The determination result of step 3 is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step SB4.
No. In step SB4, the MPU 11 returns to FIG.
Card information C at address 1 following address 0 ₁Smell
Main information (store information [SOGO], amount information "2500
0 ”) is read out and displayed on the display unit 3,
Proceed to Step SB5.

In step SB5, the MPU 11 determines whether or not the main information of the last address in the card information table T ₀ (see FIG. 3A) has been displayed on the display unit 3.
If the result of this determination is "YES", the card information display process is terminated, the flow proceeds to step SA3 shown in FIG. 4, and the above-described determination is made. In this case, since the main information of the last address is not yet displayed on the display unit 3, the MPU 11 sets the determination result of step SB5 to "NO" and returns to step SB5.
Return to 3.

Then, additional information (point information) accompanying the user's currently displayed main information (in this case, store information “SOGO” and amount information “25000”)
If the shift key 5 is not depressed for a certain period of time or more in order to confirm the above, the MPU 11 sets the determination result of step SB3 to "NO" and proceeds to step SB6.

At step SB6, the MPU 11 determines whether or not the enter key 6 (see FIG. 1) has been pressed. If the determination result is "NO", the process returns to step SB3.
The above steps are repeated. In this case, assuming that enter key 6 has been pressed by the user, MPU 11 sets the determination result of step SB6 to "YES" and proceeds to step SB7. In step SB7, the auxiliary information corresponding to the main information displayed on the display unit 3 is read out from the non-volatile memory 18, and is displayed on the display unit 3.

In this case, the store information “SOGO” and the price information “25” of the address 1 shown in FIG.
000 ”is displayed, so the MPU
11 is additional information of address 1 (point information “50
0 ”) is read from the nonvolatile memory 18. Next, M
The PU 11 reads the additional information (point information “50
After "0" is displayed on the display unit 3, the process proceeds to Step SB8. As a result, the display unit 3 displays a numeric string of “500”, and the user confirms that the point at the store “SOGO” is 500 points by looking at the display. In step SB8, the MPU 11
Determines whether or not the enter key 6 has been pressed, and if this determination is "NO", the flow returns to step SB3. Assuming that enter key 6 is pressed, MPU 11 sets the determination result of step SB8 to "YES", and proceeds to step SB8.
Go to 9.

At step SB9, the MPU 11

In step SB4, when the main information of the last address in the card information table T ₀ is displayed, MPU 11 recognizes a result of determination in step SB5 as "YES", the flow proceeds to step SA3 shown in FIG.

At step SA4, the MPU 11 determines whether or not the sort condition setting function has been selected by the user. If the determination result is "NO", the process returns to step SA1 and repeats the above-described steps. In this case, assuming that the select key 4 (see FIG. 1) has been pressed by the user to select the sort condition setting function, the MPU 11 detects this and determines the result of step SA3 as "YES".
In step SA4, the sort condition setting process shown in FIG. 6 is executed.

[0073] That is, in step SC1 shown in the figure, the MPU 11, the display screen A ₁ for causing the selection of whether the sorting condition to "shop information" in the main information shown in FIG. 3 (a) to the user (“Shop?”) Is displayed on the display unit 3, and then the process proceeds to Step SC2. Thus, the user can view the display screen A _1, it is judged whether the the sorting condition "shop information", as the sorting condition "shop information" and presses the enter key 6. On the other hand, other information (“transaction date information”, “amount information”, “point information”
) Is set as the sort condition or the user does not set the sort condition, the user presses the shift key 5.

At step SC2, the MPU 11 determines whether or not the enter key 6 has been pressed. If the determination result is "NO", the process proceeds to step SC4. In this case, if it is assumed that the enter key 6 has been pressed by the user in order to use the “store information” as the sort condition, the MPU 11
Sets the determination result of step SC2 to "YES" and proceeds to step SC3. In step SC3, the MPU 11
Sorts the card information table T ₀ (card information C ₀ to card information C ₅ ...) Shown in FIG.

More specifically, since the sort condition is “store information”, the MPU 11 uses the first letter of the store information (“YOKADO”, “SOGO”, etc.) shown in FIG. as alphabet initials in alphabetical order, sorts the card information C ₀ ~ card information C ₅ ... memory rank, exit the sorting condition setting processing, the flow returns to step SA1 shown in Fig.

Then, if the card information display function is selected again at step SA1 shown in FIG.
The MPU 11 determines “YES” at Step SA1.
Then, the process proceeds to Step SA2 to execute a card information display process. That is, the MPU 11 performs steps SB1 to SB9 shown in FIG.

I do. As a result, the MPU 11 sets the determination result of Step SB8 to "YES" and proceeds to Step SB9.

[0078] At step SB9, MPU 11 refers to the card information table T ₀ that is sorted store information as the sorting condition in step SC3 (see FIG. 6) described above, supplementary information ( "point information in one of the card information )) And the main information (“store information”) are sequentially read from the head address, and are sequentially displayed on the display unit 3. Then, the process returns to step SB3 to repeat the above-described steps. As a result, the display unit 3 sequentially displays supplementary information (point information) related to other stores, so that the user can instantly know how many points are in other stores from this display. .

Returning to FIG. 6, if the enter key 6 has not been depressed in step SC2, the MPU 11 sets the determination result to "NO" and proceeds to step SC4. In step SC4, it is determined whether or not the shift key 5 has been pressed, and if this determination is "NO", the same determination is repeated. Then, in order for the user to set the next sort condition,
If the shift key 5 is pressed, the MPU 11 sets the determination result of step SC4 to "YES", and
Proceed to C5. Hereinafter, the MPU 11 executes the same processes as those in Steps SC1 to SC4 in Steps SC5 to SC12.

That is, in step SC5, MPU1
1 displays a display screen A ₂ (“Date?”) On the display unit 3 for allowing the user to select whether to set the sort condition to (transaction date information) in the same manner as in step SC1 described above. Display. In step SC7, since the sort condition is “transaction date information”, the MPU 11
Transaction date information ("1997/10/01", "1997/03/03")
) Are rearranged so that the card information C ₀ to card information C ₅ ... In this case, in step SB9 (see FIG. 5), a plurality of incidental information and main information are sequentially displayed on the display unit 3 based on the result of the sorting in a manner similar to the above-described operation.

When the enter key 6 is pressed, in step SC9, the MPU 11 executes the above-described step SC1.
Display screen A ₃ for allowing the user to select whether to set the sort condition to (point information) in the same manner as in the step
(“Point?”) Is displayed on the display unit 3. In step SC11, because sorting condition is "point information", MPU 11 is point information shown in FIG. 3 (a) ( "100", "500", etc.) so that the descending order, the card information C ₀ ~ Card The storage order of the information C ₅ is rearranged. In this case, in step SB9 (see FIG. 5), the supplementary information and the main information are sequentially displayed on the display unit 3 based on the sorting result in the same manner as the above-described operation.

Determines whether or not the point information exceeds the threshold information in the comparison result (or whether or not the point information is near the threshold value). If the determination result is “NO”, the process proceeds to step SG2. Return to

In this case, since point information (500)> threshold information (400), control unit 73 sets the result of determination in step SG8 to "YES", and proceeds to step SG8.
Proceeding to 9, the display unit 3 displays a message indicating that the points have exceeded the threshold value. This allows the user to
Recognizing that the points are equal to or greater than the threshold value, if necessary, a prize corresponding to the number of points is received at the store "SOGO".

As described above, according to this modification, the user is notified of the result of the comparison between the point information and the threshold value, so that additional services can be provided to the user.

In the above modification, instead of displaying the message in step SG9 shown in FIG. 14, the user may be notified by a buzzer or the like that the point has exceeded the threshold value. Further, in the above-described modification, a difference value between the point information and the threshold information in step SG7 shown in FIG. 14 may be obtained and displayed on the display unit 3. The amount to be paid may be determined and displayed on the display unit 3.

Further, in the above modified example, a difference value between the point information and the threshold value in the card information table of the specification (for example, “A type”) is obtained, and another specification (for example, “B type”, “B type”) is obtained. The point information may be searched in each card information table of "C type") and a difference value between the searched point and a threshold value may be obtained. In this case, the point information (supplementary information) having the difference value of 0 or less may be further notified to the user by the above-described method. In addition, in this case, the configuration may be such that the point information with the smallest difference value is sequentially notified to the user by the above-described method.

Although the first and second embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, a specific configuration is described in the first and second embodiments.
