A lock fitting 24 having a lock 23 is fastened, the plunger 25 of the solenoid 22 moves back and forth with respect to the lock hole 23, and when the solenoid 22 is turned on, the plunger 25 enters the lock hole 23 to be locked, and is unlocked by being turned off. It is configured to be.

An ID number is given to each of the lock means 20a to 20c as a card key number. On the other hand, an internal equipment handling card (hereinafter abbreviated as an ID card) in which the same ID number is recorded is manufactured. When the ID card is inserted into the card key control unit described below, the card reader reads the ID number of the ID card, refers to the ID number data registered in the memory in advance, and reads the read ID number.
Turn off the solenoid 22 of the corresponding internal device corresponding to the number
Then, the locking means 20 is unlocked. In order to execute such processing, a card key control unit 26 is built in the apparatus main body 12.

In the case of this embodiment, the ID card is divided into cash, an ID card for a manager and an ID card for a general clerk, and when the ID card for a cash manager is used, the banknote processor 15 When the lock means 20a to 20c of all internal devices including the lock means 20c are unlocked and the general clerk ID card is used, only the lock means 20a and 20b of the passbook processing unit 13 and the slip processing unit 14 are used. It is configured to be unlocked.

FIG. 3 shows a block circuit of the above-mentioned card key control unit 26. The CPL 27 reads an ID number from the inserted ID card by the card reader 28 and is registered in the memory 29.
Referring to the ID number data, specify whether the used ID card is for cash management or general use.

The memory 29 is provided with the backup circuit 30 so that even if a power failure or other power supply trouble occurs, the stored contents are retained.

The CPU 27 specifies the internal device designated by the ID number by referring to the ID number, and the passbook processing unit 13, the slip processing unit 14, and the bill processing unit connected via the I / O control circuit 31.
The 15 lock means 20a, 20b, 20c are selected and unlocked.

In this case, the power supply structure for the automatic teller machine 11 is the fourth

The lock button 37 is for re-locking the lock means, and is turned on after the operation of the internal device is completed, thereby turning on the CPU 27.
The CPU turns on the solenoid 22 of the unlocked locking means. This relock operation is also printed on journal paper in the same manner.

In order for the card key control unit 26 to perform the above operation, the ID number data of the ID card must be registered in the memory 29 of the card key control unit 26 in advance. The following registration methods exist.

The first is a method of transmitting the ID number from the host system in FIG. 4 and storing the ID number in the memory 29 of the card key control unit 26 from the main control unit 32 via the internal transmission line a. A fixed method is set in the ATM control program in the inside and stored in the memory 29 via the internal transmission line a. The third method is to store in the memory 29 via the internal transmission line a by a key input from the customer service unit 33 It is a way to make it.

Next, the operation of the internal device operation processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the clerk unlocks and opens the door key means 19 of the rear door 18 with the door key and inserts the ID card into the exposed card key control unit 26, the card reader 28 reads the ID recorded on the ID card.
The number is read (steps n1 and n2).

If there is no abnormality in the card data, the CPU 27 registers the ID number read by the card reader 28 in the memory 29.
ID for cash management, based on ID number data
It is determined whether the card is a card or not, and if so, the locking means 20a, 20b and 20c of all the internal devices 13, 14 and 15 are unlocked. Unlock the lock means 20a, 20b of only the part 14 (steps n3, n4, n5,
n6).

As a result, the internal device in each case can be pulled out, and when a staff member pulls out the internal device, performs a predetermined operation, then pushes the internal device to reload, and turns on the lock button 37, the CPU 27 is released. The locked locking means is locked to an initial state (steps n7, n8, n9, n1).
0, n11, n12).

As described above, according to this embodiment, only when the cash management person ID card is inserted, the lock of the bill processing unit 15 is unlocked, and when the general clerk ID card is inserted, the bill processing unit is unlocked. Since the lock 15 is kept in a locked state, it is possible to ensure high security in the banknote processing unit 15 involving cash and the like.

When the internal device is operated, the data relating to the operation is printed on the journal paper A in the slip processing unit 14, so that the data relating to the operation is left as a record. For example, the operation of the automatic teller machine is entrusted to a third party. In such a case, maintenance can be easily performed.

Moreover, the internal device operation data is the power of the automatic teller machine
Even if it is put to practical use in the F state (pause state), the memory 29 temporarily stores the journal paper A
Since the information is printed on the record, no omission occurs in the record, and accurate operation data can be grasped.
