Abstract: An address converter has a base address register and address mask register for setting the start address and range, respectively, of a transparent mode access permitted area. By using the values of these base address register and address mask register, the address converter converts an address signal (address value) supplied from an external bus master into an address signal within a predetermined range from the start position of the transparent mode access permitted area. A transparency controller executes transparent mode access by using the converted address signal. This makes it possible to connect devices having different address bus widths to an external bus without forming any new external circuit, and to set an arbitrary transparent mode access permitted area.

Abstract: The invention provides a remaining money management system which can predict and manage a demanded cash amount for an ATM. The remaining money management system includes one or more automatic cash transaction apparatus, and a remaining money management apparatus which manages remaining money amounts based on transaction data from the automatic cash transaction apparatus. The remaining money management apparatus includes a storage section for cumulatively storing transaction data from the automatic cash transaction apparatus, and a prediction section for calculating and predicting demanded cash amounts within a designated time for the automatic cash transaction apparatus based on transaction data in the past accumulated in the storage section. The remaining money amount management system can be applied to an apparatus for managing ATMs installed in monetary facilities such as banks.
