FIG. 1-10 are views for explaining an embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] As used herein, the term “paper sheet processing system” is used as a concept including “paper sheet processing apparatus 100”. Thus, the paper sheet processing system defined in the attached claims may mean the paper sheet processing device 100 itself or any combination of the paper sheet processing system 100 and other device (s). Hereinafter, basically, a paper sheet processing system means a combination of a paper sheet processing system 100 and other devices. In addition, as used herein, “paper sheets” means banknotes, checks, coupons, receipts or the like. As a common example, they mean banknotes.

[0025] The paper sheet processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is located, for example, in a bank branch. As shown in FIG. 2 and 3, the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment includes: a housing 1, a receiving unit 11 located on the housing 1 in which a plurality of paper sheets are received; an intake unit 10 configured to pick up a plurality of paper sheets received by the receiving unit 11, one after the other, into the housing 1; a transport unit 70 configured to transport paper sheets that have been picked up into the housing 1 by the intake unit 10; a recognition unit 55, configured to recognize and count paper sheets transported by the transport unit 70; a stacking unit 60 configured to stack at least a portion of the paper sheets recognized by the recognition unit 55; and a rejection unit 65 configured to stack paper sheets not stacked in the stacking unit 60 from among the paper sheets that have passed the recognition unit 55. Herein, the pickup unit 10 may pick up paper sheets in the housing 1 automatically when paper sheets are detected in the reception unit 11. Alternatively, the pickup unit 10 may pick up the paper sheets received by the reception unit 11 into the housing 1 after receiving an input command from an operation unit 80 of a processing device or the like, which is described below.

[0026] Hereinafter, as the present embodiment, the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 2 and 3. However, it should be noted that the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is only an example. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, another paper sheet processing apparatus 100 'may be applied, including a plurality of stacking units 60' (specifically, four stacking units) and a plurality of reject units 65 '(specifically, two reject units). In FIG. 10, the same functional blocks as functional blocks in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 2 and 3 are represented by the same license plates along with the apostrophe (').

[0027] An opening is provided on the front side (left side of FIG. 3) of the stacking unit 60. The bank teller or other operator can pull the paper sheets stacked in the stacking unit 60 through the hole. In addition, another hole is provided on the front side of the reject block 65. The bank teller or other operator can pull the paper sheets stacked in the reject block 65 through the hole. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2 and 3, a shutter 64 is provided on the front side of the stacking unit 60, which can be opened and closed. As described above, the present embodiment is explained in such a way that a shutter 64 is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this way. In other words, there is no need to provide such a curtain 64.

[0028] When the recognition unit 55 of the present embodiment recognizes the banknote as a paper sheet, the recognition unit 55 recognizes: face value, unsuitability, face up / face down, new / old, orientation, genuine / counterfeit, or the like. In addition, the recognition unit 55 has an OCR (optical character recognition) function so that the recognition unit 55 can read the serial number of the paper sheet as recognition information. In general, the serial number is printed on the right side and the left side of the banknote, and the recognition unit 55 reads the printed serial number on both sides. When the recognition unit 55 reads the serial number, the recognition unit 55 calculates the degree of recognition of the OCR function and / or the status of recognition of serial numbers. In this document, the degree of recognition of the OCR function is the degree of recognition of serial numbers, which is presented as a value between 0% -100%. The recognition status of serial numbers corresponds to the degree of recognition of the OCR function. For example, the recognition status of serial numbers is evaluated by the following four categories.

[0029]

[Table 1] Recognition status OCR function recognition rate VERY GOOD one hundred% GOOD 85% -99% SATISFACTORY 70% -84% NOT GOOD less than 70%

[0030] As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of separating elements 71 are provided on the transport unit 70 for appropriately separating paper sheets transported by the transport unit 70. In addition, a plurality of sensors 72 are provided on the transport unit 70 (see FIG. 4), each of which is configured to detect a paper sheet that passes through the transport unit 70, or to detect if the paper sheet or not. Although not shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of sensors 72 are disposed along the transport unit 70. A sensor 72 located in the stacking unit 60 is used to detect the presence of a paper sheet in the stacking unit 60. Another sensor 72 located in the reject block 65 is used to detect the presence of a paper sheet in the reject block 65.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment further includes: a processing apparatus display unit 81 on which predetermined information can be displayed, and an operation unit 80 of the processing apparatus by which the predetermined information can be input. The display unit 81 of the processing device may be made with a liquid crystal display or the like. In the present embodiment, the processing unit display unit 81 and the processing unit operation unit 80 are separated from each other. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. The processing unit display unit 81 and the processing unit operation unit 80 may be integral with each other. For example, the processing unit display unit 81 and the processing unit operation unit 80 may be made with a conventional touch panel.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 4, the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment further includes: a storage unit 51 of a control device in which various information can be stored, and a control unit 50 of a control device by which corresponding units included in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 are controlled. The storage unit 51 of the control device may be included in the “storage unit” defined in the attached claims. The control unit 50 of the control device may be included in the "control unit" defined in the attached claims

[0033] In the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 2 and 3, a counting result in recognition of paper sheets (for example, the total amount of money, the number of paper sheets, or the like) that was displayed on the display unit 81 of the processing device can be returned to the value “0” (zero) when the block 50 the control of the control device decides that there are no more paper sheets in the stacking unit 60 or in the reject unit 65, based on information from the sensors 72 provided in the stacking unit 60 and the sensors 72 provided in the reject unit 65. Alternatively, a counting result for recognizing paper sheets (e.g., the total amount of money, the number of paper sheets, or the like) that was displayed on the display unit 81 of the processing device can be returned to the value "0" (zero) when the unit 50 the control of the control device decides that there are no more paper sheets in the stacking unit 60 or the reject unit 65, based on information from the sensors 72 provided in the stacking unit 60 and the sensors 72 provided in the reject unit 65, and when the control unit 50 device pack the control further decides that one or more paper sheets are placed in the receiving unit 11 based on information from sensors 72 provided in the receiving unit 11 (not shown in FIGS. 2 and 3).

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, a paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is connected to a paper sheet management apparatus 200 configured to control various information including paper sheet recognition information. In FIG. 1, one paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is connected to one paper sheet management apparatus 200. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. For example, a plurality of paper sheet processing apparatuses 100 may be connected to one paper sheet management apparatus 200.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 4, the paper sheet management apparatus 200 includes: a storage unit 251 of a control device configured to store recognition information related to a plurality of paper sheets, the recognition information obtained by a recognition unit 55 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100; and a control unit 250 of the control device configured to control the respective constituent units of the paper sheet management device 200. In the present embodiment, the control unit 250 of the control device is also configured to leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device and delete another recognition information, evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the storage unit 251 of the control device is included in the “storage unit” defined in the attached claims, and the control unit 250 of the control device is included in the “control unit” defined in the attached claims. When the paper sheet is a banknote, its face value and its serial number (type of recognition information) can be associated with each other and subsequently stored in the memory unit 251 of the control device.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to a plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction , and deleting other recognition information evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device. In this case, the control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information relating to the plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction and to delete another recognition information evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device when an input command to confirm one transaction is input from the operation unit 80 of the device processing or operating unit 280 of the control device, which is described below.

[0038] However, the present invention is not limited to the above manner. The control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in the plurality of transactions and to delete other recognition information evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device. In this case, the control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in the plurality of transactions and to delete another recognition information evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device, for example, when an input command for compressing the recognition information data for a plurality of trans ktsy entered from the operation unit 80 or a processing device operating unit 280 controls, as described below.

[0039] The control unit 250 of the control device may be able to search for recognition information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device for the target paper sheet in a fuzzy manner. The memory unit 251 of the control device can be configured to, when the control unit 250 of the control device of the fuzzy search is carried out, store each of two or more pieces of potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by the fuzzy search. In addition, the display unit 281 of the control device may display two or more pieces of potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by fuzzy search (see Fig. 9 (b)).

[0040] As a specific example, when “H9I12345678” and “H91I2345678” are obtained as candidates for recognition information of a target paper sheet using a fuzzy search using a specific “threshold value”, both of “H9I12345678” and “H91I2345678” can be stored in a storage unit 251 control devices. Herein, as shown in FIG. 9 (b) when any of two or more pieces of potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by fuzzy search (“H9I12345678” and “H91I2345678” in Fig. 9 (b)) is the same as the other recognition information, which has already been stored in the memory unit 251 of the control device (recognition information in step "007" in Fig. 9 (b)), each of two or more pieces of potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by fuzzy search can be stored.

[0041] When "H9I12345678" and "H91I2345678" were obtained as candidates for recognition information of the target paper sheet as described above, a paper sheet whose recognition information was recognized as "H9I12345678" and a paper sheet whose recognition information was recognized as "H91I2345678", and the target paper sheet is evaluated having recognition information, which should be evaluated as matching information. Herein, if the above “threshold value” is appropriately changed, the conditions for the fuzzy search are appropriately changed.

[0042] After conducting a fuzzy search, the control unit 250 of the control device can leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the memory unit 251 of the control device, and delete other recognition information, evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device when the amount of issued money based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing device is larger, than the entered amount of issued money, which was entered from the operation unit 280 of the control device, or when the amount of the deposited money based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing device, is larger than the entered amount of the deposited money that was entered from the operation unit 280 of the control device; or when the number based on the result of the actual count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is greater than the inputted number of the issued paper sheets that has been input from the operation unit 280 of the control device; or when the number based on the result of the actual count of the paper sheet processing apparatus is greater than the input number of the input paper sheets that has been input from the operation unit 280 of the control device, or, according to the above image, erroneous recognition information that is not should be evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 251 of the control device. When at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information is left, and the other recognition information evaluated as matching information is deleted, only completely matching recognition information is removed from the number of received candidates, different recognition information from the number of candidates is left and is stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device.

[0043] When the paper sheet is a banknote, the control unit 250 of the control device can be configured to leave at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the memory unit 251 of the control device related to one face value, and removing other recognition information, evaluated as matching information, from the storage unit 251 of the control device. In the example shown in FIG. 9 (a), the serial number of the 100 yuan banknote is recognized as “H006698298” in the step “001”, and the serial number of the 100 yuan banknote is recognized as “H006698298” in the step “005”, and thus, these 100 yuan banknotes are evaluated as matching. As a result, the count data of step “005” is deleted (see FIG. 9 (b)). In the same way, the serial number of the 100 yuan banknote is recognized as “GG11223344” in the step “002”, and the serial number of the 100 yuan banknote is recognized as “GG11223344” in the step “010”, and thus these 100 yuan banknotes are evaluated as matching. As a result, the count data of step “010” is deleted (see FIG. 9 (b)). However, even if the serial number of the 100 yuan banknote is recognized as "H006698298", the 100 yuan banknote is not evaluated as matching the 10 yuan banknote whose serial number is "H006698298", as the denomination is different. In the same way, even if the serial number of the 10 yuan banknote is recognized as "GG11223344", the 10 yuan banknote is not evaluated as matching the 100 yuan banknote whose serial number is "GG11223344", as the denomination is different.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, a first card reader 110 (first reader) for reading customer ID card information, such as a person who wants to deposit money, or a person who wants to withdraw money, and a second card reader 120 (second reader) card information of a customer’s financial institution, such as a person who wants to deposit money, or a person who wants to withdraw money, can be connected to a paper sheet management device 200. In the present embodiment, the first card reader 110 (first reader) and the second card reader 120 (second reader) are separated from the paper sheet processing device 100. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. For example, the operation unit 80 of the processing device may include a first card reader 110 (first reading unit) and / or a second card reader 120 (second reading unit). The ID card may be, for example, an IC card, the first card reader 110 may be, for example, a contactless card reader. The financial institution card may be a magnetic stripe card or the like, and the second card reader 120 may be a magnetic reader.

[0045] When the first card reader 110 is used, customer ID card information read by the first card reader 110 is transmitted to the paper sheet management device 200. When the second card reader 120 is used, the card information of the customer’s financial institution, read by the second card reader 120, is transmitted to the paper sheet management device 200. Buyer ID card information and financial institution card information of one buyer are associated with the target transaction, and are subsequently stored in the memory unit 251 of the control device.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, the paper sheet management apparatus 200 includes: an operation unit 280 of a control apparatus through which various information can be input; and a display unit 281 of the control device on which information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device can be displayed. In the present embodiment, the control device display unit 281 and the control device operation unit 280 are separated from each other. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. The control unit display unit 281 and the control unit operation unit 280 may be combined with each other. For example, the display unit 281 of the control device and the operation unit 280 of the control device can be made with a common touch panel. In addition, the paper sheet management apparatus 200 of the present embodiment is connected to a printing unit 130, such as a printer. The print unit 130 may print information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device and / or information displayed on the display unit 281 of the control device.

[0047] The processing device display unit 81, the control device display unit 281, and the upper level display unit 381, which is described below, are included in the “warning unit” defined in the appended claims. The warning unit may include not only a type of warning unit that can inform the user visually, like a display unit 81 of the processing device, a display unit 281 of the control device and a top-level display unit 381, but also like another type of warning unit that can communicate information orally using sound or the like.

[0048] For example, the printing unit 130 prints: transaction date, bank name, bank branch name, customer name, customer ID card information (for example, customer code), customer financial institution card information (for example, card code), the total amount issued money, the total amount of money deposited, transaction ID, or the like (see Fig. 8). All or part of this information and / or other information may be printed as a QR code (registered trademark). As an example, a transaction ID is printed as a QR code. As another example, the recognition information of paper sheets included in the target transaction may be printed as a QR code. When the buyer conducts the issuing process, an operator, such as a bank teller, transmits to the buyer a cash payment receipt printed by the printing unit 130. FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing an example of a cash payment receipt printed by the printing unit 130.

[0049] Transaction ID and paper sheet recognition information, such as serial numbers of banknotes included in a transaction corresponding to a transaction ID, are associated with each other and subsequently stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device. Thus, when a transaction ID is searched in the paper sheet management apparatus 200 or the like, paper sheet recognition information associated with the transaction ID can be read.

[0050] The amount of issued money and / or the amount of deposited money may be entered from the operation unit 280 of the control device of the paper sheet management device 200. The amount of issued money and / or the amount of deposited money that was entered from the operation unit 280 of the control device is transferred to the paper sheet processing device 100. The amount of issued money and / or the amount of deposited money may be entered directly as the amount of issued money and / or the amount of deposited money, or may be entered as the number of banknotes for each denomination.

[0051] In the present embodiment, a transaction confirmation (confirmation of the issuing process) in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 can be enabled provided that the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device and the amount issued money, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, coincide with each other. In addition, similarly, a transaction confirmation (confirmation of the deposit process) in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted provided that the amount of money deposited from the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device and the amount of money based based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, coincide with each other. The amount of issued money and / or the amount of deposited money can be entered from the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device before the paper sheets are counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 or after the paper sheets are counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. When a transaction confirmation is completed, a transaction ID is assigned. Subsequently, the transaction ID and recognition information of paper sheets issued or deposited by a transaction corresponding to the transaction ID are associated with each other and subsequently stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device.

[0052] In this description, “the amount of money dispensed based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and “the amount of money dispensed based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after deleting the counting data (data type ), the recognition information of which was evaluated as matching (Fig. 9 (b) and (c)). In other words, after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, the recognition information of which was judged to be the same, and deleting the other counting data, the recognition information of which was judged to be the same, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the counting result related to the left paper sheets may be used as “the amount of issued money based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” or “the amount of deposited money based on the counting result of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” (which corresponds to “pre-confirmed data” in Fig. 9 (b)). In this case, “the amount of issued money based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and the entered amount of issued money are compared with each other. Subsequently, if “the amount of issued money based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and the entered amount of issued money coincide with each other, transaction confirmation is permitted. If “the amount of issued money based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and the entered amount of issued money do not match, transaction confirmation is not permitted. Similarly, “the amount of money deposited based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and the amount of money deposited are compared with each other. Subsequently, if “the amount of the deposited money based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and the entered amount of the deposited money coincide with each other, the transaction confirmation is permitted. If "the amount of money deposited, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100", and the amount of money deposited, do not match, transaction confirmation is not permitted.

[0053] The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to communicate information to offer a recount when the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 280 of the control or operation block 80 of the processing device, and the amount of issued money, based on the result of counting by the processing device 100 of paper sheets, do not coincide with each other. Similarly, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion offer when the amount of money deposited is entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device, and the amount of money deposited based on the result of the counting of the paper sheet processing device 100 does not match. Herein, “the amount of money dispensed based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and “the amount of money dispensed based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the paper sheet counting data, recognition information which was rated as matching, and deletion of other counting data whose recognition information was rated as matching (Fig. 9 (b) and (c)).

[0054] More specifically, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to communicate information to offer a recount when the amount of issued money based on the result of counting by the device 100 paper sheet processing, less than the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device. Similarly, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a recount offer when the amount of money deposited based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, less than the amount of money deposited through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device.

[0055] As described above, “the amount of money dispensed based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” and “the amount of money dispensed based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the paper sheet count data whose recognition information was rated as matching, and deleting other counting data whose recognition information was rated as matching. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. The control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (specifically, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction and to delete other recognition information evaluated as matching information when the amount of issued money based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is greater than the amount of issued money is entered via the operation unit 280 controls the operation unit 80 or the processing apparatus. In addition, likewise, the control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (specifically, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information relating to the plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction and to be deleted other recognition information evaluated as matching information when the amount of money deposited based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is greater than the amount imyh money entered through the operation unit 280 controls the operation unit 80 or the processing apparatus. Herein, the amount of issued money based on the result of the actual calculation by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is included in the amount of issued money based on the result of the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 and the amount of money deposited based on the actual count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, included in the amount of money deposited based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100.

[0056] The present invention is not limited to the above manner. Confirmation of the transaction (confirmation of the issuing process) in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted provided that the number of issued paper sheets entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device and the number of issued paper sheets based on the counting result the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 matches each other. In addition, similarly, a transaction confirmation (confirmation of the deposit process) in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 can be enabled provided that the number of input paper sheets inputted through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device and the number of input paper sheets based on the result of counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, coincide with each other. Herein, “the number of paper sheets based on the counting result of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, the recognition information of which was rated as matching, and deleting the other counting data, the recognition information of which was estimated as matching.

[0057] The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion request when the number of paper sheets outputted is inputted through the operation unit 280 of the control unit or the operation unit 80 of the processing device, and the number of issued paper sheets based on the result of the counting by the paper processing device 100, do not match.

Similarly, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to communicate information to suggest scaling when the number of input paper sheets inputted through the operation unit 280 of the control or operation block 80 of the processing device, and the number of input paper sheets based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 does not match. Herein, as described above, “the number of paper sheets based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, the recognition information of which was judged to be coincident, and deleting other counting data, information recognition of which was rated as matching.

[0058] More specifically, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a counting proposal when the number of paper sheets issued based on the counting result by the apparatus 100 paper sheet processing, less than the number of issued paper sheets entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device. Similarly, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to provide information for a counting proposal when the number of input paper sheets is based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 less than the number of insertion paper sheets inputted through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device.

[0059] As described above, the “number of paper sheets based on the counting result of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, the recognition information of which was judged to be coincident, and deleting other counting data, the recognition information which was rated as matching. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. The control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (specifically, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction and to delete other recognition information evaluated as matching information when the number of issued paper sheets based on the result of the actual counting of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is greater than the number of issued paper sheets entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device. In addition, likewise, the control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (specifically, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information relating to the plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction and to be deleted other recognition information evaluated as matching information when the number of input paper sheets based on the result of the actual counting of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is greater than the number of input paper sheets entered through the operation unit 280 of the control device or the operation unit 80 of the processing device.

[0060] In the present embodiment, transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. The above warning unit or other warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to communicate information for a conversion request if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. In this document, FIG. 9 (a) shows an example in which the serial number of a 100 yuan banknote cannot be read in step “006”. Transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted if the entire serial number of the banknote cannot be read out, such as the example shown in FIG. 9 (a), or transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted, even if only one or more characters of the banknote serial number cannot be read. The above warning block or other block

the warnings provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to provide information for the conversion offer, even if only one or more characters of the banknote serial number cannot be read.

[0061] In the present embodiment, transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted if a paper sheet whose recognition information is the same as the recognition information of another paper sheet is included in one transaction or in multiple transactions. If the paper sheet is a banknote, transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted if a banknote is included whose denomination and recognition information are the same as the denomination and recognition information of another banknote. In this case, the control unit 250 of the control device may be configured to leave at least one (specifically, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information relating to a plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction or in many transactions , and removing other recognition information judged to be matching information.

[0062] Next, an example of the screen displayed on the display unit 281 of the control device is explained. In the main menu shown in FIG. 5, a suitability sorting process, a deposit process, a dispensing process, an ATM dispensing process, a setup process, a serial number recording process, and a search process may be selected. When the suitability sorting process is selected, a so-called paper sheet organization process is conducted in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. For example, when a paper sheet is a banknote, banknotes placed in the receiving unit 11 can be sorted into: banknotes that cannot be used in ATMs hosted by a financial institution such as a bank and are not accepted by a financial institution such as bank (the so-called "UNFIT" -banknotes); Banknotes that cannot be used in ATMs hosted by a financial institution such as a bank, but are accepted by a financial institution such as a bank (so-called “Teller-FIT” banknotes); Banknotes that can be used in ATMs hosted by a financial institution such as a bank and are accepted by a financial institution such as a bank (so-called “ATM-FIT” banknotes); and other banknotes. The first three types of banknotes are stacked in, for example, stacking unit (s) 60. The latter type of banknote is stacked in, for example, reject block 65. When the application process is selected, the paper sheet application process is carried out in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. When the dispensing process is selected, a paper sheet dispensing process is conducted in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. When an ATM issuing process is selected, a banknote issuing process is conducted in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 to replenish ATM reserves. In this case, only “ATM-FIT” banknotes are issued from the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. In addition, the serial number of each issued banknote is read and associated with the ATM, whose stocks must be replenished. When the setting process is selected, it becomes possible to carry out various setting processes for the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. When the serial number recording process is selected, the banknote (s) serial number (s) read by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is stored in the memory unit 251 of the control device or the like, but the depositing process or the issuing process is not performed. When the search process is selected, it becomes possible to search for information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device or the like. As a search key (extraction key), it is possible to use the transaction ID, date and / or time of the target transaction, the ID of the used (target) paper sheet processing device, the ID of the target operator, the serial number of the target banknote, information of the target customer, or the like.

[0063] When the issuing process is selected, a screen for entering card information is displayed as shown in FIG. 6. In the example of FIG. 6, the buyer's ID card information (for example, customer code), the name of the same customer, the card information of the financial institution of the customer (for example, card code), and the name of the same customer are displayed. When the depositing process is selected, a screen for entering map information may be displayed as shown in FIG. 6. Alternatively, the calculated results screen, which is shown in FIG. 7 (a) or (b) can be displayed instead of the screen for entering map information, which is shown in FIG. 6.

[0064] When the banknotes are counted, the counted results screen, which is shown in FIG. 7 (a) or (b) is displayed on the display unit 281 of the control device. The banknote recognition information recognized by the recognition unit 55 of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is displayed immediately on the screen as shown in FIG. 7 (a) or (b). The calculated results screen, which is shown in FIG. 7 (a) is displayed, for example, when an extradition process is being conducted. When the application process is in progress, the calculated results screen, which is shown in FIG. 7 (a), or the calculated results screen, which is shown in FIG. 7 (b). When in the main menu shown in FIG. 5, a suitability sorting process or ATM issuing process is selected instead of the screen shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 7 (a), the screen shown in FIG. 7 (b).

[0065] When an input command for confirming a transaction is inputted from the operation unit 80 of the processing device or the operation unit 280 of the control device, the transaction is confirmed and the screen returns with the calculated results shown in FIG. 7 (a) to the main menu, which is shown in FIG. 5. When the “RETURN” button is pressed on the screen, which is also shown in FIG. 7 (b), the screen returns to the main menu, which is shown in FIG. 5. In this document, if the display unit 281 of the control device and the operation unit 280 of the control device are combined with each other, for example, as a common touch panel, the transaction can be confirmed (approved) by pressing the “FINISH” button on the screen, which is shown in FIG. . 7 (a).

[0066] As shown in FIG. 1, a paper sheet management device 200 is connected to a top-level control unit 300, which is, for example, a bank computer server. The paper sheet recognition information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device of the paper sheet management device 200 (see FIG. 4) is transmitted to the upper level control unit 300 periodically or every time a transaction is confirmed. The paper sheet recognition information stored in the storage unit 251 of the control device of the paper sheet management device 200 may be deleted or overwritten after a predetermined period such as several months has passed. The top-level control unit 300 includes: an upper-level operation unit 380, through which various information is input; a top level storage unit 351 in which paper sheet recognition information transmitted from the paper sheet management apparatus 200 is stored; and a top-level display unit 381 by which information stored in the upper-level storage unit 351 is displayed. When the paper sheet is a banknote, its denomination and its serial number can be associated with each other, and subsequently stored in the storage unit 351 of the upper level. In the present embodiment, the upper level storage unit 351 may be included in the “storage unit” defined in the attached claims, and the upper level control unit 350 may be included in the “control unit” defined in the attached claims.

[0067] As shown in FIG. 1, one top-level control unit 300 can be connected to a plurality of paper sheet management devices 200. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. For example, one top-level control unit 300 may be connected to one paper sheet management device 200.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 1, a top level control unit 300 is connected to a barcode reader 160 (third reading unit) for reading barcode information, such as a QR code. The barcode reader 160 (third reading unit) can read a QR code (see FIG. 8) that was printed on the cash payment receipt that the customer brought with him / her, for example. A transaction ID can be identified from a QR code read by a barcode reader 160. Thus, the recognition information of the paper sheets associated with the cash payment receipt that the buyer brought with him and the recognition information of the actual paper sheets that the buyer brought with him can be compared with each other.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 50 of the processing device is connected to the storage unit 51 of the processing device, the recognition unit 55, sensors 72, the processing unit operation unit 80, the processing unit display unit 81, a shutter 64, etc. The control unit 50 of the processing device is configured to send information or instructions with instructions to these components, and / or receive information or instructions with instructions from these components. The control unit 250 of the control device is connected to a storage unit 251 of the control device, an operation unit 280 of the control device, a display unit 281 of the control device, etc. The control unit 250 of the control device is configured to send information or instructions with instructions to these components, and / or receive information or instructions with instructions from these components. The upper level control unit 350 is connected to the upper level storage unit 351, the upper level operation unit 380, the upper level display unit 381, etc. The top-level control unit 350 is configured to send information or instructions with instructions to these components, and / or receive information or instructions with instructions from these components.

[0070] As described above, the storage unit 251 of the control device, the storage unit 51 of the processing device and the storage unit 351 of the upper level can be included in the "storage unit" defined in the attached claims. In addition, another may be provided - an external storage unit located in an external device. In this case, the external storage unit may be included in the “storage unit” defined in the attached claims. In the present embodiment, an external device means a device other than the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 and the paper sheet management apparatus 200.

[0071] As described above, the control unit 250 of the control device, the control unit 50 of the processing device and the upper level control unit 350 may be included in the “storage unit” defined in the attached claims. In addition, another external control unit located in the external device may be provided. In this case, the external control unit may be included in the “control unit” defined in the attached claims. In addition, another external operating unit located in the external device can be used instead of the operating unit 280 of the control device, the operating unit 80 of the processing device, and the upper level operating unit 380.

[0072] Hereinafter, the "storage unit 51, 251, 351" is used as words representing any one or more of the storage unit 251 of the control device, the storage unit 51 of the processing device, and the upper level storage unit 351. "Control unit 50, 250, 350" is used as words representing any one or more of the control unit 250 of the control device, the control unit 50 of the processing device, and the upper level control unit 350. "Operation block 80, 280, 380" is used as words representing any one or more of the operation block 280 of the control device, the operation block 80 of the processing device, and the upper level operation block 380. A function performed by one of the storage unit 251 of the control device, the storage unit 51 of the processing device and the storage unit 351 of the upper level can be performed by the other one of the storage unit 251 of the control device, the storage unit 51 of the processing device and the storage unit 351 of the upper level. The function performed by one of the control unit 250 of the control device, the control unit 50 of the processing device and the upper level control unit 350 can be performed by the other one of the control unit 250 of the control device, the control unit 50 of the processing device and the upper level control unit 350. A function performed by one of the operation unit 280 of the control device, the operation unit 80 of the processing device and the upper level operation unit 380 can be performed by the other one of the operation unit 280 of the control device, the operation unit 80 of the processing device and the operation unit 380 of the upper level.

[0073] <Method>

Next, a paper sheet processing method using the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is explained. In the following explanation related to the method, banknotes are used for the issuing process and the deposit process as an example. However, the present invention is not limited in this way.

[0074] <Issuance Process>

First, from the buyer, an operator, such as a cashier, receives the buyer’s ID card and / or financial institution card (cash card) of the buyer. When the operator accepts the customer’s ID card and / or customer’s financial institution card, the operator selects the “issuing process” in the main menu, which is shown in FIG. 5. When the "issuing process" is selected, a screen for entering card information is displayed, which is shown in FIG. 6.

Subsequently, the ID card code number and the name of the buyer is read by the operator from the ID card through the first card reader 110 and displayed, and the card code for the financial institution card and the name of the buyer are read by the operator from the financial institution card through the second card reader 120 and displayed.

[0075] Next, the operator prepares banknotes, the amount of money of which corresponds to the amount of money requested by the buyer. Subsequently, prepared banknotes are recognized and counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. Before this stage or after this stage, the operator enters the amount of issued money requested by the buyer through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 on the screen of the calculated results, which is shown in FIG. 7 (a).

[0076] When the banknotes are recognized and counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, the banknotes are placed in the receiving unit 11. When the banknotes are placed in the receiving unit 11, automatically or after receiving the input command from the operation unit 80, 280, 380, the banknotes received by the receiving unit 11 are taken into the housing 1 by means of the intake unit 10. The banknotes collected in the housing 1 are transported to the transport unit 70. The recognition unit 55 recognizes: face value, unsuitability, face up / face down, new / old, orientation, genuine / counterfeit, and serial number of each banknote. Banknotes satisfying the predefined conditions are transported to the stacking unit 60, and other banknotes not satisfying the predefined conditions are transported to the reject unit 65. Banknotes transported to the reject block 65 may again be placed in the receiving block 11 and recognized and counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. Even when the banknotes are transported to the rejection unit 65, if the serial numbers of the banknotes are recognized, the serial numbers can be stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351.

[0077] An example of a case where banknotes do not satisfy predetermined conditions is a case where the degree of recognition of the OCR function is not higher than a predetermined value (a case where the reading impossibility ratio is not greater than a predetermined value). the predetermined value can be appropriately changed by the operation unit 80, 280, 280. The suitability sorting process may not be carried out since the operation of an operator, such as a cashier, becomes complicated. In this case, the banknotes are not transported to the reject block 65. Conversely, if a problem occurs, for example, if the serial number of the banknote cannot be read, such information is reported by the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the upper level display unit 381, and all the banknotes stacked in the unit 60 stacking are again recognized by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100.

[0078] When the banknotes to be issued are recognized and counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, confirmation of the issuing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted provided that the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 , and the amount of issued money, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, coincide with each other. In this document, “the amount of money dispensed based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving alone banknote counting data, the recognition information of which was rated as matching at face value, and deleting other counting data whose recognition information was rated as matching at face value (Fig. 9 (b) (c)). Alternatively, “the amount of money dispensed based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” may be based on the result of the actual count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100.

[0079] The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device, or the upper level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion offer when the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 , and the amount of money issued, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, does not match. More specifically, the warning unit may be configured to report information for a recount proposal when the amount of issued money based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is less than the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 of the control device.

[0080] In the case where “the amount of money dispensed based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” is based on the result of the actual count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, the control unit 50, 250, 350 may be left with at least one piece of recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in the target transaction, and deleting other recognition information rated as matching giving information when the amount of issued money, based on the result of the actual calculation by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, is greater than the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380. In this case, when the denominations are equal, the unit 50, 250, 350 the control may be configured to leave at least one part of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351, and to delete other recognition information rated as matching information from the storage unit 51, 251, 351.

[0081] In order to evaluate whether there is matching information, a fuzzy search may be conducted. For example, when a fuzzy search command is inputted through the operation unit 80, 280, 380, the control unit 50, 250, 350 searches for recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351 for the target paper sheet in a fuzzy manner. More specifically, the control unit 50, 250, 350 decides that when the paper sheet has recognition information that matches one of the plurality of recognition information candidates of another paper sheet, these paper sheets are the same. When a fuzzy search is performed, the storage unit 51, 251, 351 may store each of two or more pieces of potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by the fuzzy search.

[0082] In this document, confirmation of the issuing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. A situation in which paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 includes a situation in which only one or more characters of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the upper level display unit 381 may be configured to provide information for a conversion request if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the processing device 100 paper sheets.

[0083] When the predetermined conditions are satisfied, and thus, the issuing process is finally confirmed on the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, a transaction ID is assigned. Then, the transaction ID and serial numbers of banknotes that were issued by this transaction are associated with each other, and subsequently stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351. Then, the receipt of the cash payment (see Fig. 8) is printed by the printing unit 130, so that the receipt of cash payment and issued banknotes are transferred to the buyer.

[0084] <Application Process>

The following explains the application process. In the deposit process, which will be explained later, neither the buyer's ID-card nor the buyer's cash card are verified. However, the present invention is not limited in this way. In other words, the customer’s ID card and / or customer’s money card can be verified.

[0085] First, from the customer, an operator, such as a cashier, receives banknotes to be deposited. When the operator accepts banknotes, the operator selects the "deposit process" in the main menu, which is shown in FIG. 5.

[0086] Further, banknotes received from the customer by the operator are recognized and counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. Before this step or after this step, the operator enters the amount of money requested by the buyer through the operation unit 80, 280, 380, on the screen of the calculated results, which is shown in FIG. 7 (a). The detailed method by which banknotes are recognized and counted by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is the same as the method explained for the issuing process, and thus its explanation is omitted.

[0087] In this document, confirmation of the deposit process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted provided that the amount of deposit money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380, and the amount of deposit money based on the result of counting by the processing device 100 paper sheets coincide with each other. In this document, “the amount of money deposited based on the counting result of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only banknote counting data, the recognition information of which was rated as matching at face value, and deleting other counting data, the recognition information of which was evaluated as matching at face value. Alternatively, “the amount of money deposited based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” may be based on the result of the actual count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100.

[0088] The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device, or the upper level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion offer when the amount of money deposited through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 , and the amount of money deposited, based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, does not match. More specifically, the warning unit may be configured to report information for a recount proposal when the amount of money deposited based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is less than the amount of money deposited through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 of the control device.

[0089] In the case where “the amount of money deposited based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” is based on the result of the actual count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, the control unit 50, 250, 350 may be left with at least one piece of recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in the target transaction, and deleting other recognition information rated as matching information when the amount of money deposited, based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing device 100, is greater than the amount of money deposited through the operation unit 80, 280, 380. In this case, with the same denomination, the unit 50, 250, 350 the control may be configured to leave at least one part of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351, and to delete other recognition information evaluated as incident information from the storage unit 51, 251, 351.

[0090] In order to evaluate whether there is matching information, a fuzzy search may be conducted. For example, when a fuzzy search command is inputted through the operation unit 80, 280, 380, the control unit 50, 250, 350 searches for recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351 for the target paper sheet in a fuzzy manner. When a fuzzy search is performed, the storage unit 51, 251, 351 may store each of two or more pieces of potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by the fuzzy search.

[0091] In this document, confirmation of the depositing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. A situation in which paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 includes a situation in which only one or more characters of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the upper level display unit 381 may be configured to provide information for a conversion request if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the processing device 100 paper sheets.

[0092] When the predetermined conditions are satisfied, and thus the deposit process is finally confirmed on the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, a transaction ID is assigned. Then, the transaction ID and serial numbers of banknotes that were deposited through this transaction are associated with each other, and subsequently stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351.

[0093] <Achievable technical result>

Next, the technical result achieved by the present embodiment, which is given above, is explained. In particular, the technical result that has not yet been disclosed is explained. An important technical result is also disclosed.

[0094] According to the present embodiment, at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351 is left, and other recognition information rated as matching information, is removed from the storage unit 51, 251, 351. Thus, storage and management of matching data related to the recognition information of paper sheets can be prevented.

[0095] In the present embodiment, at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information relating to the plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction may be left, and other recognition information evaluated as matching information can be deleted from the storage unit 51, 251, 351. Then, storage and management of matching data related to recognition information of paper sheets included in one t can be prevented. transaction.

[0096] Alternatively, in the present embodiment, at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in the plurality of transactions may be left, and another recognition information judged to be matching information can be deleted from the storage unit 51, 251, 351. Then, storage and management of matching data related to the boom recognition information can be prevented. zhnyh sheets included in a variety of transactions. In this case, at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the plurality of paper sheets included in a predetermined number of transactions can be left, and other recognition information rated as matching information can be deleted from the storage unit 51, 251, 351, automatically each time recognition information relating to the set of paper sheets included in a predetermined number of trans It is stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351. Alternatively, instead of the above method, at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information, evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the set of paper sheets included in the set transactions, can be left, and other recognition information, evaluated as matching information, can be deleted from the storage unit 51, 251, 351, each time that the predefined information is entered through operational block 80, 280, 380.

[0097] In the present embodiment, the control unit is capable of searching for recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351 for the target paper sheet in a fuzzy way (fuzzy search). Thus, certain recognition information is judged to be matching in a fuzzy way, even when the recognition information may not be judged to be matching if a conventional search is conducted. As a result, storage and management of matching data related to paper sheet recognition information can be more confidently prevented. The “threshold value” for conducting such a “fuzzy search” can be appropriately changed by the operation unit 80, 280, 380. In this case, it is possible to store and / or manage paper sheet recognition information according to the current situation by adjusting the threshold value based on the current situation.

[0098] When a fuzzy search is performed, and the storage unit 51, 251, 351 stores each of two or more parts of the potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained by the fuzzy search, it is possible to confirm later each of the two or more parts of the potential recognition information of the target paper sheet obtained through fuzzy search. It is also possible to confirm later the fact that a fuzzy search was carried out.

[0099] When the paper sheets are banknotes, the control unit 50, 250, 350 may be configured to leave at least one (eg, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251 , 351 relating to one face value, and deleting other recognition information evaluated as matching information from the storage unit 51, 251, 351. In this case, it can be prevented that the recognition information is rated as matching when Yes, the recognition information is the same as some other recognition information, but their denominations differ from each other. Thus, erroneous recognition information, which should not be evaluated as matching information, from the storage unit 51, 251, 351 can be prevented.

[0100] When a first card reader 110 (first reader) is used, the buyer's ID card information, for example, a person who wants to deposit money, or a person who wants to withdraw money, is read and stored in a storage unit 51, 251, 351 For driving.

[0101] When a second card reader 120 (second reading unit) is used, the card information of a customer’s financial institution, for example, a person who wants to deposit money, or a person who wants to withdraw money, is read and stored in a storage unit 51, 251, 351 For driving.

[0102] Confirmation of the issuing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted only provided that the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 and the amount of issued money based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, match each other. Alternatively, confirmation of the dispensing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 can only be allowed provided that the number of issued paper sheets entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 and the number of issued paper sheets based on the count by the processing apparatus 100 paper sheets coincide with each other. In these cases (although this is indirect, when the number of paper sheets is taken into account), it is possible to avoid the risk of confirming such a process of issuance when the amount of money of paper sheets (usually banknotes) that actually needs to be transferred to the buyer and the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380, based on the request of the buyer, do not match.

[0103] Confirmation of the depositing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted only provided that the amount of deposit money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380, and the amount of deposit money based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, match each other. Alternatively, confirmation of the depositing process in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may be permitted only provided that the number of paper sheets to be inputted through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 and the number of paper sheets to be input based on the count by the processing device 100 paper sheets coincide with each other. In these cases (although this is indirect when the number of paper sheets is taken into account), it is possible to avoid the risk of confirming such a deposit process when the amount of money of paper sheets (usually banknotes) that was actually received from the buyer and the amount of money deposited through the transaction 80, 280, 380, based on the request of the buyer, do not match.

[0104] The warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device, or the upper level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion offer when the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 , and the amount of money issued, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, does not match. Alternatively, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to communicate information for a conversion request when the number of issued paper sheets inputted through the operation unit 80, 280 , 380, and the number of paper sheets issued, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, do not match. In these cases (although this is indirect, when the number of paper sheets is taken into account), it is possible to inform the operator that the amount of money in paper sheets (usually banknotes) that should actually be transferred to the buyer and the amount of money given out requested by the buyer do not coincide . Thus, it is possible to avoid the risk of any trouble with the buyer that may happen. Specifically, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to communicate information for a conversion offer when the amount of issued money is based on a count of the paper sheet processing device 100 less than the amount of issued money entered through the operating unit 80, 280, 380 of the control device, or when the number of issued paper sheets based on the result those counts by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 are less than the number of issued paper sheets entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 of the control device. In these cases (although this is indirect, when the number of paper sheets is taken into account), it is possible to inform the operator that the amount of money in paper sheets (usually banknotes) that should actually be transferred to the buyer is less than the amount of issued money requested by the buyer. Thus, it can be prevented that paper sheets (usually banknotes) will be handed over to the buyer, the amount of money of which is less than the amount of issued money requested by the buyer.

[0105] Similarly, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the upper level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion offer when the amount of money deposited through the operation unit 80, 280 , 380, and the amount of money deposited, based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, does not match. Alternatively, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion request when the number of input paper sheets inputted through the operation unit 80, 280 , 380, and the number of input paper sheets based on the count of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 does not match. In these cases (although this is indirect, when the number of paper sheets is taken into account), it is possible to inform the operator that the amount of money of paper sheets (usually banknotes) that were actually received from the buyer and the amount of money requested by the buyer do not match . Thus, it is possible to avoid the risk of any trouble with the buyer that may happen. Specifically, the warning unit provided in the display unit 81 of the processing device, the display unit 281 of the control device or the top-level display unit 381 may be configured to report information for a conversion offer when the amount of money deposited based on the counting by the paper sheet processing device 100 less than the amount of deposited money entered through the operating unit 80, 280, 380 of the control device, or when the number of deposited paper sheets based on the result under couple processing unit 100 paper sheets is less than the number of insertion of paper sheets entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 control device. In these cases (although this is indirect, when the number of paper sheets is taken into account), it is possible to inform the operator that the amount of money in paper sheets (usually banknotes) that were actually received from the buyer is less than the amount of money requested by the buyer. Thus, it can be prevented that paper sheets (usually banknotes) are collected for processing, the amount of money of which is less than the amount of money requested by the buyer.

[0106] In the case where “the amount of money dispensed based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” is based on the result of the actual count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, the control unit 50, 250, 350 may be left with at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information evaluated as matching information from the recognition information regarding a plurality of paper sheets included in one transaction, and deleting other recognition information evaluated as k matching information when the amount of issued money based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is greater than the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380. in this case, it is possible to induce the control unit 50, 250, 350 evaluate whether there is matching paper sheet recognition information only when necessary for the issuing process.

[0107] In the case where “the amount of money deposited based on the count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” is based on the result of the actual count by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, the control unit 50, 250, 350 may be left with at least one (for example, one) of the recognition information, evaluated as matching information from the recognition information related to the set of paper sheets included in one transaction, and the removal of other recognition information evaluated to This is the same information when the amount of money deposited, based on the result of the actual calculation of the paper sheet processing device 100, is greater than the amount of money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380. In this case, it is possible to induce the control unit 50, 250, 350 evaluate whether there is matching paper sheet recognition information only when necessary for the application process.

[0108] As described above, the “amount of money dispensed based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, the recognition information of which was judged to be the same, from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351, and deletion of other counting data, the recognition information of which was rated as matching. In this case, since the amount of issued money is calculated after deleting the matching data, it is possible to increase the likelihood that “the amount of issued money based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” coincides with the amount of issued money entered through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 at one stage (task). This can increase operator operational efficiency. In the same way, “the amount of money deposited based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, the recognition information of which was evaluated as matching, from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251 , 351, and deletion of other counting data, the recognition information of which was rated as matching. In this case, since the amount of money deposited is calculated after deleting the matching data, it is possible to increase the likelihood that “the amount of money deposited based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” coincides with the amount of money deposited through the operation unit 80, 280, 380 at one stage (task). This can increase operator operational efficiency. Similarly, “the number of paper sheets based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” can be calculated after leaving only the counting data of the paper sheet, whose recognition information was evaluated as matching, from the recognition information stored in the storage unit 51, 251, 351 , and deleting other counting data whose recognition information was rated as matching. In this case, since the number of paper sheets is calculated after deleting the matching data, it is possible to increase the likelihood that “the number of paper sheets based on the counting by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100” coincides with the number of paper sheets to be issued or should be entered by operating unit 80, 280, 380 at this stage (task). This can increase operator operational efficiency.

[0109] When a transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 is not permitted, if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be evaluated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100, it can be prevented that the transaction is confirmed, although the paper sheet recognition information is such like serial numbers, was not received. As a result, the recognition information of paper sheets processed by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 can be more confidently stored in the control memory 51, 251, 351. In this document, transaction confirmation in the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 may not be permitted, even if only one or more characters of the serial number of the paper sheet cannot be read. In this case, the recognition information of paper sheets processed by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100 can be more confidently and more correctly stored in the memory unit 51, 251, 351 for management.

[0110] The warning unit may be configured to report information for a conversion request if a predetermined percentage or more of paper sheet recognition information cannot be estimated by the paper sheet processing apparatus 100. In this case, it is possible to inform the operator why the transaction cannot be confirmed. This can increase operator operational efficiency.

[0111] Finally, the description of the above relevant embodiments and the disclosure of the drawings are only exemplary for explaining the present invention defined in the attached claims. The scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited to the description of the above relevant embodiments and disclosure of the drawings.
