The present invention relates to a method for effectively replenishing or retrieving money in a currency exchanger and a recording medium storing a program for implementing the same. More specifically, in replenishing or retrieving money in a money exchanger that is not equipped with a counting device for bills and coins, as a means for replenishing or retrieving a pre-counted amount of money and inputting the changes to the money exchanger. A predetermined interface screen for performing each step such as "enter accountant mode, select refill / recovery mode, select a class to replenish / recover, enter quantity to replenish / recover, calculate remaining amount after replenishment / recovery, and return to trading mode" It is characterized by providing.

In general, when a currency of a particular kind is used up in a currency exchanger, an error message indicating that the currency cannot be exchanged is displayed on the monitor screen, or only the corresponding currency part is deactivated in the list of exchangeable species. Afterwards, a problem is raised by the customer or periodically checked by a bank clerk to find the problem and replenish the currency of the corresponding kind. In the case of recovering money from a money exchanger, the recovery work is done by periodic checks by bank clerks.

However, in the conventional currency exchanger, a separate banknote and coin counting device was not provided and only a bill or a coin storage unit of a certain kind of paper was emptied by a specific sensor. The total quantity after replenishment could be determined only by counting the quantity left in the payment first, and then adding the prepared quantities, and since there was no way to store the total quantity in the currency exchanger, record it separately in a book. There was a hassle to put.

In the case of recovering money, if only part of the quantity remaining in the storage part is recovered, the cashier directly counts and recovers the desired amount, and stores the remaining amount in the currency exchanger as in the case of exchange of money. There was no way to do it, so there was no hassle to write separately.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, a means for inputting the number and volume of replenishment / recovery in replenishing / recovering money in the currency exchanger and a means for calculating and storing the remaining amount after replenishment / recovery Its purpose is to provide.

The method for replenishing and retrieving money according to the present invention for achieving the above object includes a first step of switching to a cashier mode for providing a currency exchanger management function in a money exchanger having a currency storing unit for each kind; Or a second step of selecting any one of the collection modes, a third step of calculating and storing a current balance in a memory when the replenishment or recovery of money is completed, and a fourth step of switching to a customer mode for providing a currency exchange service. Characterized in that made.                     

In this case, when the currency replenishment mode is selected in the second stage, after the second stage, the second to first stages of selection of the denomination of the currency to be replenished, and the second to receive the quantity to replenish the selected denomination Step 2-2 and step 2-2 to repeat the step 2-1 to step 2-2 if there is another volume to be supplemented may be further included.

In this case, when the currency recovery mode is selected in the second step, after the second step, steps 2-1 in which a kind of currency to be recovered is selected, and step 2-1 in which the quantity to be recovered for the selected kind is input. Step 2-2 and step 2-2 to repeat the step 2-1 to step 2-2 if there are other winding species to be recovered may be further included.

Here, before the step 2-1, further comprising the step of receiving the money storage unit object to be recovered as one of the payment unit or withdrawal unit, further comprising the steps 2-1 to the You will run steps 2-3.

In addition, after the step of selecting the object to be collected money retrieval step, the step of receiving a recovery range may be further selected as either a partial number or a total number of times, if the partial number is selected in the case of the selected money storage unit If steps 2-1 to 2-3 are executed and the total number of times is selected, steps 2-1 to 2-3 are omitted.

If the money replenishment mode is selected in the second step, the remaining amount calculation in the third step is performed through a formula of “remaining amount = existing quantity + replenishment quantity”. The remaining amount calculation in step 3 is made through the formula "Remaining amount = existing quantity-recovered quantity".                     

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of replenishing money in a money exchanger according to the present invention.

The currency exchanger is equipped with a "customer mode" for providing a currency exchange service to a customer and a "meter mode" for providing a bank clerk with various functions for maintenance of the exchange. Such a "customer mode / employee mode" is a mode name set to symbolically represent the above two functions, and it will be apparent to those skilled in the art to express corresponding functions under different names. In addition, there may be another mode for providing various settings or functions, but the present invention will be described with focus on the two modes.

The bank clerk will take action to replenish the currency in the currency exchanger as the customer raises a question such as the exchange of a certain kind of exchange money and cannot receive it properly or the predetermined management time arrives.

First, since the currency exchanger is currently operating in the customer mode, to switch it to the cashier mode, press a mode switching button provided at the mother of the currency exchanger or click the mode switching menu provided on the interface currently being displayed. (S101). In this case, an interface for asking for a password may be provided to confirm that the administrator is a legitimate administrator, so that the user can switch to the "meter mode" only when the input password matches the preset password.                     

In the cashier mode, various functions or modes for maintaining the money exchanger are provided. In the present invention, in particular, since the money replenishment mode and the recovery mode are planned, the cashier enters the process for replenishment by selecting a dual replenishment mode. (S103).

Subsequently, an interface screen for selecting a kind of currency to be replenished through the display device is provided (S105). Here, the denomination of money can be referred to as a kind of money for whether the currency is a bill or a coin, or which amount of money is the bill or coin. That is, if the bill will be selected from "10,000 won / 5,000 won / 1,000 won", if the coin will be selected from "500 won / 100 won / fifty won".

Now, an interface screen for receiving the quantity or number (number) of the selected paper type in step S105 is provided (S107).

If there is more money to replenish, the steps S105 and S107 are repeated to receive all the desired types and quantities (S109), and finally, the total remaining amount is calculated as a result of replenishment. This is calculated by using the formula "Remaining amount = Existing quantity + Replenishing quantity" for each volume type, but the calculated value is stored in memory, and when the change occurs in the currency exchange in the customer mode, the change amount calculation defaults. To be used.

In addition, in the interface provided at each step provided by the present invention, it is preferable that the selection or input means from the source is implemented as a touch screen, but may be implemented through various selection buttons provided separately from the display device.

In addition, the steps S101 to S111 may be premised as a previous step for the actual money replenishment work (manual work) by the cashier to the corresponding money exchanger, may be performed as a subsequent step, or may be performed during the steps. There is also. In the case of the third scheme, it may be implemented just before the step S111.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of recovering money from a money exchanger according to the present invention.

Since the recovery operation of money also belongs to the management area of the cashier, the procedure for recovering the money is started by first entering the "cashier mode" (S201).

Subsequently, an interface is provided for selecting between the currency replenishment mode or the retrieval mode (S203), and if the latter is selected, an interface for reselecting whether to collect the money of the depositor or the withdrawal unit is provided ( S205). Here, the deposit section refers to a portion where the customer collects and stores the money deposited for exchange through the currency exchanger, and the withdrawal section refers to a predetermined currency in order to exchange the deposited currency into a currency of the customer's desired kind. Points to the part that stores. In general, the collection of money will be done mainly for the deposit, but it can be done for the purpose of managing the money changer or for the settlement of the remaining money with the end of the day's work.

Even if any of these deposits or withdrawals are selected, the subsequent steps (steps S207 to S217) are the same.

In other words, it provides an interface to select whether there is a specific kind of currency to be recovered or whether to recover all the remaining currencies regardless of the class, and if the latter is selected, going through a separate class selection and quantity input procedure. Immediately proceeds to the remaining amount calculation step (S217), the remaining amount is designated as zero.

On the other hand, if the former is selected, this is particularly the same as the steps S105 to S111 of the procedure for replenishing the money and the purpose of the change is changed from "supplement" to "recovery", the procedure is similar (S207 to S213). . However, the formula for calculating the remaining amount after recovery is completed is replaced by "Remaining amount = Existing quantity-Recovering quantity".

Figure 3 is an embodiment of the screen showing the interface of each step of replenishing the currency to the money exchange in accordance with the present invention.

When the mode switching button provided at the mother of the currency exchanger is pressed or a specific menu is selected in the interface screen, a selection interface 301 for mode switching is provided.

Here, if "emergency mode " is selected, then an interface 303 is provided which provides various menus for managing the money exchanger. In the present invention, among these menus, in particular, interest in replenishment and retrieval of money, the case of the "supplement" menu is selected here.

Subsequently, an interface 305 is provided for selecting the kind of currency to be replenished. On the right side of the screen, a menu of various kinds of selectable books is listed up and down, and if a desired book type is selected, an interface 307 for inputting a replenishment number or replenishment quantity for the corresponding kind is provided.

Here, even after the predetermined quantity is input, if there is still another kind of currency to be replenished, a menu such as "continue input" is selected, and the interface 305 is returned to the previous interface 305 to repeat the selection process and quantity input.

If there is no more money to replenish, the user selects a menu such as “input completed” in the interface 307 to complete the replenishment. At this time, inside the money exchanger, a process of automatically calculating and storing the remaining amount after replenishment is completed is performed. After the process is performed, a separate interface (not shown in FIG. 3) may be further provided to display the calculation result on the screen.

Figure 4 is an embodiment screen showing the interface of each step of recovering money in the money exchanger according to the present invention.

When a button for mode switching provided in the mother of the currency exchanger is pressed or a specific menu is selected in the interface screen, a selection interface 401 for mode switching is provided, and in the case where "metering mode" is selected, management of the currency exchanger is subsequently performed. An interface 403 is provided that provides various menus for.

In this case, when the "collection" menu is selected, an interface providing a menu for selecting where the currency to be collected is located, that is, a menu for selecting whether to collect the money in the deposit section or the currency in the withdrawal unit. 405 is provided.

If you select either the deposit or withdrawal section, the procedure that follows is the same, except that the object of collection is different. That is, an interface 507 is provided following the interface 405 for selecting the kind of currency to be replenished. On the right side of the screen, a menu of various kinds of selectable books is listed up and down, and if a desired type of paper is selected, an interface 409 for inputting a replenishment number or replenishment quantity for the corresponding kind is provided.

Here, even after the predetermined quantity is input, if there are still other types of money to be replenished, a menu such as "continue input" is selected to return to the interface 409 immediately before and repeats the selection and quantity input process.

If there is no more currency to replenish, select a menu such as “Complete Input” in the 409 interface to complete the replenishment. At this time, inside the money exchanger, a process of automatically calculating and storing the remaining amount after replenishment is completed is performed. After such a process is performed, a separate interface (not shown in FIG. 4) may be further provided to display the calculation result on the screen as in the situation of FIG. 3.

Meanwhile, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described, but various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined not only by the appended claims, but also by the equivalents of the claims.

According to the present invention having the above configuration, the management staff does not need to manually count the quantity remaining in the current storage unit to replenish or collect money in the currency exchanger, and separate the total remaining amount after replenishment or recovery. Since there is no need to record in the books and the like, it is possible to drastically improve the conventional administrative inconvenience.
