Description

  The present invention relates to a fee collection device such as provided in a transaction processing device such as a money changer that changes money, and more particularly to a fee collection device that collects a transaction fee without causing change.

  Usually, in the case of a transaction device having an input port in which the denomination used for transaction is limited to one denomination, for example, a coin of a specific denomination corresponding to the use fee is inserted in an input port of a charged charger where a mobile phone or the like is used A device that performs a charging operation on condition that the battery is inserted is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, there is known a driving operation based on a usage fee being charged into an insertion slot of a coin-type dry cleaning machine or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  Since these accept only specific denominations like 100-yen coins, it is an advantage that they have a simple money handling structure with only one denomination without the change-out structure for change.

  However, vending machines and automatic transaction apparatuses are being manufactured with high-functional devices to which a function for paying out fishing is added. For this reason, in these transaction devices, the money handling structure is complicated and large, which causes high costs. For example, taking an example of a change machine installed in a store of a financial institution, the use of the change machine is usually treated as free as part of the service of the financial institution. However, in recent years, there has been a growing demand to charge money for currency exchange transactions by seeking to improve profitability by financial institutions. For the purpose of realizing this charge, as an attempt to collect fees without waste by minimizing the change of the existing exchange machine, for example, an independent fee reception machine for exchange machine that collects exchange fees is installed, It is known that the dedicated fee change machine for money changer is provided in the money changer body (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  However, in such a change machine fee reception machine, if a change occurs when collecting a change fee, it is necessary to prepare for fishing separately from the change machine body side, so a change payout structure dedicated to the change fee As a result, the structure of the fee-receiving machine for the change machine becomes complicated, resulting in an increase in size and cost. Therefore, in order to omit the change-dispensing structure that is built into the fee-receiving machine for the money changer, it may be possible to collect the change from the fee that was traded on the money changer body. There will be a mix of separately managed money and money handled at the exchange machine fee reception machine side, which makes it difficult to manage money and control data in terms of management operations at financial institutions, resulting in high operating costs. Was.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a fee collection method and fee collection that can realize a simple fee collection structure that dispenses with change of payment by providing a unique money collection function that does not cause change when collecting transaction fees. An object is to provide an apparatus.

The present invention, when the money in the money inlet is turned on, the integrated charge plus the inserted coins, to determine whether more than a preset fee is levied as a transaction fee, the money When it is determined that the accumulated fee exceeds the set fee, even if the denomination has been accepted, it will be rejected and returned. Until the total charge including the inserted money reaches the set charge, and repeats these processes for each input money, and the accumulated charge is set to the set charge. It is a fee collection method that completes the collection of the set fee when it is confirmed that they match.

  Here, the transaction fee is a generic term for a fee including all payments such as a transaction fee when a customer uses a transaction, a device usage fee when using a device, and a product purchase price paid when purchasing a product. .

  According to the present invention, when the denomination of money inserted into the money slot is discriminated and an integrated fee including the inserted money is calculated, the integrated fee exceeds the set fee as a transaction fee at this time Will need to catch more than that, so even if it is a denomination that has already been accepted, change the acceptance of the denomination from the permitted state to the prohibited state, refuse the acceptance and return it . On the other hand, if the accumulated fee when accepting a denomination that does not require fishing reaches the set fee, the collection fee has been reached, so the money collected up to then is collected and the collection of the fee is completed. .

  In this way, when collecting the set fee, there is no need for fishing, so there is no preparation for fishing, and there is no need for a fishing payout structure, so the fee collection structure can be downsized. For example, a thinned configuration can be taken.

  For this reason, when trying to collect an exchange fee in combination with a money changer or the like, the exchange fee can be independently and efficiently collected with a simple configuration. In addition, there is no change from the exchange rate handled by the money changer, and there is no mix of different money for money exchange handled by the money changer and money handled for the exchange fee. Operation management becomes easier. As a result, it is possible to easily construct a fee collection device or the like by setting the management operation cost at the financial institution side low.

In another configuration of the present invention, a money slot that allows the insertion of money, a money processing means that processes the inserted money, and a return means that returns the money that is not suitable for collecting charges among the inserted money. A fee collection device for collecting a transaction fee to be used by the money handling means from the money put into the money slot, wherein the money handling means uses the denomination of the inserted money. Determining the denomination of the money to be discriminated, and when it is determined that the accumulated fee including the inserted money does not exceed the preset set fee collected as a transaction fee , accepting and holding the money and putting it on hold Continue to insert until the accumulated fee with the added money reaches the set fee, and when it is determined that the accumulated fee exceeds the set fee, even if it is a denomination that has been accepted up to that point State A reception changing process for returning the money to change the prohibited state, when the accumulated charge was confirmed that it matched the setting rates, and a fee collection process to complete the collection of the set fee is charged It can be set as the structure which repeats the said reception change process with respect to each money .

According to the present invention, when money is inserted into the money insertion slot, first, the money type is determined by performing the denomination determination process on the money in which the money processing means is inserted, and the denomination of the determined money. However, it is determined whether or not the denomination exceeds a preset set fee collected as a transaction fee. Then, when it is determined that the accumulated charge at the time of integrating accepts the money put by performing the acceptance change process does not exceed the set fee, pending allow the reception because our fishing unnecessary, money put in The charging is continued until the integrated fee plus the set fee is reached . On the other hand, when the integrated charge is determined that exceeds the set fee, to return so take your fishing. This process is repeated for each inserted currency. Then, when it is confirmed that the integrated fee including the money inserted by the fee collection process matches the set fee, the collection of the set fee is completed.

  Accordingly, when collecting the transaction fee, a transaction configuration that avoids the occurrence of change is possible, so that the structure for collecting the set fee can be constructed in a small and simple manner by omitting the structure for paying out the change.

  Moreover, it is only necessary to sequentially insert coins into the coin insertion slot one by one. When the accumulated fee including the inserted coins becomes a set fee, it is collected and collection of the set fee as a transaction fee is completed. In this case, since it accepts money one by one and discriminates the denomination, it can be easily determined whether or not it can be accepted.

  In another configuration of the present invention, the denomination permitting the acceptance of money is displayed, and the display of the denomination that the accumulated charge including the accepted money exceeds the set charge is changed from the input possible display to the display not possible to input. A display means for switching can be provided.

  According to the present invention, when the money is inserted, the display means displays and guides the denomination permitted to be used according to the transaction fee and the denomination for which the use is restricted. Seeing this display guide, he can insert the permitted denomination. In addition, as an expression of another form of the display guidance, an expression that lights the permitted denomination green, the red denomination denomination, and the lighting / extinction of the lamp provided corresponding to the display unit representing each denomination An expression in a state or a combination of the above two expressions can be considered.

  In addition, display guidance can be provided together with other display means in order to enhance the display guidance of the denominations used. For example, it is possible to combine display means such as a charge display unit that displays the balance of the set fee by deducting the charge of the inserted money from the set fee each time money is inserted into the money slot. In this case, since the remaining amount of the set fee is displayed every time money is inserted into the money insertion slot, the customer can easily select the denomination corresponding to the remaining money by viewing this display.

  It is possible to configure a transaction processing apparatus that includes such a fee collection device and collects and operates a transaction fee each time a transaction is used. In this case, since the charge collection device can omit the handling of fishing, there is no restriction on fishing, and as a result, the fee collection device can be thinned and attached to the transaction processing apparatus separately or integrally. For example, it can be compactly incorporated in the front of the money changer.

  According to the present invention, since a transaction fee is collected by depositing a denomination that does not cause change, a simplified fee collection device can be constructed by omitting the change payout structure. In particular, since no fishing is required, there is no need to prepare for fishing, and there is no need for a fishing payout structure, so a structure that is reduced in size and thickness can be taken. For this reason, when the fee collection device is provided in the transaction processing device, the transaction fee can be collected independently. Furthermore, since the money handled by the transaction processing device is not paid out and the money handled by the transaction processing device and the money handled by the transaction fee are not mixed, the operation management of the money becomes easy.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The drawing shows a change machine installed in a store such as a bank. In FIG. 1, this change machine 11 has a card insertion slot 12, a coin outlet 13, a banknote handling slot 14, A tray 15 and a touch input / display (CRT) 16 are provided to allow exchange of banknotes and coins. Furthermore, a fee collection device 17 for collecting a change fee is provided on the lower front surface of the change machine main body 11a.

  This fee collection device 17 accepts an exchange fee for a charged exchange transaction and collects it independently, and is processed separately from the currency handled on the exchange machine main body 11a side, and manages only the exchange fee. It has a charge collection function. For this reason, since it is possible to manage the exchange amount handled on the exchange machine main body 11a side and the exchange fee handled by the fee collection device 17 without confusion, it becomes possible to manage independent money, and the fee collection device 17 is made thin. It is in the shape of a rectangular plate and is integrally provided at the lower part of the front surface of the changer main body 11a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a customer detection sensor S for detecting a customer and a return port 18 for returning coins are provided on the front surface of the fee collection device 17, and a customer operation surface for collecting fees on the upper surface. The fee display unit 19, the reception denomination display unit 20, the slot 21, the return button 22, and the return display unit 23 are arranged in order from one side (left side in FIG. 2) in the horizontal direction.

  In this case, when the amount of exchange transaction such as the exchange transaction amount or the number of transactions is determined, the fee display unit 19 displays and guides a necessary exchange fee according to the amount. In addition, when a coin is inserted into the insertion slot 21 one by one during the exchange fee transaction process, it has a deposit function guide function for displaying and displaying the balance.

  Furthermore, in the reception denomination display unit 20, individual coin display units (displays of denominations) according to six denominations of 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, and 1 yen used for circulating coins. These display marks are individually turned on and off for each denomination, and the denomination of acceptability is displayed and guided to the denomination.

  The insertion slot 21 has an opening for receiving coins one by one, and the coins of the six denominations are input and used in common. When the return button 22 is pressed after inserting the coin, the transaction is forcibly stopped by the customer and the inserted coin is returned to the return port 18. Further, when coins are returned to the return port 18, the return display unit 23 is turned on or blinked to inform the customer that the coins will be returned. Further, as another embodiment, a structure may be employed in which the inserted coins are returned to the return port as they are without using the return button.

  FIG. 3 shows a state in which the front door 24 of the money changer 11 is opened, and a toll collection device 17 is integrally attached to the outer surface side of the front door 24. And the check part 25, the temporary storage part 26, and the storage cassette 27 are arrange | positioned in this order on the inner surface side of the front door 24 from the upper part.

  Referring to the route diagram of FIG. 4, the schematic processing of coins inserted into the insertion slot 21 will be described. The inserted coins are guided from the insertion slot 21 to the check unit 25, where authenticity and denomination If the denomination is accepted and accepted, the money is temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 26 via the storage path L1 indicated by a thick solid line in FIG. Thereafter, the temporarily held coins are stored in the storage cassette 27 after the transaction is confirmed in which the exchange transaction is established.

  On the other hand, when the coins entered are inspected by the quarantine unit 25, if the coins or foreign objects that are not suitable for collection are inspected, the acceptance is rejected, and the accepted denominations or foreign objects are It returns to the return port 18 via the rejection path | route L2 shown with a thick dotted line in FIG.

  Furthermore, if the customer presses the return button 22 in the middle of the transaction in which the inserted coins are temporarily held in the temporary holding unit 26, the transaction is stopped and the temporarily held coins are indicated by a thick dotted line in FIG. It returns to the return port 18 via the cancellation route L3 shown.

  In addition, even when foreign matter that is not determined to be a coin is generated on the exchange machine main body 11a side, the foreign matter is returned to the return port 18 via the foreign matter return path L4 indicated by a thick two-dot chain line in FIG. It is configured.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the storage cassette 27 is provided with the front door 24 opened and the storage cassette 27 tilted from the inside to allow attachment / detachment. For this reason, when the exchange fee is collected and the coins in the storage cassette 27 become full, the front door 24 can be opened to easily exchange it for an empty storage cassette. Therefore, it is possible to manage separately from currency for exchange transactions stored in the apparatus.

  FIG. 6 shows a control circuit block diagram of the fee collection device 17. The control unit 61 of the fee collection device 17 is provided on the control board, and includes a fee display unit 19, a reception denomination display unit 20, and a return display unit 23. The display units 19, 20, and 23, the return switch 62 of the return button 22, the check unit 25, and the temporary holding unit 26 are connected to the circuit devices and connected to the control unit 63 of the money changer main body 11a. ing. And each part is controlled according to the program stored in the control part 61 of this fee collection apparatus 17. FIG.

  By the way, this fee collection device 17 is provided in a coin receiving structure dedicated to depositing, which eliminates the need for a change payout structure when collecting the exchange fee. For this reason, there is no need to prepare for fishing, and the fishing payout structure can be omitted, so the internal structure of the fee collection device 17 is simplified to reduce the size and thickness of the entire device, and to collect the exchange fee uniquely and efficiently. Can be managed. For this reason, the control unit 61 has a fishing avoidance control function that does not cause fishing.

  The fishing avoidance control function of the control unit 61 collects the denomination determining process for determining the denomination of the inserted coin and the denomination of the coin determined by the denomination determining process as a preset exchange fee. Collection determination processing to determine whether the denomination exceeds the set fee to be accepted, and when the accumulated fee including the inserted coins is determined as a denomination that does not exceed the set fee, the accumulated fee is accepted When it is determined that the denomination exceeds the charge, the coin selection process to be returned is executed, and when it is confirmed that the accumulated charge matches the set charge, the charge collecting process for completing the collection of the set charge is executed. Is.

  Specifically, when a coin is inserted into the insertion slot 21, the control unit 61 acquires denomination information from the quarantine unit 25 that has inspected the coin, and the acquired denomination information is collected as an exchange fee. It is determined whether or not the denomination exceeds the set fee. At this time, if it is determined that the accumulated fee including the inserted coins is a denomination that does not exceed the set fee, accepting is permitted because no change is required. On the other hand, if it is determined that the accumulated charge exceeds the set charge, it will be returned because it requires fishing. After that, if it is confirmed that the accumulated fee including the coins entered matches the preset fee, the entire exchange fee will be charged. It will be completed. In this way, the exchange fee is collected to avoid the occurrence of change.

  Further, when accepting coins, the control unit 61 permits acceptance of individual coins that are inserted one by one if the accumulated fee including the coins does not exceed a preset set fee. Temporary suspension is made until the set fee is reached, and if the denomination exceeds the set fee, the collection of the exchange fee is completed by repeating the acceptance processing of the coin that is rejected and returned.

  Therefore, the customer only has to insert coins one by one into the insertion slot 21 one by one, and when the set fee is set in advance, the temporarily held coins are collected and the set fee is collected as an exchange fee. Complete.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the customer inputs an amount to exchange money, and the setting fee of the exchange fee corresponding to this is set to 600 yen, the first coin is any gold Even if it is a seed, it does not exceed the set fee, so it is in a waiting state where all six denominations are permitted to be thrown. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), the customer service operation surface of the fee collection device 17 lights up that the exchange fee is 600 yen in the fee display unit 19 and further displays all in the reception denomination display unit 20. The display marks for the six denominations indicating that the six denominations are permitted to be turned on are lit.

  If the customer inserts a 100-yen coin into the first denomination by looking at such a display guide, the balance of the exchange fee will be 500 yen when the 100-yen coin is received, and the inserted 100-yen coin will be It is led to the temporary holding unit 26 and temporarily held, and it waits for the remaining 500 yen. Since the denominations that can be used at this time are still capable of accepting the maximum denomination of 500 yen coins, all six denominations are permitted to be input. For this reason, the fee display unit 19 of the fee collection device 17 lights up the remaining 500 yen, and the reception denomination display unit 20 lights up all six denomination display marks and displays available denominations. I am guiding you.

  Next, if a 100-yen coin is selected and inserted as the second denomination to be inserted by the customer, the balance of the exchange fee will be 400 yen, and two 100-yen coins will be held in the temporary holding unit 26, and the remaining 400 Waiting for the input of yen. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8B, the fee collection device 17 displays the remaining 400 yen on the fee display unit 19 as shown in FIG. Since it is impossible to accept denominations of 500 yen coins, the display marks for 500 yen coins are turned off, and the display marks for other 5 denominations other than 500 yen coins are lit.

  In this case, if a 500 yen coin is mistakenly inserted into the second denomination inserted by the customer, the accumulated fee including the 500 yen coin will exceed the set fee and cause fishing. In some cases, the 500-yen coin that has been accepted after being accepted is returned to the return port 18 via the reject route L2.

  Similarly, if a 100 yen coin is selected and inserted into the third denomination that the customer throws in, the balance of the exchange fee will be 300 yen, and in the temporary holding section 26 three 100 yen coins will be held, and the balance will be 300 yen. Wait for minutes. In this case, the fee display unit 19 of the fee collection device 17 lights and displays the remaining 300 yen amount, and the reception denomination display unit 20 cannot accept the maximum denomination of 500 yen coins. The display mark is turned off, and the display marks of other five denominations other than the 500 yen coin are turned on.

  In the following, for the fourth and subsequent cards, the denomination (for example, 100 yen coins) is inserted in order, and if the accumulated fee finally reaches the set fee of 600 yen, the acceptance of the exchange fee is completed. . Based on this, a currency exchange transaction corresponding to the exchange fee of 600 yen on the currency exchange machine 11 side is allowed.

  Also, when 100 yen coins and 500 yen coins are inserted when the first and second coins are inserted, the set fee reaches 600 yen when these two coins are inserted. The collection of the exchange fee can be completed when the second card is inserted.

  Thus, when depositing the exchange fee, the control unit 61 displays the denomination permitted to be inserted into the insertion port 21 of the fee collection device 17 on the fee display unit 19, and further displays the denomination display unit 20. Whether or not insertion is possible is displayed and guided by denomination by display marks. In particular, if there is a denominable denomination that includes the charge of the coins inserted in the first or several throwing processes, and the total charge exceeds the set fee, The reception denomination display unit 20 has a display control function for switching from a light-on display that can be turned on to a light-off display that cannot be made. For this reason, the customer can input the denomination according to the deposit by looking at the display guidance of the fee display unit 19 and the reception denomination display unit 20.

FIG. 9 shows a list of examples of payment guidance when the setting fee of the exchange fee is set to 1200 yen.
When the customer inputs an amount to exchange money and the setting fee of the exchange fee corresponding to this is 1200 yen, the first coin of any denomination is 1200 yen Since the set fee is not exceeded, all 6 denominations are allowed to be entered. At this time, on the customer service operation surface of the fee collection device 17, as shown in FIG. 8A, the fee display unit 19 lights up to indicate that the exchange fee is 1200 yen, and the reception denomination display unit 20 A display mark of six denominations indicating that all six denominations are permitted to be turned on is lit.

  If the customer inserts a 500 yen coin into the first denomination by looking at such a display guide, the balance of the exchange fee will be 700 yen when the 500 yen coin is received, and the inserted 500 yen coin is It is led to the temporary holding unit 26 and temporarily held, and the waiting amount of 700 yen is charged. Since the denominations that can be used at this time are still capable of accepting the maximum denomination of 500 yen coins, all six denominations are permitted to be input. For this reason, the fee display unit 19 of the fee collection device 17 lights up the remaining 700 yen, and the reception denomination display unit 20 lights up all six denomination display marks and displays available denominations. I am guiding you.

  Next, if a customer chooses and inserts the same 500 yen coin as the second denomination, the remaining exchange fee will be 200 yen, and two 500 yen coins will be held in the temporary holding section 26, and the remaining balance. Wait 200 yen. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8B, the fee collection device 17 displays the remaining 200 yen on the fee display unit 19 as shown in FIG. Since it is impossible to accept the 500 yen coin of the maximum denomination, the display mark of the 500 yen coin is turned off, and the display marks of other 5 denominations other than the 500 yen coin are turned on.

  Subsequently, if a 100-yen coin is selected and inserted into the third denomination that the customer throws in, the balance of the exchange fee will be 100 yen, and the temporary holding unit 26 will receive two 500-yen coins and a 100-yen coin 1 A total of 3 sheets are put on hold and waiting for the remaining 100 yen. In this case, the fee display unit 19 of the fee collection device 17 lights and displays the remaining 100 yen, and the reception denomination display unit 20 cannot accept the maximum denomination of 500 yen coins. The display mark is turned off, and the display marks of other five denominations other than the 500 yen coin are turned on.

  In this case, if a 500 yen coin is mistakenly inserted into the third denomination inserted by the customer, the accumulated fee including the 500 yen coin will exceed the set fee, resulting in fishing. At that time, the 500-yen coins that have been thrown in after being accepted are returned to the return port 18 via the reject route L2.

  Finally, if the customer selects and inserts a 100 yen coin as the fourth denomination, the balance of the exchange fee will be 0 yen, and the control unit 61 will confirm that the amount entered has reached the set fee. . Then, the temporary holding unit 26 temporarily holds four 500 yen coins and two 100 yen coins, and waits for collection of these reserved coins. In this case, the fee display unit 19 of the fee collection device 17 lights up the remaining 0 yen, and the reception denomination display unit 20 turns off all six denomination display marks to indicate that the acceptance of coins has already been completed. ing.

  In this way, when the coins are inserted one by one and the accumulated charge finally reached 1200 yen, which is the set fee for the exchange fee, the acceptance of the exchange fee is completed. Based on this, the exchange transaction corresponding to the exchange fee of 1200 yen on the exchange machine 11 side is allowed.

Next, the exchange processing operation of the money changer 11 provided with the fee collection device 17 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Now, when a customer makes a money exchange transaction using the money changer 11, first, the customer deposits the money exchange money according to the display guidance displayed on the display 16 (step n1).

Following this deposit operation, input the details of the exchange transaction such as the amount and number of money to be exchanged, and when the setting of the input operation is completed (step n2)
The control unit 61 calculates an exchange fee according to the contents of the exchange transaction (step n3).

  The fee collection device 17 informs the customer of the calculation result of the exchange fee and starts collection. When the collection of the exchange fee is completed, the transaction proceeds to the exchange transaction (step n4).

  When the exchange transaction is executed and the transaction is completed, the exchange money requested by the customer is withdrawn (step n5).

  On the other hand, the money exchange money is collected inside the money changer 11, and the fee collection device 17 collects the money exchange fee inside (step n6).

  After confirming that the last exchanged money has been extracted by the customer, the exchange transaction is completed (step n7).

Next, the exchange fee collection operation in the fee collection device 17 corresponding to step n4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the customer inputs a transaction amount to be exchanged, the set fee of the exchange fee corresponding to this is displayed on the fee display unit 19 of the fee collection device 17 as, for example, 600 yen as shown in FIG. In addition, the acceptance denomination display unit 20 displays the display of the denomination permitted denomination (step n11).

  When the exchange fee is inserted, the control unit 61 lights up the remaining amount on the fee display unit 19, and the reception denomination display unit 20 turns off the display mark of the denomination for which acceptance is restricted, and requires change. The acceptance of the denomination is restricted (step n12).

  At this time, the denomination permitted to be accepted is turned on by displaying a display mark of the denomination permitted to be accepted in the accepted denomination display unit 20 (step n13).

  Looking at this display guide, the customer selects a denomination permitted to be inserted and inserts the coins one by one into the insertion slot 21 (step n14).

If the denomination inserted into the insertion slot 21 is quarantined by the quarantine unit 25, based on the quarantine result, the control unit 61 determines that the accumulated denomination is an acceptable denomination that does not exceed the set fee (step n15),
The control unit 61 calculates the remaining exchange fee, and displays and guides the calculated balance to the fee display unit 19 (step n16).

Then, coins are inserted one by one until the set fee of the preset exchange fee is reached and temporarily held, and when the temporary reserve matches the exchange fee and reaches the set fee (step n17),
Since the set fee set in advance for the exchange fee has been accepted, the acceptance of the coin is completed and the collection of the exchange fee is completed (step n18).

  By the way, in step n15 described above, when it is detected that a denomination for which acceptance of the accumulated charge exceeds the set charge has been inserted, the acceptance is restricted and the reject route L2 To return to the return port 18 (step n19).

  As described above, since only the denomination that does not cause change is deposited and the exchange fee is collected, it is possible to construct a fee collection device that is reduced in size and omits the preparation fee and change of the change. In particular, even if the fee collection device is integrated with the money changer, it is possible to collect the exchange fee independently and avoid the coins handled by the money changer and the coins handled by the fee collection device. The amount of money will not change, and only the fee collected by the fee collection device will increase, making it easy to manage and manage money.
