Description

  The present invention relates to an automatic teller machine such as ATM (Automated Teller Machine).

In recent years, ATMs are installed not only in financial institutions such as banks but also in various places such as convenience stores and public facilities.
By using this ATM, for example, a customer who has an account at a bank can automatically withdraw cash from the account and deposit cash into the account without going through the bank window. Can be done.

  Specifically, a cash cassette for storing cash is accommodated inside the ATM, and the ATM takes out cash from the cash cassette and pays the customer (withdrawal) in response to a cash withdrawal operation by the customer. In addition, the cash that the customer has put in the ATM is stored (deposited) in the cash cassette according to the depositing operation of the cash by the customer.

  The cash cassette is composed of a plurality of denomination cassettes that store cash separately for each denomination, and is exchanged periodically, for example, in order to examine the cash traded in the ATM. Also, before the regular exchange period, for example, if the transaction becomes excessively charged and the denomination of a denomination becomes full, no further cash can be stored in the denomination cassette. Therefore, the transaction is temporarily stopped and the entire cash cassette including the denomination cassette is exchanged.

  In ATM, since it is desired that a transaction can be maintained for as long as possible even if there is an excessive amount of payment, a technique has been developed to increase the time until the transaction is stopped after the exchange of the cash cassette. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  By the way, since recent ATMs are installed in various places other than financial institutions, cash scrutiny of exchanged cash cassettes is rarely performed directly at the installation place, and the person in charge of cash cassette exchange is in charge of the district in charge. A cash cassette is collected from the ATM and exchanged for a new cash cassette, and the collected cash cassette is transported to a cash center for examining cash.

  Moreover, the new cash cassette for exchange is transported to the ATM installation place by the person in charge of exchange in a state where a predetermined amount of cash is stored in the cash center.

  In this way, the cash cassette collected from the ATM is transported to the cash center as it is, and the exchange cash cassette is also transported to the ATM installation location with the cash stored in the cash center. Therefore, there was a limit to improving the transportation efficiency of cash cassettes.

The cash withdrawal unit 111 takes out cash from a plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 in which cash is stored in accordance with a withdrawal operation by the user. The cash storage unit 112 stores the received cash in a plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 in accordance with a depositing operation by the user.

  The withdrawal inhibiting unit 102 controls the cash withdrawal unit 111 to inhibit the withdrawal of cash from each cassette so that a predetermined amount of cash is left in the plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. To do.

  The take-out restraining unit 102 can perform a restraint control by selecting a plurality of target cassettes to be taken out from the plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25.

The plurality of target cassettes are preferably cassettes that store cash of the same denomination. By doing so, the storage amount of the same denomination in the cash cassette 16 can be grasped collectively.
Here, the three cassettes 21, 23, 24, among the cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 are assumed to be ten thousand ticket cassettes for storing 10,000 yen bills, and these ten thousand ticket cassettes 21, 23, 24 are designated as target cassettes. An example of this will be described.

  The withdrawal restraining unit 102 restrains the cash withdrawal unit 111 from taking out the following when the cash withdrawal unit 111 takes out 10,000 yen bills from the 10,000 ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24. That is, the withdrawal inhibiting unit 102 inhibits the withdrawal of cash so that the amount of cash stored for each cassette of the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 is less than the predetermined first threshold value.

This predetermined first threshold is a lower limit threshold that can be set as appropriate. For example, the predetermined first threshold is 5 to 15% of the storage amount when cash is fully stored in one of the cassettes 21, 23, and 24. It can be set to a value indicating the amount. Specifically, if the full storage capacity for each cassette is 3000 sheets, for example, 10% can be set to 300 sheets.
In addition, the suitable storage amount for every cassette changes with the characteristic of the deposit / withdrawal tendency of the store where the automatic teller machine 1 is installed. For this reason, the set value of the first threshold value can be adjusted. Specifically, the setting value of the first threshold value is stored in the storage unit 36 or the like, and can be adjusted by the administrator of the automatic teller machine 1 or the like based on the actual operation results.

Based on the detection information acquired from the storage amount detection unit 43, the withdrawal suppression unit 102 determines whether or not the cash storage amount of each of the cassettes 21, 23, and 24 is the first threshold value.
Specifically, the removal suppression unit 102 determines whether the storage amount of any of the cassette cassettes 21, 23, and 24 has reached the first threshold based on the detection information of the storage amount detection unit 43. Judging. If there is a cassette whose stored amount has reached the first threshold, the withdrawal inhibiting unit 102 restrains the withdrawal of further cash from the cassette, and cash from other cassettes whose stored amount is greater than the first threshold. The cash withdrawal unit 111 is controlled so as to be taken out.

  The storage deterrence unit 103 controls the cash storage unit 112 to leave a predetermined amount of vacant space for storing cash in the plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. Control the storage.

  The storage suppression unit 103 can perform a suppression control by selecting a plurality of target cassettes to be stored from the plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25, as with the removal suppression unit 102. it can. Here, also in the case of storage suppression, similarly to the case of removal suppression, the ten thousand ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 are set as target cassettes.

  When the cash storage unit 112 stores 10,000 yen bills in the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24, the storage suppression unit 103 suppresses storage by the cash withdrawal unit 112 as described below. That is, the storage deterring unit 103 suppresses the storage of cash so that the amount of cash stored in each of the cassettes 21, 23, and 24 exceeds the predetermined second threshold.

The predetermined second threshold value is an upper limit threshold value that can be set as appropriate as a value larger than the first threshold value. For example, the storage amount when cash is fully stored in one of the cassettes 21, 23, and 24. Of 70 to 90% of the value can be set. Specifically, if the full storage capacity for each cassette is 3000 sheets, it can be set to 2400 sheets of 80%.
In addition, the suitable storage amount for every cassette changes with the characteristic of the deposit / withdrawal tendency of the store where the automatic teller machine 1 is installed. For this reason, the set value of the second threshold value can be adjusted. Specifically, the setting value of the second threshold value is stored in the storage unit 36 or the like, and can be adjusted by rewriting the manager or the like of the automatic teller machine 1 based on the actual operation results.

The storage deterring unit 103 determines whether the cash storage amount of each of the cassettes 21, 23, and 24 is the second threshold based on the detection information acquired from the storage amount detection unit 43.
Specifically, the storage suppression unit 103 determines whether the storage amount of any one of the cassette cassettes 21, 23, 24 has reached the second threshold based on the detection information of the storage amount detection unit 43. Judging. If there is a cassette whose storage amount has reached the second threshold, the storage suppression unit 103 suppresses further storage of cash in the cassette, and cash is stored in another cassette whose storage amount is less than the second threshold. The cash storage unit 112 is controlled so that is stored.

  Here, a specific example of the operation in which the cash withdrawal / withdrawal unit 101 (the cash withdrawal unit 111 and the cash storage unit 112) takes in and out the cash in the cash cassette 16 under the control of the withdrawal inhibiting unit 102 and the storage inhibiting unit 103 will be described. .

5 and 6 are diagrams showing how the cash in the cash cassette 16 is withdrawn and withdrawn by the cash in / out unit 101. FIG.
Although various things can be considered as the aspect which takes in and out the cash in the cash cassette 16, here, taking in and out using the justified mode and the equal mode will be described.

  In the figure, “10,000” indicates a ten thousand ticket cassette, “1,000” indicates a thousand ticket cassette, and “R” indicates a reject cassette.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the cash in the cash cassette 16 is withdrawn / withdrawn in the justified mode.
In the collocation mode, when there are two or more cassettes for each denomination, cash is taken out (withdrawal) from a cassette with a small storage amount (balance) at that time, and a cassette with a large storage amount at that time This mode is for storing cash (payment).

  When the cassettes subject to deterrence control are the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24, as shown in FIG. 5A, the cash withdrawal unit 111 takes out 10,000 yen bills from the 10,000-ticket cassette 24 with the smallest storage capacity. The cash storage unit 112 stores 10,000 yen bills in the 10,000-note cassette 21 having the largest storage amount.

  Then, when the withdrawal and withdrawal of cash continues, for example, when the storage amount of the ten thousand ticket cassette 24 reaches the first threshold value, the unloading deterring unit 102 inhibits the ten thousand yen bill from being taken out from the ten thousand ticket cassette 24, and the ten thousand ticket cassette 21 When the storage amount reaches the second threshold, the storage deterring unit 103 suppresses the storage of the 10,000 yen bill in the ten thousand ticket cassette 21. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5B, the remaining 10,000-note cassette 23 is used for taking out and storing the 10,000 yen bill by the cash withdrawal unit 111 and the cash storage unit 112.

  Here, when the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 is an automatic cash transaction apparatus with excessive withdrawals that tend to have more withdrawals than deposits as cash transactions by the user, as shown in FIG. Over time, the storage amount of the ticket cassette 23 also reaches the first threshold value, and in that case, the 10,000-yen bill is taken out from the 10,000-note cassette 21 whose storage amount has reached the second threshold value.

  And finally, as shown in FIG.5 (d), each accommodation amount of all the 10,000 ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 reaches a 1st threshold value.

  On the other hand, if the automatic teller machine 1 is an excessively automatic teller machine that tends to receive more money than withdrawn as a cash transaction by the user, as shown in FIG. Over time, the storage amount of the cassette 23 also reaches the second threshold value. In this case, the 10,000-yen bill is stored in the 10,000-note cassette 24 whose storage amount has reached the first threshold value.

  And finally, as shown in FIG.5 (f), each accommodation amount of all the 10,000 ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 reaches a 2nd threshold value.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which cash in the cash cassette 16 is taken in and out in the equal mode.
The equal mode is a mode in which when there are two or more cassettes for one denomination, cash is stored in a cassette with a small storage capacity at that time, and cash is taken out from a cassette with a large storage capacity at that time. .

  When the target cassettes for deterrence control are the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24, as shown in FIG. 6A, the cash withdrawal unit 111 takes out 10,000 yen bills from the 10,000-ticket cassette 21 with the largest storage capacity. The cash storage unit 112 stores 10,000 yen bills in the 10,000-ticket cassette 24 with the smallest storage capacity.

  In the equal mode, when the cash continues to be taken in and out, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the storage amounts of the 10,000-note cassettes 21, 23, and 24 are equalized, and the cash withdrawal is performed while maintaining the equalized state. The 10,000 yen bill is taken out and stored by the unit 111 and the cash storage unit 112.

  Here, when the automatic teller machine 1 is an automatic teller machine with excessive withdrawals, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the storage amounts of all the 10,000-note cassettes 21, 23, 24 are equalized. It will gradually decrease in the state.

  Then, by removing the 10,000 yen bill from the ten thousand ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 so that the accommodation amount becomes smaller than the first threshold value is inhibited by the take-out inhibiting unit 102, finally, FIG. ), The storage amounts of all the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 reach the first threshold value.

  On the other hand, when the automatic teller machine 1 is an excessively charged automatic teller machine, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the storage amounts of all the 10,000-note cassettes 21, 23, 24 are equalized. It gradually increases in the state.

  Then, the storage deterring unit 103 prevents the storage of the 10,000 yen bills in the 10,000-note cassettes 21, 23, and 24 so that the storage amount becomes larger than the second threshold value. ), The storage amounts of all the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, 24 reach the second threshold value.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the deterrence cassette first threshold determination unit 104 determines whether or not the amount of cash stored for each cassette of all cassettes for which the withdrawal deterrence unit 102 has deterred cash has reached the first threshold. Determine.

  Further, the deterring cassette second threshold determination unit 105 determines whether or not the amount of cash stored for each cassette of all cassettes whose storage is suppressed by the storage suppression unit 103 has reached the second threshold.

Specifically, the suppression cassette first threshold determination unit 104 and the suppression cassette second threshold determination unit 105 perform determination based on detection information acquired from the storage amount detection unit 43.
For example, the deterrence cassette first threshold discriminating unit 104 determines whether the stored amount detection unit 43 performs while the ten thousand yen bills in the ten thousand-note cassettes 21, 23, 24 to be deterred are put in and out by the shift mode or the equal mode. Based on the detection information, it is determined whether the storage amount for each cassette has reached the first threshold value in all cassettes of the 10,000-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24. Similarly, the suppression cassette second threshold value determination unit 105 similarly determines whether the storage amount for each cassette has reached the second threshold value in all the ten thousand-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24.

  The withdrawal restraint cancellation unit 106 restrains the withdrawal suppression unit 102 from taking out the cash when the restraint cassette first threshold determination unit 104 determines that the amount of cash stored in each cassette of all cassettes has reached the first threshold. Release the deterrence of taking out cash from one of the cassettes that are being used. Thereby, it is permitted to take out cash from the cassette whose deterrence has been released so that the amount stored is less than the first threshold value.

  For example, if the deterrence cassette first threshold value determination unit 104 determines that the storage amount of all the three ten thousand-note cassettes 21, 23, and 24 has reached the first threshold value, the determination information is taken out to the deterrence release unit 106. Send. Upon receipt of the determination information, the removal suppression release unit 106 transmits instruction information to the removal suppression unit 102 so as to release the removal suppression for one of the three ten thousand ticket cassettes.

  One ten thousand ticket cassette for canceling the suppression may be arbitrarily selected. For example, it may be preferentially selected from a cassette that is distant from the reject cassette 25.

  Based on the instruction information from the removal inhibition canceling unit 106, the removal prevention unit 102 permits removal from one ten thousand ticket cassette below the first threshold value, while maintaining removal restriction for the other two ten thousand ticket cassettes. To do.

  The storage suppression release unit 107 suppresses the storage of cash by the storage suppression unit 103 when it is determined by the suppression cassette second threshold determination unit 105 that the amount of cash stored for each cassette of all cassettes has reached the second threshold. Release the deterrence of storing cash in one of the cassettes that are being used. Thereby, the storage of the cash which makes the storage amount larger than a 2nd threshold value in the cassette which the cancellation | release was canceled is permitted.

  For example, if the deterrence cassette second threshold discriminating unit 105 determines that the storage amount of all the three ten thousand-ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 has reached the second threshold, the determination information is sent to the deterrence deterring unit 107. Send. Upon receipt of the determination information, the storage suppression release unit 107 transmits instruction information to the storage suppression unit 103 so as to release storage suppression for one of the three million-ticket cassettes.

  The storage suppression unit 103 permits storage exceeding the second threshold value in one ten thousand ticket cassette based on the instruction information from the storage suppression canceling unit 107, while maintaining the storage suppression for the other two ten thousand ticket cassettes. To do.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, only a part of the plurality of cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 constituting the cash cassette 16 accommodated in the automatic teller machine 1 is exchanged. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, all cassettes in which the amount of cash stored in the cassettes 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 is suppressed by the first threshold value (lower limit value) and the second threshold value (upper limit value) are suppressed. When the storage amount of each cassette reaches the first threshold value or the second threshold value, the removal suppression or storage suppression of one cassette is released. Therefore, the cash storage amount is maintained in the threshold value of the cassettes that are not deterred while the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 performs the transaction of cash. And the cassette in which the storage amount of cash is in the state of those threshold values can be used as a cassette for exchange of the cassette of other cash automatic transaction devices.

Specifically, when a new cassette is installed by replacing a cassette stored in an excessively charged cash transaction apparatus, it may be withdrawn even if it is excessively charged. It is preferable that a predetermined amount of cash is left, not an empty state.
For this purpose, an initial value of the amount of cash stored in a cassette newly attached to an excessive cash automatic transaction apparatus is set as the first threshold value.
Thereby, after removing the cassette maintained in the state of the 1st threshold value in the automatic teller machine 1 as a replacement cassette, and removing the full cassette in the excessively charged automatic teller machine A cassette to be newly installed can be obtained.

Also, if you replace a cassette stored in an automatic cash transaction device with excessive withdrawals and install a new cassette, there is a possibility that even if there is excessive withdrawal, the new cassette will be full. It is preferable that there is a predetermined amount of free space instead of the above state.
For this purpose, an initial value of the amount of cash stored in a cassette newly attached to an automatic cash transaction apparatus with excessive withdrawal is set as the second threshold value.
Thereby, the cassette maintained in the state of the second threshold value in the automatic teller machine 1 was removed as a replacement cassette, and the empty cassette in the excessive cash dispenser was removed. The cassette can be newly attached later.

  For this reason, for example, when there is an empty or full cassette in a plurality of cassettes of other automatic teller machines, the person in charge of replacing the cassette first has the stored amount from the automatic teller machine 1 in the threshold state. Remove the cassette and replace it with a new cassette. Next, the person in charge of the exchange removes the empty or full cassette from the other automatic teller machine, replaces it with a cassette with the previously removed storage amount being the threshold state, and collects only the empty or full cassette. To do.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state of diversion of a cassette in which the amount of stored cash is the first threshold value.
FIG. 7A shows the state of the cash cassette 16 as the transfer source, where the removal suppression of the ten thousand ticket cassette 21 is canceled by the removal suppression releasing unit 106 and the suppression of the removal of the ten thousand ticket cassettes 23 and 24 is maintained. ing.
The ten thousand-ticket cassettes 23 and 24 whose storage amount is the first threshold due to the maintenance of the removal restraint are diverted to full cassettes among the transfer destination cash cassettes shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C. Is done.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state of diversion of a cassette in which the amount of stored cash is the second threshold value.
FIG. 8A shows the transfer-source cash cassette 16, in which the storage deterrence unit 107 cancels the storage deterrence of the 10,000-note cassette 21 and maintains the storage deterrence of the 10,000-ticket cassettes 23 and 24. ing.
The ten thousand-note cassettes 23 and 24 whose storage amount is the second threshold due to the storage restraint being maintained are diverted to empty cassettes among the transfer destination cash cassettes shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C. Is done.

Thus, according to this embodiment, a partial cassette can be diverted between a plurality of automatic teller machines, and the cassette to be diverted is troublesome to bring it back to the cash center that conducts a cash scrutiny of the cassette. Can be omitted.
Therefore, according to this embodiment, the transport efficiency of the cassette between a cash center and the installation location of a some cash automatic transaction apparatus can be improved more.

Note that the present embodiment can be variously modified and applied.
For example, the transfer destination cassette may not be empty or full, and may be in a state close to being empty or nearly full.

Specifically, when there are a plurality of automatic teller machines 1 according to the present embodiment in the district in charge of the person in charge of exchange, and there are an automatic withdrawal apparatus 1 with excessive withdrawals and an automatic transaction apparatus 1 with excessive payments Alternatively, the cassette in the first threshold state of the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 with excessive withdrawal and the cassette in the second threshold state of the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 with excessive payment may be exchanged.
In that case, there is no need to collect the cassette and transport it to the cash center.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1 is performing both taking out the cash from the cash cassette 16, and storing the cash to the cash cassette 16.
However, the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 may be an automatic cash transaction apparatus dedicated to withdrawal or depositing that performs either one of taking out cash from the cash cassette 16 and storing cash in the cash cassette 16.

  For example, when the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 is dedicated to withdrawal, the automatic cash transaction control unit 37 in FIG. 4 includes a cash withdrawal unit 111, a withdrawal suppression unit 102, a suppression cassette first threshold value determination unit 104, and a withdrawal suppression. What is necessary is just to provide the cancellation | release part 106. FIG.

  When the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 is dedicated to depositing, the automatic cash transaction control unit 37 in FIG. 4 includes a cash storage unit 112, a storage suppression unit 103, a suppression cassette second threshold value determination unit 105, and a storage suppression cancellation. The unit 107 may be provided.

[Application example]
In the first embodiment, the case has been described where the suppression of one cassette is canceled from among a plurality of cassettes to be suppressed by the removal suppression cancellation unit 106 and the storage suppression cancellation unit 107 in FIG. The cassette suppression may be released sequentially.
Therefore, a case where the suppression is sequentially released will be described as an application example of the first embodiment.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the automatic teller machine 1 in the application example.
As shown in FIG. 9, in addition to the configuration shown in FIG. 4, the automatic cash transaction apparatus 1 has a release cassette empty determination unit 121 and a release as a functional configuration realized by the processing of the automatic cash transaction control unit 37. A cassette full determination unit 122 is provided. The description of the configuration already described in FIG. 4 is omitted.

The release cassette empty discriminating unit 121 discriminates whether or not the cassette whose inhibition is released by the removal inhibition releasing unit 106 is empty.
Further, the release cassette full determination unit 122 determines whether or not the amount of cash stored in the cassette whose suppression is canceled by the storage suppression cancellation unit 107 is full.

  Specifically, the release cassette empty determination unit 121 and the release cassette full determination unit 122 make a determination based on the detection information acquired from the storage amount detection unit 43, and the determination results are respectively taken out from the removal suppression release unit 106 and the storage suppression release. To the unit 107.

  When the release cassette empty discriminating unit 121 determines that the cassette is empty, the withdrawal suppression release unit 106 takes out the cash from one of the cassettes whose withdrawal is still inhibited by the withdrawal suppression unit 102. Release the suppression. Thereby, it is permitted to take out cash from the cassette whose deterrence has been released so that the amount stored is less than the first threshold value.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the removal suppression is sequentially released by the removal suppression release unit 106.
FIG. 10A shows that the storage cassette first threshold determination unit 104 determines that all the storage amounts of the three banquet cassettes 21, 23, and 24 to be suppressed have reached the first threshold, and the removal suppression release unit. 106 shows a state in which the removal of the 10,000-ticket cassette 21 is canceled.

  From this state, for example, when the release cassette empty determination unit 121 determines that the ten thousand ticket cassette 21 has been emptied due to excessive withdrawals, the take-out deterrent release unit 106 determines that the take-out deterrence canceling unit 106 still maintains the removal deterrence. Release the deterrence of taking out 1 million ticket cassette. For example, the take-out inhibition releasing unit 106 gives priority to the ten thousand ticket cassette that is away from the reject cassette 25, and releases the ten thousand ticket cassette 23 from being deterred as shown in FIG.

Next, when the ten thousand ticket cassette 23 is also emptied, the removal inhibition releasing unit 106 cancels the removal inhibition of the remaining ten thousand ticket cassette 24 as shown in FIG.
And when the automatic teller machine 1 has excessive withdrawal, as shown in FIG.10 (d), all the 10,000 ticket cassettes 21, 23, and 24 become empty.

  In this way, by sequentially canceling the removal suppression, it is possible to continue operating the automatic teller machine 1 while securing as many cassettes whose storage amount is in the state of the first threshold as much as possible.

  Returning to FIG. 9, when the release cassette full determination unit 122 determines that the amount of cash stored in the cassette is full, the storage suppression release unit 107 stores the cash that has not been stored by the storage suppression unit 103 yet. Release the deterrence of storing cash in one of these cassettes. Thereby, the storage of the cash which makes the storage amount larger than a 2nd threshold value in the cassette which the cancellation | release was canceled is permitted.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state in which storage suppression is sequentially released by the storage suppression release unit 107.
In FIG. 11A, the deterring cassette second threshold discriminating unit 105 determines that all the storage amounts of the three ten thousand ticket cassettes 21, 23, 24 to be deterred have reached the second threshold, and the deterring deterring release unit 107 shows that the storage suppression of the ten thousand ticket cassette 21 is released.

  From this state, for example, when the release cassette full determination unit 122 determines that the ten thousand ticket cassette 21 is full due to excessive payment, the storage deterrence canceling unit 107 sets the ten thousand ticket cassettes 23 and 24 for which the storage deterrence is still maintained. Release the deterrence of storing one of our 10,000-ticket cassettes. For example, the storage suppression release unit 107 releases the storage suppression of the ten thousand ticket cassette 23 as shown in FIG. 11 (b), giving priority to the ten thousand ticket cassette that is distant from the reject cassette 25.

Next, when the ten thousand ticket cassette 23 is also full, the storage inhibition canceling unit 107 cancels the storage suppression of the remaining ten thousand ticket cassette 24 as shown in FIG.
When the automatic teller machine 1 is excessively charged, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), all the ten thousand ticket cassettes 21, 23, 24 are full.

  In this way, by sequentially canceling the storage restraint, the automatic teller machine 1 can be kept operating while securing as many cassettes as possible with the storage amount being in the second threshold state.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the operation of emptying the cassette is executed only after the amount of cash stored in all cassettes of the plurality of cassettes storing the same denomination reaches the first threshold value (lower limit value). The

  Therefore, until the amount of cash stored in all cassettes reaches the first threshold, even if one cassette fails and cash cannot be taken in or out, any other cassette will Since the cash is stored, it can be said that the cash can be taken out, and it is a method of taking in and out of obstacles.

  In addition, as described in the first embodiment, it is possible to maintain a divertable cassette whose storage amount is at the first threshold value.

On the other hand, since empty cassettes are easy to scrutinize cash, there is a demand for making and collecting empty cassettes at an early stage.
Therefore, in the second embodiment of the present invention, an automatic cash transaction apparatus capable of preparing an empty cassette at an early stage while ensuring fault tolerance and diversion possibility will be described.

  The automatic teller machine according to the second embodiment is partially different from the automatic teller machine 1 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, only the different functions will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 9 in the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, when the cash withdrawal unit 101 (the cash withdrawal unit 111 and the cash storage unit 112) takes out cash from a plurality of target cassettes, the cash storage amount of the cassette in which the cash is stored is the largest. Take cash from a few cassettes. For example, the cash deposit / withdrawal unit 101 deposits / withdraws the cash in the cash cassette 16 in the above-described ordering mode.

  Here, the number of target cassettes is set to at least 3, and when the number of remaining cassettes in which the cash is stored is two, the take-out suppression unit 102 sets the cash storage amount for each of the two cassettes to the first threshold value. Suppress taking out less cash.

  In other words, in the second embodiment, the cash withdrawal unit 111 initially removes the cassettes by sequentially taking out the cash from the cassette having the least amount of cash storage without being inhibited by the withdrawal suppression unit 102. It will be empty. Then, when there are two cassettes in which cash is stored, the take-out restraining unit 102 performs the same take-out restraint as in the first embodiment.

Thereafter, the operation is the same as the operation of taking out the cash from the cash cassette 16 in the first embodiment.
That is, the suppression cassette first threshold determination unit 104 determines whether or not the amount of cash stored in each cassette has reached the first threshold for both of the two cassettes for which cash removal has been suppressed by the extraction suppression unit 102. .

  Then, when the deterring cassette first threshold discriminating unit 104 determines that the amount of cash stored in each of the two cassettes has reached the first threshold value, the take-out deterring canceling unit 106 selects one of the two cassettes. The deterrence of taking out cash from other cassettes.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state in which cash in the cash cassette 16 is taken in and out in the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In the case where the target cassette is the 10,000-ticket cassette 21, 23, 24, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the cash take-out unit 111 takes out the 10,000 yen bill from the 10,000-ticket cassette 24 with the smallest storage amount, and stores the cash. The unit 112 stores 10,000 yen bills in the 10,000-note cassette 21 having the largest storage capacity.

  At this time, there are three 000-ticket cassettes that store cash, and the remaining two are not. Therefore, taking out is not suppressed, and the 10,000-yen bill is taken out until the 10000-ticket cassette 24 is empty. On the other hand, the storage of the 10,000 yen bill in the 10,000 ticket cassette 21 is suppressed by the storage suppression unit 103 with the second threshold value as the upper limit value.

  When the 10,000-yen bill is removed, the ten thousand-ticket cassette 24 is emptied, and when the storage capacity of the ten-ticket cassette 21 reaches the second threshold value, as shown in FIG. 23 is used for taking out and storing the 10,000 yen bill by the cash withdrawal unit 111 and the cash storage unit 112.

  Here, if the automatic teller machine 1 is an automatic teller machine with excessive withdrawals, the storage amount of 10,000 yen bills in the 10,000-ticket cassette 23 decreases. At this point in time, since there are two 000-ticket cassettes in which cash is stored, the banquet cassettes 21 and 23 are the remaining two.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), when the storage amount of the 10,000 yen bill of the banknote cassette 23 reaches the first threshold value of the lower limit, the take-out suppressing unit 102 causes the 10,000 yen bill from the ticket cassette 23 to be removed. Next, the 10,000 yen bill is taken out from the 10,000-ticket cassette 21.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (d), when the storage amount of the 10,000 yen bill of the banknote cassette 21 reaches the first threshold, both the two banknote cassettes 21 and 23 are detected by the suppression cassette first threshold determination unit 104. It is determined that the storage amount has reached the first threshold value, and the removal suppression release unit 106 cancels the removal suppression from any of them.

  Here, for example, in the case where the suppression of taking out the ten thousand ticket cassette 21 is released, the ten thousand yen bill is continuously taken out from the ten thousand ticket cassette 21, and as shown in FIG. Become empty. In that case, the release cassette empty discriminating unit 121 (FIG. 9) determines that the banknote cassette 21 is empty, and the removal suppression release unit 106 cancels the removal suppression of the banknote cassette 23 that has been suppressed from being removed. .

  As a result, when the automatic teller machine 1 has excessive withdrawal, the 10,000-yen bill is taken out from the 10,000-note cassette 23, and as shown in FIG. Becomes empty.

  In the second embodiment described above, until the number of cassettes in which cash is stored becomes two, the removal is performed without providing the lower limit value (first threshold value) of the storage amount. The cassette can be emptied. And when the remaining number becomes two, in order to suppress taking out at the lower limit value, the state in which the cash is stored in the two cassettes is maintained for a long time, and it has fault tolerance and secures a divertable cassette. be able to.
