  Here, the operation history data 65a indicates that the opening / closing operation of the housing was received at the time “14:41” for the change machine 10 with the device ID “T01”. However, since it is also shown that error data of error code 2 was received at time “14:40” for the same change machine 10, the opening / closing operation at time “14:41” is to deal with the error. it is conceivable that. As described above, when it is indicated that the opening / closing operation is necessary before the opening / closing operation, the opening / closing operation is not determined to be abnormal and is registered in the abnormal state data 65d. Absent.

  Even if replenishment or collection is performed, if the denomination and number of the dispensed money match the denomination and number of the deposited money, it is not determined as an abnormal state, and the abnormal state data 65d. Registration is not done.

  On the other hand, despite the fact that the operation history data 65a indicates that at the time “15:12”, 20 thousand yen bills were withdrawn for collection in the change machine 10 with the device ID “T02”. It shows that the money deposited into the depositing / dispensing machine 50 with the device ID “N01” at time “15:19” is 19 thousand yen bills. Therefore, the difference “1000 yen × 1” between the money withdrawn and the money withdrawn becomes the discrepancy of the collected money.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the section data 65e stored in the storage unit 65. The section data 65e shown in FIG. 7 includes a section from time “9:30” to time “12:00” for the change machine 10 with the device ID “T01”.

  The section data 65e includes one section from the time “12:00” to the time “15:00” for the change machine 10 having the device ID “T01”. Further, the operator of this section is a store clerk with a store clerk ID “B03”, a state abnormality has occurred in the section, and the store clerk with the store clerk ID “A01” has been involved to confirm this state abnormality. . Confirmation of abnormal condition includes “Return money with withdrawal error”, “Pay out all the money in the aircraft and re-load”, “After putting all the money in the aircraft into the temporary storage section , “Return to storage” is performed, and the amount before processing and the amount after processing are recorded.

  The section data 65e includes one section from the time “9:30” to the time “13:00” for the change machine 10 with the device ID “T02”. The operator in this section is a clerk with a clerk ID “B02”, indicating that no abnormal state has occurred.

  The section data 65e includes one section from the time “13:00” to the time “13:30” for the change machine 10 having the device ID “T02”. Further, there is no operator in charge in this section, indicating that no abnormal state has occurred.

  Further, the section data 65e has one section after the time “13:30” for the change machine 10 with the device ID “T02”. In addition, the operator in this section is a clerk with a clerk ID “B01”, indicating that no abnormal state has occurred.

  It should be noted that the state is continuously monitored from when the last operator instructs the end of charge until the power is turned on at the start of business on the next business day (outside business hours). If an abnormality is detected outside these business hours, a security company or the like is notified. Information on the abnormality is stored in the management server 60, and the content can be confirmed at an arbitrary timing.

  Next, a specific example of display by the management server 60 will be described. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for describing a specific example of display output by the management server 60. FIG. 8A is a specific example when the section data 65e shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. In Fig.8 (a), time is displayed on a horizontal axis and the area set about each change machine 10 is displayed according to time. In addition, for each section, the salesclerk associated as the operator and the participant and the presence / absence of a state abnormality are displayed.

  FIG. 8B is a specific example of the display of the counting result obtained by counting for each type of state abnormality. FIG. 8B shows that the number of occurrences for “abnormality of collected money” of abnormality rank 1 is five. In addition, among the sections in which this state abnormality has occurred, the clerk with the clerk ID “B03” is associated with three sections, the clerk with the clerk ID “B01” is associated with one section, and the clerk is associated with one section. It has not been shown.

  FIG. 8C is a specific example of the display of the counting result obtained by counting for each clerk. FIG. 8C shows that the number of times the clerk with the clerk ID “B01” has been in charge of operating the change machine 10 is 24 times, and the total of the time in charge is 92 hours. While this clerk is in charge, there is no abnormality rank 1 condition abnormality, abnormality rank 2 condition abnormality occurs once, and abnormality rank 3 condition abnormality occurs 8 times. Show. In addition, as the state abnormality details, the abnormality rank, type, and occurrence date and time of the state abnormality that occurred while the clerk with the clerk ID “B01” is in charge are displayed.

  The number of times the change machine 10 has been operated and the total of the time in charge are displayed as an aggregate result because the more times the change machine 10 has been operated and the longer the total time of operation, the more abnormal the state becomes. This is because the possibility of being associated becomes high. In view of this point, the number of occurrences of state abnormalities per number of times in charge and the number of occurrences of state abnormalities per total time in charge may be calculated and displayed.

  Next, the processing procedure of the management server 60 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the management server 60. As illustrated in FIG. 9, the operation history management unit 66a of the management server 60 has received event data (payment / withdrawal data, stock-indication data, error data, or operation reception data) from the change machine 10 or the deposit / withdrawal machine 50. Whether or not (step S101).

  If the event data is received (step S101; Yes), the operation history management unit 66a stores the received data in the operation history data 65a and updates the operation history data 65a (step S102).

  After step 102, the device inventory management unit 66b determines whether deposit / withdrawal has been performed, that is, whether the received event data is deposit / withdrawal data (step S103). When the received event data is deposit / withdrawal data (step S103; Yes), the device-specific balance management unit 66b is based on the device ID, the denomination and the number of deposit / withdrawal processing indicated in the deposit / withdrawal data. Then, the device-specific balance data 65b is updated (step S104).

  After step S104, the state abnormality management unit 66c extracts a new state abnormality from the updated operation history data 65a. If a new state abnormality is extracted (step S105; Yes), it is additionally registered in the state abnormality data 65d, and the state abnormality data 65d is updated (step S106).

  Specifically, the state abnormality management unit 66c causes a mismatch in the collected money between when the error data is registered in the operation history data 65a and when the withdrawal process is performed from the change machine 10 outside business hours. In the case of a case, a case where a replenishment mismatch does occur, and a case where an opening / closing operation without a corresponding operation occurs is registered in the state abnormality data 65d as a state abnormality. Further, the abnormal rank of the abnormal state is specified with reference to the abnormal rank setting data 65c, and the specified abnormal rank and the occurrence time of the abnormal state are associated with the abnormal state and registered.

  After the update of the state abnormality data 65d, when there is no new state abnormality (step S105; No), or when event data is not received (step S101; No), the section management unit 66d sets the section from the change machine 10. It is determined whether a notification has been received (step S107).

  If the section setting notification is received from the change machine 10 (step S107; Yes), the section management unit 66d updates the section data 65e (step S108). At this time, if it is possible to identify the clerk in charge or the clerk involved, the identified clerk is stored in association with the section.

  After updating the section data 65e or when no section setting notification has been received (step S107; No), the totaling unit 66e determines whether or not a totaling instruction has been received from the input unit 61 or the mobile terminal 70 for clerk ( Step S109).

  If the totaling instruction has not been received (step S109; No), the management server 60 ends the process. On the other hand, when the totaling instruction is received (step S109; Yes), the totaling unit 66e performs the totaling process according to the received totaling instruction (step S110), and outputs the totaling result (step S111). Exit.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the money management system 80 manages the operation history of the change machine 10 and the deposit / withdrawal machine 50 based on the event data received from the change machine 10 and the deposit / withdrawal machine 50. The operation history in the change machine 10 and the deposit / withdrawal machine 50 can be managed appropriately and efficiently independently of the POS terminal.

  Moreover, since section data can be generated based on the section setting notification received from the change machine 10 and the operation history of the change machine 10 can be managed for each section, if an abnormality occurs in the change machine 10, It is possible to easily identify the store clerk who was involved in the operation of the change machine 10 at the time of occurrence.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the time at which the management server 60 receives the event data is used as the event occurrence time has been described. However, the change machine 10 and the deposit / withdrawal machine 50 include the event occurrence time in the event data. You may comprise so that it may transmit to the management server 60. FIG.

  When money is replenished to the change machine 10, a replenishment reservation process may be performed to manage the movement of money. When the replenishment reservation process is performed, empty or near empty occurs in the change machine 10 and replenishment is required. When a predetermined operation is performed, necessary replenishment information, the device ID of the change machine 10, A replenishment reservation command including the store clerk ID of the store clerk to be sent is transmitted to the depositing / dispensing machine 50. Here, the replenishment information may be a monetary amount calculated based on a stock amount or a preset monetary amount. Further, not only denominations that cause empty or near empty but also other denominations whose inventory amount is smaller than the standard amount may be replenished.

  The depositing / dispensing machine 50 that has received the replenishment reservation command stores the contents. Then, when the sales clerk in charge or the clerk who receives the request operates the depositing / dispensing machine 50, the withdrawal information for which the supplementary reservation has been received is displayed, and when the withdrawal information is selected, the reserved supplementary money is withdrawn. At this time, it is desirable to collate the store clerk ID and provide a restriction so that only the party or an administrator with higher authority can withdraw money.
