A medium processing method includes receiving, by a primary processing machine, a customer's request for medium processing; in a case where the processing is first processing, storing, by the primary processing machine, a medium targeted for the first processing in the primary processing machine, and accordingly completing the first processing; and in a case where the processing is second processing, providing, by the primary processing machine, a customer with information for guiding the customer to a secondary processing machine.

Medium processing method

A banknote management system includes a first banknote processing apparatus including a first serial number reading apparatus configured to read a serial number of a banknote, and a first disinfection apparatus configured to disinfect the banknote; a recording apparatus; and processing circuitry configured to receive the serial number of the banknote read by the first serial number reading apparatus and first disinfection information, and record the serial number and the first disinfection information in association with each other in the recording apparatus, the first disinfection information being information relating to a state of disinfection of the banknote disinfected by the first disinfection apparatus.

Banknote management method and banknote management system

In order to display information for rejected paper sheets in an easily recognizable manner, the paper sheet handling apparatus includes: a transport path configured to transport paper sheets; a recognition unit configured to recognize the paper sheets transported in the transport path; a reject unit configured to stack rejected paper sheets discharged from the transport path based on a recognition result by the recognition unit; and a display unit configured to display information for rejected paper sheets in a manner which is different for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit can be determined, and for a case where the number of the rejected paper sheets stacked in the reject unit cannot be determined.

Paper sheet handling apparatus

Disclosed herein is a paper sheet processing deviceincluding: a hopper unitconfigured to take in paper sheets; a recognition unitconfigured to read serial numbers of the paper sheets taken in through the hopper unit; a databaseconfigured to store the serial numbers read by the recognition unit; and a control unitconfigured to process the paper sheets. The control unitsearches the serial numbers stored in the databasefor any duplicated serial number, and detects, when finding any duplicated serial number, that duplicate processes have been performed on a paper sheet identified by the duplicated serial number.

Paper sheet processing device

A paper sheet handling system includes a reception unitconfigured to receive a plurality of paper sheets, a taking-in unitconfigured to take in, one by one, the paper sheets received by the reception unit, a recognizing and counting unitconfigured to recognize and count the paper sheets taken in by the taking-in unit, a handling unit configured to handle the paper sheets recognized by the recognizing and counting unit, the handling unit including stackersto, rejection unitsand, a bundling unit, a transport unit, and a cassette storing unit, and an operation/display unitconfigured to input a confirmation signal for confirming count data on the paper sheets recognized by the recognizing and counting unit. The paper sheet handling systemis configured to accept the confirmation signal from the operation/display uniton a condition that the last paper sheet is recognized by the recognizing and counting unit

Paper sheet handling system and paper sheet handling method

A banknote handling apparatusincludes: a taking-in unitwhich takes banknotes in one by one; a transport unitwhich transports each banknote from the taking-in unit; a recognition sensorwhich obtains information related to the fitness of the banknote transported by the transport unit; and a memory unitwhich stores a threshold value for an unfit note factor for determining the fitness of a banknote. A control unitof apparatusdetermines the fitness of the banknote by comparing the threshold value and a detected value of the unfit note factor based on the information obtained by the recognition sensor, and counts the number of times the unfit note factor has been used to determine the banknote as an unfit note. An output unitoutputs the unfit note factor and the number of times of reason.

Banknote handling apparatus

A banknote handling apparatusis configured to perform a sorting process of banknotes. The banknote handling apparatus includes: a taking-in unitconfigured to take in a banknote one by one; a transport unitconfigured to transport the banknote having been taken in from the taking-in unit; a recognition unitconfigured to recognize the banknote transported by the transport unit; a control unitconfigured to control the transport unit, such that the banknote having been recognized by the recognition unitis transported to any one of a plurality of stacking unitsto, based on a sorting pattern; and a sorting-category receiving unitconfigured to receive at least one sorting category. The control unitis configured to create the sorting pattern by deciding types of banknotes to be stacked in the respective stacking unitsto, based on the number of the stacking unitstoand the sorting category.

In one embodiment, a banknote handling machine includes a recognition unit configured to recognize a kind of each banknote taken in a take-in unit, a plurality of stacking units, respectively configured to stack therein the banknotes, a transport unit configured to transport the banknotes, respectively recognized by the recognition unit, to any of the plurality of stacking units, an instruction accepting unit configured to accept an instruction concerning an automatic decision mode provided for deciding the kind of the banknotes to be stacked, by utilizing a recognition result obtained by the recognition unit, for each of the plurality of stacking units, and a control unit configured to control the transport unit to transport each banknote to a destination, which destination is decided based on the instruction accepted by the instruction accepting unit and on the recognition result obtained by the recognition unit.

Banknote handling machine

A paper sheet processing apparatus comprises a taking-in unitconfigured to take therein paper sheets, a transport unitconfigured to transport the paper sheets, a recognition unitconfigured to recognize the paper sheets, a plurality of stacking unitstoconfigured to stack the paper sheets, the paper sheets stacked in the stacking units-being able to be removed from the stacking units-, and a detection sensortoconfigured to detect whether the paper sheets have been removed from the stacking units-. When a control unitjudges that the paper sheets have been removed from the stacking unitstobased on information from the detection sensorto, the control unitoutputs removal information on the removed paper sheets or the stacking unitstofrom which the paper sheets have been removed.

Paper sheet processing apparatus

A paper sheet counting system includes: a first paper sheet counting apparatus whose operation mode can be switched between a cooperative mode and an independent mode, the first paper sheet counting apparatus including: a first receiving unit configured to take in deposited paper sheets one by one; at least two first stacking units configured to stack therein the paper sheets; a first recognition unit configured to recognize and count the paper sheets; and a first transport unit configured to transport the paper sheets between the first receiving unit and the first stacking units, based on a recognition result of the first recognition unit; a second paper sheet counting apparatus whose operation mode can be switched between a cooperative mode and an independent mode, the second paper sheet counting apparatus being capable of communicating with the first paper sheet counting apparatus, the second paper sheet counting apparatus including: a second receiving unit configured to take in deposited paper sheets one by one; at least one second stacking unit configured to stack therein the paper sheets; a second recognition unit configured to recognize and count the paper sheets; and a second transport unit configured to transport the paper sheets between the second receiving unit and the second stacking unit, based on a recognition result of the second recognition unit; and a tallying unit configured to acquire count results from the first recognition unit and the second recognition unit and to tally the count results, when the first paper sheet recognition unit and the second paper sheet recognition unit are in the cooperative modes.
