Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a depositing machine to be used in many tenant stores which is capable of preventing mixing of payments even though an input port does not have shutter function.SOLUTION: A depositing machine 1 with a counting unit 20 for counting currencies and a safe unit 30 for storing the currencies has a payment control unit 55 which checks whether a registration number of a non-contact IC card read by a card reader unit 11 at starting payment operation matches a registration number re-read by the card reader unit 11 prior to counting start operation/safe storage operation/currency removal operation in the apparatus due to a jam or the like/counting cancel operation/settlement operation in order to authenticate an identity of a person operating the apparatus in a payment operation, and determines that only a person whose IC card registration number matches a registration number re-read can continue the operation.

Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for preventing deposits from being mixed in a deposit machine used in a multi-tenant store.

  In the depositing operation of the depositing machine, a magnetic card or a non-contact IC card is read at the start of operation, and the sales information stored in the safe is managed using the read register number as an identification number. Further, the depositing machine does not have a shutter mechanism at the slot.

  In the deposit operation, when the person leaves the deposit machine for some reason during the operation, the deposit machine is in an empty state. There was a problem that it was added to the sales proceeds of the cashier number.

  In order to prevent contamination during the deposit operation, a shutter mechanism can be attached to the slot to close the shutter during operation. However, the deposit machine can accept large amounts of deposits by permitting joint deposit during operation. Therefore, it is not possible to attach a shutter mechanism for the inlet.

  In order to confirm that the person is operating the deposit operation, the cashier number read by the non-contact IC card at the start of the deposit operation and the count start operation / safety storage operation / jam etc. Before the money removal operation / counting cancellation operation / confirmation operation, the registration number read by reading the non-contact IC card is checked again so that only the person using the card with the matching registration number can continue the operation.

  By checking the registration number before each operation, only the contactless IC card of the corresponding registration number can be operated, so that it is possible to prevent the sales proceeds from being mixed with another register person. In addition, an administrator card that can only be handled by the administrator as a remedy that cannot be deposited when there is no person holding the contactless IC card of the corresponding register number or when the contactless IC card of the corresponding register number is lost By enabling the return operation by enabling the payment operation of people at other stores.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the sales proceeds from being mixed without providing the shutter mechanism of the depositing port of the depositing machine.

  In addition, by using a non-contact IC card and keeping the card reader on, it is possible to prevent sales from being mixed by extending the operation so far.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described based on the following embodiments with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a depositing machine 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The depositing machine 1 includes an input / output unit 10, a counting unit 20, a safe unit 30, a return unit 40, and a control unit 50. The counting unit 20 has a temporary storage unit that temporarily stores the counted money. In the deposit operation, the card reader unit 11 reads a non-contact IC card, and if it is an operable card, the counting unit 20 counts money when the button unit 12 detects that the “start” button has been pressed. Then, the money stored in the temporary storage unit and stored in the temporary storage unit is stored in the safe unit 30 when it is detected that the “confirm” button is pressed by the button unit 12.

  FIG. 2 shows a processing flow for storing the counted money in the safe.

  The depositing machine 1 stores the register number read by the non-contact IC card in the card reader unit 11 in the non-volatile memory of the storage unit 56 (S11), and the “start” button for starting the counting of money is pressed. When the button unit 12 detects (S12), the card reader unit 11 reads again with a non-contact IC card (S13), and compares the read registration number with the registration number stored in the storage unit 56 at the start. (S14) If they match, the counting unit 20 counts money (S15).

  If they do not match, it is checked whether the read card is an administrator card (S16). If the card is not an administrator card, it is not possible to enter the counting of money (S1X). If it is an administrator card, the reception of the administrator card is displayed on the display unit 13 (S17), and the deposit operation is terminated when the button unit 12 detects that the “start” button has been pressed (S18). Yes (S1A), when the button unit 12 detects that the "Cancel" button has been pressed (S19), the process again returns to the card reading wait (S1Y).

  After the counting is completed, when the button unit 12 detects that the “confirm” button for confirming the deposit amount has been pressed (S21), the card reader unit 11 reads it again with a non-contact IC card (S22). The cash register number and the cash register number stored in the storage unit 56 at the start are compared (S23), and if they match, money can be stored in the safe unit 30 (S24).

  If they do not match, it is checked whether the read card is an administrator card (S26). If it is not an administrator card, money cannot be stored in the safe (S2X). If it is an administrator card, the reception of the administrator card is displayed on the display unit 13 (S27), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "start" button has been pressed (S28), the money in the counting unit 20 is displayed. Can be returned to the return unit 40 (S2A), and when the button unit 12 detects that the “cancel” button has been pressed (S29), the process returns to the card reading wait state (S2Y).

  FIG. 3 shows a processing flow for canceling the deposit of the counted money.

After the money counting operation (S11) to (S15), when the button unit 12 detects that the "cancel" button for canceling the deposit is pressed (S31), the card reader unit 11 again does not contact the IC card. (S32), the read register number is compared with the register number stored in the storage unit 56 at the start (S33), and if they match, the money in the counting unit 20 can be returned to the return unit 40. Yes (S34).
If they do not match, it is checked whether the read card is an administrator card (S36). If it is not an administrator card, money cannot be returned (S3X). If it is an administrator card, the reception of the administrator card is displayed on the display unit 13 (S37), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "start" button has been pressed (S38), the money in the counting unit 20 is displayed. Can be returned to the return unit 40 (S34), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "Cancel" button has been pressed (S39), the process returns to the card reading wait (S3Y).

  FIG. 4 shows a processing flow for removing money in the apparatus when a jam occurs.

  When a jam is detected during the counting of money by counting the money (S11) to (S15), the card reader 11 again reads with a non-contact IC card before the counting unit 20 is opened (S42). The read cash register number is compared with the cash register number stored in the storage unit 56 at the start (S43). If they match, the counting unit 20 can be opened to remove the currency that is the cause of the jam (S44). .

If they do not match, it is checked whether the read card is an administrator card (S46), and if it is not an administrator card, the counting unit 20 is not opened and jamming cannot be removed (S4X). If it is an administrator card, the reception of the administrator card is displayed on the display unit 13 (S47), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "Start" button has been pressed (S48), the counting unit 20 is opened. The currency that is the cause of the jam can be removed (S44), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "Cancel" button has been pressed (S49), the process returns to the card reading wait (S4Y).
When the button unit 12 detects that the "reset" button for recovering the device after the currency is removed is pressed (S51), the device recovery operation is performed (S52). After the device recovery operation is completed, the card reader unit 11 is again connected. Read with a non-contact IC card (S53), compares the read registration number with the registration number stored in the storage unit 56 at the start (S54), and if they match, the money remaining in the counting unit 20 Can be returned to the return unit 40 (S55).

  If they do not match, it is checked whether the read card is an administrator card (S56). If it is not an administrator card, money cannot be stored in the safe (S5X). If it is an administrator card, the reception of the administrator card is displayed on the display unit 13 (S57), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "start" button has been pressed (S58), it remains in the counting unit 20 The returned money can be returned to the return unit 40 (S55), and when the button unit 12 detects that the "cancel" button has been pressed (S59), the process returns to the card reading wait (S5Y).
