Description

  The present invention is a depositor management that can quickly detect when a depositor is in danger by managing the deposit time of the depositor when the depositor deposits sales proceeds of a store or the like into a deposit machine, for example. More particularly, the present invention relates to a depositor management system for determining an abnormality when a depositor does not perform deposit processing in a deposit processing time zone registered in advance in a monitoring center. Further, the present invention relates to a depositor management system that abnormally determines a depositor's deposit behavior abnormality when deposit processing is performed from a deposit machine other than the deposit machine originally used by the depositor.

Conventionally, the depositor puts the sales proceeds of the store into the night safe, and the sales proceeds are secured by financial institutions and security companies. However, it is left up to the depositor himself to secure the safety until the depositor goes to the night safe window, and even if the depositor is attacked in the middle of the deposit, there is a possibility that it will not be detected immediately due to the action at night.

Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of this depositor, the deposit machine is seen as much as possible, such as downtown and convenience stores, and the place where the depositor's action is not clearly understood to be the purpose of deposit is selected and arranged. Yes.

The entered customer ID number is checked against the customer ID stored in advance in the deposit machine storage means 14 and the deposit machine control means 13 determines whether or not it is valid (step 3). If it is determined that the verification is OK (valid), the bill and coin insertion slots 11 are opened (step 5). If it is determined that the verification is inappropriate, the fact is displayed on the deposit machine display means 12 (step 4). If the depositor is OK in step 3, the depositor inserts bills and coins from each insertion slot 11 (step 6). The inserted bills and coins are counted for each denomination by the counting means 16, and the total amount is displayed as a deposit amount on the deposit machine display means 12 (step 7). The depositor presses the confirm button 104 when the displayed deposit amount is correct (step 8). The deposit machine control means 13 determines that the deposit process has been properly performed when the confirmation button 104 is pressed, and sends the deposit data including the deposit machine ID number and the customer code from the deposit machine transmission means 15 to the funds management center (not shown). At the same time, deposit data is stored in the deposit machine storage means 14 for each ID (customer) (step 9), and a deposit processing signal including the deposit machine ID number and customer code is transmitted to the monitoring center 3 via the communication network 2. (Step 10).

Next, the operation flow of the center control means 31 of the monitoring center 3 in the depositor management system according to the first and second inventions will be described with reference to FIG.
The center control means 31 periodically determines whether or not the deposit processing time has started for each customer from the center storage means 32 (step 11). The center control means 31 waits for receipt of a deposit processing signal in the deposit processing time zone (until the end time) via the receiving means 30 (steps 12 and 13). If no deposit processing signal is received by the end time of the deposit processing time zone (YES in step 12), an abnormality is displayed on the center display means 33 as an abnormality has occurred in the depositor (step 17). The controller takes appropriate measures such as calling the emergency contact displayed on the center display means 33 or sending an e-mail address. If YES in step 13, it is verified whether or not the depositing machine 1 that has received the deposit is the depositing machine 1 registered in the use depositing machine column 42 of the depositing processing time zone table 40 (step 14). If the verification is OK, the center display means 43 displays that the depositor has been processed normally (step 15). Although the present embodiment has been described so that the display is also performed in the case of normal processing, it may not be displayed particularly in the case of normal processing. If the collation in step 14 is NO, it is determined that the depositing behavior of the depositor is different, a preliminary abnormality is displayed on the center display means 43 (step 16), and the customer is informed that the depositing process is performed by a different depositing machine 3 for the emergency contact. Contact the person responsible for or the emergency contact person. This is because the person in charge of the customer or the person in charge of the emergency contact needs to investigate the reason why the customer could not input from the deposit machine 3 that should be used from the viewpoint of the behavior management of the depositor.

As described above, in the present invention, the deposit processing time zone stored in the center storage means 32 is registered for each customer. However, if a plurality of stores of the same company, the deposit processing time zone is fixed. Good.

Further, as described above, in the present invention, the deposit processing time zone stored in the center storage unit 32 registers the deposit processing start time and the deposit processing end time, but the closing time of each customer registered separately. The time when a predetermined time has elapsed from the closing time may be set as the payment processing end time.
