The block configuration of the control system of the bribery machine with the next k is as shown in Fig. 5.The arithmetic control circuit 301 that performs the arithmetic and control of the entire system is composed of a mital processor, and has a control program memory. The device 302 is configured to control each part of the device via the arithmetic control circuit 301 according to a program stored in the device. In addition, the banknote identification device 303 identifies the authenticity and denomination of the banknote inserted through the banknote insertion slot 4, and transfers the detection results to the pass line 3.
04 to the arithmetic control circuit 301, as well as taking in and returning banknotes according to control signals from the arithmetic control circuit 301. In response to the control signal, coins to be dispensed as exchange money are dispensed, and a count signal for each dispensed coin is transmitted to the arithmetic control circuit 301. Furthermore, the deposit register 310 stores the number of banknotes identified as genuine by the banknote identification device 303 for each denomination, and also includes a total register 311 that stores the total amount.

This total register 311 is configured to subtract the amount obtained by converting the quantity into a monetary amount each time the quantity of exchange currency is specified using the quantity specification buttons 101 to 118. The exchange register 320 has quantity specification buttons 101~
When the exchange currency quantity by denomination is specified by 118,
In addition to storing this by denomination, the total register 32
1 is a register that stores the total amount of 70 i, and the dispensing output run *mO counts and stores the amount of coins dispensed by the coin dispensing device 305 by denomination, and also counts and stores the total amount. The exchange register 320 is used to compare the currency exchange register 320 for matches by denomination. On the other hand, ;i, the quantity storage register 340 by denomination is composed of registers that store the quantity by denomination corresponding to the quantity specification buttons 101 to 118, and the quantity stored in the quantity register 340 by denomination is This corresponds to Table 1. In addition, the pattern storage register 360 stores exchange patterns A to D corresponding to the pattern exchange keys 2 (21 to 24)K.
The registers 360A to 360D are configured to store the contents of each denomination, and each of these registers 360A to 366D is configured to store the quantity of each denomination, and also has a register that stores the total amount of each denomination. ing. The above-mentioned devices and registers are connected to each other by a path twin 304, so that data and control signals can be transmitted and received.

In such a configuration, its operation will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

First, the pattern change instruction e-switch 3 shown in FIG. 4 is normally in the OFF # position, and the key is kept by a bank clerk or the like. In this state, a user who wishes to exchange money can use the quantity specification keys 101 to 118 to make a normal exchange, or use the pattern exchange key buttons 21 to 21 to specify the quantity.
4 can be used to exchange large amounts of money.

Here, to explain the case of such a noodle chest exchange, when a user inserts a 10,000 yen bill into the bill insertion slot 4, the bill recognition device 303 further determines the authenticity and denomination of the bill, and The discrimination signal is transmitted to the arithmetic control circuit 301 via the pass line 304. Based on this, the arithmetic control circuit 301 sets the register K “1” corresponding to “10,000” in the deposit register 310.
By adding k.

K by total register "10000 J is added and the display 121 K r 10000 J is displayed. Then, when the user presses button 105 of the quantity designation buttons, the arithmetic control circuit 301 recognizes this. button 1015 K Corresponding denomination-specific quantity storage register 340
Then read the data of "5 thousand yen notes" and add this to the cash register of thousand yen notes in the currency exchange register 320, as well as 1.
“50” is displayed in the total register 321 of the exchange register 320.
Add 00 J and further subtract 5000 J from the total register 311 of the deposit register 310.

Next, when the user presses the quantity specification button 104, the arithmetic control circuit 301 reads "1,000 yen bill":p data from the gold-separate quantity storage register 340, and transfers it to the exchange register 320. 1,000 yen", the "total" register, and the total register 311 of the deposit register 310. As a result, "1,000 yen" in the exchange register 320 becomes "6", and the total register 32
1 becomes "6000 J," and the total register 311 of the deposit register 310 becomes "4000." Similarly, when the user presses the quantity designation button 104 three times, the arithmetic control circuit 310 performs the same calculation, and as a result, the "thousand yen" in the exchange register 320 is "9" and the total register 321 is "l". 9000J, the total register 311 of the deposit register 310 becomes r1000J, and these amounts are displayed on the display.

Next, when the user presses the quantity button [10], the arithmetic control circuit 301 reads the data of "1000 yen coins" from the corresponding register of the quantity storage register 340 by gold, and
"10" is added to the "100 x" register of the exchange register 320, "1000 J" is added to the total register 321, and "100" is subtracted from the total register 311 of the deposit register 310. As a result, the exchange register 32
The total register of the deposit register 310 is ``1,000 yen'' of 0 is ``9'', ``100 para'' is ``10'', and the total register 321 is ``10,000''.

311 becomes rOJ. Then, when the user presses the dispense button 120, the coin dispenser 305 is driven, and a thousand yen bill and a hundred yen coin are dispensed. The quantity of each dispensed coin is added to the corresponding denomination register of the dispensing counter 330, and is compared and matched with each denomination register of the corresponding exchange register 320, and a match is detected for each denomination. Then, the withdrawal of that denomination will be stopped. In this way, the exchange of money is completed with K.

Next, exchange using exchange patterns A to D will be explained.

For example, when a user inserts one-touch 10,000 yen bills into the bill insertion slot 4 one after another, the bill recognition device 305 sequentially discriminates these in the same manner as described above and transmits discrimination data to the arithmetic control circuit 301. And calculation control times: 1.

Route 301 recognizes this: Group 1 ¥ Deposit register 310 "
Add 10,000 yen J K rlJ each yte7s, total 1'-1'-1000 OJ each to the total
50,000 J is added and the light emitting element 221 is turned on when 50,000 yen is inserted. When the user presses the pattern exchange key button η, the arithmetic control circuit 301
adds the denomination data (360B) of the pattern storage register 360 corresponding to the pattern exchange key button 2 to the exchange register 320, and the deposit register 310
Subtract more. Here k, pattern exchange key X11,1
4 00 yen bars, 1 50 yen bar, 2 10 yen bars
"Book" and Nazu1. Therefore, the above data is added to each gold 1 separate register of the exchange register 320, and
-[50000J is added to the tall register 321,
The total register 311 of the deposit register 310 is “0”
Then, when the user presses the throw button 120,
In the same manner as the above-mentioned normal money exchange, money is deposited and a negative number comparison is performed.

Next, we will explain how to change the pattern contents on both sides of the pattern.

In the flowchart in Figure 11 and Figure 6, the arithmetic control circuit 3
01 monitors whether the pattern change instruction key switch 3 is in the setting mode (steps 81 to 84,
88), when the bank, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the operator) turns the key switch M'ON#, the arithmetic control circuit 30
1 moves to the pattern set routine (step S2
). In the pattern set routine, the arithmetic control circuit 3
01, the banknote identification is canceled letter II (step 83),
The system enters a waiting state for key personnel (step 9). Next, when the operator presses a button on the pattern exchange keyboard i: shi) 21-%-tsu that requires a change, the arithmetic control circuit 30
1 will discuss this with the cabinet and move to pattern key routine (
Steps 89-812, 817-519). In this pattern key routine, the light emitting element corresponding to the pressed key is made to emit light, and the amount by denomination of the exchange pattern currently set for the key is displayed on the displays 122 to 127, and the process returns to the pattern set routine ( Step 84,
88). When the operator presses the correction button 119 (step 513), the arithmetic control circuit 301 shifts to the correction routine (steps 814 to 816), and registers the pattern storage register corresponding to the pattern exchange key button whose light emitting element is currently emitting light. Clear the 360 settings.

Next, the operator presses a desired one of the quantity detail buttons 101-118. From this K, the arithmetic control circuit 30
Steps 821-82 for transition to denomination key routine.
6) Read the data in the pattern storage register 360 corresponding to the pattern exchange key button that is currently emitting light from the light-emitting element, and read the data in the pattern storage register 360 corresponding to the pattern exchange key button 101"7108 pressed by the operator. :9 data is added (step 822).The arithmetic control circuit 301 then determines whether the addition result does not exceed the maximum number of exchangeable coins predetermined for each denomination.Step 823 ), if the number exceeds the set number, the arithmetic control circuit 301 ends the gold II routine and returns to the pattern set routine without setting the above addition result in the pattern storage register 360 (step 84). , if it does not exceed the set value, then it is determined whether the above addition result does not exceed 100,000 yen or not.Step 824) 1. If it exceeds 100,000 yen, the arithmetic control circuit 301 stores the pattern storage register. Without setting the above addition result to 360, the 114-routine ends and returns to the pattern set routine in the same manner.
If the amount does not exceed 100,000 yen, set the above addition result to the corresponding pattern storage register 360 (step 825).
, the addition results are displayed for each denomination on the displays 122 to 127 (step 526), the denomination key routine is ended, and the process returns to the pattern setting routine.

In the same way, the operator presses the quantity designation buttons, Waka 1 to 118.
Press button I'1l-1 to specify the gold stock quantity, and in accordance with this, the arithmetic control circuit 301 repeatedly executes the denomination key routine.

Further, when the operator finishes specifying the exchange turn for one pattern exchange key button, he presses the button to specify the next pattern exchange key button. As a result, the arithmetic control circuit 301 selects the pattern key routine and executes the current arithmetic operation in the same manner as described above.

Thereafter, in the same manner, the pattern of currency exchange is set for each pattern exchange key button, and when the settings for all pattern exchange key buttons are completed, the operator turns the pattern change instruction key switch 3 ``OFF''. When the arithmetic control circuit 301 recognizes this (step 84), the arithmetic control circuit 301 clears the display and returns k (step 8).
Step 86) Turn off the light emitting elements 211 to 241 corresponding to the pattern exchange key buttons 4 to 24 Step 86) Calculate the total of each pattern storage register and store it in the corresponding total reflector, and end the pattern set routine. (step 87).

As described above, the present invention makes it possible to perform conventional money exchange as well as exchange money using a single exchange pattern, and furthermore, when changing the pattern exchange pattern, the customer operation panel can be used without opening the inside of the device each time. This is convenient because it can be carried out by using a computer, and there is no need to provide a pattern changing keyboard or peripheral device inside the device, which is advantageous from an economic standpoint.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, there are four types of pattern exchange, but this can be provided arbitrarily, and
The contents of the pattern can also be changed arbitrarily. In addition, the pattern exchange key button can be displayed using a lamp or the like, and instead of the button for specifying the quantity by denomination, there is a button for specifying the denomination, a numeric keypad for specifying the quantity, and an invitation capo button such as "10,000" or "100". It can also be applied to a money changer equipped with a
