　外部から紙幣を１枚ずつ内部に取り込み、この内部に取り込まれた紙幣を収納する紙幣処理装置として様々な種類のものが知られている。このような紙幣処理装置には、筐体の内部に取り込まれた紙幣の識別計数を行う識別部が設けられている。そして、筐体の内部に取り込まれた紙幣に連鎖、斜行、重送等の搬送不良が発生したり、内部に取り込まれた紙幣が偽券、真偽不確定券、損券等であったりすることが、識別部による識別結果により判断されたときには、この紙幣はリジェクト紙幣として紙幣処理装置の外部に戻される（リジェクトされる）ようになっている。このような紙幣処理装置としては、例えば特開２００２－５６４３８号公報、特開平６－１２５４９号公報、特開平６－１５０１１４号公報等に開示されるものが知られている。 Various types of banknote processing apparatuses are known that take in banknotes one by one from the outside and store the banknotes taken into the inside. Such a banknote handling apparatus is provided with an identification unit for identifying and counting banknotes taken into the housing. And, banknotes taken into the inside of the case have a conveyance failure such as chaining, skewing, double feeding, etc., or the banknotes taken into the inside are a fake ticket, a genuine uncertain ticket, a damaged ticket, etc. When it is determined by the identification result by the identification unit, the banknote is returned (rejected) to the outside of the banknote processing apparatus as a reject banknote. As such a banknote processing apparatus, for example, those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-56438, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-12549, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-150114, and the like are known.
　特開２００２－５６４３８号公報には、紙幣等の処理を行う取引処理装置であって、この取引処理装置の内部に取り込まれた紙幣のうち識別部により識別することができなかった紙幣（識別不可紙幣）があった場合に、この紙幣のリジェクト要因（例えば、しわ多し、角折れ、部分的絵柄不良、等）と、各リジェクト要因のそれぞれの紙幣の枚数が表示部に表示されるような取引処理装置が開示されている。 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-56438 discloses a transaction processing apparatus that processes banknotes and the like, and among banknotes taken into the transaction processing apparatus, banknotes that could not be identified by an identification unit (unidentifiable) If there is a banknote), the rejection factor (for example, wrinkles, corner breaks, partial pattern failure, etc.) of this banknote and the number of each banknote of each rejection factor are displayed on the display unit. A transaction processing apparatus is disclosed.
　また、特開平６－１２５４９号公報には、リジェクトされた紙幣等の紙葉類について、再度入金させる際にリジェクト要因に応じたガイダンス（たとえば、「紙幣の折れ、クセを直してセットしてください」、等）がディスプレイ等の表示部に表示されるような紙葉類取引装置が開示されている。 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-12549 discloses guidance according to the rejection factor when re-paying paper sheets such as rejected banknotes (for example, “please set the banknotes to be broken or peculiar. , Etc.) is displayed on a display unit such as a display.
　また、特開平６－１５０１１４号公報には、紙幣を内部に取り込む際に紙幣の連鎖等の搬送異常が生じたときに、この搬送異常に係る情報が記憶されるような紙幣入出金装置が開示されている。 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-150114 discloses a banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus that stores information related to a conveyance abnormality when a conveyance abnormality such as a chain of banknotes occurs when a banknote is taken inside.

　次に、このような構成からなる紙幣処理装置１００の動作について説明する。 Next, the operation of the bill processing apparatus 100 having such a configuration will be described.
　まず、操作者により紙幣の束がホッパ１０１に収容され、このホッパ１０１に収容された束状態の紙幣は紙幣繰出機構１０により１枚ずつ紙幣処理装置１００の筐体１１０の内部に取り込まれる。そして、紙幣処理装置１００の筐体１１０の内部に取り込まれた紙幣は搬送部２０１により搬送され、識別部２２０に送られる。 First, a bundle of banknotes is stored in the hopper 101 by the operator, and the banknotes stored in the hopper 101 are taken into the housing 110 of the banknote processing apparatus 100 one by one by the banknote feeding mechanism 10. And the banknote taken in the inside of the housing | casing 110 of the banknote processing apparatus 100 is conveyed by the conveyance part 201, and is sent to the identification part 220. FIG.
　識別部２２０において、図３および図４に示すように、赤外光センサ２２、厚み検出センサ２４、磁気センサ２６、赤色光センサ２８によりそれぞれ紙幣の検出が行われる。この際に、赤外光センサ２２ａ、２２ｂにより紙幣の光透過特性に係る検出値ＩＲ１、ＩＲ２がそれぞれ算出される。また、磁気センサ２６ａ、２６ｂにより、紙幣の磁気データに係る検出値ＭＧ１、ＭＧ２がそれぞれ算出される。また、赤色光センサ２８により、紙幣の光反射特性に係る検出値ＦＬが算出される。 In the identification unit 220, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bills are detected by the infrared light sensor 22, the thickness detection sensor 24, the magnetic sensor 26, and the red light sensor 28, respectively. At this time, the detection values IR1 and IR2 relating to the light transmission characteristics of the bills are calculated by the infrared light sensors 22a and 22b, respectively. Moreover, detection values MG1 and MG2 relating to the magnetic data of the bill are calculated by the magnetic sensors 26a and 26b, respectively. Further, the red light sensor 28 calculates a detection value FL related to the light reflection characteristic of the banknote.
　識別部２２０において算出された検出値ＩＲ１、ＩＲ２、ＭＧ１、ＭＧ２、ＦＬはそれぞれ制御部１１５に送られ、制御部１１５において、これらの算出された検出値と、記憶部１２０において予め記憶された所定の閾値との比較が行われる。ここで、全ての検出値が、予め設定された所定の閾値以上である場合には、この紙幣は真正な紙幣であると制御部１１５において判断される。一方、少なくともいずれか１つの検出値が、所定の閾値よりも小さい場合には、この紙幣はリジェクト紙幣であると制御部１１５において判断される。 The detection values IR1, IR2, MG1, MG2, and FL calculated by the identification unit 220 are respectively sent to the control unit 115, and the control unit 115 calculates these calculated detection values and a predetermined value stored in the storage unit 120 in advance. Is compared with the threshold value. Here, when all the detected values are equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value set in advance, the control unit 115 determines that the banknote is a genuine banknote. On the other hand, when at least one of the detected values is smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the control unit 115 determines that the banknote is a reject banknote.
　識別部２２０で識別が行われた紙幣について、制御部１１５において真正な紙幣であると判断されたものは、４つのスタッカ部１０６のうちいずれか１つのスタッカ部１０６に送られ、このスタッカ部１０６で集積される。一方、識別部２２０で識別が行われた紙幣について、制御部１１５においてリジェクト紙幣であると判断されたものはリジェクト部１０２に送られる。 Of the banknotes identified by the identification unit 220, the banknotes determined by the control unit 115 to be authentic banknotes are sent to any one of the four stacker units 106, and the stacker unit 106. Accumulated in On the other hand, regarding the banknotes identified by the identification unit 220, those determined to be reject banknotes by the control unit 115 are sent to the reject unit 102.
　ホッパ１０１に収容された紙幣の束が全て紙幣処理装置１００の筐体１１０の中に取り込まれ、スタッカ部１０６かリジェクト部１０２に全ての紙幣が送られたときには、表示部１０５には図６に示すようにスタッカ部１０６に集積された紙幣の合計金額（＄２，４６３）およびスタッカ部１０６に集積された紙幣の合計枚数（４３５ＰＣＳ（Ｐｉｅｃｅｓ））が表示される。 When all the banknotes stored in the hopper 101 are taken into the housing 110 of the banknote processing apparatus 100 and all banknotes are sent to the stacker unit 106 or the reject unit 102, the display unit 105 is shown in FIG. As shown, the total amount ($ 2,463) of the banknotes accumulated in the stacker unit 106 and the total number of banknotes (435 PCS (Pieces)) accumulated in the stacker unit 106 are displayed.
　ここで、操作者が操作部１０３において特定のボタンを押すことにより、具体的には例えばシフトボタンとマニュアルボタンを同時に押すことにより、表示部１０５における表示は図７Ａに示すような画面に切り替わる。図７Ａに示す画面において、リジェクト部１０２に送られたリジェクト紙幣について、リジェクト要因毎の枚数が示されている。ここで、リジェクト要因としては、連鎖（ＣＨＡＩＮ）、斜行（ＳＫＥＷ）、重送（ＭＬＴ）、偽券（ＳＵＳＰ－１）、真偽不確定券（ＳＵＳＰ－２）等が挙げられる。すなわち、図７Ａには、リジェクト要因が紙幣の連鎖であるようなリジェクト紙幣が３枚、リジェクト要因が紙幣の斜行であるようなリジェクト紙幣が４枚、リジェクト要因が紙幣の重送であるようなリジェクト紙幣が１枚、リジェクト要因が偽券であるようなリジェクト紙幣が１枚、リジェクト要因が真偽不確定券であるようなリジェクト紙幣が３枚あることが示されている。 Here, when the operator presses a specific button on the operation unit 103, specifically, for example, when the shift button and the manual button are simultaneously pressed, the display on the display unit 105 is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. 7A. In the screen shown in FIG. 7A, the number of rejected banknotes sent to the reject unit 102 is shown for each reject factor. Here, examples of the rejection factor include chain (CHAIN), skew (SKEW), double feed (MLT), fake ticket (SUSP-1), authenticity uncertain ticket (SUSP-2), and the like. That is, in FIG. 7A, three reject banknotes whose reject factor is a chain of banknotes, four reject banknotes whose reject factor is skewed banknotes, and the reject factor is double feeding of banknotes It is shown that there is one reject banknote, one reject banknote whose reject factor is a fake note, and three reject banknotes whose reject factor is a genuine unconfirmed ticket.
　図７Ａに示すような表示において、操作者は操作部１０３により各リジェクト項目を選択することができるようになっている。具体的には、図７Ａに示すような画面において「ＳＵＳＰ－１」にカーソル（図７Ａにおける「ＳＵＳＰ－１」の文字の下にあるラインがカーソルを示している）を合わせ、リターンボタンを押すと、表示部１０５における表示は図７Ｂに示すような画面に切り替わる。図７Ｂに示す画面において、「ＳＵＳＰ－１　１」という表示は、「１枚目の偽券」ということを意味し、「ＩＲ１、ＩＲ２、ＦＬ、ＭＧ１、ＭＧ２」はそれぞれ光透過特性、光反射特性および磁気データに係る紙幣の検出値を示している。ここで、「Ｃｈｅｃｋｅｄ　Ｖａｌｕｅ」という項目は、実際に識別部２２０により算出された検出値を示し、「Ｓｅｔ　Ｖａｌｕｅ」という項目は、記憶部１２０に記憶された閾値を示している。図７Ｂに示す画面において、閾値としては、「Ａ」で示されるものと「Ｂ」で示されるものの２種類のものがあるが、Ａの閾値の方がＢの閾値よりもより厳しい（すなわち、より精度の高い）設定となっている。そして、図７Ｂに示すように、「ＩＲ１、ＩＲ２、ＦＬ、ＭＧ１、ＭＧ２」の各項目に係る実際の検出値について、「Ｂ」で示される閾値よりも小さいものについては、文字の色が反転したり枠で囲まれたりすることにより、操作者にとって目立つものとなるような画面上での装飾が施されるようになっている。なお、実際に比較の対象に用いられる閾値を「Ａ」に示されるものとするか、「Ｂ」に示されるものとするかは、紙幣処理装置１００の使用状況に応じて、操作者が操作部１０３により選択することができるようになっていてもよい。 In the display as shown in FIG. 7A, the operator can select each reject item by the operation unit 103. Specifically, on the screen as shown in FIG. 7A, place the cursor on “SUSP-1” (the line below the character “SUSP-1” in FIG. 7A indicates the cursor) and press the return button. Then, the display on the display unit 105 is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. 7B. In the screen shown in FIG. 7B, the indication “SUSP-1 1” means “the first counterfeit note”, and “IR1, IR2, FL, MG1, MG2” are light transmission characteristics and light reflection, respectively. The detection value of the banknote which concerns on a characteristic and magnetic data is shown. Here, the item “Checked Value” indicates a detection value actually calculated by the identification unit 220, and the item “Set Value” indicates a threshold value stored in the storage unit 120. In the screen shown in FIG. 7B, there are two types of thresholds, one indicated by “A” and one indicated by “B”, but the threshold of A is more severe than the threshold of B (that is, (Higher accuracy) setting. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, for the actual detection values relating to the respective items “IR1, IR2, FL, MG1, MG2”, the character color is inverted for those that are smaller than the threshold value indicated by “B”. By decorating the frame with a frame, a decoration on the screen that is conspicuous for the operator is applied. Whether the threshold value actually used for comparison is indicated by “A” or “B” is determined by the operator according to the usage status of the banknote processing apparatus 100. The selection may be made by the unit 103.
　操作者は、表示部１０５における図７Ｂに示すような画面を見ることにより、目視にて、リジェクト紙幣の具体的なリジェクト要因を確認することができるようになる。具体的には、操作者は、１枚目の偽券について、光反射特性（ＦＬ）および紙幣の搬送方向における左側の磁気センサ２６ｂによる磁気データ（ＭＧ２）に異常があることを知ることができる。図７Ｂに示すような画面から、操作者は操作部１０３によって、２枚目以降の偽券に関する紙幣の各種項目の検出値および閾値を表示するよう、画面を切り換えることができる。 The operator can visually confirm the specific rejection factor of the rejected banknote by viewing the screen as shown in FIG. 7B on the display unit 105. Specifically, the operator can know that there is an abnormality in the light reflection characteristics (FL) and the magnetic data (MG2) by the left magnetic sensor 26b in the banknote transport direction for the first counterfeit note. . From the screen as shown in FIG. 7B, the operator can switch the screen to display the detection values and threshold values of various items of banknotes related to the second and subsequent counterfeit bills by the operation unit 103.
　他のリジェクト要因のリジェクト紙幣について操作者が各種項目の検出値を確認したい場合は、図７Ｂに示すような画面において操作者が例えば操作部１０３の「戻るボタン」を押すことにより図７Ａに示すような画面に戻し、操作部１０３の下ボタンを押すことにより図８Ａに示すようにカーソルを「ＳＵＳＰ－２」に合わせる。そして、操作者がリターンボタンを押すと、表示部１０５における表示は図８Ｂに示すような画面に切り替わる。図８Ｂに示す画面において、「ＳＵＳＰ－２　１」という表示は、「１枚目の真偽不確定券」ということを意味する。操作者は、表示部１０５における図８Ｂに示すような画面を見ることにより、１枚目の真偽不確定券について、紙幣の搬送方向における右側の磁気センサ２６ａによる磁気データ（ＭＧ１）に異常があることを知ることができる。図８Ｂに示すような画面から、操作者は操作部１０３によって、２枚目以降の真偽不確定券に関する紙幣の各種項目の検出値および閾値を表示するよう、画面を切り換えることができる。 When the operator wants to check the detection values of various items for reject banknotes of other rejection factors, the operator presses a “return button” of the operation unit 103 on the screen as shown in FIG. Returning to such a screen, the cursor is moved to “SUSP-2” as shown in FIG. When the operator presses the return button, the display on the display unit 105 is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. 8B. In the screen shown in FIG. 8B, the display of “SUSP-2 1” means “first authenticity uncertain ticket”. The operator looks at the screen as shown in FIG. 8B on the display unit 105, so that there is an abnormality in the magnetic data (MG1) by the right magnetic sensor 26a in the bill conveyance direction for the first authenticity uncertain ticket. You can know that there is. From the screen as shown in FIG. 8B, the operator can switch the screen to display the detection values and threshold values of various items of banknotes related to the second and subsequent authenticity uncertain tickets using the operation unit 103.
　なお、図７Ａに示すような複数の各リジェクト要因のうち、表示部１０５に各々の紙幣の各種項目の検出値が表示されるのは、偽券（ＳＵＳＰ－１）または真偽不確定券（ＳＵＳＰ－２）を選択したときのみとなっているが、この他に、金種識別が正常に行われずに金種識別エラーとなった場合にも同様に紙幣の各種項目の検出値を表示することができるようにしてもよい。 Of the plurality of reject factors as shown in FIG. 7A, the detection values of various items of each banknote are displayed on the display unit 105 as a fake ticket (SUSP-1) or a true / false uncertain ticket ( This is only when SUSP-2) is selected, but in addition to this, the detected values of various items of banknotes are also displayed when the denomination is not performed normally and a denomination identification error occurs. You may be able to do that.
　本実施の形態による紙幣処理装置１００の動作は、上記の態様に限定されるものではなく、様々の変更を加えることができる。 <Operation | movement of the banknote processing apparatus 100 by this Embodiment is not limited to said aspect, A various change can be added.
　紙幣処理装置１００における別の態様の動作について説明する。 The operation of another aspect in the banknote handling apparatus 100 will be described.
　紙幣処理装置１００が通常の処理モードであるときにおいて、操作者が操作部１０３により制御部１１５に対して指令を与えることにより、紙幣処理装置１００を「リジェクト要因確認モード」とする。紙幣処理装置１００をリジェクト要因確認モードとした場合には、この紙幣処理装置１００において通常の紙幣処理動作を行うことができなくなる。具体的には、紙幣処理装置１００において通常の処理モードの待機状態では、表示部１０５に図９Ａに示すような「合計金額　０、処理枚数　０」が表示されているが、操作者が操作部１０３において特定のボタンを押すことにより、具体的には例えばシフトボタンとマニュアルボタンを同時に押すことにより、表示部１０５における表示は図９Ｂに示すような画面に切り替わる。図９Ｂに示すような画面が表示部１０５に表示されたときに、紙幣処理装置１００はリジェクト要因確認モードとなっている。 When the banknote processing apparatus 100 is in the normal processing mode, the banknote processing apparatus 100 is set to the “reject factor confirmation mode” by giving an instruction to the control unit 115 by the operation unit 103 by the operator. When the banknote handling apparatus 100 is set to the reject factor confirmation mode, the banknote handling apparatus 100 cannot perform a normal banknote handling operation. Specifically, in the standby state of the normal processing mode in the banknote processing apparatus 100, “total amount 0, number of processed sheets 0” as shown in FIG. 9A is displayed on the display unit 105. By pressing a specific button in 103, specifically, for example, by simultaneously pressing a shift button and a manual button, the display on the display unit 105 is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. 9B. When the screen as shown in FIG. 9B is displayed on the display unit 105, the banknote handling apparatus 100 is in the reject factor confirmation mode.
　紙幣処理装置１００がリジェクト要因確認モードであるときにおいて、ホッパ１０１に対して識別対象となる紙幣を１枚収容させると、このホッパ１０１に収容された紙幣は紙幣処理装置１００の筐体１１０の内部に取り込まれる。筐体１１０の内部に取り込まれた紙幣は搬送部２０１により搬送され、識別部２２０に送られる。 When the banknote handling apparatus 100 is in the reject factor confirmation mode, when one banknote to be identified is stored in the hopper 101, the banknote stored in the hopper 101 is inside the casing 110 of the banknote processing apparatus 100. Is taken in. The banknotes taken into the housing 110 are transported by the transport unit 201 and sent to the identification unit 220.
　識別部２２０において、図３および図４に示すように、赤外光センサ２２、厚み検出センサ２４、磁気センサ２６、赤色光センサ２８によりそれぞれ紙幣の検出が行われ、複数の種類の検出値ＩＲ１、ＩＲ２、ＭＧ１、ＭＧ２、ＦＬがそれぞれ算出される。識別部２２０で識別された紙幣は、搬送部２０１によりリジェクト部１０２に送られる。 In the identification unit 220, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, each of the bills is detected by the infrared light sensor 22, the thickness detection sensor 24, the magnetic sensor 26, and the red light sensor 28, and a plurality of types of detection values IR1 are detected. , IR2, MG1, MG2, and FL are respectively calculated. The banknote identified by the identifying unit 220 is sent to the reject unit 102 by the transport unit 201.
　識別部２２０により紙幣の識別が行われたときに、表示部１０５における表示は図１０に示すような画面に切り替わる。図１０に示すように、表示部１０５には、識別部２２０により算出された紙幣の各種の検出値が表示されるとともに、記憶部１２０に記憶された各種項目の閾値も表示される。図１０に示すように、「ＩＲ１、ＩＲ２、ＦＬ、ＭＧ１、ＭＧ２」の各項目に係る実際の検出値について、「Ｂ」で示される閾値よりも小さいものについては、文字の色が反転したり枠で囲まれたりすることにより、操作者にとって目立つものとなるような画面上での変化が施されるようになっている。さらに、図１０に示すように、表示部１０５には、識別対象となる紙幣が偽券であることを示す「ＳＵＳＰ－１」という表示がなされる。 When the bill is identified by the identifying unit 220, the display on the display unit 105 is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, various detection values of banknotes calculated by the identification unit 220 are displayed on the display unit 105, and threshold values of various items stored in the storage unit 120 are also displayed. As shown in FIG. 10, for actual detection values relating to the respective items “IR1, IR2, FL, MG1, MG2”, the character color is reversed for values that are smaller than the threshold value indicated by “B”. By being surrounded by a frame, a change on the screen that is conspicuous for the operator is performed. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the display unit 105 displays “SUSP-1” indicating that the banknote to be identified is a fake ticket.
　このようにして、操作者は、表示部１０５における図１０に示すような画面を見ることにより、目視にて、識別対象となる紙幣のリジェクト要因を確認することができるようになる。具体的には、識別対象となる紙幣を紙幣処理装置１００に投入したときに、図１０に示すような表示がなされたときには、操作者は、この識別対象となる紙幣について、リジェクト要因が偽券であることを確認することができるとともに、光反射特性（ＦＬ）および紙幣の搬送方向における左側の磁気センサ２６ｂによる磁気データ（ＭＧ２）に異常があることを知ることができる。 In this way, the operator can visually confirm the rejection factor of the banknote to be identified by viewing the screen as shown in FIG. 10 on the display unit 105. Specifically, when a banknote to be identified is inserted into the banknote processing apparatus 100 and the display as shown in FIG. 10 is made, the operator rejects the counterfeit ticket for the banknote to be identified. It can be confirmed that there is an abnormality in the light reflection characteristic (FL) and the magnetic data (MG2) by the left magnetic sensor 26b in the bill conveyance direction.
　なお、操作者は、操作部１０３により、記憶部１２０に記憶される各種項目の閾値を変更することも可能である。具体的には、図７Ｂ、図８Ｂまたは図１０に示すような、識別部２２０による検出値および閾値が表示される画面において、操作部１０３により、画面に表示されている閾値（具体的には、「Ａ」で示される閾値と「Ｂ」で示される閾値の両方）を変更することができる。操作部１０３により表示部１０５に表示されている閾値を変更すると、記憶部１２０に記憶されている閾値も変更される。 Note that the operator can change the threshold values of various items stored in the storage unit 120 using the operation unit 103. Specifically, on the screen on which the detection value and the threshold value by the identification unit 220 are displayed as shown in FIG. 7B, FIG. 8B or FIG. 10, the threshold value (specifically, the screen displayed by the operation unit 103 is displayed. , Both the threshold indicated by “A” and the threshold indicated by “B”) can be changed. When the threshold value displayed on the display unit 105 is changed by the operation unit 103, the threshold value stored in the storage unit 120 is also changed.
　以上のように、本実施の形態の紙幣処理装置１００によれば、筐体１１０内に取り込まれた紙幣の識別計数を行う識別部２２０により、識別対象となる紙幣について検出を行い紙幣の複数の種類の検出値、具体的には紙幣の光透過特性、光反射特性および磁気データ等に係る検出値を算出し、紙幣における複数の種類の検出値と、記憶部１２０に記憶された閾値とを比較することにより紙幣の識別を行うようになっている。そして、識別部２２０による紙幣の識別結果によって、正常な紙幣でないと判断された紙幣をリジェクト部１０２へ搬送するようになっている。さらに、リジェクト部１０２に搬送された紙幣について、表示部１０５において、図７Ａに示すように識別部２２０による紙幣の識別結果に基づくリジェクト要因（例えば、連鎖、偽券、真偽不確定券等）が表示されるとともに、図７Ｂに示すように紙幣の複数の種類の検出値（例えば、紙幣の光透過特性、光反射特性および磁気データに係る検出値等）が表示されるようになっている。このことにより、操作者は、リジェクト紙幣のリジェクト要因を各種項目の検出値によってより詳細に分析することができるようになり、例えば紙幣処理装置に紙幣のリジェクトが頻繁に発生した場合であっても専門的知識を有するメンテナンス員が紙幣処理装置の設置現場に行く必要がなくなる。 As described above, according to the banknote processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the identification unit 220 that performs identification counting of the banknotes taken into the housing 110 detects the banknotes to be identified and performs a plurality of banknotes. The detection value of the type, specifically, the detection value related to the light transmission characteristic, the light reflection characteristic, and the magnetic data of the banknote is calculated, and the plurality of types of detection values in the banknote and the threshold value stored in the storage unit 120 are calculated. The banknotes are identified by comparison. And the banknote judged not to be a normal banknote by the identification result of the banknote by the identification part 220 is conveyed to the rejection part 102. FIG. Furthermore, about the banknote conveyed by the rejection part 102, in the display part 105, as shown to FIG. 7A, the rejection factor based on the identification result of the banknote by the identification part 220 (for example, a chain | linkage, a fake note, a true / false uncertain ticket, etc.) Is displayed, as shown in FIG. 7B, a plurality of types of detection values (for example, light transmission characteristics, light reflection characteristics, and detection values related to magnetic data of banknotes) of the banknotes are displayed. . Thus, the operator can analyze the reject factor of reject banknotes in more detail based on the detection values of various items. For example, even when banknote rejection frequently occurs in the banknote processing apparatus. Maintenance personnel having specialized knowledge do not need to go to the installation site of the banknote handling apparatus.
　また、図７Ａおよび図７Ｂに示すように表示部１０５は、リジェクト部１０２に搬送された紙幣のリジェクト要因毎の枚数（図７Ａ参照）、および各リジェクト要因毎の各々の紙幣の検出値（図７Ｂ参照）を表示することができるようになっている。このため、操作者は、リジェクト紙幣についてリジェクト要因毎に各種項目の検出値を確認することができるようになる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the display unit 105 displays the number of banknotes conveyed to the reject unit 102 for each reject factor (see FIG. 7A) and the detected value of each banknote for each reject factor (see FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B). 7B) can be displayed. For this reason, the operator can confirm the detection values of various items for each reject factor with respect to the reject banknote.
　また、図７Ｂに示すように、表示部１０５は、リジェクト部１０２に搬送された紙幣について、識別部２２０による紙幣の識別結果に基づくリジェクト要因、および紙幣における複数の種類の検出値の他に、紙幣の各検出値に対応する予め設定された閾値（記憶部１２０に記憶された閾値）も表示することができるようになっている。このため、使用者はリジェクト紙幣の検出値が閾値からどの程度離れているかを確認することができるようになり、リジェクト紙幣がどの程度異常であるかを確認することができる。 Moreover, as shown to FIG. 7B, the display part 105 is the rejection factor based on the identification result of the banknote by the identification part 220 about the banknote conveyed by the rejection part 102, and the several types of detected value in a banknote, A preset threshold value (threshold value stored in the storage unit 120) corresponding to each detected value of the banknote can also be displayed. For this reason, the user can check how far the detected value of the reject banknote is away from the threshold, and can check how abnormal the reject banknote is.
　なお、本発明による紙幣処理装置は、上記の態様に限定されるものではなく、様々の変更を加えることができる。 In addition, the banknote processing apparatus by this invention is not limited to said aspect, A various change can be added.
　例えば、紙幣の検出値としては、紙幣の光透過特性、光反射特性、磁気データ以外にも、紙幣の厚みやサイズを用いることもできる。具体的には、例えば、厚み検出センサ２４により検出された紙幣の厚みを、紙幣の検出値とすることができる。また、紙幣における上記以外の更に他の性質を識別部により検出し、検出値とするようにしてもよい。 For example, as the detected value of the banknote, the thickness and size of the banknote can be used in addition to the light transmission characteristic, light reflection characteristic, and magnetic data of the banknote. Specifically, for example, the thickness of the banknote detected by the thickness detection sensor 24 can be used as the detected value of the banknote. Further, other properties of the banknote other than the above may be detected by the identification unit and used as a detection value.
　また、識別部による紙幣の識別結果に基づいて示されるリジェクト要因としては、紙幣の連鎖、斜行、重送、偽券、真偽不確定券以外にも、損券をリジェクト要因として挙げてもよい。リジェクト部に搬送された紙幣が損券である場合においても、紙幣の複数の種類の検出値が表示部において図７Ｂに示すような画面と同様の他面にて表示されるようになっている。 Moreover, as a rejection factor shown based on the identification result of the banknote by the identification unit, a banknote may be cited as a rejection factor in addition to banknote chaining, skew feeding, multi-feed, fake ticket, authenticity uncertain ticket. Good. Even when the banknote transported to the reject unit is a non-performing banknote, a plurality of types of detected values of the banknote are displayed on the other side similar to the screen as shown in FIG. 7B on the display unit. .
　また、識別部は、識別対象となる紙幣について複数の種類の検出値を行うことに限定されることはなく、例えば光透過特性の検出値のみ等、１種類のみの検出値を検出するようになっていてもよい。 Further, the identification unit is not limited to performing a plurality of types of detection values for the banknotes to be identified, but only one type of detection values, such as only a detection value of light transmission characteristics, is detected. It may be.
　また、上述のような、リジェクト部に搬送された紙幣のリジェクト要因毎の枚数をまず表示部に表示し、複数のリジェクト要因のうち偽券、真偽不確定券または損券が選択されたときに、各々のリジェクト紙幣の各種項目の検出値を順に表示するような態様に限定されることはない。他の態様として、表示部は、リジェクト部に搬送された紙幣のリジェクト要因毎の枚数、およびリジェクト要因が偽券、真偽不確定券または損券である各々のリジェクト紙幣の各種項目の検出値を同時に表示するようになっていてもよい。 In addition, when the number of reject factors of the banknotes conveyed to the reject unit as described above is first displayed on the display unit, a fake ticket, a genuine uncertain ticket or a damaged ticket is selected from a plurality of reject factors Moreover, it is not limited to the aspect which displays the detected value of the various items of each reject banknote in order. As another aspect, the display unit is configured to detect the number of items of each rejected banknote whose rejection factor is a fake ticket, a genuine uncertain ticket, or a non-conforming ticket, for each reject factor of the banknotes conveyed to the reject unit. May be displayed simultaneously.
