Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating automatic devices such as cash registers or the like, in which parameters such as prices can be set by the operator.
- the prices for certain goods and / or services are set in that coding switches provided inside the cash register are set.
- the setting and any necessary change in the price setting is carried out only by an authorized person and that all settings to be carried out are actually made at a certain time, since only in this way correct billing can be achieved. It is also desirable that it is possible to demonstrate the extent to which goods are affected by a parameter change to be undertaken, that is to say price changes, so as to prevent manipulation by a chain store operator, for example.
- the device for carrying out the method comprises a computer and a reading device for reading data written on a data carrier into the computer and is according to of the invention, characterized in that the control circuit of the computer is designed such that parameters can be set by means of a data carrier which cannot be changed by the operator with regard to the command for changing a parameter.
- FIG. 1 shows the schematic structure of an apparatus for performing the method.
- FIG. 2 shows a diagram to explain the method.
- the automatic device comprises a sales station 1, in which the goods and / or services to be calculated are entered in a known manner via a keyboard or a device that reads, for example, an EAN code of the goods and / or service.
- the sales station is connected to a microcomputer 2 with a ROM memory and a RAM memory.
- the RAM memory is preferably designed as a non-volatile memory.
- the microcomputer 2 is connected to a read / write device 3.
- the read / write device comprises a pull-in mechanism for pulling in a data carrier 4, which is designed in the form of a card with a magnetic track 5.
- the read / write device 3 comprises a device for reading out the data written in the magnetic track and for checking the authenticity of the data carrier, the authorization of the user and for writing data into the data carrier.
- the essentially formed by the ROM memory control circuit of the microcomputer 2 is designed so that when entering a certain goods and / or services in the sales station 1 the customer is charged a certain price, for example by issuing an invoice. At the same time, the inventory is reduced by the disposal.
- the goods or services issued are preferably paid for using a prepaid card 6, which is entered into the read / write device 3. Reading out the value represented by the prepaid card and writing in the value reduced by the purchase is carried out in a known manner.
- the branch receives a data carrier 4 in the form of a tariff card 7.
- This magnetic card 5 contains the tariff card in the magnetic track 5 Command written with which the parameter of the program contained in the RAM memory is changed to determine the prices.
- the tariff card comprises an individualization mark 8 which can be set by the operator. The operator first sets a code identifying the personal identification by means of the individualization mark 8 and then inserts the tariff card into the read / write device 3. The command is read out there and the tariffs to be applied to the goods or services are changed as desired.
- the magnetic track contains coded data for recognizing the authenticity of the tariff card and for checking the identity of the user with the intended user by means of the setting on the individualization mark. 8 provided.
- the parameters are only changed if the data entered also shows that the card is genuine and the user is an actually authorized user.
- the time that is to say the time and the date
- the time is written into the magnetic stripe 5 of the tariff card 7 via the read / write device 3 read the command.
- the inventory of the goods at the time of reading out the command, the price of which the change in command relates is preferably registered.
- the tariff card 7 thus represents an acknowledgment feature of the parameter change being carried out. The body issuing the commands can thus be convinced of the correct execution and manipulations are excluded.
- the tariff card 7 is inserted into a slot 9 of the read / write device. This triggers the control process determined essentially by the ROM memory in the microcomputer 2.
- the card information is read out by means of a read / write device 10 in the read / write device.
- the data are fed to a comparator 11 which checks the authenticity of the card by comparing features individualizing the card 8 with the coded information read in the magnetic track. If the authenticity is denied, the card is returned and the device returns to the ready state. If the authenticity of the card is affirmed, a comparator 12 compares the personal code indicated by the setting of the individualization mark 8 with the code resulting from the entry in the magnetic track. If the match is negated, the card is returned and the device returns to the ready state.
- the command resulting from the entry in magnetic track 5 is read into the non-volatile memory, as a result of which certain parameters, for example tariffs for certain goods or services, are changed or new can be entered or deleted entirely.
- a number hereinafter referred to as the parameter volume, is preferably entered, which determines in how many such devices and in particular such cash registers parameters such as the tariffs can or should be changed.
- the computer After the command has been carried out, the computer therefore sends a signal to the read / write device, with which the parameter volume which has been read in, reduced by the number 1, is again written into the magnetic track.

Abstract
Le procede permet l'ajustement, par l'utilisateur, de parametres tels que les prix. Afin que la modification des parametres soit effectuee exactement de la facon predeterminee, l'ordre d'ajustement des parametres est entre dans un calculateur (2) de l'appareil a l'aide d'un support de donnees (7) qui, en ce qui concerne cet ordre, ne peut pas etre modifie par l'utilisateur. L'utilisateur n'a plus aucune influence personnelle sur l'ajustement des parametres, ce qui exclut les erreurs volontaires ou involontaires. Le dispositif comprend un calculateur (2) et un appareil de lecture et ecriture (3) pour l'introduction dans le calculateur des donnees enregistrees sur les supports de donnees (4). L'ordre d'ajustement des parametres est porte par une piste magnetique (5) du support (7) et est lu par un dispositif de lecture qui les livres au calculateur ou se produit l'ajustement des parametres.The method allows the user to adjust parameters such as prices. So that the modification of the parameters is carried out exactly in the predetermined way, the order of adjustment of the parameters is entered into a computer (2) of the apparatus using a data carrier (7) which, in Regarding this order, cannot be changed by the user. The user no longer has any personal influence on the adjustment of the parameters, which excludes voluntary or involuntary errors. The device comprises a calculator (2) and a reading and writing device (3) for the introduction into the calculator of the data recorded on the data carriers (4). The order of adjustment of the parameters is carried by a magnetic track (5) of the support (7) and is read by a reading device which delivers them to the calculator or the adjustment of the parameters takes place.
