Is “0”, and “1” is displayed if no bar code is printed. In “2”, “0” is set when the sales promotion receipt is issued only once, and “1” is set when the sales receipt is issued a predetermined plural times.

  The setting of the closing key status table T1, the sales promotion condition table T2, and the sales promotion receipt message table T3 described above, for example, in store closing / opening operations, is performed by the store computer 3 according to the store operating schedule. 2 to be performed.

  7 to 9 are diagrams showing setting examples of the closing key status table T1, the sales promotion condition table T2, and the sales promotion receipt message table T3 described with reference to FIGS. As a setting example, the sales period is from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, the effective closing media is a credit card, the achievement amount is 10,000 yen or more, and the content of the sales promotion activities is a discount ticket of 100 yen Will be described in the case of barcode printing on the receipt.

  As shown in the setting example of the closing key status table T1a shown in FIG. 7, the closing ID code is “19” (the code corresponding to the key of the keys on the keyboard 11 that is set to perform the closing process by credit settlement). ), “Credit” as the key name, “1” indicating presence / absence of sales promotion, sales promotion condition table NO. Is set to “1”.

  As shown in the setting example of the sales promotion condition table T2a shown in FIG. 8, the sales promotion receipt message table is “1”, the classification is “2”, and the value is 100 yen. Therefore, “100”, “1” indicating that there is a period, “2005/1/1 10:00” in the period FROM, “2005/12/31 12:59” in the period END, “1” indicating that there is a standard in the presence / absence of the money amount standard, and “¥ 10,000” are set in the achievement amount (or more).

  As shown in the setting example of the sales promotion receipt message table T3a shown in FIG. Is “1” (the code set in the sales promotion condition table T2 shown in FIG. 8). In messages 1 to 7, payment is made to the customer who is a credit member using a credit card. Therefore, a message indicating that a discount ticket of 100 yen has been issued, “0” is set for status 1 for barcode printing, and “0” is set for status 2 because it is issued only once. ing.

  Next, processing executed by the CPU 21 when issuing a receipt and a sales promotion receipt at the time of sale of a product at the POS terminal 2 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a main part of processing executed by the CPU 21 when registering a product and printing and issuing a receipt and a sales promotion receipt. This process is started when data is scanned from the scanner 18 while the mode switch 12 is in the registration mode.

  The CPU 21 accepts registration of sales merchandise (ST11, merchandise sales data processing means). That is, the CPU 21 stores the merchandise sales data scanned by the scanner 18 in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Then, the CPU 21 determines whether or not an input of any of the tightening keys is received from the tightening keys set as keys for performing the tightening process (ST12, tightening media specifying means).

  If it is not determined that the input of the closing key has been accepted (ST12, NO), the CPU 21 accepts registration of the sales commodity. On the other hand, if it is determined that the input of the closing key has been received (ST12, YES), the CPU 21 processes receipt print data for printing on the receipt data relating to the product registered as the sale product (ST13). Then, the CPU 21 controls the printer controller 30 to issue a receipt printed with a store logo, the current time, products sold, prices, etc. from the receipt issuing port 16 (ST14).

  Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the tightening key used as the tightening process is an object of sales promotion (ST15). Specifically, the CPU 21 refers to the lock key status table T1 of the code that matches the code of the lock key, and determines whether or not the item “no sale / with sale” in the table is “1”. For example, when a credit key for settlement with a credit card on the keyboard 11 is input, the lock key status table T1a shown in FIG. 7 in which the code of the lock key status table T1 is “19” is referred to. Furthermore, since the item of “no sale / no sale” is “1”, it is determined that the item is targeted for sales promotion. This process may be performed simultaneously with the process of issuing the receipt.

  If it is determined that the closing key is a key for sales promotion (ST15, YES), the CPU 21 determines whether it is within the sales promotion period of the sales promotion activity (ST16). Specifically, the CPU 21 determines the sales promotion condition table NO. Of the closing key status table T1 referred to in step ST15. Referring to the sales promotion condition table T2 of the number set in the item, the current time acquired from the clock unit 24 is the date and time set in the period FROM of the table T2 and the date and time set in the period END. It is determined whether it is between. For example, when the closing key status table T1 shown in FIG. Is set to “1”, the sales promotion condition table T2a shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, and the current time is set to the period END on January 1, 2005, which is set to the period FROM. It is determined whether or not it is between 23:59 on December 31, 2005.

  If it is determined that it is within the sales promotion period (ST16, YES), the CPU 21 determines whether or not there is an amount basis in the sales promotion condition table T2 referred to in step ST16 (ST17). Specifically, the CPU 21 determines that there is an amount reference if “1” is set in the item of presence / absence of amount reference in the referenced sales promotion condition table T2, and there is no amount reference if “0” is set ( It is judged that there is no amount standard). For example, when the sales promotion condition table T2a shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, since “1” is set in the item of whether or not the amount is based, it is determined that the amount is based.

  If it is determined that there is an amount reference (ST17, YES), the CPU 21 determines whether or not the amount of the sales product closed by the input of the closing key is equal to or greater than the amount achieved (ST18). Specifically, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the total price of the sales products accepted for registration in step ST11 is greater than or equal to the price set in the achieved price (or higher) item of the sales promotion condition table T2 referenced in step ST16. to decide. For example, when the sales promotion condition table T2a shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, since the achievement amount (above) item is set to 10,000 yen, the total amount of the sales product is 10,000 yen or more. It is determined whether or not. Note that the above-mentioned steps ST15 to ST18 constitute a judging means.

  When it is determined that there is no amount standard (ST17, NO), or when it is determined that the amount is equal to or greater than the achieved amount (ST18, YES), the CPU 21 processes the sales promotion receipt print data when the sales promotion condition is met (ST19). ). Specifically, the CPU 21 refers to the sales promotion receipt message table T3 having a code that matches the code set in the code item of the sales promotion condition table T2 referred to in step ST16, and stores the sales promotion receipt message table T3. Based on the settings, print data is processed. For example, when the sales promotion receipt message table T3a corresponding to “1” set in the code item of the sales promotion condition table T2a shown in FIG. 8 is referred to, the credit card member is notified to the credit card member. A process for printing a bar code indicating a discount ticket of 100 yen on a receipt and issuing it once is performed together with a message indicating that a discount ticket of 100 yen has been issued due to settlement using Is called.

  When the sales promotion receipt print data to be printed on the receipt is thus processed, the CPU 21 issues a sales promotion receipt (ST20, sales promotion receipt issuing means). That is, the CPU 21 controls the printer controller 30 to print the sales promotion receipt print data on the receipt, and issues the sales promotion receipt printed with this data from the receipt issuing port 16.

  Next, the operation of the POS terminal 2 configured as described above will be described. A case where a customer purchases a winter sweater of 10,500 yen as a product by paying with a credit card on April 1, 2005 will be described. Further, in the RAM 23 of the POS terminal 2, the closing key status table T1, the sales promotion condition table T2, and the sales promotion receipt message table T3 described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9 are set corresponding to the credit card closing key. Suppose that it is done.

  The cashier who has received the product from the customer uses the scanner 18 of the POS terminal 2 to read the barcode of the tag attached to the product. Thereby, product information such as the price of the product is registered in the POS terminal 2. The merchandise information can be confirmed on the display unit 13B for the cashier and on the display 14 for the customer.

  When the customer informs the cashier that the product is to be paid with a credit card, the cashier receives the credit card and causes the card reader 19 to read the credit card. The POS terminal 2 makes an inquiry to the server 4 via the store computer 3 for predetermined data read from the credit card, and confirms whether payment is possible. If payment can be made, the cashier presses the lock key on the keyboard 11 assigned for payment by credit card.

  As a result, the POS terminal 2 executes a process for paying for the merchandise with the credit card. A receipt printed with a store logo, sales time, sales product, price, and the like is issued from the receipt issuing port. One is for a credit card company, one is for a store, and the last is a customer copy. FIG. 11 is a view showing a receipt for a customer. The receipt prints the purchase of a 10,500 yen winter sweater.

  Further, when a closing key is input, the setting “1” of the item “no sales promotion / non-promotion” of the closing key status table T1a shown in FIG. 7 corresponding to the closing key is referred to, and subsequently, the sales promotion condition table NO. Based on the item setting “1”, the sales promotion condition table T2a shown in FIG. 8 is referred to. In the sales promotion condition table T2a, the period subject to sales promotion is from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, and the case where a total of 10,000 yen or more is purchased. It is set as a condition that it is subject to sales promotion activities. Customer credit card payments meet this requirement and are therefore subject to sales promotion activities. Accordingly, the sales promotion receipt message table T3a shown in FIG. 9 set in the sales promotion condition table T2a is referred to, and the sales promotion receipt on which the contents are printed is issued from the receipt issuing port 16 following the above-mentioned receipt. . The cashier gives this promotional receipt to the customer.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of this sales promotion receipt. A bar code or the like on which data indicating a 100 yen discount ticket is printed is printed together with a content indicating that it is a 100 yen discount ticket issued to a customer using a credit card. The customer can receive a discount of 100 yen by using this discount ticket at the next shopping.

  If the above conditions are not met, for example, if the total price of the product is 9,500 yen, a sales promotion receipt is not issued. That is, the sales promotion receipt is less than the achieved amount when “1” indicating that there is a sales promotion is not set in the item of “no sales promotion” / “with” in the closing key status table T1, or when it is out of the sales promotion period. In case it is not issued.

  According to the POS terminal 2 of this embodiment, it is set in advance whether or not the closing key corresponding to the sales promotion activity is set in the closing key corresponding to the closing medium used for settlement, and corresponds to the closing key. When looking at the sales promotion conditions and sales promotion conditions set in the sales promotion condition table T2, a message indicating the contents of the sales promotion activities set in advance, and a discount ticket if necessary Since the sales promotion receipt printed with the barcode or the like can be issued, the sales promotion activity can be performed according to the closing media used by the customer when purchasing the product.

  That is, sales promotion activities can be performed according to various fastening media such as cash, debit cards, credit cards, prepaid cards, electronic money stored in mobile terminal devices and IC cards, coupon tickets, etc. If the media is set to preferential conditions, it can be used as a means of enclosing the customer in the fastening media.

  Moreover, since the period of the sales promotion activity can be freely set by changing the setting of the period FROM and the period END of the sales promotion condition table T2, the sales promotion activity for a short period according to the closing media is possible. (Campaign) can also be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the customer pays for the product using only the credit card has been described. However, the case where the customer pays for the product using a plurality of fastening media is also conceivable. In this case, the CPU 21 determines whether or not to issue a sales promotion receipt according to each closing key. For example, when purchasing a product of 20,000 yen, when paying with a credit card and cash and two closing media, when paying 10,000 yen with a credit card and 100,000 million yen with cash Since the credit card satisfies the sales promotion condition shown in FIG. 8 (the sales promotion period shall be satisfied), a sales promotion receipt is issued, and a cash promotion of 10,000 yen is set in advance. When the sales promotion condition is satisfied, a sales promotion receipt set for the condition is issued. That is, in this case, two sales promotion receipts are issued from the POS terminal 2. As described above, even when payment is made using two or more fastening media, the sales promotion condition table T2 is referred to for each fastening media, and a sales promotion receipt is issued if the conditions are satisfied.

  FIGS. 13 to 15 are diagrams showing examples of sales promotion receipts. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a sales promotion receipt when a sales promotion activity for presenting a crude product is performed when a credit card is used. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a sales promotion receipt when a sales promotion activity is performed in which a lottery ticket for a lottery is presented when a credit card is used. Further, FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a sales promotion receipt in a case where a sales promotion activity for issuing a fortune is performed when a credit card is used. These sales promotion receipts are issued from the POS terminal 2 when the credit card is used and the conditions of the sales promotion period and achievement amount set in the sales promotion condition table T2 are satisfied, and are delivered to the customer from the cashier. . In this way, the contents relating to the sales promotion activities can be set freely.
