DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in a cash circulation type automatic transaction device that can use deposited cash as cash for withdrawal.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

In recent years, the automation of counters at financial institutions has progressed rapidly due to the spread of automatic transaction devices such as automatic deposit machines and cash dispensers.
Every store now has multiple automatic transaction machines installed. In such a situation, although convenience for users improves, the staff will have to load cash into each machine many times, which increases the staff's time and effort. The amount of cash being used has become so large that it has become impossible to ignore the existence of this idle cash.

Therefore, recently, a cash circulation type automatic transaction device has been developed that reduces the number of times the device needs to be refilled with cash and significantly improves capital efficiency by using the cash deposited into the device for withdrawals. It is becoming more and more.

However, in conventional automatic transaction systems, there is no means to detect whether the amount of cash in the device can be transferred to other automatic transaction devices. There are problems in that it is very difficult to exchange cash between automated teller machines, and it is difficult to reduce idle funds.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and its object is to be able to detect a state in which the amount of cash in the cash storage section of an automated teller machine is ready for cash distribution, where cash can be distributed to other devices; It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic transaction device that can easily manage the exchange of cash between devices.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides a cash star detection means capable of detecting the amount of cash in a cash storage section in a cash circulation automatic transaction device that can use deposited cash as cash for withdrawal. The device is configured to detect a cash dispensable state in which there is sufficient cash and the cash can be dispensed to another device.

The structure of the display/input crab knit 1 will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. Display/Crab knit 1
As shown in Fig. 8, CRT is used as an operation guide means.
(Screen display device) 7 and the screen section 7 of this CRT 71
1 a ′/I: It has a transparent keyboard 72 as an operation input means provided in a covered state, and is configured to be incorporated into a casing 73. The transparent key 2 has a transparent electrode 75 on a transparent plate 74 as shown in FIG.
... is embedded, so that X No X5. A matrix circuit of Y1 to Y4 is configured to output an output according to the part pressed by the user. Further, the transparent plate 74 has approximately the same curvature as the screen portion 7.1a of the CRT 77, thereby preventing parallax.

In addition, the display/input unit 11 is arranged on a support shaft 7 so that it can be selectively accessed from both the front and rear sides of the main body 1.
6, and is held in the position shown by the solid line or double-dot line in FIG. 8 by abutting against the respective stops 477 and 78. Note that 79.80 is a switch that serves as a detector to detect the position of display/manual power 1 nit 11.
When the switch 80 is turned on, the transaction mode is switched on, and when the switch 80 is turned on, the mode is switched to the attendant operation mode.

Also, the transparent key? - 972 is the screen section 7 of CRT 7.
1. When displayed as shown in FIG. 10, it is used as a numeric keypad, and when displayed separately, it is programmed to switch to another function.

As the configuration has been explained above, this automatic transaction device 1
The input/output section of θO is composed of three units: an Otakin unit 9, a card/passbook unit 1, and a voice guidance device 99, as shown in FIG. The control unit 90 executes the program according to a predetermined program memory 910 procedure.
It is something that will be done. Incidentally, reference numeral 92 in FIG. 11 is a transaction record memory, which records transaction records, which were conventionally recorded on journal paper, on a floppy disk 93.

The main controller 90 is still connected to the central processing unit (center CPU) y4 via a line, and is positioned as one terminal for online automatic trading. Still, 95 is a remote monitor υ that serves as a viewing means, and is connected to a plurality of automatic transaction devices so that the status of the devices can be monitored. Similarly, the configuration is such that a video signal from the surveillance camera 12 as a photographing means can also be recorded on an image recording device 98 displayed on a remote monitor 95 via a video switching device 97.

The monitoring mode, such as display on the remote monitor 95 or recording on the image recording device 98, is switched depending on the user's transaction selection mode, and the video is recorded only at the time of payment, thereby minimizing the amount of information stored. This makes it convenient for playback and retrieval in the event of a crime, etc., and also aims to reduce recording costs.

Each automatic transaction device 100 configured and operated as described above.
The system for group management and replenishment of cash is shown in FIG. Each automatic transaction device is connected online to the center CPU 94, but for example, one store may have three automatic transaction devices 100a, 1θob, and OθC (machine A
If X machines B and C) are installed, these three machines are connected as a group via the group management control unit 110. When a user executes a transaction and communicates online, the payment type, number of coins, deposited denomination, number of coins, number of withdrawal rejections, and denomination are transmitted from each automatic transaction device to at least the group management control unit 110. be done. A banknote remaining amount monitor 111 is connected to the group management control section 110, and the banknotes remaining amount monitor 111 is recorded in the memory of the group management control section 110. Among the peaks and valleys that are being relied upon, the remaining amount of 1,000 yen and 10,000 yen banknotes P... is at the "end" level where withdrawals are not possible.The remaining amount is low, but it is better to replenish it soon. "Replenishment required" level, remaining amount,
``Full'' level of ``Replenishment possible'' where there is room to transfer cash to other automatic transaction devices 100 and ``Full'' level of ``J'' where the remaining amount is large and deposit is not possible.
The level is indicated by turning on and off the lamps 112. Regarding the "full" level, when the lighting is flickering, the "near full" level, which still has some margin, is controlled so that the "full" level is tossed by continuous lighting.

At the bottom of the monitor 11, there are display sections 1 and 3 that display characters to indicate which type of ticket should be added from which aircraft to which aircraft. Even at this time, when the flicker is 1 non-go, it is better to replenish it, but it is still possible to trade with each Tawara, and when it lights up continuously, the open side indicates that a specific aircraft can no longer be traded] be done. On the other hand, a method for detecting the amount of cash remaining in the bill storage section 17, 18 that stores bills for withdrawal as described above is shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. 13 and 14 show the structure of each banknote storage section (safe) 17, 18. FIG. 13 shows a side cross section, and FIG. 14 shows a state in which FIG. 13 is viewed from below.

Inside the banknote storage section 17゜18, banknotes P are stacked three-dimensionally.
A mating plate 114 for pressing the material toward the extraction section is supported by two shafts 116 by bearings 115, and a spring 118 connected to a belt 117 generates a pressing force. be.

Reference numeral 120 denotes a take-out roller that constitutes the take-out mechanism 24 and whose circumference is partially wrapped with rubber, and guides banknotes (P) one by one to the conveyance paths 221 and 22j. On the other hand, when the bill is stored at the time of deposit, the paper feed (p) is fed from above along the conveyance paths 22z and 22f. It is designed to be pushed into Ill.

In addition, a light shielding plate 122 is attached to the pack-up 0 plate 114, and there are five optical sensors 123a to 123e that are blocked by this and output a "dark" signal, and 123a is "End" Level No.2
,? b is "replenishment cost" level, 123C is "replenishment possible"
Level, 123d is "near full", 123e is "full"
level. Each signal at these levels is on the main side @ part 9
0 to the ttt management control unit 110. ()
The control unit 110 sends the upper 61:2 level signals to the banknote remaining amount monitor 11 to display the level of each aircraft as a rung, and also performs a logical operation on the valley level to determine when an aircraft needs replenishment. , if there is an aircraft at a level that can be replaced, the first
As in the example in Figure 2, "1000 yen bill from aircraft A to aircraft B"
As if telling fortune-telling, it also displays information at the same time. Group management control unit 110
It has a memory for storing each of the two m-reports, and its memorandum is as shown in Fig. 15. That is, the memory address is defined by rows and columns, where the columns represent each machine and the rows contain information regarding the remaining cash amount of each machine. Row no θ~12
is calculated by subtracting the amount of cash deposited or withdrawn for each cash transaction line initially set in the aircraft, and shows the logical amount of cash remaining. Here, the term "logical" means that in the bill ejecting mechanism 24, the bill storage section 17.
18 When withdrawing one coin at a time, if it is determined that payment is unnecessary due to phenomena such as skiing or two-coin withdrawal 9, it has a function to reject this, so if a rejection occurs when executing a transaction. This is because the amount of cash in the banknote storage units 17 and 18 will be less than the previous subtraction value. Row 1
3 to 22 are the sensors 12 of the banknote storage section 17 and 18 of each aircraft.
3a ~ 1230 power, 4ka, ro at the safe residual level
J and rtJ, and performs a logical operation on these to output supplementary information from column A to column B, for example.

Next, lines 23 to 24 indicate the number of times the inspection unit 20 determines that payment is unnecessary due to phenomena such as skiing or double taking 9 when taking out paper sheets one by one from the paper storage unit 17 and 18 during a withdrawal transaction. It is.

If this is used, instead of the supplementary information being output based on the information in lines 13 to 22 in the previous explanation, as another application example,
Replenishment information can be output as follows.

That is, after first memorizing the number of denominations set in the safe, that is, the ten thousand yen bill storage section no.
0 to check for dirt, etc., and the amount determined to be payable.
Calculate the number of coins, in the case of withdrawal, the amount paid to the user,
Subtract the number of sheets, store it in rows 10 to 2, then subtract the value obtained by doubling the number of rejections (this is because there are many cases of two sheets being rejected), and use this value as the remaining safe value. ``End'' and ``Nyaev 1-
``J, r replenishment OJJ, r niyaful.''

It compares it with the "full" threshold candy, outputs the remaining amount level, and outputs replenishment information based on this. Further row 2
5 is the "storage amount", for example, a thousand yen note (P...
) When you take out 100 coins and insert them into machine B, if for some reason they are rejected and you cannot put them into the 1,000 yen bill storage section 17 of machine B, enter the amount using the operation keys and the cash will be handed over to the staff. Even if I had kept it, I would not be able to remember it.

The above is a mechanism for knowing the amount of cash remaining in the safe of the automatic transaction device 100 that is group-managed, that is, in the banknote storage sections 17 and 18, and outputting replenishment information.

Next, the flow of operations for the clerk to replenish cash based on this replenishment information will be explained. The staff will be assigned I corresponding to each aircraft A, B, and C.
A C memory card 01 holds a passbook E, and this IC memory card C is given a signal that limits machine transactions to "replenishment". A flowchart is shown in FIG.

In other words, in the flowchart of FIG. 16, if the replenishment key 125 is not turned on for both deposits and withdrawals, the flow will be that of the current transaction mode. This supplementary key is shown in Fig. 12. When a key 126 held by an attendant is inserted into the aircraft and turned, a signal is output by pressing a lever 127 or a switch 12B, which cannot be output by anything other than the key 125. It has a structure. When the clerk determines from the remaining banknote amount monitor 11 that machine A should be replenished from machine B, he first specifies withdrawal from the key gate in order to execute the withdrawal transaction on machine A. At this point, when the replenishment key 125 is turned on via the key 126, the flow is switched to the replenishment flow. When card C is inserted, aircraft A communicates with the group management control unit 110 to inform the CRT of the denomination and number of cards that can be lent to other aircraft.
7 Display on J. When the clerk keys in the amount, the banknote P of one denomination corresponding to this amount is controlled to be released. After discharging the IC memory card C, issuing a slip (statement slip) 56 on which the disbursed amount is printed, and discharging the banknote P,
It communicates with the group management control unit 110 again, and in this transaction, the banknote storage unit (gold side) 17.7. ! ? Send information about the amount of cash released from.

Next, take the replenished banknotes (P...) and designate a deposit using machine B, and then turn on the replenishment key 125 using the key 126 again to switch to replenishment mode and insert the passbook E in the same way as a normal deposit transaction. , when a banknote (P...) is inserted, the input amount, including the denomination and number of banknotes, is printed on the passbook E and released. In this way, the automatic transaction device 1θ0
Cash stored in ..., i.e. banknotes (P...)
The payment and acceptance mechanism is the same, and is configured so that the accepted banknotes (P) can be circulated for payment, and the normal transaction function is suspended to replenish the payment banknotes (P...). Since we have made it possible to execute without having to
When setting banknotes (P...) into the machine, it was necessary to switch the machine to the "discontinued" state, set the banknotes (P...), and then change the machine to "in use" again. However, this is an extremely simple replenishment system that does not require any such flexibility and allows you to replenish banknotes (P...) with the same operation as a normal transaction, and records can be output to the slip (statement slip) 56 or passbook E. can be provided.

〔Effect of the invention〕
