Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a receipt to contribute to effective execution of an exceptional processing such as return, exchange of merchandise to be caused after sales and on which no useless printing space is generated. SOLUTION: A first information code A to express the data contents is printed corresponding to data by unit of merchandise and a second information code B to express the data contents is printed corresponding to data (issued date, identification information of an issuing device, the total amount of the merchandise, the amount of consumption tax, the total sum, the amount received from a customer, the amount of change, etc.), about the entire transaction except data about each piece of merchandise. When the data by unit of merchandise is handled, it is desirable to read the first information code A and when the data about the entire transaction is handled, it is desirable to read the second information code B. And since the data about the entire transaction in this case is formed by removing the data about each piece of merchandise, data quantity becomes approximately constant without direct relation with the number of pieces of merchandise, size of the second information code B is made to be constant and restriction when the code is described on receipt paper by printing, etc., is reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to, for example, a sales management terminal device forming a part of a POS system (Point Of Sales System) and a receipt issued by the sales management terminal device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, a so-called POS system has been employed in various stores such as large-scale retail stores and convenience stores in order to grasp the sales situation in real time and to prevent out-of-stock products and excessive inventory. The POS system includes a host computer that manages overall information such as stocks and sales of products to be handled, and a plurality of sales management terminal devices as terminals arranged at each sales floor.

In this sales management terminal device, for example, JP-A-6-309563 and JP-A-8-14756.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6 (1994), it is conceivable to perform data restoration or the like in response to “loss of sales data” that occurs during the sales process. The techniques described in these publications attempt to simplify and increase the efficiency of operations performed when processing necessary for system operation, such as data recovery and error receipt correction, occurs. That is, the operator operates the keyboard while looking at the receipt, and instead of inputting the data of the corresponding product, reads the barcode or two-dimensional code printed on the receipt with an information code reading device such as a barcode reader. , No input from the keyboard or the like is required.

[0004]

FIG. 9 (A)
As shown in FIG. 1, a receipt 101 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-309563 has bar codes 111, 121, and 131 corresponding to data for each product printed thereon. When the sales management terminal device issues the receipt 101, the barcodes 111, 121, and 131 are printed. However, the printable bar width cannot be so narrow, and the size of the entire barcode must be reduced. Is difficult. Also,
Since the amount of information that can be recorded is small, for example, in the case of the product “Mikan” illustrated in FIG. 9 (A), only the product code 112 “022” out of the information on “Mikan” of “022 Mikan T1 ¥ 300” It is represented as a barcode 111. Other barcodes 121,1
Similarly, 31 only represents the corresponding product codes 122 and 132 only. That is, it is practically difficult to record even the accompanying information.

Therefore, the bar codes 111, 121,
The commodity codes 112, 122, and 132 are read from the computer 131, and master data relating to the commodity data on the host computer side is searched and referred to. Therefore, for example, if the price changes frequently, such as fresh foods, or if you want to discount at a specific time,
It is necessary to maintain master data in detail.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 9B, a receipt 201 disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-147566 has a two-dimensional code corresponding to information 212 of the entire transaction printed on the receipt 201. 211 is printed. In this case, since the two-dimensional code 211 is employed, the information of the entire transaction is not limited to the product code as in the case of the barcode described above, and even if there is a transaction of a plurality of products, including supplementary information. It can be recorded in the two-dimensional code 211.

[0007] However, this transaction information 212
In the case of extracting and processing data on a specific product from among the above, it is necessary to rely on an operation of a keyboard or the like, which is a complicated operation. In particular, not only selling products, but also responding to various requests from customers after the sale (for example, exchanging and returning products, repairing products, delivery, etc.) from the viewpoint of improving the service on the store side Since it is indispensable, the frequency of performing various post-sales processing on a product-by-product basis becomes even greater. So every time,
If the data of a specific product is cut out by operating the keyboard or the like, the complexity is not solved.

[0008] Further, since the information 212 of the entire transaction is recorded, there is an inconvenience that the size of the two-dimensional code 211 itself increases as the number of products increases.
In other words, it is necessary to secure a printing space for the receipt paper in accordance with the expected maximum size, and if such a two-dimensional code having the maximum size is not printed, the printing space becomes useless. Alternatively, in order to prevent such wasteful printing space, for example, it is conceivable to change the size of the receipt paper according to the number of transaction products, but it is necessary to prepare a plurality of receipt papers. Not realistic. In general, a receipt similar to the receipt to be given to the customer is also created as a copy on the store side, but in this case, the receipt paper size is increased or a plurality of types of receipt paper are prepared. The inconvenience becomes more pronounced.

Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a receipt that can solve such a problem, and a second object of the present invention is to provide a sales management terminal device that can issue the receipt.

[0010]

A receipt according to the first aspect of the present invention, which has been made to achieve the first object, includes data of each commodity included in one transaction and data of the entire transaction excluding data of each commodity. The data is marked with human-readable information symbols. Then, a first information code that represents the data of each product and is machine-readable is written corresponding to the information symbol indicating the data of each product. Further, a second information code that represents data of the entire transaction and is machine-readable is described corresponding to an information symbol indicating data of the entire transaction.

As described above, in the case of the present receipt, the first information code may be read when dealing with data on a merchandise basis, and the second information code may be read when dealing with data on the entire transaction. Good. Then, the data of the entire transaction in this case excludes the data of each product, and the data amount becomes almost constant without being directly related to the number of products. Therefore, since the size of the information code can be made constant, restrictions on writing on a receipt paper by printing or the like are reduced. That is, the useless printing space described above does not occur, and it is needless to say that a plurality of types of receipt paper need not be prepared.

It is conceivable that the "data of the entire transaction" includes, for example, the total amount when a price is set for each product, but other than that, for example, as described in claim 2, The date and time the receipt was issued,
It is possible to include the identification information of the issuing device, the identification information of the store where the device exists, and the like. From the viewpoint of sales management, it is often important when and in which device at which store the data is handled.

Preferably, the first and second information codes used in the receipt are two-dimensional codes. Of course, barcodes can be implemented so as to exert the advantage that the data amount of the entire transaction described above is substantially constant and the size of the information code can be constant, but in reality, if the size is the same, For example, it is better to use a two-dimensional code having a remarkably large recording data amount with respect to a bar code. This reduces the printing space and reduces the size of the issued receipt itself.

When the two-dimensional code is used as the first and second information codes, a two-dimensional code having the same code format may be used. Then, the number of functions required for the device reading the information code is reduced. That is, when two-dimensional codes having different code formats are used, a reading function corresponding to the plurality of code formats is required, and a processing load for properly using the code formats is increased.

On the other hand, a sales management terminal device according to a fifth aspect of the present invention for achieving the second object is a sales management terminal device capable of issuing such a receipt and for inputting product data relating to a product. Product data input means;
A receipt issuing unit for issuing a receipt, and a process execution unit for performing various sales management processes including integration of the price of the product and issuing of a receipt by the receipt issuing unit based on the product data input by the product data input unit. It is conceivable that the processing execution unit issues a receipt on which the above-described first and second information codes are written using the receipt issuing unit.

Using the receipt issued by the sales management terminal device, as described above, specific product data is read using the first information code, or the entire transaction is read using the second information code. You can read data. Then, the reading process and various processes based on the read data may be performed by another device,
The sales management terminal itself may be able to do so. That is, as described in claim 6, the product data input means is configured as a reading device that reads an information code attached to a product and inputs the information code as product data, and is configured to be able to read an information code written on a receipt. . Then, when the process execution means reads the second information code by the product data input means, the mode is switched to a mode in which a predetermined post-sale process can be executed for the product described on the receipt. In this way, not only the processing related to sales until the receipt issuance, but also post-sale processing can be executed by the same sales management terminal device.

The post-sale processing includes, for example, at least a data restoration processing for restoring missing commodity data, an exchange processing for exchanging commodities, and a return processing for returning commodities. It is conceivable to include one of a process, a repair process for repairing a product, and a delivery process for delivering a product.

When there are a plurality of post-sale processes, it is necessary to select a desired one from among them. For example, the process execution means executes the post-sale process. When the mode is switched to the possible mode, it is conceivable that the type of post-sales processing that can be selected is displayed on the display means to prompt the user to select, and then the selected post-sale processing is executed.

Further, the present invention may be configured as described in claim 9.
In other words, the commodity data input means is configured so that the information code can also be read from a menu sheet in which the types of post-sales processing that can be selected are indicated by both a human-readable information symbol and a machine-readable information code. Then, when the processing execution means is switched to a mode in which the post-sale processing can be executed, the post-sale processing corresponding to the information code read from the menu sheet by the product data input means is executed thereafter. is there.

As described above, the operation can be simplified if the user can grasp the types of post-sales processing that can be selected and only need to select the type. In particular, considering that such a sales management terminal device is often operated by a person who is not a skilled person, the merit of simplifying the operation is great. This is not only a merit for the person who operates the apparatus, but also appears as a secondary effect such as a shorter waiting time for the purchaser of the product.

According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, after the type of post-sale processing is determined, the processing execution means determines whether or not a corresponding product corresponds to the first information code read by the product data input means. By executing the post-processing, the operator can perform almost all the processing using the product data input means. this is,
The above-mentioned advantage that the operation is simplified for a person who is not an expert can be exhibited more effectively.

[0022]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. It is needless to say that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following examples, and can take various forms as long as they belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a receipt 1 on which first and second information codes of this embodiment are printed. In the receipt 1, data relating to the transaction is written with information symbols (for example, letters and numbers) that can be read by humans. There are roughly two types of data, namely, data for each product and data for the entire transaction. Is written.

First, the data for each product is data for each product included in one transaction. In the example shown in FIG.
For products, "022 tangerine ¥ 300", "01
For example, the product code, the product type, and the price (price) of each product are described, such as "4 vegetables ¥ 138" and "016 vegetables ¥ 265".

Further, the data of the whole transaction in this embodiment excludes the data of each product, and in the example shown in FIG. 1, it is composed of data b1 and data b2 surrounded by broken lines. Among them, the data b2 is data relating to the amount of money for the entire transaction, and includes the total amount (excluding tax), consumption tax amount, total amount (= total amount (excluding tax) + consumption tax amount) of the above-mentioned three products, and customer deposit. It is the amount of money and the amount of change.

On the other hand, the data b1 includes the date and time when the receipt 1 was issued, the identification information of the issuing device, the identification information of the store where the device is located, the person in charge identification information, and the transaction number (the number indicating the number of the transaction). )It is included. In this data b1, the identification information of the device that issued the receipt 1, the identification information of the store where the device 1 is located, or the person in charge identification information is fixed data, and the date and time when the receipt 1 is issued and the transaction number are variable data. is there. The person in charge identification information is naturally changed when the person in charge changes, but since it does not always change like the date and time of issue of the receipt 1 or the transaction number, it is treated as fixed data.

In the receipt 1 of the present embodiment, a first information code A representing the data of each product is written in correspondence with the information symbol indicating the data of each product described above, and a transaction is performed. A second information code B representing the data of the entire transaction is described corresponding to the information symbol indicating the entire data. Since the first information code A is described for each product, in the present embodiment, the first information code A is described at the head of each of the three product data. On the other hand, the second information code B is 1
One. In the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code is used for each of the first information code A and the second information code B. Specifically, a QR code (also referred to as a microcode) having one positioning symbol is used. ).
This microcode is described in, for example,
No. 14317 is disclosed in detail.

Now, the receipt 1 as described above is shown in FIG.
Is used in the sales management system shown in FIG. In this sales management system, a plurality of sales management terminal devices 10 and a host computer 50 are connected by a communication line, and transaction data created at the point of sale in the sales management terminal device 10 is sent to the host computer 50. Uploaded. Then, the host computer 50 grasps the sales situation in real time based on the uploaded transaction data, and performs a process related to sales management for preventing a product from being sold out or an excessive inventory. As a result, a so-called POS system is realized.

The sales management terminal device 10 includes a POS terminal 20
And an information code reading device 30. The POS terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIG. P
The OS terminal 20 includes a CPU 21 that controls the entire terminal,
A memory 22, a numeric keypad for inputting a plurality of keys, numerals, and the like previously associated with the operation instruction, a keyboard 23 for outputting an operation instruction corresponding to the operated key, and a keyboard 23 based on the product data A display device 24 for displaying the price and type of the product, a printer 25 for printing the receipt 1, a cash drawer 26 for storing cash and the like, and a host computer 50 of the sales management system. A communication interface (communication IF) 27 having a function for transmitting and receiving various data such as transaction data and a function for receiving read data from the information code reader 30 is provided.

The cash drawer 26 is connected to the CPU 21.
Has a mechanism for opening the drawer in accordance with the opening instruction from the user. That is, when the drawer is closed, the CPU 21
It cannot be opened manually by a human unless there is an instruction to release it. Also, as described later, the input of the product data is
The information code attached to the product is read by the information code reader 30.
Is basically performed, but in order to take measures such as when the reading is not performed well, the keyboard 23 can be operated to input the product data.

On the other hand, the information code reading device 30 reads an information code attached to each product or the first information code A and the second information code B shown in FIG. 1 based on a predetermined reading processing program. I do. The information code reading device 30 of the present embodiment reads a two-dimensional code,
It has a CCD area sensor, and can decode a first information code A and a second information code B by analyzing a two-dimensional image. The configuration as a two-dimensional code reader is disclosed in detail in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. Hei 10-187871. If the information code attached to each product is a two-dimensional code having the same code format, the same processing program can be used. However, the information code attached to each product is a bar code or a different code format. If it is a dimensional code, it is necessary to distinguish between them and deal with it. Regarding this countermeasure, for example, Japanese Patent Application No.
Although it is conceivable to use the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 0-329520, it will not be described in detail because it is not the focus of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the information code reading device 30 corresponds to "commodity data input means", and the printer 25 corresponds to "receipt issuing means". Also, CP
U21 corresponds to “processing execution means”. Next, regarding the processing executed in the sales management terminal device 10 of the present embodiment,
This will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

The processing executed by the sales management terminal device 10 is roughly divided into a processing in the sales mode and a processing in the service mode, and will be described in order. FIG.
This shows processing in the sales mode executed by the CPU 21 of the OS terminal 20. First, clearing of the previous transaction data (S10), it is determined whether there is an input in S20 to S50, and the corresponding processing is executed.

In S20, it is determined whether or not transaction data has been input. This is determined by whether the information code reading device 30 reads the second information code B shown in FIG. 1 and whether the read transaction data has been input to the POS terminal 20 side. If transaction data is input (S2
0: YES), proceeds to S170 and executes service mode processing. This service mode processing will be described later.

On the other hand, if there is no input of transaction data (S20: NO), the flow shifts to S30 to determine whether or not there is an input of the total key on the keyboard 23. If there is an input of the total key (S30: YES), it means that the input of the product data has been completed, so that the flow shifts to S90. In steps S90 to S160, receipt 1 is issued, and this processing will be described later.

When there is no input of the total key (S30:
NO), proceeding to S40, it is determined whether or not there is a key input of the product code on the keyboard 23. If there is no key input of the product code (S40: NO), the process proceeds to S50 to read the information code. It is determined whether or not the product code has been read by the device 30. That is, the product code input method is not only to read the information code attached to the product by the information code reader 30 but also to use the keyboard 23
Therefore, in S40 and S50, it is determined whether there is an input by either of them. And
If there is no input by either (S40: NO and S50: NO), the process returns to S20, and if there is any input (S40: YES or S50: YES),
Move to S60.

At S60, an inquiry is made to the host computer 50 based on the input product code, and the product data retrieved by the host computer 50 is obtained. Then, the product data is added to the transaction data (S70), and the product data is displayed on the display device 24 (S8).
0). Thereafter, the process returns to S20.

After the data for each product is sequentially input in this way, if the total key is input as described above (S30: YES), the process proceeds to S90. The processing after S90 will be described. In S90, the total amount (excluding tax), consumption tax amount, total amount (= total amount (excluding tax) + consumption tax amount) and the like are calculated and displayed on the display device 24, and the cash drawer 26 is opened. When the operator of the sales management terminal device 10 deposits the price from the customer, he inputs the deposit amount from the keyboard 23. Therefore, when the deposit amount is input (S100), the change is calculated and the display device 24 is operated.
(S110). The device operator looks at the display of the change, takes out the change from the cash drawer, returns it to the customer, and returns the cash drawer. Therefore,
When the cash drawer is returned (S120), printing is performed on the receipt 1 (S130 to S150).

First, in S130, the data b1 described with reference to FIG. 1 is printed. As described above, this data b1 includes fixed data such as identification information of the device that issued the receipt 1, identification information of the store where the device 1 is located, or identification information of the person in charge, and the date and time when the receipt 1 was issued and the transaction number. And fluctuation data. In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, printing is performed on the upper side of the printing surface of the receipt 1.

Next, in S140, a first information code A is generated for each product and printed together with each product data. In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, printing is performed in the middle of the printing surface of the receipt 1. Then, in S150, the data b2 and the second information code B described with reference to FIG. 1 are printed. As described above, the data b2 is data relating to the amount of money for the entire transaction, and includes the total amount, the consumption tax amount, the total amount, the amount deposited from the customer, the change amount, and the like calculated in S90. In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the data b2 is located below the printing surface of the receipt 1.
Is printed. Further, the data b2 is added to the data b1 printed in S130 to generate a second information code B, which is printed. In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the second information code B is printed near the data b2.

As described above, the printing process of the receipt 1 (S13)
When S0 to S150) are completed, the process proceeds to S160, where the processing result data is transmitted (uploaded) to the host computer 50, and the present processing routine is terminated. Then, S
With reference to FIG. 5, the service mode process executed in S170 to which the process proceeds when an affirmative determination is made in 20 will be described.

First, after clearing the previous transaction data (S210), the service to be executed is displayed on the display device 24 and waits for selection (S220). Here, there are five service types, "return", "exchange", "shipment", "repair", and "data repair". For example, together with numbers such as "1: return, 2: exchange ..." indicate. Therefore, the device operator inputs the number of the service to be selected from the keyboard 23.

When "return" is selected (S230: YES), a return process is executed (S24).
0), when “exchange” is selected (S250: YE)
S), the exchange process is executed (S260), and if "ship" is selected (S270: YES), the dispatch process is executed (S280), and if "repair" is selected (S2).
90: YES), a repair process is executed (S300), and if "data repair" is selected (S310: YE
S), a data restoration process is performed (S320).

Each process (S240, S260, S280,
After S300 and S320) are executed, the flow shifts to S330, and it is determined whether or not there is an input for terminating the process. The operator inputs the end of the process through the keyboard 23. If the end of the process is input (S330: YES), a receipt on which the result of the corresponding process is printed is issued (S34).
0), after transmitting (uploading) processing result data to the host computer 50 (S350), the service mode processing routine ends.

The outline of the service mode process is as described above. Here, the return process executed in S240 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the first step S
At 241, the read transaction data is set as the initial transaction data. As described above, when the information code reading device 30 reads the second information code B shown in FIG. 1 and the read transaction data is input to the POS terminal 20 (S20: YES in FIG. 4), FIG. The process proceeds to S170 of S4, where the service mode process is executed.
The transaction data read from the information code B is set as the initial transaction data.

Although not appearing during the processing of FIG. 6, the apparatus operator actually receives the merchandise returned from the customer and checks whether there is any mistake. Thereafter, the device operator uses the information code reading device 30 to perform an operation of reading the first information code A corresponding to the corresponding product from the receipt 1.

Therefore, the data read based on the first information code A is input from the information code reading device 30 (S242), and based on the input data, the price at the time of sale is determined and is displayed on the display device 24. Is displayed, and the cash drawer 26 is opened (S243). The device operator looks at the amount displayed on the display device 24, takes out the refund from the cash drawer, returns it to the customer, and returns the cash drawer. Therefore, when the cash drawer is closed (S244), a new receipt 1 is issued based on the result of the return processing (S245). Then, the return processing data is transmitted (uploaded) to the host computer 50 (S246), and the return processing routine ends.

As described above, when the receipt 1 of this embodiment is used, the first information code A can be read when dealing with data in units of merchandise, and the second information code can be read when dealing with data of the entire transaction. Code B may be read. Therefore,
As described with reference to FIG. 5, "Return", "Exchange",
When performing the service processing of “shipping”, “repair”, and “data restoration”, the second information code B specifies which transaction was performed, and the service processing target is identified from the first information code. A. In other words, the service target can be specified not only in the product unit but also in the transaction unit.

Since the data of the entire transaction in this case excludes the data of each product, the data amount of the second information code B is almost constant without being directly related to the number of products. Therefore, the size of the second information code B can be made constant, and restrictions on writing on the receipt paper by printing or the like are reduced. Naturally, the data amount of the first information code A corresponding to the product unit data is essentially constant, and the size can be constant. for that reason,
Unlike the related art described with reference to FIG. 9B, the size of the information code is not affected by the number of products, there is no useless printing space, and there is no need to prepare a plurality of types of receipt paper.

Further, in this embodiment, since the first information code A and the second information code B both employ a two-dimensional code, the size of the code itself can be reduced as compared with the case where a bar code is employed. On the other hand, the sales management terminal device 10 of the present embodiment can issue the receipt 1 and can also execute the above-described service processing. The service processing itself may be executed by another dedicated device. However, if the sales management terminal device 10 itself can perform the service process, the total number of devices can be reduced.

When the mode is changed to the service mode, it can be automatically changed only by reading the second information code B from the receipt 1. Therefore,
For example, the device operator does not need to operate the keyboard 23. [Others] (1) In the above-described embodiment, when the service type is selected, the selected test limb is displayed on the display device 24, and the device operator inputs the number from the keyboard 23 to realize the selection. However, the following may be performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the service type is described as a human-readable information symbol, that is, "data restoration", "exchange", "return", "repair", "delivery", and the like. A menu sheet 40 on which information codes C1, C2, C3... Then, the information code reading device 30 may read the information codes C1, C2, C3,... Corresponding to the desired service type from the menu sheet 40. As described above, almost all operations need only be read using the information code reading device 30, and the operations are simplified. In particular, since there are many cases in which the device operator is not an expert, the merit of simplifying the operation is great. Further, there is an advantage that the waiting time is shortened even for a customer purchasing a product or a customer receiving a service.

(2) In the above embodiment, the information code attached to the product is a bar code, and the first information code A and the second information code B written on the receipt 1 are two-dimensional codes. Any device that can be read by the information code reading device 30 may be used. Also, in the case where a two-dimensional code is employed, the above-described positioning symbols are not limited to one QR code (see FIG. 1). For example, the positioning symbols shown in FIG. ), A maxi code shown in FIG. 8C, and a PDF 417 shown in FIG. 8D.

(3) In the above-described embodiment, the information code reader 30 and the POS terminal 20 are described as being connected by a communication line. You may.
