Description

本発明は、スーパーマーケット等の店舗の精算所に設置され、POSシステム等のキャッシュレジスタと、紙幣入出金機および硬貨入出金機等の貨幣入出金機と、それらを配置するレジ台等とからなるレジ精算装置に関する。   The present invention is installed in a checkout office of a store such as a supermarket, and includes a cash register such as a POS system, a money depositing / dispensing machine such as a banknote depositing / dispensing machine and a coin depositing / dispensing machine, and a cash register for arranging them. The present invention relates to a cash register settlement apparatus.

従来のこのようなレジ精算に係わる装置として、先に出願され特許された特許第3803202号公報(特許文献1)に記載されるような釣銭自動払い出し装置が知られている。この特許文献1に記載される釣銭自動払い出し装置は、キャッシュレジスタと接続され釣
銭払い出し指令に応じて釣銭を自動的に払出口へ払い出す釣銭払い出し機能と、顧客から受取って投入口へ投入された貨幣を金種別に分類して収納する分類収納機能とを有し、硬貨払出口と硬貨投入口とが共に装置本体の一方側に設けられた釣銭自動払い出し装置において、硬貨投入口を含む装置本体の上部に着脱可能とされ硬貨投入口が設けられている側とは反対側の上部に開口するように形成された上部硬貨投入口と、この上部硬貨投入口へ投入された硬貨を硬貨投入口へ導くシュート部と、を有する投入口変換ユニットを設け、この投入口変換ユニットを装置本体に装着したときは硬貨払出口が顧客側に位置し、上部硬貨投入口が係員側に位置するように配置して、硬貨払出口に払い出された釣銭を顧客自らが取り出して受け取るようにし、投入口変換ユニットを装置本体に装着しないときは硬貨払出口および硬貨投入口が係員側に位置するように配置可能としたものである。
2. Description of the Related Art As an apparatus related to such conventional register settlement, there is known an automatic change dispensing device as described in Japanese Patent No. 3803202 (Patent Document 1) filed and patented earlier. The automatic change dispensing device described in Patent Document 1 is connected to a cash register and automatically changes to a change dispensing command according to a change dispensing command. A device main body including a coin input port in an automatic change dispensing device having a coin storing and storing function for classifying and storing money according to denomination, both of which are provided on one side of the device main body. The upper coin slot is formed to open on the upper side opposite to the side where the coin slot is provided, and the coins inserted into the upper coin slot are inserted into the coin slot. When the insertion port conversion unit is mounted on the apparatus main body, the coin outlet is located on the customer side, and the upper coin insertion port is located on the clerk side. So that the customer can pick up and receive the change paid out to the coin outlet, and when the input port conversion unit is not attached to the apparatus main body, the coin outlet and the coin input port are located on the clerk side. It is possible to arrange them.

このような釣銭自動払い出し装置によれば、一種類の釣銭自動払い出し装置により、顧客自らが釣銭硬貨を取り出す顧客操作方式の運用と、貨幣の受け払いをすべて係員が行う係員操作方式の運用とを選択的に使用することができ、店舗においてその使い分けができる。そして、係員操作方式においては、釣銭自動払い出し装置に不慣れな顧客に容易に対応可能とし、顧客操作方式の運用においては、レジ精算所における貨幣の受け払い業務の一部を顧客自らが行うようにし、係員が1人の顧客に対応する時間を短縮して迅速な客さばきを可能とすることができる、というものである。   According to such an automatic change dispensing device, the customer operation method in which the customer himself takes out the change coins by one type of automatic change dispensing device and the operation of the clerk operation method in which the clerk performs all payment and payment of money are performed. It can be used selectively and can be used properly in the store. In the clerk operation method, customers who are unfamiliar with the automatic change dispensing device can be easily handled, and in the operation of the customer operation method, the customer himself / herself performs part of the money collection / payment work at the cashier settlement office. The clerk can reduce the time for one customer and enable quick customer handling.

なお、顧客操作方式において、貨幣の受け払い業務の一部を顧客自らが行うもの(セミセルフ式)とし、そのすべてを顧客自らが行うもの(全セルフ式)としないのは、その受け払い業務のすべてを顧客自らが行うものとすると、釣銭装置の扱いに不慣れな顧客が居た場合に、その操作説明等に手間取り、却って精算処理が停滞する虞があるからである。   It should be noted that in the customer operation method, a part of the money receiving and receiving business is performed by the customer himself (semi-self type), and not all of the money is performed by the customer himself (full self-type). This is because if the customer himself / herself does everything, when there is a customer who is unfamiliar with the handling of the change device, there is a risk that the explanation of the operation will be time consuming and the checkout process will be delayed.

特許第3803202号公報Japanese Patent No. 3803202

ところで、このような従来の釣銭自動払い出し装置が設置されるレジ精算所において、係員操作方式の運用を行う場合は、POS等のキャッシュレジスタの操作側と、釣銭自動払い出し装置の操作側(硬貨払出口、硬貨投入口等が配置される側)を係員側に向けて同一方向に配置することが必要である。また同様に、顧客操作方式の運用を行う場合は、キャッシュレジスタの操作側を係員側に向ける一方、釣銭自動払い出し装置の操作面を、例えば係員と対向する顧客側に向けて配置しなければならない。しかしながら、キャッシュレジスタや釣銭自動払い出し機は、通常はそれらを載置するレジ台に固定されているから、その向きを容易に切り替えることはできない。したがって、これらのレジ処理の運用方
式を変更する場合は、事前にキャッシュレジスタや釣銭自動払い出し機の向きを変更しておく必要があり、営業時間帯や顧客の混雑状況に対応して自在にレジ処理の運用方式を変更することは事実上不可能であった。すなわち、状況に即応して適宜にレジ処理の運用方式を変更し、その業務効率を高めるようにすることができない問題があった。
By the way, in the cashier cashier where such a conventional automatic change dispensing device is installed, when operating the clerk operation method, the cash register operation side such as POS and the operation side of the automatic change dispensing device (coin payment) It is necessary to arrange the outlet, the coin insertion slot, etc. in the same direction toward the clerk side. Similarly, when operating the customer operation method, the cash register operating side must be directed to the clerk side, while the operating surface of the automatic change dispensing device must be arranged, for example, to the customer side facing the clerk. . However, since the cash register and the automatic change dispenser are normally fixed to a cash register table on which they are placed, the direction cannot be easily switched. Therefore, when changing the operating method of these cash register processing, it is necessary to change the direction of the cash register and the automatic change dispenser in advance, so that the cash register can be freely adjusted according to the business hours and the congestion situation of customers. It was virtually impossible to change the operation method of processing. That is, there has been a problem that it is not possible to change the cashier processing operation method in an appropriate manner in accordance with the situation and to improve the business efficiency.

また、貨幣の受け払いを顧客自らが行う顧客操作方式の運用においては、顧客が買い物代金の総額を事前に把握し、その支払いに使用する貨幣が準備されている場合でも、キャッシュレジスタにより買い物代金の集計が行われるまで顧客はその代金を支払えず、或いはその代金を釣銭自動払い出し装置に投入をすることができない。すなわち、買い物代金の集計が終了するまでその支払いを待たねばならないから、その待機状態によりレジ処理時間の短縮が進まない問題があった。   In addition, in the operation of the customer operation method in which the customer pays and pays money, even if the customer knows the total amount of shopping in advance and the money to be used for payment is prepared, the cash register is used to purchase the money. The customer cannot pay the price until it is counted, or cannot put the price into the automatic change dispensing device. That is, there is a problem that the cashier processing time cannot be shortened due to the waiting state because it is necessary to wait for the payment until the collection of the shopping price is completed.

本発明は、このような問題に対応するため、レジ処理業務の混雑状況や客層の状況に応じて適宜にレジ処理の運用方式を変更可能にすることでその業務効率を高め、また顧客の代金支払いが速やかに行えるようにすることで、そのレジ処理時間の短縮を進めることができるレジ精算装置を提供することを目的とするものである。   In order to cope with such a problem, the present invention improves the operation efficiency by making it possible to change the operation method of the cashier processing appropriately according to the congestion situation of the cashier processing business and the situation of the customer base, and the price of the customer. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cashier settlement apparatus that can shorten the cashier processing time by making payment possible promptly.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、買い物代金の集計や登録を行うキャッシュレジスタと、前記キャッシュレジスタに接続され、買い物代金としての貨幣を投入可能な投入口や釣銭を払い出す払出口等が設けられた操作部を筐体の一方側に配置した貨幣処理機と、これらを載置して配置するレジ台とを備えたレジ精算装置において、前記レジ台は、前記貨幣処理機の操作部のみを、営業時間帯に応じて、これを管理する係員側に向けた通常操作位置と、顧客側に向けたセルフ操作位置とに切り替え可能に構成されるものである。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention includes a cash register for collecting and registering a shopping price, an input port that is connected to the cash register and can input money as a shopping price, and a payout outlet for paying change. In a cash register settlement apparatus including a money handling machine in which a provided operation unit is arranged on one side of a housing and a cash register on which these are placed and arranged, the cash register is an operation unit of the money handling machine Is configured to be switchable between a normal operation position directed to a staff member who manages this and a self-operation position directed to a customer side in accordance with the business hours.

これによれば、貨幣処理機に不慣れな顧客が比較的に多い営業時間帯においては、貨幣処理機の操作部を係員側に向けて、貨幣の受け払い業務をすべて係員が行うようにすることで、その扱いに不慣れな顧客の操作によるレジ精算処理の停滞を防止することができる。また、その一方で比較的に常連客が多くレジ処理業務が混雑する平日の夕刻等の営業時間帯には、貨幣処理機の操作部を顧客側に向けて、貨幣の受け払い業務の一部又は全部をその扱いに慣れた顧客自らが行うようにし、係員の顧客に対する対応時間を短縮し、総じてレジ処理業務の効率化を進めることができる。   According to this, in business hours when there are relatively many customers unfamiliar with money processing machines, the operation section of the money processing machine is directed toward the staff, and the staff handles all money handling operations. Thus, it is possible to prevent the checkout process from being stagnant due to the operation of a customer unaccustomed to the handling. On the other hand, during business hours such as weekday evenings when the number of regular customers is relatively large and the cash register processing business is crowded, the operation part of the money processor is directed to the customer side and part of the money collection and payment business. Alternatively, the customer who is accustomed to handling them can do all of them, shortening the response time of the clerk to the customer, and improving the efficiency of the cash register processing operation as a whole.

以上説明したように本発明によれば、レジの混雑状況や客層の状態に応じて、レジ処理の運用方式を、適宜に顧客操作方式と係員操作方式に切り換えることができるから、総じてレジ処理業務の効率化を進めることができる。したがって、顧客のレジ待ち時間の短縮や、レジ用設備の効率的運用を図ることができるレジ精算装置を提供することができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, the cashier processing operation method can be appropriately switched between the customer operation method and the clerk operation method in accordance with the cash register congestion situation and the customer base state. Can be made more efficient. Therefore, it is possible to provide a cash register settlement apparatus that can shorten the customer's cash register waiting time and can efficiently operate cash register equipment.

ここで、このように構成される本発明の実施の形態のレジ精算装置1におけるレジ処理動作について、図5を参照しながら説明する。先ず、貨幣処理機3の操作部15をレジ係員側に向けた場合、すなわち買い物代金、釣銭の受け渡しをすべてレジ係員を介して行なう(係員操作方式)場合の動作(図5左欄参照)について説明する。顧客の買い上げた商品がサッカー台7上に持ち込まれると、その商品のキャッシュレジスタ2への登録が開始され、すべての商品の登録が完了すると「小計」釦(例えばキーボード2aの一部として配置される)が押下され、その代金の集計金額がキャッシュレジスタ2の表示部2bに表示される。このとき貨幣処理機3が入金可能状態となる。そして、レジ係員がその集計金額を請求代金として読み上げる。そうすると、顧客がその代金を支払うための貨幣をレジ係員に手渡し、レジ係員はその預かり貨幣の金額を顧客に確認すると共に貨幣処理機3の硬貨投入口17,紙幣投入口18に投入する(所要時間:5秒)。貨幣処理機3は、硬貨投入口17,紙幣投入口18に投入された貨幣を内部に取り込み、その入金額がキャッシュレジスタ2の表示器2bに表示される(所要時間:2.5秒)。レジ係員は表示器2bに表示された入金額に間違いがないか確認し、入金額に間違いがなければ「現計」釦(例えばキーボード2aの一部として配置される)を押下する(所要時間:1秒)。そうすると、釣銭がある場合はキャッシュレジスタ2の表示器2bに釣銭金額が表示され(所要時間:1秒)、さらに貨幣処理機3の硬貨出金口20,紙幣出金口21に釣銭金額に相当する貨幣が出金される(所要時間:3秒)。そして、レジ係員は、キャッシュレジスタ2から発行されるレシートと貨幣処理機3の硬貨出金口20,紙幣出金口21に出金された釣銭貨幣を取り出して顧客に手渡す(所要時間:硬貨受取等1秒、紙幣受取各1秒)。なお、釣銭がない場合は、レシートのみを顧客に渡す。このようにしてレジ処理作業が終了する。   Here, the cash register processing operation in the cash register adjusting apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed toward the cashier, that is, when the shopping fee and change are all delivered via the cashier (clerk operation method) (see the left column in FIG. 5). explain. When a product purchased by a customer is brought onto the soccer base 7, registration of the product into the cash register 2 is started. When registration of all the products is completed, a “subtotal” button (for example, a part of the keyboard 2a is arranged). And the total amount of the price is displayed on the display unit 2b of the cash register 2. At this time, the money handling machine 3 is ready to deposit. The cashier then reads the total amount as the billing fee. Then, the customer hands the money for paying the money to the cashier, and the cashier confirms the amount of the deposited money with the customer and puts it into the coin slot 17 and the banknote slot 18 of the money handling machine 3 (required) Time: 5 seconds). The money handling machine 3 takes in the money inserted into the coin insertion slot 17 and the bill insertion slot 18 and displays the deposit amount on the display 2b of the cash register 2 (required time: 2.5 seconds). The cashier confirms whether there is an error in the deposit amount displayed on the display 2b, and if there is no mistake in the deposit amount, presses the “current total” button (for example, arranged as part of the keyboard 2a) (required time) : 1 second). Then, when there is a change, the change amount is displayed on the indicator 2b of the cash register 2 (required time: 1 second), and further, the change amount is equivalent to the change amount at the coin outlet 20 and the banknote outlet 21 of the money processor 3. The money to be withdrawn is withdrawn (required time: 3 seconds). Then, the cashier takes out the receipt issued from the cash register 2 and the change money dispensed to the coin dispensing port 20 and the banknote dispensing port 21 of the money processing machine 3 and hands them to the customer (required time: receipt of coins). Etc. 1 second, bill receipt 1 second each). If there is no change, only the receipt is given to the customer. In this way, the registration processing work is completed.

次に、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を顧客側に向けた場合、すなわち買い物代金を顧客自らが貨幣処理機3の硬貨投入口17,紙幣投入口18に投入し、また顧客自らが貨幣処理機3の硬貨出金口20,紙幣出金口21から釣銭を取り出す(顧客操作方式)場合の動作(図5右欄参照)について説明する。なお、本発明のレジ精算装置1は、貨幣処理機3を載置する回転板部27が前述のように左右方向に回転自在に構成されるので、レジ処理業務の混雑状況や客層状況に応じて、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を係員側から顧客側に向けて容易に切り換えることができる。また、本発明のレジ精算装置1を構成するキャッシュレジスタ2は、貨幣処理機3の入金動作の開始時期を、買い物商品の登録(代金の入力)開始時またはその集計金額の確定時の何れかに切り換える図示しない制御手段を備える。(なお、貨幣処理機3の入金動作の開始時期を集計金額の確定時とする場合は、代金を請求する顧客の取違え等を防止することができる。)そして、レジ係員は、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を顧客側に向けるとき、貨幣処理機3の入金開始時期を買い物商品の登録開始時に切り換えることが望ましい。   Next, when the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed to the customer side, that is, the customer himself / herself puts the purchase price into the coin insertion slot 17 and the bill insertion slot 18 of the money handling machine 3, and the customer himself / herself handles the money processing. The operation (see the right column in FIG. 5) in the case where change is taken out from the coin dispensing slot 20 and the banknote dispensing slot 21 of the machine 3 (customer operation method) will be described. In the cash register settlement apparatus 1 of the present invention, the rotary plate portion 27 on which the money handling machine 3 is placed is configured to be rotatable in the left-right direction as described above. Thus, the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 can be easily switched from the clerk side to the customer side. Further, the cash register 2 constituting the cash register settlement apparatus 1 of the present invention sets the start time of the depositing operation of the money handling machine 3 at the time of starting the registration of the shopping product (input of the price) or at the time of finalizing the total amount. Control means (not shown) for switching to is provided. (In addition, when the start time of the depositing operation of the money handling machine 3 is set at the time of finalizing the total amount, it is possible to prevent the customer who charges the money from being mistaken). When the operation unit 15 of 3 is directed to the customer side, it is desirable to switch the deposit start time of the money handling machine 3 at the start of registration of shopping items.

このように設定されたレジ精算装置1に置いて、顧客の買い上げた商品がサッカー台7上に持ち込まれると、その商品のキャッシュレジスタ2への登録がレジ係員により開始される。そうすると、予め買い物代金の総額を把握し、その支払い用の貨幣を準備している常連客等が、その貨幣を貨幣処理機3の硬貨投入口17,紙幣投入口18に投入する。このとき貨幣処理機3は入金可能状態に設定されているので、その貨幣が内部に取り込まれる。そして、すべての買い物商品の登録が完了すると「小計」釦が押下され、その代金の集計金額がキャッシュレジスタ2の表示部2bに表示される。そして、レジ係員がその集計金額を請求代金として読み上げ、顧客に確認する(所要時間:1.5秒)。また、このとき先に貨幣処理機3の硬貨投入口17,紙幣投入口18に投入された貨幣の入金額がキャッシュレジスタ2の表示器2bに表示される。レジ係員は表示器2bに表示された入金額が間違いないか確認し、入金額が間違いなければ「現計」釦を押下する(所要時間:1秒)。そうすると、釣銭がある場合はキャッシュレジスタ2の表示部2bに釣銭金額が表示され(所要時間:1秒)、さらに貨幣処理機3の出金口21,22に釣銭金額に相当する貨幣が出金される(所要時間:3秒)。そして、顧客は貨幣処理機3の硬貨出金口20,紙幣出金口21に出金された釣銭貨幣を取り出し、レジ係員はキャッシュレジスタ2から発行されるレシートとて顧客に手渡す(所要時間:硬貨取出し1秒、紙幣取出し等1秒)。なお、釣銭がない場合は、レシートのみが顧客に渡される。このようにしてレジ処理作業が終了する。   When the merchandise purchased by the customer is placed on the soccer table 7 in the cash register settlement apparatus 1 set in this way, registration of the merchandise in the cash register 2 is started by the cashier. If it does so, the regular customer etc. which grasp the total amount of shopping money beforehand and prepare the money for the payment will throw the money into the coin slot 17 and the banknote slot 18 of the money processor 3. At this time, since the money handling machine 3 is set in a depositable state, the money is taken into the inside. When the registration of all shopping items is completed, the “subtotal” button is pressed, and the total amount of the price is displayed on the display unit 2 b of the cash register 2. The cashier then reads the total amount as a billing fee and confirms with the customer (required time: 1.5 seconds). At this time, the deposit amount of money previously inserted into the coin slot 17 and the bill slot 18 of the money handling machine 3 is displayed on the display 2 b of the cash register 2. The cashier confirms whether or not the deposit amount displayed on the display 2b is correct, and if the deposit amount is not incorrect, presses the “current total” button (required time: 1 second). Then, when there is change, the change amount is displayed on the display unit 2b of the cash register 2 (required time: 1 second), and further, the money corresponding to the change amount is withdrawn at the withdrawal ports 21 and 22 of the money handling machine 3. (Required time: 3 seconds). And a customer takes out the change money withdrawn to the coin dispensing port 20 and the banknote dispensing port 21 of the money handling machine 3, and the cashier gives it to the customer as a receipt issued from the cash register 2 (required time: 1 second for coin removal, 1 second for banknote removal, etc.). If there is no change, only the receipt is given to the customer. In this way, the registration processing work is completed.

ところで、貨幣処理機3の操作部15が顧客側に向けられていると、常連客等の貨幣処理機3の扱いに慣れた顧客は、およそ買い物代金が分かっている場合や、支払いに供する貨幣が決まっている場合に、買い物代金の集計金額が確定する前に、支払い用の貨幣を貨幣処理機3の硬貨投入口17,紙幣投入口18に投入する。そうすると、買い物代金の集計金額が確定する前に、買い物代金の支払いが済んでしまうから、貨幣処理機3の操作部15が係員側に向けられ、買い物代金の集計金額が確定してからその支払いがレジ係員を介して行われる係員操作方式よりも、その分レジ処理時間を短くすることができる。例えば図5においは、左欄に記載の「顧客が(買上げ金額を確認し)、現金を取り出してレジ係員に渡し、レジ係員がそれを貨幣処理機3に投入する時間(5秒)と、貨幣処理機3によりその貨幣が入金計数される時間の(2.5秒)」が、右欄に記載の「顧客が買上げ金額を確認する時間(1.5秒)」に短縮されている。   By the way, when the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed to the customer side, a customer who is accustomed to handling the money handling machine 3 such as a regular customer knows about the purchase price or is used for payment. Is determined, the payment money is inserted into the coin insertion slot 17 and the bill insertion slot 18 of the money handling machine 3 before the total amount of the shopping price is determined. Then, since the payment of the shopping price is completed before the total amount of the shopping price is determined, the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed to the staff, and the payment is made after the total amount of the shopping price is determined. However, the cashier processing time can be shortened by a corresponding amount compared to the cashier operation method performed through the cashier. For example, in FIG. 5, “the customer (confirms the purchase amount), takes out cash and gives it to the cashier, and the cashier puts it into the money handling machine 3 (5 seconds), “Time for depositing and counting the money by the money handling machine 3 (2.5 seconds)” is shortened to “time for the customer to confirm the purchase amount (1.5 seconds)” in the right column.

なお、貨幣処理機3の操作部の向きは、容易に切り換え可能であるから、顧客が高齢者等で貨幣処理機の扱いに不慣れであってレジ係員の手助けが必要となる場合は、レジ処理作業の途中で、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を適宜に係員側に向けて切換えて運用することが可能である。   The direction of the operation unit of the money handling machine 3 can be easily switched. Therefore, if the customer is an elderly person who is unfamiliar with the handling of the money handling machine and needs assistance from a cashier, the cashier processing In the middle of the work, it is possible to switch the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 appropriately toward the clerk side for operation.

以上のように、本発明のレジ精算装置1においては、貨幣処理機3に不慣れな顧客が多い営業時間帯においては、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を係員側に向けて、金銭の受け払い業務をすべて係員が行うようにすることで、その扱いに不慣れな顧客によるレジ精算処理の停滞を防止することができる。また、その一方で常連客が多くレジ処理業務が混雑する平日の夕刻等の営業時間帯には、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を顧客側に向けて、金銭の受け払い業務をその扱いに慣れた顧客自らが行うようにし、係員の顧客に対する対応時間を短縮し、総じてレジ処理業務の効率化を進めることができる。すなわち、レジの混雑状況や客層状態に応じて、レジ処理の運用方式を、適宜に顧客操作方式と係員操作方式に切り換えることができるから、総じてレジ処理業務の効率化を進めることができる。これによって、顧客のレジ待ち時間の短縮や、レジ設備の効率的運用を図ることができるレジ精算装置を提供することができる。   As described above, in the cashier settlement apparatus 1 according to the present invention, in the business hours when there are many customers unfamiliar with the money handling machine 3, the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed to the staff side to receive and pay money. By allowing all staff to perform all the work, it is possible to prevent the checkout process from being delayed by customers unaccustomed to the handling. On the other hand, during business hours such as evenings on weekdays when there are many regular customers and the cash register processing business is crowded, the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed to the customer side to handle the money receiving and receiving business. This makes it possible for a familiar customer to do the job, shortens the response time of the clerk to the customer, and improves the efficiency of the cash register processing operation as a whole. That is, the cashier processing operation method can be appropriately switched between the customer operation method and the clerk operation method in accordance with the cash register congestion status and the customer demographic state, so that it is possible to improve the efficiency of the cash register processing operation as a whole. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a cash register settlement apparatus that can shorten the customer's cash register waiting time and can efficiently operate the cash register facility.

また、顧客がその買い物代金の総額を事前に予測し、その支払用の貨幣を準備しているとき、キャッシュレジスタ2によって貨幣処理機3の入金動作の開始時期をその買物代金の入力開始時に切り換えることで、顧客がその代金の支払いを待たずにすることができる。すなわち、買物客は買い物代金の集計が確定するまでに、買い物代金に応じた貨幣の投入を済ませることができる。これによって、買い物代金の集計が確定した後にその代金を貨幣処理機3に投入するものに比べて、実質的にレジ精算時間を短縮することができるレジ精算装置を提供することができる。   Further, when the customer predicts the total amount of the shopping price in advance and prepares the money for payment, the cash register 2 switches the start timing of the depositing operation of the money handling machine 3 at the start of the input of the shopping price. In this way, customers can avoid waiting for the payment. That is, the shopper can complete the insertion of money according to the shopping price before the total of the shopping price is confirmed. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a cash register settlement apparatus that can substantially shorten the cash register settlement time as compared with the one in which the total of the shopping money is determined and then the money is put into the money handling machine 3.

なお、本発明は、言うまでもなく本実施の形態に示す装置にのみ限定されず、その趣旨の包含する範囲で応用変更が可能である。例えば、貨幣処理機3の操作部15を顧客側に向けるとき、背景技術に記載されるような投入変換ユニットを設けて硬貨投入口、紙幣投入口が係員側に位置するように配置すれば、レジの混雑状況や客層の状態に応じて、金銭の受け払い業務の一部(釣銭の受取のみ)を顧客が行うようにすることもできる。また、キャッシュレジスタ2、貨幣処理機3、レジ台5の形状、構成等は、その機能が適宜に発揮されれば良く、本実施形態に示すものに限定されるものではない。   Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the apparatus shown in this embodiment mode, and application changes can be made within the scope of the spirit of the present invention. For example, when the operation unit 15 of the money handling machine 3 is directed to the customer side, if a coin conversion slot as described in the background art is provided and the coin slot and the banknote slot are arranged on the clerk side, It is also possible for the customer to perform a part of the money receiving and receiving business (only receiving change) according to the congestion situation of the cash register and the state of the customer class. Further, the shape, configuration, and the like of the cash register 2, the money handling machine 3, and the cash register 5 are not limited to those shown in the present embodiment as long as their functions are appropriately exhibited.
