  • Patent number: 11875625
    Abstract: A money processing system includes: a money processing machine including a processing machine communication section and a processing machine controller; a first terminal including a first reception section, a first communication section, and a first controller; and a second terminal including a second reception section, a second communication section, and a second controller. The first terminal is a mobile communication terminal. The processing machine communication section transmits state information indicating a state of the money processing machine. In a case where the first reception section receives a consent operation to handle an error in the money processing machine, the first communication section transmits consent information. The error in the money processing machine is indicated by the state information. The second controller causes the second communication section to receive the consent information.

  • Patent number: 11790721
    Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a first storage and a second storage that each stores a sheet; a transport that transports the sheet; a recognition circuit that performs a first recognition processing to recognize the sheet; an outlet that discharges the sheet in a case that the sheet is recognized as normal in the first recognition processing; a temporary storage that stores the sheet in a case that the sheet is recognized as abnormal in the first recognition processing; and processing circuitry that controls the transport and the recognition circuit such that storage control processing is performed, the storage control processing being processing in which the sheet stored in the temporary storage is transported to the first storage unit or to the second storage.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20160284151
    Abstract: An ejecting mechanism (319) included in a coin-roll ejecting device (300) includes a rotating member (320, 360) that rotates around a rotation axis that extends horizontally and orthogonally to a direction of inclination of a storing unit (310) and has at least two notches (324, 364) each receiving one roll of coins stored in the storing unit (310), a driving unit (321) that rotates the rotating member (320, 360) around the rotation axis, and a rotating position detecting unit (350) that detects a rotating position of the rotating member (320, 360).
