　以下、添付図面を参照しながら、本発明の実施形態に係る貨幣処理装置について説明する。図１は、本実施形態に係る貨幣処理装置１０の概要を説明するための模式図である。本実施形態に係る貨幣処理装置１０は、各種情報を表示する表示部２０と、各種情報を入力するための操作部３０と、装置内に脱着可能に設けられた複数の収納容器４１（４１ａ、４１ｂ、４１ｃ、４１ｄ…）に貨幣を収納する収納部４０とを備える。収納容器４１は、収納部４０の扉を開いて装置外へ取り外せるようになっている。なお、本実施形態で言う貨幣には紙幣と硬貨の少なくともいずれか一方が含まれる。また、本実施形態で言う収納容器４１には、カセット型の収納容器４１ａ、４１ｂと、パウチ式の収納容器４１ｃ、４１ｄとが含まれる。また、本実施形態では、各収納容器４１には金種ごとに貨幣が収納されるものとして説明する。 Hereinafter, the money processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an outline of the money processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The money processing device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a display unit 20 for displaying various information, an operation unit 30 for inputting various information, and a plurality of storage containers 41 (41a, 41a, which are detachably provided in the device. 41b, 41c, 41d ...) Are provided with a storage unit 40 for storing money. The storage container 41 can be removed from the device by opening the door of the storage unit 40. The currency referred to in this embodiment includes at least one of a banknote and a coin. Further, the storage container 41 referred to in the present embodiment includes cassette- type storage containers 41a and 41b and pouch- type storage containers 41c and 41d. Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that money is stored in each storage container 41 for each denomination.
　貨幣処理装置１０は、例えば店舗１に設置されて、貨幣を入金するために利用される。貨幣処理装置１０は、入金口に受けた貨幣を装置内に取り込んで識別計数した後、収納部４０に装着された収納容器４１に収納する。貨幣処理装置１０は、各収納容器４１の重量を管理する。貨幣処理装置１０は、例えば、各収納容器４１に収納された貨幣の枚数及び貨幣１枚当たりの重量から貨幣の重量を算出し、算出値と空の収納容器４１の重量との合計値を各収納容器４１の重量として管理する。また、貨幣の重量を算出することに代えて、例えば、収納部４０に収納容器４１の重量を計測する計測部が設けられ、貨幣処理装置１０は、計測部によって各収納容器４１の重量を管理してもよい。 The money processing device 10 is installed in, for example, a store 1 and is used for depositing money. The money processing device 10 takes in the money received in the deposit port into the device, identifies and counts the money, and then stores the money in the storage container 41 attached to the storage unit 40. The money processing device 10 manages the weight of each storage container 41. The money processing device 10 calculates the weight of money from, for example, the number of money stored in each storage container 41 and the weight per piece of money, and calculates the total value of the calculated value and the weight of the empty storage container 41. It is managed as the weight of the storage container 41. Further, instead of calculating the weight of money, for example, the storage unit 40 is provided with a measuring unit for measuring the weight of the storage container 41, and the money processing device 10 manages the weight of each storage container 41 by the measuring unit. You may.
　店舗１から貨幣を回収する際には、貨幣を収納した収納容器４１が貨幣処理装置１０から取り外されて収納容器ごと回収される。回収作業を担当する現金輸送会社の担当者は、店舗１から回収した収納容器４１を現金輸送車２に積み込んで所定の回収場所へ運ぶ。例えば、収納容器４１は、現金を処理する現金センターと呼ばれる拠点又は金融機関銀行へ運ばれる。 When collecting money from the store 1, the storage container 41 containing the money is removed from the money processing device 10 and the entire storage container is collected. The person in charge of the cash transportation company in charge of the collection work loads the storage container 41 collected from the store 1 into the cash transport vehicle 2 and carries it to a predetermined collection place. For example, the storage container 41 is transported to a base called a cash center for processing cash or a financial institution bank.
　貨幣処理装置１０は、収納容器４１の回収作業を行う担当者に、収納容器４１の安全な運搬方法を提案することができる。担当者が操作部３０を操作して回収処理を開始すると、貨幣処理装置１０は、複数の収納容器４１それぞれの重量に基づいて、収納容器４１の安全な運搬方法を担当者に提案する。具体的には、貨幣処理装置１０は、予め設定された選択条件に基づいて、複数の収納容器４１の中から１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択し、選択結果を担当者に報知する。選択条件には、１人の担当者が同時に運ぶ収納容器４１の重量を制限する重量制限が含まれる。選択条件には、これに加えて、収納容器４１の個数を制限する個数制限又は他の条件が含まれてもよい。 The money processing device 10 can propose a safe transportation method for the storage container 41 to the person in charge of collecting the storage container 41. When the person in charge operates the operation unit 30 to start the collection process, the money processing device 10 proposes to the person in charge a safe transportation method of the storage container 41 based on the weight of each of the plurality of storage containers 41. Specifically, the money processing device 10 selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 from the plurality of storage containers 41 based on preset selection conditions, and notifies the person in charge of the selection result. The selection condition includes a weight limit that limits the weight of the storage container 41 carried by one person at the same time. In addition to this, the selection condition may include a number limit or other condition that limits the number of storage containers 41.
　１人の担当者が貨幣処理装置１０から現金輸送車２まで収納容器４１を運ぶ１回の運搬で、同時に運ぶ収納容器４１の重量（以下、「運搬重量」という）が、例えば、２０ｋｇ以下に制限される場合がある。この場合、選択条件に、収納容器４１の運搬重量を２０ｋｇ以下に制限する重量制限が追加される。また、例えば、１人の担当者が１回の運搬で同時に運ぶことができる収納容器４１の個数が２個以下に制限される場合がある。この場合、選択条件に、貨幣処理装置１０から同時に回収することができる収納容器４１の個数を２個以下に制限する個数制限が追加される。この他にも、選択条件には、収納容器４１の回収元とする装置の制限、複数の収納容器４１を同時に運搬する際の収納容器間の重量差の制限、回収する収納容器４１の重量の下限値の制限を含めることができるが、詳細は後述する。 One person in charge carries the storage container 41 from the money processing device 10 to the cash transport vehicle 2 in one transportation, and the weight of the storage container 41 carried at the same time (hereinafter referred to as "transport weight") becomes, for example, 20 kg or less. May be restricted. In this case, a weight limit is added to the selection condition to limit the transport weight of the storage container 41 to 20 kg or less. Further, for example, the number of storage containers 41 that can be simultaneously carried by one person in charge in one transportation may be limited to two or less. In this case, a number limit is added to the selection condition to limit the number of storage containers 41 that can be simultaneously collected from the money processing device 10 to 2 or less. In addition to this, the selection conditions include the limitation of the device as the collection source of the storage container 41, the limitation of the weight difference between the storage containers when a plurality of storage containers 41 are simultaneously transported, and the weight of the storage container 41 to be collected. A lower limit limit can be included, but details will be described later.
　選択条件に、運搬重量の上限値を２０ｋｇとする重量制限が含まれる場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、回収される複数の収納容器４１の中から、重量の合計値が２０ｋｇ以下となる１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択して表示部２０に表示する。例えば、収納容器４１ａの重量が１５ｋｇで、重量が５ｋｇ以下の収納容器４１がない場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、１個の収納容器４１ａを選択して、これを運ぶよう提案する情報を表示部２０に表示する。表示を確認した担当者は、図１に示すように、収納容器４１ａを貨幣処理装置１０から取り外して現金輸送車２へ運ぶ（Ａ１）。また、例えば、２個の収納容器４１ｂ、４１ｄの重量が合わせて１４ｋｇで、重量が６ｋｇ以下の他の収納容器４１がない場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、２個の収納容器４１ｂ、４１ｄを選択して、これらを同時に運ぶよう提案する情報を表示部２０に表示する。表示を確認した担当者は、図１に示すように、２個の収納容器４１ｂ、４１ｄを貨幣処理装置１０から取り外して左右の手に１個ずつ持って現金輸送車２へ運ぶ（Ａ２）。 When the selection condition includes a weight limit of 20 kg as the upper limit of the transported weight, the money processing device 10 has one or more of the plurality of collected storage containers 41 having a total weight of 20 kg or less. The storage container 41 of the above is selected and displayed on the display unit 20. For example, when the storage container 41a weighs 15 kg and there is no storage container 41 having a weight of 5 kg or less, the money processing device 10 selects one storage container 41a and displays information suggesting to carry it. Display at 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the person in charge who confirmed the display removes the storage container 41a from the money processing device 10 and carries it to the cash transport vehicle 2 (A1). Further, for example, when the total weight of the two storage containers 41b and 41d is 14 kg and there is no other storage container 41 having a weight of 6 kg or less, the money processing device 10 selects the two storage containers 41b and 41d. Then, the information suggesting to carry these at the same time is displayed on the display unit 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the person in charge who confirmed the display removes the two storage containers 41b and 41d from the money processing device 10 and carries one in each of the left and right hands to the cash transport vehicle 2 (A2).
　運搬方法に複数の選択肢がある場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、運搬重量が上限値に最も近い運搬方法を選択する。例えば、重量が１５ｋｇの収納容器４１ａを１つ回収する第１の運搬方法と、合計重量が１４ｋｇになる２個の収納容器４１ｂ、４１ｄを同時に回収する第２の運搬方法とがある場合、貨幣処理装置１０は第１の運搬方法を選択する。 When there are a plurality of options for the transportation method, the money processing device 10 selects the transportation method whose transportation weight is closest to the upper limit value. For example, if there is a first transportation method for collecting one storage container 41a having a weight of 15 kg and a second transportation method for simultaneously collecting two storage containers 41b and 41d having a total weight of 14 kg, money. The processing device 10 selects the first transportation method.
　選択条件に複数種類の制限が含まれる場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、全ての制限を満たす運搬方法を選択する。例えば、重量を２０ｋｇ以下とする重量制限と、個数を１個とする個数制限とが設定されている場合、２個の収納容器４１ｂ、４１ｄを同時に回収する運搬方法は選択されない。 When the selection condition includes a plurality of types of restrictions, the money processing device 10 selects a transportation method that satisfies all the restrictions. For example, when a weight limit of 20 kg or less and a number limit of one piece are set, a transportation method for simultaneously collecting two storage containers 41b and 41d is not selected.
　貨幣処理装置１０は、選択した運搬方法を担当者に報知する際、選択した１又は複数の収納容器４１を特定する情報と、各収納容器４１の重量を示す情報とを表示部２０に表示する。表示部２０は、担当者に運搬方法を報知する報知部として機能する。担当者は、表示部２０の表示から、貨幣処理装置１０から回収する１又は複数の収納容器４１を特定し、各収納容器４１の重量を認識することができる。なお、報知方法は、表示部２０の画面上に情報を表示する態様に限定されず、発光、音声等を利用する態様であってもよい。例えば、表示部２０に表示する情報を担当者に音声で案内する態様であってもよい。また、収納部４０に各収納容器４１に対応する発光部を設け、回収する１又は複数の収納容器４１に対応する発光部を発光させて、回収対象の収納容器４１を報知する態様であってもよい。 When notifying the person in charge of the selected transportation method, the money processing device 10 displays on the display unit 20 information for identifying the selected one or more storage containers 41 and information indicating the weight of each storage container 41. .. The display unit 20 functions as a notification unit that notifies the person in charge of the transportation method. The person in charge can identify one or more storage containers 41 to be collected from the money processing device 10 from the display of the display unit 20, and can recognize the weight of each storage container 41. The notification method is not limited to the mode in which information is displayed on the screen of the display unit 20, and may be a mode in which light emission, voice, or the like is used. For example, the information to be displayed on the display unit 20 may be guided by voice to the person in charge. Further, the storage unit 40 is provided with a light emitting unit corresponding to each storage container 41, and the light emitting unit corresponding to one or a plurality of storage containers 41 to be collected is made to emit light to notify the storage container 41 to be collected. May be good.
　貨幣処理装置１０は、各収納容器４１の重量、及び１回の運搬で同時に運ぶ収納容器４１の運搬重量を表示部２０に表示する場合に、各重量を示す数値に加えて、運搬重量を認識可能な情報を表示することができる。例えば、貨幣処理装置１０は、重量を５ｋｇ未満、５ｋｇ以上１０ｋｇ未満、１０ｋｇ以上の３つに区分して、５ｋｇ未満であれば「軽」、５ｋｇ以上１０ｋｇ未満であれば「中」、１０ｋｇ以上であれば「重」の文字を、運搬重量を示す数値と共に表示する。また、例えば、貨幣処理装置１０は、５ｋｇ未満であれば青色、５ｋｇ以上１０ｋｇ未満であれば黄色、１０ｋｇ以上であれば赤色で、運搬重量を示す数値を表示する。これにより、担当者は運搬重量の軽重を容易に認識することができる。なお、各収納容器４１の重量についても、運搬重量と同様に、重量を示す数値に加えて重量の軽重を示す情報を表示する態様であってもよい。 When displaying the weight of each storage container 41 and the transportation weight of the storage container 41 that is simultaneously carried in one transportation on the display unit 20, the money processing device 10 recognizes the transportation weight in addition to the numerical value indicating each weight. Possible information can be displayed. For example, the money processing device 10 divides the weight into three categories of less than 5 kg, 5 kg or more and less than 10 kg, and 10 kg or more. If so, the letters "heavy" are displayed together with the numerical value indicating the transported weight. Further, for example, the money processing apparatus 10 displays a numerical value indicating the transported weight in blue if it is less than 5 kg, yellow if it is 5 kg or more and less than 10 kg, and red if it is 10 kg or more. As a result, the person in charge can easily recognize the light weight of the transported weight. As for the weight of each storage container 41, as with the transportation weight, information indicating the lightness of the weight may be displayed in addition to the numerical value indicating the weight.
　貨幣処理装置１０は、担当者に報知した収納容器４１が取り外されると、次の収納容器４１を選択する。具体的には、貨幣処理装置１０は、担当者が取り外した収納容器４１を検知して、取り外されずに残っている収納容器４１の中から、選択条件を満たす１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択する。担当者が、貨幣処理装置１０が選択した収納容器４１ではなく別の収納容器４１を取り外した場合も、貨幣処理装置１０はこれを検知して、残っている収納容器４１を対象に、次に担当者に運搬を提案する１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択する。貨幣処理装置１０は、提案した収納容器４１だけを取り外せるように他の収納容器４１をロックすることもできるが、詳細は後述する。 When the storage container 41 notified to the person in charge is removed, the money processing device 10 selects the next storage container 41. Specifically, the money processing device 10 detects the storage container 41 removed by the person in charge, and selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 satisfying the selection condition from the storage containers 41 remaining without being removed. To do. Even if the person in charge removes another storage container 41 instead of the storage container 41 selected by the money processing device 10, the money processing device 10 detects this and targets the remaining storage container 41, and then Select one or more storage containers 41 that are proposed to be transported to the person in charge. The money processing device 10 can lock the other storage container 41 so that only the proposed storage container 41 can be removed, but the details will be described later.
　担当者は、貨幣処理装置１０から取り外した収納容器４１を現金輸送車２へ運搬する。例えば、運搬を終えた担当者が、貨幣処理装置１０の設置場所へ戻って操作部３０で所定操作を行うと、貨幣処理装置１０は、次に運搬を提案する１又は複数の収納容器４１の情報を表示部２０に表示する。こうして、担当者は、表示部２０に表示される情報に従って、貨幣処理装置１０が選択した１又は複数の収納容器４１を現金輸送車２に運搬する作業を繰り返すことにより、回収対象とする全ての収納容器４１を効率よく回収することができる。なお、収納容器４１が回収された後、該収納容器４１に代えて、空の収納容器４１が貨幣処理装置１０に取り付けられる。 The person in charge transports the storage container 41 removed from the money processing device 10 to the cash transport vehicle 2. For example, when the person in charge who has completed the transportation returns to the installation location of the money processing device 10 and performs a predetermined operation by the operation unit 30, the money processing device 10 next proposes transportation of one or a plurality of storage containers 41. The information is displayed on the display unit 20. In this way, the person in charge repeats the work of transporting one or more storage containers 41 selected by the money processing device 10 to the cash transport vehicle 2 according to the information displayed on the display unit 20, and thus all the collection targets. The storage container 41 can be efficiently collected. After the storage container 41 is collected, an empty storage container 41 is attached to the money processing device 10 in place of the storage container 41.
　貨幣処理装置１０が管理する収納容器４１の数は特に限定されない。また、管理対象は、貨幣処理装置１０内で利用される収納容器４１に限定されず、貨幣処理装置１０と通信可能に接続された別の装置の収納容器４１を管理対象に含めることもできる。例えば、貨幣処理装置１０が紙幣処理装置で、隣に設置された硬貨処理装置と共に利用される場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、紙幣が収納される各収納容器４１の重量と、硬貨が収納される各収納容器４１の重量とを管理する。この場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、紙幣の収納容器４１と、硬貨の収納容器４１とを対象に、上述したように、予め設定された選択条件に基づく１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択して担当者に報知する。 The number of storage containers 41 managed by the money processing device 10 is not particularly limited. Further, the management target is not limited to the storage container 41 used in the money processing device 10, and the storage container 41 of another device communicably connected to the money processing device 10 can be included in the management target. For example, when the money processing device 10 is a banknote processing device and is used together with a coin processing device installed next to it, the money processing device 10 stores the weight of each storage container 41 in which the banknotes are stored and the coins. The weight of each storage container 41 is managed. In this case, the money processing device 10 selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 based on preset selection conditions for the banknote storage container 41 and the coin storage container 41 as described above. Notify the person in charge.
　このように、貨幣処理装置１０は、予め設定された選択条件に基づいて、担当者に運搬を提案する１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択する。選択条件を満たす場合、担当者は、１回の運搬で複数の収納容器４１を同時に回収することができる。このため、担当者は、回収作業を効率よく進めることができる。また、担当者は、貨幣処理装置１０が表示部２０に表示する提案情報に従って回収作業を進めることができる。担当者は、複数の収納容器４１それぞれの重量を確認して、回収する収納容器４１を選択する必要はない。このため担当者は、回収作業を容易に進めることができる。 In this way, the money processing device 10 selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 that propose transportation to the person in charge based on the preset selection conditions. When the selection condition is satisfied, the person in charge can collect the plurality of storage containers 41 at the same time in one transportation. Therefore, the person in charge can efficiently proceed with the collection work. In addition, the person in charge can proceed with the collection work according to the proposal information displayed on the display unit 20 by the money processing device 10. The person in charge does not need to confirm the weight of each of the plurality of storage containers 41 and select the storage container 41 to be collected. Therefore, the person in charge can easily proceed with the collection work.
　図２は、貨幣処理装置１０の機能構成概略を示すブロック図である。貨幣処理装置１０は、図１に示す表示部２０、操作部３０、収納部４０及び複数の収納容器４１の他に、制御部６０、貨幣処理部７０及び記憶部８０を有する。 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of the functional configuration of the money processing device 10. The money processing device 10 includes a control unit 60, a money processing unit 70, and a storage unit 80 in addition to the display unit 20, the operating unit 30, the storage unit 40, and the plurality of storage containers 41 shown in FIG.
　貨幣処理部７０は、入金口に受けた貨幣を装置内に取り込み、識別計数して収納部４０へ送る。収納部４０は、貨幣処理部７０で識別計数された貨幣を複数の収納容器４１に収納する。収納部４０は、複数の収納容器４１を脱着可能に設けられている。収納部４０は、各収納容器４１が装着されたこと、及び取り外されたことを、検知することができる。記憶部８０は、不揮発性の記憶装置である。記憶部８０は、貨幣処理装置１０の動作に必要な各種情報の保存に利用される。例えば、重量制限を含む選択条件が記憶部８０に保存される。 The money processing unit 70 takes in the money received in the deposit slot into the device, identifies and counts it, and sends it to the storage unit 40. The storage unit 40 stores the money identified and counted by the money processing unit 70 in a plurality of storage containers 41. The storage unit 40 is provided so that a plurality of storage containers 41 can be attached and detached. The storage unit 40 can detect that each storage container 41 has been attached or removed. The storage unit 80 is a non-volatile storage device. The storage unit 80 is used to store various information necessary for the operation of the money processing device 10. For example, the selection conditions including the weight limit are stored in the storage unit 80.
　制御部６０は、設定部６１、重量管理部６２、選択部６３及びロック制御部６４を含む。設定部６１は、操作部３０を介して選択条件の設定を受け付ける。例えば、設定部６１が受け付ける選択条件には、重量制限を設定するための重量の情報が含まれる。設定部６１が受け付けた設定は、記憶部８０の選択条件に登録されて管理される。 The control unit 60 includes a setting unit 61, a weight management unit 62, a selection unit 63, and a lock control unit 64. The setting unit 61 accepts the setting of the selection condition via the operation unit 30. For example, the selection condition accepted by the setting unit 61 includes weight information for setting a weight limit. The settings received by the setting unit 61 are registered and managed in the selection conditions of the storage unit 80.
　重量管理部６２は、複数の収納容器４１それぞれの重量を管理する。重量管理部６２は、各収納容器４１に収納された貨幣の金種及び金種別枚数と、各金種の貨幣１枚当たりの重量とに基づいて、各収納容器４１に収納中の貨幣の重量を算出する。重量管理部６２は、空の収納容器４１の重量と、該収納容器４１に収納中の貨幣の重量とを合算した収納容器４１の重量を管理する。 The weight management unit 62 manages the weight of each of the plurality of storage containers 41. The weight management unit 62 determines the weight of the coins stored in each storage container 41 based on the denomination and the number of denominations of the coins stored in each storage container 41 and the weight per coin of each denomination. Is calculated. The weight management unit 62 manages the weight of the storage container 41, which is the sum of the weight of the empty storage container 41 and the weight of the money stored in the storage container 41.
　選択部６３は、記憶部８０で管理される選択条件と、重量管理部６２が管理する各収納容器４１の重量とに基づいて、上述したように、複数の収納容器４１の中から１人の担当者が１回の運搬で同時に運ぶことができる１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択する。 As described above, the selection unit 63 is one of a plurality of storage containers 41 based on the selection conditions managed by the storage unit 80 and the weight of each storage container 41 managed by the weight management unit 62. Select one or more storage containers 41 that the person in charge can carry at the same time in one transportation.
　ロック制御部６４は、収納部４０に設けられたロック機構を制御する。収納部４０には、複数の収納容器４１それぞれをロックするロック機構が設けられている。ロック制御部６４は、収納部４０に装着された収納容器４１を取り外せないようにロック機構によってロックする。ロック制御部６４は、収納容器４１が回収される際に、この収納容器４１を取り外せるようにロック機構のロックを解除する。 The lock control unit 64 controls the lock mechanism provided in the storage unit 40. The storage unit 40 is provided with a lock mechanism for locking each of the plurality of storage containers 41. The lock control unit 64 is locked by a lock mechanism so that the storage container 41 attached to the storage unit 40 cannot be removed. When the storage container 41 is collected, the lock control unit 64 unlocks the lock mechanism so that the storage container 41 can be removed.
　例えば、選択条件に基づいて選択された収納容器４１ａが貨幣処理装置１０から回収される際、ロック制御部６４は、他の収納容器４１はロックしたままで収納容器４１ａのロックだけを解除する。これにより、担当者が、誤って他の収納容器４１を回収することを防止することができる。 For example, when the storage container 41a selected based on the selection condition is collected from the money processing device 10, the lock control unit 64 unlocks only the storage container 41a while keeping the other storage containers 41 locked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the person in charge from accidentally collecting the other storage container 41.
　図３は、記憶部８０で管理される選択条件の例を示す図である。図３に示すように、選択条件には、重量上限値、重量下限値、個数上限値、重量差及び回収対象金種が含まれる。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of selection conditions managed by the storage unit 80. As shown in FIG. 3, the selection conditions include a weight upper limit value, a weight lower limit value, a number upper limit value, a weight difference, and a denomination to be collected.
　重量上限値は、１人の担当者が１回の運搬で同時に運ぶことができる１又は複数の収納容器４１の運搬重量を制限する値である。選択部６３は、単体重量が重量上限値以下となる１個の収納容器４１を選択する。または、選択部６３は、各収納容器４１の単体重量の合計値が重量上限値以下となる複数の収納容器４１を選択する。 The upper limit of weight is a value that limits the transport weight of one or more storage containers 41 that can be simultaneously transported by one person in charge in one transport. The selection unit 63 selects one storage container 41 whose unit weight is equal to or less than the upper limit of the weight. Alternatively, the selection unit 63 selects a plurality of storage containers 41 in which the total value of the individual weights of the storage containers 41 is equal to or less than the upper limit of the weight.
　重量下限値は、貨幣の収納量が少なく重量の軽い収納容器４１を回収対象から除外するための値である。単体重量が重量下限値に満たない収納容器４１は回収対象外とみなされて、選択部６３による選択対象から除外される。例えば、重量下限値が３ｋｇに設定された場合、単体重量が３ｋｇに満たない収納容器４１は回収されない。 The lower limit of weight is a value for excluding the storage container 41, which has a small amount of money and is light in weight, from the collection target. The storage container 41 whose unit weight is less than the lower limit of the weight is considered to be excluded from the collection target and is excluded from the selection target by the selection unit 63. For example, when the lower limit of the weight is set to 3 kg, the storage container 41 having a unit weight of less than 3 kg is not collected.
　個数上限値は、１人の担当者が１回の運搬で同時に運ぶことができる収納容器４１の個数を制限する値である。選択部６３は、複数の収納容器４１を選択する場合に、収納容器４１の個数が個数上限値以下となるように選択する。 The upper limit of the number of containers is a value that limits the number of storage containers 41 that can be carried by one person in charge at the same time in one transportation. When selecting a plurality of storage containers 41, the selection unit 63 selects so that the number of storage containers 41 is equal to or less than the upper limit of the number of storage containers 41.
　重量差は、複数の収納容器４１を同時に運搬する場合の各収納容器４１の単体重量の差を制限する値である。選択部６３は、複数の収納容器４１を選択する場合に、各収納容器４１の単体重量の差が、重量差として設定された値以下となるように選択する。例えば、１人の担当者が２個の収納容器４１を左右それぞれの手に１個ずつ持って運ぶ場合に、左右の収納容器４１の重量差が大きいと、担当者が運搬中にバランスを崩して転倒する可能性がある。重量差を設定することで、これを回避することができる。 The weight difference is a value that limits the difference in the weight of each storage container 41 when a plurality of storage containers 41 are transported at the same time. When selecting a plurality of storage containers 41, the selection unit 63 selects so that the difference in the weight of each storage container 41 is equal to or less than the value set as the weight difference. For example, when one person in charge carries two storage containers 41 in each of the left and right hands, if the weight difference between the left and right storage containers 41 is large, the person in charge loses the balance during transportation. There is a possibility of falling. This can be avoided by setting the weight difference.
　回収対象金種は、収納容器４１を利用して回収する１又は複数の貨幣の金種を指定する設定である。例えば、回収対象金種が「金種Ａのみ」と設定された場合、選択部６３が選択する収納容器４１が、金種Ａの貨幣のみを収納中の収納容器４１に制限される。また、例えば、回収対象金種が「金種Ａを含む」と設定された場合、選択部６３が選択する収納容器４１が、収納中の貨幣の中に金種Ａの貨幣を含む収納容器４１に制限される。 The denomination to be collected is a setting that specifies the denomination of one or more coins to be collected using the storage container 41. For example, when the collection target denomination is set to "denomination A only", the storage container 41 selected by the selection unit 63 is limited to the storage container 41 that is storing only the money of the denomination A. Further, for example, when the denomination to be collected is set to "include denomination A", the storage container 41 selected by the selection unit 63 contains the coin of denomination A among the coins being stored. Limited to.
　選択条件の具体的な設定例を説明する。図４は、２台の貨幣処理装置１０、１１から７個の収納容器４１（４１ａ～４１ｇ）を回収する例を示す図である。貨幣処理装置１１は、収納容器４１（４１ｅ～４１ｇ）の数が異なる以外は貨幣処理装置１０と同様の構成を有するが、運搬方法の提案は貨幣処理装置１０が行うようになっている。例えば、貨幣処理装置１０は硬貨処理装置で、貨幣処理装置１１は紙幣処理装置である。ただし、貨幣処理装置１０、１１は、それぞれが紙幣処理装置と硬貨処理装置のいずれであってもよい。 A specific setting example of selection conditions will be explained. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of collecting seven storage containers 41 (41a to 41g) from the two money processing devices 10, 11. The money processing device 11 has the same configuration as the money processing device 10 except that the number of storage containers 41 (41e to 41 g) is different, but the money processing device 10 proposes a transportation method. For example, the money processing device 10 is a coin processing device, and the money processing device 11 is a banknote processing device. However, the money processing devices 10 and 11 may be either a banknote processing device or a coin processing device, respectively.
　図４（ａ）に示すように、貨幣処理装置１０（硬貨処理装置Ｘ）は４つの収納容器４１ａ～４１ｄを有し、貨幣処理装置１０と通信可能に接続された別の貨幣処理装置１１（紙幣処理装置Ｙ）は３つの収納容器４１ｅ～４１ｇを有する。以下、説明を簡単にするため、貨幣処理装置１０の収納容器４１ａ～４１ｄをそれぞれ収納容器Ｘａ～Ｘｄと記載して、貨幣処理装置１１の収納容器４１ｅ～４１ｇをそれぞれ収納容器Ｙａ～Ｙｃと記載する。 As shown in FIG. 4A, the money processing device 10 (coin processing device X) has four storage containers 41a to 41d, and another money processing device 11 (communicably connected to the money processing device 10) ( The bill processing device Y) has three storage containers 41e to 41 g. Hereinafter, for the sake of simplicity, the storage containers 41a to 41d of the money processing device 10 are described as storage containers Xa to Xd, respectively, and the storage containers 41e to 41g of the money processing device 11 are described as storage containers Ya to Yc, respectively. To do.
　貨幣処理装置１０の重量管理部６２は、各収納容器Ｘａ～Ｘｄ、Ｙａ～Ｙｃの重量を管理する。図４（ａ）に示すように、収納容器Ｘａ～Ｘｄの重量はそれぞれ１８ｋｇ、１０ｋｇ、６ｋｇ、３ｋｇであり、収納容器Ｙａ～Ｙｃの重量はそれぞれ５ｋｇ、３ｋｇ、２ｋｇであるものとして説明を続ける。 The weight management unit 62 of the money processing device 10 manages the weights of the storage containers Xa to Xd and Ya to Yc. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the weights of the storage containers Xa to Xd are 18 kg, 10 kg, 6 kg and 3 kg, respectively, and the weights of the storage containers Ya to Yc are 5 kg, 3 kg and 2 kg, respectively. ..
　図４（ａ）に示すように複数の貨幣処理装置１０、１１から収納容器４１を回収する場合、図３に示す選択条件に、回収対象装置の項目を追加することができる。選択条件の回収対象装置に「同一装置」と設定すると、選択部６３は、同一装置から、すなわち１台の貨幣処理装置から、収納容器４１を回収するように１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択する。 When collecting the storage container 41 from the plurality of money processing devices 10 and 11 as shown in FIG. 4A, the item of the collection target device can be added to the selection condition shown in FIG. When "same device" is set as the collection target device of the selection condition, the selection unit 63 selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 so as to collect the storage container 41 from the same device, that is, from one money processing device. To do.
　選択条件に、重量上限値「２０ｋｇ」、回収対象装置「同一装置」と設定されている場合、貨幣処理装置１０の選択部６３は、この選択条件を満たすように、１人の担当者が１回で運搬し得る収納容器４１の組み合わせを、図４（ｂ）に示すように選択する。なお、図４（ｂ）及び図５では、何回目の運搬対象であるかを「Ｎｏ．」で示し、各回の運搬対象の収納容器４１の合計重量を「運搬重量」として示している。 When the weight upper limit value "20 kg" and the collection target device "same device" are set in the selection conditions, the selection unit 63 of the money processing device 10 has one person in charge so as to satisfy this selection condition. A combination of storage containers 41 that can be transported in one cycle is selected as shown in FIG. 4 (b). In addition, in FIG. 4B and FIG. 5, the number of times to be transported is indicated by "No.", and the total weight of the storage container 41 to be transported each time is indicated as "transported weight".
　選択部６３は、図４（ｂ）に示すように、１回目の運搬対象として１個の収納容器Ｘａを選択し、２回目の運搬対象として３つの収納容器Ｘｂ、Ｘｃ、Ｘｄを選択し、３回目の運搬対象として３つの収納容器Ｙａ、Ｙｂ、Ｙｃを選択する。 As shown in FIG. 4B, the selection unit 63 selects one storage container Xa as the first transportation target, and selects three storage containers Xb, Xc, and Xd as the second transportation target. Three storage containers Ya, Yb, and Yc are selected as the third transportation target.
　図５は、選択条件を変更した場合の収納容器４１の選択例を示す図である。図５（ａ）に示す選択条件では、図４に示す選択条件のうち回収対象装置の制限が解除され、図４にはない個数上限値「２個」の制限が追加されている。回収対象装置の制限が解除されたため、図５（ａ）の１回目及び３回目の運搬対象に示すように、選択部６３は、貨幣処理装置１０の収納容器Ｘａ～Ｘｄと別の貨幣処理装置１１の収納容器Ｙａ～Ｙｃの組み合わせを選択することができる。一方、個数上限値が２個に制限されたため、選択部６３は、図４（ｂ）の２回目及び３回目の運搬対象に示すように３個の収納容器４１の組み合わせを選択することができなくなる。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a selection example of the storage container 41 when the selection conditions are changed. In the selection condition shown in FIG. 5A, the restriction of the collection target device among the selection conditions shown in FIG. 4 is released, and the restriction of the number upper limit value “2” which is not shown in FIG. 4 is added. Since the restriction on the collection target device has been lifted, as shown in the first and third transportation targets in FIG. 5A, the selection unit 63 is a money processing device different from the storage containers Xa to Xd of the money processing device 10. The combination of 11 storage containers Ya to Yc can be selected. On the other hand, since the upper limit of the number of containers is limited to two, the selection unit 63 can select a combination of three storage containers 41 as shown in the second and third transportation targets of FIG. 4 (b). It disappears.
　選択部６３は、図５（ａ）に示すように、１回目の運搬対象として２個の収納容器Ｘａ、Ｙｃを選択し、２回目の運搬対象として２個の収納容器Ｘｂ、Ｘｃを選択する。また、３回目の運搬対象として２個の収納容器Ｘｄ、Ｙａを選択し、４回目の運搬対象として１個の収納容器Ｙｂを選択する。 As shown in FIG. 5A, the selection unit 63 selects two storage containers Xa and Yc as the first transportation target, and selects two storage containers Xb and Xc as the second transportation target. .. Further, two storage containers Xd and Ya are selected as the third transportation target, and one storage container Yb is selected as the fourth transportation target.
　図５（ｂ）は、図５（ａ）に示す選択条件に、さらに重量差の制限を追加した場合の収納容器４１の選択例を示す図である。重量差を２ｋｇ以下とする制限が追加されたため、選択部６３は、図５（ａ）の１回目及び２回目の運搬対象に示すように重量差が２ｋｇを超える収納容器４１の組み合わせを選択することができなくなる。選択部６３は、図５（ｂ）に示すように収納容器４１の組み合わせを選択する。担当者は、１個又は２個の収納容器４１の運搬を５回行うことで、全ての収納容器４１を回収することができる。 FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a selection example of the storage container 41 when a weight difference limitation is further added to the selection conditions shown in FIG. 5A. Since the restriction that the weight difference is 2 kg or less has been added, the selection unit 63 selects the combination of the storage containers 41 having a weight difference of more than 2 kg as shown in the first and second transportation targets in FIG. 5 (a). You will not be able to. The selection unit 63 selects the combination of the storage containers 41 as shown in FIG. 5 (b). The person in charge can collect all the storage containers 41 by transporting one or two storage containers 41 five times.
　図５（ｃ）は、図５（ｂ）に示す選択条件に、さらに重量下限値の制限を追加した場合の収納容器４１の選択例を示す図である。重量下限値を３ｋｇとする選択条件が追加されたため、重量が２ｋｇの収納容器Ｙｃは、回収対象から除外される。選択部６３は、図５（ｃ）に示すように収納容器４１の組み合わせを選択する。担当者は、１個又は２個の収納容器４１の運搬を４回行うことで、回収対象から除外された収納容器Ｙｃを除く全ての収納容器４１を回収することができる。 FIG. 5 (c) is a diagram showing a selection example of the storage container 41 when a limit of the lower limit of weight is further added to the selection conditions shown in FIG. 5 (b). Since the selection condition that the lower limit of the weight is 3 kg has been added, the storage container Yc having a weight of 2 kg is excluded from the collection target. The selection unit 63 selects the combination of the storage containers 41 as shown in FIG. 5 (c). The person in charge can collect all the storage containers 41 except the storage container Yc excluded from the collection target by carrying the one or two storage containers 41 four times.
　このように、選択条件を変更することで、選択部６３が選択する収納容器４１の組み合わせが変化する。例えば、貨幣処理装置１０の台数、収納容器４１の個数、収納容器４１の重量が取り得る範囲を考慮して適切な選択条件を設定することで、回収作業を効率よく行うことが可能となる。 By changing the selection condition in this way, the combination of the storage containers 41 selected by the selection unit 63 changes. For example, by setting an appropriate selection condition in consideration of the number of money processing devices 10, the number of storage containers 41, and the range in which the weight of the storage container 41 can be taken, it is possible to efficiently perform the collection operation.
　図６～図９を参照しながら貨幣処理装置１０が行う回収処理について説明する。図６は、回収処理を示すフローチャートである。担当者が、貨幣処理装置１０から４つの収納容器４１を回収する場合を例に回収処理の流れを説明する。説明を簡単にするため４つの収納容器４１をそれぞれ収納容器Ａ～Ｄと記載する。 The collection process performed by the money processing device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the collection process. The flow of the collection process will be described by taking as an example the case where the person in charge collects the four storage containers 41 from the money processing device 10. For the sake of simplicity, the four storage containers 41 are described as storage containers A to D, respectively.
　担当者が、貨幣処理装置１０の操作部３０を操作して収納容器Ａ～Ｄの回収処理を開始すると、選択部６３は、記憶部８０から選択条件を取得する（ステップＳ１）。また、選択部６３は、重量管理部６２が管理する各収納容器Ａ～Ｄの重量の情報を取得する（ステップＳ２）。収納容器Ａ～Ｄの重量がそれぞれ１０ｋｇ、１５ｋｇ、１９ｋｇ、１０ｋｇであり、選択条件に重量上限値「２０ｋｇ」と個数上限値「２個」とが設定されているものとして説明を続ける。 When the person in charge operates the operation unit 30 of the money processing device 10 to start the collection process of the storage containers A to D, the selection unit 63 acquires the selection condition from the storage unit 80 (step S1). Further, the selection unit 63 acquires information on the weight of each storage container A to D managed by the weight management unit 62 (step S2). The explanation will be continued assuming that the weights of the storage containers A to D are 10 kg, 15 kg, 19 kg, and 10 kg, respectively, and the weight upper limit value "20 kg" and the number upper limit value "2 pieces" are set as the selection conditions.
　選択部６３は、選択条件に基づいて、１人の担当者が１回の運搬で同時に運ぶ収納容器４１の運搬重量が合計２０ｋｇ以下となるように、１個又は２個の収納容器４１を選択する（ステップＳ３）。例えば、選択部６３は、重量が上限値の２０ｋｇを超えずかつ２０ｋｇに最も近い１個の収納容器４１、又は重量の合計値が上限値の２０ｋｇを超えずかつ２０ｋｇに最も近い２個の収納容器４１の組み合わせを探索する。この結果、選択部６３は、重量の合計値が２０ｋｇとなる２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄを選択する。選択部６３は、選択した２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄの情報を表示部２０に表示して担当者に報知する（ステップＳ４）。 The selection unit 63 selects one or two storage containers 41 based on the selection conditions so that the total weight of the storage containers 41 carried by one person at the same time in one transportation is 20 kg or less. (Step S3). For example, the selection unit 63 may store one storage container 41 whose weight does not exceed the upper limit of 20 kg and is closest to 20 kg, or two storage containers whose total weight does not exceed the upper limit of 20 kg and is closest to 20 kg. Search for a combination of containers 41. As a result, the selection unit 63 selects two storage containers A and D having a total weight of 20 kg. The selection unit 63 displays the information of the two selected storage containers A and D on the display unit 20 and notifies the person in charge (step S4).
　図７は、表示部２０に表示される画面例を示す図である。図７（ａ）に示すように、画面１００には、選択部６３が選択した２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄの情報が、他の収納容器Ｂ、Ｃの情報と区別可能に表示される。担当者は、画面１００の表示から、これから行う運搬で２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄを運べばよいことを認識することができる。また、画面１００には、各収納容器Ａ～Ｄの重量を示す情報が表示される。担当者は、これから運搬する２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄがそれぞれ１０ｋｇであることを認識することができる。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 20. As shown in FIG. 7A, the information of the two storage containers A and D selected by the selection unit 63 is displayed on the screen 100 so as to be distinguishable from the information of the other storage containers B and C. From the display on the screen 100, the person in charge can recognize that the two storage containers A and D should be carried in the future transportation. Further, on the screen 100, information indicating the weight of each storage container A to D is displayed. The person in charge can recognize that the two storage containers A and D to be transported are each weighing 10 kg.
　選択部６３が選択した通りに２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄを回収する場合（図６ステップＳ５；Ｙｅｓ）、担当者が操作部３０を操作して図７（ａ）に示す画面１００の回収ボタンを押すと、表示部２０には図７（ｂ）に示す画面１０１が表示される。画面１０１には、これから担当者が運ぶ収納容器Ａ、Ｄの情報と、各収納容器Ａ、Ｄの重量と、回収を確認する情報とが表示される。担当者が画面１０１のキャンセルボタンを押すと画面１００に戻る。 When the selection unit 63 collects the two storage containers A and D as selected (step S5 in FIG. 6; Yes), the person in charge operates the operation unit 30 to collect the screen 100 shown in FIG. 7 (a). When the button is pressed, the screen 101 shown in FIG. 7B is displayed on the display unit 20. On the screen 101, information on the storage containers A and D to be carried by the person in charge, the weight of each storage container A and D, and information for confirming the collection are displayed. When the person in charge presses the cancel button on the screen 101, the screen returns to the screen 100.
　担当者が画面１０１のＯＫボタンを押すと、回収する収納容器Ａ、Ｄが確定され、ロック制御部６４が、収納容器Ａ、Ｄのロックを解除する（図６ステップＳ８）。担当者は、貨幣処理装置１０の収納部４０から、ロックが解除された２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｄを取り外して現金輸送車２へ運搬する。このとき、回収されない収納容器Ｂ、Ｃはロックされており、担当者が、誤って別の収納容器Ｂ、Ｃを取り外すことはない。 When the person in charge presses the OK button on the screen 101, the storage containers A and D to be collected are confirmed, and the lock control unit 64 unlocks the storage containers A and D (step S8 in FIG. 6). The person in charge removes the two unlocked storage containers A and D from the storage unit 40 of the money processing device 10 and transports them to the cash transport vehicle 2. At this time, the storage containers B and C that are not collected are locked, and the person in charge does not accidentally remove another storage container B and C.
　収納容器Ａ、Ｄが回収された後、回収対象の収納容器Ｂ、Ｃが残っているため（ステップＳ９；Ｎｏ）、続いて、次に担当者が回収する収納容器４１を選択する処理が行われる。収納部４０から収納容器Ａ、Ｄが取り外されたことを検知した選択部６３は、残っている収納容器Ｂ、Ｃの中から、選択条件を満たす１個又は２個の収納容器４１を選択する（ステップＳ３）。 After the storage containers A and D are collected, the storage containers B and C to be collected remain (step S9; No), so that the person in charge next selects the storage container 41 to be collected. Will be. The selection unit 63, which has detected that the storage containers A and D have been removed from the storage unit 40, selects one or two storage containers 41 satisfying the selection conditions from the remaining storage containers B and C. (Step S3).
　ステップＳ４で図７（ａ）に示す画面１００を確認した担当者は、回収する収納容器４１を手動で変更することもできる。図８は、収納容器４１を変更する際に表示部２０に表示される画面例を示す図である。担当者が、操作部３０を操作して図７（ａ）に示す画面１００の変更ボタンを押すと、図８（ａ）に示すように、選択部６３が選択した収納容器Ａ、Ｄの選択が解除される（図６ステップＳ５；Ｎｏ）。担当者は、操作部３０を操作して、この画面１０２上で１又は複数の収納容器４１を手動で選択することができる。 The person in charge who confirmed the screen 100 shown in FIG. 7A in step S4 can manually change the storage container 41 to be collected. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 20 when the storage container 41 is changed. When the person in charge operates the operation unit 30 and presses the change button on the screen 100 shown in FIG. 7A, the selection unit 63 selects the storage containers A and D selected as shown in FIG. 8A. Is released (FIG. 6, step S5; No). The person in charge can manually select one or more storage containers 41 on the screen 102 by operating the operation unit 30.
　担当者は、図８（ａ）に示す画面１０２で、回収したい収納容器４１を選択する（ステップＳ６）。例えば、担当者が、収納容器Ｃを選択すると、図８（ｂ）に示すように、画面１０３上で収納容器Ｃが選択された状態になる。担当者が、画面１０３の回収ボタンを押すと、選択部６３は、担当者が選択した収納容器Ｃが選択条件を満たすか否かを判定する（図６ステップＳ７）。選択条件を満たす場合（ステップＳ７；Ｙｅｓ）、図８（ｃ）に示す画面１０４が表示される。画面１０４には、担当者が手動選択した収納容器４１の情報と、収納容器４１の重量を示す情報と、回収を確認する情報とが表示される。担当者が画面１０４のキャンセルボタンを押すと画面１０２に戻る。 The person in charge selects the storage container 41 to be collected on the screen 102 shown in FIG. 8A (step S6). For example, when the person in charge selects the storage container C, the storage container C is selected on the screen 103 as shown in FIG. 8B. When the person in charge presses the collection button on the screen 103, the selection unit 63 determines whether or not the storage container C selected by the person in charge satisfies the selection condition (step S7 in FIG. 6). When the selection condition is satisfied (step S7; Yes), the screen 104 shown in FIG. 8C is displayed. On the screen 104, information on the storage container 41 manually selected by the person in charge, information indicating the weight of the storage container 41, and information for confirming the collection are displayed. When the person in charge presses the cancel button on the screen 104, the screen 102 is returned.
　担当者が画面１０４のＯＫボタンを押すと、回収する収納容器Ｃが確定され、ロック制御部６４が収納容器Ｃのロックを解除する（図６ステップＳ８）。担当者は、ロックが解除された収納容器Ｃを取り外して現金輸送車２へ運搬する。回収対象の収納容器Ｂ～Ｄが残っているため（ステップＳ９；Ｎｏ）、続いて、選択部６３が、残っている収納容器Ｂ～Ｄの中から、選択条件を満たす収納容器４１を選択することになる（ステップＳ３）。 When the person in charge presses the OK button on the screen 104, the storage container C to be collected is confirmed, and the lock control unit 64 unlocks the storage container C (step S8 in FIG. 6). The person in charge removes the unlocked storage container C and transports it to the cash transport vehicle 2. Since the storage containers B to D to be collected remain (step S9; No), the selection unit 63 subsequently selects the storage container 41 satisfying the selection condition from the remaining storage containers B to D. That is (step S3).
　担当者が手動で選択した収納容器４１が選択条件を満たさない場合、担当者は選択した収納容器４１を回収できない。図９は、担当者が選択した収納容器４１が選択条件を満たさない場合に表示される画面例を示す図である。 If the storage container 41 manually selected by the person in charge does not satisfy the selection conditions, the person in charge cannot collect the selected storage container 41. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed when the storage container 41 selected by the person in charge does not satisfy the selection condition.
　図８（ａ）に示す画面１０２が表示された後、担当者が収納容器４１を選択する操作を行う度に、選択部６３は、担当者が選択した収納容器４１が選択条件を満たすか否かを判定する（図６ステップＳ７）。例えば、担当者が２個の収納容器Ａ、Ｃを選択した場合、重量の合計値が２９ｋｇとなって重量上限値の２０ｋｇを超える。この場合、選択部６３は、選択条件を満たさないと判定して（ステップＳ７；Ｎｏ）、図９に示すように判定結果を担当者に報知する。担当者が選択した収納容器４１が選択条件を満たさない場合、画面１０５上の回収ボタンがグレーアウトされて押せなくなる。また、画面１０５上に、選択条件を満たさないと判定された理由が表示される。担当者は、画面１０５を確認して収納容器４１の選択をやり直すことになる（ステップＳ６）。 After the screen 102 shown in FIG. 8A is displayed, each time the person in charge performs an operation of selecting the storage container 41, the selection unit 63 determines whether or not the storage container 41 selected by the person in charge satisfies the selection condition. (FIG. 6, step S7). For example, when the person in charge selects two storage containers A and C, the total weight is 29 kg, which exceeds the upper limit of 20 kg. In this case, the selection unit 63 determines that the selection condition is not satisfied (step S7; No), and notifies the person in charge of the determination result as shown in FIG. If the storage container 41 selected by the person in charge does not satisfy the selection condition, the collection button on the screen 105 is grayed out and cannot be pressed. Further, the reason why it is determined that the selection condition is not satisfied is displayed on the screen 105. The person in charge confirms the screen 105 and reselects the storage container 41 (step S6).
　ステップＳ３～Ｓ９の処理を繰り返しながら貨幣処理装置１０から収納容器４１を取り外して運搬する作業が続けられる。担当者は、運搬重量が２０ｋｇ以下となる１個又は２個の収納容器４１を複数回運搬することになる。全ての収納容器Ａ～Ｄの回収を終えると（ステップＳ９；Ｙｅｓ）、回収処理が終了する。 The work of removing the storage container 41 from the money processing device 10 and transporting it is continued while repeating the processes of steps S3 to S9. The person in charge will transport one or two storage containers 41 having a transport weight of 20 kg or less a plurality of times. When the collection of all the storage containers A to D is completed (step S9; Yes), the collection process is completed.
　このように、担当者は、貨幣処理装置１０によって自動的に選択された収納容器４１を回収することもできるし、回収する収納容器４１を手動で変更することもできる。例えば、担当者が片手に別の荷物を持つ必要がある場合、担当者は、貨幣処理装置１０が選択した２個の収納容器４１を１個に変更して回収することができる。これにより、担当者は作業状況に応じた回収作業を行うことができる。 In this way, the person in charge can collect the storage container 41 automatically selected by the money processing device 10, or can manually change the storage container 41 to be collected. For example, when the person in charge needs to hold another baggage in one hand, the person in charge can change the two storage containers 41 selected by the money processing device 10 to one and collect them. As a result, the person in charge can perform the collection work according to the work situation.
　本実施形態では、重量管理部６２が、空の収納容器４１の重量に、収納容器４１に収納中の貨幣の重量を加算した値を、各収納容器４１の重量として管理する例を示したが、重量の取扱いがこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、重量管理部６２が、各収納容器４１に収納中の貨幣の重量を、各収納容器４１の重量として管理してもよい。この場合も、空の収納容器４１の重量を考慮して重量制限を設定すれば、上述したように、選択部６３に、担当者が安全に運搬できる収納容器４１を選択させることができる。 In the present embodiment, the weight management unit 62 manages the weight of the empty storage container 41 plus the weight of the money stored in the storage container 41 as the weight of each storage container 41. , The handling of weight is not limited to this. For example, the weight management unit 62 may manage the weight of money stored in each storage container 41 as the weight of each storage container 41. In this case as well, if the weight limit is set in consideration of the weight of the empty storage container 41, the selection unit 63 can select the storage container 41 that the person in charge can safely carry as described above.
　本実施形態では、選択部６３が、複数の収納容器４１の中から選択条件を満たす１又は複数の収納容器４１を選択する例を示したが、これらは例示であって、選択される収納容器４１を限定するものではない。選択肢が複数ある場合に、選択部６３がいずれの選択肢を選択するかは、選択部６３の動作に係る設定により適宜変更可能である。 In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the selection unit 63 selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 satisfying the selection condition from the plurality of storage containers 41, but these are examples and are selected storage containers. It does not limit 41. When there are a plurality of options, which option the selection unit 63 selects can be appropriately changed by the setting related to the operation of the selection unit 63.
　例えば、選択部６３が、それぞれの重量が３ｋｇ、４ｋｇ、５ｋｇの３つの収納容器４１の中から重量の合計値が１０ｋｇ以下となる２個の収納容器４１を選択する場合、６通りの組み合わせがある。重量の合計値が最小となる組み合わせを選択するように設定すれば、選択部６３は、３ｋｇの収納容器４１と４ｋｇの収納容器４１の組み合わせを選択する。また、重量の合計値が最大となる組み合わせを選択するよう設定すれば、選択部６３は、４ｋｇの収納容器４１と５ｋｇの収納容器４１の組み合わせを選択する。 For example, when the selection unit 63 selects two storage containers 41 having a total weight of 10 kg or less from the three storage containers 41 having a weight of 3 kg, 4 kg, and 5 kg, there are six combinations. is there. If the combination that minimizes the total weight value is set, the selection unit 63 selects the combination of the 3 kg storage container 41 and the 4 kg storage container 41. Further, if it is set to select the combination that maximizes the total weight value, the selection unit 63 selects the combination of the 4 kg storage container 41 and the 5 kg storage container 41.
　本実施形態では、図７（ａ）の画面１００に示すように、選択部６３が、１回の運搬の情報を担当者に報知する例を示したが、複数回の運搬の情報を報知する態様であってもよい。具体的には、例えば図５（ａ）に示すＮｏ．１～４の情報を１つずつ表示部２０に表示する態様の他、Ｎｏ．１～４の情報全てを表示部２０に表示して、担当者がＮｏ．１～４の中から１つを選択して収納容器４１を回収する態様であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, as shown in the screen 100 of FIG. 7A, the selection unit 63 notifies the person in charge of the information of one transportation, but notifies the information of a plurality of transportations. It may be an embodiment. Specifically, for example, No. 1 shown in FIG. 5 (a). In addition to the mode in which the information 1 to 4 is displayed one by one on the display unit 20, No. All the information of 1 to 4 is displayed on the display unit 20, and the person in charge is No. The storage container 41 may be collected by selecting one from 1 to 4.
　また、収納容器４１を回収する方法が複数通りある場合、選択部６３は、運搬回数が最小値を示す運搬方法を選択するが、運搬方法を担当者に選択させる態様であってもよい。具体的には、例えば３回の運搬で収納容器４１を回収する方法と、４回の運搬で収納容器４１を回収する方法とが可能である場合に、選択部６３が、３回の運搬で回収する方法を自動選択する設定とすることもできるし、２つの運搬方法を表示部２０に表示して担当者に手動選択させる設定とすることもできる。担当者に手動選択させる場合、貨幣処理装置１０は、図５に示すような各方法の詳細情報を表示部２０に表示することができる。このとき、選択部６３が、運搬方法を推奨する設定とすることもできる。例えば、選択部６３が、運搬回数が最小値を示す運搬方法を推奨するように設定することができる。担当者は、表示部２０に表示された運搬回数、各運搬時の収納容器４１の運搬重量、選択部６３が推奨する運搬方法を確認して運搬方法を選択することができる。 Further, when there are a plurality of methods for collecting the storage container 41, the selection unit 63 selects the transportation method in which the number of times of transportation shows the minimum value, but the mode may be such that the person in charge selects the transportation method. Specifically, for example, when a method of collecting the storage container 41 by three times of transportation and a method of collecting the storage container 41 by four times of transportation are possible, the selection unit 63 performs three times of transportation. The collection method can be set to be automatically selected, or the two transportation methods can be displayed on the display unit 20 and manually selected by the person in charge. When the person in charge is manually selected, the money processing device 10 can display the detailed information of each method as shown in FIG. 5 on the display unit 20. At this time, the selection unit 63 may be set to recommend the transportation method. For example, the selection unit 63 can be set to recommend a transport method in which the number of transports shows the minimum value. The person in charge can select the transportation method by confirming the number of transportations displayed on the display unit 20, the transportation weight of the storage container 41 at each transportation, and the transportation method recommended by the selection unit 63.
　本実施形態では、主に各収納容器４１が金種ごとに貨幣を収納する例を説明したが、本発明がこれに限定されるものではなく、各収納容器４１が複数金種の貨幣を金種混合状態で収納する態様であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, an example in which each storage container 41 mainly stores money for each denomination has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and each storage container 41 holds money of a plurality of denominations. It may be stored in a mixed state.
　本実施形態では、貨幣処理装置１０がカセット型とパウチ式の収納容器４１を併用する例を説明したが、本発明がこれに限定されるものではなく、貨幣処理装置１０がカセット型とパウチ式の少なくともいずれか一方の収納容器４１を用いる態様であればよい。また、収納容器４１がカセット型及びパウチ式とは異なる形式の容器であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, an example in which the money processing device 10 uses the cassette type and the pouch type storage container 41 in combination has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the money processing device 10 is the cassette type and the pouch type. Any aspect may be used as long as it uses at least one of the storage containers 41. Further, the storage container 41 may be a container of a type different from the cassette type and the pouch type.
　上述したように、本実施形態に係る貨幣処理装置１０は、複数の収納容器４１が回収される際に、予め設定された選択条件を満たすように１又は複数の収納容器４１を自動的に選択して、回収作業の担当者に報知する。担当者は、表示部２０に表示される情報を確認しながら回収作業を容易かつ効率よく進めることができる。また、担当者は、貨幣処理装置１０によって選択された収納容器４１とは別の収納容器４１を手動で選択して回収することができる。これにより、担当者は、状況に応じて回収作業を進めることができる。 As described above, the money processing device 10 according to the present embodiment automatically selects one or a plurality of storage containers 41 so as to satisfy a preset selection condition when a plurality of storage containers 41 are collected. Then, the person in charge of the collection work is notified. The person in charge can easily and efficiently proceed with the collection work while checking the information displayed on the display unit 20. In addition, the person in charge can manually select and collect a storage container 41 different from the storage container 41 selected by the money processing device 10. As a result, the person in charge can proceed with the collection work depending on the situation.
