Description

  The present invention relates to a cash processing device, and is applied to, for example, a financial institution, a transportation institution (for example, a transportation business office that handles cash such as cash on delivery), and a device that manages and deposits and withdraws cash at a retail store or the like. I can do it.

  At present, cash processing devices (cash management machines, cash depositing / dispensing machines) have been introduced as devices for depositing and withdrawing cash in financial institutions, transportation institutions, retail stores, and the like. As a conventional cash processing device, for example, there is a device described in Patent Document 1.

  In the device described in Patent Literature 1, if cash is not left and taken out even after a certain period of time with respect to cash input into an input section (input port), a shutter of the input section (input port) is closed once, After confirming the identity using the ID card and the personal identification number, the cash and the journal on which the operation information is printed are paid out, thereby preventing an accident such as loss of cash.

  However, in the device described in Patent Document 1, if an operator who has performed a transaction for which personal identification is to be performed leaves the device, another operator cannot identify himself or herself, so that cash to be removed from the device is taken out. I can't do that. In this case, the apparatus described in Patent Literature 1 has a problem that it is not possible to carry out a continuous transaction, and it is impossible to conduct a transaction even if a next person who wants to trade comes next.

  In view of the above-described problems in Patent Literature 1, there is conventionally an apparatus described in Patent Literature 2. In the device described in Patent Literature 2, the cash that has been forgotten to be taken into the payment port is taken in after a certain period of time, and a transaction is continuously made with the next transaction applicant.

  However, in the device described in Patent Document 2, the cash left in the payment slot is taken in after a certain period of time, and the customer can continue the transaction with the next transaction applicant. Is not counted as sales or in-apparatus. Therefore, in the device described in Patent Literature 2, even if cash that has been forgotten is taken in, it cannot be recycled (returned as cash to be withdrawn), but is only accumulated. In other words, in the device described in Patent Document 2, even if cash that has been forgotten is taken in, the cash is eventually treated as so-called “death to money”, which is very concerned from the viewpoint of effective use of cash in the device. It should be treated. Further, even in the device described in Patent Document 2, if the stored cash is collected at a location away from the device, even if the operator who wishes to deliver the cash that he has forgotten returns, he immediately forgets to collect it.

The coin return section 138 is provided with an opening 138a on the side surface so that an operator can take out the internal coins.

  Next, a specific control process performed by the control unit 10 will be described.

  The control unit 10 includes a transaction processing unit 101 that performs transaction processing (control processing of each unit of the cash processing apparatus 1) in accordance with an operation of an operator.

  The transaction processing unit 101 starts a transaction with the operator in response to the operator's operation on the operation display unit 14, and performs a cash deposit process (a process in which the banknote processing unit 12 or the coin processing unit 13 receives and stores cash input), A cash dispensing process (a process of discharging cash stored in the banknote processing unit 12 and the coin processing unit 13) is performed.

  At the time of a transaction, the transaction processing unit 101 requests the operator to input an ID or the like for identifying (authenticating) the operator, and identifies (authenticates) the operator who conducts the transaction based on the input information. The method by which the transaction processing unit 101 receives the input of the ID from the operator is not limited. For example, the cash processing apparatus 1 may be configured to accept reading of a card (a card on which an ID is recorded) possessed by the operator using the card processing unit 16, or to receive an ID from the operator using the operation display unit 14. Operation input (manual input) may be accepted. Thereby, the transaction processing unit 101 can perform identification and authentication of the operator at the time of the transaction. As described above, in the cash processing apparatus 1, the operation display unit 14 (touch panel display 141) or the card processing unit 16 (card reader 161) implements an identifier input unit that receives an input of an ID (identifier relating to an operator). .

  Further, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the printing unit 15 to perform a process of issuing a transaction receipt on which the details of the executed transaction are printed.

  Further, the transaction processing unit 101 performs a process of recording (adding) transaction contents to the transaction history record data 111 of the data storage unit 11 at the time of transaction. Although the data configuration of the transaction history record data 111 is not limited, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, transaction time, transaction type (transaction type), ID (ID indicating an operator involved in the transaction), and amount May be included.

  Further, the transaction processing unit 101 performs a deposit transaction for taking in the remaining cash and depositing (storing) the cash if the operator has left behind in the apparatus after the transaction is completed. And

  In the example of this embodiment, the transaction processing unit 101, when a coin remains in the coin insertion unit 131 of the coin processing unit 13 after completion of the deposit transaction (when the coin is detected by the sensor 131b), Is stored therein (stored in the coin storage unit 135), and a deposit transaction for the coin is executed. At this time, the transaction processing unit 101 creates a temporary ID (hereinafter, referred to as a “temporary ID”) based on the ID used in the payment transaction performed immediately before, and uses the temporary ID to retain the temporary ID. Execute the deposit transaction of the coins that had been.

  In this embodiment, the transaction processing unit 101 adds a symbol (character) indicating a temporary ID to the beginning or end of an ID (hereinafter, also referred to as a “normal ID”) used in the immediately preceding deposit transaction. Is created as a temporary ID. For example, if the normal ID used in the immediately preceding deposit transaction is “222222”, the transaction processing unit 101 adds “Z” to the beginning of the normal ID and temporarily sets “Z222222”. Create as ID. The symbol indicating the temporary ID needs to be one that is not used in the normal ID. Further, the symbol indicating the temporary ID may be a plurality of digits.

  The transaction processing unit 101 may create a temporary ID by replacing some digits of the normal ID with a symbol indicating that the ID is a temporary ID. For example, in the transaction processing unit 101, when the number of digits that can be applied as the ID (the normal ID and the temporary ID) is eight and the eight digits are already applied as the normal ID, the temporary ID is further used as described above. Since it is not possible to add a symbol indicating that there is, a temporary ID may be created by replacing a part of the normal ID with a symbol indicating that it is a temporary ID. For example, when the normal ID used in the immediately preceding deposit transaction is “02222222”, the transaction processing unit 101 replaces “Z222222” with the temporary ID by replacing the head of the normal ID with “Z”. You may make it create as.

(A-2) Operation of First Embodiment Next, the operation of the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

  FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are flowcharts showing operations when a cash-in transaction is performed in the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.

  First, it is assumed that a payment transaction is selected (for example, selected from a transaction selection menu screen) by an operation input to the operation display unit 14 by the operator. Then, the cash processing apparatus 1 accepts an ID input from the operator (a card reading using the card processing unit 16 or an ID input by receiving an input using the operation display unit 14). Then, in the cash processing apparatus 1, it is assumed that cash (banknotes / coins) has been input by the operator (S101). At this time, the coin is inserted into the coin insertion unit 131 of the coin processing unit 13. At this time, the bill is inserted into the bill receiving / dispensing port 121 of the bill processing unit 12.

  Next, the transaction processing unit 101 checks whether the ID used in the current deposit transaction is a temporary ID (an ID with “Z” added at the beginning) or a normal ID (S102). If the ID used in the current deposit transaction is a temporary ID (an ID with “Z” added at the beginning), the transaction processing unit 101 operates from step S114 described later, and the ID used in the current deposit transaction is If it is a normal ID, the operation starts from step S103 described later.

  When the ID used for the current deposit transaction is the normal ID, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the banknote processing unit 12 and the coin storage unit 135 to execute discrimination and counting of the inserted cash (banknotes / coins). Let it. Then, after the cash counting process, the transaction processing unit 101 causes the operation display unit 14 to display the counting result (for example, the counted number and total amount of cash for each denomination) (S103). Confirmation is received (S104). For example, the transaction processing unit 101 may receive a confirmation of the counting result (payment amount) or a suspension of the transaction by pressing a predetermined key (soft key) displayed on the operation display unit 14. The transaction processing unit 101 operates from step S105 described later when accepting the determination of the counting result (payment amount) in step S104, and operates from step S109 described later when accepting the cancellation of the transaction.

  If the transaction suspension is received in step S104 described above, the transaction processing unit 101 returns the inserted cash (banknotes / coins) to the operator (S109), and ends the current transaction processing. At this time, the bill processing unit 12 discharges the inserted bill to the bill receiving / dispensing port 121. Further, the coin processing unit 13 discharges the inserted coin to the coin return unit 138.

  On the other hand, when the determination of the counting result (payment amount) is received in step S104 described above, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the banknote processing unit 12 and the coin processing unit 13 to execute the storage of the counted cash ( S105).

  Next, the transaction processing unit 101 performs various data processing (payment storage processing) associated with the current payment transaction (S106). The transaction processing unit 101 executes, for example, an addition process of various counters (for example, a high counter value for each denomination), an addition update process of the transaction history record data 111, and the like.

  Next, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the printing unit 15 to discharge the receipt on which the transaction result is printed (S107).

  Next, the transaction processing unit 101 checks whether or not coins remain in the coin insertion unit 131 (S108). Specifically, the transaction processing unit 101 checks whether or not coins remain based on the detection result of the sensor 131b inside the coin insertion unit 131.

  The transaction processing unit 101 operates from step S110 described later when it is confirmed that a coin remains in the coin insertion unit 131, and when it is confirmed that no coin remains in the coin insertion unit 131, Ends the current transaction processing.

  When it is confirmed that coins remain in the coin insertion unit 131, the transaction processing unit 101 performs an output process for inducing removal of the remaining coins (S110). For example, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the operation display unit 14 to display and output a remaining coin removal guidance screen for guiding removal of remaining coins as shown in FIG. 7, and waits for a predetermined time (S111). ).

  On the residual coin removal guide screen shown in FIG. 7, a message for guiding the removal of the remaining coins (in FIG. 7, a message saying "coins are left in the coin insertion section, please remove them") is arranged. I have.

  Next, the transaction processing unit 101 confirms again whether or not any coin remains in the coin insertion unit 131 (S112). If it is confirmed that no coin remains in the coin insertion unit 131, the transaction processing unit 101 determines whether the coin remains. If it is determined that the coin has been taken out and the transaction is terminated, and it is confirmed that the coin remains in the coin insertion unit 131, the operation starts from step S113 described later.

  If it is determined in step S112 that coins remain in the coin insertion unit 131, the transaction processing unit 101 creates a temporary ID (S113), returns to step S102, and operates to execute the temporary ID. Will be shifted to a depositing process using. At this time, the transaction processing unit 101 creates a temporary ID by adding “Z” indicating the temporary ID to the head of the ID received at step S101.

  When it is confirmed in step S102 that the ID used for the current deposit transaction is the temporary ID, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the coin processing unit 13 to remove the coin remaining in the coin insertion unit 131. The coins are counted and stored in the coin storage unit 135 (S114).

  Next, the transaction processing unit 101 performs various data processing (receipt storage processing) associated with the current deposit transaction (S115). At this time, the transaction processing unit 101 executes an additional update process of the transaction history record data 111 using the temporary ID (ID with “Z” added to the head) created in step S113 described above.

  As described above, when the ID used for the deposit transaction is the temporary ID, it can be determined that the operator is absent, so the cash processing apparatus 1 (transaction processing unit 101) performs the display processing of the counting result and the transaction receipt. In such a case, the payment processing is skipped and the payment transaction is advanced.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the transaction history record data 111 after the deposit processing using the temporary ID is performed on the remaining coins by the processing of steps S110 to S115.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which data of a deposit transaction using the temporary ID “Z222222” (temporary ID based on the immediately preceding normal ID “222222”) is added immediately after the deposit transaction using the normal ID “222222”. Is shown.

(A-3) Effects of First Embodiment According to the first embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  In the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, coins remaining in the coin insertion unit 131 after the end of the transaction are released into the apparatus as payment processing by a temporary ID operator (operator) to release the remaining coins. , You can move on to a transaction with the next operator. Thus, in the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, even if coins remain in the coin insertion unit 131 after the end of the transaction, the operator performing the next transaction does not notice the existence of the remaining coins. Troubles such as inserting coins for the next deposit transaction can be suppressed.

  Further, in the cash processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the remaining coins can be handled as cash deposited, so that even the remaining coins are recycled (returned) to the dispensing process. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the so-called “dead money”.

  Furthermore, in the cash processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, a temporary ID is created based on the ID input by the operator, and a transaction history (for example, transaction history record data 111) using the temporary ID is recorded. Since it is possible to identify the operator who left the coin based on the transaction history (transaction history record data 111), it is possible to easily perform a refund process or the like.

  Further, in the cash processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, it is possible to manage cash deposited with a temporary ID separately from cash deposited with a normal ID. For example, in the cash processing apparatus 1 (transaction processing unit 101), the cash deposited with the temporary ID is sorted as cash not included in the collection processing (processing of dispensing cash in the apparatus as cash for collection). Then, the cash deposited with the temporary ID is left in the apparatus without being collected. Accordingly, when using the cash processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the administrator can refund the cash (remaining cash) deposited with the temporary ID to the operator at any time with easy processing. Becomes possible. For example, when the cash deposited with the temporary ID (remaining cash) has been collected by the collection process, the administrator of the cash processing apparatus 1 has been collected and transported to another place, for example. It was necessary to perform complicated business processing of refunding the cash (remaining cash) deposited with the temporary ID from the cash.

(B) Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a cash processing apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Is different from

(B-2) Operation of Second Embodiment Next, the operation of the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

  The operation of the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment can be shown with reference to FIGS. In the cash processing apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment, since the operations in steps S110 to S113 are the same as those in the first embodiment, the operations in steps S110 to S113 are also shown in FIG. 6 in the second embodiment. be able to. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals (step numbers) are given to the steps of the same operation as in FIG. 5 described above.

  In the cash processing apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, when a deposit transaction is performed on the remaining cash (coins) using the temporary ID, a transaction receipt is not output (discharged). On the other hand, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a transaction receipt is output (discharged) when a deposit transaction is performed on the remaining cash (coins) using the temporary ID as described above. This is different from the embodiment.

  The flowchart shown in FIG. 8 differs from the first embodiment in that the process of step S201 is added after step S115.

  In step S201, the transaction processing unit 101 controls the printing unit 15 to discharge the transaction receipt on which the transaction result is printed.
