Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Background of the invention This invention relates to an automatic money changer.

A customer who exchanged money using an automatic currency exchange machine withdraws 1'l.
In some cases, the exchanged cash released by the bank may be stored. If you are relieved that the IIk1 customer has been accommodated, the exchanged cash that was accommodated will remain in the automatic exchange machine, so you can receive cash for the exchanged yen (・).

However, if some time has passed since the exchanged cash was stored, and the user becomes dissatisfied with the storage, it is often difficult to retrieve the exchanged cash.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides an automatic device which, when exchanged cash is stored, notifies the customer that the exchanged cash has been stored and does not accept the stored exchanged cash only from the customer who received the exchanged cash. The purpose is to

The automatic money exchange machine according to the present invention includes a card reading device in which customer-specific data is recorded, a storage device for storing the read customer-specific data, an exchange cash outlet having a shutter, and an exchange cash outlet having a shutter. means for opening a shutter when the exchange cash is delivered to the exit; an exchange cash detector for detecting exchange cash at an exchange cash outlet; and a means for storing exchange cash under predetermined conditions based on exchange cash by the exchange cash detector; A storage determining means for determining the presence or absence of exchange cash, a reporting device for notifying the customer that exchange cash is stored, a means for driving the notification device and closing the shack when the storage determining means determines that exchange cash is stored; The card is read by the card reader before a predetermined period of 11'f has elapsed since the shutter was activated, and data specific to the customer read is recorded.1. and means for opening the shutter when matching customer-specific data stored in the device. Cards are generally used to limit the number of customers who can use yen (-r), and the card is a currency exchange IM card, a bank with a currency exchange machine, or a bank that belongs to the same group. When exchanging money, the customer inserts the card into the card slot or manually scans the card, and the card is read by the reading device, and the read fMi Customer-specific data, for example, information about the customer, is stored in the storage device.

The shutter is constantly monitored. 2) It is opened when the cash is sent to the eject II.

After the shutter is opened, when it is determined by the accommodation determining means that there is exchanged cash, the notification device is activated and the shack is opened.

As a result, the KJO customer who has received the exchanged cash is notified of whether the exchanged cash has been accepted, and the exchanged cash that has been accepted is stored.

and before the required time elapses after the shutter is activated, the customer inserts the card 1] or the card is read by the reading device by manual scanning and customer-specific data is read. The shack is opened when the customer-specific data matches the already recorded customer-specific data. Zunawaji determines whether the customer whose card was read at the time of the notification of detention is the customer who stored the exchanged cash, and if the kit 1 customer forgot to take the exchanged cash. The seat ivy is opened only if the person is a "very good customer". I forgot to bring cash.
The tiri customer forgot to take the change 13-1. You can take out the money. However, even if the card is stolen before a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the card was used, the customer may not have forgotten to take the cash to replace the card. If you forget to take out the exchange cash because the shutter won't open)
There is no risk of the machine being taken out by someone who is not a customer.Explanation of the Embodiment Figure 1 shows an automatic machine (G showing the outside of the machine). In this example, the card is a bank card. Only those who have that card can exchange BJ money. The front of the automatic money changer is almost vertical (vertical 1, -), and there is an operation panel (1), a bank number, and a seat 11. 1;, !

A pair of left and right customer detection sensors (8) are provided on the vertical surface below the horizontal operation surface to detect that a customer is within a predetermined range in front of the automatic exchange machine. This predetermined range is indicated by the symbol S in Fig. 2.Although not shown in the tol'A operation panel (1), exchange is possible (J, push button switch for denomination setting, push button switch for cancellation). There is a switch or something.

It is checked whether all the exchanged cash has been taken out (step t511).When both the banknote detector (23) and the tube coin detector (13) are turned off, that is, when all the cash from the bank has been taken out by the customer, (No in step (51)), the shutter (241 (14) is closed (step (521))
The account number stored in the RA (33) in step (45) is cleared (step (53)), and this process ends.

When at least one of the banknote detector (23) and the cylinder coin detector (13) is on, that is, at least a portion of the exchanged cash remains (step '77''t,
51) When the customer leaves the money exchange machine and the customer is no longer detected by the customer detector (8) (NO in step (54)), Tm1 customer leaves or takes the exchange cash. It is determined that you have forgotten the money, and the speaker (4) plays a voice saying "Forget, please take the money" (step (551)), and the buzzer (

11] A person other than the customer forgets to take out the exchange cash after the timer setting time has elapsed since the prize was set in step (58) of J1. Even if the card is inserted into the cart (of 2), since the shutter t241 (141) is not opened, there is no risk that the forgotten exchanged cash will be taken out by someone who is not the customer who forgot to take it out.

In Step 1 t5!11, when the card is inserted and the set time of the timer has elapsed without any delay (YES in step (59)), the clerk dispenses the money or collects the exchanged cash that was forgotten (step (59)). 66) ), this process ends.

In the above embodiment, when there is leftover cash left and the customer is not detected (see steps (51) and (54)), the speaker and buzzer are used to notify the customer that the money has been left behind. ) When a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the shack was opened, if there is leftover cash left, it may be determined that the money has been left behind, and a speaker and a buzzer may be used to notify the user that the money has been left behind.
