An equipment icon 19 is a hand icon, that is, a hand icon indicating an amount under the control of a cash manager in the bank. Note that the customer icon 15 may not only mean a customer, but may also include a bill or coin slot into which a customer inserts cash, which is considered as a unit. As will be described later, the operator makes an input on the initial screen by touching or dragging an icon on the touch panel 10 with a finger.

  The depositing operation will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 7 to 9 are explanatory diagrams showing an operation screen at the time of depositing, and FIG. 10 is a flowchart at the time of depositing. First, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display the initial screen shown in FIG. 6 (S101). When the operator touches the customer icon 15 on the touch panel 10, the control unit 6 detects this (S102).

  When the operator drags cash from the customer icon 15 to the cashier icon 16 to deposit cash into the cashier, the control unit 6 detects that there has been a drag input from the customer icon 15 to the cashier icon 16 (S103).

  When detecting this, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display an arrow 60 from the customer icon 15 to the cashier icon 16 and a cash icon 61 meaning cash as shown in FIG. 1 (S104).

  Upon confirming this display, the operator next touches the cash icon 61 twice in succession, and at the same time, sets the banknote in the banknote insertion slot (payment slot) 21 of the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 1. When detecting two consecutive touches on the cash icon 61 (S105), the control unit 6 displays a breakdown 62 (S106). Further, the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 1 is controlled to feed out banknotes set in the banknote insertion slot (payment slot) 21 and to count the banknotes (S107). When the counting of bills is completed, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to update and display the breakdown 62 as shown in FIG. 8 (S108). The example shown in FIG. 8 shows that as a result of the banknote counting, there are 50 10,000 yen bills for a total of 500,000 yen.

  If this is correct, the operator touches the confirmation key 62-1 or presses a confirmation key (not shown) on the keyboard 11. If there is an error, the return key 62-2 is touched or the return key (not shown) of the keyboard 11 is pressed to repeat counting.

  When detecting the touch input of the confirmation key 62-1 (S109), the controller 6 controls the bill deposit / withdrawal unit 1, performs a cash storing operation (S110), and updates the counter (S111). Finally, the touch panel 10 is controlled to display the initial screen shown in FIG. 1 (S112).

  The above example is a case where an operator deposits cash into a cashier, but there is also a case where the cash is deposited into a hand. In this case, following step 103, as shown in FIG. 7, when the operator drags the customer icon 15 to the hand icon 19, the control unit 6 detects that there is a drag input from the customer icon 15 to the hand icon 19. To do.

  When detecting this, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display an arrow 80 from the customer icon 15 to the hand icon 19 and a cash icon 81 meaning cash as shown in FIG.

  After confirming this display, the operator next touches the cash icon 81 twice in succession. When detecting two consecutive touches on the cash icon 81, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display the breakdown 63 as shown in FIG. The operator performs input from the keyboard 11 by using numeric keys, TAB key, ENTER key or the like (not shown) while viewing the display of the breakdown 63. The example shown in FIG. 9 shows that as a result of input from the keyboard 11, ten 10,000-yen bills total 100,000 yen.

  If this is correct, the operator touches the confirmation key 63-1, or presses a confirmation key (not shown) on the keyboard 11. If there is an error, touch the return key 63-2 or press a return key (not shown) on the keyboard 11 to perform the input operation again.

  The above is an example of depositing into the cashier and depositing into the cash machine in the deposit process.

  When detecting this, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display an arrow 60 from the teller machine icon 16 to the customer icon 15 and a cash icon 61 meaning cash as shown in FIG. 11 (S204).

  When the operator confirms this display, the operator next touches the cash icon 61 twice. When detecting two consecutive touches on the cash icon 61 (S205), the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display the breakdown 63 as shown in FIG. 13 and prompt the operator to input the amount (S206). The operator inputs from the keyboard 11 while watching the display of the breakdown 63. When the controller 6 detects a keyboard input (S207), it updates the display of the breakdown 63 (S208). FIG. 13 shows that as a result of input from the keyboard 11, there are 20 10,000 yen bills, for a total of 200,000 yen.

  If this is correct, the operator touches the confirmation key 63-1, or presses the confirmation key on the keyboard 10. If there is an error, touch the return key 63-2 or press the return key on the keyboard 10 to perform the input operation again.

  When the control unit 6 detects a touch input of the confirmation key 63-1 (S209), the control unit 6 controls the banknote deposit / withdrawal unit 1, performs a cash release operation (S210), and updates the counter (S211). Finally, the touch panel 10 is controlled to display the initial screen shown in FIG. 1 (S112).

  The above example is a case where the operator withdraws cash from the cashier to the customer, but the cash may also be withdrawn from his / her hand. In this case, in step 202, as shown in FIG. 12, when the operator performs a drag input from the hand icon 19 to the customer icon 15, the control unit 6 detects that there is a drag input from the hand icon 19 to the customer icon 15.

  When detecting this, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display an arrow 80 from the hand icon 19 to the customer icon 15 and a cash icon 81 meaning cash as shown in FIG.

  After confirming this display, the operator next touches the cash icon 81 twice in succession. When detecting two consecutive touches on the cash icon 81, the control unit 6 controls the touch panel 10 to display the breakdown 63 as shown in FIG. The operator performs input from the keyboard 11 by using numeric keys, TAB key, ENTER key or the like (not shown) while viewing the display of the breakdown 63.

  If this is correct, the operator touches the confirmation key 63-1, or presses the confirmation key on the keyboard 10. If there is an error, touch the return key 63-2 or press the return key on the keyboard 10 to perform the input operation again.

  The above is an example of the withdrawal from the cashier and the withdrawal from the cash machine in the withdrawal process. However, when the customer icon 15 is replaced with the other device icon 18 in the above display, the cashier icon 16 is displayed. Alternatively, the arrow 60 or 80 is displayed from the hand icon 19 to the other device icon 18, and “payment withdrawal” can be performed.

  In addition, after performing the deposit processing from step 101 to step 111 and then performing the withdrawal processing from step 202 to step 211, a “exchange” transaction can be performed when the transaction is confirmed.
