Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a deposited money settlement device that settles cash, checks, etc. deposited appropriately at financial institutions such as banks, and particularly relates to a deposited money settlement device that settles cash, checks, etc. deposited appropriately at financial institutions such as banks. The present invention relates to an embodiment of a settlement device suitable for having common specifications even for a plurality of countries with different conditions.

[Conventional technology]

The above-mentioned deposited coin settlement device is usually installed in the teller's office of a financial institution such as a bank or securities company, and counts and aggregates the money by denomination when depositing appropriate money such as banknotes, coins, and checks. By doing so, the required payment processing can be accomplished. Incidentally, the banknotes, coins, checks, etc. that are settled in this way may be those deposited by the teller from the customer at a bank or other counter, or those prepared for withdrawal.
There are also a variety of things, such as things that diplomats (international relations staff) bring home for deposits etc. when they visit customers, and even sales proceeds from stores etc. that are deposited in night safes. ) and other non-cash items may also be included.

Incidentally, such devices generally include a display device for displaying various operational guidance and aggregated values during the payment process, as well as a printer for printing details and authentication regarding the aggregated values. Usually, the specifications of the monetary denomination and monetary unit price related to such guide displays and aggregate values are set in advance according to the language of a specific country, the same denomination, and its circulation unit, so the payment device can be used in these languages. If the product is used in another country with a different currency denomination, currency unit price, etc., the above-mentioned information display and aggregation shall be made in the language, currency denomination, and currency unit price that are in accordance with the actual circumstances of each country. Therefore, it is necessary to perform language conversion and denomination/unit price conversion as appropriate.

Here, conventionally, when configuring the same payment device with these other specifications, it is necessary to use a bill deposit machine or a coin deposit machine (to be collectively referred to as The coin deposit machine (referred to as a coin deposit machine) itself has its classification section and counting section machine #1η set according to the currency size of the target country, and has the above-mentioned display and printer, etc. Regarding the control station that is computer-controlled and executes aggregation processing based on the classification and counting data, the device itself is a common unit (14), which sets and registers information regarding the above language, currency denomination, and currency unit price. Only the memory and its processing program are targeted [14], and I try to make them individually according to the three words and currency.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By configuring a balance calculation device in this way, it is certainly possible to perform payment processing for a specific country in a manner that suits the language and currency of the country; however, this system lacks versatility in the first place. However, if the target country changes, or if the same payment device is exported to many different countries (assuming, of course, that the languages and currencies are different), the above-mentioned memory registration contents and program contents will have to be updated each time. There is the hassle of having to make changes to correspond to the language and currency of each applicable country. Also, to resolve these issues,
For multiple target countries, the language, currency type, etc.
One possible method would be to set and register multiple pieces of information related to monetary unit prices, etc. and programs related to the settlement process in parallel, so that any one of them can be selected as appropriate. As the memory for registration and storage increases, the processing program itself also becomes enormous in size, leading to a significant increase in cost. Moreover, even in this case, if coins are issued in the same target country such as the export destination, or if there is a denomination, etc.
It is not always an effective method as it requires changes to the relevant registration information and processing program each time.

Of course, changing such registration information and processing programs is not an easy task.

[Means and effects for solving the problem] In this invention, the denomination and circulation unit (unit price of money) of the money classified and counted by the above-mentioned money deposit machine, that is, the circulating money (currency) of each applicable country. can be arbitrarily set and registered through an operation panel or the like, and the program itself for payment processing at the control station can be used in common regardless of these denominations and unit prices. In other words, no matter what kind of currency it is, if the money denomination and unit are determined, the manner in which the data will be classified and counted by the money deposit machine will also be determined automatically, so the settings and registration described above will be determined. If each currency denomination and currency unit price and each of the above-mentioned classification count data are stored in the appropriate memory board/column, it will be possible to have a common form based on the same set circulation 1 dollar rank. The desired settlement process can now be achieved.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, payment processing can be accomplished by a common program regardless of the difference in currency, and a memory configuration etc. that is suitable for aggregating counting data by a money deposit machine can be achieved. can also be standardized. Therefore, even if the target country of the VT payment device changes or the same payment device is exported to many countries with different currencies, the control station itself, which is the core of the VT payment device, must not be modified in any way. There is no need to add.

Further, since the denomination and circulation unit of the currency can be arbitrarily set, even if new coins are issued or there is a denomination, etc., this can be easily handled.

It is assumed that the cursor moves sequentially in a manner such as 1-2 in the YJ (7) column, and that the above-mentioned unit price setting becomes possible for each item guided by the cursor.

The contents set in the initial set mode are as follows.
For example, it is registered in the denomination/unit price memory 102c (see FIG. 3) in the form shown in Table 2 below.

Table 2 In this Table 2, it is assumed that "Ao" is the aforementioned identification code indicating that "English" was selected in the previous language setting. For example, if "German" is selected, "Bo" is selected, and if "French" is selected, rc
Each different identification code is registered in a manner such as oJ... In the processing mode described later, these identification codes are combined with identification codes registered in advance in the banknote automatic input machine 200 and the coin automatic input machine 300 according to the target country (target currency) (this also applies to If the code is set as "Ao" for the specification, rBoJ for the German specification, rcoJ for the French specification, etc.), the appropriate input device is connected. This is used to check whether the Further, in this example, it is assumed that there is no other cash other than the one registered.

Next, the processing mode related to the actual deposit processing will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, prior to this deposit processing, the depositor, such as a sales representative, should:
The cash brought back by the user is put into the hopper parts 211 and 311 of the automatic banknote deposit machine 200 and the automatic coin deposit machine 300, respectively, separately for banknotes and coins. Note that for checks and banknotes and coins that cannot be recognized by the deposit machines 200 and 300 (banknotes and coins that are stained, torn, deformed, etc.), they must be placed in a separate envelope and manually entered into the cashier post 400. .

Thereafter, the processing proceeds in the following order.

(2) The depositor inputs his/her own identification code described above using the numeric keypad of the operation panel 103 or the magnetic card reader 500. Note that when inputting the identification code through the magnetic card reader 500, a magnetic card (on which the identification code of the person in question is magnetically registered) distributed to each person in charge of payment etc. in advance must be used. Just by inserting the card into a predetermined input port of the card reader 500, the code is automatically input. As a result, the control station 100 determines that the identification code has been entered manually (step 1010), and then searches whether the input identification code is a pre-registered code (step 1020). As a result, if the input identification code is unregistered, it will be detected as an incorrect code input.
An appropriate warning is issued to that effect via the display 104 or a buzzer (not shown) (step 102++).The above-mentioned pre-registered codes are all the registration codes for the appropriate depositors of the financial institution, and the Payments will not be made using any other identification code.

It is assumed that these codes are registered and stored in advance in an appropriate area (not shown) of the memory unit 102.

■ If it is determined that the deposit identification code is a correct registered code as a result of the above code search, the control station 100 then transfers the code to the memory unit 10.
A search is made to see if the input identification code is stored in the above-mentioned hold memory 102g of No. 2 (step 1030). As a result, if the input identification code is stored in the reservation memory 102g, the control station 100 stores the amount data (
The counting data) is transferred and stored in the aforementioned counting memory '102d of the same memory unit 102, and the data in the reservation memory 102g is cleared to stand by for the start of money counting. This is a process that will be carried out if the underworld has occurred at the time of the input payment last time for the input user.
The details will be explained later in the processing after step 1091.

■ As a result of the above search, if it is determined that the input identification code is not stored in the hold memory 102g, the control station 100 waits to start counting money with the counting memory 102d initialized. .

(2) When the depositor confirms that the manually entered identification code is normal, he then turns on the counting start button (not shown) of the automatic banknote deposit machine 200 and the automatic coin deposit machine 300. Thereby (step 1040) these deposit machines 200 and 300 start counting as described above (step 1050). These counted data are sequentially stored in the counting memory 102d.

If the data in the pending memory 102g has been transferred and stored in the counting memory 102d in advance in step 1031, the data based on the counting is added to this child stored data. Note that when counting by these deposit machines 200 and 300, the temporary holding section 213
When it is detected that the amount of paper or coins held in the bank 219 or 304 has reached a predetermined amount such as full, the control station 100 displays this on the CRT display 104 and also controls the counting of coins by these deposit machines. Stop once. At this time, based on this display, the person in charge presses the continuation key related to the deposit machine, that is, the banknote continuation key [CRNCY C
0NT, ] or coin continuation key [C0IN C0N
T,] will be operated. As a result, the control station 100 stores the currency (all denominations) that had been temporarily held until then in the respective safes, and transfers and stores the counting data up to that point into the total memory 102e. After clearing the contents, each deposit machine restarts the above counting.

Here, an example of the memory structure of this counting memory 102d will be explained.

This counting memory 102d is an area where an identification code related to the set language registered in the denomination/unit price memory 102C is stored, as shown in Table 3 below, and data regarding the set denomination and unit price is also stored. area where the above-mentioned identification code registered in advance on the deposit machine side according to the target country (target currency) is stored, and the storage area for the above denomination data, organized by each denomination. The area in which coded count data is stored is arranged in a table shape separately for banknotes and coins.

Table 3 Here, the contents of the columns referred to as the first area and the third area for convenience in this Table 3 are the registered contents of the memory 102C sent from the denomination/unit price memory 102c, and the contents of the 28th area
1! The contents of the columns designated as the i area and the fourth area are the contents sent from the automatic banknote deposit machine 200 and the automatic coin deposit machine 300, respectively (identification code AO1 pre-registered in the deposit machine itself).
(consisting of arrangement codes A1 to A7, A1 to A6 for each denomination, and count data for each denomination). In the control station 100, the identification code (Ao) stored in the first area and the second area is stored in the above-mentioned first area and the second area before the above-mentioned counting data is stored in the counting memory 102d.

AO) and the identification codes (A□', A□) stored in the third and fourth areas, respectively, and if these codes match, the control station and each deposit machine are properly connected. Suppose that it is determined that the connection is 0. After determining that it is appropriate in this way, it sends a refwest signal to each deposit machine, and then sends the above sorting code A1.
→A2...-A7, or A1→A2...→A6
Assume that the count data is stored sequentially in the order of . By the way,
The counting data is stored in the memory unit 202 or 302 of each deposit machine in the manner shown in Table 4 below.

Table 4 shows the memory unit 202 of the automatic banknote deposit machine 200. The memory unit 302 on the automatic coin deposit machine 300 side also corresponds to this.

Table 4 Now, in parallel with the counting of money by the deposit machine, the following processing is further carried out.

■ The depositor uses the corresponding keys on the operation panel 103 to input the total amount of cash and checks to be settled (this is based on the details on the deposit slip), and if there are checks, this information is displayed separately for this store and other stores. The number of bills, denomination, and, if there are banknotes or coins that cannot be identified and must be manually input as described above, the total amount of manually input, etc. are input (step 1060).

It is assumed that these manual input data are also temporarily stored in an appropriate area of the memory unit 102.

■ The manpower has completed the manpower of this amount, and
After confirming that the two-legged deposit machine has finished counting money, press the completion key [CO] on the operation panel 103.
MPLET I ON]. The control station 100 thus selects the completion key [COMPLETION].
When it is determined that has been operated (step 1070), next, the counting data by the above-mentioned deposit machine (the data stored in the counting memory 102d, and if the reserved coins are once stored in the safe as described above during the counting, l. - The total data of the data stored in the counting memory 102e and the data stored in the counting memory 102d) is A, and the amount data of the check input manually (
B is the amount of cash input manually (by manual input above), and 01 is the cash amount data input manually (by manual input above). If the total deposited amount data is D, a comparison check is made to see whether the equation A+B+C-D holds true, that is, whether there is any accumulation (step 1080).
. Please note that the completion key [COMPLETI
ON] operation may be performed following the above-mentioned amount data 1z several times manually. In this case, the control station 100 will control the completion! -[COMPLET 1 ON:
The above-mentioned accumulation check is executed under the conditions that both the operation of 1 and the completion of counting of the deposited coins by the money-making machine are satisfied.

(2) If it is determined that "accumulation is present" as a result of the check (step 1090), the control station 100 displays this on the CRT display 104 (step 1091). As a result, the person in charge recognizes that an accumulation has occurred for the payment, and operates the AC key [AC3] on the operation panel 103 to temporarily cancel the payment. When it is determined that the AC key [AC3 has been operated (step 1092), the control station 100
Next, the front door 220 and the temporary storage section 304 of the temporary storage sections 213 to 219 in each of the deposit machines 200 and 300 are opened, and the banknotes and coins temporarily stored therein are returned to the person in charge (step 1). 93) and the total memory 1 of the memory unit 102.
If there is data stored in 02e, that is, if there is money stored in the safe during the money counting, this amount data (counting data) is transferred to the holding memory 102g of the memory unit 102 along with the input identification code. Store (step 1094), )-tal memory 10
2e and the contents of the counting memory 102d, as well as each data entered through the operation panel 103 are cleared.

Here, an example of the memory structure of the reservation memory 102g will be described for reference.

In this reservation memory 102g, for example, as shown in Table 5 below, an area for storing the identification code and a corresponding area for storing the counting data for each denomination are actually arranged in a table. It has a built-in structure. Incidentally, since this reserved memory 102g is a memory that is used only when accumulation occurs and there is stored data in the total memory 102e at this time, such a storage area is also prepared for about 10 items. It is enough. In addition, the capacity of each of these areas is 4 bytes each for the identification code storage area, and 2 bytes for each denomination for the count data storage area, that is, the total capacity is 30 bytes x 10 items - 300 bytes.As mentioned above, If an accumulation occurs, the depositor shall take back the returned coins, investigate the cause, and then
The same deposit process as above will be repeated again, but if another person in charge is waiting to make the same payment, Akira will hand over the payment device to the person in charge who is waiting, and during this time, By investigating the cause, the device can be used more efficiently. Thereafter, when the person in charge who has been determined to have accumulated the amount mentioned above restarts the doujin all processing, if the identification code for the depositor is stored in the holding memory 102g, the counting data stored along with the identification code is stored. As described above, the data is transferred to the counting memory 102d, and the data counted by the depositing machines 200 and 300 is also added to this transferred counting data. Of course, in this case, the amount of money corresponding to the count data stored in the reservation memory 102g has already been stored in the safe. These functions are
This is particularly effective in making it easier to investigate the cause of accumulation when the amount deposited is large.

The above has described the processing mode when accumulation occurs in the payment, but if it is determined in step 1090 that there is no accumulation, the processing proceeds in the following manner.

■ As a result of the check, if it is determined that there is no accumulation (step 1090), the control station 100 uses the printer 105 to display the number of coins by denomination, amount, total amount, manual check amount, etc.
Print various data such as manual cash input (step 110)
0).

(1110) Furthermore, the control station 100 stores the banknotes and coins held in the temporary holding units 213 to 219 and 304 in the corresponding denomination safe (step 1110), and stores the data stored in the counting memory 102d in the total memory. 102e (step 1120), and at this time, if the total memory 1
If some counting data is pre-stored in the counting memory 102d (that is, if there are coins that have been stored in the safe due to the temporary storage section becoming full during the counting), this child memory data is stored in the counting memory 102d. The stored data are added and stored (step 1120), and the contents of this counting memory 102d are cleared.

[Phase] The count data thus stored in the total memory 102e is data indicating an accurate amount of money automatically stored in the safe, and is stored in the control station 1.
00, then the count data stored in the total memory 102e should be registered and stored in the main memory 102f together with the printed data and the identification code as the final settlement data for the currency to be settled. Step 1130), an appropriate certificate indicating that the payment has been successfully completed is printed out through an appropriate authentication printer (not shown) (Step 1140). Note that the contents of the total memory 102e are cleared when the stored data is registered in the main memory 102f.

Figures 10(a) and (b) show an example of how the settlement results are displayed, with Figure 10(a) showing an example of tabulation for banknotes, and Figure 10(b) for coins. Examples of aggregation are shown below. The denomination of the currency indicated by the cursor is displayed in [ ] in the upper column.

And the total column on the right side (A M, OU N T
) displays the total amount for each denomination, and further displays the grand total at the bottom. Of course, it is also possible to arbitrarily select and display individual payment data such as by person in charge.

■ If there are no checks or cash whose denomination cannot be identified by the deposit machine as described above, which are to be entered manually, one settlement is completed (step 1150); if there are checks or cash which are to be entered at the same time, These are the care cap posts 40.
The one settlement ends when it is put into 0 (
step 1160). It should be noted that whether these checks or cash are inserted into the mailbox 400 is detected by the sensor provided at the mailbox slot, as described above. Further, the above-mentioned deposit slip may be managed separately, but it is also easier to manage it if it is placed in an envelope together with checks and cash and inserted into the deposit card post 400.

The above processing is executed every time a deposit is made by the person in charge.

In addition, in the above example, for convenience, the identification code was explained as identifying the person in charge of payment, but in practical use, in addition to this, the same code may also be used to identify business partners or departments that have been arbitrarily classified in advance. It can also be made to be identified.

According to this, when - person in charge makes deposits for multiple business partners, or when they want more detailed settlement data, or conversely, when they want more general settlement data, etc. Deposit settlement can be realized in any form according to the actual situation.

Furthermore, in the above example, the total amount of money deposited on the slip is entered manually from the operation panel 103, but the amount or number of coins for each denomination is entered manually from the same operation panel 103, and the amount of money deposited on the slip is entered manually. Only the banknotes or coins temporarily held may be returned, and other denominations may be stored in a safe.

Furthermore, in the above example, it was assumed that the deposited coins to be settled were brought in by a sales representative, etc., but it is of course not limited to this. It is also possible to deposit and settle the sales proceeds of the bank, banknotes, coins, checks, etc. handled by the teller at the counter at the bank.
