Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the type of the safes able to be identified and to double as the theft prevention measures. CONSTITUTION:At a safe with an ID code, an ID code 11 printed in correspondence to the control content is provided on the outer surface. A paper money processing unit 2 reads the ID code 11 of the safe with the ID code fitted, by an ID code reading part 43 and outputs it as control information 3. A basic control part 4 stores the fitting and control content of a safe 1 with an ID code by the control information 3, and when the control information 3 is cut off, outputs a first alarm signal to an alarm part 41 and an external informing part 44, generates an alarm sound to the alarm part 41 and sends an abnormal signal to the external informing part 44.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine used in financial institutions and the like, and more particularly to an automatic teller machine that identifies safes and prevents safes from being stolen.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in automatic teller machines used in financial institutions, the denominations of safes have been identified by mechanical switches and electrical means, so there are many types of identification. There wasn't. In addition, the entire safe of the automatic teller machine used in the store was managed by visually checking the numbers and letters written on the safe.

[0003] In addition, as a method to prevent theft of cash in automatic teller machines, vibration sensors, temperature sensors, door opening sensors, etc. are installed in automatic teller machines to detect abnormal conditions and generate an alarm or notify a security company. Ta. Similarly, in booths equipped with automatic teller machines, entry of outsiders was detected using sensors on each door and infrared sensors.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, in conventional automatic teller machines, the identification method for safes is based on mechanical switches and electrical means, so it is not possible to have many types of identification. There was a problem with low reliability. The overall management of automatic teller machines used in stores involved visually confirming the numbers and letters written on the safe, which took time and effort.

[0005] Furthermore, as a method to prevent theft of cash, various sensors (vibration, temperature, door opening) were installed to detect the entry of an outsider into the installation booth, making it impossible to monitor the safe itself.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The automatic teller machine of the present invention has a safe provided with a printed ID code on the outside corresponding to management contents, and reads the ID code of the safe installed and uses it as management information. It has a processing unit that outputs an output, and a control section that stores the installation of the safe and the management content based on the management information, and generates a first alarm signal when the management information is disconnected.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the banknote processing unit of the first embodiment.

In the first embodiment, an ID code-equipped safe 1 is attached with a printed ID code 11 corresponding to the management details of the safe (number, denomination, administrator, etc.). The banknote processing unit 2 has an ID code 11 at the mounting position of each safe.
A sensor 21 is attached to read the information. When the operator inserts the ID-coded safe 1 into the banknote processing unit 2, the ID code 1 read by the sensor 21 is recognized by the ID code reading section 43 and sent as management information 3 to the basic control section 4. The basic control unit 4 analyzes and stores the management information 3 of the ID code, making it possible to identify the safe. Similarly, when the operator pulls out the ID-coded safe 1, the basic control unit 4 is notified of the status. The basic control unit 4 determines whether or not an alarm is generated when the ID-coded safe 1 is removed. The information of the alarm generation permission section A42 is read, and if the alarm generation state is detected, the alarm section 4 is activated.
1 to notify that the ID code-equipped safe 1 has been removed. Further, the information is notified to the security company via the external notification section A44. In addition to this, the basic control section 4 also controls each component of the automatic teller machine.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a side view for explaining the operation of this embodiment.

In a second embodiment, an operator passes through a scanner section 6 when entering the booth 7 from outside. The scanner unit 6 scans the ID affixed to each side of the ID safe 1.
Automatically reads code 11. The read ID code 11 is recognized by the ID code reading section 81 and is notified to the control section 8 as management information. The notified safe management information is stored in the storage unit 82. Based on the stored management information, it is possible to grasp the status of moving in and out of the safe. When the information from the management generation permission section 84 indicates that the alarm generation is permitted, the alarm section 83 generates an alarm, and the security company is automatically notified via the external notification section 85.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention makes it possible to increase the number of types of safes that can be identified by attaching an ID code to the safe installed in the processing unit and providing a function to recognize this information and an alarm function. can. Furthermore, the operational status of the safe can be automatically grasped and managed easily. Furthermore, it is possible to easily monitor the removal of the safe and its movement from the booth when the safe is out of operation, which serves as a theft prevention measure.
