Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a weighing system with a data transfer function.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In a supermarket, as shown in FIG. 2, the store A is provided with a showcase 1 for measuring and selling meat and the like, and an in-store shelf 2 on which products whose selling prices are displayed in advance are arranged. On the showcase 1, a toll scale 3 with a label printer is placed.

The customer who purchases the meat asks the staff at the place of the showcase 1 to measure and package the desired product in the required amount. Ask them to attach a sticker with the sales price printed on them. Customers bring this to the cashier counter 4 and are settled.

As the operation of the charge balance 3, a store clerk inputs a PLU code, reads out a price (unit price) per unit weight and a product name code from the PLU memory, and weighs a desired product in a required amount. In this case, the unit price and the product name code are transferred to the central host computer 6 online via the communication line 5.

The host computer 6 collects the transferred data and uses it for ordering products. The office B, which is separated from the store A, is provided with a data entry device 7 that is online connected to the communication line 5. The sales staff who visits the store A, inspects the store shelves 2 and collects the sales. It is used to input the situation (shortage of each product).

FIG. 3 shows a data transmission system of the toll scale 3, the data entry device 7, and the host computer 6. The charge balance 3 includes a label printer unit 8, a charge balance unit 9 for instructing the label printer unit 8 to calculate a selling price based on the PLU data and issue a label based on the PLU data and the selling price, and at least the selling price. It is composed of a communication unit 10 as an interface for putting data of product name and sales volume on the communication line 5.

The data entry device 7 is composed of a data entry section 11 that receives inputs of product names and necessary amounts and totalizes them, and a communication section 12 as an interface for putting the totals of the data entry section 11 on the communication line 5. Has been done.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In such a conventional configuration, it is troublesome to bring back the sales situation data obtained in the store A to the office B to operate the data entry device 7.

An object of the present invention is to provide a weighing system with a data transfer function that can transfer the sales situation of the in-store shelf 2 from the store to the host computer 6 without returning to the office B.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The weighing system with a data transfer function of the present invention transfers the weighing data and the product name code to the host computer via the communication unit for aggregation and provides a handy terminal for transmitting information, and the input side of the communication unit is provided. It is characterized by having a receiving unit for receiving a signal from the handy terminal.

[0011]

[Action]

 According to this configuration, the sales status of the in-store shelves is collected at the handy terminal and transmitted to the receiving unit provided in the weighing system in the store, so that the sales status of the in-store shelves is measured. It is transferred to the host computer via the communication section of.

[0012]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. It should be noted that components having the same functions as those of the conventional example shown in FIGS.

The weighing system with a data transfer function of the present invention is configured as shown in FIG. The toll balance 3 installed in the store A is provided with a reception unit 14 of the handy terminal 13, and the output of this reception unit 14 is connected to the input side of the communication unit 10.

With this configuration, a clerk who goes around the store A carries the handy terminal 13, inspects the store shelves 2 and finds a product that needs to be replenished, and enters the handy terminal 13 every time. The store clerk who has completed the input of the sales situation instructs the handy terminal 13 to discharge the data, and the data is transmitted by the modulated light. The modulated light is received by the receiver 14 in the same store A, demodulated, and transferred to the host computer 6 via the communication unit 10.

In this way, the sales situation of the products on the in-store shelf 2 in the in-store A can be entered in the host computer 6, so that the clerk can be released from the trouble of operating the data entry device 7 while returning to the office B. ..

Further, since the communication unit 10 of the toll balance 3 is effectively used, the device is simple. In the above embodiment, the handy terminal 13 is described as keying in the data.However, when a reader for reading the barcode attached to the product is provided, the product name is scanned and read by the reader, and only the number of products is read. Configured to key in. Further, although it has been described that the data is transmitted by modulated light, the same applies to the case where the data is transmitted by a radio frequency wave.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the weighing data and the product name code are transferred to the host computer via the communication unit to be aggregated, and the handy terminal for transmitting the information is provided, and the input side of the communication unit is provided. Since the receiving unit that receives the signal from the handy terminal is provided, the sales situation of the shelves in the store is collected in the handy terminal and transmitted to the receiving unit provided in the weighing system in the store. Thus, the sales situation of the in-store shelves can be transferred to the host computer via the communication section of the weighing system, and the clerk can be relieved from the trouble of returning to the office and operating the data entry device 7.
