Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention relates to a method of selling stamps at a post office window or the like, by automatically inputting a necessary stamp amount and automatically selecting a stamp corresponding to the amount. The present invention relates to a stamp sales status management device that manages the type and number of stamps sold, the total amount of stamps, and the like as soon as they are released.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when selling stamps at post office counters, the staff calculates the postage based on the weight of the received mail, etc. Combined stamps are taken out and attached to mail.

When managing the sales amount and the number of sales for each stamp type, the sales amount is calculated by subtracting the change prepared in advance from the cash at hand at the end of the sale, so that the number of sales for each stamp type is The number of stamps remaining in the stamp box is counted, and calculated and managed by subtracting from the number of stamps recorded at the start of sales recorded in advance.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in such a conventional stamp sales management method, humans count cash on hand and the number of stamps after stamp sales are completed, so counting errors are likely to occur, and the amount of money on hand and the type of remaining stamps In addition, there is a problem that a considerable time is required for matching with the number. In addition, each time a stamp is sold, a combination of stamps corresponding to postage is manually performed each time, so that there is a problem that it takes time to cut a stamp corresponding to postage.

In the above description, sales of postage stamps have been described as an example, but at present, sales management of stamps, vouchers, and the like at post office counters and local public entity counters is also performed in the same manner. .

The object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, automatically calculate a combination of stamps corresponding to the sales amount, release the stamps, and sell the sales amount, the number of sales per stamp type, and the like. The present invention provides a stamp sales status management device capable of automatically managing the stamps.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides an input unit for inputting the amount of stamps, a display unit for displaying the input amount, and a stamp corresponding to the input amount. A sales management device comprising control means for calculating a combination of classes from a large amount of money and transmitting release instruction data and storing and totaling in a memory, and a stamp for releasing stamps based on the release instruction data The present invention proposes a stamp sales status management device including a class release device.

According to the configuration of the present invention described above, when the amount of stamps to be sold by the salesperson is input from the input unit of the sales management device, the control unit sets the stamp type stored in the stamp release device recorded in the memory unit to the type of stamp. Based on this, the type of stamp to be released and the number of stamps are calculated, and release instruction data is sent to the stamp release device. Then, the stamp release device discharges the specified number of stamps to the outside based on the same release instruction data, so that a stamp combination corresponding to the input amount is automated,
In addition, there is no need to remove stamps. Since the control unit described above records the release instruction data and the amount data in the memory unit, the recorded data can be read out to the control unit again when the sales end input is performed from the input unit. By the display on the display unit, the number of stamps sold and the sales amount can be known, and occurrence of human error can be prevented.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the drawing showing a stamp sales management device according to the present invention, reference numeral 11 denotes a stamp release device, 12 denotes a sales management device, 13
Indicates a communication cable. The communication cable 13 connects the stamp release device 11 and the sales management device 12, and in FIG.
, 22 denotes an input unit, 23 denotes a display unit, and 24 denotes a memory unit.

The stamp sales status management device according to the above embodiment has such a configuration, and is used as follows.

When the required amount of stamp is input from the input unit 22 by the salesperson, the control unit 21 displays the input amount on the display unit 23, and then, from the memory unit 24, the stamp type registered in advance. The data of the stamp type stored in the discharge device 11 is read, and a combination of the stamp types corresponding to the required stamp amount is calculated. In calculating this combination of stamp types, for example, a stamp type with a large amount of money is allocated, a stamp with a small amount is sequentially allocated to the remaining amount, and the stamp type is changed until it matches the corresponding amount. The type and number of sheets may be determined for the corresponding stamp.

Next, the control unit 21 sends the data of the determined stamp type and the number of stamps to the stamp releasing device 11 via the communication cable 13. Therefore, the stamp releasing device 11 releases the specified number of stamps according to the instruction content. However, as stamps to be used, roll stamps having a machine-identifiable separator mark for each stamp are used. It can be used and automatically cut by sending the specified number of sheets. As the stamps stored in the stamp release device 11 described above, for example, 1, 3,
There are a total of 11 types of 5, 10, 30, 50, 41, 62, 100, 300, and 500 yen. In this case, for example, when inputting the amount of money of 240 yen, the number of stamps obtained by combining two 100 yen, one 30 yen, and one 10 yen is released.

By the way, according to the instruction of the control unit 21 of the sales management device 12, the type of stamp, the number of stamps, and the amount of the stamp instructed to be released are recorded in the memory unit 24. The record of the sales status is sequentially read from the memory unit 24 to the control unit 21 after the end input from the input unit 22 and is cumulatively calculated, and the result is displayed on the display unit 23. Therefore, in order to manage the sales amount of stamps in a certain period, the total can be easily calculated by comparing the cash on hand of the salesperson with the sales amount in the same period.

As described above, according to the embodiment, the input unit
By simply inputting the amount from 22, necessary stamps are automatically released from the stamp release device 11, and at the end of sales, the number of sales and the sales amount for each type of stamp are displayed on the display unit 22 of the sales management device 12. This eliminates the need for stripping the necessary stamps from the stamp sheet and collating with cash, thereby facilitating sales tabulation.

Note that, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the stamp type is assigned from the large amount of money for the determination of the combination of the stamp types is exemplified, but it is needless to say that another algorithm can be adopted. In the stamp release apparatus 11, the roll stamp is used for automatic cutting. However, a cut stamp or a manual cutting stamp can be used.

Advantageous Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, when a stamp is sold, a necessary amount of money is provided by providing a mechanism in which the stamp is released from the automatic dispensing device by inputting a sales amount and a mechanism for counting and managing. It is possible to save the trouble of selecting and combining stamps from the types of stored stamps. Moreover, in the stamp sales status management device of the present invention, the necessary stamps are automatically released, so that mistakes in counting the number of sheets by visual inspection are prevented beforehand, and at the end of the sales, the stamp sales contents up to that point. Can be automatically tabulated, so that there is an effect that the trouble of tabulation can be saved and human error can be prevented.
