It is a cash communication unit that controls communication with.

In the system configuration described above, the flow of processing until the clerk issues the reserved seat ticket requested by the passenger and the settlement with the passenger is completed will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. When the clerk inputs (100) from the keyboard 3 the items required for ticketing such as the passenger's desired boarding / alighting station, date and time, and train, the terminal control unit 9 edits the reservation request information into a request message and sends it to the host. The host reserves a designated seat based on the reservation request information, and responds to the reservation ticket issuing terminal 1 with a reply message such as the reserved train, seat, section, and sale amount. Next, after storing the sale time, the number of issued tickets, the ticket type, and the sale price in the operation content storage file 7 (101), as shown in FIG.
The ticket issuing printer 4 performs ticket issuing processing (102) for the reserved seat ticket. For example, when the sale price is 3600 yen and one 10,000 yen ticket is received from the passenger as a price, the staff member will handle the cash processing machine 1
Set a 10,000 yen ticket to the banknote deposit / withdrawal slot of 2 (YES at 103)
Then, the 10,000-yen ticket is taken into the banknote processing machine 13 for discrimination /
It is counted and reported to the reservation ticket issuing terminal 1 as the number of deposited coins = 10,000 yen ticket × 1 (104). The amount-of-money management file 8 of the reservation ticket issuing terminal 1 is a file for storing the amount of money stored in the cash processing machine 12, and when 10 coins of each coin (16,660 yen in total) are registered, one million yen ticket x 1 1 million yen ticket by deposit
As shown in FIG. 4, one piece and 10 pieces of other currencies (total 26660 yen) are overwritten and registered as the cash amount in the cash processing machine 12 (10
5) Do. Further, the deposit time and the number of deposits are recorded in the operation content storage file 7 as shown in A of FIG. 5 (106).
I will do it. Next, the change amount calculation unit 10 deposits 10,000
-Calculate the sales amount of 3600, and calculate the change of 6400 yen (1

A yen withdrawal command is transmitted, and the banknote processing machine 13 withdraws 5,000 yen ticket x 1, 1,000 yen ticket x 1, and the coin processor 14 withdraws 100 yen coins x 4 (108). ) Do. As a result, the change of 6400 yen is withdrawn to the withdrawal port of the cash processing machine 12. After the withdrawal, the inventory count management file 8 is triggered by the withdrawal normal end report transmitted from the cash processor 12.
Update the amount of money stored in
09), and the withdrawal time in the operation content storage file 7,
The number of dispensed money is recorded (110) as shown in A of FIG. Therefore, when the ticket is released and the work of the clerk at the time of settlement with the passenger is only to set the price from the passenger in the cash inlet of the cash processing machine 12, calculation of the amount of change and change required previously. / Removal work is unnecessary and money stress can be greatly reduced.

[0008] Next, the cash payment machine 12 pays the price paid by the passenger.
The operation of withdrawing the change before depositing into the account and then depositing the change will be described below. The above is the same as the above until the ticket issuing process (102) is performed, and when the passenger receives one ten thousand ticket as the price next time, the attendant inputs the received amount of 10,000 yen from the keyboard 3 (YES at 111). Then, the change calculation unit 10 calculates the received amount 10,000-the sale amount 3,600 to calculate the change 6,400 yen (10
7) Then, for the cash processor 12, change of 6,400
Send a yen withdrawal command, and withdraw money command from the banknote processing machine 13 5,000 yen × 1, 1,000 yen tickets × 1, coin processing machine 14 100 yen × 4 (108) To do. As a result, the change of 6,400 yen is withdrawn to the withdrawal port of the cash processing machine 12. After the withdrawal, the withdrawal normality report transmitted from the cash processing machine 12 is used as an opportunity to subtract the withdrawn amount from the withdrawn amount stored in the withdrawn amount management file 8 to update (109), and further operate. The dispensing time and the number of dispensed money are recorded in the content storage file 7 as shown in FIG. The price of 10,000 yen entered by key entry has not been received (112: N
O) Therefore, when the clerk sets a 10,000-yen ticket in the banknote deposit port of the cash processing machine 12 (YES at 113), the 10,000-yen ticket is taken into the banknote processing machine 13, and the number of deposited coins is counted and discriminated and counted. It is reported (104) to the reservation ticket issuing terminal as x1. Next, similarly to the above, the money amount of the money amount management file 8 is updated (105), and the deposit time and the deposit amount are recorded (106) in the operation content storage file 7. Here, if the key input amount is 10,000 yen and the count result in step 104 is not 10,000 yen, for example, 1,000 yen (NO at 114) due to the misunderstanding of the staff, the key input amount is actually 5 is recorded (115) in the operation content storage file 7 to the effect that an excess or deficiency of the deposit amount of −9000 yen has occurred. Also, when the next transaction operation is performed in the reservation ticket issuing terminal 1 without depositing any money (YES in 116), the excess or deficiency is similarly recorded in the operation content storage file 7. Therefore, when the ticket is released and the clerk's work at the time of payment with the passenger is to confirm the price from the passenger and enter the key, the change / calculation work of the change, which was required in the past, is unnecessary, and money stress is eliminated. It can be greatly reduced. The point different from the above method is that the counting of the amount of money performed by the cash processing machine 12 is substituted by the key input of an attendant, whereby the time for counting the amount of money is omitted, and the passenger waiting time from the receipt of the money to the withdrawal of change. Can be shortened. At that time, the excess and deficiency of the key input amount and the actual price becomes a problem, but when the excess or deficiency occurs, a record is kept in the operation content storage file 7 to facilitate the investigation of the cause of the cash excess or deficiency at the time of tightening. To do.

As described above, the operation content storage file 7 in the reservation ticket issuing terminal 1 records the history when a ticket is issued and a deposit / withdrawal occurs. The stored contents can be displayed on the display 2 or printed on the journal printer 5 by operating the keyboard 3. As a result, it is possible to search past sales data (release date and time, number of tickets issued, release amount, etc.) and the relevant settlement data (deposit time, number of tickets, etc.) using the date and time as a key. It is effective for investigating the cause of.

As described above, the amount-in-money management file 8 in the reservation ticket issuing terminal 1 adds or subtracts the amount in each deposit / withdrawal every time a deposit / withdrawal occurs, and records the amount of money stored in the cash processor 12. . The stored contents can be displayed on the display 2 or printed on the journal printer 5 by operating the keyboard 3. Thereby, the cash processing machine 1
Since the number of coins stored in 2 can be confirmed immediately, it is possible to greatly reduce the settlement time and labor because the manual billing of money, which has been indispensable in the past, becomes unnecessary at the end of business or the transfer of personnel. Although not described in this embodiment, conventionally, at the end of work, POS information such as the amount of money to be prepared, sales, and the amount of money in the final currency was keyed into a sales management terminal (not shown). By connecting the sales management terminal and the reservation ticket issuing terminal and transmitting the POS information online, accurate information can be promptly reported to the sales management terminal.

[0011]

According to the present invention, an online reservation ticket issuing terminal issues a ticket as a product, and at the time of payment with a passenger, a clerk sets the price paid by the passenger in the deposit port of the cash processor. Only then, the amount of money can be counted and the change can be withdrawn automatically, and the money stress can be greatly reduced. Also,
Since all the cash is stored in the cash processing machine, there is no need to consider cash management, so the mental burden can be reduced. In addition, each transaction handled by the cash processing machine can be acquired in the operation content storage file, and the time of occurrence and the number of coins deposited and withdrawn can be searched. It is valid. In addition, since the number of coins stored in the cash processing machine is recorded in the number-of-money management file and can be confirmed immediately, the end of work or the handing over of personnel, which was conventionally required for handing over personnel, etc., becomes unnecessary, The settlement time and labor can be greatly reduced.
