The abnormal coin is, for example, a counterfeit coin or a toy coin. Then, the operator removes the abnormal coin from the coins taken out of the intermediate stacking unit 200 and inserts the remaining coin (for example, a bad coin or a memorial coin) into the insertion unit 11.
中間集積部200から取り出された硬貨が投入部11に投入されると、投入部11は、投入された硬貨を1枚ずつ搬送部13に繰り出す。投入部11から繰り出された硬貨は、撮像部120において撮像されて中間集積部200に搬送される。撮像部120により得られた硬貨の画像は、制御部40に送信される。制御部40は、撮像部120により取得された硬貨の画像を記憶部43に記憶する。このようにして、投入部11に投入された複数枚の硬貨が1枚ずつ処理されて撮像部120により得られた硬貨の画像が制御部40に送信される。
When the coins taken out of the intermediate stacking unit 200 are inserted into the insertion unit 11, the insertion unit 11 delivers the inserted coins one by one to the transport unit 13. The coins drawn from the insertion unit 11 are imaged by the imaging unit 120 and conveyed to the intermediate stacking unit 200. The image of the coin obtained by the imaging unit 120 is transmitted to the control unit 40. The control unit 40 stores the image of the coin acquired by the imaging unit 120 in the storage unit 43. In this manner, the plurality of coins inserted into the insertion unit 11 are processed one by one and the image of the coin obtained by the imaging unit 120 is transmitted to the control unit 40.
また、制御部40は、撮像部120により取得された硬貨の画像を表示部412に1枚ずつ表示させる。操作者は、表示部412に表示された硬貨の画像に基づいて、操作部411を操作して硬貨(すなわち表示部412に表示された硬貨)に関する情報を操作部411に入力する。操作者による操作により硬貨に関する情報が操作部411に入力されると、制御部40は、表示部412に表示された硬貨の画像(すなわち撮像部120により得られた硬貨の画像)と操作部411に入力された硬貨に関する情報とを紐付けて記憶部43に記憶する。
Further, the control unit 40 causes the display unit 412 to display the images of the coins acquired by the imaging unit 120 one by one. The operator operates the operation unit 411 based on the image of the coin displayed on the display unit 412 and inputs information on the coin (that is, the coin displayed on the display unit 412) to the operation unit 411.

The operator operates the operation unit 411 to select one type and one amount of money from among the plurality of types of coins and the plurality of amounts of money shown on the type selection screen displayed on the display unit 412. In the example of FIG. 9, one type is selected from "memorial coin" and "loss coin", and one monetary amount is selected from eleven monetary amounts. Thereby, the operation unit 411 inputs information on the type of coin and the amount of money. Then, control unit 40 associates the image of the coin displayed on display unit 412 with the information on the type of coin and the amount of money input to operation unit 411 (an example of the information input unit), and stores it in storage unit 43. . In this manner, the images of the plurality of coins obtained by the imaging unit 120 are processed one by one, and the images of the coins and the information on the coins are associated and stored in the storage unit 43.
そして、投入部11に投入された複数枚の硬貨について硬貨の画像と情報とを紐付ける処理(以下「紐付け処理」と記載)が完了すると、制御部40は、判別処理の終了を承認してもよいかどうかを確認するための画像を表示部412に表示させる。
Then, when the process of correlating the coin images and information of a plurality of coins inserted into the insertion unit 11 (hereinafter referred to as “connection process”) is completed, the control unit 40 approves the end of the determination process. An image is displayed on the display unit 412 to confirm whether or not it is acceptable.
判別処理の終了を承認するための承認操作が操作部411に与えられると、制御部40は、中間集積部200に集積されている硬貨が判別硬貨収納部100に放出されるように硬貨処理装置1の動作を制御する。判別硬貨収納部100に放出された硬貨は、判別硬貨収納部100に収納される。

As described above, since a plurality of coins can be inserted into theinsertion unit 11, the plurality of coins can be inserted into the coin processing device 1 and the coin processing device 1 can perform the discrimination process. Thus, the burden on the operator when processing a plurality of coins can be reduced as compared with the case where the operator places a plurality of coins one by one in the deposit port (payment position) of the coin processing device. it can.
以上のように、複数枚の硬貨を投入部11に投入することができるので、複数枚の硬貨を硬貨処理装置1に投入して硬貨処理装置1に判別処理を行わせることができる。これにより、操作者が複数枚の硬貨を1枚ずつ硬貨処理装置の入金口(入金位置)に載置する場合よりも、複数枚の硬貨を処理する際の操作者の負担を軽減することができる。 [Effect by Embodiment 1]
As described above, since a plurality of coins can be inserted into the
また、入金処理において使用される投入部11や搬送部13を用いて入金不能硬貨の判別処理を行うことができる。すなわち、投入部11や搬送部13を入金処理と判別処理とで兼用することができる。これにより、判別処理専用の装置を用いて判別処理を行う場合(すなわち入金処理のための構成とは別に判別処理のための構成を設ける場合)よりも、装置の構成を簡潔にすることができる。
Moreover, the discrimination | determination process of a deposit impossible coin can be performed using the insertion part 11 and the conveyance part 13 which are used in a payment process. That is, the input unit 11 and the transport unit 13 can be used in both the deposit process and the determination process. Thereby, the configuration of the device can be made simpler than in the case where the determination processing is performed using the device dedicated to the determination processing (that is, the configuration for the determination processing is provided separately from the configuration for the deposit processing). .
また、硬貨を金種別に収納する金種別硬貨収納部16とは別に、制御部40により画像と情報とが紐付けられた硬貨である判別硬貨を収納する判別硬貨収納部100を設けることにより、判別硬貨を金種別硬貨収納部16とは異なる収納部である判別硬貨収納部100に収納することができる。これにより、判別硬貨の管理を厳格に行うことができる。
In addition to the denomination-type coin storage unit 16 that stores coins in denominations, a discriminator coin storage unit 100 that stores discriminant coins that are coins in which an image and information are linked by the control unit 40 is provided. Discrimination coins can be stored in the discrimination coin storage unit 100 which is a storage unit different from the denomination-type coin storage unit 16. Thereby, management of a discrimination | determination coin can be performed strictly.

Further, by providing the intermediate stacking unit 200 (specifically, the deposit reject unit 15), the coins captured by the imaging unit 120 can be temporarily stored in the intermediate stacking unit 200. As a result, it is possible to continuously perform the tying process of tying the image of the coin picked up by the imaging unit 120 and the image related to the coin inputted by the operation unit 411 (an example of the information input unit). Can reduce the burden of
また、入金処理の後に判別処理を行うことにより、入金処理において中間集積部200に搬送された硬貨(すなわち金種別硬貨収納部16に搬送されなかった入金不能硬貨)に対して判別処理を行うことができる。また、判別処理において中間集積部200から取り出された硬貨を投入部11に投入することを指示するための情報を出力することにより、操作者が中間集積部200から硬貨を取り出して投入部11に投入するときに中間集積部200から取り出された硬貨を操作者に目視で確認させることができる。これにより、硬貨に関する情報を操作者に正確に入力させることができる。
In addition, by performing the discrimination process after the deposit process, the discrimination process is performed on the coins transferred to the intermediate stacking unit 200 in the deposit process (that is, the deposit impossible coins not transported to the denomination coin storage unit 16). Can. Further, the operator takes out the coins from the intermediate stacking unit 200 and outputs the coins to the insertion unit 11 by outputting information for instructing insertion of the coins taken out from the intermediate stacking unit 200 into the insertion unit 11 in the determination processing. When the coin is inserted, the operator can make the operator visually confirm the coins taken out of the intermediate stacking unit 200. Thereby, the operator can be made to input the information regarding a coin correctly.
また、この例では、撮像部120が識別部12に搭載されている。すなわち、識別部12の撮像部が撮像部120として利用されている。そのため、撮像部120が識別部12に搭載されていない場合(すなわち撮像部120が識別部12と別体に構成されている場合)よりも、硬貨処理装置1の部品点数を削減することができる。
Further, in this example, the imaging unit 120 is mounted on the identification unit 12. That is, the imaging unit of the identification unit 12 is used as the imaging unit 120.

また、画像と情報とが紐付けられた硬貨である判別硬貨を判別硬貨収納部に100に収納することにより、手持ち管理の硬貨(すなわち硬貨処理装置1外で管理される硬貨)の枚数を削減することができる。これにより、不正や違算を防止することができる。また、銀行などの締め処理の時間を短縮することができる。
In addition, the discrimination coin, which is a coin in which an image and information are linked, is stored in the discrimination coin storage unit 100, thereby reducing the number of hand-held coins (that is, coins managed outside the coin processing device 1). can do. This can prevent fraud or miscalculation. In addition, it is possible to shorten the time for closing the bank and the like.
なお、中間集積部200(具体的には入金リジェクト部15)の近傍にLEDなどの発光部(図示を省略)が設けられていてもよい。そして、制御部40は、中間集積部200に集積された硬貨がある場合(すなわち金種別硬貨収納部16に収納することができない硬貨がある場合)に、中間集積部200の近傍に設けられた発光部を点滅または点灯させるように構成されていてもよい。
A light emitting unit (not shown) such as an LED may be provided in the vicinity of the intermediate stacking unit 200 (specifically, the deposit reject unit 15). The control unit 40 is provided in the vicinity of the intermediate stacking unit 200 when there are coins stacked in the intermediate stacking unit 200 (that is, when there are coins that can not be stored in the denomination coin storage unit 16). The light emitting unit may be configured to blink or light.
また、記憶部43には、制御部40は、撮像部120により取得された硬貨の画像に基づいて硬貨に関する情報を推定し、その推定により得られた情報を操作部411に入力することを促すための情報を出力するように構成されていてもよい。なお、この硬貨に関する情報には、硬貨の種別や金額などが含まれている。例えば、制御部40は、撮像部120により取得された硬貨の画像に基づいてその硬貨が100円の記念貨である可能性が高いと推定すると、表示部412に表示される種別選択画面(図9参照)において「記念貨」という種別と「100円」という金額が強調表示されるように表示部412を制御してもよい。また、制御部40は、「記念貨」という種別と「100円」という金額が既に選択された状態で表示されるように表示部412を制御してもよい。なお、このような推定は、種別毎および金額毎に予め準備された硬貨のサンプル画像と撮像部120により取得された硬貨の画像とを照合することで行うことが可能である。
Further, in the storage unit 43, the control unit 40 estimates information on coins based on the image of the coin acquired by the imaging unit 120, and urges input of the information obtained by the estimation to the operation unit 411. It may be configured to output information for The information on the coin includes the type of coin and the amount of money. For example, when the control unit 40 estimates that the coin is likely to be a commemorative coin of 100 yen based on the image of the coin acquired by the imaging unit 120, the type selection screen displayed on the display unit 412 (see FIG. In 9), the display unit 412 may be controlled so that the type of “memorial coin” and the amount of money of “100 yen” are highlighted. In addition, the control unit 40 may control the display unit 412 such that the type of “memorial coin” and the amount of “100 yen” are already selected. Note that such estimation can be performed by collating the sample image of the coin prepared in advance for each type and each amount of money with the image of the coin acquired by the imaging unit 120.
