  • Patent number: 11922782
    Abstract: A control unit performs a reconciliation process in a case where an error occurs while a transport unit is transporting media to a temporary storage unit or a storage unit and the number of media stored in a memory becomes uncertain, the reconciliation process being a process in which the control unit checks the number of media stored in the memory using the temporary storage unit while at least a part of the media remain in the temporary storage unit.

  • Publication number: 20240062608
    Abstract: A sheet handling device includes: a first storage; a second storage using a storage method different form that of the first storage; a transporter that transports a sheet; and a controller that controls the transporter to transport the sheet. When the second storage is neither a transport source of the sheet nor a transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet at a first speed. When the second storage is at least the transport source of the sheet or the transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet at a second speed lower than the first speed.

  • Patent number: 11702308
    Abstract: A sheet processing machine stores sheets transported by a transport unit. The sheet processing machine includes: a reel on which a first end side of a tape is wound; a first stepper motor that rotates the reel about a rotation axis of the reel; a drum configured to wind up a second end side of the tape together with the sheets to form a winding body together with the tape and the sheets; a second stepper motor that rotates the drum about a rotation axis of the drum; and circuitry configured to change an interval between the sheets wound on the drum by controlling a rotation of the first stepper motor and the second stepper motor based on a parameter indicating a condition of the winding body.

  • Publication number: 20230124110
    Abstract: A banknote handling system includes a controller that performs a matching process of matching of a second code of a banknote to be subjected to matching read by a recognition circuit with a first code stored in a memory, and the controller determines that the first code matches with the second code if all symbols of specific digits of the first code match with those of the second code and if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits is a predetermined number or less, and determines that the first code mismatches with the second code if symbols of the specific digits of the first code mismatch with those of the second code or if the number of digits for which symbols mismatch other than the specific digits exceed the predetermined number.

  • Publication number: 20220207951
    Abstract: A sheet handling device includes: a first storage; a second storage that stores a sheet in a different storage manner from the first storage; a transport unit that transports the sheet; and a processing circuitry that manages the sheet. When the processing circuitry determines that the sheet handling device satisfies a first condition, the processing circuitry switches a mode from a first mode to a second mode to manage the sheet related to the first storage. When the processing circuitry determines that the sheet handling device satisfies a second condition, the processing circuitry switches the mode from the first mode to the second mode to manage the sheet related to the second storage.

  • Patent number: 10529164
    Abstract: A paper sheet handling apparatus includes a stacking unit which allows paper sheets transported by a transport unit to be stacked therein in alignment with faces of an adjacent pair of the paper sheets being in contact with each other. A recognition unit recognizes which of a face or back of each of the paper sheets transported faces up, and how each of the paper sheets is oriented. A controller classifies the paper sheets into a plurality of types different in thickness distribution based on the result of recognition, manages the number of paper sheets of each type stacked in the stacking unit, and makes a determination whether to permit the stacking of the paper sheets in the stacking unit based on the type of the paper sheets recognized by the recognition unit, and the number of paper sheets of each type that have been stacked in the stacking unit.
