The specification table output unit 152 is a part which finally issues the result of the storing process to the specification table and provides it to the user.

Therefore, as a structure as mentioned above, the preferable whole effect | action is preferable below.

First, the user checks the question of whether the paper type to be deposited is cash or check on the display unit 150, and the user selects the type of paper medium to be deposited using the user input unit 148. Select whether or not to enter a check.

Subsequently, when the opening / closing door of the bundle input unit 102 is opened, the user inputs the paper medium to be deposited in bundle units at a time.

Thereafter, the opening / closing door of the bundle inserting unit 102 is closed, and then the sheet separating unit 104 provided at the bundle feeding unit 102 is operated, and the main conveying unit 106 is started to be driven. The sheet separator 104 separates the paper media one by one from the bundle at a predetermined time interval and continuously delivers the paper media to be transported along the main transport path 106a.

Subsequently, the paper medium to be conveyed in sheets is first aligned with one side while passing through the automatic sorting unit 108, and then continuously conveyed to pass through the discriminating unit 110.

That is, the paper medium passes sequentially through the CIS unit 110a, the cash discrimination unit 110b, the MICR unit 110c, and the double sheet detection unit 110d of the discriminating unit 110, wherein the paper medium is cash. In this case, the image information is acquired and read by the CIS unit 110a, and its characteristics are read through various sensors provided in the cash discrimination unit 110b, and whether the double sheet is detected by the double sheet detecting unit 110d. This confirms the normality of the cash.

On the other hand, if the paper medium is a check, the CIS unit 110a acquires and reads the image information, and the magnetic character information printed on the check in the MICR unit 110c is obtained as check information. The check whether the check is confirmed at 110d is performed through the exchange of information with the host computer 200 using the self-identified and acquired information.

In this case, as soon as the paper medium passes through the discriminating unit 110, whether the paper medium is normal or not is determined, and the first selection gate unit 112 provided at the rear side of the discriminating unit 110 according to the determination result. Selectively opens the paper so that the paper medium is transferred through the selected transport path.

That is, when it is determined that the determination using the discriminating unit 110 is normal, the first selection gate unit 112 opens the main transport path 106a and the paper medium continuously opens the main transport path 106a. On the other hand, if it is determined that the abnormality is determined as abnormal, the abnormal medium powder-based transport in which the paper medium is branched by opening the abnormal medium powder-based transport path 114a where the first selection gate portion 112 branches. It is to be continuously transported along the furnace (114a).

First, as a result of the determination, when it is determined that it is determined to be abnormal and is transported along the abnormal medium powder based passage 114a, the paper medium conveyed along the abnormal medium powder based passage 114a is finally transferred to the abnormal medium powder based transportation. The abnormal medium temporary storage unit 116 provided at the rear end side of the furnace 114a is transferred and stored.

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is normal and continuously transported along the main transport path 106a, the process proceeds differently depending on the type of the paper medium. The check is temporarily stopped in the check date and time waiting unit 120 formed in a certain period and temporarily waits. In the waiting state, the display unit 150 indicates that the check is normally determined and finally received. The user is asked to select whether to accept or cancel the storage, and the user re-determines his / her intention and selects the storage acceptance or cancellation through the user input unit 148 and inputs the storage cancellation. In this case, the main conveying unit 106 is driven in the reverse direction so that the check is conveyed in the reverse direction so that the bundle feeding unit 102 or When the deposit process is properly terminated to allow the user to return the checks, the main transport unit 106 is driven forward to receive the checks. For the check to be forwarded and forwarded again, the endorsement is performed in the endorsement factor 122, and when all of the factors are completed, the check is also continuously transferred to eventually select the second selection gate 124. After continuing to be transported along the normal check transport path (126a) according to the normal opening stops at the normal check storage inlet 128 and waits immediately after the push bar (130a) of the normal check storage cassette unit 130 is lowered Pressing the normal check of the sheet is lowered together so that the check is stored and stored in the normal check storage cassette unit 130.

As a result, the storing process for one check is completed, and then the processing for the next check is repeatedly performed so that all of the normal checks are stored in the normal check storing cassette unit 130, and abnormal ones are stored in the abnormal medium temporary storing unit ( 116) collected and stored in the bundle input unit 102 through the abnormal medium carrying unit 118 to be returned to the user.

Here, the foot push bar 130a, which preferably checks each sheet to the normal check storage inlet 128, is operated to descend to store the normal check of each sheet directly in the normal check storage cassette 130. However, unlike this, until the checks for all the checks once inserted into the bundle input unit 102 are completed, the normal checks are collected in the normal check storage unit 128 and then the normal checks are pushed together. The bar 130a may be moved downward so as to be stored at once in the normal check storage cassette unit 130.

On the other hand, if the paper medium determined to be normal as a result of the determination by the discriminating unit 110 is cash, the cash is continuously transferred along the main transport path 106a to the end and then branched to the normal cash transport path 132a. In addition, after being transported to the end, it is temporarily stored in the normal cash temporary storage unit 134 provided at the rear end side of the normal cash transport path 132a, that is, continuously at regular intervals from the sheet separator 104. Repeated processing for the sheets of cash to be sent out in succession is progressed, so that the normal cash is collected to be stacked in the normal cash temporary storage unit 134, while the abnormal cash is all abnormal media temporary storage unit ( 116 and then temporarily stored and then stored in the bundle input unit 102 through the abnormal medium carrying unit 118 to be returned to the user.

In addition, before the normal cash collected so as to be stacked in the normal cash temporary storage unit 134 is finally stored into the normal cash storage cassette unit 136, the predetermined amount of cash is first provided to the user through the display unit 150. Indicates that it is normally processed and is waiting for the final storage processing, and asks the user to enter and decide whether to finally process or cancel the deposit. The depositor accepts or cancels the deposit through the input unit 148, and thus, if the deposit is canceled, the normal cash collected and stored in the normal cash temporary storage unit 134 is stored in the normal cash transport and transport unit (148). 138) is transferred to the bundle input unit 102 to be returned to the user, while the payment acceptance When the normal cash collected in the normal cash storage unit 134, the push bar (136a) of the normal cash storage cassette unit 136 is lowered and moved to the normal cash storage cassette unit 136 on the lower side at once. The cash storage cassette 136 is stored in the final deposit processing.

According to the present invention as described above, since both the cash and the check can be stored, it is very excellent in terms of versatility, and the cash and the check can be received in bundles and can be received and processed. It is possible to provide improved work productivity with rapid processing while greatly improving the convenience of use.

In addition, of course, a large amount of checks and cash are stored in the normal check storage cassette unit 130 and the normal cash storage cassette unit 136 according to the repetition of the above-described deposit processing. In each of the storage cassette unit 130, 136 will take out the check and cash loaded.

On the other hand, in the above initially, the user first receives the input check whether the type of the paper medium to be requested for storage processing cash or check to be stored accordingly accordingly, otherwise the paper medium that the device 100 itself is internally processed It may be implemented to automatically determine whether the cash or check in real time according to the result of the check, wherein the cash or check sorting process in the discriminating unit 110, all detection sensors of the cash discriminating unit (110b) In the case where an error occurs at the same time and the normal reading is performed by the MICR unit 110c, it is a check. On the contrary, when all the sensors of the cash discrimination unit 110b are recognized normally and the normal reading is not performed by the MICR unit 110c. In this case, since the cash is selected, the second check gate 124 is switched in real time according to the classification so that the normal check is normal. Storage and flows to the incoming portion 128, the normal cash will be normal when cash pause and go to a storage unit 134, abnormal checks and cash flows to the storage medium at least temporarily 116.

Of course, if the separation process itself as described above, the user will be able to mix the cash and checks from the beginning of the Guji without mixing them into a mixed state.

In addition, the discrimination unit 110 performs the discrimination function of the CIS unit 110a, the cash discrimination unit 110b, and the MICR unit 110c. Among the cash, the CIS unit 110a and the cash discrimination unit are used. 110b is used, and the CIS unit 110a and the MICR unit 110c are used for the check. If the cash discrimination unit 110b includes an additional CIS unit (not shown), In this case, only the cash discrimination unit 110b may be driven, and in the case of a check, only the CIS unit 110a and the MICR unit 110c may be driven. Thus, various modifications may be made in the detailed implementation of the discrimination unit 110. State that there may be

In the foregoing description, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes to the present invention without changing the gist of the present invention as merely illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

According to the present invention, since both the cash and the check can be stored and processed, it is very excellent in terms of versatility, and also the cash and the check can be received and received at once in bundles, so that the user can insert the sheet. It is possible to achieve a significant improvement in the convenience of use by preventing the effect while being able to provide an improved work productivity according to the rapid processing can be achieved.
