Similarly, by operating the withdrawal mode key of the operation unit 302, the withdrawal process (step S200) described later is executed and the standby state is set. Further, when the bill is collected or replenished in any of the bill storage cassettes of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100, a call signal is transmitted via the antenna 105 of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100, and the money management machine 200 is sent. On the other hand, when the proper management of the banknote is requested, the banknote management process (step S300) described later is executed, and the standby state is entered later. Furthermore, when a banknote jam, failure, etc. occur in the depositing / dispensing machine 100, the machine itself stops as an accident, and the contents of the accident are displayed on the CRT display device 303 of the Terra's machine 300, and when the accident is released, the standby state is resumed. Return to (step S6).

First, the deposit processing of the automatic banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 100 (step S10
The operation of (0) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9. The MPU 150 judges whether or not a bill has been inserted into the insertion slot 101 or 103 (step S101), and the bill is inserted into the insertion slot 101 on the primary side. When inserted, the primary side take-in / return section 152 is turned on (step S102), and when a banknote is inserted into the secondary-side insert slot 103, the secondary-side take-in / return section 153. Is turned on (step S103). Then, the bills inserted into the input port 101 are taken in one by one by the take-in / return unit 152, sent to the identification unit 110 via the conveyance path a → b, and the bills inserted into the input port 103 are taken in. / The return section 153 takes in the sheets one by one and sends them to the identification section 110 via the conveyance paths e → a → b to perform high-level identification of the deposited banknotes (step S104). When a counterfeit note, an unidentifiable note, or a note with an abnormal thickness is identified by the identification unit 110, the conveyance path c → d is regarded as an abnormal bill.
→ e is sent to the pool unit 102A and then returned to the payment return port 102, or is temporarily held in the pool unit 104A via the transfer route c → f and then returned to the payment return port 104 on the teller side (steps S105, S106). ). Then, when the identifying unit 110 determines that the bill is a normal bill, the bill reversing unit 111 aligns the bills and conveys the bills to the conveyance path c → f → g → h, and corresponds to the identified denomination. Deposit buffer memory B1 ~ B4 "+1"
Add (steps S105, S107). Further, the identification unit 110 determines whether or not the inserted bill is a 500-yen bill (step S108), and the 500-yen bill is stored in the reject temporary holding unit 124 from the transport path h (step S110). The bills other than the 500-yen bills are temporarily held in the corresponding temporary holding units 121 to 123 from the transport path h (step S109). Such a deposit taking-in operation is repeated for all the bills inserted into the inserting port 101 or 103, and when the taking-in is completed (step S111), the taking-in / returning unit 152 or 153 corresponding to the bill is taken off ( Step S112). After this, the teller confirms the number of deposits and the amount of money with the customer, and then the operation part 3 of the Terras machine 300.
By operating the deposit key 02, the temporary holding unit 121-1
The bills temporarily held in 24 are collectively stored in the corresponding cassettes 131 to 134 via the taking-in / taking-out unit 154 (steps S113 and S114). Then, the deposit data u1 to u4 of the deposit type added and counted in the deposit buffer memories B1 to B4 are respectively stored in the deposit main memories M1 to M4.
To the main memory M14 to M17 (step S115), and then the deposit buffer memory B1.
~ The contents of B4 are cleared (step S117). If the banknotes held in the temporary holding units 121 to 124 in step S113 are not stored in the cassettes 131 to 134, the temporary holding unit 12
1 to 124 are taken out by hand and collectively taken out to the outside and returned, or automatically conveyed one by one by a separately provided conveying means and returned (step S116). With the above, the deposit process is completed.

Next, referring to the flowchart in FIG. 10, an automatic depositing / dispensing machine
Explaining the withdrawal process of 100, the teller instructs the withdrawal mode key on the operation unit 302 of the tellers machine 300 prior to the operation of the withdrawal process, and inputs the withdrawal amount with the numeric keypad, etc. The bills in the corresponding cassettes 131 to 133 are automatically discriminated and are taken out one by one to the transport path via the take-in / take-out unit 155 and the bill take-out mechanisms 131A to 133A (step S201). Then, the taken-out banknotes are sent to the identification unit 110 via the transport path → k → b to be discriminated low (step S202), and in the case of an abnormal banknote, the transport path c → f.
→ g → i and then directly stored in the rejector cassette 134 (steps S203, 204), the normal banknotes are aligned in the front and back side of the banknote by the front / back reversing unit 111, and later sent to the transport path c.
"+1" in the corresponding memory of withdrawal buffer memory B5-B7
The additional counting is performed (step S205). At this time, withdrawal counting pulses CP1 to CP3 are output, and the corresponding high-main memory M14
Subtraction of "-1" from M16 is performed. And M
The PU 150 determines whether the withdrawal request is the primary side or the secondary side (step S206), and in the case of the primary side request, conveys to the pool section 102A via the conveyance paths c → d → e. (Step S2
07) In the case of a request from the secondary side, it is conveyed to the pool section 104A via the conveyance path c → f (step S208), and the above-mentioned operation is repeated until the input withdrawal amount is reached (step S209). When the withdrawal amount reaches the input withdrawal operation (step S209), the teller looks at the display on the CRT display device 303 and pays.
It is determined whether or not it is OK (step S210), and if it is OK, the pay key of the operation unit 302 is operated to operate the pool unit 1.
The banknotes temporarily held in 02A or 104A are the payment return ports 102
Alternatively, it is transferred to the withdrawal main memory M5 to M7 by transferring to the withdrawal main memory M5 to M7 (step S211), and the additional counting data u5 to u7 of the money type added and counted in the withdrawal buffer memory B5 to B7.
S212), after outputting the banknotes held in the reject temporary holding section 124 to the reject cassette 134 (step S
213), the contents of the buffer memories B5 to B7 are cleared (step S214).

It should be noted that each time one banknote is taken out from the banknote storage cassettes 131 to 133, the withdrawal counting pulse CP1 is sent to the high and main memory M14 to M16.
~ CP3 is input as a subtraction signal, so the data of the number of sheets in the high-main memory M14 to M16 is stored in the storage cassettes 131 to 133.
It always matches the number of sheets stored in. If the payment amount is not OK in step S210, the teller operates the recovery key of the operation unit 302 to cause the pool unit 102A.
Alternatively, the reserved banknotes of 104A are collected (step S215), the buffer memories B5 to B7 are cleared (step S216), it is determined whether or not re-discharging is necessary (step S217), and re-discharging (withdrawal processing). In this case, the process returns to step S201 and the above operation is performed again.

Next, an operation example of the banknote management process (step S300) will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 11 and 12 (A). (B). FIG. 11 shows the automatic banknote deposit / withdrawal machine 100 side. An operation example is shown, and FIGS. 12 (A) and 12 (B) show operation examples on the money management machine 200 side.

First, the operation of the banknote automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 shown in FIG. 11 will be described. The banknote storage cassettes 131 to 134 of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 will be described.
The number of stored banknotes is always detected by the storage state detection sensor 157, and it is necessary to collect the stored banknotes from one of the cassettes 131 to 133 when the number of the stored banknotes becomes “800” or more which is “close to full”. Yes, or when the number of "remaining""200sheets" or less is reached, it is necessary to refill the cassette with bills. Therefore, when such a management request occurs, the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 transmits a call signal for calling the money management machine 200 from the antenna 105 via the MPU 150 and the communication unit 160 (step S301). The operation of the money management machine 200 that receives a call signal and automatically runs will be described later, but the money deposit and withdrawal machine 1 that the money management machine 200 travels and issues a call signal 1
When you stop at the stop mark before 00, the automatic deposit / withdrawal machine 100
Connection parts 108A, 108B and connection parts 202A, 202B of the money management machine 200
And are mechanically connected and fixed (step S302), and it becomes possible to transmit a signal from the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 to the money management machine 200 side via the data output unit 107 and the data input unit 204. Here, the MPU 150 judges from the signal sent whether the automatic depositing / dispensing machine that issued the call signal is issuing a request for collection or a request for replenishment, and if both are requested. Performs the recovery process first, and then the supplement process (step S303). When the collection process is necessary, first, the data output unit 107 outputs a collection start command to the money management machine 200 side (step S30
4) The external discharge unit 159 is turned on (step S305), the banknotes are taken out one by one from the corresponding cassettes 131 to 133 via the take-in / takeout unit 155 and the paper money take-out mechanisms 131A to 133A, and the conveyance path → k → Send to identification unit 110 via b (step S30
6). The identification unit 110 identifies the sent banknotes (step S307), and stores the abnormal banknotes in the reject cassette 134 via the conveyance paths c → f → g → i without performing the front / back reversal (step S308). , S317), for the normal banknotes, the front and back reversing unit 111 aligns the front and back sides of the banknotes, and then the transfer path c → f → g → j, and then the discharge port 140 to the intake port 220 of the management machine 200 connected thereto. Release banknotes (step S3
08, S309). At this time, the withdrawal buffer memory B11 to B13
In addition to the addition and counting of "+1" corresponding to the withdrawal of banknotes, the withdrawal counting pulses CP4 to CP6 are also input to the high-main memory M14 to M16 to be subtracted and counted. The collecting operation is repeated until the standard number of banknotes stored in the cassette reaches 500, and when the number of banknotes stored reaches 500, the removal is completed (step S310). In addition, cassette 13
The number of stored banknotes in 1-133 is determined by the memory data of the corresponding high-main memory M14-M16.
In this way, when taking out for one denomination is completed, it is next judged whether or not a similar collecting operation is required for another denomination (step S311), and when collection for another denomination is necessary. Returning to step S306, the recovery operation similar to that described above is performed. Then, if collection of other denominations is not necessary, the out-of-machine discharging unit 159 is turned off (step S312), and the contents u11 to u13 of the withdrawal buffer memory B11 to B13 are withdrawn withdrawal main memories M11 to M13. (Step S313) and outputs a collection end command to the money management machine 200 side to notify that the bill collection operation is completed (Step S314). After this, MP
The U150 determines whether or not the banknotes need to be replenished for any of the cassettes 131 to 133 (step S315), and when the replenishment is not necessary, the connection between the depositing / dispensing machine 100 and the money management machine 200 is turned off. Then (step S316), the management process ends.

Further, if it is determined in step S303 that the collection process is not necessary and the replenishment process is necessary, the bill replenishment operation is started if it is determined in step S315 that the replenishment is necessary, but in this case, The on-board capture unit 158 is turned on (step S320). Then, the data output unit 107 and the data input unit 2
A replenishment start command is output to the money management machine 200 side through 04 together with the required denomination and the number of coins (step S321).
Demands the replenishment of banknotes of required denominations to 200. Money management machine 200
The banknotes discharged from the side are taken into the depositing / dispensing machine through the intake port 141 and sent to the identifying section 110 via the transport path → k → b to identify the banknotes (step S322), and the abnormal banknotes are transported. It is returned from the outlet 140 to the money management machine 200 via the route c → f → g → j (step S332). In addition, for normal bills, after the front and back of the bills are aligned by the front and back reversing unit 111, the conveyance path c → f
→ g → h, the money is held in the temporary holding section 121-123 of the corresponding money type, and the corresponding deposit buffer memory B8-
The addition count of "+1" is performed on B10 (step S324,
S325). In this case, the number of stored cassettes 131 to 133 is known in the high capacity main memories M14 to M16, and the above replenishing operation is repeated until the number of stored cassettes reaches the standard number of 500 (step S326). And the number of storage 500
When the number of sheets has been taken and the import is completed, it is determined whether the bills of other denominations need to be replenished (step S327), and when the replenishment of other denominations is necessary, Further, the above replenishing operation is repeated.

In-flight take-in section when replenishment for other denominations is not required
158 is turned off (step S328), and the banknotes held in the temporary holding sections 121 to 124 are collectively stored in the banknote storage cassettes 131 to 134 via the take-in / take-out section 154 (step S32).
9). Then, the data u8 to u10 added and counted in the deposit buffer memory B8 to B10 are transferred to the deposit main memory M8 to M10.
And transfer to the high-main memory M14 to M16 (step S33
0), the banknote automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 outputs a replenishment end command to the money management machine 200 to notify that the replenishment operation is completed (step S331). After that, the connection between the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 and the money management machine 200 is turned off, and the management process ends.

Next, the bill management process as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 (A) and (B) for the operation on the currency management machine 200 side,
The money management machine 200 normally stands by at a predetermined position,
When a call signal from any of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 is received via the antenna 201 and the communication unit 270 (step S34
0), first, through the storage state detection sensor 254, it is judged whether there are sufficient banknotes in the storage cassettes 231 to 234 of its own for replenishment or there is room to collect the banknotes (step S341). If not, the alarm unit 255 issues an alarm (step S342). If no call signal is received, it is determined whether there is an accident (step S3
43), in the case of an accident, the alarm unit 255 similarly issues an alarm (step S334). Then, if the bill is not an accident and it is not an accident, the MPU 260 follows the traveling start command from the communication unit 270 to drive wheels via the traveling drive unit 241 of the automatic traveling unit 240.
The money management machine 20 is driven by driving the 242 and determining which of the deposit / withdrawal machines has issued the call signal.
0 starts traveling toward the automatic depositing / dispensing machine that transmitted the call signal (step S345). In this case, the money management machine 200
Detects whether or not there is an obstacle in the traveling direction of the management machine and its floor with the obstacle detection sensors 206, 207 and 209, 210 (step S346), and when the obstacle is detected, stops traveling (step S347). ), Blinks or lights the alarm lamp 211 via the alarm device 263 (step S348). After that, it waits for the alarm to be released, that is, for the obstacle to be removed (step S349), and proceeds to the steering control of step S350 as in the case where there is no obstacle.
In this steering control, the traveling sensor 243 detects the displacement of the guide bands 3, 3A, 3B, ... On the floor, and the steering control unit 24 detects that the displacement is zero.
By controlling the direction of the traveling wheels 242 via 4, the vehicle travels up to the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 that issued the call signal and stops at the position of the stop mark (4A, 4B) provided in front of it (step S351, S352). At this position, the connecting portions 108A and 108B of the automatic bill depositing / dispensing machine 100 and the connecting portion 202 of the money management machine 200 are connected.
Mechanically connect and fix A and 202B (step S353),
Data can be communicated with the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 via the data output unit 107 and the data input unit 204.
Determines whether or not a collection start command or a replenishment start command or both of them is input from the banknote automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 (steps S354, S355).

When the collection start command is input from the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100, the MPU 250 turns on the collecting unit 252 (step S356), and the bill inlet port 220 of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 is received 220. And the low-level identification is performed by the identification unit 221 (step S357). If the result of identification is an abnormal bill, it is conveyed to the reject box 214 via the conveyance path m → n (steps S358, S359), and if it is a normal bill, the identification unit 221.
According to the denomination identified in step m, the bills are stored in the bill storage cassettes 231 to 234 from the conveyance path m (step S360), and the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 10
The collection operation is repeated from 0 until a collection end command is input (step S361). In this case, the collection counting pulses RC1 to RC4 are generated according to the collected banknotes, and the high memory BL1 to BL4.
The rejected banknotes are counted by inputting the reject signal RJ to the high memory BL5. In addition, regarding the storage and removal of the 10,000 yen ticket, in this example, the priority order is higher in the order of the cassettes 231 and 232.

When a collection end command is output from the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 and is input to the money management machine 100, the MPU 250 turns off the collecting unit 252 (step S362) and determines whether a replenishment start command is further input. Yes (step S363). Here, when the replenishment start command is input in step S355 or step S363, the MPU 250 turns on the replenishment unit 253 (step S380), and the banknote ejection is performed according to the denomination and the number set in the memories CB1 to CB3. The banknotes are taken out one by one from the banknote storage cassettes 231 to 234 via the mechanisms 231A to 234A and sent to the conveyance path r, and the conveyance path r identifies the taken out banknotes.
To identify the bill (step S381). Here, if an abnormal bill with skew or abnormal thickness is detected,
It is conveyed to the reject box 214 via the conveyance path s → m → n (steps S382, S386), and in the case of a normal bill, the intake port 141 of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 connected from the discharge port 223 via the conveyance path p. And then send it into the deposit / withdrawal machine 100 (step S383).
Such a bill replenishment operation is repeated until the replenishment / dispensing machine 100 outputs a replenishment end command (step S384), and when the replenishment end command is output from the automatic deposit / withdrawal machine 100, the MPU 25
For 0, the replenishing unit 253 is turned off (step S385), and step S364
Proceed to and turn off the connection between the money management machine 200 and the banknote automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 (step S364).

When the connection with the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 in which bill management is performed in this way is released, the money management machine 200 returns to a predetermined standby position, or advances to the position of another automatic depositing / dispensing machine that issued a call signal. Although similar currency management is performed, in this example, an operation example of returning to a predetermined standby position will be described. When the connection with the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 is released, the money management machine 200 determines whether there is an obstacle, and if there is an obstacle, blinks or lights the alarm lamp 211 (step S365, S366), if there is no obstacle, the vehicle travels as described above (step S3).
70), when there is an obstacle on the traveling path, the traveling is stopped and the alarm lamp 211 blinks or lights up (steps S371, S3).
75, S376). If there is no obstacle, the same steering control as described above is performed (step S37).
2) Run to a predetermined standby position and stop (step S
373, S374).

In the above-described embodiment, the money management machine 200 supplies the drive power of the bill processing unit by the battery in the built-in power supply control unit 245, but after connecting with the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100, the depositing / dispensing machine 100 is connected. You may make it supply electric power from the connector from and use it as a power supply of a banknote processing. In addition, the data output unit 107 of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine 100 and the money management machine.
200 data input sections 204 are connected to respective shutters 109 and 203
Data may be exchanged by providing the shutter inside and opening the shutters 109 and 203. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the currency management machine 200 itself supplies the banknotes to the banknote supplying unit 215.
However, a bill supply / collection device is provided as a separate unit near the cashier, and it moves depending on the cassette storage state of the money management machine 200 to supply and collect bills to this device. Although the banknote storage cassette of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine is also used for depositing / dispensing, individual depositing cassettes for depositing / dispensing may be provided and managed. It is also possible to perform processing by completely different devices such as a depositing machine and an automatic dispensing machine. Although the method of guiding the money management machine 200 has been described by taking an example using an optical sensor, a method using electromagnetic induction (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-231110) is also possible, and a method of detecting three-point positions by radio or light. It is also possible to guide by (for example, JP-A-54-114690), and when a call signal is transmitted from multiple automatic depositing / dispensing machines,
The money management machine may be moved to the automatic depositing / dispensing machine according to a predetermined priority order. Further, by providing a timer function in each of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine and the money management machine, it is possible to automatically replenish the bills before the day's business, or to automatically collect the bills after the store is closed. It will be possible. Furthermore, although the management of banknotes is described in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is also possible to apply to coins, and the collection operation is prioritized for currency management, but the replenishment operation is prioritized. You may do it later.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, the automatic money management machine automatically collects and replenishes money to and from the money transaction device, so that there is no need to bother the teller and the cashier. , Tellers can be dedicated to dealing with customers, and can perform efficient trading operations at tellers. Further, it is not necessary to exchange a large amount of cash between the teller's window and the cashier, and it is not necessary to carry a heavy cash cassette, which reduces the labor for the teller. Further, there is an advantage that it is possible to properly manage the amount of cash accumulated in the money transaction device.
