Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is applied to a cash register used as a standalone device or incorporated in a POS system, etc., for storing money such as sales proceeds and change. The present invention relates to a coin storage device.

Conventional technology The money storage device in the conventional cash register is
This will be explained based on the diagram and FIG. In the device shown in FIG. 4, a device main body 2 is disposed on the top of a housing 1a. However, inside the housing 1a, a money storage device 1b having a money storage means (not shown) for storing money is disposed in a manner that can be freely taken out and taken out. Further, the device main body 2 includes:
It is formed by a customer display 2a, a cashier display 2b, a keyboard 2c, a printer 2d, and the like.

Furthermore, the device shown in FIG. 5 is different from the above-mentioned device in that the housing 3a and the device main body 4 are arranged with a predetermined distance between them. However, inside the housing 3a, there is a money storage device 3b having a money storage means (not shown) for storing money.
are arranged so that they can be taken out and put in freely. Further, the device main body 4 includes a cashier display 4a, a keyboard 4b, a printer 40, and the like.

In such a cash register, the money storage device 1b (3b) is normally stored inside the housing 1a (3a), and is ejected when the closing key is pressed after registering a product. . Furthermore, the cashier stores the coins deposited by the customer in the ejected coin storage device falb.
(3b) and cashier display 2b (4a)
After confirming the amount of change, the customer takes out money corresponding to the amount of change from the money storage device 1b (3b) and hands it to the customer.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the former case, when taking out money equivalent to the amount of change from the money storage device 1b, the cashier confirms the amount of change displayed on the cashier display 2b and then stores it in memory. Based on this, money is taken out from the money storage device 1b. If the user forgets the amount of change, he/she checks the display on the cashier display 2b again.

In the latter case, since the money storage device ff13 and the main body 4 of the device are arranged separately, the cashier memorizes the amount of change confirmed by the cashier display 4a and uses the information based on this memory. The coins are taken out from the coin storage device 3b and checked again using the cashier display 4a.

In this way, when the cashier takes out the amount of change from the money storage device, the amount of change cannot be confirmed on the cashier display 2b (4a), so if the cashier forgets the amount of change, It is necessary to check the cashier display 2b (4a) again, which takes time, prevents smooth exchange of money, and creates a traffic jam for customers.

Additionally, since the cashier relies on his/her memory, there is a risk of making a mistake in the amount of change.

If the amount of change is incorrect, the customer will be inconvenienced, and as a result, the trust in the store will be lost.

Means for Solving the Problems In a money storage device that has a money storage means for storing money and is arranged in a housing so as to be freely put in and taken out, the money storage device is provided with change amount display means for displaying the amount of change. did.

Since the change amount display means for displaying the amount of change is disposed in the money storage device, when the amount of change required for change is taken out from the money storage device, the amount of change is confirmed by the change amount display means. At the same time, coins can be taken out from the coin storage device. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required to exchange money with customers and make the operation smoother.As a result, customers are no longer stuck in traffic, and at the same time, the amount of change can be reduced. This eliminates the possibility of making a mistake and causing inconvenience to customers and damaging the store's trust.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the money storage device 5a in this cash register has a money storage means 5b for storing money, and is disposed inside a housing 5c so as to be freely put in and taken out. A cashier's display 5d serving as change amount display means is disposed at one end.

Further, the hardware configuration of the cash register in which this money storage device 5a is installed is as shown in FIG.
A ROM 7 and a RAM 8 are connected to the PU 6 to form a microcomputer. Furthermore, a customer display 9 is connected to the CPU 6 via a display controller 9a, a keyboard IO is connected via a keyboard controller loa, and a printer controller is connected to the CPU 6. A printer 11 is connected to the printer 11 through the lla, a currency storage device 5a is connected through the discharge controller 12, and a cashier display 5d is connected through the display controller 13.

The ROM 7 controls the CPU 6 to store the RAM 8, the customer display 9, and the keyboard lO.
A program for exchanging data, commands, etc. between the printer 11, the money storage device 5a, and the cashier display 5d is stored.

In such a configuration, when registering a product, the subtotal key (not shown) is pressed after product data including the sales amount of the product is registered, as shown in FIG. When the closing key (not shown) is pressed after the deposit amount is registered, the amount of change is calculated by subtracting the sales amount of the product from the deposit amount, and this calculation result is output to the display controller 13 and displayed at the cashier. After displaying on the display 5d, a discharge signal is output to the discharge controller 12 to discharge the currency storage device 5a.

Furthermore, it is determined whether or not the money storage device 5a is in the ejected state, and if the money storage device 5a is in the ejected state, the process moves to a registration disable routine that disables continued registration. When the fi5a is in the stored state, a reset signal is output to the display controller 13 to reset the display on the cashier display 5d to O.

In this way, since the cashier display 5d that displays the amount of change is disposed in the money storage device 5a, it is possible to check the amount of change on the cashier display 5d and take out the money from the money storage device 5a at the same time. I can do it. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required to exchange money with a customer and to make the operation smoother.As a result, customers are not stuck in traffic, and at the same time, the amount of change can be reduced. There will be no need to make a mistake and cause inconvenience to customers and damage the store's trust.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a change amount display for displaying the amount of change on the money storage device in a money storage device that has a money storage means for storing money and is disposed in a case so as to be freely put in and taken out. Since the means is provided, when taking out the amount of money required for change from the money storage device, the amount of change can be confirmed by the change amount display means and the money can be taken out from the money storage device at the same time. This reduces the time required to transfer money to and from customers and makes the process smoother.As a result, customers are no longer stuck in traffic jams, and at the same time, customers who have given the wrong amount of change can This has the effect of eliminating the need to cause trouble and damage the trust in the store.
