[

As another example, the user interface 12 may receive the number of media for deposit, and if the number of received media is greater than the maximum number of media that can be stored in the temporary storage unit 30, All of the media for depositing into the depositing unit 21 can be temporarily accumulated in the additional function cassette 45. [

The media temporarily accumulated in the additional function cassette 45 may be transferred to the media storage unit 40 after passing through the discrimination unit 25 upon receipt of the deposit confirmation command from the user interface 12. [

<Withdrawal process>

FIG. 6 is a view showing the transfer of the medium in the withdrawal process according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the user interface 12 receives a withdrawal command for a medium, the medium and the number of media corresponding to the received withdrawal amount are released from the medium storage unit 40. The medium discharged from the media storage unit 40 passes through the discriminating unit 25. [ The medium determined as the normal medium among the media passing through the discrimination unit 25 is conveyed to the withdrawal unit 22. On the other hand, a medium determined to be an abnormal medium among the media passing through the distinguishing unit 25 may be recovered by the recovery cassettes 46 and 47.

If the additional function cassette 45 serves as a reflux cassette, the medium stored in the additional function cassette 45 may be discharged and transferred to the dispensing unit 22 during the dispensing process.

Alternatively, when the additional function cassette 45 stores a medium in which one or more medium cassettes are filled with the medium and can not be stored in the one or more medium cassettes, if the one or more medium cassettes are later empty, Media stored in the cassette 45 may be supplemented with the one or more media cassettes. That is, the medium stored in the additional function cassette 45 may be supplemented with the one or more media cassettes after passing through the discrimination unit 25. [

According to the present embodiment, even when the one or more media cassettes are empty, the media stored in the additional function cassette 45 can be used for transactions, thereby increasing the operating rate of financial instruments. In this case, it can be understood that the additional function cassette 45 also serves as a supplementary cassette.

<Supplementary process _ supplementary medium using deposit department>

FIG. 7 is a view showing the transfer of the medium in the medium replenishment process using the depositing unit according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, a user may insert a medium to be supplemented into the deposit unit 21 into the medium storage unit 40. At this time, one or more denominations of the media that can be input into the depositing unit 21 may be used.

The replenishment medium inserted into the depositing unit 21 passes through the discriminating unit 25.

A medium recognized as a normal medium by the discriminating unit 25 may be supplemented by the medium storage unit 40 or the additional function cassette 45. [ At this time, the supplementary medium is not temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage unit 30 after passing through the discrimination unit 25, but can be supplemented with the medium storage unit 40 or the additional function cassette 45 have.

On the other hand, a medium recognized as an abnormal medium by the discrimination unit 25 may be transferred to the withdrawal unit 22 or the rejection unit 23.

It is also possible that the depositing process is performed in the same process as the medium replenishing process using the depositing unit depending on the transaction environment or the transaction area.

That is, even in the depositing process, the normal medium passing through the discriminating unit 25 can be transferred to the media storage unit 40 or the additional function cassette 45 without being accumulated in the temporary storage unit 30. [ This process of non-accumulative depositing can be called the rapid deposit process.

On the other hand, the structure of the additional function cassette 45 may be the same as or similar to the structure of each of the plurality of media cassettes. Therefore, when one medium cassette among the plurality of media cassettes can not be used due to failure or the like, the one medium cassette can be replaced with the additional function cassette 45. [

For example, the safe may be provided with a mounting portion on which the plurality of media cassettes are mounted, and the additional cassette may be mounted after the one media cassette is detached from the mounting portion.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there is an advantage that the additional function cassette can be used in place of the one-media cassette without structural change of the additional function cassette, and accordingly, the operating rate of the financial equipment can be improved.

<Supplementary process _ supplementing medium using additional function cassette>

FIG. 8 is a view showing transfer of the medium in the medium replenishment process using the additional function cassette according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Referring to Fig. 8, the additional function cassette 45 can be used as a cassette for replenishment.

A user who has access to the additional function cassette 45 can charge the supplementary function cassette 45 with a medium for supplementing after accessing the additional function cassette 45. [ As described above, a user who is authorized to access only the additional function cassette 45 can not access the media storage unit 40. [

The number of types of media that can be loaded in the additional function cassette 45 may be one or more.

The user interface 12 may receive supplementary commands. When a supplementary command is received, the supplemental medium is ejected from the additional function cassette 45, and the ejected medium passes through the discriminator 25.

The media for the replenishment recognized as the normal medium by the discriminating unit 25 may be supplemented by the medium storage unit 40. [ At this time, the serial number of the medium to be supplemented is recognized in the discrimination unit 25, and the serial number of the recognized medium is stored in the memory 13. [ Therefore, information on the medium supplemented by one or more media cassettes of the media storage unit 40 can be stored and managed in the memory 13. [

On the other hand, the media for the replenishment recognized as the abnormal medium by the discriminating unit 25 can be recovered by the recovery cassettes 46 and 47. [

According to the present embodiment, after the medium is once charged into the additional function cassette 45 located in the safe 70, the supplementing of the medium can be performed automatically, thereby improving convenience for the user.

Also, once the medium is loaded into the additional function cassette 45 located in the safe 70, the user can not access the additional function cassette 45 or the medium storage unit 40 in the supplementing process of the medium , And the security of financial instruments is improved.

<Recovery process>

FIG. 9 is a view showing the transfer of the medium in the medium recovery process using the additional function cassette according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 9, the additional function cassette 45 can be used as a cassette for recovery. Of course, it is also possible that the additional function cassette 45 is used as a cassette for replenishment and recovery.

The user interface 12 may receive a withdrawal command. Upon receipt of the retrieval command, the media may be ejected from one or more media cassettes of the plurality of media cassettes 41-44. The media ejected from the one or more media cassettes may be recovered to the additional function cassette 45 by a conveyance path 60 connected to the additional function cassette 45.

In the recovery process, the medium for the recovery from the one or more media cassettes can be transferred to the additional function cassette 45 without passing through the identification part 25. [ At this time, the number of media to be returned to the additional function cassette 45 needs to be managed.

Therefore, a sensor (sensor) 62 for detecting the number of media to be transported may be disposed in the transport path 60.

Thus, the number of media recovered by the sensor 62 to the additional function cassette 45 can be calculated, and the calculated medium can be stored in the memory 13.

In addition, since the medium for the recovery of the one or more media cassettes is recovered to the additional function cassette 45 through the minimum conveyance path, jam occurrence during the conveyance of the medium can be minimized.

According to this embodiment, since the additional function cassette 45 is disposed in the safe 70, the security of the recovered medium can be ensured.

<Settlement process _ partial settlement>

10 and 11 are views illustrating a process of performing settlement using a part of a medium stored in a media cassette according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

10 and 11, when the financial transaction is completed, the financial transaction is started, or when the user interface receives the partial settlement command, a predetermined number of sheets of the one of the plurality of media cassettes 41 to 44 The medium may be released. In this example, the predetermined number of sheets is less than the maximum number of media that can be stored in the one medium cassette. The medium ejected from the one media cassette may be transferred to the recovery cassette 47 after passing through the distinguishing unit 25. [

In the course of passing the predetermined number of media through the discriminating unit 25, the discriminating unit 25 can recognize the serial number of each predetermined number of media.

The control unit 14 may compare the serial number of each of the predetermined number of media recognized by the identification unit 25 with the serial number stored in the memory 13. [

The memory 13 stores the serial numbers of the media stored in each of the plurality of media cassettes 41 to 44. When the serial number of each of the media of the predetermined number matches the serial number stored in the memory 13 The predetermined number of media recovered in the recovery cassette 47 may again be transferred to the one media cassette.

On the other hand, if the serial number of each of the predetermined number of media does not match the serial number stored in the memory 13, the serial number information stored in the memory 13 may be modified and the modified serial number may be stored.

If the serial number of at least one of the serial numbers of the predetermined number of media is not stored in the memory 13 or the serial number of each medium is changed and stored, the information stored in the memory 13 may be modified The serial numbers of the media stored in the actual media cassette and the serial numbers of the media stored in the memory 13 can be matched.

Alternatively, if the serial number of each of the predetermined number of media does not match the serial number stored in the memory 13, the serial number information of the predetermined number of media may be deleted from the memory 13. In this case, since the predetermined number of media is already located in the recovery cassettes 46 and 47, the recovery process of the predetermined number of media is unnecessary.

According to the present invention, since the settlement can be performed using a predetermined number of media, there is an advantage that it can be settled simply. In addition, since the predetermined number of media is not exposed to the outside during the settlement process and the state stored in the safe is maintained, the user can not access the predetermined number of media, thereby securing security in the settlement process .

As another example, the one or more media cassettes of the plurality of media cassettes may further include a temporary accumulation space for temporary accumulation function. For example, the temporary storage space and the storage space for storing the medium may be separated in the one media cassette. In this case, a predetermined number of media for settlement may be transferred to the temporary accumulation space, and then, once the settlement is completed, the medium may be transferred to the one medium cassette.

As another example, one or more of the plurality of media cassettes may be a multi-stage cassette that may have multiple spaces. That is, the media can be independently stored in a plurality of spaces in the media cassette, and the media in each space can be separated by the separating device and discharged outside the media cassette.

In this case, a predetermined number of media for settlement may be transferred to one of the multistage cassettes, and then, once the settlement is completed, the medium may be transferred to the one medium cassette.

When the settlement of one of the plurality of media cassettes is completed, the next media cassette can be settled.

As another example, a predetermined number of media ejected from the media cassette may be transferred to the media cassette immediately after passing through the discriminating portion and without passing through another module.

As another example, a predetermined number of media ejected from the media cassette may be transferred to the additional function cassette, and the medium transferred to the additional function cassette may be transferred again to the media cassette after passing through the identification unit.

Alternatively, if further adjustment is required, the medium is ejected from the media cassette in a number larger than the predetermined number of sheets, and then transferred to the additional function cassette, It is also possible that the medium is transported back to the media cassette after passing through the discriminating portion.

<Settlement Process _ All Settlement>

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a process of performing settlement using all media stored in a media cassette according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12, when the financial transaction is completed, the financial transaction is started, or when the user interface receives the entire settlement command, all of the media stored in one medium cassette among the plurality of media cassettes 41 to 44 is discharged . The medium ejected from the one medium cassette can be conveyed to the additional function cassette 45 without passing through the discriminating portion 25 (see arrow A). In this case, the additional function cassette 45 can be used as a calibration cassette.

The medium conveyed to the additional function cassette 45 may be ejected from the additional function cassette 45 and then conveyed to the one medium cassette again through the discriminating portion 25 (see arrow B).

At this time, the order of the media integrated in the one media cassette is reversed while being transferred to the additional function cassette 45. However, when the medium ejected from the additional function cassette 45 returns to the one media cassette, the order of the media is changed again, and the media is returned in the original order.

The discriminating unit 25 can recognize the serial number of each medium stored in the one medium cassette. The recognized serial number may be stored in the memory 13.

Alternatively, it is possible to compare the serial number of each medium discriminated by the discrimination unit 25 with the serial number of each medium stored in the memory 13, and if it does not match, have.

According to this embodiment, since the settlement can be performed using all of the media stored in one medium cassette, it is possible to perform accurate settlement. In addition, since the medium is not exposed to the outside during the settlement and the state stored in the safe is maintained, security can be secured in the settlement process.

When the settlement of one of the plurality of media cassettes is completed, the next media cassette can be settled.

FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing a financial device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a schematic view of a media input / output device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The structure and function of the medium storage section 40, the additional function cassette 45, the transfer module 50 and the recovery cassettes 46 and 47 of this embodiment can be applied equally to the structures and functions described in the first embodiment Therefore, redundant description is omitted and only the characteristic parts of the present embodiment can be described below. For example, various uses and functions of the additional function cassette described in the first embodiment can be equally applied to this embodiment.

On the other hand, the media input / output device 120 allows a medium for depositing, a medium for withdrawal, and a medium for counting.

The media input / output device 120 may include a first space 121 and a second space 122. A medium for depositing or a medium for counting may be inserted into the first space 121. In the second space 122, counted media, media for depositing, or media for withdrawal may be integrated.

The media input / output device 120 may further include a first separating device for separating the medium located in the first space 121. [

The first separating device includes a first pick-up roller 131 for picking up a medium positioned in the first space 121, and a pick-up roller 131 for picking up a medium picked up from the first pick- And may include a first feed roller 132 and a first gate roller 133 for separation. The first gate roller 133 may be rotated or stopped in a direction opposite to the first feed roller 132.

The media input / output device 120 includes a stack guide 137 for guiding the integration of the media introduced into the second space 122, And a second separation device for separating the medium of the second space 122 for processing.

The second separation device includes a second pickup roller 134 for picking up a medium located in the second space 122 and a second pickup roller 134 for picking up a medium picked up by the second pickup roller 135 And may include a feed roller 135 and a second gate roller 136. The second gate roller 136 may be rotated or stopped in a direction opposite to the second feed roller 135.

The stack guide 137 may guide the media introduced into the second space 122 to be stacked one by one on the support surface 126. For example, the stack guide 137 may be a stack wheel for guiding the medium drawn by the rotation operation to the support surface 126.

The second space 122 may be opened or closed by a shutter 124 (shutter).

The shutter 124 may open the second space 122 in the counting process or may close the second space 122 in the counting process and open the second space 122 when the counting process is completed have. In addition, the shutter 124 may open or close the second space 122 during the dispensing process.

In FIG. 14, the state in which the shutter 124 opens the second space 122 is shown. In this state, when the shutter 124 is moved downward to the left, the second space 122 can be closed.

The medium input / output device 120 is configured to store a third space (hereinafter, referred to as "abnormal medium") that can be held by the discrimination unit 25 in a counting process and / (123).

The third space 123 may be opened or closed by a shutter or may be provided with a shielding member for shielding a part of the opening of the third space 123 to prevent deviation of the transported medium .

The first space 121, the second space 122, and the third space 123 may be independent of each other, or at least a part of the space may be divided into a separate space such as a partition or a guide As shown in FIG. At this time, if the space of at least a part of the first space 121, the second space 122, and the third space 123 is a divided space, the size of the space may be varied by the movement of the separating member have.

At least a portion of the second space 122 may be positioned higher than the first space 121. Also, at least a part of the third space 123 may be positioned higher than the second space 122. That is, the first to third spaces 121 to 123 may be disposed at different heights. Therefore, the user can easily access the first to third spaces 121 to 123.

One point of the first space 121, one point of the second space 122, and one point of the third space 123 may be positioned on one straight line. At this time, the straight line may be inclined at a certain angle on the horizontal line. According to the arrangement of the first to third spaces 121 to 123, the copper wire is short and convenient.

For example, after the medium accumulated in the third space 123, which is located higher than the first space 121, is taken out from the third space 123, the medium is put into the first space 121 while lowering the hand Therefore, there is an advantage that the convenience of the user is maximized.

The user interface 15 may be located in the upper portion of the third space 123, although not limited thereto. In this case, there is an advantage that the user can operate the user interface 15 without any interference in the state where the user inserts the medium into the first space 121.

On the other hand, the financial instrument 2 may further include a transfer path for transferring the medium.

The conveying path includes a first conveying path 151 passing through the discriminating part 25 and a second conveying path 152 and a third conveying path 153 connected to the first conveying path 151 . The second conveying path 152 may be located below the first conveying path 151 and the third conveying path 153 may be located above the first conveying path 151, Lt; / RTI &gt;

The transfer path may further include a connection path 154 connecting the first space 121 and the first transfer path 151. The medium in the first space 121 may be transferred to the first transfer path 151 through the connection path 154.

The feed path includes an inlet path 155 branched from the third feed path 153 and guiding the medium of the third feed path 153 to the second space 122, (156) for guiding the medium of the first transport path (151) to the first transport path (151).

The medium for counting or the medium for depositing is conveyed along the third conveyance path 153 after passing through the distinguishing section 25 and is conveyed through the third conveyance path 153 through the intake path 155 And may be introduced into the second space 122.

The transfer path may further include a recovery path 157 branched from the third transfer path 153 and guiding the medium of the third transfer path 153 to the third space 123.

Since the medium guides the medium to the same path and the same space in the counting process and the depositing process, even if the command for counting and the command for depositing are separately received from the user through the user interface 15, The apparatus can process the coefficient and the deposit command through the same control command, so that the control of the financial instrument can be simplified.

Hereinafter, the operation of the financial instrument according to the financial transaction process will be described.

<Counting process / 1st payment process>

FIG. 15 is a view showing the transfer of the medium in the counting process or the first depositing process according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the operation of the medium input / output device in the counting process or the first depositing process of FIG. And Fig. 17 is a diagram showing media transport in the case where the present invention deposits a larger number of media than the number of media that can be processed in the second space according to the second embodiment.

15 and 16, in the first depositing process or the counting process, the medium M1 for depositing and / or counting may be introduced into the first space 121. In this case,

The medium M1 injected into the first space 121 can be separated one by one by the first separator. The media M1 separated one by one are transported to the first transport path 151 through the connection path 154. The medium (M1) conveyed to the first conveying path (151) passes through the discriminating part (25).

The medium M2 recognized as a normal medium in the discrimination unit 25 is conveyed along the third conveyance path 153 and enters the second space 122 through the intake path 155. [ The medium M2 introduced into the second space 122 may be seated on the support surface 126 by the stack guide 137.

On the other hand, the medium M3 judged to be an abnormal medium by the discrimination unit 25 is conveyed along the third conveyance path 153 and is conveyed to the third space 123 through the collection path 157. [

If the counting process is performed, the information of the medium that has been counted in the user interface 15 and accumulated in the second space 122 and the information of the medium transferred to the third space 123 is displayed . When the counted medium is not deposited, the medium M2 integrated in the second space 122 can be taken out from the second space 122. [

At this time, in the counting process, the shutter 124 can keep the second space 122 opened or closed. If the shutter 124 closes the second space 122, the shutter 124 may automatically open the second space 122 when the counting is completed. If the shutter 124 receives the shutter opening command or the count end command through the user interface 15 after the counting is completed when the second space 122 is closed, The second space 122 can be automatically opened.

Alternatively, if the shutter 124 is in a state in which the second space 122 is closed, the second space 122 may be opened by manually moving the shutter 124 when the counting is completed.

Of course, the third space 123 may also be opened or closed manually or automatically by a shutter. After the counting process is completed, the user may press the medium M3 of the second space 122 and / .

When the second space 122 and the third space 123 are independent spaces, shutters may be provided in the respective spaces, and the second space 122 and the third space 123 may be separated from each other, The second space 122 and the third space 123 can be opened and closed through a single shutter.

At this time, a shutter lock unit (not shown) is provided to keep the shutter closed and closed during the counting process, so that the shutter can be locked. When the count is completed, the shutter can be opened automatically or manually The lock of the shutter lock (not shown) may be released.

On the other hand, when the first depositing process is performed, the information of the medium integrated in the second space 122 and the information of the medium transferred to the third space 123 after the discrimination is completed in the user interface 15 Can be displayed. A deposit confirmation command or a deposit cancellation command for the medium integrated in the second space 122 may be received through the user interface 15. [

If the deposit confirmation command is received through the user interface 15, the medium M2 in the second space 122 may be separated and transferred by the second separation device and deposited. The process of depositing the medium M2 in the second space 122 will be described later with reference to the drawings.

On the other hand, when the deposit canceling command is received, the depositing process is terminated and the user can take out the medium M2 integrated in the second space 122 from the second space 122. [ At this time, the shutter 124 can maintain the closed state of the second space 122 in the depositing process. When the deposit canceling command is received, the shutter 124 automatically or manually opens the second space 122, (122) can be opened.

According to this embodiment, when the deposit canceling command is received, since the medium integrated in the second space 122 can be taken out immediately, the transferring process for transferring the medium accumulated in the conventional temporary accumulation unit to the space for withdrawal Can be omitted, the transaction time can be shortened, and jam occurrence due to transfer of the medium can be prevented.

Also, the shutter 124 may be formed of a transparent or semi-transparent material. In this case, the customer can confirm the medium integrated in the second space 122, and the customer can visually confirm the process of taking out the medium from the second space 122 at the time of canceling the deposit, Is improved.

In addition, a shutter lock unit (not shown) for preventing the shutter from being opened and kept closed during the dispensing process may be further provided to lock the shutter. When the dispensing process is terminated or a deposit canceling command is received, The shutter lock portion (not shown) can be unlocked so as to be opened automatically or manually.

The second space 122 serves as a temporary accumulation space where the media for depositing are temporarily accumulated. In addition, when the deposit canceling command is received, when the deposit is canceled, You can also perform roles.

Referring to FIG. 17, the number of sheets that can be stacked in the second space 122 is greater than the maximum number of sheets that can be stacked in the first space 121.

In this case, the medium separated from the first space 121 and passing through the distinguishing unit 25 is primarily accumulated in the second space 122. When the number of media stacked in the second space 122 reaches a predetermined number, the medium separated from the first space 121 and passing through the discerning unit 25 is temporarily transferred to the temporary storage unit 30 ). &Lt; / RTI &gt;

According to the present embodiment, since the number of media that can be temporarily accumulated at the time of one transaction can be increased, the number of banking transactions can be reduced. Thus, the transaction time for depositing the entire medium can be shortened have.

In the case where the medium is temporarily accumulated only in the temporary accumulation unit, in the case of attempting to deposit a medium exceeding the predetermined number of accumulations that can be accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit, the deposit transaction should be performed twice or more. According to this embodiment, There is an advantage that the medium can be deposited by the transaction of the number of times.

In addition, since each of the second space and the temporary accumulation units can temporarily accumulate the medium, there is an advantage in that it is not necessary to utilize a part of the medium cassettes located in the safe as a temporary accumulation unit. Accordingly, It is possible to prevent the number of possible media from decreasing.

In the depositing process, a deposit canceling command may be received, and in this case, the medium integrated in the temporary accumulating unit may be returned to the customer. On the other hand, the medium integrated in the media cassette located in the safe is not the customer's money. However, when the media cassette located in the safe is utilized as the temporary storage unit, there is a problem that the money other than the customer already stored in the media cassette and the money of the customer are mixed. In the process of discharging the medium from the temporary storage unit, There is a possibility that this problem may occur.

In the present embodiment, the temporary storage unit 30 may be disposed outside the safe 70. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the money of the customer of the temporary accumulation unit 30 from being mixed with the money other than the customer in the safe.

As another example, in the first depositing process, when the medium is temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit and the number of the media accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit reaches the predetermined number, The medium passing through the first space 25 may be temporally integrated in the second space 122 temporarily.

As another example, in the first depositing process, the medium is temporarily accumulated in either the second space 122 or the temporary accumulation unit 30, and the second space 122 and the temporary accumulation unit 30 In the case where it is not preferable to accumulate the medium on the basis of the accumulation obstacle such as defective accumulation although the medium is not filled in the second space or the temporary accumulation unit in one example, 2 space 122 and the other one of the temporary accumulation units 30, as shown in FIG.

As another example, the supplemental cassette 45 may be used as a temporary accumulation cassette for temporary accumulation of media. At this time, the maximum number of media that can be accumulated in the additional function cassette 45 is larger than the maximum number of media that can be accumulated in each of the second space 122 and the temporary storage unit 30.

If the number of media for depositing is not inputted in the user interface 12, a medium inserted into the first space 121 is first inserted into either the temporary storage unit 30 or the second space 122 Can be integrated.

If the medium is completely filled in the temporary storage unit 30 and the second space 122 and the medium can no longer be temporarily collected, the medium may be temporarily accumulated in the additional functional cassette 45. [

That is, depending on the number of media passing through the discriminating unit, the conveying position of the temporary accumulating medium passing through the discriminating unit 25 is shifted to the second space 122, the temporary accumulating unit 30, and the additional function cassette 45, , And can be transferred to the determined position.

As another example, the maximum number of media that can be integrated in the additional function cassette 45 is greater than the sum of the maximum number of media that can be integrated in each of the second space 122 and the temporary integration unit 30 Can be many.

In this specification, it is assumed that the maximum number of media that can be integrated in each of the second space 122 and the temporary accumulation unit 30 is the same.

The user interface 12 may receive the number of media for depositing and if the number of received media is greater than the maximum number of media that can be integrated into the temporary storage 30 or the second space 122 If the number is less than the number of sheets, the medium may be temporarily accumulated in any one of the temporary storage unit 30 and the second space 122.

If the number of received media is larger than the maximum number of media that can be integrated into either of the temporary storage unit 30 and the second space 122 and the temporary storage unit 30 and the second space 122, The medium can be divided and integrated into the temporary storage unit 30 and the second space 122 when the sum of the maximum number of the media that can be accumulated in each of the temporary storage unit 122 and the temporary storage unit 122 is less than the sum of the maximum number of sheets.

If the number of received media is larger than the sum of the maximum number of media that can be accumulated in each of the temporary storage unit 30 and the second space 122, then all of the media for depositing is stored in the additional function cassette 45). &Lt; / RTI &gt;

The media temporarily accumulated in the additional function cassette 45 may be transferred to the media storage unit 40 after passing through the discrimination unit 25 upon receipt of the deposit confirmation command from the user interface 12. [

As another example, the second space 122 and the temporary accumulation unit 30 may be temporarily classified into denominations of the medium. For example, one or more types of media can be temporarily integrated in the temporary storage unit 30, and the types of media that can be integrated in the temporary storage unit 30 in the second space 122 Can be temporarily integrated.

For example, media of a denomination having a high transaction frequency can be temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 30.

The user intends to deposit only one denomination (first denomination). However, when two denominations (the first denomination and the second denomination) are inserted unintentionally through the first space 121, Temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage unit 30, and the second-type medium can be temporally integrated in the second space 122. [

The user can decide whether or not to deposit the second denomination, and when the user interface receives the deposit canceling command for the second denomination, the shutter 124 of the second space 122 is immediately opened, The media of the second class in the second space 122 can be taken out. On the other hand, the medium temporarily accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 30 may be deposited secondarily.

Of course, when the user interface receives a deposit confirmation command for all of the first and second denominations, the media of each denomination may be transferred to the media storage unit 40 after passing through the discriminating unit.

That is, when the denomination of the medium charged into the first space 121 or the denomination of the temporary accumulating medium passing through the discriminating section 25 is two or more denominations, the medium is divided into the denominations of the second space and the temporary accumulating section So that it can be integrated temporarily.

<After completion of counting, deposit / 2nd deposit>

18 is a view showing media transfer in the depositing process or the second depositing process of the counted media integrated in the second space according to the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 20 is a view showing a transfer of a medium integrated in the temporary accumulation unit in the second depositing process according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

18 to 20, after the completion of counting, the medium M2 integrated in the second space 122 can be deposited. In addition, the media accumulated in the second space 122 in the first depositing process can be deposited.

As described above, in the depositing process, the second space 122 functions as a temporary accumulation space where the medium is temporarily accumulated.

If at least a part or all of the medium M2 integrated in the second space 122 is received in the counting process, a deposit command, a deposit command after the counting process is completed, or a deposit confirmation command in the depositing process, The pressing portion 159 provided in the second space 122 operates so that the pressing portion 159 can press the medium M2 of the second space 122 toward the second pickup roller 134 side.

The pressing portion 159 is maintained in a state of being avoided to a predetermined position to prevent interference with the medium in the process of drawing the medium into the second space 122, The second space 122 may protrude into the second space 122 to press the medium M2.

The pressing portion 159 may be connected to the moving portion 158 and moved in a direction substantially parallel to the supporting surface 126, for example. The pressing portion 159 may be rotatably connected to the moving portion 158.

In this specification, the pressing portion 159 and the moving portion 158 may be referred to as media pressing devices. In the present specification, the media pressure device is not limited to the configuration of the pressing portion and the moving portion described above, and may be implemented in various forms. For example, the medium pressure device can be avoided upward of the medium M2 integrated in the second space 122, and in the process of separating the medium M2, (Right side of the medium M2) to press the medium M2 toward the second pick-up roller 134 side.

The medium M2 accumulated in the second space 122 is separated by the second separation device and transferred to the take-out path 156. The medium M2 conveyed to the take-out path 156 is conveyed along the first conveying path 151 and is conveyed to the second conveying path 152 after passing through the discriminating part 25 again, And can be integrated in the storage section 40.

At this time, if the medium M2 is judged to be an abnormal medium after passing through the discriminating unit 25 again, it can be recovered to the first cassette 46. [

When the medium is accumulated in each of the second space 122 and the temporary accumulation unit 30, after the secondary depositing process of the medium in the second space 122 is completed as shown in FIG. 20, The second depositing process of the medium integrated in the second bank 30 can be performed.

On the other hand, when the medium is accumulated in each of the second space 122 and the temporary accumulation unit 30, after the secondary depositing process of the medium integrated in the temporary accumulation unit 30 is completed, 122) can be performed.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the depositing process after completion of counting includes: inputting a counting instruction; The coefficient being performed; Inputting a deposit command; And a step in which the counted medium is integrated in the medium storage section.

In this embodiment, since the counted medium is disposed in the second space 122 serving as a temporary accumulation space, when the depositing process is performed after completion of the counting, the medium placed in the second space 122 is discriminated 25, it can be temporarily transferred to the media storage unit 40 without being temporarily accumulated in the temporary storage unit 30. [

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is unnecessary to take out the counted medium from the second space 122 and reintroduce it into the first space 121 when depositing the medium after completion of the counting, And unnecessary time for feeding the counted medium into the first space is reduced.

Further, when depositing the counted media, since the temporary accumulation process is not performed, there is an advantage that the deposit time can be shortened.

In this embodiment, the additional function cassette 45 can be used as a recovery cassette, and the first cassette 46 and the second cassette 47 can be used as a reflux cassette. In this case, the number of denominations that the financial instrument 2 can process can be increased.

Alternatively, the additional function cassette 45 and the first cassette 46 and the second cassette 47 may be used as a reflux cassette. In this case, in this case, the number of denominations that the financial instrument 2 can process can be the maximum. In this case, the abnormal medium can be integrated in the temporary storage unit 30. [

That is, in the present embodiment, the function of the temporary accumulation unit 30 may vary depending on the use area and the location of the financial device 20. [

On the other hand, a part of the first medium (the medium located on the left side in the drawing) among the mediums M2 integrated in the second space 122 may be dug under the second medium. In this state, when pickup of the medium by the second pickup roller 134 is started, there is a possibility that a pickup failure occurs because normal pickup is not performed.

Therefore, in order that the second pickup roller 134 is rotated in one direction (direction in which the medium is rotated to pick up the medium) for separating the medium M2 accumulated in the second space 122, The second pick-up roller 134 may be rotated by a predetermined angle in a direction opposite to the one direction, if the conveyance of the medium is not detected in the sensor provided in the conveyance path. That is, when the medium M2 is normally picked up by the second pick-up roller 134, the picked up medium M2 can be detected by the sensor on the conveying path. On the other hand, if the medium M2 is not normally picked up by the second pick-up roller 134, the picked up medium M2 can not be detected by the sensor on the conveying path.

Accordingly, when the second pick-up roller 134 rotates by a predetermined angle in the other direction, the first medium dug under the second medium can come out from under the second medium. The second pick-up roller 134 may then be rotated in one direction again for picking up the media M2 integrated in the second space 122. In this case, the conveying path may be, for example, a drawing path 156.

<Withdrawal process>

FIG. 21 is a view showing media transportation in the withdrawal process according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 21, when a withdrawal command for a medium is received through the user interface 15, the medium and the number of media corresponding to the received withdrawal amount are released from the medium storage unit 40. [ The medium discharged from the media storage unit 40 is conveyed along the second conveyance path 152 and then passes along the first conveyance path 151 and passes through the discrimination unit 25. [ A medium determined as a normal medium in the medium passing through the discrimination unit 25 is conveyed along the third conveyance path 153 and is drawn into the second space 122 through the intake path 155. On the other hand, a medium determined to be an abnormal medium among the media passing through the distinguishing unit 25 may be recovered by the recovery cassettes 46 and 47.

As another example, media determined to be an abnormal medium among the media that have passed through the distinguishing unit 25 may be integrated in the temporary storage unit 30. And, when withdrawal transaction is completed, the withdrawal can be recovered to the additional function cassette 45 or the recovery cassettes 46, 47.

When the withdrawal of the medium for withdrawal to the second space 122 is completed, the shutter 124 is unlocked and / or opened so that the user can take out the medium located in the second space 122. That is, in the withdrawal process, the second space 122 serves as a withdrawal space in which a medium for withdrawal is located.

<Uncollected collection process>

FIG. 22 is a view showing the transportation of the medium in the unapplication process according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 22, when the user does not receive the medium located in the second space 122 after the dispensing process is completed, the media processing apparatus 10 can automatically recover the un-received medium.

The unsealed medium integrated in the second space 122 is separated by the second separation device and transferred to the withdrawal path 156. The medium conveyed to the withdrawal path 156 is conveyed along the first conveyance path 151 and passes through the discrimination part 25.

Among the medium for withdrawal from the discrimination unit 25, the normal medium is returned to any one of the temporary accumulation unit 30, the medium storage unit 40, the additional function cassette 45 and the recovery cassettes 46 and 47 .

On the other hand, an abnormal medium among the media for withdrawal from the discriminating unit 25 may be recovered to another one of the temporary accumulation unit 30, the additional function cassette 45, and the recovery cassettes 46 and 47.

For example, the financial device 2 may communicate with the host server, but after the withdrawal transaction is completed, the transaction can not be canceled. In this case, the non-received medium can be transferred to the temporary storage section 30. [ In this case, the user interface 15 may receive an instruction for depositing the non-received media from the additional function cassette 45 in the safe 70, It can be recovered by the recovery cassettes 46 and 47.

As another example, when the financial instrument 2 can not communicate with the host server, the communication with the host server can be performed by the staff terminal, for example. In this case, in this case, the non-received medium can be stored in any one of the additional function cassette 45, the media storage unit 40 and the collection cassettes 46, 47 in the safe 70 have.

As another example, if the transaction can be canceled after the withdrawal transaction is completed while the financial instrument 2 communicates with the host server, the unreceived medium may be transferred to the additional function cassette 45, May be stored in any one of the media storage unit (40) and the recovery cassette (46, 47).

If the user is a staff member, two or more members can use one financial instrument at the same time. If a member has not received the medium after the completion of the withdrawal process, the other member shall not use the financial instrument unless the medium has been received.

However, according to the present embodiment, since the unreceived medium can be automatically recovered and the next transaction can be performed after the collection is completed, work efficiency is improved when two or more clerks use, Is improved.

Unlike the above description, the non-received medium placed in the second space 122 can be transferred to the non-receiving medium collecting space without passing through the discriminating portion 25. [

Regardless of the terminology used herein, the space in which the un-received medium is recovered can be referred to as the unoccupied medium recovery space. That is, one or more of the additional function cassette 45, the media storage unit 40, and the collection cassettes 46, 47 may include unredeemed media recovery space.

&Lt; Rapid deposit / Supplement using the first space >

FIG. 23 is a view showing the transfer of the medium in the rapid dispensing process according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

23, when the user interface 15 receives the rapid deposit command, the medium integrated in the first space 121 is separated one by one by the first separator, . The normal medium may be transferred to the media storage unit 40 and accumulated without passing through the temporary accumulation process.

On the other hand, an abnormal medium among the media passing through the distinguishing unit 25 may be transferred to the second space 122.

The medium transferred to the second space 122 may be passed through the discriminating part 25 after being separated one by one by the second separating device.

The normal medium may be transferred to the medium storage unit 40 and accumulated in the medium again after the discrimination unit 25.

On the other hand, the unsteady medium among the media passing through the discrimination unit 25 includes the temporary accumulation unit 30, the additional function cassette 45, the third space 123, and the recovery cassettes 46 and 47 according to the state of the medium. As shown in FIG.

For example, the falsified medium is transferred to the temporary storage unit 30, the medium not recognized in the identification unit 25 is transferred to the recovery cassettes 46 and 47, and the defective medium is transferred to the additional function cassette 45, and various other cases may be considered.

As another example, of the media determined to be abnormal media, a medium that needs to be returned to the user may be transferred to the third space 123, and a medium that does not need to be returned to the user may be transferred to the additional function cassette 45, , The recovery cassette (46, 47) and the temporary accumulation unit (30).

In the present embodiment, the first space 121 does not have a medium pressure device for pressurizing the accumulated medium. On the other hand, in the second space 122, there is a medium pressure device for pressurizing the accumulated medium. Therefore, the possibility of pickup failure of the medium integrated in the first space 121 becomes higher than the possibility of pickup failure of the medium integrated in the second space 122.

According to the present embodiment, even if it is determined that the medium picked up in the first space 121 is in an abnormal state, the medium is not immediately recovered, but is transported to the second space 122, There is an advantage that the recovery rate of the medium can be reduced.

<Settlement process _ partial settlement>

24 is a view illustrating a process of performing settlement using a part of a medium stored in a media cassette according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 24, when the financial transaction is completed, the financial transaction is started, or when the user interface 15 receives the partial settlement command, a certain number of media may be ejected from one of the plurality of media cassettes have. The medium discharged from the one media cassette may be transferred to the second space 122 after passing through the discriminating portion 25. [ At this time, the shutter 124 is in a locked state in a state in which the second space 122 is closed in the medium normal process.

In the course of passing the predetermined number of media through the discriminating unit 25, the discriminating unit 25 can recognize the serial number of each of the predetermined number of media.

The control unit 16 compares the serial number of each of the predetermined number of media recognized by the discrimination unit 25 with the serial number stored in the memory 17.

If the serial number of each of the predetermined number of media and the serial number stored in the memory 17 do not match, the serial number information stored in the memory 17 may be modified and the modified serial number may be stored.

If the serial number of at least one of the serial numbers of the predetermined number of media is not stored in the memory 17 or the order of serial numbers of the media is changed and stored, The serial number of the media stored in the actual media cassette can be matched with the serial number of the media stored in the memory.

When the settlement of the medium is completed, the medium accumulated in the second space 122 can be transported to the one medium cassette after passing through the discriminating portion 25 after being separated by the second separating device.

The financial instrument 2 of this embodiment can perform the full settlement, and the entire settlement method and the transfer of the medium are the same as those described in Fig. 12 of the first embodiment, and therefore, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to the present invention, since the settlement can be performed using a predetermined number of media, there is an advantage that it can be settled simply.

As another example, the one or more media cassettes of the plurality of media cassettes may further include a temporary accumulation space for temporary accumulation function. For example, the temporary storage space and the storage space for storing the medium may be separated in the one media cassette. In this case, a predetermined number of media for settlement can be transferred to the temporary integrated space in the media cassette, and then, once the settlement is completed, the media can be transferred to the one media cassette again.

As another example, one or more of the plurality of media cassettes may be a multi-stage cassette that may have multiple spaces. That is, the media can be independently stored in a plurality of spaces in the media cassette, and the media in each space can be separated by the separating device and discharged outside the media cassette.

In this case, a predetermined number of media for settlement may be transferred to one of the multistage cassettes, and then, once the settlement is completed, the medium may be transferred to the one medium cassette.

When the settlement of one of the plurality of media cassettes is completed, the next media cassette can be settled.
