  Hereinafter, the operation of the CPU 11 of the POS register 2 will be described. The CPU 11 executes registration processing and accounting processing according to the operation of the store clerk. For example, when the store clerk reads a product code affixed to the product by the scanner unit 18 or operates a preset button displayed on the store clerk display unit 14, the CPU 11 registers the product purchased by the customer. . Subsequently, when the clerk presses a predetermined key (for example, a closing key or an end key) of the operation unit 15, the CPU 11 displays the total amount or the like on the clerk display unit 14 and the customer display unit 16.

  Subsequently, when the clerk puts the deposit from the customer into the deposit slot and presses a predetermined key (for example, an accounting key) of the operation unit 15, the CPU 11 is put into the automatic change bill machine 17. Have the money counted. The automatic change bill machine 17 counts money inserted for each denomination. The CPU 11 obtains the counting result (input amount) from the automatic change bill 17 and compares the total amount of the registered products with the input amount.

  When the total amount of the registered merchandise matches the input amount, the CPU 11 displays the input amount on the salesclerk display unit 14 and the customer display unit 16. Further, the CPU 11 causes the automatic change bill 17 to store the inserted money. The automatic change machine 17 stores the inserted coins and then stores the latest information on the number of remaining coins for each denomination stored in the storage area (or hard disk 22) based on the number of coins inserted for each denomination. (Change change information) is updated. Moreover, the automatic change bill machine 17 stores deposit history information including information such as the number of inserted coins for each denomination. The automatic change bill machine 17 may store deposit history information including information indicating that the deposit is made by the registration process and the accounting process. Further, the CPU 11 causes the printing unit 19 to issue a receipt on which the store name, date / time, operator name, purchased product name, input amount, and the like are printed. Further, the CPU 11 transmits transaction information including the date and time, the device number of the POS register 2, the product code of the purchased product, and the like to the store controller 3 via the communication unit 20. Note that the CPU 11 may display that there is no change (for example, “0 yen change”), or may issue a receipt that prints that there is no change.

  When the input amount is larger than the total amount of the registered products, the CPU 11 calculates the change amount and displays the input amount and the change amount on the clerk display unit 14 and the customer display unit 16. In addition, the CPU 11 causes the automatic change bill 17 to store the inserted money and to release the change. The automatic change bill machine 17 stores the inserted money, counts the money released for each denomination, and discharges it as change from the change outlet. The automatic change bill change machine 17 releases the change, and then updates the latest information on the remaining number for each denomination stored in the storage area (or the hard disk 22) based on the number of inserted coins and the number of discharged coins for each denomination. (Change change information) is updated. Further, the automatic change bill machine 17 stores deposit history information including information such as the number of coins inserted for each denomination and withdrawal history information including information such as the number of coins discharged for each denomination. The automatic change bill machine 17 may store deposit history information including information indicating that the deposit is made by the registration process and the accounting process. In addition, the automatic change bill machine 17 may store withdrawal history information including information indicating that the withdrawal is performed by registration processing and accounting processing. Further, the CPU 11 causes the printing unit 19 to issue a receipt on which the store name, date and time, operator name, purchased product name, input amount, change amount, and the like are printed. Further, the CPU 11 transmits transaction information including the date and time, the device number of the POS register 2, the product code of the purchased product, and the like to the store controller 3 via the communication unit 20.

  When the input amount is smaller than the total amount of the registered products, the CPU 11 displays that the customer's deposit is insufficient. When the clerk inserts an additional deposit into the deposit slot and presses a predetermined key (for example, an accounting key) on the operation unit 15, the CPU 11 inserts the deposit into the automatic change bill 17 in the same manner as described above. To perform the counting of used money.

  Further, the CPU 11 determines whether or not it is a change near end. In other words, the POS register 2 has the automatic change fishing ticket machine 17 built in as described above, but whether or not the automatic change fishing ticket machine 17 built in the POS register 2 is a change near end or not is determined. The CPU 11 of the register 2 determines. For example, the CPU 11 refers to the information regarding the remaining number of coins for each denomination, and determines that it is a change near end when the remaining number is less than a reference number (a reference number for determining a change near end). Note that the reference number for determining the change near end may be set for each denomination. In addition, the reference number for determining the change near end may be set for each denomination for each POS register 2. When it is a change near end, the CPU 11 controls the change near end information to be transmitted to another POS register 2.

  More specifically, the CPU 11 may control to transmit change near-end information including current number information for each denomination that is a change near end, or may include replenishment required number information for each denomination that is a change near end. You may control to transmit change near-end information. In the case of transmitting the change near-end information including the information on the number of replenishment required for each denomination that is a change near end, a sufficient number (sufficient number) is set in advance for each denomination, and for each denomination that is a change near end. The difference between the sufficient number and the current number may be calculated as the replenishment required number and included in the change near-end information transmitted to another device. The change destination of the change near-end information may be all other devices existing in the POS system 1 or may be one or more preset other devices.

  When the CPU 11 receives change near-end information from another POS register 2 via the communication unit 20, the CPU 11 displays warning information to the effect that there is another POS register 2 that is a change near-end. Display on the unit 14.

  Further, when the other POS register 2 is in the change near end (specifically, when the change near end information is received from the other POS register 2), the CPU 11 has another POS register 2 in the change near end. In order to replenish money, control is performed so as to print and issue a withdrawal slip that is used when money is withdrawn from another POS register 2 other than the other POS register 2 that is a change near end.

  Specifically, when receiving the change near-end information, the CPU 11 changes the POS register 2 other than the POS register 2 other than the other POS register 2 that is the change change remaining information of the automatic change bill machine 17 of the POS register 2. One or more POS registers 2 capable of withdrawing money corresponding to the required number of replenishment for each denomination that is the change near end are selected based on the change remaining information of the automatic change bill 17 of the second automatic change.

  Note that the CPU 11 transmits a change remaining information request to each of the POS registers 2 other than the other POS registers 2 that are the change near-end, and another POS other than the other POS registers 2 that are the change near-end. Each change change information is received from each of the registers 2. In other words, when the CPU 11 receives a change change information request from another POS register 2, the CPU 11 acquires change change information of the automatic change bill machine 17 of the POS register 2 as a response to the change change information request. To the other POS register 2 of the request source.

  Hereinafter, a method for selecting one or more POS registers 2 will be described using a specific example. As a specific example, it is assumed that the POS register 2-2 can withdraw up to 15 for 1000 yen bills and withdraw up to 8 for 5000 yen bills. It is assumed that the POS register 2-3 can withdraw up to 8 sheets for 1000 yen bills and 15 sheets for 5000 yen bills. The POS register 2-4 can withdraw up to 3 for 1000 yen bills, and withdraw up to 10 for 5000 yen bills. In addition, the number of sheets that can be withdrawn is calculated from the current remaining number of sheets and the reference number (reference number for calculating the number of withdrawals possible, also referred to as the remaining reference number). The reference number (remaining reference number) for calculating the number of withdrawals may be set for each denomination. In addition, the reference number (remaining reference number) for calculating the number of withdrawals may be set for each denomination for each POS register 2.

(Selection method 1 / select the minimum equipment)
For example, when the POS register 2-2 (own device) receives change near-end information (requires 10 thousand yen bills and 5 5,000 yen bills) from the POS register 2-1 (other devices), the minimum The CPU 11 may select the POS register 2-2 in order to select a limited POS register 2 (select the POS register 2 so as to minimize the number of units). In this case, ten thousand yen bills and five thousand yen are withdrawn from one POS register 2-2.

(Selection method 2 / Select a device with a margin for the number of denominations available for each denomination)
For example, when the POS register 2-2 (own device) receives change near-end information (requires 10 thousand yen bills and 5 5,000 yen bills) from the POS register 2-1 (other devices), The CPU 11 may select the POS register 2-2 and the POS register 2-3 in order to select a device that has a margin in the number of denominations that can be released most. In this case, ten thousand yen bills are withdrawn from the POS register 2-2, and five thousand yen are withdrawn from the POS register 2-3.

  After selecting the POS register 2 that can be withdrawn, the CPU 11 causes the selected POS register 2 to read the withdrawal slip (if two or more POS registers 2 are selected, the selected POS register 2 reads them). Each withdrawal slip) is controlled to be printed and issued. On the withdrawal slip, the device number of the POS register 2 for reading the withdrawal slip is printed (for example, printed in characters) so that it can be visually recognized (can be read without depending on the machine), and the number of releases per denomination Prints the code information that encodes (the number of withdrawals). Further, the CPU 11 may perform control so as to print and issue another slip (for example, a replenishment registration information receipt described later) together with the withdrawal slip.

  When the withdrawal slip is read by the scanner unit 18 (or the imaging unit 21) (that is, when the code information printed on the withdrawal slip is read), the CPU 11 is based on the encoded device number. Then, it is determined whether or not the read withdrawal slip is for the device itself. When the read withdrawal slip is intended for its own device, the CPU 11 withdraws money to the automatic change bill 17 based on the number of discharges for each denomination encoded in the withdrawal slip. Execute the process. In addition, the CPU 11 stores withdrawal history information including information indicating the number of releases for each denomination and that the withdrawal is based on a withdrawal slip. Further, the CPU 11 may store withdrawal history information including information indicating that the withdrawal is due to a change near end (withdrawal for replenishment to another device).

  Further, after executing the withdrawal process, the CPU 11 controls to print and issue a deposit slip to be read by the other POS register 2 which is a change near end. The deposit slip is a code that prints the device number of the POS register 2 that allows the receipt slip to be read (can be read regardless of the machine) and encodes the number of deposits (deposit number) for each denomination. Print information. Since the money released (withdrawn) in the POS register 2 is inserted (withdrawn) into another POS register 2, the money for each denomination released (withdrawn) in the POS register 2 is used. The number of sheets to be released (the number of money to be withdrawn) matches the number of money to be inserted (the number of money to be deposited) for each denomination encoded in the deposit slip.

  When the deposit slip is read by the scanner unit 18 (or the imaging unit 21) (that is, when the code information printed on the deposit slip is read), the CPU 11 reads based on the encoded device number. It is determined whether or not the received deposit slip is for the device itself. When the read deposit slip is intended for its own device, the CPU 11 accepts the insertion of money into the deposit slot. After inserting the banknote, the CPU 11 determines whether the inserted denomination and the number of coins match the inserted number for each denomination coded in the deposit slip. If they match, the CPU 11 causes the automatic change bill 17 to execute a deposit process (stores (inserts) the inserted money). Further, the CPU 11 stores deposit history information including information indicating that the number of deposits for each denomination and deposit based on a deposit slip. Further, the CPU 11 may store deposit history information including information indicating that the deposit is due to the change near end (deposit of money withdrawn from another device to eliminate the change near end).

  FIG. 4 is an example of a withdrawal slip and a deposit slip. The POS register 2 prints and issues a withdrawal slip (change withdrawal slip) as shown in FIG. 4A after selecting the POS register 2 that can withdraw money. The change payment slip shown in FIG. 4A includes, as characters, an issuance date, a device number of a target device (POS register 2 for reading the withdrawal slip and dispensing money), operator information (employee) ID, name) etc. are printed.

  In addition, a two-dimensional barcode (for example, QR code (registered trademark)) is printed on the change withdrawal slip shown in FIG. 4A. The two-dimensional barcode includes the device number and denomination of the target device. The number of discharges (number of withdrawals) for each is encoded and stored, etc. In the two-dimensional barcode, the slip is a change withdrawal slip (withdrawal slip) or a change receipt slip (payment slip). The information for identifying whether it is a change payment slip or a change payment slip may be included in the withdrawal history information or the payment history information by the withdrawal by the withdrawal slip. This is referred to when storing the fact that it is a deposit or a deposit slip, etc. Also, in the 2D barcode, the change withdrawal slip (withdrawal slip) is issued due to the change near end. Is issued due to change or change near full (described later) The information for identifying whether the change withdrawal slip is issued due to the change near end or the change near full may be included. Is referred to when the withdrawal history information stores the fact that the withdrawal is due to change near end or the withdrawal is attributable to change near full.

  The POS register 2 may print and issue a change withdrawal slip as shown in FIG. 4C instead of the change withdrawal slip as shown in FIG. In the change withdrawal slip shown in FIG. 4 (c), the device number of the target device, the device number of the target device, the number of discharges (number of withdrawals) for each denomination, and the like are encoded. Code 128 in which the number of discharges (the number of withdrawals) for each denomination is coded is printed.

  After executing the withdrawal process, the POS register 2 prints and issues a deposit slip (change deposit slip) as shown in FIG. In the change receipt slip shown in FIG. 4B, the date of issue, the device number of the target device (POS register 2 for reading the receipt slip and depositing money), operator information, and the like are printed as characters. .

  In addition, a two-dimensional barcode is printed on the change receipt slip shown in FIG. In the two-dimensional bar code, the device number of the target device, the number of inserted pieces (deposited number) for each denomination are encoded and stored. The two-dimensional barcode may include information for identifying whether the slip is a change payment slip (withdrawal slip) or a change payment slip (payment slip). Information that identifies whether it is a change withdrawal slip or a change receipt slip is stored in the withdrawal history information or the receipt history information indicating that the withdrawal is a withdrawal slip or a deposit slip. And so on. The two-dimensional barcode identifies whether the change receipt slip (payment slip) is issued due to change near end or issued due to change near full (described later). May be included. The information for identifying whether the change receipt slip is issued due to change near end or change near full is that the receipt history information is the payment due to change near end. It is referred to when storing the fact that the payment is due to change or near full.

  The POS register 2 may print and issue a change receipt slip as shown in FIG. 4D instead of the change receipt slip as shown in FIG. In the change receipt slip shown in FIG. 4 (d), the device number and denomination of the target device are used instead of the two-dimensional barcode in which the device number of the target device and the number of deposits (number of deposits) for each denomination are encoded. Code 128 in which the number of inserted sheets (number of deposited sheets) is encoded is printed.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the contents of the code information printed on the withdrawal slip and the deposit slip. Specifically, FIG. 5 shows an example of information encoded in the Code 128 in a mode in which the Code 128 is printed on the withdrawal slip and the deposit slip. In FIG. 5, “F” at the top is a processing category of withdrawal or deposit (a deposit / withdrawal flag for identifying whether it is a withdrawal slip or a deposit slip). “NNNNNN” is device identification information (device number of the target device) that identifies a device to withdraw or deposit. “MMMMMM” is operator identification information (employee ID) for identifying the operator. “AAA” is the number of 5,000 yen bills. “BBB” is the number of thousand yen bills. “CCC” is the number of 500 yen coins. “DDD” is the number of one hundred yen coins. “EEE” is the number of 50-yen coins. “FFF” is the number of ten-yen coins. “GGG” is the number of 5-yen coins. “HHH” is the number of one-yen coins. “C / d” is a check digit.

  6 and 7 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the POS system 1. Specifically, an example of the operation of a plurality of POS registers 2 relating to change replenishment is shown. In the description of the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, it is assumed that the number of POS registers 2 included in the POS system 1 is four (POS register 2-1 to POS register 2-4). Suppose that 1 becomes a money near end. 6 (similarly in FIG. 7), the leftmost operation of the POS register 2-1, the second operation from the left is the operation of the POS register 2-2, the third operation from the left is the operation of the POS register 2-3, The rightmost side shows the operation of the POS register 2-4. The flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is a continuation of the flowchart shown in FIG.

Step S500: The POS register 2-1 recognizes the change near end of its own device. Step S501: The POS register 2-1 transmits change near-end information to the POS register 2-2. The POS register 2-1 may send change near end information including current number information for each denomination that is a change near end to another device, or change near end that includes information on the number of replenishment required for each denomination that is a change near end. Information may be transmitted to other devices. It is assumed that the transmission destination of the change near-end information by the POS register 2-1 is set in advance as the POS register 2-2.

Step S502: The POS register 2-2 receives change near-end information from the POS register 2-1.
Step S503: The POS register 2-2 displays warning information indicating that there is a change near-end device on the display 14 for the clerk. The warning display includes icon display, pop-up character display, and the like. The POS register 2-2 proceeds to step S504 when a predetermined button (for example, “change information acquisition” button) is pressed.
Step S504: The POS register 2-2 acquires change change information of the device itself (latest information on the number of remaining items for each denomination).
Step S505: The POS register 2-2 stores the change remaining information in each of the other devices (POS register 2-3 and POS register 2-4) other than the other device (POS register 2-1) which is the change near-end. Send a request.

Step S506: The POS register 2-3 receives the change remaining information request from the POS register 2-2.
Step S507: The POS register 2-3 acquires change change information of the own device.
Step S508: The POS register 2-3 transmits its change change information to the POS register 2-2.

Step S509: The POS register 2-4 receives the change remaining information request from the POS register 2-2.
Step S510: The POS register 2-4 acquires change change information of its own device.
Step S511: The POS register 2-4 transmits change change information of its own device to the POS register 2-2.

Step S512: The POS register 2-2 receives change change information from the POS register 2-3 and the POS register 2-4.
Step S513: The POS register 2-2 prepares to issue a withdrawal slip. Specifically, the POS register 2-2 executes steps S106 to S110 (not shown).

Step S106: The display unit for the store clerk stores information on the devices that are stored in excess of the reference reference number (reference number for calculating the number of withdrawals possible, that is, the reference number that must be kept) for the near-end denomination. 14 is displayed. In other words, the change remaining information of each of the other devices received in step S512 is compared with a preset reference number of remaining, and each denomination that is a change near end is stored exceeding the reference remaining number. Displays information about the devices that are in use. Note that the information of the device may be printed out instead of or in addition to the display output.
Step S107: The replenishment number required for each denomination in the change near-end device is acquired. For example, if the change near-end information received in step S502 includes information on the number of sheets to be replenished for each denomination that is a change near-end, the number of sheets to be replenished is acquired from the change near-end information. If the change near-end information received in step S502 includes the current number information for each denomination that is a change near-end, the difference between the preset sufficient number and the current number is determined for each denomination that is a change near-end. Calculate as the number of replenishment required, and obtain the number of replenishment required for each denomination.
Step S108: The replenishment required number for each denomination acquired in step S107 is displayed. Instead of or in addition to the display output, the required number of sheets for each denomination may be printed out.
Step S109: One or more devices (POS register 2) capable of withdrawing the necessary amount of money for each denomination are selected. For example, based on the change remaining information of the own device acquired in step S504 and the change remaining information of the other device received in step S512, the minimum amount of money that can be dispensed for each denomination is required. Is selected (POS register 2 is selected so that the number of units is minimized). Instead of the minimum device capable of dispensing money required for each denomination, it is also possible to select a device that has the most allowance for each denomination.
Step S110: The selection result selected in step S109 is displayed on the salesclerk display unit 14. For example, the device number of the selected device and the number of coins for each denomination to be withdrawn in each device are displayed. The selection result may be printed out instead of or in addition to the display output. In step S109, the POS register 2-2 is a POS register 2-2 (own device) and a POS register as a device capable of dispensing the required amount of money for each denomination to be replenished to the POS register 2-1. Assume that the register 2-3 is selected.

Step S514: The POS register 2-2 prints and issues a withdrawal slip to be read by the device selected as the device capable of withdrawal. That is, the POS register 2-2 prints and issues a withdrawal slip for the POS register 2-2 (own device) and a withdrawal slip for the POS register 2-3.

Step S520: The POS register 2-2 reads the withdrawal slip. The POS register 2-2 determines whether or not the read withdrawal slip is intended for the device itself based on the device number encoded in the withdrawal slip, and the read withdrawal is performed. If the slip is for the device itself, the process proceeds to step S521; otherwise, the process is terminated.
Step S521: The POS register 2-2 discharges (withdraws) money based on the number of dispenses (number of withdrawals) for each denomination encoded in the withdrawal slip targeted for the read own device.
Step S522: The POS register 2-2 stores withdrawal history information. For example, the POS register 2-2 includes, as the withdrawal history information, the date and time, the device number, that the withdrawal is based on the withdrawal slip, operator information (employee information), and the number of releases (number of withdrawals) for each denomination. Memorize etc. As the withdrawal history information, information indicating that the withdrawal is due to the change near end may be stored instead of or in addition to the withdrawal based on the withdrawal slip.
Step S523: The POS register 2-2 prints and issues a deposit slip to be read by the POS register 2-1.

Step S524: The POS register 2-3 reads the withdrawal slip. The POS register 2-3 determines whether or not the read withdrawal slip is intended for the own device based on the device number encoded in the withdrawal slip, and the read withdrawal is performed. If the slip is for the device itself, the process proceeds to step S525; otherwise, the process is terminated.
Step S525: The POS register 2-3 discharges (withdraws) money based on the number of discharges (number of withdrawals) for each denomination encoded in the withdrawal slip for the device itself read. Step S526: The POS register 2-3 stores the withdrawal history information. For example, the POS register 2-3 includes, as the withdrawal history information, the date and time, the device number, that the withdrawal is based on a withdrawal slip, operator information (employee information), and the number of releases for each denomination (number of withdrawals). Memorize etc. As the withdrawal history information, information indicating that the withdrawal is due to the change near end may be stored instead of or in addition to the withdrawal based on the withdrawal slip.
Step S527: The POS register 2-3 prints and issues a deposit slip to be read by the POS register 2-1.

Step S528: The POS register 2-1 reads the deposit slip. The POS register 2-1 determines whether or not the read receipt slip is intended for the own device based on the device number encoded in the receipt slip, and the read receipt slip is automatically determined. If the device is targeted, the process proceeds to step S529, and if not, the process ends. That is, the POS register 2-1 reads either the deposit slip issued by the POS register 2-2 in step S523 or the deposit slip issued by the POS register 2-3 in step S527.
Step S529: The POS register 2-1 accepts the insertion of money into the deposit input slot.
Step S530: The POS register 2-1 determines whether or not the inserted denomination and the number of coins match the read deposit slip. If they match, the process proceeds to step S531, and if they do not match, the process proceeds to step S533.
Step S531: The POS register 2-1 stores (deposits) input money.
Step S532: The POS register 2-1 stores payment history information. For example, the POS register 2-1 stores, as the payment history information, the date and time, the device number, the fact that the payment is based on a payment slip, operator information (employee information), the number of coins inserted for each denomination (the number of deposits), and the like. . It should be noted that, as the deposit history information, information indicating that the deposit is due to the change near end may be stored instead of or in addition to the deposit based on the deposit slip.
Step S533: The POS register 2-1 outputs that the amounts do not match (for example, displays a pop-up screen on the store clerk display unit 14). That is, the POS register 2-1 notifies that a mismatch has occurred in deposit / withdrawal. Thereafter, the POS register 2-1 determines whether or not there has been an operation (for example, pressing of an “OK” button) to continue the processing. If there is an operation to continue the process, step S531 and the subsequent steps are executed, and if there is no operation to continue the process, the process proceeds to step S534.
Step S534: The money inserted in step S529 is discharged (refunded). Then, the flowchart shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 ends. If there is still a deposit slip that has not been read, the process returns to step S528.

  In step S533, the POS register 2-1 does not match the deposit / withdrawal due to voice output (for example, alarm sound, synthesized voice) or light emission of a sign pole (described later) instead of or in addition to the screen display. The occurrence may be notified, and the warning information may be notified (transmitted) to the store controller 3, the portable terminal owned by the person in charge, the other POS register 2, and the like.

  In addition, if the amount of money does not match but the process is continued and the inserted banknote is stored, the fact that the amount of money did not match but the process is continued and the inserted banknote is stored is stored as the deposit history information. Also good. As the deposit history information, it may be stored that the amount of money does not match in the replenishment of the change near end but the processing is continued and the inserted banknote is stored. In addition, when the inserted banknote is discharged due to the amount mismatch, information indicating that the inserted banknote has been discharged due to the amount mismatch may be left as history information, or the inserted banknote due to the amount mismatch in the refilling of the change near end. Information indicating that the battery has been discharged may be left as history information.

  FIG. 8 is an example of a display screen. 8, the POS system 1 includes the POS register 2-1 (device number “1”), the POS register 2-2 (device number “2”), and the POS register 2-3 (device number “1”). 3 ”), POS register 2-4 (equipment number“ 4 ”), and operation of the employee with employee number“ 123 ”releases 30 thousand yen bills from the first POS register 2-1. It is assumed that 25 thousand yen bills are inserted in the third POS register 2-3.

  The store controller 3 refers to the withdrawal history information and the receipt history information, and displays the status of the change replenishment in the automatic change bill machine 17 of the POS register 2. For example, when a predetermined button (for example, “change replenishment deposit / withdrawal status confirmation” button) is pressed, the store controller 3 reads each automatic change fishing ticket machine 17 from each POS register 2 existing in the POS system 1. (That is, withdrawal history information and deposit history information in all automatic change bill machines 17) are acquired (received), and a screen title ("A" in the figure) and message (" B ”) Deposit / withdrawal status of No. 1 POS register 2-1 (“ C ”in the figure) Deposit / withdrawal status of No. POS register 2-2 (“ D ”in the figure), No. 3 POS register 2 -3 is displayed (“E” in the figure), and the change / payment status confirmation of the change is received including the deposit / withdrawal situation (“F” in the figure) of the fourth OS register 2-4.

  Specifically, the store controller 3 indicates the number of deposits for each denomination included in the deposit history information acquired from the first POS register 2-1, in the deposit / withdrawal status of the POS register 2-1 ("C" in the figure). ) And the number of discharges for each denomination included in the withdrawal history information acquired from the first POS register 2-1 is displayed in the withdrawal column of the deposit / withdrawal status. Further, the store controller 3 displays the withdrawal history information and the employee information included in the deposit history information in the column of the employee of the deposit / withdrawal status. The store controller 3 displays the same for the second POS register 2-2, the third POS register 2-3, and the fourth POS register 2-4.

  Further, the store controller 3 cancels out for each denomination the number of releases for each denomination included in the withdrawal history information and the number of inputs for each denomination included in the deposit history information. Specifically, the store controller 3 cancels out the number of discharged sheets and the number of inserted sheets for each denomination of withdrawal history information and deposit history information having the same employee information. The store controller 3 displays the offset result as a message, for example.

  According to the example of FIG. 8, the store clerk states that “Mr. XXX” with the employee number “123” has dispensed (released) 30 thousand yen bills from the first POS register 2-1. No. POS register 2-3 had a minus 5000 yen abnormality (5000 yen shortage) as over / short information indicating that 25 thousand yen bills were deposited (inserted) into No. POS register 2-3. You can grasp that. In the example of FIG. 8, since the number of withdrawals for each denomination does not match the number of deposits for each denomination (withdrawal history information and receipt history information are offset for each denomination and the offset result is zero. Therefore, the fact that there is a discrepancy in deposit / withdrawal is informed (“B” in FIG. 8).

  As described above, in the POS system 1, when the automatic change bill 17 of a certain POS register 2 becomes a change near end, a desired denomination and number of coins to be replenished to eliminate the change near end are stored in other POS systems 1. The automatic change bill machine 17 in the POS register 2 is withdrawn, and the automatic change bill machine 17 at the change near end is deposited. Further, in the POS system 1, as described in steps S530 and S533, the denomination and number of sheets on the deposit slip (that is, withdrawal information at the time of withdrawal) and the denomination and number of sheets at the time of deposit (that is, It is determined whether or not the deposit information at the time of depositing matches, and if there is no match, the fact that there is a mismatch in deposit and withdrawal is notified.

  That is, in the POS system 1, when the money withdrawn by the withdrawal slip does not match the deposit information of the deposit by the deposit slip, that is, the withdrawal information (withdrawal by the withdrawal slip read by a certain POS register 2) The number of money for each denomination released from the POS register 2 that has read the withdrawal slip) and the deposit information of the deposit by the deposit slip issued after withdrawal in the POS register 2 that has read the withdrawal slip (the receipt slip If the read number of coins entered into the POS register 2 does not match, a notification is made that a mismatch has occurred in deposit / withdrawal. In other words, it is determined whether or not the number of denominations (money types) based on the deposit information and the number of denominations (money types) actually deposited are inconsistent. , It notifies that there is a discrepancy in deposits and withdrawals.

  It should be noted that the total amount (total amount) may be compared instead of comparing the number of denominations (money types). That is, since the total amount at the time of withdrawal and deposit is calculated from the number of each denomination (money type), the POS register 2 does not agree with the total amount based on the deposit information and the total amount actually deposited It may be determined whether or not there is a discrepancy, and if there is a discrepancy, it may be notified that a discrepancy has occurred in the deposit / withdrawal.

  As described above, the POS system 1 can immediately and easily grasp the excess or deficiency of money (for example, during business hours). Further, in the POS system 1, when the withdrawal history information (that is, withdrawal information at the time of withdrawal) and the deposit history information (that is, the receipt information at the time of withdrawal) do not match, the situation of deposit / withdrawal is excessive. The fact that the shortage has occurred is displayed in detail as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the cause of excess or deficiency of money.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the store controller 3 has been described as displaying the status of change replenishment deposits / withdrawals in all automatic change bill changers 17, but the store controller 3 may change the change in specific automatic change changers 17. You may make it display the condition of the payment / withdrawal of replenishment. For example, the operator ID included in the input history information (or output history information) is used as a search condition, and the status of the change for cash replenishment in the automatic change bill machine 17 in which the specific operator has made a deposit or withdrawal is displayed. It may be.

  Further, in place of or in addition to the store controller 3, the POS register 2 may display the status of the change replenishment deposit / withdrawal in the automatic change bill machine 17. For example, the POS register 2 may display the state of change / payment of change replenishment in the automatic change bill machine 17 of its own device, or the withdrawal history information and payment of the automatic change bill machine 17 of other devices. History information may be acquired to display the status of change replenishment / withdrawal in the automatic change bill 17 of another device.

  Further, the store controller 3 (or the POS register 2) may print out the status of the change replenishment deposit / withdrawal in the automatic change bill 17 instead of or in addition to the display.

  In the above embodiment, a slip (withdrawal slip, deposit slip) to be read by the POS register 2 is issued, but apart from a slip that is actually read by the POS register 2, a slip that is not actually read by the POS register 2 (A slip corresponding to a copy or a report) may be printed and issued. For example, as a withdrawal slip, a withdrawal instruction receipt that is read by the POS register 2 that dispenses money may be printed and issued, and a supplementary registration information receipt that prints the contents related to the withdrawal instruction receipt may be issued. It should be noted that the withdrawal instruction receipt and the supplementary registration information receipt may be issued simply and well in a state where they can be separated from each other (for example, with a perforation or a half-cut state). .

  When two or more POS registers 2 are selected, the POS register 2 may print and issue a set of the above-described withdrawal instruction receipts and supplementary registration information receipts. For example, when three POS registers 2 are selected, the POS register 2 has three sets of withdrawal instruction receipts and supplementary registration information receipts (that is, three withdrawal instruction receipts and three supplementary registration information receipts). ) Is printed and issued. When two or more POS registers 2 are selected, the POS register 2 is replaced with a withdrawal instruction receipt for the number of sheets and a supplementary registration information receipt for collecting information for the number of sheets. You may print and issue. For example, when three POS registers 2 are selected, the POS register 2 may print and issue three withdrawal instruction receipts and one supplementary registration information receipt.

  The POS register 2 may issue a slip that is not actually read by the POS register 2 when issuing a deposit instruction receipt as a deposit slip.

  In the above embodiment, when two or more POS registers 2 are selected as the POS register 2 that can be withdrawn, each withdrawal slip to be read by each selected POS register 2 is printed and issued. As described above, it is possible to print and issue one withdrawal slip that is commonly read by a plurality of selected POS registers 2. Note that a plurality of barcodes (individual barcodes) to be read by each of the POS registers 2 may be printed on one common withdrawal slip that is commonly read by the plurality of POS registers 2. One bar code (common bar code) that is commonly read by the POS register 2 may be printed. It should be noted that the common bar code described above only needs to be coded such that the number of withdrawals for each denomination in each POS register 2 is divided for each POS register 2, for example. Further, when issuing a withdrawal slip (withdrawal instruction receipt) together with other slips (replenishment registration information receipt), when issuing a common withdrawal slip that is commonly read by a plurality of POS registers 2. May print and issue one supplementary registration information receipt that summarizes the information of the plurality of POS registers 2.

  In the above embodiment, the withdrawal slip printed with information related to withdrawal and the receipt slip printed with information related to withdrawal are issued as separate slips. A printed slip (that is, a common slip that is read on both the side for dispensing (discharging) money and the side for inputting (inputting) money) may be issued.

  In the above embodiment, the POS register 2 prints and issues a slip (withdrawal slip, deposit slip), but the store controller 3 may print and issue it instead of the POS register 2. Regarding the withdrawal slip, for example, the change near end information may be transmitted to the store controller 3, and the store controller 3 that has received the change near end information may issue the withdrawal slip. However, the store controller 3 does not normally include the automatic change bill 17, so there is no need to take into account change change information of the own device. With regard to the deposit slip, for example, after storing the withdrawal history information, the POS register 2 sends a print instruction for the deposit slip to the store controller 3, and the store controller 3 that has received the print instruction prints and issues the deposit slip. Also good.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the latest information (change change information), deposit history information, and withdrawal history information regarding the number of remaining coins for each denomination are stored in each automatic change bill 17 or in each automatic change fishing. Although stored in the hard disk 22 of the POS register 2 in which the bill machine 17 is built, the store controller 3 may store the above information. For example, the store controller 3 receives information such as the number of inserted coins for each denomination and the number of ejected coins from the POS register 2 at the time of inserting and discharging money, and the change remaining information of the automatic change bill 17 of each POS register 2; Deposit history information and withdrawal history information may be stored.

  In the above embodiment, the POS register 2 dispenses (releases) money if the read withdrawal slip is intended for the own device, and the read deposit slip is intended for the own device. However, if the number of inserted coins coincides with the deposit slip, the inserted coins are deposited (stored). However, deposits and withdrawals may be managed based on information about the employee who operates. For example, when depositing / withdrawing, the employee ID is read more from a store clerk's portable item (for example, employee card), checked against the employee ID read from the slip, and whether or not they match, May be controlled so that deposits and withdrawals cannot be made. In addition, the employee ID may be read from the portable object by the scanner unit 18 or the imaging unit 21. When the portable object is an employee card having an IC tag or the like, the employee ID of the employee ID is obtained using RFID. You may read. If the employee IDs do not match, warning information (indicating that the employee IDs do not match in the deposit / withdrawal operation) is sent to the store controller 3, the portable terminal held by the person in charge, other POS registers 2, etc. Notification (transmission) may be performed. The same applies to a reserve management apparatus described later.

  Further, when the deposit / withdrawal operation is imaged by the imaging unit 21 and the employee IDs do not match, the employee ID is included in the deposit / withdrawal operation together with the code information of the read slip (that is, as history information). May be stored as warning information indicating that there is a mismatch, and a captured image. Note that the captured image may be stored as history information even when the employee IDs match. Alternatively, imaging may be started when an employee ID mismatch occurs in the deposit / withdrawal operation. In any case, the captured image, the warning information, and the slip code information when a mismatch occurs are stored, so that the follow-up survey can be performed accurately and easily at a later date. For example, if a check slip is known at the time of a follow-up survey, the code information of the slip is read, and the target code operation is searched from the history information using the read code information as a search condition. You can also. In addition, as a deposit / withdrawal situation, a daily report, a weekly report, a monthly report, etc. relating to a change replenishment operation may be output for each employee.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the printed slip (withdrawal slip, deposit slip) is printed with the device number of the device that reads the slip so as to be visible (readable regardless of the machine). From the slip, it is known which device reads the slip (that is, to which device the slip should be taken), but the sign pole whose tip portion emits light is connected to each POS register 2. It is also possible to notify the store clerk of the corresponding device by light emission of a sign pole. Alternatively, even before the voucher is issued, the store clerk may be informed of the device that has become a change near end due to the light emission of the sign pole.

  For example, the POS register 2 may cause the sign pole to emit red light when the change is near-end. Further, the POS register 2 that has received the change near-end information may cause the sign pole to emit light in blue. When a certain POS register 2 prints and issues a withdrawal slip, one or more POS registers 2 shown in the withdrawal slip (that is, the POS register 2 selected as the POS register 2 for withdrawing money). The sign pole may be made to emit yellow light. Note that the POS register 2 that prints out a withdrawal slip, when another POS register 2 is selected as the POS register 2 that dispenses money, is a POS register that dispenses money to the other selected POS register 2. By transmitting the information indicating that it has been selected as 2, the POS register 2 shown in the withdrawal slip determines that the device is the POS register 2 shown in the withdrawal slip, and emits a sign poll. You may do it.

  In the above embodiment, money for replenishing another POS register 2 is procured (withdrawn) from one or more other POS registers 2, but all or part of the money to be replenished. May be procured from other than the POS register 2 (for example, a reserve prepared in advance in the office or the like for all or part of the money to be replenished). Specifically, the POS system 1 may be set with respect to a procurement source of money to be replenished. For example, specify whether to procure from reserves (offices, etc.) ("office lump") or to procure from one or more POS registers 2 ("distribution in store") ”Column may be provided. When “distribution in store” is specified in the “supplier designation” field, procurement is made from one or more POS registers 2, but procurement from a predetermined number or more of POS registers 2 is required. (When the number of POS registers 2 selected as a withdrawal device is equal to or greater than a predetermined number), as in the case where “office batch” is designated, all the money to be replenished is a reserve ( It may be procured from an office or the like.

  In the above embodiment, the money stored in all the automatic change bill machines 17 included in the POS system 1 (the automatic change ticket machines 17 of all the POS registers 2 existing in the POS system 1 are stored as a whole. Even if money is used, there may be a situation where the replenishment of the automatic change bill machine 17 of the POS register 2 that caused the change near end cannot be covered. When such a situation occurs, regardless of whether or not the above-mentioned “supplier designation” field is provided (that is, whether or not the field itself exists), Regardless of the specified contents when provided, all or a part of the money to be replenished is other than the POS register 2 (for example, a preparation in which all or a part of the money to be replenished is prepared in advance in the office, etc. ) For example, all of the money to be replenished may be procured from a reserve (offices, etc.), or a reserve is provided for the amount of money withdrawn from all POS registers 2 (or a predetermined number of POS registers 2). You may make it procure from. Further, when the above-mentioned “supplier designation” column is provided and the above scene occurs, the supplier may be determined according to the contents designated in the “supplier designation” column. For example, if “Office Collective” is specified in the “Specify Supplier” column, all the money to be replenished will be procured from the reserve, and “Distributed in Store” will be specified in the “Specify Supplier” column. In such a case, it may be possible to procure from the reserves the amount that is not enough to withdraw from all the POS registers 2 (or a predetermined number of POS registers 2).

  Assuming a situation where procurement is made from a reserve as described above, reserves are preliminarily applied to a device (hereinafter referred to as a reserve management device) equipped with a scanner that reads a withdrawal slip and a printing unit that prints and issues a receipt slip. It may be stored. In other words, the POS register 2 and the reserve management device may operate as follows. The POS register 2 that has received the change near-end information prints and issues a withdrawal slip to be read by the reserve management device. Similar to the operation of the POS register 2 shown in FIG. 9, the reserve management device determines whether or not the withdrawal slip is intended for the own device (the reserve management device), and targets the own device. , Money is discharged (withdrawal) based on the withdrawal slip, and withdrawal history information is stored. As the withdrawal history information, the date and time, the device number, the fact that the withdrawal is based on the withdrawal slip, the operator information, the number of releases for each denomination (the number of withdrawals), and the like are stored. Further, as the withdrawal history information, information indicating that the withdrawal is due to the change near end may be stored instead of or in addition to the withdrawal based on the withdrawal slip. The reserve management device that has withdrawn money prints and issues a deposit slip that is read by the POS register 2 that has become a change near end. The reserve management device may be connected to the LAN shown in FIG.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when a certain POS register 2 becomes a change near end, the change near end information is transmitted to another POS register 2 and the change near end information is received (that is, the change near end is changed). The POS register 2 other than the POS register 2) prints and issues the withdrawal slip. However, the POS register 2 that has become the change near-end prints and issues the withdrawal slip by itself without transmitting the change near-end information. May be. For example, in the example of the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, the POS register 2-1 that has recognized the change near end of its own device in step S500 does not transmit the change near end information to the POS register 2-2, and sends it to the POS register 2-2. Instead, each process of steps S503, S504, S505, S512, S513, and S514 may be executed by itself. In the above case, the POS register 2-2 may perform the same processing as the POS register 2-3 and the POS register 2-4.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although change replenishment (movement) is performed at the timing when change near end arises, you may move change at another timing. For example, as a function related to the change replenishment, a “remaining confirmation” key may be provided on the sales collection screen, and the change may be moved when the “remaining confirmation” key is pressed. For example, when the “remaining confirmation” key is pressed, the change remaining information (number of current denominations, etc.) of each POS register 2 is acquired, and the number of denominations is determined as the reference number (the next business day). If there is a POS register 2 that is less than the reference number for each denomination to be left), one or more POS that can withdraw money to be deposited (moved) to the POS register 2 that is less than the reference number The register 2 (or reserve management device) is selected in the same manner as when the change near end occurs, and a withdrawal slip to be read by the selected POS register 2 is printed and issued. When the payment is completed, a payment slip is printed and issued, and the payment slip is read at the lower POS register described above to replenish money. Note that the change remaining information of each POS register 2 including the POS register 2 that is less than the reference number acquired after pressing the “remaining confirmation” key may be displayed on the clerk display unit 14 or may be printed. Good.

  In the above-described embodiment and the like, information to be read by the POS register 2 is recorded (printed) on a slip (withdrawal slip, deposit slip), but information to be read by the POS register 2 is recorded on another recording medium. May be. That is, change may be replenished without using one or both of the withdrawal slip and the deposit slip. For example, when the store clerk carries an IC card (for example, an employee card) equipped with an IC tag or the like, change may be replenished using an IC card instead of a withdrawal slip and a deposit slip. . Further, instead of the withdrawal slip and the deposit slip, the change may be replenished by data transmission / reception via the LAN, such as transmission / reception of change near-end information. Hereinafter, change replenishment using data transmission / reception via LAN, change replenishment using an IC card, and change replenishment using a display screen of a portable terminal will be described.

(Change replenishment by sending and receiving data via LAN)
When a certain POS register 2 becomes a change near end, the POS register 2 (or the POS register 2 that has received change near end information from the POS register 2 that has become a change near end) is printed on the withdrawal slip in the above embodiment. Such information (for example, information as shown in FIG. 5) is transmitted to the POS register 2 connected to the automatic change bill 17 for releasing money.

  The POS register 2 (POS register 2 for releasing money) that receives the information printed on the withdrawal slip is based on the received information when, for example, a store clerk presses a predetermined button (for example, an OK button). To release money. The POS register 2 that has received the information printed on the withdrawal slip may notify (for example, display) to the store clerk that money will be released for replenishment. Further, the POS register 2 from which the money has been released transmits information (for example, information as shown in FIG. 5) printed on the deposit slip in the above embodiment to the POS register 2 that has become a change near end.

  The POS register 2 that has received the information to be printed on the deposit slip (the POS register 2 that has become a change near-end) is based on the received information when, for example, a store clerk presses a predetermined button (for example, an OK button). To accept money. Similar to the change replenishment using the withdrawal slip and the receipt slip, the change replenishment by the data transmission / reception is performed to check whether or not the processing is performed in its own device and the number of input for each denomination is confirmed.

(Change change using IC card)
When a certain POS register 2 becomes a change near-end, the POS register 2 (or the POS register 2 that has received change near-end information from the POS register 2 that has become a change near-end) prints on the withdrawal slip in the above embodiment. Such information is written in the IC card using RFID. Note that the POS register 2 may notify (for example, display) to the store clerk that information should be written to the IC card when the change is near-end.

  The POS register 2 connected to the automatic change machine 17 for releasing money reads information written on the IC card (information printed on the withdrawal slip in the above embodiment) using RFID. . The POS register 2 that has read the information written in the IC card releases money based on the read information. Further, the POS register 2 from which the money has been released writes information to be printed on the deposit slip in the above embodiment on the IC card using RFID.

  The POS register 2 that has become a change near-end reads information written on the IC card (information printed on the deposit slip in the above embodiment) using RFID. The POS register 2 that has read the information written in the IC card accepts the insertion of money based on the read information. Similar to the change replenishment using the withdrawal slip and the deposit slip, the change replenishment using the IC card is also performed to check whether or not the processing is performed in its own device and the number of input for each denomination.

(Change replenishment using the display screen of the mobile terminal)
When a certain POS register 2 becomes a change near-end, the POS register 2 (or the POS register 2 that has received change near-end information from the POS register 2 that has become a change near-end) prints on the withdrawal slip in the above embodiment. Such information is transmitted to the mobile terminal used by the employee. The mobile terminal that has received the information printed on the withdrawal slip displays the information (including the barcode) printed on the withdrawal slip on the screen.

  The POS register 2 connected to the automatic change bill machine 17 that discharges money reads information displayed on the portable terminal (information printed on a withdrawal slip in the above embodiment). The POS register 2 that has read the information displayed on the portable terminal releases money based on the read information. Further, the POS register 2 that has released the money transmits information to be printed on the deposit slip in the above embodiment to the portable terminal used by the employee. The mobile terminal that has received the information printed on the deposit slip displays the information (including the barcode) printed on the deposit slip on the screen.

  The POS register 2 that has become a change near-end reads information displayed on the mobile terminal (information that is printed on the deposit slip in the above embodiment). The POS register 2 that has read the information displayed on the portable terminal accepts the insertion of money based on the read information. In addition, in the change replenishment using the display screen of the mobile terminal, as in the change replenishment using the withdrawal slip and the deposit slip, it is confirmed whether or not the processing is in the device itself and the number of input for each denomination Check.

  Note that the above-described change replenishment by data transmission / reception via a LAN, change replenishment using an IC card, and change replenishment using a display screen of a portable terminal may be used in combination. For example, information for depositing the desired denomination and number of coins to the change bill 17 is stored in the withdrawal slip, and information for depositing the desired denomination and number of coins to the change bill 17 (see above implementation). Information that is printed on the deposit slip in the form) may be recorded on the IC card.

  In the above-described embodiment, the POS system 1 is a POS register 2 that is a device that mainly has a function of a registration device that mainly performs registration processing and a function of an accounting device that mainly performs accounting processing. The POS system 1 has been described as having the POS register 2 integrated with the apparatus. However, the POS system 1 is a separate unit of a registration apparatus that mainly performs registration processing and an accounting apparatus that mainly performs accounting processing, instead of the POS register 2. You may make it prepare as.

  Hereinafter, the case where the registration apparatus and the accounting apparatus are provided separately will be described. The automatic change bill machine 17 is incorporated in an accounting apparatus. The accounting device may be a device (self-type accounting device) for which the customer himself performs accounting operations. The registration device may be one in which the customer himself performs a registration operation (self-type registration device). Note that the POS register 2 described in the above embodiment may also be one (self-integrated POS register) that is operated by the customer (registration operation, accounting operation).

  The accounting device that has become a change near-end transmits change near-end information to the registration device. For example, the accounting device that has become a change near-end transmits change near-end information to a predetermined registration device that is set in advance (for example, a registration device that is arranged closest to the device itself). Further, for example, the accounting device that has become a change near-end may transmit the change near-end information to a registration device designated by the operation of the store clerk. In addition, when the accounting device that has become a change near-end is an accounting device for which the customer himself / herself performs an accounting operation, the change near-end information is only required after a specific operation (secret operation) that the customer does not know is performed. An operation for designating a registration apparatus to be transmitted may be disabled. The registration device that has received the change near-end information, like the POS register 2 when the change near-end information has been received, has one or more accounting devices (or, Select a reserve management device) and print and issue a withdrawal slip. Note that the accounting apparatus that has become the change near end may print and issue the withdrawal slip by itself without transmitting the change near end information, similarly to the POS register 2 that has become the change near end.

  The accounting device that has read the withdrawal slip prints out the receipt slip that is to be withdrawn (released) and read by the accounting device that has become a near-end change, if the read withdrawal slip is intended for the device itself. Issue. The accounting device that has read the deposit slip deposits (stores) the inserted currency if the read deposit slip is for the device itself and the number of inserted currency matches the deposit slip. Further, like the POS register 2, the accounting apparatus may manage deposits and withdrawals based on information about the employee who operates.

  Similarly to the POS register 2, a sign pole may be connected to each of the accounting devices to notify the store clerk that the device is a change near-end device or a slip reading device. Further, a sign pole may be connected to each of the registration devices to notify the store clerk that the device has received the change near-end information.

  In the above embodiment, the movement of money (withdrawal and payment) in the case of a change near end (a state in which the number of coins on the automatic change bill 17 is close to zero) has been described. The same applies to the movement of money (withdrawal and depositing) in the case where the money on the change bill 17 is close to the allowable storage limit).

  Hereinafter, with respect to the operation when the change is near full, a configuration in which the registration device and the accounting device are integrated (that is, a configuration having the POS register 2), and a configuration in which the registration device and the accounting device are provided separately. This will be explained separately for each case.

(In the case of a configuration including the POS register 2)
The POS register 2 that has become change-full transmits the change-near-full information to a predetermined POS register 2 that is set in advance or a POS register 2 that is designated by a store clerk's operation. The POS register 2 that has received the change near-full information prints and issues a withdrawal slip for releasing (withdrawing) money from the POS register 2 that has become change-full. Note that the POS register 2 that has become change-full may print and issue a withdrawal slip by itself without transmitting change-near-full information.

  The POS register 2 that has read the withdrawal slip (POS register 2 that has become full of change) releases money based on the withdrawal slip if the read withdrawal slip is intended for the device itself (withdrawal). ) And store the withdrawal history information. As the withdrawal history information, the date and time, the device number, the fact that the withdrawal is based on the withdrawal slip, the operator information, the number of releases for each denomination (the number of withdrawals), and the like are stored. In addition, instead of or in addition to the fact that the withdrawal history information is withdrawal based on a withdrawal slip, the withdrawal is due to change near full (withdrawal to reduce the number of remaining devices). May be stored. The POS register 2 that has withdrawn money selects one or more POS registers 2 (or reserve management devices) that store the released money, and prints and issues a deposit slip.

  A method of selecting the POS register 2 when the released money is stored in one or more POS registers 2 (when not stored in the reserve management device) will be described. As a specific example, it is assumed that the POS register 2-2 can deposit up to 15 thousand yen bills and up to 8 thousand yen bills. It is assumed that the POS register 2-3 can deposit up to 8 sheets for 1000 yen bills and 15 sheets for 5 thousand yen bills. It is assumed that the POS register 2-4 can deposit up to three thousand yen bills and can deposit up to ten thousand yen bills. The number of sheets that can be deposited is calculated from the current remaining number and the reference number (reference number for calculating the number of depositable sheets). Note that the reference number for calculating the possible number of deposits may be set for each denomination. Further, the reference number for calculating the depositable number may be set for each denomination for each POS register 2.

(Selection method 1 / select the minimum equipment)
For example, when the POS register 2-2 (own device) receives change near-full information (requires 10 thousand yen bills and 5 5,000 yen bills) from the POS register 2-1 (other device), the minimum The POS register 2-2 may be selected in order to select a limited POS register 2 (select the POS register 2 so that the number of units is minimized). In this case, ten thousand yen bills and five thousand yen are stored in one POS register 2-2.

(Selection method 2 / Select a device that has enough room for each denomination)
For example, when the POS register 2-2 (own device) receives change near-full information (requires 10 thousand yen bills and 5 5,000 yen bills) from the POS register 2-1 (other devices), The POS register 2-2 and the POS register 2-3 may be selected in order to select a device that has the most room for the denomination. In this case, ten thousand yen bills are stored in the POS register 2-2, and five thousand yen bills are stored in the POS register 2-3.

  The POS register 2 that has read the deposit slip stores the inserted coin and stores the deposit history information if the read deposit slip is intended for the device itself and the number of inserted coins matches the deposit slip. In addition, as the payment history information, the date and time, the device number, the fact that the payment is based on the deposit slip, the operator information, the number of deposits for each denomination (deposit count), and the like are stored. In addition, as deposit history information, instead of or in addition to deposit by deposit slip, deposit due to change near full (payment of money withdrawn from other devices to eliminate change near full) Information to that effect may be stored.

  When the reserve management device reads the deposit slip (when the money withdrawn from the POS register 2 that has become change-full is deposited into the reserve management device), the POS register that has read the above deposit slip As in the case of No. 2, the input money is stored and the payment history information is stored.

  Note that the POS register 2 may manage (limit) deposits and withdrawals based on information on the employee to be operated, as in the case of change near-end. The same applies to the reserve management device. Further, the POS register 2 may notify the store clerk of the fact that the device is a change-full device, a device for reading a slip, and the like using a sign pole as in the case of the change near-end.

(In the case of a configuration in which a registration device and an accounting device are provided separately)
The accounting device that has become change-full transmits change-near-full information to a predetermined registration device that is set in advance or a registration device that is designated by a store clerk's operation. The registration device that has received the change near-full information prints and issues a withdrawal slip for discharging (withdrawing) money from the accounting device that has become the change near full. Note that the accounting device that has become change-full may print and issue a withdrawal slip by itself without transmitting change-near-full information.

  The accounting device that has read the withdrawal slip (the accounting device that has become fully changeable), withdraws (releases) money if the read withdrawal slip is intended for the device itself, and stores the released money. One or more accounting devices (or reserve management devices) are selected, and a payment slip is printed and issued.

  A method of selecting an accounting device when the released money is stored in one or more accounting devices (when not stored in the reserve management device) will be described. As a specific example, it is assumed that the accounting apparatus B can deposit up to 15 thousand yen bills and can deposit up to 8 thousand yen bills. The accounting apparatus C can deposit up to eight thousand yen bills and up to 15 thousand yen bills. The accounting device D can deposit up to three thousand yen bills and up to ten thousand yen bills. The number of sheets that can be deposited is calculated from the current remaining number and the reference number (reference number for calculating the number of depositable sheets).

(Selection method 1 / select the minimum equipment)
For example, when the accounting device B (own device) receives change near-full information (requires 10 thousand yen bills and 5 5,000 yen bills) from the accounting device A (other devices), the minimum accounting device The accounting device B may be selected to select (the accounting device is selected so that the number of units is minimized). In this case, ten thousand yen bills and five 5,000 yen are stored in one accounting device B.

(Selection method 2 / Select a device that has enough room for each denomination)
For example, when the accounting device B (own device) receives change near-full information (requires 10 thousand yen bills and 5 5,000 yen bills) from the accounting device A (other devices), the most for each denomination The accounting device B and the accounting device C may be selected in order to select a device that has a sufficient number of sheets. In this case, ten thousand yen bills are stored in the accounting apparatus B, and five thousand yen are stored in the accounting apparatus C.

  The accounting device that has read the deposit slip stores the inserted coin if the read deposit slip is for the device itself and the number of inserted coins matches the deposit slip.

  Note that the accounting apparatus may manage (limit) deposits and withdrawals based on information regarding the employee to be operated, as in the case of change near-end. Further, as in the case of the change near end, a sign pole may be used to notify the store clerk of the fact that the device has become change-full, the device to read a slip, and the like.

  In the above-described embodiments and the like, it is described that the two-dimensional barcode is read by the imaging unit 21, and the one-dimensional barcode is read by the scanner unit 18, but the imaging unit 21 is replaced by the one-dimensional bar code instead of the scanner unit 18. You may read the code.
