On the other hand, if the device is in the process of replenishing cash, for example: ■ When the replenishment safe is in cash, ■ During the replenishment operation from the replenishment command to the end of the replenishment command, A management method that prohibits processes other than replenishment improves the accuracy of cash management for cash replenishment.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a cash replenishment management system in a recycling type cash handling device or the like.

In recent years, so-called recycling-type cash handling devices have become popular, which store deposited cash in a safe (hereinafter referred to as a recycling safe) and use the cash for withdrawals.

In the above-mentioned recycling-type cash handling device, such as a cash deposit/disbursement machine, replenishing the recycling safe with cash at the start of operation (initial replenishment) requires replenishing a large amount of cash because the recycling safe is empty, and this is generally done using a replenishment safe. It is being said.

When replenishing cash using a replenishment safe, the cash (banknotes) in the replenishment safe is fed out one by one by pressing the replenishment key, counted and verified, and then stored in a recycling safe by denomination.The replenishment amount is equal to the replenishment amount calculated above. Managed by a counter.

The above replenishment is an initial replenishment performed at the start of operation, and traditionally it has not been separated from other processes such as personal withdrawal processing, but there is a possibility that deposits and withdrawals will be processed before replenishment, and then initial replenishment will be performed. There was a problem that the accuracy of cash management could be lost.

In other words, the counting discrimination means for replenishment cash is shared with the counting discrimination means for deposit/withdrawal processing, and the replenishment amount is counted and managed by the above counting discrimination means. If cash already exists, or if cash other than the replenishment process gets mixed into the recycle safe, such as when the deposit/withdrawal process interrupts the replenishment process, the replenishment amount will become unknown due to an error or the like.

Furthermore, the replenishment safe is used as an unfit note safe when in operation, and if deposits and withdrawals are made before or during replenishment, cash management may become impossible.

Therefore, there is a need for a cash replenishment management system that solves the above-mentioned problems during initial replenishment.

[Conventional technology]

To explain the deposit processing operation in the side sectional view of the recycling saint dispensing machine l shown in FIG. The money is pooled in the pool section 5, and after the amount is confirmed, it is stored in recycling safes A to C by denomination.

On the other hand, during a withdrawal processing operation, a designated amount is dispensed from the recycling safes A to C, counted by the counting and discrimination section 4, and discharged to the withdrawal port 3.

In the above process, the replenishment safe 6 is used as an unfit note safe for storing notes that cannot be distinguished during operation, 500 yen notes, and the like.

Initial replenishment is performed at the start of operation, and when bills are put into the replenishment safe 6 and the replenishment key is pressed, the banknotes are fed out from the replenishment safe 6, counted by denomination by the counting and discrimination section 4, and sent to recycling safes A-C. Stored and replenished.

Note that the input and withdrawal amounts and replenishment amounts are managed by providing counters for each denomination.

FIG. 2(b) shows a block diagram of the control unit of the deposit/withdrawal machine, which includes a safe A counter 16, a safe B counter 17,
A safe C counter 18 and a replenishment counter 19 are provided to store and manage the counting results of the counting discrimination section 4 by denomination based on a deposit command, a withdrawal command, and a replenishment command, respectively.

10 is a deposit processing unit, 11 is a withdrawal processing unit, 12 is a replenishment processing unit, each of which performs the above processing based on a command, 9 is an interface with an OTM etc., 13 is a money sensor 14 of each safe, This is an interface with the command key 15.

As mentioned above, initial replenishment is carried out at each safe A when the deposit/withdrawal machine starts operating.
After confirming the cash temperature of -C and clearing each counter 16 to 19, the cash is put into the replenishment safe 6, and the replenishment processing unit 12 is activated by pressing the replenishment key. Note that if one replenishment is insufficient, an additional replenishment operation is performed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

As explained above, in the initial cash replenishment, there is a problem that accurate cash management cannot be performed if there is cash in the replenishment destination safe or if other processing is permitted during the replenishment period.

[Means for solving problems]

The problems with the above conventional methods are that the replenishment command is enabled when it is detected that the replenishment destination safe is empty or the pre-processing is initial replenishment processing, and when the cash replenishment safe is charged or the replenishment processing This problem can be solved by the cash replenishment management method of the present invention, which has a means for treating the period from the start to when the replenishment end input is pressed as being in the cash replenishment process and prohibiting other processes.

[Effect]

The present invention allows initial replenishment when the replenishment safe is empty, and ■replenishes when it is in charge, and during detailed replenishment, that is, ■when the replenishment safe is in charge, and ■replenishment command. This prohibits other processing until the replenishment command ends.

In addition, the accuracy of cash management can be maintained by performing cash replenishment management in which initial replenishment is performed only during the initial setting of the deposit/dispensing machine prior to other processing.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
