The memory unit 14 is composed of a non-volatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or a flash memory. The memory unit 14 includes a control program unit 141 for storing a control program, a product master 142, a customer master 143, and a delivery slip information unit 144. The product master 142, which is a storage unit, stores product information (product name, product unit price, temperature classification of the product, volume of the product, etc.) of the product corresponding to the product code that identifies the product. The customer master 143 stores the customer information of the customer who became a member. Customer information includes the customer's name, address, telephone number, email address, family relationship, and the like. The delivery slip information unit 144 is a storage unit that stores the product names of the products purchased by the customer in one transaction by classifying them according to the temperature category. Further, the delivery slip information unit 144 stores the total volume of the products purchased by the customer in one transaction by classifying them according to the temperature category. The details of the delivery slip information unit 144 will be described with reference to FIG.

Further, the control unit 100 is connected to the operation unit 21, the operator display unit 22, the customer display unit 23, the printing unit 24, the card reading unit 25, and the code reader 30 via the bus 15 and the controller 16. The controller 16 receives an instruction from the control unit 100 and controls the operation unit 21, the operator display unit 22, the customer display unit 23, the printing unit 24, the card reading unit 25, and the code reader 30. For convenience of explanation, it will be described that the control unit 100 performs the control performed by the controller 16.

Further, the control unit 100 is connected to the communication unit 31 via the bus 15. The communication unit 31 is electrically connected to another POS terminal 1 installed in the store or a store server (not shown) via a communication line. The store server is electrically connected to all POS terminals 1 installed in the store, and collects product information and payment information from each POS terminal 1. The store server transmits the product information and the payment information collected from the POS terminal 1 to the headquarters server (not shown) installed in the headquarters.

Next, the configuration of the product master 142 will be described. FIG. 3 is a memory map showing an example of the product master 142 of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the product master 142 has a product code unit 1421, a product name unit 1422, a unit price unit 1423, a temperature division unit 1424, and a volume unit 1425. The product code unit 1421 stores a product code that identifies the product. The product name unit 1422 stores the product name of the product specified by the product code. The unit price unit 1423 stores the unit price (price) of the product specified by the product code.

The temperature classification unit 1424 stores the temperature classification (either refrigerated, frozen, or normal) of the product specified by the product code. A product whose temperature classification is refrigerated is a product that needs to be refrigerated, stored, and delivered. That is, products whose temperature classification is refrigerated must be delivered by a delivery vehicle equipped with a refrigerator. A product whose temperature classification is frozen is a product for which the product needs to be frozen, stored, and delivered. That is, a product whose temperature classification is frozen is a product that needs to be delivered by a delivery vehicle equipped with a freezer. A product whose temperature classification is normal is a product that can be stored and delivered at a normal temperature without refrigerating or freezing. That is, a product having a normal temperature classification is a product that can be delivered by a delivery vehicle without a refrigerator or a freezer.

For products whose temperature classification is refrigerated, information indicating that the product is refrigerated (for example, the number "1" indicating refrigeration) is stored in the temperature classification unit 1424. For products whose temperature classification is frozen, information indicating that the product is frozen (for example, the number "2" indicating freezing) is stored in the temperature classification unit 1424. For products whose temperature classification is normal, information indicating that the temperature classification is normal (for example, the number "3" indicating normal) is stored in the temperature classification unit 1424.

The volume unit 1425 stores the volume of the product. Volume refers to the size of the space occupied by the product. Large-volume products occupy a lot of space in the delivery box. Goods with a small volume do not occupy much space in the delivery box. That is, once the volume of the product is known, it is possible to estimate how large a box is required to store the product. When storing a plurality of products in one box, if the total volume of the products is known, it is possible to estimate how large the box is required.

Note that FIG. 3 shows a product code unit 1421, a product name unit 1422, a unit price unit 1423, a temperature classification unit 1424, and a volume unit 1425 for one product stored in the product master 142.

6 to 8 are flowcharts showing the flow of control processing of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 100 determines whether or not a product code specifying a product has been input from the code reader 30 (S11). If it is determined that the product code has been input (Yes in S11), the control unit 100 executes the sales registration process based on the input product code (S12). Specifically, the control unit 100 reads the product information corresponding to the input product code from the product master 142, and stores the product information in the product information unit 131. That is, the control unit 100 reads the product code from the product code unit 1421 and stores it in the product information unit 131. Further, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product name unit 1422 and stores it in the product information unit 131. Further, the control unit 100 reads the unit price of the product specified by the product code from the unit price unit 1423 and stores it in the product information unit 131. Further, the control unit 100 (temperature classification specifying means 101) reads the temperature classification of the product from the temperature classification unit 1424 and stores it in the product information unit 131. That is, the control unit 100 specifies a temperature category suitable for the product to be delivered. Further, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the volume unit 1425 and stores it in the product information unit 131. Next, the control unit 100 executes a delivery slip creation process (S13). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the delivery slip creation process executed by the control unit 100 in S13. As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 100 (temperature classification determination means) determines the temperature of the product registered for sales in S12 based on the temperature classification stored in the product information unit 131, which is suitable for transporting the product. Determines whether or not is refrigerated (S41). When it is determined that the temperature classification is refrigerated (Yes in S41), the control unit 100 reads the product name and volume of the product stored in the product information unit 131 from the product master 142, and the refrigerated product unit. It is stored in 1441 (S42). That is, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores it in the product name unit 14411 of the refrigerated product unit 1441. Further, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores it cumulatively in the total volume unit 14412 of the refrigerated product unit 1441. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

If it is determined that the temperature classification of the product is not refrigerated (No in S41), the control unit 100 (temperature classification determination means) stores the product registered for sales in S12 in the product information unit 131. Based on the temperature classification, it is determined whether or not the temperature classification suitable for transporting the product is refrigeration (S43). When it is determined that the temperature classification is frozen (Yes in S43), the control unit 100 stores the product name and volume of the product stored in the product information unit 131 in the frozen product unit 1442 (S44). That is, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores it in the product name unit 14421 of the frozen product unit 1442. Further, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores it cumulatively in the total volume unit 144222 of the frozen product unit 1442. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

If it is determined that the temperature classification of the product is not frozen (No in S43), the control unit 100 considers that the temperature classification suitable for transporting the product is normal, and the product is registered for sales in S12. The product name and volume of the product stored in the product information unit 131 are stored in the normal product unit 1443 (S45). That is, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores it in the product name unit 14431 of the normal product unit 1443. Further, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores it cumulatively in the total volume unit 14432 of the normal product unit 1443. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

In this way, the control unit 100 divides the product names and volumes of all the products whose sales have been registered in S12 into the temperature categories of the respective products, and divides the product names and volumes into the temperature categories of the products, and the refrigerated product unit 1441, the frozen product unit 1442, and the normal product unit. Allocate to 1443 and memorize. Then, the product name unit 14411 stores the product names of all the products whose temperature classification is refrigerated among the products registered for sales in S12. The total volume unit 14412 stores the total volume of all the products whose temperature classification is refrigerated among the products registered for sales in S12. Further, the product name unit 14421 stores the product names of all the products whose temperature classification is frozen among the products registered for sales in S12. The total volume unit 14422 stores the total volume of all the products whose temperature classification is frozen among the products registered for sales in S12. Further, the product name unit 14431 stores the product names of all the products whose temperature classification is normal among the products whose sales have been registered in S12. The total volume unit 14432 stores the total volume of the total volume of all the products whose temperature classification is normal among the products registered for sales in S12.

Returning to the description of FIG. If it is determined in S11 that the product code for specifying the product has not been input (No in S11), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the settlement key 211 has been operated (S21). When it is determined that the settlement key 211 has been operated (Yes in S21), the control unit 100 executes a settlement process for the transaction based on the product information stored in the product information unit 131 (S22). In the process of S22, the control unit 100 (receipt issuing means 103) issues a receipt in which the product information and the settlement information of the product for which the sales registration process has been processed are printed on the receipt paper. In the settlement process of S22, the receipt number specifying the issued receipt is printed on the receipt. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

If it is determined that the settlement key 211 has not been operated (No in S21), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the delivery key 212 has been operated (S31). When the customer wishes to deliver the product, the operator operates the delivery key 212 after the settlement of the transaction is completed.

If it is determined that the delivery key 212 has been operated (Yes in S31), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the settlement processing in S22 for the transaction has been completed before the delivery key 212 is operated. (S32). For example, the settled flag is set for the transaction for which the settlement process is executed in S22. When the settled flag is set, the control unit 100 determines that the settlement of the transaction for which the product is desired to be delivered has been completed.

If it is determined that the settlement has been completed (Yes in S32), the control unit 100 executes the delivery slip issuing process for the transaction that has been settled immediately before (S33). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the settlement has not been completed (No in S32), the control unit 100 sends an error message indicating that the transaction has not been settled to the operator display unit 22 and the customer display unit 23. Is displayed in (S34). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. If it is determined that the delivery key 212 has not been operated (No in S31), the control unit 100 returns to S11.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the delivery slip issuing process executed in S33. As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the customer ID (Identification) recorded on the customer card owned by the customer is read and input by the card reading unit 25 (S51). If it is determined that the input has been made (Yes in S51), the control unit 100 reads out the customer information of the customer stored in the customer master 143 based on the input customer ID (S52). The customer information to be read is the customer's name, home address, telephone number, and the like. The customer information may include a delivery address other than the home address. In this case, from the read address, the home address or the delivery address other than the home can be selected as the delivery address for delivering the product.

If it is determined that the customer ID has not been input (No in S51), the control unit 100 inputs customer information by another method (S55). For example, the customer information registered in the net supermarket may be input. In addition, the customer may manually input the name, address, and the like. When the customer manually inputs, it is also possible to input an address other than the customer's home address registered in advance as the delivery address.

Next, the operator asks the customer for the delivery time to deliver the product. Then, the operator specifies the delivery service from the operation unit 21 based on the time specified by the customer. The control unit 100 determines whether or not the delivery service has been designated (S53). The control unit 100 waits until it is designated (No in S53). If it is determined that the delivery service has been designated (Yes in S53), the control unit 100 determines the designated delivery service (S54).

Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the refrigerated product information is stored in the refrigerated product unit 1441 (S61). When the product name of the refrigerated product is stored in the product name unit 14411 and the total volume is stored in the total volume unit 14412, the control unit 100 stores the information of the refrigerated product in the refrigerated product unit 1441. Judge. When it is determined that the refrigerated product information is stored in the refrigerated product unit 1441 (Yes in S61), the control unit 100 (box determining means 104) determines the size of the box for storing the refrigerated product (Yes). S62).

The control unit 100 determines the size of the box for storing the refrigerated product based on the total volume stored in the total volume unit 14412. In the case of the embodiment, for example, a box having three sizes of large, medium, and small (hereinafter, a large box is "box large", a medium size box is "inside a box", and a small size box is "box". It is possible to determine a box of any size from (called "small"). The limited volume that can be stored in a box of each size is predetermined.

The control unit 100 first compares the total volume stored in the total volume unit 14412 with the limited volume of the box small. If the total volume is less than or equal to the small box limit, the box for storing the refrigerated products is determined to be small. On the other hand, when the total volume exceeds the limited volume of the small box, the control unit 100 then compares the total volume with the limited volume in the box. If the total volume is less than or equal to the limit volume in the box, the box for storing the refrigerated products is determined to be in the box. On the other hand, when the total volume exceeds the limit volume in the box, the control unit 100 then compares the total volume with the limit volume of the box size. If the total volume is less than or equal to the box-sized limit, the box for storing refrigerated products is determined to be box-sized. If the total volume exceeds the box-sized limit, the refrigerated products will be stored in multiple boxes.

The size of the box for storing the frozen products and the size of the box for storing the normal products, which will be described later, are also determined in the same manner.

Next, the control unit 100 (slip issuing means 102) controls the printing unit 24 to print the product name of the refrigerated product stored in the product name unit 14411 and the size of the box determined in S62 on the receipt paper. Then, a delivery slip for refrigerated products is issued (S63).

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a delivery slip for refrigerated products issued in S63. As shown in FIG. 9, the delivery slip R1 for the refrigerated product includes the character R11 of the "delivery slip (refrigerated product)" indicating that it is the delivery slip of the refrigerated product, the address R12 of the delivery destination of the refrigerated product, and the refrigerated product. Recipient R13, delivery service information R14 of the designated refrigerated product, product name R15 of the refrigerated product stored in the box, and delivery source name R16 for delivering the refrigerated product are printed. In the example of FIG. 9, the product names of the products A, B, and C, which are refrigerated products, are printed. Further, the character R17 indicating the size of the box for storing the refrigerated product is printed on the delivery slip R1. In the example of FIG. 9, as the size of the box, "large" characters indicating a large size box are printed. When the control unit 100 issues the delivery slip R1 for the refrigerated product in S63, the control unit 100 erases the product information stored in the refrigerated product unit 1441. That is, the control unit 100 erases the product name of the refrigerated product stored in the product name unit 14411 and the total volume of the refrigerated product stored in the total volume unit 14412.
