Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bill receivable processing apparatus for banknotes, and more particularly to a receivable bill receivable apparatus suitable for operation in a game shop such as a pachinko parlor.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Cash management at pachinko and other amusement stores is as follows.
[0003]
At the end of one day of business at a game store, the banknotes distributed and scattered throughout the store are collected in preparation for the next business day. We are working to sort into the number of 1,000 yen bills, (2) the necessary number of 10,000 yen bills / 5,000 yen bills / 1,000 yen bills used to buy special prizes, and (3) gross profit.
[0004]
Here, the banknotes present in the store refer to those present in the machine for lending between coins / medals, the machine for lending between coins, gaming card (prepaid card) vending machines, and currency exchange machines.
[0005]
The clerk sorts the banknotes collected from each of these denominations, counts the number of each denomination (for example, using a banknote counting machine), and sorts them into the above (1) to (3). .
[0006]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the inter-ball lending machine / inter-chamber medal lending machine, the game card vending machine, and the money changer are connected to the hall computer through communication, and the amount of bills present in each machine is determined by the hall computer. However, the fact is that it is not possible to grasp the denomination details.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-described conventional technique, the counting operation itself is somewhat rationalized by using a bill counter, but manual denomination classification is indispensable and requires a great deal of labor.
[0008]
Particularly problematic is the preparation of a special prize exchange price for purchasing special prizes. Here, the special prize purchase system will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0009]
FIG. 9 illustrates the flow of the special prize. A ball or a medal obtained by a player in a game is changed to a special prize by a game store. The player brings the special prize to a prize exchange (a special prize purchaser) near the game store and exchanges it for cash (price {1}). The special prize purchaser has the wholesaler purchase the special prize purchased from the player and receives cash (price (2)). In addition, the wholesaler sells the special prize that it has purchased to a game store and receives cash (price (3)). In this way, special prizes recirculate and cash moves in reverse. This is generally called the “three-store system”.
[0010]
The above-mentioned special prize exchange price directly refers to the price (3), but due to the ultimate distribution to the players, the denominations are 10,000 yen bills, 5,000 yen bills, and 1,000 yen bills. Inclusion is important, and the required number for each denomination is specified in advance.
[0011]
Here, assuming that the 5,000-yen bill is instructed in advance to be 250, if the clerk has classified the denomination into only 200 5,000-yen bills, it will run out of 50-yen bills. Since the replacement operation must be performed with 25 sheets, the trouble of the clerk becomes considerable.
[0012]
This is also due to the fact that the above-mentioned hall computer cannot grasp the denomination details.
[0013]
In view of such circumstances, the present invention uses cash in a game store such as a pachinko parlor, and in particular, under a limited condition in which the denomination details of banknotes present in the store are not grasped, the designated number of denominations for each denomination It is an object of the present invention to provide a sales-payment processing apparatus that can be adapted to this operation by providing a function of appropriation by an alternative denomination in an operation where there is a demand for securing.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

Can be entered A sales information payment processing device having an amount information input unit, wherein the plurality of bills accepted by the bill receiving unit are used based on usage-specific amount information accompanied by denominations input to the amount information input unit. For the denominations that are to be used for a specific use and for which the amount required for the use is specified, the specific denomination is In the case where the number is less than the predetermined denomination, a substitute denomination for substituting the shortfall is preliminarily prepared in the number adjusting unit by the number corresponding to the required amount of the specific denomination, and Is compared with the number actually sent to the storage unit of the specific use, and when the number is less than the specified number, an alternative denomination corresponding to the difference is sent from the number adjustment unit to the storage unit of the specific use. Sales characterized by doing It is achieved by the deposit processing device.
[0015]
Further, the above object of the present invention is configured such that the number adjustment unit of the sales-money deposit processing device is configured to sandwich a bill between two tapes and wind the bill in a spiral shape, and to send out the bill when rewinding. This is achieved more effectively by configuring the plurality of storage units to include at least a gross profit storage unit and an operating money storage unit.
[0016]
Further, the above object of the present invention is to provide the sales receivable processing device further comprising a binding unit, and the binding unit binds the 1000 yen bill as the operating money input from the amount information input unit at a predetermined number of sheets. It is more effectively achieved by configuring it to process.
[0017]

As the configuration of the sheet number adjusting unit 11, for example, a technique disclosed in a known Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-67382 can be used.
[0021]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an online connection state between a currency exchange machine and other devices installed in a general game store and a hall computer. Although FIG. 4 shows that the sales and payment processing apparatus of the present invention is connected to the hall computer online, this is merely an example, and the online connection is not essential for the present invention.
[0022]
FIG. 5 illustrates known information on banknotes processed in a store.
[0023]
6 to 8 are flowcharts showing the flow of the sales deposit processing by the sales deposit processing apparatus according to the present invention.
[0024]
The in-store banknote total amount in FIG. 5 is, specifically, (1) the amount of the banknote present in the currency exchange machine, (2) the amount of the banknote present in the gaming card vending machine, and (3) the inter-ball lending machine / This is the sum of the amounts of the bills present in the stand-to-box medal lending machine.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 4, each of these money changing machines, game card vending machines, daima ball lending machines / daily medal renting machines is connected to the hall computer for communication, and the total amount of each money is taken up by the hall computer. Therefore, data on the total amount of banknotes in the store is sent from the hall computer to the sales and payment processing machine connected online.
[0026]
However, as for the denomination specifications, since the hall device such as the money changer does not have a function of managing the denomination specifications, denomination specification data cannot be obtained. Therefore, in this example (FIG. 5), the denomination details are unknown.
[0027]
The in-store reserve is reserved for business on the next day, and is specifically loaded into a currency exchange machine and a game card vending machine for change, and is composed of only a 1,000-yen bill.
[0028]
As described above, the special prize exchange price is a price for purchasing a special prize from a special prize purchaser, and usually includes three kinds of denominations of 10,000 yen bill / 5,000 yen bill / 1,000 yen bill. It is requested to do.
[0029]
The gross profit is the remainder obtained by subtracting the in-store reserve and the special prize exchange price from the in-store banknote total amount.
[0030]
Hereinafter, at the end of the business at the amusement store, taking the case where the total amount of banknotes present in the store is as shown in FIG. 5 as an example, the payment processing by the sales payment processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described based on the flowchart. explain.
[0031]
First, in the amount information input section, enter 2700 1,000 yen bills as in-store reserve and 975 thousand yen bills / 5,000 yen bills 250/300 thousand yen bills, which are the required number of special premium exchange charges, (FIG. 6: Step S1).
[0032]
Next, the banknotes collected from the currency exchange machine, the gaming card vending machine, the tama ball lending machine / the medal coin lending machine are fed into the banknote receiving unit 1 in a lump (step S2). After the above operation is completed, the start button is pressed (step S3).
[0033]
The processing is started in response to the pressing of the start button, and the banknotes are sequentially fed out from the lowermost banknotes, passed through the denomination discriminating unit, and the denomination is determined, and sorting according to usage is performed (step S4). In the initial stage of the processing start, the pre-sorting to the number adjusting section is preferentially performed.
[0034]
As a result of the discrimination by the denomination discriminating section, if the bill is a 5,000-yen bill, the bill is sent to the number adjusting section 11 and the count value is stored in the storage section 13 (step S5). This is repeated until nine 5,000-yen bills are accumulated in the number adjustment section 11.
[0035]
When nine 5,000-yen bills accumulate in the number adjustment section 11, the next 5,000-yen bill is sent to and stored in the rose storage section 8, and the count value is stored in the storage section 13 (step S6).
[0036]
This process is repeated as long as there is a bill in the bill receiving unit 1. When the number of 5,000-yen bills in the rose storage becomes 241 sheets, the next 5,000-yen bill is sent to the bill cassette 9 and stored in the storage unit 13. The count value is stored (Step S7).
[0037]
In this way, after all the banknotes are removed from the banknote receiving unit, if the last digit of the 5,000-yen bill of the rose storage unit 8 (X is this) is 0, fraction adjustment is unnecessary, The nine 5,000-yen bills in the number adjustment section 11 are all sent to the bill cassette 9, and the count value is stored in the storage section 13 (step S8). On the other hand, if X is not 0, a fraction is generated. Therefore, (10-X) 5,000-yen bills are sent from the number adjustment unit 11 to the rose storage unit 8, the fraction is adjusted, and the count value is stored. (Step S9). When the fraction adjustment of the 5,000-yen bill in the rose storage section 8 is completed in this way, the remaining 5,000-yen bills in the number adjustment section 11 become unnecessary, so all of them are sent to the bill cassette 9 and the count value is stored ( Step S10). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S22 described later, and adjustment is performed so that the number of 5,000-yen bills in the rose storage unit 8 becomes equivalent to 250.
[0038]
On the other hand, the processing in the case where the result of the discrimination by the denomination discriminating section is a 1,000-yen bill will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0039]
First, the first thousand-yen bill is sent to the number adjustment unit 11, and the count value is stored in the storage unit 13 (step S11). This is repeated until nine thousand-yen bills accumulate in the number adjustment section 11.
[0040]
When nine thousand-yen bills accumulate in the number adjusting section 11, the next 1000-yen bill is sent to the binding section 6, and the count value is stored in the storage section 13 (step S12). This is repeated until 100 sheets of 1000-yen bills are accumulated in the binding section 6, and when the number of 100-yen bills reaches 100 sheets, the feeding operation is stopped, and the bundle of 1000-yen bills is sent to the bundle storage section 7 and stored therein (step S13). ). This is repeated until the bundle of 1,000-yen bills reaches 27 bundles (2700 sheets) in the bundle storage unit 7.
[0041]
When the bundle of 1,000 yen bills in the bundle storage unit 7 reaches 27 bundles, the next 1,000 yen bill is sent to the rose storage unit 8 and stored therein, and the count value is stored in the storage unit 13 (step S14). ). This process is repeated as long as there is a banknote in the banknote receiving unit 1. When the number of the 1,000-yen bill in the rose storage unit reaches 291, the next thousand-yen bill is sent to the banknote cassette 9 and counted in the storage unit 13. Is stored (step S15).
[0042]
In this way, after all the bills are removed from the bill receiving section, if the last digit (this is Z) of the number of thousand-yen bills in the rose storage section 8 is 0, the fraction adjustment is unnecessary, so the number of bills is not required. The nine thousand-yen bills in the adjustment unit 11 are all sent to the bill cassette 9, and the count value is stored in the storage unit 13 (step S16). On the other hand, if Z is not 0, a fraction is generated. Therefore, (10-Z) thousand-yen bills are sent from the number adjustment unit 11 to the rose storage unit 8, the fraction is adjusted, and the count value is stored. (Step S17).
[0043]
When the fraction adjustment of the 1,000-yen bill in the rose storage section 8 is completed in this way, the remaining 1000-yen bills in the number adjustment section 11 become unnecessary, so all of them are sent to the bill cassette 9 and the count value is stored (step S18). ).
[0044]
Further, the processing in the case where the result of the discrimination by the denomination discriminating section is a 10,000-yen bill will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0045]
First, as a result of the discrimination by the denomination discriminating section, if the bill is a one-yen bill, the bill is sent to the number adjusting section 11 and the count value is stored in the storage section 13 (step S19). This is repeated until 125 thousand bills are accumulated in the number adjusting section 11.
[0046]
When 125 bills are accumulated in the number adjusting section 11, the next bill is sent to the rose storage section 8 and stored therein, and the count value is stored in the storage section 13 (step S20).
[0047]
This process is repeated as long as there is a banknote in the banknote receiving unit 1. When the number of banknotes in the rose storage unit reaches 975, the next banknote is sent to the banknote cassette 9 and counted in the storage unit 13. Is stored (step S21).
[0048]
In this way, after all the bills are removed from the bill receiving section, in the next step S22 and thereafter, the adjustment is performed such that the number of 975-yen bills and the number of 5,000-yen bills in the rose storage section 8 are equivalent to 250. .
[0049]
Specifically, first, when the 5,000-yen bill of the rose storage section is less than 250 (NO in step S22), the shortage amount is equivalent to the shortage amount from the number adjustment section 11 in order to make up for the shortage with the 10,000-yen bill. The ten-yen bill is sent to the rose storage part 8, and the count value is stored (step S23).
[0050]
Assuming that the number of 5,000-yen bills in the rose storage unit 8 before supplementation is Y (the end is 0), the number of 10,000-yen bills to supplement is (250−Y) / 2 = 125−Y / 2. (Sheets).
[0051]
On the other hand, if the number of 5,000-yen bills in the rose storage section 8 is 250, the number of 10,000-yen bills to be supplemented is zero.
[0052]
By the way, the required number of 10,000-yen bills that must be finally stored in the rose storage unit 8 is obtained by adding (125-Y / 2) alternatives to the 5,000-yen bills to the initial required number of 975 (1100- If the number does not reach this number, the remaining number of the ten thousand notes in the number adjustment unit 11 is used (step S24) to reach (1100-Y / 2). For example, all the remaining 10,000-yen bills in the number adjustment section 11 are sent to the bill cassette 9, and the count value is stored (step S25).
[0053]
As described above, 27 bundles of 1000-yen bills as in-store reserves, 975 million-yen bills and 250 thousand-yen bills as special prize exchange price ), 300 sheets of 1000-yen bills are sorted, and the remainder is put into a bill cassette as gross profit.
[0054]
Note that the banknote cassette is handled by security guards of an external security company that has a consignment relationship with the store, so in order to clarify the responsibilities, the banknote cassette is not sent to the banknote cassette immediately, but above the banknote cassette. The temporary storage unit may be temporarily sent to the banknote storage unit, and the gross profit obtained from the hall computer may be compared with the count value of the apparatus.
[0055]
【The invention's effect】
Reserve the alternative denominations for the specific denomination in advance by the converted number, secure the shortfall of the specific denomination with this alternative denomination, and send out the remaining alternative denomination bills to the storage unit for other uses With such a function, even if the denomination details of the entire banknote are not known, it is possible to make the desired number of sheets of the specific denomination as uniform as possible.
