Description

  The present invention relates to a sales deposit processing apparatus and a change reserve creation method installed in a store or company.

  There is a sales deposit processing apparatus as a device installed in a store or company and depositing sales proceeds in the store or company. This device performs denomination identification and authenticity determination on money inserted into the insertion slot, counts it, displays the amount, and stores it in a dedicated cassette, safe or storage when it is confirmed.

  Information about the stored money is sent to the security company's center contracted with a store or company from a sales deposit receipt processing device at certain intervals, and the security company uses the amount information to check each account of the financial institution designated by the customer. Process the deposit. For the stored money, security guards of the security company visit the store or company at a later date to exchange the dedicated cassette, safe or storage in the sales receipt processing equipment, and store the stored money for each dedicated cassette, safe or storage. It is supposed to be collected.

  Such sales deposit processing equipment reduces the number of collection operations by the security guards mentioned above, and the amount of money stored in the equipment and the required functions vary depending on the store or company. It is a highly functional device with maximum storage capacity so that it can be supported.

  A store or company where this sales / payment processing apparatus is installed sometimes requires change when selling a product, and therefore the store or company must always prepare money necessary for change. Therefore, there is a business that supplies the necessary change money to stores and companies.

JP 2005-196671 A JP 2003-176073 A JP 2002-319060 A JP 2005-38062 A JP 2004-110132 A JP 2002-74456 A JP 2003-263682 A

  For example, as seen in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-196671, there is a system that sends mail from a center when cash is processed. In the sales collection processing service business, there is a center system that transmits payment information from a sales receipt processing apparatus to a center and transmits the payment information to a user who has an e-mail transmission contract from the center.

  At the center, bank transfer processing is a priority task, and there is a time lag from deposit processing to distribution in order to avoid an increase in tasks due to email distribution processing and contract management. Since the user wants to manage the sales amount every day, there is a request that the receipt data be transmitted every day. In addition, when distributing at the center, it is necessary to register and manage a large number of customer distribution destinations, and there is a problem that a burden is imposed on the center to cope with registration changes of a large number of customer transmission destinations. The purpose is to improve service to users by eliminating this time lag and facilitating transmission destination management and transmission destination change.

  Since the amount of money stored in the sales receipt processing apparatus varies from store to store, an apparatus with the maximum storage capacity is supplied so as to be compatible with each store. As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-176073, there is a device that can increase or decrease the storage cassette in the device according to the operation, but the size of the housing is the maximum storage capacity, so the cost and place to unnecessary parts Is required. An object is to eliminate this unnecessary portion and to provide necessary functions and storage capacity.

  When the money stored in the sales deposit processing apparatus is collected, the statement slip printed in the safe and the collection safe are transported and stored as a set. At the cash scrutiny, it is necessary to count the money in the collection safe and confirm that it matches the statement. This statement is indispensable, but it may cause confusion because it is damaged or lost due to paper and there is nothing to show the relationship with the safe.

  In addition, since the safe is not exclusively used for each device and is mutually used between the devices of each store, it is difficult to manage the operation results and life of the safe. It is an object of the present invention to prevent erroneous input and to facilitate automation of scrutiny and safe management.

  As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-110132, there is a device capable of storing a specific denomination desired in business in a designated cassette for change and sorting out from the designated cassette when change is necessary, as disclosed in JP-A-2004-110132. However, the apparatus becomes large because a separate cassette for change, a safe, or a storage is provided. In addition, cash management is complicated because the money is withdrawn after being stored. It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the need for a separate change cassette, safe or storage, and facilitate cash processing.

  As a coin change creation method, each denomination stacker has a temporary storage part for each denomination like the coin deposit and withdrawal device in JP 2002-74456 A, and each denomination stacker stores one temporary storage coin. It is possible to create a coin change by providing means for feeding coins one by one and means for transporting the fed coins.

  However, with this method, coins are paid out one by one, so it takes time to prepare for the required number of denominations x number of sheets x number of cashiers as change reserves required at large stores, etc. Mixed. In addition, a container or bag for storage is required to carry the coins withdrawn as change reserve.

  In addition, as disclosed in JP-A-2005-208946, when coins are created with a coin handling device, a coin handling device is required separately from the sales depositing device, which makes it difficult to secure the installation location at retail stores and increases costs. There's a problem.

  There is a business to deliver and supply wrapping coins as a coin change reserve. The store has to pay for change, and if the number of times of supply and delivery of wrapping coins increases, it becomes a burden on store operation. In order to solve the problem, a system for replenishing change by installing a wrapping coin processing apparatus in a store as disclosed in JP-A-2003-263682 has been considered.

  However, in addition to the wrapping coin processing device, it has a large system configuration including a POS register, a host for managing the POS register, an automatic teller machine, and a financial institution side terminal. Therefore, a large capital investment is required to configure this system. In addition, cooperation with financial institutions outside the store is necessary, and it takes time and money to replenish change. Since the wrapping coin processing apparatus also has a function of creating wrapping coins, the apparatus is enlarged, and it is difficult to secure the installation location.

The present invention is a sales deposit processing apparatus that adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
In addition to means for communicating with the center, it has means for connecting to the Internet, and has a function of sending mail to a destination automatically designated after automatic determination of sales.
The bill counting and storing unit, the coin counting and storing unit, and the coin safe unit are separated or connected to operate as one device.

  An RF tag is attached to a dedicated cassette or a safe or a storage to serve as a storage means, and a means for writing or reading the RF tag in a mounted state on a sales receipt processing apparatus is provided.

  Only the designated denomination and number can be counted, and the counted money can be loaded into temporary storage and taken out. In addition, money exceeding the specified number is stored in a safe.

  A coin classification storage box is built in, and coins can be classified and stored according to the specified denomination and number as required. The classified and stored coins can be transported in a classified state by removing the coin classification storage box from the apparatus. Also, the coin sorting storage box will be structured so that it can be easily removed and replaced. In addition, an interlocking operation with the wrapping coin dispensing unit is possible.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a sales depositing apparatus that matches user needs, and to provide a function effective for the user.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a sales deposit processing apparatus, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a sales deposit processing apparatus and a sales processing system according to the embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a combination of necessary functions and necessary storage capacity according to the embodiment. It is a money_receiving | payment processing apparatus block diagram.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the sales receipt processing apparatus is equipped with communication control 1 and communication control 2. In the sales deposit processing apparatus and the sales processing system configuration diagram of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, when sales proceeds in 53 stores or companies are usually deposited into the sales deposit processing apparatus, the sales deposit processing apparatus stores the sales proceeds. The amount of money received is notified to the center 50 of the security company that is entrusted with the company through the communication line 56. The center 50 performs a transfer process to the financial institution 52 based on the notified deposit amount.

  This processing is performed every day for the number of contracted companies. In the center 50, the cash processing data is notified to the designated destination terminal 55 after the transfer processing is performed to the financial institution 52, and the cash processing data for a predetermined period is often notified collectively. Therefore, a time lag occurs in the store or company 53 until the notification of cash processing data is received.

  Therefore, instead of notifying the cash processing data from the center 50, a transmission destination is set in advance in the sales receipt processing apparatus, and the details of the sales money received by the sales receipt processing apparatus are automatically displayed as sales. The data is transmitted from the deposit processing device to the designated terminal 55 registered via the communication line 2 57. The registration change of the designated destination terminal 55 in the sales receipt processing apparatus enables the customer to easily change the registration.

  As shown in FIG. 1, 40 bill counting storage unit 1, 41 coin counting storage unit, coin classification storage unit 42, bill safe unit 16 and coin safe unit 26, which are constituent parts of the sales receipt processing apparatus, can be separated or connected. As shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to configure and operate a sales receipt processing apparatus having a storage capacity suitable for the function and required capacity required for the store or company.

  In FIG. 2, the RF tag 30 is installed in the money safe 17, and the amount stored in the safe 17 and the identifier of the sales deposit processing apparatus are written 61 in the RF tag 30. The cash scrutiny 51 reads the contents of the RF tag 30 and confirms the match between the money information 63 stored in the RF tag and the existing amount 64 in the safe.

  In normal operation, the production date, usage frequency, and error information of the safe are written 61 each time, so that the operation results and lifespan can be managed for each safe, which is useful for quality control. As a control means for reading 62 and writing 61 of the RF tag 30, a dedicated control is provided inside the apparatus, and reading and writing are performed wirelessly. In addition, since one controller can communicate with a plurality of RF tags 30, it is not necessary to increase or decrease the number of controllers by increasing or decreasing the number of money safes.

  When making a deposit, the denomination and the number of sheets are designated in advance as a change reserve, and the money is counted. Only the designated denominations and the number of sheets are loaded in the temporary storage units 14 and 24 in FIG. 1, and the denominations other than the designation are rejected. When the designated number is reached, it is temporarily stopped and money is taken out from the temporary storage units 14 and 24 to obtain a change reserve. After taking out, it counts and it stores in the safe 17 from the temporary storage parts 14 and 24. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, there are 27 coin classification storage boxes for classifying and storing coins by denomination, and when making a deposit, the denomination and the number of coins are designated in advance, and change reserves are stored in the coin classification storage box 27 for each denomination. create. By making the coin classification storage box 27 of that denomination detachable, transportation in a state classified into the denomination to the required place is realized.

  In addition, by making it possible to exchange and replace the coin classification storage boxes 27 according to denominations, it is possible to easily prepare change for a large number of cash registers if the number of coin classification storage boxes 27 according to denominations is prepared. Therefore, it is only necessary to mount one denominated coin classification storage box 27 as a device, and the device can be downsized, the mechanism can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced. Further, since only coins exceeding the specified number are stored in the safe 17 of the coin safe 26, cash management in the apparatus is easy.

  It is possible to connect and operate the wrapping coin dispensing unit 44 of FIG. 3 to the sales receipt processing apparatus. By doing so, it is possible to reduce costs and save space because it is only necessary to install a low-priced, small-sized wrapping coin dispensing unit in a store or company where a sales deposit processing apparatus and a change machine are installed. In addition, since the amount to be paid out as a wrapping coin can be specified from the amount deposited in the sales deposit processing apparatus, the current funds in the store can be efficiently operated.

  It is indispensable to securely and securely deposit sales money at financial institutions at stores and companies, and for this reason, the need for sales deposit processing equipment is increasing. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide functions, storage capacity, and services that meet the user's requirements. In addition, it is considered effective because it is possible to easily collate important cash with the data of the sales deposit processing apparatus in the sales processing system and to automate the scrutiny.
