Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash handling machine such as a cash machine for managing cash deposits and withdrawals installed in financial institutions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a financial institution such as a bank is provided with a teller machine as a cash processing machine for managing cash deposits and withdrawals in a store. They make cash withdrawals and cash withdrawals collected from deposit / withdrawal machines at the counter. In addition, the cashier conducts large-scale deposit and withdrawal transactions directly using the cashier, and the foreign affairs staff performs the withdrawal processing carried out to the external customer (customer) and the incoming payment processing such as cash brought back from the external customer. There is.

Such a cash processing machine generally manages and deposits the withdrawal / withdrawal process of the current day as the withdrawal / withdrawal process of the account day, and, for example, the withdrawal process brought out by the liaison officer the next day is the withdrawal process for the next day. It manages and aggregates two types of data: managing and aggregating processed data.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the depositing / withdrawing process for the current day (3 days) is completed, the administrator collects the tightening on the day (3 days), creates a tightening table, and collects the data and the actual item. When the agreement is reached, the data for the accounting date (3 days) is cleared after reporting to the headquarters. After clearing the data, the processing within the deadline is prohibited and the processing for depositing / withdrawing for 3 days cannot be performed. On the other hand, even after the completion of the tightening table and the data clear, the data for the next day (4 days) can be processed continuously, and the machine power is turned off when all the processing is completed ( OFF) I'm supposed to go home.

Then, the machine is turned on (ON) at the beginning of the morning of the next day (4th), and it is checked whether the accounting date (3rd) and today (4th) match in the startup process. Automatically, and if different, the accounting date (3
(Day) data has been cleared, the day before
Data migration processing is performed to migrate the data for the next day input on (3 days) to the accounting date (for 4 days). After that, today's (4th) deposit and withdrawal processing and the next day's (5
Withdrawal processing is performed in parallel with each other, and each is managed and aggregated.

If the data for the current day (3rd day) is not cleared and the next day (4th day) is reached, "forget clear" is displayed as shown in FIG. 11 to prompt the operator to perform the clear process. It is like this. If you forget to clear the data and clear the data, the data will be transferred after checking the next business day (4 days). After that, the data for today (4 days) and the next day (5 days) will be processed in the same way as the previous day. ) Data could be managed and aggregated respectively.

[0007]

When the power is forgotten to be turned off even if the data is cleared in the above cash processing machine, the data transfer processing is not performed because the activation processing is not performed as shown in FIG. You will not be able to enter data for the current day (4th), so you will notice something unusual. That is,
Even if the person who came first thing in the morning misunderstood that the power was turned on this morning by another person, the data had already been cleared the day before (3rd), so the processing within the deadline was still prohibited, and the deposit / withdrawal Since you cannot do this, you will notice an abnormality in the device.
If the power is once turned off after the abnormality is noticed and then turned on again, the apparatus is restarted and the data migration processing is also performed, so that the normal deposit / withdrawal processing can be performed thereafter.

Here, when both forgetting to clear the tightening and forgetting to turn off the power supply overlap, even if the date changes, as shown in FIG. 13, as a continuation from the previous day (3 days), the current day (4
There is a problem that data can be entered even in (Sunday), and deposits and withdrawals are processed without noticing abnormalities. In other words, it is possible that what you deposited with the intention of 4 days is actually the account of 3 days, or the data you deposited with the intention of 4 days is cleared and the transaction itself disappears. To be There is also a problem that the next day's withdrawal, which is intended to be a 5th sunrise, becomes a 4th sunrise.

The present invention has been made under the circumstances as described above, and an object of the present invention is to display a date change when the date is changed after midnight.
An object of the present invention is to provide a cash processing machine which prevents accidental processing even if the user forgets to clear it or forgets to turn off the power.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cash processing machine having a display section for performing cash deposit / withdrawal processing, and managing separately the deposit / withdrawal data for today and the deposit / withdrawal data for the next day. The above object of the present invention can be achieved by providing a function of displaying a date change display on the display unit at least before the deposit / withdrawal process when the date is changed while the power is on.

Further, the above object of the present invention is to display the date change display and to transfer the deposit / withdrawal data for the next day to the deposit / withdrawal data for today, or to continue the processing without data transfer. A selection display for selecting whether to perform is displayed on the display unit, and when the data transfer is selected, a data transfer process for transferring the deposit / withdrawal data for the next day to the deposit / withdrawal data for today is performed. By doing so, or prior to the data migration process, a date check and a data clear check are performed, the date of today's deposit / withdrawal data differs from today's date, and the process of clearing today's deposit / withdrawal data has not been performed. In this case, by restarting the cash processing machine, by displaying forgot to clear, or by the date check and the data clear check and the data transfer process. By so performed in sense, it is more effectively achieved.

The operation of the above arrangement will be described below.

The normal operation of the cash handling machine 1 is the same as that described above. To use the cash handling machine 1, an operator inserts a predetermined ID card into the card reader 53 or a predetermined I card.
The D code is input from the keyboard 55, and authentication is performed by confirming the input data before starting. This authentication uses the data from the card reader 53 as a CP.
This is performed by the U2 reading or the CPU2 reading the data input from the keyboard 55.

After the cash processing machine 1 is started, as shown in FIG. 10, deposit / withdrawal processing for today (account date) and deposit / withdrawal processing for the next day are performed on the accounting day (3 days), and the same processing as described above is performed. I do.
Then, after closing the accounting date, the data for today is cleared, the power is turned off, and the user returns home. This is a general operation, but as shown in FIG.
If the cash processing machine 1 of the present invention forgets to tighten and clear the power, and forgets to turn off the power, the cash processing machine 1 of the present invention tries to perform the deposit / withdrawal processing on the next day (4th day) after the date is changed. , "Date change display" is displayed on the display unit 52. In other words, when the operator returns home with the power left forgotten and tries to perform a deposit / withdrawal process using the cash processor 1 with the power turned on next morning (note that the operator to be used is not specified. Therefore, if the power is on, it is determined that someone turned it on in the morning.) In this example, when the standby screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 52, the cash processor 1 is used. The operator inserts a predetermined ID card into the card reader 53 or inputs a predetermined ID code from the keyboard 55. When authentication is obtained by this input, the screen is switched to the operation screen as shown in FIG.

On the operation screen, "The date has changed."
Is displayed. As a result, the operator can know that the date of the accounting day data and today's date have changed, that is, the accounting day is 3 days but already 4 days. Along with this, "Do you want to restart?" Is displayed, and you can instruct to restart. In this example, a data migration process of migrating the deposit / withdrawal data for the next day to the deposit / withdrawal data for today (accounting date) by restarting is performed. Details will be described later.

When "restart" is performed on the operation screen shown in FIG. 5, "1. Yes" is instructed. This instruction is given by the keyboard 55. When "2. No" is instructed on the screen shown in FIG. 5, the main menu screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. Regular deposit by this main menu screen,
Withdrawal, next day deposit, next day withdrawal, etc. can be performed continuously. In other words, if the date has changed due to overtime, etc., the restart process (data migration process) will not be performed by selecting “2.
As shown in, even after the date has changed to 4, the data of 3 days can be processed as today's deposit / withdrawal data, and the data of 4 days can be processed as deposit / withdrawal data for the next day. There is.

Next, the tightening process will be described with reference to the flow of FIG. In the tightening process, the data for today (account date) is totaled and the transaction on the account date is completed. That is,
When the keyboard 55 is instructed to display the cover sheet, the printer 41 performs the cover sheet display processing (step S1), turns on the cover sheet flag, and ends the processing (step S2). The appearance flag is provided so that it is possible to determine whether or not the tightening process for today's data has been performed.

Next, the clearing process will be described according to the flow of FIG. The clearing process is to clear the data for today. First, the CPU 2 determines whether or not the form is displayed according to the state of the output flag (step S20). Is this OK? "Is displayed (step S21), and it is determined whether" 2. No "has been selected on the operation screen of FIG. 5 (step S22). Then, when "2. No" is selected, the clearing process is exited, the process proceeds to the menu screen of FIG. 6 (step S27), and the tightening process can be restarted or the tightening process can be performed according to the menu screen. You will be contacted by a higher-ranked person to have the tightening process performed. If "2. No" is not selected in step S22, the process stands by until "1. Yes" is selected (step S23). When "1. Yes" is selected, the print-out table of the data before clearing is made by the printer 41 (step S24), and then the data for today is automatically cleared (step S25), and the table-out flag is turned off. (Step S26), the process ends. If the form is displayed in step S20, step S2 is performed.
Go to 4.

Next, the restart process will be described according to the flow of FIG. The restart process is usually performed when an error or the like occurs in the cash processing machine, and in this example, the data transfer process of the present invention is performed during the restart process. In order to determine whether or not to perform, the date check whether the date of the account date and today's date match, and the data clear check whether the data of the account date are cleared are performed. There is.

That is, first, the CPU 2 checks each part by reloading the program (step S10), and determines whether or not the date (account date) of today's deposit / withdrawal data matches today's date ( Step S11) ends if today is the accounting day. If today is not the accounting day in step S11, it is determined whether or not the today's deposit / withdrawal data has been cleared (step S12). If cleared, data migration processing is performed, and the next day The deposit / withdrawal data for the minutes is transferred to the deposit / withdrawal data for today (step S13). If the data has not been cleared in step S12, "forget clear" is displayed as in the upper right part of FIG. 6 (step S14).

In the above-described embodiment, the activation of the cash processing machine is performed by I
Although it is performed by inserting the D card or inputting the ID code, any method can be used as long as it can be authenticated that the operator is a legitimate operator. Although the date change display is performed on the operation screen after the operator has been authenticated, any method that allows the operator to confirm the date change may be used. The external appearance and internal configuration of the cash processing machine are not limited to those in the embodiments.

[0027]

As described above, according to the cash processing machine of the present invention, even if the data is forgotten to be cleared and the power is forgotten to be turned off due to the change of the date from the accounting date to the next day, the predetermined operation is performed according to the date change display. Since the deposit / withdrawal process cannot be performed without performing the operation of, it is possible to prevent the operator from mistakenly performing the deposit / withdrawal process. Also, due to the date change display, even if you forget to turn off the power,
I know that it is necessary to update the date clearly, and I am prompted to restart, so I will not process it as a continuation of the previous day.
