The highlighting may be performed by changing the character size, changing the character color, changing the font, blinking, or the like. The code is displayed by converting the information item into a bar code or a two-dimensional code and displaying it. A device capable of decoding (for example, a smartphone with a camera) is required to read the coded information item, which can contribute to prevention of information leakage.

  Next, specific examples of information items and display settings will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of a specific example of information items and display settings. As shown in FIG. 7, the information items include basic items, store items, transportation items, and cash center items.

  The basic items are items regardless of the status of the collection cassette 140 (store, transportation, cash center), and include the cassette ID and date. The store item is an item related to the store, and includes a collection time, a store name, a person in charge of the store, a stored amount, a number of denominations, and a stored denomination. The types of stored money include sales and change fund. The transportation item is an item relating to transportation and includes a transportation start time, a transportation person in charge, a transportation destination, and a transportation completion time. The cash center item is an item related to the cash center and includes a person in charge of the cash center.

  Each information item defines a display mode according to the situation. In FIG. 7, the cassette ID and the date are always displayed normally. The collection time is normally displayed in the situation “store”, hidden in the situation “transporting”, and hidden in the situation “cash center”. The store name is normally displayed in all situations. The store clerk is normally displayed in the situation “store”, hidden in the situation “transporting”, and hidden in the situation “cash center”.

  The stored amount is highlighted in the situation “store”, hidden in the situation “in transit”, and normally displayed in the situation “cash center”. The number of coins by type is hidden in the situation “store”, hidden in the situation “transporting”, and normally displayed in the situation “cash center”. The type of stored money is normally displayed in the situation “store”, coded in the situation “transported”, and normally displayed in the situation “cash center”.

  The transportation start time is hidden in the situation “store”, normally displayed in the situation “transporting”, and hidden in the situation “cash center”. The person in charge of transportation is hidden in the situation “store”, normally displayed in the situation “transporting”, and hidden in the situation “cash center”. The transportation destination is normally displayed in the situation “store”, highlighted in the situation “transporting”, and hidden in the situation “cash center”. The transportation completion time is hidden in the situation “store”, hidden in the situation “transporting”, and normally displayed in the situation “cash center”. The person in charge of the cash center does not display the status "store", hides the status "transporting", and normally displays the status "cash center".

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of conditions for changing the display mode. As shown in FIG. 8, when an operation is accepted by the display operation unit 142, the operation changes the status of the collection cassette 140 to one of “store”, “in transit”, and “cash center”, and displays the operation. Change the mode. When the removal of the connector 143 is detected, it is estimated that the status is “in transit”, and the display mode is changed. Furthermore, if the detached connector 143 is attached again, it is estimated that the situation is "cash center", and the display mode is changed. Although the case where only the presence or absence of the connector is used is shown here, it is also possible to identify the destination and use it for changing the display mode. For example, in the storage unit 146 of the collection cassette, the insertion destination of the collection cassette 140 (for example, the cassette storage unit N of the currency handling apparatus with the identification code XX) is stored, and when the connector 143 is reattached, When the reattachment destination and the insertion destination match, the situation may be estimated to be “cash center” and the display mode may be changed. As another form, the display mode may be changed by estimating that the situation is "cash center" on the condition that the insertion destination that was originally attached and the reattachment destination are different.

  When the information is received from the sales deposit machine 100, the status is estimated to be "store" and the display mode is changed. Similarly, when the information is received from the terminal device of the person in charge of transportation, the status is estimated to be "in transit" and the display mode is changed. Further, when the information is received from the money handling apparatus 200, the status is estimated to be “cash center” and the display mode is changed.
