Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus, and can be applied to, for example, a cash processing apparatus including a plurality of medium storage units that store media.

  For example, an automatic teller machine (ATM) provided in a financial institution such as a bank includes a medium storage unit (for example, a banknote cassette unit) that stores banknotes.

  Generally, an ATM banknote cassette unit is dedicated to depositing, withdrawing, storing deposited banknotes, and depositing / withdrawing banknotes stored during subsequent withdrawals (hereinafter referred to as reflux recycling). And so on.) Some store banknotes of only one type of denomination, while others store banknotes of multiple types of denominations.

  Thus, the usage of the banknote cassette part and the denomination to be handled can be set according to the operation of each ATM. A staff member such as a financial institution or a security company replaces the banknote cassette unit or loads banknotes into the banknote cassette unit according to the setting.

  For example, when the banknote cassette unit dedicated for depositing or for recycling-type recycling becomes full (full), the clerk replaces it with an empty banknote cassette unit. Moreover, when the banknote cassette part only for payment | withdrawal becomes empty, work, such as exchanging the banknote cassette part in which the banknote was loaded, or loading a banknote in the banknote cassette part which became empty, is performed.

  After the work of the banknote cassette unit as described above, the clerk confirms the number of the banknote cassette units on a screen for the clerk such as an ATM examination screen. Usually, the usage and denomination of the bill cassette unit are not changed unless the operation is changed once set. On the other hand, replacement of the bill cassette unit and loading of bills into the bill cassette unit and subsequent determination of the number of bills are repeated.

It displays a setting screen for setting usages and denominations, a scrutiny screen for staff, and displays customer input information. The first embodiment exemplifies a case where the operation display unit 54 applies a touch panel type operation display unit. Note that the operation display unit 54 is not limited to a touch panel type in which the operation unit and the display unit are integrated, and the operation unit and the display unit may be physically different from each other.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration of a control system of the cash processing apparatus 1A according to the first embodiment.

  In FIG. 1, the cash processing apparatus 1 </ b> A according to the first embodiment includes a control unit 10 </ b> A, an operation display control unit 14, a card mechanism control unit 15, a passbook mechanism control unit 16, a transport mechanism control unit 17, and a bill recognition unit 19. .

  10 A of control parts govern the whole function of 1 A of cash processing apparatuses. The control unit 10A includes, for example, a CPU, ROM, RAM, EEPROM, an input / output interface unit, and the like. 10 A of control parts implement | achieve the function of 1 A of cash processing apparatuses, when CPU runs the processing program memorize | stored in ROM, for example. The processing program can be constructed by installation, and even in that case, the processing program can be functionally shown in FIG.

  FIG. 1 shows main functional units executed by the control unit 10A. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the control unit 10A includes a transaction processing unit 110, a cassette management unit 120A, and a storage unit 130.

  The transaction processing unit 110 performs a deposit transaction and a withdrawal transaction in the cash processing apparatus 1A. The withdrawal transaction is a transaction for paying cash to the customer, and includes, for example, a withdrawal transaction. The deposit transaction is a transaction for depositing cash received from a customer, such as a deposit transaction or a transfer transaction. When the transaction processing unit 110 receives the input information of the transaction type desired by the customer via the operation display unit 54, the transaction processing unit 110 executes the transaction process according to the procedure according to the transaction type, and the center and the communication unit (not shown) Exchange transaction information between them to complete the transaction. The transaction processing unit 110 stores transaction information regarding various completed transactions in the storage unit 130.

  120 A of cassette management parts manage the state of each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 (refer FIG. 3) in 1 A of cash processing apparatuses. 120 A of cassette management parts manage the setting information, such as the use allocated to each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4, and the money type of the banknote to be accommodated. The usage and denomination of each of the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 may be set as setting information in advance, or the setting information input through the dedicated screen may be registered or changed. good. Also, the cassette management unit 120A may set the storage amount (storage number) of banknotes stored in each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4.

  In addition, the cassette management unit 120A allows each bill cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 to pass through a sensor group that detects the amount of bills stored (number of stored sheets) provided in the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. Manage whether it is full or empty. For example, when the banknote cassette unit for depositing or recycling recycling is full, or for example, when the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 for dispensing are emptied, the cassette management unit 120A. May report that the bill cassette part is empty. Thereby, it is possible to prompt the staff to replace the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 or load banknotes into the empty banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4.

  Furthermore, when the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are exchanged or the banknotes are loaded into the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, the cassette management unit 120A may change the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-56. -4 to confirm the number of banknotes stored. The existing method can be widely applied to the method for determining the number of stored banknotes in each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. For example, the number of banknotes may be determined based on the number of sheets input by a staff member for each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 through a scrutiny screen. Further, for example, when an attendant inserts a large number of banknotes into the deposit / withdrawal unit 51 and loads them into the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, the inserted banknotes pass through the banknote recognition unit 19, and the banknote recognition unit After the cassette management unit 120A displays the number counted by 19 on the scrutiny screen, an attendant may confirm the number of banknotes.

  In addition, when the cassette management unit 120A determines the number of banknotes in each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 through the examination screen, the banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are displayed. The banknote recognition unit 19 conveys the banknote and recognizes the denomination of the banknote. 120 A of cassette management parts display the recognition result of the banknote recognition part 19 on a close examination screen together with the money type set to each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4. Thereby, since the clerk can confirm the denomination of the banknote actually stored in each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4, and the set denomination, the mistake of the banknote to store is possible. Can be eliminated.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the cassette management unit 120 </ b> A includes a storage information setting unit 121, a storage state management unit 122, a stored banknote confirmation unit 123, a recognition result acquisition unit 124, and a display control unit 125.

The storage information setting part 121 sets the usage of each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4, the money type of a storage banknote, etc. The setting information is information including the usage, denomination, determined number of sheets, the upper limit value or the lower limit value of the number of stored sheets of each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4. As described above, the use is classified into deposit-only, withdrawal-only, reflux-type recycling, and the like. The denomination is a type of medium. For example, in the case of Japanese yen, it is a denomination such as a 10,000 yen ticket, a 5,000 yen ticket, or a thousand yen ticket. One denomination or two or more denominations may be assigned to one banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4. For example, in the case of a banknote cassette unit dedicated for depositing, it is possible to store banknotes of a plurality of denominations.

The upper limit value or the lower limit value of the number of stored sheets is a value for informing the exchange of the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 that are full or empty. The upper limit value or the lower limit value may be a single value, or a plurality of values including a value before being considered full or empty (for example, a value indicating a pre-full state or a pre-empty state). Also good.

The storage state management unit 122 manages the storage state of each bill cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4. The storage state management unit 122 compares the sensor signal from the sensor group provided in each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 with the setting information, and stores each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-1. When it is determined whether 56-4 is full or empty, and the full or empty state is detected, the storage state management unit 122 notifies the staff and the like to that effect.
Moreover, various methods can be applied as a method for notifying the staff of the state of the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. For example, an alarm display unit (for example, an LED lamp or the like) that notifies that the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are full or empty. It is possible to apply a method such as lighting or blinking or displaying a warning message on a screen for a staff member.

  The stored banknote confirmation unit 123 confirms the denominations of banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 when determining banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. Is. For example, when the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are exchanged or when banknotes are loaded into the empty banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, the banknote cassette unit 56-1 is used. When the banknotes are loaded into the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, the banknotes actually stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are confirmed.

  The method of confirming the denomination of the banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 by the stored banknote verification unit 123 is, for example, at the highest level stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. It is possible to apply a method in which a certain banknote or a plurality of banknotes are fed one by one and conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 19 to recognize the denomination of each banknote.

  The banknotes actually stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 that have been exchanged are fed out, and the denomination is determined by the banknote recognition unit 19, thereby determining the denomination of the actual stored banknotes. be able to. Thereby, even when the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 to be exchanged are set incorrectly, or when a banknote inserted from the deposit / withdrawal part 51 is erroneously loaded into another banknote cassette part, After loading, the denomination of the actual stored banknote can be confirmed.

  The recognition result acquisition unit 124 acquires the recognition result of the denominations of the banknotes stored in the exchanged banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 from the banknote recognition unit 19.

  The display control unit 125 uses the information including the usage and denomination set in each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 and the recognition result acquired by the recognition result acquisition unit 124 as a scrutiny screen as the operation display unit 54. Is displayed.

  The storage unit 130 stores a processing program executed by the control unit 10A, screen information to be displayed on the operation display unit 54, transaction information performed by the transaction processing unit 110, setting information of each bill cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4, and the like. It is something to remember.

The operation display control unit 14 controls display operations, input operations, and the like of the display screen displayed on the operation display unit 54 under the control of the control unit 10A. That is, the operation display control unit 14 displays the screen on the operation display unit 54 based on the screen information from the control unit 10A, and gives the information input from the operation display unit 54 to the control unit 10A. is there.

Further, the card mechanism control unit 15 reads card information stored in a storage unit (for example, a magnetic storage unit or an IC chip) of a cash card inserted from the card insertion / exit 52, and uses the card information as the control unit 10A. To give.

  The bankbook mechanism control unit 16 takes in or discharges the bankbook from the bankbook entry / exit 53 under the control of the control unit 10A. Further, the passbook mechanism control unit 16 reads passbook information (for example, magnetic stripe data) stored in a passbook storage unit (for example, a magnetic data storage unit or an IC chip) inserted from the passbook entry / exit 53, The passbook information is given to the control unit 10A.

  The transport mechanism control unit 17 controls the transport operation of the transport mechanism 171 that transports banknotes under the control of the control unit 10A.

  The transport mechanism 171 transports banknotes under the control of the transport mechanism control unit 17. The transport mechanism 171 includes, for example, a roller, a roller driving mechanism (for example, a motor), a solenoid, and the like.

  The banknote recognition unit 19 takes in banknotes related to withdrawal or banknotes one by one under the control of the control unit 10A, and determines the denomination of the banknotes or authenticity determination (whether the banknotes are normal banknotes). Or is it a counterfeit ticket), a judgment of damage, a counting process, and the like are performed. The banknote recognition part 19 is also called a discrimination part. The banknote recognition part 19 can apply the existing discrimination method widely.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a conveyance path inside the cash processing apparatus 1 </ b> A according to the first embodiment.

  In FIG. 3, the cash processing apparatus 1 </ b> A includes a deposit / withdrawal unit 51, a bill recognition unit 19, a temporary storage unit 55 as a temporary storage unit, and a plurality (four in FIG. 3) of bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. , And has a conveyance path 57.

  Here, the conveyance path | route of the banknote in the case of a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction is demonstrated. At the time of deposit transaction, banknotes inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 51 are conveyed one by one to the banknote recognition unit 19 and subjected to discrimination processing, and the banknotes that have passed through the banknote recognition unit 19 are transported to the temporary storage unit 55. Stored temporarily. After all the banknotes are transported to the temporary storage unit 55 and the deposit transaction is completed, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit 55 pass through the banknote recognition unit 19 one by one, and the banknote recognition unit 19 recognizes the banknotes. Based on this, it is conveyed to the banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 for every corresponding denomination.

  In the case of a withdrawal transaction, the designated number of banknotes is paid out one by one from the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 of the denominations of the withdrawal banknotes based on the input withdrawal information. The fed banknotes are conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 19, subjected to a discrimination process, etc., and stored in the temporary storage unit 55. When the specified number of banknotes of all denominations to be withdrawn are paid out, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit 55 are conveyed to the depositing / withdrawing unit 51.

  The temporary storage unit 55 temporarily stores banknotes. As described above, the temporary storage unit 55 temporarily stores banknotes during a deposit transaction or a withdrawal transaction.

  Further, the temporary storage unit 55 is exchanged or loaded when the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are exchanged or banknotes are loaded into the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. The bills fed out from 56-1 to 56-4 and passed through the bill recognition unit 19 are temporarily stored. In addition, the banknote temporarily stored is conveyed to each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 via the banknote recognition part 19. FIG.

  Each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 stores banknotes related to withdrawal and banknotes related to deposit. The banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are medium storage units for storing banknotes. The banknotes are stored as cassettes in which banknotes are stored in advance as medium storage units exclusively for withdrawals or as media storage units dedicated to deposits. It may be an empty cassette that is not used. Moreover, the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 store the banknote deposited at the time of money_receiving | payment, and the medium storage which has the recirculation | reflux type | mold recycling function which draws out the banknote accommodated at the time of money withdrawal, and makes it a banknote for money withdrawal May be part.

  The bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 each have a predetermined use and a denomination of bills to be stored. In the first embodiment, all the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 use a medium storage unit having a reflux type recycling function, and the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-56 having a reflux type recycling function. The case where any use and denomination for deposit-only, withdrawal-only, or reflux-type recycling is set for each of -4 is illustrated. In 1st Embodiment, although the case where there are four banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 is illustrated, the number of banknote cassette parts is not specifically limited.

  The conveyance path 57 is a conveyance path which conveys a banknote mutually among the depositing / withdrawing part 51, the banknote recognition part 19, the temporary storage part 55, and the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4. The conveyance direction and the conveyance destination of the conveyance path 57 are determined by the operation of the conveyance mechanism 171.

(A-2) Operation of the first embodiment Next, the operation of the processing when the banknotes to be stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 in the cash processing apparatus 1A of the first embodiment are determined. This will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the confirmation process of banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 in the cash processing apparatus 1A of the first embodiment.

  In the cash processing apparatus 1 </ b> A, when the banknotes in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 dedicated for depositing or refluxing recycle are full, the clerk exchanges the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. Moreover, when the banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 only for payment | withdrawal becomes empty, a staff loads the banknote thrown in from the deposit or withdrawal part 51 into the banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4, or The bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are exchanged.

  After the exchange of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, the attendant displays a scrutiny screen on the operation display unit 54 in order to determine the number of banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. (S101). Note that the operation screen for determining the number of banknotes in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 only needs to be included in the dedicated screen for the staff, and in this embodiment, the operation screen is included in the review screen. And

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a scrutiny screen according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the scrutiny screen 500 includes various selection buttons 504 selected by the staff in the cash processing apparatus 1 </ b> A, a “confirm” button 502, and a “cancel” button 503. Among the various selection buttons 504, there is a “banknote cassette number setting” button 501 for setting the number of banknotes of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4.

  After exchanging the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, the clerk selects the “Bill cassette number setting” button 501 on the scrutiny screen 500 in FIG. 5 and then presses the “confirm” button 502. Thereby, the determination processing of the banknote number of the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 is started in the cash processing apparatus 1A.

  When the confirmation process of the number of banknotes in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 is started, the cassette management unit 120A sets the number of banknotes in order for each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. 120 A of cassette management parts confirm the use and denomination set to each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 by setting information in the banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 130. FIG. (S102). Thereby, the use and denomination set to each bill cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 can be displayed.

  Next, the cassette management unit 120A instructs the transport mechanism control unit 17 to feed out the banknotes stored in each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 in a predetermined order. At this time, the transport mechanism control unit 17 receives one or a plurality of banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 under the control of the cassette management unit 120A. Then, the transport mechanism control unit 17 causes the banknote recognition unit 19 to transport the fed banknotes one by one (S103).

  Identification information (for example, ID) is given to the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, and the cassette management unit 120A stores banknotes in a predetermined order with respect to the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. It is also possible to issue a feeding instruction.

  For example, when “identification number: A”, “identification number: B”, “identification number: C”, and “identification number: D” are assigned to each of the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. Alternatively, it may be instructed to pay out stored bills in the order of “identification number: A” → “identification number: B” → “identification number: C” → “identification number: D”.

  In addition, for example, in the case of a banknote cassette section dedicated for depositing, a banknote cassette section in which banknotes are not stored is set. For this reason, the cassette management unit 120A may not allow the stored banknotes to be paid out for the banknote cassette unit dedicated for depositing based on the setting information. That is, 120 A of cassette management parts may have an exclusion function which does not perform recognition processing of a storage bill of bill cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4. Of course, it is necessary to check the banknotes stored in all the banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 in order to check the set mistake of the exchanged banknote cassette sections. However, for example, when there is only one banknote cassette section dedicated for depositing, if the banknotes stored in the other three banknote cassette sections are recognized, it is possible to detect a mistake in setting the banknote cassette section. Only the bill cassette part may be excluded.

  The denomination of the banknote conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 19 is determined by the banknote recognition unit 19. The bills that have passed through the bill recognition unit 19 are transported to the temporary storage unit and temporarily held.

For example, the banknotes in the temporary storage unit 55 may be returned as they are to the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 that are fed out after the denomination is determined by the banknote recognition unit 19. Thereby, mixing of banknotes of different denominations can be prevented.

Further, for example, the banknotes in the temporary storage unit 55 are held until the banknote number of each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 is determined, and the banknote number of each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 is determined. Then, the banknote of a temporary storage part is conveyed again to the banknote recognition part 19, and it is made to be conveyed by each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 based on the money type discrimination | determination result of the banknote recognition part 19. May be. Even in this case, after the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are correctly mounted, the banknotes in the temporary storage unit 55 are returned to the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 for each denomination. Can be prevented from being mixed. In addition, about the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 only for withdrawal, after the banknotes are delivered, the delivered banknotes may not be stored. In this case, the delivered banknotes are stored in the temporary storage part 55 or the like. You can keep it. In addition, as long as it can hold | maintain temporarily, it is not limited to the temporary storage part 55, You may make it hold | maintain in another accommodating part.

  The recognition result determined by the banknote recognition unit 19 is notified to the cassette management unit 120A, and the cassette management unit 120A denominations of the banknotes actually stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. The discrimination result can be recognized (S104).

  Here, the banknote which makes the banknote recognition part 19 discriminate | determine a money type may be one sheet (namely, one banknote accommodated in the highest rank of each banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4). There is an advantage that the time for determining the number of banknotes can be shortened by using one banknote for denomination discrimination. However, the number of banknotes to be denominated is not limited to one and can be a plurality of banknotes. Thereby, the denomination of a storage bill can be made to recognize reliably.

  When the cassette management unit 120A acquires the recognition result from the banknote recognition unit 19, the cassette management unit 120A displays a screen including the recognition result of the banknotes actually stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. (S105), the number of banknotes stored in each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 is input by the operation of the staff (S106).

  Recognized banknotes are recognized for all banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 (S107), and the clerk passes through a screen including the recognition results of stored banknotes of each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4. It is confirmed whether the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 are set correctly and the number of banknotes is determined (S108).

  FIG. 6 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a screen including the recognition result of the banknotes stored in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 according to the first embodiment.

  A screen 510 illustrated in FIG. 6 includes a display unit 511 that displays setting information of the bill cassette units 56-1 to 56-4, a “confirm” button 512, and a “cancel” button 513.

  In the display unit 511, an item “banknote cassette” indicating identification information of a cassette mounting unit in which the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 are mounted is set in the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4. Item “use” and item “denomination” indicating use and denomination, item “recognition result denomination” indicating recognition result by banknote recognition unit 19, and number of banknotes stored in each banknote cassette unit 56-1 to 56-4 The item “number of sheets” is shown.

  For example, regarding the banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 having the reflux type recycling function, the banknote cassette section 56-1 is “banknote cassette: A”, the banknote cassette section 56-2 is “banknote cassette: B”, and the banknote cassette. The part 56-3 is “banknote cassette: C” and “banknote cassette: D”. All the banknote cassette parts 56-1 to 56-4 shall have a reflux type recycle function.

  In the case of FIG. 6, the banknote cassette units 56-1 to 56-4 that are mounted on the cassette mounting unit of the item “banknote cassette: A” have the item “use” as “recycle (for reflux recycling)” and the item “gold”. It is assumed that “Species” is set to “JPY10000 (Japanese Yen 10,000 yen voucher)”. And after the banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 with which the cassette mounting part of item "banknote cassette: A" is replaced | exchanged, the banknote drawn | fed out from the said banknote cassette part 56-1 to 56-4 concerned The denomination is recognized as “JPY10000” by the banknote recognition unit 19, and the recognition result is displayed as the item “recognition result denomination: JPY10000” on the display unit 511.

In addition, in the item “banknote cassette: D”, the banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 of the item “use: deposit (dedicated for deposit)” and the item “denomination: plural” should be set.

  However, since empty banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 dedicated for depositing are set in the cassette mounting section of the item “banknote cassette: C”, banknotes are not fed out from the banknote cassette section, and banknote recognition is performed. Denomination discrimination by part 19 was not performed. Therefore, the item “recognition result denomination: unknown” is displayed on the display unit 511.

  On the other hand, the denomination of the banknote fed out from the banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 set in the cassette mounting section of the item “banknote cassette: D” is recognized as “JPY5000” by the banknote recognition section 19 and recognized. The result is displayed as an item “recognition result denomination: JPY5000” on the display unit 511.

  The item “banknote cassette: D” is “item: denomination: plural” because the banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 dedicated to depositing are mounted, and therefore limited to specific denominations. Instead, it shows that multiple types of denominations are stored.

  Therefore, even if “recognition result denomination: JPY5000” does not cause a problem, the relationship between the item “banknote cassette: C” or the item “use: payment” of the item “banknote cassette: D” In this regard, the clerk shows that the banknote cassette sections 56-1 to 56-4 set in the cassette mounting section of the item “banknote cassette: C” and the section “banknote cassette: D” are set incorrectly. It can be recognized by looking at the screen of FIG.

  Note that the cassette management unit 120A compares the item “denomination” with the item “recognition result denomination” on the screen 510 in FIG. 6 and displays a predetermined error display if the contents are different. good. For example, an error message may be popped up on the screen 510 in FIG. Further, for example, on the screen 510 of FIG. 6, the cell portion or column of the item “Bill Cassette: C” and the item “Bill Cassette: D” in which an error has occurred may be displayed in red or blinking. .
