Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet processing method, and is preferably applied to a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet processing method for efficiently loading and examining paper sheets. is there.

  Generally, in an automatic transaction machine such as an automatic deposit machine (ATM) or an automatic change machine installed in a financial institution, a paper sheet such as a cash voucher is attached to a paper sheet processing apparatus provided in advance in the automatic transaction apparatus. The paper sheet is loaded, and the paper sheet remaining in the paper sheet processing apparatus after a certain period of time is counted, and the remaining amount of the paper sheet is scrutinized. Here, the loading of paper sheets means that a cassette in which paper sheets are hand-packed in advance by an attendant or the like is installed in the paper sheet processing apparatus before the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus, and the identification of the paper sheets is performed. In addition, after the counting is performed, each paper sheet is stored in an appropriate cassette. Further, the close examination of the remaining amount of paper sheets means that when the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus is terminated, the paper sheets stored for each paper sheet of the paper sheet processing apparatus are identified, and each paper sheet is The remaining amount is counted.

  Conventionally, when carrying out a close examination of the paper sheets remaining in the paper sheet processing apparatus, each of the paper sheets in a plurality of types of cassettes of the paper sheets mounted in the paper sheet processing apparatus, All the paper was fed out of the cassette, and the paper sheets were identified, counted, and carefully examined for the remaining amount. In this way, since it is necessary to feed out all the paper sheets from each cassette when performing the scrutiny processing, if the amount of paper sheets that can be stored in the feeding destination cassette is less than the remaining amount of paper sheets, There has been a problem that the paper sheet must be scrutinized many times and the scrutiny process is interrupted.

  Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for determining whether or not the scrutinization process can be performed according to the amount of paper sheets that can be stored in a cassette to which paper sheets are fed. Specifically, when the paper sheet storage capacity of the feeding destination cassette is greater than or equal to the remaining amount of the cassette of each paper sheet, it is determined that the scrutiny process can be executed. On the other hand, when the paper sheet storage capacity of the feeding destination cassette is smaller than the remaining amount of the cassette of each paper sheet, it is determined that the scrutiny process cannot be executed.

  Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for completing a scrutiny process without interrupting a scrutiny process when a feeding destination cassette becomes full during the scrutiny process. Specifically, a temporary storage unit for temporarily storing paper sheets is provided above the storage space for cassettes for each paper sheet and cassettes for scrutiny, and the scrutiny cassette becomes full when paper sheets are scrutinized. In such a case, the inspection process is completed without interrupting the inspection process by changing the transport destination of the sheet to a temporary holding unit other than the sheet to be inspected.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-16030 JP 2009-151354 A

  However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, there is a problem in that the efficiency is poor because the examination processing is not performed when the paper sheet storage capacity is smaller than the remaining amount of the cassette of each paper sheet. Further, in Patent Document 2, by providing a temporary holding section, it is possible to continue the scrutiny process even when the storage cassette becomes full during the scrutiny process. There is a problem in that the capacity of the sheet processing apparatus must be increased, and a temporary storage section must be provided at the top of each cassette.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and is a paper sheet processing capable of efficiently performing a paper sheet loading process and a scrutiny process without modifying the structure of the paper sheet processing apparatus. An apparatus and a paper sheet processing method are proposed.

  In order to solve such a problem, in the present invention, a paper sheet processing apparatus that handles a plurality of types of paper sheets, stores the paper sheets for each type, and executes feeding and receiving of the paper sheets. A plurality of types of storage units, a plurality of types of paper sheets stored therein, at least one mixed storage unit that executes feeding and receiving of the paper sheets, and before the operation of the paper sheet processing apparatus, The paper sheets stored in the type storage unit or the mixed storage unit are identified and counted, and the identified and counted paper sheets are stored in the type storage unit for each type of the paper sheets. After the loading process and the operation of the paper sheet processing apparatus, the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit are counted for each type, and the counted paper sheets are stored in the type storage unit or the mixed storage unit. A control unit that controls the scrutiny process stored in any of the Sheet processing apparatus according to claim Rukoto is provided.

  According to this configuration, in the loading process, the counting source of the paper sheet is determined depending on whether the paper sheet is stored in the type storage unit or the mixing storage unit, and the paper sheet of the storage unit of the determined counting source Are identified and counted for each type, and stored in a type storage unit corresponding to the type of paper sheet. Further, in the scrutiny processing, the storage destination is determined according to the remaining amount of the paper sheets, and the identified and counted paper sheets are stored in the storage section of the determined storage destination. Thereby, at the start of the loading process, it is possible to automatically determine whether the paper sheet is stored in the type storage unit or the mixing storage unit. In other words, when the number of paper sheets to be loaded is less than or equal to the paper storage capacity of the mixing storage unit, the paper can be loaded into the mixing storage unit and loaded, so that one cassette can be loaded at a time. If paper sheets can be loaded and there are more paper sheets to be loaded than the mixed storage unit can store, the clerk can be placed halfway by filling the type storage unit with paper sheets and performing the loading process. Thus, paper sheets can be loaded in a single loading process without any intervening, and the number of cassettes to be prepared can be minimized depending on the amount of paper sheets to be loaded. Also, during scrutiny processing, avoiding interruption of scrutiny processing, such as a staff member taking out the paper sheets stored in the mixing storage part during the scrutiny processing, and storing paper sheets according to the remaining amount of paper sheets during scrutiny This makes it possible to collect paper sheets efficiently by minimizing the number of cassettes.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently execute a paper sheet loading process and a scrutiny process without modifying the structure of the paper sheet processing apparatus.

(1-3) Operation of Automatic Transaction Device Here, the operation of the paper sheet processing device 11 from the start to the end of operation of the automatic transaction device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

(1-3-1) Overview of Loading Process First, a paper sheet loading process before the automatic transaction apparatus 1 starts operation will be described. At the start of operation of the automatic transaction apparatus 1, a staff member loads a paper sheet into the paper sheet processing apparatus 11. Specifically, the clerk sets the type storage units C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 with the paper sheets for dispensing paper sheets hand-packed in advance, and the clerk operation unit 9 And press the button to start loading. When a loading start instruction button is pressed by an attendant, a loading start instruction is notified from the main control unit 30 to the control unit 31 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11, and the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 starts the loading process. As described above, the loading process is performed by installing a cassette in which paper sheets are hand-packed in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 before the operation in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is started, and identifying and counting the paper sheets. Is performed, it means that each paper sheet is stored in an appropriate cassette.

  In the paper sheet processing apparatus 11, when the loading process is started, the paper sheets are fed out from the type storage units C <b> 1 to C <b> 3 or the mixed storage unit C <b> 4, and the paper sheets are identified by the identification unit 32 through the conveyance path L. Is done. For example, when the loaded paper sheets are hand-packed in the type storage units C1 to C3, the paper sheets stored in C1 to C3 are temporarily stored in the mixing storage unit C4. Then, the paper sheets of the mixed storage unit C4 are identified by the identification unit 32, and are stored in one of the type storage units C1 to C3 corresponding to the identified type. Note that the paper sheets that are determined to be not normal as a result of being identified by the identifying unit 32 are stored as defective paper sheets in the defective paper sheet storage unit C5. As described above, when all the paper sheets hand-packed in the type storage units C1 to C3 or the mixing storage unit C4 are fed out and the loading process is completed, the loading result is controlled by the control unit 31 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 from the main control unit 31. The unit 30 is notified. Then, the loading result notified to the main control unit 30 is displayed on the clerk operation unit 9, and the clerk presses a button for instructing the operation start on the clerk operation unit 9, so that the automatic transaction apparatus 1 starts operating. Is done.

(1-3-2) Overview of Currency Exchange Transaction Processing Next, the paper currency exchange transaction processing will be described. When the exchange transaction process is started and the exchange money is inserted into the paper sheet deposit / withdrawal port 2 by the user, the main control unit 30 transmits a deposit command to the paper sheet processing apparatus 11. Then, the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 stores the paper sheets put into the paper sheet deposit / withdrawal port 2 and conveys them to the identification unit 32 to identify the authenticity, denomination, and number of sheets of the paper sheets. Thereafter, the paper sheets are guided to the temporary storage unit 33 and temporarily held. At this time, if the identification unit 32 determines that the paper sheet is poorly identified, or if the temporary storage unit is full and cannot accept the paper sheet, the paper sheet is put in and out of the paper sheet. Return it to the mouth 2

  If the main control unit 30 determines that there is a sheet to be returned to the user based on the processing result for the deposit instruction from the sheet processing apparatus 11, the main control unit 30 uses the sheet deposit / withdrawal port 2 to Return the paper to If it is determined that there is no paper sheet to be returned, the exchange setting screen is displayed on the customer operation unit 8 to accept the exchange contents requested by the user.

  When the contents of the exchange are designated by the customer via the customer operation unit 8, the main control unit 30 notifies the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 of a change money withdrawal command. The paper sheet processing apparatus 11 performs, for each type, from the type storage units C1 to C3 that store the denominations according to the denominations and the number of sheets designated by the customer according to the withdrawal command from the main control unit 30. The paper sheets are fed out one by one, identified by the identification unit 32, and then discharged to the paper sheet deposit / withdrawal port 2. At this time, the paper sheet determined to be unsuccessful by the identification unit 32 is stored in the defective paper sheet storage unit C5. Then, when the operation for the withdrawal command is completed, the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 returns the processing result for the withdrawal command to the main control unit 30.

  If the main control unit 30 determines that the type and number of paper sheets to be delivered to the user can be normally released based on the processing result in response to the withdrawal instruction from the paper sheet processing apparatus 11, the paper sheet In order to deliver the money exchanged to the deposit / withdrawal port 2 to the user, the opening / closing port of the paper sheet deposit / withdrawal port 2 is opened.

  Note that the received paper sheets temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 33 at the time of the payment processing are sent out from the main control unit 30 to the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 at the optimal storage timing in operation. The sheets are stored in the sheet storage group 35. In this case, the paper sheets which are exchange money inserted by the user are stored in the deposit paper sheet storage section C6 or stored in the type storage sections C1 to C3 and stored again for the withdrawal. You may do it. With the above processing, the paper sheet exchange processing is completed.

(1-3-3) Outline of the close examination process Next, the paper sheet close examination process when the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is terminated will be described. When the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is terminated, the clerk presses the scrutinization start instruction button on the clerk operation unit 9, and the scrutinization start instruction is notified from the main control unit 30 to the control unit 31 of the sheet processing apparatus 11. The scrutiny process begins. Here, as described above, the scrutiny processing is a paper sheet in which a paper sheet stored for each paper sheet of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 is identified when the operation of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 is terminated. The remaining amount is counted for each class.

  When the scrutinization process is started in the paper sheet processing apparatus 11, the scrutiny process is executed for each type of paper sheet. In the scrutinization processing, for example, paper sheets are fed out from the type storage unit C1, and the paper sheets are identified by the identification unit 32 through the conveyance path L. As a result of identification by the identification unit 32, when it is determined that the sheet is normal, the sheet is stored in the mixing storage unit C4 through the conveyance path L. On the other hand, if it is determined by the identification unit 32 that the paper sheet is abnormal, it is stored in the defective paper sheet storage unit C5 through the transport path L. When the feeding from the type storage unit C1 is completed, the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C2 are scrutinized similarly to the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C1. In this way, when the scrutiny processing is completed, the scrutiny result is notified from the control unit 31 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 to the main control unit 30, and the scrutiny result is displayed on the staff operation unit 9. The automatic transaction apparatus 1 manages the amount of cash held in the automatic transaction apparatus 1 by the main control unit 30 from the loading result, the deposit result, and the withdrawal result. Therefore, the paper sheet is determined from the amount of cash held by the main control unit 30, the result of the scrutiny notified from the paper sheet processing apparatus 11, and the paper sheets stored in the defective paper sheet storage unit C5. You can check deposits and withdrawals. That is, when it is confirmed by the staff that the total of the total number of paper sheets determined from the result of the scrutiny and the total number of paper sheets in the defective paper sheet storage unit C5 matches the total number of cash holdings In addition, the scrutiny process has been completed successfully.

(1-3-1) Details of Loading Process Next, details of the loading process according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5A, first, the control unit 31 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as the control unit 31) is either the type storage unit C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4. (S101). For example, the thickness of the banknote in the type storage units C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 is detected by a thickness sensor or the like to recognize that the banknote is set in the cassette. In addition, the clerk manually packs the paper sheets in either of the type storage units C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4, and the hand-packing completion button of the clerk operation unit 9 is pressed. When the hand-packing completion button is pressed, the control unit 31 may recognize that the paper sheet has been set.

  Next, the control unit 31 determines whether the storage unit filled with paper sheets is the type storage unit C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 (S102).

In step S102, when it is determined that the storage units filled with paper sheets are the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 sets the counting sources to the type storage units C1 to C3 (S103). . On the other hand, in step S102, when the housing part sheet is filled is determined to be a mixture containing portion C 4, the control unit 31 sets the count source and mixing housing portion C4 (S104).

  Then, it instructs the various storage units to feed out the paper sheets from the counting source set in step S103 or step S104 (S105). Further, the identification unit 32 and various storage units are instructed to identify and count the paper sheets fed out in step S105 (S106).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether the storage unit of the counting source is the type storage unit C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 (S107).

  If it is determined in step S107 that the counting source storage units are the type storage units C1 to C3, each storage unit is instructed to temporarily store the paper sheets fed out in step S105 in the mixing storage unit C4. (S108).

  Subsequently, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the type storage unit that is feeding paper sheets is empty (S109). For example, when the type storage unit includes an empty detection sensor that detects whether the type storage unit is empty, the control unit 31 determines whether the type storage unit is in accordance with the detection result notified from the empty detection sensor. Determine if is empty. If it is determined in step S109 that the type storage unit that is feeding paper sheets is empty, the control unit 31 executes the processing from step S110. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S109 that the type storage unit that is feeding paper sheets is not empty, the control unit 31 performs the processing from step S105 to step S108 until the corresponding type storage unit is empty. repeat.

  Then, the control unit 31 instructs the mixing storage unit C4 to load the paper sheets stored in the mixing storage unit C4 into the storage unit of the corresponding denomination (S110). Then, the control unit 31 determines whether all the paper sheets of the counting source have been processed (S111), and if it is determined that the paper sheets remain in the counting source, the control unit 31 performs a step for the unprocessed denomination. The counting source storage unit is instructed to execute the processing from S105 onward (S112). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S111 that no paper sheet remains in the counting source, the control unit 31 ends the paper sheet loading process.

  In the paper sheet loading process, when the counting source is the type storage unit C1 to C3, the paper is once stored in the mixing storage unit C4. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. It may be stored once in the mouthpiece 2 and then stored in the type storage section of the corresponding denomination.

(1-3-2) Details of Scrutiny Processing Next, details of the scrutiny processing according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 6A, first, the control unit 31 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 determines whether or not the mixing storage unit C4 is empty (S201). For example, in the case where an empty detection sensor that detects whether the mixing storage portion is empty is provided in the mixing storage portion, the control unit 31 determines whether the mixing storage portion is in accordance with the detection result notified from the empty detection sensor. Determine if is empty. If it is determined in step S201 that the mixing storage unit C4 is not empty, the control unit 31 guides the staff that the mixing storage unit C4 needs to be empty (S202). Repeat the process. In step S202, the control unit 31 may cause the clerk operation unit 9 to perform guidance display or may provide guidance by voice output. For example, such as during loading of the sheet is not correctly loaded in the type storage unit C1～C 3, a portion of the paper sheet to the mixing housing portion C4 is in some cases remained. If paper sheets remain in the mixing and storing unit C4 during the scrutinizing process, it becomes impossible to perform the scrutinizing process correctly. Therefore, it is necessary to inform the staff that it is necessary to empty the mixing and storing unit C4 in step S202. The paper sheet remaining in the mixing and storing unit C4 is removed by the staff member.

  If it is determined in step S201 that the mixed storage unit C4 is empty, the control unit 31 determines whether the amount that can be stored in the mixed storage unit C4 is less than the remaining amount of bills in the type storage units C1 to C3. Determination is made (S203). In step S203, when it is determined that the amount that can be stored in the mixed storage unit C4 is less than the remaining amount of banknotes in the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 sets the storage destination of the paper sheets to the type storage units C1 to C1. Set to C3 (S204). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S203 that the storage capacity of the mixed storage unit C4 is greater than or equal to the remaining amount of the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 mixes the storage destination of the paper sheets. The storage unit C4 is set (S205).

  Here, the remaining amount of paper and the amount that can be stored will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the sheet storage capacity of the type storage units C1 to C3 and the mixed storage unit C4 is 3400 sheets. When paper sheets are carefully examined, if the number of paper sheets is 3200 sheets stored in the type storage section C1, 2500 sheets stored in the type storage section C2, and 2500 sheets stored in the type storage section C3, the type storage section C1. The total number of C3 to 8200 is larger than the 3400 storage capacity of C4. In this case, since all the paper sheets cannot be stored in the mixed storage unit C4, the storage destinations are set to the type storage units C1 to C3.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 8, when paper sheets are examined, 1000 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C1, 500 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C2, and 500 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C3. In this case, the total number 2000 of the type storage units C1 to C3 is less than the 3400 storage capacity of C4. In this case, since all paper sheets can be stored in the mixed storage unit C4, the storage destination is set in the mixed storage unit C4.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the storage unit for collecting paper sheets is switched according to the remaining amount of paper sheets. As a result, when the remaining amount of paper sheets is larger than the amount that can be stored in the mixing and storing unit C4, the scrutiny process is interrupted, such as a staff member taking out the paper sheets stored in the mixing and storing unit C4 during the scrutiny process. It is avoiding that. In addition, when the remaining amount of paper sheets is less than the amount that can be stored in the mixed storage section C4, the clerk needs to take out the paper sheets from only one storage section after the scrutiny process. Collection is possible.

  Returning to FIG. 6A, the control unit 31 instructs the type storage units C1 to C3 to feed out the paper sheets from the type storage unit (S206). Identification and counting are instructed (S207).

  Then, the control unit 31 determines whether the storage destination of the paper sheet set in step S204 or S205 is the type storage unit C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 (S208). If it is determined in step S208 that the paper storage destination is the type storage unit C1 to C3, the control unit 31 once mixes the paper sheet fed out from any of the type storage units C1 to C3. Each storage unit is instructed to store in the storage unit C4 (S209), and it is determined whether or not the type storage unit for feeding paper sheets is empty (S210). In step S210, when it is determined that the type storage unit that is feeding out the paper sheets is empty, the control unit 31 executes the processing from step S211 onward. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S210 that the type storage unit that is feeding out the paper sheets is not empty, the control unit 31 repeats the processes in steps S206 to S210.

  Subsequently, the control unit 31 instructs each storage unit to store the paper sheet in the storage unit that is the storage destination of the paper sheet (S211). For example, if the storage destination is one of the type storage units C1 to C3, the storage unit that is the storage destination of the paper sheets is stored in one of the type storage units C1 to C3 corresponding to the type of the paper sheet. To do. If the storage destination is the mixed storage unit C4, the paper sheets are stored in the mixed storage unit C4.

  And the control part 31 determines whether all the paper sheets accommodated in the classification | category storage part C1-C3 which is a scrutinization object were processed (S212). If it is determined in step S212 that all the paper sheets have been processed, the control unit 31 instructs the customer operation unit 8 or the like to guide the storage destination of the paper sheets (S213). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S212 that all of the paper sheets have not been processed, the control unit 31 repeats the processes in and after step S206.

  Here, the guidance of the storage destination of the paper sheet displayed on the customer operation unit 8 in step S213 will be described. In the above description, the storage location of the paper sheet is displayed on the customer operation unit 8, but the storage location of the paper sheet may be guided by voice output.

  As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the paper sheet is a banknote, the type storage unit C1 is a cassette (thousand-yen storage cassette) that stores 1,000 yen, and the type storage unit C2 is a cassette that stores 5,000 yen. (5,000 yen storage cassette), there is a cassette (10,000 yen storage cassette) in which the type storage section C3 stores 10,000 yen, the mixed storage section C4 is an operation cassette, and the deposit paper sheet storage section C6 is a deposit storage cassette Suppose that

  In step S204, if the paper storage destination is set in the type storage units C1 to C3, the paper sheets are finally stored in the type storage units C1 to C3, that is, a thousand yen storage cassette and five thousand yen storage. 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen are collected in the cassette and 10,000 yen storage cassette, respectively. In this case, the display unit of the customer operation unit 8 shown in FIG. 9 displays the position of the thousand yen cassette, the five thousand yen cassette, and the ten thousand yen cassette in which the banknotes are stored so that the staff can intuitively grasp the position. , Storage cassette (1,000 yen cassette, 5,000 yen cassette, 10,000 yen cassette) and breakdown of banknotes stored in the storage cassette (1,000 yen for 1,000 yen cassette, 5,000 yen for 5,000 yen cassette, 10,000 yen for 10,000 yen cassette Circle).

  In step S205, if the storage location of the paper sheet is set in the mixing storage unit C4, the paper sheet is finally stored in the mixing storage unit C4, that is, in the operation cassette. All of the circle is collected. In this case, the display unit of the customer operation unit 8 shown in FIG. 10 displays the position of the operation cassette in which the banknotes are stored so that the clerk can intuitively grasp the position, and is further stored in the operation cassette and the operation cassette. The breakdown of banknotes (1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 10,000 yen on the operation cassette) is displayed.

  In this way, by clearly indicating the collection cassette that is the collection destination among the plurality of storage cassettes, it becomes possible for the staff to collect the paper sheets that have been scrutinized efficiently.

  In the above embodiment, the remaining amount information of the paper sheet is the number of paper sheets. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the remaining amount information of the paper sheet may be the thickness information of the paper sheet. For example, a sensor for detecting the thickness is provided in each type of storage unit, and the control unit 31 is notified of the result detected by the sensor. The control unit 31 calculates the remaining amount information held by each type of storage unit from the thickness information notified from each storage unit, and grasps the remaining number of paper sheets. Further, the paper sheet remaining in the deposited paper sheet storage unit C6 may be subjected to a close examination process in the same manner as the type storage units C1 to C3.

(1-4) Effects of the present embodiment As described above, in the present embodiment, in the loading process, the paper is stored depending on which of the type storage units C1 to C3 and the mixed storage unit C4 is stored. The counting source of the leaves is determined, the paper sheets of the storage unit of the determined counting source are identified and counted for each type, and stored in the type storage unit corresponding to the type of the paper sheet. Further, in the scrutiny processing, the storage destination is determined according to the remaining amount of the paper sheets, and the identified and counted paper sheets are stored in the storage section of the determined storage destination. Thereby, at the start of the loading process, it is possible to automatically determine whether the paper sheet is stored in the type storage unit or the mixing storage unit. Further, during the scrutinization process, when the remaining amount of paper sheets is larger than the amount that can be stored in the mixing storage section C4, a scrutiny process such as a staff member taking out the paper sheets stored in the mixing storage section during the scrutiny processing When the interruption is avoided and the remaining amount of paper is less than the amount that can be stored in the mixed storage unit C4, the clerk needs to take out the paper from only one storage unit after the scrutiny process. It makes it possible to collect leaves.

(2) Second embodiment (2-1) Appearance configuration and hardware configuration of automatic transaction apparatus The appearance configuration and hardware configuration of the automatic transaction apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. Since it is almost the same, detailed description is omitted. In the following, a configuration different from that of the first embodiment will be described in detail. In this embodiment, when paper sheets are collected in the type storage units C1 to C3 during the scrutiny processing, the configuration is different from that in the first embodiment in that the number of type storage units at the collection destination is minimized. It has become.

(2-2) Operation of Automatic Transaction Device Since the loading process is the same as that of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted. In the following, among the scrutiny processing, processing different from that of the first embodiment will be described in detail, and detailed description of processing similar to that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

(2-2-1) Details of Scrutiny Processing As shown in FIG. 11A, first, the control unit 31 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 11 determines whether the mixing storage unit C4 is empty (S301). If it is determined in step S301 that the mixing storage unit C4 is not empty, the control unit 31 guides the staff that the mixing storage unit C4 needs to be empty (S302). Repeat the process.

  If it is determined in step S301 that the mixed storage unit C4 is empty, the control unit 31 determines whether the amount that can be stored in the mixed storage unit C4 is less than the remaining amount of bills in the type storage units C1 to C3. Determination is made (S303). In step S303, when it is determined that the amount that can be stored in the mixed storage unit C4 is less than the remaining amount of banknotes in the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 sets the storage destination of the paper sheets to the type storage units C1 to C1. Set to C3 (S304). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S303 that the storage capacity of the mixed storage unit C4 is greater than or equal to the remaining amount of the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 mixes the storage destination of the paper sheets. The storage unit C4 is set (S307).

  In step S304, when the storage location of the paper sheets is set to the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 determines that the number of type storage units required for storing the paper sheets is the minimum. The number of storage units to be calculated is calculated (S305). Specifically, the control unit 31 calculates the number of storage units using the following mathematical formula.

  (C1 remaining amount + C2 remaining amount + C3 remaining amount) / 3400 (Expression 1)

  For example, if the result calculated by Equation 1 is 0.7, the number of cassettes required for storage is 1, and if the divided number is 1.5, the number of cassettes required for storage is 2. Then, the type storage units corresponding to the number calculated in step S305 are set as storage destinations (S306).

  Here, with reference to FIG. 12, the calculation result of the number of type storage units in step S305 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the sheet storage capacity of the type storage units C1 to C3 and the mixed storage unit C4 is 3400 sheets. Further, it is assumed that 2500 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C1, 2000 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C2, and 1000 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C3 when the paper sheets are closely examined. In this case, it can be seen from the following formula that the number of cassettes required for storage is two.

  (2500 + 2000 + 1000) /3400=1.6 (Expression 2)

  As shown in FIG. 12, the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C1 are once stored in the mixing storage unit C4 and then stored in the type storage unit C1. In addition, the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C2 are once stored in the mixing storage unit C4, and then 900 of the 2000 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C1, and 1100 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C2. Stored. At this time, the type storage unit C1 stores 3400 sheets, which is a total of 2500 sheets of C1 paper sheets and 900 sheets of C2 paper sheets. The paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C3 are once stored in the mixing storage unit C4 and then stored in the type storage unit C2.

  In the example of FIG. 12, the paper sheets of the type storage unit C2 are stored divided into a type storage unit C1 and a type storage unit C2. Therefore, as shown in the example of FIG. 13, the storage unit of the storage destination may be set so that the paper sheets of the various storage units are not divided. For example, as in the example of FIG. 12, when paper sheets are scrutinized, 2500 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C1, 2000 sheets in the type storage unit C2, and 1000 sheets in the type storage unit C3. To do. In this case, the number of cassettes required for storage is two according to Equation 2 described above. The type storage unit C1 stores 2500 sheets of paper stored in the type storage unit C1 and the type storage unit C2 includes a type storage unit so that the paper sheets of each type are not stored separately. 3000 sheets (2000 sheets +1000 sheets) of sheets stored in C2 and C3 are stored.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the storage unit is set so that all paper sheets can be stored in the storage unit in the scrutiny process, and the scrutinization process is prevented from being interrupted. Furthermore, according to the remaining amount of paper sheets, the number of cassettes for storing paper sheets is minimized so that a staff member can efficiently collect paper sheets after the close-up processing.

  Returning to FIG. 6B, the control unit 31 instructs the type storage units C1 to C3 to feed out the paper sheets from the type storage unit (S308). Identification and counting are instructed (S309).

  Then, the control unit 31 determines whether the paper sheet storage destination set in step S304 or S307 is any of the type storage units C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 (S310). In step S310, when it is determined that the storage destination of the paper sheet is any of the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 feeds out the paper sheet from any of the type storage units C1 to C3. Is temporarily instructed to be stored in the mixing storage section C4 (S311), and it is determined whether or not the type storage section for feeding paper sheets is empty (S312). If it is determined in step S312 that the type storage unit that is feeding out the sheets has become empty, the control unit 31 performs the processing from step S313. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S312 that the type storage unit that is feeding out the paper sheets is not empty, the control unit 31 repeats the processing in steps S308 to S312.

  Subsequently, the control unit 31 instructs each storage unit to store the paper sheet in the storage unit that is the storage destination of the paper sheet (S313). The storage unit that is the storage destination of the paper sheets is the storage unit set in step S306. If the storage destination is the mixed storage unit C4, the paper sheets are stored in the mixed storage unit C4.

  And the control part 31 determines whether all the paper sheets accommodated in the classification | category storage part C1-C3 which is a close examination object were processed (S314). If it is determined in step S314 that all of the paper sheets have been processed, the control unit 31 instructs the customer operation unit 8 or the like to guide the storage destination of the paper sheets (S315). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S314 that all of the paper sheets have not been processed, the control unit 31 repeats the processes in and after step S308.

  Here, the guidance of the storage destination of the paper sheet displayed on the customer operation unit 8 in step S315 will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, for example, the paper sheet is a banknote, the type storage unit C1 is a cassette (thousand-yen storage cassette) that stores 1,000 yen, and the type storage unit C2 is a cassette that stores 5,000 yen. (5,000 yen storage cassette), there is a cassette (10,000 yen storage cassette) in which the type storage section C3 stores 10,000 yen, the mixed storage section C4 is an operation cassette, and the deposit paper sheet storage section C6 is a deposit storage cassette Suppose that

  In step S304, when the paper storage destination is set to the type storage units C1 to C3, and the storage unit of the paper storage destination is set to the type storage units C1 and C2, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, and 10,000 yen are collected in the 5,000 yen storage cassette. In this case, the display unit of the customer operation unit 8 shown in FIG. 14 displays the position of the thousand-yen cassette and the five-thousand-yen cassette in which banknotes are stored so that the clerk can intuitively grasp the storage cassette ( (1,000 yen cassette and 5,000 yen cassette) and the breakdown of banknotes stored in the storage cassette (1,000 yen for the 1000 yen cassette, 5,000 yen for the 5,000 yen cassette, and 10,000 yen).

  In this way, by clearly indicating the collection cassette that is the collection destination among the plurality of storage cassettes, it becomes possible for the staff to collect the paper sheets that have been scrutinized efficiently.

(2-3) Effects of this Embodiment As described above, in this embodiment, the storage unit is set so that all paper sheets can be stored in the storage unit in the scrutiny process, and the scrutiny process Has been avoided. Furthermore, according to the remaining amount of paper sheets, the number of cassettes for storing paper sheets is minimized so that a staff member can efficiently collect paper sheets after the close-up processing.

(3) Third Embodiment (3-1) Appearance Configuration and Hardware Configuration of Automatic Transaction Device The appearance configuration and hardware configuration of the automatic transaction device 1 according to this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. Since it is almost the same, detailed description is omitted. In the following, a configuration different from that of the first embodiment will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, when paper sheets are collected in the type storage units C1 to C3 during the scrutiny processing, the scrutiny time is shortened by reducing the number of conveyances for the type of paper sheets having a large number of sheets. Thus, the configuration is different from that of the first embodiment.

(3-2) Operation of Automatic Transaction Device Since the loading process is the same as that of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted. In the following, among the scrutiny processing, processing different from the first embodiment will be described in detail, and detailed description of processing similar to that of the first embodiment will be omitted.

(3-2-1) Details of Scrutiny Process As shown in FIG. 15A, the processes in steps S401 to S405 are the same as the processes in steps S201 to S205 shown in FIG. 6A of the first embodiment. Detailed description is omitted.

  After the paper sheet storage destination is set in step S404 or step S405, the control unit 31 determines whether the paper sheet storage destination storage unit is the type storage unit C1 to C3 or the mixed storage unit C4 (S406). ). When it is determined in step S406 that the paper sheets are stored in the type storage units C1 to C3, the control unit 31 sets the storage order in the type storage units C1 to C3 (S407). Specifically, the control unit 31 determines the storage order of the type storage units C1 to C3 to be stored based on the remaining amount information of the paper sheets of the various storage units C1 to C3. For example, the type storage unit having the largest number of remaining paper sheets in the type storage unit is stored last.

  Then, after executing the type storage unit feeding process (S409), the control unit 31 determines whether all the sheets have been processed (S410). The type storage unit feeding process in step S409 will be described in detail later. If it is determined in step S410 that all the sheets have been processed, the control unit 31 instructs the customer operation unit 8 or the like to guide the storage destination of the sheets (S411). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S410 that all of the paper sheets have not been processed, the control unit 31 repeats the processes in and after step S406.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S406 that the paper sheet is stored in the mixing storage unit C4, the control unit 31 identifies and counts the paper sheets in the mixing storage unit C4, and then the mixing storage unit. An instruction to store in C4 is given (S408), and the processing after step S410 is executed.

  Next, the type storage unit feeding process executed in step S409 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8B, the control unit 31 instructs paper sheet feeding from the type storage unit (S412). Then, the control unit 31 instructs the identification and counting of the paper sheets fed out from the type storage unit in step S412 (S413).

  Subsequently, based on the storage order set in step S407, it is determined whether the storage order is the last storage part among the type storage parts C1 to C3 (S414). If it is determined in step S414 that the storage order is not the last type storage unit, each storage is performed so that the paper sheets fed out from any of the type storage units C1 to C3 are temporarily stored in the mixing storage unit C4. (S415), it is determined whether or not the type storage unit that is feeding out paper sheets is empty (S417). If it is determined in step S417 that the type storage unit that is feeding out the paper sheet is empty, the control unit 31 instructs storage in the type storage unit of the storage destination (S418). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S417 that the type storage unit that is feeding out the sheets is not empty, the control unit 31 performs the processing in steps S415 and S417 until the type storage unit is empty. repeat.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S414 that the storage order is the last type storage unit, an instruction is given to store the paper fed out from the type storage unit directly into the mixing storage unit C4 (S416).

  Next, a paper sheet storage result in the type storage unit according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, it is assumed that the sheet storage capacity of the type storage units C1 to C3 and the mixed storage unit C4 is 3400 sheets. Further, it is assumed that 3000 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C1, 500 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C2, and 500 sheets are stored in the type storage unit C3 when the paper sheets are closely examined. In this case, the storage order of the type storage units C1 to C3 is stored last in the type storage unit having the largest remaining number of paper sheets, so the paper sheets in the type storage unit C1 are stored last. .

  For example, the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C2 are once stored in the mixing storage unit C4 and then stored in the type storage unit C2. The paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C3 are once stored in the mixing storage unit C4 and then stored in the type storage unit C3. The paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C1 are finally stored in the mixing storage unit C4.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the paper sheets of the type storage unit C1 having the largest remaining number of paper sheets are finally stored in the mixing storage unit C4, thereby reducing the number of times of conveyance and efficiently examining. It is possible to execute processing. Here, paper sheets other than the type storage unit with the largest remaining number of paper sheets may be stored together in any type storage unit. For example, the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C2 are once stored in the mixing storage unit C4, then stored in the type storage unit C2, and then the paper sheets stored in the type storage unit C3 are stored. Once stored in the mixing storage unit C4, it may be stored in the type storage unit C2. This makes it possible to reduce the number of conveyances and shorten the examination time, and to minimize the number of cassettes to be stored.

  Next, the sheet storage destination guidance displayed on the customer operation unit 8 in step S411 will be described. As shown in FIG. 17, for example, the paper sheet is a banknote, the type storage unit C1 is a cassette (thousand-yen storage cassette) that stores 1,000 yen, and the type storage unit C2 is a cassette that stores 5,000 yen. (5,000 yen storage cassette), there is a cassette (10,000 yen storage cassette) in which the type storage section C3 stores 10,000 yen, the mixed storage section C4 is an operation cassette, and the deposit paper sheet storage section C6 is a deposit storage cassette Suppose that

  For example, if the storage location of the paper sheet is set in the type storage unit in step S404, and if 1000 yen is set in the paper sheet stored last in step S407, the remaining paper sheet is stored. A large amount of 1,000 yen is stored in the operation cassette. And 5,000 yen and 10,000 yen are stored in a 5,000 yen cassette and a 10,000 yen cassette, respectively.

  In this way, by using the operation cassette as a collection cassette, it becomes possible to shorten the examination processing time or prevent the deterioration of banknotes.

(3-3) Effects of this embodiment By storing the paper sheets of the type storage unit C1 having the largest number of remaining paper sheets in the mixing storage unit C4 at the end, the number of conveyances is reduced and the efficiency is improved. It is possible to execute a scrutiny process.

(4) Fourth Embodiment (4-1) External Configuration and Hardware Configuration of Automatic Transaction Device The external configuration and hardware configuration of the automatic transaction device 1 according to the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment. Since it is almost the same, detailed description is omitted. In the following, a configuration different from the first to third embodiments will be described in detail. The present embodiment is different from the first to third embodiments in that a staff member sets or designates a storage unit of a counting source or a storage destination in a loading process or a scrutiny process.

(4-2) Operation of the automatic transaction apparatus In the loading process or the scrutiny process, the process different from the first to third embodiments will be described in detail, and the same process as the first to third embodiments. The detailed description is omitted.

The clerk uses the screen shown in FIG. 18 to set the storage unit that is the counting source of the loading process or the storage unit that is the storage destination of the inspection process. When the automatic transaction apparatus 1 performs the loading process or the scrutiny process, the automatic transaction apparatus 1 counts from the storage unit of the counting source or stores it in the storage unit of the storage destination based on the setting information set by the staff. .

  Further, in addition to the method of performing the loading process based on the preset setting information, when performing the loading process or the scrutiny process, the clerk may specify the storage unit of the counting source or the storage destination. Good. For example, the clerk uses the screen shown in FIG. 19 to designate the storage unit of the counting source or storage destination when performing the loading process or the scrutiny process. The automatic transaction apparatus 1 performs a loading process or a scrutiny process according to the designation of the storage unit of the counting source or the storage destination.

  In addition, by combining the above two setting methods, a storage destination may be set in advance and held as setting information so that the storage unit of the storage destination can be designated again during the examination process. For example, based on the setting information, the storage unit of the storage destination of the scrutiny process is set and the scrutiny process is performed. When the storage process of the storage destination becomes full during the scrutiny process and the scrutinization process is interrupted, the scrutiny is performed by specifying the storage destination of the paper sheet after the scrutinization process is resumed using the screen shown in FIG. Processing may be continued.

(4-3) Effect of this Embodiment The counting source or storage destination storage unit is set immediately before the counting source or storage destination of the loading process or the scrutiny process is set in advance or when the staff performs the loading process or the scrutiny process. By specifying it, it becomes possible to operate according to the staff's request. Moreover, when the inspection process is interrupted, the paper sheet can be efficiently collected by designating the storage destination of the paper sheet after resumption.

  The present invention can be widely applied to a paper sheet processing apparatus in which paper sheets are loaded or scrutinized.
