Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention is applicable to public funds such as taxes, pensions, fixed asset taxes, etc., or utility charges such as utility charges and telephone charges, where payment information for these is recorded. This invention relates to a new automatic toll payment machine for automatic payment using a payment form.

(b) Conventional technology Currently, personal utility bills are automatically deducted each month at banks and other financial institutions by following the prescribed procedures, and a receipt notification is sent by mail. There is no longer a need to go to a financial institution and complete payment procedures. However, in large customers such as companies and factories, bills for water, electricity, telephone, etc. are often made by department, and in this case, the accounting department who oversees all departments is responsible for contacting financial institutions. Individuals must also complete payment procedures at a financial institution for public funds such as taxes and pensions.

By the way, the payment procedure at the above-mentioned financial institutions is not automated, and the payer has to submit the payment form to the staff at the counter and wait for the staff to process it.
The process is time-consuming and complicated. Therefore, like the automatic transfer machines currently in use, if you insert the payment form and payment fee into the machine, the machine will automatically check the payment details, and if they are complete, the payment form and fee will be transferred to the machine. An automatic toll payment machine is being devised and proposed that processes the payment process, then separates the receipt section from the payment form and returns it with a receipt stamp, receipt date, and tax office approval stamp printed on it.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, according to the current stamp tax law, any amount paid in excess of 30,000 yen must be stamped. Since the stamp tax cannot be affixed, the stamp tax amount is collected along with the payment fee, and as proof of this, the tax office stamps the stamp of approval on the receipt and returns it to the customer, and the financial institution collects the stamp tax amount for each payment transaction. Keep track of the collection status, -
You must report to the tax office every period, and if you do not do this, you will not be able to use the automatic toll payment machine mentioned above.

The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic toll payment machine having such a function.

(d) Means for Solving Problems This invention provides a means for reading payment information on an inserted payment form, a means for stamping a tax office approved seal on a payment form in which the payment fee exceeds a certain amount, and the seal. A means for printing stamp tax information on a transaction journal for each transaction, a stamp tax counter that counts and stores the number of stamps, and a stamp tax counter that prints the total number of stamps on the transaction journal during total processing. , and a control circuit for clearing the counter.

(E) Effect According to this invention, when the payment information reading means detects from the read information that the payment fee exceeds 30,000 yen, it stamps the payment form with a seal approved by the tax office and records the payment in the transaction journal. Print and record that the transaction has been stamped with a stamp approved by the tax office and stamp tax information. On the other hand, the stamp tax counter counts the number of stamps once.

Such an operation is performed for each payment transaction, and when the total number of stamps is counted after a certain period of time, the total number of stamps on the counter is transferred to the transaction journal, and the counter is cleared.

(f) Effects of the invention Therefore, the contents of the transaction journal that have been compiled include all stamp tax information for each payment transaction and the total number of times stamps have been affixed. declarations can now be made easily and accurately.

(g) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows an external view of an automatic toll payment machine, with a CRTI on the front panel that guides customers (payers) to operate the machine.
A bill insertion slot 2, a bill exit 3 and a coin exit 4 for inserting payment charges, and a handling indicator 5 are provided. 6 is a call button for the customer to call the staff, 7 is the staff/manager's key, and 8 is a customer approach detection sensor.

The bill A used in this automatic toll payment machine is as shown in Fig. 3 as an example, so it is a payment in which both the bill parts al, a2 and the receipt part a3 of the income amount receipt and the payment notice are integrated. As will be described later, the invoice is stamped with stored marks bl and bl on both invoice parts al and a2,
Receipt part a3 with receipt stamp b2 and tax office approved stamp b
3 is stamped, the receipt is cut into three pieces by a cutter, and only the receipt part a3 is returned to the customer, while the other two pieces are stored separately in the device. This bill A is mailed to users of public facilities (telegraph and telephone facilities in the case of Figure 3) from the relevant public facilities company, and contains various payment information such as the billed amount required for payment. has been done.

Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the automatic toll payment machine, showing a bill conveyance path 10 by upper and lower belt conveyors 10a and 10b from the bill insertion slot 2 at the left end of the drawing to the cutter 9 installed inside the machine. It is constructed almost in a straight line.

From the bill insertion slot 2 to the cutter 9, this bill conveyance path 10 includes a tax office approved stamp unit 11, an OCR head 12, a printer unit 13,
Each element is arranged in the order of the receipt and stored stamp unit 14.

The OCR head 12 optically recognizes the characters on the bill A. The inserted bill A first advances to the OCR head 12, and the head reads and checks the contents of the bill.

The tax office approved stamp unit 11 is for invoice A.
If the written contents are correct according to the above check and the required fee has been paid, a tax office approved stamp b3 is stamped on the receipt part a3 as shown in Fig. 3.

After the stamp is affixed, the bill A is conveyed to the right in the drawing toward the receipt and storage stamp unit 14, but passes through the printer unit 13 on the way. This printer unit 13 prints the receipt date C2 and storage date C1 shown in FIG. It is applied by selecting a location that fits inside the area.

The receipt and storage stamp unit 14 has the receipt date C2 and storage date C1 printed in advance,
A received mark b2 and a stored mark b1 are stamped around these.

The cutter 9 then cuts the bill sA into three pieces, and after cutting, only the receipt part a3 is sent back and returned to the customer. The other two bill portions at and a2 are stored in separate storage boxes 17.18 via a branch conveyance path 15.16 downstream of the cutter. This distribution is for storage, so branch conveyance path 1
A flapper 19 that switches between 5.16 and 16 is equipped.

Further, since the customer may forget to take the receipt part a3 sent back to the bill insertion slot 2, in that case, the customer takes in the receipt part a3 again and stores it in the collection box 20. flapper 2
1 is for switching the conveyance route for storing the receipt portion a3 in the collection box 20.

Figure 4 shows the control circuit of the automatic toll payment machine, where CPU2
0 checks the read data of the OCR head 12, and if the result is normal, the stamp unit 11.14, as described above, according to the program stored in the ROM 21.
Controls the printer unit 13, cutter 9, and conveyance path drive circuit 22 to process the invoice A and charges;
In addition, necessary data is stored in the RAM 23.

In addition, the tax office approved stamp b by the stamp unit 11
3 is stamped by the OCR head 12 reading that the paid fee exceeds 30,000 yen, and at this time the CPU
20 is a stamp b indicating that the payment transaction has been approved by the tax office on the transaction journal by the transaction journal printing device 24;
3 is printed and recorded together with the stamp tax information, and the stamp tax counter (non-volatile memory) 25 is made to count once the number of stamps of the tax office approved stamp b3.

Next, the function of the control circuit will be described using the operation flow chart shown in FIG. 5. If bill A is inserted and there is no abnormality in the data read by the OCR head 12, the inserted banknotes and coins will be stored. , the payment transaction is completed as long as there is no storage abnormality (steps nl, n2, n3.n4.n5.n6
).

At the same time, if there is no abnormality in the read data, the receipt and storage dates are printed and a receipt stamp is stamped as described above (steps n7 and n8).

Additionally, when the transaction amount exceeds 30,000 yen, a seal approved by the tax office is affixed and the stamp tax counter 25
is counted up by +1 (step n9.nlo,
n1l).

In addition, the transaction journal printing device 24 prints a symbol such as an asterisk (*) indicating that stamp tax processing has occurred in the print data portion of the transaction journal, and then prints stamp tax information (n12.n13.n14). .

After such an operation flow is repeated for each transaction, when aggregation is commanded, the contents of the stamp tax counter 25 are printed in the transaction journal as shown in Figure 6, and if this is done correctly, the corresponding The contents of the stamp tax counter 25 are cleared (
n21. n22. n23).

Therefore, in the transaction journal created by aggregation, stamp tax information is recorded for each payment transaction, and total stamp information for gold payment transactions is also recorded, so this transaction journal Stamp tax information can be clearly grasped, making it easier to file tax returns to the tax office.

In terms of the correspondence between the structure of this invention and the embodiments described above, the payment form of this invention corresponds to the bill A of the embodiments, and the payment information reading means corresponds to the OCR head 12, and the payment information reading means corresponds to the OCR head 12. The approved stamp stamping means corresponds to the StampUnits) 11, the transaction journal printing means corresponds to the transaction journal printing device 24, the stamp tax counter corresponds to the stamp tax counter 25, and the control circuit corresponds to the CPU 20. Correspondingly, the tax office approved seal corresponds to the tax office approved seal b3.However, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the structure of bill A is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 3.
