Description

POS (point of sale) cash register system and automatic change-giving machine control method of POS cash register system
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a Point of sale (POS) cash registering system and an automatic change-giving machine control method for a POS cash registering system, in which a plurality of automatic change-giving machines are connected to 1 POS cash registering device and parallel processing is performed, by effectively using a created change-giving machine driver software asset.
Background
In recent supermarkets, convenience stores, and the like, cash register systems in which automatic change machines are connected to POS terminals are used. The automatic change machine receives bills or coins deposited by a customer and stores them in a storage cabinet, and pays out change from the storage cabinet according to a money-out instruction from a POS terminal. On the other hand, the POS terminal is equipped with POS application software for performing information processing of the terminal itself and information transmission and reception processing of the connected change vending machine. The POS application displays the processing status of money received and paid from the automatic change machine on an operation display screen such as a touch panel provided in the POS terminal, and notifies the cashier of the information.
Here, a driver software is required to connect the POS terminal and the change machine. For example, patent document 1 describes a technique for transmitting and receiving data between a POS terminal and a change machine via an OPOS driver based on the OPOS (open Point Of service) standard, which is a standardized driver for a POS device interface and an application service interface in a Windows (registered trademark) environment.
Patent document 2 describes a cash register system in which a cash register is connected to a cash register terminal, wherein driver software of the cash register terminal has an interactive interface function of the cash register, and an operation instruction to the cash register is received by the driver software at an operation instruction section, and information is displayed. Thus, the application software of the cash register terminal does not need to be added or changed for the operation instruction and the information display of the change machine.
Patent document 3 describes a technique in which a connection control device is provided between the POS terminal and the change machine, and the connection control device converts commands, status codes, data, and the like.
However, when the POS checkout terminal controls the change machine connected to the POS checkout terminal, there is the aforementioned OPOS standard in which POS application software is standardized in order to enable the change machine to be connected regardless of the model of the change machine including different manufacturers. In the OPOS standard, each manufacturer provides the change machine driver software that absorbs different parts of the change machine hardware, thereby enabling the POS application software of the OPOS standard to be standardized. By developing POS application software complying with the OPOS standard, even when a change machine model is updated in a manufacturer, it is possible to complete a change of the POS application software as much as necessary. In addition, by developing POS application software complying with the OPOS standard, even when it is intended to connect change machines of different manufacturers to the POS checkout terminal, connection can be easily made by using change machine driver software of the connected change machine.
Patent document 1: japanese unexamined patent publication No. 2009-199188
Patent document 2: japanese unexamined patent application publication No. 2010-140142
Patent document 3: japanese patent application laid-open No. 2011-128831
However, the aforementioned OPOS standard is contrived on the premise of a configuration in which 1 automatic change machine is wired for each 1 POS register, and the exclusive control of the automatic change machines is restricted so that only 1 automatic change machine can be controlled in 1 POS register.
On the other hand, in recent POS cashier systems, systems for performing payment of purchased commodities from wireless portable terminals such as tablet personal computers having wireless functions are also becoming widespread. In order to cope with the change Of the system, the wspos (WEB Service Point Of Service) that can cope with WEB is planned and established in the OPOS standard.
When a POS checkout system corresponding to the WSPOS is constructed, POS application software and driver software need to be newly developed.
Here, in the case of applying the system of the WSPOS standard, it is desirable that a plurality of automated change giving machines are connected to 1 POS register to perform parallel processing without exclusive control of the automated change giving machines, and it is desirable that the labor and time required for software development in this case can be reduced.

In the POS checkout system according to the present invention, the change machine drive identification information is subject to assignment information, category information, and a semaphore.
In the POS checkout system according to the present invention, the change register driver software is stored in advance, the change register driver software having different upper limit number of change register driver identification information connectable to the 1 POS checkout device.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(embodiment mode 1)
Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a POS checkout system according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. In addition, the POS checkout system is applied to large stores and the like, and as shown in fig. 1, a plurality of automatic change machines 2 (2-1 to 2-n) can be connected to 1 POS checkout 1, and a plurality of portable wireless terminals 3 (3-1 to 3-m) such as a tablet pc can be connected thereto. Moreover, the plurality of wireless terminals 3 can simultaneously perform parallel processing on the plurality of change machines 2 assigned respectively.
The POS checkout device 1 includes wireless terminal driver software 10, an application control unit 20, a drive control unit 30, an input/output unit 40, and a storage unit 50. The wireless terminal driver software 10 is connected to the wireless terminals 3 (3-1 to 3-m) via the wireless communication ports 60 (60-1 to 60-m), respectively, and is connected to the application control unit 20.
The application control unit 20 has a plurality of POS application software 21 (21-1 to 21-m) that are activated in response to an instruction from the wireless terminal 3 or the input/output unit 40. The POS application software 21 is, for example, software corresponding to the WSPOS standard. The allocation processing unit 22 performs processing for allocating 1 change machine driver software 31 from among the plurality of change machine driver software 31 (31-1 to 31-n) that perform connection processing for the currently connected change machines 2 (2-1 to 2-n) based on an instruction input from the input/output unit 40 or automatically allocating the change machine driver software 31 based on the operation state and/or the operation priority order of the change machine 2 to the activated POS application software 21. In fig. 1, the POS application 21-1 and change machine driver 31-1 are assigned 1 to 1 and the POS application 21-2 and change machine driver 31-2 are assigned 1 to 1, but this assignment is an example, and for example, as shown by the broken line in fig. 1, the POS application 21-1 and change machine driver 31-2 may be assigned 1 to 1 and the POS application 21-2 and change machine driver 31-1 may be assigned 1 to 1.
The drive control unit 30 includes a plurality of change giving machine driver software 31 (31-1 to 31-n) that is activated when the automatic change giving machines 2 (2-1 to 2-n) are connected to the communication ports COM (COM1 to COMn). The storage unit 50 holds an upper limit number (n) of the change giving machine drivers 51 (51-1 to 51-n) in advance, and the change giving machine driver connection processing unit 32 performs processing for reading the change giving machine drivers 51 as the change giving machine drivers 31 into the drive control unit 30 one by one and distributing the read change giving machine drivers 31 to the change giving machines 2 connected to the communication port COM each time the change giving machines 2 are connected. In embodiment 1, the change machines 2 are locally connected to the communication ports COM via RS-232C cables, for example.
However, in embodiment 1, a case will be described in which the automatic change machines 2 (2-1 to 2-n) are all of the same model, the automatic change machines 2 can all perform connection processing using the same change machine driver software, and the POS application software 21 controls different automatic change machines 2. In addition, the same change machine driver software is a program component, such as DLL (Dynamic Link Library) running on OS of Windows (registered trademark). In this case, if a plurality of change machines 2 are connected to the same change machine driver software, the change machine driver software cannot determine the connection relationships between the connected change machines 2 and the connected POS application software 21.
Therefore, in embodiment 1, the money selector driver software is configured to incorporate principal dispatch information D1 (D1-1 to D1-n), class (class) information D2 (D2-1 to D2-n), and semaphore object (semaphore object) D3 (D3-1 to D3-n) as money selector driver identification information for specifying the connection relationship between the connected automatic money selector 2 and the connected POS application software 21. The master assignment information D1 (D1-1 to D1-n), the category information D2 (D2-1 to D2-n), and the semaphore object D3 (D3-1 to D3-n) are different information among the change machine drivers 31.
Specifically, the master assignment information D1 and the category information D2 are the master assignment information Dl-1, D1-2 and the category information D2-1, D2-2 shown in fig. 2 and 3, respectively, which are information defining the device identification of the connected automatic change giving machine 2. The master assignment information D1 is a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), and the category information D2 is information defining the category (classification) of the original change machine driver software except the change machine driver identification information. That is, the master assignment information D1 and the category information D2 are identification information of the change machines 2 of the same model partially connected on the side of the POS register 1.
In addition, the semaphore object D3 is, specifically, the semaphore objects D3-1 and D3-2 shown in fig. 2 and 3, and is information defining the connection relationship between the POS application 21 and the change machine driver 31. The change machine driver software 31 is the same software except for the change machine driver identification information, and therefore, information of the same event from the automatic change machine 2 side is all converted into the same information and transmitted to the POS application software 21 side. In addition, all the change machine drivers 31 can receive the information sent from the POS application 21 side to the change machine 2 side. Therefore, the distribution processing unit 22 uses the semaphore object D3 to perform a process of associating one POS application 21 with one change machine driver 31. For example, the assignment processing unit 22 associates the POS application 21-1 with the change machine driver 31-1 using the semaphore object D3-1, and only the POS application 21-1 can receive information output from the change machine driver 31-1 and only the change machine driver 31-1 can receive information output from the POS application 21-1. In other words, the semaphore object D3 is definition information for distinguishing the same transmission/reception signal between the POS application 21 and the change machine driver 31. By using the semaphore object D3, each activated POS application 21 can independently control each change machine 2.
By incorporating such change-giving machine driver identification information (the master assignment information D1, the category information D2, and the semaphore object D3) into the same change-giving machine driver software, even when a plurality of automatic change-giving machines 2 of the same model are connected, the respective POS application software 21 can simultaneously and independently control the respective automatic change-giving machines 2 connected to the desired communication port COM in parallel.
(drive distribution processing by the distribution processing section 22)
Here, the drive (driver) allocation processing procedure performed by the allocation processing unit 22 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in fig. 4. First, the assignment processing unit 22 determines whether the POS application 21 is activated (step S101). When the POS application 21 is not activated (no at step S101), the determination process at step S101 is repeated. On the other hand, when the POS application 21 is activated (yes in step S101), it is determined whether or not an instruction to allocate the change machine 2 to be connected is input, based on an instruction input from the wireless terminal 3 or the input/output unit 40 (step Sl 02).
In the case where the dispensing instruction is input (yes at step S102), the change machine driver software 31 for connecting the instructed automatic change machine 2 is dispensed (step S103), and the process proceeds to step S101.
On the other hand, when the assignment instruction is not input (no at step Sl02), the assignment processing unit 22 automatically assigns the activated POS application 21 (step S104), and the process proceeds to step S101. For example, the assignment processing unit 22 automatically assigns the activated POS application software 21 to a predetermined change machine driver software 31 based on the operation state and/or operation priority order of the automatic change machine 2 connected to the POS register 1. The operation state of the change machine 2 is, for example, whether or not the operation state of the change machine 2 is idle, and the allocation processing unit 22 preferentially allocates the idle change machine 2. Whether the change machine 2 is idle or not can be determined by whether the change machine 2 is in the "OPEN" state or not, and is "idle" when the change machine is not in the "OPEN" state. The operation priority of the change machines 2 is a preset operation priority of the change machines 2, and the allocation processing unit 22 allocates the change machines 2 in the order of higher operation priority.
The assignment processing unit 22 is provided in the application control unit 20, but the assignment processing unit 22 may be provided in each POS application 21. In this case, the allocation processing section 22 can be realized as a program component by expanding the DLL file described above.
(drive connection processing by the change giving machine drive connection processing section 32)
Here, the drive connection processing procedure performed by the change giving machine drive connection processing unit 32 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in fig. 5. First, the change machine drive connection processing unit 32 determines whether or not it is detected that the automatic change machine 2 is connected to the communication port COM (step S201). When the change machine drive connection processing unit 32 does not detect that the automatic change machine 2 is connected to the communication port COM (no at step S201), the determination processing at step S201 is repeated. On the other hand, when the change machine driver connection processing unit 32 detects that the automatic change machine 2 is connected to the communication port COM (yes at step S201), one change machine driver software 31 is assigned to be connected to the detected communication port COM (step S202), and the process proceeds to step S201. The change machine driver software 31 is distributed by the change machine driver connection processing section 32 by reading the unused change machine driver software 51 in the storage section 50 and distributing the read change machine driver software 51 as one change machine driver software 31 corresponding to one automatic change machine 2 connected to the communication port COM.
Preferably, the POS application 21 defines a different logical name for the connected change machine 2 using the change machine driver identification information. This makes it possible, for example, to display to the user, in a user-friendly manner, whether or not the change machine 2-1 is connected to the communication port COM1 and is in the "OPEN" state, using the logical name, on the POS application 21.
(embodiment mode 2)
In the above-described embodiment 1, the change machine driver software 31 having different change machine driver identification information is held in the storage unit 50 in advance by the upper limit number (n) of connections to the POS register 1, and the unused change machine driver software 31 is allocated to the connected change machine 2 every time the change machine 2 is connected to the communication port COM. In embodiment 2, every time the automatic change machine 2 is connected to the POS register 1, different change machine driver identification information is generated, and the change machine driver software 31 incorporating the generated change machine driver identification information is distributed to the connected automatic change machine 2.
Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the POS checkout system according to embodiment 2 of the present invention. The storage unit 50 of the POS register 1 shown in fig. 6 stores the change machine driver software 52, and the references of the change machine driver software 52 are the empty column D1-0 in which the master assignment information D1 is incorporated, the empty column D2-0 in which the category information D2 is incorporated, and the empty column D3-0 in which the semaphore object D3 is incorporated. The change-giving machine drive connection processing unit 33 corresponding to the change-giving machine drive connection processing unit 32 generates different master assignment information D1, type information D2, and semaphore object D3 each time the automatic change-giving machine 2 is connected, and assigns the change-giving machine drive software 31 (31-1 to 31-n) in which the generated master assignment information D1, type information D2, and semaphore object D3 are respectively incorporated in the empty fields D1-0, D2-0, and D3-0.
(drive connection processing by change giving machine drive connection processing section 33)
Here, the drive connection processing procedure performed by the change giving machine drive connection processing unit 33 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in fig. 7. First, the change machine drive connection processing unit 33 determines whether or not it is detected that the automatic change machine 2 is connected to the communication port COM (step S301). When the automatic change machine 2 is detected to be connected to the communication port COM (yes at step S301), the change machine driver connection processing unit 33 generates the master assignment information D1, the category information D2, and the semaphore object D3, which are different from the other change machine driver software 31 connected thereto (step S302). The change-giving machine drive connection processing unit 33 also stores the generated master assignment information D1, the category information D2, and the semaphore object D3 in the empty column D1-0, the empty column D2-0, and the empty column D3-0 of the change-giving machine driver software 51, assigns the change-giving machine driver software 31 to the detected communication port COM (step S303), and proceeds to step S301. When the connection of the automatic change machine 2 to the communication port COM is not detected (no at step S301), the determination process at step S301 is repeated.
In addition, when the change machine driver software 31 is updated, the different change machine driver identification information is added only to the updated reference change machine driver software, and therefore, the change machine driver software can be easily developed at the time of updating.
In the above-described embodiments 1 and 2, the case where the plurality of change dispensers 2 of the same model are connected to the POS register 1 has been described, but different models of other manufacturers may be connected. In this case, since the communication process between the change giving machine of a different model from another manufacturer and the change giving machine driver software of the model may be different from that of the automatic change giving machine 2, the change giving machine driver connection processing units 32 and 33 may select and start software corresponding to the change giving machine driver software of the model other than the manufacturer with reference to the type information D2 and the like when the change giving machine of the model other than the manufacturer is connected to the communication port COM.
The wireless terminal 3 may remotely operate the POS application 21 on the POS register 1 through a browser, or may download the POS application 21.
The change machines 2 are locally connected to the communication ports COM via RS-232C cables, for example, but may be connected via LAN cables or may be connected via a hub.
The change machine driver software 31, the change machine driver connection processing units 32 and 33, and the distribution processing unit 22 described above distribute the programs in an encrypted or compressed state via a line such as the internet or via a storage medium.
In the above-described embodiments 1 and 2, a plurality of automatic change machines 2 can be connected to 1 POS register 1 to perform parallel processing simultaneously. In this case, the plurality of change machine driver softwares can be generated by merely incorporating the change machine driver identification information into the created change machine driver softwares, and the created change machine driver software assets can be effectively utilized, so that labor and time required for software development can be reduced.
