Description

  The present invention relates to a cashier (money management main body) and a money management device (money management terminal) configured to be able to communicate with each other, and a money management system including a cashier and a money management device.

  Utility model registration No. 2599232 discloses a money management device. In the money management apparatus, a storage is provided for each denomination, and a weight measuring unit is provided for each storage. The weight for each denomination is measured by the weight measuring means, and the number of bars for each denomination is calculated from the weight. The calculated number of bars is stored and displayed together with the measurement date and time. The measurement of the weight, the calculation of the number of bars, and the storage are performed every time the money management apparatus is operated (every time there is a data change).

  Such a device is used when the cash in the teller machine becomes too large to deposit when depositing. And when the cash in the teller machine decreases, cash is taken out from such a device and replenished to the teller machine.

  When such a device is used, the bank clerk enters the deposit amount or withdrawal amount in a ledger or the like when operating the deposit and withdrawal.

  However, a problem arises if the deposit / withdrawal amount entered in the ledger is different from the actual deposit / withdrawal amount. Since only the actual deposit / withdrawal amount can be measured on the device side, it cannot be examined whether the deposit / withdrawal amount entered in the ledger is correct. Further, such an apparatus does not manage who has performed the deposit / withdrawal operation (anyone can open and close the storage if it is a clerk). Therefore, for example, it is theoretically possible for a bank clerk to cheat the deposit / withdrawal amount.

  Moreover, in such an apparatus, since the management of the amount of money of a teller machine and a money management apparatus is not interlocked, it is difficult to manage them comprehensively.

  On the other hand, Japanese Patent No. 2726550 discloses a cash management system that can total the cash balances of a plurality of automatic transaction apparatuses. This cash management system can comprehensively manage the stocks of a plurality of automatic transaction apparatuses.

  However, in the cash management system described in this patent, the plurality of automatic transaction apparatuses and the cash organizer are not connected so as to be communicable. In addition, it is necessary to collect the inventory information by attaching and detaching the loading cabinet having the output means to and from a plurality of automatic transaction apparatuses and cash organizers, and the work is considerably complicated and troublesome. A considerable amount of time is expected to be managed in conjunction with each other.

That is, in this case, there are 3 bundles + 50 sheets of 10,000 yen banknotes, 1 bundle + 30 sheets of 5,000 yen banknotes, 1 bundle + 10 sheets of 2,000 yen banknotes, and 4 bundles + 80 sheets of 1000 yen banknotes.

  And a control means performs the payment instruction | indication of the loose banknote based on this result. On the other hand, about a banknote bundle, a control means performs different control according to the presence or absence of the bundle storage for every denomination. That is, for the denomination with the bundle storage (in this case, 10,000 yen and 1,000 yen), the withdrawal instruction of the stored banknote bundle is performed.

  On the other hand, for a denomination without a bundle storage (in this case, 5,000 yen and 2,000 yen), a withdrawal instruction for a bundle of bundled banknotes is performed after the accumulation of loose banknotes.

  That is, when the number of bundles of necessary bundled banknotes exceeds the number of possessed bundles, when the bundled banknote bundle in the bundle printing unit 5 reaches the number of retained bundles, the bundle dispensing operation is temporarily stopped and already formed. The bundled banknote bundle is put in a standby state in the bundle printing unit 5. On the other hand, when the required number of bundled banknote bundles is equal to or less than the number of possessed bundles, when the bundled banknote bundle in the bundle printing unit 5 reaches the number of bundles, all the bundled banknote bundles in the bundle printing unit 5 It will be in a standby state.

  Thereafter, after the accumulation of the stored banknote bundles on the lifting stage 20 is completed, the bundling dispensing operation is resumed (accumulation of the bundled banknote bundles is started). Then, the bundle of bundled banknotes (on the stored banknote bundle on the lifting stage 20) is performed until the necessary number of bundles is collected. Note that the banknote bundle B to be withdrawn (stored banknote bundle and bundled banknote bundle) is all accumulated on the lifting stage 20, and then the shutter 11 is opened and the bundle deposit / withdrawal port 10 is opened.

  Next, the content of the basic operation (control) related to the deposit process in the banknote handling apparatus of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

(1) Depositing operation of stored banknote bundle This is an operation for storing the banknote bundle B inserted into the bundle depositing / dispensing port 10 in the banknote bundle storage section 3 in the bundle banknote processing unit P1.

  Specifically, in the bundle bill processing unit P1 shown in FIG. 4, the shutter 111 is first opened to open the bundle deposit / withdrawal port 10, and the bill bundle B is inserted into the bundle deposit / withdrawal port 10. At this time, the stage 20 is raised to the dispensing position h2. At this time, the swing evacuation portion 4a of the transport means 4 swings from the transport position to the retract position and is retracted from the up-and-down passage 2. Moreover, the opening-and-closing plate 34 of the raising / lowering channel | path 2 is opened as needed. Next, the stage 20 on which the banknote bundle B is mounted is lowered, the stage 20 is lowered to the vicinity of the opening / closing plate 34 of the lifting / lowering passage 2, and the swing-back part 4a is returned from the retracted position to the transport position. The stage 20 is positioned such that the upper surface of the banknote bundle B mounted on the stage 20 is in contact with the lower surface of the transport belt 44.

  And the banknote bundle B mounted in the stage 20 is conveyed to the conveyance path C by the conveyance means 4, and the identification part D identifies the money type of the banknote bundle B. FIG. The banknote bundle B is put into one of the bundle storages 3a to 3c according to the denomination.

(2) Depositing operation of bundled banknote bundles This is a bundle storage 3a in which a bundle of rose banknotes B 'stored in the bulk banknote processing unit P2 is used as a banknote bundle B (bundled banknote bundle) in the bundled banknote processing unit P1. It is the operation | movement for accommodating in any of -3c.

  Specifically, first, in the loose banknote processing unit P2, loose banknotes are fed out from the denomination of the denomination corresponding to the banknote bundle B to be withdrawn (usually 5000 yen, 2000 yen rose storage). The sheet is fed out one by one by the mechanism and is conveyed along the dispensing conveyance path. The loose banknotes that have passed through the withdrawal identification unit are accumulated in the stacker (except for those sent to the withdrawal reject box) and conveyed to the bundled banknote processing unit P1 by the transport unit 6 as a bundle B 'of loose banknotes.

  A bundle B ′ of loose banknotes conveyed to the bundled banknote processing unit P <b> 1 shown in FIG. 4 is sent to the binding printing unit 5 by the conveyance unit 6. The bundle B 'of fed banknotes is bundled by a bundling band W by the bundling means 5a, and is fed to the lifting passage 2 by the conveying belts 58 and 59 as a banknote bundle B (bundled banknote bundle). In the meantime, the binding band W is subjected to predetermined printing or the like by the printer 5b and the line name stamp 5c, and is also stamped by the damaged ticket stamp 5d as necessary.

  The banknote bundle B fed to the elevating passage 2 is accumulated on the elevating stage 20 waiting at the receiving position h1 (if the stored banknote bundle is already accumulated). Then, the banknote bundle B is accommodated in any of the bundle storages 3a-3c by performing the above-mentioned "payment operation of the storage banknote bundle".

  In the present embodiment, a process including a process of conveying a bundle of bills inserted into the bundle deposit / withdrawal port 10 from the bundle deposit / withdrawal port 10 to the bill bundle storage unit 3 is referred to as a deposit process. Moreover, in this Embodiment, the process including the process which pays out the banknote in the banknote bundle storage part 3 from the banknote bundle storage part 3, and conveys it to the bundle depositing / withdrawing port 10 is called withdrawal process.

  Although the banknote processing units P1 and P2 have been described with reference to FIG. 4, the configurations of the coin processing units 112 and 113 can be easily inferred from the configuration of FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of the money management apparatus 200. As shown in FIG. 5, the money management apparatus 200 includes a first banknote storage drawer 211 that stores and stores 10,000 yen banknotes, a second banknote storage drawer 212 that stores and stores banknotes of other denominations, and 100 yen. The first coin storage drawer 213 that stores and stores 10 yen and 1 yen coins, the second coin storage drawer 214 that stores and stores 500 yen, 50 yen, and 5 yen coins, and securities other than cash are also input. And a preliminary storage drawer 215 that can be used.

  In addition, the money management apparatus 200 includes a control device 225 (control means) that controls the entire money management apparatus 200, a keyboard type operation unit 226 that gives various instructions to the control device 225, and a user (salesperson and management). And an ID card reader 228 that reads the contents of an ID card held by a user who performs an operation of depositing and withdrawing money into and from the storage.

  The content of the ID card, that is, the ID information stored in the ID card is an aspect of the user information, and the ID card reader 228 is an aspect of the user information acquisition unit. In the example of FIG. 5, a contact type ID card reader 228 is employed, but a non-contact type card reader may be employed. In addition to the ID card reader, similarly to the teller machine 100, a device for using face authentication, vein authentication, or the like may be employed.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the second banknote storage drawer 212 of the money management apparatus 200. As shown in FIG. 6, a bundle of banknotes of three kinds of denominations are regularly stored and stored in the second banknote storage drawer 212. In the example of FIG. 6, four banknote storage containers 221 to 224 are arranged inside the second banknote storage drawer 212, and the denomination of banknotes stored and stored is determined for each container. Moreover, the large bundle banknote which bundled 100 bundle banknotes for every 10 bundles may be stored and stored.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the second coin storage drawer 214 of the money management apparatus 200. As shown in FIG. 7, the second coin storage drawer 214 regularly stores and stores coins in the form of a bar of three types of denominations. In the example of FIG. 7, three coin storage containers 241 to 243 are arranged inside the second coin storage drawer 214, and the denomination of coins stored and stored is determined for each container.

  On the bottom surface of the coin storage container 241, a load cell 261 is provided as a measuring means for measuring the weight of coins stored and stored in the coin storage container 241. Since the details of the configuration of the load cell 261 are considered to be well known, a description thereof is omitted here.

The load cells 261 are similarly provided for the other coin storage containers 242 and 243 and the banknote storage containers 221 to 224. With such a configuration, the weight of money stored and stored is measured for each denomination.

  In addition, FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the preliminary storage (preliminary drawer) 215. As shown in FIG. 8, the reserve storage 215 is provided with an empty space 253 in which securities other than cash can be put in addition to the coin reserve storage unit 251 and the bill reserve storage unit 252.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram of the control device 225 of the money management device 200. The control device 225 is stored in a ROM 225d storing various programs and data, a RAM 225e serving as a program loading area and a work area during program execution, a hard disk drive 225g storing various programs and data, and a ROM 225d and hard disk drive 225g. An arithmetic control unit 225c that controls the entire money management apparatus 200 by executing a program or the like is provided.

  The calculation control unit 225c (calculation means) is connected to a load cell 261 (weight measurement means) provided corresponding to each denomination, and based on the output value of the load cell 261, the weight of stored and stored money The amount of money corresponding to can be calculated. The hard disk drive 225g stores the amount of money calculated by the arithmetic control unit 225c (storage means).

  In this embodiment, here, the ID information (user information) read by the ID card reader 228 is also made to correspond to the calculated amount of money (the amount stored and stored after the deposit / withdrawal operation). To be remembered.

  In the present embodiment, the amount of money to be deposited / withdrawn from the storage is input in the keyboard type operation unit 226 (input unit), and the arithmetic control unit 225c serves as a scrutinizing unit. The amount calculated from the output value of the load cell 261 and the amount input by the keyboard type operation unit 226 can be scrutinized.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the money management apparatus 200 includes a communication interface (communication IF) 229 that performs data communication with the teller machine 100. Thereby, the money management apparatus 200 (money management terminal) and the teller machine 100 (money management main body machine) can mutually communicate.

  In addition, the control device 225 of the present embodiment is connected to the open / close electromagnetic locks 211m to 215m provided in the drawers 211 to 215 as lock control means. It is possible to switch between a possible open state and a locked state in which money cannot be deposited or withdrawn.

  As a condition for this switching control, user verification is employed in the present embodiment. Specifically, for example, ID information (user information) of a user set in advance as an authorized person is stored in the hard disk drive 225g and is read by the ID card reader 228 (user information acquisition means). The information is collated with the ID information of the authorized person by the arithmetic control unit 225c as the user identifying means. Only when the result of the collation is YES, that is, when the ID information read by the ID card reader 228 matches the ID information of the user set as a permitted person in advance, the control device 225 can open and close the electromagnetic lock 211m˜ 215m can be controlled to be in an open state in which money can be stored / removed.

  As another switching control condition, in this embodiment, collation information collation can be employed in addition to user collation. Linkage information is, for example, operation information set for each deposit / withdrawal operation, and is usually data on the denomination and amount of deposit / withdrawal, but includes data related to the procedure of deposit / withdrawal operation (for example, linkage number) There is also a possibility. As a specific mode of collation information collation, for example, collaborative information set in advance as a permission operation is transferred and stored in the RAM 225e, for example, using the communication function from the teller machine 100. A corresponding four-digit cooperation number can be input by the keyboard type operation unit 226 (cooperation information acquisition means). Then, the input 4-digit linkage number information can be collated with the linkage number in the linkage information transferred and stored by the arithmetic control unit 225c as the operation identification means. In this case, only when the collation result is YES, that is, when the input 4-digit cooperation number matches the cooperation number in the cooperation information of the permitted operation that has been transferred and stored, the control device 225 opens and closes the open / close electromagnetic The locks 211m to 215m can be controlled so that money can be deposited and withdrawn. As described above, the linkage number is linkage authentication information used to link the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 in the money deposit / withdrawal process between the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200. The linkage number is generated for each money deposit / withdrawal process, and is used to identify or authenticate the money movement process between the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200. The cooperative authentication information is not necessarily a number, and may be a specific character or symbol.

  In this aspect, preferably, the open / close electromagnetic locks 211m to 215m can be individually controlled in accordance with the specific contents of the deposit / withdrawal operation. Specifically, only the drawer that stores the denomination that is to be deposited / withdrawn can be switched to the open state. Furthermore, it is also possible to employ a control mode in which each drawer is sequentially switched to an open state so that a plurality of drawers are not simultaneously opened.

  On the other hand, when it is essential to input the linkage number for each deposit / withdrawal operation, it can be said that the deposit / withdrawal process between the depositing / dispensing machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 is preferable in terms of security and avoiding duplication of a plurality of processes. . However, when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are arranged close to each other, the transfer of cash between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 is usually executed immediately. For example, the operator takes out money from the cashier 100 and then puts the money into the money management apparatus 200 immediately thereafter. For this reason, even if the input of the cooperation number is omitted, there is no problem in terms of security, and a plurality of processes do not overlap. Rather, if it is necessary to input a linkage number every time a deposit / withdrawal operation is performed, it is cumbersome for the operator and the operability may be impaired.

  Accordingly, the teller machine 100 according to the present embodiment needs to input the cooperation number so that the input of the cooperation number can be omitted when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are arranged close to each other. Can be selected. The operator can select one of the necessity of the cooperation number on the keyboard type operation unit 16.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the following configuration is further adopted by utilizing the fact that the money management device 200 (money management terminal) and the teller machine 100 (money management main body) can communicate with each other. Has been.

  The control unit 15 of the teller machine 100 (money management main unit) uses a communication function to check and / or scrutinize the cash data remote check unit of the money management device 200 (money management terminal). It is configured to function as. Specifically, the control unit 15 of the teller machine 100 (money management main unit) can control the arithmetic control unit 225c, which is a scrutinizing means, via the communication interface (communication IF) 19 and the communication interface (communication IF) 229. It is like that.

  In addition, a notification device (alarm device) 280 that outputs a notification signal when the drawers 211 to 215 are open for a predetermined time or longer is further provided. For example, after the operator opens any of the drawers 211 to 215 in order to take out money from the money management apparatus 200, the notification apparatus 280 operates when the open state continues for a predetermined time or more. In order to stop the notification device 280, the administrator needs to stop the alarm of the notification device 280. Even when it is set that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the notification device 280 preferably operates in the same manner.

  A key detection unit 290 in FIG. 9 is a sensor device that detects when the drawer is opened and closed when the money management apparatus 200 is powered off. This is a new technology at least in the technical field, but since it is not directly related to the concept of the present invention, a description thereof is omitted here.

  Further, in the operation of the cooperation between the money management apparatus 200 and the cashier machine 100, if the storage becomes full when money is deposited in the cashier machine 100, the process is interrupted even during the depositing process. The money in the storage can be transferred to the money management apparatus 200, and when the transfer is completed, the deposit process can be resumed. If the storage becomes empty while dispensing money from the cashier 100, the process is interrupted even during the withdrawal process, and the money stored in the money management apparatus 200 is deposited. When the machine 100 is loaded and the loading is completed, the withdrawal process can be resumed.

  As described above, when money is moved between the money management device 200 and the cashier 100 during the deposit / withdrawal process, the money type and number of money to be moved, and the amount of money are exchanged between the devices. And make sure that money has been transferred correctly.

  Next, an operation example of the money handling system described above will be described with reference to a flowchart.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of an example of a deposit / withdrawal operation preparation process on the cashier 100 side. First, ID information of the operator of the teller machine 100 is read by the ID card reader 15b (STEP 11). Based on the ID information, it is identified whether or not the operator is an operation authorized person of the teller machine 100 (STEP 12).

  If the user is an authorized person, the operation menu of the teller machine 100 is displayed on the display unit 15a (STEP 13). While viewing the display, the operator (operation authorized person) inputs the processing content using the keyboard type operation unit 16 (STEP 14). Here, the display unit 15a may display whether or not it is necessary to input a cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 as a processing menu. Then, the operator uses the keyboard-type operation unit 16 to select whether or not to input the cooperation number, and selects takeout / storage.

  Next, the display unit 15a displays a supplier menu (STEP 14-1). While looking at the display, the operator uses the keyboard type operation unit 16 to select a business partner (STEP 14-2). In the present embodiment, the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100 displays different supplier menus depending on whether or not the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100. The supplier menu will be described later (see FIG. 22D).

  Thereafter, in this example, in order to further improve the security, a password input is requested (STEP 15).

  After collation of the passwords, the operator (operation authorized person) inputs details of the deposit / withdrawal operation using the keyboard type operation unit 16 (STEP 16). Specifically, the denomination and the number of bundles or the number of pieces of money to be deposited / withdrawn are input. Thereafter, the input completion is detected by the operation of the input completion key by the operator (STEP 17). The control unit 15c of the teller machine 100 creates linkage information (processing queue) including the details of the inputted deposit / withdrawal operation and the linkage number. The control unit 15c generates a linkage number corresponding to the deposit / withdrawal process, and stores the linkage number in the hard disk 15g as linkage information in association with the detailed contents of the deposit / withdrawal operation. The linkage number generated in the teller machine 100 is stored as first linkage authentication information used for specifying or authenticating the money movement process. If the deposit / withdrawal operation includes a deposit / withdrawal operation in the money management apparatus 200, an open request (described later) is transmitted via the communication line if the operator has the authority to operate the money management apparatus 200. . Thereby, the money management apparatus 200 can skip an operation input screen to a cooperation number input screen. Here, the cooperation information has not yet been transmitted to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 18).

  When it is selected that it is necessary to input the linkage number in the money management apparatus 200 (YES in STEP 18-1), the receipt issuing unit 18 performs authentication printing including the linkage number on the receipt or the transaction slip, and then receives the receipt or transaction. A slip is issued (STEP 19). Thereby, the operator can input the cooperation number described in the receipt in the money management apparatus 200. The cooperation number input in the money management apparatus 200 is used as second cooperation authentication information that is compared with the first cooperation authentication information in order to identify or authenticate the money movement process. If the operator correctly inputs the cooperation number described in the receipt, the second cooperation authentication information should match the first cooperation authentication information. Thereby, the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 can specify or authenticate a desired process from a plurality of processes.

  On the other hand, when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number in the money management apparatus 200 is not required (NO in STEP 18-1), the receipt or the transaction slip is not issued. That is, the teller machine 100 generates linkage information and stores the linkage information in the hard disk 15g, but does not print. Then, the teller machine 100 transmits the processing queue to the money management apparatus 200 via the communication IF 229 without receiving the request signal from the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 18-2). The linkage number is a number, symbol, or character that is randomly generated, unlike a serial number. Therefore, even if a plurality of processes overlap, the cooperation numbers do not overlap and are not similar.

  The necessity of inputting the cooperation number may be selected until the generation of the cooperation number (STEP 18). Therefore, the necessity of inputting the cooperation number may be selected for each deposit / withdrawal process, but may be selected when the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are installed. For example, at the time of installation of the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200, by selecting that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the input of the cooperation number becomes unnecessary in all subsequent processes. This eliminates the need for the operator to select the necessity of inputting the cooperation number for each process, and further improves the operability of the money management system.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart of an example of a deposit / withdrawal operation preparation process in the money management apparatus 200. First, the money management apparatus 200 determines whether or not the processing queue has already been received (STEP 20). When it is selected in STEP14 of FIG. 10 that the input of the cooperation number is necessary, the teller machine 100 does not execute STEP18-2. Therefore, the money management apparatus 200 has not received the processing queue at this time (NO in STEP 20). In this case, the ID information of the operator of the money management apparatus 200 is read by the ID card reader 228 (STEP 21). Based on the ID information, it is identified whether or not the operator is an operation authorized person of the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 22).

  If it is an operation authorized person, the operation menu of the money management apparatus 200 is displayed on the display unit 227 (STEP 23). While viewing the display, the operator (operation authorized person) inputs processing contents from the keyboard type operation unit 226 (STEP 24).

  First, the case where a cooperation process with the teller machine 100 is selected will be described first.

  When the cooperation process is selected, in this example, in order to further improve the security, a password input is requested (STEP 25).

  After collation of the personal identification number, the operator (operation authorized person) inputs the cooperation number issued by the cashier 100 from the keyboard type operation unit 226 (STEP 26).

  The linkage number is issued as a result of identification of the operator's ID information and the input of the personal identification number in the teller machine 100. Therefore, as another embodiment, the operator of the teller machine 100 can receive money. If the person has the operation authority of the management apparatus 200, only the input of the cooperation number is requested here, and the above input request of the ID information and the personal identification number can be omitted.

  In response to the input of the cooperation number as the second cooperation authentication information, the money management apparatus 200 makes an inquiry to the teller machine 100.

  The teller machine 100 searches for the linkage information stored in the hard disk 15g using the linkage number (second linkage authentication information), and the linkage information (removal) corresponding to the linkage number (second linkage authentication information). / Drawer opening / closing procedure data may be included in addition to the denomination or money amount data to be stored, and sent to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 27). That is, the control unit 15c of the teller machine 100 compares the second cooperative authentication information with the first cooperative authentication information, and if the first cooperative authentication information and the second cooperative authentication information match, Information is transmitted to the money management device. The money management apparatus 200 displays a part or all of the information for the operator's confirmation (STEP 28). After confirmation, completion of take-out / storage preparation is detected by the operation of the input completion key by the operator (STEP 29). In order to further improve operability, STEP 29 may be omitted.

  After that, money storage processing or removal processing is performed based on the details of the extraction / storage operation included in the cooperation information (STEP 30), and when the keyboard-type operation unit 226 inputs that the processing is completed, The cooperation information is updated and stored in the hard disk 225g (STEP 31). At the same time, the cooperation information is also transmitted to the teller machine 100 via the communication line, and the cooperation information in the teller machine 100 is updated as processed.

  On the other hand, when it is selected in STEP14 of FIG. 10 that the input of the cooperation number is not necessary, the teller machine 100 transmits the processing queue in STEP18-2 of FIG. Accordingly, since the money management apparatus 200 has already received the processing queue (YES in STEP 20), STEP 21 to STEP 26 can be omitted and the processing can be started from STEP 27. In this case, since it is presumed that the operator operates the money management apparatus 200 immediately after the operation of the teller machine 100, it is difficult to cause a security problem and a problem in which a plurality of linkage processes are duplicated. Therefore, it is preferable to simplify the input items in the cooperation process between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 and to emphasize operability. At this time, it is not necessary to select a processing menu in STEP24. This is because the money management apparatus 200 can know the contents of the cooperation processing from the cooperation information (processing queue).

  Of course, the money management apparatus 200 may execute STEP 21 to STEP 25 and skip only STEP 26.

  Thereafter, the money management apparatus 200 may execute STEP28 to STEP31. However, in order to further improve operability, the money management apparatus 200 may further skip STEP29. Thereby, after the operation in the cashier 100 is completed, the operator can immediately execute the storing process or the taking-out process in the money management apparatus 200. That is, when the operation on the teller machine 100 is completed, a predetermined drawer among the drawers 211 to 215 of the money management apparatus 200 is automatically opened, and the operator immediately executes the money storing process or the taking process. be able to.

  In the present embodiment, even if it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, if the operator is a specific operator, the teller machine 100 prints the cooperation information on the receipt, and the money The management apparatus 200 may request input of a cooperation number. For example, when the subordinate authority such as the teller shown in FIG. 17 is the operator, the teller machine 100 can input the cooperation number regardless of the selection of the necessity of inputting the cooperation number to enhance security. Judge that it is necessary. In this case, the teller machine 100 issues a receipt on which the cooperation information is printed (STEP 19 in FIG. 10), and the money management apparatus 200 executes STEP 21 to STEP 26 in FIG.

  The teller machine 100 stores ID information of tellers and teller persons in advance, and can specify an operator at the time of acquiring the ID information in STEP 11 of FIG. Thereby, the teller machine 100 can recognize whether the operator is a lower authority or a higher authority.

  When the operator is a subordinate authority, the teller machine 100 uses the linkage number (first linkage authentication information) generated by the teller machine 100 and the linkage number (second linkage) input by the money management apparatus 200. Authentication information). When these linkage numbers match, the transmission / reception unit of the teller machine 100 sends the linkage information to the money management apparatus 200.

  If the operator is a cashier, the process is executed according to the selection of whether or not to input a linkage number. That is, when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the issue of the receipt printed with the cooperation information and the input of the cooperation number are omitted.

  Accordingly, whether or not the cooperation number needs to be input can be determined in consideration of the authority of the operator without depending on only the selection of the operator. As a result, this embodiment can be operated not only with improved operability but also with improved security.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, even if it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is not required, if the amount of money to be processed exceeds a predetermined amount, the teller machine 100 receives the cooperation information as a receipt. The money management apparatus 200 may request the input of the cooperation number. For example, the teller machine 100 stores a predetermined amount (for example, 10 million yen) in the hard disk 15g, and determines whether or not the amount input in STEP 16 of FIG. 10 exceeds the predetermined amount. When the input amount exceeds the predetermined amount, the teller machine 100 determines that the input of the cooperation number is necessary regardless of the selection of whether or not the input of the cooperation number is necessary in order to enhance the security. In this case, the teller machine 100 issues a receipt on which the cooperation information is printed (STEP 19 in FIG. 10), and the money management apparatus 200 executes STEP 21 to STEP 26 in FIG. In this case, the teller machine 100 compares the cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information) generated by the teller machine 100 with the cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information) input by the money management apparatus 200. . When these linkage numbers match, the transmission / reception unit of the teller machine 100 sends the linkage information to the money management apparatus 200.

  If the amount to be processed is less than or equal to the predetermined amount, the process is executed according to the selection of whether or not to input the cooperation number. That is, when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the issue of the receipt printed with the cooperation information and the input of the cooperation number are omitted.

  Thereby, whether or not the input of the cooperation number is not dependent only on the selection of the operator, and can be determined in consideration of the amount of money to be processed. As a result, this embodiment can be operated not only with improved operability but also with improved security.

  The necessity determination of the cooperation number input according to the authority (ID information) of the operator may be combined with the necessity determination of the cooperation number input according to the amount of money to be processed. For example, the input of the cooperation number may be omitted only when the operator is a higher authority and / or when the amount of money to be processed is equal to or less than a predetermined amount.

  When it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, it is estimated that the operator operates the money management apparatus 200 immediately after the operation of the cashier 100. However, in practice, the operator may not be able to operate the money management apparatus 200 immediately after operating the teller machine 100. Alternatively, the drawer may be closed without properly performing the money movement process on the money management apparatus 200. In these cases, since the money movement process has not been completed, other processes in the money management system may stagnate or overlap. Therefore, even when it is selected that the input of the linkage number is unnecessary, the operation of the money management apparatus 200 needs to be limited to a predetermined time (for example, within 30 seconds) after the operation of the teller machine 100. is there. This predetermined time is stored in advance in the hard disk 15g of the teller machine 100. For example, the predetermined period is counted by the control unit 15c starting from the time when the cooperation information is generated. Further, when the drawer of the money management apparatus 200 is closed, a close signal is transmitted from the money management apparatus 200 to the teller machine 100.

  If a predetermined time has elapsed after operation of the teller machine 100, or if the drawer of the money management apparatus 200 is closed without any processing of money after the operation of the teller machine 100, the teller machine 100 is associated with the linkage information. May be issued, and the money management apparatus 200 may request input of a linkage number. That is, the money management system may execute the same operations (STEP 19, STEP 21 to STEP 26) as those selected when it is necessary to input the linkage number. Thereby, even if a plurality of processes are duplicated, the operator can continue the process by inputting the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 later. In this way, the operator can operate the money management apparatus 200 after a while after operating the teller machine 100. Therefore, the operability and security of the money management system can be further improved.

  If a predetermined time has elapsed after operation of the teller machine 100, or if the drawer of the money management apparatus 200 is closed after the operation of the teller machine 100 without being processed, the notification device 280 as described above. May be activated. In this case, the drawer lock of the money management apparatus 200 is locked again. The notification device 280 needs to be stopped by the administrator.

  Further, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the operation of the teller machine 100 or when the drawer of the money management apparatus 200 is closed without any money being processed after the operation of the teller machine 100, the teller machine 100 displays the linkage information. The change of the printing or the movement process of money may be selectable. For example, the teller machine 100 displays on the display unit 15a so that it is possible to select the printing of the cooperation information or the change of the movement destination of money.

  When the operator selects printing of the cooperation information, the teller machine 100 issues a receipt on which the cooperation information is printed. The operator inputs the cooperation number printed on the receipt in the money management apparatus 200. When the linkage number (first linkage authentication information) generated by the teller machine 100 matches the linkage number (second linkage authentication information) input by the operator, the suspended money processing is continued. .

  When the operator selects change of the currency destination, the teller machine 100 displays a menu of the currency destination. The destination menu may be a hand held other than the money management apparatus 200, a safe, or the like. The operator selects the money movement destination from the menu and processes the money. This operation can be used when the move destination of money is changed or when the move destination of money is wrong (processing selection is wrong).

  Next, a case where a single process in the money management apparatus 200, that is, a local process that is not based on cooperation information received in advance from the teller machine 100 will be described.

  When single processing is selected, in this example, in order to further improve security, a password input is requested (STEP 125). The single process of the money management apparatus 200 is a process that is not based on the cooperation information received in advance from the cashier 100, and the cooperation information corresponding to the process is an uncreated process. Therefore, unlike the cooperation process based on the cooperation information received from the teller machine 100, the input request for the ID information and the password cannot be omitted.

  After collating the passwords, the operator (operation authorized person) inputs details of the take-out / storage operation from the keyboard type operation unit 226 (STEP 126). Specifically, data of the denomination and number of bundles or number of objects to be taken out / stored are input. Thereafter, the input completion is detected by the operation of the input completion key by the operator (STEP 127).

  The money management apparatus 200 creates local processing information (also referred to as a local processing queue) as processing information including details of the input take-out / storage operation, and as part of the local processing information for the local processing information. And local processing information including the correspondence between the local processing number and the actual contents of the actual take-out / storage operation is stored in the hard disk 225g, and the local processing information is stored via the communication line. It transmits to the teller machine 100. If the communication line is disconnected at this time, the local processing information is held in the money management apparatus 200, and then transmitted to the teller machine 100 when the communication line is connected. Before the local processing information related to the single processing in the money management apparatus 200 is transmitted, the teller machine 100 has no information related to the single processing. Therefore, the local processing information related to the single processing is all without exception. It transmits to the teller machine 100.

  Thereafter, the money storing process or the extracting process is performed based on the details of the extracting / storing operation included in the local processing information (STEP 128), and an input to the effect that the process is completed is performed from the keyboard type operation unit 226. The local processing information is updated and stored in the hard disk 225g (STEP 129), and the local processing information is also transmitted to the teller machine 100 via the communication line, and the local processing information in the teller machine 100 is updated. The Similarly to the above, if the communication line is disconnected at this time, the local processing information is held in the money management apparatus 200 and then transmitted to the teller machine 100 when the communication line is connected. If the local processing information cannot be transmitted to the teller machine 100 and has not been transmitted when the local processing information is created, only the updated local processing information is transmitted after the extraction / storage operation is completed. May be.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the interrupt collection process when any of the storage boxes becomes full while depositing into the cashier machine 100. In the present embodiment, when any of the storage boxes (for example, 3a to 3e in FIG. 4) becomes full while depositing money into the teller machine 100, the process is interrupted even during the depositing process. Then, the full currency of the storage is transferred to the money management apparatus 200 (or handheld). After the money in the storage is transferred to the money management apparatus 200 (or handheld), the deposit process is resumed. Hand-held is money managed by an operator (for example, a bank employee) at hand. The money on hand is managed in the teller machine 100 as the amount on hand with the money stored in the money management device 200 (see FIG. 12).

  First, in the teller machine 100, a full (full state) occurs in any of the storage boxes during the deposit process (STEP 100). For example, when the full detection unit 39 in FIG. 4 detects the elevating stage 30, the teller machine 100 recognizes that the full has occurred. The teller machine 100 displays “1. Cancel” or “2. Interrupt collection” on the display unit 15a (STEP 110). “1. Cancel” is a process of canceling the deposit process itself performed at that time. “2. Interruption collection” is a process of interrupting the deposit process and collecting money from the storage of the cashier 100 to the money management apparatus 200 or handheld. The operator selects either “1. Cancel” or “2. Interrupt collection”. However, when a part of the money deposited by the depositing process is already stored in the storage 3, the depositing process is temporarily interrupted when the operator selects “1. Cancel”. Thereafter, when the operator logs in again with the same ID and selects the same process, the process is continued.

    When the operator selects “2. Interrupt collection” in STEP 110, the teller machine 100 next displays an interrupt collection cassette selection screen on the display unit 15a (STEP 120). The interruption collection cassette is, for example, a bundle storage that is a target of money collection among the bundle storages 3 a to 3 e of the storage 3. At this time, the storage state of each bundle storage is displayed on the display unit 15a, and the operator can check the amount of money in each bundle storage as well as the full bundle storage. The operator selects a storage for collecting money from the storage. At this time, the operator may select not only full storage but also close storage.

  Next, the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100 displays a supplier menu. The operator selects a supplier from whom money is collected from the supplier menu (STEP 130). At this time, when the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 is included in the supplier menu. A specific example of the supplier menu in this case is shown in FIG. 22 (D) or FIG. 33 (A).

  When the money management apparatus 200 is not connected to the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 is not included in the supplier menu. A specific example of the supplier menu in this case is shown in FIG. 23 or FIG.

  When the operator selects the money management apparatus 200 as a business partner, the teller machine 100 causes the display unit 15a to display a selection screen as to whether or not it is necessary to input a cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 135). Note that the selection screen of STEP 130 and the selection screen of STEP 135 may be simultaneously displayed on the display unit 15a.

  When the operator selects that it is necessary to input the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 (YES in STEP 135), a collection process to the money management apparatus 200 is executed (STEP 140). More specifically, the teller machine 100, for example, throws out a bundle of bills B from the bundle discharge port 113 or the bundle deposit / withdrawal port 10, and also uses a cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information used for authentication of cooperation processing). ) Is issued an authentication slip (receipt). The receipt may be, for example, paper on which a cooperation number as the first cooperation authentication information is printed. The content described in the receipt describes the same information as a processing queue described later with reference to FIG.

The number / number of coins to be thrown out may be specified by the operator or may be calculated by the control unit 15c of the teller machine 100.

  When the operator designates the number / number of money bundles to be collected, in STEP 140, the teller machine 100 causes the display unit 15a to display an input screen for the number / number of money bundles. The operator inputs the number of bundles / number of money to be dispensed according to the deposit amount. The teller machine 100 throws out the coins in the storage selected in STEP 120 by the number of bundles / number input. In this case, the operator can increase / decrease the number / number of money bundles to be collected according to the deposit amount in the depositing process to the teller machine 100.

  When the control unit 15c calculates the number / number of money bundles to be collected, the control unit 15c determines the number of bundles to be collected based on the number / number of money pieces stored in the storage selected in STEP 120. / Calculate the number. For example, the control unit 15c sets half the number of bundles of bundled bills B stored in the selected bundle storage as the number of times of convergence. In this case, input of the number of bundles / number by the operator can be omitted. Of course, the calculated number of bundles / number may be increased or decreased by the operator.

  Next, the teller machine 100 creates a collection processing queue (STEP 150). The control unit 15c as processing information creation means creates a collection processing queue as money cooperation information.

  FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram showing a collection processing queue (cooperation information). The collection processing queue is information indicating the number of bundles / number of money actually thrown out for each denomination. Here, “processing name” is “collection (teller / money management device)”, and it is understood that this is a processing queue related to the collection processing from the cashier 100 to the money management device 200. The cooperation number is a number assigned to each collection process or each loading process, and is a number used for authentication of the cooperation process.

Different processes are always assigned different linkage numbers. Moreover, in the collection | recovery process queue of FIG. 13, the bundle number and amount of money of the bundle banknote B collect | recovered are shown for every money type. However, since the amount of money is simply calculated from the denominations collected and the number of bundles / number, the display may be omitted. Moreover, in the collection | recovery process cue | queue of FIG. 13, although it displays about only a bundle banknote, you may display similarly about wrapping money. For example, when collecting the packaged money from the packaged money processing unit 13, the control unit 15c displays the denomination and number of the packaged money to be collected in the collection processing queue. Information on the collection processing queue is stored in the ROM 15d or the RAM 15e.

  Refer to FIG. 12 again. The operator carries the deposit procedure in the money management apparatus 200 with the receipt issued from the cashier 100. First, the operator inputs ID information to the money management apparatus 200 and logs in (STEP 200). The ID information includes, for example, a personal ID that identifies the operator, a password, and the like. Further, the operator inputs the cooperation number described in the receipt (STEP 200).

  The money management apparatus 200 transmits a request signal for requesting a processing queue to the teller machine 100 (STEP 210). The request signal includes the ID information and the linkage number (second linkage authentication information). When the teller machine 100 receives the request signal, the control unit 15c compares the ID information of the collection processing queue stored in the ROM 15d or the RAM 15e with the ID information included in the request signal. The control unit 15c compares the cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information) of the collection processing queue stored in the ROM 15d or the RAM 15e with the cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information) included in the request signal.

  The ID information of the collection process queue and the ID information included in the request signal match, and the cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information) of the collection process queue and the cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information) included in the request signal Are identical (YES in STEP 160), the teller machine 100 transmits the collection processing queue to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 162). If either the ID information or the linkage number does not match (NO in STEP 160), the teller machine 100 transmits an error signal indicating that the ID information or the linkage number does not match to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 164). In this way, by verifying the ID information, the teller machine 100 confirms whether the operator who has collected money from the teller machine 100 and the operator who stores money in the money management apparatus 200 are the same person. can do. Further, by verifying the linkage number, even if a plurality of processing queues are stored in the ROM 15d or the RAM 15e, the teller machine 100 can search for necessary processing queues and send them to the money management apparatus 200. it can.

  When the money management apparatus 200 receives the error signal, the money management apparatus 200 indicates that the ID information of the collection processing queue and the ID information included in the request signal do not match, or the link number (first number of the collection processing queue) The operator is notified that the cooperation authentication information) and the cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information) included in the request signal do not match. Furthermore, the money management apparatus 200 displays “1. Cancel” and “2. Input of ID information and linkage number” on the display unit 227 (STEP 220). “1. Cancel” is a process of canceling the interrupt collection process performed at that time. If “1. Cancel” is selected, the process returns to STEP 110. In STEP 110, the operator can cancel the deposit process itself performed at that time, or can execute the interrupt collection process again from the beginning.

  “2. Input of ID information and linkage number” in STEP 220 is a process of inputting the ID information and / or the linkage number again. When there is a possibility that the operator has input the ID information and / or the linkage number by mistake, the operator selects “2. Enter ID information, linkage number” and re-enters the ID information and / or the linkage number. And start over from STEP 210. When the money management apparatus 200 receives an error signal, the money management apparatus 200 cannot open the storage drawers 211 to 214.

  On the other hand, the ID information of the collection process queue matches the ID information included in the request signal, and the cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information) of the collection process queue and the cooperation number (second cooperation) included in the request signal. If the (authentication information) matches (YES in STEP 160), the teller machine 100 transmits a processing queue (STEP 162). Then, the money management apparatus 200 acquires a collection processing queue (STEP 230). At this time, the money management apparatus 200 notifies the operator that the collection processing queue has been acquired. Moreover, the money management apparatus 200 may automatically open the storage drawers 211 to 214 with the acquisition of the collection processing queue as a trigger. The operator stores the money collected in the cashier 100 in one of the storage drawers 211 to 214 (STEP 240).

  In the above embodiment, the operator inputs both the ID information and the linkage number to the money management apparatus 200, and the teller machine 100 verifies the processing queue transmission using both the ID information and the linkage number. It was. However, the teller machine 100 may verify the processing queue transmission using only one of the cooperation number and the ID information. However, when it is desired to ensure higher security, the teller machine 100 preferably verifies the processing queue transmission using both the ID information and the linkage number.

  After the money is stored in any of the storage drawers 211 to 214, when the operator closes the storage drawers 211 to 214, the money management device 200 is included in the denomination and number of bundles / number of the stored money and the collection processing queue. It is verified whether or not the information of the denomination and the number of bundles / number of coins to be matched. More specifically, the money management apparatus 200 starts automatic scrutiny by using the storage drawers 211 to 214 as a trigger. In the automatic scrutiny, the weight of each denomination is measured, the number of bundles of banknotes and the number of bars are calculated for each denomination, and compared with the information in the collection processing queue.

  If the stored money denomination and the number of bundles / number do not match the money denomination and the number of bundles / number shown in the collection processing queue, the money management apparatus 200 displays an error on the display unit 227. The display unit 227 displays, together with an error display, a denomination that does not match the information in the collection processing queue, and the number of bundles / number that are insufficient or the number of bundles / number that exceeds. At this time, the money management apparatus 200 may automatically open the storage drawers 211 to 214 again. In this case, since the ID information and the linkage number have been verified, it is considered that the operator has stored the wrong denomination or wrong number of bundles / number in the money management apparatus 200. Accordingly, the operator reinserts the correct denomination and the correct number of bundles / numbers of money into the money management apparatus 200.

  If the stored money denomination and the number of bundles / number match the money denomination and the number of bundles / number shown in the collection processing queue, the money management apparatus 200 transmits an update request to the teller machine 100. The update request is collection completion information indicating that the movement of money in the collection process has been normally completed, and changing the collection process queue stored on the teller machine 100 side to the processed state.

  When receiving the update request via the communication IF 19, the teller machine 100 changes the collection processing queue from the unprocessed state to the processed state (STEP 170). For example, flag information can be included in each collection processing queue, and the processing status of the collection processing queue can be updated by logically inverting the flag information. The flag information is stored in the ROM 15d or RAM 15e together with the corresponding collection processing queue.

  The teller machine 100 returns an update completion signal to the money management apparatus 200 after updating the collection processing queue and the stock amount. After transmitting the update completion signal, the teller machine 100 updates the stock amount (STEP 180). The teller machine 100 ends the series of interrupt collection processing by updating the bank balance. The money management apparatus 200 receives the update completion signal and updates the bank balance (STEP 250). As a result, the money management apparatus 200 also ends the series of interrupt collection processing. Thereafter, the teller machine 100 resumes the interrupted deposit process.

  In STEP 130, when the operator selects collection on hand (STEP 130 "hand-held"), the money is collected on hand of the operator (STEP 142). In this case, since the teller machine 100 does not cooperate with the money management apparatus 200, a collection process queue is not created. After the money is collected, the teller machine 100 updates the stock amount by the operator's key operation (STEP 180). In this case, the amount of money in the money management apparatus 200 may be updated at the time of the next linkage process between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200.

  In STEP 135, when the operator selects that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is unnecessary (NO in STEP 135), the collection process to the money management apparatus 200 is executed as in STEP 140. However, the receipt is not issued because it is not necessary to enter the linkage number.

  Next, the teller machine 100 creates a processing queue as in STEP 150. The creation of the processing queue is as described above with reference to FIG.

  And the teller machine 100 performs STEP162-STEP180. Accordingly, STEP 160 to STEP 164 are omitted in the teller machine 100, and STEP 200 to STEP 220 are omitted in the money management apparatus 200.

  If it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary (NO in STEP 135), the processing queue shown in FIG. 13 may not include the information on the cooperation number.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the interrupt loading process when any of the storage boxes becomes empty during the withdrawal from the cashier 100. In this embodiment, when any of the storage boxes (for example, 3a to 3e in FIG. 4) becomes empty when money is withdrawn from the cashier 100, processing is performed even during the withdrawal process. Is loaded, and money is loaded into the storage from the money management apparatus 200 (or handheld). After the money has been loaded into the storage, the withdrawal process is resumed.

  First, in the teller machine 100, an empty (empty state or a slight state) occurs in any of the storage boxes during the withdrawal process (STEP 101). For example, when the empty detection unit 37 of FIG. 4 detects the elevating stage 30, the teller machine 100 recognizes that an empty has occurred. The teller machine 100 displays “1. cancel”, “2. manual operation”, or “3. interrupt loading” on the display unit 15a (STEP 111). “1. Cancel” is a process of canceling the interrupt loading of the withdrawal process performed at that time. “2. Cashing out” is a process for preparing cash to be withdrawn by allocating money held by the operator (banker) to money already withdrawn from the cashier 100. When “2. Manual delivery” is selected, the teller machine 100 does not execute the cooperation process with the money management apparatus 200. “3. Interrupt loading” is processing for interrupting the depositing process and loading money from the money management apparatus 200 into the storage 3 of the cashier 100. The operator selects any one of “1. Cancel”, “2. Manual operation”, and “3. Interrupt loading”. However, when a part of money has already been withdrawn from the storage 3 in the withdrawal process, the operator cannot select “1. Cancel”. This is because some money that has already been withdrawn needs to be returned. However, “1. Cancel” can be selected before entering the withdrawal operation.

  In STEP 111, when the operator selects “3. Interrupt loading”, the teller machine 100 next displays an interrupt loading cassette selection screen on the display unit 15a (STEP 121). The interrupt loading cassette is a storage that is a target of money loading among the storages (for example, 3a to 3e) of the storage 3. At this time, the storage state of the bundle storage is displayed on the display unit 15a, and the operator can check the amount of money in each storage as well as the empty storage. The operator selects a storage to be loaded with money among the storages. At this time, the operator may select not only the empty storage but also a storage close to the empty. Furthermore, not only the bundled money storage 3 but also the rose money that is the basis of the bundled money may be displayed on the display unit 15a. Thereby, the operator can load the loose money and prevent the money from becoming empty. When loading loose money, the operator places the bundled money taken out from the money management apparatus 200 in a rose state and loads it into the teller machine. Rose money is bundled as necessary.

  Next, the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100 displays a supplier menu. The operator selects from the supplier menu a supplier from which money is taken out (STEP 131). At this time, when the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 is included in the supplier menu. A specific example of the supplier menu in this case is shown in FIG. 22 (D) or FIG. 33 (A).

  When the money management apparatus 200 is not connected to the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 is not included in the supplier menu. A specific example of the supplier menu in this case is shown in FIG. 23 or FIG.

  When the operator selects the money management apparatus 200 as a business partner, the teller machine 100 causes the display unit 15a to display a selection screen as to whether or not the money management apparatus 200 needs to input a linkage number (STEP 136). Note that the selection screen of STEP 131 and the selection screen of STEP 136 may be simultaneously displayed on the display unit 15a.

  When the operator selects that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is necessary (YES in STEP 136), the loading process from the money management apparatus 200 is executed (STEP 141). More specifically, first, the teller machine 100 issues an authentication slip (receipt) in which a cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information) used for authentication of cooperation processing is described. The contents described in the receipt describe the same information as a loading process queue described later. The number / number of coins to be loaded may be designated by the operator or may be calculated by the control unit 15c of the teller machine 100.

  When the operator specifies the number / number of money bundles to be loaded, in STEP 141, the teller machine 100 causes the display unit 15a to display an input screen for the number / number of money bundles. The operator inputs the number of money bundles / number to be loaded according to the amount to be withdrawn. The control unit 15c of the teller machine 100 creates a loading process queue for the denomination of money corresponding to the storage selected in STEP 121 so as to indicate the number of bundles / number input. In this case, the operator can increase / decrease the number of bundles / number of coins to be loaded according to the withdrawal amount in the withdrawal process to the cashier 100.

  When calculating the number / number of bundles of coins to be loaded in the control unit 15c, the control unit 15c loads the bundles to be loaded based on the empty capacity (number of bundles / number of bundles that can be loaded) selected in STEP 120. Calculate the number / number. For example, the control unit 15c sets the number of loaded bundles to one half of the free capacity (number of bundles) of the selected bundle storage. In this case, input of the number of bundles / number by the operator can be omitted. Of course, the calculated number of bundles / number may be increased or decreased by the operator.

  Next, the teller machine 100 creates a loading process queue (STEP 151). The control unit 15c as processing information creation means creates a collection processing queue as money processing information.

  Since the concept of the loading process queue is similar to that of the collection process queue shown in FIG. 13, its illustration is omitted. The loading process queue is information indicating the number of bundles / number of money to be actually loaded for each denomination. Accordingly, in FIG. 13, “processing name” is “loading (money management device → teller machine)”. Thereby, it turns out that it is a process queue regarding the loading process from the money management apparatus 200 to the teller machine 100. FIG. Also, the loading process queues have different linkage numbers.

  In the loading process queue, the number of bundled banknotes B to be loaded and the amount of money are shown for each denomination. Other concepts of the loading process queue are the same as those of the process queue shown in FIG. The loading process queue is also stored in the ROM 15d or RAM 15e in the same manner as the collection process queue.

  Reference is again made to FIG. The operator performs a withdrawal procedure in the money management apparatus 200. More specifically, the operator inputs ID information to the money management apparatus 200 and logs in (STEP 201). Further, the operator inputs the cooperation number described in the receipt (STEP 200). The cooperation number input here is later transmitted to the teller machine 100 as the second cooperation authentication information. In addition, since the transmission operation of the request signal in the loading process is the same as the transmission operation of the request signal in the collection process, detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, the loading process queue verification operation is the same as the above-described collection processing queue verification operation, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. That is, the operations of STEP 161, STEP 163, and STEP 165 are the same as the operations of STEP 160, STEP 162, and STEP 164 shown in FIG. Further, the operations of STEP211, STEP221, and STEP231 are the same as the operations of STEP210, STEP220, and STEP230 shown in FIG.

  When the money management apparatus 200 acquires the loading process queue in STEP 231, the money management apparatus 200 notifies the operator that the loading process queue has been acquired. Moreover, the money management apparatus 200 may automatically open the storage drawers 211 to 214 using the acquisition of the loading process queue as a trigger. The operator takes out the money to be loaded into the cashier 100 from the storage drawers 211 to 214 (STEP 241).

  When the operator closes the storage drawers 211 to 214 after taking out the money from the storage drawers 211 to 214, the money management device 200 displays the money type and the number / number of bundles and the money included in the loading process queue. It is verified whether or not the information on the species and the number of bundles / number matches. More specifically, the money management apparatus 200 starts automatic scrutiny by using the storage drawers 211 to 214 as a trigger. In the automatic scrutiny, the weight of each denomination is measured, the number of bundles of banknotes and the number of bars are calculated for each denomination, and compared with the information in the loading process queue.

  If the denomination and number of bundles / number of picked-up money do not match the denomination and number of bundles / number of money shown in the loading process queue, the money management apparatus 200 displays an error on the display unit 227. . The display unit 227 displays, together with an error display, a denomination that does not match the information in the loading process queue, and the number of bundles / number that are insufficient or the number of bundles / number that exceeds. At this time, the money management apparatus 200 may automatically open the storage drawers 211 to 214 again. In this case, since the ID information and the linkage number have been verified, it is considered that the operator has taken out the wrong denomination or the wrong number of bundles / number from the money management apparatus 200. Therefore, the operator takes out the money from the money management apparatus 200 so that the denomination and the number / number of bundles / numbers of the taken-out money are equal to those information in the loading process queue.

  If the denomination and number of bundles / number of coins stored coincide with the denomination and number of bundles / number of coins shown in the loading process queue, the money management apparatus 200 transmits an update request to the teller machine 100. The update request is removal completion information for indicating that the money in the loading process has been successfully removed from the money management apparatus 200 and for changing the collection processing queue stored on the cashier 100 side to the processed state. .

  Upon receipt of the update request via the communication IF 19, the teller machine 100 changes the loading processing queue from the unprocessed state to the processed state (STEP 171). For example, flag information can be included in each loading process queue, and the processing state of the loading process queue can be updated by logically inverting the flag information. The flag information is stored in the ROM 15d or RAM 15e together with the corresponding loading process queue.

  The teller machine 100 returns an update completion signal to the money management apparatus 200 after updating the loading process queue. After transmitting the update completion signal, the operator loads the money taken out from the money management apparatus 200 into the storage of the teller machine 100 (STEP 175). The loading of money is executed by putting money into the deposit / withdrawal port 10 of the teller machine 100. After loading the money, the teller machine 100 updates the stock amount (STEP 181). The teller machine 100 ends the series of interrupt loading processes by updating the stock amount.

  The money management apparatus 200 receives the update completion signal and updates the stock amount (STEP 251). As a result, the money management apparatus 200 also ends the series of interrupt loading processes. Thereafter, the teller machine 100 resumes the interrupted withdrawal process.

  In STEP 131, when the operator selects the hand-held loading (“hand-held” in STEP 131), the operator loads the money in hand into the teller machine 100 (STEP 143). In this case, since the teller machine 100 does not cooperate with the money management apparatus 200, a loading process queue is not created. After the money is loaded in STEP 175, the teller machine 100 updates the stock amount by the operator's key operation (STEP 181). In this case, the amount of money in the money management apparatus 200 may be updated at the time of the next cooperation process between the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 100.

  In STEP 136, when the operator selects that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is unnecessary (NO in STEP 136), the collection process to the money management apparatus 200 is executed as in STEP 141. However, the receipt is not issued because it is not necessary to enter the linkage number.

  Next, the teller machine 100 creates a processing queue as in STEP 151. The creation of the processing queue is as described above.

  Then, the teller machine 100 executes STEP163 to STEP181. Accordingly, STEP 161 to STEP 165 are omitted in the teller machine 100, and STEP 201 to STEP 221 are omitted in the money management apparatus 200.

  When it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary (NO in STEP 136), the processing queue illustrated in FIG. 13 may not include the information on the cooperation number.

  The above description has explained the collection processing and loading processing related to bundled banknotes and / or packaged money. Any of these processes can be similarly applied to loose bills and / or loose coins. In this case, the bundle / number of money may be read as the number of money.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the storage in the teller machine 100 becomes full while depositing into the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 cooperates with the teller machine 100 to operate the A person can smoothly collect money from the cashier 100 to the money management apparatus 200. Further, even when the storage in the teller machine 100 becomes empty in the middle of withdrawing money from the teller machine 100, similarly, the money management apparatus 200 cooperates with the teller machine 100, so that the operator Money can be smoothly loaded from the management device 200 to the teller machine 100. That is, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to operate money almost seamlessly.

  In addition, the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 cooperate with each other so that the cashier 100 can accurately measure the stock held, including the stock management, the machine stock, and the post stock, as well as the hand-held stock including the money management device. Can be managed centrally.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to select whether or not it is necessary to input a cooperation number in the money management apparatus 200. In the case where the distance between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 is short and the movement process of money between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 can be immediately processed without duplication with other processes, It can be selected that no input is required. Thereby, an operator can save the trouble of inputting a cooperation number into the money management apparatus 200, and operability can be improved. Of course, when the input of the cooperation number is necessary, it is possible to select that the input of the cooperation number is necessary in the teller machine 100. As a result, security can be improved, and even if a plurality of processes are duplicated, necessary processes can be identified and authenticated from those processes.

  In this embodiment, it is possible to select whether or not to input a cooperation number. However, it may be possible to select whether or not to input an ID number and / or a password.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory view schematically showing an overall image of banknote management by the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  A money management system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cash machine 100 and a money management apparatus 200 configured to be able to communicate with each other. Although the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are configured to be able to communicate with each other, the communication line is not always connected, and the connection can be physically disconnected arbitrarily at any time. Therefore, the money management apparatus 200 can be used by moving to any place in the store. Note that the money management apparatus 200 can also manage the amount of money alone.

  In the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, all cash management in a financial institution store is performed by the teller machine 100. The stocks managed by the teller machine 100 include stock stocks 6, machine stocks 1, post stocks 2, and hand stocks 3.

  The stock amount 6 is the amount of money stored in the main safe in the financial institution store. The machine balance 1 is the balance of money stored in the teller machine 100. Post balance 2 is a post on the teller machine 100, that is, securities such as a check deposited in the above-mentioned non-cash box 14 or a non-payment ticket that is a damaged or soiled banknote. It is the amount of money that is possible. The amount of cash on hand 3 is the amount of money that is placed under the management by hand, such as temporarily removed from the safe or the teller machine 100 for the purpose of transferring funds. The money management device balance 4 (4X, 4Y), which is the balance of money that is stored and movable, is also managed as a part of the balance held. The money management device balance 4 is managed as a part 4X of the hand held amount 3 in the teller machine 100, but the money management device 200 itself is managed as the money management device balance 4Y. The money management device balance 4Y of the money management device 200 is inquired by the cashier 100 as needed. The money management device balance 4X and the money management device balance 4Y are matched by transmitting / receiving linkage information between the teller machine 100 and the money management device 200 and updating both balance data.

  The linkage information is stored in the processing information management database 400 of the teller machine 100 and updated as needed. This processing information management database 400 is stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100, for example.

  When making deposits and withdrawals with customers, deposits and withdrawals are made using the money included in the machine balance or the balance on hand. In addition, when securities such as checks are deposited from customers, or when non-paid bills are included in the deposited money, they are post-paid and managed as post-invoices. When these securities and non-performing securities are collected from the post of the teller machine 100, the post amount is managed as a part of the hand amount.

  When the money stored in the teller machine 100 is insufficient (in the case of empty), or when the money cannot be completely entered (in the case of full), the operator takes out the money from the safe or the money management apparatus 200. The money is loaded into the teller machine 100, or the money is collected from the teller machine 100 and stored in the safe or the money management apparatus 200. In particular, when the storage in the teller machine 100 becomes full while depositing into the teller machine 100, the collection process is executed as described with reference to FIGS. When the storage in the depositing machine 100 becomes empty during the withdrawal from the accounting machine 100, the loading process is executed as described with reference to FIG.

  In the collection process, the stock amount is updated by moving the machine stock 1 to the money management device stock 4X. On the other hand, in the loading process, the stock amount is updated by moving the money management device stock amount 4X to the machine stock amount 1. At the time of the movement of funds, the funds may be temporarily managed as a stock on hand. Further, when collecting as a handheld as in STEP 142 of FIG. 12, the stock amount is updated by operating the machine stock amount 1 to the hand stock amount 3. When loading from hand-held as in STEP 143 of FIG. 14, the stock amount is updated by operating from the hand-held stock amount 3 to the machine stock amount 1.

  When there is a shortage of money stored in the money management apparatus 200, the money is taken out from the safe and replenished to the money management apparatus 200, or the money is loaded into the money management apparatus 200 from the hand held amount. When the money cannot be completely entered into the money management apparatus 200, the money is collected from the money management apparatus 200 and stored in the safe or managed as a hand-held amount.

  All funds transfer is managed by the cashier 100 as described above. In particular, when a deposit / withdrawal operation including loading / collecting money between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 or storing and taking out money between the safe and the money management apparatus 200 is performed, Cooperation information (processing queue) is created in the teller machine 100. The linkage information is transmitted from the cashier 100 to the money management apparatus 200 before or after the movement of the money, and a request for updating the linkage information is sent back from the money management apparatus 200 to the cashier 100 after the movement of the money. It is. As described above, by matching the cooperation processing in the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200, accurate cash management is maintained.

  The collection process and the loading process described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 14 show a cooperation process in the case where a full occurs during the depositing to the cashier 100 or an empty occurs during the withdrawal from the cashier 100. Yes. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 17 and subsequent figures, the overall cooperative processing of the higher concept including the above-described number of times processing and loading processing will be described.

  FIG. 17 (A) to FIG. 17 (E) are explanatory diagrams showing examples of operation methods that can be performed in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B show an operation method when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is necessary. FIG. 17D and FIG. 17E show an operation method when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is not necessary.

  First, “Teller” and “Teller” shown in FIG. 17 will be described. The “Treasurer” is authorized to perform all deposit / withdrawal operations using both the cash machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 that constitute the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Higher authority. On the other hand, a “teller” is a clerk (general employee) who directly responds to a customer at a financial institution store window, and is given authority to perform deposit / withdrawal operations within a predetermined limit in the cashier machine 100. Is a subordinate authority. “Teller” and “Teller” may be collectively referred to as an operator.

  Even if the allowable amount of deposit / withdrawal operation is different, in order for both the “Treasurer” and “Teller” to operate the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200, the cashier 100 and the money It is necessary to register the ID information and the personal identification number or password in advance in each management apparatus 200.

  FIG. 17A shows a case where the same cashier performs a taking out operation of a total of 11 million yen including 1 million yen from the cashier machine 100 and 10 million yen from the money management apparatus 200.

  The cashier enters his / her ID information and password or password into the cashier 100, and then inputs “1 million yen withdrawal operation from the cashier machine 100 million and 10 million yen from the money management device 200”. Is performed, cooperation information (processing queue) about the take-out operation is created and a cooperation number is assigned, and the cooperation information is stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100 together with the cooperation number. Further, in response to an inquiry from the money management apparatus 200, the cooperation information is transmitted to the money management apparatus 200 via the communication line, and is also stored in the hard disk drive 225g of the money management apparatus 200.

  Then, when an operation for withdrawing 1 million yen from the cashier 100 is performed, a bundle of 1 million yen banknotes is withdrawn from the cashier 100, and a part of the withdrawal by the entered withdrawal operation is performed. A manual payment receipt is issued indicating that it has been executed. On this manual payment receipt, a cooperation number corresponding to the cooperation information regarding the withdrawal operation is also printed.

  Next, when the cashier inputs the linkage number to the money management apparatus 200, the money management apparatus 200 requests the teller machine 100 to transmit corresponding linkage information based on the linkage number, and the teller machine 100 When the cooperation information is received, the operation content in the cooperation information is displayed. Here, the manual payment receipt on which the cooperation number is printed is issued as a result of inputting the cashier ID information and the password or password to the cashier 100. In the money management apparatus 200, since the same cashier performs the operation, only the cooperation number is input, and the input of the ID information and the password or password can be omitted. On the contrary, in the money management apparatus 200, it is possible to omit only the ID information, or the ID information and the personal identification number or the password, so that the input of the cooperation number can be omitted. The related cooperation information may be displayed in a list so that the processing can be selected. In this case, care must be taken not to lose the manual payment receipt, or it is not necessary to store the linkage number, which is convenient. However, in order to ensure higher security, the money management apparatus 200 may also request input of ID information and a password or password.

  As the operation in the above-mentioned linkage information, 10 million yen is taken out from the unexecuted money management apparatus 200 out of the “11 million yen withdrawal operation from the cash machine 100 million and the money management apparatus 200 to 10 million yen”. When the operation is performed, the drawer is unlocked and a large banknote of 10 million yen is taken out, and then the automatic money amount confirmation operation in the money management apparatus 200 is performed.

  In addition, an update record indicating that the operation has been completed for the linkage information in the hard disk drive 225g of the money management apparatus 200 is performed, and the linkage information that has been updated and recorded is transmitted to the teller machine 100 via a communication line. Also stored in 100 hard disk drives 15g.

  By the transmission / reception of the linkage information as described above, the linkage information in the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 is matched. That is, the cooperation information is synchronized.

  FIG. 17B shows a case where the teller performs a withdrawal operation of 11 million yen in total, that is, 1 million yen from the teller machine 100 and a person in charge of receipt and payment from the money management apparatus 200 to 10 million yen.

  The teller inputs his / her ID information and personal identification number or password to the teller machine 100, and inputs “11 million yen withdrawal operation from the teller machine 100 million and 10 million yen from the money management apparatus 200”. Then, cooperation information about the take-out operation is created and given a cooperation number, and the cooperation information is stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100 together with the cooperation number. Further, in response to an inquiry from the money management apparatus 200, the cooperation information is transmitted to the money management apparatus 200 via the communication line, and is also stored in the hard disk drive 225g of the money management apparatus 200.

  Here, assuming that the withdrawal operation of 10 million yen is an operation exceeding the authority of the teller, the withdrawal operation of 1 million yen in the teller machine 100 can be executed by the teller itself, but the withdrawal from the money management apparatus 200 is possible. It can also be specified in the linkage information that an operation must be performed by a cashier.

  Then, when the teller performs an operation of withdrawing 1 million yen from the cashier machine 100, a 1 million yen banknote is withdrawn from the cashier machine 100, and one of the withdrawals by the entered withdrawal operation. A manual payment receipt is issued indicating that the copy has been executed. On this manual payment receipt, a cooperation number corresponding to the cooperation information regarding the withdrawal operation is also printed.

  Next, a cashier who receives a request from Teller inputs his / her ID information and personal identification number or password to the money management apparatus 200, and then inputs the linkage number described in the payment receipt to the money management apparatus 200. Then, the money management apparatus 200 requests the teller machine 100 to transmit the corresponding cooperation information based on the cooperation number, and when receiving the cooperation information from the cashier machine 100, displays the operation content in the cooperation information. Here, the teller who performs the withdrawal operation from the cashier 100 and the cashier who performs the withdrawal operation from the money management apparatus 200 are separate staff members, and each has individual ID information and a personal identification number or password. Therefore, neither the teller nor the cashier can omit the input of the ID information and the password or password. When ID information is input, it is possible to display a list of unprocessed cooperation processes (removal / storage operations) related to the person in charge and select a cooperation number.

  As the operation in the above-mentioned linkage information, 10 million yen is taken out from the unexecuted money management apparatus 200 out of the “11 million yen withdrawal operation from the cash machine 100 million and the money management apparatus 200 to 10 million yen”. When the operation is performed, the drawer is unlocked and a large banknote of 10 million yen is taken out, and then the automatic money amount confirmation operation in the money management apparatus 200 is performed.

  In addition, an update record indicating that the operation content has been completed for the linkage information in the hard disk drive 225g of the money management apparatus 200 is performed, and the linkage information that has been updated and recorded is transmitted to the teller machine 100 via the communication line. Also stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the machine 100.

  By the transmission / reception of the linkage information as described above, the linkage information in the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 is matched. That is, the cooperation information is synchronized.

  FIG. 17C shows a case where the money management apparatus 200 is operated alone, and the cashier in charge performs a withdrawal operation of 11 million yen from the money management apparatus 200.

  When the cashier enters his / her ID information and personal identification number or password into the money management apparatus 200 and inputs “11 million yen withdrawal operation from the money management apparatus 200”, local processing for the withdrawal operation is performed. Information is created and assigned a local process number, and the local process information is stored in the hard disk drive 225g of the money management apparatus 200 together with the local process number. At that time, the money management apparatus 200 and the teller machine 100 communicate with each other through a communication line. If the connection is established via the network, the local processing information is transmitted to the teller machine 100 and is also stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100.

  And if operation for taking out 11 million yen from the money management apparatus 200 is performed, a large banknote of 10 million yen and a bundle of 1,000,000 yen can be taken out, and automatic money amount confirmation operation in the money management apparatus 200 is performed. Done.

  Further, an update record indicating that the operation is completed for the local processing information in the hard disk drive 225g of the money management apparatus 200 is performed. Further, when the money management apparatus 200 and the teller machine 100 are connected via a communication line, the recorded local processing information is transmitted to the teller machine 100 via the communication line, and is sent to the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100. Is also remembered. If the money management apparatus 200 and the teller machine 100 are not connected via a communication line at the time when the local processing information is created, the local information recorded when both are connected via the communication line The processing information may be transmitted to the teller machine 100 and stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100.

  FIG. 17 (D) shows a case where the same cashier performs an extraction operation of 11 million yen in total, which is 1 million yen from the cash machine 100 and 10 million yen from the money management apparatus 200, as in FIG. 17 (A). Show. However, in FIG. 17D, the operator does not need to input a cooperation number (processing queue) to the money management apparatus 200. Hereinafter, the operation method of FIG. 17D will be described while referring to differences from the operation shown in FIG.

  When the cashier performs a 11 million yen take-out operation, linkage information is created and stored in the hard disk drive 15g. Further, the teller machine 100 transmits the processing queue to the money management apparatus 200 without a request from the money management apparatus 200. This cooperation information may include a cooperation number.

  When a cashier performs an operation of withdrawing 1 million yen from the cashier 100, a banknote of 1 million yen is withdrawn from the cashier 100. However, a payment receipt with the linkage number will not be issued.

  When the money management apparatus 200 receives the processing queue, it automatically unlocks the drawer. A cashier takes out a banknote of 10 million yen. Thus, the operability of the money management system is further improved by automatically unlocking the drawer by receiving the processing queue. After receiving the processing queue, the money management apparatus 200 requests input of the ID information and personal identification number or password of the cashier, and discloses the lock of the drawer after inputting the ID information and personal identification number or password. Also good. In this case, the operability is impaired to some extent, but it is preferable in terms of security.

  Thereafter, as described with reference to FIG. 17 (A), the automatic currency check operation in the money management apparatus 200 is performed.

  FIG. 17E shows a case where, as in FIG. 17B, the teller performs a withdrawal operation of 11 million yen in total, that is, 1 million yen from the cashier machine 100, and the cashier in charge from the money management apparatus 200 to 10 million yen. Is shown. However, in FIG. 17E, the operator does not need to input a cooperation number (processing queue) to the money management apparatus 200. Hereinafter, the operation method of FIG. 17E will be described while referring to differences from the operation shown in FIG.

  When the teller performs an extraction operation of 11 million yen, cooperation information is created and stored in the hard disk drive 15g. Further, the teller machine 100 transmits the processing queue to the money management apparatus 200 without a request from the money management apparatus 200. This cooperation information may include a cooperation number.

  If the withdrawal operation of 10 million yen exceeds the authority of the teller, the withdrawal operation of 1 million yen in the teller machine 100 can be executed by the teller himself, but the withdrawal from the money management apparatus 200 is possible. It can also be specified in the linkage information that an operation must be performed by a cashier.

  When the teller performs an operation of withdrawing 1 million yen from the cashier 100, a bundle of 1 million yen is dispensed from the cashier 100. However, a payment receipt with the linkage number will not be issued.

  When the money management apparatus 200 receives the processing queue, it automatically unlocks the drawer. A cashier takes out a banknote of 10 million yen. Here, the teller who performs the withdrawal operation from the cashier 100 and the cashier who performs the withdrawal operation from the money management apparatus 200 are separate staff members, but ID information and a personal identification number or The password entry may be omitted. Of course, after receiving the processing queue, the money management apparatus 200 may request the input of the ID information or password of the cashier and disclose the lock of the drawer after the input of the ID information and the password or password. In this case, the operability is impaired to some extent, but it is preferable in terms of security.

  Thereafter, as described with reference to FIG. 17 (B), the automatic currency check operation in the money management apparatus 200 is performed.

  The above is an example of the cooperative information transmission / reception procedure performed in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is partially different from other examples of the cooperative information transmission / reception procedure described later.

  18 (A) and 18 (B) schematically show data transmission / reception and operation (operation) procedures between the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 at the time of deposit / withdrawal operation in the money management apparatus 200. It is explanatory drawing. FIG. 18A shows an operation procedure when the input of the cooperation number is necessary, and FIG. 18B shows an operation procedure when the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary.

  The operation procedure in FIG. 18A will be described. When the person in charge who performs the deposit / withdrawal operation inputs his / her ID information to the teller machine 100, a list of selectable processes permitted by the person in charge is displayed on the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100. A deposit / withdrawal operation (process) to be executed is selected and input from among them (STEP 500), and then a password required for the process is input (STEP 501). Then, linkage information for the deposit / withdrawal operation (processing) is created and given a linkage number, and the linkage information is stored in the hard disk drive 15g of the cashier 100 together with the linkage number, and the deposit / withdrawal operation included in the linkage information. (Processing) can be executed (STEP 502).

  The teller machine 100 has a linkage with the money management apparatus 200 in the linkage information. That is, the handling section is the money management apparatus 200 and the person in charge of operation has the authority to operate the money management apparatus 200. Identifies whether or not a gold operation is included.

  If any of the conditions is not met, the processing related to the linkage information is terminated (STEP 504), but there is a take-out / operation in which there is linkage with the money management apparatus 200 and the person in charge of operation has the authority to operate the money management apparatus 200. When the storing operation is included, the teller machine 100 transmits a process open request for requesting that the take-out / storing process included in the cooperation information should be started to the money management apparatus 200 via the communication line. (STEP 503). Then, the teller machine 100 performs authentication printing and ends the processing (STEP 504).

  In response to the processing open request from the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 can skip (omitted) the person-in-charge ID input and the personal identification number input among the person-in-charge ID input, processing item selection input, and personal identification number input (STEP510). ).

  In the money management apparatus 200, when cooperation information is selected on the processing item selection screen (STEP 511), a cooperation number of the cooperation information can be input. Since the cooperation information associated with the cooperation number is created as a result of the operation execution person in charge inputting his / her ID information and the personal identification number to the teller machine 100, here, the money management apparatus 200 cooperates. If only the number is input, the input of the ID information and password of the person in charge of operation can be omitted.

  However, if it is desired to ensure a higher level of security, the money management apparatus 200 may also request input of the ID information and password of the person in charge of operation at the start of operation (STEP 510). In this case, when the person in charge of operation inputs his / her ID information and personal identification number to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 510) and selects cooperation information on the processing item selection screen (STEP 511), the cooperation number of the cooperation information is determined. Input is ready.

  On the contrary, in the money management apparatus 200, only the ID information, or the ID information and the personal identification number or password are input, and the cooperation information related to the person in charge is displayed in a list according to the input of the ID information. In this way, the input of the cooperation number may be omitted. In this case, care is taken not to lose the receipt on which the linkage number is printed, or it is not necessary to store the linkage number, which is convenient.

  After inputting the ID information and password of the person in charge of operation, or without inputting the ID information and password, inputting the link number corresponding to the link information of the take-out / storage operation to be executed (STEP 512) The management apparatus 200 transmits a cooperation information request corresponding to the cooperation number to the teller machine 100. The teller machine 100 transmits the cooperation information to the money management apparatus 200 in response to the cooperation information request. The money management apparatus 200 receives the cooperation information and stores it in the hard disk drive 225g, for example, and displays the contents of the take-out / storage operation in the cooperation information.

  The selected input by the person in charge of the operation of taking out / storing operation is in a state where the taking out / storing operation can be executed, and after the money is stowed and / or taken out (STEP 513), the money management apparatus 200 is operated. The automatic scrutiny, that is, the automatic cash amount confirmation operation is performed, and if there is no abnormality in the money management device balance after deposit / withdrawal, the deposit / withdrawal operation is normally completed.

  And the update recording to the effect that the operation content was completed about the said cooperation information memorize | stored and preserve | saved at the money management apparatus 200 is performed. In addition, the updated linkage information is transmitted to the teller machine 100 through the communication line together with the processing result notification, and the linkage information managed in the teller machine 100 is also updated and recorded. Then, when the teller machine 100 transmits the fact that the updated cooperation information and the processing result notification have been received to the money management apparatus 200, the teller machine 100 sets a processed flag in the cooperation information. Furthermore, if the money management apparatus 200 receives the response from the cashier 100, the process in the money management apparatus 200 is also terminated (STEP 514).

  At the end of processing in the teller machine 100, the processing result may be authentication printed on the authentication slip.

  The money management apparatus 200 receives the cooperation information from the teller machine 100, and after storing and / or taking out the cooperation information and performing update recording of the cooperation information, the money management apparatus 200 receives the cooperation information. When the communication line between the money management apparatus 200 and the teller machine 100 is disconnected at the time of trying to transmit the cooperation information updated and recorded to 100, the money management apparatus 200 is updated and recorded. The link information is held immediately without being transmitted, and is transmitted when a communication line is connected later.

  The operation procedure of FIG. 18B will be described while referring to differences from the procedure of FIG. When the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are linked and the person in charge of operation has the authority to operate the money management apparatus 200, the teller machine 100 sends the linkage information (processing queue) to the money management apparatus 200. ) Is transmitted via the communication line (STEP 553). The teller machine 100 does not print the cooperation information.

  The money management apparatus 200 that has received the processing queue from the teller machine 100 is in a state in which the take-out / storing operation can be performed so that the operator can process immediately (STEP 513). After the money is stored and / or taken out, the automatic balance check operation is performed as described with reference to FIG. Note that the money management apparatus 200 may request input of ID information or a password of a cashier after receiving the processing queue. In this case, the operability is impaired to some extent, but it is preferable in terms of security.

  The above is the operation procedure of the person in charge at the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 during the take-out / storage operation of the money management apparatus 200 performed in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 19 is an explanatory view schematically showing a flow of various information processing including linkage information in the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 performed in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  The linkage information in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention is registered, that is, stored in the processing information management database 400 of the teller machine 100, and updated as needed.

  For example, when funds are transferred from the stock of the safe to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 600), the cashier 100 creates linkage information related to the deposit / withdrawal operation and registers it in the processing information management database 400 (STEP 601). . The cashier 100 then subtracts the amount of money to be transferred from the stock amount of the treasury, and adds or subtracts it to the money management device stock as part of the stock on hand. Perform (STEP 602). Further, the transfer of funds by the cooperation process is also registered as transaction data (STEP 603), and the process in the teller machine 100 ends (STEP 604).

  In the deposit / withdrawal operation based on the cooperation information, the money management apparatus 200 performs the deposit, that is, the storage process as the collaboration process (STEP 610). When it is necessary to input a cooperation number, when the money management apparatus 200 receives the above open request from the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 requests and obtains and refers to the cooperation information accordingly (broken line and solid line in STEP 611). ).

  When the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the teller machine 100 transmits the cooperation information to the money management apparatus 200 after the cooperation information is created. At this time, transmission / reception of an open request and a request signal for cooperation information is not executed. (The solid line of STEP611).

  Then, when the storage processing of the money (money) transferred from the stock of the safe is performed based on the cooperation information (STEP 612), the money management apparatus 200 updates that the operation content has been completed for the cooperation information. As the recording is performed (STEP 613), the updated cooperation information is transmitted to the teller machine 100 via the communication line, and the cooperation information on the processing information management database 400 of the teller machine 100 is also updated. The cooperation process in the money management apparatus 200 ends when the updated cooperation information is transmitted to the teller machine 100 (STEP 614).

  FIG.20 and FIG.21 is explanatory drawing which shows the example of the content of the cooperation information created and updated in the money management system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

  First, FIG. 20 (A) is an example of the content of the cooperation information which shows the state in which the process in the teller machine has been completed and the unprocessed state in the money management apparatus. In the cashier machine 100, the linkage information about the linkage process including the deposit / withdrawal operation and the withdrawal / storage operation of the cashier machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 is created and registered, and only the deposit / withdrawal operation at the cashier machine 100 is completed. An example of the content of the cooperation information at the time when the take-out / storage operation in the money management apparatus 200 is not processed is shown. The number of banknote bundles and the number of bars for denomination and withdrawal / storage operations in the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are registered for each denomination, and the cashier 100 performs the deposit / withdrawal operation. The date and time of contact and the person in charge number are shown. In the upper center, storage / removal is not performed, and it is shown that the state is “unprocessed”.

  FIG. 20B is an example of the contents of cooperation information indicating a state where the cooperation processing in the teller machine and the money management apparatus is completed and the cooperation information is updated. The deposit / withdrawal operation in the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 registered in the cooperation information is completed, and the date and time when the deposit / withdrawal operation was performed and the person in charge number are shown. In the upper center, “completed” is shown to have been taken out / stored.

  On the other hand, FIG. 21 is an example of the contents of local processing information in an unprocessed state created for executing processing in a single currency management apparatus, that is, local processing. In the money management apparatus 200, local processing information regarding the take-out / storage operation in the money management apparatus 200 is created and registered, and data of the take-out / storage operation in the money management apparatus 200 is transmitted to the teller machine 100. Is displayed. The number of banknote bundles and the number of sticks of the denominations that are taken out / stored in the money management apparatus 200 are registered for each denomination, and the date and time when the local processing was performed in the money management apparatus 200 and the person in charge number are shown. ing. Further, the display state “unprocessed” indicates that the authentication printing in the teller machine 100 is not completed.

  After presenting these examples, an outline procedure for creating and updating linkage information in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  If the depositing / dispensing operation to be performed requires cooperation between the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200, a part or all of the cash amount data input as a hand-held amount is included in the money management apparatus 200. Money management device transaction data, that is, linkage information is created and registered in the teller machine 100 as high.

  The target denominations of money are 10,000 yen, 5,000 yen, 2,000 yen, 1,000 yen for banknotes, 500 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10, yen, 5 yen, 1 yen for coins.

  Here, in the money management apparatus 200, bundles / books, that is, bundled banknotes and wrapping coin bars are to be handled, loose banknotes and loose coins are not to be handled, and the amount of banknotes is in units of 100 sheets. The amount of coins is registered in the cooperation information as a take-out / storage operation target in units of 50 sheets. As an example, when registering an extraction operation of 130 yen for 10,000 yen and 90 yen for 500 yen, 100 million yen and 50 yen for 500 yen are registered as an extraction operation from the money management apparatus 200, and the remaining 30 yen for 10,000 yen, 40 yen of 500 yen is not registered as an extraction operation. As another example, in the case of registering a withdrawal operation of 5,000 yen 60 sheets and 1,000 yen 50 sheets, the withdrawal operation that can be registered as the withdrawal operation from the money management apparatus 200 is “None”.

  Only the person in charge who is permitted to operate the money management apparatus 200 can select “hand-held operation” or “money-management apparatus operation” in the hand-held operation authentication. . The person in charge of the operation “impossible” of the money management apparatus 200 registers “money management apparatus standing-up operation” as a cooperative process with another person in charge of the operation “permitted” of the money management apparatus 200. It is good to be able to perform deposit / withdrawal operation of the money management apparatus 200 by doing.

    When it is necessary to input the cooperation number, the authentication slip (receipt) issued at the time of the authentication of the cooperation process including the take-out / storage operation of the money management apparatus 200 in the teller machine 100 is the cooperation corresponding to the cooperation information. The number is printed. On the other hand, if the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the authentication slip is not printed.

  At the time of operation authentication of cooperation processing, that is, when creating and registering cooperation information, the money management device stock stored in the teller machine 100 is checked at that time, and a deposit / withdrawal operation to be authenticated is performed. It confirms for every denomination whether it does not exceed the capacity | capacitance of the money management apparatus 200 as a result of having performed. As an example of handling when there is a denomination that exceeds the capacity of the money management apparatus 200, the operation of the linkage process is excluded only for the deposit / withdrawal operation of the denomination that exceeds the capacity, excluding the denomination operation of the denomination that exceeds the capacity. It is recommended to perform authentication and create and register linkage information.

  For example, when the capacity of the 10,000 yen banknote of the money management apparatus 200 is 300 bundles and the capacity of a 500 yen coin bar is 300, 450 bundles of 10,000 yen banknotes, 100 deposits of 500 yen coin bars If it is going to perform the operation authentication of the cooperation process, the 450 bundle of 10,000 yen bills is excluded from the operation authentication of the cooperation process, and the operation authentication of the cooperation process is performed for only 100 deposits of 500 yen coin bars. The creation and registration of linkage information is performed.

  For denomination storage / removal operations that are excluded from cooperative processing operation authentication due to exceeding capacity, only the denomination storage / removal operations for other denominations are displayed on the confirmation screen for cooperative processing operation authentication. A confirmation input as to whether or not to perform operation authentication of the cooperation process is accepted. If there is a denomination that exceeds the capacity of the money management apparatus 200 and the person in charge of the operation of the money management apparatus 200 who is “impossible” has performed the operation authentication input for the cooperation process, the confirmation screen is displayed. The processing for disabling operation authentication without displaying may be continued.

  On the other hand, when the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary, the operation authentication of the cooperation process is omitted. However, since the money management apparatus 200 has already received the cooperation information from the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200 checks for each denomination whether the capacity of the money management apparatus 200 is exceeded by the storage / removal operation. can do. When there is a denomination exceeding the capacity of the money management apparatus 200, the deposit / withdrawal operation of the denomination exceeding the capacity is prohibited and the lock of the drawer of the denomination is not released. The deposit / withdrawal operation of the denomination within the capacity is permitted, and the drawer of the denomination is unlocked.

  For example, when the capacity of the 10,000 yen banknote of the money management apparatus 200 is 300 bundles and the capacity of a 500 yen coin bar is 300, 450 bundles of 10,000 yen banknotes, 100 deposits of 500 yen coin bars Suppose you tried to perform operation authentication of the linkage process. In this case, the lock of the drawer that accommodates the bar of 500 yen coin is unlocked without unlocking the drawer that accommodates the 10,000 yen bill.

  FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing a screen display example of the teller machine 100 when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 perform the cooperation process. Here, it is assumed that the necessity of inputting the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 has already been selected when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are installed. In other words, whether or not the cooperation number needs to be input is initially set in the teller machine 100.

  FIG. 22A shows a display screen configuration of the teller machine 100. The processing name, date / date and time, processing serial number, and person in charge number are displayed, and a processing sub-area, a guidance section, an error message section, and a status display section are provided.

  FIG. 22B shows a state waiting for input of the person in charge ID. Here, when the person-in-charge ID is input, as shown in FIG. 22 (C), a menu selection screen on which a list of operations that can be executed in the teller machine 100 is displayed. In this menu selection screen, when “collection” is selected here, the display unit 15a then displays a supplier menu.

  FIG. 22D shows a supplier menu displayed on the display unit 15a when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected. The business partner indicates a movement destination when money is withdrawn from the cashier 100 or a movement source when money is deposited into the cashier 100. The supplier menu is a list in which one or a plurality of suppliers capable of performing money transactions in the process selected in FIG. The supplier menu can be changed according to the process selected in FIG. When the collection process is selected, as shown in FIG. 22D, the money management device 200, the cashier 100, and the handheld are displayed as a supplier menu in this order. Hereinafter, the supplier menu displayed when the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100 is also referred to as a first supplier menu (FIG. 22D).

  If the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are not connected, the display unit 15a does not display the money management apparatus 200 as shown in FIG. The supplier menu displayed when the money management apparatus 200 is not connected to the teller machine 100 is also referred to as a second supplier menu (FIG. 23).

  The supplier and the display order of the supplier to be displayed in the first and second supplier menus may be set by default at the time of delivery of the teller machine 100, or when the teller machine 100 is installed. It may be set in the initial setting. For example, when setting the first and second supplier menus in the initial setting, the operator selects the suppliers to be displayed as the first and second supplier menus, respectively, and the order in which they are likely to be selected. Set to each.

  Once the supplier menu is set, thereafter, the teller machine 100 may display the first or second supplier menu for each processing of money.

  Whether the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected is detected by the detection unit 15j in FIG.

  Thus, according to this embodiment, display part 15a displays the 1st or 2nd supplier menu which changes according to the presence or absence of the communication connection between cashier 100 and money management device 200. When the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100, the display unit 15a displays the first supplier menu including the money management apparatus 200, and the money management apparatus 200 is not connected to the teller machine 100. In this case, the display unit 15a displays a second supplier menu that does not include the money management apparatus 200. Thereby, the operator can select a supplier easily and without error. Moreover, the 1st and 2nd supplier menu is displayed in order with high possibility of being selected as a supplier. Therefore, the operator often selects the first business partner displayed at the top. Thereby, operation at the time of supplier selection becomes easy. The operator uses the keyboard 16 to select a specific supplier from the first or second supplier menu.

  When a business partner is selected, the teller machine 100 requests the operator's PIN code input. FIG. 22E shows a state waiting for input of a personal identification number. If the correct password is input and the operator has the operation processing authority of “collection”, the process is started.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not the cooperation number needs to be input is initially set in advance when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are installed. In this case, since the operator does not need to select whether or not to input the cooperation number for each process, the operability of the money management system is further improved.

  However, as shown in FIG. 22 (C) or FIG. 22 (D), the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100 can input the cooperation number together with the processing menu or the supplier menu on the display screen of the processing menu or the supplier menu. Necessity may be displayed simultaneously on one screen. The operator can use the keyboard 16 to select money processing and business partners, and to select whether or not to input a cooperation number. In this case, depending on whether or not the operation of the money management apparatus 200 is immediately after the operation of the teller machine 100, the operator can select whether or not to input the cooperation number for each process. For example, when operating the money management apparatus 200 immediately after the operation of the teller machine 100, the operator may not need to input the cooperation number because a plurality of processes do not overlap. On the other hand, when operating the money management apparatus 200 after a certain period of time has elapsed after the operation of the teller machine 100, there is a possibility that a plurality of processes may be duplicated, so the operator selects that it is necessary to input a cooperation number To do. As described above, by selecting whether or not the input of the cooperation number is necessary for each process, the operator can perform the process flexibly.

  The selection menu for whether or not to input the cooperation number in FIG. 22C or 22D is displayed only when the operator is a higher authority such as a cashier. If the operator is a subordinate authority such as Teller, input of the linkage number should not be omitted. Thereby, it is possible to achieve both operability and security of the money management system.

  The selection menu for determining whether or not to input the cooperation number may be displayed in both or any one of FIGS. 22C and 22D. Further, the supplier menu shown in FIG. 22D (or FIG. 23) may be simultaneously displayed on the same screen as the processing menu shown in FIG.

  If the money management apparatus 200 is not connected to the teller machine 100, it is of course unnecessary to input the cooperation number. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23, the display unit 15a determines whether or not the input of the cooperation number is necessary. Does not display the selection menu.

  As shown in FIGS. 22F and 22G, the operator inputs the contents of the collection process. In the display screen of FIG. 22 (F), the number of coin bars collected in the money management apparatus 200 is input for each denomination, and in the display screen of FIG. The number of bundles of banknotes to be collected is input for each denomination. The display screen of FIG. 22 (F) and the display screen of FIG. 22 (G) are preferably switched each time the “switch” key of the keyboard type operation unit 226 of the money management apparatus 200 is pressed. Of course, the teller machine 100 may display both the number of bars and the number of bundles of banknotes on one screen.

  When the contents of the collection process are confirmed on the display screens of FIGS. 22 (F) and 22 (G), the “complete” key is pressed as the confirmation input. Thereby, the processing content to be executed is determined. The teller machine 100 withdraws the input currency from the withdrawal port as shown in FIG. 22 (F) and FIG. 22 (G).

  Here, when it is selected that it is necessary to input a cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200, the teller machine 100 creates cooperation information including the cooperation number and issues a receipt on which the cooperation information is printed. On the other hand, when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is not required, the teller machine 100 creates the cooperation information, but does not issue a receipt. Even when the money management apparatus 200 is not connected to the teller machine 100, the teller machine 100 does not issue a receipt.

  In the present embodiment, whether or not the cooperation number needs to be input is initially set when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are installed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 22 (C) or FIG. 22 (D), the selection of whether or not to input a cooperation number is also displayed on the selection screen of the processing menu. Selected for each process.

  However, even when the necessity of inputting the cooperation number is switched by the switch 15h shown in FIG. 3, the operator can select the necessity of inputting the cooperation number for each process. Therefore, even when the necessity of inputting the cooperation number is switched by the switch 15h, as described above, the operator can perform flexible processing. In addition, when the necessity of inputting the cooperation number is switched by the switch 15h, it is not always necessary to select the necessity of inputting the cooperation number for each process. The switch 15h may be set to either one of necessity of input of the cooperation number (one of ON / OFF). In other words, the switch 15h has a function similar to that for initial setting of whether or not the input of the cooperation number is necessary.

  24 and 25 are explanatory diagrams illustrating screen display examples of the money management apparatus 200 in the case where cooperative processing is performed by the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200. FIG. In addition, when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number in the money management apparatus 200 is unnecessary, the display shown in FIGS. 24B to 24E is unnecessary. Hereinafter, the description of FIGS. 24B to 24E is based on the assumption that it is necessary to input a cooperation number.

  FIG. 24A shows the display screen configuration of the money management apparatus 200. The processing name, date / date and time, processing serial number, and person in charge number are displayed, and a processing sub-area, a guidance section, an error message section, and a status display section are provided.

  FIG. 24B shows a state waiting for input of the person in charge ID. Here, when the person-in-charge ID is input, a menu selection screen on which a list of operations that can be executed in the money management apparatus 200 is displayed as shown in FIG. In this menu selection screen, when “cooperative collection / loading” is selected here, the input of the personal identification number of the person in charge of the operation is requested. FIG. 24D shows a waiting state for input of a personal identification number.

  If the correct personal identification number is input and the person in charge of the operation has the operation processing authority of “cooperation collection / loading”, the processing is started, and as shown in FIG. When the cooperation number is input, the money management apparatus 200 acquires the cooperation information corresponding to the input cooperation number from the processing information management database 400 of the teller machine 100. If the link information corresponding to the input link number does not exist, or if the link information collection / loading operation corresponding to the input link number has been processed, the process is not executed.

  Moreover, the money management apparatus stock amount at the time of acquiring cooperation information is checked, and it is confirmed for each denomination whether the capacity of the money management apparatus 200 is exceeded as a result of performing the deposit / withdrawal operation of the cooperation information. . If there is a denomination exceeding the capacity of the money management apparatus 200, an error message is displayed. If there is no denomination exceeding the capacity of the money management apparatus 200, the process proceeds to the next operation procedure.

  If the operator of the teller machine 100 has the authority to operate the money management apparatus 200, the operator moves to the location of the money management apparatus 200 immediately after the operation of the teller machine 100, so Since the operation for which the process open request has been received will be executed, the person-in-charge ID input, the process selection, and the password input may all be omitted, and the process may enter a linkage number input waiting state.

  When the cooperation information corresponding to the input cooperation number is acquired, as shown in FIGS. 24F and 24G, the contents of the collection / loading operation of the cooperation information are displayed. The display screen of FIG. 24 (F) shows the number of coin bars collected by the money management apparatus 200 for each denomination, and the display screen of FIG. The number of bundles of banknotes to be collected is shown for each denomination. The display screen of FIG. 24 (F) and the display screen of FIG. 24 (G) are preferably switched each time the “switch” key of the keyboard type operation unit 226 of the money management apparatus 200 is pressed.

  When the contents of the link information collection / loading operation are confirmed on the display screens of FIGS. 24F and 24G, it is assumed here that the “complete” key is pressed twice as an input of the confirmation. Thereby, the processing content to be executed is determined.

  In accordance with the confirmation of the processing content, the money management apparatus 200 is in a state where it can execute a recovery / loading operation (here, a recovery process). That is, the lock of the storage unit for the designated denomination is released, and a message indicating that the collection / loading operation can be executed is displayed in the lower center portion of the display screen in FIG. In addition, when releasing the lock | rock of a some accommodating part, a priority can be set to cancellation | release of each lock | rock.

  When the collection / loading operation for all the designated denominations is completed, as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in the lower center of the display screen of FIG. 24H, if there is something to be stored in the “other storage section”, the “other storage” is pressed by pressing the “correction” key. It can be stored by releasing the lock of the “part”.

Thereafter, when the “execution” key is pressed, automatic inspection is started.

  In the automatic scrutiny, we measure the weight of each denomination, calculate the number of bundles of banknotes and the number of bar metal for each denomination, compare it with the amount of money management equipment in the data, and if they match, The process is terminated, and the display transitions to the menu selection screen or standby screen display state. FIG. 25A shows a screen display example during execution of automatic scrutiny.

  On the other hand, if there is a stock balance mismatch as a result of the automatic scrutiny, as shown in FIG. 25B, normal (OK) or abnormal (NG) scrutiny is displayed for each storage unit. Here, when the “Done” key is pressed, as shown in FIGS. 25 (C) and 25 (D), the amount of money and the weight measurement result of each denomination in the abnormal storage unit are displayed. The display screen in FIG. 25C and the display screen in FIG. 25D may be switched each time the “switch” key is pressed.

  Then, on the display screens of FIGS. 25E and 25F, a display for prompting confirmation by visual inspection is performed by opening each storage unit in which the abnormality (NG) of the examination result is detected.

  On the last display screen of FIG. 25G, the selection is awaiting selection of forced termination or re-execution of automatic scrutiny. If re-execution of automatic scrutiny is selected, processing from automatic scrutiny by weight measurement of each denomination (FIG. 25A) is performed again. On the other hand, when forced termination is selected using the keyboard-type operation unit 226, the approver's ID input and password input are requested, the processing is terminated forcibly according to those inputs, and a transition is made to the display state of the menu selection screen. .

As described above, when it is selected that the input of the cooperation number in the money management apparatus 200 is not required, the display shown in FIGS. 24 (B) to 24 (E) is unnecessary. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 24 (F) and 24 (G), the money management apparatus 200 discloses the money to be collected from the input screen. Thereafter, the processes shown in FIGS. 24H to 25G are as described above.

  Next, local processing in the money management apparatus 200 alone will be described. In the local processing, “2. Storage” or “3. Extraction” in FIG. 24C is selected. “Storing” indicates storing money from “held” into the money management apparatus 200. “Removal” indicates that money is removed from the money management apparatus 200 to “held”.

  First, open processing is performed as a premise for executing local processing. That is, when a person-in-charge ID is input to the money management apparatus 200 in a state of waiting for the person-in-charge ID input, a transition is made to a menu selection screen in which operations that can be executed in the money management apparatus 200 are displayed as a list.

  In this case, when “storing” is selected on the menu selection screen, the operator is requested to input the personal identification number. If the correct personal identification number is input and the person in charge of the operation has the “storage” operation processing authority, the processing is started.

  First, the total amount of money to be stored is input, the denomination is selected, and the number of bundles of bundles of bills to be stored and the number of bars are input. And the money management apparatus stock amount at that time is checked, and it is confirmed for every denomination whether the capacity | capacitance of the money management apparatus 200 is exceeded as a result of performing the input storage operation. When there is a denomination exceeding the capacity of the money management apparatus 200, an error message is displayed without accepting the processing input.

  When there are no denominations exceeding the capacity of the money management apparatus 200, a request is made to press the “complete” key. When the “complete” key is pressed, when the total amount input is set, the set total amount and each denomination It is confirmed whether or not the total number of bundles and the number of bundles match, and if they do not match, “complete” is not accepted and an error message is displayed. If the amounts match, a request to press the “Done” key again is made. When the “Done” key is pressed, the acceptance of processing is confirmed and the process proceeds to the next operation procedure.

  In response to the confirmation of the process acceptance, the money management apparatus 200 is in a state where it can execute the take-out / storage operation (storage process here). That is, the lock of the storage unit of the designated denomination is released, and the display screen displays that it is in a state where the take-out / storage operation can be executed. In addition, when releasing the lock | rock of a some accommodating part, a priority can be set to cancellation | release of each lock | rock.

  When the operation of taking out / storing all designated denominations (storing process in this case) is completed, the money management apparatus 200 enters a state of waiting for execution of automatic scrutiny. At this time, if there is something to be stored in the “other storage section”, the “other storage section” can be unlocked and stored by pressing the “correction” key. Thereafter, when the “execution” key is pressed, automatic inspection is started.

  In the automatic scrutiny, we measure the weight of each denomination, calculate the number of bundles of banknotes and the number of bar metal for each denomination, compare it with the amount of money management equipment in the data, and if they match, The process is terminated, and the display transitions to the menu selection screen or standby screen display state.

  On the other hand, if there is a discrepancy due to the automatic scrutiny, the scrutiny result normal (OK) or abnormality (NG) is displayed on the display screen for each storage unit. Here, when the “complete” key is pressed, the amount of money and the weight measurement result of each denomination in the abnormal storage unit are displayed. When there are a plurality of result display screens, each display screen is preferably switched every time the “switch” key is pressed.

  Then, each storage unit in which the abnormality (NG) of the scrutinization result is detected is opened and a display for prompting confirmation by visual observation is performed, and finally, the selection wait state for forced termination or re-execution of automatic scrutiny. If re-execution of automatic scrutiny is selected, processing from automatic scrutiny by weight measurement of each denomination is performed again. On the other hand, when forced termination is selected, the approver's ID input and password input are requested, the processing is forcibly terminated in response to those inputs, and the display transitions to the menu selection screen display state.

  Next, a procedure for tracking off in the money management system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. The miscalculation here means that the processing is registered in the teller machine 100 but the money management apparatus 200 does not complete the processing.

  In the miscounting tracking, based on the simplified total of the money management apparatus 200, whether or not the transaction totaling result in the money management apparatus 200 and the transaction totaling result in the teller machine 100 are consistent with each other in cooperation processing, that is, unprocessed cooperation. Check for any information.

  FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram showing a menu selection screen display example of the money management apparatus 200. When carrying out miscounting tracking, first, “12. Money management device simplified total” is selected on this menu selection screen.

  FIG. 27 is an explanatory view showing an example of the data content of the simplified total acquired from the money management apparatus 200 and an example of the content of the transaction total result calculated from the cooperation information managed by the teller machine.

  The example of the data content of the simplified total acquired from the money management apparatus 200 includes the total amount (1) of linked storage (payment) and the total amount (2) of linked withdrawal (withdrawal).

  Examples of transaction summary results calculated from the linkage information managed by the teller machine include the processed amount (3) of funds transfer from inventory (the depository's inventory) to the money management device, and cash on hand (held Amount of money stored in the money management device (4), the amount of money processed manually stored in the money management device (5), and money from the money management device to the inventory (the treasury vault) The processed amount (6) of movement, the processed amount (7) of withdrawal of money from the money management device to the handheld money (held amount), and the processed amount of money (8) of manual entry in the money management device include.

  By comparing and collating the data content of the simplified total obtained from the money management apparatus 200 and the content of the transaction totals calculated from the linkage information managed by the teller machine, it is determined whether or not they are consistent. Check whether all linkage processes have been processed.

  If all the cooperation processes have been processed, both formulas “(1) = (3) + (4) + (5)” and “(2) = (6) + (7) + (8)” Is established.

  If either or both of the above formulas are not established, it means that there is an unprocessed linkage process, and therefore, the transaction information query of the money management apparatus 200 indicates that the linkage information of the linkage information is not processed. It is checked whether it is in a state, and if necessary, a deposit / withdrawal operation in the money management apparatus 200, that is, storage / removal processing is performed.

  FIG. 28 is an explanatory diagram showing a screen display example when an unprocessed check is performed by a transaction history inquiry of the money management apparatus 200.

  When “4. Money management device transaction history inquiry” is selected on the menu selection screen shown in FIG. 28A, the transaction history inquiry of the money management device is performed, and the transaction history inquiry of the money management device shown in FIG. A screen is displayed.

  From the transaction history inquiry screen of FIG. 28 (B), it can be seen that the storage process of the linkage number 1234 of “1” is unprocessed. Also, the storage process of “3” has not been processed, but no linkage number has been assigned. The processing information of the storage process of “3” is local processing information related to the local process of the money management apparatus 200 alone, and the storage process itself has been completed, and the notification of the local process information to the teller machine 100 is also completed. However, it shows that the authentication printing of the local processing information in the teller machine 100 is incomplete. In the storage process of “3”, when authentication printing is performed by the teller machine 100, the unprocessed process is completed. In addition, although the extraction process of the cooperation number 459 of “4” is not yet processed, it is understood that it is not a target for cooperation with the teller machine 100 because it is a process related to funds on hand. In addition, it can be seen that all other money transfer (removal / storage) processes have been processed.

  Therefore, since it can be understood that the money movement process that must be performed in the money management apparatus 200 is the linkage process of the linkage number 1234 of “1”, the linkage process is performed and transmission / reception has not been completed. By transmitting / receiving the cooperation information between the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200, the miscalculation state is resolved.

  As described above, the money management apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used by moving to an arbitrary place by disconnecting the communication line. When the communication machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 transmit and receive the link information related to the deposit / withdrawal operation related to the cashier apparatus 100 and the money management apparatus 200 between the cash machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200, In addition to high, machine and post positions, it is possible to accurately manage the amount of money on hand, including money management devices. Can be managed accurately. Therefore, it is possible to save the labor of manual calculation at the time of close examination, and it is possible to realize low-cost business management.

  The teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected to each other via a communication line at a necessary point to transmit / receive linkage information, so that the teller machine 100 updates the linkage information to the latest information each time and accurately cooperates. Processing status management and related inventory management can be performed. In the above embodiment, the cooperation information transmitted from the money management apparatus 200 is stored in a storage device such as the hard disk drive 15g of the teller machine 100. However, the linkage information held by the money management apparatus 200 may be used only when the teller machine 100 makes an inquiry to the money management apparatus 200 without storing it in the storage device.

  In the money management apparatus 200, it is possible to omit the input of the link number by inputting only the ID information, or the ID information and the password or password, and the link information related to the person in charge according to the input of the ID information. Is displayed in a list, which is convenient because it is not necessary to be careful not to lose the authentication slip printed with the linkage number or to store the linkage number. In this case, even when some cooperative processing in the money management apparatus 200 is in a process waiting state or executed in a different order from the processing order in the teller machine 100, ID information is input by passing an ID card or the like. As a result, a list of cooperation information related to itself is displayed, so that the operation is simple. When there are a plurality of linkage numbers and linkage information corresponding to the same ID information, if there is a display of the amount of each linkage number and linkage information and the display of the registration time or processing time on the teller machine 100, the process can be easily selected. be able to.

  Further, by managing the corresponding money transfer process in the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 by the cooperation information, the deposit / withdrawal process in the cashier 100 and the collection / loading in the money management apparatus 200 set as one cooperation information. The processing can be executed by a separate person in charge of the operation, which is very convenient. Compared with the case where a single operator in charge performs both corresponding money transfer processes in the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200, it is possible to greatly reduce the time required to complete both money transfer processes. It is. In extreme cases, both money transfer processes can be completed almost simultaneously.

(Total collection processing of money stored in the money management apparatus 200)
An operation for collecting all the money stored in the money management apparatus 200 as an operator's hand (hereinafter referred to as “all collection processing”) will be described.

  In the total recovery process, the following processes are usually considered. The operator confirms the amount of money stored in the money management apparatus 200 and keeps the amount of money in a memo or the like. Then, the operator selects a take-out process from the money management apparatus 200 to the handheld in the teller machine 100, and manually inputs the stock amount of the money management apparatus 200. The teller machine 100 creates a processing queue according to the stock amount input manually, and transmits the processing queue to the money management apparatus 200. The operator collects all the money stored in the money management apparatus 200.

  However, in such a process, since the operator refrains from the money amount of the money management apparatus 200 and inputs the money amount to the teller machine 100 manually, there is a lot of trouble for the operator and there is an input error by the operator. May occur.

  Therefore, a new total recovery process is proposed below.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the flow of all recovery processing in this embodiment. First, the operator inputs ID information to the teller machine 100 and logs in (STEP 103). When the operator logs in, the teller machine 100 displays a processing menu on the display unit 15a. The operator selects “all collection processing” from the processing menu (STEP 113). When “all collection processing” is selected, FIG. 24B is displayed on the money management apparatus 200, and when the ID information is input, a processing menu (C) is displayed. Note that in the case of all collection processing, the supplier from which money is collected is only “hand-held”, so there is no need to display the supplier menu. In this case, the teller machine 100 may automatically set “handheld” as the business partner.

  When the all collection process is selected, the teller machine 100 transmits a stock amount request signal to the money management device 200 in order to confirm the stock amount of money stored in the money management device 200 (STEP 123). The stock amount request signal is a signal for requesting information on the stock amount of money stored in the money management apparatus 200.

  The money management apparatus 200 that has received the balance request signal transmits information on the balance of money stored in the money management apparatus 200 to the cashier 100 (STEP 202). At this time, verification of ID information is not executed. This is because there is no movement of money at this time point, and only the money amount information of the money management apparatus is transmitted and received between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200.

  The teller machine 100 receives the balance information of the money management apparatus 200, reflects this balance information in the money management apparatus balance 4X shown in FIG. 15, and also reflects the details of the entire collection process (STEP 133). .

  FIG. 30 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an example of the details of the entire collection process. This specification is displayed on the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100, and includes information on the denominations and the number of bundles / number of coins stored in the money management apparatus 200. Further, this specification may include information on the operator's ID information and linkage number. In FIG. 30, the amount of money is also displayed for each denomination. However, the amount of money is simply calculated from the denominations collected and the number of bundles / number of pieces, so the display is omitted. Also good. In addition, rose banknotes and loose coins are displayed in the number of sheets.

  Refer to FIG. 29 again. After confirming the details of the entire collection process, the operator presses the completion button of the teller machine 100. When the operator selects that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is necessary (YES in STEP 138), the cashier 100 receives and issues a statement including the balance information of the money management apparatus 200 ( (STEP143).

  The operator holds the receipt issued from the teller machine 100 and performs the procedure of the entire collection process in the money management apparatus 200. At this time, the operations of STEP 203, STEP 213, STEP 223, STEP 233, and STEP 253 are the same as the operations of STEP 200, STEP 210, STEP 220, STEP 230, and STEP 250 shown in FIG. The operations of STEP153, STEP167, STEP169, STEP173, and STEP183 are the same as the operations of STEP150, STEP160, STEP162, STEP164, STEP170, and STEP180 shown in FIG. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  In STEP 138, when the operator selects that the input of the cooperation number to the money management apparatus 200 is unnecessary (NO in STEP 138), after the operator presses the completion button of the teller machine 100, the teller machine 100 performs processing. The queue is transmitted to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 167). Since it is not necessary to enter the linkage number, no receipt is issued.

  Thereafter, the teller machine 100 executes STEP 173 to STEP 183, and the money management apparatus 200 executes STEP 233 to STEP 253. Therefore, STEP143 to STEP169 are omitted in the teller machine 100, and STEP203 to STEP223 are omitted in the money management apparatus 200.

  If it is selected that the input of the cooperation number is unnecessary (NO in STEP 138), the processing queue may not include the information of the cooperation number.

  After the money management apparatus 200 acquires the processing queue, the operator collects all the money in the money management apparatus 200 and manages it as a handheld (STEP 243). At this time, the money management apparatus 200 verifies that there is no remaining money (STEP 243). More specifically, the money management apparatus 200 starts automatic scrutiny by using the storage drawers 211 to 214 as a trigger. In automatic scrutiny, the weight of each denomination is measured and it is confirmed that there is no money of all denominations.

  If any denomination has a balance, the money management apparatus 200 displays an error on the display unit 227. The display unit 227 displays the money denomination and the number of bundles / the number of money still remaining in the money management apparatus 200 together with the error display. At this time, the money management apparatus 200 may automatically open the storage drawers 211 to 214 again. The operator collects all money from the inside of the money management apparatus 200.

  When the stock amount is updated in STEP 183 and STEP 253, the stock amounts of money stored in the money management apparatus 200 are all added to the hand-held amount. And the money management device stock is zero.

  In the all collection process according to the present embodiment, when the operator selects the previous seed process, the money management apparatus stock is automatically updated between the cash machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200, and the cash machine 100 can accurately exchange money. The management device stock can be acquired. Thereby, the teller machine 100 can create cooperation information based on the money management apparatus stock amount after an update. As a result, there is no need for the operator to refrain from the amount of money in the money management apparatus 200, and it is not necessary to manually input the amount of money to the teller machine 100. Accordingly, it is possible to save the operator's trouble and to prevent an input error by the operator.

  Even in the case of all collection processing, it can be selected that the input of the cooperation number is not necessary. Thereby, an operator can save the trouble of inputting a cooperation number into the money management apparatus 200, and operability can be improved.

(Data clear processing of the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200)
The data clearing process is a process of determining each stock amount of the teller machine 100, the money management apparatus 200, the hand held and the stock periodically (for example, every day). The data clear process is a so-called tightening operation.

  Normally, in the data clear process, in the teller machine 100, the operator confirms the amount and processing of money stored in the teller machine 100 and determines the amount and account of the day. At this time, the teller machine 100 performs the data clear process even if the data on the money management device balance is different from the balance of money actually stored in the money management device 200 (when the balance is indefinite). Can be performed.

  However, if the cashier 100 executes the data clear process while the money management apparatus 200 is indeterminate, there is a risk that an inaccurate process may be overlooked.

  Therefore, a new data clear process is proposed below.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the flow of data clear processing in the present embodiment. First, the operator inputs ID information to the teller machine 100 and logs in (STEP 104). When the operator logs in, the teller machine 100 displays a processing menu on the display unit 15a, and the operator selects “DATA CLEAR” from the processing menu (STEP 114). When “DATA CLEAR” is selected, FIG. 24B is displayed on the money management apparatus 200, and when the ID information is input, a processing menu (C) is displayed. Then, “DATA CLEAR” is selected from the processing menu shown in FIG.

  When data clear is selected, the teller machine 100 transmits a status data request to confirm whether or not the money management apparatus 200 is in a state in which data clear is possible (STEP 124). The state where data can be cleared includes a state where the amount of money management device 200 can be detected, a state where money management device 200 is not in use, a state where cashier 100 is managed, and the like. Therefore, the money management apparatus 200 that has received the status data request transmits information indicating that the data can be cleared based on the above conditions to the cashier 100 as status data (STEP 204).

  The teller machine 100 receives the status data of the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 134), and checks whether the money management apparatus 200 is in a state where data can be cleared based on the status data (STEP 144).

  When the money management apparatus 200 is not in a state where data can be cleared (NO in STEP 144), the teller machine 100 displays on the display unit 15a that data clear of the money management apparatus 200 is impossible (STEP 135).

  The operator investigates the factor in the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 214). At this time, the operator logs in to the money management apparatus 200 as necessary. When the operator presses the completion button in the money management apparatus after coping with the cause, STEP 124 and STEP 206 are executed again. Thereby, the teller machine 100 can acquire the updated state data. Then, the teller machine 100 checks whether or not the money management apparatus 200 is in a state where data can be cleared based on the updated state data (STEP 144).

  When it is not clear why the data cannot be cleared in the money management apparatus 200, the operator switches off the load cell 261 that measures the weight of money in the money management apparatus 200, or between the money management apparatus 200 and the teller machine 100. Disconnect the connection. Thereby, even if data clear is impossible in the money management apparatus 200, the teller machine 100 can continue the data clear process of the teller machine itself.

  When the money management apparatus 200 is in a state in which data can be cleared (YES in STEP 144), the teller machine 100 sends a balance request to the money management apparatus 200 in order to request the money balance data stored in the money management apparatus 200. (STEP 144). When the money management apparatus 200 receives the balance request, it transmits its balance data to the teller machine 100 (STEP 224).

  The teller machine 100 executes the clear check when receiving the balance data of the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 154). The clear check is, for example, a check of the remaining limit of the machine balance 1, the post balance 2, the money management device balance 4X, a check of an unprocessed processing queue (cooperation information), and the like. If the data cannot be cleared (STEP 154), for example, if any stock is less than the remaining limit, the teller machine 100 displays on the display unit 15a that the data cannot be cleared (STEP 155). . In order to cope with this, the operator replenishes money in the storage of the teller machine 100 or the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 157). The money to be replenished is taken out of the safe or on hand. When an unprocessed processing queue remains in the teller machine 100, the storage process, the extraction process, the loading process, the recovery process, and the like described above are executed in order to process the unprocessed process queue. In this case, since the stock amount is changed, the teller machine 100 requests the stock amount of the money management apparatus 200 again (STEP 144). Then, the teller machine 100 checks again whether or not the data can be cleared based on the updated balance data (STEP 154).

  If data clear is still not possible, the operator may end the data clear process. Alternatively, for example, an administrator such as Teller may forcibly clear data in STEP 154.

  When the data clear process is possible (YES in STEP 154), the teller machine 100 transmits a data clear request to the money management apparatus 200 (STEP 162). The teller machine 100 transmits a data clear request and starts data clearing itself (STEP 172). When receiving the data clear request, the money management apparatus 200 executes a data clear process (STEP 234). Thereby, in the money management apparatus 200, the amount of money in the day can be decided.

  The teller machine 100 requests a journal file of the money management apparatus 200 in the data clear process. The money management apparatus 200 transmits a journal file in response to a journal file request. The journal file is log information of all processes (storage process, take-out process, collection process, loading process, etc.) involving the movement of money executed on that day, and the date and time when each process was executed, Includes denomination, number of bundles / number, operator ID information, etc.

  The teller machine 100 acquires a journal file from the money management apparatus 200 and stores it in the RAM 15e. Thereby, the teller machine 100 can manage all the information of the money management apparatus 200 of the day centrally.

Thereafter, the teller machine 100 confirms the next business day (STEP 194). More specifically, the next business day date is set. If there is a holiday, set the next business day.

    Thereby, the teller machine 100 can execute not only the data clear process of the teller machine 100 itself but also the data clear process of the money management apparatus 200. As a result, it is possible to prevent the data clear process from being executed while the money management device 200 is indeterminate, and to suppress a situation where an inaccurate process is overlooked.

  In the above embodiment, the teller machine 100 compares the first cooperative authentication information with the second cooperative authentication information in order to identify or authenticate the cooperative information. However, identification or authentication of the cooperation information may be performed on the money management apparatus 200 side.

  For example, the money management apparatus 200 receives cooperation information including a cooperation number (first cooperation authentication information) from the cashier 100. When the input of the cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information) is necessary, the money management apparatus 200 requests the operator to input the cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information). When the link number (second link authentication information) is input from the operation unit 226, the control unit 225c of the money management apparatus 200 inputs the link number (first link authentication information) obtained from the cashier 100 and the operator. The obtained cooperation number (second cooperation authentication information) is compared. When the first cooperative authentication information and the second cooperative authentication information match, the control unit 225c permits the money management apparatus 200 to accept and remove money. The operator takes in and out money based on the linkage information.

  If the first cooperative authentication information and the second cooperative authentication information do not match, the money management apparatus 200 outputs a signal indicating that the first cooperative authentication information and the second cooperative authentication information do not match. To the machine 100. Upon receipt of this signal, the teller machine 100 sends other unprocessed linkage information to the money management apparatus 200. In addition, when there are a plurality of unprocessed linkage information, the teller machine 100 may send all of them to the money management apparatus 200 in advance. Thereby, the money management apparatus 200 becomes unnecessary to transmit the signal which shows that 1st cooperation authentication information and 2nd cooperation authentication information do not correspond to the teller machine 100. FIG.

  When the input of the second cooperative authentication information is unnecessary, the money management apparatus 200 does not request the operator to input the cooperative number. The control unit 225c permits money processing to the money management apparatus 200 without inputting the second cooperative authentication information. The operator takes in and out money based on the linkage information.

  As described above, the money management apparatus 200 may specify and authenticate the cooperation information. Even in this case, the effect of the above embodiment is not lost.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when it is necessary to input the cooperation number, the cooperation number is printed on the receipt, and the operator sees the contents and inputs the money management apparatus 200. In this case, only the display is performed without printing the cooperation number, and the operator may store the cooperation number and input it to the money management apparatus 200.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the teller machine 100 displays all business partners that can be traded as the first and second business partner menus. However, the teller machine 100 according to the second embodiment first preferentially displays only specific business partners that are likely to be selected as business partners. And when changing the displayed business partner, the teller machine 100 displays the other business partner given priority next. That is, priorities are assigned to the business partners, and the teller machine 100 sequentially displays the business partners on the display unit 15a in the order of the priorities. The priority order of the business partners can be set in the initial setting menu when the teller machine 100 is initially set. Other operations and configurations of the second embodiment may be the same as those of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 32A and FIG. 32B are display screens of the teller machine 100 displaying the initial setting menu. The initial setting menu includes a plurality of business partners in order to preset the priority order to be displayed on the display unit 15a. The initial setting menu can be displayed in the initial setting such as when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are installed.

  FIG. 32A shows an initial setting menu when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected. FIG. 32B shows that the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are disconnected. It is an initial setting menu for the case. The operator determines the priority of the business partner when the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected when processing money and when the cashier 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are disconnected when processing money. Each is preset.

  As shown in FIG. 32A, the initial setting menu for the case where the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected includes the money management apparatus 200. Thereby, the operator can set the priority order of the business partners including the money management apparatus 200.

  As shown in FIG. 32B, the initial setting menu for the case where the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are disconnected does not include the money management apparatus 200. Thereby, the operator can set the priority of suppliers other than the money management apparatus 200.

  For example, referring to FIG. 32A, the operator sets priorities in the order of “1. money management device”, “2. cash machine”, “3. Further, referring to FIG. 32B, the operator sets priorities in the order of “1. Teller machine” and “2. Handheld”.

  The supplier menu may be initially set for various processes (payment, withdrawal, collection, loading). In this case, the initial setting menu may be provided not only for the presence / absence of connection between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 but also for each type of processing.

  When money is actually processed after the initial setting, the teller machine 100 displays the supplier menu according to the initial setting. For example, FIG. 33 (A) and FIG. 33 (B) show a supplier menu displayed on the display unit 15a when processing money. FIG. 33A shows a supplier menu displayed on the display unit 15a when the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected, and FIG. 33B shows a teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus. This is a supplier menu displayed on the display unit 15a when 200 is disconnected.

  33A and 33B can be displayed on the display unit 15a as first and second supplier menus in place of FIGS. 22D and 23, respectively.

  When the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100, the first supplier menu shown in FIG. 33A preferentially selects only the money management apparatus 200 that is likely to be initially selected as a supplier.

For example, when <Change> is clicked, "Teller" is displayed. Furthermore, when <Change> is clicked again, “Handheld” is displayed. In this way, the display unit 15a sequentially displays the business partners in accordance with the business partners' priority order.

  When the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected by the teller machine 100, the second supplier menu shown in FIG. 33 (B) preferentially selects only the teller machine 100 that is likely to be initially selected as a supplier. it's shown. Thus, the operator can easily select the teller machine 100.

  When changing to a supplier other than the teller machine 100, the operator displays the supplier with the next highest priority by clicking <Change>. For example, when <Change> is clicked, “Handheld” is displayed. In this way, the display unit 15a sequentially displays the business partners in accordance with the business partners' priority order.

  In this way, the teller machine 100 can preferentially display the suppliers in the order in which the teller machine 100 is likely to be selected as a supplier during the initial setting. Moreover, the display part 15a displays a supplier one by one in order with a high priority. Thereby, the operator selects the business partner displayed first with a high probability. Therefore, the operability of the teller machine 100 is improved.

  As described above, the initial setting menu can be provided for each type of processing as well as whether or not the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected. Thereby, not only the connection between the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 but also the priority order of business partners can be set for each of the processing of money. Thereby, the operativity of the teller machine 100 further improves.

(Third embodiment)
The teller machine 100 according to the third embodiment changes the supplier menu depending on whether or not the processed currency includes wrapping currency or bundled bills. Other operations and configurations of the third embodiment may be the same as the operations and configurations of the first embodiment. The wrapping money is a so-called bar that is formed by wrapping a plurality of coins. A bundled banknote is a bundle of banknotes obtained by binding a plurality of banknotes.

  Usually, wrapping money or bundled bills are often collected by the money management apparatus 200 or replenished from the money management apparatus 200. Therefore, when the money to be processed includes wrapping money or bundled banknotes, the supplier is often the money management apparatus 200. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the supplier menu is changed depending on whether or not packaged currency or bundled banknotes are included in the processed currency.

  For example, as described above with reference to FIGS. 22 (F) and 22 (G), the operator inputs information on money to be processed. At this time, the wrapping money is indicated by “x”, and the bundled banknote is indicated as “y bundle”. x and y are integers. If x and y are greater than or equal to zero, the teller machine 100 determines that the money to be processed includes wrapping money or bundled banknotes.

  When the money to be processed includes wrapping money or bundled banknotes, the display unit 15a displays the money management apparatus as a money supplier. For example, the display unit 15a may display a first supplier menu including the money management apparatus 200 as shown in FIG. 22D of the first embodiment, or FIG. 33 of the second embodiment. Only the money management apparatus 200 may be preferentially displayed as shown in (A).

  When the money to be processed does not include wrapping money or bundled banknotes, that is, when the money to be processed is only rose coins and loose banknotes, the display unit 15a does not display the money management apparatus 200 as a money supplier. The customer other than the money management apparatus 200 is displayed. For example, the display unit 15a may display a second supplier menu that does not include the money management apparatus 200 as shown in FIG. 23 of the first embodiment, or FIG. 33 (B) of the second embodiment. ), A supplier other than the money management apparatus 200 may be preferentially displayed.

  In addition, even if the money to be processed includes packaged money or bundled banknotes, if the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the cashier 100, the money management apparatus 200 is excluded from the supplier menu. In this case, FIG. 23 or FIG. 32B is displayed on the display unit 15a.

  When the money to be processed includes wrapping money or bundled banknotes, and the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected, the display unit 15a displays FIG. 22D or FIG. 32 as the supplier menu. The supplier menu shown in (A) is displayed. As described above, the third embodiment can be combined with the first embodiment.

  The supplier menu that is changed depending on whether the processed currency includes wrapping currency or bundled bills can be set by default. Therefore, the third embodiment can be combined with the second embodiment.

  The teller machine 100 according to the third embodiment changes the supplier menu depending on whether the money to be processed includes wrapping money or bundled bills. Thereby, the operator can easily select the supplier of the packaged money or bundled bills, so that the operability is further improved.

(Fourth embodiment)
The teller machine 100 according to the fourth embodiment changes the supplier menu by processing money. In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, “10. Current deposit” and “11. Current deposit” are displayed in the processing menu. FIG. 34 is displayed on the display unit 15a of the teller machine 100 in place of FIG. The current remittance is a process of supplying a money pipe from the outside to the money management system by cash transport when the money in the store is short. On the contrary, the current sending money is a process of transporting money from the outside to the money management system by cash transport when the money in the store is in excess.

  Normally, in FIG. 34, when “deposit”, “withdrawal”, and “loading” are selected, the processed coins may be a mixture of wrapping coins / bundle bills and loose bills / rose coins. In this case, the money to be processed may be only wrapping coins / bundle bills, or only loose bills / rose coins. On the other hand, when “collection”, “current deposit / payment”, and “current deposit” are selected, the currency to be processed is limited to wrapping coins / bundles. Therefore, when “collection” or “current payment” is selected, it is preferable that the business partner is the money management apparatus 200. However, since “current remittance / payment” is selected when there is a shortage of money in the store, the money is often wrapping coins / bundled bills, but is often distributed to the cashier 100 or handheld. Of course, the operator may select the money management apparatus 200 as a business partner even when “current remittance” is selected.

[Recovery processing, loading processing]
The collection process is a process of collecting the money stored in the storage of the teller machine 100 in the money management apparatus 200 when the teller machine 100 becomes full. The loading process is a process of loading money in the money management apparatus 200 into the teller machine 100 when the storage of the teller machine 100 becomes empty, or when the bank funds become insufficient.

  In general, when the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100, the client of the collection process and the loading process is often the money management apparatus 200. When the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the teller machine 100, the supplier of the collection process or the loading process is often “handheld”.

  Therefore, in FIG. 34, when “collection” or “loading” is selected, the display unit 15a is displayed in the first embodiment (FIG. 22 (D) as long as the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100. )) May be displayed as a supplier menu including the money management apparatus 200, or the suppliers may be sequentially displayed based on the priority order as in the second embodiment (FIG. 33A). Also good.

  Even if “collection” or “loading” is selected, when the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the teller machine 100, the display unit 15a displays the money management apparatus 200 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 23). May be displayed, or the business partners may be sequentially displayed based on the priority order as in the second embodiment (FIG. 33B). For example, when the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the teller machine 100, the supplier of the collection process or the loading process is often “handheld”. Therefore, the display unit 15a displays, for example, “handheld” as a business partner having the second highest priority after the money management apparatus 200.

[Current Remittance, Current Remittance]
In the processing menu shown in FIG. 34, when the current remittance is selected, the money in the money management system is insufficient, so that the money is more than the money management apparatus 200 that stores the money. It is preferentially assigned to the machine 100 or handheld. Therefore, regardless of whether or not the teller machine 100 and the money management apparatus 200 are connected, the display unit 15a displays a supplier menu that does not include the money management apparatus 200 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 23). Alternatively, as in the second embodiment (FIG. 33B), the business partners may be sequentially displayed based on the priority order.

  In the processing menu shown in FIG. 34, when the current sending money is selected and the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the cashier 100, the display unit 15a displays the first embodiment (FIG. 22D). The supplier menu including the money management apparatus 200 may be displayed as described above, or the suppliers including the money management apparatus 200 are sequentially displayed based on the priority order as in the second embodiment (FIG. 33A). It may be displayed.

  When the current sending money is selected, but the money management device 200 is not connected to the cash machine 100, the display unit 15a does not include the money management device 200 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 23). A menu may be displayed, or the business partners may be sequentially displayed based on the priority order as in the second embodiment (FIG. 33B). For example, when the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the teller machine 100, the supplier of the current sending money is often “teller machine” or “handheld”. Accordingly, the display unit 15a displays, for example, “Teller / Trading Machine” or “Handheld” as the business partner with the second highest priority after the money management apparatus 200.

[New ticket]
When the currency to be processed is a new ticket, the currency is often a bundle of bills and the customer is the currency management device 200 in many cases. This is because if a new ticket is deposited in the cashier 100, the new ticket may be immediately soiled. Therefore, in this case, as long as the money management apparatus 200 is connected to the teller machine 100, it is preferable to include the money management apparatus 200 in the supplier menu.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 34, the operator may select that the money to be deposited is a new ticket. When the money to be deposited is a new ticket, the display unit 15a may display a supplier menu including the money management apparatus 200 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 22D), or As in the second embodiment (FIG. 33A), the business partners including the money management apparatus 200 may be sequentially displayed based on the priority order.

  Even if the money to be deposited is a new ticket, if the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the cashier 100, the money management apparatus 200 is excluded from the supplier menu. For example, the display unit 15a may display a supplier menu that does not include the money management apparatus 200 as in the first embodiment (FIG. 23), or in the second embodiment (FIG. 33B). As described above, the business partners may be sequentially displayed based on the priority order. For example, when the money management apparatus 200 is disconnected from the teller machine 100, the supplier of the new ticket is often “teller machine” or “handheld”. Accordingly, the display unit 15a displays, for example, “Teller / Trading Machine” or “Handheld” as the business partner with the second highest priority after the money management apparatus 200.

  As described above, the teller machine 100 according to the present embodiment changes the supplier menu according to the process selected. Accordingly, the operator can easily select a business partner, and the operability of the teller machine 100 is improved. Further, since the teller machine 100 can change the supplier menu depending on whether or not the currency to be processed is a new ticket, the operability of the teller machine 100 is further improved.

  In the above embodiment, every time the operator changes a business partner, the teller machine 100 sequentially displays business partners according to the priority order as shown in FIG. However, when the trading partner with the highest priority is changed, the teller machine 100 may display a list of other trading partners on one screen. In this case, the operator may select a desired business partner from the business partner list. Even if it is such a form, the effect of the said embodiment is not lost.
