Description

The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus that is installed in various commercial facilities such as a supermarket, a shopping center, and a pachinko store, and executes an input (payment) transaction of cash (for example, sales at a store ) .

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a cash processing apparatus that is installed in various commercial facilities such as a supermarket, a shopping center, a pachinko parlor, and the like and executes a transaction for depositing (paying) cash (for example, sales at a store ) (for example, Patent Document 1). And Patent Document 2). This cash processing apparatus communicates with a host computer of a financial institution and executes an input transaction based on account information stored in an account information storage medium possessed by an operator. Hereinafter, an example of a transaction for inputting (depositing) sales proceeds at a store will be mainly described.

The “account information storage medium” is a medium for executing cash ( sales at a store ) input (payment) transaction. The account information storage medium stores account information for designating an account of a deposit destination of sales proceeds at the store (for example, the head office of the store or the district management center). The account information storage medium is generally configured as an IC card or a magnetic card. Hereinafter, the account information storage medium is referred to as “insertion card”.

  When the insertion card is set (placed) on the card reader unit by the operator, the cash processing apparatus reads account information from the insertion card, and further, when the cash equivalent to the sales proceeds by the operator Execute cash discrimination and counting. Then, the cash processing device communicates with the host computer installed in the cash management center of the financial institution based on the read account information, and receives the money amount information that is the result of the discrimination and counting of the inserted cash. , Deposit money into the deposit account specified by the account information. As a result, the cash processing apparatus executes a transaction for sales proceeds.

  A cash processing apparatus generally has execution functions such as (1) input (payment) transaction, (2) counting transaction, and (3) sorting counting transaction.

  (1) The input (payment) transaction is, as described above, a transaction in which cash amount information corresponding to the sales proceeds at the store is deposited into the account of the deposit destination designated by the account information stored in the input card. It is.

  In the input transaction, the operator selects the “input” button from the menu screen displayed on the display operation unit, sets an input card registered in advance in the card reader unit, and inserts the input card into the cash processing apparatus. To read account information from. The “display operation unit” is a component that displays a screen to be visually recognized by the operator and receives an operation by the operator. The “menu screen” is a screen for allowing the operator to select a transaction process to be executed from various transaction processes prepared in advance.

  When the cash processing apparatus determines that the input card is a pre-registered card, the cash processing apparatus permits an input transaction and instructs the operator to input the cash corresponding to the sales amount into the input unit (hereinafter, “ "Cash input screen" is displayed on the display operation unit. In accordance with the “cash insertion screen”, the operator inserts cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) corresponding to the sales proceeds into the insertion unit, and presses the “start” button displayed on the “cash insertion screen”. In response to this, the cash processing apparatus separates and conveys the inserted cash, and executes discrimination and counting of cash in the discrimination unit.

  The cash processing device accumulates the cash identified as normal bills (banknotes) or normal coins (coins) by the discrimination unit in the temporary holding unit, and then stores each in a safe unit in the cash processing device.

  Moreover, a cash processing apparatus conveys the cash discriminated as a rejection ticket (banknote) or rejection coin (coin) of unknown denomination etc. by a discrimination part to a rejection part, and returns it to an operator. The returned cash can be re-entered into the cash processing apparatus, and the discrimination and counting by the discrimination unit can be executed again. When the discriminating unit discriminates the reintroduced cash as a normal ticket or a normal currency, the reintroduced cash is stored in the safe unit in the cash processing apparatus. On the other hand, when the discriminating unit discriminates the reintroduced cash as a reject ticket or a reject currency, the reintroduced cash is returned to the operator again. When there is returned cash, the operator will later submit the returned cash to the payment destination (for example, the head office of the store, the district management center, etc.) by another means (for example, mail or bring-in). .

  The cash processing apparatus transmits the account information read from the inserted card and the money amount information stored in the safe unit in the cash processing apparatus to the host computer of the cash management center. In response to this, the host computer deposits cash amount information into the deposit destination account specified by the account information of the input card.

(2) The counting transaction is a transaction for counting the cash that the operator has inserted into the input unit.
In the count transaction, the operator selects a “count” button from the menu screen displayed on the display operation unit. In response to this, the cash processing apparatus displays a cash insertion screen on the display operation unit. The operator inserts cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) into the input unit according to the “cash input screen” and presses the “start” button displayed on the cash input screen. In response to this, the cash processing apparatus separates and conveys the inserted cash, and executes discrimination and counting of cash in the discrimination unit.

  The cash processing apparatus accumulates the cash identified as normal bills (banknotes) or normal coins (coins) by the discrimination section in the temporary holding section, and then stores each of them in the cashbox within the safe section from the return section. Return to the operator. Moreover, a cash processing apparatus conveys the cash discriminated as a rejection ticket (banknote) or rejection coin (coin) of unknown denomination etc. by a discrimination part to a rejection part, and returns it to an operator. At this time, the cash processing apparatus displays the cash discrimination and counting results by the discrimination unit on the display operation unit.

(3) The sorting counting transaction is a transaction in which the cash inserted by the operator into the input unit is sorted for each specified denomination.
The sorting counting transaction is almost the same operation as the counting transaction. However, in the sorting counting transaction, the cash entered by the operator into the input unit is sorted into the designated number set by the operator for each denomination and accumulated in the temporary holding unit, and then returned from the return unit to the operator. This is different from the counting transaction.

  In addition, the cash processing apparatus has a withdrawal function and may be configured to pay out change reserves.

  This cash processing apparatus has, as an input unit, a bill input unit for inputting banknotes and a coin input unit for inputting coins. However, unlike the automatic transaction apparatus (ATM), the cash processing apparatus is not provided with the shutter in the banknote insertion part and the coin insertion part so that it is possible to additionally insert banknotes and coins during counting. The insertion unit and the coin insertion unit are open.

  The banknote insertion unit of the cash processing apparatus is configured to load with a part of the banknote exposed to the outside so that the operator can easily insert and remove the banknote. In addition, the coin insertion unit has a deep bottom so that a large amount of coins can be inserted.

Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-16493 JP-A-62-35994

  However, as will be described below, the conventional cash processing apparatus may leave cash (particularly coins) remaining in the input part, and this causes the remaining cash to be deposited into the wrong deposit destination. There was a problem that there was a case.

  The cash processing apparatus has a configuration in which a bill insertion unit and a coin insertion unit are opened, and a bill and a coin can be additionally inserted during counting. For this reason, the cash processing apparatus (1) is instructed to cancel the transaction during counting (when the operator presses the “Cancel” button or “Return” button during counting), or (2) is inserted. After the counting of the cash is completed and the deposit amount is confirmed, when the operator additionally inserts banknotes and coins, the cash remains in the insertion unit.

  The bill insertion part is configured to expose a part of the remaining bills to the outside. Moreover, the remaining banknotes in the banknote insertion unit are stacked in the same posture (that is, in an aligned state). Therefore, the operator can easily find the remaining banknote in the banknote insertion unit and can easily remove the residual banknote from the banknote insertion unit. As a result, the operator did not leave the cash processing apparatus with the banknote remaining in the banknote insertion unit. Therefore, the conventional cash processing apparatus is hardly left in a state where a remaining banknote is generated in the banknote insertion unit.

  On the other hand, the coin insertion part has a deep bottom structure. In addition, the remaining coins in the coin insertion unit are inserted in a disjointed posture (in an unaligned state). Therefore, the operator may miss the coins remaining in the coin insertion unit. As a result, the operator may leave the cash processing apparatus with the coin remaining in the coin insertion unit. Therefore, the conventional cash processing apparatus may be left in a state where residual coins are generated in the coin insertion unit.

  In addition, some cash processing apparatuses have a configuration in which the remaining banknotes in the banknote insertion unit and the residual coins in the coin insertion unit are once taken into the apparatus and then transferred to the banknote return unit or the coin return unit and returned to the operator. is there.

  In the cash processing apparatus having this configuration, the remaining banknotes in the banknote insertion unit are stacked in the same posture and stacked (that is, in an aligned state). Therefore, the cash processing apparatus having this configuration can immediately take the remaining banknotes into the apparatus and transport them to the banknote return unit. Therefore, the cash processing apparatus having this configuration can return the remaining banknotes in the banknote insertion unit to the operator without causing a time difference. As a result, the cash processing apparatus having this configuration is rarely left in a state where the remaining banknotes are generated in the banknote insertion unit.

  On the other hand, in the cash processing apparatus having this configuration, the remaining coins of the coin insertion unit are inserted in a disjointed posture (in a non-aligned state). For this reason, the cash processing apparatus having this configuration cannot immediately take the residual coins into the apparatus and transport them to the coin return unit. Therefore, in the cash processing apparatus having this configuration, a time difference occurs until the remaining coins in the coin insertion unit are returned to the operator. As a result, the operator may mistakenly recognize that there is no residual coin, and may leave the cash processing apparatus with the coin remaining in the coin insertion unit. Therefore, the cash processing apparatus having this configuration may be left in this state with the remaining coins generated in the coin insertion unit.

  In the conventional cash processing apparatus, when cash (especially, coins) remains in the input unit and the next operator enters a transaction, the cash of the previous operator remaining in the input unit is input by the next operator. Therefore, the remaining amount is mistakenly deposited into another account (a deposit destination account stored in a deposit card held by the next operator). Thereby, the cash trouble has generate | occur | produced with the conventional cash processing apparatus.

  In addition, although the technique described in patent document 1 is a technique which performs the residual confirmation of the coin of an insertion part at the time of a transaction start, a residual coin is a thing of the last trader, or a present trader. It is not possible to specify. Therefore, the technique described in Patent Document 1 cannot solve such a cash trouble.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problem, and provides a cash processing apparatus that alerts an operator when there is a possibility that coins may remain inside a coin insertion unit. Is the main purpose.

To achieve the above object, the present invention is a cash processing apparatus for performing introduced transaction in cash, and, upon execution of input transactions of the cash, can be added insert coins into the counting of those the developing gold A cash control apparatus, a transaction control unit that executes various transaction processes including the cash input transaction, a display operation unit that displays a screen to be visually recognized by the operator, and an operation by the operator; a bill insertion portion and the coin insertion portion Kigen gold is turned on, a discriminating section for performing discrimination and counting of the cash submitted by the operator, and the bill safe unit and the coin safe portion for accommodating cash to be credited, a banknote return part and the coin return unit for integrated cash to be returned to the operator, and a transport mechanism for transporting cash in place, the transaction controller, to the counting in front Kigen gold When the operator instructs cancellation of the insertion transaction, the transport mechanism is configured to return the remaining coins in the coin insertion unit to the display operation unit after transporting the counted coins to the coin return unit. It is set as the structure which displays an insertion part coin return guidance screen.

  In this cash processing apparatus, when there is a possibility that coins may remain inside the coin insertion unit, the display operation unit displays the insertion unit coin return guidance screen when the operator instructs cancellation of the insertion transaction. To alert the operator. Thereby, this cash processing apparatus can prevent being left in the state where the remaining coin has generated inside the coin insertion part.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when there exists a possibility that the coin may remain in the inside of a coin insertion part, the cash processing apparatus which alerts an operator can be provided.

The cash processing apparatus 11 according to the first embodiment is an apparatus that executes an input (payment) transaction of cash (for example, sales at a store ) . The cash processing apparatus 11 has the same function as an automatic transaction apparatus (ATM) installed in a bank or the like. The cash processing apparatus 11 can execute various transactions such as “input (payment)”, “count”, and “selection count” by an operation from the operation display unit 24. Hereinafter, an example of a transaction for inputting (depositing) sales proceeds at a store will be mainly described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of cash processing apparatuses 11 are installed in various commercial facilities (mainly backyards of commercial facilities) such as supermarkets, shopping centers, and pachinko parlors. Each cash processing apparatus 11 is communicably connected to a host computer 12 installed in a cash management center of a financial institution via a communication line 13. The cash processing apparatus 11 communicates with the host computer 12 based on the account information stored in the account information storage medium 14 possessed by the operator. The host computer 12 executes transmission / reception of messages related to various transactions with the cash processing apparatus 11 via the communication line 13 to determine whether the transaction is successful.

The “account information storage medium 14” is a medium for executing cash ( sales at a store ) input (payment) transaction. The account information storage medium 14 stores account information for designating an account of a sales deposit destination (for example, the head office of the store or a district management center). The account information storage medium 14 is generally configured as an IC card or a magnetic card. Hereinafter, the account information storage medium 14 is referred to as “insertion card 14”. Here, the insertion card 14 is configured as a non-contact type IC card that performs wireless non-contact communication with the non-contact type card reader unit 25 (see FIG. 2) described later of the cash processing apparatus 11. It shall be.

  When the insertion card 14 is set (placed) on the non-contact card reader unit 25 by the operator, the cash processing apparatus 11 reads the account information from the insertion card 14, and further, the cash corresponding to the sales proceeds by the operator. When it is inserted into the bill insertion unit 26 and the coin insertion unit 27, cash discrimination and counting are executed. Then, the cash processing apparatus 11 communicates with the host computer 12 based on the read account information, and determines the amount information that is the result of the discrimination and counting of the input cash as the deposit destination specified by the account information. Deposit money into your account. As a result, the cash processing apparatus 11 executes the sales transaction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cash processing apparatus 11 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a proximity sensor 23,
Display operation unit 24, non-contact card reader unit 25, bill insertion unit 26, coin insertion unit 27, discrimination unit 28, bill rejection unit 29, bill return unit 30, bill safe unit 31, coin rejection unit 32, coin return unit 33, a coin safe 34, and a transport mechanism 35.

  The control unit 21 is a component that controls the operation of the cash processing apparatus 11. The control unit 21 is configured by a CPU. The control unit 21 functions as, for example, a transaction control unit 21a that controls the execution of various transactions.

  The storage unit 22 is a component that stores various data and programs. The storage unit 22 includes a ROM, a RAM, an HDD, and the like. The storage unit 22 is divided into, for example, an account storage unit 22a for storing account information read from the insertion card 14 and an amount storage unit 22b for storing the counted cash amount information.

  The proximity sensor 23 is a detection unit that detects a person (operator) around the cash processing apparatus 11. When the person approaches the cash processing apparatus 11 within a certain range, the proximity sensor 23 outputs a signal notifying that the person has approached the cash processing apparatus 11 to the transaction control unit 21a. The transaction control unit 21a executes processing such as display of an initial screen based on a signal output from the proximity sensor 23 (hereinafter simply referred to as “output signal”).

  The display operation unit 24 is a component that displays a screen to be visually recognized by the operator and receives an operation by the operator. Here, the display operation unit 24 will be described as including a display unit such as a display and an operation unit (input unit) such as a touch panel. The display unit displays, for example, the bill counting result and the state of the device such as “safe unit full (full)”.

  The non-contact card reader unit 25 (hereinafter simply referred to as “card reader unit 25”) is a component that reads account information from the inserted card 14. Here, it is assumed that the card reader unit 25 is configured to perform wireless non-contact communication with the insertion card 14 when the insertion card 14 is set (placed) at a predetermined position. .

  The banknote insertion unit 26 is a component into which banknotes are inserted during execution of insertion (payment) transactions, counting transactions, sorting counting transactions, and the like. The bill insertion unit 26 is not provided with a shutter and is open so that additional bills can be inserted during counting. Moreover, the banknote insertion part 26 is the structure loaded in the state which exposed a part of banknote outside so that an operator may insert and extract a banknote easily.

  In addition, if a residual banknote generate | occur | produces in the banknote insertion part 26, the banknote insertion part 26 becomes a structure which exposes a part of residual banknote outside. In addition, the remaining banknotes in the banknote insertion unit 26 are stacked in the same posture (that is, in an aligned state). Therefore, the operator can easily find the remaining banknote in the banknote insertion unit 26 and can easily remove the residual banknote from the banknote insertion unit 26. As a result, the operator does not leave the cash processing apparatus 11 with the banknotes remaining in the banknote insertion unit 26. Therefore, the cash processing apparatus 11 is hardly left in a state where the remaining banknotes are generated in the banknote insertion unit 26.

  The coin input unit 27 is a component into which coins are input when executing an input (deposit) transaction, a counting transaction, a sorting counting transaction, or the like. The coin insertion unit 27 is not provided with a shutter and can be opened so that additional coins can be inserted during counting. In addition, the coin insertion unit 27 has a deep bottom so that a large amount of coins can be inserted.

  Note that, if residual coins are generated in the coin insertion unit 27, the coin insertion unit 27 has a deep bottom. Moreover, the remaining coins in the coin insertion unit 27 are inserted in a disjointed posture (that is, in a non-aligned state). Therefore, the operator may miss the coins remaining in the coin insertion unit 27. As a result, the operator may leave the cash processing apparatus 11 with the coins remaining in the coin insertion unit 27.

  Therefore, the cash processing apparatus 11 is a screen for alerting the operator when there is a possibility that coins remain inside the coin insertion unit 27 (the insertion unit coin return guidance screen 24i (see FIG. 4I)). Or a selection screen 24e (see FIG. 4E) or the like, and causes the operator to perform a predetermined action according to the displayed screen. As a result, the cash processing apparatus 11 reliably causes the operator to bring back the residual coins inside the coin insertion unit 27, or deposits the cash inside the insertion units 26 and 27 as additional input-treated cash. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the remaining coins from being left in the coin insertion portion 27 while being generated.

  The discriminating unit 28 determines the denomination and trueness of the cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) thrown into the cash processing apparatus 11 or the cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) discharged outside the cash processing apparatus 11. It is a component that distinguishes false.

The banknote reject unit 29 is a component that returns a banknote (reject ticket) that has not been identified as a normal ticket by the discrimination unit 28 to the operator.
The banknote return unit 30 is a component that returns the counted banknotes to the operator in a counting transaction or the like.
The banknote safe unit 31 is a component that stores inserted banknotes identified as normal bills by the discrimination unit 28.

The coin reject unit 32 is a component that returns coins (reject coins) that have not been identified as normal coins by the discrimination unit 28 to the operator.
The coin return unit 33 is a component that returns the counted coins to the operator in a counting transaction or the like.
The coin safe unit 34 is a component that stores the inserted coins identified as normal coins by the discrimination unit 28.
The transport mechanism 35 is a component that transports cash to a predetermined place.

<Operation of cash processing device>
As described above, the cash processing apparatus 11 is a screen for calling attention to the operator when the cash (especially, coins) may remain inside the insertion units 26 and 27 (returning the input unit coins). A guidance screen 24i (see FIG. 4I), a selection screen 24e (see FIG. 4E), and the like) are displayed, and the operator performs a predetermined action according to the displayed screen. As a result, the cash processing apparatus 11 can surely bring back the cash (especially, coins) inside the input units 26 and 27 to the operator, or the cash inside the input units 26 and 27 can be treated as additional input cash. You can deposit money.

  In addition, “when there is a possibility that coins may remain inside the coin insertion unit 27” means, for example, (1) When cancellation of transaction is instructed during counting (specifically, counting is in progress) (When the operator presses the “Cancel” button or the “Return” button), or (2) When the operator finishes counting the inserted cash and confirms the deposit amount, the operator inserts additional coins, etc. Pointing.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the cash processing apparatus 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3D. 3A to 3D are flowcharts showing the operation of the cash processing apparatus according to the first embodiment. The operation of the cash processing apparatus 11 is defined by a program stored in advance in a readable manner in the storage unit 22 (see FIG. 2), and is realized by the control unit 21 (mainly the transaction control unit 21a). Each information is stored in the storage unit 22 so as to be readable, and then used. Each screen displayed on the display operation unit 24 (see FIG. 2) is configured based on information stored in advance in the storage unit 22 so as to be readable. Hereinafter, since these points are conventional means in information processing, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  The transaction control unit 21a of the cash processing apparatus 11 detects that the operator has approached the cash processing apparatus 11 with the proximity sensor 23 (see FIG. 2) (or detects that the operator has touched the display operation unit 24). Then, the “menu screen 24a” shown in FIG. 4A is displayed on the display operation unit 24 as an initial screen. Thereby, transaction control part 21a starts a series of processings shown in Drawing 3A-Drawing 3D.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of a menu screen. The “menu screen 24a” is configured to instruct the operator to select an arbitrary transaction from various transaction items. Here, the operator operates the display operation unit 24 according to the instruction on the menu screen 24a, and selects and presses the “injection (transaction)” button from various transaction items displayed on the menu screen 24a. Shall.

  Then, a touch panel (not shown) of the display operation unit 24 detects the coordinate position of the button pressed by the operator and notifies the transaction control unit 21a of the coordinate position information, and the transaction control unit 21a is as shown in FIG. 3A. Then, based on the coordinate position information, the selection of the “input (transaction)” button from the menu screen 24a by the operator is detected (S105).

  In response to this, the transaction control unit 21a displays the “card lead waiting screen 24b” shown in FIG. 4B on the display operation unit 24 (S110). FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of a card read waiting screen. The “card read waiting screen 24b” is configured to instruct the operator to set (place) the insertion card 14 (see FIG. 1) on the card reader unit 25 (see FIG. 2). Here, it is assumed that the operator sets (places) the inserted card 14 on the card reader unit 25 in accordance with the instruction on the card read waiting screen 24b.

  Then, the transaction control unit 21a causes the card reader unit 25 to perform wireless non-contact communication with the insertion card 14 and execute a read process (S115). As a result, the card reader unit 25 reads information (hereinafter referred to as “card information”) used for the input transaction including the account information of the deposit destination from the input card 14, and uses the read card information as the transaction control unit 21a. Output to.

  In response to this, the transaction control unit 21a temporarily stores the card information in the account storage unit 22a, and then, based on the card information, whether or not the read insertion card 14 is a registered regular insertion card. In particular, it is determined whether or not the account information of the deposit destination is properly read (S120).

  When it is determined in S120 that the read inserted card 14 is a registered regular inserted card (in the case of “Yes”), the process proceeds to S125. On the other hand, if it is determined in S120 that the inserted insertion card 14 that has been read is not a registered regular insertion card (in the case of “No”), the process proceeds to S210 (FIG. 3B) via “B”. Go to Reference).

  When it is determined in S120 that the inserted insertion card 14 that has been read is a registered regular insertion card (in the case of “Yes”), the transaction control unit 21a displays the “cash insertion screen 24c shown in FIG. 4C”. Is displayed on the display operation unit 24 (S125). FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an example of a cash input screen. The “cash insertion screen 24c” is configured to instruct the operator to insert cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) into the insertion units 26 and 27 and press the “start” button. Here, the operator inserts cash corresponding to the sales amount into the input units 26 and 27 in accordance with the instruction on the cash input screen 24c, and further presses the “Start” button displayed on the cash input screen 24c. Shall.

  Then, a cash detection sensor (not shown) provided inside the insertion units 26 and 27 for detecting the presence or absence of cash detects the insertion of cash into the insertion units 26 and 27 by the operator and outputs a detection signal thereof. It outputs to the transaction control part 21a. Transaction control unit 21a detects the input of cash into input units 26 and 27 by the operator based on the detection signal (S130). If the detection signal is not input from the cash detection sensor within a predetermined time after the “start” button is pressed, the transaction control unit 21a returns the process to S105, and the menu screen 24a (FIG. 4A) as an initial screen. Reference) is displayed on the display / operation unit 24, and the processing from S105 onward is executed again.

  After S130, the touch panel (not shown) of the display operation unit 24 detects the coordinate position of the button pressed by the operator and transmits the coordinate position information to the transaction control unit 21a. The transaction control unit 21a displays the coordinate position information. Based on the above, it is detected that the “start” button is pressed (S135).

  After S135, as shown in FIG. 3B, the transaction control unit 21a starts discrimination and counting of cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) inserted into the insertion units 26 and 27 (S140). 4), the “counting screen 24d” shown in FIG. 4D is displayed on the display operation unit 24 (S145). FIG. 4D is a diagram illustrating an example of a counting screen. The “counting screen 24d” is configured to display the number of counted cash (one or both of banknotes and coins) for each denomination.

The transaction control unit 21a temporarily holds the cash (normal ticket and normal coin) that can be deposited into the transport mechanism 35 (see FIG. 2) each time a piece of cash is identified and counted. The cash (rejected ticket and rejected currency) that cannot be deposited is rejected (here, the banknote rejecting unit 29 (see FIG. 2) and the coin rejecting unit 32). (Refer to FIG. 2) or both of them are stored in the reject unit and returned to the operator.
Moreover, the transaction control part 21a memorize | stores the amount information of the counted cash in the amount memory | storage part 22b (refer FIG. 2), whenever the discrimination and count of one piece of cash are performed.
The transaction control unit 21a updates the counted number of cash displayed on the counting screen 24d every time the discrimination and counting of one piece of cash is executed.

  Note that the cash stored in the reject units 29 and 32 (that is, reject bills and reject coins) has a configuration in which the bill reject unit 29 (see FIG. 2) is exposed, and the coin reject unit 32 ( 2) has the same configuration as the return port of the vending machine, for example, so that the operator can extract it as it is. The cash withdrawn by the operator is re-inserted into the input units 26 and 27 and subjected to discrimination and counting, or after being temporarily stored by the operator, another means (for example, mailing, bringing, etc.) To the payment destination (for example, the head office of the store or the district management center).

  The transaction control unit 21a determines whether or not the “stop” button has been pressed by the operator from the “counting screen 24d” shown in FIG. 4D during the counting of cash (S150).

  When it is determined in S150 that the “Cancel” button has been pressed (in the case of “Yes”), the transaction control unit 21a interrupts the counting (S155). Thereafter, the process proceeds to S190 via “C”.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S150 that the “stop” button has not been pressed (in the case of “No”), the transaction control unit 21a performs the discrimination and counting of one piece of cash, It is determined whether or not cash discrimination and counting have been completed (S160). In this determination, a cash detection sensor (not shown) provided inside the input units 26 and 27 or in the vicinity of a cash conveyance path (not shown) detects the presence or absence of cash and notifies the transaction control unit 21a of the presence or absence of cash. Is done by doing.

  When it is determined in S160 that the discrimination and counting of cash has been completed (in the case of “Yes”), the transaction control unit 21a causes the display operation unit 24 to display the “selection screen 24e” illustrated in FIG. 4E. (S165). FIG. 4E is a diagram illustrating an example of the selection screen. The “selection screen 24e” displays the counted number of cash, and selects one of the “confirm” button, “return” button, and “additional input” button to the operator. It is configured to instruct to press the button.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S160 that cash discrimination and counting have not been completed (in the case of “No”), the process returns to S145. As a result, the transaction control unit 21a repeats the processes of S145 to S160.

  After S165, the operator selects one of the “confirm” button, the “return” button, and the “additional input” button displayed on the selection screen 24e according to the instruction on the selection screen 24e. And press it. Then, a touch panel (not shown) of the display operation unit 24 detects the coordinate position of the button pressed by the operator and notifies the transaction control unit 21a of the coordinate position information, and the transaction control unit 21a is based on the coordinate position information. Then, it is determined which button is pressed by the operator (S170).

  When the button pressed by the operator is an “additional input” button in the determination of S170 (in the case of “pressing“ additional input ”), the transaction control unit 21a detects the coordinate position information detected by a touch panel (not shown). Based on the above, it is detected that the operator presses the “additional input” button.

  In this case, the transaction control unit 21a performs discrimination and counting of cash additionally input to the input units 26 and 27 by the operator. That is, the transaction control unit 21a repeats the processes of S140 to S170. As a result, when there is additional cash to be added, the cash processing apparatus 11 can process the cash as additional input-treated cash.

  In addition, when the button pressed by the operator is a “confirm” button in the determination of S170 (in the case of “determine” is pressed), the transaction control unit 21a performs coordinate position information detected by a touch panel (not shown). Based on the above, it is detected that the operator presses the “confirm” button.

  In this case, the transaction control unit 21a displays the “storage screen 24f” shown in FIG. 4F on the display operation unit 24, and causes the transport mechanism 35 (see FIG. 2) to perform the process of S145 (“displaying screen during counting”). The cash stored in a temporary holding unit (not shown) during the processing (i.e., normal bill and normal coin) is stored in the safe unit (here, the banknote safe unit 31 (see FIG. 2) and the coin safe unit 34 ( (See FIG. 2) or both) and housed in the safe (S180). FIG. 4F is a diagram illustrating an example of a storage screen. The “storing screen 24f” is configured to notify the operator that the inserted cash is stored in the apparatus (a safe unit).

  And the transaction control part 21a performs insertion transaction based on the card information of the insertion card 14 read by S115 shown to FIG. 3A (S185). At this time, the transaction control unit 21a stores the money amount information, which is the result of the discrimination and counting performed by the cash discrimination unit 28 (see FIG. 2) inserted into the input units 26 and 27, in the account information stored in the input card 14. The input transaction is executed by depositing into the deposit destination account specified by.

  Further, when the button pressed by the operator is a “return” button (in the case of ““ return ”pressed”) in the determination of S170, the transaction control unit 21a detects the coordinate position information detected by a touch panel (not shown). Based on the above, it is detected that the operator has pressed the “return” button.

  In this case, the transaction control unit 21a returns the counted bills and the counted coins to the transport mechanism 35 (see FIG. 2), respectively, and returns the bills (here, the bill return unit 30 (see FIG. 2) and the coin return). Part 33 (see FIG. 2)) and returned to the operator (S190). Note that the process of S190 is performed after the process of S155 even when the process of S155 is performed. FIG. 3C shows a detailed flow of the process of S190. Hereinafter, the details of the process of S190 will be described with reference to FIG. 3C.

  In the process of S190 ("counted banknote / coin return" process), as shown in FIG. 3C, the transaction control unit 21a first transfers the counted banknotes taken into the apparatus to the transport mechanism 35. It is made to convey to the return part 30 (S190a).

  Next, the transaction control unit 21a causes the display operation unit 24 to display the “return unit banknote removal guidance screen 24g” illustrated in FIG. 4G (S190b). Thereby, the banknote taken in the cash processing apparatus 11 is returned to the operator. In addition, FIG. 4G is a figure which shows an example of a return part banknote extraction guidance screen. The “return section banknote removal guidance screen 24g” is configured to instruct the operator to remove banknotes from the banknote return section 30.

  Thereafter, the transaction control unit 21a causes the transport mechanism 35 to transport the counted coins (including banknotes stored in the reject unit 29 at the time of discrimination and counting) to the coin return unit 33 (S190c).

  Next, the transaction control unit 21a causes the display operation unit 24 to display the “return unit coin take-out guidance screen 24h” illustrated in FIG. 4H (S190d). As a result, the counted coins are returned to the operator. As a result, the process of S190 ("counted banknote / coin return" process) ends. In addition, FIG. 4H is a figure which shows an example of the return part coin extraction guidance screen. The “return unit coin take-out guidance screen 24h” is configured to instruct the operator to withdraw coins from the coin return unit 33.

  In the cash processing apparatus 11, after S190d, the transaction control unit 21a executes the process of S195 shown in FIG. 3B. In other words, the transaction control unit 21a causes the display operation unit 24 to display the “insertion coin return guidance screen 24i” shown in FIG. 4I (S195). FIG. 4I is a diagram illustrating an example of an insertion unit coin return guidance screen. The “insertion unit coin return guidance screen 24 i” is configured to notify the operator that coins are to be returned from the coin return unit 33 when coins remain in the coin insertion unit 27.

  On the insertion unit coin return guidance screen 24i, a “start” button is displayed as a button indicating that the operator has confirmed the displayed screen content. Here, it is assumed that the operator presses the “start” button displayed on the insertion unit coin return guidance screen 24i. When the operator leaves without pressing the start key displayed on the insertion unit coin return guidance screen 24i, the cash processing apparatus 11 confirms the presence or absence of residual coins inside the coin insertion unit 27, If there is a coin, the residual coin is stored in a forgetting storage unit (not shown) as a coin of the operator who has left.

  When the operator presses the “start” button, a touch panel (not shown) of the display operation unit 24 detects the coordinate position of the button pressed by the operator, and transmits the coordinate position information to the transaction control unit 21a. 21a detects pressing of the “start” button based on the coordinate position information (S200).

  In response to this, the transaction control unit 21a returns the residual coins in the coin insertion unit 27 (S205). FIG. 3D shows a detailed flow of the processing of S205. Hereinafter, the details of the processing of S205 will be described with reference to FIG. 3D.

  In the process of S205 ("Residual coin return of coin input unit" process), as shown in FIG. 3D, first, the transaction control unit 21a displays a "returning processing screen 24j" shown in FIG. It is displayed (S205a). FIG. 4J is a diagram illustrating an example of a return processing screen. The “return processing screen 24j” is configured to notify the operator that an operation for returning the coin is being performed when there is a coin in the coin insertion unit 27.

  Next, the transaction control unit 21a operates a cash detection sensor (not shown) provided inside the coin insertion unit 27 to confirm whether or not there is a residual coin inside the coin insertion unit 27 (S205b).

  If there is a coin inside the coin insertion unit 27, the cash detection sensor detects this and outputs a detection signal to the transaction control unit 21a. The transaction control unit 21a determines whether or not there is a residual coin inside the coin insertion unit 27 based on the detection signal (S205c).

  When it is determined in S205c that there is a residual coin inside the coin insertion unit 27 (in the case of “Yes”), the transaction control unit 21a sends the residual coin inside the coin insertion unit 27 to the transport mechanism 35. Is conveyed to the coin return unit 33 (S205d). And the transaction control part 21a displays the "return part coin extraction guidance screen 24h" shown in FIG. 4H on the display operation part 24 (S205e). Thereby, the process of S205 ("Residual coin return of coin input part" process) ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S205c that there is no residual coin inside the coin insertion unit 27 (in the case of “No”), the transaction control unit 21a displays the “return unit coin confirmation guidance screen 24k illustrated in FIG. 4K. Is displayed on the display operation unit 24 (S205f). Thereby, the process of S205 ("Residual coin return of coin input part" process) ends. In addition, FIG. 4K is a figure which shows an example of the return part coin confirmation guidance screen. The “return unit coin confirmation guidance screen 24k” notifies the operator that there is no residual coin (in the illustrated example, the operator is guided to confirm that there is no coin returned inside the coin return unit 33). It has a configuration.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when it is determined in S120 shown in FIG. 3A that the inserted insertion card 14 is not a registered regular insertion card (in the case of “No”), the cash processing apparatus 11 The transaction control unit 21a displays the “card read error screen 24l” shown in FIG. 4L on the display operation unit 24 (S210). FIG. 4L is a diagram illustrating an example of a card read error screen. The “card read error screen 24l” is configured to notify the operator that there is an abnormality in the inserted card 14 that has been read.

  In addition, in the cash processing apparatus 11, the transaction control unit 21a executes the process of S215 illustrated in FIG. 3B after any of the processes of S205e, S205f, and S210. That is, the transaction control unit 21a displays the menu screen 24a (see FIG. 4A), which is an initial screen, on the display operation unit 24 (S215). Thereby, the cash processing apparatus 11 complete | finishes a series of processes.

  As described above, the cash processing device 11 is configured to display a screen (calling unit coin return) for calling attention to the operator when there is a possibility that cash (in particular, coins) may remain inside the loading units 26 and 27. A guidance screen 24i (see FIG. 4I), a selection screen 24e (see FIG. 4E), and the like) are displayed, and the operator performs a predetermined action according to the displayed screen. As a result, the cash processing apparatus 11 can surely bring back the cash (especially, coins) inside the input units 26 and 27 to the operator, or the cash inside the input units 26 and 27 can be treated as additional input cash. Thus, it is possible to prevent depositing cash (in particular, coins) remaining inside the input portions 26 and 27 from being left.

  Note that the flow shown in FIG. 3B can be appropriately changed according to the operation, and can be changed, for example, like the flow shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a modification of the operation of the cash processing apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 5, the cash processing apparatus 11 performs the process of S205 (the process of “returning coins in the coin input unit”) after the process of S185 (the process of “payment process execution (input transaction execution)”). Is also configured to execute. Thereby, the cash processing apparatus 11 will automatically use the coin which will remain in the coin insertion part 27 at the time of completion | finish of transaction (namely, the coin thrown into the coin insertion part 27 after completion | finish of counting), if an operator is there. Can be returned to.

  As described above, according to the cash processing apparatus 11 according to the first embodiment, it is possible to prevent the cash (in particular, coins) remaining inside the input units 26 and 27 from being left as it is. it can. As a result, according to the cash processing apparatus 11, the cash (in particular, coins) of the previous operator remaining in the input units 26 and 27 is mixed with the cash input by the next operator and is transferred to another account. It is possible to prevent cash troubles from occurring.

  After S305, the transaction control unit 21a causes the display operation unit 24 to display the “inserting unit coin checking screen 24m” shown in FIG. 7A (S310). FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen for confirming the insertion unit coins. The “inserting coin confirmation screen 24m” is configured to notify the operator that the presence or absence of residual coins in the coin inserting unit 27 has been confirmed.

  After S310, the transaction control unit 21a operates a cash detection sensor (not shown) provided inside the coin insertion unit 27 to check whether there is any residual coin inside the coin insertion unit 27 (S315).

  If there is a coin inside the coin insertion unit 27, the cash detection sensor detects this and outputs a detection signal to the transaction control unit 21a. Transaction control unit 21a determines whether or not there is a remaining coin inside coin input unit 27 based on the detection signal (S320).

  When it is determined in S320 that there is a coin remaining in the coin insertion unit 27 (in the case of “Yes”), the transaction control unit 21a displays the “return confirmation screen 24n” shown in FIG. 7B. 24 is displayed (S325). FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating an example of a return confirmation screen. The “return confirmation screen 24n” includes information on the amount of cash that has been input, the amount of money that has not been stored, the amount that has been stored in a safe (not shown), and the amount that has not been stored and the amount that has been stored. It is the structure which displays the money of the counter which totaled the amount of money. In addition, the “return confirmation screen 24n” includes a “confirm” button for allowing the operator to select the remaining coins in the coin insertion unit 27 to be deposited as additional input coins, It is configured to include a “return” button for causing the operator to select returning the remaining coins as a coin to be returned.

  After S325, the operator operates the display operation unit 24 to select and press either the “confirm” button or the “return” button displayed on the return confirmation screen 24n. Then, a touch panel (not shown) of the display operation unit 24 detects the coordinate position of the button pressed by the operator and notifies the transaction control unit 21a of the coordinate position information, and the transaction control unit 21a is based on the coordinate position information. Then, it is determined which button is pressed by the operator (S330).

  If it is determined in S330 that the button pressed by the operator is a “determine” button (“determine” is pressed), the transaction control unit 21a is based on the coordinate position information detected by a touch panel (not shown). Then, pressing of the “confirm” button by the operator is detected.

  In this case, the transaction control unit 21a starts identifying and counting coins additionally inserted into the coin insertion unit 27 by the operator (S335). Then, each time the identification and counting of one piece of cash is executed, the transaction control unit 21a completes the identification and counting of the cash until it is determined that the identification and counting of the cash is completed (“Yes”). It is determined whether or not (S340). If it is determined in S340 that the discrimination and counting of cash has been completed (in the case of “Yes”), the process returns to S305 (“displaying stored screen (cash stored in safe)”).

  In addition, when the button pressed by the operator is a “return” button in the determination of S330 (in the case of ““ return ”pressing”), the transaction control unit 21a detects the coordinate position information detected by a touch panel (not shown). Based on the above, it is detected that the operator has pressed the “return” button.

  In this case, the transaction control unit 21a causes the transport mechanism 35 to transport the residual coins inside the coin insertion unit 27 to the coin return unit 33 (S345).
