[0005]

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] The quantity and denomination of the failed banknotes stored in the reject section 202 are processed as follows. ■If two tickets overlap each other during validation, they will be considered defective tickets and counted as one ticket even though there are only two tickets. ■The money entered by the customer is temporarily stored after confirming the amount entered by the customer, and then re-identified. When the banknotes are re-differentiated, the banknotes may be folded, and the banknotes that were classified as good at the first re-validation are classified as defective at the re-validation, and the number of defective banknotes is added to 1, but the denomination is stored as unknown. do. In this case, it would be possible to determine the denomination by using the data that first identified the item as good, but this was not done and the denomination was assumed to be unknown. ■When making a payment to a customer, a banknote is fed out from the stacker, and the banknote is verified and sent to the payment slot. If the banknote is determined to be defective during this verification, it is counted as one defective note in the reject department, and this denomination is Record as unknown. but,
Since the denomination and number of coins fed out from the stacker can be known, the denomination can also be recorded, but the denomination was not recorded.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic teller machine that correctly counts the number of coins stored in the reject section and also estimates the denomination of the coins if the denomination can be estimated.

Means for Solving the Problems FIG. 1 shows a first principle diagram of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a deposit/withdrawal section for inputting and outputting cash, and numeral 1 denotes a discriminating section, which discriminates the quantity, denomination, good, bad, and unfit notes of the money inputted from the deposit/withdrawal section 4. 2 is a stacker that stores gold for each denomination discriminated by the discriminating section 1. 3 is a reject section which stores money that is judged as defective or unfit by the discrimination section 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a pool section in which money is deposited from the deposit/withdrawal section 4 and money appraised by the discriminator section 1 is temporarily stored. Then, inputted from the deposit/withdrawal section 4, it is first discriminated as good by the discriminator 1, then temporarily stored in the pool section 5, and again discriminated by the discriminator 1 as defective or defective.
After the money discriminated as unfit notes is stored in the reject section 3, the denomination of the money and its quantity are discriminated based on the first discrimination data and the second discrimination data.

FIG. 2 shows a second principle diagram of the present invention. In the figure, a stacker 2 stores gold by denomination and outputs a designated denomination and the quantity of that denomination. 1 is a discrimination section that records the quantity, denomination, good, bad, etc. of gold output from this stacker 2.
Identify unfit notes. Reference numeral 4 denotes a deposit/withdrawal section which inputs the money judged as good by the discrimination section 1 and outputs it to the outside. 3 is a reject section which stores money that is judged as defective or unfit by the discrimination section 1. Then, the reject unit 3 receives the gold output data output from the stacker 2 and the gold output data output to the deposit/withdrawal unit 4.
Determine the denomination and quantity of gold stored in.

This is a reject section that stores money that has been identified as unfit notes. Then, two overlapped outputs are output from the supply section 6, and the discrimination section 1 discriminates them as defective due to this overlap, and the reject section 3
The amount of gold stored in is counted as 2. Note that the supply section 6 may be any place that dispenses money, and includes the stacker 2, deposit/withdrawal section 4, deposit pool 5, etc.

FIG. 4 shows a fourth principle diagram of the present invention. In the figure, 6 is a supply unit that supplies gold, 1 is a discrimination unit that discriminates the quantity, denomination, good, bad, and unfit of the gold supplied from this supply unit 6, and 2 is a discrimination unit that discriminates whether the gold is good, bad, or unfit. 5 is a pool section that temporarily stores gold that has been classified as defective by the classification section 1; 3 is a pool section that stores the gold that has been classified as defective by the classification section 1;
This is a reject section that stores money that has been classified as unfit or defective. The gold outputted from the supply section 6 and judged as defective by the identification section 1 is temporarily stored in the pool section 5, and then transferred to the identification section 1 again.
The gold judged as good is stored in the stacker 2, and the money judged as bad is stored in the reject section 3.

[0011]

[Operation] According to the first principle of the present invention, the denomination and quantity of gold that has been first identified and stored in the deposit pool 5 is grasped by the identifying section 1. When the gold stored in this deposit pool 5 is revalidated by the validation section 2, it may be folded or folded.
If two sheets overlap, they may be identified as defective. In this case, gold that is judged to be defective is stored in the reject section 3, and gold that is judged to be good is stored in the stacker 2 by denomination, and the number of coins for each denomination can also be grasped. Therefore, based on the denomination of the first appraisal and the number of coins for each denomination, and the second appraisal, the stacker 2
Reject section 3 from data on number of coins by denomination stored in
It is possible to calculate the denominations stored in the denomination and the number of coins of that denomination.

According to the second principle of the present invention, the discriminating section 1 discriminates the gold output from the stacker 2, and those that are defective are stored in the reject section 3, and those that are discriminated as good are output to the deposit/withdrawal section 4. Ru. The denomination of gold and the number of coins of that denomination outputted from the stacker 2 and the denomination of gold and the number of coins of that denomination output to the deposit/withdrawal section 4 are used to determine the denomination of gold and the number of coins of that denomination stored in the reject section 3. The number of sheets can be calculated.

According to the third principle of the present invention, the quantity of gold that is output from the supplying section 6 in two duplicates, discriminated as defective by the discriminating section 1, and stored in the reject section 3 is counted as 2, so that the reject section The amount of gold stored in 3 can be counted accurately. Conventionally, this was counted as 1, so the exact amount of gold stored in the reject section 3 could not be grasped.

According to the fourth principle of the present invention, gold supplied from the supply section 6 and initially judged as defective by the discrimination section 1 is temporarily stored in the pool section 5 and is discriminated again by the discrimination section 1. As a result, the amount of gold stored in the reject section 3 can be reduced.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment relates to the banknote processing section 13 described in FIG. 6, and FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 130 denotes an insertion/extraction unit through which a customer pays or receives cash (banknotes in this embodiment);
Reference numeral 31 is an identification section that distinguishes whether the banknotes are good or bad, whether they are damaged or not, as well as the denomination and number of banknotes. Defective banknotes are identified as being defective if they are not banknotes or if they are folded or overlapped. 132,1
33 and 134 are stackers that store banknotes by denomination. For example, stacker 132 holds 10,000 yen bills, stacker 13
3 stores 5,000 yen bills, stacker 134 stores 1,000 yen bills, and so on. Reference numeral 135 denotes a forgotten safe for taking and storing forgotten banknotes, and 136 is a reject safe for storing banknotes or damaged banknotes that cannot be discriminated by the discrimination section 131. 137 is the staff safe, stackers 132, 133, 13
4. Replenish and collect banknotes. Stacker 132,1
33,134 When the number of banknotes in
through the stacker 132 to determine the denomination and replenish it.
, 133, 134 are full, the denomination is determined through the discrimination section 131 and the coins are collected. Note that the replenishment and removal of banknotes from the staff safe is performed by the staff member who manages the automatic teller machine. Reference numeral 138 denotes a deposit pool section in which banknotes deposited from the insertion/extraction section 130 are discriminated by the discrimination section 131 and then temporarily stored therein, and 139 is a withdrawal pool section in which banknotes to be outputted to the insertion/extraction section 130 are temporarily stored.

Next, the first operation of this embodiment will be explained. The customer inputs a total of 555,000 yen (55 10000 yen bills and 5 1000 yen bills) from the insertion/extraction section 130, which is judged as good by the discrimination section 131, and after being temporarily stored in the deposit pool section 138, it is re-differentiated. However, defects such as folded banknotes occurred, resulting in the following problems. Number of coins inserted into reject safe 136
3-sheet stacker 132 (stores 10,000 yen bills) Number of sheets stored: 53 sheets Stacker 134
(1,000 yen bills stored) Number of stored bills: 4 Bad bills classified by the classification section 131
3 pieces In this case, reject safe 136
The denomination within is estimated as follows. 10,000 yen bills = (55 10,000 yen bills in deposit pool section 138) -
(53 thousand yen bills stored in the stacker 132) = 2 thousand yen bills = (5 thousand yen bills in the deposit pool section 138) - (4 thousand yen bills stored in the stacker 134) = 1 bill, so the reject safe Of the three cards stored in the 136, two are 10,000 yen bills and one is a 1,000 yen bill.

The second operation of this embodiment will be explained. 222,000 yen is output to the insertion/extraction unit 130 for payment to the customer. In this case, if there are no defective tickets, the stacker 132
It is sufficient to feed out 22 ten thousand yen bills from the stacker and two thousand yen bills from the stacker 134. However, if the banknotes are bent during feeding from the stacker or during the transport route, or if two sheets are dispensed in duplicate, the identification section 131 identifies the banknotes as defective and puts them into the reject safe 136, so the actual situation is as follows. Invalid tickets in the classification department 131
Number of sheets delivered from the two-sheet stacker 132
Number of sheets fed out from the 23-sheet stacker 134
The number of double feeds in the 3-sheet stacker 132 The number of double feeds in the 1-sheet stacker 134 The number of 1,000-yen bills paid from the 1-time insertion/extraction section 130 The number of 1,000-yen bills paid from the 22-sheet insertion/extraction section 130 2-sheet double feed means 2 sheets In this case, the discriminating unit 131 treats each double feed as one defective note and sends it out to the reject safe 136 by feeding out the notes in duplicate. Therefore, the count value of the appraisal unit 131 shows an incorrect value in this case. In the above case, the denominations and number of denominations stored in the reject safe 136 are calculated as follows. 10,000 yen notes = (stacker 132, number of sheets fed out: 23) -
(Number of 22 million yen tickets stored in the insertion slot) + (Stacker 132
Number of double feeds 1) = 2 1,000 yen bills = (stacker 134, number of sheets fed out: 3) - (number of 1,000 yen bills stored in the insertion slot: 2) + (stacker 134, number of double feeds: 1) = 2 Therefore, there are thousands of yen bills in the reject safe 136. Two yen notes and two thousand yen notes were stored.

The third operation of this embodiment will be explained. Attendant safe 13 with initial replenishment to stackers 132, 133, 134
7, the number of banknotes to be stored in the reject safe 136 when double feed occurs twice during cash dispensing is calculated. In this case, since the attendant safe 137 does not dispense banknotes by denomination, the denomination cannot be estimated. Number of defective tickets in the identification department 131
Number of double feeds in the 2-card staff safe 137 Number of bills stored in the 2-reject safe = (Number of bad tickets for identification: 2) + (Number of double feeds in the staff safe 2 times) = 4 If the operation is 4, the denomination is unknown, so the reject safe is sent to the reject safe 136. Although we do not know the type of denomination stored, we can accurately determine the number of coins.

The fourth operation of this embodiment will be explained. When replenishing the stackers 132 to 134 from the staff safe 137 , the discrimination unit 131 identifies five bad bills, one of which was due to one double feed from the staff safe 137 . At this time, these classified defective notes are temporarily stored in the withdrawal pool section 139, and after being replenished, the withdrawal pool section 139
9, and when I re-identified it, I found the following. It is clear from the third operation example that the correct number of banknotes stored in the withdrawal pool section 139 is six banknotes. Number of defective tickets in the identification department 131
1,000 yen note that was identified as an unfit note by the 3-sheet identification unit 131
Double feed of 2 coin withdrawal pool part 139 1
In addition, in the case of unfit notes, the identification department 131 checks the denomination,
The number of sheets can be identified. At this time, data on banknotes stored in the reject safe 136 is calculated as follows. 1,000 yen notes = 2 bad notes that were distinguished from unfit notes and stored = (3 bad notes) + (1 double feed in the withdrawal pool) =
In this case, the denominations of the four defective notes are unknown.

[0020]

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention correctly calculates the number of gold pieces stored in the reject section.
Furthermore, when the denomination is known, the denomination is also revealed, which improves the accuracy of managing the money stored in the reject section.
