As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 is configured such that the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 includes each unit (the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, the transport unit 24, the discrimination unit 18, the temporary storage unit 20, the recycling box 26, and the depositing unit). The safe 28) is comprehensively controlled.

  The depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 is mainly configured by a CPU (not shown), and reads and executes a predetermined program from the storage unit 13 (FIG. 1) including a ROM, a RAM, a hard disk drive, a flash memory, and the like. Each part is controlled to perform various processes such as deposit transactions and withdrawal transactions.

  Inside the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10, a banknote depositing / dispensing part 16, a discrimination part 18 for judging the denomination and authenticity of the banknote, a temporary holding part 20 for temporarily retaining the banknote, and the like are provided on the upper side.

  The banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16 separates banknotes input from customers one by one and feeds them to the transport unit 24. Moreover, the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 16 separates and holds the banknote delivered to the conveyance part 24 and the banknote returned to the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 16 as a non-depositable banknote. Furthermore, the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 16 is provided with a banknote detection sensor (not shown) that detects whether or not there is a banknote to be fed to the transport unit 24 inside the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 16.

  The transport unit 24 transports rectangular banknotes in the short direction along a transport path indicated by a thick line in the drawing by a roller, a belt, or the like (not shown). The transport unit 24 transports banknotes so that the discrimination unit 18 is inserted in the front-rear direction, and the rear side of the discrimination unit 18, the temporary storage unit 20, the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16, the recycle box 26, and the safe deposit box 28, respectively. Connected. Moreover, the conveyance part 24 has connected the front side of the discrimination part 18, and the banknote depositing / withdrawing part 16, the recycle box 26, and the deposit box 28, respectively. A selector (not shown) is provided at a branching point of the transport unit 24, and the banknote transport destination is switched by rotating based on the control of the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12. The transport unit 24 is provided with banknote detection sensors for detecting banknotes at a plurality of locations, and sends the banknote detection results to the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12.

  The discriminating unit 18 discriminates the denomination and authenticity of the banknote, the degree of damage (correctness), etc. using the optical element, the magnetic detection element, etc. while conveying the banknote, and the discrimination result is obtained. Notify the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12. Moreover, the discrimination part 18 reads and identifies the serial number which is the banknote identification information comprised by the alphanumeric character etc. which were provided for every banknote and were previously printed on the one surface of the banknote from the image data of the imaged banknote. At this time, the discrimination unit 18 notifies the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 of the identified character as an identification result. In response to this, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 determines a banknote transport destination based on the acquired discrimination result and identification result.

  The temporary holding unit 20 temporarily holds the banknotes that cannot be withdrawn at the time of withdrawal until the banknotes that can be withdrawn are withdrawn, and then the withdrawal is not possible. The banknote is discharged to the deposit box 28.

  Moreover, inside the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10, a denomination type recycle box 26 (26 a, 26 b and 26 c), a banknote discriminated from a banknote (so-called damaged banknote) damaged in the discrimination section 18, and a counterfeit ticket There is provided a safe box 28 for storing the determined banknotes and banknotes of denominations such as 5,000 and 2,000 tickets that are not returned. The recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28 are configured to be detachable from slots provided in the bill depositing / dispensing machine 10. The recycle box 26 takes in the banknotes transported from the transport unit 24 by the storage and discharge mechanism, accumulates them on the upper side of the banknotes already stored, and discharges them in order from the highest banknote in the banknotes stored. To the transport unit 24.

  Each of the safe 28 and the recycle bins 26a, 26b, and 26c has a built-in cassette storage unit 32 constituted by, for example, a flash memory. The cassette memory | storage part 32 acquires the identification result of a serial number from the deposit or withdrawal machine control part 12, and memorize | stores it for every banknote. The cassette storage unit 32 includes the number of banknotes stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe 28 in which the cassette storage unit 32 storing the cassette serial number list Lc is stored, and the cassette serial number list shown in FIG. Lc is stored. The cassette serial number list Lc is the order in which the serial numbers of all banknotes stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe 28 containing the cassette storage unit 32 storing the cassette serial number list Lc are stored. That is, from the upper side of the cassette serial number list Lc to the lower side, the maximum number of sheets stored so that the banknotes stacked on the lower side from the banknotes stacked on the upper side of the recycling cabinet 26 or the safe deposit box 28 is changed. The serial number is stored as a list. When the transaction is normally completed, the bills are stored in the recycling cabinet 26 or the deposit box 28 in the order described in the cassette serial number list Lc stored in the cassette storage unit 32 of the recycling cabinet 26 or the deposit box 28. It will be.

  Here, the cassette serial number list Lc shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the cassette storage unit 32 of the recycle box 26a, and the recycle box 26a includes identification information for identifying the recycle box 26 and the safe 28. As a cassette number, “100001” is assigned. In addition, “100002”, “100003”, and “100005” are assigned to the cassette numbers of the recycle bins 26b and 26c and the safe 28, respectively. The cassette serial number list Lc stores serial numbers of banknotes stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe deposit box 28 by deposit processing together with transaction ID, date information, time information, and transaction information. Specifically, the cassette serial number list Lc stores identification information for identifying the transaction in which the banknote is stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe 28 in the column of “transaction ID” indicating transaction ID information, and stores date information. The date when the banknotes are stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe deposit box 28 is stored in the “date” column, and the banknotes are stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe box 28 in the “time” column indicating the time information. The “transaction” column that stores the time and stores “payment” that is a transaction when the banknote is stored in the recycle box 26 or the deposit box 28 in the “transaction” column that indicates transaction information, and “serial number” that indicates serial number information. The identified serial number is stored in the column.

  The serial number information of the cassette serial number list Lc is notified to the main control unit 9 via the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12, and the main control unit 9 summarizes the information of all the recycle bins 26 and the safe deposit boxes 28. It is stored in the 30 stored banknote serial number list Li.

  In this configuration, in the automatic teller machine 1, the main control unit 9 and the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 control each unit based on the banknote discrimination result and the identification result by the discrimination unit 18, and the banknote depositing and dispensing process Perform gold processing.

[1-3. Deposit processing]
Next, a specific processing procedure of the deposit process by the automatic teller machine 1 will be described in detail with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG.11 and FIG.12, the inside of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 is simplified and shown in figure.

  When the customer performs a deposit transaction, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 of the banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 10 starts the deposit processing procedure RT1 shown in FIG. 9 by reading and executing the deposit processing program from the storage unit 13, and step SP1. Move on. In step SP1, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 opens the shutter of the depositing / dispensing port 5, inserts banknotes into the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, and transports the banknotes one by one to the discrimination unit 18 for discrimination. A result is acquired and it moves to step SP2. In step SP2, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 causes the discrimination unit 18 to identify the serial number of the banknote, obtains the identification result, and proceeds to step SP3.

  In step SP3, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 determines whether or not the discrimination result is normal. If an affirmative result is obtained here, this indicates that the banknote is a depositable banknote because the discrimination result is normal. At this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP4. In step SP4, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 switches the selector (not shown) to the route R1 as shown in FIG. 11, and conveys the banknote directly from the discrimination unit 18 to the recycle box 26 without passing through the temporary storage unit 20. That is, direct deposit is performed and the process proceeds to step SP6.

  In step SP6, the depositing / dispensing machine controller 12 stores the serial numbers of the banknotes conveyed to the recycle box 26 or the deposit box 28, and the cassette serial number list in the cassette storage unit 32 in the recycle box 26 or the deposit box 28 in which the banknotes are stored. By adding to Lc, the cassette serial number list Lc is updated, and the process proceeds to step SP7. Specifically, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 receives three banknotes with serial numbers “11117”, “111118”, and “11119” in order from the state of the cassette serial number list Lc shown in FIG. For example, when stored in the recycle box 26a, as in the cassette serial number list Lc shown in FIG. 5, the transaction ID2 that is the transaction ID of the previous deposit transaction is used as the transaction ID3 that is the transaction ID for identifying the present deposit transaction. On the top, “11117”, “111118” and “11119” are added as serial number information in order from the bottom, and date information, time information and transaction information corresponding to the serial number information are added.

  In step SP7, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 sends the identification result of the serial number of the banknote conveyed to the recycle box 26 or the deposit box 28 to the main control unit 9, and proceeds to step SP8. The main control unit 9 obtains the serial number acquired from the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 in the row with the cassette number of the recycle box 26 or the deposit box 28 storing the current banknote in the stored banknote serial number list Li. It is added above the serial number information.

  On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP3, this indicates that the banknote is a non-payable banknote. At this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP5. In step SP5, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 switches the selector (not shown) to the route R2 as shown in FIG. 11, conveys the banknote from the discrimination unit 18 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 16, and proceeds to step SP8.

  In step SP8, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 determines whether or not the banknote is jammed in the transport unit 24 when the banknote is transported to the recycle box 26, and a jam that is a transport failure has occurred. If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the conveyance failure has not occurred, so that the banknote is continuously fed out from the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, and at this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP9.

  In step SP9, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 determines whether or not there is a bill to be fed to the transport unit 24 in the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 16 by the bill detection sensor. If an affirmative result is obtained here, this means that the inserted banknote still remains in the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, and at this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 returns to step SP1, and the banknote depositing / dispensing unit The next banknote is fed out to the transport unit 24 from 16. On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP9, this means that all the inserted banknotes have been fed out from the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16 to the transporting unit 24. At this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP10. .

  In step SP10, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 at the time of the previous transaction indicating the serial number of the last banknote at the time of the previous transaction, which is the banknote accumulated at the highest level in each of the recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28 at the end of the current deposit transaction. The last banknote serial number LN is set in all the recycle boxes 26 and the deposit boxes 28 in the stored banknote serial number list Li. Specifically, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 at the end of the current deposit transaction, in the stored banknote serial number list Li shown in FIG. 7, the final banknote at the time of the previous transaction in the recycle box 26 a to which “100001” is assigned as the cassette number. The last banknote serial number LN at the previous transaction of the last banknote at the previous transaction of the recycle box 26b assigned the serial number “11119” as the cassette number and “100002” as the cassette number is the serial number “222229”. ”, The last banknote serial number LN of the last transaction at the previous transaction of the recycle box 26c assigned with the cassette number“ 100003 ”is assigned the serial number“ 333339 ”and the cassette number“ 100005 ”is assigned. The last banknote serial number LN at the time of the previous transaction of the safe 28 is set to the serial number “555559”. That.

  Subsequently, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP13, and terminates the deposit processing procedure RT1.

  On the other hand, if a conveyance failure occurs during the deposit transaction, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 obtains a positive result in step SP8, interrupts the deposit transaction, and proceeds to step SP11. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the stored banknote serial number list Li is stored in the recycle box 26a (cassette number “100001”) with serial numbers “11111A”, “11111B”, “1111 ??” from the state shown in FIG. And “11111? 1” are added in order, and serial numbers “333340” and “333341” are added to the recycle box 26c (cassette number “100003”) in this order.

  Here, the serial number of the currently stored banknote, which is a banknote accumulated on the last banknote at the time of the previous transaction before the occurrence of a conveyance failure in the current deposit transaction, is also referred to as the currently stored banknote serial number TN. Incidentally, “?” In the serial number indicates an unread character whose serial number could not be read in the discrimination unit 18.

  In step SP11, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 stores the serial number “11119”, serial number “222229”, the serial number LN at the previous transaction of the recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28 from the stored bank serial number list Li. The numbers “333339” and “555559” are extracted, and the process proceeds to step SP12.

  In step SP12, when the bank operator operates the display unit 6 to display the final banknote serial number presentation screen for the previous transaction via the operation display unit 6, the final banknote serial number for the previous transaction shown in FIG. The screen DIP1 is displayed on the operation display unit 6 as a presentation unit, the process proceeds to step SP13, and the deposit processing procedure RT1 is terminated. This last bill serial number presentation screen DIP1 at the time of the previous transaction indicates the last bill serial number LN at the time of the previous transaction of the recycle box 26 and the safe 28 extracted from the stored bill serial number list Li.

  The bank clerk confirms the last banknote serial number LN displayed in the previous transaction at the last banknote serial number presentation screen DIP1, and is accumulated above the banknote with the last banknote serial number LN at the previous transaction. From the recycle box 26 and the safe deposit box 28 as banknotes to be returned to the customer after the banknotes accumulated up to the end of the previous transaction and stored in the current transaction in which a conveyance failure has occurred. Take it out and return it to the customer. Specifically, the bank employee is accumulated above the banknote with the serial number “11119”, which is the last banknote serial number LN at the time of the previous transaction in the recycle box 26a (cassette number “100001”). 11111A ”,“ 11111B ”,“ 1111 ?? ”and“ 1111? 1 ”are taken out from the recycle box 26a, returned to the customer, and pre-transaction in the recycle box 26c (cassette number“ 100003 ”). The banknotes with the serial numbers “333340” and “333341”, which are accumulated above the banknote with the serial number “333339”, which is the last banknote serial number LN, are taken out from the recycle box 26c to the customer. Return to

[1-4. Withdrawal processing]
Next, a specific processing procedure of the withdrawal process by the automatic teller machine 1 will be described in detail using the flowchart shown in FIG. The depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 10 starts the withdrawal processing procedure RT2 shown in FIG. 10 by reading and executing the withdrawal processing program from the storage unit 13 when the customer performs the withdrawal transaction. The process proceeds to step SP21. In step SP21, when a withdrawal transaction is selected by the customer via the operation display unit 6 and a withdrawal amount is input by the customer, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 recognizes the number of bills required for each denomination according to the requested amount. Then, the counting of the number of withdrawals is started, and the process proceeds to step SP22.

  In step SP22, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 draws out bills from each recycle box 26 according to the number of bills for each denomination according to the requested amount and conveys the bills to the discrimination unit 18, thereby obtaining a discrimination result. Then, the process proceeds to step SP23. In step SP23, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 causes the discrimination unit 18 to identify the serial number of the banknote, obtains the identification result, and proceeds to step SP24.

  In step SP24, the deposit / withdrawal machine control unit 12 determines whether or not the discrimination result is normal. If a positive result is obtained here, this indicates that the banknote is a banknote that can be withdrawn because the discrimination result is normal. At this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP25.

  In step SP25, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 increments the count of the number of withdrawals by 1, and proceeds to step SP26. In step SP26, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 switches the selector (not shown) to the route R3 as shown in FIG. 12, conveys the banknote from the discrimination unit 18 to the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, and proceeds to step SP28.

  On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP24, this indicates that the banknote is a banknote that cannot be withdrawn, and at this time, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 proceeds to step SP27. In step SP27, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 switches the selector (not shown) to the route R4 as shown in FIG. 12, conveys the banknote from the discrimination unit 18 to the temporary storage unit 20, and proceeds to step SP28.

  In step SP28, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 stores the serial number of the banknote conveyed from the recycling box 26 to the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 16 or the temporary storage unit 20 in the cassette storage unit 32 in the recycling box 26 in which the banknote is stored. By deleting from the cassette serial number list Lc, the cassette serial number list Lc is updated, and the process proceeds to step SP29. Specifically, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 sequentially sets “11119”, “111118”, “11117”, “111116”, and “111115” as serial numbers from the state of the cassette serial number list Lc shown in FIG. For example, when the five attached banknotes are fed out from the recycle box 26a, the serial numbers “11119”, “111118”, “11117”, “111116”, and “111115” are deleted in order from the top, and the cassette serial number list Lc Is brought into the state shown in FIG.

  In step SP29, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 sends the identification result of the serial number of the banknote conveyed from the recycle box 26 to the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16 or the temporary storage unit 20, to the main control unit 9, and proceeds to step SP30. The main control unit 9 deletes the serial number acquired from the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 from the line to which the cassette number of the recycle box 26 that has fed out the current banknote is attached in the stored banknote serial number list Li.

  In step SP30, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 determines whether or not the number of withdrawals has reached the number of bills corresponding to the requested amount. If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the number of banknotes corresponding to the requested amount has not yet been accumulated in the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, and the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 at this time is step SP22. Then, the next banknote is fed from the recycle box 26 to the discrimination unit 18. On the other hand, if an affirmative result is obtained in step SP30, this indicates that the number of banknotes corresponding to the requested amount is accumulated in the banknote depositing / dispensing unit 16, and the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 at this time releases the shutter. The banknotes accumulated in the banknote depositing / withdrawing unit 16 are opened and delivered to the user, and the process proceeds to step SP31.

  In step SP31, the depositing / dispensing machine control unit 12 obtains the last banknote serial number LN at the time of the previous transaction, which is the serial number of the banknotes accumulated at the top of the recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28 at the end of the current withdrawal transaction. The final bill at the time of the previous transaction in all the recycle boxes 26 and the deposit boxes 28 in the stored banknote serial number list Li is set, and the process proceeds to step SP32 and the withdrawal processing procedure RT2 is completed.

[1-5. effect]
Conventionally, in the case of an automatic teller machine that does not perform direct deposit, a banknote before deposit is confirmed in a deposit transaction is held in a temporary holding unit, and when the deposit is confirmed, it is transported from the temporary holding unit to a recycle box for storage. The banknote before payment is confirmed can be handled as a banknote on the customer side, not a banknote on the automatic teller machine side.

  On the other hand, in the case of an automatic cash transaction apparatus that performs direct deposit, in order to transport and store banknotes before the deposit is confirmed in the deposit transaction, the banknotes handled by the automated cash transaction apparatus side and those of the customer side are stored. Banknotes to be handled as, will be mixed in the recycle box before payment is confirmed. For this reason, in a conventional automatic cash transaction apparatus that performs direct deposit, if a conveyance failure occurs before the deposit is confirmed, it has become difficult to specify the banknote deposited by the customer in this transaction.

  For this reason, in the case of a conventional automated teller machine, when a conveyance failure occurs, all banknotes inside the automated teller machine are examined carefully, and the height of each recycle box 26 and the safe deposit box 28 before the occurrence of the conveyance failure, It is necessary to compare the amount of money in each recycling box 26 and the safe deposit box 28 after the conveyance failure occurs, and it is necessary to return the banknotes to the customer by the number of the difference. There was a problem that kept me waiting for a long time.

  On the other hand, when the automatic teller machine 1 terminates the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction, the final banknote serial number at the time of the previous transaction, which is the serial number of the banknote accumulated at the highest level in each of the recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28. When LN is set in all the recycle bins 26 and the deposit boxes 28 in the stored banknote number list Li as the storage serial number data, and a conveyance failure occurs in the subsequent deposit transaction, the final banknote serial number LN at the time of the previous transaction Is displayed on the last banknote serial number presentation screen DIP1 during the previous transaction.

  As a result, the bank clerk stores the banknotes accumulated above the banknote with the last banknote serial number LN at the time of the previous transaction in the recycle box 26 or the deposit box 28 before the deposit is made in the current transaction and a conveyance failure occurs. It can be recognized that it is a banknote stored at the time of the current transaction, and the banknote stored at the time of the current transaction can be returned to the customer. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can return the banknote accommodated in the recycle store | warehouse | chamber 26 or the safe deposit box 28 to a customer reliably before conveyance defect generate | occur | produces. Moreover, the automatic teller machine 1 can prevent the correspondence of the employee from becoming complicated, and can prevent the customer from waiting for a long time.

  By the way, the serial number of the banknote before passing through the discrimination section and stored in the recycle store is stored in the first storage unit, and the serial number of the banknote stored in the recycle store is moved from the first storage unit to the second storage unit. It is also possible to return the banknote whose serial number is stored in the first storage unit to the customer when a conveyance failure occurs by deleting it from the first storage unit. However, in that case, the banknote whose serial number has been moved to the second storage unit before the conveyance failure occurs is stored in the recycle box, and is mixed with the banknote whose serial number has been moved to the second storage unit in the previous transaction. Therefore, the banknotes stored in the recycle box in the previous transaction cannot be distinguished from the banknotes stored in the recycle box in the current transaction, and only the banknotes stored in the recycle box in the current transaction It becomes difficult to return it to the customer.

  On the other hand, since the automatic teller machine 1 delimits the serial number data in transaction units and sets and stores the last banknote serial number LN at the time of previous transaction, this time after the last banknote serial number LN at the time of previous transaction. It is possible to recognize the serial number of the banknote stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe deposit box 28 as a stored banknote serial number TN during the current transaction before a conveyance failure occurs in the transaction. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can make a customer return the banknote accommodated in the recycle store | warehouse | chamber 26 or the safe deposit box 28 before conveyance failure generate | occur | produces in this transaction reliably.

  In addition, after the last banknote at the time of the previous transaction, it is possible to monitor the number of banknotes stored in the recycle box 26 and the safe deposit box 28 in the current transaction by the discrimination unit 18 and store it for each recycle box 26 or the safe deposit box 28. In that case, when a conveyance failure occurs and the banknotes collide, there is a possibility that a difference occurs between the number of detected banknotes and the number of banknotes actually stored in the recycle box 26 and the safe 28.

  On the other hand, the automatic teller machine 1 memorize | stores the serial number read from the banknote accommodated in the recycle store 26 and the safe 28 for every recycle store 26 or the safe 28. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can return the banknote itself which the customer thrown in reliably, confirming the banknote serial number TN at the time of this transaction with respect to a bank employee.

  Moreover, the automatic teller machine 1 displays only the last banknote serial number LN at the time of previous transaction of the recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28 extracted from the stored banknote serial number list Li on the final banknote serial number presentation screen DIP1 at the previous transaction. I made it. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 can be made into a simple screen display and can reduce a display area compared with the case where the stored banknote number list Li is displayed on the operation display unit 6 as it is.

  Moreover, the automatic teller machine 1 memorize | stores the cassette serial number list | wrist Lc in the cassette memory | storage part 32 of the recycle box 26. FIG. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 1 is recorded from the cassette serial number list Lc of the cassette storage unit 32 of the recycle store 26 when the recycle store 26 is detached from the automatic teller machine 1 and attached to another automatic teller machine. The number data can be transferred to the device storage unit of another automatic teller machine and stored in the stored banknote number list Li.

  According to the above configuration, the automatic teller machine 1 sequentially receives the bills in the customer service unit 3 that takes in or discharges the bills, the transport unit 24 that transports the bills, the discrimination unit 18 that acquires at least the serial number of the bills, and the bills. A recycle box 26 or a safe deposit box 28 to be stored side by side, a device storage unit 30 for storing serial numbers of banknotes stored in the recycle bin 26 or the safe deposit box 28 in the order in which they are stored, and a customer service unit 3 When the banknotes taken in from the transport unit 24 become poorly transported on the transport unit 24, the banknotes are stored by the customer service unit 3 and the serial number of the banknotes stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe deposit box 28 before the banknotes are captured by the customer service unit 3. A depositing / dispensing machine that is displayed on the operation display unit 6 so as to distinguish and recognize the serial number of the banknote stored in the recycle box 26 or the safe deposit box 28 after taking in and before a conveyance failure occurs. It was to be provided and the control unit 12. Thereby, in the case of direct depositing, the automatic teller machine 1 reliably returns the banknotes deposited in the current transaction already stored in the recycle box 26 and the deposit box 28 when a conveyance failure occurs to the customer. can do.
