The ROM stores various programs executed by the CPU and various data. The RAM temporarily stores data and programs when the CPU executes various programs. The RAM stores sales data indicating sales records of products, and various screens displayed on the store display 15 and the customer display 16. The display data is stored.

  The control unit 31 connects I / O devices such as the keyboard 13, the store clerk display 15, the customer display 16, the printer 17, the scanner 19, the card reader 11, and the HDD 40 via the I / O device control unit 34 and the bus 32. And the entire system of the POS terminal 1 is controlled. The control unit 31 can communicate with a store server (not shown) connected via a LAN (Local Area Network) via the communication I / F 33. In the POS terminal 1 of the present embodiment, one POS terminal 1 may perform product registration, product sales registration, etc. alone, or when a plurality of POS terminals 1 are installed in a store, A plurality of POS terminals 1 may be connected to a store server so that product registration, product registration, and other processes are collectively managed.

  Here, the HDD 40 functions as a storage unit, and stores a ticket issuing reference table 41 and a shopping ticket setting table 42 in addition to various programs executed by the CPU.

  The ticketing reference table 41 is a ticket issueable amount in which a cumulative purchase amount required for the issuance of a shopping ticket is set, and ticketing information on a shopping ticket to be issued when the cumulative purchase amount reaches the ticketable amount, The number of shopping tickets issued is set in association with the member type. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the face value of the shopping voucher is fixed at a fixed amount, and in the following, it is assumed that the face value is 500 yen as an example, and that a single coupon can be used as a discount ticket of 500 yen.

  That is, in the ticketing reference table 41 shown in FIG. 4, when the member type is “1” and the cumulative purchase amount reaches 40,000 yen, which is the first ticket issueable amount 1, and the second time When the possible ticket issue amount 2 reaches 80,000 yen, it is set to issue a shopping ticket with a face value of 500 yen one by one. On the other hand, when the membership type is “2” and the accumulated purchase amount reaches 40,000 yen, which is the ticket issueable amount 1 and when the member purchase type reaches 80,000 yen, which is the ticket issueable amount 2, respectively. It is set that two shopping coupons with a face value of 500 yen are issued two by two. In this way, by changing and setting the number of shopping tickets issued for each member type, the service contents can be easily changed according to the member type.

  The member information receiving unit 35 functions as a receiving means, and inputs, from the various member information read by the card reader 11 from the customer's member card 2, the customer's member type, the total purchase amount, the ticketing flag value, and the like. It will be accepted. For example, when the magnetic information 20 of the member card 2 shown in FIG. 2 is read, the member information receiving unit 35 accepts that the member type is 2 from the first digit of the member number, and further purchases the cumulative amount. The amount is 39,800 yen and the ticketing flag value is 0.

  The calculation unit 36 functions as a calculation unit, calculates the total amount of products purchased by the customer, adds this to the total purchase amount received by the member information reception unit 35, and performs the total purchase after the product purchase. Calculate the amount. In other words, the POS terminal 1 scans the barcode assigned to each product with the scanner 19, receives the product name and product price from the barcode data, and registers the sales for all the products purchased by the customer. Then, when the “current total” key provided on the keyboard 13 is pressed, the POS terminal 1 calculates the purchase price of all the products in this settlement. Here, for example, it is assumed that the purchase price of all products in this settlement is calculated as 400 yen. Then, the calculation unit 36 adds the purchase price of 400 yen for all products in this settlement to the cumulative purchase price of 39,800 yen received by the member information receiving unit 35, and the cumulative purchase price after the product purchase is 40,200 yen. calculate.

  The determination unit 37 functions as a determination unit, and the member information reception unit 35 receives the cumulative purchase amount after the product purchase calculated by the calculation unit 36 with reference to the ticketing reference table 41 (see FIG. 4). Judgment is made as to whether or not the possible ticketing amount for the member type has been reached. Moreover, the determination part 37 determines whether the shopping ticket with respect to the reached ticket issueable amount has been issued with reference to the value of the ticket issue flag. That is, when accepting that the member type is “2”, the determination unit 37 has a ticket issueable amount of 40,000 yen when the member type is “2” in the ticketing reference table 41 shown in FIG. Therefore, when the cumulative purchase amount is 40,200 yen, it is determined that the ticket is available. Then, when the value of the ticketing flag is 0 as shown in FIG. 2, the determination unit 37 has not issued the shopping ticket yet, and the shopping ticket is issued after reaching 40,000 yen. Judge that it is not.

  The extraction unit 38 functions as an extraction unit, and when the determination unit 37 determines that the cumulative purchase amount has reached the ticket issueable amount and that a shopping ticket for the reached ticket issueable amount has not been issued. From the ticket issuing standard table 41 (see FIG. 4), the number of shopping tickets issued according to the member type accepted by the member information receiving unit 35 is extracted. Specifically, the extracting unit 38 refers to the ticket issuing standard table 41 shown in FIG. 4 and when the cumulative purchase amount of the member whose member type is “2” reaches 40,000 yen which is the ticket issueable amount 1. Extracts information that the number of tickets issued is two.

  The ticket issuing unit 39 functions as a ticket issuing means, and issues a shopping ticket based on the shopping ticket setting table 42 (see FIG. 5) and the number of shopping tickets issued by the extracting unit 38. For example, in the case where the extraction unit 38 extracts that the number of shopping tickets issued is two as described above, the ticket issuing unit 39 uses the information set in the shopping ticket setting table 42 shown in FIG. 2 are printed by the print 17, and the printed shopping ticket is issued from the receipt issuing port 18. In addition, when the ticket issuing unit 39 issues a shopping ticket in this way, the ticket issuing flag is rewritten by adding only one value of the ticket issuing flag of the member card 2, and the shopping card is issued once on the member card 2. Remember that you did. Thereby, when the purchase amount has reached the ticket issueable amount, it is possible to avoid issuing the shopping ticket once issued again.

  Further, the ticket issuing unit 39 prints the purchased product name, unit price, total purchase price, and the like by the printer 17 based on the product name read by the scanner 19 and the unit price of the product, and issues a receipt from the receipt issuing port 18. .

  Next, the shopping ticket issuing process performed by the POS terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure of the shopping ticket issuing process.

  First, the member information receiving unit 35 receives the customer member type, the total purchase amount, and the value of the ticket issuing flag when the card reader 11 reads the member information from the magnetic information 20 of the customer's member card 2 (step S1). Next, the calculation unit 36 calculates the total amount of products purchased by the customer, and adds this to the cumulative purchase amount received by the member information receiving unit 35 to calculate the cumulative purchase amount after the purchase of the product (step S2). Then, the determination unit 37 refers to the ticketing standard table 41 (see FIG. 4), and the cumulative purchase amount after the product purchase calculated by the calculation unit 36 is the ticket-issuable amount for the member type accepted by the member information reception unit 35. It is determined whether this is the case (step S3).

  When the cumulative purchase amount is equal to or greater than the ticket issueable amount (step S3: Yes), the determination unit 37 further refers to the ticket issue flag as to whether or not a shopping ticket for the ticket issueable amount that has reached the cumulative purchase amount has been issued. (Step S4). If the corresponding shopping ticket has not been issued yet (step S4: No), the extraction unit 38 issues a shopping ticket for the member type accepted by the member information reception unit 35 from the ticketing reference table 41 (see FIG. 4). The number of sheets is extracted (step S5).

  And the ticket issuing part 39 prints the shopping ticket for the number of ticket issuing which the extraction part 38 extracted based on the shopping ticket setting table 42 with the printer 17, and issues a ticket from the receipt issuing port 18 with a receipt (step S6). After issuing the shopping ticket in this way, the ticket issuing unit 39 adds only one value of the ticketing flag of the magnetic information 20 of the membership card 2 and rewrites the ticket issuing flag (step S7), and ends the shopping ticket issuing process. To do.

  If the cumulative purchase amount is less than the ticket issueable amount in step S3 (step S3: No), or if a shopping ticket for the ticket issueable amount that has reached the cumulative purchase amount has already been issued in step S4 (step S4: In Yes), the ticket issuing unit 39 prints only the receipt by the printer 17, issues it from the receipt issuing port 18 (step S8), and ends the settlement process.
