Description

Banknote recognition device, banknote recognition system, and application program

The present invention relates to a technique for specifying a counter of a counterfeit bill by using a bill number (serial number) as a clue when the counterfeit bill is used in a bill recognition device.

In a bill recognition device such as an automatic transaction device (ATM), a counterfeit bill may be deposited by a malicious user. The deposit of the counterfeit bill may be performed not only in the deposit process of the automatic transaction apparatus but also in the withdrawal process.

This is because the automatic transaction apparatus is provided with a function of determining that a user (customer) has forgotten to take it out and taking it into the apparatus (forgetting to take in function) when the banknotes withdrawn are left for a certain period of time. However, by exploiting this function, the dispensed banknotes are replaced with counterfeit banknotes.

It is necessary to detect counterfeit bills at an early stage and prevent the use of the above-described automatic transaction apparatus by malicious users.
As a related technique, in Patent Document 1, by accessing each database via a network to a database in which banknote numbers or the like known as counterfeit banknotes are registered, a plurality of counterfeit banknotes having the same banknote number appear, A system is shown that enables detection of counterfeit bills when the device uses the counterfeit bills.

Patent Document 2 discloses a stolen banknote notification system that enables timely reporting of banknotes stolen by destruction of an ATM terminal or the like to a department in charge (such as the police).
In Patent Document 3, in addition to a regular transaction code number, the user card has a different abnormal transaction code number, and a malicious user uses the abnormal transaction code number. When a transaction is made with an automatic transaction device (ATM), this is a transaction in which identification information for an abnormality is entered, and for that transaction, an automatic transaction device that can request a correction of the transaction amount is indicated. Has been.

However, in any of the techniques of any literature, it is not possible to identify a person who handles counterfeit bills at an early stage and secure it on site. Moreover, when clever counterfeit bills are distributed, it is difficult to respond immediately because of the time taken to develop / evaluate the bill recognition logic. Further, in the case of forgetting to take in, when the banknotes withdrawn are replaced with counterfeit banknotes, there is no clear evidence, and it is difficult to specify the handler of counterfeit banknotes.

An object of this invention is to provide the banknote recognition apparatus, banknote recognition system, and application program which enabled it to identify the handler of a forged banknote.
The proposed first banknote recognition apparatus performs banknote number recognition processing and banknote recognition processing based on information other than banknote numbers, and banknote number information and denomination information on counterfeit banknotes for traded banknotes. Banknotes traded when the banknote number information of the unregistered counterfeit banknotes is found as a recognition result by the banknote recognition unit. Banknote number information, denomination information, and transaction identification information are added to the external storage device, and when the banknote traded by the banknote recognition unit is recognized as a counterfeit banknote, A reporting unit that reports to a reporting destination that the counterfeit banknote has been found together with banknote number information, denomination information, and transaction identification information of the counterfeit banknote.

The proposed second banknote recognition device is a transaction for identifying a transaction in the first banknote recognition device in the case of a forgetting taking-in of taking out the banknote again into the device without completing the receipt of the banknote. Banknotes withdrawn identification information and transaction-specific information including denomination information for all banknotes to be traded, banknote number information, and recognition processing result information including recognition result information based on information other than banknote numbers, and Whether or not the per-transaction information generation unit generated for the captured banknote, the per-transaction information generated for the withdrawn banknote, and the per-transaction information generated for the captured banknote match. The replacement determination unit for determining, and the fact that the forgetting taking-in has been performed, to the reporting destination together with the information for each transaction generated for the banknotes withdrawn, and the information for each transaction generated for the banknotes taken in Report And capture the reporting unit to forget to take, one in which further comprises a.

According to the proposed first banknote recognition device, when a counterfeit banknote is found during the transaction of the banknote recognition apparatus, the reporting unit has found a counterfeit banknote, banknote number information of the counterfeit banknote, denomination information, The transaction identification information is reported to the reporting party. For this reason, in the report destination, the user of the counterfeit bill can be identified early with reference to the user information included in the transaction identification information.

According to the proposed second banknote recognition apparatus, in the case of forgetting to take in, the replacement determination unit determines whether or not the information for each transaction for the dispensed banknotes matches the information for each transaction for the banknotes taken in. Regardless of the determination result, the forgetting-to-take-in reporting unit reports to the reporting destination that the forgetting-to-take-in has been performed, information for each transaction with respect to the dispensed banknote, and information for each transaction with respect to the banknote that has been fetched. For this reason, in the report destination, the user information included in the transaction identification information of the information for each transaction can be referred to and specified even in the case of forgetting to take in a counterfeit bill handler.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a banknote recognition system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This bill recognition system is installed in a bank branch or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, this banknote recognition system is configured by connecting a banknote recognition apparatus 1, a database 2, and a host 3 via a network.
The database 2 is a database accessible from the banknote recognition apparatus 1 or the host 3. Although not shown in the figure, a plurality of banknote recognition devices are connected to this network, and the database 2 can be accessed from each banknote recognition device.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the banknote recognition apparatus of FIG. 1 and a flow of processing during deposit.
As shown in FIG. 2, the banknote recognition apparatus 1 includes a card insertion slot 5, a passbook insertion slot 6, a deposit slot 7, a withdrawal slot 8, a banknote recognition unit 9, banknote storage cassettes 10-1, 10-2,. 10-n, banknote storage boxes (hereinafter referred to as banknote storage boxes) 11-1, 11-2,..., 11-n, and recording device 12.

Although not shown in the figure, there is an execution base for controlling each of the above parts. In the present embodiment, this execution base is realized by software. Hereinafter, this execution platform is referred to as an application program.

In the deposit transaction, first, a card is inserted from the card insertion slot 5, or a passbook is inserted from the passbook insertion slot 6, or a card and a passbook are inserted into the card insertion slot 5 and the passbook insertion slot. 6 is inserted, or a deposit transaction button is input by an operation unit (not shown).

Then, when the deposit port 7 is opened, the mode is shifted to a deposit mode that prompts the user to deposit.
The user deposits a predetermined amount (banknote) into the deposit port 7. The banknotes deposited in the deposit port 7 are conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 9 one by one by the transport mechanism (not shown) by the arrow (1). In the banknote recognition unit 9, the banknote recognition process is described for each banknote. Number recognition processing is executed.

In the banknote recognition process, information other than the serial number (pattern comparison, paper quality information, etc.) is used to determine whether the banknote is a counterfeit banknote, and the denomination information (thousand, 10,000, etc.) of the banknote. Is identified. In the serial number recognition process, for example, a serial number printed at a predetermined position of the bill is read by a built-in OCR (Optical Character Reader) (not shown), and the serial number is recognized from the read image. And the denomination information and the recognition result of a serial number are output to the below-mentioned transaction database.

Using these recognition results, a determination process is performed to determine whether the bill is a counterfeit bill in this embodiment (details will be described later).
In the banknote recognition process, if it is determined that the counterfeit banknote is not a counterfeit banknote in the determination process of the counterfeit banknote using the serial number in the present embodiment, the banknote is handled by a transport mechanism (not shown) with an arrow (2). It is transported to a denomination banknote storage cassette (in the figure, either banknote storage cassette 10-1 or 10-2) and stored in the corresponding denomination banknote storage cassette.

On the other hand, when at least one of the banknote recognition process and the determination process of the counterfeit banknote using the serial number in the present embodiment is determined to be a counterfeit banknote, the banknote is conveyed by the transport mechanism ( (Not shown) is transported to a banknote storage box dedicated to counterfeit banknotes (in the figure, banknote storage box 11-n) and stored in the banknote storage box dedicated to counterfeit banknotes.

The recording device 12 is a device for recording a journal or the like (transaction information or the like).
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the banknote recognition apparatus of FIG. 1 and a flow of processing at the time of withdrawal.
In FIG. 3, in the withdrawal transaction, first, a card is inserted from the card insertion slot 5, or a card and a passbook are respectively inserted from the card insertion slot 5 and the passbook insertion slot 6, or Then, a withdrawal processing button is input by an operation unit (not shown).

And specify the amount of money to be withdrawn by the user through the screen and touch panel (not shown). The application program that has received this withdrawal amount controls the corresponding banknote storage cassette (the banknote storage cassette 10-n in the figure) and the transport mechanism (not shown), and the corresponding one is indicated by the arrow (1). A necessary number of banknotes are conveyed one by one from the banknote storage cassette to the banknote recognition unit 9 by a transport mechanism (not shown).

In the banknote recognition unit 9, as described above, the banknote recognition process and the serial number recognition process are executed for each banknote.
In the banknote recognition process, when it is determined that the counterfeit banknote is not a counterfeit banknote in the determination process of the counterfeit banknote using the serial number in the present embodiment, the banknote is withdrawn by the transport mechanism (not shown) at the arrow (2). It is conveyed to the mouth 8.

On the other hand, when at least one of the banknote recognition process and the determination process of the counterfeit banknote using the serial number in the present embodiment is determined to be a counterfeit banknote, the banknote is conveyed by the arrow (2 ′). (Not shown) is conveyed to a banknote storage box dedicated to counterfeit banknotes (in the figure, banknote storage box 11-n) and stored in the banknote storage box dedicated to counterfeit banknotes.

In addition, as another flow at the time of withdrawal, a process at the time of forgetting to take in (that is, if a banknote dispensed to the withdrawal port 8 is left at the withdrawal port 8 for a predetermined time or longer, the user forgets to remove it) There is a process for determining and taking in the bills of the withdrawal port 8 into the apparatus.

In this case, the taken (a plurality of) banknotes are conveyed one by one to the banknote recognition unit 9 from the withdrawal port 8 by the transport mechanism (not shown) at the arrow (3). A banknote recognition process and a serial number recognition process are executed for each banknote. The reason why the recognition process is performed at the time of withdrawal and at the time of taking in is that there is a possibility that a part of the banknote is replaced when the banknote is left in the withdrawal port 8.

At the withdrawal port, for example, whether or not the dispensed banknote has been taken out is monitored by judging the transmission state of the optical sensor. Therefore, in order to prevent the optical sensor from passing through the banknotes withdrawn by malicious users, leave at least one inside the withdrawal port, and after extracting other banknotes, the same number of sheets as withdrawn A counterfeit bill or a different type of bill may be returned to the inside of the withdrawal slot, pretending to be forgotten.

That is, the combination of banknotes that first passed the banknote recognition unit 9 for withdrawal and the combination of banknotes that passed the banknote recognition unit 9 for the second time when forgetting to take in are compared. In this embodiment, regardless of whether or not the combination of banknotes matches as a result of comparison, in the case of forgetting to take in, an arrow (4), and a banknote dedicated to forgetting to take in by a transport mechanism (not shown) It is transported to the storage box (in the figure, the banknote storage box 11-1), and stored in the banknote storage box dedicated to forgetting to take it.

Thereby, presentation to the police etc. can be performed easily, keeping a banknote state, without a third party touching.
The process of this embodiment is realizable in the banknote recognition apparatus which has a serial number recognition function. As shown in FIG. 4, the banknote recognition apparatus includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 15, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 16, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 17, a communication interface 18, a recording medium reading device 19, a hard disk, and the like. A storage device 21, which are connected by a bus 22. The data (program) on the external storage device 23 can be accessed through the communication interface 18.

An application program as an execution base for controlling each unit described above is stored in a ROM 15, a storage device 21, an external storage device 23, and a portable recording medium (FDD, flash memory, etc.) read by the recording medium reading device 19. Is done. At the time of execution, the data is read out from either of them into the RAM 16 and executed by the CPU 17.

The database 2 of FIG. 1, FIG. 2, or FIG. 3 has a database for each transaction, a forged banknote serial number database, and a reporter database.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the data structure of the database for each transaction.

As shown in FIG. 5, the transaction database 25 includes transaction information 26 and recognition information 27.
The transaction information 26 includes a management number, transaction store, transaction time, transaction type (payment, withdrawal, etc.), and customer information (name, account number, etc.). Although not shown in the figure, the transaction information 26 also includes identification information (a machine number, a device ID, etc.) of the banknote recognition device.

The recognition information 27 has the number of records (lines) corresponding to the number of banknotes processed in this transaction. Each record includes the serial number and denomination of the banknote. Note that the denomination item is linked with recognition result information of banknote recognition processing (that is, information other than the serial number (recognition processing using pattern comparison, paper quality information, etc.)).

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data structure of a forged banknote number database.
As shown in FIG. 6, the forged banknote serial number database 28 has items of serial number, denomination, and customer information. The customer information is the same as that shown in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows the data structure of the reporter database.
As shown in FIG. 7, the reporter database 29 has items of report rank, registrant, affiliation, TEL (phone number), and mail (mail address).

If a problem occurs, notify the person set in the registrant's item. The notification rank is information used when deciding which registrant is notified at each timing when a counterfeit bill is detected in each transaction of the bill recognition device 2. The meaning of each value is shown below.
-"S" report on all events-"A" report when counterfeit bills are detected-"B" report when the denomination or serial number information does not match and the withdrawal amount differs from the amount to be collected-"C" denomination or When the serial number information is inconsistent and the withdrawal amount and the amount to be taken in are the same, notification is made when the denomination and the serial number information are the same regardless of whether the withdrawal amount and the amount to be taken in are the same. These are the flowcharts of the money_receiving | payment process in this embodiment.

In step S1 of FIG. 8, the banknote recognition process mentioned above for every banknote in the banknote recognition unit 9 with respect to the banknote conveyed one by one to the banknote recognition unit 9 by the conveyance mechanism (not shown) from the deposit port 7 is carried out. The serial number recognition process is executed. That is, a banknote recognition process and a serial number recognition process are performed with respect to one banknote (current banknote).

In step S2, the transaction database 25 shown in FIG. 5 is generated for the current transaction as a result of the banknote recognition process and serial number recognition process for the current banknote. That is, when step S2 is executed for the first time with respect to the deposit process, transaction information 26 is generated and the first record of the recognition information 27 is generated, and after the first time, one record is added to the end of the recognition information 27. The

In step S3, the transaction database 25 generated in step S2 or added with one record is compared with the counterfeit bill serial number database 28 of FIG.
In this verification, the counterfeit banknote serial number database 28 is searched using the current banknote serial number and denomination obtained as a result of the serial number recognition process and the banknote recognition process in step S2.

As a result of the search process of the forged banknote number database 28, if a record having the same serial number and denomination is found in the forged banknote number database 28, the current banknote is specified as a forged banknote, and the process proceeds to step S4.

As a result of the search process of the forged banknote number database 28, when a record having the same serial number and denomination is not found in the forged banknote number database 28, it is linked to the denomination item in the database 25 for each transaction. Whether or not the current banknote is a counterfeit banknote is determined with reference to the recognition result information of the banknote recognition process (that is, information other than the serial number (recognition process using pattern comparison, paper quality information, etc.)).

If the recognition result information indicates that it is a genuine ticket, the process proceeds to step S5.
When the recognition result information indicates that it is a counterfeit bill, the serial number information, denomination, and transaction information of this transaction for the current bill are added to the counterfeit bill serial number database 28. Then, the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S4, the reporter is notified based on the reporter database 29 of FIG. That is, for the registrant whose value of the “report rank” item in the reporter database 29 is “S” or “A”, the fact that the counterfeit banknote is detected for the corresponding mail address is Report with serial number information, denomination, and transaction information of this transaction generated in step S2. Then, the process proceeds to step S5.

In step S5 to which control is passed from step S3 or step S4, it is determined whether or not the transaction is completed (that is, whether or not banknotes remain in the deposit port 7).
If banknotes remain in the deposit slot 7, the transaction has not been completed, and the process returns to step S1 and is transported one by one to the banknote recognition unit 9 by the transport mechanism (not shown). The process after step S1 is repeated with respect to the banknote conveyed by the recognition unit 9.

On the other hand, if no banknote remains in the deposit slot 7, the transaction has been completed, and in step S6, the information (transaction information, banknote serial number, denomination, banknote recognition result) in the transaction database 25 is the medium (paper). Both media and electronic media are possible). That is, it is printed on a paper medium or stored as data on the transaction database 25 as shown in FIG. Then, a series of processing ends.

Thus, in the deposit process, when a forged banknote is found during the transaction of the banknote recognition device, the counterfeit banknote is found, the banknote serial number of the forged banknote, the denomination, and the transaction information in the database for each transaction. Reported to the reporter (registered person) registered in the reporter database. For this reason, in the report destination, the customer information included in the transaction information can be referred to, so that the person who handles counterfeit bills can be identified early.

If the transaction is a transaction involving payment (payment, transfer, etc.) other than forgetting to take in the dispensed banknote again without receiving the banknote, it is processed in step S3. When it is recognized that the banknote is a counterfeit banknote, the end of processing for all banknotes to be traded may be delayed. In this way, it is possible to further increase the possibility of securing a counterfeit bill handler on site.

9 and 10 are flowcharts of the withdrawal process in the present embodiment.
A certain withdrawal amount is specified by the user, and a withdrawal instruction is performed. In step S11 of FIG. 9, the banknotes conveyed one by one from the corresponding banknote storage cassette to the banknote recognition unit 9 by a transport mechanism (not shown). On the other hand, in the banknote recognition unit 9, the banknote recognition process and serial number recognition process which were mentioned above are performed for every banknote. That is, a banknote recognition process and a serial number recognition process are performed with respect to one banknote (current banknote).

In step S12, as a result of the banknote recognition process and the serial number recognition process for the current banknote, the transaction database 25 in FIG. 5 (in the description of this flowchart, this database is referred to as the transaction database (A)) this time. Generated for transactions. That is, when step S12 is executed for the first time with respect to the withdrawal process, transaction information 26 is generated and the first record of the recognition information 27 is generated, and after the first time, one record is added to the end of the recognition information 27. Is done.

In step S13, the transaction database (A) generated in step S12 or added with one record is compared with the counterfeit bill serial number database 28 of FIG.
In this collation, the counterfeit bill serial number database 28 is searched with the current bill serial number and denomination obtained as a result of the serial number recognition processing and bill recognition processing in step S12 as keys.

As a result of the search process of the forged banknote number database 28, if a record having the same serial number and denomination is found in the forged banknote number database 28, the current banknote is specified as a forged banknote, and the process proceeds to step S14.

As a result of the search process of the forged banknote number database 28, when a record having the same serial number and denomination is not found in the forged banknote number database 28, the record is linked to the denomination item in the database for each transaction (A). The banknote recognition process (that is, the recognition result information of information other than the serial number (recognition process using pattern comparison, paper quality information, etc.) is determined to determine whether the current banknote is a counterfeit banknote. .

If the recognition result information indicates that it is a genuine ticket, the process proceeds to step S15.
When the recognition result information indicates that it is a counterfeit bill, the serial number information, denomination, and transaction information of this transaction for the current bill are added to the counterfeit bill serial number database 28. Then, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the reporter is notified based on the reporter database 29 of FIG. That is, for the registrant whose value of the report rank item in the reporter database 29 is “S” or “A”, the fact that the counterfeit banknote has been detected for the corresponding mail address is indicated. Information, denomination, and the transaction information of this transaction generated in step S12 are reported. Then, the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15 to which control is passed from step S13 or step S14, it is determined whether or not the withdrawal has been completed (that is, whether or not the processing for the withdrawal amount designated by the user has been completed).

If the processing for the withdrawal amount specified by the user has not been completed, the withdrawal has not been completed, and the process returns to step S11 and the next bill is handled by the transport mechanism (not shown). The banknote storage cassette to be transported from the banknote recognition unit 9 to the banknote recognition unit 9 repeats the processes in and after step S11.

On the other hand, when the processing for the withdrawal amount designated by the user has been completed, the withdrawal has been completed, and the process proceeds to step S16.
In step S16, it is determined whether or not the transaction has been completed (that is, whether or not banknotes have been left in the withdrawal port 8 for a predetermined time or more).

If there is no banknote at the withdrawal port 8 before the predetermined time has elapsed, the transaction is completed, and in step S17, information (transaction information, banknote serial number, denomination, banknote) in the database for each transaction (A). (Recognition result) is output to a medium (both paper medium and electronic medium are acceptable). That is, it is printed on a paper medium or stored as data on the transaction database 25 as shown in FIG. Then, a series of processing ends.

On the other hand, when the banknote is left in the withdrawal port 8 for a predetermined time or more, the transaction is not completed and is processed as forgetting to take in. That is, the process proceeds to step S18 in FIG.
In step S18, the banknote recognition unit 9 describes the banknote recognition process described above for each banknote in the banknote recognition unit 9 with respect to the banknotes conveyed one by one to the banknote recognition unit 9 from the dispensing port 8 by a transport mechanism (not shown). Number recognition processing is executed. That is, a banknote recognition process and a serial number recognition process are performed with respect to one banknote (current banknote).

In step S19, as a result of the banknote recognition process and the serial number recognition process for the current banknote, the transaction database 25 of FIG. 5 (in the description of this flowchart, this database is referred to as the transaction database (B)) this time. Generated for forgetting to fetch. That is, when step S19 is executed for the first time with respect to the forget-to-take-in process, transaction information 26 is generated and the first record of the recognition information 27 is generated, and after the first time, one record is added at the end of the recognition information 27. Is added.

In step S20, the transaction database (B) generated in step S19 or added with one record is compared with the counterfeit bill serial number database 28 of FIG.
In this collation, the counterfeit bill serial number database 28 is searched with the current bill serial number and denomination obtained as a result of the serial number recognition processing and bill recognition processing in step S19 as keys.

As a result of the search processing of the forged banknote number database 28, if a record having the same serial number and denomination is found in the forged banknote number database 28, the current banknote is specified as a forged banknote, and the process proceeds to step S21.

As a result of the search process of the forged banknote number database 28, if a record having the same serial number and denomination is not found in the forged banknote number database 28, it is linked to the denomination item in the database for each transaction (B). The banknote recognition process (that is, the recognition result information of information other than the serial number (recognition process using pattern comparison, paper quality information, etc.) is determined to determine whether the current banknote is a counterfeit banknote. .

If the recognition result information indicates that it is a genuine ticket, the process proceeds to step S22.
When the recognition result information indicates that it is a counterfeit bill, the serial number information, denomination, and transaction information of this transaction for the current bill are added to the counterfeit bill serial number database 28. Then, the process proceeds to step S21.

In step S21, the reporter is notified based on the reporter database 29 of FIG. That is, for the registrant whose value of the report rank item in the reporter database 29 is “S” or “A”, the fact that the counterfeit banknote has been detected for the corresponding mail address is indicated. Information and denominations are reported together with the transaction information of this transaction generated in step S19. Then, the process proceeds to step S26.

In step S22 to which control is passed from step S20, it is determined whether or not the processing for the banknote taken into the apparatus is completed.
When it determines with the process about the banknote taken in in the apparatus not being completed, it returns to step S18, and the following 1 banknote is conveyed to the banknote recognition unit 9 with a conveyance mechanism (not shown), and a banknote The process after step S18 is repeated with respect to the banknote conveyed by the recognition unit 9.

On the other hand, when it determines with the process about the banknote taken in in the apparatus having been completed, it progresses to step S23.
In step S23, it is determined whether or not the transaction database (A) generated in step S12 matches the transaction database (B) generated in step S19.

That is, it is determined whether the recognition information in the transaction database (A) and the recognition information in the transaction database (B) match as a combination.
At this time, the total amount (withdrawal amount) of the database for each transaction (A) is calculated by taking the sum of the amounts corresponding to the denominations of each record of the recognition information in the database for each transaction (A). The total amount (capture amount) of the database for each transaction (B) is calculated by taking the sum of the amounts corresponding to the denominations of each record of the recognition information in the database (B).

If it is determined in step S23 that the transaction database (A) and the transaction database (B) match as a combination, the reporter is notified in step S24 based on the reporter database 29 of FIG. . In other words, for each registrant whose report rank value in the reporter database 29 is “S” or “D”, the transaction database (A ), Together with the database (B) for each transaction. Then, the process proceeds to step S26.

When it is determined in step S23 that the transaction database (A) and the transaction database (B) do not match as a combination, the withdrawal amount of the transaction database (A) calculated in step S23 in step S25. Then, the reporter is notified based on the reporter database 29 of FIG.

That is, when the withdrawal amount in the transaction database (A) does not match the amount in the transaction database (B), the value of the report rank item in the reporter database 29 is “S” or “B”. A certain registrant is notified that the forgotten take-in has occurred to the corresponding e-mail address together with the database for each transaction (A) and the database for each transaction (B). If the amount of the transaction database (B) is the same, the value of the report rank item in the reporter database 29 is “S” or “C”. Then, it is reported together with the database for each transaction (A) and the database for each transaction (B) that forgetting to take in has occurred. Then, the process proceeds to step S26.

In step S26 to which control is passed from step S21, step S23, or step S25, information (transaction information, banknote serial number, denomination, banknote recognition result) of each transaction database (A) and (B) is a medium (paper). Both media and electronic media can be printed. That is, it is printed on a paper medium or stored as data on the transaction database 25 as shown in FIG. Then, a series of processing ends.

In this manner, in the withdrawal process, in the case of forgetting to take in, whether the information in the database for each transaction (A) for the banknotes withdrawn matches the information in the database for each transaction (B) for the banknotes that have been taken in. Regardless of the determination result, the forgetting to take-in is performed, the information in the database for each transaction (A) for the banknotes withdrawn, and the information in the database for each transaction (B) for the banknotes taken in are the reporter database. You will be notified to the reporter (registered person) registered in. For this reason, in the report destination, the customer information included in the transaction information in the transaction-by-transaction database can be referred to and specified even in the case of forgetting to pick up the counter of counterfeit bills.

In the above description, serial numbers are compared in step S3 in FIG. 8, step S13 in FIG. 9, step S20 in FIG. 10, and step S23. Specifically, in this comparison, the threshold value for each circulating banknote (the number of digits of the serial number matches with the banknote level (dirt, serial number recognition, etc.) of each country is matched. A value indicating whether or not to match is set, and a match equal to or greater than the threshold is determined as a match.

Moreover, according to this system, in the period when a banknote recognition process cannot respond to a clever counterfeit banknote, the counterfeit banknote number database in which the serial number of the counterfeit banknote is registered is referred to and the clever counterfeit banknote is specified. be able to. Therefore, since it takes time to develop / evaluate the banknote recognition logic, the banknote recognition process using information other than the serial number cannot be used for the counterfeit counterfeit banknote, and the counterfeit banknote can be handled. Is possible.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the banknote serial number database shared on the network is automatically updated. Therefore, the distribution of counterfeit bills can be prevented early.
