The genuine 1,000 yen note is conveyed toward the traveling path 49 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 18 as shown by the arrow, and is operated to operate the 1,000 yen note switching gate 57 to be sent to the 1000 yen note accumulation unit 27. In this way, the 1,000 yen tickets are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 24.

Similarly, genuine ten thousand notes are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 25 via the accumulation unit 25 by the operation of the switching gate 31. The 5,000 yen note and the unfit note are sent to the accumulation unit 29 by operating the switching gate 32, and are accumulated in the temporary holding unit 26.

By the above operation, when the deposit counting process of the bill set by the customer in the customer service opening 3 is completed, the cash depositing / dispensing device 50
A response indicating that the counting of payment has been completed is returned to the control unit 56 shown in FIG. Data indicating the number counted for each denomination divided into a recycle banknote and a non-recycle target banknote is added to this response.

The control unit 56 receives this data, calculates the denomination amount and the total amount, and displays them on the display of the customer operation unit 54 shown in FIG. This data is counted and stored as the number of deposits.

When the customer confirms the amount displayed on the display of the customer operation unit 54 shown in FIG. 4 and presses the confirmation button of the customer operation unit 54, the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 receives the command, Deposited banknotes accumulated in the temporary storage units 24 and 25 of the denomination storages 8 and 9 are stored in the denomination storages 8 and 9 by simultaneously pulling out the shutters 34 and 35 of the temporary storage units.

Next, the 5,000-yen bill and the unfit bill that were accumulated in the temporary holding unit 26 of the denomination storage 10 are separated one by one by the separation and takeout mechanism 22 and transported from the transport path 49 in the direction of the arrow to the discrimination unit. Send to 4. Then, the switching gates 43 and 63 are actuated to feed the reject cassette 7 to the deposit / withdrawal rejecting unit 64 and to accumulate in the deposit / withdrawal rejecting unit 65.

 Thus, the processing of the payment transaction is completed.

<Payment Transaction> FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus of the present invention at the time of the transaction.

When the customer depresses the withdrawal transaction key of the customer operation unit 54 shown in FIG. 4, inserts the cash card into the card reader / writer unit 52, and enters a password, the control unit 56
Transmits a command to start the dispensing process to the cash depositing and dispensing device 50.

When receiving the command to start the dispensing process, the cash dispensing / dispensing device 50 switches the internal state to the dispensing mode and waits for the instruction of the denomination and the number of bills to be discharged.

For example, when the customer inputs the amount of m-million-yen ticket and 1,000-yen ticket n, first, the end detectors 39a, 39b, and 39c of the deposit boxes 8, 9, and 10 respectively detect the end. It is determined whether it has not been performed. When the end detection is performed in any one of the money type storages, information indicating that withdrawal is impossible is added to the command and a response is returned. If the end is not detected, according to the instruction of the withdrawal counting, for example,
Activate the million-yen ticket take-out / separation mechanism 21 to feed out m-yen tickets. The fed banknote is sent to the discriminating section 4 through the travel path indicated by arrows. The discriminating section 4 discriminates whether the bill is the designated one or not and whether the bill is correct or not, and if so, activates the switching gate 43 to send the bill to the obverse and reverse aligning mechanism 5 along the arrow. In the discrimination unit 4,
Since the front and back of the banknote are determined, the switching gate 6 is operated based on the determination result, and the front and back are sorted one by one and stacked on the front and back sorting mechanism 5.

In the discriminating section 4, the bills discriminated from the abnormal transported ticket are operated by the switching gates 43 and 63, follow the route indicated by the arrow, are sent to the collecting section 64 of the reject cassette 7, and are collected in the deposit / withdrawal rejecting section 65. Is done.

The above operation is repeated until the previously designated m number of ten thousand notes are taken out from the denomination storage 9 storing the ten thousand notes, discriminated, and accumulated in the front and back sorting mechanism 5.

When the stacking of the 10,000-yen tickets is completed, next, n 1,000-yen tickets are taken out from the denomination storage 8 storing the 1,000-yen tickets.

As a result of the above operation, when the m-thousand and ten thousand-yen notes specified by the customer are accumulated in the front / back arrangement mechanism 5, the tenth
The reception port 3 is set at the reception position shown in FIG.
The shutter 42 is opened by switching to the dispensing position shown in FIG. 10 (d), the banknote is handed over to the customer, and then the shutter 42 is closed.

When the dispensing of the designated number of sheets from the control unit 56 ends, the cash depositing and dispensing device 50 returns a response to the control unit 56 that the process has been completed. At that time, data of the release denomination and the number of the denomination are added. The control unit 56 receives this, counts and stores it as the number of payments.

 Withdrawal transaction processing ends here.

<Loading> FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a dispensing operation of the cash depositing and dispensing apparatus of the present invention, that is, a loading and replenishing operation.

First, an attendant attaches the collective storage 11 to the apparatus main body 50 before starting work. A predetermined amount of banknotes are collectively set in the batch storage from the original side. After installing the batch storage, the clerk presses the loading key among the operation keys of the internal operation unit 55 shown in FIG. In response to the input, the control unit 56 transmits a command to start the loading operation to the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50.

Upon receiving the loading operation start command, the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 switches the internal state to the loading mode. Then, it is confirmed that the end detector 39d of the batch storage 11 has not detected the end. The banknotes to be loaded are
In order to confirm that it is set to If the end has been detected, information of inoperability is added and the control unit 56
Send the response to. In that case, the loading operation is stopped. After confirming that the end has not been detected, the loading operation is started.

When the loading operation is started, in FIG. 8, the cash-receipt-and-disbursement device control unit 80 performs the batch removal shown in the batch storage 11 of FIG. 13 via the I / O interface circuit 82 and the motor driver 85. The drive motor of the separation mechanism 23 is operated. As a result, the banknotes set in the batch storage 11 are fed out one by one in order from the upper side and sent to the discriminating section 4 along the route indicated by arrows.

The discriminating unit 4 performs denomination discrimination, authenticity discrimination, damage discrimination, and traveling state check for each bill sequentially sent, and the transported bill is further fed backward. If the result of the discrimination by the discriminating unit 4 is a genuine one-thousand-yen note (a bill that has no damage or is a small bill that can be used for withdrawal), the bill is routed by arrows and Through the travel path 49 of the deposit / withdrawal unit 18 and the 1,000 yen ticket switching gate 57
Is sent to the 1,000-yen ticket accumulation unit 27 via In this way, the 1,000 yen note is directly accumulated on the stage 45 of the 1,000 yen note storage 8.

In the loading operation as described above, the shutters 34, 35, and 36 of the respective denomination storages 8, 9, and 10 are opened in advance, and the stages 45, 46, and 47 are set to accept the loaded banknotes. ing.

If the discrimination result is a genuine ten thousand note, the banknote is sent to the ten thousand note stacking unit 28 or 29 by operating the ten thousand note switching gate 31 or 32. Then, they are directly integrated on the stages 46 and 47.

The above operation is repeated until the appropriate number of loaded sheets is reached for each of the denomination storages 8, 9, and 10.

During this operation, if the number of stacked sheets on any of the stages 45, 46, 47 reaches the hold allowable value, for example, 100 sheets, the operation of the batch removal / separation mechanism 23 of the batch storage 11 is interrupted.
Then, the stage 45, 46 or 47 that has reached the hold allowance
Is lowered by a motor (not shown) by a thickness equivalent to the hold allowable value. When the stage is lowered, the batch take-out / separation mechanism 23 is operated again, and the loading operation is repeated.

For example, when a 10,000-yen ticket is first loaded into the denomination-type storage 9, a predetermined appropriate number of ten-thousand-yen tickets is stored in the denomination-type storage 9 until the full detector 37b detects the full state. Loading continues until it is stored.

Similarly, when a 1,000-yen ticket is stored in the denomination-specific storage 8, the loading is continued until the appropriate number is reached.

The appropriate number is set to, for example, an appropriate number after a bill is loaded, in which a space for accommodating bills to be deposited is left in a deposit transaction. This may be determined empirically uniformly, or may be arbitrarily set according to the installation environment of the automatic teller machine or when the transaction date is the end of the month or the like, depending on the specificity. The setting may be made, for example, by a staff member inputting and setting from the internal operation unit 55 shown in FIG.

By the way, even if the banknotes have been loaded into the denomination-type storages 8 and 9 up to the predetermined appropriate number of loaded sheets, if the denominations still remain in the collective storage 11, the switching gate 15 is operated. Then, the conveyed banknotes are collected in the stacking unit 30 of the collective storage 11 through the route indicated by the arrow.

In this operation, the banknotes on the stage 70 of the
The determination is continued through the route of,,,,, until the bill on the stage 70 runs out.
When the bill runs out, the transport operation of the collective take-out / separation mechanism 23 and each traveling path is stopped.

If the discriminating unit 4 determines that the banknote is a denominated banknote or a denomination that does not have a denomination storage, for example, a 5,000-yen banknote in this embodiment, the banknote is operated by the switching gates 43 and 15. , Arrows,. Then, the damaged bills and the like are accumulated in the collective reject unit 62.

When the above series of operations is completed, the stages 45, 46, 47 are lowered simultaneously, and the banknotes accumulated on these stages are stored in the denomination storages 8, 9, 10, and the loading operation is completed. I do. When the operation is completed, the cash depositing / dispensing device 50 returns a device end response to the control unit 56. At this time, the number data of the denominations loaded in the denomination storage units 8, 9, and 10 is transmitted.

<Replenishment Operation> Since the replenishment operation is the same as the loading operation in the drawing, the replenishment operation will be described again with reference to FIG.

The replenishment operation mode includes a forced replenishment mode and an automatic replenishment mode. In the forced replenishment mode, the staff operates the internal operation
When the replenishment key is pressed by the operation key (FIG. 4), the control unit 56 (FIG. 4) receives this input, and receives the input.
By transmitting a command of a replenishment operation start instruction to 50 (FIG. 4), the cash depositing and dispensing device control unit 80 (FIG. 8)
Receives a command to start the replenishment operation from the control unit 56 (FIG. 4), sets the operation mode to the replenishment mode, and instructs to replenish the specified number of money for the specified denomination. . Further, in the forced replenishment mode, replenishment is automatically performed upon detecting that the remaining amount of any of the banknotes in the denomination-type storages 8, 9, and 10 has become equal to or less than a predetermined number during the transaction operation.

When the end is detected in the forced replenishment mode, a response to which information indicating that the operation is not in an operable state is returned to the control unit 56 (FIG. 4). Of course, the same processing is performed even in the automatic replenishment mode.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the replenishment can be executed without the end detection, the replenishment operation is started. In this case,
In FIG. 13, the collective take-out / separation mechanism 23 at the upper part of the batch storage 11 is operated to feed out the banknotes set in the batch storage 11 one by one from the upper side. This bill is
It is sent to the discriminating section 4 through the route indicated by arrows.

The discriminating unit 4 sequentially performs a denomination determination, a true / false determination, a fitness determination, and a running state check on the fed bills. For example, when the banknote to be refilled is one of a denomination of one of a ten-yen ticket and a one-thousand-yen ticket, the banknote determined to be other than the genuine banknote of the banknote to be replenished as a result of the discrimination by the discrimination unit 4 is ,
Following the route of,,, the switching gate 15 is operated to be sent to the stacking unit 30 of the batch storage 11.

Regarding the banknote whose discrimination result is determined to be a reject banknote, the switching gates 43 and 15 are operated to follow the route of,. The banknotes are accumulated in the batch reject unit 62 of the batch storage 11.

By the way, when the genuine bill of the banknote to be replenished is conveyed, as described in the loading section, if it is a 1,000-yen bill, the 1,000-yen bill switching gate 57 is operated to move to the 1,000-yen bill accumulation unit 27. It is sent directly to the 1000 yen ticket stage 45. If the ticket is a ten-yen ticket, the ten-yen ticket switching gate 31 or 32 is activated, and the ten-yen ticket accumulation unit 28
Or it is sent to 29. And, 10,000 yen ticket stage 46 or
Directly integrated into 47.

The above operation is continued until the target number of sheets is replenished.However, if any one of the stages 45, 46, and 47 reaches the hold allowable value, for example, 100 sheets, the batch removal / separation mechanism 23 The operation is interrupted, the stage of the cassette which has reached the hold allowable value is lowered by the motor corresponding to the hold allowable value by a motor (not shown), and the batch removal / separation mechanism 23 is operated again to repeat the replenishing operation.

When the replenishment number reaches the target value, the
Stops. Then, when the last bill arrives at the stages 45, 46, 47, the transport operation stops. Among the stages 45, 46, 47, the stage that has performed the replenishment operation is lowered, and the banknotes accumulated on the stage are stored in any of the corresponding denomination storages 8, 9, 10, and the replenishment operation ends. .

<Collecting Operation> FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus of the present invention at the time of collecting operation.

When the operator presses the internal operation unit 55 (the operation key in FIG. 4) and presses the collection key, the control unit 56 (FIG. 4)
Receives the input, and transmits a command to start the collecting operation to the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 (FIG. 4).

When the cash-receipt-and-disbursement device control part 80 (FIG. 8) receives the command of the collection operation start from the control part 56 (FIG. 4), it determines whether this is a forced collection or an automatic collection. In the case of forced collection, all banknotes are unconditionally collected from the denomination storages 8, 9, and 10 to the collective storage 11. The automatic collection is executed when the number of stored banknotes in any one of the denomination storages 8, 9, and 10 exceeds a predetermined number. In these cases, the operation mode is set to the collection mode, and it is confirmed that the near full detector 38d of the batch storage 11 has not detected near full.

In this way, when it is confirmed that a retrievable space remains in the collective storage 11, the retrieving operation is started.

First, when collecting banknotes from the denomination storage 10 storing a ten thousand yen ticket, the ten thousand yen ticket take-out and separation mechanism 22 is operated,
The bills stored in the ten-yen ticket storage box 10 are
Dispensing one by one, the discrimination unit 4 through the route of ,,
Send to The discrimination unit 4 sequentially detects the authenticity and the running state of the fed bills and sends the bills backward.

As a result of the discrimination performed by the discrimination unit 4, two or more sheets overlap (double running),
The banknote for which skewing or the like has been detected passes through the route, activates the switching gate 43, and is fed into the reject cassette 7 through the route.

As a result of discrimination, normal banknotes are counted and collected
Sent to 30. This operation is repeated until the target number of collected paper sheets is reached, or until there are no more banknotes set in the denomination storage 10 storing the ten thousand yen note.

The same applies to the collection operation for the other storage units 9 and 8 by denomination.

During the collection operation, the full detector 37
When d detects the full state, the collection operation is interrupted, and the information is returned to the control unit 56 (FIG. 4). The control unit 56 displays this on a display unit (not shown).

The attendant discharges the banknotes stored in the collective storage 11 after seeing the display indicating that the collective storage is full.
In this case, the attendant opens the door 41 on the rear surface of the device main body 50 of the cash depositing / dispensing device, pulls out the batch storage 11, opens the door using the audit key, and takes out all the banknotes. Thereafter, the batch storage 11 is set and the door 41 is closed by a reverse operation to the above, and the collecting operation is restarted. After that, when the end detectors 39c, 39b, 38a of all the denomination storages 8, 9, 10 detect the end, the take-out mechanisms 20, 21, 22 are stopped, and the last bill arrives at the batch storage 11. Then, the transport operation stops.

The cash depositing / dispensing device that has completed the above processing is
In response to (FIG. 4), a response indicating completion of collection is returned, and the counted number of sheets collected for each denomination is added to the response.
In response to this, the control unit 56 counts and stores the number of collected sheets.

On the other hand, when the collecting operation is completed, the cash depositing / dispensing device control unit 80 (FIG. 8) determines whether or not the number of collected coins of each denomination collected from each denomination storage 8,9,10 and the batch storage identification means. The contents of the collective storage identifying means are updated by adding the storage number of the denomination stored in 99 to the storage number.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In recent years, automatic teller machines have become extremely widespread, and the number of customers who use automatic teller machines has also increased significantly at financial institutions.

Therefore, a plurality of automatic teller machines are often installed in one fulcrum store of a financial institution.

FIG. 15 shows a processing flowchart when an abnormal operation of the apparatus of the present invention occurs. The following description will be continued with reference to this flowchart.

Now, if a failure occurs in the cash depositing / dispensing device 50 during the payment processing operation or the return operation of the payment cancellation (step S1 in FIG. 15), the cash depositing / dispensing device 50 notifies the cash automatic transaction device control unit accordingly. 560 is notified (step S2 in FIG. 15).

Then, in the case of a failure during the payment processing operation, the automatic teller machine control unit 560 notifies the center of the cancellation of the payment transaction (second order).
After confirmation, step S3 in FIG. 15 displays a message prompting the customer operation unit 54 to call a clerk (step in FIG. 15).
S4). At the same time, it instructs the internal operation unit 569 to withdraw the error code and the deposited money and display the word that the return destination is the customer (FIG. 15, step S5). That is, the word of the note A in the figure is displayed.

As a result, the attendant withdraws the deposited money from the transport path (No.
After returning to the customer and performing a failure recovery process (step S6 in FIG. 15), the automatic teller machine controller 560 requests input of the denomination and the number of withdrawn cash (step 15 in FIG. 15). Figure Step S8). That is, the display LCD panel 606 displays a message prompting the user to input the number of 100,000-yen coupons extracted, and when the attendant presses the confirmation key after inputting the number, the number of 5,000-yen coupons and then 1000 When the number of yen coupons is input and the confirmation key is pressed following the input of the number of 1,000 yen coupons, payment is made to the lowest-numbered address where data is not stored in the withdrawal number storage area of the cumulative transaction memory 562. A flag is set before the transaction is concluded (step S10 in FIG. 15, note B), and the number of samples taken out is stored in the subsequent addresses.

Note that the stored contents of the state information in step S10 are different for each of the processing such as the payment processing and the payment processing, so the contents are shown in note B of the drawing. In the payment processing, note B is executed.

When the cash is removed from the transport path, the center or the like detects that the transport path has been opened, and turns on the flag of the transaction prohibiting means 570. This flag is turned off when the input of the denomination type and the quantity is completed. As a result, the automatic teller machine can be traded. That is, until then, the transaction operation of the device is prohibited, and forgetting to input is prevented.

On the other hand, during the storage operation after the completion of the deposit transaction, the cash deposit and withdrawal device
Assuming that a failure has occurred in step 50 (step S1 in FIG. 15), the apparatus 50 notifies the automatic teller machine controller 560 of the fact (step S2 in FIG. 15). Then, the automatic teller machine controller 560 performs the same processing as the previous case (steps S2 to S11 in FIG. 15). However, in step S5, note A is displayed, and the cash withdrawn by the attendant is returned to the original customer instead of the customer. Further, in step S10, the post-payment-transaction flag is set in the transaction total and withdrawal number storage unit 562, and the cumulative number of withdrawals from addresses m + 90 to m + 92 is updated (Note B).

<Withdrawal Transaction> First, when a customer pushes a withdrawal transaction key (not shown) of the customer operation unit 54, a cash card is inserted into the card reader / writer unit 52, and a password is input, an automatic cash transaction apparatus is used. Communication takes place between the and the center. As a result of this communication, if an account, a transaction item, and an identity check are performed, the automatic teller machine controller 560 prompts the customer to input a withdrawal amount, and the cash withdrawal device 50 is input with this input. Sends a money processing start command.

When the dispensing processing operation is normally completed, the cash dispensing / dispensing apparatus 50 notifies the automatic transaction apparatus controller 560 of the normal termination and the dispensed contents, and the transaction is completed.

In response to this, the automatic teller machine control unit 560 first notifies the center of the transaction contents, and when confirmed, updates the data of the addresses m + 3 and m + 4 of each transaction total and the number-of-taken-storage unit 562, respectively. , Card reader / writer
52 is instructed to print a statement, return the cash card and the statement, and instruct the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 to transfer cash, and when these operations are normally completed, the dispensing transaction ends.

Now, assuming that a failure has occurred in the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 during the dispensing processing operation, the processing proceeds again according to the flowchart of FIG. That is, the cash dispensing / dispensing apparatus 50 notifies the cash automatic transaction apparatus control unit 560 of this (steps S1 and S2 in FIG. 15).

Accordingly, the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 first notifies the center of the withdrawal cancellation (step S3 in FIG. 15), and when confirmed, causes the customer operation unit 54 to display a message urging to call a clerk (FIG. 15). Step S4) The display LCD panel 606 displays an error code and a message that the withdrawal money is to be withdrawn and returned to the original side (Step S5 in FIG. 15, note A).

Thereby, the clerk withdraws the withdrawal money and transfers it to the original party (step S6 in FIG. 15), and when the failure recovery processing is performed (step S7 in FIG. 15), the automatic teller machine 560 displays L for display.
The CD panel 606 is displayed so as to input the number of the extracted coins and the like (step S8 in FIG. 15). Here, when the clerk presses the confirmation key following the input of the number of ten thousand yen and one thousand yen tickets (step S9 in FIG. 15), the total number of transactions and the number of A flag is set before the transaction of the withdrawal transaction at the lowest address where no data is stored (step S10 in FIG. 15, note B),
The number of extracted sheets is stored in the subsequent addresses, and the total number of extracted sheets from addresses m + 90 to m + 92 is updated. This allows the automatic teller machine to make a transaction (step S11 in FIG. 15).

On the other hand, if it is assumed that a failure has occurred in the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 during the delivery operation after the completion of the withdrawal transaction, the step S1 in FIG.
The process further proceeds to S2, and the device 50 notifies the automatic teller machine controller 560 of that effect. Then, the automatic teller machine controller 560 performs the same processing as described above (FIG. 15, steps S1 to S11). However, the cash withdrawn by the attendant is not the principal, but is passed to the customer (FIG. 15, step S5, note A). This flag is used as a flag, and the cumulative number of sheets to be removed from addresses m + 90 to m + 92 is not updated (No.
15 Step S10, Note B).

<Loading Operation> First, the staff attaches the batch storage 11 to the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus main body 50 prior to the start of work. In this bulk storage,

No, it is not directly stored in 47, but as in the deposit operation,
It is accumulated at 4,25,26.

Then, when the number of stacked sheets on any of the temporary holding units 25, 25, 26 reaches the hold allowable value, for example, 100 sheets, the operation of the batch removal / separation mechanism 23 of the batch storage 11 is interrupted. Then, the shutters 34, 35, 36 of the respective denomination storages 8, 9, 10 are opened, and bills are loaded on the stages 45, 46, 47. At this time, the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 notifies the automatic teller machine control section 560 of the number of banknotes on the temporary holding sections 24, 25, 26. As a result, the automatic transaction apparatus control unit 560 updates the contents of the addresses m + 5 and m + 6 in the transaction totals and the number of extracted sheets storage unit 562.

When the above operation is continued until the number of banknotes in each denomination storage reaches an appropriate number, the cash dispensing / dispensing device 50 transmits a notification of the end of the loading operation to the automatic teller machine control unit 560, thereby Then, the loading operation ends.

Now, assuming that a failure has occurred in the cash dispensing / dispensing apparatus 50 during the loading operation, the flow again shifts from step S1 in FIG. 15 to step S2, and the cash dispensing / dispensing apparatus informs the effect to that effect.

This allows the automatic teller machine to carry out subsequent transactions (step S11 in FIG. 15).

<Recovery operation> When the operator presses a recovery key among the operation keys of the internal operation unit 569, the automatic teller machine controller 560 transmits a command for instructing the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 to start a recovery operation. I do.

Upon receipt of this, the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 starts the collecting operation shown in the conventional example. Then, when the collection operation is completed, the contents of the collection are notified to the automatic teller machine controller 560. In response to this, the automatic teller machine controller 560
The contents of addresses m + 7 to m + 9 of each transaction total unit 562 are updated, and the collection operation is completed with this.

Now, assuming that a failure has occurred in the cash depositing / dispensing apparatus 50 during the collection operation, the flow shifts from step S1 in FIG. 15 to step S2 again. The cash dispensing / dispensing device 50 includes a cash automatic transaction device control unit 56
0, the failure has occurred, and the
The denomination and the number of bills sent to 0 are notified.

In response to this, the automatic teller machine controller 560 updates the total number of transactions and the contents of addresses m + 7 to m + 9 in the number-of-extracted-number storage unit 562 by adding the number already sent to the collective stacking unit 30 to the content. Since the customer does not intervene in the collection operation, steps S3 and S4 are not executed, and the process proceeds to step S5 (Note C).

Next, the display LCD panel 606 of the internal operation unit 569 displays an error code, a content urging the attendant to remove the bill on the traveling path and return the bill to the original side (FIG. 15, step S5, Note A).

As a result, when the attendant withdraws the banknote and returns it to the original side (step S6 in FIG. 15), and performs the failure recovery processing (FIG. 15).
Similar to the deposit / withdrawal operation in FIG. 15 (step S7), the automatic teller machine controller 560 prompts the attendant to input the number of sheets to be withdrawn (step S8 in FIG. 15). In addition, by pressing the confirmation key of the attendant, the total number of the transactions and the number of the withdrawn number storage area of the number of withdrawn number storage section 562 are stored in the lowest address where the data is not stored.
A flag is set before the transaction of the collection transaction is completed, and the number of samples is stored in the subsequent addresses (step S9 in FIG. 15). Further, the total number of extracted sheets from addresses m + 90 to m + 92 is updated (step S10 in FIG. 15; note B).

 As a result, the present apparatus enables subsequent transactions.

<Scrutiny> When the staff presses the total key of the operation keys of the internal operation unit 569, the automatic teller machine control unit 560
First, the collecting operation is performed, and thereafter, the total number of transactions and the data of addresses m + 9 and m + 90 to m + 92 in the storage unit 562 for the total number of transactions and the number of samples to be withdrawn and the reject cassette 9 of the cash depositing / dispensing device 50 remain on the display LCD panel 606. The number of copies, i.e., the 10,000 yen ticket, is stored in <address m> + <m + 5>-<m + 3>-<m + 7>-
<M + 90>, 1,000 yen ticket is <address m + 2> + <m + 6>
− <M + 4> − <m + 9> − <m + 92>, and the 5,000 yen ticket displays <address m + 1> − <m + 8> − <m + 91>.

When confirming that the displayed content matches the number of banknotes remaining in the reject cassette 9, the attendant presses the confirmation key of the internal operation unit 569.

As a result, the automatic teller machine controller 560 clears all the data in each of the transaction totals and the number of samples to be withdrawn storage unit, and the close examination ends.
