The maintenance amount determination unit 2005 determines the total value for each denomination to be collected or replenished for each of the maintenance target machines. That is, the maintenance amount determination unit 2005 determines the amount and number of coins for each denomination to be collected or replenished. Here, the collected amount and the replenishment amount can be any amount in which the amount of money for each denomination is less than the collection threshold 209 and larger than the replenishment threshold 211. For example, the collection amount and the replenishment amount may be arbitrary amounts specified for each denomination. Further, the collection amount may be a uniform amount regardless of whether the immediate collection threshold is 210 or more or the collection threshold is 209 or more. Further, the collection amount may be different depending on whether the immediate collection threshold is 210 or more or the collection threshold is 209 or more. Further, the collected amount may be an amount obtained by subtracting a preset amount from the existing amount. Similar to the collection amount, the replenishment amount may be a uniform amount regardless of whether the immediate replenishment threshold is 212 or less or the replenishment threshold is 211 or less. Further, the replenishment amount may be different depending on whether the immediate replenishment threshold is 212 or less or the replenishment threshold is 211 or less. Further, the replenishment amount may be an amount obtained by subtracting the existing amount from the preset amount.

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 is an example of a first determination means, a second determination means, a first calculation means, and a second calculation means. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 generates maintenance information indicating the contents of maintenance for adjusting the amount of money. Here, the maintenance information is information including the maintenance order, the maintenance content, the preparation amount, and the estimated collection amount. The maintenance order is information indicating the order in which maintenance is performed for each of the maintenance target machines. The maintenance content is the adjustment content for adjusting the currency of the deposit / withdrawal unit 104. For example, the maintenance content is information indicating either collection, collection and replenishment of money, or replenishment. In addition, the maintenance content includes the total value of money for each denomination to be replenished or collected. The total value may be the total amount of money for each denomination or the number of coins for each denomination. The reserve amount is information indicating the amount of money for each denomination that does not cause a shortage of money to be replenished when the balance is adjusted according to the maintenance order. The estimated collection amount is information indicating the amount of money to be collected for each denomination when the amount of money is adjusted according to the maintenance order. Then, when the maintenance condition determination unit 2003 determines that the maintenance condition is satisfied, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 designates the mobile terminal 30 as a transmission destination and makes a maintenance request including the maintenance information generated in the communication control unit 2001. Send it.

Here, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 generates maintenance information based on the generation settings for generating maintenance information. For example, the generation settings include a normal setting, an offset setting, and a sorting setting. Then, the setting information selected from the normal setting, the offset setting, and the rearrangement setting is set in the generation setting. Here, it is assumed that the method of selecting the generation setting does not matter. For example, the generation setting may be set with the setting information selected by the operation received by the operation unit 205, or the setting information selected by the information received by the communication interface 203 may be set.

The normal setting is a setting in which the order of priority for carrying out the predetermined maintenance is set to the maintenance order. The normal setting is a setting in which the collected money is not used for replenishment. That is, the normal setting is a setting in which the total amount of money to be replenished to each maintenance target machine is set as the reserve amount. The order of priority is, for example, the order of the closest distance from the backyard where the money to be replenished is stored.

The offset setting is a setting in which the order of priority for carrying out the predetermined maintenance is set to the maintenance order. The offset setting is a setting in which the money collected from one or more maintenance target machines is used for replenishment of one or more maintenance target machines. That is, the offset setting is a setting in which the amount of money for each denomination that does not cause a shortage with respect to the replenishment amount determined by the maintenance amount determination unit 2005 when the money collected from each maintenance target machine is used for replenishment is set as the reserve amount. Is.

The sort setting is a setting for rearranging the maintenance order so that the reserve amount is reduced. The sorting setting is a setting in which the collected money is used for replenishment. More specifically, in the case of the rearrangement setting, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 classifies the maintenance target machines according to the maintenance contents of collection, collection and replenishment, or replenishment. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the maintenance target machine classified as recovery, the maintenance target machine classified as recovery and replenishment, and the maintenance target machine classified as replenishment in this order.

Next, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges each of the maintenance target machines (first maintenance target machines) classified as collection in the order of predetermined priority. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 uses the money collected from the first maintenance target machine and the second maintenance target machine for replenishment for each of the maintenance target machines (second maintenance target machines) classified into collection and replenishment. If so, it is determined whether or not the replenishment amount determined by the maintenance amount determination unit 2005 can be replenished. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the replenishable second maintenance target machines in the order of priority. Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the second maintenance target machine that cannot be replenished in the order of priority after the second maintenance target machine that can be replenished.

Next, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the maintenance target machines (third maintenance target machines) classified as replenishment in the order of priority after the second maintenance target machine that cannot be replenished. Then, when the maintenance information generation unit 2006 uses the money collected from the first maintenance target machine and the second maintenance target machine for replenishment, the money that does not cause a shortage with respect to the replenishment amount determined by the maintenance amount determination unit 2005. The amount of money for each species is used as the reserve amount.

In addition, it may not be possible to collect or replenish money because the machine to be maintained is in use. In such a case, the communication control unit 2001 receives a change request requesting a change in the maintenance order of the maintenance target machine. When the communication control unit 2001 receives the maintenance information change request, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 regenerates the maintenance information in which the maintenance order of the maintenance target machine is changed. For example, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 generates maintenance information in which the maintenance order of the maintenance target machine that cannot be maintained is lowered. Here, the amount of reduction in the maintenance order is arbitrary. For example, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 may end the maintenance order of the maintenance target machine that cannot be maintained, or may lower the maintenance order by one or a plurality as compared with the conventional one.

Then, when the skip button 3130 is touched, the communication control unit 3001 designates a maintenance target machine that cannot be maintained, and transmits a maintenance information change request to the store server 20. Here, as the maintenance target machine for which maintenance cannot be performed, the maintenance target machine having the earliest maintenance order is designated among the maintenance target machines for which maintenance has not yet been performed. The method of designating a maintenance target machine that cannot be maintained is not limited to this. For example, one or more maintenance target machines designated by the operation accepted by the operation control unit 3002 may be designated as maintenance target machines that cannot be maintained.

Then, when the communication control unit 3001 receives the maintenance information as a response to the change request, the display control unit 3003 displays the list screen 3100 based on the received maintenance information. In the case of the list screen 3100 shown in FIG. 7, the communication control unit 3001 designates "POS terminal No. 6 replenishment / recovery" as a maintenance target machine that cannot be maintained, and requests a change in maintenance information. Is transmitted to the store server 20. The approximate area 3140 is an area displaying the total amount of the reserve amount and the total amount of the estimated collection amount. The possession area 3150 is an area displaying the total amount of money currently possessed in a series of maintenance.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the detailed screen 3200. The detail screen 3200 is a screen displaying the details of the maintenance to be performed on the maintenance target machine. The detail screen 3200 includes a title area 3210, a target area 3220, a detail area 3230, a completion button 3240, and a detail code symbol 3250. The title area 3210 is an area for displaying a title. The target area 3220 is an area for displaying the maintenance target machine for which maintenance is to be performed. The detail area 3230 is an area for displaying the amount of money for each denomination, the number of coins, and the total amount for each of replenishment and collection. The completion button 3240 is a button to be pressed when maintenance is completed. The detail code symbol 3250 is a code symbol indicating maintenance contents. That is, the detailed code symbol 3250 is a code symbol indicating the amount of money for each denomination to be replenished and the amount of money for each denomination to be collected. When the detail code symbol 3250 is read, the POS terminal 10 executes withdrawal and deposit of the amount of money for each instructed denomination. The detailed code symbol 3250 may be generated by the display control unit 3003 based on the maintenance information, or may be included in the maintenance information.

Further, the input that the maintenance is completed is not limited to the pressing of the completion button 3240. For example, the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 of the POS terminal 10 stores the number of coins stored in the storage unit in the amount of money for each denomination by counting the number of coins deposited or withdrawn. Therefore, the POS terminal 10 notifies the store server 20 that the maintenance has been completed on condition that the maintenance content indicated by the detailed code symbol 3250 has been performed. Then, the store server 20 notifies the mobile terminal 30 of the notification indicating that the maintenance is completed for the POS terminal 10 that has sent the notification.

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 subtracts the amount for each denomination to be replenished to the maintenance target machine to be processed from the cumulative amount (step S35). The maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the subtraction result to 0 even when the amount to be replenished is larger than the cumulative amount.

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 adds the amount of money for each denomination that could not be replenished in step S35 to the shortage amount indicating the amount of money for each denomination that was insufficient in the replenishment so far (step S36). That is, when the amount to be replenished is larger than the cumulative amount, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 adds the amount obtained by subtracting the cumulative amount from the amount to be replenished to the shortage amount. Further, the store server 20 shifts to step S31.

Then, on condition that there is no maintenance target machine for which the maintenance order has not been set (step S31; No), the maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the shortage amount as the preparation amount (step S37).

As a result, the store server 20 ends the generation process in the offset setting.

Next, the generation process in the sort setting executed by the store server 20 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the generation process (step S10 in FIG. 9) in the sort setting executed by the store server 20 of the present embodiment.

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 classifies the maintenance target machines according to the maintenance contents of collection, collection and replenishment, or replenishment (step S41).

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 determines whether or not there is a maintenance target machine that is classified as collection and whose maintenance order is not set (step S42). On condition that there is a maintenance target machine that is classified as collection and the maintenance order is not set (step S42; Yes), the maintenance information generation unit 2006 has the highest maintenance target from the corresponding maintenance target machine. The machine is extracted as a processing target (step S43).

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the value obtained by incrementing the variable as the maintenance order of the maintenance target machine to be processed (step S44). That is, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the maintenance order 1 in the case of the first time, and sets the next maintenance order set last time in the second and subsequent times.

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 adds the amount of money for each denomination to be collected from the maintenance target machine to be processed to the cumulative amount of money for each denomination that is added in the case of collection and subtracted in the case of replenishment (step S45). .. Further, the store server 20 shifts to step S42.

On condition that there is no maintenance target machine that is classified as collection and the maintenance order is not set (step S42; No), the maintenance information generation unit 2006 processes the maintenance target machines classified as collection and replenishment. It is determined whether or not the number of times is less than the specified value (step S46).

On condition that the number of processes is less than the specified value (step S46; Yes), the maintenance information generation unit 2006 increments the number of processes (step S47).

As described above, according to the management system 1 according to the present embodiment, the store server 20 stores the amount of money stored in the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 included in the POS terminal 10 in the amount information table 208. is doing. Then, the store server 20 extracts the maintenance target based on the amount of money stored in the amount of money information table 208 when performing the maintenance for adjusting the amount of money. Then, the store server 20 transmits the maintenance information having the maintenance order, which is the order in which the maintenance is performed to the extracted maintenance target, to the mobile terminal 30. The clerk may perform maintenance based on the maintenance order displayed on the mobile terminal 30. Therefore, the store server 20 according to the present embodiment can efficiently manage the amount of money.

Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other embodiments, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and variations thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are also included in the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.

Further, in the above embodiment, the generation setting for generating maintenance information includes a normal setting, an offset setting, and a rearrangement setting. Then, it was explained that the maintenance information generation unit 2006 determines the order in which maintenance is performed and determines the reserve amount based on the generation settings. However, the setting information is not limited to the above three. For example, the setting information may include a round-trip setting, a crime prevention setting, a short-distance setting, and the like.

The round-trip setting is a setting that reduces the travel distance of the clerk who collects and replenishes money. That is, the round-trip setting is a setting in which money is collected from the POS terminal 10 in the order of the closest distance from the backyard, and the money is replenished to the POS terminal 10 in the order of the distance from the backyard. The round-trip setting is a setting in which the shortfall when the collected money is used for replenishment is used as the reserve amount.

More specifically, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the POS terminals 10 for collecting money from the POS terminals 10 extracted by the maintenance target extraction unit 2004 in the order of priority. Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the POS terminals 10 for replenishing money among the POS terminals 10 extracted by the maintenance target extraction unit 2004 in the order opposite to the priority. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 generates a maintenance order by arranging each of the POS terminals 10 for replenishing money after each of the POS terminals 10 for collecting money. Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 calculates the shortage amount for each denomination by subtracting the supplementary amount from the collected amount for each denomination. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the calculated shortage amount as the reserve amount.

The crime prevention setting is a setting to prevent crime by shortening the distance traveled by the clerk in possession of the money to be replenished. That is, in the crime prevention setting, the money taken out from the backyard is replenished to one or more POS terminals 10. Further, in the crime prevention setting, the money collected from the POS terminal 10 is replenished to one or a plurality of nearby POS terminals 10.

More specifically, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 calculates the total amount of money to be replenished to each POS terminal 10 for each denomination. Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 calculates the total amount of money collected from each POS terminal 10 for each denomination. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 subtracts the total amount of money to be collected from the total amount of money to be replenished for each denomination. As a result, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 calculates the shortage amount of money to be replenished for each denomination. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the shortage amount for each denomination as the reserve amount.

The maintenance information generation unit 2006 arranges the POS terminals 10 for replenishing the reserve amount of money in the order of priority. Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 near the POS terminal 10 that was last replenished with the reserve amount of money from the POS terminals 10 that collect the money extracted by the maintenance target extraction unit 2004. That is, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 having the priority closest to the priority of the POS terminal 10 which is the POS terminal 10 for collecting money and which is the last to replenish the money of the reserve amount.

Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 for replenishing the money collected from the POS terminal 10. That is, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 having the priority closest to the priority of the POS terminal 10 for collecting the money, which is the POS terminal 10 for replenishing the money. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 replenishes the collected money to the POS terminal 10, but if there is a surplus in the collected money, the POS terminal 10 is the target for replenishing the surplus money and has the next closest priority. To extract. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 for replenishing the money until the collected money is exhausted.

Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 near the POS terminal 10 that was last replenished with the collected money from the POS terminals 10 that collect the money extracted by the maintenance target extraction unit 2004. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 extracts the POS terminal 10 that replenishes the money collected from the extracted POS terminal 10. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 repeatedly executes this process until there are no more POS terminals 10 for collecting money. The maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the maintenance order by arranging the POS terminals 10 extracted in this way in the order of extraction after the POS terminal 10 for replenishing the money of the reserve amount.

The short-distance setting is a setting that reduces the travel distance of the clerk who collects and replenishes money. Here, in the case of a large store such as a department store, the POS terminals 10 may not be densely packed and may be installed at distant positions. For example, the short-distance setting is a setting that reduces the travel distance of a clerk in such a large store by an algorithm such as the Dijkstra method that extracts the shortest route.

More specifically, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 uses the map information indicating the installation position where each POS terminal 10 is installed, and the clerk takes the shortest route to each POS terminal 10 extracted by the maintenance target extraction unit 2004. The moving route to be moved is extracted by, for example, the Dijkstra method. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the order of the extracted movement routes in the maintenance order. Further, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 calculates the shortage amount for each denomination by subtracting the supplementary amount from the collected amount for each denomination. Then, the maintenance information generation unit 2006 sets the calculated shortage amount as the reserve amount.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the POS terminal 10 includes the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 has been described as an example. Devices other than the POS terminal 10, for example, a self-POS terminal or a semi-self POS terminal may include a deposit / withdrawal unit 104. The self-POS terminal is a device in which the customer himself / herself performs an operation related to sales registration for registering a product to be sold and accounting processing for the registered product. The semi-self POS terminal is a device in which the customer himself / herself performs an operation related to sales registration for registering a product to be sold and accounting processing for the registered product. Further, the management system 1 may include a POS terminal 10, a self-POS terminal having a deposit / withdrawal unit 104, and a semi-self-POS terminal having a deposit / withdrawal unit 104.

Further, in the above embodiment, the POS terminal 10 operates according to the control program 110, so that the communication control unit 1001, the read control unit 1002, the sales registration unit 1003, the accounting processing unit 1004, and the existing amount information generation unit 1005 are used. It was explained that the maintenance control unit 1006 is provided. However, a part of these functional units may be provided by the deposit / withdrawal unit 104, which is a deposit / withdrawal device.

Further, in the above embodiment, the POS terminal 10 or the mobile terminal 30 may include a beacon transmitter that transmits a beacon by short-range wireless communication such as BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy). The store server 20 can specify the position where the mobile terminal 30 is located by receiving a reception notification indicating that the beacon has been received from the POS terminal 10 or the mobile terminal 30. When the store server 20 receives, for example, a request to change maintenance information, the store server 20 can provide the order more efficiently by setting the maintenance order based on the position where the mobile terminal 30 is located.

Further, in the above embodiment, the case of collection and replenishment as maintenance for adjusting the amount of money stored in the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 has been described as an example. The maintenance that adjusts the amount of money may be currency exchange. In the case of exchange for collecting money, the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 accepts deposits of the same amount of money as the amount of money of the denomination to be collected with a denomination different from the denomination to be collected. Further, in the case of exchange for replenishing money, the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 withdraws the same amount of money as the amount of money of the denomination to be replenished with a denomination different from the denomination to be replenished. Further, in the case of currency exchange, the store server 20 transmits maintenance information indicating that the currency is exchanged. Then, the mobile terminal 30 displays on the list screen 3100 and the detail screen 3200 that the replenishment by exchange or the collection by exchange.

Further, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the store server 20 transmits maintenance information to the mobile terminal 30. However, the store server 20 may transmit maintenance information to a device other than the mobile terminal 30. For example, the store server 20 may transmit maintenance information to a printing device such as a printer. In this case, the printer prints out image data corresponding to the list screen 3100 and the detail screen 3200 based on the maintenance information. Then, the clerk can carry out maintenance for adjusting the amount of money stored in the deposit / withdrawal unit 104 according to the printed matter printed out.

Further, in the above embodiment, it is explained that the POS terminal 10, the store server 20, or the mobile terminal 30 calculates and displays the amount of money for each denomination. However, the POS terminal 10, the store server 20, or the mobile terminal 30 may calculate or display the number of coins for each denomination. Further, the POS terminal 10, the store server 20, or the mobile terminal 30 may calculate and display both the amount and the number of coins.
