  • Patent number: 11704959
    Abstract: A sheet processing system, comprising a storage device that stores one or more sheets, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to count a number of sheets stored in the storage device; determine whether the storage device is full based on a storage state of the storage device; in a case that the storage device is determined to be full, decide a set value relating to an upper limit number of the sheets storable in the storage device by using a plurality of count results from the control circuitry; and set the set value for the storage device.

  • Publication number: 20220292494
    Abstract: A money processing device includes: a money processing unit; a communication circuitry; a man-machine interface; and processing circuitry configured to control the money processing unit, the communication circuitry and the man-machine interface. The processing circuitry generates temporary information, and operates the communication circuitry or the man-machine interface to provide the temporary information to outside. When the communication circuitry or the man-machine interface that is not operated to provide the temporary information to the outside receives secondary information corresponding to the temporary information, the processing circuitry transfers the money processing device to a state of executing a process of resolving an abnormality.

  • Patent number: 9123191
    Abstract: A money depositing/dispensing device includes an inventory amount obtaining unit, a virtual inventory amount setting unit, and a device inventory amount management unit. The inventory amount obtaining unit is configured to count money to be stored in a storage unit and count money fed from the storage unit, thereby successively obtaining an inventory amount in the storage unit. The virtual inventory amount setting unit is configured to set an inventory amount of banknotes which are not present in the device but should be treated as money present in the device, as a virtual inventory amount. The device inventory amount management unit is configured to manage, as an inventory amount in the device, a sum of the inventory amount in the obtained by the storage unit inventory amount obtaining unit and the virtual inventory amount set by the virtual inventory amount setting unit.
