  Further, in this embodiment, the support portion 4 for supporting the operation display portions 86 and 88 and the operation key 89 can be opened to the front side of the housing 1a only when the upper cover 2 is opened upward. it can. That is, when the upper cover 2 is closed, the upper end portion of the support portion 4 is engaged with the upper cover 2 by an engagement member (not shown), so that the support portion 4 cannot be opened to the front side of the housing 1a. .

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the card ID of the ID card is magnetically recorded on the magnetic card 92 such as an ID card carried by the operator, and when the magnetic card 92 is passed through the magnetic card reader 90, The card ID magnetically recorded on the magnetic card 92a is read by the magnetic card reader 90.

  Further, the storage unit 94 stores card ID data 94a, delivered amount data 94b, balance data 94c, and storage upper limit number data 94d. The card ID data 94a is data in which the card ID, the cash register ID, the authority level, and the collection availability are associated with each other, and the delivered amount data 94b is data in which the registered ID is associated with the delivered amount. The cash amount data 94 c is data including the number of denominations of money stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70, and the storage upper limit number data 94 d is stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70. It is data including the upper limit number of coins and coins to be played.

  When the card ID is read, the main body control unit 80 refers to the card ID data 94a and specifies the register ID corresponding to the card ID, the authority level, and the collection possibility. When the authority level corresponding to the card ID is “1 (register person in charge)”, the delivered amount data 94b is referred to obtain the delivered amount corresponding to the registered ID, and the delivered money. The number of coins is acquired with reference to the data 94c, and the upper limit number of coins and bills stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70 is acquired with reference to the money upper limit number data 94d.

  Thereafter, if “delivery processing” is selected by the operator, the main body control unit 80 controls display on the operation display unit 88 of a delivery processing screen including the delivered amount and the number of money that can be delivered. Note that the number of coins that can be delivered is the difference between the upper limit number of coins and banknotes stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the banknote storage cassette 70 and the number of coins and banknotes that have been delivered.

  However, when the authority level corresponding to the card ID is “0 (no authority)”, the delivery processing screen is not displayed on the operation display unit 88. This is because the operator does not have the authority to execute the delivery process. Further, when the authority level corresponding to this card ID is “2 (administrator)”, the delivery amount corresponding to all the register IDs is acquired, and the delivery including these delivery amount and the total amount is delivered. The processing screen is displayed on the operation display unit 88. This is because the manager often needs to grasp the status of all cash registers.

  Further, if “security collection” is selected by the operator, the main body control unit 80 specifies whether or not the collection corresponding to the card ID is possible. If the collection possibility is “0”, the main body control unit 80 determines that the collection is impossible. Reject the collection process. On the other hand, when the collection possibility is “1”, it is determined that the collection is possible and the collection is permitted.

  In this way, when the operator passes the magnetic card 92 through the magnetic card reader 90, the authority of the operator can be authenticated, and only the operator having the predetermined authority can deliver money at the sales deposit machine 1. Processing (payment processing), counting processing, and collection processing can be performed. Further, a delivery process screen including information corresponding to the authority level of the operator can be displayed on the operation display unit 88.

  Further, a communication interface unit 98 is communicably connected to the main body control unit 80, and the main body control unit 80 is connected to an external device such as a host terminal provided outside the sales deposit machine 1 by the communication interface unit 98. Signals can be sent to and received from the device.

<Example of data>
Next, an example of the card ID data 94a, the delivered amount data 94b, the stock amount data 94c, and the storage upper limit number data 94d shown in FIG. 6 will be described.

  First, an example of the card ID data 94a shown in FIG. 6 will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the card ID data 94a shown in FIG. The card ID data 94a shown in the figure is data in which the card ID, the cash register ID, the authority level, and the collection possibility are associated. Here, the card ID “A123” is associated with the cash register ID “R001”, the authority level “1 (register person in charge)”, and the collection possibility “0 (no collection authority)”, and the card ID “A124” is registered with the cash register “A124”. The card ID “A125” is associated with the ID “R001”, the authority level “2 (administrator)”, the collection permission / inhibition “0 (no collection authority)”, the cash register ID “R002”, and the authority level “1 (cash register charge). And the card ID “A126”, the register ID “R002”, the authority level “1 (register person in charge)”, and the collection permission / inhibition “0 (collection authority)”. “None)” is shown. In addition, the card IDs “B001” and “B002” indicate a situation associated with the collection availability “1 (with collection authority)”.

  Therefore, by referring to the card ID data 94a, it is possible to identify the cash register ID corresponding to the ID card, and whether it is the cashier's ID card, the manager's ID card, It can be determined whether the person in charge is an ID card.

  Next, an example of the delivered amount data 94b shown in FIG. 6 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the delivered amount data 94b shown in FIG. The delivered amount data 94b shown in the figure is data in which the cash register ID is associated with the delivered amount. Here, the transfer amount “2,151,650 yen” is associated with the cash register ID “R001”, and the transfer amount “1,950,500 yen” is associated with the cash register ID “R002”. This shows a situation in which the delivered amount “1,800,520 yen” is associated with “R003” and the delivered amount “2,305,140 yen” is associated with the cash register ID “R010”.

  Therefore, by referring to the delivered amount data 94b, the delivered amount corresponding to the cash register ID can be specified, and on the condition that the card ID is acquired, the delivery processing screen including the delivered amount is displayed on the operation display unit 88. Can be displayed.

  Next, an example of the stock data 94c and the storage upper limit number data 94d shown in FIG. 6 will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the stock amount data 94c shown in FIG. 6, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the storage upper limit number data 94d shown in FIG.

  The balance data 94c shown in FIG. 9 is data including the number of coins stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70 for each denomination. Here, “110” 500 yen coins, “410” 100 yen coins, “120” 50 yen coins, and “457” 10 yen coins are stored in the coin storage cassette 40. The figure shows a situation in which “80” yen is stored, “120” 1 yen is stored, and “1277” coins are stored in the coin cassette 40 in total. In addition, the banknote storage cassette 70 stores "210 sheets" of 10,000 yen tickets, "105 sheets" of 5000 yen tickets, and "494 sheets" of 1000 yen tickets, for a total of "809 sheets". The state where the banknote was accommodated in the banknote storage cassette 70 is shown.

  10 is data including the upper limit number of coins and bills stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70. Here, the upper limit number of coins that can be stored in the coin storage cassette 40 is “5000”, and the upper limit number of banknotes that can be stored in the banknote storage cassette 70 is “3000”.

  Therefore, the main body control unit 80 calculates the number of coins and banknotes that can be newly stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the banknote storage cassette 70 by referring to the stock amount data 94c and the storage upper limit number data 94d. can do. In the example shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the number of coins that can be newly stored in the coin storage cassette 40 is “3723 sheets (= 5000−1277 sheets)”, and the number of banknotes that can be newly stored in the banknote storage cassette 70. Becomes “2191 sheets (= 3000−809 sheets)”. Therefore, the number of coins and bills that can be newly stored can be displayed on the operation display units 86 and 88 as the remaining number. As shown in FIG. 1, the remaining number of sheets in the upper limit storage number can be displayed in a graph on the operation display units 86 and 88.

<Operation and display screen of sales deposit machine>
Next, an example of the operation and display screen of the sales deposit machine 1 having the above-described configuration will be described. Note that the operation of the sales depositing machine 1 described below is performed by the main body control unit 80 controlling each component of the sales depositing machine 1 or by the main body control unit 80, the coin control unit 81 or the banknote control unit 82. It is performed by controlling each component part of the coin depositing apparatus 10 and the banknote depositing apparatus 50 via.

  First, an operation when a delivery process (payment process) of coins or banknotes is performed in the sales deposit machine 1 will be described. FIGS. 11-14 is a figure which shows an example of the screen displayed on the operation display parts 86 and 88 when the deposit processing of a coin and a banknote is performed in the sales deposit machine 1 shown in FIG.

  When the sales deposit machine 1 is in the standby state, the operation display units 86 and 88 display the standby screen shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the screen displayed on the left side of the drawing shows the display content of the operation display unit 86, and the screen displayed on the right side shows the display screen of the operation display unit 88.

  Here, the display content on the left side displayed on the operation display unit 86 is alternately switched every predetermined time with the display screen shown in FIG. Further, the right display screen displayed on the operation display unit 88 is switched to the display screen shown in FIG. 11C when “next” is operated. For this reason, the operator can select “delivery (payment)”, “security collection”, “count”, “batch”, “tighten”, “user setting”, “payment history”, “amount specification”. It becomes possible. Note that “delivery” is an item that is mainly operated when the operator deposits sales, and is also operated when confirming the delivered amount of the cash register without depositing the sales. “Security collection” is operated when a person in charge such as a security company collects the coin storage cassette 40 and the banknote storage cassette 70. Further, “tightening” is operated when closing processing is performed, for example, when a store is closed. Here, “counting”, “batch”, “user setting”, “payment history”, and “money designation” are not characteristic features of the present invention, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  When the sales deposit machine 1 is in a standby state, the operator passes his / her ID card (magnetic card) 92 through the magnetic card reader 90, whereby the card ID magnetically recorded on the ID card is read. . In this state, if this ID card is the ID card of the person in charge of the security company and the operator does not have the authority to perform “delivery”, “delivery” is hidden or displayed in a light color, This “delivery” operation is not accepted. On the other hand, when the operator has the authority to perform “delivery”, when the operator selects “delivery (payment)”, the delivery processing screen shown in FIG.

  The delivery processing screen includes a card ID, a delivered amount, the number of coins that can be stored and a graph display thereof, and the number of banknotes that can be stored and a graph display thereof. For this reason, the operator may confirm the delivered amount indicating the total amount of sales received from the cash register engaged by the operator before the sales are transferred to the sales deposit machine 1 (payment processing). it can. When the operator is an administrator, the delivered amount and the total amount of all cash registers are displayed on the delivery processing screen.

  If a predetermined period (for example, “30 seconds”) has elapsed since the delivery processing screen was displayed on the operation display unit 88, the screen is switched to the display screen shown in FIG. This is because displaying the delivered amount on the operation display unit 88 for a long time may cause an unexpected fraud. Here, a case where the display screen of the operation display unit 86 is also switched is shown, and the display screen of the operation display unit 86 is alternately switched to the display screen shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, the operator manually opens the shutter 12a and the shutter 52a provided on the upper surface of the housing 1a of the sales depositing machine 1, and inputs coins and bills from the outside of the housing 1a into the inserting unit 12 and the inserting unit 52. After that, when the “start button” displayed on the delivery processing screen of the operation display unit 88 is pressed, the coins and bills inserted into the insertion unit 12 and the insertion unit 52 are fed out into the housing 1a. Specifically, coins thrown into the throwing unit 12 are fed one by one into the housing 1 a by the turntable 13 provided in the throwing unit 12 and transported by the transporting unit 14. At this time, the identification unit 16 identifies the denomination, authenticity, and correctness of the coin. The coins identified as normal coins by the identification unit 16 are branched from the transport unit 14 by the distribution mechanism 18 and sent to the temporary storage unit 26 via the temporary storage chute 22. Temporarily put on hold. At this time, the temporary holding unit 26 is maintained at the center position in FIG. In addition, a coin that has been identified as not being a normal coin by the identifying unit 16 or a coin that could not be identified by the identifying unit 16 falls as a reject coin from the opening 20 and is passed through the reject chute 24 to the reject unit 28. Sent. Thus, since the operator can access the reject unit 28 from the front side of the housing 1a of the sales depositing machine 1, when the reject coin is sent to the reject unit 28, the operator rejects the reject unit 28 from the reject unit 28. Coins can be taken out.

  When the operator presses a “start button” displayed on the delivery processing screen of the operation display unit 88 after the banknote is inserted into the insertion unit 52, the banknote inserted into the insertion unit 52 is 1 by the feeding mechanism 54. Each sheet is fed into the housing 1 a and conveyed by the conveyance unit 56. At this time, the identification unit 58 identifies the denomination, authenticity, correctness, and the like of the banknote. Coins identified as normal banknotes by the identification unit 58 are sent to the temporary storage unit 64 by the branching unit 60 and temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 64. Moreover, the banknote identified by the identification part 58 as not being a normal banknote, and the banknote which could not be identified by the identification part 58 are sent to the rejection part 62 as a rejection banknote. In this way, since the operator can access the reject unit 62 from the front side of the housing 1a of the sales deposit machine 1, when the reject banknote is sent to the reject unit 62, the operator rejects the reject unit 62 from the reject unit 62. A bill can be taken out.

  All of the coins thrown into the throwing unit 12 are fed into the housing 1 a by the turntable 13 provided in the throwing unit 12, sent to the temporary storage unit 26 or the reject unit 28, and thrown into the throwing unit 52. When all the bills are fed into the housing 1a by the feeding mechanism 54 and sent to the temporary storage unit 64 or the reject unit 62, the operation display unit 88 displays the display screen shown in FIG. . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, a screen including “total amount” indicating the amount to be delivered is displayed on the operation display unit 86, and a confirmation screen is displayed on the operation display unit 88. The

  Then, the operation key 89 lights up, indicating that the operation key 89 is a confirmation key. When the operator depresses the operation key 89 and inputs a payment confirmation command to the main body control unit 80, the temporary holding unit 26 moves from the center position in FIG. The coins that are held by the vehicle fall by its own weight from the temporary holding unit 26, are sent to the coin storage cassette 40 through the storage chute 32, and are stored in the coin storage cassette 40. When a payment confirmation command is input to the main body control unit 80, the banknote temporarily held in the temporary storage unit 64 is sent from the temporary storage unit 64 to the banknote storage cassette 70. Stored.

  After coins and banknotes are stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the banknote storage cassette 70 by inputting a payment confirmation command to the main body control unit 80, the transaction shown in FIG. A confirmation screen is displayed. Specifically, a screen including the delivery amount is displayed on the operation display unit 88. Further, the printing unit 84 prints information related to the result of the money depositing process and the counting process in the sales deposit machine 1 on the receipt.

  Note that the screen shown in FIG. 14 may be displayed instead of the display screen of the operation display unit 86 shown in FIG. Specifically, when the “number display” on the screen shown in FIG. 13A is selected, the screen shown in FIG. 13A is switched to the screen shown in FIG.

<Processing Procedure of Main Body Control Unit 80>
Next, a processing procedure of the main body control unit 80 when the “tightening” operation is performed will be described. FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the main body control unit 80 when the “tightening” operation is performed. Here, it is assumed that the card ID magnetically recorded on the ID card (magnetic card) 92 has already been read by the magnetic card reader 90.

  As shown in the figure, if the main body control unit 80 accepts the “tightening” operation (step S101; Yes), it is determined whether or not the operator having the card ID has the authority to perform the “tightening” operation. (Step S102). Specifically, referring to the card ID data 94a shown in FIG. 7, if the authority level corresponding to the card ID is “1 (responsible person in charge)” or “2 (administrator)”, “tighten” It is determined that the user has authority to perform the operation.

  If it is determined that the user has authority to perform the “tightening” operation (step S103; Yes), a screen related to the “tightening” operation is displayed on the operation display unit 88. Then, if a “confirmation operation” is performed on this screen (step S104; Yes), after printing a “tightening” receipt (step S105), after backing up the delivered amount in the delivered amount data 94b, The delivered amount in the delivered amount data 94b is reset (step S106). If it is determined that the user does not have the authority to perform the “tightening” operation (step S103; No), and if the “confirming operation” is not performed (step S104; No), the process is terminated.

  As described above, when the “tightening” operation is performed, the delivered amount in the delivered amount data 94b is reset, so that it is included in the delivery process screen displayed on the operation display unit 88 when performing the delivery process. The delivered amount means the delivered amount after the “tightening” process is performed.

  Next, a processing procedure of the main body control unit 80 when the “delivery” operation is performed will be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the main body control unit 80 when the “delivery” operation is performed. Here, it is assumed that the card ID magnetically recorded on the ID card (magnetic card) 92 has already been read by the magnetic card reader 90.

  As shown in FIG. 16, if the main body control unit 80 accepts the “delivery” operation (step S201; Yes), it is determined whether or not the operator having the card ID has the authority to perform the “delivery” operation. (Step S202). Specifically, referring to the card ID data 94a shown in FIG. 7, when the authority level corresponding to the card ID is “1 (responsible person in charge)” or “2 (administrator)”, “delivery” It is determined that the user has authority to perform the operation.

  If it is determined that the user has the authority to perform the “delivery” operation (step S203; Yes), the registration ID corresponding to the card ID is specified with reference to the card ID data 94a (step S204). For example, when the card ID is “A123”, there is an authority to perform a “delivery” operation, and the register ID corresponding to this card ID is specified as “R001”. If it is determined that the user does not have the authority to perform the “delivery” operation (step S203; No), the process is terminated as it is.

  After that, the main body control unit 80 specifies the delivered amount corresponding to the cash register ID with reference to the delivered amount data 94b, and controls to display the delivery processing screen including the delivered amount on the operation display unit 88 (step S205). ). For example, when the card ID is “A123”, the cash register ID is “R001”, and the delivered amount corresponding to this cash register ID is “2,151,650 yen”.

  Until the predetermined time (for example, “30 seconds”) elapses (step S206; No), the above-described delivery processing screen is displayed and controlled on the operation display unit 88, and if the predetermined time has elapsed (step S206). S206; Yes), the delivery processing screen displayed on the operation display unit 88 is switched to the currency counting start screen (step S207). This is because if a delivery process screen including the delivered amount is displayed on the operation display unit 88 for a long time, an unexpected fraud may occur.

  If the “start” button on the counting start screen is pressed (step S208; Yes), the currency counting process is performed (step S209), the counting result is displayed (step S210), and a receipt is printed. (Step S211), the process is terminated.

  Next, a processing procedure of the main body control unit 80 when the “security collection” operation is performed will be described. FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the main body control unit 80 when the “security collection” operation is performed. Here, it is assumed that the card ID magnetically recorded on the ID card (magnetic card) 92 has already been read by the magnetic card reader 90.

  As shown in the figure, if the main body control unit 80 accepts the “security collection” operation (step S301; Yes), whether or not the operator having the card ID has the authority to perform the “security collection” operation. Is determined (step S302). Specifically, with reference to the card ID data 94a shown in FIG. 7, when the collection possibility corresponding to the card ID is “1 (with collection authority)”, the person has the authority to perform the “security collection” operation. Is determined. For example, the card ID “A123” shown in FIG. 7 has “0 (no collection authority)” as to whether or not it can be collected, and therefore has no authority to perform security collection. On the other hand, since the card ID “B001” shown in FIG. 7 is “1 (with collection authority)” as to whether collection is possible, it has the authority to perform security collection.

  And when it determines with having the authority to perform "guard collection" operation (step S303; Yes), the sum total of the delivered amount of all the cash registers is calculated (step S304). In addition, when the closing process is performed before the security collection is performed and there is a backed-up delivery amount, the total amount including the backed-up delivery amount is calculated. This is because the amount of all the money stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70 is specified. If it is determined that the user does not have the authority to perform the “security recovery” operation (step S303; No), the process is terminated as it is.

  Thereafter, a confirmation screen including the total amount of the delivered amount, that is, the total amount of all the coins stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70 is displayed on the operation display unit 88 (step S305), and a predetermined time ( For example, if “30 seconds” has elapsed (step S306; Yes), the confirmation screen displayed on the operation display unit 88 is switched to the money collection start screen (step S307). This is to prevent a situation in which an unexpected fraud is caused by displaying the amounts of all the money stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70 for a long time.

  When the “start” button is pressed on the money collection start screen (step S308; Yes), the money collection process is performed, and the coin storage cassette 40 and the banknote storage cassette 70 are taken out of the apparatus (step S309). Then, a receipt is printed (step S310), and the process is terminated.

  As described above, the sales deposit machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes the operation display unit 88, the input units 12 and 52 into which money is input, and the coins that store the money input into the input units 12 and 52. The storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70, and a main body control unit 80 for controlling the display of the delivered amount on the operation display unit 88 for a predetermined period (eg, “30 seconds”) after a predetermined operation is performed. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently notify the operator of the amount of money that has already been delivered into the apparatus, while suppressing the situation of causing fraud before delivering the money.

  By the way, in the said Example, although the case where the one sales deposit machine 1 was provided was shown, the some sales deposit machine 1 may be provided in a shop. In such a case, it is desirable that the cashier person can perform the sales delivery process (payment process) using any of the sales deposit machines 1. For this reason, here, a case where a plurality of sales deposit machines 1 are provided will be described.

  In this case, it is necessary to be able to confirm the delivered amount of the corresponding cash register regardless of which of the plurality of sales deposit machines 1 is used by the operator. Therefore, when the main body control unit 80 of each sales deposit machine 1 receives the card ID of the operator's ID card, the cash register ID is specified from the card ID, and each sales deposit corresponding to this registration ID is performed. The total of the delivered amount of the machine 1 is controlled to be displayed on the operation display unit 88 for a predetermined period (for example, “30 seconds”). Specifically, if a plurality of sales deposit machines 1 are communicably connected and configured to notify other sales deposit machines 1 of the delivered amount data 94b in the own apparatus, each sales deposit machine 1 The main body control unit 80 can calculate the total delivered amount of each sales deposit machine 1 corresponding to the cash register ID. In addition, a plurality of sales deposit machines 1 are connected to be communicable, and one of the plurality of sales deposit machines 1 is used as a parent machine, and the sales deposit machine 1 having this parent machine as a child machine has been delivered. The sales deposit machine 1 that has acquired the amount and received the ID card requests the parent machine for the total amount delivered, and the parent machine notifies the corresponding sales deposit machine 1 of the total amount delivered. Even when configured, the main body control unit 80 can acquire the sum of the delivered amounts of the sales deposit machines 1 corresponding to the cash register ID. Further, the plurality of sales deposit machines 1 are communicably connected to a predetermined server device, and the server device acquires the delivered amount of each sales deposit machine 1 and receives the ID card. Even when the server device is configured to request the total of the delivered amount and the server device notifies the corresponding sales deposit machine 1 of the delivered amount, the main body control unit 80 corresponds to the register ID. It becomes possible to acquire the total of the delivered amount of each sales deposit machine 1 to be performed. In addition, when there are a plurality of sales deposit machines 1 and the sales deposit machine 1 operated by the operator cannot perform the delivery process (payment process), which sales deposit machine 1 can deposit money Can also be notified.

  In the above embodiment, the screen is switched from the delivery processing screen to the money counting screen after a predetermined time (for example, “30 seconds”) has elapsed, but the screen is switched by an operation (counting button, return button) by the operator. Measures can be used together.

  Moreover, it can also comprise so that the item contained in a delivery process screen may be displayed on a money counting screen by an operator's selection. However, since it is not desirable to display the delivered amount for a long time, in principle, the delivered amount cannot be displayed on the money counting screen. However, the delivered amount may be configured to be displayed only for a certain time (for example, “30 seconds”) on the money counting screen.

  In this embodiment, the number of coins that can be newly stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70 (the number obtained by subtracting the stored number from the upper limit number) is displayed on the delivery processing screen. When the operation is performed, it may be configured to display “the number of stored coins stored in the coin storage cassette 40 and the bill storage cassette 70”. In this case, the operator himself / herself subtracts the number of stored currencies from the upper limit number to determine the number of stored currencies.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the operator is determined to be “administrator” based on the card ID, the delivery display screen including the delivered amount of all the cash registers and the total amount thereof is displayed on the operation display unit 88. However, when it is determined that the operator is an “administrator”, the delivery display screen including the past delivery amount backed up during the closing process can be displayed on the operation display unit 88.

  In addition, when the sales deposit machine 1 is connected to a POS terminal or cash register change machine located at the cash register, the delivery amount calculated by the POS terminal or cash register change machine and the delivery completed delivered to the sales deposit machine 1 If the amount is different, the delivered amount can be highlighted in red, for example.

  In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the case where the card ID magnetically recorded on the magnetic card 92 is read by the magnetic card reader 90 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the IC card reader The present invention can also be applied when reading a card ID or the like stored in an IC card.

  In the sales depositing machine 1 of the present embodiment, the operation display units 86 and 88 have the same shape and size, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation display unit 86. , 88 can be made different in shape and size. Moreover, although the case where each operation display part 86 and 88 was arrange | positioned in parallel was shown, arrangement | positioning of each operation display part 86 and 88 is good also as other than parallel.
