Description

  The present invention relates to a POS system and a service providing method.

  Conventionally, a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal device capable of issuing a receipt is known. For example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-133287) describes a POS terminal device that issues a receipt together with a service ticket. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-44494 discloses an electronic cash register capable of printing a commercial message on a receipt.

  However, since a user who does not need a receipt throws out the receipt immediately, the issued receipt is wasted. An electronic cash register capable of solving this problem is described in Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 56-166578).

  Patent Document 3 describes an electronic cash register capable of setting whether or not to issue a receipt. Note that since the electronic cash register described in Patent Document 3 handles money, whether or not to issue a receipt is set by a seller using the electronic cash register.

  Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-308696) describes a merchandise sales data processing apparatus capable of setting whether or not to issue a parking ticket. In addition, since the merchandise sales data processing apparatus described in Patent Document 4 handles money, whether or not to issue a parking ticket is set by a merchant who uses the merchandise sales data processing apparatus.

In addition, service providers that provide special services such as member services to users who have provided personal information are known.

  In the electronic cash register described in Patent Document 3, whether or not to issue a receipt is set by a seller using the electronic cash register. For this reason, the user needs to perform a cumbersome operation of verbally telling the merchant using the electronic cash register his / her own request whether or not a receipt is required while paying money. there were.

  In the merchandise sales data processing apparatus described in Patent Literature 4, the setting of whether or not to issue a parking ticket is performed by a merchandise seller who uses the merchandise sales data processing apparatus. For this reason, the user performs the troublesome operation of verbally communicating his request whether or not the parking ticket is necessary to the merchandise seller using the merchandise sales data processing apparatus while paying money. There was a need.

  In addition, when receiving a special service such as a member service, the user needs to provide the service provider with personal information such as an address, name, telephone number, date of birth, and possibly more. However, since the personal information provided to the service provider may be leaked to a third party, the user sometimes feels uncomfortable in providing important personal information to the service provider.

  An object of the present invention is to prevent a troublesome operation in which a user verbally communicates his request to a service provider such as a seller while paying money, and a service that can be provided by information provided by the user It is to provide a POS system and a service providing method capable of automatically providing a service to a user.

  In order to achieve the above object, a POS system of the present invention is a POS system for recording product sales information, a recording medium, a registration unit for recording information about a user on the recording medium, and a product for the user. An acquisition unit that acquires information recorded on the recording medium by the registration unit when recording sales information of the registration, and a POS that provides the user with a service according to the information acquired by the acquisition unit Terminal device.

  The service providing method of the present invention is a service providing method performed by a POS system that records product sales information, and the POS system includes a registration unit, an acquisition unit, and a POS terminal device. A registration step of recording information about the user in a recording medium, and an acquisition step of acquiring information recorded on the recording medium in the registration step by the acquisition unit when recording the sales information of the product for the user And a service providing step in which the POS terminal device provides the user with a service corresponding to the information obtained in the obtaining step.

For this reason, even if the user data registration unit 2 and the user data reading unit 3 are installed at a distance, the user data recording medium 1 can be moved back and forth while being carried by the user.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a POS system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the same components as those shown in FIG.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention, the user data recording medium 1 such as a memory is not stored in a portable recording medium but is held in a server 7 on the Internet. The server 7 can be connected to the user data registration unit 2 and the POS terminal device 4 (specifically, the communication unit 8) via a communication line.

  The user data registration unit 2 records the transmitted information on the user data recording medium 1 in the server 7 by transmitting the information input by the user to the server 7.

  The communication unit 8 as an acquisition unit transmits request information for requesting information recorded in the user data recording medium 1 in the server 7 to the server 7. When the server 7 receives the request information, the server 7 transmits information recorded in the user data recording medium 1 in the server 7 to the communication unit 8. The communication unit 8 supplies information recorded in the user data recording medium 1 acquired from the server 7 to the data analysis unit 6.

  According to the second embodiment, the first and second effects are achieved. Further, since the server 7 holds the user data recording medium 1, the user does not need to carry the user data recording medium 1. Further, the POS terminal device 4 can acquire the information recorded on the user data recording medium 1 many times via the server 7. For this reason, every time a user uses the user data recording medium 1, it is possible to prevent a troublesome operation of recording information on a new user data recording medium 1.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the illustrated configuration is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration.

It is the block diagram which showed the POS system of one Example of this invention. It is the block diagram which showed the POS system of the other Example of this invention.
