The register control unit 35 stores the received withdrawal change amount in the register storage unit 36, reads out the total amount of goods, the input amount, and the withdrawal change amount from the register storage unit 36, issues a receipt on which these are printed, End the process.
The attendant hands over the issued receipt to the customer, and then inserts the cash received from the customer into the coin deposit slot 4 and the bill receiving unit 8 of the automatic change machine 1.

  As a result, the control unit 30 of the automatic change machine 1 sorts the coins inserted by the coin deposit / withdrawal unit 2 into denominations and stores them in a coin storage (not shown), and the bills inserted by the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 3. Each banknote is stored in the banknote storages 22a, 22b, and 22c according to the denomination, the number of coins and banknotes stored for each denomination is counted, and the storage of each banknote storage stored in the storage unit 31 according to the counting result is stored. The banknote information table is updated and the process ends.

Next, the collection process will be described.
In order to collect some of the banknotes stored in the banknote storages 22a, 22b, and 22c, when moving the banknotes to the banknote collection cassette 9, the clerk operates the display operation unit 10 to denomination and the number of banknotes to be collected. Enter.

For example, when an input to collect 100 5,000 yen coupons is made, the control unit 30 separates the banknotes one by one from the banknote storage 22b, and conveys the separated banknotes to the banknote discrimination unit 21. After confirming that it is a 5,000 yen ticket, it is conveyed to the banknote collection cassette 9.
Note that, with regard to a withdrawal reject banknote that has not been discriminated from the 5,000-yen bill by the banknote discriminating unit 21, the banknote is transported and stored in the banknote reject box 23.

  In this way, the control unit 30 conveys and stores 100 5,000 yen coupons in the banknote collection cassette 9 and also feeds out 5,000 yen from the table relating to the banknote storage 22c stored in the storage unit 31. Update the contents of the total number of tickets and the number of 5,000 yen tickets sent to the banknote collection cassette 9, and update the contents of the number of 5,000 yen tickets collected in the table related to the banknote collection cassette 9 A screen with a message indicating that the collection process has been completed is displayed on the display unit of the operation unit 10, and the collection process is terminated.

  Thereafter, the clerk removes the banknote collection cassette 9 from the automatic change machine 1, takes out the collected banknotes, and attaches the banknote collection cassette 9 to the automatic change machine 1 again.

  The control unit 30 first examines banknotes in the banknote storage 22a that stores the thousand yen coupons. Therefore, banknotes are fed one by one from the banknote storage 22 a to the banknote transport path 20 and transported to the banknote discrimination unit 21.

The control part 30 discriminates a banknote by the banknote discrimination part 21, conveys and accumulate | stores the banknote discriminated from a thousand yen ticket, ie, the banknote received part 8, to the banknote acceptance part 8, and the banknote discriminated from the reject banknote is a banknote reject warehouse. It is conveyed to 23 and stored.
At this time, the shutter 8a of the banknote receiving unit 8 is in a closed state so that it cannot be opened even after all banknotes have been identified. It is used as a temporary storage unit for accumulating.

  The control unit 30 counts the number of banknotes confirmed by the banknote discrimination unit 21 and the number of banknotes identified as reject banknotes, and stores them in the storage unit 31, and stores them in the banknote storage 22 a. When all the banknotes are identified and transported to the banknote receiving unit 8 is completed, banknotes accumulated in the banknote receiving unit 8 are fed out one by one and transported and stored in the banknote storage 22a.

  When the conveyance to the banknote storage 22a is completed, the control unit 30 updates the contents of the table related to the banknote storage 22a based on the number of thousand yen coupons stored in the storage unit 31 and the number of rejected banknotes.

  Moreover, when the banknote in the banknote storage 22a is scrutinized, the control unit 30 counts the wording that the banknote in the banknote storage 22a is being scrutinized on the display unit of the display operation unit 10. Based on the number of banknotes, the number of banknotes that have been scrutinized is displayed on the display unit to indicate the status of scrutiny.

  After the scrutiny is completed and the banknote is moved to the banknote storage 22a, the fact that the scrutiny of the banknote storage 22a is completed and the number of thousand yen coupons resulting from the scrutiny are displayed on the display operation unit 10.

After the banknote receiving unit 8 becomes empty, the control unit 30 performs a cash scrutiny process on the 5,000 yen bills stored in the banknote storage 22b in the same manner as the above operation, and the banknote storage unit 22b While transporting the 5,000 yen ticket to the banknote receiving unit 8, the number of banknotes is counted, and the counted number of 5,000 yen tickets is stored in the storage unit 31.
Further, the control unit 30 pays out the 5,000 yen ticket stored in the banknote receiving unit 8 and returns it to the banknote storage 22b, and then performs a cash scrutiny process on the 10,000 yen ticket stored in the banknote storage 22c.

  In this way, the control unit 30 pays out banknotes from the banknote storages 22a, 22b, and 22c that store banknotes of each designated denomination, and counts the number of banknotes of each denomination.

In addition, the control part 30 is in the middle of scrutinizing the banknote, that the display part of the display operation part 10 is being scrutinized, the denomination of the banknote being scrutinized, and the banknote of the denomination at that time A screen displaying the number of items that have been scrutinized is displayed on the display operation unit 10 to display the status of scrutiny.
When the cash scrutiny process is completed, the fact that the scrutiny is completed and the number of banknotes of each denomination are displayed on the display operation unit 10, and the result of the cash scrutiny process is shown to the staff.

The control unit 30 creates a scrutiny result table indicating the result of the cash scrutiny process based on the results counted in this way, and stores the created scrutiny result table in the storage unit 31.
The control unit 30 recognizes the time when the cash scrutiny processing is performed by a clock function (not shown) or the like, and stores the recognized time in association with the scrutiny result table.

Here, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a scrutiny result table.
As shown in FIG. 6, the scrutiny result table stores the amount of banknotes and the number of banknotes in association with the code indicating the denomination of the banknotes, and the banknote storage boxes 22a, 22b, 22c as described above. When the banknotes are scrutinized, the number of bills related to three types of banknotes, that is, 1000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10,000 yen is stored.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the cash scrutiny process is performed, the banknotes to be scrutinized from the collection box by the staff are transported and temporarily stored in the banknote receiving unit. Since it is possible to eliminate the trouble of taking it out and inserting it into the bill receiving part, convenience for the staff is improved.

  In addition, the banknote receiving unit has a space for storing banknotes and a mechanism for paying out banknotes into the banknote transport path. The automatic change machine itself can be made smaller than when a new storage for scrutiny is provided, and an automatic change machine can be manufactured at a lower cost.

  Furthermore, generally, there is a method of adding a banknote separating and feeding mechanism to the banknote collecting cassette and moving the banknote in the banknote collecting cassette to the storage, but automatic change by adding parts and actuators for the banknote separating and feeding mechanism to the banknote collecting cassette. Since the size of the machine increases, the present invention can achieve the effect of reducing the size of the automatic change machine and manufacturing it at low cost even for such a technique.

  In addition, the banknote storage is provided with banknote entrances at two locations on the upper and lower sides, a lower banknote transport path connected to the banknote transport path is added, and a partition plate is provided between them to make the banknote storage two It is generally considered that the banknotes in the banknote storage are fed out from one doorway and returned to the other doorway through the lower banknote transport path, and the number of fed banknotes is counted. However, even with this method, the automatic change machine is enlarged due to the addition of the lower bill conveyance path and the bill feeding mechanism provided at the doorway. The effect that it can manufacture at low cost is obtained.

  In the present embodiment, when a detailed examination is performed, a denomination is specified, but a storage case may be specified instead of the denomination. Moreover, you may make it perform a detailed examination for every storage according to the order decided beforehand.

  The configuration of the automatic change machine 1 and the POS register 15 of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. The difference is that processing is performed.
