The cash processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is a cash processing apparatus that performs a withdrawal transaction that dispenses cash used as change and a deposit transaction that deposits deposited cash, and suspends and resumes deposit and withdrawal transactions. It has a function.

  Although the following description is mainly made by illustrating the deposit transaction, it goes without saying that the same applies to the withdrawal transaction.

  In the cash processing apparatus, the deposit transaction is performed, for example, when sales are collected from each register by each register clerk and the sales are put into the cash processing apparatus after the end of the work of one day. Here, in a distribution facility and a commercial facility, a large number of registers are installed, but in many cases, daily sales need to be summarized on the same day. Therefore, after the day-to-day work ends, deposit transactions are often conducted intensively by each register representative. In such a case, since the person in charge of the register making the deposit transaction concentrates on the cash processing apparatus after the end of the day's work, congestion occurs. Therefore, each register representative waits for a long time to carry out the deposit transaction. I needed it.

  Also, if the amount of money deposited is large, it will take more time to count and store the deposited cash. In the case of depositing daily sales, the amount of money deposited is often large, and the congestion of the cash processing apparatus accompanying the deposit transaction after the end of the day's work tends to be particularly large.

  In view of the above circumstances, the cash processing apparatus according to the present embodiment can suspend a transaction by a suspend operation, and can resume a suspended transaction by a resume operation. As a result, the time for the operator to wait for the vacancy of the cash processing apparatus can be shortened, so the cash processing apparatus can improve the convenience for the operator.

  Specifically, the cash processing apparatus according to the present embodiment suspends the transaction by associating and storing the identification information of the operator and the transaction when the deposit and withdrawal amount in the transaction is input. Make it possible to As a result, when the transaction is concentrated and the cash processing apparatus is congested, the transaction is interrupted until the input of the deposit and withdrawal amount, and the cash processing apparatus is congested for the receipt of cash which takes time for counting and storing. Can be distributed and done at the same time. In addition, about the cash before the payment to a cash processing apparatus, you may store it separately in a safe etc., for example.

  The overall operation of the cash processing apparatus 1 is controlled by such a control unit 150. For example, when the authentication by the cashier card or the ID card ends, the control unit 150 causes the operation display unit 133 to display a menu screen for the operator to select a desired process, and the operator selects the menu screen. The execution of the process may be controlled.

<3. Configuration of control unit>
Next, with reference to FIG. 2, the function of the control unit 150 that is characteristic of the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be more specifically described. FIG. 2: is a block diagram which shows the function structure of the control part 150 with which the cash processing apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment is equipped.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 150 includes an interruption information generation unit 151, an interruption information storage unit 153, a display generation unit 155, and a deposit / withdrawal control unit 157.

  When the suspension operation is performed, the suspension information generation unit 151 generates suspension information in which the identification number of the operator who performed the suspension operation is associated with the transaction in which the suspension operation is performed. Specifically, when the interruption operation is performed after the operator inputs the deposit and withdrawal amount in the transaction, the interruption information generation unit 151 determines the identification information of the operator and the transaction in which the interruption operation is performed. Generating interruption information linked with the amount of money received and paid. Here, the identification information of the operator is, for example, information (identification ID) for identifying the operator written in the ID card or the like read by the card reader unit 131.

  The interruption information generated by the interruption information generation unit 151 is stored in the interruption information storage unit 153. The interruption information storage unit 153 may be, for example, a temporary storage device such as a RAM, or may be a data storage storage device such as an HDD device.

  Further, the interruption information generated by the interruption information generation unit 151 is printed by the receipt printer unit 135 on the interruption receipt. The interruption receipt is issued to the operator.

  Here, a specific example of the interruption receipt is shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the interruption receipt.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the interrupted receipt 300 is printed with information about the interrupted transaction. For example, in (1), “2015.06.15 20:15” is printed as the transaction time, and “payment is interrupted” is printed as the transaction type. In (2), "2015.06.15" is printed as the account date of the interrupted transaction. In (3), “00011” is printed as a processing sequence number for identifying the suspension operation of the transaction, and in (4), as an identification number for identifying the operator (operator) who performed the suspension operation. "10011111" is printed. Furthermore, in (5), "10,000", which is the deposit / withdrawal amount input at the time of the interruption operation, is printed as the slip amount.

  As a result, the operator can grasp the existence of a transaction which has been interrupted after entering the deposit / withdrawal amount by referring to the issued suspension receipt, and in which cash deposit / detachment has not been made. it can.

  The display generation unit 155 generates a display to be displayed on the operation display unit 133. In particular, in the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, the display generation unit 155 extracts and extracts the interruption information based on the identification information of the operator who performed the resumption operation when the resumption operation of the transaction is performed. Generate a restart indication that includes the interruption information. Thus, the operator can select the transaction to be resumed by referring to the interruption information listed in the resume display.

  For example, the display generation unit 155 extracts the interruption information of the transaction associated with the identification information of the operator who has performed the transaction restart operation from the interruption information storage unit 153, and displays the list of the extracted interruption information A resume indication may be generated. As a result, the operator who has performed the resumption operation can resume the transaction which he / she has interrupted by selecting the interruption information displayed in the resumption display, and can deposit / withdraw cash from the cash processing apparatus 1 .

  In addition, the display generation unit 155 extracts, from the interruption information storage unit 153, the interruption information of the transaction associated with the identification information associated with the identification information of the operator who has performed the transaction restart operation, and the extracted interruption A resume display may be generated listing the information. Here, the operator who has performed the transaction resumption operation represents, for example, a manager who manages the register clerk. That is, the display generation unit 155 extracts, from the interruption information storage unit 153, the interruption information of the transaction associated with the identification information of the person in charge of the register who is managed by the manager who has performed the transaction restart operation. It is also possible to generate a restart display listing the interruption information.

  As a result, the administrator who has performed the resumption operation resumes the transaction interrupted by the managing operator by selecting the interruption information listed in the resumption display, so that cash can be transferred from the cash processing apparatus 1 You can make money. According to this configuration, since the administrator can make a batch payment of cash from the cash processing apparatus 1, the cash processing apparatus 1 improves the work efficiency and prevents the fraud by each person in charge of each register. can do.

  The deposit / withdrawal controller 157 enables deposit / withdrawal of cash in the transaction corresponding to the selected discontinuation information, when the discontinuation information is selected from the resumption display. Specifically, when the interruption information of the transaction to be resumed by the operator is selected from the restart display displayed on the operation display unit 133, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 157 selects the cash of the payment amount of the selected interruption information. The cash processing apparatus 1 is controlled so as to be able to deposit and withdraw money. Thus, the operator can deposit or withdraw cash in the interrupted transaction to the cash processing apparatus 1.

  Here, the deposit / withdrawal control unit 157 may have only one piece of interruption information that can be selected at one time from the restart display, or may have a plurality of pieces. These are preferably set in advance in the control unit 150 of the cash processing apparatus 1, and it is preferable that one or more pieces of interruption information selectable at one time from the restart display are one or more.

  For example, when it is possible to select a plurality of pieces of suspension information at one time from the restart display, the operator can collectively perform cash deposit and withdrawal in each of the transactions corresponding to the plurality of selected pieces of suspension information. Efficiency can be improved.

  However, when cash deposits and withdrawals are collectively made, any transaction occurs when the entered deposit and withdrawal amount and the total amount of cash deposited and withdrawn at the time of resumption do not match due to an operator's incorrect input or the like. It becomes difficult to determine whether the amount of deposit or withdrawal and the total amount do not match due to the cause. Therefore, in order to confirm for each transaction the discrepancy between the deposit and withdrawal amount entered at the time of suspension and the amount of cash deposited and withdrawn at the time of resumption, only one piece of suspension information that can be selected at one time from the resumption display Is preferred. As a result, the operator can perform the resumed transaction while confirming that the inputted deposit and withdrawal amount matches the amount of cash deposited and withdrawn at the time of resumption.

  In addition, when the amount of money input / output at the time of suspension does not match the amount of cash deposited at the time of resumption due to an operator's erroneous input or the like, the control unit 150 is input at the time of interruption based on the operator's operation. You may correct the amount of cash received or paid. Thereby, the operator corrects the deposit / withdrawal amount of the transaction without canceling the transaction with respect to the inconsistency between the entered deposit / withdrawal amount due to incorrect entry etc. and the amount of cash deposited / withdrawal. Can. Therefore, the cash processing apparatus 1 can improve the convenience for the operator.

  Furthermore, when cash deposit or withdrawal is performed by the operator by control performed by the deposit or withdrawal control unit 157, the receipt printer unit 135 prints the result of the cash deposit or withdrawal in the transaction, and interrupts the transaction. Issue a resume receipt linked to the issued suspended receipt.

  Specifically, the receipt printer unit 135 prints a serial number or serial number serving as identification information on the interrupted receipt issued when the transaction is interrupted, and the resumed receipt issued when the transaction is resumed is an interrupted receipt. Print the serial number or serial number printed on. Thus, the receipt printer unit 135 can associate the interrupted receipt with the resumed receipt.

  Here, a specific example of the resume receipt is shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a specific example of the resume receipt.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the resume receipt 310 has printed information on the resumed transaction. For example, in (1), "2015.06.16 14:15" is printed as the transaction time, and "payment resumption" is printed as the transaction type. In (2), "2015.06.15" is printed as the account date of the resumed transaction. In (3), “00059” is printed as a processing sequence number for identifying the resumption operation of the transaction, and in (4), as an identification number for identifying the operator (operator) who performed the resumption operation. "10011111" is printed.

  In (5), in the resumed transaction, “00011”, which is the processing serial number of the interruption receipt issued at the time of the interruption operation, is printed as the target serial number. Thus, the resume receipt issued upon reopening of the transaction is associated with the interrupted receipt issued upon suspension of the transaction. In (6), "10011111" is printed as the identification number of the operator (target person) who has performed the suspension operation in the resumed transaction. For example, when the operator resumes a transaction interrupted by oneself, the identification number printed in (4) will match the identification number printed in (6). On the other hand, for example, when the administrator resumes a transaction interrupted by the operator under his control, the identification number printed in (4) and the identification number printed in (6) will be different. .

  In (7), "10,000", which is the deposit / withdrawal amount input at the time of the interruption operation, is printed as a slip amount. In addition, when the deposit or withdrawal amount is corrected after the restart operation, the slip amount “10,000” is printed out after the modification. Furthermore, in (8) to (19), the amount of cash deposited and received, and the breakdown of banknotes and coins deposited and deposited are printed. In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the serial number or serial number serving as identification information is described as the process serial number.

  According to the control unit 150 having the above-described configuration, the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment suspends the transaction by inputting the deposit / withdrawal amount by the suspend operation of the operator, and resumes the transaction by the resume operation. , Can make cash deposit and withdrawal. As a result, when the cash processing apparatus 1 is congested, the operator can interrupt the transaction until the input of the deposit or withdrawal amount necessary for the aggregation of sales, etc., and the time required for the transaction can be shortened. Therefore, since the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can shorten the time for the operator to wait for the vacancy of the cash processing apparatus, the convenience for the operator can be improved.

<4. Operation of cash processing device>
Then, with reference to FIGS. 5-11, it demonstrates concretely, showing the example of a display displayed on the operation display part 133 about the flow of the deposit or withdrawal transaction in the cash processing apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment. Although the following mainly describes the deposit transaction, it goes without saying that the same applies to the withdrawal transaction.

  FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the flow of a normal deposit transaction in the cash processing apparatus 1. 6 is a flow chart showing the flow of the deposit transaction in which the interruption operation has been performed, and FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the flow in the case where the restart operation is performed after the interruption operation. 8 to 11 are schematic views showing an example of display displayed on the operation display unit 133. FIG.

  First, with reference to FIG. 5, the flow of the normal payment transaction (when interruption operation etc. are not performed) which the cash processing apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment performs is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, the cash processing apparatus 1 reads the ID card or the like of the operator with the card reader unit 131, and acquires the identification information of the operator (S301). Next, the display generation unit 155 generates a display of the transaction selection screen, and the operation display unit 133 displays the transaction selection screen (S303).

  An example of a display of the transaction selection screen 200 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, on the transaction selection screen 200, buttons for selecting various transactions are displayed. Specifically, on the transaction selection screen 200, a withdrawal button 201 for conducting a withdrawal transaction, a deposit button 202 for conducting a deposit transaction, a setting button 203 for changing the setting of the cash processing apparatus 1, cash A loading / recovery button 204 for performing a loading / recovery operation of is displayed. Further, when there is another selectable transaction, the next candidate button 205 is displayed on the transaction selection screen 200.

  When the deposit button 202 is pressed and a deposit transaction is selected (S305), the display generation unit 155 generates a display of the input screen of the deposit amount, and the operation display unit 133 displays the input screen of the deposit amount. A payment amount (hereinafter also referred to as a slip amount) is input by the operator on the input screen of the displayed payment amount (S307).

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the display of the input screen 210 for the payment amount. As shown in FIG. 9, on the input screen 210, an input field 211 for the operator to input the payment amount is displayed. Further, on the input screen 210, a confirmation button 212 for continuing the deposit transaction and an interruption button 213 for interrupting the deposit transaction are displayed. The operator inputs the amount of money to be paid into the input field 211 and presses the confirmation button 212 to continue the payment transaction and make it possible to deposit cash. The case where the interrupt button 213 is pressed will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the payment amount is input in the input field 211 and the confirmation button 212 is pressed, cash is deposited by the operator (S309). After the cash inserted from the bill insertion slot 101 and the coin insertion slot 117 is transported to the bill storage unit 103 and the coin storage unit 121, the amount is counted (S311), and the counted amount of cash is the operation It is displayed on the display unit 133 (S313).

  Here, the amount of cash that can be input at one time in the cash processing apparatus 1 is limited. Therefore, when the amount of cash to be inserted is large and it is necessary to deposit additional cash, the operator selects the additional deposit by pressing the additional deposit button (not shown) (S315 / Yes) , And may receive cash again (S309). If there is no additional deposit of cash, the operator confirms the counted amount of cash and presses a confirmation button (not shown) (S315 / No). Accordingly, the cash processing apparatus 1 determines that the cash payment has been completed.

  In addition, when the operator confirms the amount of cash counted after depositing the cash, if it is necessary to correct the amount of deposit input by an incorrect input or the like (S317 / Yes), the operator pays It may return to the input screen of the amount, and the input amount may be corrected (S319). If the payment amount has not been corrected (S317 / No), and if the input amount has been corrected, the receipt printer unit 135 prints the result of the transaction on a receipt and issues a receipt to the operator (S321). ). Thereafter, the cash processing apparatus 1 stores the cash conveyed to the banknote escrow unit 103 and the coin escrow unit 121 (S323). Specifically, the cash processing apparatus 1 stores the banknotes in the respective banknote cassettes (the universal cassettes 107, the five thousand banknote cassette 109, and the thousand banknote cassette 111), and stores the coins in the dispensing hopper 125.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the flow of the deposit transaction when the suspension operation is performed in the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, first, the cash processing apparatus 1 reads the ID card or the like of the operator with the card reader unit 131, and acquires the identification information of the operator (S101). Next, the display generation unit 155 generates a display of the transaction selection screen, and the operation display unit 133 displays the transaction selection screen (S103). In the transaction selection screen, when the deposit transaction is selected (S105), the display generation unit 155 generates a display of the input screen of the deposit amount, and the operation display unit 133 displays the input screen of the deposit amount. In the input screen of the displayed payment amount, the payment amount is input by the operator (S107).

  Here, after the input amount is input on the input screen, when the interruption button 213 for interrupting the deposit transaction is pressed and interruption of the transaction is selected (S109), the operation display unit 133 receives the input deposit The amount (the slip amount) is displayed (S111). At this time, if it is necessary to correct the input deposit amount (the slip amount) due to an incorrect input or the like (S113 / Yes), the operator returns to the input screen of the deposit amount and corrects the input amount. It is good (S115).

  If the payment amount has not been corrected (S113 / No), and if the input amount has been corrected, the interruption information generation unit 151 determines the identification information of the operator who performed the suspension operation and the input payment amount. The linked interruption information is generated (S117). The generated interruption information is stored in the interruption information storage unit 153 (S119). Subsequently, the receipt printer unit 135 prints information on the transaction including the interruption information as the interruption receipt, and issues the interruption receipt to the operator (S121).

  By the above flow, the cash processing apparatus 1 executes the interruption of the transaction in response to the interruption operation from the operator.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 7, the flow of the deposit transaction in the case where the transaction in which the interruption operation has been performed by the restart operation is resumed in the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 7, first, the cash processing apparatus 1 reads the ID card or the like of the operator with the card reader unit 131, and acquires the identification information of the operator (S201). Next, the display generation unit 155 generates a display of the transaction selection screen, and the operation display unit 133 displays the transaction selection screen. Further, the display generation unit 155 generates a display of a selection screen for deposit transaction and deposit transaction resumption, and the operation display unit 133 displays the selection screen (S203).

  Here, an example of display of the selection screen 220 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, on the selection screen 220, a deposit button 221 for performing a deposit transaction and a deposit resumption button 222 for performing a deposit transaction restart are displayed. For example, the display generation unit 155 may first display the transaction selection screen 200 shown in FIG. 8 and display the selection screen 220 shown in FIG. 10 when the deposit button 202 is pressed. The operator can resume the interrupted deposit transaction by selecting the deposit resumption button 222.

  When the deposit resumption button 222 is pressed and deposit transaction resumption is selected (S205), the display generation unit 155 extracts the suspension information based on the identification information of the operator, and generates the resumption display including the extracted suspension information. To do (S207). The generated restart display is displayed on the display generation unit 155.

  An example of the restart display 230 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, in the resumption display 230, a suspended transaction list 231 is displayed in which the suspend information of suspended transactions is listed in a list. The operator can select a transaction to be resumed from the suspended transaction list 231 by pressing the selection button 234, and resume the transaction. The “processing sequence number” in the suspension transaction list 231 corresponds to the processing sequence number printed to identify the suspension operation of the transaction in the suspension receipt. The operator can grasp which interruption information corresponds to which transaction by referring to the processing sequence number printed on the interruption receipt.

  In addition, when the displayed interruption information does not fit in the interrupted transaction list 231 of one page because the number of interrupted transactions is large, the display generation unit 155 may divide the interrupted transaction list 231 into a plurality of pages and display it. Good. In such a case, the display generation unit 155 displays the “display previous” button 232 and the “display next” button 233. The operator can switch the page of the suspended transaction list 231 by pressing the “display previous” button 232 and the “display next” button 233.

  Since the restart display 230 shown in FIG. 11 shows the case where the operator restarts the transaction interrupted by the operator, only one type of ID is displayed in the "operator ID" column. On the other hand, for example, when the administrator performs the resumption operation, a plurality of IDs of the operator under the management of the administrator is displayed in the “operator ID” column.

  When a transaction to be resumed is selected from the interrupted transaction list 231 of the restart display 230 (S209), the operation display unit 133 displays the payment amount (the slip amount) input at the time of the interruption operation (S211). Next, cash is deposited by the operator who has confirmed the displayed payment amount (S213). After the cash inserted from the bill insertion slot 101 and the coin insertion slot 117 is transported to the bill storage unit 103 and the coin storage unit 121, the amount of money is counted (S215), and the counted amount of cash is the operation It is displayed on the display unit 133 (S217).

  Here, as described above, in the cash processing apparatus 1, there is a limit to the amount of cash that can be input at one time. Therefore, when the amount of cash to be inserted is large and it is necessary to deposit additional cash, the operator selects additional cash deposit (S219 / Yes) and performs deposit of cash again (S213). It is also good. On the other hand, when there is no additional deposit of cash, the operator confirms the counted amount of cash and ends the deposit of cash.

  In addition, when the operator confirms the counted amount of cash after depositing the cash, if it is necessary to correct the deposited amount entered due to an incorrect input or the like (S221 / Yes), the operator proceeds to deposit It may return to the input screen of the amount, and the input amount may be corrected (S223).

  If the payment amount has not been corrected (S221 / No), and if the input amount has been corrected, the receipt printer unit 135 prints the result of the payment transaction restart as a resume receipt, and gives the operator a resume receipt. Issue (S225). Note that the processing number of the interrupted receipt is printed on the resumed receipt, whereby the operator can associate the resumed receipt and the interrupted receipt in the same transaction.

  Thereafter, the cash processing apparatus 1 stores the cash which has been transported to the banknote escrow unit 103 and the coin escrow unit 121 (S227). Specifically, the cash processing apparatus 1 stores the banknotes in the respective banknote cassettes (the universal cassettes 107, the five thousand banknote cassette 109, and the thousand banknote cassette 111), and stores the coins in the dispensing hopper 125.

  By the above flow, the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can interrupt the deposit / withdrawal transaction by the input of the deposit / withdrawal amount by the suspension operation of the operator. In addition, the cash processing apparatus 1 can resume the suspended transaction and perform cash deposit / withdrawal by the resumption operation of the operator.

  Thereby, when cash processing device 1 is crowded etc., an operator can shorten time which another operator waits for the vacancy of cash processing device 1 by interrupting dealings. In addition, the operator can resume the transaction when the cash processing apparatus 1 is not congested, and can deposit or withdraw cash that takes time by counting or the like. Therefore, according to the cash processing apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment, the convenience for an operator can be improved.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs can conceive of various changes or modifications within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. Of course, it is understood that these also fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

  For example, although the above embodiment exemplarily illustrates the case where the deposit transaction is performed mainly by the cash processing apparatus, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, even when a withdrawal transaction is performed in the cash processing apparatus according to the present invention, the interruption and resumption of the transaction can be performed with the same configuration and method.
