Description of method for specifying storage location
A method of designating a storage location of a commodity will be described with reference to fig. 5 to 7. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a refrigerator 120 as a place for storing commodities. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a storage location main file F2 showing a list of storage locations of commodities. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a storage location designation screen D1 for designating a storage location of a product.
The refrigerator 120 has an upper left door 120a, an upper right door 120b, a lower left door 120c, and a lower right door 120 d. The refrigerator 120 has storage locations inside the doors. The refrigerator 120 shown in fig. 5 is an example, and the storage location is not limited to four locations.
As shown in fig. 6, the storage location master file F2 stores the storage location number 130a and the storage location name 130 b.
The storage location number 130a is an identification number uniquely associated with each storage location. The storage location name 130b indicates the name of each storage location.
In addition, a plurality of refrigerators may be used as storage places. When a plurality of refrigerators are used as storage locations, each refrigerator is given a number (for example, refrigerator a, refrigerator B,.. or the like) that uniquely specifies each refrigerator. In addition, serial numbers are given to the storage locations of the plurality of refrigerators, and the storage locations are managed by the serial numbers. Alternatively, the storage location may be managed by a combination of a number designating the refrigerator and two numbers designating the storage location in the refrigerator.
The storage location designation screen D1 is a screen displayed on the display 13 of the label printer 10. When the person in charge who operates the label printer 10 designates the storage location of the product, the person in charge operates the operation menu to display a storage location designation screen D1. The storage location designation screen D1 displays storage location candidate information 132a, 132b, 132c, 132D, 132 e. The storage location candidate information 132a, 132b, 132c, 132d, 132e shows candidates of storage locations of the products. The person in charge who operates the label printer 10 operates the touch panel 14 to select a storage location of the product. As shown in fig. 7, the display mode such as the color of the selected storage location is changed to indicate that the location is selected. Fig. 7 shows an example in which the upper right door of the refrigerator a has been selected as a storage place. When the selected storage location candidate information 132b is pressed again, the selected storage location is specified. The determined custody location is displayed on the custody location display area 134. Although the storage location candidate information 132b indicating the storage location is pressed twice to specify the storage location, the storage location selection and specification method is not limited to this. For example, the storage location candidate information 132b may be selected and specified by a single pressing operation.
Description of tag issuance performance document
Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the distribution record file F3 showing the distribution record of the label 50. The distribution record file F3 stores the product number 140a of the product, the product (food material) name 140b, the label distribution date and time 140c, the expiration date 140d, and the storage location 140 e.
The contents of each piece of information stored in the delivery result file F3 are as described above (fig. 4(a)), and therefore, the description thereof is omitted. The generated delivery record file F3 is stored in the storage unit 105, and the delivery record of the label 50 is added every time the printing execution unit 42 prints the label 50.
Description of remaining period display screen
Fig. 9 shows an example of a remaining period display screen D2 showing the remaining period from the product to the expiration date. The remaining period display screen D2 is displayed on the display 13 by operating an operation menu (not shown) of the label printer 10. The remaining period display screen D2 displays the remaining period 142 of the expiration date and the product information 142a and 142b corresponding to the selected remaining period.
The remaining period to shelf life is calculated by the remaining period calculating section 44 by subtracting the current date and time from the shelf life 140d read out from the dispensing performance file F3. The current date and time are acquired by the remaining period calculating unit 44 from a timer included in the CPU 101.
The remaining period 142 is processed, for example, corresponding to the number of days. Fig. 9 shows an example in which the person in charge has selected "two days" as the remaining period 142 to the shelf life by operating the touch panel 14. At this time, the commodities within two days until the remaining shelf life are all displayed as commodity information 142a, 142 b. Also, in fig. 9, when "one day" is selected as the remaining period to the quality guarantee period 142, the commodities within one day of the remaining period to the quality guarantee period are all displayed.
The person in charge of processing the product confirms the remaining period display screen D2 and preferentially uses the product with the near expiration date. Although not shown in fig. 9, the storage locations of the commodities may be displayed in the columns of the commodity information 142a and 142b at the same time so that the commodities to be used can be easily obtained.
Description of method for changing storage location of merchandise
Fig. 10(a), 10(b), and 10(c) are diagrams showing examples of storage location change designation screens D3a, D3b, and D3c when changing the storage location of a commodity. The storage location change designation screen D3a shown in fig. 10 a is displayed on the display 13 by an operation menu (not shown) for operating the label printer 10. Then, the person in charge operates the touch panel 14 to make a transition to the storage location change designation screen D3b in fig. 10(b) and the storage location change designation screen D3c in fig. 10 (c).
The storage location change designation screen D3a is a screen for calling a commodity whose storage location is desired to be changed and then instructing the change of the storage location. A storage location change instruction button 136 and a storage location addition instruction button 137 are displayed on the storage location change designation screen D3 a.
The storage location change instruction button 136 is a button for instructing a change of a currently designated storage location. The storage location addition instruction button 137 is a button for instructing to subdivide a part of the products already designated to the storage location into individual storage bags and to re-designate the storage locations of the subdivided products. Here, the storage location change instruction button 136 is selected.
The storage place change designation screen D3b shown in fig. 10(b) is a screen displayed when the storage place change instruction button 136 is selected on the storage place change designation screen D3 a. On the storage location change designation screen D3a, the storage location information 138 of the product C is displayed. The storage location information 138 is information indicating the storage location of the product C that has been specified.
When the person in charge selects the storage location information 138 by operating the touch panel 14, the storage location change designation screen D3b changes to the storage location change designation screen D3 c.
The storage location change designation screen D3C in fig. 10(C) is a screen for designating a new storage location of the product C. The storage place candidate information 132a, 132b, 132c, 132D, 132e is displayed on the storage place change designation screen D3 c. The storage location candidate information 132a, 132b, 132c, 132d, 132e is as described above with reference to fig. 7. The person in charge operates the touch panel 14 to select a new storage location. Fig. 10(c) shows an example in which storage location candidate information 132b indicating the upper left door of the refrigerator a is selected as a new storage location.
After that, the label 50 printed with the new storage location is printed. Further, as the storage location is changed, it is necessary to erase the information indicating the previous storage location, that is, the issue result of the old label, from the issue result file F3. Therefore, the storage location specification unit 40 deletes the delivery record of the old label from the delivery record file F3 when detecting that the storage location has been changed.
Although not shown in fig. 10, when the storage place addition instruction button 137 is selected on the storage place change designation screen D3a, the storage place change designation screens D3b and D3c are changed to specify a storage place to be added as described above. Further, when the storage location is added, the information indicating the storage location before the addition, that is, the issue record of the old label is retained, and therefore, the issue record of the old label is not deleted from the issue record file F3. Then, the additional actual results at the storage location are added to the delivery actual results file F3.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of processing performed when the label printer 10 of the first embodiment prints a label 50.
The print execution unit 42 determines whether or not there is a print instruction for the label 50 (step 10). If it is determined that there is a printing instruction of the label 50 (Yes at step S10), the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, when it is not determined that there is a printing instruction of the label 50 (No at step S10), step S10 is repeated, for example, before timeout.
When it is determined in step S10 that the printing instruction of the label 50 is given, the printing data acquisition unit 41 reads out the product name and the expiration date from the PLU file F1 (step S11).
Next, the storage location designating unit 40 designates a storage location of the product (step S12). Specific methods for designating the storage location of the product are as described above (see fig. 7).
Next, the remaining period calculating unit 44 calculates the shelf life of the product (step S13). Specifically, the remaining period calculating unit 44 acquires the current date and time from a timer included in the CPU 101. The remaining period calculating unit 44 calculates the expiration date of the product by adding the expiration date 53 (see fig. 4) of the product to the current date and time.
The printing execution unit 42 executes printing of the label 50 (step S14).
The print data storage unit 43 stores the delivery results of the label 50 and updates the delivery results file F3 (step S15). After that, the label printer 10 ends the processing of fig. 11.
Show description of flow of treatment to remaining period of shelf life
Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of processing in which the label printer 10 of the first embodiment displays the remaining time until the product reaches the expiration date.
The remaining period calculating unit 44 determines whether or not there is an instruction to confirm the expiration date (step S20). When it is determined that there is a confirmation instruction of the expiration date (Yes at step S20), the process proceeds to step S21. On the other hand, when it is not determined that there is a confirmation indication of shelf life (No at step S20), step S20 is repeated until, for example, timeout.
When it is determined in step S20 that there is a confirmation instruction of the expiration date, the remaining period calculating unit 44 reads out the delivery record file F3 from the storage unit 105 (step S21).
Next, the remaining period calculating unit 44 calculates the remaining period to the expiration date at this time point (step S22).
The information display unit 45 displays a remaining period display screen D2 indicating the remaining period to the expiration date calculated by the remaining period calculation unit 44 (step S23). After that, the label printer 10 ends the processing of fig. 12.
Description of flow of processing performed when storage location of commodity is changed
Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of processing performed by the label printer 10 according to the first embodiment when the storage location of the product is changed.
The storage location designating unit 40 determines whether or not there is an instruction to change the storage location (step S30). If it is determined that there is an instruction to change the storage location (Yes at step S30), the process proceeds to step S31. On the other hand, if it is not determined that there is an instruction to change the storage location (No at step S30), step S30 is repeated until, for example, a timeout occurs.
When it is determined in step S30 that there is an instruction to change the storage location, the print data acquisition unit 41 reads the issue result file F3 from the storage unit 105 (step S31).
The storage location designating unit 40 re-designates a storage location (step S32). The specific reassignment method is as described above (see fig. 10).
The print execution unit 42 prints the label 50 including the information of the storage location that has been re-designated (step S33).
The storage place specification section 40 determines whether or not the label 50 printed in step S33 is a label that has been reissued (step S34). If it is determined that the label 50 printed in step S33 is a label that has been reissued (Yes in step S34), the process proceeds to step S35. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the label 50 printed in step S33 is a label that has already been reissued (No in step S34), that is, a newly issued label, the process proceeds to step S36.
If it is determined at step S34 that the label 50 printed at step S33 is a label that has been reissued, the storage place specification unit 40 deletes the issuance achievement of the old label from the issuance achievement file F3 (step S35).
Then, the print data storage unit 43 updates and stores the delivery result file F3 (step S36). After that, the label printer 10 ends the processing of fig. 13.
As described above, according to the label printer 10 (printing apparatus) of the first embodiment, the print execution unit 42 (printing unit, printing means) prints, on the label 50, information including at least the name and expiration date of the product, which is attached to the product whose storage location is specified by the storage location specifying unit 40 (specifying unit, specifying means). The print data storage unit 43 (storage unit, storage means) stores the printed information, and the remaining period calculation unit 44 (calculation unit, calculation means) calculates the remaining period from the product to the expiration date at that time point based on the information stored in the print data storage unit 43. The information display unit 45 (display unit, display means) displays information relating to the product printed by the printing execution unit 42 for the remaining period. Therefore, the person in charge of processing the product can easily confirm the remaining period to the expiration date at that point in time, and can easily specify the storage location of the product. That is, the storage location and shelf life of the product can be managed with a simple configuration.
Further, according to the label printer 10 of the first embodiment, the printing execution section 42 (printing section) further prints the storage location of the product. Therefore, even when a person in charge who is different from the person in charge who has taken out the product from the storage location returns the product to the storage location, the product can be reliably returned to the designated storage location.
Further, according to the label printer 10 of the first embodiment, the storage location designating unit 40 (designating unit) also has a function of designating a change of the storage location for the product whose storage location has been designated. Therefore, the storage location can be easily changed.
Further, according to the label printer 10 of the first embodiment, the storage location designating unit 40 (designating unit) also has a function of designating a new storage location for a part of the product of which the storage location has been designated. Therefore, when a part of the product is subdivided, it is possible to easily specify the storage location of the subdivided product.

The contents of the processing of steps S40 to S44 performed by the label printer 10 are the same as those of the processing of steps S10 to S14 (see fig. 11) performed by the label printer 10 of the first embodiment, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
Next, the communication control unit 46 transmits the information printed on the label 50 to the server device 20 as a label issuance result (step S45). After that, the label printer 10 ends the processing of fig. 17.
Description of flow of processing performed by server device
The communication control unit 71 determines whether or not the label issuance results are received from the label printer 10 (step S50). If it is determined that the label issuance performance is received (Yes at step S50), the process proceeds to step S51. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the label issuance result is received (No at step S50), step S50 is repeated, for example, before time-out.
When it is determined in step S50 that the label issuance results are received, the print data storage unit 70 updates the label issuance results (step S51). Specifically, the print data storage unit 70 updates the delivery result file F3. After that, the server device 20 ends the processing of fig. 17.
Although not shown in fig. 17, the label printer 10 requests the server device 20 to transmit a delivery record file F3 when the delivery record file F3 needs to be issued to confirm the remaining period of the product due date, change of storage location, or the like. The server device 20 receives the request for transmitting the delivery record file F3 from the label printer 10, and transmits the delivery record file F3 to the label printer 10.
The server device 20 receives the distribution record files F3 from the plurality of label printers 10, and merges these distribution record files F3 into one distribution record file F3. At this time, the already-combined issuance performance file F3 may also be transmitted to the label printer 10.
