On the side selling these cards, it was necessary to manage sales, inventory, etc.

Therefore, conventionally, when selling cards, the cards to be sold are taken out from among the cards that are divided into multiple sections and stored on a shelf, and the taken out cards are placed in a counting machine and counted. After counting and confirming the cards by hand, they take out only the required number and sell them. After the sale is over, they count the remaining number of cards for each type, record the results in a management table, and return the cards to their original locations. Cards were managed by putting them back on the shelf.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the past, this management was not automated and was all done manually, so mistakes were likely to occur during sorting work, and it was difficult to grasp the management status of many types of magnetic cards. It was time consuming.

The present invention is characterized by comprising: a number calculation means (57) for updating the number of cards;

[Function] To explain the effect of the embroidery suggestion, a plurality of cards C are stored by type in the shelf 10a of the card storage #110 inside the device.

The correspondence between the type of card C and each column 10a is stored in the card type/shelf number correspondence storage means 54.

Then, each management mode (storing, dispensing, #1 wholesale φ group) is set by the mode setting means 52, the number of cards to be processed is set by the number setting means 51, and the type of card C is specified by the card type specifying means B. By doing so, it is possible to process a certain type of card C in each management mode.

In addition, by specifying the card type specifying means B, or directly during inventory, the card storage number is specified by the card storage number specifying means B.
The information in the card type/shelf number correspondence storage means is read out, and the shelf position of the card C to be processed can be automatically detected.

Next, during card processing, the type of card C is read by the barcode reading means A, the type determining means 55 detects an erroneous card, and the number counting means 56 counts the number of cards processed.

The number of processed cards is counted by the number calculation means 57 and stored in the number of cards storage means 58, and the number of cards processed previously is stored in the number of cards storage means 58 for each card type. Therefore, the number calculation means 57 counts the number of new cards to be processed against the number of cards stored in the shelf 10a, and always counts the number of cards to be processed in each column 1.
The number of cards in 0a is updated and stored so that they match. Regarding this update, in the storage mode, the number of processed new cards is added to the number of stored cards, and in the payout mode, the number of processed new cards is subtracted from the number of stored cards.
