When the change reserve creation software is activated by an operation via the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 automatically identifies the next business day after the activation date and changes the money type for each day. From the terminal storage unit 35 in which the reserve money data is stored, the number of coins of all denominations other than the cash 10,000 yen coupon for the next business day, that is, the number of 5,000 yen coupons, the number of thousand yen coupons Is read out and displayed on the operation display unit 31. Along with that, the terminal control unit 34 always updates and stores, and out of all the cash amount data existing in the store 11 at that time, other than the 10,000 yen ticket, that is, the number of 5,000 yen tickets, The changeable cash amount data of the denomination including the number of thousand yen coupons and the number of coins of all denominations is read from the terminal storage unit 35 and displayed on the operation display unit 31.

  In addition to the above, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 is expected to be necessary during the remaining business hours from the start of the current business day, which is the start date of the change reserve creation software, That is, the remaining change money data of the denomination consisting of the number of 5,000 yen coupons, the number of thousand yen coupons, and the number of coins of all denominations is calculated. The remaining change money data of the money type is set within the range of the cash available cash amount data of the money type in the store 11, for example, the creation work of the change reserve is ruled at a substantially constant time. If it is, it can be set to a predetermined value of a preset money type, or it can be obtained by multiplying the change reserve data for the money type of the current business day by a preset coefficient.

  The terminal control unit 34 can recover the money for the next business day by subtracting the remaining change money data of this money type from the cash available cash amount data of the money type of the store 11 to the money type. Recoverable money data of a denomination consisting of the number of 5,000 yen tickets, the number of 1,000 yen tickets, and the number of coins of all denominations is calculated. Next, the terminal control unit 34 subtracts the recoverable money data for this money type from the change data for the next business day to the money type within a range not exceeding the change money data. As a result, change reserve shortage data for each denomination consisting of the number of 5,000 yen coupons, the number of thousand yen coupons, and the number of coins of all denominations that is insufficient for the next business day is calculated. That is, the amount of cash available for change in money type = remaining change data in money type + recoverable money data in money type, and does not exceed money reserve data in money type = change money data in money type Recoverable money data for each type of money + change reserve shortage data for each money type. Then, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 compares the amount of money reserve data for each day with the money amount data to be recovered, and prepares for the change of money type that becomes insufficient. The deficit data will be calculated and output.

  When the above calculation is completed, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 obtains the remaining change money data of the denomination, the recoverable money data of the denomination, and the change reserve deficit data of the denomination every day as described above. Along with the cash reserve data for the next business day in the change reserve data for the following money type, cash available cash amount data for the money type, and cash balance data in the store including 10,000 yen tickets, The data is output and displayed on the operation display unit 31.

  Here, at the store 11, change reserve data of the money type for the next business day can be adjusted by the input to the operation display unit 31 of the POS terminal 21. In other words, each time the change reserve data adjustment operation is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 uses the change type reserve data of the money type after the addition / subtraction correction is performed, The calculation of the change reserve deficiency data of the above-described money type is performed again.

  Similarly, the remaining change money data of the denomination is input to the operation display unit 31 of the POS terminal 21 within the range of the available cash amount data of the denomination change stored in the terminal storage unit 35. Thus, it can be corrected to another amount data. In other words, each time the change control for the remaining change money data is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 uses the remaining change money data of the money type after the adjustment is made. The calculation of the change reserve deficiency data of the selected money type is performed again.

  Similarly, by inputting to the operation display unit 31 of the POS terminal 21, the range of the available cash amount data of the change type stored in the terminal storage unit 35 is displayed as the type of recoverable money data. Can be modified to other amount data including zero. That is, each time the terminal controller 34 receives an operation for adding / decreasing the amount of recoverable money data of the denomination including resetting to zero on the operation display unit 31, the terminal controller 34 after this adjustment / correction has been made. The above-described calculation of the money reserve deficiency data for each money type is performed again using the money available for money collection. Here, the recoverable money data can be preset as zero, and if it is preset as zero, the terminal controller 34 automatically changes the change reserve data as it is. Set as shortage data.

  Whenever necessary, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 stores the remaining change money data of the money type, the recoverable money data of the money type, the change reserve shortage data of the money type, and the next business operation. The change money data for the daily money type is corrected and output, and is changed and displayed on the operation display unit 31. When a confirmation operation for these data is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 updates and stores these data in the terminal storage unit 35.

  And finally, in order to make up for the above-mentioned money-type change reserve shortage data, it is necessary to exchange the exchange principal and create a shortage of change reserve, but the terminal control unit 34 Of the amount of money available for remuneration of the money type, the yuan exchange money, which is exactly the amount corresponding to the change reserve shortage data, of the 10,000 yen which is the highest banknote and other currencies other than the highest banknote It is determined whether or not it is possible to withdraw money from the change machine 22 in a possible combination with the amount exceeding the amount of change reserve data. If it is possible to withdraw the exchange money that is exactly the amount corresponding to the change reserve shortage data, the input of the exchange money withdrawal operation is awaited.

  On the other hand, in the case where it is not possible to withdraw the exchange money that is exactly the amount corresponding to the change reserve shortage data, the terminal control unit 34 receives from the change machine 22 the amount equivalent to the money reserve shortage data of the denomination. The minimum amount of money can be exchanged according to possible combinations of 10,000 yen coupons and money other than 10,000 yen coupons that exceed the money reserve data of the money type of the recoverable money data. It will be withdrawn as money. For this reason, the terminal control unit 34 corrects change reserve shortage data in advance so that the total amount is equal to the exchange principal and updates and stores it in the terminal storage unit 35 before the exchange principal is withdrawn. I will let you. In other words, while correcting all of the above-mentioned money reserve shortage data before correction and correcting the money reserve shortage data by money type so that the total amount is equal to the total amount of the exchange money data, The money change reserve data of the money type is corrected so as to satisfy the above-mentioned relationship with the money change reserve shortage data of the revised money type, and is updated and stored in the terminal storage unit 35, and the input of the money exchange money withdrawal operation Wait.

  On the store 11 side, it is necessary to create a change of money corresponding to the change reserve shortage data, and the person in charge needs to go to the change machine room 14 for exchange. For this reason, when a money-changing principal withdrawal operation is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 receives cash, which is a money-changing principal corresponding to the total amount data of change reserve shortage, from the change machine 22. Will withdraw money. That is, after the change reserve shortage data and the like are finally finalized at the POS terminal 21, when an instruction to withdraw money for the exchange money is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 receives the change from the change machine 22. As mentioned above, the minimum amount above the amount equivalent to the change reserve shortage data is used as the change reserve among the 10,000 yen bill that is the highest bill and the money other than the highest bill. With the possible combination with the amount exceeding the amount that constitutes the recoverable money data of the denominated money type, the money is withdrawn as exchange money.

  In addition, when an operation for changing the money to be exchanged is input to the operation display unit 31 as described above, the terminal control unit 34 stores the final money change shortage data of the money type into the change preparation of the money type. In association with the store identification information of the store 11 provided with the POS terminal 21 for outputting the shortage data, the money is output to the money exchange management machine 121, and the amount data of the money type withdrawn as the money exchange money as described above. The data is stored in the terminal storage unit 35 as remuneration data for each denomination. In addition, when a printing operation is input on the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 prints this money-type change reserve deficiency data on the paper surface by the printer unit 33.

  The money change management machine control unit 126 of the money change management machine 121 accepts the above-mentioned money-type change reserve deficiency data associated with the store identification information, and this money-type change reserve deficit data and the store associated therewith. The identification information (store identification information of the store 11 provided with the POS terminal 21 that outputs the money reserve shortage data of this money type) is associated and stored in the currency exchange management device storage unit 127.

  As described above, when a money-changing principal withdrawal operation is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 further outputs inquiry information to the money-changing management machine 121 in parallel. Information such as the congestion status of the room 14 is collected, and the result is displayed on the operation display unit 31. The person in charge at the store 11 takes the money of the money exchanged from the change machine 22, and immediately goes to the money changer room 14 from the displayed congestion situation of the money changer room 14, and then changes the money. The machine 101 exchanges money.

  After the currency exchange process in the money change machine 101, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 receives a remittance instruction operation to the operation display unit 31. The amount of money constituting the money-type change reserve data out of the money-type recoverable money data is withdrawn from the change machine 22, and thus the money type withdrawn from the change machine 22 for the return. Is stored in the terminal storage unit 35.

  When the change machine 22 is full, the number of coins that can be released from the full state are withdrawn from the change machine 22 by the withdrawal process by the change machine 22 and stored in a separate safe in the store 11 or the like. In this case, the terminal control unit 34 stores the money type data of money that is withdrawn and stored in the safe in the terminal storage unit 35. When the change reserve is created, if the money included in the change reserve data included in the recoverable money data includes the money in the safe, the terminal control unit 34 stores the money in the safe. Among them, the money type data corresponding to the change reserve data is displayed on the operation display unit 31, and the terminal type storage unit 35 stores the money type data to be taken out for recovery. To do.

  Then, the person in charge makes the amount of money constituting the change reserve data of the recoverable money data withdrawn from the change machine 22 by the above-described recovery instruction operation, and the operation display unit 31 from the safe. The money corresponding to the change reserve data out of the recoverable money data extracted in accordance with the display of the above and the money corresponding to the change reserve shortage data exchanged in the change machine room 14 are combined, and the next business day The change change reserve is put in a change storage bag or the like and stored in the change locker 44.

[Confirmation of total deposit data]
At the end of the business, at the POS terminal 21 of each store 11, at least the cash amount data in the store 11 other than that taken out as change reserves (including exchange money) are stored in the store 11 at the end of the business. It can be confirmed as the daily payment total data. In other words, in the POS terminal 21, when the terminal control unit 34 receives the operation input for calculating the deposit meter data to the operation display unit 31, the cash amount data is displayed on the operation display unit 31 by denomination. When the person in charge who sees this inputs an operation for confirming the cash amount data to the operation display unit 31, the cash amount data is confirmed as deposit total data and stored in the terminal storage unit 35. .

  In addition, since the amount of coins can be used as change for the next business day, and even for banknotes, low-value banknotes other than 10,000 yen can be used as change for the next business day. An additional amount of money or a part of the change can be specified as an additional change reserve. When additional change reserve data is input by operating the operation display unit 31 before the confirmation operation, the terminal control unit 34 adds The amount data of cash bills other than the change reserve data and the remaining amount data of the designated cash will be displayed by denomination, and the person in charge of seeing this will confirm the cash amount data on the operation display unit 31. When entered, the cash amount data is determined as deposit meter data and stored in the terminal storage unit 35. That is, the cash amount data including the 10,000 yen coupon data-additional change reserve data of the money type (possibly zero) = determination data of the money type is determined.

  As described above, when the deposit amount data of the money type is determined at the POS terminal 21 of the store 11, the terminal controller 34 of the POS terminal 21 determines the deposit amount data of the money type and the store identification of the store 11. The information is associated and transmitted to the deposit management machine 81 in the deposit machine room 13. Then, the receipt management machine control unit 85 of the receipt management machine 81 that has received this information associates the receipt type data of these money types with the store identification information, and receives the receipt management machine storage unit as the receipt type data of the money type of the current business day. 86.

  Further, after the deposit type data of the money type is confirmed at the POS terminal 21 of the store 11, when an operation for withdrawing cash corresponding to the cash type data of the money type is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control is performed. The unit 34 controls the change machine 22 to withdraw cash corresponding to the deposit type data of the denomination and stores in the terminal storage unit 35 that the denomination data of the denomination has been withdrawn. . The person in charge puts the cash corresponding to the deposit amount data of the money type withdrawn in this way into the depositing storage bag.

  In addition, after the deposit amount data for each denomination is confirmed as described above, when an operation for withdrawing cash corresponding to additional change reserve data is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 Then, the change machine 22 is controlled to withdraw cash corresponding to the additional change reserve data, and the terminal storage unit 35 stores that the additional change reserve data has been withdrawn. The person in charge puts the cash corresponding to the additional change reserve data withdrawn in this way into the storage bag for the additional change reserve. Then, the person in charge additionally stores these storage bags in the storage unit 43 for the own store of the change locker 44. Note that the additional change reserve storage bag may be stored in a safe in the store 11.

  In addition, as described above, when the change machine 22 is full, the money for canceling the full is withdrawn from the change machine 22 by the withdrawal process and stored in a safe provided in the store 11 or the like. However, at this time, the terminal control unit 34 stores the money type data of money to be withdrawn and stored in the safe in the terminal storage unit 35. Then, after the deposit meter data of the money type is confirmed as described above, when an operation for withdrawing cash corresponding to the deposit meter data is input, the terminal control unit 34 configures the deposit meter data. When the money in the safe is included in the money, the money type data of the money constituting the deposit meter data out of the money in the safe is displayed on the operation display unit 31. Then, the person in charge takes out the cash in the safe according to this display and puts it in the above-mentioned depositing storage bag together with the cash withdrawn from the change machine 22.

  Similarly, after the deposit meter data for each denomination is determined as described above, when an operation for withdrawing cash corresponding to additional change reserve data is input to the operation display unit 31, the terminal control unit 34 When the money constituting the additional change reserve data includes the currency of the safe in the store 11, the money type of the money constituting the additional change reserve data out of the money in the safe Data is displayed on the operation display unit 31. Then, the person in charge takes out the cash in the safe according to this display, and puts it in the above-described additional change reserve storage bag together with the cash withdrawn from the change machine 22.

[Schedule for the day of the store]
In the store 11, business operations necessary for store operation are performed during the day of business days according to the following schedule. Here, as a premise, at the store 11 side, by the end of the business day, change reserve for the next business day (may include additional change reserve) and sales day ( The cash is stored in the storage unit 43 for the own store of the change locker room 12.

{Morning}
The person in charge at the store 11 goes to the change locker room 12 after working on the previous business day and before the business start time on the current business day, and stores the change reserve from the storage unit 43 for the change locker 44 for the store itself. The bag and, if necessary, an additional change reserve storage bag are taken out and returned to the store 11, and the change machine 22 connected to the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 needs the change reserve stored in these storage bags. Load the amount. That is, when an instruction operation for loading a change reserve is input to the operation display unit 31 of the POS terminal 21, the change machine 22 enters a state of accepting the receipt of money, and in this state, the money is inserted into the change machine 22. Then, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 controls the change machine 22 and stores the inserted money while identifying and counting the changed money. Note that the change reserve not loaded is stored in a safe in the store 11 or the like as a reserve.

  With the above loading operation, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 automatically grasps the cash amount data in the change machine 22. In addition, when there is an unloaded portion, the unloaded portion data is input to the operation display unit 31 of the POS terminal 21, whereby the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 causes the store 11 to operate. The cash amount data at the start is automatically grasped.

  When business on the business day of the store 11 starts, sales receipts stored in the change machine 22 are generated, and change is withdrawn from the change machine 22 as needed every time sales are generated. Accordingly, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 automatically updates the cash amount data of the money type of the change machine 22 (store 11) and stores it in the terminal storage unit 35.

{Predetermined time before the end of the afternoon change machine operation}
In the store 11, the preparation of change reserve for the next business day is started at an appropriate time. At that time, the person in charge uses the POS terminal of his / her store to withdraw change money and change money from the change machine 22, and also goes to the change machine room 14 to use the change machine 101. Then exchange the money. The person in charge puts the change reserve for the next business day prepared in this way into the change storage bag, goes to the change locker room 12, and stores the change locker 44 for the store 43 for the store itself. Store in.

{After closing, before closing}
At the store 11, as described above, the cash amount data of all cash types in the store 11 at the end of the business day can be confirmed as the payment total data on the business day by the POS terminal 21 as described above. It has become. In addition, about some cash, it will be designated as an additional change reserve in the POS terminal 21, and when such a designation | designated operation is input into the operation display part 31, the terminal control part 34 will be designated. High-value banknotes other than those designated as additional change reserves and remaining cash are determined as deposit total data. That is, the amount of cash in cash including the 10,000 yen ticket = the deposit total data of the money type + the additional change reserve data of the money type (which may be zero).

  When the deposit meter data is determined in the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 as described above, the deposit meter data and the store identification information are transmitted to the deposit management machine 81 in the deposit machine room 13 as information associated with the deposit meter data. . Also, cash corresponding to the confirmed deposit meter data is withdrawn from the change machine 22 and placed in a deposit storage bag, and cash equivalent to additional change reserve data is withdrawn from the change machine 22. Similarly, it is put in a storage bag for additional change reserves, and these are additionally stored in the storage unit 43 for the store 11 of the change locker 44. Note that the additional change reserve storage bag may be stored in a safe in the store 11.

“About processing in the change locker room”
The change locker room 12 is available for business hours of large-scale stores such as department stores and shopping centers (for example, from 8:00 to 23:00. During the period of 22:00), the locker room entrance 41 is unlocked and the person in charge of the store 11 can enter and exit.

[Daily schedule of change locker room]
The change locker 44 is used in the following schedule during one day of business days. Here again, as a premise, by the end of the business day, change reserve for the next business day (may include additional change reserve) and sales on the business day (cash + non-cash etc.) Are stored in the storage unit 43 for the own store in the change locker room 12.

{Morning}
The person in charge at the store 11 goes to the change locker room 12 after working on the previous business day and before the business start time of the current business day, takes out the change reserve from the storage unit 43 for his own store, and returns to the store 11. A required amount of change reserve is loaded into the change machine 22 (which may be plural) connected to the POS terminal 21 of the store 11. In addition, the portion that is not loaded is stored in a safe in the store 11 as a spare. In addition, the person in charge of the store 11 has few visitors to the store 11 at the same time when the change locker 44 is taken out from the storage unit 43 for the own store 11 or depending on the congestion state of the depositing machine room 13. In anticipation of the time zone, the storage bag containing the cash of the sales amount of the previous business day is taken out from the storage unit 43 for the own store of the change locker 44, and the payment transaction is made to the deposit machine room 13. . In addition, when the storage unit 43 has a storage bag storing non-cash out of the sales amount of the previous business day, the person in charge of the store 11 puts on the non-cash post 49 installed in the change locker room 12. Post this storage bag.

{Predetermined time before the end of the afternoon change machine operation}
Each store 11 prepares a change reserve for the next business day in accordance with the contents of change reserve data of a predetermined money type by using a change machine 101 as necessary, and a change locker room. 12, the prepared change reserve is stored in the store 43 for the own store of the change locker 44.

  Here, at a stage of a predetermined time that is a predetermined time that is a predetermined time before the change machine operation end time (a time that is a predetermined time before the operation end time of the change machine 101 (for example, 30 minutes before), a locker control unit 46 performs the following change reserve detection processing. That is, the locker control unit 46 confirms the presence / absence of storage items in the storage units 43 of the change locker 44 by the storage detection sensors 45 provided for each, and determines that the next business day's change reserve is not stored. If there is a storage unit 43, the corresponding store identification information is determined from the storage unit identification information of the storage unit 43, and the change preparation prompting information is distributed to the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 having this store identification information. . Then, in the POS terminal 21 that has received the change preparation prompting information, the terminal control unit 34 causes the operation display unit 62 to display an alarm display to that effect. Further, the locker control unit 46 provides change preparation prompting information to the portable terminal 25 of the store identification information corresponding to the storage unit identification information of the storage unit 43 that is determined that the next business day change reserve is not stored. , Send an alarm message to that effect by e-mail. That is, when the locker control unit 46 detects the storage unit 43 in which no change reserve is stored by a predetermined time based on the detection result of the storage detection sensor 45, the locker control unit 46 responds to the storage unit 43. The change preparation prompting information is distributed to the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 and the portable terminal 25 possessed by the person in charge of the store 11. The change preparation prompting information can be output not by the locker control unit 46 but by a control unit of a management machine provided separately.

  The time of the above-described change reserve presence detection process and the change change prompting information distribution process performed by the locker control unit 46 can be set for each store 11, and the change reserve presence detection at a plurality of different times. It is also possible to set the processing and the distribution processing of change preparation prompting information associated therewith. For example, if there is a storage unit 43 that is set to be distributed at a plurality of different times, the presence / absence of a change reserve in the storage unit 43 that is the target of the change locker 44 is checked at each set time. If not, the change preparation prompting information is distributed to the POS terminal 21 and the portable terminal 25 of the store 11 corresponding to the storage unit 43 each time.

  Here, more specifically, the storage detection sensor 45 provided in each storage unit 43 is a weight sensor that can detect the weight of the stored items stored in the corresponding storage unit 43, so that the locker control is performed. The unit 46 performs the following control.

  The locker control unit 46 calculates the corresponding store identification information from the storage unit identification information of the target storage unit 43 when performing the change reserve presence / absence detection process at a predetermined time before the change machine operation end time. The POS terminal 21 of the store 11 having the identification information is accessed, and the change reserve data of the money type of the next business day of the store 11 stored in the POS terminal 21 is read. That is, since the terminal storage unit 35 of the POS terminal 21 of each store 11 stores change reserve data of the money type necessary for the operation of the next business day of the store 11 where the POS terminal 21 is provided. The locker control unit 46 reads this information. When the change reserve information of the store 11 is output from the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 to the locker control unit 46, and this change reserve information is stored in the locker storage unit 47, the locker storage is performed. The data may be read from the unit 47.

  The locker control unit 46 calculates change reserve reference weight data from the change-type reserve data of the denomination read out as described above, and stores it in the locker storage unit 47. In other words, the change reserve reference weight data is calculated by multiplying the number of each denomination that constitutes the denomination change reserve data by the reference weight of each denomination and adding them up for all denominations. And stored in the locker storage unit 47. An error range is set in the change reserve reference weight data.

  Then, the locker control unit 46 detects the stored change reserve reference weight data by the storage detection sensor 45 of the storage unit 43 of the corresponding change locker 44 at the stage of the change reserve presence / absence detection process. When the detected weight data is equal to or larger than the change reserve reference weight data including the error range, the storage unit 43 determines that the change reserve has been stored. In other words, whether or not the change reserve storage unit 43 has already been stored by the locker control unit 46 is determined based on the money change data stored in the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 corresponding to the storage unit 43. This is performed by comparing the change reserve reference weight data calculated from the above and the detected weight data actually detected by the storage detection sensor 45 of the storage unit 43.

  When the detected weight data is less than the change reserve reference weight data including the error range, the locker control unit 46 determines that the change reserve is not stored, and in that case, the change reserve is stored. The change preparation prompting information is distributed to the POS terminal 21 and the portable terminal 25 having the store identification information corresponding to the storage unit identification information of the storage unit 43 determined not to be present.

  In addition, as a timing of execution of the above-described change reserve presence / absence detection process for distributing the change preparation prompt information, for example, when fixed uniformly at all stores 11, for example, 30 minutes before the change machine operation end time And In consideration of the business convenience of each store 11, this time may be set and changed for each store 11 to an arbitrary time before the change machine operation end time. In this case, an operation input is made via the operation display unit 31 of the POS terminal 21 of the necessary store 11, and the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 receives the operation input and associates it with the store identification information. In response to this, the locker control unit 46 stores the time information in the locker storage unit 47 in association with the store identification information. And when the time of this time information comes, the locker control part 46 performs the said change reserve presence detection process with respect to the storage part 43 which has the storage part identification information corresponding to the shop identification information linked | related with this time information. Run.

  Then, the locker control unit 46 further performs the change reserve presence / absence detection processing based on the detection result of the storage detection sensor 45 similar to the above on all the storage units 43 at the operation end time of the money changer 101, and If there is a storage unit 43 that can be determined that the change reserve is not stored by the operation end time, the POS terminal 21 having store identification information corresponding to the storage unit identification information of the storage unit 43 Distributes money changer operation end information. Then, in the POS terminal 21 that has received the change machine operation end information, the terminal control unit 34 causes the operation display unit 62 to display an alarm display to that effect. In addition, the locker control unit 46 is provided for the portable terminal 25 having store identification information corresponding to the storage unit identification information of the storage unit 43 that can determine that the change reserve is not stored by the operation end time of the money changer 101. Then, as a change machine operation end information, an alarm text to that effect is sent by e-mail. Note that the locker control unit 46 may distribute the change machine operation end information to the POS terminals 21 and the mobile terminals 25 of all stores 11 at the operation end time of the change machine 101.

{Night (after business hours, before closing)}
Each store 11 specifies and collects the sales to be deposited (classified as cash and non-cash etc.), goes to the change locker room 12 and stores it in the storage unit 43 for the store 11. Here, as described above, since the change reserve for the next business day is already prepared at this time, all the cash in the store 11 can be collected as sales. Of course, coins and low-value banknotes that were generated or not used after the creation of change reserves can be used as change on the next business day, so for example, only high-denomination banknotes should be deposited. The sales proceeds are identified and collected, and in this case, the sales proceeds and additional change reserves are handled. That is, as described above, the amount of cash included in the money type including the 10,000 yen ticket = the deposit amount data in the money type + the additional change reserve data in the money type (there may be zero). The sales amount and the like specified in this manner are put in a storage bag by a person in charge of the store 11 and stored in the storage unit 43 for the store 11 of the change locker 44 before leaving the office.

{At the end of work}
In the change locker room 12, the opening / closing door 42 of the locker room entrance / exit 41 is locked by the person in charge so that the entrance / exit is impossible, and the opening / closing door 52 of the deposit machine room entrance 51 between the change machine locker room 12 and the locker room 13. Will also be locked.

"About processing in the deposit machine room"
The deposit management machine 81 provided in the deposit machine room 13 is connected to a large number of deposit machines 61, and individually controls its operation. That is, all the depositing machines 61 can accept deposits by receiving an operation instruction signal from the deposit management machine 81, and can not accept deposits without receiving an operation instruction signal. The deposit management machine control unit 85 of the machine 81 selectively outputs an operation instruction signal to these deposit machines 61.

  In addition, the deposit management machine 81 is provided with a busy day database storing busy day information including busy days and non-busy days for each business day in the deposit management machine storage unit 86. As a first mode, the management machine control unit 85 is based on information indicating whether the previous business day (payment target business day) calculated from the busy day information in the busy day database is a busy day or a non-busy day. It is possible to select and set the first mode in which the number of units is determined and the operation instruction signal is output to the depositing units 61 of the determined number (total number or partial number).

  For example, if the previous business day is a busy day (that is, a holiday, event date, special day, etc.), it is estimated that the sales of the previous business day are large. Therefore, the deposit management machine control unit 85 outputs an operation instruction signal to all the deposit machines 61. On the contrary, if the previous business day is a non-busy day (generally a weekday), it is estimated that the sales of the previous business day are not so much. Since it is estimated that only a part is required, the deposit management machine control unit 85 outputs an operation instruction signal only to a predetermined number of deposit machines 61.

  Even if it is assumed from the busy day information that the previous business day is a busy day and it is necessary to output an operation instruction signal to all the deposit machines 61, it is necessary to start operation. It is not necessary to output an operation instruction signal to all the deposit machines 61 from the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the deposit management machine 81. The number is determined according to the deposit acceptance time zone, and An operation instruction signal is output to the depositing machine 61. The deposit management machine control unit 85, for example, has a variety of preparation tasks for the start of business in the initial predetermined time zone of the business available time zone. Since the number of depositing machines 61 that output operation instruction signals in the belt is small and the deposit processing is often performed at a predetermined time such as in the morning when there are relatively few visitors thereafter, all deposits are made from this time. Since the operation instruction signal is output to the machine 61 and the subsequent payment process is rarely performed in a predetermined time zone such as the afternoon when there are relatively many visitors, the deposit machine outputs the operation instruction signal during this time period. For example, the number of 61 is reduced again. In addition, by controlling the number of units, it is possible to prepare a deposit machine 61 in which no deposit is made at all for the store 11 where a large amount of deposit is expected.

  Also, the deposit management machine control unit 85 switches from a state in which operation instruction signals are output to a small number of deposit machines 61 to a state in which operation instruction signals are output to all the deposit machines 61, at a predetermined time interval. The depositing machine 61 is sequentially operated so that the number of operation instruction signals output gradually increases. On the contrary, the deposit management machine control unit 85 changes the predetermined time interval from the state in which the operation instruction signal is output to all the deposit machines 61 to the state in which the operation instruction signal is output to a small number of deposit machines 61. The depositing machine 61 is sequentially stopped so that the number of the operation instruction signals output gradually decreases.

  Further, in the first mode, the deposit management machine 81 monitors the number of people to be deposited into the deposit machine room 13, thereby grasping the congestion status and outputting the operation instruction signal. That is, it is possible to control the number of operations of the depositing machine 61. In this case, as a method of monitoring the number of persons to be deposited into the deposit machine room 13, the deposit management machine control unit 85 receives the ID card 40 from the deposit machine room entrance card reader 53 provided at the deposit machine room entrance 51. From the number of persons in charge of identifying person-in-charge information and the number of persons in charge of identifying person-in-charge identification information from the ID card 40 by the depositing machine card reader 63 provided in the depositing machine 61 to be performed at the time of deposit transaction by the depositing machine 61. By comparing and detecting these differences, the number of deposit waiting workers who are in the depositing machine room 13 but cannot use the depositing machine 61 is identified, and the number is determined according to the identified number of persons. An operation instruction signal is output to the number of depositing machines 61. As a result, if the number of deposit waiting workers that change in accordance with the congestion situation is larger than the predetermined number, an operation instruction signal is sent to a larger number of depositing machines 61 than the number based on the busy day information and the deposit acceptance time zone information described above. If the number of deposit waiting workers is less than the predetermined number, an operation instruction signal is output to a smaller number of depositing machines 61 than the number based on the busy day information and the deposit acceptance time zone information. Become.

  As a method of grasping the congestion state by the deposit management machine control unit 85, the number of persons in charge identification information read from the ID card 40 by the deposit machine room entrance card reader 53 provided at the deposit machine room entrance 51, and the deposit machine The number of persons waiting for the deposit is determined by comparing these values from the number of persons in charge of identifying the person in charge of the ID card 40 by the deposit machine room exit card reader 56 provided at the room outlet 54 and detecting these differences. The number is determined in the same manner as described above according to the specified number of persons, and an operation instruction signal is sent to the determined number of depositing machines 61 regardless of the number based on the busy day information and the deposit acceptance time zone information. You may make it output.

  Further, the deposit management machine control unit 85 outputs the operation instruction signal and monitors the remaining depositable capacity of the depositing machine 61 in which the depositing operation is progressing. When the denomination is less than or equal to a predetermined amount, a depositing machine 61 that has not yet output an operation instruction signal regardless of the number based on the busy day information and the deposit acceptance time zone information described above. On the other hand, an operation instruction signal is additionally output. As a result, by monitoring the depositable remaining capacity of the deposit machine 61 by type of money, it is still in operation when a lot of sales deposits have occurred even though the previous business day is a non-busy day. It is possible to start operation of additional deposit machines 61 as appropriate.

  Further, when the deposit management machine control unit 85 receives a predetermined manual operation instruction operation via the operation unit 82 of the deposit management machine 81, regardless of the number based on the busy day information and the deposit acceptance time zone information, An operation instruction signal is additionally output to a non-operating depositing machine 61 that has not output an operation instruction signal. Thereby, for example, when a person in charge of the store 11 who makes a large amount of deposit comes, the person in charge inputs a predetermined operation instruction operation to the operation unit 82 of the deposit management machine 81, so that the deposit management machine control unit 85 Then, an operation instruction signal is additionally output to the depositing machine 61 in which no deposit has been made, and cash can be deposited into the depositing apparatus 61.

  In addition, when the deposit management machine control unit 85 receives a predetermined manual non-operation instruction operation via the operation unit 82 of the deposit management machine 81, the deposit management machine control unit 85 regardless of the number based on the busy day information and the deposit reception time zone information described above. Therefore, the operation instruction signal is not output to the depositing device 61 that is scheduled to output the operation instruction signal, that is, the operation instruction. For example, even if the previous business day was originally a busy day at the judgment of the deposit machine room manager, if the previous business day was bad weather and there were not many visitors, It can restrict | limit so that a part of machine 61 may not be operated.

  Further, when the deposit management machine control unit 85 receives a predetermined manual operation suspension operation via the operation unit 82 of the deposit management machine 81, the deposit management machine control unit 85 stops the output of the operation instruction signal to the operated depositing machine 61. Thus, the operation is temporarily controlled to be stopped.

  The payment meter data of the previous business day is output from the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 to the payment management machine 81 of the payment machine room 13 in association with the store identification information, and the payment management machine control unit 85 receives the data. It is stored in the management machine storage unit 86. Therefore, the deposit management machine control unit 85 grasps the total payment data of the previous business day of all the stores 11. For this reason, the deposit management machine control unit 85 predicts the total planned number of deposit machines 61 that can process this deposit meter data based on the deposit meter data on the previous business day of all the stores 11, and makes this prediction. It is also possible to select and set the second mode for outputting the operation instruction signal to the number of depositing machines 61. That is, the deposit management machine control unit 85 grasps the total deposit number data of the money type from the deposit total data for each store 11 stored in the deposit management machine storage unit 86, thereby determining the number of deposit machines 61 to be operated. And an operation instruction signal is output to the predicted number of depositing machines 61.

  Even in the second mode, even if it is necessary to output an operation instruction signal to all the depositing machines 61 from the total deposit number data of the money type, the deposit management machine control unit 85 In the same manner as in the first mode, the number of units is determined according to the deposit acceptance time period without outputting an operation instruction signal to all the depositing devices 61 from the beginning, and the determined number of depositing devices 61 is transferred. The operation instruction signal is set to be output. In this case, when the number of units increases or decreases, the number of units that output the operation instruction signal is gradually increased or decreased, and the depositing device 61 is sequentially operated or stopped. It is supposed to let you.

  Also in the second mode, as in the first mode, the number of depositing machines 61 that monitor the number of deposit recipients to the depositing machine room 13 to grasp the congestion status and output an operation instruction signal. That is, the number of operations of the depositing machine 61 is increased or decreased. In other words, the deposit management machine control unit 85 determines the number of persons in charge identification information read from the ID card 40 by the deposit machine room entrance card reader 53 provided at the deposit machine room entrance 51 and the deposit machine 61 performs a deposit transaction. The difference between the number of persons in charge of the person-in-charge identification information read from the ID card 40 by the depositing machine card reader 63 is detected, or the depositing machine room entrance card reader 53 provided at the depositing machine room entrance 51 receives the difference from the ID card 40. By detecting the difference between the number of persons in charge of identifying person-in-charge information and the number of persons in charge of identifying person-in-charge information from the ID card 40 by the deposit machine room exit card reader 56 provided at the deposit machine room outlet 54 Specify the number of waiting workers, determine the number according to the specified number, and regardless of the total deposit amount data of the money type, this determined number of deposit machines It outputs an operation instruction signal to 1.

  Also in this second mode, the deposit management machine control unit 85 has already output the operation instruction signal and monitors the depositable remaining capacity of the deposit machine 61 in which the depositing operation has progressed. As in mode 1, if any one of the remaining depositable capacities for a denomination falls below a predetermined amount, the operation instruction signal is still output regardless of the total deposit amount data for that denomination. An operation instruction signal is output to the depositing machine 61 that has not been output, and when a predetermined operation instruction operation is manually received via the operation unit 82 of the deposit management machine 81, a deposit of a denomination is made. Regardless of the total number data, an operation instruction signal is output to a non-operating depositing machine 61 that does not output an operation instruction signal, and a predetermined non-operation instruction is manually performed via the operation unit 82 of the deposit management machine 81. When you receive the operation, Regardless of the total number of pieces of data, the depositing device 61 that is scheduled to output an operation instruction signal, that is, the operation scheduled signal, is regulated not to output an operation instruction signal. When the operation pause operation is received, output of the operation instruction signal is stopped with respect to the already-operated depositing machine 61, and the operation is temporarily stopped.

[Deposit machine guidance control]
When the person in charge enters the deposit machine room 13, the deposit machine room entrance card reader 53 provided at the deposit machine room entrance 51 reads the person in charge identification information from the ID card 40. The payment meter data of the previous business day is output from the POS terminal 21 in association with the store identification information related to the person-in-charge identification information, and this is stored in the payment management machine storage unit 86 of the payment management machine 81. Then, using these pieces of information, the deposit management machine control unit 85 performs the following deposit machine guidance control.

  When the deposit management machine control unit 85 reads the person-in-charge identification information from the ID card 40 by the deposit machine room entrance card reader 53 at the deposit machine room entrance 51 during the deposit transaction, the deposit management machine control unit 85 accesses the deposit management machine storage unit 86 to manage the deposit. Store identification information stored in association with the person-in-charge identification information is read from the machine storage unit 86, and payment data for the previous business day is stored in association with the store identification information. Then, the deposit meter data of this money type is compared with the depositable remaining capacity of the money type of the plurality of depositing machines 61 outputting the operation instruction signal, and a deposit transaction is performed in any of the depositing machines 61. A deposit transaction determination process is performed to determine whether or not. In other words, the deposit management machine control unit 85 includes the deposit machines 61 that output the operation instruction signal, and the deposit machines 61 that have a denomination whose deposit type data of the denomination exceeds the remaining depositable capacity of the denomination are deposited. Instead of determining as the depositing machine 61 that performs the transaction, the depositing machine 61 whose deposit type data for each denomination is within the depositable remaining capacity for all denominations is determined as the depositing machine 61 that performs the deposit transaction. If there are a plurality of depositing machines 61 that satisfy the conditions, the depositing machine 61 is determined to perform a deposit transaction according to a preset order, for example. Thus, since the depositing machine 61 whose depositable remaining capacity ≧ payout meter data is automatically determined, the depositing machine 61 is filled in the middle of the depositing process by performing a deposit transaction in the depositing machine 61. It will never happen, and the deposit process can be completed reliably. Further, even if there is a depositing machine 61 having a small depositable remaining capacity for each type of money, the person-in-charge identification information related to the store identification information having the deposit total data within the range is read by the depositing machine room entrance card reader 53. Then, the deposit management machine control unit 85 guides the person in charge to the deposit machine 61 and uses it effectively. In this deposit transaction determination process, as described above, both bills and coins are stored in a common storage unit. The depositable remaining capacity of the depositing machine 61 is compared to determine which depositing machine 61 is to perform the deposit transaction.

  Then, the deposit management machine control unit 85 receives the deposit machine identification information of the deposit machine 61 that performs the deposit transaction, which is the decision information determined in the deposit transaction determination process, and displays the deposit unit 61 and the deposit machine room 13. To the depositing guidance display unit 70, and for the depositing machine 61 having the depositing machine identification information, which is the same as the determination information, the person-in-charge identification read by the depositing machine room entrance card reader 53 in the depositing transaction determining process. The store identification information associated with the information and the person-in-charge identification information is output.

  Then, the display unit 83 and the deposit guide display unit 70 of the deposit management machine 81 display the received deposit machine identification information, that is, the number of the deposit machine 61 that performs the deposit transaction, and should be used. The deposit machine 61 is transmitted to the person in charge. Further, the depositing machine control unit 67 of the depositing machine 61 that has the above-described depositing machine identification information and causes the depositing transaction to be performed displays the person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information on the depositing machine call display unit 65 of the depositing machine 61. At the same time, the person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information are output by voice at the depositing machine voice generating unit 64, thereby transmitting the depositing machine 61 to be used to the responsible party. That is, when the person in charge including the person in charge enters the deposit machine room 13, for example, the person-in-charge identification information displayed on the deposit machine call display unit 65 of one of the plurality of deposit machines 61 and By looking at the store identification information and heading for the deposit machine 61, it is possible to conduct a deposit transaction without worrying about the depositable remaining capacity of the deposit machine 61 and the deposit meter information (deposit amount) to be deposited, and The deposit transaction is definitely completed. Note that only one of the person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information is output to the depositing machine 61 for conducting the deposit transaction, and only one of the information is displayed on the depositing machine call display unit 65 to display the depositing machine voice generating unit 64. You may make it output a sound by.

  Here, there is a case where the depositing machine 61 for performing the deposit transaction determined in the deposit transaction determining process is in the process of depositing, and the depositing machine control unit 67 of the depositing machine 61 is in the process of performing another deposit transaction. In some cases, even if the person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information are output from the deposit management machine control unit 85, the deposit machine call display unit 65 and the deposit machine voice generation unit 64 of the deposit machine 61 receive these deposit incoming room users. The identification information and the store identification information are not displayed and output by voice, and the person in charge is not called. When the depositing operation of the depositing machine 61 is completed, the room identification information and the store identification information to be called next are called by the display on the depositing machine call display unit 65 and the voice output from the depositing machine voice generating unit 64. To.

  In addition, when the deposit machine 61 for performing the deposit transaction determined in the deposit transaction determination process is not available immediately after another deposit transaction operation, the deposit management machine control unit 85 takes charge of the deposit guidance display unit 70 in charge. The machine identification information, that is, the machine number of the depositing machine 61 that performs the deposit transaction in association with the user identification information and the store identification information is clearly indicated as the information of the depositing machine 61 scheduled to be used (for example, displayed in advance) (for example, , ● Unit: ○○ store (◎◎◎ No. store), ■ Unit: □ mouth store (△△△ No. store), etc.). Thereby, the person in charge can know the situation of waiting for the order of the deposit transaction and which deposit machine 61 the deposit transaction is to be made. That is, when entering the deposit machine room 13, for example, when deposit transactions are made in all the deposit machines 61, even if the deposit machine 61 to be processed is displayed on the display unit 83 of the deposit management machine 81, For example, the person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information that should be called next or can be called next are displayed in advance in association with the deposit machine identification information.

In the deposit machine guidance control described above, the following control is further possible.
Each depositing device 61 may be unable to perform a deposit transaction due to various errors. In this case, the depositing device 61 returns the cash that is being deposited. When this error occurs, the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the deposit management machine 81 gives priority to this transaction and makes a priority call for guiding to the other deposit machine 61.

  That is, when a return process is selected when an error occurs, the depositing machine 61 that performs this return process returns the cash that was about to be deposited, and a return process is performed on the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the deposit management machine 81. The return information to the effect will be output. Upon receipt of this return information, the deposit management machine control unit 85 identifies the person in charge identification information related to the deposit transaction determination process, the store identification, which is determined as the deposit machine 61 for performing the deposit transaction. The information and the deposit meter data associated with the store identification information are read from the deposit management machine storage unit 86, and this deposit meter data is again stored in the remaining deposit machines 61 excluding the deposit machine 61 related to the occurrence of this error. In addition to performing the re-determination process to determine which deposit machine 61 is to perform the deposit transaction by the same judgment as the above-described deposit transaction determination process, the person in charge involved in this re-determination process The identification information and the store identification information are given priority over other person-in-charge identification information and store identification information with respect to the depositing machine 61 that performs the re-determined deposit transaction. It is adapted to produce beauty.

  Therefore, when there is one or more person-in-charge identification information and store identification information to be called next in the depositing machine 61 that is determined in this redetermination process and is to perform the deposit transaction, the deposit management machine control unit 85 In addition to reading the payment meter data associated with the one or more person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information from the deposit management machine storage unit 86, the deposit total data is compared with the remaining depositable capacity of the plurality of deposit machines 61, Whether or not the deposit machine 61 is to perform a deposit transaction is determined again by the same determination as in the deposit transaction determination process described above, and the deposit machine 61 to be used is determined again.

  In the deposit transaction at the deposit machine 61 determined or re-determined as described above, the operator scans the ID card 40 with the deposit machine card reader 63, and as a result, the deposit machine card reader. 63 reads the person-in-charge identification information from the ID card 40. Then, the deposit machine control unit 67 of the deposit machine 61 reads the store identification information corresponding to the person-in-charge identification information from the deposit machine storage unit 68 and determines it as the store identification information in the deposit transaction. The deposit machine control unit 67 associates the store identification information with the deposit machine identification information of the deposit machine 61 and outputs it to the deposit management machine 81 as inquiry information. Then, the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the deposit management machine 81 reads the deposit meter data stored in the deposit management machine storage unit 86 in association with the store identification information, and inquires information based on the deposit machine identification information. Is output to the depositing machine 61 which is the transmission source. Then, the deposit machine control unit 67 causes the operation display unit 62 to display the deposit meter data as deposit meter data in the deposit transaction.

  And if an operator is going to deposit by the deposit meter data displayed on the operation display part 62 of the deposit machine 61, he will input confirmation operation to the operation display part 62, and when confirmation operation is input. The deposit machine control unit 67 confirms this deposit meter data as deposit meter data in the deposit transaction, and stores it in the deposit machine storage unit 68 in association with the confirmed store identification information. Thereafter, when a deposit transaction start operation of the operation display unit 62 is input, the deposit machine control unit 67 shifts to a cash input acceptance state.

  Here, in the depositing machine 61, the depositing machine control unit 67 can correct the deposit meter data read from the deposit management machine storage unit 86 via the deposit management machine control unit 85 before the cash counting. That is, if the person in charge intends to correct the deposit meter data displayed on the operation display unit 62 of the deposit machine 61 and deposit money, the operation display unit 62 inputs new deposit meter data scheduled to be deposited. When new deposit meter data is input on the operation display unit 62 and then a confirming operation is input, the deposit machine control unit 67 receives the new deposit meter data as a deposit meter in this deposit transaction. Confirmed as data, stored in the deposit machine storage unit 68 in association with the determined store identification information, and output to the deposit management machine 81 in association with the store identification information and managed by the deposit management machine control unit 85. The machine storage unit 86 is updated and stored. Thereafter, when a deposit transaction start operation of the operation display unit 62 is input, the deposit machine control unit 67 shifts to a cash input acceptance state.

  In addition, when the deposit meter data is corrected, new deposit meter data can be calculated from the difference data input to the operation display unit 62 with respect to the deposit meter data read from the deposit management machine storage unit 86. . That is, when the type of addition / reduction and the difference data are input to the operation display unit 62, the deposit machine control unit 67 calculates new deposit meter data from the input difference data and displays it in the operation display unit 62. Then, when a confirmation operation is input to the operation display unit 62, the new deposit meter data is confirmed as the deposit meter data in the deposit transaction, and is associated with the confirmed store identification information. The information is stored in the deposit machine storage unit 68, and is output to the deposit management machine 81 in association with the store identification information, and is updated and stored in the deposit management machine storage unit 86 by the deposit management machine control unit 85. Thereafter, when a deposit transaction start operation of the operation display unit 62 is input, the deposit machine control unit 67 shifts to a cash input acceptance state.

  When the state is shifted to the cash insertion acceptance state, the deposit machine control unit 67 of the deposit machine 61 causes the operation display unit 62 to display a display prompting the insertion of money into the deposit machine 61, and the coin is inserted into the deposit machine 61. If it is detected, the deposit machine money processing unit 66 is activated. In other words, the deposit machine money processing unit 66 identifies the inserted money, counts it by denomination, temporarily stores it, and stores the actual deposit data as a result of the cash count as a deposit management machine as described above during this deposit transaction. When there is no correction in the deposit meter data read from the storage unit 86, this deposit meter data is compared with the corrected deposit meter data when there is a correction, and it is determined whether or not they match. Then, the deposit machine control unit 67 displays the actual deposit data and the compared deposit total data on the operation display unit 62 of the deposit machine 61 so that they can be compared with each other. When the deposit meter data matches, the operation display unit 62 displays that the deposit meter data matches, while when the actual deposit data and the deposit meter data do not match, it indicates that they do not match. Is displayed on the operation display unit 62.

  When the approval operation is input to the operation display unit 62 based on this display, the deposit machine control unit 67 stores the money by the deposit machine currency processing unit 66, and the actual deposit data and the read deposit meter data are stored. If they match, they are confirmed as deposit meter data, while if the actual deposit data and the read deposit meter data do not match, the actual deposit data (= cash count result) is confirmed as deposit meter data. Then, the deposit machine control unit 67 stores the confirmed deposit meter data in the deposit machine storage unit 68 in association with the established store identification information and deposits in association with the established store identification information. The data is output to the management machine 81. Then, the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the deposit management machine 81 receives the deposit meter data received in association with the store identification information, and has already been stored in the deposit management machine storage unit 86 in association with the store identification information. Compared with the data, if there is no difference between them, this receipt meter data is not corrected, and this receipt meter data is stored in association with the fact that the payment for the previous business day is completed as receipt information. If there is a difference, the newly accepted deposit meter data is validated, and the deposit meter data stored in the deposit management unit storage unit 86 is corrected to this deposit meter data, and the deposit meter data is included as deposit information. The fact that the payment for the previous business day has ended is stored in association.

  On the other hand, when a cancel operation is input to the operation display unit 62 by looking at the display on the operation display unit 62 of the deposit machine 61, the deposit machine control unit 67 causes the deposit machine currency processing unit 66 to return the money.

[Schedule of the deposit machine room]
The deposit machine room 13 is used in the following schedule during a day of business days.

{Morning}
When the first mode is selected and set, the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the payment management machine 81 selects and sets the second mode based on the busy day database. An operation instruction signal is output to some or all of the deposit machines 61 based on the deposit meter data. As a result, the depositing machine 61 to which the operation instruction signal is input is prepared for operation and stands by in a waiting state for receipt of a deposit transaction.

{Deposit work time}
When a person in charge at the store 11 enters the deposit machine room 13, the person in charge scans the ID card 40 with the deposit machine room entry card reader 53, whereby the deposit machine room entry card reader 53 identifies the person in charge. Information will be read. The person identification information read by the deposit machine room entry card reader 53 is output to the deposit management machine 81, and the deposit management machine control unit 85 of the deposit management machine 81 is associated with the person identification information. The store identification information and the deposit amount data of the money type associated with the store identification information are read from the deposit management machine storage unit 86. Then, the deposit management machine control unit 85 stores the deposit amount data of this type of money and the remaining depositable capacity of the type of money stored in the deposit machine storage unit 68 of the plurality of deposit machines 61 outputting the operation instruction signal. Are compared to determine which depositing machine 61 is to perform the deposit transaction. Then, the deposit management machine control unit 85 displays the machine number, which is the deposit machine identification information of the deposit machine 61 to be deposited, on the display unit 83 of the deposit management machine 81, and the deposit machine of the deposit machine 61 to be deposited. The person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information to be guided to the control unit 67 are output. Then, when there is no depositing worker in the depositing machine 61 to be deposited, the depositing machine control unit 67 of the depositing machine 61 uses the depositing machine call display unit 65 of the depositing machine 61 to identify the person in charge and store identification. The information is displayed, and the person-in-charge identification information and the store identification information are called out by voice at the depositing machine voice generating unit 64 of the depositing machine 61.

  On the other hand, when there is a worker who makes a deposit transaction in the depositing machine 61 to be deposited, the depositing machine control unit 67 of the depositing machine 61 uses the received person identification information and store identification information in the order of deposit transaction. While determining as the tail person identification information and the shop identification information, the person identification information and the shop identification information are not displayed on the deposit machine call display unit 65 of the deposit machine 61, and the deposit machine voice of the deposit machine 61 is displayed. Without making a voice call at the generating unit 64, the depositing information indicating that the deposit transaction is in progress is output to the deposit management machine control unit 85 in association with the depositing machine identification information.

About the change machine room and change machine management room
In all the money changers 101 provided in the money changer room 14, each time the money changer control unit 107 performs the money change process, the money amount input amount data of the money changer input, the money changer input The money-type deposit amount data of the money exchange reserve that has been thrown out and the money-type remaining money amount data of the money exchange reserve remaining in the money change machine 101 are updated and stored in the respective money changer storage units 108.

  The money change management machine control unit 126 of the money change management machine 121 can collect the amount of data of all the money change machines 101. In other words, the money change management machine control unit 126 sends out the money type input amount data of the money exchange principals that have been input from all the money changers 101 and the money type investment of the money exchange reserves that have been thrown out for this input. The money amount data and the money amount remaining amount data of the exchange reserve remaining in the machine are collected and stored in the exchange management machine storage unit 127. Further, the money change management machine control unit 126 sums up the money type input amount data of the money exchange source money of all the money change machines 101 and the money type of the money exchange reserve of all the money change machines 101. The total amount of money thrown out by money amount data and the amount of money remaining in money type by summing up the money amount remaining amount data of the exchange reserves remaining in all the money changers 101 are calculated and stored in the currency exchange management machine. Stored in the unit 127.

  In addition, the money exchange management machine storage unit 127 stores money amount unloaded amount data for money exchange reserves that are prepared for money exchange but are not loaded in any money change machine 101. The entire exchange reserve data for each type of money necessary for the overall operation of the large number of stores 11 constituting the large-scale store group is stored.

That is, before the operation of the money changer 101, each data is as follows.
Currency exchange room amount data = Total remaining amount data by money type + Unloaded amount data by money type Total data entered by money type = 0
Total investment amount data by type = 0

As currency exchange transactions are performed sequentially, these data change as follows.
Total amount data of money type input amount total data = total amount data of money type investment amount total data The remaining money type total amount data decreases with the progress of the exchange transaction, and increases with the supplement of the exchange reserve.
Further, the denomination amount data of the denomination decreases by replenishing the money exchange reserve to the money changer 101.

“About arranging exchange reserves for the entire large-scale store group”
The currency exchange management machine control unit 126 of the currency exchange management machine 121 is operated in an appropriate time zone (preferably after the exchange transaction end time). Arrange exchange reserves for business days. Here, for business days after a predetermined number of days, replenishment of the insufficient exchange reserve requires a request from an external exchange reserve supply center. In the present embodiment, the exchange reserve supply is replenished to the large-scale store group on the next day of the request date performed via the exchange management machine 121 in this embodiment. It will be described as a thing. Therefore, if the request date made via the currency exchange management machine 121 is the first day, the exchange reserve is supplied to the large-scale store group on the second day. It is the third day that the large-scale store group can be loaded into the money changer 101 and used.

  When the exchange management manager inputs an operation for arranging the exchange reserve to the operation unit 122 of the exchange management machine 121, the exchange management machine control unit 126 stores the predetermined amount stored in the exchange management machine storage unit 127. The total exchange reserve data for the money type for the business day (specifically the next business day), the total remaining money amount data, and the uncharged money type data are read and compared Calculate and output the exchange reserve shortage data for the money type that is insufficient. That is, by subtracting the total remaining money amount data and the unloaded amount data for each money type from the total exchange reserve data for each money type, the exchange reserve shortage data for each money type is calculated and output.

  Here, at least for weekdays, for holidays, as the total exchange reserve data for each type of money required for the overall operation of the large number of stores 11 of the large-scale store group stored in the exchange manager storage unit 127, A plurality of pattern data including event dates are preset and stored. Then, the currency exchange manager control unit 126 determines whether the business day after the predetermined number of days (specifically, the business day after the next day) is a weekday, a holiday, or an event date scheduled to be held. And select the total exchange reserve data of the appropriate type of money according to the type, and from the total exchange reserve data of this money type, the total remaining amount data and money type By subtracting the charge amount data from each money type, money exchange reserve shortage data for each money type is calculated and output, and is stored in the money change manager storage unit 127 and displayed on the display unit 123. Further, by the print designation operation on the operation unit 122, the exchange management machine control unit 126 can also print the money exchange reserve shortage data of this money type on the paper surface by the printer unit 125 of the exchange management machine 121. .

  At this time, the exchange management machine control unit 126 of the exchange management machine 121 should collect the total amount data of the exchange reserve shortage data of the denomination based on the calculated exchange reserve shortage data of the denomination. The collected money data of the money exchange principal is determined and output, and is stored in the money changer storage unit 127 and displayed on the display unit 123. As a result, the exchange reserve shortage data for the insufficient money type and the recovered money data, which is the total amount of the exchange principal required to prepare the change reserve for the amount of this exchange reserve shortage data, are exchanged. The manager can be made aware. In addition, according to the print designation operation on the operation unit 122, the exchange management machine control unit 126 prints the money exchange reserve shortage data of this money type and the collected money data of the exchange principal on the paper surface by the printer unit 125 of the exchange management machine 121. It is also possible to do.

  In addition, the currency exchange management machine control unit 126 of the currency exchange management machine 121, after the exchange machine operation end time for ending the operation of the money changer 101, after the currency exchange tightening process for ending the operation of all the money changers 101 in the money changer room 14, Based on the total investment amount data calculated as described above on the current business day, the daily management necessary for the overall operation of the large number of stores 11 of the large-scale store group stored in the exchange manager storage unit 127. Update and store the total exchange reserve data for each type of money. At the time of this update storage, the currency exchange manager control unit 126 determines appropriate total amount of money to be invested by various calculation methods, and for example, for weekdays, holidays, and event holdings. A feature appears in a plurality of pattern data for daily use, and a change reserve for the money changer 101 can be arranged accordingly.

  For example, if the current business day is a weekday, add the total amount of money invested by business day to the cumulative total of the total amount of money invested by weekday and average the result. If the current business day is a holiday, the total amount of money invested by type of the current business day will be changed to Add to the cumulative value and average it, and update and store the value as the total exchange reserve data for the holiday type. If the current business day is the event date, the total amount of money invested by the current business day The data is added to the accumulated value of the total amount of money deposited at the event date so far and averaged, and the value is updated and stored as total exchange reserve data for the event date.

  As described above, the exchange management machine control unit 126 outputs and displays the above-mentioned money exchange reserve shortage data of the money type on the display unit 123 of the exchange management machine 121 and displays it on the operation unit 122. When an operation is input, it is output to the printer unit 125 and printed on the paper surface. Further, after the calculation, it is automatically output to an external exchange reserve supply center.

  Note that, when a correction operation is input to the operation unit 122, the currency exchange management machine control unit 126 of the currency exchange management machine 121 corrects the money exchange reserve shortage data of the calculated money type according to the correction operation. . When the money exchange reserve shortage data for the money type is corrected in this way, the money exchange management machine control unit 126 updates and stores the money exchange reserve shortage data for the money type after the correction in the money exchange management machine storage unit 127. Further, the recovery amount data of the exchange principal to be collected, which is the total amount data of the exchange reserve shortage data of the money type, is determined based on the corrected money shortage reserve data of the money type displayed on the portion 123. Are output and displayed on the display unit 123. When a print instruction operation is input to the operation unit 122, these data are output to the printer unit 125 to be printed on the paper.

"Operation status of the money changer room"
In the currency exchange manager 121, the currency exchange manager control unit 126 reads out the operation status of the plurality of currency exchange machines 101, whereby the operation status of the currency exchange machine room 14, that is, whether or not it is congested. Can be output to the POS terminal 21 of the store 11 that has received the inquiry. For example, if the ratio obtained by dividing the total number of currency exchange machines 101 by the total number of currency exchange machines 101 is higher than a predetermined value, the currency exchange manager control unit 126 determines that the currency exchange machine room 14 is congested. If this ratio is equal to or less than the same predetermined value, it is determined that the money changer room 14 is not congested.

  Thus, for example, when the operation status inquiry information is output from the POS terminal 21 to the currency exchange management machine control unit 126 of the currency exchange management machine 121, the currency exchange management machine control unit 126 sends the operation status inquiry information to the POS terminal 21 that has output the operation status inquiry information. On the other hand, the congestion status of the money changer room 14 at that time is output, and the POS terminal 21 that has received this output displays this congestion status on the operation display unit 31. In other words, the terminal control unit 34 of the POS terminal 21 reads the operation status of the money changer room 14 and outputs it together with the output of the money change shortage data for each denomination.

Alternatively, the exchange management machine control unit 126 outputs the operation status of the exchange machine room 14 to the POS terminals 21 of all the stores 11 at a predetermined time interval, and the POS terminal 21 that has received the output outputs this congestion status. Is always displayed on the operation display unit 31.
By these controls, as described above, the person in charge can shift to a currency exchange transaction in consideration of the congestion status of the money changer room 14 when creating the change reserve at the store 11.

"Preparation status of exchange reserves at each store"
As described above, the money changer 101 is provided with the money changer card reader 103 that reads the person-in-charge identification information from the ID card 40 possessed by the person in charge. The money changer control unit 107 of the money changer 101 The person-in-charge identification information read by the machine card reader 103 is output to the currency exchange management machine 121. Then, in the currency exchange management machine 121, the currency exchange management machine control unit 126 grasps store identification information stored in correspondence with the currency exchange management machine storage unit 127 from this person-in-charge identification information. That is, the exchange manager control unit 126 can identify the store identification information of the store 11 to which the person in charge who is the changer belongs. Then, the currency exchange management machine control unit 126 stores, in the currency exchange management machine storage unit 127, the contents of the currency exchange process performed by the currency exchange machine 101 for each of the identified store identification information.
