Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment, a deposit terminal will be described as an example of an information processing device. Further, in the embodiment, a storage medium will be described as an example of a medium. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a system according to an embodiment. The system is a system that sells products sold in a store and manages the sales of the sold products, and is mainly installed within the store. The system includes a plurality of deposit terminals 10 installed in the store, one or more POS (Point of Sales) terminals 30 installed in the store's payment department, and a deposit terminal installed in the backyard of the store. It includes a server 50 which is a host device of the terminal 10 and the POS terminal 30. The deposit terminal 10, the POS terminal 30, and the server 50 are electrically connected to each other by a communication line L such as a LAN (Local Area Network). Therefore, each deposit terminal 10, each POS terminal 30, and server 50 can mutually transmit and receive information.

The deposit terminal 10 has a function of charging monetary value to a storage medium 70 that can be used at a store. Charging means electrically storing a monetary value in the storage medium 70. Charging also includes additionally storing a monetary value on the storage medium 70 that already stores a monetary value. The storage medium 70 is, for example, electronic money or an IC card that can be used at a store, and can electrically store monetary value therein. Monetary value is information that can be used in the same way as cash, which can be used to purchase products at a store or the like. Note that the medium may be a storage unit built into a portable terminal such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, or a mobile terminal. Further, the medium may be a magnetic medium other than the storage medium 70.

The deposit terminal 10 charges the storage medium 70 with monetary value. The storage medium 70 is connected to the deposit terminal 10. A connection includes an electrical connection that physically connects electrical contacts, and a contactless connection that allows information to be read or written in a non-contact state using, for example, NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. Note that if the medium is a magnetic medium, it is magnetically connected to the deposit terminal 10 .

When cash is inserted, the deposit terminal 10 charges the storage medium 70 with a monetary value corresponding to the inserted amount. For example, if the entered amount is equal to the inserted amount, the deposit terminal 10 charges the storage medium 70 with the monetary value of the entered amount (=inserted amount). Further, when the input amount is larger than the input amount, the deposit terminal 10 selectively charges the input amount or the input amount into the storage medium 70. Further, if the input amount is greater than the input amount, the deposit terminal 10 charges the storage medium 70 with the input amount.

At the POS terminal 30, a store clerk or the customer himself/herself performs sales registration and payment operations for the product to be purchased. When the POS terminal 30 performs a sales registration operation for reading a symbol such as a bar code attached to the product or information on a wireless tag for the product to be purchased, the POS terminal 30 executes sales registration processing for the product. Sales registration processing refers to processing that displays the product information (product name, price, etc.) of the product read out based on the product code obtained from the information read by the POS terminal 30, and also stores the product information. .

Further, when the clerk or the customer performs a payment operation, the POS terminal 30 executes the payment process. The payment process is a process of displaying the total amount of the transaction based on the product information stored in the sales registration process, and calculating and displaying change based on the deposit deposited by the customer. In the case of payment in cash, this includes processing for instructing the change machine to issue change. The payment process also includes the process of issuing a slip or receipt on which product information and payment information (total amount, deposited amount, amount of change, etc.) for which sales registration processing has been performed are printed.

The POS terminal 30 transmits the product code, product information, payment information, etc. of the product for which payment has been processed to the server 50 via the communication line L. Further, the POS terminal 30 transmits settlement information obtained by settling sales for a predetermined period (for example, one day) to the server 50 via the communication line L.

The server 50 centrally manages product codes, product information, payment information, settlement information, etc. received from each POS terminal 30. That is, the server 50 performs sales management and the like at one store. Further, the server 50 stores information about the customer who owns the storage medium 70 (customer name, customer address, telephone number, email address, etc.) in association with each medium code that individually identifies the storage medium 70. Note that the customer information may be stored in a head office server (not shown).

Next, the hardware configuration of the deposit terminal 10 will be explained. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the deposit terminal 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the deposit terminal 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a memory section 14, and the like.

The operation unit 21 includes a number key 211, an amount key 212, a confirmation key 213, a number selection key 214, and an input selection key 215. The numeric keys 211 include numeric keys from 0 to 9 that can individually input amounts in units of 1 yen, and by operating the numeric keys from 0 to 9, any desired amount can be entered individually. This is the key for The amount key 212 is a key for inputting amounts such as 1,000 yen, 3,000 yen, etc. with one touch. In the embodiment, five types of amount keys 212 are provided: a 1,000 yen key, a 2,000 yen key, a 3,000 yen key, a 5,000 yen key, and a 10,000 yen key. For example, when the 1000 yen key is operated, the numbers "1", "0", "0", and "0" are entered at once. The amount key 212 is different from the number key 211 because it is not a key for individually entering arbitrary amounts. The amount set by operating the number key 211 and/or the amount key 212 is the set amount. The confirmation key 213 is operated to confirm the amount entered using the number keys 211 and/or the amount keys 212. Note that the amount after the confirmation key 213 is operated is sometimes referred to as the set amount. The set number selection key 214 is operated when selecting to charge the set number amount. The input selection key 215 is operated when selecting to charge an amount input from the deposit/withdrawal unit 25 (described later) (hereinafter referred to as "input amount").

The RAM 13 includes a set amount section 131, a confirmed amount section 132, and an input amount section 133. The set amount amount section 131 stores the set amount amount that was set by operating the number key 211 and/or the amount key 212 before operating the confirmation key 213. For example, when the "1000 yen key" that is the amount key 212 is operated, and then the number keys "1" and "2" that are the number keys 211 are operated, the number amount section 131 will be set to "1012". ” is stored as a digit. The confirmed amount unit 132 stores the set amount at the time the confirm key 213 is operated. The input amount section 133 stores the input amount input from the deposit/withdrawal section 25.

The memory unit 14 is composed of a nonvolatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or a flash memory that retains stored information even when the power is turned off. The memory section 14 includes a control program section 141 and a point storage section 142. The control program section 141 stores a control program for controlling the deposit terminal 10. The point storage unit 142 stores the number of points awarded for each charging amount range. The point storage unit 142 will be described later with reference to FIG.

Further, the control unit 100 is connected to a display unit 22, a printing unit 23, a reader/writer 24, and a deposit/withdrawal unit 25 via a bus 15 and a controller 16. The display unit 22 displays information to the operator of the deposit terminal 10. The operation unit 21 is a touch panel provided on the display unit 22, and when a touch panel (key) at a position corresponding to an image of each key displayed on the display unit 22 is operated, the function of the key is performed. The printing unit 23 issues a receipt with the charged amount printed on it. The reader/writer 24 is electrically connected to the storage medium 70 and reads out the monetary value stored in the storage medium 70. Further, the reader/writer 24, which is a writing unit, is electrically connected to the storage medium 70 and writes the amount to be charged into the storage medium 70 as a monetary value. The deposit/withdrawal section 25, which is an input section, includes an input slot (not shown) into which cash such as coins or banknotes is inserted, and a return slot (not shown) through which cash is returned. The deposit/withdrawal unit 25 takes in and stores cash inserted into the slot according to instructions from the control unit 100. Further, the deposit/withdrawal unit 25 withdraws the cash to be returned to the return slot according to instructions from the control unit 100.

Further, the control section 100 is connected to the communication section 26 via the bus 15. The communication unit 26 is electrically connected via the communication line L to other deposit terminals 10, POS terminals 30, and servers 50 installed in the store. The communication unit 26 sends and receives information to and from the server 50 and the like.

Next, the point storage section 142 will be explained. FIG. 3 is a memory map showing the point storage section 142. The point storage unit 142 stores points to be given in association with the amount to be charged. As shown in FIG. 3, the point storage section 142 has a charge amount section 1421 and a charge point section 1422. The charge amount section 1421 stores the range of the amount to be charged. In the embodiment, the charge amount section 1421 is stored in four ranges: 0 yen to 1000 yen, 1001 yen to 2000 yen, 2001 yen to 5000 yen, and 5001 yen or more. Further, the charge point section 1422 stores 0 points as a charge point corresponding to the range of 0 yen to 1000 yen. Additionally, 100 points are stored as charge points corresponding to the range of 1001 yen to 2000 yen. Additionally, 300 points are stored as charge points corresponding to the range of 2001 yen to 5000 yen. Further, 500 points are stored as charge points corresponding to purchases of 5,000 yen or more.

That is, the point storage unit 142 does not give points when the charge amount is 0 yen to 1000 yen, gives 100 points when the charge amount is 1001 yen to 2000 yen, and gives 100 points when the charge amount is 2001 yen to 5000 yen. In this case, 300 points will be given, and if the charge amount is 5001 yen or more, 500 points will be given.

From here on, the functional configuration of the deposit terminal 10 will be explained in detail. FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the deposit terminal 10. The control section 100 operates as a comparison means 101, a selection display means 102, a selection means 103, a charge means 104, a return means 105, and an announcement means 106 by following the control program stored in the control program section 141 of the ROM 12 and the memory section 14. Function.

Comparison means 101 compares the entered amount and the input amount. Specifically, the comparing means 101 compares the input amount stored in the fixed amount section 132 with the input amount stored in the input amount section 133.

The selection display means 102 displays options for charging either the set amount or the inserted amount. Specifically, the selection display means 102 displays, on the display unit 22, a number selection key 214 for selecting the amount to be placed and an input selection key 215 for selecting the amount to be inserted. Further, the selection display means 102 displays an option for charging either the inserted amount or the inserted amount when the inserted amount is larger than the inserted amount. Specifically, when the input amount is greater than the input amount, the selection display means 102 displays the input selection key 214 for selecting the input amount and the input selection key 215 for selecting the input amount. .

The selection means 103 selects charging with the set amount or the input amount in response to the selection display of the selection display means 102. Specifically, the selection means 103 selects the charge amount corresponding to the operated key of the number selection key 214 and the input selection key 215.

The charging means 104 charges the connected storage medium with the monetary value of the entered amount when cash equal to or greater than the entered amount is inserted through an operation involving the entry key 211. Specifically, the charging means 104 charges the storage medium 70 from the reader/writer 24 with the monetary value corresponding to the set amount stored in the fixed amount section 132. Further, the charging means 104 charges the monetary value corresponding to the set amount selected by the selection means 103.

The return means 105 returns cash equivalent to the difference between the input amount and the set amount when the selection means 103 selects charging with the set amount. Specifically, when the selection means 103 selects charging with a predetermined amount, the return means 105 changes the predetermined amount stored in the fixed amount section 132 from the input amount stored in the input amount section 133. The difference in cash after subtracting the amount is withdrawn from the deposit/withdrawal section 25.

Announcer 106 announces the relationship between the set amount and the awarded points stored in point storage section 142. Specifically, when the set amount is stored in the set amount section 131, the announcing means 106 announces the association with the points related to the set amount stored in the point storage section 142. More specifically, the announcement means 106 announces that points for the next higher level will be awarded by adding a predetermined amount to the set amount stored in the set amount section 131. Make an announcement that includes the range of charge amounts. For example, if the numeral amount stored in the numeral amount section 131 is 1000 yen, the points awarded are currently 0 points, but the amount to be charged in order to be awarded 100 points at the next higher level is required. Announce the range (1001 yen to 2000 yen). In addition, the difference between the set amount stored in the set amount amount section 131 and the point required for the next higher level (for example, if the current set amount is 1000 yen, there is at least 1 yen remaining) It is a good idea to also announce a message indicating that if you add a certain amount, you will receive 100 yen worth of points.In this case, you can also add other amounts and points (300 points for charging between 2001 yen and 5000 yen, At the same time, an announcement may be made that 500 points will be awarded for charges of 5,000 yen or more.

From here on, control of the deposit terminal 10 will be explained. When charging the storage medium 70 with the monetary value of the amount, the operator of the deposit terminal 10 inserts the storage medium 70 into the reader/writer 24 and establishes a connection between the deposit terminal 10 and the storage medium 70 .
