The RAM 15 includes an area for storing keyed-in account numbers, bankbook print lines and balances, an area used as a flag for storing pressed transaction setting keys, an area used as a flag for storing pressed function keys, An area (1 is the cursor position) for storing the next input line (cursor position) from the 2nd line to the 11th line on the display screen of the CRT 3, which will be described later, and a temporary storage mechanism 33 of the deposit machine 21. There are an area used as a temporary storage counter to count the number of banknotes stored in the bank, an area used as a register to store the cumulative total of cash discriminated in the cash counting process, a total area, and an area used as a group of registers. The register groups include the following: Here, R is an abbreviation for register, and IR indicates an auxiliary register for redo operation.

Transaction Setting R Stores the transaction keyed in using the transaction setting key. It is set by pressing the screen request key.

Transaction Setup IR Stores transactions keyed by the Transaction Setup key. It is set every time the transaction setting key is pressed.

Received amount R Stores the amount received from the customer. Every time the cash is discriminated by the deposit machine, the amount is added up, and the amount entered by the teller using the keyboard as teller stored cash is also added. The contents are cleared after the center communication.

Temporarily stored amount R The deposit machine identifies the amount and stores the temporarily stored amount. Every time the cash is recognized by the deposit machine, the amount is added. Cleared when temporarily stored cash is stored or returned.

Stored Amount R Stores the amount stored in the storage box when the temporary storage mechanism of the deposit machine becomes full. It is set when cash is stored before the center communication, and is cleared after the center communication or when the cash return key is pressed and the discharge of the stored amount of cash is completed.

Teller storage amount R Stores the amount of money collected by the teller. It is set when the teller enters the teller's deposit amount using a key and presses the enter key indicating completion of input, and is cleared after communication with the center.

Teller storage amount IR Memorizes the amount collected by the teller. This is a work register for correctly calculating the amount received.

Transaction amount R Stores the transaction amount in deposit/withdrawal transactions. It is set when the transaction amount is keyed in by the teller and the enter key is pressed, or when the transaction amount set key is pressed, and is cleared after communication with the center.

Receipt tally R Used to tally the amount of money correctly deposited by the deposit machine.

Teller storage tally R Used to tally the amount of money that the teller has successfully collected.

Special storage tally R When the cash return key is pressed and cash equivalent to the amount of stored cash is discharged from the dispensing machine, the amount of stored cash is totaled.

Special Discharge Total R When cash corresponding to the amount of stored cash is discharged from the dispensing machine by pressing the cash return key, the discharged amount is totaled.

The procedure of transaction processing using such a transaction processing device is shown in FIGS. 7 to 12. below,
Two examples will be explained where a customer deposits 600,000 yen into a savings account. The operations performed by the teller and the contents of each register in the first example are shown in FIG. In this figure, the customer may insert and remove banknotes. In the first example, the cash count key is not pressed.

The maximum number of banknotes (NS) that can be temporarily stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33 of the banknote deposit machine 21 is 50. Customers,
Fill in your account number, name, and deposit amount on the deposit slip, and submit this deposit slip, passbook, and cash.
Hand over 600,000 yen (60 10,000 yen bills) to the teller. Then, the teller performs the following transaction processing.

Referring to FIG. 7, an initial screen is displayed on the CRT 3 (step (101)). In this example,
Nothing is displayed on the initial screen. The teller first presses the "Normal" and "Deposit" keys to set up the transaction, so the answer is NO at step (102) and YES at step (103). Since the ordinary key has the fifth digit and the code number 1, and the deposit key has the first digit and the code number 9, the number representing the set transaction is 10009. This number is set in the trade setting IR (step (104)). Next, the teller presses the screen request key, so at step (102)
YES, the contents of the trading setting IR are transferred to the trading setting R (step (105)), and trading guidance is displayed on the CRT3.

An example of this trading guidance display is shown in FIG. The first digit displays the details of the set transaction. The 2nd to 11th lines are columns for displaying various transaction data, and step (106)
In , only these data items, such as the account number, characters in the passbook line (last printed line or line to be printed) (second line), and [ ] indicating the place where the data is displayed, are displayed, and the data is Not yet displayed. Additionally, a cursor (CU) is displayed in the lower right corner of the item in which data should be entered next. This cursor (CU) sequentially moves to the next data item to be input each time a data key is input. The 12th line is a message field.

While watching this display, the teller performs key input operations for data, operations for setting slips and bankbooks into the respective insertion slots 6 and 5 (steps (107) and (108)), and operations for setting cash, which will be described later. Each of these operations may be performed in any order, but the completion key is pressed last. When each operation is completed and the screen request key is not pressed again (step (109)), the input data is edited and transmitted to the center, and communication with the center is performed (step (110)). As will be clear from what will be described later, the screen request key is used as an input for canceling key-input data or resetting each operation. Therefore, if the screen request key is pressed (step (109)
(YES), the operation will be redone. The flag to remember that the screen request key has been pressed again is located in the RAM 15 as described above, and is executed at step (109).
Now check the contents of this flag.

The center records each customer's account number, name,
A customer-specific information file is provided that stores balances. When a message containing transaction data is transmitted from the transaction processing device, the center searches the file and checks the presence or absence of an account and other items to determine whether the transaction is possible. This result is then transmitted to the transaction processing device.

If trading is possible (step (111)
YES), number of transactions, total amount of each transaction, etc.
Totalizes in RAM 15 (step (112)), prints authentication on deposit slip (for example, prints transaction date, account number, etc.), prints transaction data on passbook (steps (113) (114)), and Performs various cash payment processes. After this, the tailor stores the printed slip as a copy, returns the passbook to the customer, and completes the transaction. If the transaction is not possible (step (111)
If NO), an error message is displayed on the CRT3 (step (115)), and if the confirmation key is pressed (step (116)), the process returns to step (106) and the data is displayed.
Key input operations, etc. will be redone. You may return to step (101) from step (116).

After displaying the guidance in step (106), the teller performs key input operations for account number, passbook line, and balance. Referring to FIG. 8, since the cursor (CU) is displayed at the account number location on the screen of the CRT 3, the teller first inputs the account number using the numeric keypad. (Step (121)).
Then, this entered account number will be displayed in [ ] (step (122)), and the RAM15 will be displayed.
(step (123)). This data key entry moves the cursor (CU) to the bankbook line, so the teller enters the bankbook line in the same way, and then enters the balance. These data are displayed on the CRT 3 (see FIG. 13) and stored in the RAM 15 (repetition of steps (121) to (123)). If these data are recorded on a magnetic stripe attached to the cover of the passbook, a magnetic stripe reader is placed inside the passbook insertion slot 5 and read by this stripe reader. It can also be displayed on CRT3.

When the above data input is completed, the cursor (CU)
has been moved to the transaction amount on the fourth line. In this example, the 600,000 yen (accepted amount) received from the customer and later inserted into the bill slot 7 matches the deposit amount (transaction amount). In such a case, the received amount is automatically set as the transaction amount by pressing the transaction amount set key as shown later, so there is no need to set the transaction amount. Conversely, if the transaction amount is not set, the received amount becomes the transaction amount. The teller then presses the enter key to skip keying in the transaction amount. When the enter key is pressed (YES at step (104)), check whether transaction amount data has been input (step (125)), and since no transaction amount has been input, proceed to step (126). Therefore, the process proceeds to step (127).Then, it is checked whether the teller deposit amount data has been input.Since the teller deposit amount has not been input, steps (128) to (130) are not performed.

If the received amount and the transaction amount do not match, or it is unclear whether they match (because the cash handed over is not counted), the teller keys in the transaction amount and presses the enter key. Then, this input transaction amount data is set as the transaction amount R (step (126)). In this case, change is generally calculated and released, but a description of that process will be omitted.

By skipping the transaction amount input, the cursor (CU) on the CRT3 screen is displayed at the required location on the 5th line. If there is no need to enter the required and value date data, the teller presses the enter key to skip these entries. If the starting date data is not entered, the date on which the transaction is conducted will be treated as the date. There is no need for the teller to input the received amount on the sixth line. The cursor (CU) moves to the teller storage amount on the 7th line.

In this example, the transaction amount set key is pressed last, but it will be explained here for convenience. When the transaction amount set key is pressed (step (131)), the contents of the received amount R are set to the transaction amount R (step (132)), and the transaction amount is displayed on the fourth line of the CRT 3 screen ( Step (133)).

The transaction type may be reset using the transaction setting key during the data key input operation. This occurs when the type of transaction is changed during the operation. When the transaction is reset (YES in step (134)), the configured transaction is set in the transaction setting IR (step (135)).

When re-entering data or after resetting a transaction (step (134)), the screen request key is pressed (step (136)). In this case, the fact that the screen request key was pressed is stored in the flag of the RAM 15, the transaction amount R is cleared (step (137)), and the contents of the transaction setting IR are transferred to and stored in the transaction setting R. (Step (138)), CRT3
View trading guidance. (Step (139)). After this process, step (109)
Since the answer is YES, each operation (at least data input operation) is re-performed. Steps (134) to (139) are the same as steps (102) to
This is almost the same process as (106).

The completion key is pressed when all operations are completed (step (140)).

The teller moves the cursor (CU) on the CRT 3 to the teller deposit amount on the 7th line and then performs a cash set operation. Referring to Figure 9, transaction settings R
Check whether the content is a deposit (step (151)), and if it is a deposit, open the shutter 41 of the bill deposit machine 21 slot 7 (the same applies to the coin deposit machine 23) to insert cash. (153)).
The teller manually closes the shutter 41 after inserting banknotes into the slot 7, so answer YES at step (154).
Therefore, since the answer is YES at step (155) and the cash counting key is not pressed, the answer is NO at step (156), and the process moves to cash storage processing.

Referring to FIG. 10, in the cash storage process, the banknotes inserted into the slot 7 are taken in one by one and judged by the discrimination device 32 (step (211)). As a result of the verification, if it is a genuine banknote (step (212))
(YES), checks whether the number of banknotes stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33 has reached the maximum number (NS) based on the contents of the temporary storage counter (step (213)), and the number of banknotes must have reached the maximum number (NS). Then, the verified banknotes are stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33 and the contents of the temporary storage counter are incremented by 1 (step (214)). Then, the amount of the verified banknote is added to the temporarily stored amount R and the accepted amount R (steps (215) and (216)), and it is checked whether there are any banknotes still in the slot 7 (step (217)). )).
If there are bills left in slot 7, proceed to step (211)
Returning to step 1, the banknotes are discriminated one by one in the same manner, temporarily stored, and the amount of each banknote is added to the temporarily stored amount R and the received amount R. Step (211)
After repeating steps (217) 50 times, the number of temporary storage sheets will reach (NS), so select YES in step (213).
The 51st bill is then returned to the return slot 8 through the second return path 36 (step (218)). Banknotes that cannot be determined to be genuine banknotes by the discrimination device 32 are also returned (steps (212) and (218)).

Since 60 bills have been inserted into the bill slot 7, when the number of bills returned to the return slot 8 reaches 10, there are no more bills left in the slot 7, and the answer at step (217) is NO, and the process continues. Proceed to (219).
In step (219), it is checked whether or not there are banknotes in the banknote return slot 8, and if there are banknotes, the shutter 42 is opened to wait for the return banknotes to be taken out (step (220)). When the returned banknotes are removed, check whether the number of temporarily stored banknotes is (NS) (step (221)). If it is (NS), a message is displayed on the 12th line of CRT3 indicating that the temporary storage is full. A message is displayed to the effect that the amount is 500,000 yen (step (222)). (See Figure 15). If the confirmation key is pressed (step (223)), the temporarily stored banknotes are stored in the storage box 34 (step (224)), and the contents of the temporarily stored amount R (500,000) are added to the stored amount R. The amount is added (step (225)), and the contents of the temporary storage amount R are cleared (step (226)). Thereafter, 500,000 yen is displayed as the received amount on the 6th line of the CRT 3 (step (227)) (see Figure 15), and the process returns to step (153) to open the shutter 41 of the input slot 7.

In FIG. 9, when the teller takes out 100,000 yen from return slot 8 and puts it into input slot 7 and closes shutter 41 (step (154)), step (155)
Since it is YES and NO at step (156),
Let's move on to the cash storage process again.

In the process shown in Figure 10, when the verification of 10 banknotes was completed, 9 banknotes (90,000 yen) could be identified as genuine banknotes, and 1 banknote (10,000 yen) could not be identified. ), the contents of the temporary storage amount R would be 90,000, and the contents of the received amount R would be 590,000.
One 10,000 yen bill has been returned to return slot 8. When it is detected that the banknotes in the banknote slot 7 are gone (NO in step (217)), the system waits until the banknotes in the return slot 8 are removed (steps (219) and (220)).
Since the number of banknotes temporarily stored is 9, the answer at step (221) is NO and the process proceeds to step (227), where the content of the received amount R of 590,000 is displayed on the 6th line of CRT3 (step (227)). (See Figure 16). Then, the process returns to step (153) and the shutter 41 of the input port 7 is opened.

After confirming that the 10,000 yen bill taken out from the return slot 8 is a genuine bill, the teller stores it in the teller bill storage box located next to the teller, and enters the amount stored by the teller using the keypad. Perform the operation.
In Figure 8, the cursor (CU) is displayed on the 7th line of the CRT 3, so when the teller enters 10,000 yen (step (121)), 10,000 yen will be displayed on the CRT 3 as the teller's deposit amount. (Step (122)) (see Figure 16). The processing in step (123) is not performed on the teller deposit amount data. The teller then presses the enter key, resulting in YES at step (124). Since the transaction amount data was not entered using the key, it is necessary to enter it in step (125).
If the answer is NO, proceed to step (127), and at this step (127), the answer becomes YES. Set the key-input teller deposit amount 10,000 yen to the teller deposit amount IR (step (128)), add the contents of the teller deposit amount IR to the contents of the received amount R, and subtract the contents of the teller deposit amount R. Then, calculate the new amount received (Step (129)). Then, the contents of the teller storage amount IR are transferred to the teller storage amount R (step (130)).
The reason why the contents of the teller's stored amount R is subtracted in step (129) is to prepare for rekeying the teller's stored amount. Once the teller storage amount is inputted using the key, steps (128) to (130) are carried out, and the keyed-in teller storage amount is finally set to the teller storage amount R (step (130)). Therefore, when the key input operation for the teller deposit amount is performed again, if the previously set teller deposit amount is subtracted, only the newly keyed teller deposit amount is added to the received amount.

The teller then presses the transaction amount set key, resulting in YES at step (131). The content of the received amount R is transferred to the transaction amount R (step (132)), and the transaction amount is displayed on the fourth line of the CRT 3 (step (133)) (see FIG. 16). The transaction amount transmitted to the center through center communication (step (110)) is the content of this transaction amount R.

In Fig. 9, steps (171), (173) and (181) are data key input processing (Fig. 8).
and cash set processing. As mentioned above, the screen request key is used when redoing the key input operation (step (136)), and the completion key is used when the key input operation is completed (at this time, the passbook, slip, and cash set processing has also been completed). ) (step (140)). and,
The fact that these keys have been pressed is stored in the RAM 15 as a flag. in step (171)
If YES, and NO in steps (155) and (157), proceed to step (180).
If YES in step (173), check whether there are banknotes in slot 7 (step (174)),
If there are no banknotes, the shutter 41 of the slot 7 will be automatically closed (step (175)), and the paper will be removed in step (157).
If the answer is NO, proceed to step (180).
If the cash return key is not pressed in step (180), the process advances to step (181) where YES is returned and the cash setting process ends.

The cash return key is pressed to request the return of banknotes stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33 and banknotes stored in the storage box 34 because the temporary storage mechanism 33 is full. If YES in steps (172) and (180), proceed to step (191). If YES in step (177), check whether there are banknotes in the slot 7 (step (178)), and if there are no banknotes, release the shutter 41 of the slot 7.
Close it (step (179)) and proceed to step (191).

In step (191), it is checked from the output signal of the stored banknote detector 51 whether or not banknotes are stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33, and if there are banknotes stored, it is checked.
A message indicating that the cash is to be returned is displayed on the 12th line of the CRT 3 (step (192)), and the stored banknotes are conveyed to the return slot 8 via the first return path 35 (step (193)). When the banknote is removed (step (194)), the contents of the temporarily stored amount R are subtracted from the contents of the received amount R (step (195)), and the contents of the temporarily stored amount R are cleared (step (196)). After this, if NO at step (191), the process proceeds to step (197) to check whether the contents of the collected amount R are 0. If the stored amount is 0, the cash return process ends.

When the temporary storage mechanism 33 becomes full, the temporarily stored banknotes are stored in the storage box 34, and the stored amount is stored in the stored amount R (steps (221) to
(225)). If the collected amount is not 0, the CRT3
A message to the effect that cash is to be dispensed is displayed on line 12 (step (198)), and the stored amount of banknotes is discharged by the banknote dispensing machine 24 (step (199)). Then, when the banknotes from the banknote discharge port 9 are removed (step (200)), the contents of the stored amount R are subtracted from the contents of the received amount R (step (201)), and the special storage total R and special discharge total R are The content of the stored amount R is added to each content (steps (202) and (203)), the stored amount R is cleared (step (204)), and the cash return process is completed.

The above-mentioned cash setting process (FIG. 9) and cash storing process (FIG. 10) are explained using the process for banknotes as an example, but the process for coins,
It goes without saying that processing using both banknotes and coins is carried out in exactly the same way.

FIG. 12 shows the procedure for cash payment processing.
If the content of transaction setting R is a deposit (YES at step (250)), the content of the storage summary R is the deposited amount R.
and the contents of the temporary storage amount R (step (251)), the contents of the teller storage amount R are added to the contents of the teller storage total R (step (252)), and the received amount R,
The transaction amount R, stored amount R, temporarily stored amount R, and teller stored amount R are cleared (step (253). Then, if there are banknotes in the temporary storage mechanism 33, they are stored in the storage box 34 (step (254) ) (255)), and finally clears the transaction amount R (step (258)). In the case of withdrawal (YES in step (256)), a predetermined amount of cash is released by the withdrawal machine 22, 24, etc. (Step (257)) and move to Step (258).For transactions other than deposits and withdrawals, proceed to (Step (256)).
(NO), then finish the process.

In the second example, the cash count key on the keyboard 4 is pressed. The operations performed by the teller and the contents of each register in the second example are shown in FIG. The customer hands the teller the deposit slip, bankbook, and 600,000 yen in cash with the required information filled out.
The teller's transaction settings, pressing of the screen request key, and key input operations for account number, passbook line, and balance are the same as in the first example.

After operating these keys, the teller presses the cash counting key, inserts 600,000 yen in cash into the slot 7, and closes the shutter 41. Referring to FIG. 9, shutter 41 is closed (YES at step (154)) and there is cash in slot 7 (step (155)).
YES), and if the cash counting key is further pressed (YES in step (156)), the process moves to cash discrimination counting processing.

Referring to FIG. 11, in the cash discrimination counting process,
The banknotes in the input slot 7 are taken in one by one and passed to the discrimination device 32.
If the banknote is a regular banknote (step (232)), the banknote is returned to the return slot 8 via the second return path 36 (step (233)). This banknote discrimination and return process is repeated until there are no banknotes in the input slot 7 (step (234).For banknotes that the validation device 32 cannot distinguish from regular banknotes, the temporary storage mechanism 33 is full (( NS)
(step (238)), it is stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33 (step (239)). When all the banknotes in the input slot 7 have been verified, it is checked whether there are any banknotes in the return slot 8 (step (235)), and if there are banknotes, the shutter 42 is opened.
When the teller removes the cash (step (236)), the cumulative total of cash is displayed on the 12th line of the CRT 3 (step (237)), as shown in FIG. In this example, up to 58 of the 60 10,000 yen bills are identified as genuine bills, and the remaining two are stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33.

With this, the cash discrimination and counting process is completed, and the process returns to step (153). When the opened shutter 41 is closed again by the teller (step (154)), there is no cash in the slot 7, so the process moves from step (155) to step (157). Since the cash counting key has already been pressed, YES is returned at step (157). Since two banknotes are stored in the temporary storage mechanism 33 (YES in step (158)), a message indicating that the defective cash will be returned is displayed on the CRT 3 (step (159)).
(See Figure 17), temporarily stored cash is returned to the first return route 31.
, return it to the return slot 8, and open the shutter 42 (step (160)). When the teller removes the returned bill (step (161)), the process shown in FIG. 9 ends.

In FIG. 11, if the temporary storage mechanism 33 becomes full of bad cash that could not be identified, although this is almost impossible in reality, (step (238)
After emptying the return slot 8 (steps (240) and (241)), display the cumulative total of classified cash and the fact that bad cash will be returned on the CRT 3 (step (242)).
(243)) (see FIG. 17), and returns the temporarily stored defective cash to the return slot 8 through the first return path 31 (step (244)). After the teller removes the cash from the return slot 8 (step (245)), if there is cash in the input slot 7, the process returns to step (231), and if there is no cash, the process ends.

The teller has 580,000 yen of legitimate banknotes (Step (236)) and 20,000 yen of defective banknotes (Step (161)) that he pulled out from return slot 8. When the teller confirms that the defective banknotes of 20,000 yen are genuine banknotes, he stores a total of 600,000 yen in banknotes in the teller banknote storage box and performs a key input operation for the teller stored amount. Referring to Figure 8, the cursor (CU) is displayed on the 7th line of the CRT3, so if the teller enters 600,000 yen (step (121)), the teller will receive 600,000 yen.
Ten thousand yen is displayed (step (122)) (see Figure 17). Teller then presses the enter key.
Moving from step (124) to (128), set 600,000 yen to the teller collection amount IR, then transfer 600,000 yen to the received amount R and the teller collection amount R (steps (129) and (130)) ). The teller then presses the transaction amount set key (step (131)), and 600,000 yen is transferred to the transaction amount R (step (132)).
The transaction amount of 600,000 yen is displayed on the CRT3 (step (133)) (see Figure 17). As described above, the deposit transaction is performed based on the contents of the transaction amount R. In the payment process shown in Figure 12, the teller storage amount R of 600,000 yen is the teller storage amount R.
is added to the contents of (step (252)).

In the above example, only the handling of banknotes is explained, but it goes without saying that the present invention is also applicable to the case where the coin deposit machine shown in FIG. 4 is used.

As described above, according to the present invention, by pressing the cash discrimination and counting selection key, the function of the cash deposit machine can be reduced to only discrimination and counting of cash.
It is possible to handle more cash than the maximum amount that can be stored in the temporary storage facility. Moreover, since the cash determined to be legitimate cash is returned to the return slot and the cumulative total of legitimate cash is displayed, the teller can omit inspecting and counting the cash. The teller should store the returned cash in the storage box.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, defective cash that cannot be distinguished from legitimate cash by the identification device is temporarily stored in the temporary storage mechanism. After the legitimate cash returned to the return slot is removed, a message indicating that the defective cash has been returned is displayed on the display, and the defective cash in the temporary storage mechanism is returned to the return slot. In this way, bad cash is returned separately from legitimate cash, and since the return of bad cash is displayed on the display, the teller can recognize bad cash without confusing it with legitimate cash. , the authenticity and denomination of bad cash can be quickly and reliably determined.
