It should be noted that it is preferable to operate in such a manner that the cancellation of the second mode by such key operation or ID authentication can be performed only by a bank administrator. As an example of an emergency situation, for example, there is a case where an instruction to switch to the second mode cannot be transmitted from the collection company control device 280 to the control unit 80 due to a communication function failure.

  Moreover, the operation performed by the person in charge of the collection company in the first mode may be restricted in the same manner as the operation performed by the bank clerk in the second mode as described above. Even in such a case, even if the control unit 80 is in the first mode in preparation for an emergency, a predetermined key operation for emergency is performed with the function key 71 or ID authentication is performed. When the predetermined input is performed, it is preferable that the control unit 80 is switched from the first mode to the second mode also by the person in charge of the collection company.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the money handling apparatus 100 includes a scrutinization process execution time, a scrutinization process execution result (denomination and number or amount), a recovery process execution time, a recovery process execution result (denomination and A storage unit 81 that stores processing information including the execution time of the replenishment process and the execution result of the replenishment process (denomination and number of sheets or amount). The processing information stored in the storage unit 81 is displayed on a display device such as the device display unit 70 provided in the bank or the display unit 111 of the host terminal 110 and a display such as the collection company display device 230 provided in the collection company. The information is transmitted to the apparatus and displayed by the apparatus display unit 70, the display unit 111, the collection company display device 230, and the like. As a result, both the person in charge at the bank and the person in charge at the collection company can confirm the processing information.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the storage unit 81 stores all of the scrutinization process execution time, the scrutinization process execution result, the collection process execution time, the collection process execution result, the replenishment process execution time, and the replenishment process execution result. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the storage unit 81, the execution time of the scrutiny process, the execution result of the scrutiny process, the execution time of the recovery process, the execution result of the recovery process, the execution of the replenishment process Any one or more of the time and the execution result of the replenishment process may be stored.

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

  From the start to the end of the bank window service (see ST13 and ST15 in FIG. 5), the control unit 80 is in the first mode, and the window roster is the money handling apparatus 100. Normal processing such as deposit processing and withdrawal processing can be performed.

  On the other hand, when the bank window service is completed (see ST15 in FIG. 5), a bank clerk carries out a scrutiny process in the money handling apparatus 100, and the amount in the money handling apparatus 100 is determined (ST17 in FIG. 5). reference). When the bank clerk approves the completion of the scrutiny process by the function key 71 after the scrutiny process is completed, the control unit 80 transmits the completion of the scrutiny process to the collection company control device 280. At this time, the control unit 80 is automatically switched from the first mode to the second mode (see ST21 in FIG. 5).

  When the control unit 80 switches to the second mode in this way, operations performed by bankers who are in charge on the bank side are restricted, and the responsible party moves from the bank to the collection company.

  Note that, as a first example in which the operation of the clerk is restricted by the second mode, the control unit 80 does not accept the operation performed by the bank clerk in the second mode. In such a case, a bank employee such as a bank contact person cannot operate the money handling apparatus 100, so that the bank employee can have no opportunity to access the money in the money handling apparatus 100, and security is improved. Can be increased.

  Further, as a second example in which the operation is restricted by the second mode, the control unit 80 also restricts the operation performed by the person in charge of the collection company, and the storage unit 160 among the operations performed by the person in charge of the collection company. 170, only the collection process for collecting the money in the collection cassettes 165 and 175 is accepted (note that the collection preparation process described later is exceptionally accepted). In such a case, not only the person in charge of the bank can not operate the money handling apparatus 100 but also the person in charge of the collection company can only perform the collection process, so that the security can be further improved. . When money is not yet transported to the recovery cassettes 165 and 175, or when the amount of money stored in the recovery cassettes 165 and 175 is less than the amount of money to be recovered, the control unit 80 sets the recovery company. In addition to the collection processing by the person in charge, the control unit 80 accepts the number or amount of each denomination to be left in the money handling apparatus 100 or the number or amount of each denomination to be collected from the money processing apparatus 100. Depending on the received information, the transport units 120 and 130 cause the money to be transported from the denomination storages 161 and 171 to the recovery cassettes 165 and 175 (recovery preparation processing is performed).

  Further, as the third example, the operations performed by the person in charge of the collection company are limited as in the case of the second example, and only the collection process and the scrutiny process by the person in charge of the collection company are accepted (note that the collection is performed) The preparation process is accepted exceptionally.) In such a case, since the person in charge of the collection company can perform the scrutiny again, the number of money types to be collected can be made more reliable. Since only scrutiny processing can be performed, high security can be realized. Even in this case, as in the second example, when money is not yet transported to the recovery cassettes 165 and 175, or when the amount of money stored in the recovery cassettes 165 and 175 is less than the amount of money to be recovered. In addition to the collection process and the scrutiny process by the person in charge of the collection company, the control unit 80 adds the number or amount of money of each denomination to be left in the money processing apparatus 100 or the money to be collected from the money processing apparatus 100. Upon receipt of the number or amount of money for each seed, the control unit 80 causes the conveyance units 120 and 130 to convey money from the denomination storages 161 and 171 to the collection cassettes 165 and 175 according to the received information (collection preparation process). Is done).

  As described above, when the control unit 80 enters the second mode, this is displayed on the device display unit 70 or the display unit 111 of the upper terminal 110. For this reason, the bank employee can easily recognize that the control unit 80 is in the second mode and the operation of the employee is restricted. Although not shown, a lamp (display unit) indicating that the control unit 80 has entered the second mode and a lamp (display unit) indicating that the first mode has been entered are provided separately from the device display unit 70. You may be notified that it entered into the 2nd mode by the lamp concerned lighting.

  Further, when the control unit 80 transmits the completion of the scrutiny process to the collection company control device 280 via the transmission unit 85 and the collection company receiver 220, the time of the scrutiny process, the number of denominations or The result of the scrutiny process consisting of the amount of money, information on money to be replenished or collected, etc. are also transmitted. Therefore, the person in charge of the collection company can grasp the time when the replenishment or collection process is performed, the content of the replenishment or collection process to be performed, and the like based on these pieces of information.

  At this time, the control unit 80 may also send information regarding the denomination and number or amount of money to be left in the machine to the collection company control device 280. In this way, if information on the denomination and number or amount of money to be left on the plane is also transmitted, it is determined whether or not there is too much money that the collection company staff should have left on the plane. Judgment can be made. If the person in charge of the recovery company determines that there is too much money, the bank employee is notified of this, and the amount of money to be left in the plane between the recovery company and the bank is discussed and adjusted. Is also possible.

  As described above, when the control unit 80 transmits the completion of the scrutiny process to the collection company receiver 220, the information is sent to the collection company control unit 280, and the scrutiny process is completed on the collection company display unit 230. Is displayed.

  Then, the person in charge of the collection company that has received an instruction based on the displayed information from the person in charge of instruction of the collection company (for example, performing collection processing in another nearby bank) is the target money handling apparatus 100. In order to perform replenishment or collection processing of the money inside, it goes to the bank where the money handling apparatus 100 is installed. At this time, the collection company control device 280 transmits to the control unit 80 the estimated arrival time that the person in charge of the collection company arrives, and the control unit 80 schedules the arrival to the device display unit 70, the display unit 111 of the upper terminal 110, and the like.
