The store 500 includes a plurality of tenants 501. A plurality of POS registers 300, each connected to a change machine 310, are installed at the checkout counter of each tenant 501, and are used for payment processing when customers purchase products. Note that the POS register 300, change device 310, deposit device 1, tenant 501, mobile terminal 100, store terminal 400, and tenant terminal 401 shown in FIG. may be one or more than one.

The POS register 300 is connected to a POS server (not shown) via the network 4. Specifically, the POS register 300 of the store 500 is connected to the POS server of the store 500, and the POS register 300 of the tenant 501 is connected to the POS server of the tenant 501. The cashier in charge of the POS register 300 inputs the price of the product purchased by the customer into the POS register 300, and also deposits the money that the customer pays for the product into the change device 310. The change device 310 is a money processing device that can perform deposit processing and withdrawal processing for money (banknotes and coins). When a customer uses a gift certificate to pay for a product, the cashier enters the amount to be paid with the gift certificate into the POS register 300 and stores the gift certificate in a predetermined storage location. The POS register 300 dispenses change from the change device 310, if necessary, based on the amount of the product, the amount of money paid by the customer, and the amount of the gift certificate.

A plurality of deposit devices 1 are installed in the back office of the store 500 and are used for deposit processing of sales proceeds of the store 500 and for deposit processing of sales proceeds of the tenant 501. Deposit device 1 is connected to network 4 via communication interface 78 .

A store terminal 400 that manages sales information of the store 500 is installed in the back office of the store 500. Store terminal 400 is a computer device having an operation section and a display section. The store terminal 400 is capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from the POS register 300 and the deposit device 1 of the store 500 via the network 4.

A tenant terminal 401 that manages sales proceeds information of the tenant 501 is installed in the tenant 501 . Tenant terminal 401 is a computer device having an operation section and a display section. The tenant terminal 401 is capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from the POS register 300 of the tenant 501 via the network 4. As shown in FIG. 1, the tenant 501 uses a plurality of mobile terminals 100 that read the QR code of the receipt 200. The tenant terminal 401 is connected to each mobile terminal 100 so as to be able to communicate wirelessly, so that each mobile terminal 100 can receive information acquired from the QR code. Note that the present invention is not limited to the case where only the clerk of the tenant 501 uses the mobile terminal 100, and the clerk of the store 500 can also use the mobile terminal 100 of the store 500.

A unique store number is assigned to the store 500 and each tenant 501 so that the store 500 and all the tenants 501 can be distinguished from each other. For example, if there is a checkout counter for each department, such as a checkout counter for a food store or a checkout counter for a cosmetics store, a unique department number is assigned to each department so that each department can be distinguished. A unique register number is assigned to each POS register 300 so that each POS register 300 installed at each checkout counter can be distinguished. In addition, unique device numbers are assigned to all deposit devices 1 installed in the store 500 so that each device can be distinguished. Thereby, in the valuable medium processing system, it is possible to distinguish each tenant 501 within the store 500 and to distinguish each device.

The cashier in charge of the POS register 300 of the store 500 collects money and gift certificates from the POS register 300 and change device 310 in charge, and deposits them into the deposit device 1 as sales proceeds of the store 500. As described in FIG. 1, the cashier executes the deposit process by having the card reader 71 read information from the IC card in which information including the store number, department number, and cashier number of the store 500 is recorded. As a result, a receipt 200 is output from the deposit device 1, as shown in FIG. At the store 500, information regarding the deposit process can be obtained from the QR code printed on the receipt 200 using the mobile terminal 100, if necessary.

Similarly, the cashier in charge of the POS register 300 of the tenant 501 collects money and gift certificates from the POS register 300 and change device 310 in charge, and deposits them into the deposit device 1 as sales proceeds of the tenant 501. As described with reference to FIG. 1, the cashier executes the deposit process by causing the card reader 71 to read information from the IC card in which information including the store number, department number, and cash register number of the tenant 501 is recorded. As a result, a receipt 200 is output from the deposit device 1, as shown in FIG. The cashier takes the receipt 200 back to the tenant 501. As shown in FIG. 1, the tenant 501 can obtain information regarding the deposit process from the QR code printed on the receipt 200 using the mobile terminal 100.

For example, if the management entity of the tenant 501 is different from the management entity of the store 500 and the ownership of the sales proceeds of the tenant 501 deposited into the deposit device 1 is transferred from the tenant 501 to the store 500, the deposit amount of the sales proceeds is printed. A stamp is required to issue the certificate. As shown in FIG. 1, by issuing a receipt 200 on which the deposited amount is not printed, stamps are not required, and the store 500 can reduce the cost of stamps.

The tenant 501 can import information including the deposited amount from the QR code of the receipt 200 into the mobile terminal 100 and use it as data. In recent years, computerization of accounting processing has progressed. By transmitting the data acquired by the mobile terminal 100 to a terminal that performs accounting processing, post-processing related to accounting processing can be easily performed. Furthermore, since there is no need to manually input information regarding deposit processing, incorrect input due to human error can be avoided.

In the valuable media processing system, the total amount of money and gift certificates collected from the POS register 300 and the change device 310 to be deposited into the deposit device 1 and the total amount of money and gift certificates actually deposited into the deposit device 1 are calculated. It is also possible to notify this when there is a difference.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining notification processing in the valuable medium processing system. As shown in FIG. 5, the cashier of the tenant 501 collects money and gift certificates from the POS register 300 and change device 310 in charge, and deposits them into the deposit device 1 (A1). As a result, as explained in FIG. 1, the receipt 200 including the QR code is output from the deposit device 1 (B1). By reading the QR code with the mobile terminal 100, the cashier can acquire information including the deposited amount on the mobile terminal 100 and display it in text (B2).

The POS register 300 manages information on money and gift certificates exchanged with customers using the POS register 300 during payment processing. When the cashier performs a predetermined operation on the POS register 300 to collect money and gift certificates, collection information is transmitted from the POS register 300 to the tenant terminal 401 (C1). The collection information includes the store number, department number, and cash register number for identifying the POS register 300 that is the source of the information, and the total amount of money and gift certificates collected from the POS register 300 and change device 310 (recovered amount). ) and are included.

When the cashier who has completed the deposit process with the deposit device 1 performs a predetermined operation on the mobile terminal 100 and reads the QR code of the receipt 200, the deposit information obtained from the QR code is transmitted from the mobile terminal 100 to the tenant terminal 401. is transmitted (C2). The deposit information includes the store number, department number, and cash register number for identifying the collection source of the coins and gift certificates deposited into the deposit device 1, and the total amount of the deposited coins and gift certificates (deposit amount). included.

After acquiring the collection information and deposit information, the tenant terminal 401 determines whether the deposit amount included in the deposit information received from the mobile terminal 100 matches the collection amount included in the collection information received from the POS register 300. (C3). The tenant terminal 401 identifies the POS register 300 from which money and gift certificates are collected based on the store number, department number, and cash register number included in the deposit information. Then, the tenant terminal 401 compares the deposit amount included in the deposit information with the collection amount included in the collection information of the specified POS register 300. In this way, by using the store number, department number, and cash register number, it can be determined for each of the plurality of POS registers 300 whether the deposit amount matches the collection amount.

If the deposited amount does not match the collected amount, tenant terminal 401 executes notification processing to notify this. For example, the tenant terminal 401 displays information indicating that the deposited amount and the collected amount do not match on the display unit of the terminal. Upon receiving the notification, the administrator who manages the tenant terminal 401 can start investigating the cause of the discrepancy. Further, for example, the tenant terminal 401 displays information indicating that the deposit amount and the collection amount do not match on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 that is the source of the deposit information. Upon receiving the notification, the cashier in possession of the mobile terminal 100 can begin investigating the cause of the discrepancy.

As for the store 500, similarly to the tenant 501, the collection amount and the deposited amount are compared, and notification processing is performed when the two do not match. In the case of the store 500, the store terminal 400 acquires collection information from the POS register 300 of the store 500, and acquires deposit information from the mobile terminal 100 owned by the cashier of the store 500. At this time, the deposit information may be directly acquired by the store terminal 400 from the deposit device 1. The store terminal 400 compares the collected amount and the deposited amount, and if they do not match, executes a notification process to display information indicating this on the store terminal 400 and the mobile terminal 100.

In this way, in the valuable medium processing system, the store terminal 400 and the tenant terminal 401 function as notification terminals that confirm and notify that the collected amount and the deposited amount match. Thereby, if the collected amount and the deposited amount do not match, it is possible to promptly deal with the situation.

Note that the system configurations shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are functional schematics, and the configuration of the valuable medium processing system is not physically limited to these configurations. The form of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to the above example, but all or part of it can be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in arbitrary units depending on various loads and usage conditions. can do.

For example, although FIG. 5 shows a mode in which the store terminal 400 and the tenant terminal 401 compare the deposited amount and the collected amount and perform notification processing if they do not match, the comparison and notification processing may be performed by another device. It may also be an embodiment in which this is done. For example, the POS register 300 may be configured to be able to read the QR code of the receipt 200, and the POS register 300 may perform comparison and notification processing. Alternatively, for example, the mobile terminal 100 may acquire collection information from the POS register 300 and perform comparison and notification processing.

In this embodiment, whether the sales proceeds of the store 500 are deposited into the deposit device 1 or the sales proceeds of the tenant 501 are deposited, the deposit device 1 prints a receipt with a QR code printed on it without printing the deposit amount. Although the example in which the receipt 200 is issued is shown, the manner in which the receipt 200 is used is not limited to this.

For example, when the sales proceeds of the store 500 are deposited, the deposit amount may be printed on the receipt 200, but when the sales proceeds of the tenant 501 are deposited, the deposit amount may not be printed on the receipt 200. . Furthermore, if the tenant 501 desires, the deposited amount may be printed on the receipt 200 issued to the tenant 501. Furthermore, when printing the deposited amount on the receipt 200, other information may also be printed (printed) in text instead of printing the QR code. The deposit device 1 stores setting information that presets whether or not to print the deposited amount for each user in the storage unit 74, and stores the setting information based on the user information read from the card reader 71 during the deposit processing. refer. Thereby, the deposit device 1 can issue receipts 200 with different printed contents depending on the user. For example, the deposit device 1 can be set to not print the deposited amount on the receipt 200 when a stamp is required, and to print the deposited amount on the receipt 200 when a stamp is not required. Furthermore, even if a stamp is required, if the tenant 501 wishes to print the deposit amount, the deposit device 1 can be set to print the deposit amount on the receipt 200 issued to this tenant 501. .

In the present embodiment, information regarding the deposit processing performed by the deposit device 1 is encoded in the QR code, but the information is stored in the deposit device 1 or a predetermined device on the network 4, The address information indicating the address information may be encoded into a QR code. In this case, the mobile terminal 100 may specify the storage location based on the address information read from the QR code, and may acquire information regarding the deposit processing from the storage location. Thereby, each process can be executed as described above.

In this embodiment, a mode has been shown in which information regarding the deposit processing performed by the deposit device 1 is encoded in the QR code, but the QR code may also include predetermined information for preventing tampering. In this case, when the mobile terminal 100 reads the QR code, it confirms that the QR code has not been tampered with based on predetermined information for preventing tampering. In addition, for example, the deposit device 1 encrypts information on deposit processing using a predetermined encryption method and then encodes it into a QR code, and the mobile terminal 100 decrypts the information read from the QR code using a predetermined encryption method. It may also be used in a format. This makes it possible to prevent fraud due to forgery of the receipt 200.

In this embodiment, a mode has been shown in which the mobile terminal 100 is used as a display device that reads and displays information from a QR code, but the display device is not limited to a portable terminal, and may be a stationary terminal. There may be. For example, the computer device used by the tenant 501 for accounting processing may be used as a display device.

In this embodiment, the case where the valuable medium processing device is the depositing device 1 has been described as an example, but the valuable medium processing device may be a depositing and dispensing device that performs deposit processing and withdrawal processing. In this case as well, each process related to the deposit process can be executed as described above.

For example, when a deposit/withdrawal device is used in place of the deposit device 1 shown in FIG. be done. In this case, the deposit/withdrawal device creates a QR code from the withdrawal information including the withdrawal amount and outputs a receipt with this code printed during the withdrawal process, similar to the deposit process shown in FIG. It's okay. Furthermore, the depositing and dispensing device may include, in the QR code, the sum of the deposited amount of deposited processing and the withdrawn amount of withdrawn processing performed on the day during depositing and withdrawal processing. If information regarding the deposit amount, information regarding the withdrawal amount, and information regarding the cumulative amount of the deposit amount and withdrawal amount can be acquired using a QR code on the mobile terminal 100, it will be convenient to use the acquired information for accounting processing. Improves sex.

Although the present embodiment has been described using an example in which store sales proceeds are deposited, the deposit target is not limited to sales proceeds. In addition, the deposit target is not limited to money and gift certificates, it may be only money or only gift certificates, and in addition to money and gift certificates, it is also possible to accept deposits by check. There may be.

The information printed on the receipt 200 and the information displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5 of this embodiment are examples, and the information is not limited to these.
