Description

  The present invention relates to a transaction processing apparatus such as an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) and an automatic bill review function when counting bills.

  Management of the number of banknotes in a banknote cassette is the most basic function in ATM. Normally, the number of banknotes is managed by adding the number stored in the deposit transaction to the number of banknotes initially loaded in the cassette, and subtracting the number fed out in the withdrawal transaction. However, the number managed is not always the same as the actual number due to the banknote being traded or the setting error of the number of loaded sheets. For this reason, a bill scrutiny function is widely used in which the number of banknotes in each cassette is conveyed and counted one by one to match the management number with the actual number.

As a conventional general technique for realizing banknote scrutiny, there is a method of using an empty cassette provided as an operation cassette. In this method, the bills are transported to the operation cassette while counting the bills from the cassette to be scrutinized, and after transporting all the bills of the cassette, the bills of the operation cassette are transported back to the original scrutiny target cassette, Counting of one scrutinized cassette is completed.
However, since the banknotes are conveyed one by one, there is a problem that it takes a long time to count the banknotes of all the scrutinized cassettes. To improve this, for example, a scrutinized cassette without providing an operation cassette A system has been proposed in which a cassette that can be opened and closed is installed to separate the inside of the cassette into two chambers, and bills are transported while counting from one room to the other, reducing the number of transports and shortening the required time. ing. (See Patent Document 1)

JP-A-10-214365

  In the conventional general technique, the transfer from the scrutiny target cassette to the operation cassette is reciprocated, so that the number of transports between the cassettes is twice the number of the scrutiny target cassettes, and there is a problem that the required time is long.

  On the other hand, in the method of Patent Document 1, since there is no operation cassette and reciprocal conveyance between cassettes is unnecessary, the time required for detailed examination is short. However, each cassette requires a separator mechanism that can be opened and closed, and also requires a feeding and storing mechanism for each of the two chambers separated by the separator, so that the apparatus is complicated and expensive. .

  An object of the present invention is to provide a technology capable of realizing a certain reduction in processing time even with a conventional general cassette mechanism, regardless of a complicated and expensive cassette mechanism.

  In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, a transaction processing apparatus according to the present invention is a transaction processing apparatus that conveys and carefully examines banknotes in a cassette, and stores a plurality of banknotes to be examined. A storage cassette; an empty cassette that does not store the banknote; a transport mechanism that transports the banknote between the storage cassette and the empty cassette; and a banknote stored in the storage cassette or the empty cassette. A control unit that causes the transport mechanism unit to transport to another cassette while counting, and the control unit transports banknotes stored in one of the plurality of storage cassettes to the empty cassette. Then, the bills of the other storage cassettes are fed out to the empty storage cassette after the bills are transferred to the empty cassette and counted by the transport mechanism while counting. Executing a first checking process of reviewing the bill by repeatedly conveyed to Tsu bets, characterized in that.

  Moreover, this invention is the banknote counting method performed with the said transaction processing apparatus.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a transaction processing device and a bill counting method capable of reducing the processing time even with a simple and inexpensive device, regardless of a device having a complicated and expensive bill cassette mechanism.

Below, although the case where the transaction processing apparatus and cash counting method concerning this invention are applied to ATM (Automated Teller Machine: automatic teller machine) is demonstrated, it has the function to convey and count banknotes. It can be applied to various devices. First, the configuration of the ATM 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the ATM 1 is a device that is installed in a financial institution and automatically executes various transactions such as cash deposits and withdrawals requested by customers. As shown in FIG. 2, the ATM 1 is mainly a financial machine operator operation unit 2, a general user operation unit 3, a card / detail slip mechanism unit 4, a passbook mechanism unit 5, a bill mechanism unit 6, a coin mechanism unit 7, and these A control unit 8 that controls each unit is included.

  The finance machine operator operation unit 2 is configured with, for example, a touch panel, and accepts various operations for setting and managing the ATM 1 from a staff member or a bank employee of the financial institution. For example, the finance machine operator operation unit 2 accepts operations for setting the banknote type of a banknote storage cassette (described later) and confirming the number of banknotes in the banknote storage cassette. The general user operation unit 3 is composed of, for example, a touch panel, and accepts various operations for performing transactions from customers. For example, the general user operation unit 3 displays a guidance screen or accepts an input operation such as a password or an amount. The card / detail slip mechanism unit 4 performs processing such as insertion and ejection of a customer's card, reading information from the card, and writing information to the card. Further, the card / detail slip mechanism unit 4 prints the transaction contents on the detail slip and discharges it from the apparatus. The passbook mechanism unit 5 has functions such as insertion and discharge of a customer's passbook, reading of magnetic data, and printing on a passbook page.

  The bill mechanism section 6 includes a bill storage cassette and has functions such as receipt, discharge, discrimination, conveyance, and storage of bills. As shown in FIG. 3, the banknote storage cassette is provided at the lower part of the banknote mechanism 6 and includes a recycle box (hereinafter referred to as RB) RB51, RB52, RB53, RB55, and a collection box 54. In the present embodiment, RB51, RB52, and RB53 are used as cassettes to be examined. Since RB55 is used as an operation cassette, it is empty. Moreover, the LED display part 56 is attached to each RB.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the LED display unit 56 includes a label 57 on which information such as a bill type is entered, and an LED lamp 58 associated with each label 57, and the lamp is activated by an instruction from the control unit 8. Illuminates to clearly indicate information such as RB banknote type. In the present embodiment, the LED display unit 56 is affixed with Japanese yen ten thousand bills, five thousand bills, one thousand yen bills, and labels 57 indicating operation cassettes, and any of the LED lamps under these displays. One of these lights up to indicate the role of the RB.

  The coin mechanism unit 7 has functions such as coin deposit / withdrawal, discrimination, conveyance, and storage. The control unit 8 is composed of a CPU, a memory, and the like, and controls the operation of each unit described above. The memory stores programs and data necessary for the ATM to operate.

  Next, the movement of ATM will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to F, FIGS. 6, 7, 8, 9A to 9I, and FIG.

  5A to F are image diagrams of an automatic scrutiny execution screen. First, the finance machine operator operation unit 2 of the ATM 1 displays the finance machine operator operation main menu screen (FIG. 5A)). When the press of the “management” button is received from the staff, the management menu screen (FIG. 5B)) is displayed. To do. Next, when accepting the selection of “automatic review” on the management menu screen (FIG. 5B)), the operation unit 2 displays a cassette information confirmation screen (FIG. 5C) before automatic review. In this screen, after the clerk confirms the banknote type and the number of RB1, RB2, and RB3, when the operation unit 2 accepts pressing of “next”, an execution means selection screen (FIG. 5D)) is displayed.

  On this screen, there are two buttons, “General (no bill compatibility in each cassette)” and “High speed (with bill compatibility in each cassette)”. “General (no banknote compatibility in each cassette)” refers to banknote scrutiny based on the conventional general method of transporting banknotes to the operation cassette and then returning them to the original scrutiny cassette while counting them. It is a button to do. In the present embodiment, the operation unit 2 accepts a selection of “high speed (with banknote compatibility in each cassette)” from an attendant. When the operation unit 2 accepts the pressing of “Next”, a screen for detailed examination (FIG. 5E)) is displayed, and a detailed examination operation is started. After finishing the examination, the end screen (FIG. 5F)) is displayed. On this screen, after the clerk confirms the bill type and the number of the cassette after the scrutiny, the operation unit 2 accepts pressing of “END”. Thus, since the implementation means selection screen is displayed on the operation unit 2, the clerk can change the speed according to the environment where the ATM is installed, and can execute the banknote scrutiny process. For example, if an ATM is installed in a busy place such as a downtown area and has a cassette that can store a large amount of banknotes according to the environment, the “high speed (each If you have a cassette that is installed in a place where there is little traffic and can store a small amount of banknotes, select `` General (within each cassette) '' The “no banknote compatibility” function may be selected and executed.

  FIG. 6 is an image diagram of LED display before and after automatic scrutiny. Here, a) Before carrying out the automatic scrutiny, the operation unit 2 must store 10,000 yen bills in RB1, 5,000 yen bills in RB2, 1000 yen bills in RB3, and RB5 as an operational cassette. Are indicated by LEDs. And b) After the automatic scrutiny, the operation unit 2 changes so that RB1 stores 5,000 yen bills, RB2 stores 1000 yen bills, and RB3 stores 10,000 yen bills. Indicates that this is an operational cassette. Thus, by displaying the LED corresponding to the type of banknote stored in the cassette, the clerk can easily recognize the type of banknote stored in the cassette. Moreover, even after banknote scrutiny, the type of banknote stored in the cassette after scrutiny can be easily recognized.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the transport control table. A conveyance control table is a table which describes the cassette which performs conveyance processing in a banknote scrutiny processing, and its order. The list order 201 is a numerical value indicating the order of the transport process. The transport source 201 is a transport source cassette in each transport process. The transfer destination 203 is a transfer destination cassette in each transfer process. In the banknote scrutiny process, first, according to the description of this table, a banknote is first conveyed from RB1 to the operation cassette. Second, banknotes are conveyed from RB2 to RB1. Third, banknotes are conveyed from RB3 to RB2. And finally, a banknote is conveyed from operation cassette to RB3.

  The control unit 8 displays on the LED display unit 56 a label 57 indicating the type of banknote stored in the cassette corresponding to the logical cassette and an LED lamp indicating that the banknote identified by the label 57 is stored. When the banknote automatic scrutiny process is performed, the banknotes of the type stored in the logical cassette corresponding to the cassette of the transfer source and the cassette of the transfer destination stored in the cassette management table described later are stored. The LED lamp which shows that is turned on.

  FIG. 8 is a cassette management table. This table is provided in order to manage the state of banknotes of the cassette to be examined before and after the examination because the bill type of the cassette to be examined changes. A physical cassette 207 indicates a cassette to be examined (RB1 to RB3). A logical cassette 208 indicates a logical cassette that can be recognized by the system for each physical cassette. Here, it is defined that there are three logical cassettes LG1 to LG3. A bill type 209 is a bill type stored in each logic cassette. The number 210 is the number of each bill type.

  Here, a) RB1 before scrutiny is the logical cassette LG1, the stored banknote type is 10,000 yen bill, the number of banknotes is 578, and similarly RB2 is the logical cassette LG2 and the stored banknote type is 5,000 yen bill, The number of sheets is 351, RB3 is the ethics cassette LG3, the stored banknote type is a thousand yen bill, and the number of sheets is 430. And b) After scrutiny, RB1 is LG2 which stores 5,000 yen bills, the number changes to 350, and similarly RB2 is LG3 which stores 1000 yen bills, 430 sheets, RB3 is 10,000 yen This indicates that the number of sheets is changed to 580 in LG1 storing the bills.

  9A to 9I are image diagrams showing the state of conveyance of banknotes during scrutiny in the banknote mechanism. FIG. 9A shows a state before scrutiny. FIGS. 9B and 9C are states during and after conveyance of banknotes from RB1 to operation cassette RB5. 9D and 9E are states during and after the banknote conveyance from RB2 to RB1. FIGS. 9F and 9G are states during and after conveyance of banknotes from RB3 to RB2. 9H and 9I are states during and after the banknote transport from the operation cassette RB5 to RB3.

  FIG. 10 is an operation flowchart of the program stored in the memory of the control unit 8. First, the control unit 8 creates a transport control table (FIG. 7) (step 101). What kind of content (banknote transport order) is described in the transport control table is predetermined. Next, the control unit 8 creates a cassette management table (FIG. 8b) after examination based on the created transport control table (FIG. 7) (step 102). In this table, the number 210 of each logical cassette is blank at the time of step 102.

  Next, the control unit 8 acquires the first transport process from the transport control table (FIG. 7) (step 103), and determines whether or not the transport destination of the acquired transport process is the operation cassette ( Step 104). When the transport destination is the operational cassette, the control unit 8 transports the banknote from the transport source cassette to the transport destination cassette in accordance with the transport process acquired in Step 103 (Step 105).

  In step 103, if the transport destination is not an operational cassette, the control unit 8 transports the banknote from the transport source cassette to the transport destination cassette while counting the number of banknotes in accordance with the transport processing acquired in step 103 (step 106). The counted number of banknotes is recorded in the number 210 of the transport destination physical cassette in the cassette management table (FIG. 8).

  After Step 105 or Steps 106 and 107, the control unit 8 deletes the relevant conveyance process from the conveyance control table (FIG. 7) (Step 108). The control unit 8 confirms whether or not all the transport processes have been deleted in this way (step 109). If all the transport processes have not been deleted, the control unit 8 returns to step 103 to perform the next transport process. If all the conveyance processes have been deleted, the controller 8 next performs an LED lighting process (step 110). The lighting state after scrutiny is shown in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the number of conveyances between the cassettes can be four, which is the number of conveyance processes in the conveyance control table (FIG. 7). Since the number of conveyances in the case of the banknote scrutiny process based on the conventional general method is 6, the number of conveyances can be reduced and the time required for banknote scrutiny can be shortened.

  In this way, in this embodiment, the types of banknotes managed by each cassette are not fixed and can be stored in any cassette. As a banknote scrutiny procedure, first, banknotes are transferred from the first scrutinization target cassette to the operation cassette. Transport. The first scrutinized cassette that is empty is conveyed while counting bills from the second scrutinized cassette. Similarly, the bills are transported from the third scrutinization target cassette while counting to the second scrutinization target cassette. In this way, after the banknotes of all the scrutinization target cassettes are transported, the banknotes are transported while being counted from the operation cassette to the scrutinization target cassette that is finally empty. As a result, the processing is completed in a state where all banknotes are moved from the original cassette to the adjacent cassette. And since the kind of banknote managed with the said cassette changes, the table which manages the correspondence of a physical cassette and the logical cassette for every banknote type is provided. The contents of this table can always be displayed and confirmed on the ATM staff screen or the LED display provided on the device.

  By adopting the system as described above, even in a simple and inexpensive apparatus compatible with the conventional general technique, the number of conveyances between cassettes for banknote scrutiny can be reduced as compared with the conventional general technique. That is, according to the present embodiment, the processing time is reduced even if the apparatus is simple and inexpensive regardless of the apparatus having the complicated and expensive banknote cassette mechanism, compared with the banknote scrutiny by the conventional general technique. Can be shortened. Furthermore, since the types of banknotes managed by each cassette change in order each time banknotes are scrutinized, even if there are variations in withdrawals and deposits due to the types of banknotes, the operation of each cassette The number of times can be leveled, and the effect of eliminating variations in wear of parts such as rollers can be obtained.

(Example 2)
In the second embodiment, a scrutiny process in the case of storing a specific type of banknote in a dedicated RB will be described. In this embodiment, banknotes stored in a dedicated RB do not move to other RBs before and after the scrutiny process, and the processing time is shortened by reducing the number of conveyances for other types of banknotes. Plan. Here, 10,000 yen bills are stored in RB1 and RB2, and thousand yen bills are stored in RB3, and RB3 is a cassette dedicated to thousand yen bills. Since the ATM configuration is the same as that in FIGS. 1 to 4 in the first embodiment, a description thereof will be omitted. Next, with reference to FIGS. 11A to 15K, the movement of the ATM in the second embodiment will be described.

  11A to 11G are image diagrams of an automatic scrutiny execution screen. 11A to 11D are the same as FIGS. 5A to 5D in the first embodiment. However, the banknote types of RB1, RB2, and RB3 displayed in FIG. 5C are 10,000 yen bills for RB1 and RB2, and thousand yen bills for RB3. When the operation unit 2 accepts pressing of “Next” on the execution means selection screen (FIG. 11D)), an option mode selection screen (FIG. 11E)) is displayed. In this screen, the “all cassette bill compatible” button is used to perform a scrutiny process when all scrutiny cassettes are not dedicated to specific types of bills, as in the first embodiment. Is. In the present embodiment, the operation unit 2 accepts a selection of “target designation without banknote compatibility”. Then, the operation unit 2 accepts pressing of “RB3” from the adjacent three buttons, and the control unit 8 instructs that the RB3 is a dedicated cassette that does not allow other banknote types to be stored. Next, when the operation unit 2 accepts the pressing of “execute”, a screen for reviewing (FIG. 11F)) is displayed, and the screening operation starts. After completion of the detailed examination, an end screen (FIG. 11G) is displayed. After confirming the type and number of bills in the post-scrutiny cassette on this screen, the operation unit 2 accepts pressing of “END”.

  FIG. 12 is an image diagram of LED display before and after automatic scrutiny. Here, a) Before the automatic scrutiny, RB1 and RB2 both store 10,000 yen bills, RB3 stores thousand yen bills, and RB5 indicates an operational cassette. And b) After carrying out automatic scrutiny, the LED display state of each cassette does not change, indicating that it is the same as before implementation.

  FIG. 13 is a transport control table. The purpose and configuration of this table are the same as those of the transport control table (FIG. 7) in the first embodiment. In the bill scrutiny processing of this embodiment, according to the description of this table (FIG. 13), the bill is first transported from the RB 3 to the operation cassette. Secondly, banknotes are conveyed from the operation cassette to RB3. Third, banknotes are transported from RB1 to the operation cassette. Fourth, banknotes are conveyed from RB2 to RB1. Finally, banknotes are conveyed from the operation cassette to RB2. Thus, since RB3 is set not to permit storage of other banknote types by the control unit 8, the banknotes stored in RB3 reciprocate between RB3 and the operation cassette (transported twice). ), However, the banknotes stored in RB1 and RB2 have the number of conveyance processes of three as in the first embodiment.

  FIG. 14 is a cassette management table. The purpose and configuration of this table are the same as those of the cassette management table (FIG. 10) in the first embodiment. Here, a) RB1 before the scrutiny is the logical cassette LG1, the stored banknote type is 10,000 yen bill, the number of banknotes is 578, and similarly RB2 is the logical cassette LG2, the stored banknote type is 10,000 yen bill, The number of sheets is 351, RB3 is the ethics cassette LG3, the stored banknote type is a thousand yen bill, and the number of sheets is 430. And b) After the scrutiny, RB1 is LG2 that stores 10,000 yen bills, the number changes to 350 sheets, and RB2 is LG1 that stores 10,000 yen bills, and the number changes to 580 sheets. Show. RB3 is the same LG3 that stores a thousand yen bill as before the scrutiny, and the number of sheets remains 430, indicating that it has not changed.

  FIGS. 15A to 15K are image diagrams showing the state of conveyance of banknotes during scrutiny in the banknote mechanism. FIG. 15A shows a state before scrutiny. 15B and 15C are states during and after conveyance of banknotes from RB3 to the operation cassette. FIGS. 15D and 15E are states during and after conveyance of the banknote from the operation cassette to RB3. 15F and 15G are states during and after conveyance of banknotes from RB1 to the operation cassette. FIGS. 15H and 15I are states during and after conveyance of banknotes from RB2 to RB1. 15J and 15K are states during and after conveyance of banknotes from the operation cassette to RB2.

  Since the operation flowchart (FIG. 10) and the contents of each step in the flowchart are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted here. In the present embodiment, the number of times of conveyance between the cassettes can be five, which is the number of times of conveyance processing in the conveyance control table (FIG. 13). Since the number of conveyances in the case of the banknote scrutiny processing based on the conventional general method is 6, the number of conveyances can be reduced by 1 and the required time can be shortened.

  In this way, in this embodiment, even if it is controlled to store a specific type of banknote in a dedicated RB and not move to another RB before and after the scrutiny process, Similarly, for other types of banknotes, it is possible to reduce the processing time by reducing the number of times of conveyance.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, one type of banknote is stored in one RB. However, for example, a banknote that can store a plurality of types of banknotes in one RB is used. It is also possible to reduce the number of conveyances during scrutiny. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16A, RB1 and RB2 are DRBs (Dual RBs) capable of storing a plurality of denominations (two denominations in FIG. 16A). When banknotes of a plurality of (or the same type) denominations are stored in the storage units RB11 and RB12, RB21 and RB22, first, as shown in FIG. After the denominated banknotes are transported to the operation cassette, the banknotes stored in RB21 are transferred to the cassette in which RB11 is empty as shown in FIG. 16C. It is good also as carrying out banknote and performing a banknote scrutiny processing. At this time, as shown in FIG. 17, the transport control table designates RB11 and RB21 as the transport source and transport destination in response to RB1 and RB2 becoming DRB.

  In this way, by using DRB (or a cassette that can store two or more denominations in one housing) as a cassette, it is possible to store more denominations of banknotes or to increase a certain type of banknotes. It can be stored. Further, when the denomination is constant, the number of cassettes can be reduced, so that it is possible to perform the banknote scrutiny processing as in the first embodiment in a space-saving manner.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to an above-described Example, Various modifications are included. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. In addition, a part of the configuration of each of the embodiments can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of a certain embodiment. Further, it is possible to add, delete, and replace other configurations for a part of the configuration of each embodiment.
