Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transaction data input device that can be connected to an automatic cash dispensing machine connected to a plurality of automatic cash dispensing machines with different denominations loaded at the time of loading funds. The present invention relates to an input control method that allows the specification of denominations and the input of the number of coins for each denomination.

(2) Prior Art and Problems Recently, for example, the system shown in FIG. 1 has been used as a transaction information processing method in transaction terminals that conduct direct transactions with customers such as financial institutions. That is, a terminal controller (T/C) 1 is provided, and terminals 3 ₁ , 3 ₂ for deposits, exchanges, etc. are connected via adapters 2 ₁ , 2 _{2 ,} respectively, and the adapter 2 ₃
A so-called online teller's machine (OTM) 4, which is a counter transaction data input device for use by an attendant who performs counter teller operations, is connected in an interlocking manner with a password verification machine 5 for password verification.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a conventional processing procedure.

The customer presents the OTM clerk with a slip in which the account number, account details such as current, ordinary, deposit/withdrawal, amount, etc. are entered in the OTM4, and the clerk enters the account number, account, etc. into OTM4 from this slip. The customer is guided to input the card, the PIN is read and recorded by inserting the card, the customer is then guided to input the PIN using the numeric keypad, and the OTM 4 checks this against the recorded PIN of the card to ensure that it matches. For example, a staff member inputs amount data into the OTM 4, then updates the file in the center's processing device online as input is complete, and sends the result back. Accordingly, in the case of withdrawal, the OTM 4 staff member pays cash in the required denomination and number of bills, coins, etc. from the cash box on hand. Note that when the user is authenticated using a seal, password verification is omitted.

In addition, in recent years, OTM4 is a terminal that involves cash management, and it is connected and linked to this as a means of holding cash at the time of cash payment, and it pays cash equivalent to specified amount data by denomination. Automatic cash dispenser AC6 is also used.
Depending on the denomination loaded into this type of AC6, there are two denominations (10,000 yen, 1,000 yen) and 3 denominations (10,000 yen, 5,000, 1,000 yen).
For 4 denominations (10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 1,000 yen, 500 yen),
There are types for coins (100, 50, 10, 1), etc., and these gold types are not necessarily attached to each OTM 4, but the actual situation is that they are connected to each OTM 4 in an appropriate combination. . On the other hand, since the automatic teller machine 6 releases cash for each transaction, it must be replenished as appropriate. However, simply loading cash into the automatic teller machine 6 does not require the actual number of cash of each denomination held by the AC6. This means that the contents of the OTM4 fund counter do not match. Therefore, the contents of the money counter must be changed at the same time as loading cash into the AC6. The content of this fund counter is changed by using the denomination breakdown key and numeric keypad for specifying the denomination and number of coins at the time of cash payment. For example, when loading five 10,000 yen bills into AC6,
Select "10,000 yen" from the denomination breakdown key, enter "5" from the numeric keypad, and press the completion key.

However, as mentioned above, AC6 is rarely connected to OTM4 so that payments can be made for all denominations, so the denominations that can be loaded are limited, and therefore the amount of money that can be loaded is limited. The fact that the species breakdown key is also determined by the type of connected AC6 improves the efficiency of the loading operation.

(3) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to enable error-free designation of denominations and input of the number of coins for each denomination when loading funds into a transaction data input device that can be connected to a plurality of automatic cash dispensers of different denominations. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an input control method that can be used.

(4) Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the input control method of the automatic cash dispensing machine of the present invention is applicable to multiple types of automatic cash dispensing machines (hereinafter abbreviated as AC) with different denominations loaded.
6 is connected and has at least a denomination breakdown key 1

It is characterized by:

(5) Embodiment of the invention FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the invention.

In the same figure, the output register 16 of the OTM 4 on the left side of the broken line is connected to the automatic cash dispenser 6 on the right side, for example, a 4-denomination bill automatic dispenser 21 and a coin dispenser 2.
2 are connected.

Of the configurations of the OTM 4, the transaction department has the usual configuration, in which an employee uses the keyboard KB11 to enter amount data according to transaction information from the customer, and the withdrawal amount is processed through the control section 12 according to the denomination type. register 1
It is stored in 3. This content is sent to the calculator 14, where it is automatically distributed, ie, calculated based on the smallest number of coins and the combination of denominations that can be paid out.

The results are displayed on the display 15, and
This is stored in the output register 16 which indicates the number of coins to be released from the AC 6 for each denomination.

On the other hand, the configuration of the fund data loading section is AC
A fund register 19 in which the cash loaded by denomination in 6 is set as fund data of the number of coins corresponding to the denomination, the amount released is subtracted for each transaction, and the current amount is shown by denomination.
will be established. The data in this fund register 19 is
The control unit 12 uses the denomination breakdown key 17 connected to the keyboard 11 to input cash into the AC6.
is added when the predetermined loaded denomination and number of coins are input through the OR circuit 18, and is added for each transaction.
It is subtracted from AC6 when the denomination and number of coins released are received.

In the present invention, this denomination breakdown key 1 at the time of loading funds
In order to avoid pressing the input key incorrectly in 7, first check the type of AC6 connected before entering the key. The type of AC 6 is confirmed by the automatic teller machine connection state detection circuit 31 connected to the control section 12. In other words, the detection circuit 31 detects the automatic banknote dispensing machine 2 in synchronization with power-on of the OTM 4, etc.

(for denominations, for 3 denominations, for 4 denominations, and for 5 denominations in the case of coins) is included in the response signal, so the control unit 1
2. A table as shown in the table is created according to the presence or absence and type of the response signal. That is, in the table, the mark ◯ makes the pressing of the denomination breakdown key valid, and the cross mark makes the pressing of the denomination breakdown key invalid.

Therefore, assuming that a banknote automatic teller machine 21 for two denominations is currently connected, when the operator presses the "10,000 yen" key or the "1,000 yen" key, that press will be validated, and the numeric keypad will be activated. The contents of the "10,000" or "1,000" counter of the accepted funds counter 19 are changed together with the information on the number of coins inputted by the operator. On the other hand, "5,000 yen" or "500 yen"
When a key is pressed, the press is invalid, and the contents of the fund counter are not changed by the number of coins information input from the numeric keypad. Note that whether the denomination is valid or invalid may be indicated by a lamp on the corresponding key of the denomination breakdown key.

(6) Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, when loading funds into a transaction data input device to which multiple types of automatic cash dispensing machines can be connected, an inquiry signal is issued and whether or not the automatic cash dispensing machine responds is determined. By selecting the denomination breakdown keys that can be entered and rejecting the other keys by generating an error signal, it is possible to input keys without making mistakes in correspondence with the connected automatic cash dispensing machine.
