Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the exchange to the small denomination notes from the large denomination ones and vice versa in a circulation type automatic teller machine ATM by deciding the large or small denomination notes to be paid according to the types of cash and the number of sheets (amount) of received notes when an exchange function is selected. CONSTITUTION:In a circulation type ATM, a controller 6 controls the notes to be paid in accordance with the types and the number of sheets of received notes decided at a discriminating part 5. For instance, 1,000-yen notes are paid with reception of 10,000-yen notes, while 10,000-yen and 1,000-yen notes paid with reception of 5,000-yen notes depending on the number of notes, and the 10,000-yen notes and 1,000-yen notes equivalent to remaining amount paid with reception of 1,000-yen notes, respectively. In such a constitution, the ATM can suitably exchange the 1,000-yen notes to the 10,000-yen notes in addition to the conventional exchange to the 1,000-yen notes from the 10,000-yen notes.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic cash handling device for dispensing banknotes, and particularly to an automatic cash handling device suitable for currency exchange.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional machines, the withdrawal denomination type is selected using a selection button in dedicated currency exchange machines, and in automatic cash handling machines (ATMs) that use deposited banknotes for withdrawal, the maximum amount All I had to do was exchange banknotes (10,000 yen) into lower denomination banknotes (1,000 yen). Even if I chose to exchange money and deposited a low-denomination bill (1,000 yen), it was returned to me, and I was unable to exchange the low-denomination bill (1,000 yen) to a high-denomination bill (10,000 yen).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the exchange function of the recycling ATM does not take into account the exchange of low-denomination bills to high-denomination bills.
Currency exchange was limited to depositing high denomination bills and withdrawing low denomination bills.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic cash handling device having an exchange function that reads the intention of a depositor from the denomination and number of deposited banknotes and withdraws the desired denomination.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to, when the currency exchange function is selected at a recycling ATM,
This is achieved by determining whether to withdraw high-denomination bills or low-denomination bills. [Operation] In a recirculation ATM, the exchange function is selected by a function selection switch on the front panel or a touch panel. Bills are inserted through the deposit slot, separated and conveyed one by one, authenticated by a discrimination section, denomination, etc., and temporarily stacked in a stacker.

If the deposited denomination is the highest denomination bill, the deposited bill is stored from the temporary stacker into a recycle safe for highest denomination bills, and bills of the same amount as the deposited amount are counted and withdrawn from the recycle safe for low denomination bills. If the deposited banknotes are low-denomination banknotes, the remaining high-value banknotes in the temporary stacker are first conveyed to the withdrawal port, and the deposited banknotes corresponding to the high-value banknotes are stored from the temporary stacker into the banknote recycling safe. High-value banknotes are counted and withdrawn from the next high-value banknote recycling safe.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 shows part of the ATM operation panel (CRT display, touch panel, and cash withdrawal port). 1st
In Figure (a), a transaction function is selected from the touch panel according to the display on the CRT.

When the money exchange function is selected, the cash withdrawal slot opens and banknotes are inserted as shown in (b). When the cash withdrawal port is closed, the banknotes are separated one by one and counted, and the deposited amount is displayed as shown in (c). If "Cancel" is pressed, the deposited banknotes will be returned, and if "Confirm" is selected, money will be exchanged and the banknotes will be withdrawn as shown in (d).

FIG. 2 shows the banknote handling mechanism of the ATM, and FIG. 3 shows the signal flow. The bills deposited into the deposit/withdrawal port 2 are separated one by one by a separating device 3, the authenticity and denomination are determined by a discrimination section 5, and the bills are temporarily stacked in a stacker 12. In the discrimination section 5, for each deposited banknote, the signal detected by the discrimination sensor 100 is converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter in the signal processing circuit 101, and the discrimination processor CPUI determines whether the banknote is genuine or not. Determine species, front and back, fit and damage, etc. The result determined by the discrimination section 5 is transmitted to the control processor CPU2 of the control section 6.

When the deposited amount is displayed on the CRT and "Confirm" is selected, the banknotes in the temporary stacker are separated one by one and sent to the recycle safe 10.
or 11, and then the banknotes corresponding to the deposited amount are separated one by one from the recirculation safe 10 or 11 and then separated from the cash withdrawal slot 2.
will be transported to and withdrawn. The control device 6 controls the withdrawal of banknotes based on the type and number of deposited banknotes determined by the discrimination unit 5. FIG. 4 shows the control flow of the control processor CPU2 regarding the current Japanese yen. The 5,000 yen will not be returned.
When the money is deposited, it is stored in the reject box 13 shown in FIG.

When 10,000 yen bills are deposited, 1,000 yen bills are withdrawn, and when 5,000 yen bills are deposited, 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen bills are withdrawn depending on the number of deposited bills. When a 1,000 yen bill is deposited, the 10,000 yen bill and the remaining 1,000 yen bill are withdrawn.

Through the above processing, the exchange function of an ATM, which was conventionally only capable of exchanging 10,000 yen bills to 1,000 yen bills, can also be changed from 1,000 yen bills to 10,000 yen bills.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, an ATM allows not only exchange of high denomination bills into low denomination bills, but also exchange of low denomination bills into high denomination bills.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1. In an automatic cash handling device that has functions such as depositing, dispensing, and exchanging cash, when the exchange function is selected and a high-denomination bill is deposited, a lower denomination equal to the deposited amount is issued. When banknotes are withdrawn and the low denomination banknote is deposited, if the deposited amount is equal to or greater than the high value banknote, the corresponding amount of the high value banknote is withdrawn and the remainder of the fraction is deposited. An automatic cash handling device characterized by returning the low-denomination banknotes or dispensing a fractional amount of the same low-denomination banknotes.
