Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus that performs a cash withdrawal process for a change replenished in a register installed in a retail store or the like, a cash deposit process for cash collected from a register, and the like.

As a conventional cash processing device of this type, withdrawing cash for change from a cash storage for change to multiple registers installed at retail stores, when cash collected from the register is deposited , Cash for change is stored in the cash storage for change, cash for sales is stored in the cash collection box, deposit and withdrawal amount for each deposit and withdrawal process, number of deposits and withdrawals for each denomination, etc. A device having a function of storing and managing the transaction history in the storage unit as a transaction history has been proposed. In this device, after checking the validity of the cashier in charge by reading the ID of the card associated with each register The withdrawal and deposit processes are performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-038062 A (paragraph “0027” to paragraph “0050”, FIGS. 1 and 4 to 6)

However, the conventional techniques described above have the following problems.
When the cashier pays the cash collected from the register, the cashier enters the amount of the sales, so if you enter the wrong amount and proceed without knowing it, There is a problem that the amount of money originally stored in the cash collection store is different from the amount actually stored, which hinders operation.

The following method is considered as a solution to such a problem.
FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing a solution to the problem of the conventional apparatus.
Assume that ID cards 1, 2, and 3 are associated with registers 1, 2, and 3, as shown in the figure.
Therefore, when the person in charge of the register 1 withdraws the cash for change with the card 1, for example, “30,000 yen”, the cash processing apparatus records the withdrawal of “30,000 yen” with respect to the card 2 as the history. Store in the storage unit.

  Similarly, when the person in charge of the register 2 withdraws cash for change “10,000 Yen” from the card 2, the cash processing apparatus records the withdrawal of “10,000 Yen” for the card 2 as the history. When the person in charge of the register 3 withdraws cash for change “10,000 Yen” from the card 3, the cash processing apparatus outputs “10,000 Yen” to the card 3 as its history. The money is stored in the storage unit as a history.

  Then, when the person in charge of the register 1 is replaced with another person in charge or at the time of closing the cash register, the cash in the register 1 is collected. If the cash is, for example, “98,000 yen”, the cash is transferred to the cash processing apparatus. When the deposit is made, the cash processing apparatus checks the previous withdrawal history for the card 1 and stores the change amount of “30,000 yen” for the card 1 in the change cash storage, and the remaining “68,000 yen”. Is stored in the cash collection box as sales.

  The same processing is performed for the registers 2 and 3. For example, if the cash collected from the register 2 is “38,000 yen”, when cash is deposited into the cash processing apparatus, the cash processing apparatus checks the previous withdrawal history for the card 2 and “10,000 yen” for the card 2. Is stored in the cash storage for change, the remaining “28,000 yen” is stored in the cash collection box as sales, and the cash collected from the register 3 is, for example, “25,000 yen”. In this case, when cash is deposited into the cash processing device, the cash processing device checks the previous withdrawal history for the card 3 and stores the change amount of “10,000 yen” for the card 3 in the cash storage for change. The remaining “15,000 yen” is stored in the cash collection box as sales.

By doing so, it is possible to prevent erroneous input when the cashier enters the amount of sales, but if this method is adopted, if the cashier makes a mistake with the card, There is a new problem that sales and change are stored separately with the wrong amount.
For example, when “3,000 yen” is withdrawn from the card 1 and the cash “98,000 yen” collected from the register 1 is deposited, if another card with no withdrawal history is used, the original “30, “000 Yen” is to be stored in the cash storage for change and the remaining “68,000 Yen” should be stored in the cash collection box as sales. In the same way, when you withdraw “30,000 Yen” from the card 1 and deposit the cash “98,000 Yen” collected from the register 1, If used, if the change amount of “10,000 Yen” for this card 2 has already been deposited, the withdrawal result will be “0 Yen”. It will be stored in.

  An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a withdrawal processing function for paying out cash from a change cash storage and withdrawing cash used as change for a plurality of registers, and an amount of money received as change for accepting cash collected from each register. In a cash processing apparatus having a deposit processing function for storing cash in the change cash storage and storing the remaining cash in the cash collection store as sales, a card associated with each display unit and register Reading means for reading the identification information for identifying the card from each other, and for each processing such as deposit processing and withdrawal processing, the processing type and the processing amount are associated with the identification information of the card used for the processing as a processing history A storage unit for storing, reading the identification information for identifying the card from the card by the reading means at the time of deposit processing, the previous withdrawal process corresponding to the identification information Searching the management history, if there is no dispensing process corresponding to the current deposit process, it displays a warning message to that effect on the display unit, characterized in that to be able to select a processing end.

  In the present invention as described above, when the person in charge deposits the cash collected from the register, the identification information for identifying the card is read by the reading means from the ID card used by the person in charge, and the conventional information corresponding to the identification information is read. If the process is searched from the process history and there is no withdrawal history corresponding to the current deposit process, a warning message to that effect can be displayed and the process end can be selected, so the person in charge mistakes the card to use In such a case, the mistake can be noticed, and the deposit process can be performed again using the correct card, so that the use of the wrong card can be reduced to a considerable extent.

The operation of the first embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.
In the following description, descriptions of control by the main control unit 8 and the control units 18 and 27 are omitted except for necessary descriptions.

First, a description will be given of a withdrawal process in the case where a cashier in charge causes cash to be added to the register for change.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the withdrawal process. In the figure, S indicates a step, which will be described below in accordance with this step.
When the cashier person inserts the ID card into the card insertion / eject port provided in the cash processing apparatus, the card reader 5 distinguishes the user from the ID card, the card number (card No.), the cash register number (cash register No.). Is read (S1).

Further, the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 to input his personal ID (user ID) and password (S2).
The main control unit 8 collates the personal ID and password input by the cashier person with the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 or the like in advance, and when the validity is confirmed, the user classification read from the ID card The menu screen for selecting “withdrawal” and “deposit” that can be operated by the cashier person is displayed on the display unit 3 (S3), and the cashier person selects the menu screen.

When the cashier in charge operates the operation unit 4 and selects “withdrawal”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection of “withdrawal” (S4), and displays a withdrawal amount input screen on the display unit 3. .
When the cashier in charge looks at this screen and operates the operation unit 4 to input a withdrawal amount (number of coins and banknotes for each denomination), the main control unit 8 accepts the input amount (S5), The withdrawal amount is compared with the cash in the change coin storage 14 of the coin processing machine 1 and the change banknote storage 24 of the banknote processing machine 2 to determine whether or not the withdrawal is possible (S6).

If it is determined that withdrawal is not possible due to a shortage of cash in the change coin storage 14 and change banknote storage 24, a message screen to that effect is displayed on the display unit 3 and the process ends.
When withdrawal is possible, coins and banknotes of the corresponding denomination are fed out from the coin storage box 14 for change of the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote storage box 24 for change of the banknote processing machine 2, and the coin discrimination section 12 and the banknote discrimination section. After discrimination and counting at 22, they are discharged or accumulated in the coin dispensing safe 16 and the banknote depositing / dispensing port 21 and withdrawn to the cashier in charge (S7).

  When the withdrawal is completed, the main control unit 8 determines the serial number and cash register No. , Card no. The user ID, classification, withdrawal amount (processing amount), number of money types, etc. are additionally written in the deposit / withdrawal processing history of the storage unit 7 (S8), and the processing result is recorded in the slip by the slip recording unit 6. The ID card is issued from the card insertion / ejection slot and returned to the cashier staff (S9).

Note that the deposit / withdrawal processing history etc. may be updated after the voucher is issued.
Next, the deposit process when the cashier in charge deposits the cash collected from the register will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the deposit process. In the figure, S indicates a step, which will be described below in accordance with this step.

When the cashier person inserts the ID card into the card insertion / eject port provided in the cash processing apparatus, the card reader 5 distinguishes the user from the ID card, the card number (card No.), and the cash register number (register No.) The card information is read (S11).
Subsequently, the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 to input his personal ID (user ID) and password (S12).

The main control unit 8 collates the personal ID and password input by the cashier person with the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 or the like in advance, and when the validity is confirmed, the user classification read from the ID card A menu screen for selecting “withdrawal” and “deposit” that can be operated by the cashier person is displayed on the display unit 3 (S13), and the cashier person selects the menu screen.
Here, when the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 and selects “deposit”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection of “deposit” (S14), and the deposit / withdrawal shown in FIG. The gold processing history is searched, and the card No. of the card information is searched. It is determined whether there is a withdrawal process corresponding to the current deposit process in the previous process of the category corresponding to (S15). If there is a withdrawal process, the process proceeds to S18 and the deposit process is performed. When there is no gold processing, the main control unit 8 displays a confirmation screen on the display unit 3 (S16).

  Fig. 5 shows an example of the confirmation screen in this case. This confirmation screen shows the previous processing performed by this card, such as "This card has not been withdrawn. Do you want to continue the deposit process?" With a warning that there is no withdrawal corresponding to this deposit process, and a message asking whether or not to continue the deposit process, and press the confirmation button to continue depositing, and the cancel button to terminate the process A message prompting the user to do so, a card number of the card used this time, a cash register number corresponding to the card number, a “confirm” button 30 for selecting the continuation of payment, and a “cancel” button 31 for selecting the end of the processing.

  The cashier in charge sees this screen and presses either the “Confirm” button 30 or the “Cancel” button 31, and the main control unit 8 thereby determines whether or not to continue the processing (S 17). This time, the cash register No. 1 shown in FIG. No. 1 was mistakenly registered with the intention of depositing cash collected from No. 1 register. Card No. 2 corresponding to If the second card is inserted, the cashier can recognize that the card has been mistaken by the warning message displayed on the confirmation screen, and at this stage, press the “Cancel” button 31. End of processing can be selected.

When the “Cancel” button 31 is pressed and the processing end is selected, the main control unit 8 ejects the ID card from the card insertion / ejection slot and returns it to the cashier person. After that, the cashier person inserts the correct card. You can redo the deposit process.
On the other hand, when the cashier checks the confirmation screen and presses the “confirm” button 30 to select the continuation of the deposit process, or when it is determined that there is a withdrawal process in S15, the main control unit 8 detects the coin processing machine. 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 are made to perform a deposit process (S18).

  That is, the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 open the shutters provided in the coin depositing slot 11 and the banknote depositing / dispensing slot 21 respectively according to the instruction of the main control unit 8, and the cashier person collects them from the register. The coins and banknotes, which are cash, are received, and the received coins and banknotes are conveyed to the coin discrimination unit 12 and the banknote discrimination unit 22 for discrimination and counting, respectively, and then temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 13 and banknote temporary storage unit 23. Hold.

When all the accepted coins and banknotes are counted and temporarily held, the main control unit 8 displays the number and amount of each denomination and the total amount of all denominations on the display unit 3 as the counting result, and the amount of money is given to the cashier. To confirm whether or not storage is possible (OK / NG).
In the case of storing impossible (NG), the temporarily held coin is returned from the coin reject port 17 and the banknote is returned to the cashier in charge from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21 to finish the processing. The coins and bills temporarily held in the holding unit 13 and the bill temporary holding unit 23 are stored.

  For example, this deposit process is card no. 2 is a deposit process using an ID card of “0002”, and the cashier in charge of the confirmation presses the “confirm” button 30 on the confirmation screen and selects to continue the deposit process. In the example shown in FIG. Since the processing amount picture “38,000” is “payment”, and “10,000” of the previous “withdrawal” has already been stored as the change storage amount, the coin temporary holding unit 13 and the banknote temporary storage All the coins and banknotes temporarily held in the holding unit 23 are sorted and stored in the coin collection box 15 and the banknote collection box 25, the change coin storage box 14, and the change banknote storage box 24.

  In addition, this deposit process is card No. Is a deposit process with an ID card of “0001”, and the main control unit 8 searches the deposit / withdrawal process history shown in FIG. 2 in S5, and as a result, there is a withdrawal corresponding to this deposit process in the previous process. When judged, among the coins and banknotes temporarily held in the coin temporary holding unit 13 and the banknote temporary holding unit 23, “30,000” withdrawn in the previous processing is used as the change, and the coin storage 14 for change and change The bill is stored in the bill storage 24 and the remainder is stored in the coin recovery 15 and bill recovery 25 as sales.

  When the storing of coins and banknotes is completed, the main control unit 8 determines the serial number and cash register No. as the current processing result. , Card no. The user ID, classification, deposit amount, number of denominations, etc. are written and updated in the deposit / withdrawal processing history of the storage unit 7 (S19), and the slip recording unit 6 records the deposit processing result in a slip and handles cash registering. The ID card is discharged from the card insertion outlet and returned to the cashier in charge (S20).

Note that the deposit / withdrawal processing history etc. may be updated after the voucher is issued.
According to the first embodiment described above, when the person in charge deposits the cash collected from the register, the card reader reads the identification information for identifying the card from the ID card inserted by the person in charge and corresponds to the identifier. The previous process is searched from the deposit / withdrawal process history, and if there is no withdrawal corresponding to the current deposit process in the previous process, a warning message to that effect is displayed and the process end can be selected. Therefore, if the person in charge makes a mistake in the card to be used, the person in charge can recognize the mistake and use the correct card to redo the deposit process.

However, if you make a mistake in using a card that has been withdrawn, you will not be able to completely eliminate the mistake because the deposit process will proceed, but you will be able to reduce the use of the wrong card to a considerable extent. It is done.
Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, when a card with a withdrawal record is used by mistake during the deposit process, the error is checked and a warning message is displayed. Therefore, a check-specific setting file for checking is shown in FIG. It is stored in the storage unit 7 shown.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a register-specific setting file. , Cash register No. , Presence or absence of check, minimum sales amount, card No. The card number read from the cashier's ID card is written in the area of the cashier. In this area, a register number for specifying a register read from the ID card of the cashier person is written.
The relationship between the card number and the cash register number is associated with the deposit / withdrawal history shown in FIG.

In addition, the area with / without check indicates whether or not to check the sales amount. When the check is performed, “Yes” information is written, and when not checked, “No” information is written. It is rare.
The minimum sales amount set in advance for each register is written in the minimum sales amount area, and the minimum sales amount set in each register is, for example, based on past performance statistics. It is decided.

still. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.
Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, since the withdrawal process is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the deposit process in the case where the cashier in charge collects the cash collected from the register will be described here.
In the following description, descriptions of control by the main control unit 8 and the control units 18 and 27 are omitted except for necessary descriptions.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the deposit process. In the figure, S indicates a step, which will be described below according to this step.
First, when a cashier in charge inserts an ID card into a card insertion / ejection slot provided in the cash processing apparatus, the card reader 5 sorts the user from the ID card, card number (card No.), cash register number (registry No .) Or the like is read (S21).

Subsequently, the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 to input his personal ID (user ID) and password (S22).
The main control unit 8 collates the personal ID and password input by the cashier person with the personal ID and password registered in the storage unit 7 or the like in advance, and when the validity is confirmed, the user classification read from the ID card A menu screen for selecting “withdrawal” and “deposit” that can be operated by the cashier person is displayed on the display unit 3 (S23), and the cashier person selects the menu screen.

  Here, when the cashier person operates the operation unit 4 and selects “deposit”, the main control unit 8 accepts the selection of “deposit” (S24), and the deposit / withdrawal shown in FIG. The gold processing history is searched, and the card No. of the card information is searched. It is determined whether there is a withdrawal process corresponding to the current deposit process in the previous process of the category corresponding to (S25), and if there is a withdrawal process, the process proceeds to S31 and the deposit process is performed. When there is no withdrawal process, the main control unit 8 displays the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 5 described in the first embodiment on the display unit 3 (S26).

  The cashier in charge sees this screen and presses either the “Confirm” button 30 or the “Cancel” button 31, and the main control unit 8 thereby determines whether or not to continue the processing (S 27). This time, the cash register No. 1 shown in FIG. No. 1 was mistakenly registered with the intention of depositing cash collected from No. 1 register. Card No. 2 corresponding to If the second card is inserted, the cashier can recognize that the card has been mistaken by the warning message displayed on the confirmation screen, and at this stage, press the “Cancel” button 31. End of processing can be selected.

When the “Cancel” button 31 is pressed and the processing end is selected, the main control unit 8 ejects the ID card from the card insertion / ejection slot and returns it to the cashier person. After that, the cashier person inserts the correct card. You can redo the deposit process.
When the cashier checks the confirmation screen and presses the “confirm” button 30 to select the continuation of the deposit process, the main control unit 8 causes the coin processor 1 and the bill processor 2 to perform the deposit process (S28). .

  That is, the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 open the shutters provided in the coin depositing slot 11 and the banknote depositing / dispensing slot 21 respectively according to the instruction of the main control unit 8, and the cashier person collects them from the register. The coins and banknotes, which are cash, are received, and the received coins and banknotes are conveyed to the coin discrimination unit 12 and the banknote discrimination unit 22 for discrimination and counting, respectively, and then temporarily stored in the coin temporary storage unit 13 and banknote temporary storage unit 23. Hold.

When all the accepted coins and banknotes are counted and temporarily held, the main control unit 8 displays the number and amount of each denomination and the total amount of all denominations on the display unit 3 as the counting result, and the amount of money is given to the cashier. To confirm whether or not storage is possible (OK / NG).
In the case of storing impossible (NG), the temporarily held coin is returned from the coin reject port 17 and the banknote is returned to the cashier in charge from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port 21, and the processing is completed. The coins and bills temporarily held in the holding unit 13 and the bill temporary holding unit 23 are stored.

  For example, this card No. Is a deposit process with a card of “0002”, and the cashier in charge has pressed the “confirm” button 30 on the confirmation screen and selected to continue the deposit process, in the example shown in FIG. Since the processing amount image is “38,000” in “Payment”, and “10,000” of the previous “withdrawal” has already been stored as a change storage amount, the coin temporary storage unit 13 and the banknote temporary storage All the coins and banknotes temporarily held in the unit 23 are sorted and stored in the coin recovery box 15 and the banknote recovery box 25, the change coin storage box 14 and the change banknote storage box 24.

  When the storing of coins and banknotes is completed, the main control unit 8 determines the serial number and cash register No. as the current processing result. , Card no. The user ID, classification, deposit amount, number of denominations, etc. are written and updated in the deposit / withdrawal processing history of the storage unit 7 (S29), and the slip recording unit 6 records the deposit processing result in a slip and handles cash registering. The ID card is ejected from the card insertion / ejection slot and returned to the cashier in charge (S30), thereby completing the deposit process.

Note that the deposit / withdrawal processing history etc. may be updated after the voucher is issued.
On the other hand, when the main control unit 8 determines in S25 that there is a withdrawal process corresponding to the current deposit process in the previous process, the deposit process is executed as follows.
First, the coin processing machine 1 and the banknote processing machine 2 open the shutters provided in the coin depositing slot 11 and the banknote depositing / dispensing slot 21 respectively according to the instruction of the main control unit 8, and the cashier person collects them from the register. The coins and banknotes, which are cash, are accepted, and the accepted coins and banknotes are conveyed to the coin discrimination unit 12 and the banknote discrimination unit 22 for discrimination and counting, respectively (S31).

The coins and bills after counting are temporarily held in the coin temporary holding unit 13 and the banknote temporary holding unit 23.
When all accepted coins and banknotes are counted and temporarily held, the main control unit 8 stores the previous withdrawal amount corresponding to the card used this time in the storage unit 7 (FIG. 2). To determine whether or not the total amount of all denominations, that is, the deposit amount is greater than or equal to the previous withdrawal amount (S32), and if the deposit amount is less than the previous withdrawal amount, the process proceeds to S34.
