First, features according to embodiments of the present invention will be described.

The bill handling apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a bill acceptance section for accepting or discharging a bill, a bill discriminating section for reading the unique information of the bill and discriminating at least the denomination and authenticity of the bill, A plurality of banknote storage housings for storing the deposited banknotes or storing the banknotes for withdrawal and a plurality of banknote receivers for passing banknotes through the banknote discriminating section and for connecting the banknote storage section, A plurality of detecting means for detecting the positional information of the banknote to be conveyed and provided on the banknote conveying path, and banknote discriminating means for discriminating the banknote discriminating information and the banknote discriminating information on the basis of the discrimination information about the denomination or authenticity discriminated by the banknote discriminating portion, A control unit for storing the unique information of the banknote and the position information of the banknote in correspondence with each other or storing the information in the storage unit; If present in, characterized by having a display unit for displaying the determination information, bill-specific information and the location information of the banknote in the banknote. By displaying the positional information of the banknote and the unique information in correspondence with each other in this manner, the banknote to be removed is revealed, and it is possible to prevent the banknote from being taken out forgotten.

When the conveyance failure of the bank notes occurs at the deposit counting, the control unit returns the bank notes remaining in the conveying path from the deposit-and-withdrawal port section to the banknote discriminating section to the deposit-and-withdrawal port section, The identification information of the remaining banknotes, the unique information, and the positional information on the display unit. By making the bill not determined to remain on the conveying path in this manner, it is possible to suppress the take-out forgetting of the remaining bank notes.

The unique information of the bank notes identified by the bank note discriminating unit at the time of the deposit count is stored in the storage unit in the order in which they are accumulated in the temporary storage unit and if the conveyance failure of the bank notes occurred at the time of half- The unique information stored at the deposit counting step is displayed when the unique information is not read out from the paper money discriminating part for the paper money remaining in the conveying path after being discharged from the temporary storage part. In the case where the unique information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit at the time of storage is stored in the storage unit in the order of accumulation in the banknote storage unit and when the conveyance failure of the banknote occurs at the time of banknote withdrawal, And the unique information stored at the time of storing the banknote is displayed when the banknote discriminating unit does not read the unique information with respect to the banknotes left in the conveying path. Thus, even if the unique information can not be obtained when the banknote is half-angled or when the banknote is stored, the banknote to be removed can be specified by displaying the unique information at the time of banknote deposit counting.

In addition, when only a part of the unique information of the banknote is read by the banknote discriminating unit at the time of occurrence of the conveyance failure, the readout part of the unique information is displayed, and the display unit displays a screen urging the user to remove the banknotes left. . When the control unit detects that the banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage unit or the banknote storage unit by the detection sensor, the control unit stores the identification information and the unique information of the accumulated banknotes in the storage unit in association with the deposit number information And after that, the unique information of the paper currency succeeded from the temporary storage section or paper currency storage section is stored in the control section and deleted from the storage section. Here, it is preferable that the unique information of the banknote is information on a serial number, and the banknote discriminating unit preferably discriminates the state of the banknote in addition to the denomination and authenticity of the banknote. When the banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage section and the banknote storage section, the banknote information is stored in the storage section. On the other hand, when the banknotes are discharged from the temporary storage section and the banknote storage section, It is possible to suppress the load on the control unit by minimizing the amount of data to be stored in the control unit.

Next, a banknote discriminating section for reading the unique information of the banknote and for discriminating the denomination and authenticity of the banknote, a temporary storage section for temporarily accumulating the deposited banknote, A plurality of banknote storage housings for storing the deposited banknotes or storing the banknotes for withdrawal, a banknote transportation path for passing through the banknote discriminating portion, connecting the deposit-and-withdrawal port portion, the temporary storage portion and the banknote storage portion, A plurality of detecting means for detecting positional information of the banknote to be conveyed and banknote discriminating means for conveying banknotes based on the discrimination information about the denomination or authenticity discriminated by the banknote discriminating portion, And stores the position information of the banknote in the storage unit in association with the position information of the banknote stored in the banknote storing unit. And the unique information of the removed bank notes is read by the bank note discrimination unit and the fact that the unique information of the stored bank notes and the unique information of the removed bank notes which coincide with the deposited bank notes coincide with each other The recovery process is started. If there is a remaining paper currency, the control unit displays the unique information and positional information of the paper currency remaining on the transport path on the display unit, It is urged to remove one banknote and remove the remaining banknotes, then urges the inserted banknote to be inserted into the deposit / withdrawal bank section, and the money is transferred to the banknote discriminating section, and the unique information of the inserted banknote removed and the unique information And judges the result. In this way, the recovery process is started only when the bill information stored as the residual bill is compared with the bill information of the removed bill. If the recovery process is started only when they are compared with each other, Since the recovery process is started later, it is possible to shorten the time to completion of the recovery. When the conveyance failure of the bank notes occurs at the deposit counting, the control unit returns the bank notes remaining in the conveying path from the deposit-and-withdrawal port section to the banknote discriminating section to the deposit-and-withdrawal port section, And displays the unique information and positional information of the banknotes remaining in the banknote on the display unit to urge the banknote to be removed from the banknote.

Next, the recovery start method at the time of the conveyance failure according to the present embodiment includes a step of storing unique information of the banknotes left in the conveying path at the time of occurrence of the conveyance failure, a step of prompting to display and remove the position of the remaining banknotes And a step of comparing the unique information of the banknote storing the unique information with the unique information of the inserted banknote to determine whether or not the banknote has been removed. And a step of initiating the operation.

Next, this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. First, Fig. 1 is an example of an external view of a banknote handling apparatus according to the present embodiment. The automatic teller machine 101 of this embodiment is provided with a card specification table processing mechanism 102 for processing a transaction card or a transaction specification sheet of a customer, an passbook processing mechanism 103 for processing a passbook, a housing 104, And an operation display unit 105 for inputting information necessary for the user to input or display or inputting information for confirmation by a staff member. In addition, although the automatic teller machine 101 uses the same operation display unit 105 as the user, the operation display unit dedicated to the operator may be provided unlike the user. In addition, the housing 104 has a banknote deposit / withdrawal apparatus 1 therein. 2 is a control block diagram of the apparatus according to the present embodiment. The card specification table processing mechanism 102, the passbook processing mechanism 103, the operation display section 105 and the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 are connected to the main body control section 106 via the bus 110, And performs necessary operations under control. In addition, the interface unit 107, the yaw operation unit 108, and the external storage device 109 are also connected via the bus 110, and necessary data exchange is performed, but a detailed description is omitted. In addition, the above-mentioned mechanisms and components are supplied with electric power by the power supply unit 111.

Next, Fig. 3 shows an example of the configuration of the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 mounted on the automatic teller machine 101, and Fig. 4 shows an example of the control mechanism. The bank note depositing and dispensing apparatus 1 has a deposit and withdrawal port 2 for inserting and receiving bank notes and a bank note discriminating section 3 for discriminating the denomination, authenticity or state of each bank note to be conveyed. Particularly, the bill discriminating section 3 reads the unique information of the bill (for example, a base number printed on a bill, indicating information that can uniquely or uniquely specify the bill) And the like. A temporary storage section 4 for temporarily storing the deposited bank notes during the period until the transaction is established, a bank note for storing the bank notes handled by the bank note receipt and payout apparatus 1, a bank note for storing the bank notes, Conveying passages 5a to 5e for conveying banknotes, and conveying route sensors 13a to 13i for detecting the passage of banknotes. Here, the bank bill is classified according to its role. For example, a bank bill 6 for storing a banknote that is not treated as a withdrawal of a rejected banknote or the like, which is judged to have collapsed in a part of the banknote, There is a reflux storage 7 to 10 for storing and discharging for each denomination of bills. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, a deposit box 6 is provided on the lower right side. Among the deposited banknotes, the banknotes judged to be unsuitable for withdrawal due to folding or the like are stored in the deposit box 6. [ And reflux heights (7 to 10) are provided in the second to fifth places from the lower right. In the reflux furnace (7-10), bills are stored for each denomination, and the stored bills are discharged at the time of withdrawal. For example, from the left, it can be a reflux for 10 euro banknote, 50 euro banknote, 100 euro banknote, 200 euro banknote.

The banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 also includes a storage unit 11, and the storage unit 11 has a plurality of storage areas. First, in the first storage area, when the banknote temporarily stored in the temporary storage section 4 is transported to the destination of the banknote determined by the control section 12, the banknote discriminating section 3 determines the banknote Information (identification information of banknotes, genuine status or status of bills), and deposit order number information (order of conveying bills). On the other hand, in the second storage area, with respect to the banknotes transported to the deposit-and-withdrawal port 2, the banknotes stored in the respective cassettes of the return flow passages 7 to 10 are provided in the third to sixth areas, 3), identification information (information that identifies the denomination, authenticity, or state of the banknote), and the banknote order number information (the order of conveying the banknotes). The control unit 12 receives the bill detection signals from the conveyance sensors 13a to 13i. The main control unit 106 is connected to the main control unit 106 via the bus 110 and performs control of the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 in accordance with a command from the main body control unit 106 and a state detection of the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1, And sends the state of the apparatus 1 to the body control unit as needed.

5 is a diagram showing the conveyance position information of bank notes. Conveyance positions 501 to 519 obtained by dividing a bill of the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 into a mechanism for inserting and receiving bank notes and a conveyance route and dividing the conveyance route into conveyance route sensors 13a to 13i. The control unit 12 monitors the conveying position of the banknote to be conveyed by using the conveying route sensors 13a to 13i and stores the corresponding conveying position in Fig. 5 in the built-in memory of the control unit 12. [

The user executes various transactions by the automated teller machine 101, but typical transactions include a deposit transaction and a withdrawal transaction. In the deposit transaction, when the user inserts the banknote into the deposit-and-withdrawal port 2 and confirms the amount deposited in the operation display unit 105, if the deposit is good, pressing the OK button to terminate the transaction, There is a case in which the bill that has been pressed down and put in is half-finished and terminated. Here, the process of the deposit coefficient process, the deposit deposit process, and the deposit half-angle process will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. Further, in the withdrawal transaction, in accordance with the withdrawal amount inputted by the user from the operation display unit 105, the withdrawal processing is carried out to withdraw the banknotes from the refund denomination of each denomination of the refund denomination (7 to 10) .

(Example 1)

As the first embodiment, description will be given of a case where a failure occurs in the deposit coefficient process. First, the deposit coefficient process executed in the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 5, Fig. 6, and Fig. In the deposit coefficient process of the banknote deposit and dispensing apparatus 1, when a user inserts a banknote into the depository 2, the banknote is separated one by one from the depository 2 and carried on the conveyance route 5a. The denominations and authenticity of each banknote transported to the transporting path are discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3, and the base number, which is unique information of the banknote, is read. At this time, the control unit 12 determines the destination of the banknote based on the discrimination information which is the discrimination result obtained by discriminating the banknotes of the banknote discriminating unit 3. In the determination of this destination, the destination of the banknote determined by the banknote discriminating unit 3 as the right bank is determined in accordance with the operating method of the return bank 7. For example, in the operation method in which the 10-euro banknote is stored in the reflux port 10, when the type of the banknote is determined to be 10 euros by the banknote discrimination unit 3, The final destination is determined to be the return conveyer 10 and is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 4 before being returned to the final destination. The control unit 12 also controls the banknote discriminating unit 3 to detect banknotes that can not be denominated, banknotes of a different dimension, banknotes that can not acquire the unique information, 2 as the reject stacker 14, and determines it as the final destination. This is to judge that it is not recognized as a banknote, and to give the user a half angle. Thus, in the banknote receipt and dispensing apparatus 1, the banknotes discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3, the banknote which can not discriminate the denomination, the unique information of the banknote is not read or can not be acquired, To the deposit / withdrawal port 2 (reject stacker 14) without passing through the conveyor unit 4, but the other banknotes are conveyed to the temporary storage unit 4. [

The control unit 12 monitors the above-described conveying route sensors 13a to 13i until the paper currency passed from the deposit / withdrawal port 2 is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 4 or the deposit / withdrawal port 2. [ The bill succeeded from the deposit-and-withdrawal port 2 monitors the passage of the banknote from the conveyance route sensor 13a for the first time. When the conveyance path sensor 13a detects passage of the bill, the information on the conveyance position of the bill is stored. The conveying position is positional information obtained by dividing the conveying path of Fig. 5 by the conveying path sensors 13a to 13i and is defined up to the conveying positions 501 to 519 as shown in Fig. 5, And stores the conveying position information of the banknote each time it is detected. In the deposit coefficient process, when the conveyance path sensor 13a detects passage of a bill, the control unit 12 stores the conveyance position 502 as the conveyance position information of the detected bill. Next, the conveyance path sensor 13b monitors the passage of paper money. When the conveyance path sensor 13b detects passage of the banknote, the stored conveyance position information is updated to the conveyance position 503. It also monitors what is discriminated by the banknote discriminating section (3). When the banknote discriminating unit 3 discriminates the banknote, the banknote discriminating unit 3 correlates the unique information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3, the discrimination information (the information of the denomination of the banknote, the authenticity or the status of the banknote) (12), and determines the destination from the identification information of the banknote by the above-described method.

When the destination determined based on the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 is the temporary storage section 4, the conveyance path sensor 13c monitors passage of the banknotes. When the conveyance path sensor 13c detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 updates the conveyance position information stored in association with the unique information of the banknote and the discrimination information of the banknote to the conveying position 504. Subsequently, when it is detected that the sheet is transported to the temporary storage section 4 and the transported sheet is detected, the control section 12 stores the unique information and discrimination information of the stored bank notes and the deposit order information returned to the temporary storage section 4 And stores the unique information, the discrimination information, and the conveyance position information of the conveyed banknotes stored in the first storage area of the storage unit 11 and stored in the control unit 12 in association with each other. On the other hand, when the destination determined by the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 is the depository / withdrawal section 2, the conveyance route sensor 13d monitors passage of the banknotes. When the conveyance path sensor 13d detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 updates the conveyance position information stored in association with the unique information and the discrimination information of the banknote to the conveying position 505. [ Subsequently, when it is detected that the banknotes are conveyed to the depositing and dispensing section 2 and the banknotes are conveyed, the control section 12 associates the stored unique information and discrimination information with the banking order number information returned to the depository and withdrawal section 2 The identification information, and the conveyance position information stored in the second storage area of the storage unit 11 and stored in the control unit 12 are deleted.

6A and 6B, a description will be given of a method of displaying fault information when an obstacle occurs in the banknote transportation and the banknote remains in the conveying route in the deposit coefficient process. When the banknotes remain in the conveying path, the banknote remaining on the conveying path 5a is transferred from the depositing and dispensing section 2 to the deposit-and-withdrawal section 2, The banknotes are returned to the deposit / withdrawal portion 2 by operating the banknotes in the reverse direction. Since the unique information and the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3 do not exist, it is possible to prevent the forgetting of taking-out caused by the absence of information to be compared when the banknotes remove the remaining banknotes. First, the operation display unit 105 displays unique information of each banknote left on the conveying path, discrimination information (information on the denomination, authenticity or status of the banknote), and conveying position information. In Fig. 6A, a total of four bills remain in the transporting positions 503 to 505, and the control unit 12 passes the stored bills information to the main body control unit 106 via the bus unit 110, The main body control section 106 displays the operation display section 105. [

6B, the LMN 678 is read as unique information in the bill discriminating section 3, and it is judged that discrimination information is in a good state with respect to the state of 100 euros for the denomination and the true state for the true denomination. Therefore, the control section 12 determines the temporary storage section 4 as the destination according to the method of determining the destination of the banknote. The failure occurred during the conveyance to the temporary storage section 4 and remained at the conveyance position 504 of the conveyance route. Likewise, the remaining bank notes 62 and 63 are bank notes determined by the transient storage unit 4 as the transfer destination. In the residual bank notes 64, the bank note identification unit 3 can read only a part as unique information, For the gold coin, it is determined that it is unclear about the truth, truth is unknown, and the state is contaminated. In order to return to the user, the transfer destination is determined as the deposit / withdrawal portion 2, and the failure occurred during the transfer to the deposit / withdrawal portion 2 and remained at the transfer position 505 of the transfer path. Here, if the identification information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3 does not exist, or if only a part of the unique information of the banknote is read out due to the bad conveyance state such as skew or the contamination of the banknote, The unread characters are indicated by "*".

Next, a method of removing the remaining bank notes by using the residual bank bill information displayed on the operation display unit 105 by the clerk will be described with reference to Figs. 7A and 7B. The automatic teller machine stops the operation of the apparatus and notifies the occurrence of the trouble when a trouble occurs during the transaction. Upon receipt of the failure occurrence notification, the manager determines the remaining position of the banknote by viewing the initial screen of the remaining banknote information displayed on the operation display section 105 in Fig. 7A. Thereafter, the conveying mechanism of bank notes is manually rotated to move the bank notes of the conveying path to a position where it is easy to take out, and removed from the conveying path. If the unique information and the denomination of the removed banknote are visually discriminated and the banknote information matching the unique information among the remaining banknote information displayed on the operation display unit 105 is found, the "remove" button of the matching residual banknote information is selected, It is displayed as banknotes. Here, the screen during the operation of the residual bill information in Fig. 7B shows already-removed bills already displayed on the operation display section 105 and remaining bill information that has not been removed, and the remaining bills 61 and 64 are already removed , And the remaining bank notes 62 and 63 are not removed. The controller presses the " OK " button on the operation display unit 105 after all bills have been removed. If there is even one unfinished piece of information in which the "remove" button is not pressed in the residual bill information of the operation display section 105, the operation display section 105 displays the initial screen of the residual bill information as the information at the time of occurrence of the trouble So that the manager can perform the removal operation. The main body control unit 106 notifies the control unit 12 of completion of the residual information confirmation via the bus unit 110. [ Upon receipt of the notification, the control unit 12 erases all the stored remaining bill information and proceeds to the recovery process. If the "remove" button of all the remaining bill information displayed on the operation display unit 105 is not pressed in this manner, it is structured such that the bill can not be recovered because there is a forgetting to take out the bill. The bill can be prevented from being forgotten to be taken out and recovered in a state in which all the banknotes are removed.

(Example 2)

Next, a description will be given of a case where a failure occurs in the deposit / settlement processing. First, the deposit payment processing will be described with reference to Figs. 3, 4, 5, 8A and 8B. This deposit receiving process shows the result of counting banknotes on the operation display unit 105. After confirming the amount of money deposited by the user with respect to the user, processing of the banknote receipt and payout apparatus 1 when banknotes are stored in the banknote bill . The bank note depositing and dispensing apparatus 1 removes bank notes from the temporary storage section 4 onto the conveying path 5c. The banknotes to be conveyed are discriminated again by the banknote discriminating section 3 and are discriminated from the discrimination information by the banknote discriminating section 3 to the conveying destinations (the return vaults 7 to 10, the deposit vaults 6) determined by the control section 12, And stores them in the respective bank notes. The control unit 12 controls the conveyance path sensors 13a to 13i to perform the monitoring by using the above-described conveyance path sensors 13a to 13i until the banknotes that have been passed from the temporary storage unit 4 are conveyed to the reflux ports 7 to 10 or the deposit box 6. [ do. The bill succeeded from the temporary storage section 4 monitors the passage of the banknote from the conveyance route sensor 13c for the first time. When the passage sensor 13c detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 stores the banknote stored in the temporary storage unit 4 in the first area of the storage unit 11, Information regarding the banknote whose settlement order number information is last among the banknote information, the discrimination information (information that discriminates the denomination of the banknote, the authenticity or the state), and the banknote order number information as the banknote information at the deposit coefficient processing, In this case, the transporting position 503). At this time, the information of the banknotes whose deposit order number information of the first area of the storage unit 11 is last is deleted. Then, monitoring is made to pass through the conveyance path sensors 13b, 13a, and 13e in order. When the passage of the banknote is detected by the conveyance path sensor 13b, the controller 12 updates the conveying position information of the banknote stored in the control unit 12 to the conveying position 502 and the passage of the banknote by the conveying route sensor 13a The control unit 12 updates the conveyance position information of the banknotes stored in the conveyance position 501. [ At this time, the discrimination is made in the banknote discriminating part 3, but when the control part 12 detects that the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating part 3, the banknote discriminating part 3 (Unique information of the banknote and discrimination information) at the deposit count already stored and the banknote information at the transferring position (the banknote identification information and the discriminating information) Information (in this case, the conveying position 501), and also determines the conveying destination from the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 by the above-described method.

Next, the conveyance path sensor 13e monitors the passage of banknotes. When the conveyance path sensor 13e detects the passage of the banknote, the stored conveyance position information is updated to the conveyance position 506. [ Further, when the destination determined by the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 is the deposit box 6, it monitors that the banknote is conveyed to the deposit box 6. [ When the conveyance destination determined based on the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 is the reflux column 7, the conveyance path sensor 13f is monitored next. In the case of the reflux column 8, 13g and 13h in the order of the conveyance path sensors 13f and 13g and in the case of the return flow 9 in the order of the conveyance path sensors 13f and 13g and 13h, , 13h, 13i) of the banknotes. When the control unit 12 detects the passage of the banknote from the conveying route sensors 13f to 13i, the control unit 12 updates the conveying position information of the stored banknote to the conveying positions 507 to 510, respectively. When the passage of the banknote is detected by the last conveyance path sensor among the conveyance path sensors sequentially monitored, the control section 12 monitors the conveyance of the banknote to the conveyance destination return passage 7 to 10 next. When it is detected that the banknote is conveyed to the deposit box 6, the control unit 12 deletes the unique information of the banknote, the discrimination information and the conveyance position information at the time of the deposit count stored in the deposited banknote and in the deposit storage do. On the other hand, when it is detected that the banknotes are brought into the reflux passages 7 to 10, the control unit 12 stores the unique information of the banknotes read by the banknote discriminating unit 3 in the stored deposit processing of the transported banknotes, Banknote discrimination information and depositing order number information conveyed to the respective refluxing bases 7 to 10 are correlated and stored in the third to sixth storing areas corresponding to the reflux bases 7 to 10 of the storage unit 11, The control unit 12 deletes the banknote information of the conveyed banknotes stored therein.

In the deposit payment processing, when a trouble occurs in the transportation and the banknotes remain in the transportation path, unique information of each banknote left in the operation display unit 105 and the deposit information at the time of deposit storage, True " or " state ") and transport position information. By displaying the unique information and the discrimination information of the banknote at the deposit counting, even when the banknote discriminating unit 3 does not have the unique information or the discrimination information at the time of depositing the banknote, , Because there is information to compare. Next, with reference to Fig. 8, a description will be given of a method of displaying fault information when a fault occurs during transfer of bank notes and the banknotes remain in the transfer path in the deposit and receipt processing. In FIG. 8A, six bank notes in total remain on the conveying paths 5a to 5e in the deposit receiving processing, and the control unit 12 receives the remaining banknotes stored in the main body control unit 106 via the bus unit 110 The main body control unit 106 displays the information on the banknotes on the operation display unit 105. [

The remaining bank notes 81 in Fig. 8B reads ABC 123 as unique information in the banknote discriminating section 3 at the time of depositing and depositing processing, and as the discrimination information, 10 euros for the denomination, State. It is also the same as the unique information and discrimination information of the banknote read by the banknote discriminating section 3 at the deposit counting. Accordingly, the control unit 12 determines the return flow path 10 as a destination according to the method of determining the destination of the banknote. However, the residual paper currency 81 has remained in the conveying position 510 of the conveying path due to a trouble occurring during conveyance to the reflux tray 10. Since the denomination read by the bill discriminating section 3 is 10 euros, the remaining bill 82 is also a bill determined by the return destination 10 as the denomination of the denomination, and the remaining denomination 83 has the denomination information of 50 euros , And the banknote is determined as the return destination by the return flow path 8, and remains on the conveying route 5e. In the residual bill 84, the bill discriminating section 3 can read only a part as unique information, and the unreaded character is indicated as " * ", and the read portion is displayed. As the discrimination information, , It is judged that it is unclear about authenticity, and it is torn state about the state. Because it is unknown of the denomination, we decided transfer (6) as return destination. The failure occurred during conveyance to the deposit box 6 and remained at the conveyance position 506 of the conveyance route. Since the remaining bank notes 85 and 86 have suffered a trouble before they are discriminated by the bank note discriminating section 3, there is no unique information of the bank note at the time of depositing the bank notes, no discrimination information of the bank notes, all of them are unknown, (For example, KLM 357 as identification information, 100 euros for denominations as denomination information, and a denomination for authenticity) as information unique to the banknote, identification information of the banknotes (for example, A good state). The method of removing the remaining bank notes in the deposit receiving process is removed by using the residual bank bill information displayed on the operation display unit 105 as in the first embodiment.

(Example 3)

Next, a description will be given of a case where a failure occurs in the deposit half-angle processing. First, the deposit half-angle processing will be described with reference to Figs. 3, 4, and 5. Fig. In the deposit half-angle process, when the user cancels the deposit transaction by pressing the half-angle button in confirming the deposit amount displayed on the operation display unit 105, the banknote temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 4 is returned to the deposit / 2). ≪ / RTI >

The bank note depositing and dispensing apparatus 1 carries bills from the temporary storage section 4 onto the conveying path 5c and conveys bills to the deposit and withdrawal port 2 at the destination. The control unit 12 uses the conveyance route sensors 13c and 13b to monitor the bank notes received from the temporary storage unit 4 until the bank notes are conveyed to the reject stacker 14 of the depositing and dispensing unit 2. [ The bill succeeded from the temporary storage section 4 monitors the passage of the banknote from the conveyance route sensor 13c for the first time. When the conveyance path sensor 13c detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 reads the unique information of the banknote stored in association with the first area of the storage unit 11, discrimination information (denomination, (Information that identifies the transfer position information 503), information indicating the last of the transfer order number information among the transfer order number information is stored in association with the transfer position information (in this case, the transfer position 503) as the bank note information at the deposit counting time. At this time, the information of the banknote whose deposit order number information of the first area of the storage unit 11 last is deleted.

And then monitors passing through the conveyance route sensor 13b. When the passage of the banknote is detected by the conveying route sensor 13b, the control unit 12 updates the conveying position information of the banknote stored in the conveying position 501. Here, what is discriminated by the bill discriminating section 3 is monitored. When it is detected that the banknote has been discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3, the unique information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3, discrimination information (information that discriminates the denomination, authenticity or state of the banknote) (Information unique to the banknote and identification information) and transfer position information (transfer position 501 in this case) are stored in association with the banknote information. Next, the deposit / withdrawal unit 2 monitors the banknotes being transported. When the control unit 12 detects that the banknotes are transported to the deposit-and-withdrawal unit 2, the control unit 12 determines whether the banknotes read by the banknote discrimination unit 3 in the deposit half- The banknote information of the banknote which has been stored in the control section 12 in association with the banknote identification information and the banknote number information is stored in the second storage area of the storage section 11,

When the banknotes remain in the conveying path due to the occurrence of an interruption in the transfer half-angle processing, unique information of each banknote left in the operation display unit 105 at the time of deposit count and at the time of banknote deposit, True " or " state ") and transport position information. By displaying the unique information and the discrimination information of the banknote at the deposit counting, even when the banknote discriminating unit 3 does not have the unique information or the discrimination information at the deposit half angle, when the banknote or the like removes the remaining banknotes , There is information to be compared based on the unique information of the banknote, so that the forgetting-out can be prevented. In the deposit half-angle processing, a display method of the fault information when an obstacle occurs in the banknote transportation and the banknote remains in the transportation path is displayed in the same manner as in the second embodiment. The method of removing the remaining bank notes in the depositing half-angle processing is removed by using the residual bank bill information displayed on the operation display unit 105 as in the second embodiment.

(Example 4)

Next, a description will be given of a case where a fault occurs in the withdrawal processing. The withdrawal process for withdrawing from the reflux column 7 will be explained with reference to Figs. 3 to 5, 9A and 9B. The banknote depositing and dispensing apparatus 1 discharges the banknotes from the reflux tube 7 to the conveying path 5e. The banknote carrying the carrying path is discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 and from the discrimination information by the banknote discriminating section 3, the control section 12 judges whether or not the banknote rejection (not recognized as a banknote to be paid to the user) The delivery destination is determined to be the temporary storage section 4, and the non-delivery bills are determined to be the deposit / withdrawal port 2. The control unit 12 monitors the above-described conveying route sensors 13a to 13j until the banknotes forwarded from the return flow path 7 are conveyed to the deposit-and-withdrawal port 2 or the temporary storage unit 4. [ The paper currency succeeded from the reflux tray 7 monitors the passage of the paper money from the conveyance path sensor 13f first. When the conveyance path sensor 13f detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 stores the unique information of the banknote stored in association with the banknote stored in the return passage 7 in the third area of the storage unit 11 (In this case, the conveying position 506) as the banknote information at the time of the deposit processing, the discrimination information (the information of the denomination of the banknote, the authenticity or the status of the banknote) ). At this time, the information of the banknote whose deposit number information of the third area in the storage unit 11 last is deleted.

And then, passes through the conveyance path sensors 13e, 13a, and 13b in order. When the passage of the banknote is detected by the conveying route sensor 13e, the control unit 12 updates the conveying position information of the banknote stored in the conveying position 501. [ Next, when the conveyance path sensor 13a detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 updates the conveyance position information of the banknote stored in the conveyance position 502. [ When the passage of the banknote is detected by the conveying route sensor 13b, the control unit 12 updates the conveying position information of the banknote stored in the conveying position 503. It also monitors what is discriminated by the banknote discriminating section (3). When it is detected that the banknote has been discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3, the banknote discriminating unit 3 judges whether the banknote discriminating unit 3 has discriminated the banknote discrimination unit 3, (Unique information and discrimination information of the banknote) and the conveying position information (in this case, the conveying position 503) in association with the above-mentioned banknote information (the banknote unique information and the discriminating information) 3 determines the destination from the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the above-described method.

When the destination determined by the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 is the deposit / withdrawal port 2, the conveyance path sensor 13d monitors passage of the banknotes. The control unit 12 updates the conveying position information of the stored banknotes to the conveying position 505 when the conveying path sensor 13d detects passage of the banknotes. When the conveyance path sensor 13d detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 monitors that the banknote is brought into the deposit / withdrawal port 2 next. When it is detected that the banknotes are carried into the deposit-and-withdrawal port 2, the control unit 12 associates the identification information and the identification information of the banknote at the time of the withdrawal processing stored in the transported banknotes with the deposit number information, In the second storage area of the banknote storage unit 11, and deletes banknote information of the conveyed banknotes stored in the control unit 12. [ When the destination determined based on the discrimination information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating section 3 is the temporary storage section 4, the conveyance path sensor 13c monitors passage of the banknotes. When the conveyance path sensor 13c detects passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 updates the conveyance position information of the stored banknote to the conveyance position 504, respectively. When the conveyance path sensor 13c detects the passage of the banknote, the control unit 12 monitors that the banknote is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 4 next. Next, when it is detected that the banknotes are carried into the temporary storage section 4, the control section 12 associates the identification information and the identification information of the banknote at the time of the withdrawal processing stored in the received banknote with the deposit number information, And deletes the bill information of the conveyed bill stored in the first storage area of the billing unit 11 and stored in the control unit 12. [

In this series of withdrawal processing, when an obstacle occurs in the conveyance and bills remain in the conveying path, unique information of each banknote left in the operation display unit 105 at the time of withdrawal, deposit information, True state, or state), and conveyance position information. By displaying the unique information and the discrimination information of the bank notes at the time of depositing the deposit, even when the unique information or the discrimination information does not exist at the time of withdrawal, when the banker removes the remaining bank notes, Can be prevented. 9A and 9B, a description will be given of a method of displaying fault information when a banknote remains in the conveying path due to a trouble in conveying the banknote in the withdrawal processing. 9A, three banknotes in total remain in the conveying passages 5a to 5e in the withdrawal processing, and the control unit 12 controls the remaining banknotes stored in the main control unit 106 via the bus unit 110 And the main body control unit 106 displays the information on the operation display unit 105. [

9B, the bill discriminating section 3 reads the ACE 135 as the unique information, discriminates the denomination of the denomination of 200 euros as the discrimination information, . It is also the same as the unique information and the discrimination information of the banknote read by the banknote discriminating section 3 at the time of depositing. Therefore, although the control unit 12 determines the deposit / withdrawal unit 2 as the transfer destination in accordance with the above-described method of determining the transfer destination of the banknote, when the failure occurs in the transfer to the depository / withdrawal unit 2 and the transfer position 505 ). The remaining bill 92 can be read only as a part of the unique information of the bill 92. The discriminating information is discriminated as unidentified value for denomination, unknown for authenticity, and contaminated state for the denomination, And the failure occurred during the transportation to the temporary storage unit 4 and remained at the transporting position 503 of the transporting route. Since the residual bill 93 has a trouble before it is discriminated by the bill discriminating section 3, it is not known because there is no unique information and discrimination information of the bill at the time of withdrawal, and the bill discriminating section 3 As the unique information of the banknote, PRT 579, 200 Euros for denomination as the discrimination information, and a good state for the true state are displayed. As for the method of removing the residual paper money in the withdrawal process, the paper money is removed by using the residual paper money information displayed on the operation display unit 105 as in the first embodiment.

(Example 5)

Next, a description will be given of a banknote receipt and payout apparatus which compares the information of the residual banknote bill and the information of the removed banknote, and restores the information only when the information coincides with the information. First, in the deposit coefficient process, deposit half-angle process, deposit deposit process, and withdrawal process, the control unit 12 stores unique information of the banknote discriminated by the banknote discriminating unit 3 as in the first embodiment. When the banknote remains in the conveying path and a trouble occurs during the conveyance, the control unit 12 stores the unique information of the banknote remaining in the conveying path, and the banknote deposit / (Step 1001). At this time, the effect of stopping the handling may be displayed on the operation display unit. If there is no banknote remaining in the conveying path, the process proceeds to the recovery process (step 1006). On the other hand, when there is a banknote remaining in the conveying path (step 1002), the control section stores the banknote information such as the unique information of the residual banknote and the discrimination information, displays the position of the banknote remaining on the operation display section (step 1003) , And the remaining bank notes are removed from the bank account or the like which confirms the position of the bank notes by the operation display unit. Then, by using an operation display unit or the like, an instruction is made to put the removed banknote into the deposit-and-withdrawal unit 2 (step 1004). When the removed bank notes are inserted, a deposit coefficient process is carried out to restore the state in which normal transactions can be performed. At this time, the control unit 12 determines whether all the unique information of the bank notes remaining in the conveying path stored in the control unit at the time of occurrence of the trouble is included in the unique information read by the bank note discriminating unit (step 1005). If all pieces of unique information of the remaining bills are included, the process proceeds to the recovery process (step 1006). On the other hand, if all the unique information of the remaining bank notes is not included, it is determined that the remaining bank notes exist and the stop of the normal transaction is maintained, and the position of the remaining bank notes is displayed on the operation display section again to urge the remaining bank notes to be removed (Step 1003).

In this way, when it is impossible to confirm that the banknotes are completely removed in the deposit coefficient process for recovery, by employing a configuration in which the banknote can not be recovered because there is a forgetting to take out the banknote, when the banknote remains, It is possible to prevent the take-out of the banknotes from being forgotten and to recover the banknotes with all the banknotes removed.
