BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a system for displaying a remaining amount of a filling material according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram. In the figure, a plurality of automatic transaction devices (hereinafter referred to as “ATM (#n | n = 1, 2,...,
n) ". 1) is connected to a carrier controller 2 and connected to a control terminal 3 for monitoring each ATM 1 via a public network (not shown) from the carrier controller 2 to form a monitoring network.

Each of the carrier controllers 2 has an AT
A carrier 4 as a collective safe for replenishing bills is connected to M1. The carrier 4 performs an operation of replenishing bills into a cassette (not shown) of the target ATM 1 in accordance with an instruction from the control terminal 3. The control terminal 3 includes a processor 5, a memory 6, a floppy disk device 7, a printing unit 8, a disk control unit (hereinafter referred to as "DK control unit") 9, and a disk (hereinafter "DK").
That. ), A keyboard 11, a display unit 12, a speaker 13, and a communication control unit 14.

[0010] The processor 5 controls a filling amount remaining amount display process described later. This control is realized by a program stored in the memory 6. The program may be read from a floppy disk by the floppy disk device 7.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a reading / writing unit that reads / writes data from / to a storage medium other than a floppy disk may be used. The DK control unit 9 controls the DK1
Read / write processing is performed on 0. The DK 10 stores a total capacity of each cassette of the ATM 1 and the carrier 2 to be monitored, which will be described later. Here, this total capacity is
The total number of bills that can be inserted into each cassette is assumed.
The DK 10 stores an image of a cross section of each ATM 1 and each cassette of the carrier 2. This image is for displaying the remaining amount of bills with respect to the total number of bills entering the cassette on the display unit 9 as a graph. The communication control unit 14 is connected to the carrier controller 2 via a public network (not shown).

Next, the remaining amount display procedure will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart, and FIG. 3 is an exemplary view of a display screen. S1: Each ATM 1 and carrier 4 periodically transmit the cash status to the control terminal 3 via the carrier controller 2. When the control terminal 3 receives the cash status via the communication control unit 14, the processor 5 moves the process to S2 to start the remaining amount calculation process for displaying the remaining amount.

S2: The processor 5 starts a remaining amount calculation process. In the balance calculation process, the DK control unit 9 reads the total capacity of the target cassette from the DK 10 and calculates the ratio of the current bill amount to the bill amount when the cassette is fully loaded. For example, first, the number of thousands and thousands of tickets corresponding to the value of the received cash is estimated. The estimated number is set as the current bill amount, the ratio to the bill amount at full loading is calculated, and the process proceeds to S3.

S3: The processor 5 creates an image file by associating the ratio calculated in the above step with the image, stores the image file in the corresponding file in the DK 10 such as the ATM 1, terminates the remaining amount calculation processing, and Wait for processing. S4: Then, when the operator instructs the display of the remaining amount of the target ATM 1 or the like from the keyboard 11 or the like, the processor 5 causes the DK control unit 9 to retrieve the image file, and the display unit 12
Activate the image file above. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the display screen displays the cassettes (1 to 4) on a screen displaying the number of thousands and thousands of tickets for each cassette (1 to 4).
The image of the cassette corresponding to 4) is displayed. In that image, the cross section of each cassette is modeled, and the amount is divided into a thousand and a thousand by a pattern, and is graphed. Here, the pattern a represents a thousand tickets and the pattern b represents a million tickets. The image is an image of a cassette for stacking bad banknotes and the like. This image,
Thereby, the existence of a defective banknote can be grasped. Therefore, the operator can check the target ATM 1 or carrier 4
Of each cassette can be visually grasped.

According to the above embodiment, the operator
