DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a payment process for paying cash at each store in a night safe of a financial institution such as a bank or cash collected from a large store such as a department store for each sales contact. About the system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, after each store is closed, the sales on that day are totaled, put in a cash bag together with a deposit slip in which necessary items are described, and passed through a night safe or a cash collection company. The collected money is collected at the house bank or the settlement center of the house bank.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 79, the settlement of the collected cash is performed on the next business day. And in such a settlement processing system, when processing a large number of collected cash bags, for each cash bag, first,
Perform the deposit processing of coins in the coin settlement terminal to which the coin deposit machine is connected, and then perform the deposit processing of bills in the bill settlement terminal to which the bill deposit machine is connected,
Finally, at the main terminal, work is performed to check the settlement status of all cash bags. When the cash payment processing is performed by this payment processing system, the store number (three digits) and the subject (1
Digit) and an account number (7 digits) of the 11-digit transaction account number, and thereby the transaction account is specified.

[0003]

In particular, when the cash collected from a large store for each sales counter is settled, a large number of cash bags are collected for each sales counter. It is necessary to perform a large number of deposit processing for each bag for the same transaction account. Therefore, in such a deposit processing, it is necessary to input the same transaction account number many times. There was a risk that a mistake would occur. Also, in the above cash settlement process, it is necessary to perform a large number of deposit processes for the same transaction account, while it is necessary to check the settlement result for each window. The cash bags are provided with individual numbers for identifying them, and the individual cash bags are distinguished according to the individual numbers. However, since the work of assigning such individual numbers has to be performed manually, there is a problem that the individual numbers are assigned repeatedly, which causes a problem that the cash bags cannot be distinguished.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and stores a transaction account number input to settle the first cash bag. It is possible to make it based on the number, thereby reducing the burden of inputting the transaction account number, reducing the input error, and giving the unique individual number without fail in the settlement process of these cash bags. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a payment processing system capable of performing the above.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there are provided a plurality of sub-terminals to which a cash depositing machine for performing a cash counting process is connected, and an overall control connected to these sub-terminals. the and a main terminal to perform at these sub-terminal and the main terminal <br/> Le, a settlement processing system for settlement processing cash or the like which is credited from suppliers, the sub-terminal, the same Mode setting means that can set a large bag deposit processing mode specified when performing the settlement processing of a large number of cash bags for the transaction account number, and an account number that can input transaction account number data indicating the account number of the customer Input means, individual number input means capable of inputting a unique individual number set for each department of each supplier preset for each cash bag, and large bag by the mode setting means. The transaction account number data is provided on condition that the money processing mode is selected, that the transaction account number data is input by the account number input means, and that the individual number is input by the individual number input means. Holding and performing the settlement process of the cash bag, thereafter, on the condition that a new individual number is input in the individual number input unit, a settlement processing unit that continuously performs the settlement process of the subsequent cash bag,
When the settlement processing of each cash bag is completed, the settlement processing data indicating the settlement processing result is stored together with the transaction account number and the individual number, the data storage means for authentication printing, and the individual number is input to the settlement processing means. In this case, there is provided an individual number use determining unit that searches for the individual number stored by the data storage unit and determines whether the input individual number is used.

[0006]

[0007]

[0008]

[0009] The following effects are achieved based on the invention configured as described above. In the settlement processing system shown in the onset Akira, there settlement process of the money bag for the same account number is a large number, if an attempt is made to collectively handle this, by the mode setting means by selecting a large bag deposit processing mode In the state where the transaction account number data input at the time of the processing of the cash bag is held first, the settlement processing of the cash bag is performed, and in the subsequent settlement processing of the cash bag, the transaction account number data is input one by one. Without performing the operation, the operation can be continuously performed on condition that the individual number of the cash bag is input. That is, in the payment processing system of the present invention, it is possible to perform the subsequent payment processing of the cash bag while holding the transaction account number input for the payment processing of the first cash bag. It is not necessary to input the transaction account number one by one in order to settle each cash bag like this, which can reduce the mistake of inputting the transaction account number and save the trouble of inputting the transaction account number, as a result, The efficiency of the entire checkout process can also be improved.

[0010]

Furthermore, in the settlement processing system shown in the onset Ming, when the identification number is entered in the checkout process means searches the identification number stored by the data storage means, the inputted identification number is used Since it is determined whether or not an individual number has been used repeatedly, this can be easily confirmed even if the individual number is used repeatedly, and as a result, an operator is prevented from inputting data artificially. it can.

Moreover, in the settlement processing system according to the present invention, since a unique individual number set for each department of each business partner is used as an individual number, for example, a cashier number of a supermarket, a sales counter number of a department store, etc. For example, the settlement process can be advanced by using such a method, and the settlement process of cash for each section can be efficiently performed.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a payment processing system 100 provided in a medium-sized payment processing center.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, a master file relating to a customer who is a business partner, which is stored in a memory (not shown) of the main terminal 1, will be described. FIG. 2 shows an example of a business partner account set in the master file. At least one business partner data 30 is stored for one business partner. The business partner data 30 includes a store number 31, a subject (usually indicating an immediate) 32,
An account number 33 and an account holder 34, one store account is specified by the 11-digit transaction account number represented by the store number 31, the subject 32, and the account number 33. In the present embodiment, the above-described master file is stored in the memory of the main terminal 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this. , The data may be transferred to the memory of the main terminal 1 or the memories of the other sub-terminals 8 to 13.

Next, with reference to FIG. 3, an example of a deposit slip 40 used when using the settlement processing system 100 will be described. This deposit slip 40 is entered in the date entry field 4
1, a store number entry field 42, a subject entry field 43, an account number entry field 44, an account holder entry field 45, a branch number entry field 46, and a deposit amount entry field 47. The customer as a business partner can enter the date entry field 41, store number entry field 42, subject entry field 43, account number entry field 44,
Fill in the necessary fields in the account holder entry field 45, branch number entry field 46, and deposit amount entry field 47, and then
The deposit slip 40 is put in a cash bag together with cash. The branch number 46a entered in the branch number entry column 46 is
A unique number set for each account department,
For example, the number is set in accordance with a supermarket cash register number, a sales counter number of a department store or the like (the branch number 46a corresponds to an “individual number” in the claims). Further, the branch number 46a may be a unique number within one supplier, and may be a duplicate number for different suppliers.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, of a flow chart showing the contents of control when cash is processed in the sub-terminals 8 to 13 of the settlement processing system 100. FIG. The following flowchart is executed by the control unit of the subterminals 8 to 13, but is not limited thereto, and may be executed by the control unit of the main terminal 1 via the subterminals 8 to 13. In addition, the following flow chart is for calculating a large number of cash bags created for each window (cash bags containing only coins, cash bags containing only banknotes, and cash bags containing a mixture of coins and banknotes (excluding counting)). , The steps are configured. The following flowchart is executed when the "large bag deposit processing mode" is selected by the mode setting means provided in the input section of the subterminals 8 to 13.

<< Step 1 (indicated as SP1 in FIG. 4, the same applies hereinafter) >> Coin depositing machines 20, 21 and bill depositing machine 2
It is determined whether or not cash has been set in one of the deposit ports of cash deposit machines 2 to 25 (collectively referred to as cash deposit machines 20 to 25). If YES, the process proceeds to the next step 2. In addition, the setting of cash into the cash inlets of the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 is performed manually by an operator.
Is set in the cash deposit machine 2 or not.
Judgment is made based on the detection signals of the cash detection sensors provided at the deposit ports 0 to 25.

<< Step 2 >> The operator inputs a sub terminal 8 to a cash deposit machine 20 to 25 on which cash is set.
It is determined whether or not a transaction account number 35 (see FIG. 8) including a store number 31, a subject 32, and an account number 33 for specifying the transaction account has been input through the input unit 13;
In the case of S, proceed to the next step 3. In this step 2, a screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display units of the subterminals 8 to 13, and the transaction account number 35 is displayed in the transaction account input field 51 in the screen display by an input operation of the operator. To be input.

<< Step 3 >> The sub terminal 8 of the cash deposit machine 20-25 in which the cash is set is received from the operator.
13, the branch number 46a (FIGS. 9 to 11)
Is determined, the process proceeds to the next step 4 if YES, and proceeds to step 5 if NO.
In this step 3, a screen display as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display units of the subterminals 8 to 13, and the branch number input field 52 in the screen display is displayed in the deposit slip 40 by the input operation of the operator. Is entered. In step 3, branch number 4
If 6a is not input, an instruction not to input the branch number 46a is output from the input unit.

<< Step 4 >> In order to check whether or not the branch number 46a input in step 3 has already been used and has not been duplicated by this input, the transaction account number 35 input in step 2 and the corresponding A check is performed based on the combination data of the branch number 46a, and the inputted branch number 46a
YE that automatically determines whether or not to approve
In the case of S, the process proceeds to the next step 6, and in the case of NO that cannot be approved, the process returns to the previous step 3. That is, in this step 4, when the branch number 46a is input to the branch number input field 52, the branch number 46a is set to the settlement processing data 65 previously stored in the memory of the main terminal 1 (see step 22). Is compared with the entered branch number 46a of the relevant transaction account number 35, and if it is determined that there is no match, a screen display indicating that the duplicate use is performed is displayed on the display unit; and Returning to step 3, another branch number 46a is entered in the branch number input field 52. << Step 5 >> If the branch number 46a is not input in Step 3, the branch number 46a in the settlement processing data 65 (see Step 22) stored in the memory of the main terminal 1 is referred to, and is not used. New branch number 46a
Are automatically assigned and written in the branch number input field 52. As the branch number 46a, for example, a large number of three-digit numbers may be stored in advance, and these numbers may be read out and added to the branch number input box 52. Alternatively, a three-digit number may be generated by a random number. May be added to the branch number input field 52. Further, 1, 2, 3,...
The number may be automatically assigned from the number.

<Step 6> When the branch number 46a is inputted and confirmed (steps 3 and 4) or automatically numbered (steps 3 and 5), the cash deposit machine 20 to which the cash is set is automatically set. A count start signal is output to the counter 25 to count the set cash. The cash after performing the counting process in step 6 is temporarily stored in a temporary storage unit provided in each of the cash depositing machines 20 to 25, and then is instructed by an operator (step 18).
Based on step 21), the money is deposited in the cash storage unit or returned to the return port. In addition, when cash counting processing is being performed in the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 based on the counting start signal, a display "counting processing" (indicated by reference numeral 60) as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. Do.

<< Step 7 >> In step 6, a cash counting start signal is output to start the cash counting process, and in parallel with this, the transaction account number 35 inputted in step 2 or step 9 (described later). Is correct or not. That is, the transaction account number 35 input in step 2 or step 9 is compared with the transaction account number stored in the master file of the main terminal 1 and, based on the comparison, the corresponding transaction account number in the master file If it is determined that there is a
If it is determined that there is no corresponding transaction account number 35 in the master file, the process proceeds to step 8.

<< Step 8 >> An indication that the transaction account number 35 has not been registered in the master file is displayed on the display sections of the corresponding subterminals 8 to 13. << Step 9 >> The display sections of the sub-terminals 8 to 13 are again displayed on the screen as shown in FIG.
To the operator through the input section of No. 13 to the transaction account number 35
Is input again, and the process returns to step 7.

<< Step 10 >> As shown in FIG. 9, the account holder 34 corresponding to the transaction account number 35 stored in the master file of the main terminal 1 is displayed on the corresponding sub-terminals 8 to 13. In addition to the above, the display unit 53 also displays a slip amount display column 53, a counting amount display column 54, an excess / deficiency amount display column 55, a bill amount display column 56, and a coin amount display column 57. In addition, in these slip amount display column 53, counting amount display column 54, excess / deficiency amount display column 55, bill amount display column 56, and coin amount display column 57,
In particular, when there is no data input indicating the slip amount in the input unit, or when the counting amount value is not output from the cash depositing machines 20 to 25, “0” is displayed in the corresponding display column. In the bill amount display field 56, the bill deposit machine 2
The banknote counting amounts counted in 2 to 25 are displayed, and the coin amount display column 57 displays the coin counting amounts counted by the coin depositing machines 20 and 21, and the banknote amount display column 56 and the coin amount The sum of the counted amounts displayed in the display columns 57 is displayed in the counted amount display column 54. In addition, in the excess / shortage display column 55, the difference between the display amount displayed in the count amount display column 54 and the display amount displayed in the slip amount display column 53 is displayed as the excess / shortage amount.

<< Step 11 >> Subterminals 8 to 13
Through the input unit, the operator is prompted to confirm whether the account holder 34 displayed in step 10 is correct. If the account holder 34 is determined to be correct based on the confirmation of the operator, the process proceeds to step 12. If it is determined that the account holder is incorrect, the process proceeds to step 9. Further, the transaction account number 35 indicating the account holder 34 confirmed in this step 11 is stored in the dictated step 24.
In, until the continuation of the large bag payment processing of the lake is finished,
It is stored as it is. << Step 12 >> As shown in FIG. 11, a deposit amount entry column 47 entered in the deposit slip 40 (see FIG. 3) in the slip amount display column 53 as shown in FIG. Is input (pre-filled by the customer who is the business partner), and if this input operation is completed, the process proceeds to step 13
Proceed to. Note that the processing in step 12 is executed only in the banknote subterminals 10 to 13, and the processing in step 12 is omitted in the coin subterminals 8 and 9, and the process proceeds directly from step 11 to step 13. Therefore, at the time of coin processing, the screen display of the slip amount input is not performed, and the display amount in the slip amount display column 53 remains “0” as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

<Step 13> The counting process of the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 started in step 6 is completed, and the cash count value obtained by the counting process is displayed on the display section of the corresponding subterminal 8 to 13. It is determined whether or not it has been performed.
Then, the YE in which the transmission and display of the count value are performed is performed.
In the case of S, the process proceeds to the next step 14. Here, an example of display on the display unit of the sub-terminals 8 to 13 performed in step 13 will be described. In this step 13, as shown in FIG. Column 53, the cash count received in step 13 is displayed in a count amount display column 54,
The difference amount is set as the excess or deficiency amount, and the excess or deficiency amount display field 55
To be displayed. Then, the operator refers to the amounts displayed in the counted amount display field 54 to determine whether or not the values of these amounts can be approved.

<< Step 14 >> to << Step 17 >> In these Steps 14 to 17, the counting amount display column 5
It is determined whether or not there is a difference between the displayed amount displayed in No. 4 and the displayed amount displayed in the slip amount display column 53, that is, whether there is an excess or deficiency amount. The display as shown in FIG. 10 is made assuming that the error has occurred, and the display as shown in FIG. In other words, when the differential calculation occurs, as shown by reference numerals 61 to 64 in FIG. 10, “different calculation” indicating the differential calculation state, and whether to perform the correction process in accordance with the differential calculation state "1: Correction", cancel cash deposit processing "5: Collection",
"9: Completed" is displayed, asking whether to end the deposit processing for the time being in the different calculation state. If there is no difference calculation, only "9: COMPLETE" is displayed asking whether to end the payment processing as shown in FIG.

As a processing sequence when coins and bills are stored in one cash bag, coins are processed first in one of the subterminal systems 2 and 3, and thereafter, the subterminal systems 4 to 7 are processed. In this case, the banknote is processed in any one of the main terminal 1 and the coin count value obtained by the coin counting process.
Is temporarily stored together with the transaction account number 35 in the internal memory (stored in step 22 and enters a standby state in step 22). In the subsequent bill depositing process, the transaction account number 35 is compared with After reading out the corresponding coin count value temporarily stored in, further calculating the sum value of the coin count value and the bill count value, and the excess or deficiency value of the sum value and the bill amount, these calculation results are shown in FIG. It is displayed as shown. Also, as described above, as a processing order of the cash in the cash bag, coins are processed first,
Since the bills are processed later, the bill count value displayed in the bill amount display column 56 is “0” as shown in FIG. 10 during coin deposit processing, and therefore, the coin amount display column The amount displayed in 57 and the amount displayed in the counted amount display field 54 are the same. Also, in the coin deposit processing, since the slip amount is not entered in the slip amount display column 53 in step 12 (see step 12), the amount is "0" as shown in FIG. The display amount displayed in the excess / shortage amount display field 55 is the same as the count amount displayed in the count amount display field 54, that is, “plus 6754 yen”.

On the other hand, in the bill depositing process, as shown in FIG. 11, it is necessary to input the slip amount in the slip amount display column 53 in step 12, so that the display amount displayed in the excess / shortage amount display column 55 is displayed. The amount of money is actually subtracted from the count amount displayed in the count amount display column 54 by the slip amount input and displayed in the slip amount display column 53, thereby obtaining, for example, "0".
Yen ". Note that coins in one cash bag are counted only by one of the plurality of sub-terminals 8 and 9. Similarly, bills in one cash bag are counted by a plurality of sub-terminals. The counting process is performed only by any one of 10 to 13.

The processing of steps 14 to 17 will be specifically described with reference to the display screens of FIGS. (1) Processing when “1: Correction” indicated by reference numeral 62 in FIG. 10 is selected through the numeric keypad of the input unit of the subterminals 8 to 13 (executed only when a difference occurs).
If "1: correction" is selected, it is determined that an instruction to correct the displayed amount has been input (YE in step 14).
S), the process proceeds from step 13 to step 15 via step 14 (YES), and in this step 15, the counting amount display field 54 (the bill counting amount display field 56, the coin counting amount display field 57) through the input sections of the sub-terminals 8 to 13. The processing for correcting the displayed amount in the parentheses is performed. Step 14
If "1: correction" indicated by the reference numeral 62 is not selected (NO in step 14), the process proceeds from step 13 to NO in step 14, and proceeds to step 16. The case where “1: correction” indicated by reference numeral 62 is selected by the operator (YES in step 14), for example, coins and bills that are rejected because they cannot be deposited by cash depositing machines 20 to 25 ( That is, there is a case where there is a damaged bill, a deformed coin which cannot be discriminated, etc.), a case where there is a cash voucher such as a check which cannot be processed by the cash depositing machines 20 to 25, and the like.
After confirming the amount of the bill or the voucher, the amount is added to the counted amount in the counted amount display field 54 through the input units of the subterminals 8 to 13.

(2) Processing when “9: Complete” indicated by reference numeral 64 in FIGS. 10 and 11 is selected via the numeric keypad of the input section of the subterminals 8 to 13. "9:
When "complete" is selected, the process proceeds from step 13 to YES in step 16, and in step 21 and thereafter, processing for storing the cash temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit is performed.
If there is no difference calculation, as shown in FIG. 11, only the indication of whether or not “9: Complete” is selected is displayed. The process proceeds directly from step 13 to step 21 without going through another step.

(3) Processing when "5: Collect" indicated by reference numeral 63 in FIG. 10 is selected through the numeric keypad of the input section of the subterminals 8 to 13 (executed only when an occurrence of a difference calculation). If "5: collection" is selected, the process proceeds from step 13 to NO in step 16, and in the next step 17, waits for an instruction as to whether or not to cancel the deposit processing of the temporarily stored cash. That is, it is determined whether or not a “recount” key (not shown) is selected by the operator through the input units of the subterminals 8 to 13. If the “recount” key is selected, the process proceeds to step 18; If the "recount" key is not selected, the process returns to step S14. In steps 14 to 17, the operator selects "1: correction" and "5: collection".
If neither “9: Complete” nor “Recount” is selected, the process enters a standby state in a loop formed by Step 14 → Step 16 → Step 17.

<< Step 18 >> A process of outputting a return signal to the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 and returning the cash temporarily stored in the temporary storing sections of the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 to the returning section is performed. . << Step 19 >> The cash returned in Step 18 is
Cash deposit machine 20-25 (Cash deposit machine 20 that returned cash)
To 25) is determined to be reset,
In the case of ES, the process proceeds to the next step 20. Note that such resetting of cash is manually performed by an operator, and whether or not the resetting of cash has been completed is determined based on a detection signal of a cash detection sensor provided at a deposit port, as in step 6. to decide. << Step 20 >> Cash deposit machine 20 in which cash is reset
A counting start signal is output to the counters .about.25 to cause the set cash to be counted, and thereafter, the process returns to step S13.

<< Step 21 >> A storage signal is output to the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 to perform processing for storing the cash temporarily stored in the temporary storing sections of the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 in the storing section. . << Step 22 >> The amount displayed in the counted amount display field 54 (the corrected amount if corrected) is stored in the memory of the main terminal 1 as the adjustment processing data 65 (see the authentication print example in FIG. 12). At this time, the main terminal 1
The payment processing data 65 is stored in the memory of Step 2.
9 together with the transaction account number 35 input in step 9 and the branch number 46a input or numbered in step 3.5. << Step 23 >> As a proof that the house bank or the settlement center of the house bank has received the cash from the business partner, the settlement processing data 65 stored in the memory of the main terminal 1 in step 22 as shown in FIG. Print the certification on

<< Step 24 >> Whether or not to continue depositing a large number of cash bags for the same business partner,
It is determined whether or not to continue the large bag depositing process. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to the next step 25, and if the determination is NO, the flowchart ends. << Step 25 >> It is determined whether or not cash has been set in one of the deposit ports of the cash depositing machines 20 to 25, and if YES, the process proceeds to the next step 26. In addition, cash deposit machine 20-25
Is set by the operator manually, and whether or not cash is set in the cash depositing machines 20 to 25 is determined based on the detection signal of the cash detection sensor.

<< Step 26 >> The sub terminal 8 of the cash deposit machine 20-25 in which the cash is set is received from the operator.
13 through the input unit of a new branch number 46a (FIG.
It is determined whether or not (FIG. 11) has been input. If YES, the process proceeds to the next step 27, and if NO, the process proceeds to step. In the process of step 26, as in step 3, a screen display as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit of each of the sub-terminals 8 to 13, and an input operation of the operator is performed in the branch number input field 52 in the screen display. , Payment slip 4
A branch number 46a described in 0 is input. If the branch number 46a is not input in step 26, an instruction not to input the branch number 46a is output from the input unit.

<< Step 27 >> In order to check whether or not the branch number 46a input in step 26 has already been used and has not been duplicated by this input, the transaction account number input in step 2 or step 9 A check is performed based on the combination data of the branch number 46a and the branch number 46a, and it is automatically determined whether or not the input branch number 46a can be approved. In the case of, the process returns to the previous step 26. That is, in this step 27, when the branch number 46a is input to the branch number input box 52, the branch number 46a
Is compared with the entered branch number 46a of the transaction account number 35 in the settlement processing data 65 (see step 22) previously stored in the memory of the main terminal 1, and it is determined that there is no match.
