Step S15゜527). When the confirmation key is pressed, the total number of replenishment of 1,000 yen bills in the bulk storage is displayed in the last four digits of the data display section 555 instead of the cumulative total of 1,000 yen bills being displayed (step 816). At the same time, the 10,000 yen lamp in the guide section 556 is turned off, the 1,000 yen lamp is turned on, and the total lamp continues to be lit (step 816).

Next, it waits for the confirmation key to be pressed (step 517), and if a key other than the confirmation key is pressed, the operation corresponding to the pressed key is executed (steps S18, 527).
. When the confirmation key is pressed, the bulk storage information storage unit 100 stores the number of ten thousand yen notes in the bulk storage for one replenishment.
The data is read from and displayed in the last four digits of the data display section 555.

Then, the 1,000 yen lamp and the cumulative total lamp of the guide section 556 are turned off, and the 10,000 yen lamp and the one-time lamp are turned on (step 519).

Furthermore, it waits for a confirmation key to be pressed (step 520), and if a key other than the confirmation key is pressed, an operation corresponding to the pressed key is executed (steps S22, 527).
If the confirmation key is pressed, the number of 1,000 yen notes in the bulk storage for one time is stored in the bulk storage information storage unit 10.
It is read from 0 and displayed in the last four digits of the display section 555. Then, the 1,000 yen lamp in the guide section 556 is turned off, the 1,000 yen lamp is turned on, and the one-time lamp continues to be lit (step 521).
). Thereafter, the process returns to step S4 and waits for the replenishment key or collection key to be pressed.

In the manner described above, it is possible to perform a display according to the content of the pressed key.

On the other hand, if the identification number is not input in step S7, the system waits for the confirmation key to be pressed (step S7).
8). However, in this case, if a key other than the confirmation key is pressed, a process corresponding to the pressed key is executed (step S9, 527). When the confirmation key is pressed, the total data of the number of 10,000 yen notes to be refilled is read from address m, +1]0 of the bulk storage information storage section 100, and the last four digits of the data display section 555 are displayed. indicate. In this case, the total number of replenishment 10,000 yen bills is displayed, and the 10,000 yen lamp and the total lamp of the guide section 556 are turned on (step S7).

After the display is completed, the process moves to step S24, which waits for the confirmation key to be pressed.

However, if a key other than the confirmation key is pressed here, the processing operation corresponding to the pressed key is executed (step S25, 527), and if the confirmation key is pressed, - bulk storage information Address m + of storage unit 100
1] Read the data from address 1 and display the total number of 1,000 yen notes to be refilled in the last four digits of the display. Further, the 10,000 yen lamp of the guide section 556 is turned off, the 1,000 yen lamp is turned on, and the total lamp continues to be lit (step 826). Thereafter, the process returns to step S4 and waits for the next key press.

In this case, for the customer service port 3, the deposit position shown in FIG. 10(a) described above is selected. When it is detected that the customer has set banknotes, the shutter 42 of the customer service port 3 is closed.

The control unit 56 shown in FIG. 4 periodically transmits a sense command to the cash depositing and dispensing device 50. The cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 adds the information "Banknote set available at the customer service entrance" to the sense command, and sends a response message (response).
to be sent back.

Next, the control unit 56 transmits a deposit counting command to the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 and instructs it to count the banknotes deposited at the customer service port 3 . Here, the customer service port 3 is as shown in FIG. 10(b).
The banknotes are separated one by one by the customer service opening separation mechanism 49 shown in FIG. 10(b) and taken into the apparatus. This banknote is sent to the discrimination section 4 through the routes indicated by the arrows ■, ■, ■. The discrimination section 4 sequentially performs authenticity discrimination, fitness discrimination, and running state detection on the conveyed banknotes, and sends them to the rear. Those that are determined to be counterfeit bills or abnormally conveyed bills in the discrimination section 4 follow the routes indicated by the arrows ■ and ■, and are conveyed to the front and back arrangement mechanism 5, where they are stacked one by one.

Then, the customer service port 3 is set at the receiving position shown in FIG.

In this way, the deposited banknotes are rejected as shown in Figure 9(d).
It is returned to the customer after going through the withdrawal position shown in .

On the other hand, the banknotes determined by the discrimination section 4 to be good or unfit (banknotes not subject to circulation) are conveyed to the conveyance path 60 as indicated by the arrow (■) by operating the switching gate 43. Here, a genuine 1,000 yen note is shown in the deposit/withdrawal unit 1 as shown by the arrow ■.
8 is transported to the running path 49 and passes through the 1,000 yen ticket switching gate 5.
7 is activated to feed the 1,000 yen bill into the stacking section 27. In this way, the thousand yen bills are accumulated in the -hour storage section 24.

Similarly, genuine 10,000 yen bills are accumulated in the temporary storage section 25 via the accumulation section 28 by the operation of the switching gate 31. Further, the 5,000 yen note and the unfit note are sent to the accumulation section 29 by operating the switching gate 32, and are accumulated in the -hour storage section 26.

Through the above-described operations, when the deposit counting process for the banknotes set by the customer at the customer service port 3 is completed, the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 performs the following operations.
A response indicating completion of deposit counting is sent back to the control unit 56 shown in FIG. Added to this response is data that displays the number of banknotes counted for each denomination, divided into recycled banknotes and non-recycled banknotes.

The control unit 56 receives this data, calculates the amount by denomination and the total amount, and displays the calculated amount on the display of the customer operation unit 54 shown in FIG. Further, this data is counted and stored as the number of deposited coins.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the display of the customer operation unit 54 shown in FIG. 4 and presses the confirmation button on the customer operation unit 54, the cash depositing and withdrawal device 50 receives the command and Temporary storage section 24.2 of denomination storage 8.9
The deposited banknotes accumulated in 5 are transferred to the shack 3 of the -hour storage section.
By pulling out 4.35 at the same time, the denomination storage box 8

This completes the deposit transaction process.

<Withdrawal Transaction> FIG. 12 shows a sectional view of the cash depositing and dispensing device of the present invention during a withdrawal transaction.

When the customer presses the withdrawal transaction key of the customer operation section 54 shown in FIG. A command to start the withdrawal process is sent to the device 50.

When the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 receives the command to start the withdrawal process, it switches its internal state to the withdrawal mode and waits for instructions on the denomination and number of banknotes to be dispensed.

For example, when a customer inputs the amount of m ten thousand yen notes and n thousand yen notes, first, the end detectors 39a and 39b of each denomination storage 8.9.10.

39c determines whether or not each end is detected. If an end is detected in any one denomination storage, information indicating that withdrawal is not possible is added to the command and a response is sent back. If the end is not detected, the machine operates the 10,000 yen note extraction/separation mechanism 21 in accordance with the instructions for counting the amount of money to be dispensed, and dispenses m 10,000 yen notes. The paid-out banknotes are fed into the discrimination section 4 through the travel paths indicated by arrows ■, ■, ■. The discrimination section 4 discriminates whether the banknote is as specified or not, whether it is front or back, whether it is fit or not, and if it is as specified, operates a switching gate 43 and sends the banknote to the front and back arrangement mechanism 5 along the arrows ``■'' and ``■''. In the discrimination section 4, the front and back sides of the banknotes are determined, and the switching gate 6 is operated based on the result of the determination, and the front and back of each banknote is aligned and stacked in the front and back arrangement mechanism 5.

Note that the banknotes that are identified as abnormally conveyed banknotes by the recognition unit 4 are as follows:
By activating the switching gates 43 and 63, the money is sent to the stacking section 64 of the reject cassette 7, following the route indicated by the arrow {circle over (2)}, and is accumulated in the withdrawal reject section 65.

The above operations are repeated until the m ten thousand yen bills shown in t) are taken out from the denomination storage 9 in which the ten thousand yen bills are stored, discriminated, and accumulated in the two-back sorting mechanism 5.

When the accumulation of 10,000 yen notes is completed, next, n 1,000 yen notes are taken out from the denomination storage 8 containing small 1,000 yen notes.

As a result of the above operations, when m ten thousand yen notes and n thousand yen notes specified by the order ring are accumulated in the front and back arrangement mechanism 5, the tenth
A customer service port 3 is set at the receiving position shown in FIG.
Then, by switching to the withdrawal position υ shown in FIG. 10(d), the shutter 42 is opened, new bills are handed over to the customer, and the shutter 42 is then closed.

When the withdrawal of the designated number of coins from the control unit 56 is completed, the cash depositing and dispensing device 5o returns a response indicating that the process has been completed to the control unit 56. At that time, data on the denomination type and number of denominations to be released is added. The control unit 56 receives this, counts it as the number of coins to be withdrawn, and stores it.

This completes the withdrawal transaction process.

Loading> FIG. 13 shows a cross-sectional view of the dispensing operation, that is, the loading and replenishing operation, of the cash depositing and dispensing device of the present invention.

First, a staff member attaches the bulk storage 11 to the device main body 50 prior to starting work. In this bulk storage, a predetermined amount of banknotes are collectively set from the source. The staff member is
- After installing the bulk storage, press the load key among the operation keys of the internal operation section 55 shown in FIG. The control unit 56 is
In response to this human power, a command is sent to the cash depositing and dispensing device 50 to instruct it to start the loading operation.

When the cash depositing and dispensing device 50 receives the command to start loading operation, it switches its internal state to loading mode. And-
Confirm that the end detector 39d of the bulk storage 11 does not detect the end.

This is to confirm that the banknotes to be loaded have been set in the bulk storage 11 in advance. If the end is detected, information indicating that the operation is disabled is added and a response is sent to the control unit 56. In that case, the loading operation is aborted. When it is confirmed that the end is not detected, the loading operation starts.

When the loading operation is started, in FIG.
The drive motor of the batch extraction and separation mechanism 23 shown in the figure is operated. As a result, the banknotes set in the -bundle storage 11 are fed out one by one from the top, and
It is sent to the discrimination section 4 along the routes of ■, ■, and ■.

The discrimination section 4 performs denomination discrimination, authenticity discrimination, fitness discrimination, and running state check for each banknote that is sequentially fed in, and the conveyed banknote is further sent to the rear. If the result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 4 is a genuine thousand yen bill (a bill with no or only minor damage, and which can be used for withdrawal), the bill will be marked with the arrows ■ and ■1. Following the route (2), the money passes through the travel path 49 of the deposit/withdrawal unit 18, and is fed into the thousand-yen note accumulation section 27 via the thousand-yen note switching gate 57. In this way, the 1,000 yen bills are directly accumulated on the stage 45 of the 1,000 yen bill storage 8.

In addition, in the loading operation as described above, the shutters 34, 35, 36 of each denomination storage 8, 9, 10 are opened in advance, and the stage 45° 46, 47 is set to receive the banknotes to be loaded. ing.

Further, if the result of the discrimination is that the bill is a genuine ten thousand yen bill, the ten thousand yen bill switching gate 31 or 32 is operated and the bill is sent to the ten thousand yen bill stacking section 28 or 29. and,
It is integrated directly onto the stage 46,47.

The above operations are repeated for each denomination storage 8, 9, 1.0 until a preset appropriate loading number is reached.

During this operation, if the number of sheets accumulated on any of the stages 4546, 47 reaches a holding tolerance, for example 100 sheets, the operation of the bulk take-out separation mechanism 23 of the bulk storage 11 is interrupted. Then, stage 45. when the hold tolerance value has been reached.
46 or 47 is lowered by a thickness equivalent to the holding tolerance using a screwdriver (not shown). When the stage is lowered, the batch extraction and separation mechanism 23 is operated again to repeat the loading operation.

For example, when 10,000 yen bills are first loaded in the denomination storage 9, a predetermined appropriate number of 10,000 yen bills will remain in the denomination storage 9 until the full detection device 37b fully detects them. Loading continues until it is stowed.

Similarly, when storing 1,000 yen notes in the denomination storage 8,
Loading continues until the appropriate number of sheets is reached.

This appropriate number is set, for example, to an appropriate number that leaves a space for storing banknotes to be deposited in a deposit transaction after loading banknotes. This may be uniformly determined empirically, or may be arbitrarily set depending on the installation environment of the automated teller machine and the specificity of the transaction day, such as when the transaction day falls at the end of the month.

The settings may be made, for example, by input from the staff member through the internal operation section 55 shown in FIG.

By the way, even if the loading of banknotes up to the predetermined appropriate number of bills into the denomination storage 8.9 is finished, if the denomination remains in the bulk storage 11, the switching gate 5
is activated to collect the transported banknotes into the stacking section 30 of the bulk storage 11 through the route indicated by the arrow (■).

This operation continues until there are no more banknotes on the stage 70 while appraising the banknotes on the stage 70 of the -bundle storage 11 through the route of ■, ■, ■, ■, ■, ■, ■. When the banknotes run out, the conveyance operation of the bulk takeout separation mechanism 23 and each travel path is stopped.

If the discriminating unit 4 determines that the banknote is a damaged note or a denomination for which a denomination storage box is not provided, for example, a 5,000 yen note in this embodiment, the switching gate 43.15 is activated to remove the banknote. , through the gates indicated by the arrows ■, ■, ■, ■, and are fed into the -bundle eject accumulation section 68. Then, the unfit notes and the like are accumulated in the -bundle ejection section 62.

When the above series of operations is completed, stages 45, 46.
The banknotes 47 are lowered all at once, and the banknotes accumulated on these stages are stored in the denomination storage 89.10, and the loading operation is completed. When the operation is finished, the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50
returns a device end response to the control unit 56. At this time, data on the number of sheets for each denomination loaded in each denomination storage section 8, 9, 10 is transmitted.

<Replenishment Operation> Since the replenishment operation is similar to the loading operation in the drawing, the replenishment operation will be explained using FIG. 13 again.

The replenishment operation mode includes a forced replenishment mode and an automatic replenishment mode. In the forced replenishment mode, the staff member operates the internal operation section 55.
When the replenishment key is pressed using the operation key (Fig. 4), the control unit 56 (Fig. 4) receives this input and issues a command to the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 (Fig. 4) to instruct the start of replenishment operation. By transmitting, the cash depositing and dispensing device control unit 80 (eighth
) or the command to start the replenishment operation from the control section 56 (the fourth
) and set the operation mode to replenishment mode,
You will be instructed to replenish the specified number of coins for the specified denomination. In addition, in the forced replenishment mode, replenishment is automatically executed upon detecting that the remaining amount of banknotes in any of the denomination storages 8, 9, or 10 becomes less than a predetermined number during a transaction operation.

In the forced replenishment mode, if the end is detected, a response with information indicating that it is not in an operable state is sent back to the control unit 56 (FIG. 4). Of course, similar processing is performed even in automatic replenishment mode.

On the other hand, if the end is not detected and it is determined that replenishment can be performed, the replenishment operation is started. In this case, the first
In FIG. 3, the bulk takeout/separation mechanism 23 at the top of the bulk storage 11 is activated to feed out the banknotes set in the bulk storage 11 one by one from the top. This bill passes through the routes indicated by the arrows ■, ■, ■, ■ and is sent to the discrimination section 4.

The discrimination section 4 sequentially discriminates the denomination, authenticity, fitness, and running condition of the incoming banknotes. For example, if the banknote to be refilled is one denomination of either a 10,000 yen note or a 1,000 yen note, the banknote that is judged to be a genuine note other than the banknote to be refilled as a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 4 is , ■,
Follow the route (■), activate the switching gate 15, and -
It is sent to the accumulation section 30 of the bulk storage 11.

For banknotes that are determined to be Shekt banknotes based on the discrimination results, the switching gate 43.15 is activated to display ■, ■, ■, [
phase], and is sent to the -bound eject accumulation section 68. These banknotes are accumulated in the bundle ejection section 62 of the bundle storage 11 .

Now, if the correct bill of the banknote to be replenished is delivered,
As explained in the section on loading, if it is a 1,000 yen note, the 1,000 yen note switching gate 57 is activated to send it to the 1,000 yen note stacking section 27, where it is directly stacked on the 1,000 yen note stage 45. If it is a 10,000 yen note, the 10,000 yen note switching gate 31 or 32 is activated and the note is sent to the 10,000 yen note accumulation section 28 or 29. Then, they are directly accumulated on the ten thousand yen bill stage 46 or 47.

The above operations will continue until the target number of sheets is replenished, but
During the process, if the number of sheets accumulated in any of the stages 45, 46, 4, or 7 reaches the holding allowable value, for example, 100 sheets, the operation of the bulk unloading separation mechanism 23 is interrupted, and the cassettes that have reached the holding allowable value are The stage is lowered by a motor (not shown) by an amount equivalent to the holding tolerance value, and the batch extraction/separation mechanism 23 is operated again to repeat the replenishment operation.

When the number of sheets to be replenished reaches the target value, the -batch unloading separation mechanism 23
stops. And the last bill or stage 45, 46
．． 47, the conveyance operation stops. stage 45
, 46, 47, the stage on which the replenishment operation has been performed is lowered, and the banknotes accumulated on the stage are stored in either the corresponding denomination storage 89 or IO, and the replenishment operation is completed.

When the cash deposit/withdrawal device control unit 80 (FIG. 8) receives a command to start a collection operation from the control unit 56 (FIG. 4), it determines whether this is a forced collection or an automatic collection. In the case of forced collection, all banknotes are unconditionally collected from the denomination storage 8.9.10 to the bulk storage 11. Further, automatic collection is executed when the number of banknotes stored in any of the denomination storages 8, 9, 10 exceeds a predetermined number. In these cases, the operating mode or collection mode is set, and it is confirmed that the near-full detector 38d of the bulk storage 11 does not detect a near-full.

In this way, when it is confirmed that there is a space remaining in the bulk storage 11 that can be recovered, a recovery operation is started.

First, when collecting banknotes from the denomination storage 10 that stores 10,000 yen bills, the 10,000 yen bill removal and separation mechanism 22 is activated to remove the banknotes stored in the 10,000 yen bill storage 10 from above. The sheets are fed out one by one in order and sent to the discrimination section 4 through the routes ■■ and ■. The discrimination section 4 sequentially discriminates the authenticity and detects the running state of the incoming banknotes and sends them to the rear.

As a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 4, if two or more bills are detected to be overlapping (driving), skewed, etc., the bills pass through the route (■), the switching gelt 43 is activated, and the bills are sent to the reject cassette 7 via the route (2) and (3). sent to.

As a result of the discrimination, normal banknotes are stored in the bulk stacking section 3 without being counted.
sent to 0. This operation is repeated until the target number of bills to be collected is reached or until there are no more bills set in the denomination storage 10 that stores ten thousand yen bills.

The collection operations for the other denomination storages 9.8 are similar.

In addition, during the collection operation, the full detection 13 of the bulk storage 11 is detected.

In response to this notification, the automated teller machine control unit 560 displays the details of the deposit on the customer operation unit 54, and when the customer presses a confirmation key (not shown), the transaction is completed, and the automated teller machine control unit 560 first When the details of the transaction are notified to the center and confirmed, the data from addresses m to m+2 in each transaction cumulative total and number of sheets sampled storage unit 562 are updated, and the data from address m to m+2 is sent to the passbook entry machine 53 to print out the transaction details and write the passbook. It instructs the cart reader/writer 52 to return the cash card, and the cash deposit/withdrawal device 5 to store the deposited coins. When these θ operations are completed, the deposit transaction ends.

In addition, when the customer presses the cancellation key if the customer does not agree with the displayed deposit details, the center is first notified of the cancellation of the deposit, and upon confirmation, the cash card is returned to the card reader/writer 52. '' Instructs the bookkeeping machine 53 to return the passbook and the cash deposit device 50 to return the cash. When these operations are completed, the deposit transaction is also completed.

<When abnormal operation occurs> Next, we will explain the process to be performed when an abnormal operation occurs in the device.

FIG. 15 shows a processing flowchart when an abnormality occurs in the operation of the apparatus of the present invention. The following explanation will be continued with reference to this flowchart.

Now, if a failure occurs in the cash deposit/withdrawal device 5o during the deposit processing operation or during the return operation of deposit cancellation (step S1 in FIG. 15), the cash deposit/withdrawal device 50 will notify the automatic teller machine control 560 (Step S2 in FIG. 15).

Then, in the case of a failure during the deposit processing operation, the automatic teller machine control unit 560 notifies the center to cancel the deposit transaction (step S3 in FIG. 15), and after confirmation, the customer operation unit 54
A display prompting the person to call an attendant is displayed (step S4 in FIG. 15). At the same time, the internal operation unit 569 is instructed to remove the error code and deposited coins and display the message "Customer" (Step S5 in FIG. 15).
).

That is, the wording marked ■ in note A of the figure is displayed.

As a result, the staff member pulls out the deposited coins from the conveyance path (first
After returning the cash to the customer (step S6 in FIG. 5) and performing failure recovery processing (step S7 in FIG. Figure step 58) 6, that is, display L
The number of 10,000 yen notes drawn out is displayed on the CD panel 606, and when the clerk presses the confirmation key after inputting the number, the number of 5,000 yen notes, then the number of 1,000 yen notes is displayed. When the i confirmation key is pressed after inputting the number of thousand yen notes, the transaction of the deposit transaction is sent to the lowest numbered address for which data is not stored in the sampling number storage area of the cumulative transaction memory 562. Set a flag before establishment (step S10 in FIG. 15,
Note B■), the number of each sampled sheet is stored in the following address.

Note that the stored contents of the status information of this step SIO are different for each process such as deposit processing and withdrawal processing, so the contents are shown in Note B of the figure. In the deposit processing, ■ in Note B is executed.

When cash is removed from the conveyance path, the center or the like detects the opening of the conveyance path and turns on the flag of the monitoring device 570.

This flag is turned off when the above-mentioned input of the sampling denomination and quantity is completed. This enables the automated teller machine to make transactions. That is, until then, transaction operations of the device are prohibited to prevent forgetting to enter the device.

On the other hand, during the storage operation after the deposit transaction is established, the cash deposit/withdrawal device 5

.

As a result, when the clerk extracts the withdrawn coins and hands them over to the originator (step S6 in FIG. 15) and performs failure recovery processing (step S7 in FIG. 15), the automatic teller machine 560 displays the display LCD panel 606. A display is displayed to input the number of coins pulled out, etc. (step S8 in FIG. 15). Here, when the clerk presses the confirmation key after inputting the number of 10,000 yen notes and 1,000 yen notes (step S9 in FIG. , set a flag before the completion of a withdrawal transaction to the address with the lowest number for which data has not been stored (step S1o in Figure 15, note B■), store each number of coins sampled in the subsequent addresses, and set the address The cumulative number of sheets sampled from m+90 to m+92 is updated. As a result, the automated teller machine becomes ready for transactions (Step 511 in Figure 15)
.

On the other hand, if a failure occurs in the cash depositing and dispensing device 50 during the delivery operation after the withdrawal transaction is established, the process moves from step S1 in FIG. 560. Then, the automatic teller machine control unit 560 performs the same process as described above (steps 5l-3ll in FIG. 15). However, the cash extracted by the clerk is handed over to the customer rather than to the cashier (Step S5 in Figure 15, Note A■), and the data in the cumulative total of each transaction and number of withdrawn coins storage unit 562 is stored after the withdrawal transaction is completed. flag, and the total number of sampled sheets from addresses rn+90 to m+92 is not updated (Step 5IO in Figure 15).
