First, the operation from when the sales data processing apparatus 1 transmits sales data to the server apparatus 2 and when the server apparatus 2 performs aggregation will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a sales data transfer process executed in the sales data processing apparatus 1. The sales data transfer process is executed in response to an instruction from the input unit 11 at the end of the day's business, and is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and the sales data transfer processing program 14d stored in the storage unit 14. Is done.

  First, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, a cash register settlement process is executed (step S51). Since the cash register settlement process is the same as that in step S31, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the communication unit 15 transmits a sales data transfer start notification to the server device 2 (step S52), and the daily sales data, that is, the data of the PLU file 14g read to the PLU area 13a is stored in the server device. 2 (step S53). When the sales data transfer start notification and the sales data are transmitted, a store code for identifying the store is also transmitted.

  When the transfer of the sales data is completed, a sales data transfer end notification is transmitted to the server device 2 by the communication unit 15 (step S54), and the sales data transfer process is ended.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing sales data registration processing executed in the server device 2. The sales data registration processing is executed in cooperation with the CPU 20 and the sales data registration processing program 24c stored in the storage unit 24.

  First, the communication unit 25 waits for data reception (step S61). Next, it is determined whether or not the sales data transfer start notification has been received by the communication unit 25. If it is determined that the sales data transfer start notification has not been received (step S62; NO), the process returns to step S61. If it is determined that the sales data transfer start notification has been received (step S62; YES), the sales data transmitted from the sales data processing apparatus 1 is received by the communication unit 25 (step S63), and the received sales data is the sales. It is written in the daily summary file 24f (step S64).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the sales data transfer end notification is received from the sales data processing device 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S65), and if it is determined that the sales data transfer end notification is not received (step S65; NO), the process returns to step S63. If it is determined that the sales data transfer end notification has been received (step S65; YES), sales data aggregation processing is executed (step S66).

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing sales data aggregation processing executed in the server device 2. The sales data totaling process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 20 and the sales data totaling process program 24b stored in the storage unit 24.

First, based on the sales data written in the sales daily totaling file 24f in step S64, the daily sales total and the daily sales CO ₂ total are totaled and written in the sales daily totaling file 24f (step S601). . Specifically, the daily sales total is calculated by calculating the total of “sales amount” in the daily sales summary file 24f, and the daily sales CO by calculating the total of “sales CO ₂ amount”. _Two sums are calculated. Then, it is written in the daily sales summary file 24f.

  Next, the records in the daily sales summary file 24f are sorted in descending order of sales quantity by “product category” (step S602), and “popular rank” is ranked in descending order by product category (step S603). That is, the popularity rank is ranked as 1, 2,...

  Then, the daily sales summary file 24f is updated and stored in the storage unit 24 (step S604).

In addition, the sales number, sales amount, and sales CO ₂ amount of the received sales data are added to the sales number, sales amount, and sales CO ₂ amount data in the monthly sales file 24g of the current month in the storage unit 24 ( In step S605), the monthly sales total and the monthly sales CO ₂ amount are totaled and written to the sales monthly totaling file 24g (step S606). Specifically, the monthly sales total is calculated by calculating the total of “sales amount” in the sales monthly total file 24g, and the monthly sales CO by calculating the total of “sales CO ₂ amount”. _{A two-} quantity sum is calculated. If the monthly sales summary file 24g for the current month does not exist in the storage unit 24, such as at the beginning of the month, a new monthly sales summary file 24g is created, and the processes of steps S605 and S606 are executed.

  Next, the records in the monthly sales total file 24g are sorted in descending order of sales quantity by “product category” (step S607), and “popular rank” is ranked in descending order by product category (step S608). That is, the popularity rank is ranked as 1, 2,...

  Then, the sales monthly tabulation file 24g is updated and stored in the storage unit 24 (step S609), and the sales data tabulation process ends.

Next, an operation of acquiring the totaling result totaled by the server apparatus 2 by the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described.
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a monthly tabulation result registration process executed in the sales data processing apparatus 1. The monthly count result registration process is a process that is executed in response to an instruction from the input unit 11 or after a predetermined time has elapsed since the sales data transfer process is completed, and is stored in the CPU 10 and the storage unit 14. It is executed in cooperation with the monthly count result registration processing program 14e.

  First, the communication unit 15 transmits a monthly aggregation result reception start notification to the server device 2 (step S71). When the monthly count result reception start notification is transmitted, a store code for identifying the store is also transmitted.

  When the communication unit 15 receives the data (record) of the monthly sales summary file 24g from the server device 2 (step S72), the “popularity” of the record whose “product code” matches the received data in the PLU file 14g. In “Rank”, the “popular rank” of the received data is registered (step S73).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a data transfer end notification has been received from the server device 2 by the communication unit 15 (step S74). If it is determined that it has not been received (step S74; NO), the process returns to step S72. . If it is determined by the communication unit 15 that a data transfer end notification has been received from the server device 2 (step S74; YES), the received data is registered in the storage unit 14 as a sales monthly total file 14i (already sales for the current month). When the monthly tabulation file 14i is stored, the sales month tabulation file 14i for the current month is updated with the received data), and the monthly tabulation result registration process ends.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a monthly tabulation result transmission process executed in the server device 2. The monthly tabulation result transmission process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 20 and the monthly tabulation result transmission processing program 24d stored in the storage unit 24.

  First, the communication unit 25 waits for data reception (step S81). Next, it is determined whether or not the monthly sales summary result reception start notification has been received by the communication unit 25 (step S82). If it is determined that the monthly sales summary result reception start notification has not been received (step S82; YES), the process returns to step S81. If it is determined that the monthly sales total result reception start notification has been received (step S82; YES), the sales monthly total file 24g for the current month of the transmission source store stored in the storage unit 24 is read and communicated. The data is transmitted to the sales data processing apparatus 1 as the transmission source by the unit 25 (step S83). When the transmission is completed, a data transfer completion notification is transmitted to the sales data processing apparatus 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S84), and the monthly count result transmission process ends.

  The daily aggregation result is also registered in the sales data processing apparatus 1 by the same processing as the above-mentioned monthly aggregation result. In other words, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, a daily aggregation result registration process is executed, and a daily aggregation result reception start notification is transmitted to the server apparatus 2 by the communication unit 15. In the server device 2, when the daily aggregation result transmission process is executed and the daily aggregation result reception start notification is received from the sales data processing device 1, the sales daily aggregation file 24 f is sent to the sales data processing device 1. Sent. In the sales data processing device 1, when the data of the daily sales total file 24f is received from the server device 2, the received data is registered in the storage unit 14 as the daily sales total file 14h.

  In the present embodiment, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, the “popular rank” of the sales monthly total file received from the server apparatus 2 is registered in the “popular rank” of the PLU file 14g. The “popular rank” of the next aggregation file may be registered in the “popular rank” of the PLU file 14g.

Thus, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, daily in the shop, CO ₂ emissions monthly CO ₂ emissions and each product, and it is possible to obtain a different popular rank goods classification, in the shop It will be possible to manage efforts to reduce CO ₂ emissions.

Next, it is determined whether or not the product counter value = the eco counter value (step S324). If it is determined that the product counter value is equal to the eco counter value (step S324; YES), the current point value is multiplied by the CO ₂ point rate stored in the CO ₂ point rate area 13j. (Step S325). Then, the CO ₂ point column is printed on the receipt paper by the printing unit 16, the contents of the current point area are printed on the receipt paper as the CO ₂ point (step S326), and the process proceeds to step S327. If it is determined that the product counter value is not equal to the eco counter value (step S324; NO), the process proceeds to step S327.

  In step S327, it is determined whether or not the point card C is detected by the card reader / writer 19. If it is determined that the point card C is detected by the card reader / writer 19 (step S327; YES), the accumulated points are read from the point card C (step S328). Next, the value of the current point area 13h is added to the accumulated points (step S329). The accumulated points are written on the point card C by the card reader / writer 19 (step S330), the accumulated points are printed on the receipt paper by the printing unit 16 (step S331), and the process proceeds to step S332. On the other hand, if the card reader / writer 19 determines that the point card C has not been detected (step S327; NO), the process proceeds to step S332.

  The processing after step S332 is the same as the processing after step S229 shown in FIG.

FIG. 26 is a diagram showing an example of the receipt R4 printed in the above-described receipt printing process D. As shown in FIG. 26, the receipt R4, each product CO ₂ ranks purchased by the customer, popularity rank, CO ₂ emissions (CO ₂ emissions separately and purchase number fraction of CO ₂ emissions) is printed (D3 in FIG. 26). In addition, the total CO ₂ emission amount (D2 in FIG. 26) of all the products purchased by the customer this time is printed. Furthermore, when the CO ₂ rank of all the products purchased by the customer this time is No. 1, CO ₂ points corresponding to the total purchase amount this time are printed (D6 in FIG. 26). In this way, if all the products that the customer has purchased this time are the one with the highest CO ₂ rank, CO ₂ points will be returned according to the total amount of purchases this time, so that the customer will have less CO ₂ emissions. Can be promoted, and reduction of CO ₂ emissions can be promoted. In addition, the store can acquire repeat customers.
In addition, the products purchased by the customer this time, if there is a thing not of the CO ₂ No. 1, CO ₂ No. 1 of the product is printed on the receipt as recommended products.

  In the fourth embodiment as well, as in the first embodiment, the sales data totaling process is executed in the sales data processing apparatus 1 at the end of the day's work. Alternatively, sales data is transmitted to the server apparatus 2 by the sales data transfer process, and the sales data totaling file and the sales monthly totaling file totaled by executing the sales data registration process in the server apparatus 2 are the sales data processing apparatus. 1 is registered.

As described above, according to the sales data processing apparatus 1, the PLU file 14g of the storage unit 14, for each product, indicating less rank of CO ₂ emissions in product group CO ₂ emissions and the same product classification The CO ₂ rank is stored, and the CPU 10 extracts the information of the product that is the same product classification as the product registered for sales and has a higher CO ₂ rank than the product registered for sales from the PLU file 14g. Output product information as recommended eco-products.

Therefore, it is recommended to provide the customer with information on products having the same product classification as the product purchased by the customer and having a higher CO ₂ rank, that is, a product with lower CO ₂ emissions. Makes it possible to easily grasp a product with a small amount of CO ₂ emission, and can promote a customer to select a product that is more suitable for the global environment.

  Since the recommended eco-product information can be output from the printing unit 16, the display unit 12 or the voice output unit 101, the customer can easily grasp the recommended eco-product by printed matter, display on the display unit 12, or voice. It becomes.

In addition, since the CO ₂ emission amount and CO ₂ rank of each product registered for sale, that is, the product purchased by the customer are printed on the receipt paper, the customer is what the CO ₂ emission amount of each product purchased by the customer is. And whether the product is good for the earth in the same product category can be easily recognized.

In addition, since the total CO ₂ emissions of all products registered for sales are calculated and printed on receipt paper, customers can easily determine how much the total CO ₂ emissions of all products they have purchased this time are. It becomes possible to recognize.

  In addition, since the popularity rank of each product registered for sale and the recommended eco-product is printed on the receipt paper, it is possible to improve the customer's awareness of purchasing a better product.

In addition, when the CO ₂ rank of all products registered for sales meets a predetermined standard, a coupon corresponding to the total price of products registered for sales, that is, the total purchase price of the customer, is printed on a receipt sheet. It is possible to promote the purchase of products with less CO ₂ emissions from customers. In addition, it is possible for a store to acquire repeat customers.

Alternatively, if the CO ₂ rank of all the products registered for sales satisfies a predetermined standard, a coupon corresponding to the total price of the products registered for sales, that is, the total purchase price of the customer is transmitted to the customer's mobile terminal. Therefore, it is possible to promote the purchase of products with less CO ₂ emission by customers. In addition, it is possible for a store to acquire repeat customers.

Or, if the CO ₂ rank of all the products registered for sales meets a predetermined standard, the point card (CO ₂ points) corresponding to the total price of the products registered for sales, that is, the total purchase price of the customer Therefore, it is possible to promote the purchase of products with less CO ₂ emission by customers. In addition, it is possible for a store to acquire repeat customers.

In addition, since CO ₂ emissions for daily or monthly sales of all products in the store are aggregated and stored in the daily sales summary file and monthly sales summary file, management of CO ₂ emission reduction efforts at the store Is possible.

Further, since the CO ₂ emission amount is totaled for each product and stored in the daily sales total file and the sales monthly total file, it is possible to manage the CO ₂ emission amount for the sales of each product in the store.

In addition, the description content in the said embodiment is a suitable example of the sales data processing system 100 which concerns on this invention, and is not limited to this.
For example, in the above embodiment, the product with the first CO ₂ rank is output as a recommended eco product on receipt paper or the like, but the recommended eco product is a product purchased by a customer (that is, registered in sales). Products having the same product classification as that of the product and having a higher CO ₂ rank than the product purchased by the customer, and are not limited to those having the highest CO ₂ rank. For example, all products with the same product classification as the product purchased by the customer and having a higher CO ₂ rank than the purchased product may be output as recommended eco-products, or products with a CO ₂ rank up to a predetermined rank may be output. It may be output as a recommended eco product.

Further, in the above embodiment, the customer has decided to grant eco coupons and CO ₂ points when the CO ₂ ranks of all items of all first place purchased, imparts eco coupons and CO ₂ point reference Is not limited to this. For example, eco coupons and CO ₂ points may be given when the CO ₂ rank of all products purchased by the customer is within a predetermined rank.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of each device constituting the sales data processing system 100 can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention.
