Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated teller machine, a currency management method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, automated transaction devices such as ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) that are widely used in financial institutions are used as cash terminals for multiple financial institutions such as banks and credit card companies. Such automated transaction devices are mainly operated based on recycle operation and non-recycle operation. In recycle operation, a safe for dispensing and a safe for storing are collectively controlled by a common stacker box. In non-recycle operation, a separate stacker box for dispensing and a safe for storing are separately controlled by a reject box.

[0003] For example, a technology has been proposed for a currency processing device that is configured so that the stored currency can be used in either a recycled or non-recycled mode when conducting currency deposit and withdrawal transactions, and that sets the mode of operation according to the requirements of the current deposit and withdrawal transaction status (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2001-307180 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, ATM users may suffer from infectious diseases such as the common cold or the new coronavirus, and even in such cases, the ATM cannot detect whether the user is suspected of having an infectious disease. Therefore, when bills, coins, and other currency deposited by a user who has an infectious disease or is suspected of having an infectious disease are deposited through recycling operations, there is a possibility that the currency may have bacteria or viruses on it and be stored in the stacker box. In this case, a user who operates the ATM later may have to dispense currency that may have bacteria or viruses on it, which may lead to avoiding the use of the ATM, and ultimately to a decrease in the operating rate.

[0006] On the other hand, if only non-recycle operation is performed and recycling operation is not performed, the amount of currency in the ATM will decrease, and the ATM will have to be frequently replenished with currency, resulting in increased operating costs.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an automated transaction device that can prevent a decrease in operating rate due to use by an infected person and reduce operating costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention is an automatic transaction device comprising a stacker box for storing coins by denomination and for depositing and withdrawing them, a reject box for storing coins and for only depositing coins, a temperature measurement unit for measuring the body temperature of a user of the automatic transaction device, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the automatic transaction device, wherein the control unit sets the device to a recycle operation in which the deposited coins are stored in the stacker box when the user's body temperature measured by the body temperature measurement unit is below a threshold value, and sets the device to a non-recycle operation in which the deposited coins are stored in the reject box when the user's body temperature measured by the body temperature measurement unit is above a threshold value.

[0009] The present invention also relates to a currency management method executed by an automatic transaction device that includes a stacker box for storing currency by denomination and for depositing and withdrawing currency, a reject box for storing currency and for only depositing currency, a temperature measurement unit for measuring the temperature of a user of the automatic transaction device, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the automatic transaction device, wherein if the user's body temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit is below a threshold value, a recycle operation is set in which the deposited currency is stored in the stacker box, and if the user's body temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit is above the threshold value, a non-recycle operation is set in which the deposited currency is stored in the reject box.

[0010] The present invention is also characterized in that a computer of an automatic transaction device which includes a stacker box for storing currency by denomination and for depositing and withdrawing currency, a reject box for storing currency and for only depositing currency, a body temperature measurement unit for measuring the body temperature of a user of the automatic transaction device, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the automatic transaction device, executes a process to set a recycle operation in which the deposited currency is stored in the stacker box if the body temperature of the user measured by the body temperature measurement unit is below a threshold value, and to set a non-recycle operation in which the deposited currency is stored in the reject box if the body temperature of the user measured by the body temperature measurement unit is above the threshold value. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a decrease in operating rate due to use by infected people and reduce operating costs. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] A financial system including an automated transaction device according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a financial system 1 according to the present embodiment.

[0014] The financial system 1 is used in an automated teller machine that deposits and withdraws cash such as bills and coins managed in, for example, a distribution store, department store, or supermarket that is affiliated with a bank or a credit card company. The financial system 1 can also be used in an automated teller machine that manages cash, such as an ATM. In the following, an ATM will be described as an example of an automated teller machine. In this description, cash is not limited to bills and coins, but also includes securities such as checks and bills, and media having monetary value such as tickets.

[0015] Financial system 1 has an ATM 2 and multiple host servers 3-1 to 3-n (n≧1). The ATM 2 and each of the host servers 3-1 to 3-n are connected to each other via a network N. Each of the host servers 3-1 to 3-n manages information on cash transactions made at the ATM 2. When there is no need to distinguish between each of the host servers 3-1 to 3-n, they will hereinafter be referred to as "host server 3." Note that financial system 1 may have other configurations not shown in FIG. 1.

[0016] In this embodiment, the term "deposit transaction" refers to a deposit transaction carried out between the ATM 2 and the bank's host server 3, and a repayment transaction and a deposit transaction carried out between the ATM 2 and the credit card company's host server 3. In this embodiment, the term "payment transaction" refers to a payment transaction carried out between the ATM 2 and the bank's host server 3, and a cash advance transaction and a withdrawal transaction carried out between the ATM 2 and the credit card company's host server 3.

[0017] One example of a card used in ATM 2 is a bank card that stores information related to the bank account of the user of ATM 2 on a magnetic stripe or IC (Integrated Circuit) chip. The recorded data stored on the bank card includes financial institution information such as a bank code, branch number, account number, etc. Financial institution information will be described later.

[0018] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the ATM 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the ATM 2 has a control unit 10, a memory unit 11, a communication unit 12, a display unit 13, an input unit 14, a sterilization unit 15, a wireless communication unit 16, a reading unit 17, a body temperature measurement unit 18, and a cash storage unit 19. The ATM 2 may also have other circuit elements not shown in Fig. 2.

[0019] The control unit 10 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or the like, and controls the overall operation of the ATM 2. Specifically, the control unit 10 sequentially executes programs stored in the storage unit 11 to perform communication processing with external devices such as the host server 3 connected via the network N in Fig. 1, and transaction processing such as deposit transactions, payment transactions, account authentication, balance inquiries, and settlements.

[0020] The storage unit 11 includes a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage unit 11 stores various information such as programs executed by the control unit 10. The storage unit 11 also provides a working area for the control unit 10 to execute the programs.

[0021] The communication unit 12 performs communication via the network N of the financial system 1 under the control of the control unit 10. The ATM 2 transmits and receives data to and from the host servers 3-1 to 3-n of the financial system 1 by performing communication via the communication unit 12.

[0022] The display unit 13 is a device such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) that displays a transaction screen, messages, etc. to a user of the ATM 2. The input unit 14 is a device that accepts operational inputs from a user of the ATM 2. In this embodiment, the display unit 13 and the input unit 14 are configured by an integrally formed touch panel. Note that the display unit 13 and the input unit 14 may be separate devices. The sterilization unit 15 is a device that sterilizes the transaction screen displayed by the display unit 13. The sterilization unit 15 is a device that has a function of sterilizing the transaction screen, such as an ultraviolet ray generator, an LED generator, or an ozone generator.

[0023] The wireless communication unit 16 is a communication interface that performs close-proximity wireless communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication) under the control of the control unit 10. The wireless communication unit 16 is provided, for example, near the input unit 14 of the ATM 2 housing, and performs close-proximity wireless communication with a mobile terminal (not shown) such as a smartphone when a user of the ATM 2 brings the mobile terminal close to the wireless communication unit 16.

[0024] The reading unit 17 reads the magnetic stripe or IC chip of a bank card or credit card. The body temperature measuring unit 18 is a temperature sensor such as an infrared sensor, and measures the body temperature of a user of the ATM 2. The body temperature measuring unit 18 may also measure the body temperature of a user of the ATM 2 based on a temperature received from a temperature sensor placed outside the ATM 2 via the communication unit 12.

[0025] The cash storage unit 19 is a device for inputting and outputting cash. The cash storage unit 19 has a stacker box 20 and a reject box 21.

[0026] The stacker box 20 stores currency in the ATM 2 so that it can be deposited and withdrawn (hereinafter also referred to as "deposit / withdrawal"). The stacker box 20 manages currency by denomination. As described below, multiple stacker boxes 20 are provided for each denomination. The stacker boxes 20 manage banknote denominations and coin denominations separately.

[0027] The reject box 21 stores the banknotes in the ATM 2 so that they can only be deposited. There may be multiple reject boxes 21. The reject boxes 21 may separately manage banknotes and coins.

[0028] Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the cash storage unit 19. As shown in Fig. 3, the cash storage unit 19 has a stacker box 20, a reject box 21, a cassette box 22, a discrimination unit 23, and a deposit / withdrawal unit 24. In addition, the cash storage unit 19 may have other components not shown in Fig. 3.

[0029] The stacker box 20 includes a stacker box 20a, a stacker box 20b, and a stacker box 20c. The stacker box 20a stores spare banknotes. The stacker box 20b stores banknotes of the denomination of 10,000 yen notes. The stacker box 20c stores banknotes of the denomination of 1,000 yen notes.

[0030] The stacker box 20 is used in a recycle operation in which deposited coins are returned for use when the body temperature of the user of the ATM 2 measured by the body temperature measuring unit 18 is below a threshold. For example, "37.5 degrees" can be used as the threshold. The threshold can be set to any value. Recycle operation is an operation method in which coins stored in the cash storage unit 19 are used again as coins to be dispensed when making a withdrawal. In the case of recycle operation, coins stored in the stacker box 20 are returned as coins to be dispensed again.

[0031] The reject box 21 stores banknotes that have been determined by the validator 23 to be damaged or unknown, or banknotes that have been determined to have been sent multiple times (also called double feed). The reject box 21 has reject box 21a and reject box 21b. The reject box 21a stores damaged or unknown cash that is managed by financial institution A and occurs during transactions with financial institution A. The reject box 21b stores damaged or unknown cash that is managed by financial institution B and occurs during transactions with financial institution B. The deposit / withdrawal unit 24 accepts and dispenses cash.

[0032] The reject box 21 is used in non-recycle operation in which deposited coins are recycled and not used when the body temperature of the user of the ATM 2 measured by the body temperature measurement unit 18 is equal to or higher than a threshold value. Non-recycle operation is an operation method in which coins stored in the cash storage unit 19 are used as coins that will not be dispensed again when making a withdrawal. In non-recycle operation, coins stored in the reject box 21 are not recycled to be dispensed again.

[0033] The cassette box 22 stores coins to be replenished in the stacker box 20. The cassette box 22 is also used for the purpose of evacuating coins in advance before the storage capacity of the stacker box 20 overflows. The validator 23 validates the denomination of coins deposited from the deposit / withdrawal unit 24. The validator 23 may also discriminate damaged bills.

[0034] Below, an overview of cash transfer within the cash storage unit 19 will be described. For example, a case will be described in which the body temperature of a user of the ATM 2 is below a threshold value and the ATM 2 is operating in a recycling mode.

[0035] When depositing, the denomination of the banknotes inserted through the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 is discriminated as they pass through the discriminator 23. As a result of discrimination by the discriminator 23, normal banknotes are stored in the stacker box 20, and defective banknotes are stored in the reject box 21.

[0036] When dispensing, the denomination of the banknotes fed from the stacker box 20 is determined by the validator 23. As a result of the validation by the validator 23, normal banknotes are transported to the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 and encouraged to be collected by the user, while defective banknotes are stored in the reject box 21.

[0037] Next, a case where the body temperature of the user of ATM2 is equal to or higher than the threshold value and the ATM2 is operating in non-recycle mode will be described.

[0038] When depositing, the denomination of the banknotes inserted through the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 is discriminated as they pass through the discriminator 23. As a result of discrimination by the discriminator 23, both normal and defective banknotes are stored in the reject box 21.

[0039] When dispensing, the denomination of the banknotes fed from the stacker box 20 is determined by the validator 23. As a result of the validation by the validator 23, normal banknotes are transported to the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 and encouraged to be collected by the user, while defective banknotes are stored in the reject box 21.

[0040] In the above embodiment, when the machine is operated in a non-recycle mode, banknotes inserted from the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 upon deposit, whether normal or defective as a result of validation by the validation unit 23, are stored in the reject box 21, but this is not the only option. For example, when the machine is operated in a non-recycle mode, banknotes inserted from the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 upon deposit, whether normal or defective as a result of validation by the validation unit 23, may be stored in the cassette box 22.

[0041] As described above, when the temperature of the user measured by the temperature measuring unit 18 is below the threshold, the control unit 10 sets the ATM 2 to a recycle operation in which the deposited coins are stored in the stacker box 20. This allows the coins in the ATM 2 to be recycled, and prevents the coins in the ATM from decreasing. As a result, frequent replenishment of coins can be suppressed, and operation costs can be suppressed.

[0042] Furthermore, when the temperature of the user measured by the temperature measuring unit 18 is equal to or higher than the threshold, the control unit 10 sets the ATM to non-recycle operation in which the deposited money is stored in the reject box 21. As a result, a user of the ATM whose temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold may be suffering from an infectious disease such as a cold or the new coronavirus. In such a case, by stopping the recycle operation and switching to non-recycle operation, it is possible to prevent the dispensing of money that may be contaminated with bacteria or viruses, such as banknotes and coins deposited by a user who has an infectious disease or is suspected of having an infectious disease. As a result, the user of the ATM 2 can carry out transactions with peace of mind. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operation rate of the ATM 2 from decreasing even in an environment where an infectious disease such as a cold or the new coronavirus is widespread.

[0043] Furthermore, when the body temperature of the user of the ATM 2 measured by the body temperature measuring unit 18 is equal to or higher than a threshold value, the control unit 10 controls the sterilization unit 15 to sterilize the transaction screen after the transaction at the ATM 2 is completed. This allows the user to operate the transaction screen with peace of mind even in an environment where an infectious disease such as a cold or the new coronavirus is widespread, and as a result, the operating rate of the ATM 2 can be prevented.

[0044] 4 and 5 are a flowchart showing an example of a money management process in the money management method according to the present embodiment. The money management process in the present embodiment is executed by the ATM 2 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 in accordance with a money management process program.

[0045] The currency management processing program is executed according to the currency management processing flow shown in Figures 4 and 5. The currency management processing shown in Figures 4 and 5 is executed, for example, when transaction processing for the ATM 2 is completed. Transaction processing includes, for example, payment processing, deposit processing, transfer processing, money exchange processing, etc. for the ATM 2.

[0046] The money management process shown in Figures 4 and 5 may be executed when a predetermined number of transaction processes have been completed, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the transaction processes have been completed, or when the business hours of the ATM 2 end. The money management process shown in Figures 4 and 5 is executed continuously.

[0047] First, the control unit 10 sets the cash operation of the ATM 2 to recycling operation (step S101). The control unit 10 determines whether or not a user passing in front of the ATM 2 is detected (step S102). The detection in step S102 can be determined by an infrared sensor in the body temperature measurement unit 18. For example, when infrared rays are detected by the infrared sensor, it can be determined that a user is present in front of the ATM 2. When a user passing in front of the ATM 2 is not detected (step S102: NO), the process goes to standby.

[0048] When a user passing in front of the ATM 2 is detected (step S102: YES), the control unit 10 measures the user's body temperature using the body temperature measurement unit 18 (step S103). Then, the control unit 10 stores the body temperature measured in step S103 in the memory unit 11 (step S104).

[0049] The control unit 10 displays a body temperature display screen showing the body temperature of the user measured in step S103 on the display unit 13 (step S105).

[0050] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a body temperature display screen 200 displayed on the display unit 13. The body temperature display screen 200 displays the body temperature of the user of the ATM 2. In the example of Fig. 6, "37.5 degrees" is displayed as the body temperature. If the body temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold, the control unit 10 may also display on the body temperature display screen 200 a message encouraging the user to rest or to seek a diagnosis at a medical institution.

[0051] The control unit 10 determines whether the body temperature of the user measured in step S103 is 37.5 degrees or more (step S106). In this embodiment, the threshold is set to 37.5 degrees, but the threshold can be set to any temperature. For example, when used for influenza prevention, the threshold may be set to 38.0 degrees.

[0052] If the user's body temperature measured in step S103 is less than 37.5 degrees (step S106: NO), the process proceeds to step S110. If the user's body temperature measured in step S103 is 37.5 degrees or higher (step S106: YES), the control unit 10 displays the operation / non-operation selection screen 300 on the display unit 13.

[0053] 7 is a diagram showing an example of an operation / non-operation selection screen 300 displayed on the display unit 13. A message for confirming whether to continue the transaction at the ATM 2, a confirmation button, and a cancel button are displayed on the operation / non-operation selection screen 300. The body temperature of the user of the ATM 2 may be displayed on the operation / non-operation selection screen 300. The control unit 10 may also display a message on the operation / non-operation selection screen 300 that encourages the user to rest or to get a diagnosis at a medical institution.

[0054] When the operation of the cancel button of the ATM 2 is selected based on the operation of the input unit 14 (step S108: NO), the control unit 10 ends the transaction process. In this case, the currency management process ends.

[0055] When the confirmation button of the ATM 2 is selected based on the operation of the input unit 14 (step S108: YES), the control unit 10 sets the cash operation of the ATM 2 to non-recycle operation (step S109).

[0056] The control unit 10 displays the transaction selection screen 400 on the display unit 13 (step S110).

[0057] 8 is a diagram showing an example of a transaction selection screen 400 displayed on the display unit 13. A plurality of transaction buttons are displayed on the transaction selection screen 400, from which a type of transaction can be selected. The body temperature of the user of the ATM 2 may be displayed on the transaction selection screen 400. The control unit 10 may also display a message on the transaction selection screen 400 encouraging the user to rest or to get a diagnosis at a medical institution.

[0058] The control unit 10 judges whether or not input of any of the transaction buttons displayed on the transaction selection screen 400 has been accepted (step S111). If input of any of the transaction buttons displayed on the transaction selection screen 400 has not been accepted (step S111: NO), the process goes into standby.

[0059] If input of any of the transaction buttons displayed on the transaction selection screen 400 is accepted (step S11: YES), a transaction message is sent and received with the host server 3, and the transaction is performed with the host server 3 (step S112).

[0060] The control unit 10 judges whether the cash operation of the ATM 2 is a non-recycle operation or not (step S113). If it is a recycle operation (step S113: NO), the control unit 10 stores the money deposited from the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 in the stacker box 20 (step S114).

[0061] That is, when the body temperature of the user measured by the body temperature measuring unit 18 is below the threshold, a recycle operation is set in which the deposited currency is stored in the stacker box 20. This allows the currency in the ATM 2 to be recycled, and prevents a decrease in the amount of currency in the ATM. As a result, frequent replenishment of currency can be suppressed, and operating costs can be reduced. The control unit 10 then ejects the medium such as a credit card (step S115) and ends the process. When this process ends, the currency management process ends.

[0062] If the non-recycle operation is selected (step S113: YES), the control unit 10 stores the money deposited through the deposit / withdrawal unit 24 in the reject box 21 (step S116).

[0063] That is, when the body temperature of the user measured by the body temperature measuring unit 18 is equal to or higher than the threshold, the ATM sets the ATM to non-recycle operation in which the deposited money is stored in the reject box 21. As a result, a user of the ATM whose body temperature is equal to or higher than the threshold may be suffering from an infectious disease such as a cold or the new coronavirus. In such a case, by stopping the recycle operation and switching to non-recycle operation, it is possible to prevent the dispensing of money that may be contaminated with bacteria or viruses, such as banknotes and coins deposited by a user who has an infectious disease or is suspected of having an infectious disease. As a result, the user of the ATM2 can carry out transactions with peace of mind. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operating rate of the ATM2 from decreasing even in an environment where an infectious disease such as a cold or the new coronavirus is widespread.

[0064] Thereafter, the control unit 10 ejects the medium such as a credit card (step S117). After the medium is ejected, the control unit 10 controls the sterilization unit 15 to irradiate the operation screen of the display unit 13 with ultraviolet light for sterilization. That is, if the body temperature of the user of the ATM 2 measured by the body temperature measurement unit 18 is equal to or higher than the threshold, the control unit 10 controls the sterilization unit 15 to sterilize the transaction screen after the transaction at the ATM 2 is completed. This allows the user to operate the transaction screen with peace of mind even in an environment where an infectious disease such as a cold or the new coronavirus is widespread, and as a result, the operating rate of the ATM 2 can be prevented. When this process is completed, the currency management process is completed.

[0065] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and the components can be modified and embodied within the scope of the gist of the invention in the implementation stage. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriate combinations of multiple components disclosed in the above embodiments. For example, all components shown in the embodiments may be appropriately combined. Furthermore, components across different embodiments may be appropriately combined.
