BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a point display sheet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Before explaining the point display sheet, first,
An example of a preferred sales management device will be described.

In the example described below, it is assumed that the card member has a member card in which the member number and the accumulated points are magnetically recorded in advance, for example. In addition,
This member card may be any card as long as it can write and read information, but is preferably a magnetic card specified in the JIS standard that can withstand long-term use. It is also preferable that the card is an IC card. Furthermore, it is preferable that this card can be used as a credit card.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a sales management device having a preferred configuration.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a plurality of POS terminal devices usually installed in each store or the like, and this POS terminal device 1 is connected to a store computer 2.
The store computer 2 includes a product master file F. The product master file F includes the product code Fa, a product name Fb, a normal unit price of the product, that is, a standard unit price Fc, and progressive point rate information (table) Fd. Is stored. As the progressive point rate information Fd, a predetermined amount (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a hurdle amount) predetermined in several stages, for example, a cumulative purchase amount of 0 to 2
When it is less than ¥ 100,000, less than ¥ 200,000, less than ¥ 500,000 and less than ¥ 1,000,000, and more than ¥ 1,000,000, the point rate increases progressively to 1, 3, 5, and 6 times, respectively. The progressive point rate and the cumulative period (start point and period of the cumulative period) are held.

The commodity master file F further includes a designated commodity addition point magnification for a card member designated commodity designated in advance for a card member among a large number of commodities handled at the store or the like, and a code of the commodity. Designated product additional point magnification information (table) Fe held together with
And additional point rate information (table) F for sale that holds the additional point rate to be added at the time of sale
Preferably, f is provided. The above-mentioned designated product point magnification table Fe indicates, for example, the additional point rate for a specific product such as XX (the name of the company if the product is sponsored by a manufacturer) 5 times for ponzu and 3 times for can cola. The name, the code, and the additional point rate are held together with the application period to be applied. The sale additional point rate table Ff holds a point rate that is additionally applied to all products that are usually handled, for example, plus two times.

The progressive point rate information Fd as described above is
For example, it is stored as a table as shown in FIG. Such a table is downloaded to each POS terminal device 1 and the point rate is determined by the POS terminal device 1.
It is preferably performed within. This table may be configured as a file separate from the product master file.

A host computer 4 is connected to the store computer 2 via a front-end processor 3. The merchandise master file F contains the front-end processor 3, host computer 4
May be provided. The above host computer 4
Is provided with a member data file 5, in which various data such as purchase information and points for each member are stored together with a member (card) number.

The store computer 2 (or front end processor 4, host computer 5,
Alternatively, the message for the card member is stored in the storage section of the POS terminal device 1) “Up to 200,000 yen points 1 time 200,000 yen to 500,000 yen points 3 times 500,000 yen to 1 million yen points 5 times 1 million The message to be printed on the receipt, such as “more than a circle, 6 times points”, is stored in advance.

The POS terminal 1 has a key input device 6 provided with various keys such as a numeric keypad, and is attached to each product.
Various input devices of a barcode scanner 7 for reading a barcode B indicating product information (including a unit price) such as a product code, and a card handling device 8 for reading a member (card) number recorded on a card C Is connected. The card handling device 8 is desirably a reader / writer that can also write information on a card.

The POS terminal 1 is further connected to a printer 9 for printing a receipt R or a slip handed to a customer at the time of purchase.

Next, the operation state of the apparatus when the customer is a card member and the receipt issued at that time will be described. The total purchase amount up to the previous purchase is 17
It is assumed that the price is 8,621 yen, the cumulative number of points is 1,786 points, and the total purchase price this time is 9,033 yen. Further, it is assumed that the customer card C records the above-mentioned total purchase amount, the total purchase amount update date, the total points, the total point update date, the member (card) number, and the like.
Further, as the point rate, information on the progressive point rate having the contents shown in FIG. 2 is stored as a table.

First, the card handling device 8 reads the member (card) number from the presented member card C, confirms that the card is a card member, and, at the same time, updates the total purchase price, the total purchase date update date, and the total Read the point and cumulative point update date. Next, the merchandise code of the purchased merchandise is input to the PO
Input to the S terminal device 1.

The POS terminal 1 transfers the product code to the store computer 2. The store computer 2 reads a product name, a standard unit price, etc. of the product from the product code from the product master file 3,
These data are transferred to the POS terminal 1.

The POS terminal device 1 first calculates the total purchase price based on the transferred product data. The total purchase price this time was 9,033 yen. The total purchase amount is multiplied by 1% to calculate 90 points this time. At the same time, the total purchase amount up to the previous purchase is 178,621
The points are determined by comparing the circle to the table above. Since the point rate was 1, the number of points is left as it is. After this, the total purchase amount up to the last purchase 178,
The total purchase amount of this time is added to 621 yen to calculate a new total purchase amount of 187,654 yen. Further, the current point 90 points are added to the previous total points of 1,786 points to calculate a new total points of 1,876 points.

The new cumulative purchase amount of 187,654 yen may be used to calculate how long the purchase should be made in order to increase the point rate, as described in a receipt described later. At this time, it may be displayed how many times the applied point rate is actually.

The point rate to be applied this time is
Record or memorize it in the customer card or member data file, apply this point rate for this purchase, and compare the new cumulative purchase amount to the point rate in the next stage based on the table. When it is determined whether or not the point rate should be the next point rate, the customer card is determined in accordance with the amount by determining the progressive point rate and applying the new point rate from the next purchase. Or a member data file may be updated or stored. For example, if the total purchase this time is 26,5
If it is 33 yen, the new total purchase amount is 205,
154 yen, but this new total purchase amount 205,15
When 4 yen is illuminated on the table, the first hurdle amount is reached, and the total purchase amount is in the range of 200,000 yen to less than 500,000 yen. In the cumulative period, the progressive point rate 3 It is determined that doubling should be applied, and this new point rate 3
The customer card or the member data file is updated or stored so that the double is applied from the next purchase.
In the case of the above example, if this triple is applied, 90 points × 3 = 270 points.

In the POS terminal device 1,
The necessary operations such as the calculation of the consumption tax are performed.

The new total points and the total purchase amount are updated and recorded on the card C, preferably together with an update date. Note that the date of the renewal date may be different between the total points and the total purchase amount, so it is preferable to record them separately.

Finally, by operating an enter key or a total key of the key input device, a receipt 10 on which substantially all of the above data is printed is issued.

Next, in the above case, the POS
Receipt 1 issued from the printer 9 of the terminal device 1
The contents of 0 will be described.

FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a receipt issued in the above case.

On the receipt 10, various description columns as shown in FIG. 3 are arranged, and each description column describes predetermined items according to the purchase of the product.

At the top of the receipt 10, an issuer name column 1
2 are arranged. In the issue store name column 12, the receipt 1
The name of the store that issued 0 is described. In the present embodiment, it is described as “M & C store Ikebukuro store”. In this receipt 10, below the issue store name column 12, below the purchase store name column, other general items of the receipt, for example, the total amount column showing the total sum of the amounts of the purchased products, the consumption tax amount , A tax amount column in which a tax amount is described, a deposit amount column in which a deposit amount is described, a change amount column in which a change amount is described, and the like are arranged in this order. The above may be referred to as a receipt entry field 20.

Further, a point display column 30 is provided below the receipt. This point display column 30
Is provided with a current point display field 32 and a total point display field 34.

The current point display field 32 displays a word meaning the current point and the actual number of points.
In this example, the word “this time point” and “90 points” are displayed.

In the total point display field 34, words indicating the total points and the actual number of points are displayed.
In this example, the word “total points” and “1,876 points” are displayed. In addition, this accumulated point display column 34
May display the total points up to the previous time. In that case, for example, a word such as “total points up to the previous time” and “1,786 points” are displayed.

Although not shown, the point display column 30 may be provided with a card member number column for describing a card member number. Further, the customer's first and last name may be described.
These card member numbers and the like may be displayed at any position on the receipt.

Below the point display column 30, a total purchase amount display column 40 is provided. In the total purchase amount display field 40, words indicating the total purchase amount and the actual total purchase amount are displayed. In this example, “total purchase amount” and “187,654 yen” are displayed.

Below the total purchase amount display column 40, a message column 50 is provided.
Shows a message about the cumulative point rate. In this example, "~ 200,000 yen point 1 time 200,000 yen-less than 500,000 yen point 3 times 500,000 yen-less than 1 million yen point 5 times 1 million yen or more points 6 times" is displayed. As a result, the customer had a point rate of 1 until the time of the purchase, but at a glance the conditions under which the point rate increased and progressed, the customer was able to understand at a glance, Stimulated. In other words, as the customer becomes a better customer, the privilege is likely to be larger, and the fixation of the customer is strengthened.

Although not shown, the receipt may display an application period or a time limit when an effective cumulative period is provided.

Next, the designated merchandise point magnification table Fe
The case where the additional point rate table Ff at the time of sale is applied will be described. In this case, a product to which points should be increased for a card member is determined in advance, and a specified product point magnification table Fe is stored in the product master file F. , 5 times for ポ ン ポ ン ponzu, and 3 times for △△△ can cola. The card member designated product additional point magnification information Fe as described above is
Like the above-mentioned progressive point rate information Fd, it is stored as a table as shown in FIG. 4, for example.

It should be noted that the card member-designated product may not be a single item as described above, but may be a section such as meat and vegetables. In this case, the code of the above product is
The department code is stored.

As the sale time to which the additional point rate is to be applied, the merchandise master file F holds a sale additional point rate table Ff. In the sale additional point rate table Ff, for example, twice is stored as the additional point rate.

The store computer 2 (or the front end processor 4, the host computer 5,
Alternatively, in the storage unit of the POS terminal device 1), for example, a message to be printed on a receipt such as a message for card members “membership bonus 5 times points” and a message for the above-mentioned additional points during sale “plus” n
Double points "are stored in advance.

Next, the operation state of the apparatus and the receipt issued at that time will be described. The customer is a card member designated product, such as a regular product,
The description is based on the assumption that two ponzus and three cans of cola were purchased. The normal point rate is 1/100, the additional point rate during sale is double, and the designated product multiple is, as shown in the table of FIG.
It is assumed to be twice. A case will be described in which the card is presented before the input of a code or the like for a purchased product by reading a key or reading a bar code.

First, the card handling device 8 reads a member (card) number from the presented member card C, and confirms that the card is a card member. Next, the merchandise code of the purchased merchandise is input to the POS terminal device 1 by the key input device 6 and the barcode scanner 7.

The POS terminal 1 transfers this product code to the store computer 2. The store computer 2 reads the product name, the standard unit price, the normal point rate, and the designated product multiple of the designated card member product within the applicable period from the product code from the product code in the product master file 3 and stores these data in the POS. Transfer to the terminal device 1.

The POS terminal device 1 first determines whether or not to apply the designated product multiple based on the transferred product data. In this example, since the customer is a card member and presents the card C, it is determined to adopt the designated product multiple for the card member designated product. Next, a total purchase price for the normal product, a total purchase price for each card member designated product, and a total purchase price for all products are calculated. At the same time, multiply the total purchase price for normal products by the normal point rate to calculate the number of normal points, and multiply the total purchase price for each card member designated product by the normal point rate and the designated product multiple for that product. Then, the number of points for each card member designated product is calculated. Specifically, in the case of ○○○ pon vinegar, quantity 2
Since the amount of money is 600 yen, when the normal point rate is applied, the number of points is 6, but this time, the designated product multiple is applied 5 times. 30 points. △△△ For canned cola, quantity 3
Since the amount of money is 345 yen, when the normal point rate is applied, the number of points is three. However, this time, the designated product multiple is applied three times. 9 points. In this example, it is assumed that the number of normal points is 22 points. Since the additional point magnification at the time of sale is twice, the number of additional points is 22 × 2 and the number of additional points is 44. Next, the points are calculated this time by adding the number of normal points, the number of additional points, and the number of points for each card member designated product. Further, the total points read from the card C are added to the calculated current points to calculate new total points. The above POS
In the terminal device 1, operations such as calculation of consumption tax and other necessary calculations are performed.

The new total points are updated and recorded on the card C, preferably together with the update date.

Finally, by operating the enter key or the total key of the key input device, a receipt 10 on which substantially all of the above data is printed is issued.

Next, in the above case, the receipt 10 issued from the printer 9 of the POS terminal 1 is used.

Further, in the above examples, the case where the point progressive system is applied has been described, but it is not necessary to apply the point progressive system. In that case, at the time of the sale, instead of adding the point rate, n
It may be doubled.

For a customer who is not a card member,
In the above-mentioned privilege display column 20 and designated product point display column 32,
A message such as "In the case of a card member, points will be multiplied by five" may be described to help recruit members.

In the above example, the receipt entry column, the point display column, the total purchase amount display column, and the message column are described on the same sheet (sheet), but the receipt entry column, The point display column, the total purchase amount display column, and the message column may be displayed on separate sheets. Also in this case, it is preferable that the two sheets (receipt and point display sheet) are continuously issued from the POS terminal.

According to the present invention described above, the accumulated point rate system for card members can be strongly appealed, and the purchase motivation can be strongly stimulated. In addition, by applying the progressive point rate, it is possible to differentiate the conventional point service from the conventional point service, increase customer attraction, and fix the customer. In particular, since the progress of the point rate is a merit for the customer due to the total purchase amount, it is possible to exert a great force in fixing the customer.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to strongly appeal to card members a number of points for a designated product, which is several times the number of points, and to appeal the name of the manufacturer at that time. There are various advantages such as easy motivation.
