Opening is detected by the opening / closing detection switch 18 provided in the refill collection cassette 21 and the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14, and the detected cassette door opening and closing history is held by the latch circuit formed in the electric circuit provided on the substrate in the cassette. .

Opening and closing of the safe door 29 in the window cash processor 1 of this embodiment is performed also when the control part 7 detects a jam during the conveyance of banknotes in each process except the above.

That is, the control part 7 monitors each conveyance time of the banknote which passes in order between the not-shown passage detection sensors provided in the conveyance path 24 during the conveyance of banknotes, When the conveyance time is equal to or greater than the predetermined jam determination time, the occurrence of the jam is determined to stop the drive by the conveyance unit 26, and the portion where the jam is detected is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 9.

When the person in charge of the window confirming this display or the person in charge of the maintenance is in the case where the occurrence of the jam is inside any one of the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14, the safe door 29 is opened and the safe unit 28 is pulled out and jams are taken. The generated deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 or another deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 is separated from the safe unit 28 as necessary.

Then, the person in charge of the window opens the cassette door 17 of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14, removes the jam bill and restores the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14, and closes the cassette door 17 after the recovery. The deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 is attached to the safe unit 28, and the safe unit 28 is attached to the teller machine 1 to close the safe door 29.

In addition, when the person in charge of the window or the like determines that the recovery of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 in which jam occurred is difficult, the cassette door 17 is opened in order to replace the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 in advance, and the deposit and withdrawal in which jam has occurred. The banknotes stored in the cassette 14 are changed and moved, the cassette door 17 of the spare deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 is closed, and the spare deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 and the other withdrawal and withdrawal cassette 14 are separated from the safe unit 28. ), And the safe unit (28) is attached to the teller machine (1) to close the safe door (29).

When the control part 7 detects the closing | closing after opening of the safe door 29 in this maintenance work by the safe door opening / closing sensor 31, the control part 7 performs the safe unit confirmation process mentioned later (FIG. 4). See

In addition, the opening of the cassette door 17 of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 or the preliminary withdrawal and cassette cassette 14 after restoration is detected by the opening and closing detection switch 18 provided in the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14, and the detected cassette door is opened and closed. The history is maintained by the latch circuit formed in the electric circuit provided on the substrate in the cassette. In the same manner as in the case where a jam occurs inside the refill collection cassette 21, a repair operation is performed.

As described above, the operation at the time of supplying the power to the window cash processor 1 or during the waiting, transaction processing, replenishment, recovery processing and generation of jams by the window cash processor 1 is performed. In the case, the control unit 7 uses the flowchart shown in Fig. 4 for the operation of the safe unit confirmation processing in the case where the safe door opening / closing detection sensor 31 detects the closing after the opening of the safe door 29. It demonstrates according to the step shown by S. FIG.

S1, the control unit 7 waits for the safe door opening and closing detection sensor 31 to detect the closing of the safe door 29 after the detection of the opening of the safe door 29 by the safe door opening and closing detection sensor 31. When the safe door open / close detection sensor 31 detects the closing of the safe door 29, it recognizes that the safe box unit 28 is attached and proceeds to Step S2. If the safe door open / close detection sensor 31 does not detect the closing of the safe door 29, the above-mentioned waiting is continued.

At this time, since the safe door 29 is already closed at the time of power-on, the control part 7 detects the close of the safe door 29 by the safe door opening / closing detection sensor 31, and transfers to step S2.

The controller 7 which has determined the mounting of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 and the refill collection cassette 21 by recognizing the attachment of the S2 and the safe unit 28 is, by the cassette information handling unit 32, the safe unit ( The cassette ID recorded in the recording section of each deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 attached to 28) and the cassette type and the history of opening and closing the cassette door held in the electrical circuit are read as cassette information, and the cassette recorded in the recording section of the replenishment collection cassette 21. The ID, the kind of gold (all kinds of gold) and the history of opening and closing the cassette door held in the electric circuit are read as cassette information.

In addition, when the non-mounted deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 or the refill collection cassette 21 is present, the mounting position thereof is recognized.

In addition, even when the safe door opening / closing detection sensor 31 detects the opening / closing of the safe door 29 for the replacement of the deposit / withdrawal cassette 14 (see step S7, etc.) and the like, during the execution of the safe unit confirmation processing. No cassette information is read out.

S3, the control unit 7 that reads the cassette information includes the cassette ID read out from all the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 except for the non-attachment, and the cassette ID of the pre-separation information stored in the pre-separation information storage area of the storage unit 8. Are compared for each mounting position, and if at least one cassette ID is inconsistent, the process proceeds to step S4. If the cassette IDs of all the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 coincide, the flow advances to step S8.

S4, the control unit 7 that recognizes the existence of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 with a mismatched cassette ID determines the occurrence of an ID mismatch error, recognizes all the mounting positions of the withdrawal and withdrawal cassette 14 with a mismatch, and simultaneously watches. The function recognizes the current date and time (including time, minute and second), and displays a code (in this step, a code indicating that there is an ID mismatch error) and a mounting position of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 in the following. The storage unit 8 generates error information composed of codes to be displayed and generates ID information, ID mismatch information as identifier mismatch information consisting of a recognized current date and time, a cassette ID of pre-separation information, and a read cassette ID. To preserve.

S5, the control unit 7 which stores the ID mismatch information corrects the cassette ID of the pre-separation information by correcting the cassette ID of the mounting position which became the mismatch of the pre-separation information storage area of the storage unit 8 with the read cassette ID. Change it.

S6, the control unit 7 which changed the cassette ID of the pre-separation information, displays the error screen shown in Fig. 5, which displays a word indicating an error occurrence, four-digit error information, and the like on the display screen of the operation display unit 9. do.

As shown in Fig. 5, the error information of the present embodiment indicates the type of error in which the first two digits have occurred (in this step, the ID mismatch error), and the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 in which the two digits at the rear generate an error. ) And the mounting position of the refill collection cassette 21 (in this step, the mounting position of the entry / exit cassette 14 in which the cassette ID is inconsistent), the type of error is indicated by numerals or alphabets or a combination thereof. In the mounting position, each bit of 8 bits is assigned to a mounting position of each of the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14, and so on, " 1 " for a mounting position where an error has occurred and " 0 " for a mounting position where no error has occurred. In this case, the mounting positions thereof can be displayed even when there are a plurality of deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 or the like which are formed by two-digit numbers or English letters or a combination thereof formed.

The control unit 7 which displays the S7 and the error screen is a case where the counter staff or the like replaces the mounting positions of the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 that have become inconsistent with IDs, or the spare deposit and withdrawal cassettes are used at the mounting positions where the tellers and the like have become inconsistent. (14), the counter staff or the like waits for pressing the reset button provided on the operation display unit 9 in order to resume transaction processing or the like in the case of reconfirmation of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 after the above-described replacement. If the terminal does not receive the push signal of the reset button, the above-described waiting is continued.

When the push signal of the reset button is received after the display of the error screen, the control unit 7 recognizes this as an instruction to release the error information, returns to step S2 via the connector A, and reads the cassette information again.

In this case, in the safe unit confirmation process of the present embodiment, since the cassette ID of the pre-separation information is rewritten in step S5, the person in charge at the window or the like has replaced the mounting position of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 that has become an ID mismatch. In this case, the ID mismatch error is determined again in step S3, and it is possible to urge the reconfirmation of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 after replacement, so that the mounting position of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 or the like is reliably returned to the correct position. In addition, it is possible to prevent the receipt and withdrawal cassette 14 from storing different types of banknotes.

In addition, when the preliminary deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 is attached to the mounting position where the counter staff or the like has become inconsistent, and in the case of reconfirmation of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 after the above-described replacement, all the cassette IDs match in step S3. Is determined, and transaction processing using the window cash processor 1 can be resumed.

As described above, in the case of the ID mismatch error, resumption of transaction processing and the like is possible in the present embodiment, as in the case of exchange with the preliminary deposit and withdrawal cassette 14. It is possible to resume transaction processing in the event of a loss and to improve the operating efficiency of the cashier 1, and even if a miscalculation occurs during the detailed inspection after the transaction is resumed, the ID mismatch information is stored. This is because it is possible to save the cause because it is stored in (8).

In step S3, in step S3, the control unit 7 that determines the coincidence of the cassette IDs of all the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 except for the unmounted is read by all the withdrawal and withdrawal cassettes 14 and the refill collection cassette 21 except for the unmounted. When the gold type and the gold type corresponding to the mounting position of the storage gold type setting information stored in the storage unit 8 are compared for each mounting position, when at least one gold type is inconsistent, the occurrence of the gold type mismatch error is determined to determine the step S9. Go to If all kinds of gold coincide, the process proceeds to step S11.

S9, the control unit 7 that determines the occurrence of the type mismatch error, the word indicating the occurrence of the error, and the type of error that is the type mismatch error configured in the same manner as in step S6 and the mounting position where the error occurred 4 An error screen displaying error information and the like displayed on a digit is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 9.

S10, the control unit 7 which displays the error screen presses the reset button provided on the operation display unit 9 to resume the transaction processing or the like after the person in charge of the window or the like checks the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 which has become a mismatch. Waits, and if the reset signal of the reset button is not received, the above-described waiting is continued.

When the push signal of the reset button is received after the display of the error screen, the control unit 7 recognizes this as an instruction to release the error information, returns to step S2 via the connector A, and reads the cassette information again.

In this case, in the case where a type mismatch error is again determined in step S8, an error screen is displayed again in step S9 in order to prompt confirmation again.

Thus, in the present embodiment, in the case of a paper type mismatch error, the resumption of transaction processing and the like is impossible: the gold paper set at the mounting position of the storing paper kind setting information, the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 mounted at the mounting position, and the like. This is because when the type of money is inconsistency, banknotes of a different kind of gold are set in the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 in the deposit processing or the like, and different kinds of money are sent out in the withdrawal transaction or the like, resulting in confusion during the transaction.

In step S11, in step S8, the control unit 7 that has determined the coincidence of all kinds of cash drawers 14 and the like except for the non-mounting is filled in the refill collection cassette ( 21 is checked, and if the refill collection cassette 21 is mounted, the process proceeds to step S14. If the refill number cassette 21 is not mounted, the occurrence of the refill number cassette not mounted error is determined, and the flow proceeds to step S12.

S12, the control unit 7 that has determined the occurrence of the error of no refilling cassette is displayed, the error screen displaying the word indicating the occurrence of the error, and error information indicating the type of the error that is the error of the refilling counting cassette not installed in four digits. Is displayed on the display screen of the operation display unit 9.

S13, the control unit 7 displaying the error screen waits for the counter staff to mount the replenishment collection cassette 21 which was not mounted, and then presses the reset button provided on the operation display unit 9 to resume transaction processing or the like. If the terminal does not receive the push signal of the reset button, the above-described waiting is continued.

When the push signal of the reset button is received after the display of the error screen, the control unit 7 recognizes this as an instruction to release the error information, returns to step S2 via the connector A, and reads the cassette information again.

In this case, if an error of not refilling the cassette having been refilled in step S11 is determined again, an error screen is displayed again in step S12 in order to prompt the mounting again.

As described above, in the case of an error in which no replenishment cassette is not installed, resumption of transaction processing or the like is impossible, and the replenishment cassette 21 is used to store banknotes that cannot be stored in the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 at all. This is because a reject section 22 for storing a withdrawal reject banknote or the like is provided, so that if the replenishment collection cassette 21 is not attached, the transaction processing becomes difficult.

In step S11, in step S11, the control unit 7 that determines the replenishment collection cassette 21 is attached to and checks the number of the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 mounted on the safe unit 28, so that If the number is 3 or more, the process proceeds to Step S17. If the number of the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 is less than three, that is, two or less, the occurrence of the withdrawal and cassette cassette shortage error is determined, and the flow proceeds to step S15.

S15, the control unit 7 that determines the occurrence of the deposit and withdrawal cassette shortage error, operates the error screen displaying a word indicating an error occurrence and error information indicating a four-digit type of the error which is regarded as the deposit and withdrawal cassette shortage error. It is displayed on the display screen of the display part 9.

S16, the control unit 7 which displays the error screen waits for the counter clerk or the like to wait for pressing the reset button provided on the operation display unit 9 to resume the transaction processing after the cashier cassette 14 is not mounted. If the reset signal of the reset button is not received, the above-described waiting is continued.

When the push signal of the reset button is received after the display of the error screen, the control unit 7 recognizes this as an instruction to release the error information, returns to step S2 via the connector A, and reads the cassette information again.

In this case, when the deposit and withdrawal cassette shortage error is determined again in step S14, an error screen is displayed again in step S15 in order to prompt installation again.

As described above, in the case of the deposit and withdrawal cassette shortage error, the resumption of transaction processing and the like is impossible, since the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 stores bank notes for each kind of gold, and if it is 2 or less, the paper types of the bank notes to be withdrawn. This is because the lack of this makes it difficult to execute transaction processing.

In the case where the number of the deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 is three or more, it is possible to resume transaction processing and the like, when the number of the withdrawal and withdrawal cassettes 14 is three or more, it is possible to execute withdrawal transactions and the like. When a failure occurs in the cassette 14, it is possible to resume the transaction processing and the like and to improve the operating efficiency of the window cash processor 1 even when the spare deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 is not prepared.

In step S14 and the step S14, the control unit 7 that determines the number of mounting and depositing cassettes 14 to 3 or more is determined by at least one of the cassette information of the read and exit cassettes 14 and the refill collection cassette 21. If there is a door opening and closing history, the flow proceeds to step S18. If the cassette door opening and closing history does not exist in all the cassette information, the process proceeds to step S24.

S18, the control unit 7 which recognizes the existence of the deposit / withdrawal cassette 14 and / or the replenishment collection cassette 21 which kept the cassette door opening / closing history determines the occurrence of the cassette door opening error, and maintains the cassette door opening / closing history. A code for recognizing all mounting positions of one deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 and the like, and also for recognizing the current date and time (including hour and minute) by the clock function and indicating the type of error (in this step, the cassette door opening error is Error information generated by a code indicating a mounting position of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14, the generated error information, the recognized current date and time, and a cassette ID of the withdrawal and withdrawal cassette 14, etc. The cassette door opening information consisting of the above is stored in the storage unit 8.

S19, the control unit 7 which stores the cassette door opening information erases the cassette door opening and closing history held by the cassette information handling unit 32 by outputting an electric signal to an electric circuit such as the entry / exit cassette 14 or the like. do.

The control part 7 which erased the cassette door opening / closing history held by S20 and the said cash-in / out cassette 14 etc. transfers to step S21 when the storage cassette in which the cassette door opening / closing history was maintained is only the replenishment collection cassette 21. . If the cassette door opening / closing history has been maintained in the entry / exit cassette 14, the flow proceeds to step S22.

S21 and the control unit 7 recognizing that the cassette door opening and closing history has been retained only in the refill collection cassette 21 confirms the processing currently being executed, and if it is not executing the replenishment processing or the collection processing, step S22. To fulfill. If the replenishment process or the retrieval process is being executed, the flow advances to step S24 to resume the transaction process and the like.

S22, the controller 7 recognizing that the cassette door opening / closing history is maintained in the deposit / withdrawal cassette 14, or that the replenishment process or the recovery process is not being executed, includes a statement indicating an error occurrence, and the same as in step S6. On the display screen of the operation display unit 9, an error screen displaying the type of error that constitutes the cassette door opening error configured by the method and the error information indicating the mounting position where the error occurred is displayed in four digits.

The control part 7 which displayed the S23 and the error screen is the case where the person in charge of the window checked the deposit / withdrawal cassette 14 in which the cassette door opening / closing history was maintained, and the deposit / withdrawal cassette 14 in which the cassette door opening / closing history was maintained. Is a cashier cassette 14 that opens and closes the cassette door 17 due to the removal of the jam bill, and waits for the counter staff to press the reset button provided on the operation display unit 9 to resume transaction processing. If the reset signal of the reset button is not received, the above-described waiting is continued.

When the push signal of the reset button is received after the display of the error screen, the control unit 7 recognizes this as an instruction to release the error information, returns to step S2 via the connector A, and reads the cassette information again.

In this case, in the safe unit confirmation processing of the present embodiment, since the cassette door opening and closing history is erased in step S19, it is determined in step S17 that the cassette door opening and closing history does not exist in all the cassette information, and the window cash processor ( Transaction processing using 1) can be resumed.

Thus, in the present embodiment, in the case of a cassette door opening error, resumption of transaction processing or the like is possible, such as the replenishment recovery cassette during the replenishment processing or the retrieval processing, or the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 after the maintenance work. When the environment for normal replenishment, retrieval, and transaction processing is established, transaction processing can be resumed, and the work efficiency of replenishment, retrieval, and repair can be improved. In order to improve the operation efficiency of the cassette, even if a miscalculation occurs at the time of detailed inspection after resumption of transaction processing or the like, since the cassette door opening information is stored in the storage unit 8, the cause of the cause can be determined. to be.

Recognizing that resumption of transaction processing and the like can be resumed by S24 and the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 attached to the safe unit 28 and the replenishment collection cassette 21, the control section 7 reads and exits the withdrawal cassette read in step S2. (14) and the cassette ID of the replenishment collection cassette 21 are stored and updated as pre-separation information in the pre-separation information storage area of the storage unit 8, and the vault unit confirmation processing is ended to transfer to execution of transaction processing or the like. do.

As described above, in the safe unit confirmation processing of this embodiment, a plurality of deposit and withdrawal cassettes 14 are provided with a recording unit for recording the cassette ID, and when the cassette ID of each deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 is read, When there is a deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 in which a cassette ID that does not coincide with a cassette ID is present, an ID mismatch error is determined, the ID mismatch information is stored, and the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 of the pre-separation information is stored. The cassette ID was rewritten with the read cassette ID, and when the error information release instruction by pressing the reset button was received after displaying the error screen, the cassette information was read again. It is possible to urge the reconfirmation of the mounting position of the coin, and to return the mounting position of the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 and the like to the correct position reliably, In the case where the set 14 can be prevented from storing other types of banknotes, and when there is an environment in which transactions can be normally processed, such as when the exchange is carried out with a preliminary deposit and withdrawal cassette 14, transaction processing, etc. Can be resumed, and the operation efficiency of the cashier 1 can be improved, and the mismatched information can be used to easily identify the cause of a miscalculation at the time of a close inspection. .

In addition, since the control unit 7 does not read the cassette information from the entry / exit cassette 14 or the replenishment collection cassette 21 until the control signal 7 receives the push signal of the reset button, the jam is not displayed. Even if the wrong deposit or withdrawal cassette 14 or the like is attached to the safe unit 28 with which the counter staff or the like is withdrawn, during the maintenance work of bills, during replenishment and collection of bills, or during an operation when an error occurs, an error screen is displayed. If this is not displayed, the transaction processing and the like can be resumed normally by returning to the correct deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 or the like before the reset button is pressed, thereby eliminating the inconvenience in each of the above operations and improving their work efficiency. have.

In addition, when an ID mismatch error or a cassette door opening error occurs in the deposit / exit cassette 14, the ID mismatch information and the cassette door opening information are stored in the storage unit. At the same time, it is possible to easily determine the cause of the cause, and to suppress illegal acts such as changing the deposit and withdrawal cassette 14 and stealing stored bills.

As described above, in the present embodiment, a plurality of deposit and withdrawal cassettes detachably attached to the safe deposit unit of the window cash processor are provided with recording units for recording the cassette ID, and the pre-separation information is stored in the cassette IDs read from each withdrawal cassette. When there is an entry / exit cassette in which a cassette ID with a cassette ID that does not match the cassette ID exists, the occurrence of an ID mismatch error is determined, and the type of the error, the cassette ID of the pre-separation information and the read cassette ID are stored as ID mismatch information. At the same time, the cassette ID of the entry / exit cassette of the pre-separation information is rewritten to the read cassette ID, the error information indicating the type of error and the mounting position of the entry / exit cassette is displayed, and the error information is pushed by pressing the reset button. When the release instruction is received, the cassette information is read again, so that the entry and exit cassettes can be loaded after replacement. By urging the position to be reconfirmed, it is possible to reliably return the mounting position of the deposit and withdrawal cassette to the correct position, to prevent the receipt of the different types of banknotes into the attached and withdrawal cassette, and to perform the transaction processing or the like normally. If the environment is established, transaction processing can be resumed, and the operating efficiency of the cashier can be improved. In addition, the identification of the cause of the occurrence of a miscalculation due to the ID mismatch information saved, etc. Can be performed easily.

At this time, in the above-described embodiment, it has been explained that four deposit and withdrawal cassettes are provided. However, as long as the number of withdrawal and withdrawal cassettes is three or more, any number may be used.

In addition, although the opening / closing detection switch provided in the deposit / withdrawal cassette was demonstrated as two in the said Example, as long as the number of opening / closing detection switches is one or more, you may be any number.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a teller machine is described as an example. However, any cash processor such as an automatic teller machine or a ticket machine can be detachably mounted. The same effect as the invention can be obtained.
