On the other hand, it is burdensome for employees to load change funds, collect all money, and settle money every day. In order to reduce the burden on such employees, there is known a technique of collecting money after leaving for use as a change reserve for the next day after the end of business.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, the amount of money of the denomination of the money handling apparatus is managed, and the amount of money of the denomination to be managed and the number of money of the type of money left in the money handling device as change fund of the next business day. There is disclosed a technique of calculating the number of money types to be collected and collecting money from the money handling apparatus based on the calculation result.

  As described above, the operation for leaving money in the money handling apparatus (hereinafter referred to as "remaining") across the day reduces the load relating to the preparation of the change fund. Also, for daily settlement work, calculate the number of denominations to be collected based on the number of denominations to be left behind, etc., collect them based on the calculation result, and whether the collected money matches the calculation result The load is greatly reduced because the

  In addition, even in the case of operating such a remnant, for example, all the collection of all the money stored in the money handling apparatus is performed in a regular cycle such as once every two weeks, etc. to carry out the settlement operation. Is common. Although the money handling device manages the stock of stored money, it is actually stored in the money handling device and the managed money due to an error in the treatment when an error occurs or an operator's fraud or the like. This is because the number of coined money may be inconsistent.

Do. In addition, when the next schedule corresponding to the process of the accepted result has exceeded the reference number of days of the scheduled correction parameter 834h corresponding to the process of the accepted result (step S104; No), the process proceeds to step S111.

  In addition, when “9” is set indicating that the next schedule is to be changed to the final performance date based on the results unconditionally to the next scheduled correction condition of the scheduled correction parameter 834h corresponding to the processing of the received results (step The process also proceeds to step S105 in step S103; No, step S106; If “0” indicating that the next scheduled correction is not performed is set as the next scheduled correction condition of the scheduled correction parameter 834h corresponding to the process of the received actual result (step S106; No), the process proceeds to step S111. Transition.

  If “necessary” is set for the scheduled correction necessity / non-necessity of the scheduled correction parameter 834h corresponding to the processing of the received actual result (step S107; Yes), the scheduled correction unit 830f applies to the processing of the received actual result. Correction is performed so that the cycle from the next schedule corrected at step S105 corresponding to the next and subsequent schedules becomes the cycle set in the register master data 834e, and the schedule data 834f is updated (step S108). If “necessary” is not set for the necessity of scheduled correction next to and after the scheduled correction parameter 834h corresponding to the process of the received actual result (step S107; No), the process proceeds to step S111.

  As a result of the scheduled correction in step S108, if the processing for which actual results have been received exceeds the setting value of the same day maximum number of scheduled correction parameters 834h on the next and subsequent scheduled days after correction (step S109; Yes) The schedule correction unit 830f changes the schedule before and after to a schedule that does not conflict with the setting value of the maximum number performed on the same day of the schedule correction parameter 834h (step S110). Further, as a result of the scheduled correction in step S108, if the processing for which actual results have been received does not exceed the setting value of the same day maximum number of scheduled correction parameters on the next and subsequent scheduled days after correction (step S109; No) The process skips the process of step S110 and proceeds to step S111.

  If there is still a record of the series of evaluations related to the scheduled correction not being performed among the records of the received processing (step S111; Yes), the process returns to step S101. Further, when there is no record of the series of processes related to the scheduled correction not being performed among the record of the received process (step S111; No), the process is ended.

  If the received result of the process is the result of the change fund replenishment process (Step S101; No), the scheduled correction unit 830f performs the scheduled correction process associated with the received change fund replenishment process. Is performed (step S112), and the process proceeds to step S111. The detailed processing procedure of step S112 will be described later.

  Next, a detailed processing procedure of the correction process (step S112) to be performed to change the change reserve shown in FIG. 13 will be described. FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing a detailed processing procedure of the correction processing (step S112) to be performed to change the change reserve shown in FIG.

  If the received result of the process is the result regarding the replenishment process of the change fund (step S201; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f is the track record of evaluation whether the change fund replenishment schedule correction parameter of the schedule correction parameter 834h can be extended or not The result of the latest replenishment amount for the number of times set in the number is calculated (step S202). If the received result of the process is not the result regarding the change replenishment process (step S201; No), the process ends.

  If the result of the replenishment amount calculated in step S202 does not satisfy the predetermined threshold (step S203; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f changes the cycle of change fund replenishment in the register master data 834e to be longer. (Step S204). If the result of the replenishment amount calculated in step S202 is equal to or more than the predetermined threshold (step S203; No), step S204 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S205.

  The schedule correction unit 830f refers to the actual data 834g to calculate the number of consecutive non-scheduled replenishment processes being performed in the latest change fund replenishment process (step S205). When the continuous number of unscheduled replenishment processing calculated in step S205 is equal to or more than the threshold value set in the number of actual results for short-term feasibility evaluation of the change reserve replenishment schedule correction parameter of the scheduled correction parameter 834h (step S206; In the case of Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f changes the cycle of replenishment of change funds in the registration master data 834e to be short (step S207). When the continuous number of times of unscheduled replenishment processing calculated in step S205 is less than the threshold value set in the number of times of shorting possibility evaluation object actual number of change reserve replenishment scheduled correction parameters of the scheduled correction parameter 834h (step S206; In the case of No), the process skips step S207 and proceeds to step S208.

  If the received result of the change fund replenishment process is not as scheduled (Step S208; No), or if the received change fund replenishment process is performed as scheduled (Step S208; Yes) If the change supply replenishment cycle is changed at step S204 or step S207 (step S211; Yes), the schedule correction unit 830f ends the next change supply replenishment schedule. The schedule data 834f is updated with the content of correction by correcting based on the actual results and the cycle of replenishment of change funds in the register master data 834e (step S209). Further, the schedule correction unit 830f corrects the schedule of the replenishment processing of change funds after the next time on the basis of the next schedule corrected in step S209 and the cycle of replenishment of money change of the register master data 834e. The schedule data 834f is updated with the content (step S210), and the process ends.

  In addition, when the result of the replenishment process of the change fund received is as scheduled (step S208; Yes) and the cycle of the replenishment process of the change fund is not changed in step S204 or step S207 (step S211) No), the process ends without performing the scheduled correction.

  As described above, the planned date for performing maintenance processing such as total recovery performed by the cashier unit, automatic inspection and replenishment of change funds is transmitted to the POS register 300, and the POS register 300 or coin changer 100 performs the maintenance processing. When the scheduled date is approaching, notification is given that maintenance processing scheduled on the scheduled date will be performed, and the result of maintenance processing for which the scheduled date is set is accepted, and the subsequent maintenance processing is performed based on the accepted results.
