Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet deposit / withdrawal apparatus and a paper sheet deposit / withdrawal method that can shorten the paper sheet withdrawal processing time.

  In recent stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores, a cash processing apparatus is installed as an automatic change machine for the purpose of strict customer handling and cash management. This money processing apparatus is normally connected to a host device such as a POS register (Point Of Sales) device, and performs processing for depositing / withdrawing money such as coins and banknotes in response to a command from the host device.

  Specifically, when money is inserted from the insertion slot after a deposit permission command is given from the host device, the money processing device takes these money into the device main body through the money transport passage, and authenticity and money Species are identified. When the money is regular money, it is stored in the storage for each denomination and the deposit amount information is transmitted to the host device.

  On the other hand, when a withdrawal command is given from the host device, a corresponding amount of money is carried out from the money stored in the storage through the money transport passage, and is paid out to the outside from the withdrawal port of the device body.

  Here, in patent document 1, what differentiates a banknote and a gift certificate by a single discrimination means is described by changing discrimination conditions. Thereby, even if it is a case where a banknote and a gift certificate are mixed and thrown into the insertion slot, manufacturing cost can be held down.

  Moreover, in patent document 2, the banknote discriminated as a denomination not used for change by the discrimination means is stored in the first banknote storage out of the banknote storage together with banknotes of denominations that can be used for change. Thereafter, of the banknotes stored in the first banknote storage, only denominations that are not used for change are transferred to the second banknote storage. Thereby, the stagnation of the subsequent banknote is eliminated and the deposit processing time is shortened.

  The deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 performs the deposit process of money according to the deposit permission command when the input permission command is given from the POS register device PR, and the withdrawal command is given from the POS register device PR. If it is, the withdrawal process of money is performed in accordance with the withdrawal instruction. In addition, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 sequentially stores the contents of the deposited process and the withdrawal process performed in the storage unit 60 as the deposit / withdrawal information 61 while the deposit process and the withdrawal process are being performed. Do.

  The deposit processing unit 52 and the withdrawal processing unit 53 perform deposit processing and withdrawal processing relating to banknotes during the control of the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51.

  The identification switching unit 54 switches the function of the banknote identification sensor 24 at the time of banknote withdrawal processing by the withdrawal processing unit 53. The banknote identification sensor 24 has a shape identification function for identifying the number of banknotes and a type identification function for identifying the type of banknote. And the banknote identification sensor 24 can switch the process implementation of only a shape identification function, and the process implementation of both a shape identification function and a type identification function according to the instruction | indication of the identification switch part 54. FIG. In the function switching of the identification switching unit 54 by the withdrawal processing unit 53, the type of banknote to be withdrawn (for example, 1000 yen banknote) is stored only in one storage (for example, 1000 yen banknote storage 25b). The bill identification sensor 24 is switched to only the shape identification function. In this case, the withdrawal processing unit 53 withdraws the banknote only in the case of an identification result with one banknote. In addition, the function switching of the identification switching unit 54 by the withdrawal processing unit 53 is performed when the instructed type of banknote to be withdrawn and another type (5000 yen banknote and 10000 yen banknote) are one storage (for example, mixed). When stored in the banknote storage 25c), switching is performed so that both the shape identification function and the type identification function operate. In this case, the withdrawal processing unit 53 withdraws the banknote when the banknote is identified as one and the type of the instructed banknote.

  The control unit 50 holds the opening history detected by the opening / closing sensor 2 a or the drawer detection sensor 2 b of the banknote storage unit 20 in the storage unit 60 as opening history information 63.

  The storage type number information 62 stored in the storage unit 60 updates and holds information on the number of banknotes stored for each banknote storage 25a, 25b, 25c. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the number of pieces of information 62 by storage type includes a retreat 25 a (attribute “1”), a 1000-yen bill storage 25 b (attribute “2”), and a mixed bill storage 25 c (attribute “ 3 ”), there are six types of banknotes: new 1000 yen banknote (attribute“ a ”), new 5000 yen banknote (attribute“ b ”), new 10000 yen banknote (attribute“ c ”), old 1000 yen banknote. (Attribute “d”), old 5000 yen banknote (attribute “e”), old 10,000 yen banknote (attribute “f”) storage number N11 to N13, N21 to N23, N31 to N33, N41 to N43, N51 to N53 , N61 to N63 are held. The storage numbers N11 to N13, N21 to N23, N31 to N33, N41 to N43, N51 to N53, and N61 to N63 respectively include storage attributes ("1" to "3") and banknote type attributes. ("A" to "f") are held in association with each other.

  Note that the banknote storage unit 20, the control unit 50, the storage unit 60, the open / close sensor 2a, and the drawer detection sensor 2b correspond to the paper sheet deposit and withdrawal device.

[Change mode processing]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a change mode process procedure which is a deposit / withdraw process repeatedly performed by the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 of the control unit 50 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 monitors the deposit permission command from the POS register device PR (step S101). When the deposit permission command is not given from the POS register device PR (No in step S101), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 proceeds to step S109.

  On the other hand, when a deposit permission command is given from the POS register device PR (step S101, Yes), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 sets the automatic change machine to a deposit permitted state (step S102), and thereafter, unillustrated insertion The deposit to the coin slot 11 and the bill slot 21 is monitored through the detection sensor (step S103).

  When the deposit from the coin insertion slot 11 or the bill insertion slot 21 is confirmed (step S103, Yes), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 identifies the money inserted via the coin identification sensor 14 or the bill identification sensor 24. In accordance with the identification result, a depositing process for transporting money to the corresponding coin storage 15 and bill storage 25 is performed (step S104). If no deposit is detected (No at Step S103), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 proceeds to Step S105 as it is.

  Thereafter, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 monitors whether or not there is a deposit amount request from the POS register device PR (step S105), and if there is a deposit amount request (step S105, Yes), it relates to the current deposit amount. A process of transmitting information to the POS register device PR is performed (step S106). In addition, when there is no deposit amount request | requirement (step S105, No), the deposit or withdrawal control part 51 transfers to step S107 as it is.

  Thereafter, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 determines whether there is a deposit end command from the POS register device PR (step S107). If there is no deposit end command (No at step S107), the procedure proceeds to step S103. Then, the processes in steps S103 to S107 described above are repeated.

  On the other hand, when there is a deposit end command from the POS register device PR (step S107, Yes), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 sets the automatic change machine to the deposit prohibition state (step S108), and then from the POS register device PR. It is monitored whether there is a withdrawal command (step S109).

  When a withdrawal instruction is given from the POS register device PR (step S109, Yes), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 uses the coins stored in the coin storage 15 or the bill storage 25 as coins as the coin dispensing slot 12 or A withdrawal process for paying out from the banknote withdrawal port 22 is performed (step S110), and the current change mode process is terminated. If the withdrawal instruction is not given from the POS register device PR (No at Step S109), the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 ends the current change mode process as it is.

  In the situation described above, for example, in the POS register device PR, the registration of the purchased product by the operator (the person in charge of the cash register) is completed, and the operator who has deposited more than the total amount of money from the product purchaser uses this as an automatic change machine In this case, after the registration of the purchased product is completed, a deposit permission command is given from the POS register device PR to the control unit 50 of the automatic change machine. On the other hand, when deposit amount information is transmitted from the automatic change machine into which money is inserted to the POS register device PR, (change) = (deposit amount) − (total purchase amount) is calculated in the POS register device PR, and the change is changed. In some cases, a withdrawal command corresponding to the change is output to the automatic change machine after the deposit end command. In the automatic change machine to which the withdrawal instruction is given, the money corresponding to the change is paid out from the coin dispensing slot 12 or the banknote dispensing slot 22, and this change is received together with the receipt output from the POS register device PR. Handed to.

  Thereafter, the change mode process described above is repeatedly performed, and the money processing apparatus functions as an automatic change machine. During this time, in the automatic change machine, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 performs processing for sequentially storing the contents of the deposited process and the withdrawal process performed as deposit / withdrawal information 61 in the storage unit 60.

[Deposit processing: banknotes]
FIG. 9 is a detailed flowchart showing the deposit processing procedure for the banknote in the deposit processing in step S104. As shown in FIG. 9, at the time of banknote deposit processing, the identification switching unit 54 performs both shape identification and type identification (step S201). Then, it is determined whether or not the shape identification result is one banknote (step S202). If it is one bill (step S202, Yes), it is further determined whether or not the type identification result is a preset type of bill that can be identified (step S203). In the case of a banknote of a preset type that can be identified (step S203, Yes), the banknote is stored in a preset storage where the set type is stored (step S204). Thereafter, the storage state of the banknotes in the storage, that is, the number information 62 by storage type is updated (step S205), and the process proceeds to step S207.

  On the other hand, when it is not one banknote (step S202, No) and when it is not a preset identifiable set type banknote (step S203, No), the banknote is returned from the banknote dispensing port 22 (step S206). The process proceeds to step S207.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a next banknote (step S207). If there is a next banknote (step S207, Yes), the process proceeds to step S201 and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, when there is no next banknote (step S207, No), it returns to step S104.

[Withdrawal processing: banknotes]
FIG. 10 is a detailed flowchart showing a withdrawal process procedure for banknotes in the withdrawal process of step S110. As shown in FIG. 10, first, with reference to banknote type storage preset for the storage, or with reference to the number-of-storage-type information 62, one type of banknote to be withdrawn is stored. It is determined whether it is stored only in the cabinet (step S301).

  If the instructed type of banknote to be withdrawn is stored in only one storage (step S301, Yes), the identification switching unit 54 causes the banknote identification sensor 24 to perform only shape identification ( Step S302). Then, it is judged whether this shape identification result is one banknote (step S303). When it is one bill (step S303, Yes), the bill is paid out from the bill dispensing port 22 as it is (step S304), and the process proceeds to step S308. On the other hand, if it is not a single banknote (No at Step S303), the banknote is retracted to the retreat box 25a (Step S305), and the process proceeds to Step S308.

  On the other hand, when the type of the banknote to be withdrawn is not stored in only one storage (step S301, No), the identification switching unit 54 identifies the shape and type of the banknote identification sensor 24. Both are performed (step S306). Thereafter, it is determined whether the shape identification result and the type identification result are one banknote and the type of the instructed banknote (Step S307). In the case of one banknote and the type of banknote instructed (step S307, Yes), the banknote is discharged as it is from the banknote dispensing port 22 (step S304), and the process proceeds to step S308. If the bill is not a single banknote and the type of banknote instructed (No at Step S307), the banknote is retracted to the retreat box 25a (Step S305), and the process proceeds to Step S308.

  Thereafter, the storage state of the bill storage, that is, the number information 62 by storage type is updated (step S308). Further, it is determined whether or not there is a next banknote (step S309). If there is a next banknote (step S309, Yes), the process proceeds to step S301 and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, when there is no next banknote (step S309, No), it returns to step S110.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the 1000-yen banknote storage 25b is a storage that stores only new 1000-yen banknotes, and there is an instruction to withdraw 1000-yen banknotes, the identification switching unit 54 It switches so that the banknote identification sensor 24 may perform only shape identification. And when the banknote identification sensor 24 performs the shape identification of one banknote, the banknote is dispensed as it is without performing complicated and time-consuming type identification. Moreover, when the banknote identification sensor 24 cannot identify the shape of one banknote, the banknote is retracted to the retreat box 25a.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the mixed banknote storage 25c is a storage that mixes and stores old 1000 yen banknotes, new 5000 yen banknotes, old 5000 yen banknotes, new 10000 yen banknotes, and old 10000 yen banknotes. When there is an instruction to withdraw a new 5000 yen banknote, the identification switching unit 54 switches the banknote identification sensor 24 to perform shape identification and type identification. Then, when the banknote identification sensor 24 is one banknote and the type is a new 5000 yen banknote, the banknote is paid out from the banknote dispensing port 22. Further, when the banknote identification sensor 24 determines that it is not one banknote, or when it is determined that the banknote is another type of banknote, the banknote is retracted to the retreat box 25a.

  In the first embodiment, the banknote identification sensor 24 can switch between a shape identification function, a shape identification function, and a type identification function, and the withdrawal processing unit 53 determines the type of banknote to be dispensed. When stored in only one storage, the banknote identification sensor 24 is switched to only the shape identification function via the identification switching unit 54, and the banknote is withdrawn only in the case of an identification result of one banknote. ing. For this reason, banknote identification time is shortened and the withdrawal efficiency (number of sheets / time) of a banknote can be improved.

  In Embodiment 1 described above, banknotes have been described as examples of paper sheets. However, the present invention can also be applied to a case of a cash voucher such as a gift certificate, or a case where banknotes and gift certificates are mixed. it can.

(Embodiment 2)
In the above-described first embodiment, the case where the instructed type of banknote to be withdrawn is stored in only one storage, but in this second embodiment, the instructed banknote to be withdrawn. This is also applied to the case where banknotes having the same monetary value are stored in only one storage. For example, when the new 1000 yen banknote and the old 1000 yen banknote are mixed and stored in the 1000 yen banknote storage 25b shown in FIG. 3, and the monetary value of the banknote to be withdrawn is 1000 yen The banknote identification sensor 24 is switched to only the shape identification function via the identification switching unit 54, and the banknote is dispensed only in the case of an identification result of one banknote.

  In this case, the number information 62 by storage type is replaced with the number information by storage value which is the number information by value of banknotes stored for each storage. The number-of-storage-by-value information stored in the storage unit 60 updates and holds information on the number of banknotes stored by value for each retreat 25a, 1000-yen bill storage 25b, and mixed bill storage 25c. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the number-of-storages value-by-storage information includes a retreat 25 a (attribute “1”), a 1000-yen bill storage 25 b (attribute “2”), and a mixed bill storage 25 c (attribute “3”). )), Three new value bills: a new 1000 yen bill and an old 1000 yen bill (attribute “A”) with a value of 1000 yen, a new 5000 bill and an old 5000 yen bill with a value of 5000 yen ( Attribute “B”), a new 10000 yen banknote having a value of 10,000 yen and an old 10000 yen banknote (attribute “C”) are each the same value banknote, and the number of stored sheets M11 to M13, M21 to M23, M31 to M33 is Retained. The storage number M11 to M13, M21 to M23, and M31 to M33 correspond to storage attributes ("1" to "3") and banknote value attributes ("A" to "C"), respectively. Attached and retained.

  In this Embodiment 2, when the banknote with the same value of the banknote which should be withdrawn is accommodated only in one storage, the banknote identification sensor 24 is shape-identified via the identification switching part 54. Only in the case of an identification result with one banknote, the banknote is withdrawn.

  As a result, as in the first embodiment, the bill recognition time can be shortened, the bill dispensing efficiency (number / time) can be improved, and the number of bills dispensed by performing only the shape recognition is increased. On the contrary, since the number of banknotes stored in the mixed banknote storage 25c is reduced, the efficiency of withdrawal (the number of withdrawals / total number) can be increased.

(Embodiment 3)
By the way, when the banknote storage unit 20 is opened by the open / close sensor 2a or the drawer detection sensor 2b for the banknote storage unit 20, the storage state of the banknotes in each banknote storage 25 is changed. There is a possibility that an error may occur in the number-of-storage-type information 62 or the number-of-storage-value information.

  For this reason, in Embodiment 3, the opening history of the banknote storage unit 20 is held as the opening history information 63 in the storage unit 60 shown in FIG. Then, the withdrawal processing unit 53 permits the withdrawal of the banknote only by the shape identification described above on condition that there is no opening history in the opening history information 63.

[Withdrawal processing: banknotes]
FIG. 12 is a detailed flowchart showing a dispensing process procedure for a bill according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, in the withdrawal process of the third embodiment, step S301a for determining whether or not the opening history is open is added after step S301 of the withdrawal process shown in FIG. When there is no opening in the opening history (step S301a, No), only shape identification is performed (step S302), and when there is opening in the opening history (step S301a, Yes), shape identification and type identification are performed. (Step S306). Other processing procedures are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, a condition that the opening history is not opened is further added to the first and second embodiments to suppress the occurrence of a withdrawal processing error. This reduces the burden on the operator.

  Paper sheets are also applied to the second and third embodiments. Further, the third embodiment can also process each banknote having the same value as the second embodiment.
