Then, it is indicated whether or not it should be judged (should it be judged that it corresponds to an unfit note). In addition, in the example of FIG. 4, "RJ" has shown the reject banknote (an example of a specific banknote). For example, in the example of FIG. 4, a banknote with a denomination of “5 Yuan Renminbi” and a loss factor of “hole loss” should be determined to be a “specific reject note”. Banknotes that are classified as “banknotes” and have a denomination of “5 Yuan Renminbi” and a loss factor of “Cover Fold” should be determined to be “unfit notes” (“specific unfit notes (reject notes ) ”Should not be judged to correspond to“) ”.

  Further, in the second determination table (second determination condition) shown in FIG. 5, whether it is determined that the old ticket corresponds to the specific banknote or whether the old banknote does not correspond to the specific banknote for each denomination ( Should it be judged as an old ticket)? In the example of FIG. 5, “RJ” indicates that the old note of the denomination should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, and the hyphen indicates that the old ticket of the denomination corresponds to the specific banknote. It indicates that it should not be judged (it should be judged that it corresponds to an old ticket).

  Further, in the second determination table (third determination condition) shown in FIG. 5, it should be determined whether the unreadable bills correspond to the specific banknotes or not to the specific banknotes for each denomination. (Should it be judged as a non-readable ticket?). In addition, in the example of FIG. 5, “RJ” indicates that the unreadable bill of the denomination should be determined to correspond to the specific bill, and the hyphen indicates that the unreadable bill of the denomination is the specific bill. It indicates that it should not be determined to be applicable (it should be determined to be applicable to an unreadable ticket).

  Further, the setting unit 51 is configured to display a setting screen (a setting screen for setting the specific currency condition) as shown in FIG. 6 on the operation unit 40 (the operation unit 40 which also serves as the display unit). There is. In the example of FIG. 6, the first determination condition (whether the banknote corresponding to the damage factor of 20 yuan is the banknote that should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote) and the second determination condition (20 yuan) for 20 yuan Setting for setting the old bill of No. 1 as a bill that should be determined to correspond to a specific bill) and the third determination condition (whether the 20-yuan unreadable bill should be determined to correspond to a specific bill) The screen is illustrated. The operator selects a desired setting from the pull-down menu of each item included in the setting screen displayed on the operation unit 40. Then, the setting unit 51 sets (or changes) the specific currency determination condition according to the operation of the operation unit 40 by the operator (information input by the operation).

Are created for each banknote and are output to the external device 100.

[Operation by banknote processing device]
Next, the operation of the bill processing apparatus 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

<Step ST101>
First, bills to be processed are taken into the bill processing apparatus 1. The identification unit 21 performs an identification process on the taken bills (in this example, the denomination of the bill, whether the item is old or new, old and new, the reading of the serial number of the bill, the conveyance abnormality of the bill, the size abnormality, and the denomination. Distinction between anomalies and true / false anomalies). In the banknote handling apparatus 1, the following processes are performed on the banknotes that have been subjected to the identification process by the identification unit 21. Specifically, the identification unit 21, the determination unit 52, and the control unit 53 perform the following processing.

<Step ST102>
The determination unit 52 determines whether the identification unit 21 has identified an abnormality in the conveyance of the bill to be determined. When the identification unit 21 has identified the conveyance abnormality of the bill to be determined, the determiner 52 determines that the bill to be determined corresponds to the specific bill, and proceeds to step ST401. On the other hand, if the identifying unit 21 does not identify the conveyance abnormality of the bill to be determined, the process proceeds to step ST103.

<Step ST103>
Next, the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the size abnormality of the banknote to be determined is identified by the identification unit 21. When the identifying unit 21 identifies the size abnormality of the determination target banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401. On the other hand, if the identifying unit 21 does not identify the size abnormality of the bill to be determined, the process proceeds to step ST104.

<Step ST104>
Next, the determination unit 52 determines whether the identification unit 21 has identified an abnormality in the denomination of the determination target banknote. When the identifying unit 21 identifies the denomination abnormality of the determination target banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401. On the other hand, when the identifying unit 21 does not identify the denomination abnormality of the bill to be determined, the process proceeds to step ST105.

<Step ST105>
Next, the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the authenticity abnormality of the banknote to be determined (that is, the banknote corresponds to a counterfeit banknote) is identified by the identification unit 21. When the authenticity abnormality of the determination target banknote is identified by the identification unit 21, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401. On the other hand, if the identifying unit 21 does not identify the true / false abnormality of the determination target banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to a genuine note, and proceeds to step ST106.

<Steps ST106 and ST107>
Next, the determination unit 52 determines whether or not the banknote to be determined has been identified by the identification unit 21 as a genuine note (ST106). If the bill to be judged is identified as corresponding to the banknote in the identification unit 21, determination unit 52 determines that the bill to be determined corresponds to the banknote, the process proceeds to step ST 201.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 21 does not identify that the bill to be determined corresponds to a genuine bill, the determination unit 52 determines whether the specific currency determination condition set in the setting unit 51 and the determination target identified in the identification unit 21. Based on the denomination and the damage factor of the bill, it is determined whether the bill to be determined corresponds to the specific bill (ST107). When the banknote to be determined is not the banknote to be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to an unfit banknote, and proceeds to step ST201. On the other hand, when the banknote to be determined is a banknote that should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Steps ST201, ST202>
After it is determined in step ST106 (or step ST107) that the bill to be determined is a genuine bill (or unfit bill), the determining unit 52 determines whether the bill to be determined corresponds to a new bill in the identifying unit 21. Is determined (ST201). When the identifying unit 21 identifies that the determination target banknote corresponds to a new note, the determining unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to a new note, and proceeds to step ST301.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 21 does not identify that the determination target banknote corresponds to a new note, the determination unit 52 determines whether the specific currency determination condition set in the setting unit 51 and the determination target identified in the identification unit 21. Based on the denomination of the banknote and the old and new, it is determined whether the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote (ST202). When the banknote to be determined is not a banknote that should be determined to be a specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to an old banknote, and proceeds to step ST301. On the other hand, when the banknote to be determined is a banknote that should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Steps ST301, ST302>
After it is determined in step ST201 (or step ST202) that the banknote to be determined is a new note (or old note), the determination unit 52 determines whether the identification unit 21 has read the serial number of the banknote to be determined. (ST301). When the identification unit 21 can read the serial number of the determination target banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to a readable ticket (a banknote whose serial number has been read), and proceeds to step ST401.

  On the other hand, when the identification unit 21 cannot read the serial number of the determination target banknote, the determination unit 52 determines the specific currency determination condition set in the setting unit 51 and the money of the determination target banknote identified by the identification unit 21. Based on the type and whether or not the serial number of the determination target banknote can be read by the identification unit 21, it is determined whether the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote (ST302). When the banknote to be determined is not the banknote to be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the unreadable banknote (banknote whose serial number could not be read), and proceeds to step ST401. . On the other hand, when the banknote to be determined is a banknote that should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, the determination unit 52 determines that the banknote to be determined corresponds to the specific banknote, and proceeds to step ST401.

<Step ST401>
Next, the control unit 53 controls the transportation of the bill to be determined by the transport unit 30 according to the identification result of the identification unit 21 and the determination result of the determination unit 52. In this example, the control unit 53 causes the determination target banknote to be conveyed to the reject stacker 12 when the determination target banknote determines that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote (reject ticket in this example). Then, the conveyance of the bill by the conveyance unit 30 is controlled. Further, when the determination unit 52 does not determine that the determination target banknote corresponds to the specific banknote (rejected banknote in this example), the control unit 53 determines that the determination target banknote is the first non-bundling stacker 13 and the second non-binding stacker 13. The transport of the banknotes by the transport unit 30 is controlled so that the banknotes are transported to one of the binding stacker 14, the first binding stacker 15, and the second binding stacker 16.

  It should be noted that conveyance abnormality determination (step ST102), size abnormality determination (step ST103), denomination abnormality determination (step ST104), true / false abnormality determination (step ST105), damage determination (steps ST106 and ST107), old and new determination (step The order of ST201, ST202) and the readability determination (steps ST301, ST302) is not limited to the order shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, but may be any order.

[Specific example of operation by bill processing device]
Next, the operation of the bill processing apparatus 1 will be described with a specific example. Here, it is assumed that the types of banknotes are assigned to the reject stacker 12, the first and second non-binding stackers 13 and 14, and the first and second binding stackers 15 and 16 as follows.

Reject stacker 12: Specific banknote (reject ticket)
First unbound stacker 13: 100 yuan genuine bills Second non-union stacker 14: banknotes other than 100 yuan First union stacker 15: 100 yuan unfit bills Second union stacker 16: 100 yuan unfit bills In the judgment conditions, "a banknote whose denomination is 100 yuan and the damage factor is partial tape and full tape" and "a denomination is 50 yuan and the damage factor is partial tape and full tape" It is assumed that "a banknote to be processed" is a "banknote that should be determined to correspond to a specific banknote (reject ticket)", and other banknotes are "banknotes to be determined to correspond to an unfit banknote".

  In this case, 100-yuan genuine bills are conveyed to the first non-binding stacker 13 and accumulated. A 100-yuan tape ticket (a banknote with a tape partially or wholly attached) is determined by the determination unit 52 to be a specific banknote (reject ticket). The specific currency is not subjected to counting processing, classification processing, or bundling processing, and is transported to the reject stacker 12 and returned. On the other hand, an unfit note different from the 100 yuan tape note (100 yuan unfit note whose correctness factor does not correspond to the partial tape and the full tape) is determined by the determination unit 52 to be an unfit note, and the first binding stacker 15 (Or it is conveyed to the second binding stacker 16) and accumulated.

  The original 50-yen bills are conveyed to the second non-binding stacker 14 and stacked. The 50-yuan tape ticket is determined by the determination unit 52 to be a specific banknote (reject ticket). The specific currency is not subjected to counting processing, classification processing, or bundling processing, and is transported to the reject stacker 12 and returned. On the other hand, an unfit note different from the 50 yuan tape note (50 yuan unfit note whose correctness factor does not correspond to the partial tape and the full tape) is determined to be an unfit note by the determination unit 52, and the second unbound stacker. It is transported to 14 and accumulated.

  In this way, the tape denominations of 100 yuan and 50 yuan can be excluded from the processing target, while the unfit banknotes different from the tape denominations of the 100 yuan and 50 yuan can be processed. That is, the control unit 53 is an unfit banknote corresponding to a fitness factor different from the fitness factor corresponding to the specific banknote in the determination unit 52 (specifically, a banknote corresponding to the same denomination as the denomination of the specific banknote. In addition, a banknote determined to correspond to a specific banknote corresponding to a normal banknote different from the normal banknote) is a predetermined banknote that is different from the specific banknote destination (reject stacker 12 in this example). The banknote transport by the transport unit 30 is controlled so that the banknotes are transported to a transport destination (in this example, any one of the second unstacked stacker 14, the first bundled stacker 15, and the second bundled stacker 16). ing.

[Effects of First Embodiment]
As described above, the specific currency determination condition including the first determination condition indicating which banknote of which denomination corresponds to which fitness factor should correspond to the specific banknote, and the banknote identified by the identification unit 21. The handling of a specific banknote (whether or not to handle the banknote as a specific banknote predetermined) is determined by determining whether the banknote corresponds to the specific banknote predetermined based on the new type and the damage factor. It can be set according to the type and the damage factor. For example, a banknote whose denomination is a relatively high denomination and whose damage factor is a partial tape or full tape (high-value tape ticket) is treated as a specific banknote (for example, reject ticket), while Banknotes corresponding to a relatively low denomination can be treated as unfit notes even if the damage factor of the banknote corresponds to the partial tape or the full tape. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be improved.

  Further, by handling the specific banknote as a banknote that is not subject to processing (for example, a banknote that is not targeted for counting processing, classification processing, or bundling processing, in this example, a reject banknote), the handling of the specific banknote is targeted. It can be handled in the same way as bills placed outside.

  Further, the banknote determined to correspond to the unfit banknote corresponding to the damage factor different from the damage factor corresponding to the specific banknote by the determination unit 52 is a predetermined transport different from the reject stacker 12 (an example of the reject unit). By controlling the transportation of the banknotes by the transport unit 30 so that the banknotes are transported to the front, the handling of the specific banknotes can be set to be different from the handling of the unfit currency.

  Further, a specific currency determination condition including a second determination condition indicating which denomination of the old ticket should be determined to correspond to the specific banknote, and a denomination and old and new of the banknote identified by the identification unit 21. By determining whether or not the banknote corresponds to the specific banknote based on this, the handling of the banknote can be set for each denomination and old and new. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be further improved.

  Further, a specific currency determination condition including a third determination condition indicating which denomination of unreadable bill should be determined to correspond to a specific banknote, a denomination of the banknote identified by the identification unit 21, and an identification unit. By determining whether or not the banknote corresponds to the specific banknote based on whether or not the serial number of the banknote in 21 is readable, the handling of the banknote can be set for each denomination and whether or not the serial number of the banknote can be read. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be further improved.

  In addition, the reject stacker 12 (an example of a reject unit) constitutes a storage unit for storing banknotes, so that the specific banknote (reject ticket) can be stored in the storage unit.

  Further, by providing the setting unit 51 configured to set the specific currency determination condition, the specific currency determination condition can be arbitrarily set. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be further improved.

[Business performed using the banknote processing device]
The banknote handling apparatus 1 is used when various operations are performed, for example, in a teller counter of a bank or a cash center.

Specifically, the setting unit 51 may be configured to set (or change) the business information according to the operation given to the operation unit 40 (that is, the information input to the operation unit 40).

  The setting unit 51 may be configured to set the specific currency determination condition for each business, the true / false identification setting condition, and the denomination identification setting condition. For example, the setting unit 51 sets the business specific currency determination condition, the true / false identification setting condition, and the denomination identification setting condition according to the operation given to the operation unit 40 (that is, the information input to the operation unit 40). It may be configured to (or change).

  The business-specific specific currency determination condition indicates in which business the banknote (currency) corresponding to which damage factor should correspond to a predetermined specific banknote (specific currency). The genuine / counterfeit identification setting condition indicates in which work the true / false identification should be performed. The denomination identification setting condition indicates in which work the identification level for denomination identification should be set to the normal level or the mitigation level. Specifically, the setting unit 51 has a control table showing the business specific currency determination conditions, the true / false identification setting conditions, and the denomination type setting conditions as shown in FIG.

  In the control table (business specific currency determination condition) shown in FIG. 9, whether the banknote should correspond to the specific banknote (reject banknote in this example) for each business and each damage factor is determined to correspond to the specific banknote. It indicates whether it should be judged (should it be judged that it corresponds to an unfit note). In the example of FIG. 9, “RJ” indicates a reject banknote (an example of a specific banknote). For example, in the example of FIG. 9, a banknote whose business corresponds to “payout” and whose fitness factor corresponds to “hole loss” is defined as “a banknote that should be determined to correspond to a specific unfit note (reject note)”, Is a "deposit" and a banknote with a loss factor of "hole loss" is a banknote that should be determined to be an "unfit note" (a banknote that should not be determined to be a specific unfit note (reject note)) ) ”.

  The control table (true / false identification determination condition) shown in FIG. 9 indicates whether or not true / false identification should be performed for each task. Note that in the example of FIG. 9, a circle indicates that true / false identification should be performed in the business, and a hyphen indicates that true / false identification should not be performed in the business.

  The control table (denomination identification determination condition) shown in FIG. 9 indicates whether the identification level of denomination identification should be set to the normal level or the relaxation level for each job. In the example of FIG. 9, a circle indicates that the identification level of denomination identification should be set to a normal level in the business, and a triangle indicates that the identification level of denomination identification is relaxed in the operation. Indicates that the level should be set.

<Modification of control unit>

[Effects of Modified Example of Banknote Processing Device]
As described above, the business-specific specific currency determination condition indicating which banknote corresponding to which fitness factor corresponds to which specific banknote in which business should be determined, and the business information set in the setting unit 51. By determining whether or not the banknote corresponds to the specific banknote based on (information indicating the work performed by using the banknote processing device) and the damage factor of the banknote identified by the identifying unit 21, It is possible to set handling of bills (whether or not to treat bills as specific bills that are determined in advance) for each business and for each cause of damage. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be improved.

  In addition, based on the genuine / counterfeit identification setting condition indicating which business should perform the genuine / counterfeit identification, and the business information (information indicating the business performed using the banknote processing device) set in the setting unit 51. By setting the necessity of the true / false identification in the identification unit 21, the necessity of the true / false identification can be set for each business. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be improved.

  Further, the denomination identification determination condition indicating which of the normal level and the relaxation level the denomination identification level should be set in, and the business information set in the setting unit 51 (performed using the banknote processing device. By setting the identification level of the denomination identification in the identification unit 21 to either the normal level or the relaxation level based on the information indicating the operation), the identification level of the denomination identification can be set for each operation. Thereby, the degree of freedom in setting the handling of banknotes can be improved.

  Further, by providing the setting unit 51 configured to set the business-specific specific currency determination condition, the true / false identification setting condition, and the denomination identification setting condition, the business-specific specific currency determination condition and the true / false identification setting condition can be obtained. The denomination identification setting conditions can be set arbitrarily.

  In addition, when both the specific currency determination condition (the condition including the first determination condition, the second determination condition, and the third determination condition) and the specific currency determination condition for each task are set, the control unit 53 determines that the specific currency determination condition. It is preferable that the transport unit 30 controls the transport of the banknotes by giving priority to the business specific currency determination condition. For example, the control unit 53 indicates that the determination result based on the business-specific specific currency determination condition indicates that the determination target banknote corresponds to an unfit banknote, while the determination result based on the specific currency determination condition is the determination target banknote. When it is indicated that the bill corresponds to a specific bill, it is preferable that the bill to be determined is determined to correspond to an unfit bill. When the business information is not set in the setting unit 51, the control unit 53 controls the conveyance of the bill by the conveyance unit 30 based on the specific currency determination condition.
