First Embodiment Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a money handling apparatus for processing money according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the money processing apparatus will be described below using the money changer 1 that changes money. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be an ATM.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the money changer 1 includes a housing 15, money deposit / withdrawal units 21, 22, 23, and 35 for depositing and withdrawing money, and a front surface of the housing 15. A human sensor (person monitoring unit) 10 that detects the presence of a person on the front side with infrared rays or the like, and a plurality of human sensors 10 A control unit 70 (see FIG. 2) that transmits a warning signal (notification signal) and a transaction stop signal when a transaction is performed, and a predetermined process by receiving the warning signal and the transaction stop signal transmitted from the control unit 70 Processing units 61 and 80 (see FIG. 2), and a state display unit 62 provided on the housing 15 for displaying the processing state.

  In the present embodiment, the processing unit 61 is an operation panel 61 operated by a user, and the processing unit 80 is a transaction stop unit 80 that stops a transaction. Among these, the operation panel 61 displays a message prompting the user to stop using the warning signal transmitted from the control unit 70 (for example, “the exchange is once per person” or “the next customer "Please give me if you are waiting."). In addition, the operation panel 61 indicates that the transaction has been completed based on the transaction stop signal transmitted from the control unit 70 (for example, “Since the exchange is once per person, this transaction has been stopped. "Please take out the card." Furthermore, the transaction stop unit 80 outputs a stop signal for stopping the operation to the coin processing unit 20 and the banknote processing unit 30 described later so that money is not deposited or withdrawn.

  Further, the human sensor 10 is configured so that even if there is a time during which no person is detected, if the time is within a predetermined time, the presence of the person is continuously detected. Yes. For this reason, if the user moves, even if the presence of the moment cannot be detected, the person is continuously present, and the state of “while the presence of the person is continuously detected” is surely confirmed. Can be maintained.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the money changer 1 includes a card insertion port 41 into which a card is inserted, a card processing unit 45 that performs data processing on a card inserted from the card insertion port 41, and processing performed. A receipt processing unit 55 that prints the exchange amount and money type on the receipt, and a receipt issuing port 51 that issues the receipt printed by the receipt processing unit 55.

  Among these, the card processing unit 45 constitutes a user identification unit for identifying a user, and the control unit 70 is configured to detect a transaction when the card processing unit 45 identifies the user. ing. For this reason, according to this Embodiment, it can detect reliably that the transaction was started at the initial stage.

  In this embodiment, the card processing unit 45 is used as the user identification unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the user identification unit may be, for example, a vein that authenticates a human finger vein. An authentication unit or the like can also be used.

  Further, in the present embodiment, description will be made using a mode in which a transaction is detected by identifying the user by the card processing unit 45, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operation panel 61 is provided to the user. A transaction may be detected by being touched and operated. Even in such an aspect, it is possible to obtain an effect of reliably detecting that the transaction has been started in the initial stage.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the money depositing / withdrawing parts 21, 22, 23, and 35 are the coin depositing / withdrawing parts 21, 22, and 23 that deposit and withdraw coins, and the banknote depositing and dispensing part 35 that deposits and deposits banknotes. And have. And the coin depositing / withdrawing parts 21, 22, and 23 are a coin depositing slot 21 for depositing coins, a rose coin dispensing slot 22 for dispensing rose coins, and a bar for dispensing bars. A cash withdrawal opening 23 is provided. On the other hand, the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 35 has a banknote depositing / withdrawing port 35 for depositing / withdrawing banknotes, and banknotes that could not be read or banknotes that caused a conveyance error are also returned from here. The money changer 1 includes a coin processing unit 20 for processing coins and a banknote processing unit 30 for processing banknotes, and the coin processing unit 20 described above includes the coin deposit / withdrawal units 21 and 22. , 23, and the banknote processing unit 30 has the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 35 described above. In addition, a return port 25 is provided for returning coins that could not be identified, foreign objects mixed in the deposited money, and the like.

  Next, the operation and effect of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

  First, a user stands in front of the money changer 1 (see S11 in FIG. 3). As a result, the human sensor 10 is turned on (see S12a in FIG. 3). If the user leaves the front of the money changer 1 without inserting a card, the human sensor 10 is turned off, and the money changer 1 returns to the initial initial state.

  Next, the user inserts a card from the card insertion slot 41 (card insertion (first time)) (see S13 in FIG. 3).

  Next, the user inserts coins, bills, or other money into the coin deposit / withdrawal port 21 or the bill deposit / withdrawal port 35 (see S14 in FIG. 3). Thereafter, when the user operates the operation panel 61, the exchange pattern is selected, and the exchanged money is dispensed (see S14 in FIG. 3). More specifically, the rose coin is withdrawn from the rose coin dispensing port 22, the bar is withdrawn from the bar metal dispensing port 23, and the banknote is withdrawn from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 35. At this time, the card inserted into the card insertion slot 41 is returned to the user (see S14 in FIG. 3), and a receipt is issued.

  Thereafter, when the user stops using the money changer 1 and disappears from the front of the money changer 1, the human sensor 10 is turned off, and the money changer 1 returns to the initial initial state (S12b in FIG. 3). reference).

  On the other hand, when a user inserts a card in order to continue using the money changer 1 (card insertion (second time)) (see S15 in FIG. 3), the presence of a person is continuously detected by the human sensor 10. Since this corresponds to a case where a plurality of transactions are performed during the detection, a warning signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the operation panel 61 to prompt the user to stop using the operation panel 61. A display (warning) is displayed (see S16 in FIG. 3).

  In response to this display, when the user stops using the money changer 1 and disappears from the front of the money changer 1, the human sensor 10 is turned off, and the money changer 1 returns to the initial initial state ( (See S12c in FIG. 3).

  On the other hand, when the user stays in front of the money changer 1 without stopping the use of the money changer 1, a transaction stop signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the transaction stop unit 80 and the operation panel 61. As a result, the transaction stop unit 80 forcibly terminates the transaction by the user (see S17 in FIG. 3), and the operation panel 61 displays that the transaction is terminated to the user. At this time, the card is returned from the card insertion slot 41.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the control unit 70 determines that a plurality of transactions are performed while the presence of a person is continuously detected, the transaction by the user is forcibly terminated. . For this reason, it is possible to prevent the money changer 1 from being monopolized by one user, and as a result, the waiting time of other users can be shortened.

  In addition, even if the device described in Patent Document 1 is applied, it cannot be prevented (specifically, transactions were performed less than a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time, such as when an unfamiliar user performs an operation) Even in this case, according to the present embodiment, the transaction by the user can be forcibly terminated. For this reason, unlike the prior art, it is possible to reliably prevent the money changer 1 from being monopolized by one user.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, before the transaction is forcibly terminated, a display (warning) prompting the user to stop using is displayed on the operation panel 61 in advance. It can be expected that the monopoly of the money changer 1 is voluntarily stopped.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the transaction panel is forcibly terminated before the operation panel 61 is displayed with a display (warning) prompting the user to cancel the use. However, when the user inserts a card in order to continue using the money changer 1, the transaction by the user may be forcibly terminated without warning. According to such an aspect, the time when the money changer 1 is monopolized by one user can be further shortened.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the display (warning) that prompts the user to stop using the operation panel 61 is displayed only once, and then the transaction is forcibly terminated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The display (warning) prompting to stop the use may be continuously displayed a plurality of times (for a long time). According to such an aspect, although the time for which the money changer 1 is monopolized by one user becomes longer, the money changer 1 spontaneously while suppressing the discomfort that the user has when forcedly terminated. Can be expected to stop the monopoly.

  By the way, when the number detection part (not shown) which detects waiting number is provided in the vicinity (such as the ceiling above the money change machine 1) of the money change machine 1, the control part 70 is a number of people detection part. Only when it is determined that the waiting number is equal to or larger than a predetermined number (for example, five or more) based on the information from the above, the above-described warning or forcible termination of the transaction may be performed.

  Also, unlike the present embodiment, when an ATM is used as a money handling device, a warning is not issued or a transaction is not forcibly terminated when a card is inserted twice. If the transfer operation is performed twice, a warning may be issued or the transaction may be forcibly terminated (in this case, the transaction is detected when the operation panel 61 is touched and operated by the user). Will be.)

  Unlike this embodiment, even when the number of transactions is one, when the human sensor 10 detects that a person is present for a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes) or more, May issue a warning or kill the transaction.

Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The first embodiment is a mode in which the transaction is forcibly terminated after the display (warning) prompting to stop the use is displayed on the operation panel 61. However, the second embodiment is Before the transaction is forcibly terminated, the user is prompted to pay the fee, and is selected to permit the collection of the fee. Yes. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

  In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described. In addition, since there is a part which overlaps with 1st Embodiment, it demonstrates, abbreviate | omitting the overlapping part.

  First, a user stands in front of the money changer 1 (see S21 in FIG. 4). As a result, the human sensor 10 is turned on (see S22a in FIG. 4).

  Next, a user inserts a card from the card insertion slot 41 (card insertion (first time)) (see S23 in FIG. 4).

  Next, the user inserts coins, bills, and other money into the coin deposit / withdrawal slot 21 and the bill deposit / withdrawal slot 35 (see S24 in FIG. 4). Thereafter, when the user operates the operation panel 61, the exchange pattern is selected, the exchanged money is dispensed, and the card is returned (see S24 in FIG. 4).

  Thereafter, when the user stops using the money changer 1 and is no longer in front of the money changer 1, the human sensor 10 is turned off, and the money changer 1 returns to the initial initial state (S22b in FIG. 4). reference).

  On the other hand, when a user inserts a card in order to continue using the money changer 1 (card insertion (second time)) (see S25 in FIG. 4), the presence of a person is continuously detected by the human sensor 10. Since this corresponds to a case where a plurality of transactions are performed during the detection, a warning signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the operation panel 61 to prompt the user to stop using the operation panel 61. A display (warning) is displayed (see S26 in FIG. 4).

  In response to this display, when the user stops using the money changer 1 and disappears from the front of the money changer 1, the human sensor 10 is turned off, and the money changer 1 returns to the initial initial state ( (See S22c in FIG. 4).

  On the other hand, when the user stays in front of the money changer 1 without stopping the use of the money changer 1, a signal for confirming the intention to pay the fee is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the operation panel 61 as a notification signal. The As a result, a display requesting the user to pay a fee is displayed by the operation panel 61 (for example, a display such as “Are you paying if you continue to exchange money? Are you sure?”) (S27 in FIG. 4). The intention is selected by “Yes” or “No” (see S28 in FIG. 4). The fee required here is determined in advance and stored in the control unit 70, and may be uniformly set to the same amount. However, the fee varies depending on the type of the exchange card (for example, in the case of the best customer). Is exempted from the full fee of “0 yen” (in this case, no payment request will be required), exempted from the full fee for half-price for high-quality customers, and exempted from fees for regular customers. "Full price"). As the exchange card, a card charged with a predetermined amount may be used. Fees are collected at the time of exchange (see S24 in FIG. 4).

  Thereafter, if the intention to pay the fee is confirmed within a predetermined time (see S28 in FIG. 4), it is confirmed that the fee is to be collected by the control unit 70, and a new transaction is made by the control unit 70. Allowed. More specifically, the control unit 70 regards the second card insertion as the first card insertion, and the user can continue the transaction (see S24 in FIG. 4). On the other hand, if the willingness to pay the fee cannot be confirmed within a predetermined time or if there is no operation, the transaction is forcibly terminated (see S29 in FIG. 4) and the operation panel 61 displays that the transaction has been terminated. As a result, the card is returned from the card insertion slot 41.

  According to the present embodiment, the user is prompted to pay a fee, and a new transaction is permitted on condition that the user intends to pay the fee. For this reason, it can be expected that the monopoly of the money changer 1 is voluntarily stopped using the psychology of the user who intends to stop the transaction if the fee is paid.

  In this regard, if the fee is paid, the money changer 1 will be monopolized by one user, but it is usually impossible to pay the fee many times, so the time for monopolization is limited to some extent. be able to. In addition, you may set so that the commission requested | required when permitting a new transaction may become high whenever it goes in order with the 1st time, the 2nd time, ....

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, there also exists an effect that the financial institution which has the money change machine 1 can collect more fees.

Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, regardless of the name of the card, use of the operation panel 61 is stopped when a plurality of transactions are performed while the presence of the person is continuously detected by the human sensor 10. In the third embodiment, the presence of a person is continuously detected by the human sensor 10, although a display (warning) that prompts the user to perform is displayed and then the transaction is forcibly terminated. In the meantime, when a different user is identified by information from the card processing unit (user identification unit) 45, the transaction is forcibly terminated. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

  In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described. In addition, since there is a part which overlaps with 1st and 2nd embodiment, it demonstrates, abbreviate | omitting the overlapping part.

  First, a user stands in front of the money changer 1 (see S31 in FIG. 5). As a result, the human sensor 10 is turned on (see S32a in FIG. 5).

  Next, the user inserts a card from the card insertion slot 41 (card insertion (first time)) (see S33 in FIG. 5).

  Next, the user inserts coins, bills, and other money into the coin deposit / withdrawal slot 21 and the bill deposit / withdrawal slot 35 (see S34 in FIG. 5). Thereafter, when the user operates the operation panel 61, the exchange pattern is selected, the exchanged money is dispensed, and the card is returned (see S34 in FIG. 5).

  Thereafter, when the user stops using the money changer 1 and disappears from the front of the money changer 1, the human sensor 10 is turned off, and the money changer 1 returns to the initial initial state (S32b in FIG. 5). reference).

  On the other hand, when the user inserts a card to continue using the money changer 1 (card insertion (second time)) (see S35 in FIG. 5), the control unit 70 uses the information from the card processing unit 45. It is identified whether the user is a different user (a card with a different name) (see S36 in FIG. 5).

  At this time, when the control unit 70 identifies the different user, a transaction stop signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the transaction stop unit 80 and the operation panel 61. As a result, the transaction stop unit 80 forcibly terminates the transaction by the user (see S39 in FIG. 5), and the operation panel 61 displays that the transaction has been terminated. The card will be returned.

  For this reason, according to this Embodiment, it can prevent that the money change machine 1 is monopolized by the user who has many cards (cards of family name or employee name) with different names. In other words, the money changer 1 is usually set so that money can be exchanged once a day for one person at no charge. For this reason, there is a person who abuses such a setting and brings a plurality of other people's cards and exchanges money for free several times a day while being the same person. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent such fraud, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the money changer 1 from being monopolized.

  On the other hand, unlike the above, when the control unit 70 identifies the same user, the control unit 70 transmits a signal that prompts collection of a fee as a notification signal to the operation panel 61 (see S37 in FIG. 5). ). As a result, the operation panel 61 displays a display for confirming the intention of paying the fee to the user.

  Thereafter, if it is selected to permit the collection of the fee within a predetermined time and the intention to pay the fee can be confirmed (see S38 in FIG. 5), a new transaction is permitted by the control unit 70 (see S34 in FIG. 5). ).

  On the other hand, if it is selected that there is no intention of paying the fee within a predetermined time or no operation is performed, a transaction stop signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the transaction stop unit 80 and the operation panel 61. As a result, the transaction stop unit 80 forcibly terminates the transaction by the user (see S39 in FIG. 5), and the operation panel 61 displays that the transaction is terminated to the user.

  5, a warning signal (notification signal) is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the operation panel 61 before the transaction stop signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the transaction stop unit 80 and the operation panel 61. Then, a display notifying that the card with a different name is not used is displayed on the operation panel 61 (for example, “display the card is wrong. Please check the card again”). . By displaying such a display on the operation panel 61, a person who has simply inserted a card by mistake can recognize that the wrong card has been inserted.

  Even if the same person inserts a card with a different name, the transaction may not be immediately terminated and a fee may be collected. In this case, a higher fee than the normal fee may be set.

Fourth Embodiment Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, the human sensor 10 is used as the person monitoring unit. However, in this embodiment, the person monitoring unit includes a face recognition unit 10 ′ that recognizes the user's face. Yes. In addition, the same person is detected within a predetermined period (for example, within one business hour) by the face recognition unit 10 ′, and the transaction of the person by the control unit 70 is based on information from the card processing unit 45. The transaction is forcibly terminated when it is identified that Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. Unlike the human sensor 10, the face recognition unit 10 'is positioned at a position where the user's face can be recognized (see FIG. 1).

  In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the present embodiment will be described. In addition, since there is a part which overlaps with 1st-3rd embodiment, it demonstrates, abbreviate | omitting the overlapping part.

  First, a user stands in front of the money changer 1 (see S41 in FIG. 6). As a result, the face recognition sensor is turned on (see S42a in FIG. 6).

  Next, a user inserts a card from the card insertion slot 41 (see S43 in FIG. 6).

  Next, it is confirmed by the face recognition unit 10 'whether or not the same person is detected as a person who has made a transaction within a predetermined period (for example, indicated as “today” in FIG. 6) (see S44 in FIG. 6). ). At this time, if the same person is not detected within the predetermined period, the use by the user is permitted as it is (see S46 in FIG. 6).

  On the other hand, when the same person is detected within a predetermined period, it is identified whether or not the transaction of the person is by a different user (a card with a different name) by the control unit 70 based on information from the card processing unit 45. (See S45 in FIG. 6).

  As a result, when the transaction of the person is identified by the control unit 70 based on information from the card processing unit 45 as the same user (the name of the card is the same as the previous transaction), Usage by users is permitted. Further, as another aspect, since the same person is used for the second time, guidance and selection for collecting a fee may be performed here.

  On the other hand, if the transaction of the person is identified by the control unit 70 based on information from the card processing unit 45 as being different by a different user (name of the card is different from the previous transaction), the transaction from the control unit 70 A stop signal is transmitted to the transaction stop unit 80 and the operation panel 61. The transaction stop unit 80 forcibly terminates the transaction by the user (see S49 in FIG. 6), and the operation panel 61 ends the transaction with the user. Is displayed, and the card is returned from the card insertion slot 41.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the money changer 1 can be used a plurality of times within a predetermined period (for example, within one business hour) by a user having a large number of cards with different names (cards under the names of family members and employees). Can be prevented from being monopolized. For this reason, it is not a case where cards with different names are used continuously as in the third embodiment, but it is possible to prevent fraud in which money is exchanged free of charge several times a day while being the same person. it can. As a result, it is possible to prevent the money changer 1 from being monopolized a plurality of times.

  In the present embodiment, when use by the user is permitted, the subsequent processing (S46, S42b, S47, S48, and S42c in FIG. 6) is the same processing as in the first embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be similar to the second embodiment or the third embodiment.

  Further, unlike the mode illustrated in FIG. 6, a warning signal (notification signal) is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the operation panel 61 before the transaction stop signal is transmitted from the control unit 70 to the transaction stop unit 80 and the operation panel 61. Then, a display that tells the operation panel 61 not to use a card with a different name may be displayed. By displaying such a display on the operation panel 61, a person who has simply inserted a card by mistake can recognize that the wrong card has been inserted.

  Further, even if the cards are confirmed to be the same person (see S44 in FIG. 6) and the card has a different name (see S45 in FIG. 6), the payment of the fee is requested immediately without ending the transaction. If there is a willingness to pay, you may change it. If the same person is confirmed (see S44 in FIG. 6) and the cards have the same name (see S45 in FIG. 6), a fee is required to be paid because the card is used twice a day. If you have a willingness to pay the fee, you may change it.

Reference Example By the way, as described above, in the money changer 1, it is usually set so that money can be exchanged once a day with no fee. For this reason, even if the operation is wrong, a fee is charged for the second and subsequent operations.

  Since it is harsh for the user to collect a fee in the case of performing an operation in this manner, a plurality of (for example, twice) while the presence of a person is continuously detected by the human sensor 10. ) May be set so that the fee is free.

  Further, when the same person is detected by the face recognition unit 10 ′ within a predetermined period (for example, within one business hour) and the person exchanges money, the control unit 70 may be set so that the fee is free. Good.

  In these cases, the money type that was withdrawn when the money was exchanged first by linking to the ID of the card is stored, and the same money type as the withdrawn money type. After confirming that is entered, the fee may be free. By doing so, it is possible to make the fee free only when the operation is wrong.
