Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cash depositing and dispensing machine and a cash collection system. [Background technology]

[0002] There is known a system for managing remaining cash at a cash register between the cash dispenser of the cash register and a management device that manages the cash in the cash dispenser (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The management device is provided with a deposit machine (cash processing machine) that at least accepts cash collected from the cash dispenser. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-063936 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, cash stored in cash depositing and dispensing machines is collected by, for example, security guards from a security company. Normally, when a cash depositing and dispensing machine collects surplus cash relative to the balance left in the cash depositing and dispensing machine, the machine only takes into account the cash stored in the cash depositing and dispensing machine and collects surplus cash relative to the balances of other cash handling machines.

[0005] However, when security guards from a security company visit to collect surplus money, their visit times vary, and they may collect surplus money from cash deposit and dispensing machines while cash is still stored in the cash processing machines for cash registers and other devices in the store.If the amount of cash in the store is known, the store's operator will calculate and subtract the amount from the remaining balance, manually adjust the remaining balance, and then collect the surplus money, but there is a risk of human error, such as calculation errors or input errors.In addition, when security guards from a security company collect the surplus money, they are unable to grasp the amount of cash in the store and will only collect the surplus money from the cash in the cash deposit and dispensing machines minus the remaining balance, so there is a high possibility that they will not be able to expect to collect a large amount of surplus money.

[0006] The present invention provides a cash depositing and dispensing machine and a cash collection system that can collect more surplus cash without causing human errors such as calculation errors or input errors. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A cash depositing and dispensing machine according to one aspect of the present invention is a cash depositing and dispensing machine having a storage unit that is capable of dispensing cash to a cash processing machine and storing cash deposited from the cash processing machine, and a detachable safe that stores some of the cash transferred from the storage unit for recovery, wherein when some of the cash in the storage unit is transferred to the safe, an amount to be left in the cash depositing and dispensing machine is subtracted from the inventory of the cash depositing and dispensing machine, and the amount of cash that has been withdrawn to the cash processing machine is added to calculate an amount to be recovered and transfer the amount to the safe.

[0008] A cash collection system according to one aspect of the present invention is a cash collection system including a cash depositing and dispensing machine and a cash handling machine, wherein the cash depositing and dispensing machine has a storage unit that is capable of dispensing cash intended for the cash handling machine and storing cash deposited from the cash handling machine, and a detachable safe that stores some of the cash transferred from the storage unit for collection, and is characterized in that when some of the cash in the storage unit is transferred to the safe prior to or at the time of the collection, an amount to be left in the cash depositing and dispensing machine is subtracted from the inventory of the cash depositing and dispensing machine, and an amount of cash that has been withdrawn to the cash handling machine is added to calculate an amount to be collected, and this amount is transferred to the safe. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a cash depositing and dispensing machine and a cash collection system that can collect more surplus cash without causing human errors such as calculation errors or input errors. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A cash depositing and dispensing machine and a cash collection system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 conceptually illustrates a cash collection system 11. The cash collection system 11 is installed in a store and includes a plurality of cash registers 12 installed in each sales floor or tenant of the store, and a teller machine 13 (cash deposit / dispensing machine) which is a cash deposit / dispensing machine for managing cash throughout the store and is installed in the back of the store. Each cash register 12 has a cash register main body 14 and a cash register cash handling machine 15 (cash processing machine) which is a cash deposit / dispensing machine that can store sales proceeds. The teller machine 13 can collect cash including sales proceeds from the cash register cash handling machine 15 of each sales floor or tenant.

[0013] The cash register main body 14 has a main body operation display unit 17 that displays information to an operator and receives operation inputs from the operator, and a main body control unit 18.

[0014] The cash register cash handling machine 15 comprises a cash register input section 21 into which cash is input from outside the machine, a cash register identification and counting section 22 that identifies and counts the cash input into the cash register input section 21 from outside the machine, a cash register denomination-specific storage section 23 that stores the cash identified by the cash register identification and counting section 22 by denomination and can dispense change from the stored cash by denomination, a cash register dispensing section 24 that dispenses cash dispensed from the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23 to the outside of the machine, a cash register operation display section 25 that displays to the operator and accepts operation inputs from the operator, and a cash register control section 26 that controls these. When the purchase amount of purchased items is determined and a cash transaction is selected, the cash register cash handling machine 15 stores the inserted cash in the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23, and if change is required, which is the difference between the inserted amount and the purchase amount, the change is dispensed from the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23 to the cash register dispensing section 24. In recent years, cash handling machines for cash registers that can be operated not only by store clerks but also by customers have become available.

[0015] The teller machine 13 is configured to be able to deposit sales proceeds from the cash register cash handling machines 15 installed in each sales floor or each tenant of the store. The teller machine 13 is also configured to be able to dispense change funds set for each cash register cash handling machine 15, which is cash intended for the cash register cash handling machine 15. The teller machine 13 includes a teller machine input unit 31 into which sales proceeds are input from outside the machine, a teller machine identification and counting unit 32 that identifies and counts the sales proceeds input into the teller machine input unit 31 from outside the machine, a teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 (storage unit) that stores cash identified by the teller machine identification and counting unit 32 by denomination and can dispense change funds from the stored cash by denomination, a teller machine dispensing unit 34 that dispenses cash dispensed from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the outside of the machine, a teller machine operation display unit 35 that displays to the operator and accepts operation inputs from the operator, and a teller machine control unit 36 ​​that controls these. The teller machine 13 is also provided with a detachable recovery safe 37 (safe), which is controlled by the teller machine control unit 36 ​​and which stores for collection some of the cash (sales proceeds) transferred from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33. The teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 is capable of dispensing cash (change reserve) for the cash register cash handling machine 15, and is also capable of storing cash (change reserve + sales proceeds) received from the cash register cash handling machine 15.

[0016] In a store, before opening (beginning of business), the person in charge of each cash register 12 usually dispenses the change fund for the cash register 12 they are responsible for from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 of the teller machine 13 and deposits the change fund into the cash register cash handling machine 15 of the corresponding cash register 12 as change. The corresponding cash register cash handling machine 15 then stores the deposited cash in the cash register denomination-specific storage unit 23. In this way, the store is prepared for opening. Note that before the change fund is deposited and stored in this way, no cash is stored in the cash register denomination-specific storage unit 23 of each cash register cash handling machine 15.

[0017] After the store opens, sales proceeds are generated by selling products to customers and depositing the purchase price, and the cash register 12 stores the sales proceeds inserted into the cash register input section 21 in the cash register cash handling machine 15 in the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23. That is, if the amount of money inserted into the cash register input section 21 in the cash register cash handling machine 15 is the same as the purchase price, the cash register 12 stores the money as sales proceeds in the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23. Also, if the amount of money inserted into the cash register input section 21 in the cash register cash handling machine 15 is more than the purchase price, the cash register 12 stores the money in the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23, and then pays out the difference in change, the difference between the inserted amount and the purchase price, from the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23 to the cash register dispensing section 24, and dispenses it to the customer.

[0018] Generally, after the store closes (ends business), the cash stored in the cash register denomination-specific storage section 23 of each cash register cash handling machine 15 is dispensed and collected by the cash register dispensing section 24 by the person in charge of each cash register 12, and the cash is then deposited into the teller machine 13 via the teller machine depositing section 31. The teller machine 13 then stores the deposited cash in the teller machine denomination-specific storage section 33. At this time, the cash deposited into the teller machine 13 includes the change reserve deposited into the cash register cash handling machine 15 of the register 12 before the store opens and the sales for that business day.

[0019] Therefore, at the end of the store's business for the day, the cash register 13 will store the sales proceeds and change reserves of all cash registers 12. In reality, the cash register 13 also stores a predetermined amount of reserve funds for store operation expenses and a spare change reserve fund that can be replenished for change. In this embodiment, these cash amounts are collectively referred to as the reserve fund. Furthermore, it is desirable that the cash register 13 and each cash register 12 be connected to each other so that they can communicate data with each other and understand each other's status, but this is not necessarily required.

[0020] In recent years, the sales proceeds thus stored in the store's cash dispenser 13 are generally collected by a security guard or the like from a security company who visits the store and stores them in a collection safe 37 that is different from the denomination-specific storage section 33 of the cash dispenser 13. At that time, the security guard or the like from the security company loads an empty collection safe 37 into the cash dispenser 13 in place of the collection safe 37 that had been loaded up until then, and the cash dispenser 13 is used for operation until the next visit. The collection safe 37 collected by the security company is then checked for sales proceeds, and the checked sales proceeds are deposited into the corresponding customer's account at the security company or the like.

[0021] Therefore, the cash dispenser 13 is capable of the following processing:

[0022] {Processing based on the operations of each cashier} When an authentication operation is performed on the cashier operation display unit 35, the cashier control unit 36 ​​identifies whether the cashier is a legitimate cashier, and if it certifies that the cashier is a legitimate cashier, it enables the next process in the cashier 13 based on the operation on the cashier operation display unit 35.

[0023] 1-1. Withdrawal processing of change reserve at opening time. 1-2. Dispensing process of additional change fund. The dispensing process of the additional change fund may be combined with the dispensing process of the opening-time change fund to be the dispensing process of the change fund. In this case, the operation menu displayed on the cashier operation display unit 35 during the dispensing process of the additional change fund may be a submenu or a lower-level menu of the operation menu displayed on the cashier operation display unit 35 during the dispensing process of the opening-time change fund. 1-3. Currency exchange processing. 1-4. Processing of interim deposits, such as collection of overflow coins from the cash handling machine 15 of the cash register 12. 1-5. Final inspection process at the time of closing the register (deposit process separate from interim deposit process). In addition, the cashier 13 may or may not be able to process the withdrawal of the opening change fund for the next day after the cashier has completed this scrutiny process.

[0024] {Processing based on the operation of the store's cash machine manager} When an authentication operation is performed on the cash register operation display unit 35, the cash register control unit 36 ​​identifies whether the person is a legitimate cash register manager, and if it authenticates that the person is a legitimate cash register manager, the cash register 13 enables the following processing in addition to the processing that each cashier can perform as described above or equivalent processing based on the operation on the cash register operation display unit 35.

[0025] 2-1. Status confirmation process of the teller machine 13. For example, the teller machine operation display unit 35 displays the storage information (including end, near end, near full, and full) of the teller machine's currency-specific storage unit 33, the storage information of the collection safe 37, and the like. 2-2. Status confirmation process for each cash register cash handling machine 15. For example, change reserve dispensing information, collection information, inspection information, etc. for the cash register cash handling machine 15 are displayed on the teller machine operation display unit 35. Closing process: To collect sales proceeds, a specified amount is collected and transferred from the cash register's denomination-specific storage section 33 to the collection safe 37, or an amount calculated automatically is collected and transferred from the cash register's denomination-specific storage section 33 to the collection safe 37. In addition, the cash register 13 allows the cash register manager to perform various other setting operations.

[0026] {Processing based on the actions of security guards at security companies} When an authentication operation is performed on the cash register operation display unit 35, the cash register control unit 36 ​​identifies whether the person in question is a legitimate collection officer, such as a security guard from a security company, and if it authenticates that the person in question is a legitimate collection officer, it enables the cash register 13 to perform the next process based on the operation on the cash register operation display unit 35. 3-1. Sales Receipt Collection Processing Sales revenue collection processing includes the collection of collection safes 37 containing sales revenue and the subsequent refilling of empty collection safes 37.

[0027] Next, FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the main functions of a control system 50 including the cash dispenser control unit 36 ​​of the cash dispenser 13.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2, the control system 50 has a cash register-specific change preparation amount memory unit 51, a cash register-specific settlement status memory unit 52, a cash register-specific actual settlement amount memory unit 53, a cash register inventory memory unit 54, an internal device inventory memory unit 55, a designated remaining amount memory unit 56, and a planned collection amount memory unit 57, all of which can communicate with the cash register control unit 36.

[0029] The cash register-specific change reserve amount storage unit 51 stores the change reserve amount set and prepared for each cash register 12 during the store's business day. Note that the amount of change to be replenished during business hours may be stored together with this amount or separately.

[0030] The cash register settlement status storage unit 52 stores, for each cash register 12, whether or not the sales amount has been finalized as a final settlement by finishing business on the business day or by closing the books.

[0031] The register-specific final settlement amount storage unit 53 stores the sales amount confirmed as the final settlement for each register 12.

[0032] The cash register inventory storage unit 54 stores the amount of change provided for each cash register 12. When the cash register 13 and each cash register 12 are connected so that data communication is possible, the cash register inventory storage unit 54 stores the inventory amount each time the sales amount increases as the transaction progresses. Note that, when the final settlement for each cash register 12 is executed, the sales amount for that cash register 12 is determined, and all cash, including change, for that cash register 12 is collected by the cash register 13, so the data in the cash register inventory storage unit 54 for that cash register 12 is cleared to zero.

[0033] The device inventory storage unit 55 stores the inventory in the cash dispenser 13. The inventory includes the reserve fund and the settled sales amount. For ease of understanding, let us assume that the withdrawal of the reserve fund (expense reserve fund and backup change reserve fund) is zero. If no change reserve fund is provided to any of the cash registers 12, the cash stored in the device inventory storage unit 55 will be equal to the total amount of the change reserve fund and the reserve fund planned to be provided to all of the cash registers 12 on that business day. If change reserve funds are provided to all of the cash registers 12 before the start of business on that business day, all of the cash in the cash dispenser 13 will be the reserve fund only, and the data in the device inventory storage unit 55 will be equal to the reserve fund.

[0034] The designated remaining amount memory unit 56 stores the total amount of the change fund and the reserve fund provided to all cash registers 12. In other words, it is equal to the sum of the total amount of the change fund stored in the cash register-specific change reserve amount memory unit 51 and the reserve fund. In reality, it is possible to store and change each amount value depending on the situation of the next day, for example, whether the next day is a weekend, holiday, event day, weekday, or other day when there are many transactions, but this explanation will be given taking the case where the amount values ​​are fixed as an example.

[0035] The planned collection amount memory unit 57 stores the planned collection amount, which is calculated by subtracting the total amount of change reserves and reserve funds for the next business day from the balance in the cash dispenser 13, and adding the change reserves in unsettled registers that have not yet undergone actual settlement (described below).

[0036] The above-mentioned cash register-specific change preparation amount memory unit 51, cash register-specific settlement status memory unit 52, cash register-specific actual settlement amount memory unit 53, cash register-specific cash register inventory memory unit 54, device-specific inventory memory unit 55, designated remaining amount memory unit 56, and planned collection amount memory unit 57 are incorporated into the control system 50 of the cash dispenser 13.

[0037] Next, the memory status of the cash register-specific change preparation amount memory unit 51, cash register-specific settlement status memory unit 52, cash register-specific actual settlement amount memory unit 53, and cash register-specific cash register inventory memory unit 54 in the cash dispenser 13 will be explained.

[0038] First, an example of data transition relating to an individual cash register cash handling machine 15 will be described with reference to FIG. 3, taking a certain cash register Rn as an example.

[0039] {before start} Before business hours begin, the cash dispenser 13 does not provide any change funds to any of the cash registers 12, and therefore, as shown in "Before opening" in Figure 3, the cash register settlement status memory unit 52 for a certain cash register Rn simply records that the final settlement was completed the previous day, as shown by "Settlement in Japan before" in the "Final settlement flag," and the data indicating the amount in various data areas is zero.

[0040] {Change Refill} In this state, the cashier at register Rn or a manager of the sales floor or the like visits the teller machine 13, receives authentication from the teller machine 13, and then causes the cashier to perform the dispensing process of the change fund (1-1. Dispensing change fund at store opening). In detail, when performing the dispensing process, the teller machine 13 can confirm that the authenticated cashier is the cashier at register Rn, and so the teller machine control unit 36 ​​displays the pre-stored change reserve amount for register Rn, for example, the amount "20,000," on the teller machine operation and display unit 35. When an operation to confirm this is input into the teller machine operation and display unit 35, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​causes the change reserve amount in the amount of "20,000" yen to be dispensed from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the teller machine dispensing unit 34. In more detail, the cash register operation display unit 35 may be configured to display at least one of the amount and number of coins of each denomination of the change fund, and depending on the authority of the cashier, it may be possible to increase the amount of change fund to be dispensed at the cash register 13.

[0041] When the change reserve is dispensed from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the teller machine dispensing unit 34, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​sets the amount "20,000" data in the register-specific change reserve amount memory unit 51 for the register Rn, as shown in "Change reserve amount" under "Change replenishment" in Fig. 3. With this setting, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​further automatically adds and sets the amount "20,000" data in the register-specific register inventory memory unit 54 for the register Rn, as shown in "Register inventory" under "Change replenishment" in Fig. 3.

[0042] The cashier at cash register Rn takes the change fund dispensed from the teller machine 13 and heads to the sales floor for which he or she is responsible, inserts the change fund into the cash register input unit 21 of the cash register cash handling machine 15 of the cash register 12 installed in the sales floor, and causes the cash register cash handling machine 15 to process the deposit of the change fund. As a result, the change fund is stored in the cash register denomination-specific storage units 23 of the cash register cash handling machine 15, sorted by denomination.

[0043] {Add change} As a large number of customer purchases occur on the sales floor, the cash register cash handling machine 15 of the cash register 12 may experience a shortage or decrease in certain denominations of cash. In such cases, based on information from the cash register cash handling machine 15, the main unit control unit 18 of the cash register main unit 14 displays an alarm on the main unit operation display unit 17 predicting a shortage of certain denominations of cash or an alarm recommending replenishment. When such a situation occurs at the cash register Rn, the cashier at the cash register Rn checks the contents of the alarm and then goes to the teller machine 13 to have the teller machine 13 perform an additional replenishment process for the certain denominations of cash predicted to be in short supply (1-2. Dispensing process of additional change reserve). In this additional replenishment process, unlike "1-1. Dispensing process of change reserve at opening time," the amount and / or number of each denomination is not determined in advance. Therefore, the dispense process at the teller machine 13 is performed by inputting at least one of the required amount and number of each denomination into the teller machine operation display unit 35.

[0044] When additional change funds are dispensed in this dispensing process, the cash register control unit 36 ​​adds and sets the amount "5,500" data, which is the additional replenishment amount, in the cash register-specific change reserve amount memory unit 51 for cash register Rn, or adds and sets the amount "5,500" data in the cash register-specific additional change amount memory unit (not shown), as shown in "Additional replenishment amount" under "Additional change" in Fig. 3. With this setting, the cash register control unit 36 ​​further adds and sets the amount "5,500" data in the cash register-specific cash register inventory memory unit 54 for cash register Rn, as shown in "Cash register inventory" under "Additional change" in Fig. 3, and the amount "25,500" is updated and stored.

[0045] After this dispensing process is completed by the cashier 13, the cashier at register Rn returns to the sales floor and has the cash processing machine 15 at register 12 deposit the change fund dispensed by the additional replenishment operation, just as in "1-1. Dispensing change fund at opening time."

[0046] {Partially recovered} On the other hand, as a large number of purchase transactions by customers occur on the sales floor, the cash register cash handling machine 15 of the cash register 12 may become full of cash of certain denominations. In such a case, based on information from the cash register cash handling machine 15, the main unit control unit 18 of the cash register main unit 14 displays a fullness relief alarm or a partial recovery recommendation alarm on the main unit operation display unit 17 to prompt the cash register Rn to relieve the fullness of cash of certain denominations. When such a situation occurs at the cash register Rn, the cashier at the cash register Rn checks the contents of the alarm and then causes the cash register cash handling machine 15 of the cash register Rn to perform a recovery / withdrawal process to dispense some of the cash of that certain denomination for recovery.

[0047] Generally, in a cash withdrawal process at cash register 12, the amount of cash to be partially withdrawn is specified and input to main unit operation display unit 17 based on the content of the alarm, for example, "50,000." Then, main unit control unit 18 controls cash register control unit 26 to execute a cash withdrawal process in which cash processor 15 dispenses "50,000" yen in cash from cash register denomination storage unit 23 to cash register dispensing unit 24. Alternatively, when a cash withdrawal operation is input to main unit operation display unit 17, main unit control unit 18 instructs cash register control unit 26 to automatically calculate the amount of cash to be partially withdrawn, recommend an amount of "50,000," for example, and display this amount "50,000" on main unit operation display unit 17 via main unit control unit 18. When the confirmation operation is input to the main unit operation display unit 17, the main unit control unit 18 controls the cash register control unit 26 to cause the cash processing machine 15 to execute the process of collecting and dispensing the 50,000 yen portion of cash.

[0048] When a withdrawal for partial recovery is made at the cash register cash processing machine 15 of the cash register Rn by either of the above methods, the cashier at the cash register Rn goes to the teller machine 13 and processes the collected and withdrawn cash to be deposited into the teller machine 13 (1-4. Interim Deposit Processing). Even in this interim deposit processing at the teller machine 13, there are two possible deposit processing methods. One is that, as described above, the cashier at the cash register Rn specifies the amount "50,000" for recovery and withdrawal through the recovery and withdrawal processing, and then the cashier at the cash register Rn inputs the amount "50,000" into the teller machine operation and display unit 35 while causing the teller machine 13 to execute the deposit processing. Alternatively, without inputting the amount "50,000" into the teller machine operation and display unit 35, the teller machine 13 automatically counts the cash inserted into the teller machine input unit 31 and displays the inserted amount as "50,000" on the teller machine operation and display unit 35. Then, when a confirmation / confirmation operation is input to the teller machine operation display unit 35, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​ends the deposit process. In either case, the amount data deposited and counted in the teller machine 13 through the intermediate deposit process will be printed as a receipt on the teller machine operation display unit 35 by the teller machine control unit 36, and the cashier at register Rn will take it home as a confirmation receipt for the sales floor.

[0049] As a result, in the cash dispenser 13, the cash dispenser control unit 36 ​​adds the amount "50,000" of the partial recovery amount to the interim deposit amount memory for the register Rn, as shown in "Interim Deposit Amount" of "Partial Collection" in FIG. 3, and sets it. At this time, the amount "50,000" of the partial recovery amount will eventually become the amount to be incorporated into the final settlement amount, so the amount "50,000" may be added and set in the register-specific final settlement amount memory unit 53, as shown in "Final Settlement Amount" of "Partial Collection" in FIG. 3. However, even if the amount "50,000" is added and set in the register-specific final settlement amount memory unit 53, as shown in "Final Settlement Amount" of "Partial Collection" in FIG. 3, since the processing performed is an interim deposit operation, the register-specific settlement status memory unit 52 for the register Rn remains "unsettled," as shown in the "Final Settlement Flag" of "Partial Collection" in FIG. 3.

[0050] {Book settlement} After the sales floor closes, or after closing time if a closing time is specified, the cashier or sales floor manager collects all cash from the cash register cash processing machine 15 of the cash register 12 at that time. Generally, when collecting all cash, the cashier outputs a receipt on the main operation display unit 17 of the cash register 12 that prints all cash withdrawals and at least the total amount withdrawn, and then moves from the sales floor to the teller machine 13. The cashier of cash register Rn then moves to the teller machine 13, receives authentication from the teller machine 13, and then deposits all collected cash (1-5. Main inspection process when closing the cash register). Here, the collected cash includes the sales and change reserve for that business day, and the amount excluding the change reserve that has been replenished or added up to that point is calculated as the sales for that business day.

[0051] That is, using the example shown in Figure 3 as an example, in this example, the "Final Settlement Flag" indicating that the final settlement of the "Final Settlement" has been made is updated from "Unsettled" to "Final Settlement", the "Final Settlement Amount" which is the result of the "Final Settlement" is set to the amount of "210,300", and the "Cashier Balance" after the "Final Settlement" indicates that the amount has been set to "0" as a result of the final settlement. Therefore, as shown in the example of "Final Settlement" in Figure 3, if the change reserve for that day is replenished and the "Cashier Balance" related to the change reserve is the amount of "25,500", then at the time of full collection, the total amount collected will be "235,800", which is the sum of the "Final Settlement Amount" amount of "210,300" and the cash register amount of "25,500". On the other hand, if the partial recovery amount of "50,000" is recovered midway, at the time of full recovery, the total amount recovered will be "185,800", which is the sum of the final settlement amount of "210,300" and the cash register balance of "25,500", or "235,800", minus the partial recovery amount of "50,000" during the business day.

[0052] The above is the trend of cash receipts and withdrawals at a certain cash register Rn in one day, and the cash register 13 stores such data for all cash registers 12.

[0053] [Sales collected into collection safe 37 by cashier 13, and collection of collection safe 37 by the security company]

[0054] Here, the cash in the teller machine 13, particularly the sales proceeds, are collected by the security company. In this case, the sales proceeds generally include the sales proceeds of all cash registers 12, and the "final settlement amount" in the example shown in Figure 3 is the total amount for all cash registers 12. Prior to or at the time of collection by the security company, a sales proceeds collection process is performed in which the cash is transferred from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 in the teller machine 13 to the collection safe 37 for collection.

[0055] {Sales collection processing by cashier manager} The sales proceeds collection process by the cash dispenser manager is a process in which a portion of the cash (sales proceeds) from each cash register cash processing machine 15 stored in the cash dispenser denomination storage section 33 in the cash dispenser 13 is transferred from the cash dispenser denomination storage section 33 to the collection safe 37 prior to collection outside the machine.

[0056] The teller machine operation and display unit 35 of the teller machine 13 authenticates the user as the store's teller machine manager, and the sales proceeds collection process is selected (2-3. Closing process). The teller machine control unit 36 ​​then performs a calculation process for the planned collection amount, as described below, and displays the planned collection amount on the teller machine operation and display unit 35. When an approval operation for the planned collection amount is input to the teller machine operation and display unit 35, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​executes a sales proceeds collection process in which cash of the planned collection amount is transferred from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37. Note that instead of approving the planned collection amount on the teller machine operation and display unit 35, it may be possible to modify the planned collection amount displayed on the teller machine operation and display unit 35, and once modified, collection may be made at the revised planned collection amount.

[0057] Here, when the teller machine 13 has authenticated that the person is the store's teller machine manager, the collection safe 37 cannot be removed. In other words, the teller machine manager cannot remove the collection safe 37. That is, when the sales proceeds collection process is executed in the teller machine 13, the amount of cash transferred to the collection safe 37 is transferred from the store to the security company and becomes the security company's cash. Then, after the security company collects the collection safe 37 and confirms the cash stored therein, the security company transfers an amount equal to the cash to the customer's account, and the sales proceeds are transferred to the store.

[0058] {Sales collection process by security guards, etc.} The sales proceeds collection process by the security company is a process in which a portion of the cash (sales proceeds) from each cash processing machine 15 stored in the cash dispenser denomination-specific storage section 33 is transferred from the cash dispenser denomination-specific storage section 33 to the collection safe 37 when it is collected outside the machine.

[0059] The teller machine operation display unit 35 of the teller machine 13 authenticates that the person is a security guard or the like for a security transportation company, and the sales proceeds collection process is selected (3-1. Sales Proceeds Collection Process). Then, before collecting the proceeds from the safe, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​checks from the processing record whether the sales proceeds have already been collected into the collection safe 37. If the proceeds have not been collected, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​executes a sales proceeds collection process in which the cash of the amount to be collected is transferred from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37. Note that when the security transportation company collects the proceeds, the teller machine operation display unit 35 does not need to display the amount to be collected; it only needs to instruct the start of the collection operation. In other words, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​automatically calculates the amount to be collected from the current inventory in the device using a calculation process for the amount to be collected, as described below, and executes the sales proceeds collection process according to the amount to be collected. When the sales proceeds collection process is completed, or when a display indicating that collection has been completed by a previous sales proceeds collection process performed by the teller machine manager is displayed, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​waits for an instruction to execute safe collection while displaying a collection instruction display for the collection safe 37, including the fact that safe collection (removal of the collection safe 37) is possible, on the teller machine operation display unit 35. When an instruction to execute safe collection is given, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​enables the opening and closing of a unit opening / closing unit such as a door (not shown) dedicated to attaching and detaching the collection safe 37 of the teller machine 13.

[0060] When a sensor (not shown) confirms that the unit opening / closing section has been opened and the collection safe 37 from which sales have been collected has been removed from the cash register 13, the cash register control section 36 switches the display on the cash register operation display section 35 from an instruction to collect the collection safe 37 to an instruction to load an empty collection safe 37, and waits for the empty collection safe 37 to be loaded.

[0061] Thereafter, when a sensor (not shown) confirms that an empty collection safe 37 has been loaded, the cash register control unit 36 ​​switches the display on the cash register operation display unit 35 to an instruction to close the unit opening / closing section such as a door, and when the sensor (not shown) confirms that the unit opening / closing section has been closed, the sales collection process is terminated.

[0062] In addition, in order to confirm that the collection of the collection safe 37 and the loading of an empty collection safe 37 are carried out reliably, the collection safe may be provided with an identification means such as an ID, and the loading section of the cash dispenser 13 into which the collection safe 37 is loaded may be provided with an identification reading means that reads identification information from the identification means.

[0063] Before explaining the calculation process for the estimated collection amount, an example of data transition for the entire store is shown below. Figure 4 shows an example of data before the store opens for business. Here, this data example will be explained assuming that on the previous business day, all cash registers 12 have completed final settlements and then had their sales collected by the security company. Therefore, there is no cash in the cash processing machines 15 for all cash registers R101-R104, R201-R204, and all of the "cash register balances" are zero. On the other hand, the "machine balances" of the teller machine 13 indicate that cash remaining in the teller machine 13 for the next day (in this case, the current day) is equal to a total of "379,024" yen, which is the sum of the change reserve for each cash register 12 (equal to the amount stored in the cash register change reserve amount memory unit 51) and the contingency fund of "252,564" yen.

[0064] In more detail, the cash remaining in the teller machine 13 is stored in each register cash handling machine 15 as a change reserve and a contingency fund for each register 12 so that change can be dispensed when necessary, and each register cash handling machine 15 must be able to be replenished with additional change reserves. Therefore, the required numbers of banknotes and coins of all denominations are set, but for the sake of simplicity, this will not be explained here. For the same reason, the amounts shown as examples are far from the required numbers of banknotes and coins of all denominations.

[0065] Figure 5 shows an example of data at the time when the change reserves were replenished in each cash register 12 just before the store opened for business. In the example data in Figure 5, the cash processing machines 15 for all cash registers R101 to R104 and R201 to R204 are loaded with change reserves, and the "cash register balance" for each indicates that the respective change reserve amounts have been set. On the other hand, the "machine balance" for the teller machine 13 indicates that "252,564" yen in cash remains, which is only the contingency fund.

[0066] Figure 6 shows an example of data as transactions progress in each sales area of ​​a store.

[0067] 6, the data example of Fig. 6 shows that the cash handling machine 15 of each of the cash registers R101 to R104, R201, R202, and R204, except for cash register R203, has stored the amount obtained by adding the change replenishment amount in the "Change replenishment" column to the sales amount in the "Sales" column, that is, the amount of cash stored in the "Cash in hand" column. In contrast, the cash handling machine 15 of cash register R203 shows a state in which, during a transaction, one of the denominations of cash became near full, and the cash was collected and deposited into the teller machine 13 as part of the sales amount.

[0068] That is, for cash register R203, the "13,000" yen in the "Partial Settlement" column is partially settled and collected from the cash register cash processing machine 15, and this "13,000" yen is deposited into the teller machine 13 by "1-4. Interim Deposit Processing", and as shown in the "Machine Inventory" column, "13,000" yen is recorded as the "Machine Inventory" for cash register R203, while the "Cash Inventory" column shows the amount obtained by adding the change replenishment amount "20,000" yen in the "Change Replenishment" column and the sales amount "124,056" yen in the "Sales" column, minus the partial settlement amount "13,000" yen in the "Partial Settlement" column, which is recorded as "131,056" yen. Therefore, in the teller machine 13, the "Machine Inventory" shows a state in which the partial settlement amount "13,000" yen of cash register R203 has been increased from the state in FIG. 5.

[0069] FIG. 7 shows a state in which some of the cash registers 12 have started the final settlement, following the state shown in FIG.

[0070] To make Fig. 7 easier to understand, the "Cash in hand" column in the second column from the left in Fig. 7 is assumed to match the "Cash in hand" column in the rightmost column in Fig. 6. In the state shown in Fig. 7, cash registers R101, R201, and R202 are shown to be in a state where the final settlement has not yet been made. Similarly, cash register R203 has not yet made the final settlement, but as shown in Fig. 6, it is shown to be in a state where partial settlement has been made. In contrast to these, cash registers R102, R103, R104, and R204 are shown to be in a state where the final settlement has been made.

[0071] As an example, in the case of cash register R102, when all the cash is collected from the cash register cash processing machine 15 of cash register R102 and deposited into the cash dispenser 13 (1-5. Main reconciliation process at cash register closing), the same settlement amount of "220,800" yen is counted and stored in the "cash register inventory." The cash dispenser control unit 36 ​​stores the amount of change provided to cash register R102, so it separates the settlement amount of "220,800" yen into the change refill amount of "10,500" yen and the sales amount of "210,300" yen and stores them. In addition, this settlement amount becomes the machine inventory of the cash dispenser 13, so it stores this amount and updates the total amount of the "machine inventory" of the cash dispenser 13.

[0072] {Calculation of expected recovery amount} As mentioned above, ideally, the sales proceeds would be collected by the security company after all cash registers R101 to R104 and R201 to R204 have completed their final settlement, but the time at which the security company comes to collect the sales proceeds may vary.

[0073] In this embodiment, in both the sales proceeds collection process by the teller machine manager and the sales proceeds collection process by the security company (security guards, etc.) described above, when the teller machine control unit 36 ​​transfers a portion of the cash in the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37, the teller machine 13 calculates the planned collection amount by subtracting the amount to be left in the teller machine 13 from the inventory of the teller machine 13 and adding the change reserve, which is the amount of cash that has been dispensed to the cash register cash processing machine 15 (i.e., has not been collected by the teller machine 13).The teller machine control unit 36 ​​then transfers the calculated planned collection amount of cash from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37.

[0074] The following explanation will be given taking as an example the case where the sales proceeds are collected by the security company in the state shown in Figure 7. For comparison, in the conventional calculation of the planned collection amount, if the set balance amount for the next business day is the example shown in Figure 4, as shown in Figure 8, the planned collection amount is calculated as "325,124 yen" obtained by subtracting the set balance amount shown in Figure 4, "379,024 yen", from the machine inventory amount "704,148 yen" of the cash dispenser 13 at the time of collection.

[0075] In contrast, in this embodiment, as shown in the example of Figure 7, the cash register control unit 36 ​​calculates and sets the expected collection amount by assuming that the cash registers R101, R201, R202, and R203 are not yet undergoing the settlement process and that the change reserve for these cash registers R101, R201, R202, and R203 is still remaining in the cash register cash processing machine 15, and deducts this amount.

[0076] That is, as shown in Figure 9, the cash register control unit 36 ​​subtracts the set balance amount shown in Figure 4 of "379,024" yen from the machine inventory of the cash register 13 at the time of collection of "704,148" yen, but assumes that there is no need to subtract the set balance amounts of registers R101, R201, R202, and R203 which have not performed this settlement process, and calculates and sets the planned collection amount of "396,234" yen by returning (adding) a total of "71,110" yen, which is the set balance amount of register R101 of "20,000" yen, the set balance amount of register R201 of "11,110" yen, the set balance amount of register R202 of "20,000" yen, and the set balance amount of register R203 of "20,000" yen.

[0077] In other words, the change reserve remaining in the cash register cash processing machine 15 of the cash register 12 in a state where the actual settlement process has not yet been performed will be deposited into the cash register 13 when the actual settlement process is performed later, so the cash register control unit 36 ​​sets the amount to be collected so that this amount is collected without being left over from the sales proceeds of the cash register 12 in a state where the actual settlement process has been performed.

[0078] As a result, the security company will not have to collect the sales proceeds of the cash register 12 that has undergone the final settlement process, leaving the change reserve of the cash register 12 that has not undergone the final settlement process, and the security company will be able to collect the sales proceeds of the cash register 12 that has undergone the final settlement process, enabling more realistic operations. That is, as shown just below the table in Figure 7, the amount equivalent to the sales proceeds that have been final settled by the cash dispenser 13 at this point is "396,234" yen, including partial settlement amounts, and the expected collection amount of "396,234" yen shown in Figure 9 is equal to this, so it is possible to prevent the collection of "325,124" yen, which is not equal to the amount of "396,234" yen equivalent to the sales proceeds that have undergone the final settlement process, as shown in Figure 8, or even is insufficient.

[0079] As described above, in the teller machine 13 of this embodiment, when the teller machine control unit 36 ​​transfers a portion of the cash in the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​subtracts the remaining amount to be left in the teller machine 13 from the inventory of the teller machine 13 and adds the change reserve, which is the amount of cash that has been dispensed to the cash register cash processing machine 15 (i.e., has not been collected by the teller machine 13), to calculate the expected collection amount. Then, the teller machine control unit 36 ​​transfers the calculated expected collection amount of cash from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37. Therefore, in the teller machine 13 of this embodiment, the security transportation company will not collect the change reserve of the register 12 that has not undergone the actual settlement process from the sales proceeds of the register 12 that has undergone the actual settlement process, and the security transportation company can collect the sales proceeds of the register 12 that has undergone the actual settlement, enabling more realistic operation. Therefore, the cash dispenser 13 of this embodiment can collect a larger amount of surplus sales revenue without causing human errors such as calculation errors or input errors.

[0080] In addition, the cash dispenser 13 is configured to be able to dispense the change reserve set for each cash register cash processing machine 15, which is cash intended for the cash register cash processing machine 15, so that it is possible to collect a larger amount of surplus sales money without causing human errors such as calculation errors or input errors.

[0081] In the cash collection system 11 of this embodiment, in the sales proceeds collection process by the teller machine manager and the sales proceeds collection process by the security company (security guards, etc.), when the teller machine control unit 36 ​​of the teller machine 13 transfers some of the cash in the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37, it calculates the planned collection amount by subtracting the amount to be left in the teller machine 13 from the inventory of the teller machine 13 and adding the change reserve, which is the amount of cash that has been dispensed to the cash register cash processing machine 15 (i.e., has not been collected by the teller machine 13).The teller machine control unit 36 ​​then transfers the calculated planned collection amount of cash from the teller machine denomination-specific storage unit 33 to the collection safe 37. Therefore, the cash collection system 11 of this embodiment does not require the security company to collect the sales proceeds of cash registers 12 that have undergone the final settlement process, leaving the change reserves of cash registers 12 that have not undergone the final settlement process, and the security company can collect the sales proceeds of cash registers 12 that have undergone the final settlement, enabling more realistic operations. Therefore, the cash collection system 11 of this embodiment can collect a larger amount of surplus sales proceeds, excluding the planned remaining balance, even in situations where the situation in the store is constantly changing, without causing human errors such as calculation errors or input errors.

[0082] <Modification> The above-described embodiment can be modified as follows. The menu screen 100 shown in Figure 10, which is displayed on the cash register operation display unit 35 (function setting means) by the cash register control unit 36 ​​of the cash register 13, has a selection button 101 labeled ``N. Other (various setting operations, etc.)'', and when this selection button 101 is selected on the menu screen 100, the cash register control unit 36 ​​displays the first screen 110 shown in Figure 11 on the cash register operation display unit 35.

[0083] This first screen 110 has a selection button 111 that reads "n. Cash register remaining balance consideration collection function," and when this selection button 111 is selected on the first screen 110, the cash register control unit 36 ​​displays the second screen 120 as shown in Figure 12 on the cash register operation display unit 35.

[0084] This second screen 120 has a selection button 121 that reads "Enables collection taking into account remaining cash register funds," and a selection button 122 that reads "Collection is performed without taking into account remaining cash register funds," and it is possible to select either option.

[0085] When the selection button 121 on the second screen 120 labeled "Enable collection taking into account remaining cash register balances" is selected, the cash register control unit 36 ​​is set to enable the addition function. When the addition function is enabled on the cash register operation display unit 35 in this way, the cash register control unit 36 ​​performs the above-mentioned calculation process for the expected collection amount taking into account remaining cash register balances to calculate and set the expected collection amount. In other words, when the addition function is enabled on the cash register operation display unit 35, the cash register control unit 36 ​​subtracts the remaining amount to be left in the cash register 13 from the inventory of the cash register 13, adds the amount of cash that has been withdrawn to the cash processing machine 15, and calculates the expected collection amount, and transfers this amount to the collection safe 37.

[0086] Furthermore, when the selection button 122 on the second screen 120 that reads "Collect without taking into account the cash register balance" is selected, the cash register control unit 36 ​​is set to disable the addition function. When the cash register operation display unit 35 is set to disable the addition function in this way, the cash register control unit 36 ​​calculates and sets the expected collection amount as the amount obtained by subtracting the entire set amount of remaining cash from the machine inventory of the cash register 13 at the time of collection, without taking into account the cash register balance. In other words, when the cash register operation display unit 35 is set to disable the addition function, the cash register control unit 36 ​​calculates the expected collection amount as the amount obtained by subtracting the remaining amount to be left in the cash register 13 from the inventory of the cash register 13, and transfers this amount to the collection safe 37.

[0087] The descriptions of the selection buttons 121 and 122 are not limited to these, and for example, the description of the selection button 121 may be "Consideration Collection" and the description of the selection button 122 may be "Simple Collection", or more simply, the description of the selection button 121 may be "Valid" and the description of the selection button 122 may be "Invalid". Alternatively, a setting method other than buttons may be used.

[0088] According to the above modified example, by setting whether to enable or disable the addition function using the cash dispenser operation display unit 35, it is possible to optionally subtract the remaining amount to be left in the cash dispenser 13 from the inventory of the cash dispenser 13, add the amount of cash that has been withdrawn to the cash processing machine 15, calculate the amount to be collected, and transfer this to the collection safe 37, or subtract the remaining amount to be left in the cash dispenser 13 from the inventory of the cash dispenser 13, calculate the amount to be collected, and transfer this to the collection safe 37.

[0089] In the above embodiments, the cash deposit / dispensing machine 13 and the cash handling machine for cash registers 15 are used as examples of the cash handling machine, and the cash collection system 11 including these are used as examples. However, the present invention can be applied to any cash deposit / dispensing machine and cash collection system including the same, as long as the cash deposit / dispensing machine has a storage unit that is capable of dispensing cash for the cash handling machine and of receiving and storing cash from the cash handling machine, and a detachable safe that stores some of the cash transferred from the storage unit for recovery, and that, when transferring some of the cash in the storage unit to the safe, subtracts the amount to be left in the cash deposit / dispensing machine from the inventory of the cash deposit / dispensing machine and adds the amount of cash that has been withdrawn to the cash handling machine to calculate an amount to be recovered and transfers this amount to the safe.
