A third flowchart of the operation of the present embodiment
This will be described with reference to FIGS. The control program reads out the screen definition from the table storage area 9a, causes the display keyboard 8a to display the transaction content selection screen as shown in FIG. 5, and prompts the user to display the display keyboard 8
The desired transaction content is input from a (S1). On the same screen, when "service for celebration bag etc." is selected, the control program reads out the bag selection screen definition object stored in the table storage area 9a as shown in FIG. 6 and displays it on the display keyboard 8a. .

When the user presses a panel other than "unnecessary",
The control program stores the type of bag input from the display keyboard 8a and the price of the bag input from a screen not shown in a bag buffer as shown in FIG. 7 secured in the buffer area 9b. As shown in FIG. 7, in the first half of the bag buffer, "00" is a cash bag and "0" is a cash bag.
"1" represents a bag type such as a festive bag, and the latter half part indicates whether or not the bag in the ATM is used and the price of the selected bag. For example, although not shown, if a "200 yen celebration bag" is input, the contents of the bag buffer will be
It becomes “0110”. On the other hand, in the screen of FIG.
When "unnecessary" is input, the latter half of the bag buffer in FIG. 7 becomes "00" indicating that the bag in the ATM is not used.

The control program determines whether the latter half of the bag buffer is "00" (S2). The content is "0
In the case of "0", the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen requesting input of the bag brought by the user from the bag input / output port 8c (S3). When it is detected that the bag brought by the user has been input to the bag input / output port 8c, the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen asking about the type of bag that has been input. The control program stores the inputted bag type in the first half of the bag buffer shown in FIG. For example,
Although not shown, when “celebration” is input as the bag type, the contents of the bag buffer are “0100” in this case.

The control program refers to the first half portion of the bag buffer (S4), and the first half portion indicates "0" indicating a cash bag.
If it is "0", a screen for selecting the type of cash, in this example, a new ticket or an old ticket is displayed on the display keyboard 8a (S5), and a screen for selecting the type of cash bag as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. (S6). The control program stores the type of cash bag input from the display keyboard 8a in the cash buffer (FIG. 8) in the buffer area 9b. As shown in FIG. 8, if the input is “new ticket”, the cash buffer is “1”, and if the input is “old ticket”, the cash buffer is “0”.

Next, the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen for instructing the insertion of the cash card from the card insertion slot 8b, as in the normal transaction processing. When the control program detects that a card has been inserted into the card insertion slot 8b, the control program reads the account number stored in the magnetic tape portion of the cash card and stores it in an account buffer (not shown) in the buffer area 9b. Next, the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen requesting input of the user's ID number and transaction amount, and stores the input value in the account buffer. The control program causes the modem 6 to transmit the account number, ID number, and transaction amount in the account buffer to the modem 3.

The host-side CPU 2 reads the account information stored in the account file 4 from the received account number under the control of a host-side control program (not shown), and performs principal confirmation processing and payment approval / disapproval processing (S7). . As a result, when it is determined that the transaction is possible, the CPU 2 transmits that fact to the modem 6 from the modem 3. On the other hand, when the first half (bag type) of the bag buffer is other than “00” (cash bag), the control program causes the storage control unit (not shown) to take out the bag specified by the bag buffer from the bag storage 12. Then, a control signal is sent to a transport unit (not shown) to send the bag to the printing unit 10 (S8).

Next, the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen for selecting whether to withdraw or exchange cash (S9). When the exchange process is selected, the control program displays the display keyboard 8a.
Displays a screen requesting cash input to the cash input / output port 8d (S10). When detecting that the cash has been input, the control program causes the bill counting unit (not shown) to count the amount of the cash. The control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen requesting the input of the name and the ID number. On the other hand, when the withdrawal process is selected, the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen for instructing to input the cash card from the card insertion slot 8b, as in the normal transaction process. When the control program detects that a card has been input into the card insertion slot 8b, it causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen requesting the input of user identification information and the transaction amount.
The control program sends the account number read from the inputted cash card, the inputted ID number, the transaction amount and the price of the bag (the latter half of the bag buffer) from the modem 6 to the modem 3.

Under the control of a control program (not shown) on the host side, the CPU 2 reads out the account information stored in the account file 4 from the received account number, and performs principal confirmation processing and payment approval / disapproval processing (S12). As a result, when it is determined that the transaction is possible, the CPU 2 causes the modem 3 to transmit the fact and the name of the user included in the account information to the modem 6 (S13). The control program stores the received user name in an appropriate buffer (not shown).

Next, the control program on the ATM side causes the display keyboard 8a to display a screen asking whether to receive a service for printing the corporate name or the like on the bag. When it is input that the service will be received, the control program
A print flag (not shown) such as a corporate name secured in the buffer area 9b is set to "1". When the flag is set, the control program causes the display keyboard 8a to display the keyboard (S14) and prompts for input of the corporation name and the like (S15).

The control program is temporarily stored in the buffer area 9b.
The entered corporation name and the like are stored in. The control program incorporates the corporation name and the like, together with the name of the user and the type of bag already stored in the buffer, into the print format stored in advance in the table storage area, and sends it to the print unit 10. The printing unit 10 prints the characters incorporated in the print format specified from the first half of the bag buffer on the bag that has already been sent to the printing unit 10 (S16 to S19). For example, although not shown, when the bag type is “01 (celebration)”, the characters incorporated in the print format are “celebration”, “life”, and the like.

On the other hand, when the corporate name printing flag is not set, the control program incorporates the user name and bag type already stored in the buffer into the print format stored in the table storage area. , Printing unit 10
Send to The printing unit 10 prints the characters incorporated in the printing format on the bag that has already been sent to the printing unit 10 (S17 to S19).

The control program refers to a table (FIG. 9) showing the relationship between bags and cash stored in the table storage area 9a in advance, and is determined by the type of bag in the first half of the bag buffer and should be output. Select the cash type (S
20). Specifically, the first half of the bag buffer is "01
In the case of (celebration), "1 (new ticket)" is replaced with "1"
In the case of "0 (Gobutsu-mae)", "0 (old ticket)" is stored in the cash buffer, and when the part is "11 (Goryo-mae)", "0 (old ticket)" is stored in the cash buffer.

When the cash buffer is "1 (new ticket)", the control program causes the storage control unit (not shown) to take out the cash equivalent to the transaction amount from the storage of the new storage in the cash storage 11. On the other hand, the cash buffer is "0 (old ticket)"
In this case, the control program causes the storage control unit (not shown) to take out the cash equivalent to the transaction amount from the storage of the old ticket in the cash storage 11. The control program sends a control signal to the transport section (not shown) so that the cash taken out as described above is sent to the cash input / output port 8d. At the same time, the control program sends a control signal to the printing means to send the printed bag to the bag input / output port 8c. The ATM separately outputs the bag from the bag input / output port and the cash from the cash input / output port (S21).

Here, as the embodiment, the associating means for associating bills with cash has been described as a table, but the association may be made by a program. In addition, although the storage locations of the cash storage are physically divided according to the type of cash, when storing cash without distinguishing the type of cash and outputting new tickets, the banknote press provided in the ATM A new ticket may be output by passing through the mechanism. In this embodiment, since the service of the ceremonial occasion is assumed, the types of cash are limited to the new ticket and the old ticket, but coins and other types may be added thereto. In fact, when using large bags, it is often the case that coins are enclosed. Further, as another embodiment, a mechanism for enclosing cash in a bag may be provided in the ATM 5, and cash may be enclosed in the bag for output when outputting. Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention has been described separately from the conventional transaction processing such as “withdrawal”. The invention may be implemented as a part.
