Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fee collection agency system, and more particularly to a fee collection agency system capable of performing a transfer procedure to a agency by printing fee collection data on a transfer sheet specified by a convenience store or a post office by a portable terminal. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional fee storage agency system, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-283334 or No. 2
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 000-036003, a user brings in a transfer paper on which money amount data is printed in advance, at a convenience store, and
Invoice data such as amount data is input to the OS terminal, the amount is received, and then the invoice data is transferred to the convenience store headquarters, etc., and the convenience store headquarters etc. collect the storage fee and the invoice from each convenience store. Then, the billing data is transferred to each billing company and the storage fee is transferred.

[0003]

The first problem of the above-mentioned conventional fee storage agent system is that the contractor who stores the public utility fee, magazine subscription fee, mail-order fee, etc. by the user (the relevant contract). If the delivery charge other than the price of the product being used is added when the dealer's sales representative / logistics driver) visits the user's house, the final collected amount will actually be paid at the user's house. It may be decided. When the collected sales amount is collected at the user's house, the contractor returns to his / her own sales office and gives the cashier, a copy of receipts, etc., but it is almost outside the transferable time. is there. For this reason, it is difficult to perform the transfer process to the agency within that day. It is not possible to transfer money at a convenience store because the transfer paper cannot be created immediately at the user's house.

A second problem is that the contractor temporarily stores cash when the above-mentioned charges are stored, which causes a cost in terms of security. In addition, even if the money is stored at the sales office, a person in charge of accounting for making the transfer is required, which causes a cost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fee storage agency system which can transfer the money received from the customer from the convenience store or the post office to the agency in the cash processing of the contractor on the same day. is there.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The fee storage agency system of the present invention is a POS terminal (1) at a convenience store, a terminal (2) used by an agency, a sales representative and a logistics driver (hereinafter collectively referred to as a contractor). In a charge collection system interconnected by a terminal (3) dedicated to the terminal (3), a public line, for example, the Internet (4), the contractor has a mobile terminal (5) that prints the collected data as bar code data,
By carrying a transfer paper (6) with a blank amount of money handled at a convenience store or a post office, a means for printing the barcode received from the customer on the transfer paper using a mobile terminal is provided.

Further, the above-mentioned portable terminal (5) has both means for inputting bar code data, means for displaying and confirming print data in advance, means for accumulating print data, and means for communicating with a host. . Furthermore, EAN-12
It also has means for enabling 8 barcode printing.

Further, the above-mentioned transfer paper (6) corresponds to a bill issued by a convenience store or a post office.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a fee storage agency system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a POS terminal 1 installed in a convenience store, a terminal 2 used by an agency, a sales person and a logistics driver (hereinafter A terminal 3 used by a contractor) is interconnected by an internet 4. The contractor brings in advance the mobile terminal 5 and the transfer form 6 handled by the convenience store or the post office. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 5 includes a data input unit 51 for inputting collection data regarding a user as print data of a barcode and a data printing unit for printing the print data of the input barcode. 54, a data display section 53 for displaying and confirming the data to be printed, a data storage section 52 for storing the print data, and a communication with a host communication section (a terminal installed in the agency business headquarters) 55. It has a control unit 50 that performs control for performing.

The overall system flow of this embodiment will be described below in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the contractor prepares the mobile terminal 5 and the transfer sheet 6. Here, the contractor delivers the product to the customer and receives the price (cash) (collection of money in FIG. 2). Next, the contractor uses the mobile terminal 5 to determine the transfer amount from the price and input the transfer amount data,
The transfer amount is printed as bar code data on the transfer paper 6 brought in advance (printing).

Next, the contractor holds the transfer paper 6 on which the transfer amount is printed as bar code data, causes the bar code hand scanner of the POS terminal 1 at the convenience store to read the bar code of the transfer amount, and makes a payment. , Perform the transfer procedure (transfer).

Next, the convenience store transfers the bulletin data as a notice of the completion of the transfer of the payment on the day to the agency as the billing company, and the transfer fee is later transferred to the account of the agency. Next, the agency collects the transfer amount in the preliminary report data and transfers the preliminary report data to the contractor the next day (sorting). In addition, the deadline for the deposit received will be settled separately and will be delivered to the contractor at a later date.

Finally, the contractor can carry out the deposit clearing work on the next day based on the received preliminary report data (clearing).

Next, an embodiment of the mobile terminal owned by the contractor according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 5 includes a data input unit 51 for inputting collection data regarding a user as barcode print data, a data printing unit 54 for printing the input barcode print data, In order to communicate with a data display unit 53 for displaying and confirming data to be printed, a data storage unit 52 for storing the print data, and a higher-level communication unit (a terminal installed in the agency headquarters) 55. It has the control part 50 which controls. The center of the mobile terminal is the control unit 50. The control unit 50 is a higher communication unit 55.
Upload the user's address name and other data to. Then, the data (for example, amount data, etc.) necessary for printing on a bill stored in a convenience store or a post office is downloaded from the upper communication unit 55. In this way, the data necessary for the invoice specified by the convenience store or the post office is transferred to and from the upper communication unit 55. The delivery data is stored in the data storage unit 52. Here, in order to input the amount of money data and the like decided on the spot, the control unit 50 edits the data by sending the data to the control unit 50 using the input unit 51, and the data storage unit 5
2 accumulates the necessary data. In addition, the data display unit 5
Print data is sent to 3 and the contents to be printed are displayed and confirmed. Next, if there is no problem in the print content, the control unit 50 sends the print data to the data printing unit 54. next,
The data printing unit 54 is an EAN-128 corresponding to a sheet corresponding to a bill issued by a convenience store or a post office.
Bar code print data is generated and the bar code data is printed on the bill set in the print section.

The bar code print data is EAN-12.
Instead of 8, other bar code print data may be used.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the contractor is the nearest 2
You can use the designated transfer form at a convenience store or post office that is open for four hours, and you can transfer cash on the same day, so contractors do not have to store cash and security costs can be reduced.
