  Next, the control contents of the cash register control unit 35 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  An attendant or customer puts the product 15 in the basket 27 and places it on the mounting table 28 of the product information reading device 16. On the standby screen of the display operation unit 32 of the POS register 14, a display prompting an operation input as to whether or not to start processing is displayed on the standby screen (step S <b> 1), and the attendant inputs an operation input for starting processing. . Upon receiving this operation input (step S2), the registration control unit 35 of the POS register 14 outputs a reading command signal to the reading control unit 30 of the product information reading device 16 (step S3). In response to this, the reading control unit 30 drives the RFID reader 29 to communicate with the RFID tags 25 of all the products 15 placed in the basket 27 on the mounting table 28, and product information from all the IC chips 24. Is calculated, the total product price that is the total price of the product calculated from the product information is calculated, and all the product information and the total product price are associated with each other and output to the cash register control unit 35.

  When the product information and the total product price output from the reading control unit 30 are received in this way (step S4), the cash register control unit 35 (product price input means) displays the product included in the product information in the display operation unit 32. A name, a product identification number, a product type, and a price are arranged for each product and displayed together with the total price of the product, and a display that prompts an operation input for the presence or absence of the voucher 10 is displayed (step S5). The clerk sees this and tells the customer the total amount of the product, and the customer pays the clerk for the total amount of the product by cash or a cash voucher.

  The clerk confirms the total amount of the received price, and if the received price includes the cash voucher 10, the cash voucher 10 is placed on the cash voucher receiving unit 40 of the cash voucher deposit processing unit 12, and the display operation unit 32. Then, the presence of a cash voucher is input (step S6). Then, the cash register control unit 35 of the POS register 14 outputs a cash voucher reading command to the cash voucher deposit control unit 44 of the cash voucher deposit processing unit 12 (step S7).

  Upon receipt of the voucher reading command, the voucher deposit control unit 44 of the voucher deposit processing unit 12 drives the RFID reader 41 to communicate with the RFID tags 21 of all the vouchers 10 on the voucher accepting unit 40, and all the IC chips 20. Thus, all the voucher information including the number of each face value is output to the cash register control unit 35 of the POS register 14. Upon receipt of the voucher information (step S8), the cash register control unit 35 displays the face value (denomination) and the voucher identification number of the voucher 10 included in the voucher information on the display operation unit 32 and prompts the user to input the number of vouchers. The display is displayed on the display operation unit 32 (step S9). Further, the cash register control unit 35 specifies the number of cash vouchers read by the RFID reader 41 (step S10).

  The number of cash vouchers is input to the display operation unit 32 by an attendant who has viewed the display on the display operation unit 32. That is, the display operation unit 32 (voucher number input means) accepts an input of the number of vouchers by an attendant (user).

  When the number of cash vouchers is input to the display / operation unit 32 (step S11), the cash register control unit 35 (cash voucher number specifying means, second judging means) reads the number of the cash vouchers specified by reading the RFID reader 41, It is determined whether or not the number of cash vouchers input to the display operation unit 32 matches (step S12). If they do not match, the cash register control unit 35 causes the display / operation unit 32 to display an error message indicating that the voucher is not appropriate (step S13), prompts the user to confirm the count of the voucher, and returns to step S5.

  When the number of vouchers specified by reading the RFID reader 41 matches the number of vouchers input to the display operation unit 32, the cash register control unit 35 (voucher amount calculation means) outputs from the reading control unit 30. From the face value of the voucher 10 included in the issued voucher information, the total amount of the voucher obtained by adding the face values of all the vouchers 10 placed on the voucher receiving unit 40 is calculated (step S14). And the display operation part 32 is displayed on the display operation part 32 which displays the calculated cash voucher total amount and the operation input of the presence or absence of cash (step S15).

  When there is payment by cash, the clerk performs an operation input with cash on the display operation unit 32. When the operation input with cash is received on the display operation unit 32 (step S16), the cash register control unit 35 The display operation unit 32 is caused to display a display prompting an operation input of the total amount of cash that is the total amount of cash (step S17). When the cashier performs an operation input of the total cash amount on the display operation unit 32 (step S18), the cash register control unit 35 adds the total amount of the cash voucher and the input total cash amount to the total deposit amount. The total amount (payment amount) is calculated (step S19). At this time, a total deposit amount (payment amount) that is a combination of the total amount of cash vouchers and the total amount of cash confirmed by the attendant may be input to the display operation unit 32.

  When there is no payment by cash, that is, when the price is paid only by a cash voucher, the attendant inputs an operation without cash to the display operation unit 32 in step S16. The total amount of money vouchers is directly used as the total amount of money received (payment amount) (step S20).

  In addition, if there is no payment by a cash voucher, the attendant will perform an operation input without a cash voucher to the display operation unit 32 in step S6, and the cash register control unit 35 receives the cash total in the display operation unit 32 in response to this. A display for prompting the operation input of the amount is displayed (step S21). When the cashier inputs the total cash amount to the display / operation unit 32 (step S22), the cash register control unit 35 uses the input total cash amount as it is as the total deposit amount (payment amount) (step S23). .

  The cash register control unit 35 receives the product information in the above step S4 after any one of step S19 in which the price is paid with cash and a voucher, step S20 in which the price is paid only with the cash voucher and step S23 in which the price is paid only with the cash. It is determined whether the total deposit amount is larger than the total product amount input from the reading control unit 30 of the reading device 16 (step S24). In addition, when payment is performed only with the cash voucher, the total deposit amount is the total cash voucher amount. As a result, the cash register control unit 35 (first determination unit) determines whether the total cash voucher amount is larger than the total merchandise amount. It will be judged.

  When the total deposit amount is equal to or less than the total product amount, the cash register control unit 35 determines whether the total deposit amount is equal to the total product amount (step S25). If the total deposit amount is equal to the total product amount, the display is performed. A display prompting the approval operation is displayed on the operation unit 32 (step S26).

  When the clerk inputs an operation input for approval to the display operation unit 32 of the POS register 14 in accordance with the display on the display operation unit 32 (step S27), the cash register control unit 35 inputs that there is a cash voucher in step S6. In the case (step S28), an approval command signal is output to the voucher deposit control unit 44 (step S29). Then, the voucher deposit control unit 44 that has received the approval command signal from the cash register control unit 35 stores the voucher 10 on the voucher receiving unit 40 in the voucher storage unit 43 by the sending unit 42, and the storage is completed after the storage is completed. The signal is output to the registration control unit 35.

  In step S28, when the presence of a voucher is not input and when a storage completion signal is input after step S29 (step S30), the registration control unit 35 outputs from the reading control unit 30 in relation to the current process. The current merchandise information and merchandise total amount, the voucher information including the face value and the voucher identification number output from the cash voucher deposit control unit 44 and the total voucher amount, and the calculated total deposit amount are used as sales management data. Is stored in the storage unit 34 in association with the process identification number assigned to the process and the process execution time, and a receipt is issued (step S31), thereby terminating the current process.

  Note that when the clerk inputs a cancel operation input to the display operation unit 32 in step S27 instead of the above-described approval operation input (step S32), the cash register control unit 35 stores information related to the current process. The current process is terminated without storing in the unit 34.

  In step S25, when the total deposit amount is smaller than the total product amount, an error display including a display for prompting the addition of the price is displayed on the display operation unit 32 (step S33), and then the process returns to step S5. .

  In step S24, when the total deposit amount is larger than the total merchandise amount, the cash register control unit 35 calculates a change amount obtained by subtracting the total merchandise amount from the total deposit amount (step S34). In addition, when the payment is made only with the cash voucher, the total deposit amount is the total cash voucher amount. As a result, the cash register control unit 35 (change amount calculation means) The change amount is calculated by subtracting the total amount of merchandise from the total amount of cash vouchers. In addition, from all the voucher information read by the RFID reader 41 and output from the reading control unit 30, the cash register control unit 35 (minimum face value specifying means) specifies the minimum face value of the voucher received by the voucher receiving part 40 ( Step S35).

  The cash register control unit 35 (third determination means) determines whether or not the calculated change amount is smaller than the minimum face value of the cash voucher (step S36). An error message indicating that the voucher is not appropriate is displayed on the part 32 (step S37), and then the process returns to step S5.

  If the change amount is smaller than the minimum face value of the voucher in step S36, the cash register control unit 35 causes the display operation unit 32 to display the total deposit amount, the total product amount and the change amount, and a display prompting the approval operation (step). S38).

  When the clerk confirms the total deposit amount, the total product amount, and the change amount in the display operation unit 32 and inputs an operation input for approval to the display operation unit 32 in the POS register 14 (step S39), the cash register control unit 35 Then, from the change amount calculated in step S34, the number of coin denominations and the number of banknote denominations that are the sum of the change amount and the smallest number are calculated (step S40).

  Then, when the presence of a cash voucher is input in step S6 (step S41), the cash register control unit 35 outputs an approval command signal to the cash voucher deposit control unit 44 (step S42). Then, the voucher deposit control unit 44 (storage control means) that receives the approval command signal from the cash register control unit 35 stores the voucher 10 on the voucher receiving unit 40 in the voucher storage unit 43 by the sending unit 42 and stores it. After completion, a storage completion signal is output to the registration control unit 35.

  In step S41, when the presence of a cash voucher is not input and when a storage completion signal is input after step S42 (step S43), the cash register control unit 35 configures a change amount for the coin dispensing control unit 54. A coin withdrawal command signal including the number of coin types is output, and a banknote withdrawal command signal including the number of banknotes constituting the change amount is output to the banknote dispensing control unit 60 (step S44). ).

  Upon receiving the coin withdrawal command signal from the cash register control unit 35, the coin withdrawal control unit 54 (withdrawal control means) causes at least the number of coins of the entered money type to be withdrawn from the coin withdrawal storage unit 50. The coins that are determined not to be dispensed by the coin withdrawal identification unit 51 are stored in the withdrawal coin reject (RJ) unit 52, while the coins that are determined to be withdrawalable by the coin withdrawal identification unit 51 are dispensed. Withdraw money to the gold part 53. In this way, a coin with a combination in which the total amount is the amount of coins in the change amount and the number of change is minimized is withdrawn to the coin dispensing unit 53 as change coins. Then, a coin dispensing completion signal is output to the cash register control unit 35.

  In addition, the banknote dispensing control unit 60 that has received the banknote dispensing command signal from the cash register control unit 35 also causes at least the input number of banknotes to be withdrawn from the banknote dispensing storage unit 56. The banknotes determined to be unacceptable by the money identification unit 65 are stored in the withdrawal banknote reject (RJ) unit 58, while the banknotes determined to be available for withdrawal by the banknote withdrawal / recognition unit 65 are stored in the banknote withdrawal unit 59. Withdraw money. In this way, the banknote of the combination in which the total amount is the amount of the banknote out of the change amount and the number of change is minimized is withdrawn to the banknote withdrawal unit 59 as the change banknote, and after the withdrawal is completed The banknote dispensing completion signal is output to the cash register control unit 35.

  As described above, when the change of the change amount is completed and the coin withdrawal completion signal and the banknote withdrawal completion signal are input (step S45), the cash register control unit 35 (product amount input means) In relation to this processing, the merchandise information and merchandise information output from the reading control unit 30 and the voucher information and voucher total including the face value (denomination) and the voucher identification number output from the cash voucher deposit control unit 44 The amount and the calculated total deposit amount and change amount are stored in the storage unit 34 as sales management data in association with the process identification number assigned to the current process and the execution time of the process, and a receipt is issued. (Step S46), and the current process is terminated.

  When a receipt is issued, the attendant, along with this receipt, receives this change coin when there is a change coin in the coin dispensing unit 53, and this change bank note when there is a change bill in the banknote dispensing unit 59. Will be passed to.

  The sales management data as described above is periodically transmitted from the plurality of sales management apparatuses 11 to the shared management server 37 for management.

  When the clerk inputs a cancel operation input to the display operation unit 32 instead of the above-described approval operation input in step S39 (step S47), the cash register control unit 35 stores information related to the current process. The current process is terminated without storing in the unit 34.

  According to the present embodiment described above, when the price is paid only by the cash voucher 10, when the cash voucher 10 is received by the cash voucher receiving unit 40, the RFID reader 41 is moved from the IC chip 20 embedded in the received cash voucher 10 to the cash voucher. The information is read, and the cash register control unit 35 calculates the total amount of the voucher from the read voucher information. Then, when the cash register control unit 35 compares the total amount of the voucher with the total amount of merchandise output from the product information reading device 16 and determines that the total amount of the voucher is larger than the total amount of merchandise, The change amount is calculated by subtracting the total amount of goods from. Therefore, it is not necessary for the clerk to calculate the total amount of the voucher and the change, and the labor of the clerk can be saved.

  Further, when the number of the vouchers 10 is specified from the voucher information read by the RFID reader 41, the cash register control unit 35 matches the number of vouchers based on the voucher information with the number of vouchers input by the staff in the display operation unit 32. Judge whether to do. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not the number of cash vouchers is appropriate.

  Further, from the cash voucher information read by the RFID reader 41, the cash register control unit 35 specifies the minimum face value of the cash voucher received by the cash voucher receiving part 40, and whether or not the calculated change amount is smaller than the specified minimum face value. Therefore, if the change amount is smaller than the minimum face value, the change payment is appropriate, and if the change amount is not less than the minimum face value, it can be determined that the change payment is not appropriate.

  Further, when the cash register control unit 35 determines that the change amount is smaller than the minimum face value, the cash voucher deposit control unit 44 stores the cash voucher received in the voucher receiving unit 40. Therefore, the cash voucher can be stored only when it is determined that the change payment is appropriate.

  In addition, when it is determined by the cash register control unit 35 that the change amount is smaller than the minimum face value, the coin dispensing control unit 54 and the banknote dispensing control unit 60 will dispense the change amount. Therefore, the change can be withdrawn only when it is determined that the change is payable.

  Note that an RFID reader / writer may be provided in place of the RFID reader 41 so that the fact that it has been used is written to each IC chip 20 when the cash voucher 10 placed on the cash voucher receiving unit 40 is stored. .

  It is also possible to use a cash voucher not equipped with an IC chip, electronic money, etc. as a price. When depositing a cash voucher not loaded with an IC chip, this is handled in the same manner as the above cash, and the POS register It is only necessary to manually input the deposit amount to the 14 display operation units 32.
