2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in this type of product sales data processing apparatus, a PLU in which product information such as a product name and a sales price is set in advance in a memory in accordance with a unique product code assigned to each product. When a product code of a product is input by a barcode scanner or the like, a PLU file is searched to read out product information such as a product name and a selling price corresponding to the input product code, and based on the product information, Perform sales registration processing, display processing of product name, price, etc., print processing on receipt paper or journal paper, etc., and after the final payment, issue a receipt so that the cashier can hand it to the customer. ing. For this reason, this type of product sales data processing apparatus always includes a receipt printer.

[0003] Here, the receipt is printed with sales information in order to clarify the details of the sales product, and is useful for the customer to confirm the correctness of the sales registration process and to keep a household account book. Recently, it often serves as a receipt or parking lot service ticket. In consideration of such circumstances, it is necessary to issue a receipt when selling products, and many stores actually issue receipts as described above.

[0004]

However, in actual product sales, even if a receipt is issued after receipt of money, many customers do not receive the receipt. For this reason, even some stores provide a disposal box for disposing of unnecessary receipts beside the POS terminal or the like.

[0005] Although this depends on the individual difference between customers, it is generally considered that the receipt does not have the above-mentioned role and function in some cases. For example, if you buy a small amount of money, it is rarely added to the household account book, or
Since it rarely plays a role as a receipt or parking lot service ticket, many customers do not receive receipts.
In addition, when shopping with a small number of items, it is often possible to easily check the correctness of the total amount and the like without a receipt, even if there is no receipt. Many customers do not receive receipts. In particular, in the case of shopping for only one item, there are many cases where a receipt is not received. Such a situation is considered to be particularly remarkable in a store such as a convenience store where a large amount of shopping and a small number of products are purchased.

[0006] Considering the circumstances in which a customer does not receive a receipt even if it is issued, it is not advisable to always issue a receipt when selling a product, and it will be issued even if a receipt becomes unnecessary. It wastes the printing paper cost and the power consumption for driving the receipt printer for printing. In particular, when the receipt printer is constituted by a thermal printer, the thermal paper used as the printing paper is expensive, so that the waste of the paper cost increases.

In addition, according to the conventional receipt issuing system, receipt information is printed by printing sales information on printing paper at a character size and a feed pitch that always prioritize legibility. When a large number of merchandise items (number of items) such as individual items are purchased, the length of the issued receipt becomes very long. As a result, when the receipt is issued in a rolled state or the received customer is put in a wallet or the like, the customer must fold it down in two or four folds, which is inconvenient and difficult to handle.

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus capable of automatically selecting a receipt issuing format according to the wishes of a member customer, a method of selecting a receipt printing format, and a program.

When a customer purchases a product, the sales registration process for the purchased product is completed in any POS terminal 2 (step S in FIG. 8).
1), point service related processing is executed.

First, when the customer presents the membership card C, the cashier operates the "customer point" key 9e. The POS control unit 14 operates the “customer point” key 9
When the operation of e is detected (Y in step S2), a point value calculation process based on the current purchase price is executed (step S3).

Next, for the presented member card C, I
The C code reader / writer 12 performs reading to obtain a member code (step S4), and uses the member code as a key to query the member server 7 via the store computer 4 for points and a receipt issue format (step S4). S5). The point inquiry includes the calculated current point value. Here, a part of the function of the issuance section acquisition unit is executed.

The member server 7 receiving these inquiries recognizes that it includes a point accumulation inquiry as shown in FIG. 9 (Y in step S21), and based on the inquired member code, the member master. Search file F3,
The member master file F3 is updated by adding the current point value to the member master file F3, and the updated accumulated point value is read (step S22).

In addition, the receipt selection file F4 is searched based on the inquired member code, and data relating to receipt issue format selection (“receipt issue format N”).
o. )) Is read out (step S23).

Thereafter, a message including the read cumulative point value and data (“receipt issue format No.”) related to receipt issue format selection is set (step S2).
4) Respond the message to the POS terminal 2 that made the inquiry (step S25). Here, a part of the function of the issuance section acquisition unit is executed.

After receiving this response, the POS terminal 2 inquiring about the point value and the receipt issuing format checks whether the closing key such as the deposit / current total key 9c has been operated (step S6), and operates the closing key. If it has been performed (Y in step S6), the closing process is executed (step S7). In the closing processing, processing such as transmitting the sales registration data subjected to the sales registration processing to the store computer 4 is performed. The sales registration data transmitted to the store computer 4 is stored in the sales file F2.

Thereafter, the flow advances to step S8 to execute a receipt issuing process. Here, the function of the receipt issuing means is executed. The receipt issuing process is executed based on the “receipt issuing format No.” received from the member server 7. A description will be given below for each “receipt issue format number”.

If the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “1”, the transaction data including the accumulated point value information is printed by the printer 19 on the printing paper at the standard pitch and standard character. It prints in size and issues a standard receipt (normal receipt) R1 as shown in FIG.

When the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “2”, the transaction data including the information of the accumulated point value is printed by the printer 19 on the printing paper as compared with the normal printing. A print (reduced receipt) R having a shorter length than the normal receipt as shown in FIG.
Issue 2. By issuing the reduced receipt R2 in this manner, it is possible to keep the receipt length short even if the number of purchased goods is large, and to facilitate handling of the receipt when putting the receipt in a wallet or the like. And the consumption of printing paper can be reduced.

If the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “3”, only the total amount is printed on the printing paper by the printer 19 without printing the details of the sales merchandise. Then, a receipt R3 having a shorter length than the normal receipt as shown in FIG. In this way, for customers who want to check only the total amount, the receipt R3 is issued only for the total amount printed with only the total amount while eliminating wasteful sales details and the like, thereby reducing the consumption of printing paper. It becomes possible to do.

If the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “4”, the printer 1
9, the process is terminated without issuing a receipt. As a result, no receipt is issued to the customer who does not need the receipt from the beginning, so that waste of printing paper and power consumption for printing are reduced.

If the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “5”, only the total amount is printed on the printing paper by the printer 19 without printing the details of the sales product. A receipt R4 as shown in FIG. 13 is issued. As a result, when the receipt R4 is issued, it is possible to prevent another receipt from being issued unnecessarily, thereby making it possible to reduce the amount of printing paper consumed.

If the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “6”, the receipt information (receipt image, CSV format data, etc.) is transmitted by e-mail to a personal computer designated by the buyer. And so on. More specifically, receipt information (such as a receipt image or CSV format data) is generated based on accumulated point value information, transaction data, and the like, and the receipt information is stored in the member information (e-mail) stored in the member master file F3. The address is transmitted from the store computer 4 to an electronic device (not shown) such as a personal computer of the member via the Internet according to the address.
This makes it possible to directly import transaction data generated based on the product sales registration process into household account book software or the like installed in an electronic device such as a personal computer of the member, thereby greatly improving usability. I do.

If the “receipt issue format number” received from the member server 7 is “7”, the receipt information (such as CSV format data) is stored in the EEPRO of the member card C.
M is written using the IC card reader / writer 12. More specifically, receipt information (CSV format data or the like) is generated based on the information on the total point value or transaction data, and the receipt information is written into the EEPROM of the member card C inserted in the IC card reader / writer 12. It is what is done. As a result, the transaction data generated based on the sales registration processing of the product is stored in the EEPR of the member card C.
Since the transaction data can be output from the EEPROM of the member card C when the data is required, the usability is remarkably improved.

After executing the receipt issuing process based on the “receipt issuing format No.” received from the member server 7 as described above, the current transaction ends. Here, the function of the receipt issuing means is executed.

On the other hand, when the customer presents the member card C and desires to perform the discount processing by points, the member card C presented by the customer is received and the "point discount" key 9f is operated. When the POS control unit 14 detects the operation of the "point discount" key 9f (Y in step S9), the POS control unit 14 executes a point value calculation process related to the current discount process (step S10). Step S
In the point value calculation process of the current discount process in No. 9, the point value is calculated as, for example, the discount amount / the amount per point.

Next, regarding the presented member card C, I
The member card is obtained by reading with the C card reader / writer 12 (step S11), and a request for the point subtraction processing and an inquiry about the receipt issuing format are sent to the member server 7 via the store computer 4 using the member code as a key. Perform (Step S12). The request for the point subtraction processing includes the calculated current subtraction point value in addition to the member code. Here, a part of the function of the issuance section acquisition unit is executed.

At the member server 7 receiving this inquiry,
As shown in FIG. 9, it is recognized as a point subtraction inquiry (Y in step S26), the member master file F3 is searched based on the inquired member code, and the current point value is obtained from the point value of the member master file F3. Is subtracted to update the member master file F3, and the subtracted accumulated point value is read (step S27).

In addition, the receipt selection file F4 is searched based on the inquired member code, and data relating to the receipt issue format selection (“receipt issue format N”).
o. )) Is read out (step S28).

Thereafter, a message including the subtracted cumulative point value and data (“receipt issue format No.”) relating to receipt issue format selection is set (step S2).
9) Respond the message to the inquiring POS terminal 2 (step S30). Here, a part of the function of the issuance section acquisition unit is executed.

After receiving this response, the POS terminal 2 inquiring about the point value and the receipt issuing format checks whether a closing key such as the deposit / current total key 9c has been operated (step S13), and operates the closing key. If it has been performed (Y in step S13), the closing process is executed (step S1).
