Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for electronically processing transaction information at a cash register using an RFID tag.

  As an accounting after payment at a store, it is common to take a receipt and enter it into household account book software or accounting software.

As a prior art of an electronic receipt system, JP-A-2005-56143 (Patent Document 1) has been proposed.
This is a system for recording receipt information in the memory of the RFID chip itself.

JP 2005-56143 A

  However, in the system as described above, although purchase information is digitized, it is necessary to read the RFID again with a PC, which imposes an excessive burden on the purchaser and accounting staff. In other words, the purchaser is obliged to keep receipts and cards, and must also enter the software, leading to increased costs in the accounting department and reduced operating efficiency.

  At present, attention is being paid to cashier settlement with transportation IC cards such as Suica (East Japan Railway Company) and services such as Osaifu-Keitai (Sony Corporation).

However, this service was not limited to point of sale or payment, but it did not improve the convenience of purchasers' accounting and accounting.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and a technical problem is to realize a system in which a purchaser can be easily identified and the purchaser / accounter is not burdened.

The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, a mobile tag possessed by a purchaser and registered with tag identification information, a tag sensor capable of short-range communication with the mobile tag, and tag identification information from the mobile tag connected to the tag sensor via a network A registration terminal that can be transmitted to the registration terminal, and a table that is connected to the registration terminal via a network and that is associated with identification information input to the registration terminal and purchase information associated with the identification terminal information. When the central processing unit of the management server receives tag identification information, terminal identification information, and amount information from the booth terminal, the amount information is stored in a table and the amount information is output to the outside. Or an accounting information synchronization / automatic input system that performs calculations on a server (or virtual server).

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the above, an initial input terminal is provided, and a personal information table that associates mobile tag identification information with purchaser's personal identification information and personal attribute information is received on the terminal or the management server. This is a purchase information recording system to be generated.

  According to the present invention, an accounting information input / calculation system is realized that places little burden on the purchaser and does not risk losing details.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a network configuration which is one embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in the figure, this system includes a management server, a cash register terminal, and an initial input terminal.

    The management server (SV) is a general-purpose network server, and has a large-scale storage device such as a hard disk device connected by a bus around a central processing unit and a main memory. Along with the operating system, a management program that functions as a management server (SV), a purchase information table (BITBL), and the like are provided. Of the above systems, VPS services, etc. that have virtually realized the above structure are also included

  As shown in FIG. 3, the reception terminal (RET) is an information terminal such as a general-purpose network connectable cash register terminal, personal computer, or tablet terminal, to which a tag sensor (TGS1) is connected. The booth terminal (BOT) installed in the store has the same configuration, and a tag sensor (TGS2) is connected or built in.

  The reception terminal (RET) is installed in a cash register or a mobile tag input terminal (Pasori (trademark of SONY Corporation)). Visitors (purchasers) obtain mobile tags (MTG) by purchasing them in advance. The visitor (purchaser) brings the prepared mobile tag (MTG) close to the tag sensor (TGS1) connected to the reception terminal (RET). An RFID chip is built in the mobile tag (MTG), and a unique tag identification code (tag identification information, TID = 01) compliant with EPCglobal or T-Engine forum is registered in the RFID chip.

  Further, the mobile tag has a storage area, and an identification number / symbol unique to the operator may be recorded in the storage area.

  The tag identification code (TID = 01) read by the tag sensor (TGS1) is sent to the receiving terminal (RET) to generate a personal information table (PSTBL).

At the first time, the reception terminal (RET) inputs the personal information of the visitor (purchaser).
The input personal information is associated with the tag identification (TID = 01) of the mobile tag (MTG) prepared above, and a personal information table (PSTBL) is generated. At this time, the personal information refers to information such as the name of software used for accounting in a company, in addition to personal identification information such as name, gender, age, occupation, etc. for identifying an individual.
When entering personal information, access the management server from a personal computer or smartphone at home in advance, enter the address, name, etc. at the time of pre-registration, and distribute the card containing the received data May be used.

  Next, a tag sensor connected to a cash register terminal (BOT) installed at a cash register when a visitor (purchaser) who has been handed the mobile tag (MTG) purchases goods and services and makes an account. (TGS2), the mobile tag (MTG) possessed is brought close (contacted).

  By such proximity (contact) operation, the RFID chip built in the mobile tag (MTG) and the tag sensor (TGS2) communicate with each other, and tag identification information (TID = 01) is transferred to the cash register terminal (TGS2) via the tag sensor (TGS2). BOT).

  The tag identification information (TID = 01) and transaction information read by the cash register terminal (BOT) are transmitted to the management server (SV) via the network (NW) together with the terminal identification information (T0001) of the cash register terminal.

  The central processing unit of the management server (SV) that has received the tag identification information (TID = 01) and the terminal identification information (T001) generates a purchase information table (BITBL) that the management server (SV) has. In this purchase information table (BITBL), terminal identification information (T001) is associated with a purchase amount, a purchase date, a purchaser name, and an item name in a readable form.

The management server (SV) stores the transaction information received from the reception terminal (RET) in the purchase information table.

Thus, the information transmitted to the purchase information table can be transmitted to the accounting system used by the purchaser via the network (NW).

Such purchaser information makes it possible to improve the efficiency of corporate accounting using purchase information, or to share a household account book and perform real-time management of money.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on embodiment, this invention is not limited to these.

For example, the shapes of the mobile tag (MTG) and the tag sensors (TGS1, TGS2) are shown in FIG. 3 as an example, but are not limited thereto. As a mobile tag (MTG), a card-shaped general-purpose Edy card (trademark of Bit Wallet Co., Ltd.) or Suica card (trademark of JR East Japan Co., Ltd.) may be used. As tag sensors (TGS1, TGS2), A card mounting type device (PaSoRi: a trademark of Sony Corporation) may be used.

Further, the tag sensor (TGS) connected to the booth terminal (BOT) may be provided with an operation classification flag according to the type of operation of the mobile tag (MTG) with respect to the tag sensor (TGS) as a single device. For example, when an operation that repeatedly strikes a mobile tag (MTG) with respect to a tag sensor (TGS) is detected, the booth terminal (BOT) operates as a receipt for a corporate account linked to the same RFID tag. A flag value may be added.
Furthermore, the booth terminal (BOT) is not limited to that described in the embodiment. For example, an RFID chip is registered in the tag sensor (TGS), a mobile phone (user's mobile terminal) is brought close to the tag sensor (TGS), and the purchaser information is directly managed from the mobile phone etc. You may make it transmit to. In the embodiment, the purchase information has been described with an example of remarks on the questionnaire. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and additional information such as a memo on purchase and a flag value of ticket information for receiving after-sales service may be transmitted simultaneously.

The present invention can be applied to input / automatic input of accounting information for payment of money, and can also be applied to service promotion from a purchase information log.
