Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic cash register a display unit for displaying cash register-specific data, a till printer for printing a till receipt, one Input keyboard for entering cash register-specific data, and with a calculator to process the entered and already stored data and to control the display unit and the POS printer.
  • Such a cash register is used in supermarkets, shopping malls, Department stores, restaurants etc. in the checkout area used. Those used by a customer Services and the goods purchased are at the checkout recorded and debited, and a receipt is created.
  • Conventional cash registers use different housings with receiving elements for electronic devices. The computer and, if necessary, is in these recording elements the cash register printer inserted. Such a housing with appropriate Devices for receiving the computer, the one The keyboard, the display unit etc. is complex and complicated.
  • This task is for the aforementioned electronic Cash register solved in that a laptop computer in standard version with a control panel and with a display part pivotable away from the control panel is that the display part forms the display unit, and that in the control panel instead of the usual for the laptop computer alphanumeric input keyboard a customer-specific cash register keyboard is used, the outer dimensions of which alphanumeric input keyboard essentially matches.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that electronic Cash registers in addition to the usual cash register functions also booking functions, tasks of managing the inventory, Computing power for a central computer etc. Must provide. Solving these tasks requires a considerable computational effort by a powerful Small computers should be made available.
  • a small computer is a laptop computer, in its standard version a relatively large memory area, if necessary in combination with a storage disk, a comfortable Display and high computing power provided becomes.
  • the invention is now in the control panel Laptop computer instead of its usual alphanumeric Input keyboard a customer-specific cash register keyboard is used, the outer dimensions of this cash register keyboard the alphanumeric input keyboard essentially matches. In this way it is possible to have essential parts of a to use mass-produced laptop computers. With the cash register keyboard, the interface between Cashier staff and those equipped with the laptop computer Cash register designed specifically for the cash register, so that the Operation of the new cash register can be done easily.
  • a receiving unit is attached to a carrier plate, on which the laptop computer is detachably attached.
  • the new cash register is easy to install. It is also possible to modernize the cash register, by a laptop computer of a newer computer generation exchanged for a conventional laptop computer becomes.
  • the Recording unit a cavity accessible from the operator side has included an alphanumeric input keyboard is that the input keyboard is in an operating position is mobile in which it is pulled out of the cavity, and that the input keyboard can be moved into a rest position is in which it is received in the cavity.
  • An electronic cash register 10 contains a conventional one Laptop computer 12 with a control panel 14 and with one display part 16 which can be pivoted away from the operating part 14
  • This display part 16 contains cash register-specific information such as. the amount to be paid, the goods purchased, the associated goods Product number etc. is displayed.
  • the display part 16 can in Direction of the control panel 14 can be folded, so that the control panel 14 is covered.
  • the operating part 14 contains a cash register keyboard 18 with cash register-specific Buttons, e.g. Buttons for certain goods, for that Open the cash drawer etc. as you would for an electronic one Cash register are common.
  • the cash register keyboard 18 is in place the alphanumeric otherwise common in laptop computers 12 Input keyboard used.
  • the external dimensions of the Cash register keyboard 18 is essentially the same as usual alphanumeric input keyboard.
  • the operating staff can because of the cash register keyboard 18 the laptop computer 12 operate like a conventional cash register. A special one Training the operating personnel can therefore be almost eliminated.
  • the laptop computer 12 is detachable on a receiving unit 20 attached.
  • This receiving unit 20 is with a carrier plate 22 connected, which also carries the cash register printer 24.
  • the receiving unit 20 has one accessible from the operating side Cavity 26, in which an alphanumeric computer input keyboard 28 is included.
  • the one shown in the figure Operating position is the input keyboard 28 from the Cavity 26 pulled out so that an operator controls the buttons can operate easily.
  • a rest position is reached.
  • the keys of the input keyboard are in this rest position 28 no longer operable.
  • the laptop computer 12 can be operated like a standard device.
