DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a cash teller machine that processes cash and securities, and a cash dispenser connected to the cash teller machine, for example, in counter operations of financial institutions such as banks. The present invention relates to a cash teller device comprising a counter that counts .

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For counter operations in banks and the like, a teller machine to which a banknote counter and a coin counter are connected is used.

A cash teller machine can be registered by inputting transaction information such as transaction amount, account number, and transaction item.

When inputting the transaction amount, there are two methods: a method in which the amount of cash counted by the operator is inputted by manual means, and a method in which the amount of cash counted by the bill and money counter is read.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining registration operations related to cash transactions. When the operator counts the amount of cash to be transacted, the amount of cash is entered in step m2 using the number keys of the manual means, and the denomination and number of the cash are registered in step m3. For example, if the transacted cash is 20 5,000 yen bills, the number of 5,000 yen bills, 0 denomination, and 2 bills are registered. step m4
Then, the type of transaction item is registered. On the other hand, when using a money and banknote counting machine, in step m1 a reading key provided on the cash teller machine is pressed, and in step m
In step 5, the amount of cash counted by the counter is read by the cash teller machine, and the process proceeds to step m4, where the transaction item type is registered.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, one coin and one banknote counter are connected to such a cash teller machine. Therefore, when counting a large amount of cash at one time, for example, when cash is stored in the drawer of a cash teller machine before starting counter operations, it is difficult to count a large amount of cash at one time. Processing capacity was limited, it took a long time to finish counting all cash amounts, and the operability was poor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cash/coin teller machine that can significantly improve its cash counting and processing capacity.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention connects a cash teller machine and a plurality of cash counting machines, and the cash teller machine has means for selectively reading count information of the plurality of cash counting machines. This is a cash teller device characterized by being equipped with:

Function: In the cash teller device according to the present invention, since a plurality of counters are connected to the cash teller machine, a plurality of counters can be used simultaneously when counting cash, and the cash counting process is You can greatly improve your abilities. In addition, since the cash teller machine is equipped with a means for selectively reading counting information from a plurality of counting machines, the operator can select a desired counting machine from among the plurality of counting machines. It becomes possible to use each counter effectively.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The cash teller machine 30 includes a cash teller machine 1, a plurality of bill counting machines 31, and a plurality of money counting machines 32. Each banknote counter 1 or 31 is connected to the cash teller machine 1 via the common line ρ1, and the banknote counter 32 is connected to any one of the banknote counters 31 via the common line 12.

For example, a half-duplex transmission method is adopted as a data transmission method between the plurality of banknote counters 31 and money counters 32 and the cash teller machine 1.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the cash teller machine 1. The cash teller machine 1 is equipped with a keyboard 2, a display section 3, etc., as well as a window 4 for visually checking the cash receipts and the journal paper, and a slip insertion slot provided for printing slips, etc. 5 etc. are provided.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the cash teller machine l. The cash teller machine 1 is provided with a central control section 10 that controls the entire machine. A random access memory (RAM) 11 and a read only memory (ROM) 12 are connected to the central control unit 10, as well as a clock signal generation circuit 13 and the keyboard 2. Further, a printing device 15 that performs various types of printing, a speaker 16 that generates beeps, etc., the display section 3, and the like are connected to the central control section 10 via an input/output circuit 14.

This cash teller machine 1 uses, for example, an MCR (magnetic card)
reading device, MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) reading device,
Connection terminals 21 to 2 to which external lines with the host computer and the common line 11 of the banknote counting machine 31 are connected.
4 is provided. These connection terminals 21-24 are connected to the central control unit 1o via interfaces 25-28.

The plurality of bill counting machines 31 and money counting machines 32 can each count the number of loaded bills and coins, and are each provided with a totalizer that stores counting information. Each count information stored in these totalizers is sequentially transmitted to the cash teller machine 1 in response to a read command from the cash teller@1.

On the other hand, on the cash teller machine 1 side, each of the counting machines 31.
An individual totalizer is provided for individually storing the counting information transmitted from 32 for each counter, and a totalizer is provided for adding up each piece of counting information stored in these individual totalizers.

When registering transaction information in the cash teller machine 1, the method of inputting the transaction amount is to input the transaction amount using the keyboard 2, and each count tl131.3
There are two methods for reading the count information obtained by 2.

When reading the counting information of the counters 31, 32, the cash teller machine 1 is set to the counter reading mode. At this time, on the cash accounting at side, the plurality of counts fi31.3
You can select your desired counter from among the two.

That is, predetermined numbers are assigned to the counters 31 and 32, and by inputting the corresponding number using the number keys on the keyboard 2, a desired counter can be selected. Further, the keyboard 2 is provided with a read key that is pressed when reading counting information in the counter reading mode.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation. If the counter reading mode is not selected in step n1, the transaction amount is entered using the numeric keys in step n2. In step [13, the denomination of the cash handled, for example, information about 10,000 yen bills is input.

In step n4, the key corresponding to the transaction item is pressed, and the amount input in step n2 is registered in this transaction item.

Once the counter reading mode is set, step n1 proceeds to step n5 where the banknote and coin counter 31.3
The number of the counter desired from among the two is pressed using the numeric key. This selectively sets the counter to be activated. In step n6, the read key is pressed, and thereby the counting information of the counter selected in step n5 is read into the cash teller machine 1. The amount read in this way is registered together with the type of transaction item in step n4.

In this way, in the cash teller device 30, a plurality of banknotes are counted [3
1 and the money counter 32, the desired number of counters can be selected. Therefore, for example, all the connected counting machines can be used simultaneously, thereby significantly improving the cash counting processing capacity and shortening the processing speed. Therefore, when it is necessary to count a large amount of cash at a time, by using all the counters, the operability of counting can be greatly improved. Further, when the amount of cash to be counted is small, for example, one each of the counters 31 and 32 may be used.

In addition, each total is individually read into the cash teller machine 1.

Since a totalizer that adds and stores the numerical information is provided, the operation for adding each count information can be omitted.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since a plurality of counting machines are connected to a cash teller machine, the counting processing capacity can be significantly increased, and the operability thereof can be improved.
