Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

This invention is used in the financial industry such as banks, and performs deposit and payment transactions.More specifically, the present invention stores deposited cash for deposits in respective storage boxes according to denomination, and performs payment transactions. The present invention relates to a transaction processing device equipped with a circulation depositing and dispensing machine that dispenses and releases cash to be withdrawn from each of the storage boxes described above. Conventional transaction processing devices equipped with circulating deposit and withdrawal machines are unable to continue processing transactions when the cash storage box is full of cash, so they cease operation. The clerk then collected the cash, and the transaction processing device resumed operation after this. For this reason, there are problems in that the operation of the transaction processing device cannot be performed smoothly without the intervention of the clerk, which is inconvenient, and the service to customers deteriorates due to the suspension of transactions. The purpose of this invention is to enable a transaction processing device equipped with a circulating deposit/withdrawal machine to continue its operation even when the cash storage box is full of cash, thereby improving services to customers. shall be.

[not shown] and completes transaction processing according to instructions from the center. Figure 3 shows the deposit and withdrawal mechanism of the Circulation Bushin Cash Dispensing Machine (Treasury). In this example, three types of banknotes are used, for example, 1,000 yen and 5,000 yen.
1000 yen and 10000 yen holes are used and these are AlB and C
Each is represented by . This mechanism has banknote storage boxes for different denominations (
50A) (50B) (50C) and a bulk banknote storage box C30D) are provided. The denomination-specific banknote storage boxes (50A) to C30C) store banknotes for each denomination ANC, and are fixed. - The split banknote storage box (50D) stores banknotes all at once regardless of denomination, is used for replenishing and collecting banknotes, and is detachable. The bulk storage box (50D) is a storage box by denomination (50A) ~ (gOc
) It has a capacity that can store about three times as much banknotes. For convenience, the denomination of the storage box (50I) is referred to as mixed denomination 0. In the following explanation, unless there is a particular problem, these storage boxes (50A) to (50D) ζ, each sensor installed in these storage boxes, the banknote temporary holding section related to each storage box, and the sorting will be described. When describing the flappers all at once, the subscripts (AI) to (B) representing each denomination will be omitted. A banknote temporary storage section (support) is provided above each storage box ω. Although not shown in the drawings, these temporary holding units 1 are provided with a mechanism for sending the temporarily held banknotes into each of the storage boxes corresponding to the banknotes. Further, each of the temporary holding units 1 is provided with a sensor ω that detects the presence or absence of temporarily held banknotes. Inside the denomination storage box ω, there are full sensors 6■),
A semi-full sensor (sub), a semi-remaining sensor (to), a low remaining sensor (to), and an empty sensor (to) are provided. These sensors, the temporary storage unit demand sensor □□□, and the later-described sensor (65) of the input port (4) are all composed of photoelectric sensors. When the number of banknotes in the denomination storage box increases and the sensor 1511 detects a banknote, it is determined that the box is full, and this full state continues until the number of banknotes decreases and the sensor mark does not detect any banknotes. Continue. When the number of banknotes in the storage box by denomination decreases and the sensor (goods) no longer detects the banknotes, it is determined that there is a shortage of banknotes, and this state of remaining banknotes continues until the number of banknotes increases and the sensor balance detects banknotes. Continues until sipped. Full (sensor 61) detects banknotes]
Even so, there is room to store banknotes deposited in at least one deposit transaction. Similarly, even if the balance is low (the sensor (goods) does not detect any banknotes), at least 1
The banknotes to be released in the current payment transaction remain in the storage box ω. The bulk storage box (50D) has a full sensor (51
D) and the remaining sensor (54D) and the empty sensor (55
D) is provided. Further, a banknote feeding mechanism is provided at the bottom of each storage box ω. The mechanism B consists of an eccentric roller (68) that removes the lowest one of the stacked banknotes, an Ml removal roller (66), and a friction roller (67) that presses against this. ] Pay out the bills one by one. The bill slot (4) is also provided with a bill feeding mechanism consisting of an eccentric roller (62), a feeding roller (63), and a friction roller (64). 61], and when 1L of banknotes are inserted, this pressing plate (61) advances and pinches the banknotes between it and the eccentric roller (62), and thereafter, the banknotes are fed out one pair at a time. The dispensed banknotes pass through the carry-in path l1l- and then go to the distribution path (
conveyed to (transfer). A banknote validating device (toward) is provided in the middle of the carry-in path (41). This banknote validating device (to) determines the type and authenticity of banknotes. Three storage paths branch off from the distribution path, leading to a temporary storage section (9) on the storage side for each denomination. A switching flapper (6O
A) to (60C) are provided respectively. These switching flapper transfers are controlled by the result of the banknote type determination by the banknote validating device (to). For example, when a certain bill is determined to be denomination (C) by the device (support), the corresponding flapper (60C) bill is sent to the holding section (57C). The banknotes temporarily held in the holding unit are stored in the storage box ω when the transaction is completed or when the transaction processing for the next customer is started. The distribution path (42 extends towards the banknote discharge port (5) and connects between the discharge paths.The storage path branches from the middle of this discharge path (461), and this storage path (471 is a temporary storage path). A switching flapper (60D) is also arranged at the branch point of the storage path (471).In addition, a recovery path (481) is provided from the discharge port (5) to the temporary storage portion (57D). Among the deposited banknotes, the banknotes that are determined to be not genuine by the validation device (support) are conveyed to the discharge path through the distribution path 1 (from the discharge path (4 [9) to the discharge port (5). ). A feeding path is provided from the feeding mechanism of each storage box ω,
It joins the transport route (goods). The conveyance path (441) merges with the distribution path 142, and a banknote re-discrimination device (to) is installed near this confluence point.In a payment transaction, the banknotes of the amount to be paid are placed in a denomination storage box ( 50A) ~(50
C), one sheet at a time is fed out between the n1 feeding paths and the conveyance path (
The banknotes are then sent to the re-discrimination equipment field, where the authenticity and type of the banknotes are confirmed by re-discrimination, and then sent to the distribution route (
0 and is sent to the outlet (5) via the outlet (5). As a result of the discrimination by the re-discrimination device ■, if there is an abnormality such as the bill is not genuine or the denomination does not match the ordered one, the bill will be sent to the storage box (47) via the sorting path +42).
1 to the temporary storage section (5, 7D), and then stored in the storage box (500). If the payment transaction is canceled after the withdrawal banknotes are sent to the discharge port (51), the banknotes in the discharge port (5) are collected through the collection path (481) to the temporary holding section (57D). In deposit transactions,
When a transaction is canceled after the deposited banknotes have been stored in each of the temporary storage units (57A) to (57C), banknotes equivalent to the deposited banknotes are fed out from the storage boxes (50A) to (50C) and placed in the discharge slot. 15) and then returned. The above loading path (411, distribution path (42), storage path (431)
, conveyance path (goods), unloading path (a1 unloading path), storage path (4
71 and a collection path (both machines are composed of rollers installed at appropriate locations and belts hooked around these rollers). ) and near the banknote dispensing port of each storage box ■, there is a device 2 that detects when two or more banknotes are dispensed in an overlapping state.
A banknote detector and an abnormal length detector for testing the length of the dispensed banknotes are provided. Each conveyance path (41)
~(A banknote notification detector is installed at a suitable location on the way to 481, and the presence or absence of jammed banknotes is determined based on the time required for the banknote to pass between two passage detectors separated by a required interval. Fig. 4 shows the electrical configuration of the Circulation Bushin Dispensing Machine (Corporation).The control device (70) preferably stores a CPU, a ROM storing its program, and various data. The control device (70) includes a RAM.
Each sensor (211f511 ~ information, banknote discrimination device (to),
Abnormality detectors (76
) is inputting a detection or discrimination signal. and,
Based on these input signals and commands from the CPU, the control device (70) operates the slot drive mechanism (71) including the banknote feeding mechanism and shutter of the slot (4), and the discharge slot (5) according to a predetermined procedure. ), a discharge port drive mechanism (72) q including a pinch roller and a shutter, a banknote feeding mechanism (7'3) for each storage box ω, and a transport path (41) to (48).
Fig. 5 shows part of the contents of the RAM (221).The RAM 23 includes an area for storing the deposit amount; An area for storing the number of banknotes of each denomination inserted for deposit, an area for storing the requested payment amount entered manually, and an area for storing the number of banknotes of each denomination to be released to pay the required payment amount. Area to be set, temporary storage section 57 for each storage box ω
1! An area for storing the maximum prescribed number M of banknotes that can be temporarily held and the number of banknotes held in each temporary holding section, the status of the denomination storage boxes (50A) to (50C),
In other words, the areas used as flags plA, FIC, and F4A-F4C to store whether they are full or low, as well as whether or not screen modification is required to display deposit restriction details by CRT +21 are determined for each denomination. An area used as a flag FGANFGC is provided. The flag FIA-F4C is set to 1 when it is full and when it is low. In this invention, when the denomination storage box is full of banknotes, deposits are restricted. Deposit restrictions include deposit denomination restrictions and deposit suspension. Denomination restrictions refer to denomination restrictions in deposit transactions.
4) This restricts the denominations that can be deposited, and deposits of denominations that are full are rejected. For example, if the storage box (50A) is full, deposits using denomination A cannot be made. The denomination restrictions are A, B,
C: This is carried out when one or two of the three denominations is full, and when all denominations are full, deposits are stopped. However, since payment transactions continue,
A payment transaction releases the banknotes in the storage box, and after a while, the storage box is no longer full. Then, you will be able to make deposit transactions again. FIG. 6 shows the overall operation of the transaction processing device. A start switch and an end switch are provided on the internal panel of the transaction processing device (1). When each of these switches is turned on (ST-J (101) (102)), start-up processing and end-of-work processing, which will be described later, are performed. When these processes are completed, the process returns to the start again. When neither start-up nor end-of-work processing is necessary, idle processing is performed. The sensor reading process (step (103)) of the idle process will be described later. After the sensor reading process, the full flags FIA to FIC are checked (step (104)).
. If any one of these full flags is 0, then the remaining flags F4A to F4C are checked (step (105)). Then, only when all of these remaining flags are O, the 1-car indicator light (19
&) (19b) is lit to indicate that deposit and payment transactions are possible (step (106)). Further, the full flags FIA to FIC are sequentially checked (steps (108), (110), and (112)), and if any full flag is set to 1, the corresponding screen modification flags FGA to FCC are set to II. (steps (109), (111), and (113)). For example, when flag FIB is 1, flag FGB is set to 1. After the above processing, a guide to start trading as shown in Fig. 9 is displayed on CR'T +21 (Step (1)
14) ). This screen consists of a guidance display prompting the user to select the desired transaction from the function button number, and a function display indicating withdrawal and deposit using the function button aυα. It is checked whether at least one of the screen modification flags FG is 1 and screen modification is necessary (step (115)). At least one of the flags FGA to FGC is set to 1.
If so, the modified screen power (CRT
Displayed in addition to (2) (step (116)
). Party B's modification screen consists of the sentence ``We are not currently accepting applications'' and the words 1,000 yen bill, 5,000 yen bill, and 10,000 yen hole, which are added to blank spaces 5A-8C of this sentence. In the blank columns 81 to S3, the denomination corresponding to the modification flag set to 1 is displayed. For example, when the flag FGB is 1, the word 5,000 yen bill is added to the blank field SB. In this way, the storage box (5
If one or two of 0A) to (50C) are full, cHT(2) displays that the deposit denomination is restricted. This modification screen is not displayed if the full flag or all flags are 0. The customer sees this display on the CRT +21 and presses the function button Ia.
Select the transaction type by pressing one of the buttons. Then, the full flag and the remaining flag are checked again (steps (118) and (119)), and the full flag FIAN is checked.
If all of the FICs are not 1 (if at least one flag is 0) and all of the remaining balance flags are 0, proceed to transaction processing for the selected payment or deposit (steps (120) (121) ). In step (104) all full flags FIA to FI
If C is 1, the deposit is suspended and the indicator light (19b)
is lit, indicating that deposits are not possible but payment transactions are possible (step (117)).
. After this, although not shown, operation guidance for selecting the transaction type is displayed on the CRT (21), and step (118)
). When the customer chooses to pay (step (122)
)), proceed to the payment transaction process, but when deposit is selected, this selection input is invalid and returns to the start. Preferably, the deposit function of function button Q41 is not displayed. If at least one of the f remaining balance flags is 1 in step (105), only the indicator light (19B) is displayed, indicating that payment is not possible but deposit transactions are possible. . After this, steps (108) to (116)
The process then proceeds from step (118) to step (119). If a deposit transaction is selected by the customer, processing of the transaction proceeds (step (123)). In this case, even if a payment transaction is selected, it is invalidated and the process returns to the start. In this embodiment, the remaining flag F
If any one of 4ANF4C is 1, payments are suspended, but only payments with banknotes of the remaining denomination are stopped, and when all remaining flags become 1, payments are stopped entirely. It can also be made to stop. Also, if YES in step (104) or (105), CR
T+21 may also be displayed to indicate that deposits or payments are not possible. One of the processes performed by the transaction processing device (1) at the beginning and end of a transaction is filling and collecting banknotes. At the start of business, a bulk storage box (50D) filled with banknotes of denominations A, B, and C is set at a pressure f. And, when you go to the start switch, there is a storage box (50D).
) according to the denomination of the banknotes (50A
3~(50C) is transferred inside. This process is performed as follows. First, after confirming that the temporary holding sections (57A) to (57D) and storage boxes (50A) to (50C) are empty, check the banknotes (one by one) in the bulk storage box (50D). The denomination is determined by the re-discrimination device (to) after passing from the dispensing path (c) to the conveying path (tai).The denomination is determined according to the result of this determination. (
The banknotes that have been controlled and determined to be 1 are sent through the distribution path (transfer) and the storage path (431) to the temporary storage section of the storage box of the matching denomination among the denomination storage boxes (50A) to (50C). This operation is repeated, and the feeding of paper banknotes in one temporary storage section is temporarily interrupted, and the banknotes in the temporary storage section that have reached the specified number M are stored in the corresponding storage box for each denomination. Bulk storage box (50D ) will feed out banknotes until there are no more banknotes stored there.Then, the empty sensor (55D)
When the machine detects that there are no more banknotes in the storage box (50D), it stops dispensing. Each temporary holding section (57A) ~ (
The banknotes held in 57C) are stored in each storage box (50A) ~
(50D). If any of the denomination storage boxes (50A) to (50C), for example, the storage box (50A), becomes full before the storage box (50D) becomes empty, the banknotes of denomination A will be stored in the guardian. The rest is sent to the temporary holding section (57D). The banknotes in this temporary storage section (57D) are
Storage box (50D) when storage box (50D) is empty
stored inside. At the end of the day, the banknotes in each denomination storage box (50A) to (50C) are transferred to the collective storage box (50D). When the end of work switch is turned on, the temporary holding section (57A)
If there are temporarily reserved banknotes in ~(57C), these are stored in each storage box (50A)~(50C). Bulk storage box (5
It is checked whether the storage box (50D) is full or not, and if it is already full, the staff removes this storage box (50D) and sets an empty bulk storage box in its place. Store banknotes from each denomination storage box (50A3 to (50C) in a bulk storage box (
If the storage box (50D) becomes full during the process of transferring the data to the storage box (50D), the bulk storage box is replaced in the same way. First, the banknotes in the storage box (50C) are transferred to the storage box (50D). The switching flapper (60D) is switched to block the discharge path (a), the banknote feeding mechanism of the storage box (50C) is driven, and the banknotes of denomination C are transferred to the transport path +441. The sheets are conveyed one by one to the temporary storage section (57D) via the storage path (471).
) When the number of banknotes held in the storage unit 47D reaches a predetermined number M, the banknotes in the holding unit 47D) are stored in the storage box (500). In this feeding, transporting, and storing operation, the storage adjustment is sequentially transferred to the storage box (50D) by the same operation. When all the storage boxes (50A) to C30C) are empty, this process ends. After this, the staff member opened the storage box (50D
) can be removed to recover all banknotes. FIG. 7 shows details of the sensor reading process. In this flow chart, only the processing for the sensor of the storage box (50A) is shown, but the processing for the sensor of one other storage box (50A) is shown.
It goes without saying that 11) is similarly processed for each sensor in B) (50C). First, the remaining sensor (54A)
The output signal -4 of is read (step (131))
, off (if no banknotes are detected, the remaining flag F
4A is set to 1 (step (132)). If the sensor (54A) is on (detecting banknotes), no processing is performed.Next, the full sensor (51A)
) is checked (step (133)), and if it is on, the full flag FIA is set to 1 (step (133)).
34)). These flags F4A-%FIA are stored in the storage box (50A)
When the number of banknotes in the bank increases or decreases, the semi-full sensor (52A) turns off [Step (135)]
And the semi-remaining sensor (53A) is on (stamp (13)
6)), they are each reset to 0 (steps (137) and (138)). FIG. 8 shows the procedure for storing banknotes by the circulation warrior dispensing machine (corporate) in the deposit process. First, it is checked whether all temporary holding units (funds) are empty (step (141)). Since the banknotes in the temporary holding section are stored in the corresponding storage box at the end of a transaction or at the start of the next transaction, an error will be processed if the banknote is not empty. If the temporary holding section is empty, the shutter of the input slot (4) opens and a bill input guide as shown in Figure 9J10 is displayed on the CRT (2) (step (142)).
). At this time as well, steps (108) to (
116), if it is necessary to restrict the deposit denomination, a modification screen indicating this is displayed. When banknotes are inserted, the feeding mechanism of the insertion slot (4) is driven,
Bills are taken in one by one (step (143)). It is checked whether there is an abnormality in taking in, for example, two bills are taken out (step C144), and if the bill is normal, the bill is sent to the discrimination device (to) through the carry-in path. The identification device (to) determines the authenticity and denomination of the banknote. Further, if there is a denomination restriction, it is checked whether the denomination is restricted based on the result of denomination discrimination (step (145)). If the bill is genuine and is not of a restricted denomination, the steps (steps (146) to
(148)), +1 is added to the discrimination number counting counter for each denomination (step (149)) S is sent to the corresponding temporary holding section (5η (step (150)).Then, when the input slot (4) is empty (
Step (151)), if empty, step (143)
) and the same process is repeated. If the input port (4) is empty, the intake is stopped (step (152)).
), ), it is checked whether the import is possible (step (
153) ). Generally, in a transaction processing device, when the loading of banknotes is completed, based on the count value of the counter, the
The amount of banknotes loaded into R7M21 is displayed. Thereafter, when the customer inputs confirmation, the transaction becomes possible in step (153), and the processing for receiving banknotes ends. If the customer inputs a cancellation, a banknote of an amount equal to the accepted amount is dispensed from the denomination storage box, and the banknote is discharged to the discharge port (5). If an abnormality occurs in the taking of the banknote in step (144), or if it is determined that the banknote is not genuine in step C145), or if there is paper* of a denomination that cannot be deposited due to restrictions, the banknote will be sent to the ejection port (5). The banknote is fed and temporarily held (step (154)).Then, the pinch roller of the discharge port (5) is activated, and the banknote is discharged (step (1)).
55) ). After this, if there is a re-injection of banknotes (step (156)), the process returns to step (142), and if there is no re-injection, the process proceeds to step (151). In this embodiment, a full sensor (5
In addition to 1), a semi-full sensor ω is provided, and when the number of banknotes increases and the highest banknote is above the sensor (51), the full flag F1 is set to 1, and after that, the number of banknotes decreases. The flag F1 is reset to 0 when the highest banknote reaches below the sensor, and the level at which the flag Fl is set to 1 and the level at which it is reset to 0 are different. . This prevents the content of deposit restrictions from being changed for each transaction. Full sensor (
If the full flag F1 is set and reset at the level of 511 only, the amount of banknotes will decrease if there is a payment transaction after the full flag F1 is set to 1 to release banknotes in a deposit transaction. Then, the flag F1 will be reset, and the 7-lag F1 will be set and reset for each transaction, and the one-person deposit limit and its cancellation will be repeated. However, the semi-full sensor does not necessarily have to be provided. In addition, in the above embodiment, the bulk storage box (
500) is not used at all, but it can also be used. In other words, storage boxes by denomination (50A) to (5
0C) becomes full, during idle processing, the banknotes are fed out from the full storage box by denomination and collected into the storage box (50D), and the number of banknotes in the storage box by denomination is reduced. do it like this. Then, if the storage box (50D) is still full even after collection, deposit restrictions are imposed. This reduces the number of times or times that deposits are restricted. Further, in the above embodiment, only banknotes are used as the denomination, but the present invention can of course be applied to transaction processing devices that handle coins. Further, the present invention is applicable not only to transaction processing devices operated by customers, but also to so-called counter deposit/withdrawal devices utilized by tellers. Although an indicator light is shown as the transaction mode indicator, it can also be displayed on a CRT or other display device. Furthermore, although the denomination-specific storage box is fixed to the device, it can also be made removable. As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, in a transaction processing device equipped with a circulating deposit/withdrawal machine, when the banknotes in the denomination storage box of the deposit/withdrawal machine become full, the banknotes are At the very least, payment transactions are kept confidential by placing restrictions on deposits, such as denomination restrictions and deposit suspensions. Therefore, a situation where transactions are completely stopped and service to customers deteriorates is avoided. Then, when the number of banknotes in each denomination storage box decreases due to withdrawal transactions, the deposit restriction will be lifted and both deposit and payment transactions will be possible, so even if there is a temporary restriction on deposits, However, it is possible to restore normal status and continue processing transactions without the intervention of staff.
