[Prior art]

Generally, large-scale stores such as supermarkets and department stores have many cash registers (hereinafter simply referred to as registers) installed inside the store.
The person in charge of each of these registers prepares change before the store opens, and during business hours, enters the items and amounts of products brought by customers to the register, hands over cash, and collects money on the way. In addition, after the store is closed, the cash register tallies and prints out the journal data and sales proceeds, and creates a bill collection table and daily sales report. In addition, as part of this accounting work, the cashier checks the sales collected from each register, the collection list, and the daily sales report, prepares the principal amount for change for the next day for each register, and collects the sales on the next day. Collect and deposit into the bank.

By the way, the number of customers using credit cards for shopping has been increasing recently. In this case, although there is no cash transfer as described above at the register,
Each of the above-mentioned persons in charge copies the embossed mark of the credit card onto a designated form and writes the price of the item on the same form. Also,
As part of the settlement work related to these credit cards, the teller organizes the copies of the above-mentioned forms once every six months, and requests a predetermined amount from each of the many credit card companies.

However, the above-mentioned checking work and paper sorting in each register and cashier operation are very troublesome and require a lot of time, and the time and workload involved in the money settlement are enormous.

Further, the above-mentioned money settlement operation is normally performed for each store, and in a company with many stores, the settlement operation must be repeated based on information for each store.

As described above, conventional money settlement operations have been extremely inefficient.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a money settlement processing device that verifies sales proceeds with various data and processes money settlement in credit card transactions with high efficiency and without error.

Here, the store controller 110 sequentially inputs each sales data of the register 150 as the above-mentioned POS system, creates sales data for each register based on the input sales data, and registers output from the currency sorting calculator 130. The control device 120 appropriately reads and controls counting data of separate sales proceeds and processing data of credit cards for each register outputted from the mark reader 140,
On the next day, finalized sales data transmitted from the processing center device 200, which will be described later, is input and printed.

The control device 120 sequentially inputs the counting data and credit card processing data outputted from the money sorting calculator 130 and the mark reader 140 without duplication and stores them as sales data by register, and also stores the stored sales data by register. The data is sent to the store controller as appropriate. Note that in this embodiment device, the control device 120
Floppy disk 1 as the final storage method
21 is used to store the above counting data on the floppy disk 121.

The currency sorting calculator 130 receives coins and banknotes and sorts them into denominations (10,000 yen bill, 5,000 yen bill, 1,000 yen bill, 500 yen bill, 100 yen coin, 50 yen coin, 10 yen coin, This system classifies the coins (yen coins and one yen coins), counts them, prints them in a journal, and sends the counted sales revenue counting data to the control device 120, although not shown in FIG. 1. Specifically, it is composed of a coin sorting computer and a banknote sorting computer. The money sorting computer 130 is equipped with an appropriate register number input device (not shown), and the person in charge of the register inputs the number of the register in charge using this input device to input the sales proceeds. As a result, the money sorting calculator 130 outputs sales count data for each register, and outputs sales count data for the total of all registers as appropriate.

When purchasing a product using a credit card, the mark reader 140 reads the credit company code of each credit card entered in a predetermined manner on the credit information mark card by the person in charge of the register.
It automatically reads identification codes such as customer codes, usage date data, and purchase amount data, and operates to send the read identification codes and various data, that is, credit card processing data, to the control device 120. do.

In addition, a coin wrapping machine 16 installed offline
0 is for wrapping the coins classified and counted by denomination by the money sorting calculator 130 to make a coin roll (50 coins wrapped), and the money changer 170
The night safe 180 dispenses the coins stocked at the time of making change by inserting the principal amount for change in advance.

The principal amount for change and replenishment coins for the next day, which are created and delivered at 0, are also stored.

Before explaining the processing center device 200, the configuration and operation of the store device 100, particularly the control device 120, described above will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

FIG. 2 shows an example of an operation key panel provided on the control device 120.

In Figure 2, TK1 and TK2 are numeric keys for inputting numerical data, RN1 and
RN2 is a register number entry key for instructing which cash register (not shown) the numerical data input to this money settlement device belongs to, and DNK1 and DNK2 are for instructing each coin type and each banknote type. This is the denomination key.

In addition, the above denomination key DNK1 is 10,000, 5,000, 1,000,
500 banknote denomination keys and 500 (new 500 yen coin),
It is composed of coin denomination keys of 100, 50, 10, 5, 1, and the denomination key DNK2 is 100, 50, 10, 5, 1.
It is composed of keys for each coin denomination.

The purpose of providing these denomination keys DNK1 and DNK2 will be explained.

The banknote denomination key of the denomination key DNK1 is provided to indicate which denomination the banknotes that could not be counted by the banknote sorting calculator described above (due to defacement, etc.) are. If the sorting calculator can automatically determine all denominations of banknotes, there is no need to use this banknote denomination key. For example, if you want to input the denomination and amount of a banknote without using the banknote sorting calculator, that is, when the number of banknotes is small, use this banknote denomination key to enter the denomination and amount data (numeric keypad TK1 or TK2).
). In addition, the coin denomination keys DNK1 and DNK2 are provided to indicate which denomination the coins to be counted are, and when performing normal coin sorting and counting using the coin sorting calculator. (The coin sorting calculator generates counting pulses for each coin denomination and automatically determines the coin denomination.) When you want to input the type and amount, such as when the number of coins is small or when entering coins packaged in units of 50, use this coin denomination key to enter the denomination and amount data. (Numeric keypad
(combined with TK1 or TK2).

FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the main parts of the control device 120 in a block diagram, and also shows the correspondence between the control device 120 and the coin sorting computer 131 and bill sorting computer 132 that constitute the money sorting computer 130. .

In other words, this control device 120 outputs the count data of the coin sorting calculator 131 or the banknote sorting calculator 132 to the CPU 123 according to various specifications from the operation key panel 122 (for the reasons mentioned above, the denomination may not be necessary). The CPU 123 appropriately stores the input counting data in the memory 124 and repeats the aggregation calculation, and sends the aggregation results to the printer 125 via the printer interface or to the display device 12 via the display interface.
6 for record printing or visual display.

The floppy disk 121 is a removable memory that stores the data compiled by the control device 120 (CPU 123) via the floppy interface, and as described above, this stored data is stored in the currency settlement device. is retained as sales data for retail stores equipped with It is also possible to input data to the control device 120 from the floppy disk 121.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control device 120 described above, and this operation will be explained in further detail with reference to the flowchart. The number at the beginning of each corresponds to the flow number shown in FIG.

[001] When the CPU 123 determines that the payment mode has been designated, it selects the payment mode program (FIG. 4 - however, the program memory is not shown in FIG. 3) and waits.

[110] When the operator inputs the number of the cash register to be settled (using the register number entry key RN1 and numeric keypad TK1), the CPU 123 judges this and automatically inputs the input register number. The register number registration flag is set to indicate that the register number has been registered.

If the register number is not input, return to mode specification confirmation.

[120] The CPU 123 determines whether the operator has re-inputted the number of the cash register to be settled, and if it has been re-inputted, sets the register number re-input flag. However, this re-input operation of the register number by the operator is performed when all coins and banknotes have been counted for one cash register, which will be explained below, and at this point the register number re-input flag is set. Not set.

[130] The CPU 123 determines whether the operator has specified a denomination (using the denomination key DNK1), and if an amount has been specified, sets the denomination flag. However, the denomination shall not be specified at this point.

[140] The CPU 123 determines whether the coin counting in the coin sorting computer 131 has started and then stopped (interrupted), and if the coin counting has been interrupted, sets a coin counting interruption flag. However, since the coin sorting computer 131 has not started at this point, the coin counting interruption flag is also not set.

[150] The CPU 123 determines whether the coin sorting computer 131 has started or not, and if it has started, sets a coin counting start flag. However, since the coin sorting computer 131 has not started at this point, the coin counting start flag is not set.

[151] The CPU 123 starts the coin sorting calculator 131 via the bus line BL and the money handling machine interface, and sets the coin counting start flag.

As is clear from the steps up to this point, when the operator inputs the register number, the control device 120 automatically starts the coin sorting computer 131.

Here, when the operator inserts the coins to be counted into the hopper of the coin sorting calculator 131, the coin sorting calculator 131 automatically sorts the inserted coins by denomination and counts the coins for each denomination. Generates a pulse.

[160] The CPU 123 determines whether or not the above coin counting pulse is generated, and if this counting pulse is 1
One count flag is set each time a count flag is generated.

[161] The CPU 123 adds one to the contents of the buffer memory (included in the CPU 123) for coins of the denomination based on the counting flag set above (counting routine).

When the sorting and counting of coins is completed in this way, the coin sorting computer 131 automatically stops.

[140] The CPU 123 is the coin sorting calculator 13 mentioned above.
1 has interrupted the operation, and sets the coin counting interruption flag.

When the counting of coins for one cash register is completed, the operator next performs an operation to count banknotes for the same cash register. That is, the banknotes to be counted are inserted into the slot of the banknote sorting computer 132.

[130] The CPU 123 is a banknote sorting calculator 132
It is determined that a banknote has been inserted into the machine and that a start command has been input.

[170] The CPU 123 determines whether counting of banknotes in the banknote sorting calculator 132 has started and then stopped (interrupted), and if the counting of banknotes has been interrupted, sets a banknote counting interruption flag. However, since the banknote sorting computer 132 has not started at this point, the banknote counting interruption flag is also not set.

The control device 12 counts banknotes based on the same program as the program related to coin counting described above.

Now, when the banknote sorting calculator 132 is started, it generates a banknote counting pulse every time it counts one of the loaded banknotes.

[180] The CPU 123 determines whether or not the bill counting pulse is generated, and determines whether or not the bill counting pulse is 1.
One count flag is set each time a count flag is generated.

[181] The CPU 123 adds one value to the contents of the buffer memory for the banknotes of the denomination based on the counting flag set above (counting routine).

When the counting of banknotes of the relevant denomination is completed in this manner, the banknote sorting calculator 132 automatically stops.

[170] The CPU 123 is the banknote sorting calculator 13 mentioned above.
2, the operation is judged to have been interrupted, and a banknote counting interruption flag is set.

[171] The operator uses the denomination key for CPU123.
Cancel the denomination information specified earlier in DNK1.
In other words, the previously set denomination flag is reset.

[172] The CPU 123 cancels the judgment to suspend banknote counting made in [170]. That is, the set banknote counting interruption flag is reset.

These [171] and [172] cause the CPU 123 to stand by in order to count the banknotes to be inserted next.

Regarding the counting of banknotes, the above-described operations are repeated for a predetermined number of denominations.

When the coin and banknote settlement process for one cash register is thus completed, the operator inputs the register number of the cash register again using the register number entry key RN1 and the numeric keypad TK1.

[120] The CPU 123 determines that the register number has been re-input, sets the register number re-input flag, and also stores the re-input register number and determines whether it matches the previously input register number. Determine whether or not.

[121] If the above-mentioned two register numbers match, the coin and bill settlement data stored in the buffer memory of the CPU 123 is combined with the total data of the relevant cash register stored in the memory 124, and the total data of each cash register stored in the memory 124. The data is added to the total data, total data by denomination, total total data, etc., and the various total data thus added are sent to the printer 125 and the display 126.
record and display it visually as appropriate.

[122] The CPU 123 previously made the register number registration judgment in [110], the register number re-input judgment in [120], and the coin counting interruption judgment in [140].
That is, all judgments pending at this point are canceled (the register number registration flag, register number re-input flag, and coin counting interruption flag are reset).

With the above steps, all cash settlement processing for one cash register is completed.

Furthermore, when the operator turns on the card key CK (see Figure 2) to perform payment processing for credit cards and inserts the aforementioned credit information mark card into the mark reader 140, [190] CPU 123 determines that the card key CK is turned on and waits to perform aggregation calculations regarding the credit cards.

[191] The CPU 123 totals the billing amount for each credit card based on the company code, customer code, date of use data, and purchase amount data of each credit card read by the mark reader 140, and records the billed amount on the statement. The information is also printed out from the printer 225.

Execute the process.

Note that in the operation flow of the control device 120 described above, the CPU 123 sets (or resets) the above flag to increase its own decision-making speed, but it is not possible to make accurate decisions based on information from surrounding devices. It is not necessary to use the above flags as long as the above flags are used.

Next, referring again to FIG. 1, the processing center device 200 will be described. Processing center device 2
00 includes a transmitting/receiving controller 210, a data processing device 220, one or more currency sorting calculators 230, and one or more data display devices 240 connected online, and one or more banknote calculators 250 arranged offline. composed of
The transmission/reception controller 210 is connected online to each store controller 110 located at each store.

That is, the transmission/reception controller 210 inputs the sales data (money data and credit card data are distinguished) of the total of all registers for each store transmitted from the store controller 110 of each store, and sends the data to the data processing device 220. Send to,
The next day, the final sales data compiled by the data processing device 220 is sent to the store controller 11 of each store.
Transmit to 0.

The data processing device 220 stores the sales data added from the transmission/reception controller 210 in a RAM.
221, and if necessary, the stored sales proceeds data is read out and displayed on the data display 240, or printed out using the printer 222. Also, the next day, the currency sorting calculator 2
It processes the count data input from 30 and sends the count data to the transmission/reception controller 210 as final sales data.

The money sorting calculator 230 is installed in the night safe 1 of each store.
The sales proceeds collected from each store 80 are sorted by denomination and counted, and this counting data is input to the data processing device 220 and stored in the RAM 221. Note that the stored store-by-store sales data is displayed on the data display 240 or printed out by the printer 222 as necessary.

The data display device 240 is equipped with a display device such as a CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor, and displays the total sales data by store through online transmission and the night safe 1 offline.
80 and the total sales data by store counted by the money sorting calculator 230 are visually displayed as appropriate, so that the two sales data can be compared and checked. Further, the data display device 240 visually displays the credit card processing data described above as appropriate, and it is also possible to perform a comparison check with the credit information mark card and the copy paper of the credit card collected from the night safe 180 of each store. . Of course, these display data may be printed out through the printer 222.

In addition, there is a banknote calculator 25 installed online.
0 is used when counting cash notes or dividing banknotes (for example, counting every 100 banknotes of the same denomination, and repeating the above counting each time the counted banknote is removed). This is the calculator used.

5A and 5B are flowcharts showing a money settlement processing method using the above-described embodiment money settlement processing device, and hereinafter, the overall operation of the embodiment device will be explained with reference to the flowchart. . Note that FIG. 5A is a flowchart related to each store device 100, and FIG. 5B is a flowchart related to the processing center device 200.

First, the work flow at each store will be explained.

The teller must use the night safe at 180 at the start of the store.
The principal for change is taken out from (1010), and the principal for change is given to each register person (1020). Note that the principal for change is delivered from the processing center and stored in the night safe 180 before the start of business. next,
Each cashier in charge exchanges the received change principal into the required denomination of coins using the exchange machine 170 (1030), stores them as change coins in the register in charge, and waits for customers to come to the store. . Normally, the 10,000 yen and 5,000 yen bills are exchanged into coins, and the 1,000 yen and 500 yen bills are stored in the register along with the coins as change bills. After the store opens, the staff registers the products brought by customers. When purchasing a product using a credit card, the cashier receives the credit card from the customer, mechanically copies the embossed part of the card to create a copy of the credit card, and writes the amount on it. Furthermore, the person in charge of the register marks the company code of the credit card, the customer code, the current date data, and the amount data on the credit information mark card, and then instructs the register 150 to make a credit purchase by inputting a predetermined key. to enter the product type, amount, total amount, etc. These input data are stored in the floppy disk 121 mentioned above (1035). Further, during the opening of the store, the person in charge of collecting the money visits each register as appropriate and collects the sales proceeds (1040). The sales proceeds collected on the way are deposited into the money sorting computer 130 for each register by the person in charge of collection. However, the flowchart in FIG. 5A omits the work flow related to this deposit, and if the money is deposited into the money sorting computer 130, the sales proceeds will be stored in the money sorting computer 130 as described below. In addition to being distributed and stored by denomination in safe deposit boxes,
The counting data of the currency sorting computer 130 is printed on a journal, further inputted to the control device 120 and stored on the floppy disk 121. When the store closes, each register person collects the sales proceeds from the register in charge (1050) and deposits the collected sales proceeds into the money sorting computer 130. As mentioned above, the register number in charge is also input at the same time. As a result, the money sorting computer 130 starts counting the deposited sales proceeds by denomination (1060) and prints them on the journal (1070). Here, the money sorting computer 130 divides the counted sales proceeds by denomination into a safe built into the computer, and outputs counting data to the control device 120. The control device 120 inputs this counting data (1061), and transfers the input counting data to the floppy disk 121 by register number.
(1062) In addition, if the proceeds from the interim collection were also deposited into the money sorting computer 130, the previously stored counting data of the proceeds from the interim collection and the counting data input after the store was closed were added. In addition, the cashier will be responsible for the following if the proceeds include a credit information mark card.
The mark card is input into the mark reader 140 (1080). Thereby, the mark reader 140 outputs the identification code and various credit card data marked on the card to the control device 120 and prints them on the journal (1090). The control device 120 inputs this as described above (1061) and stores it in the floppy disk 121 (1062). The journal on which the sales proceeds data and credit card data are printed are submitted by each register person to the teller (1100), and the teller appropriately uses the submitted journal as confirmation material. file.
The teller also wraps the coins among the coins sorted and counted by the currency sorting calculator 130 in the coin wrapping machine 160 (1110), and stores them in the night safe 180 along with the banknotes, credit information mark card, and credit card copy paper (1110). 1120). A predetermined amount (corresponding to the principal amount for change) of the coin bars obtained by packaging the coins is stored in the exchange machine 170 as coins for change for the next day (1130).

Next, the work flow at the processing center will be explained.

The person in charge of the processing center collects sales proceeds, credit information mark cards, and credit card copies from the night safe 180 of each store at night (at least before the store opens the next day) (2010), and also collects the sales proceeds, credit information mark card, and credit card copy paper for the next day. The principal amount for change is stored in the same night safe 180 (2020), and the money brought back to the processing center, the mark card, and copy paper are appropriately sorted for each store (2030). Next, the data checker inputs an arbitrary store number using an appropriate store number input device (not shown), and the data processing device 220 determines this.
The sales data of the total of all registers stored in the floppy disk 121 of the store (counting data by currency denomination and credit card processing data are clearly distinguished) is sent to the store controller 110 and the transmission/reception controller 210. Read and input via . The input sales data is then stored in the RAM 221 and displayed on the data display 240 (2040). Here, the person in charge of data checking selects the mark card or copy paper of the store where the number has been entered and the credit card copy paper displayed on the data display 240 from among the credit information mark cards or credit card copy paper classified by store. Processing data (displayed by credit card company and store)
Compare with (2050). Furthermore, the person in charge of data checking causes the currency sorting computer 230 to classify and count the collected coins of the store among the collected coins classified by store (2060). Thereby, the data processing device 220 inputs the counting data of the currency sorting computer 230 (2061) and stores it in the RAM 221, and also displays the counting data on the data display device 240 (2062), so that the data check is performed. The person in charge can compare and check the displayed counting data of collected coins and the displayed sales data of the store (2063). In this way, when all the sales proceeds of one store are calculated and collated, the data processing device 220 sends the information to the store controller 11 of the store by the appropriate operation of the person in charge.
Confirmed sales data is sent to 0 (2064).
Note that the above-mentioned checking operations (2040) to (2064) are repeated for each store. By the way, among the currencies classified and counted by the currency sorting calculator 230, banknotes are appropriately extracted as the principal amount for the next day's change, and are further classified by store and register (2070) to be used for the next collection of sales proceeds. It will be delivered to each store at the same time. In addition, the remaining money is deposited into the bank as appropriate (2080). In addition,
The above-mentioned credit card copy paper is divided by credit card company, and is printed out on a half-monthly basis as billing materials along with a half-monthly settlement data table (sales data by credit company stored in RAM 221 printed out by printer 222). It will be sent to each credit card company once.

In addition, instead of using the payment data table above, you may connect the processing center or each store with the credit card company online and have the data sent directly to the credit card company for billing. In this case, the credit card copy will be sent separately. It will be done.

Alternatively, the information may be stored on a floppy disk and sent to the credit card company along with the credit card copy.

Furthermore, stores that do not have a processing center,
If it is a small store, each store may bill the credit card company.

In addition, each store obtains the finalized sales data transmitted from the processing center device 200 on the next day, and the person in charge at each store adds the obtained finalized sales data to the sales data in the register 150 obtained by the POS system. Report to accounting along with.

In addition, in the work flow on the store side mentioned above,
Of the sales coins, only the amount corresponding to the principal amount for change is stored in the money exchange machine 170, but all the coins may be stored in the money change machine 170 for use as change. In this case, the person in charge of collection at the processing center collects only the cash notes and banknotes, and the money sorting calculator 230 only needs to classify and count the banknotes. Therefore, more effective payment processing can be performed.

Furthermore, in the embodiment device described above, the control device 120
and storage means and RAM of the data processing device 220
121 and 221 are used, but it goes without saying that storage means such as core memory, magnetic tape, paper tape, or floppy disk may also be used.
However, when using a floppy disk, the floppy disk magnetically recorded by the control device 120 of each store is collected together with the sales proceeds to a processing center, and the floppy disk is inserted into the data processing device 220. The sales data of the store will be read.
