1 is an exemplary view schematically showing a financial device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a financial device 1 according to the present invention may include a recognition unit 10, a control unit 20, a storage box 30, and a transfer unit 40. In addition, the financial device may further include a detection means (60: 60a, 60b), a branching means 70, and a media entry/exit unit 80.

The recognition unit 10 recognizes an input medium to generate recognition information, and transmits the generated recognition information to the control unit 20 . Here, the recognition unit 10 may perform media recognition even when the medium stored in the storage box 30 is withdrawn, and may create recognition information and transmit it to the control unit 20 .

The recognition unit 10 can recognize elements such as the type and condition of the medium, codes recorded on the medium, and characters. Specifically, when the medium is a bill, the recognition unit 10 can recognize the bill type of the bill, whether it is a bad bill, and whether it is a counterfeit bill, and recognizes matters such as the serial number recorded on the bill, the amount of the bill, and the bill type, , It can be written as recognition information and transmitted to the control unit 20. Here, the information recognized by the recognizer 10 may vary depending on the type of medium. In addition, the medium in the present invention can be understood as having value used for financial transactions, and may be representatively such as banknotes, checks, securities, and gift certificates.

To this end, the recognition unit 10 is located on the medium transfer path and can recognize the medium introduced through the medium input/output unit 80 and transported inside or the medium transferred from the storage box 30 to the medium input/output unit 80. there is. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the recognition unit 10 senses a medium inputted through the medium input/output unit 80 and transferred to the storage box 30, and the description will proceed.

The recognizing unit 10 includes a means for emitting light such as ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, and visible light to recognize the medium, a photographing means for scanning or photographing an image of the medium, and a process for recognizing the medium by analyzing the image obtained by the photographing means. Means can be provided. In addition, the recognition unit 10 may include sensors such as an optical sensor, a contact sensor, and a magnetic sensor for detecting a medium.

The control unit 20 performs a series of processes related to the operation of financial instruments and the input and output of media, and for this purpose controls the functions of the recognition unit 10, storage box 30, and transfer unit 40. Specifically, the control unit 20 designates the storage location of the medium recognized by the recognition unit 10, moves the medium, and checks whether the medium is put into the designated storage box. In addition, the control unit 20 performs control to correct the storage/record or discharge the inserted medium when the erroneously loaded medium is confirmed. In addition, the control unit 20 checks the operation of the conveying unit 40 and performs follow-up measures when a medium is incorrectly inserted. Here, a detailed description of other functions of the control unit 20 will be omitted, and description will be made focusing on functions related to the present invention. That is, functions not described for the control unit 20 may be understood as performing functions of a known financial device.

A specific function of the control unit 20 will be described in more detail below with reference to other drawings.

The storage box 30 stores media. A plurality of storage boxes 30 are provided, and the plurality of storage boxes 30 may be classified according to functions. When the storage boxes 30 are classified according to their functions, the configuration, shape, size, and installation location of each storage box 30 may vary. For example, the storage box 30 may be divided into a media storage box 31 (31a to 31e), a collection box 32, and a temporary accumulation unit 33. The classification of the storage box 30 is for convenience of description and does not limit the present invention only by what is suggested as being different depending on the financial device. In addition, the role and arrangement of the boxes 31, 32, and 33 included in the storage box 30 are assumed for explanation, and this also does not limit the present invention by the bar presented.

The media storage box 31 is installed inside the financial device to store input media and discharge the stored media. The medium storage boxes 31 (31a to 31e) may be configured in plural. As for the media stored in the plurality of media storage boxes 31, the media classified by the control unit 20 according to predetermined standards may be stored respectively. This criterion may be the type of medium and, in the case of banknotes, the denomination of banknotes.

The media storage box 31 stores media and discharges the stored media under the control of the control unit 20 . To this end, the media storage box 31 may include a storage space for storing media and an entry/exit device for inserting or discharging media into the storage space.

The collection box 32 may be used for temporary storage when media is replenished in a financial device or when media filled in a financial device is retrieved, or may be used as a place to store defective media identified in the process of loading and unloading media. When the collection box 32 is used for replenishment and collection of media, it may be used in the process of replenishment or withdrawal by a manager managing a financial device. In this case, the medium stored in the recovery box 32 is moved to the designated media storage box 31 when replenishment or collection is in progress without using the media input/output unit 80 provided in the main body of the financial device, and replenished, and the media storage box 31 The recovery process may be performed by moving the media stored in ) to the collection box 32.

To this end, a plurality of collection boxes 32 may be configured, and may be detachably installed from financial instruments. When a plurality of recovery boxes 32 are configured, they may be configured for each purpose for storing defective media, recovering media, and replenishing media, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The temporary accumulator 33 serves as a space where media can temporarily stay inside the financial device. That is, when a plurality of media is loaded into the medium input/output unit 80 and processing by the recognition unit 10 is delayed, media waiting for recognition may be stored in the temporary accumulation unit 33 . Alternatively, when a malfunction or operation delay of the transfer unit 40 or the storage box 30 occurs in the process of inserting or discharging the medium, the medium may be temporarily stored in the temporary accumulation unit 33 .

The transfer unit 40 is provided for the movement of media within a financial device. The transfer unit 40 forms a plurality of transfer paths 41 between the media input/output unit 80, the recognition unit 10, and the storage box 30 by structures such as a motor, a roller, and a guide. The transfer unit 40 serves to transport the medium to a designated location by operating under the control of the control unit 20 when inputting, discharging, replenishing, or recovering the medium.

In particular, the transfer path 41 formed by the transfer unit 40 may be configured so that the medium passes through the recognition unit 10 . Here, although FIG. 1 shows a transfer path 42 in which the path from the temporary accumulation unit 33 to the media entry/exit unit 80 does not pass through the recognition unit 10, this is presented as an example. The operation of the transfer path 42 that does not pass through the recognition unit 10 is restricted to be performed only under limited conditions, thereby preventing problems or financial accidents due to internal transfer of unrecognized media.

In addition, the transfer path 41 formed by the transfer unit 40 may be composed of a plurality of paths, and a plurality of branch paths 43 diverging from one path to a destination, for example, the media storage box 31. can include

A plurality of sensing means 60 and a branching means 70 may be provided in the path formed by the transfer unit 40 .

As for the sensing means 60, only the sensing device 60b in the direction of the inlet of the recognition unit 10 and the sensing device 60a in the direction of the outlet are shown, but a plurality of them are installed on the transfer path 41. In addition, it may be installed in places such as the inside of the input space of the medium input/output unit 80 and the inside of the storage space of the storage box. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it will be described assuming that the sensing device is installed on the transfer path. However, if a series of processing processes are performed by detecting a medium in a device other than the transfer path, it should be understood that the detecting device is installed to sense the medium, even if the installation of the detecting device is not mentioned.

The sensing means 60 detects the medium moving along the transport path 41 and serves to deliver the sensing result to the control unit 20 . To this end, the sensing means 60 may be composed of a sensing device that senses the medium using a method such as optical, magnetic, or contact. For example, a sensing device using optics may detect a medium by emitting and receiving light on a path and confirming that the light emitted by the medium is not received.

The branching means 70 is installed on the transfer path 41 and serves to change the path. For example, when the transfer path 41 has a branching path 43, a branching means 70 is installed between the transfer path and the branching path 43 to connect or disconnect the branching path 43 and the transfer path 41. can work for This branching unit 70 operates under the control of the control unit 20 . For example, the branching means generates magnetic force by power, and may be configured to include a guide plate that is closed or opened by magnetic force, but may be configured using other well-known branching means.

The branching means 70 can transmit a response signal according to control or power supply to the control unit 20 . For example, the branching unit 70 may transmit a response signal to the control unit 20 when receiving a check signal indicating whether the operation is normal from the control unit 20 . This response signal is an electrical signal that can be generated when the operation is performed by operating by the inspection signal, and may be a conduction signal generated when the electrical contact is normally made. In addition, the check signal may be a signal that is confirmed by the branching means 70 and responds thereto, and the response signal may vary depending on the configuration of the branching means 70.

2 is an exemplary diagram for explaining designation of a medium and an index.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the control unit 20 of the present invention assigns an index to each medium recognized by the recognition unit 10 . In addition to the purpose of classifying media and simply recording the storage location, the index is used to check the location of media stored in the media storage box 31, collection box 32, and temporary accumulation unit 33 of the storage box 30, check the quantity, and related to media. Used to check for errors.

To this end, the index may include information specifying the storage location of the medium in addition to information for classifying the medium. In addition, the control unit 20 checks errors and mistransfers by using stored information calculated separately for each index and storage box 30 .

As an example, FIG. 2 shows media storage boxes 31a and 31b, media 2 and 2a, and index information I1 and I2.

Index information (I1, I2) can be given for each medium (2, 2a).

First, when the recognition unit 10 confirms the type of medium, the control unit 20 describes the type (a, b, c) of the medium in the index information. Then, information on the medium storage boxes 31a and 31b to be stored for each type of medium (a, b, and c) is checked from previously stored setting information. In FIG. 2 , it is assumed that media types are classified as a, b, and c, and media storage boxes 31a and 31b are classified as A, B, and C.

When the media storage boxes 31a and 31b in which the recognized media 2 and 2a are to be stored are identified, the control unit 20 converts the storage location information, which is information about the storage media storage boxes 31a and 31b, to the index information I1 and I2. ) included in

Also, the control unit 20 checks the number of media 2 and 2a previously stored in each media storage box 31a and 31b and writes the storage order in the index information I1 and I2.

Index information (I1, I2) created for each medium in this way can be divided into 'aA1 to aA6', 'bB1 to bB3', and 'aA7' as shown in FIG.

Through this, it can be confirmed that 6 sheets of type a media are stored in the first storage box 31a and 3 pieces of type b media are stored in the second storage box 31b.

The control unit 20 can check errors and mistransfers by comparing the items checked for each medium storage box 31a and 31b by the index information I1 and I2 with stored information. Stored information may be calculated for each of the media storage box 31, collection box 32, and temporary accumulation unit 33 of the storage box 30. This storage information can be calculated by a value detected when the control unit 20 sends a specific medium to the designated media storage box 31, collection box 32, and temporary accumulation unit 33, or transfers it to another configuration from these. there is.

For example, in the case of the second medium storage box 31 of FIG. 2 , type b media should be stored, but it can be confirmed that type a media is included. In this case, it is written that 4 sheets are stored in the storage information of the second storage box 31b, and in the case of the first storage box 31a, it is recorded that 6 sheets are stored in the storage information.

However, the control unit 20 records that 7 media have been transmitted to the first storage box 31a and 3 media to the second storage box 31b through the index information I1 and I2. That is, the control unit 20 can check whether there is an erroneously delivered bill by checking the index information I1 and I2 and the storage information of the first and second storage boxes 31a and 31b. In addition, by checking the detection result by the sensing unit 60, it is also possible to check which number of media was not put into the destination storage box 31a but into another storage box 31b. More specifically, the control unit 20 stores the time required for media transfer by the transfer unit 40 to each media storage box 31, collection box 32, and temporary accumulation unit 33 or from them to another device. do. That is, when the control unit 20 transfers the 'aA7' medium to the first storage box 31a, the sensing means 60 provided at the inlet of the first storage box 31a detects the 'aA7' medium after the elapse of the previously stored time. A signal must be delivered to the control unit 20. However, if the detection result is not transmitted from the detection means 60 installed in the first storage box 31a within the required time and the detection result is transmitted from the other storage box 31b, it is possible to check which storage box the erroneously delivered medium was transferred to.

In this way, it can be confirmed that aA7 is stored in another storage box 31b.

When the erroneously delivered medium is identified, the control unit 20 corrects index information to correct 'aA7' to 'aB3'. In addition, the control unit 20 can perform post-processing such as recording information such as the location of the erroneously delivered media, the order of accumulation, and the total amount of the storage box, or transmitting the information to a manager. Also, at this time, the control unit 20 may include information indicating that the medium is stored in the wrong location in the index information of the erroneously delivered medium.

Here, the index information (I1, I2) is presented as an example. That is, the form of the index information I1 and I2 may be changed according to user convenience in addition to the presented form, and another notation such as binary number may be used, for example. In addition, although FIG. 2 shows an example of describing the storage location, media type, and storage order of the media storage boxes 31a and 31b, the information included in the index information I1 and I2 and the display method can also be changed.

3 is an exemplary view for explaining failure response.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the financial device according to the present invention determines whether a normal operation is possible when misdelivery of media occurs, and determines a subsequent operation method according to the determination result.

To this end, the financial device according to the present invention proceeds with a process for confirming whether misdelivery of media is due to a failure. This process can be confirmed by moving the actual medium, or a method of supplying a check signal to the branching means 70 and checking the response thereto can be used.

Specifically, the control unit 20 may move the actual medium to check whether the same problem occurs again. To this end, as shown in FIG. 2, when the media to be transferred to the first storage box 31a is transferred to the second storage box 31b, the controller 20 transfers one medium from the first storage box 31a back to the first storage box. The process of transferring to (31a) proceeds. That is, the operation of the transfer path 41 and the branching path 43 is checked by using the medium aA3 stored in the second storage box 31b due to misdelivery is originally stored in the storage box 31a. Through this, when the medium discharged from the first storage box 31a is put back into the first storage box 31a, it is determined to be a temporary error, and when it is transferred to the second storage box 31b, it is determined to be a failure.

For confirmation using the inspection signal, a process of checking the operation of the branching means 70 for determining the path to the media storage box 31, the collection box 32, and the temporary accumulation unit 33 where an erroneous delivery occurred is performed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the branching means 70 is disposed at a position where the transfer path 41 and the branching path 43 can be switched so as to change the moving path of the medium. The branching means 70 includes a guide 72 for changing the direction of the medium into the conveying path 41 or the branching path 43, a power unit 73 for operating the guide 72, and a driving device 73. It may be configured to include a driver 73 for supplying a signal or power for driving.

The power unit 73 may use a motor such as a step motor or a device such as a solenoid.

The driver 73 converts a control signal from the control unit 20 into power or a signal for driving the power unit 73, and may be implemented by a device such as a microcontroller or a relay.

Here, the branching means 70 shown in Figure 3 is not limited to the present invention by the bar presented as an example, and the branching means 70 may be configured through other known devices.

The controller 20 transmits a check signal con for confirming normal operation to the branching means 70. This check signal con may be a driving signal capable of operating the guide 72 or a signal allowing the driver 73 to perform fault diagnosis. In the case of supplying a drive signal to the check signal con, the control unit 20 may transfer only the drive signal to the driver 73 without transferring the medium.

The driver 73 generates a response signal ack in response to the check signal con and transmits it to the control unit 20 . This response signal ack may be a signal generated by the power unit 73 or the driver 73 when it is normally operated according to the check signal con or the driving signal. That is, it may be a voltage or current signal that can be obtained when power is supplied to the power unit 73 and normally operates.

Alternatively, it may be a response signal created by the driver 73 after the driver 73 proceeds with a predetermined inspection process according to the inspection signal.

When it is confirmed whether or not normal operation is possible by this method, the control unit 20 then determines and operates the operating method of the financial device according to whether or not the normal operation is possible. This will be described in more detail with reference to other drawings below.

4 is an exemplary view showing an example of a financial device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the financial instrument according to the present invention may be composed of a main body 1 and devices accommodated inside the main body 1 . That is, the recognition unit 10, the control unit 20, the storage box 30, the detection means 60 and the branching means 70 may be provided inside the main body 1.

The medium input/output unit 80 is also accommodated inside the main body 1 and may be configured to be partially exposed to the outside of the main body 1 or exposed by an opening/closing means 11 such as a shutter.

The media entry/exit unit 80 may include an accumulation space for customers to input or retrieve media, and the accumulation space may be opened and closed by a shutter or a cover.

In addition, the main body 1 may be provided with an inlet 14 for inserting books such as bankbooks according to the purpose of use, and a device capable of printing on the books or reading the books may be provided inside the main body 1. In addition, a card inlet 15 capable of inserting an IC card or a magnetic card is provided, and a device for processing the card may be provided inside.

Meanwhile, the main body 1 may be provided with a cassette porter 13 that can access the collection box 32 and the temporary collection box 33 . A collection box 32 or a temporary collection box 33 may be coupled to the cassette porter 13, and may be configured to be opened and closed only by a manager. Through this, when the collection box 32 is filled with defective media or media discharged from the storage box, the manager can recover them from the main body 1.

In addition, a door 9 may be provided at the lower part of the main body 1 to access the media storage box 31 and repair and management of the internal device.

5 is a flowchart briefly illustrating the operation process of a financial device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, the operating process of the financial device according to the present invention includes a medium input step (S10), a medium recognition step (S20), an index assignment step (S30), an error detection step (S40), and a normal operation possibility determination step. (S50, S60) and a post-processing step (S70). Hereinafter, only the procedure in the medium input step will be described, but in the case of discharge, it can be understood by reflecting the input step, and the operation process of the present invention is not limited to only the medium input process.

The medium inputting step (S10) is a step in which the medium is inputted into the financial device through the medium inserting unit 80. When a medium is input in the medium inputting step (S10), the inserted medium is sequentially transferred to the recognition unit 10 one by one. At this time, when the amount of media is large, it may be moved to the temporary accumulation unit 33 and supplied to the recognition unit 10 from the temporary accumulation unit 33 .

In the medium recognition step (S20), the recognition unit 10 recognizes the medium supplied from the medium input unit 80 or the temporary accumulation unit 33. In this medium recognizing step (S20), the recognition unit 10 creates recognition information for each medium and delivers it to the control unit 20.

The index assignment step (S30) is a step in which the controller 20, which has received the recognition information, assigns index information to each medium based on the recognition information and preset setting information. In this index assigning step (S30), the control unit 20 determines the medium storage box 31 in which the media will be stored based on the setting information. And, in the index assignment step (S30), the control unit can include the information of the media storage box 31 designated for each medium as location information in the index information. When the index information is generated in the index assignment step (S30), the medium is moved to the designated medium storage box 31.

If an error is not detected after the index assignment step (S30), the process of settlement of input of the medium proceeds. That is, when banknotes are deposited into a medium, the paid amount is output through the output unit provided in the main body 1 to provide the deposit details to the depositor, and processing can be performed to deposit the amount into the user's account.

The error detection step (S40) is a step in which the control unit 20 recognizes that an error occurs in the process of transferring the medium to the storage box. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 , when a medium to be transferred to the first storage box 31a is stored in the second storage box 31b, it is sensed.

To this end, the controller 20 controls the transfer unit 40 to transfer the media by designating one of the media storage boxes 31 as storage locations. In this process, the control unit 20 detects whether an error has occurred through the time required for the media to be transported to the designated media storage box 31 by the transfer unit 60 and the detection means 60 to detect the media.

In the normal operation possibility determination step (S50, S60), if an error is detected, whether or not normal operation is possible, and a corresponding procedure is performed.

To this end, in the normal operation possibility determination step (S50), as described with reference to FIG. 3, the medium is withdrawn from the medium storage box 31 where the erroneously delivered medium is stored and sent back to the corresponding medium storage box 31, or the branching means 70 ) to check if it works normally.

In this process, the control unit 20 transfers the test medium taken out from the medium storage box 31 to the corresponding medium storage box 31 again through the medium recognition unit 10 .

Through this process, the control unit 20 determines that normal operation is possible when the medium is retransferred to the withdrawn medium storage box 31 or when it is confirmed that the branching means 70 is normally operating. Unlike this, the control unit 20 determines that normal operation is impossible when the response signal from the branching unit 70 is abnormal or the medium is put into another medium storage box 31 again.

In the post-processing step (S70), an operation in a normal operating state is performed or an operation in a normal operation impossible state is performed according to the determination result of the normal operation possibility determination step (S50). To this end, the post-processing step (S70) may include a bill transfer step (S71) and an error correction and non-use function setting step (S76).

The bill transfer step (S71) is a step of withdrawing the erroneously delivered bills and transferring them to the first designated media storage box 31. As shown in FIG. 2, when there is a medium bB3 introduced after the erroneously delivered medium aA7, the control unit 20 transfers the subsequently introduced medium to the temporary storage box 33 and replaces the erroneously delivered medium aA7. is withdrawn and transferred to the original media storage box, the first storage box 31a. Then, the control unit 20 transfers the media stored in the temporary accumulation unit 33 back to the second storage box 31b to correct an error caused by the erroneously transported media. Accordingly, the control unit 20 corrects each index information (I1, I2) according to the corrected information.

In the step of correcting errors and setting unused functions (S76), functions that cannot be normally operated are checked, and the use of the functions and services provided through them are restricted. For example, in the error correction and non-use function setting step (S76), the control unit 20 determines a specific storage box, that is, when the media is not re-inserted into the first storage box 31a, the information to be stored in the corresponding medium storage box 31a. The service will be restricted to prevent media from being put into or withdrawn from financial instruments.

At this time, if there is a media storage box 31 storing the same type of media, the control unit 30 transfers all the media to another media storage box 31 and stops the transfer to the media storage box 31a where the input is not performed. will make

At the same time, the control unit 20 maintains the information of the erroneously delivered medium by describing the erroneously delivered medium information and stored information, and corrects the stored information of each medium storage box using this. That is, correction is performed such as excluding erroneously delivered media from the summation of the media quantity.

As described above, the financial device of the present invention automatically corrects misdelivery of media when it occurs and also performs error correction to prevent financial accidents and deterioration in convenience.

In particular, for this purpose, index information is assigned to each medium, and an error is accurately detected by comparing the index information with preset setting information and sensing information sensed by a sensing means. In addition, by reflecting this index information and correcting key information such as stored information, it is possible to perform continuous financial business processing by utilizing the maximum function even if an error occurs along with accurate correction.

Although the above has been shown and described as specific examples to illustrate the technical idea of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the same configuration and operation as the specific embodiments as described above, and various modifications are within the scope of the present invention. can be carried out in Accordingly, such modifications should be regarded as belonging to the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should be determined by the claims described below.
