  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a procedure for receiving an electronic receipt and providing a service related thereto in this embodiment. The procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

Procedure 1. Prior User Registration by Customer In order to receive the electronic receipt 45, the customer performs user registration in advance in the store-side data center 311 via a sales data processing device or a Web page provided by the store. By performing user registration, the sales data processing apparatus 11 of the store and the mobile communication terminal 111 of the customer can be connected by proximity communication means such as Bluetooth.

  For example, both the sales data processing device 11 and the mobile communication terminal 111 are devices having a Bluetooth communication function, and when a customer's application is made at the store's cash register when the customer's sales, aggregation, and payment are processed, a user in advance Take the case of registration as an example. In this case, the operator of the data processing apparatus 11 operates the keyboard 31a of the data processing apparatus 11 according to the application and performs user registration processing. At the time of user registration, the mobile terminal of the customer is recognized using the pairing process described below. That is, devices having a Bluetooth communication function perform a process called pairing in order to specify a connection partner. When the same passkey (also called an authentication key or PIN) is input to both devices and the exchange is completed, the pairing is completed. Between devices that have been paired once, a connection is automatically established from the next time, and it is not necessary to enter a passkey. The mobile communication terminal 111 and the customer registration data are associated with each other by storing the authentication key related to pairing in association with the user ID of the customer and including it in the customer registration data 300. The contents registered as the customer registration data 300 in advance registration include items of whether or not to issue an electronic receipt and whether or not to use electronic money, and a selection corresponding to the customer's will is registered. In addition, when performing user registration on a Web page, log in to a Web page operated by a seller with a user ID, and after authentication is completed, whether or not electronic receipts are desired to be issued and whether or not electronic money can be used are determined. select. The selected contents are newly registered or updated with respect to the customer data 300.

  The user registration may be registration for one store, but may be registration for one seller. That is, common customer registration data 300 may be used for a plurality of stores of the trader. Furthermore, registration for a group of a plurality of sellers may be used. In that case, the process using the common customer registration data 300 is performed for any store of the merchant participating in the group.

Procedure 2. Issuance of Electronic Receipt Customer 10 who wishes to issue an electronic receipt at the user registration visits the mobile communication terminal 111 and goes to the cash register to purchase goods, and approaches the sales data processing apparatus 11 installed in the store. Then, the proximity detection unit 36a detects the proximity of the device that has been paired.

  In response to the detection, the processing unit 21 accesses the customer registration data 300 stored in the data center 311 via the communication unit 35. And the customer registration data of the customer 10 with which the authentication key which concerns on the said pairing was registered are specified.

  If the contents of the registered data of the customer 10 wish to issue an electronic receipt, the checkout processing unit 21b performs a checkout process for the customer and generates electronic receipt data when the processing is completed. Then, the electronic receipt 45 is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 111 via the proximity communication unit 36b. For paper receipts, do not issue receipts or print a simplified content of the total amount only.

Procedure 3. In this embodiment, the checkout processing unit 21b gives points to the customer 10 when the electronic receipt 45 is issued and a paper receipt is not issued or a simplified receipt is issued. Alternatively, a privilege such as changing the next discount rate is given.
By giving such a privilege to the customer, the customer is guided so that the printing amount of paper receipt issuance is reduced.

(Embodiment 2)
In the second embodiment, an aspect in the case of making a decision with electronic money will be described.
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing different examples of procedures for receiving an electronic receipt and providing a service related thereto in this embodiment.

Procedure 2. Issuance of Electronic Receipt When it is detected that the customer 10 has taken the portable communication terminal 111 and approached the sales data processing device 111, the checkout processing unit 21b transmits the electronic receipt 45 to the portable communication terminal 111 during the checkout process. For paper receipts, do not issue receipts or print a simplified content of the total amount only. These processes are the same as those in the first embodiment.
In this embodiment, the customer 10 pays with the electronic money 200 at the time of payment. The settlement processing unit 21 b automatically transmits the payment amount and balance of electronic money to the mobile communication terminal 111.
Thereby, the customer 10 can check the balance of the electronic money at the mobile communication terminal 111 without going to a terminal dedicated to electronic money and making a balance inquiry each time.

Procedure 3. Point addition Point addition processing is the same as in the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 3)
As an application example of the electronic receipt, the sales data processing apparatus 11 may add an attribute that allows one-time printing output to the electronic receipt 45 and transmit it to the mobile communication terminal 111. The customer 10 that has received the electronic receipt 45 can print a receipt or a receipt only once, as necessary, using an apparatus other than the sales data processing apparatus 11 such as a printer owned by the customer 10.

(Embodiment 4)
As a further application example, if a user is registered in advance, a service for collecting and receiving weekly transactions and monthly transactions of the entire family at the data center 311 may be provided.

As described above, it is expected that the store side and the customer side will obtain the following benefits by issuing the electronic receipt according to the present invention and providing the related service.
On the store side that issues electronic receipts, it is possible to reduce the number of receipt papers to be printed, the printing time, and the delivery time.
Furthermore, when a privilege point corresponding to the issue of an electronic receipt is given to a customer, the purchase opportunity of the customer is increased by adding the point, and an increase in sales is expected.
When the customer receives the electronic receipt issuance service, the privilege points are added.

  Further, according to the fourth embodiment, the customer can receive not only the electronic receipt but also the processed data from the data center 311 and use it for accounting management at home or business.

≪Flowchart≫
In the above-mentioned embodiment, the flow of the process which the process part 21 performs is demonstrated below based on a flowchart.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of user registration processing executed by the terminal processing unit 121 of the mobile communication terminal 111 in the above-described embodiment. FIG. 4 shows processing of the terminal processing unit 121 when the customer accesses the web page prepared by the store using the mobile communication terminal 111 and performs user registration. In the mode of FIG. 4, setting items are sequentially displayed on the web page at the time of user registration.

  In FIG. 4, the terminal processing unit 121 accesses a web page for user registration prepared by a store on the Internet (step S11). The terminal processing unit 121 communicates with a server that provides the web page on the Internet via the terminal communication unit 135. Then, a web page screen is displayed on the terminal display unit 129.

  On the screen of the web page, a selection is made as to whether or not to issue an electronic receipt. When the customer makes a selection according to the screen, the terminal input unit 131 accepts a selection operation. The terminal processing unit 121 notifies the server of the operation via the terminal communication unit 135 (step S13). The selection is temporarily stored on the server side.

  Subsequently, on the screen of the web page, a selection of whether to permit electronic money approval is displayed. When the customer makes a selection according to the screen, the terminal input unit 131 accepts a selection operation. The terminal processing unit 121 notifies the server of the operation via the terminal communication unit 135 (step S15). The selection is temporarily stored on the server side.

  When the selection of permitting approval by electronic money is accepted (Yes in step S17), the screen of the web page displays a selection of whether to receive the electronic money settlement amount and balance data when issuing an electronic receipt. The When a selection for prohibiting approval by electronic money is accepted (No in step S17), the screen is skipped. When the customer makes a selection according to the screen, the terminal input unit 131 accepts a selection operation. The terminal processing unit 121 notifies the server of the operation via the terminal communication unit 135 (step S19). The selection is temporarily stored on the server side.

  Similarly, when a screen for selecting other items related to user registration is displayed and the terminal input unit 131 accepts a selection operation by the customer, the terminal processing unit 121 notifies the server of the operation (step S21). . The selection is temporarily stored on the server side. Other items include, for example, registration of a user ID. In addition, as described in the third embodiment, whether or not to allow one-time printing of electronic receipts, whether the transaction data of all the family members described in the fourth embodiment is aggregated and provided in the data center 311 A choice of whether or not may be included.

Finally, a screen as to whether to approve the contents of each setting item is displayed. When the customer performs an approval operation, the terminal input unit 131 accepts the operation, and the terminal processing unit 121 notifies the server of the operation (step S23). On the server side, data corresponding to the customer is added to the customer registration data 300 based on the temporarily stored contents of each selection.
The above is an example of processing at the time of user registration. Next, processing when the sales data processing apparatus 11 performs customer checkout processing will be described.
FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are flowcharts showing the settlement process executed by the processing unit 21 (including the settlement processing unit 21b) of the sales data processing apparatus 11.

  In FIG. 5, the processing unit 21 waits for the proximity detection unit 36 a to detect the proximity of the mobile communication terminal 111 (Yes in Step S <b> 31), and acquires identification information of the close mobile communication terminal (Step S <b> 33). When an authentication key related to Bluetooth pairing is used as identification information, the authentication key is acquired.

  And it communicates with the data center 311 via the communication part 35, and inquires whether the customer corresponding to the acquired authentication key is registered into the customer registration data 300 (step S35). The process according to whether or not it is registered is executed in step S43 described later.

  Subsequently, the processing unit 21 registers products for sale (step S37). The product registration is performed using the barcode reader 31b or the keyboard 31a. After each product is registered, it is determined whether registration of the next product is accepted or whether all products are registered and the process proceeds to payment (step S39). When the next product is registered (No in step S39), the routine returns to step S37 described above and repeats acceptance of registration.

  When the process proceeds to payment processing (Yes in step S39), the sales amount of the registered merchandise is totaled, and payment processing by cash, card or electronic money is performed (step S41).

  After processing the payment, the processing unit 21 checks whether or not the mobile communication terminal inquired in step S35 is registered in the customer registration data 300 (step S43). If not registered (No in step S43), the routine proceeds to step S61 in FIG. 6 to be described later, and prints a receipt.

  If registered (Yes in step S43), it is checked whether or not the setting of the customer registration data relating to the customer permits the issue of an electronic receipt (step S45). If not permitted, the routine proceeds to step S61 in FIG. 6 to be described later, and prints a receipt.

  If the customer is permitted to issue an electronic receipt (Yes in step S45), the processing unit 21 generates electronic receipt data and transmits the electronic receipt to the mobile communication terminal 111 (step S47 in FIG. 6).

  Waiting for the completion of transmission of the electronic receipt (step S49), the processing unit 21 further issues privilege points relating to the electronic receipt issuance to the customer (step S51). Then, the data center 311 is notified of the fact that points have been issued to the customer and the number of points issued (step S53). Since the data center 311 manages the point data 301 of each customer, the data center 311 requests the update of the point data 301 for the customer.

  Waiting for the transmission of the notification related to the point (step S55), the processing unit 21 determines whether or not to issue a paper receipt for the customer (step S57). Whether or not to print the receipt for the customer who issued the electronic receipt may be uniformly determined by the store, or may be selected by the customer as one of the selection items at the time of user registration. If printing of the receipt is omitted (Yes in step S57), the process is terminated.

  When printing a receipt, the routine proceeds to step S61. Here, the processing unit 21 determines whether to perform simple receipt printing or normal receipt printing. That is, for the customer who issued the electronic receipt (Yes in step S61), print data having simple contents as compared with the normal receipt is generated (step S63), and then the routine proceeds to step S67. For example, print data with only the total sales amount and consumption tax is omitted, omitting the product details of sales.

On the other hand, for customers who do not issue electronic receipts (No in step S61), normal receipt print data is generated (step S65), and then the routine proceeds to step S67. Then, the processing unit 21 causes the printing unit 33 to print a receipt based on the generated print data (step S67), and ends the process.
The above is the flow of the settlement process. Next, processing when the mobile communication terminal 111 receives an electronic receipt will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating processing in which the terminal processing unit 121 receives and displays the electronic receipt 45 from the sales data processing apparatus 11.

  In FIG. 7, when receiving the electronic receipt (Yes in Step S51), the terminal processing unit 121 displays the content of the received electronic receipt on the terminal display unit 129 (Step S53).

Further, when the balance of electronic money, payment amount, etc. are received (Yes in step S55), the received electronic money balance, payment amount, etc. are displayed on the terminal display unit 129 (step S57). The process ends.
