Description

The present invention is a depositor management that can quickly detect when a depositor is in danger by managing the deposit time of the depositor when the depositor deposits sales proceeds of a store or the like into a deposit machine, for example. In particular, the present invention relates to a depositor management system in which an abnormality is determined on the depositing machine side when deposit processing is not performed within a predetermined time using security start time information of a store or the like to which the depositor belongs.

Conventionally, the depositor puts the sales proceeds of the store into the night safe, and the sales proceeds are secured by financial institutions and security companies. However, it is left up to the depositor himself to secure the safety until the depositor goes to the night safe window, and even if the depositor is attacked in the middle of the deposit, there is a possibility that it will not be detected immediately due to the action at night.

Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of this depositor, the deposit machine is seen as much as possible, such as downtown and convenience stores, and the place where the depositor's action is not clearly understood to be the purpose of deposit is selected and arranged. Yes.

When the abnormality information is displayed on the center display means 43, the controller of the monitoring center 4 instructs a predetermined coordinator to take appropriate measures.

The operation of the depositor management system of the first invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the flow of the control means 12 in the mode operation at the time of setting in the store 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

The depositor of the store 1 (in this case, the last person of the store 1) performs a setting operation via the mode setting means 11 when the store 1 is unattended when the store is closed (step 1). The control means 12 determines whether all doors and windows are closed (step 2). When there is no unwarned part, it is determined that safety is secured and the mode is shifted to the set mode (step 4). The control means 12 stores the set mode as a new security mode (step 5). If there is an unwarned place in step 2, the unwarned place is displayed, prompting the user to set again (step 3), and returning to step 1. The control means 12 transmits a set signal including the customer ID to the monitoring center 4 via the communication network 2 (step 6).

Next, the operation flow of the center control means 41 of the monitoring center 4 will be described with reference to FIG.
The center control means 41 receives the set signal from the store 1 via the transmission / reception means 40 (step 10). The center control means 41 transmits a set signal to the center storage means 42, and the set mode is stored in the center storage means 42 (step 11). The center control means 41 refers to the center storage means from the customer ID included in the received set signal and determines the deposit machine 3 used by the customer stored in advance (step 12). The center control means 41 transmits a set signal including a customer ID and predetermined time information to the determined depositing machine 3. (Step 13) Although the set signal is used here for convenience, it may not be a set signal as long as there is a customer ID and time information.

Next, a depositing process flow in the depositing machine 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
The depositor first presses the deposit button 301 on the deposit machine 3 (step 20), and inputs a customer ID number assigned in advance with the numeric keypad 302 (step 21). The entered customer ID number is compared with the customer ID stored in advance in the deposit machine storage means 34 and the deposit machine control means 33 determines whether or not it is valid (step 22). If it is determined that the collation is OK (valid), the bill and coin insertion slots 31 are opened (step 23). If it is determined that the verification is inappropriate, the fact is displayed on the deposit machine display means 32 (step 24). If the depositor is OK in step 22, the depositor inserts banknotes and coins from each insertion port 31 (step 25). The inserted bills and coins are counted for each denomination by the counting means 36, and the total amount is displayed as a deposit amount on the deposit machine display means 32 (step 26). The depositor presses the confirm button 304 when the displayed deposit amount is correct (step 27). The deposit machine control means 33 determines that the deposit process has been properly performed when the confirmation button 304 is pressed, and sends the deposit data including the deposit machine ID number and the customer code from the deposit machine transmission / reception means 35 to the fund management center (not shown). At the same time, the deposit data is stored in the deposit machine storage means 34 for each customer (step 28).

Next, the operation flow of the deposit machine control means 33 will be described with reference to FIG. When receiving the set signal from the monitoring center 4 via the deposit machine transmission / reception control means 35 (step 30), the deposit machine control means 33 stores the set time of the temporary customer in the deposit machine storage means 34 (step 31). . The depositing machine control means 33 sets the predetermined time information obtained from the set time information in the time measuring means 38 and starts the time measuring means 38 (step 32). The depositing machine control means 33 determines whether or not the depositing process has been properly performed by the time-up of the time counting means 38 (steps 33 and 34). If the deposit process is properly performed before the time is up (YES in step 34), the set time information (including predetermined time information) temporarily stored in the deposit machine storage means 34 is cleared (step 36). If the deposit processing is not properly performed at time-up (YES in step 33), the deposit machine display means 32 is notified of the depositor abnormality and is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 via the deposit machine transmission / reception means 35 ( Step 35).

Next, the operation flow of the deposit machine control means 33 will be described with reference to FIG. 6 regarding the depositor management system according to the second invention. The second depositor management system assumes a case where the depositor is not the final party. The system configuration of the second depositor management system is the same as that of the first invention.

When receiving the set signal from the monitoring center 4 via the deposit machine transmission / reception control means 35 (step 40), the deposit machine control means 33 temporarily stores the customer set time information in the deposit machine storage means 34 (step 41). ). The deposit machine control means 33 extracts the first predetermined time information and the second predetermined time information of the customer obtained from the set signal, and the customer's first predetermined time information extracted from the set time before the first predetermined time. It is determined whether or not an appropriate deposit process has been performed (step 42). The first predetermined time is a time that is set on the assumption that the depositor is not the last person of the store 1 and is deposited by the depositor before the store 1 is set. For example, “30 minutes” is set. It is remembered. If the deposit process is being performed (YES in step 42), the customer's set time information (including predetermined time information) is cleared (step 47). If the deposit process has not been performed (NO in step 42), the second predetermined time obtained from the set signal is set in the timing unit 38, and the timing unit 38 is activated (step 44). This second predetermined time is a time that is set assuming that the store clerk who is the last person of the store performs the store setting operation after the depositor leaves the store 1 to perform the deposit process, for example, “10 minutes” is stored. Usually, the first predetermined time is set longer than the second predetermined time. In the present embodiment, the first predetermined time and the second predetermined time are set and inputted to the center storage means 42 for each customer, but all customers may be set to the same time. The depositing machine control means 33 determines whether or not the depositing process has been properly performed by the time-up of the time counting means 38 (steps 45 and 46). If the deposit process is properly performed before the time is up (YES in step 46), the set time information (including predetermined time information) temporarily stored in the deposit machine storage means 34 is cleared (step 47). If the deposit process is not properly performed at time-up (NO in step 45), the depositer display unit 32 is notified of the depositor abnormality and is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 via the depositer transmission / reception unit 35 (step 43). ).

As described above, the depositing machine 3 has been described in the embodiment in which the set signal is received from the monitoring center 4, but this may receive the set signal directly from the control means 11 of the store 1.

Further, as described above, the depositing machine 3 has been described as an example including all configurations, but the depositing machine control means, the depositing machine transmission / reception means, the depositing machine storage means, and the timing means are devices separate from the depositing machine. May be.

Further, as described above, in the first and second inventions, the embodiment has been described in which the predetermined time is preset for each customer. For example, the predetermined time of all customers is a fixed time from the set time. Also good.

Further, as described above, the first and second inventions have been described in the embodiment in which the predetermined time is stored in the center storage means in advance and the predetermined time information is downloaded to the deposit machine together with the set signal. Even if the predetermined time information is not stored in the storage means, the predetermined time information (first and second) may be stored in advance for each customer in the deposit machine storage means.
