Deposit path 152 is by depositing path and form as the later half deposit path of store path as the first half of interim keeping route, this first half deposit path is that the bank note of accepting payment mechanism portion 110 from bank note is put into bucket 112, arrive the path till interim safe-deposit vault 116 via bank note reading part 160, this later half deposit path is to start to arrive the path till recovery storehouse 172 or the safe-deposit vault 173 of Storage Department 170 via bank note reading part 160 from interim safe-deposit vault 116.

Paying path 153 starts to arrive bank note via bank note reading part 160 by the recovery storehouse 172 from Storage Department 170 or safe-deposit vault 173 and accepts the path that the bank note of payment mechanism portion 110 pays till piler 114 and form.

Forget to fetch and receive path 154 and put into bucket 112 by the bank note of accepting payment mechanism portion 110 from bank note and start to arrive and forget to fetch the path of receiving till storehouse 176 and form via bank note reading part 160.

Bank note delivery section 150 is accepted the instruction of control part 200, says in detail it is the steering order of handling part 151 of depositing and withdrawing, and drives not shown conveying motor, carries out the conveying of bank note by conveying belt of being rotated in linkage with the output of this conveying motor etc.

Then, control part 200 describes the order of storing the sequence number of bank note or the image information of bank note in bank note delivery section 150 and bank note reading part 160.

Fig. 4 is the process flow diagram of the processing sequence while representing credit transaction.

During this deposit is processed, first, until depositor carries out credit transaction standby always (step S100).Having or not as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 of this credit transaction, accept portion 130 by depositor to card and insert card, depositor and accept to bankbook that portion 140 inserts bankbook, depositor operates to judge to showing the operation that the shown deposit of operating portion 120 is accepted.

If the credit transaction that the person of having money on deposit carries out, control part 200 interpretation depositors' deposit operation (step S102), determines depositor (step S104) according to the reading result of above-mentioned card or bankbook.

Determining after depositor, control part 200 instructions should be accepted the bank note delivery section 150 of the deposit of bank note and carry out being taken into of bank note.The handling part 151 of depositing and withdrawing carries out bank note accepts the Open control etc. of the gate 111 in payment mechanism portion 110, makes client insert deposit bank note the bank note that takes deposits (step S106).

That is, the deposit bank note receiving taken in as described above one by one to deposit path 152 after closed shutter 111 and be delivered to bank note reading part 160, the image of bank note is read to (step S108).

At this, the bank note of step S108 is carried and reading of banknote image moved as shown in the process flow diagram of Fig. 5.

Bank note reading part 160 is carried on one side and is transferred the deposit bank note (step S200) coming, and utilizes built-in scanner section 161 to scan one by one (step S202) on one side, and exports its scanning result to bank note judging part 163.

Bank note judging part 163 carries out Currency Type, the true and false judgement of bank note and exports to identification control part 162.Be to differentiate unclear situation maybe can not be judged as true bank note in the situation that in Currency Type, or being judged as in stained, damaged, state or the situation of more than 2 the overlapping conveying of bank note etc. that folded roll is curved of the bank note carried be not suitable for leaving in interim safe-deposit vault 116 in, for this bank note, identification control part 162 is returned depositor's instruction (step S204) to handling part 151 outputs of depositing and withdrawing via the B706 of intercommunication mechanism.

Above-mentioned scanning result and then be output to sequence number extraction unit 165, extracts the image information of the sequence number part of printing on bank note, and is kept in sequence number Identification Division 166 and identification storage part 167.Sequence number Identification Division 166 is used this sequence number image to carry out the character recognition of sequence number, and character recognition result is stored in to identification storage part 167 (step S206).Here the image information of so-called sequence number part refers to the image information in a part of region of the periphery that comprises sequence number.

By above-mentioned banknotes identifying result, this bank note meets in the situation of banknote image storage condition, and the image information of this bank note entirety etc. is saved to identification storage part 167 (step S208, S210).For banknote image storage condition, explanation in the back together with Fig. 9, Figure 10.Data explanation in the back together with Figure 11 of preserving in identification storage part 167 in addition.Such processing is put into till bucket 112 bank note that deposit in are all carried and is repeatedly carried out (step S212) at bank note.

If above-mentioned bank note is judged as and can not reads in bank note reading part 160, pay piler 114 to bank note and return.Depositor takes the bank note of returning in this bank note payment piler 114 away, again implements deposit counting etc. and deposits operation.

Deposit counting end process following different in the situation that action different, comprising: the situation of having determined the amount of money of deposit counting; Depositor forgets that taking the bank note of being returned away also determines the situation of depositing counting and forget to fetch receipts; Depositor has cancelled the situation of deposit counting.The amount of money of having determined deposit counting in the case of depositor, credit transaction is set up, and control part 200 is printed the detail form of credit transaction, and bankbook or card are returned to depositor (step S110).

After this delivery source that, comprises bank note carries the bank note of the additional information of the bank note such as destination to carry object information passed on via intercommunicating line A702 and be stored to upper storage part 206 (with reference to Fig. 2) from the handling part 151 of depositing and withdrawing.After this, with be kept at the banknote image information that the each bank note mail message of identification in storage part 167 be associated and in compress-encrypt portion 168, compress and encrypt, passed on and be stored to upper storage part 206 (step S112) via intercommunicating line C708.

In interim safe-deposit vault 116, the bank note of interim keeping is carried to the Storage Department 170 of its below.Now, identical with the processing of the step S200～S212 shown in above-mentioned Fig. 5, carry out the reading and preserving of banknote image information (step S114) by bank note reading part 160.

After this, by compress-encrypt portion 168, the image information of the bank note reading compressed and encrypted, and transferring to upper storage part 206 (step S116).In addition, if depositor is not also taking out and returning bank note after certain hour, and do not implement to deposit in definite situation, implement to forget to get recycling.

In the situation that having carried out forgetting to fetch receipts, carry out the recovery (step S110) of bankbook or card, by compress-encrypt portion 168, the image information of preserving in identification storage part 167 compressed and encrypted, and transferring to upper storage part 206 (step S112).Bank note pays piler 114 and drives pressing plate, the space that the bank note of paying is paid to piler 114 from bank note moves to bank note puts into the space of bucket 112, detect on one side bank note is delivered to bank note reading part 160 and carries out reading of banknote image information by sensor 155 by bank note on one side via deposit path 152, then carry and deposit to forgetting to fetch receipts storehouse 176.The bank note of interim safe-deposit vault 116 is transported to bank note reading part 160 and carries out reading of banknote image information, and bank note is stored in forgets to fetch receipts storehouses 176 (step S114).After this, by compress-encrypt portion 168, the banknote image information being read compressed and encrypted, and transferring to upper storage part 206 (step S116).

In addition, in the situation that having carried out deposit cancellation, first accept payment mechanism portion 110 by bank note and return the bank note of interim keeping in interim safe-deposit vault 116, and this bank note is delivered to bank note reading part 160 and carries out reading of banknote image information, in the same manner as described above image information compressed and encrypted, and transferring to upper storage part 206 (step S110～S116).

Then the processing sequence while, withdrawing the money transaction with reference to the process flow diagram explanation shown in Fig. 6.

Identical with above-mentioned deposit processing, until card or bankbook are inserted into standby always (step S300).If the person of withdrawing the money inserts card or bankbook, determine the person of withdrawing the money (step S302) based on its reading result.In addition, by the withdraw the money input operation (step S304) of amount of money etc. of the person of withdrawing the money, send bank note according to the information of withdrawing the money being transfused to from safe-deposit vault 173, action (step S200～S212) during with deposit shown in Fig. 5 in the same manner, is carried out read (the step S306) of bank note by bank note reading part 160.If whole bank note is read, implement to print the detail form of the transaction of withdrawing the money, bankbook or card are returned to the person's of withdrawing the money etc. end process (step S308).

After this, by compress-encrypt portion 168, the image information of preserving in identification storage part 167 compressed and encrypted, and transferring to upper storage part 206 (step S310).

Do not take away after certain hour in the case of the person of withdrawing the money the bank note of withdrawing the money, implement to forget to get recycling.First, implement to reclaim the end process (step S308) of bankbook or card.Do not have the removed bank note of withdrawing the money to be transported to bank note reading part 160, after having carried out the reading of banknote image information (step S312), deposit to forgetting to fetch and receive storehouse 176.After this, by compress-encrypt portion 168, the image of the bank note reading compressed and encrypted, and being sent to upper storage part 206 (step S314).

Then, the processing action of the image to storage bank note describes.

Fig. 7 is the deposit path 152 schematically illustrating while counting for bank not deposit, puts into bucket 112 start until the key diagram of the bank note feed status of bank note reading part 160 from bank note.In the time of running, preferably by the scanner section of this bank note reading part 160, the pros and cons of bank note is scanned, but in embodiment, utilize the figure of bank note one side to describe.

Bank note is put into bucket 112 from bank note and is transferred towards bank note reading part 160.In the scanner section 161 of bank note reading part 160, bank note by time and not by time take the image of bank note.This image information photographing is output to banknote image extraction unit 164, after bank note has passed through scanner section 161, extracts from the front end of bank note till rear end is used as banknote image information by banknote image extraction unit 164.

The left side of Fig. 7 shows the image information that reads bank note 511, and the right side of Fig. 7 shows the bank note data 521 of storage.For example, be that deflection (skew) bank note 512 that is transferred of the state that tilts largely, the length from front end to rear end on bank note throughput direction is as being read than above-mentioned bank note data 521 long bank note data 522 at bank note.

In addition, the overlapping conveying bank note 513 that are transferred overlappingly above in the case of 2 of bank note, start till the rear end of last bank note is used as 1 data 523 processes from the front end of bank note formerly.

In the bank note treatment device possessing at cash automated trading device 100, processing in addition bank note becomes the situation of little worn coin bank note 514 because breakage etc. disconnects.This worn coin bank note 514 can not be transferred in carrying road on one side of damaged bank note and stagnates lower in the situation that or occur while being exactly the bank note of damaged bank note situation about being stored into etc. originally.Then, these images carry out reference in the cash management of the inconsistent grade of probe of device inner utilization cash, read as the storage data 524 of banknote image.

But, also have on the other hand can be not processed little paper scrap 515 situation about being transferred.For this situation, as shown in the process flow diagram of Fig. 8, (area of the bank note for example detecting is 200mm to be provided with certain benchmark as the size of bank note that detects medium ²(step S401) above), if the bank note of large area more than benchmark, stores (step S402) as banknote image information, if the bank note of the area less than benchmark, be judged as and be not bank note, do not store banknote image (step S403).This benchmark needs only allow as medium transport than bank note transport path large slight, can apply flexibly in utilizing banknote image information to detect abnormal situation of bank note landline.These image informations, in qualified situation, are output to identification storage part 167 in the judged result of the transport condition of the bank note based on above-mentioned, bank note.

Especially, in the time of data management, in order to form to necessary Min. the storage data relevant with bank note in control part 200, using by the bank note of transaction processing as identifying object, obtain the identifying information of the bank note of this identifying object by obtain the bank note reading part 160 of mechanism as identifying information.According to obtained by this bank note reading part 160 paper money recognition time identification situation, determine about bank note and canned data classification as the bank note judging part 163 of storage information category determination means.In addition, also possesses data management function, by controlling as the control part 200 of storage control gear, so that the information relevant with bank note of the information category that this bank note judging part 163 is determined is stored to upper storage part 206 as identifying object storage information.

While storing banknote image information based on this data management function, in accordance with banknote image storage condition.For example, in the situation that withdrawing the money transaction movement, carrying and identifying information is normally read in the situation that at bank note, is the normal bank note that does not have the problem of not knowing although there is bank note, and client proposes the situation of complaint to the bank note receiving.In order to contrast confirmation in the association of this being withdrawn the money between bank note and client afterwards, control part 200 is stored to the memory capacity using little upper storage part 206 and carries out data management as sequence number image information 161b with regard to the image information of the sequence number part of the bank note that can store.In addition, the image information of sequence number part refers to and comprises the image information of sequence number in a part of region of interior periphery.

To this, abnormal owing to occurring at bank note to need to catch clearly the in the situation that abnormal and identifying information can not reading, therefore control part 200 is stored to upper storage part 206 by the general image of bank note and carries out data management.For example, in banknotes identifying result for bank note reading part 160, be damaged situation, the situation that is obviously judged as counterfeit money in the sequence number part of bank note, detect deliberate scrawl write without basis, the damaged situation of hologram (hologram) etc. detects bank note abnormal, it is very effective that control part 200 is stored to upper storage part 206 for client's complaint of corresponding debt dispute etc. by bank note general image.In addition,, the in the situation that identifying information can not reading in the time reading bank note by bank note reading part 160, be meant to be at least 1 unclear situation in the Currency Type, number, the true and false of this bank note.

Like this, banknote image storage condition is set as when normal only storage sequence part, when abnormal, stores whole.Thus, in the client's complaint for after correspondence transaction, bank note and client are set up when associated, be configured in the situation that being judged as normal bank note and deal with the little data volume of the so necessary irreducible minimum of storage sequence part, in the situation that being judged as abnormal bank note, store the image information of whole of bank note.Therefore, do not need whole data of all bank note storages, in the time being normal bank note, certificate is stored decimally, thereby only need little memory capacity just passable, thereby can realize the correspondingly reduction of the memory data output of amount, in the running of data processing, reduce the heavy burdens, realized high speed and cost degradation.

In addition, carry out the image information category that bank note judging part 163 determines while obtaining, the classification that comprises sequence number image information 161b and general image information 161a as scanner section 161.Thus, in the time obtaining the image being determined by bank note judging part 163, selection is a part or the classification of overall image and only store necessary data, has been realized efficient data management and is formed by such.

One example of these banknote image storage conditions as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.

Fig. 9 represents the relation between conveying condition and the storage mark (flag) of the bank note in bank note transport model by chart.According to this chart, owing to not needing storage, the image information of therefore not storing whole of bank note in the situation that bank note is normally carried.On the other hand, in the case of the conveying beyond being considered to normal conveying, be defined as by each convey unit and obtain corresponding relation and store the image information of whole.At this, convey unit refers to of the bank note of carrying, when normal using 1 bank note as 1 unit, when overlapping conveying using overlapping multiple bank note as 1 unit.

At length say, in the situation that transport model is deposit counting, if carry destination for returning mouthful (returning bank note), store whole image of bank note, be that interim safe-deposit vault (being arm's length transaction) is not stored whole image of bank note if carry destination.

Be deposit in the situation that at transport model, if carry destination for reclaiming storehouse, according to identification result, (Figure 10 reference) determines whether storing whole image of bank note, do not store whole image of bank note if conveying destination is safe-deposit vault (being arm's length transaction).

Be that deposit is returned forget to fetch receipts in the situation that at transport model, carrying destination is to forget to fetch to receive storehouse, whole image of storage bank note.

That deposit is emit in the situation that at transport model, if carry destination for reclaiming storehouse, determine whether to store whole image of bank note according to identification result (with reference to Figure 10), if carry destination for returning mouth, determine whether to store whole image of bank note according to identification result (with reference to Figure 10).

Be to withdraw the money to return forget to fetch receipts in the situation that at transport model, carrying destination is to forget to fetch to receive storehouse, carries out the storage of whole image of bank note.

Thus, the storage of omitting the image information of bank note in the time of normal feed status, the image information of storing bank note only beyond normal conveying time.Now, normal ratio of carrying is many, and the abnormal Frequency of carrying is few, and the number of times of image information of therefore obtaining bank note is few, uses few memory capacity, thus efficient data management can realize transaction and operate time.

Figure 10 represents to read the relation between identification result and the storage mark obtaining after the image of bank note by chart.According to this chart, the in the situation that of there is not unclear point in the time recognizing bank note and read, or in the case of dealer utilize the consistent and dealer's condition of thinking fit of information also consistent, the image information of not storing whole of bank note because there is no place for doubt.On the other hand, exist next being defined as by each identifying information of the situation of unclear part to obtain corresponding relation and store the image information of whole at bank note.

At length say; be that Currency Type is unclear, number is unclear at identification result, counterfeit money detected, sequence number term harmonization, scrawl the in the situation that of writing without basis worn coin term harmonization, the sequence number segmental defects such as hologram is abnormal or to read to such an extent that the size of media area obtains the overlook the provision mode of the image below area of image when above as regulation area; carry out the storage of the image of whole of bank note, situation normal at identification result or dealer's term harmonization is not carried out the storage of the image of whole of bank note.

Thus, the in the situation that of normal bank note, obtain the image information that sequence number part is little, only in the situation that abnormal bank note being detected, obtain the image information of whole of bank note.Now, because the circulation ratio of normal bank note is high, the Frequency of abnormal bank note is extremely low, and the number of times of image information of therefore obtaining whole of bank note is few, only needs few memory capacity, thereby has realized efficient data management when transaction operates.

These preferably can show the formation changing by person in charge's panel by the definition of each identifying information.The running of corresponding bank like this, neatly.

In addition, when data management in the time concluding the business, control part 200 has using the Transaction Information relevant with transaction with at least one party of the Customer Information of determining the client who has carried out this transaction and is stored to the control function of upper storage part 206 as identifying object storage information.Thus, one obtains the contrast correspondence between bank note and client surely, thereby can determine also managed paper currency, client in traceable mode.

The storage information of the bank note as identifying object storage information that control part 200 is stored, at least 1 in the mail message of the image information of the operation information of the client while joining bank note by client, bank note while identifying bank note and the bank note while having carried bank note forms above.

First, the operation information of client when join bank note as client, be configured to the image of obtaining the transaction movement that represents client by ccd video camera etc., for example client's face image or client's hand images, will put into the bucket 112 suspicious bill handling operation store of carrying out to upper storage part 206 to bank note.Thus, can determine and carry out the client of paper money transaction and carry out storage administration reliably according to client's face image etc.

In addition, the image information of the bank note when identifying bank note, as mentioned above, can correctly capture bank note self image information feature and be stored to upper storage part 206 and manage.Thus, correctly the bank note of storage administration sequence number part damages, and the feature of the various worn coins of correctly storage administration, pseudo-bank note, can carry out the tracking of bank note.

In addition, for the mail message of carrying bank note when bank note, as mentioned above, can correctly capture bank note feed status image information feature and be stored to upper storage part 206 and manage.Thus, the (of the output in succession Even れ of bank note goes out), overlap condition or reclaim storehouse etc. and deposit destination and become clearly, can correctly store the existence of bank note, can improve the tracking performance of bank note.

The storage content of the bank note attached data while then, incidental bank note data being saved to identification storage part 167 with reference to Figure 11 explanation.

Bank note attached data portion is configured to and comprises: the ID of the bank note being updated in the time of bank note process bank note reading part 160; The Currency Type of the bank note identifying; The posture direction of the bank note identifying; The true and false judged result of bank note; The bank note numbering reading by the sequence number printing on bank note being carried out to character recognition; Delivery source ID described later and conveying described later destination ID while carrying bank note; Carrying out in bank note data portion transaction the cash automated trading device 100 such as ATM ID, transaction date and moment, deposit or the transaction such as type of transaction, client's coding of accounts, client's name or the transaction number Customer Information of withdrawing the money etc., the data selection information that represents the kind of the data of storage banknote image.These, be utilized as the customizing messages of the storage information for retrieving bank note.

Bank note general image information is appended according to the image information of the size of data of stored bank note, sequence number part and above-mentioned preservation condition by image information portion.

In the situation that being safe-deposit vault 173, above-mentioned delivery source ID is the intrinsic ID numbering of safe-deposit vault being stored in the storer of this safe-deposit vault 173, or bank note is put into bucket 112, a piler 116 any.

In addition, carry that destination ID is that bank note pays piler 114 or interim safe-deposit vault 116, deposits and withdraws bucket, the safe-deposit vault 173 deposited, reclaim storehouse 172, forget to fetch any in receipts storehouse 176.

In addition, the downside of Figure 11 shows an example of the form that is stored in the storage data in identification storage part 167.In the form of these storage data, corresponding to whole bank note each, possess respectively the storage part of bank note attached data portion and the storage part of image information portion, the recognition result data of having stored every bank note in these storage parts.

These storage data make the attached data portion of bank note that Figure 11 records and each data of image information portion set up association to store, carry out in the back bank note follow the trail of with and client can contrast confirmation while following the trail of.

Then, utilize Figure 12 to illustrate that scanner section 161 has read the relation between banknote image information and the bank note delivery section 150 obtaining after bank note.

The delivery interval of the bank note of carrying continuously along this throughput direction in bank note delivery section 150 is set as than the length of the movement of the bank note being transferred in during the required time of the switching of switching gate 156, and bank note displacement LENG when gate switches is long.

For the bank note 516 of the little feed status of the deflection shown in the left upper portion of Figure 12, the bank note being transferred and the throughput direction interval of bank note become the short bank note interval LEN1 of bank note displacement LENG while switching than gate.In this situation, owing to can not guaranteeing to switch the time that gate 156 moves, the fixing gate 156 that switches of bank note delivery section 150, treats these 2 bank note as 1 piece.Now, read extracted extraction data as banknote image information 526.

In the case of and the bank note that continues to carry between throughput direction interval LEN2 larger than above-mentioned LENG, by bank note data separately.In the case of the bank note 517 of the large feed status of deflection, also 2 bank note are treated as 1 piece.About banknote image now, overlapping owing to not having, therefore also can separate by banknote image information 527A, 527B.In the time that this banknote image is separated into 2 not with switch associated between gate 156, therefore identify bank note interval as LEN3 not need to perpendicular to throughput direction measure, as long as bank note does not have overlapping just passable.

In the case of carrying out in this wise the separation of banknote image, the bank note data of the such transport condition of the bank note 517 of the feed status that deflection is large, as shown in the bank note 2 of Figure 13, store 2 banknote image information 527A, 527B in 1 bank note attached data.Now, if bank note reading part 160 can carry out Currency Type differentiation for each bank note, also can adopt to the mode for each bank note storage Currency Type in bank note attached data portion.

Then,, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 14, the relation between identification storage part 167 and bank note transport condition is described.

Cost is high owing to paying attention to high-speed response for identification storage part 167, is different from upper storage part 206 ground and is installed in bank note reading part 160.

In addition, identification storage part 167 is the mechanisms that temporarily store banknote image information, and the bank note data of storing are compressed and encrypted by compress-encrypt portion 168 after bank note has been carried, and export upper storage part 206 to.

In common transaction, substantially there is no the generation of abnormal bank note, bank note read normal termination.Therefore, need the probability of banknote image information of whole of bank note low.Its result, puts into bucket 112 numbers of allowing as long as the capacity of identification storage part 167 can be preserved than bank note, and for example 200 little image informations of 20 are just enough.

But under severe condition, also having need to be for whole 200 situation that obtain banknote image.The amount of 200 of becoming the capacity that makes to identify storage part 167 for this severe condition can cause the deterioration of efficiency of goods cost.Therefore, the result of carrying as bank note, store bank note data to identification in storage part 167, if the residual capacity of identification storage part 167 tails off (step S501), the sending of bank note (step S502) that bank note delivery section 150 is interim interrupts bank note and put into bucket 112.In have no progeny several and can pass through bank note reading part 160, need to guarantee the memory capacity of the amount of this regulation number.

In this embodiment, 3 have been made as a benchmark example of the amount of afore mentioned rules number.Bank note all through and read bank note data after, bank note reading part 160 is compressed and encrypts the bank note data of identification storage part 167 by compress-encrypt portion 168, and send to upper storage part 206, empty identification storage part 167 (step S503).After this, restart bank note and put into sending of bucket 112 lasting bank note conveying action (step S504).

By such image information acquisition mode, can tackle with minimum bank note storage part 167, can realize the goods that cost-effectiveness is high.The situation of especially carrying out in large quantities bank note conveying for bank note probe etc. in device is effective.

These data obtain by bank note reading part 160 and bank note delivery section 150 in each paper money transaction, and export and accumulate to the upper storage part 206 of control part 200.

In this control part 200, possess according at least 1 specific customizing messages being associated with the storage information of the bank note of storing in upper storage part 206 and retrieve the search function of the storage information of the bank note associated with this customizing messages, and make to utilize the storage information of the bank note that this search function retrieves to be presented at as the Presentation Function on the demonstration operating portion 120 of indication mechanism.

Thus, according to the customizing messages of 1 restriction, for example, comprise at least one party in the numbering of safe-deposit vault of this bank note of the sequence number that prints on bank note and keeping, retrieval definite bank note and client.As safe-deposit vault, be reclaim storehouse 172, safe-deposit vault 173, forget to fetch receive storehouse 176.

In addition, the image of the client's that control part 200 is concluded the business expression transaction movement, for example take the image of video camera 115 and the storage information of bank note of face image and hand images etc. and set up associated storage, also possess associated the storage information foundation of this image and the bank note retrieving by search function, showing the Presentation Function that shows the image of the expression client's who is photographed by video camera 115 transaction movement on operating portion 120.

Thus, represent dealer's the image of transaction movement, such as face image and hand images etc. are shown, can carry out the client person's that whether is paper money transaction confirmation, can confirm the situation that does not have suspicious action simultaneously.In addition, if store bank note general image, can provide the information that conviction property is higher to client.

Then, utilize Figure 15～Figure 20 in the transaction of cash automated trading device 100 or transaction just completed after correspondence situation about requiring from client's complaint describe.

Each picture shown in above-mentioned Figure 15～Figure 20 is displayed on the display that shows operating portion 120, Data Analysis machine PC, as following, is utilized.

For example, complain that in the case of receiving from paper money transaction person the bank note of withdrawing the money from cash automated trading device 100 is counterfeit money, use the bank note information of storing in cash automated trading device 100, confirm that this bank note is really to take out from cash automated trading device 100, or client utilizes false complaint and brings from outside.

In addition, according to former running, confirm whether accept by cash automated trading device 100 counterfeit money bringing.Cash automated trading device 100 in the time sending bank note by the withdraw the money qualification of bank note of bank note reading part 160, after being genuine notes, confirmation bank note just sends bank note, even in the situation that hypothesis is equipped with counterfeit money in safe-deposit vault 173, this counterfeit money also can be recovered to and reclaim in storehouse 172 and can not send bank note.Therefore, when client complains, the bank note bringing by the excluded situation of cash automated trading device 100 under, can judge and not be the bank note that takes out from cash automated trading device 100.But the situation that sometimes exists client not convince, therefore needs to represent that bank note is same bank note.

According to this embodiment, the result of concluding the business as client, if the moment that the detailed book of issuing from cash automated trading device 100 is printed or transaction No input are shown in the input picture that shows the Figure 15 on operating portion 120, surround as shown in part as heavy line in Figure 16 according to the Transaction Information corresponding with transaction result for retrieval of the each information before and after this transaction, can in demonstration operating portion 120, determine and show.The face's camera review, dealer's hand camera review and the data of bank note information that in this result for retrieval, have shown dealer have or not.

If select corresponding terms of trade and press decision button, as shown in figure 17, switch the video camera image of this transaction of can regenerating to camera review display frame.Whether person in charge determines the client person that whether is paper money transaction at this, simultaneously also can to not having suspicious action to confirm.

In addition, if press bank note record button, be presented at the sequence number of the bank note that in this paper money transaction, client withdraws the money, by contrasting with the bank note bringing, can illustrate it is the situation of identical bank note to client.In addition, if storage bank note general image can provide the information that conviction property is higher to client.

Then, illustrate and treat the processing action of forgetting to get bank note.In the case of count the bank note of returning by bank not deposit or passed through certain hour withdraw the money bank note do not have removed, carry out and forget to get recycling.Do not carry out for these bank note the processing that account is deposited and withdrawn, because dealer is the owner, can return in the future dealer.

In addition,, no matter the true and false judged result of this bank note bank note reading part how in forgetting to fetch receipts, bank note is stored in to forget to fetch receives storehouse.This bank note needs material object to return dealer in principle, preferably obtains the detailed record of bank note general image as bank note information.In the searching picture of Figure 19, if input forgets to fetch the ID that receives storehouse, show as shown in figure 18 and forget to fetch the guide look of receiving transaction.And if then select specific transaction to show the searching picture of Figure 20, show each paper money transaction information.The sequence number of the bank note while confirming each transaction, by the bank note in box by each dealer separately.

In addition, comprise situation former because of certain thereby that could not enough read sequence number interior, use bank note general image to confirm Currency Type, number.By like this, can return reliably in dealer's hand forgetting to fetch the bank note of receiving storehouse 176.In addition, if Currency Type, the amount of money determine, also can adopt and not carry out material object and return but return the equal running of returning the amount of money.In this situation, definite information of Figure 18 is effective.

In addition, the situation of forgetting to get in China is many, receives storehouse 176 fill with in the situation that forgetting to fetch, and stop device not sometimes, after this utilizes and reclaim the recovery that bank note is implemented to forget to get in storehouse 172, continues the running of device.Therefore, this running is also applicable to find out the situation of forgetting to fetch collection coin from reclaiming storehouse 172.

Then, show the above-mentioned image of retrieval and obtain data, and follow the trail of an example of the method for bank note based on this result for retrieval.

For example, recovery storehouse 172 is transported to the bank note arrangement portion at center 1, in this recovery storehouse 172, find in the situation (Fig. 1) of counterfeit money NC, in the time that this counterfeit money finds that moment is followed the trail of bank note, followed the trail of picture (Figure 19) and determine the depositor of this bank note by bank note.The definite person in charge who carries out depositor uses the Data Analysis machine PC being connected with the principal computer HC at center 1, during input searching object and the ID in the sequence number of the counterfeit money of Currency Type, discovery and the recovery storehouse 172 found.Damaged or stained and can not reading, also can read in and retrieve according to the similar degree of banknote image by scanner etc. in the sequence number part of counterfeit money NC.

If retrieval starts, send paper money transaction information from the cash automated trading device 100 of ID that this recovery storehouse 172 has been installed to principal computer HC.Paper money transaction information can be also to reclaiming storehouse 172 while reclaiming, or the running sending to principal computer HC after the service ending of a day.If paper money transaction information is sent to principal computer HC in advance, can before retrieval, complete the transmission of the paper money transaction information before retrieval.If carry out retrieval, show bank note Transaction Information according to bank note information according to the high order of consistent degree.

For example,, if the sequence number printing in bank note unanimously first demonstration totally then shows the paper money transaction information that the sequence number different from 1 is associated successively.Thus, though in the time of sequence number character recognition mistakenly identification sequence number in the situation that, also can show the information corresponding with result for retrieval.

Also there is the situation of having deposited stored bank note in credit transaction transaction in addition in this recovery storehouse 172.For example, have and send from safe-deposit vault withdrawing the money in preparing, but because paper money recognition not exclusively leaves the situation of recovery in storehouse in.For the source of clear and definite these bank note, the delivery source while being transferred with this bank note and conveying destination information come together to show.

In addition, if the bank note that depositor puts into, delivery source is shown as and represents that bank note puts into bucket 112 information.Be safe-deposit vault 173 if deserve the delivery source of bank note, can judge is to have sneaked into counterfeit money in the bank note that packs into of person in charge.

As the result that the sequence number of the bank note of finding is retrieved, if the sequence number of the Transaction Information showing is consistent, can be confirmed to be the Transaction Information of the bank note of discovery.

In the case of selecting 1 in result for retrieval and storing banknote image, can show the banknote image of these bank note data.Person in charge utilizes the information of banknote image beyond can control sequence number, the fold of for example bank note, stained degree.Show that " entirety " key of operating portion demonstrates whole of bank note if press, if press " amplification " key specific part be exaggerated.In addition,, if press " positive and negative " key, can switch the demonstration at surface and the back side of banknote image.In addition can show, the expression client's that shot by camera arrives the image of transaction movement the appearance of client while confirming transaction.

Confirm by such retrieval with to the demonstration of result for retrieval, person in charge can know that counterfeit money is which transaction of cash automated trading device is taken into.In addition, contrast and just can determine convict with the information of principal computer according to date temporal information.

As discussed above, in the situation that bank note is is normally accepted, do not obtain owing to not needing whole image information of bank note, produce in the case of stained, damaged etc. the abnormal bank note that bank note detected or in the time that recovery is forgotten to get bank note etc. and carried in situation about changing etc., obtained whole image information of bank note.Therefore, store the general image information 161a of bank note at abnormal bank note or while extremely carrying.Especially, the frequency that the generation of abnormal bank note or conveying change produce in the time that depositing and withdrawing of bank note concluded the business is little, is all normal bank note and normally conveying substantially.

Thus, owing to obtaining, the number of times of general image information 161a of bank note is few, therefore only needs few memory capacity, the operating cost can suppress transaction and operate time, and can realize efficient running.In addition, be accompanied by the minimizing of storage data volume, can promote high-speed response when client confirms with contrasting of bank note, can shorten thus the time that client is waited for, improve the service to client.The minimizing that in addition, can be accompanied by storage data volume realizes cost degradation simultaneously.

In addition, when data management in the time concluding the business, control part 200 has to be determined and stores the control function that is used as identifying object storage information with the relevant Transaction Information of transaction and the client that carried out this transaction, a corresponding relation of obtaining surely bank note and client thus, can be with traceable mode managed paper currency and client.

In addition, in the time of transaction bank note, even if having produced client thinks suspicious and the discontented client of person in charge is complained, owing to can showing the image of the image information of handled bank note and client's transaction movement, such as face image and hand images etc., thereby can confirm reliably, when causing the discontented of debt dispute and so on client because misunderstanding waits or maliciously inquiring, clear and definite image information becomes evidence data, therefore can show reliably and confirm and client is convinced, can solve at once debt dispute.Particularly, the in the situation that of devious conduct, obtained image information becomes the important evidence data of determining me, thereby produces effect very much.

In addition, can retain and can carry out definite image for all bank note.,, by retaining the image of bank note entirety or the image of reservation queue part, can utilize image to determine and the bank note of processing is described for user.In addition, in the case of certain Media Ratio regulation of being transferred large slight, be judged as the unaccommodated medium of foreign matter etc., can not treat as the bank note of above-mentioned identifying object, therefore can in searching object, not sneak into the unwanted data of rubbish etc.

Above, embodiments of the invention are illustrated, the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned embodiment, in the scope that does not depart from this main idea, can implement in several ways.

For example, the image of obtaining the transaction movement that represents client has been shown in the above embodiments, such as face image and hand images etc. also obtain the example of dealer's storage information, but are not limited to this, also can be configured to and obtain and store the information such as client's fingerprint, vocal print, iris.

[utilizability in industry]

The device of all automated transaction such as ATM, changer, ticket machine that can be applicable to process bank note.
