  Next, merchandise sales data processing by the POS terminal 12 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  In the POS terminal 12, for example, based on a computer program for registration work stored in the ROM 22, the CPU 21 executes one commodity sales transaction processing as shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, first, the CPU 21 waits for registration of a product (step ST11). Then, for example, when a barcode is attached to the product via the scanner 39 or a product code is input by key operation on the keyboard 38 (YES in step ST11), the CPU 21 uses the input product code to enter the product code. Product name, unit price, electronic money point, normal product flag F1, N-fold product flag F2, bonus product flag F3, etc. set in correspondence with the product code preset in the product master 15 by accessing the master 15 Product data consisting of is acquired (step ST12).

  If the product data is acquired, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the product of the product data is an electronic money point target product (step ST13).

  In the process of step ST13, the various product flags F1 to F3 corresponding to the product code are all reset to “0”. That is, when it is determined that the product is not an electronic money point target product (NO in step ST13), the process proceeds to step ST19, and product sales data registration processing is performed.

  In this product sales data registration process, the product code, product name, unit price, and sales points acquired from the product master 15 (if a multiplier is entered immediately before the product code is entered, the multiplier and multiplier are not entered. In this case, a product registration record consisting of 1) and the sales amount (unit price × number of sales points) is created and registered in the product registration memory 231. In addition, the value is updated to a value obtained by adding the sales amount to the value of the subtotal amount. Further, a receipt print data record is generated based on the product registration record and stored in a receipt print memory 234 formed in the RAM 23.

  On the other hand, if “1” is set in any of the various product flags F1 to F3 corresponding to the product in the process of step ST13, the product is determined to be an electronic money point target product. . In this case (YES in step ST13), since the product is an electronic money point target product, the CPU 21 first refers to the normal product flag F1 (step ST14).

  Here, when the normal product flag F1 is set to “1” (YES in step ST14), the CPU 21 determines that the input product code is a normal point target product. Money points are displayed on the customer display 41 (step ST15).

  In step ST19, merchandise sales data registration processing is performed. That is, a product registration record including a product code, a product name, a unit price, a sales point, a sales price, an electronic money point, and the like acquired from the product master 15 is created and registered in the product registration memory 231. Further, the value is updated to the value obtained by adding the sales amount to the value of the subtotal amount. Further, a receipt print record is generated based on the product registration record and stored in a receipt print memory 234 formed in the RAM 23.

  On the other hand, when the normal product flag F1 is reset to “0” in the process of step ST14 (NO in step ST14), the CPU 21 refers to the N-times product flag F2 (step ST16).

  Here, when the N-fold product flag F2 is set to “1” (YES in step ST16), the CPU 21 determines that the input product code is the N-fold point target product, and therefore N-times electronic Money points are displayed on the customer display 41 (step ST17).

  In step ST19, merchandise sales data registration processing is performed. That is, a product registration record including a product code, a product name, a unit price, a sales point, a sales price, an electronic money point, and the like acquired from the product master 15 is created and registered in the product registration memory 231.

  In addition, the value is updated to a value obtained by adding the sales amount to the value of the subtotal amount. Further, a receipt print record is generated based on the product registration record and stored in a receipt print memory 234 formed in the RAM 23.

  On the other hand, when the N-times product flag F2 is reset to “0” in the process of step ST14 (NO in step ST16), the CPU 21 is set to the bonus product flag F3 “1”. Since the input product code is a bonus point target product, bonus electronic money points are displayed on the customer display 41 (step ST18).

  In step ST19, merchandise sales data registration processing is performed. That is, a product registration record including a product code, a product name, a unit price, a sales point, a sales price, an electronic money point, and the like acquired from the product master 15 is created and registered in the product registration memory 231.

  Also, the value of the subtotal is updated to a value obtained by adding the sales amount. Further, a receipt print record is generated based on the product registration record, and is stored in the receipt print memory 234 formed in the RAM 23.

  CPU21 determines whether the subtotal key provided in the keyboard 38 is operated (step ST20).

  When it is determined that the subtotal key has not been operated (NO in step ST20), the process returns to step ST11 again to wait for the next product code to be input.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the subtotal key is operated (YES in step ST20), the CPU 21 displays the value of the subtotal, the total amount of the transaction and the electronic money point, the front display 40 and the customer display 41. (Step ST21).

  The CPU 21 determines whether or not electronic money settlement has been executed (step ST22).

  When the electronic money key 380 is operated and electronic money settlement is declared (YES in step ST22), the CPU 21 executes electronic money settlement processing (step ST23).

  In this electronic money settlement process, the CPU 21 reads and acquires an electronic money number, an electronic money amount, an electronic money point, and the like as electronic money data stored in the electronic money medium 100 by the reader / writer 43.

  Then, the CPU 21 rewrites the electronic money amount and the electronic money point of the electronic money medium 100 with the electronic money amount after the payment amount and the electronic money point granted by the electronic money settlement by the reader / writer 43.

  The electronic money data is temporarily stored in the electronic money memory 233 of the RAM 23.

  On the other hand, when cash settlement is designated by operation of the current key on the keyboard 38 instead of settlement of electronic money (NO in step ST22), the CPU 21 executes cash settlement processing (step ST24).

  After executing either the electronic money settlement process shown in step ST23 or the cash settlement process shown in step ST24, the CPU 21 prints and issues a receipt from the printer 42 based on the receipt print memory 234, or controls the communication interface 26 to perform communication. Post-processing for transmitting transaction information and settlement information to the store server 13 via the line 14 is executed (step ST25). Then, the merchandise sales data processing for one transaction is terminated.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment described above, when the product is an electronic money point target product, when the product is input, the electronic money point is displayed on the customer display 41 so that payment can be made with electronic money. Then, it becomes possible to appeal that electronic money points have been acquired.

  In this way, by making it possible to visually recognize that electronic money points are given to customers, it is possible to raise awareness of transactions by electronic money settlement and lead to sales promotion.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the implementation stage, it can embody by modifying a component in the range which does not deviate from the summary.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the various product flags F1 to F3 are used to determine whether or not the product is an electronic money point target product. However, the determination may be made based on whether or not the electronic money point is “0”.
