Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a banknote conveyance device, and particularly to a banknote conveyance test method suitable for a business transaction test using test banknotes.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, using genuine banknotes during online business transaction tests connected to a central processing unit in a banknote conveying device poses cash management problems, so testing has been limited to testing only. The company conducted the business transaction test by modifying the bank to handle test banknotes in the same way as genuine banknotes. However, there are problems in that the cost for carrying out the modification and the need to manage it. Incidentally, related devices of this type include, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59
-177680 is mentioned.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a business transaction test of a banknote conveying device using test banknotes without using genuine banknotes while connected to a central processing unit.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention is a banknote transport test method that eliminates the need for modification in order to use test banknotes during an online business transaction test in a banknote transport device connected to a central processing unit.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 below.

This will be explained with reference to FIG. Fig. 1 shows the configuration of the automated teller machine, Fig. 2 shows the format of the message sent from the automated teller machine to the central processing unit, and Fig. 3 shows an example of a screen display of a reply message from the central processing unit. . In FIG. 1, when the test banknote transport mode is instructed (switched) to the banknote transport mode switching control unit 7, the information is transmitted to the device control unit 5 and further transmitted to the banknote transport control unit 6. Thereafter, even if the banknotes handled by the device are test banknotes, the banknote conveyance control unit 6 performs the same operation as when handling genuine banknotes. On the other hand, in the test bill conveyance mode state, the operation control section 9
When a center connection operation (pressing the call open key) is performed on the device, a signal is transmitted to the device control unit 5, which notifies the line control unit 4 of the test banknote transport mode state, and then sends a call open request message to the central processing unit 1. instruct. The line control unit 4 is
The central processing unit 1 creates an opening request message in the format shown in the figure, recognizes that the bill conveyance mode in the device status information section 10 in the open request message is the test bill conveyance mode, and sends it to the automatic teller machine 3. On the other hand, it is checked whether an instruction is given from the input device 2 to the effect that business transactions are possible in the test banknote transport mode. If the central processing unit 1 determines that transactions are possible, the automated teller machine 6 can be used in a business transaction test by performing exactly the same operations as usual. If the central processing unit 1 determines that the transaction is not possible (the operation is not permitted in the test banknote transport mode), it sends screen display data shown in FIG. 6 to the automatic teller machine 3.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, by connecting the banknote conveyance device to the customer system, the system administrator can manage the business standard σ1 test using test banknotes all at once, and restrictions on the person conducting the test and the test location are lifted. . Furthermore, there is no need for special modification costs for transaction tests Ffl using test banknotes, which were conventionally carried out.
