(Processing performed by the money processing system)
Next, the processing performed by the money processing system 1 will be explained.
Here, the processing flow of the inspection process performed by the money processing system 1 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described.
It is assumed that the cashier 20, the money exchange machine 30, and the cash management device 40 are registered as devices that can communicate with the teller machine 10 by the teller machine control unit 106f via the "cooperative device registration" menu. . Further, it is assumed that the examination execution date and time is set by the teller machine control unit 106f via the "night examination setting" menu and is stored as an examination schedule in the teller machine storage unit 106e. In addition, the closing process is performed before the set inspection execution date and time (for example, after the close of business on that day), and the cash processing unit of the teller machine 10, the cash processing unit of the cashier 20, and the cash processing unit of the exchange machine 30 It is assumed that the power of the unit and the drive system of the cash management device 40 is in an OFF state. Note that even in this state, communication between the teller machine 10, the cashier 20, the money exchange machine 30, and the cash management device 40 is possible.

(Processing of scrutiny performed on inspection execution date and time)
First, the detailed examination process performed at the detailed examination execution date and time shown in FIG. 10 will be described.
The teller machine control unit 106f determines at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 10 seconds) whether or not it is the set examination execution date and time (step S1).
If the teller machine control unit 106f determines that it is not the set examination execution date and time (NO in step S1), the process returns to step S1.
Further, when the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the set inspection execution date and time has come (YES in step S1), the teller machine terminal 106 changes from the standby state to the startup state and turns on the power of the cash processing unit. state. Of the cashier 20, money exchange machine 30, and cash management device 40 that are registered as devices that can communicate with the teller machine 10, the teller machine control unit 106f controls the cashier 20 that has a cash processing unit that can be automatically inspected. , and the money exchange machine 30 (step S2).
The teller machine control unit 106f determines whether there is any device (cashier 20, money changer 30) whose line is disconnected (step S3). For example, if the teller machine control unit 106f is able to find the ID of the device (cashier 20, money changer 30), it determines that there is no abnormality in the line. Further, if the teller machine control unit 106f cannot find the ID of the device (cashier 20, money changer 30), it determines that there is an abnormality in the line.
The cashier 20 and the money exchange machine 30 each start up in response to the start-up command if there is no abnormality in the line or in their own devices (steps S4, S5). Note that FIG. 9 shows a case where both the cashier 20 and the money exchange machine 30 are activated.

When the teller machine control unit 106f determines that there is a device connected through a line that cannot communicate (YES in step S3), it records it in the teller machine storage unit 106e as a device that has an abnormality in the line (step S6).

If the teller machine control unit 106f determines that there is no device connected via a line that cannot communicate (NO in step S3), it confirms the activation of the devices (cashier 20, money changer 30) (step S7), and confirms that the devices are activated. It is determined whether or not it has started (step S8).
For example, if there is no response from the device (cashier 20, money changer 30), the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the device (cashier 20, money changer 30) has not started (YES in step S8), and starts it. It is recorded in the teller machine storage unit 106e as a device that was not present (step S9).

When there is a response from the device (cashier 20, money changer 30), the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the device (cashier 20, money changer 30) has started (NO in step S8), and 20, a detailed examination command is sent to the money exchange machine 30) (step S10).
The teller machine control unit 106f executes an automatic inspection of the teller machine 10 (step S11).

The cashier control unit 202 that has received the scrutiny command executes automatic scrutiny of the cashier 20 that includes the cashier control unit 202 that has received the scrutiny command in response to the scrutiny command (step S12). Moreover, the money exchange machine control unit 302 that has received the scrutiny command executes automatic scrutiny of the money exchange machine 30 in response to the scrutiny command (step S13).
After a predetermined period of time, the teller machine control unit 106f transmits an inspection result acquisition command to the devices (cashier 20, money exchange machine 30) (step S14). The predetermined time here is the time during which each device can complete automatic scrutiny.

In response to the inspection result acquisition command, the cashier control unit 202 transmits the inspection results to the teller machine 10 (step S15). In addition, the exchange machine control unit 302 transmits the examination results (examination completion/failure, count value, match/mismatch, cause of failure, etc.) to the teller machine 10 in response to the examination result acquisition command (step S16).

The teller machine control unit 106f receives inspection results from the devices (cashier 20, money exchange machine 30). The teller machine control unit 106f records the received inspection result in the teller machine storage unit 106e (step S17).
Then, the teller machine control unit 106f transmits a termination command to the devices (cashier 20, money exchange machine 30) (step S18).
Then, the teller machine control unit 106f turns off the power supply unit 108 (step S19).

The cashier control unit 202 receives the termination command and turns off the power supply unit 207 in accordance with the received termination command (step S20). Moreover, the exchange machine control unit 302 receives the termination command and turns the power supply unit 308 off in accordance with the received termination command (step S21).

Note that the inspection results sent to the teller machine 10 in steps S15 and S16 include the following.

(If the process in scrutiny is completed normally)
The device to be scrutinized (in this case, the cashier 20 and the money changer 30) will be checked if the scrutinization is completed normally (i.e., the managed inventory stored by the device to be scrutinized and the amount of money in the device to be scrutinized). If the counted value matches), the amount of money indicated by the counted value is transmitted to the teller machine 10.
In this case, the teller machine 10 receives information on the balance indicated by the count value from the device to be inspected. Therefore, when the teller machine control unit 106f receives the balance information from the device to be inspected within a predetermined time, the teller control unit 106f determines that the balance information received from the device to be inspected is information indicating a normal inspection result. It can be determined that The predetermined time is a time set for each device to be examined, and is longer than the time during which the device to be examined can complete the examination and transmit the examination result.
Then, the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the process in the scrutiny has been performed normally when the received inventory information matches the managed inventory for the device to be inspected stored in the teller machine storage unit 106e. be able to.

(If an abnormality occurs in the processing during scrutiny)
There are three possible causes of abnormality during close inspection:
The first cause of abnormality is an abnormality in the device to be inspected or an abnormality in the communication line. Examples of abnormalities in the device to be inspected include cases where a malfunction such as a currency jam occurs in the device and inspection cannot be executed, or cases where the device cannot be started.
If an abnormality occurs due to the first cause, the teller machine 10 will not be able to receive the information on the amount in stock within the predetermined time. In this case, it can be determined that an abnormality has occurred in the device or communication line to be examined.

The second cause of abnormality is an abnormality in the money count value caused by a discrepancy between the amount of money to be counted and the actual amount of money to be counted. Possible causes of such an abnormality in the currency count include poor transportation, failure to return rejected cash, and unauthorized withdrawal of cash.
When an abnormality occurs due to this second cause, the currency count value obtained by the inspection performed by the device to be inspected does not match the managed inventory of the device to be inspected. Therefore, when the counted value of money and the managed inventory stored in the device do not match, the device to be inspected can notify the teller machine 10 that the counted value of money and the managed inventory do not match. The machine 10 can determine that a conveyance failure, failure to return rejected cash, etc. has occurred in the device to be inspected.
Additionally, if the log information of unlocking of the door to prevent easy access to the coins stored in the storage is recorded, the equipment to be scrutinized may be unable to match the counted value of the coins and the managed inventory. By transmitting the log information to the teller machine 10 along with information indicating that there is no match, the teller machine 10 can determine that there is a possibility that unauthorized withdrawal of cash has occurred in the device to be inspected. .

The third cause of the occurrence of the abnormality is a mismatch with the managed balance of the device to be examined, which is stored in the teller machine 10. Even if the teller control unit 106f receives the information on the amount of money from the device to be inspected within a predetermined time, the management balance of the device to be inspected stored in the teller machine storage portion 106e and the received inspection result are Discrepancies may occur. The reason why such a discrepancy occurs is that the processing details (transaction information) of deposits and withdrawals performed on the device to be scrutinized are not reflected in the managed balance of the device to be scrutinized, which is stored by the teller machine 10. It is possible that Therefore, if the inspection result of the device to be inspected does not match the management balance of the device to be inspected that is stored in the teller machine 10, the teller machine control unit 106f changes the details of the processing of deposits and withdrawals performed in the device to be inspected. It can be determined that it is necessary to reflect this in the management balance of the device to be inspected, which is stored in the teller machine 10.

(Scrutiny processing performed after the scrutiny execution date and time)
Next, a manual examination process performed after the examination execution date and time shown in FIG. 10 (for example, the morning after the examination execution date) will be described.
After the inspection execution date and time, when the operator turns on the power to the teller terminal 106 of the teller machine 10, the teller machine control unit 106f restores the inspection results from the automatic inspection performed at the inspection execution date and time (step S31). .
Further, a message regarding the automatic scrutiny performed on the inspection execution date and time is displayed on the teller machine operation display section 106c (step S32).
For example, the teller machine control unit 106f switches the displays shown in FIGS. 12 to 15 at predetermined time intervals (for example, every 5 seconds) and displays them on the teller machine operation display unit 106c.

In addition, the teller machine control unit 106f transmits an activation command to each of the cashiers 20, money exchange machines 30, and cash management devices 40 that are registered as devices that can communicate with the teller machine 10 (step S33).

Upon receiving the activation command, the cashier control unit 202 turns on the power supply unit 207 according to the activation command (that is, activates the cashier 20) (step S34). Moreover, the exchange machine control unit 302 that has received the activation command turns on the power supply unit 308 (that is, activates the exchange machine 30) in accordance with the activation command (step S35). Furthermore, the management device control unit 410 that has received the activation command turns on the power supply unit 412 in accordance with the activation command (that is, activates the cash management device 40) (step S36).

The operator refers to the message displayed on the teller machine operation display section 106c to identify the reason why the result of the review performed on the review execution date and time does not match the managed inventory stored in the teller machine 10.
For example, the operator selects the menu shown in FIGS. 12 to 15 to check whether the device whose inspection result from the inspection performed on the inspection execution date and time does not match the managed inventory stored in the teller machine 10. Check that there are no bills or coins stuck to the internal conveyance path, or check that there are no discrepancies caused by rejected coins. The rejected coins and the soiled coins stored in the soiled coin storage are returned to the deposit slot and re-counted. Regarding the teller machine 10, check the new bill processing unit 102 that processes new bills.
Then, the operator reflects the identified cause on the device that has the cause.

Further, the operator sets the drawer positions of all the storages included in the cash management device 40 to predetermined positions and returns them to their original positions. Thereby, when the drawer position of the storage reaches a predetermined position, the bundle detection sensor 407 detects the presence or absence of a small bundle of banknotes stored in the storage and the type of banknote. Further, when the withdrawal position of the storage reaches a predetermined position, the coin roll detection sensor 408 detects the presence or absence of coin rolls stored in the storage and the type of currency.
Then, the operator performs an operation on the teller machine operation display section 106c to obtain the count value of the small bundle of banknotes by the bundle detection sensor 407 and the count value of the coin roll by the coin roll detection sensor 408.

The operator operates the teller machine to cause the check to be performed on the device and the cash management device 40 for which the result of the check performed on the check execution date and time does not match the managed balance stored in the teller machine 10. This is performed for the display section 106c.
The teller machine control unit 106f determines whether the result of the scrutiny performed on the inspection execution date and time matches the managed balance stored in the teller machine 10, in accordance with the operation performed by the operator on the teller machine operation display unit 106c. A detailed inspection command is sent to the devices that have not been found and the cash management device 40 to perform a detailed inspection (step S37). The teller machine control unit 106f also performs manual inspection of the teller machine 10 (step S38). Note that the processing flow shown in FIG. 10 shows an example of processing when there is an error in the examination results of the cashier 20 and the money exchange machine 30 performed on the examination execution date and time.

The cashier control unit 202 that has received the inspection instruction executes manual inspection of the cash management device 40 in accordance with the inspection instruction (step S39). Moreover, the money exchange machine control unit 302 that has received the scrutiny command executes manual scrutiny of the money exchange machine 30 in accordance with the scrutiny command (step S40). The management device control unit 410 that has received the inspection instruction executes manual inspection of the cash management device 40 in accordance with the inspection instruction (step S41).

The operator performs an operation on the teller machine operation display section 106c to obtain the inspection result from the cash management device 40.
After a predetermined period of time, the teller machine control unit 106f transmits an inspection result acquisition command to the devices (cashier 20, money exchange machine 30, cash management device 40) (step S42). The predetermined time here refers to the time that each device is allowed to complete the manual review.

The cashier control unit 202 transmits the inspection result to the teller machine 10 in response to the inspection result acquisition command (step S43). The cashier control unit 202 puts the power supply unit 108 into a standby state (step S44). Moreover, the money exchange machine control unit 302 transmits the examination result to the teller machine 10 in response to the examination result acquisition command (step S45). The exchange machine control unit 302 puts the power supply unit 308 into a standby state (step S46). Furthermore, the management device control unit 410 transmits the examination results to the teller machine 10 in response to the examination result acquisition command (step S47). The management device control unit 410 puts the power supply unit 412 into a standby state (step S48).

The teller machine control unit 106f receives inspection results from the devices (cashier 20, money exchange machine 30, cash management device 40). The teller machine control unit 106f records the received inspection results in the teller machine storage unit 106e (step S49).

(Display processing performed by teller machine)
Next, the display processing performed by the teller machine 10 shown in FIG. 11 during inspection will be described.
The teller machine control unit 106f determines whether there is any device recorded in the teller machine storage unit 106e in the process of step S6 (step S51).

When the teller machine control unit 106f determines that there is a device recorded in the teller machine storage unit 106e in the process of step S6 (YES in step S51), the teller machine control unit 106f sends a first warning message indicating a line abnormality to the teller machine operation display unit 106c. It is displayed (step S52). The first warning message is a message indicating that the inspection was not completed due to a line or device. Then, the teller machine control unit 106f determines whether there is any device recorded in the teller machine storage unit 106e in the process of step S9 (step S53).
Furthermore, when the teller machine control unit 106f determines in the process of step S6 that there is no device recorded in the teller machine storage unit 106e (NO in step S51), it performs the process of step S53.

If the teller machine control unit 106f determines that there is a device recorded in the teller machine storage unit 106e in the process of step S9 (YES in step S53), the teller machine control unit 106f displays a first warning message indicating failure to start the device on the teller machine operation display unit. 106c (step S54). Then, the teller machine control unit 106f determines whether there is an abnormality in the device (step S55). For example, if the inspection result cannot be obtained in the process of step S17, the device is determined to be abnormal.

If the teller machine control unit 106f determines that there is an abnormality in the device (YES in step S55), the teller machine control unit 106f displays a first warning message indicating the device abnormality on the teller machine operation display unit 106c (step S56). The first warning message indicating this device abnormality is, for example, the display shown in FIG. 12. Then, the teller machine control unit 106f determines whether or not the results of examination by each device match the managed balance stored in each device (step S57).
Note that among menus 2 to 4 shown in FIG. 12, menu 2 is a menu for re-examining the device after checking it. Menu 3 is used to show the processing when scrutiny is interrupted for some devices and the results of other devices can be reflected (in other words, to distinguish between devices that were able to be inspected and devices that could not be inspected (separate)). ) menu). Menu 4 is a menu for indicating the process to be performed when the examination is interrupted by the device and the examination result cannot be reflected due to unknown reasons (in other words, it is assumed that there was no examination).

If the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the examination results of each device do not match the managed inventory stored in each device (NO in step S57), the teller machine control unit 106f determines whether the door opens or closes based on the log information of the door of the device that does not match. It is determined whether or not there is any information that has been detected (step S58).

If the teller machine control unit 106f determines that there is no information that the opening/closing of the door was detected in the log information of the door of the device that does not match (NO in step S58), the teller machine control unit 106f sends a second warning message to the teller machine operation display unit 106c. It is displayed (step S59). The second warning message is a message indicating that although there is a discrepancy in the inspection results, there is a high possibility that the cause is not artificial, and items to be confirmed. The second warning message is, for example, a display shown in FIG. 13. Then, the teller machine control unit 106f determines whether or not the scrutiny results from each device match the managed balance stored in the teller machine storage unit 106e (step S60).

In addition, if the teller control unit 106f determines that there is information that the opening/closing of the door has been detected in the log information of the door of the device that does not match (YES in step S58), the teller control unit 106f sends a third warning message to the teller machine operation display unit. 106c (step S61). The third warning message indicates that there is a discrepancy in the inspection results and that the cause is likely to be human, and that there is a high possibility of the cause (for example, the door may have been opened illegally). This is a message indicating. The third warning message is, for example, a display shown in FIG. 14. Then, the teller machine control unit 106f performs the process of step S60.

In addition, when the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the examination results by each device and the managed balance stored in each device match (YES in step S57), the teller machine control unit 106f performs the process of step S60. .

When the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the scrutiny results from each device do not match the managed inventory stored in the teller machine storage unit 106e (NO in step S60), the teller machine control unit 106f sends a fourth warning message to the teller machine operation display unit 106c. (Step S62). The fourth warning message is a message when a discrepancy occurs between the examination results of each device and the managed inventory managed by the teller machine, and the cause of the discrepancy is unknown. The fourth warning message is, for example, the display shown in FIG. 15. Then, the teller machine control unit 106f determines whether or not to adjust the managed inventory of the teller machine 10 to the inspection result of the device that does not match (step S63). If the operator performs an operation to match the managed inventory with the scrutiny result, the teller machine control unit 106f determines to match the managed inventory with the scrutiny result (YES in step S63), and reflects the managed inventory in the scrutiny result. (step S64). Then, the teller machine control unit 106f puts the power supply unit 108 into a standby state (step S65).

Further, if the operator does not perform an operation to adjust the managed inventory to the scrutiny result, the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the managed inventory is not to be adjusted to the scrutiny result (NO in step S63), and performs the processing in step S65. I do.
Further, when the teller machine control unit 106f determines that the examination results by each device match the managed balance stored in the teller machine storage unit 106e (YES in step S60), it performs the process of step S65.
