The banknote processing device and the banknote processing method in the same sorting state as before the failure occurred.

Background technique

When using a banknote processing device with multiple accumulators for deposit processing, the banknotes are sorted according to the state of contamination, so that unsuitable bills suitable for reuse and damaged bills not suitable for reuse are sorted and accumulated in different accumulators. Continuously process a plurality of deposit transactions, and in the case of a failure such as congestion during the processing of the second transaction part, banknotes of the confirmed first transaction part and undetermined banknotes in the process of processing are mixed in each accumulation part. Banknotes in the secondary transaction section.

Patent Document 1 discloses a banknote processing apparatus that reproduces a specified number of sheets related to a specified transaction portion in a failure recovery process. The banknote processing device of Patent Document 1 performs banknote denomination identification and soundness determination, accumulates banknotes according to different denominations and damages to a plurality of stacking units, and stores the determined number of sheets in each stacking unit in a storage unit. When a failure occurs during deposit processing, the operator reloads all the banknotes accumulated in each stacking unit in the Hopper while maintaining the stacked order. In addition, denomination identification and damage judgment of the banknotes reloaded in the coin hopper are performed, and the banknotes are accumulated in the original stacking unit according to different denominations and damages. At this time, when the number of accumulated sheets of one of the plurality of accumulators has reached the definite number of the accumulator stored in the storage unit, the currency denomination assigned to the accumulator that has reached the definite number Banknotes are accumulated in other accumulation units to which the denomination is assigned regardless of the judgment of loss or loss.

In this way, in the past, a certain number of sheets is stored for each accumulation unit that accumulates banknotes according to different damages. If the stored definite number of sheets is exceeded, the remaining banknotes will be accumulated in the accumulating section of defective notes (or complete notes) irrespective of the judgment result.

However, depending on the conditions when the banknotes are read by the identification sensor, there may be errors in the read stained state, so for banknotes that are difficult to recognize as defective or damaged, there may be errors before the failure occurs and during the recovery process. different judgment results. Therefore, there is a problem in the above-mentioned conventional banknote processing apparatus, that is, in the fault recovery process, when the accumulated number of sheets of the stacking part of the defective bills reaches the stored definite number of sheets, the obviously defective bills are accumulated. To the accumulating section of damaged coupons, or when the accumulated number of sheets in the accumulating section of damaged coupons reaches the determined number of stored coupons, obvious damaged coupons are accumulated to the accumulating section of unfinished coupons.

In addition, when sorting and stacking are performed for different denominations and a plurality of stacking units are assigned to one denomination, the stacking units of two banknotes of the same denomination may be swapped before failure occurs and during failure recovery processing.

detailed description

Hereinafter, it demonstrates based on embodiment of this invention.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a banknote handling device 100 according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the banknote handling device 100 . In addition, FIG. 3 is a block configuration diagram of the banknote handling apparatus 100 . As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the banknote processing apparatus 100 includes a receiving unit 101 that takes out banknotes put in by an operator in a stacked state one by one, and a delivery unit 114 that transports the banknotes taken by the receiving unit 101 . The recognition part 113 which recognizes the banknote conveyed by the said conveyance part 114 in the conveyance part 114.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the conveyance state detection sensor 121,122 for detecting the conveyance state of the banknote acquired by the accepting part 101 is provided between the accepting part 101 and the identification part 113.

The identification part 113 has the image reading sensor 123 which reads the image of the banknote conveyed by the conveyance part 114. As shown in FIG. Based on the image data read by the image reading sensor 123 , the recognition unit 113 recognizes the circulation currency, currency type, direction, soundness, newness, authenticity, etc. of the banknote, and acquires banknote information. There are 4 directions of forward, forward, backward, reverse forward and reverse backward. Specifically, in the case of transporting banknotes in a direction parallel to the short sides of the banknotes, the portrait faces upward and the direction taken from the head of the portrait is the front, and the portrait faces upward and from the opposite side of the head. The direction from which one side is captured is the front, the direction from which the portrait is facing down and from the head of the portrait is the reverse front, and the direction from which the portrait is facing down and from the side opposite to the head is the reverse back.

Moreover, the acquisition part 112 which acquires the banknote number of a banknote based on the image data read by the image reading sensor 123 is provided. The acquisition unit 112 may be a part of the identification unit 113 or may be provided separately from the identification unit 113 .

Moreover, the rejecting part 102a, 102b which accumulate|stacks the banknote judged not to accumulate in any one of the stacking parts 106a-106d is connected to the downstream side of the identification part 113. For example, banknotes judged to be abnormal in recognition or abnormal in transport are accumulated in the reject unit 102a. Moreover, the banknote judged to be counterfeit by the authenticity determination of the identification part 113 is accumulated in the rejection part 102b.

Here, the transport abnormality refers to an abnormality when the banknotes are transported by the transport unit 114 . As such transport abnormalities, for example, the case where the banknotes are transported obliquely (oblique), the case where a plurality of banknotes are transported on top of each other (multi-feed), the case where a plurality of banknotes are transported without a predetermined interval (chain transfer), etc. )Wait.

The sensors 124a, 124b detect whether or not the banknotes are normally guided to the rejection units 102a, 102b.

The stacking parts 106a-106d which accumulate the banknote conveyed by the conveyance part 114 are connected to the downstream side of the identification part 113, and the edge part of the conveyance part 114. The stacking units 106a to 106d sort and stack the banknotes acquired by the accepting unit 101 based on the banknote information (circulation currency, denomination, direction, soundness, old and new, etc.) of the banknotes.

The sensor 125 detects whether the banknote which was not guided to the rejection part 102a, 102b is normally guided to stacking parts 106a-106d. The sensors 126a to 126d detect whether or not the banknotes are normally guided to the stacking units 106a to 106d. Moreover, the sensors 127a-127c detect whether a banknote is conveyed normally.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the banknote processing apparatus 100 is provided with the operation part 103 which has the input key for accepting the instruction|indication from an operator, and the display part 104 which displays various information. Moreover, in the banknote processing apparatus 100, the individual display part 107a-107d for displaying the kind and the number of sheets of the banknote stacked by stacking part 106a-106d is provided. The individual display parts 107a-107d display the kind or the number of banknotes stacked in the stacking parts 106a-106d. The types of banknotes are, for example, currency in circulation, currency type, orientation, damage, old and new. The display unit 104 and the individual display units 107a to 107d are, for example, displays such as LCDs.

As shown in FIG. 3, the banknote processing apparatus 100 has the control part 111 which controls each part, and the storage part 118. As shown in FIG.

The control unit 111 controls each unit based on a control program stored in the storage unit 118 . The control unit 111 is a processor such as a CPU. In addition, the storage unit 118 has one or more storage media such as ROM, RAM, hard disk drive, and flash memory.

Moreover, the banknote processing apparatus 100 is equipped with the failure detection part 116 for detecting the occurrence of the failure related to the conveyance of a banknote. For example, the failure detection unit 116 detects the occurrence of a failure such as clogging based on the detection results of the sensors 121 , 122 , 125 , and 127 a to 127 c.

The control part 111 can switch and execute two modes of a normal mode and a banknote number mode. The normal mode is a mode executed during normal banknote processing, and the banknote number mode is a mode for classifying banknotes based on previously associated banknote numbers and classification information. For example, after a failure is detected by the failure detection unit 116 The pattern to execute when restoring processing.

In the normal mode, the control part 111 determines which of the stacking parts 106a-106d to convey a banknote based on the banknote information acquired by the recognition part 113, and controls the conveyance part 114. FIG. Moreover, the control part 111 associates classification information with the banknote number of the said banknote acquired by the acquisition part 112, and stores it in the storage part 118. Here, the classification information is information on the classification of the banknotes, for example, the shipping destination of the banknotes. For example, 10,000 yen banknotes are distributed in the accumulation unit 106a, 1000 yen banknotes are distributed in the accumulation unit 106b, 5000 yen banknotes are distributed in the accumulation unit 106c, and the banknotes acquired by the receiving unit 101 are 5000 yen. When the banknote is a Japanese yen banknote, and the banknote number of the banknote is FM766471L, the control unit 111 associates the banknote number FM766471L with the stacking unit 106c and stores it in the storage unit 118 .

The control part 111 displays the kind of the banknote allocated to the stacking parts 106a-106d, and the number of stacked sheets of the stacking parts 106a-106d on the individual display parts 107a-107d. In addition, if the processing of the banknotes for one transaction is completed, the control unit 111 displays the counting result of the banknotes on the display unit 104, and if a confirmation instruction is accepted from the user via the operation unit 103, the counting result of the banknotes for one transaction is determined, and The determined count result is stored in the storage unit 118 .

Next, failure recovery processing will be described as an example of processing for executing the banknote number pattern. The control part 111 will stop the operation|movement of the banknote processing apparatus 100, if the occurrence of a failure is detected by the failure detection part 116. FIG. After the operation of the banknote handling apparatus 100 is stopped, the user takes out the banknotes in the stacking units 106 a to 106 d and inserts them into the accepting unit 101 again. The control unit 111 executes the banknote number mode, and starts acquiring the banknotes re-introduced into the accepting unit 101 .

Also in the banknote number mode, the acquisition unit 112 acquires the banknote number of the acquired banknote, but acquisition of the banknote information by the recognition unit 113 is not essential. The control unit 111 searches the storage unit 118 using the banknote number acquired by the acquisition unit 112 . When the banknote number same as the banknote number acquired by the acquisition part 112 is memorize|stored in the storage part 118, the control part 111 extracts the sorting information (transportation destination of a banknote) associated with this banknote number. The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of the banknote picked up from the memory|storage part 118 as the conveyance destination of the acquired banknote, and controls the conveyance part 114. Thereby, the banknote re-introduced into the acceptance part 101 is conveyed to the accumulation|stacking part which was accumulated before failure occurrence.

Next, the banknote processing method of this embodiment is demonstrated using the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, FIG. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to banknote processing in the normal mode, and the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 corresponds to banknote processing in the banknote number mode after occurrence of a failure is detected.

First, the banknote processing method in normal mode is demonstrated using the flowchart shown in FIG.

(Step S101 ) The banknotes for one transaction are inserted into the acceptance unit 101 .

(Step S102) The acceptance unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.

(Step S103) The identification part 113 acquires the banknote information (circulation currency, currency type, direction, soundness, old and new, authenticity) of the acquired banknote. Moreover, the acquisition part 112 acquires the banknote number of the acquired banknote.

(Step S104) The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of a banknote based on the banknote information acquired in step S103. The types of stacked banknotes are assigned in advance to the stacking units 106a to 106d. Banknotes or counterfeit bills of the type not assigned to the accumulation units 106a to 106d are conveyed to the rejection units 102a and 102b.

(Step S105) The banknotes are sorted and stacked in stacking units 106a to 106d or rejecting units 102a and 102b.

(Step S106) The control part 111 associates the banknote number acquired in step S103 with the delivery destination of the said banknote, and stores it in the memory|storage part 118.

(Step S107) When all the banknotes inserted into the acceptance part 101 have been acquired, it progresses to step S108, and when the banknote remains in the acceptance part 101, it returns to step S102.

(Step S108 ) The counting result is displayed on the display unit 104 , and the user inputs a confirmation instruction via the operation unit 103 .

(Step S109) Return to Step S101 when there is a banknote of the next transaction portion.

In this way, in the normal mode, the banknotes are sorted and accumulated according to the type, and the banknote numbers and the shipping destinations of the banknotes are associated and stored in the storage unit 118 .

Next, the banknote processing method in the banknote number mode in the case of failure recovery processing is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG. 5. FIG.

(Step S201 ) If a failure is detected by the failure detection unit 116 , the control unit 111 executes the banknote number mode, and stops acquiring banknotes by the accepting unit 101 and transporting banknotes by the transport unit 114 .

The user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the accumulation units 106a to 106d. In addition, banknotes in transit by the conveyance unit 114 (banknotes on the conveyance path) are also taken out. Furthermore, the banknote accumulated in the rejection part 102a, 102b can also be taken out.

(Step S202 ) The banknotes taken out in Step S201 are put into the receiving unit 101 again. The banknotes taken out from the transport path are re-introduced into the receiving unit 101 after the banknotes taken out from the stacking units 106a to 106d.

(Step S203) The accepting unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.

(Step S204) The acquisition part 112 acquires the banknote number of the acquired banknote. In addition, when taking out the banknotes accumulated in the rejecting units 102a and 102b and re-injecting them into the accepting unit 101, the recognition unit 113 may acquire the banknote information (circulation currency, currency type, direction, soundness, old and new, true and false).

(Step S205) The control part 111 searches the storage part 118 using the banknote number acquired in step S204.

(Step S206) When the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S204 is memorize|stored in the storage part 118, it progresses to step S207, and when it is not stored, it progresses to step S208. Here, the banknote whose banknote number identical to the banknote number acquired by step S204 is not memorize|stored in the memory|storage part 118 is a banknote taken out from reject part 102a, 102b by step S201. This is because the banknotes stacked in the reject units 102a and 102b include the banknotes whose banknote numbers or banknote information were not normally acquired due to transport abnormality or recognition abnormality.

(Step S207 ) The control unit 111 extracts, from the storage unit 118 , the classification information (delivery destination of the banknote) associated with the banknote number identical to the banknote number acquired in Step S204 . The control unit 111 determines the transport destination of the extracted banknotes as the transport destination of the acquired banknotes.

(Step S208) The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of a banknote based on the banknote information acquired in step S204. The types of accumulated banknotes allocated to the stacking units 106a to 106d are the same as those in the normal mode.

(Step S209 ) The control unit 111 associates the banknote number acquired in step S204 with the delivery destination of the banknote, and stores it in the storage unit 118 .

In addition, about the banknote whose banknote number identical to the banknote number acquired in step S204 is not stored in the memory|storage part 118, instead of step S208 and step S209, you may sort and accumulate all to reject part 102a, 102b.

(Step S210) The banknotes are sorted and accumulated in stacking units 106a to 106d or rejecting units 102a and 102b.

(Step S211 ) Return to the normal mode when all the banknotes re-injected into the acceptance unit 101 are acquired, and return to step S203 when there are banknotes left in the acceptance unit 101 .

Thereby, the banknote re-injected into the acceptance part 101 is conveyed to the accumulation|stacking part 106a-106d accumulated before failure occurrence.

In this embodiment, the banknote number and the delivery destination are associated and stored, and the delivery destination of the banknote reloaded at the time of failure recovery processing is set as the delivery destination associated with the banknote number of the banknote. Therefore, for example, even for banknotes that are difficult to recognize as bad or damaged and may have different judgment results before the failure occurs and when the failure is restored, the delivery destination is determined according to the banknote number, so that it is possible to accumulate the banknotes related to the failure. The same accumulation department as before occurred. In addition, even if accumulation is classified into different currencies and a plurality of accumulation units are assigned to one currency, it is possible to accumulate to the same accumulation unit before failure occurs and after failure recovery processing.

In this way, according to this embodiment, each banknote can be accumulated in the same stacking unit in the normal mode and the banknote number mode. After reproducing the same classification state.

In the above-described embodiment, it is preferable that the banknotes taken out from the stacking units 106 a to 106 d are re-introduced into the accepting unit 101 while maintaining the stacking order at the time of the failure recovery process. Thereby, it is possible to reproduce the order of accumulation in the accumulation units 106a to 106d before the failure occurs and after the failure restoration process.

In the above-described embodiment, the classification information associated with the banknote number was set as the destination of the banknote, but it may be the banknote information acquired by the recognition unit 113 . In this case, the control part 111 extracts the banknote information associated with the banknote number of the acquired banknote from the memory|storage part 118 in a banknote number mode, and determines the delivery destination of a banknote based on this banknote information. Since the destination of the banknote is determined based on the same banknote information as that used for determining the destination of the banknote in the normal mode, the banknotes can be accumulated in the same stacking unit in the normal mode and the banknote number mode.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the banknote number and the classification information associated with it may be stored in the memory|storage part 118 about the banknote of the transaction part whose counting result was confirmed. For example, the banknote number and classification information are stored in a primary storage device such as a cache or a main memory before determining the counting result of banknotes for a primary transaction, and are stored in a secondary storage device such as an HDD or flash memory after determination. When a failure is detected, the banknote number and classification information of the transactions in the primary storage device are erased, and the information stored in the secondary storage device is taken out and written into the primary storage device. Thereby, it is possible to reproduce the same sorting state as that before the failure occurred about the banknotes of the transaction portion whose counting result was confirmed.

In this embodiment, when the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S204 is not stored in the storage unit 118, the control unit 111 determines the delivery destination of the banknote based on the banknote information acquired in step S204, However, the banknote whose banknote number is not stored in the storage part 118 can also be conveyed to the rejection part 102a, 102b.

Moreover, you may provide the notification part which notifies the stacking part which accumulates the banknote of the transaction part whose count result has not been confirmed (in process) when the failure detection part 116 detects a failure occurrence. It is not necessary to take out/reinject the banknotes in the stacking unit that does not accumulate the banknotes of the undetermined transaction portion. Therefore, what is necessary is just to take out a banknote from the notified accumulation|stacking part, and to put in again, and can perform recovery processing rapidly. Individual display units 107a to 107d may also function as notification units.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic configuration of a banknote handling device 400 according to a modified example. The banknote handling device 400 includes a receiving unit 401, a transport unit 402, a recognition unit 403a, an acquisition unit 403b, a reversing mechanism 404, rejection units 405a, 405b, and 405c, external stackers (stackers) 406a to 406f, and accumulation units 407a to 407a. 407c, the bundle conveyance part 408, the fraction banknote return part 409, the banknote binding part 410, the binding banknote storage part 411, and the control part 420. Moreover, the banknote handling apparatus 400 is equipped with the operation display part which is not shown in figure.

The accepting unit 401 takes in the banknotes set by the user one by one into the housing of the banknote handling apparatus 400 .

The conveyance part 402 is provided in the inside of the housing|casing of the banknote processing apparatus 400, and conveys the banknote acquired by the acceptance part 401. As shown in FIG. The transport unit 402 transports banknotes according to the control unit 420 .

The transport unit 402 is constituted by, for example, a combination of belt transport mechanisms. The conveyor belt conveying mechanism is composed of a pair or more than three rollers and a rubber conveyor belt stretched and stretched by each roller.

The recognition unit 403a intervenes in the transport unit 402, and discriminates the circulation currency, currency type, authenticity, soundness, direction, newness, etc. of the banknotes transported by the transport unit 402, and acquires banknote information. The acquisition part 403b acquires the banknote number of the banknote conveyed by the conveyance part 402.

The conveyance part 402 branches ahead of the recognition part 403a, and rejects banknotes are conveyed and accumulated to the reject part 405a, 405b based on the recognition result of the recognition part 403a. The rejected banknotes are conveyed to the rejecting sections 405a and 405b according to different reasons for rejecting.

On the other hand, in the reversing mechanism 404, the banknotes which are not rejected banknotes are reversed so that the fronts and backs of all the banknotes match according to the front and back determination results of the recognition part 403a. Among the banknotes whose front and back are reversed so that the front and back match, the banknotes that are not binding objects are accumulated in one of the external stackers 406a to 406f based on the banknote information determined by the recognition unit 403a. The types of banknotes to be bundled or stacked banknotes distributed to the external stackers 406a to 406f are set in advance.

Banknotes to be bundled are conveyed to one of the stacking units 407a to 407c. A sensor (not shown) for detecting the number of banknotes conveyed is provided in each of the banknote receiving ports of the stacking parts 407a to 407c, and the sensor outputs the number of banknotes stacked in the stacking parts 407a to 407c. to the control unit 420 . When the accumulated number of sheets in the stacking units 407 a to 407 c reaches a predetermined number, the bundle transport unit 408 takes out the bundle of banknotes stacked in the stacking unit, and transports it to the banknote bundling unit 410 .

One of the accumulation parts 407a-407c is set so that a banknote will not be conveyed, that is, it will become empty. When the bundle transport unit 408 is taking out a bundle of banknotes from the stacking unit, the stacking unit cannot accept the banknotes, and thus is transported to an empty stacking unit for stacking.

The bundle of banknotes conveyed to the banknote binding unit 410 is subjected to a banding process and stored in the bundled banknote storage unit 411 .

Moreover, the bundle conveyance part 408 can convey the fraction banknote in the stacking part 407a-407c to the fraction banknote returning part 409. The fraction bill returning unit 409 is, for example, an open pocket.

Similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, in the normal mode, the control unit 420 associates the banknote number with the classification information of the banknote (the shipping destination of the banknote or the banknote information) and stores them in a storage unit (not shown).

When a failure detection unit (not shown) detects that a failure has occurred, the control unit 420 stops acquisition of banknotes by the acceptance unit 401 and transport of banknotes by the transport unit 402 . Then, the user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the external stackers 406 a to 406 f and the banknotes on the conveyance path, and inserts them into the receiving unit 401 again. Moreover, the banknote accumulated by the accumulation|stacking part 407a-407c is returned from the rejection part 405c, and it injects into the acceptance part 401 again. The banknotes bound by the banknote binding unit 410 are no longer inserted, and the counting results of the bound banknotes are tentatively determined.

The control unit 420 executes the banknote number mode, uses the banknote number of the banknote acquired by the accepting unit 401 to search the storage unit, extracts classification information associated with the banknote number, and determines the shipping destination of the banknote based on the extracted classification information.

Thereby, each banknote can be accumulated in the same external stacker 406a-406f before failure occurrence and after failure restoration process, and the same sorting state as before failure occurrence can be reproduced.

The above-mentioned embodiments mainly explained the failure recovery processing, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the failure recovery processing. For example, the present invention can be applied when re-sorting banknotes sorted by the banknote handling apparatus and reproducing the same sorting state as the first sorting process. By processing the first sorting process in the normal mode and processing the second sorting process in the banknote number mode, the same sorting state can be reproduced in the first sorting process and the second sorting process.

In addition, the banknote processing in the banknote number mode in the above-mentioned embodiment may be applied to deposit cancellation processing.

In the deposit process, the banknotes of the primary transaction are acquired one by one, the banknote numbers and banknote information of each banknote are obtained, and the delivery destination of the banknote is determined based on the banknote information, and accumulated in the accumulation units 106a to 106d or the rejection unit 102a , 102b. If all the banknotes in one transaction are acquired, the counting result is displayed on the display unit 104, and if the user inputs a confirmation instruction, the counting result is determined, and the banknote number of each banknote is associated with the classification information (delivery destination of the banknote) and is stored. stored in the storage unit 118 .

And, when there are banknotes of the new deposit transaction part, the banknotes of the previously determined transaction part are accumulated (remained) in the accumulation parts 106a-106d and are continuously processed for the new deposit transaction part. banknotes.

The same deposit processing is performed also about the banknote of this new deposit transaction part. Furthermore, when the user cancels the deposit without accepting the counting result displayed on the display unit 104, a cancellation process is performed. Since the counting result has not yet been determined, the banknote numbers of the banknotes of the payment cancellation transaction portion are not stored in the storage unit 118 . The cancellation process will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 .

(Step S301) The user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the stacking units 106a to 106d (and the rejecting units 102a and 102b).

(Step S302 ) The banknotes taken out in Step S301 are put into the acceptance unit 101 again.

(Step S303) The receiving unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.

(Step S304) The acquisition part 112 acquires the banknote number of the acquired banknote.

(Step S305) The control part 111 searches the storage part 118 using the banknote number acquired by step S304.

(Step S306) When the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S304 is memorize|stored in the storage part 118, it progresses to step S307, and when it is not stored, it progresses to step S308. Here, banknotes having the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S304 are not stored in the storage unit 118 are banknotes for which the deposit has been cancelled.

(Step S307 ) The control unit 111 extracts, from the storage unit 118 , classification information (delivery destination of the banknote) associated with the banknote number identical to the banknote number acquired in Step S304 . The control unit 111 determines the delivery destination of the extracted banknotes as the delivery destination of the acquired banknotes.

(Step S308) The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of the acquired banknote as the rejection part 102a or 102b.

(Step S309) The banknotes are sorted and stacked in stacking units 106a to 106d or rejecting units 102a and 102b.

(Step S310 ) When all the banknotes re-introduced into the acceptance unit 101 have been acquired, the cancellation process ends, and when a banknote remains in the acceptance unit 101 , the process returns to step S303 .

Thereby, banknotes of the deposit cancellation transaction part are all conveyed to the rejection part 102a, 102b, and the banknotes of the last transaction part whose deposit has been confirmed are conveyed to the stacking part 106a-106d accumulated before execution of the cancellation process. Thus, when the deposit is cancelled, the same banknotes (actual banknotes) as the banknotes for the deposit cancellation transaction can be separated and withdrawn from the banknotes for the transaction for which the deposit has been confirmed.

In addition, with the banknote processing in the banknote number mode in the above-described embodiment, the deposit is partially canceled with respect to past transactions for which deposit determination has been completed, and it is also possible to separately withdraw the banknotes included in the transaction. In this case, a transaction ID that can uniquely identify a transaction is given to each transaction in the deposit process. The transaction ID may be input by the user, or may be automatically provided by the banknote handling apparatus.

In the deposit process, the banknotes of the primary transaction are acquired one by one, the banknote numbers and banknote information of each banknote are obtained, and the delivery destination of the banknote is determined based on the banknote information, and accumulated in the accumulation units 106a to 106d or the rejection unit 102a, 102b. Moreover, the transaction ID, the banknote number of each banknote, and classification|category information (the delivery destination of a banknote) are associated and are memorize|stored in the memory|storage part 118. When all the banknotes in one transaction are acquired, the counting result is displayed on the display unit 104, and the counting result is finalized when the user inputs a confirmation instruction.

And, when there are banknotes of the new deposit transaction part, the banknotes of the previously determined transaction part are accumulated (remained) in the accumulation parts 106a-106d and are continuously processed for the new deposit transaction part. banknotes. A method of performing deposit cancellation processing for a specified past transaction portion after performing deposit processing for a plurality of transaction portions will be described using the flow chart shown in FIG. 8 .

(Step S401) The user inputs the transaction ID of the transaction to cancel the deposit. The user may input the transaction ID from the operation unit 103, or may display transaction IDs that are candidates for the transaction to be canceled and allow the user to select from among them.

(Step S402) The user takes out the banknotes accumulated in the stacking units 106a to 106d (and the rejecting units 102a and 102b).

(Step S403) The banknote taken out by step S402 is put into the acceptance part 101 again.

(Step S404) The accepting unit 101 takes in banknotes one by one.

(Step S405) The acquisition part 112 acquires the banknote number of the acquired banknote.

(Step S406) The control part 111 searches the storage part 118 using the banknote number acquired in step S405.

(Step S407) When being associated with the banknote number identical to the banknote number obtained in step S405 and stored in the transaction ID in the storage unit 118, enter step S408 under the same situation as the transaction ID input in step S401, different Otherwise, go to step S409.

(Step S408) The control part 111 determines the conveyance destination of the acquired banknote as the rejection part 102a or 102b.

(Step S409) The control part 111 extracts from the storage part 118 the classification information (transportation destination of a banknote) associated with the same banknote number as the banknote number acquired in step S405. The control unit 111 determines the delivery destination of the extracted banknotes as the delivery destination of the acquired banknotes.

(Step S410) The banknotes are sorted and stacked in stacking units 106a to 106d or rejecting units 102a and 102b.

(Step S411 ) When all the banknotes re-injected into the acceptance unit 101 are acquired, the cancellation process is terminated, and when a banknote remains in the acceptance unit 101 , the process returns to step S404 .

Thereby, all the banknotes of deposit cancellation|transaction part are conveyed to the rejection part 102a, 102b, and other banknotes are conveyed to the stacking part 106a-106d accumulated before execution of a cancellation process. Thereby, the same banknote (real banknote) as the banknote of deposit cancellation transaction part can be separated and withdrawn from the banknote of other transaction part. In addition, by using the transaction ID, deposit cancellation processing can also be performed on the banknotes of the past transactions.
