Abstract

A money depositing/dispensing apparatus including a first storage configured to store therein money for each denomination; a second storage configured to store therein money in a denomination mixed state; a third storage configured to store therein money such that the money cannot be fed out therefrom; a transport configured to move money between the storages; and circuitry configured to perform control such that predetermined money is moved from the second storage to the third storage in a case that the first storage needs to be replenished with money, and determine a denomination and a quantity of money for replenishment, based on a storage quantity of money in the second storage after the movement and on a storage quantity of money in the first storage.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A money depositing/dispensing apparatus comprising:
a first storage configured to store therein money for each denomination; a second storage configured to store therein money in a denomination mixed state; a third storage configured to store therein money such that the money cannot be fed out therefrom; a transport configured to move money between the first storage, the second storage and the third storage; and circuitry configured to
perform control such that predetermined money is moved from the second storage to the third storage in a case that the first storage needs to be replenished with money; and
determine denominations and quantities of money with which the first storage and the second storage are replenished, based on a storage quantity of money in the second storage after the movement and on a storage quantity of money in the first storage.

2 . The money depositing/dispensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a predetermined denomination.

3 . The money depositing/dispensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined money is determined based on a decrement of money, for each denomination, that has decreased in the first storage within a predetermined time period.

4 . The money depositing/dispensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined money is determined based on a quantity of money, for each denomination, that has been moved from the second storage to the first storage within a predetermined time period.

5 . The money depositing/dispensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a predetermined quantity.

6 . The money depositing/dispensing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a quantity that is obtained by multiplying a quantity of money stored in the second storage by a predetermined ratio.

7 . A money handing system comprising:
a money depositing/dispensing apparatus; and a money dispensing apparatus capable of dispensing money to be moved to the money depositing/dispensing apparatus, wherein the money depositing/dispensing apparatus comprises
a first storage configured to store therein money for each denomination;
a second storage configured to store therein money in a denomination mixed state;
a third storage configured to store therein money such that the money cannot be fed out therefrom;
a transport configured to move money between the storages; and
circuitry configured to
perform control such that predetermined money is moved from the second storage to the third storage; and
determine denominations and quantities of money with which the first storage and the second storage are replenished, based on a storage quantity of money in the second storage after the movement and on a storage quantity of money in the first storage.

8 . The money handling system according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a predetermined denomination.

9 . The money handling system according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined money is determined based on a decrement of money, for each denomination, that has decreased in the first storage within a predetermined time period.

10 . The money handling system according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined money is determined based on a quantity of money, for each denomination, that has been moved from the second storage to the first storage within a predetermined time period.

11 . The money handling system according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a predetermined quantity.

12 . The money handling system according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a quantity that is obtained by multiplying a quantity of money stored in the second storage by a predetermined ratio.

13 . A money handling method performed by a money depositing/dispensing apparatus executing a replenishment process, the method comprising:
feeding out predetermined money from a first storage configured to store therein money in a denomination mixed state and storing the fed out money in a second storage configured to store therein money such that the money cannot be fed out therefrom, in a case that a third storage configured to store therein money for each denomination needs to be replenished with money; and determining denominations and quantities of money with which the third storage and the first storage are replenished, based on a storage quantity of money in the first storage after the predetermined money has been moved, and on a storage quantity of money in the third storage that stores therein money for each denomination.

14 . The money method according to claim 13 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a predetermined denomination.

15 . The money handling method according to claim 13 , wherein the predetermined money is determined based on a decrement of money, for each denomination, that has decreased in the first storage within a predetermined time period.

16 . The money handling method according to claim 13 , wherein the predetermined money is determined based on a quantity of money, for each denomination, that has been moved from the first storage to the third storage within a predetermined time period.

17 . The money handling method according to claim 13 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a predetermined quantity.

18 . The money handling method according to claim 13 , wherein the predetermined money is money of a quantity that is obtained by multiplying a quantity of money stored in the first storage by a predetermined ratio.
