Further, the RAM 12c is used as a so-called work area for storing data temporarily used by the CPU 12a for performing various processes.
The auxiliary storage unit 12d corresponds to the auxiliary storage portion of the computer described above. The auxiliary storage unit 12d stores data used by the CPU 12a to perform various processes or data generated by the processes in the CPU 12a. As the auxiliary storage unit 12d, for example, an EEPROM (electric erasable programmable read-only memory), an HDD (hard disk drive), an SSD (solid state drive), or the like can be used.

The application program stored in the ROM 12b or the auxiliary storage unit 12d includes a control program described with respect to control processing for controlling each unit in order to realize various operations as the payment device 12. The transfer of the payment device 12 is generally performed in a state where the control program is stored in the ROM 12b or the auxiliary storage unit 12d. However, the settlement device 12 may be transferred in a state where the control program is not stored in the ROM 12b or the auxiliary storage unit 12d, and the separately transferred control program may be written in the auxiliary storage unit 12d. However, in this case, when the payment device 12 is transferred, another version of the control program may be stored in the ROM 12b or the auxiliary storage unit 12d, and the control program is rewritten by the separately transferred control program. You may. The control program can be transferred by recording it on a removable recording medium such as a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, an optical disk, or a semiconductor memory, or by communicating via a network.

The card reader / writer 12h may be any of magnetic, contact, or non-contact devices, and may include a plurality of types of devices.
The patrol lamp 12i is a lamp for notifying the employee 21 of the operating state of the payment device 12.

The Climbing Gold Drawer 12j accommodates a Climbing Gold that is made by bundling a large number of coins in a rod shape. In the closed state, the Climbing Drawer 12j is in a locked state so that it will not be easily opened even if a force is applied. Upon receiving the release command sent from the CPU 12a, the coin-roll drawer 12j releases the above lock and is in the open state. The Climbing Gold Drawer 12j can take out the contained Climbing Gold from the outside in the open state. The coin-roll drawer 12j may be provided in all the payment devices 12, or may be provided only in some payment devices 12.

The automatic change machine 12k includes a storage 121, a deposit mechanism 122, a withdrawal mechanism 123, and a control unit 124. The storage 121 stores coins and banknotes by denomination. The deposit mechanism 122 sends the inserted coins and banknotes to the storage according to the denomination. The withdrawal mechanism 123 discharges coins and banknotes stored in the storage to the outside of the automatic change machine 12k. The coins and banknotes discharged from the automatic change machine 12k are discharged to the outside of the payment device 12. The control unit 124 controls the operations of the deposit mechanism 122 and the withdrawal mechanism 123. Then, the control unit 124 manages the number of coins and banknotes stored in the storage 121 by denomination. The broken line with an arrow in FIG. 2 indicates the flow of coins and banknotes.

The communication unit 12m communicates via LAN 13.
The transmission system 12n is exchanged between the CPU 12a, ROM 12b, RAM 12c, auxiliary storage unit 12d, scanner 12e, touch panel 12f, printer 12g, card reader / writer 12h, patrol lamp 12i, coin-roll drawer 12j, automatic change machine 12k, and communication unit 12m. The data to be transmitted is transmitted. As the transmission system 12n, a well-known one including various buses such as a system bus and various interface circuits connecting these buses and each unit can be used.
As the hardware of the payment device 12, for example, an existing self-POS terminal can be used.

Next, the operation of the checkout system 10 configured as described above will be described.
The content of the process described below is an example, and various processes capable of obtaining similar results can be appropriately used.

In the checkout system 10, the operations related to checkout are performed in the same manner as the existing semi-self checkout system. That is, the product registration device 11 performs purchase registration and generation of payment information. The payment information is sent from the product registration device 11 to the LAN 13, and is accepted by one payment device 12. Then, the payment device 12 that has received the payment information performs the payment processing based on the payment information. The payment information sent from one product registration device 11 may be accepted by only a part of the plurality of payment devices 12, or may be accepted by all of the plurality of payment devices 12. You may be able to do it. As an example, the payment information sent from the upper product registration device 11 in FIG. 1 is accepted by either of the two upper payment devices 12 in FIG. Further, the payment information sent from the lower product registration device 11 in FIG. 1 is accepted by either of the two lower payment devices 12 in FIG.

When the settlement by the settlement process is performed by cash, the coins and banknotes inserted for payment are deposited in the storage 121 by the deposit mechanism 122. When change occurs, the coins and banknotes stored in the storage 121 are paid out as change by the withdrawal mechanism 123. At this time, the amount of coins and banknotes stored in the storage 121 fluctuates. The control unit 124 sets the current number of stored sheets to gold by, for example, adding the number of deposits for each denomination to the number of stored sheets for each denomination or subtracting the number of payouts for each denomination from the number of stored sheets for each denomination. Manage by species. The control unit 124 may manage the current number of stored sheets by using an arbitrary sensor such as a weight sensor. Thus, the control unit 124 has a function as a determination means for determining the number of stored sheets stored in the storage box 121 for each denomination. However, the CPU 12a may manage the current number of stored sheets by performing the processing performed by the control unit 124 in the CPU 12a. In this case, the CPU 12a is provided with the function as the above-mentioned determination means.

After the money is stored or paid out by the automatic change machine 12k in this way, the CPU 12a executes the control process described below according to the control program stored in the ROM 12b or the auxiliary storage unit 12d.
Prior to the description of the control process, a data table prepared in advance for use in this control process and stored in the ROM 12b or the auxiliary storage unit 12d will be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the description contents of the data table T1.
The data table T1 describes the reference number, the upper threshold value, and the lower threshold value, respectively, in association with the denomination number.

The denomination number is a number assigned to each of the denominations of coins and banknotes stored in the storage 121. In the example of FIG. 3, "1" to "1" to "1" to "1" to "1" to "1" to "1" It is assumed that the number "9" is assigned.
The reference number of sheets is a numerical value representing the reference number of sheets to be stored in the storage 121. Here, the reference number of sheets corresponding to each of the denomination numbers "1" to "9" is represented as SN (1) to SN (9).

The upper threshold value is a threshold value for determining that the storage 121 is nearly full, that is, a so-called near full state. Here, the upper thresholds corresponding to each of the denomination numbers "1" to "9" are represented as THhigh (1) to THhigh (9).
The lower threshold value is a threshold value for determining that the storage 121 is in a state close to empty, that is, a so-called near empty state. Here, the lower thresholds corresponding to each of the denomination numbers "1" to "9" are represented as THlow (1) to THlow (9).

The three values corresponding to one denomination number have a relationship of THlow (X) <SN (X) <THhigh (X) when the denomination number is represented by "X". Further, the upper threshold value is smaller than the number of sheets that can be stored in the storage box 121 of the corresponding denomination. The reference number of sheets, the upper threshold value, and the lower threshold value are arbitrarily determined by, for example, the designer of the payment device 12 or the creator of the control program. The reference number of sheets, the upper threshold value and the lower threshold value may be arbitrarily determined by, for example, the administrator of the payment device 12.

4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are flowcharts of control processing by the CPU 12a.
In Act1, the CPU 12a sets the value of the variable M to "1". The value of the variable M represents the denomination number of interest. In the following, the denomination whose denomination number is "M" will be referred to as "Mth denomination".
In Act2, the CPU 12a acquires the current number of stored sheets for the Mth denomination from the automatic change machine 12k and assigns it to the variable N. That is, the value of the variable N represents the current number of stored sheets for the Mth denomination.

In Act3, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the variable N is less than the lower threshold THlow (M). Then, if the CPU 12a determines Yes because the relationship is established, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act4.
In Act 4, the CPU 12a sets the Mth denomination as the replenishment target. That is, if the current number of stored sheets is reduced to less than the lower threshold value THlow (M), the CPU 12a sets the Mth denomination as the denomination that needs to be replenished.
In Act5, the CPU 12a determines the number of sheets AN (M) to be replenished for the Mth denomination. The CPU 12a determines, for example, the replenishment number AN (M) as a value obtained by subtracting the value of the variable N from the reference number SN (M). In this case, the replenishment number AN (M) is determined as the number of sheets to be replenished in order to set the number of stored sheets for the Mth denomination as the reference number SN (M). Alternatively, the CPU 12a determines as the replenishment number AN (M) a value obtained by subtracting the lower threshold value THlow (M) from the reference number SN (M) or a predetermined constant value close to the value. In this case, when the value of the variable N is determined to be Yes in Act3, the value of the variable N is often close to the lower threshold value THlow (M). Therefore, the replenishment number AN (M) is the variable N from the reference number SN (M). It is likely to be determined as a value close to the value obtained by subtracting the value of. However, the specific value of the replenishment number AN (M) may be arbitrarily determined by the creator of the control program or the like.

On the other hand, if the value of the variable N is equal to or higher than the lower threshold value THlow (M), the CPU 12a determines No in Act3 and proceeds to Act6.
In Act6, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the variable N is equal to or higher than the upper threshold value THhigh (M). Then, if the CPU 12a determines Yes because the relationship is established, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act7.
In Act7, the CPU 12a sets the Mth denomination as the collection target. That is, the CPU 12a sets the Mth denomination as the denomination that needs to be collected if the current number of stored sheets has increased to the upper threshold value THhigh (M) or more.
In Act8, the CPU 12a determines the number of sheets CN (M) to be collected for the Mth denomination. The CPU 12a determines, for example, the number of collected sheets CN (M) as a value obtained by subtracting the reference number of sheets SN (M) from the value of the variable N. In this case, the number of collected sheets CN (M) is determined as the number of sheets to be collected in order to set the number of stored sheets for the Mth denomination as the reference number SN (M). Alternatively, the CPU 12a determines the number of collected sheets CN (M) as a value obtained by subtracting the upper threshold value THhigh (M) from the reference number of sheets SN (M) or a predetermined constant value close to the value. In this case, when the value of the variable N is determined to be Yes in Act6, the value of the variable N is often close to the upper threshold value THhigh (M). Therefore, the number of collected sheets CN (M) is the reference number of sheets SN (M) from the value of the variable N. It is likely to be determined as a value close to the value obtained by subtracting M). However, the specific value of the collected number CN (M) may be arbitrarily determined by the creator of the control program or the like.

As will be described later, the coins or coins of the replenishment number AN (M) or the collection number CN (M) determined here are not always replenished or collected, and the replenishment number AN (M) or the replenishment number determined here. The number of collected coins CN (M) does not represent the number of coins actually replenished or collected. So to speak, the replenishment number AN (M) or the collection number CN (M) determined here is the recommended number to be replenished or collected. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion functions as a determination means for determining the recommended number of sheets to be replenished or collected for each denomination.

The CPU 12a proceeds to Act 9 when it finishes Act 5 or Act 8, or when it determines No in Act 6 because the variable N is less than the upper threshold TH high (M).
In Act9, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the value of the variable M is equal to or greater than the maximum value Mmax of the denomination number. Then, if the CPU 12a determines No because the value of the variable M is less than the maximum value Mmax, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act10. When the data table T1 shown in FIG. 3 is set, the maximum value Mmax is “9”.
In Act10, the CPU 12a increments the value of the variable M by one. Then, the CPU 12a repeats the processing after Act2 after that. Thus, the CPU 12a executes the processes of Act2 to Act8 for all denominations. Then, when the processing is completed for all denominations, the value of the variable M is the maximum value Mmax. Therefore, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act9, and proceeds to Act12.

In Act 11, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not there is at least one denomination set as a replenishment target or a collection target. Then, if all the denominations are not set as the replenishment target or the collection target, the CPU 12a determines No and ends the control process.
However, if any one of the denominations is set as a replenishment target or a collection target, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act 11 and proceeds to Act 12.

In Act 12, the CPU 12a starts an alarm operation for notifying the surrounding employees 21 that the state is near empty or near full. This alarm operation is, for example, lighting of the patrol lamp 12i. The alarm operation may be an output of an alarm sound by a sounding unit (not shown). Further, a plurality of operations may be performed as alarm operations. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the function as a reporting means is realized by the cooperation between the computer having the CPU 12a as the central part and the device such as the patrol lamp 12i.
In Act 13, the CPU 12a waits for an operation by an employee 21 having administrator authority (hereinafter, referred to as an administrator operation) to be started. The CPU 12a determines Yes in Act13 when a predetermined operation such as an unlocking operation using a physical key or an electronic unlocking operation by inputting a password is correctly performed, and Act14 Proceed to.
In Act 14, the CPU 12a causes the touch panel 12f to display a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not to start replenishment or collection.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the confirmation screen SC1.
The confirmation screen SC1 represents the character message M11 and the buttons B11 and B12.
The text message M11 is a textual representation of a message prompting the employee 21 to replenish or collect and to instruct the employee 21 whether or not to start it. Button B11 should be pressed by employee 21 when initiating replenishment or collection. Button B12 should be pressed by the employee 21 when initiating a process other than replenishment or collection.

The CPU 12a proceeds to Act 21 of FIG. 5 with the confirmation screen SC1 displayed on the touch panel 12f.
In Act21, the CPU 12a waits for some operation to be performed. Then, if the operation is performed, it is determined as Yes, and the process proceeds to Act22.
In Act 22, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the operation performed above is a touch to the button B11. Then, if an operation other than touching the button B11 is performed, the CPU 12a determines No and shifts to the process according to the operation. Since the processing in this case is not a characteristic processing in the present embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. On the other hand, if the button B11 is touched, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act 22 and proceeds to Act 23. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion functions as an input means for inputting a start instruction in response to the operation of the button B11 by the operator.

In Act23, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the coin-roll drawer is registered. Here, in the payment device 12, as one of the operating conditions, it is possible to register whether or not to use the coin-roll drawer and the coin-roll drawer to be used. Specifically, for example, the CPU 12a accepts the designation of whether or not to use the coin-roll drawer in the setting process (not shown), and when the coin-roll drawer is used, the designation of which coin-roll drawer to use is specified. Further accept. Then, when the coin-roll drawer to be used is specified, the CPU 12a registers the coin-roll drawer by writing the identification code of the payment device 12 equipped with the coin-roll drawer into the auxiliary storage unit 12d. The designation of whether or not to use the coin-roll drawer and the designation of which coin-roll drawer to use may be arbitrarily performed by, for example, the administrator of the payment device 12. In the payment device 12 provided with the coin-roll drawer 12j, the coin-roll drawer 12j is used, and in the payment device 12 without the coin-roll drawer 12j, the coin-roll drawer 12 provided in another payment device 12 is used. It is assumed that 12j will be used. In this case, in the payment device 12 including the coin-roll drawer 12j, the identification code of the payment device 12 is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 12d as information for identifying the coin-roll drawer to be used. Further, in the payment device 12 not provided with the coin-roll drawer 12j, the identification code of another payment device 12 is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 12d as information for identifying the coin-roll drawer to be used. If the identification code of any of the payment devices 12 is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 12d as information for identifying the coin-roll drawer to be used, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act 23 and proceeds to Act 24.
In Act24, the CPU 12a causes the first guidance screen to be displayed on the touch panel 12f.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the first guide screen SC2.
The first guidance screen SC2 includes lists L1 and L2, buttons B21, B22, B23, and B24.
List L1 shows the number of denominations set as replenishment targets currently stored in the storage 121, the number of replenishment determined by Act5 for the denomination, and the coins to be prepared to replenish the replenishment number. It represents the number of. List L2 shows the number of denominations set as the collection target, the number of denominations stored in the storage 121 at the present time, and the number of denominations to be collected determined by Act8.
Button B21 is a button for the employee 21 to touch when trying to remove the coin-roll from the coin-roll drawer. The button B22 is a button for the employee 21 to touch when trying to collect the surplus money stored in the storage 121. The button B23 is a button for the employee 21 to touch when he / she wants to change the number of coins to be paid out when the button B21 is pressed. Button B24 is a button for the employee 21 to touch when he / she wants to cancel the replenishment / collection of money.

On the other hand, if the identification code of any of the payment devices 12 is not stored in the auxiliary storage unit 12d as the information for identifying the coin-roll drawer to be used, the CPU 12a determines No in Act23 and proceeds to Act25. ..
In Act 25, the CPU 12a causes the touch panel 12f to display the second guidance screen.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the second guide screen SC3.
The second guidance screen SC3 includes lists L1, L2, B22, B23, and B24.
That is, the second guidance screen SC3 is a screen in which the button B21 is omitted from the first guidance screen SC2. However, the second guidance screen SC3 may be included in a state in which the button B21 is disabled as a grayout display or the like.

As described above, the first guidance screen SC2 or the second guidance screen SC3 lists the replenishment number AN (M) and the collection number CH (M), which are the recommended number for each denomination to be replenished or collected, in the list L1, This is to notify the employee 21 who is the operator of the payment device 12 as L2. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion functions as a notification means for notifying the operator of the recommended number of sheets for each denomination.

The CPU 12a proceeds to Act26 in a state where the first guidance screen SC2 or the second guidance screen SC3 is displayed by the touch panel 12f.
In Act 26, the CPU 12a activates the deposit mechanism 122. As a result, the deposit mechanism 122 is activated, and the deposit for replenishment is possible. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion functions as an activation means for activating the deposit mechanism. A shutter may be provided at the insertion slot for inserting coins or banknotes into the deposit mechanism 122, and the deposit mechanism 122 may be activated by opening the shutter.

After that, when the employee 21 inserts coins or banknotes into the automatic change machine 12k for replenishment, the coins or banknotes are stored in the storage 121 by the deposit mechanism 122. At this time, if the number of coins or banknotes inserted by the employee 21 is the same as the number of coins or banknotes inserted as the "replenishment number" in the list L1 displayed on the first guidance screen SC2 or the second guidance screen SC3, The number of stored sheets in the storage box 121 after replenishment can be the same as the standard number of sheets. However, it is not essential that the number of stored sheets after replenishment matches the reference number of sheets, and the employee 21 may arbitrarily determine the number of sheets to be input.

In Act 27, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not any operation has been performed by the employee 21. Then, the CPU 12a determines No if no operation is performed, and proceeds to Act 28.
In Act 28, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the payment has been made to the automatic change machine 12k. Then, the CPU 12a determines No if the payment has not been made, and returns to Act27.
Thus, the CPU 12a waits for an operation or a deposit to be performed in the Act 27 and the Act 28. Then, if any operation is performed by the employee 21, it is determined as Yes by Act27, and the process proceeds to Act29.

In Act29, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the operation performed above is a touch to the button B21. Then, the CPU 12a determines Yes if the button B21 is touched, and proceeds to Act 41 in FIG. When the number of replenished sheets AN (1) to AN (Nmax) is "0", the CPU 12a may not determine Yes in Act29.

In Act 41, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the registered coin-roll drawer is mounted on another payment device 12. Then, the CPU 12a determines No if the identification code of the payment device 12 mounted on the CPU 12a is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 12d as information for identifying the coin-roll drawer to be used, and proceeds to Act42. move on.
In Act 42, the CPU 12a instructs the coin-roll drawer 12j to open. In response to this instruction, the coin-roll drawer 12j is opened and allows the employee 21 to take out the stored coin-roll. As a result, the employee 21 can obtain coins to be replenished in the storage 121 from the coin-roll drawer 12j. Thus, the coin-roll drawer 12j is a safe for storing coins to be replenished in the storage 121. Further, when the CPU 12a executes a control process based on the control program, the computer having the CPU 12a as a central portion functions as an unlocking means for unlocking the safe.

On the other hand, if the identification code of another payment device 12 is stored in the auxiliary storage unit 12d as information for identifying the coin-roll drawer to be used, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act41 and proceeds to Act43. move on.
In Act43, the CPU 12a controls the printer 12g to issue a take-out slip.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the withdrawal slip SH1.
Specifically, the CPU 12a issues an take-out slip SH1 by generating an image as shown in FIG. 11 and feeding the image to the printer 12g to print on the receipt paper.

The withdrawal slip SH1 includes indications I1 and I2, a list L1 and a barcode C1.
The display I1 represents a device number for the employee 21 to identify the payment device 12 to be replenished with the coin-rolls taken out based on the withdrawal slip SH1. Display I2 represents a device number for the employee 21 to identify the payment device 12 on which the coin-roll drawer 12j to be taken out based on the withdrawal slip SH1 is mounted. The list L1 is the same list included in the first guidance screen SC2 or the second guidance screen SC3. The barcode C1 is predetermined control information for instructing the payment device 12 identified by the device number represented on the display I2 to open the coin-roll drawer 12j mounted on the payment device 12. including. That is, the payment device 12 outputs the control information by issuing the withdrawal slip SH1. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the function as the output means is realized by the cooperation between the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion and the printer 12g.

The employee 21 causes the scanner 12e of the payment device 12 identified by the device number shown on the display I2 to read the barcode C1 included in the issued withdrawal slip SH1. Then, the CPU 12a of the payment device 12 opens the coin-roll drawer 12j according to the control information indicated by the barcode C1. As a result, the employee 21 can obtain coins to be replenished in the storage 121 of one payment device 12 from the coin-roll drawer 12j provided in another payment device 12.
When the touch panel 12f displays the second guidance screen SC3, the button B21 is not touched, and Act42 or Act43 in FIG. 6 is not performed.
When the CPU 12a finishes Act 42 or Act 43, it returns to Act 27 in FIG.

If the operation that triggered the determination of Yes in Act27 in FIG. 5 is not the touch to the button B21, the CPU 12a determines No in Act29 and proceeds to Act30.
In Act 30, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the operation that triggered the determination of Yes in Act 27 in FIG. 5 was the touch to the button B23. Then, the CPU 12a determines Yes if the button B23 is touched, and proceeds to Act31.
In Act 31, the CPU 12a changes the number of collected sheets set in Act 8 in FIG. 4 according to the operation by the employee 21 on the touch panel 12f or the like. The CPU 12a may set the number of collected sheets not set in Act 8 to "0" and change the value. Then, the CPU 12a returns to Act27 after this.

If the operation that triggered the determination of Yes in Act27 is not the touch to the button B23, the CPU 12a determines No in Act30 and proceeds to Act32.
In Act 32, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the operation that triggered the determination of Yes in Act 27 was the touch to the button B22. Then, the CPU 12a determines No if the button B22 is not touched, and shifts to another process according to the operation. Since the processing in this case is not a characteristic processing in the present embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. On the other hand, if the button B22 is touched, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act 32 and proceeds to Act 33.

In Act33, the CPU 12a instructs the automatic change machine 12k to pay out CN (1) to CN (Nmax) coins and banknotes for each denomination. Upon receiving this instruction, in the automatic change machine 12k, the withdrawal mechanism 123 pays out coins and banknotes from the storage 121 under the control of the control unit 124. That is, when the button B22 is touched without the button B23 being touched even once, the CPU 12a determines the collected number CN (M) determined by Act8 as the number of sheets to be withdrawn by the withdrawal mechanism 123 as it is. .. Further, when the Act 31 is executed in response to the touch of the button B23, the CPU 12a determines the number of collected sheets CN (M) after the change in the Act 31 as the number of sheets to be withdrawn by the withdrawal mechanism 123. By executing the control process based on the control program in this way, the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion functions as a setting means for setting the number of withdrawals for each denomination according to the operation by the operator. Further, by executing the control process based on the control program by the CPU 12a, the computer having the CPU 12a as the central portion functions as a control means for controlling the withdrawal mechanism 123 so as to withdraw the above-mentioned number of withdrawals from the storage 121. To do.

After this, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act51 in FIG. If the CPU 12a is in the standby state of Act 27 and Act 28 and the payment is made by the deposit mechanism 122, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act 28 and proceeds to Act 51 in FIG.

In Act51, the CPU 12a sets the value of the variable M to "1".
In Act 52, the CPU 12a acquires the current number of stored sheets for the Mth denomination from the automatic change machine 12k and assigns it to the variable N.

In Act53, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the variable N is less than the lower threshold THlow (M). The CPU 12a may use another threshold value predetermined as a value larger than the lower threshold value THlow (M) for the confirmation here. Then, if the CPU 12a determines No because the relationship is not established, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act 54.
In Act54, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the variable N is equal to or higher than the upper threshold value THhigh (M). The CPU 12a may use another threshold value predetermined as a value smaller than the upper threshold value THhigh (M) for the confirmation here. Then, if the CPU 12a determines No because the relationship is not established, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act55.
In Act55, the CPU 12a confirms whether or not the value of the variable M is equal to or greater than the maximum value Mmax of the denomination number. Then, if the CPU 12a determines No because the value of the variable M is less than the maximum value Mmax, the CPU 12a proceeds to Act56.
In Act56, the CPU 12a increments the value of the variable M by one. After that, the CPU 12a repeats the processing after Act52.
Thus, for all denominations, the CPU 12a moves to Act55 only when the number of sheets stored in the storage 121 is within the range of the lower threshold value or more and less than the upper threshold value set for the denomination. The value of the variable M at the time of advance becomes the maximum value Mmax or more. Then, in this case, the CPU 12a determines Yes in Act55 and proceeds to Act57.

In Act57, the CPU 12a stops the alarm operation. The CPU 12a may start a plurality of types of alarm operations in Act 12, stop some alarm operations on the way to Act 57, and stop continuous alarm operations in Act 57. Specifically, in Act12, the CPU 12a starts, for example, blinking of the patrol lamp 12i and sounding of an alarm sound as an alarm operation. The CPU 12a stops the sounding of the alarm sound in response to the determination of Yes in Act13. Then, the CPU 12a stops the blinking of the patrol lamp 12i in the Act 57. When the CPU 12a finishes stopping the alarm operation at Act57, the CPU 12a ends the control process shown in FIGS. 4 to 7.

If the number of sheets stored in the storage 121 is outside the range of the lower threshold value or more and less than the upper threshold value set for the denomination, the CPU 12a may be the Act53 or It is determined as Yes by Act54. Then, in this case, the CPU 12a re-executes the above-mentioned process from Act1 in FIG.

As described above, according to the payment device 12, when the state is near empty or near full, the start instruction by the operation of the button B11 on the confirmation screen SC1 can be accepted. Then, in response to the start instruction, the first guidance screen SC2 or the second guidance screen SC3 notifies the employee 21 of the recommended number of sheets for each denomination to be replenished or collected. As a result, with respect to the payment device 12, whether or not it is necessary to replenish or collect coins or banknotes, and how many sheets should be replenished or collected, can be determined by the payment device 12 in the vicinity thereof. Any employee 21 who is present can confirm. Then, if necessary, the employee 21 can immediately perform the work for replenishing or collecting money on the spot. Thus, as compared with the case where the management person who monitors using the store computer goes to the installation location of the payment device 12 to replenish or collect money, the labor involved in replenishing or collecting money can be reduced.

Further, according to the payment device 12, the employee 21 is notified by an alarm operation that the state is near empty or near full. Therefore, it is possible to prompt the employee 21 who is near the payment device 12 who needs to replenish or collect money to take prompt action.

Further, according to the payment device 12, if the CPU 12a further determines the replenishment number AN (M) as in the specific example described above, the collected number AN (M) can be deposited for the Mth denomination. There is a high possibility that the number of stored sheets for the M denomination will approach the standard number of sheets SN (M). Therefore, if the employee 21 wants to adjust the number of stored sheets for the Mth denomination so as to be close to the reference number of sheets SN (M), the employee 21 may deposit the replenished number of sheets shown in the list L1.

Further, according to the payment device 12, if the CPU 12a determines the collected number CN (M) as in the specific example described above, the collected number CN (M) can be paid out for the Mth denomination, and the collected number CN (M) can be determined. There is a high possibility that the number of stored denominations will approach the standard number SN (M). Therefore, if the payout is instructed by touching the button B22 without performing the operation of changing the collected number CN (M), the number of stored sheets in the storage 121 for the denomination in the near full state is large. In the case of, the number of sheets is close to the standard number according to the denomination. Therefore, the employee 21 can adjust the number of stored denominations in the near full state to be close to the reference number by simply touching the button B22.

Further, according to the payment device 12, when the number of collected coins CN (M) is changed and the payout is instructed by touching the button B22, the employee 21 is in the near full state. The desired number of sheets is paid out, and the number of stored sheets is reduced. As a result, the employee 21 can arbitrarily adjust the number of stored sheets after payout.

Further, according to the payment device 12, if the coin-roll drawer 12j is further provided and the coin-roll drawer 12j is registered for use, the coin-roll drawer 12j is opened in response to a touch to the button B21. Therefore, the employee 21 can easily obtain coins to be replenished in the payment device 12 by the payment device 12.

Further, according to the payment device 12, if the coin-roll drawer 12j provided in another payment device 12 is registered for use, the take-out slip SH1 for opening the coin-roll drawer 12j touches the button B21. Issued according to. Then, when the barcode C1 displayed on the withdrawal slip SH1 is read by the scanner 12e of the appropriate payment device 12, the coin-roll drawer 12j provided in the payment device 12 is opened. Therefore, the employee 21 can easily obtain, for example, coins to be replenished to the payment device 12 to be replenished from the coin-roll drawer 12j provided in another payment device 12 installed near the payment device 12. be able to.
