Description

媒体管理システム及び媒体処理装置Medium management system and medium processing apparatus
　本開示の技術は媒体管理システム及び媒体処理装置に関し、例えば利用者に要求された紙幣等の媒体を繰り出して所望の取引を行う現金自動預払機（ＡＴＭ：Automatic Teller Machine）に適用して好適なものである。 The technology of the present disclosure relates to a medium management system and a medium processing apparatus, and is suitable for application to, for example, an automatic teller machine (ATM) that pays out a medium such as a bill requested by a user and performs a desired transaction. Is.
　従来、金融機関等で使用される現金自動預払機等においては、利用者との取引内容に応じて、例えば利用者に紙幣や硬貨等の現金を入金させ、また利用者へ現金を出金するものが広く普及している。 Conventionally, in an automatic teller machine or the like used in a financial institution or the like, according to the transaction contents with the user, for example, the user deposits cash such as banknotes and coins, and withdraws cash to the user. Things are widespread.
　現金自動預払機としては、例えば利用者との間で紙幣の受け渡しを行う入出金部と、紙幣を搬送する搬送部と、投入された紙幣を鑑別する鑑別部と、投入された紙幣を一時的に保留する一時保留部と、紙幣を金種ごとに格納する紙幣収納庫と、全体を制御する制御部等とを有するものが提案されている。 As an automatic teller machine, for example, a deposit / withdrawal unit that delivers banknotes to / from a user, a transport unit that transports banknotes, a discrimination unit that discriminates inserted banknotes, and temporarily inserts banknotes Have been proposed that have a temporary holding section for holding the banknote, a banknote storage for storing banknotes for each denomination, a control section for controlling the whole, and the like.
　現金自動預払機は、例えば入金取引において、利用者により入出金部に投入された紙幣を１枚ずつに分離して取り込み、搬送部により鑑別部へ搬送して鑑別させ、その鑑別結果を基に制御部によって搬送先を決定した上で一時保留部に収納させる。その後現金自動預払機は、一時保留部に収納している紙幣をそれぞれ決定された搬送先へ搬送して収納させる。 An automatic teller machine, for example, in a deposit transaction, separates and loads banknotes inserted into a deposit / withdrawal unit by a user one by one, conveys them to a discrimination unit by a transport unit, and makes a discrimination, based on the discrimination result The transporting destination is determined by the control unit and then stored in the temporary holding unit. Thereafter, the automatic teller machine transports and stores the banknotes stored in the temporary storage unit to the determined transport destinations.
　ところで各紙幣には、一意の識別符号である記番号がそれぞれ付されている。この記番号は、例えば複数桁の英文字及び数字の組み合わせにより構成される。またこの記番号は、特定の桁により、紙幣が発行された時期を特定することができる場合がある。 By the way, each banknote is given a serial number which is a unique identification code. This serial number is composed of, for example, a combination of English letters and numbers of a plurality of digits. Moreover, this serial number may be able to specify the time when the banknote was issued by a specific digit.
　一方、紙幣は一般に紙で構成されており、市場で流通する過程において、折り曲げられる等して様々に取り扱われ、損傷の程度が高まっていく。このため金融機関等では、破損や現金自動預払機における搬送異常等を未然に防ぐ観点から、損傷の程度がある程度以上に高い紙幣を回収する場合がある。 On the other hand, banknotes are generally made of paper and are handled in various ways, such as being folded, in the process of distribution in the market, and the degree of damage increases. For this reason, a financial institution or the like sometimes collects banknotes having a degree of damage higher than a certain level from the viewpoint of preventing damage or abnormal conveyance in an automatic teller machine.
　そこで現金自動預払機のなかには、紙幣の発行時期が表された記番号を基に、発行後の経過期間が所定の閾値を超える紙幣を、損傷の程度が高まったものと見なし、回収するものがある。例えば、現金自動預払機として、回収対象となる紙幣の記番号を回収記番号リスト等により予め記憶しておき、入金取引において入金された紙幣の記番号を鑑別部により読み取り、読み取った記番号が回収記番号リストに記載されていれば、当該紙幣を他の紙幣と区別して収納するものが提案されている（例えば、特開２０１３－１６４６７９号公報参照）。 Thus, some automatic teller machines collect banknotes whose elapsed time after issuance exceeds a predetermined threshold based on the serial number that indicates the issuance time of the banknotes, as if the degree of damage has increased, and collect them. is there. For example, as an automatic teller machine, serial numbers of banknotes to be collected are stored in advance in a collection serial number list, etc., and serial numbers of banknotes deposited in a deposit transaction are read by a discrimination unit. As long as it is described in the collection serial number list, there has been proposed one in which the banknote is stored separately from other banknotes (see, for example, JP 2013-164679 A).
　ところで、個々の紙幣における流通経過は様々である。例えば、長期間保管されていた紙幣は、発行後に十分な期間が経過していたとしても、損傷の程度が小さく、回収する必要性が低いと言える。 By the way, the distribution process of individual banknotes varies. For example, banknotes that have been stored for a long period of time can be said to be less damaged and less likely to be collected even if a sufficient period of time has passed after issuance.
　しかしながら、上述した構成の現金自動預払機では、記番号から識別できる発行後の経過期間を基に紙幣を回収するか否かを判定する。このため現金自動預払機は、損傷の程度が小さく市場での流通が十分に可能な紙幣、すなわち回収する必要性が低い紙幣であっても、損傷の程度が大きいと見なして回収してしまう、という問題があった。 However, in the automatic teller machine having the above-described configuration, it is determined whether or not to collect the banknote based on the elapsed period after issuance that can be identified from the serial number. For this reason, the automatic teller machine recovers even if it is a banknote that can be distributed in the market with a small degree of damage, i.e., a banknote that is not necessary to be collected, with a high degree of damage. There was a problem.
　本発明の一つの実施形態は、以上の点を考慮してなされたもので、媒体の損傷の程度を適切に判断できる媒体管理システム及び媒体処理装置を提案しようとするものである。 One embodiment of the present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and intends to propose a medium management system and a medium processing apparatus that can appropriately determine the degree of damage to a medium.
　かかる課題を解決するため本発明の第１の態様に係る媒体管理システムにおいては、一意の識別符号が付された媒体を処理する媒体処理装置と、当該媒体処理装置と通信する管理装置とを有する媒体管理システムであって、媒体処理装置には、媒体から識別符号を含む識別情報を取得する取得部を設け、媒体処理装置又は管理装置の少なくとも一方には、識別情報から識別符号を認識する認識部を設け、管理装置には、認識部により認識された識別符号を基に、媒体が媒体処理装置において取り扱われた回数である取扱回数を計数する計数部と、媒体の識別符号と対応付けて取扱回数を記憶する記憶部とを設けるようにした。 In order to solve this problem, the medium management system according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a medium processing apparatus that processes a medium with a unique identification code, and a management apparatus that communicates with the medium processing apparatus. In the medium management system, the medium processing device is provided with an acquisition unit that acquires identification information including the identification code from the medium, and at least one of the medium processing device and the management device recognizes the identification code from the identification information. The management device is associated with the medium identification code and a counting unit that counts the number of times the medium has been handled in the medium processing device based on the identification code recognized by the recognition unit. A storage unit for storing the number of times of handling is provided.
　また、本発明の第１の態様に係る媒体処理装置においては、一意の識別符号が付された媒体から当該識別符号を含む識別情報を取得する取得部と、識別情報から識別符号を認識する認識部と、認識部により認識された識別符号を基に、媒体が取り扱われた回数である取扱回数を計数する計数部と、媒体の識別符号と対応付けて取扱回数を記憶する記憶部とを設けるようにした。 In the medium processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, an acquisition unit that acquires identification information including the identification code from a medium with a unique identification code, and recognition that recognizes the identification code from the identification information A counting unit that counts the number of times the medium has been handled based on the identification code recognized by the recognition unit, and a storage unit that stores the number of times of handling in association with the identification code of the medium I did it.
　本発明の第１の態様に係る媒体処理装置では、識別符号により媒体を個別に特定した上で、各媒体が取り扱われた回数を表す取扱回数をそれぞれ計数し記憶しておくことで、この取扱回数の多さを基に、当該媒体に生じる損傷の大きさを擬似的に把握することができる。 In the medium processing apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the medium is individually identified by the identification code, and the number of times of handling representing the number of times each medium is handled is counted and stored. Based on the large number of times, the magnitude of the damage generated on the medium can be grasped in a pseudo manner.
　本発明の一つの実施形態によれば、媒体の個別の取扱回数を計数することで、媒体の損傷の程度を適切に判断できる媒体管理システム及び媒体処理装置を実現できる。 According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to realize a medium management system and a medium processing apparatus that can appropriately determine the degree of damage to a medium by counting the number of individual handlings of the medium.

The communication processing unit 39 transmits / receives various information to / from the banknote management device 2 via the main control unit 19 and the communication line 4.
　一方、紙幣管理装置２は、一般的なコンピュータ装置と同様に、全体を制御する管理制御部４１と、種々の情報を記憶する管理記憶部４２とを有している。管理制御部４１は、紙幣制御部２１と同様、図示しないＣＰＵを中心に構成されており、所定のプログラムを実行することにより、取扱回数管理処理等の種々の処理を行う。 On the other hand, the banknote management device 2 has a management control unit 41 that controls the whole and a management storage unit 42 that stores various types of information, like a general computer device. Similar to the bill control unit 21, the management control unit 41 is configured around a CPU (not shown), and performs various processes such as a handling number management process by executing a predetermined program.
　管理記憶部４２は、紙幣に関する情報を格納した取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１を記憶している。取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１は、図６に示すように、紙幣の記番号を格納する記番号欄及び取扱回数を格納する取扱回数欄を有している。 The management storage unit 42 stores a handling number management table T1 in which information on banknotes is stored. As shown in FIG. 6, the handling frequency management table T1 has a serial number column for storing banknote serial numbers and a handling frequency column for storing the handling frequency.
　この取扱回数は、各紙幣が紙幣管理システム１の各現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた取扱回数、具体的には各現金自動預払機３の入金処理において入金された頻度の積算値である。すなわち取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１は、各紙幣の記番号と対応付けることで紙幣を個別に特定しながら、現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた回数を管理している。因みに管理記憶部４２には、紙幣の金種毎に取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１が設けられている。 The number of times of handling is an integrated value of the number of times each banknote is handled in each automatic teller machine 3 of the banknote management system 1, specifically, the frequency of depositing in the depositing process of each automatic teller machine 3. That is, the handling frequency management table T1 manages the number of times handled by the automatic teller machine 3 while individually identifying the banknotes by associating them with the serial numbers of the banknotes. Incidentally, the management memory | storage part 42 is provided with the handling frequency management table T1 for every money type of a banknote.
　例えば取扱回数の値が比較的小さいことは、各現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた回数が少なく、市場における流通の頻度が低いことを意味するため、紙幣の損傷の程度が小さいと考えられる。反対に、取扱回数の値が比較的大きいことは、各現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた回数が多く、市場における流通の頻度が高いことを意味するため、紙幣の損傷の程度が大きいと考えられる。 For example, a relatively small value of the number of times of handling means that the number of times handled by each automatic teller machine 3 is small and the frequency of circulation in the market is low, so the degree of damage of the banknote is considered to be small. On the other hand, since the value of the number of times of handling is relatively large, it means that the number of times handled by each automatic teller machine 3 is large and the frequency of distribution in the market is high. It is done.
　このため取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１は、現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた回数を記番号と対応付けて管理することで、各紙幣における損傷の程度を間接的に管理することになる。 Therefore, the handling number management table T1 indirectly manages the degree of damage in each bill by managing the number of times handled in the automatic teller machine 3 in association with the serial number.
　また管理制御部４１は、所定のプログラムを実行することにより、図４に示したように、照合部５１、登録部５２、計数部５３、判定部５５及び通信処理部５９といった複数の機能ブロックを形成する。 In addition, the management control unit 41 executes a predetermined program so that a plurality of functional blocks such as a collation unit 51, a registration unit 52, a counting unit 53, a determination unit 55, and a communication processing unit 59 are provided as shown in FIG. Form.
　通信処理部５９は、通信回線４を介して紙幣管理装置２との間で種々の情報を送受信する。具体的に通信処理部５９は、例えば紙幣管理装置２から紙幣の金種及び記番号を取得する。 The communication processing unit 59 transmits / receives various information to / from the banknote management device 2 via the communication line 4. Specifically, the communication processing unit 59 acquires the denomination and serial number of the banknote from the banknote management device 2, for example.
　照合部５１は、紙幣管理装置２から取得した記番号（以下これを対象記番号と呼ぶ）と、管理記憶部４２の取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１に記憶されている各記番号とを照合する。登録部５２は、対象記番号が取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１に記憶されていなかった場合、当該取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１に対象記番号を登録する。因みにこのとき対象記番号と対応付けて記憶される取扱回数は「０」となる。 The collation unit 51 collates the serial number acquired from the banknote management device 2 (hereinafter referred to as a target serial number) with each serial number stored in the handling number management table T1 of the management storage unit 42. When the target serial number is not stored in the handling count management table T1, the registration unit 52 registers the target serial number in the handling count management table T1. Incidentally, the number of times of handling stored in association with the target serial number at this time is “0”.
　計数部５３は、対象記番号が付された紙幣が現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた取扱回数を計数する。具体的に計数部５３は、取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１から対象記番号と対応付けられている取扱回数を読み出し、これに値「１」を加算して再び記憶させることにより、この取扱回数を更新する。 The counting unit 53 counts the number of times the banknote with the target serial number is handled in the automatic teller machine 3. Specifically, the counting unit 53 updates the number of times of handling by reading the number of times of handling associated with the target serial number from the number of times of handling management table T1 and adding the value “1” to this and storing it again. .
　判定部５５は、対象記番号と対応付けられた取扱回数、すなわち対象紙幣が現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた回数を、管理記憶部４２に予め記憶している所定の閾値と比較し、当該取扱回数が当該閾値以上であるか否かを判定する。ここで得られた判定結果は、通信処理部５９により、通信回線４を介して現金自動預払機３へ送信される。 The determination unit 55 compares the number of times of handling associated with the target serial number, that is, the number of times that the target banknote is handled in the automatic teller machine 3, with a predetermined threshold value stored in advance in the management storage unit 42, and It is determined whether the number of times of handling is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The determination result obtained here is transmitted to the automatic teller machine 3 through the communication line 4 by the communication processing unit 59.
　このように紙幣管理装置２は、各紙幣が現金自動預払機３により取り扱われた回数を取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１により管理すると共に、この取扱回数が所定の閾値以上であるか否かを判定し、その判定結果を現金自動預払機３へ送信するようになっている。 Thus, the banknote management device 2 manages the number of times each banknote is handled by the automatic teller machine 3 by the handling count management table T1, and determines whether or not the handling count is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. The determination result is transmitted to the automatic teller machine 3.
［１－３．入金処理及び取扱回数管理処理］
　次に、現金自動預払機３において利用者との間で入金取引を行う場合に実行する入金処理について説明する。現金自動預払機３においてこの入金処理を実行する場合、紙幣管理装置２は、後述する管理処理を実行することにより、当該現金自動預払機３と連携するようになっている。 [1-3. Payment processing and handling count management processing]
Next, the payment process performed when performing a payment transaction with the user in the automatic teller machine 3 will be described. When this depositing process is executed in the automatic teller machine 3, the banknote management device 2 is configured to cooperate with the automatic teller machine 3 by executing a management process described later.
　例えば現金自動預払機３は、利用者と取引処理を行い得る状態、いわゆる運用状態にあるとき、操作表示部１６（図２）に所定のメニュー画面（図示せず）を表示した状態で、利用者から各種取引処理を開始する操作指示を待ち受けている。 For example, the automatic teller machine 3 is used in a state where a transaction process can be performed with a user, that is, in a so-called operation state, with a predetermined menu screen (not shown) displayed on the operation display unit 16 (FIG. 2). An operation instruction for starting various transaction processes is awaited by a person.
　現金自動預払機３の主制御部１９は、利用者から入金取引を開始する操作指示を受け付けると、紙幣入出金機２０の紙幣制御部２１に対し入金処理の開始を指示する。これに応じて紙幣制御部２１は、紙幣記憶部２２から所定の入金プログラムを読み出して実行することにより、図７に示す入金処理手順ＲＴ１を開始してステップＳＰ１へ移る。 When the main control unit 19 of the automatic teller machine 3 receives an operation instruction to start a deposit transaction from the user, the main control unit 19 instructs the banknote control unit 21 of the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 20 to start the depositing process. In response to this, the bill control unit 21 reads and executes a predetermined deposit program from the bill storage unit 22, thereby starting the deposit processing procedure RT1 shown in FIG. 7 and proceeds to step SP1.
　ステップＳＰ１において紙幣制御部２１は、入出金部２３のシャッタ２３Ｂを開いて収容器２３Ａ内へ紙幣を投入させる。入出金部２３は、利用者により収容器２３Ａに紙幣が投入された上で、操作表示部１６を介して取込開始の操作指示を受け付けると、シャッタ２３Ｂを閉塞して次のステップＳＰ２へ移る。 In step SP1, the banknote control unit 21 opens the shutter 23B of the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 and inserts banknotes into the container 23A. When the user inserts a bill into the container 23A by the user and receives an operation instruction to start taking in via the operation display unit 16, the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 closes the shutter 23B and proceeds to the next step SP2. .
　ステップＳＰ２において紙幣制御部２１は、入出金部２３の分離部（図示せず）により収容器２３Ａ内から１枚の紙幣（以下これを対象紙幣と呼ぶ）を分離して搬送部２４に受け渡させ、当該搬送部２４により対象紙幣を鑑別部２５へ搬送させて、次のステップＳＰ３へ移る。 In step SP <b> 2, the banknote control unit 21 separates one banknote (hereinafter referred to as a target banknote) from the container 23 </ b> A by the separation unit (not shown) of the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 and delivers it to the transport unit 24. The target bill is transported to the discrimination unit 25 by the transport unit 24, and the process proceeds to the next step SP3.
　ステップＳＰ３において紙幣制御部２１は、鑑別制御部３１（図４）により鑑別部２５を制御して対象紙幣を鑑別させると共に、当該鑑別部２５から鑑別結果及び画像データＧ１（図５）を取得して、次のステップＳＰ４へ移る。ステップＳＰ４において紙幣制御部２１は、画像切出部３２（図４）により、画像データＧ１から記番号を含む部分を切り出して切出画像データＧ２（図５）とし、次のステップＳＰ５へ移る。 In step SP3, the banknote control unit 21 controls the discrimination unit 25 by the discrimination control unit 31 (FIG. 4) to discriminate the target banknote, and obtains the discrimination result and the image data G1 (FIG. 5) from the discrimination unit 25. Then, the process proceeds to the next step SP4. In step SP4, the banknote control unit 21 uses the image cutout unit 32 (FIG. 4) to cut out the portion including the serial number from the image data G1 to obtain cutout image data G2 (FIG. 5), and proceeds to the next step SP5.
　ステップＳＰ５において紙幣制御部２１は、認識部３３（図４）によって切出画像データＧ２に対して文字認識処理を施すことにより、文字列でなる記番号Ｎ（図５）を認識し、次のステップＳＰ６へ移る。ステップＳＰ６において紙幣制御部２１は、通信処理部３９により記番号Ｎを紙幣管理装置へ送信し、次のステップＳＰ７へ移る。 In step SP5, the banknote control unit 21 recognizes the serial number N (FIG. 5) formed of a character string by performing character recognition processing on the cut-out image data G2 by the recognition unit 33 (FIG. 4). Control goes to step SP6. In step SP6, the banknote control unit 21 transmits the serial number N to the banknote management device by the communication processing unit 39, and proceeds to the next step SP7.
　一方、紙幣管理装置２の管理制御部４１は、図８に示す取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ２を開始しており、ステップＳＰ２１において記番号（以下これを対象記番号と呼ぶ）を受信して次のステップＳＰ２２へ移る。ステップＳＰ２２において管理制御部４１は、照合部５１（図４）により、管理記憶部４２に記憶されている取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１（図６）を参照し、登録されている各記番号と対象記番号とを順次照合して、次のステップＳＰ２３へ移る。 On the other hand, the management control part 41 of the banknote management apparatus 2 has started the handling frequency management processing procedure RT2 shown in FIG. 8, receives a serial number (hereinafter referred to as a target serial number) in step SP21, and receives the next number. Control goes to step SP22. In step SP22, the management control unit 41 refers to the handling number management table T1 (FIG. 6) stored in the management storage unit 42 by the collation unit 51 (FIG. 4), and registers each serial number and target description. The numbers are sequentially compared, and the process proceeds to the next step SP23.
　ステップＳＰ２３において管理制御部４１は、照合部５１により、対象記番号が取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１に登録されているか否かを判定する。ここで肯定結果が得られると、管理制御部４１は次のステップＳＰ２４へ移り、照合部５１により取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１から対象記番号と対応付けられた取扱回数を読み出し、次のステップＳＰ２６へ移る。 In step SP23, the management control unit 41 determines whether or not the target serial number is registered in the handling number management table T1 by the matching unit 51. If an affirmative result is obtained here, the management control unit 41 proceeds to the next step SP24, the collation unit 51 reads the number of times of handling associated with the target serial number from the number of times of handling management table T1, and moves to the next step SP26. .
　一方、ステップＳＰ２３において否定結果が得られると、管理制御部４１は次のステップＳＰ２５へ移り、登録部５２（図４）により、取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１に対象記番号を登録すると共にその取扱回数を「０」とし、次のステップＳＰ２６へ移る。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP23, the management control unit 41 proceeds to the next step SP25, and the registration unit 52 (FIG. 4) registers the target serial number in the handling count management table T1 and sets the handling count. “0” is set, and the process proceeds to the next step SP26.
　ステップＳＰ２６において管理制御部４１は、計数部５３（図４）により、取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１に対象記番号と対応付けて登録されている取扱回数に値「１」を加算して更新し、次のステップＳＰ２７へ移る。ステップＳＰ２７において管理制御部４１は、判定部５５（図４）により、対象記番号と対応付けられた取扱回数、すなわち更新後の取扱回数を、管理記憶部４２に記憶している閾値と比較し、次のステップＳＰ２８へ移る。 In step SP26, the management control unit 41 adds and updates the value “1” to the number of times of handling registered in association with the target serial number in the handling number management table T1 by the counting unit 53 (FIG. 4). The process proceeds to step SP27. In step SP27, the management control unit 41 uses the determination unit 55 (FIG. 4) to compare the handling count associated with the target serial number, that is, the updated handling count, with the threshold value stored in the management storage unit 42. The process proceeds to the next step SP28.
　ステップＳＰ２８において管理制御部４１は、判定部５５により、更新後の取扱回数が閾値以上であるか否かを判定する。ここで肯定結果が得られると、このことは対象記番号と対応付けられた取扱回数が比較的多く、対象紙幣が現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた頻度が比較的高いため、当該対象紙幣における損傷の程度も比較的大きいと推定されることを意味している。このとき管理制御部４１は、次のステップＳＰ２９へ移り、現金自動預払機３において対象紙幣を再利用すること無く回収させるために、判定部５５により、判定結果を「要回収」に設定して、次のステップＳＰ３１へ移る。 In step SP28, the management control unit 41 determines whether or not the updated number of times of handling is greater than or equal to the threshold value by the determination unit 55. If a positive result is obtained here, this means that the number of times of handling associated with the target serial number is relatively large, and the frequency at which the target banknote is handled in the automatic teller machine 3 is relatively high. This means that the degree of damage is estimated to be relatively large. At this time, the management control unit 41 moves to the next step SP29 and sets the determination result to “required collection” by the determination unit 55 in order to collect the target banknote without being reused in the automatic teller machine 3. Then, the process proceeds to the next step SP31.
　一方、ステップＳＰ２８において否定結果が得られると、このことは対象記番号と対応付けられた取扱回数が比較的少なく、対象紙幣が現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた頻度が比較的低いため、当該対象紙幣における損傷の程度も比較的小さいと推定されることを意味している。このとき管理制御部４１は、次のステップＳＰ３０へ移り、現金自動預払機３において対象紙幣を再利用させるために、判定部５５により、判定結果を「非回収」に設定して、次のステップＳＰ３１へ移る。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP28, this means that the number of times of handling associated with the target serial number is relatively small, and the frequency with which the target banknote is handled in the automatic teller machine 3 is relatively low. This means that the degree of damage in the target banknote is estimated to be relatively small. At this time, the management control unit 41 moves to the next step SP30, and sets the determination result to “non-recovery” by the determination unit 55 in order to reuse the target banknote in the automatic teller machine 3, and the next step Move on to SP31.
　ステップＳＰ３１において管理制御部４１は、通信処理部５９により、判定結果を通信回線４経由で現金自動預払機３へ送出した後、次のステップＳＰ３２へ移って取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ２を終了する。 In step SP31, the management control unit 41 sends the determination result to the automatic teller machine 3 through the communication line 4 by the communication processing unit 59, and then moves to the next step SP32 to end the handling number management processing procedure RT2.
　これに応じて現金自動預払機３の紙幣制御部２１は、入金処理手順ＲＴ１（図７）のステップＳＰ７において、紙幣管理装置２からの判定結果を受信し、次のステップＳＰ８へ移る。ステップＳＰ８において紙幣制御部２１は、ステップＳＰ３において得られた鑑別結果及びステップＳＰ７において得られた判定結果を基に紙幣の搬送先を決定して次のステップＳＰ９へ移る。 In response, the banknote control unit 21 of the automatic teller machine 3 receives the determination result from the banknote management apparatus 2 in step SP7 of the deposit processing procedure RT1 (FIG. 7), and proceeds to the next step SP8. In step SP8, the banknote control part 21 determines the conveyance destination of a banknote based on the discrimination result obtained in step SP3, and the determination result obtained in step SP7, and moves to next step SP9.
　因みに紙幣の搬送先は、紙幣と認められなかったもの（いわゆる入金リジェクト紙幣）であれば入出金部２３となり、偽券であれば偽券収納庫２９となり、正券であり再利用可能であれば金種に応じて紙幣収納庫２７Ａ～２７Ｄとなり、正券であり再利用不可能であるか、或いは判定結果が「要回収」であればリジェクト庫２８となる。また決定された搬送先は、紙幣記憶部２２に一時的に記憶される。 Incidentally, if the banknote transport destination is not recognized as a banknote (so-called deposit reject banknote), it becomes the deposit / withdrawal unit 23, and if it is a fake ticket, it becomes a fake ticket storage 29, which is a genuine ticket and can be reused. Depending on the denomination, banknote storage boxes 27A to 27D are used, and the banknotes are correct and cannot be reused. Further, the determined transport destination is temporarily stored in the banknote storage unit 22.
　ステップＳＰ９において紙幣制御部２１は、対象紙幣を搬送先に応じて搬送し、次のステップＳＰ１０へ移る。具体的に紙幣制御部２１は、決定した搬送先が入出金部２３である紙幣、すなわち入金リジェクト紙幣を入出金部２３へ搬送して利用者に返却し、搬送先がそれ以外である紙幣を一時保留部２６へ搬送して収納させる。 In step SP9, the banknote control unit 21 transports the target banknote according to the transport destination, and proceeds to the next step SP10. Specifically, the banknote control unit 21 transports the banknote whose determined transport destination is the deposit / withdrawal unit 23, that is, the deposit-reject banknote to the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 and returns it to the user. It is conveyed to the temporary storage unit 26 and stored.
　ステップＳＰ１０において紙幣制御部２１は、ステップＳＰ１において入出金部２３に投入された全ての紙幣を装置内部へ取り込んだか否か、すなわち入出金部２３内に紙幣が残っていないか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部２１は、再度ステップＳＰ２へ戻って一連の処理を繰り返すことにより、収容器２３Ａ内の残りの紙幣を順次搬送し記番号を読み取って送信し、それぞれの搬送先を決定した上で一時保留部２６に収納させていく。 In step SP10, the banknote control unit 21 determines whether or not all banknotes inserted into the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 in step SP1 have been taken into the apparatus, that is, whether or not banknotes remain in the deposit / withdrawal unit 23. . If a negative result is obtained here, the banknote control unit 21 returns to step SP2 again and repeats a series of processes, thereby sequentially transporting the remaining banknotes in the container 23A, reading the serial numbers, and transmitting them. The transport destination is determined and stored in the temporary storage unit 26.
　一方、ステップＳＰ１０において肯定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部２１は次のステップＳＰ１１へ移り、一時保留部２６に収納している全ての紙幣を、紙幣記憶部２２に記憶しているそれぞれの搬送先、すなわち紙幣収納庫２７Ａ～２７Ｄ、リジェクト庫２８又は偽券収納庫２９へ搬送させ、次のステップＳＰ１２へ移って入金処理手順ＲＴ１を終了する。 On the other hand, if an affirmative result is obtained in step SP10, the banknote control unit 21 moves to the next step SP11, and each banknote stored in the banknote storage unit 22 is stored in the banknote storage unit 22. First, that is, the bills are stored in the bill storage boxes 27A to 27D, the reject box 28, or the fake ticket storage box 29, the process proceeds to the next step SP12, and the deposit processing procedure RT1 is completed.
　因みに紙幣制御部２１は、所定の取引中止指示を受け付けた場合、一時保留部２６に収納している全ての紙幣を、入出金部２３へ搬送して利用者に返却する。 Incidentally, the banknote control part 21 will convey all the banknotes accommodated in the temporary storage part 26 to the deposit or withdrawal part 23, and will return it to a user, when predetermined | prescribed transaction cancellation instruction | indication is received.
　このように紙幣制御部２１は、入金処理において、紙幣管理装置２の管理制御部４１と連携しながら、入金された紙幣の記番号を基にそれぞれの取扱回数を計数し、当該取扱回数が比較的少ない場合には再利用し、取扱回数が比較的多い場合に再利用せず回収するようになっている。 As described above, the banknote control unit 21 counts the number of times of handling based on the serial number of the deposited banknote in cooperation with the management control unit 41 of the banknote management apparatus 2 in the depositing process, and the number of times of handling is compared. If the number of handling is relatively high, it is reused.
［１－４．回収済記番号リストＬ１］
　ところで紙幣入出金機２０の紙幣記憶部２２には、図９に示すように、記番号を格納するための回収済記番号リストＬ１が記憶されている。紙幣制御部２１は、入金処理手順ＲＴ１のステップＳＰ８において搬送先を決定する際、「要回収」であった紙幣の記番号をこの回収済記番号リストＬ１に登録する。 [1-4. Collected serial number list L1]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, the collection | recovery serial number list | wrist L1 for storing a serial number is memorize | stored in the banknote memory | storage part 22 of the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 20. As shown in FIG. The banknote control part 21 registers the serial number of the banknote which was "recovery required" in this collect | recovered serial number list | wrist L1 when determining a conveyance destination in step SP8 of deposit processing procedure RT1.
　また紙幣制御部２１は、保守作業員等により保守作業が行われる際、操作表示部１６及びテンキー１７を介して所定の操作がなされることにより、図１０に示す表示画面Ｄ１を当該操作表示部１６に表示させる。 Further, when a maintenance work is performed by a maintenance worker or the like, the banknote control unit 21 performs a predetermined operation via the operation display unit 16 and the numeric keypad 17 so that the display screen D1 shown in FIG. 16 is displayed.
　表示画面Ｄ１は、回収済記番号リストＬ１に関する操作指示を受け付けるための画面となっており、いわゆるＧＵＩ（Graphical User Interface）として構成され、上下方向に沿って３個のボタンＢ１、Ｂ２及びＢ３が配置されている。ボタンＢ１、Ｂ２及びＢ３には、それぞれ「回収した紙葉類のリスト作成＆プリント」、「回収した紙葉類のリスト表示」及び「回収した紙葉類の登録機番号の削除」といった文字が表示されている。 The display screen D1 is a screen for receiving an operation instruction related to the collected serial number list L1, and is configured as a so-called GUI (Graphical User Interface), and includes three buttons B1, B2, and B3 along the vertical direction. Has been placed. On the buttons B1, B2 and B3, there are characters such as “Create & Print List of Collected Paper Sheets”, “Display List of Collected Paper Sheets” and “Delete Registered Machine Number of Collected Paper Sheets”, respectively. It is displayed.
　ボタンＢ１が押下操作された場合、紙幣制御部２１は、主制御部１９と協働することにより、回収済記番号リストＬ１に登録されている記番号をレシート処理部１８Ａからレシートに印字して排出させる。ボタンＢ２が押下操作された場合、紙幣制御部２１は、回収済記番号リストＬ１に登録されている記番号を操作表示部１６に表示させる。ボタンＢ３が押下操作された場合、紙幣制御部２１は、回収済記番号リストＬ１に登録されている記番号を全て削除する。 When the button B1 is pressed, the banknote control unit 21 cooperates with the main control unit 19 to print the serial numbers registered in the collected serial number list L1 on the receipt from the receipt processing unit 18A. Let it drain. When the button B2 is pressed, the banknote control unit 21 causes the operation display unit 16 to display serial numbers registered in the collected serial number list L1. When the button B3 is pressed, the banknote control unit 21 deletes all serial numbers registered in the recovered serial number list L1.
　このように紙幣制御部２１は、要回収と判定されて回収された紙幣の記番号を回収済み記番号リストに登録しておき、表示画面Ｄ１を介して保守作業員から操作指示を受け付けた場合、この回収済記番号リストＬ１に関する種々の処理を行うようになっている。 Thus, the banknote control part 21 has registered the serial number of the banknote collect | recovered as having been required collection | recovery in the collection | recovery serial number list | wrist, and received the operation instruction from a maintenance worker via the display screen D1. Various processes relating to the collected serial number list L1 are performed.
［１－５．動作及び効果］
　以上の構成において、第１の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム１では、現金自動預払機３において入金処理を行う際、入金された各紙幣から記番号を読み取り、これを紙幣管理装置２へ送信する。 [1-5. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, in the banknote management system 1 according to the first embodiment, when the depositing process is performed in the automatic teller machine 3, the serial number is read from each deposited banknote and transmitted to the banknote management apparatus 2. .
　紙幣管理装置２は、現金自動預払機３から記番号が送信された回数を計数して取扱回数とし、これを取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１（図４）により管理することで、それぞれの紙幣が取り扱われた回数を個別に計数する。また紙幣管理装置２は、この取扱回数が閾値を超えた場合、現金自動預払機３に「要回収」の判定結果を通知して当該紙幣を回収させる。 The banknote management device 2 counts the number of times the serial number is transmitted from the automatic teller machine 3 as the number of times of handling, and manages this by the handling number management table T1 (FIG. 4), thereby handling each banknote. Count each time. Moreover, the banknote management apparatus 2 notifies the determination result of "collection required" to the automatic teller machine 3, and collects the said banknote, when this handling frequency exceeds a threshold value.
　すなわち紙幣管理システム１は、各現金自動預払機３において取り扱われた回数の合計値が比較的多い場合に、当該紙幣における損傷の程度が比較的大きいものと見なし、回収することができる。 That is, when the total value of the number of times handled by each automatic teller machine 3 is relatively large, the banknote management system 1 regards the banknote as having a relatively large degree of damage and can collect it.
　これを換言すれば、紙幣管理システム１では、現金自動預払機３の鑑別部２５におけるイメージセンサにより撮像された画像等からでは判別が難しいような損傷を有していたとしても、取扱回数の多さを損傷の程度の大きさと見なすことで、適切に回収することができる。また紙幣管理システム１では、例えば発行されてからの期間が長い紙幣であっても、取扱回数が少ない場合には再利用することで、不必要に回収することが無い。 In other words, in the banknote management system 1, even if there is damage that is difficult to discriminate from an image or the like taken by the image sensor in the discrimination unit 25 of the automatic teller machine 3, the number of times of handling is large. By considering the height as the magnitude of damage, it can be properly recovered. Moreover, in the banknote management system 1, even if it is a banknote with a long period since it was issued, for example, when it is handled few times, it is not collected unnecessarily by reuse.
　さらに現金自動預払機３は、入金処理において紙幣管理装置２から得られた判定結果が「要回収」であった場合、鑑別結果を基に再利用可能と判断していた紙幣であっても、紙幣収納庫２７へ搬送せず、リジェクト庫２８へ搬送して回収する。このため現金自動預払機３は、入金処理の完了後に改めて「要回収」の紙幣を選別するための処理を行う必要が無い。 Furthermore, when the determination result obtained from the banknote management device 2 in the deposit process is “required collection”, the automatic teller machine 3 is a banknote that is determined to be reusable based on the discrimination result. It is not conveyed to the banknote storage box 27 but is conveyed to the reject box 28 and collected. For this reason, the automatic teller machine 3 does not need to perform a process for selecting the “collection required” banknotes again after the deposit process is completed.
　また紙幣管理システム１では、複数台の現金自動預払機３において紙幣の取扱回数を紙幣管理装置２により取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１を用いて一元的に管理する。このため紙幣管理システム１では、現金自動預払機３が個別に取扱回数を計数する場合と比較して、各紙幣が実際に市場で流通している状態がより適切に反映された、より精度の高い取扱回数を計数することができる。 Moreover, in the banknote management system 1, the banknote management device 2 manages the banknote handling frequency in a plurality of automatic teller machines 3 using the handling frequency management table T1. For this reason, in the banknote management system 1, compared with the case where the automatic teller machine 3 individually counts the number of times of handling, the state in which each banknote is actually distributed in the market is more appropriately reflected, and more accurate. High handling times can be counted.
　そのうえ現金自動預払機３は、表示画面Ｄ１（図１０）を介してボタンＢ１又はＢ２の操作指示を受け付けた場合、回収済記番号リストＬ１に格納している記番号をレシートに印字し、又は操作表示部１６に表示することができる。これにより現金自動預払機３は、例えば「要回収」と判定された紙幣が実際にリジェクト庫２８に回収されているか否かを保守作業員等が確認する際に、その確認作業を容易に行わせることができる。 In addition, when the automatic teller machine 3 accepts an operation instruction for the button B1 or B2 via the display screen D1 (FIG. 10), it prints the serial numbers stored in the collected serial number list L1 on the receipt, or It can be displayed on the operation display unit 16. Thereby, the automatic teller machine 3 easily performs the confirmation work when the maintenance worker or the like confirms whether the banknote determined to be “collection required” is actually collected in the reject store 28, for example. Can be made.
　また現金自動預払機３は、表示画面Ｄ１（図１０）を介してボタンＢ３の操作指示を受け付けた場合、回収済記番号リストＬ１に格納している記番号を全て削除することができる。これにより現金自動預払機３は、例えば保守作業においてリジェクト庫２８内の紙幣が取り出される際に、回収済記番号リストＬ１の記番号を削除させることで、その後の入金取引においてリジェクト庫２８に回収される紙幣と回収済記番号リストＬ１の内容とを一致させることができる。 In addition, when the cash dispenser 3 receives an operation instruction for the button B3 via the display screen D1 (FIG. 10), all the serial numbers stored in the collected serial number list L1 can be deleted. Thus, the automatic teller machine 3 collects the serial numbers in the collected serial number list L1 when the banknotes in the reject warehouse 28 are taken out in maintenance work, for example, and collects them in the reject warehouse 28 in the subsequent deposit transaction. Banknotes and the contents of the collected serial number list L1 can be matched.
　以上の構成によれば、第１の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム１では、現金自動預払機３において入金処理を行う際、入金された各紙幣から記番号を読み取って紙幣管理装置２へ送信する。紙幣管理装置２は、記番号ごとに紙幣が取り扱われた回数を取扱回数として計数し、この取扱回数が閾値を超えた場合、現金自動預払機３に「要回収」の判定結果を通知して当該紙幣を回収させる。これにより紙幣管理システム１は、各現金自動預払機３における取扱回数の合計値が比較的多い場合に、当該紙幣における損傷の程度が比較的大きいものと見なして回収することができる。 According to the above configuration, in the banknote management system 1 according to the first embodiment, when performing the depositing process in the automatic teller machine 3, the serial number is read from each deposited banknote and transmitted to the banknote management apparatus 2. . The banknote management device 2 counts the number of times that banknotes are handled for each serial number as the number of times of handling, and if the number of times of handling exceeds the threshold, notifies the automatic teller machine 3 of the determination result of “recovery required”. The banknote is collected. Thereby, the banknote management system 1 can consider and collect | recover that the degree of damage in the said banknote is comparatively large, when the total value of the handling frequency in each automatic teller machine 3 is comparatively large.

　紙幣制御部１２１は、第１の実施の形態による紙幣制御部２１と比較して、判定部１５５を有する点において相違するものの、他の点については同様に構成されている。判定部１５５は、第１の実施の形態における判定部５５と同様、対象記番号と対応付けられた取扱回数、すなわち対象紙幣が現金自動預払機１０３において取り扱われた回数を、紙幣記憶部２２に予め記憶している閾値と比較し、当該取扱回数が当該閾値以上であるか否かを判定する。 Although the banknote control part 121 differs in the point which has the determination part 155 compared with the banknote control part 21 by 1st Embodiment, it is comprised similarly about another point. Similar to the determination unit 55 in the first embodiment, the determination unit 155 indicates the number of times of handling associated with the target serial number, that is, the number of times the target banknote is handled in the automatic teller machine 103 in the banknote storage unit 22. It is compared with a threshold value stored in advance, and it is determined whether or not the number of handling is equal to or greater than the threshold value.
［２－２．入金処理及び取扱回数管理処理］
　現金自動預払機１０３の紙幣制御部１２１は、入金処理を行う場合、第１の実施の形態における入金処理手順ＲＴ１（図７）に代えて、図１２に示す入金処理手順ＲＴ３を実行するようになっている。また紙幣管理装置１０２は、第１の実施の形態による取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ２（図８）に代えて、図１３に示す取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ４を実行するようになっている。 [2-2. Payment processing and handling count management processing]
When performing the deposit process, the banknote control unit 121 of the automatic teller machine 103 executes the deposit process procedure RT3 shown in FIG. 12 instead of the deposit process procedure RT1 (FIG. 7) in the first embodiment. It has become. Further, the banknote management apparatus 102 executes a handling frequency management processing procedure RT4 shown in FIG. 13 instead of the handling frequency management processing procedure RT2 (FIG. 8) according to the first embodiment.
　紙幣制御部１２１は、入金処理手順ＲＴ３を開始してステップＳＰ４１へ移ると、このステップＳＰ４１～ＳＰ４６において、第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ１～６と同様の処理を行い、記番号を紙幣管理装置１０２へ送信して次のステップＳＰ４７へ移る。 When the banknote control unit 121 starts the deposit processing procedure RT3 and moves to step SP41, the banknote control unit 121 performs the same processing as that of steps SP1 to SP6 in the first embodiment in steps SP41 to SP46, and manages the serial numbers as banknote management. The data is transmitted to the apparatus 102, and the process proceeds to the next step SP47.
　一方、紙幣管理装置１０２の管理制御部１４１は、取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ４を開始してステップＳＰ６１へ移り、このステップＳＰ６１～ＳＰ６６において第１の
実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ２１～ＳＰ２６と同様の処理を行い、次のステップＳＰ６７へ移る。 On the other hand, the management control unit 141 of the banknote management apparatus 102 starts the handling number management processing procedure RT4 and proceeds to step SP61. In steps SP61 to SP66, the same processing as in steps SP21 to SP26 in the first embodiment is performed. And go to the next step SP67.
　ステップＳＰ６７において管理制御部１４１は、通信処理部５９により、更新した取扱回数を通信回線４経由で現金自動預払機１０３へ送出した後、次のステップＳＰ６８へ移って取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ４を終了する。 In step SP67, the management control unit 141 sends the updated number of times of handling to the automatic teller machine 103 via the communication line 4 by the communication processing unit 59, and then moves to the next step SP68 to end the number of times of handling management processing procedure RT4. To do.
　これに応じて現金自動預払機１０３の紙幣制御部１２１は、入金処理手順ＲＴ３（図１２）のステップＳＰ４７において、紙幣管理装置１０２からの取扱回数を受信し、次のステップＳＰ４８へ移る。 In response, the banknote control unit 121 of the automatic teller machine 103 receives the number of times of handling from the banknote management apparatus 102 in step SP47 of the deposit processing procedure RT3 (FIG. 12), and proceeds to the next step SP48.
　紙幣制御部１２１は、ステップＳＰ４８～ＳＰ５１において、第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ２７～ＳＰ３０（図８）と同様の処理を行うことにより、取扱回数と閾値との比較結果に応じて判定結果を設定し、次のステップＳＰ５２へ移る。 In steps SP48 to SP51, the banknote control unit 121 performs the same processing as that in steps SP27 to SP30 (FIG. 8) in the first embodiment, thereby obtaining a determination result according to the comparison result between the number of times of handling and the threshold value. Set and move to next step SP52.
　その後紙幣制御部１２１は、ステップＳＰ５２～ＳＰ５５において第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ８～ＳＰ１１と同様の処理を行った後、ステップＳＰ５６へ移って入金処理手順ＲＴ３を終了する。 Thereafter, the banknote control unit 121 performs the same processing as in steps SP8 to SP11 in the first embodiment in steps SP52 to SP55, and then proceeds to step SP56 to end the deposit processing procedure RT3.
［２－３．動作及び効果］
　以上の構成において、第２の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム１０１では、現金自動預払機１０３において入金処理を行う際、入金された各紙幣から記番号を読み取り、これを紙幣管理装置１０２へ送信する。 [2-3. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, in the banknote management system 101 according to the second embodiment, when depositing processing is performed in the automatic teller machine 103, a serial number is read from each deposited banknote and transmitted to the banknote management apparatus 102. .
　紙幣管理装置１０２は、現金自動預払機１０３から記番号が送信された取扱回数を取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１（図４）により管理することで、記番号ごとに紙幣が取り扱われた回数を計数し、この取扱回数を現金自動預払機１０３へ送信する。現金自動預払機１０３は、この取扱回数が閾値を超えた場合、「要回収」と判定して当該紙幣を回収する。 The banknote management device 102 counts the number of times that banknotes are handled for each serial number by managing the number of times the serial number is transmitted from the automatic teller machine 103 by the handling frequency management table T1 (FIG. 4). The number of times of handling is transmitted to the automatic teller machine 103. When the number of times of handling exceeds the threshold, the automatic teller machine 103 determines that “collection is required” and collects the banknote.
　これにより紙幣管理システム１０１は、第１の実施の形態と同様、各現金自動預払機１０３において取り扱われた回数の合計値が比較的多い場合に、当該紙幣における損傷の程度が比較的大きいものと見なし、回収することができる。 Thereby, the banknote management system 101 has a relatively large degree of damage in the banknote when the total number of times handled in each automatic teller machine 103 is relatively large, as in the first embodiment. Can be considered and recovered.
　また紙幣管理システム１０１は、第１の実施の形態とは異なり、各現金自動預払機１０３の紙幣記憶部２２に閾値を記憶しており、紙幣制御部１２１の判定部１５５において取扱回数と閾値とを比較して判定結果を決定する。 Further, unlike the first embodiment, the banknote management system 101 stores a threshold value in the banknote storage unit 22 of each automatic teller machine 103, and in the determination unit 155 of the banknote control unit 121, the number of times handled and the threshold value are stored. Are compared to determine the determination result.
　このため紙幣管理システム１０１は、現金自動預払機１０３ごとに異なる閾値を設定することができる。これにより紙幣管理システム１０１では、取扱回数に関しては全ての現金自動預払機１０３において各紙幣が取り扱われた回数を総合的に計数する一方で、例えば現金自動預払機１０３が設置されている金融機関毎や店舗毎に独自の閾値を設定してそれぞれ判定結果を決定する、といった柔軟な運用も可能となる。 For this reason, the banknote management system 101 can set different threshold values for each automatic teller machine 103. As a result, in the banknote management system 101, the total number of times each banknote is handled in all the automatic teller machines 103 is comprehensively counted with respect to the number of handling, for example, for each financial institution in which the automatic teller machine 103 is installed. In addition, flexible operations such as setting a unique threshold value for each store and determining the determination result are also possible.
　また紙幣管理システム１０１は、その他の点においても第１の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム１と同様の作用効果を奏し得る。 Moreover, the banknote management system 101 can have the same effects as the banknote management system 1 according to the first embodiment in other respects.
　以上の構成によれば、第２の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム１０１は、現金自動預払機１０３において入金処理を行う際、入金された各紙幣から記番号を読み取って紙幣管理装置１０２へ送信する。紙幣管理装置１０２は、記番号ごとに紙幣が取り扱われた回数を取扱回数として計数し、この取扱回数を現金自動預払機１０３へ送信する。現金自動預払機１０３は、取扱回数が閾値を超えた場合、当該紙幣を「要回収」と判定して回収する。これにより紙幣管理システム１０１は、各現金自動預払機１０３における取扱回数の合計値が比較的多い場合に、当該紙幣における損傷の程度が比較的大きいものと見なして回収することができる。 According to the above configuration, the banknote management system 101 according to the second embodiment reads the serial number from each banknote deposited and transmits it to the banknote management apparatus 102 when the automatic teller machine 103 performs the deposit process. . The banknote management apparatus 102 counts the number of times a banknote has been handled for each serial number as the number of times of handling, and transmits this number of times of handling to the automatic teller machine 103. When the number of times of handling exceeds the threshold, the automatic teller machine 103 determines that the banknote is “required collection” and collects it. Thereby, the banknote management system 101 can consider and collect | recover that the degree of damage in the said banknote is comparatively large, when the total value of the handling frequency in each automatic teller machine 103 is comparatively large.
［３．第３の実施の形態］
［３－１．紙幣管理システムの構成］
　第３の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム２０１（図１）は、紙幣管理装置２及び現金自動預払機３に代わる紙幣管理装置２０２及び現金自動預払機２０３により構成されている。 [3. Third Embodiment]
[3-1. Configuration of banknote management system]
The banknote management system 201 (FIG. 1) by 3rd Embodiment is comprised by the banknote management apparatus 202 and the automatic teller machine 203 instead of the banknote management apparatus 2 and the automatic teller machine 3. FIG.
　図４と対応する図１４に示すように、現金自動預払機２０３は、第１の実施の形態による現金自動預払機３（図４）と比較して、紙幣入出金機２０に代わる紙幣入出金機２２０を有する点において相違するものの、他の点については同様に構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 14 corresponding to FIG. 4, the automatic teller machine 203 is different from the automatic teller machine 3 (FIG. 4) according to the first embodiment in that the banknote depositing and dispensing machine replaces the banknote depositing and dispensing machine 20. Although different in that it has the machine 220, the other points are configured in the same manner.
　紙幣入出金機２２０は、第１の実施の形態による紙幣入出金機２０と比較して、紙幣制御部２１及び紙幣記憶部２２に代わる紙幣制御部２２１及び紙幣記憶部２２２を有する点において相違するものの、他の点については同様に構成されている。 The banknote depositing / dispensing machine 220 is different from the banknote depositing / dispensing machine 20 according to the first embodiment in that it includes a banknote control unit 221 and a banknote storage unit 222 instead of the banknote control unit 21 and the banknote storage unit 22. However, the other points are configured similarly.
　紙幣制御部２２１は、第１の実施の形態による紙幣制御部２１（図４）と比較して、認識部３３が省略された構成となっている。これに伴い紙幣制御部２２１は、画像切出部３２により生成した切出画像データＧ２を紙幣管理装置２０２へ送信する。また紙幣記憶部２２２は、回収すべき紙幣の記番号を格納する未回収記番号リストを記憶している。 The banknote control unit 221 has a configuration in which the recognition unit 33 is omitted as compared with the banknote control unit 21 (FIG. 4) according to the first embodiment. Accordingly, the banknote control unit 221 transmits the cut image data G2 generated by the image cutout unit 32 to the banknote management device 202. Moreover, the banknote memory | storage part 222 has memorize | stored the uncollected serial number list which stores the serial number of the banknote which should be collect | recovered.
　紙幣管理装置２０２は、第１の実施の形態による紙幣管理装置２と比較して、管理制御部４１及び管理記憶部４２に代えて、管理制御部２４１及び管理記憶部２４２を有している。管理制御部２４１は、第１の実施の形態による管理制御部４１（図４）と比較して、認識部２３３を有する点において相違するものの、他の点については同様に構成されている。 Compared with the banknote management apparatus 2 according to the first embodiment, the banknote management apparatus 202 has a management control section 241 and a management storage section 242 instead of the management control section 41 and the management storage section 42. The management control unit 241 is different from the management control unit 41 (FIG. 4) according to the first embodiment in that it includes a recognition unit 233, but is configured in the same manner for other points.
　認識部２３３は、第１の実施の形態における紙幣制御部２１の認識部３３（図４）と同様に構成されており、切出画像データＧ２（図５）に対して文字認識処理を施すことにより、文字列でなる記番号Ｎを認識し、これを管理記憶部２４２に一時的に記憶させる。 The recognition unit 233 is configured in the same manner as the recognition unit 33 (FIG. 4) of the banknote control unit 21 in the first embodiment, and performs character recognition processing on the cut-out image data G2 (FIG. 5). Thus, the serial number N made up of a character string is recognized and stored in the management storage unit 242 temporarily.
　管理記憶部２４２は、第１の実施の形態と同様に取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１（図４）を記憶する他、現金自動預払機２０３から送信された切出画像データＧ２、認識部２３３において認識された記番号Ｎ、及び回収すべき紙幣の記番号を格納する未回収記番号リスト等を記憶している。 Similar to the first embodiment, the management storage unit 242 stores the handling count management table T1 (FIG. 4), and is recognized by the cutout image data G2 transmitted from the automatic teller machine 203 and the recognition unit 233. The serial number N and the uncollected serial number list for storing serial numbers of banknotes to be collected are stored.
［３－２．入金処理、取扱回数管理処理及び出金処理］
　ところでこの第３の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム２０１では、第１の実施の形態とは異なり、切出画像データＧ２から記番号を認識する認識処理及び各紙幣を回収するか否かを判定する判定処理等を、入金取引の終了後に紙幣管理装置２０２により実行するようになっている。さらに紙幣管理システム２０１では、要回収と判定された紙幣を、現金自動預払機２０３における出金取引において回収するようになっている。 [3-2. Payment processing, handling count management processing and withdrawal processing]
By the way, in the banknote management system 201 according to the third embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, a recognition process for recognizing a serial number from the cut-out image data G2 and whether to collect each banknote are determined. Judgment processing and the like are executed by the banknote management apparatus 202 after the deposit transaction is completed. Furthermore, in the banknote management system 201, the banknote determined to be collected is collected in a withdrawal transaction in the automatic teller machine 203.
　具体的に現金自動預払機２０３の紙幣制御部２２１は、入金処理を行う場合、第１の実施の形態における入金処理手順ＲＴ１（図７）に代えて、図１５に示す入金処理手順ＲＴ５を実行する。紙幣制御部２２１は、入金処理手順ＲＴ５を開始してステップＳＰ７１へ移ると、このステップＳＰ７１～ＳＰ７４において、第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ１～４と同様の処理を行い、次のステップＳＰ７５へ移る。 Specifically, when performing the deposit process, the banknote control unit 221 of the automatic teller machine 203 executes the deposit process procedure RT5 shown in FIG. 15 instead of the deposit process procedure RT1 (FIG. 7) in the first embodiment. To do. When the banknote control unit 221 starts the deposit processing procedure RT5 and moves to step SP71, in this step SP71 to SP74, the same processing as the steps SP1 to SP4 in the first embodiment is performed, and then to the next step SP75. Move.
　ステップＳＰ７５において紙幣制御部２２１は、通信処理部３９により切出画像データＧ２を紙幣管理装置２０２へ送信し、次のステップＳＰ７６へ移る。これに応じて紙幣管理装置２０２の管理制御部２４１は、この切出画像データＧ２を受信して管理記憶部２４２に記憶させる。 In step SP75, the banknote control unit 221 transmits the cut image data G2 to the banknote management apparatus 202 by the communication processing unit 39, and proceeds to the next step SP76. In response to this, the management control unit 241 of the banknote management apparatus 202 receives the cut-out image data G2 and stores it in the management storage unit 242.
　紙幣制御部２２１は、続くステップＳＰ７６～ＳＰ７９において、第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ８～ＳＰ１１と同様の処理を行う。ただし紙幣制御部２２１は、ステップＳＰ７６において、判定結果については考慮せず、鑑定結果のみに基づいて搬送先を決定する。その後紙幣制御部２２１は、次のステップＳＰ８０へ移って入金処理手順ＲＴ５を終了する。 The banknote control unit 221 performs the same processes as steps SP8 to SP11 in the first embodiment in subsequent steps SP76 to SP79. However, the banknote control part 221 determines a conveyance destination based only on an appraisal result in step SP76, without considering a determination result. Thereafter, the banknote control unit 221 moves to the next step SP80 and ends the deposit processing procedure RT5.
　一方、紙幣管理装置２０２の管理制御部２４１は、予め設定された時間になったとき、例えば金融機関において一日の現金自動預払機２０３の運用時間が経過して全ての入金処理を終了した後に、第１の実施の形態における取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ２（図８）に代えて、図１６に示す取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ６を実行する。 On the other hand, when the management control unit 241 of the banknote management device 202 reaches a preset time, for example, after the operation time of the automatic teller machine 203 for one day has elapsed in a financial institution and all the depositing processes are completed. Instead of the handling number management processing procedure RT2 (FIG. 8) in the first embodiment, the handling number management processing procedure RT6 shown in FIG. 16 is executed.
　管理制御部２４１は、まずステップＳＰ８１において管理記憶部２４２から１個の切出画像データＧ２を読み出し、次のステップＳＰ８２へ移る。ステップＳＰ８２において管理制御部２４１は、認識部２３３によって、第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ５（図７）と同様、切出画像データＧ２に対して文字認識処理を施すことにより、文字列でなる記番号（以下これを対象記番号と呼ぶ）を認識し、次のステップＳＰ８３へ移る。 The management control unit 241 first reads one piece of cut image data G2 from the management storage unit 242 in step SP81, and proceeds to the next step SP82. In step SP82, the management control unit 241 uses the recognition unit 233 to perform character recognition processing on the cut-out image data G2 as in step SP5 (FIG. 7) in the first embodiment, thereby forming a character string. The serial number (hereinafter referred to as the target serial number) is recognized, and the process proceeds to the next step SP83.
　その後、管理制御部２４１は、ステップＳＰ８３～ＳＰ８９において第１の実施の形態におけるステップＳＰ２２～ＳＰ２８（図８）と同様の処理を行い、更新後の取扱回数が閾値以上であるか否かを判定する。 Thereafter, the management control unit 241 performs the same processing as steps SP22 to SP28 (FIG. 8) in the first embodiment in steps SP83 to SP89, and determines whether or not the number of times of handling after updating is equal to or greater than a threshold value. To do.
　ステップＳＰ８９において肯定結果が得られると、このことは対象記番号が付された紙幣を回収すべきであることを表している。このとき管理制御部２４１は、次のステップＳＰ９０へ移り、登録部５２により、管理記憶部２４２に記憶している未回収記番号リストに対象記番号を登録して、次のステップＳＰ９１へ移る。 If a positive result is obtained in step SP89, this indicates that the banknote with the target serial number should be collected. At this time, the management control unit 241 moves to the next step SP90, registers the target serial number in the uncollected serial number list stored in the management storage unit 242 by the registration unit 52, and moves to the next step SP91.
　一方、ステップＳＰ８９において否定結果が得られると、このことは対象記番号が付された紙幣を回収する必要が無いことを表しており、このとき管理制御部２４１は次のステップＳＰ９１へ移る。 On the other hand, if a negative result is obtained in step SP89, this indicates that there is no need to collect the banknote with the target serial number, and at this time, the management control unit 241 proceeds to the next step SP91.
　ステップＳＰ９１において管理制御部２４１は、管理記憶部２４２に記憶している全ての切出画像データについて記番号の認識処理及び取扱回数と閾値との比較処理を行ったか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、管理制御部２４１は再びステップＳＰ８１へ戻って一連の処理を繰り返す。 In step SP91, the management control unit 241 determines whether or not serial number recognition processing and comparison processing between the number of times of handling and a threshold value have been performed on all the cut-out image data stored in the management storage unit 242. If a negative result is obtained here, the management control unit 241 returns to step SP81 again and repeats a series of processes.
　一方、ステップＳＰ９１において肯定結果が得られると、管理制御部２４１は次のステップＳＰ９２へ移り、通信処理部５９により、管理記憶部２４２に記憶している未回収記番号リストを各現金自動預払機２０３へ送信した後、次のステップＳＰ９３へ移って取扱回数管理処理手順ＲＴ６を終了する。 On the other hand, if an affirmative result is obtained in step SP91, the management control unit 241 moves to the next step SP92, and the communication processing unit 59 sets the uncollected serial number list stored in the management storage unit 242 to each automatic teller machine. After transmitting to 203, the process proceeds to the next step SP93, and the handling number management processing procedure RT6 is terminated.
　因みに管理制御部２４１は、全ての現金自動預払機２０３から受信した切出画像データＧ２に対し、同様に記番号の認識処理や取扱回数と閾値との比較処理を行い、１個の未回収記番号リストを生成するようになっている。 Incidentally, the management control unit 241 similarly performs serial number recognition processing and comparison processing between the number of times of handling and a threshold value for the cut image data G2 received from all the automatic teller machines 203, and one uncollected recording data. A number list is generated.
　その後、現金自動預払機２０３は、出金処理を行う場合、紙幣記憶部２２２から所定の出金プログラムを読み出して実行することにより、図１７に示す出金処理手順ＲＴ７を開始してステップＳＰ１０１へ移る。 Thereafter, when performing the withdrawal process, the automatic teller machine 203 reads and executes a predetermined withdrawal program from the banknote storage unit 222, thereby starting the withdrawal processing procedure RT7 shown in FIG. 17 and proceeds to step SP101. Move.
　ステップＳＰ１０１において紙幣制御部２２１は、主制御部１９（図１４）と連携しながら、操作表示部１６を介して利用者から出金額の入力操作を受け付け、次のステップＳＰ１０２へ移る。ステップＳＰ１０２において紙幣制御部２２１は、入力された出金額に応じた金種及び枚数の紙幣を決定して、次のステップＳＰ１０３へ移る。 In step SP101, the banknote control unit 221 receives an input operation of a withdrawal amount from the user via the operation display unit 16 in cooperation with the main control unit 19 (FIG. 14), and proceeds to the next step SP102. In step SP102, the banknote control unit 221 determines the denomination and number of banknotes according to the input withdrawal amount, and proceeds to the next step SP103.
　ステップＳＰ１０３において紙幣制御部２２１は、決定した金種の紙幣を紙幣収納庫２７から１枚繰り出し、搬送部２４により鑑別部２５へ搬送させて、次のステップＳＰ１０４へ移る。ステップＳＰ１０４において紙幣制御部２２１は、鑑別制御部３１の制御に基づき、鑑別部２５により紙幣を鑑別させ、その鑑別結果を取得して次のステップＳＰ１０５へ移る。 In step SP103, the banknote control unit 221 feeds one banknote of the determined denomination from the banknote storage 27, transports it to the discrimination unit 25 by the transport unit 24, and moves to the next step SP104. In step SP104, based on the control of the discrimination control unit 31, the banknote control unit 221 discriminates the banknote by the discrimination unit 25, acquires the discrimination result, and proceeds to the next step SP105.
　ステップＳＰ１０５において紙幣制御部２２１は、この紙幣（以下これを対象紙幣と呼ぶ）の記番号（以下これを対象記番号と呼ぶ）を読み取り、次のステップＳＰ１０６へ移る。具体的に紙幣制御部２２１は、鑑別制御部３１により鑑別部２５から画像データＧ１を取得し、画像切出部３２により切出画像データＧ２を生成し、これを紙幣管理装置２０２へ送信することにより記番号を認識させ、認識された記番号を当該紙幣管理装置２０２から受信する。 In step SP105, the banknote control unit 221 reads the serial number (hereinafter referred to as the target serial number) of the banknote (hereinafter referred to as the target banknote), and proceeds to the next step SP106. Specifically, the banknote control part 221 acquires the image data G1 from the discrimination part 25 by the discrimination control part 31, produces | generates the cutting image data G2 by the image cutting part 32, and transmits this to the banknote management apparatus 202. The serial number is recognized, and the recognized serial number is received from the banknote management apparatus 202.
　ステップＳＰ１０６において紙幣制御部２２１は、対象記番号を未回収記番号リストの各記番号と比較し、次のステップＳＰ１０７へ移る。 In step SP106, the banknote control unit 221 compares the target serial number with each serial number in the uncollected serial number list, and proceeds to the next step SP107.
　ステップＳＰ１０７において紙幣制御部２２１は、対象記番号が未回収記番号リストに登録されているか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、このことは対象紙幣を回収する必要が無く、出金できることを表している。このとき紙幣制御部２２１は、次のステップＳＰ１０８へ移り、搬送制御部３７の制御に基づき、搬送部２４により対象紙幣を入出金部２３へ搬送させて、次のステップＳＰ１１１へ移る。 In step SP107, the banknote control unit 221 determines whether or not the target serial number is registered in the uncollected serial number list. If a negative result is obtained here, this means that it is not necessary to collect the target banknote and the withdrawal can be made. At this time, the banknote control unit 221 moves to the next step SP108, causes the conveyance unit 24 to carry the target banknote to the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 based on the control of the conveyance control unit 37, and moves to the next step SP111.
　一方、ステップＳＰ１０７において肯定結果が得られると、このことは対象紙幣の取扱回数が比較的多く、回収すべきであることを表している。このとき紙幣制御部２２１は、次のステップＳＰ１０９へ移り、搬送制御部３７の制御に基づき、搬送部２４により対象紙幣をリジェクト庫２８へ搬送させて、次のステップＳＰ１１０へ移る。 On the other hand, if a positive result is obtained in step SP107, this indicates that the number of times the target banknote is handled is relatively large and should be collected. At this time, the banknote control unit 221 moves to the next step SP109, causes the conveyance unit 24 to carry the target banknote to the reject box 28 based on the control of the conveyance control unit 37, and moves to the next step SP110.
　ステップＳＰ１１０において紙幣制御部２２１は、未回収記番号リストから対象記番号を削除することにより当該未回収記番号リストを更新し、次のステップＳＰ１１１へ移る。因みに紙幣制御部２２１は、対象記番号を他の現金自動預払機２０３へ送信することにより、各現金自動預払機２０３において記憶している未回収記番号リストからも対象記番号を削除させる。 In step SP110, the banknote control unit 221 updates the uncollected serial number list by deleting the target serial number from the uncollected serial number list, and proceeds to the next step SP111. Incidentally, the banknote control part 221 deletes a target serial number also from the uncollected serial number list | wrist memorize | stored in each cash automatic teller machine 203 by transmitting a target serial number to the other automatic teller machine 203.
　ステップＳＰ１１１において紙幣制御部２２１は、入出金部２３へ搬送した紙幣の合計金額が出金額に達したか否かを判定する。ここで否定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部２２１は再度ステップＳＰ１０３へ戻り、一連の処理を繰り返す。 In step SP111, the banknote control unit 221 determines whether or not the total amount of banknotes conveyed to the deposit / withdrawal unit 23 has reached the withdrawal amount. If a negative result is obtained here, the banknote control unit 221 returns to step SP103 again and repeats a series of processes.
　一方、ステップＳＰ１１１において肯定結果が得られると、紙幣制御部２２１は次のステップＳＰ１１２へ移り、入出金部２３のシャッタ２３Ｂを開放して利用者に紙幣を取り出させ、当該シャッタ２３Ｂを閉塞した後、次のステップＳＰ１１３へ移って出金処理手順ＲＴ７を終了する。 On the other hand, if an affirmative result is obtained in step SP111, the banknote control unit 221 moves to the next step SP112, opens the shutter 23B of the deposit / withdrawal unit 23, allows the user to take out banknotes, and closes the shutter 23B. Then, the process proceeds to the next step SP113, and the withdrawal processing procedure RT7 is terminated.
［３－３．動作及び効果］
　以上の構成において、第３の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム２０１では、現金自動預払機２０３において入金処理を行う際、入金された各紙幣を基に切出画像データＧ２を生成し、これを紙幣管理装置２０２へ送信して記憶させる。 [3-3. Operation and effect]
In the above configuration, in the banknote management system 201 according to the third embodiment, when the depositing process is performed in the automatic teller machine 203, the cut image data G2 is generated based on each deposited banknote, and this is processed into the banknote It is transmitted to the management device 202 and stored.
　紙幣管理装置２０２は、現金自動預払機２０３における入金処理の終了後に、切出画像データＧ２を基に記番号を認識する。さらに紙幣管理装置２０２は、この記番号を認識した回数である取扱回数を取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１（図４）により管理することで、記番号ごとに紙幣が取り扱われた回数を計数し、この取扱回数が閾値を超えた場合、この記番号を未回収記番号リストに登録する。 The banknote management device 202 recognizes the serial number based on the cut-out image data G2 after the deposit processing in the automatic teller machine 203 is completed. Further, the banknote management device 202 counts the number of times the banknotes are handled for each serial number by managing the number of times of handling, which is the number of times the serial number is recognized, by the handling count management table T1 (FIG. 4). When the number of times exceeds the threshold, this serial number is registered in the uncollected serial number list.
　その後現金自動預払機２０３は、出金処理を行う際に、紙幣収納庫２７から繰り出した紙幣を鑑別し、読み取った記番号が未回収記番号リストに登録されていれば、これをリジェクト庫２８へ搬送して回収する。 Thereafter, the automatic teller machine 203 discriminates the banknotes delivered from the banknote storage 27 when performing the withdrawal process, and if the read serial number is registered in the uncollected serial number list, it is rejected. To be collected.
　これにより紙幣管理システム２０１は、第１の実施の形態と同様、各現金自動預払機２０３において取り扱われた回数の合計値が比較的多い場合に、当該紙幣における損傷の程度が比較的大きいものと見なし、回収することができる。 Thereby, the banknote management system 201 has a relatively large degree of damage to the banknote when the total number of times handled in each automatic teller machine 203 is relatively large, as in the first embodiment. Can be considered and recovered.
　ところで紙幣管理システム２０１では、紙幣の記番号を読み取ることができなかった場合、当該紙幣の取扱回数を計数できないことになるため、回収すべきであるか否かを正しく判断できなくなる。 By the way, in the banknote management system 201, when the serial number of the banknote cannot be read, the number of times the banknote is handled cannot be counted, and thus it cannot be correctly determined whether or not the banknote should be collected.
　この点に関し、紙幣管理システム２０１は、切出画像データＧ２（図５）から記番号Ｎを認識する認識処理を、入金処理が終了した後に実行する。このため紙幣管理システム２０１は、利用者を待たせること無く、認識処理に十分な時間をかけて、第１及び第２の実施の形態よりも高精度な認識結果を得ることができる。 In this regard, the banknote management system 201 executes a recognition process for recognizing the serial number N from the cut-out image data G2 (FIG. 5) after the deposit process is completed. For this reason, the banknote management system 201 can obtain a recognition result with higher accuracy than the first and second embodiments without waiting for the user and taking a sufficient time for the recognition process.
　また紙幣管理システム２０１は、現金自動預払機２０３では無く、紙幣管理装置２０２の認識部２３３において認識処理を行う。このため紙幣管理システム２０１は、現金自動預払機２０３と比較して紙幣管理装置２０２の台数が格段に少ないことから、当該紙幣管理装置２０２における演算処理能力を高めたとしても、これに必要なコストの増加分を小さく抑えることができる。これにより紙幣管理システム２０１は、僅かなコストの増加により全ての記番号についての認識精度を格段に高めることができる。 Moreover, the banknote management system 201 performs a recognition process in the recognition unit 233 of the banknote management apparatus 202, not the automatic teller machine 203. For this reason, since the banknote management system 201 has a significantly smaller number of banknote management apparatuses 202 than the automatic teller machine 203, even if the calculation processing capability of the banknote management apparatus 202 is increased, the necessary cost is required. Can be kept small. Thereby, the banknote management system 201 can raise the recognition precision about all the serial numbers markedly with a slight increase in cost.
　さらに紙幣管理システム２０１は、全ての現金自動預払機２０３について共通の未回収記番号リストを生成し、これを全ての現金自動預払機２０３へ送信する。このため紙幣管理システム２０１では、例えばある現金自動預払機２０３に入金された紙幣が取り出されて他の現金自動預払機２０３に装填された場合であっても、出金処理において記番号を基に回収することができる。 Further, the banknote management system 201 generates a common uncollected serial number list for all the automatic teller machines 203 and transmits this to all the automatic teller machines 203. For this reason, in the banknote management system 201, for example, even when a banknote deposited in a certain automatic teller machine 203 is taken out and loaded into another automatic teller machine 203, it is based on the serial number in the withdrawal process. It can be recovered.
　また紙幣管理システム２０１は、その他の点においても第１の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム１と同様の作用効果を奏し得る。 Also, the banknote management system 201 can achieve the same effects as the banknote management system 1 according to the first embodiment in other respects.
　以上の構成によれば、第３の実施の形態による紙幣管理システム２０１は、現金自動預払機２０３において入金処理を行う際、入金された各紙幣を基に切出画像データＧ２を生成する。入金処理の終了後、紙幣管理装置２０２は、切出画像データＧ２を基に記番号を認識し、当該記番号を認識した回数を取扱回数として計数して、取扱回数が閾値を超えた場合、この記番号を未回収記番号リストに登録する。現金自動預払機２０３は、出金処理を行う際に、紙幣の記番号が未回収記番号リストに登録されていれば回収させる。これにより紙幣管理システム２０１は、各現金自動預払機２０３における取扱回数の合計値が比較的多い場合に、当該紙幣における損傷の程度が比較的大きいものと見なして回収することができる。 According to the above configuration, the banknote management system 201 according to the third embodiment generates cut-out image data G2 based on each deposited banknote when performing the depositing process in the automatic teller machine 203. After the deposit processing is completed, the banknote management device 202 recognizes the serial number based on the cut-out image data G2, counts the number of times the serial number is recognized as the number of times of handling, and if the number of times of handling exceeds the threshold, This serial number is registered in the uncollected serial number list. The automatic teller machine 203 collects the banknote serial number if it is registered in the uncollected serial number list when performing the withdrawal process. Thereby, the banknote management system 201 can collect | recover as what the degree of damage in the said banknote is comparatively large, when the total value of the handling frequency in each automatic teller machine 203 is comparatively large.
［４．他の実施の形態］
　なお上述した第１の実施の形態においては、紙幣制御部２１内に認識部３３を設け、現金自動預払機３において切出画像データＧ２からの記番号Ｎの認識処理を行う場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば紙幣管理システム１において現金自動預払機３と通信回線４を介して接続された所定の認識装置（図示せず）や紙幣管理装置２等に対し、切出画像データＧ２を送信することで、第３の実施の形態と同様に記番号を認識させても良い。これにより、紙幣制御部２１における処理負荷を軽減させることができる。 [4. Other Embodiments]
In the above-described first embodiment, the recognition unit 33 is provided in the banknote control unit 21 and the automatic teller machine 3 performs the recognition process of the serial number N from the cut-out image data G2. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, for a predetermined recognition device (not shown) connected to the automatic teller machine 3 through the communication line 4 in the banknote management system 1, the banknote management apparatus 2, etc. By transmitting the cut-out image data G2, the serial number may be recognized as in the third embodiment. Thereby, the processing load in the banknote control part 21 can be reduced.
　また上述した第１の実施の形態においては、紙幣管理装置２の判定部５５により取扱回数を閾値と比較することで紙幣を回収するか否かを判定し、「要回収」と判定した紙幣を現金自動預払機３に回収させる場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば紙幣管理装置２において判定部５５を省略し、現金自動預払機３において紙幣を回収しないようにしても良い。この場合、例えば取扱回数に関する統計値を算出することで、紙幣の流通の様子を数値により表すことが可能となる。 Moreover, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the determination part 55 of the banknote management apparatus 2 determines whether a banknote is collect | recovered by comparing the frequency | count of handling with a threshold value, and the banknote determined to be "recovery required" is determined. The case where the automatic teller machine 3 collects was described. However, the technique of this indication is not restricted to this, For example, the determination part 55 may be abbreviate | omitted in the banknote management apparatus 2, and you may make it not collect | recover banknotes in the automatic teller machine 3. FIG. In this case, for example, by calculating a statistical value related to the number of times of handling, it is possible to represent the state of circulation of banknotes by numerical values.
　さらに上述した第１の実施の形態においては、管理記憶部４２に単一の閾値を記憶させておき、判定部５５において、取扱回数をこの単一の閾値と比較することで紙幣を回収するか否かを画一的に判定する場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば管理記憶部４２に複数の閾値を記憶させると共に各閾値を各現金自動預払機３と対応付けておき、判定部５５において、記番号を送信してきた現金自動預払機３と対応付けられた閾値を管理記憶部４２から読み出して取扱回数と比較し、紙幣を回収するか否かを判断しても良い。これにより、第２の実施の形態と同様に、紙幣の回収に関する判断基準を金融機関毎や店舗毎に相違させることができる。 Further, in the above-described first embodiment, whether a single threshold value is stored in the management storage unit 42, and the banknote is collected by comparing the number of times of handling with the single threshold value in the determination unit 55. The case where the determination is made uniformly is described. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of threshold values are stored in the management storage unit 42, and each threshold value is associated with each automatic teller machine 3, and the determination unit 55 transmits the serial number. A threshold value associated with the automatic teller machine 3 may be read from the management storage unit 42 and compared with the number of times of handling, and it may be determined whether or not to collect the banknote. Thereby, as in the second embodiment, it is possible to make the criteria for collecting banknotes different for each financial institution or each store.
　さらに上述した第１の実施の形態においては、「要回収」と判断された紙幣を入金処理において回収する場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば「要回収」と判断された紙幣をその後に行われる出金処理や精査処理等の他の処理において回収するようにしても良い。この場合、例えば第３の実施の形態のように、未回収記番号リストに記番号を登録しておき、出金処理等において紙幣から読み取った記番号をこの未回収記番号リストの各記番号と比較すれば良い。第２の実施の形態についても同様である。 Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, a case has been described in which banknotes determined to be “collection required” are collected in the deposit process. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and for example, banknotes determined to be “collection required” may be collected in other processes such as a withdrawal process and a scrutiny process performed thereafter. In this case, for example, as in the third embodiment, serial numbers are registered in the uncollected serial number list, and serial numbers read from the banknotes in the withdrawal process etc. are assigned to the serial numbers in the uncollected serial number list. Compare with. The same applies to the second embodiment.
　さらに上述した第３の実施の形態においては、入金処理において未回収記番号リストを参照せず、これに基づいた紙幣の回収を行わない場合について述べた。しかしながら本発明はこれに限らず、例えば入金処理において、前日までに生成され配信された未回収記番号リストと対象記番号とを照合し、一致した場合には当該紙幣を回収するようにしても良い。 Furthermore, in the third embodiment described above, a case has been described in which the uncollected serial number list is not referred to in the deposit processing, and banknotes are not collected based on this. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the deposit process, the uncollected serial number list generated and distributed up to the previous day is collated with the target serial number, and if they match, the banknote is collected. good.
　さらに上述した第３の実施の形態においては、紙幣管理装置２０２の取引回数管理処理において、全ての現金自動預払機２０３に関し１個の未回収記番号リストを生成する場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば現金自動預払機２０３毎に個別の未回収記番号リストを生成し、これをそれぞれの現金自動預払機２０３へ送信しても良い。これにより各現金自動預払機２０３では、自らに入金され紙幣収納庫２７に収納している紙幣についてのみ記番号が未回収記番号リストに登録されているため、当該未回収記番号リストにおける記番号の登録数が極めて少なくなり、照合処理を短時間で完了することができる。 Furthermore, in the third embodiment described above, the case where one uncollected serial number list is generated for all the automatic teller machines 203 in the transaction number management process of the banknote management apparatus 202 has been described. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and for example, an individual uncollected serial number list may be generated for each automatic teller machine 203 and transmitted to each automatic teller machine 203. Thereby, in each automatic teller machine 203, since the serial number is registered in the uncollected serial number list only for the banknotes deposited by itself and stored in the banknote storage 27, the serial numbers in the uncollected serial number list. The number of registrations is extremely small, and the verification process can be completed in a short time.
　さらに上述した第３の実施の形態においては、紙幣管理装置２０２の取引回数管理処理において生成した未回収記番号リストを現金自動預払機２０３へ送信し、記番号が登録された紙幣を出金処理において回収させる場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば金融機関の窓口に設置される紙幣整理装置（いわゆるテラーマシン）や紙幣を計数して束ねる施封装置等、種々の装置へ送信し、それぞれにおいて紙幣を取り扱う処理を行う際に回収させるようにしても良い。 Furthermore, in 3rd Embodiment mentioned above, the uncollected serial number list | wrist produced | generated in the transaction frequency management process of the banknote management apparatus 202 is transmitted to the automatic teller machine 203, and the banknote by which the serial number was registered is withdrawn. In the above, the case of collecting is described. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, and is transmitted to various devices such as a banknote arrangement device (so-called teller machine) installed at a counter of a financial institution or a sealing device that counts and bundles banknotes. You may make it collect | recover when performing the process which handles.
　さらに上述した第１の実施の形態においては、管理制御部４１の計数部５３により、各現金自動預払機３から記番号ごとに受信した回数を単純に計数して取扱回数とする場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば取扱回数管理テーブルＴ１（図６）において、各記番号に対し最後に取扱回数が更新された日時を対応付けてそれぞれ格納しておき、次に現金自動預払機３から記番号が送信された際に、格納された更新日時からの経過期間が比較的長い場合に、１よりも大きい値を加算するようにしても良い。これにより、現金自動預払機３に入金されること無く市場で取り扱われていた期間における損傷の増加分を取扱回数に反映させることができる。第２及び第３の実施の形態についても同様である。 Furthermore, in 1st Embodiment mentioned above, the case where the count part 53 of the management control part 41 simply counted the frequency | count received for every serial number from each automatic teller machine 3 was described. . However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, in the handling count management table T1 (FIG. 6), the date and time when the handling count was last updated is stored in association with each serial number, and then stored in cash. When the serial number is transmitted from the automatic teller machine 3, a value greater than 1 may be added if the elapsed period from the stored update date / time is relatively long. Thereby, the increase in damage in the period handled in the market without being deposited in the automatic teller machine 3 can be reflected in the number of times of handling. The same applies to the second and third embodiments.
　さらに上述した第１の実施の形態においては、入金処理において入金された紙幣の記番号を読み取ることを１回の取り扱いとして、取扱回数を計数する場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば出金処理において出金する紙幣の記番号を読み取ることや、入金処理及び出金処理の双方において紙幣の記番号をそれぞれ読み取ること、或いは精査処理等の種々の処理をそれぞれ１回の取り扱いとして、取扱回数を計数しても良い。要は、紙幣を繰り出し、搬送し、或いは収納する等して紙幣を取り扱うことにより、当該紙幣に対し僅かでも損傷を与える可能性がある場合に、これを１回として取扱回数を計数すれば良い。さらにこの場合、例えば取扱の種類毎に異なる重み付け係数を乗じて加算しても良い。第２及び第３の実施の形態についても同様である。 Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the number of times of handling is counted is described as one handling of reading the serial number of the banknote deposited in the deposit process. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this, for example, reading the serial number of a banknote to be withdrawn in the withdrawal process, reading the serial number of the banknote in both the deposit process and the withdrawal process, or a scrutiny process, etc. Each of the various processes may be handled as one time, and the number of times of handling may be counted. In short, if there is a possibility that even a slight damage may be caused to the banknote by handling the banknote by feeding out, transporting, or storing the banknote, this may be counted as one time. . Further, in this case, for example, a different weighting factor may be multiplied for each type of handling and added. The same applies to the second and third embodiments.
　さらに上述した第１の実施の形態においては、保守作業等において表示する表示画面Ｄ１（図１０）に対する操作に応じて、回収済記番号リストＬ１に登録された記番号を操作表示部１６に表示させ、レシートに印字し、或いは削除する場合について述べた。しかしながら本開示の技術はこれに限らず、例えば「回収済記番号リストＬ１を紙幣管理装置へ送信する」等の他の処理を行うようにしても良く、或いはこれらのうち何れかを省略しても良く、さらには表示画面Ｄ１を表示しないようにしても良い。この場合、回収済記番号リストＬ１を生成しないようにしても良い。第２及び第３の実施の形態についても同様である。 Further, in the first embodiment described above, the serial numbers registered in the collected serial number list L1 are displayed on the operation display unit 16 in response to an operation on the display screen D1 (FIG. 10) displayed in maintenance work or the like. The case of printing on a receipt or deleting is described. However, the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this.
