The display of cash amount input (online device) on the machine 2 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and the display examples shown in FIGS.
[0023]
First, in response to an instruction from the operation panel 7, the control unit 3 activates program activation (ST1). Then, the control unit 3 guides and displays a layout selection screen on the display unit 8 (ST2). By this guidance, the operator selects and instructs the display of cash amount input (online equipment) as an item (ST3). In response to this instruction, the control unit 3 performs guidance display on the display unit 8 as to whether or not the setting file (stored in the internal memory of the control unit 3) has been changed (ST4). When it is instructed by the operation panel 7 that there is a change in the setting file (ST5), the operator changes the contents of the setting file displayed on the display unit 8 using the operation panel 7 (ST6).
[0024]
When it is instructed by the operation panel 7 that the setting file is not changed in the step 5, or when the content of the setting file is changed in the step 6, the control unit 3 inputs the cash amount in the setting file ( The display column condition for the display of (online device) is read (ST7).
[0025]
Further, the control unit 3 displays a location selection screen on the display unit 8 based on the connection data of the locations defined by the internal memory (ST8). For example, as shown in FIG. 5, Company A and Company B are in parallel, and there are a district, a line district, a station, a corner, and a machine in the lower layer direction in stages for each company.
[0026]
Based on this display, the operator selects a location by using the operation panel 7 (ST9). For example, Company A is selected as the company, Nerima Region as the region, Ikebukuro Line as the line region, Nerima as the station, and the bookstore entrance as the corner.
[0027]
By this location selection, the control unit 3 causes the character data of “Ikebukuro Line” as the line name and the characters of “Nerima Region” as the name of the area including the line based on the selected line code of the Ikebukuro Line. Data is read from the line table 24k, and the character data of “Nerima” is read from the station table 24f as the station name on the basis of the selected Ikebukuro line code and Nerima station order code, and the selected company A line Is read from the corner table 24g as a corner name (ST10). Further, the control unit 3 makes the characters “1”, “2”... As the model code and the machine number based on the selected Ikebukuro line section code, Nerima station order code, and corner code of the bookstore entrance. The data and the character data of “automatic ticket vending machine, coupon ticket vending machine, automatic settlement machine” as the device name (model details) are read from the device table 24c, and “automatic ticket vending machine, Character data of “automatic payment machine” is read from the model table 24h (ST10).
[0028]
In addition, the control unit 3 reads various total data values corresponding to the selected district, line, station, corner, and unit from the deadline total table 24b, and reads the deadline collection state from the deadline collection state table 24a ( ST11). As the total data value, the number of handling cards, the number of handling cash, the handling card amount, the handling cash amount, the handling total, the cash amount, the excess and deficiency amount are read, and the final status is read as the deadline collection state.
[0029]
As a result, the control unit 3 causes the display unit 8 to display “the number of handled cards, the number of handled cash, the handled cards, the handled cash, the handled total, the amount of cash, excess and deficiency, A display column consisting of “determined status” is displayed, and line display is performed on the display unit 8 based on each character data read in step 10 and each total data value read in step 10 and the determined status (ST12). .
[0030]
At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, district, line district, station, corner, model, model details, number, handling card number, handling cash number, handling card (amount), handling cash (amount), handling total (amount) ), A display column consisting of cash amount, excess / deficiency (amount), and confirmed status is displayed, and a row is displayed corresponding to this display column.
[0031]
Further, the display example shown in FIG. 6 is an example in which the setting file is not changed in step 5, and the contents of the setting file are changed in step 6, for example, as shown in FIG. Ward, station, corner, model, model details, number of units, handling total (amount), handling card (amount), handling cash (amount), cash amount, excess or deficiency (amount), final status, counter category, number of handling cash A display column consisting of is displayed, and a row is displayed corresponding to this display column.
[0032]
When correction is necessary in a state where a row is displayed corresponding to the display column as described above, the operator sets a correction mode using the operation panel 7 and inputs correction (ST13). .
[0033]
Then, the control unit 3 determines whether or not to perform redisplay (ST14). If redisplay is to be performed, the process returns to step 7. If not to redisplay, it is determined whether or not correction data is to be stored (ST15). . As a result, when it is determined that the program is not stored, the control unit 3 determines whether or not the program is finished (ST16). When the process is not finished, the process returns to step 13, and when the process is finished, the program is finished.
[0034]
If it is determined in step 15 that the data is stored, the correction data is written in the database 4 (ST17), and the process returns to step 7.
In addition, in step 9 above, when the company A is selected as the company, the Nerima region as the region, the Ikebukuro line as the line region, the Nerima as the station, and the location of the automatic ticket vending machine as the model, the contents of the line display displayed on the display Is changed as shown in FIG.
[0035]
That is, the Nerima Region as the region, the Ikebukuro Line as the line region, the Nerima as the station, the bookstore entrance, the north exit, the south exit, the west exit as the corner, the automatic ticket machine, the machine number, and various cumulative numbers as the model.
[0036]
Items to be instructed to select items in the above step 3 include the equipment deadline status, the preliminary number of people passing through the automatic ticket gate, the counter handling data input, the counter cash amount input, the payment type input, and the like.
[0037]
Moreover, in the said example, although the display of the cash amount input (online apparatus) was demonstrated in the data totaling machine 2, not only this but the station administration server 21 can also display various total content similarly to the above. it can. As a result, it is possible to easily check the contents of aggregation across a plurality of railway companies as a backward process in the station service server 21. At this time, every time the database 4 of the data totaling machine 2 is updated, the database 24 of the station service server 21 is also updated in the same manner.
[0038]
As mentioned above, since the line table code, station order code, corner code, model code, and unit number are entered in the database table key, the data of stations throughout Japan can be stored without duplication. . Also, since the railway company code is added to the key code as the master data, the master data can coexist even if the code system for each railway company is different.
[0039]
This makes it possible to design a database table that can be applied to all Japanese railway companies.
The business screen application is also designed to be applicable to all Japanese railway companies. Basically, the extracted data is expressed by a table, and when it is necessary to input data, it can be input in the table. Also, before displaying the screen, the configuration file is read and the columns are displayed according to the contents defined there. Thereby, it is possible to set whether or not to display the column according to the customer and the display order.
[0040]
Furthermore, the display line is displayed as the database by setting a range to be read from the database (range by corner, station including all corners, district including a plurality of stations).
[0041]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the present invention, data on station equipment that can easily construct a display format for different contents of each railway company using a database that can be applied to all railway companies in Japan. Can provide tally machines and data tally systems.
