Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic register that opens a drawer according to time periods.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, electronic registers are equipped with a drawer for storing money, etc., and this drawer is opened when a closing key such as a cash deposit key is operated to exchange money.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, with conventional systems, if you perform a predetermined registration operation during a time when the drawer is not in use (after closing or if there are multiple drawers, an unused drawer is determined), the drawer can be opened and the cash, etc. inside the drawer can be released. There was a drawback that it was possible to make illegal withdrawals and commit fraud.

The reason for this is that there is only one drawer, and the drawer can be opened at any time by performing a specified operation. This is because there are multiple operators who can operate the system, making it unclear who committed the fraud.

Generally, operators are rotated by the hour, so if you can store and manage cash etc. for each time period and obtain time period data showing the amount, you can compare the two above. Since the operator who committed the fraud can be identified, fraud can be prevented.

An object of the present invention is to enable storage and management of handled cash, etc. by time zone, and to obtain management data indicating the amount of money.

[Means to solve the problem]

The means of this invention are as follows.

A clock circuit (clock circuit 6, etc.) that measures the current time, a plurality of drawers (drawer section 9, etc.), and a time zone storage means (switching time zone memory M) that stores the time zone in which each of the plurality of drawers is used. (time _M1t to _M4t , etc.), time zone data storage means for storing sales data for each time zone in which each drawer is used (time zone total of time zone memory M _M1d to _M4d , etc.), registration processing. detecting means (CPU 5 and
Steps S ₆ , ₁₀ , ₁₄ , _{18 ,} etc.) processed by this CPU 5), cumulative control means (CPU 5 and step S processed by this CPU 5) that accumulates the input data into the corresponding time zone data storage means ₃₆ , ₄₁ , ₄₆ ,
_50, etc.), an opening control means (CPU 5 and steps S _{33 , 38} processed by this CPU 5) that opens one of the plurality of drawers based on the detection result of the detection means when a specific input is _made . , ₄₃ , ₄₇ , etc.).

Note that the words in brackets are added for reference in order to clarify how the above-mentioned means are embodied in the embodiments.

[Effect]

The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

The clock circuit measures the current time, the time period storage means stores the time period in which each of the plurality of drawers storing money, etc. is used, and the time period data storage means stores sales data for each time period. remembered.

After the registration process, the detection means detects in which time zone the deadline time is in the time zone storage means, and according to the detection result of the detection means, the opening control means selects one of the plurality of time slots. At the same time as the drawer is driven and opened, the amount data input, for example, to the corresponding time zone data storage means is accumulated by the accumulation control means.

Therefore, handled cash, etc. can be stored and managed by time period, and management data indicating the amount can be obtained.

After executing each of the steps S ₈ , S ₁₂ , S ₁₆ and S ₂₀ , the process moves to step S ₂₁ . In executing step _S21 , the designated responsible person code of the responsible person switch 8 is read out and transferred to the X register. Next, the process moves to step _S22 , where the code of the designated person in charge in the X register and the code of the person in charge who can use the drawer stored in the _Y register are compared. If so, proceed to step _S23 . In executing step _S23 ,
An error is notified by a buzzer to prohibit registration by the designated person in charge of the person in charge switch 8, and then the process returns to step _S1 .

Figure 5 shows the operation of the registration end key, which is operated at the end of registration for one customer, such as the cash/deposit key, loan sales key, credit sales key, etc., in either "registration" or "return" mode. This figure shows the flow. First, in executing step _S31 , the total cash sales for one customer is determined and transferred to the Z register. Next, the process moves to step _S32 , where it is determined whether "1" is stored in the flag area F. If it is determined to be YES, the process moves to step _S33 . In the execution of step _S33 , a drawer opening signal is output from the control section 12 via line ₁ , so that the solenoid provided in the drawer ₁₆₁ is set and the drawer ₁₆₁ is opened.
Next, the process moves to step _S34 , and the time zone total _M1d stored in the storage area _M1 of the RAM 7 is
Transferred to register. Next, the process moves to step _S35 , where the time zone total _M1d in the X register is added to the sales total in the Z register, and the result of this addition is stored in the X register. Next, the process moves to step _S36 , where the contents of the X register are written into the storage area _M1 as a new time zone total _M1d .

In step _S32 , "1" is set in the flag area F.
If it is determined that the information is not stored, the process moves to step _S37 . In step _S37 , flag area F
A determination is made as to whether or not "2" is stored in the drawer 162. If the determination is YES, step _S38 is executed to open the drawer ₁₆₂ , and then steps _S39 to S39 are executed.
As a result of S ₄₁ being executed sequentially, the storage area of RAM7
The total sales of the Z register are accumulated as the time zone total _M2d of _M2 .

In the step _S37 , "2" is written in the flag area F.
If it is determined that the
Move on to S ₄₂ . In step _S42 , it is determined whether "3" is stored in the flag area F.
If it is determined to be YES, step _S43 is executed to open the drawer ₁₆₃ , and then steps _S44 to _S46 are executed.
As a result, the total sales of the Z register are accumulated in the storage area _M3 of the RAM 7 in the time zone total _M3d .

In step _S42 , "3" is written in the flag area F.
If it is determined that the information is not stored, step _S47 is executed to open the drawer ₁₆₄ , and then steps _S48 to _S50 are sequentially executed.
The total sales of the Z register are accumulated in the time zone total _M4d of the storage area _M4 of the RAM 7.

For example, if the registration operation is performed during the time period when the current time is _M1t to _M2t , the drawer ₁₆₂ will be opened each time the end key is operated during this time, so money management during this time period will be ₂ , and the other drawers 16 ₁ , 16 ₃ , and 16 ₄ are not used. Furthermore, the sales amount registered during this period is accumulated in the storage area _M2 . Furthermore, when the designated person in charge of the person in charge switch 8 changes due to a change in the person in charge, it is automatically checked whether the person in charge can be registered in the current time period.

In the above embodiment, the time at which the drawer is switched is stored in the time zone memory M as a designation means for specifying opening of the drawer for each time zone. Alternatively, the clock circuit 6 may not be provided, but a timer may be provided to switch the drawer to be used at predetermined intervals.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the person responsible for performing the registration operation was checked in each time period, but the person in charge may be checked regardless of the time period.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, handled cash and the like can be stored and managed in different drawers for different time periods, and management data showing the amount of money can be obtained. Therefore, even if fraud occurs, it becomes possible to identify the operator who committed the fraud by comparing the cash etc. stored and managed for each time period with the corresponding management data such as amounts. It is possible to prevent fraud such as illegally withdrawing money from the drawer.
