The processing is transmitted to the POS cash register device PR (step S106). However, if there is no request for the deposit amount (No in step S105), the deposit deposit control unit 51 directly proceeds to step S107 as it is.

Thereafter, the deposit/withdrawal control unit 51 determines whether or not there is a deposit completion command by the POS cash register device PR (step S107), and if there is no deposit completion command (step S107, No), the sequence proceeds to step S103 to repeat the above. The processing of steps S103 to S107.

On the other hand, if the POS cash register device PR has a deposit completion command (step S107, Yes), the deposit/payment control unit 51 sets the automatic money changer to the deposit prohibition state (step S108), and then monitors whether or not The POS cash register device PR has a dispensing instruction (step S109).

When the POS register device PR is supplied with the dispensing instruction (step S109, Yes), the deposit/withdrawal control unit 51 performs the money to be stored in the coin storage 15 or the banknote storage 25 as the money. The payment processing of the payment by the money port 12 or the banknote dispensing port 22 (step S110), and the processing of the money-finding mode of this time is ended. Among them, if by POS The cash register apparatus PR is not supplied with the dispensing instruction (step S109, No), and the deposit/payment control unit 51 directly ends the current money-finding mode processing as it is.

The above-described situation is, for example, in the POS cash register device PR, when the registration of the purchased product for the operator (the cashier) is completed, and the operator who stores the currency of the total amount or more is placed in the automatic money machine by the product purchaser. In the scene, after the registration of the purchased product is completed, the control unit 50 of the automatic money machine is supplied with the deposit permission command by the POS cash register device PR. On the other hand, if the deposit amount information is sent to the POS cash register device PR by the automatic money machine that has been put into the currency, the POS cash register device PR is calculated (find money) = (input amount) - (purchased total amount), if If there is money, the withdrawal instruction corresponding to the money is output to the automatic money machine after the payment end instruction. In the automatic money change machine to which the payment instruction is issued, the money equivalent to the money to be found is paid by the coin dispensing port 12 or the banknote dispensing port 22, and together with the receipt outputted by the POS cash register device PR, the money is handed over. For merchandisers.

Then, the above-mentioned money-finding mode processing is repeatedly executed, and the money processing device functions as an automatic money-finding machine. In the automatic money-finding machine, the money depositing control unit 51 performs the processing of the deposit processing and the dispensing processing, which are carried out in the storage unit 60 as the deposit payment information 61.

Figure 9 is a view showing the banknotes in the deposit processing of step S104. Detailed flow chart of the processing sequence of deposits. As shown in FIG. 9, at the time of depositing the banknote, the recognition switching unit 54 performs both shape recognition and type identification (step S201). Next, the shape recognition result determines whether or not the banknote is one sheet (step S202). If there is one banknote (Yes in step S202), it is determined whether or not the type identification result is a banknote of a predetermined type that can be recognized in advance (step S203). In the case of a banknote of a predetermined type that can be recognized in advance (step S203, Yes), the banknote is stored in a predetermined storage in which the setting type is stored (step S204). After that, the storage state of the banknotes in the storage, that is, the storage type number information 62 is stored (step S205), and the process proceeds to step S207.

On the other hand, if one banknote is not (step S202, No) and the banknote of the setting type that is not previously identifiable (step S203, No), the banknote is returned by the banknote dispensing port 22 (step S206), and Go to step S207.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not there is a next banknote (step S207), and if there is a subsequent banknote (Yes in step S207), the process proceeds to step S201, and the above process is repeated. On the other hand, if there is no next banknote (step S207, No), it returns to step S104.

[payment processing: banknotes]

FIG. 10 is a detailed flowchart showing the processing procedure of the dispensing of the banknotes in the dispensing process of step S110. As shown in FIG. 10, first, referring to the type of banknotes set in advance in the storage, or storing the type of stock information 62, it is determined whether or not the type of the banknote to be instructed is only It is stored in one storage (step S301).

When the type of the banknote to be dispensed is stored in only one storage (Yes in step S301), the recognition switching unit 54 performs shape recognition only on the banknote recognition sensor 24 (step S302). Thereafter, the shape recognition result determines whether or not the banknote is one sheet (step S303). If there is one banknote (step S303, Yes), the process of directly paying the banknote by the banknote dispensing port 22 as it is (step S304), and the process proceeds to step S308. In addition, if it is not one banknote (step S303, No), the banknote is retracted to the evacuation bank 25a (step S305), and it progresses to step S308.

On the other hand, if the type of the banknote to be dispensed is not included in only one storage (step S301, No), the recognition switching unit 54 performs shape recognition and type identification on the banknote recognition sensor 24. Both sides (step S306). Thereafter, it is determined whether the shape recognition result and the type identification result are one banknote and the type of the banknote to be instructed (step S307). When there is one banknote and the banknote of the type indicated (step S307, Yes), the process of directly paying the banknote by the banknote dispensing port 22 as it is (step S304), and the process proceeds to step S308. In addition, if it is not one banknote, and it is not the banknote of the type indicated (step S307, No), the banknote is retracted to the backing bank 25a (step S305), and it progresses to step S308.

After that, the storage state of the storage of the banknotes, that is, the storage type category number information 62 is updated (step S308). Further, it is determined whether or not there is a next banknote (step S309), and if there is a subsequent banknote (Yes in step S309), the process proceeds to step S301, and the above process is repeated. On the other hand, if there is no next banknote (No in step S309), it returns to step S110.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the 1000-yuan Japanese banknote bank storage 25b is a storage containing only a new 1,000-yuan Japanese banknote, and there is an instruction to issue a 1,000-yuan Japanese banknote, the identification switching unit 54 is a banknote. The recognition sensor 24 switches only in the form of shape recognition. Next, when the banknote recognition sensor 24 recognizes the shape of one banknote, it is not necessary to perform complicated and time-consuming type identification, that is, the banknote is directly paid by the banknote dispensing port 22 as it is. Further, when the banknote recognition sensor 24 cannot recognize the shape of one banknote, the banknote is retracted to the evacuation bank 25a.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, if the mixed banknote storage 25c is a mixed storage of the old 1000 yuan Japanese currency banknotes, the new 5000 yuan Japanese currency banknotes, the old 5000 yuan Japanese currency banknotes, the new 10,000 yuan Japanese currency banknotes, and the old 10,000 yuan. When the receipt of the Japanese currency banknote is instructed, and the delivery instruction of the new 5,000-yuan Japanese banknote is used, the recognition switching unit 54 switches the shape recognition and type identification of the banknote recognition sensor 24. Next, when the banknote recognition sensor 24 is one banknote and the type is a new 5,000 dollar Japanese banknote, the banknote is paid by the banknote dispensing port 22. Further, when the banknote recognition sensor 24 determines that it is not one banknote, or determines that it is another type of banknote, the banknote is retracted to the evacuation bank 25a.

In the first embodiment, the banknote recognition sensor 24 can switch between the shape recognition function, the shape recognition function, and the type identification function, and the dispensing processing unit 53 can only specify the type of the banknote to be dispensed. When stored in one storage, the banknotes are transmitted through the recognition switching unit 54 The recognition sensor 24 switches only to the shape recognition function, and the banknote is dispensed only in the case where the banknote is a recognition result of one sheet. Therefore, the bill identification time is shortened, and the billing efficiency (number of sheets/time) of the bill can be improved.

In the first embodiment, the banknotes are described as an example of paper sheets, but they may be applied to a case of a cash coupon such as a merchandise coupon or a case where a banknote or a merchandise coupon is mixed.

(Embodiment 2)

In the first embodiment, the type of the banknote to be instructed to be instructed is only stored in one storage. However, in the second embodiment, it is also applicable to the instruction to be paid. The money value of the banknote is the case where the same banknote is stored in only one storage. For example, if a new 1000-yuan Japanese banknote and an old 1000-dollar banknote are mixed and stored in the 1000-yuan Japanese banknote storage 25b shown in FIG. 3, and the money value of the banknote to be paid is 1,000 yen. At this time, the banknote recognition sensor 24 is switched to the shape recognition function only by the recognition switching unit 54, and the banknote is dispensed only when the banknote is one recognition result.

At this time, the storage item type number information 62 is replaced with the number of sheets of the value of the banknotes to be stored, that is, the number of sheets of the storage value. The storage value of the storage unit 60 is stored in the information of the number of sheets of the banknotes stored in each of the back bank 25a, the 1000-yuan Japanese banknote storage 25b, and the mixed banknote storage 25c. Update and keep. For example, as shown in Figure 11, in the repository The number of pieces of information is based on each of the back-off library 25a (attribute "1"), the 1,000-yuan Japanese banknote bank storage 25b (attribute "2"), and the mixed banknote storage 25c (attribute "3"). Banknotes, that is, new 1000 yuan Japanese currency banknotes with an original value of 1,000 yen and old 1000 yuan Japanese currency banknotes (attribute "A"), new 5000 banknotes with a value of 5,000 yen, and old 5,000 Japanese yen banknotes ( Attribute "B"), a new 10,000-yuan Japanese banknote with a value of 10,000 yen, and an old 10,000-yuan Japanese banknote (attribute "C"), which are used as banknotes of the same value, and keep the number of sheets M11~M13, M21 ~M23, M31~M33. Then, in the storage number of sheets M11 to M13, M21 to M23, and M31 to M33, the attributes ("1" to "3") of the storage and the attributes ("A" to "C") of the value of the banknote are respectively associated with each other. Keep it.

In the second embodiment, when the banknotes having the same value of the banknotes to be instructed are stored in only one storage, the banknote recognition sensor 24 is switched to the shape only by the identification switching unit 54. The recognition function allows the banknote to be dispensed only when the banknote is a recognition result of one sheet.

As a result, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the bill identification time is shortened, the billing efficiency (number of sheets/time) of the bill can be increased, and only the shape recognition is performed, and the number of sheets to be dispensed is increased, and conversely, Since the number of banknotes accommodated in the mixed banknote storage 25c is reduced, the efficiency of the dispensing (the number of sheets to be dispensed/the total number of sheets) can be improved.

(Embodiment 3)

However, when the banknote storage unit 20 is opened by the opening/closing sensor 2a of the banknote storage unit 20 or the pull-out detecting sensor 2b, the banknote storage state in each banknote storage 25 changes, for example, There is a possibility that an error occurs in the above-mentioned storage type category number information 62 or the storage value number of sheets.

Therefore, in the third embodiment, the memory unit 60 shown in FIG. 6 holds the opening history of the banknote storage unit 20 as the history information 63. Next, the dispensing processing unit 53 permits the dispensing of the banknotes only by the shape recognition on the condition that the history information 63 is not opened.

[payment processing: banknotes]

Fig. 12 is a detailed flow chart showing the procedure of dispensing the banknotes in the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, in the dispensing process of the third embodiment, it is determined whether or not the step S301a is opened after the steps S301 and Yes of the dispensing process shown in FIG. 10, and if the history is not open. (Step S301a, No), only shape recognition is performed (step S302), and when the history is opened (step S301a, Yes), shape recognition and type identification are performed (step S306). The other processing procedure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

In the third embodiment, in the first and second embodiments, the condition that the open history is not opened is added, and the occurrence of the dispensing processing error is suppressed. Thereby, the burden imposed on the operator is alleviated.

Among them, in the second and third embodiments, paper sheets are also applicable. Further, in the third embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, the same value can be performed. The handling of each type of banknote.
