The first display controller 21 is for an operator for displaying a screen for the operator. A display 27 is connected, and a customer display 28 for displaying a screen for the customer is connected to the second display controller 22.

  The printer controller 23 controls the drive of the printer to print the print data on a recording paper. The printer controller 23 prints various information relating to the commercial transaction on receipt paper for each commercial transaction and issues a receipt. A printer 29 is connected.

  The card reader controller 24 captures card data read by the card reader, and a card reader 30 capable of reading card data such as a member code stored in the member card is connected to the card reader controller 24. Has been.

  The scanner interface 25 captures data read by the scanner, and a scanner 31 capable of reading a barcode attached to a product is connected to the scanner interface 25.

  The communication interface 19 controls data communication with an external device connected via a communication line. The communication interface 19 includes a product master file 81, a classification master file 82, and a member master file 83. A store server 8 that is stored and managed so as to be accessible from the POS terminal 1 is connected.

  In the product master file 81, as shown in FIG. 2, product information records composed of item information such as product codes, classification codes, product names, unit prices, sales points, sales amounts, etc. are as many as the number of products sold in the store. Accumulated, stored. The product code is a product-specific identification code set for each product, and the product code is recorded in the form of a barcode on each product. The classification code is a code for identifying the product classification to which the product specified by the corresponding product code belongs. The product name and unit price are the product name and the price per unit quantity specified by the corresponding product code.

  In the classification master file 82, as shown in FIG. 4, classification information records including item information such as classification codes, classification names, sales points, sales amounts, and the like are accumulated and stored for the set number of product classifications. The classification name is the name of the product classification specified by the corresponding classification code.

  In the member master file 83, as shown in FIG. 5, member information records including item information such as member codes, member names, ranks, points, sales points, sales amounts and the like are accumulated and stored for the number of members. . The member code is a member-specific identification code set for each member, and is recorded on a member card possessed by the member. The member name is the name of the member specified by the corresponding member code. The rank is a rank set according to the sales performance of the member specified by the corresponding member code. The point is a cumulative value of points acquired by the member specified by the corresponding member code.

  The ROM 13 of the POS terminal 1 stores an encryption key 131 for encrypting text data.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the EEPROM 14 stores store name data of a store in which the POS terminal 1 is operating and a URL for accessing the receipt management web server 4.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the RAM 15 includes a transaction details buffer 151, a receipt print buffer 152, a member information buffer 153, a flag memory 154 for a registration flag F1, a flag memory 155 for a member transaction flag F2, and the like. Yes.

  Therefore, the CPU 11 processes the commercial transaction with the shopper according to the procedure shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10. That is, the CPU 11 checks the member transaction flag F2 in the flag memory 155 as ST (step) 1. In the initial state, since the member transaction flag F2 is reset, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a member code is input as ST2. If it is determined that the member code has not been input, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a product code has been input in ST3. If it is determined that the product code has not been input, the process returns to ST1.

  In ST2, when it is detected that the member code is input by reading the data of the member card by the card reader 30 or by key operation input of the keyboard 26, the CPU 11 stores the member information in the store server 8 with the input member code as ST4. An inquiry is made, and member information such as the member name, rank, and points set in correspondence with the member code is read from the member master file 83. Then, the member information is stored in the member information buffer 153. Thereafter, if the member transaction flag F2 of the flag memory 155 is set to “1” as ST5, the process returns to ST1. In this case, since the member transaction flag F2 is set, the process proceeds to the product code input presence / absence determination process in ST3.

  In ST3, when it is detected that the product code is input by scanning the product barcode by the scanner 31 or the key operation input of the keyboard 26, the CPU 11 checks the registration flag F1 in the flag memory 154 as ST6. If the registration flag F1 has been reset to “0”, the first item registration in one commercial transaction has been performed, so the CPU 11 clears the transaction detail buffer 151 and the receipt print buffer 152 as ST7. To do. In ST8, the registering flag F1 is set to “1”.

  Next, in step ST9, the CPU 11 inquires the store server 8 about the product information using the input product code, and stores the product information such as the classification code, the product name, and the unit price set corresponding to the product code in the product master file. Read from 81. Then, the product information is stored in the transaction details buffer 151. Further, the CPU 11 inquires of the store server 8 about the classification information with the classification code set corresponding to the product code as ST10, and the classification information such as the classification name set corresponding to the classification code is obtained. Read from the classification master file 82. Then, the classification information is stored in the transaction details buffer 151.

  Next, in step ST11, the CPU 11 sets the unit price and the sales point in the product information (if the multiplier is keyed immediately before the product code is entered, the multiplier, or 1 if the multiplier is not keyed). Multiply to calculate the sales amount. Then, the text data of the sales points and the sales amount is also stored in the transaction details buffer 151. Thereafter, in ST12, the sales point number and sales price data are read from the transaction detail buffer 151 together with the product name and unit price data, and displayed on the operator display 27 and the customer display 28. Further, the CPU 11 reads out each data of the classification name and the sales amount from the transaction details buffer 151 and stores it in the receipt print buffer 152 as ST13.

  Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a subtotal key is input in ST14. If it is determined that there is no subtotal key input, the process returns to ST1.

  When it is detected in ST3 that the next product code has been input, since the registration flag F1 is set, the processing of ST7 and ST13 is omitted, and the processing of ST9 to ST13 is executed again. . Thus, the CPU 11 repeatedly executes each process of ST9 to ST13 every time the product code is input until the subtotal key is input.

  If it is detected that the subtotal key has been operated, the CPU 11 calculates the subtotal amount of the commercial transaction in ST15 and displays it on the operator display 27 and the customer display 28. In ST16, the subtotal amount data is stored in the transaction statement buffer 151.

  Next, the CPU 11 waits for a current key to be input at ST17. If it is detected that the current key is operated and input, since the closing of the commercial transaction is declared, the CPU 11 calculates the change amount by subtracting the deposit amount from the total amount of the commercial transaction in ST18. Then, the change amount data is displayed on the operator display 27 and the customer display 28. The total amount is equal to the subtotal amount, and the deposit amount is the amount entered before the key operation of the current total key. Thereafter, the CPU 11 stores each data of the total amount, the deposit amount and the change amount in the transaction detail buffer 151 as ST19. In step ST20, the total amount data is read from the transaction statement buffer 151 and stored in the receipt print buffer 152.

  Next, the CPU 11 checks the member transaction flag F2 in the flag memory 155 as ST21. Here, when the member transaction flag F2 is set to “1”, since the transaction is a commerce with a shopper contracted as a point member, the CPU 11 stores the data of the sales product registered in the commercial transaction as ST22, Purchase points are calculated based on the rank of member information. Then, the purchase point data is stored in the transaction detail buffer 151.

  Next, the CPU 11 encrypts the data stored in the transaction statement buffer 151 as ST23 and the data stored in the member information buffer 153 with the encryption key 131 stored in the ROM 13. Thereafter, a two-dimensional code is created from the URL and store name data stored in the EEPROM 14 and the encrypted data as ST24.

  In addition, the CPU 11 converts the data stored in the receipt print buffer 152 as ST25 into characters and outputs the data to the printer 29 for receipt printing. Subsequently, in ST26, the two-dimensional code is output to the printer 29 to perform receipt printing, and a receipt is issued.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 outputs a drive signal from the I / O port 18 to open the drawer 17 in ST27. In ST28, sales transaction data is generated from the data in the transaction statement buffer 151 and the data in the member information buffer 153. In step ST29, the sales transaction data is transmitted to the store server 8. Thereafter, the CPU 11 resets both the registration flag F1 and the member transaction flag F2 to “0” in ST30, and ends the processing for the commercial transaction.

  On the other hand, if the member transaction flag F2 is reset to “0” in ST21, the transaction is a commercial transaction with a shopper who is not contracted as a point member, so the CPU 11 is stored in the transaction statement buffer 151 as ST31. Data is encrypted with the encryption key 131 stored in the ROM 13. Thereafter, a two-dimensional code is created from the URL and store name data stored in the EEPROM 14 as ST32 and the encrypted data.

  Further, the CPU 11 converts the data stored in the receipt print buffer 152 as ST33 into a character and outputs it to the printer 29 to print the receipt. Subsequently, in ST34, the two-dimensional code is output to the printer 29 to perform receipt printing, and a receipt is issued.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 outputs a drive signal from the I / O port 18 to open the drawer 17 as ST35. In ST36, sales transaction data is generated with the data in the transaction details buffer 151. In ST37, the sales transaction data is transmitted to the store server 8. Thereafter, the CPU 11 resets the registration flag F1 to “0” in ST38, and ends the processing for the commercial transaction.

  Here, the POS terminal 1 according to the present embodiment generates public information to be transcribed on the receipt from various information relating to the commercial transaction, that is, each data of the classification name, sales amount, and total amount of the registered product. Non-public information, that is, registered product classification code, product name, classification name, unit price, sales points, sales amount, subtotal amount, total amount, deposit amount, change amount, purchase point, member name, rank, accumulated points It has information generation means (ST4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 16, 19, 20, 22) for generating data. Further, the public information for one commercial transaction is stored in the receipt print buffer 152, and the non-public information is stored in the transaction details buffer 151 and the member information buffer 153. The public information stored in the receipt print buffer 152 is printed as characters, and the non-public information stored in the transaction details buffer 151 and the member information buffer 153 is printed on the receipt as a two-dimensional code (ST24, 25, 26, 32, 33, 34).

  Further, the POS terminal 1 of the present embodiment has encryption means (ST23, 31) for encrypting the secret information stored in the transaction details buffer 151 and the member information buffer 153 with a predetermined encryption key. ing. Then, the print control means (ST24, 25, 26, 32, 33, 34) converts the data encrypted by the encryption means into a two-dimensional code together with the store name data and the URL of the receipt management web server 4 to obtain a receipt. Is printed.

Next, the receipt management web server 4 will be described.
FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the receipt management web server 4. In addition to the CPU 41, the ROM 42, and the RAM 43, the receipt management web server 4 includes an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) device 44 that is a storage unit for the user file 6 and a communication interface 45 that manages data communication using the Internet. The CPU 41, ROM 42, RAM 43, HDD device 44, and communication interface 45 are connected by a bus line 46.

  The ROM 42 stores a decryption key 421 corresponding to the encryption key 131 included in the POS terminal 1.

  In the user file 6, as shown in FIG. 12, user information such as mobile phone number information, passwords, membership codes, and forwarding mail addresses is registered for each user. The mobile phone unique information is unique ID information preset in the mobile phone 5 and functions as user registration information. A mobile phone number, a mobile mail address, or the like may be used instead of the ID information. The member code is a point member identification code assigned when a contract is made as a point member at a store using this system. The forwarding mail address is the mail address of the user terminal 7 that the user has applied for receipt information.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a main processing procedure executed by the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4. FIG. 14 is a screen transition diagram of the mobile phone 5. Hereinafter, a mechanism in which the shopper confirms the contents of the two-dimensional code 3 printed on the receipt 2 will be described with reference to these drawings.

  First, the shopper who receives the receipt 2 reads and operates the two-dimensional code printed on the receipt using the scanner function of the mobile phone 5 (state A in FIG. 14). When the two-dimensional code is read, the URL included in the two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen (state B in FIG. 14), and the shopper inputs the connection button. As a result, the connection request command is transmitted from the mobile phone 5 to the receipt management web server 4 specified by the URL on the Internet. This connection request command includes unique information of the mobile phone.

  The CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 stands by for a connection request command from the mobile phone 5 (ST41 in FIG. 13). When the connection request command is received, the unique information of the mobile phone 5 included in the command is acquired (ST42 in FIG. 13), and it is determined whether or not the unique information is registered in the user file 6 (FIG. 13). ST43). If registered, the CPU 41 reads out user registration information such as a password, a membership code, and a transfer mail address registered in the user file 6 corresponding to the mobile phone specific information (FIG. 13). ST44). In addition, a password input screen is transmitted via the Internet to the mobile phone 5 that has made a connection request (ST45 in FIG. 13).

  Thereby, the password input screen is downloaded to the mobile phone 5 and displayed on the screen (state C in FIG. 14). Therefore, the shopper inputs a password registered in advance, and inputs an OK button.

  When the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 detects that a password has been input from the mobile phone 5 (ST46 in FIG. 13), whether the password matches the password in the user registration information read from the user file 6 or not. Is determined (ST47 in FIG. 13). If they match, the authentication by the password is approved, and the CPU 41 transmits a receipt data request screen to the mobile phone 5 via the Internet (ST48 in FIG. 13).

  Thereby, the receipt data request screen is downloaded to the mobile phone 5 and displayed on the screen (state D in FIG. 14). Therefore, the shopper inputs the send button. Then, receipt data other than the URL included in the two-dimensional code 3 is transmitted from the mobile phone to the receipt management web server 4 (state E in FIG. 14).

  When receiving the receipt data of the two-dimensional code 3 from the mobile phone 5 (ST49 in FIG. 13), the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 decrypts the receipt data using the decryption key 421 stored in the ROM 42. (ST50 in FIG. 13).

  Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not member information such as a member code and a member name is included in the combined receipt data (ST51 in FIG. 13). If the member information is included, since it is the data of the receipt 2 issued in the transaction with the shopper registered as the point member, the CPU 41 reads the member code in the member information from the user file 6. It is determined whether or not it matches the membership code in the issued user registration information (ST52 in FIG. 13). If they match, the shopper, who is a point member, has read the two-dimensional code 3 of the receipt 2 with the mobile phone 5 that he / she has registered as a user. Then, a transmission completion screen is transmitted (step ST53 in FIG. 13).

  Thereby, the transmission completion screen is downloaded and displayed on the mobile phone 5 (state F in FIG. 14). Therefore, the shopper inputs the end button.

  On the other hand, after transmitting the transmission request screen, the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 creates an e-mail in which the decrypted receipt data is described as text data (ST54 in FIG. 13). Then, the electronic mail is transmitted with the forwarding mail address in the user registration information read from the user file 6 as the destination (ST55 in FIG. 13). Thus, the CPU 41 ends the process for the connection request of the mobile phone 5.

  If member information is not included in the decrypted receipt data (ST52 in FIG. 13), a transmission completion screen is transmitted unconditionally to the mobile phone 5 (ST53 in FIG. 13). Further, an e-mail in which the decrypted receipt data is described as text data is created (ST54 in FIG. 13), and this e-mail is transferred to the transfer destination e-mail address in the user registration information read from the user file 6. As a destination (ST55 in FIG. 13).

  Further, when the unique information of the mobile phone 5 is not registered in the user file 6 (ST43 in FIG. 13), the password entered in the mobile phone 5 is read from the user file 6 and the password in the user registration information If they do not match (ST47 in FIG. 13), and if the member codes do not match (ST52 in FIG. 13), the CPU 41 transmits an error screen to the mobile phone 5 via the Internet ( In ST56 in FIG. 13, the process for the connection request of the mobile phone 5 is terminated.

  Here, the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 searches for the user search means (ST42, ST43) for searching whether or not the unique information of the accessed mobile phone 5 is stored in the user file 6, and the user search means (ST42, ST43). When it is found in ST43) that the unique information of the accessed mobile phone 5 is stored in the user file 6, the two-dimensional code read by the mobile phone 5 is analyzed and the non-public information text data And the e-mail created by the e-mail creation means (ST47 to ST53) corresponding to the specific information of the mobile phone 5 A mail transmission means (ST54) for transmitting to the e-mail address stored in the user file 6; It is provided.

  Now, 2 items of "Daikon (produced in Shizuoka Prefecture)" with a unit price of 150 yen belonging to the product category "Yasai" and 1 item of "Hakusai (produced in Kanagawa Prefecture)" with a unit price of 150 yen belonging to the product category "Yasai" And a point of purchasing a total of 6 items, 1 item of “Yoshii Loin” for 300 grams belonging to the product category “Nikurui” and 1 item for “150 milk” unit price belonging to the product category “Iriyo” Suppose there is a member shopper.

  When the sales data of the product purchased by the shopper is registered in the POS terminal 1 according to the present embodiment, the receipt 2 having the contents shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the receipt 2 is printed with characters such as kana and numbers as the classification name and sales amount, which are schematic information of the purchased product, and the minimum amount required as a receipt. On the other hand, the product name, unit price, number of sales points, which are detailed information of the purchased product, the deposit amount, change amount, which is detailed information of payment information, current points, cumulative points, member names, etc., which are personal information of the shopper The two-dimensional code 3 is printed.

  A person cannot understand the information contained in the code only by looking at the two-dimensional code 3. Therefore, it is difficult to know the specific product name of the product purchased by the shopper and the number of purchases only by looking at the receipt. Similarly, it is difficult to know the payment amount (deposit amount), change amount, or personal information such as points and names. As a result, even if the receipt 2 is viewed by others, the privacy of the shopper can be sufficiently protected.

  On the other hand, if the shopper wants to confirm the detailed business transaction information that has been two-dimensionally encoded, he / she registers with the receipt management headquarters and uses the scanner function of the mobile phone 5 to obtain the two-dimensional code 3 on the receipt 2. Read. Then, an e-mail of receipt data included in the two-dimensional code 3 is transmitted to the e-mail address of the user terminal 7 set in advance by the shopper. When this e-mail is opened at the user terminal 7, receipt data having the contents shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 7.

  By confirming this receipt data screen, the shopper can check the name of the store, the name of the product purchased at the store, the number of points purchased, the unit price and the purchase amount, and the subtotal amount, total amount, deposit amount, change amount. Etc. can be easily confirmed. In addition, it is possible to easily know personal information such as points given in the current commercial transaction and accumulated points up to now.

  In other words, since the detailed receipt printing information can be confirmed only at the user terminal 7 designated by the shopper, the privacy of the shopper can be reliably protected.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the transfer destination of the receipt data that has been two-dimensionally encoded is limited to the user terminal 7 having the mail address specified in advance. However, the user may be able to specify the transfer destination as necessary. .

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the main processing procedure executed by the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 in this case, and FIG. 17 shows a screen transition diagram of the mobile phone 5. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the part which is common in FIG.13 and FIG.12.

  That is, until the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 authenticates the password, it is the same as in the above embodiment (ST41 to ST47). When the password entered on the mobile phone 5 matches the password in the user registration information read from the user file 6 (ST47 in FIG. 16), the CPU 41 sends a receipt to the mobile phone 5 via the Internet. A destination confirmation screen is transmitted (ST61 in FIG. 16).

  Thereby, the receipt transmission destination confirmation screen is downloaded to the mobile phone 5 and displayed on the screen (state G in FIG. 17). Therefore, the shopper decides whether or not to input a receipt data transmission destination. Then, an input operation is performed using the “Yes” button when inputting, and the “No” button when not inputting.

  When the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 detects that the “No” button is operated on the mobile phone 5, it determines that the receipt destination of the receipt data is not designated (ST62 in FIG. 16). In this case, the same processing as ST49 to ST55 of the above embodiment is executed.

  On the other hand, when it is detected that the “Yes” button has been operated on the mobile phone 5, it is determined that the receipt data transmission destination is designated (ST62 in FIG. 16). Then, the CPU 41 transmits a receipt transmission destination input screen to the mobile phone 5 via the Internet (ST63 in FIG. 13).

  Thereby, the receipt transmission destination input screen is downloaded to the mobile phone 5 and displayed on the screen (state H in FIG. 17). Therefore, the shopper inputs an e-mail address to which the receipt data is to be transmitted, and inputs a send button. Then, the input mail address and receipt data other than the URL included in the two-dimensional code 3 are transmitted from the mobile phone to the receipt management web server 4 (state E in FIG. 17).

  When receiving the mail address from the mobile phone 5 (ST64 in FIG. 16), the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 stores the mail address in the RAM 43 (ST65 in FIG. 16). Subsequently, when receipt data of the two-dimensional code 3 is received from the mobile phone 5 (ST66 in FIG. 16), the CPU 41 decrypts the receipt data using the decryption key 421 stored in the ROM 42 (FIG. 16). ST67).

  Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not member information such as a member code and a member name is included in the decrypted receipt data (ST68 in FIG. 16). If the member information is included, since it is the data of the receipt 2 issued in the transaction with the shopper registered as a point member, the CPU 41 reads the member code in the member information from the user file 6. It is determined whether or not it matches the membership code in the user registration information (ST69 in FIG. 16). If they match, the shopper, who is a point member, has read the two-dimensional code 3 of the receipt 2 with the mobile phone 5 that he / she has registered as a user. Then, a transmission completion screen is transmitted (step ST70 in FIG. 16).

  Thereby, the transmission completion screen is downloaded and displayed on the mobile phone 5 (state F in FIG. 17). Therefore, the shopper inputs the end button.

  On the other hand, after transmitting the transmission request screen, the CPU 41 of the receipt management web server 4 creates an e-mail in which the decrypted receipt data is described as text data (ST71 in FIG. 16). Then, this e-mail is transmitted with the e-mail address input from the mobile phone 5 stored in the RAM 43 as the destination (ST72 in FIG. 16). Thus, the CPU 41 ends the process for the connection request of the mobile phone 5.

  In the receipt management system having such a configuration, the user can restore the restored receipt not only to the set user terminal 7 in which the e-mail address is registered in advance, but also to a terminal having a desired e-mail address as necessary. Data can be transmitted.

  In the above embodiment, the user identification data registered as a user is the unique information of the mobile phone, but it may be a membership code set on a membership card or the like. For a commercial transaction with a point member having a membership card, the member code of the point member is included in the two-dimensional code as non-public information. Therefore, the user file is searched with the member code obtained by analyzing this two-dimensional code, the forwarding mail address set in advance corresponding to the member code is read, and this mail address is made private as a destination. An informational e-mail may be sent.

For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, the constituent elements over different embodiments may be combined.
