The present invention relates to a money management device that enables operations such as withdrawals from the safe.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, depositors and dispensers have been used in banks and the like in conjunction with teller's machines operated by teller staff. Each depositor and dispenser is equipped with a safe for storing cash deposited by customers and a safe for storing cash necessary for making payments. Then, the teller takes out these safes and withdraws the cash contained therein, or inserts the necessary cash for withdrawal.
(For example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 13401/1983.) [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, as stated in the lower left column of page 4 of the above publication, in order to take out the installed safe, The lock is removed using a key. This locking means is, for example, a cylinder key, and anyone who has the cylinder key can open or close the door, and therefore can take out the safe. If someone other than the teller possesses the key, it becomes possible to take out these safes, which is a problem. Moreover, since anyone with the key can take the safe, there is also the problem that it is impossible to confirm who removed the safe.

Therefore, the present invention improves these problems and
In particular, with the safe of a teller's machine connected to a teller's machine, when the teller inserts the teller card into the card reader of the teller's machine, the safe is unlocked, and at that time, the teller's machine other than the teller's machine - The purpose is to provide a money management device that prohibits operations from the machine.

The scrutiny repayment key 20 corresponds to an input means for inputting an operation command as claimed in the claims, and is used when taking out the safe 7. When pressed, the check deposit key 20 is used to remove money from the safe 7. The detailed data such as how many banknotes of which amount have been deposited is calculated by the scrutiny repayment processing unit 23. In addition, this inspection refund processing unit 23
corresponds to the output means in the claims, and in addition to performing the calculation, it also outputs a control signal.

The deposit processing unit 21 generates control commands for performing various controls for deposit processing, such as driving the belt B of the depositor 1 and operating the counting command unit 25.

The matching circuit 22 corresponds to the matching detecting means in the claims, and the matching circuit 22 corresponds to the matching detecting means in the claims, and the matching circuit 22 allows the teller to input the password of the teller card transmitted from the card reading section 15 and the numeric keypad input section 1.
This is a comparison circuit that compares whether or not the passwords input from 6 match.

The safe open command output unit 24 outputs a release command for rotating the lock lever 8 to release the lock when the safe 7 is taken out.

The counting instruction section 25 outputs a counting instruction that causes the counting processing section 12 to operate to calculate the deposit amount, for example.

The AND circuit 27 corresponds to the inhibiting means in the claims, and controls on/off the release command output from the safe open command output section 24.

The safe processing display unit 29 corresponds to the display means in the claims, and the teller is using the teller's machine 2-
When the safe 7 is being taken out from either the teller's machine 2-1 or the teller's machine 2-1, the display section displays this, for example, when the safe 7 is being taken out from the teller's machine 2-1, This is also displayed on the Terror's Machine 2-0 and transmitted to the Terror's Machine 2-0 side.

The display section 30 during the counting process is Terror's Machine 2-
Display this when counting processing such as deposit processing is being performed from either 0 or 2-1,
This is to notify other tellers machines that depositor 1 is being used.

The identification unit 32 identifies whether the command transmitted from the teller's machine 2-0 or 2-1 is a safe open command for performing withdrawal processing from the safe 7 or a counting command for making a deposit into the depositor 1. If it is a safe open command, it is output to the flip-flop 34, and if it is a count command, it is output to the suction/count processing section 33.

The inhalation/counting processing section 33 receives the counting command transmitted from the counting command section 25 and operates the counting processing section 12 shown in FIG. 1.

is detected, thereby resetting flip-flop 34.

Next, the operation when taking out the safe will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

(1) When a teller takes out the safe 7 from the depository depositor 1, he or she first inserts the teller card he/she has into the card reader section 15. Then, the user inputs his/her own password from the numeric key input section 16 and presses the inspection check key 20 again. The card reading section 15 reads this teller card and transmits the teller confirmation signal indicating that it is a teller's card and the password written on the teller card to the matching circuit 22. When the password entered from the numeric keypad input section 16 matches the password written on the teller card and a teller confirmation signal is transmitted,
The matching circuit 22 generates an output signal to the inspection repayment processing section 23. Then, when a signal is transmitted from the scrutiny redemption key 20 to the inspection redemption processing unit 23, the inspection redemption processing unit 23
A control signal is sent to 4. In this way, a release command is output from the safe open command output unit 24.

(2) The release command is transmitted to the AND circuit 27 via the OR circuit 26. At this time, NOR circuit 2
8 outputs "1", this cancellation command is transmitted to the identification section 32 via the AND circuit 27 and the OR circuit 31. And this identification part 3
2, it is identified as a release command, and at time T ₀ in FIG.
is output, and flip-flop 3 is output at time _T1 .
4 is set and outputs "1". This causes the magnet driver 35 to operate and the magnet 10 to be energized. As a result, the lock lever 8 rotates around the shaft portion, and the lock on the safe 7 is released, so that the safe 7 becomes ready for removal. When the teller takes it out at time _T2 , the safe detection sensor 9 outputs "0".

(3) In (2) above, when the flip-flop 34 is set and outputs "1", this is transmitted to the safe processing display section 29 of the teller's machines 2-0 and 2-1, and each teller's machine 2-
0 and 2-1, it is displayed that the safe 7 is being removed from the depositor 1, and its use is prohibited. Therefore, when this process is being performed from the teller's machine 2-0, it can be known from the other teller's machines 2-1.

(4) Moreover, the output "1" of the flip-flop 34 is input to the NOR circuit 28 of the teller's machines 2-0 and 2-1, and as a result, the NOR circuit 2
8 outputs "0" and turns off the AND circuit 27. Therefore, even if a deposit is processed from another teller's machine 2-1 while the safe 7 is being taken out, the deposit cannot be processed because the AND circuit of its output section is turned off.

(5) When the teller finishes collecting the deposits in the safe 7, for example, and attaches the safe 7 to the depositor 1 again at time _T3 , this is detected by the safe detection sensor 9, and the safe detection sensor 9 outputs a detection signal. This is then amplified by an amplifier 36, and a rising edge of the detection signal is detected by a rising edge detector 37. Thus the time
At _T3 , this rising edge detection signal flips.
It is transmitted to flip-flop 34 and resets flip-flop 34. As a result, the display operation of the safe processing display unit 29 in the teller's machines 2-0 and 2-1 is also stopped, and the NOR circuit 28 also outputs "1", and the AND circuit 27
is turned on again.

In the above description, an example of a depositor has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can of course be implemented in the same manner when payment is made using a dispenser.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the teller's machine checks the password by inserting the teller's card, and if it matches, the safe can be taken out, so there is no need to use a key. Therefore, possession of the key not only solves the problem that arises when accessing the safe;
By using the teller card, the teller who took out the safe is recorded, making it clear who is responsible.

Moreover, according to the present invention, during the safe removal operation,
Since operations cannot be performed not only from the teller's machine that is performing the takeout operation but also from other teller's machines, there is no possibility of an erroneous operation being performed while taking out the safe, unlike in the past. Moreover, it is possible to display on each Terror's Machine that the safe is being removed.

In addition, in the present invention, as described above, when an operation is being performed on the depositor from one teller's machine other than taking out the safe, this is displayed on the other teller's machine, and the same operation as when taking out the safe is displayed. Since it is possible to turn off the AND circuit and prevent operation from the other Terror's Machine, the problem of conventional Terror's Machines being activated by the other Terror's Machine while operating is also improved. will be done.
