Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus and a cash processing method.

  In recent years, cash processing apparatuses have been introduced for dispensing change reserves such as cash registers and depositing sales proceeds in retail and supermarket distribution and commercial facilities.

  For example, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a change payment transaction in which a cash change for a cash register is withdrawn from a withdrawal hopper to a coin dispensing box based on the number of money types specified by the operator, or a sales amount input by the operator. A coin processing device having a transaction function such as sales and deposits for storing the money in a withdrawal hopper is disclosed. Moreover, the structure which performs the return process which returns a coin to a coin return box is also described when the command command is transmitted so that the coin once deposited may be returned.

  Patent Document 2 below discloses a coin processing that can exchange a large-capacity storage box that stores coins in a specific plurality of denominations and a small-capacity storage box that collectively stores coins of these denominations. An apparatus is disclosed. Respond flexibly to changes in the ratio of each type of coin to be processed by appropriately using coins of specific multiple denominations to collect by denomination or collectively as needed. be able to.

  By the way, it is preferable that boxes with different capacities can be exchanged for a coin dispensing box for dispensing coins and a coin return box for returning coins.

  For example, when an administrator or the like wants to remove all the coins in the apparatus, it is more convenient to use a large-capacity coin dispensing box because each of the denominations can be withdrawn with a small number of receipts. On the other hand, it is more convenient to use a small-capacity coin box because it is a small amount and it is not necessary to divide it by denomination if the person in charge of external affairs wants to withdraw for change.

  In addition, if the administrator performs mixed counting of mixed coins, if the administrator performs mixed counting of mixed coins, a large amount of counting is required and the purpose is to separate each denomination, so a large return box It is more convenient to use On the other hand, it is more convenient to use a small-capacity return box when the person in charge of public relations counts change and small amount of sales coins because it is not necessary to divide each denomination.

  Therefore, as for the coin dispensing box and the coin return box, a cash processing apparatus capable of exchanging a large capacity box and a small capacity box has been introduced in distribution and commercial facilities.

JP-A-2005-208946 JP 2003-30710 A

  As for the coin dispensing box, for example, when 500 large-capacity coin dispensing boxes and 100 small-capacity coin dispensing boxes are inserted, if 500 coins are dispensed, the large-capacity coin dispensing box can be received only once. The small-capacity coin dispensing box needs to be received five times. Therefore, when the manager tries to extract all coins in a state where the small-capacity coin dispensing box is set, the number of times of receipt increases. On the other hand, it is difficult to use because a large-capacity coin dispensing box is set when a foreign affairs officer wants to withdraw changes.

  In addition, since the coins in the temporary holding unit are collectively dropped into the return box, there is a restriction that the number of counted one time depends on the capacity of the return box. Therefore, when the administrator wants to sort out a large amount of coins, it cannot be sorted by denomination if a small-capacity dispensing box is set. In addition, even when it is desired to deposit money, the number of coins that can be counted at one time is small, so the number of counting and storage in the dispensing hopper increases, which takes time. On the other hand, when the charge of external affairs counts a small amount, if a large-capacity return box is set, it is difficult to take out coins because it is partitioned for each denomination.

  Therefore, it is necessary to confirm whether a coin dispensing box or coin return box having a capacity suitable for the application is set before the transaction.

  In the above, the transaction selection function with which the cash processing apparatus 10 is provided was demonstrated, referring FIG.4 and FIG.5. Below, the various transaction functions with which the cash processing apparatus 10 is provided are demonstrated, referring FIGS. 6-9.

(Changing withdrawal transaction)
The change withdrawal transaction is a transaction for withdrawing a change reserve from the cassette and the withdrawal hopper 112.

  When the change withdrawal button 171 is selected from the transaction selection menu screen, the control unit 118 displays “withdrawal of registered denomination and number pattern” or “withdrawal designating an arbitrary denomination and number”. The sub menu is displayed on the operation display unit 117. The operator selects a registered submenu of “withdrawal of denomination and number pattern” or a submenu of “withdrawal designating an arbitrary denomination and number”.

  When selecting the sub-menu “withdrawn registered denomination and number pattern”, the operator selects an arbitrary withdrawal pattern from a plurality of patterns of denomination and number registered in advance.

  On the other hand, when the submenu of “withdrawal designating an arbitrary denomination and number” is selected, the operator designates the number of withdrawals of various banknotes and coins.

  Further, instead of the operator specifying the denomination and the number of sheets, the operator may specify an arbitrary withdrawal amount. In this case, the control unit 118 determines the type and number of banknotes and coins to be dispensed based on the designated withdrawal amount and the number of banknotes and coins stored in each cassette and withdrawal hopper. .

  In addition, when there are a plurality of withdrawal patterns of banknotes and coins corresponding to the designated withdrawal amount, the control unit 118 follows the withdrawal pattern that minimizes the number of withdrawals of banknotes and coins. A withdrawal may be performed, or a plurality of withdrawal patterns corresponding to a designated withdrawal amount may be displayed on the operation display unit 117 so that the operator can select an arbitrary withdrawal pattern.

  Here, in the case where the small-capacity coin dispensing box 113B is set in the cash processing apparatus 10 even though the number of coins to be dispensed is larger than the number of coins that can be accommodated in the small-capacity coin dispensing box 113B, the number of withdrawals Will increase. Further, when the large-capacity coin dispensing box 113A is set in the cash processing apparatus 10 even though the number of coins dispensed is smaller than the number of coins that can be accommodated in the small-capacity coin dispensing box 113B, It is difficult to use because it cannot be removed.

  Therefore, as described above, when it is determined that the type of the set coin dispensing box 113 does not match the designated number of withdrawals at the start of the dispensing operation, the control unit 118 issues the withdrawal transaction. After the operator confirms the money amount, the exchange guidance screen of the coin dispensing box 113 is displayed on the operation display unit 117 before the bill and coin dispensing operation.

  FIG. 6 shows the case where the small-capacity coin dispensing box 113B is set in the cash processing apparatus 10 even though the number of coins to be dispensed is larger than the number of coins that can be accommodated in the small-capacity coin dispensing box 113B. It is explanatory drawing which showed an example of the screen for guide | inducing the replacement | exchange from the capacity coin dispensing box 113B to the large capacity coin dispensing box 113A.

It is explanatory drawing which showed an example of the screen for guide | inducing replacement | exchange from the capacity | capacitance coin dispensing box 113A to the small capacity coin dispensing box 113B.

  As shown in the circle B of FIG. 6 and the circle C of FIG. 7, the position of the coin dispensing box 113 in the cash processing apparatus 10 is indicated by a circle (in the example of FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the position is indicated by “circle”. The operator can easily confirm the position of the coin dispensing box 113 to be exchanged by displaying the position with a display method other than "(for example, ellipse, rectangle, polygon, etc.)." Can be exchanged.

  Instead of showing the position of the coin dispensing box 113 on the screen as described above, a lamp such as an LED is provided around the insertion slot of the coin dispensing box 113, and the coin dispensing box 113 needs to be replaced. In such a case, it may be turned on or blinking, or warned with a buzzer or voice.

  In addition, the operator can input whether to follow the guidance of the coin dispensing box 113 on the screen or the like in consideration of the case where the number of coins to be dispensed is small but the large-capacity coin dispensing box 113A wants to withdraw by type of money. You may do it.

  After confirming that the exchange has been performed when the coin dispensing box 113 needs to be exchanged, the control unit 118 dispenses the number of change banknotes and coins designated by the operator from the cassette and the withdrawal hopper 112. To control.

  As described above, by guiding the exchange of the withdrawal box according to the number of withdrawals, even if the transaction starts without noticing on the standby screen, the exchange is guided before the withdrawal operation, so the number of receipts is minimized. Thus, the operability can be improved.

(Sales receipt transaction)
The sales deposit transaction is a transaction in which change reserves are stored in the cassette and withdrawal hopper 112. When the sales deposit button 172 is selected from the transaction selection menu screen, the control unit 118 displays a bill and coin deposit guidance screen on the operation display unit 117. When the banknotes and coins from the cash register (that is, the sum of the sales proceeds and change) are set in the banknote insertion slot 101 and the coin insertion slot 109, the banknote discrimination unit 103 and the coin discrimination unit 110 are connected to the inserted banknotes and coins. Differentiate between authenticity, denomination, and damage.

  The control unit 118 performs control for accumulating the banknotes and coins identified as normal by the banknote discrimination unit 103 and the coin discrimination unit 110 in the banknote temporary storage unit 102 and the coin temporary storage unit 111. On the other hand, the control unit 118 transports the banknotes and coins that have been identified as abnormal (rejected) by the banknote discrimination unit 103 and the coin discrimination unit 110 to the banknote insertion slot 101 and the rejection unit 108 in order to return them to the operator. To control.

  The control unit 118 displays on the operation display unit 117 the amounts of banknotes and coins determined to be normal. When the control unit 118 recognizes that the operator has confirmed the amount of money by operating the amount confirmation screen of the operation display unit 117 by the operator, etc., the bill and coins of the bill temporary storage unit 102 and the coin temporary storage unit 111 are cassettes and withdrawals. Control for storing in the hopper 112 is performed. When sales (total deposit-total withdrawal) have occurred at the time of storage, the control unit 118 stores only the banknotes in the sales collection cassette 107 within the range of sales, giving priority to high-price tickets.

  Further, the sales / payment transaction function performed by the cash processing apparatus 10 includes a function that enables transaction return after counting.

(Counting transactions)
The counting transaction is a transaction in which cash is returned after counting the inserted cash.

  When the count transaction button 173 is selected from the transaction selection menu screen, the control unit 118 displays a bill and coin insertion guidance screen on the operation display unit 117. When a bill and a coin are set from the bill insertion slot 101 and the coin insertion slot 109, the control unit 118 displays a counting screen on the operation display unit 117. On the other hand, the banknote discriminating unit 103 and the coin discriminating unit 110 discriminate the authenticity, denomination, correctness, etc. of the inserted banknotes and coins.

  The control unit 118 performs control for accumulating the banknotes and coins identified as normal by the banknote discrimination unit 103 and the coin discrimination unit 110 in the banknote temporary storage unit 102 and the coin temporary storage unit 111. On the other hand, the control unit 118 transports the banknotes and coins that have been identified as abnormal (rejected) by the banknote discrimination unit 103 and the coin discrimination unit 110 to the banknote insertion slot 101 and the rejection unit 108 in order to return them to the operator. To control.

  The control unit 118 displays on the operation display unit 117 the amounts of banknotes and coins determined to be normal. When the controller 118 recognizes that the operator has confirmed the amount of money by operating the amount confirmation screen of the operation display unit 117 or the like by the operator, the bill and coins of the bill temporary storage unit 102 and the coin temporary storage unit 111 are inserted into the bill insertion slot 101. And control for returning from the coin return box 114 is performed.

  When the counting is completed, the control unit 118 performs control for displaying on the operation display unit 117 a return extraction guidance screen for guiding extraction of the coin return box 114.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a return sampling guidance screen. The position of the coin return box 114 in the cash processing apparatus 10 is indicated by a circle (“Yen” in the example of FIG. 8), as shown by a circle D in FIG. 8. The position may be indicated by a rectangle, a polygon, etc.). By indicating the position, the operator can easily confirm the position of the coin return box 114.

  Here, if the number of coins temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 111 is larger than the number of coins that can be stored in the set coin return box 114, coins overflow from the coin return box 114 when the coins are returned. In order to prevent coins from overflowing from the coin return box 114, in the cash processing apparatus 10, the number of coins temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 111 is set to be smaller than the number of coins that can be stored in the set coin return box 114.

  Therefore, if the small-capacity coin return box 114B is set in the cash processing apparatus 10 even though the number of inserted coins is larger than the number that can be accommodated in the small-capacity coin return box 114B, Coins that cannot be transported remain in the coin slot 109.

  That is, when coins remain in the coin insertion slot 109 at the end of counting and the small-capacity coin return box 114B is set in the cash processing apparatus 10, the coin return box 114 may not be suitable for the application.

  Therefore, when the coins remain in the coin insertion slot 109 at the end of counting by a sensor or the like disposed in the coin insertion slot 109, the control unit 118 displays the type of the coin return box 114 on the normal return receipt guidance screen. Display a guidance message to guide confirmation.

  When the type of the coin return box 114 is not suitable for the application, the operator exchanges the small-capacity coin return box 114B with the large-capacity coin return box 114A.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing an example of a return sampling guidance screen including a guidance message for confirming the type of the coin return box 114.

  As shown in FIG. 9, by guiding the exchange of the coin return box 114 in accordance with the number of coins inserted at the time of the counting transaction, the optimum number of times of receiving can be obtained and the operability can be improved.

  9, the position of the coin return box 114 in the cash processing apparatus 10 is indicated by a circle (in the example of FIG. 9, “Yen” indicates the position, but a display method other than “Yen” (for example, , An ellipse, a rectangle, a polygon, etc.) may indicate the position.) By indicating the position, the operator can easily confirm the position of the coin return box 114.

  The guidance message for guiding the confirmation of the type of the coin return box 114 in the counting transaction has been described above, but the confirmation of the type of the coin return box 114 after the counting is also performed in the sales receipt transaction that enables the transaction return after the counting. Message can be displayed.

  Here, in the sales-and-payment transaction that enables transaction return after counting, in consideration of the case where transaction return is performed, the number of coins temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 111 is less than the number of coins that can be stored in the coin return box 114. . Therefore, in a normal sales / payment transaction in which transaction returns are not performed after counting, if the number of coin return boxes 114 that can be stored is smaller than the number of input coins, the number of storages in the withdrawal hopper will increase.

  Therefore, by displaying a message that guides the confirmation of the type of the coin return box 114 after counting according to the number of coins inserted at the time of sales / payment transaction, the number of coins stored in the withdrawal hopper 112 is reduced. Time can be shortened.
