Description

The present invention relates to a deposit device and a method for controlling the deposit device.

In financial institutions such as banks that handle a large amount of banknotes, it is common to handle banknotes in the same posture (orientation) when depositing and withdrawing banknotes. In that case, it is a difficult task to manually align the postures of a large number of banknotes (align the front and back and directions of the banknotes), so financial institutions have introduced a banknote orientation sorting device for aligning the postures of banknotes. This bill direction organizer is expensive because it is a special purpose machine. Further, even if the bill direction rearranging device is introduced, a certain amount of work is required to sort the posture of a large amount of bills. Therefore, there is a demand for financial institutions to accept banknotes in which the attitudes of all banknotes are aligned (organized). In particular, at other financial institutions and commercial facilities that send banknotes to those financial institutions, the banknotes are sent in the same posture in advance.

On the other hand, in many retail stores, the sales amount of the store is managed by a deposit device, and the banknotes are deposited with a financial institution every day or at a predetermined frequency. At that time, there are cases where financial institutions are requested to bring banknotes in the same posture (arranged state). In such a case, it takes time and effort for the retail store to adjust (align) the posture of the banknotes in advance. Therefore, although a deposit device having a function of arranging the posture of banknotes has been introduced, a deposit device having a function of arranging the posture of banknotes is generally expensive.

As a technique for organizing the posture of banknotes, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-153239 (Patent Document 1) is available. This publication states, "In a banknote direction sorting device, it is possible to align the front-back direction and the vertical direction of a large number of banknotes only by the front-back direction sorting mechanism without requiring a specific vertical direction sorting mechanism. I will do it. "

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-153239

By the way, in the technique of Patent Document 1, in order to align the directions (postures) of banknotes, it is necessary to provide front-to-back reversing means (reversing mechanism and reversing path) for reversing the front-to-back sides of the banknotes relatively based on the determination result of the determination unit. Is. However, a deposit device provided with such a physical front-to-back means has a problem that the structure becomes complicated and the cost becomes high. Therefore, even if a retail store wants to introduce a deposit device having a banknote arrangement function, it is difficult to introduce it.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple and low-cost deposit device and a control method for the deposit device.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is, for example, a deposit device including a bill module for storing bills to be deposited and a control unit for controlling the storage of the bills in the bill module. Therefore, the bill module has a slot for inserting the bill, a transport path for transporting the bill, a determination unit for determining the posture of the bill being transported, and the determination unit having a target posture. It is provided with a storage unit for storing the determined banknotes and a discharge port for discharging and accumulating the banknotes determined not to be in the intended posture as rejected banknotes, and a display unit for displaying information is provided, and the control unit is provided. When the banknote is inserted into the insertion slot, guidance information for guiding the insertion posture of the banknote is displayed on the display unit, and the banknote determined by the determination unit is in the target posture. Stores the banknotes in the storage unit, discharges the banknotes that are not in the intended posture to the discharge port as the reject banknotes, and the reject banknotes are discharged to the discharge port in a state where all the banknotes in the slot are drawn out. If it remains, the next guidance information for guiding the posture of the leading bill of the reject bill is displayed on the display unit, and the reject bill determined to be the target posture is controlled to be stored in the storage unit. It is a deposit device.

Further, to give another example of the present invention, a slot for inserting banknotes to be deposited, a transport path for transporting the banknotes, a determination unit for determining the posture of the banknotes being transported, and the determination unit having a target posture. A banknote module having a storage unit for storing the banknotes determined to be A method for controlling a deposit device having a control unit for controlling and displaying information on the display unit, wherein guidance information for guiding the insertion posture of the banknote is displayed on the display unit, and the determination is made. When the bill is in the desired posture, the bill is stored in the storage unit, the bill not in the desired posture is discharged as a reject bill to the discharge port, and the bill in the slot is delivered. When the reject bill remains in the discharge port, the next guidance information for guiding the posture of the leading bill of the reject bill is displayed on the display unit, and the determination unit determines that the posture is the target posture. This is a control method of a deposit device that controls the rejected banknotes to be stored in the storage unit.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a deposit device and a control method of a deposit device capable of organizing banknotes while having a simple structure and low cost.

It is a figure which shows the whole structure in Example 1 of this invention. It is a figure which shows the operation flow in Example 1. FIG. It is a figure which shows the display screen example of the guidance information in Example 1. FIG.

Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The present invention is not limited to the examples described below.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when depositing (storing), hardware such as a reversing mechanism for changing the direction of banknotes by displaying appropriate guidance information so that the user can easily align and deposit banknotes. It is possible to store (deposit) banknotes in a straightened (aligned) state in the storage unit with a simple structure by omitting the wear.

Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a deposit system according to an embodiment. The deposit system in this embodiment is composed of a deposit device 1 and a higher-level system 2.

In FIG. 1, the deposit device 1 has a function of storing (depositing) the bills in the storage portion 133 in the bill module 13 in a state where the postures of the bills are arranged. The host system 2 is configured to be able to communicate with the deposit device 1 via a communication means (communication unit 10), and stores information on the deposit result of the deposit device 1, user ID, and management information of the deposit device 1. Etc. are memorized and managed.

In this embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, a deposit system composed of one host system 2 and one deposit device 1 is shown, but the present invention is limited to such a configuration. It's not a thing. For example, a plurality of deposit devices 1 may be provided, and the host system 2 may be constructed as a deposit system that connects to the plurality of deposit devices 1. In such a deposit system, for example, an upper system 2 is provided for each region, and the upper system 2 manages the deposit results of a plurality of deposit devices 1 installed in each store in the region. It is convenient in such cases.

The deposit device 1 has a display unit 12 that displays an operation menu screen and guidance information that prompts the user to operate the deposit posture, and receives sales proceeds to identify bills (identification of denomination and authenticity) and posture of bills (identification of denomination and authenticity). It is provided with a bill module 13 that determines (four postures of front and back, upper and lower) and stores it in the storage unit based on the determination result. Further, the deposit device 1 displays information such as guidance information on the display unit 12, controls the bill module 13, and executes a general control operation of recording the deposit result such as the deposit of sales proceeds in the storage unit. The control unit 11 is provided. Specifically, the control unit 11 can use a normal computer. The details of the operation of the control unit 11 will be described later.

The display unit 12 is composed of a display with a touch panel, and under the control of the control unit 11, not only displays guidance information prompting the user to operate the operation menu screen and the deposit / withdrawal device, but also inputs a selection operation from the user. Is also possible. Here, the "guidance information" is information for guiding the insertion posture of the banknote when the user inserts the banknote to be deposited into the banknote module 13.

The bill module 13 includes an insertion slot 131 (payment slot) for receiving bills such as sales proceeds, a determination unit 132 for identifying bills deposited from the slot 131 and determining the posture of the bill, and a bill having a target posture (a bill with a target posture). A storage unit 133 for storing (storage permitted banknotes), a transport path 134 for transporting banknotes inserted into the slot 131 to the storage unit 133 via the determination unit 132, and banknotes determined not to be in the desired posture (hereinafter referred to as , Reject banknotes) are provided with an outlet 135 for accumulating.

Further, the insertion slot 131 is configured with a bill insertion detection unit including a reflective sensor or the like that detects whether or not a bill has been inserted. Similarly, a receipt detection unit including a reflection type sensor or the like that detects whether or not a bill has been received (whether or not it has been taken out) when a bill other than the target posture (a bill having a different posture) is taken out is configured.

The determination unit 132 determines the state of the banknotes transported by the transport path 134 (determines whether or not the banknotes are defective, determines the denomination of the banknotes, and determines the posture of the banknotes). The information of the determination result of the determination unit 132 is transmitted to the control unit 11. The control unit 11 determines the destination of the bill based on this information, drives the transport path 134, and transports the bill to each destination. That is, the control unit 11 controls the determination unit 132 to store the banknotes determined not to be "defective banknotes" but also to have the "desired posture" in the storage cassette of the storage unit 133. Further, the control unit 11 executes a control of driving the transport path 134 and discharging the bills determined not to be "defective bills" but not the "desired posture" to the discharge port 135 as "reject bills". "Defective banknotes" are stored in a cassette for storing defective banknotes in the storage unit. Further, the control unit 11 receives the information of the determination result, stores the banknote posture in the banknote transport posture storage unit 14, stores the banknotes to be stored in the banknote transport destination storage unit 15, and stores the banknote image at the time of determination in the banknote image image. I remember each in part 16.

The storage unit 133 is provided for storing (depositing) banknotes arranged in a desired posture, and at least one storage (storage cassette) is required. However, it is common for banknotes in every country to have multiple types (denominations). For example, in Japan, there are 10,000-yen bills, 5,000-yen bills, 2,000-yen bills, and 1,000-yen bills. Therefore, if only one storage is provided, it is inconvenient because bills cannot be stored for each denomination. In this embodiment, a plurality of storages (in this embodiment, four storage cassettes corresponding to denominations A to D) are provided according to the number of denominations of banknotes. As a result, it is not necessary to insert the banknotes arranged in a state in which the denominations are collected in advance into the insertion slot 131. That is, even when banknotes in a state in which denominations are mixed are inserted into the slot 131, each banknote is determined by the determination unit 132, and the banknotes having the desired posture are dealt with for each denomination according to the determination result. Can be stored in a storage cassette. Further, the storage unit 133 stores a defective banknote cassette for storing defective banknotes (counterfeit banknotes, banknotes with breakage, defects, etc.) determined to be not genuine banknotes determined by the determination process of the determination unit 132. It is provided. Since the defective banknotes are stored in the defective banknote cassette, it is possible to save the trouble of taking out the defective banknotes from the discharge port 135. It should be noted that the defective banknote cassette may not be provided and the defective banknote may be discharged (rejected) to the discharge port 135 as it is.

In this embodiment, a discharge port 135 for collecting rejected bills (banknotes determined by the determination unit 132 to be not in the desired posture as a result of bill insertion) is provided adjacent to the bill insertion slot 131. As a result, the user can easily insert the rejected banknotes accumulated in the discharge port 135 into the insertion port 131 next. The ejected reject banknotes are discharged to the discharge port 135 in a state where banknotes of a plurality of denominations (in this example, banknotes of four denominations) are mixed. That is, the banknotes (rejected banknotes) that are not stored in each storage cassette by the determination of the determination unit 132 are discharged and accumulated in the discharge port 135 via the transport path 134 regardless of the denomination.

The deposit device 1 also has a bill transport posture storage unit 14 for storing bill transport postures, a bill transport destination storage unit 15 for storing bill transport destinations, a transport bill image storage unit 16 for storing transport bill images, and deposit information. It is provided with a deposit information storage unit 17 for storing. Each of these storage units (14 to 17) may be provided as an individual storage unit as shown in the figure, but one storage unit is divided into a plurality of storage areas, and information is provided in each of the divided areas. You may try to memorize. Further, the deposit device 1 includes a deposit port bill posture detection unit 18 and a deposit port bill posture notification unit 19.

The host system 2 has a function of inputting and managing the deposit processing result recorded in the deposit information recording unit 17 of the deposit device 1 via the communication unit 10. Therefore, the higher-level system 2 in this embodiment includes a higher-level computer 21 and a deposit result database 22 for storing transaction results.

Next, the operation in the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 2 is an operation flow diagram of the deposit device in the embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of guidance information.

First, the user (worker) who deposits banknotes taps the screen of the display unit 12 (see FIG. 1) of the standby deposit device 1 and selects "deposit operation" from the selection menu screen. As a result, the deposit device 1 (specifically, the control unit 11) starts the deposit operation of banknotes (the operation of organizing and storing banknotes). This is the operation of steps S01 and 02 in FIG. Since the control unit 11 performs general control operations of the deposit device 1, in the following description, the operation by the control unit 11 may be described as an operation by the deposit device 1.

Next, the deposit device 1 (control unit 11) generates a new deposit number (reference number for deposit operation) in the deposit information storage unit 17, checks the reception count table of the deposit number, and receives the first time. Record that it is the reception desk of.

Next, the deposit device 1 (control unit 11) displays an ID input reception screen for inputting a user's ID for identity confirmation on the display unit 12, and when the ID input by the user is a registered user. Display the user confirmation screen. Specifically, the deposit device 1 records the input ID information in the deposit information storage unit 17, and transmits this ID to the host system 2 through the communication unit 10. The host system 2 returns user information such as the name of the user corresponding to the received ID to the deposit device 1. The user information is stored in the user information database 23. The deposit device 1 (control unit 11) records the received user information in the deposit information storage unit 17, and displays the user information on the screen of the display unit 12 and determines whether or not the displayed user information matches the user. Displays a user confirmation screen for confirmation. Then, the confirmation operation of the user is accepted. The user sees the user confirmation screen of the display unit 12, confirms that the information is the user, and then taps the confirmation button displayed on the displayed screen to confirm that the information is the user himself / herself. Enter the user information confirmation result information. The deposit device 1 (control unit 11) records the input user information confirmation result information in the deposit information storage unit 17. This is the operation of steps S03 and S04 in FIG.

Next, the deposit device 1 confirms whether or not it is the first reception from the reception count table of the payment number. This is the operation of step S05. Next, the deposit device 1 (control unit 11) displays a guidance screen on the display unit 12. In step S05, in the case of the first closing operation (YES), the process proceeds to step S06. If it is not the first time in step S05 (NO, that is, the second time or more), the process proceeds to step S07.

Here, there are four types of banknote orientations (postures). In the following explanation, the front x upward posture is the "first posture", the front x downward posture is the "second posture", the back x upward posture is the "third posture", and the back x downward posture. The posture will be referred to as the "fourth posture". Then, in the following description, the target posture (posture of banknotes for which deposit storage is permitted) is set as the "first posture", and the postures other than the target posture are not permitted for storage.

In step S06 of FIG. 2, the deposit device 1 (control unit 11) sets the above guidance information as the first posture (the posture of the bill for which deposit storage is permitted) for the display unit 12, and the head of the bill to be inserted. Guidance information instructing that the posture of is the first posture is displayed on the screen of the display unit 12. That is, in step S06, the target posture (first posture) is set, and in step S07, the guidance information in the case of the first bill insertion in the transaction number is displayed on the display unit 12. As shown in FIG. 3A, this guidance information is a content for guiding the user to set the first bill (the first bill) in the first posture (= storage permission posture). The guidance information in this example is displayed as a set of a wording 51 for facilitating the user's insertion of banknotes and a posture screen 52 indicating a posture for inserting banknotes into the insertion slot corresponding to the wording 51. ing. However, the guidance information does not have to have such contents, and there is no problem as long as it is guidance information that facilitates the user to properly insert the bill into the slot 131. This operation is step S07 in FIG.

Based on this guidance information, the user sets (inserts) a bundle of banknotes in the insertion slot 131 of the banknote module 13 so that the posture of the first bill (leading bill) is the first posture (target posture). Is possible. According to the display on the payment acceptance guidance screen, the user inserts banknotes into the insertion slot 131 so that the posture of the head (top surface) banknote of the bundle of banknotes is the first posture. This is step S08 in FIG.

When the deposit device 1 detects that a bill has been inserted in the insertion detection unit of the insertion slot 131, the deposit information storage unit 17 records that the bill has been inserted. Then, in step S09 of FIG. 2, the insertion slot bill detection unit detects the posture of the leading bill (the top bill). Next, in step S10, it is compared whether or not it is the first posture indicated by the guidance. As a result of the comparison in step S10, if the leading posture of the bill is the first posture (YES), the process proceeds to step S13, and if it is not the first posture (NO), the process proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the display unit 12 displays that the posture of the bill of the displayed guidance information is different from the posture of the leading bill inserted into the slot 131, and guides the user to change the posture of the bill and reinsert it. do. With this display, the user changes the posture of the bill inserted into the insertion slot 131 and reinserts the bill. This operation is step S12. The operations of steps S09 to S12 are repeated until the posture of the head of the bill inserted into the insertion slot 131 becomes the first posture.

In step S13, the transport of the bills inserted into the insertion slot 131 is started. In step S14, the banknotes inserted into the insertion slot 131 are separated one by one and conveyed to the determination unit 132. That is, in the transport path 134, the bills inserted into the insertion slot 131 are separated one by one and the bills are conveyed so as to pass through the determination unit 132. The determination unit 132 determines the state of each banknote (determination of denomination, determination of whether or not it is a defective banknote, and determination of posture).

In step S15, the determination unit 132 outputs the attitude (direction) of the banknote, the denomination, and the determination result information of whether or not the banknote is defective to the control unit 11. As a result, the control unit 11 controls to convey the defective banknotes to the defective banknote cassette, and to store the banknotes that are not defective and are in the first posture in the storage cassette in the storage unit 133 by denomination. .. The control unit 11 controls the transport path 134 so that bills determined not to be in the target posture (banknotes in the second posture to the fourth posture) are transported (discharged) to the discharge port 135 as reject bills. As a result, rejected banknotes are collected in the discharge port 135. The control unit 11 records the banknote transport attitude information in the banknote transport attitude storage unit 14 and also transports the banknotes based on the authenticity determination result of each banknote, the denomination, the number of sheets, and the medium transport destination information which is the information of the transport destination. The destination information is recorded (stored) in the bill transport destination storage unit 15. This operation is the operation of step S16 in FIG.

Here, among the rejected banknotes, the attitude information of the first (head) rejected banknote is recorded. This operation is the operation of step S17 and step S18 in FIG. This attitude of the rejected banknote at the head is used to determine the next guidance information when the rejected banknotes accumulated in the discharge port 135 are inserted into the slot 131.

In step S19 of FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the reject banknotes discharged to the discharge port 135 are full. If it is not full, the process proceeds to the next step S20, and it is determined whether or not undelivered banknotes remain in the slot 131. If undelivered banknotes remain, the process returns to step S14, and the operations of steps S14 to S20 are repeated. By this operation, the banknotes can be conveyed until all the banknotes inserted in the insertion slot 131 are exhausted. When the banknotes are repeatedly transported, the banknote module 13 detects that all the banknotes inserted by the insertion detection unit have been conveyed and the insertion slot 131 has become empty, and detects that all the banknotes on the transfer path have been conveyed. The control unit 11 can confirm that the first reception has been completed. During this time, the control unit 11 stores the banknotes in the storage unit 133 based on the determination result, and conveys the rejected banknotes to the discharge port 135. Further, the control unit 11 records the banknote posture information and the banknote transport destination information of all the banknotes determined by the determination unit 132 as the first reception.

In step S21 of FIG. 2, the control unit 11 determines the bill transport posture and the next insertion direction from the bill transport destination. Further, in step S22, the "next guidance information" which is the guidance information when the rejected banknote is next inserted into the insertion slot 131 is determined from the insertion direction and the posture of the leading rejected banknote recorded in step S18. ..

Next, the control unit 11 executes the operation of step S23, and confirms whether or not the rejected banknote is generated from the medium transport destination information. As a result of the banknote storage and ejection operation by the first insertion, rejected banknotes (banknotes not in the desired posture) are usually accumulated in the ejection port 135. In step S23, when the rejected banknotes are accumulated (remaining) (YES), the control unit 11 displays a screen instructing the display unit 12 to receive the rejected banknotes. As a result, the user receives the rejected banknote (step S25). When the user receives the banknotes at the withdrawal port according to the banknote receiving screen, the deposit device 1 (control unit 11) detects that the discharge port 135 is empty at the receipt detection unit, and the result of the user receiving the rejected banknotes is obtained. It is recorded in the deposit information storage unit 17 and displayed on the deposit result confirmation screen to prompt the user to confirm.

Subsequently, in step S26, the control unit 11 updates the number of receptions to the slot for the transaction number being deposited. That is, when the operation by the first input is completed, the operation is updated the second time. Then, the guidance information displayed on the display unit 12 is updated to the next guidance information.

If there are no rejected banknotes in step S23, it is determined that the posture arrangement of the banknotes this time is completed and the storage (payment) is completed, and the process proceeds to step S27.

In step S27, the deposit result information including the deposit amount including the denomination and the number of bills transported to the storage cassette is recorded in the deposit information storage unit 17, and is displayed on the deposit result confirmation screen for confirmation by the user. prompt. The user confirms the deposit result confirmation screen, confirms that the deposit result is correct, and then taps the confirmation button to complete the deposit process at the transaction number.

Next, the process proceeds to step S28, and it is confirmed whether or not there are other banknotes to be deposited. For this confirmation, a confirmation button for selecting whether or not there is another bill to be deposited is displayed on the display unit 12, and the user selects one of the buttons. When the button for confirming the existence of other banknotes to be deposited is tapped by the user's selection, it is determined that there are other banknotes to be deposited, the process returns to step S05, and the above-mentioned operation is repeated. That is, the next transaction number is set, the number of times of input is assumed to be the first input, and the process proceeds to step S05. When the button for selecting that there are no other banknotes to be deposited is tapped in step S28, the control unit 11 determines that there are no other banknotes to be deposited, and proceeds to step S29.

In step S29, the completion of the deposit operation is recorded in the deposit information storage unit 17, the receipt is printed, and the standby screen is displayed. The user receives the printed receipt and submits it to the administrator or the like as evidence that the payment of sales has been completed.

If the rejected banknotes remain in step S23, the operations of steps S24 to S26 are executed, and the process returns to step S05. In step S26, the next time (for example, the second time) when the rejected banknotes ejected to the display unit 12 as having a posture other than the intended posture in the previous (for example, the first) deposit operation are inserted into the insertion slot 131. Display guidance information. By displaying the next guidance information, the user can insert the rejected banknotes into the insertion slot 131 so as to match the display of the next guidance information. If the rejected banknotes are inserted in a posture that does not match the displayed guidance information, the operation of steps S08 to S12 guides the user to match the guidance displayed posture. As a result, the user repeats the insertion operation until the rejected bill is in the posture displayed in the guidance. If the posture of the leading banknote matches the displayed guidance information in step S10 (YES), the process proceeds to step S13.

The operations from step S13 to step S23 are the same as in the case of the first bill insertion described above. That is, the rejected banknotes inserted into the insertion slot 131 are conveyed by the transport path 134 and determined by the determination unit 132. As a result, the control unit 11 executes control to store the banknotes determined to be in the target posture in this time of transportation in the storage cassette corresponding to each denomination. Then, in the insertion operation of this time (for example, the second time), the bills determined not to be in the target posture are again conveyed to the discharge port 135 as reject bills. If rejected banknotes remain in step S23, these operations are repeatedly executed. Since there are four postures of banknotes, all the banknotes are stored in the storage unit 133 by inserting the banknotes up to four times (up to three times when only the rejected banknotes are inserted).

Here, when the guidance information is displayed when the first posture is the desired posture to be stored, not only the first bill insertion but also the second and subsequent bill insertion (reject bill insertion) is performed. In addition, it is sufficient to give guidance so that the posture of the bill (first bill) at the head of the reject bill becomes the first posture. That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the next guidance information may be the same as the guidance information in the first case even when the bills are inserted for the second time or later. By displaying such guidance information, the banknotes arranged in the desired posture can be deposited in the storage unit by inserting the banknotes up to four times.

However, in this embodiment, among the rejected banknotes, the banknote having the most posture in the previous banknote insertion operation is stored in the delivery cassette in the next insertion operation. That is, using the posture of the rejected banknote at the beginning and the posture of the rejected banknote (the second to fourth postures), which is the maximum number of sheets, the posture of the maximum number of sheets is used in the next insertion operation. Guidance is displayed so that a certain bill can be stored in the storage cassette. That is, when it becomes a rejected banknote because it is not the first posture, the posture of the most posture information is changed from the most posture information which is the information of the posture of the rejected bill obtained most from the bill posture information corresponding to the bill transport destination information. 1 Determine the direction of the inserted bill to be converted into the posture as the next insertion direction, and use it as new guidance information. For example, if the posture of the bill module 13 inserted into the deposit slot and the posture of the bill discharged to the withdrawal port are the same and the maximum posture information is the second posture, the next insertion direction is changed up and down. It becomes the direction of. The new guidance information (next guidance information) is a notification that the posture orientations are not aligned and a guidance for urging the rejected banknote bundle to be vertically converted and then inserted into the slot 131. That is, by displaying the guidance as shown in (B) and (C) of FIG. 3 instead of always giving the guidance as shown in (A) of FIG. 3, it becomes possible to store the banknotes in the most postures. ..

According to such a guidance display, by determining the guidance information based on the maximum posture information, the above-mentioned insertion is performed rather than the guidance to insert all four directions in order without worrying about the direction of the inserted bill. By reflecting the direction of the banknotes, the input amount = time until all the banknotes are taken in can be shortened.

In addition, the insertion slot medium posture detection unit for detecting the posture of the bill inserted into the insertion slot 131 may be performed by using an image taken by a camera or the like, and the insertion slot for detecting the posture of the bill inserted into the deposit slot. The medium posture notification unit may be provided with a speaker or the like for notifying the user of the detection result.

When the deposit device detects that a bill has been inserted into the deposit slot by the insertion detection unit, the deposit device detects whether or not the bill inserted by the insertion slot medium posture detection unit is in the first posture, and displays the result on the display unit or the insertion slot. The mouth medium posture notification unit notifies, and when it is detected that it is not the first posture, a display or notification is given to urge the player to put it in the first posture.
