Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cash registration device that is a terminal for managing cash in monetary transactions.

Recently, the introduction of new cash management devices has been considered with the intention of improving the efficiency of banking transactions. Some banking transactions are already being carried out efficiently by using cash dispensers and the like to process cash payments and deposits online and directly connect customers with centers. In contrast, the present invention particularly relates to a cash register device, a so-called OTM, which is a terminal for managing cash in transactions that is introduced in the first line of a bank business between a customer and a teller (cash teller).
(Online teller's Machine) (hereinafter abbreviated as OTM). This OTM can manage money when transferring money between customers and tellers, manage slips for each transaction, calculate deposits and withdrawals on a daily basis, manage cash reconciliation, update data to the center's files, and manage each type of cash or check. This allows one teller to do everything, such as registering the number of sheets, etc. As a result, customer service at stores can be dramatically improved, and in-store operations can be streamlined.

However, in addition to the above-mentioned tasks, various other tasks such as managing cash, checks, etc. that have been transacted become a burden for each teller, increasing the risk that transaction errors will occur frequently. The mental burden placed on the teller due to the error is also extremely large. The true power of OTM can only be demonstrated by reducing the possibility of such errors occurring and reducing the mental burden placed on the teller. That is,
It is absolutely necessary for OTM to have a proof-check function. The proof check function referred to here does not mean something that the hardware itself should inherently have, such as a so-called parity check, but it means an inspection function that should be performed during the dialogue between the teller and the OTM.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cash register (OTM) equipped with the above-mentioned proof-check function.

In accordance with the above object, the present invention provides an OTM mainly composed of a data input section, a data processing section, and a data display section, in which cumulative calculation results of numerical data regarding the breakdown are sequentially input into the data processing section, and the results are sequentially input into the data processing section. A breakdown display area and a subtotal display area, which are provided with a counter calculation means for outputting cumulative calculation results of numerical data indicating a subtotal of the amount for the breakdown, and simultaneously display each of these cumulative calculation results in a part of the data display section. It is characterized by having the following.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is an external view of OTM.

In the figure, the OTM 10 is mainly divided into a data input section 11, a data processing section 12 inside the housing, and a data display section 13. Data input section 11
includes a data key 11-1, a function key 11-2, etc. All cash, check, etc. transactions with customers are performed via these key presses. In the figure, 14 is a hand scanner for a magnetic passbook, and 15 is a journal for recording the details of each transaction. In the present invention, among the above-mentioned components, the data display section 13 is modified to perform a proof check function.

Conventionally, the data display section has been one-dimensional, and has been limited to displaying, for example, the number of entries each time. For this reason, if an error occurs in cash management, it is impossible to know the progress leading up to the error from the one-dimensional data display, and the journal 1
I had to take out 5 and re-examine it. Therefore, the present invention first uses the data display section 13 in a multidimensional manner, provides at least two specific areas therein, and performs individual cumulative calculations on numerical data regarding the breakdown and amount of data to be updated. The results shall be displayed sequentially as the latest updated data. To be more specific, the cumulative total of the breakdown entered each time is displayed as the total breakdown, and the cumulative total of the amount obtained each time from the total breakdown is displayed as the subtotal by assigning each specific area in the data display section. It is. In addition, various items necessary for cash management, such as deposit or withdrawal amount, error amount, etc., are allocated and displayed in corresponding areas in the data display section, which is divided into small sections in advance, as necessary. Note that the data display section can be configured with either a plasma display panel or a CRT, but in the case of the present invention, a plasma display panel that itself has a memory function is preferable in terms of data processing and is also advantageous in terms of space. be.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of a data display section according to the present invention. In this figure, data display section 1
3 are provided with specific areas, ' and ', in which the cumulative calculation results regarding the breakdown are displayed in the former two, and the cumulative calculation results of the amount corresponding to the breakdown are displayed in the latter. This is, so to speak, a breakdown display area and a subtotal display area. Practically,
The data display section 13 is displayed with vertical numbers 1, 2, 3...
The ordinate defined by and the horizontal numbers 1, 2, 3
It is divided into sections according to the abscissa specified by ..., and a large number of areas are provided therein corresponding to various items necessary for cash management. The area is the account number display area, the area is the display area for items such as savings deposits and cash, and the area is the mode display area. is the breakdown display area for the number of denominations (A, B, C, D, E are classifications of 10,000 yen bills, 5000 yen bills, 1000 yen bills, etc.), ′ is the breakdown display area for the number of ticket types (T, F , G, H, I are classifications such as checks, tickets from our store, tickets from other stores, etc.). is the other amount display area, and is the previous balance display area. is a subtotal area introduced by the present invention, is an amount display area, is a summary display area showing information other than monetary information, and is a replacement/message display area. These areas can be freely defined according to the user's wishes. In this way, it is extremely useful when an error occurs that the breakdown (area, ') and the amount (area) as well as other necessary items can be monitored at a glance from the teller. In particular, for items such as the above-mentioned breakdown whose numerical values fluctuate from time to time, errors can be analyzed at a glance by updating them one after another. This proves to be very useful when the mode display section specifies a combined mode rather than a single mode. Combined mode means processing multiple different account numbers of the same customer at once. It also means performing similar processing for multiple customers at once. Whether or not an error has occurred in each process can be determined because when the completion key (16 in FIG. 1) is finally pressed, the error amount is displayed in the area as XX yen. This error amount includes the amount that the customer wrote on the deposit slip (displayed in the above area) and the details of the various amounts of money that the teller actually received from the customer (for example, one check worth 10,000 yen for a deposit of 30,000 yen; 1 million yen bill, 5
1 thousand yen bill, 4 thousand yen bills, 10 100 yen coins, etc. (displayed in the area and ') above) and the difference (zero if the processing is correct). Looking at this error amount, the teller knows that there is an error in the subtotal (area), and knows the details from the breakdown (area and ′). If we continue to look into the details of the money we have, we will be able to quickly and surely find out the details of the teller's processing errors. If there are no errors, data exchange with the center is performed directly with OTM. In this sense, only correct data is transferred to the data line with the center, which also has the effect of making effective use of the line. These proof check functions are performed within the data processing section 12 of FIG. The functional parts to be performed within the data processing section 12 are configured as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In this figure, 11-1 and 11-2 are the data key and function key shown in FIG. 1, respectively, and the data key indicates each key from 0 to 9 or a digit. It includes keys such as 0, 00, 000, etc., and is used to input numerical values. In addition, various numerical data such as account number and date can also be entered. The function key 11-2 is an input for modifying the numerical value input from the data key 11-1, for example, 10,000,
It includes keys indicating 5,000, 1,000, etc., deposit, withdrawal, our store ticket, other store ticket, etc. Since the input from the data key 11-1 precedes the input from the function key 11-2, it is temporarily stored in the data key input buffer 31, and then both the data key input and the function key input are sent to the main task section. 32. Main task section 32
The mode control section 32-1 operates in a specified mode, the mode check section 32-2 checks the validity of the mode, the data check section 32-3 checks the validity of data, and the key control section 32-4. After passing through the key control section 32-4, it is connected to various parts. The first counter calculation unit 33, the second item buffer control unit 35, and the third monitor
The control section 37 and the fourth section are a transmission control section 38. The counter calculation unit 33 is a counter
It exchanges data with the memory 34. The control unit 35 is further connected to an item buffer memory 36. The monitor control section 37 is further connected to the journal 15 via a journal control section 41, and to the data display section 13 via a data control section 42. The transmission control section 38 is used for communication with a center (not shown). Further, the counter calculation section 33
includes a counter control section 33-1 for controlling the drive of the counter memory 34 and a count calculation program control section 33-2.

First, among the data passed through the main task unit 32, various items such as account number, account, mode, previous balance, denomination breakdown, bill type breakdown, deposit amount, withdrawal amount, etc. are stored in the item buffer memory 36. . After being stored, the data is transferred to the data display section 13 through the control section 35, main task section 32, and control sections 37 and 42, where each item in the corresponding area is displayed. Among these items, items whose numerical data such as breakdown and amount are updated sequentially require count calculation for cumulative calculation.
Stored in memory 34. Counter calculation unit 33
is updated by adding or subtracting the corresponding data each time a breakdown, amount, or other data that requires a count calculation is input. In this way, the latest data is always stored in the counter memory 34. This data is also displayed on the data display section 13 through the main task section 32 and control sections 37 and 42. On the other hand, the information is also printed on the journal 15 through the control section 41.

When the completion key (16 in Fig. 1) is pressed when a series of processing is completed, the key control section 3
The completion key processing unit 43 in 2-4 causes the count calculation program control unit 33-2 to calculate the difference between the deposited (or withdrawn) amount data stored in the counter memory 34 and the breakdown data. This difference is sent to the data display section 13 and journal 15 via the main task section 32, monitor/control section 37, and the like. If this difference is zero, the processing section 43 transmits the contents of the counter memory 34 to the center via the transmission control section 38. If this difference is not zero, it is displayed as an error amount in the area shown in Figure 2 to alert the teller.
The teller can then look at the area, ′, and compare it with the details of the money on hand to find the error.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the possibility of errors caused by tellers.
OTM is realized.
