Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sheet processing apparatus for checking for missing serial numbers assigned to articles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, consecutive numbers that are not duplicated in a single unit are printed on an article, for example, a cashable lottery ticket. Since the lottery hit or the distribution channel is specified from this number, this number must be reliable. For example, if a missing number is present in the consecutive numbers and a lottery corresponding to the missing number is a hit, a problem occurs in which the winning lot does not exist.

[0003] Therefore, it is conceivable to inspect the serial numbers printed before releasing such a lottery by an inspection machine. Note that the inspection of the serial number referred to here is an inspection of whether there is no missing number. The lottery that passed this inspection was packaged in, for example, a predetermined number unit of serial number, and a passable label indicating that the inspection passed was attached to this package by a staff member, and the inspection failed. In this case (if it is not a serial number), the rejected sheets are discharged in units of 10 sheets. In other words, if the last digit “5” is missing from the consecutive numbers where the lower one digit is the same, the lower one digit other than the last digit is the same, except for the last digit “5”. Sheets of the digits "0 to 4, 6 to 9" are discharged. That is, in this case, nine lotteries are ejected from the inspection machine as rejected.

In such a case, due to the attendant, the missing lottery, that is, the lottery of the number whose last digit is "5" and other numbers correspond to the plurality of discharged lotteries is reissued. Is done. Then, the plurality of lotteries to which the reissued portion has been added are subjected to the reinspection package processing by the inspection machine.

[0005]

Problems to be solved by the above-mentioned method are the handling of lotteries rejected by the inspection, re-issuance of lottery by attendant, and passed product label by attendant. Is issued.

[0006] In other words, it is too safe to leave a lottery rejected by the inspection to a staff member or to instruct reissue without any management.

Furthermore, if a pass label is applied to a package that has not passed the inspection, an unsuccessful one will be released in the case of a lottery as described above. Maybe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a sheet processing apparatus according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the paper sheet processing apparatus 1 of the present invention includes an inspection device 10 and an information processing device 50 connected via a LAN 70. First, the inspection machine 10 will be described. The inspection machine 10 includes a loading unit 12, an inspection unit 14 as an inspection unit, a dummy article insertion unit, and a dummy article insertion unit 16 as an identification information providing unit that provides identification information to the dummy article, a collecting unit, and a packaging unit. Package unit 18 as a label, label printing / sticking unit 20 as a pass / fail information adding means, label reading unit 22, box package unit 24, rejected product discharging unit 26, inspection machine control unit 2
8 and a communication control unit 30 are provided.

The loading unit 12 receives, for example, a lottery as an article to be inspected, and aligns the loaded lottery and transports the lottery to the inspection unit 14 by transporting means (not shown).

The inspection unit 14 reads and inspects the lottery number printed on the lottery ticket from the ticket. The inspection of the lot number referred to here is an inspection of whether or not there is a missing number. In this inspection, the lottery numbers printed on the lottery are read one after another, and it is checked whether the lottery number of the previously read lottery and the lottery number of the next lottery are continuous.

When the lottery number of the lottery is missing as a result of the inspection by the inspection unit 14, the dummy article insertion unit 16 inserts a dummy paper in place of the lottery number corresponding to the missing lottery number. . That is, lot number 1
When it is found that the lottery with the lottery number 112346 should be present between the lottery with the lottery number 12345 and the lottery with the lottery number 112347, the lottery number 112 between the lottery with the lottery number 112345 and the lottery with the lottery number 112347.
A dummy paper is inserted instead of the lottery of 346.

The dummy article insertion section 16 prints an identification number as identification information on the dummy paper to be inserted, and links to a function of printing the identification number to determine which dummy paper is used and where. Is to be managed. Of course, this also manages the total number of used dummy sheets. For example, “Dummy paper identification number D0001: lottery number 112345-lottery number 1123
47, the total number of dummy papers used: 1 ”. This is because the dummy paper with the identification number D0001 is the lottery number 112112345 and the lottery number 112345.
347, and that the total number of dummy sheets used is one. Such dummy paper management information is output from the dummy article insertion unit 16 and stored in the hard disk 58, and can be displayed on the display unit 52 as needed.

The bag package section 18 packs the tested lottery in predetermined number units, for example, in units of ten. The label printing / sticking unit 20 is a bag package unit 18.
For the package packed in the bag, a passed label indicating that the inspection has passed as shown in FIG. 4 or a reject label indicating that the inspection has failed as shown in FIG. The printed label is attached to the package. Of course, in the label printing / sticking unit 20, the sticking process is performed on the basis of the inspection result by the inspection unit 14 so as to distinguish the acceptable product label from the reject product label.

The label printing / sticking section 20 prints information on the date and time of production of the label and a serial number as identification information on the label to be issued, It manages what package the label is attached to. Of course, this also manages the total number of used labels. For example, “Production number A00
01: lottery number 123450-123559 (inspection passed), ..., serial number A0100: lottery number 124520
-Lot number 124529 (inspection passed), production number B00
01: Lot number 123990 / lot number 123994 /
Dummy paper identification number 0001 / lottery number 123996 to lottery number 123999 (inspection failed) ... serial number B0
007: lottery number 124330 to lottery number 123331
/ Dummy paper identification number 0007 / lottery number 124333-
The labels are managed in such a manner that lottery number 124339 (inspection failed) and total number of used labels: 107. This is because the label with the production number A0001 is the lot number 12345.
That the lottery with the lottery number of 0,123,459 is affixed to the package having passed the inspection in which the lottery with the lottery number of 124520-124529 is stored. Indicates that it is attached. In addition, the label of the production number B0001 is the lottery number 123990 to the lottery number 123994 and the dummy paper identification number 00.
No. 01 dummy sheet and lottery number 123996 to lottery number 123999 are affixed to the package of the inspection failure which has been stored ... serial number B000
The number 7 is from lot number 123330 to lot number 1233
It is shown that the lottery number 31 and the dummy paper with the dummy paper identification number 0007 and the lottery numbers 123333 to 123339 are attached to the package that failed the inspection in which the lottery numbers are stored. Furthermore, it shows that the total number of labels used is 107. Such label management information is output from the label printing / sticking unit 20, stored in the hard disk 58, and can be displayed on the display unit 52 as needed.

The label reading section 22 reads information on a label attached to a package and identifies whether the package is a pass or fail product. The box package unit 24 packs acceptable packages into a predetermined number of units based on the result identified by the label reading unit 22.

The rejected product discharging section 26 is provided with the label reading section 22.
The rejected package is discharged from the inspection machine 10 based on the result identified by. Inspection machine control unit 2
Numeral 8 controls the entire inspection machine 10. In other words, the transport of the above-described units and the lottery between the units is controlled by the inspection machine control unit 28. The transport mechanism for transporting the lottery between the above-described units is omitted.

The communication control unit 30 controls transmission and reception of various information with the information processing device 50. Subsequently, the information processing device 50 will be described. Information processing device 50
A display unit 52, an input unit 54 as an input unit, a printer unit 56, a hard disk 58 as a dummy paper information managing unit and an inspection result information managing unit, a label issuing unit 60 as an issuing unit, and information processing as a managing unit. An equipment control unit 62, a communication control unit 64, and the like are provided.

The display section 52 displays the operation status of the inspection machine, the input items from the input section 54, and the like, and also displays information on rejected products described later. Input unit 54
Accepts inputs such as various instructions to the inspection machine. For example, the input of the name of the staff required at the time of issuing the acceptable product label in response to the staff is performed. Further, input of a display instruction to display various information such as dummy paper management information and label management information on the display unit 52 is also performed.

The printer section 56 prints out the management information of the dummy paper and the management information of the label, as well as a rejected product correspondence instruction described later. The hard disk 58 includes various control programs required for the inspection machine 10 and the information processing device 50, management information of dummy paper transmitted from the dummy article insertion unit 16, management information of label transmitted from the label attaching unit 20, and the like. Is stored.

The label issuing section 60 issues a pass label in response to a staff member. This label issuing unit 60
In order to issue the accepted product label, it is required that the name of the attendant be entered in the attendant name input field of a passed product label issuing screen (not shown) displayed on the display unit 52. When the clerk name is entered in the clerk name input field of the passed label label issuing screen, the passed label is issued by the label issuing section 60. Also, at this time, the input clerk name and the serial number printed on the issued label are linked, and are stored in the hard disk 58 as management information of the accepted product label corresponding to the clerk. The management information of the accepted product label for the attendant stored in the hard disk 58 can be displayed on the display unit 52.

The information processor control section 62 controls the information processor 50 as a whole. That is, the above-described units are controlled by the information processor control unit 62. The communication control unit 64 controls transmission and reception of various types of information with the inspection machine 10.

Next, the operation of the above-described sheet processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the inspection process in the inspection machine, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the process of issuing the acceptable product label by the information processing device.

First, referring to the flowchart of FIG.
The operation of the inspection machine will be described. The lottery is issued by an issuing device (not shown), and the lottery number is printed on the lottery. The lottery numbers printed on the lottery issued by the issuing device are almost certainly continuous numbers, but the possibility of missing numbers cannot be completely denied.

The lottery issued by such an issuing device is inserted into the slot 12 of the inspection machine 1 in the order of the lottery number, and the inspection for the inserted lottery is started. That is, when the lottery is inserted from the slot 12, the entered lottery is accepted (ST10,
YES), the sheets are taken out one by one from the slot 12 and transported to the inspection unit 14 (ST12).

The lottery conveyed to the inspection section 14 is inspected by the inspection section 14 (ST14). Here, the last digit of the lottery number read from the lottery ticket successively conveyed changes in the order of 0, 1, 2,..., 8, 9 and changes to other numbers of digits. It is checked for absence.

As a result of the inspection by the inspection unit 14, when there is an abnormality in the lottery number, that is, when it is determined that the lottery number is missing (ST16, YES), instead of the lottery corresponding to the missing lottery number, Dummy paper is inserted by the dummy article insertion section 16 (ST18). At this time, the identification number is printed on the inserted dummy paper as described above, and the management information of the dummy paper indicating which dummy paper is used where is stored in the hard disk 58. (ST20).

When the number of inspected lotteries inspected by the inspection section 14, including the dummy paper inserted by the dummy article insertion section 16, reaches a predetermined number (ST22, YE
S), bags are packed by the predetermined number of sheets by the bag package section 18 (ST24). As a result of the inspection by the inspection unit 14, even if there is no abnormality in the lottery number (ST16, N
O) When the number of tested lotteries reaches a predetermined number (ST2)
(2, YES), bags are packed by the bag package unit 18 in units of the predetermined number of sheets (ST24).

A pass label or a reject label is attached to the package packed by the bag package section 18 by the label printing / sticking section 20. At this time, the label printing / sticking unit performs the label sticking process on the basis of the inspection result by the inspection unit 14 so as to distinguish between the acceptable product label and the reject product label. That is, when it is determined from the inspection result notified from the inspection unit 14 that the current package has passed the inspection (ST
26, YES), a pass label is attached to the package (ST28). Conversely, when it is found that the package has not passed the inspection (ST2)
6, NO), the reject label is attached to the package (ST30). At this time, the identification number is printed on the label to be attached as described above, and label management information indicating which label has been used and where is stored in the hard disk 58. (ST32).

Thereafter, the label reading unit 22 reads the serial number of the label attached to the package (S).
T34), it is determined whether the package is a pass or a reject based on the serial number. That is, from the label management information stored in the hard disk 58, information on the label of the read serial number is searched (ST36), and the label of the read serial number is attached based on the searched information. It is determined whether the attached package is a pass product or a reject product (ST
38).

The accepted products are packed in a box by the box package section (ST40, YES) (ST42), and the rejected products are sent to the inspection machine 1 by the rejected product discharge section (ST40, NO).
Is discharged to the outside (ST44).

Here, it should be noted that a rejected product is packaged, and a rejected label having a serial number printed thereon is attached to the rejected product. It is a stored point. In other words, although it is a rejected product, the package does not allow the attendant to directly touch the lottery. In addition, since a rejected product label managed by a serial number is attached to the rejected product package, the location of the rejected product package is made clear. This ensures the safety of the rejected product.

Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As described in the flowchart of FIG. 2, when a rejected product occurs (ST50, YES), a rejected product handling instruction as shown in FIG. 6 is issued from the printer unit 56 (ST5).
2). The rejected product instruction is sent to the hard disk 58
Is created and issued based on the label management information stored in the. For example, the rejected product instruction includes the date and time of issuance of the instruction, the serial number of the label attached to the package of the rejected product, the inspection time of the lottery in this package, and the number of the inspection machine that performed the inspection. The number, the cause of rejection, etc. are recorded. Further, when the cause of the rejection is a lack of serial numbers, the dummy paper identification number of the inserted dummy paper is recorded instead of the lottery corresponding to the missing number.

The clerk processes the rejected product based on the rejected product handling instruction. First, a rejected product corresponding to the serial number is searched for from a plurality of rejected items discharged from the inspection machine 1 based on the serial number recorded in the instruction sheet. In addition, a request is made to reissue the lottery in exchange for the dummy paper stored in the rejected package.

The re-issuing of the lottery is carried out by an issuing device (not shown), and this issuing device has a re-issuing function for re-issuing the lottery in exchange for dummy paper. That is, the lottery is re-issued by the re-issuing function on condition that dummy paper is inserted from the dummy paper slot provided in the issuing device. The lottery number of the lottery to be reissued at this time is, of course, the missing number, but details of the lottery number printing process for the lottery at the time of reissuance will be omitted.

It should be noted that dummy paper is required for reissuing the lottery ticket. The dummy paper is completely managed by a dummy paper identification number printed on the dummy paper. In other words, since the lottery re-issuance requires completely managed dummy paper, re-issuance due to fraudulent acts can be prevented.

Further, the lottery reissued as described above is inserted into the lottery of the rejected product this time. The reissued lottery ticket is inserted at the position where the dummy paper was inserted.

The original rejected package from which the cause of the rejected product has been removed in this way needs to have a passed product label indicating that it is a passed product. Here, issuance of the acceptable product label required in such a case will be described. Incidentally, in such a case, a passable product label will be issued by the attendant.

First, an instruction is issued from the input unit 54 to issue a qualified label according to a staff member (ST54, YES). Along with this instruction, a rejected product corresponding input screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 52 (ST56). On this screen, the serial number recorded on the label attached to the rejected product is displayed, and a column for inputting the name of the person in charge corresponding to the serial number is provided.

When the name of the person in charge is input in the column for inputting the name of the person in charge (ST58, YES), the product of the serial number corresponding to the column for inputting the name is changed from a rejected product to a passed product. Is recorded on the hard disk 58 (update of label management information). The input of the name of the person in charge described above is hereinafter referred to as a reject input of a rejected product.

Further, with the release input of the rejected product, a passed product label is issued (ST60). At this time, the product number printed on the issued acceptable product label,
The name of the person in charge entered in the rejection input of the rejected product is linked and stored in the hard disk 58 (update of label management information).

The pass label issued as described above is attached to the package of the original reject. Of course, at this time, since the package of the original rejected product has been opened by removing the dummy paper and inserting the reissued lottery ticket, the package is again re-packaged by the attendant.

The point to be noted here is that the name of the person in charge must be input in order to issue the acceptable product label in response to the person in charge. In other words, the issue of easy-to-use labels is suppressed, even though it is for staff. Thereby, the reliability of the acceptable product label can be maintained.

In the above-described embodiment, the inspection unit 14 has been described as only inspecting for missing lot numbers. However, the inspection unit 14 may perform a print inspection of a defective product.

In other words, the lottery is distinguished into a non-defective product and a non-defective product by the inspection in the inspection unit. In this case, the lottery identified as a defective item is collected by the dummy article insertion unit 16, and a dummy paper is inserted in place of the collected defective item. Of course, the dummy paper management information is managed as if the dummy paper inserted here was inserted instead of the defective product.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the label printing / sticking unit 20 creates (prints) a pass label or a reject label as pass information or reject information, and attaches these labels. As described above, the acceptable product information or the unacceptable product information may be directly printed on the package by the label printing / sticking unit 20. At this time, the content of the passed product information or the rejected product information directly printed includes the content printed on the passed product label or the rejected product label.

Further, in the embodiment described above,
Although the unique information (name of the person in charge) for specifying the person in charge is input from the input unit 54 when the acceptable product label is issued according to the person in charge, a magnetic card or an IC card may be used. .

In this case, the sheet processing apparatus is configured as shown in FIG. The basic configuration of the paper sheet processing apparatus shown in FIG. 8 is the same as that of the paper sheet processing apparatus shown in FIG. The difference is that a card reader / writer 80 for reading data recorded on a magnetic or IC card 90 or recording data on the card 90 is provided. It is assumed that the card 90 records, for example, a password and ID information for specifying a person in charge. The card 90 is loaded into the card reader / writer 80, the password and ID information recorded on the card 90 are read by the card reader / writer 90, and the read password and the input from the input unit 54 by the person in charge. If the password matches, the pass label is issued by the label issuing unit 60. Of course, in this case, since the ID information read from the card 90 is stored in the hard disk 58, it is possible to manage who issued the acceptable label.
