Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a data processing device such as a cash sorting and counting machine that receives, for example, cash input in bulk, that is, banknotes or coins, and automatically sorts and counts them by denomination. .

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, in this type of cash sorting and counting machine, when the sorting and counting process for the cash input in bulk is completed, by pressing the storage key K, the cash is stored in the safe and the sorting and counting results are displayed. A printed journal is now published. However, in such a device, a failure such as a journal outage or a power outage of the device occurs during publication of a journal in which classification and counting results are printed, and if the journal runs out, a new journal is set. The journal is printed after failure 7 occurs,
In the case of a power outage, after the power is restored, the state of the power outage is printed, and then the printout after the power outage is made.

Therefore, in the case where a series of classification and counting results are printed on two journals side by side as in the former case, it is possible to print at the end of the journal before the failure and at the beginning of the journal after recovery from the failure (using another printing device). ) Therefore, the printing of such information makes it possible to commit fraud, which poses a problem in terms of cash management. Also, since the two journals were facing each other, it was inconvenient to have to look at the two journals.

On the other hand, as in the latter case, a message indicating a power-off state is printed in the middle of one series of classification and counting results, making it very difficult to illuminate.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to solve the problem of printing a series of data when printing is interrupted due to a failure such as a power outage of the device or no printing paper in the printing section. Another object of the present invention is to provide a data processing device that can prevent fraud and print data that is very easy to read.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention is capable of printing a series of data from the beginning when printing a series of data is interrupted due to a failure such as power failure of the device or no printing paper in the printing unit, after recovery from one failure. This is what I did.

The printing unit 102 is used to issue a journal in which these are printed. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 100 adds the denomination signals from the detection unit 15 to the contents of the number memories 103, . . . in adders 111, . Number of sheets memo 910B...
・By memorizing the count contents, the count contents are memorized. 9. The output of the sheet number memory 103, . . . is outputted to the storage section 101 via the AND circuit 112, . There is.

Note that the outputs of the sheet number memory 103, . . . are outputted to the display unit 4 as a display signal. The storage unit 10, 19-sheet memory area, etc., are each backed up by a Δ-terry (/4-quag power supply) 113.

(9) The control 8100 converts the operating status of the equipment, such as changes in the equipment status, abnormality occurrence information, and occurrence time, into an error code, and causes the printing unit 102 to issue a journal in which the operating status is printed. Further, the control section 100 includes a mechanism control section 104 that drives the internal mechanism.
Furthermore, the control section 100
When the counting contents of the sheet number memory 103, . The storage unit 101
Pack a la with Tatsuteri 11B! It is something that forces you to do something. Furthermore, the control unit 100 determines failure recovery when the detection signal is no longer supplied from the failure detection unit 105, and then determines a print command from the reset key 25).
, when the status of the failure surface stored in the status storage area in the storage unit 101 determines that the count contents of the sheet number memory 103, . . . are in the middle of printing, the sheet number memory 103, .
The printing unit 102 issues a journal in which all the counted contents of . . . are printed from the beginning.

Next, 1 the operation in such a configuration will be explained. For example, the operator now sets the mode designation switch 21 to "operator mode", inserts the banknotes P into the slot 6 in a standing position with their directions aligned, and then inserts the counting start key 23. Then, the control section 100 drives the mechanism control section 7174 and lights up the counting start key 23.

Accordingly, the bill Pd is conveyed by the detection unit 1syc on the longitudinal conveyance path 9, and the detection unit 15 detects the denomination, authenticity, fitness, etc. of the nine bills Pd being conveyed.

As a result, the banknotes P are sorted into separate temporary stacking sections 111, . t, I
The I control section 100 counts the number of coins for each denomination sorted and accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 111, . . . using the adder 111, .
The number display 4'la to 4J corresponds to the number of sheets counted.
Display it with d. Then, when all the banknotes P input at once are accumulated in the temporary accumulation section 111,...
The control unit 100 stops the mechanism control unit 104, and
The counting start key 25 is turned off. Next, when the user inserts the storage key 24, the control unit 100 lights up the storage key 24, determines the printing command, and drives the mechanism control unit 104 to transfer the cash to the safe 131.
, ... to be stored. Also, at this time, the storage key 24
, the number of coins for each denomination in the number of coins memory 1o3, . Accordingly, the control unit 100 counts the total amount, total number of coins, etc., stores the counting result and the number of coins for each denomination in the cumulative storage area of the storage unit 101, and prints it on the journal in the printing unit 102. urge

However, while the printing unit 102 is printing, a failure such as a power outage or no journal occurs.
When the failure is detected by the failure detection unit 105,
A detection signal is output. Then, the control unit 100 determines a failure based on the detection signal, and stores the status at this time, such as the denomination and number of sheets being printed by the printing unit 102, in the status storage area in the storage unit 101. to be memorized. At this time, the O storage section 101 such as the sheet number memory 103 . . . is powered up by the battery 113. When a failure such as a power failure or no journal is recovered, a detection signal is no longer output from the failure detector leg. Then, the control unit 100 determines that the failure has been recovered and turns on the reset key 24. As a result, the operator inserts the reset key 24. Then, control section 1
00 judges the printing command based on the signal from the reset key 24, and sequentially outputs the status before the occurrence of the failure from the status storage area of the storage unit 101, and the status is stored in a series of banknotes P.
When it is determined that the printing unit 102 is in the process of printing the stored data of each denomination, the printing unit 101 reads the contents of the number memory 103, .

In this way, in the event that a failure occurs during the issuance (printing) of a storage journal during the collection of cash that has been inserted in bulk, such as the device's power being cut off or the journal runs out, the counting contents will be retained and the system will be able to store it when the problem is cleared. , all counts are printed from the beginning. This makes it impossible to perform unauthorized printing, and it also becomes easier to read.

It should be noted that the same operation as described above also occurs when coins C are used as cash.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, according to the present invention, when printing a series of data, it is possible to prevent fraud in the 9 cases in which printing is interrupted due to a failure such as a power outage or no printing paper in the printing unit, and furthermore, It is possible to provide a data processing device that can print characters that are very easy to read.
