Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a money dispensing device used for preparing change and the like.

Generally, in supermarkets and department stores, each sales floor is equipped with a cash register, and sales are settled every day, so change of a certain denomination and amount is prepared every morning. To prepare this change, the previous day, after sorting the sales proceeds from the previous four days, each cash register counts each denomination and packs them into bags.On the morning of the day, each cashier takes the money bag to the money management office. This is done by going to pick it up, receiving it and stamping the receipt on the ledger.

1. When the cashier runs out of change, the cashier goes to the accounting staff to exchange money. However, this method of preparing change is labor-intensive, frequent, and error-prone. Therefore, it would be extremely convenient if the preparation of change could be automated. As part of mechanization, there is a method of using money exchange machines used at banks, etc., but since these machines count the amount of denominations deposited and the amount of denominations withdrawn, Although it is possible to create a list of deposit denominations and a list of withdrawal denominations, there was no way to input the data for the initial amount prepared and the amount replenished in the middle, so a list of each denomination currently in this exchange machine and a list of each denomination can be created. It is not possible to check or print the total amount, that is, the deposit amount, so the final deposit amount is based on the initial amount prepared, the amount replenished, the amount deposited, the amount withdrawn, and the amount collected. It had to be calculated manually.

In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a money dispensing device in which it is easy to confirm the current denomination and amount of money in the device, that is, the amount held.

In order to achieve the above objects, the money dispensing device of the present invention further adds replenishment and collection functions to the conventional money dispensing device, and includes means for inputting the denomination and quantity of money deposited and withdrawn by replenishment and collection. In addition, by providing a storage area for deposited amounts, withdrawn amounts, and deposited amounts, these amounts, denominations, and quantities can be outputted at any time according to commands from the operating section.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied as a change preparation device.

The change preparation device shown in FIG. 1 also has the function of a money exchange machine. In FIG. 1, a coin discrimination device 1 receives a coin, discriminates its type, and sends a discrimination signal to a CPU 5 in a control circuit 2. The coin discrimination device 1 also serves as a coin discharging device. The bill discriminating device 4 discriminates the type of bill received from the bill receiving machine 5 and sends a discrimination signal to the CPU 3. A banknote dispensing machine 6 receives a command from the HCPU5 and discharges a predetermined amount of banknotes. The cylindrical coin dispenser 7 also receives a command from the CPU 3 and sends out a predetermined cylindrical coin (one coin; 5° coin). Card reader 8 reads card 1 from the input card.

This key button is also an illuminated key button. The denomination button group 251ri consists of a 5,000-note button, a 1,000-note button, a 100-piece button, a 50-piece button, etc., and each denomination button is an illuminated button that corresponds to the display on the balance display section 21. Selectable denomination buttons are illuminated. The money type button group 23 includes a password input designation button. The quantity button group 24 is used in combination with the denomination button group 23, and like the denomination button group 23, it is an illuminated push button key. When one of the denomination buttons lit up in response to the display on the balance display section 21 is pressed, selectable quantity buttons in the quantity button group 24 are lit up. For example, if the 1,000-note button in the denomination button group 26 is pressed to display a balance of 5,000 yen, the 5 button in the quantity button group 24 is lit. Function key button group 25KFi includes a batch correction button, staff # button, and □ balance optional button.

FIG. 4 shows the memory arrangement of the deposit amount, withdrawal amount, and deposit amount in the memory 9. The deposit amount is the amount of cash inserted for currency exchange, and the withdrawal amount is the amount of cash paid from the money dispensing device at the time of general currency exchange or card withdrawal. In addition, the deposit amount indicates the total amount of cash currently in the cash dispensing device.

(Amount insured) = (Amount initially prepared) + (Amount supplemented) +
It is shown as (amount deposited) - (amount withdrawn) - (amount collected). The deposit amount memory further has memory areas m1 to m11 for storing denominations and quantities of each denomination,
Memory areas with the same pattern are set for other withdrawal amounts and deposit amounts.

This money dispensing device has a rear operation section as shown in Figure 3 for presetting the bulk dispensing mode and validating the card, so use this rear operation section to input data for each amount at the time of starting and refilling. By doing so, the insurance amount can be automatically calculated at the end of the day. This rear operation section is provided separately from the front operation section so that general customers and cashiers cannot use it.

Next, the case of replenishing or collecting change according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 will be described. In Figure 5, O...

Then, this device operates according to the following steps. Referring to FIG. 6, mode keys 51 &
Check whether it is replenishment or not from C, and if it is not replenishment, further check whether it is collection or not. If it is neither replenishment nor collection, pressing the quantity button is determined to be an erroneous operation and the operation ends. For replenishment or collection, after reading the quantity using the numeric keypad 52, search the specified denomination area from the deposit amount memory area,
Next, the mode key 31 again determines whether or not it is replenishment, and if it is replenishment, the replenishment quantity is added to the denomination area of the deposit amount,
If it is not a replenishment, it is a collection, so subtract the collection quantity from the denomination area, print the replenishment 1 collection, denomination, quantity, denomination, quantity, total amount, etc. of the deposit amount, and end the operation. do.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for intermediate aggregation and settlement. When the operator moves the mode key 31 to the X or Z position and presses the finish/start button of the function key group 53, the device operates according to the following procedure. First, it is determined whether the mode key 31 is set to X or not.
Determine whether or not.

If the remote key 31 is neither X nor Z, pressing the finish/start button is determined to be an erroneous operation, and the operation ends. If it is X or Z, print the contents of the deposit amount area, withdrawal amount area, and deposit amount area, then check whether the mode key 31 is set to If it is Z, it is a settlement, so the deposit amount, withdrawal amount, and deposit amount areas are all cleared and the operation ends.

In this money dispensing device, when the mode key 31 is set to the dispensing position, the dispensing operation can be performed at the rear operation section. Further, when the mode key 51 is set to the normal position, money can be dispensed from the front operation section.

The operation when discharging money by operating the front operation section will be described below with reference to the flow shown in FIG. 8. In addition, in this example device, by the card, by the input from the staff member, or by the currency exchange function,
Since it is possible to release money, each case will be explained.

First, when an attendant or operator uses a card, when the card is inserted into the card reader 8, step (
Card reading is performed at 82 (hereinafter simply referred to as 8T),
5TB5 determines whether the card is owned by the store. If it is not the own store's card, the process moves to 8T90 and an error alarm is issued. 5T85
When it is determined that the card is the own store's card, 5T84 searches the code read from the card and the clerk's memory record, confirms that the corresponding clerk's card is registered, and checks S.
At T85, it is determined whether or not there is registration. 5T9 if not registered
0 and issues an error alarm. 8T if registered
Moving to B6, it is determined whether the same staff member has already performed bulk discharge on the same day, that is, whether Pn is Oo, based on the discharge pattern storage area Pn corresponding to the registered rot storage area. Already storage area P. is 1. ．． If so, it is determined that the bulk discharge has already been carried out, and the process moves to ST90, where a factory alarm is issued. If Pn is "0.", it is determined that the bulk release has not been performed yet, and the process moves to 8T87.8
At T87, the "Password Power" is turned on, and at ST8B, the password entered is read.

Then, it is determined whether the password entered at 5T89 is correct. If it is not correct, the process moves to 5T90 and an error alarm is issued. If the entered PIN is correct, ST91
, and display the maximum amount given to that clerk in the deposit display section 20.
Further, at 5T92, the display contents of the deposit display section 20 are transferred to the balance display section 21 and displayed. and 5T93
Bulk release hotane group 22 that can be selected within the range of the remaining amount,
The denomination designation button group 26 is turned on. The clerk sees this lighting condition and presses either the batch release button group 22 or the denomination designation button group 26, and the machine reads this with the 5T95. If the batch release button is pressed, the corresponding batch release pattern is read out using 5T96, and the ST
At step 97, the designated denomination is ejected from the banknote ejector 6, cylinder coin ejector 7, etc., and the receipt 1. Perform journal printing. Then, in 8T98, it is determined whether or not cash was accepted at the start. Judgment NO when using a card
Then, the process moves to 8T99, and the release pattern storage area P corresponding to the corresponding staff member is displayed. After setting "1n," move to 5T201.

At 8T95, if the batch release button group 22 has not been pressed, the process moves to 8T109, and it is determined whether any of the denomination button groups 23 has been pressed. If the denomination button is pressed, the process moves to 5T110, and the buttons of the selectable quantity button group 24 are lit according to the denomination button pressed based on the remaining amount. Seeing this lighting situation, the staff member presses the quantity button, but
The machine 11-ISTll reads this, and the 5T112 calculates the remaining amount - denomination x quantity, and displays the remaining amount.

Next, in vcST113, it is determined whether the remaining amount=0. If the remaining amount is 0, the process moves to 5T971C, and the designated amount is discharged from each money dispensing machine, and a receipt and a journal are printed.

And at the start of 5T98, the judgment on whether to accept cash is NO and 5T
99, the payout amount is stored in the discharge pattern storage area Pn corresponding to the corresponding attendant waste. If the remaining amount is ~0 at 8T113, the process moves to 5T114, and the denomination buttons that can still be selected within the remaining amount are lit. The machine reads the 5T115 when the clerk presses the denomination button etc. after seeing this lighting condition, and the 5T1
It is determined whether the button pressed in step 16 is the optional balance button. If it is not a balance optional button, the process moves to 5T109, determines whether the pressed button is a denomination button, and then 5T
From 109 to 8T113, the same processing operations as in the previous case proceed. If the optional balance button is pressed in 5T116, the process moves to 5T117. The optional balance button indicates that the change for the remaining balance can be released in any denomination, so in 5T117, possible release patterns are calculated within the remaining balance, and in 5T118, the remaining amount display is set to 0, and in ST97
Then, the same processing as described above is performed at 5T97, ST9B, and 5T99. 'Instead of the card, money can also be released by the clerk inputting the clerk Δ6 into the machine at a certain time.

This is useful because you can easily get change without using a card when preparing change every morning. Note that even if the mode switching key 31 shown in FIG. 6 is set to the release mode, the same operation as described above can be obtained.

When the staff member inputs the staff number from the numeric keypad 24, 5T10
The machine reads this at 0, and at ST1'01 it is determined whether the mode key is set to 1 and the release mode is set. In the case of release mode, or even if it is not release mode, as a result of the determination in 5T102, if it is within a predetermined time period, the staff member name inputted in 5T103 is collated and searched with the staff member registration name stored in the storage area, If it is determined in 5T104 that there is a staff registration, then in ST105 the release pattern storage area Pn corresponding to the corresponding staff registration attribute storage area is set to 0. ．． Determine whether If it is I[]n, from ST91, the same processing as when accepted by card is performed. If 5T102 is outside the specified time period, the staff member/16 entered in STMO4
is not registered, STMO5 sets the release/ξ turn storage area Pn to 0. ．． If not, the process moves to 8T90 and an error alarm is issued.

When preparing change by exchanging money, accept bills and coins at 5T106, and display the deposit display section 1'07K at 5T107.
Display the deposit amount. Next, the clerk enters his or her own clerk's information, which is read by the machine and displayed on the deposit display section 2 at 5T92.
The deposited amount displayed as 0 is also displayed on the balance display section 21. Thereafter, the process proceeds in the same way as when using a card or when using the attendant release mode, and the desired change can be obtained. Of course, even in the case of currency exchange, it is possible to dispense money using a bulk button or a combination of a denomination button and a quantity button. In case of currency exchange.

After the designated denomination is released at 5T97, the decision as to whether to accept cash at the start at 5T9B is 1d YES, and the process moves to ST2[11 without passing through 5T99. In 5T201 to 204, when there is a deposit in the above withdrawal or exchange operation, the denomination and quantity are added to the deposit amount area and the deposit amount area, and when there is a withdrawal, it is added to the withdrawal amount area and The amount is subtracted from the insurance amount area and the operation ends.

As described above, according to the money dispensing device of the present invention, the current cash deposit amount is always stored in the deposit amount area of the memory area by denomination, and this content cannot be displayed or printed. This makes it possible to easily check the amount held in the money dispensing device, making it easier to manage cash. Furthermore, the rear operation section is used for the various operations described above, so there is no special cost increase for this function.
