2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional bill processing system will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional banknote processing system includes a banknote depositing / dispensing section body 11, a banknote depositing / discharging section 12, a dispenser discriminating section 13, a deposit discriminating section 14, and an internal stacker 1.
5a, 15b, temporary holding section 16, operation cartridge 17
The operation cartridge 17 has a deposit / withdrawal reject unit 17a, a refill reject unit 17b, a bill storage unit 17c, and a partition bill storage unit 17d.

Next, the operation will be described. First, bills are delivered to and from the customer through the bill inlet / outlet 12.
The banknotes for deposit and withdrawal are normally stacked in the internal stackers 15a and 15b, and the deposited banknotes are stored in the internal stacker through the deposit discriminating unit 14 and the temporary holding unit 16.
On the other hand, the banknotes for withdrawal are conveyed from the internal stacker, pass through the withdrawal discriminating section 13, and are discharged to the banknote inlet / outlet 12. Next, bill replenishment and collection into the bill deposit / withdrawal section is carried out by replenishing / collecting by counting from the bill storage section 17c of the operation cartridge 17. Then, the banknotes that cannot be read due to poor transportation during receipt and receipt of deposits are collected in the deposit / withdrawal reject unit 17a of the operation cartridge 17. In addition, unreadable banknotes due to conveyance failure during replenishment are collected by the replenishment reject unit 17b of the operation cartridge 17. When a reject occurs, the number of internal stackers becomes uncertain, so the billing operation (closing) is performed by collecting all banknotes in the internal stacker.

[0004]

In this conventional banknote deposit / withdrawal method, a banknote collection operation is required to settle the number of internal stackers at the time of billing, and the time for replenishment after collection and attendance of staff are required. There was a problem that there was. In addition, when outsourcing the replenishment / collection of banknotes to an outsourced company, it is not possible to manually count rejected banknotes on the site due to security reasons, so all the collected banknotes are brought home and restocking banknotes are taken separately, resulting in significantly poor financial efficiency. There were challenges.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A banknote processing system for an automatic teller machine according to the present invention includes an internal stacker having a partition plate for counting the number of banknotes in the interior, and replenishing the internal stacker with banknotes.
An operation cartridge for collection is provided, and the operation cartridge also has a partition plate similar to the partition plate. Further, the banknote processing method of the automatic teller machine according to another invention of the present invention is the one described above, in which a partition banknote storage section for partitioning reject banknotes and a partition banknote stored in this partition banknote storage section are provided with information. Is provided with a printing means for printing.

[0006]

In the present invention, since the bill deposit / withdrawal section is accounted for, the operation depending on the number of bill replenishment is not required, and the fund efficiency is improved.
