Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to a payment management system constructed in a retail store in which a payment machine for collecting sales collected from a cash register is installed.

  Many mass merchandisers such as supermarkets have payment machines installed in their stores to collect sales. In such a store, after the store closes, the store clerk carries out a payment operation for the cash register. Then, since the sales amount of the day is output from the cash register, the store clerk collects cash corresponding to the sales from the drawer or the change machine connected to the cash register. The clerk then brings the collected cash and pays it to the payment machine.

  When making a payment, the store clerk operates the input device of the payment machine, and inputs the sales amount data output from the cash register together with the operator ID and the device ID for identifying the cash register. In the payment machine, the amount of cash paid is counted, the payment amount data is compared with the input amount data, and it is checked whether there is any excess or deficiency in the payment. If there is no excess or deficiency, the payment amount data is stored and managed in association with the manually entered operator ID or device ID.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a payment management system will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a case where payment management is realized by using a POS system built in a mass sales store such as a supermarket.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a payment management system 1 according to an embodiment. The payment management system 1 includes a plurality of POS terminals 11 that are cash registering machines, a store computer 12, and a payment machine 13. Each POS terminal 11 and the store computer 12 are connected by an in-store LAN (Local Area Network) 14 to construct a known POS system. A payment machine 13 is connected to the in-store LAN 14, and data communication is possible between the payment machine 13 and the store computer 12.

  Each POS terminal 11 is set with a unique terminal ID. Each POS terminal 11 is connected to a change machine 15. The change machine 15 sorts out the banknotes inserted from the banknote slot and the coins inserted from the coin slot and stores them in a safe according to denomination. In addition, when the change machine 15 receives an instruction for paying an amount from the POS terminal 11, it automatically pays out a bill or a coin corresponding to the amount from the safe to the payout exit.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the POS terminal 11. The POS terminal 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 201 as a control unit body. The POS terminal 11 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 202 for storing fixed data such as a program, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 203 having various memory areas for storing variable data, a current date. In addition to a clock unit 204 that measures time, a LAN controller 205 that controls data communication performed via the LAN 14, a changer interface 206 that exchanges data signals with the changer 15, and controllers for various input / output devices A keyboard controller 207, a scanner controller 208, a first display controller 209, a second display controller 210, and a printer controller 211. The CPU 201, ROM 202, RAM 203, clock unit 204, LAN controller 205, change machine interface 206, and controllers 207 to 211 of various input / output devices are connected by a bus line 212 such as an address bus or a data bus.

  The keyboard controller 207 controls a keyboard 221 provided with various keys used for a settlement transaction for commercial transactions. A scanner controller 208 controls a scanner 222 for optically reading a barcode attached to a product or the like. The first display controller 209 controls the operator display 223 that displays an image to the operator. The second display controller 210 controls the customer display 224 that displays an image to the customer. The printer controller 211 controls a printer 225 for printing receipts and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the POS terminal 11 having such a configuration has a cash reserve amount A area 31 as a memory area for managing the cash balance of the change machine 15 connected via the change machine interface 206. An area 32 for cash sales amount B, an area 33 for cash amount theoretical value C, and an area 34 for collection amount D are formed in the RAM 203. The change preparation amount A is the total amount of cash prepared in the safe of the change machine 15 before the opening of the store on one business day. The cash sales amount B is the total amount of the payment amount of the commercial transaction settled by cash payment among the commercial transactions settled at the POS terminal 11 in one business day. The cash amount theoretical value C is an amount obtained by adding the cash sales amount B of a commercial transaction every time a commercial transaction settled by cash payment occurs with the change reserve amount A as an initial value. The collected amount D is the amount of cash collected from the safe of the change machine 15.

  Accordingly, the POS terminal 11 executes the checkout business after the closing of one business day. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the control procedure of the CPU 201 for the checkout operation. This procedure follows the checkout business program stored in the ROM 202.

  When the checkout work is started, first, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the checkout work can be executed (ST1). The checkout operation can be executed when an operator who is permitted the checkout operation declares sign-on. When declaring sign-on, the operator operates an input device (keyboard 221 and scanner 222) to input an operator ID that is his / her operator identification information. That is, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the operator ID being signed on belongs to an operator who is allowed to perform a checkout operation. The operator ID of the operator who is allowed to perform the checkout work is set in the RAM 203 in advance. When the operator ID during sign-on is not that of an operator who is allowed to perform the settlement operation, the settlement operation cannot be executed (NO in ST1). In this case, the CPU 201 ends the process.

  When the operator ID during sign-on is that of an operator who is allowed to perform a settlement operation (YES in ST1), the CPU 201 determines whether or not a change reserve change command has been received (ST2). The command is delivered from the store computer 12 to each POS terminal 11 through the LAN 14 before the settlement operation when the change reserve amount A in the change machine 15 needs to be changed.

  When the change reserve change command has not been received (NO in ST2), the CPU 201 overwrites the memory area 34 with the cash sales amount B in the memory area 32 as it is as the collection amount D (ST3). In contrast, when the change reserve change command is received (YES in ST2), the CPU 201 updates the change reserve amount A in the memory area 31 to the changed amount (ST4). Then, the updated change reserve amount A is subtracted from the cash amount theoretical value C in the memory area 33, and the difference is overwritten in the memory area 34 as the recovery amount D (ST5).

  Next, the CPU 201 transmits a collection command for the collection amount D to the change machine 15 via the change machine interface 206 (ST6). In addition, cash collection information including the terminal ID of the POS terminal 11, the signed-on operator ID, the collection amount D, and the current date / time information measured by the clock unit 204 is sent via the LAN controller 205. It transmits to the store computer 12 (ST7: collection information transmission means). In the cash collection information, the terminal ID and the operator ID are information on a cash register. The current date / time information is collection time information.

  Thereafter, the CPU 201 executes a settlement process (ST8). By this checkout process, the sales data of each product registered for sales on the first business day at the POS terminal 11 is tabulated, and the tabulated data is printed out on the receipt paper by the printer 225 as a settlement report. This completes the checkout operation.

  Incidentally, in the change machine 15 that has received the collection command, banknotes or coins corresponding to the collection amount D in the command are automatically paid out from the safe to the payout opening. Therefore, the clerk in charge of the checkout operation, that is, the clerk identified by the signed-on operator ID, brings the cash paid out from the change machine 15 and pays it to the payment machine 13.

  The store computer 12 manages each POS terminal 11 in a centralized manner, and manages the sales results of the entire store from the sales data of each product registered for sale at each POS terminal 11. Further, the store computer 12 has a function as a relay machine that relays between each POS terminal 11 and the payment machine 13.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the store computer 12. The store computer 12 is equipped with a CPU 301 as a control unit main body. The store computer 12 includes a ROM 302 for storing fixed data such as programs, a RAM 303 having various memory areas for storing variable data, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) device 304 as an auxiliary storage device, In addition to a clock unit 305 that measures the date and time of the device, a LAN controller 306 that controls data communication performed via the LAN 14, a communication interface 307, a keyboard controller 308, a display controller 309, a mouse interface 310, and a printer interface 311 are mounted. ing. The CPU 301, the ROM 302, the RAM 303, the HDD device 304, the clock unit 305, the LAN controller 306, the communication interface 307, the keyboard controller 308, the display controller 309, the mouse interface 310, and the printer interface 311 are connected to a bus such as an address bus and a data bus. They are connected by line 312.

  The keyboard controller 308 controls the keyboard 321. The display controller 309 controls the display 322. The mouse interface 310 electrically connects a mouse (not shown). The printer interface 311 electrically connects a printer (not shown).

  The store computer 12 having such a configuration forms a collection management table 40 shown in FIG. 6 in the RAM 303 as a collection information storage unit. The collection management table 40 stores the operator ID, the collection time, the collected amount, and the collected flag F1 as one record for each terminal ID of the signed-on POS terminal 11. The collected flag F1 has an initial value of “0”, and is set to “1” when sales proceeds are collected from the change machine 15 of the POS terminal 11 identified by the terminal ID of the same record.

  The store computer 12 has a collection management program installed in the ROM 302. In accordance with this program, the CPU 301 waits for cash collection information from each POS terminal 11 connected via the LAN controller 306. When the cash collection information is received, the CPU 301 executes a reception process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the CPU 301 determines whether or not the received information is cash collection information from the POS terminal 11 (ST11). When it is not cash collection information (NO in ST11), other processing is executed.

  When the cash collection information is received (YES in ST31), the CPU 301 analyzes the cash collection information, and acquires each information of terminal ID, operator ID, collection amount and collection time (ST32). Then, the collection management table 40 is searched with the acquired terminal ID, and it is determined whether or not the collected flag F1 of the record in which the terminal ID is set is reset to “0” indicating non-collected. If it has already been set to “1” (NO in ST13), it is an error because cash is collected again from the POS terminal 11 from which the sales have been collected.

  When the collected flag F1 is reset to “0” (YES in ST13), the CPU 301 stores the acquired operator ID, the collected amount, and the collected time in the record in which the terminal ID is set (ST14; collected). Information storage means). Further, the collected flag F1 of the record is set to “1” (ST15).

  Next, the CPU 301 checks the collected flag F1 of all records registered in the collection management table 40. Then, it is determined whether or not all the collected flags F1 are set to “1” (ST16). If at least one collected flag F1 has been reset to “0” (NO in ST16), the current reception process ends.

  When all of the collected flags F1 are set to “1” (YES in ST16), the CPU 301 transmits a collection completion command to the payment machine 13 via the LAN 14 (ST17). Data of the collection management table 40 is added to the collection completion command. Thereafter, the CPU 301 stores the data of the collection management table 40 in the HDD device 304 (ST18). After saving, the CPU 301 clears the collection management table 40 (ST19). This completes the cash collection information reception process.

  The payment machine 13 is a device for collecting sales collected from the change machine 15 of each POS terminal 11, and is installed in the backyard of the store. The cash collected by the payment machine 13 is paid to a financial institution by a security transportation company. The payment machine 13 is connected online with a security transport company server 16.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the money receiving machine 13. The payment machine 13 is equipped with a CPU 401 as a control unit main body. The payment machine 13 includes a ROM 402 for storing fixed data such as programs, a RAM 403 having various memory areas for storing variable data, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) device 404 as an auxiliary storage device, In addition to the clock unit 405 that measures the date and time of the network, the LAN controller 406 that controls the data communication performed via the LAN 14, the communication interface 407 that manages the data communication with the management company server 16 connected online, A keyboard controller 408, a scanner controller 409, a display controller 410, and a printer controller 411 are mounted as controllers for various input / output devices. The CPU 401, ROM 402, RAM 403, HDD device 404, clock unit 405, LAN controller 406, communication interface 407, and various input / output device controllers 408 to 411 are connected by a bus line 412 such as an address bus or a data bus. Yes.

  The keyboard controller 408 controls the keyboard 421. The scanner controller 409 controls the scanner 422. The display controller 410 controls the display 423. The printer controller 411 controls the printer 424.

  Further, the payment machine 13 includes a coin insertion slot 431, a coin sorting unit 432, a coin safe 433, an inserted coin counting unit 434, a bill insertion slot 435, a bill sorting unit 436, a bill safe 437, and an inserted bill counting unit 438.

  The coin sorting unit 432 sorts coins inserted into the coin slot 431, sorts them into denominations, and stores them in the coin safe 433. The inserted coin counting unit 434 counts the number of denominated coins inserted into the coin insertion slot 431 based on the information selected by the coin selecting unit 432. The denomination number data of coins counted by the inserted coin counting unit 434 is transmitted to the CPU 401 via the bus line 412.

  The banknote sorting unit 436 sorts banknotes inserted into the banknote slot 435, sorts them into denominations, and stores them in the banknote safe 437. The inserted banknote counting unit 438 counts the number of denominations of banknotes inserted into the banknote insertion slot 435 based on the information sorted by the banknote sorting unit 436. The denomination type data of the banknotes counted by the inserted banknote counting unit 438 is transmitted to the CPU 401 via the bus line 412.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the payment machine 13 having such a configuration forms a payment management table 50 and a memory area 51 of the total payment amount G in the RAM 303. The payment management table 50 functions as a payment information storage unit. That is, the payment management table 50 stores the payment time, the payment amount, the terminal ID, the payer ID, and the paid flag F2 as one record for each consecutive number starting from “1”. The paid flag F2 has an initial value of “0”, and is set to “1” when the sales amount collected from the change machine 15 of the POS terminal 11 identified by the terminal ID of the same record is paid.

  Thus, when a payment operation is selected by a key operation on the keyboard 421, the CPU 401 of the payment machine 13 processes the payment operation in the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. This procedure follows a control program stored in the ROM 402.

  When the payment operation is started, first, the CPU 401 displays a message “Please insert the collected cash” on the display 423, for example, and prompts payment (ST21). Here, when the coin type or banknote denomination data is input from the inserted coin counting unit 434 or the inserted banknote counting unit 438, the CPU 401 determines that there is payment (YES in ST21). Then, the first number counter n is incremented by “1” (ST22).

  Incidentally, the first number counter n is initialized to “0” when the cash stored in the coin safe 433 and the bill safe 437 is collected by the security transport company and the payment machine 13 is reset. At this time, the payment management table 50 and the memory area 51 of the total payment amount are also cleared.

  The CPU 401 counts the amount of money to be paid g from the number of coins or banknotes by type of money (ST23: money amount counting means). Then, the CPU 401 stores the payment amount g and the current date and time information (payment time) measured by the clock unit 405 in the nth record (n is the value of the first number counter n) of the payment management table 50. (ST24). Then, the paid flag F2 of the nth record is reset to “0” (ST25). Further, the counted payment amount g is added to the total payment amount G in the memory area 51 (ST26). This is the end of the payment process.

  Further, when receiving the collection completion command from the store computer 12 via the LAN 14, the CPU 401 of the payment machine 13 executes processing of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11. This process is in accordance with the control program.

  That is, the CPU 401 that has received the collection completion command temporarily stores the data of the collection management table 40 added to the collection completion command in the RAM 403 (ST31). Next, the CPU 401 obtains the collection amount of each record from the data of the collection management table 40 stored in the RAM 403, and adds up the total amount of collection M (ST32).

  Next, the CPU 401 resets the second number counter r to “0” (ST33). Subsequently, the CPU 401 counts up the second number counter r by “1” (ST34), and determines whether or not the second number counter r after counting up exceeds the first number counter n. (ST35).

  When the second number counter r does not exceed the first number counter n (NO in ST35), the CPU 401 stores an r-th payment record (r is the value of the second number counter r) from the payment management table 50. Obtain (ST36). And the payment completion flag F2 of this rth payment record is checked (ST37). If the paid-in flag F2 has already been set to “1” (YES in ST37), since the data of the paid-in record has been processed, the process returns to step ST34.

  When the paid flag F2 is not set to “1” (NO in ST37), the CPU 401 acquires the payment time and the payment amount from the payment record. Then, the data in the collection management table 40 is searched to determine whether or not there is a record in which the collection time is before the payment time and the collection amount matches the payment amount (ST38, ST39; specifying means). When the corresponding record does not exist in the data of the collection management table 40 (NO in ST39), the POS terminal 11 that collected the cash of the payment amount cannot be specified. In this case, the process returns to step ST34.

  On the other hand, when the corresponding collection record exists in the data of the collection management table 40 (YES in ST39), the POS terminal 11 that collected the cash of the payment amount is identified by the terminal ID of the corresponding collection record. Identified as a terminal. In this case, the CPU 401 acquires the operator ID and the terminal ID from the corresponding collection record, and stores them in the rth payment record (ST40: payment information storage means). Further, the paid flag F2 of the rth payment record is set to “1” (ST41). Further, the collection completion flag of the collection record is reset to “0” (ST42). Thereafter, the process returns to step ST34.

  In step ST34, the second number counter r is counted up. That is, every time the second number counter r is incremented by “1”, the CPU 401 repeats the processes of steps ST35 to ST42. If the second number counter r exceeds the first number counter n (YES in ST35), the CPU 401 proceeds to the process of step ST43.

  In step ST <b> 43, the CPU 401 determines whether or not the total collection amount M matches the total payment amount M in the memory area 51. If they match (YES in ST43), the CPU 401 transmits a collection completion mail to the server 16 of the guard shipping company connected via the communication interface 407 (ST46). This completes the collection completion command reception process.

  On the other hand, if the total collected amount M and the total paid amount M do not match (NO in ST43), the cash collected from the change machine 15 of each POS terminal 11 is not correctly paid to the payment machine 13. In this case, the CPU 401 notifies a payment error (payment error means).

  Specifically, the CPU 401 retrieves data in the collection management table 40, and acquires an operator ID, a terminal ID, a collection time, and a collection amount from the collection record in which the collection flag F1 is set to “1”. . Then, the acquired information is displayed on the display 423 as unpaid information (ST44). Further, the CPU 401 retrieves data in the payment management table 50, and acquires the payment time and the payment amount from the payment record in which the paid flag F2 is reset to “0”. Then, the acquired information is displayed on the display 423 as misdelivery information (ST45). Thereafter, the process returns to step ST33.

  Therefore, if the settlement operation is executed in all the POS terminals 11 that are signed on, and all the cash collected from the respective change machines 15 is correctly paid to the payment machine 13, the total collection amount M and the total payment amount M Therefore, the collection completion mail is automatically transmitted to the server 16 of the security transport company.

  On the other hand, when the collected cash is not paid, the total payment amount M is smaller than the total collection amount M. In the collection management table 40, the collected flag F1 of the record corresponding to the terminal ID of the POS terminal 11 that has been paid but has not been paid remains set to “1”. Therefore, the operator ID, terminal ID, collection time, and collection amount of the collection record are displayed on the display 423 as unpaid information.

  Further, when the amount of cash paid is different from the amount of cash collected, the total amount M collected and the total amount M paid do not match. In the collection management table 40, the collection flag F1 of the collection record corresponding to the terminal ID of the POS terminal 11 that collected the cash remains set to “1”. Further, in the payment management table 50, the payment completion flag F2 of the payment record of the payment amount that does not match the collection amount remains reset to “0”. Therefore, the operator ID, the terminal ID, the collection time, and the collection amount of the collection record are displayed on the display 423 as unpaid information, and the payment time and the payment amount of the collection record are displayed on the display 423 as incorrect payment information. Is done.

  FIG. 12 is a display example of unpaid information and incorrect payment information. Based on the non-payment information in this display example, the sales collected by the store clerk identified by the operator ID = 1000 from the change machine 15 connected to the POS terminal 11 having the terminal ID = 03 is settled for all the operating POS terminals 11. It can be seen that, at the present time when the work is completed, it is managed that the payment machine 13 is not paid. Further, it is understood from the mispayment information that the amount 123,456 yen paid at time 20:15 is managed as not coinciding with the collected amount. As a result, the store clerk identified by the operator ID = 1000 who collected 124,456 yen from the change machine 15 connected to the POS terminal 11 with the terminal ID = 03, You can easily guess that you paid with the yen shortage.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to check omission of payment or incorrect payment without inputting the operator ID or the terminal ID when the cash collected from the POS terminal 11 is paid to the payment machine 13. Therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to reduce time and labor when the sales collected from the POS terminal 11 is paid to the payment machine 13.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, in the embodiment, the POS terminal 11 to which the change machine 15 is connected is illustrated, but the embodiment is applied even to a payment management system including the POS terminal 11 to which a drawer is connected instead of the change machine 15. be able to.

  In the above embodiment, the payment machine 13 is connected to the LAN 14. However, if the collection completion command can be transmitted from the store computer 12 to the payment machine 13 together with the data of the collection management table 40, the store computer is connected via a communication line other than the LAN 14. 12 is not necessarily required to be connected to the LAN 14.

  Further, when the payment machine 13 is connected to the LAN 14, the collection information may be directly transmitted from the POS terminal 11 to the payment machine 13. In this case, the payment machine 13 includes the collection management table 40.

  In addition, the terminal ID is forcibly entered when cash is paid to the payment machine 13. And in collation with the collection record of the collection management table 40 and the payment record of the payment management table 50, it programs so that operator ID of the collection record in which terminal ID corresponds may be added to a payment record. Even if it is such a structure, the effort which inputs operator ID at the time of payment can be reduced. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if the input of the operator ID instead of the terminal ID is forced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the control program for realizing the functions of the invention is recorded in advance in the ROM 402 which is the program storage unit of the payment machine 13. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a similar program may be downloaded from the network to the payment machine 13. Or the same program recorded on the recording medium may be installed in the money-receiving machine 13. The recording medium may be in any form as long as it can store a program such as a CD-ROM or a memory card and can be read by the apparatus. Further, the function obtained by installing or downloading the program may be realized in cooperation with an OS (operating system) in the apparatus.

  In addition, although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
