DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scrutiny system for comparing and checking the transaction amount of an automatic transaction apparatus widely used in financial institutions and the like with the actual money.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a financial institution or the like, an automatic transaction apparatus operated by a customer to execute a transaction such as savings and deposits has been widely adopted in order to reduce the load on window operations. This automatic transaction device
Transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, and transfers are automatically executed, and cash required for these transactions is stored in an internal safe. Also,
A system has been established for replenishing cash required for a transaction when the cash is reduced, and for collecting cash when the safe is full. In a store such as a bank provided with a number of automatic transaction devices, the transaction value of these devices is recorded and periodically matched with cash stored therein. This process is called scrutiny, and this prevents fraudulent acts and secure management.

[0003]

However, the above-described conventional inspection system for an automatic transaction apparatus has the following problems to be solved. It is most desirable that all the automatic transaction apparatuses be scrutinized all at once in a branch where many automatic transaction apparatuses are deployed. However, usually, several tens of minutes of work are required to scrutinize one automatic transaction apparatus. For this reason, it is often physically impossible to scrutinize all automated teller machines deployed in a store at once. Therefore, the automatic transaction apparatus group in the store is divided into an appropriate number of groups, and scrutiny is performed on separate days for each group.

[0004] However, when conducting a scrutiny, a clerk operates a monitoring terminal for monitoring the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus, and a clerk instructs the start of the scrutiny . Therefore, there has been a problem that a lot of burden is imposed on a staff member for operations such as the schedule management of the inspection and the inspection start control.

[0005] Further , since an attendant can easily distinguish an automatic transaction apparatus that performs close inspection on the day from an automatic transaction apparatus that does not perform close inspection, such information may cause fraudulent acts such as withdrawing cash before close inspection.

[0006]

The present invention employs the following structure to solve the above problems. <Configuration 1> An automatic transaction apparatus group and a monitoring terminal for monitoring the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus group.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below using specific examples. <Example> FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example of the system of the present invention. It is assumed that a number of automatic transaction apparatuses 1 are provided in a branch office of a certain bank as shown in the figure. In this case, the carrier 3 is configured to move on a rail 2 laid on the back of the automatic transaction apparatus 1. The carrier 3 is a device for replenishing and collecting transaction media such as cash stored in the automatic transaction device 1. The replenishment and recovery operations of the automatic transaction device 1 and the carrier 3 are monitored and controlled by the monitoring terminal 4. A system for replenishing and recovering the media of such an automatic transaction apparatus by a carrier is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 6-2 / 1990.
No. 61885.

The monitoring terminal 4 is provided with a height monitor 5, a medium replenishment and recovery controller 6, and a scrutiny scheduler 7.
The stock monitoring unit 5 is a device that monitors the stock of each automatic transaction device 1 and transmits the value to the media replenishment and recovery control unit 6. When the position of any of the automatic transaction apparatuses is insufficient, the medium replenishment and recovery control unit 6 lays the carrier 3 on the automatic transaction apparatus to replenish the medium. When the medium of one of the automatic transaction apparatuses becomes full, the carrier 3 is placed sideways and the medium is collected on the carrier 3 side.

The inspection scheduler 7 is a device newly provided in the present invention, and is a device for generating and controlling a schedule 9 for inspecting each device including the automatic transaction apparatus 1 and the carrier 3. The storage unit 8 stores a schedule 9. Then, the scrutiny scheduler 7 automatically instructs the automatic transaction apparatus 1 or the carrier 3 to be scrutinized to start the scrutiny according to the schedule 9. When a large number of automatic transaction devices are present, the scrutiny cannot be performed at once, and thus, for example, only the automatic transaction device designated every day performs the scrutiny.

FIG. 2 shows a hardware block diagram of the monitoring terminal. The monitoring terminal as described above is specifically constituted by such hardware blocks. The monitoring terminal 4 includes a processor 21, a memory 22, a keyboard 23, a floppy disk drive 24, and a display 2.
5, printer 26, communication control unit 27, disk control unit 2
8 and the disk 29 are incorporated. In addition, a carrier controller 3A is connected to the communication control unit 27 via a communication line, whereby the carrier 3 is controlled. The carrier controller 3A is incorporated in the carrier 3, and controls various operations for moving the carrier 3 forward and backward and replenishing and collecting the medium.

The processor 21 of the monitoring terminal 4 performs the medium replenishment and recovery control, and in the present invention, operates as a scrutiny scheduler or a random number generator for randomly selecting a scrutiny target. The memory 22 stores an operation program of the processor 21 and the like. The keyboard 23 is used by the attendant to input a condition for scrutiny, that is, a predetermined condition referred to as a parameter later. The floppy disk device 24 is used for various data input / output. The display 25 is provided for monitoring the result of the inspection, the inspection status, and the like. The printer 26 is used to output the inspection result and the like. Disk control unit 2
8 controls the disk 29, and the disk 29 includes the schedule storage unit shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the automatic transaction apparatus.
A general automatic transaction apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the customer deposits or withdraws cash through the deposit / withdrawal port 11. A recognition unit 12 for appraising cash is provided inside. Also, denomination cassettes 13A, 13B and 13C for storing bills for each denomination are provided. The bill is transported through the transport path 17. Banknotes that were removed from the denomination cassette and could not be recognized or were damaged are stored in the reject cassette 14. The bill to be dispensed is sent to the front and back reversing unit 15 so that the front and back are aligned, and the bill is delivered to the deposit / withdrawal port 11.

When such an automatic transaction apparatus 1 is to be inspected, all cash in the apparatus is collected in a replenishing and collecting safe 16. At the time of this collection, all cash is counted, the number of coins for each denomination is counted, and stored in the safe 16 for replenishment and collection. As a result, all the cash stored in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is collected in the refill and safe 16 and the reject cassette 14.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a case where the carrier 3 is connected to the automatic transaction apparatus 1. The configuration of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 3, but an adapter 31 is provided instead of the replenishment and collection safe provided in the apparatus of FIG. Then, the adapter 31 and a transport path 32 provided inside the carrier 3 are connected by a bridge 33. Thus, cash can be replenished or collected between the carrier 3 and the automatic transaction apparatus 1. For example, four safes 34 and 35 for replenishment and recovery can be stored in the carrier 3. When the automatic transaction apparatus is closely inspected by such a combination, all the cash stored in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is stored in the replenishing and collecting safe of the carrier 3. At this time, the recognition unit 23 of the carrier 3 evaluates the collected cash. The rejected cash is stored in the reject cassette 20. Thus, when the closeup of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is completed,
All cash is collected in any of the safes for replenishment and collection inside the carrier 3, the reject cassette 20, and the reject cassette 14 provided in the automatic transaction apparatus 1.

On the other hand, when the carrier 3 is to be inspected closely,
Banknotes are paid out once from each replenishment and collection safe 34, 35,
After performing recognition processing in the recognition unit 23, the banknotes are stored in the replenishment and collection safes 34 and 35 again. The rejected bills are stored in the reject cassette 20. The above configuration is the same not only for processing of banknotes but also for processing of coins. In the system as shown in FIG. 1, the monitoring terminal 4 monitors the contents of the transaction including the position of each transaction device. Then, the progress of the transaction is recorded. When performing review compares the these transactions elapsed and Aridaka.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the inspection method. FIG. 5A shows the contents of the log indicating the progress of the transaction. (B) shows the settlement result. For example, assuming that the amount of money was determined at what time, at what time, and at what time, the contents of the log will indicate, in order, when media was replenished, deposited, or withdrawn. It will be recorded. This is used to finally calculate the calculated position. On the other hand, by the operation described above, a count of the number of media in the denomination cassette or the reject cassette is obtained as shown in FIG. Scrutiny is matching the results of both. Through the above processing, the inspection of the medium inside the automatic transaction apparatus and the carrier is completed.

Hereinafter, a detailed inspection schedule and an inspection method of the apparatus of the present invention will be described in order. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a device configuration to be inspected. For example, in a specific example to be executed from now on, a system having the configuration shown in FIG. Here, for example, ATM1, ATM
2,... It is assumed that one carrier C1 manages the replenishment and collection of the medium for the group of six automatic transaction machines of ATM6. It is also assumed that one carrier C2 is performing replenishment and collection of a medium with respect to another group of four automatic transaction machines of ATM7 to ATM10. For example, the following schedule is set for a system having such a device configuration.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a schedule (part 1).
Is shown. First, here, a plan is made in advance to complete a scrutiny of all automatic transaction machines and carriers in 10 days. However, when the inspection is performed simultaneously in one day, the upper limit is three. The scrutiny is usually performed almost simultaneously with the designation of some of the units outside business hours. The term “simultaneously” used herein includes a case in which the scrutiny is performed immediately before and after a time period during which the scrutiny can be performed.

In the present invention, for example, the inspection scheduler 7 shown in FIG. 1 randomly selects three devices to be inspected. That is, ATM1, ATM2, and ATM9 are selected. Then, this is set as the first inspection target. In addition, the next three AT
M3, ATM8, and ATM10 are the targets of the second scrutiny. ATM5, ATM6, and carrier C1 are targets of the third scrutiny. ATM4, ATM7, Carrier C2
Is the object of the fourth scrutiny. Each scrutiny date may be specified at appropriate intervals, but all scrutiny ends on the tenth day. Also, Friday is set as a day on which scrutiny is impossible for convenience of the business office. In this way, a schedule for scrutiny as shown in FIG. 7 is determined. In addition, 10
After scrutiny of all devices within a day, the schedule is reassembled. At this time, a set of devices to be inspected is determined again at random. If you do not inform the staff of the results of these decisions, fraud will be prevented.

FIG. 8 is an operation flowchart (1) of the scheduler. With this flowchart, a more specific operation of the scheduler will be described. First,
In step S1, as described above, the conditions for scrutiny, that is, parameters are set. Here the scrutiny period is 10
Dates and days when scrutiny is impossible are Fridays, and the number of units to be scrutinized at the same time is within three. In step S2, the device to be inspected is recognized. In the case of the above example, it is recognized that a total of 10 devices are to be inspected. Then, a scrutiny execution date is determined in step S3. If the scrutiny period is 10 days, for example, 2
Make settings such as every other day, and decide to exclude days when scrutiny is not possible. Next, in step S4, three or less devices are randomly selected and allocated on each execution day. Note that the number of the automatic transaction device and the number of the carrier may each be one. This is because similar scrutiny is performed in each case. In step S5, the schedule is stored in the storage unit based on the result thus allocated.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S6, in which a timer is started, and the timer is monitored for 10 days. The timer is sensed at an appropriate time interval, and in step S7,
Determine if it is an execution date. If it is an execution day, step S
Proceeding to 8, a scrutiny is performed. If it is not the execution day, the process proceeds to step S9, and it is determined whether or not the scrutiny period has elapsed. If the scrutiny period has not elapsed, the process returns to step S6 again to perform timer sensing. In this way, every time the execution date comes, the process proceeds to step S8, and the scrutiny is performed. When the scrutiny period elapses, the process proceeds to step S10, and preparation for rescheduling is performed. For example, in this case, the storage of the schedule is deleted or various preparation processes are performed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the close inspection execution process. The scrutiny process in step S8 shown in FIG. 8 is performed as shown in FIG. First, in step S1, the schedule is read to find out which device is assigned on the day of the scrutiny execution. Then, step S2
Then, the assigned device is selected and an instruction to execute the inspection is issued. Upon receiving an execution instruction from the scheduler, step S
Each of the devices selected in Step 3 performs the inspection in the manner already described. In the next step S4, the monitoring terminal receives a report of the inspection result from each device. The result is stored in a storage device or printed out.

As described above, the devices to be inspected at the same time are selected at random in advance, and the inspections are completed several times by all the devices. If rescheduling is performed so as to change the combination of devices to be inspected at the same time each time, it becomes impossible for a staff member or the like to determine which device is to be inspected and when.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of another schedule. Here, the conditions of the scrutiny are different from the previous examples.
In other words, the scrutiny is performed preferentially from the apparatus in which the medium replenishment and collection amount, for example, the number of banknotes replenished and collected becomes 1500 or more. The purport is that the closer the cash flows between the carrier and the automated teller machine, the faster the inspection should be. Also in this case, the scrutiny period is set to 10 days, and all devices are scheduled to complete the scrutiny within 10 days.
The non-examination date is Friday. In this case, it is not possible to determine all scrutiny dates in advance. Assuming that the number of units to be inspected at one time is four, all of the four apparatuses perform the inspection in a batch on a day when the predetermined threshold value, that is, the number of replenished and collected sheets exceeds the threshold value of 1500 sheets. Then, the next scrutiny is again a day when any of the remaining four vehicles exceeds the threshold value. For this reason,
Each scrutiny date varies in interval.

In some cases, the number of replenished and collected sheets does not reach 1500 within the period of 10 days. Such a device performs a scrutiny on the last fourth scrutiny date. After that, the counter for counting the number of replenished and recovered sheets of each device is cleared again, and the next inspection is performed.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the scheduler in such a case. First, step S
In step 1, parameters are set. As parameters, the threshold value of replenishment and collection number is 1500 sheets, and the scrutiny period is 10
The setting is that the day and the non-examination day are Friday and the number of units to be inspected at the same time is four. In step S2, the devices to be inspected are recognized, and the number of replenished and recovered sheets is checked for each device in step S3. In step S4, it is determined whether the number is equal to or larger than a threshold. If not, the process returns to step S2 to recognize the next device. If it is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the device is selected as a target for detailed inspection (step S
5). In step S6, it is determined whether up to the fourth device equal to or larger than the threshold has been detected. If the fourth device has not been reached, the process returns to step S2, and the number of replenished and recovered sheets for another device is checked.

When it is determined that the threshold value has been exceeded for the four devices, the process proceeds from step S6 to step S7, and a detailed inspection execution instruction is issued to the corresponding devices. Then, step S8
Then, it is determined whether or not it is the last day of the scrutiny period. If not, the process returns to step S2. If it is the last day of the scrutiny period, the process proceeds to step S9, and if there is a remaining device that has not been scrutinized yet, the scrutiny is performed on that device. As described above, it is possible to schedule such that the closer the replenishment / collection number of the apparatuses is, the more the detailed inspection is executed.
Similarly, in addition to the media replenishment and collection amount, a threshold is set for the transaction volume of each automatic transaction device, for example, the number of transactions, the transaction amount, the number of transactions when paying attention to a specific deposit / withdrawal transaction, etc. The target to be closely inspected may be determined.

By the way, in the specific examples so far, the monitoring terminal issues a close examination instruction to the automatic transaction apparatus and the carrier to be monitored. However, for example, a host computer that centrally manages the automatic transaction devices of many branches collectively may serve as the monitoring terminal.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a system to which the present invention is applied. In this system, an arbitrary number of branches 41, 42, 43 are provided with a large number of automatic transaction devices (A
When the (TM) 1 is deployed, a host computer 40 for centrally managing these in a batch is provided.
The host computer 40 manages transactions of these automatic transaction devices. The host computer 40 may set the inspection schedule as described above and issue an instruction for inspection. As a result, systematic inspection and management of the entire system is possible.

【The invention's effect】

1. According to the scrutiny system for an automatic transaction device of the present invention described above, a scrutiny scheduler that allows a monitoring terminal that monitors the operation of a group of automatic transaction devices to select some devices at predetermined time intervals and simultaneously perform scrutiny processing is provided. The provision of the provision eliminates the need for the clerk to specify a predetermined device and issue a detailed inspection instruction each time. Therefore, the burden on the staff is reduced.

2. Scheduled scrutiny is possible because all automated teller machines are scheduled to perform at least one scrutiny process within a preset time period.
Note that all devices need only execute the scrutiny process at least once within the set period, and need not necessarily be performed only once.
According to the present invention, by automatically selecting the inspection target and causing the inspection to be performed, there is an effect on fraud prevention that the inspection target is difficult to be known to the staff. Therefore, a schedule may be set in which a device that has already been scrutinized will be scrutinized again so that the next device to be scrutinized is difficult to predict.

3. At the same time, if a part of the automatic transaction apparatus for which the scrutiny process is executed is selected by using a random number, the arbitrariness of the next device to be selected is increased, and the fraud prevention effect is high. If the number of transactions within a predetermined period is compared with a threshold value and the scrutiny process is executed in order from the one where the number of transactions exceeds the threshold value, scrutiny can be performed earlier as the effect of the scrutiny increases. In particular, such a schedule is effective for quickly collecting and operating rejected bills and the like. When the reject cassette becomes full, the operation of the apparatus must be stopped. According to this method, such a case can be prevented.

4. If you select the target for which scrutiny is to be performed preferentially with the media replenishment collection volume and transaction volume as the threshold,
Scrutiny of a device requiring high scrutiny can be performed quickly. For the devices whose medium replenishment and collection amount does not exceed the threshold value, the scrutiny process is completed for all the devices within the period if the scrutiny process is performed thereafter. 5. The target of the scrutiny is not only the automatic transaction equipment but also the carrier for media replenishment and collection. In addition, if the host computer operates as a monitoring terminal, systematic inspection and management of the automatic transaction device can be performed over a wide area.

6. All operations of the monitoring terminal as described above can be realized by control by a program of a computer constituting the monitoring terminal. Therefore, after recording the program on a floppy disk, CD-ROM or other recording medium, it is installed on a general monitoring terminal,
Or if you download via the network,
The system of the present invention is realized.
