Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a money handling machine, and more particularly to a money handling machine serving as an automatic change machine.

Nowadays, in supermarkets, convenience stores, and other stores, automatic change dispensers are installed to ensure strict customer handling and cash management. In large stores, these machines are usually connected to a higher-level device such as a POS (Point Of Sales) register, and process the deposit and withdrawal of money such as coins and bills in response to commands from the higher-level device (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2015-162121 A

Incidentally, in recent years, all financial institutions have adopted charging a fee for receiving a number of denominations exceeding a certain number.

For this reason, there are an increasing number of cases in which people deposit a large number of coins into a cash processing machine and receive coins or banknotes that are higher in value than the coins they deposited as change, avoiding reducing the amount of money they have due to charges.

Inserting such a large number of coins is not preferable, as it requires an excessive amount of coin collection operations due to the storage being full, and reduces the opportunity for the cash processing machine to process deposits and withdrawals.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a money processing machine that can prevent the decline in opportunities for deposit and withdrawal processing.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the objective, the money handling machine of the present invention is a money handling machine that identifies money inserted through an insertion port, sorts the inserted money into denominations according to the identification results and stores them in storage vaults, and when a dispensing command is given, dispenses the stored money from the corresponding storage vault and dispenses it from a dispensing port, and is characterized in that it has a control unit that performs a coin priority dispensing operation in which, when the dispensing command is for a dispensing amount equal to or greater than the amount of a minimum denomination banknote and the coin number composition of the immediately preceding inserted money is equal to or greater than the minimum amount, the machine dispenses the dispensing amount from the money corresponding to the coin number composition from the dispensing port.

Further, in the above-mentioned money processing machine, the present invention provides that, in the coin priority withdrawal operation, the control unit configures the money corresponding to the withdrawal amount from the money corresponding to the coin number configuration to the minimum number of coins, and makes the withdrawal. It is characterized by withdrawals from the mouth.

The present invention is also characterized in that in the above-mentioned money handling machine, when a rare denomination of money whose stored number is equal to or less than a threshold value set for each storage vault is included in the money corresponding to the coin number configuration during the coin priority dispensing operation, the control unit dispensing the withdrawal amount from the dispensing port by excluding the rare denomination of money and forming the minimum number of coins.

The present invention is also characterized in that the money handling machine includes a reverse exchange selection means for selecting a reverse exchange process in which an equivalent amount is paid out from a lower denomination to a higher denomination, and when the reverse exchange process is selected through the reverse exchange selection means, the control unit dispenses the amount of money to be dispensed from the dispensing port in the minimum number of coins including banknotes, even if the dispensing command is for a dispensing amount equal to or greater than the amount of a minimum denomination banknote and the number of coins in the immediately preceding inserted money is equal to or greater than the minimum amount.

The present invention also provides a money handling machine comprising a charge reverse exchange selection means for selecting a charge reverse exchange process in which an equivalent amount is paid out from a lower denomination to a higher denomination on the condition that a specified amount is charged, and when the charge reverse exchange process is selected via the charge reverse exchange selection means, the control unit subtracts the charge amount corresponding to the inserted money from the withdrawal amount, even if the withdrawal command is for a withdrawal amount equal to or greater than the amount of a minimum denomination banknote and the number of coins in the immediately preceding inserted money is equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and dispenses the resulting money from the withdrawal port in the minimum number of coins including banknotes.

According to the present invention, when a dispensing command is for a dispensing amount equal to or greater than the amount of a minimum-denomination banknote and the coin number composition of the previously inserted money is equal to or greater than the minimum amount, the control unit performs a coin priority dispensing operation in which the dispensing amount is dispensed from the dispensing port from the money corresponding to the coin number composition. This has the effect of preventing the coin storage vault from becoming full even if a large number of coins are deposited in the money processing machine, suppressing an unnecessary increase in collection operations and preventing a decrease in opportunities for deposit and withdrawal processing.

The example money handling system shown here comprises a money handling machine 1 used as an automatic change dispenser in stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores, and a cash register 2 as a higher-level device that is communicatively connected to the money handling machine 1. The cash register 2 is a conventionally known device, and has an input/output unit 3 realized by a touch panel on a flat register control unit 4. A barcode reader 5 is also connected to the register control unit 4. The input/output unit 3 may be configured separately into an input unit and an output unit. Details of such a cash register 2 will be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the money processing machine 1 has a coin insertion port 11, a coin withdrawal port 12, a coin return port 16, a bill insertion port 21, and a bill withdrawal port at the front end of a rectangular parallelepiped main body. It has a mouth 22. Note that, as shown in FIG. 2, the money processing machine 1 includes a coin storage unit 10 and a banknote storage unit 20.

<Configuration and operation of coin storage unit 10>
The coin slot 11 is an opening for receiving coins inserted into the device main body, and is formed on the upper surface of the front end of the device main body. The coin slot 11 functions as a temporary holding unit that temporarily holds deposits from customers. The coins inserted into the coin insertion slot 11 receive a deposit permission command from the register device 2 side, are detected by an insertion detection sensor (not shown), and are then transferred to the receiving and conveying section of the coin storage unit 10, as shown in FIG. The deposit transport mechanism 13c functions as a deposit transport mechanism 13c. A coin discrimination sensor 14 provided in the deposit conveyance mechanism 13c determines the authenticity, denomination, and number of coins. If the transported coin is a genuine coin, it is held in the temporary holding warehouse 15g. On the other hand, if the transported coin is not a genuine coin, it is returned to the receiving tray 17 via the coin dispensing port 12. Incidentally, when there is a return instruction from the register device 2 side, the coins held in the temporary holding warehouse 15g are returned to the coin return port 16.

Then, the coins stored in the temporary storage vault 15g are transported by the sorting and transporting mechanism 13a, which is a sorting section. The coins transported by the sorting and transporting mechanism 13a are stored in the coin storage vaults 15a to 15f, which are storage sections, according to their denominations. In this embodiment, the 1 yen coin storage vault 15a, the 50 yen coin storage vault 15b, the 5 yen coin storage vault 15c, the 100 yen coin storage vault 15d, the 10 yen coin storage vault 15e, and the 500 yen coin storage vault 15f are provided inside the device main body, and the inserted coins are stored separately by denomination. The temporary storage vault 15g also functions as a reconciliation vault to empty the coins stored in each of the coin storage vaults 15a to 15f and recount the number of coins stored in each of the coin storage vaults 15a to 15f. The coin dispensing port 12 is an opening formed on the front of the device body for dispensing coins that have been conveyed from each of the coin storage units 15a to 15f via the dispensing transport mechanism 13b in response to a dispensing command from the register device 2 to the outside of the device body.

<Configuration and operation of banknote storage unit 20>
The bill slot 21 is an opening for receiving inserted bills into the device main body, and is provided at the upper front surface of the device main body. The bill slot 21 functions as a temporary holding unit that temporarily holds deposits from customers. The banknotes inserted into the banknote slot 21 receive a deposit permission instruction from the register device 2 side, are detected by an input detection sensor (not shown), and then are transferred to the banknote storage unit 20 as shown in FIG. It is transported by the mechanism 23. The authenticity and denomination of the transported banknotes are determined by the banknote discrimination sensor 24. When the transported banknotes are genuine bills, a temporary storage is divided into the 1000 yen banknote storage 25b in the banknote storage 25 or the upstream side of the mixed banknote storage 25c according to the denomination. It will be suspended on the 26th. On the other hand, if the transported bill is not a genuine bill, or if there is a return instruction from the register device 2 side, the bill is returned to the bill dispensing port 22.

Thereafter, the banknotes held in the temporary storage 26 are stored in the 1000 yen banknote storage 25b or the mixed banknote storage 25c. Note that the mixed banknote storage 25c stores banknotes other than 1000 yen banknotes. For example, 10,000 yen banknotes and 5,000 yen banknotes are mixed and stored. The inspection storage 25a is a storage that temporarily stores the banknotes stored in the 1000 yen banknote storage 25b and the mixed banknote storage 25c when the banknotes are once emptied and the number of banknotes stored in each banknote storage 25 is re-counted. The banknote withdrawal port 22 is an opening for dispensing banknotes taken out from the banknote storage 25 to the outside of the device body in response to a withdrawal command from the register device 2 side, and is provided on the front side of the device body. be.

As shown in FIG. 1, the operation display unit 30 is provided on the upper right front part of the money handling machine 1. The operation display unit 30 has a display unit 30a and an operation unit 30b. The display unit 30a has a 7-segment LED display that shows the storage status of money by denomination, an LCD display that displays text information related to the storage status of the money and other necessary information, and a help lamp that indicates that there is information that should be displayed or output as sound. The operation unit 30b is used by the operator to input various commands, and is composed of multiple function buttons that also function as a numeric keypad, for example.

<Control system of money handling machine 1>
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a control system of the money processing machine 1 that constitutes the money processing system shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, in the money processing machine 1, a coin storage unit 10, a banknote storage unit 20, an operation display unit 30, and a memory 50 are connected to a control unit 40.

When a command is given through the operation display unit 30, when a detection signal is given from the coin validator sensor 14 or the banknote validator sensor 24, or when various commands are given from the higher-level register device 2, the control unit 40 controls the display of the operation display unit 30, drives the coin transport mechanisms (sorting transport mechanism 13a, withdrawal transport mechanism 13b, deposit transport mechanism 13c), and drives the banknote transport mechanism 23 based on the programs and initial data stored in the memory 50. The control unit 40 has a deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a.

The deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a performs the money deposit process in accordance with the deposit permission command when money is deposited after the input permission command is given from the register device 2, and when the cash withdrawal command is given from the register device 2. In this case, the money is withdrawn according to the withdrawal instruction. Further, while executing these deposit processing and withdrawal processing, the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a also performs a process of sequentially storing the contents of the executed deposit processing and withdrawal processing in the memory 50 as deposit/withdrawal information.

<Transaction control process of money handling system>
Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the transaction control processing procedure of the register control unit 4 (cash register 2) that constitutes the money handling system, and Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing the transaction control processing procedure of the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a (control unit 40: money handling machine 1) that constitutes the money handling system. The transaction control processing of the money handling system will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7.

As shown in FIG. 6, the register control unit 4 registers the product that the customer purchases and receives input for inputting the amount (step S101). Thereafter, the register control unit 4 determines whether a subtotal button (not shown) displayed on the input/output unit 3 has been pressed (step S102). If the subtotal button is not pressed (step S102: No), the register control unit 4 continues the process of step S101.

On the other hand, if the subtotal button is pressed (step S102: Yes), the register control unit 4 displays the total sales amount, which is the total of the prices of each registered item, as the purchase amount in a specified area of the input/output unit 3 (step S103). After displaying the sales amount in this way, the register control unit 4 sends a deposit permission command to the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a of the money handling machine 1 (step S104), and waits for notification of the identification and counting result of the inserted money from the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a (step S105).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a of the money handling machine 1 determines whether or not a deposit permission command has been input from the register control unit 4 (step S201). If a deposit permission command has not been input (step S201: No), the process continues with step S201.

When a deposit permission command is input (step S201: Yes), the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a identifies and counts the denomination, etc. of the money (inserted money) deposited from the coin slot 11 or bill slot 21. (Step S202). The deposit/withdrawal controller 40a that has identified and counted the input money in this way notifies the register controller 4 of the identification and counting results (step S203), and waits for a change withdrawal command from the register controller 4 (step S203). Step S204).

The register control unit 4, which is waiting for the identification counting result notification from the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a, determines whether or not there is an identification counting result notification (step S105), and if there is no identification counting result notification (step S105: No), If this judgment process is repeated and a notification of the identification counting result is received (step S105: Yes), the input/output unit 3 displays the amount received (step S106), and then checks whether the amount received is equal to or greater than the sales amount. is determined (step S107).

If the deposited amount is not more than the sales amount (step S107: No), the register control unit 4 moves to step S105, displays the deposited amount while continuing to notify the identification counting result from the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a, Repeat until the deposit amount exceeds the sales amount.

On the other hand, if the deposit amount is equal to or greater than the sales amount (step S107: Yes), the register control unit 4 determines whether a total button (not shown), which is a function button for terminating deposit displayed on the input/output unit 3, has been pressed (step S108). If the total button has not been pressed (step S108: No), this determination process is repeated, and if the total button has been pressed (step S108: Yes), the register control unit 4 sends a deposit termination command to the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a while calculating the change amount, which is the difference between the deposit amount and the sales amount (steps S109, S110).

The register control unit 4, having calculated the change amount in this manner, sends a change dispensing command to the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a (step S111) and waits for a withdrawal completion notification from the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a (step S112).

The deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a, which is waiting for a change withdrawal command from the register control unit 4, determines whether or not a change withdrawal command has been notified, and if the change withdrawal command has not been notified (step S204: No), this determination process is repeated, and if a change withdrawal command is notified (step S204: Yes), a withdrawal operation process is performed (step S205).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the withdrawal operation process shown in FIG. In this withdrawal operation process, the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a determines whether the withdrawal amount, which is the amount of change, is 1,000 yen or more (minimum amount of banknotes) or not, and also identifies and counts the input money in step S202. In step S205a, step S205b, it is determined whether the number of coins of the input money is 1000 yen or more.

If the withdrawal amount is less than 1000 yen (step S205a: No) or if the number of coins in the inserted money is less than 1000 yen (step S205b: No), the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a withdraws the coins from the appropriate storage unit so that the change amount is the minimum number of coins (step S205c), and then returns the procedure to end the withdrawal operation process.

On the other hand, if the withdrawal amount is 1000 yen or more and the number of coins in the inserted money is 1000 yen or more (step S205a: Yes, step S205b: Yes), the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a performs a coin priority withdrawal operation in which the minimum number of coins (money) corresponding to the coin number composition is used to create the change amount (withdrawal amount) and withdraws it from the coin withdrawal port 12 (step S205d).

This coin priority withdrawal operation will be described in detail. For example, if the sales amount is 100 yen and the deposit amount is 2100 yen in coins, the withdrawal amount (change amount) is 1000 yen or more and the number of coins in the inserted money is 1000 yen or more, and the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a will select the minimum number of coins from the coin storage vaults 15a to 15f that correspond to the number of coins in the deposited amount to provide the change amount (2000 yen), and dispense this from the coin withdrawal port 12.

After performing this coin priority withdrawal operation, the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a returns the procedure and ends the withdrawal operation processing.

The deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a that has performed the withdrawal operation process in this way notifies the register control unit 4 of the end of withdrawal (step S206), and ends the current process.

The register control unit 4, which is waiting for a withdrawal completion notification from the deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a, determines whether or not the withdrawal completion notification has been received. If the withdrawal completion notification has not been received (step S112: No), this determination process is repeated. If the withdrawal completion notification has been received (step S112: Yes), the register control unit 4 transitions to a standby state (step S213), and then ends this process.

As described above, according to the money handling machine 1 which is an embodiment of the present invention, when the change dispensing command from the register control unit 4 (register device 2) is 1000 yen or more and the coin number composition of the previously inserted money is 1000 yen or more, the control unit 40 (deposit/withdrawal control unit 40a) dispensing the change amount (withdrawal amount) from the coin withdrawal port 12 using the minimum number of coins from the coin number composition corresponding to that coin number composition. This makes it possible to prevent the coin storage vaults 15a-15f from becoming full even if a large number of coins are deposited into the money handling machine 1, suppressing an unnecessary increase in collection operations and preventing a decrease in opportunities for deposit/withdrawal processing.

In addition, when a large number of coins are inserted in this way, it is possible to return them to the coin return slot 16 or to collect them directly in a predetermined collection warehouse (not shown). If the card is returned, the transaction may not proceed smoothly, and as a result, there is a risk that the opportunity to process deposits and withdrawals will decrease. In addition, if a large amount of coins are collected directly into the collection warehouse, a new coin transport route will be required from the area where the inserted coins are held to the collection warehouse, and the manufacturing cost of the cash processing machine will increase due to the increase in the number of parts. This is not desirable as it may lead to In this regard, according to the cash processing machine 1 according to the present embodiment, since the number of parts does not increase, it is possible to suppress an increase in manufacturing costs and prevent a decrease in opportunities for depositing and withdrawing money.

In addition, with the above-mentioned money handling machine 1, there is no need to do anything with higher-level equipment such as the cash register 2, and it is only necessary to rewrite the processing contents of the control unit 40 of the money handling machine 1, which also makes it possible to prevent a decrease in opportunities for deposit and withdrawal processing while suppressing increases in manufacturing costs.

The above describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this and various modifications can be made.

In the above-described embodiment, in the coin priority withdrawal operation, the change amount (withdrawal amount) is dispensed from the coin withdrawal port 12 in a minimum number of coins. However, in the present invention, the withdrawal amount may be dispensed from the withdrawal port in a number other than the minimum number of coins. This also makes it possible to prevent a decrease in the opportunities for deposit and withdrawal processing.

In the present invention, in the coin priority withdrawal operation, money (rare denomination money) whose number of stored coins is less than or equal to a threshold value (for example, 10 coins) set for each coin storage 15a to 15f is money corresponding to the coin number configuration. If the amount is included in the coin withdrawal port 12, the withdrawal amount may be made up of the minimum number of coins, excluding rare denomination money, and withdrawn from the coin withdrawal port 12. According to this, it is possible to increase the storage amount of coins that are stored in a small number, so it is possible to suppress the operation of replenishing coins, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the opportunity for depositing and withdrawing money due to such replenishment operation.

In the present invention, the operation display section 30 is provided with a reverse exchange selection means such as a reverse exchange selection button for selecting a reverse exchange process for making an equivalent payout from a low denomination to a high denomination. When reverse exchange processing is selected through Even if the withdrawal amount is 1,000 yen or more, the withdrawal amount may be made up of the minimum number of bills including banknotes and withdrawn from the withdrawal port.

In the present invention, the operation display unit 30 is provided with a charge reverse exchange selection means such as a charge reverse exchange selection button for selecting a charge reverse exchange process in which an equivalent amount is paid out from a lower denomination to a higher denomination on the condition that a specified amount is charged, and when the charge reverse exchange process is selected through the charge reverse exchange selection means, the control unit 40 may subtract the charge amount (e.g., 150 yen) corresponding to the inserted money (e.g., 2100 yen) from the withdrawal amount (e.g., 2000 yen) even if the withdrawal command is for a withdrawal amount equal to or greater than the amount of the minimum denomination banknote (e.g., 1000 yen) and the number of coins in the immediately preceding inserted money is equal to or greater than the minimum amount (e.g., 1000 yen), and may dispense the amount after the subtraction (e.g., 1850 yen) from the withdrawal port in the minimum number of coins including banknotes.

The configurations illustrated in the above embodiments are merely functional schematics, and do not necessarily have to be physically configured as illustrated. In other words, the form of distribution and integration of each device and component is not limited to that illustrated, and all or part of them can be functionally or physically distributed and integrated in any unit depending on various usage conditions, etc.
