Information necessary for program execution is stored in a nonvolatile manner.

Hereinafter, the operation of the payment system 100 will be described in detail.
First, registration processing by the scanning station 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the registration process executed in the scanning station 10 shown in FIG. 2, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are examples of transaction data stored in the management server 30 constituting the settlement system 100 shown in FIG. FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a check ticket output from the scanning station 10 shown in FIG.

  The registration process executed in the scanning station 10 shown in FIG. 6 is performed by loading the control program stored in the external storage device 13 or the portable recording medium 14a into the memory 12, and the CPU 11 executing the control program. For example, by a specific operation of a cashier. The registration process shown in FIG. 6 is executed for each scanning station 10.

  When the registration process of FIG. 6 is started, the scanning station 10 determines that the transaction has started, and assigns a transaction number (step S101). The transaction number is, for example, a number that is incremented by 1 every time the registration process is started, and is managed for each scanning station 10. Therefore, since there is a possibility that the same transaction number is used in the scanning station 10a and the scanning station 10b, in the settlement system 100, the terminal number for identifying the transaction number and the scanning station 10 (for example, the scanning station 10a, The transaction is specified by a unique code combining “0001” and “0002” for the scanning station 10b. That is, the transaction code mentioned above is a code combining the terminal number and the transaction number.

  Next, the fixed scanner 16a or the hand scanner 16b performs a scanning process (step S103). Here, if the cashier has brought the product barcode close to the fixed scanner 16a or the hand scanner 16b, the product number is obtained from the read barcode and the product to be purchased is specified. On the other hand, if the cashier has brought the check-in ticket close to the fixed scanner 16a or the hand scanner 16b, the transaction code is acquired from the bar code (QR code) of the check-in ticket.

  Thereafter, the scanning station 10 determines whether the information acquired by the fixed scanner 16a or the hand scanner 16b is a product number or a transaction code (step S105).

  If it is determined that the information acquired in step S105 is a product number, the scanning station 10 registers the product specified by the product number as a product to be purchased (step S107). More specifically, a transaction code including the terminal number and the transaction number acquired in step S101 is transmitted to the management server 30 together with the product number acquired in step S103, and the information is stored in the management server 30. As a result, the management server 30 adds a record to the purchased product table.

  When determining that the information acquired in step S105 is a transaction code, the scanning station 10 associates the transaction code acquired in step S105 with the current transaction code (step S109). More specifically, a transaction code including the terminal number and the transaction number acquired in step S101 is transmitted to the management server 30 together with the transaction code acquired in step S105. Thereby, in the management server 30, a record is added to a transaction related table, and these transaction codes are associated.

  When the product registration in step S107 or the association of the transaction code in step S109 is completed, the scanning station 10 determines whether or not a ticket issuing button for instructing the end of the transaction has been pressed (step S111).

  If it is determined in step S111 that the ticketing button has not been pressed, the scanning station 10 returns to step S103 and repeats the above processing. For this reason, since the product information specified by the fixed scanner 16a or the hand scanner 16b during the transaction period from the start to the end of the transaction is added to the purchased product table with the same transaction code, the same transaction code is used. It is associated and stored in the management server 30.

  If it is determined in step S111 that the ticketing button has been pressed, the scanning station 10 determines that the transaction has ended, and performs a process for ending a series of product registrations (step S113). More specifically, a transaction code composed of the terminal number and the transaction number acquired in step S101 is transmitted to the management server 30, and the management server 30 is notified of the end of the transaction specified by the transaction code. Thereby, in the management server 30, the record regarding the completed transaction is added to the transaction table.

  Finally, the printer 19 issues a check ticket printed with a barcode (QR code) indicating a transaction code consisting of the terminal number and the transaction number acquired in step S101, and a series of registration processing is completed (step S115). ).

  As an example of the above registration process, customer B registers one apple at scanning station 10b, and then customer A registers one orange at scanning station 10a and reads customer B's checkout ticket. Specifically, it is as follows.

  First, for example, the scanning station 10b assigns the transaction number “1111” (step S101), reads the barcode attached to the apple, and identifies the product number “4910000000001” of the apple (step S103). Further, a transaction code consisting of the transaction number “1111” and the terminal number “0002” of the scanning station 10b is transmitted to the management server 30 together with the product number “4910000000001” of the apple, and FIG. A record indicated by the first record in b) is added (step S107). After detecting the pressing of the ticketing button (step S111), a transaction code consisting of the terminal number “0002” and the transaction number “1111” of the scanning station 10b is further transmitted to the management server 30, and the transaction code of the management server 30 is displayed in the transaction table. A record indicated by the first record of 7 (a) is added (step S113). Then, a check ticket printed with a barcode (QR code) indicating a transaction code composed of the terminal number “0002” and the transaction number “1111” is issued (step S115). That is, FIG. 7 shows a transaction table and a purchased product table in the management server 30 when the customer B registers one apple at the scanning station 10b.

  Next, for example, the scanning station 10a assigns the transaction number “9001” (step S101), reads the barcode attached to the mandarin orange, and identifies the mandarin orange product number “4900000000001” (step S103). Then, a transaction code composed of the transaction number “9001” and the terminal number “0001” of the scanning station 10a is transmitted to the management server 30 together with the product number “4900000000001” of the mandarin orange, and FIG. A record indicated by the second record in b) is added (step S107).

  Further, the bar code (QR code) printed on the check ticket output by the apple registration is read to identify the transaction code (terminal number “0002” and transaction number “1111”) indicating the apple registration process ( Step S103). Then, together with the identified transaction code (terminal number “0002” and transaction number “1111”), the transaction code (terminal number “0001” and transaction number “9001”) assigned to the current transaction period is sent to the management server 30. Then, the record shown in the first record in FIG. 8C is added to the transaction relation table of the management server 30 (step S109). After detecting the pressing of the ticket issuing button (step S111), a transaction code consisting of the terminal number “0001” of the scanning station 10a and the transaction number “9001” is transmitted to the management server 30, and FIG. 8 ( The record shown in the second record of a) is added, and the total amount of the record shown in the first record of FIG. 8A is updated (step S113). Then, the checkout ticket 50 shown in FIG. 9 on which a barcode (QR code) 51 indicating a transaction code composed of the terminal number “0001” and the transaction number “9001” is printed is issued (step S115).

  As shown in FIG. 9, in addition to the barcode (QR code) 51, the transaction amount corresponding to each of the associated transaction codes and the total amount of those transactions are printed on the check ticket 50. ing.

  In the above, an example of reading the barcode (QR code) of one check ticket during the transaction period is shown, but the scanning station 10 reads the barcode (QR code) of a plurality of check tickets during the transaction period. Also good. The scanning station 10 reads a plurality of barcodes (QR codes) read during the same transaction period, and stores a plurality of transaction codes specified from the plurality of barcodes (QR codes) in the management server 30 in association with each other. Therefore, a plurality of check tickets that have already been issued can be combined into a single check ticket.

  In addition, the product registration is not necessarily performed in the scanning station 10, and the scanning station 10 can perform only the process of collecting the checkout tickets.

  Further, the barcode (QR code) read by the scanning station 10 is not limited to the one printed on the check ticket output from the same scanning station 10. As shown in the above example, the bar code (QR code) of the check ticket output from the scanning station 10b may be read by the scanning station 10a, and the bar code (QR code) of the check ticket output from the scanning station 10a. ) May be read by the scanning station 10b.

  Next, the payment process by the payment station 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the settlement process executed in the payment station 20 shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a payment receipt output from the payment station 20 shown in FIG.

  The settlement process executed in the payment station 20 shown in FIG. 10 is performed by loading the control program stored in the external storage device 23 or the portable recording medium 24a into the memory 22 and the CPU 21 executing the control program. The customer starts by bringing the check ticket close to the scanner 26. The checkout process shown in FIG. 10 is executed for each payment station 20.

  When the checkout process in FIG. 10 is started, the scanner 26 performs a scan process (step S201). Here, the customer reads the barcode (QR code) 51 from the check ticket 50 shown in FIG. 7 close to the scanner 26, and the transaction code (terminal number “0001” and transaction number “ 9001 ”).

  The payment station 20 that has read the barcode (QR code) from the checkout ticket 50 displays the amount to be paid by the customer specified by the transaction code on the touch panel display 27 (step S203).

  More specifically, the payment station 20 transmits the identified transaction code to the management server 30 and inquires about the amount to be paid by the customer. The management server 30 that has received the transaction code searches the transaction table using the transaction code as a search key, and transmits the value of the total amount column of the corresponding record to the payment station 20. Then, the payment station 20 displays the value of the received total amount on the touch panel display 27 as the amount to be paid by the customer. In the above example, the total amount “560” of the second record in FIG. 8A is displayed on the touch panel display 27 by the transaction code consisting of the terminal number “0001” and the transaction number “9001”.

  The touch panel display 27 may display information on purchased products in addition to the total price. In this case, the purchased product table may be searched using the transaction code as a search key in addition to the transaction table. .

  When the customer inserts cash into the cash payment unit 28, the payment station 20 requests the management server 30 for a settlement process (step S205).

  More specifically, the transaction code (transaction code consisting of terminal number “0001” and transaction number “9001”) acquired in step S201 is transmitted, and the transaction code (terminal number “0001” and transaction number “9001”) is transmitted. To the management server 30 that the price of the product registered in the transaction specified by the transaction code (transaction code consisting of the terminal number “0002” and the transaction number “1111”) has been paid. Notice. In response to this, the management server 30 stores the fact that the price of these products has been paid, for example, by updating the value of a column (not shown) indicating whether or not the payment has been made, provided in the transaction table.

  Finally, upon receiving notification from the management server 30 that the settlement process including information necessary for issuing the payment receipt has been completed normally, the printer 29 displays the payment receipt of the transaction for which the payment has been completed for each transaction (transaction code). (Step S207).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the payment receipt 61 corresponding to the transaction code (terminal number “0001” and transaction number “9001”) acquired in step S201 is associated with the transaction code acquired in step S201. The payment receipt 62 corresponding to the transaction code (terminal number “0002” and transaction number “1111”) is output.

  The payment receipt 61 is printed with information on the product (“mandarin orange”) associated with the transaction code consisting of the terminal number “0001” and the transaction number “9001”, whereas the payment receipt 62 contains Information on the product (“apple”) associated with the transaction code consisting of the terminal number “0002” and the transaction number “1111” is printed.

  When the issuance of all the payment receipts is completed, the payment station 20 ends the settlement process.

  As described above, in the checkout system 100, the scanning station 10 performs product registration by associating the information on the product specified from the barcode with the same transaction code and storing it in the management server 30 during the transaction period. . In addition, the scanning station 10 associates the transaction code specified from the bar code (QR code) of the check ticket during the same transaction period with the transaction code assigned to the product information specified from the barcode to the management server 30. Remember me. Furthermore, the scanning station 10 issues one check ticket for a plurality of associated transactions.

  For this reason, according to the payment system 100, a plurality of transactions can be processed together at the payment station 20 with one payment ticket. Also, even if multiple transactions are associated, each transaction is still recognized as an individual transaction. For this reason, even if it is a case where payment is performed collectively at the payment station 20, a payment receipt can be issued for each transaction.

  Therefore, for example, even when a family member such as a parent or child or a couple visits a retailer's store, each person brings the product he / she wants to purchase into the cash register and registers the product, a plurality of payments are made at the scanning station 10. By collecting the tickets into one checkout ticket, the representative can make a batch payment at the payment station 20. In addition, since a payment receipt including information on products purchased by each person is issued for each individual, the payment receipt can be used to manage the expenditure for each individual.

  In addition, for example, even if there is a product with sales restrictions such as “up to 1 per person”, each member of the family registers the product one by one at the scanning station 10 and outputs by the registration By collecting the plurality of checkout tickets into one checkout ticket at the scanning station 10, the representative can checkout at once with the checkout ticket at the payment station 20.

  The embodiment described above shows a specific example of the present invention in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. The merchandise registration apparatus, settlement system, merchandise registration method, and program of the present invention can be variously modified and changed without departing from the concept of the present invention defined in the claims.

  The table provided in the management server 30 and its structure are examples, and are not limited to the examples described above. As long as a series of product registrations can be managed as one transaction and a plurality of transactions can be managed in association with each other, an arbitrary table structure can be adopted.

  Further, the management server 30 is exemplified as a device different from the scanning station 10 and the payment station 20, but any device that can be accessed by the scanning station 10 and the payment station 20 may be used.
