It is a schematic explanatory diagram, and the screen example of (b) is a schematic explanatory diagram showing a trailing screen operation key displayed on a trailing screen displayed on a trailing screen.

In the present embodiment, when the "preceding screen operation key" of the preceding screen, which is the input screen of FIG. 3A displayed on the touch panel 4, is displayed, the clerk (or customer) of the store or the like displays the preceding screen. When the operation key "code input" is selected and the bar code of the product or service is input, the screen of the touch panel 4 transitions to, for example, the trailing screen which is the input screen of FIG. 3 (b).

Then, at this time, the "related operation key display unit (program) 101" of FIG. 2 operates, and only the trailing screen operation keys related to the selected "code input" are displayed on the touch panel 4.
Specifically, it is "call", "fuyasu", "cancellation", "surcharge", "discount", "hold", "price increase", "discount", "code input", "subtotal", etc. in FIG. 3 (b).

In addition, the following screen operation keys are divided into a plurality of groups (for example, "amount", "quantity", "plus", "minus", "attention to operation", etc.) in which the assigned information is collected for each higher-level concept. This group has a display mode that can be distinguished from other groups.
For example, colors, sizes, fonts, etc. are set differently for each group.

The settings for different colors, sizes, fonts, etc. for each group are specifically as follows, and FIG. 2 is stored in the "display mode storage unit 102".
A) Operation keys related to the amount of money, for example, "extra", "price increase", "discount", "discount", etc.) are displayed in "bold".
B) Operation keys related to quantity, such as "Kake", "Fuyasu", and "Herasu", are displayed in "oblique characters".
C) The operation keys to be added, such as "Kake", "Fuyasu", "Additional charge", and "Price increase", are displayed in "light blue (diagonal hatching in FIG. 3B)".

F) The operation keys that are likely to be operated on the trailing screen are large in size and displayed larger than the other operation keys. For example, the operation key of "subtotal" is an operation of multiple areas (for example, two). Display with the key.

Since it is stored in this way, in the present embodiment, the "operation key display mode processing unit (program) 103" operates, and the "display mode storage unit 102" is referred to, and the "call" and "fuyasu" are performed. Since the operation keys correspond to "amount", "quantity", and "plus", they are displayed on the "touch panel 4" in "bold", "oblique", and "diagonal hatching" as shown in FIG. 3 (b).
Further, since the operation key of "amount" corresponds to "plus" for "surcharge" and "price increase", they are displayed on the touch panel 4 in "bold" and "diagonal hatching" as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

Further, since "herasu" corresponds to "amount", "quantity", and "minus", it is displayed in "bold", "oblique", and "vertical hatching" as shown in FIG. 3 (b).
Further, since the operation keys of "discount" and "discount" correspond to "amount" and "minus", they are displayed in "bold" and "vertical line hatching" as shown in FIG. 3 (b).
Since the operation key of "Cancel" corresponds to "Caution for operation", it is displayed by "horizontal line hatching" as shown in FIG. 3 (b).
Further, since the operation key of the "subtotal" is a trailing screen operation key that is highly likely to be operated on the trailing screen, it is displayed in twice the size of the other operating keys as shown in FIG. 3 (b). do.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the group is divided according to the difference in the concept of the amount of money, the quantity, etc., and the font is displayed separately. Therefore, the operator (clerk, etc.) of the POS device 1 is the operation that he / she is looking for. It is easy to find the key, and therefore it is possible to prevent an input error (operation error) such as pressing an operation key by mistake.
Further, in the present embodiment, the size of the trailing screen operation key, which is highly likely to be operated on the trailing screen, is increased, for example, doubled, so that the operator can easily operate the trailing screen.

(About blinking operation keys, etc.)
In the present embodiment, the preceding screen of the POS device is based on the operation history information of the operation key of the touch panel 4 of the POS device 1 of the store clerk, for example, the operator in the store, which is the providing place where the POS device 1 is arranged. From the preceding screen operation key (for example, "subtotal") in, among the following screen operation keys of the following screen, the operation key with high operation possibility (for example, "cash" is the first candidate depending on the store, and "discount". Is the second candidate), and a display mode (for example, blinking) different from that of other operation keys on the following screen is displayed.

That is, when the operator presses (inputs) the trailing screen operation key of the "subtotal" on the preceding screen of the POS device 1, the POS device 1 operates as follows.

FIG. 4 is a schematic explanatory view showing a screen example such as blinking of an operation key of the POS device 1 according to the present embodiment.
Specifically, when a clerk inputs, for example, a "subtotal", which is a preceding screen operation key of the preceding screen of FIG. 4A, the "blinking processing unit (program) 104" of FIG. 2 of the POS device 1 operates. Then, referring to the "operation history storage unit 105" of FIG. 2, which records the operation history of the POS device 1 of the store clerk who is the operator, the operation keys input immediately after the input of the "subtotal" operation key are acquired in order of frequency. do. Then, the operation keys such as the first candidate (for example, cash) and the second candidate (for example, discount) are specified.

Then, on the trailing screen of FIG. 4B, the operation key of the first candidate "cash" is first "blinked", and then the second candidate "discount" is blinked.

As a result, the clerk who is the operator can guide the input of the operation key, and the input error can be avoided.

In the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above example, and the preceding screen operation key to be input may be displayed by "blinking" on the preceding screen of FIG. 4A.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the POS device 1 has, for example, a clock 6 which is a time information generation unit, and for example, time zone information for "payment" and time zone for "inspection". It has the "time zone information storage unit 106" of FIG. 2 for storing information.

Here, "payment" means, for example, totaling the sales amount for one day, and "inspection" means totaling the sales amount, etc. in the middle of the process, which does not reach one day. ..

Then, the "second blinking processing unit (program) 107" of FIG. 2 of the POS device 1 operates, refers to the time information of the "clock 6" and the "time zone information storage unit 106", and the current time is "settled". "Or" inspection "to determine whether or not it corresponds.
Then, if any of the above is applicable, the configuration may be such that "payment" or "inspection" is set as the first candidate and "blinks".

As a result, it is possible to make the store clerk or the like remember to perform the settlement and inspection operations.

"Settlement,""Deposit,""Withdrawal,""Exchange," etc.) are not displayed.

Specifically, when the operation key of "code input" is operated in FIG. 4A, the "operation key non-display processing unit (program) 108" in FIG. 2 operates, and the "operation key non-display storage" in FIG. 2 is stored. As shown in FIG. 4B with reference to "Part 109", the operation keys for "inspection", "payment", "payment", "withdrawal", and "exchange" are not displayed.

Here, it is stored in the "operation key non-display storage unit 109" that the operation keys of "inspection", "payment", "payment", "withdrawal", and "exchange" are not displayed after the code is input.
These operation keys are operation keys that do not require input (processing).

Further, when it is necessary to operate the operation key of "Batch cancellation" on the subsequent screen, it is limited to the case where "code input" or the like of a plurality of products is performed on the preceding screen.
This is because if you enter a code for a single product or service on the preceding screen, you only need to use the "Cancel" operation key to cancel, and you do not need the "Batch Cancel" operation key to cancel the input of multiple products. Because.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the "batch cancellation / non-display processing unit (program) 110" of FIG. 2 operates and the "code input" of a single product or the like is performed on the preceding screen, the subsequent operation is performed. The configuration is such that the subsequent screen operation key of "Batch Cancel" is not displayed on the screen.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since the operation keys that do not need to be operated are not displayed on the subsequent screen, the possibility that the clerk or the like makes an erroneous input can be further reduced.

(About changing the position of operation keys, etc.)

Specifically, the "display position changing unit (program) 111" of FIG. 2 operates, and the preceding screen operation key "cancel" shown on the preceding screen of FIG. 5A and the following screen of (b) are shown. When the information of the subsequent screen operation key "Cancel" is the same, the position of the "Cancel" operation key is changed to a different position between the preceding screen and the following screen.

Therefore, even if a clerk or the like repeatedly hits the "cancel" operation key, it is possible to prevent erroneous input.

(About weight operation keys)
In the present embodiment, when the position of the preceding screen operation key (for example, "subtotal") of the specific preceding screen changes to the following screen, the input is stopped for a certain period of time (for example, 0.5 seconds) (for example, 0.5 seconds). It becomes a weight state), and then becomes a trailing screen operation key (for example, "cash") that can be input.

FIG. 6 is a schematic explanatory view showing a screen example of changing the position of the operation key of the POS device 1 according to the present embodiment.
Specifically, the "weight processing unit (program) 112" in FIG. 2 operates, the preceding screen operation key "subtotal" is displayed on the preceding screen in FIG. 6 (a), and after the next figure (c). When the "cash" trailing screen operation key is displayed in the same place on the row screen, a "subtotal" is displayed for a certain period of time (for example, 0.5 seconds, etc.) during the transition, as shown in FIG. 6 (b). The input of the operation key of the place where the operation key of "cash" is displayed is stopped, and the input is disabled.
Specifically, the operation keys for which the information names are not displayed are displayed as shown in FIG. 6 (b) on the operation keys at the arrangement location where the operation keys for "subtotal" and "cash" are displayed.

With this configuration, even if a store clerk or the like presses (repeatedly hit) an operation key at the same location on the touch panel 4 of the POS device 1 twice, it is possible to prevent erroneous input.
That is, in order to prevent an operation error of the operation key and to prevent an erroneous operation by pressing the key twice at the same arrangement position, a time during which the operation cannot be performed for a certain period of time is provided and the key operation is not accepted.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the "subtotal key" is pressed, the display changes, and as shown in FIG. 6 (c), when the "cash key" is displayed at the same arrangement position, At this time, "cash" is input by pressing the same key twice, and in the case of credit or the like, an operation error occurs.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the "subtotal key" is pressed, only the key is "inoperable" for a certain period of time, and an operation error due to pressing the same key twice can be prevented. There is.

(About key focus)
