The control unit 300 is connected to a network in the financial institution via the communication interface unit 306, and can transmit and receive various signals to and from external devices such as the operation terminal 3 and the management computer 5.

  Part or all of the functions of the control unit 300 are realized by hardware or software. For example, the control unit 300 can be realized by a circuit configured on a control board provided in the money handling apparatus 1, a microcomputer that executes a recorded program, or the like. Moreover, the control part 300 may be comprised separately from the other control part in the money processing apparatus 1, and may be comprised integrally.

  In the present disclosure, the control unit 300 performs an information registration process for registering transmission information data input from the outside of the money handling apparatus 1 via, for example, the operation display unit 302 in the information cooperation database 311. This transmission information data includes at least information content (message) to be transmitted and a target person condition for specifying a target person to be transmitted. The information content here includes, for example, information such as work schedules and event occurrences, memos describing supplementary explanations, instructions and cautions for the counter, and the like. The control unit 300 identifies the transmission information data that satisfies the target person condition from among the transmission information data registered in the information linkage database 311, and that is included in the transmission information data. The determined information content is determined as output information for the operator. Then, the control unit 300 outputs the determined output information to the outside of the money handling apparatus 1. For example, the control unit 300 displays the determined output information on the operation display unit 302.

The transmission information data registered in the information cooperation database 311 includes, for example, the following data items.
1) Number 2) Registrant 3) Registration date and time 4) Information content 4-1) Text 4-2) Attached data 5) Browsing target 6) Importance 7) Display period 8) Display timing 9) Display mode 10) Display Deletion timing 11) Registration deletion timing 12) Response necessity 13) Shortcut setting

  The “number” in 1) is for uniquely identifying each piece of transmission information data. For example, serial numbers are automatically given in the order of registration. The “registrant” of 2) is for specifying the operator who registered the transmission information data. For example, a login ID read by a card reader as an example of the input unit 303 at the start of the information registration process is stored. The The “registration date / time” of 3) indicates the date / time when the transmission information data is registered, and is automatically acquired by the money handling apparatus 1.

  The “information content” of 4) is information content (message) to be transmitted and is input by the registrant. The “text” may be individually input by the registrant, or a standard format may be prepared in advance and the registrant may select and correct as appropriate. “Attached data” is image data or the like attached to the text, and is, for example, image data or the like of a defective ticket.

  The “browsing target person” of 5) indicates the target person condition for specifying the target person who should transmit the information contents, and is set by the registrant in principle. Examples of settings include setting all members, setting specific individuals (one or more) (specifying by login ID or name), setting the assigned duties (for example, a counter), and setting the system level (For example, more than chief). In other words, the attribute of the target person may be specified as the target person condition. As attributes, there are an affiliated group, gender, age, years of service, etc. in addition to the login ID, name, assigned duties, and system level. Further, for example, a process executed in the money handling apparatus 1 such as a person who executes “payment processing” or a person who executes “payment processing of bundled banknotes” may be specified as the subject condition. The process here is, for example, a deposit process or a withdrawal process. Moreover, the range of the money amount which deposits or withdraws may be added as conditions of this process. For example, the target person condition may be set such as “a person who executes“ withdrawal process of 100,000 yen or more ””.

  The “importance” in 6) is data indicating the importance of the information content, and is set by the registrant in principle. For example, the steps may be determined in advance as normal / important / most important. The “display period” in 7) is set by the registrant in principle.

  The “display timing” of 8) may be set, for example, at the time of the first login / every time of login / every time until predetermined processing is executed. Further, in combination with the time zone, for example, the first login after 15:00 may be set. The “display mode” of 9) may be set, for example, as a pop-up display, an icon display (an icon with information is displayed first, and information is displayed when the icon is pressed), and the like. The “display erasing timing” of 10) may be set, for example, as “pressing a“ confirm ”button / pressing any other operation button / determining a certain time after displaying information”.

  The “registration erasure timing” of 11) may be set such that, for example, all the target persons end browsing / specified time / erasure processing by the registrant. For example, it is only necessary to set “answer not necessary” in 12) as “no answer required / input only approval / input OK or NG /”. 13) “Shortcut setting” enables a setting to display a shortcut button for a predetermined process on the information content display screen.

  The data items 6) to 13) may be optional. A part of the data items listed here may be registered in the information linkage database 311, or data items other than the data items listed here may be registered.

The operator database 312 stores operator data having, for example, the following data items for each operator. The data items 5) and 6) are authority information related to information registration authority.
1) Login ID
2) Name 3) Responsibilities (Teller, External Affairs, etc.)
4) Employment level (part, employee, chief, office, etc.)
5) Authority to register information Yes / No 6) If “Yes” in 5), the type of information content that can be registered (all, trouble related only, non-ticket related only, etc.))

<Money processing>
When performing monetary processing such as deposit processing and withdrawal processing, for example, a card reader is made to log in by reading an ID card and operated according to the contents displayed on the operation display unit 302, whereby monetary processing is executed. At this time, information related to money processing is displayed on the operation display unit 302, and the processing result is printed as a receipt by the printing unit 304 as necessary.

<Information registration process>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation procedure of the information registration process, and FIGS. 5A and 5B are screen examples displayed on the operation display unit 302 during the information registration process. At the start of processing, the operation display unit 302 displays a standby screen that displays, for example, the amount of money (S101). The operator inputs his / her operator information via the input unit 303 and logs in (S102). For example, the user's ID card is read by a card reader. The control unit 300 displays a menu screen on the operation display unit 302 (S103).

  At this time, if the logged-in operator is set as “information registration authority” in the operator database 302, the control unit 300 displays a menu screen as shown in FIG. 5A on the operation display unit 302. indicate. In the menu screen of FIG. 5A, an “information linkage registration” icon A1 is displayed. When this icon A1 is pressed, a transition is made to an information registration screen for inputting transmission information data as shown in FIG. 5B. To do. On the other hand, if the logged-in operator is set to “no authority to register information” in the operator database 302, the “information linkage registration” icon A1 is not displayed on the menu screen, and the information registration process is performed. I can't. That is, the control unit 300 displays the information registration screen when the operator of the money handling apparatus 1 has the authority to register information, and does not display the information registration screen when the operator does not have the authority to register information.

  Now, it is assumed that the logged-in operator is set as “authorization of information registration” in the operator database 302 and a menu screen as shown in FIG. 5A is displayed on the operation display unit 302. The operator selects a menu on the menu screen (S104). Here, when the “information linkage registration” icon A1 is pressed (YES in S105), a transition is made to an information registration screen as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when another icon is pressed (NO in S105), the process proceeds to each process (S109).

  When a transition is made to the information registration screen as shown in FIG. 5B, the operator executes an information registration process (S106). The operator inputs a viewing target person and information contents as essential items. In the example of FIG. 5B, “browsing trouble occurrence request” is input as information subject to browsing: all persons. In addition, in the information registration screen of FIG. 5B, in addition to the information content and the person to be browsed, the display timing, the importance level, the display erasure timing, the necessity of answer, and the display period can be input. In the example of FIG. 5B, display timing: first time login, importance: important, display erasure timing: confirmation button pressed, answer necessity: none, display period: 2016/09/15 to 2016/09/30, Is entered. In the information registration screen, options may be displayed in a pull-down manner for each item.

  The operator repeatedly executes the information registration process for each piece of information desired to be registered. When the information registration process is completed for all information (NO in S107), the process is ended (YES in S108).

  In the information registration screen, a standard format may be called when inputting information contents. The registrant may modify the fixed format as necessary. In addition, when the registrant selects a predetermined fixed format, a browsing target person corresponding to the fixed format may be automatically set. The registrant may confirm the automatically set viewing target person and correct it if necessary. When the registrant selects a predetermined fixed format, condition data such as importance and display timing corresponding to the fixed format may be automatically set. The registrant may check the automatically set condition data and correct it if necessary.

  Further, as a method for inputting the transmission information data, in addition to the method performed via the operation display unit 302, voice input, input via a storage medium such as a USB memory, input via communication, or the like may be used.

<Information browsing process>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the information browsing process, and FIGS. 7A and 7B are screen examples displayed on the operation display unit 302 during the information browsing process. Here, the control part 300 shall have a pop-up display and an icon display as a display mode of output information. The pop-up display as an example of the first display mode displays the specified output information itself as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7B, the icon display as an example of the second display mode displays an icon indicating the presence of output information (“communication information” icon B1 in FIG. 7B). In response to such an operation, the specified output information itself is displayed. The control unit 300 selects either pop-up display or icon display, and displays output information.

  In FIG. 6, at the start of the process, the operation display unit 302 displays a standby screen that displays, for example, the amount of money (S201). When an operator performs processing such as input processing on the money handling apparatus 1, the operator inputs his / her operator information via the input unit 303 and logs in (S202). For example, the user's ID card is read by a card reader.

  The control unit 300 refers to the information linkage database 311 and checks whether or not transmission information data satisfying the target person condition is registered for the logged-in operator (S203). Here, when there is transmission information data in the information cooperation database 311 in which the logged-in operator has the attribute of the target person specified as “view target person” in the information linkage database 311 (NO in S204), The information content included in the transmission information data is determined as output information for the logged-in operator, and is displayed on the operation display unit 302 (S205 to S211). Thereby, the information content registered for transmitting to the operator having a predetermined attribute by the registrant can be reliably transmitted to the operator to be transmitted.

  Here, the control unit 300 switches the display mode depending on whether or not the information content is important. Specifically, for example, when the importance data of the transmission information data is “important” or “most important” (YES in S205), a pop-up display as shown in FIG. 7A is performed (S206). When the display erasure condition is satisfied (YES in S207), the pop-up display is erased (S208). For example, when the “Confirm” button is pressed on the screen of FIG. 7A, the pop-up display is deleted. On the other hand, when the importance data of the transmission information data is “normal” (NO in S205), an icon display as shown in FIG. 7B is performed (S210). In FIG. 7B, a “transmission information” icon B1 is displayed on the menu screen. When the “transmission information” icon B1 is pressed, the process is interrupted (YES in S211), and the information content is popped up. Such processing is performed for each piece of transmission information data that satisfies the target person condition by the logged-in operator (S209).

  Thereafter, the logged-in operator selects a menu of a process to be executed from the menu screen displayed on the operation display unit 302 (S212), and executes the process (S214). When all the processes to be executed are finished, the process is finished (S215).

  If the “transmission information” icon B1 is displayed in S210 and another process is executed without pressing the icon, the “transmission information” icon B1 remains displayed on the new processing screen. When the “transmission information” icon B1 is pressed, the process is interrupted, and the registered information content is displayed in a pop-up.

  In addition, when there is transmission information data in the information linkage database 311 in which the logged-in operator executes processing specified as “viewing person”, the control unit 300 includes the transmission information data. The information content may be determined as output information for the logged-in operator and displayed on the operation display unit 302. Thereby, the information content registered for transmitting to the operator who performs a predetermined process by the registrant can be reliably transmitted to the operator who should transmit. The display of the output information at this time may be performed immediately before the operator executes the process.

  Further, as shown in the data item 8) of the information linkage database 311, transmission information data including condition data whose “display timing” is “when the predetermined process is executed” is registered, and the logged-in operator When the transmitted information data corresponds to the “viewing person”, the control unit 300 displays the information content included in the transmitted information data on the operation display unit 302 when the logged-in operator executes the predetermined process. Show it. Thereby, information can be transmitted to an operator at the timing of executing a predetermined process in the money handling apparatus 1. For example, information regarding the withdrawal trouble can be transmitted to the operator at the timing of executing the withdrawal process.

  By the way, the information browsing process described above is not necessarily limited to an operator who logs in to the money handling apparatus for the purpose of the information browsing process. Rather, when logging in to perform other processing (money processing such as deposit processing, withdrawal processing, etc.), it is often viewed when there is information addressed to itself. As a result, necessary information can be transmitted to an operator who is not conscious of the information browsing process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the money handling apparatus 1 stores the information cooperation database 311 in the storage unit 310, and the information content to be transmitted and the information content should be transmitted to the information cooperation database 311. Transmission information data including a target person condition for specifying a target person is registered. The control unit 300 specifies transmission information data satisfying the target person condition from the information linkage database 311 by the operator of the money handling apparatus 1, and outputs the information content included in the transmission information data to the output information for the operator. Determine as. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately transmit information to be transmitted to the person who operates the money handling apparatus 1.

<Other examples of transmission information>
Although the example which transmits the information regarding an apparatus trouble was shown in the above embodiment, the information transmitted via the money handling apparatus 1 is not restricted to this. For example, the following information may be transmitted.
a) Sample sentence “Today is the current delivery date. We will prepare at 4 pm.
Used for business day-by-day business communication (for example, current delivery, current receipt, etc.). The person to be browsed is a banker who is involved in the accounting business, that is, a cashier and a counter.
b) Sample sentence “Today is the day of all scrutiny. We will prepare at 4 pm, so please complete the cashier work by that time.”
This is used for sudden business communication (for example, all scrutiny dates) in the accounting business. The person to be viewed is a banker associated with the money handling apparatus 1, that is, a cashier, a counter clerk, and a foreign affairs clerk.
c) Example sentence “This lossy ticket is difficult to check because the serial number is blurred.”
It is used for information linkage at the time of approval work in cashier work. For example, although not shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the money handling apparatus 1 includes a non-performing bill processing machine. When a deposit reject (loss) occurs in the banknote handling machine 10, the operator inserts the banknote into the banknote handling machine and manually inputs the amount of the banknote into the banknote handling machine in the deposit process. This process requires an approval work by an approver later. Therefore, the operator who has input the slip book registers the transmission information as shown in the above sentence for the approver. At this time, as attached data of the information content, image data of a slip obtained by the slip processor at the time of deposit processing may be attached. The browsing target person is an authorized person related to the accounting work, for example, the office.
d) In addition, in the case where a jam occurs in the money handling apparatus 1, it may be transmitted to other clerk that there is a possibility of a shortage of banknotes, or a message prompting all clerks to change the password is transmitted. May be.

<Other processing>
(Part 1)
In the above embodiment, the pop-up display and the icon display are selected based on the importance of the information content. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in the data item 9) of the information linkage database 311, when “display mode” is set in the transmission information data, pop-up display or icon display is selected according to the setting of “display mode”. That's fine.

  Moreover, you may switch a display mode about the same information content according to a subject. For example, in the “browsing target person” of the transmission information data, the attribute of the target person who should transmit the information content is set, and the classification of the target person is defined according to the degree of association with the information content. And the control part 300 should just select pop-up display or icon display based on the division to which the operator of the money handling apparatus 1 belongs. Specifically, for example, in the “browsing target person” of the communication information data related to withdrawal troubles, the target person is all, and the classification of the target person is “teller” (high relevance) “other” (low relevance). Stipulate. Then, when displaying information related to the withdrawal trouble, the control unit 300 may perform a pop-up display for the cashier who performs the withdrawal process almost certainly, and an icon display for other persons. Furthermore, it is possible for other people to control pop-up display when executing the withdrawal process.

(Part 2)
As in c) of <Other example of transmission information> above, there is a case where it is desired to register information while the money processing apparatus 1 is executing a predetermined process. In such a case, in order to improve convenience, a shortcut button to an information registration screen for inputting transmission information data may be displayed on the processing screen. For example, in the case of c) of <another example of transmission information>, the control unit 300 may display a shortcut button to the information registration screen on the screen for the input processing of the slip.

(Part 3)
In the information linkage database 311, there may be a case where a plurality of pieces of transmission information data satisfying the target person condition by the operator are registered.

For example, the control unit 300 may limit the fixed template of information contents that can be called on the information registration screen according to the data item 6) of the operator database 312.

  Here, it is assumed that there are a cashier (chief, person in charge), a cashier (employee, part), a foreign affairs officer, and a position as bank employees. For example, any information can be registered for the executive seats, and the cashier can register only information related to cashier work. Employees of the counter can register only information related to non-payment tickets and cannot register information for the part of the counter. In addition, for example, information registration in the above-described slip ticket input process may be performed only by a cashier and a counter employee. The control unit 300 may display a shortcut button to the information registration screen on the screen of the operation display unit 302 in the input process of the slip ticket only when the cashier and the counter are logged into the money handling apparatus 1. Good.

  Further, a specific person may be able to browse information even if the person is not designated as a viewing target person. For example, the chief of the executive office and the cashier will be able to view all registered information. For example, when the chief of the officer's seat and the cashier logs in the money handling apparatus 1, the control unit 300 operates a list of all transmission information in which the logged-in person distinguishes information satisfying the target person from other information. It may be displayed on the display portion 302.

(Part 5)
When an operator browses information, a process to be executed based on the information may be directly executed from the browsing screen. For example, as shown in the data item 13) of the information linkage database 311, when “shortcut setting” is set for the transmission information data, the control unit 300 performs a predetermined display on the information content display screen according to this “shortcut setting”. Display a shortcut button to the process. For example, when displaying a message about trouble occurrence, display a shortcut button to the trouble handling manual, or display a shortcut button to the password change screen when displaying a message requesting a password change. .

(Part 6)
The registrant of the transmission information may be able to confirm the browsing status of the registered transmission information. That is, the control unit 300 takes a log of the browsing status of the transmission information registered in the cooperation information database 311 and stores it in the storage unit 310. The registrant can check the browsing status by logging into the money handling apparatus 1 and accessing this log. Further, the control unit 300 may create a list of unviewed users from this log and display it on the operation display unit 302 or output it from the printing unit 304. Further, as shown in the data item 12) of the cooperation information database 311, the control unit 300 displays the result of totaling the responses on the transmission information data set as “response required” on the operation display unit 302. It may be output from the printing unit 304.

  Control part 300 may notify the registrant of the transmission information data when all the inspection subject finishes browsing. As this notification method, for example, when the registrant logs in to the money handling apparatus 1 next time, it may be displayed on the operation display unit 302, or a personal device (personal computer, tablet terminal, Etc.).

(Part 7)
In the information browsing process, the information content displayed on the screen may be output from the printing unit 304.

(Part 8)
In the information registration process, the registrant may register information addressed to him / herself. For example, it may be displayed when a predetermined process is executed, and is displayed when a predetermined process is executed. Thereby, the information registration function can be used as a memorandum.
