Abstract

A money processing device includes a storage that stores and feeds money, a path that transports the money fed from the storage, recognition circuitry that recognizes a denomination of the money transported by the path, and processing circuitry configured to output information on a storage abnormality of the storage based on information on wrong denomination money. The wrong denomination money is money whose denomination recognized by the recognition circuitry does not match a set denomination assigned to the storage as the denomination of money that is supposed to be stored in the storage.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A money processing device, comprising:
a storage that stores and feeds money;
a path that transports the money fed from the storage;
recognition circuitry configured to recognize a denomination of the money transported by the path; and
processing circuitry configured to output information on a storage abnormality of the storage based on information on wrong denomination money, the wrong denomination money being money whose denomination recognized by the recognition circuitry does not match a set denomination assigned to the storage as a denomination of money that is supposed to be stored in the storage, wherein
the information on the wrong denomination money includes information on a number of pieces of the wrong denomination money, and
the processing circuitry outputs the information on the storage abnormality of the storage when a cumulative number of pieces of the wrong denomination money or a number of consecutive pieces of the wrong denomination money is larger than a predetermined threshold.

2. The money processing device of claim 1 , wherein
the threshold is set to a value according to a total number of pieces of the money fed from the storage.

3. The money processing device of claim 1 , wherein
the information on the storage abnormality of the storage includes information on the set denomination.

4. The money processing device of claim 1 , wherein
the information on the storage abnormality of the storage includes information on the denomination of the wrong denomination money.

5. The money processing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a wrong denomination storage that stores the wrong denomination money, wherein
in a reconciliation process in which the money fed from the storage is recognized by the recognition circuitry, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money is transported to the wrong denomination storage.

6. The money processing device of claim 5 , wherein
when the processing circuitry outputs the information on the storage abnormality of the storage, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money fed from the wrong denomination storage returns to the storage.

7. The money processing device of claim 5 , wherein
the threshold is one or more.

8. The money processing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a wrong denomination storage that stores the wrong denomination money; and
a withdrawal dispenser that dispenses the money to be withdrawn, wherein
in a withdrawal process in which the money fed from the storage is recognized by the recognition circuitry and transported to the withdrawal dispenser according to a recognition result of the recognition circuitry, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money is transported to the wrong denomination storage.

9. The money processing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a wrong denomination storage that stores the wrong denomination money; and
a collection storage that stores the money to be collected, wherein
in a collection process in which the money fed from the storage is recognized by the recognition circuitry and transported to the collection storage according to a recognition result of the recognition circuitry, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money is transported to the wrong denomination storage.

10. The money processing device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a wrong denomination storage that stores the wrong denomination money; and
a load storage that is loaded with the money, wherein
in a loading process in which the money fed from the storage is recognized by the recognition circuitry and transported to the load storage according to a recognition result of the recognition circuitry, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money is transported to the wrong denomination storage.

11. The money processing device of claim 1 , wherein
when the processing circuitry outputs the information on the storage abnormality of the storage, the processing circuitry changes the set denomination assigned to the storage to the denomination of the wrong denomination money.

12. A money processing device, comprising:
a storage that stores and feeds money;
a path that transports the money fed from the storage;
recognition circuitry configured to recognize a denomination of the money transported by the path; and
processing circuitry configured to output information on a storage abnormality of the storage based on information on wrong denomination money, the wrong denomination money being money whose denomination recognized by the recognition circuitry does not match a set denomination assigned to the storage as a denomination of money that is supposed to be stored in the storage, wherein
the information on the wrong denomination money includes information on a number of pieces of the wrong denomination money,
the processing circuitry outputs the information on the storage abnormality of the storage when the number of pieces of the wrong denomination money is larger than a predetermined threshold, and
the threshold is set to a value according to a storage capacity of a transport destination of the wrong denomination money.

13. A money processing device, comprising:
a storage that stores and feeds money;
a path that transports the money fed from the storage;
recognition circuitry configured to recognize a denomination of the money transported by the path;
processing circuitry configured to output information on a storage abnormality of the storage based on information on wrong denomination money, the wrong denomination money being money whose denomination recognized by the recognition circuitry does not match a set denomination assigned to the storage as a denomination of money that is supposed to be stored in the storage;
a wrong denomination storage that stores the wrong denomination money, wherein in a reconciliation process in which the money fed from the storage is recognized by the recognition circuitry, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money is transported to the wrong denomination storage; and
a dispenser that dispenses the money, wherein
when the processing circuitry outputs the information on the storage abnormality of the storage, the processing circuitry controls the path so that the wrong denomination money fed from the wrong denomination storage is transported to the dispenser.
