Publication number: 20170004667Abstract: A bill recognizing and counting apparatus includes an operation unit that receives setting of bill processing modes including a denomination mode, a counting mode, a different-denomination recognition mode, and an authenticity determination mode; a feeding and transporting mechanism; and a control unit that performs control for changing a processing speed according to the bill processing mode. When the bill processing mode is in the counting mode, the different-denomination recognition mode, or the authenticity determination mode, the control unit increases the processing speed by setting the feeding and transporting mechanism to a higher speed than the speed set in the denomination mode. The increase in speed is in accordance with a reduced time necessary to process a reduced amount of data associated with the denomination mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Applicant: GLORY LTD.Inventors: Tomoyasu Sato, Shinji Matsuura, Teruo Sudo

Patent number: 9027829Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus (1) includes a sorted-banknote stacking device (2) that sorts and stacks banknotes per denomination and a bundling device (3) that bundles the banknotes. The sorted-banknote stacking device (2) includes a feeding unit (12) that feeds the banknote from the hopper unit (11); a transporting unit (13) that transports the banknote; a denomination recognizing unit (14); a plurality of stackers (16) in which the banknote is sorted and stacked based on a recognition result; and a rejecting unit (17) that discharges rejected banknotes. The bundling device includes a bundling-object-banknote stacking unit (21) that stacks banknote of a specific denomination transported by the transporting unit (13); and a banknote bundling unit (22) that bundles the banknotes. The bottom surface of the sorted-banknote stacking unit (2) is arranged at a higher level than the bottom surface of the bundling device (3).Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2013Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventors: Teruo Sudo, Kozen Nakai

Patent number: 8544728Abstract: A money handling apparatus includes an operation/display unit to display a money count result, and to display a portion or all of a plurality of various operation keys. The display of operation keys is based on the existence or nonexistence of display, contents of display, display-position information, and one or more conditions of display. A setting unit is configured to set the existence or nonexistence of the display for each operation key, while a control unit calculates the display-position information for each operation key, based on one or more conditions of display stored in the memory unit. The control unit also controls the operation/display unit to display the money count result and to display each operation key that is set to be displayed, in the display position and size that is based on the display-position information for the operation key.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventors: Sadaaki Uesaka, Teruo Sudo, Keishi Kobayashi
