Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a deposit/withdrawal device that performs deposit/withdrawal transactions by the customer's own operations, and in particular, a deposit/withdrawal device that reuses money deposited by the customer for withdrawal. The present invention relates to a recycle-type deposit/withdrawal device.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, money deposit/withdrawal devices have been installed in business premises, department stores, public buildings, etc. under the control of financial institutions such as banks, and these deposit/withdrawal devices allow customers to deposit and withdraw money by operating the device themselves. Transactions such as deposits (deposits) and withdrawals (withdrawals) can be performed automatically.

In a conventional deposit/withdrawal device of this kind, a deposit machine that automatically processes money deposited by a customer and a withdrawal machine that automatically processes money withdrawn to the customer are configured as separate units. In many cases, these two units are integrated so that they appear as one device, and the currency within the device is managed separately within the two units.

Therefore, in a deposit/withdrawal device in which the depositing machine and the dispensing machine are configured as separate units, each unit includes an identification section for identifying money, a plurality of safes for storing money, and a system for storing money within the unit. It is necessary to be equipped with a conveying means for conveying, which causes the disadvantage that the apparatus becomes larger.

In addition, if the money prepared in advance in the withdrawal machine becomes insufficient due to repeated withdrawal transactions,
Even though there is enough money in the deposit machine, the clerk has to replenish the money, which reduces the efficiency of funds and places an additional burden on the clerk.

Recently, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned inconveniences, reduce the size of the device, and improve the efficiency of fund management, a recycle system has been developed in which the coins deposited by customers are reused as coins for withdrawals. Type-based deposit/withdrawal devices are being put into practical use.

This recirculation type cash deposit/withdrawal device has a deposit outlet for inserting and discharging coins, and an identification unit that determines the authenticity, denomination, fitness, and presence or absence of abnormalities such as double feeding or skew of coins. and a coin storage safe by denomination,
An unfit bill money storage safe, a redirect money storage safe, a printing means for printing on journal paper, etc.;
The depositing machine and the dispensing machine are configured as one unit by being equipped with a display means for displaying various information, etc., and a control means for controlling them.

In such a recycle-type deposit/withdrawal device, the coins inserted into the deposit outlet during a deposit transaction are conveyed one by one to an identification unit, and the identification unit determines that the coins are genuine notes and can be reused for withdrawal. Coins are stored by denomination in money storage safes by denomination, and coins that are genuine notes but are determined not to be reusable for withdrawal are stored in damaged note money storage safes.

In addition, during a withdrawal transaction, the coins dispensed from the denomination-specific coin storage safe are conveyed one by one to the identification unit, and the coins determined to be normal by the identification unit are paid from the deposit/withdrawal port. The coins determined to be present are stored in a reject coin storage safe and collected.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with conventional recycle-type deposit and withdrawal devices,
There are the following problems.

In other words, in a recycle-type deposit/withdrawal device, the sum of the money prepared in advance in the coin storage safe by denomination for withdrawal and the money deposited by the customer minus the money actually withdrawn is the sum of the money deposited by the customer. The amount of cash in the device is the same, but the money deposited by the customer is stored in the denomination-specific money storage safe together with the money prepared in advance in the denomination-specific money storage safe for withdrawals, and is reused for withdrawals. In addition, as mentioned above, the coins deposited in deposit transactions are sorted and stored in the denomination-based coin storage safe and the damaged note coin storage safe according to the determination result of whether or not they can be reused. The coins dispensed from the type money storage safe are sorted into those to be withdrawn to the customer and those to be collected by being stored in the reject money storage safe, depending on the determination result of the presence or absence of an abnormality.

Therefore, by simply counting the number of deposited coins and the number of withdrawn coins, it is not possible to fully grasp the movement status of coins in each safe. Although the efficiency of fund management has improved compared to those equipped with machine units, there was a problem that it was still not sufficient.

For example, how much of the funds prepared in advance for withdrawal preparation will be used, or what is the appropriate amount of withdrawal reserve required for the most efficient operation, is simply a matter of the number of deposited coins and withdrawal coins. This cannot be grasped simply by counting the number of sheets.

In addition, interruptions in the operation of the device due to failures such as coin jams also lead to a decline in fund management efficiency, but such failures may be due to the withdrawal reserves mentioned above or due to the use of deposited coins for withdrawals. It is difficult to tell whether this is due to a change in the amount of money or not, unless we fully understand the movement of money.

The present invention was made in order to solve such problems, and it is possible to manage the movement of money within the device with high precision, to fully understand the money in each safe, and to achieve higher fund management efficiency. The purpose of this is to realize a recycle-type deposit/withdrawal device.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention uses an identification unit to determine the denomination of deposited money and whether it can be reused, and stores the money determined to be reusable in a safe of the corresponding denomination. In the recirculation depositing and dispensing device which takes out these coins from the safe at the time of withdrawal and withdraws the money, a counting means counts the number of coins stored in the safe and the number of coins taken out from the safe by denomination. means for calculating the difference between the number of coins stored in a safe by deposits and the number of coins taken out from the safe by withdrawals for each denomination; If the number of sheets is greater than the number of sheets, the difference is stored as the balance number, and if the former number is less than the number of the latter, the difference is stored as the number of borrowed sheets, and an output that visually outputs the contents of this storage means. and an instruction means for instructing output to the output means.

[Effect]

In the present invention having the above-described configuration, the calculation means calculates based on the counting results of the counting means at the time of deposit and withdrawal transactions, and stores the balance number and borrow number calculated as a result in the storage means, When the instruction means instructs the output means to output through an operation by a staff member, the contents of the storage means are visually output.

Therefore, according to this, it is possible to fully grasp the movement status of money within the device from the output content of the output means, and based on this, it is possible to determine how much of the funds prepared in advance for withdrawal preparation has been used.
Alternatively, it is possible to accurately judge the appropriate amount of withdrawal reserves necessary for the most efficient operation, and in the event of a failure such as a money jam, the money that caused the failure can be transferred to the device. If you have a thorough understanding of the movement of money, you will be able to distinguish whether it is due to withdrawal reserves or the use of deposited coins for withdrawal, so you can manage your funds more efficiently. It becomes possible to do so.

Of course,
As with 10,000-note and 1,000-note banknotes, if you have a dedicated storage safe, you can withdraw 5,000-note banknotes in the same way.

Similarly, les is the number of 1,000-note banknotes deposited in the last (previous) deposit transaction.

y is the total number of banknotes (damaged banknotes) that cannot be used for withdrawal out of the 10,000 banknotes deposited.

Similarly, tsu is the total number of 5,000 notes deposited.
This is when the deposited banknotes of 5,000 yen are not withdrawn.

Similarly, N is the total number of banknotes that cannot be used for withdrawal (damaged banknotes) out of the 1,000 banknotes deposited.

N is the total number of times banknotes are returned to customers in deposit transactions.

From the above-described printed content on the journal paper 46b, it is possible to grasp in detail the movement status of banknotes by transaction and denomination of banknotes deposited and withdrawn in the banknote deposit/dispensing machine 3.

Note that by operating the function key 56 in the same manner as described above, the stored contents of the banknote count storage section 67 are transferred from the main control section 57 to the wording display 51 of the clerk operation panel 4 via the clerk operation panel control section 58 and the driver 60. can be displayed.

Further, although the stored contents of the banknote count number storage section 67 can be taken out in their entirety, it is also possible to take out a portion of the stored contents as needed.

Furthermore, by providing the clerk operation panel 4, the journal printing means 45 for creating the journal paper 46b, etc. in a remote device separate from the main device 1, the banknote count storage section 67 can be used even in a place remote from the main device 1. It becomes possible to retrieve the memory contents of.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a recycling type deposit and withdrawal device including a counting means for counting the number of coins stored in the safe and the number of coins taken out from the safe by denomination, and a counter for counting the number of coins stored in the safe and the number of coins taken out from the safe by denomination. means for calculating the difference between the number of coins collected and the number of coins taken out from a safe by withdrawal, by denomination; A storage means for storing the balance number of sheets and, when the former number is less than the latter number, the difference as a borrow number, and an output means for visually outputting the contents of the storage means; Instructing means for instructing output to the output means is provided to visually output the contents of the storage means as necessary.

Therefore, according to this, it is possible to fully understand the movement status of money within the device from the output content, and based on this, it is possible to determine how much of the funds prepared in advance for withdrawal preparations have been used, or how much money has been used to prepare for withdrawals. You can accurately judge the appropriate amount of withdrawal reserves necessary for efficient operation, and if a problem such as a money jam occurs,
If you have a thorough understanding of the movement of money, you can distinguish whether the money that caused the abnormality was due to the withdrawal reserve of the device or the deposited banknotes were used for withdrawal. The effect is that it becomes possible to manage funds with higher efficiency.

For example, the number of coins by denomination (balance number) obtained by subtracting the total number of coins actually reused from the number of reusable coins, and the actual number of coins among the reusable coins from the total number of withdrawn coins. The number of coins by denomination (number of borrowed coins) after subtracting the total number of coins reused in
By checking this value periodically, you can find out the most efficient withdrawal reserve, and thereby improve the efficiency of managing your funds.

Also, if there is a problem with the currency jam,
By looking at the balance number and borrowed number, it is possible to know whether the coin that caused the problem was one of the deposited coins that was reused for withdrawals or one that was in the withdrawal reserve, so the identification standards should be set accordingly. By taking measures such as this, it is possible to reduce the occurrence rate of failures and reduce the number of stoppages of the recycle deposit/withdrawal device, thereby improving the efficiency of fund management.
