Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus.

  In general, in product sales, it is natural to give purchase receipts to customers, and sales information is important for the seller to plan sales and purchases for future products. Sales data, various conditions are set and stored. For this purpose, a POS system in which merchandise sales registration data processing devices are networked is constructed. By using such a POS system, services such as discounts can be provided to customers. . This customer service also has a sales promotion aspect, and various types of merchandise distributors have considered various types of service providing means. Generally, by issuing a point card to each customer and presenting this point card at the time of sale, the points corresponding to the sales amount are added at the time of product sales, and this point is converted into an amount and settled. By doing so, a substantial discount service is performed. In addition, a purchase receipt issued at the time of merchandise sale is used as a discount ticket, and the ratio or amount described in the receipt is discounted at the next sale. Furthermore, since the purchase receipt issued at the time of sale of the product is a printed matter by a printer, it is common to print advertisement information including special sale information, etc., and is used on a daily basis.

  However, since the amount of information that can be printed simply with letters or graphics on a limited area purchase receipt is limited, as described in Patent Document 1, It is considered to print a two-dimensional code that can be read by a personal computer and print a large amount of advertisement information on a purchase receipt in a limited space.

  Although it is possible to increase the amount of information to be transmitted to the customer by the technique described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is necessary to read the two-dimensional code printed on the purchase receipt at home. PC is necessary and cannot be read easily. In addition, the information included in the two-dimensional code is mainly advertising information, and does not provide a financial service to customers for substantial discounts.

  The merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus of the embodiment prints one of a holding unit that divides privilege data into a plurality of data, and sales information for each transaction and the plurality of divided data on a receipt. A printing unit and a control unit for confirming the past number of registrations based on customer information and instructing the printing unit to print one of the divided data different from the previously provided data. The data divided into a plurality and printed for each transaction is restored to the privilege data by combining all the data.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a POS terminal according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the POS terminal. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an example of the issued purchase receipt. FIG. 4 is a perspective view in which a two-dimensional code of an issued purchase receipt is read by a mobile phone. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 shows a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus constituting the POS system, that is, a POS terminal 1. In this POS terminal 1, a control unit 3 is integrally mounted on a drawer 2, and this control unit 3 displays a display unit 4 by a display, an input unit 5 by a keyboard, and a purchase receipt described later. A printer 6 which is a printing unit to be issued is provided. FIG. 2 shows the basic circuit structure of the POS terminal 1. That is, the display unit 4, the input unit 5, and the printer 6 are connected to the CPU 8 via the bus line 7. The CPU 8 is connected to a memory 9, a barcode scanner 10, a hard disk 11, a two-dimensional code printing unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The two-dimensional code printing means 12 is for generating a two-dimensional code (QR code (registered trademark)) that can be read by a mobile phone and includes information that becomes a service condition at the next sale. Based on the information from the two-dimensional code printing means 12, the printer 6 performs actual printing.

  Next, what is shown in FIG. 3 is an example of the purchase receipt 14. On the upper part of the purchase receipt 14, a store name, a message, a telephone number, and the like are printed, and in the middle part, sales information 15 such as a product, the number, and the price is printed individually. In the lower part, service information 16 is printed. That is, in this case, the membership system is adopted, the member information is input before the accounting process by the membership card or the like, and the name of the member “Tech Taro” is printed. Then, when using a ringtone melody (hereinafter referred to as “Ringtones (registered trademark))” as a <Point Member Benefit>, it is written as “Ringtone Data Service for every purchase of 1,000 yen or more” and “Model” : XXXX (first time / 3) If collected three times, it will become regular data. " At the bottom, a two-dimensional code (QR code) 17 is printed. The two-dimensional code 17 is “first time / 3”, and “second time / 3” and “third time / 3” are read and become completed information. Therefore, in the future, a desired service cannot be obtained unless a purchase of 1,000 yen or more is made twice.

  4 shows the usage state of the issued purchase receipt 14, and uses the reading function of the two-dimensional code attached to the mobile phone 18. FIG. That is, the two-dimensional code 17 printed on the purchase receipt 14 is read by the camera function of the mobile phone 18. The state can be confirmed on the display 19.

  An example of the operation of such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. First, the customer pays through an operator after presenting a member card (not shown). That is, the member No. is read by reading the member card. Is recognized, and then sales of individual products are registered. Then, after the registration of all the products is completed, the closing operation is performed by pressing the current total key. As a result, the POS terminal 1 checks how many times the registered member, in this case, “Tech Taro-sama” is registered. The sales record of the member “Tech Taro-sama” is stored in the memory of the store controller (not shown) of the higher-level model, and the number of purchases can be obtained by searching through the communication means 13. It is done. Assuming that the service is set to be performed once in three purchases, when the purchase is made for the first time this time, the two-dimensional code 17 of “first time / 3” is selected and called. And printed on the purchase receipt 14. Thereby, the purchase receipt 14 as shown in FIG. 3 is handed over to the customer “Tech Taro”.

  The purchase receipt 14 issued in this way needs to be stored after confirming that it is the “first / 3” two-dimensional code 17. Then, in the next shopping, a “second / third” and then a “third / third” purchase receipt 14 are issued. When three shopping receipts 14 are accumulated, the customer shows in FIG. Thus, each two-dimensional code 17 is read by the own mobile phone 18. That is, by reading the three two-dimensional codes 17, all the data is completed and becomes one piece of information. Specifically, a predetermined ringtone is stored in the memory of the mobile phone 18.

  When the ringtone is recorded in this way, the customer reproduces the ringtone at the time of payment in the next shopping. The operator who listens to the ringtone recognizes that this time is the time when the service is applied, and performs a service such as discount. The fact that this service has been provided is recorded in the recorded data of the customer “Tech Taro-sama” as a member, and the provision of duplicate services is prevented.

  As a means for recognizing the ringtone when the service is provided by the ringtone, in addition to the means for the operator to listen by ear, a voice recognition unit is created in the POS terminal 1 and the mobile phone is in the state of playing the ringtone. The telephone 18 may be directly recognized by the voice recognition unit of the POS terminal 1.

  In the above-described embodiment, the two-dimensional code 17 in which the ringtone is recorded has been described. However, in the implementation, standby screen data may be input. In this case, since it becomes image data, the image data is read by the mobile phone 18. Then, the customer who wants to receive the service displays the stored standby screen data on the display 19 of the mobile phone 18 and shows it to the operator who operates the POS terminal 1 or gives the POS terminal 1 a reading function. Force automatic reading. Thereby, it recognizes that it is a standby screen provided for the service, and the same service as the case of the above-mentioned ringtone data is performed.

  Note that the number of two-dimensional codes 17 that can be synthesized, in other words, the number of synthesizable two-dimensional codes 17 can be up to 10, so that it is possible to synthesize the purchase receipt 14 ten times. is there. However, since the customer has to store a large number of purchase receipts 14 in such a large number of times, in actual service, the next service is received by issuing one purchase receipt 14 rather. It is also useful to be able to.

  As described above, in the present invention, in the merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus for issuing a purchase receipt, the purchase receipt is two-dimensionally incorporated with information that can be read by a mobile phone and is a service condition at the next sale. Although it is a merchandise sales registration data processing device provided with a two-dimensional code printing means for printing a code, the information included in the two-dimensional code may be ringtone data or standby screen data . Further, the information contained in the two-dimensional code is divided into a plurality of pieces, and one completed information is obtained by reading and synthesizing a plurality of two-dimensional codes including the divided information. Is also good. As a result, it is possible to make use of the sales promotion by providing services to customers who use it many times.

  Furthermore, a ringtone melody recognizing means for recognizing that a ringtone generated from a mobile phone is received and the ringtone is a ringtone of a two-dimensional code including information that is a service condition provided in advance is provided, or a mobile phone is provided. By having a standby screen recognition means that recognizes the standby screen displayed on the phone and recognizes that the standby screen is a standby screen of a two-dimensional code that contains information that is a service condition provided in advance, the customer possesses Service information can be easily and simply recognized.

  Therefore, since the reading function of the two-dimensional code attached to the mobile phone can be used, it can be transmitted even if the amount of information transmitted to the customer is extremely large, and the privilege data (without using the mobile phone line) For example, since incoming melody data and standby screen data) can be acquired, a connection fee is not incurred and it is extremely inexpensive, and services such as discounts at the time of sale can be easily performed.

  In addition, when privilege data (for example, incoming melody data or standby screen data) is recorded, the customer can play the incoming melody data or standby screen data at the next purchase from the mobile phone at the time of payment. Recognizing means for receiving a generated ringtone (registered trademark) or standby screen and recognizing that the ringtone or standby screen is a ringtone or standby screen of a two-dimensional code including information that is a service condition provided in advance. The service information held by the customer can be easily and easily recognized.
