  First, the processing operation when the store server apparatus 2 updates the number of issues and the number of sales for each product in the management table T will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing operations in the store server device 2, and particularly shows a processing procedure when the store server device 2 updates the number of issues and the number of sales for each product in the management table T.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in this process, the process control unit 200 issues a label issuance including information indicating a product code and information indicating the number of labels L to be issued for each product (product code) in steps S11 and S12. It waits for reception of data or sales number data including information indicating the number of sales for each product (product code).

  If the label issuance data is received (step S11: Yes), the table update unit 200c then selects the corresponding product in the management table T based on the information included in the label issuance data received in step S11. The number of issues is updated (step S13), and the process control unit 200 returns the process to the monitoring process of steps S11 and S12.

  On the other hand, when the sales number data is received (step S12: Yes), the table update unit 200c then selects the corresponding product in the management table T based on the information included in the sales number data received in step S12. The number of sales is updated (step S14), and the process control unit 200 returns the process to the monitoring process of steps S11 and S12.

  Here, an example of the specific process of FIG. 8 will be described.

  For example, when the value of the issuance number associated with the product code “0000102” and the product name “Ushi shoulder” in the management table T is “0”, the label printer 6 uses the product code “0000102” and the product name. Label issuance data including 30 pieces of label L printed with “Ushiboshi loin” and the store server device 2 including information indicating the product code “0000102” and the number of labels L issued “30” from the label printer 6 Will be described.

  Further, for example, when the value of the number of sales associated with the product code “0000102” and the product name “Ushiboshi loin” in the management table T is “25”, the store server device 2 receives the product from the POS terminal 5. A case where sales number data including information indicating the sales number “2” of the product corresponding to the code “0000102” is received will be described.

  In this case, in step S <b> 14, in the store server device 2, the table updating unit 200 c updates the value of the number of sales associated with the product code “0000102” of the management table T to “27”.

  Next, a processing operation when the store server device 2 transmits warning screen data will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing operations in the store server device 2, and particularly shows a processing procedure when the store server device 2 transmits warning screen data to the label printer 6.

As shown in FIG. 9, in this process, the determination unit 200d performs a predetermined timing such as when the number of issued items or the number of sales for each product in the management table T is updated or when a certain period elapses.
With reference to the management table T, it is determined whether or not there is a product that requires a warning for replenishment of the product (step S21). Specifically, in the process of step S21, the determination unit 200d refers to the management table T, “Yes” is set in the item of presence / absence of warning, and the difference between the number of issues and the number of sales for each product It is determined whether or not there is a product having a value equal to or less than a specified value for each product.

  As a result of the determination, if it is determined that there is a product that requires a warning (step S21: Yes), then the alert unit 200e prompts replenishment of the product that is determined to require a warning in step S21. Generate warning screen data for displaying a warning message and displaying a warning screen S (see FIG. 7) on the liquid crystal display 61 of the label printer 6 that displays a picked-up image of the display status of the product at the merchandise store. Then, the data is transmitted to the label printer 6 via the communication network N (step S22).

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S21, when it is determined that there is no product that requires a warning (step S21: No), the process control unit 200 stands by without performing the process in step S22.

  Here, an example of the specific processing of FIG. 9 will be described.

  For example, a case where the management table T registers contents as shown in FIG. 6 when performing the process of step S21 will be described.

  In this case, in step S21, the determination unit 200d refers to the management table T1 illustrated in FIG. 6 and issues the number “30” of the label L of the product with the product code “0000102” and the product name “Ushi shoulder”. And the number of sales “27” are determined to be equal to or less than the specified value “5” set in association with the product. Further, it is determined that “present” is set in the item of presence / absence of warning in association with the product. As a result, the determination unit 200d determines that the product with the product code “0000102” and the product name “Ushiboshi loin” is a product that requires a warning for replenishing the product.

  In step S22, the alert unit 200e alerts the user that the product code is “0000102” and the product name is “Ushi Shoulder Loin”. ”And a live image P showing the display status of the product at the merchandise store, the warning screen data for displaying the warning screen S as shown in FIG. 7 on the liquid crystal display 61 of the label printer 6 is generated. Transmit to the label printer 6.

  Next, a processing operation when the label printer 6 transmits label issue data will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing operations in the label printer 6, and particularly shows the processing procedure when the label printer 6 transmits label issuance data to the store server device 2.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in this process, when the label issuing unit 600c issues a label L (step S31), in the subsequent step S32, for example, the label issuing unit 600c applies the label L issued in one print job. Label issuance data including information indicating the product code to be printed and information indicating the number of labels L issued for each product code is transmitted to the store server device 2 via the communication network N.

  Here, an example of the specific processing of FIG. 10 will be described.

  For example, in the case where the label printer 6 issues 30 labels L to be affixed to a product having a product code “0000102” and a product name “Ushi Shoulder Loose” in accordance with an operator's instruction. explain.

  In this case, in step S32, the label issuing unit 600c sends the label issuing data including information indicating the product code “0000102” and information indicating the number of issued labels L “30” to the store server device 2 via the communication network N. Send.

  Next, the processing operation when the label printer 6 receives warning screen data will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing operation in the label printer 6, and particularly shows the processing procedure when the label printer 6 receives the warning screen data and displays the warning screen S.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in this process, when the warning screen data receiving unit 600d receives the warning screen data from the store server device 2 via the communication network N (step S41), in the subsequent step S42, the display processing unit 600b. However, the warning screen S as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the liquid crystal display 61 based on the warning screen data received in step S41. As a result, for example, it is possible to make the operator (store clerk) know that the stock of the product whose product name is “Ushi shoulder” is small, and to promptly replenish the product.

  In the process of step S42, the touch operation of the instruction buttons B1 to B3 on the warning screen S by the operator (store clerk) is accepted.

  Specifically, when the operator presses down the instruction button B1 displayed as “corresponding”, the processing control unit 600 specifies that the operator responds, that is, replenishes the product. Information for notifying a person (for example, a store manager or a person in charge) is transmitted to a specific information processing apparatus such as the store server apparatus 2. Thereby, in a specific information processing apparatus such as the store server apparatus 2, a process of notifying that the operator responds is performed.

  On the other hand, when the operator presses down the instruction button B2 displayed as “Not supported”, the processing control unit 600 determines that the operator does not respond, that is, the product is not replenished. Information for notifying (for example, a store manager or a person in charge) is transmitted to a specific information processing apparatus such as the store server apparatus 2. Thereby, in a specific information processing apparatus such as the store server apparatus 2, a process of notifying that the operator does not respond is performed.

  On the other hand, if the operator accepts the pressing operation of the instruction button B3 displayed as “no material”, the processing control unit 600 cannot respond because there is no material, that is, the product is replenished due to insufficient material. Information for notifying a specific person (for example, a store manager or a person in charge) that the information cannot be transmitted is transmitted to a specific information processing apparatus such as the store server apparatus 2. Thereby, in a specific information processing apparatus such as the store server apparatus 2, a process of notifying that there is no material is performed.
