Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 07-037164

  As described above, in the conventional merchandise sales data processing apparatus, additional information such as sales promotion information not related to the commercial transaction can be printed on the receipt on which the detailed data of the commercial transaction is printed. Since the contents were fixed information derived based on preset conditions, it was impossible to confirm whether additional information appropriate for the customer was printed.

  The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus capable of checking the printed contents of a receipt before the receipt is issued. .

  The present invention, for example, in a merchandise sales data processing apparatus such as a POS terminal, which processes sales data of merchandise sold as one commercial transaction, calculates the total amount of the commercial transaction and displays it on the display unit, and prints and issues a receipt. A receipt image display means for displaying a receipt image indicating a print image of the receipt on the display section before printing the receipt, and a receipt of the print image indicated by the receipt image displayed on the display section by the receipt image display means is printed. And a receipt issue control means for issuing.

  By taking such means, a receipt image showing a print image of the receipt is displayed on the display unit before the receipt is issued. Thereafter, a receipt of a print image displayed as the receipt image is issued by operating a predetermined key, for example.

  According to the present invention in which such measures are taken, it is possible to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus capable of checking the printed contents of a receipt before the receipt is issued.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a POS terminal capable of issuing the receipt 1 having the layout shown in FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a POS terminal according to the present embodiment. In this POS terminal, a keyboard 12 is provided on the front surface of a housing 11, and a touch panel 13 as an operator display and a customer display 14 are attached to an upper surface. A receipt printer 15 is built in, and the receipt 1 printed by the printer 15 is issued from a receipt issuing port 16 on the front side of the housing.

  The keyboard 12 is used for data processing relating to commercial transactions such as a numeric key for inputting numerical data such as the number of items sold and a deposit amount, a subtotal key for instructing output of a subtotal, and a closing key for declaring registration closing of a commercial transaction. Various necessary keys are arranged. The keyboard 12 functions as an input unit for inputting character data such as a sales promotion message when entering a receipt editing mode described later.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a control circuit configuration of the POS terminal. This POS terminal is equipped with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21 as a control unit main body. The CPU 21 is connected to a ROM (Read Only Memory) 23 and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 24 that constitute a main storage unit, an electronic journal storage unit 25, a clock via a bus line 22 such as an address bus and a data bus. The control unit of the POS terminal is configured by connecting the unit 26, the communication controller 27, the scanner interface 28, the drawer interface 29, the keyboard controller 30, the display controller 31, the touch panel controller 32, and the printer controller 33.

  The electronic journal storage unit 25 is a part for accumulating and storing digitized journal data, and is configured by, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) device. The clock unit 26 is a part for measuring the current date and time. The communication controller 27 is a part that controls data transmission / reception with a POS server connected by wire or wireless. The scanner interface 28 is a part to which a scanner for reading a barcode or the like is connected. The scanner is not limited to a barcode reader, and may be a two-dimensional code reader, a wireless tag reader, or the like. The drawer interface 29 is a part to which a drawer for receiving cash as a change reserve is connected. An automatic change machine interface may be provided instead of the drawer interface 29 so that change is automatically paid out from the automatic change machine. The keyboard controller 30 is a part for inputting a key signal corresponding to an operation key from the keyboard 12. The display controller 31 is a part that controls data display on the customer display 14. The touch panel controller 32 controls the data display of the display unit 131 constituting the touch panel 13 and inputs a signal of the touch panel sensor 132 provided on the screen of the display unit 131. The printer controller 33 is a part that controls the receipt printing and issuing operation of the receipt printer 15.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the POS terminal configured as described above has, as a memory area necessary for receipt printing, merchandise sales data such as codes, sales points, sales amounts, etc. of each product sold as one commercial transaction, its total price, and storage. Transaction detail memory 41 for storing commercial transaction detail data such as the amount of money, change amount, receipt development memory 42 for developing receipt print image data, default message memory 43 for storing default data for messages printed as additional information on receipts A message editing memory 44, which is an area for editing the message data, a default CM image memory 45 for storing default data of a commercial image printed as additional information on a receipt, and a plurality of other data for the commercial image can be stored. Variable CM image memory 46 etc. It is formed in RAM24.

  Therefore, this POS terminal has a program configured such that the CPU 21 controls the printing and printing of a receipt for one commercial transaction in accordance with the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  When the product is registered via the keyboard 12 or the scanner, the CPU 21 executes a sales registration process as ST (step) 1. That is, the sales data of the registered product is acquired based on the product data input through the keyboard 12 or the scanner, and the product sales data is displayed on the touch panel 13 and the customer display 14 and registered in the transaction details memory 41. To do. CPU21 performs the said sales registration process, whenever the goods sold as one commercial transaction are registered. As a result, the transaction details memory 41 stores the sales data and the total data of each product sold in one commercial transaction.

  Thereafter, when the closing key for declaring closing of one commercial transaction is operated, the CPU 21 executes a settlement process as ST2. That is, a commercial transaction is settled from the total data of products sold as one commercial transaction and the input payment data. For example, if the input payment data is cash deposit amount data, the total amount is subtracted from the deposit amount to obtain a change amount and displayed on the touch panel 13 and the customer display 14. Also, payment data such as the total amount, deposit amount, and change amount is registered in the transaction details memory 41.

  Next, the CPU 21 executes receipt image data creation processing in ST3. That is, based on the merchandise sales data and payment data stored in the transaction details memory 41, print image data of a receipt on which the details of the one commercial transaction are printed is written in the receipt development memory 42. At this time, if the default data of the message is stored in the default message memory 43, the default data is added to the receipt development memory 42 so that the message is printed at the top of the receipt. If the default data of the commercial image is stored in the default CM image memory 45, the default data is added to the receipt development memory 42 so that the commercial image is printed at the end portion of the receipt.

Next, the CPU 21 executes a receipt image creation process as ST4. That is, a receipt image showing a print image of the receipt is formed from the print image data stored in the receipt development memory 42, and a receipt edit screen 50 including the receipt image is displayed on the touch panel 13 (receipt image display means).
An example of the receipt edit screen 50 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the receipt edit screen 50 displays a receipt image 51 and key images of a message edit key 52, a message addition key 53, a commercial change key 54, a commercial addition key 55, and a confirmation key 56. As a result, the POS terminal enters the receipt edit mode.

  Next, the CPU 21 waits for any one of the message editing key 52, the message addition key 53, the commercial change key 54, the commercial addition key 55, and the confirmation key 56 to be touch-inputted.

  If it is detected in ST5 that the message editing key 52 has been touch-inputted, the CPU 21 executes a message editing process for changing or deleting the message data of the receipt image 51 (image editing means). When detecting that the message addition key 53 is touch-inputted, the CPU 21 executes a message addition process for adding message data to the receipt image 51 (image editing means). When it is detected that the commercial edit key 54 has been touch-inputted, the CPU 21 executes a commercial change process for changing or deleting the commercial image data of the receipt image 51 (image editing means). When it is detected that the commercial addition key 55 has been touch-inputted, the CPU 21 executes a commercial addition process for adding commercial image data to the receipt image 51 (image editing means).

  Each time the message editing process, the message adding process, the commercial changing process, or the commercial adding process is executed, the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4, and receives the receipt from the print image data stored in the receipt development memory 42. The receipt image 51 showing the print image is formed again, and the receipt edit screen 50 including the receipt image 51 is displayed on the touch panel 13 (receipt image display means).

  On the other hand, if it is detected in ST9 that the enter key 56 has been touch-input, the POS terminal exits the receipt edit mode. Then, the CPU 21 outputs the print image data stored in the receipt development memory 42 as ST10 to the receipt printer 15 to perform receipt printing and to issue a receipt (receipt issue control means). Thus, the receipt print issuing process for one commercial transaction is completed.

  As described above, in the POS terminal of the present embodiment, when a product to be sold as one commercial transaction is registered, and then the closing key is operated to declare the closing of the commercial transaction, the touch panel 13 which is an operator display is displayed. As a receipt editing screen 50, a receipt image 51 showing a print image of a receipt relating to the transaction is displayed. Thereafter, by touching the confirmation key 56 on the receipt editing screen 50, a receipt corresponding to the receipt image 51 is printed by the receipt printer 15 and issued from the receipt issuing port 16.

  Therefore, the operator of the POS terminal, so-called cashier, can check the printed contents of the receipt before the receipt is issued. As a result, for example, when additional information such as a message inappropriate for a customer or a commercial image is printed, it is possible to easily take measures such as painting the portion black and then delivering it to the customer.

  Next, the processing procedure of the message editing process, the message adding process, the commercial changing process, and the commercial adding process will be specifically described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the main processing procedure of the message editing process. When the message editing key 52 on the receipt editing screen 50 is touched in the receipt editing mode, the CPU 21 starts this message editing process.

  First, message data ("Thank you for your purchase" in the figure) is extracted from the print image data stored in the receipt development memory 42 as ST11 and stored in the message editing memory 44. Next, the CPU 21 causes the touch panel 13 to display a message editing screen 60 having a layout shown in FIG. On the message editing screen 60, key images of the confirmation key 61 and the deletion key 62 are displayed together with the receipt image 51. In addition, the message window 63 is opened and a message corresponding to the message data in the message editing memory 44 is displayed.

Next, the CPU 21 waits for message data to be input or for the enter key 61 or the delete key 62 to be touch-input.
Here, when message data is input by key operation of the keyboard 12 as ST13, the CPU 21 deletes the message data in the message editing memory 44 as ST16, and stores the message data input by key instead. . As a result, the message in the message window 63 is also changed to a message corresponding to the keyed message data. Thereafter, it waits for the enter key 61 to be touch-inputted.

  When the delete key 62 is touch-input in ST14, the CPU 21 deletes the message data in the message editing memory 44 in ST17. As a result, the message in the message window 63 is also deleted. Thereafter, it waits for the enter key 61 to be touch-inputted.

  When the confirmation key 61 is touch-input in ST15, the CPU 21 changes the message data stored in the receipt development memory 42 in ST18 to the contents of the message editing memory 44. That is, if message data has been stored, the message data in the receipt development memory 42 is changed to the stored message data. If message data has been deleted, the message data in the receipt development memory 42 is changed. delete. Thereafter, if the message editing screen 60 is deleted in ST19, the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4.

  As described above, in the POS terminal of the present embodiment, the screen of the touch panel 13 is switched to the message editing screen 60 by touching the message editing key 52 on the receipt editing screen 50. Here, when the cashier keys in an alternative message (for example, “Tomorrow, the product CCCC is a bargain”), the message in the message window 63 is changed from the default message to the alternative message as shown in FIG. Is done. Next, when the enter key 61 is touch-operated, the screen of the touch panel 13 returns to the receipt editing screen 50, and as shown in FIG. 12, the message of the receipt image 51 changes from the default message “Thank you for your purchase” to the message “ The product CCCC is a bargain tomorrow. " Thereafter, when the confirmation key 56 is touch-operated, a receipt whose message is changed to “Tomorrow is a bargain for the product CCCC” is printed by the receipt printer 15 and issued from the receipt issuing port 16.

  On the message editing screen 60, when the cashier touches the delete key 62, the message in the message window 63 is deleted. Next, when the enter key 61 is touched, the screen of the touch panel 13 returns to the receipt edit screen 50, and the message of the receipt image 51 is deleted. Thereafter, when the confirmation key 56 is touched, a receipt without a message is printed by the receipt printer 15 and issued from the receipt issuing port 16.

  Therefore, if the cashier determines that the message is not appropriate as a result of checking the printed contents of the receipt before issuance, the cashier can easily issue a receipt changed to another message or a receipt from which the message has been deleted. For example, for a customer who is a customer, an operation of printing a special promotional message on a receipt instead of the default message can be easily performed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a main processing procedure of the message addition processing. In the receipt edit mode, when the message addition key 53 on the receipt edit screen 50 is touched, the CPU 21 starts this message addition process.

  First, as ST21, for example, a message addition screen 70 having a layout shown in FIG. On the message addition screen 70, key images of a confirmation key 71 and a deletion key 72 are displayed together with the receipt image 51. Also, the message window 73 is opened and guidance indicating the message addition position (in the figure, “a message is added at the position of the arrow”) is displayed.

Next, the CPU 21 waits for message data to be input or for the enter key 71 or the delete key 72 to be touch-input.
Here, when message data is input by key operation of the keyboard 12 as ST22, the CPU 21 stores this message data in the message editing memory 44 as ST25. As a result, the message input by the key is displayed in the message window 63. Thereafter, it waits for the enter key 71 or the delete key 72 to be touch-inputted.

  When the delete key 72 is touch-input in ST23, the CPU 21 determines whether message data is stored in the message editing memory 44 in ST26. If it is stored, this message data is deleted in ST27. As a result, the message in the message window 63 is also deleted. Thereafter, it waits for the enter key 61 to be input by touching or the next message to be input.

  When the confirmation key 61 is touch-input in ST24, the CPU 21 determines whether message data is stored in the message editing memory 44 in ST28. If it is stored, the contents of the message editing memory 44 are added to the receipt development memory 42 as ST29. Thereafter, if the message addition screen 70 is deleted in ST30, the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4.

  As described above, in the POS terminal according to the present embodiment, the screen of the touch panel 13 is switched to the message addition screen 70 by touching the message addition key 53 on the receipt editing screen 50. Here, when the cashier makes a key input for a new message (for example, “Tomorrow, the product CCCC is a bargain”), the new message is displayed in the message window 73 as shown in FIG. Next, when the enter key 61 is touch-operated, the screen of the touch panel 13 returns to the receipt editing screen 50, and a new message “Tomorrow” follows the default message “Thank you for your purchase” of the receipt image 51 as shown in FIG. "The product CCCC is a bargain." Thereafter, when the confirmation key 56 is touch-operated, a receipt to which these two kinds of messages are added is printed by the receipt printer 15 and issued from the receipt issuing port 16.

  Therefore, the cashier can easily issue a receipt to which a new message has been added if it is determined that the message is insufficient as a result of checking the printed contents of the receipt before issuance. For example, for a customer who is a customer, in addition to a default message, a special sales promotion message can be easily printed on a receipt.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the main processing procedure of the commercial change process. When the commercial change key 54 on the receipt edit screen 50 is touched in the receipt edit mode, the CPU 21 starts this commercial change process.

  First, as ST31, for example, a commercial change screen 80 having a layout shown in FIG. On the commercial change screen 80, the key images of the confirmation key 81 and the cancel key 82 are displayed together with the receipt image 51. In addition, a plurality of commercial images (three images “commercial image A”, “commercial image B”, and “commercial image C” in the figure) stored in the variable CM image memory are displayed.

Next, the CPU 21 waits for any commercial image to be selected in ST32 or for the cancel key 82 to be touched in ST33.
Here, when any commercial image is selected by the touch operation, the CPU 21 erases the other non-selected commercial images in ST34, and enlarges and displays the selected commercial image. Thereafter, the process waits for the confirmation key 81 to be touch-inputted in ST35 or the cancel key 82 to be touch-inputted in ST36.

  When the confirmation key 81 is touch-inputted, the CPU 21 changes the commercial image data stored in the receipt development memory 42 as ST37 to the selected commercial image data. Thereafter, if the commercial change screen 80 is deleted in ST38, the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4.

  If the cancel key 82 is touch-input in ST33 or ST36, the commercial change screen 80 is deleted without changing the commercial image data, and the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4.

  As described above, in the POS terminal according to the present embodiment, the screen of the touch panel 13 is switched to the commercial change screen 80 by touching the commercial change key 54 on the receipt edit screen 50. Here, when the commercial image desired by the cashier (for example, “commercial image A”) is touched, the selected commercial image A is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. Next, when the enter key 81 is touched, the screen of the touch panel 13 returns to the receipt editing screen 50, and the commercial image of the receipt image 51 is changed to the commercial image A selected from the default commercial image as shown in FIG. The Thereafter, when the confirmation key 56 is touched, the receipt changed to the commercial image A is printed by the receipt printer 15 and issued from the receipt issuing port 16.

  Therefore, if the cashier determines that the commercial image is not appropriate as a result of checking the receipt print contents before issuance, the cashier can easily issue a receipt that has been changed to another commercial image. For example, if the customer group is classified as 40 males, but the customer is likely to prefer products for 20 males, 20 instead of commercial images for 40-year-old males printed as defaults. Commercial images for men can be printed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the main processing procedure of the commercial addition processing. When the commercial addition key 55 on the receipt editing screen 50 is touched in the receipt editing mode, the CPU 21 starts this commercial addition process.

  First, as ST41, for example, a commercial addition screen 90 having a layout shown in FIG. On the commercial addition screen 90, the key images of the confirmation key 91 and the cancel key 92 are displayed together with the receipt image 51. In addition, a plurality of commercial images (three images “commercial image A”, “commercial image B”, and “commercial image C” in the figure) stored in the variable CM image memory are displayed.

Next, the CPU 21 waits for any commercial image to be selected in ST42 or for the cancel key 92 to be touched in ST43.
Here, when any commercial image is selected by the touch operation, the CPU 21 erases the other non-selected commercial images in ST44, and enlarges and displays the selected commercial image. Thereafter, the process waits for the confirmation key 91 to be touch-input in ST45 or the cancel key 92 to be touch-input in ST96.

  If the confirmation key 91 is touch-inputted, the CPU 21 adds the selected commercial image data after the commercial image data stored in the receipt development memory 42 as ST47. Thereafter, if the commercial addition screen 90 is deleted in ST48, the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4.

  When the cancel key 92 is touch-input in ST43 or ST46, the commercial addition screen 90 is deleted without adding commercial image data, and the CPU 21 returns to the receipt image display processing step of ST4.

  As described above, in the POS terminal according to the present embodiment, the screen of the touch panel 13 is switched to the commercial addition screen 90 by touching the commercial addition key 55 on the receipt editing screen 50. Here, when a commercial image (for example, “commercial image A”) desired by the cashier is touched, the selected commercial image A is enlarged and displayed as shown in FIG. Next, when the enter key 91 is touch-operated, the screen of the touch panel 13 returns to the receipt editing screen 50, and the selected commercial image A is added after the default commercial image of the receipt image 51 as shown in FIG. . Thereafter, when the confirmation key 56 is touched, a receipt with the commercial image A added is printed by the receipt printer 15 and issued from the receipt issuing port 16.

  Accordingly, if the cashier determines that the commercial image is insufficient as a result of checking the receipt print content before issuance, the cashier can easily issue a receipt with another commercial image added thereto. For example, if the customer group is classified as 40 males, but the customer is likely to prefer products for 20 males, in addition to the commercial image for 40-year-old males printed as default, 20 Commercial images for men can be printed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, flexible sales promotion messages and commercial images tailored to individual customers can be printed on receipts, and sales increase in stores can be expected.

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 operator display 13 is a touch panel, and the screen is touch-operated when a key such as the enter key, the delete key, or the cancel key is input or a desired commercial image is selected. Alternatively, a pointing device may be connected to the POS terminal, and various key inputs or a desired commercial image may be selected by operating a pointer on the screen.

  In the above embodiment, the editable receipt information is the additional information of the message and the commercial image. However, when manually correcting other receipt print items, for example, the detailed items of the commercial transaction, the receipt image is separately provided. By providing means for selecting 51 data items, the present invention can be applied.

  In the above-described embodiment, the default data is provided for each of the message and the commercial image. However, the default data is not provided, and the cashier may add the message or the commercial image to the receipt as necessary.

  In addition, the receipt in the present invention is not limited to a purchase receipt printed and issued from a POS terminal or an electronic cash register, but is a value printed and issued from an electronic toll balance used in face-to-face sales such as a butcher shop. An attached label may be used.
