  Next, the operations performed when the bill depositing / dispensing device 10 of the money depositing / dispensing machine 1 having such a configuration performs the deposit processing and the interrupt dispensing processing of loose bills are described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. This will be described with reference to the paper money transfer paths shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C and the display screen of the operation display unit 302 shown in FIGS.

  In performing the deposit processing of loose banknotes in the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10, an operator inserts one or a plurality of loose banknotes into the input unit 14 in a stacked state, and selects the deposit processing of loose banknotes on the menu screen of the operation display unit 302. Then, the loose banknotes inserted into the insertion unit 14 are fed out of the housing 12 by the feeding unit 16 one by one. The loose banknotes fed into the housing 12 are conveyed to the identification unit 20 by the conveying unit 18, and the denomination, true / false, front / back, fitness, new / old, and old / new / conveyed state of the loose banknote are determined by the identification unit 20. After the identification, the front and back are reversed by the front and back reversing unit 22 so that the front and back are aligned. Thereafter, the loose banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the identification unit 20 are sent to the depositing temporary holding unit 30 by the transport unit 18 and held in the depositing temporary holding unit 30. On the other hand, loose banknotes that are identified as not normal banknotes by the identification unit 20 or loose banknotes that cannot be identified by the identification unit 20 are sent to the loose banknote ejection unit 24 as reject banknotes. When the detection sensor (not shown) detects that a loose bill is present in the loose bill ejection section 24, the shutter 24a provided in the loose bill ejection section 24 is opened. Thus, the operator can take out the rejected bill from the loose bill ejection section 24 and re-insert it into the insertion section 14. FIG. 7 shows a transport route of loose banknotes when the loose banknotes fed into the input unit 14 are fed into the housing 12 and identified by the identification unit 20 and then sent to the deposit temporary holding unit 30 or the loose banknote ejection unit 24. (A). The operation of feeding the loose banknotes inserted into the input unit 14 to the inside of the housing 12 and identifying them by the identification unit 20 and then sending the loose banknotes to the deposit temporary holding unit 30 or the loose banknote output unit 24 is performed by the input unit 14 This process is repeated until all the loose banknotes are sent to the temporary holding unit 30 or the loose banknote ejection unit 24.

  In addition, when a command to start the deposit processing of loose banknotes is given to the control unit 300, a screen for inputting the number of pieces of loose banknotes to be deposited, the total amount, and the like is displayed on the operation display unit 302. Then, all the loose bills inserted into the input unit 14 are fed out to the inside of the housing 12 and sent to the deposit temporary holding unit 30 or the loose banknote ejection unit 24, so that there are no loose banknotes in the input unit 14. At this time, when the operator presses the “Complete” button after inputting the number of denominated banknotes to be deposited and the total amount of money to be deposited on the input screen of the operation display unit 302, the identification unit 20 performs the identification based on the identification result. It is determined whether the number and total amount of loose banknotes by denomination in the counting result of loose banknotes are equal to the number and total amount of loose banknotes by denomination in the result input by the operator through the operation display unit 302. Matched.

  The number and total amount of loose banknotes for each denomination in the counting result of loose banknotes based on the identification result by the identification unit 20 and the number and total amount of each loose banknote for each denomination in the result input by the operator through the operation display unit 302 When the money amounts are equal, the control unit 300 determines the receipt processing of loose banknotes. When the loose banknote deposit process is confirmed, the display screen of the operation display unit 302 returns to the menu screen. Further, when the deposit processing of the loose banknotes is determined, the statement of the deposited loose banknotes is issued by the printing unit 304. In addition, as another example, the number and total amount of the loose banknotes for each denomination in the counting result of the loose banknotes based on the identification result by the identification unit 20 and the loose banknotes in the result input from the operation display unit 302 by the operator. When the number of denominations and the total amount are equal, a screen asking the operator to confirm the payment is displayed on the operation display unit 302, and a screen asking the operator to confirm the payment is displayed on the operation display unit 302. In this case, when the operator gives an instruction to confirm payment to the control unit 300 through the operation display unit 302, the control unit 300 may determine the processing for depositing loose banknotes. In addition, the number and total amount of loose banknotes for each denomination in the counting result of loose banknotes based on the identification result by the identification unit 20, and the number of loose banknotes for each denomination in the result input by the operator through the operation display unit 302 If the total amount is not equal to the total amount, an error message indicating that the count result of the loose banknotes does not match the input result is displayed on the operation display unit 302. In this case, the operator uses the operation display unit 302 to perform any one of “correction of input values”, “return and reinsertion of loose bills”, “additional insertion of loose bills”, and “cancellation of deposit processing”. Can be entered.

  The input of the number of loose banknotes to be deposited for each denomination, the total amount, and the like may be performed at the start of the depositing process. Also in this case, after the completion of the counting processing of the loose banknotes by the identification unit 20, the number and the total amount of the loose banknotes in the counting result of the loose banknotes based on the identification result by the identification unit 20, the operation display unit by the operator. It is checked whether or not the number and the total amount of the loose banknotes for each denomination in the result input at 302 are equal.

  Further, when the control section 300 determines that the loose banknotes have been deposited, the loose banknotes temporarily held in the deposit temporary holding section 30 are fed to the transport section 18 by the banknote feeding / feeding section 30b. Then, the loose banknote fed out from the depositing temporary holding section 30 to the transport section 18 is sent to the identification section 20 so that its denomination and the like are identified. After that, among the loose banknotes identified by the identification unit 20 as bills that can be dispensed in the dispensing process, the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 corresponding to the denomination of the loose banknote is in the near full state or the full state. The loose banknotes that have not been sent are sent by the transport unit 18 to the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 corresponding to the denomination of the loose banknotes, and stored in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34. Note that even if the banknote is a loose banknote that has been identified by the identification unit 20 as a banknote that can be dispensed in the dispensing process, the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 corresponding to the denomination of the loose banknote is in a near full state or a full state. Is sent to the mixed loose banknote storage unit 32 by the transport unit 18 and stored in the mixed loose banknote storage unit 32. In addition, loose banknotes that have been identified by the identification unit 20 as not normal banknotes (for example, loose banknotes that have been identified as transport abnormalities (specifically, double feed, skew, etc.)), and normal banknotes. (For example, unfit bills) that cannot be used for dispensing, and loose banknotes (for example, 2,000-yen bills) of a denomination that does not correspond to each denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 are mixed by the transport unit 18. It is sent to the loose banknote storage section 32 and stored in the mixed loose banknote storage section 32. FIG. 7 shows the transport path of loose banknotes when the loose banknotes fed from such a deposit temporary storage unit 30 are identified by the identification unit 20 and then sent to each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 or the mixed bulk banknote storage unit 32. (B). Then, when all of the loose banknotes are fed out from the deposit temporary storage unit 30 and sent to the mixed loose banknote storage unit 32 or each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, the deposit temporary storage unit 30 moves to each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34. Is completed (corresponding to "storage process" in "claims").

  Further, in the present embodiment, a command related to the dispensing process of the banknote is received by the dispensing process command receiving unit 320 during the distribution process of the loose banknotes as illustrated in FIG. In this way, it is possible to interrupt the dispensing process of the loose banknotes and perform the interrupt dispensing process of the banknotes. The details of such a banknote interruption dispensing process will be described below with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  As described above, when the deposit processing of the loose banknotes is determined, the display screen of the operation display unit 302 returns to the menu screen. When the banknote dispensing process is selected, or when a command related to the dispensing process is sent from the external device 310 such as a higher-level terminal to the money receiving / dispensing machine 1 via the communication interface unit 308, the sorting process is interrupted. An interrupt dispensing process is performed. More specifically, a command related to the dispensing process is input by the operator from the operation display unit 302, or the dispensing process is performed on the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 via the communication interface unit 308 from an external device 310 such as a higher-level terminal. When a command is sent, the dispensing process command receiving means 320 receives a command related to the dispensing process ("YES" in STEP 1). Also, at this time, the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed for each denomination and the total amount are input to the control unit 300, so that the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed for each denomination is determined by the control unit 300. Will be specified by Here, when the total amount of loose bills to be dispensed is input to the control unit 300, the total number of loose bills to be dispensed is automatically calculated so as to be, for example, the minimum number of components. Become.

  When the dispensing process instruction receiving means 320 receives a command related to the dispensing process, the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed for each denomination, and each denominated loose banknote stored in the storage unit 306. The control unit 300 compares the number of pieces of loose banknotes stored in the storage unit 34 for each denomination (amount of money information). Then, in the comparison by the control unit 300, when it is determined that all the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are stored in each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, The number of loose banknotes to be dispensed by the process for each denomination is stored in each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 stored in the storage unit 306 for all denominations to be dispensed. If the number is equal to or less than the number of loose banknotes for each denomination ("YES" in STEP2), the sorting process is interrupted and the interrupt dispensing process is performed (STEP3). Specifically, the dispensing operation of the loose banknotes from the deposit temporary holding unit 30 is stopped, and all the loose banknotes already fed from the deposit temporary storing unit 30 are stored in the mixed loose banknote storage unit 32 or each denominated loose banknote storage. When stored in the unit 34, among the loose banknotes stored in each denominated rose banknote storage unit 34, loose banknotes to be dispensed are fed from the denominated bulk banknote storage unit 34 to the transport unit 18. The fed out banknotes are sent to the identification unit 20 by the transport unit 18, and after the identification unit 20 identifies the denomination, true / false, front / back, damage, new / old, transport status, and the like, the front / back reverse unit 22 Is reversed so that the front and back are aligned. Thereafter, the loose banknotes identified as normal banknotes by the identification unit 20 are sent to the loose banknote ejection unit 24 by the transport unit 18, and are accumulated in the loose banknote ejection unit 24. On the other hand, loose banknotes (for example, loose banknotes with abnormal transport) that have been identified as not normal banknotes by the identification unit 20 are sent to the dispensing reject unit 26 by the transport unit 18 and accumulated in the dispensing reject unit 26. Become like When all of the loose bills to be dispensed are accumulated in the loose bill ejection section 24, the shutter 24a opens, and the operator can take out the loose bill from the loose bill ejection section 24 to the outside of the housing 12. Become like When the dispensing process of loose banknotes is completed, the interrupted sorting process is restarted. In the present embodiment, when the banknote dispensing process is performed, when a command to dispense a band-sealed banknote is given to the control unit 300, the banknotes are fed out from the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 to the transport unit 18. The bundled loose banknotes may be banded by the banding unit 42, and the banded banknotes created by the banding unit 42 may be ejected by the banded banknote ejection unit 48. More specifically, the loose banknotes are fed from the loose banknote storage unit 34 corresponding to the denomination of the band-sealed banknote to be dispensed to the transport unit 18, and are sent to the sorting temporary holding unit 40 by the transport unit 18. Then, every time a predetermined number (for example, 100) of loose banknotes are accumulated in the organizing / temporary holding unit 40, a band-sealed banknote is created by the band-sealing unit 42 from the predetermined number of loose banknotes accumulated in the organizing / temporary holding unit 40. Then, the created banded banknotes are accumulated on the stage 46a of the banded banknote delivery unit 46. Then, when all the banded banknotes to be dispensed are accumulated on the stage 46a of the banded banknote transporting section 46, the shutter 48a opens, and the operator moves the banded banknote from the banded banknote discharging section 48 to the outside of the housing 12. You can take it out. FIG. 7 (c) shows the transport path of the loose banknotes and the banded banknotes when the above-described dispensing processing of the loose banknotes and the banded banknotes is performed. In addition, in this embodiment, although the operation | movement at the time of performing the interruption | payment withdrawal process of loose banknotes is described generally, when the interruption / withdrawal process of a banded banknote is performed, "it is dispensed. The “number of loose banknotes to be paid out” is replaced with “the number of loose banknotes corresponding to the banded banknotes to be dispensed”.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the instruction related to the dispensing process of the banknote is received by the dispensing process instruction receiving unit 320 during the distribution process, the dispensing process is performed by the dispensing process. When all the loose banknotes to be stored are stored in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, the operator who intends to perform the dispensing process by interrupting the sorting process and performing the interrupt dispensing process is performed. Since it is not necessary to wait until the distribution process is completed, the convenience for the operator can be improved.

  On the other hand, when the dispensing process command receiving unit 320 receives a command related to the dispensing process, all of the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are not stored in each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34. In other words, for the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process for each denomination, at least one denomination to be dispensed is stored in the storage unit 306. If the number of loose banknotes of the denomination stored in the unit 34 is larger than the number of banknotes (“NO” in STEP 2), the amount of loose banknotes stored in the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 is insufficient. Since all loose banknotes to be dispensed cannot be dispensed to the outside of the housing 12, a message indicating that dispensing is being prepared as shown in FIG. Nana (STEP4). Further, at this time, the operator can select whether to continue the dispensing process by using the operation display unit 302.

  Specifically, when the “Yes” button is pressed on the screen of the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. 8, it is selected to interrupt the distribution process and perform the dispensing process (“STEP 5”). YES "). In this case, the operation display unit 302 displays a message indicating that the amount of loose banknotes in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 is insufficient as shown in FIG. The operator can select any one of “hand payment” and “cancel” on the operation display unit 302 (STEP 6). Here, when the operator selects “dispensing process” on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP 7), only disposable banknotes of a denomination type are dispensed, and denominated rose banknotes are dispensed. The denominations of the denominations in which the amount of money in the storage unit 34 is insufficient are manually paid (STEP 8). Here, the "hand payment" means that the teller takes out a loose bill by hand from a drawer of a teller's desk, a safe, a cash bus, or the like installed near the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 and hands it to the operator. Say. The operator (or the teller) manually inputs information (specifically, the number and total amount of money for each denomination) of such manually paid loose banknotes through the operation display unit 302, so that the money input / output is performed. The control unit 300 of the money machine 1 manages the information of the loosely-paid bills. When the operator selects “pay by hand” on the operation display unit 302 while the screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP 9), Both the denominated rose banknotes that can be dispensed and the denominated rose banknotes in which the amount of the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 is insufficient (that is, all the rose banknotes to be dispensed) are manually paid. (STEP 10). In this case, too, the operator (or the teller) manually inputs information on the loosely-paid bills by the operation display unit 302, and the control unit 300 of the money depositing / dispensing machine 1 uses the manually-paid loose bills. Information will be managed. Further, when the “Cancel” button is pressed by the operator while the screen as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP 11), the interrupt withdrawal processing is performed. Is canceled, and the interrupted distribution process is resumed. It should be noted that, even when the “Cancel” button is pressed by the operator while the screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the operation display unit 302, the interrupt withdrawal processing is canceled and interrupted. The allocated sorting process is restarted.

  When the “No” button is pressed on the screen of the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. 8, the loose banknote sorting process as shown in FIG. 7B is continued (STEP 21). Withdrawal processing is performed after the minute processing is completed. Here, while the loose banknotes are being distributed, a screen indicating that the distribution processing is being performed as shown in FIG. At this time, the time until the distribution process is completed may be displayed on the operation display unit 302 in real time. The time until the distribution process is completed, which is displayed on the operation display unit 302, is calculated based on the number of loose banknotes held in the payment temporary holding unit 30. Then, when the sorting process of the loose banknotes is completed (“YES” in STEP 22), the number of the loose banknotes to be dispensed for each denomination, and the denominated loose banknotes stored in the storage unit 306. The number of loose banknotes stored in the storage unit 34 for each denomination (that is, the number of loose banknotes originally stored in each denomination loose banknote storage unit 34 for each denomination, and the denomination for each denomination by the sorting process) The controller 300 compares the total number of loose banknotes sent to the banknote storage unit 34 for each denomination. Then, in such a comparison by the control unit 300, when all the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are stored in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, that is, dispensing by the dispensing process. When the number of loose banknotes for each denomination to be dispensed is equal to or less than the number of loose banknotes for each denomination stored in the loose banknote storage unit 34 for each denomination for all denominations to be dispensed. ("YES" in STEP23), the dispensing process is performed continuously after the sorting process of the loose banknotes is completed (STEP24).

  On the other hand, when the sorting process is completed, if all the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are not stored in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, that is, In the case where the number of rose banknotes of each denomination to be dispensed is larger than the number of rose banknotes of the denomination stored in the denomination rose banknote storage unit 34 for at least one denomination to be dispensed, (“NO” in STEP 23), the amount of loose banknotes stored in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 is insufficient, and all the loose banknotes to be dispensed cannot be paid out of the housing 12. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the operation display unit 302 displays a message indicating that the amount of loose banknotes in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 is insufficient, and also displays “dispensing processing”, “hand payment”. "" Interrupt loading processing " The operator of any of the processing of the cancellation, "will be able to be selected by the operation display unit 302 (STEP 25). Here, if the operator selects “dispensing process” on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP 26), only the disposable banknotes of denominations are dispensed, and the denominated rose banknotes are dispensed. Loose banknotes of the denomination in which the amount of money in the storage section 34 is insufficient are manually paid (STEP 27). In this case, the operator manually inputs information (specifically, the number and total amount of money for each denomination) of the loosely-paid bills by using the operation display unit 302 to control the money receiving and dispensing machine 1. The unit 300 manages the information of the loosely-paid bills. When the operator selects “pay by hand” on the operation display unit 302 while the screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP28). Both the denominated rose banknotes that can be dispensed and the denominated rose banknotes in which the amount of the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 is insufficient (that is, all the rose banknotes to be dispensed) are manually paid. (STEP 29). In this case, too, the information of the loosely-paid bills is manually input by the operator through the operation display unit 302 so that the control unit 300 of the money depositing and dispensing machine 1 manages the information of the loosely-paid bills. Become so. Further, if the operator selects “interrupt loading processing” on the operation display unit 302 while the screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP 30). ), The dispensing process is interrupted, and the loose banknotes can be loaded into the loose banknote storage unit 34 by denomination (STEP 31). Specifically, after the dispensing process is interrupted, when the operator inserts the loose banknotes of the denominated denomination into the input unit 14, the loose banknotes input into the input unit 14 After being fed out into the inside 12 and being identified by the identification unit 20, the loose banknotes are stored in the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 corresponding to the denomination of the loose banknotes. Then, when the interrupted loading process of the loose banknotes is completed and all the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are stored in each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, the dispensing process is restarted. Become like When the operator presses the “cancel” button while the screen shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (“YES” in STEP 32), the interrupt withdrawal processing is performed. Is canceled, and the interrupted distribution process is resumed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a message indicating that the dispensing is being prepared as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on operation display unit 302 (STEP 4), the time until the distribution process is completed (ie, , Preparation completion) is displayed on the operation display unit 302 in real time. Thus, when the operator selects whether or not to continue the dispensing process on the operation display unit 302, the operator sets the time until the distribution process displayed on the operation display unit 302 is completed. It can be used as an indicator of whether or not to perform the dispensing process by interrupting the dispensing process. That is, when the time until the distribution process displayed on the operation display unit 302 is completed is relatively long, it is desirable for the operator to interrupt the distribution process and perform the dispensing process. When the time until the distribution process displayed on the display unit 302 is completed is relatively short, there is a possibility that all the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the distribution process will be stored in the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34. Therefore, it is desirable for the operator to perform the sorting process first. The time displayed on the operation display unit 302 until the sorting process is completed is calculated based on the number of loose banknotes held in the deposit temporary holding unit 30.

  In addition, when the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10 of the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 1 according to the present embodiment performs the interrupt pay-out processing, when the pay-out processing command receiving means 320 receives a command related to the pay-out processing. When all the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are not stored in each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 ("NO" in STEP2), the dispensing preparation as shown in FIG. Is displayed on the operation display unit 302, the following processing may be performed. That is, when all of the loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process are not stored in each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34, the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process for each denomination, The number of loose banknotes for each denomination stored in the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 and the total number of loose banknotes for each denomination to be sent to the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 by the sorting process are compared. It may be so. The number of loose banknotes for each denomination to be sent to the denominated loose banknote storage unit 34 by the sorting process is determined by the identification unit 20 when the loose banknote deposit process is performed as shown in FIG. It is managed by the control unit 300 based on the identification result of loose banknotes.

  The number of loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process for each denomination is determined by the number of loose banknotes for each denomination stored in the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 and the denominated loose banknotes by the sorting process. If the number of loose banknotes for each denomination to be sent to the storage unit 34 is equal to or less than the total number of bills, the operation display unit 302 displays a message that payment is being prepared as shown in FIG. After the sorting process, a message indicating that all loose banknotes to be dispensed can be paid out of the housing 12 is displayed on the operation display unit 302. On the other hand, the number of loose banknotes for each denomination to be dispensed by the dispensing process is the number of loose banknotes for each denomination stored in the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 and the loose banknotes for each denomination by the sorting process. If the number is larger than the total number of loose banknotes for each denomination to be sent to the storage unit 34, when the message indicating that the dispensing preparation is being performed as shown in FIG. Also, a message to the effect that all the loose banknotes to be dispensed cannot be paid out of the housing 12 even after the sorting process is performed is displayed on the operation display unit 302. In this case, when it is selected to perform the dispensing process by pressing the “Yes” button on the selection screen of the operation display unit 302 as illustrated in FIG. 8, the selection screen as illustrated in FIG. Is displayed on the operation display unit 302. In such a selection screen, the operator can perform any of the processing of “withdrawal processing”, “hand payment”, “interruption loading”, and “cancel” by using the operation display unit. 302 allows selection.

  Further, while the message indicating that the withdrawal is being prepared as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the operation display unit 302, or the “No” button is pressed on the operation display unit 302 as shown in FIG. Later, even before the sorting process is completed by sending the loose banknotes to the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 by the sorting process, the number of pieces of the denominated banknotes stored in the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 for each denomination is reduced. When the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed exceeds the number of denominations, the sorting process may be interrupted and the dispensing process may be performed.

  Further, when a screen as shown in FIG. 9 or a screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the operation display unit 302, the operator has selected by the operation display unit 302 to perform the “dispensing process”. In this case ("YES" in STEP7, "YES" in STEP26), only denominated rose banknotes that can be dispensed are dispensed, and denominated rose banknotes in which the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 has insufficient money. Instead of being paid by hand, a "pay-out process as much as possible" may be performed. Here, the “dispensing process only for a certain amount” means that all of the loose bills to be dispensed out of the loose bills stored in each denominated loose bill storage unit 34 are paid out of the housing 12, Refers to the process of manually paying only for loose banknotes. In such a “withdrawal process only”, the denominated rose banknote storage unit 34 also includes a denominated rose banknote with a shortage of money. All the stored loose banknotes are paid out of the housing 12.

  Further, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, the bill dispensing process in the bill depositing and dispensing device 10 and the coin dispensing process in the coin depositing and dispensing device 110 can be performed in parallel. Is also good. At this time, when the dispensing process command is received by the dispensing process command receiving unit 320 while the banknote depositing and dispensing device 10 is performing the sorting process of loose banknotes as shown in FIG. 7B. Alternatively, the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 10 may perform the banknote interrupting / paying process, and the coin receiving / paying device 110 may perform the coin-paying process.

  According to the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 (money processing device) and the money processing method by such a money receiving and dispensing machine 1 according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the dispensing process instruction receiving unit 320 performs the dispensing process. Is received from the temporary storage unit (specifically, the payment temporary storage unit 30) to the money storage unit (specifically, each denominated loose banknote storage unit 34). Regardless of whether or not storage processing for transferring loose banknotes (specifically, sorting processing for distributing loose banknotes for each denomination to each denomination loose banknote storage unit 34) is performed, Each component of the banknote depositing / dispensing apparatus 10 so that a dispensing process in which the loose banknotes are fed out from the dispensing unit 34 to the dispensing unit (specifically, the loose banknote dispensing unit 24 or the like) can be performed. Control . In this manner, the withdrawal process can be performed regardless of whether or not the withdrawal process is being performed when the command for the withdrawal process is received. There is no need to wait until the processing is completed, and the convenience for the operator can be improved.

  More specifically, in the conventional money depositing and dispensing machine, when performing the deposit processing of loose bills, the loose bills inserted into the housing by the input unit are temporarily identified by the identification unit and temporarily stored in the temporary holding unit. After all the loose banknotes are inserted into the housing by the input unit and sent to the temporary storage unit, when the operator inputs a deposit confirmation command, the loose banknotes are fed out from the temporary storage unit and Deposit was transferred to the denomination storage unit for each denomination, but during the storage process of transferring loose banknotes for each denomination from the temporary storage unit to the denomination storage unit, the deposit process was performed. The operator or another operator cannot perform the dispensing process of loose banknotes, and the operator who intends to perform the dispensing process of loose banknotes has to wait until the storing process is completed, which is inconvenient. There was a problem. On the other hand, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, the dispensing process can be performed regardless of whether or not the storing process is performed when the command for the dispensing process is received. Such a problem of the conventional money receiving and dispensing machine can be solved.

  Further, in the money receiving and dispensing machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the number of denominated banknotes stored in the denominated denominated banknote storage unit 34 for each denomination is stored in the storage unit 306. The controller 300 determines that the number of loose banknotes to be dispensed by the dispensing process for each denomination when the dispensing process instruction receiving means 320 receives a command related to the dispensing process.
