Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a postage stamp storage / management apparatus used in a sales counter for postage stamps, revenue stamps, and the like, and a stamp / sales management system using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, stamp management methods used at stamp sales counters at post offices and stamp sales outlets (stamp sales offices and stations, hereinafter referred to as offices) include sheet stamps. A plurality of drawers (containers) for storing and sorting classes are stored in a manual stamp storage box equipped with a door such as a shutter door with a lock, etc. Data management was performed by a post office counter for processing data such as payment. This conventional management device can automatically calculate postage in conjunction with an electronic scale that weighs mail, and can issue a postage certificate in conjunction with the calculation result.
In addition, data for accounting management, such as the entry and exit of stamps and sales proceeds, is configured to be registered manually by a manual input operation.
No.) and a general processing device for post office services (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-157)
965) is known.

[0003] In these conventional postal counter services, stamp data (automatic data entry) is not performed on the sales management side of stamps, but a simple stamp box (drawer) is used. Such data entry is performed by manual input, and handling management of the actual product is also performed manually. After the window is closed (the work is completed), it is necessary to carry out a stocktaking of stamps and the like, in order to carry out this stocktaking by a method such as overtime work so as not to affect the work of the next day.

[0004] Further, in an apparatus used in conventional stamp sales, operation of a stamp storage container, operation security management of keys and apparatus, counting of stamps, free setting of the amount of stamps, issuing of stamps for each stamp sheet, etc. Business management equipment, clarification of responsibility for taking over business between multiple operators, batch management of monetary sales of stamps and actual stamps, etc.There is no business processing equipment or automation, such as manual operation, It relies on management using document forms.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional postal window service device, when a staff member inputs data related to stamp sales by operating keys,
The above data is stored as electronic information, recorded on a magnetic recording medium, and sales data is registered. It replaces sales management by registering sales data by a book that is written and written on old paper. However, these postal window business devices are designed to automatically print postage stamps linked to automatic weighing of postal matter, print and issue postal stamps, register and manage their sales data, and manage other postal window related business processing data. It is mainly for registration management. Also,
Regarding stamps, data is managed by manually entering data on sales, and was not directly linked to the actual storage management of stamps.

That is, the actual management of stamps is performed by a method that is not directly related to the operation of the postal service machine. As a method, the actual stamps are managed for each type of stamps. A number of drawers for storing stamps by sorting and storing stamps in a stamp storage box with a shutter with a lock or a door with a key, and a method of manually filling in a form or book for managing stamps. In fact, inventory management of stamps and the like was performed, and almost all operations were performed manually.

Conventionally, there is no other choice but to leave the work from receipt and removal of stamps and counting of the number of copies to sales data management to the manual work of the attendant, and there is no specific means for preventing mistakes. In order to complete the management, a method has been adopted in which after the sales at the counter have been completed and the counter has been closed, procedures such as inspection and handover corresponding to the inventory work are performed and managed. However, in this method, there is a problem that work is extremely time-consuming at a window that handles a large amount of stamps, and also, in terms of security, it takes time to perform administrative procedures such as requesting the release of goods and creating a sales performance data information report. .

[0008] Further, in the devices used in conventional stamp sales, various devices for a high degree of automation and rationalization have not been realized, and the operation of stamp storage containers, the operation security management of keys and devices, and the like. Operations for counting the number of stamps, freely setting and issuing the amount of stamps, managing each stamp sheet, clarifying the responsibilities of handing over duties among multiple operators, and collectively managing the sales of stamps and the actual stamps Since no processing equipment or automation equipment is provided, there has been a problem in that all of these procedures involve manual work processing, and the sale and management of stamps and the like are performed by irrational systems and methods.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to simplify clerical work and to achieve accurate and speedy work by automating stamp storage management and stamp sales management at a counter.
