Function keys FKI to FK54 are arranged around the device as means for instructing control and stopping.

A CRT display is generally used as the display unit 2, and the operation keyboard 1 is operated to perform 1. Once the screen corresponding to the business item is called up, the control unit 4 is instructed to proceed with the process by operating each machine along the screen.
It is pre-programmed.

FIG. 5 shows the screen display contents of the display unit 2 when it is idle.
By manually selecting a task using keys on the operation keyboard 1, the corresponding program is selected and its screen is displayed.

<Deposit transaction> When the bank employee (teller) presses the function key FK20 (automatic deposit key) for executing the deposit process on the operation keyboard 1 shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 4 selects a program to start the deposit process, The screen of the display unit 2 is changed from the idle screen shown in FIG. 5 to the automatic deposit screen shown in FIG. (hereinafter referred to as command).

When the deposit/withdrawal device 5 receives the command to start deposit processing,
Switch the internal state to deposit mode and wait for banknotes to be inserted.

When it is detected that a banknote has been inserted into the input slot 13,
In response to the status sense command that is periodically transmitted from the control unit 4, a response message (hereinafter referred to as a response) is sent back with information indicating that there are banknotes in the input slot.

Next, the control unit 4 transmits a deposit counting command and instructs to count the banknotes set in the input slot.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the deposit/withdrawal device 5 will be explained based on FIG. 6.

The banknotes inserted into the input slot 13 are taken into the device one by one from the bottom by the operation of the deposit separation mechanism 15, and sent to the discrimination section 16 along the running path.

In the discrimination section 16, the conveyed banknotes are sequentially authenticated one by one, checked to determine whether the banknotes are good or bad (9), and to detect the running state. .

A banknote determined by the discrimination unit 16 to be a genuine banknote and the front side;
Those determined to be counterfeit bills do not operate the switching gate 22 located at the entrance of the front and back arrangement mechanism 17, and proceed to the switching gate 23 through the route (a).

If you receive a ticket that is determined to be a counterfeit ticket, please proceed to the switching gate 23.
is activated, conveys it to the upper side, and is carried by the traveling path 20 (H)
It is conveyed along the route from the rear toward the front, and is made to reach the discharge outlet accumulation section 21. In the discharge port stacking section 21, the transported banknotes are stacked one by one at the discharge port 14. Outlet port 14
The banknotes accumulated in the bank are so-called deposit-rejected banknotes.

When a banknote determined to be a genuine banknote and a front side banknote arrives, the switching gate 23 does not operate, and the banknote heads downward to the intermediate unit 11 through the route (c).

If the banknote is determined to be a genuine banknote and a reverse side by the discrimination section 16, the switching gate 22 located at the entrance of the front and back arrangement mechanism 17 is operated to send the banknote to route (0) and pass through the front and back arrangement mechanism 17. By doing so, the leading and trailing ends of the banknotes being conveyed are reversed so that the banknotes are facing up, and are sent out along the route (c), and sent to the intermediate unit 11 via the travel path 19.

Note that both routes are arranged so that the time taken to pass route (A) and the time taken to pass route (El) are the same.

In the intermediate unit 11, the banknotes whose surfaces are aligned are conveyed along the travel path in the direction of the arrow.

Here, if a genuine 5,000 yen note that can be reused for withdrawal is conveyed, the 5,000 yen note is sent to the 5,000 yen note accumulation section 27 by operating the gate 39. , are accumulated in the temporary storage section 31 for 5,000 yen notes. Similarly, in the case of a genuine 1,000 yen note that can be reused for withdrawal, the 1,000 yen note is sold at the gate 38.
The banknotes are sent to the 1,000 yen bill accumulating section 26 and accumulated in the 1,000 yen bill temporary holding section 30. If the banknotes are genuine 10,000 yen bills and can be reused for withdrawal, the 10,000 yen bill portion is transferred to the gate. 37 to feed the 10,000 yen bills into the 10,000 yen bill accumulating section 25 and accumulate them in the 10,000 yen bill temporary storage section 29.

In the case of damaged notes or notes that cannot be withdrawn (for example, 500 yen notes or banknotes that have not been altered), they are treated as non-returnable banknotes, and the bulk/deposit portion is processed by operating the gate 36 and sent to the bulk/deposit accumulation section. The funds are sent in bulk to 24/accumulated in deposit temporary storage section 28.

Through the above operations, when the deposit counting process for the banknotes deposited in the slot 13 is completed, the deposit/withdrawal device 5 returns a response indicating completion of deposit counting to the control unit 4, and counts each denomination as the data. The number of banknotes is divided into recycled banknotes and non-recycled banknotes and added.

Upon receiving this data, the control unit 4 calculates the amount for each denomination and the total amount, displays them on the display unit 2 as shown in FIG. 8(b), and counts and stores this data as the number of deposited coins. .

In this example, five million yen notes (50,000 yen) and one 5,000 yen note (5,000 yen) are counted as deposits, and the total amount is 55.
000 yen is shown.

On the other hand, the teller is guided to input the deposit amount written on the slip etc. by operating the operation keyboard 1, and by inputting the deposit amount using the numeric keypad and pressing the function key FK47 to process the deposit. ,
It is displayed on the display unit 2 as shown in FIG. 8(C). In this example, the deposit is 53,000 yen.

By obtaining the above data, the control section 4 calculates a subtraction between the amount of money deposited by the deposit/withdrawal device 5 and the amount of money deposited from the operation keyboard 1, and displays the result on the display section 2. The display contents are as shown in Fig. 8 (d+).

In this example, 55.000-53,0OO=2,000 and 2.0
00 yen will be given to the customer as change. This change is given when the teller hands over cash, and when the teller gives the change from the cash on hand.
In some cases, it may be given by issuing banknotes from the bank. When handing over cash, it is necessary to input that fact, so press the corresponding function key FK41 (change key).

Upon receiving this input, the control unit 4 sets the difference to "0" and ends the process.

To release change from the deposit/withdrawal device 5, press another function key FK39 (automatic change key).

Upon receiving this input, the control unit 4 displays the contents shown in FIG. 8(e) on the display unit 2, and first,

1, 41, and 18, and is sent to the discrimination section 16.

The discrimination unit 16 discriminates whether or not the banknotes have been conveyed as specified. If the banknotes have been conveyed as specified, the switching gate 23 is activated to send the banknotes to the running path 20, and the banknotes that have reached the discharge outlet accumulation unit 21 are released. It is collected at the outlet 14. In addition, the discrimination section 16
If the banknote is not as specified or is determined to be a banknote that cannot be withdrawn, the switching gate 23 is not activated and the banknote is conveyed downward, passes through the traveling path 19, and passes through the intermediate unit 11 along the dotted line. The banknotes are conveyed and fed into the reject banknote storage 42 through the rejected banknote drop-in section 4o. Then, the paper is taken out from the 1,000-yen bill storage 45 again and the process of identification is repeated.

As described above, when the change discharging operation is completed, the deposit/withdrawal device 5
returns a response notifying the completion of dispensing change, and adds the denomination and number of coins to be disbursed as data.

The control unit 4 receives this, counts it as the number of coins to be withdrawn, and stores it.

With the above steps, the operations and processes for depositing money and discharging change are completed, and when the customer's bankbook, slip, etc. are set in the printing unit 3, the results of the transaction are printed. Since the printed content and format vary depending on the bankbook and slip, a description thereof will be omitted here. Note that communication between the control unit 4 and the central processing unit (not shown) is also well known, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

When the deposit transaction process is completed, the screen on the display unit 2 is returned to the business selection screen shown in FIG. 5 in preparation for the next operation.

When you press ``Automatic payment'', the control unit 4 selects and executes a program to start the withdrawal process, and changes the screen of the display unit 2 from the idle screen shown in FIG. 5 to the automatic one shown in FIG. 9(a). Switch to payment screen. It also sends a command to start the withdrawal process to the deposit/withdrawal device 5.

When the deposit/withdrawal device 5 receives the command to start the withdrawal process, it switches its internal state to the withdrawal mode and waits for instructions on the denomination and number of banknotes to be dispensed.

Next, by operating the function key 33 of the operation keyboard 1, the screen of the display unit 2 changes as shown in FIG. 9(b), and the user is able to specify the denomination to be withdrawn.

Here, use the numeric keys on the operation keyboard 1 to enter the withdrawal amount for each denomination and confirm it using the function key 4.
When 3 is pressed, a screen as shown in FIG. 9(C) appears. Note that the total withdrawal amount by denomination is the withdrawal amount (16,
000 yen), a data abnormality is displayed on the screen and the teller is notified. When the total amount matches, the control unit 4 sends a withdrawal command to the deposit/withdrawal device 5 with the number of coins for each denomination added,
Instructs to count the bills to be withdrawn.

The processing and operation contents of the deposit/withdrawal device 5 are the same as those for automatic change, so they will be explained using FIG. 7.

The instructions for counting withdrawals are 1 million yen note, 1 5000 yen note, and 1 1000 yen note.
Therefore, first, the end detector 57b of the million yen bill storage 44 determines whether or not the end has been detected.

If an end is detected, a response is returned with information indicating that withdrawals are not possible.

If the end is not detected, the take-out separation mechanism 48 is activated to feed out one ten thousand yen note.

The dispensed banknotes travel along the travel path 51, as shown by the arrow in FIG.
41.18 and sent to the discrimination section 16. Identification section 16
Then, it is determined whether the banknote is as specified, and if it is as specified, the switching gate 23 is activated and the banknote is sent into the running path 20.
The banknotes that have reached the outlet stacking section 21 are accumulated at the outlet 14.

If the discrimination section 16 determines that the specification is not met or that withdrawal is not possible, the switching gate 23 is not activated, and the conveyance is carried downward, passing through the road construction 9, and then being transferred to the intermediate unit 1.
1 is conveyed along the dotted line and sent from the dispensing reject banknote drop-in section 40 to the reject banknote storage 42. Then, the process of taking out the 10,000 yen bill again from the 10,000 yen bill storage 44 and performing the discrimination is repeated.

After discharging the 10,000 yen note, one 5,000 yen note is then released from the 5,000 yen note storage 46 in the same manner as the 10,000 yen note. Subsequently, one thousand yen bill is discharged from the thousand yen bill storage 45 in the same manner, and when the withdrawal of the specified number of bills from the control unit 4 is completed, a response of completion is returned, and the discharge amount is Add seeds and their number. The control unit 4 receives this, counts it as the number of coins to be withdrawn, and stores it.

With the above steps, the operation and processing of the withdrawal transaction is completed, and the printing unit 3
When a customer's bankbook, slip, etc. are set in the machine, the results of the transaction are printed out. The printed content and format vary depending on the bankbook and slip, so a description thereof will be omitted here.

Note that communication between the control unit 4 and the central processing unit (not shown) is also well known, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

When the withdrawal transaction process is completed, the screen on the display unit 2 is returned to the business selection screen shown in FIG. 5 in preparation for the next operation.

<Safe collection> When the function key FKZ8 (fund registration key) that instructs execution of the fund registration process on the operation keyboard 1 is pressed, the control unit 4 selects and executes a program for registering funds, and displays the screen of the display unit 2 for the first time.

Upon receiving these inputs, the control unit 4 transmits a command to the deposit/withdrawal device 5 to instruct the start of the safe collection operation.

When the deposit/withdrawal device 5 receives the command to start the safe collection operation, it switches its internal state to the safe collection mode and confirms that all of the storage boxes 44, 45, and 46 for each denomination type have not detected the end, that is, they should be collected. Banknotes are stored in a denomination storage 44
．． Confirm that it exists in either 45 or 46. If all of the denomination storages have detected the end, a response is returned with information indicating that the operation is disabled, and this process is aborted.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the storage boxes, the safe collection operation is started.

Hereinafter, the operation of the deposit/withdrawal device 5 will be explained based on FIG. 10.

First, the 5,000 yen bill takeout/separation mechanism 50 is activated to pay out the bills stored in the 5,000 yen bill storage 46 one by one from the bottom, and move them along the running path 51, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 41
．． 18 and sent to the discrimination section 16. In the discrimination section 16, the incoming banknotes are sequentially sent one by one through a running path to a front/back alignment mechanism 17 located at the rear after performing authenticity discrimination (1) discrimination between front and back sides and detecting the running state. Note that the banknotes stored in each denomination storage 44, 45, 46 are processed to have their fronts and backs aligned when they are stored, so basically, they are not sent to the front and back alignment mechanism 17 at this time. Without,
It is transported toward the switching gate 23. Switching gate 23

Instructs to collect banknotes stored in bulk/deposit storage.

Open the front door of lower unit) 12 using the audit key,
Pull the storage rack forward, pull out the bulk/deposit storage, use the storage key to open the storage door, and take out all the banknotes.

The storage door is closed and the storage is set by performing the reverse operation as described above. When the lower unit 12 has been set, the collection operation is performed again.

Also, regarding the bulk/deposit temporary storage section 28, when the permissible number of coins to be held (for example, 100 coins) is reached, the operation of the removal and separation mechanism from the denomination storage is interrupted and the bulk/deposit temporary storage section shutter 32 is lowered. It is opened to the side and stored in the storage 43. When the storage operation is completed and the batch/input/output temporary storage section shutter 32 returns to its original state, the takeout/separation mechanism is operated again to repeat the collection operation.

Thus, when the end of the ten thousand yen bill storage 44 is detected, the takeout/separation mechanism 48 is stopped, and when the last bill arrives at the batch/deposit temporary storage section 28, the conveyance operation by the travel path is also stopped. Further, the banknotes in the bulk/deposit temporary storage unit 28 are stored in the storage 43, and the safe collection operation is completed.

Note that there are three methods for processing banknotes that are determined to be banknotes whose denomination cannot be determined or banknotes in poor running condition (skewed banknotes, two or more overlapping banknotes) as a result of the recognition by the recognition unit 16.

The first method is the routes (<) a, b, and c shown in Fig. 10, in which banknotes fed out from each denomination storage 44, 45, and 46 are accumulated in the corresponding temporary storage section 29, 30, 31. do.

Further, after the safe collection operation is completed, the coins may be stored in storage compartments for each denomination, or the intermediate unit 11 may be unlocked and guided to the teller for removal.

This method can be used to distinguish between rejected banknotes and the intermediate unit 11 or denomination storage 44.45.
46 and the unrecoverable tickets can be counted immediately after collection processing.

The second method is the route shown in FIG. This method has the advantage that it can be stored together with rejected banknotes and processed as uncountable banknotes after the transaction is completed.

The third method is the route shown in FIG. 10(c), in which the switching gate 23 is operated, the flow path 20 sends the waste to the discharge outlet accumulation section 21, and the discharge outlet 14 accumulates it.

This method has the advantage that unloadable notes can be processed without operating the intermediate unit 11 and the lower unit 12.

In addition, if the first method is to store each denomination in the storage compartments 44, 45, 46, the collection operation is executed again, and the items that can be identified by denomination are stored in the bulk/deposit storage 43. If the banknotes are accumulated but still cannot be identified, they can be stored in the reject banknote storage 42 or accumulated in the outlet 14 using the second method or the third method.

This method has the advantage of allowing more complete automatic collection processing.

After completing the above processing, the deposit/withdrawal device 5 returns a response indicating completion of safe collection, and adds the number of coins collected for each denomination as data.

Upon receiving this data, the control unit 4 displays the collected amount for each denomination and the total collected amount on the display unit 2, as shown in FIG. 11(C).

In this example, 300 yen notes, 50 5000 yen notes, and 200 yen notes total 3,450,000 yen of funds collected.

If you judge on this screen that it is appropriate, press the function key FK36 (registration key) that instructs registration. Upon receiving this, the control unit 4 counts and stores the number of collected sheets.

Here, when the slip is set in the printing section 3, the collected amount is printed. The screen then returns to the idle screen shown in FIG.

(Discharge outlet collection) When the function key FK28 (fund registration key) for selecting the execution of the fund registration process on the operation keyboard 1 is pressed, the control unit 4 selects and executes the program for registering funds, and displays the screen on the display unit 2. The idle screen shown in FIG. 5 is changed to the fund registration screen shown in FIG. 11(a).

Here, as shown in FIG. 13(a), select the outlet collection 4, input [4], and press the function key FK32 (automatic registration key) to execute the process.

Upon receiving these inputs, the control unit 4 transmits a command to the deposit/withdrawal device 5 to instruct the start of the discharge outlet collection operation.

When the deposit/withdrawal device 5 receives the command to start the discharge port collection operation, it switches its internal state to the discharge port collection mode, and confirms that all of the denomination storages 44, 45, and 46 have not detected the end, that is, the collection is complete. The banknotes to be stored are stored in the denomination storage 44.
．． Confirm that it exists in either 45 or 46.

If all types of storage have detected the end,
A response is returned with additional information added to the action, and this process is aborted.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the storages, the discharge port collection operation is started.

Hereinafter, the operation of the deposit/withdrawal device 5 will be explained based on FIG. 12.

First, the 5,000 yen takeout/separation mechanism 50 is activated to pay out the banknotes stored in the 5,000 yen storage 46 one by one from the bottom, and follow the arrows in FIG.
18 and sent to the discrimination section 16. The discrimination section 16 sequentially discriminates the authenticity of the incoming banknotes one by one, determines the front and back sides, and detects the running state, and sends the bills to the front and back arrangement mechanism 17 located at the rear via a running path. Since the banknotes stored in the denomination storages 44, 45, and 46 are processed to have their fronts and backs aligned when they are stored, they are basically not sent to the front and back alignment mechanism 17 at this time. , and are transported toward the switching gate 23. By operating the switching gate 23, the material is transported upward,
The banknotes that have reached the outlet stacking section 21 along the travel path 20 are accumulated at the outlet 14 .

The deposit/withdrawal device 5 repeats the above operation while counting each denomination, and when the 5,000 yen storage 46 detects the end, it then pays out money from the 1,000 yen storage 45 and executes the above operation. Furthermore, when the 1000 yen bill storage 45 detects the end, it is fed out from the 10000 yen bill storage 44 and performs the same operation.

Furthermore, the banknotes stored in the bulk/deposit storage 43 can also be fed out and collected in the same manner.

In this way, banknotes from each denomination storage are sequentially accumulated at the outlet. In addition, during the collection operation, the number of sheets allowed to accumulate at the outlet (
For example, if the number reaches 100 sheets, the collection operation will be interrupted,
The information is sent back to the control section 4. The control unit 4 displays "discharge port full" in a blank field on the display unit 2, and instructs the withdrawal of banknotes from the discharge port. When the banknotes are removed from the outlet, the collection operation is performed again.

Thus, when the ten thousand yen bill storage 44 detects the end, the takeout separation mechanism 48 stops.If the banknotes in the bulk/deposit storage 43 are also collected, when the bulk/deposit storage 43 detects the end, the takeout separation mechanism 48 stops. 47), and when the last banknote is accumulated in the discharge port 14, the conveyance operation by the travel path is stopped. When the banknotes from the outlet 14 are removed, the outlet collection operation ends.

Note that there are three methods for processing banknotes that are determined to be undeterminable denomination banknotes or banknotes in poor running condition (skewed banknotes, two or more overlapping banknotes) as a result of the recognition by the recognition unit 16.

The first method is (a) a, b, and C shown in FIG.

It is route d, and there are storage rooms for each denomination: 43.44°45.
The banknotes fed out from 46 are placed in the corresponding temporary storage section 28.29.
, 30.31.

Further, after the discharge outlet collection operation is completed, the denominations may be stored in storage compartments for each denomination, or the intermediate unit 11 may be unlocked and guided to the teller for removal.

This method allows the banknotes to be distinguished from rejected banknotes, and is stored in the intermediate unit 1-11 or the denomination-specific storage 43, 44.
．． There is an advantage that unrecoverable tickets can be counted immediately after collection processing by withdrawing 45.46.

The second method is the route <4') d shown in FIG. Similar to the first method, it may be stored in the bulk/deposit storage 43, or
The intermediate unit 11 may be unlocked and guided to the teller to take it out.

This method has the same advantages as the first method, but it also has the advantage that uncollectible tickets can be counted by taking out only the bulk/deposit temporary storage section 28 or the bulk/deposit storage 43. .

The third method is route (U) shown in FIG.
The rejected banknotes are fed into the rejected banknote drop-in section 4o and stored in the reject banknote storage 42.

This method has the advantage that it can be stored together with rejected banknotes and processed as uncountable banknotes after the transaction is completed.

In addition, in the first method and the second method, the bulk/deposit storage 4
3 and storage bins 44, 45, and 46 for each denomination, the collection operation is performed again, and the denominations that can be identified are accumulated in the discharge port 14, and the items that cannot be identified are accumulated in the discharge port 14. The items are stored in the reject banknote storage 42 by the third method.
Another option is to store it in.

This method has the advantage of allowing more complete automatic collection processing.

After completing the above process, the fully loaded W5 sends back a response indicating completion of collection at the outlet, and adds the number of coins collected for each denomination as data. Upon receiving this data, the control unit 4 displays the collected amount for each denomination and the total collected amount on the display unit 2 as shown in FIG. 13(b).

In this example, there are 200 10,000 yen notes, 70 5,000 yen notes, 200 1,000 yen notes, and 10 500 yen notes for a total of 2.555.
．． This means that you have recovered 00 yen in funds.

If you judge on this screen that it is appropriate, press the function key FK36 (registration key) that instructs registration. In response to this, the control unit 4 counts and stores the number of collected sheets.

In addition, in the above-mentioned discharge outlet collection operation, if the control unit 4 specifies the number of coins to be collected, it can be inferred that the corresponding number of coins of the designated denomination is collected.

When the registration process is completed, the collected amount is printed by setting the slip in the printing unit 3.

The screen then returns to the idle screen shown in FIG.

When the function key FK28 (fund registration key) for selecting execution of the fund registration process on the operation keyboard 1 is pressed, the control unit 4 selects and executes a program for registering funds, and displays the program. The screen of section 2 is changed from the idle screen shown in FIG. 5 to the fund registration screen shown in FIG. 11(a). Here, as shown in Figure 21 (a), select outlet collection 4 and enter [4], then enter the amount of each denomination you want to collect in the denomination breakdown column. In the example, input results for collecting 100 100,000 yen notes and 100 1000 yen notes are shown.

Next, press the function key FK32 (automatic registration key) to execute the process.

Upon receiving these inputs, the control unit 4 transmits a command to the deposit/withdrawal device 5 to instruct the start of the discharge outlet collection (specify the number of coins) operation.

When the deposit/withdrawal device 5 receives the command to start the discharge outlet collection (specifying the number of coins) operation, it switches its internal state to the discharge outlet collection mode, and checks that the end of each denomination storage 44, 45, 46 has not been detected. That is, it is confirmed that the banknotes to be collected are present in any of the denomination storages 44, 45, 46. If all of the denomination storages have detected the end, a response is returned with additional information added, and this process is aborted. When it is confirmed that the end has not been detected in any one of the storages, the controller 4 responds to the status sense command sent periodically by adding information indicating that there are banknotes in each denomination storage. Send it back.

Next, the control unit 4 sends a collection counting command with data on the number of coins to be collected by denomination (100 yen bills, 100 yen bills) added, and instructs the discharge port to count the collection.

Upon receiving this command, the deposit/withdrawal device 5 confirms whether or not more than the designated number of banknotes remains in each storage.

If the number of sheets in each storage is less than the specified number, a response is returned with additional data for collection, and this process is canceled. If the number is equal to or greater than the specified number, a collection counting operation is started.

Hereinafter, the operation of the deposit/withdrawal device 5 will be explained based on FIG. 14.

First, according to the instructions from the control unit 4, the 1,000-yen bill removal and separation mechanism 4
9 to feed out the bills stored in the 1,000 yen storage 45 one by one from the bottom, as shown by the arrows in Figure 14.
The bills are passed through the running path 51.41.18 and sent to the discrimination section 16, where the bills are sequentially sent one by one.
The paper is subjected to authentication, front and back discrimination, running state detection, etc., and sent to the front and back arrangement mechanism 17 located at the rear via a running path.

Note that the banknotes stored in the denomination storages 44, 45, and 46 are processed to have their fronts and backs aligned when they are stored, so basically they are not sent to the front and back alignment mechanism 17 at this time. Transport at 9 towards the switching gate 23. By operating the switching gate 23, the banknotes are conveyed upward and reach the discharge port stacking section 21 via the running path 20, and are accumulated in the discharge port 14.

The above operation is repeated and when the number of 1,000 yen bills collected reaches the designated number (100), the next operation is to take out the 10,000 yen bills from the 10,000 yen bill storage 44 in the same manner as described above.

When the number of collected 10,000 yen tickets reaches the specified number (100),
The operation of the deposit/withdrawal device 5 is stopped.

In addition, during the collection operation, the number of sheets allowed to accumulate at the outlet (for example, 1
00 sheets), the collection operation is interrupted and the information is returned to the control section 4. The control section 4 displays "discharge port full" in a blank field on the display section 2 and instructs the withdrawal of banknotes from the discharge port.

When the banknotes are removed from the outlet, the collection operation is performed again.

When the last bill to be collected at the outlet is thus removed, the outlet collecting operation is completed.

Note that the processing of banknotes that are determined to be banknotes whose denomination cannot be determined or banknotes in poor running condition (skewed bills, two or more overlapping banknotes) as a result of the discrimination by the discrimination section 16 is as described above (a certain corresponding temporary holding section 29 .30.31.; (a) method of accumulating in the bulk/deposit temporary holding unit 28, which is the route of d;
Withdrawal reject banknote drop-in section 4 which is the route of [+]
In this method, the rejected banknotes are sent to the banknote banknote 0 and stored in the reject banknote storage 42.

Which of the three methods to adopt can be selected depending on the user's method of managing funds.

After completing the above processing, the deposit/withdrawal device 5 returns a response indicating completion of collection at the outlet, and adds the number of coins collected for each denomination as data.

Upon receiving this data, the control section 4 confirms that it matches the instructed number of sheets, and displays the total collection amount as shown in the 15th section.

In this example, a total of 1,100.00 yen of funds was collected.

If it is determined on this screen that the registration is valid, the function key FK36 (registration key), which instructs registration, is pressed. Upon receiving this, the control unit 4 counts and stores the number of collected sheets.

When the registration process is completed, the collected amount is printed by setting the slip in the printing unit 3.

The screen then returns to the idle screen shown in FIG.

In actual operation, each of the processes described above is performed in the following processing steps.

Prior to the start of business, banknotes that have been set in bulk/deposit storages from the source are loaded into storages for each denomination by performing a safe loading process.

After starting work, deposit transactions, withdrawal transactions, etc. are carried out as needed, and when the banknotes in the storage reach near-end or end, the insufficient banknotes are loaded by the input slot loading process,
Enables the continuation of withdrawal transaction operations.

Furthermore, when the banknotes in the storage are near full or full, the excess banknotes are collected through the discharge outlet collection process, allowing the continuation of deposit transactions and efficient use of funds.

At the end of the business, we will collect the safe,
Collect all banknotes in each denomination storage into the deposit storage and return all banknotes to the originator.

When managing these funds, be sure to manage the data,
At the time of scrutiny, cash and data are compared to ensure consistency. This data is the value of the counter explained in each process, and it is summarized in a table as shown in FIG. 18.

“Loading” in the table is the sum of safe loading and slot loading, and “
"Collection" is the sum of safe collection and outlet collection.

The values in the “Total” and “Total” columns are as described above.

This is the difference between the addition and subtraction results of the counter values during deposit, withdrawal, and collection processing, and it matches the sum of the banknotes stored in the rejected banknote storage at the time of withdrawal and the banknotes that were rejected because the denomination could not be determined at the time of collection. That's why.

In other words, the counting formula at the time of scrutiny is (loading 10 deposits (denomination identifier lump sum/deposit)) - (collection + withdrawal 10 deposits (lump lump/deposit) + reject) = 0.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, the coins of the specified denomination are automatically transferred to the bulk storage or transaction opening by instructions from the control II device that connects and controls the recirculation warrior withdrawal device. Since we have provided a means for collecting a specified number of coins and a means for collecting all the coins stored in a storage for each denomination, and a means for memorizing and calculating the number or amount, it is possible to collect the coins in the storage for each denomination. In order to automatically perform the cancellation process when the next transaction is not possible due to the storage of the deposit/withdrawal device being full, and when you want to use the money in the storage of the deposit/withdrawal device for another purpose, the operator's This can be expected to have the effect of reducing the workload and ensuring efficient use of funds.

In this embodiment, a bill depositing and dispensing device has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to a coin depositing and dispensing device since the same effect can be inferred by providing the same means.
