Paper-sheet processing apparatus and paper-sheet processing method

Abstract

A paper-sheet processing apparatus including a reading unit, a risk-level determining unit, and a check processing unit is provided. The reading unit reads, from a check, check information containing a signature image of a signature written on the check. The risk-level determining unit determines a risk level of the check based on a matching result between the signature image read by the reading unit and a reference signature image registered as an object to be matched with the signature image. The check processing unit processes the check based on a processing content corresponding to the risk level determined by the risk-level determining unit.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
