Description

紙幣処理装置及び紙幣処理方法Banknote processing apparatus and banknote processing method
　本発明は、紙幣を分類集積する紙幣処理装置及び紙幣処理方法に係り、紙幣番号を利用して紙幣を分類する紙幣処理装置及び紙幣処理方法に関し、特に障害が発生した場合に、復旧処理において障害発生前と同じ分類状態を再現できる紙幣処理装置及び紙幣処理方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus and a banknote processing method for classifying and collecting banknotes, and relates to a banknote processing apparatus and a banknote processing method for classifying banknotes using banknote numbers. The present invention relates to a banknote processing apparatus and a banknote processing method capable of reproducing the same classification state as before generation.
　複数の集積部を有する紙幣処理装置を用いた入金処理を行う際に、紙幣を汚損状態によってランク付けし、再利用に適した正券と、再利用に適さない損券とを異なる集積部に分類集積させることが行われている。複数の入金取引を連続処理して、２回目取引分の処理途中でジャム等の障害が発生した場合、各集積部には、確定した初回取引分の紙幣と、未確定で処理途中の２回目取引分の紙幣とが混在する。 When performing deposit processing using a banknote processing apparatus having a plurality of stacking units, the banknotes are ranked according to the fouling state, and correct bills suitable for reuse and non-reusable bills are in different stacking units. Classification and accumulation are performed. When a plurality of deposit transactions are processed continuously and a failure such as a jam occurs during the processing of the second transaction, each stacking unit has a banknote for the confirmed first transaction and an unconfirmed second transaction being processed. Banknotes for transactions are mixed.
　特許文献１は、障害復旧処理において、確定した取引分についての確定枚数を再現する紙幣処理装置を開示している。特許文献１の紙幣処理装置は、紙幣の金種識別及び正損判定を行い、紙幣を金種及び正損別に複数の集積部に集積するとともに、各集積部の確定枚数を記憶手段が記憶する。入金処理中に障害が発生した場合、オペレータが各集積部に集積されているすべての紙幣を、堆積された順番を保ったまま、ホッパに再載置する。そして、ホッパに再載置された紙幣の金種識別及び正損の判定を行い、紙幣を金種及び正損別に元の集積部に集積する。このとき、複数の集積部のいずれかの集積枚数が、記憶手段に記憶されている当該集積部の確定枚数に達した場合、確定枚数に達した集積部に割り当てられている金種の紙幣については、正損の判定の如何に関わらず、この金種が割り当てられている他の集積部に集積する。 Patent Document 1 discloses a banknote processing apparatus that reproduces a confirmed number of confirmed transactions in a failure recovery process. The banknote processing apparatus of Patent Document 1 performs denomination and correctness determination of banknotes, stacks banknotes in a plurality of stacking units according to denominations and correctnesses, and the storage unit stores the determined number of stacking units. . When a failure occurs during the depositing process, the operator re-loads all the banknotes stacked in each stacking unit on the hopper while maintaining the stacking order. Then, the denomination and correctness determination of the banknotes remounted on the hopper are performed, and the banknotes are stacked in the original stacking unit by denomination and correctness. At this time, when the number of sheets accumulated in any of the plurality of stacking units reaches the fixed number of the stacking unit stored in the storage unit, the banknote of the denomination assigned to the stacking unit that has reached the determined number Regardless of whether the damage is judged or not, the money is accumulated in another accumulation unit to which this denomination is assigned.
　このように、従来は、正損別に紙幣を集積する集積部の各々についての確定枚数を記憶しておき、障害復旧処理では、正損判定を再度行い、正券（又は損券）の集積部の集積枚数が記憶した確定枚数に達したら、残りの紙幣は判定結果によらず損券（又は正券）の集積部に集積していた。 As described above, conventionally, the determined number for each stacking unit that stacks banknotes according to correctness is stored, and in the failure recovery process, the correctness determination is performed again, and the corrective bill (or damaged bill) stacking unit is stored. When the number of stacked sheets reaches the determined number of stored sheets, the remaining banknotes were stacked in the stacking section of the non-performing bill (or correct bill) regardless of the determination result.
　しかし、識別センサで紙幣を読み取るときの条件によって、読み取った汚損状態に誤差が生じるので、正券と損券の見極めが難しい紙幣については、障害発生前と障害復旧処理時とで異なる判定結果が出る可能性がある。そのため、上述のような従来の紙幣処理装置では、障害復旧処理において、正券の集積部の集積枚数が記憶した確定枚数に達した後、明らかな正券が損券の集積部に集積されたり、損券の集積部の集積枚数が記憶した確定枚数に達した後、明らかな損券が正券の集積部に集積されたりするという問題があった。 However, depending on the conditions when the banknote is read by the identification sensor, an error occurs in the read dirty state.For banknotes where it is difficult to determine the correct and non-performing bills, there are different judgment results before failure occurrence and during failure recovery processing. There is a possibility of coming out. Therefore, in the conventional banknote processing apparatus as described above, after the number of sheets accumulated in the stacking unit of the correct bills reaches the stored number in the failure recovery process, the clear bills are stacked in the stacking unit of the damaged bills. However, after the number of accumulated sheets of the non-conventional bill stacking unit reaches the determined number of stored sheets, there is a problem that an obvious non-conventional bill is accumulated in the stacking unit of the genuine bill.
　また、金種別に分類集積する場合で、１つの金種について複数の集積部が割り当てられている場合は、同じ金種の２枚の紙幣の集積部が、障害発生前と障害復旧処理時とで入れ替わることがあった。 In addition, when collecting and collecting by denomination, when a plurality of stacking units are assigned to one denomination, the stacking unit of two banknotes of the same denomination is before the occurrence of a failure and during a failure recovery process. Sometimes it was replaced.

　図１は、本実施形態に係る紙幣処理装置１００の斜視図であり、図２は紙幣処理装置１００の断面図である。また、図３は、紙幣処理装置１００のブロック構成図である。図１及び図２に示すように、紙幣処理装置１００は、オペレータによって積層状態で投入された紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込む受入部１０１と、受入部１０１によって取り込まれた紙幣を搬送する搬送部１１４と、搬送部１１４に設けられ、当該搬送部１１４によって搬送される紙幣を識別する識別部１１３と、を備えている。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the banknote handling apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the banknote handling apparatus 100. FIG. 3 is a block configuration diagram of the banknote handling apparatus 100. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the banknote handling apparatus 100 includes a receiving unit 101 that takes in banknotes that are put in a stacked state by an operator one by one, and a transport unit 114 that transports the banknotes taken in by the receiving unit 101. And an identification unit 113 that is provided in the transport unit 114 and identifies a banknote transported by the transport unit 114.
　また、図２に示すように、受入部１０１と識別部１１３との間には、受入部１０１によって取り込まれた紙幣の搬送状態を検知する搬送状態検出センサ１２１、１２２が設けられている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, conveyance state detection sensors 121 and 122 that detect the conveyance state of the bills taken in by the reception unit 101 are provided between the reception unit 101 and the identification unit 113.
　識別部１１３は、搬送部１１４によって搬送されている紙幣の画像を読み取る画像読取センサ１２３を有している。識別部１１３は、画像読取センサ１２３によって読み取られた画像データに基づいて、紙幣の通貨、金種、方向、正損、新旧、真偽などを識別し、紙幣情報を取得する。方向は、表前、表後、裏前、裏後の４方向ある。具体的には、紙幣の短辺に平行な方向に紙幣を搬送する場合は、肖像が上で且つ肖像の頭の方から取り込まれる方向が表前、肖像が上で且つ頭と反対の方から取り込まれる方向が表後、肖像が下で且つ肖像の頭の方から取り込まれる方向が裏前、肖像が下で且つ頭と反対の方から取り込まれる方向が裏後となる。 The identification part 113 has the image reading sensor 123 which reads the image of the banknote currently conveyed by the conveyance part 114. FIG. Based on the image data read by the image reading sensor 123, the identification unit 113 identifies the currency, denomination, direction, damage, new / old, true / false, etc., of the banknote, and acquires banknote information. There are four directions, front, back, front, and back. Specifically, when a banknote is conveyed in a direction parallel to the short side of the banknote, the direction in which the portrait is on and taken from the head of the portrait is the front, the portrait is on and from the opposite side of the head The direction in which the image is taken in is the front, the direction in which the portrait is taken down and from the head of the portrait is in the back, and the direction in which the portrait is taken in from the bottom and the opposite side of the head is the back.
　また、画像読取センサ１２３によって読み取られた画像データに基づいて、紙幣の紙幣番号を取得する取得部１１２が設けられている。取得部１１２は識別部１１３の一部でもよいし、識別部１１３とは別個に設けられていてもよい。 Also, an acquisition unit 112 that acquires the banknote number of the banknote based on the image data read by the image reading sensor 123 is provided.

For example, banknotes that have been determined to be identification abnormality or conveyance abnormality are accumulated in the reject unit 102a. In the reject unit 102b, banknotes that are determined to be fake by the authenticating determination of the identification unit 113 are accumulated.
　ここで、搬送異常とは、搬送部１１４によって紙幣を搬送する際の異常を意味している。このような搬送異常としては、例えば、紙幣が斜めに搬送されている場合（斜行）や、複数の紙幣が重なって搬送されている場合（重送）や、複数の紙幣が所定の間隔を隔てないで搬送されている場合（連鎖）などが挙げられる。 Here, the conveyance abnormality means an abnormality when the banknote is conveyed by the conveyance unit 114. For example, when the banknotes are transported obliquely (skew), or when a plurality of banknotes are stacked and transported (multiple feed), the plurality of banknotes have a predetermined interval. The case where it is transported without separation (chain) is mentioned.
　センサ１２４ａ、１２４ｂは、紙幣が正常にリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂへと案内されているかを検知する。 Sensors 124a and 124b detect whether or not the banknotes are normally guided to the reject units 102a and 102b.
　識別部１１３の下流側であって搬送部１１４の端部には、搬送部１１４によって搬送された紙幣を集積する集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄが連結されている。集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄは、受入部１０１により取り込まれた紙幣を、当該紙幣の紙幣情報（通貨、金種、方向、正損、新旧等）に基づいて、分類して集積する。 Accumulation units 106a to 106d for accumulating banknotes conveyed by the conveyance unit 114 are connected to the end of the conveyance unit 114 on the downstream side of the identification unit 113. The stacking units 106a to 106d classify and stack the banknotes taken in by the receiving unit 101 based on the banknote information (currency, denomination, direction, loss, old and new, etc.) of the banknote.
　センサ１２５は、リジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに案内されなかった紙幣が、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに向かって正常に案内されているかを検知する。センサ１２６ａ～１２６ｄは、紙幣が正常に集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに案内されているかを検知する。また、センサ１２７ａ～１２７ｃは、紙幣が正常に搬送されているかを検知する。 The sensor 125 detects whether or not banknotes that have not been guided to the reject units 102a and 102b are normally guided toward the stacking units 106a to 106d. The sensors 126a to 126d detect whether or not banknotes are normally guided to the stacking units 106a to 106d. Further, the sensors 127a to 127c detect whether or not the banknotes are normally conveyed.
　また、図１に示すように、紙幣処理装置１００には、オペレータからの指示を受け付けるための入力キーを有する操作部１０３や、様々な情報を表示する表示部１０４が設けられている。また、紙幣処理装置１００には、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに集積されている紙幣の種類や枚数を表示する個別表示部１０７ａ～１０７ｄが設けられている。個別表示部１０７ａ～１０７ｄは、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに集積されている紙幣の種類や集積枚数を表示する。紙幣の種類とは、例えば、通貨、金種、方向、正損、新旧などである。表示部１０４及び個別表示部１０７ａ～１０７ｄは、例えばＬＣＤ等のディスプレイである。 As shown in FIG. 1, the banknote processing apparatus 100 is provided with an operation unit 103 having an input key for receiving an instruction from an operator, and a display unit 104 for displaying various information. Also, the banknote handling apparatus 100 is provided with individual display units 107a to 107d for displaying the types and number of banknotes accumulated in the stacking units 106a to 106d. The individual display units 107a to 107d display the types of banknotes and the number of sheets stacked on the stacking units 106a to 106d. Examples of banknote types include currency, denomination, direction, correctness, old and new, and the like. The display unit 104 and the individual display units 107a to 107d are displays such as an LCD.
　図３に示すように、紙幣処理装置１００は、各部を制御する制御部１１１と、記憶部１１８とを有している。 As shown in FIG. 3, the banknote handling apparatus 100 includes a control unit 111 that controls each unit and a storage unit 118.
　制御部１１１は、記憶部１１８に記憶された制御プログラムに基づいて、各部を制御する。制御部１１１はＣＰＵ等のプロセッサである。また、記憶部１１８は、ＲＯＭ、ＲＡＭ、ハードディスクドライブ、フラッシュメモリ等の記憶媒体を１つ以上有する。 The control unit 111 controls each unit based on the control program stored in the storage unit 118. The control unit 111 is a processor such as a CPU. The storage unit 118 includes one or more storage media such as a ROM, a RAM, a hard disk drive, and a flash memory.
　また、紙幣処理装置１００は、紙幣の搬送に関する障害の発生を検知する障害検知部１１６を備えている。例えば、障害検知部１１６は、センサ１２１、１２２、１２５、１２７ａ～１２７ｃの検知結果から、ジャム等の障害の発生を検知する。 Moreover, the banknote handling apparatus 100 includes a failure detection unit 116 that detects the occurrence of a failure related to the conveyance of banknotes. For example, the failure detection unit 116 detects the occurrence of a failure such as a jam from the detection results of the sensors 121, 122, 125, 127a to 127c.
　制御部１１１は、通常モードと紙幣番号モードの２つのモードを切り替えて実行することができる。通常モードは、通常の紙幣処理時に実行されるモードであり、紙幣番号モードは、予め関連付けられた紙幣番号と分類情報に基づき紙幣を分類するモードであり、例えば、障害検知部１１６により障害発生が検知された後、障害復旧処理時に実行されるモードである。 The control unit 111 can switch between the normal mode and the banknote number mode for execution. The normal mode is a mode executed at the time of normal banknote processing, and the banknote number mode is a mode for classifying banknotes based on banknote numbers and classification information associated in advance. For example, the failure detection unit 116 generates a failure. This mode is executed at the time of failure recovery processing after being detected.
　通常モードにおいて、制御部１１１は、識別部１１３が取得した紙幣情報に基づいて紙幣を集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄのいずれへ搬送するかを決定し、搬送部１１４を制御する。また、制御部１１１は、分類情報と、取得部１１２が取得したこの紙幣の紙幣番号とを関連付けて記憶部１１８に記憶させる。ここで、分類情報は、紙幣の分類に関する情報であり、例えば、紙幣の搬送先である。例えば、集積部１０６ａに１００００円紙幣、集積部１０６ｂに１０００円紙幣、集積部１０６ｃに５０００円紙幣が割り当てられており、受入部１０１により取り込まれた紙幣が５０００円紙幣、この紙幣の紙幣番号がＦＭ７６６４７１Ｌである場合、制御部１１１は、紙幣番号ＦＭ７６６４７１Ｌに集積部１０６ｃを関連付けて記憶部１１８に記憶させる。 In the normal mode, the control unit 111 determines which of the stacking units 106a to 106d is to transport the banknote based on the banknote information acquired by the identification unit 113, and controls the transport unit 114. Further, the control unit 111 stores the classification information and the banknote number of the banknote acquired by the acquisition unit 112 in association with each other in the storage unit 118. Here, the classification information is information relating to the classification of banknotes, and is, for example, a banknote transport destination. For example, a 10,000 yen banknote is allocated to the stacking unit 106a, a 1000 yen banknote is allocated to the stacking unit 106b, and a 5000 yen banknote is allocated to the stacking unit 106c. The banknote captured by the receiving unit 101 is a 5000 yen banknote, and the banknote number of this banknote is In the case of FM 766471L, the control unit 111 causes the storage unit 118 to store the banknote number FM766471L in association with the stacking unit 106c.
　制御部１１１は、個別表示部１０７ａ～１０７ｄに、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに割り当てられている紙幣の種類や、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄの集積枚数を表示させる。また、１取引分の紙幣の処理が終了すると、制御部１１１は、紙幣の計数結果を表示部１０４に表示し、操作部１０３を介してユーザから確定指示を受け付けると、１取引分の紙幣の計数結果を確定し、確定した計数結果を記憶部１１８に記憶させる。 The control unit 111 causes the individual display units 107a to 107d to display the types of banknotes assigned to the stacking units 106a to 106d and the number of stacked sheets of the stacking units 106a to 106d. Moreover, when the process of the banknote for 1 transaction is complete | finished, the control part 111 will display the count result of a banknote on the display part 104, and will receive the confirmation instruction | indication from a user via the operation part 103, the banknote for 1 transaction will be received. The count result is confirmed, and the confirmed count result is stored in the storage unit 118.
　次に、紙幣番号モードが実行される処理の一例として、障害復旧処理について説明する。障害検知部１１６により障害発生が検知されると、制御部１１１は紙幣処理装置１００の動作を停止させる。紙幣処理装置１００の動作停止後、ユーザが集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ内の紙幣を取り出し、受入部１０１に再投入する。制御部１１１は、紙幣番号モードを実行し、受入部１０１に再投入された紙幣の取り込みを開始する。 Next, failure recovery processing will be described as an example of processing in which the bill number mode is executed. When a failure occurrence is detected by the failure detection unit 116, the control unit 111 stops the operation of the banknote processing apparatus 100. After the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 100 stops, the user takes out the banknotes in the stacking units 106 a to 106 d and re-inserts them into the receiving unit 101. The control unit 111 executes the banknote number mode, and starts taking in banknotes re-inserted into the receiving unit 101.
　紙幣番号モードにおいても、取得部１１２は取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣番号を取得するが、識別部１１３による紙幣情報の取得は必須ではない。制御部１１１は、取得部１１２が取得した紙幣番号を用いて記憶部１１８を検索する。取得部１１２が取得した紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されている場合、制御部１１１は、この紙幣番号に関連付けられている分類情報（紙幣の搬送先）を抽出する。制御部１１１は、記憶部１１８から抽出した紙幣の搬送先を、取り込まれた紙幣の搬送先として決定し、搬送部１１４を制御する。これにより、受入部１０１に再投入された紙幣は、障害発生前に集積されていた集積部へ搬送される。 In the banknote number mode, the acquisition unit 112 acquires the banknote number of the captured banknote, but acquisition of banknote information by the identification unit 113 is not essential. The control unit 111 searches the storage unit 118 using the banknote number acquired by the acquisition unit 112. When the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired by the acquisition unit 112 is stored in the storage unit 118, the control unit 111 extracts classification information (banknote transport destination) associated with the banknote number. The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of the banknote extracted from the memory | storage part 118 as a conveyance destination of the taken in banknote, and controls the conveyance part 114. FIG. As a result, the banknotes re-inserted into the receiving unit 101 are conveyed to the stacking unit that has been stacked before the occurrence of the failure.
　次に、本実施形態による紙幣処理方法を図４、図５に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。図４に示すフローチャートは、通常モードにおける紙幣処理に対応し、図５に示すフローチャートは、障害発生が検知された後の紙幣番号モードにおける紙幣処理に対応している。 Next, the banknote processing method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to the banknote processing in the normal mode, and the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 corresponds to the banknote processing in the banknote number mode after the occurrence of the failure is detected.
　まず、図４に示すフローチャートを用いて、通常モードにおける紙幣処理方法について説明する。 First, the banknote processing method in the normal mode will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.
　（ステップＳ１０１）１取引分の紙幣を受入部１０１に投入する。 (Step S101) The bills for one transaction are inserted into the receiving unit 101.
　（ステップＳ１０２）受入部１０１が紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込む。 (Step S102) The receiving unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.
　（ステップＳ１０３）識別部１１３が、取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣情報（通貨、金種、方向、正損、新旧、真偽）を取得する。また、取得部１１２が、取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣番号を取得する。 (Step S103) The identification unit 113 acquires banknote information (currency, denomination, direction, correctness, new and old, true / false) of the captured banknote. Moreover, the acquisition part 112 acquires the banknote number of the taken-in banknote.
　（ステップＳ１０４）制御部１１１が、ステップＳ１０３で取得された紙幣情報に基づいて、紙幣の搬送先を決定する。集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄには、集積紙幣の種類が予め割り当てられている。集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに割り当てられていない種類の紙幣や、偽券はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂへ搬送される。 (Step S104) The control unit 111 determines the banknote transport destination based on the banknote information acquired in step S103. The types of stacked banknotes are assigned in advance to the stacking units 106a to 106d. Bills of a type not assigned to the stacking units 106a to 106d and counterfeit bills are conveyed to the rejecting units 102a and 102b.
　（ステップＳ１０５）紙幣が集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ又はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに分類集積される。 (Step S105) The banknotes are classified and accumulated in the accumulating units 106a to 106d or the rejecting units 102a and 102b.
　（ステップＳ１０６）制御部１１１が、ステップＳ１０３で取得された紙幣番号と、この紙幣の搬送先とを関連付けて記憶部１１８に記憶させる。 (Step S106) The control unit 111 stores the banknote number acquired in step S103 and the transport destination of the banknote in the storage unit 118 in association with each other.
　（ステップＳ１０７）受入部１０１に投入された紙幣を全て取り込んだ場合はステップＳ１０８へ進み、受入部１０１に紙幣が残っている場合はステップＳ１０２に戻る。 (Step S107) When all the banknotes inserted into the receiving unit 101 are taken in, the process proceeds to step S108, and when the banknotes remain in the receiving unit 101, the process returns to step S102.
　（ステップＳ１０８）計数結果が表示部１０４に表示され、ユーザが操作部１０３を介して確定指示を入力する。 (Step S108) The counting result is displayed on the display unit 104, and the user inputs a confirmation instruction via the operation unit 103.
　（ステップＳ１０９）次の取引分の紙幣がある場合はステップＳ１０１に戻る。 (Step S109) If there is a bill for the next transaction, the process returns to Step S101.
　このように、通常モードでは、紙幣が種類に応じて分類集積されるとともに、紙幣番号と紙幣の搬送先とが関連付けられて記憶部１１８に記憶される。 Thus, in the normal mode, the banknotes are classified and accumulated according to the type, and the banknote number and the banknote transport destination are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 118.
　次に、図５に示すフローチャートを用いて、障害復旧処理の場合の紙幣番号モードにおける紙幣処理方法について説明する。 Next, the banknote processing method in the banknote number mode in the case of failure recovery processing will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.
　（ステップＳ２０１）障害検知部１１６により障害発生が検知されると、制御部１１１は紙幣番号モードを実行し、受入部１０１による紙幣の取り込み、及び搬送部１１４による紙幣の搬送等を停止させる。 (Step S201) When a failure occurrence is detected by the failure detection unit 116, the control unit 111 executes the banknote number mode, and stops the taking-in of the banknote by the receiving unit 101, the conveyance of the banknote by the transport unit 114, and the like.
　ユーザは、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに集積されている紙幣を取り出す。また、搬送部１１４による搬送途中の紙幣（搬送路上の紙幣）も取り出す。さらに、リジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに集積されている紙幣を取り出してもよい。 The user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the accumulation units 106a to 106d. Moreover, the banknote in the middle of conveyance by the conveyance part 114 (banknote on a conveyance path) is also taken out. Furthermore, you may take out the banknote integrated | stacked on reject part 102a, 102b.
　（ステップＳ２０２）ステップＳ２０１で取り出した紙幣を受入部１０１に再投入する。搬送路から取り出した紙幣は、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄから取り出した紙幣の後に受入部１０１へ再投入する。 (Step S202) The banknote taken out in Step S201 is reinserted into the receiving unit 101. The banknotes taken out from the transport path are reinserted into the receiving unit 101 after the banknotes taken out from the stacking units 106a to 106d.
　（ステップＳ２０３）受入部１０１が紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込む。 (Step S203) The receiving unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.
　（ステップＳ２０４）取得部１１２が、取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣番号を取得する。また、リジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに集積されている紙幣を取り出し、受入部１０１に再投入する場合は、識別部１１３が、取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣情報（通貨、金種、方向、正損、新旧、真偽）を取得してもよい。 (Step S204) The acquisition unit 112 acquires the banknote number of the captured banknote. In addition, when the banknotes accumulated in the reject units 102a and 102b are taken out and reinserted into the receiving unit 101, the identification unit 113 receives banknote information (currency, denomination, direction, correctness, old and new) of the captured banknotes. , True or false).
　（ステップＳ２０５）制御部１１１がステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号を用いて記憶部１１８を検索する。 (Step S205) The control unit 111 searches the storage unit 118 using the banknote number acquired in step S204.
　（ステップＳ２０６）ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されている場合はステップＳ２０７へ進み、記憶されていない場合はステップＳ２０８へ進む。ここで、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されていない紙幣とは、ステップＳ２０１でリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂから取り出した紙幣である。リジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに集積されていた紙幣には、搬送異常や識別異常により、紙幣番号または紙幣情報を正常に取得できなかった紙幣が含まれるためである。 (Step S206) If the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S204 is stored in the storage unit 118, the process proceeds to step S207. If not stored, the process proceeds to step S208. Here, the banknote in which the banknote number same as the banknote number acquired at step S204 is not memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 118 is a banknote taken out from rejection part 102a, 102b by step S201. This is because the banknotes accumulated in the reject units 102a and 102b include banknotes for which banknote numbers or banknote information could not be normally acquired due to conveyance abnormality or identification abnormality.
　（ステップＳ２０７）制御部１１１は、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号に関連付けられている分類情報（紙幣の搬送先）を記憶部１１８から抽出する。制御部１１１は、抽出した紙幣の搬送先を、取り込まれた紙幣の搬送先として決定する。 (Step S207) The control unit 111 extracts, from the storage unit 118, classification information (banknote transport destination) associated with the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S204. The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of the extracted banknote as a conveyance destination of the taken-in banknote.
　（ステップＳ２０８）制御部１１１が、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣情報に基づいて、紙幣の搬送先を決定する。集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに割り当てられている集積紙幣の種類は通常モードと同じである。 (Step S208) The control unit 111 determines a banknote transport destination based on the banknote information acquired in Step S204. The types of stacked banknotes assigned to the stacking units 106a to 106d are the same as in the normal mode.
　（ステップＳ２０９）制御部１１１が、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号と、この紙幣の搬送先とを関連付けて記憶部１１８に記憶させる。 (Step S209) The control unit 111 causes the storage unit 118 to store the banknote number acquired in step S204 in association with the transport destination of the banknote.
　なお、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されていない紙幣については、ステップＳ２０８とステップＳ２０９に代えて、すべてリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに分類集積するようにしてもよい。 Note that banknotes for which the same banknote number as that acquired in step S204 is not stored in the storage unit 118 are all classified and accumulated in the reject units 102a and 102b instead of step S208 and step S209. Good.
　（ステップＳ２１０）紙幣が集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ又はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに分類集積される。 (Step S210) The banknotes are classified and accumulated in the accumulating units 106a to 106d or the rejecting units 102a and 102b.
　（ステップＳ２１１）受入部１０１に再投入された紙幣を全て取り込んだ場合は通常モードに戻り、受入部１０１に紙幣が残っている場合はステップＳ２０３に戻る。 (Step S211) When all the banknotes re-inserted into the receiving unit 101 are taken in, the process returns to the normal mode, and when banknotes remain in the receiving unit 101, the process returns to Step S203.
　これにより、受入部１０１に再投入された紙幣は、障害発生前に集積されていた集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄへ搬送される。 Thereby, the banknotes re-inserted into the receiving unit 101 are conveyed to the stacking units 106a to 106d that were stacked before the failure occurred.
　本実施形態では、紙幣番号と搬送先とを関連付けて記憶しておき、障害復旧処理時に再投入された紙幣の搬送先を、この紙幣の紙幣番号に関連付けられている搬送先とする。そのため、例えば、正券と損券の見極めが難しく、障害発生前と障害復旧処理時とで異なる判定結果が出る可能性がある紙幣であっても、紙幣番号から搬送先を決定するため、障害発生前と同じ集積部に集積することができる。また、金種別に分類集積し、１つの金種について複数の集積部を割り当てている場合であっても、障害発生前と障害復旧処理後とで同じ集積部に集積することができる。 In this embodiment, the banknote number and the transport destination are stored in association with each other, and the transport destination of the banknote re-introduced at the time of the failure recovery process is set as the transport destination associated with the banknote number of the banknote. Therefore, for example, it is difficult to determine the correct and non-performing bills, and even if it is a banknote that may have different judgment results before the failure and during the failure recovery process, It can be accumulated in the same accumulation part as before the occurrence. Further, even when a plurality of stacking units are assigned to one denomination by categorizing and collecting by denomination, they can be stacked in the same stacking unit before failure occurrence and after failure recovery processing.
　このように、本実施形態によれば、各紙幣を、通常モードと紙幣番号モードとで、同じ集積部に集積することができ、特に、障害復旧処理において紙幣番号モードを実行した場合は、障害発生前と障害復旧処理後とで同じ分類状態を再現することができる。 Thus, according to the present embodiment, each banknote can be stacked on the same stacking unit in the normal mode and the banknote number mode. In particular, when the banknote number mode is executed in the fault recovery process, The same classification state can be reproduced before occurrence and after failure recovery processing.
　上記実施形態において、障害復旧処理時に集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄから取り出した紙幣は、集積順序を保ったまま受入部１０１に再投入することが好ましい。このことにより、障害発生前と障害復旧処理後とで、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄにおける集積順序も再現することができる。 In the above embodiment, it is preferable that the banknotes taken out from the stacking units 106a to 106d during the failure recovery process are re-inserted into the receiving unit 101 while maintaining the stacking order. As a result, the stacking order in the stacking units 106a to 106d can be reproduced before the occurrence of the failure and after the failure recovery process.
　上記実施形態では、紙幣番号に関連付けられる分類情報を紙幣の搬送先としていたが、識別部１１３が取得した紙幣情報でもよい。この場合、制御部１１１は、紙幣番号モードにおいて、取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣番号に関連付けられた紙幣情報を記憶部１１８から抽出し、この紙幣情報に基づいて紙幣の搬送先を決定する。通常モード時に紙幣の搬送先決定に用いられた紙幣情報と同じ紙幣情報に基づいて紙幣の搬送先を決定するため、通常モードと紙幣番号モードとで、各紙幣を同じ集積部に集積することができる。 In the above embodiment, the classification information associated with the banknote number is used as the banknote transport destination, but banknote information acquired by the identification unit 113 may be used. In this case, in the banknote number mode, the control unit 111 extracts banknote information associated with the banknote number of the captured banknote from the storage unit 118 and determines a banknote transport destination based on the banknote information. In order to determine the banknote transport destination based on the same banknote information as the banknote information used to determine the banknote transport destination in the normal mode, the banknotes can be stacked in the same stacking unit in the normal mode and banknote number mode. it can.
　また、上記実施形態において、計数結果の確定した取引分の紙幣について、紙幣番号及びこれに関連付けられた分類情報を記憶部１１８に記憶するようにしてもよい。例えば、１取引分の紙幣の計数結果の確定前は、紙幣番号及び分類情報をキャッシュメモリやメインメモリ等の一次記憶装置に記憶しておき、確定後はＨＤＤやフラッシュメモリ等の二次記憶装置に記憶する。障害発生の検知に伴い、一次記憶装置内の処理途中の取引分の紙幣番号及び分類情報は消去し、二次記憶装置に記憶されている情報を取り出して一次記憶装置に書き込む。このようにすることで、計数結果の確定した取引分の紙幣について、障害発生前と同じ分類状態を再現することができる。 Further, in the above embodiment, the banknote number and the classification information associated therewith may be stored in the storage unit 118 for the banknote for the transaction for which the counting result is confirmed. For example, banknote numbers and classification information are stored in a primary storage device such as a cache memory or a main memory before the counting result of banknotes for one transaction is confirmed, and a secondary storage device such as an HDD or a flash memory after the determination. To remember. Accompanying the detection of the failure occurrence, the banknote number and the classification information for the transaction being processed in the primary storage device are erased, and the information stored in the secondary storage device is taken out and written into the primary storage device. By doing in this way, about the banknote for the transaction for which the counting result was fixed, the same classification state as before failure occurrence can be reproduced.
　上記実施形態では、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されていない場合、制御部１１１が、ステップＳ２０４で取得された紙幣情報に基づいて、紙幣の搬送先を決定していたが、紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されていない紙幣はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂへ搬送するようにしてもよい。 In the said embodiment, when the banknote number same as the banknote number acquired by step S204 is not memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 118, the control part 111 selects the conveyance destination of a banknote based on the banknote information acquired by step S204. Although determined, banknotes whose banknote numbers are not stored in the storage unit 118 may be conveyed to the reject units 102a and 102b.
　また、障害検知部１１６により障害発生が検知された時に計数結果の確定していない（処理途中の）取引分の紙幣が集積されている集積部を報知する報知部を設けてもよい。未確定の取引分の紙幣が集積されていない集積部については、紙幣の取り出し・再投入は不要である。そのため、報知された集積部のみから紙幣を取り出して再投入すればよく、復旧処理を速やかに行うことができる。個別表示部１０７ａ～１０７ｄが報知部の機能を持つようにしてもよい。 Further, when a failure occurrence is detected by the failure detection unit 116, a notification unit for notifying a stacking unit in which banknotes for transactions for which the counting result is not confirmed (during processing) is stacked may be provided. For stacking units where banknotes for unconfirmed transactions are not stacked, it is not necessary to take out and re-insert banknotes. Therefore, it is only necessary to take out banknotes from only the notified stacking unit and insert them again, and the recovery process can be performed quickly. The individual display units 107a to 107d may have a notification unit function.
　図６は変形例による紙幣処理装置４００の概略構成を示している。紙幣処理装置４００は、受入部４０１、搬送部４０２、識別部４０３ａ、取得部４０３ｂ、反転機構４０４、リジェクト部４０５ａ、４０５ｂ、４０５ｃ、外部スタッカ４０６ａ～４０６ｆ、集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃ、束搬送部４０８、端数紙幣返却部４０９、紙幣結束部４１０、結束紙幣収納部４１１、及び制御部４２０を備える。また、紙幣処理装置４００は、図示しない操作表示部を備える。 FIG. 6 shows a schematic configuration of a banknote processing apparatus 400 according to a modification. The banknote processing apparatus 400 includes a receiving unit 401, a transport unit 402, an identification unit 403a, an acquisition unit 403b, a reversing mechanism 404, reject units 405a, 405b, and 405c, external stackers 406a to 406f, stacking units 407a to 407c, and a bundle transport unit 408. , A fractional bill return unit 409, a bill binding unit 410, a bundled bill storage unit 411, and a control unit 420. Moreover, the banknote processing apparatus 400 is provided with the operation display part which is not shown in figure.
　受入部４０１は、ユーザによって載置された紙幣を１枚ずつ紙幣処理装置４００の筐体の内部に取り込むようになっている。 The receiving unit 401 is configured to take in banknotes placed by the user one by one into the housing of the banknote handling apparatus 400.
　搬送部４０２は、紙幣処理装置４００の筐体の内部に設けられており、受入部４０１によって取り込まれた紙幣を搬送する。搬送部４０２は制御部４２０に従って紙幣の搬送を行う。 The transport unit 402 is provided inside the housing of the banknote processing apparatus 400 and transports banknotes taken in by the receiving unit 401. The transport unit 402 transports banknotes according to the control unit 420.
　この搬送部４０２は例えば、ベルト搬送機構が組み合わされたものからなる。ベルト搬送機構は、一対または３以上のローラおよび各ローラに張架された例えばゴムベルトから構成されている。 The transport unit 402 is composed of a combination of a belt transport mechanism, for example. The belt conveyance mechanism is composed of a pair or three or more rollers and, for example, a rubber belt stretched around each roller.
　識別部４０３ａは、搬送部４０２に介設されており、搬送部４０２によって搬送される紙幣の通貨、金種、真偽、正損、方向、新旧等を判別し、紙幣情報を取得する。取得部４０３ｂは、搬送部４０２によって搬送される紙幣の紙幣番号を取得する。 The identification unit 403a is interposed in the transport unit 402, and determines the currency, denomination, authenticity, correctness, direction, old and new, etc. of the banknotes transported by the transport unit 402, and acquires banknote information. The acquisition unit 403b acquires the banknote number of the banknote transported by the transport unit 402.
　搬送部４０２は識別部４０３ａの先で分岐されており、識別部４０３ａの識別結果に応じてリジェクト紙幣はリジェクト部４０５ａ、４０５ｂへ搬送され、集積される。リジェクト部４０５ａ、４０５ｂにはリジェクト紙幣がリジェクト要因別に搬送される。 The conveyance unit 402 is branched at the tip of the identification unit 403a, and the rejected banknotes are conveyed to the rejection units 405a and 405b according to the identification result of the identification unit 403a and accumulated. Rejected banknotes are conveyed to the reject units 405a and 405b according to rejection factors.
　一方、リジェクト紙幣でない紙幣は反転機構４０４において、識別部４０３ａによる表裏判定結果に応じて、すべての紙幣の表裏面が一致するように表裏反転される。表裏面が一致するように表裏反転された紙幣のうち、結束対象でない紙幣は識別部４０３ａにより判定された紙幣情報に基づいて外部スタッカ４０６ａ～４０６ｆのいずれかに集積される。結束対象の紙幣や、外部スタッカ４０６ａ～４０６ｆに割り当てられている集積紙幣の種類は予め設定されている。 On the other hand, banknotes that are not reject banknotes are reversed by the reversing mechanism 404 so that the front and back surfaces of all banknotes coincide with each other according to the front / back determination result by the identification unit 403a. Of the banknotes that have been reversed so that the front and back sides coincide, the banknotes that are not to be bound are accumulated in one of the external stackers 406a to 406f based on the banknote information determined by the identification unit 403a. The types of banknotes to be bound and stacked banknotes assigned to the external stackers 406a to 406f are set in advance.
　結束対象紙幣は集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃのいずれかへ搬送される。集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃの各々の紙幣受入口には、搬送されてきた紙幣の枚数を検出するセンサ（図示せず）が設けられており、このセンサは集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃに集積されている紙幣の枚数を制御部４２０へ出力する。集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃの集積枚数が所定枚数に達すると、束搬送部４０８が当該集積部に集積されている紙幣束を取り出し、紙幣結束部４１０へ搬送する。 Bundled banknotes are conveyed to any of the stacking units 407a to 407c. Sensors (not shown) for detecting the number of conveyed banknotes are provided at the banknote receiving ports of the stacking units 407a to 407c. These sensors are stacked in the stacking units 407a to 407c. Is output to the control unit 420. When the number of stacked sheets in the stacking sections 407a to 407c reaches a predetermined number, the bundle transport section 408 takes out the banknote bundles stacked in the stacking section and transports them to the banknote binding section 410.
　集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃのうち、いずれか１つは紙幣が搬送されないように、つまり空になるように設定されている。束搬送部４０８が集積部から紙幣束を取り出している時、当該集積部は紙幣を受け入れることができないため、空になっている集積部へ搬送され、集積される。 Any one of the stacking units 407a to 407c is set so that banknotes are not conveyed, that is, empty. When the bundle transport unit 408 takes out the banknote bundle from the stacking unit, the stacking unit cannot accept banknotes, and therefore is transported and stacked to an empty stacking unit.
　紙幣結束部４１０へ搬送された紙幣束は、帯封処理され、結束紙幣収納部４１１に収納される。 The banknote bundle conveyed to the banknote binding section 410 is band-sealed and stored in the binding banknote storage section 411.
　また、束搬送部４０８は集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃ内の端数紙幣を端数紙幣返却部４０９へ搬送することができる。端数紙幣返却部４０９は例えばオープンポケットである。 Also, the bundle transport unit 408 can transport the fractional banknotes in the stacking units 407a to 407c to the fractional banknote return unit 409. The fractional banknote return unit 409 is, for example, an open pocket.
　上記実施形態と同様に、制御部４２０は、通常モードにおいて、紙幣番号と紙幣の分類情報（紙幣の搬送先又は紙幣情報）とを関連付けて記憶部（図示せず）に記憶させる。 In the normal mode, the control unit 420 associates the banknote number with the banknote classification information (banknote transport destination or banknote information) and stores it in the storage unit (not shown) as in the above embodiment.
　障害検知部（図示せず）により障害発生が検知されると、制御部４２０は受入部４０１による紙幣の取り込み及び搬送部４０２による紙幣の搬送を停止させる。そして、ユーザは外部スタッカ４０６ａ～４０６ｆに集積されている紙幣や搬送路上の紙幣を取り出し、受入部４０１に再投入する。また、集積部４０７ａ～４０７ｃに集積されている紙幣をリジェクト部４０５ｃから返却して、受入部４０１に再投入する。紙幣結束部４１０により結束された紙幣は、再投入せず、結束紙幣の計数結果については仮確定としておく。 When the occurrence of a failure is detected by a failure detection unit (not shown), the control unit 420 stops taking in the banknote by the receiving unit 401 and transporting the banknote by the transport unit 402. Then, the user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the external stackers 406a to 406f and the banknotes on the transport path, and re-inserts them into the receiving unit 401. Also, the banknotes accumulated in the accumulating units 407a to 407c are returned from the reject unit 405c and reinserted into the receiving unit 401. The banknotes bound by the banknote binding unit 410 are not re-inserted, and the counting result of the bound banknotes is provisionally determined.
　制御部４２０は、紙幣番号モードを実行し、受入部４０１が取り込んだ紙幣の紙幣番号を用いて記憶部を検索し、この紙幣番号に関連付けられている分類情報を抽出し、抽出した分類情報に基づいて紙幣の搬送先を決定する。 The control unit 420 executes the banknote number mode, searches the storage unit using the banknote number of the banknote received by the receiving unit 401, extracts the classification information associated with the banknote number, and extracts the extracted classification information. Based on this, the bill transport destination is determined.
　これにより、各紙幣は、障害発生前と障害復旧処理後とで、同じ外部スタッカ４０６ａ～４０６ｆに集積することができ、障害発生前と同じ分類状態を再現することができる。 Thus, each banknote can be accumulated in the same external stacker 406a to 406f before and after the failure recovery process, and the same classification state as before the failure occurs can be reproduced.
　上記実施形態は、主に障害復旧処理について説明したが、本発明の実施形態は障害復旧処理に限定されるものではない。例えば、紙幣処理装置で分類処理した紙幣を再度分類処理する場合であって、最初の分類処理と同じ分類状態を再現する必要が生じた場合に、本発明を実施できる。最初の分類処理を通常モードで処理し、２回目の分類処理を紙幣番号モードで処理することにより、最初の分類処理と２回目の分類処理とで、同じ分類状態を再現することができる。 Although the above embodiment has mainly described the failure recovery processing, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the failure recovery processing. For example, the present invention can be implemented when it is necessary to re-classify the banknotes that have been subjected to the classification process by the banknote processing apparatus and when it is necessary to reproduce the same classification state as the first classification process. By processing the first classification process in the normal mode and the second classification process in the banknote number mode, the same classification state can be reproduced in the first classification process and the second classification process.
　また、上記実施形態における紙幣番号モードでの紙幣処理を、入金キャンセル処理に適応してもよい。 In addition, the banknote processing in the banknote number mode in the above embodiment may be applied to the deposit cancellation process.
　入金処理では、１取引分の紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込み、各紙幣の紙幣番号及び紙幣情報を取得し、紙幣情報に基づいて紙幣の搬送先を決定し、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ又はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに集積する。１取引分の紙幣が全て取り込まれると、計数結果が表示部１０４に表示され、ユーザが確定指示を入力すると、計数結果が確定するとともに、各紙幣の紙幣番号と分類情報（紙幣の搬送先）とが関連付けられて、記憶部１１８に記憶される。 In the deposit process, banknotes for one transaction are fetched one by one, the banknote number and banknote information of each banknote are acquired, the banknote transport destination is determined based on the banknote information, and the stacking units 106a to 106d or the reject unit 102a, It accumulates in 102b. When all banknotes for one transaction are captured, the counting result is displayed on the display unit 104. When the user inputs a confirmation instruction, the counting result is confirmed, and the banknote number and classification information of each banknote (banknote transport destination). And are stored in the storage unit 118.
　そして、新規の入金取引分の紙幣がある場合は、確定した前回取引分の紙幣が集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに集積された（残された）状態で、新規の入金取引分の紙幣が連続して処理される。 If there are banknotes for new deposit transactions, the banknotes for new deposit transactions are continuously recorded in a state in which the banknotes for the previous transaction confirmed are accumulated (remaining) in the accumulating units 106a to 106d. It is processed.
　この新規の入金取引分の紙幣についても、同様の入金処理が行われる。そして、表示部１０４に表示された計数結果をユーザが受け入れずに、入金をキャンセルする場合、キャンセル処理を行う。計数結果が確定していないため、入金キャンセル取引分の紙幣の紙幣番号は、記憶部１１８に記憶されていない。図７に示すフローチャートを用いてキャンセル処理について説明する。 The same deposit process is performed for the bills for this new deposit transaction. When the user cancels the payment without accepting the counting result displayed on the display unit 104, a cancel process is performed. Since the counting result is not fixed, the banknote numbers of the banknotes for the deposit cancellation transaction are not stored in the storage unit 118. The cancellation process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
　（ステップＳ３０１）ユーザが、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ（及びリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂ）に集積されている紙幣を取り出す。 (Step S301) The user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the accumulating units 106a to 106d (and the rejecting units 102a and 102b).
　（ステップＳ３０２）ステップＳ３０１で取り出した紙幣を受入部１０１に再投入する。 (Step S302) The banknote taken out in Step S301 is re-inserted into the receiving unit 101.
　（ステップＳ３０３）受入部１０１が紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込む。 (Step S303) The receiving unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.
　（ステップＳ３０４）取得部１１２が、取り込まれた紙幣の紙幣番号を取得する。 (Step S304) The acquisition unit 112 acquires the banknote number of the captured banknote.
　（ステップＳ３０５）制御部１１１がステップＳ３０４で取得された紙幣番号を用いて記憶部１１８を検索する。 (Step S305) The control unit 111 searches the storage unit 118 using the banknote number acquired in step S304.
　（ステップＳ３０６）ステップＳ３０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されている場合はステップＳ３０７へ進み、記憶されていない場合はステップＳ３０８へ進む。ここで、ステップＳ３０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号が記憶部１１８に記憶されていない紙幣とは、入金がキャンセルされた取引分の紙幣である。 (Step S306) If the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S304 is stored in the storage unit 118, the process proceeds to step S307. If not stored, the process proceeds to step S308. Here, the banknote in which the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S304 is not stored in the storage unit 118 is a banknote for a transaction in which the deposit is canceled.
　（ステップＳ３０７）制御部１１１は、ステップＳ３０４で取得された紙幣番号と同じ紙幣番号に関連付けられている分類情報（紙幣の搬送先）を記憶部１１８から抽出する。制御部１１１は、抽出した紙幣の搬送先を、取り込まれた紙幣の搬送先として決定する。 (Step S307) The control unit 111 extracts, from the storage unit 118, classification information (banknote transport destination) associated with the same banknote number as that acquired in step S304. The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of the extracted banknote as a conveyance destination of the taken-in banknote.
　（ステップＳ３０８）制御部１１１が、取り込まれた紙幣の搬送先をリジェクト部１０２ａ又は１０２ｂに決定する。 (Step S308) The control unit 111 determines the transport destination of the fetched banknote as the reject unit 102a or 102b.
　（ステップＳ３０９）紙幣が集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ又はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに分類集積される。 (Step S309) The banknotes are classified and accumulated in the accumulating units 106a to 106d or the rejecting units 102a and 102b.
　（ステップＳ３１０）受入部１０１に再投入された紙幣を全て取り込んだ場合はキャンセル処理を終了し、受入部１０１に紙幣が残っている場合はステップＳ３０３に戻る。 (Step S310) When all the banknotes re-inserted into the receiving unit 101 are taken in, the canceling process is terminated, and when banknotes remain in the receiving unit 101, the process returns to Step S303.
　これにより、入金キャンセル取引分の紙幣は全てリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに搬送されるとともに、入金が確定している前回取引分の紙幣は、キャンセル処理の実行前に集積されていた集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄへ搬送される。このようにして、入金をキャンセルした場合に、入金キャンセル取引分の紙幣と同じ紙幣（現物の紙幣）を、入金確定済の取引分の紙幣と分離して抽出することができる。 Thereby, all the banknotes for the deposit cancellation transaction are transported to the reject units 102a and 102b, and the banknotes for the previous transaction for which the deposit has been confirmed are stacked before the execution of the cancellation process. It is conveyed to. In this way, when the deposit is canceled, the same banknote (the actual banknote) as the banknote for the deposit cancellation transaction can be extracted separately from the banknote for the transaction whose deposit has been confirmed.
　また、上記実施形態における紙幣番号モードでの紙幣処理を利用して、入金確定済の過去の取引分について入金をキャンセルするとともに、この取引に含まれる紙幣を分離抽出することもできる。この場合、入金処理において、各取引に対し、取引を一意に特定できる取引ＩＤを付与する。取引ＩＤはユーザが入力してもよいし、紙幣処理装置が自動的に付与してもよい。 In addition, using the banknote processing in the banknote number mode in the above embodiment, it is possible to cancel the deposit for the past transaction for which the deposit has been confirmed, and to separate and extract the banknote included in this transaction. In this case, in the deposit process, a transaction ID that can uniquely identify the transaction is given to each transaction. The transaction ID may be input by the user or may be automatically given by the banknote processing apparatus.
　入金処理では、１取引分の紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込み、各紙幣の紙幣番号及び紙幣情報を取得し、紙幣情報に基づいて紙幣の搬送先を決定し、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ又はリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに集積する。また、取引ＩＤと、各紙幣の紙幣番号と、分類情報（紙幣の搬送先）とが関連付けられて、記憶部１１８に記憶される。１取引分の紙幣が全て取り込まれると、計数結果が表示部１０４に表示され、ユーザが確定指示を入力すると、計数結果が確定する。 In the deposit process, banknotes for one transaction are fetched one by one, the banknote number and banknote information of each banknote are acquired, the banknote transport destination is determined based on the banknote information, and the stacking units 106a to 106d or the reject unit 102a, It accumulates in 102b. Moreover, transaction ID, the banknote number of each banknote, and classification | category information (banknote conveyance destination) are linked | related and memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 118. FIG. When all banknotes for one transaction are taken in, the counting result is displayed on the display unit 104, and when the user inputs a confirmation instruction, the counting result is confirmed.
　そして、新規の入金取引分の紙幣がある場合は、確定した前回取引分の紙幣が集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄに集積された（残された）状態で、新規の入金取引分の紙幣が連続して処理される。複数の取引分の入金処理を行った後、確定済の過去の取引分について入金キャンセル処理を行う方法を、図８に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。 If there are banknotes for new deposit transactions, the banknotes for new deposit transactions are continuously recorded in a state in which the banknotes for the previous transaction confirmed are accumulated (remaining) in the accumulating units 106a to 106d. It is processed. A method of performing deposit cancellation processing for past transactions that have been confirmed after performing deposit processing for a plurality of transactions will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG.
　（ステップＳ４０１）ユーザが、入金をキャンセルする取引の取引ＩＤを入力する。取引ＩＤの入力は、ユーザが操作部１０３から行ってもよいし、キャンセルする取引の候補となる取引ＩＤを表示し、その中からユーザが選択してもよい。 (Step S401) The user inputs a transaction ID of a transaction for canceling the deposit. The transaction ID may be input from the operation unit 103 by the user, or a transaction ID that is a candidate for the transaction to be canceled is displayed, and the user may select the transaction ID.
　（ステップＳ４０２）ユーザが、集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄ（及びリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂ）に集積されている紙幣を取り出す。 (Step S402) The user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the accumulating units 106a to 106d (and the rejecting units 102a and 102b).

　（ステップＳ４１１）受入部１０１に再投入された紙幣を全て取り込んだ場合はキャンセル処理を終了し、受入部１０１に紙幣が残っている場合はステップＳ４０４に戻る。 (Step S411) When all the banknotes re-inserted into the receiving unit 101 are taken in, the canceling process is terminated, and when banknotes remain in the receiving unit 101, the process returns to Step S404.
　これにより、入金キャンセル取引分の紙幣は全てリジェクト部１０２ａ、１０２ｂに搬送されるとともに、それ以外の紙幣は、キャンセル処理の実行前に集積されていた集積部１０６ａ～１０６ｄへ搬送される。このようにして、入金キャンセル取引分の紙幣と同じ紙幣（現物の紙幣）を、その他の取引分の紙幣と分離して抽出することができる。また、取引ＩＤを用いることで、過去の取引分の紙幣についても入金キャンセル処理を行うことができる。 Thus, all the banknotes for the deposit cancellation transaction are conveyed to the reject units 102a and 102b, and other banknotes are conveyed to the accumulating units 106a to 106d accumulated before the execution of the canceling process. In this way, the same banknote (the actual banknote) as the banknote for the deposit cancellation transaction can be extracted separately from the banknotes for other transactions. Moreover, a payment cancellation process can be performed also about the banknote for the past transaction by using transaction ID.
