Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing apparatus for performing sales input processing (also referred to as “payment processing”), tabulation processing, and collection processing in retail stores.

  In retail stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores, cash processing apparatuses are used that store and store money (banknotes, coins), which are sales collected from the store registers. The sales proceeds are stored in a money safe (banknote safe and coin safe) loaded inside the cash processing apparatus. The money vault storing the sales proceeds is collected while the sales proceeds are stored from the cash processing apparatus by a cash manager or a person in charge of the security company when a certain period of time elapses or according to the storage capacity of the currency safe. A new money safe is loaded into the cash processing apparatus from which the money safe has been collected.

  In this type of cash processing apparatus, money that cannot be counted at the time of input processing, for example, money that cannot be input in the first place, or money that has been input but cannot be identified is normally counted and processed in the cash processing apparatus. There is a problem that it must be stored separately from the money stored in the money vault. Hereinafter, in the present specification, money that has been normally counted is also referred to as “normally processed money”, and money that cannot be normally counted is also referred to as “abnormally processed money”.

  As an example of the prior art that has solved the above problems, a cash processing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed. In this cash processing apparatus, when there is a banknote that has been identified as being unknown by the banknote discriminating unit and rejected to the banknote deposit / withdrawal port in the course of the insertion process of money, the denomination of the rejected banknote is sent to the input person via the operation unit In addition, by inputting the number of sheets and re-inserting the reject banknote from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port, the banknote can be stored in a dedicated safe for the reject banknote. As a result, in the cash processing apparatus of the prior art, together with the banknotes that have been correctly tabulated and stored in the dedicated safe, the reject banknotes identified as unknown denomination can be stored and stored in the dedicated safe for the reject banknotes. it can.

JP 2008-65566 A

  However, the conventional cash processing apparatus can store only banknotes that can be re-inserted from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port, that is, banknotes that can be transported from the banknote deposit / withdrawal port to the dedicated safe for rejected banknotes at the time of re-insertion. Therefore, banknotes that cannot be transported due to fouling or loss cannot be stored and stored.

  Also, rejected banknotes are entered by the person in charge at the time of re-insertion into the cash processing apparatus, but are not related to the input information, and are simply stored in a safe dedicated to rejected banknotes. Only stored. For this reason, for example, when the input information does not match the denomination and the number of reject banknotes stored and stored in the safe for exclusive use of reject banknotes due to an input error or the like, it becomes difficult to investigate the cause of the mismatch. In addition, since the re-inserted banknote can be stored and stored in the safe for exclusive use of the reject banknote regardless of the reason for rejection, it is possible to store and store banknotes with doubtful authenticity. For this reason, there is a possibility that banknotes with suspicion of authenticity may be collected, but even if banknotes with suspicion of authenticity are found during cash scrutiny after collection processing, the cause of such banknotes being mixed It becomes difficult to investigate.

  Furthermore, as for coins, coins that cannot be counted regardless of rejected coins or coins that cannot be conveyed cannot be stored and stored in a cash processing apparatus.

  As described above, the conventional cash processing apparatus is insufficient in the storage and management of abnormally processed money.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for storing both normal processing money and abnormal processing money in a cash processing apparatus in a manageable manner.

Below, the various processes performed in the sales deposit machine 10 as a cash processing apparatus are demonstrated in order.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a process start process according to various operation cards. This process is started by the control part 140 according to the starting process of a cash processing apparatus. When this process is started, the control unit 140 first displays a standby screen (not shown) on the operation display unit 141 and accepts a set of operation cards (step S100). When the operation card is set (step S100: YES), the card R / W unit 143 reads the card type (step S502), and according to the set card type, the deposit process (step S400) Then, any one of the collection process (step S500) and the aggregation process (step S600) is started. When one of the processes is completed, the process returns to the first process and accepts a set of operation cards. In addition, this process is always performed until the start stop process of a cash processing apparatus is started. In the following, (1) the sales input process performed when the insertion card 601i is set, (2) the recovery process performed when the collection card 601c is set, and (3) the totaling card 601t The aggregation process performed when set will be described in detail.

(1) Input processing (payment processing)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the sales input process. The control unit 140 displays a sales money input screen (not shown) on the operation display unit 141, and makes money (banknotes and coins) as sales money to the banknote input unit 101 and the coin input unit 111. An instruction is given to set, and it waits until money is inserted (step S402). When the person in charge sets the banknote and the coin in the banknote insertion unit 101 and the coin insertion unit 111 and presses a “start” button (not shown), the control unit 140 starts the counting process. (Step S404). It should be noted that it is desirable to keep separate money from the beginning that seems to be unable to be counted and processed due to damage (including fouling, deformation, wrinkles, etc.).

  The control unit 140 controls the banknote feeding unit 102 to feed out banknotes one by one, controls the banknote transport unit 103 to transport banknotes to the banknote recognition unit 104, and controls the coin feeding unit 112 to control one coin. The coins are fed out one by one, and the coin conveyance unit 113 is controlled to convey the coins to the coin identification unit 114. At this time, in the case of money that cannot be transported, such as money that has not been paid out or transported, or money that has been jammed in the process of feeding or transporting (step S406: NO), the control unit 140 displays the operation display unit 141. Display a screen (not shown) to that effect, and instruct the person in charge to remove the money that cannot be transported. When the person in charge removes the untransferable currency (step S408) and presses a “restart” button (not shown), the control unit 140 restarts the counting process (step S410). On the other hand, in the case of money that can be transported (step S406: YES), the banknote recognition unit 104 and the coin recognition unit 114 are controlled to identify the transported banknote and coin (step S412).

  As a result of identification in the bill recognition unit 104 and the coin recognition unit 114, when it is determined to be normal (step S412: YES), the bill is transported to the bill temporary storage unit 107, and the coin is transported to the coin temporary storage unit 117 ( Step S414). On the other hand, when it is determined as abnormal as a result of the identification in the bill identifying unit 104 and the coin identifying unit 114 (step S412: NO), the bill is conveyed to the bill reject unit 106, and the coin is conveyed to the coin reject unit 116 ( Step S416). Each process of step S406-S416 is performed until the banknote and coin set to the banknote insertion part 101 and the coin insertion part 111 are lost (step S418: YES).

  After the bills and coins are identified and transported, the control unit 140 causes the operation display unit 141 to display an inserted amount display screen (not shown) indicating the amount of money (normally processed money) that has been normally counted (step S420). ). This screen also displays information indicating the presence / absence of non-carryable currency or rejected currency, as well as a “manual input operation” button, a “confirm input” button, and a “cancel” button (not shown).

  Non-cableable currency or rejected money, specifically, for example, money that cannot be thrown in because the denomination is unknown and that has been discharged to the banknote reject unit 106 or the coin reject unit 116, or money that has been damaged and cannot be fed or carried In the case where there is money (abnormally processed money) that cannot be counted, such as money that has been previously separated, the control unit 140 causes the input person to press the “manual input operation” button. Then, it is determined that a manual input operation is necessary (step S422: YES), and a manual input screen (not shown) is displayed on the operation display unit 141. In addition, on this manual input screen, a screen for selecting a denomination of abnormally processed money to be input, an input screen for an amount or quantity, a “confirm input” button, and a “cancel” button are displayed (not shown).

  On the other hand, when the input person presses the “confirm input” button, the control unit 140 determines that the manual input operation is unnecessary (step S422: NO) and determines that the input is confirmed (step S426: YES). . Also, when the person in charge of the input presses the “cancel” button, the control unit 140 determines that the manual input operation is unnecessary (step S422: NO) and determines that the input is canceled (step S426: NO).

  Even when the person in charge selects the denomination of the abnormally processed currency to be input on the displayed manual input screen, inputs the amount or quantity (step S424), and presses the “confirm input” button, The control unit 140 determines that the input is confirmed (step S426). Even if the person in charge selects the denomination or inputs the amount or quantity on the manual input screen, if the “Cancel” button is pressed, it is determined that the input is canceled (step S426: NO).

  In the case of confirmation of insertion (step S426: YES), the control unit 140 controls the statement slip printing unit 142 to use information relating to insertion processing (also referred to as “input information” or “input processing information”) in the statement slip. Printing is performed (step S428). FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an input statement slip on which input processing information is printed. The input processing information includes information on the denomination and number or amount of money that has been correctly counted (normally processed money), and the denomination and number or amount of money that has not been counted (abnormally processed money). And information on the person in charge of input are related and included. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, this input process information is printed as an input statement. The input details slip 428p shown in FIG. 6 includes “input date / time”, “card number (card No.)” as identification information of the input person, and identification information of the sales deposit machine as information relating to the input person. “Apparatus number (apparatus No.)”, “store number (store No.)” and “store name”, which are identification information of the store assistant, are printed. In addition, “denomination”, “number of pieces” for each denomination, “amount”, and “total amount” are printed as input money information. However, the number includes the number of abnormally processed money manually input by the person in charge, and the breakdown of the number of abnormally processed money manually input in parentheses. Furthermore, as a breakdown of the total amount, “manual input meter” which is the total amount of the manually processed abnormally processed money and “counter” which is the total amount of the currency processed money are described. 6 is merely an example, and is not limited to this format. Information on normal processing money, information on abnormal processing money, and information on a person in charge of input are printed. Any format may be used.

  Further, the control unit 140 causes the banknotes in the banknote temporary storage unit 107 to be transported to the banknote storage 109 and the coins in the coin temporary storage unit 117 to be transported to the coin storage 119 (step S430). After completing the movement of the bills and coins, the control unit 140 controls the communication processing unit 144 to transmit the above-described insertion processing information to the management server (step S432). Further, the control unit 140 stores the input processing information in the storage unit 145, and uses it for sales collection processing and tabulation processing described later. Further, the control unit 140 controls the card R / WW unit 143 to store the insertion process information in the inserted card 601i that has been set (step S434). The information stored in the insertion card 601i can also be used for re-outputting the input statement slip from the statement slip printing unit 142 under the control of the control unit 140 by an input operation on the operation display unit 141.

  When the cancellation is confirmed by pressing the “cancel” button on the input amount display screen or the manual input screen described above (step S426: NO), the control unit 140 causes the banknote temporary holding unit lock mechanism 108 and the coin temporary The lock of the holding unit lock mechanism 118 is released (step S436). By releasing the lock, the person in charge can pull out the banknote temporary storage unit 107 and the coin temporary storage unit 117 as described above, and take out the banknotes in the banknote temporary storage unit 107 and the coins in the coin return unit 118. It becomes possible.

  When the process of step S434 or step S436 is terminated, the input process is terminated. Then, the control unit 140 returns to step S100 illustrated in FIG. 4 and causes the operation display unit 141 to display a standby screen.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the manual input money insertion process. In step S424 in FIG. 5, the person in charge inputs the manually input money (abnormally processed money), which is the money that the person in charge has selected on the manual input screen and has performed the input operation of the amount or quantity. Together with the insertion slip slip 428p printed in S428, it is enclosed in the manually entered money storage envelope 701 (step S452), and this is inserted into the manually entered money insertion unit 121 (step S454). Thereby, the manually input currency storage envelope 701 input by the input person is stored and stored in the manual input currency storage 129.

  As described above, according to the input processing in the sales deposit machine of the present embodiment, when a certain person in charge performs the sales input processing, money that cannot be counted (abnormal processing currency) ) As manual input information, together with the count-processed information, the information regarding the person in charge of the input can be used as input processing information. Then, the input processing information can be printed as an input statement. Moreover, the money (normally processed money) that has been normally counted can be stored and stored in the banknote storage 109 and the coin storage 119. The abnormally processed currency can be stored and stored in the manually input currency storage box 129 by enclosing it in the manually input currency storage envelope 121 together with the input statement slip as manual input currency and inserting it into the manually input currency input unit 121. As a result, the sales deposit machine 10 can store and store the sales entered by a person in charge of the purchase after distinguishing between the normal processing money and the abnormal processing money. It is possible to store and store information in relation to information on processed money and information on a person in charge of input.

(2) Collection Process FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the collection process of the storage house stored in the sales deposit machine. The control unit 140 causes the operation display unit 141 to display a collection instruction screen (not shown) for prompting the collection of the storage, and unlocks the money storage unit loading unit lock mechanism 138 (step S502). The person in charge of the collection who has confirmed the collection instruction screen opens the money storage unit loading unit 130 and prepares for collection of various loaded storage units (step S504). The person in charge of collection collects the banknote storage space 131, the coin storage space 132, and the banknote storage space 109, the coin storage space 119 loaded in the manually input money storage space 133, and The manually input money storage 129 is collected, and a new empty storage is loaded in each space that can be loaded by the collection (step S506). Next, when the person in charge of collection closes the money storage unit loading unit 130 (step S508), the control unit 140 detects that the money storage unit has been closed and locks the money storage unit loading unit locking mechanism 138 (step S510).

  Next, the control unit 140 controls the statement slip printing unit 142 to print the collection information on the statement slip (step S512).

Further, “denomination”, “number of sheets”, “amount” and “total amount” for each denomination are printed as the collected money information. However, the number of coins entered between the time of the previous collection process and the current collection process is described in the number of sheets, and the breakdown of the number of manually entered abnormally processed money is described in parentheses. Yes. Furthermore, as a breakdown of the total amount, “manual input meter” which is the total amount of the manually processed abnormally processed money and “counter” which is the total amount of the currency processed money are described. Note that the collection slip shown in FIG. 6 is an example, and is not limited to this format. Information on normal processing money, information on abnormal processing money, and information on a person in charge of collection are printed. Any format may be used.

  In addition, the control unit 140 controls the communication processing unit 144 to transmit the collection information including the collection amount, the collection date and time, and the card information to the management server (step S514). The collection amount is the total amount of the input amount (deposit amount) stored in the storage unit 145 for each input process (deposit process). In addition, the control unit 140 controls the card R / W unit 143 to store collection information such as a collection amount (however, card information is unnecessary) in the set collection card 601c (step S516). Note that the information stored in the collection card 601c can be used for re-outputting the collection statement slip from the statement slip printing unit 142 under the control of the control unit 140 by an input operation on the operation display unit 141.

  Finally, the control unit 140 resets the collection amount stored in the storage unit 145 to 0 yen (step S518), and ends this collection process. Then, the control unit 140 returns to step S100 illustrated in FIG. 4 and causes the operation display unit 141 to display a standby screen.

(3) Aggregation Process FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the aggregation process of the input money and the collected money. When the collection process is started, the control unit 140 first aggregates the input amount (payment amount) by the input process and the collection amount by the recovery process performed from the time of the previous aggregation process to the current aggregation process. Is performed (step S602). Thereafter, the control unit 140 controls the statement slip printing unit 142 to print the total information on the statement slip (step S604). FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a summary statement slip on which summary information is printed. In this summary statement slip 604p, “aggregation date and time”, “card number (card No.)” as identification information of the aggregation operator as information relating to the aggregation operator, “device number (identification information) of sales deposit machine”. Device No.) ”,“ Store No. (Store No.) ”and“ Store Name ”which are identification information of the assistant store are printed. In addition, “denomination”, “number of sheets”, “amount”, and “total amount” for each denomination are printed as total money information. However, the number of coins entered and collected between the time of the previous aggregation process and the current aggregation process is described in the number of sheets, and the breakdown of the number of manually entered abnormally processed money is described in parentheses. Has been. Furthermore, as a breakdown of the total amount, “manual input meter” which is the total amount of the manually processed abnormally processed money and “counter” which is the total amount of the currency processed money are described. Note that the summary statement shown in FIG. 11 is an example, and is not limited to this format. Information on normal processing currency, information on abnormal processing currency, and information on a person in charge of aggregation are printed. Any format may be used.

  Also. The control unit 140 controls the communication processing unit 144 to transmit the total information to the management server (step S606). Further, the control unit 140 controls the card R / W unit 143 to store the totaling information (however, the card information is unnecessary) in the set totaling card 601t (step S608), and ends this totaling process. . Then, the control unit 140 returns to step S100 illustrated in FIG. 4 and causes the operation display unit 141 to display a standby screen. The information stored in the tabulation card 601t can also be used for re-outputting the tabulation details slip from the statement slip printing unit under the control of the control unit 140 by an input operation on the operation display unit 141. Further, the total input amount (payment amount) and the collected amount can be deleted from the storage unit 145, but deletion or maintenance may be selected depending on the operation on the store side.

A3. effect:
As described above, with the sales deposit machine as the cash processing apparatus in the present embodiment, money rejected due to fouling or the like in the process of input, money that cannot be input into the apparatus in the first place, money that cannot be transferred in the apparatus, etc. For money that cannot be counted such as money that cannot be deposited (abnormally processed money), let the person in charge enter the denomination and number of pieces, and input the input slip printed with the entered information and money into the manually entered money storage envelope The sealed manual input money storage envelope can be inserted into the sales deposit machine 10 for storage. As a result, in a conventional cash processing apparatus, money that cannot be stored, or money that cannot be put into the apparatus in the first place or money that cannot be deposited in the apparatus such as money that cannot be transferred in the apparatus can be properly processed. It can be stored in a dedicated manual input currency storage separate from the coin storage or bill storage that stores the coins and bills that have been counted, and can be managed together in the same device. Thereby, it is not necessary to provide a separate storage for storing the abnormally processed money, and the burden on management can be reduced compared to storing separately.

  In addition, money that is not counted (abnormally processed money) stored in the manually entered money storage is enclosed in a manually entered money storage envelope in the input processing unit by the person in charge, together with an input statement slip on which input information is printed. Therefore, it is possible to manage information related to correctly counted money (normally processed money) and related information such as the person in charge of input, input date and time, input equipment, store assistant, etc. There is also an effect that management becomes easier.

B. Second embodiment:
In the first embodiment, after the series of input processes shown in FIG. 5 is completed, the person in charge performs the manual input money input process shown in FIG. 7 independently, so that the manually input money (abnormally processed money) and A manually input currency storage envelope 701 enclosing the input statement slip 428p is input from the manually input currency input unit 121 of the sales deposit machine 10. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as will be described below, the control unit 140 controls the manual input currency processing unit 120A in the process of the input process, whereby the manually input currency from the manual input currency input unit 121 is controlled. The storage envelope 701 can be inserted.

  FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram of the sales deposit machine in the second embodiment. The sales depositing machine 10A is basically the same as the sales depositing machine 10 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, but the control unit 140, the manual input currency processing unit 120, and the manual input currency processing unit. 120 is replaced with a control unit 140A, a manual input money processing unit 120A, and a manual input money input unit 121A, and the manual input money processing unit 120 is under the control of the control unit 140A. It works differently. Also, the difference is that the sales input process shown in FIG. 5 and the manually entered money input process shown in FIG. 7 are replaced with the input process shown in FIG. Since other processes are the same as those in the first embodiment, only the process in FIG. 13 will be described below.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the sales input process in the second embodiment. This flowchart is a flowchart between the detailed slip printing process of the input information in step S428 in the flowchart of the sales input process of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and the process of transporting the money to the storage in step S430. Only the processing of the added steps S429a to S429e is shown.

  In the sales input process of the present embodiment, after the input slip printing process in step S428, the control unit 140 determines whether or not there is a manual input operation in step S424 (step S429a), and the manual input operation is not performed. In such a case (step S429a: NO), as in the case of the first embodiment, the process of transporting money to the storage in step S430 is executed. On the other hand, when the manual input force operation has been performed (step S429a: YES), the control unit 140 controls the manual input currency input unit 121A to open the input port (step S429b), and the manually input currency ( The operation display unit 141 displays an insertion instruction screen (not shown) that prompts the user to insert the manually input money storage envelope 701 enclosing the abnormally processed currency) and the insertion statement slip. At this time, the input person in charge inputs the manual entry currency (abnormal processing currency), which is the currency for which the denomination is selected and the amount or quantity is input on the manual input screen, in step S428. Together with 428p, it is sealed in a manually entered currency storage envelope 701 (step S429d), and this is put into the manually entered currency insertion unit 121A (step S429d). The inserted manual input currency storage envelope 701 is conveyed to the manual input currency storage 129 and stored in the manual input currency storage 129. When manual input money storage envelope 701 is inserted into manual input money input unit 121A, control unit 140 detects this and closes the input port of manual input money input unit 121A (step S429e). The banknotes in the temporary storage unit 107 are transported to the banknote storage 109, the coins in the coin temporary storage unit 117 are transported to the coin storage 119, and the manually input currency storage envelope 701 is manually input money storage. It is conveyed to 129 and stored in the manually entered money storage 129.

  As described above, in the sales deposit machine as the cash processing apparatus in the present embodiment, by manually controlling the currency processing unit, manually input currency (abnormal processing currency) is input into the device during the process of input. For this reason, it becomes possible to prevent forgetting to insert manually entered money, and security can be improved.
