A sales data processing system according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
- Overall configuration of sales data processing system -
As shown in FIG. 1, the sales data processing system 1 of one embodiment includes a host device 10 having storage means for storing a product master 110, a store master 120, a member master 130, a shopping file 140, and the like; is provided with a mobile terminal 20 connected via the Internet or the like.

The host device 10 uses a cloud server, for example, and cooperates with a store controller (management device) 60 that constructs a store product sales system 6 via the Internet or the like. is updated based on each piece of information of the store controller 60, for example, at predetermined time intervals.

As the mobile terminal 20, for example, a smart phone personally owned by the customer is used. The mobile terminal 20 includes a camera (input unit) 260 for capturing an image, a display unit (display input unit) 250 such as a touch panel, and the like. Note that the mobile terminal 20 may be a dedicated mobile terminal for store lending.
A mobile terminal (smartphone) 20 has a function of a registration device that executes registration processing of products to be purchased when shopping at a store by installing a dedicated application.

The mobile terminal 20 can appropriately exchange information with the merchandise master 110, the store master 120, the shopping file 140, etc. stored in the host device 10. FIG. Further, information can be appropriately exchanged with a settlement device such as the POS terminal 70 or the like.

The merchandise sales system 6 of the store includes a store controller 60 and a plurality of POS terminals (registration and settlement devices) 70. The POS terminals 70 can perform registration and settlement of merchandise purchased by customers.

The store controller 60 is an information processing device that manages the entire merchandise sales system 6 of the store, manages the POS terminal 70 and the like, and also manages various information such as merchandise masters and member masters.
The store controller 60 acquires and stores a product master reflecting the latest product information from an external source (for example, a server at the head office or a removable storage medium).
The product master stores product information such as product name (product name, item name), sales price, and discount information in association with product identification information (for example, JAN code) assigned to each product. file.
Note that the product master may store caution-calling information indicating that the product is a product that requires confirmation by a store clerk at the time of sale, such as second-class pharmaceuticals or alcoholic beverages.

The POS terminal 70 is a device for performing registration processing and settlement processing for products purchased by customers. It has a display unit 750 such as a touch panel for displaying read product information and the like, and a printing unit 770 for printing receipts and the like.
The POS terminal 70 can request registration information and the like from the host device 10 as necessary, such as when shopping identification information is input from the mobile terminal 20 .

An example of the POS terminal 70 is a POS terminal dedicated to settlement. In this embodiment, the customer registers the product at the store using the smartphone (portable terminal) 20 owned by the customer, and performs the payment processing using the POS terminal dedicated to payment, thereby completing the transaction of the product without the intervention of a store clerk. It can be carried out.

Note that the POS terminal 70 is not limited to a POS terminal dedicated to checkout, and may be a semi-self-type POS in which a store clerk registers products purchased by a customer and the customer pays the checkout by himself/herself. good. In the case of semi-self-type POS, the registration device that performs registration processing and the settlement device are separated, and the registration information registered by the registration device is output to the settlement device, and the customer himself/herself performs the settlement processing at the settlement device. Alternatively, it may be a face-to-face POS having a screen for performing registration processing for sales clerks, a screen for performing settlement processing for customers, and a cash processing unit.
Also, the POS terminal 70 may be a POS of a system (full-self system) in which a customer performs registration processing and settlement processing of products that the customer himself/herself purchases, that is, does not require the intervention of a store clerk.

In addition, the POS terminal 70 can be switched according to the congestion situation, store staff situation, etc., to be any of the semi-self-type POS where the customer performs the settlement process himself, the face-to-face semi-self-type POS, and the full-self-type POS. It may be a switching POS that can switch to
An example of a switchable POS terminal 70 is shown in FIG. The example of the POS terminal 70 shown in FIG. 2 includes a table 70a.
Further, it may be a normal POS cash register where a store clerk performs registration processing and settlement processing of products purchased by a customer, and is not limited at all as long as it can perform settlement processing.

Then, the sales data processing system 1 of the present embodiment can be retrofitted (add-on) to, for example, the merchandise sales system 6 of a store equipped with a store controller 60 and a plurality of POS terminals 70, so that customers can use smartphones owned by customers in the store. It is possible to build a sales data processing system that allows product registration.

The outline of the overall configuration of the sales data processing system according to the present embodiment has been described above.
In general, when a customer purchases an item in a store, the customer brings the item to the cash register, and the store clerk inputs the price of each item at the cash register, thereby summing up the prices of all the items. to determine the selling price in one transaction.
In determining the selling price, the store attempts to acquire customers by applying various discounts to lower the selling price.

FIG. 4 shows a system employed in a supermarket or the like that has multiple stores.
Usually, in a system such as a supermarket, a headquarters system (server) 50 is installed to manage all stores in an integrated manner. It manages a plan master, a bargain sale plan master for each store, a member master, and so on.

Each store is provided with a POS terminal 70 and a store controller 60 that manages the POS terminal 70 to construct a POS system.
The store controller 60 of each store receives from the headquarters system 50 a common product master, a store master, a product master for each store, a common bargain sale plan master, and a bargain sale plan master for each store. to (register). The member master may be received from the head office system 50 in the same manner as other masters, but may not be held by the store controller and may be inquired of the head office system each time member information is inquired.

Each store's POS system has its own selling price determination logic.
The selling price determination logic has some logic for calculating the selling price of the product that the shopper purchases, and when calculating the selling price of the product, which logic is applied to determine the selling price Includes functions to determine or judge.
For example, if a certain product is a product that is subject to a single item discount, but is also a product that is subject to a set-match discount, a set-match discount, which is a lower price, is applied. Which discount logic to select is determined by the settings.

Here, several selling price determination logics for determining the selling price of a product will be illustrated and explained.
First, let the standard selling price determination logic be the selling price determination logic (basic). In addition, the sales price determination logic unique to each company or store is defined as the sales price determination logic (company/store).
The sales price determination logic (basic) has functions such as subtotal (total amount calculation), subtotal discount/discount, single item discount/discount, bundle/mix match discount, and set match discount.

Selling price determination logic (companies/stores) includes, for example, the above subtotal (calculation of total amount), subtotal discount/discount, single item discount/discount, bundle/mix match discount, set match discount, as well as Equipped with discounts and discounts through special services and discounts and discounts for each payment type used for payment. In addition, the sales price determination logic (companies/stores) has its own functions, such as which condition is prioritized when multiple discount/discount conditions compete at the same time.
The sales price determination logic (companies/stores) also has its own logic for subtotals (total amount calculation), subtotal discounts/discounts, single item discounts/discounts, bundle/mix match discounts, and set match discounts. You may prepare.

The logic included in the selling price determination logic will be explained with reference to Fig. 3(a). to calculate the total amount.
The subtotal discount (logic B) is a process of discounting the subtotal amount (total amount) by a predetermined amount or by a predetermined percentage.
A single product discount (logic C) is a process of applying a special discount or discount to a specific single product.

Bundle mix-match discount (logic D) is a process of discounting or discounting by collectively purchasing several products from a specific product group or the like.
Set match discount (Logic E) is a process of discounting or discounting by purchasing a combination of specific products.

Payment type discount (logic F) is a process of discounting or discounting according to the payment type used by the member at the time of payment.
Member-type discount (logic G) is a process of discounting or discounting a specific product or subtotal amount by being a member.
The lowest price calculation logic (logic H) determines which discount can be applied to calculate the lowest price when a product meets multiple discount conditions (multiple logics can be applied). This is the process of making a judgment.

In each store, according to the measures required by the store operator such as a company, several logics of the above logics A to H are combined to set the selling price determination logic in the store, and the selling price is determined. .
In addition to the above logic, the logic for determining the selling price determination logic can be appropriately set by the store operator (for example, setting which one to select when multiple discounts overlap). Alternatively, logic other than logic H may be provided.

Next, an introduction model of the sales data processing system of this embodiment will be described.
- An example of introducing a new sales data processing system with price determination logic (basic) -
Fig. 5 shows an outline of a model for introducing a sales data processing system having selling price determination logic (basic) independently of the existing selling price determination logic when opening a new store.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the host device 10 is configured by a store controller of a store, and the portable terminal 20 is configured to directly communicate with the store controller, which is the host device 10 .
The product master 110 and store master 120 stored in the host device 10 may be constructed by directly inputting product information and store information using a Web browser or the like.

In this example, since the sales decision logic adopted in the new store is set in the store controller 10, the sales data processing system can be constructed smoothly.
An example of the flow of processing in this example will be briefly described below. The numbers in parentheses in the description indicate the processing in FIG.

In this example, (1) a member carrying the mobile terminal 20 activates an application of the mobile terminal 20, and the application acquires GPS information and the like of the mobile terminal 20, and sends the acquired position information to the host device 10. Send to Note that means for acquiring position information is not limited to GPS.

(2) Upon receiving the location information (or information for identifying the store) from the mobile terminal 20, the host device 10 determines the location of the mobile terminal 20 based on the received location information and the information stored in the store master 120. Store information of one store or a plurality of stores closest to the position is transmitted to the portable terminal 20.例文帳に追加

If the location information of the mobile terminal 20 cannot be obtained, the application prompts the mobile terminal 20 to read the QR code (registered trademark) provided at the entrance of the store on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20. may be displayed.
When the customer reads the QR code (registered trademark) with the mobile terminal 20 , the application may transmit information for identifying the shop converted into the QR code (registered trademark) to the host device 10 .

When transmitting the store information to the portable terminal 20, the host device 10 may also transmit customer information (the number of acquired points, membership rank, etc.).
Furthermore, the host device 10 stores bargain sale information (store name, bargain sale information held at the store, leaflet information on which the store information is posted, etc.) used by the member, etc., together with the portable terminal 20. may be sent to

The mobile terminal 20 that has received the store information displays the received store information on the display unit 250 . Alternatively, the mobile terminal 20 displays the received plural store information on the display unit 250 in a selectable manner.
When the member confirms and selects a plurality of stores displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 specifies the store to shop.
By specifying the store, the host device 10 associates the product master of the specified store with the mobile terminal 20 and generates a shopping file (basket data).

(3) When the member reads the symbol code information of the product to be purchased at the specified store with the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the read symbol code information (product identification information) to the host device 10. The product identification information is not limited at all as long as it can identify the product and can be acquired as an image, such as bar code, object recognition based on the feature amount of the image, or character recognition.

(4) Upon receiving the product identification information, the host device 10 extracts product information from the product master 110 based on the received product identification information, and transmits the extracted product information to the portable terminal 20 . The mobile terminal 20 receives the product information and registers it as a product to be purchased by the member.

(5) The mobile terminal 20 transmits the registered product information to the host device 10 as registered product information. The host device 10 stores the received registered product information in a shopping file (basket data).

(6) The host device 10 performs a subtotal calculation of the products purchased by the member according to the selling price determination logic for the registered product information stored in the shopping file.

(7) The high-level device 10 transmits to the mobile terminal 20 the total (approximate) price of the products calculated by the subtotal calculation.
As a result, the member can proceed with shopping while viewing the current total amount (approximate amount in some cases) while shopping.

(8) When the member finishes shopping, the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20 displays symbol code information such as a QR code (registered trademark) storing shopping identification information. Then, the member goes to the POS terminal 70 and causes the input section 760 of the POS terminal 70 to read the symbol code information displayed on the display section 250 of the portable terminal 20 .
Thereby, the mobile terminal 20 outputs the shopping identification information to the POS terminal 70 .

(9) The POS terminal 70 that has received the shopping identification information requests the host device 10 for shopping information (registered product information, etc.) linked to the shopping identification information.

(10) Upon receiving the shopping identification information from the POS terminal 70 , the higher-level device 10 extracts the calculated shopping information linked to the shopping identification information from the basket data and transmits it to the POS terminal 70 .

(11) The POS terminal 70 that has received the calculated shopping information displays a checkout screen based on the received shopping information. The member completes one transaction using the portable terminal 20 by making payment according to the settlement screen.
The flow of processing in this example has been described above.

Note that the POS terminal 70 may be configured to perform the subtotal calculation by the selling price determination logic. In this case, the host device 10 may transmit (10) uncalculated shopping information related to the shopping identification information to the POS terminal 70 in response to the (9) shopping information request from the POS terminal 70 . Furthermore, the mobile terminal 20 may be configured to perform the subtotal calculation by the selling price determination logic.

- Example of introducing a sales data processing system into an existing store (Part 1) -
This example is an example in which the existing store shown in FIG. 4 can be accounted for by the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system without using the store's sales price determination logic.
In this example, for example, a sales data processing system provided with selling price determination logic (basic) can be added to an existing store whose set selling price determination logic is the selling price determination logic (basic).

In the example shown in FIG. 6, a sales data processing system is provided by a cloud service to the existing store shown in FIG. 4, and the mobile terminal 20 communicates with the host device 10 arranged in the cloud service.

In this example, the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 of the sales data processing system is the same as the selling price determination logic (basic) set in the existing store. When determining the selling price based on the processed registered product information, it is sufficient to use the selling price determining logic (basic) of the added sales data processing system 1, and it is not necessary to use the selling price determining logic of the existing store.
The sales price determination logic set in the existing store and the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system are not limited to the sales price determination logic (basic).

In this example, the sales data processing system periodically sends product information (product master data, bargain sale plan master, etc.) and store information are transmitted via the Internet or the like. It is preferable that the product master and bargain sale plan master transmitted to the host device 10 only transmit information effective on the day.

In this example, the host device 10 provided by the cloud service acquires and stores product information (product master, bargain sale plan master, etc.) and store information, so that registration information registered by the mobile terminal 20 A sales data processing system can be constructed simply by adding a POS terminal 70 for performing settlement processing.

The sales data processing system periodically transmits the shopping information in the shopping file 140 placed in the credit service to the head office system 50 or the store controller 60 of the store via the Internet, or sends the shopping information to the store controller 60 via the in-store network. 60, the performance of transactions performed by the mobile terminal 20 may be stored.

The flow of processing in this example is similar to that shown in FIG. Since it is the same as the newly installed sales data processing system shown in FIG.

In the example shown in FIG. 6 as well, the subtotal calculation by the selling price determination logic may be executable by an application of the POS terminal 70 or the mobile terminal 20. FIG.
Further, in this example, it is also possible to modify the application of the existing POS terminal (settlement apparatus) 70 without adding a new POS terminal 70 .

- Example of introducing a sales data processing system into an existing store (Part 2) -
In this example shown in FIG. 7, for example, the sales price of the existing store shown in FIG. This is an example of performing accounting.
In this example, for example, the settlement amount is determined by the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store. The selling price determination logic (basic) provided by the sales data processing system can provide the mobile terminal with an approximate amount during shopping.

In this example, a sales data processing system is provided by a cloud service to the existing store shown in FIG. 4, and the mobile terminal 20 communicates with the host device 10 arranged in the cloud service.
In addition, the existing settlement device (POS terminal) 70 can be modified to communicate with the host device 10 of the sales data processing system, and an application compatible with QR code (registered trademark) reading of the mobile terminal 20 can be introduced. Thus, a sales data processing system that supports product registration processing by the mobile terminal 20 can be constructed.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 does not correspond to the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store. It is not possible to display the exact total amount.
Therefore, the sales data processing system calculates the estimated price according to the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 and displays the estimated price on the display unit 250 of the portable terminal 20 . The customer can use the estimated amount displayed on the display unit 250 as a guideline for shopping.

The sales price determination logic set in the existing store and the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system are not limited to the sales price determination logic (company/store) and the sales price determination logic (basic).

The flow of processing in this example is different from the flow of processing shown in FIG. The difference is that the total amount sent in the transmission is an approximate amount.

The POS terminal 70 installed in the existing store is used as the POS terminal 70 for (8) shopping information output, (9) shopping information request, (10) calculated basket information transmission, and (11) accounting. Other than that, the system is the same as the newly installed sales data processing system shown in FIG. 5, so a detailed description of the processing flow is omitted.

- Example of introducing a sales data processing system into an existing store (Part 3) -
In the example shown in FIG. 8, for example, for the existing store shown in FIG. , the accounting is performed by a newly installed POS terminal 70 instead of the existing POS terminal.

According to this example, for example, even when a POS terminal different from the POS terminal 70 whose payment is confirmed by the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store is delivered, the POS terminal No need to modify the program.

This example is provided by a cloud service to the existing store shown in FIG. The mobile terminal 20 communicates with the host device 10 arranged in the cloud service.

In this example, the shopping information stored in the shopping file is transferred to the host system (cloud service) 10 to the subtotal service such as the headquarters system (server) or store controller, and the subtotal service calculates the data. By adding a function to update the information in the shopping file according to the results obtained, it is possible to construct a sales data processing system that supports product registration processing by the mobile terminal 20 . If necessary, a function for performing data conversion at the time of information transfer or the like is provided.

In this example shown in FIG. 8, the subtotal calculation is performed by the subtotal service of the existing store headquarters system or the like, so there is no need to determine the selling price by the selling price determination logic of the existing POS terminal 70, and the existing POS terminal 70 Accounting can be performed using the new POS terminal 70 even if there is no network connection with the POS terminal 70 or the like.
Data such as sales results can be managed by transmitting them to the headquarters system (server) 50, the store controller 60, and the host device (cloud service) 10, respectively.

In this example as well, the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 of the sales data processing system does not correspond to the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store. 20, the exact total amount cannot be displayed, but the approximate amount calculated by the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 can be displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20, and the shopping can be used as a guideline.

The sales price determination logic set in the existing store and the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system are not limited to the sales price determination logic (company/store) and the sales price determination logic (basic).

An example of the flow of processing in this example will be briefly described below. The numbers in parentheses in the description indicate the processing in FIG.
Since the steps (1) to (5) of the processing in the sales data processing system of this example are the same as the steps (1) to (5) shown in FIG. 5, the explanation thereof will be omitted.

(6) The host device 10 performs an approximate calculation based on the sales price determination logic (basic) for the registered product information stored in the shopping file, and (7) transmits the calculated approximate amount to the portable terminal 20 .
This allows the member to proceed with shopping while viewing the current approximate amount of money while shopping.

(8) When the member completes shopping and displays symbol code information such as a QR code (registered trademark) storing shopping identification information on the display unit 250, the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 reads the symbol code information. , the mobile terminal 20 outputs the shopping information to the POS terminal 70 .

(9) The POS terminal 70 that has entered the shopping identification information transmits the shopping identification information to the host device 10 and requests shopping information (registered product information, etc.) linked to the shopping identification information.

(10) Upon receiving the shopping identification information from the POS terminal 70, the host device 10 transfers the shopping information linked to the shopping identification information to the subtotal service such as the headquarters system 50.

(11) The headquarters system 50 that has received the shopping information calculates the total amount using the subtotal service, and transmits the calculated shopping information (subtotal information) to the host device 10 .

The host device 10 that has received the calculated shopping information (subtotal information) updates the shopping information stored in the shopping file with the calculated shopping information and transmits the calculated shopping information to the POS terminal 70. - 特許庁

(13) The POS terminal 70 that has received the calculated shopping information displays a checkout screen based on the received shopping information. The member completes one transaction using the portable terminal 20 by making payment according to the settlement screen.
The flow of processing in this example has been described above.

As described above, the form of the sales data processing system in the present invention is not limited at all. That is, a system consisting of a host device 10 and a portable terminal 20 that can later cooperate with a product sales system of a store, an overall system formed by linking the host device 10 and the portable terminal 20 to the product sales system of a store, The device 10 is composed of the store controller 60 of the product sales system of the store, and the mobile terminal 20 is directly linked to the store controller 60 or the POS terminal 70 in the store. can be a sales data processing system in the present invention.

In addition, in the following description, an embodiment in which product registration processing and the like are performed by the mobile terminal 20 will be described. This is just an example, and the portable terminal 20 may simply function as an interface for product registration processing, and other processing may be performed by a host system such as the host device 10 or the like. In other words, it is possible to appropriately set which device constituting the sales data processing system performs what kind of processing.

By accessing the shopping file 140 of the host device 10, the member can refer to all past shopping histories at the store.

The shopping file 140 may have a separate storage area for storing the currently registered shopping information and a storage area for storing the past history. You may make it add to the storage area which memorize|stores the past history.

The host device 10 also supplies the mobile terminal 20 with an application program (shopping application) that operates on the mobile terminal 20 . Note that the shopping application may be provided from a site on the Internet that provides applications for the mobile terminal 20 .

-Mobile terminal 20-
The mobile terminal 20 of the sales data processing system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 and screen display examples shown in FIGS. 12 to 15. FIG.
Note that the mobile terminal 20 will be described by exemplifying a smartphone in which a dedicated application supplied from the higher-level device 10 or the like is installed in a smart phone that is personally owned by a customer.

(Advance preparation)
In order to use the smartphone owned by the customer as the mobile terminal 20 capable of registering the store, the customer must register as a member (hereinafter referred to as "member") who can perform the registration process using the smartphone. I do.

When registering as a new member, the customer preferably registers information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. that can be used to verify the identity of the customer, and also registers credit card information.
Customers can complete the registration process either online or offline. For example, the customer may enter the necessary information on a registration form or tablet at the store, notify the registered e-mail address of the download URL, etc., and download a dedicated application to complete the registration procedure. After downloading and installing a dedicated application from the device 10, the member registration screen may be launched and the registration procedure may be performed. Also, the customer may perform the registration procedure from a site on the Internet that provides the application for the mobile terminal 20 .

If the customer is already a card member of the store, the customer may register as a member by additionally registering, for example, only credit card information in the member registration process.
Information to be registered is not limited to the above information. For example, if the store is a chain store, the customer may register information such as the store that is always used. By registering a store or the like, the customer can acquire information unique to the store by distribution.
The host device 10 stores the registered member information in the member master 130 .

The sales data processing system 1 of this embodiment can use the operation history information stored in the member master 130 outside the store. In other words, the sales data processing system 1 can use the member's operation level information determined by the operation history as a condition for displaying a confirmation screen by the clerk on the payment device at stores other than the store.

When multiple companies use the system of the host device 10, if the use is limited to the security aspect such as information on the member's operation level determined by the operation history, it can be used beyond the company group. Therefore, it is preferable to use it in multiple companies.
Note that the security level can be set by each company group and each store, and it is possible to freely set the rank setting of the member level and the operation level, the generation condition of the clerk's confirmation event, and the like. Further, the conditions may be stored on the settlement device side, received when the shopping file (basket data) is obtained, and the settlement device side may control the occurrence of the clerk's confirmation event.

(Store specific processing)
When the member activates the dedicated application of the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 executes processing for identifying the store in order to function as a registration device in the store (S201).

For example, the mobile terminal 20 may identify the store based on location information obtained from the GPS or the like of the mobile terminal 20 when the member activates a dedicated application of the mobile terminal 20 . Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the location information to the host device 10, and the host device 10 that has received the location information sends the information of the store closest to the location information to the mobile terminal 20 based on the store master 120. It is possible to specify the store where the shopping is done by transmitting the information.
If there are multiple applicable stores, the mobile terminal 20 may display a selection screen on the display unit 250 so that the member can select from among the multiple stores.

In addition, a QR code (registered trademark) containing the QR code (registered trademark) information stored in the shop master 120 is attached to the entrance of the shop, and the member sends the QR code (registered trademark) to the mobile terminal 20. By reading the .

The mobile terminal 20 may display, for example, "Please read the store's QR code (registered trademark)." Also, when a member enters the store, the mobile terminal 20 may identify the store using short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), and beacons in the store.

In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may display a selection screen for selecting a store on the display unit 250, and the member selects the store from the selection screen, thereby specifying the store selected by the member as the store for shopping. .
The means by which the mobile terminal 20 identifies the store is not limited at all.

By specifying the store, the host device 10 gives access permission to the product master of the store to the mobile terminal 20 and creates basket data (shopping file) linked to the mobile terminal 20 .

The mobile terminal 20 may notify information such as "bargain sale information", "related/alternative products", "new products", and "out of stock information" at the store when the member enters the store. If it is a holiday such as a regular holiday, the fact may be displayed on the display unit 250 . Further, when the store is closed, transition to the registration screen may be prohibited. We will prohibit registration through the app at a predetermined time before the store closes, and notify customers who have registered when the store will close. However, customers who are registered can continue shopping, and registration does not have to be prohibited even when the store closes. It is possible to continue as long as it is within the specified location of the store. It is also possible to make a notification prompting the payment in stages.

The mobile terminal 20 that has identified the store displays a start screen 800 for starting shopping on the display unit 250, as shown in FIG. 12(a).
On the start screen 800, member point information 800a, a key 800b linked to store information of the specified store, a key 800c linked to notices such as bargain information, and a key 800d linked to coupon information are arranged. In addition, a "start" key 800e for declaring the start of product registration in the store is arranged.

When the member operates the "start" key 800e on the start screen 800, the mobile terminal 20 displays the registration screen 810 as shown in FIG. 12(b).
Note that the mobile terminal 20 may immediately display the registration screen 810 without displaying the start screen 800 by specifying the store.

The registration screen 810 is divided into upper and lower areas, and the upper area of the registration screen 810 is set as a first display area 811 for displaying image data captured by the camera (input unit) 260 of the mobile terminal 20. It is
The mobile terminal 20 displays a display 811a prompting an operation such as "Please read the product barcode" in the first display area 811 of the registration screen 810, and indicates the reading range for recognizing the barcode (product identification information). The mark 811b is visibly displayed.

(Reading operation detection process and product information acquisition process)
The mobile terminal 20, which has identified the store and completed preparations for product registration, detects the member's operation to read the barcode attached to the product (S202). If yes), product identification information is acquired from the read barcode (code information) (S203).

For example, when a member takes out an item to be purchased from a display shelf and puts it in a shopping basket, the member takes an image of the item using the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, the member places the barcode attached to the product within the mark 811b displayed in the first display area 811 of the registration screen 810 and takes an image.

When the image contained in the mark 811b displayed in the first display area 811 is a barcode, the mobile terminal 20 automatically recognizes it and acquires product identification information (code information). .

If the mobile terminal 20 is equipped with a distance sensor or the like, it is possible to detect that the member has read the bar code or the like by detecting that the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 has been brought close to the article for a certain period of time. can.
When the mobile terminal 20 automatically recognizes barcodes repeatedly, even without a distance sensor or the like, the mobile terminal 20 can, for example, detect that the same image has been captured for a predetermined period of time. , the barcode reading operation by the member can be detected.

It should be noted that the portable terminal 20 executes timeout processing when the product identification information (code information) cannot be obtained even though it is detected that the same image has been captured for a predetermined period of time. Couldn't do it well. Would you like to buy it? (Yes/No)." The mobile terminal 20 may be configured to confirm the purchase.

The mobile terminal 20 may read a barcode or the like captured by operating the shutter while the application is running instead of automatically recognizing the barcode or the like. In this case, the portable terminal 20 can detect the barcode acquisition operation by the member by detecting that the shutter operation has been performed on the application screen.

The mobile terminal 20 may detect the reading operation of the barcode or the like by the member by monitoring the state such as inclination of the mobile terminal using a gyro sensor or the like. Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 may make a determination by combining the inclination and movement state of the mobile terminal 20 .

When the barcode (product identification information) cannot be acquired by imaging, the mobile terminal 20 may store the image of the product for which the product identification information could not be acquired as a pending product.
The member can place the product stored as the reserved product in the portable terminal 20 separately from the product whose product registration has been completed, and proceed with the registration processing of the next product. By leaving the image of the reserved product on the mobile terminal 20, it becomes easier to specify the product during the later checkout process, and it becomes easier for the store clerk to correct the registered product information.

Also, it is conceivable that the time-out process by the portable terminal 20 may not be executed. In that case, the customer needs to keep trying to register the product, which is inconvenient. The mobile terminal 20 may be configured so that it can be registered as a pending product instead of a normal product registration based on the member's operation.
Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 may display a "reserved product registration" key on the registration screen 810 or the like, for example. You may make it switch to.

The member releases the shutter at his/her own timing to capture an image of the package on the front of the product that could not be registered in the imaging mode, the barcode of the product, the price tag on the shelf, etc., and the portable terminal 20 captures the imaged product. It may be stored as a pending product. That is, it may be possible to switch to the manual imaging mode at the member's will.

It should be noted that the mobile terminal 20 may detect the barcode reading operation by any method, and the method is not particularly limited.

If the mobile terminal 20 cannot acquire the product identification information (code information) in step S203, it detects that the acquisition of the code information has failed. (no in S204).

For example, if the barcode attached to the product is damaged, or if the barcode is distorted due to the packaging of the product, the mobile terminal 20 reads part of the code information recorded in the barcode. Or there are cases where the entire product cannot be read (non-readable product).
Also, when the member takes an image of a part of the product that does not have a barcode, the mobile terminal 20 cannot acquire the code information.
In such a case, the portable terminal 20 cannot acquire the product identification information (code information) and cannot register the product.
In step S204, the portable terminal 20 detects a case where product identification information (code information) cannot be acquired and product registration cannot be performed because the barcode cannot be read.

When it is detected in step S204 that the product identification information (code information) has been acquired, the mobile terminal 20 determines whether or not the product identification information exists in the product master 110 (S205).

In step S205, if the acquired product identification information does not exist in the product master 110, the mobile terminal 20 determines that product information registration has failed, and proceeds to step S207 (no in S205).

For example, when the mobile terminal 20 transmits the acquired product identification information to the host device 10, but the acquired product identification information is for a product not stored in the product master (non-file product), If there is a connection problem, product information cannot be obtained from the host device 10, and the product cannot be registered.
In step S205, the portable terminal 20 detects a case where the product cannot be registered because the product of the acquired product identification information is a non-file product or the like.

If the product master is downloaded after specifying the store, the mobile terminal 20 determines whether or not the product information can be acquired only by the mobile terminal 20, further acquires the product information, and stores the product information. It is also possible to register the registered product information of Alternatively, the mobile terminal 20 may make a determination based on the product master stored in the store controller 60 or the POS terminal 70 .

If the portable terminal 20 automatically repeats bar code recognition all the time and does not have a function for detecting a reading operation such as a distance sensor, step S202 of detecting the member's reading operation is performed. And the determination step S204, that is, the detection process when the product cannot be registered due to the code information being unreadable may be omitted.

(Product registration processing, registered product cancellation processing)
In step S205, if the acquired product identification information exists in the product master and the product information linked to the product identification information can be acquired, the mobile terminal 20 registers the product as the registered product information of the product purchased by the customer. do. (Step S206)

Note that when the product identification information acquired by the mobile terminal 20 exists in the product master, the host device 10 stores the product information based on the acquired registered product information in the shopping file 140 .

(Display processing)
When the product is registered based on the acquired product information, the mobile terminal 20 displays a second display area 812 for displaying the registered product information and the current product information in the lower area of the registration screen 810, as shown in FIG. 13(a). A third display area 813 for displaying the registration status in 2 is displayed (S209).

The mobile terminal 20 displays product information 812a such as the product name, purchase quantity (manipulator) 812b, and product price 812c in the second display area 812, and displays the current registered points in the third display area 813. 813a, an approximate total 813b and a "checkout" key 813c for proceeding to checkout processing based on the registered information are displayed.

Also, the mobile terminal 20 displays the third display area 813 above the second display area 812 , that is, between the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 . This allows the member to smoothly see the change in the estimated total at the time of product registration.
As shown in FIG. 12(b), the mobile terminal 20 displays a third display area 813 displaying the registered score of 0 points and the approximate total of 0 yen prior to product registration. good too.

The mobile terminal 20 may arrange the third display area 813 independently of the first display area 811 and the second display area 812, but arranges the third display area 813 within the second display area 812. good too.
It is preferable that the portable terminal 20 displays the current exact total amount in the approximate total 813 b displayed in the third display area 813 . However, if a sales data processing system is installed in an existing store with complex price determination logic, the registered product information must be output to the existing POS terminal or the like (settlement device) 70. Since an accurate subtotal calculation cannot be performed by the price determination logic, the mobile terminal 20 displays an approximate total amount calculated by totaling the list price of each product in the third display area 813 of the mobile terminal 20. may

By displaying the third display area 813 on the registration screen 810 of the mobile terminal 20, the member can grasp the current number of items purchased and the approximate total while registering the items.
The mobile terminal 20 according to this embodiment displays a third display area 813 above the second display area 812 , that is, between the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 . This allows the member to smoothly see the change in the estimated total at the time of product registration.

The member can change the purchase quantity 812b of the product displayed in the second display area 812, or delete the registered product information of the product.
For example, when the member operates (touches) the purchase quantity 812b displayed in the second display area 812, the portable terminal 20 changes the quantity of the product as shown in FIG. 14(a). A change screen (popup) 820 is displayed.

On the quantity change screen 820, the number of products purchased at the present time and the price are displayed, as well as a "+" key 820a and a "-" key 820b for changing the number of products, and "cancel product" for deleting registered product registration information. A key 820c is placed.

If the purchase quantity 812b of a product that does not correspond to a change in quantity, such as when the product registered by the member is a limited quantity product such as a closeout product or an irregular product, the portable terminal 20 displays the As shown in b), a pop-up 821 without the "+" key 820a and "-" key 820b for changing the number of products may be displayed, and only deletion of products may be accepted.

When the member operates the "+" key 820a or the "-" key 820b on the quantity change screen 820 to change the quantity, etc. of the registered product information displayed on the registration screen 810, the mobile terminal 20 displays the registration screen. The purchase quantity 812b of the product displayed in 810 is changed.
The portable terminal 20 then outputs the changed registered product information to the host device 10, and the host device 10 updates the registered information stored in the shopping file 140 based on the entered registered product information.

When the member deletes the registered product information displayed on the registration screen 810 by operating the "product cancellation" key 820c, the mobile terminal 20 cancels the registration of the registered product information displayed on the registration screen 810 ( Cancel).
Then, the portable terminal 20 outputs the registered merchandise information whose registration has been canceled (deleted) to the host device 10, and the host device 10 updates the registration information stored in the shopping file 140 based on the input information.

When the member cancels the registered product information, the mobile terminal 20 may notify that the product will be returned to the display shelf or the like.
At this time, if the position of the member in the store can be specified, the portable terminal 20 detects whether or not the product for which the registered product information has been canceled is at least a certain distance away from the shelf to be returned, and returns it to the shelf. A screen may be displayed to select either the process or the process of moving to the holding basket.

When the registration of the registered product information is canceled by the member, the mobile terminal 20 associates the product information of the deleted product with the information indicating that the cancel operation has been performed, and stores it as canceled product information. You can In particular, when a product for which registered product information has been canceled is moved to a holding basket, the portable terminal 20 preferably stores the product as canceled product information.

In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may delete the registered product information whose registration has been canceled without displaying it on the registration screen 810. You may display so that you can see that it has been canceled by, for example,

Further, the portable terminal 20 may output information indicating that the member has performed a cancellation operation to the host device 10, and the host device 10 may store the cancellation operation information in the shopping file 140. FIG.
Furthermore, the host device 10 may store in the member master 130 the number of operations for canceling (cancelling) the registered product information performed by the member in the shopping after the settlement process for the shopping is completed.

(Notification process)
If it is determined in step S204 that the product cannot be registered because the product cannot be read, or if it is determined in step S205 that the product cannot be registered because the product is a non-file product, etc. , the portable terminal 20 notifies the member that the product cannot be registered (S207).

For example, the mobile terminal 20 displays, on the registration screen 810, a notice (pop-up) 830 to the effect that a product that cannot be registered is a pending product, as shown in FIG. 13(b). At this time, a message indicating that both products will be handled differently is provided, such as a display 830a prompting the user to place the normally registered product and the unregistered product in a different basket (or a specific area within the basket). good too.
Note that the notification that the product cannot be registered is not limited to pop-up display such as a message.

If a product that cannot be registered is a non-readable product and the barcode of the product is displayed on the display shelf of the product, the mobile terminal 20 notifies the user to read the barcode attached to the display shelf. You may

Note that if the product registered by the member is not a product that cannot be registered, but is a product that requires the intervention of a clerk, the portable terminal 20 displays the registered product on the registration screen 810 as requiring the intervention of a clerk. A pop-up display or the like is displayed to the effect that a store clerk will be called at the time of checkout.

Products that require the intervention of a store clerk include, for example, "medicine", "products subject to security tags", and "age confirmation products" such as liquor.
In addition, empty packages and price cards with barcodes are placed on the display shelves for some pharmaceuticals, high-priced products, and large products. There are "exchange products" that receive the actual product at the time of payment. For the sake of explanation, the term “reserved product” may be used to include the product that requires the intervention of a store clerk.

If the product registered by the member requires the intervention of a store clerk, the mobile terminal 20 confirms that the registered product is a special product such as a "product subject to security tags" and A staff member will remove the crime prevention tag.", or the like (display of alerting information) suitable for each special product, and an "OK" key for approving it is displayed. When the member presses the "OK" key, the portable terminal 20 generates product information for the product approved by the member.

Furthermore, when the product registered by the member is a "replacement product", the portable terminal 20 sends a message to the clerk, "Transaction number 1111 Mr. ○○ has registered second-class drugs and a clothesline. and hand it over to the person in charge of the service counter."

As a result, the store clerk can pick the actual product and prepare the actual product for the checkout device before the member goes to the checkout device, and can quickly deliver the product when the member arrives at the checkout device. can.

(Reserved product information generation process)
The mobile terminal 20 generates pending product information for products that cannot be registered (S208). The reserved product information includes, for example, member identification information, shopping identification information, reading time, etc. It is preferable to also store information on whether the reserved product is a non-file product or an unreadable product. , and may further include imaging data when the code information is imaged.

In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may generate reserved product information including that the product requires the intervention of a salesclerk for the product that requires the intervention of the salesclerk. The mobile terminal 20 stores the generated reserved product information. (Addition of warning information)

(Display processing)
As shown in FIG. 15A, the mobile terminal 20 that has generated the pending product information displays the pending product information indicating that there is a pending product in the second display area 812 of the registration screen 810 in accordance with the registered product information 812d. 812e is displayed (S209).

It is preferable that the mobile terminal 20 displays the pending product information 812e displayed in the second display area 812 in a display form different from that of the registered product information 812d.
In the example shown in FIG. 15(a), the mobile terminal 20 displays two pieces of registered product information 812d together with reserved product information 812e. It makes it different from the background.

In the second display area 812, the mobile terminal 20 displays the number of reserved products in the display column 812g, and displays the reserved product information 812e as normal registered products such as "Please put in a dedicated basket". A display 812f prompting to perform different processing may be displayed to inform the member that there is a reserved product and that the reserved product will be handled differently.
When displaying, the mobile terminal 20 preferably also displays whether the reserved product is a "non-file product" or a "non-readable product". By displaying this display, the store clerk can provide a quicker response to the customer.

Further, the mobile terminal 20 displays in the second display area 812 items such as "medicine", "item subject to crime prevention tag", "age confirmation item" such as liquor, "replacement item", etc. (display of alerting information) may be displayed together with a message such as "This product requires confirmation by a store clerk."

Further, it is preferable that the reserved product information 812e displayed in the second display area 812 can be changed in quantity or deleted in the same manner as the normal registered product information.
For example, if the member repeatedly reads the bar code of a product that cannot be registered, a plurality of pending product information items 812e may be generated. , the mobile terminal 20 may delete the reserved product information 812e.
It should be noted that the mobile terminal 20 may output the pending product information and the information related to the cancellation operation of the pending product information to the host device 10 in the same manner as the registered product information.
Then, the host device 10 may store the input pending product information and the like in the shopping file 140 .

(Output registration information)
The portable terminal 20 displaying the registration information proceeds to step S210 and detects whether or not the member has given an instruction to proceed to checkout (S210).
When the mobile terminal 20 detects that the member has instructed to proceed to the checkout (Yes in S210), the mobile terminal 20 outputs the instruction to proceed to the checkout or the registration information together with the instruction to proceed to the checkout (S211), and completes the process. do.

The registration information output by the mobile terminal 20 may be shopping identification information.
Further, the registration information may include registered product information for which product registration was successful, pending product information for which product registration was not possible, and the like, and may further include canceled product information for canceling product registration.

In the following, a further description will be given of each function of the mobile terminal 20 or the POS terminal 70 of this embodiment.
―How to display the list of registered details―
Next, the screen display and the like of the mobile terminal 20 at the time of product registration will be further described.
(Normal registration operation)
During shopping, the mobile terminal 20 displays a registration screen 810 shown in FIG. 16A on the display unit 250. FIG.
When the member uses the mobile terminal 20 to read the information such as the barcode attached to the product, the mobile terminal 20 displays the second display area 812 arranged in the lower area of the registration screen 810 shown in FIG. 16(a). , the most recently registered product is displayed in order so that it is positioned above the second display area 812 .

As the product registration by the member progresses, the second display area 812 of the registration screen 810 of the mobile terminal 20 is filled with the registered product information, and the product information whose barcode was read earlier is displayed in the second display area. No display is made in the display area 812 .
The member can check the registered products by looking at the second display area 812, but when purchasing many products, in order to check the information of the previously registered products, the second display area 812 is required. It is necessary to scroll the list display displayed in the display area 812 of , and confirmation is troublesome.
The mobile terminal 20 of the present embodiment can expand the second display area 812 of the display unit 250 as necessary, so that the member can more easily check the registered products.

Specifically, when it becomes impossible to display all the product information registered in the second display area 812 due to the registration of a plurality of products by the member, the mobile terminal 20 displays the third display area 813 as “expanded”. A key (manipulator) 813d is displayed.
When the member operates the "expansion" key 813d, the mobile terminal 20 expands the second display area 812 and uses the entire area of the display unit 250 to display the second display area, as shown in FIG. 16(b). Display area 812 and third display area 813 are displayed.
Further, by expanding the second display area 812, the third display area 813 has a "reduce" key (manipulator) 813e for reducing the second display area 812 to the original range before expansion. may be displayed.

Needless to say, if all products cannot be displayed even if the second display area 812 and the third display area 813 are displayed using the entire area of the display unit 250, they can be displayed by scrolling.
Note that the method for expanding the second display area 812 is not limited to using the “expand” key 813 d arranged in the third display area 813 .

When the mobile terminal 20 hides the first display area 811 by displaying the second display area 812 and the third display area 813 using the entire area of the display unit 250, the mobile terminal It is preferable to disable the acquisition of image data by the input unit 260 of 20 .

It is to be noted that the mobile terminal 20 does not necessarily have to extend the second display area 812 and the third display area 813 to the entire area of the display unit 250 by operating the "extend" key 813d.
The portable terminal 20 may set the expansion range based on the member's operation, or may set the expansion range so that all the products can be checked according to the number of products.

The mobile terminal 20 may disable acquisition of image data by the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 immediately after the second display area 812 is changed to include the first display area 811. Acquisition of image data by the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 may be disabled when the reading range is expanded to the area 812 visibly displayed in the first display area 811 .
As described above, the portable terminal 20 disables the image pickup by the input unit 260 when the image pickup data cannot be confirmed using the first display area 811, thereby suppressing wasteful consumption of electricity. can.

Further, the mobile terminal 20 may sequentially expand and display the second display area 812 as the member performs product registration processing. In that case, by setting the maximum expansion state of the second display area 812, the mobile terminal 20 automatically expands the second display area 812 while securing the first display area 811. You may

It should be noted that the portable terminal 20 may disable the imaging by the input unit 260 for power saving when the barcode (product identification information) is not recognized within the reading range of the first display area 811 for a predetermined time.

Since the mobile terminal 20 has the first display area 811 on the upper part of the screen, the operator operates the mobile terminal according to the position of the camera of the mobile terminal. It is very easy to operate because it will be visible beyond the upper end of the . The reason why the second display area 812 is located at the bottom of the screen is that it is sufficient if the screen can be viewed when checking the purchased products. The expansion key of the third display area 813 enables full display, and when the front display is insufficient, all products can be confirmed by scrolling operation or the like.

Furthermore, during the imaging process, the operation is performed while confirming the current number of purchases and the purchase price. 3 display area 813 is very excellent in that it does not impose a burden on the operator's line of sight movement. In addition, it is easy to operate the expansion keys described above.

The portable terminal 20 may switch the display position of the operator on the screen according to member information or arbitrary timing. Specifically, since the mobile terminal 20 usually has an arrangement of controls in consideration of operability for a right-handed person, usability is poor for left-handed or left-handed operations. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27(a), the portable terminal 20 arranges the "checkout" key 813c at a position approximately the same distance from the center line of the screen, and as shown in FIG. 812b and the like may also be moved in the same manner, and may be placed at the beginning of the product name display.
In other words, the portable terminal 20 may memorize the arrangement of operators suitable for right-handed operation and left-handed operation, and automatically switch according to a switching instruction, member information, or the like. Furthermore, in the mobile terminal 20, the "checkout" key 813c may be arranged at a place where it is difficult to operate, for example, at a position on the opposite side.

FIG. 26 shows the flow of processing relating to the method of displaying the list of registration details described above. This flow corresponds to the subroutine of step S209 in the flow shown in FIG.
In step S<b>401 , the mobile terminal 20 displays the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 on the display unit 212 . Then, the mobile terminal 20 detects that the expansion operation of the second display area 812 has been performed by the member (S402). Execute (S403).

Then, it is determined whether or not the expanded second display area 812 has reached a predetermined range (S404).
The predetermined range in step S404 may be, for example, a range that includes at least the range of the first display area 811, or a range that includes the reading range in which the barcode can be recognized. Alternatively, the range may include the entire first display area 811 .

When the portable terminal 20 determines in step S404 that the second display area 812 has reached the predetermined range, the process proceeds to step S406 and disables the acquisition means 203 . Specifically, the imaging function of the camera (imaging means by the input unit 260) is turned off.

On the other hand, if it is not detected in step S402 that the member has performed an expansion operation, the process advances to step S405 to detect that the barcode is not recognized in the reading range of the second display area 812 for a predetermined period of time. However, if it is determined that the barcode has not been recognized for a predetermined period of time, the portable terminal 20 proceeds to step S406 and disables the acquisition means.

If the barcode is recognized in step S405, the process returns to step S401 to continue displaying the registration information.
The processing related to the display method of the product registration screen has been described above.

－Multiple purchases of the same product－
When registering products using the mobile terminal 20 of the present embodiment, if the member purchases a plurality of the same product, the quantity displayed in the registered product information 812d of the registration screen 810 may be changed. However, the code information of the same product may be imaged multiple times.

However, when the code information of the same product is imaged multiple times continuously or after an interval of time, the portable terminal 20 displays whether or not it is permissible to purchase multiple products of the same product. Change the confirmation sound and vibration pattern when acquiring information. For example, "The same product has been read twice. Is the registration correct?"
This allows the member to recognize that the product registration process being operated is the acquisition of code information for a plurality of times.

Specifically, when the member confirms the product by photographing the same product, the portable terminal 20 displays "The same product has been registered. Do you want to purchase it?" It may be displayed for confirmation.
Moreover, at the time of the confirmation, the portable terminal 20 may display a screen that allows the quantity adjustment operation. This method is efficient because there is a possibility of further additions when registering the same product consecutively.

Even when the member registers the same product again after registering the same product, the mobile terminal 20 performs confirmation in the same way.
In order to prevent unauthorized use, the mobile terminal 20 may allow registration of a plurality of products by performing reading the same number of times as the number of purchases. Similarly, the portable terminal 20 may be deleted by performing deletion the same number of times as the number of deletions.
The mobile terminal 20 may adopt either or both of the operations for purchasing the same product multiple times. Moreover, the portable terminal 20 may change the operation method according to the operation level (skill level) of the member.

Then, when the member registers the same product by imaging multiple times, the portable terminal 20 sets the purchase quantity of the registered product information of the product to the multiple times and displays it in the latest line of the list display. . Needless to say, the registration of the same product obtained by imaging a plurality of times may be displayed in a plurality of lines.

－Registration operation of products sold individually－
Products that are not suitable for affixing barcodes, such as fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers and bulk products such as fish, can be registered by, for example, capturing the barcodes attached to the shelves or containers on which the products are displayed. should be registered. Also, a barcode displayed on an electronic shelf label or the like may be imaged.
It goes without saying that if a bar code is directly attached to the product, the bar code may be imaged.

The mobile terminal 20 may identify a product by capturing an image of a product that is not suitable for attaching a barcode and recognizing the product. Further, the registration process may be performed by voice or the like, or the registration process may be performed by displaying a preset key on the display unit and allowing the member to select it.

Also, when selling bulk products, etc., discounts are often applied by bulk purchase (multiple sales). , as shown in FIG. 17(a), a pop-up 850 is displayed in which the number of products that are cheaper due to bulk purchase is set as the initial value of the number of products to be purchased.

The pop-up 850 displays a product name 850a, a price per unit 850b, a purchase quantity 850c, and a selling price 850d for the bulk product, as well as a "+" key 850e and a "-" for instructing a change in the purchase quantity. A key 850f, a "cancel product" key 850g, and a "determine" key 850h are displayed.

In the example shown in FIG. 17( a ), the mobile terminal 20 displays a pop-up 850 in which a product with the product name “Hokkaido Corn” is registered. It is displayed that it is a profit of 60 yen. Then, the portable terminal 20 sets the purchase quantity 850c to "3", which is the collective quantity, as an initial value. The member can know from the pop-up 850 that the product is a bulk purchase discount product, and can easily set the bulk purchase product registration by operating the "determine" key 850h.

The member can change the number of purchases by operating the "+" key 850e and the "-" key 850f, and can also cancel the registration of the product by operating the "cancel product" key 850g. is the same as the normal product registration operation.

When the member operates the "-" key 850f to change the purchase quantity, the portable terminal 20 changes the display of the pop-up 850 as shown in FIG. 17(b).
In the pop-up 850 shown in FIG. 17(b), the display of the number of purchases 850c is changed to "1", and the sale price (120 yen) to which no discount is applied is displayed. is displayed.

The content and timing of the display prompting the bulk purchase are not particularly limited, and the mobile terminal 20 may display that the bulk purchase discount is no longer applied at the timing when the member changes the number of items to be purchased.

When the member operates (confirms) the "determine" key 850h, the portable terminal 20 registers the registration information according to the number set in the purchased number 850c.
In this way, the member can know from the pop-up 850 that the product is a bulk purchase discount product, and can easily set the bulk purchase by operating the "determine" key 850h.
Note that the initial value may be set to "1" even for products to which a bulk purchase discount is applied.

In addition, this registration operation is also applied to ordinary single-item products. In other words, by setting sales conditions such as bundle sales and bulk purchases, registration operations can be executed in the same way. The sales conditions are set by a product master, a bargain sale master, or the like, and are generated as information that allows the portable terminal to specify the product. Furthermore, a special sale for members, which is not applied to general customers, may be applied.

In addition, for products with limited sales quantity, for example, products with sales conditions such as up to XX per person, you can disable or hide the "+" in the upper limit quantity.
In addition, only "+" may be counted up in the quantity unit set in the sales conditions, and furthermore, the addition/subtraction keys may be displayed and functioned by changing the aspect of the addition/subtraction keys in units of "sales condition quantity". .

Furthermore, when the amount is subtracted from the "sales condition quantity", it is possible to notify that the sales condition is not fulfilled, and to change the mode of the description of the sales condition and display it. In addition, when "1" is added to the "sales condition quantity", the display may be switched to the next sales condition fulfilled quantity and the total discount amount.
By doing so, it is possible to encourage the member to purchase in the quantity specified in the sales conditions.

FIG. 29 shows an example of the flow of processing related to the registration operation of the above-mentioned individual products.
The mobile terminal 20 inputs the product information of the product purchased by the member (S501).
Specifically, the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 acquires the product identification information by reading the barcode attached to the product, and based on the product identification information, the product information of the product is obtained from the product master 110. Get (input).

Next, the portable terminal 20 detects whether or not special sales conditions are set in the sales conditions of the input product information (S502). For example, in the table shown in FIG. 28(a), it is detected whether or not the product with the input product identification number has a sales condition (plan number).
The special sales conditions referred to here are sales conditions in which certain conditions are set regarding the number of products to be sold, such as setting an upper limit on the number of products to be sold in bulk or the number of purchases per person.
Furthermore, if the number of purchases is stored in advance in a shopping list or the like, the number of purchases may also be included in the sales conditions. It may also indicate that the item is frequently purchased by the customer (item with a purchase history).

In step S502, when detecting that special sales conditions are set in the product information, the portable terminal 20 sets the sales conditions by referring to the product master bargain sale data shown in FIG. 28(b), for example. Acquire information on the number of establishments that are set.
Then, the mobile terminal 20 determines the number of purchases when the member purchases the product based on the acquired information on the number of successful sales, that is, the detected sales conditions (S503).

For example, the mobile terminal 20 detects that the acquired product identification information is 0001 (corn), and that the product is subject to the package discount of plan number 1. It acquires that there are 1, and determines the combined quantity "3" to be discounted as the quantity. In addition, for example, the mobile terminal 20 determines the limited quantity as the quantity in the case of a limited-quantity product for which sales conditions such as two per person are set. In addition, if the mobile terminal 20 is a product that is frequently purchased by the customer (a product with a purchase history), the number of items purchased last time may be used.

The mobile terminal 20 that has determined the number of items displays a confirmation screen for determining the registration of the item on the display unit 250 with the number set in advance for the number of items to be purchased (S504).
Normally, when the member reads the bar code of the product, the mobile terminal 20 sets "1" as the number of purchases and registers the product. For example, if the product is a bulk discount product, a confirmation screen is displayed in which the bulk quantity is set as the purchase quantity, as shown in FIG. 17(a).

In step S504, the portable terminal 20 displaying the confirmation screen waits for the "OK" key 850h arranged on the confirmation screen to be operated.
If an operation to change the number of purchases is performed on the confirmation screen, the number of purchases is changed according to the operation.

In step S506, when it is detected that the "determine" key 850h has been operated by the member, the portable terminal 20 registers the merchandise according to the number of purchases at the time the "determine" key 850h is operated, and starts processing. complete.

On the other hand, if it is detected in step S502 that no special sales conditions have been set in the product information, the process proceeds to step S505, sets the number of purchases to "1", and proceeds to step S507 without displaying the confirmation screen. Proceed to register the product and complete the process.
The above is a description of the processing related to the operation of registering individual products.

－Registration operation of irregular measure products－
When registering products sold by weight, such as meat and side dishes, a price label on which product information is recorded is printed by a weighing machine for weighing the products sold by weight, and the portable terminal 20 reads the bar code printed on the price label. Product registration processing is performed by reading the

By connecting the weighing scale to the store controller, the product information recorded on the issued pricing label can be added to the product master.
It should be noted that it may be configured such that the purchase quantity cannot be changed by operating the list display on the registration screen 810 for the non-fixed measure product.

When the weighing scale is connected to a network, the weighing scale and the mobile terminal 20 are connected by short-range wireless communication or the like. The product to be weighed may be specified by operating , and the information of the weighed product may be registered in the portable terminal 20 by weighing the product with a weighing scale. In this case, the label issued by the weighing machine may be attached to the product with only information such as expiration date printed on it.

Furthermore, if member information, application user ID, etc. can be recognized by an IC, etc., shopping data can be generated even from a weighing machine exclusively for bulk, and can be uploaded as customer shopping data, and the two data can be collated. It is also possible to prevent fraud etc.
In addition, if only the product is designated and the mass is not fixed, that is, the purchase price is not fixed, the product may be handled as a reserved product.

－Registration of coupon information－
The mobile terminal 20 can register coupon information of paper-based coupons. For example, by reading the bar code printed on the coupon, the recorded discount information can be acquired and reflected in the registered product information.
If the recorded coupon information is unique coupon information, the coupon information may be invalidated by reading the coupon information.
If it is necessary to collect the coupon, the store clerk may be called during shopping to input the coupon, or the POS terminal 70 that performs the settlement process may be specified as a manned POS or the like to settle the account.

Note that the portable terminal 20 may automatically calculate the maximum discount condition based on the read coupon information, reflect the result in the product price, and output the registration information.
In addition, the portable terminal 20 includes the read coupon information in the product registration information and outputs it as code information such as a symbol code. may be output and discount processing or the like may be performed.

In this case as well, the shopping identification information and the coupon identification information are recorded in the code information such as the QR code (registered trademark) output by the portable terminal 20, and the POS terminal 70 that acquires the identification information The registration information and the coupon information may be acquired from the host device 10 based on this.

－Use of shopping list－
The member uses the mobile terminal 20 to specify a store, specify all or part of the product master of the store, and download the product master data. Create a list of (hereinafter, “shopping list”).

For example, the mobile terminal 20 creates a shopping list when the member selects and registers products to be purchased from the product information list displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20 . Moreover, the portable terminal 20 may automatically register products that are purchased on a daily basis as products to be purchased when creating a shopping list.

The member can display the shopping list on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20 and use the shopping list when registering the product at the store.
The order of the products to be purchased in the displayed shopping list may be in the order of the aisle of the store or in the order of the department, or can be freely set and changed.
Also, for example, by voice input such as "Very good", "Seika", etc., the mobile terminal 20 may display only the corresponding department or may display it in the upper position of the display area.

When the member registers products, the portable terminal 20 changes the display of product information on the shopping list and erases the shopping list. This allows the member to know that the product to be purchased has been registered.
Note that the mobile terminal 20 may notify the planned purchase quantity and register the planned quantity for the products that are planned to be purchased in multiples, thereby performing the deletion or the like.

Moreover, the portable terminal 20 may be arranged such that the product registration process cannot be executed until after the member designates the product to be registered from the shopping list. As a result, the intended purchase product can be purchased without fail, and excessive impulse buying such as purchase of an unplanned product can be suppressed.

It should be noted that when the member designates a product and then takes an image of a product other than the product, the portable terminal 20 may display an error or the like. In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may display an error or the like even when another product registered in the shopping list is imaged.

Note that the mobile terminal 20 allows product registration processing even for products that do not exist in the shopping list. Notification is preferred.
Furthermore, the portable terminal 20 may display a list of registered information so that products that are present in the shopping list and products that are not present can be distinguished.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 20 may complete the registration of the product when the member clicks the product name displayed in the shopping list. Members can register products more smoothly without having to read the barcode of the product. Also, by registering products using the shopping list, it is possible to easily perform registration processing for products to which barcodes are not attached.

It should be noted that the mobile terminal 20 automatically adds products that are regularly purchased from past shopping history information to the shopping list, and creates a "shopping list" by scanning the barcodes of empty containers at home. good too. Also, the mobile terminal 20 may be limited to functioning as a preset key for products to which barcodes are not attached. You don't have to bother to read the bar code on the selling price plate or the like. An operation button may be provided for displaying alternatives such as production area (manufacturer), standard, and capacity.

If there is a product registered in the shopping list but without registration information, the portable terminal 20 may notify the member by displaying on the registration screen or the like that the product has been forgotten to be purchased. , you may inquire whether or not to purchase the item you forgot to buy.

－Registration information output processing－
The output processing of registration information at the time of payment will be further described.
The registration information is output by converting the shopping identification information into a QR code (registered trademark), displaying it on the portable terminal 20, and reading it with the POS terminal 70. FIG.
The POS terminal 70, which has read the QR code (registered trademark), requests shopping information from the host device 10 using the acquired shopping identification information. A subtotal is calculated based on the obtained shopping information, and the calculated shopping information is transmitted to the POS terminal 70. - 特許庁

A QR code (registered trademark) that encodes the shopping information may be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 20 and output to the POS terminal 70 . In that case, the code information (QR code (registered trademark) 840a) displayed on the output screen 830 of the mobile terminal 20 was read by the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 to output the registration information and perform the settlement process. If there is a lot of registration information and the amount of information is not enough for one code information, a plurality of code information are continuously displayed and read continuously by the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 to read all the registration information. to output At that time, the portable terminal 20 preferably displays the total number of pieces of code information and the number of the currently displayed code information on the output screen 830 .

It should be noted that the POS terminal 70 does not read the shopping identification information or the like from the QR code (registered trademark), but the mobile terminal 20 displays the information in the storage area of the shopping file, and the POS terminal 70 from which the information in the storage area is acquired. may acquire and receive information on registered products by acquiring a "shopping file" based on the information.
Also, the information output to the POS terminal 70 is not limited to the QR code (registered trademark), and may be a one-dimensional code. Furthermore, the member information such as the NFC identification code of the mobile terminal 20 may be identifiable. By setting the identifier in the shopping file, the shopping file can be easily identified.

When the registration information is output by displaying the code information (QR code (registered trademark) 840a) on the output screen 840 of the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 is kept on the mobile terminal until the POS terminal 70 completes the input processing of the registration information. 20 does not stop displaying code information.

For example, when the POS terminal 70 completes reading the code information (QR code (registered trademark) 840a), it notifies the portable terminal 20 of the fact. The display of the code information may be terminated by displaying on the display unit 250 of the terminal 20 a message such as "Commodity registration will be terminated. Subsequent operations will be performed on the settlement device."

As a result, the member can know that the product registration process by the mobile terminal 20 has been completed, and can concentrate on the settlement process by the POS terminal 70 .
The mobile terminal 20 such as a smart phone that has completed the product registration process ends the output screen 830 displayed on the display unit 250 and returns to the start screen 800 .

Further, the output of registration information from the mobile terminal 20 to the POS terminal 70 is not limited to display of code information.
For example, when the customer completes the registration process using the mobile terminal 20 and selects the POS terminal 70 that performs the settlement process, the mobile terminal 20 specifies the POS terminal 70 and registers it with the POS terminal 70 via the network. information may be output.

Further, by reading the identification information of the POS terminal 70 attached to or displayed on the screen of the POS terminal 70 by the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20, the registered information for the POS terminal 70 of the read identification information is sent via the network. It is also possible to output At this time, the registration information may be output not directly to the POS terminal 70 selected by the portable terminal 20 but via a host system such as the host device 10 or the store controller 60 .
That is, the mobile terminal 20 outputs shopping identification information to the selected POS terminal 70, and the POS terminal 70 that has input the shopping identification information requests and acquires registration information corresponding to the host system based on the shopping identification information. You may

In addition, the portable terminal 20 receives the status information of the POS terminal 70, displays the status button of the POS terminal 70 on the display unit 250, and when the member selects the POS terminal 70, the selected POS terminal 70 You may make it output registration information to.
Further, based on the status information transmitted from the POS terminal 70 to the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 may automatically select and output the POS terminal 70 that outputs the registration information or the shopping identification information.
The output of the registration information from the mobile terminal 20 to the POS terminal 70 is not particularly limited, and may be performed by an appropriate method.

While shopping, there may be times when the member remembers that there is an item he or she forgot to buy during the checkout process. By doing so, the POS terminal 70 displays a notification screen such as "Settlement will be canceled. Subsequent operations will be performed on the smartphone." The display of 810 may be performed again so that product registration can be continued.

－Payment processing－
The member selects a payment method for product payment processing on the payment screen 950. If the payment method is registered in advance when the member is registered, the POS terminal 70 selects the payment method. screen does not have to be displayed. Note that it is preferable that the payment method can be changed even if the payment method is registered.

For products that require age authentication, such as alcoholic beverages, it is necessary to call a store clerk as with reserved products. In addition, in the case of pharmaceuticals, explanations from a pharmacist or a registered salesperson are obligatory for second-class pharmaceuticals, so a store clerk may be called in a manner different from reserved products.

The sales data processing system may treat these products in the same manner as reserved products, store them as reserved product information, and call the store clerk by the notification means at the time of payment.
Also, the POS terminal 70 preferably prohibits checkout by means of prohibition unless editing (confirmation processing) is performed, as with the reserved product information.
Furthermore, it is also possible to notify the absence of a pharmacist or a registered salesperson.

For the settlement process, payment by gift certificate or payment by point member's points is also possible. Also, discount tickets such as coupons can be used, and payment can be made in the same manner as normal payment processing, such as paying out change and issuing receipts.
The sales data processing system may automatically call a clerk when a clerk's intervention is required to collect gift certificates or the like. Alternatively, the display section of the mobile terminal 20 or the POS terminal 70 may be displayed to guide the user to a service counter, manned POS, or the like.

Moreover, it is preferable that the sales data processing system controls so that settlement processing is not performed based on registered product information registered at a store different from the store specified by the member.
That is, the basket data (shopping file) generated by specifying the store has store identification information, and the registration information registered by the mobile terminal 20 in which the other store is specified is output, and the POS When the terminal 70 attempts to perform settlement processing, an error message such as "This is not a purchase at the main store."

Also, when product registration processing is performed using the mobile terminal 20 in which another store has been specified, the display screen of the mobile terminal 20 displays the message "Payment for other stores has not been completed. Would you like to create basket data for our store?" A message such as "You are logged in to another store. You cannot log in" may be displayed to prevent shopping at other stores.

The check by the clerk may be performed in the clerk calling process in step S703 of the flow in FIG. 11, but may be performed at other timings.
Also, the checking of the settlement process by the store clerk may be performed at random as an unannounced inspection.

For example, the sales data processing system may perform a check by a store clerk on members whose membership level stored in the customer file is the lowest level L1. As a result, members who use the service for the first time are always checked and supported by the staff.
On the other hand, for high level L5 members who have experienced the registration process with the mobile terminal 20 multiple times and who have few erroneous operations with the mobile terminal 20, check and support by the store clerk will be omitted, reducing the burden on the store. be able to.

- Prevention of forgetting payment -
When the member moves out of the store without completing the payment processing for the purchased product, the portable terminal 20 notifies that the payment processing for the product has not been completed.
Specifically, when the location of the mobile terminal 20 is specified by the GPS location information and the mobile terminal 20 moves out of the store premises without performing the settlement process, the mobile terminal 20 is stored in the registered customer's e-mail address and application. Notify on screen.

Further, when product registration processing is performed using an application, the mobile terminal 20 does not forcibly terminate the application or prohibits launching of other applications until the settlement processing is completed. , may be notified to the customer.
In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may notify by e-mail or the like that automatic payment will be made by means of payment such as a pre-registered credit card.

Furthermore, the sales data processing system of the present embodiment may be operated without performing settlement processing in the settlement device by registering credit, electronic money, or a debit account of a financial institution. However, it is also possible for the member to arbitrarily decide to confirm the contents of the purchase using a settlement device or a device having a similar function, since confirming the contents of the purchase allows the member to shop with peace of mind.

In addition, if there are no pending products, or if there is no need to handle cash payments, gift certificates, or coupons depending on the member's operation level, etc., in other words, it is necessary to use payment devices such as online payment and direct debit. If not, the portable terminal 20 notifies that the operation of the settlement device may be skipped at the time of displaying the registration information or shopping identification information in the registration end operation on a QR code (registered trademark) or the like. Alternatively, instead of the screen, a notification or guidance such as "no operation on the settlement device is required" may be provided.

－Display of purchase history－
The sales data processing system of this embodiment stores the operation history of the mobile terminal 20 and the status of the mobile terminal 20 from when the member enters the store to when the settlement process is completed on the settlement device. can be displayed on the display unit 250 of the portable terminal 20 or the display unit of the POS terminal (settlement device) 70 (display of alerting information).

For example, as shown in FIG. 20, when the member uses the portable terminal 20 to read the bar code of the product, the POS terminal 70 "suspends" the status indicating that the product registration information could not be read. Product Not Scanned” 920c indicates that the barcode of the product was read and the product identification information could be obtained, but the product master did not contain the product information. It is displayed as "holding product NON file" 920b.
Further, the POS terminal 70 displays the state in which the member cancels the registration of the product after registering the product using the portable terminal 20 as "cancelled product" 920d.

The operation history displayed by the sales data processing system of the present embodiment is not limited to registration of pending products or cancellation of registered products.
For example, during a time sale, the member may use the mobile terminal 20 to display discount information (such as a discount sticker) applied to the product as a "discounted product" 920h on the display unit (display of alerting information).

Generally, service information (discounts, discounts) related to service products is stored in association with the products in the host device 10, and the service information (discounts) is automatically generated based on the product identification information by reading the bar code of the product. Discounts, discounts) are reflected.

On the other hand, discounts and discounts such as a time sale of side dishes and a disposal sale of vegetables are sometimes dealt with by sticking a discount sticker or the like depending on the discretion of the store clerk who sees the actual product.
In this case, since it is difficult to link the service information to the host device 10, after reading the bar code (discount information) written on the discount sticker attached by the member himself/herself, the bar code of the product, etc. Reading may apply a discount to the item.
Application of the discount may be applied by reading the discount information on the discount sticker after scanning the bar code of the item.
Also, the discount information on the discount sticker is not limited to a barcode, and may be characters such as "50% discount" or symbols such as "O" and "◎", as long as it can be recognized by the mobile terminal 20. is not particularly limited.

In the case of applying such a discount, for example, if product A has 50% discount service information attached, after reading the barcode information of product B that is not discounted, the product A By reading the service information of B, there is a possibility that a 50% discount will be applied to product B as well.

In order to reduce these frauds as much as possible, when a member registers a 50% discount five times or more, the POS terminal 70 regards the member's transaction as a cautionary transaction (addition of cautionary information). Similar to other pending products, the registration confirmation screen 920 may display (display alert information) at the top of the registered product information 920a as a discount transaction that requires the intervention of a clerk.
The POS terminal 70 may thereafter manage the member as a noted customer.

The sales data processing system makes it impossible to register a product with an illegal discount by setting a flag indicating whether or not a discount is available and an upper limit value of discount for the product identification information on the product master 110. may

For example, the sales data processing system sets the product identification information of product B on the product master 110 to "no discount", so that when the member reads the barcode information of product B and the 50% discount service information, , the execution of discount processing may be prohibited, and a message such as "This product is not subject to discount. There is a possibility that the discount sticker of another product has been read."

In addition, the sales data processing system sets "upper limit: 20% discount" in the product identification information of product C on the product master 110, so that the member can read the bar code information of product C and the service information exceeding the upper limit. In some cases, the execution of discount processing may be prohibited and a similar error message may be notified.

Further, when the execution of the above-mentioned discount processing is prohibited, the sales data processing system may store the relevant member in the member master 130 as an attention customer, and may be set so that the clerk intervenes at the time of settlement. In the confirmation screen 920, like other reserved products, the product may be displayed as a product requiring confirmation along with words such as "discount" (display of alerting information).

Also, when a member's smartphone is used as the mobile terminal 20, the battery of the smartphone may be lent.
The member can manage the battery in association with the member by reading a QR code (registered trademark) or the like attached to the battery with the portable terminal 20. The status of the battery being rented may be displayed on the display unit (display of alerting information), and furthermore, notification may be made to prompt the user to return the battery after the settlement process is completed.
