Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all drawings, similar components are designated by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram conceptually showing a system configuration of a store system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The store system 1 includes a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal 5, a change machine 100 connected to the POS terminal 5, a store server 300, and a mobile terminal 200. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the store system 1 includes a plurality of sets of POS terminals 5 and a change machine 100, or the store system 1 of the present invention includes at least one set of POS terminals 5 and a change machine 100.

In addition, in each figure of this specification, the structure of the part which does not relate to the essence of this invention is omitted and is not shown. For example, the description of the configuration of the POS terminal 5 will be omitted.

The POS terminal 5 and the store server 300 may be connected to each other via the network 3a. The network 3a is not particularly limited, but may be a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the like. A part of the network 3a may be a public communication network. Further, the networks between the store server 300 and the POS terminals 5 and between the POS terminals 5 may be different systems.

The change machine 100 automatically deposits and withdraws money for cash payment among the prices of the products registered for purchase at the POS terminal 5.

The mobile terminal 200 is a portable terminal operated by a store employee, and is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like.

Money is stored in the change machine 100 by denomination, but excess or deficiency occurs depending on the denomination in the process of transaction. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the balance in the change machine 100 by denomination. In addition, usually, in the cash register closing work after the store is closed, a predetermined amount of change is left in the change machine 100 in preparation for the next day's business, and other sales proceeds are collected. As a method of setting the balance of the change machine 100, first, the total balance (for example, 30,000 yen) and the minimum amount for each denomination (the total amount of the minimum amount is, for example, 15,000 yen, which is half of the total balance). To set.

Then, each denomination is paid out from the change machine 100 by a predetermined number (for example, 10) in a predetermined order. At this time, the number of sheets to be paid out is reduced so as not to fall below the minimum amount for each denomination, or adjustments are made so as not to pay out the denomination. If the minimum amount of money for each denomination cannot be left, money will be replenished for that denomination. After the predetermined number of denominations have been paid out, the same operation is repeated for the remaining denominations without paying out the denominations that have reached the minimum amount. For example, in the second and subsequent rounds, the number may be less than the number paid out in the first round (for example, one to several cards each). Then, when the total balance of the change machine 100 reaches the set amount (for example, 30,000 yen), the withdrawal is stopped.

When an employee of the store operates and gives an instruction to the change machine 100 as a cash register closing operation, these payouts are performed based on the information preset in the change machine 100. The store employee collects the sales amount paid out from the change machine 100 and replenishes the shortage of change according to the instruction of the change machine 100.

In this way, the replenishment of change based on the setting information can be performed according to the instruction of the change machine 100, but the setting information itself needs to be determined at the store. For example, since the sales amount fluctuates depending on a specific day of the week, a specific day, or a specific period (for example, a sale period), the required amount of change also fluctuates. In addition, when the number of workers is small, the change replenishment work cannot be performed frequently, so if the minimum amount can be raised, the frequency of occurrence of the change out alarm can be reduced. In this way, it is convenient to be able to change the setting information on a daily basis.

In the present invention, the work load is reduced by performing the work of changing the setting information of the change machine 100 using the mobile terminal 200.

Although three mobile terminals 200 are drawn in FIG. 1, the store system 1 does not need to include three mobile terminals 200, and includes at least one mobile terminal 200. For example, a store employee or the like may carry at least one mobile terminal 200 to communicate with each of the plurality of POS terminals 5 and the store server 300.

The mobile terminal 200 is connected to the change machine 100 by short-range communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), infrared communication, or non-contact IC communication.
Further, the mobile terminal 200 is connected to the store server 300 via the network 3b. The network 3b is not particularly limited, but may be LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), or the like. A part of the network 3b may be a public communication network. Alternatively, when the store server 300 is in the store, it may be connected by short-range communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), infrared communication, or non-contact IC communication.
