Modular automated transaction machine
A modular ATM is disclosed herein and can include a safe with a first port, at least one currency cassette and dispenser both positioned in the safe, a recycler, and a plurality of linking transport assemblies. The dispenser can move banknotes between the cassette and the first port. The recycler can be positioned on the safe, have second and third ports, and move banknotes between the second and third ports. The recycler can be positionable in a plurality of different orientations and offsets relative to the safe. The plurality of linking transport assemblies can each be individually engageable with the recycler. Each of the linking transport assembly moves banknotes between the first port of the safe and the second port of the recycler. Each linking transport assembly is individually positionable between the safe and the recycler.

Sales processing apparatus with early failure detection and method for early failure detection in a sales processing apparatus
A sales processing apparatus includes a processor and an input and output unit configured to perform an operation for a sales transaction processing. The processor is configured to acquire the time required for the input and output unit to perform the operation for the sales transaction processing of a sales transaction, then determine whether the time required for the input and output unit to perform the operation during the sales transaction exceeds a reference time for the input and output unit to perform the operation. A notification is output if the time required for the input and output unit to perform the operation during the sales transaction exceeds the reference time.
MANAGEMENT SERVER
An object of the present invention is to provide a management server which makes it possible to set areas in which a predetermined currency is available and areas in which the predetermined currency is unavailable, in a case in which a lot of currency handling systems in each of which a variety of currencies are available are used. A slot machine management server 1 is connected with currency handling systems including a currency reading device 201 in which a variety of currencies are available. Each currency handling system 100 is associated with any of areas A to H. The slot machine management server 1 includes: an input unit 104; a communication interface 103; and a center controller 101, and the center controller 101 sends a command of causing a process of allowing usage of the selected currency to be performed in a case in which the center controller 101 receives a selection of an area and a selection of a currency, a currency read in the currency reading device 201 corresponds to the selected currency, and the currency reading device 201 that read the currency corresponds to the selected area.
BILL PROCESSING DEVICE
The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a banknote processing device that may separate and process normal banknotes and rejected banknotes during replenishment/collection and easily confirm the number of replenished or collected normal banknotes. The present invention for implementing this includes: a determination unit that determines whether or not a replenished or collected banknote is normal; a temporary storage unit in which the banknote determined as a normal banknote by the determination unit is temporarily stored; a counterfeit banknote cassette in which a replenished rejected banknote and a collected rejected banknote rejected by the determination unit are stored; a banknote storage unit in which a replenished banknote or a banknote to be collected, which is determined as a normal banknote by the determination unit, is stored; a replenishment/collection cassette in which a banknote to be replenished in the banknote storage unit or a normal banknote collected from the banknote storage unit is stored; and a transport path through which the banknote is transported.
