the presence or absence of the bill type medium 201 by shading the bill type medium 201.

The banknote-type medium 201 has a barcode 202 (identification information) attached to one surface in the thickness direction as an identification code indicating identification information corresponding to a simulated device event to be generated. The bar code 202 has its extending direction, in other words, the bar arrangement direction along the short side of the bill-type medium 201, and is attached to the center of the bill-type medium 201 in this state. Therefore, the bar code 202 is attached to the bill-type medium 201 so that the extending direction of the bar code 202 is perpendicular to the transport direction by the bill transport unit 127. This is a direction in which the bar code 202 can be easily read by the line sensor (not shown) of the banknote identification unit 140, especially when the banknotes are vertically transported by the banknote transfer unit 127 as described above. In addition, even in the case of so-called lateral transportation in which the extending direction of the short side of the banknote is aligned with the conveying direction by the banknote conveying section, the extending direction of the barcode is attached so as to be perpendicular to the conveying direction by the banknote conveying section. By doing so, there is an advantage that an inexpensive line sensor can be used instead of an expensive area sensor.

On the bill-type medium 201, a visual mark 203 composed of text information of a pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202 is also attached alongside the barcode 202. In the bill-type medium 201 shown in FIG. 5, the bar code 202 includes identification information indicating that a deposit jam has occurred in the vicinity of the bill deposit opening 26 of the bill transport unit 127, so that the simulated device event causes the bill deposit. A visual mark 203 of "payment jam (immediately after the deposit opening)" indicating that the jam is generated immediately after the bill deposit opening is attached. By attaching the visual mark 203, the operator can know at a glance what the simulated device event the bill-type medium 201 is for, and can easily use the bill-type medium 201 properly. The barcode 202 and the visual mark 203 may be formed by printing directly on the base sheet that is the base of the banknote-type medium 201, or another sheet on which these are printed may be attached to the base sheet of the banknote-type medium 201. good.

Such a bill-type medium 201 is used for generating bill deposit jam, for generating bill withdrawal jam, for generating bill storage full, for generating bill withdrawal reject full, for generating bill storage empty, and for generating bill deposit reject. Each is made in. The banknote-type media 201 for generating banknote deposit jam, banknote withdrawal jam, banknote storage full generation, and banknote storage emptyness generation are produced for each generation location in the money processing device 1.

Then, the money processing device 1 conveys the bill-type medium 201 by the bill transport unit 127, and when the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202, the control unit 18 pseudo-corresponds to the read identification information of the barcode 202. Performs pseudo device event generation processing that generates device events.

<Banknote deposit jam>
First, a case where the simulated device event to be generated is a banknote deposit jam will be described. The banknote deposit jam is a jam of banknotes when the banknotes are transported from the banknote deposit port 26 to the banknote storages 120 to 123.

For example, when a banknote deposit jam immediately after the banknote deposit port 26 is generated in the money processing device 1 as a simulated device event, the operator can see in FIG. 5 for generating a banknote deposit jam immediately after the banknote deposit port 26. One bill-type medium 201 as shown is set in the bill deposit slot 26. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the bill processing unit 6. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the money processing device 1 into the training mode, causes the banknote type medium 201 to be taken into the banknote processing unit 6 from the banknote deposit port 26 in the same manner as the banknote deposit processing, and the main transport path of the banknote transport unit 127. At 128, it is conveyed to the bill identification unit 140.

Then, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 attached to the bill type medium 201. Based on the identification information of the barcode 202, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is a bill deposit jam and occurs immediately after the bill deposit port 26.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the bill deposit jam, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first transports the bill-type medium 201 to a predetermined stop location according to the identification information of the barcode 202 by the main transport path 128 of the bill transport unit 127. The place where the bill-type medium 201 is stopped is a predetermined place on the bill transport unit 127. In this case, the identification information of the bar code 202 is the bill deposit jam immediately after the bill deposit port 26.

Then, the bill transport unit 127 is stopped to stop the bill type medium 201 at a predetermined position in the vicinity of the bill deposit opening 26 on the main transport path 128. At the time of this switchback transfer, the bill type medium 201 passes through the bill identification unit 140 again, but at this time, the bill identification unit 140 does not read the barcode 202 of the bill type medium 201. ..

<Banknote withdrawal jam>
Next, a case where the simulated device event to be generated is a bill withdrawal jam will be described. The banknote withdrawal jam is a jam of banknotes when the banknotes are conveyed from the banknote storages 120 to 123 to the banknote withdrawal port 27 or the banknote cassette 118.

As a simulated device event, for example, when the banknote withdrawal jam at the position immediately before the banknote withdrawal port 27 is generated in the money processing device 1, the operator generates the banknote withdrawal jam at the position immediately before the banknote withdrawal port 27. One banknote-type medium 201 for banknotes is set in the banknote deposit slot 26. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the bill processing unit 6. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the money processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the banknote type medium 201 from the banknote deposit port 26 into the banknote processing unit 6, and transports the banknote type medium 201 to the banknote identification unit 140 by the banknote transfer unit 127.

Then, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 attached to the bill type medium 201. Based on the identification information of the barcode 202, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is a bill withdrawal jam and occurs at a position immediately before the bill withdrawal port 27.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the bill withdrawal jam, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first transports the bill-type medium 201 to a predetermined stop location according to the identification information of the barcode 202 by the bill transport unit 127. In this case, since the identification information of the bar code 202 indicates the banknote withdrawal jam at the position immediately before the banknote withdrawal port 27, the banknote is unwound from the banknote deposit port 26 and passes through the banknote identification unit 140 at the banknote transport unit 127. The bill-type medium 201 that had been used is returned by the switchback transport of the bill transport unit 127, guided to the branch transport path 129 by the distribution unit 129G, and stopped at a predetermined position detected by the bill detection sensor 129S. At the time of this switchback transfer, the bill type medium 201 will pass through the bill identification unit 140 again, but at this time, the bill identification unit 140 does not read the barcode 202.

The control unit 18 continues to generate a pseudo device event, and based on the identification information of the barcode 202 identified by the banknote identification unit 140, the control unit 18 sends a bill withdrawal jam to the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11 as a pseudo device event display. The fact that the pseudo device event has occurred and the position immediately before the banknote withdrawal port 27, which is the position where the banknote withdrawal jam pseudo device event has occurred, are displayed to notify the operator. At this time, as a simulated device event display, the input display unit 13 is made to display the procedure for canceling the error, that is, the procedure for removing the bill-type medium 201 on the branch transfer path 129.

Then, the control unit 18 performs a series of exclusion operations in which the banknote processing unit unit 162 is pulled out from the housing 161, the banknote type medium 201 of the branch transfer path 129 is eliminated, and the banknote processing unit unit 162 is pushed into the housing 161. What has been done includes the open state of the bill processing unit unit 162, the closed state of the bill processing unit 162 from this open state, and the absence of detection of the bill type medium 201 by the bill detection sensor 129S in this closed state. Upon confirmation, the currency processing device 1 is reset, and the state in which the simulated device event of the banknote withdrawal jam is generated is released.

Similarly, for example, when the identification information of the bar code 202 of the banknote type medium 201 indicates the occurrence of a banknote withdrawal jam in the branch transfer path 130 to the banknote cassette 118, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process. The bill-type medium 201 that had passed through the bill identification unit 140 in the main transport path 128 is further transported to the downstream side of the branch transport path 130, and then returned by the switchback transport of the bill transport unit 127 to be returned to the distribution unit. It is guided to the branch transfer path 130 by 130G and stopped at a position detected by the bill detection sensor 130S. At the same time, the input display unit 13 is displayed as a pseudo device event display that the pseudo device event is a bill withdrawal jam occurrence on the branch transfer path 130 and the procedure for canceling the error.

Then, in the control unit 18, the bill processing unit unit 162 is pulled out from the housing 161, the bill type medium 201 is removed from the branch transport path 130 in the bill transport unit 127, and the bill processing unit 162 is pushed into the housing 161. The fact that a series of exclusion operations have been performed indicates that the banknote processing unit unit 162 is in the open state, the banknote processing unit unit 162 is in the closed state from this open state, and the banknote type medium 201 in the banknote detection sensor 130S in this closed state. If it is confirmed including no detection, the money processing device 1 is reset, and the state in which the simulated device event of the banknote withdrawal jam is generated is released.

Here, the simulated device event for the occurrence of banknote withdrawal jam on the branch transfer path 132 is the simulated device event for the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11 in response to the simulated device event for the occurrence of banknote deposit jam on the branch transfer path 132.

It is almost the same except that it is displayed.

Further, the simulated device event of the banknote withdrawal jam occurrence at the position near the banknote storage 123 in the main transport path 128 is the bill ejection to the input display unit 13 in response to the pseudo device event of the banknote deposit jam occurrence at the same position. It is almost the same except that it is displayed that it is a simulated device event of gold jam. Further, the pseudo device event of the banknote withdrawal jam occurrence at the position between the branch transport path 130 and the branch transport path 132 in the main transport path 128 is input and displayed for the pseudo device event of the banknote deposit jam occurrence at the same position. It is almost the same except that the part 13 is displayed to the effect that it is a simulated device event of the bill withdrawal jam. Further, the pseudo device event of the banknote withdrawal jam occurrence at the position between the branch transport path 132 and the branch transport path 133 in the main transport path 128 is input and displayed for the pseudo device event of the banknote deposit jam occurrence at the same position. It is almost the same except that the part 13 is displayed to the effect that it is a simulated device event of the bill withdrawal jam. Further, the pseudo device event of the banknote withdrawal jam occurrence at the position between the branch transport path 133 and the branch transport path 134 in the main transport path 128 is input and displayed for the pseudo device event of the banknote deposit jam occurrence at the same position. It is almost the same except that the part 13 is displayed to the effect that it is a simulated device event of the bill withdrawal jam. Further, the pseudo device event of the banknote withdrawal jam occurrence at the position of the banknote identification unit 140 in the main transport path 128 is the bill withdrawal jam to the input display unit 13 in response to the pseudo device event of the banknote deposit jam generation at the same position. It is almost the same except that it is displayed that it is a pseudo device event of.

Further, the simulated device event for the occurrence of banknote withdrawal jam in the banknote storage 120 is a simulated device event for the banknote withdrawal jam to the input display unit 13 in response to the simulated device event for the generation of banknote deposit jam in the banknote storage 120. It is almost the same except that a certain effect is displayed. Further, the simulated device event for the occurrence of banknote withdrawal jam in the banknote storage 121 is a simulated device event for the banknote withdrawal jam to the input display unit 13 in response to the simulated device event for the generation of banknote deposit jam in the banknote storage 121. It is almost the same except that a certain effect is displayed. Further, the simulated device event for the occurrence of banknote withdrawal jam in the banknote storage 122 is a simulated device event for the banknote withdrawal jam to the input display unit 13 in response to the simulated device event for the generation of banknote deposit jam in the banknote storage 122. It is almost the same except that a certain effect is displayed. Further, the simulated device event for the occurrence of banknote withdrawal jam in the banknote storage 123 is a simulated device event for the banknote withdrawal jam to the input display unit 13 in response to the simulated device event for the generation of banknote deposit jam in the banknote storage 123. It is almost the same except that a certain effect is displayed.

<Banknote deposit rejected>
Next, a case where the simulated device event to be generated has a bill deposit reject is described. The bill deposit reject is a process of paying out the unacceptable bills identified as unacceptable at the time of deposit processing to the bill withdrawal port 27.

When the currency processing device 1 is to generate the bill deposit rejected as a simulated device event, the operator sets one bill type medium 201 for generating the bill deposit rejected in the bill deposit slot 26. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the bill processing unit 6. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the money processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the banknote type medium 201 from the banknote deposit port 26 into the banknote processing unit 6, and transports the banknote type medium 201 to the banknote identification unit 140 by the banknote transfer unit 127.

Then, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 attached to the bill type medium 201. Based on the identification information of the barcode 202, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode has a bill deposit reject.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the presence of banknote deposit rejection, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first transports the bill-type medium 201 to a predetermined stop location according to the identification information of the barcode 202 by the bill transport unit 127. In this case, since the identification information of the barcode 202 indicates that the banknote deposit is rejected, the banknote-type medium 201 that has been fed out from the banknote deposit port 26 and passed through the banknote identification unit 140 at the banknote transfer unit 127 is transported. It is returned by the switchback transport of the unit 127, guided from the main transport path 128 to the branch transport path 129 by the distribution section 129G, and is fed to the bill withdrawal port 27. At the time of this switchback transfer, the bill type medium 201 will pass through the bill identification unit 140 again, but at this time, the bill identification unit 140 does not read the barcode 202.

The control unit 18 continues to reject the bill deposit as a pseudo device event display to the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11 based on the identification information of the barcode 202 identified by the bill identification unit 140 as a pseudo device event generation process. The fact that the pseudo-device event of the above has occurred and the fact that the bill-type medium 201 is urged to be taken out from the bill withdrawal port 27 are displayed. After that, when it is confirmed that the banknote-type medium 201 has been taken out from the banknote withdrawal port 27 without the detection of the banknote-type medium 201 by the banknote detection sensor (not shown) provided in the banknote withdrawal port 27, control is performed. The unit 18 resets the money processing device 1 and releases the pseudo device event occurrence state with the bill deposit reject.

<Full banknote storage>
Next, the case where the simulated device event to be generated is the bill storage full will be described. The bill storage full means that any of the bill storages 120 to 123 is full after the deposit processing.

When the banknote storage full of the banknote storage 120 is generated in the money processing device 1 as a simulated device event, the operator transfers the banknote type medium 201 for generating the banknote storage full of the banknote storage 120 to the banknote deposit slot 26. Set one. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the bill processing unit 6. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the money processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the banknote type medium 201 from the banknote deposit port 26 into the banknote processing unit 6, and transports the banknote type medium 201 to the banknote identification unit 140 by the banknote transfer unit 127.

Then, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 attached to the bill type medium 201. Based on the identification information of the barcode 202, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is the bill storage full of the bill storage 120.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the bill storage full, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first guides the bill-type medium 201 from the main transport path 128 to the branch transport path 132 by the distribution unit 132G, stores the bill-type medium 201 in the bill storage 120, and displays the bills in the input display unit 13. As the pseudo device event display, the fact that the pseudo device event is full in the banknote storage 120 and the procedure for canceling the error are displayed.

Then, when the operation for releasing the full bill storage in the bill storage 120 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 transfers only the bill type medium 201 from the bill storage 120. It is fed out and returned to the main transport path 128 at the branch transport path 132, discharged to the bill withdrawal port 27 at the main transport path 128 and the branch transport path 129, and is discharged to the input display unit 13 as a simulated device event display. A display prompting that the banknote storage full release operation for 120 has been properly performed and that the banknote-type medium 201 be taken out from the banknote withdrawal port 27 are displayed. At this time, the banknotes other than the banknote-type medium 201 are not fed out from the banknote storage 120. After that, when the bill detection sensor (not shown) of the bill withdrawal port 27 detects that the bill type medium 201 has been taken out from the bill withdrawal port 27, the control unit 18 resets the money processing device 1 to perform the bill. Cancels the pseudo device event occurrence state of the storage full.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 202 of the bill-type medium 201 indicates the bill storage full of the bill storage 121, the control unit 18 transfers the bill-type medium 201 from the main transport path 128 to the distribution unit 133G. In addition to storing the banknotes in the banknote storage 121 at the branch transfer path 133, the input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is full in the banknote storage 121 of the banknote storage 121 and the procedure for canceling the error. After that, when the operation for releasing the full bill storage in the bill storage 121 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 transfers only the bill type medium 201 from the bill storage 121. In addition to discharging the banknotes to the bill withdrawal port 27 at the main transport path 128 and the branch transport path 129, the fact that the banknote storage full release operation for the bill storage 121 has been properly performed to the input display unit 13 and the bill withdrawal. A display prompting the removal of the bill-type medium 201 from the mouth 27 is displayed. After that, when it is detected that the bill-type medium 201 has been taken out from the bill withdrawal port 27, the control unit 18 resets the currency processing device 1 to release the state in which the bill storage full pseudo device event has occurred.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 202 of the bill-type medium 201 indicates the full bill storage of the bill storage 122, the control unit 18 transfers the bill-type medium 201 from the main transport path 128 to the distribution unit 134G. In addition to storing the banknotes in the banknote storage 122 through the branch transfer path 134, the input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is the banknote storage full of the banknote storage 122 and the procedure for canceling the error. After that, when the operation for releasing the full bill storage in the bill storage 122 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 transfers only the bill type medium 201 from the bill storage 122. In addition to discharging the banknotes to the bill withdrawal port 27 at the main transport path 128 and the branch transport path 129, the fact that the banknote storage full release operation for the bill storage 122 has been properly performed to the input display unit 13 and the bill withdrawal. A display prompting the removal of the bill-type medium 201 from the mouth 27 is displayed. After that, when it is detected that the bill-type medium 201 has been taken out from the bill withdrawal port 27, the control unit 18 resets the currency processing device 1 to release the state in which the bill storage full pseudo device event has occurred.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 202 of the banknote-type medium 201 indicates the banknote storage full of the banknote storage 123, the control unit 18 uses the banknote-type medium 201 in the main transport path 128 to indicate the banknote storage 123. The input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is the full bill storage of the bill storage 123 and the procedure for canceling the error. After that, when the operation for releasing the full bill storage in the bill storage 123 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 transfers only the bill type medium 201 from the bill storage 123. At the main transport path 128 and the branch transport path 129, the banknotes are discharged to the banknote withdrawal port 27, and the input display unit 13 is properly released to release the banknote storage full of the banknote storage 123 and the banknotes are withdrawn. A display prompting the removal of the bill-type medium 201 from the mouth 27 is displayed. After that, when it is detected that the bill-type medium 201 has been taken out from the bill withdrawal port 27, the control unit 18 resets the currency processing device 1 to release the state in which the bill storage full pseudo device event has occurred.

In this way, if only the bill-type medium 201 is transported to the target of the bill storages 120 to 123, the currency processing device 1 uses the full state of the bill storage of the target bill storage as a simulated device event. Therefore, the full state of the bill storage can be easily generated as compared with the case where the bills are stored until the target bill storage is actually full. Therefore, the operator of the money processing device 1 can immediately perform the training for releasing the state, and the system developer can also efficiently perform the debugging work.

<Banknote withdrawal reject full>
Next, a case where the simulated device event to be generated is a bill withdrawal rejectful will be described. The banknote withdrawal reject full is a banknote cassette 118 that stores withdrawal rejected banknotes such as double feeds during withdrawal processing, and also stores banknotes when the banknote storage full of the banknote storages 120 to 123 is cleared. It is to be full.

When the banknote withdrawal rejectful of the banknote cassette 118 is generated in the money processing device 1 as a simulated device event, the operator sets one banknote type medium 201 for generating the banknote withdrawal rejectful in the banknote deposit slot 26. .. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the bill processing unit 6. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the money processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the banknote type medium 201 from the banknote deposit port 26 into the banknote processing unit 6, and transports the banknote type medium 201 to the banknote identification unit 140 by the banknote transfer unit 127.

Then, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 attached to the bill type medium 201. Based on the identification information of the barcode 202, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is the bill withdrawal rejectful.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the bill withdrawal rejectful, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first transfers the bill-type medium 201 from the main transport path 128 via the branch transport path 130 by switching back transport at a position beyond the distribution section 130G and guiding the distribution section 130G. The banknote cassette 118 is stored in the banknote cassette 118, and the input display unit 13 is displayed as a pseudo device event display that the pseudo device event is rejectable for withdrawal of banknotes and the procedure for canceling the error.

Then, the control unit 18 is suitable for a series of exclusion operations in which the bill processing unit unit 162 is pulled out from the housing 161, the bill type medium 201 of the bill cassette 118 is taken out, and the bill processing unit 162 is pushed into the housing 161. When it is confirmed that this has been done, the money processing device 1 is reset, and the state in which the banknote withdrawal rejectful pseudo device event is generated is released.

<Banknote storage empty>
Next, a case where the simulated device event to be generated is the bill storage empty will be described. The banknote storage empty means that either the banknote storage 120 or 121 for storing banknotes used for change is emptied.

When the banknote storage empty of the banknote storage 120 is generated in the money processing device 1 as a simulated device event, the operator transfers the banknote type medium 201 for generating the banknote storage empty of the banknote storage 120 to the banknote deposit slot 26. Set one. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the bill processing unit 6. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the money processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the banknote type medium 201 from the banknote deposit port 26 into the banknote processing unit 6, and transports the banknote type medium 201 to the banknote identification unit 140 by the banknote transfer unit 127.

Then, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 attached to the bill type medium 201. Based on the identification information of the barcode 202, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is the bill storage empty of the bill storage 120.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the bill storage empty, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first discharges the bill-type medium 201 to the bill withdrawal port 27 by the switchback transport of the main transport path 128 and the guidance to the branch transport path 129 by the distribution unit 129G, and inputs the bill type medium 201. As a pseudo device event display, the display unit 13 displays that the pseudo device event is the bill storage empty in the bill storage 120 and the procedure for canceling the error.

Then, when the operation for releasing the banknote storage empty in the banknote storage 120 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 displays the pseudo device event on the input display unit 13. It is displayed that the operation of releasing the banknote storage empty of the banknote storage 120 has been properly performed. At this time, the banknote storage 120 is not actually replenished with banknotes. That is, the bill-type medium 201 is used as a setting key for transmitting the content of the simulated device event to the control unit 18. After that, the control unit 18 displays a display prompting the removal of the bill-type medium 201 from the bill withdrawal port 27 as a simulated device event display, and the bill withdrawal port 27 is a bill detection sensor (not shown). When it is detected that the banknote-type medium 201 has been taken out from 27, the money processing device 1 is reset to release the simulated device event occurrence state of the banknote storage empty.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 202 of the banknote-type medium 201 indicates the banknote storage empty of the banknote storage 121, the control unit 18 uses the banknote-type medium 201 at the banknote transfer unit 127 to withdraw the banknote. In addition to discharging to 27, the input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is the bill storage empty of the bill storage 121 and the procedure for canceling the error. In this state, when the operation for releasing the bill storage empty in the bill storage 121 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 sends the bill storage empty for the bill storage 121. Display that the release operation of is performed properly. After that, when the control unit 18 detects that the bill-type medium 201 has been taken out from the bill withdrawal port 27, it resets the currency processing device 1 and releases the simulated device event occurrence state of the bill storage empty.

In this way, if only the banknote-type medium 201 is transported to the banknote withdrawal port 27, the state of the banknote storage empty of the banknote storages 120 and 121 can be generated in the money processing device 1 as a simulated device event. Even when the bills are stored in the bill storages 120 and 121, the bill storage empty state can be generated in a pseudo manner. In other words, since it is a training to release the pseudo-generated banknote storage empty state, the operation of replenishing the banknotes to the banknote storage to be processed among the banknote storages 120 and 121 is the operation. It is only necessary to check the procedure, and it is not necessary to actually perform the replenishment operation that involves the transportation of banknotes. Therefore, the operator of the money processing device 1 can immediately perform the training for releasing the state, and the system developer can also efficiently perform the debugging work.

Here, as a modification, barcodes 202 having different identification information are printed on one side in the thickness direction and the other side in the thickness direction on the bill-type medium 201, and further, respectively. In addition to the barcode 202 of the above, a visual mark 203 for displaying the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the attached barcode 202 in text may be printed.

In that case, when the bill-type medium 201 is loaded into the bill deposit slot 26, the front side of the bill-type medium 201 is the front side, and the back side of the bill-type medium 201 is the back side. The code 202 is read and transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information. That is, the bill identification unit 140 controls by reading a barcode 202 indicating identification information attached to a predetermined side in the thickness direction of the bill type medium 201 in the bill identification unit 140 when the bill type medium 201 passes through. It is transmitted to the unit 18. As a result, two different identification information can be attached to one bill-type medium 201, so that the types of bill-type media 201 can be reduced to half.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the bill-type medium 201 is located on one surface in the thickness direction in the extending direction of the short side orthogonal to the long side along the transport direction of the bill transport unit 127. The barcode 202A and the barcode 202B indicating different identification information may be attached. In this case, in the vicinity of the barcode 202A, a visual mark 203A that displays the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202A in text (in the illustrated example, "payment jam (immediately after the deposit opening)") and the barcode 202A. The arrow mark 204A, which indicates the transport direction when reading the above, is attached. Further, in the vicinity of the barcode 202B, a visual mark 203B for displaying the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202B in text (in the illustrated example, "payment jam (end of transport portion)") and a barcode 202B are displayed. An arrow mark 204B indicating the transport direction at the time of reading is attached.

In this case, among the barcodes 202A and 202B, when the banknote deposit port 26 is loaded, for example, the banknote identification unit 140 reads the barcode located on the upper side in the vertical direction of the banknote type medium 201, and the identification information is transmitted to the control unit 18. It is transmitted, and the control unit 18 is made to generate a pseudo device event based on the identification information. For example, when loading into the bill deposit slot 26, when the front side of the bill type medium 201 is the front side and the back side of the bill type medium 201 is the back side, the arrow mark 204A is located on the front side and the upper side of the bill. When the mold medium 201 is set in the bill deposit slot 26, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202A and transmits the identification information to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information. Let me. Further, for example, when the bill type medium 201 is set in the bill deposit slot 26 so that the arrow mark 204B is located on the surface and above the bill deposit slot 26, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202B. The identification information is transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information.

That is, the bill identification unit 140 is a bar indicating identification information attached to a predetermined side of the barcodes 202A and 202B in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the bill type medium 201 when the bill type medium 201 passes through. The code is read and transmitted to the control unit 18. This also makes it possible to reduce the types of banknote-type media 201 by half. When the bill-type medium 201 is transported by the bill transport unit 127 with the short side along the transport direction, the extension of the long side orthogonal to the short side on one side surface in the thickness direction. The positions may be shifted in the current direction, and different identification information barcodes may be attached.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, the bill-type medium 201 has an extension of a short side orthogonal to a long side along the transport direction of the bill transport unit 127 on one side surface 211 in the thickness direction. Bar code 202C (first identification information) and bar code 202D (second identification information) indicating different identification information from each other by shifting the position in the current direction are attached, and as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the thickness direction. Bar code 202E (third identification information) and bar code 202F (fourth identification information) indicating different identification information are attached to the other side surface 212 by shifting the position in the extending direction of the short side. Is also good.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7A, the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202C is texted in the vicinity of the barcode 202C (the illustrated example is "storage full (first storage)". ) Is attached to the visual mark 203C and the arrow mark 204C indicating the transport direction when the barcode 202C is read. Further, in the vicinity of the barcode 202D, a visual mark 203D for displaying the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202D in text (the illustrated example is "storage full (second storage)") and the barcode. An arrow mark 204D indicating the transport direction when the 202D is read is attached. Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202E is texted in the vicinity of the barcode 202E (the illustrated example is "storage full (third storage)"). The visual mark 203E displayed by and the arrow mark 204E indicating the transport direction when the bar code 202E is read are attached. Further, in the vicinity of the barcode 202F, a visual mark 203F for displaying the pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 202F in text (the illustrated example is "storage full (fourth storage)") and the barcode. An arrow mark 204F indicating the transport direction when the 202F is read is attached. Here, for example, the first storage is a bill storage 120, the second storage is a bill storage 121, the third storage is a bill storage 122, and the fourth storage is a bill storage 123. Is.

In this case, when the bill-type medium 201 is loaded into the bill deposit slot 26, the front side of the bill-type medium 201 is the front side, and the back side of the bill-type medium 201 is the back side. For example, the bar code 202 located on the upper side in the vertical direction is read and transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 is made to generate a pseudo device event based on the identification information. For example, when the bill type medium 201 is set in the bill deposit slot 26 so that the arrow mark 204C is located on the surface and above the bill deposit slot 26 when the bill is loaded, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202C and identifies the identification information. Is transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information. Further, for example, when the banknote type medium 201 is set in the banknote deposit slot 26 so that the arrow mark 204D is located on the surface and above the bill deposit slot 26, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202D and sets the bill type medium 201 in the bill deposit slot 26. The identification information is transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information. Further, for example, when the bill type medium 201 is set in the bill deposit slot 26 so that the arrow mark 204E is located on the surface and above the bill deposit slot 26 when the bill is loaded into the bill deposit slot 26, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202E and sets the bill type medium 201 in the bill deposit slot 26. The identification information is transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information. Further, for example, when the banknote type medium 201 is set in the banknote deposit opening 26 so that the arrow mark 204F is located on the surface and above the banknote deposit port 26 when the banknote deposit port 26 is loaded, the banknote identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202F and the banknote type medium 201 is set. The identification information is transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information.

That is, the bill identification unit 140 is a predetermined side in the thickness direction of the bill identification unit 140 when the bill type medium 201 passes through the barcodes 202C to 202F indicating the first to fourth identification information that are all different. And the one attached to the predetermined side in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction is read and transmitted to the control unit 18. This makes it possible to reduce the types of bill-type media 201 to 1/4. In other words, one bill-type medium 201 can have up to four simulated device event information, and the number of paper-type media 201 to be prepared can be reduced. When the bill-type medium 201 is transported by the bill transport unit 127 with the short side along the transport direction, the extension of the long side orthogonal to the short side on one side surface in the thickness direction. The first and second barcodes showing different identification information are printed by shifting the positions in the current direction, and the positions are shifted in the extending direction of the long side on the other side surface in the thickness direction so that the first barcodes are different from each other. , The third and fourth barcodes showing identification information different from the second barcode may be printed.

An identification code other than the barcode 202 may be used as the identification information attached to the bill-type medium 201. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a QR code (registered trademark) 205 indicating the same identification information is attached to the bill-type medium 201 as an identification code instead of the barcode 202 shown in FIG. Of course, it is also possible to attach a QR code (registered trademark) to the bill-type medium 201 instead of the barcodes 202A and 202B shown in FIG. 6, and to replace the barcodes 202C to 202F shown in FIG. 7 with the QR code (registered trademark). ) Can be attached to the bill-type medium 201. Further, the identification information attached to the bill-type medium 201 may be a simple symbol or pattern as long as the bill identification unit 140 can be identified.

Also, for the visual marks 203, 203A to 203F, instead of displaying the text, another display such as a symbol, a pattern, or a figure corresponding to the pseudo device event of the attached barcodes 202, 202A to 202F on a one-to-one basis is attached. You may. That is, the visual marks 203, 203A to 203F may be anything as long as they remind the operator of the contents of the simulated device event.

The money processing device 1 has a coin-type medium 221 (money, a medium for generating a pseudo device event) as shown in FIG. The coin-type medium 221 is used when a pseudo device event is generated in the coin processing unit 5. The coin-type medium 221 has a disk shape like a coin, and the coin processing device 1 transports the coin-type medium 221 by the coin transport unit 30 like a coin, and at that time, the coin identification unit 33 identifies the coin-type medium 221. Therefore, the coin transport unit 30 transports coins composed of the coin-type medium 221 and coins, which are the medium for generating the simulated device event, and the coin identification unit 33 transports the coin-type medium 221 and coins transported by the coin transport unit 30. Identify coins consisting of.

The coin-type medium 221 has a barcode 222 attached to one surface in the thickness direction as an identification code indicating identification information corresponding to a simulated device event to be generated. The barcode 222 is attached to the center of the coin-type medium 221. Further, on the coin-type medium 221, a visual mark 223 composed of text information of a pseudo device event name corresponding to the identification information of the barcode 222 is also formed alongside the barcode 222. In the coin-type medium 221 shown in FIG. 9, the bar code 222 includes identification information indicating the occurrence of a deposit jam in the vicinity of the coin deposit port 22 in the coin transport unit 30, so that the pseudo device event is a coin. A visual mark 223 of "N1" is attached to indicate that the jam is a deposit jam and the position of occurrence is immediately after the coin deposit opening. By attaching the visual mark 223, the operator can understand the contents of the simulated device event at a glance and can easily use the coin-type medium 221 properly. The barcode 222 and the visual mark 223 may be printed directly on the base disk which is the base of the coin-shaped medium 221 or may be engraved, and the printed sheet is attached to the base disk of the coin-shaped medium 221. Is also good.

Such a coin-type medium 221 is used for coin deposit jam generation, coin withdrawal jam generation, coin storage full generation, coin withdrawal reject full generation, coin storage empty generation, and coin deposit rejected generation. Each is made in. The coin-type media 221 for generating coin deposit jam, coin withdrawal jam, coin storage full generation, and coin storage emptyness generation are produced for each generation location in the coin processing apparatus 1.

Then, the coin processing device 1 conveys the coin-type medium 221 by the coin transport unit 30, and when the coin identification unit 33 reads the barcode 222, the control unit 18 pseudo-corresponds to the read identification information of the barcode 222. Performs pseudo device event generation processing that generates a device event.

<Coin deposit jam>
First, a case where the simulated device event to be generated is a coin deposit jam will be described. The coin deposit jam is a jam of coins when the coins are transported from the coin deposit port 22 to the coin storages 41a to 41f.

When the coin processing device 1 is to generate the coin deposit jam immediately after the coin deposit port 22 as a simulated device event, the operator sets the coin type medium 221 for generating the coin deposit jam immediately after the coin deposit port 22. Set one coin in the coin deposit slot 22. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the coin processing unit 5. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the coin processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the coin-type medium 221 from the coin deposit port 22 into the coin processing unit 5, and conveys it to the coin identification unit 33 by the coin transport unit 30.

Then, the coin identification unit 33 reads the barcode 222 attached to the coin-shaped medium 221. Based on the identification information of the barcode 222, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is a coin deposit jam and occurs immediately after the coin deposit port 22.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the coin deposit jam, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first transports the coin-type medium 221 to a predetermined stop location according to the identification information of the barcode 222 by the coin transport unit 30. The place where the coin-type medium 221 is stopped is a predetermined place on the coin transport unit 30, and in this case, the identification information of the bar code 222 is the coin deposit jam at the position immediately after the coin deposit port 22. Is shown, the coin-type medium 221 that has been fed out from the coin deposit port 22 and transported by the coin transport unit 30 and passed through the coin identification unit 33 is transferred by the switchback of the coin transport unit 30 to the first deposit transport path. Return to a predetermined position detected by the coin detection sensor (not shown) in the vicinity of the coin deposit port 22 in 31. Then, the coin transport unit 30 is stopped to stop the coin-type medium 221 at a predetermined position in the vicinity of the coin deposit port 22. At the time of this switchback transfer, the coin type medium 221 passes through the coin identification unit 33 again, but at this time, the coin identification unit 33 does not read the barcode 222.

The control unit 18 continues to send the coin deposit jam to the input display unit 13 of the POS register 11 as a pseudo device event display based on the identification information of the barcode 222 identified by the coin identification unit 33 as a pseudo device event generation process. The operator is notified by displaying the fact that the pseudo device event has occurred and the position immediately after the coin deposit port 22, which is the position where the pseudo device event of the coin deposit jam occurs. At this time, as a simulated device event display, an error canceling procedure, that is, a procedure for removing the coin-type medium 221 in the vicinity of the coin deposit port 22 in the first deposit transfer path 31, is displayed on the input display unit 13.

In this way, when the coin identification unit 33 reads the identification information of the barcode 222 attached to the coin-type medium 221 for generating the simulated device event, the control unit 18 positions the coin at a position corresponding to the identification information. The mold medium 221 is conveyed by the coin transport unit 30, and a pseudo device event generation process is performed in which a pseudo device event display corresponding to the identification information is displayed on the input display unit 13.

Then, in the control unit 18, the coin processing unit unit 62 is pulled out from the housing 61, the coin-type medium 221 in the vicinity of the coin deposit port 22 in the first deposit transfer path 31 is eliminated, and the coin processing unit unit 62 is housing.

Then, the coin identification unit 33 reads the barcode 222 attached to the coin-shaped medium 221. Based on the identification information of the barcode 222, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is the coin withdrawal rejectful.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the coin withdrawal rejectful, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first discharges the coin-type medium 221 to the coin reject port 24 by the switchback transfer of the coin transfer unit 30 and the operation of the reject distribution gate 36, and at the same time, causes the input display unit 13 to perform a simulated device event. As a display, the fact that the pseudo device event is rejectable for coin withdrawal and the procedure for canceling the error are displayed.

After that, when the operation for canceling the coin withdrawal rejectful in the spare storage 51 is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 does not pay out the coins from the spare storage 51. The input display unit 13 is displayed to indicate that the coin withdrawal reject full release operation for the spare storage 51 has been properly performed, and to prompt the coin-type medium 221 to be taken out from the coin reject port 24. .. In this state, when it is confirmed that the coin type medium 221 is not detected by the coin detection sensor of the coin reject port 24, the control unit 18 resets the coin processing device 1 and generates a simulated device event of the coin withdrawal reject full. To cancel. That is, the coin-type medium 221 is used as a setting key for transmitting the content of the coin withdrawal rejectful simulated device event to the control unit 18.

<Coin storage empty>
Next, the case where the simulated device event to be generated is the coin storage empty will be described. The coin storage empty means that any of the coin storages 41a to 41f for storing coins used for change is emptied.

When the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41a is generated in the coin processing device 1 as a simulated device event, the operator moves the coin-type medium 221 for generating the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41a to the coin deposit slot 22. Set one. Then, the operator inputs an operation to change the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode via the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, and further generates a pseudo device event in the coin processing unit 5. Input the operation to that effect. Then, the control unit 18 sets the coin processing device 1 in the training mode, takes in the coin-type medium 221 from the coin deposit port 22 into the coin processing unit 5, and conveys it to the coin identification unit 33 by the coin transport unit 30.

Then, the coin identification unit 33 reads the barcode 222 attached to the coin-shaped medium 221. Based on the identification information of the barcode 222, the control unit 18 identifies that the simulated device event generated in the training mode is the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41a.

Next, the control unit 18 performs a pseudo device event generation process according to the coin storage empty, which is a pseudo device event. That is, the control unit 18 first discharges the coin-type medium 221 to the coin reject port 24 by the switchback transfer of the coin transport unit 30 and the operation of the reject distribution gate 36, and at the same time, pseudo to the input display unit 13. As the device event display, the fact that the simulated device event is the coin storage empty in the coin storage 41a and the procedure for canceling the error are displayed.

Then, when the operation of releasing the coin storage empty in the coin storage 41a is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 does not replenish the coin storage 41a without replenishing the coins. , The input display unit 13 is displayed as a simulated device event display indicating that the coin storage empty emptying operation for the coin storage 41a has been properly performed, and the coin-type medium 221 is taken out from the coin reject port 24.

After that, when it is confirmed that the coin type medium 221 is not detected by the coin detection sensor of the coin reject port 24, the control unit 18 resets the coin processing device 1 and releases the simulated device event occurrence state of the coin storage empty. .. That is, the coin-type medium 221 is used as a setting key for transmitting the content of the simulated device event of the coin storage empty to the control unit 18.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 222 of the coin-type medium 221 indicates the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41b, the control unit 18 uses the coin-type medium 221 to carry the coin-type medium 221 at the coin-rejecting port 24. The input display unit 13 is displayed to indicate that the simulated device event is the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41b and the procedure for canceling the error.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 222 of the coin-type medium 221 indicates the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41c, the control unit 18 uses the coin-type medium 221 to carry the coin-type medium 221 at the coin-rejecting port 24. The input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41c and the procedure for canceling the error. After that, when the operation of releasing the coin storage empty in the coin storage 41c is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 sends the input display unit 13 about the coin storage 41c. It is displayed that the coin storage emptying operation has been properly performed and that the coin-type medium 221 is promptly taken out. In this state, when it is confirmed that the coin type medium 221 is not detected by the coin detection sensor of the coin reject port 24, the control unit 18 resets the coin processing device 1 to display the simulated device event occurrence state of the coin storage empty. unlock.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 222 of the coin-type medium 221 indicates the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41d, the control unit 18 uses the coin-type medium 221 to carry the coin-type medium 221 at the coin-rejecting port 24. The input display unit 13 is displayed to indicate that the simulated device event is the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41d and the procedure for canceling the error. After that, when the operation of releasing the coin storage empty in the coin storage 41d is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 sends the input display unit 13 about the coin storage 41d. It is displayed that the coin storage emptying operation has been properly performed and that the coin-type medium 221 is promptly taken out. In this state, when it is confirmed that the coin type medium 221 is not detected by the coin detection sensor of the coin reject port 24, the control unit 18 resets the coin processing device 1 to display the simulated device event occurrence state of the coin storage empty. unlock.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 222 of the coin-type medium 221 indicates the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41e, the control unit 18 uses the coin-type medium 221 to carry the coin-type medium 221 at the coin-rejecting port 24. The input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41e and the procedure for canceling the error. After that, when the operation of releasing the coin storage empty in the coin storage 41e is properly input to the input operation unit 12 of the POS register 11, the control unit 18 sends the input display unit 13 about the coin storage 41e. It is displayed that the coin storage emptying operation has been properly performed and that the coin-type medium 221 is promptly taken out. In this state, when it is confirmed that the coin type medium 221 is not detected by the coin detection sensor of the coin reject port 24, the control unit 18 resets the coin processing device 1 to display the simulated device event occurrence state of the coin storage empty. unlock.

Similarly, when the identification information of the bar code 222 of the coin-type medium 221 indicates the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41f, the control unit 18 uses the coin-type medium 221 to carry the coin-type medium 221 at the coin-rejecting port 24. The input display unit 13 displays that the simulated device event is the coin storage empty of the coin storage 41f and the procedure for canceling the error.

In this way, when only the coin-type medium 221 for generating the simulated device event of the coin storage empty is identified by the coin identification unit 33 and discharged to the coin reject port 24 in the same manner as the coin reject processing, the target coin storage The state of the coin storage empty can be generated in the coin processing device 1 as a pseudo device event. Therefore, even if the coins are stored in the coin storages 41a to 41f, the coin storage empty state can be generated in a pseudo manner. That is, since it is training to release the pseudo-generated coin storage empty state, the operation procedure for replenishing coins to the coin storage to be processed among the coin storages 41a to 41f is the operation procedure. It is not necessary to actually perform the replenishment operation that involves the transportation of coins as described above. Therefore, the operator of the money processing device 1 can immediately perform the training for releasing the state, and the system developer can also efficiently perform the debugging work.

Here, as the identification information attached to the coin-type medium 221, an identification code other than the barcode 222 may be adopted. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a QR code (registered trademark) 225 indicating the same identification information is attached to the coin-type medium 221 as an identification code instead of the barcode 222 shown in FIG. Further, the identification information attached to the coin-shaped medium 221 may be a simple pattern or figure as long as it can be identified by the coin identification unit 33. That is, especially when the coin-shaped medium 221 has a small diameter, it may be easier to manufacture a simple pattern or figure because the surface area is small. In that case, the control unit 18 identifies the content of the simulated device event by the coin identification unit 33 taking an image of the surface of the coin-type medium 221 and recognizing the figure.

Further, since the surface area of the coin-shaped medium 221 having the same size as the coin is small, the visual mark 223 attached to the coin-shaped medium 221 is symbolized as a simple one reminiscent of the contents of the simulated device event. Is also good. If possible, the text of the pseudo device event name itself may be added.

Further, as the coin-shaped medium 221, for example, a coin-shaped medium 221 in which both sides of the coin-shaped medium 221 are displayed in a color such as red or blue may be used. In this case, the coin identification unit 33 determines the color of the coin-type medium 221 and the control unit 18 recognizes the identification information set in advance corresponding to the color. Further, the magnetic information and the thickness information of the coin-shaped medium 221 may be used in combination with the color of the coin-shaped medium 221. As a result, variations as identification information will increase.

According to the money processing device 1 of the above embodiment, when the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcodes 202, 202A to 202F indicating the identification information attached to the bill type medium 201, the control unit 18 receives the identification information. The bill-type medium 201 is conveyed by the bill-carrying unit 127 to a position corresponding to the above, and a pseudo-device event generation process is performed in which the input display unit 13 displays the pseudo-device event display according to the identification information. Therefore, the setting work for generating the pseudo device event related to the bill processing in the money processing device 1 becomes easy.

Further, when the coin identification unit 33 reads the barcode 222 indicating the identification information attached to the coin type medium 221, the control unit 18 causes the coin type medium 221 to be placed at a position corresponding to the identification information by the coin transport unit 30. Along with carrying the coin, a pseudo device event generation process is performed in which the input display unit 13 displays the pseudo device event display corresponding to the identification information. Therefore, the setting work for generating the pseudo device event related to coin processing in the money processing device 1 becomes easy.

That is, the operator does not need to perform complicated setting work to generate the pseudo device event, and can immediately start training (pseudo device event experience). Here, since the pseudo device event generation by the bill-type medium 201 and the coin-type medium 221 can be easily performed even by a person who is unfamiliar with the money processing device 1, training of an operator who uses the money processing device 1 in normal operation is performed. In addition to being able to be used as a (pseudo-error experience), even those who are involved in system development of the high-end machine POS cash register 11 and the low-end machine coin processing device main body 10 can efficiently perform development work. In other words, even when performing error-type soft debugging, errors such as transport errors (banknote jam and coin jam) that are usually difficult to occur, and storage full errors that are extremely time-consuming to generate are simulated. Since it is possible to put it out, it is possible to proceed with system development efficiently.

In addition, the simulated device event related to banknote processing corresponds to all of banknote deposit jam, banknote deposit reject, banknote storage full, banknote withdrawal jam, banknote withdrawal reject full, and banknote storage empty. The corresponding pseudo device event can be raised. Note that the simulated device event related to banknote processing corresponds to at least one of banknote deposit jam, banknote deposit reject, banknote storage full, banknote withdrawal jam, banknote withdrawal reject full, and banknote storage empty. Just do it.

In addition, the simulated device event related to coin processing corresponds to all of coin deposit jam, coin deposit reject, coin storage full, coin withdrawal jam, coin withdrawal reject full and coin storage empty. The corresponding pseudo device event can be raised. The simulated device event related to coin processing corresponds to at least one of coin deposit jam, coin deposit reject, coin storage full, coin withdrawal jam, coin withdrawal reject full, and coin storage empty. Just do it.

Further, since the visual marks 203, 203A to 203F are attached to the bill-type medium 201 and the visual marks 223 are attached to the coin-type medium 221, which pseudo device is the bill-type medium 201 and the coin-type medium 221. It is possible to determine at a glance whether or not it corresponds to an event. Therefore, it is possible to easily select the target bill-type medium 201 for generating a simulated device event from among a plurality of types of bill-type media 201, and the target pseudo-device from among the plurality of types of coin-type media 221. The coin-type medium 221 for generating an event can be easily selected.

If the bar code 202 of the above is read and transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information, the type of the bill-type medium 201 can be reduced by half. It will be possible.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the banknote-type medium 201 is positioned on one surface in the thickness direction in the extending direction of the short side orthogonal to the long side along the transport direction of the bill transport unit 127. Barcodes 202A and 202B, which are staggered to indicate different identification information, are attached, and among the barcodes 202A and 202B, the bill identification unit 140 is attached to a predetermined side in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the bill type medium 201. If the bar code is read and transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information, the type of the bill-type medium 201 can be reduced by half. It will be possible.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7A, the bill-type medium 201 has a short side extending on one side surface 211 in the thickness direction, which is orthogonal to the long side along the transport direction of the bill transport unit 127. Barcodes 202C and 202D, which are displaced in the direction and show different identification information, are attached, and as shown in FIG. 7B, the short side extends on the other side surface 212 in the thickness direction. A bar code 202E and a bar code 202F that are displaced in the direction and show identification information different from each other and different from the bar codes 202C and 202D are attached, and the banknote identification unit 140 is attached to the banknote type medium 201 among the bar codes 202C to 202F. The barcode attached to the predetermined side in the thickness direction and the predetermined side in the direction orthogonal to the transport direction is read and transmitted to the control unit 18, and the control unit 18 generates a pseudo device event based on the identification information. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the types of the bill-type medium 201 to 1/4.

On the other hand, when the bill type medium 201 is set in the bill deposit slot 26 and the deposit processing operation in the normal operation mode is performed, the bill identification unit 140 reads the barcode 202 of the bill type medium 201 in the deposit processing. The control unit 18 may automatically switch the money processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode for the banknote processing unit 6. Similarly, by setting the coin type medium 221 in the coin deposit port 22 and performing the operation of the deposit process in the normal operation mode, when the coin identification unit 33 reads the barcode 222 of the coin type medium 221 in the deposit process, it is controlled. The unit 18 may automatically switch the coin processing device 1 from the normal operation mode to the training mode for the coin processing unit 5.
