The general operation of the apparatus of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11, and thereafter, the operation of the judgment means which is a feature of the present invention for improving security will be described.

<Payment transaction function> When the customer presses the payment transaction key and inserts the card into the card slot or passbook passbook slot, communication takes place between the device and the center, confirming that there is no question. Then, the control unit 7 transmits a command for starting the deposit processing to the CCAD 2.

Upon receiving the deposit processing start command, CCAD2 switches the internal state to the deposit mode and waits for the customer to set a bill.

When it is detected that the customer has set a bill, the customer service entrance shutter 11 is closed, and information on the presence of the deposit mouth bill is added to the state sense command that is periodically transmitted from the control unit 7, and a response message (hereinafter referred to as a response message). , Called a response).

Next, the control unit 7 transmits a deposit counting command, and instructs counting of bills set in the deposit and withdrawal port.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure of CCAD2 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), after a bill is set in the service port 8, the service port shutter 11 is closed, and the service port 8 is set to the separation position by a motor (not shown) as shown in FIG. 4 (b). . Then, the set bills are separated one by one.
It is taken into the apparatus by 10 and sent to the discriminating unit 13 by the traveling path. The discriminating unit 13 detects the authenticity of the conveyed banknotes, determines whether the banknotes are correct or not, and detects the traveling state, and sends the banknotes backward.

The discrimination unit 13 determines that the ticket is a counterfeit ticket or an abnormal transport ticket.
The sheet is transported to the front and back arranging mechanism 12, and is stacked one by one. The service port 8 is set to the receiving position shown in FIG. 4C by a motor (not shown), and the bills accumulated in the front and back arranging mechanism 12 are fed into the service port 8. The bills sent to the customer service opening 8 are so-called deposit reject bills.

The deposited banknote determined as a genuine bill by the discriminating unit 13 is sent to the deposit / withdrawal unit 53 by operating the switching blade 14c.

Here, the genuine 1,000 yen note is activated by operating the switching blade 14g and sent to the banknote stacking unit 39, and is accumulated on the banknote temporary holding plate 42. Similarly, the genuine ten thousand note is operated by activating the switching blade 14h. The paper is sent to the banknote stacking unit 40 and is stacked on the banknote temporary holding plate 43.

Since the banknote determined to be a damaged banknote or a 5,000 yen banknote of a denominated non-recyclable denomination cannot be reused for withdrawal, the switching blade 14i is operated as a circulating reject banknote and sent to the third type reject banknote stacking unit 30, and The sheets are accumulated on the temporary holding plate 44.

With the above operation, when the deposit counting process of the banknote set by the customer in the customer service opening 8 is completed, the CCAD 2 returns a response of the end of the deposit counting to the control unit 7 and, as the data, the number counted for each denomination. It is added separately to the recirculated banknotes and the non-recycled banknotes. The control unit 7 receives the data, calculates the amount of the denomination and the total amount, displays the amount on a CRT (not shown), counts this data as a deposit count, and stores it.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the CRT (not shown) and presses a confirmation button (not shown), the CCAD 2 receives the command, and first, the bill temporary holding plate of the deposit / withdrawal unit 53.
42, 43, and 44 are retracted in the direction of arrow J, and the deposited banknotes that have been accumulated are stored in the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29, respectively.

 Thus, the processing of the payment transaction is completed.

<Withdrawal transaction function> The customer presses the withdrawal transaction key, inserts the card into the card slot, and enters the PIN.

The control unit 7 transmits a command for starting a dispensing process to the CCAD 2.

When CCAD2 receives the command to start the dispensing process, it switches the internal state to the dispensing mode and waits for the instruction of the denomination and the number of bills to be discharged.

In FIG. 9, when the customer inputs, for example, an amount of 50,000 thousand, first, whether the end detector 49c of the denomination cassette 34 and the end detector 48c of the denomination cassette 33 have not detected the end. judge. If either of them has detected the end, information indicating that withdrawal is impossible is added and a response is returned.

When the end detection is not performed, assuming that the instruction of the withdrawal counting is m-million-yen ticket n-million-yen ticket, the banknote separation mechanism 46 is operated and m-million-yen bills are fed from the denomination cassette 34. The fed-out banknote is sent to the discriminating unit 13 through the transport path 51 as indicated by the arrow in FIG. The discriminating unit 13 discriminates whether the bill is front or back, whether it is a designated bill or not, and if it is as designated, a switching blade.
Activate 14d, send it to the front and back alignment mechanism 12, and
The switching blade 14a is actuated according to the result of the determination of the front and back sides, and the front and back sides are aligned one by one, and are accumulated in the front and back alignment mechanism 12.

The bill discriminated by the discriminating unit 13 from the abnormal transported ticket is sent to the third-type reject banknote stacking unit 28 by operating the switching blades 14d and 14c as a withdrawal reject banknote, and is stacked in the second-type reject banknote cassette 27. .

In this way, the dispensing, discrimination and accumulation of the ten thousand yen ticket are repeated until the required number of sheets is accumulated in the front-back arrangement mechanism 12.

When the ten-yen ticket has been paid out, the next is the cassette by money
The payout of n-thousand-yen certificates from 33 is performed in the same manner.

When the specified number of sheets are accumulated in the front-back
To the receiving position by a motor not shown,
The dispensed bills accumulated in the front and back arranging mechanism 12 are sent to the customer service opening 8.

The service port 8 is set to the dispensing position by a motor (not shown), the service port shutter 11 is opened, the banknote is passed to the customer, and the service port shutter 11 is closed.

When the dispensing of the designated number of sheets from the control unit 7 is completed, a response of completion is returned, and the released denomination and its number are added as the data. The control unit 7 receives this, counts and stores it as the number of payments.

 With this, the processing of the withdrawal transaction is completed.

<Replenishment> When the staff presses the replenishment key using the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and transmits a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the replenishment operation.

In FIG. 10, CCAD2 switches the internal state to the replenishment mode when receiving the command of the replenishment operation start, and that the end detector 25a of the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 17 has not detected the end, that is, the bill to be replenished. Check that is set in advance.

If the end is detected, a response is returned with information indicating that the operation is disabled, and this process is stopped. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the replenishment operation is started.

By operating the replenishment bill separation mechanism 22, the bills set on the stage 18 are fed out one by one from the upper side, conveyed as indicated by the arrow in FIG. The discriminating unit 13 sequentially detects the sent bills, discriminates whether the bills are true or false, determines whether the bills are correct or not, and sends the bills backward.

In the case of a banknote that can be loaded for withdrawal as a genuine 1,000-yen banknote, the switching blade 14g is operated to feed the banknote into the banknote stacking unit 39, and is directly stacked on the stage 36 of the denomination cassette 33.

In the case of a banknote that can be loaded for withdrawal as a genuine ten thousand note, the switching blade 14h is operated to send the banknote to the banknote stacking unit 40 and directly stack it on the stage 37 of the cassette 34 classified by money.

This operation is repeated until the bills set on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 25a detects the bills. However, any one of the stacks of the stages 36 and 37 reaches the stacking allowable value (for example, 100). In this case, the operation of the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is interrupted, and the stage of the cassette which has reached the accumulation allowable value is lowered by the motor (not shown) corresponding to the accumulation allowable value. When the stage goes down, the replenishment banknote separation mechanism 22 is operated again, and the replenishment operation is repeated.

When the banknotes on the stage 18 are exhausted and the end detector 39d detects the end, the replenishment banknote separation mechanism 22 stops, and when the last banknote arrives at the stage of the denomination cassette, the transport operation by the transport path also stops.

Finally, the stages 36 and 37 of the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 are simultaneously lowered, and the banknotes accumulated on the stages 36 and 37 are stored in the denomination cassettes 33 and 34, and the replenishment operation ends.

The rejected bills discriminated from the withdrawable tickets by the discriminating section 13 are operated by the switching blades 14e and 14f, sent to the first kind reject bill accumulating section 24, and accumulated in the first kind reject bill storing section 23.

During the replenishment operation, the full detector 4
When 8c and 49c detect full, switch blade 14i
Is operated and fed to the third type rejected banknote stacking unit 30 to be stacked on the stage 38 of the third type rejected banknote cassette 29. Then, when the end detector 25a detects the end, the replenishment bill separating mechanism 22 is stopped, and the transport operation by the traveling path 51 is also stopped.

CCAD2 returns a replenishment completion response to the control unit 7,
As the data, the counted number of sheets loaded for each denomination is added.

 Thus, the processing of the replenishment operation is completed.

<Loading Function> When the banker collectively stores the banknotes set from the original side on the stage 18 of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 before starting the business and presses the loading key with the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, In response to the input, the control unit 7 transmits a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the loading operation.

Upon receiving the loading operation start command, the CCAD 2 switches the internal state in the same manner as in the replenishment mode, and performs the loading operation exactly the same as the replenishment operation.

<Recovery Function> When the employee presses the recovery key using the operation key of the internal operation unit 6, the control unit 7 receives this input and transmits a command for instructing the CCAD 2 to start the recovery operation.

In FIG. 11, when CCAD 2 receives the command to start the collection operation, the internal state is switched to the collection mode, and all the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29 have not detected the end, that is, the collection is completed. It is confirmed that the bill to be executed is present in any of the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 and the third kind reject bill cassette 29.

If all of the denomination cassettes 33 and 34 and the third type reject banknote cassette 29 have been detected as being at the end, a response is returned with information indicating that operation is not possible, and this process is stopped.

When it is confirmed that the end is not detected in any one of the cassettes, the collecting operation is started.

First, the banknote separation mechanism 47 is operated, and the banknotes stored in the third-type reject banknote cassette 29 are sequentially counted from the upper side by one.
It is fed out one by one and sent to the discriminating unit 13 via the traveling path as shown by the arrow in FIG.

The discriminating section 13 sequentially discriminates the sent bills and detects the traveling state and sends the bills backward.

As a result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 13, the banknote in which the heavy running or the skew is detected is operated by the switching blades 14e and 14f, and the first bill is operated.
It is sent to the seed reject bill storage unit 23.

The banknotes with normal discrimination results are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21,
The components are sequentially accumulated on the stage 18.

This operation is repeated until all the banknotes set in the third type reject banknote cassette 29 are exhausted.
When the stacking number of sheets 18 reaches the stacking allowance (for example, 100 sheets), the operation of the bill separating mechanism 47 is interrupted, and the stage 18 of the cassette which has reached the stacking allowance is moved by the motor (not shown) to the stacking allowance. Lower by a considerable amount. When the stage is lowered, the bill separating mechanism 47 is operated again, and the replenishing operation is repeated.

End detector 50a of the third kind reject banknote cassette 29
When the end is detected, next, the stored bill is fed out from the denomination cassette 34.

When the discrimination section 13 discriminates the result of heavy running, skew, or the like, the switching blades 14e and 14f are operated to feed the first type reject bill storage section 23. The banknotes with normal discrimination results are sent to the collected banknote stacking unit 21 and are sequentially stacked on the stage 18.

When the denomination cassette 34 detects the end, next, the stored bills are fed out from the denomination cassette 33.

Thus, the rejected banknotes of the third type reject banknote cassette 29 and the denomination cassettes 34, 33 are rejected,
The bills are accumulated while counting on the stage 19 of the replenishment / collection bill storage unit 17 in the order of 1,000 yen notes.

When the full detector 25c of the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17 detects the full state, the collection operation is interrupted, and the information is returned to the control unit 7. The control unit 7 displays "Batch storage full" on a display unit (not shown), and instructs the collection of the banknotes stored in the batch storage.

According to this instruction, the staff opens the door 52 on the rear surface of the CCAD 2, removes the collective storage 15, opens the collective storage door using the audit key, and takes out all the banknotes in the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit 17.

When the collective storage door is closed, the collective storage 15 is set by the reverse operation, and the door 52 is closed, the collecting operation is performed again.

As described above, the collection operation is performed until all of the third type reject banknote cassette 29 and the denomination cassettes 34 and 33 detect the end, and the last banknote is stored in the replenishment / collection banknote storage unit.
When the vehicle arrives at 17, the transport operation by the transport path 51 also stops, and the collection operation ends.

The CCAD 2 that has completed the above process returns a response indicating that the collection has been completed, and adds the counted number of sheets collected for each denomination as its data. In response to this, the control unit 7 counts and stores the number as the number of collected sheets.

 Thus, the processing of the collecting operation is completed.

<Operation of Judgment Unit> With this judgment unit, the collection process can be permitted only for the regular batch storage and the regular staff.

Here, the procedure from the mounting of the bulk storage to the CCAD by the operation of the clerk to the execution of the collection operation is performed with the display and input on the internal operation unit as the axis, the display operation of the internal operation unit of FIG. 13 and the flowchart of FIG. This will be described with reference to the screen diagram.

In the following description, the touch keys of the internal operation unit 6
The input from the key 62 and the fixed keys 63 and the screen display on the display unit 61 are directly controlled by the internal operation unit control unit 64 based on the control of the control unit 7.
However, for the sake of simplicity, the flow of the control signal will not be described each time.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the determination process of the apparatus of the present invention.

In FIG. 12, the automatic teller machine is already operating, and a screen as shown in (7) of FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 61 of the internal operation unit 6 and is being handled. And The internal operation unit control unit 64 constantly monitors whether any one of the various fixed keys 63 is operated (step S1). If there is any key input, the key information input is
Is transmitted to and decoded, and a process corresponding to the input key is executed. When the input fixed key is the "special service" key shown in FIG. 7 (step S2), the display screen of the display unit 61 is switched to the screen (1) in FIG. 13 (step S2).
3).

Next, if there is a touch panel input (step S4) and it is the "password input" key (step S5),
Further, it is determined whether or not the batch storage is mounted on the CCAD 2 (step S6).
The screen (4) is displayed on the screen 61 to prompt the user to attach the screen (step S7). Then, it monitors whether the end key is input (step S8) or whether the batch storage is mounted (step S9), and if the end key is input, returns to step S2 and displays the screen (1). When the next command input is awaited and the batch storage is mounted, a command for reading the storage identification data unique to the batch storage is sent to the CCAD (step S10), and it is determined that the data is normal (step S11). . If it is not normal, a screen (5) is displayed on the display unit 61 (step S12), and an input of an end key is waited for (step S13). If the end key has been input, the flow returns to step S3 to display the screen (1) and wait for the next input.

On the other hand, if the storage identification data is normal, a screen (3) is displayed on the display unit 61 (step S14), and a clerk is prompted to input a password. Subsequently, it is monitored whether a password is input (step S15) or an end key is input (step S16). If the end key is input, the process returns to step S3. When the password is input, it is determined whether the password and the batch storage identification data read in steps S10 and S11 satisfy a predetermined relationship (step S17).

Here, the determination of the predetermined relationship means that the data matches with the comparison data registered in advance, or both data are substituted into a predetermined relational expression to perform an operation such as addition and subtraction to obtain a predetermined result. Is to see if it is possible. In this case, the cash cannot be collected unless both the bulk storage and the attendant are regular, and the security is improved.

Here, if a predetermined relationship cannot be obtained between the two data, the number of errors is counted by a password code error counter (step S18), and it is determined whether the number of errors has reached three (step S19). If the number of times has been reached, the process returns to step S3, and if less than three times, the screen (6) is displayed (step S20), prompting re-entry of the password.

On the other hand, if the two data satisfy the predetermined relationship, the flag indicating that the regular batch storage has been installed is turned on (step S21), the screen (2) is displayed (step S22), and the next instruction input waits. (Step S23), and the mounting of the collectable storage that can be collected is completed.

Here, if the collection key is input (step S24), C
A collection command is sent to the CAD (step S25), and if any other key is input, a process corresponding to the key is executed. When the collection key is input, when a collection processing end response is received from the CCAD (step S26), the collection amount is displayed as shown in a screen (8) (step S27), and after a certain period of time is displayed (step S28), the screen is displayed. A screen for displaying the operation state of the device as in (7) is displayed (step S2
9) Return to step S1 and wait for the next input.

In the above description, the case of performing the collection process according to the instruction of the attendant has been described, but when the CCAD denomination cassette 33 or 34 is full, it is necessary to automatically collect some of the bills. In this case, if the processing up to step S21 is also completed, automatic collection is possible. However, the regular bulk storage completed flag that was turned on in step S21 is
Thereafter, when the batch storage is removed from the CCAD, it is reset (turned off), and after that, it is necessary to start over from the beginning.

 FIG. 14 is an operation flowchart of CCAD.

The processing on the CCAD side corresponding to the processing of the control unit 7 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The CCAD control section 59 is normally in a command waiting state from the control section 7 (step S1), and decodes the command when receiving the command. When receiving the collective storage identification data read command (step S2), the lock mechanism magnet is turned on (step S3), and the identification data unique to the collective storage is read (step S4). When a replenishment or collection command is received (step S5), the lock mechanism magnet is turned on (step S6), and replenishment or collection processing is executed (step S7).

When the execution of each command described above is completed, the processing result is sent to the control unit 7 as a response to the command (step S8), and the lock mechanism magnet is turned off (step S8).
9).

In the present embodiment, a case has been described in which a ROM is used as the batch storage identification data holding unit 74 and the data stored therein is fixed data, but the present invention is not limited to this.
Alternatively, a storage means such as an EEPROM (electrically erasable ROM) or a battery-backed RAM, which can rewrite the contents and can retain the contents, may be used.

Further, the storage identification data may be treated as secret information which is not known to the attendant, and the personal identification code may be treated as being individually assigned to the attendant.

Alternatively, as another embodiment, not only the data storage unit on the batch storage side, but also a microcomputer and an interface unit are built in, and between the banknote depositing and dispensing device control unit 59, based on a predetermined transmission control unit, Data may be exchanged.

In this case, a more complicated procedure is required as compared with the embodiment in which the data is simply confirmed, and the check can be further ensured.

Although the above-described embodiment has been described by taking the operation for the banknote pay-in / pay-out device 2 as an example, the present invention can be similarly applied to a coin pay-in / pay-out device.

(Effect of the Invention) In the cash automatic transaction device of the present invention described above, when the attendant wears the collective storage and inputs the password,
Detects the mounting of the collective storage and reads the storage identification data, and checks a predetermined relationship such as whether the storage identification data matches the password or has a predetermined specific relationship. If it is determined that the device belongs to a regular bulk storage having a predetermined relationship and a legitimate staff, the batch storage is locked to the apparatus.

Therefore, cash cannot be handled unless it is determined that the storage identification data and the personal identification code belong to a proper bulk storage having a predetermined relationship and a proper clerk. Can be.

In addition, by providing the lock means, cash can be handled only in a state where the collective storage is locked, so that cash management can be further securely performed.
