The store server 20 executes processing according to the following steps by the product price detection processing program.
[Step S11] When the product price of a certain product submitted by the customer is unknown at the POS terminal 30, for example, a search button on the screen of the POS terminal 30 is pressed, and the CPU 21 starts from the POS terminal 30. The product type of the requested product, the product image taken by the camera 70, and the request number indicating the search request source POS terminal 30 are received.

[Step S12] The CPU 21 obtains a position closest to the position of the product type of the requested product.
Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, in the store, it is assumed that a book area is provided in the upper right, a home appliance area in the lower right, a stationery area in the upper left, and a tableware area in the lower left. Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the position of the product whose product type is stationery becomes the stationery area, and the distance to the stationery area becomes shorter in the order of the stationery area, the book area, the tableware area, and the home appliance area. Yes. In FIG. 6, there are four areas in the store. However, the number of areas is not limited to four and may be five or more or three or less.

  By referring to the product type table 61 as shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 21 obtains a position closest to the position of the product type corresponding to the product type of the product that has been requested for search and received in the process of step S11. is doing. The product type table 61 stores the product type and the areas arranged in the order of the shortest distance to the position of the product type in association with each other. In addition, the product type table 61 stores the product type, the staff name of each staff member arranged in descending order of priority for the product type, and the person in charge of the product type in association with each other. .

[Step S13] The CPU 21 acquires the positions of all staff members in the store.
Here, for example, RFID readers 50 are provided in each of a stationery area, a book area, a tableware area, and a home appliance area, and these RFID readers 50 are carried by all the staff in the store. The RFID tag of the terminal 40 is read and the position information of the portable terminal 40 is acquired. When the position information of the portable terminal 40 is transmitted from the portable terminal 40 to the store server 20 via the RFID reader 50, the CPU 21 detects the position information of all the portable terminals 40 in the store, that is, the portable terminal 40. The location of the staff who is carrying is getting. As shown in FIG. 8, the staff position is stored in the staff position table 64 in association with the identification information of the portable terminal 40 carried by the staff and the staff name of the staff.

In addition, you may replace the process of step S12 and step S13.
In FIG. 8, the number of staff members is five staff members A to E, but is not limited to five members and can be arbitrarily set.

  [Step S14] Since the CPU 21 is closest to the position of the product type of the requested product, the CPU 21 detects a search staff who searches for the product price of the product. That is, the CPU 21 has acquired the position closest to the position of the product type of the requested product in the process of step S12, and stores the positions of all staff in the process of step S13. The staff position table 64 is detected.

  Or CPU21 detects a search staff from the staff in charge of the goods classification of the goods requested to be searched. That is, the CPU 21 refers to the product type table 61 in which the product type and the staff in charge of the product type are associated, and gives priority to the search staff who searches the product price of the product according to the product type of the requested product. It is detected in order of higher rank. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the product type is “fish”, “staff C”, “staff B” or “Staff D” is detected.

  [Step S15] The CPU 21 determines whether or not the search staff has been detected. If the search staff can be detected, the process proceeds to step S17. If the search staff cannot be detected, the process proceeds to step S16.

[Step S16] The CPU 21 obtains a position next to the closest position because there is no staff at the position closest to the position of the product type of the requested product.
[Step S17] In accordance with the identification information of the mobile terminal 40 carried by the search staff detected in the process of step S14, the CPU 21 receives the product type and product image of the product received in the mobile terminal 40 by the process of step S11. And request number.

  Here, the search staff refers to the product type of the product and the product image displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 40 in order to grasp the product price of the requested product, and the place where the product is displayed And the mobile terminal 40 reads the product or the barcode of the shelf displaying the product. Further, the search staff takes a product image of the product with the mobile terminal 40.

The search staff can control the camera 70 to acquire and check the product image of the product requested for search again. This product image may be a still image or a moving image.
[Step S18] The CPU 21 acquires the barcode and product image of the product searched by the search staff from the mobile terminal 40 of the search staff.

  Here, in order for the customer to confirm whether or not the product searched by the search staff is the same as the product requested to be searched, the product image of the product acquired in the process of step S18 may be presented to the customer. become able to.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the product type table 61, the product type and the person in charge of the product type are associated with each other. Therefore, the mobile terminal 40 of the person in charge is also searched from the mobile terminal 40 of the search staff. You may make it acquire the barcode and goods image of the goods which the staff searched. For example, when the product type is “fish”, the person in charge is “staff A”, so the mobile terminal 40 of “staff A” may also acquire the product barcode and product image. .

  [Step S19] The CPU 21 acquires the product price searched by the search staff, that is, the product price of the product requested to be searched. That is, the CPU 21 refers to the commodity price table 67 as shown in FIG. 9 and acquires the commodity price corresponding to the commodity barcode acquired in the process of step S18. The product price table 67 stores bar codes, product names, and product prices in association with all products in the store.

Here, since the customer confirms the product price of the product searched by the search staff, the product price of the product acquired in the process of step S19 can be presented to the customer.
[Step S20] The CPU 21 transmits the product price and product image of the product to the POS terminal 30 corresponding to the request number received in the process of step S11.

  Through the above processing, the search staff searching for the product price of the product is detected because it is closest to the position of the product type of the requested product, or the search staff is selected according to the product type of the requested product. The bar code and product image of the product detected and requested by the search staff are acquired, and the product price and product image corresponding to the bar code are transmitted to the POS terminal 30. Thereby, the POS terminal 30 can quickly grasp the product price of the requested product, and the product image of the product can be presented to the customer in front of the POS terminal 30.
