[Problem] To provide a highly reliable automated transaction system which is capable of keeping damage due to malware to a minimum. [Solution] Provided is an automated transaction system in which a first storage unit which stores first transaction information is disposed in a paper currency transaction device and a second storage unit which stores the first transaction information is disposed in an external device. With regard to a second transaction which is a transaction which takes place after a first transaction: an ATM control unit transmits second transaction information which includes second amount information which is information which relates to the amount which is being handled in the second transaction; the external device transmits the first transaction information which is stored in the second storage unit; and the paper currency transaction device receives the first transaction information which the external device has transmitted and the second transaction information, determines whether the first transaction information which is stored in the first storage unit matches the first transaction information which the external device has transmitted, and if the respective instances of the first transaction information match, carries out a conveyance of paper currency on the basis of the second amount information which is included in the second transaction information.
The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the size an automatic teller machine (ATM), in which the height of a banknote deposit/withdrawal opening is in a lower position, while maintaining banknote storage capacity. In the present invention, a banknote handling device handles bank notes, and the banknote handling device has a first conveyance roller that conveys bank notes and that changes the conveyance direction of the banknotes between a conveyance path in which the banknotes are conveyed from the deposit/withdrawal unit along the vertical direction and a conveyance path in which the banknotes are conveyed in the horizontal direction. The distance between a delivery unit and a first conveyance unit is shorter than the length of the banknotes in the conveyance direction. Due to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the height of the banknote handling device and to reduce the size of the banknote handling device or the automatic teller machine.
When the door of a paper sheet storage is secured to the paper sheet storage, it is possible that when inserting or removing paper sheets, a clerk might have to avoid the door to perform an operation, or might have to perform the operation of inserting or removing banknotes from a specific direction, and the operation efficiency of the clerk might be reduced. In particular, depending on the country or location in which an automatic transaction device is installed, because there are many banknotes in circulation, or because transactions are frequently performed by users, it is necessary that the paper sheet storage is efficiently used, and therefore improvement in the operability of the paper sheet storage, increased capacity, etc., is necessary. The present invention is a paper sheet storage comprising a delivery/storage unit for performing delivery or storage of the paper sheets, and a door unit for removing and inserting the paper sheets, wherein: the delivery/storage unit comprises a delivery unit for delivering the paper sheets and a storage unit for storing the paper sheets; the delivery unit has a pickup roller for delivering the paper sheets; the storage unit has a pressing plate for pressing the paper sheets against the pickup roller, and a belt roller for conveying the paper sheets; the pressing plate presses the paper sheets in a movable region that moves from a position contacting the belt roller in the direction of the pickup roller; and the door unit is provided capable of separating from the delivery/storage unit, and is provided in a position for opening and closing the movable region of the storage unit.
Provided is an automated teller machine that can be made compact while ensuring paper currency storage capacity and security.

This automated teller machine is configured so as to have a first base, on which the first unit is mounted so as to be capable of moving in the front-back direction by means of rails, and a second base connected to the first base and on which the second unit is mounted, and so that the first unit and the second unit can be withdrawn as one body. The first unit has a state detection unit that detects the internal state of the unit, a lock mechanism that prevents the unit from being withdrawn from the machine housing, and a control unit that controls the operation of the lock mechanism on the basis of a state detection signal from the state detection unit.
[Problem] To enable protection of components and facilitate maintenance work by improving visibility. [Solution] Three or more surfaces of a card processing device 10 are covered with a molded cover of a strong, transparent resin. Further, an encoder 34 of a motor 26 is covered with a encoder cover 36 of a transparent resin. Visible light sources are provided at appropriate positions inside a cover 32 and the encoder cover 36, and installation into an ATM, etc. is performed, so that internal components, etc. can be illuminated even in a dark environment to enable improvement of maintenance work performance.
[Problem] To reduce the size of a card processing device, while maintaining the reliability of reading and writing of magnetic data from and to a card, to a minimum conveyance-direction length that is structurally required for achieving a card conveyance function. [Solution] Two roller pairs 32A, 32B are arranged at a slightly shorter pitch than a card length. A magnetic head 38 is disposed between the two roller pairs 32A, 32B at a position closer to the inner roller pair 32B. An upstream-side first shutter 24 and a downstream-side second shutter 26 are disposed on the upstream of the two roller pairs 32A, 32B. The second shutter 26 regulates insertion of a card from outside when in a standby mode for card insertion, and the first shutter 24 is operated so as to prevent insertion of the next card or a foreign object when a card 14 is already inside the device and is being processed for writing. In other words, the position of the first shutter 24 is determined such that when the front end of the card 14 has reached the magnetic head 38, the rear end of the card 14 is positioned downstream of the first shutter 24.
