Description

Banknote handling equipment

The present invention relates to a banknote handling apparatus that is installed in a financial institution, a sales office, or the like and operates at a sales counter.

In many branches and sales offices of financial institutions, a large amount of banknotes brought to the counter are often processed with a banknote depositing and dispensing machine for tellers. Of the banknotes brought to the counter, banknotes that are determined to be counterfeit by the banknote processing device are often instructed by government agencies to be collected by a staff member. However, in actuality, in order to avoid the trouble and labor of collecting counterfeit bills and avoiding compliments with customers, they are returned to customers and the counterfeit bills are not removed from the market at all.

According to Patent Document 1, a technique is disclosed in which only a deposited counterfeit ticket can be stored in a temporary storage that can be re-delivered. In addition, when a counterfeit ticket and a genuine note are mixed and stored in a temporary storage, five cases are shown, including an example in which the received counterfeit ticket is put directly into the counterfeit ticket BOX. Is described for the operation.

First, the configuration and outline of the paper sheet processing system will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a banknote handling system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The window terminal device 1 is a terminal used by the bank window staff, and the window staff performs processing based on customer requests. The display of the window is usually directed to the person in charge of the window, but may be configured to face the customer side, or may have a screen that faces the customer side as necessary. The window terminal device 1 is connected to the server 3 via a network N1 including a general public line network such as a WAN (Wide Area Network) or a dedicated line. Further, the window terminal device 1 is connected to the banknote processing device 2 via a network N2 configured by a general local line network such as a LAN (Local Area Network). The network N2 may be configured by a bus such as USB (Universal Serial Bus).

The paper sheet processing apparatus 2 is an apparatus used by a person in charge for depositing, withdrawing and arranging paper sheets. The server 3 is a device that manages the banknote processing system 1000, and includes hardware such as a general information processing device such as a host computer. FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which one or two window terminal devices 1 are provided for one paper sheet processing device 2, but when the installation space for the device is wide, the amount of bills handled When there are many, you may connect two or more window terminal apparatuses 1 to one banknote processing apparatus.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a typical configuration of the banknote handling apparatus 2.
The paper sheet processing apparatus 2 is provided with a deposit port 21 and a withdrawal return port 22 in front of the apparatus body.
The deposit port 21 is an input port for inserting banknotes, and the withdrawal / return port 22 is a withdrawal port for discharging the dispensed banknotes or the returned banknotes.

It is provided with banknote cassettes 27a to 27f for storing deposited banknotes or withdrawing banknotes, and these parts are connected by a transport path 26. An identification unit 25 is provided in the middle of the conveyance path 26. The identification unit 25 includes various sensors for determining the authenticity of the banknote, the state, and the characteristics of the banknote, and can acquire a banknote image together with these identification results. The result and the banknote image are stored in a memory (not shown). The conveyance path 26 is provided with a plurality of passage sensors that detect passage of banknotes, a gate that switches the conveyance direction of banknotes, a conveyance roller that conveys banknotes, and a motor that drives the conveyance rollers. In addition, the deposit port 21 and the withdrawal / return port 22 are provided with a bill detection sensor for detecting that a bill has been conveyed. Note that driving of each of the above-described units, for example, driving of the rollers in the conveyance path, switching of the distribution gate in the conveyance path, and the like is driven and controlled by a control unit (not shown).

In a typical example of this configuration, the banknote cassettes 27a to 27c are cassettes that can be recirculated, and the banknote cassette 27d is fed from the cassette, but is a collection box that collects banknotes that are not suitable for withdrawal or banknotes that are not returned. It is. The banknote cassette 27e is a temporary storage for temporarily storing banknotes determined to be counterfeit at the time of deposit, and the banknote cassette 27f is a recovery cassette for recovering counterfeits.

The configuration of the window terminal device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The window terminal device 1 is a device for a window person to operate, and the hardware includes general information processing such as a PC (Personal Computer). Consists of devices. As shown in FIG. 3, in the window terminal device 1, a display unit 11, an operation unit 12, a storage unit 13, and a communication unit 14 are connected to the control unit 10. Further, the window terminal device 1 has an authentication device 15 such as a fingerprint sensor or a card reader for authenticating a user, and a printing device 16 such as a printer for outputting various documents to be described later. Moreover, the display part 11 may be provided with the display part for customers, and the customer can confirm the result of the transaction which he actually carried out. The display unit 11 may also have the function of the operation unit 12.

Next, the depositing operation of the banknote handling apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The banknotes brought in by the customer are set in the deposit port 21, passed from the deposit port 21 through the identification unit 25, and stored in each cassette based on the result of denomination by the identification unit 25. In this example, up to three denominations are stored in the banknote cassettes 27a to 27c (route R1 to R3), and denominations that are not recirculated are stored in the banknote cassette 27d (route R4). Moreover, in the identification part 25, the banknote which was abnormal in conveyance and indistinguishable is returned to the withdrawal return port 22 (route R5).

At the time of withdrawal, as shown in FIG. 5, the bills stored in the bill cassettes 27a to 27c can be withdrawn (routes R11 to R13, R15). The banknotes identified as unsuitable for withdrawal by the identification unit 25 are collected in the banknote cassette 27d (route R14). Also, banknotes stored in the

banknote cassettes

27e and 27f in lane # 5 can be withdrawn (routes R16 and R17). In this case, a medium is intermittently paid out from the

banknote cassette

27e or 27f, and proceeds to the right on the paper surface at the position of the conveyance path above lane # 4 (for example, a banknote fed out from the

banknote cassettes

27e and 27f). When the former is fed out and transported by a certain number so that the medium (for example, the bills fed from the

bill cassettes

27a, 27b, and 27c and identified by the identification unit 25) does not collide, the latter is fed out. Is controlled, and when the latter is fed out by a predetermined number, the former is controlled to be stopped.

In this case, since the collection cassette is arranged in the banknote cassette 27d, the withdrawal from the banknote cassette 27d cannot be performed, but the arrangement of the cassette can be arbitrarily changed. For example, the collection box is arranged in the lane # 5. By arranging the reflux cassette in lane # 4, withdrawal from lane # 4 becomes possible. (Not shown)
In the above example, the cassette set in the cassette lanes 1 to 4 is one room. For example, when there are many denominations, a two-stage cassette should be used in all lanes as shown in FIG. You can also. In this case, for example, if the banknote cassette 27g is used as a medium collection box, the reflux cassette can be divided into a maximum of nine types of banknote cassettes 27a to 27f and banknote cassettes 27h to 27j as shown in FIG. .

Next, a case where a fake ticket is detected in the system having the above configuration will be described with reference to the charts of FIGS. 7 and 10 and FIGS.

When the counter person in charge sets the banknote brought in by the customer into the deposit port 21 and the counter person in charge instructs the execution of the deposit process from the operation unit 12 of the counter terminal apparatus 1, the control unit of the banknote processing apparatus 2 deposits the banknote. Processing is started (S1001). The control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 determines whether or not the identification unit 25 has detected a counterfeit (S1002), and determines that the identification unit 25 has not detected a counterfeit (S1002; No), that is, When it is determined that the deposited banknote is a normal banknote, as described above, the banknote is transported and stored in the reflux boxes 27a to 27c, and the process is terminated through the processes of S1015 and S1016. The processing of S1015 and S1016 will be described later.

On the other hand, when it determines with the control part of the banknote processing apparatus 2 having detected the fake note (S1002; Yes), ie, when it determines with a deposited banknote not being a normal banknote, the said banknote is banknote cassette 27e. (S1003, route R21 in FIG. 7).

The control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 determines whether or not the number of detected counterfeit bills is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (S1004), and determines that the number of counterfeit bills is not equal to or greater than the predetermined number (S1004; No). In order to output the customer confirmation screen shown in FIG. 11, counterfeit ticket information indicating the result identified by the identifying unit 25 is output to the counter terminal device 1, and the control unit 21 of the counter terminal device 1 controls the counterfeit ticket. A confirmation button B indicating that the ticket is approved together with the information is displayed on the display unit 11, and it is determined whether or not the confirmation button B is pressed (S1005, FIG. 11).

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a customer confirmation screen. As shown in FIG. 11, on the customer confirmation screen, as counterfeit ticket information, a serial number 1101 for identifying the counterfeit ticket, a denomination of the counterfeit ticket 1102, and the counterfeit ticket are detected as counterfeit tickets. The reason 1103 is displayed in association with each other. As the reason 1103, for example, the reason for determining a counterfeit note is described, for example, there is no watermark pattern that should be present on the banknote of the denomination. Further, on the customer confirmation screen, together with these pieces of information, an image image P1 on the front surface of the counterfeit ticket and an image image P2 on the back surface are displayed as counterfeit ticket information. By displaying such an image, it is possible to grasp at a glance what kind of image the actual counterfeit ticket is. The control unit of the banknote processing apparatus 2 can extract the fake ticket information from the identification result and the banknote image acquired by the identification unit 25. Further, a confirmation button B for approving and agreeing to be a fake ticket is displayed on the customer confirmation screen, and the customer presses the confirmation button B according to an instruction from the person in charge of the counter.

As will be described later, when the customer agrees that it is a fake ticket, usually, the customer confirmation receipt on which the same information as the customer confirmation screen is printed is self-signed and handed to the person in charge of the window. However, when the display unit 11 of the window terminal device 1 is configured by a device (for example, a touch panel) that also has the operation unit 12, the control unit 21 of the window terminal device 1 displays the signature field S on the customer confirmation screen. May be displayed and a signature from the customer may be received. In this case, it is possible to omit procedures such as the printing process of the customer confirmation receipt and the delivery of the printed customer confirmation receipt to the customer.
After confirmation of the customer, a receipt indicating that a fake note describing the characteristics of the fake note, etc., as shown in FIG. 12, is printed and delivered to the customer.

When it is determined that the confirmation button has been pressed by the customer (S1005; Yes), the control unit 21 of the window terminal device 1 prints a customer confirmation receipt from the printing device 15 (S1006). The printed customer confirmation receipt is handed to the customer by the person in charge of the counter, signed by the customer, returned to the person in charge of the customer, and securely stored in a storage box or other storage box with security measures such as locking. Is done.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a customer confirmation receipt. As shown in FIG. 12, the customer confirmation receipt has the same serial number 1201 as the customer confirmation screen shown in FIG. 11, the denomination of the fake ticket 1202, and the reason 1203 that the fake ticket was detected as a fake ticket. The image image P1 on the front surface of the counterfeit note and the image image P2 on the back surface are printed. The customer confirmation receipt is printed with a customer signature field S and a contact person's signature field S '. The reason why the signature column S 'of the person in charge is printed is to grasp who has responded to the customer who brought in the fake ticket.

In S1006, when the customer confirmation receipt is output from the printing device 16, the control unit of the banknote processing device 2 feeds out the fake bill that is conveyed and stored up to the banknote cassette 27e in S1003, and passes through the identification unit 25. It is transported to and stored in the bill cassette 17f (S1007, route R22 in FIG. 8). When the processing is executed, the bill cassette 27e is emptied, and it is possible to prevent a mixture of counterfeit bills detected in the transaction of the customer and counterfeit bills found before that. Can be performed.

In S1005, when the control unit 21 of the window terminal device 1 determines that the confirmation button is not pressed (S1005; No), the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 feeds out the accepted counterfeit bill from the banknote cassette 27e. It is transported to the withdrawal port and the actual product is confirmed (S1008, route R23 in FIG. 9). After that, the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 accepts the counterfeit ticket that has been confirmed by the customer by the counter person in charge from the deposit port 21 again, and directly conveys and stores it to the banknote cassette 27f (S1009). At the time of storage, since the same counterfeit information as the counterfeit information previously identified in S1003 by the identifying unit 25 is obtained as the identification result, the control unit of the banknote processing device 2 identifies the same counterfeit information. When it determines with having been carried out, it can convey directly to the banknote cassette 27f, without passing through the banknote cassette 27e. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the counterfeit processing after the customer confirms the actual product, to prevent mixing of the counterfeit bills as described above, and to manage the counterfeit bills correctly for each customer.

In the above embodiment, the case where the banknote cassette 27e is used as a temporary storage of counterfeit bills and the banknote cassette 27f is used as a storage of counterfeit bills is described. In the case of collecting, it is also possible to use the banknote cassette 27e as a storage for counterfeit bills and the banknote cassette 27f as a reflux depot for other denominations. In this case, it is possible to manage which banknote is brought in by which customer by reading the serial number information included in the identification result obtained by the identification unit 25. In this case, when the banknote transported from the banknote cassette 27e to the withdrawal / return port 22 by the control unit of the banknote processing apparatus 2 for confirmation is stored again, it may be returned to the banknote cassette 27e.

In the above example, the explanation is based on the premise that the counterfeit ticket is withdrawn. However, the counterfeit ticket may be withdrawn after determining whether to withdraw the counterfeit ticket. For example, the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 issues an instruction to output a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not the counterfeit bill stored in the banknote cassette 27e is paid out and withdrawn from the withdrawal return port 22. 1, the control unit 21 of the window terminal device 1 outputs the confirmation screen stored in the storage unit 13 in advance to the display unit 11 according to the instruction, and withdraws the fake ticket from the confirmation screen. The control unit 21 of the counter terminal device 1 may output the selection result to the banknote processing device 2, and the control unit of the banknote processing device 2 may withdraw the counterfeit bill according to the selection result.

In the above example, the counterfeit ticket is withdrawn and then collected directly into the collection box. However, the counterfeit ticket is directly stored in the collection box according to the identification result by the identification unit 25 without withdrawing the counterfeit ticket. Also good.

In S1007 and S1009, when a counterfeit note is stored in the bill cassette 27f, the process proceeds to S1015, and the control unit of the bill processing apparatus 2 transmits the counterfeit ticket information identified by the identification unit 25 to the counter terminal device 1, and the counter The control unit 10 of the terminal device 1 includes the fake ticket information received from the banknote processing device 2, customer information (for example, customer ID, account number, name, address) input from the operation unit 21, and the window terminal device 1. The transaction information (for example, transaction ID, transaction date and time) set by the control unit 10 is associated and transmitted to the server 3. The control unit of the server 3 accumulates these data for each customer for each date in a storage device (not shown) such as a disk. An example of data stored in the server 3 will be described later with reference to FIG.

Thereafter, the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 determines whether or not the output timing of the monthly report has arrived (S1015). This determination may be made based on whether or not a timer (not shown) included in the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 has reached a predetermined date and time as the output date and time of the monthly report. When the control unit of the banknote processing device 2 determines that the output timing of the monthly report has arrived (S1015; Yes), the control unit 21 of the window terminal device 1 performs a server between the previous output timing and the current output timing. 3 obtains the fake ticket information, the customer information, and the transaction information stored in 3 and outputs a monthly report including the obtained information from the printing device 16 (S1016), and ends the process. When the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 determines that the output timing of the monthly report has not arrived (S1015; No), the process is terminated as it is.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a monthly report (second government report).
The monthly report is a report for reporting a counterfeit ticket detected in a predetermined cycle (in this example, a monthly cycle) to the government office in that cycle and discriminating it in the government office. In this example, the report is output in a monthly cycle. However, for example, when the detection frequency of counterfeit bills is high, the report may be output in a weekly cycle in order to report to the government office more frequently.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the monthly report, an output month 1301 of the report, a government office 1302 as a report destination, and detailed information 1303 regarding the detected fake ticket are printed. Further, the detailed information 1303 includes a fake ticket detection date 13031, a branch 13032 from which a fake ticket is detected, detailed information 13033 of a customer who has deposited the fake ticket, a denomination of the detected fake ticket, The counterfeit ticket information 13034 such as the serial number, the reason for detection as a counterfeit ticket, and the counterfeit ticket information 13035 such as an image image of the counterfeit ticket are output in association with each other.

The output month 1301 may output the output date and time determined by the control unit of the banknote processing apparatus 2. The government office 1302 serving as the report destination may output a branch having jurisdiction over the banknote handling apparatus 2 stored in the storage unit 13 of the window terminal apparatus 1 in advance. As the detailed information 1303, in addition to the fake ticket information (FIG. 11) for outputting the customer confirmation screen, the number of fake tickets identified by the identifying unit 25 is output.

The counterfeit bills stored in the banknote cassette 27f are stored together with the monthly report in a bank branch for a predetermined period (for example, one month) and then submitted together to a predetermined government office (police, central bank). Is done. Thus, by outputting and printing a monthly report, it is possible to easily grasp the characteristics of the discovered counterfeit ticket, the date and time of discovery, the customer who brought the counterfeit ticket, and the like.

In S1004 of FIG. 10, when the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 determines that the number of counterfeit bills is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (S1004; Yes), the control unit 25 of the window terminal device 1 immediately reports to the government office. It is determined whether or not is selected (S1010). The determination as to whether or not the immediate report to the government office has been selected is determined, for example, by using the “immediate report to government office” button displayed on the display unit 11 of the window terminal device 1 as a trigger. do it.

When the control unit 25 of the window terminal device 1 determines that the immediate report to the government office has been selected (S1010; Yes), the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 feeds out the counterfeit bill stored in the banknote cassette 27e in S1003. The control unit 25 of the window terminal device 1 prints a report for reporting to the government office that discriminates counterfeit bills from the printing device 15 (S1012). The printed report for reporting is a report for discrimination in the government office, and is sent to the government office immediately by the counter person in charge together with the fake ticket transported in S1011. If a counterfeit note exceeding the specified number is detected, the customer who brought the counterfeit ticket may be involved in the crime, and it is necessary to immediately report the note to the specified government office (police, central bank). Become. Therefore, even during a transaction, a report for reporting is created on the spot as described above.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a report for reporting to a government office (first government report for reporting). As shown in FIG. 14, in the report for reporting, a bank 1401 in which a counterfeit note is detected, a government office 1402 as a report destination, a report date 1403, and detailed information 1403 on the detected counterfeit note are output. Further, the detailed information 1403 includes a counterfeit denomination 14041, a serial number 14042, an amount of money 14043, detailed information 14043 of the customer who deposited the counterfeit ticket, and an image image P1 corresponding to the detected counterfeit ticket, P2 is output in association with it. The denomination 14041, the serial number 14042, the amount of money 14043, and the image images P1 and P2 are the same information as the fake ticket information identified by the identification unit 25. The detailed customer information 14043 is the same information as the customer information input from the window terminal device 1.

In addition to the information shown in FIG. 14, the report for reporting includes, for example, a serial number of a banknote processing apparatus that has detected a counterfeit, and a counterfeit management number indicating a serial number for uniquely identifying the counterfeit. May be included. Further, it is also possible to give history information that brought a fake ticket in the past from the customer information stored in the server 3.

In S1010, when the control unit 25 of the window terminal device 1 determines that the immediate report to the government office is not selected (S1010; No), the customer confirmation receipt is received from the printing device 15 as in S1006 and S1007. After printing (S1013, FIG. 12), the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 pays out the counterfeit bills that are transported and stored up to the banknote cassette 27e in S1003, and transports them to the banknote cassette 17f via the identification unit 25 for storage. (S1014, route R22 in FIG. 8).

In S1012, S1014, when a counterfeit note is stored in the bill cassette 27f, the process proceeds to S1015, and in the same manner as in S1007, S1009, the counterfeit note information and transaction information are transmitted to the server (S1015), and a monthly report is output. (S1016, S1017).

As described above, in this embodiment, when a counterfeit ticket is detected, by performing a series of procedures related to the processing of the counterfeit ticket with the apparatus, it is possible to reduce the effort of the teller at the time of counterfeit ticket detection. It can be recovered.

The fake bills stored in the bill cassette 27f in S1007, S1009, and S1014 and the fake bills withdrawn in S1011 are then mailed to a predetermined government office for reporting, and further detailed discrimination is performed. After discrimination by a prescribed government office, the counterfeit ticket is returned to the bank branch where it was detected again. In addition, a counterfeit ticket returned from a prescribed government office may require a certain period of storage within the bank (for example, a storage period of 3 years). It is often done. Accordingly, the fake ticket information, customer information, and transaction information are accumulated in the server 3 for at least the predetermined period or more. Further, when the returned counterfeit ticket is inspected, the returned counterfeit note must be deposited into the banknote processing apparatus, and the counterfeit ticket must be properly managed in the bank where the counterfeit ticket is detected. Therefore, as in the case of detecting a counterfeit note, a certain amount of effort is applied to the teller even during the inspection of the counterfeit note. A method for reducing the effort of the teller during the inspection will be described below.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of data stored in the server 3. As shown in FIG. 15, the data stored in the server 3 includes date 1501, branch 1502, transaction information 1503, customer information 1504, denomination, number of sheets, serial number 1505, reason, image 1506, shipping date 1507, return Date 1508, storage period 1509, scheduled inspection date 1510, and inspection date 1511. The items of date 1501, branch 1502, transaction information 1503, customer information 1504, denomination, number of sheets, serial number 1505, reason, and image 1506 are the same items as the monthly report shown in FIG. Information received from the device 2. The shipping date 1507 stores the date on which the customer confirmation receipt (FIG. 12), the report for reporting (FIG. 14), and the monthly report (FIG. 13) are actually sent together with the counterfeit ticket and counterfeit ticket. The date 1507 includes, for example, date 1501, branch 1502, transaction information 1503, customer information 1504, denomination, number of sheets, serial number 1505, and other key information from the operation unit 12 of the window terminal device 1 by the window person in charge. The control unit 10 may transmit the data to the server 3 and the control unit of the server 3 may store the item in the item.

As the return date 1508, the date when the fake ticket is actually returned from a predetermined government office is stored. The return date 1508 may be input by the person in charge of the window and stored in the item by the control unit of the server 3 in the same manner as the date 1507. The storage period 1509 stores the storage period of the counterfeit ticket returned from a predetermined government office. The storage period 1509 may be calculated by storing the predetermined period when the control unit of the server 3 stores the return date 1508 and storing it in the item. The scheduled inspection date 1510 is a fixed interval (for example, 6 years for a storage period of 3 years) in order to inspect that a counterfeit note is stored without being lost on the bank side after the counterfeit note is returned from a predetermined government office. The scheduled inspection date (monthly inspection interval) is stored. The scheduled inspection date 1510 is calculated when the control unit of the server 3 stores the return date 1508 and calculates a predetermined scheduled inspection date (for example, six months after the return date) and stores it in the item. That's fine. The inspection date 1511 stores the date on which the above inspection was actually executed after the counterfeit ticket was returned from a predetermined government office. When the banknote processing device 2 executes the inspection process, the inspection date 1511 is transmitted to the server 3 via the window terminal device 1, and the control unit of the server 3 stores the item in the item. Good.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a counterfeit ticket is conveyed in an inspection process performed in a bank. As shown in FIG. 16, in the inspection process, the counter person in charge sets the counterfeit ticket returned from the predetermined government office in the deposit port 21 as in the case of S1001 in FIG. When the execution of the inspection process is instructed from the operation unit 12, the control unit of the banknote processing apparatus 2 starts a banknote deposit process. The control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 determines whether or not the same counterfeit note as the counterfeit note detected by the identification unit 25 has been detected in the past. For example, the identification unit 25 may compare the counterfeit information detected in the past with the counterfeit information detected by the inspection, and if the two match, it may be determined that the same counterfeit has been detected.

If the control unit 10 of the counter terminal device 1 determines that the control unit of the banknote processing device 2 has detected the same counterfeit bill as the counterfeit ticket detected by the identification unit 25 in the past, the control unit 10 of the counter terminal device 1 displays the inspection result (inspection). Is normal). On the other hand, if the control unit 10 of the counter terminal device 1 determines that the control unit of the banknote processing device 2 has not detected the same counterfeit bill as the counterfeit ticket detected by the identification unit 25 in the past, Output the inspection result (the inspection was abnormal). In any case, the inspected counterfeit is returned to the withdrawal port 22 via the route R31 shown in FIG. 16 without being stored in the banknote cassette. The returned fake ticket is stored in the original storage location by the person in charge of the window.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the inspection result output in the inspection process. As shown in FIG. 17, the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 includes, for example, the inspected counterfeit serial number 1701, the counterfeit ticket detection date 1702, the inspection result 1703, the counterfeit ticket inspection date 1704, The next scheduled inspection date 1705, the inspection number 1706, the remaining number of inspections 1707, and the remaining inspection period 1708 are displayed.

Fake ticket serial number 1701, fake ticket detection date 1702, fake ticket inspection date 1704, next inspection scheduled date 1705, data serial number 15045, date 1501, inspection date 1511, scheduled inspection date shown in FIG. The information is the same as 1510. The inspection result 1703 stores the result of the inspection by the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2. As a result of the inspection, for example, a message such as “It is the same fake ticket as the detected fake ticket” or “It is a fake ticket different from the detected fake ticket” may be displayed. In the latter case, it is possible to easily grasp that the counterfeit ticket is properly managed, such as whether the counterfeit ticket has been replaced or has been erroneously returned from a predetermined government office.

In the inspection time 1706, the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 determines whether or not the inspection date has arrived from the return date 1508, the storage time limit 1509, and the inspection interval (for example, every six months after the return date). When it is determined that the inspection date has arrived, the number of inspections this time is calculated and the result is output. In addition, what is necessary is just to output the period until the test | inspection date of a fake bill banknote, when the control part 10 of the window terminal device 1 determines with the inspection date of a fake bill banknote not having arrived. The remaining number of inspections 1707 is information obtained by calculating a period from the date when the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 executes the inspection process to the storage time limit 1509 and dividing the result by the inspection interval. The remaining inspection period 1708 is information that the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 calculates and outputs a period from the date when the inspection process is executed to the storage time limit 1509.

In this example, the remaining number of inspections 1707 and the remaining inspection period 1708 are calculated on the basis of the period until the storage deadline 1509. However, the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 uses the current date and time, the inspection date of the counterfeit bill, and the inspection interval. , The period until the next inspection and the next scheduled inspection date are output, and among the data stored in the server 3 together with the period, the false inspection date 1510 is the next scheduled inspection date. The serial number of the bill may be output. In this case, when the period until the next inspection is less than a certain period (for example, the period until the next inspection date is less than 14 days), alarm information indicating that the next inspection is imminent may be output. In addition, after a counterfeit note is detected and the counterfeit note is returned from a predetermined government office, the counterfeit note is re-transported a plurality of times and inspected (for example, an inspection interval every six months for a storage period of 3 years) If so, a total of six inspections) are performed. Therefore, each time an inspection is performed, the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 updates the next scheduled inspection date and determines whether the inspection date of the counterfeit bill has arrived with respect to the updated scheduled inspection date. However, as described above, together with the result of the determination, if the period until the updated inspection is less than a certain period, alarm information indicating that the next inspection is imminent may be output. Further, in this example, the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 has been described on the premise that the inspection result is output to the display unit 11, but the control unit of the banknote handling apparatus 2 has the same function, and the display unit 11 performs the inspection. It is also possible to output the result.

Thus, in the inspection process, the control unit 10 of the window terminal device 1 accesses the server 3 at the time of executing the process, acquires the data accumulated up to that point, and the processing result by the banknote processing device 2, Output to the display unit 11. Although the case where the inspection result is displayed on the display unit 11 has been described in this example, the same information may be printed from the printing device 16 in order to store the inspection result together with a fake ticket and various reports. Furthermore, the remaining inspection period 1708 shown in FIG. 17 may be displayed on the display unit 11 when the window terminal device 1 is activated. In this case, not only the timing at which the inspection is performed, but also each time the window terminal device 1 is used, the window person in charge can grasp the number of days until the next inspection, and the troublesomeness that must be memorized can be reduced. it can. By outputting the inspection results as described above, it is possible to save the trouble of having to manage the inspection schedule by the person in charge at the window.

In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which a bank counter person in charge operates the window terminal device 1, but a customer who deposits banknotes can also operate the window terminal device 1 directly. In that case, the window terminal device 1 is installed facing the customer so that the deposit port 21 is in front, and when a counterfeit bill is found, the customer himself checks the counterfeit ticket on the surface, and the window terminal The receipt is received from the printing device 16 of the device 1, and the counterfeit bill temporarily stored in the bill cassette 25e is stored in the bill cassette 27f with the customer's approval (for example, pressing of the confirmation button B shown in FIG. 11) as a trigger.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, a series of flows relating to the processing of counterfeit bills can be automated by the banknote processing system, and counterfeit bills can be managed with high accuracy, and banknotes brought in by customers can be processed at high speed. Furthermore, when a counterfeit bill is detected, an appropriate document can be created according to the number of sheets, and the labor of the teller can be greatly reduced.
