  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus and a program.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various techniques for grasping the usage status of a device have been proposed for the purpose of determining replacement of the device, for example. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes a technique for analyzing the operation status of a network device from the performance information and operation information of the device acquired from the target network device. Patent Document 2 describes a technique for collecting operating hours within a predetermined period for each construction machine and calculating the operating rate for each model per construction machine based on the collected operating hours. .

  A technique for selecting a device to be operated when a plurality of devices are installed has also been proposed. For example, in Patent Document 3, the state of a plurality of automatic teller machines is monitored, and when the automatic teller machine matches a preset condition, the banknote is moved to a specific automatic teller machine, Describes a technique for turning off the power of automatic teller machines except for automatic teller machines. Patent Document 4 describes a technique for determining an ATM to be operated from device information including a transaction interval time from the end of a transaction to the start of the next transaction received from the ATM, and the current time.

It may be judged.

  The determination unit includes the plurality of cash handling devices based on a value obtained by subtracting a value obtained by subtracting a processing performance evaluation amount of the first cash handling device from the difference value by a calculated processing performance evaluation amount. It may be determined whether or not there is a surplus device.

  There are a plurality of the unit periods, and the determination unit calculates the difference between the calculated relative amount of the maximum processing performance and the calculated evaluation amount of the processing results for each of the plurality of unit periods. When one of the values obtained by subtracting the evaluation amount of the processing performance of the first cash handling apparatus by the calculated evaluation amount of the processing results is smaller than a predetermined value, the plurality of cash handling items It may be determined that there is no redundant device among the devices.

  The determination unit may determine that the first cash handling apparatus is surplus when the divided value is larger than the predetermined value.

May be further determined.

  The processing performance may be a value corresponding to processing times of a plurality of processes performed by the cash handling apparatus.

  The processing performance may be a value corresponding to the processing time per transaction and the processing time per currency.

First, in order to clearly show the features of the present invention, the background that led to the creation of the information processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described.

  Conventionally, for a cash handling apparatus such as a cash machine installed in a store of a financial institution, the number of installed units is often calculated on the basis of the store size, store personnel, and the like.

  However, when calculated in this way, there may be a case where the number of cash handling devices is excessive with respect to the actual processing amount in the store. Therefore, it is desirable that an appropriate number can be calculated with respect to actual processing results.

  By the way, if all the cash handling devices are the same model, the size of the processing results of each cash handling device relative to the processing performance of each cash handling device is based on the total number of cash handling devices. Thus, it is possible to appropriately calculate the size of the total processing performance of the plurality of cash handling devices with respect to the processing performance of the plurality of cash handling devices. And based on the calculated value, it can be determined whether the number of the cash handling apparatuses installed in the store is excessive.

  However, cash handling apparatuses installed in stores may differ in processing performance due to differences in models due to, for example, differences in time of introduction into stores. In such a case, even if the number of cash handling devices is added to the processing performance of each cash handling device relative to the processing performance of each cash handling device, There is a possibility that the size of processing results of a plurality of cash handling apparatuses cannot be calculated appropriately. As a result, it may be inappropriate to determine whether or not the number of cash handling devices installed in the store is excessive.

  Accordingly, the cash distribution plan server 10 according to the present embodiment has been created by focusing on the above circumstances. The cash delivery plan server 10 according to the present embodiment can appropriately evaluate the size of processing results of a plurality of cash handling devices with respect to the processing performance of the plurality of cash handling devices.

<< 3. Detailed Description of Embodiment >>
<3-1. Configuration>
Next, the configuration according to the present embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the cash delivery planning server 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the cash delivery planning server 10 includes a control unit 100, a communication unit 120, and a storage unit 122.

[3-1-1. Control unit 100]
The control unit 100 generally controls the operation of the cash delivery planning server 10 using hardware such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 150 and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 154, which will be described later, built in the cash delivery planning server 10. To control. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 100 includes a relative processing performance calculation unit 102, a maximum processing performance calculation unit 104, a processing amount calculation unit 106, and a determination unit 108.

The relative processing performance calculation unit 102 is stored in, for example, the transaction performance table 124 described later, the processing performance of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 in the store 2 in the store 2 in the unit period, and the device performance table 126 described later. Based on the processing performance of each of the plurality of teller cash processors 24, the relative amount of the processing performance of another teller cash processor 24b based on the processing performance of any teller cash processor 24a Is calculated. Here, the processing performance is a value corresponding to processing times of a plurality of processes performed by the teller cash processor 24. For example, the processing performance is a value corresponding to the processing time per transaction and the processing time per currency.

(3-1-2-1. Transaction record table 124)
The transaction result table 124 is a table in which the processing results of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 installed in the store 2 are stored. Here, with reference to FIG. 3, the structural example of the transaction performance table 124 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 3, in the transaction record table 124, for example, transaction time 1240, device name 1242, and transaction record 1244 are recorded in association with each other. Here, the transaction period 1240 records a corresponding unit period. In the device name 1242, a name such as a device number of each teller cash processor 24 is recorded. In addition, the transaction result 1244 records the number 1246 of transactions and the number of processed currencies 1248 of each teller cash processing machine 24 at the corresponding transaction time.

  For example, the data shown in the first record in FIG. 3 is data for a transaction time of “2/10 12:30 to 13:00”, and the device name of the teller cash processor 24 is “device 1”. This indicates that the number of processed cases is “75” and the number of processed sheets is “5,200”. Further, the data shown in the fourth record in FIG. 3 is data indicating the total value of the processing results by all the teller cash machines 24 in the store 2 in the same transaction period, and the total number of processing cases is “160”. "Total", indicating that the total number of processed sheets is "10,000 sheets".

(3-1-2-2. Device Performance Table 126)
The device performance table 126 is a table in which processing performance specified in advance for each of the plurality of teller cash machines 24 installed in the store 2 is recorded. Here, a configuration example of the device performance table 126 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in the device performance table 126, for example, the device name 1260, the processing time 1262 per case, and the processing time 1264 per sheet are recorded in association with each other. Here, in the processing time 1262 per case, for example, standard time required for one transaction by transaction start processing or end processing provided by the manufacturer of the teller cash processor 24 is recorded. Further, in the processing time 1264 per sheet, for example, the time required for deposit / withdrawal of one currency provided by the manufacturer of the teller cash processing machine 24 is recorded.

  For example, in the data shown in the first record in FIG. 4, the teller cash processor 24 whose device name is “device 1” has a processing time of “10 seconds” per transaction, This indicates that the processing time is “0.1 seconds”. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the processing performances of all the devices (devices 1 to 3) are different from each other.

(3-1-2-3. Calculation example of relative processing performance)
Here, the function of the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. Here, an example in which the relative amount of the processing performance of the other devices (device 2 and device 3) is calculated based on the processing performance of the device 1 will be described.

  As shown in the left column of FIG. 5, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 first causes each teller cash processor 24 to process all transactions in a unit period independently for each teller cash processor 24. Calculate the time required. For example, based on the transaction performance table 124 shown in FIG. 3 and the device performance table 126 shown in FIG. 4, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 allows the device 1 to process the entire transaction in the corresponding unit period alone. Is calculated as “2600 seconds” by “160 processing cases” × “processing time 10 seconds per case” + “10000 sheets processed” × “processing time 0.1 seconds per sheet” To do. Similarly, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 sets the time required for the apparatus 2 to process the entire transaction in the corresponding unit period “3600 seconds”, and the time required for the apparatus 3 to process alone. “5200 seconds” is calculated.

  Next, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 is a ratio of the time required for the device 1 to process all the transactions alone relative to the time required for another device to process all transactions in the unit period alone. Is calculated to calculate the relative amount of the processing performance of the other apparatus based on the processing performance of the apparatus 1. For example, as shown in the right column of FIG. 5, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 calculates the relative amount of the processing performance of the device 2 based on the processing performance of the device 1 by “2600 seconds” ÷ “3600 seconds”. , “72%” is calculated. Further, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 calculates the relative amount of the processing performance of the device 3 based on the processing performance of the device 1 as “50%” by “2600 seconds” ÷ “5200 seconds”.

[3-1-3. Maximum processing performance calculation unit 104]
The maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 calculates the relative amount of the maximum processing performance of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 based on the processing performance of any teller cash processor 24 a in the store 2. For example, the maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 sums up the relative amounts of the processing performance of the teller cash processing machines 24 based on the processing performance of the teller cash processing machine 24a calculated by the relative processing performance calculation unit 102. Thus, the relative amount of the maximum processing performance based on the processing performance of the teller cash processing machine 24a is calculated.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 calculates the relative processing performance of each device (device 1 to device 3) calculated by the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 based on the processing performance of the device 1. By summing the amounts, the relative amount of the maximum processing performance based on the processing performance of the apparatus 1 is calculated as “222%”. That is, the maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 calculates the total processing performance value of the devices 1 to 3 as a value corresponding to the processing performance of “2.22 units” of the device 1.

  According to this calculation example, the total processing performance of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 in the store 2 is evaluated based on the processing performance of a specific teller cash processor 24a, that is, the same processing performance. Can do.

[3-1-4. Processing amount calculation unit 106]
The processing amount calculation unit 106 is an example of a processing performance evaluation amount calculation unit in the present invention. The processing amount calculation unit 106 uses the processing performance of any teller cash processing machine 24a in the store 2 and the length of the unit period to determine the unit period based on the processing performance of the teller cash processing machine 24a. The processing amount of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 is calculated. For example, the processing amount calculation unit 106 determines the length of a period required for the teller cash processor 24a to process the processing results of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 in the unit period with respect to the length of the unit period. Is calculated as the processing amount in the unit period based on the processing performance of the teller cash processor 24a.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the processing amount calculation unit 106 is the time required for the apparatus 1 to process all transactions in the corresponding unit period, calculated by the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 “2600 seconds. ”Is divided by the length of the corresponding unit period“ 1800 seconds ”to calculate the processing amount in the unit period based on the processing performance of the apparatus 1 as“ 144% ”. In other words, the processing amount calculation unit 106 calculates the total value of the processing results of the devices 1 to 3 in the corresponding unit period as the amount that the device 1 “1.44” is processed for the length of the unit period.

  According to this calculation example, it is possible to evaluate the sum of the processing results of the plurality of teller cash processors 24 in the store 2 on the basis of the processing performance of the specific teller cash processor 24a, that is, the same processing performance. it can.

[3-1-5. Determination unit 108]
The determination unit 108 uses the relative amount of the maximum processing performance calculated by the maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 and the processing performance of any teller cash processor 24a calculated by the processing amount calculation unit 106 as a reference. Based on the processing amount in the unit period, it is determined whether or not there is a surplus device among the plurality of teller cash processors 24 in the store 2.

(3-1-5-1. Judgment Example 1)
More specifically, the determination unit 108 determines the relative amount of the maximum processing performance calculated by the maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 and the processing of any teller cash processing machine 24a calculated by the processing amount calculation unit 106. Based on the difference from the processing amount in the unit period based on the performance, it is possible to determine whether or not there is an excess device among the plurality of teller cash processors 24 in the store 2. For example, the determination unit 108 determines the processing amount in the unit period based on the processing performance of the teller cash processing machine 24a and the processing of each teller cash processing machine 24 based on the processing performance of the teller cash processing machine 24a. Based on the value obtained by subtracting the relative amount of performance from the relative amount of maximum processing performance, it is determined whether or not each teller cash processor 24 is redundant.

  Here, the above function will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. As shown in the surplus capacity calculation column 40 of the store in FIG. 6, the determination unit 108 first “222%”, which is the maximum amount (= A) of the maximum processing performance based on the processing performance of the device 1. From this, by subtracting “144%”, which is the processing amount (= B) in the unit period based on the processing performance of the device 1, the surplus capacity (= C) of the plurality of devices in the store 2 is set to “78”. % ".

  Next, as shown in the surplus capacity calculation column 42 when the target apparatus is reduced in FIG. 6, the determination unit 108 calculates the surplus capacity (= 78%) of the plurality of apparatuses in the store 2 for each apparatus. Then, the relative amount of the processing performance of each device based on the processing performance of the device 1 is subtracted, and the subtracted value is the processing amount in the unit period based on the processing performance of the device 1 (= 144%) By dividing by, the surplus capacity (= D) in the store 2 when each device is reduced is calculated.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the determination unit 108 calculates the surplus capacity in the store 2 when the apparatus 1 is reduced as “−15%” by (78% −100%) / 144%. . Similarly, the determination unit 108 calculates the surplus capacity in the store 2 when the apparatus 2 is reduced as “4%” by (78% −72%) / 144%.

  Then, for each device, the determination unit 108 determines that the device is surplus when the calculated value of the surplus capacity in the store 2 when the device is reduced is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. Further, the determination unit 108 determines that the device is not redundant when the calculated value of the surplus capacity in the store 2 when the device is reduced is smaller than a predetermined threshold.

  For example, when the threshold is set to “5%”, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the determination unit 108 determines that the device 3 is surplus, and the devices 1 and 2 are not surplus. Judge that there is no.

(3-1-5-2. Judgment example 2)
Note that the transaction volume in the store 2 usually has a wave depending on the day. For example, during a year, the transaction volume on a specific day such as the bonus payment period or the end of the year is very large compared to other days. In addition, transactions tend to be concentrated in a specific time zone such as 12:00 to 13:00 during the day. For this reason, for example, if the unit period is set to 30 minutes, the determination unit 108 determines whether each teller cash processor 24 in the store 2 is redundant for each unit period with respect to a plurality of unit periods such as the past year. It is also possible to determine whether or not it is possible to reduce the teller cash processor 24 that is determined to be surplus in all unit periods. Further, the determination unit 108 can also determine that the teller cash processor 24 determined not to be surplus in any unit period cannot be reduced.

  According to this determination example, for example, the teller cash processor 24, which should originally be determined not to be surplus in a unit period with a large transaction volume, is determined to be surplus in a unit period with a small transaction volume. It is possible to prevent erroneous determination that the teller cash machine 24 can be reduced.

<3-2. Operation>
The configuration according to this embodiment has been described above. Subsequently, an operation according to the present embodiment will be described.

[3-2-1. Overall behavior]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the overall operation according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, first, the communication unit 120 of the cash delivery planning server 10 has the teller cash processing machine 24 of each teller 24 in the operation time of the store 2 (for example, 8:30 to 17:30) in one year, for example. The transaction results are received from each teller cash processor 24, and the control unit 100 associates the received transaction results, the name of the teller cash processor 24, and the unit period in which the transaction was made with the transaction results table. It records in 124 (S101). In the following, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the length of the operation time of the store 2 for one year is equal to the length of N unit periods.

  Subsequently, the relative processing performance calculation unit 102 uses other teller cash processing machines in the store 2 based on the processing performance of the first teller cash processing machine 24a (hereinafter also referred to as device 1) in the store 2. The relative amount of the processing performance 24b is calculated (S102).

  Subsequently, the maximum processing performance calculation unit 104 sums up the relative amounts of the processing performance of the cash processing machines 24 for each teller in the store 2 based on the processing performance of the device 1 calculated by the relative processing performance calculation unit 102. As a result, the relative amount (= A) of the maximum processing performance based on the processing performance of the apparatus 1 is calculated (S103).

  Subsequently, “1” is set to the counter I indicating the unit period number (S104). And all the surplus flags regarding each teller cash processor 24 in the store 2 are set to “1” (that is, surplus) (S105).

  Thereafter, as long as the value of I is “N” or less and the surplus flag for any teller cash processor 24 in the store 2 is “1”, the determination unit 108 performs the following S107 to S111. The process is repeated (S106).

  First, the determination unit 108 extracts a transaction record in the I-th unit period from the transaction record table 124 (S107).

  Subsequently, the determination unit 108 determines the ratio of the time length required for the device 1 to process the transaction result extracted in S107 with respect to the unit time length based on the processing performance of the device 1. It is calculated as the processing amount (= B) in the first unit period (S108).

  Subsequently, the determination unit 108 subtracts the processing amount (= B) in the I-th unit period calculated in S108 from the relative amount (= A) of the maximum processing performance calculated in S103. The surplus capacity (= C) of the plurality of teller cash machines 24 in the store 2 based on the processing performance of 1 is calculated (S109).

  Subsequently, the determination unit 108 performs “excess determination processing of each device” to be described later (S110).

  Thereafter, the determination unit 108 adds “1” to I (S111).

[3-2-2. Surplus determination processing for each device]
Next, the operation of “the surplus determination process of each device” in S110 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of “the surplus determination process of each device”.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the determination unit 108 first sets “1” to the counter J indicating the number of the teller cash processor 24 (S151).

  Thereafter, as long as the value of J is equal to or less than the number (= M) of teller cash processors 24 in the store 2, the determination unit 108 repeats the processes of S153 to S158 below (S152).

  First, the determination unit 108 checks whether or not the surplus flag related to the Jth teller cash machine 24 is “1” (that is, surplus) (S153). When the surplus flag is not “1” (S153: No), the determination unit 108 performs an operation of S158 described later.

  On the other hand, when the surplus flag is “1” (S153: Yes), the determination unit 108 calculates the surplus capacity (= C) of the plurality of teller cash machines 24 in the store 2 calculated in S109. The relative amount of the processing performance of the J-th teller cash processor 24 calculated in S102 is subtracted. Then, the determination unit 108 divides the subtracted value by the processing amount (= B) in the I-th unit period calculated in S108 to store the J-th teller cash processor 24. 2 is calculated (= D) (S155).

  Thereafter, the determination unit 108 determines whether or not the surplus capacity (= D) in the store 2 when the J-th teller cash machine 24 calculated in S155 is reduced is smaller than a predetermined threshold ( S156). When the surplus capacity (= D) calculated in S156 is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold (S156: No), the determination unit 108 performs an operation of S158 described later.

  On the other hand, when the surplus capacity (= D) calculated in S155 is smaller than the predetermined threshold (S156: Yes), the determination unit 108 sets the surplus flag regarding the J-th teller cash processor 24 to “0”. (S157).

  Thereafter, the determination unit 108 adds “1” to J (S158).
