Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] By the way, in the above money processing apparatus, there are cases where the inspection operation is completed with the unidentifiable money temporarily held during the inspection operation, and cases where the inspection operation is completed without the unidentifiable money, and in either case, the apparatus enters the standby state after the completion of the inspection operation.
[0005] However, when the inspection operation is completed without unidentifiable money and the apparatus enters the standby state, it is possible to perform deposit and withdrawal operations. However, when the inspection operation is completed with unidentifiable money temporarily held and the apparatus enters the standby state, only a payment instruction for the unidentifiable money is possible, and deposit and withdrawal operations cannot be performed.
[0006] That is, in the above money processing device, although it appears to be in a standby state after the completion of the inspection operation, the operation content varies depending on the presence or absence of unidentifiable money, and the procedures after the completion of the inspection operation have been complicated.
[0007] In view of the above actual situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a money processing device and a register system capable of simplifying the procedures after the completion of the inspection operation.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, a money processing device according to the present invention is a money processing device that identifies the deposited money and stores it in a storage bin corresponding to the money type, and pays out the money from the corresponding storage bin at the time of withdrawal. When an inspection start instruction is given in the standby state, it is provided with a control unit that performs an inspection operation of paying out the money stored in the storage bin and storing the paid-out money in the storage bin again while counting. The control unit is characterized in that it transitions to the standby state on the condition that an inspection completion instruction is given after the completion of the inspection operation.
[0009] Further, in the present invention, in the above money processing device, the control unit temporarily holds unidentifiable money in the inspection operation and completes the inspection operation. On the condition that an inspection completion instruction is given, when there is no unidentifiable money, it transitions to the standby state, while when there is unidentifiable money, it performs an inspection completion operation and transitions to the standby state.
[0010] Further, in the present invention, in the above money processing device, the inspection completion operation is characterized in that the unidentifiable money is paid out externally.
[0011] Further, in the present invention, in the above money processing device, the inspection completion operation is characterized in that the unidentifiable money is paid out externally, and the same number of money as the paid-out unidentifiable money is identified and stored in the storage bin.
[0012] Further, in the present invention, in the above-described money processing apparatus, the control unit is characterized in that, in the verification completion operation, when a cancellation instruction is given by a cancellation operation, the control unit causes a transition to the standby state.
[0013] Further, a register system according to the present invention is characterized by including the above-described money processing apparatus.
Effects of the Invention
[0014] According to the present invention, when a verification start instruction is given in the standby state, a control unit that performs a verification operation of paying out the money stored in the storage and storing the paid-out money again while counting it in the storage causes a transition to the standby state on the condition that a verification completion instruction is given after the completion of the verification operation. Therefore, the control unit does not transition to the standby state until a verification completion instruction is given after the completion of the verification operation. Accordingly, after the completion of the verification operation, it is essential to give a verification completion instruction, and the effect that the procedure after the completion of the verification operation can be made simple is achieved.

In its normal state, such a third switching gate 36c is in the conveyance state.
[0033] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the internal structure of the banknote storage unit 20 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The banknote storage unit 20 illustrated here has a banknote deposit port 21 for inserting banknotes and a banknote payout port 22 for paying out the stored banknotes as change formed in the front portion. Further, the front portion of the recovery bin 23 provided in a pull-outable state is exposed at the lower part of the front portion of the banknote storage unit 20.
[0034] Such a banknote storage unit 20 is configured to include, in addition to the banknote deposit port 21, the banknote payout port 22, and the recovery bin 23, a banknote storage bin 24, an inspection bin 25, a banknote conveyance mechanism 26, a banknote discrimination unit 27, and a banknote determination unit 28.
[0035] The bill storage 24 has a thousand-yen bill storage 24a and a mixed storage 24b. The thousand-yen bill storage 24a stores thousand-yen bills with high usage frequency. A motor M71 for dispensing thousand-yen bills is provided in this thousand-yen bill storage 24a. The mixed storage 24b is provided on the rear side of the thousand-yen bill storage 24a, that is, separated from the thousand-yen bill storage 24a by a greater distance than the bill deposit slot 21 and the bill withdrawal slot 22. This mixed storage 24b mainly stores five-thousand-yen bills and ten-thousand-yen bills. A motor M72 for dispensing five-thousand-yen bills or ten-thousand-yen bills is provided in such a mixed storage 24b.
[0036] The inspection storage 25 is provided on the front side of the thousand-yen bill storage 24a, that is, closer to the bill deposit slot 21 and the bill withdrawal slot 22 than the thousand-yen bill storage 24a. This inspection storage 25 temporarily stores bills during an inspection operation of emptying the bills stored in the thousand-yen bill storage 24a and the mixed storage 24b once and recounting the number of bills stored in each bill storage 24. A motor M73 for dispensing the bills temporarily stored is provided in such an inspection storage 25.
[0037] The bill transport mechanism 26 connects the bill deposit slot 21, the bill withdrawal slot 22, the collection storage 23, the bill storage 24, and the inspection storage 25, and transports bills by driving a transport drive motor M74. This transport drive motor M74 drives in response to an instruction from the control unit 50.
[0038] On the transport path of this bill transport mechanism 26, a switching gate G75 is arranged at the entrance and exit with the inspection storage 25, a switching gate G76 is arranged at the entrance and exit with the thousand-yen bill storage 24a, and a switching gate G77 is arranged at the entrance and exit with the mixed storage 24b.
[0039] The bill discriminator 27 is provided on the transport path of the bills deposited from the bill deposit slot 21, and discriminates the authenticity and denomination of the deposited bills while counting the number of bills. The discrimination result in this bill discriminator 27 is sent to the control unit 50 as a signal.
[0040] The banknote discrimination unit 28 is provided in the conveyance path between the inspection bin 25 and the thousand-yen banknote storage, and discriminates the denomination of the banknotes fed out from each banknote storage bin 24 while counting the number of banknotes. The discrimination result in this banknote discrimination unit 28 is sent to the control unit 50 as a signal.
[0041] The operation display unit 30 is provided on the left side of the front upper surface of the coin storage unit 10. This operation display unit 30 is for the entire automatic change dispenser 1 including the coin storage unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 20, and includes a display unit 30a and an operation unit 30b. The display unit 30a is for performing various displays for the operator, and is constituted by, for example, a liquid crystal display. The operation unit 30b is for the operator to input various instructions, and is constituted by, for example, a plurality of push button switches. The communication processing unit 40 performs communication control processing with the POS register device PR.
[0042] The control unit 50 comprehensively controls the operations of each part of the automatic change dispenser 1 according to the programs and data stored in the storage unit 60. This control unit 50 includes a deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 and an inspection control unit 52.
[0043] When money (coins or banknotes) is inserted after a deposit permission instruction is given from the POS register device PR, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 performs a money deposit operation according to the deposit permission instruction, and when a withdrawal instruction is given from the POS register device PR, it performs a money withdrawal operation according to the withdrawal instruction. Also, while executing these deposit and withdrawal operations, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 performs a process of sequentially storing the contents of the executed deposit and withdrawal operations as deposit / withdrawal information 61 in the storage unit 60.
[0044] The inspection control unit 52 controls the inspection operations of the money stored in the coin storage unit 10 and the bill storage unit 20. In accordance with the inspection start instruction from the POS register device PR, the inspection control unit 52 performs an inspection operation to inspect the inventory of the money stored in the storage bins (the coin storage bin 34 and the bill storage bin 24). The inspection operation involves dispensing the money stored in the storage bins, identifying and counting the dispensed money and then transporting it, and then storing the money back into the storage bins while counting it again. The inspection control unit 52 performs a process of storing the inspection details of the storage bins as inspection information 62 in the storage unit 60. Also, the inspection control unit 52 performs the inspection control process described later.
[0045] The operation of the automatic money handling machine 1 having the above configuration will be described. First, the deposit and withdrawal operation of the automatic money handling machine 1 will be described.
[0046] When the deposit and withdrawal control unit 51 of the control unit 50 is given a deposit permission instruction from the POS register device PR through the communication processing unit 40, it transitions the automatic money handling machine 1 from the standby state to the deposit permission state, and monitors the deposits at the coin deposit slot 11 and the bill deposit slot 21 through an input detection sensor (not shown). When there is a deposit from the coin deposit slot 11 or the bill deposit slot 21, the deposit and withdrawal control unit 51 discriminates the money inserted through the coin inspection unit 14 or the bill discrimination unit 27, transports the money to the corresponding coin storage bin 34 or bill storage bin 24 according to the discrimination result, and monitors whether there is a deposit amount request from the POS register device PR through the communication processing unit 40. When there is a deposit amount request, the deposit and withdrawal control unit 51 transmits information regarding the current deposit amount to the POS register device PR through the communication processing unit 40, and then determines whether there is a deposit end instruction from the POS register device PR. When there is a deposit end instruction from the POS register device PR, the deposit and withdrawal control unit 51 sets the automatic money handling machine 1 to the deposit prohibited state, and then monitors whether there is a withdrawal instruction from the POS register device PR.
[0047] When a withdrawal instruction is given from the POS register device PR, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 51 conveys the money stored in the coin storage 34 or the bill storage 24 as change to the coin payout opening 12 or the bill payout opening 22 for payout, completes the deposit / withdrawal operation, and transitions to the standby state.
[0048] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing content of the scrutiny control process performed by the control unit 50 shown in FIG. 2. The operation of the automatic change dispenser 1 will be described while explaining the processing content of such scrutiny control process.
[0049] In the standby state, the scrutiny control unit 52 of the control unit 50 monitors whether a scrutiny start instruction has been given from the POS register device PR through the communication processing unit 40 (step S101). If the scrutiny start instruction has not been given (step S101: No), the scrutiny control unit 52 repeats such processing.
[0050] When the scrutiny start instruction has been given (step S101: Yes), the scrutiny control unit 52 performs a scrutiny operation (step S102). This scrutiny operation will be described separately for the coin storage unit 10 and the bill storage unit 20.
[0051] The scrutiny operation of the coin storage unit 10 is, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 3, to pay out the coins (1-yen coins) stored in the storage to be scrutinized (here, the 1-yen coin storage 34a) one by one from the 1-yen coin storage 34a to the coin payout conveyor 35. At this time, the coins to be paid out are identified and counted by the payout discrimination unit S2a (S2). The coins fed out to the coin payout conveyor 35 are conveyed to the temporary storage unit 32 and temporarily stored. The temporary storage unit 32 stores all the coins in the 1-yen coin storage 34a. Therefore, the 1-yen coin storage 34a becomes empty. Incidentally, the coins that could not be identified by the payout discrimination unit S2a (unidentifiable money) are stored in a predetermined part via the third switching gate 36c.
[0052] The coins held in the temporary storage unit 32 are conveyed to the coin distribution unit 33 via the second switching gate 36b. The coins conveyed to the coin distribution unit 33 are stored in the corresponding coin storage bins 34, here the 1-yen coin storage bin 34a. During this storage, the coins stored are counted by the distribution counting unit S1a (S1). That is, the inspection operation is performed by the circulation of coins through the inspection path L10 in Fig. 3. Note that the inspection operation is also performed for other coins in the same procedure.
[0053] For the inspection operation of the bill storage unit 20, first, the inspection bin 25 is emptied, and for example, the inspection of the mixed bin 24b and the inspection of the 1000-yen bill storage bin 24a are sequentially performed. For the inspection of the mixed bin 24b, first, the bills stored in the mixed bin 24b are fed out to the bill transport mechanism 26, and the bill discrimination unit 28 performs denomination identification and counting. Then, as a result of the denomination identification, the corresponding denominations (for example, 10,000-yen bills, 5000-yen bills, 2000-yen bills) are stored in the inspection bin 25, and the bills that could not be identified (unidentifiable money) are held at a predetermined position. After that, the bills in the inspection bin 25 are transported back to the mixed bin 24b and stored.
[0054] For the inspection of the 1000-yen bill storage bin 24a, similar to the inspection of the mixed bin 24b, first, the bills are fed out from the 1000-yen bill storage bin 24a, transported to and stored in the inspection bin 25. At this time, the bill discrimination unit 28 performs denomination identification and counting. Then, as a result of the denomination identification, the 1000-yen bills are stored in the inspection bin 25, and the bills that could not be identified (unidentifiable money) are held at a predetermined position. After that, the bills in the inspection bin 25 are transported back to the 1000-yen bill storage bin 24a and stored. Thus, the inspection operation of the bill storage unit 20 is completed.
[0055] The inspection control unit 52 that has performed the inspection operation in this way waits for the completion of the inspection operation (step S103). Then, when the inspection operation is completed (step S103: Yes), the inspection control unit 52 monitors whether an inspection completion instruction has been given from the POS register device PR through the communication processing unit 40 (step S104). If the inspection completion instruction has not been given (step S104: No), the inspection control unit 52 repeats such processing.
[0056] When an inspection completion instruction is given (step S104: Yes), the inspection control unit 52 determines whether there is unidentifiable money in the above inspection operation (step S105).
[0057] If there is unidentifiable money (step S105: Yes), as an inspection completion operation, the inspection control unit 52 pays out the unidentifiable money held at a predetermined part from the coin storage unit 10 or the bill storage unit 20 to the outside (step S106), transitions to the standby state (step S107), and then returns the procedure to end the current process.
[0058] On the other hand, if there is no unidentifiable money (step S105: No), the inspection control unit 52 transitions to the standby state without performing the above-described inspection completion operation (step S107), and then returns the procedure to end the current process.
[0059] In this way, the control unit 50 temporarily holds unidentifiable money in the inspection operation to complete the inspection operation. On the condition that an inspection completion instruction is given, when there is no unidentifiable money, it transitions to the standby state, while when there is unidentifiable money, it performs an inspection completion operation of paying out the unidentifiable money to the outside and transitions to the standby state.
[0060] As described above, according to the above automatic coin-changing machine 1 (the money processing device which is an embodiment of the present invention) and the register system 100, the control unit 50 temporarily holds unidentifiable money in the inspection operation to complete the inspection operation. On the condition that an inspection completion instruction is given, when there is no unidentifiable money, it transitions to the standby state, while when there is unidentifiable money, it performs an inspection completion operation of paying out the unidentifiable money to the outside and transitions to the standby state. Therefore, it does not transition to the standby state until an inspection completion instruction is given after the inspection operation is completed. Accordingly, after the inspection operation is completed, it is essential to give an inspection completion instruction, the procedure does not vary depending on the presence or absence of unidentifiable money, and the procedure after the inspection operation is completed can be made simple.
[0061] Also, according to the above-described automatic change dispenser 1 and register system 100, since the control unit 50 pays out unidentifiable money as a scrutiny completion operation, unidentifiable money is not paid out during the scrutiny operation, and there is no risk that unidentifiable money will be taken out by a malicious third party or the like.
[0062] As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made.
[0063] In the above-described embodiment, the scrutiny completion operation was to pay out unidentifiable money to the outside. However, in the present invention, the scrutiny completion operation may be to pay out unidentifiable money to the outside and store the same number of coins as the paid-out unidentifiable money in a storage bin (coin storage bin or bill storage bin) after identifying them. Also in this way, the procedure does not differ depending on the presence or absence of unidentifiable money, and the procedure after the completion of the scrutiny operation can be made simple.
[0064] Moreover, when paying out unidentifiable money to the outside and storing the same number of coins as the paid-out unidentifiable money in a storage bin (coin storage bin or bill storage bin) is the scrutiny completion operation, the control unit may be forced to transition to the standby state without performing the scrutiny completion operation on the condition that a cancellation instruction is given by a cancellation operation of pressing a cancellation button on the operation display unit or a cancellation operation on the POS register device. According to this, when the damage to the unidentifiable money is severe, it is possible to avoid a situation where it is difficult to be identified as genuine money by the coin inspection unit or the bill discriminator and the transition to the standby state does not occur.
[0065] Note that each configuration illustrated in the above-described embodiment is functionally schematic, and it is not necessarily physically configured as illustrated. That is, the form of distribution and integration of each device and component is not limited to that illustrated, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit according to various usage situations and the like.
