The coin deposit / withdrawal device 101 and the banknote deposit / withdrawal device 102 are different in the amount of money to be handled, but the configuration for processing the money is the same.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the coin depositing / dispensing device 101 and the bill depositing / dispensing device 102 each use money (in the case of the coin depositing / dispensing device 101, coins, in the case of the bill depositing / dispensing device 102) in denomination. A money storage unit 111 to be stored, a storage number storage unit 112 for storing the number of money types stored in the money storage unit 111, and an insertion port for inputting money to be replenished as a payment for a customer or a change reserve 113, sorting means 114 that sorts out money (deposited) from the slot 113 into a denomination and stores it in the money storage unit 111, and inputs that count the number of money selected by the sorting means 114 into the denomination Sheet number counting means 115.

  The coin deposit / withdrawal apparatus 101 and the banknote deposit / withdrawal apparatus 102 each have an interface (I / F in the drawing) 116 for receiving change data transmitted from the POS terminal 10 and the change received via the interface 116. The payout / payout number calculating means 117 for calculating the payout number of money type based on the data and the stored number data of money type stored in the stored number storage unit 112, and the money stored in the money storage unit 111 as 1 Dispensing means 118 for paying out the sheets one by one, a payout opening 119 for receiving money paid out from the money storage unit 111 by the paying means 118, and a payout number counting means 120 for counting the number of money paid out by the paying means 118 for each denomination. The payout number calculation means 117 calculates the payout number of the money type counted by the payout number counting means 120. The money dispensing control means 121 that operates the dispensing means 118 until the number of coins to be paid out is paid out, the number of money types counted by the number counting means 115 and the number of money types counted by the number counting means 120 A storage number updating unit 122 that updates the value of the storage number storage unit 112 based on the payout number;

  Further, when the coin deposit / withdrawal device 101 and the banknote deposit / withdrawal device 102 receive the balance request command via the interface 116, the coin type storage number data stored in the storage number storage unit 112 is read to read the current cash amount. A balance calculating means 123 is provided for calculating a balance, which is a total amount, and sending balance information including the balance to the POS terminal 10 via the interface 116. This balance information includes the number of money for each denomination and the total amount (balance) for each denomination.

  Next, a cash withdrawal process executed by the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 among various processes executed by the accounting system 1 will be described.

  In the cash withdrawal process, the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 follows the program, and as shown in FIG. 4, the account identification information receiving unit 81, the authentication information receiving unit 82, the withdrawal information transmitting unit 83, and the withdrawal control unit 84. And the drawer prohibition part 85 is implement | achieved as a function part.

  The account identification information receiving unit 81 functions as an account identification information receiving unit, and receives an account number that is account identification information for specifying a deposit account. Specifically, the account identification information receiving unit 81 receives an input of an account number stored in the cash card from the card reader 75 and stores the received account number in the RAM 41.

  The authentication information receiving unit 82 functions as an authentication information receiving unit, and receives an input of a personal identification number as authentication information preset for a deposit account. Specifically, the authentication information receiving unit 82 receives an input of a password from the pin pad 76 and stores the received password in the RAM 41.

  The withdrawal information transmission unit 83 functions as a withdrawal information transmission unit and is designated by the code scanner 36 which is a withdrawal amount designation unit from the deposit account specified by the account number received by the account identification information reception unit 81. The withdrawal request information for requesting withdrawal of the cash of the withdrawal amount and the password accepted by the authentication information acceptance unit 82 are transmitted to the management apparatus 300 using the communication interface 74. It should be noted that the withdrawal request information and the personal identification number may be transmitted simultaneously in a single transmission operation, or may be transmitted separately in separate transmission operations. An example of simultaneous transmission in operation will be described.

  When the permission information transmitted from the management apparatus 300 is received by the communication interface 74, the withdrawal control unit 84 controls the banknote deposit / withdrawal apparatus 102 to set the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36 from the banknote deposit / withdrawal apparatus 102. The banknote can be taken out. The permission information is information indicating that the request based on the withdrawal request information is permitted. Here, in the present embodiment, the money dispensed by the automatic change machine 100 as a cash drawer is limited to only banknotes, and no coins are dispensed.

  The withdrawal prohibition unit 85 has a withdrawal amount designated by the code scanner 36 based on the amount of cash in the banknote depositing / withdrawing device 102 calculated by the stock amount calculating means 123 that calculates the amount of cash in the banknote depositing / withdrawing device 102. If the expected balance obtained by subtracting is less than the prescribed amount, the withdrawal information is transmitted even if the amount of cash in the bill depositing / withdrawing apparatus 102 exceeds the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36. The above transmission by the unit 83 is prohibited.

  The cash withdrawal process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 determines that the cash withdrawal key 32a has been pressed and the cash withdrawal key 32a has made a cash withdrawal declaration (Yes in step S1), the display on the operator display 34 and the customer display 35 is displayed. Is changed from the initial screen on which the predetermined information is displayed to a screen on which information for prompting the amount designation such as “Please specify the withdrawal amount by the code scanner” is displayed. Then, the CPU 38 accepts designation of the withdrawal amount by the code scanner 36 (step S2). The code scanner 36 designates the withdrawal amount by scanning any one of the plurality of withdrawal amount tags 200 by an operation of the operator.

  Next, the CPU 38 determines whether or not it is possible to pay out the banknote having the withdrawal amount designated by the code scanner 36 from the automatic change machine 100 (step S3). Specifically, the CPU 38 acquires the cash amount in the banknote depositing / withdrawing device 102 by inquiring the banknote depositing / withdrawing device 102, and the code scanner 36 calculates the cash amount in the acquired banknote depositing / withdrawing device 102. Calculate the expected balance by subtracting the specified withdrawal amount. Then, the CPU 38 determines that the payout is possible when the expected balance exceeds the specified amount (Yes in step S3), and that the payout is impossible when the expected balance is equal to or less than the specified amount. Determine (No in step S3).

  If it is determined in step S3 that the payout is possible (Yes in step S3), the CPU 38 accepts input of an account number by the card reader 75 (step S4: account identification information accepting unit 81), and uses the pin pad 76. An input of a personal identification number is received (step S5: authentication information reception unit 82).

  Next, the CPU 38 uses the communication interface 74 for the withdrawal request information for requesting withdrawal of the amount of cash specified in step S4 from the deposit account specified by the account number accepted in step S2 and the password received in step S5. Is transmitted to the management apparatus 300 (step S6: withdrawal information transmission unit 83). Here, the withdrawal request information includes an account number and a withdrawal amount. Then, the CPU 38 waits until it receives permission information or non-permission information from the management apparatus 300 (No in step S7, No in step S8).

  On the other hand, the management apparatus 300 that has received the withdrawal request information and the personal identification number from the POS terminal 10 authenticates the cash card using the personal identification number and the account number in the withdrawal request information. Then, the management apparatus 300 extracts a password corresponding to the account number in the withdrawal request information received from the POS terminal 10 from the storage unit, and caches the extracted password and the password received from the POS terminal 10 by matching. When the card is authenticated, it is determined whether or not the withdrawal amount in the withdrawal request information is within the balance range of the deposit account of the account number in the withdrawal request information. If the withdrawal amount is within the balance range, the management device 300 transmits permission information to the POS terminal 10 to permit withdrawal. On the other hand, when the management apparatus 300 does not authenticate the cash card due to the mismatch of the PIN numbers, or the withdrawal amount in the withdrawal request information is outside the balance range of the deposit account of the account number in the withdrawal request information, that is, the balance is insufficient Is sent to the POS terminal 10 information indicating that the withdrawal from the deposit account is not permitted.

  When the CPU 38 of the POS terminal 10 receives the permission information from the management apparatus 300 (Yes in Step S7), the CPU 38 displays the withdrawal amount on the operator display 34 and the customer display 35 (Step S9). If the deposit / cash key is pressed and a withdrawal execution is declared by the deposit / cash key (Yes in step S10), the CPU 38 executes a withdrawal process (step S11). In this withdrawal process, the CPU 38 sends withdrawal execution information indicating that the withdrawal is to be performed to the management apparatus 300, and indicates that the predetermined process has been completed from the management apparatus 300 that has performed the predetermined process according to the withdrawal execution information. This is processing for receiving processing completion information. Here, the predetermined process performed by the management apparatus 300 is that the withdrawal amount in the withdrawal request information is withdrawn from the deposit account of the account number in the withdrawal request information, and the deposit account designated in advance by the store where the POS terminal 10 is installed. It is a process to transfer to.

  Next, the CPU 38 controls the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 102 to cause the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 102 to withdraw the banknote having the amount received in step S2 (step S12: withdrawal control unit 84), and then to the thermal printer 37. A transaction statement in which the details are printed is issued (step S13). The banknotes and the transaction statement that have been paid out in this way are delivered to the customer by the store clerk.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 38 determines in step S10 that the withdrawal execution using the deposit / cash key is not declared (No in step S10), the process ends without proceeding to step S11. The case where the withdrawal execution using the deposit / cash key is not declared is, for example, the case where the cancel key is pressed.

  In addition, when the CPU 38 receives the disabling information from the management device 300 (Yes in step S8), as an error process, the CPU 38 indicates that the deposit account is insufficient on the operator display 34 and the customer display 35. Display is made for a predetermined time, and then an initial screen is displayed (step S15), and the process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S3 that the payout is not possible (No in step S3), the CPU 38 cancels the withdrawal such as “The withdrawal process will be canceled because a change shortage is expected” as an error process. The information is displayed on the operator display 34 and the customer display 35 (step S14), and the process ends. With this process, the CPU 38 prohibits the withdrawal information transmission unit 83 from transmitting in step S7 (withdrawal prohibition unit 85) even if the amount of cash in the automatic change machine 100 exceeds the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36. ) Is realized. Note that if the CPU 38 determines in step S1 that another key is pressed instead of the cash withdrawal key 32a (No in step S1), the CPU 38 executes another process corresponding to the other key.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the deposit in the deposit account of the financial institution can be withdrawn from the banknote deposit / withdrawal device 102 which is a money storage device by the POS terminal 10. In the POS terminal 10, the code scanner 36, which is the withdrawal amount designation means, designates the withdrawal amount with a prescribed amount (specifically, 30,000 yen) or less, so that the withdrawal amount can be set unlimitedly. It is possible to suppress the shortage of change to the shopper due to the withdrawal of the deposit in the deposit account of the financial institution from the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 102.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the POS terminal 10, the withdrawal prohibiting unit 85, which is a withdrawal prohibiting unit, is calculated by the cash amount calculating unit 123 that calculates the amount of cash in the banknote depositing / dispensing device 102, which is a money storage device. If the expected balance obtained by subtracting the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36, which is the withdrawal amount designation means, from the amount of cash in the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 102 is less than the prescribed amount, the bill Even if the amount of cash in the deposit / withdrawal device 102 exceeds the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36, transmission by the withdrawal information transmission unit 83, which is a withdrawal information transmission means, is prohibited. Therefore, it can suppress more that the change to the shopper in the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 102 is insufficient.

  In the present embodiment, the code scanner 36 serving as a withdrawal amount designation means designates one amount as a withdrawal amount from a plurality of preset amounts. Therefore, the withdrawal amount by the code scanner 36 can be easily specified.

  Note that it is desirable to prohibit entry of an account number using the account number keyboard 32. In cash withdrawal processing, it is desirable to prohibit cancellations, returns, and cash-out operations. Moreover, it is desirable not to perform the deposit operation in the cash withdrawal process. It is also desirable to be able to practice cash withdrawal processing in the training mode.

  Next, a modification of the present embodiment will be described. In the present modification, the withdrawal amount (specifically, a multiple of the denomination of the denomination (10,000 yen) of the maximum denomination among the denominations of banknotes, which are money stored in the banknote depositing / dispensing device 102, which is a currency storage device) For example, only 10,000 yen, 20,000 yen, and 30,000 yen) can be withdrawn.

  Thereby, the following points differ in the cash withdrawal process of FIG. First, in step S <b> 3, the CPU 38 determines whether or not a withdrawal amount of 10,000 yen bill designated by the code scanner 36 can be paid out from the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 102. More specifically, the CPU 38 acquires the 10,000 yen bill in the banknote depositing / dispensing device 102 by inquiring the banknote depositing / dispensing device 102, and acquires the presence of the 10,000 yen bill in the acquired banknote depositing / dispensing device 102. It is determined whether or not the height is greater than the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36. Then, the CPU 38 determines that the payout is possible when the amount of money in the 10,000 yen bill in the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus 102 exceeds the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36 (Yes in step S3). When the amount of the 10,000 yen bill in the deposit / withdrawal device 102 is less than the withdrawal amount specified by the code scanner 36, it is determined that the withdrawal is impossible (No in step S3).

  In step S12, the CPU 38 controls the banknote depositing / dispensing device 102 so that the banknote of the amount designated by the code scanner 36 from the banknote depositing / dispensing device 102 is a 10,000 yen bill which is a denomination of the maximum denomination. Let them pay out.

  As described above, in the present modification, when the withdrawal control unit 84 serving as the withdrawal control unit receives the permission information transmitted from the management apparatus 300 in response to the withdrawal request information by the communication interface 74 serving as the communication unit, The bill deposit / withdrawal device 102 which is a storage device is controlled so that the amount of money designated by the code scanner 36 which is the withdrawal amount designation means is paid out from the bill deposit / withdrawal device 102 with the denomination of the maximum face amount. Therefore, the bill depositing / dispensing device 102 pays out only 10,000 yen bills, which are money of the maximum denomination that is not used for change, as withdrawal money. Money that can be used for fishing such as 1000 yen bills will not be reduced by withdrawal. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the shortage of change to the shopper due to the withdrawal of the deposit of the deposit account of the financial institution from the banknote deposit and withdrawal device 102.
