Abstract

PURPOSE: To easily make sure data is already input in the cash register by displaying the latest registered commodity data bigger in the operator display section, and further by displaying previously registered commodity data for a plurality of items smaller at a time sequentially from the data for the newer item. CONSTITUTION: An operator display control unit 6 has a registered data storage section 7 that stores each input data and commodity data in order of data inputting (commodity registration order). Further, data sent from CPU 3 are sequentially stored in the sequential storage section 7, and at the same time are also displayed largely on the left-hand side 9 of the split screen of the operator display section 8. Furthermore, information stored in the registered data storage section 7 is displayed relatively small on the right-hand side 10 sequentially in order of registration from the newer to the older. By displaying the latest registered data big as mentioned above, the operator can easily ascertain commodity data immediately after registered.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention provides a
It relates to cash registers such as OS terminals and ECRs.

[Prior art]

In a cash register, information input (product registration) from an input unit such as a keyboard or a scanner is printed on a receipt and a journal, and is also displayed on a first display.

In conventional general cash registers, the information displayed on the fourth rater display was only related to the product being input or immediately after input, but recently large screens such as CRTs have been used as the operator display. The product has been registered (check/
Products that can display several items (2 to 3 items) of product information (already sold out) are becoming popular in some areas.

On the other hand, the customer display section displays only product data related to the most recently registered products.

[Problems to be solved by the present invention]

In conventional cash registers as described above, when checking past product data that has already been registered, the printed contents of the journal or receipt are used, except for some product data displayed on the operator display. I needed to see it.

When checking the data that has already been entered in the journal, it is necessary to check the journal printout through the viewing window, but since the printed content that can be checked through the journal viewing window is what was printed several items ago, it is necessary to check the journal printout. You have to feed it as far as you can see it. Furthermore, printed content that has already passed through the journal viewing window cannot be confirmed. In the case of receipts, as with journals, the data cannot be viewed immediately after printing, so it was necessary to feed the data and check it. Such confirmation work using journals and receipts significantly reduces the operating efficiency of operators during busy times. Also, since the data displayed on the customer display section is only the product data immediately after input, the customer can check the unit price of each product, but cannot know what the subtotal is at that point. . Therefore, when the input for all products is completed, it may become clear that the planned purchase amount has been exceeded, and it may become necessary to cancel the purchase of some products later. In such a case, it is necessary to delete the product data for the canceled purchase from the registered product data stored in the registered product file (not shown) and also to correct the receipt/journal printing, which is very complicated. It will be a lot of work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
The purpose is to provide a cash register machine that allows easy confirmation of already input data. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cash register in which the unit price and the subtotal of the previously registered product prices are displayed on the customer display section each time each product is registered.

[Failure to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a storage means in the cash register for sequentially storing input data and associated data (such as price data read from a PLU) in the order of input, and displays the data stored in the storage means for the operator. The above problem was solved by configuring the system so that it could be displayed on the screen.

Further, the present invention solves the above problem by configuring the unit price of the input product and the subtotal of the product prices input so far to be displayed on the customer display section at any time.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a cash register according to the present invention.

The data input from key date 1 or scanner 2 is
It is sent to the CPU 3 via the system path 13. C.P.
U3 is a PLU file (
(not shown), and calculates the cumulative total price (subtotal) of the prices of the registered products of the customer who is currently checking out. Next, the CPU 3 processes the input data and product data into print or display data and sends it to the printer control section 4, operator display control section 6, and customer display control section 11 via the system bus 13.

Data similar to conventional data is sent to the printer control unit 4, and printed on a receipt sheet, journal, etc. by the printer 5.

Subtotal data is transmitted to the customer display control unit 11 in addition to input data and product data. The customer display section 12 is configured to be able to display two levels; the upper level displays the latest input data (product name, etc.) and product data (price), and the lower level displays the subtotal.

Input data and product data are transmitted to the operator display control section 6. The operator display control unit 6 has a registered data storage unit 7 that stores each input data and product data in the order of input (product registration order), and the data sent from the CPU 3 is sequentially stored in the storage unit 7. It is stored and displayed in a large size on the left side 9 of the operator display unit 8 where the screen is divided.

Regarding the information stored in the registered data storage section 7, a plurality of items are displayed in a relatively small size on the right side (]0) of the screen, starting from the newest item in the registration order. Since the latest registered data is displayed in a large size in this way, the operator can easily check the product data immediately after registration. On the right side of the screen 10,
The subtotal of registered product prices calculated by CPTJ may be displayed at the bottom. The number of the latest registered data items displayed on the right side can be freely set. Also, if you want to check the previous date of the registered product data displayed on the right side of the screen, use the keys on the keyboard 1 to read out the previous data from the registered data storage section 7 and store it in the area 10 on the right side of the screen. (The data in the registered data storage section 7 may be sequentially read out and displayed sequentially (shift display) on the screen.)

Split display of the display screen, designation of the number of data to be displayed, reading and displaying specific data from the input data storage unit 7, shift display of the split screen, etc. are techniques well known to those skilled in the art, so no further explanation will be given here. does not require any explanation.

In addition, in this embodiment, the input data of the latest multiple items is displayed using a split-screen display, but in normal operation, only the product data immediately after registration is displayed individually, and the registered data is stored only when necessary. Part 7
It may be configured to display data stored in the.

Further, the registered data storage section 7 may be provided in the CPU 3 instead of the fourth rate display control section 6.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the registered data storage section 7 for storing input data in the input type is provided, and the past registered data can be checked immediately, thereby making it possible to check the operator. This made work easier and improved operational efficiency. Furthermore, by sequentially storing the input data in the registered data storage unit 7, the registration confirmation work when registering the system configuration performed at the time of instrumentation can be changed from confirmation by journal printout to confirmation by journal printing.
Since this can be done by checking the display on the display unit 8, the system configuration registration work can also be done efficiently. In addition, since the customer display section 12 displays not only individual items but also subtotals, customers can know the subtotal of registered product prices at any time, so if the price exceeds the planned price, the remaining It is possible to cancel the purchase of products, etc., and you can shop with peace of mind.
