Description

  The present invention relates to a deposit / withdrawal processing apparatus that is installed in a store or a tenant such as a retail store and can distribute the deposited cash into sales and change reserves.

As a conventional deposit / withdrawal processing device, all the sales proceeds of the store are accepted and the denomination is identified, the denominated banknotes are stored in the denomination cassette by denomination mixing, and the denominated coins are gold It is stored in a coin cassette by seed mixing.
The sales here are the sum of the cash paid by the customer and the change reserve previously prepared by the store for change.

The bill cassettes and coin cassettes containing the sales proceeds will be collected by the security guards of the security company that has a consignment relationship with the store. At that time, the security guard will prepare the change for the next day for the store. Bring your own.
Therefore, in order to eliminate the act of bringing change reserves by this security guard, the gross profit is stored in a cassette collected by the security company, and the change reserve prepared at other stores is stored in a separate cassette. The technique which develops was developed (for example, refer patent document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-54456

However, in the conventional technology described above, the stored banknotes are only stored separately as sales (gross profit) and change reserves. When preparing the change reserve for the next day, the change reserve of the device is The store manager had to manually remove the stored cassette and count the required number.
The act of taking out by the store manager by hand may cause fraud or cause cash troubles due to manual counting.

In addition, during the sales receipt operation, if it is not possible to distribute the change reserve and the sales proceeds only with the received cash, the transfer process from the change reserve to the sales proceeds, but the transfer process to the sales proceeds thereafter. There is a problem that it may not be possible to withdraw the required number of money for the change payment withdrawal transaction.
In order to solve such a problem, the present invention has an object to control distribution to sales proceeds and change reserves at the time of deposit, and to preferentially store high denominations unnecessary as change reserves as sales proceeds. And

  Therefore, the present invention provides a banknote reception unit that receives banknotes, a separation unit that separates the banknotes received by the banknote reception unit one by one, a recognition unit that identifies the denomination of banknotes, and a sorting unit that sorts banknotes according to use. And a plurality of storage units for the sales money storage unit and the change reserve storage unit each storing the sorted banknotes, and an amount information input unit capable of inputting and storing amount information according to usage, The banknotes received by the banknote customer service section are sorted by the sorting section based on the usage amount information input to the section, and stored in any of the plurality of storage sections, and the designated number of denominations are prepared for change It is characterized by withdrawing money from the gold storage part.

  The present invention as described above can realize a sales deposit processing function which is a function for separately storing sales and change reserves, and a change reserve dispensing function required for operation in the store. It is possible to reduce fraud and cash troubles that occur when taking out money, and also take into account when two-end occurrence or two-affle occurrence of a large number of change reserves managed in the device There is an effect that the number of sheets can be maintained efficiently.

  Furthermore, when storing in a sales money storage part, it has the effect that it can be made into a required sales amount by the banknote movement process between other storage parts.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a deposit / withdrawal processing apparatus showing the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of a bill sales storage unit and a change reserve storage unit.
In the figure, 1 is a bill part, 2 is a coin part, and 3 is an amount information input part, which is a key input, touch panel input, external communication input, reference input by calling a prestored value instead of each input Various types of input are possible.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a transaction selection input unit, which selects replenishment of change reserve, withdrawal of change reserve, deposit or setting of sales, and the like.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a transaction information input unit for inputting information such as information on a handler, a store number, and a cash register number, which may be read by reading card information such as a magnetic card or an IC card.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a display unit.
In FIG. 3, 7 is a customer service section, 8 is a temporary storage section, 9 is a recognition section, 10 is a sales receipt storage section, 11 and 12 are change reserve storage sections, 13 is a reject banknote storage section, and 14 is loaded. The banknote separation unit 15 is a sorting unit for sales proceeds storage units, and 16 and 17 are sorting units for each change reserve storage unit.

In general, the deposit / withdrawal processing device is connected to a host device that is collectively managed outside the store. FIG. 4 shows an example of LAN connection via HUB or direct connection, and FIG. 5 shows an ISDN line. It is an example of using and connecting. However, this device does not necessarily have to be connected to the host device.
The change reserve is reserved for the next business day. Specifically, it is a change reserve to be put into the cash register. For example, a 5,000 yen bill, a thousand yen bill, 500 yen, 100 yen, It consists of 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen and 1 yen coins.

The sales amount is the remainder obtained by subtracting the change reserves withdrawn from the apparatus from the total amount deposited into the apparatus.
Example 1
The overall operation of the above configuration will be described.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by a control unit (not shown) based on a program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown).

Since this apparatus handles cash, prior to the operation, the transaction information input unit 5 inputs necessary information such as operator ID information for the purpose of enhancing security.
Replenishment operation The device is loaded with a certain change reserve in advance. In order to load the change reserve, replenishment is designated by the transaction selection information input unit 4, and the loading process is performed from the customer service unit 7 of each bill and coin. The bills are loaded with 5,000 yen bills, thousand yen bills, and coins required as change reserves of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen and 1 yen.

The loaded banknotes are separated from the customer service unit 7 by the separation unit 14, denominated by the recognition unit 9, sorted by the sorting units 16 and 17, and stored in the change reserve storage units 11 and 12. .
Similarly, the loaded coins are stored in the change preparation storage unit according to denomination.
Withdrawal operation of change reserve The withdrawal is designated by the transaction selection input unit 4 and the required denomination number is entered by the amount information input unit 3. The specified number of sheets are paid out from the change reserve storage units 11 and 12 and withdrawn to the customer service unit 7. The withdrawal is received and the process ends.

At that time, it is also possible to connect a receipt printer and print the withdrawal result and the information of the handler.
In addition, as a change payment, the apparatus manages which store and which cash register have been changed.
Payment operation of sales proceeds Although the transaction selection input unit 4 designates the payment and the amount information input unit 3 inputs the sales proceeds, this sales input is not necessarily required. This is because the device storage unit stores the amount of money withdrawn as change reserve, and therefore the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of change withdrawn from the amount deposited is the sales.

After entering the sales proceeds, bills and coins are inserted into the deposit section. The banknotes and coins to be deposited at this time are a mixture of sales proceeds and change reserves withdrawn in advance.
The received banknotes are separated one by one from the customer service unit 7, counted by the recognition unit 9, and accumulated in the temporary storage unit 8. The deposited money is also separated one by one, counted by a recognition unit (not shown), and accumulated in a temporary storage unit (not shown).

After the counting of bills and coins is completed, the counting result, the sales input result, and the value withdrawn as a change reserve are displayed on the display unit 6 to allow the operator to confirm. If the operator confirms the display contents and there is a confirmation instruction, the bills and money of the temporary storage unit 8 are stored in each storage unit.
The banknotes are sorted by the amount entered as sales (if there is no input, the difference between the deposit amount and the change amount) and stored in the sales storage unit 10 but stored in the sales. The denominations that are not handled as denominations that can be withdrawn as change reserves are preferentially stored.

In addition, the sales money storage denomination is also changed based on the information on the number of denominations that can be withdrawn as change reserves. As an example, when the number of denominations with a change reserve is equal to or less than the number of two ends, the corresponding denomination is stored in the change reserve and other denominations are stored in sales.
The following is an example when two end occurs.
If the amount of the 5,000 yen note of change reserve is less than 2 ends, one 5,000 yen bill and five thousand yen bills are deposited and the sales amount is 5,000 yen. Yen bills are stored in change reserves, and five thousand yen bills are stored in sales. The two-end calculation method is as shown in FIGS.

In other words, the calculation to be preferentially stored in a place below the second end is calculated so that when there is a denomination less than the second end after depositing, it is preferentially turned to change in the order of the number of sheets up to the second end.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the amount of money when all the deposited cash is deposited as change is calculated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the number of changeable numbers is calculated to be less than or equal to two ends. This is preferentially processed as change.
Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the changeable number of sheets is calculated by subtracting the changeable number from the full number. This is for sales in an order that can not be afforded.
Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the denominations are rearranged in descending order of the number of sheets up to full.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the number of coins to be changed is calculated in the order of denominations with less margin than two ends.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 11, the process is finished by dividing the deposited banknote into the change reserve and the change from the change into the sales. This is calculated only for banknotes. This is because coins do not need to be divided into sales and change, and are therefore processed as a change payment.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a sales deposit processing function that is a function of separately storing sales and change reserves and a change reserve dispensing function that is necessary for operation in the store, It is possible to reduce fraud and cash troubles that occur when taking out change reserves, and more efficiently considering the occurrence of two-end occurrence of a large number of change reserves managed in the device. There is an effect that can be maintained.

Example 2
According to the deposit / withdrawal processing apparatus configured as described above, the following operations can also be performed.
The overall operation of the above configuration will be described.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by a control unit (not shown) based on a program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown).

Since this apparatus handles cash, prior to the operation, the transaction information input unit 5 inputs necessary information such as operator ID information for the purpose of enhancing security.
Replenishment operation The device is loaded with a certain change reserve in advance. In order to load the change reserve, the transaction selection input unit 4 designates replenishment, and a loading process is performed from the customer service unit 7 of each bill and coin. The bills are loaded with 5,000 yen bills, thousand yen bills, and coins required as change reserves of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen and 1 yen.

The loaded banknotes are separated from the customer service unit 7 by the separation unit 14, denominated by the recognition unit 9, sorted by the sorting units 16 and 17, and stored in the change reserve storage units 11 and 12.
The loaded coins are similarly stored in the change reserve storage unit according to denomination.
Withdrawal operation of change reserve The withdrawal is designated by the transaction selection input unit 4 and the required denomination number is entered by the amount information input unit 3. The specified number of sheets are paid out from the change reserve storage units 11 and 12 and withdrawn to the customer service unit 7. The withdrawal is received and the process ends.

At that time, it is also possible to connect a receipt printer and print the withdrawal result and the information of the handler.
In addition, as a change payment, the apparatus manages which store and which cash register have been changed.
Payment operation of sales proceeds Although the transaction selection input unit 4 designates the payment and the amount information input unit 3 inputs the sales proceeds, this sales input is not necessarily required. This is because the device storage unit stores the amount of money withdrawn as change reserve, and therefore the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of change withdrawn from the amount deposited is the sales.

After entering the sales proceeds, bills and coins are inserted into the deposit section. The banknotes and coins to be deposited at this time are a mixture of sales proceeds and change reserves withdrawn in advance.
The deposited banknotes are separated one by one from the customer service unit 7 by the separation unit 14, counted by the recognition unit 9, and accumulated in the temporary storage unit 8. The deposited money is also separated one by one, counted by a recognition unit (not shown), and accumulated in a temporary storage unit (not shown).

After the counting of bills and coins is completed, the counting result, the sales input result, and the value withdrawn as a change reserve are displayed on the display unit 6 to allow the operator to confirm. If the operator confirms the display contents and there is a confirmation instruction, the bills and money of the temporary storage unit 8 are stored in each storage unit.
The banknotes are sorted as sales proceeds (if there is no input, the difference between the deposit amount and the change reserve amount) is sorted by the sorting unit 15 and stored in the sales storage unit 10, but stored in the sales. The denominations that are not handled as denominations that can be withdrawn as change reserves are preferentially stored.

In addition, the sales money storage denomination is also changed based on the information on the number of denominations that can be withdrawn as change reserves. As an example, when the number of denominations with a change reserve is more than 2 full, the corresponding denomination is stored with priority over sales.
The following is an example when two fulls occur.
If the thousand yen bill of change reserve is in a full state, one 10,000 yen bill, two 5,000 yen bills and 10 thousand yen bills are deposited, and the sales amount is 10,000 yen, the 10,000 yen bill One sheet and two five thousand yen bills are stored in the change reserve, and ten thousand yen bills are stored in the sales proceeds. FIG. 12 to FIG. 17 show the contents of control when two fulls occur.

In other words, the calculation to preferentially turn over the amount that exceeds 2 Afuls, if there is a denomination that exceeds 2 Afuls after depositing, it will be preferentially turned to sales in order from the smallest number to the full. calculate.
Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the amount of money when all the deposited cash is deposited as change is calculated.

Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the number of changeable sheets that exceeds two affles is calculated. This is preferentially processed as sales.
Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the changeable number of sheets is calculated by subtracting the changeable number from the full number. This is for sales in an order that can not be afforded.
Next, as shown in FIG. 15, the denominations are rearranged in ascending order of the number of sheets up to full.

Next, as shown in FIG. 16, the number of sheets that are used for sales in the order of denominations that do not have a margin to full is calculated.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 17, the process ends by dividing the number of sales deposits exceeding the two-aful amount from the deposited banknotes and changing from change to sales. This is calculated only for banknotes. This is because coins do not need to be divided into sales and change, and are therefore processed as a change payment.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a sales deposit processing function that is a function of separately storing sales and change reserves and a change reserve dispensing function that is necessary for operation in the store, It is possible to reduce fraud and cash troubles that occur when taking out change reserves, and efficiently considering the amount of change reserves managed in the device even when two full occurrences occur. There is an effect that can be maintained.

Example 3
According to the deposit / withdrawal processing apparatus configured as described above, the following operations can also be performed.
The overall operation of the above configuration will be described.
The operation of each unit described below is controlled by a control unit (not shown) based on a program (software) stored in a storage unit (not shown).

Since this apparatus handles cash, prior to the operation, the transaction information input unit 5 inputs necessary information such as operator ID information for the purpose of enhancing security.
Replenishment operation The device is loaded with a certain change reserve in advance. In order to load the change reserve, replenishment is designated by the transaction selection information input unit 4, and the loading process is performed from the customer service unit 7 of each bill and coin. The bills are loaded with 5,000 yen bills, thousand yen bills, and coins required as change reserves of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen and 1 yen.

The loaded banknotes are separated from the customer service unit 7 by the separation unit 14, denominated by the recognition unit 9, sorted by the sorting units 16 and 17, and stored in the change reserve storage units 11 and 12.
The loaded coins are similarly stored in the change reserve storage unit according to denomination.
Withdrawal operation of change reserve The withdrawal is designated by the transaction selection input unit 4 and the required denomination number is entered by the amount information input unit 3. The specified number of sheets are paid out from the change reserve storage units 11 and 12 and withdrawn to the customer service unit 7. The withdrawal is received and the process ends.

At that time, it is also possible to connect a receipt printer and print the withdrawal result and the information of the handler.
In addition, as a change payment, the apparatus manages which store and which cash register have been changed.
Payment operation of sales proceeds Although the transaction selection input unit 4 designates the payment and the amount information input unit 3 inputs the sales proceeds, this sales input is not necessarily required. This is because the device storage unit stores the amount of money withdrawn as change reserve, and therefore the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of change withdrawn from the amount deposited is the sales.

After entering the sales proceeds, bills and coins are inserted into the deposit section. The banknotes and coins to be deposited at this time are a mixture of sales proceeds and change reserves withdrawn in advance.
The deposited banknotes are separated one by one from the customer service unit 7 by the separation unit 14, counted by the recognition unit 9, and accumulated in the temporary storage unit 8. The deposited money is also separated one by one, counted by a recognition unit (not shown), and accumulated in a temporary storage unit (not shown).

After the counting of bills and coins is completed, the counting result, the sales input result, and the value withdrawn as a change reserve are displayed on the display unit 6 to allow the operator to confirm. If the operator confirms the display contents and there is a confirmation instruction, the bills and money of the temporary storage unit 8 are stored in each storage unit.
The banknotes are sorted as sales proceeds (if there is no input, the difference between the deposit amount and the change reserve amount) is sorted by the sorting unit 15 and stored in the sales storage unit 10, but stored in the sales. The denominations that are not handled as denominations that can be withdrawn as change reserves are preferentially stored.

In addition, the sales money storage denomination is also changed based on the information on the number of denominations that can be withdrawn as change reserves.
If the thousand yen bill of change reserve is in a full state, one 10,000 yen bill, two 5,000 yen bills and 10 thousand yen bills are deposited and the sales amount is 10,000 yen, then 10,000 yen One bill and two five thousand yen bills are stored in the change reserve, and ten thousand yen bills are stored in the sales.

Further, depending on the number of denominations, it may not be possible to store in the sales proceeds with only the banknotes deposited.
For example, if the deposit is only two 10,000 yen bills and the sales amount is 11,000 yen, only the 10,000 yen bill can be stored in the sales receipt storage department, but the remaining 1,000 yen is deposited. Banknotes cannot be stored in sales.

  In such a case, movement between banknote stackers is performed, and sales are corrected. The inter-stacker movement refers to a process of moving banknotes between the storage units 10, 11, and 12 via the temporary storage unit 8. In this case, one 10,000-yen bill is stored in the sales money storage unit 10, and the remaining 10,000-yen bill is stored in the reject banknote storage unit 13 which is a change reserve storage unit. The inter-stacker movement is performed in the sales proceeds storage unit 10. By performing this process, it becomes possible to store the deposited banknotes separately into sales proceeds and change reserves.

Even when the inter-stacker movement is performed, the denomination is controlled according to the condition of the number of change reserves.
As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a sales deposit processing function that is a function for storing sales and change reserve separately and a change reserve dispensing function that is required for operation in the store, It is possible to reduce fraud and cash troubles that occur when taking out change reserves. In addition, the number of change reserves managed in the device can be efficiently transferred by moving between stackers. Can be maintained.
