Description

本発明は、貨幣の出金が可能な現金処理機に関する。   The present invention relates to a cash processor capable of dispensing money.

現金処理機において貨幣を出金口に出金すると、この出金口の貨幣を操作者が取り出すことになるが、操作者が全ての貨幣を取り切れずに一部を出金口に残してしまう場合がある。特に貨幣が硬貨の場合、出金口に貨幣が残留してもセンサで検知できない場合がある。このため、現金処理機側で受け取り確認操作を誘導して、出金口内を確認させ、センサで受け取り確認行為を認識した場合に、受け取り動作を終了とするものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   When money is dispensed to the outlet in the cash processing machine, the operator takes out the money at the outlet but the operator can not take out all the money and leaves a part at the outlet. There are times when In particular, when money is a coin, even if money remains in the outlet, it may not be detected by the sensor. For this reason, there is a case where the receiving operation is terminated when the cash handling machine side guides the receipt confirmation operation to make the inside of the dispensing port be confirmed and the sensor recognizes the receipt confirmation action (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).

また、残留貨幣が発光素子と受光素子からなるセンサで検知できない場合の対策として、貨幣出金口近辺の画像を取得して、画像解析により貨幣の残留を検出する技術がある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   In addition, as a measure when residual money can not be detected by a sensor consisting of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, there is a technology for acquiring an image in the vicinity of a money dispensing opening and detecting residual money by image analysis (for example, patent document 2).

特開２００９−１６９６２６号公報JP, 2009-169626, A 特許第５６３３３３２号公報Patent No. 5633332

特許文献１に記載のものでは、貨幣が出金口に残っていない場合でも残留を再確認させるため、操作者に無駄な操作をさせてしまう。特許文献２に記載のものでは、操作者に無駄な操作をさせることはないものの、画像解析によって貨幣の残留を検出しても、操作者が既にいない場合等には残留金額が不明金となってしまう可能性がある。   In the case described in Patent Document 1, even when money is not left at the outlet, the operator is made to perform unnecessary operations in order to reconfirm the remaining. Although the operator described in Patent Document 2 does not cause the operator to perform a useless operation, the residual amount of money becomes unknown even if the operator has not already detected the residual of money by image analysis. There is a possibility of

したがって、本発明は、残留貨幣の金額が確認可能となる現金処理機の提供を目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cash processor in which the amount of residual money can be confirmed.

現金処理機１０には、図２，図３に示すように、硬貨出金口２２の上方位置に硬貨出金口２２を撮像する手段であるＣＣＤカメラ３５（撮像手段）が設置されている。ＣＣＤカメラ３５は、図３に示すように凹状部２０の天井面に取り付けられている。現金処理機１０には、図４に示すようにこれを制御する処理機制御部４０（残留金額特定手段）が設けられている。処理機制御部４０は、現金処理機１０のＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データうち硬貨出金口２２の範囲内の撮像データを解析する。   In the cash handling machine 10, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a CCD camera 35 (imaging means), which is a means for imaging the coin outlet 22 above the coin outlet 22, is installed. The CCD camera 35 is attached to the ceiling surface of the concave portion 20 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the cash handling machine 10 is provided with a handling machine control unit 40 (remaining amount specifying means) for controlling the cash handling machine 10. The processor control unit 40 analyzes the imaging data within the range of the coin outlet 22 among the imaging data of the CCD camera 35 of the cash processing machine 10.

現金処理機１０は、上位機としてのＰＯＳレジ５０に接続されて売上金の入金および釣銭の出金等を行うものである。図示は略すが、図１に示す現金処理機１０の上面１１Ｂにおける硬貨入金口２１、処理機表示部２７および紙幣リジェクト口３２よりも後側範囲にＰＯＳレジ５０が設置されることになる。   The cash processing machine 10 is connected to the POS cash register 50 as a high-end machine to deposit sales money and dispense change. Although not shown, the POS cash register 50 is installed in a range rearward of the coin depositing port 21, the processing machine display portion 27, and the bill reject port 32 on the top surface 11B of the cash processing machine 10 shown in FIG.

図４に示すように、ＰＯＳレジ５０は、操作者により操作入力がなされるレジ操作部６０と、操作者に対して表示を行うレジ表示部６１（報知手段）と、商品のバーコードを読み取るバーコード読取部６２と、ＩＤカードが走査されるとＩＤ情報を読み取るカード読取部６３と、商品の料金を表示させる料金表示部６４と、用紙に印字してレシートを発行するレシート印字部６５とを有している。ＰＯＳレジ５０は、これらを制御するとともに現金処理機１０の処理機制御部４０と通信して現金処理機１０を制御するレジ制御部６６を有している。   As shown in FIG. 4, the POS cash register 50 reads a bar code of a product, a cash register operation section 60 on which an operation is input by the operator, a cash register display section 61 (notification means) for displaying to the operator A bar code reader 62, a card reader 63 for reading ID information when the ID card is scanned, a charge display 64 for displaying the charge of the product, and a receipt printing unit 65 for printing on paper and issuing a receipt have. The POS cash register 50 has a cash register control unit 66 that controls the cash processing machine 10 by controlling them and communicating with the processing machine control unit 40 of the cash handling machine 10.

処理機制御部４０は、レジ制御部６６からの指令に基づいて釣銭等の出金処理を行う場合、レジ制御部６６からの指令に基づく金種および枚数の硬貨を硬貨入出金装置部１５によって硬貨出金口２２に繰り出させることになり、レジ制御部６６からの指令に基づく金種および枚数の紙幣を紙幣入出金装置部１６によって紙幣入金口３１に繰り出させることになる。   The processing machine control unit 40 uses the coin depositing / dispensing device unit 15 to make coins of the denomination and the number based on the instruction from the registration control unit 66 when the dispensing control process such as change is performed based on the instruction from the registration control unit 66. The coin dispensing port 22 will be fed out, and the banknotes of denomination and number based on the command from the registration control unit 66 will be fed out to the bill receiving opening 31 by the bill depositing / dispensing apparatus unit 16.

このような出金処理時に、処理機制御部４０は、常時ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データを解析しており、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに基づいて硬貨出金口２２に硬貨が出金されたか否かを監視している。つまり、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに硬貨を検出できない状態が維持されていると硬貨出金口２２に硬貨が出金されていないと判断し、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに硬貨を検出できない状態から硬貨を検出できる状態になると、硬貨が出金されたと判断する。   At the time of such dispensing processing, the processing machine control unit 40 constantly analyzes the imaging data of the CCD camera 35, and based on the imaging data of the CCD camera 35, whether or not the coin is dispensed to the coin dispensing port 22 Is monitoring. That is, if it is determined that the coin can not be detected in the image pickup data of the CCD camera 35 and the coin is not dispensed to the coin outlet 22 and the coin can not be detected in the image pickup data of the CCD camera 35 When the coin can be detected, it is determined that the coin has been dispensed.

硬貨が出金されたと判断すると、処理機制御部４０は、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに基づいて、硬貨出金口２２に出金された硬貨の受け取り行為があったか否かを監視する状態になる。つまり、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに操作者の手を検出できる状態になった後、手を検出できない状態になると、硬貨出金口２２に出金された硬貨の操作者による受け取り行為があったと判定する（つまり受け取り行為を認識する）。これ以外の状態では、受け取り行為はなかったと判定する（つまり、受け取り行為を認識しない）。   If it is determined that the coin has been dispensed, the processor control unit 40 monitors whether or not there is an act of receiving the coin dispensed at the coin outlet 22 based on the image data of the CCD camera 35. . That is, after the operator's hand can be detected in the imaging data of the CCD camera 35, if the hand can not be detected, the operator of the coin dispensed at the coin outlet 22 has received the act of receiving the coin Determine (ie, recognize the act of receiving). In any other state, it is determined that there is no act of receiving (ie, it does not recognize the act of receiving).

受け取り行為を認識すると、処理機制御部４０は、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに基づいて、硬貨出金口２２に残留貨幣である残留硬貨が存在するか否かを判定する状態となる。つまり、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに硬貨を検出できない状態であると硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨がないと判定し、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに硬貨を検出できる状態であると、残留硬貨があると判定する。   When the receiving operation is recognized, the processor control unit 40 determines whether the residual coin which is the residual money is present in the coin outlet 22 based on the imaging data of the CCD camera 35. That is, if it is determined that the coin can not be detected in the image pickup data of the CCD camera 35 that there is no residual coin in the coin outlet 22, and if the coin can be detected in the image pickup data of the CCD camera 35, the residual coin is Determine that there is.

硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨がないと判定すると、処理機制御部４０は、レジ制御部６６に指令許可信号を出力し、その結果、レジ制御部６６が次の指令の出力が可能な状態になる。言い換えれば、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨がないと判定すると、処理機制御部４０は、レジ制御部６６からの次の指令に基づく硬貨の硬貨入出金装置部１５による硬貨出金口２２への出金を許容する状態になる。   If it is determined that there is no remaining coin in the coin dispensing port 22, the processing machine control unit 40 outputs a command permission signal to the registration control unit 66, and as a result, the registration control unit 66 can output the next command. become. In other words, when it is determined that there are no remaining coins in the coin outlet 22, the processing machine control unit 40 sends the coin to the coin outlet 22 by the coin depositing / dispensing device unit 15 based on the next command from the registration control unit 66. It will be in the state which permits the withdrawal of money.

硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨があると判定すると、処理機制御部４０は、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに基づいて、硬貨出金口２２にある残留硬貨の金種別の枚数から合計の残留金額を特定して今回の出金処理の識別情報に関連付けて記憶する。つまり、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データ内に検出できるすべての残留硬貨について外径および模様からそれぞれの金種を特定し、これらの合計金額を特定して記憶する。例えば、外径および模様から、撮像データ内に残留硬貨として１円１枚と５円１枚とを検出した場合には、これらの合計金額の６円を今回の出金処理の識別情報に関連付けて記憶する。   If it is determined that there is a residual coin in the coin outlet 22, the processor control unit 40 determines the total remaining amount from the number of denominations of residual coins in the coin outlet 22 based on the imaging data of the CCD camera 35. Are stored in association with the identification information of the current withdrawal process. That is, for all the remaining coins that can be detected in the imaging data of the CCD camera 35, the respective denominations are specified from the outer diameter and the pattern, and the total amount of money is specified and stored. For example, when 1 yen and 1 yen are detected as residual coins in the imaging data from the outer diameter and the pattern, 6 yen of the total amount of these is associated with the identification information of the current dispensing process. To memorize.

また、処理機制御部４０は、このように残留硬貨の合計金額を特定すると、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在することと、この残留硬貨の合計金額とを、処理機表示部２７により操作者に向けて報知させるとともに、レジ制御部６６に出力してＰＯＳレジ５０のレジ表示部６１により操作者に向け報知させる。   Further, when the processor control unit 40 specifies the total amount of residual coins in this manner, the presence of the residual coin in the coin outlet 22 and the total amount of the residual coins are displayed by the processor display portion 27. The notification is sent to the operator, and is output to the registration control unit 66 to be notified to the operator by the registration display unit 61 of the POS register 50.

さらに、処理機制御部４０は、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨があると判定すると、レジ制御部６６に指令許可信号を出力することはなく、その結果、レジ制御部６６は次の指令の出力が可能な状態にならない。言い換えれば、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在する場合、処理機制御部４０は、次のレジ制御部６６からの指令に基づく硬貨の硬貨入出金装置部１５による硬貨出金口２２への出金を規制する状態になる。   Furthermore, when the processing machine control unit 40 determines that there is a residual coin in the coin outlet 22, the command permission signal is not output to the registration control unit 66. As a result, the registration control unit 66 outputs the next command. It will not be possible to output. In other words, when there are residual coins in the coin dispensing port 22, the processing machine control unit 40 sends the coin to the coin dispensing port 22 by the coin depositing / dispensing device unit 15 based on the command from the next registration control unit 66. It will be in the state which regulates withdrawal.

処理機制御部４０は、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨があると判定した後、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに硬貨を検出できない状態つまり硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨を検出しない状態になると、レジ制御部６６に指令許可信号を出力することになり、次のレジ制御部６６からの指令に基づく硬貨の硬貨入出金装置部１５による硬貨出金口２２への出金を許容する状態になる。つまり、処理機制御部４０は、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在する場合に、硬貨出金口２２に残留貨幣が検出されなくなるまで、硬貨出金口２２への硬貨の出金を規制する。   After determining that there is a residual coin in the coin outlet 22, the processor control unit 40 can not detect a coin in the image data of the CCD camera 35, that is, a state in which no residual coin is detected in the coin outlet 22. The command permission signal is output to the registration control unit 66, and the coin deposit / withdrawal device unit 15 based on the next instruction from the registration control unit 66 is allowed to dispense the coin to the coin outlet 22. . That is, when residual coin is present at the coin outlet 22, the processor control unit 40 regulates the withdrawal of coins to the coin outlet 22 until no residual money is detected at the coin outlet 22. Do.

ここで、処理機制御部４０は、上記したように、硬貨出金口２２にある残留硬貨の金種別の枚数から合計金額を特定して、この残留硬貨の合計金額を、これが生じた出金処理の識別情報に関連付けて記憶することになるが、出金処理の識別情報は、レジ制御部６６が設定する取引識別情報と関連している。このため、操作者が、ＰＯＳレジ５０のレシート印字部６５が発行するレシートに記載された取引識別情報を、読出モードにおいて現金処理機１０の処理機操作部２６あるいはＰＯＳレジ５０のレジ操作部６０に入力することで、処理機制御部４０は、入力された取引識別情報に関連する出金処理の残留硬貨の合計金額を読み出して、処理機表示部２７に表示させるとともに、レジ制御部６６に出力してＰＯＳレジ５０のレジ表示部６１に表示させる。これにより、例えば、釣銭を受け取った顧客が、後で釣銭不足を訴えた場合に、レシートに記載された取引識別情報を入力すれば、入力された取引識別情報の残留硬貨の合計金額を読み出し表示させて確認することができる。   Here, as described above, the processor control unit 40 specifies the total amount from the number of denominations of residual coins in the coin outlet 22 and determines the total amount of the residual coins as the amount of withdrawal. Although the process identification information is stored in association with the process identification information, the payment process identification information is associated with the transaction identification information set by the cash register control unit 66. For this reason, the transaction identification information described in the receipt issued by the receipt printing unit 65 of the POS register 50 by the operator is displayed in the reading mode and the cashier operating unit 60 of the cash processing machine 10 or the cash register operating unit 60 of the POS register 50. The processor control unit 40 reads out the total amount of residual coins of the withdrawal process related to the input transaction identification information, and causes the processor display unit 27 to display the total amount, and causes the cash register control unit 66 to The output is made to be displayed on the cash register display portion 61 of the POS cash register 50. Thus, for example, if the customer who received the change later complains about the lack of change, if the transaction identification information described in the receipt is input, the total amount of remaining coins of the input transaction identification information is read out and displayed. You can check it.

以上に述べた本実施形態によれば、硬貨出金口２２への硬貨の出金後、処理機制御部４０が、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに基づいて硬貨出金口２２に出金された硬貨の受け取り行為を認識すると、ＣＣＤカメラ３５の撮像データに基づいて、硬貨出金口２２に残留貨幣が存在するか否かを判定し、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在する場合に当該残留硬貨の残留金額を特定して記憶する。したがって、処理機制御部４０の記憶内容を読み出すことによって残留貨幣の金額が確認可能となる。しかも、撮像データに基づいて硬貨の受け取り行為を認識することから、硬貨出金口２２にある硬貨が取り忘れの残留硬貨であることを素早く正確に判定することができる。   According to the embodiment described above, after the coin is dispensed to the coin outlet 22, the processor control unit 40 is dispensed to the coin outlet 22 based on the imaging data of the CCD camera 35. When the coin receiving operation is recognized, it is determined whether or not there is residual money in the coin outlet 22 based on the imaging data of the CCD camera 35, and in the case where there are residual coins in the coin outlet 22 Identify and store the remaining amount of residual coins. Therefore, the amount of residual money can be confirmed by reading out the stored contents of the processor control unit 40. Moreover, since the coin receiving operation is recognized on the basis of the imaging data, it can be quickly and accurately determined that the coin in the coin outlet 22 is a leftover unrecognizable coin.

また、処理機制御部４０は、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在する場合に当該残留硬貨の残留金額を特定すると、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在することと当該残留硬貨の残留金額とを処理機表示部２７およびレジ表示部６１により報知させるため、これらの報知内容を操作者に認識させることができる。   In addition, when the residual coin is present in the coin outlet 22 when the residual amount of the residual coin is specified, the processor control unit 40 indicates that the residual coin is present in the coin outlet 22 and the residual coin remains. Since the processor display unit 27 and the register display unit 61 notify of the amount of money, the content of the notification can be recognized by the operator.

また、処理機制御部４０は、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が存在する場合に、硬貨出金口２２に残留硬貨が検出されなくなるまで、硬貨出金口２２への貨幣の出金を規制するため、残留硬貨が後に出金される貨幣と混ざってしまうことを抑制できる。   In addition, when residual coin is present in the coin outlet 22, the processor control unit 40 regulates the withdrawal of money to the coin outlet 22 until no residual coin is detected in the coin outlet 22. Therefore, it is possible to suppress that the remaining coins are mixed with the money to be dispensed later.

ここで、残留硬貨の合計金額の正確性を高めるために、複数台のＣＣＤカメラで硬貨出金口２２を撮像し、これらの撮像データを総合的に解析して残留硬貨の合計金額を特定しても良い。その場合、硬貨出金口２２の上方に硬貨出金口２２に対する撮像角度を異ならせて複数台のＣＣＤカメラを設置しても良い。また、上記したＣＣＤカメラ３５あるいは硬貨出金口２２の上方の複数台のＣＣＤカメラに加えて、硬貨出金口２２を透光性の部材で形成し、硬貨出金口２２の下側に硬貨出金口２２を下方から撮像するＣＣＤカメラを追加したり、さらには硬貨出金口２２の側方にも硬貨出金口２２を側方から撮像するＣＣＤカメラを追加して、これらのＣＣＤカメラの撮像データを総合的に解析して残留硬貨の残留金額を特定しても良い。   Here, in order to improve the accuracy of the total amount of residual coins, the coin outlet 22 is imaged by a plurality of CCD cameras, and these imaging data are comprehensively analyzed to specify the total amount of residual coins. It is good. In that case, a plurality of CCD cameras may be installed above the coin dispensing port 22 with different imaging angles with respect to the coin dispensing port 22. Further, in addition to the above-described CCD camera 35 or a plurality of CCD cameras above the coin outlet 22, the coin outlet 22 is formed of a translucent member, and a coin is provided below the coin outlet 22. CCD cameras that image the dispensing port 22 from below are added, or CCD cameras that image the coin dispensing port 22 from the side are also added to the sides of the coin dispensing port 22 The imaging data of may be comprehensively analyzed to specify the remaining amount of the remaining coin.

また、硬貨出金口２２を撮像するＣＣＤカメラを現金処理機１０に取り付ける場合に、硬貨出金口２２の上方位置に配置されるように支柱等で支持しても良い。また、硬貨出金口２２を撮像するＣＣＤカメラを現金処理機１０に取り付けるのではなく、現金処理機１０とは別の位置に設けても良い。例えば、ＣＣＤカメラを、現金処理機１０のＣＣＤカメラを除く現金処理機本体の設置場所の天井面に設置することができる。   When a CCD camera for imaging the coin outlet 22 is attached to the cash handling machine 10, it may be supported by a support or the like so as to be disposed above the coin outlet 22. Further, a CCD camera for imaging the coin outlet 22 may not be attached to the cash handling machine 10, but may be provided at a position different from the cash handling machine 10. For example, a CCD camera can be installed on the ceiling surface of the installation place of the cash processing machine main body except the CCD camera of the cash processing machine 10.

また、紙幣出金口に貨幣である紙幣をバラした状態で放出する場合に、紙幣出金口を撮像するＣＣＤカメラを設けて、このＣＣＤカメラの撮像データに基づいて、上記と同様に、紙幣出金口に出金された紙幣の受け取り行為を認識すると、紙幣出金口に残留紙幣が存在するか否かを判定し、紙幣出金口に残留紙幣が存在する場合に当該残留紙幣の残留金額を特定して記憶するようにすることができる。   In addition, in the case of discharging a bill in the form of money into a bill dispensing port, a CCD camera for capturing an image of the bill dispensing port is provided, and based on the imaging data of this CCD camera Recognizing the receiving action of the bill dispensed to the dispensing port, it is determined whether or not there is a residual bill in the bill dispensing port, and if there is a residual bill in the bill dispensing port, the residual bill remains The amount of money can be identified and stored.

ＰＯＳレジ５０に接続されて使用される現金処理機１０以外の現金処理機であっても出金口に貨幣を出金可能なものであれば、本発明を適用できる。   The present invention can be applied to any cash handling machine other than the cash handling machine 10 used by being connected to the POS cash register 50 as long as money can be dispensed at the dispensing port.
