Then, reject coins that are not subject to processing or cannot be identified are sorted by the deposit reject coin sorting unit and sent to the deposit reject box 115. Since the deposit reject box 115 containing such reject coins can be pulled out from the casing 111, the operator pulls out the deposit reject box 115 from the casing 111 to remove the reject coins of the rose coin processing unit 110. It can be taken out from the housing 111.

  Then, the operator inserts the reject coin taken out of the casing 111 of the loose coin processing unit 110 into the coin processing apparatus 10 (STEP 1). Specifically, first, the depositing port 20 is opened by sliding the depositing door 21 that closes the depositing port 20 of the coin processing apparatus 10 in the horizontal direction manually or automatically. Then, the operator places the reject coin through the deposit port 20 at the deposit position 24 inside the housing 12 on the coin receiving unit 22. When the reject coin is placed at the deposit position 24 on the coin receiving unit 22, the reject coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60. As a result, the image data (second image data) of the reject coin is acquired by the imaging camera 60 (STEP 2).

  When image data (second image data) of rejected coins is acquired by the imaging camera 60 in the coin processing apparatus 10, the comparison unit 194 is acquired by the identification unit 133 provided in the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. The image data (first image data) of the rejected coin and the image data (second image data) of the coin acquired by the imaging camera 60 provided in the coin processing device 10 are compared (STEP 3). Such comparison of the image data by the comparison means 194 may be automatically performed or may be manually performed. Further, the comparison of the image data by the comparison unit 194 may be performed each time a coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing apparatus 10, or the comparison unit 194 may be the teller machine 100. Image data (first image data) of a plurality of reject coins acquired by the identification unit 133 provided in the rose coin processing unit 110 and a plurality of coins acquired by the imaging camera 60 provided in the coin processing device 10. The image data (second image data) may be compared at a time. Hereinafter, when the comparison unit 194 automatically compares the image data of the both, and each time the coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10, the comparison unit 194 compares the image data of both. Will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the comparison unit 194 includes a reject coin related to image data (first image data) acquired by the identification unit 133 provided in the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100, and the coin processing device 10. A determination unit 196 that automatically determines whether or not the coins related to the image data (second image data) acquired by the imaging camera 60 are the same. When the comparing unit 194 determines that the former reject coin and the latter coin are the same (“YES” in STEP 4), information relating to the coin is stored in the coin processing device 10. Is stored in the storage unit 86 (STEP 5). Specifically, when image data (second image data) of rejected coins is acquired by the imaging camera 60 in the coin processing device 10, a coin monetary amount selection screen is displayed on the display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10. Become so. When the operator selects one amount from the choices of the amount of coins displayed on the display unit 84 using the operation unit 82, the control unit 80 uses the image data of the coins acquired by the imaging camera 60 and the operation. Input data by the unit 82 (specifically, information related to the amount of coins) is linked. Then, the control unit 80 of the coin processing device 10 causes the storage unit 86 to store information related to the image data and input data of the associated coins. When the comparison unit 194 determines that both coins are the same (“YES” in STEP 4), instead of storing information related to the coins in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10, Or in addition to memorize | storing the information which concerns on this coin in the memory | storage part 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10, the information which concerns on the said coin may be memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 192 of the teller machine 100. FIG.

  Further, when the comparing unit 194 determines that the former reject coin and the latter coin are the same (“YES” in STEP 4), the operator operates the operation unit in the coin processing device 10. When the amount of coins is input by 82, the control unit 80 rotates the deposit distribution gate 30 around the shaft 32 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 4, and the reject coin at the deposit position 24 on the coin receiving unit 22 The deposit distribution gate 30 causes the transfer belt to drop on the debris conveyor belt 40. In addition, the control unit 80 performs control so as to circulate and move the lossy conveyor belt 40 in the right direction in FIGS. 4 and 5. As a result, the reject coins that have fallen on the loss-conveying belt 40 are conveyed to the right in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 by the loss-conveying belt 40. (The right end portion in FIGS. 4 and 5) is temporarily held. In addition, reject coins that are temporarily held in the back of the lossy conveyor belt 40 are detected by the residual detection sensor 41 installed on the back side of the lossy conveyor belt 40.

  And after all the reject coins discharged | emitted from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are thrown in in the housing | casing 12 of the coin processing apparatus 10, and temporarily hold | maintained on the conveyance belt 40 for coins, an operator Inputs a deposit confirmation command or a return command to the control unit 80 by the operation unit 82. When a deposit confirmation command is input to the control unit 80 by the operation unit 82, the control unit 80 performs control to circulate and move the lossy conveyor belt 40 in the left direction in FIG. 4. Further, the control unit 80 rotates the loss branching claw 44 about the shaft 45 in the clockwise direction from the position shown in FIG. 5 so that the loss branching claw 44 advances onto the loss conveyance belt 40. The branching claw drive motor 48 is controlled so as to cause it to move. Accordingly, the coins temporarily held in the back of the lossy conveyor belt 40 are conveyed in the leftward direction in FIG. 5 as the lossy conveyor belt 40 circulates in the leftward direction in FIG. 5. Sometimes, the coins on the debris transport belt 40 fall to the side of the debris transport belt 40 by the debris branching claws 44 (specifically, the coins are transported in the debris transport belt 40 in FIG. 5). 5 is moved upward by FIG. 5 from the front end portion of the coins by the loss branching claw 44) and stored in the loss box 52.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the comparing unit 194 determines that the coins related to the image data are the same (“YES” in STEP 4), the information related to the coins is stored. When stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10 or the storage unit 192 of the teller machine 100 (STEP 5), the number of coins stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10 or the storage unit 192 of the teller machine 100 is Whether or not it matches the number of reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 is determined by the main body control unit 102 of the teller machine 100 (or the control unit 80 of the coin processing device 10) (STEP 6). ). If the number of the coins coincides with each other, the main body control unit 102 of the teller machine 100 (or the control unit 80 of the coin handling apparatus 10) recognizes the reject coins discharged from the loose coin handling unit 110 of the teller machine 100 as a coin. It is determined that the processing apparatus 10 has been properly charged. On the other hand, when the number of coins stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10 or the storage unit 192 of the teller machine 100 is smaller than the number of reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110, the teller machine 100. Since all the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 are considered not to be put into the coin processing apparatus 10, a warning is displayed to the operator on the display unit 181 or the like of the operation terminal 180. Specifically, a warning message that all the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are not put into the coin processing apparatus 10 is displayed on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 or the like. Become. Further, when the number of coins stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10 or the storage unit 192 of the teller machine 100 is larger than the number of reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110, the teller machine 100. The coins other than the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 have been accidentally inserted into the coin processing device 10 or the coin processing device 10 can receive commemorative coins or the like regardless of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. Since it is considered that special money has been inserted, in this case as well, a warning is displayed to the operator on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 or the like.

  Further, when a coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10, when the comparing unit 194 determines that the coins related to the two image data are not the same (STEP 4). "NO"), information relating to coins imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10 (specifically, image data of coins acquired by the imaging camera 60 and coin money input by the operation unit 82) A selection screen as to whether or not to store the data on the seed in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10 is displayed on the display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10. When the operator selects the information related to the coin in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10 by the operation unit 82 of the coin processing device 10 (“YES” in STEP 7), the information related to the coin Is stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10 (STEP 8). Here, in the case where the comparing unit 194 determines that the coins related to the two image data are not the same, the comparing unit 194 is not a reject coin discharged from the bulk coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. It is conceivable that a coin is erroneously inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 or a special currency such as a commemorative coin is inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 regardless of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. This is because it is desirable to store information related to the coin imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10 in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10. Further, in this case, the coin at the deposit position 24 on the coin receiving unit 22 is dropped on the commemorative coin transport belt 42 by the deposit sorting gate 30 in the coin processing device 10, so that the coin is stored in the commemorative coin box. 54.

  On the other hand, when the comparison unit 194 determines that the coins related to the two image data are not the same (“NO” in STEP 4), the information related to the coin is stored in the coin processing device 10. If the operator selects not to store in the unit 86 by the operation unit 82 of the coin processing apparatus 10 (“NO” in STEP 7), the coin is not drawn out into the housing 12 of the coin processing apparatus 10 ( In other words, the deposit distribution gate drive motor 34 is not driven by the control unit 80), and is taken out from the deposit position 24 on the coin receiving unit 22 by the operator (STEP 9). As described above, when the comparing unit 194 determines that the coins related to the two image data are not the same, the reject coins discharged from the bulk coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are used. It is conceivable that coins other than the coins are mistakenly inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 or special coins such as commemorative coins are inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 regardless of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. In the former case, it is not necessary to store information relating to the coin in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10. In the former case, since it is not necessary to store such a coin in the loss box 52 of the coin processing device 10, the coin is taken out from the coin processing device 10 by the operator.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the control part 80 of the coin processing apparatus 10 can discriminate | determine whether the said coin is a normal circulation coin based on the image data of the coin imaged with the imaging camera 60. FIG. You may be able to. In this case, when the comparing unit 194 determines that the coins related to the image data are not the same (“NO” in STEP 4), the coin is not a normal circulation coin. And the control unit 80, it is considered that special coins such as commemorative coins have been inserted into the coin processing device 10 regardless of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. You may make it memorize | store automatically in the memory | storage part 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10, or you may enable it to select whether it memorize | stores in the memory | storage part 86 now. On the other hand, when the comparing unit 194 determines that the coins related to the image data are not the same (“NO” in STEP 4), the control unit determines that the coin is a normal circulation coin. 80, it is considered that a coin other than the reject coin discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 (that is, a normal coin) is erroneously inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10. Information related to coins is not stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10. In this case, the control unit 80 does not drive the deposit distribution gate drive motor 34 so that the coin is not stored in the loss box 52 or the commemorative coin box 54. Further, in this case, a warning message indicating that a coin other than the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 has been erroneously inserted into the coin processing device 10 is displayed on the display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10. It will be displayed.

  Until the coin deposit processing is completed in the bulk coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 and all the reject coins discharged from the bulk coin processing unit 110 are put into the coin processing apparatus 10 (“NO” in STEP 10), The operations according to STEP 1 to STEP 9 are repeatedly performed. Then, when the coin depositing process is completed in the bulk coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 and all the reject coins discharged from the bulk coin processing unit 110 are inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 (“YES” in STEP 10). The coin deposit processing in the money management system 1 of the present embodiment is completed.

  According to the money management system 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above and the money management method using such a money management system 1, the rose coin processing unit 110 (first coin processing apparatus) of the teller machine 100 The first image data of the rejected coin acquired by the identification unit 133 is compared with the second image data of the coin acquired by the imaging camera 60 (imaging unit) of the coin processing device 10 (second coin processing device). Comparison means 194 is provided. In this way, when an operation is performed in which the coins discharged as reject coins from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are input to the coin processing device 10, the identification of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 is performed. By comparing the first image data of the rejected coin acquired by the unit 133 with the second image data of the coin acquired by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing apparatus 10, the rose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 is compared. It becomes possible to strictly manage whether or not the rejected coins are thrown into the coin processing apparatus 10.

  In the above description, the example in which the comparison unit 194 for comparing the first image data and the second image data is provided in the teller machine 100 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to such an example. As another example, a comparison unit 194 that compares the first image data and the second image data may be provided in the coin processing apparatus 10 instead of the teller machine 100.

  In the money management system 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the comparison unit 194 determines whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same. A determination unit 196 that automatically determines is included. In this case, the comparison unit 194 can automatically determine whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same by the determination unit 196. Become. Note that in the comparison means according to the modification of the present embodiment, instead of automatically determining whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same, it is manually performed. It may be discriminated by. In this case, the comparison means includes the display unit 181 and the operation unit 182 of the operation terminal 180, and when the coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10, the coin processing of the teller machine 100 is performed. The first image data of the rejected coin acquired by the identification unit 133 of the unit 110 and the second image data of the coin acquired by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10 are displayed on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180, respectively. It becomes like this. In addition, the operator can input an instruction as to whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same through the operation unit 182 of the operation terminal 180. That is, the operation unit 182 of the operation terminal 180 functions as an instruction receiving unit that receives an instruction as to whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same. Further, the comparison means according to yet another modified example may include an operation unit 82 and a display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10. In this case, when the coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing apparatus 10, the first image data of the reject coin acquired by the identification unit 133 of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100, and the coin processing The second image data of the coins acquired by the imaging camera 60 of the device 10 is displayed on the display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10, respectively. In addition, the operator can input an instruction as to whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same by the operation unit 82 of the coin processing apparatus 10. . That is, the operation unit 82 of the coin processing device 10 functions as an instruction receiving unit that receives an instruction as to whether or not the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same. .

  Moreover, in the money management system 1 of this Embodiment, as above-mentioned, the comparison means 194 is 1st image data and 2nd image data, whenever a coin is imaged with the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing apparatus 10. FIG. It comes to compare. That is, the coins inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 are compared one by one by the comparison means 194, and when the image data of both coincides, information related to the coin is stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10. It becomes like this.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the comparison unit is limited to a unit that compares the first image data and the second image data each time a coin is imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing apparatus 10. There is nothing. As the comparison means according to the modified example, one that compares a plurality of first image data and a plurality of second image data at a time may be used. Specifically, after all the coins discharged as rejected coins from the coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are put into the coin processing apparatus 10, the coins are acquired by the identification unit 133 of the coin handling unit 110 of the teller machine 100. The first image data of all rejected coins and the second image data of all coins acquired by the imaging camera 60 of the coin processing device 10 are respectively displayed on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 and the display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10. Will be displayed. At this time, among the second image data displayed on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 and the display unit 84 of the coin processing device 10, the reject coins discharged from the bulk coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. A mark or the like may be attached to those that substantially match the first image data so that the operator can easily compare the image data. Then, the operator associates each first image data and each second image data with the operation unit 182 of the operation terminal 180 or the operation unit 82 of the coin processing apparatus 10, so that the reject coin and the first image data are associated with the first image data. It becomes possible to link the coins related to the two image data. In this way, only the information related to the coins associated with the first image data and the second image data can be stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10. In addition, for coins that have not been associated with the first image data and the second image data, it is possible to select whether or not information related to the coins is to be stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10. It may be.

  Further, in the case where the comparison unit according to the modification that compares the plurality of first image data and the plurality of second image data at once is used, the reject coins discharged from the bulk coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are used. The number of sheets and the number of coins inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 may be compared. When the number of the two coins coincides, the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 in the main body control unit 102 of the teller machine 100 or the control unit 80 of the coin processor 10 are transferred to the coin processor 10. It is judged that it was properly input. On the other hand, when the number of reject coins discharged from the coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 is larger than the number of coins input to the coin processing apparatus 10, the coins are discharged from the coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. Since it is considered that all the rejected coins are not inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10, a warning is displayed to the operator on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 or the like. Specifically, a warning message that all the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are not put into the coin processing apparatus 10 is displayed on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 or the like. Become. Further, when the number of reject coins discharged from the coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 is smaller than the number of coins input to the coin processing apparatus 10, the coins are discharged from the coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. This is because it is considered that a coin other than the rejected coin has been mistakenly inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 or that special coins such as commemorative coins have been inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 regardless of the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. Also in this case, a warning is displayed to the operator on the display unit 181 of the operation terminal 180 or the like.

  In the money management system 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, when it is determined that the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same, Such information is stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10 (see STEP 5 in FIG. 12). In addition, as described above, in addition to the information related to the coin being stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10, or in addition to the information related to the coin being stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing device 10. Thus, information relating to the coin may be stored in the storage unit 192 of the teller machine 100.

  In this case, the number of coins stored in the storage unit 86 of the coin processing apparatus 10 and the storage unit 192 of the teller machine 100 matches the number of reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. Is determined (see STEP 6 in FIG. 12).

  In the money management system 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when it is determined that the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are not the same, It is possible to select whether or not to store such information in the storage unit 86 or the like of the coin processing apparatus 10 (see STEP 7 in FIG. 12).

  In the money management system 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when it is determined that the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are not the same, the coin processing When the coin imaged by the imaging camera 60 of the apparatus 10 is a normal circulation coin, the coin is not stored in the loss box 52 or the commemorative coin box 54 (storage unit) of the coin processing apparatus 10. . Specifically, the control unit 80 of the coin processing device 10 can determine whether or not the coin is a normal circulation coin based on the image data of the coin imaged by the imaging camera 60. When the comparison means 194 determines that the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are not the same, the control is performed such that the coin is a normal circulation coin. When it is determined by the unit 80, since it is considered that coins other than the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 are erroneously inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10, the control unit 80 distributes the money. By not driving the gate drive motor 34, the coin is prevented from being stored in the loss box 52 or the commemorative box 54. In this case, as described above, a warning message indicating that a coin other than the reject coins discharged from the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100 has been erroneously inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10 is displayed. May be displayed on the display unit 84.

  In addition, as described above, the coin processing apparatus 10 is provided with the loss coin box 52 and the commemorative coin box 54 as storage units, so that the storage unit is partitioned into a plurality of regions. Then, the coin related to the case where the reject coin related to the first image data and the coin related to the second image data are the same and the coin related to the case where they are not the same are stored in different regions in the storage unit. It is supposed to let you. Specifically, for the coins inserted into the coin processing device 10, the coins related to the case where the reject coins related to the first image data and the coins related to the second image data are the same are stored in the loss box 52. The On the other hand, regarding the coins inserted into the coin processing apparatus 10, the coins in which the reject coins related to the first image data and the coins related to the second image data are not the same are related to the loose coin processing unit 110 of the teller machine 100. Instead, it is stored in the commemorative coin box 54 as special money such as commemorative coins inserted into the coin processing device 10.

  In addition, the money management system by this Embodiment and the money management method by such a money management system are not limited to the above aspects, A various change can be added.

  As the money management system according to the modified example, a system provided with a management device 300 that manages the coin processing device 10 and the cashier 100 in addition to the coin processor 10 and the cashier 100 may be used.
