Paper sheet management apparatus, paper sheet management method, and paper sheet management program

Abstract

A paper sheet management apparatus includes: a serial number recognizing unitA that performs a character recognition of a serial number of predetermined digits for recognizing a banknote from the banknote, obtains a character recognition result including a recognizable character and/or an unrecognizable character, and obtains a serial number recognition result including a recognizable determined character and/or an unrecognizable error character based on the obtained character, recognition result; a serial number registration condition processing unitB that judges whether the serial number recognition result meets a predetermined registration condition based on the determined character or the error character in the obtained serial number recognition result; and a DB control unitE that registers banknote detailed information including the serial number recognition result in a database, when the serial number recognition result meets the predetermined registration condition, and forbids registration of the serial number recognition result in the database, when the serial number recognition result does not meet the predetermined registration condition. Thus, needless registration of serial numbers can be avoided, and an operational burden on a user who inputs a serial number can be significantly reduced.
