The operation of the system configured as described above will be described as follows.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the producer specifying process. The system shown in FIG. 1 is used. 40 shown in the figure indicates the meaning of symbols in the flowcharts described below.
First, when the producer calls a predetermined telephone number from the mobile phone 4 or the fixed telephone 5, the sales information providing server 30 is connected from the public line 3 through the telephone exchange means 35. The sales information providing server 30 transmits a voice message “Thank you, ABC Farmers” from the voice synthesizer 34 to the producer (S1). Next, the sales information providing server 30 checks whether the incoming call is a number notification from the producer (S2). If the number is not notified from the producer, the process skips to step S8 and performs the producer specifying process.

  If the incoming call is a number notification, the sales information providing server 30 checks whether the acquired telephone number is in the database 7 (S3). The sales information providing server 30 looks at the producer information (producer table) and checks whether the acquired telephone number is in the database. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the producer table. As shown in the figure, it is composed of a producer code, a telephone number, and a producer name. For example, in the case of Taro Miguchi, the producer code is 101 and the telephone number is 0465-11-1234.

  If the acquired telephone number is in the producer table, the sales information providing means 33 sends a voice message “Mr. Miguchi” from the voice synthesis means 34 (S4). Next, a voice message “Please press“ 1 ”if it ’s OK, press“ 2 ”if it ’s different” ”is sent (S5). The producer inputs the number “1” or “2” from the mobile phone 4 or the fixed telephone 5 (hereinafter abbreviated as a telephone together) from the telephone key (S6). When the input content is “1”, the sales information providing server 30 moves to the next process because the incoming call is Mr. Mikuchi. If the input content is “2”, it is not Miguchi-san, so the producer identification process (manual designation) process is entered (S8).

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a product table. The product code and product name are stored in the database 7.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the producer specifying process (manual) operation shown in FIG. The sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “Please input the producer code” to the producer (S1). The producer inputs the producer code using the telephone key (S2). The sales information providing server 30 looks at the producer information (producer table) and checks whether the producer code is in the database (DB) (S3).

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the producer table. As shown in the figure, it is composed of a producer code, a telephone number, a producer name, and a print ID. The sales information providing server 30 checks whether the producer code is registered in the database 7 (S4). If it is not registered, it is checked whether or not the count number when it is not registered is within 3 times (S5), and if it is within 3 times, the process returns to step S1 to input the producer code. Do. If the producer code is wrong and the producer code is not registered in the producer table even if it is entered three times, the sales information providing means 33 reads from the speech synthesizer means "the entered producer". The code is not registered. Please check the number and try again. "

  If the producer code is registered in the database 7, it is checked whether or not the acquired telephone number is in the database 7 (S8). In the producer table, as shown in FIG. 6, since the telephone number is stored together with the producer code, the sales information providing means 33 sends a voice message “Mr. Miguchi-san” to the corresponding producer. (S9).

  Next, a voice message “Please press“ 1 ”if you want, press“ 2 ”if not” ”is sent (S10). Here, the producer inputs a telephone key from the telephone (S11). If the key input is “1”, it is Ms. Miguchi and the process proceeds to the next process. If the key input is “2”, it is not Mr. Miguchi, so the process returns to step S1 and starts again from the input of the producer code.

  In the present invention, either one of a standard type and a simple type can be selected for the label printing process. The designation of the selection is that the producer code is stored in the database 7, and it is determined whether the standard type or the simple type is used for each stored producer code (see FIG. 16). The sales information providing server 30 selects which one to select on the producer's telephone, and when the producer selects one, the processing is performed according to the selected flowchart.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the label printing reservation process (standard). First, a voice message is sent from the sales information providing server 30 to the producer, "Please enter the product code" (S1). In response to this, the producer inputs the product code from the telephone (S2). The sales information providing server 30 refers to the product information (product table) in the database 7 and checks whether there is a product code (S3). The product table has a configuration as shown in FIG. 4 and can recognize whether there is a corresponding product code by referring to the product code.

  Next, it is checked whether there is a product code (S4). If there is no product code, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “The input product code has not been registered” to the producer (S5), and returns to step S1. Redo the code input process. If there is a product code, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “XX” to the producer (S6).

  Next, a message “Please press“ 1 ”if you like, press“ 2 ”if not” ”is sent to the producer (S7). On the other hand, the producer inputs “1” or “2” from the telephone key (S8). The sales information providing server 30 checks whether the input content is “1” or “2” (S9). If the input content is “2”, the product code is different, so the process returns to step S1 and starts again from the input of the product code.

  If the input content is “1”, it means that there is a product code. Therefore, in order to determine the number of labels, the sales information providing server 30 asks the producer “Enter the number of cards to be issued. Is sent to the producer (S10). Next, in response to this inquiry, the producer inputs the number of issued cards using a telephone key (S11). Here, the sales information providing server 30 sends a message “XX sheets” to the producer (S12). Details of steps S11 and S12 will be described later.

  Next, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message to the producers such as “Please press“ 1 ”if you like, or“ 2 ”if not,” ”(S13). In response to this inquiry, the producer inputs “1” or “2” from the telephone key (S14). The sales information providing server 30 confirms the input content (S15). Here, if “2”, the number of issued sheets is different, so the process returns to step S10 and starts again from the input of the number of issued sheets.

  If it is “1”, it means that the number of issued sheets is correct, so a message “Do you have a print reservation for other products?” Is sent to the producer by voice message (S16). Next, a message "If there is" 1 ", if not, please press" 2 "" is sent (S17). Here, the producer inputs “1” or “2” using a telephone key (S18). The input content is confirmed for this input (S19). If there is a reservation for another product, the process returns to step S1 to input a product code. When there is no reservation for other products, a voice message “Thank you for using the label. Thank you for using it” is sent to the producer (S20).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the label printing reservation process (simple). First, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “Please enter the product code” to the producer (S1). In response to this inquiry, the producer inputs a product code using a telephone key (S2). The sales information providing server 30 goes to the producer to see the product table in the database 7 (see FIG. 4) and checks whether there is a corresponding product (S3). Then, it is checked whether there is a code (S4).

  If there is no product code, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “the input product code is not registered” to the producer (S5), and returns to step S1 to return the product code. Try again. If there is a product code, a voice message for inquiring “XX” is sent to the producer (S6). If it is not XX, the process returns to step S1 and starts again from the product code input.

  If the product code is XX, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “Please enter the number of issued cards” to the producer (S7). Here, the producer inputs the number of labels issued for the product code XX from the telephone key (S8). The sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message for inquiring “XX pieces” to the producer (S9). If the number is not XX, the producer returns to step S7 and re-enters the issued number.

  If the number is XX, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message “Do you have a print reservation for other products” to the producer (S10). Then, a message "If there is" 1 ", if not, please press" 2 "" is sent (S11). In response to this inquiry, the producer inputs “1” or “2” from the telephone key (S12). The sales information providing server 30 checks the input content (S13). If there is a print reservation for another product, the process returns to step S1 and starts with a product code input process. If there are no print reservations for other products, a voice message “Thank you for using the label has been received.” Is sent to the producer (S14).

  According to the present invention, when label printing is performed using a telephone, one of a standard method and a simple method can be selected to perform label printing as necessary. be able to. Even when printing is performed by the simple procedure, it is possible to return to the standard printing procedure by pressing a specific key.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the printing process. In the printing process, the label printer 2 can perform label printing by starting the personal computer 1 from the sales information providing server 30. The sales information providing server 30 checks whether there is a print job (S1). If there is a print job, the job occurrence time is checked (S2). The job occurrence time check is performed with reference to time designation information in the database 7. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the time designation table. As shown in the figure, it is composed of a day of the week, time 1, time 2, and time 3. Time 1 is the opening time, time 2 is the closing time, and time 3 is the batch processing time. For example, taking the case of Tuesday (TUE) as an example, the opening time is 10:00, the closing time is 19:00, and the batch processing time is 3:00.

  The sales information providing server 30 checks whether it is within business hours with reference to the time designation information (S3). If it is not within business hours, it is checked whether it is a batch processing time (S4), and if it is a batch processing time, printing is executed (S5). If it is not the printing time, the process is terminated. If it is within business hours in step S3, printing is executed (S6). Here, as a printing form to be printed, for example, barcode printing can be considered. As described above, according to the present invention, whether label printing is performed in real time or batch processing can be automatically determined according to the time for performing label printing.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the printing process. In the flowchart of FIG. 9, the process is the same up to step S4. The sales information providing server 30 checks whether there is a print job (S1). If there is a print job, the job occurrence time is checked (S2). The job occurrence time check is performed with reference to time designation information in the database 7. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the time designation table. As shown in the figure, it is composed of a day of the week, time 1, time 2, and time 3. Time 1 is the opening time, time 2 is the closing time, and time 3 is the batch processing time. For example, taking the case of Tuesday (TUE) as an example, the opening time is 10:00, the closing time is 19:00, and the batch processing time is 3:00.

  The sales information providing server 30 checks whether it is within business hours with reference to the time designation information (S3). If it is not within business hours, it is checked whether it is a batch processing time (S4), and if it is not a batch processing time, the process is terminated. If it is the batch processing time, the printing ID of the producer is checked to determine the printing machine (S5), and printing is executed (S6). In determining this printing machine, the printer table is referred to.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of a printer table. The printer table includes a label printer identification number and a group ID. For example, the label printer 1 is in charge of group IDs 01, 02,. Then, printing is executed using the printer in charge of the group (S6).

  If it is within business hours in step S3, the printing ID of the producer is checked to determine the printing number (S7), and printing is executed (S8). Also at this time, referring to the printer table, the printer in charge of the group is determined and printing is executed. Thus, according to the present invention, label printing can be efficiently performed by determining the label printer to be used for each group.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a detailed example of voice guidance for confirmation from telephone key input, and explains the detailed operation of steps S11 and S12 of FIG. The producer inputs the number of labels to be issued from the telephone key (S1). The numerical value of the number inputted from the telephone key is inputted by the telephone exchange means 35 of the sales information providing server 30 from the producer (S2). The sales information providing server 30 checks whether a telephone key has been input (S3).

  If there is no input, it is checked whether the input waiting time has exceeded 10 seconds (S4). If not, the process returns to step S3 to check whether there is a key input. When the input waiting time exceeds 10 seconds, a sentence “Please input again” is created and given to the speech synthesizer 34 (S5). The voice synthesizer 34 converts the input text information into voice information (S6). Then, a voice message “Please input again” is sent to the producer (S7). And it returns to step S1 via the telephone exchange means 35 (S8).

  If there is an input in step S3, it is checked whether the input is a two-digit number (S9). If the input is not two digits, skip to step S5 and play a voice message "Please input again." If the input is two digits, the sales status providing server 30 edits the text and passes it to the speech synthesizer 34. For example, voice data is embedded in the ** part of “Are you sure?” (S10).

  The voice synthesizer 34 synthesizes a voice message (S11). As a result of the synthesis, a voice message “Are you sure?” Is sent to the producer (S12). This voice message is notified to the producer via the telephone exchange means 35 (S13). Then, the telephone exchange means 35 passes the text “1 if it is good, please press“ 2 ”if it is correct” to the speech synthesis means 34 (S14).

  The voice synthesizing means 34 synthesizes a voice message “Please press“ 1 ”if you like, or“ 2 ”if it is different.” ”(S15). Then, the voice message is synthesized (S16), and the synthesized voice message is sent to the producer via the telephone exchange means 35 (S17). Thereafter, the next processing is started.

  According to this embodiment, since information to be printed is designated by a telephone key when performing label printing, it is not necessary to go to a place where the label printer is located and operate it.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing label printing reservation processing for shipping schedule information. The sales information providing server 30 checks the shipping schedule of the corresponding producer with reference to the shipping schedule information in the database 7 (S1). FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the shipping schedule table. As is apparent from the figure, it is composed of a producer code and a shipping scheduled product ID. For example, for the producer of the producer code 101, the shipping scheduled product IDs are 1000, 1002, 1003. Then, the presence or absence of a shipping schedule is checked (S2). If there is no shipping schedule, the process proceeds to the label printing reservation process of FIG.

  If there is a shipping schedule, the products scheduled to be shipped are guided in order (S3). Next, a voice message “Is it XX?” Is sent to the producer (S4). Next, the sales information providing server 30 sends a voice message to the producers such as “Please press“ 1 ”if you want, or“ 2 ”if not,” ”(S5). The producer inputs a key “1” if the product is to be shipped, and “2” otherwise (S6).

  The sales information providing server 30 determines which number is pressed (S7). If “2” is pressed, the situation is different, and the process returns to step S3. If the input content is “1”, since it is OK, a voice message “Please enter the number of sheets to be issued” is sent to the producer (S8). Here, the producer inputs the issued number from the telephone key (S9). The sales information providing server 30 sends a confirmation voice message to the producers saying “It is XX sheets” (S10).

  Next, a voice message “Please press“ 1 ”if you want, press“ 2 ”if not” ”is sent to the producer (S11). The producer inputs either “1” or “2” using the telephone key (S12). Then, the sales information providing server 30 confirms the input content (S13). If “2”, it is a different case, so the process returns to step S8 and the number of issued sheets is input again.

  If “1”, since it is OK, a voice message “Do you have a print reservation for other products” is sent to the producer (S14). Next, a voice message “Please press“ 1 ”if there is, press“ 2 ”if there is” ”is sent to the producer (S15). Next, the producer receives this voice message and inputs “1” or “2” from the telephone key (S16). The sales information providing server 30 confirms the input content (S17). If the input content is “1”, it means that there is a print reservation for another product, so the process returns to step S3 to sequentially guide the products to be shipped. When the input content is “2”, since there is no print reservation, the sales information providing server 30 gives a voice message “Thank you for using.” The process is terminated (S18).

  When the label printing reservation for the shipping schedule information is completed in this way, the sales information providing server 30 drives the personal computer 1 and receives label information (product code, product name, product type) sent from the sales information providing server 30. Etc.) is printed with a barcode by the label printer 2. The producer goes to a place where the label printer is located (usually a consignment sales office) before starting sales the next day, and works to attach the already printed label to the product. The product with the label attached is placed on the display shelf, and preparation for sale is completed.

  Ready for sale and ready for sale. The consumer takes out the products displayed on the shelves and performs a purchase procedure. When purchasing, the product is brought to the POS system 10. The consignment dealer reads the barcode with the barcode reader 11 and collects the purchase price from the customer based on the number and price of the product. In the POS system, the purchase price is settled by the settlement processor 12 and stored in the sales information storage means 13. Here, the sales information is stored for each producer. When the settlement process is completed, sales information, a settlement amount, and the like are sent to the aggregation server 20 via the network 6.

  The aggregation server 20 receives the information (sales information, aggregation information) sent from the POS system 10 by the sales information receiving means 21, performs the aggregation processing by the aggregation processing means 22, and then sells the information from the aggregation information transmitting means 24. The information is sent to the information providing server 30. The sales information providing server 30 receives the sent product information by the total information receiving unit 31 and then stores it in the total information storage unit 32. The database 7 may be stored instead of the total information storage unit 32.

  The producer receives an amount obtained by subtracting the sales commission from the consignment dealer. Thus, the present invention is suitable for use in the sales of products by small farmers who do not have personal computers, printers and the like.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the producer code. As is apparent from the figure, it consists of a producer code and a processing procedure. Regarding the processing procedure, “0” is a standard procedure and “1” is a simple procedure. Using the procedure determined for each producer code, it is determined whether to use the standard procedure shown in FIG. 7 or the simple procedure shown in FIG.

  As described above in detail, according to the present invention, sales information including consignment sales products from the aggregation server is received, edited into sales information for each producer, and sales information is added to the inquiry from the producer. A sales information provision server is provided to make print reservations for labels that are pasted on consigned products using telephones, so label printing can be done efficiently with simple operations using telephones, not just PCs. Can do.
