Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a charge processing device for calculating a charge according to time, and a computer which stores a program containing instructions for causing a computer to execute the operation of such a charge processing device. It relates to a possible recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Sales data processing devices such as electronic cash registers and point-of-sale (POS) terminals have been used in various stores.

[0003] As one of such sales data processing devices, a sales data processing device for calculating hourly charges is also known.

[0004] This is used in industries in which fees are calculated according to the use time of customers, such as parking lots and karaoke boxes. That is, the sales data processing device for hourly fee calculation used in such an industry can preset a constant fee for the basic time and another constant fee for the additional time, and give the entrance time and the exit time of the customer. It is configured to automatically calculate charges only.

[0005] Further, in stores and the like that pay wages according to working hours, such as part-time workers and part-time contract employees, a sales data processing device further provided with an attendance management function is used. By pressing a key (hereinafter, referred to as Clark SW) on a keyboard which can identify each person in charge, the time at which the key is pressed is recorded, and the working time of the employee (Clark) is recorded from the time. It is calculated so that the attendance of employees can be managed.

[0006]

By the way, as is well known, in many advanced countries except Japan, summer time has been introduced in which summer time is shortened by one hour at a time in summer in order to promote energy saving. Therefore, in an area where such daylight saving time is introduced, it is necessary to shift the current date and time measured by the clock unit to the switching date and time.

However, the above-described sales data processing apparatus for obtaining the billing amount such as a charge or a wage in accordance with the predetermined processing time such as the use of the parking lot or the labor is required when such a change of the daylight saving time occurs. Since there is no function of correcting a time error caused by the execution of summer time, there is a problem that an accurate billing amount cannot be obtained.

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to enable an accurate billing amount to be obtained in accordance with daylight saving time.

[0009]

Means of the present invention are as follows. The current time changing means shifts the current time by a predetermined time when a predetermined date and time is reached. The designating means designates a billing amount calculation method related to the calculation of the billing amount for the predetermined time shifted by the current time changing means. The billing amount calculating means calculates the billing amount specified by the specifying means when obtaining the billing time corresponding to the target time based on the money amount corresponding to the time unit while obtaining the target time at which the predetermined processing is performed. And a billing amount at the target time according to the time shifted by the current time changing means.

[0010] The means of the invention of claim 6 is as follows. The computer-readable recording medium stores a program including an instruction for causing the computer to execute the following processing when the current time is shifted by a predetermined time when a predetermined date and time is reached. The first process is a process for designating a billing amount calculation method related to the calculation of the billing amount for the shifted predetermined time. The second processing is to match the method of calculating the specified billing amount when obtaining the billing time corresponding to the target time based on the money amount corresponding to the time unit while calculating the target time at which the predetermined processing is performed. Further, it is a process of calculating a billing amount in the target time according to the shifted time.

The operation of the means according to the first and sixth aspects of the invention is as follows. The present time is shifted by a predetermined time when a predetermined date and time, which is a daylight saving time switch date, is reached. The target time at which a predetermined process (for example, using a parking lot) is performed is determined, and the target time is determined based on an amount corresponding to a time unit. When calculating the billing amount according to the time, the billing amount is calculated according to the method of calculating the billing amount (for example, a basic charge, a division fee, and a special charge as described later) and according to the shifted time. Therefore, an accurate billing amount can be obtained in accordance with daylight saving time.

The means of the invention according to claim 5 is as follows. The current time changing means shifts the current time by a predetermined time when a predetermined date and time is reached. The billing amount calculating means calculates the target time at which the predetermined processing is performed and, when obtaining the billing amount corresponding to the target time based on the amount corresponding to the time unit, according to the time shifted by the current time changing means. The charge amount is obtained, and the obtained charge amount is output. The correction target time output means corrects the target time according to the time shifted by the current time change means, and outputs the corrected target time.

[0013] The means of the invention of claim 7 is as follows. The computer-readable recording medium stores a program including an instruction for causing the computer to execute the following processing when the current time is shifted by a predetermined time when a predetermined date and time is reached. The first processing is to obtain a target time at which the predetermined processing is performed and, when obtaining a charge amount according to the target time based on the amount corresponding to the time unit, obtain a charge amount according to the shifted time; This is a process of outputting the calculated billing amount. The second process is a process of correcting the target time according to the shifted time and outputting the corrected target time.

The operation of the means according to the fifth and seventh aspects is as follows. The present time is shifted by a predetermined time when a predetermined date and time, which is a daylight saving time switch date, is reached. The target time at which a predetermined process (for example, labor) is performed is determined, and the target time is set based on the amount corresponding to the time unit. When calculating the corresponding charge, the charge is calculated and output according to the shifted time. Further, the target time is also corrected, and the corrected target time is output. Therefore, an accurate billing amount can be obtained in accordance with daylight saving time.

0 and the like, receive programs and data transmitted from the other device side and store them in the storage medium 16 or communicate programs and data stored in a storage medium provided in the other device side. It can also be used via the line 20 or the like.

An input device 22, a display device 24, a printing device 26, a drawer 28, and a card issuing machine 30, which are input / output peripheral devices, are connected to the CPU 10 via a bus line. Control their behavior.

FIG. 1B is a diagram showing the main configuration of the RAM 12, which includes a current time data memory 12A, a charge system data memory 12B, a basic charge data memory 12C,
Midnight charge data memory 12D, special charge data memory 1
2E, daylight saving time data memory 12F, time zone switching time area 12G, message print buffer 12
H, total charge area 12I, work area 12J, etc.
Various memory areas are allocated.

Here, the current time data memory 12A stores
The present date and time are stored in accordance with the timing of a clock (not shown) configured in the CPU 10.

The charge system data memory 12B stores a designated charge system. In the present embodiment,
Three types of fee systems, a basic fee system, a split fee system, and a special fee system, can be designated. Details of each fee system will be described later.

The basic charge data memory 12C stores a charge per predetermined time such as 30 minutes or 1 hour. The late-night charge data memory 12D stores late-night charges applied in a predetermined late-night time zone, for example, from 10:00 to 6:00 in the next morning. The late-night charges are stored in the basic charge data memory 12C. It is a surcharge or a discount for the given fee. On the other hand, the special charge data memory 12E stores a charge used when the special charge system is designated.

Daylight saving time data memory 12F
Stores the date and time of daylight saving time switching. This is, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), how to shift the time from the summer / winter switching month / day / hour / minute / second area 12F1 which stores data of the date and time of switching from summer time to winter time. The switching time area 12F2 stores the data of the date and time for switching from winter time to summer time, and conversely stores the switching date and time area 12F3 from winter to summer and how much the time is shifted at that time. Switching time area 12F
Consists of four.

The time zone switching time area 12G stores the times of the normal time zone and the midnight time zone, respectively, and, as shown in FIG. 1D, the normal time zone start time. And an end time area 12G1, a midnight time zone start time and an end time area 12G2.

The message print buffer 12H stores a message to be printed on a receipt by the printing device 26.

The total charge area 12I stores the calculated charge amount.

The work area 12J stores the CPU 1
Numeral 0 is used to hold various data when executing various processes.

Next, the operation in such a configuration will be described with reference to the main flowchart of FIG. Here, a program for realizing each function described in this flowchart is stored in the storage medium 16 in the form of a program code that can be read by the CPU 10, and the content thereof is loaded into the RAM 12. The same applies to other flowcharts described later.

That is, first, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the input device 22 (step S10). If there is no input, a daylight saving time switching process is executed (step S1).
2) Return to step S10. Here, the summer time switching process is to compare the current date and time stored in the current time data memory 12A with the switching date and time stored in the summer time switching date and time data memory 12F. Area 12F2 or 12F4
Time data memory 12A for the time stored in
This is a process of changing the current date and time stored in.

On the other hand, if there is an input from the input device 22, it is first determined whether or not the input is a designation for issuing a parking ticket (step S14). If so, the card issuing machine 26 issues a parking ticket recording the current time (step S16), and returns to step S10. In this way, the customer issues a card recording the entry time at the time of entry and enters the parking lot.

If the input from the input device 22 is not the issuance designation of the parking ticket, it is determined whether or not the input is the entry time read from the parking ticket for leaving (step S18). If not, it is further determined whether or not the input is a designation of a fee system (step S20).
If the charge system is designated, the designated charge system is stored and set in the charge system data memory 12B (step S22), and the process returns to step S10. If the input is not a designation of a fee system, a process corresponding to other designations is performed (step S24), and the process returns to step S10.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S18 that the input is a parking time input, parking fee calculation processing is executed (step S26), and the above-described step S1
Return to 0. That is, when the customer returns, the above step S1
6. Pass the parking ticket issued in step 6 to the operator of the electronic cash register installed on the exit side, and the operator inputs the parking time printed on the parking ticket into the electronic cash register, and enters the charge settlement key. When operated, a parking fee calculation process for obtaining a fee and issuing a receipt is executed.

In the parking fee calculation process, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the parking time input by the input device 22 is subtracted from the current time stored in the current time data memory 12A to reduce the parking time. It is calculated (step S30). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the current time corresponds to the daylight saving time switching date with reference to the daylight saving time switching date / time data memory 12F (step S32). Here, if it is not a daylight saving time switching day, it is determined whether or not the current time is in the late night time zone with reference to the time zone switching time area 12G (step S34). If it is not the midnight time zone, the charge for the parking time calculated in step S30 is calculated using the basic charge stored in the basic charge data memory 12C, and the work area 12 is calculated.
J is temporarily stored (step S36), and a message "basic fee" is set in the message print buffer 12H (step S38). If the current time is in the midnight time zone, the charge is calculated using the basic charge stored in the basic charge data memory 12C for the normal time zone of the parking time calculated in step S30. And late-night rate data memory 1 for late-night hours
The charge is calculated using the late-night charge stored in the 2D, and the charge is temporarily stored in the work area 12J (step S40), and a message “late-night charge” is set in the message print buffer 12H (step S4).
2). Thus, the above-mentioned step S38 or step S4
After the message is set in the message print buffer 12H in step 2, a receipt printout is issued by the printing device 26, and a closing process such as a total update in which the charges temporarily stored in the work area 12J are totaled and stored in the total charge area 12I is executed. Then (step S44), the process returns to the main flowchart.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S32 that the current time is on the daylight saving time switching day, it is further determined whether or not the parking time zone is in the switching time zone (step S46). Here, if the parking time zone is not within the switching time zone, the process proceeds to step S34, and the above-described processing is executed. However, when the parking time zone is within the switching time zone, the designated fee system is determined with reference to the fee system data memory 12B (step S48).

If the fee system is the basic fee system, the basic fee stored in the basic fee data memory 12C is compared with the late night fee stored in the late night fee data memory 12D (step S50). If it is cheaper, the process proceeds to step S36, and if the late night fee is cheaper, the process proceeds to step S40. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the start time of the late night time zone is midnight 24:00,
If the time is set back by one hour due to daylight saving time switching,
The parking fee for one hour between 24:00 and 0:00 after the switching is calculated uniformly by adopting the cheaper of the basic fee and the late night fee.

If the fee system is a split fee system,
First, the switching time and the normal time are obtained from the parking time calculated in step S30, and the respective ratios are obtained (step S52). Here, the normal time = parking time−switching time, the ratio of the switching time is calculated by “parking time ÷ switching time”, and the ratio of the normal time is calculated by “parking time ÷ normal time”.
Then, the charge is calculated using the basic charge for the normal time period, and the switch time is calculated using the basic charge and the late-night charge according to the above ratio, as shown in FIG. Are calculated and temporarily stored in the work area 12J (step S54).
The message “split fee” is set in 2H (step S56). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the current time is in the midnight time zone (step S58). If not, the process proceeds to step S44. If it is a late-night time zone, of the parking time calculated in the step S30, a midnight time is obtained (step S60), and the process proceeds to the step S40.

On the other hand, if the fee system is a special fee system,
As shown in FIG. 4C, for the switching time zone, a charge is calculated using the special charge stored in the special charge data memory 12E and temporarily stored in the work area 12J (step S62). ), Message print buffer 12
After setting the message "special fee" in H (step S64), the process proceeds to step S44.

When the parking time zone is in the switching time zone, the parking time calculated in step S30 is, of course, corrected by the time shifted by the summer time switching.

By performing the above processing, a receipt as shown in FIG. 5 is issued when the daylight saving time is switched. It should be noted that the "basic fee" portion, which is underlined in the figure, is rewritten by being stored in the message print buffer 12H according to the fee system.

In the present embodiment, an example of how to separate the basic fee and the late night fee has been described. However, for example, a basic fee of two hours and an additional fee thereafter may be used. Further, the present invention is not limited to a parking lot, and can be applied to any type of equipment such as a karaoke box, which is used in a business in which a fee is calculated according to the use time of a customer.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
An embodiment will be described.

The second embodiment is an example of a case where the present invention is applied to a sales data processing apparatus having an attendance management function used in a store or the like that pays wages according to working hours, such as a part-time job or a part-time contract employee. It is.

That is, the configuration of the electronic cash register as a sales data processing device to which the billing amount processing device according to the second embodiment is applied is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the card issuing machine. Therefore, it is not particularly shown.

In the second embodiment, the RAM 1
2, a current time data memory 12A, a summer time switching date and time data memory 12F, as shown in FIG.

L, a work area 12J, and the like.

Here, the current time data memory 12A, the daylight saving time data memory 12F, and the work area 12J are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The attendance data memory 12K is shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), each clerk's name,
The time of leaving the office and the working time are stored.

The correction time area 12L stores the correction time to be added to the employee's working time in accordance with daylight saving time switching.

In such a configuration, when the clerk operates the clerk SW capable of identifying each clerk of the input device 22, the operation as shown in FIG. 7 is performed. That is, first, it is determined whether or not the operation input of the clerk SW is an ON operation, that is, a work attendance (step S1).
00). In the case of going to work, the current time stored in the current time data memory 12A is used as the working time,
This is stored in the area corresponding to the clerk in the attendance time data memory 12K (step S102), and this operation ends.

On the other hand, if the operation input of the clerk SW is an OFF operation, that is, leaving the office, the current time stored in the current time data memory 12A is regarded as the leaving time, and the attendance time data memory 12K of the person in charge is stored. It is stored in the area corresponding to the clerk (step S104). Thereafter, the work time is calculated by subtracting the attendance time of the clerk stored in the attendance time data memory 12K from the current time, and the work time is temporarily stored in the work area 12J (step S106). Then, by referring to the daylight saving time switching date / time data memory 12F, it is determined whether or not the daylight saving time has been switched between the above-mentioned work time and the leaving time (step S108). If not, the work time temporarily stored in the work area 12J is determined. The time is stored in the area corresponding to the clerk in the attendance time data memory 12K (step S110), and the operation ends.

When the daylight saving time is switched between the clock-in time and the clock-out time, the work time temporarily stored in the work area 12J is replaced with the correction time area 12D.
The work time is corrected by adding the correction time stored in L (step S112), and the corrected work time is stored in the area corresponding to the clerk in the attendance time data memory 12K in step S110. Will be stored.

Then, for example, when the administrator designates the attendance report output using the input device 22, the report output operation as shown in FIG. 8 is performed, and the report is printed out from the printing device 26.

That is, first, the current time data memory 12A
Is printed in accordance with the current time stored in the clerk, and the name of the clerk whose output is designated is read out from the attendance data memory 12K and printed (step S120). Next, the attendance data memory 12K for each person in charge
Then, the attending time and the leaving time of the clerk are read out and printed (step S122). For example, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, when the user goes to work at 8:00 and leaves at 17:00, the respective times are printed as shown in FIG. 9B. Further, the difference between the readout time and the leaving time is calculated, and the working time is printed (step S124).

Conventionally, a salary (billing amount) is calculated based on the working hours and hourly wage, and printing is performed. Therefore, as shown on the left side of FIG. Nevertheless, salaries that do not take that amount into account are calculated and printed. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by continuing the following processing, an accurate salary is calculated and printed as shown on the right side in FIG. 9B.

That is, following the printing of the working hours, a correction value of the daylight saving time stored in the correction time area 12L is printed (step S126). Is read out and printed as corrected working hours (step S128). Then, the salary is calculated by multiplying the corrected working time by the hourly wage (step S13).
0), hourly wage and salary are printed (step S132).

Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Of course.

For example, attendance data for each person in charge of each person in charge is collected from the terminal to the center device, and the processing shown in FIG. 8 is performed for each person in charge, and a time management report as shown in FIG. It may be printed for each person in charge. The data of the attendance management report may be created by the center device, and the data may be transmitted to the terminal and printed for each person in charge.
