  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the control unit 21 includes a setting reception processing unit 211, a change machine state acquisition unit 212, and a setting holding unit 213.

  The setting reception processing unit 211 receives contents to be set (including exchange rate setting) for each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 from the operator, and notifies the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 of the setting contents (setting processing part 112). To be reflected and reflected. In this embodiment, the setting reception processing unit 211 is described as notifying the setting contents to each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 (notifying the setting processing unit 112) using a message. A process when the setting reception processing unit 211 receives the exchange rate setting from the operator will be described later.

  The change machine state acquisition unit 212 has a function of monitoring the state of each automatic foreign currency change machine 10 (for example, an error state or the remaining amount of cash stored).

  The setting holding unit 213 stores history information (including at least exchange rate setting information) of each setting set (notified) in each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10. The setting holding unit 213 will be described on the assumption that at least the current (latest) information on the setting contents of each automatic currency exchange machine 10 is held.

  Next, details of processing when the setting reception processing unit 211 receives the setting contents of the exchange rate from the operator (hereinafter referred to as “exchange rate reception processing”) will be described.

  When the exchange rate is input from the operator, the setting reception processing unit 211 checks whether or not the exchange rate includes a value that may be erroneous (hereinafter, referred to as “error input determination process”). Call).

  When it is determined by the erroneous input determination process that there is no possibility that the input exchange rate has an error, the setting reception processing unit 211 notifies the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 of the exchange rate and also the setting holding unit 213. The process of updating the information held in (the process of holding the exchange rate notified this time) is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the erroneous input determination process that the exchange rate input this time may be incorrect, the setting reception processing unit 211 will notify each automatic currency exchange machine 10 of the exchange rate. Then, a process of notifying (outputting) a warning to the operator (hereinafter referred to as “error input warning process”) is performed to prompt confirmation of the presence or absence of an error. Then, the setting reception processing unit 211 only determines that the exchange rate (the exchange rate determined to be erroneous by the erroneous input determination process) when the operator performs an operation to perform the setting at the same exchange rate. ) To each automatic foreign currency changer 10, and processing for updating the information held in the setting holding unit 213 is performed.

  If the exchange rate is changed (corrected) on the operation screen by the operator after the erroneous input warning process, the setting reception processing unit 211 performs again the erroneous input determination process for the changed exchange rate. .

  Next, a specific example of the erroneous input determination process performed by the setting reception processing unit 211 will be described.

  In this embodiment, the setting reception processing unit 211 will be described as being configured to divide the automatic foreign currency exchange machines 10-1 to 10-4 into two groups and receive an exchange rate input for each group. In the setting reception processing unit 211, the unit of the group for setting the contents of the exchange rate and the number of groups are not limited. For example, each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 may be set individually.

  The determination criterion when the setting reception processing unit 211 performs the erroneous input determination processing is not limited. However, in the setting reception processing unit 211 of this embodiment, as an example, the exchange held by the setting holding unit 213 A description will be given assuming that an erroneous input determination process is performed based on rate history information and the like.

  In this embodiment, the setting reception processing unit 211 includes a first group (hereinafter referred to as “group A”) to which the automatic foreign currency exchange machines 10-1 and 10-2 belong, and an automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10-. In the following description, the exchange rate is divided into second groups (hereinafter referred to as “group B”) to which 3, 10-4 belongs.

  In this case, the exchange rate history information (hereinafter referred to as “exchange rate history information”) stored in the setting storage unit 113 is as shown in FIG. In the exchange rate history information shown in FIG. 6, the exchange rate for each group (sales rate and purchase rate for each currency) is registered. Although the exchange rate history information shown in FIG. 6 shows a case where only the exchange rate notified to each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 (for the past one time) is registered, it may be held for a plurality of past times.

  And the setting reception process part 211 receives the input of the exchange rate (sales rate and purchase rate) of each currency for every group, Then, with reference to the exchange rate historical information memorize | stored in the setting reception process part 211 When a difference greater than a predetermined value is generated as compared with the previous set value, it is determined that the exchange rate input this time includes an erroneously input value.

  In this embodiment, as an example, the setting reception processing unit 211, when the difference between the exchange rate of the exchange rate history information and the exchange rate input this time is 10% or more of the exchange rate of the exchange rate history information, The following description assumes that the exchange rate input this time is incorrect. For example, when the exchange rate of the US dollar (USD) is the exchange rate (sales rate or purchase rate) and the exchange rate of the exchange rate history information is 100 yen / USD, the exchange rate input this time is 90 yen / USD or less, or 110 If it is more than Yen / USD, the setting reception processing unit 211 determines that the exchange rate input this time is incorrect. Note that the threshold value (10% in the above example) used by the setting reception processing unit 211 for the erroneous input determination process may be set to an arbitrary value by the operator.

  As described above, in the monitor 20, the control unit 21 (setting reception processing unit 211) and the operation display unit 23 realize the exchange rate input unit, the erroneous input determination unit, the exchange rate notification unit, and the alarm output unit. Yes. Further, in the monitor 20, a history information holding unit is realized by the control unit 21 (setting holding unit 213).

(A-2) Operation | movement of 1st Embodiment Next, operation | movement of the foreign currency exchange system 1 of 1st Embodiment which has the above structures is demonstrated.

  Below, it demonstrates centering around the operation | movement at the time of receiving the input of the exchange rate from the operator with the monitor machine 20. FIG.

  First, it is assumed that the monitor 20 is operated by the operator and the function of the setting reception processing unit 211 is activated (for example, a predetermined program is activated) (S101).

  Then, it is assumed that an operation screen for setting the exchange rate for each group (hereinafter referred to as “exchange rate setting screen”) is called and displayed on the operation display unit 23 (display 233) by the operation of the operator. (S102).

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the exchange rate setting screen displayed by the setting reception processing unit 211 from the display 233.

  In the exchange rate setting screen shown in FIG. 7, a field F101 for receiving input of exchange rates (sales rate and purchase rate) for each group (group A, group B) for each currency (USD, EUR), and field F101. A setting button B101 for receiving the setting at the exchange rate is input.

  Next, the setting reception processing unit 211 performs an erroneous input determination process for each exchange rate input in the field F101 (S104).

  Next, in the erroneous input determination process, the setting reception processing unit 211 checks whether there is an exchange rate that may cause an erroneous input (S105), and if there is an exchange rate that may cause an erroneous input, The operation starts from step S107, which will be described later. If there is no exchange rate with the possibility of erroneous input, the operation starts from step S106, which will be described later.

  When the exchange rate with the possibility of erroneous input cannot be confirmed in step S105 described above, the setting reception processing unit 211 determines the exchange rate input in the field F101 for each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10. A message for instructing the setting is transmitted, and processing for recording each exchange rate set this time in the exchange rate history information of the setting storage unit 113 is performed (S106).

  On the other hand, when there is an exchange rate that may cause an erroneous input in step S105 described above, the setting reception processing unit 211 outputs a warning (alarm) for notifying the operator of the possibility of an erroneous input. (Error input warning process) is executed (S107).

  In this embodiment, the setting reception processing unit 211 will be described as an erroneous input warning process in which an operation screen (hereinafter referred to as an “erroneous input warning screen”) as shown in FIG. In the error input warning screen shown in Fig. 8, a message to notify the operator of the possibility of incorrect input (in Fig. 8, "It has fluctuated by more than 10% from the current setting. Check if the input value is correct." ”), A change button B201 for returning to the exchange rate setting screen and inputting the exchange rate again (button displayed as“ change ”), and a continuation button B202 for continuing to set the exchange rate (“ Button) is displayed.

  Note that the continuation button B202 may be deleted on the erroneous input warning screen so that the operator cannot force the setting.

  When the change button B201 is pressed on the erroneous input warning screen, the setting reception processing unit 211 returns to the above-described step S103 and operates to accept re-input of the exchange rate on the exchange rate setting screen. On the other hand, when the continuation button B202 is pressed on the erroneous input warning screen, the setting reception processing unit 211 proceeds to the above-described step S106, and performs notification of the exchange rate to each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 or the like.

(A-3) Effects of First Embodiment According to the first embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.

  When the monitor machine 20 receives an input of the exchange rate set in the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 on the exchange rate setting screen, an erroneous input determination process is performed. Perform warning screen. Thereby, the operator of the monitor machine 20 can know and correct the input error of the detected exchange rate in advance before setting the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, in the monitor 20, the difference between the past exchange rate (exchange rate history information) held in the setting holding unit 213 and the exchange rate input on the current exchange rate setting screen is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. In this case (for example, 10% or more), it is determined that there is a possibility of erroneous input, and a warning is given to the operator. As a result, in the first embodiment, even if the operator of the monitoring machine 20 erroneously inputs the exchange rate, an error exceeding the threshold value (an error of 10% or more in the above example) is detected, so that the loss is reduced. It can be within the threshold setting range (within 10% in the above example).

(B) Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a second embodiment of a control device and a transaction system capable of suppressing an exchange rate setting error according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, below, the example which applied the control apparatus and transaction system of this invention to the monitor machine and the foreign currency exchange system is demonstrated.

(B-1) Configuration and Operation of Second Embodiment In the second embodiment, the contents of the erroneous input determination process performed by the monitor 20 (setting reception processing unit 211) are different.

  In the first embodiment, the difference between the exchange rate (exchange rate history information) set in the past held in the setting holding unit 213 and the exchange rate input on the current exchange rate setting screen is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. It was determined that there is a possibility of erroneous input (for example, 10% or more). On the other hand, the setting holding unit 213 of the second embodiment determines whether or not there is a possibility of erroneous input by using the magnitude relationship between currencies at the exchange rate input on the current exchange rate setting screen. Specifically, in the setting holding unit 213 of the second embodiment, the magnitude relationship between currencies at the exchange rate set in the past and the magnitude relationship between currencies at the exchange rate input on the current exchange rate setting screen. Processing for determining whether or not there is a possibility of erroneous input is added depending on whether or not they match. For example, in the setting holding unit 213 of the second embodiment, the magnitude relationship between currencies at the exchange rate set in the past does not match the magnitude relationship between currencies at the exchange rate set on the current exchange rate setting screen. In this case, it is determined that there is a possibility of erroneous input.

  For example, for a value that is USD <EUR at the exchange rate set in the past (the exchange rate related to any currency in any group), the value entered on the exchange rate setting screen this time is USD> EUR If it has changed, the setting reception processing unit 211 may determine that there is a possibility of erroneous input for the value. For example, in the exchange rate history information held in the setting holding unit 213, USD = 102.7 and EUR = 134.0 (USD <EUR), but the value input on the current exchange rate setting screen is USD. = 134.0 and EUR = 102.7 (when the magnitude relationship between USD and EUR is reversed), it can be estimated that there is a possibility that the USD rate and the EUR rate are mixed and input. It should be noted that the definition of a predetermined magnitude relationship may be set in advance (for example, set as a constant in advance by an operator or the like) for the magnitude relationship between currencies serving as a reference for erroneous input determination processing.

  As described above, the setting holding unit 213 of the second embodiment performs an erroneous input determination process using a plurality of determination methods, and if it is determined that there is a possibility of an erroneous input by any of the determination methods, an erroneous input is performed. Perform warning processing. In addition, in the setting holding | maintenance part 213 of 2nd Embodiment, you may make it perform an erroneous input determination process based only on the magnitude relationship of the exchange rate between currencies. In other words, the type and number of determination methods used for the erroneous input determination process in the setting holding unit 213 are not limited.

  In addition, in the setting reception processing unit 211 of the second embodiment, when it is determined that there is a possibility of an erroneous input based on the magnitude relationship of the exchange rate between currencies, an erroneous input warning displayed in a pop-up in the above-described step S107. You may make it change the content (message which shows the reason determined to be an incorrect input) of a screen. For example, if the setting reception processing unit 211 of the second embodiment determines that there is a possibility of erroneous input based on the magnitude relationship between currencies at the exchange rate, an operation screen as shown in FIG. You may make it pop-up display as a screen. In the error input warning screen shown in Fig. 9, a message is sent to notify the operator of the possibility of an error input. "The rate of EUR is lower than USD. Check if the input value is correct." Is displayed.

  Also, the setting holding unit 213 of the second embodiment determines that there is a possibility of erroneous input when the same value is set in different currencies at the exchange rate input on the current exchange rate setting screen. You may do it. For example, if the USD sales rate is 102.7 and the EUR sales rate is 102.7 (USD = EUR) in the same group on the exchange rate setting screen, at least one of the values is incorrect. It can be estimated that there is a possibility (possibly entered another currency rate).

  Furthermore, the setting holding unit 213 of the second embodiment may determine whether or not there is a possibility of erroneous input based on the magnitude relationship between the sales rate and purchase rate of the same currency. Usually, the exchange rate applied to the automatic currency exchange machine 10 includes the profit of the provider of the exchange transaction, and the purchase rate is lower than the sales rate, so the purchase rate is higher than the sales rate. In such a case, there is a possibility that the input is incorrect (the sales rate and the purchase rate are mistaken).

(B-2) Effects of the Second Embodiment According to the second embodiment, the following effects can be achieved as compared with the first embodiment.

  In the monitoring machine 20 of the second embodiment, it is possible to detect an erroneous input with higher accuracy than in the first embodiment by adding a determination method of an erroneous input determination process.

(C) Other Embodiments The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may include modified embodiments as exemplified below.

  (C-1) As shown in FIG. 7, the monitor machine 20 of each of the above embodiments has a configuration in which a sales rate and a purchase rate are set for each currency on the exchange rate setting screen. As shown, the middle price (standard exchange rate), the price range of the sales rate relative to the middle price (hereinafter referred to as “sales middle price range”), the price range of the purchase rate relative to the middle price (hereinafter referred to as “purchase middle price range”) May be accepted.

  In the exchange rate setting screen shown in FIG. 10, for each group (group A), an input of a middle price, a sales middle price range, and a purchased middle price range is accepted for each currency, and from these values, the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 receives the input. The sales rate and purchase rate to be set are displayed. In FIG. 10, a field 201 for displaying the exchange rate currently set in the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 of the group, and a field F202 for receiving the input of a middle price, a sales middle price range, and a purchased middle price range for each currency, A field F203 for displaying the sale price and purchase rate (exchange rate after change) for each currency determined based on the middle price, the sales middle price range, and the purchase middle price range input in the field F202. Yes.

  In the exchange rate setting screen shown in FIG. 10, for example, for US dollars (USD), the setting value (setting value in field F202) is the mid-value = 100.00, the sales mid-value range = 2.70, the purchase mid-value range = 2. Therefore, in the exchange rate after the change (field F203), the sales rate is 102.70 USD / yen (middle price + sale middle price range = 100.00 + 2.70 = 102.70), and the purchase rate is 97.70. 30 (median price-purchased median price range = 100.00-2.70 = 97.30). As shown in FIG. 10, the setting holding unit 213 receives the exchange rate using the middle price, and displays the sales rate and purchase rate for each currency determined based on the middle price (displayed in the field F203). Content), an erroneous input determination process and setting to the automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 are performed.

  (C-2) In the first embodiment, the setting reception processing unit 211 of the monitoring machine 20 immediately responds to an operator's operation (for example, pressing the setting button B201 on the exchange rate setting screen shown in FIG. 7). Although the exchange rate of each automatic currency exchange machine 10 is changed (notified), the exchange rate of each automatic currency exchange machine 10 may be changed according to a schedule (time corresponding to the setting) according to the operation of the operator. Good. In this case, the setting reception processing unit 211 of the monitor machine 20 may receive an instruction for changing the exchange rate for a plurality of times in advance and reflect the change rate on each automatic foreign currency exchange machine 10 at a scheduled time. . However, in this case, it is desirable that the setting reception processing unit 211 of the monitor 20 determines the erroneous input determination process based on the exchange rate reflected immediately before. For example, when the setting reception processing unit 211 of the monitor 20 is scheduled to change the exchange rate for the future two times, when the change of the second exchange rate is accepted, the change rate to be changed the first time It is desirable to perform an erroneous input determination process based on the comparison result.

  (C-3) In each of the above embodiments, the automatic currency exchange machine 10 and the monitor machine 20 are described as separate devices.
