This is a drawing showing what it would look like.

Referring to FIG. 8, the control unit 60 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail. The control unit 60 includes a withdrawal determination unit 61 for selectively determining that one of packaged foreign currency and current currency is withdrawn; A package withdrawal control unit 62 that operates and controls the package withdrawal means, and a field withdrawal control unit 63 that operates and controls the field withdrawal means, and a final confirmation for final confirmation that the foreign packaged packages placed in the withdrawal box are correctly withdrawn when foreign packages are withdrawn. unit 64, a door control unit 65 for operating and controlling the withdrawal door 75, a collection control unit 66 for operating and controlling a recovery means to collect packaged foreign currency in the packaged foreign currency drawer 70, and packaging It may be configured to include a collection response unit 67 that performs countermeasures for the collection of packaged foreign currency upon collection of foreign currency.

The withdrawal determination unit 61 may determine to selectively withdraw packaged foreign currency or on-site foreign currency based on the withdrawal request information obtained from the kiosk user through the touch screen 12 or the user authentication unit 13 . The withdrawal determination unit 61 may determine whether the kiosk user is a reservation user or an on-site exchange requester based on the withdrawal request information obtained from the kiosk user and the exchange reservation information stored in the information storage unit 15 .

The withdrawal determining unit 61 may determine to withdraw foreign currency on-site when the kiosk user is an on-site currency exchange requester. In addition, when the kiosk user is a reservation user, the withdrawal decision unit 61 basically determines that the packaged foreign currency is withdrawn, but if a problem occurs in the withdrawal of the packaged foreign currency due to a problem such as an error in the arrangement of the packaged foreign currency, the on-site foreign currency is withdrawn. can decide to be

When the package withdrawal control unit 62 determines to withdraw the packaged foreign currency from the withdrawal determination unit 61, the package withdrawal unit 40 may be operated and controlled to find and withdraw the packaged foreign currency reserved by the person making the reservation.

Specifically, when the withdrawal determination unit 61 determines to withdraw packaged foreign currency, the package withdrawal control unit 62 receives reservation user identification information provided through the user authentication unit 13 or withdrawal request information provided through the touch screen 12. And, based on the packaged foreign currency arrangement information stored in the information storage unit 15, the packaged foreign currency placement space 21 in which the packaged foreign currency reserved by the kiosk user is placed is determined, and the packaged foreign currency in the packaged foreign currency placement space 21 It is possible to operate and control the package withdrawal means 40 to withdraw.

When the withdrawal determination unit 61 determines on-site foreign currency withdrawal, the on-site withdrawal control unit 63 may operate and control the on-site withdrawal means to withdraw the on-site foreign currency of the requested amount and bill type accordingly.

Specifically, when the withdrawal determination unit 61 determines on-site foreign currency withdrawal, the on-site withdrawal control unit 63 receives the withdrawal request information provided through the touch screen 12 or the reservation user identification provided through the user authentication unit 13. Based on the information and the exchange reservation information stored in the information storage unit 15, the amount of money for each type of note to be withdrawn may be determined, and the on-site withdrawal means 50 may be operated and controlled so that the determined amount for each type of note is counted and withdrawn.

The final confirmation unit 64 may finally confirm whether or not the packaged foreign money disposed in the packaged foreign currency withdrawal box 70 is the packaged foreign currency correctly withdrawn according to the withdrawal request information. That is, the final confirmation unit 64 may finally confirm whether or not the packaged foreign currency placed in the packaged foreign currency withdrawal box 70 is the same as the packaged foreign currency reserved by the kiosk user before providing the packaged foreign currency to the kiosk user.

To this end, the final confirmation unit 64 operates and controls the identification unit 85 to identify the identifier (i) of the packaged foreign currency when the packaged foreign currency is withdrawn from the package withdrawal control unit 62, and identifies the identifier (i) for identification. Identification information generated in unit 85 may be provided. The final confirmation unit 64 compares the received identification information with the withdrawal request information to determine whether the packaged foreign currency correctly withdrawn according to the kiosk user's reservation is correct.

The door control unit 65 operates and controls the take-out door 75 so that the take-out door 75 is locked or unlocked. Normally, the take-out door 75 is operated and controlled to be in a locked state, and then at the final confirmation unit 64 If it is determined that the packaged foreign currency placed in the packaged foreign currency withdrawal box is not the packaged foreign currency reserved by the kiosk user, the withdrawal door 75 is operated and controlled to remain locked, and the final confirmation unit 64 determines the packaged foreign currency placed in the packaged foreign currency drawer. If it is determined that is the correctly withdrawn packaged foreign currency, as shown in (a) of FIG. 9 , the withdrawal door 75 may be operated and controlled to unlock the withdrawal door 75 . At this time, the take-out door 75 may be automatically opened or only unlocked and manually opened by the kiosk user.

And, when the final confirmation unit 64 determines that the packaged foreign currency placed in the packaged foreign currency withdrawal box is not the packaged foreign currency reserved by the kiosk user, the collection control unit 66 allows the packaged foreign currency to be recovered to the packaged foreign currency collection box 80. can Specifically, as shown in (b) of FIG. 9 , the collection controller 66 causes the second roller 91 to rotate in one direction to transport the packaged foreign currency in one direction in order to collect the packaged foreign currency b3. The second roller 91 may be operated and controlled, and the second security door 73 may be operated and controlled to open the second security door 73 at the same time.

In this way, when the present invention withdraws the packaged foreign currency and provides it to the booker, it is finally checked whether the packaged foreign currency reserved right before the booker acquires the packaged foreign currency withdrawn and the packaged foreign currency of another person is incorrectly withdrawn by recovering it , it is possible to prevent someone else's packaged foreign currency from being provided when the reserved currency exchange service is provided.

The collection response unit 67 may perform necessary follow-up actions according to the collection of packaged foreign currency. Specifically, when the packaged foreign currency is collected, the collection response unit 67 may send an alarm notifying that the packaged foreign currency has been collected to the manager who manages the currency exchange kiosk 1 . This alarm may be a message transmitted to the server 3 or an administrator terminal. Accordingly, the manager who receives the alarm can quickly come to the exchange kiosk and rearrange the recovered packaged foreign currency or determine the cause of the incorrect withdrawal of the packaged foreign currency and take corrective action.

However, if packaged foreign currency is incorrectly withdrawn, the kiosk user who is using the exchange service through the exchange kiosk (1) and the original owner of the incorrectly withdrawn foreign currency may not be provided with the exchange service until the manager takes action. there is. The recovery response unit 67 may also take measures for this, and a more detailed description thereof will be described later with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12 .

10 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a reserved exchange service at a currency exchange kiosk according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 10 , a process of providing a reserved exchange service by a currency exchange kiosk according to the present embodiment will be described.

When the withdrawal decision unit 61 determines that the kiosk user is a reservation user based on the withdrawal request information obtained from the kiosk user through the touch screen 12 or the user authentication unit 13, the package withdrawal control unit 62 controls the package withdrawal control unit 62 It is possible to operate and control the package withdrawal means 40 so that the package withdrawal means 40 is withdrawn from the storage unit 20 (S11).

When the packaged foreign currency is withdrawn from the packaged foreign currency storage unit 20 and placed in the packaged foreign currency withdrawal box 70, the identification unit 85 generates identification information (S12), and the final confirmation unit 64 confirms that the kiosk user has reserved It can be determined whether the packaged foreign currency has been correctly withdrawn (S13).

If the packaged foreign currency reserved by the kiosk user is correctly withdrawn (S13-Y), the door control unit 65 unlocks the withdrawal door 75 so that the kiosk user is placed in the packaged foreign currency drawer 70. It is possible to obtain packaged foreign currency (S14).

On the other hand, if the packaged foreign currency reserved by the kiosk user in advance has not been correctly withdrawn (S13-N), the door control unit 65 operates and controls the withdrawal door 75 so that the locking state of the withdrawal door 75 is maintained ( S15), the collection control unit 66 operates and controls the collection means 90 to collect the packaged foreign currency disposed in the packaged foreign currency collection box 80, and the collection correspondence unit 67 can send a packaged foreign currency collection alarm to the manager. (S16).

In addition, when the packaged foreign currency is collected, the collection response unit 67 may determine whether the packaged foreign currency requested by the kiosk user to be withdrawn is still stored in the packaged foreign currency storage unit 20 (S17).

If the packaged foreign currency requested by the kiosk user is still stored in the packaged foreign currency storage unit 20 (S17-Y), the package withdrawal control unit 62 controls the operation of the package withdrawal means 40 so that the packaged foreign currency is withdrawn. It can (S11). Incidentally, if the foreign packaged money requested by the kiosk user to be withdrawn is still stored in the packaged foreign currency storage unit 20, it may be the case that another packaged foreign currency is withdrawn due to an operating error of the package withdrawal means 40 or the like.

On the other hand, if the packaged foreign currency requested by the kiosk user for withdrawal is still not stored in the packaged foreign currency storage unit 20 (S17-N), the recovery response unit 67 transfers the on-site foreign currency stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 30 to the kiosk. It may be determined whether the reserved currency exchange service requested by the user can be provided (S18).

Such determination may be made by comparing price information for each bill type of packaged foreign currency based on the identification information and price information for each bill type of on-site foreign currency stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit. For example, if the amount information for each bill type of the packaged foreign currency is 200 dollars in a 100-dollar bill and 50 dollars in a 10-dollar bill, the collection response unit 67 stores more than 200 dollars in the 100-dollar bill in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21. stored, and at the same time, it is judged whether the 10-dollar bill is stored in the amount of 50 dollars or more, and it can be judged whether the corresponding reservation exchange service can be provided in foreign currency on-site.

If it is determined that the reservation exchange service can be provided in the on-site foreign currency (S18-Y), the collection response unit 67 requests the provision of the corresponding exchange service through the on-site foreign currency, and the withdrawal determination unit 61 determines the on-site foreign currency accordingly. It is determined to provide the reserved currency exchange service through, and the on-site withdrawal control unit 63 can operate and control the on-site withdrawal means 40 so that on-site foreign currency is withdrawn accordingly (S19).

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is impossible to provide the reserved currency exchange service in an on-site foreign currency (S18-N), the collection response unit 67 may cancel the reserved currency exchange service (S20).

At this time, specific information such as the reason for canceling the reservation exchange and the contents are transmitted to the server 3, and the manager can take swift action through this.

For example, the server 3 transmits a message about canceling the reserved exchange service and how to respond thereto to the reservation terminal 5 of the corresponding currency exchange reservation person (kiosk user), and the manager normally provides the canceled reservation exchange service. The amount of money reserved for exchange can be delivered directly to the kiosk user.

11 is a functional block diagram of a collection response unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a process of responding to packaged foreign currency collected from an exchange kiosk according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The collection response unit 67 not only responds so that the kiosk user who has not received the reserved exchange service normally due to incorrect withdrawal of packaged foreign currency can receive the reserved exchange service, but also allows the original owner of the incorrectly withdrawn packaged foreign currency to receive the reserved exchange service normally. can respond so that

To this end, as shown in FIG. 11, the collection response unit 67 includes a storage amount information acquisition unit 671 for obtaining information on the amount of money for each type of bill stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit, and the recovered packaged foreign currency (hereinafter referred to as 'recovery'). (referred to as 'foreign currency'). A collection information acquisition unit 672 that acquires various information, a payability determination unit 673 that determines whether reservation exchange service can be provided through on-site foreign currency instead of collected foreign currency, and on-site foreign currency It may be configured to include a reserved foreign currency designation unit 674 for designating some of the foreign currencies as reserved foreign currencies, and a reservation change request unit 675 for requesting a reservation change to the reservation user terminal 5.

Hereinafter, each component of the recovery response unit 67 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

The storage amount information acquisition unit 671 may obtain information on the amount of money for each bill type stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit through the information stored in the information storage unit 15 . Further, the collection information acquisition unit 672, based on the identification information of the collected foreign currency generated by the identification unit 85, at least among information on the person who reserved the foreign currency to be collected, scheduled withdrawal time information, and amount information for each type of packaged foreign currency. One piece of information can be obtained (S31).

The payable determination unit 673 uses the amount information for each bill type stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21 acquired by the storage amount information acquisition unit 671 and the amount information for each packaged bill type acquired from the collection information acquisition unit 672. By comparison, it is possible to determine whether payment can be made with the on-site foreign currency stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21 by making the same amount for each type of ticket packaged in the collected foreign currency (S32).

If it is possible to pay through on-site foreign currency by making the same amount for each ticket type packed in the collected foreign currency (S32-Y), the reserved foreign currency designation unit 674 selects the collected foreign currency among the on-site foreign currency stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21 On-site foreign currency corresponding to the amount of each type of wrapped ticket may be designated as the reserved foreign currency (S33).

At this time, if the reserved foreign currency is designated for the collected foreign currency, the collection response unit 67 may transmit a processing result for this to the server 3 to notify that the corresponding processing for the packaged foreign currency has been completed. This is to let the manager know that it is not necessary to collect packaged foreign currency and countermeasures relatively quickly, and through this, the manager can efficiently determine the management priority.

Here, the amount information for each type of ticket designated as the reserved foreign currency and the reserved foreign currency target person (reserver for the collection package) are separately stored in the information storage unit 15, and stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21 stored in the information storage unit 15 The stored price information for each bill type may be updated and stored after deducting the reserved foreign currency designation.

Therefore, the reserved foreign currency designated by the reserved foreign currency designation unit 674 may not be withdrawn to the on-site currency exchange requester, and the withdrawal determination unit 61 determines the reserved foreign currency stored in the information storage unit 15 when the booker of the collected foreign currency requests withdrawal. Based on the target person information, on-site foreign currency withdrawal may be determined so that reservation exchange service is provided through on-site foreign currency. At this time, the information storage unit 15 may update the deduction for the on-site foreign currency withdrawn when the on-site foreign currency is withdrawn from the amount information for each denomination type designated as the reserved foreign currency instead of the amount information for each denomination type stored in the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21. there is.

On the other hand, if it is not possible to pay through the on-site foreign currency by making the amount of each ticket type packed in the collected foreign currency the same (S32-N), the payable determination unit 673 determines the on-site foreign currency acquired by the stored amount information acquisition unit 671 By comparing the amount information for each type of note stored in the storage unit 21 with the amount information for each type of wrapped note acquired from the collection information acquisition unit 672, the amount packed in the collected foreign currency is different from the type of note, and the on-site foreign currency storage unit 21 ) It can be determined whether payment is possible in the field foreign currency stored in (S34).

If it is determined that the amount packaged in the collected foreign currency can be paid in on-site foreign currency by making the ticket type different (S34-Y), the reservation change request unit 675 converts the collected foreign currency into the on-site foreign currency of the ticket type payable to the booker who reserved the collected foreign currency. Reservation change can be requested (S35).

For example, when the collected foreign currency occurs, the amount packed in the recovered foreign currency is 200 dollars in 100 dollar bills and 100 dollars in 10 dollar bills, which is a total of 300 dollars. If there is not enough dollar bills, a message requesting exchange of 300 dollars for 100 dollar bills by changing the type of exchange note may be transmitted to the reservation terminal 5 .

At this time, when a reservation change request is made according to the type of denomination, the reserved foreign currency specifying unit 674 may designate the requested amount for each type of denomination of the foreign currency as the reserved foreign currency. This is to prevent the amount of money for each ticket type requested for change from being withdrawn to the on-site exchange requester until the exchange reservation person decides on the reservation change request. If the exchange booker accepts the reservation change, the designated reserved foreign currency is maintained, but if rejected, the designated reserved foreign currency can be returned to the on-site foreign currency.

On the other hand, if the amount packed in the collected foreign currency is not payable through the on-site foreign currency even if the type of note is different (S34-N), the reservation change request unit 675 plans to withdraw the collected foreign currency based on the identification information of the collected foreign currency It is possible to check the remaining time until the time, and determine whether the remaining time is within a predetermined time (S36).

If the remaining time is within a predetermined time (S36-Y), the reservation change requesting unit 675 may request a postponement of the expected withdrawal time from the reservation terminal 5 that has reserved the foreign currency collection (S37). This is because there is not enough time for the administrator to come to the site and take action on the recovered foreign currency if there is little time left until the scheduled withdrawal time.

On the other hand, if the remaining time exceeds a predetermined time (S36-N), countermeasures for the recovered foreign currency may be terminated. In this case, a manager would have to come to the site quickly and take action on the recovered foreign currency (for example, redeployment of the recovered foreign currency).

Preferably, if the reserved foreign currency for the collected foreign currency is designated or the exchange booker accepts the request for changing the reservation, the collection response unit 67 transmits the processing result for this to the server 3 so that the corresponding processing for the packaged foreign currency is completed. you can tell it has happened. This is to let the manager know that it is not necessary to collect packaged foreign currency and countermeasures relatively quickly, and through this, the manager can efficiently determine the management priority.
