Description

GELDKASSETTENANORDNUNG MIT SENSOR MONEY CASE ARRANGEMENT WITH SENSOR
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geldkassettenanordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a cash cassette arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine Geldkassettenanordnung der genannten Art mit einer transportablen registrierkassengesteuerten Geldkassette ist aus der EP 0 560 292 Bl bekannt. Die Geldkassette läßt sich auf eine ortsfeste Grundplatte aufsetzen und mit ihr verriegeln. Auf der Grundplatte ist ein Haltevor- sprung angeordnet, der beim Aufsetzen der Geldkassette durch einen Schlitz in deren Bodenplatte greift und mit einem Riegel im Inneren der Geldkassette verrastet . Zur Entriegelung wird ein nur bei geöffnetem Geldkassetten- Deckel zugängliches Entriegelungselement manuell betätigt. Die Deckelöffnung wird durch ein von einer Regi- strierkasse abgegebenes elektrisches Signal ausgelöst . Da eine solche Geldkassette auch bei Ausfall der Registrierkasse oder der Stromversorgung von der Grundplatte lösbar sein muß, ist an einer verborgenen, nicht für einen Kunden einsehbaren Stelle der Geldkassette eine sogenannte Notentriegelung vorgesehen, die manuell betätigbar ist. Die verborgene Anordnung dieser Notentriegelung ist aber nur so lange ein Schutz gegen Manipulationen an der Geldkassette wie unberechtigtes Öffnen oder unbefugte Entnahme von der Grundplatte, als der konstruktive Aufbau der Geldkassettenanordnung unbekannt ist .A cash cassette arrangement of the type mentioned with a transportable cash register-controlled cash cassette is known from EP 0 560 292 B1. The cash box can be placed on a fixed base plate and locked with it. A holding projection is arranged on the base plate, which engages through a slot in the base plate when the cash cassette is placed on it and engages with a latch in the interior of the cash cassette. For unlocking, an unlocking element that is only accessible when the cash cassette cover is open is actuated manually. The lid opening is triggered by an electrical signal issued by a cash register. Since such a cash cassette must be detachable from the base plate even if the cash register or the power supply fails, a so-called emergency release is provided at a hidden location of the cash cassette which is not visible to a customer and which can be operated manually. The hidden arrangement of this emergency release is only as long as protection against tampering with the cash box, such as unauthorized opening or unauthorized removal from the base plate, when the design of the cash box assembly is unknown.
Aus der WO 95/21420 AI ist eine Anordnung zur elektronischen Artikelauszeichnung bekannt. Diese dient der Preisauszeichnung von insbesondere in den Regalen eines Warenhauses feilgebotenen Artikeln. Sie umfaßt eine Zentral- Station, die Artikelinformationen drahtlos als Rundfunksendung aussendet, und eine Vielzahl von Warenschildern mit einem Empfänger für diese Rundfunksendungen. Das aus der WO 95/21420 AI bekannte Warenschild enthält auch ei- nen Sender, der auf ein Anforderungssignal hin eine Information auszusenden vermag.From WO 95/21420 AI an arrangement for electronic article labeling is known. This is used to mark the price of items offered in particular on the shelves of a department store. It comprises a central station which transmits article information wirelessly as a radio broadcast, and a large number of product labels with a receiver for these radio broadcasts. The goods label known from WO 95/21420 AI also contains a NEN sender that can send out information in response to a request signal.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Sicherheit von Geldkassetten gegen unberechtigten Zugriff zu erhöhen.The object of the invention is to increase the security of cash cassettes against unauthorized access.
Die Aufgabe wird für eine Geldkassettenanordnung der eingangs beschriebenen Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst .The object is achieved for a cash cassette arrangement of the type described in the introduction by the characterizing features of claim 1.
Die Erfindung geht von der Überlegung aus, daß bestimmte Voraussetzungen erfüllt sein müssen, bevor eine Geldkas- sette zulässigerweise von der Grundplatte gelöst wird. Eine Kassierperson bekommt bei Dienstantritt eine Geldkassette ausgehändigt, die sie an ihrem Kassierplatz auf die Grundplatte setzt und sich danach durch Eingabe ihrer Benutzernummer per Tastatur oder mit Hilfe eines elektro- nisch lesbaren Ausweises bei einer die Registrierkasse steuernden Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung anmeldet .The invention is based on the consideration that certain prerequisites must be met before a cash box can be released from the base plate. A cashier is given a cash cassette when he starts work, which he places on the cash register at his cash desk and then registers with a data processing device controlling the cash register by entering his user number on the keyboard or using an electronically readable ID.
Vor einer zulässigen Entnahme der Geldkassette meldet sich die Kassierperson bei der Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung ab. Wird aber bei angemeldeter Kassierperson die Geldkassette von der Grundplatte gelöst, so ist das ein Indiz für einen Manipulationsversuch, auf welches hin ein Alarm ausgelöst werden kann. Eine besonders einfache und doch zuverlässige Meldung von Manipulationen an der Geldkassette wird dadurch erreicht, daß in der Geldkassette ein Sensor angeordnet ist, der die Entriegelung und/oder die Entfernung der Geldkassette von der Grundplatte erfaßt und ein Meldesignal über einen Signalweg an eine Überwachungseinrichtung meldet . Die Anordnung des Sensors innerhalb der Geldkassette macht eine in betrügerischer Absicht vorgenommene Blockade des Sensors nahezu unmöglich. Eine solche Blockade ist insbesondere dann wirkungslos, wenn bereits die Schaltzustände und Schaltwechsel des Sensors vor und während des Aufsetzens der Geld- kassette auf die Grundplatte und/oder der An- und Abmeldevorgang der Kassierperson in der Überwachungseinrichtung für eine Alarmauslösung ausgewertet werden.The cashier logs off from the data processing device before the cash cassette is permitted to be removed. If, however, the cash box is detached from the base plate when the cashier is registered, this is an indication of a manipulation attempt, upon which an alarm can be triggered. A particularly simple and yet reliable tampering with the cash cassette is achieved in that a sensor is arranged in the cash cassette, which detects the unlocking and / or the removal of the cash cassette from the base plate and reports a message signal to a monitoring device via a signal path. The arrangement of the sensor inside the cash box makes it impossible to block the sensor with fraudulent intent. Such a blockage is ineffective in particular if the switching states and switching changes of the sensor before and during the placement of the money cassette on the base plate and / or the registration and deregistration process of the cashier in the monitoring device can be evaluated for triggering an alarm.
Vorzugsweise überwacht der Sensor die der Verriegelungs- position entsprechende Position der Geldkassette bezüglich der Grundplatte und/oder die Position des Haltevor- sprungs in seiner in der Geldkassette verrasteten Stellung.The sensor preferably monitors the position of the cash cassette corresponding to the locking position with respect to the base plate and / or the position of the holding projection in its position locked in the cash cassette.
Der Sensor kann als elektrischer Schalter, insbesondere als Mikroschalter ausgebildet sein, dessen Betätigungselement in den Verschiebeweg des Haltevorsprungs ragt. Alternativ dazu kann der Sensor eine die Position des Haltevorsprungs erfassende Lichtschranke oder ein kapazitiver oder induktiver Näherungsschalter sein, welcher sei- nen Abstand zum Haltevorsprung oder zur Grundplatte abtastet .The sensor can be designed as an electrical switch, in particular as a microswitch, the actuating element of which protrudes into the displacement path of the holding projection. As an alternative to this, the sensor can be a light barrier which detects the position of the holding projection or a capacitive or inductive proximity switch which scans its distance from the holding projection or from the base plate.
Die Übertragung des Meldesignals wird im einfachsten Fall über eine ein Betätigungssignal für die Entriegelung des Kassettendeckels führende Leitung geführt. Dadurch erüb- rigen sich zusätzliche Elektroinstallationen.In the simplest case, the transmission of the alarm signal is carried out via a line carrying an actuation signal for unlocking the cassette cover. This eliminates the need for additional electrical installations.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausprägung der Erfindung ist der Sensor mit einem in der Geldkassette befindlichen Sender oder Sender/Empfänger verbunden, dessen Ausgangssignal als Meldesignal über einen drahtlosen Signalweg geführt wird.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sensor is connected to a transmitter or transmitter / receiver located in the cash box, the output signal of which is carried as a signaling signal via a wireless signal path.
Dazu kann der Sender bzw. Sender/Empfänger in ein drahtloses LAN-Netzwerk eingebunden sein, über welches das Meldesignal zu der Überwachungseinrichtung geführt wird. Solche LAN-Netzwerke sind gerade bei Kasseninstallationen mit vielen Registrierkassen ohnehin häufig im Einsatz, um die Registrierkassen mit einem zentralen Rechner zu verbinden. Die Einbindung des Senders bzw. Sender/Empfängers zieht also keinen zusätzlichen Aufwand für die Si- gnalübertragung nach sich. Ein drahtloses LAN-Netzwerk ist entweder als Infrarot- oder Funk-LAN ausgebildet, so daß der Sender bzw. Sender/Empfänger in der Geldkassette entsprechend aufgebaut sein muß.For this purpose, the transmitter or transmitter / receiver can be integrated into a wireless LAN network, via which the message signal is routed to the monitoring device. LAN networks of this type are often used in particular for cash register installations with many cash registers in order to connect the cash registers to a central computer. The integration of the transmitter or transmitter / receiver does not require any additional effort for the signal transmission after itself. A wireless LAN network is designed either as an infrared or radio LAN, so that the transmitter or transmitter / receiver in the cash box must be constructed accordingly.
Als Sender bzw. Sender/Empfänger kann auch ein in eine Anordnung zur elektronischen Artikelauszeichnung eingebundenes elektronisches Warenschild verwendet werden, wie es aus der WO 95/21420 AI bekannt ist. Das bekannte Warenschild enthält auch einen Sender, der auf ein Anforde- rungssignal hin eine Information auszusenden vermag. Ein solches Warenschild kann mit einfachen Mitteln in oder an der Geldkassette angebracht und der Sensor mit dessen Signaleingang verbunden werden. Wird das Meldesignal des Sensors als Anforderungssignal auf den Signaleingang des Warenschildes gegeben, so kann dessen Sendekanal als drahtloser Signalweg benutzt werden.An electronic goods label integrated into an arrangement for electronic article labeling can also be used as the transmitter or transmitter / receiver, as is known from WO 95/21420 AI. The known goods label also contains a transmitter which is able to send out information in response to a request signal. Such a label can be attached to or in the cash cassette using simple means and the sensor can be connected to its signal input. If the signal signal from the sensor is sent as a request signal to the signal input on the label, its transmission channel can be used as a wireless signal path.
Ein Warenschild der genannten Art steht serienmäßig zur Verfügung und besitzt eine eigene Stromversorgung. Die Einbindung des Senders bzw. Sender/Empfängers eines in oder an der Geldkassette angebrachten Warenschildes in die Anordnung zur elektronischen Artikelauszeichnung bedeutet also keinen zusätzlichen Aufwand. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Verwendung eines elektronischen Warenschildes ist, daß dessen ohnehin vorhandene Anzeigeeinrichtung als Anzeige für von der Überwachungseinrichtung übertragene Informationen an die Kassierpersonen, beispielsweise einer Warnung vor einem im Haus befindlichen Dieb, benutzt werden kann .A goods label of the type mentioned is available as standard and has its own power supply. The integration of the transmitter or transmitter / receiver of a goods label attached in or on the cash cassette in the arrangement for electronic article labeling therefore means no additional effort. Another advantage of using an electronic goods label is that its display device, which is already present, can be used as a display for information transmitted by the monitoring device to the cashiers, for example a warning of a thief in the house.
Nachfolgend wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung an Hand der beigefügten Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigtAn exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing. It shows

An opening 15 is formed in a wall 14 which closes the lower part 12 of the cassette.
Die Geldkassette 10 kann unabhängig von einer in Fig. 2 dargestellten Registrierkasse 50 transportiert werden. Für ihren Betriebseinsatz wird sie auf eine beispielsweise an einem Kassenplatz ortsfest angeordnete Grundplatte 20 aufgesetzt. Das Kassettenunterteil 12 hat an seiner Unterseite eine Ausnehmung 22, die eine auf der Grund- platte 20 angeordnete Funktionsbaugruppe 24 aufnehmen kann. Die Ausnehmung 22 wird auf ihrer der Vorderseite der Geldkassette 10 zugewandten Seite durch die Wand 14 begrenzt. Die Funktionsbaugruppe umfaßt einen Haltevorsprung 26 mit einer Rastausnehmung 28 und einen in Fig. 2 dargestellten Elektromagneten 48, der zur Entriegelung des Kassettendeckels 18 durch ein beispielsweise von der Registrierkasse 50 abgegebenes elektrisches Betätigungssignal ansteuerbar ist.The cash cassette 10 can be transported independently of a cash register 50 shown in FIG. 2. For its operational use, it is placed on a base plate 20, which is arranged in a stationary manner, for example, at a cash register. The lower part of the cassette 12 has a recess 22 on its underside which can accommodate a functional assembly 24 arranged on the base plate 20. The recess 22 is delimited by the wall 14 on its side facing the front of the cash cassette 10. The functional assembly comprises a retaining projection 26 with a latching recess 28 and an electromagnet 48 shown in FIG. 2, which can be controlled to unlock the cassette cover 18 by an electrical actuation signal, for example, given by the cash register 50.

Außerdem befindet sich im Kassettenunterteil 12 ein Schaltelement 34, welches durch den an der Grundplatte 20 angeordneten Haltevorsprung 26 betätigt wird, wie weiter unten beschrieben wird.Arranged in the interior of the lower part 12 of the cassette is a bolt 30 with a counter-catch 32 intended for engagement in the catch recess 28. In addition, in the lower part 12 of the cassette there is a switching element 34 which is actuated by the holding projection 26 arranged on the base plate 20, as will be described below.
Fig. 2 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung eine Registrierkassenanordnung und deren Blockschaltbild. Die zusammen mit Fig. 1 beschriebene Geldkassette 10 und die Grundplatte 20 sind Teile der Registrierkassenanordnung. Wiederkehrende Teile tragen gleiche Bezugszeichen. In der Geldkassette 10 oder an deren Außenseite, vorzugsweise auf der Außenseite des Kassettendeckels 18, ist ein Warenschild 40 angebracht, wie es aus der WO 95/21420 AI bekannt ist. Die Anordnung des Warenschildes 40 auf dem Kassettendeckel 18 hat den Vorteil, daß dessen Anzeige- einrichtung 44 sich stets im Blickfeld der Kassierperson befindet. Das Warenschild 40 umfaßt einen Warenschild- Prozessor 42, mit dessen Signaleingang 43 das Schaltele- ment 34 verbunden ist. Mit dem Warenschild-Prozessor 42 ist ferner die Anzeigeeinrichtung 44 und eine erste drahtlose bidirektionale Signalübertragungseinrichtung 46 verbunden. Der den Kassettendeckel 18 freigebende Elektromagnet 48 ist an eine nicht dargestellte Schnittstel- lenschaltung in der Registrierkasse 50 angeschlossen, welch letztere von einer Kassentastatur 52 aus bedienbar ist .Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a cash register arrangement and its block diagram. The cash cassette 10 described together with FIG. 1 and the base plate 20 are part of the cash register arrangement. Recurring parts have the same reference numbers. In the cash box 10 or on the outside thereof, preferably on the outside of the cassette cover 18, a goods label 40 is attached, as is known from WO 95/21420 AI. The arrangement of the goods label 40 on the cassette cover 18 has the advantage that its display device 44 is always in the field of vision of the cashier. The goods label 40 comprises a goods label processor 42, to the signal input 43 of which the switching element 34 is connected. The display device 44 and a first wireless bidirectional signal transmission device 46 are also connected to the goods label processor 42. The electromagnet 48 releasing the cassette cover 18 is connected to an interface circuit (not shown) in the cash register 50, the latter being operable from a cash register keyboard 52.
In die Geldkassette 10 ist ein weiteres Schaltelement 64 eingebaut, das sich bei entriegeltem und geöffnetem Kas- settendeckel 18 in seiner geöffneten Stellung befindet und durch Schließen des Kassettendeckels 18 von letzterem in seine Schließstellung gebracht wird. Das weitere Schaltelement 64 ist an einen zweiten Eingang 66 des Warenschild-Prozessors 42 angeschlossen.A further switching element 64 is installed in the cash cassette 10, which is in its open position when the cassette cover 18 is unlocked and open and is brought from the latter into its closed position by closing the cassette cover 18. The further switching element 64 is connected to a second input 66 of the goods label processor 42.
In die Registrierkasse 50 ist eine zweite Signalübertragungseinrichtung 54 eingebaut. Die Registrierkassenanordnung umfaßt ferner eine Zentralstation 56 mit einem zentralen Rechner 58, der mit einer dritten Signalübertragungseinrichtung 60 und einer zentralen Überwachungsein- richtung 62 zusammengeschaltet ist.A second signal transmission device 54 is installed in the cash register 50. The cash register arrangement further comprises a central station 56 with a central computer 58, which is interconnected with a third signal transmission device 60 and a central monitoring device 62.
Zum Verbinden der Geldkassette 10 mit der Grundplatte 20 wird die Geldkassette 10 von oben auf die Grundplatte 20 gesetzt und dann gegen die Kraft einer nicht dargestellten Feder nach hinten geschoben, wie dies durch den Bewe- gungspfeil 36 angedeutet ist. Beim Aufsetzen greift die Funktionsbaugruppe 24 in die Ausnehmung 22 und gleitet beim Verschieben der Geldkassette 10 nach hinten in die strichpunktiert dargestellte Position 24', wobei der Hal- tevorsprung 26 durch die Öffnung 15 in das Innere des Kassettenunterteils 12 eindringt. Der Riegel 30 wird dabei von dem Haltevorsprung 26 in seine gestrichelt dargestellte Position ausgelenkt und rastet schließlich mit seiner Gegenraste 32 in die Rastausnehmung 28 ein.To connect the cash cassette 10 to the base plate 20, the cash cassette 10 is placed on the base plate 20 from above and then pushed back against the force of a spring (not shown), as is determined by the movement supply arrow 36 is indicated. When put on, the functional assembly 24 engages in the recess 22 and slides backwards into the position 24 ′ shown in broken lines when the cash cassette 10 is displaced, the holding projection 26 penetrating through the opening 15 into the interior of the lower part 12 of the cassette. The latch 30 is deflected by the holding projection 26 into its position shown in dashed lines and finally engages with its counter-latch 32 in the latching recess 28.
Beim Verschieben der Geldkassette 10 nach hinten betätigt der Haltevorsprung 26 das Schaltelement 34, welches daraufhin ein Meldesignal 'Geldkassette in Betriebsposition' abgibt. Dieses wird über die erste Signalübertragungseinrichtung 46, die dritte Signalübertragungsein- richtung 60 und den zentralen Rechner 58 zu der Überwachungseinrichtung 62 übertragen. Nun gibt die Kassierperson ihre Benutzernummer über die Kassentastatur 52 oder mit Hilfe eines nicht dargestellten elektronisch lesbaren Ausweises in die Registrierkasse 50 ein und meldet sich damit über die zweite Signalübertragungseinrichtung 54, die dritte Signalübertragungseinrichtung 60 und den zentralen Rechner 58 bei der Überwachungseinrichtung 62 an. Nun ist die Überwachungseinrichtung 62 "scharf" geschaltet.When the cash cassette 10 is moved backwards, the holding projection 26 actuates the switching element 34, which then emits a message signal 'cash cassette in the operating position'. This is transmitted to the monitoring device 62 via the first signal transmission device 46, the third signal transmission device 60 and the central computer 58. Now the cashier enters his user number into the cash register 50 via the cash register keyboard 52 or with the aid of an electronically readable ID (not shown) and thus registers with the monitoring device 62 via the second signal transmission device 54, the third signal transmission device 60 and the central computer 58. The monitoring device 62 is now "armed".
Vor dem Lösen der Geldkassette 10 von der Grundplatte 20 meldet sich die Kassierperson durch eine entsprechende Eingabe auf der Kassentastatur 52 bei der Überwachungs- einrichtung 62 ab. Diese Information wird über den selben Übertragungsweg wie die Kassiereranmeldung übertra- gen. Darauf wird der Kassettendeckel 18 durch das von der Registrierkasse 50 an den Elektromagneten 48 abgegebene elektrische Betätigungssignal geöffnet. Dadurch wird der Riegel 30 zugänglich. Dieser wird nun manuell in Richtung des Pfeils 38 nach unten in seine gestrichelt dargestell- te Position gedrückt, wodurch die Verrastung mit der Rastausnehmung 28 aufgehoben wird. Das Schaltelement 34 gibt ein Meldesignal 'Geldkassette aus Betriebsposition' an die Überwachungseinrichtung 62, die diese Meldung aber erwartet und keinen Alarm auslöst. Die Feder schiebt nun die Geldkassette 10 nach vorne, so daß letztere nach oben von der Grundplatte 20 abgenommen werden kann.Before the cash cassette 10 is detached from the base plate 20, the cashier logs off from the monitoring device 62 by making an appropriate entry on the cash register keyboard 52. This information is transmitted via the same transmission path as the cashier registration. Thereupon the cassette cover 18 is opened by the electrical actuation signal given by the cash register 50 to the electromagnet 48. This makes the bolt 30 accessible. This is now pushed downwards in the direction of arrow 38 into its position shown in dashed lines, as a result of which the locking with the Locking recess 28 is lifted. The switching element 34 issues a 'cash cassette from operating position' signal to the monitoring device 62, which, however, expects this message and does not trigger an alarm. The spring now pushes the cash box 10 forward so that the latter can be removed from the base plate 20 upwards.
Ähnliches gilt für die betriebsmäßige Öffnung des Kassettendeckels 18 während eines Kassiervorganges. Von der Registrierkasse 50 wird jeder Rechnungsabschluß an die Überwachungseinrichtung 62 gemeldet. Danach sendet die Registrierkasse 50 ein Betätigungssignal an den Elektromagneten 48, der Kassettendeckel 18 wird entriegelt und das weitere Schaltelement gibt ein Meldesignal 'Geldkassette geöffnet' an die Überwachungseinrichtung 62 ab, die dieses Meldesignal innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitraumes erwartet hat und deshalb keinen Alarm auslöst.The same applies to the operational opening of the cassette cover 18 during a checkout process. The cash register 50 reports each invoice completion to the monitoring device 62. The cash register 50 then sends an actuation signal to the electromagnet 48, the cassette cover 18 is unlocked and the further switching element emits a 'cash cassette open' signal to the monitoring device 62, which has expected this signal within a certain period of time and therefore does not trigger an alarm.
Wird die Geldkassette 10 bei angemeldeter Kassierperson von der Grundplatte 20 gelöst, gibt das Schaltelement 34 das Meldesignal 'Geldkassette aus Betriebsposition' an die Überwachungseinrichtung 62 ab, die daraufhin einen Alarm auslöst. Wird der Kassettendeckel 18 ohne vorhergehende Meldung eines Rechnungsabschlusses geöffnet, wird ebenfalls der Alarm auslöst. If the cash cassette 10 is detached from the base plate 20 when the cashier is logged on, the switching element 34 emits the "cash cassette from operating position" signal to the monitoring device 62, which then triggers an alarm. If the cassette cover 18 is opened without prior notification of an invoice closing, the alarm is also triggered.
