Description

  The present invention is installed in retail stores such as department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, etc., and sales facilities such as railway stations, and cash for change to automatic processing terminals such as registers and ticket machines installed in the sales facilities A cash management device that performs cash withdrawals, deposits of cash collected from automatic processing terminals, and tightens sales.

  A conventional cash management apparatus performs a bill insertion / withdrawal port for loading and unloading bills, a bill change storage for storing bills for change, a bill safe for storing bills for sales, and coins Equipped with a coin deposit port, a coin dispensing port for delivering coins, a coin change storage for storing coins for change, and a coin safe for storing coins for sales, storing cash collected from the register In the deposit process, the banknotes and coins are inserted into the banknote deposit / withdrawal slot and the coin deposit slot by the employee, and when the deposit amount is confirmed, the sales amount is entered, and the amount of sales more than 1,000 yen is 10,000 Prioritize yen bills and store them in banknote safe boxes, pay out fractions of a thousand yen from the coin change storage, store them in coin safes, and store banknotes and coins corresponding to sales amounts in each safe. , Stored in each change storage When collecting surplus banknotes and coins of different denominations and collecting sales from the cash management device, the person in charge of collection and delivery takes out the banknote safe and coin safe where the sales are stored, and creates a new empty banknote. A safe and a coin safe are attached to a cash management device to collect sales (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, in order to improve the recycle efficiency of change, the applicant, in Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-18382, uses a cash management apparatus having the same configuration, and stores the reference storage amount when storing banknotes other than the change denomination in the banknote safe. Is set in advance, and the deposit amount is limited to the standard deposit amount, and if the deposit amount exceeds the standard deposit amount, the cumulative sales amount that is the cumulative addition of the sales amount at the deposit process is limited to the bill deposit / withdrawal port. Banknotes other than the entered change denominations are stored in the banknote safe, and the change denomination banknotes and coins inserted in the banknote deposit / withdrawal port are stored in each change storage to improve recycling efficiency. Technology for paying out banknotes and coins constituting the insufficient sales amount from each change storage and storing them in each safe (mainly, paragraphs 0049-0059 and 006 in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-18382) It has proposed a -0069).
JP-A-2006-155326 (page 4, paragraph 0014-page 5, paragraph 0021, page 7, paragraph 0040-page 9, paragraph 0051, page 10, paragraphs 0064-0065, FIGS. 1, 5)

However, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described above, since a plurality of employees individually handle the cash management apparatus, it is difficult for each employee to completely grasp the execution order of transactions. There is a problem of increasing the burden.

  In particular, at stations, the usage status of automatic processing terminals such as ticket vending machines, payment machines, and cashier registers changes depending on the time of morning and evening rush hour, etc., so withdrawal and payment transactions using cash management devices Based on the train schedule, the transaction schedule is set so that the collection of sales from the automatic processing terminal and the replenishment of change to the automatic processing terminal are performed during a time when there are few customers. If this schedule is not met and the user collects sales or changes for the automatic processing terminal during a busy hour, the user can use the automatic processing terminal while performing these transactions. There is a problem that it cannot be used and the congestion situation is worsened.

  In the technique of Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-18382, banknotes and coins constituting the insufficient sales amount are drawn out from each change storage and stored in each safe at the time of tightening. In addition, if the banknotes and coin safes are collected after the sales are collected, the settlement of the sales at the time of closing will not be executed. There is a problem that a state in which the amount of banknotes and coins stored in the coin safe is different (referred to as miscalculation) occurs.

In this way, it is important to execute transactions using cash management devices as scheduled, but employees such as store staff, station staff, store managers, station managers, managers such as assistants, collection of sales proceeds, etc. It is very difficult for an operator in charge such as a collection / delivery person to grasp all the schedules and execute the transaction according to the schedule, and the burden on each person becomes great.
This is particularly noticeable in large-scale stores and stations.

In addition, changes in business conditions such as employee changes, increase / decrease, changes in installed equipment arrangements, and schedule recombination due to changes in seasons and weather, etc. are mainly the duties of managers. To do is a heavy burden on the administrator.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide means for executing a transaction using a cash management apparatus according to a schedule.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide means for reducing the burden on the administrator who changes the schedule.

Means for storing transaction schedule information comprising a belt, means for receiving the input of the transaction type of the transaction to be executed, means for recognizing the current time when receiving the input of the transaction type, and the recognized current Based on the time, the transaction schedule information is searched, and means for confirming the presence or absence of transaction schedule information with the current time as the execution time zone, and execution of the transaction when the corresponding transaction schedule does not exist at the time of the search And a means for notifying a warning that prompts confirmation of the time zone.

  Further, in a cash management device that executes transaction processing of various transaction types with an automatic processing terminal, the transaction type, an execution time zone in which transaction processing of the transaction type is executed, and a target of the transaction type Means for storing transaction schedule information comprising device identifiers of the automatic transaction terminal and the cash management device, transaction type of executed transaction, execution date and time, device identifier, and execution schedule of the execution date and time Based on the transaction type and the device identifier, means for storing transaction history information consisting of a time difference deviating from the information execution time zone, and all of the transaction type and device identifier within a predetermined period from the transaction history information Means for reading the time difference of the device, means for reading the transaction type and the execution time zone of the device identifier from the transaction schedule information, and Based on metering, characterized in that it comprises means for modifying the execution time period of the transaction schedule information.

In this way, the present invention guides the execution of the transaction according to the schedule, so even if the person in charge of the operation does not completely grasp the execution order of the transaction, The transaction processing can be executed according to the schedule, and the burden on each operator can be reduced.
In particular, at a station, it is possible to prevent transactions outside the transaction schedule from being performed, and to ease the congestion of users who use automatic processing terminals and improve user convenience. The effect that it can be obtained.

  In addition, since the cash management device automatically corrects the transaction schedule information based on the transaction history information for a predetermined period, it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator in charge such as an administrator who registers the transaction schedule information.

When the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information is automatically corrected based on the transaction history information of the predetermined period accumulated by the processing, and there is a predetermined number of transaction history information outside the corrected execution time zone A schedule automatic correction program having a function of notifying a warning is stored in advance, and each functional means as hardware of the cash management apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is determined by the steps of the schedule automatic correction program executed by the main control unit 11. It is formed.

  In addition, the storage unit 12 includes a predetermined period (7 days in the present embodiment) in the range of 5 days or more and 10 days or less on the working day of the embodiment, an execution time zone after the correction, and an execution time of the transaction history information. When there is transaction history information that does not match, the number of warning judgments in the range of 1 or more and less than or equal to the number of half of the predetermined period expressed as an integer as a threshold for the number of mismatches when alerting Are preset and stored.

Since the predetermined period of this embodiment is 7 days, 2 times, which is the number of times less than or equal to 3 times obtained by converting half the value into an integer, is set as the number of times of warning determination.
In the present embodiment, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 automatically executes a transaction schedule correction process periodically or by an instruction input from an administrator or the like as necessary.
Below, the transaction schedule correction process of a present Example is demonstrated according to the step shown by SG using the flowchart shown in FIG.

SG1, the main control unit 11 that has recognized the execution of the transaction schedule correction process reads a predetermined period (7 days in this embodiment) stored in the storage unit 12 and recognizes the current date by the clock unit 17. .
Then, the transaction history information stored within a predetermined period from the current date is extracted from the transaction history information storage area of the storage unit 12 and temporarily stored in the storage unit 12, for each schedule ID, that is, transaction type and device ID. Separately, transaction schedule information correction processing is executed.

SG2, the main control unit 11 searches the transaction history information temporarily stored in the storage unit 12 based on the first schedule ID, reads all the corresponding transaction history information, and counts the number of the transaction history information. At the same time, the time differences (including those recorded as “0”) recorded in the read transaction history information are totaled.
In this case, in Example 1 or Example 2 above, transaction history information in which 000 (skip) is recorded in the transaction code is subsequently executed as an overtime transaction, and the transaction history information exists. Excluded from aggregation to avoid.

SG3, the number of corresponding transaction history information, and the main control unit 11 that tabulates the time difference, when the time difference is “0” (including those that are “0” as a result of the summation) It is determined that correction is unnecessary, and the process proceeds to step SG10.
When the total time difference is other than “0”, that is, smaller than “0” (when the total result is negative) or larger than “0” (when the total result is positive), the execution time zone is corrected. Is determined to be necessary, and the process proceeds to step SG4.

  SG4, the main control unit 11 that has determined that the execution time zone needs to be corrected is an average obtained by dividing the statistic of the time difference, the total time difference (positive or negative time difference) in this embodiment by the number of the transaction history information. The time difference is calculated, the transaction schedule information stored in the schedule information storage area of the storage unit 12 is read based on the schedule ID, and the calculated average time difference is added to the fastest time and the latest time of the execution time zone. Then, the execution time zone is corrected, the corrected execution time zone is overwritten on the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information of the schedule ID, and the transaction schedule information is updated.

SG5, the main control unit 11 that has updated the transaction schedule information, the statement that the transaction schedule information has been updated, the schedule ID of the transaction schedule information in which the execution time zone is corrected, the transaction type, the device ID, the effective time zone after correction, etc. Is displayed on the display unit 13 as a warning display, and a warning that the transaction schedule information has been updated is notified.
In this case, notification by voice of a statement that the transaction schedule information has been updated or notification by a beep sound may be used together by a speaker or the like (not shown).

SG6, the main control unit 11 having finished correcting the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information, reads the corrected execution time zone from the transaction schedule information based on the schedule ID.
SG7, the main control unit 11 that has read the corrected execution time zone, based on the schedule ID, the execution time recorded in the transaction history information temporarily stored in the storage unit 12, the corrected execution time zone, Is searched for transaction history information that does not match, and the number of mismatches is counted.

SG8, the main control unit 11 that counted the number of execution time mismatches reads out the number of warning determinations (two times in this embodiment) stored in the storage unit 12, and if the counted number of mismatches is greater than or equal to the number of warning determinations Then, it is determined that it is necessary to review the transaction schedule information, and the process proceeds to step SG9.
If the counted number of mismatches is less than the warning determination number, it is determined that the review of the transaction schedule information is unnecessary, and the process proceeds to step SG10.

SG9, the main control unit 11 that has determined that the review of the transaction schedule information is necessary, the review warning wording that prompts the review of the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information, after the warning display on the warning screen displayed in step SG5 above The counted number of mismatches is displayed, and a warning is given to prompt the review of the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information.
In this case, a review warning message or a beep sound may be used in combination with a speaker (not shown).

If there is a remaining schedule ID for which the necessity for correction is to be determined, the SG 10 and the main control unit 11 return to step SG2 and continue the above-described schedule correction processing based on the next schedule ID.
In this case, a warning display, a review warning wording, and the like are sequentially displayed on the warning screen displayed in step SG5.

If there is no remaining schedule ID for which the necessity for correction exists, the transaction schedule correction process is terminated.
Thus, the transaction schedule correction process of a present Example is performed.
As described above, in this embodiment, the cash management apparatus includes transaction schedule information including the transaction type and the execution time zone for executing the transaction processing of the transaction type, and the device ID of the device that is the target of the transaction type. When stored, the transaction history information including the transaction type of the executed transaction, the execution date and time, the device ID, and the time difference outside the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information at the execution time is stored, and the schedule ID is stored. Based on the transaction type and device ID represented by, all the time differences of the corresponding transaction history information within a predetermined period are read, and the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information is corrected based on the statistics of the read time differences By doing so, the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information can be automatically updated, and the manager responsible for registering the transaction schedule information It is possible to reduce the burden.

  In addition, the number of mismatches in which the execution time of the transaction history information and the corrected execution time zone are mismatched is counted, and when the number of mismatches is equal to or greater than the predetermined warning determination number, the execution time zone of the transaction schedule information By alerting the user to review the transaction schedule information, the transaction schedule information that does not match the execution time even in the execution time zone after the automatic correction can be reviewed at an early stage. It is possible to reduce the burden of the qualified person by reducing the number of times of inputting the approval code of the qualified person.

In addition, in the present Example, although demonstrated as displaying the warning screen after the automatic correction of a transaction schedule on the display part of a cash management apparatus, the management terminal which is not illustrated is provided and this and the cash management apparatus 1 are connected. Alternatively, a warning screen after automatic correction may be notified to the management terminal and displayed.
In this case, the cash management device or the management terminal that received the notification creates a message corresponding to the warning screen after the automatic correction, and this is used for other terminal devices installed in the station premises, station managers, assistants, etc. You may make it notify with a mail to the portable terminal which carries. In this way, it is not necessary to constantly monitor the cash management device or the management terminal, it is possible to immediately notify that the transaction schedule information has been corrected, and that there is a mismatch number more than the number of warning judgments become.

In addition, each automatic processing terminal is connected to the management terminal via a LAN or the like, and the management terminal collects information indicating the operation status of each automatic processing terminal, and based on the information, transaction schedule information of the cash management apparatus is collected. The transaction schedule information may be created and transmitted from the management terminal to the cash management device and stored in the storage unit.
In each of the above embodiments, the business facility where the cash management apparatus is installed is described as a railway station. However, the business facility is not limited to the above, and is a retail store such as a department store, a supermarket, or a convenience store. May be.
