Description

Paper sheet handling device and paper sheet handling mechanism

The present invention relates to a paper sheet handling device and a paper sheet handling mechanism.

In the paper handling device, if a paper failure has occurred while the paper is being transported, and the paper remains on the transport path, the staff will remove the paper (residual paper) remaining on the transport path. By removing it reliably, the recovery time from the failure can be shortened. In order for the clerk to reliably remove the remaining paper sheets, it is necessary to accurately grasp the position where the conveyance failure has occurred in the paper sheet handling apparatus.

Conventionally, it is known that when a conveyance failure occurs during the conveyance of a paper sheet, the discrimination information and position information of the remaining paper sheet are displayed. For example, Patent Document 1 stores paper sheet discrimination information and paper sheet position information in association with each other, and displays them on a display unit to identify the position and type of the remaining paper sheet. It is disclosed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-228561 displays the position information of the remaining paper sheets after the occurrence of a failure on the display unit, and also moves the remaining paper sheets using a detection sensor on the conveyance path when removing the remaining paper sheets. Is disclosed.

 Residual paper sheets may not be reliably removed only by information that residual paper sheets exist in the section between adjacent detection sensors. This is because it may remain in places that are difficult to visually check, such as a conveyance path that cannot be opened and closed. At this time, since it takes time to remove the remaining paper sheets, the stop time of the apparatus becomes longer, and the rotation efficiency of the apparatus may be reduced. In addition, the remaining paper sheets that should be returned to the user are left in the apparatus without being returned, and the remaining paper sheets may pass to other users, resulting in a cash trouble.

In particular, when the unique information of the paper sheet has been acquired, the residual paper sheet is referred to by referring to the information that the residual paper sheet exists in the section between the adjacent detection sensors and the unique information of the paper sheet. It was possible to prevent forgetting to remove the paper, but if the residual paper remained in a place where it was difficult to visually check, or if the staff moved the transport path of the device manually, Since the paper has been moved to a place where it is difficult to visually check, there is a possibility that the remaining paper sheets may be lost, and it takes time to remove the residual paper sheets.
In addition, it is necessary to accurately provide the actual position of the remaining paper sheet before or after acquiring the unique information of the paper sheet. For example, when two or more sheets of paper are stacked and conveyed, the unique information of the paper sheets cannot be obtained, and when the paper sheets remain in a place where it is difficult to visually check, etc. This is to prevent forgetting to remove a part of the remaining paper sheets.

The present invention detects the exact position of the remaining paper sheets on the conveyance path regardless of whether or not the unique information of the paper sheets has been acquired, and even when the conveyance path is manually moved, The purpose is to provide the staff with location information of the remaining paper sheets.

The deposit / withdrawal port 2 is provided on the front side (right side in FIG. 3), and is provided on the deposit side 2a for accepting paper sheets input from the outside and on the back side (opposite side of the front side: left side in FIG. 3). And a dispensing portion 2b for storing paper sheets to be discharged to the outside. In this embodiment, it is sufficient that the deposit / withdrawal port 2 has at least a deposit port provided with the deposit unit 2a, and if the abnormal paper sheets generated during the deposit process described later are stored in the deposit unit 2a, the present invention will be described. Can be realized. Here, the abnormal paper sheets are inappropriate to be stored inside the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 because the denomination cannot be determined by the determination unit 3 or the dimensions of the paper sheets are not appropriate. It is a paper sheet that has been identified.

Since the present invention can be easily applied to the withdrawal process, the withdrawal unit 2b is provided as shown in FIG. 3, and abnormal paper sheets generated during the withdrawal process are stored in the withdrawal unit 2b. good. In the present embodiment, a configuration including the withdrawal unit 2b will be described.

In the central part of the paper sheet handling mechanism 1, a determination unit 3 for acquiring the determination information of the conveyed paper sheet is arranged. Here, the paper sheet discrimination information includes, for example, paper sheet denomination information, authenticity information (whether it is genuine, counterfeit, or suspected counterfeit), and paper sheet status information. (Including tears and wrinkles).

Further, the discriminating unit 3 reads the unique information of each paper sheet (for example, the serial number printed on the paper sheet) that is different from the discrimination information, so that the same denomination, authenticity or state Even if there are a plurality of paper sheets, it can be recognized as separate paper sheets.

On the upper side of the rear side of the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 (upper left side in FIG. 3), a temporary storage 4 for temporarily storing the received paper sheets until the transaction is established. Here, in the case of the present embodiment, “paid paper sheets” refers to the paper withdrawal section 2b after discrimination in the discrimination section 3 among the paper sheets put into the deposit section 2a of the deposit / withdrawal port 2. This refers to paper sheets other than paper sheets to be conveyed. Note that the paper sheets conveyed to the dispensing unit 2 b after the determination by the determination unit 3 may be temporarily stored in the temporary storage 4. At the bottom of the paper sheet handling mechanism 1, from the front side to the back side, there is an entrance safe 5 that only stores paper sheets, and

reflux cabinets

6, 7, and 8 that store and discharge paper sheets. , 9 are arranged.

The deposit box 5 is a storage for storing reject paper sheets generated during the deposit process. Here, “reject paper sheets” are appropriate to be stored in the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 by the discriminating unit 3, but suitable for conveyance during withdrawal processing due to, for example, folding or tearing. It is a paper sheet that is judged to be not.

The reflux storages 6 to 9 are storages for storing paper sheets that are deposited and suitable for withdrawal, that is, paper sheets other than the abnormal paper sheets and the reject paper sheets. . In the reflux cabinets 6 to 9, paper sheets are stored for each type of money at the time of deposit processing, and a specified number of sheets are discharged at the time of withdrawal processing.

It is possible to change the settings of the safe 5 and the return cabinets 6 to 9 by software settings, dip switch settings (not shown), etc. The reflux box 6 may be operated as a safe. Also, the denominations of paper sheets stored in the reflux cabinets 6 to 9 can be set by software, dip switch settings, etc. Even if sheets of the same denomination are stored in a plurality of reflux cabinets. good. For example, 10 euro bills, 50 euro bills, 100 euro bills and 200 euro bills may be stored in the

reflux cabinets

6, 7, 8 and 9, respectively, and 50 euro bills in the

reflux cabinets

6, 7, 8 and 9 respectively. 50 euro bills, 100 euro bills, 100 euro bills may be stored.

The deposit / withdrawal port 2, the determination unit 3, the temporary storage box 4, the deposit box 5, and the reflux boxes 6 to 9 are connected by a transport path 10 (10a to 10f) for transporting paper sheets. . These transport paths 10a to 10f are driven by a transport path drive unit 10X shown in FIG. The transport path driving unit 10X is a single drive source. However, the drive sources of the transport paths 10a to 10f can be used as separate drive sources, or a plurality of transport paths can be integrated into the transport paths 10a to 10f. You may drive by one drive source. The conveyance path 10 a is a conveyance path for conveying paper sheets between the depositing unit 2 a of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 and the determination unit 3. The

transport paths

10b and 10c are transport paths for transporting paper sheets between the determination unit 3 and the temporary storage 4, and the transport path 10b is disposed on the determination unit 3 side, and the transport path 10c is a temporary storage. It is arranged on the 4 side. The conveyance path 10 d is a conveyance path that is branched from the conveyance path 10 b and conveys paper sheets to the withdrawal portion 2 b of the deposit / withdrawal port 2. The conveyance path 10e is a conveyance path that conveys paper sheets between the conveyance path 10a and the conveyance path 10d. The transport path 10f is a transport path for transporting paper sheets between the transport path 10a, the entrance vault 5, and the return boxes 6-9.

Among the transport paths 10a to 10f, the section from the branch point of the transport path 10f to the determination unit 3 among the transport paths 10a, the transport path 10b, the transport path 10c, and the transport path 10f are paper sheets. It is a bidirectional conveyance path that conveys in both directions. On the other hand, in the transport path 10a, the section from the depositing portion 2a of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 to the branch point of the transport path 10f and the transport path 10d are one-way transport paths for transporting paper sheets in one direction. .

Note that the unidirectional transport path is configured to transport paper sheets in only one direction, although it can be transported in both directions, even though it can transport paper sheets in only one direction because of its structure. A conveyance path may be used. In the latter case, all of the transport paths 10a to 10f may be bidirectional transport paths.

On the conveyance path 10, a conveyance path sensor (detection unit) 11 (11a to 11l) for detecting the presence of paper sheets is provided. The transport path sensors 11a to 11l include, for example, an infrared light emitting unit and an infrared light receiving unit provided at a position facing the infrared light emitting unit, and detect dark / light of the infrared light receiving unit. Thus, the presence of the paper sheet is detected. The conveyance path sensors 11a to 11l are not limited to the arrangement shown in FIG.

FIG. 4A is a block diagram showing the control relationship of the paper sheet handling mechanism 1. The paper sheet handling mechanism 1 includes a deposit / withdrawal port 2, a discriminating unit 3, a temporary storage box 4, a safe deposit box 5, reflux boxes 6 to 9, and a conveyance path that drives a conveyance path 10 (10a to 10f). A drive unit 10X, a conveyance path sensor 11 (11a to 11l), a storage unit 12, and a measurement unit 13 are provided. These mechanisms and components are connected to the control unit 14 and perform necessary operations under the control of the control unit 14. That is, the control unit 14 receives a command from the main body control unit 110 via the bus 109 of the ATM 101, and controls each mechanism and component based on the command.

The storage unit 12 is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like, and the paper sheet discrimination information (denomination information, authenticity information, status information) determined by the determination unit 3 and each paper sheet. Unique information (for example, serial numbers printed on paper sheets) is stored in a table format.

The storage area of the storage unit 12 includes a transport position information storage area 12a, a discrimination information storage area 12b, and a correspondence information storage area 12c, as shown in FIG.

In the transport position information storage area 12a, transport order information indicating the transport order of paper sheets acquired as measurement information by the measurement unit 13 from the drive amount and drive direction of the transport path driving unit 10X, and transport of paper sheets The distance and position information indicating the transport position of the paper sheet are stored.

In the discrimination information storage area 12b, the transport order information, discrimination information (paper type denomination information, authenticity information, status information) acquired by the discrimination unit 3, and unique information are stored. In addition, management of data becomes easy by making the conveyance order information of the conveyance position information storage area 12a and the conveyance order information of the discrimination information storage area 12b common.

Also, the correspondence information storage area 12c stores correspondence information between the conveyance path sensor, the movement distance from the conveyance path sensor, and the conveyance section of the paper sheet.

The measurement unit 13 acquires the transport distance and the drive direction of the paper sheet as measurement information based on the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X.

The driving amount of the conveyance path driving unit 10X is acquired as follows. For example, when the transport path driving unit 10X rotates clockwise (A direction in FIG. 5), pulse signals 150a and 150b are output from the transport path driving unit 10X. Further, when the transport path driving unit 10X rotates counterclockwise (direction B in FIG. 5), pulse signals 150c and 150d are output from the transport path driving unit 10X. When the transport path driving unit 10X rotates clockwise (A direction in FIG. 5), two types of pulse signals 150a and 150b are output. Of these, the pulse signal 150a is 1 / less than the pulse signal 150b. It is output with the four-phase phase advanced. This is because the measurement unit 13 sets “0” & “0”, “0” & “1”, “1” & “0” as combinations of the signal states “0” and “1” of the pulse signal 150a and the pulse signal 150b. ”,“ 1 ”&“ 1 ”can be measured, and a detailed driving amount is measured.

In addition, when the transport path driving unit 10X rotates counterclockwise (direction B in FIG. 5), two types of pulse signals 150c and 150d are output. Of these, the pulse signal 150c is more than the pulse signal 150d. Is output in a state where the quarter cycle phase is delayed. The reason why the phase of the pulse signal 150c is relatively delayed is to determine the rotation direction of the transport path driving unit 10X. That is, when the pulse signals 150b and 150d change from “0” to “1”, the pulse signal 150a is “0” and the pulse signal 150c is “1”. The rotation direction of the drive unit 10X is determined.

As shown in FIG. 4C, the control unit 14 includes a conveyance path drive control unit 14 a that controls the conveyance path drive unit 10 </ b> X based on the determination information acquired by the determination unit 3, and determination information stored in the storage unit 12. And based on the measurement information acquired by the measurement unit 13, the position information acquisition unit 14 b that acquires the position information of the paper sheet, the determination information acquired by the determination unit 3, the measurement information acquired by the measurement unit 13, and the paper sheet The storage control unit 14c stores the position information of the storage unit 12 in the storage unit 12, the conveyance path sensor monitoring unit 14d that monitors the states of the conveyance path sensors 11a to 11l, and the communication control unit 14e with the main body control unit. Note that the conveyance path drive control unit, the position information acquisition unit, the storage control unit, the conveyance path sensor monitoring unit, and the communication control unit may have separate hardware configurations.
A2. Typical Transaction Using Paper Sheet Handling Device Next, typical transaction using the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 will be described. As a typical transaction using the paper sheet handling mechanism 1, a deposit transaction for storing the paper sheets input from the user inside the paper sheet handling mechanism 1, and a storage inside the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 There is a withdrawal transaction that releases the used paper sheets to users.

At the time of deposit transaction, the paper sheets put into the deposit part 2a of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 by the user are stored in the discriminator 3 with the discriminating information (paper type denomination information, authenticity information, status) Information) and unique information are acquired and then temporarily stored in the temporary storage 4 and the determination result is displayed on the user operation / display unit 105 to prompt the user to confirm. When the determination result is confirmed by the user, the paper sheets stored in the temporary storage 4 are stored in the deposit box 5 or the return boxes 6-9, and a series of deposit transactions is executed. Further, when the determination result is displayed on the user operation / display unit 105 and the deposit transaction is canceled by the user, the paper sheets stored in the temporary storage 4 are stored in the withdrawal unit of the deposit / withdrawal port 2. 2b.

Among the operations described above, the operation of storing the paper sheets for which the paper sheet discrimination information and unique information have been acquired by the discrimination unit 3 is referred to as a “payment counting operation”. The operation of storing paper sheets in the deposit vault 5 or the return cabinets 6 to 9 is referred to as “payment storage processing”, and the return processing of paper sheets when the payment transaction is canceled is referred to as “payment return processing”.

At the time of the withdrawal transaction, the discrimination unit 3 determines the paper sheet discrimination information (the paper money) for the paper sheets fed out from the recirculation cabinets 6 to 9 by a predetermined number according to the withdrawal amount. Seed information, authenticity information, status information) and unique information are acquired and then conveyed to the withdrawal portion 2b of the deposit / withdrawal port 2. Reject paper sheets determined to be unsuitable for withdrawal based on the paper sheet discrimination information acquired by the discrimination unit 3 are stored in the temporary storage 4 so as not to be paid out to the user. After the gold transaction is completed, it is transferred from the temporary storage 4 to the safe 5.
A3. Paper Sheet Transport Process in Deposit Counting Process Hereinafter, the paper sheet transport process in the deposit count process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the user inserts paper sheets into the depositing section 2a of the deposit / withdrawal port 2, the sheets are separated one by one from the depositing / dispensing section 2a and carried out onto the transport path 10a (S1001). The discriminating information (denomination information, authenticity information, status information) and unique information of the paper sheets that have passed through the transport path 10a are acquired by the discriminating unit 3, and the storage control unit 14c These pieces of information are stored in the transport position information storage area 12a (S1003).

After (S1003), the transport path drive control unit 14a sets the transport destination of the paper sheet based on the determination information acquired by the determination unit 3, and stores the paper sheet in the temporary storage 4 or the deposit / withdrawal port 2 To the withdrawal part 2b. When the paper sheet is not an abnormal paper sheet (S1004: No), the transport destination of the paper sheet is set in the temporary storage 4 (S1005). In (S1005), the conveyance path drive control unit 14a sets the final conveyance destination of the paper sheet to either the safe 5 or the return boxes 6-9. The storage control unit 14c stores the information set in (S1005) in the transport position information storage area 12a of the storage unit 12 (S1006). Thereafter, the transport path drive control unit 14a transports the paper sheet to the temporary storage 4 (S1007).

For example, when it is set in advance to store 10 euro bills in the reflux cabinet 9, when the denomination information of the paper sheet is 10 euros in the determination unit 3, the transport path drive control unit 14a The transport destination of the paper sheet is determined as the temporary storage box 4 and the final transport destination is determined as the reflux container 9, and the paper sheet is stored in the temporary storage box 4 before the paper sheet is transported to the reflux container 9 as the final transport destination. Carry things.

In addition, when the denomination information cannot be acquired by the determination unit 3 or when the state information is inappropriate (for example, the size of the paper sheet is not appropriate), the paper sheet is an abnormal paper sheet. If there is (S1004: Yes), the transport path drive control unit 14a sets the transport destination of the paper sheet to the deposit / withdrawal port 2 (S1008), and the storage control unit 14c stores the set information in the storage unit 12. It is stored in the transport position information storage area 12a (S1009). Thereafter, the conveyance path drive control unit 14a conveys the paper sheet to the dispensing unit 2b of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 (S1010).

Among these paper sheet transport processes, the transport path sensor monitoring is performed until the paper sheet fed from the deposit port 2a of the deposit / withdrawal port 2 is transported to the temporary storage 4 or the withdrawal port 2b of the deposit / withdrawal port 2. The unit 14d detects the presence of paper sheets using the transport path sensors 11a to 11l.

In the deposit counting process, paper sheets usually pass through the conveyance path sensors 11a to 11g. Among these, when paper sheets are detected by the transport path sensors 11a to 11d and 11f (S1011 or S1012: Yes), the paper sheets are present in any of the transport paths 10a to 10d, and the deposit counting process is normal. It is determined that

On the other hand, in the deposit counting process, the paper sheets do not pass through the transport path sensors 11h to 11l. When the paper sheets are detected by these transport path sensors 11h to 11l (S1013 or S1014: Yes), the residual paper sheets on the transport path 10f are detected. Therefore, when the paper path is detected by the transport path sensors 11h to 11l, it is determined that the deposit counting process is abnormal, and the process is stopped (S1015).

A6. Advantages of the present embodiment This embodiment has an effect that it is possible to detect the exact position of the remaining paper sheets on the conveyance path regardless of whether or not the unique information of the paper sheets has been acquired.

Also, there is an effect that it is possible to detect the exact position of the remaining paper sheets without increasing the number of conveyance path sensors. In particular, the conveyance path 10 (for example, the conveyance path 10b) between adjacent conveyance path sensors (for example, between the conveyance path sensors 11b-11c) has a curved configuration, and the plurality of conveyance path sensors cannot be disposed close to each other. In the case where the conveyance path between adjacent conveyance path sensors overlaps with a plurality of layers in the vertical direction, by employing this embodiment, the clerk can place the position of the remaining paper sheets on any layer of the conveyance path 10. It is possible to easily grasp whether it exists. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 11, it is displayed that the remaining paper sheets are present in the upper layer of the conveyance path 10b, so that the attendant does not need to search the entire conveyance path 10b.

When removing residual paper sheets, it is necessary to move the conveyance path in order to expose the residual paper sheets. At this time, there is a possibility that the remaining paper sheets move together with the conveyance path, and the remaining paper sheets move to a position different from the position displayed on the staff display unit. In this case, the time until the clerk finds the remaining paper sheets becomes longer.

In this embodiment, in addition to the problem to be solved in the first embodiment, a paper sheet handling apparatus that solves the above problem will be described.
B1. Paper Handling Device and Paper Handling Mechanism Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the configuration of the ATM 101 is the same as that of the first embodiment (FIGS. 1 and 2), and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here. About the structure of the paper sheet handling mechanism 1, since there exists a different part from Example 1 (FIG. 1, 2), a different part from Example 1 is demonstrated below. As shown in FIG. 12, the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 in the present embodiment, in addition to the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 in the first embodiment, is a knob (conveyance path operation unit) 15a for manually driving the conveyance path 10. To 15e. These knobs 15a to 15e are respectively provided to the transport path driving units 10X of the

transport paths

10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, and 10f (in this embodiment, the transport path driving unit 10X includes the

transport paths

10a, 10b, 10c, 10d and 10f), and the conveyance path drive unit 10X can be driven by rotating the knobs 15a to 15e.

The amount of rotation of the knobs 15a to 15e is determined by the measuring unit 13 as the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X. Note that the method for determining the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X in the measurement unit 13 is the same as that in the first embodiment (FIG. 5), and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.
B2. Renewal of the position of the remaining paper sheet In the process of removing the remaining paper sheet, when the transport path driving unit 10X is driven by an operator manually driving the knobs 15a to 15e, the movement distance information of the transport position information storage area 12a 203 is updated. The communication unit 14e transmits the updated transport position information storage area 12a to the main body control unit 110 via the bus 109. The main body control unit 110 updates the residual part display screen 400 and the residual detailed part display screen 500 and displays them on the staff operation / display unit 107.

The remaining part display screen 410 shown in FIG. 13A is a screen in which the position of the remaining paper sheet 401f is updated in the remaining part display screen 400 shown in FIG. The positions of the remaining paper sheets 411a to 411f after the update are calculated as described in the first embodiment. Among these, for the paper sheets whose positions have been changed (residual paper sheets 401f and 411f), the residual paper sheets 401f on the residual portion display screen 400 shown in FIG. The paper sheet 412f is displayed. Further, an arrow 413f indicating the movement of the remaining paper sheets is displayed.

The remaining portion display screen 510 shown in FIG. 13B is a screen in which the position of the remaining paper sheet 501f is updated in the remaining portion display screen 500 shown in FIG. 10B. The calculation of the positions of the remaining paper sheets 511a to 511f after update and the display of the

unique information

512a and 512c of the

residual paper sheets

511a and 511c are the same as in the first embodiment. Among these, for the paper sheets whose positions have been changed (residual paper sheets 501f and 511f), the residual paper sheets 501f on the residual portion display screen 500 shown in FIG. The paper sheet 513f is displayed. Further, an arrow 514f indicating the movement of the remaining paper sheets is displayed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the position update of the remaining paper sheets. First, when the conveyance path driving unit 10X is driven by driving the knobs 15a to 15e, the measurement unit 13 measures the moving distance of the paper sheet from the driving amount of the conveyance path driving unit 10X (S2501). Next, the storage control unit 14c stores the movement distance of the paper sheet in the conveyance position information storage area 12a, and updates the conveyance position information storage area 12a based on the movement distance of the paper sheet (S2502).

When the transport path driving unit 10X is driven, it may be possible for the determination unit 3 to newly acquire image information of paper sheets. When the image information of the paper sheet is newly acquired by the determination unit 3 (S2503: Yes), the communication control unit 14e displays the information on the updated transport position information storage area 12a and the image of the paper sheet acquired by the determination unit 3. The information is transmitted to the main body control unit 110 via the bus 109 (S2504). On the other hand, when the image information of the paper sheet cannot be newly acquired by the determination unit 3 (S2503: No), the communication control unit 14e updates the information of the updated transport position information storage area 12a and the transport path sensors 11a to 11d, The image information of the dummy paper sheets created based on the information acquired in 11f is transmitted to the main body control unit 110 (S2505).

After (S2505), the main body control unit 110 updates the display of the failure processing information screen 300 and the remaining part display screens 400 and 500 (S2506). The display processing of the failure processing information screen 300 and the remaining part display screens 400 and 500 is the same processing as (S2003) to (S2008) in the first embodiment (FIG. 8).

When the transport path drive unit 10X is further driven after the above processing, the processing after (S2501) is performed again, and the display of the failure processing information screen 300 and the remaining portion display screens 400 and 500 is updated. By shortening the interval at which the processes of (S2501) to (S2506) are performed, the frequency of updating the image information of the paper sheet is increased.

Before (S2501), the information on the transport position information storage area 12a and the image information of the paper sheets acquired by the determination unit 3 (or the information on the transport position information storage area 12a and the image information of the dummy paper sheets) are obtained. You may transmit to the main body control part 110.

Regardless of whether the transport path driving unit 10X is driven or not, information on the transport position information storage area 12a and image information of the paper sheet acquired by the determination unit 3 (or transport position information storage) are stored at predetermined time intervals. The information on the area 12a and the image information of the dummy paper sheets) may be transmitted to the main body control unit 110. At this time, before the process of (S2506), the main body control unit 110 determines whether or not the received information of the transport position information storage area 12a has changed. If not, the process of (S2506) is performed. It is not necessary to execute.
B3. Advantages of this embodiment As an effect of this embodiment, even when the conveyance path is driven manually, the display of the image information of the paper sheets is updated, so that the conveyance path is also removed during the residual paper sheet removal process. It is possible to accurately grasp the remaining paper sheets. This makes it possible to remove the remaining paper sheets efficiently and accurately.

In addition, a present Example is not limited above, For example, the following modifications can be applied.
(1) Modified Example 1: Display Contents of Failure Information Screen 300 FIG. 15A is a diagram showing the failure information screen 310. Differences from the failure information screen 300 shown in FIG. 8 are failure detailed information 311 (corresponding to the failure detailed information 301), acquisition result information 312 (corresponding to the acquisition result information 302), arrow keys 313 and 314 (arrow key 303 and 304), paper sheet image display area 315 (corresponding to paper sheet image display area 305), failure history tabs 316 to 318 (failure history tabs 306 to 308), and a method for removing residual paper sheets. This is that a removal method button 319 to be displayed and a removal confirmation button 320 selected when the removal of the remaining paper sheets is completed are added. The removal confirmation button 320 allows the attendant to visually check the specific information of the remaining paper sheet displayed in the failure detailed information 311 and the specific information of the actually removed residual paper sheet, and the specific information matches. When selected.

When the removal method button 319 is selected, a residual paper sheet removal method corresponding to the residual position of the residual paper sheet is displayed. It should be noted that the method for removing the remaining paper sheets differs depending on the remaining position, and the confirmation location and confirmation procedure corresponding to each remaining position are stored in the main body control unit 110 in advance.

When the removal confirmation button 320 is selected, the image information of the remaining paper sheet displayed in the paper sheet image display area 315 is displayed as a broken line, translucent, or deleted as shown in FIG. In other words, it is displayed so that it is clear that the remaining paper sheets have been removed. When the removal confirmation button 320 is selected, the main body control unit 110 transmits a command to delete information on the removed paper sheets from the storage unit 12 to the communication control unit 14 e via the bus 109. After receiving the command by the communication control unit 14e, the storage control unit 14c deletes the information regarding the removed paper sheets from the transmission position information storage area 12a and the discrimination information storage area 12b.

On the failure information screen 310, it is possible to distinguish the information on the residual paper sheet once removed from the information on the residual paper sheet that has not been removed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent trouble due to forgetting to remove.

FIG. 15B is a diagram showing the failure information screen 330. The difference from the failure information screen 300 shown in FIG. 8 is that the area of the paper sheet image display area 331 is wider than the paper sheet image display area 305.

The fault information screen 330 can shift the area displayed in the paper sheet image display area 331. The staff display / operation unit 107 detects the moving direction of the finger touching the paper sheet image display area 331, and shifts the area displayed in the paper sheet image display area 331 from the detected moving direction of the finger. . For example, when it is detected that the finger touching the paper sheet image display area 331 has moved leftward, the display area of the paper sheet image display area 331 is shifted to the right.

In addition, when the staff display / operation unit 107 detects that two fingers are in contact with the paper sheet image display area 331, when the distance between the two contact points becomes short, the paper sheet image is displayed. When the display area of the display area 331 is enlarged (the image is reduced) and the distance between the two contact points is increased, the display area of the paper sheet image display area 331 may be reduced (the image is enlarged). Is possible.

Further, by displaying the background of the paper sheet image display area 331 in a grid display, it is possible to grasp the details of the dimensions of the paper sheet. The grid display of the background may be switched between display / non-display.

Also, in the paper sheet image display area 331, the names of the parts of the transport path sensor 11 and the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 may be displayed together with the remaining paper sheets. At this time, the boundary of each part of the paper sheet handling mechanism 1 may be displayed, or the background color of the paper sheet image display area 331 may be changed at the boundary of each part.

In addition, a distance measurement button 332 is displayed on the failure information screen 330, and when the distance measurement button 332 is selected, the interval and size of the remaining paper sheets displayed in the paper sheet image display area 305 are displayed. Is done. After the distance measurement button 311 is selected, the distance between the two selected points may be displayed by selecting two points to be measured on the paper sheet image display area 305.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a failure information screen 340. The difference from the failure information screen 330 shown in FIG. 15B is that the background of the paper sheet image display area 341 is the image of the conveyance path. The paper sheet image display area 341 includes paper sheet

image display areas

341a and 341b, which are a captured image from below and a captured image from above of the transport paths 10a to 10f, respectively.

As described in the second embodiment, when the knobs 15a to 15e are manually driven, the display areas of the paper sheet

image display areas

341a and 341b are set according to the driving amount and driving direction of the transport path driving unit 10X. It is possible to shift (see FIG. 16B).
(2) Updating of the transport position information storage area 12a When an attendant manually drives the knobs 15a to 15e, even if the transport path sensors 11a to 11i become dark, the transport path sensors 11a to 11l detect paper sheets. If the sheet cannot be stored or if the paper sheets continue to stay on the transport path sensors 11a to 11l, change the passing sensor 202 in the transport position information storage area 12a and the movement distance information associated with the change of the passing sensor 202 to “0”. It is not necessary to perform the process to make.

In addition, in order to make it easy to remove residual paper sheets, the conveyance path is not closed when the conveyance paths can be opened and closed, and a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit of a pair of optical sensors are provided in each conveyance path. Sometimes, the light receiving unit cannot receive the light from the light emitting unit, and the paper sheet may be erroneously detected. For this reason, in the case of a transport path that can be opened and closed, a detection unit that detects the close of the transport path is provided, and when the transport path is not closed, the passage sensor 202 in the transport position information storage area 12a is changed, and the passage sensor 202 is changed. It is not necessary to perform the process of setting the movement distance information associated with “0” to “0”.
(3) Acquisition of Image Information of Paper Sheets When an attendant manually drives the knobs 15a to 15e, residual paper sheets may pass through the determination unit 3. At this time, the determination unit 3 acquires the partial image information 1001 to 1012 of the paper sheets based on the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X and stores it in the storage unit 12, as shown in FIG. The partial image information 1001 to 1012 is an image acquired every predetermined time, and the width of the partial image information 1001 to 1012 in the transport direction of the paper sheet is the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X during the predetermined time. Note that when the paper sheet is passing through the determination unit 3 and the conveyance path is reversed and the partial image information has already been acquired, the partial image information may not be acquired again. Information may be updated.

The discriminating unit 3 acquires partial image information 1001 to 1012 for all parts of the acquired paper sheet, and synthesizes the partial image information 1001 to 1012 so as to connect them. Whole image information 1013 is acquired. After acquiring the entire image information 1013 of the entire paper sheet, the discrimination information and unique information of the paper sheet are acquired from the entire image information 1013 and stored in the transport position information storage area 12a and the discrimination information storage area 12b. Thereafter, the communication control unit 14e transmits information on the transport position information storage area 12a and the discrimination information storage area 12b to the main body control unit 110. After receiving the information in the transport position information storage area 12a and the discrimination information storage area 12b, the main body control unit 110 acquires the image information of the remaining paper sheets in the clerk operation / display unit 107 and the entire paper sheets obtained by the discrimination unit 3 Update to image information.
(4) Calculation of paper sheet movement distance In the above embodiment, the measurement unit 13 obtains the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X as the paper sheet movement distance, but considering the frictional force of the paper sheet. Then, a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the driving amount of the transport path driving unit 10X may be acquired as the movement distance of the paper sheet.
