Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine (hereinafter referred to as ATM) used in banking business and the like, and more particularly to processing of banknotes that handle a plurality of types of banknotes having different banknote dimensions.

  In ATM, in response to a user's transaction request for deposit or withdrawal, the banknotes are conveyed one by one in the short direction, the denomination is discriminated, and the banknotes are accumulated in a predetermined storage unit according to the denomination and deposited processing. In addition, the banknote of the designated denomination is paid out from the denomination storage unit and the withdrawal process is performed. Japanese banknotes have the same dimension of 76 mm in the short direction and the length in the long direction range from 150 mm to 160 mm. It is different for each denomination. In order to maintain the banknotes in a well-aligned manner, each banknote storage unit has a short dimension of the banknote of 76 mm, so that the space width of the storage unit has a slight gap, for example, about 77 to 80 mm. It is set.

Conventionally, regarding the handling of banknotes in ATMs, for example, those disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-150110 (Patent Document 1) are known. In this technique, when storing banknotes in the storage unit, the front and back sides of the banknotes are collected and stored, and all the upper and lower sides of the banknotes received by the user at the time of withdrawal are collected and dispensed.
In such a conventional banknote handling device, the dimensions of each storage unit, the separation mechanism, and the stacking mechanism are configured to be optimal for the short dimension of the banknote to be handled, and about handling banknotes with different short dimensions. Is not considered. For example, in the case of a banknote having a short dimension of 80 mm or more, the banknote is stretched on the wall surface of the storage unit, and good stacking cannot be performed. In addition, banknotes of 70 mm or less are disturbed in alignment within the storage unit. For this reason, when banknotes are fed out from the storage unit one by one, the banknotes are not drawn out in a normal posture, and overlapped or tilted, thereby increasing the possibility of being rejected without accurately discriminating the denomination. Further, when stacking in the storage unit, there is a risk that the banknotes collide with each other to cause jam.

  Euro banknotes, Chinese banknotes, and the like are known as banknotes having different short dimensions depending on denominations. For example, a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-172903 (Patent Document 2) is known for reducing banknote jam in a deposit / withdrawal apparatus that handles banknotes having different sizes. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-197516 (Patent Document 3) handles banknotes in a plurality of regions such as overseas by changing the banknote range handled by ATM and the banknote range that can be handled by the banknote deposit and withdrawal mechanism. A possible ATM is disclosed.

  Currently, ATMs that are widely used in Japan handle banknotes with the same short side dimension (76 mm) regardless of denomination. Also, the current Korean banknotes of 1,000 won, 5,000 won, and 10,000 won bills, like Japanese banknotes, are the same 76 mm regardless of denomination, so the same kind of ATM is used. It is popular.

  However, the specifications of Korean banknotes distributed after 2006 have been changed. As shown in FIG. 4, the short dimension of the new banknote is changed from 76 mm of the current banknote to a small dimension of 68 mm. As described above, when a banknote whose short dimension is changed to be small is handled by an ATM in which an existing banknote processing mechanism is mounted, a problem of banknote jam or rejection occurs.

After receiving all types of banknotes and counting them, all types of banknotes were accumulated in a temporary storage, and a deposit transaction was made for the total amount of all types of banknotes. Later, it controls so that the banknote accommodated in the temporary storage is moved to a corresponding denomination box.

  Preferably, the automatic teller machine is configured to temporarily stack and store banknotes whose denominations have been identified in the discrimination unit among the banknotes received in the deposit port, and separate the stored banknotes one by one. The control unit has a temporary storage for feeding and a denomination box for storing the banknotes to be deposited according to denominations, and the control unit is short for accepting the insertion of a plurality of types of banknotes having different dimensions in the short direction into the deposit port. Divided into different types of dimensions, after receiving one predetermined banknote (predetermined banknote) of the first or second type banknotes and counting the predetermined banknotes, the predetermined banknotes are stored in a temporary storage. Then, after the deposit transaction for the total amount of the predetermined banknote is established, the banknotes stored in the temporary storage are controlled to move to the denomination box for each denomination.

  Preferably, the automatic teller machine divides the banknotes inserted into the deposit port into banknotes of a short size and deposits the predetermined types of banknotes in the deposit transaction of a plurality of types of banknotes having different dimensions in the short direction. In the receiving operation, the banknotes received at the deposit port are separated and fed one by one, the denomination is discriminated by the discrimination section, the denomination box as the storage destination is switched according to the discrimination result, and conveyed, and a predetermined type of When banknotes determined to be banknotes are stored in the temporary storage, and other banknotes are accumulated in the deposit reject storage unit and returned to the user, and there are banknotes determined to be different from the predetermined type Guides the user to insert different types of bills.

  Preferably, in an automatic teller machine that transports a plurality of types of banknotes having different short-side dimensions in the short-side direction and performs banknote deposit transactions, the banknotes to be deposited are set in a lump. Temporarily receive the banknotes that have been deducted from the deposit slot that is separated and fed out, the denomination part that discriminates the denomination and authenticity of the banknotes that are fed out from the deposit slot, and the banknotes that have been identified in the discrimination part Collected and stored in a temporary storage cabinet that separates and feeds the stored banknotes one by one, and banknotes to be deposited are grouped into temporary storage boxes for each short dimension and collected, after counting , After the payment transaction for the total amount of multiple types of banknotes divided and accumulated in the temporary storage box for each type of short dimension, the plurality of the banknotes collected in the temporary storage box for each type of short dimension A denomination box that collects various types of banknotes by denomination Configured as an automated cash transaction apparatus having a.

A temporary storage in a predetermined location, a counting operation for the second type of banknotes thereafter, a temporary storage in a predetermined location, and a temporary storage in a predetermined location when the counting operation for all the target banknotes is completed. Storing the first and second banknotes in the denomination box according to denomination.

In a preferred example, the predetermined place where the first and second bills are temporarily stored is the same temporary storage, and the second bill is placed on the first type of banknote stored in the temporary storage. Stored.
Preferably, the second banknote is discharged to the deposit / withdrawal port, the second banknote is re-inserted from the deposit / withdrawal port by the user, and the re-inserted banknote is identified again at the discrimination unit. Based on this, the counting operation of the second banknote is performed.
Moreover, in an example, the banknote determined by the discrimination part as a rejection ticket is conveyed and accommodated in a rejection box.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to handle a plurality of types of banknotes having different lengths in the short direction. Also, at the time of banknote deposit processing, when storing valid banknotes as a result of banknote discrimination from the primary storage unit to the denomination storage unit, the same banknote group in the short direction is conveyed and stored. It is possible to reduce the occurrence of banknote jams and rejections at the related mechanism units.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an ATM.
The ATM 101 receives and processes a customer transaction card, issues a transaction statement slip card / detail slip handling mechanism 102, a passbook handling mechanism 103 that processes a passbook, a coin handling mechanism 104 that processes coins, A bill handling mechanism 100 that processes bills to be deposited and withdrawn, and a customer operation unit 105 that displays information necessary for transactions and performs a customer input operation are configured.

FIG. 2 is a control block diagram of ATM.
The card / detail slip handling mechanism 102, the passbook handling mechanism 103, the coin handling mechanism 104, the bill handling mechanism 100, the user operation unit 105, and the clerk operation unit 52 are connected to the main body control unit 50. Perform necessary control operations under control. The main body control unit 50 is also connected to the host computer 53 and exchanges necessary data.

  The customer operation unit 105 includes a touch panel, displays guidance for transactions on the touch panel (display unit), and enables a customer input operation as an input unit. For example, input of transaction type such as deposit, withdrawal, transfer, etc., password encryption, input of money amount, etc. are displayed and instructed, and those inputs are received and transmitted to the main body control unit 50. The clerk operation unit 52 is an operation unit for a bank clerk to operate and maintain an ATM, and has a display unit and an input unit. For example, when an attendant sets the banknote cassette 12 for banknote replenishment in ATM, the number of banknotes is input from an input part. The display unit displays the ATM state, operation mode, failure location, and the like.

A bill handling mechanism control unit 54 is also connected to the main body control unit 50, and the main body control unit 50 instructs the bill handling mechanism control unit 54 to perform a control operation for bill processing. Processing operations to be instructed include deposit counting, deposit storage, withdrawal, loading, recovery, and the like.
The deposit counting is an operation in which the type of transaction is deposit, and the bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 by the user are counted. The deposit storage is an operation of storing the banknote in the denomination storing unit 10 when the user inputs confirmation as a result of the deposit count. Withdrawing is an operation in which the transaction type is payout, and the amount and denomination banknote specified by the user are separated from the corresponding denomination storage unit 10 and withdrawn to the deposit / withdrawal port 1.
The loading is an operation of loading and replenishing banknotes from the loading safe 12 to the denomination storage 10 when the clerk's instruction or the remaining amount of banknotes in the denomination storage unit 10 decreases. The collection is an operation of collecting banknotes from the denomination storage 10 to the loading safe 12 when an instruction from a staff member or the banknotes in the denomination storage 10 becomes full.

  The main body control unit 50 instructs a processing operation for deposit counting in response to the receipt input being selected as the transaction type from the customer operation unit 105, and as a result of the deposit counting, there is a confirmation input from the user. Sometimes, it instructs the processing operation for deposit storage. Further, in response to a loading instruction input from the clerk operation unit 52, a loading processing operation is instructed. Further, in response to a recovery instruction input from the clerk operation unit 52, a recovery processing operation is instructed.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of the bill handling mechanism 100.
This mechanism is used for Japanese yen banknotes having a short dimension of 76 mm and ATMs handling Korean banknotes. In this embodiment, new and old Korean banknotes as shown in FIG. 4 are handled. That is, the deposit and withdrawal of both the three types of old bills issued before December 2005 and the new bill bills of three denominations different in size from the old bills issued after 2006 are performed.

  The deposit / withdrawal port 1 is a portion where a user inserts banknotes to be deposited in a deposit transaction or discharges banknotes to the user in a deposit transaction, and the banknotes in the deposit / withdrawal port 1 are conveyed one by one to the transport path 2. A separation mechanism for sending out, and a stacking mechanism for stacking banknotes to be released to the user during deposit transactions and withdrawal transactions are provided. The discriminating unit 3 discriminates the authenticity, correctness, denomination, front and back, etc., of the bill that has been conveyed.

  The temporary storage 5 is provided on the top of the safe 12 for loading, and includes a stacking mechanism that stacks the banknotes that are transported one by one in the storage unit, and a separation mechanism that separates the banknotes that are stored one by one. Yes. This accumulation mechanism and separation mechanism temporarily accumulates the deposited banknotes in the temporary storage 5 until the transaction is established, and separates the accumulated banknotes. The storage part of the temporary storage 5 is partitioned from the loading safe 12 by a separator 13. By retracting the separator 13, bills are loaded from the temporary storage 5 into the loading safe 12.

  The money type storage units 8, 9, 10 are locations for storing banknotes for withdrawals by type of money, for example, 10,000 won tickets, thousand won tickets, and the banknotes that are suitable for withdrawal among the banknotes deposited. Store. The money type storage units 8 to 10 each include a stacking mechanism for stacking banknotes conveyed one by one in the storage unit and a separation mechanism for separating the banknotes stored one by one. This device has three denomination storage units 8 to 10, and three of them can be set as 10,000 won tickets. Alternatively, each can be set as a 10,000 won ticket, a 5,000 won ticket, a thousand won ticket, or two can be set as a 10,000 won ticket and one as a thousand won ticket.

  The loading safe 12 is configured to be detachable from the apparatus, and is used when supplying banknotes to the apparatus and when collecting banknotes in the apparatus. An upper portion of the loading safe 12 is provided with a temporary storage 5, which also serves as a mechanism for stacking in the loading safe 12 and separating stacked banknotes. A loading reject box 16 is disposed on the rear surface of the loading safe 12 and when the bills stored in the loading safe 12 are conveyed to the denomination storage units 8 to 10 through the discrimination unit 3 in order to supply the bills to the apparatus. As a result of determination by the discrimination unit 3, banknotes (loading reject tickets) determined to be unsuitable for withdrawal are accumulated.

  The reject box 14 conveys banknotes to the deposit / withdrawal port 1 from the denomination storage units 8 to 10 for the withdrawal of the banknotes determined to be unsuitable for withdrawal by the discrimination unit 3 among the deposited banknotes. At the time, when the banknote is judged to be unsuitable for withdrawal in the discrimination section 3 or when the banknote is transported from the denomination storage section 13 to the loading safe 12 in order to collect the banknote from the apparatus, the discrimination section 3 uses the correct bill. The banknotes (rejected tickets) determined to be not are accumulated.

Next, the control operation of this apparatus will be described.
In the deposit transaction, banknotes inserted by the user into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 2. The bill is judged by the discriminating unit 3 on the conveyance path 2 for authenticity, correctness, denomination, front and back, and the like. As a result, the banknotes determined to be genuine are accumulated in the temporary storage 5 via the transport path 4. On the other hand, the banknote determined as the reject ticket by the discrimination unit 3 passes through the transport path 7 and is accumulated in the deposit / reject storage unit 17 partitioned by the push plate 18 in the deposit / withdrawal port 1. The bill is returned to the user when the shutter 11 at the top of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 is opened. The deposit counting transaction will be described later.

  When the deposit counting transaction is completed through the above operations, the counted amount is displayed on the customer operation unit 105 to notify the customer. When there is a confirmation input by the customer and the transaction is established, the banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage 5 are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 6. The banknotes are identified by the identification unit 3 through the conveyance path 6. As a result of the discrimination, banknotes determined to be genuine are accumulated in the denomination storage units 8 to 10 via the transport paths 4, 7, and 2, respectively. On the other hand, banknotes determined to be rejected by the discrimination unit 3 or banknotes of denominations that cannot be stored in the denomination storing units 8 to 10 are accumulated in the reject box 14.

  In the withdrawal transaction, banknotes for the amount specified by the user are separated one by one from the denomination storage unit 10 by the separation mechanism and sent out to the conveyance path. The banknotes are discriminated by the discrimination unit 3, and the banknotes determined to be genuine are accumulated in the deposit / withdrawal port 1 via the transport paths 4 and 7. On the other hand, the banknote determined as the reject ticket by the discrimination unit 3 is accumulated in the reject box 14. Thereafter, the shutter 11 of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 is opened, and bills are released to the user.

Next, bill replenishment operation and collection operation will be described.
When the loading safe 12 storing the banknotes for withdrawal is set in the apparatus by the operation of the staff, the banknotes in the loading safe 12 are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 6. The conveyed banknotes are determined by the discrimination unit 3, and as a result, the banknotes determined to be genuine are accumulated in the denomination storing units 8 to 10 via the transport paths 4, 7, and 2. On the other hand, among the banknotes separated and transported from the loading safe 12, banknotes determined to be rejected are accumulated in the loading reject box 16.

  When the banknotes in the apparatus are collected and stored in the loading safe 12 by the operation of the staff, the banknotes in the denomination storage units 8 to 10 are separated one by one from the denomination storage units 8 to 10 by the separating mechanism, and the transport path Sent out. The banknotes are determined by the discrimination unit 3, and as a result, the banknotes determined to be correct are accumulated in the loading safe 12. On the other hand, the banknote determined to be a reject ticket is accumulated in the reject box 14.

  In an ATM that performs such an operation, the acceptance of entry into a deposit / withdrawal port is divided into a plurality of types, for example, two types (first type and second type) for each short dimension type, and first type banknotes are first. Only the (banknote with a short dimension of 68 mm) is received and the counting operation is performed. After that, the second type banknote (banknote with a short dimension of 76 mm) is received and the counting operation is performed in the same manner. An operation for establishing a deposit transaction for the total amount of all types of banknotes after receiving all banknotes and completing the counting operation will be described.

  In the counting operation of the deposit transaction, banknotes with different short dimensions inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 2. And the authenticity of a banknote, a damage, a money type, front and back, etc. are determined by the discrimination part 3 on the conveyance path 2. By this determination, the banknote determined to be a genuine note is classified into two types, a first type of banknote and a second type of banknote, according to the short dimension.

  As a result of this determination, the first type banknotes are accumulated in the temporary storage 5 via the transport path 4. Moreover, the banknote determined to be a reject ticket and the second type banknote pass through the transport path 7 and are stored in a deposit / reject storage section 17 partitioned by a push plate 18 in the deposit / withdrawal port 1. Note that the first type of banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage 5 may include a plurality of denominations such as a 10,000 won ticket, a 5,000 won ticket, and a thousand won ticket.

  The banknotes determined to be rejected and stored in the deposit / reject storage unit 17 and the second type of banknotes are temporarily released by opening the shutter 11 of the deposit / withdrawal port 1. The main body control unit 50 displays on the user operation unit 105 guidance for reinserting the reject ticket. In accordance with this, the user re-inserts the banknote released as the reject ticket into the deposit / withdrawal port 1. The banknotes re-inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 (that is, banknotes determined as rejected banknotes and second type banknotes) are separated one by one by the separation mechanism, sent out to the transport path 2, and banknotes at the discrimination unit 3. Authenticity, damage, denomination, front and back are determined again.

As a result of this re-determination, the banknote determined to be the second type of banknote by the correct ticket is stacked on the first type of banknote previously stacked in the temporary storage 5 via the conveyance path 4. . On the other hand, the banknote determined to be a rejected ticket by redetermination in the discrimination unit 3 is sent to the deposit / withdrawal port 1, and the shutter 11 is opened to be returned to the user.
When the deposit counting transaction of the banknotes divided for each short dimension is completed in this way, the total amount is displayed on the customer operation unit 105 to notify the user. When the user sees the displayed amount and inputs confirmation, a deposit transaction is established.

  When the deposit transaction is completed, the operation proceeds to deposit storage operation. That is, the first-type banknotes and the second-type banknotes that are sorted and accumulated in the temporary storage 5 are separated one by one by the separating mechanism and sent out to the conveyance path 6. As for the conveyed banknote, the discrimination part 3 discriminates the banknote, and as a result, the first type banknote determined to be a correct ticket passes through the transport paths 4, 7, 2 and denomination storing part 8. -10 to each money type. Moreover, the 2nd type banknote determined by the discrimination part 3 to be a correct bill is similarly accommodated by money type storage part 8-10 via the conveyance paths 4, 7, and 2, respectively. On the other hand, the banknote determined as the reject ticket by the discrimination unit 3 is conveyed and accumulated in the reject box 14.

  In this way, banknotes classified into two types for each short dimension type are classified into the temporary storage 5 and temporarily accumulated, thereby adjusting the width dimension of the banknotes and preventing the alignment from being disturbed. it can. For this reason, when banknotes are fed out from the temporary storage 5 one by one, it is prevented that the banknotes are fed out in an abnormal posture, overlapped or tilted, and rejected without being able to determine the denomination. Further, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of a jam due to a collision between banknotes when transported from the temporary storage 5 and stored in the denomination storage unit.

  In the above-described deposit counting operation, banknotes with different short-side dimensions inserted by the user from the deposit / withdrawal port 1 are separated one by one by a separation mechanism, distinguished, and each type of correct bill and short-side direction. Only the banknotes determined to be the first type of banknotes divided into two are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 5, and the banknotes determined to be rejected by the discrimination unit 3 and the second types divided into the types of dimensions in the short direction. The types of banknotes are accumulated in the deposit / rejection storage unit 17, the banknotes are discharged to the user, and the user is prompted to re-insert into the deposit / withdrawal port 1.

  In this way, the second type of banknotes divided according to the types of short dimensions are accumulated in the deposit reject storage unit 17, the banknotes are discharged to the user, and re-inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 by the user. First, recounting the bills determined as rejected bills accumulated in the deposit reject storage unit 17 of the bill handling mechanism in the automatic teller machine and the second type of bills divided according to the short dimension type in the device. In the following, an example in which only the second type of banknote is received will be described.

  In the deposit counting operation of the deposit transaction, the bills inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 2. The banknotes on the transport path 2 are discriminated by the discriminating unit 3 for authenticity, correctness, denomination, front and back, etc. of the banknotes. As a result, only the banknote determined to be the first type of banknote divided into the correct and short dimensions is accumulated in the temporary storage unit 5 via the transport path 4.

  On the other hand, the banknotes determined as rejected by the discrimination unit 3 and the second type of banknotes divided for each short dimension pass through the transport path 7 and are deposited by the deposit / withdrawal port 1 inner push plate 18. Accumulate in the reject storage unit 17. These second-type banknotes accumulated in the deposit / rejection storage unit 17 are separated again one by one by the separation mechanism without being opened by the shutter 11 above the deposit / withdrawal port 1, and sent out to the transport path 2. The bill is judged again by the discriminating unit 3 on the conveyance path 2 for authenticity, integrity, denomination, front and back, and the like. As a result, only banknotes determined to be the second type of banknotes divided into the correct and short dimensions are routed through the transport path 4 and are divided into the short dimensions in the temporary storage section 5. It is divided and accumulated on the first type of bills. The banknote determined again as a reject ticket in the discrimination unit 3 is sent to the deposit / withdrawal port 1. Then, the upper shutter 11 is opened, and the bill is released to the user. When the deposit counting transaction of banknotes divided for each type of short dimension is completed, the counted amount is displayed on the customer operation unit 105 to notify the user, and when the user confirms the input, the deposit transaction is established. Treat as.

  When there is a confirmation input by the user and the deposit counting operation of the deposit transaction is established, the bill handling mechanism control unit 54 controls the storing operation of the bill. That is, the first-type banknotes and the second-type banknotes, which are separately collected in the temporary storage unit 5 for each type of short dimension, are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the conveyance path 6. The bill passes through the conveyance path 6 and the discrimination unit 3 again determines the bill. As a result, the first type of banknote determined to be a genuine note is accumulated in each denomination in the denomination storage units 8 to 10 via the transport paths 4, 7, and 2. Similarly, the second type of banknote determined to be a correct ticket is accumulated in the denomination storage units 8 to 10 by denomination via the transport paths 4, 7 and 2. On the other hand, banknotes that are determined to be rejected by the discrimination unit 3 or denominations that cannot be stored in the three denomination storage units 8 to 10 are accumulated in the reject box 14.

  In this way, it is possible to prevent the banknotes from being disturbed by stacking the stacks in the temporary storage unit 5 for each banknote divided for each short dimension. Also, when paying out one by one from the temporary storage unit 5, when the banknotes are not drawn out in a normal posture and overlapped or tilted, the denomination could not be discriminated, or accumulated in the denomination storage unit It is possible to reduce the occurrence of jam due to the collision of bills.

Furthermore, another embodiment will be described.
In this example, the acceptance of banknotes into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 of the automatic teller machine is divided into types of short dimensions, only the first type of banknotes is accepted, and the banknotes of the second type of specific denominations are accepted. This is an example in which a counting transaction is performed in the apparatus, and a deposit transaction for the total amount of banknotes other than the first type of banknote and the second type of specific denomination is established. Here, as an example, it is assumed that only the old 5,000 won is not accepted for deposit transactions, and the bill of the second type of specific denomination is described as the old 5,000 won.

  In the deposit counting operation of the deposit transaction, banknotes with different short dimensions inserted into the deposit / withdrawal port 1 are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 2. The authenticity, correctness, denomination, front and back, etc., of the banknote are determined by the discrimination unit 3 on the transport path 2. As a result, only banknotes determined to be the first type of banknotes classified according to the types of regular and short dimensions are accumulated in the temporary storage unit 5 via the conveyance path 4.

  On the other hand, the second type banknote determined as a reject ticket by the discrimination unit 3 and divided for each type of short dimension passes through the conveyance path 7 and is deposited by the deposit / withdrawal port 1 inner push plate 18. It is accumulated in the reject storage unit 17. The second type of banknotes accumulated in the deposit / rejection storage unit 17 opens the shutter 11 at the top of the deposit / withdrawal port 1 and the banknotes are released to the user. The user re-inserts the obtained second type banknote into the deposit / withdrawal port 1. These second-type banknotes are again separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the transport path 2. The authenticity, correctness, denomination, front and back, etc., of the banknote are determined by the discrimination unit 3 on the transport path 2. As a result, only banknotes determined to be banknotes other than the second type of specific denominations divided according to the types of regular bills and short dimensions are sent to the temporary storage unit 5 via the transport path 4. It accumulates on the 1st kind of bill divided for every kind of size. The banknote determined to be a reject ticket in the discrimination section 3 and the banknote of the second type of specific denomination (old 5,000 won) divided for each type of short dimension, open the shutter 11 above the deposit / withdrawal port 1. , Release banknotes to the user. When the deposit counting transaction for the banknotes other than the first type banknotes and the second type specific denominations divided for each short dimension is completed, the counted amount is displayed on the user operation unit 105 and the user is displayed. If there is a confirmation input by the user and a confirmation input from the user is made, it becomes possible to establish a deposit transaction.

  When there is a confirmation input of the user and the deposit counting operation of the deposit transaction is established, the first type of banknotes and the second type divided by the types of short dimensions accumulated in the temporary storage unit 5 by the deposit storage operation. Banknotes other than the specified denomination are separated one by one by the separation mechanism and sent out to the bill conveyance path. The banknotes pass through the transport path 6 and the banknotes are discriminated in the discriminating unit 3, and the banknotes other than the first type banknotes and the second type specific denominations are classified according to the types of short dimensions determined to be correct. Collects each banknote in denominations in the denomination storage units 8, 9, and 10 via the transport paths 4, 7, and 2. On the other hand, banknotes determined to be rejected by the discrimination unit 3 or banknotes of denominations that cannot be stored in the three denomination storage units 8, 9, and 10 are accumulated in the reject box 14.

  In this way, the first type banknotes that are accumulated in the temporary storage unit 5 for each short dimension type and banknotes other than the second type of specific denominations are divided for each short dimension type. Accumulation for each banknote can prevent disorder of banknote alignment. Also, when paying out one by one from the temporary storage unit 5, when the banknotes are not drawn out in a normal posture and overlapped or tilted, the denomination cannot be discriminated, or accumulated in the denomination storage unit It is possible to reduce the occurrence of jam due to the collision of bills.
