BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a store cashier system in a store having a plurality of cash registers in which cash is automatically dispensed and paid to and from a cash drawer of the cash register.

In the retail industry such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and department stores, electronic cash registers and POS terminals have been introduced to analyze sales by operator, sales by time zone, sales by merchandise, etc. We are working to improve efficiency.

In such a retail business, since cash transactions are in principle, the operator of each cash register receives the change fund before the operation, stores it in the cash drawer of the cash register, and after the operation, Cash cash drawer sales need to be paid. In recent years, many of these operators are part-timers and part-time students, and their working hours are also various. Therefore, it is desirable to make efficient cash withdrawal and payment.

[0005]

2. Description of the Related Art Cash accounting and payments in supermarkets are carried out by the accounting manager in the following manner.
First, the cashier prepares the change fund for each cashier before opening the store and hands it to the cashier operator.

[0006] Next, when the sales proceeds are accumulated to some extent during business hours, the cashier collects cash from each cash register during business hours for crime prevention reasons, and by operating for a long time, a specific denomination If the change is insufficient, the cashier will replenish the change.

At this time, when collecting cash and replenishing change,
A management slip is required to understand the amount of money in and out. In addition, at the end of the day's work, the operator performs the reconciliation work in which the cash in the drawer is compared with the logical sales amount (aggregate amount) recorded in the register journal at the time of reimbursement. When a shortage occurs, check the journal etc. and clarify the cause.

[0008]

However, the prior art has the following problems. Every morning before opening the store, the cashier has to take out cash from the safe, prepare the change fund for each cash register, and hand it out to the operator. It also costs money.

[0009] Cash collection and change replenishment during business require the creation and management of management slips, which is time-consuming, especially at supermarkets, which often occur on Saturdays and Sundays, and the burden on the cashier is large.

At the time of settlement and payment, the operator needs to count the cash in the drawer, calculate the excess and deficiency, etc., which takes time, dislikes the part-timer, and causes an increase in personnel expenses.

At the end of working hours, payment is made, so if an excess or deficiency occurs, a huge amount of journals must be inspected to find out the cause, and if the amount of excess or deficiency is large, it is stolen. There is also a situation in which it is not possible to return home until the cause is investigated because of suspicion that the part-timer etc. is further disliked.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a store cashier system capable of reducing the labor of cash withdrawal and cash payment in a cash register and facilitating cash management.

The drawer 10 is set in the inlet of the drawer controller 87 while seeing the display of "Please set the drawer."

As a result, the drawer controller 87 detects the setting of the drawer 10, notifies the checker-based check / payment management control means 71 of the CPU 7, and starts the check / payment process. The display of the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is
Instead of displaying "Enter ID number.", The checker inputs his or her ID number (four-digit personal identification number) using the numeric keypad of the keyboard 80.

This ID number is notified to the checker-based payment / receipt management control means 71 of the CPU 7, and the checker-based payment / receipt management control means 71 determines whether it is the registered ID number or not and determines whether it can be used. If it is not a registered ID number,
The procedure ends without performing the cash processing.

If it is the registered ID number, the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is replaced by the checker by the mode key of the keyboard 80 instead of the display of "Please select the mode." Select payment.

Next, the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 displays "Passbook Set." Instead of the display, and the checker opens the passbook 5 and inserts it into the passbook printer 82 insertion slot. To do.

As a result, the passbook 5 is inhaled, the ID number of the magnetic stripe of the passbook 5 is read, and the checker-based cashier management control means 71 of the CPU 7 is notified, and the checker-based cashier management control means 71 is read. The number is compared with the above-mentioned input ID number, correspondence is made, and if they do not match, the passbook is returned.

If they match, the CPU 7 requests the checkered total (theoretical cash amount) of the ID number from the store processor 3b and receives it. In parallel with this, as shown in FIG. 6, the checker is made to pull out the lower cover 12 of the drawer 10 so that the cash in the drawer 10 can be used for the bill validator 8.
4a, the coin accepting unit 842 of the coin validator 84b is inserted, and the withdrawal of the lower cover 12 is detected to identify and count the cash.

At this time, uncountable cash is rejected from a reject exit not shown. The count value of each denomination is the checker-based cashier management control means 71 of the CPU 7.
Will be notified.

When there is a rejection, the checker packs the rejected cash into an envelope, puts it in the envelope storage 86, and inputs the amount of money from the keyboard 80. or,
When there is a cash voucher such as a gift certificate, the checker inserts the cash voucher packed in the envelope into the envelope storage device 86, and inputs the amount by the keyboard 80. This input amount is CPU7
The checker-based cash management management means 71 is notified.

The checker-based cashier management control means 71 of the CPU 7 stores the theoretical cash amount from the store processor 3b and the total cash amount (payment amount) calculated from the count values of the bill validator 84a and the coin validator 84b. Is calculated, and the date, time, payment amount (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash balance, and the incorrect amount are stored in the checker-based total area of the memory.

As shown in FIG. 7, the passbook printer 82 prints on the passbook 5 the date, time, amount paid (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash amount, and miscalculated amount. After that, the passbook 5 is discharged to the insertion slot.

This example shows an example in which there is no rejected amount, and there are cash (count) amount and non-current amount as the amount of payment, and the rejected amount is included in the incorrect amount. The display of the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is
Instead of displaying "Please receive passbook", the checker pulls out the passbook 5 from the insertion slot, whereby the drawer 10 of the drawer controller 87 is unlocked, and the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is released. The display replaces the display of "Please pull out the drawer.", And the checker pulls out the drawer 10 from the drawer controller 87, and ends the payment by detecting the pulling out.

The checker uses the entered passbook 5 to
After confirming the incorrect amount, if there is no incorrect amount, the drawer 10 is returned to the drawer storage 4, the passbook is given to the cashier, and a break is taken.

On the other hand, if there is a mistake, it is checked whether or not it matches the theoretical cash inventory amount of the inspection receipt, and if it does not match, the reason is notified to the cashier. (D) When the checker's break time has passed, prepare to restart and restart. Since this operation is the same as that of (A), description thereof will be omitted.

(E) Settlement is made when the checker starts working. This settlement operation is basically the same as the replacement operation. The only difference is that you can specify the settlement payment as a mode and the amount of payment per day (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash amount That is, the total of the unbalanced amounts is calculated and printed on the passbook 5.

That is, when the checker returns to the office, he unlocks the drawer 10, removes the lid, sorts out cash vouchers such as gift certificates, puts them in an envelope, goes to the automatic teller machine 2, and makes a settlement payment operation. Is performed according to FIG.

The checker sets the drawer 10 at the insertion opening of the drawer controller 87 while seeing the display "Please set the drawer" on the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2.

As a result, the drawer controller 87 detects the set of the drawer 10 and notifies the checker-based check / payment management control means 71 of the CPU 7 to start the check / payment process. The display of the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is
Instead of displaying "Enter ID number.", The checker inputs his / her ID number (four-digit personal identification number) into the numeric keypad of the keyboard 80.

This ID number is notified to the checker-based cashier management control means 71 of the CPU 7, and the checker-based cashier management control means 71 determines whether it is the registered ID number, and determines whether or not it can be used. If it is not the registered ID number, the process ends without performing the payment process.

If it is the registered ID number, the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 displays "Please select the mode" instead of the display, and the checker uses the mode key of the keyboard 80 to settle the payment. Select payment.

Next, the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 displays "Passbook set." Instead of the display, and the checker opens the passbook 5 and inserts it in the insertion port of the passbook printer 82. To do.

As a result, the passbook 5 is inhaled, the ID number of the magnetic stripe of the passbook 5 is read, and the checker-based cashier management control means 71 of the CPU 7 is notified, and the checker-based cashier management control means 71 is read. The number is compared with the above-mentioned input ID number, correspondence is made, and if they do not match, the passbook is returned.

If they match, the CPU 7 requests the checkered total (theoretical cash amount) of this ID number from the store processor 3b and receives it. In parallel with this, as shown in FIG. 6, the checker is made to pull out the lower cover 12 of the drawer 10 so that the cash in the drawer 10 can be dispensed.
4a, the coin accepting unit 842 of the coin validator 84b is inserted, and the withdrawal of the lower cover 12 is detected to identify and count the cash.

At this time, uncountable cash is rejected from a reject exit not shown. The count value of each denomination is the checker-based cashier management control means 71 of the CPU 7.
Will be notified.

When there is a reject, the checker packs the rejected cash in an envelope, puts it in the envelope storage 86, and inputs the amount of money from the keyboard 80. or,
If there is a non-cash ticket such as a gift certificate, the checker puts the non-cash ticket packed in the envelope into the envelope storage 86, and inputs the amount by the keyboard 80.

This input amount is notified to the checker-based check / payment management control means 71 of the CPU 7. The checker-based cash management management means 71 of the CPU 7 makes a difference between the theoretical cash amount from the store processor 3b and the total cash amount (payment amount) calculated from the count values of the bill validator 84a and the coin validator 84b (payment amount). Calculated as
The date, time, amount paid (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash amount, and miscalculated amount are stored in the checker-based total area of the memory, and then the checker of the checker in the memory-specific checker area is stored. The daily payout amount, paid amount, cash amount, and miscalculated amount are read out, and the sum of them is calculated and stored in the checker-based total area of the memory.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the passbook printer 82 displays the date, time, payment amount (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash amount, and miscalculated amount in the passbook 5.
After printing the total amount of payout amount, paid amount, cash amount, and unbalanced amount for one day, the passbook 5 is discharged to the insertion slot.

In this example, an example in which there is no reject amount is shown, and there are cash (count) amount and non-current amount as the amount of payment, and the reject amount is included in the incorrect amount. The display of the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is
Instead of displaying "Please receive passbook", the checker pulls out the passbook 5 from the insertion slot, whereby the drawer 10 of the drawer controller 87 is unlocked, and the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is released. The display replaces the display of "Please pull out the drawer.", And the checker pulls out the drawer 10 from the drawer controller 87, and ends the payment by detecting the pulling out.

The checker uses the entered passbook 5 to
After confirming the incorrect amount, if there is no incorrect amount, the drawer 10 is returned to the drawer storage 4, and the passbook is handed to the cashier. On the other hand, if there is a mistake, check whether the cash receipt theoretical amount on the inspection receipt matches, and if it does not match,

Further, when the POS terminal does not have the checker-specific total, the checker acquires the previous cash amount contained in the inspection information before starting the operation of the POS terminal,
After operating the POS terminal, the post cash amount included in the inspection information is acquired, and the previous cash amount and the post cash amount are input from the keyboard 80 of the automatic teller machine 2, and the checker-based cash management management means At 71, the front cash amount is subtracted from the rear cash amount to obtain the cash amount theoretical amount.

At the same time, the cash set in the cash slot is inserted into the cash accepting unit 842 of the bill validator 84a and the coin validator 84b to perform cash discrimination and counting.
At this time, the uncountable cash is rejected from a reject exit (not shown).

The count value of each denomination is notified to the checker-based balance management control means 71 of the CPU 7. When there is a rejection, the checker packs the rejected cash into an envelope, puts it in the envelope storage 86, and inputs the amount of money from the keyboard 80.

If there is a cash cash ticket such as a gift certificate, the checker puts the cash cash ticket packed in the envelope into the envelope storage device 86 and inputs the amount of money from the keyboard 80. This input amount is the checker-based cash management management means 71 of the CPU 7.
Will be notified.

The checker-based cash management control means 71 of the CPU 7 uses the above-mentioned cash inventory theoretical value and the bill validator 84.
a, Calculate the difference (called uncalculated) from the total cash amount (paid amount) calculated from the count value of the coin discriminating machine 84b, and date, time, and paid amount (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount) , Cash amount, and miscalculated amount are stored in the checker-based total area of the memory.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the passbook printer 82 prints the date, time, payment amount (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash amount, and miscalculated amount on the passbook 5. After that, the passbook 5 is discharged to the insertion slot.

In this example, an example in which there is no reject amount is shown, and there are cash (count) amount and non-current amount as the amount of payment, and the reject amount is included in the incorrect amount. The display of the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is
Instead of displaying “Please receive passbook”, the checker pulls out the passbook 5 from the insertion slot and ends the payment by detecting the pull-out.

The checker uses the entered passbook 5 to
Check the incorrect amount, and if there is no error, pass the passbook to the accountant and take a break. On the other hand, if there is a mistake, it is checked whether it matches the theoretical cash inventory amount on the inspection receipt, and if it does not match, the reason is notified to the cashier.

(D) When the checker's break time has passed, preparation for restart and restart are performed. Since this operation is the same as that of (A), description thereof will be omitted. (E) Settlement will be made when the checker starts working.

This settlement operation is basically the same as the replacement operation. The difference is that the settlement payment is designated as the mode, and the amount of payment per day (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount) cash This is to calculate the total amount of money spent and the amount of miscalculation and print it on the passbook 5.

That is, when the checker returns to the office, he takes out the sales money from the bag, sorts out the cash cash tickets such as gift certificates,
Fill the envelope, go to the automatic teller machine 2, and settle the payment operation.

[0176] If they match, the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 displays "Please set cash." Instead of the checker, and the checker
Set cash.

When the CPU 7 is connected to the store processor 3b, the CPU 7 requests and receives the checker-specific total (the cash inventory theoretical value) of this ID number. In addition, since it is not connected to the store processor 3b, if the cash amount theoretical amount cannot be obtained from the store processor 3b, the POS
When the terminal has a checkered total, the theoretical cash inventory amount of the inspection receipt is input from the keyboard 80 of the automatic teller machine 2.

Further, when the POS terminal does not have a checker-specific total, the checker acquires the previous cash amount contained in the inspection information before starting the operation of the POS terminal,
After operating the POS terminal, the post cash amount included in the inspection information is acquired, and the previous cash amount and the post cash amount are input from the keyboard 80 of the automatic teller machine 2, and the checker-based cash management management means At 71, the front cash amount is subtracted from the rear cash amount to obtain the cash amount theoretical amount.

At the same time, the cash set in the cash slot is inserted into the cash accepting unit 842 of the bill validator 84a and the coin validator 84b to perform cash discrimination and counting.
At this time, the uncountable cash is rejected from a reject exit (not shown).

The count value of each denomination is notified to the checker-based balance management control means 71 of the CPU 7. When there is a rejection, the checker packs the rejected cash into an envelope, puts it in the envelope storage 86, and inputs the amount of money from the keyboard 80.

If there is a cash cash ticket such as a gift certificate, the checker puts the cash cash ticket packed in the envelope into the envelope storage 86 and inputs the amount from the keyboard 80. This input amount is the checker-based cash management management means 71 of the CPU 7.
Will be notified.

The checker-based check / payment management control means 71 of the CPU 7 uses the above-mentioned theoretical cash inventory value and the bill validator 84.
a, Calculate the difference (called uncalculated) from the total cash amount (paid amount) calculated from the count value of the coin discriminating machine 84b, and date, time, and paid amount (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount) After storing the cash amount and the unbalanced amount in the checker-based total area of the memory, the daily checkout amount, paid amount, cash amount, and unbalanced amount of the checker in the checker-based total area of the memory are read out. Calculate the sum of and store it in the checkered total area of the memory.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the passbook printer 82 displays the date, time, payment amount (cash amount, non-cash amount, reject amount), cash amount, and miscalculated amount in the passbook 5. After printing the total amount of payout amount, paid amount, cash amount, and unbalanced amount for one day, the passbook 5 is discharged to the insertion slot.

In this example, an example in which there is no reject amount is shown, and there are cash (count) amount and non-current amount as the amount of payment, and the reject amount is included in the incorrect amount. The display of the guidance display 81a of the automatic teller machine 2 is
Instead of displaying “Please receive passbook”, the checker pulls out the passbook 5 from the insertion slot and ends the payment by detecting the pull-out.

The checker uses the entered passbook 5 to
Check the incorrect amount, and if there is no error, give the passbook to the accountant and return. On the other hand, if there is a mistake, check whether it matches the cash receipt theoretical amount on the inspection receipt, and if it does not match, create a report and submit it to the cashier.

(D) After the store is closed, the cashier designates the output of the total table of all stores from the keyboard 80 of the automatic teller machine 2.
As a result, the checker-based payment / receipt management control means 71 of the CPU 7 reads out the total payout amount, the paid amount, the cash amount, and the uncalculated amount of each checker in the checker-based total area of the memory, and the total payout amount b. And the total payment amount c and the change fund a at the time of opening the store, and the in-flight balance ab + c is calculated, and the denomination breakdown (1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen, 50 yen, 10
0 yen, 500 yen, 1,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 10,000 yen), the amount of cash outside is calculated.
