Description

  The present invention relates to a cash management device and a cash management system that are installed in retail stores such as department stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores, and that manage sales and the like stored in a register.

  Conventional cash management devices and cash management systems have a gross profit storage section for storing gross profit and an operating money storage section for storing change reserves as in-store operating money, and are used to input sales proceeds from stores. Acceptance, cash equivalent to gross profit is stored in the gross profit storage section, and other cash is stored in the operating money storage section so that security company staff etc. do not need to bring change reserves (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

  In addition, it has a change storage for storing change reserves and a sales storage for storing sales, accepts the input of cash collected from the store's register, and has a storage standard set in the change storage in advance. In some cases, cash in the amount is stored in the change storage, and cash exceeding the storage standard amount is stored in the sales receipt storage department, so that security company personnel etc. do not need to bring change reserves (for example, Patent Document 2).

Furthermore, some cash such as coins are preferentially stored in the change storage, and some money denominations such as banknotes are stored preferentially in the sales storage. (For example, refer to Patent Document 3).
JP 2004-54456 A (paragraph “0029” to paragraph “0034”, FIG. 6) JP 2005-38062 A (paragraph “0039” to paragraph “0052”, FIG. 5) JP 2002-74467 A (page 4, FIG. 2)

  However, in the above-described conventional technology, there is a limit to the number and capacity of the sales deposit storage that can be loaded and loaded by a security company staff, etc., with the sales deposit storage storing banknotes such as sales and cash of coins. Although it is intended to be transported to a management center by a collection and delivery vehicle, banknotes and coins are stored in separate sales revenue storages, especially when banknotes are stored preferentially in the sales revenue storage. In addition, there is a problem that even if it is a sales deposit storage with a small number of coins, it must be collected, and the collection efficiency becomes low.

Moreover, although it is necessary to count the banknotes and coins stored in the collected sales storage in the management center or the like, there is a problem that an operation for counting both the banknotes and coins occurs to the staff, and the work load is increased. .
An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

  For this reason, the present invention counts the cash of bills and coins inserted from the cash slot, and stores the cash of the storage reference amount for each preset change denomination as the change reserve, the cash exceeding the storage reference amount being sold. In a cash management device that stores money, a coin change storage that stores coins with a storage reference amount and coins that exceed the storage reference amount, a banknote change storage that stores a storage reference amount of bills as a change reserve, and storage A banknote safe for storing banknotes that store banknotes that store banknotes that store banknotes that store banknotes that exceed banknotes and that do not exceed the storage standard price and do not exceed the amount of coins stored in the coin change storage. The amount of money that could not be converted into a carry-over money is calculated and stored in the storage unit, and the banknotes obtained by removing the carry-over money calculated by the carry-over money calculation means from the sales amount are stored in the banknote safe. It was paid, characterized in that to be able to recover the bills.

According to the present invention thus constructed, only the banknote safe in which banknotes are stored is collected from the cash management device, and the effect that the collection efficiency of cash can be improved without requiring the collection of coins is obtained.

  A store that uses a cash management system deposits a change deposit to the general management company, while a change denomination used as change (in this example, 5,000 yen, 2,000 yen, thousand yen banknotes and 500 yen) , 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, 1 yen coin), and into each register 2 before opening the store in consideration of the store's business condition, date, day of the week, time zone, and product composition of the sales floor The number of change reserves to be set is set as a plurality of withdrawal patterns, which are stored in the storage unit 12 of the cash management apparatus 1 and registered.

In addition, change in consideration of the sales volume of the store, the number of registers 2, the periodic replenishment interval of the change storage, and temporary increases in change reserves due to external factors such as holding nearby events. For each type, a storage reference amount that is the upper limit of the denomination that is normally stored in the bill change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 is set and stored in the storage unit 12 and registered.
Then, when the cash management device 1 is installed in the store, the banknote corresponding to the storage reference amount for each change denomination supplied from the deposit by the general management company in the banknote change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35. And a coin (referred to as a change allowance) are filled, and the bill safe 25 and the coin safe 37 are empty.

FIG. 4 shows the operation of the withdrawal process of the change reserve before opening by the cash management device 1 in which the banknote change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 are filled with banknotes and coins of the storage reference amount in this way. A description will be given according to the steps indicated by S using the flowchart.
S1, the store clerk who prepares change before opening the store selects the withdrawal process from the operation key 15a of the input unit 15, and presses down the operation key 15a.

S2, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 that has detected this displays a message to prompt the insertion of the ID card on the display unit 13, and displays the ID card provided by the store clerk as the card reader of the cash management apparatus 1. 14, the main control unit 11 detects this and accepts the ID card, and the card reader 14 reads the ID card information recorded on the ID card.
S3, the main control unit 11 that has read the ID card information determines the validity of the ID card, and if the ID card is valid, the store employee is permitted to withdraw the change reserve by the read ID card code. It is determined that the person is a qualified person, and the process proceeds to step S4.

If it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not a qualified person for change payment withdrawal, the fact is displayed on the display unit 13 and the withdrawal process is terminated.
S4, the main control unit 11 having determined that the ID card is valid, etc., inputs a plurality of change patterns of change reserves registered in the storage unit 12 in the display unit 13 and the number of change types of change denominations. Display the withdrawal breakdown input screen displaying the fields.

The store clerk inputs one item of withdrawal by selecting one of the withdrawal patterns of change reserves or by inputting the number of withdrawals for each denomination using the numeric keypad 15b.
S5, the main control unit 11 that recognizes the denomination to be withdrawn and the number of the denominations by inputting the withdrawal pattern or the number of each denomination counts the designated number of banknotes corresponding to the denomination from the bill change storage 24. The coins corresponding to the denomination are counted and fed out from the coin change storage box 35 and fed to the coin dispensing port 36 for accumulation.

S6, the main control unit 11 having finished the accumulation of banknotes and coins (when these are collectively referred to as cash), opened the banknote shutter 21a of the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and finished the accumulation of cash on the display unit 13. The clerk takes out the cash accumulated in the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin dispensing / dispensing port 36.
S 7, the main control unit 11 confirming the withdrawal of cash closes the bill shutter 21 a and creates withdrawal information, and transmits it to the central information processing device 6 at the center via the management terminal 3 and the communication line 5. (The operation of the central information processing device 6 will be described later).

  Withdrawal information includes the date and time when the withdrawal process was performed, the withdrawal code that is the processing code indicating that the withdrawal process was executed, the number and total amount of money for each withdrawal type, and the time of the withdrawal operation. Withdrawal log data indicating a chart, a building code indicating a building where the cash management device 1 is installed, a cash management device number code of the cash management device 1 and an ID card which is an employee code or ID card code read from an ID card Consists of ID card information such as a withdrawal code.

S8, the main control unit 11 that has finished sending the withdrawal information, forms a slip that describes the contents of the withdrawal process that has been executed, such as the ID card information, the number of moneys withdrawn and the total amount, etc. The store clerk receives this slip.
Thereafter, the store clerk carries the taken-out cash to the register 2 in charge, sets it in the register 2 and waits for the customer to come to the store.

S9, the main control unit 11 that issued the slip confirms the remaining amount of the bill change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 by denomination, and if the remaining amount of at least one denomination is less than the near-end reference value, the change It is determined that replenishment of the storage is necessary, and the process proceeds to step S10. If all denominations exceed the near-end standard value, the withdrawal process is terminated.
S 10, the main control unit 11 that has determined that the change storage needs to be replenished creates near-end information and sends it to the central information processing device 6 of the center via the management terminal 3 and the communication line 5 to perform withdrawal processing. Terminate.

The near end information includes a date and time when the necessity for replenishment is determined, a near end code which is a processing code indicating a near end of change, a remaining number of cash denominations, a building code, a cash management device code, and the like.
In the store that has started business after the above-mentioned change reserve withdrawal process, if there is a shortage of cash in the register 2 due to unforeseen circumstances, the store clerk withdraws cash from the cash management device 1 (on the way) It is called withdrawal.)

In this case, the store clerk performs the withdrawal process so as to input the number of denominations to be replenished in step S4. Since other operations are the same as the operation of the withdrawal process, the description thereof is omitted.
If the sales amount stored in the register 2 increases in the middle of business, and the cash in the register 2 becomes large, the store clerk uses the cash in the cash register 1 to make cash handling more efficient and to prevent crime. Deposit money (referred to as intermediate deposit).

In addition, the store clerk performs a closing work after the store is closed. At this time, the sales amount of the day is output from the register 2, and the store clerk takes out the cash stored in the register 2 (a mixture of sales and change reserves) and brings it to the cash management device 1. To make a deposit (referred to as a closing deposit).
Below, the operation | movement of the money_receiving | payment process of the intermediate | middle payment and the closing payment by the cash management apparatus 1 in a 1st Example is demonstrated according to the step shown by SA using the flowchart shown in FIG.

SA1, the store clerk who makes the deposit selects the deposit process from the operation key 15a of the input unit 15, and presses the operation key 15a.
SA2, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 that detects this prompts the insertion of the ID card in the same manner as in step S2 of the withdrawal process, and accepts this when the store clerk inserts the ID card into the card reader 14. To read the ID card information.

  SA3, the main control unit 11 that has read the ID card information determines the validity of the ID card in the same manner as in step S3 of the withdrawal process, and if the ID card is valid, the deposit is permitted by the ID card code. It is determined that the person is a qualified person, and the process proceeds to step SA4. If it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not qualified for depositing, the fact is displayed on the display unit 13 and the depositing process is terminated.

SA4, the main control unit 11 that has determined that the ID card is valid, and the like displays a message that prompts the user to insert cash on the display unit 13, as well as the bill shutter 21 a of the bill deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin deposit port 31. The coin shutter 31a is opened to accept cash from the store clerk.
The store clerk distinguishes between banknotes and coins for intermediate deposit or closing deposit, and puts them into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin deposit port 31.

SA5, the main control unit 11 that has detected the insertion of cash closes the bill shutter 21a and the coin shutter 31a, and counts the inserted cash.
That is, the main control unit 11 conveys the bills inserted into the bill deposit / withdrawal port 21 to the bill discriminating unit 22, discriminates the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the bills and counts them for each denomination. A banknote is conveyed to the banknote temporary storage part 23, and is stored temporarily. At this time, the banknote discriminated from a defective banknote such as a fake ticket is conveyed to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and returned to the store clerk.

Also, the coins inserted into the coin deposit / withdrawal port 31 are transported to the coin discriminating section 32, the true / false of the coins, the denominations, etc. are discriminated and counted for each denomination, and the identified coins are temporarily stored in the coins. Transport to 34 and temporarily store in denomination. At this time, the coins identified as defective coins such as fake coins are conveyed to the coin reject port 33 and returned to the store clerk.
When only banknotes such as 10,000-yen bills are inserted as in the case of intermediate deposit, the main control unit 11 closes the coin shutter 31a after a predetermined time and omits counting of coins.

SA6, having finished counting cash, the main control unit 11 displays on the display unit 13 a count result confirmation screen displaying a count result for each denomination and a word prompting confirmation.
When the clerk determines that the displayed counting result is correct, the clerk presses “YES” with the operation key 15 a of the input unit 15. The main control unit 11 that has detected this recognizes that the counting result has been confirmed, and proceeds to step SA8.

When it is determined that the displayed counting result and the cash brought by the clerk do not match, “NO” is pressed by the operation key 15 a of the input unit 15. The main control unit 11 that has detected this recognizes this as a return request and proceeds to step SA7.
SA7, The main control unit 11 that has recognized the return request transports the banknote temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 23 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 34 to the coin dispensing port 36. The cash input is returned to the clerk, the receipt of the clerk is confirmed, and the deposit process is terminated. After that, the clerk confirms the returned cash and executes the deposit process again.

  SA8, the main control unit 11 recognizing that the counting result has been confirmed, displays a sales input screen displaying a word and an input column for prompting the input of the sales amount on the display unit 13, and displays the sales amount to the store clerk. The salesclerk refers to the sales amount output from the register 2 and inputs the sales amount with the numeric keypad 15b of the input unit 15. As a result, the main control unit 11 recognizes the sales amount, stores it in the storage unit 12, and proceeds to step SA9.

In addition, since there is no sales amount to be input in the deposit process of midway deposit, the store clerk presses “NO” with the operation key 15b. As a result, the main control unit 11 recognizes the sales as “0”, omits the input, and proceeds to step SA9.
SA 9, the main control unit 11 creates sales information based on the input sales (“0” in the case of mid-term deposit) and creates deposit information, which is sent to the center via the management terminal 3 and the communication line 5. To the central information processing device 6.

The deposit information includes the date and time when the deposit process was performed, the deposit code that is a process code indicating that the deposit process was executed, the number of deposits for each denomination and the total amount, and deposit log data indicating the time chart of the deposit operation. , Building code, cash management device machine code, ID card information, etc.
SA 10, the main control unit 11 that has finished sending the deposit information and the like, uses the slip printing unit 16 to send a slip describing the contents of the executed deposit process, such as the ID card information, the number of each deposited money type and the total amount of money. The store clerk receives this slip and finishes the deposit operation.

SA11, the main control unit 11 that issued the slip stores the cash temporarily held in the temporary holding unit in the change storage.
That is, the main control unit 11 transports the banknote temporarily held in the banknote temporary storage unit 23 to the banknote discrimination unit 22 again, discriminates the denominations and the like of the banknotes, counts them for each denomination, and discriminates the banknotes identified. Are banknotes other than change denominations (in this example, 10,000 yen bills) are transported to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denominations. If the identified banknotes are change denominations, banknote change The bills are transported to the storage 24 and stored by denomination, that is, bills of high denomination are preferentially transported to the bill safe 25 and stored by denomination.

In addition, all coins temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 34 by denomination (coins of the storage reference amount and coins exceeding the storage reference amount) are transferred from the coin temporary storage unit 34 to the coin change storage of each denomination. Release to 35 and store in denomination.
SA12, the main control unit 11 storing cash in the change storage unit checks the storage amounts of the banknote change storage unit 24 and the coin change storage unit 35 for each denomination and checks each type of change denomination registered in the storage unit 12. Compared with the storage reference amount, banknotes of denomination exceeding the storage reference amount, that is, surplus banknotes are conveyed to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denomination.

  In addition, for coins of denominations that exceed the storage reference amount, banknotes corresponding to amounts exceeding the storage reference amount (if the amounts do not match, banknotes corresponding to the amount not exceeding the amount, for example storage reference When the total amount of coins of denomination exceeding the amount is 1200 yen, one thousand-yen bill) is conveyed to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denomination. That is, the amount corresponding to the surplus coin is changed to a coin and conveyed to the banknote safe 25 by banknotes and stored in denominations.

At this time, banknotes of high denominations are preferentially conveyed to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denominations.
SA13, The main control unit 11 (carry forward calculation means) that has finished storing the surplus in the cash safe calculates the amount of the carry forward and stores it in the storage unit 12.
Here, the carry-over money refers to a coin that cannot be stored in a denomination by being transferred to the banknote safe 25 with a banknote instead of a coin, out of the amount corresponding to the surplus coin. For example, when the total amount of coins of denominations exceeding the storage reference amount is 1200 yen, 200 yen that cannot be replaced with banknotes is carried over.

In addition, the amount of money carried forward shall be memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 12 for every money_receiving | payment process.
SA14, the main control unit 11 having the carry-over amount stored in the storage unit 12 checks the storage amount of the banknote safe 25 and the coin safe 37, and if the storage amount of at least one denomination exceeds the near full reference value. It determines with the collection | recovery of cash being required, and transfers to step SA15. If all denominations are below the near full standard value, the deposit process is terminated.

SA15, the main control unit 11 that has determined that cash collection in the cash safe is necessary creates near-full information, transmits it to the central information processing device 6 of the center via the management terminal 3 and the communication line 5, and ends the deposit process Let
The near full information is constituted by the date and time when the necessity of collection is determined, the near full code which is a processing code indicating the near full of cash, the number of pieces stored for each cash denomination, the building code, the cash management apparatus number code, and the like.

Note that the banknotes stored in the banknote safe 25 may be stored in the banknote safe 25 with mixed denominations. As a result, the structure of the banknote safe 25 can be simplified, and the storage amount of the banknote safe 25 can be increased, and the cash collection cycle described later can be set longer.
As described above, in principle, the change denomination banknotes and coins collected from the register 2 are circulated and stored in the change storage, and the banknotes and coins corresponding to the storage reference amount are stored. The cash stored in the change storage of the cash management apparatus 1 and the cash safe after the closing of all the registers 2 is always the initial allowance for change and the total amount of sales. Become.

By the way, the total amount of cash collected from the register 2 in the closing deposit is composed of the initial change reserve and the sales of the register 2 (if the deposit was made on the way and the withdrawal was made on the way, the amount increased or decreased). However, the denominations withdrawn as change reserves change variously when the product price is settled, and the breakdown of the denomination changes after closing.
Accordingly, the cash stored in the change storage of the cash management apparatus 1 after the closing is often used as change such as 100 yen coin, 10 yen coin, 1 yen coin, etc., but may be paid as a commodity price. In the case of few denominations, the denominations in the change storage are stored in a shortage.

At this time, the amount corresponding to the shortage of the change storage, that is, the amount stored in the cash safe among the cash withdrawn as change reserves is stored in other denominations such as 10,000 yen bills and thousand yen bills. In addition, it is stored in a cash safe.
Below, the operation | movement of the closing process by the cash management apparatus 1 in a 1st Example is demonstrated according to the step shown by SB using the flowchart of FIG.

SB1, the store manager, for example, the store manager, selects the closing process from the operation key 15a of the input unit 15 and presses down the operation key 15a after the process of depositing all the registers 2 is completed.
SB2, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 that detects this prompts the insertion of the ID card in the same manner as in step S2 of the withdrawal process, and when the store manager inserts the ID card into the card reader 14, the main control unit 11 accepts this and reads the ID card information.

  The main control unit 11 that has read the SB3 and ID card information determines the validity of the ID card in the same manner as in step S3 of the withdrawal process, and if the ID card is valid, permits the tightening process using the ID card code. It is determined that the person is a qualified person, and the process proceeds to step SB4. When it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not a qualified person for the tightening process, the fact is displayed on the display unit 13 and the tightening process is terminated.

The main control unit 11 that has determined that the SB 4 and the ID card are valid creates closing information and carry-over information, and transmits the information to the central information processing device 6 in the center via the management terminal 3 and the communication line 5. To do.
The closing information includes the date and time when the closing process was performed, the closing code that is a processing code indicating that the closing process was executed, the closing log data indicating the time chart of the closing operation, the building code, the cash management apparatus number code, and the ID card information. Etc.

The carry-forward information is constituted by the accumulated amount of the carry-forward calculated by the deposit process performed from the previous closing process to the current closing process.
The central information processing device 6 that has received the closing information and the carry-over money information totals the cash movement in the store from the previous closing process to the current closing process, and uses this as cash transfer information as the cash management apparatus of the transmission source. 1 (step SC14 in FIG. 7 described later).

  SB5, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 that has received the cash transfer information, stores the sales amount of the store between the previous closing process and the current closing process based on the cash transfer information, and for each denominated money type. The sales amount by number and employee code (corresponding to each register 2) and the number of each denomination are displayed on the display unit 13, and the store manager confirms the displayed contents and operates the operation keys of the input unit 15. “YES” is pressed by 15a.

SB 6, the main control unit 11 detecting this, recognizes that the sales amount has been confirmed, and transmits a confirmation notification to the central information processing device 6.
SB7, the main control unit 11 that has transmitted the confirmation notification prints and issues a slip that includes the received cash transfer information and the ID card information of the store manager who performed the closing process by the slip printing unit 16, and the store manager issues the slip. After confirming that it has been received, the closing process is terminated.

The operation of the business process of the central information processing apparatus 6 that has received various information from the cash management apparatus 1 as described above will be described according to the steps indicated by SC using the flowchart shown in FIG.
SC1 and central information processing device 6 are waiting for the arrival of various information from cash management device 1, and when information is received, the process proceeds to step SC3. If no information is received, the process proceeds to step SC2.

SC2, the central information processing device 6 determines the end of the business time by using the timer function. If it is during the business time, the process returns to step SC1 to continue the above standby, and if the business time is over, the business processing is performed. End.
If the processing code of the received information is the withdrawal code (withdrawal information), the process proceeds to step SC4. In the case of another processing code, the process proceeds to step SC5.

SC4, the central information processing device 6 that has received the withdrawal information classifies the withdrawal information by the building code and the cash management device number code and stores them in the company information database 6a, and returns to step SC1 to wait for the arrival of information. And wait.
If the processing code of the received information is the deposit code (payment information), the process proceeds to step SC6. In the case of other processing codes, the process proceeds to step SC7.

SC6, the central information processing device 6 that has received the payment information classifies the payment information and sales information by building code and cash management device number code and stores them in the company information database 6a, and returns to step SC1 to receive the information. Wait and wait.
SC7, the central information processing device 6 proceeds to step SC8 when the processing code of the received information is a near-end code (near-end information). In the case of another processing code, the process proceeds to step SC11.

  SC8, the central information processing device 6 that has received the near-end information identifies the store contracted by the building code, and replenishes each denomination to be replenished from the remaining number of cash denominations within the range of the deposit of the store Calculate the number of sheets, deduct the replenishment amount, which is the total amount, from the change account book in the company information database 6a, update the change account book, and also withdraw money to a financial institution such as a bank that has a change account And withdraw the replenishment amount from the change account.

SC9, the central information processing device 6 withdrawing the replenishment amount gives a replenishment instruction consisting of the building code of the near-end information, the cash management device number code, the bank code of the bank of the change account, the number of replenishment for each denomination, etc. Transmit to the management center 10.
The regional terminal 10 which has received the replenishment instruction displays the contents, and the person in charge of collection / delivery receives the replenishment number of cash from the bank of the bank code by the collection / delivery vehicle 9 and replenishes the cash management device 1 with change (the replenishment operation will be described later). To do.)

SC10, the central information processing device 6 that has sent the replenishment instruction, receives the near-end processing information attached with the date and time when the change book was updated and the number of replenishment for each denomination in the received near-end information, and the building code and cash management device number code Based on this information, it is stored in the company information database 6a, and the process returns to step SC1 to wait for the arrival of information.
When the processing code of the received information is near full code (near full information), the process proceeds to step SC12. If another processing code, that is, a closing code (tightening information), the process proceeds to step SC14.

SC12, the central information processing device 6 that has received near-full information determines the denomination to be collected from the number of stored cash denominations, and consists of the denomination and near-full information building code, cash management device number code, etc. The collected instruction is transmitted to the regional management center 10.
The regional terminal 10 that has received the collection instruction displays the contents, and the person in charge of collection / delivery goes to the store of the cash management apparatus 1 by the collection / delivery vehicle 9 to collect the denomination to be collected (the operation of the collection will be described later).

SC13, the central information processing device 6 that transmitted the collection instruction stores nearfull processing information in which the denomination to be collected is attached to the received nearfull information in the company information database 6a based on the building code and the cash management device number code. The process returns to step SC1, and waits for the arrival of information.
SC14, the central information processing device 6 that has received the closing information receives the deposit information, withdrawal information, and sales information from the previous closing process to the current closing process of the building code in the company information database 6a based on the received building code. Extract all, sum up the sales of the store based on the sales information, total the number of each denominated money based on the number of each denomination in the deposit information, and then sales by employee code Cash transfer information composed of the height and the number of each denomination, the history of the deposit process and withdrawal process executed during this period, the date and time when the closing information was received, etc. (Step SB5 in FIG. 6).

At this time, it is assumed that the carry forward information is not included in the cash transfer information.
In step SC15, the central information processing apparatus waits for reception of a confirmation notification from the cash management apparatus 1 (step SB6 in FIG. 6), and recognizes that sales and the like have been confirmed by receiving the confirmation notification.
SC16, the central information processing device 6 identifies the store contracted with reference to the building code of the closing information or the company code of the ID card information, and searches the account information file stored in the company information database 6a based on this Then, the sales account information of the corresponding store is extracted, and the confirmed sales amount is transferred to the sales account of the bank 8.

At this time, the carry-over money included in the sales will be borrowed from the bank 8 by the supervising management company or replaced by the supervising management company.
The bank 8 that has accepted the transfer to the sales account notifies the store, which is the account opener, that the sales have been transferred.
SC17, the central information processing device 6 that has finished the transfer of the sales totals the amount deposited into the cash management device 1 based on the deposit information, calculates the change amount by subtracting the sales from this deposit amount, Transfer the change amount to the change account.

  SC18, the central information processing device 6 that has finished the transfer of the change amount transfers the cash transfer information and the date and time of the transfer to the received closing information, the sales account information and the transfer amount, and the change amount The deadline processing information to which the date and time and the amount of transfer are attached is stored in the company information database 6a based on the building code and the cash management apparatus machine code, and the process returns to step SC1 and waits for the arrival of information.

In this way, the sales amount of the store and the amount of change are transferred, but since this deposit is paid in advance by the general management company, the cash is collected from the cash management device 1 in which the actual cash is stored. There is a need to.
For this reason, the general management company periodically collects and replenishes the cash of the cash management apparatus 1 in addition to the sudden collection and replenishment by the above-mentioned near-full information and near-end information by the regional management center.

When collecting and replenishing the cash of the cash management apparatus 1 regularly, the person in charge of collection / delivery from the regional management center brings an empty bill safe cassette to be mounted after the collection of cash by the collection / delivery vehicle 9 and cash for replenishment. Then go around the corresponding stores and do as follows.
When collecting cash from the cash management apparatus 1, the person in charge of collection / delivery selects the collection process from the operation key 15a of the input unit 15 and presses down the operation key 15a. In the same manner as in step S2, the ID card is urged to be inserted, and when the ID card brought by the person in charge of collection / delivery is inserted into the card reader 14, the ID card information is received and the same as in step S3 of the withdrawal process. Then, it is confirmed that the ID card is valid and is a qualified person who is permitted to collect with the ID card code.

After confirming the validity of the ID card, the main control unit 11 can transport the banknotes stored in the banknote change storage 24 to the banknote safe 25 and store them, and then unlock the electronic lock and unlock the collection door 38. And
The person in charge of collection / unloading unlocks the collection door with a key or the like possessed, takes out the banknote safe cassette mounted on the banknote safe 25, attaches the empty banknote safe cassette that it brings, and locks the collection door 38.
Upon detecting this, the main control unit 11 locks the electronic lock or the like of the collection door 38, prints and issues the collection process on a slip in the same manner as in step S8 of the withdrawal process, and receives the collection and delivery person. Confirm and end the collection process.

Since only the banknotes can be collected by this collection process, the carry-over money generated in each deposit process is still stored in the coin change storage box 35.
In the above collection processing, the case where the banknote safe cassette and the banknote change storage 24 are provided separately has been described. However, they may be combined to be used as the banknote safe cassette. Thereby, efficiency of collection processing can be improved and the cash management device 1 can be simplified.

  When replenishing cash into the bill change storage 24 that has been emptied in this way and the coin change storage 35 that has not reached the storage reference amount, the person in charge of delivery / recovery performs replenishment processing from the operation key 15a of the input unit 15. After selecting and depressing the operation key 15a, the main control unit 11 confirms the validity of the ID card and the like in the same manner as described above, and then the main control unit 11 performs the same as in step SA4 of the deposit process. The person in charge of collection and delivery puts the cash for replenishment brought into the cash deposit port.

  Thereafter, cash is counted in the same manner as in step SA5 of the depositing process, and the counting result is displayed. When the counting result is confirmed by the person in charge of collection and delivery, the main control unit 11 temporarily executes the same as in step SA11 of the depositing process. The cash temporarily held in the holding section is stored in the change storage, and the replenishment processing contents are printed and issued in a slip in the same manner as in step S8 of the withdrawal processing, and the receipt of the collection and delivery person is confirmed and replenished. End the process.

The collection using near-full information is the same as the above-described collection process, but the cash to be collected is to collect only the cash type cassette including the denomination that has become near-full or the denomination.
Replenishment by near-end information is similar to the above-described replenishment process, but only the denominations that have become near-end are replenished.
Furthermore, the change in the storage standard amount of the change denomination set by the store can be made at the request of the store, and the initial deposit amount is changed to accept an increase or decrease in the storage reference amount. .

Also, the cash collected by the above collection process is transported to the regional management center by the collection and delivery vehicle 9, and a portion of the collected cash is applied to the cash obtained by subtracting the carry forward from the sales that are paid in advance. The remaining cash is used for the change amount as it is collected for change of money. However, since the carry-over money has not been collected by the above collection process, it has been paid in advance. (The carry-over money may be borrowed from the bank 8 by the general management company.)
Here, the relationship among the sales amount, the carry-over money, the collection amount collected in the collection process, and the advance money that has been paid in advance will be described with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 8, when the sales amount is 16,600 yen and the carry-forward amount is 600 yen in the closing process on the first day, the general management company collects the collected amount of 16,000 yen, which is the amount excluding the carry-forward amount from the sales amount. It can be collected by processing, and the advance payment on the first day of the general management company is 600 yen, and the accumulated advance is 600 yen.
Next, in the closing process on the second day, when the sales amount is 21,600 yen and the carryforward is 600 yen, the general management company collects the collected amount of 21,000 yen, which is the amount excluding the carryover amount from the sales. The amount of advance payment on the second day of the general management company is 600 yen, and the accumulated advance is 1,200 yen.

Similarly, if the sales amount is 14,600 yen and the carry-forward is 600 yen in the closing process on the third day, the recovered amount is 14,000 yen, the advance is 600 yen, and the accumulated advance is 1,800 yen. If the sales amount is 16,600 yen and the carry-forward is 600 yen in the closing process on the fourth day, the recovered amount is 16,000 yen, the advance is 600 yen, and the accumulated advance is 2,400 yen.
Therefore, the supervising management company collects the accumulated carryforward (cumulative advance) that has been paid in advance as a part of the maintenance cost separately from the contracted store.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the amount corresponding to the coin exceeding the storage reference amount is exchanged for a bill and stored in the bill safe, and the coin that cannot be exchanged for the bill is stored as a carry-over coin change storage. By collecting only the banknote safe in which banknotes are stored from the cash management device, it is possible to improve the recovery efficiency by eliminating the need for coin recovery.

Moreover, since only the banknotes accommodated in the collected banknote safe have to be counted at the management center or the like, an effect that the burden on the staff can be reduced can be obtained.
Furthermore, since the cash management apparatus does not require a coin collecting mechanism, the apparatus can be reduced in size and price.
In addition, since the central management company does not need to collect coins, it is possible to provide services such as sales collection and change reserve replenishment at a low price.

Since the configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.
The operation of the configuration of the second embodiment will be described.
The cash management system is operated from the central information processing device 6 installed in the center of the general management company, and the central management company contracts with multiple stores to collect sales proceeds, transfer them to the sales account, and supply change On the other hand, a security guard is dispatched to the store in response to an alarm transmitted from the management terminal 3 of the store contracted by the security information processing apparatus 7, and crime prevention and disaster prevention are also managed.

The general management company deposits a deposit to be applied to change from the contracted store, deposits it into a change account and manages it, and deposits the store in the company information database 6a of the central information processing device 6. A change ledger for managing the balance and a carry-over deposit book for managing the carry-over are provided.
Here, the carry-over money is a coin to be used as sales money in the deposit process, but means the amount of coins stored in the coin change storage box 35.

Further, the company information database 6a of the central information processing apparatus 6 is provided with an account information file for storing the bank name and account number of the sales account of the store for transferring the sales of the contracted store as sales account information. ing.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the store manager, the store clerk, and the person in charge of collection and delivery are provided with a company code for identifying a company or store with which a contract has been made in advance, a store code for identifying the store, and possession of an ID card. ID card information such as an employee ID code for identifying a store manager, a store clerk, and a person in charge of collection and delivery, and an ID card code for identifying a qualified person for processing such as deposit, withdrawal, closing and replenishment ID card that records is issued.

  A store that uses a cash management system deposits a change deposit to the general management company, while a change denomination used as change (in this example, 5,000 yen, 2,000 yen, thousand yen banknotes and 500 yen) , 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, 1 yen coin), and into each register 2 before opening the store in consideration of the store's business condition, date, day of the week, time zone, and product composition of the sales floor The number of change reserves to be set is set as a plurality of withdrawal patterns, which are stored in the storage unit 12 of the cash management apparatus 1 and registered.

In addition, change in consideration of the sales volume of the store, the number of registers 2, the periodic replenishment interval of the change storage, and temporary increases in change reserves due to external factors such as holding nearby events. For each type, a storage reference amount that is the upper limit of the denomination that is normally stored in the bill change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 is set and stored in the storage unit 12 and registered.
Then, when the cash management device 1 is installed in the store, the banknote corresponding to the storage reference amount for each change denomination supplied from the deposit by the general management company in the banknote change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35. And a coin (referred to as a change allowance) are filled, and the bill safe 25 and the coin safe 37 are empty.

In this way, the banknote change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 are filled with banknotes and coins having a storage reference amount in the cash management apparatus 1 as in the first embodiment.
Note that the operations of the cash management device 1 for the change processing of the change reserve before opening the store, the intermediate payment and the payment processing for the closing payment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
Below, the operation | movement of the fastening process by the cash management apparatus 1 in a 2nd Example is demonstrated according to the step shown by SD using the flowchart of FIG.

After the completion of the payment process of the SD1 and all the registers 2, the person in charge of the store, for example, the store manager, selects the closing process from the operation key 15 a of the input unit 15 and presses the operation key 15 a.
SD2, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 that detects this prompts the insertion of the ID card in the same manner as in step S2 of the withdrawal process of the first embodiment, and the store manager sends the ID card to the card reader 14. When inserted, the main control unit 11 accepts this and reads the ID card information.

  The main control unit 11 that has read the SD3 and ID card information determines the validity of the ID card in the same manner as in step S3 of the withdrawal process of the first embodiment, and if the ID card is valid, the ID It is determined that the person is a qualified person who is permitted to perform the tightening process using the card code, and the process proceeds to step SD4. When it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not a qualified person for the tightening process, the fact is displayed on the display unit 13 and the tightening process is terminated.

SD4, the main control unit 11 (carrying-over money accumulating means) that has determined that the ID card is valid, etc. totals the amount of the carrying-over money stored in the storage unit 12 in step SA13 of the depositing process, and performs the previous closing process. The accumulated amount of the carry forward calculated in the deposit process performed from the current to the current closing process is calculated and stored in the storage unit 12.
SD5, the main control unit 11 that has calculated the accumulated amount of the carry forward proceeds to the bill corresponding to the amount that can be replaced with the bill among the accumulated amount of the carry forward (for example, 2,000 if the accumulated amount is 2,300 yen). 2 bills corresponding to yen) are moved from the bill change storage 24 to the bill safe 25.

SD 6, the main control unit 11 that has moved the bill creates closing information and carry-over information, and transmits the information to the central information processing device 6 at the center via the management terminal 3 and the communication line 5.
The closing information includes the date and time when the closing process was performed, the closing code that is a processing code indicating that the closing process was executed, the closing log data indicating the time chart of the closing operation, the building code, the cash management apparatus number code, and the ID card information. Etc.

The carry-over money information is composed of the carry-over amount after the tightening process obtained by subtracting the amount converted into the bill from the cumulative amount of the carry-over money calculated in the deposit process performed from the previous closing process to the current closing process.
The central information processing device 6 that has received the closing information and the carry-over money information totals the cash movement in the store from the previous closing process to the current closing process, and uses this as cash transfer information as the cash management apparatus of the transmission source. 1 (step SC14 in FIG. 7).

  SD7, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 that has received the cash transfer information, stores the sales amount of the store between the last closing process and the current closing process based on the cash transfer information, and for each denominated money type. The sales amount by number and employee code (corresponding to each register 2) and the number of each denomination are displayed on the display unit 13, and the store manager confirms the displayed contents and operates the operation keys of the input unit 15. “YES” is pressed by 15a.

SD 8, the main control unit 11 detecting this, recognizes that the sales amount has been confirmed, and transmits a confirmation notification to the central information processing device 6.
SD9, the main control unit 11 that has transmitted the confirmation notification prints and issues a slip containing the received cash transfer information and the ID card information of the store manager who performed the closing process by the slip printing unit 16, and the store manager issues the slip. After confirming that it has been received, the closing process is terminated.

The business processing of the central information processing device 6, the collection processing of the cash management device 1, and the replenishment processing are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
In addition, the cash collected by the collection process is transported to the regional management center by the collection and delivery vehicle 9, and a portion of the collected cash is applied to the cash that is deducted from the sales that are paid in advance, The remaining cash is allocated to the change amount as it is collected for change of money. However, the carry-over money has not been collected in the collection process, so it has been paid in advance. (The carry-over money may be borrowed from the bank 8 by the general management company.)
Here, FIG. 10 shows the relationship between the sales amount, the balance carried forward, the amount of money carried over to the banknote in the closing process (banknote exchange amount), the balance carried over after the closing process (advanced money), and the amount collected in the collection process. Based on

In FIG. 10, when the sales amount is 16,600 yen and the carry-forward amount is 600 yen in the closing process on the first day, the general management company collects the collected amount of 16,000 yen, which is the amount excluding the carry-forward amount from the sales amount. It can be collected by processing, and the advance payment on the first day of the general management company is 600 yen, and the accumulated advance is 600 yen.
Next, in the closing process on the second day, if the sales amount is 21,600 yen and the carryforward is 600 yen, the accumulated carryover is 1,200 yen, and the banknote corresponding to 1,000 yen is From the bill change storage 24 to the bill safe 25, a coin of 1,000 yen (a bill exchange amount) is exchanged for a bill.

Therefore, the carry-over money after the closing process is 200 yen obtained by subtracting the banknote exchange amount 1,000 yen from the accumulated 1,200 yen of the carry-over money, and the banknote of 22,000 yen is collected in the collection process.
Since the amount collected is higher than the sales amount, there is no need for the central management company to pay in advance. On the contrary, the central management company collects the amount of 400 yen that excludes the sales amount from the collected amount as the advance payment for the previous day. And the accumulated advance on the second day is 200 yen.

If the sales amount is 14,600 yen and the carry-over is 600 yen in the closing process on the third day, the accumulated carry-over will be 800 yen, but it cannot be exchanged for banknotes. Excluding the amount of 14,000 yen, the 3rd day advance payment of the general management company will be 600 yen, and the cumulative advance will be 800 yen.
If the sales amount is 16,600 yen and the carry-over is 600 yen in the closing process on the fourth day, the accumulated carry-over is 1,400 yen, and coins equivalent to 1,000 yen are exchanged for banknotes. Then, 400 yen obtained by subtracting the banknote exchange amount of 1,000 yen from the accumulated 1,400 yen of the carryforward is the carryover after the tightening process, and the banknote of 17,000 yen is collected.

As with the second day, the amount collected is higher than the sales amount, so the reimbursement amount for the general management company on the fourth day is 0 yen, and the amount of 400 yen, which excludes the sales amount from the amount collected, is replaced by the previous day. The central management company collects the money and the accumulated advance is 400 yen.
In this way, the supervising management company replaces the carry-over money after a low-cost tightening process that does not exceed the minimum amount (for example, 1,000 yen) of the banknote by exchanging the carry-over money for the banknote.

The supervising management company collects the carry-over money after the closing process, which is paid in advance, as a part of the maintenance cost from the contracted store.
As described above, in the second embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, there is an effect that the amount of replacement payment by the general management company can be suppressed to a low amount.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the store manager, the store clerk, and the person in charge of collection and delivery are provided with a company code for identifying a company or store with which a contract has been made in advance, a store code for identifying the store, and possession of an ID card. ID card information such as an employee ID code for identifying a store manager, a store clerk, and a person in charge of collection and delivery, and an ID card code for identifying a qualified person for processing such as deposit, withdrawal, closing and replenishment ID card that records is issued.

  A store that uses the cash management apparatus 1 deposits a deposit for change to the general management company, while a change denomination used as change (in this embodiment, 5,000 yen, 2,000 yen, thousand yen banknotes and 500 Each register 2 before opening the store in consideration of the store's business condition, date, day of the week, time zone, and product composition of the sales floor. The number of change reserves set for each denomination is set as a plurality of withdrawal patterns, which are stored in the storage unit 12 of the cash management apparatus 1 and registered.

In addition, change in consideration of the sales volume of the store, the number of registers 2, the periodic replenishment interval of the change storage, and temporary increases in change reserves due to external factors such as holding nearby events. For each type, a storage reference amount that is the upper limit of the denomination that is normally stored in the bill change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 is set and stored in the storage unit 12 and registered.
Then, when the cash management device 1 is installed in the store, the banknote corresponding to the storage reference amount for each change denomination supplied from the deposit by the general management company in the banknote change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35. And a coin (referred to as a change allowance) are filled, and the bill safe 25 and the coin safe 37 are empty.

FIG. 12 shows the operation of the withdrawal process of the change reserve before opening by the cash management apparatus 1 in which the banknote change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 are filled with the banknotes and coins of the storage reference amount in this way. Description will be made according to the steps indicated by SE using the flowchart.
SE1, the store clerk preparing change before opening the store selects the withdrawal process from the operation key of the input unit 205 of the register 2, and presses the operation key.

SE2, the main control unit 201 of the register 2 that has detected this displays a message prompting the insertion of the ID card on the display unit 203, and the store clerk inserts the ID card supplied to the card reader 204 of the register 2 The main control unit 201 detects this and accepts the ID card, and the card reader 204 reads the ID card information recorded on the ID card.
SE3, the main control unit 201 that has read the ID card information determines the validity of the ID card, and if the ID card is valid, the clerk is permitted to withdraw change reserve by the read ID card code. It is determined that the person is a qualified person, and the process proceeds to step SE4.

When it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not a qualified person for change money withdrawal, the fact is displayed on the display unit 203 and the withdrawal process is terminated.
SE4, the main control unit 201 that determines that the ID card is valid, etc., displays a plurality of change patterns of change reserves or change denominations that are registered in the storage unit 12 of the cash management apparatus 1 on the display unit 203. Displays the withdrawal breakdown input screen displaying the number input field for each species.

The store clerk selects one of the change patterns of change reserves or inputs the number of withdrawals by entering the number of withdrawals for each denomination using the numeric keypad.
The main control unit 201, which has recognized the money type to be withdrawn and the number of moneys to be withdrawn by SE5, the withdrawal pattern or the number of money for each denomination, transmits a notification instructing the cash management apparatus 1 to withdraw money. The main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 counts and sends out banknotes corresponding to the denomination from the banknote change storage 24, conveys them to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21, and accumulates them. The corresponding coins are counted from the coin change storage 35 and fed out, and conveyed to the coin dispensing port 36 for accumulation.

SE6, the main control unit 11 that has finished collecting banknotes and coins (when these are collectively referred to as cash), has opened the banknote shutter 21a of the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and has finished collecting cash on the display unit 13. The clerk takes out the cash accumulated in the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin dispensing / dispensing port 36.
SE7, the main control unit 11 confirming the withdrawal of cash closes the bill shutter 21a and creates withdrawal information, and stores it in the storage unit 12.

  Withdrawal information includes the date and time when the withdrawal process was performed, the withdrawal code that is the processing code indicating that the withdrawal process was executed, the number and total amount of money for each withdrawal type, and the time of the withdrawal operation. Withdrawal log data indicating a chart, a building code indicating a building where the cash management device 1 is installed, a cash management device number code of the cash management device 1 and an ID card which is an employee code or ID card code read from an ID card Consists of ID card information such as a withdrawal code.

SE8, the main control unit 201 of the register 2 uses the slip printing unit 206 to issue a slip that describes the details of the withdrawal process executed, such as the ID card information, the number of withdrawals for each denomination and the total amount. The store clerk receives this slip.
Thereafter, the store clerk sets the cash taken out in the register 2 and waits for the customer to come to the store.
SE9, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 confirms the remaining amount of the bill change storage 24 and the coin change storage 35 by denomination, and if the remaining amount of at least one denomination is less than or equal to the near-end reference value It is determined that replenishment to the change storage is necessary, and the process proceeds to step SE10. If all denominations exceed the near-end standard value, the withdrawal process is terminated.

SE 10, the main control unit 11 that has determined that the change storage needs to be replenished creates near-end information and transmits it to the register 2, and the main control unit 201 of the register 2 displays the near-end information on the display unit 203 and withdraws money. End the process.
The near end information includes a date and time when the necessity for replenishment is determined, a near end code which is a processing code indicating a near end of change, a remaining number of cash denominations, a building code, a cash management device code, and the like.

In the store that has started business after the above-mentioned change reserve withdrawal process, if there is a shortage of cash in the register 2 due to unforeseen circumstances, the store clerk withdraws cash from the cash management device 1 (on the way) It is called withdrawal.)
In this case, the store clerk performs a withdrawal process so as to input the number of denominations to be replenished in step SE4. Since other operations are the same as the operation of the withdrawal process, the description thereof is omitted.

If the sales amount stored in the register 2 increases in the middle of business, and the cash in the register 2 becomes large, the store clerk uses the cash in the cash register 1 to make cash handling more efficient and to prevent crime. Deposit money (referred to as intermediate deposit).
In addition, the store clerk performs a closing work after the store is closed. At this time, the sales amount of the day is output from the register 2, and the store clerk takes out the cash stored in the register 2 (sales and change reserves are mixed) and deposits it into the cash management apparatus 1 ( It is called a closing payment.)

Below, the operation | movement of the money_receiving | payment process of the intermediate payment and the closing payment by the cash management apparatus 1 in a 3rd Example is demonstrated according to the step shown by SF using the flowchart shown in FIG.
SF1, the store clerk who makes the deposit selects the deposit process from the operation key of the input unit 205 and presses the operation key.

SF2, the main control unit 201 of the register 2 that detects this prompts the insertion of the ID card in the same manner as in step SE2 of the withdrawal process, and when the store clerk inserts the ID card into the card reader 204, it accepts this and receives the ID. Read card information.
SF3, the main control unit 201 that has read the ID card information determines the validity of the ID card in the same manner as in step SE3 of the withdrawal process, and if the ID card is valid, the deposit is permitted by the ID card code. It is determined that the person is a qualified person, and the process proceeds to step SF4. When it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not qualified for depositing, the fact is displayed on the display unit 203 and the depositing process is terminated.

  SF4, the main control unit 201 that has determined that the ID card is valid, etc. displays a message that prompts the user to insert cash on the display unit 203 and transmits a notification instructing the cash management device 1 to execute the deposit process. To do. The main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 opens the bill shutter 21a of the bill deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin shutter 31a of the coin deposit port 31 to accept the insertion of cash from the store clerk.

The store clerk distinguishes between banknotes and coins for intermediate deposit or closing deposit, and puts them into the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin deposit port 31.
SF5, the main control part 11 which detected insertion of cash performs the count of the inserted cash by closing the bill shutter 21a and the coin shutter 31a.
That is, the main control unit 11 conveys the bills inserted into the bill deposit / withdrawal port 21 to the bill discriminating unit 22, discriminates the authenticity, denomination, etc. of the bills and counts them for each denomination. A banknote is conveyed to the banknote temporary storage part 23, and is stored temporarily. At this time, the banknote discriminated from a defective banknote such as a fake ticket is conveyed to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and returned to the store clerk.

Also, the coins inserted into the coin deposit / withdrawal port 31 are transported to the coin discriminating section 32, the true / false of the coins, the denominations, etc. are discriminated and counted for each denomination, and the identified coins are temporarily stored in the coins. Transport to 34 and temporarily store in denomination. At this time, the coins identified as defective coins such as fake coins are conveyed to the coin reject port 33 and returned to the store clerk.
When only banknotes such as 10,000-yen bills are inserted as in the case of intermediate deposit, the main control unit 11 closes the coin shutter 31a after a predetermined time and omits counting of coins.

SF6, the main control unit 11 having finished counting cash, notifies the register 2 accordingly. The main control unit 201 of the register 2 displays on the display unit 203 a count result confirmation screen displaying a count result for each denomination and a word for prompting confirmation.
When the clerk determines that the displayed counting result is correct, the clerk presses “YES” with the operation key of the input unit 205. Upon detecting this, the main control unit 201 recognizes that the counting result has been confirmed, and proceeds to step SF8.

When it is determined that the counting result displayed by the clerk does not match the cash brought, “NO” is pressed by the operation key of the input unit 205. The main control unit 201 that has detected this recognizes this as a return request, and proceeds to step SF7.
SF7, the main control unit 201 that has recognized the return request notifies the cash management apparatus 1 of that. The main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 conveys and inserts the banknote temporarily stored in the banknote temporary storage unit 23 to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 and the coin temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 34 to the coin dispensing port 36. The returned cash is returned to the store clerk, the receipt of the store clerk is confirmed, and the deposit process is terminated. After that, the clerk confirms the returned cash and executes the deposit process again.

  SF8, the main control unit 201, which has recognized that the counting result has been confirmed, displays a sales input screen displaying a word and a column for prompting the input of the sales amount on the display unit 203, and displays the sales amount to the store clerk. The salesclerk refers to the sales amount output from the register 2 and inputs the sales amount with the numeric keypad of the input unit 205. As a result, the main control unit 201 recognizes the sales amount, stores this in the storage unit, and proceeds to step SF9.

In addition, since there is no sales amount to be input in the deposit process of midway deposit, the store clerk presses “NO” with the operation key. As a result, the main control unit 201 recognizes the sales as “0”, omits the input, and proceeds to step SF9.
SF 9, the main control unit 201 creates sales information based on the input sales (“0” in the case of mid-term deposit), creates deposit information, and transmits these to the cash management apparatus 1. The cash management apparatus 1 stores the received payment information in the storage unit 12.

The deposit information includes the date and time when the deposit process was performed, the deposit code that is a process code indicating that the deposit process was executed, the number of deposits for each denomination and the total amount, and deposit log data indicating the time chart of the deposit operation. , Building code, cash management device machine code, ID card information, etc.
SF 10, the main control unit 201 that has finished sending the deposit information, etc., uses the slip printing unit 206 to send a slip in which the contents of the executed deposit processing such as the ID card information, the number of each deposited money type and the total amount, etc. are executed. The store clerk receives this slip and finishes the deposit operation.

SF11 and the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 store the cash temporarily held in the temporary holding unit in the change storage.
That is, the main control unit 11 transports the banknote temporarily held in the banknote temporary storage unit 23 to the banknote discrimination unit 22 again, discriminates the denominations and the like of the banknotes, counts them for each denomination, and discriminates the banknotes identified. Are banknotes other than change denominations (in this example, 10,000 yen bills) are transported to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denominations. If the identified banknotes are change denominations, banknote change The bills are transported to the storage 24 and stored by denomination, that is, bills of high denomination are preferentially transported to the bill safe 25 and stored by denomination.

Further, all the coins temporarily held in the coin temporary holding unit 34 by denomination are discharged from the coin temporary holding unit 34 to the coin change storage 35 of each denomination and stored in the denomination.
SF12, the main control unit 11 storing cash in the change storage unit checks the storage amounts of the banknote change storage unit 24 and the coin change storage unit 35 for each denomination and checks the amount stored in the storage unit 12 for each change denomination. Compared with the storage reference amount, banknotes of denomination exceeding the storage reference amount, that is, surplus banknotes are conveyed to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denomination.

  In addition, for coins of denominations that exceed the storage reference amount, banknotes corresponding to amounts exceeding the storage reference amount (if the amounts do not match, banknotes corresponding to the amount not exceeding the amount, for example storage reference When the total amount of coins of denomination exceeding the amount is 1200 yen, one thousand-yen bill) is conveyed to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denomination. That is, the amount corresponding to the surplus coin is changed to a coin and conveyed to the banknote safe 25 by banknotes and stored in denominations.

At this time, banknotes of high denominations are preferentially conveyed to the banknote safe 25 and stored in denominations.
After the SF 13 and the surplus money are stored in the cash safe, the main control unit 11 calculates the amount of the money carried forward and stores it in the storage unit 12.
Here, the carry-over money refers to a coin that cannot be stored in a denomination by being transferred to the banknote safe 25 with a banknote instead of a coin, out of the amount corresponding to the surplus coin. For example, when the total amount of coins of denominations exceeding the storage reference amount is 1200 yen, 200 yen that cannot be replaced with banknotes is carried over.

In addition, the amount of money carried forward shall be memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 12 for every payment process.
SF 14, the main control unit 11 that stores the amount carried forward in the storage unit 12 checks the storage amount of the banknote safe 25 and the coin safe 37, and if the storage amount of at least one denomination exceeds the near full reference value It determines with the collection | recovery of cash being required, and transfers to step SA15. If all denominations are below the near full standard value, the deposit process is terminated.

SF 15, the main control unit 11 that has determined that the cash recovery of the cash safe is necessary creates near-full information and transmits it to the register 2, and the main control unit 201 of the register 2 displays the near-full information on the display unit 203 and deposits processing End.
The near full information is constituted by the date and time when the necessity of collection is determined, the near full code which is a processing code indicating the near full of cash, the number of pieces stored for each cash denomination, the building code, the cash management apparatus number code, and the like.

Note that the banknotes stored in the banknote safe 25 may be stored in the banknote safe 25 with mixed denominations. As a result, the structure of the banknote safe 25 can be simplified, and the storage amount of the banknote safe 25 can be increased, and the cash collection cycle described later can be set longer.
As described above, in principle, the change denomination banknotes and coins collected from the register 2 are circulated and stored in the change storage, and the banknotes and coins corresponding to the storage reference amount are stored. The cash stored in the change storage of the cash management apparatus 1 and the cash safe after the closing of all the registers 2 is always the initial allowance for change and the total amount of sales. Become.

By the way, the total amount of cash collected from the register 2 in the closing deposit is composed of the initial change reserve and the sales of the register 2 (if the deposit was made on the way and the withdrawal was made on the way, the amount increased or decreased). However, the denominations withdrawn as change reserves change variously when the product price is settled, and the breakdown of the denomination changes after closing.
Accordingly, the cash stored in the change storage of the cash management apparatus 1 after the closing is often used as change such as 100 yen coin, 10 yen coin, 1 yen coin, etc., but may be paid as a commodity price. In the case of few denominations, the denominations in the change storage are stored in a shortage.

At this time, the amount corresponding to the shortage of the change storage, that is, the amount stored in the cash safe among the cash withdrawn as change reserves is stored in other denominations such as 10,000 yen bills and thousand yen bills. In addition, it is stored in a cash safe.
Below, the operation | movement of the fastening process by the cash management apparatus 1 in a 3rd Example is demonstrated according to the step shown by SG using the flowchart of FIG.

SG1, the manager of the store, for example, the store manager, selects the closing process from the operation keys of the input unit 205 and presses down the operation key after the process of depositing all the registers 2 is completed.
SG2, the main control unit 201 of the register 2 that has detected this prompts the insertion of the ID card in the same manner as in the withdrawal process of the first embodiment, and when the store manager inserts the ID card into the card reader 14. The main control unit 201 accepts this and reads the ID card information.

  SG3, the main control unit 201 reading the ID card information determines the validity of the ID card in the same manner as in step S3 of the withdrawal process of the first embodiment, and if the ID card is valid, the ID It is determined that the person is a qualified person who is permitted to perform the tightening process by the card code, and the process proceeds to step SG4. When it is determined that the ID card is not valid or is not a qualified person for the tightening process, the fact is displayed on the display unit 203 and the tightening process is terminated.

SG4, the main control part 201 which determined that an ID card is valid, etc. transmit the notification which instruct | indicates execution of a fastening process to the cash management apparatus 1. FIG. The main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 totals the amount of the carry-over money stored in the storage unit 12 in step SF13 of the deposit process, and is calculated by the deposit process performed from the previous closing process to the current closing process. Calculate the cumulative amount of carry-forwards.
SG5, the main control unit 11 that has calculated the accumulated amount of the carry-over money, is equivalent to the amount of money that can be converted into the bill among the accumulated amount of the carry-over money (for example, when the accumulated amount is 2,300 yen, 2,000 2 bills corresponding to yen) are moved from the bill change storage 24 to the bill safe 25.

SG6, the main control unit 11 that has moved the bill creates closing information and carry-over information, and stores them in the storage unit 12.
The closing information includes the date and time when the closing process was performed, the closing code that is a processing code indicating that the closing process was executed, the closing log data indicating the time chart of the closing operation, the building code, the cash management apparatus number code, and the ID card information. Etc.

The carry-over money information is composed of the carry-over amount after the tightening process obtained by subtracting the amount converted into the bill from the cumulative amount of the carry-over money calculated in the deposit process performed from the previous closing process to the current closing process.
The main control unit 11 aggregates cash movements in the store from the previous closing process to the current closing process, and uses this as cash movement information.

  SG7, the main control unit 11 (sales calculation means after closing process) of the cash management apparatus 1 is based on the cash transfer information, the total amount of sales in the store from the previous closing process to the current closing process, banknotes Register 2 for the amount converted to, the amount carried forward after the closing process, the sales amount after the closing process obtained by subtracting the amount carried forward after the closing process from the total amount of sales, the number of each denominated money, employee code, etc. The main control unit 201 of the register 2 displays on the display unit 203, and the store manager confirms the displayed content and presses “YES” with the operation key of the input unit 205.

The main control unit 201 that has detected this recognizes that the sales amount after the tightening process has been confirmed.
SG8, the main control unit 201 uses the slip printing unit 206 to print a slip describing the cash transfer information received from the cash management apparatus 1, the sales amount after the closing process, the ID card information of the store manager who performed the closing process, and the like. Issuing, confirming that the store manager has received the slip, and then ending the closing process.

Here, the general management company periodically collects and replenishes cash in the cash management apparatus 1 in addition to the sudden collection and replenishment based on the above-mentioned near-full information and near-end information by the regional management center.
When the cash collection and replenishment of the cash management apparatus 1 is performed regularly, the person in charge of collection / delivery from the regional management center installs the empty banknote cassette or coin safe cassette to be loaded after the collection of the cash by the collection / delivery vehicle 9 and for replenishment. Bring cash and go around the store, and do as follows.

  When collecting the cash of the cash management apparatus 1, the person in charge of collection / delivery selects the collection process from the operation key of the input unit 205 of the register 2 and presses down the operation key. In the same manner as in step SE2 of the gold processing, the ID card is urged to be inserted, and when the ID card brought by the person in charge of delivery / insertion is inserted into the card reader 204, the ID card information is received and read, Similarly, it is confirmed that the ID card is valid and is a qualified person who is permitted to collect the ID card code.

After confirming the validity of the ID card, the main control unit 201 transmits a notification instructing the collection to the cash management apparatus 1, and the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 transfers the banknotes in the banknote change storage 24 to the banknote safe. Then, the collection door 38 can be unlocked by unlocking the electronic lock and the like.
The person in charge of collection / unloading unlocks the collection door with a key or the like possessed, takes out the banknote safe cassette mounted on the banknote safe 25, attaches the empty banknote safe cassette that it brings, and locks the collection door 38.

Upon detecting this, the main control unit 11 locks the electronic lock or the like of the collection door 38, prints and issues the collection processing contents on a slip in the same manner as in step SE8 of the withdrawal processing, and receives the collection / delivery person. Confirm and end the collection process.
Since only the banknotes can be collected by this collection process, the carry-over money generated in each deposit process is still stored in the coin change storage box 35.

In the present embodiment, the above collection process is performed immediately after the tightening process, but the tightening process may be performed in the collection process.
Further, in the recovery process, the case where the banknote safe cassette and the banknote change storage 24 are separately provided has been described. However, these may be integrated and used as the banknote safe cassette. Thereby, efficiency of collection processing can be improved and the cash management device 1 can be simplified.

  When replenishing cash to the bill change storage 24 that has been emptied in this way and the coin change storage 35 that has not reached the storage reference amount, the person in charge of collection and delivery selects the replenishment process from the operation keys of the input unit 205. Then, after the operation key is pressed and the main control unit 201 confirms the validity of the ID card in the same manner as described above, the main control unit 11 of the cash management apparatus 1 performs the same as in step SF4 of the deposit process. The cash receipt opening is opened, and the person in charge of collection and delivery puts the cash for replenishment brought into the cash receipt opening.

  Thereafter, cash is counted in the same manner as in step SF5 of the deposit process, the count result is displayed, and when the count result is confirmed by the person in charge of collection and delivery, the main control unit 11 temporarily executes the same as in step SF11 of the deposit process. The cash temporarily held in the holding section is stored in the change storage, and the replenishment processing contents are printed and issued in a slip in the same manner as in step SE8 of the withdrawal processing, and the receipt of the collection and delivery person is confirmed and replenished. End the process.

Here, the relationship among the sales amount, the balance carried forward, the sales amount after the closing process, and the collection amount collected in the collection process will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 15, when the sales amount on the first day is 16,600 yen and the carry forward amount is 600 yen, the amount after removing the carry forward amount from the sales amount of 16,000 yen is the sales amount after the closing process. The general management company collects the banknotes through the collection process. Moreover, the 600 yen carry-over becomes the carry-over after the tightening process.

  Next, if the sales on the second day are 21,600 yen and the carry-over is 600 yen, the accumulated carry-over is 1,200 yen, which is the sum of the carry-over after the previous day's closing process and the carry-on on the second day. Of which, 1,000 yen coins are exchanged for banknotes, and the sales after tightening are 22,000 yen by adding the banknote exchange amount to the amount obtained by subtracting the carryover from the sales on the second day. Subtracts the banknote exchange amount from the accumulated carryover and becomes 200 yen. The general management company collects 22,000 yen banknotes with the same amount as the sales after the closing process.

  Similarly, if the sales on the third day are 14,600 yen and the carryforward is 600 yen, the accumulated carryover that is the sum of the carryover after the closing process on the second day and the carryover on the third day is 800 yen. However, since this cannot be exchanged for banknotes, it is carried over as it is after the tightening process. The sales amount after the closing process is 14,000 yen, which is the amount obtained by removing the carry forward from the sales amount, and this amount is collected by the general management company.

  If the sales on the 4th day are 16,600 yen and the carry forward is 600 yen, the accumulated carry forward is 1,400, which is the sum of the carry forward 800 yen after the closing process on the 3rd day and the carryover on the 4th day. 1,000 yen coins are exchanged for banknotes, and the sales after tightening are 17,000 yen by adding the banknote exchange amount to the amount obtained by subtracting the carryover from the sales on the fourth day, The carry-over money is 400 yen by subtracting the bill exchange amount from the accumulated carry-over money. The general management company collects 17,000 yen banknotes in the same amount as the sales after the closing process.

  In the above example, the case where the central management company collects the sales proceeds every day has been explained. However, in the case of an offline cash management system in which the cash management device is not connected to the central management company center, Sales are small and sales are often collected once every few days. Below, when collecting sales once every four days, sales, carry-over, amount of money carried over to banknotes in the closing process (banknote exchange amount), and carry-over, collection after the closing process The relationship between the collection amounts collected in the process will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 16, the sales amount is 16,000 yen and the carry-over is 600 yen in the deposit process on the first day, the sales amount is 21,600 yen and the carry-over is 600 yen in the deposit process on the second day. If the sales amount is 14,600 yen and the carry-forward is 600 yen in the deposit process, the sales amount is 16,600 yen and the carry-over is 600 yen in the deposit process on the fourth day, the closing after the deposit process on the fourth day In the process, the total amount of the carry forward is 2,400 yen, and the banknote corresponding to 2,000 yen is moved from the banknote change storage 24 to the bank safe 25, that is, coins of 2,000 minutes (banknote exchange amount) are transferred. Exchanged for banknotes.

Therefore, the balance carried over after the closing process is 400 yen obtained by subtracting the banknote exchange amount of 2,000 yen from the accumulated 2,400 yen carried over, and the sales amount after the closing process is the sales amount from the first day to the fourth day. The total of 69,400 yen is subtracted 400 yen, which is the carry-over after the closing process, to 69,000 yen, and the collection process collects 69,000 yen banknotes, the same amount as the sales after the closing process. .
In addition, the sales on the fifth day is 17,500 yen, the carry-over is 500 yen, the sales on the sixth day is 22,700 yen, the carry-over is 700 yen, and the seventh-day deposit process. If the sales amount is 12,300 yen, the carryforward is 300 yen, and the sales amount is 21,400 yen and the carryforward is 400 yen in the 8th day deposit process, the closing process after the 8th deposit process The cumulative amount of carry-forward is 2,300 yen (the balance of the carry-over after the closing process on the fourth day and the cumulative carry-forward from the fifth day to the eighth day), and the banknote corresponding to 2,000 yen is the banknote The coin is transferred from the change storage 24 to the bill safe 25, that is, a coin of 2,000 yen (a bill exchange amount) is exchanged for a bill.
