Detailed Description of the Invention (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an automatic currency exchange machine that stores the customer's exchange pattern. (b) Summary of the Invention The automatic currency exchange machine according to the invention stores the customer's exchange pattern and its A means for storing customer identification data in correspondence with the customer's identification data and a means for setting an exchange pattern corresponding to the identification data when the identification data is input are provided.

This allows customers to exchange money simply by entering identification data (inserting a cash card, etc.).

TC+Conventional Technology An automatic money exchange machine used in banks and the like is a device that exchanges the amount of money inserted into a specified denomination by inputting a key or the like.

For example - 10 thousand yen bills or 5 thousand yen bills for a million yen hole.
It is possible to exchange money by specifying various combinations (exchange patterns) such as coins and 50 500 yen coins (one tube coin). After inserting banknotes for exchange, the user sets the amount for each denomination he wishes to exchange. The sum of the set amounts sets the amount for each denomination. When the total set amount matches the input amount, the setting of the exchange pattern is completed and the automatic exchange machine releases the cash of the exchanged denomination.

(d1 Problem to be solved by the invention) Conventionally, in such automatic money exchange machines, users had to operate the keyboard to operate the exchange pattern each time they exchanged money. However, the exchange pattern was Since they are often set for multiple denominations, key operations are complicated.Additionally, currency exchanges to prepare change at stores are often performed using the same exchange pattern each time. However, the same operation had to be repeated each time to exchange money, which had the disadvantage of poor operability.

The present invention has been made in view of these drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic money exchange machine that improves the operability of customers by storing the customer's exchange patterns in the machine.

(e) Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides an automatic currency exchange machine that accepts the setting of a currency exchange pattern by a customer and withdraws the deposited cash or deposit in the set denomination. means for receiving identification data of a customer; means for correlating the customer identification data with the exchange pattern when the exchange pattern and the customer identification data are input at the same time; The automatic currency exchange machine according to the present invention is characterized by being provided with a means for reading out and setting a currency exchange pattern written in correspondence with the identification data when inputted. When an automatic money exchange machine is operated to exchange money, the exchange pattern set at that time is used as the customer's identification data (if a cash card or the like is inserted at the time of money exchange, the data on the cash card is set as the customer's identification data. ) are stored in correspondence. Next, when the customer inputs identification data for exchanging money (by inserting the cash card, etc.), the exchange pattern is automatically read out and set.

A floppy disk device 26 is connected to the auxiliary control section 13g to store the customer's exchange pattern and the like. Further, a transmission control unit 20 is connected to the internal bus for communicating with a center where a deposit account is set via a dedicated line.

FIG. 5 shows a partial configuration diagram of the floppy disk device 26. As shown in FIG. Area ~11 (Hereinafter, area M i will be referred to as M i) This is an exchange pattern storage area. The exchange pattern storage area consists of one customer's identification data.The exchange pattern recording area for each amount contains the total amount of the exchange pattern, the maximum N%, the year, month, and year for fl, and each denomination. The number of coins withdrawn is recorded and set to 0.The last date when any of these exchange patterns was used is also stored in the identification data storage area.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control section of the automatic money changer.

The figure shows the main routine. Step n1 (hereinafter,
Ste, n1 is called ni. ), the machine waits until the card is inserted into the cart exit 3) or until banknotes are inserted into the input/receipt slot 4. 12 when the card is inserted
The process proceeds to n4 based on the judgment, and if cash has been inserted, the process proceeds to nil based on the judgment at n3.

At n4, the user is informed that cash will be inserted following the card, and at n5 the user waits until the cash is inserted. When cash is inserted, the data of the card is read out to determine whether the exchange pattern of the customer identified by this card data is registered (n6) and whether the exchange pattern for each amount of the inserted cash is registered. (nl). If an exchange pattern for each denomination of the customer is registered, the data is read (n8), set as an exchange pattern, and approval input from the customer is accepted (n9). If the customer's input requires resetting, the process advances to nil, and if the setting contents are approved, the process advances to n13. If the customer approves the settings, the customer presses the end key 36.

nil, the setting of the exchange pattern is accepted at n12, and when the setting of the exchange pattern is completed (when the end key 36 is pressed), the process proceeds to n13. In n13, the exchange transaction is processed, the exchange pattern of this exchange transaction is registered in the floppy disk device 26 along with the identification data, and the process returns to nl. This operation at n14 is performed only when insertion of the card is determined at n2.

The figure (I3) shows the n! 4 is a flowchart showing details of the exchange pattern registration operation in step 4. When a currency exchange transaction is performed, it is determined whether the customer's identification data (card ID) is registered (n20).

If the customer has already been registered, the date of last use of the customer's data is updated (n21). Next, at this time, determine whether the exchange pattern for each amount with the reception number has already been registered (n22), and if it is registered, update the last usage date (n31) and proceed with the operation. Finish. If it is not registered, it is determined whether there is an empty area in the exchange pattern storage area for each amount (n23), and if there is an empty area, the newly input exchange pattern for each amount is additionally registered and the operation is performed. Finish (n2f3). On the other hand, if there is no free area, the exchange pattern by denomination with the oldest date of last use is deleted (n+14), a new exchange pattern by denomination is registered in that area (n25), and the operation ends.

On the other hand, if the exchange pattern of the customer identified by this card ID is unregistered, it is determined in n27 whether there is an area for registering a new customer. If there is a vacant area, this customer's card IO and exchange pattern are registered (n30) and the operation is completed. If there is no free area, the data of the oldest customer whose last date of card use is deleted (n28), the new customer's data is registered in that area (n29), and the operation ends.

The card readers 17 and n2 correspond to the "means for receiving identification data" of the present invention, and the exchange pattern storage area (Ml) of the floppy disk device 26 and the operation shown in FIG. n8 corresponds to "means for storing identification data and exchange patterns in correspondence with each other," and n8 corresponds to "means for calling and setting exchange patterns" of the present invention.
