　本発明は紙葉類処理装置、及び紙葉類処理方法に関し、例えば、紙幣を金種別などに分類して計数し、計数した分類紙幣をそれぞれ一時集積部に集積し、一定枚数毎に結束して整理する紙幣結束整理装置に適用し得るものである。 The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing apparatus and a paper sheet processing method.For example, banknotes are classified into money types and counted, and the classified banknotes are each collected in a temporary stacking unit and bundled at a certain number. The present invention can be applied to a banknote bundling and organizing apparatus that organizes and organizes them.
　金融機関の本支店や大型小売店等の１日に多くの紙幣を取り扱う店舗において、紙幣結束整理装置が導入され、精査時等に回収した紙幣を一定枚数毎に束ねて整理することが行われている。また、複数の本支店や小売店から紙幣を回収するセンタにおいて、紙幣結束整理装置が導入され、各店舗から回収した紙幣を一定枚数毎に束ねて整理することが行われている。 In stores that handle a large number of banknotes in a day such as a main branch of a financial institution or a large retail store, a banknote bundling and organizing device has been introduced, and banknotes collected at the time of scrutiny, etc. are bundled and arranged at regular intervals. ing. In addition, in a center that collects banknotes from a plurality of main branches and retail stores, a banknote bundling and organizing device is introduced, and banknotes collected from each store are bundled and arranged every predetermined number.
　従来の紙幣結束整理装置としては、特開２０１１－１１３１５２号公報（特許文献１）の記載技術がある。従来の紙幣結束整理装置において、投入部にセットされた多数枚の紙幣は、１枚ずつ鑑別部に搬送されて、金種や、正券又は損券等の鑑別が実行され、オペレータによる予めの指定に基づいて、複数の一時集積部に分別されて集積される。そして、従来の紙幣結束整理装置では、一次集積部で集積枚数が所定枚数に達すると、その所定枚数の紙幣が紙テープ等の結束材により束ねられて放出される。なお、以下では、結束された後の紙幣を「紙幣束」と呼び、結束される前の紙幣を「結束対象紙幣」と呼ぶものとする。 As a conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, there is a technology described in JP2011-113152A (Patent Document 1). In the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, a large number of banknotes set in the input unit are conveyed one by one to the discrimination unit, and discrimination of denominations, correct bills or damaged bills is performed, Based on the designation, it is sorted and collected into a plurality of temporary stacking units. In the conventional banknote bundling apparatus, when the number of stacked sheets reaches a predetermined number in the primary stacking unit, the predetermined number of banknotes are bundled and released by a binding material such as a paper tape. Hereinafter, the banknotes after being bundled are referred to as “banknote bundles”, and the banknotes before being bundled are referred to as “bound banknotes”.
　また、特許文献１に記載された紙幣結束整理装置では、紙幣の傷みが激しく紙幣発行銀行に返却することが好ましい状態の紙幣（以下、「損券」と呼ぶ）と、損券と言えるほどの痛みではない紙幣（以下、「正券」と呼ぶ）とを鑑別し、正券のみを結束対象紙幣として取り扱っている。 Moreover, in the banknote bundling arrangement device described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to say that the banknotes are in a state in which the banknotes are severely damaged and are preferably returned to the banknote issuing bank (hereinafter referred to as “non-performing”). Banknotes that are not pain (hereinafter referred to as “correct bills”) are identified, and only correct bills are handled as bundled bills.
　また、従来の紙幣結束整理装置では、正券について、さらに細分化して痛みの程度に応じてランク分けするものが存在する。例えば、従来の紙幣結束整理装置では、ＡＴＭ／ＣＤなどに代表される自動入出金機での利用に耐え得る比較的程度の良い（痛みの少ない）紙幣をＡＴＭ券（ＡＴＭ－ＦＩＴ券）とし、それ以外の正券を流通券として取り扱うものがある。また、従来の紙幣結束整理装置では、紙幣の汚損状態、破損状態等の様々な検査項目（以下、単に「検査項目」とも呼ぶ）に基づいて鑑別を行っている。 Also, in the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, there are those that further subdivide the genuine bills and rank them according to the degree of pain. For example, in a conventional banknote bundling and organizing device, a relatively good (less painful) banknote that can withstand use in an automatic depositing and dispensing machine represented by ATM / CD is an ATM ticket (ATM-FIT ticket), There are some that handle other regular tickets as circulation tickets. Further, in the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, discrimination is performed based on various inspection items (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “inspection items”) such as a banknote's fouling state and breakage state.
　ところで、従来の紙幣結束整理装置を利用するユーザでは、紙幣結束整理装置を利用する際に投入される紙幣の状態や、結束対象紙幣の利用目的に応じて、ユーザ側のオペレータにより紙幣のランク分け（分類）の基準を細かく調整したいという要望がある。しかしながら、従来の紙幣結束整理装置では、多数の紙幣検査項目が設定されているため、オペレータ自身が容易に調整をすることが難しいという問題があった。 By the way, in the user who uses the conventional banknote bundling arrangement device, the rank of the banknotes is classified by the operator on the user side according to the state of the banknotes inserted when using the banknote bundling arrangement apparatus or the purpose of use of the banknotes to be bound. There is a demand to finely adjust the (classification) criteria. However, in the conventional banknote bundling and organizing apparatus, since a large number of banknote inspection items are set, there is a problem that it is difficult for the operator to make adjustments easily.
　そのため、紙葉類（例えば、紙幣）の状態に応じた分類を行う際に、分類のための検査項目のそれぞれについて、オペレータが容易に調整することができる紙葉類処理装置、及びプログラムが望まれている。 Therefore, when performing classification according to the state of paper sheets (for example, banknotes), a paper sheet processing apparatus and a program that can be easily adjusted by an operator for each inspection item for classification are desired. It is rare.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of the banknote bundling organizer of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is an enlarged plan view showing the operation unit 7 in FIG. The same and corresponding parts are denoted by the same and corresponding reference numerals in addition to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, reference numerals in parentheses are used only in a second embodiment to be described later.
　この実施形態に係る紙幣結束整理装置１００の正面上部には、紙幣の投入部１が設けられている。鑑別部２は、装置内に設けられており、投入部１から投入された紙幣の真偽（真券、偽券）、金種、正損（正券、損券）、表裏、折れ券（折れ券であるか否か／折れ部分を含むか否か）等の鑑別や計数を行うと共に、搬送異常の検出を行うものである。鑑別された紙幣を搬送する搬送路３の詳細については、後述する。 A bill insertion unit 1 is provided on the front upper part of the bill bundling device 100 according to this embodiment. The discriminating unit 2 is provided in the apparatus. The authenticity (genuine bill, fake ticket), denomination, correctness (correct ticket, non-conformity ticket), front and back, folded ticket ( Whether or not it is a folded ticket / whether it includes a folded portion) or the like is detected, and a conveyance abnormality is detected. The detail of the conveyance path 3 which conveys the identified banknote is mentioned later.
　表裏反転部４は、鑑別部２の後段に位置するように設けられており、後述する制御部５０の制御下で、紙幣の表裏反転を行うものである。 The front / back reversing unit 4 is provided so as to be located at the rear stage of the discrimination unit 2, and performs the front / back reversal of banknotes under the control of the control unit 50 described later.
　２つのオープンポケット５ａ、５ｂは、装置の上面に設けられており、後述する制御部５０の制御下で、紙幣（例えば、結束対象外の券種の紙幣）がこのオープンポケット５ａ、５ｂへ排出される。オープンポケット５ａ、５ｂに集積された紙幣は、オペレータが直接アクセスできるものとなっている。 The two open pockets 5a and 5b are provided on the upper surface of the apparatus, and banknotes (for example, banknotes of non-bundling type) are discharged into the open pockets 5a and 5b under the control of the control unit 50 described later. Is done. The banknotes accumulated in the open pockets 5a and 5b can be directly accessed by the operator.
　リジェクトポケット８は、基本的に、鑑別部２でリジェクト紙幣と鑑別された紙幣を集積することに用いられるものである。この実施形態の場合、後述する制御部５０の制御下で、リジェクト紙幣のうち、上述したオープンポケット５ａ、５ｂや一時集積部６１への排出対象外のリジェクト紙幣がリジェクトポケット８に排出される。リジェクトポケット８は、例えば、投入部１の上方に設けられており、このリジェクトポケット８に集積された紙幣にオペレータが直接アクセスできるものとなっている。なお、リジェクトポケット８は、リジェクト紙幣以外の紙幣を集積することに用いるようにしてもよいことは当然である。 The reject pocket 8 is basically used for accumulating the banknotes discriminated from the reject banknotes by the discrimination unit 2. In the case of this embodiment, under the control of the control unit 50 which will be described later, of the reject banknotes, the reject banknotes that are not to be discharged to the open pockets 5a and 5b and the temporary stacking unit 61 are discharged into the reject pocket 8. The reject pocket 8 is provided, for example, above the input unit 1, and the operator can directly access the banknotes accumulated in the reject pocket 8. Of course, the reject pocket 8 may be used for stacking banknotes other than reject banknotes.
　リジェクトポケット８に排出可能な上限数は、あらかじめ設定された設定枚数（例えば、１９０枚）に定められている。これは、リジェクトポケット８から排出されたリジェクト紙幣が所定枚数を超えると、リジェクトポケット８から紙幣がこぼれて装置外に落ちる恐れがあるためである。例えば、リジェクトポケット８に集積された紙幣が設定枚数に達したときには、制御部５０は紙幣の投入を一時停止させ、リジェクトポケット８から紙幣の除去をオペレータに求めるメッセージを表示させるようにしてもよい。 The upper limit number that can be discharged to the reject pocket 8 is set to a preset number (for example, 190). This is because if the number of rejected banknotes discharged from the reject pocket 8 exceeds a predetermined number, the banknotes may spill out of the reject pocket 8 and fall out of the apparatus. For example, when the banknotes accumulated in the reject pocket 8 reach the set number, the control unit 50 may temporarily stop the insertion of the banknotes and display a message requesting the operator to remove the banknotes from the reject pocket 8. .
　操作部７は、投入部１の一側（図示のものは右側）に設けられている。この操作部７には、紙幣の計数を指示する計数開始ボタン７ａ、計数及び結束処理の完了を指示する完了ボタン７ｂ、装置の障害復旧時に装置を再稼働させるためのリセットボタン７ｃなどが設けられている。 The operation unit 7 is provided on one side of the input unit 1 (right side in the figure). The operation unit 7 is provided with a counting start button 7a for instructing counting of banknotes, a completion button 7b for instructing completion of counting and bundling processing, a reset button 7c for restarting the apparatus when the apparatus is recovered from a failure, and the like. ing.
　操作表示部１３は、装置上面においてオープンポケット５ａの後方に位置するように設けられている。操作表示部１３は、液晶ディスプレイとその表面に配置されたタッチパネルによって構成されている。オペレータは、この操作表示部１３を操作して、モードの指定や、後述する一時集積部６１に集積する紙幣の金種等を設定できるようになされている。また、この操作表示部１３には、後述する制御部５０の制御下で、鑑別部２で鑑別された紙幣の金種、計数結果等が表示される。 The operation display unit 13 is provided on the upper surface of the apparatus so as to be located behind the open pocket 5a. The operation display unit 13 includes a liquid crystal display and a touch panel disposed on the surface thereof. The operator can operate the operation display unit 13 to specify a mode and set a denomination of banknotes to be accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 61 described later. The operation display unit 13 displays the denominations of the banknotes identified by the discrimination unit 2 and the counting results under the control of the control unit 50 described later.
　この実施形態の場合、としての集積機構６には、上下方向に１列に５つの一時集積部６１（６１ａ～６１ｅ）が並べられて装置内に設けられている。各一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅにはそれぞれ、後述する制御部５０の制御下で、予め定められた枚数（例えば１００枚）を上限とした指定種類の紙幣が集積できるようになっている。なお、一時集積部の数は５つに限定されるものではない。 In the case of this embodiment, the stacking mechanism 6 is provided with five temporary stacking units 61 (61a to 61e) arranged in a line in the vertical direction in the apparatus. Each of the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e can stack specified types of banknotes with an upper limit of a predetermined number (for example, 100) under the control of the control unit 50 described later. Note that the number of temporary stacking units is not limited to five.
　移送機構９は、一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅの集積紙幣を紙幣結束機構１０に移送するものである。紙幣結束機構１０は、移送されてきた集積紙幣を紙テープ等の結束材により束ねるものである。移送機構９及び紙幣結束機構１０は、両者とも装置内に設けられている。移送機構９及び紙幣結束機構１０の詳細については後述する。放出口１１は、紙幣結束機構１０の結束により形成された紙幣束を放出させる開口である。放出口１１の上部の装置正面に設けられた扉１２は、開けることで、オペレータが集積機構６にアクセスできるものとなっている。 The transfer mechanism 9 is for transferring the stacked banknotes of the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e to the banknote binding mechanism 10. The banknote binding mechanism 10 binds the transferred stacked banknotes with a binding material such as paper tape. Both the transfer mechanism 9 and the banknote bundling mechanism 10 are provided in the apparatus. Details of the transfer mechanism 9 and the banknote bundling mechanism 10 will be described later. The discharge port 11 is an opening for discharging a banknote bundle formed by binding of the banknote binding mechanism 10. The door 12 provided in front of the apparatus above the discharge port 11 is opened so that the operator can access the stacking mechanism 6.
　次に、搬送路３について詳述する。搬送路３は、ローラや搬送ベルトや通過を検知するセンサ、駆動モータ等からなっているが、以下では、紙幣の経路という面から搬送路３を説明する。搬送路３は、図３に示すように、大きくは５つの部分（以下、部分に対しても搬送路と呼ぶこととする）３ａ～３ｅに分かれている。 Next, the conveyance path 3 will be described in detail. The conveyance path 3 includes a roller, a conveyance belt, a sensor that detects passage, a drive motor, and the like. Hereinafter, the conveyance path 3 will be described from the aspect of a banknote path. As shown in FIG. 3, the transport path 3 is roughly divided into five parts (hereinafter also referred to as transport paths) 3a to 3e.
　搬送路３ａは、投入部１から鑑別部２を経て分岐点Ａに至る部分である。従って、投入された全ての紙幣が、搬送路３ａ上を搬送される。搬送路３ｂは、分岐点Ａからリジェクトポケット８に至る部分である。従って、鑑別結果が、リジェクトポケット８に集積させるリジェクト紙幣が、搬送路３ｂ上を搬送される。 The conveyance path 3a is a part that reaches the branch point A from the input unit 1 through the discrimination unit 2. Therefore, all the inserted bills are transported on the transport path 3a. The conveyance path 3 b is a part from the branch point A to the reject pocket 8. Accordingly, reject banknotes whose discrimination results are accumulated in the reject pocket 8 are transported on the transport path 3b.
　搬送路３ｃは、分岐点Ａから分岐点Ｂに至る部分であり、その途中に表裏反転部４が設けられている。搬送路３ｃは、表裏反転部４を通過しないように紙幣を搬送することもできる。表裏反転部４は溝状のものであり、搬送されてきた紙片は、表裏反転部４に一端から挿入され、他端から引き出されることを通じて表裏が反転される。投入された紙幣のうち、リジェクトポケット８に向かった紙幣以外の紙幣が、搬送路３ｃ上を搬送される。搬送路３ｃ上に導入された紙幣のうち、表裏反転が必要と鑑別されたものは、表裏反転部４を経由する。 The conveyance path 3c is a part from the branch point A to the branch point B, and a front / back inversion part 4 is provided in the middle. The conveyance path 3c can also convey banknotes so as not to pass through the front / back reversing unit 4. The front / back reversing part 4 has a groove shape, and the conveyed paper piece is inserted into the front / back reversing part 4 from one end and pulled out from the other end so that the front and back are reversed. Of the inserted banknotes, banknotes other than banknotes facing the reject pocket 8 are transported on the transport path 3c. Of the banknotes introduced on the transport path 3 c, those identified as needing front / back inversion pass through the front / back inversion unit 4.
　搬送路３ｄは、分岐点Ｂから、最下段の一時集積部６１ｅに至る部分である（図２、図３参照）。鑑別部２によって、集積、結束対象と鑑別された紙幣が、搬送路３ｄ上を搬送され、その紙幣が集積されるべき一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅに挿入される。 The conveyance path 3d is a part from the branch point B to the lowest temporary accumulation part 61e (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The banknotes identified as being collected and bound by the discrimination unit 2 are transported on the transport path 3d and inserted into the temporary stacking parts 61a to 61e where the banknotes are to be stacked.
　搬送路３ｅは、分岐点Ｂから分岐点Ｃに至る部分である。そして、搬送路３ｆは、分岐点Ｃからオープンポケット５ａに至る部分である。また、搬送路３ｇは、分岐点Ｃからオープンポケット５ｂに至る部分である。 The conveyance path 3e is a part from the branch point B to the branch point C. And the conveyance path 3f is a part from the branch point C to the open pocket 5a. Moreover, the conveyance path 3g is a part from the branch point C to the open pocket 5b.
　以上のように、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、搬送路３及び鑑別部２等により、オペレータから投入された紙幣を、集積機構６（一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅ）に供給する「紙葉類供給手段」が形成されている。 As described above, in the banknote bundling apparatus 100, the “paper sheet supply means” supplies the banknotes input from the operator to the stacking mechanism 6 (temporary stacking sections 61a to 61e) by the transport path 3, the discrimination section 2, and the like. Is formed.
　なお、搬送路３上の分岐点Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃのそれぞれの近傍には、紙幣の搬送方向を切替える図示しない切替えブレードが設けられ、後述する制御部５０の制御下で切り替えられる。 A switching blade (not shown) for switching the bill conveyance direction is provided in the vicinity of each of the branch points A, B, and C on the conveyance path 3 and is switched under the control of the control unit 50 described later.
　図６は、集積機構６の構成を図２より詳細に示す側面図である。集積機構６には、上述のように、５つの一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅが上下方向に並べて配置されている。これらの一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅは、同一の構造を有しているので、以下では、一時集積部６１ａを例にとって詳細を説明する。 FIG. 6 is a side view showing the configuration of the stacking mechanism 6 in more detail than FIG. In the stacking mechanism 6, as described above, the five temporary stacking portions 61a to 61e are arranged in the vertical direction. Since these temporary stacking units 61a to 61e have the same structure, details will be described below using the temporary stacking unit 61a as an example.
　搬送路３ｄにより搬送されてきた紙幣は、一時集積部６１ａの振り分けゲート２７により集積板２１に向かって取り込まれ、これにより一時集積部６１ａに進入した紙幣は羽根車２０により後部が叩かれて集積板２１の上に集積されるようになされている。以降進入してくる紙幣に関しても、同様の動作で集積板２１上に集積した紙幣の上に集積される。 The banknotes transported by the transport path 3d are taken toward the stacking plate 21 by the sorting gate 27 of the temporary stacking unit 61a, and the banknotes that have entered the temporary stacking unit 61a are hit by the impeller 20 and stacked. It is configured to be accumulated on the plate 21. The banknotes entering thereafter are also stacked on the banknotes stacked on the stacking plate 21 by the same operation.
　一時集積部６１ａに進入した紙幣は、一時集積部６１ａの一側（例えば、図６紙面法線方向の手前側）に設けられた図示しない長手整位手段により、紙幣の長手方向の位置が揃えられ、更に一時集積部６１ａの後端側に設けられた図示しない短手整位手段により短手方向の位置が揃えられる。上述の長手整位機構は、紙幣を反対側に設置された基準面に押しつけることで整位するものとなっている。また、上述の短手整位機構は、集積された紙幣を進入口側に付勢することにより整位するものとなっている。 The banknotes entering the temporary stacking unit 61a are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the banknotes by a longitudinal positioning means (not shown) provided on one side of the temporary stacking unit 61a (for example, the front side in the normal direction of the paper surface of FIG. 6). Further, the position in the short direction is aligned by short positioning means (not shown) provided on the rear end side of the temporary accumulating portion 61a. The above-mentioned longitudinal alignment mechanism aligns the banknotes by pressing them against a reference surface installed on the opposite side. In addition, the short positioning mechanism described above is positioned by biasing the accumulated banknotes toward the entrance side.
　集積板２１上に紙幣が集積して行き、その集積数（後述するカウンタ５１ａ～５１ｅの値）が設定枚数を越えると、集積板２１は自動的に下降して一時集積部６１ａの空間を広げ、この動作により皺や折り目等に起因する紙幣の状態によって集積高さが違っても安定して集積が行えるようになっている。集積板２１の上方には押さえ板２４が対向するように設けられ、この押さえ板２４は集積板２１上への紙幣の集積中は一時集積部６１ａの上端に待機しており、順次取り込まれる紙幣の進入の邪魔にならないようになっている。 When banknotes accumulate on the accumulation plate 21 and the accumulation number (values of counters 51a to 51e described later) exceeds the set number, the accumulation plate 21 automatically descends to widen the space of the temporary accumulation unit 61a. By this operation, the stacking can be stably performed even if the stacking height differs depending on the state of the banknote caused by the wrinkles or folds. A presser plate 24 is provided above the stacking plate 21 so as to face the presser plate 24. The presser plate 24 stands by at the upper end of the temporary stacking unit 61a during stacking of banknotes on the stacking plate 21, and is sequentially taken in So as not to get in the way.
　一時集積部６１ａの集積板２１上に設定枚数の紙幣が集積されると、ゲート振り分け機構２７を紙幣を取り込まない姿勢に動作させ、所定枚数目以降の紙幣は、例えば、他の一時集積部６１ｂ～６１ｅのいずれかへ集積するように制御される。 When a set number of banknotes are stacked on the stacking plate 21 of the temporary stacking unit 61a, the gate sorting mechanism 27 is operated in a posture that does not take in banknotes, and a predetermined number of banknotes are, for example, other temporary stacking units 61b. It is controlled to be accumulated in any one of .about.61e.
　紙幣の進入が停止した一時集積部６１ａでは集積板２１を上昇させ、押さえ板２４を下降させることにより紙幣を挟持する。この動作により皺等の紙幣の状態によって集積高さの異なる紙幣の厚みを一定にし、移送機構９への受渡しを容易にするようになっている。 In the temporary stacking unit 61a where the banknotes have stopped entering, the stacking plate 21 is raised and the presser plate 24 is lowered to hold the banknotes. By this operation, the thicknesses of banknotes having different stacking heights are made constant according to the state of banknotes such as bags, and delivery to the transfer mechanism 9 is facilitated.
　集積板２１と押さえ板２４により挟持された紙幣は、移送機構９の紙幣クランプ部３０（図２参照）が短手整位機構２３側から一時集積部６１ａに進入して引き抜かれるようになっている。 The banknotes clamped by the stacking plate 21 and the pressing plate 24 are pulled out by the banknote clamp unit 30 (see FIG. 2) of the transfer mechanism 9 entering the temporary stacking unit 61a from the short positioning mechanism 23 side. Yes.
　移送機構９は、図２に示すように、紙幣クランプ部３０、クランプ部移動機構３１、上下動機構３２を備えている。移送機構９の構成を、動きを通して明らかにする。 As shown in FIG. 2, the transfer mechanism 9 includes a bill clamp part 30, a clamp part moving mechanism 31, and a vertical movement mechanism 32. The configuration of the transfer mechanism 9 will be clarified through movement.
　一時集積部６１ａに集積された紙幣を引き抜く場合を例に、移送機構９の一連の動きを説明する。上下動機構３２により紙幣クランプ部３０をクランプ部移動機構３１と共に、一時集積部６１ａに係るポジションセンサの位置まで上昇させ、ポジションセンサがクランプ部移動機構３１を検知した位置で上昇を停止させると同時に、図示しない係止手段によりクランプ部移動機構３１を係止し、クランプ部移動機構３１を一時集積部６１ａと対応する位置に固定する。この状態でクランプ移動機構３１により紙幣クランプ部３０のクランプ爪３３ａ、３３ｂを上下方向に開いて集積紙幣をクランプする準備を行い、更にクランプ移動機構３１により紙幣クランプ部３０を一時集積部６１ａの方向に押し出す。押し出された紙幣クランプ機構３０のクランプ爪３３ａ、３３ｂは、一時集積部６１ａの短手整位機構２３側に設けられている開口部に挿入され、集積板２１と押さえ板２４により挟持されている紙幣を上下から挟みつけて把持する。次に、集積板２１と押さえ板２４を開くことで、両者による紙幣の挟持を解除すると、これにより１００枚の紙幣が紙幣クランプ部３０に渡されたことになるので、クランプ爪３３ａ、３３ｂで紙幣を把持した紙幣クランプ部３０をクランプ部移動機構３１により引き戻す。紙幣クランプ部３０が元の位置まで引き戻されると、クランプ部移動機構３１の係止が解除され、紙幣を把持した紙幣クランプ部３０と共にクランプ移動機構３１が上下動機構３２により移動経路の最下端に位置する紙幣結束機構１０まで移動し、紙幣クランプ部３０のクランプ爪３３ａ、３３ｂに把持された紙幣が紙幣結束機構１０に引き渡される。 A series of movements of the transfer mechanism 9 will be described by taking as an example a case where banknotes accumulated in the temporary accumulation unit 61a are pulled out. At the same time as the banknote clamp part 30 is raised to the position of the position sensor related to the temporary stacking part 61 a together with the clamp part moving mechanism 31 by the vertical movement mechanism 32, and the rise is stopped at the position where the position sensor detects the clamp part moving mechanism 31. The clamp part moving mechanism 31 is locked by a locking means (not shown), and the clamp part moving mechanism 31 is fixed at a position corresponding to the temporary stacking part 61a. In this state, the clamp moving mechanism 31 opens the clamp claws 33a and 33b of the banknote clamp part 30 in the vertical direction to prepare to clamp the stacked banknotes, and the clamp moving mechanism 31 moves the banknote clamp part 30 to the temporary stacking part 61a. Extrude into. The clamp claws 33a and 33b of the pushed bill clamp mechanism 30 are inserted into an opening provided on the short positioning mechanism 23 side of the temporary stacking unit 61a and are sandwiched between the stacking plate 21 and the pressing plate 24. Hold the banknotes from above and below. Next, by opening the stacking plate 21 and the holding plate 24 to release the holding of the banknotes by both, 100 banknotes are passed to the banknote clamping unit 30. Therefore, the clamp claws 33a and 33b The banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote is pulled back by the clamp part moving mechanism 31. When the banknote clamp part 30 is pulled back to the original position, the locking of the clamp part moving mechanism 31 is released, and the clamp moving mechanism 31 is moved to the lowermost end of the moving path by the vertical movement mechanism 32 together with the banknote clamp part 30 holding the banknote. The banknote binding mechanism 10 is moved to the position, and the banknotes held by the clamp claws 33 a and 33 b of the banknote clamp unit 30 are delivered to the banknote binding mechanism 10.
　紙幣結束機構１０は、図７の側面図に示すように、ローラ及びベルト等からなる搬送手段４０と、紙テープ等の結束用テープ４１と、印刷手段４２と、テープ４１を供給する供給手段４３と、テープ４１を所定の長さに切断するカッタ４４と、図示しない結束手段を有し、以下のように紙幣を結束する。 As shown in the side view of FIG. 7, the banknote binding mechanism 10 includes a transport means 40 composed of rollers and a belt, a binding tape 41 such as a paper tape, a printing means 42, and a supply means 43 that supplies the tape 41. A cutter 44 for cutting the tape 41 to a predetermined length and a binding means (not shown) are used to bind banknotes as follows.
　搬送手段４０が移送機構９の紙幣クランプ部３０から結束対象の紙幣を一括して受け取り、結束位置に搬送する。テープ供給手段４３は、テープ４１を結束手段に供給し、その際、印刷手段４２は、制御部５０の制御下で、テープ４１に結束する紙幣に係る情報等を印刷する。印刷されたテープ４１は、所定の長さにカッタ４４で切断され、この切断されたテープを結束手段が結束位置に搬送された紙幣に巻き掛けて結束することにより紙幣束を作る。このようにして作られた紙幣束は、更に搬送手段４０により搬送され、放出口１１に送られる。 The transport means 40 collectively receives the banknotes to be bound from the banknote clamp part 30 of the transfer mechanism 9 and transports them to the binding position. The tape supply means 43 supplies the tape 41 to the bundling means, and at that time, the printing means 42 prints information related to the banknotes to be bundled on the tape 41 under the control of the control unit 50. The printed tape 41 is cut to a predetermined length by a cutter 44, and the cut tape is wound around and bundled with the bill conveyed by the bundling means to the bundling position to form a bill bundle. The banknote bundle thus created is further transported by the transport means 40 and sent to the discharge port 11.
　投入部１にセットされた紙幣が全て投入され、最後の紙幣に対する処理（計数、集積）が終了したときに、一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅに結束されていない紙幣が残っていることが多い。このような残った端数の枚数については、上述した扉１２を開けることにより、オペレータが取り出し可能となっている。 When all the banknotes set in the insertion unit 1 are inserted and the processing (counting and stacking) for the last banknote is completed, banknotes that are not bound to the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e often remain. The number of remaining fractions can be taken out by the operator by opening the door 12 described above.
　次に、この実施形態に係る紙幣結束整理装置１００の制御系の構成について図１を用いて説明する。なお、図１において括弧内の符号は、後述する第２の実施形態でのみ用いられる符号である。 Next, the configuration of the control system of the banknote bundling apparatus 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the code | symbol in parenthesis in FIG. 1 is a code | symbol used only in 2nd Embodiment mentioned later.
　図１において、制御部５０は、当該紙幣結束整理装置１００全体の動作制御を行うものである。制御部５０には、Ｉ／Ｏインタフェース回路５１を介して、投入部１の構成要素（モータ、ソレノイドなどの駆動要素や、センサ要素など；図１では「構成要素」の用語を省略している；以下の説明においても「構成要素」の用語を省略する）、鑑別部２、搬送路３、表裏反転部４、集積機構６、操作部７、移送機構９、紙幣結束機構１０、操作表示部１３、カウンタ５１ａ～５１ｅなどが接続されている。 In FIG. 1, the control part 50 performs operation control of the said banknote binding organization apparatus 100 whole. In the control unit 50, the components of the input unit 1 (driving elements such as motors and solenoids, sensor elements, etc .; the term “components” is omitted in FIG. 1 via the I / O interface circuit 51.

　図８に示すように、一次集積部設定情報５２１は、紙幣の種類（金種及び券種の組みあわせ）ごとの集積先（一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅ、オープンポケット５ａ、５ｂのいずれか）を示す情報である。図８に示すように、一次集積部設定情報５２１では、紙幣の種類は、金種及び券種の組み合わせに応じて決定している。 As shown in FIG. 8, the primary stacking unit setting information 521 includes a stacking destination (any one of the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e and the open pockets 5a and 5b) for each type of banknote (combination of denomination and ticket type). Information. As shown in FIG. 8, in the primary stacking unit setting information 521, the type of banknote is determined according to the combination of denomination and ticket type.
　図８において、金種とは、紙幣の額面に応じて決まるものとしている。なお、この実施形態では、紙幣結束整理装置１００は、中華人民共和国（人民元）の６金種の紙幣（１００元紙幣、５０元紙幣、２０元紙幣、１０元紙幣、５元紙幣、１元紙幣）について処理が可能であるものとする。また、図８において、券種とは、紙幣の属性を示すものとする。 In FIG. 8, the denomination is determined according to the face value of the banknote. In this embodiment, the banknote bundling and organizing apparatus 100 is a six-denomination banknote (100 yuan banknote, 50 yuan banknote, 20 yuan banknote, 10 yuan banknote, 5 yuan banknote, 1 yuan) of the People's Republic of China (renminbi). Bills) can be processed. Moreover, in FIG. 8, a bill type shall show the attribute of a banknote.
具体的には、紙幣の券種は、紙幣の真偽、紙幣の傷みの度合い等の項目に基づいて定められるものとする。この実施形態の鑑別部２では、紙幣の傷みの度合いに応じて、ＡＴＭ券、流通券、損券の３段階に判別（分類）されるものとする。　そして、この実施形態の一次集積部設定情報５２１では、券種の項目に設定する内容としては、「無し」（紙幣の券種を限定しない）、「ＡＴＭ券」、「流通券」、「損券」、「ＡＴＭ＋流通」（ＡＴＭ券及び流通券）、「流通＋損」（流通券及び損券）、「真偽ＲＪ」（偽券としてリジェクトすべき紙幣）のいずれかが設定されるものとして説明する。なお、一次集積部設定情報５２１の券種の項目に設定する情報の種類、数、条件の組み合わせについては上述の例に限定されないものである。 Specifically, the bill type of the bill is determined based on items such as the authenticity of the bill and the degree of damage of the bill. In the discrimination part 2 of this embodiment, it shall discriminate | determine (classify | categorize) in three steps, an ATM ticket, a circulation ticket, and a non-use ticket according to the degree of the damage of a banknote. In the primary stacking unit setting information 521 of this embodiment, the contents to be set in the item of ticket type are “none” (not limiting the type of banknote), “ATM ticket”, “distribution ticket”, “loss” "Voucher", "ATM + distribution" (ATM ticket and circulation ticket), "distribution + loss" (distribution ticket and loss ticket), "true / false RJ" (banknote to be rejected as a false ticket) Will be described. The combination of the type, number, and conditions of information set in the ticket type item of the primary stacking unit setting information 521 is not limited to the above example.
　図８に示すように、一次集積部設定情報５２１では、各集積先は、集積先ごとに付与されたＩＤ（以下、「集積先ＩＤ」と呼ぶ）により表されている。集積先ＩＤは、一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅ、オープンポケット５ａ、５ｂに対して１～７のＩＤが付与されている。例えば、一時集積部６１ａの集積先ＩＤは１、オープンポケット５ａの集積先ＩＤは６、オープンポケット５ｂの集積先ＩＤは７となる。そして、制御部５０は、鑑別部２により鑑別（分類）された紙幣について、一次集積部設定情報５２１に応じた集積先へ集積されるように、搬送路３等を制御する。 As shown in FIG. 8, in the primary stacking unit setting information 521, each stacking destination is represented by an ID assigned to each stacking destination (hereinafter referred to as “stacking destination ID”). As the collection destination IDs, IDs 1 to 7 are assigned to the temporary collection units 61a to 61e and the open pockets 5a and 5b. For example, the accumulation destination ID of the temporary accumulation unit 61a is 1, the accumulation destination ID of the open pocket 5a is 6, and the accumulation destination ID of the open pocket 5b is 7. And the control part 50 controls the conveyance path 3 grade | etc., So that the banknote discriminated (classified) by the discrimination part 2 may be integrated | stacked on the collection destination according to the primary stacking part setting information 521.
　この実施形態においては、例として、一次集積部設定情報５２１に、図８に示す内容が設定されているものとする。図８に示す一次集積部設定情報５２１では、金種が１００元紙幣で券種が「ＡＴＭ＋流通」の紙幣の集積先が一時集積部６１ｅ（集積先ＩＤ：５）、金種が１００元紙幣で券種が「損券」の紙幣の集積先がオープンポケット５ａ（集積先ＩＤ：６）、券種が「真偽ＲＪ」の紙幣の集積先がオープンポケット５ｂ（集積先ＩＤ：７）にそれぞれ設定されている。 In this embodiment, as an example, the contents shown in FIG. 8 are set in the primary stacking unit setting information 521. In the primary stacking unit setting information 521 shown in FIG. 8, the banknote collection destination of the banknote whose denomination is 100 yuan banknote and “ATM + distribution” is the temporary stacking unit 61e (stacking destination ID: 5), and the banknote is 100 yuan banknote. Thus, the banknote collection destination of the banknote with the “slipper” is the open pocket 5a (stacking destination ID: 6), and the banknote stacking destination of the bill type “true / false RJ” is the open pocket 5b (stacking destination ID: 7). Each is set.
　次に、鑑別部２の処理及び判別レベル設定情報５２２の内容について図９を用いて説明する。 Next, the processing of the discrimination unit 2 and the contents of the discrimination level setting information 522 will be described with reference to FIG.
　判別レベル設定情報５２２は、鑑別部２で行う紙幣の状態に係る認識処理（以下、「紙幣状態認識処理」と呼ぶ）の検査項目ごとのパラメータ（閾値）で構成されている。 The discrimination level setting information 522 is configured with parameters (threshold values) for each inspection item of the recognition process (hereinafter referred to as “banknote state recognition process”) related to the state of the banknote performed by the discrimination unit 2.
　図９に示す判別レベル設定情報５２２の例では、紙幣状態認識処理に係る１８の検査項目について、紙幣の状態を判別（分類）するための閾値（以下、「判別レベル」と呼ぶ）を記憶している。鑑別部２は、各検査項目について、紙幣を検査し、その検査結果（評価結果）についての評価値（以下、「認識レベル」と呼ぶ）を算出する。そして、鑑別部２は、真券と認識された紙幣について、判別レベル設定情報５２２の判別レベルに従い紙幣状態認識処理を行う。この実施形態では、鑑別部２は、各検査項目について１～２５５の範囲の整数値に正規化された認識レベルを算出するものとする。鑑別部２は、検査項目ごとに、状態が良好な紙幣（より痛みの度合いの少ない紙幣）ほど、より高い値の認識レベルを算出するものとする。なお、この実施形態では、説明を簡易とするために、鑑別部２は、各検査項目の認識レベルとして、全て同じ範囲の整数値（１～２５５）に正規化された値を算出するものとして説明するが、検査項目ごとに算出する数値の単位や範囲は異なるものとしてもよい。そして、この実施形態では、鑑別部２は、各検査項目について、ＡＴＭ券と認識可能な認識レベルの下限（以下、「ＡＴＭ券レベル」と呼ぶ）と、損券と認識される認識レベルの上限（以下、「損券レベル」と呼ぶ）とを登録している。すなわち、鑑別部２は、全ての検査項目についてＡＴＭ券レベル以上の認識レベルを算出した紙幣については、ＡＴＭ券と認識する。また、鑑別部２は、全ての検査項目について損券レベルより高い認識レベルであり、１つ以上の検査項目についてＡＴＭ券レベルより小さい認識レベルの紙幣については、流通券と認識する。さらに、鑑別部２は、１つ以上の検査項目について損券レベル以下の認識レベルの紙幣については、損券と認識するものとする。 In the example of the discrimination level setting information 522 shown in FIG. 9, a threshold (hereinafter referred to as “discrimination level”) for discriminating (classifying) the state of the banknote is stored for 18 inspection items related to the banknote state recognition process. ing. The discrimination unit 2 inspects banknotes for each inspection item, and calculates an evaluation value (hereinafter referred to as “recognition level”) for the inspection result (evaluation result). And the discrimination part 2 performs a banknote state recognition process according to the discrimination | determination level of the discrimination | determination level setting information 522 about the banknote recognized as a genuine note. In this embodiment, the discrimination unit 2 calculates a recognition level normalized to an integer value in a range of 1 to 255 for each inspection item. The discrimination part 2 shall calculate the recognition level of a higher value, so that a banknote with a favorable state (banknote with a less painful degree) for every test | inspection item. In this embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the discrimination unit 2 calculates values normalized to integer values (1 to 255) in the same range as the recognition level of each inspection item. As will be described, the unit and range of numerical values calculated for each inspection item may be different. In this embodiment, the discrimination unit 2 sets the lower limit of the recognition level that can be recognized as an ATM ticket (hereinafter referred to as “ATM ticket level”) and the upper limit of the recognition level that is recognized as a damaged ticket for each inspection item. (Hereinafter referred to as “defect ticket level”). That is, the discrimination unit 2 recognizes the banknotes for which the recognition level equal to or higher than the ATM ticket level is calculated for all the inspection items as an ATM ticket. Moreover, the discrimination part 2 recognizes it as a circulation ticket about the banknote of the recognition level higher than a non-payment ticket level about all the inspection items, and a recognition level smaller than an ATM ticket level about one or more inspection items. Furthermore, the discrimination part 2 shall recognize the banknote of the recognition level below a non-payment ticket level as a non-use ticket about one or more inspection items.
　図９に示す判別レベル設定情報５２２では、検査項目ごとに、識別子としての管理番号、当該検査項目の名称、損券レベル、及びＡＴＭ券レベルが登録されている。図９に示す判別レベル設定情報５２２では、１～１８の各管理番号の検査項目が登録されている。図９に示す判別レベル設定情報５２２では、管理番号１から順に、透かし部分汚損、肖像部分汚損、外周部分汚損、その他部分汚損、特定パターン落書き、透かし部落書き、肖像部落書き、その他落書き、角折れ破損、角破れ破損、形状破損、破れ破損、穴破損、テープ、全体汚損百、全体汚損五十、全体汚損二十、及び全体汚損十の検査項目が登録されている。なお、上述の検査項目のうち、全体汚損百、全体汚損五十、全体汚損二十、及び全体汚損十は、それぞれ券種が１００元紙幣、５０元紙幣、２０元紙幣、及び１０元紙幣にのみ適用される検査項目であり、それ以外の検査項目は全ての券種で共通の検査項目である。 In the discrimination level setting information 522 shown in FIG. 9, for each inspection item, a management number as an identifier, the name of the inspection item, a loss ticket level, and an ATM ticket level are registered. In the discrimination level setting information 522 shown in FIG. 9, the inspection items of the management numbers 1 to 18 are registered. In the discrimination level setting information 522 shown in FIG. 9, in order from the management number 1, watermark partial stain, portrait partial stain, outer peripheral partial stain, other partial stain, specific pattern graffiti, watermark graffiti, portrait graffiti, other graffiti, corner break The inspection items of breakage, corner breakage breakage, shape breakage, breakage breakage, hole breakage, tape, total contamination 100, total contamination 50, total contamination 20 and total contamination 10 are registered. Of the above-mentioned inspection items, the total stain 100, the overall stain 50, the overall stain 20 and the overall stain 10 are classified into 100 yuan banknote, 50 yuan banknote, 20 yuan banknote and 10 yuan banknote, respectively.

（Ａ－２－２）計数及び結束処理
　図１３は、紙幣結束整理装置１００において、計数及び結束処理が行われる場合の動作について示したフローチャートである。 (A-2-2) Counting and Bundling Process FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation when the counting and bundling process is performed in the banknote bundling apparatus 100.
　操作部７の計数開始ボタン７ａがオペレータによって押下されると（Ｓ２０１）、制御部５０は、計数及び結束処理を開始し、まず、各部の初期設定を行う（Ｓ２０２）。 When the counting start button 7a of the operation unit 7 is pressed by the operator (S201), the control unit 50 starts counting and binding processing, and first performs initial setting of each unit (S202).
　制御部５０は、初期設定を完了すると、投入口１にセットされた紙幣について、計数及び結束処理の動作を開始する（Ｓ２０３）。なお、紙幣結束整理装置１００が計数処理中に、オペレータにより、投入口１に紙幣が追加されることもあり得る。 When the initial setting is completed, the controller 50 starts counting and bundling operations for the banknote set in the slot 1 (S203). Note that a bill may be added to the insertion slot 1 by the operator while the bill bundling device 100 is counting.
　また、制御部５０は、計数処理を開始する際に、図１４に示す形式で、計数の状況を表示するための計数状況表示画面を表示する。 Further, when starting the counting process, the control unit 50 displays a counting status display screen for displaying the counting status in the format shown in FIG.
　なお、図１４に示す計数状況表示画面は、図８に示す一次集積部設定情報５２１に従った内容となっている。 Note that the counting status display screen shown in FIG. 14 has contents according to the primary stacking unit setting information 521 shown in FIG.
　計数状況表示画面では、図１４に示すようにフィールドＦ３２に、テーブル形式で、一時集積部６１ごとに、現在集積中の金種（図１４の「施封」の項目）、現在集積している枚数（図１４の「端数枚数」の項目）、及び現在集積中の金種について結束（施封）した紙幣束の数（図１４の「把束数」の項目）が表示される。なお、図１４の「施封」の項目の１～５の番号は、集積部ＩＤとなっている。したがって、図１４の例では、図８に示す一次集積部設定情報５２１に従って、施封の項目で「５：１００元紙幣」となっているため、一時集積部６１ｅ（一時集積部ＩＤ：５）に１００元紙幣が割り当てられていることを示している。また、図１４の例では、１００元紙幣について、現在５８枚集積されており（「端数枚数」の項目が「５８」）、既に１束の結束（施封）が行われた（「把束数」の項目が「１」）ことを示している。 On the counting status display screen, as shown in FIG. 14, the currently accumulated denomination (item “sealing” in FIG. 14) is currently accumulated in the field F32 in a table format for each temporary accumulation unit 61. The number of sheets (item “number of fractions” in FIG. 14) and the number of banknote bundles bundled (sealed) for the currently accumulated denomination (item “number of bundles” in FIG. 14) are displayed. Note that the numbers 1 to 5 in the “sealing” item in FIG. 14 are the stacking unit IDs. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 14, according to the primary stacking unit setting information 521 illustrated in FIG. 8, since the item of sealing is “5: 100 yuan banknote”, the temporary stacking unit 61 e (temporary stacking unit ID: 5). Indicates that 100 yuan banknotes are allocated. Further, in the example of FIG. 14, for 100 yuan banknotes, 58 sheets are currently accumulated (the item “number of fractions” is “58”), and one bundle (sealing) has already been performed (“bundling”). The item “number” is “1”).
　また、計数状況表示画面では、図１４に示すようにフィールドＦ３１に、テーブル形式で、オープンポケット５ａ、５ｂごとに、現在集積中の券種（図１４の「ポケット」の項目）、現在枚数（現在集積されている枚数）と設定枚数（各ポケットに集積する上限の枚数）が入力されている。なお、フィールドＦ３１の「ポケット」の項目において「１」は第１のオープンポケット５ａ、「２」は第２のオープンポケット５ｂ、「ＲＪ」はリジェクトポケット８をあらわしている。この実施形態の紙幣結束整理装置１００では、図８に示す一次集積部設定情報５２１に従って、第１のオープンポケット５ａに、金種が「１００元紙幣」で券種が「損券」の紙幣を集積するように設定されている。また、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、図８に示す一次集積部設定情報５２１に従って、第２のオープンポケット５ｂに、券種が「真偽ＲＪ」（真偽不明または偽券と判断した紙幣）のものを集積するように設定されている。 On the counting status display screen, as shown in FIG. 14, in the field F31, in the table format, for each open pocket 5a, 5b, the currently accumulated ticket type (item “Pocket” in FIG. 14), the current number ( The number of sheets currently accumulated) and the set number (the upper limit number of sheets accumulated in each pocket) are entered. In the item “Pocket” of the field F31, “1” represents the first open pocket 5a, “2” represents the second open pocket 5b, and “RJ” represents the reject pocket 8. In the banknote bundling apparatus 100 according to this embodiment, according to the primary stacking unit setting information 521 shown in FIG. It is set to accumulate. Moreover, in the banknote bundling arrangement device 100, according to the primary stacking unit setting information 521 shown in FIG. 8, the second open pocket 5b has a ticket type of “true / false RJ” (banknote determined to be unauthenticated or counterfeit). It is set to collect things.
　さらに、計数状況表示画面では、図１４に示すようにフィールドＦ３３に、処理状況に係るメッセージ（例えば、「計数中」等のメッセージ）が表示される。 Further, on the counting status display screen, a message related to the processing status (for example, a message such as “counting”) is displayed in the field F33 as shown in FIG.
　さらにまた、計数状況表示画面では、図１４に示すように紙幣状態認識処理に係る情報表示や、各検査項目に係る認識レベル調整が可能な画面（以下、「紙幣状態認識メイン画面」と呼ぶ）に移行するための認識ボタンＢ３１（「認識」と表示されたボタン）が配置されている。 Furthermore, on the counting status display screen, as shown in FIG. 14, a screen capable of displaying information related to the bill status recognition process and adjusting a recognition level related to each inspection item (hereinafter referred to as “banknote status recognition main screen”). A recognition button B31 (a button labeled “recognition”) for shifting to is arranged.
　そして、制御部５０は、搬送路３を制御して投入口１にセットされた紙幣を１枚取り込んで鑑別部２に鑑別処理（分類処理）を実行させる（Ｓ２０４）。 Then, the control unit 50 controls the transport path 3 to take in one banknote set in the slot 1 and causes the discrimination unit 2 to execute a discrimination process (classification process) (S204).
　そして、制御部２０５は、上述のステップＳ２０４で鑑別（分類）された紙幣について、対応する集積先に搬送するように制御を行う（Ｓ２０５）。なお、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、各一時集積部６１ａ～６１ｅに集積された紙幣が設定枚数に達すると、その紙幣の束が紙幣結束機構１０により結束処理されるが、図１３のフローチャートでは、結束処理に係る動作については省略して図示している。 And the control part 205 performs control so that the banknote discriminated (classified) by the above-mentioned step S204 may be conveyed to the corresponding accumulation destination (S205). In the banknote bundling apparatus 100, when the banknotes accumulated in the temporary stacking units 61a to 61e reach the set number, the banknote bundling mechanism 10 binds the banknote bundle, but in the flowchart of FIG. The operation related to the bundling process is not shown.
　そして、制御部２０５は、投入部１に投入された紙幣が残っているか否かを確認し（Ｓ２０６）、残っている場合は上述のステップＳ２０４の処理から動作し、残っていない場合（投入紙幣が終了している場合）は、計数及び結束処理を停止する（Ｓ２０７）。 And the control part 205 confirms whether the banknote inserted into the insertion part 1 remains (S206), and when it remains, it operate | moves from the process of above-mentioned step S204, and when it does not remain (inserted banknote) Is completed), the counting and binding process is stopped (S207).
　次に、上述のステップＳ２０４における鑑別部２による鑑別処理について図１５のフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Next, the discrimination process by the discrimination unit 2 in step S204 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
　まず、鑑別部２は、１枚の紙幣について処理を開始すると、当該紙幣の券種及び真偽の判別処理を行う（Ｓ３０１）。 First, when the discrimination unit 2 starts processing for one banknote, it performs a bill type and authenticity discrimination process for the banknote (S301).
　そして、鑑別部２は、判別結果を確認し（Ｓ３０２）、当該紙幣が偽造された偽券又は判別不能な紙幣（当該紙幣結束整理装置１００で処理対象とならない種類の紙幣を含む）であると認識した場合には、その判別結果をもって当該紙幣の処理を終了する。 And the discrimination part 2 confirms a discrimination | determination result (S302), and when the said banknote is forged or the banknote which cannot be discriminate | determined (including the kind of banknote which cannot be processed with the said banknote binding organization apparatus 100). When it recognizes, the process of the said banknote is complete | finished with the determination result.
　一方、当該紙幣の判別結果が当該紙幣結束整理装置１００で処理対象となる紙幣の真券だった場合、鑑別部２は、さらに当該紙幣について、状態を認識する紙幣状態認識処理を行い（Ｓ３０３）、その処理結果（検査項目ごとの認識レベル）を記憶部５２（紙幣処理履歴５２３）に登録して（Ｓ３０４）処理を終了する。 On the other hand, when the discrimination result of the banknote is a genuine note of the banknote to be processed by the banknote bundling and organizing apparatus 100, the discrimination unit 2 further performs banknote state recognition processing for recognizing the state of the banknote (S303). Then, the processing result (recognition level for each inspection item) is registered in the storage unit 52 (banknote processing history 523) (S304), and the processing is terminated.
　次に、上述の計数状況表示画面で、認識ボタンＢ３１が押下された場合に移行する画面（紙幣状態認識メイン画面）について図１６を用いて説明する。 Next, a screen (banknote state recognition main screen) that is shifted when the recognition button B31 is pressed on the above-described counting status display screen will be described with reference to FIG.
　紙幣状態認識メイン画面は、紙幣状態認識処理の各検査項目（管理番号１～１８の各検査項目）に係る表示、及び変更が可能な操作画面である。 The banknote state recognition main screen is an operation screen that can be displayed and changed according to each inspection item (inspection items of management numbers 1 to 18) of the banknote state recognition process.
　紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、図１６に示すように、管理番号１～１８の各検査項目について、それぞれフィールドＦ４０１～Ｆ４１８が割り当てられている。そして、それぞれの検査項目に対応するフィールドでは、当該検査項目の判別レベル（損券レベル及びＡＴＭ券レベル）を変更する画面（以下、「判別レベル変更画面」と呼ぶ）に移行するボタンと、当該検査項目に係るパラメータを表示（図１６の状態では、損券レベル及びＡＴＭ券レベルを表示）する表示領域が設定されている。例えば、管理番号が「０１」の「透かし部分汚損」の検査項目に対応するフィールドＦ４０１は、図１６に示すように、「０１　透かし部分汚損」と表示されたボタンと、「透かし部分汚損」の損券レベル及びＡＴＭ券レベルとして「１００／２００」が表示された表示領域により構成されている。この場合、「透かし部分汚損」の損券レベルは１００、ＡＴＭ券レベルは２００であることを示している。 In the banknote state recognition main screen, as shown in FIG. 16, fields F401 to F418 are assigned to the inspection items of management numbers 1 to 18, respectively. In the field corresponding to each inspection item, a button that shifts to a screen (hereinafter referred to as a “discrimination level change screen”) for changing the determination level (loss ticket level and ATM ticket level) of the inspection item, A display area for displaying parameters related to the inspection items (in the state shown in FIG. 16, the loss ticket level and the ATM ticket level are displayed) is set. For example, the field F401 corresponding to the inspection item of “watermark partial stain” with the management number “01” includes a button displaying “01 watermark partial stain” and “watermark partial stain” as shown in FIG. It is comprised by the display area where "100/200" was displayed as a loss ticket level and an ATM ticket level. In this case, it is shown that the loss ticket level of “watermark partial stain” is 100 and the ATM ticket level is 200.
　以上のように、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、制御部５０及び操作表示部１３が出力する紙幣状態認識メイン画面（図１６参照）により、検査項目ごとの判別レベルと認識履歴における認識レベルとの比較結果をオペレータに出力する比較結果出力手段が構成されている。 As described above, in the banknote bundling apparatus 100, the banknote state recognition main screen (see FIG. 16) output from the control unit 50 and the operation display unit 13 compares the discrimination level for each inspection item with the recognition level in the recognition history. Comparison result output means for outputting the result to the operator is configured.
　そして、図１６に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面で、いずれかのフィールドのボタンが押下された場合、制御部５０は操作表示部１３の画面を、当該検査項目の判別レベルを調整するための判別レベル変更画面に遷移させる。図１７は、判別レベル変更画面の例について示している。図１７では、例として、管理番号が「０１」の「透かし部分汚損」の認識レベルを変更する判別レベル変更画面となっている。 When the button of any field is pressed on the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 50 uses the screen of the operation display unit 13 to determine the determination level for adjusting the determination level of the inspection item. Transition to the change screen. FIG. 17 shows an example of the discrimination level change screen. In FIG. 17, as an example, a discrimination level change screen for changing the recognition level of “watermark partial contamination” with the management number “01” is shown.
　図１７の判別レベル変更画面では、判別レベルの変更に係る検査項目を示すフィールドＦ５１（図１７では、「０１　透かし部分汚損」と表示）と、変更前の当該検査項目の各判別レベル表示（図１７では棒グラフ形式で表示）したフィールドＦ５２と、変更後の当該検査項目の各判別レベルを表示（図１７では、棒グラフに数値を付記した形式で表示）したＦ５３とが配置されている。また、図１７の判別レベル変更画面では、損券レベルを増減するボタンが配置されたフィールドＦ５４と、ＡＴＭ券レベルを増減するボタンが配置されたフィールドＦ５５が配置されている。例えば、損券レベルに係るフィールドＦ５４には、増減する数値が表示された４つのボタン（「－１０」、「－１」、「＋１」、「＋１０」と表示されたボタン）が配置されており、判別レベル変更画面では、これらのボタンの押下に応じて、フィールドＦ５３に表示される棒グラフ及び数値が変更（増減）されるように構成されている。さらに、図１７の判別レベル変更画面では、変更後の判別レベルを、紙幣状態認識メイン画面に反映して前の画面（紙幣状態認識メイン画面）に戻るためのボタンＢ５１（「確認」と表示されたボタン）と、変更後の判別レベルを反映せずに前の画面に戻るためのボタンＢ５２（「取消」と表示されたボタン）とが配置されている。 In the discrimination level change screen of FIG. 17, a field F51 (indicated as “01 watermark partial defacement” in FIG. 17) indicating an inspection item related to the change of the discrimination level, and each discrimination level display (FIG. 17) of the inspection item before the change. A field F52 that is displayed in a bar graph format in FIG. 17 and an F53 that displays each determination level of the inspection item after the change (displayed in a format in which a numerical value is added to the bar graph in FIG. 17) are arranged. In addition, in the discrimination level change screen of FIG. 17, a field F54 in which buttons for increasing / decreasing the loss ticket level and a field F55 in which buttons for increasing / decreasing the ATM ticket level are arranged are arranged. For example, in the field F54 relating to the loss ticket level, four buttons (buttons displayed as “−10”, “−1”, “+1”, and “+10”) in which numerical values to be increased or decreased are arranged. In the discrimination level change screen, the bar graph and the numerical value displayed in the field F53 are changed (increased / decreased) in response to pressing of these buttons. Further, on the discrimination level change screen of FIG. 17, a button B51 (“Confirm”) is displayed for reflecting the changed discrimination level on the banknote state recognition main screen and returning to the previous screen (banknote state recognition main screen). Button) and a button B52 (button displayed as “Cancel”) for returning to the previous screen without reflecting the changed discrimination level.
　また、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別レベル変更画面により判別レベルが変更された場合、図２０に示すように、変更に係る検査項目のボタンの表示形式が変化（例えば、赤色等の目立つ色に表示形式が変化）するものとする。例えば、図２０では、「０１　透かし部分汚損」に係るフィールドＦ４０１のボタンの表示形式が変化した状態（図２０では、ボタンにハッチを付して図示）について示している。 On the banknote state recognition main screen, when the discrimination level is changed on the discrimination level change screen, as shown in FIG. 20, the display format of the button of the inspection item related to the change is changed (for example, to a conspicuous color such as red). Display format changes). For example, FIG. 20 shows a state where the display format of the button of the field F401 related to “01 watermark partial stain” is changed (in FIG. 20, the button is hatched).
　以上のように、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、制御部５０及び操作表示部１３が出力する判別レベル変更画面（図１７参照）により、オペレータから検査項目ごとの判別レベルの変更を受付ける閾値変更手段が構成されている。 As described above, in the banknote bundling organizing apparatus 100, the threshold value changing means for accepting the change of the discrimination level for each inspection item from the operator by the discrimination level change screen (see FIG. 17) output from the control unit 50 and the operation display unit 13. It is configured.
　そして、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、現在表示中の各検査項目の判別レベルを判別レベル設定情報５２２に反映させて、前の画面（計数状況表示画面）に戻る確認ボタンＢ４１と、現在表示中の各検査項目の判別レベルを判別レベル設定情報５２２に反映させずに前の画面に戻る取消ボタンＢ４２とが配置されている。 On the bill state recognition main screen, a confirmation button B41 for reflecting the discrimination level of each inspection item currently displayed in the discrimination level setting information 522 and returning to the previous screen (counting status display screen), A cancel button B42 for returning to the previous screen without reflecting the discrimination level of each inspection item in the discrimination level setting information 522 is arranged.
　さらに、紙幣状態認識メイン画面には、当該画面の表示内容を変更するためのボタンＢ４３～Ｂ４６が配置されている。「１枚判別履歴」と表示されたボタンＢ４３は、紙幣状態認識メイン画面の各フィールドの表示領域を直近の１枚の認識履歴に基づく内容の表示に切り替えるためのボタンである。「５００枚判別履歴」と表示されたボタンＢ４４は、紙幣状態認識メイン画面の各フィールドの表示領域を直近の５００枚の認識履歴に基づく内容の表示に切り替えるためのボタンである。「判別結果」と表示されたボタンＢ４５は、紙幣状態認識メイン画面の各フィールドの表示領域を直近の１枚の認識履歴に基づく認識レベルに切替えるためのボタンである。「判別履歴統計」と表示されたボタンＢ４６は、紙幣処理履歴５２３に基づいて、過去の紙幣状態認識処理に係る統計情報を表示するためのボタンである。 Furthermore, buttons B43 to B46 for changing the display contents of the screen are arranged on the banknote state recognition main screen. The button B43 displayed as “single sheet discriminating history” is a button for switching the display area of each field of the banknote state recognition main screen to display of contents based on the most recent one sheet of recognition history. The button B44 displayed as “500-sheet discrimination history” is a button for switching the display area of each field on the banknote state recognition main screen to display the content based on the latest 500-sheet recognition history. The button B45 displayed as “discrimination result” is a button for switching the display area of each field of the banknote state recognition main screen to the recognition level based on the most recent recognition history. The button B46 displayed as “discrimination history statistics” is a button for displaying statistical information related to past banknote state recognition processing based on the banknote processing history 523.
　図１６に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、「１枚判別履歴」と表示されたボタンＢ４３が押下されると、図１８に示すような１枚判別履歴を表示した状態となる。 In the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 16, when the button B <b> 43 displayed as “one-sheet discrimination history” is pressed, a one-sheet discrimination history as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed.
　紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、１枚判別履歴を表示した状態となると、紙幣処理履歴５２３に記憶されている任意の紙幣の認識履歴（ここでは、直近に判別処理した１枚の紙幣の認識履歴であるものとする）の認識レベルに基づき、各検査項目の各判別レベルの表示形式が変化（例えば、赤字等の目立つ色に表示形式が変化）する。例えば、この実施形態では、紙幣状態認識メイン画面で、１枚判別履歴を表示した状態となると、各検査項目の判別レベルと当該紙幣の認識レベルとが比較され、当該紙幣の認識レベルと各判別レベルの数値との比較結果に基づいて表示形式が変更（図１８では、図示の都合上、ハッチを付して図示）される。例えば、図１８では、フィールドＦ４０１（透かし部分汚損）の表示領域の「１００」及び「２００」の両方について表示形式が変化している。例えば、当該紙幣の透かし部分汚損に係る認識レベルが「５０」だった場合、損券レベル（１００）及びＡＴＭ券レベル（２００）の両方を下回るため、図１８のような表示となる。一方、当該紙幣に係る認識レベルが損券レベルより高く、ＡＴＭ券レベルより低い場合は、図１８のフィールドＦ４０３（０３　外周部分汚損）のように、ＡＴＭ券レベルの数字のみについて表示形式が変化する。紙幣状態認識メイン画面で、１枚判別履歴を表示した状態でも表示形式が変化しない検査項目については、当該紙幣の認識レベルがＡＴＭ券レベル以上だったことを示している。なお、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、１枚判別履歴を表示した状態で、再度ボタンＢ４３が押下されると、元の表示形式（図１６の状態）に戻る。 In the banknote state recognition main screen, when a single sheet discrimination history is displayed, a recognition history of an arbitrary banknote stored in the banknote processing history 523 (in this case, the recognition history of a single banknote that has been most recently discriminated is processed. The display format of each discrimination level of each inspection item changes (for example, the display format changes to a conspicuous color such as a red letter) based on the recognition level. For example, in this embodiment, when the one-sheet discrimination history is displayed on the bill state recognition main screen, the discrimination level of each inspection item is compared with the recognition level of the bill, and the recognition level of the bill and each discrimination are determined. The display format is changed based on the result of comparison with the numerical value of the level (in FIG. 18, for the convenience of illustration, hatching is used). For example, in FIG. 18, the display format changes for both “100” and “200” in the display area of the field F401 (watermark partial stain). For example, when the recognition level related to the watermark partial contamination of the banknote is “50”, it is lower than both the non-payment ticket level (100) and the ATM banknote level (200), so the display is as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the recognition level related to the banknote is higher than the non-payment ticket level and lower than the ATM banknote level, the display format is changed only for the numbers of the ATM banknote level as shown in the field F403 (03 outer peripheral partial stain) in FIG. . About the inspection item whose display format does not change even in the state where one sheet discrimination history is displayed on the bill state recognition main screen, it indicates that the recognition level of the bill is equal to or higher than the ATM bill level. In the bill state recognition main screen, when the button B43 is pressed again in a state where the one-sheet discrimination history is displayed, the original display format (the state shown in FIG. 16) is restored.
　図１６に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、ボタンＢ４４が押下されると、図１９に示すような５００枚判別履歴を表示した状態となる。 In the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 16, when the button B44 is pressed, a 500-sheet discrimination history as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed.
　紙幣状態認識メイン画面で５００枚判別履歴を表示した状態の表示形式は、１枚判別履歴と同様であるが、比較対象が複数の紙幣に係る認識レベル（ここでは、直近に処理された５００枚の紙幣に係る認識レベルであるものとする）の平均値となっている点が異なっている。例えば、過去５００枚の紙幣について「０４　その他部分汚損」に係る認識レベルの平均値が「５０」だった場合、損券レベル（１００）及びＡＴＭ券レベル（２００）の両方を下回るため、図１９のような表示となる。図１９では、フィールドＦ４０４の表示領域の「１００」及び「２００」の両方について表示形式が変化している。なお、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、５００枚判別履歴を表示した状態で、再度ボタンＢ４４が押下されると、元の表示形式（図１６の状態）に戻る。なお、過去５００枚の平均値ではなく最低値や最高値で表示させてもよい。 The display format of the state in which the 500-sheet discrimination history is displayed on the banknote state recognition main screen is the same as that of the 1-sheet discrimination history, but the comparison target is a recognition level related to a plurality of banknotes (here, the 500 processed most recently) It is the point which is the average value of the recognition level which concerns on the banknote of this. For example, when the average value of the recognition level related to “04 Other Partially Stained” for the past 500 banknotes is “50”, it falls below both the non-payable ticket level (100) and the ATM ticket level (200). Is displayed. In FIG. 19, the display format is changed for both “100” and “200” in the display area of the field F404. In the banknote state recognition main screen, when the button B44 is pressed again in a state where the 500-sheet discrimination history is displayed, the original display format (the state shown in FIG. 16) is restored. In addition, you may display by the minimum value and the maximum value instead of the average value of the past 500 sheets.
　以上のように、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、制御部５０及び操作表示部１３が出力する紙幣状態認識メイン画面（図１８、図１９参照）により、任意の数の認識履歴（各検査項目の認識レベル）に基づく判別レベルとの比較結果をオペレータに出力する比較履歴出力手段が構成されている。 As described above, in the banknote bundling apparatus 100, an arbitrary number of recognition histories (recognition of each inspection item) are displayed by the banknote state recognition main screen (see FIGS. 18 and 19) output by the control unit 50 and the operation display unit 13. Comparison history output means for outputting the result of comparison with the discrimination level based on (level) to the operator is configured.
　図１６に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、ボタンＢ４５が押下されると、図２１に示すような判別結果を表示した状態となる。 In the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 16, when the button B45 is pressed, the determination result as shown in FIG. 21 is displayed.
　紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別結果を表示した状態となると、図２１に示すように、紙幣処理履歴５２３に記憶されている任意の紙幣の認識履歴（ここでは、直近に判別処理した１枚の紙幣の認識履歴であるものとする）に係る各検査項目の認識レベルが、各検査項目に対応するフィールドの表示領域に表示される。例えば、図２１では、「０１　透かし部分汚損」に係るフィールドＦ４０１の表示領域に５０が表示されているため、当該紙幣の「０１　透かし部分汚損」の認識レベルは５０であったことを示している。なお、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別結果を表示した状態で、再度ボタンＢ４５が押下されると、元の表示形式（図１６の状態）に戻る。 In the banknote state recognition main screen, when the discrimination result is displayed, as shown in FIG. 21, the recognition history of any banknote stored in the banknote processing history 523 (here, one piece of the discriminating process most recently processed) The recognition level of each inspection item according to the banknote recognition history is displayed in the display area of the field corresponding to each inspection item. For example, in FIG. 21, since 50 is displayed in the display area of the field F401 related to “01 watermark partial stain”, the recognition level of “01 watermark partial stain” of the banknote is 50. . In the bill state recognition main screen, when the button B45 is pressed again in a state where the discrimination result is displayed, the original display form (the state of FIG. 16) is restored.
　以上のように、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、制御部５０及び操作表示部１３が出力する紙幣状態認識メイン画面（図２１参照）により、紙幣の認識履歴（各検査項目の認識レベル）をオペレータに出力する履歴出力手段が構成されている。 As described above, in the banknote bundling apparatus 100, the banknote recognition history (recognition level of each inspection item) is given to the operator by the banknote state recognition main screen (see FIG. 21) output by the control unit 50 and the operation display unit 13. A history output means for outputting is configured.
　図１６に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、ボタンＢ４６が押下されると、図２２に示すような判別履歴統計を表示した状態となる。 In the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 16, when the button B46 is pressed, the discrimination history statistics as shown in FIG. 22 are displayed.
　紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別履歴統計を表示した状態となると、複数の認識履歴（ここでは、直近の１０００枚分の認識履歴であるものとする）に係る各検査項目の認識レベルに、現在表示している各検査項目の判別レベルを適用した場合の判別結果の統計情報（損券の枚数及びＡＴＭ券の枚数等）が、各フィールドの表示領域に表示される。具体的には、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別履歴統計を表示した状態となると、図２２に示すように、判別結果として、各検査項目のフィールドに損券の枚数及びＡＴＭ券の枚数を表示される。例えば、図２２では、「透かし部分汚損」の検査項目に対応するフィールドＦ４０１の表示領域に、「１００枚／２００枚」と表示されている。これは、過去１０００枚分の「透かし部分汚損」の認識レベルのそれぞれに、現在紙幣状態認識メイン画面で保持している判別レベル（損券レベル、流通券レベル）を適用した場合の損券の枚数（１００枚）と流通券の枚数（２００枚）を示している。また、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別履歴統計を表示した状態となると、フィールドＦ５０に、過去１０００枚分の認識履歴に、現在紙幣状態認識メイン画面で保持している各検査項目の判別レベルを適用した場合の判別結果（全ての検査項目の判別レベルを考慮した最終的な判別結果）に基づく計情報が表示される。図２２では、フィールドＦ５０の表に、損券、流通券、ＡＴＭ券及び合計の枚数が表示されている。また、図２２では、フィールドＦ５０の表に、損券、流通券、及びＡＴＭ券の比率（合計枚数に対する比率）を表示（％で表示）している。図２２のフィールドＦ５０の表では、損券１００枚（１０％）、流通券（２００枚）、ＡＴＭ券７００枚（７０％）、合計１０００枚という結果となっている。 In the bill status recognition main screen, when the discrimination history statistics are displayed, the recognition level of each inspection item relating to a plurality of recognition histories (here, the recognition histories for the most recent 1000 sheets) is set to the current level. Statistical information (such as the number of lost tickets and the number of ATM tickets) of the determination results when applying the displayed determination level of each inspection item is displayed in the display area of each field. Specifically, on the banknote state recognition main screen, when the discrimination history statistics are displayed, as shown in FIG. 22, the number of lost tickets and the number of ATM bills are displayed in the field of each inspection item as shown in FIG. Is done. For example, in FIG. 22, “100 sheets / 200 sheets” is displayed in the display area of the field F401 corresponding to the inspection item “watermark partial stain”. This is because the recognition level (loss level, circulation ticket level) currently held on the main screen for recognition of banknote status is applied to each of the recognition levels of “watermark partial stain” for the past 1000 sheets. The number of sheets (100 sheets) and the number of circulation tickets (200 sheets) are shown. In the bill status recognition main screen, when the discrimination history statistics are displayed, the discrimination level of each inspection item currently held in the bill status recognition main screen is displayed in the field F50 in the past 1000 recognition histories. Total information based on the discrimination result when applied (final discrimination result considering the discrimination levels of all inspection items) is displayed. In FIG. 22, the table of the field F50 displays a non-use ticket, a circulation ticket, an ATM ticket, and the total number of sheets. Further, in FIG. 22, the ratio of the non-performing ticket, the circulation ticket, and the ATM ticket (ratio to the total number) is displayed (displayed in%) in the table of field F50. In the table of the field F50 in FIG. 22, the result is that there are a total of 1000 sheets, which is 100 non-performing tickets (10%), circulation tickets (200 sheets), 700 ATM tickets (70%).
　そして、図２２に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、「透かし部分汚損」の検査項目を理由とする損券及び流通券が最も多いため、「透かし部分汚損」の検査項目について判別レベルを調整すれば、全体の判別結果も変化することが分かる。 And, in the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 22, since there are the largest number of banknotes and circulation tickets due to the inspection item of “watermark partial contamination”, if the discrimination level is adjusted for the inspection item of “watermark partial contamination” It can be seen that the overall discrimination result also changes.
　そして、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別履歴統計を表示した状態で、判別レベルが変更（判別レベル変更画面で変更）されると、変更後の判別レベル（判別レベル設定情報５２２に反映される前の判別レベル）に基づいて、各フィールドの表示領域の表示内容、及びフィールドＦ５０の表示内容が更新される。例えば、紙幣状態認識メイン画面が図２２に示す状態で、フィールドＦ４０１のボタンが押下され、「透かし部分汚損」の損券レベル及びＡＴＭ券レベルを下げる変更が行われた場合、図２３のような状態となる。図２３では、「透かし部分汚損」の検査項目について判別レベルが変更されたため、Ｆ４０１のボタンの表示形式が変わっている（図２３ではハッチを付した状態となっている）。また、図２３では、「透かし部分汚損」の検査項目の判別レベル変更に伴って、フィールドＦ４０１の表示領域の内容、及び、フィールドＦ５０の統計情報の内容が更新されている。図２３では、フィールドＦ４０１の表示領域の内容が、「１００枚／２００枚」から「５０枚／２５０枚」に更新されている。さらに、図２３では、フィールドＦ５０の表のうち、損券の枚数が１００枚（１０％）から５０枚（５％）に更新されている。さらに、図２３では、フィールドＦ５０の表のうち、流通券の枚数が２００枚（２０％）から２５０枚（２５％）に更新されている。さらにまた、図２３では、フィールドＦ５０の表で、更新のあった損券及び流通券の表示部分の表示形式が変わっている（図２３ではハッチを付した状態となっている）。フィールドＦ５０の表で更新のあった部分の表示形式の変更方式については限定されないものであるが、赤色の文字に変更する等目立つ形式であることが望ましい。なお、紙幣状態認識メイン画面では、判別履歴統計を表示した状態で、再度ボタンＢ４６が押下されると、元の表示形式（図１６の状態）に戻る。 Then, on the banknote state recognition main screen, when the discrimination level is changed (changed on the discrimination level change screen) with the discrimination history statistics displayed, the changed discrimination level (before being reflected in the discrimination level setting information 522). The display content of the display area of each field and the display content of the field F50 are updated based on the determination level). For example, when the banknote state recognition main screen is in the state shown in FIG. 22 and the button of the field F401 is pressed, and the change is made to lower the loss ticket level and ATM ticket level of “watermark partial stain”, as shown in FIG. It becomes a state. In FIG. 23, since the determination level is changed for the inspection item “watermark partial stain”, the display format of the button of F401 is changed (in FIG. 23, it is in a hatched state). In FIG. 23, the contents of the display area of the field F401 and the contents of the statistical information of the field F50 are updated with the change of the discrimination level of the inspection item “watermark partial contamination”. In FIG. 23, the content of the display area of the field F401 is updated from “100 sheets / 200 sheets” to “50 sheets / 250 sheets”. Further, in FIG. 23, in the table of the field F50, the number of non-performing tickets is updated from 100 (10%) to 50 (5%). Further, in FIG. 23, the number of circulation tickets in the table of the field F50 is updated from 200 (20%) to 250 (25%). Furthermore, in FIG. 23, in the table of field F50, the display format of the display portion of the updated damaged bill and circulation ticket is changed (in FIG. 23, a hatched state is applied). The method of changing the display format of the updated portion in the table of the field F50 is not limited, but it is desirable that the format is conspicuous, for example, it is changed to a red character. In the bill state recognition main screen, when the button B46 is pressed again in a state where the discrimination history statistics are displayed, the original display format (the state of FIG. 16) is restored.
　以上のように、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、制御部５０及び操作表示部１３が出力する紙幣状態認識メイン画面（図２２、図２３参照）により、任意の紙幣の認識履歴（各検査項目の認識レベル）に基づいて、現在保持している判別レベル（判別レベル設定情報５２２に記憶されている判別レベル、又は、判別レベル設定情報５２２に反映される前の変更後の判別レベル）に基づく統計情報をオペレータに出力する統計情報出力手段が構成されている。 As described above, in the banknote bundling and organizing apparatus 100, the recognition history (recognition of each inspection item) of an arbitrary banknote is recognized by the banknote state recognition main screen (see FIGS. 22 and 23) output by the control unit 50 and the operation display unit 13. ) Based on the currently held discrimination level (the discrimination level stored in the discrimination level setting information 522 or the discrimination level after being changed before being reflected in the discrimination level setting information 522). Is output to the operator.
（Ａ－３）実施形態の効果
　この実施形態によれば、以下のような効果を奏することができる。 (A-3) Effects of Embodiment According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
　この実施形態の紙幣結束整理装置１００では、紙幣状態認識メイン画面で（図１６、図１８参照）、紙幣処理履歴５２３に基づき、過去の各紙幣の認識レベルに基づく判別処理結果（検査項目ごとの分類結果）を表示している。これにより、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、処理された紙幣がどの検査項目で「損券」もしくは「ＡＴＭ券ではない」と判別（分類）されたかをオペレータが容易に把握できる。さらに、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、検査項目ごとの分類結果を表示した紙幣状態認識メイン画面から、直接各検査項目の判別レベルを変更する判別レベル変更画面（図１７参照）に移行することができるので、オペレータに容易に各検査項目の調整を行う環境を提供することができる。 In the banknote bundling arrangement device 100 of this embodiment, on the banknote state recognition main screen (see FIGS. 16 and 18), based on the banknote processing history 523, a discrimination processing result based on the past recognition level of each banknote (for each inspection item). Classification result) is displayed. As a result, in the banknote bundling and organizing apparatus 100, the operator can easily grasp which inspection item the processed banknote has been determined (classified) as “non-damaged” or “not an ATM ticket”. Furthermore, in the banknote bundling organizing apparatus 100, the banknote state recognition main screen displaying the classification result for each inspection item can directly shift to a determination level changing screen (see FIG. 17) for changing the determination level of each inspection item. Therefore, it is possible to provide the operator with an environment for easily adjusting each inspection item.
　また、紙幣結束整理装置１００では、紙幣状態認識メイン画面で、紙幣の認識履歴の表示（図２１参照）や、統計情報の表示（図２２、図２３参照）を行うことで、オペレータにさまざまな観点から認識履歴の分析結果を出力するため、オペレータによる判別レベルの調整を補助することができる。 Moreover, in the banknote bundling organizing apparatus 100, the operator can perform various displays on the banknote state recognition main screen by displaying the recognition history of banknotes (see FIG. 21) and displaying statistical information (see FIGS. 22 and 23). Since the analysis result of the recognition history is output from the viewpoint, it is possible to assist the operator in adjusting the discrimination level.
（Ｂ）第２の実施形態
　以下、本発明による紙葉類処理装置を、紙幣結束整理装置に適用した第２の実施形態を、図面を参照しながら説明する。 (B) 2nd Embodiment Hereinafter, 2nd Embodiment which applied the paper sheet processing apparatus by this invention to the banknote bundling organizing apparatus is described, referring drawings.
（Ｂ－１）第２の実施形態の構成及び動作
　第２の実施形態の紙幣結束整理装置１００Ａの構成は、第１の実施形態と同様に上述の図１～図９も用いて示すことができる。なお、上述の図１、図２、図４において括弧内の符号は、第２の実施形態でのみ用いられる符号である。以下では、第２の実施形態について第１の実施形態との差異を説明する。 (B-1) Configuration and operation of the second embodiment The configuration of the banknote bundling apparatus 100A of the second embodiment can be shown using the above-described FIGS. 1 to 9 as well as the first embodiment. it can. Note that the reference numerals in parentheses in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4 described above are used only in the second embodiment. Hereinafter, differences of the second embodiment from the first embodiment will be described.
　紙幣結束整理装置１００Ａは、ハードウェア的には、第１の実施形態と同様であるが、機能的な構成（ソフトウェア的な構成）の一部が第１の実施形態と異なっている。具体的には、紙幣結束整理装置１００Ａでは、鑑別部２及び制御部５０が、鑑別部２Ａ及び制御部５０Ａに置き換わっている点で第１の実施形態とことなっている。また、制御部５０Ａでは、紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａの構成が第１の実施形態と異なっている。 The banknote bundling apparatus 100A is similar to the first embodiment in terms of hardware, but a part of a functional configuration (software configuration) is different from that of the first embodiment. Specifically, the banknote bundling apparatus 100A is different from the first embodiment in that the discrimination unit 2 and the control unit 50 are replaced with the discrimination unit 2A and the control unit 50A.

　第１の実施形態の紙幣処理履歴５２３については、紙幣状態認識処理の認識履歴として、少なくとも、紙幣ごとの、各検査項目の認識レベルを含む処理履歴の情報を記憶するものとして説明したが、第２の実施形態の紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａでは、紙幣毎の情報として、各紙幣の表面に記載された識別情報（以下、「記番号」と呼ぶ）を対応付けて記憶する点で第１の実施形態異なっている。すなわち、紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａでは、過去に処理した紙幣の記番号と当該紙幣に係る各検査項目の認識レベルが対応づけて管理されている。 The banknote processing history 523 of the first embodiment has been described as storing at least processing history information including the recognition level of each inspection item for each banknote as the recognition history of the banknote state recognition process. In the banknote processing history 523A of the second embodiment, identification information (hereinafter referred to as “serial number”) described on the surface of each banknote is stored in association with each banknote as the first embodiment. Is different. That is, in the banknote processing history 523A, the serial number of the banknote processed in the past and the recognition level of each inspection item related to the banknote are managed in association with each other.
　また、第２の実施形態の鑑別部２Ａは、鑑別する紙幣の記番号（識別情報）も認識可能な識別情報認識手段としても機能する必要がある。鑑別部２Ａが、紙幣の記番号を認識する具体的方式については限定されないものであるが、例えば、種々の紙幣処理装置と同様の構成（例えば、ＯＣＲ（Ｏｐｔｉｃａｌ　Ｃｈａｒａｃｔｅｒ　Ｒｅｃｏｇｎｉｔｉｏｎ）等画像解析を用いた「識別手段」）を適用することができるので詳しい説明は省略する。 Also, the discrimination unit 2A of the second embodiment needs to function as identification information recognition means that can also recognize the serial number (identification information) of the banknote to be discriminated. Although the specific method of recognizing the serial number of the banknote is not limited, the identification unit 2A uses, for example, image analysis such as a configuration similar to various banknote processing devices (for example, OCR (Optical Character Recognition)). Since “identification means”) can be applied, detailed description is omitted.
　具体的には、例えば、紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａの構成は図２４のようなテーブルを用いることができる。なお、紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａでは、紙幣毎に記番号及び認識レベルが管理されていれば、内部の具体的なデータ構造については、限定されないものである。 Specifically, for example, the configuration of the banknote processing history 523A can use a table as shown in FIG. In the banknote processing history 523A, the internal specific data structure is not limited as long as the serial number and the recognition level are managed for each banknote.
　図２４に示すテーブルでは、紙幣ごとに管理番号、記番号及び認識レベル（各検査項目の認識レベル）の情報が登録されている。なお、紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａにおいて、各紙幣のその他の情報（例えば、金種、処理日時、集積先の情報等）も合わせて登録するようにしてもよい。 24, the management number, serial number, and recognition level (recognition level of each inspection item) are registered for each bill. In the banknote processing history 523A, other information of each banknote (for example, denomination, processing date and time, collection destination information, etc.) may be registered together.
　なお、図２４に示す紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａのテーブルでは、管理番号は、各紙幣を処理した順序を昇順で表しているものとする。すなわち、図２４に示す紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａのテーブルでは、管理番号の数値が大きいほど、直近に処理された紙幣であることを示している。図２４では、管理番号１～３００の計３００枚分の紙幣に係る処理履歴が記録された状態について示している。 In the banknote processing history 523A table shown in FIG. 24, the management number represents the order in which the banknotes are processed in ascending order. That is, in the table of banknote processing history 523A shown in FIG. 24, the larger the management number, the more recently processed banknotes are. FIG. 24 shows a state in which processing histories relating to a total of 300 banknotes with management numbers 1 to 300 are recorded.
　そして、制御部５０Ａでは、紙幣状態認識メイン画面（上述の図１６）で、「１枚判別履歴」と表示されたボタン（ボタンＢ４３）が押下され、１枚判別履歴が表示されたときの状態の操作画面の構成が第１の実施形態と異なっている。 And in 50 A of control parts, the state when the button (button B43) displayed as "one sheet discrimination history" is pushed down on the bill state recognition main screen (above-mentioned FIG. 16), and one sheet discrimination history is displayed. The configuration of the operation screen is different from that of the first embodiment.
　なお、図２４に示す紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａのテーブルでは、管理番号は、各紙幣を処理した順序を昇順で表しているものとする。すなわち、図２４に示す紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａのテーブルでは、管理番号の数字が大きいほど、直近に処理された紙幣であることを示している。 In the banknote processing history 523A table shown in FIG. 24, the management number represents the order in which the banknotes are processed in ascending order. That is, in the table of banknote processing history 523A shown in FIG. 24, the larger the management number, the more recently processed banknote.
　そして、制御部５０Ａでは、紙幣状態認識メイン画面（上述の図１６）で、「１枚判別履歴」と表示されたボタン（ボタンＢ４３）が押下され、１枚判別履歴が表示されたときの操作画面（以下、「１枚判別履歴表示画面」とも呼ぶ）の構成が第１の実施形態と異なっている。 Then, in the control unit 50A, an operation when the button (button B43) displayed as “one-sheet discrimination history” is pressed and the one-sheet discrimination history is displayed on the bill state recognition main screen (FIG. 16 described above). The configuration of the screen (hereinafter also referred to as “single-sheet discrimination history display screen”) is different from that of the first embodiment.
　第２の実施形態の紙幣結束整理装置１００Ａで表示される紙幣状態認識メイン画面（１枚判別履歴が表示された状態）は、例えば、図２５に示すような構成となっている。図２５に示す紙幣状態認識メイン画面（１枚判別履歴が表示された状態）では、第１の実施形態の画面（上述の図１８）と同一又は対応する部分（フィールド及びボタン）に同一又は対応する符号を付している。なお、以下では、紙幣状態認識メイン画面において、１枚判別履歴が表示された状態を、「１枚判別履歴表示画面」とも呼ぶものとする。 The banknote state recognition main screen (a state in which a single sheet discrimination history is displayed) displayed on the banknote bundling apparatus 100A of the second embodiment has a configuration as shown in FIG. 25, for example. In the banknote state recognition main screen shown in FIG. 25 (a state in which the single sheet discrimination history is displayed), the same or corresponding parts (fields and buttons) that are the same as or correspond to the screen (FIG. 18 described above) of the first embodiment. The code | symbol which attaches is attached | subjected. In the following, the state in which the one-sheet discrimination history is displayed on the banknote state recognition main screen is also referred to as a “one-sheet discrimination history display screen”.
　そして、第２の実施形態の１枚判別履歴表示画面では、現在認識レベル等の情報を表示中の紙幣（以下、「表示中紙幣」とも呼ぶ）に係る記番号を表示するためのフィールドＦ５００、表示中紙幣を１つ前に処理した紙幣（表示中紙幣よりも管理番号が１少ない紙幣）に切り替えるためのボタンＢ５１、表示中紙幣を１つ後（表示中紙幣の管理番号に処理した紙幣（表示中紙幣よりも管理番号が１多い紙幣）に切り替えるためのボタンＢ５２、及び記番号を指定して１枚判別履歴表示画面の表示を切替えるためのボタンＢ５３が配置されている。 On the one-sheet discrimination history display screen according to the second embodiment, a field F500 for displaying a serial number related to a banknote displaying information such as a current recognition level (hereinafter also referred to as “displayed banknote”), Button B51 for switching to a banknote processed one banknote before display (a banknote with one management number less than the banknote currently displayed), one banknote after display (banknote processed to the management number of the banknote being displayed ( A button B52 for switching to a banknote having a management number one more than the banknote being displayed) and a button B53 for specifying the serial number and switching the display of the one-sheet discrimination history display screen are arranged.
　次に、図２５に示す１枚判別履歴表示画面（紙幣状態認識メイン画面で１枚判別履歴が表示された状態）の詳細構成及び動作について説明する。なお、ここでは、紙幣処理履歴５２３Ａの内容は、図２４に示す内容となっているものとする。 Next, the detailed configuration and operation of the one-sheet discrimination history display screen (a state in which one-sheet discrimination history is displayed on the banknote state recognition main screen) shown in FIG. 25 will be described. Here, it is assumed that the contents of the banknote processing history 523A are the contents shown in FIG.
　以下、第２の実施形態の制御部５０Ａが表示する１枚判別履歴表示画面の構成及び動作の詳細について図２５～図２７を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, the configuration and operation details of the one-sheet discrimination history display screen displayed by the control unit 50A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
