Abstract

[Problème] Réduire le temps d'attente des utilisateurs d'un dispositif de traitement de billets de banque. [Solution] Dispositif de traitement de billets de banque comprenant : une unité de distribution qui distribue des billets de banque à un utilisateur ; une unité de distinction qui distingue des billets de banque transportés à l'intérieur du dispositif de traitement de billets de banque ; une première unité de stockage qui stocke des billets de banque ; une seconde unité de stockage qui stocke des billets de banque ; une unité de retenue temporaire qui retient temporairement les billets de banque distingués par l'unité de distinction ; et une unité de commande qui commande le transport de billets de banque selon une instruction de distribution dirigée vers l'unité de distribution. La seconde unité de stockage peut être actionnée dans un état de recyclage dans lequel les billets de banque dans la seconde unité de stockage peuvent être transférés à l'unité de distribution, et dans un état de dépôt uniquement dans lequel les billets de banque ne sont pas transférés à l'unité de distribution. Dans un premier mode de transaction, l'unité de commande commande le transfert de billets de banque à partir de la première unité de stockage et commande également le transport des billets de banque transférés de sorte que ceux des billets de banque transférés qui sont déterminés comme anormaux par l'unité de distinction sont transportés vers la seconde unité de stockage, qui est actuellement dans l'état de dépôt uniquement, sans passer par l'unité de retenue temporaire.
