JPS58121473A - Radio input register - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate inconvenience, such as taking a long time for cash registration, and keeping customers wait for a long time, by inputting the item, price, etc., of the order to a register by a waiter through a radio, when the customer orders the waiter for a meal or a drink. CONSTITUTION:A waiter carrying a transmitter 2 with him goes to a table and asks a customer his order, and then, he inputs the table No.23, the ordered item code, quantity, etc., as money data through the keyboard of the transmitter 2. These money data are transmitted to the reception controlling section 3 of a register main body 1 through a radio wave, and stored in a memory 6 through a data bus 5 and an operation processing section 4. When the customer goes to the cashier after finishing his meal, the cashier inputs the table No. through an operating section 7 and issues a command for operation. The operation processing section 4 reads out money data from the memory 6 and calculates the amount to be paid by the customer, and then displays the calculated result on a display 8. At the same time, a printer 9 prints out a receipt.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a register used in eating establishments such as restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.

Currently, when a customer first sits at a table at a restaurant or coffee shop and tells a waiter or waitress about their order, the clerk writes down the ordered items and their prices on a slip, and then requests additional orders. When the customer goes to the store, the customer continues to enter additional order items and prices on the same slip. When my friend brought the slip to the cash register (hereinafter referred to as the cash register), the cashier saw the slip and registered the money in the register and billed the customer.However, At this fancy restaurant, customers rush to the cash register to pay for food and drinks, and when the customers who have placed many orders place their food at the cash register, the cashier registers multiple items and the prices for those items. This creates the inconvenience of having to input money into the account and registering the money, which takes time and makes customers wait for long periods of time.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and when a customer orders food and drink from a waiter, waitress, etc., the clerk immediately registers the food and drink items at the register on the spot. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, which provide a register in which items, prices, etc. can be entered.

The figure is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the wireless input register of the present invention, in which (1) two register main bodies, 121+21.
. . shows a transmitter tube that transmits financial data such as sales items, quantities, table numbers, etc. to this register body (1) by radio waves, sound waves, etc., and is made small and portable.

13+r! , a reception control section 141, which is provided in the register main body (1) and receives monetary data from each transmitter +21121..., connected to this reception control section 13) by a data bus (5); Represents a ratio calculation processing unit, which calculates the billing amount to be charged to the customer. (6) is connected to this calculation processing unit 14), and stores the unit price corresponding to the item code of food and drink. This memory (6
), the table number, f′Lfe consumed in the table
The item code of the item, its quantity, etc. are also stored correspondingly.
(7) is the arithmetic processing unit; connected to 4) via the data bus (5) is a sophisticated operation unit that performs input of financial data to be registered and calculation of the amount to be charged to the customer.

(8) is a display device that displays the unit price of the item to be registered and the amount billed to the customer; +9) a printer that prints out the I-J receipt.

Next, the reception control section of the transmitter +21121...
3) A method of wirelessly transmitting monetary data to the client will be explained.

First, each transmitter +21, +21... is provided with a keyboard (not shown) for inputting gold and silver data, and a temporary storage section (not shown) for temporarily storing this monetary data.1. ◎In response to this, the reception control unit (3) sends signals to each transmitter +21+21 in a time-sharing manner, for example every 0.1 seconds.
Receiving data signals sent wirelessly from...? Depending on this, each transmitter 121+ can be enabled sequentially.
21...Sends a transmission permission signal that permits transmission of a data signal and a transmission prohibition signal that commands prohibition of transmission of a data signal. Then, when monetary data is entered on the keyboard of the transmitter (2), this monetary data is input to the transmitter (2).
2) stored in the temporary storage section 1, the reception restriction section (3)
When a transmission permission signal is sent to this transmitter (2) from
) is transmitted to nru0 Mayu, reception control unit (3) from transmitter 121121...
) As another method of transmitting monetary data to
Therefore, the system is designed to transmit monetary data on radio waves of different frequencies, and each transmitter 12 + 121 is installed in the reception control section (3).
A plurality of receivers (not shown) for receiving monetary data corresponding to the frequency of radio waves from ... and a temporary memory circuit (not shown) corresponding to each receiver are provided, and each transmitter ( 2)
(2) By manually inputting monetary data, these data are sent to each transmitter +
21121... and stored in the corresponding temporary storage circuits, and the monetary data stored in the respective temporary storage circuits is sequentially sent to the data bus (5) through the arithmetic processing unit (41) in a time-sharing manner. The configuration is such that the signal is sent to the memory (6). Next, the operation will be explained.0 First, let's say that a customer enters the store and takes a seat at table 239. The 9-Eighter carrying his phone goes to table 23 and asks the customer for an order.When the customer orders, for example, an omelet, the waiter uses the keyboard of the transmitter (2) to input the table number 7!5 and the item code for the omelet, for example.
105, input the quantity 1 as monetary data. If this input is 1, the monetary data (23, 105, 1) of n and others is transmitted by radio waves to the reception control unit (3) to the register body (1), and then to the data bus 15) and the arithmetic processing unit 141? : Stored in the memory (6) via. Furthermore, when a customer at the 25TR team eats an omelet and orders coffee, the waiter will, as mentioned above, enter the table number 23, the coffee item code, for example 204, and the keyboard of the number 1 liter transmitter (2). As a result, the monetary data (23, 204, 1) is stored in the memory (6) of the register body +11 by the same operation as described above.

After drinking coffee, when the customer at table 26 went to the cash register to pay, the cashier asked for table number 23.
r operation unit 17), and when two lines of calculation commands are zeroed, the calculation processing unit (4) stores monetary data (26, 105, 1) and (26, 204, 1) t-find, item code 105
204r is used to select the unit price of an omelet, e.g. 420 yen, and the unit price of coffee, e.g. 250 yen, from memory (6) and calculate the payment amount of 670 yen.When the payment amount is calculated, the display device + 81ri is selected. Payment @67
0 yen is displayed and the printer (9) prints the blank sheet. The cashier then looks at the display on the display device 18) and asks the customer for the payment amount of 670 yen. As described above, the wireless input register of the present invention wirelessly receives a signal that causes the register body to register monetary data. It also includes a portable transmitter that wirelessly transmits inputted monetary data to the reception control section, and uses the transmitter to transmit data from the position η separated from the register to the register. Note that it is possible to enter monetary data, and when calculating charges, just by commanding the customer's table number, you can easily separate the money and calculate the charges. It disappears without saying 0
