[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention will be described as applied to a scale with a registration function.

FIG. 1 is an external view, where 1 is the scale body and 2 is a display capable of displaying multiple lines. The scale body 1 is provided with a keyboard 3, a card insertion slot 4, and a label issuing slot 5, respectively.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration, in which numeral 11 is a microprocessor that constitutes the main body of the control unit, and numeral 12 is a card reader that reads the customer identification code and amount stored in the prepaid card inserted through the card insertion slot 4. 13 is a communication control unit that controls communication with a prepaid card sales company via a telephone line, and 14 is a communication control unit that controls communication with a prepaid card sales company via a telephone line, for example;
The weight and price are printed on the label paper and the label is issued through the label issuing port 5.
This is a printing unit that prints labels from the printer.

In addition, 15 is a type of product code attached to each product.
A PLU file has the product name, unit price, etc. of each product corresponding to the LU (Price Look Up) code, and has a cumulative part of the price and number of items. A file for each customer stores the cumulative total of product registrations, 17 is a sales totalizer that stores the cumulative total of registrations for each product, and 18 stores service points for each customer and the name of the prize corresponding to the points in correspondence with the customer identification code. The stored prize file 19 is a data transfer memory that temporarily stores data transmitted to the telephone line via the communication control section 13.

The microprocessor 11 and each part 12.13°14,
Keyboard 3, display 2, each file 15゜16, 18
, the sales totalizer 17 and the data transfer memory 19 are electrically connected by a pass line 20.

In addition, when a load is applied to the column body 1, the voltage signal from the measuring section 21 that outputs a voltage signal corresponding to the load is converted into an A/D converter.
The (analog/digital) converter 22 converts it into count data, and the count data is supplied to the microprocessor 11.

The microprocessor 11 is shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5.
It is set to perform the processing shown in the figure. In FIG. 3, when a prepaid card is inserted through the card insertion slot 4, the card reader 12 is controlled to read the customer identification code and amount from the prepaid card. Next, it is checked whether the read Buripay card is the correct card, and if it is the correct card, it is then checked whether the amount read is zero.

If the read amount is not zero, the card is judged to be valid, and the read amount and customer identification code are displayed on the display 2.

In this state, if the key is on standby and the same customer identification code as the code displayed from the keyboard 3 is entered as a specific code, the cumulative amount of the customer corresponding to the customer identification code is read out from the customer file 16. Display on display 2. Further, the service points of the customer corresponding to the customer identification code and the name of the prize corresponding to the points are read out from the prize file 18 and displayed on the display 2.

For example, when a PLU code is input from the keyboard 3, the product name, unit price, etc. corresponding to the PLU code are read out from the PLU file 15 and displayed on the display 2.

For example, if there is a key to issue from the keyboard 3 while weighing data has been imported, the product name, unit price, weight, etc.
Sales data such as price is output to the printing section 14. Printing section 1
In step 4, sales data is printed on label paper and a label is issued from the label issuing port 5. Next, the price is calculated based on the read unit price and the weight from the weighing section 21, and the price and points are cumulatively registered in the cumulative section of the PLU file 15 based on the PLU code, and based on the customer identification code and the PLU code. Then, the total amount of sales is registered in the customer file 16 for each customer and for each PLU code, and the total amount of sales for that customer is totaled. Furthermore, if there is a change in the service points based on the customer's total sales amount in the prize file 18, the customer's service points are rewritten and the corresponding prize name is stored.

Finally, the sales amount is subtracted from the amount read from the prepaid card, the remaining amount is recorded on the prepaid card, and the prepaid card is discharged.

In FIG. 4, when there is key human power for tabulation from the keyboard 3, the data of each customer cumulatively registered in the customer file 16 is edited for each product sales, and the sales totalizer 17
Total.

In FIG. 5, when there is a key for transmission from the keyboard 3, the data totaled by the sales totalizer 17 is temporarily stored in the data transfer memory 19, and then sent to the communication controller 13.
The information is then sent via telephone line to the prepaid card sales company.

With such a configuration, when a customer requests the purchase of a certain weighing product, the customer receives a prepaid card and inserts it into the card insertion slot 4. The customer identification code and amount are then read from the prepaid card. The customer identification code and amount are then displayed on the display 2. The customer can then know his code and the remaining amount on his card.

In this state, when a customer identification code is entered as a specific code from the keyboard 3, the total sales amount of that customer up to now is read out from the customer file 16 and displayed on the display 2, and at the same time, the customer's total sales amount is read out from the customer file 16 and displayed on the display 2. The service points and the corresponding prize names are read out and displayed on the display 2.

Thus, the customer can easily know his or her total sales amount, the corresponding service points, and the name of the prize that can be obtained with the points. Therefore, if the prize is what the customer wants, he or she can receive the prize displayed at that time.

Of course, at this time, the customer's total sales amount stored in the customer-specific file 16 and the customer's service points stored in the premium file 18 are cleared to zero.

In this way, customers can easily know their total sales amount, service points, and prizes when shopping, so they do not have to take the trouble of managing their own service points and can improve service quality.

Next, the customer registers the product to be purchased by first inputting the PLU code from the keyboard 3, and reading and displaying the product name and unit price of the product.

In this state, the product is weighed in the weighing section 21 and the issue key is operated. However, the price is calculated from the unit price and weight,
Based on the price, cumulative registration is performed in the customer-specific file 16. Furthermore, if the number of service points increases due to this cumulative total, the service points of the customer stored in the premium file 18 are rewritten. Also, if the prize changes, the prize name can also be rewritten.

Further, the product name, unit price, weight, and price are each printed on the label paper by the printing unit 14, and the label is issued from the label issuing port 5. This label will be affixed to the weighed product.

In this way, for example, if you perform a totaling operation on the keyboard 3 after accumulating one month's worth, the cumulative amount for each product of each customer stored in the customer-specific file 16 will be edited for each product and will be aggregated in the sales totalizer 17. be done. Then, when the send operation is further performed on the keyboard 3, the sales totalizer 17
The aggregated data is sent to the prepaid card sales company via telephone line. In this way, since the prepaid card sales company knows the sales of each product, it can make payments to each product manufacturing company based on that information. Further, the transmitted customer's cumulative amount data will be cleared from the customer-specific file 16.

In this way, you can manage your customers with a prepaid card.

In the above embodiment, the same customer identification code as the customer identification code recorded on the Bribay card was used as the specific code input from the keyboard, but the invention is not necessarily limited to this, and the specific code can be entered by operating a specific key. You may also be asked to input it.

Further, although the above embodiments have been described in which the present invention is applied to a scale with a registration function, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and can also be applied to a normal electronic cash register.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the invention of claim (1), the cumulative sales of each customer, the service points for the cumulative sales, and the name of the prize corresponding to the points can be easily confirmed by display. It is possible to provide a sales registration terminal that can improve service to customers.

Further, according to the invention of claim (2), it is possible to provide a sales registration terminal that improves service to customers and allows customer management using prepaid cards.
