  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a POS system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The POS system 1 is installed in a store. As shown in FIG. 1, the POS system 1 includes registration devices (also referred to as product registration devices) 10-1, 10-2,..., Settlement devices 20-1, 20-2,. And is communicably connected via the LAN 40. Since the registration devices 10-1, 10-2,... Have the same configuration, they are collectively referred to as the registration device 10 unless they are distinguished from each other. Since the settlement apparatuses 20-1, 20-2,... Have the same configuration, they are collectively referred to as the settlement apparatus 20 unless particularly distinguished from each other. In addition to the above, a monitoring device (not shown) that monitors the processing status of the registration device 10 and the payment device 20 may be connected to the LAN 40.

  The store controller 30 is a computer (server) that communicates with each device on the store floor (registration processing 10, checkout device 20), a device outside the store (for example, a headquarter device), and the like. The store controller 30 is installed in a store backyard (not shown) or the like.

  The store controller 30 includes at least a control unit (referred to as a store controller control unit, not shown), a storage unit (referred to as a store controller storage unit, not shown), and a communication unit (referred to as a store controller communication unit, not shown). And comprising. The store controller control unit controls the entire store controller 30.

  The store controller storage unit stores various information. For example, the store controller storage unit stores the product file as a master file. The product file is a master file including a product code (for example, JAN), a product name, and a sales price. The store controller storage unit stores transaction information. The transaction information is information relating to a transaction including a transaction number (transaction specifying information) for specifying (identifying) each transaction and detailed information on each transaction. A transaction number is good also as a number comprised from the apparatus number of the apparatus which processed the said transaction, and the specific number (for example, serial number) numbered for every transaction, for example. The detailed information includes, for example, the device number of the device that processed the transaction, person-in-charge identification information, transaction date and time, product name (or product code), price, number of purchases, total price, etc. Good.

  The store controller communication unit transmits and receives various types of information under the control of the store controller control unit. For example, the store controller communication unit receives a product file from the outside (for example, a server at the headquarters) and stores it in the store controller storage unit. Further, the store controller communication unit transmits (distributes) the product file stored in the store controller storage unit to the registration device 10 and the payment device 20. The store controller communication unit transmits / receives transaction information to / from the registration device 10 and the payment device.

  The registration device 10 is a device that mainly performs registration processing for registering products (purchased products). A store clerk (operator) operates the registration device 10 to cause the registration device 10 to execute a registration process.

  The settlement apparatus 20 is an apparatus that mainly performs a settlement process that settles the purchased product registered by the registration process 10. After the completion of the processing in the registration device 10, the customer moves to the installation location of the payment device 20, operates the payment device 20, and causes the payment device 20 to execute the payment processing.

  The registration process 10 generates registration information (transaction information) in the registration process. The settlement apparatus 20 acquires the registration information generated in the registration process 10 and executes the settlement process using the acquired registration information. There are various modes in which the settlement apparatus 20 acquires registration information, in other words, in the POS system 1, the registration information is supplied from the registration process 10 to the settlement apparatus 20.

(Mode for specifying the settlement apparatus 20)
This is a mode in which the settlement apparatus 20 for executing the settlement process is designated by the registration apparatus 10 and the registration information is supplied to the designated settlement apparatus 20 via the LAN 40. In the case of the said aspect, the registration process 10 receives the input which designates the payment apparatus 20 which performs a payment process from a shop assistant. The designation of the settlement apparatus 20 is one of declarations that allow the registration apparatus 20 to read out product registration information.

  The registration process 10 transmits registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 designated via the LAN 40 when there is an input designating the settlement apparatus 20 that executes the settlement process. Thereby, the registration information is supplied from the registration process 10 to the settlement apparatus 20. Note that the registration process 10 and the settlement apparatus 20 may directly transmit / receive information, or may transmit / receive information via the store controller 30. That is, the registration process 10 may transmit the registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 via the store controller 30 or may directly transmit the registration information to the settlement apparatus 20.

  Further, the registration process 10 may transmit a transaction number instead of transmitting registration information when there is an input designating the settlement apparatus 20 for executing the settlement process. In this case, the registration information is supplied from the registration process 10 to the settlement apparatus 20 as follows. First, the registration process 10 transmits a transaction number to the settlement apparatus 20 designated via the LAN 40 when there is an input for designating the settlement apparatus 20 that executes the settlement process. The settlement apparatus 20 (designated settlement apparatus 20) that has received the transaction number from the registration apparatus 10 receives, for example, the registration information specified by the acquired transaction number when there is a predetermined operation (for example, screen touch). Request to the registration process 10. Upon receiving the request information (information requesting registration information), the registration process 10 transmits the corresponding registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 in response to a request from the settlement apparatus 20. Thereby, the registration information is supplied from the registration process 10 to the settlement apparatus 20. Note that the registration process 10 and the settlement apparatus 20 may directly transmit / receive information, or may transmit / receive information via the store controller 30. That is, the registration process 10 may transmit the transaction number and registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 via the store controller 30 or may directly transmit the transaction number and registration information to the settlement apparatus 20. Further, the checkout process 20 may transmit request information to the registration device 10 via the store controller 30 or may directly transmit the request information to the registration device 10.

(Mode for issuing bills)
This is a mode in which registration information is supplied by designating a bill with the registration device 10 and reading the code information on the bill with the checkout device 20. In the case of the said aspect, the registration process 10 receives the input to the effect of issuing an accounting ticket from a store clerk. It should be noted that the input to issue the bill is one of the declarations that allow the merchandise registration information to be read by the checkout device 20.

  Note that the bill is the purchase data (registration information) itself of a certain transaction or information (transaction number) for specifying the transaction (that is, purchase data) is encoded (for example, one-dimensional barcode or 2). It is a sheet printed with a dimension code (for example, QR code (registered trademark)) and printed. The code on the bill is read by a scanner of the settlement apparatus 20 or the like, and the purchase data of the transaction to be settled is read out to the settlement apparatus 20.

(Mode in which transaction numbers are converted into one-dimensional barcodes)
The registration process 10 issues an accounting ticket printed with a one-dimensional barcode obtained by converting a transaction number into a one-dimensional barcode when there is an input to issue an accounting ticket. The checkout device 20 reads the one-dimensional barcode printed on the bill and acquires a transaction number, requests registration information specified by the acquired transaction number from the registration processing 10, and the registration processing 10 The corresponding registration information may be transmitted to the settlement apparatus 20 in response to a request from the apparatus 20. The checkout process 20 may transmit request information (information for requesting registration information) to the registration apparatus 10 via the store controller 30, or may directly transmit the request information to the registration apparatus 10. Further, the registration process 10 may transmit registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 via the store controller 30 or may directly transmit registration information to the settlement apparatus 20.

  In addition, the payment apparatus 20 may acquire registration information from the store controller 30, when acquiring a transaction number from the accounting ticket on which the one-dimensional barcode was printed. That is, the checkout device 20 does not request the registration information stored in the registration device 10 from the registration device 10, but stores the registration information stored in the store controller (the registration device 10 sends the registration information to the store controller 30 after generation). May be requested from the store controller 30.

(Mode in which registration information is two-dimensionally encoded)
In addition, when the registration processing 10 is input to issue a bill, the registration information is two-dimensionally replaced with a bill printed with a one-dimensional barcode obtained by converting the transaction number into a one-dimensional barcode. You may make it issue the accounting ticket which printed the code | symbol (for example, QR code (trademark)) two-dimensional code. In this case, the checkout apparatus 20 can read the two-dimensional printed on the bill and obtain registration information.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the registration apparatus 10. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the registration device 10 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a scanner unit 104, a store clerk display unit 105, a customer display unit 106, a hard disk 107, and a store clerk operation unit 108. A communication unit 109, a buzzer 110, a printing unit 111, and a bus 112. These are connected to each other via a bus 112.

  The CPU 101 controls the entire registration apparatus 10 by expanding and executing a program stored in the ROM 102 in the RAM 103. Details will be described later.

  The ROM 102 stores various information. For example, the ROM 102 stores a program executed by the CPU 101, a device number of the own device (device identification information), and the like.

  The RAM 103 temporarily stores various information. For example, the RAM 103 temporarily stores a program read from the ROM 102 and information acquired or generated by execution of the program (for example, various determination results, registration information, and read information). Note that the RAM 103 may temporarily store a product file.

  The scanner unit 104 optically reads a barcode attached to a product and acquires a product code of the product (acquires the product code that has been encoded by reverse conversion). The scanner unit 104 notifies the CPU 101 of the acquired product code. In addition, the scanner unit 104 optically reads a barcode attached to a name tag or the like of a store clerk, and acquires person-in-charge identification information (for example, a person-in-charge code or a person-in-charge name) that identifies the store clerk. The scanner unit 104 notifies the CPU 101 of the acquired person-in-charge identification information.

  The salesclerk display unit 105 is, for example, a liquid crystal touch display device that displays information to the salesclerk. The store clerk display unit 105 may display various GUI operation buttons having the same functions as the operation buttons (described later) provided in the store clerk operation unit 108 instead of the store clerk operation unit 108. The store clerk display unit 105 may display a preset button for registering a predetermined product (for example, fresh food). When a store clerk operates on the store clerk display unit 105, an operation signal is notified to the CPU 101.

  The customer display unit 106 is, for example, a liquid crystal display device that displays information to the customer. The customer display unit 106 may be a liquid crystal touch display device like the store clerk display unit 105. For example, the customer display unit 106 accepts an operation for a message (for example, confirmation of the amount of a utility bill). When a customer operation is performed on the customer display unit 106, an operation signal is notified to the CPU 101.

  The hard disk 107 stores various information. For example, the hard disk 107 stores a product file transmitted from the store controller 30 and received by the communication unit 109. Note that the hard disk 107 may store the above-described program instead of the ROM 102.

  The salesclerk operation unit 108 includes various operation buttons (operation keys). For example, the clerk operation unit 108 includes a numeric button (numeric key), a subtotal button (subtotal key), a settlement device designation button (settlement device designation key), a bill issuing button (billing ticket issuance key), a confirmation button ( (Confirmation key), Cancel button (Cancel key), etc. Further, the store clerk operation unit 108 may include the above-described preset button (preset key). In the clerk operation unit 108, when a clerk operates, an operation signal is notified to the CPU 101.

  The communication unit 109 is a communication interface for communicating with other devices via the LAN 40. The buzzer 110 is a sound generating unit for generating a confirmation sound, a warning sound, and the like. The printing unit 111 prints and issues a medium such as a bill.

  The CPU 101 controls the display content according to the operation content and the progress of processing. In this embodiment, for example, the CPU 101 displays a registration screen (see FIG. 3) when trying to register a product, and displays a small plan surface (see FIG. 4) when trying to complete the registration of the product. Control. The details of the registration screen in FIG. 3 and the small plan surface in FIG. 4 will be described later.

  When the CPU 101 acquires the product code via the scanner unit 104 (when the barcode attached to the product is read by the scanner unit 104), the CPU 101 refers to the product file stored in the hard disk 107 and stores the purchased product code. The product name and sales price are specified, and the product name, sales price, and number of purchases of each purchased product are temporarily stored in the RAM 103. That is, the registration process is executed. The same applies when the preset button is pressed (touched).

  When the CPU 101 acquires person-in-charge identification information via the scanner unit 104 (when a barcode attached to a name tag or the like is read by the scanner unit 104), the CPU 101 temporarily stores the person-in-charge identification information in the RAM 103.

  The CPU 101 generates registration information (transaction information). For example, the CPU 101 is based on information temporarily stored in the RAM 103 or information stored in the ROM 102 after the declaration (for example, after pressing the checkout device designation button or after pressing the bill issuing button). To generate registration information (transaction number and detailed information).

  Hereinafter, the generation of registration information and the subsequent processing by the CPU 101 will be described separately for the case where the settlement apparatus 20 is designated and the case where an accounting ticket is issued.

(When the checkout device 20 is specified)
When the CPU 101 receives an operation signal indicating that the settlement apparatus designation button has been pressed, it generates registration information as described above. The CPU 101 that generated the registration information controls the communication unit 109 to transmit the registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 designated by the settlement apparatus designation button. As described above, the CPU 101 may transmit registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 via the store controller 30 or may directly transmit registration information to the settlement apparatus 20. Further, the CPU 101 may transmit the registration information to the store controller 30 in addition to the payment apparatus 20 even when the registration information is directly transmitted to the payment apparatus 20. Further, the CPU 101 may temporarily store registration information in the RAM 103 in addition to transmission to other devices (the settlement apparatus 20 and the store controller 30).

  Further, the CPU 101 that generated the registration information may transmit the transaction number included in the registration information to the settlement apparatus 20 instead of the entire registration information. As described above, the CPU 101 may transmit the transaction number to the settlement apparatus 20 via the store controller 30 or may directly transmit the transaction number to the settlement apparatus 20. Further, the CPU 101 may transmit registration information (transaction number and detailed information) to the store controller 30 in addition to the transaction number to the settlement apparatus 20. Further, the CPU 101 may temporarily store registration information (transaction number and detailed information) in the RAM 103 in addition to transmission to other devices (the settlement device 20 and the store controller 30). When the registration information is requested from the settlement apparatus 20 that is the transmission destination of the transaction number, the CPU 101 sends the registration information corresponding to the request (registration information of the transaction number included in the request) to the settlement apparatus 20. What is necessary is just to respond (send).

(If there is an input for issuing a bill)
When the CPU 101 receives an operation signal indicating that the bill issuing button has been pressed, the CPU 101 generates registration information as described above. The CPU 101 that generated the registration information temporarily stores the generated registration information in the RAM 103. In addition, the CPU 101 controls the printing unit 111 to issue an accounting ticket printed with a one-dimensional barcode obtained by converting the transaction number included in the registration information into a one-dimensional barcode. Note that the one-dimensional barcode on the bill is read by the checkout device 20. Further, when the registration information is requested from the settlement apparatus 20 that has read the bill, the CPU 101 responds to the settlement apparatus 20 with registration information corresponding to the request (registration information of the transaction number included in the request). (Send).

  In addition, the CPU 101 that generated the registration information controls the printing unit 111, not the bill that printed the one-dimensional barcode, and converted the entire registration information into a two-dimensional code (for example, a QR code (registered trademark)). An accounting ticket printed with a two-dimensional code may be issued. The two-dimensional code on the bill is read by the checkout device 20.

  In addition to the above, the CPU 101 can execute various controls according to the operation content and the progress of processing in the present embodiment.

  For example, the CPU 101 controls to prohibit registration of merchandise between a specific operation (depressing a subtotal key) and a predetermined declaration (designation of the checkout device 20 and issuance of a bill). May do. Alternatively, the CPU 101 outputs a warning about the registration of the product after a specific operation (depressing the subtotal key) until a predetermined declaration (designation of the checkout device 20 or issuance of a bill) is performed. (Displayed on the clerk display unit 105). That is, while the small plan surface is displayed, it is attached to a certain product before the settlement device 20 is designated (the settlement device designation button is pressed) or the bill is issued (the bill issuance button is pushed). When the barcode is read by the scanner unit 104 or when a preset of a certain product is pressed, the CPU 101 may output a control for prohibiting the registration or a warning about the registration.

  For example, the CPU 101 displays a confirmation screen for confirming registration refusal as a warning when there is an operation for registering a product between the time when the small plan surface is displayed and the time when the declaration is made. As an example, in the above case, the CPU 101 displays a confirmation screen (see FIGS. 5A and 5B) that can specify whether or not to permit registration. The details of the confirmation screens in FIGS. 5A and 5B will be described later.

  In addition, when there is an input (designation) for permitting registration on the confirmation screen in which registration permission can be specified, the CPU 101 registers the product. For example, when “Register product” is selected on the confirmation screen of FIG. 5A or when “Yes” is selected on the confirmation screen of FIG. 5B, the product is registered. .

  On the other hand, when there is an input (designation) indicating that registration is not permitted on the confirmation screen that allows designation of whether or not to permit registration, the CPU 101 displays information that can be declared. For example, when “No product registration” is selected on the confirmation screen of FIG. 5A or when “No” is selected on the confirmation screen of FIG. A settlement apparatus designation screen (see FIG. 5C) on which buttons for designating 20 are arranged is displayed. The details of the payment apparatus designation screen in FIG. 5C will be described later.

  3 to 5 are display examples of the registration apparatus 10. FIG. 3 is an example of a registration screen. FIG. 4A is an example of a small plan surface. FIG. 4B is a confirmation screen (also referred to as a transmission confirmation screen) for confirming transmission. FIG. 5A is an example of a confirmation screen that can specify whether or not to register a product. FIG. 5B is another example of a confirmation screen that can specify whether or not to register a product. FIG. 5C shows an example of a payment apparatus designation screen.

  The registration screen illustrated in FIG. 3 is a screen displayed when registering a product. The upper left of the screen is an area for displaying the product name and the sales price of the product registered now (last). In the registration screen illustrated in FIG. 3, the product name “egg (M)” and the local tax sale “¥ 180” are displayed. The lower left (center left) of the screen is an area for displaying one column for the product registered for the customer (one transaction). In the registration screen illustrated in FIG. 3, canned beer, asparagus, and eggs (M) are displayed together with their sales prices. The upper right of the screen is an area for displaying the total up to the current registration for the customer. In the registration screen illustrated in FIG. 3, “3” is displayed as the total purchase score, and “¥ 563” is displayed as the total purchase amount. The lower right (right center) of the screen is an area for arranging preset buttons. In the registration screen illustrated in FIG. 3, preset buttons “cucumber”, “carrot”, and the like in the tab “vegetable” are arranged. Although the subtotal button corresponding to the subtotal key of the clerk operation unit 108 is not arranged on the registration screen illustrated in FIG. 3, the subtotal button corresponding to the subtotal key may be arranged on the registration screen.

  The small plan surface illustrated in FIG. 4A is a screen displayed when trying to complete registration of a product for the customer (one transaction). For example, the small plan surface is displayed when a subtotal key is pressed while the registration screen is displayed. The left side of the screen is an area for displaying one column for the product registered for the customer (one transaction). In the small plan surface illustrated in FIG. 4A, canned beer, asparagus, and eggs (M) are displayed together with their selling prices. The right side of the screen is an area for displaying the total number of customers. On the small plan surface illustrated in FIG. 4A, “3” is displayed as the total purchase score, and “¥ 563” is displayed as the total purchase amount.

  Reference symbols A to C at the bottom of the screen are settlement device designation buttons. Note that “102 cash register”, “103 cash register”, and “104 cash register” are names assigned to any of the settlement apparatuses 20 belonging to the POS system 1, respectively. For example, “102 cash register” corresponds to the settlement device 20-1, “103 cash register” corresponds to the cash settlement device 20-2, and “104 cash register” corresponds to the cash settlement device 20-3. When the clerk wants to execute the settlement process for the transaction at “102 cash register”, he / she presses the settlement apparatus designation button “102 cash register” to execute the settlement process for the transaction at “103 cash register”. The settlement apparatus designation button “104 cash register” is pressed when the settlement apparatus designation button “103 cash register” is to be executed. That is, the settlement apparatus 20 for executing the settlement process is designated by the settlement apparatus designation button. In the case where the clerk operation unit 108 is provided with a settlement apparatus designation key, the settlement apparatus 20 for executing the settlement process may be designated by the settlement apparatus designation key.

  A symbol D at the bottom of the screen is a bill issuing button. The clerk presses the bill issuing button when the settlement processing of the transaction is to be executed by the settlement device 20 that has read the bill. That is, the bill is issued by the bill issuing button. In the case where the salesclerk operation unit 108 is provided with a bill issuing key, the bill may be issued with the bill issuing key.

  In the small plan screen illustrated in FIG. 4A, the checkout device designation button (symbol A to C) and the bill issuing button (symbol D) are displayed in the column where the product name of the purchased product on the small plan surface is displayed. The number of purchases and the total amount are arranged adjacent to a column (a column for displaying information on purchased products). In this way, since the settlement device designation button and the bill issuing button are displayed adjacent to the column for displaying information on the purchased product, the store clerk can press the settlement device designation button or the bill issuing button. It is possible to prevent the user from registering the next customer's product without pressing them. In FIG. 4A, an example is shown in which the product name of the purchased product is displayed adjacent to the column for displaying the total price, and the product name of the purchased product is displayed. May be adjacent to at least one of a field for displaying the purchase price, a field for displaying the purchase points, and a field for displaying the total amount. In other words, the checkout device designation button and the bill issuance button are adjacent to one or more of the columns for displaying information on the purchased product that the store clerk pays attention to, such as the product name, points, and total price. It is possible to urge the store clerk to press the checkout device designation button or the bill issuing button.

  A symbol E at the bottom of the screen is a registration screen button. The clerk presses a registration screen button when registering a product as the transaction. For example, when registering the product X as a product purchased by the customer A while displaying the small plan surface for the customer A, the store clerk once depresses the registration screen button to return from the small plan surface to the registration screen. . That is, when the registration screen button is pressed, a registration screen is displayed. If a key corresponding to a registration screen button (registration screen key) exists as the clerk operation unit 108, the registration screen may be displayed by pressing the registration screen key.

  The transmission confirmation screen shown in FIG. 4B is a screen that is displayed when registration information or the like is transmitted to the designated settlement apparatus 20. For example, after the settlement device designation button “102 cash register” is pressed on the small plan surface illustrated in FIG. 4A, the registration information is transmitted to “102 cash register” and the registration information is normally received from “102 cash register”. When a response to that effect is received, the transmission confirmation screen shown in FIG. 4B is displayed.

  The confirmation screen shown in FIG. 5A is displayed when an attempt is made to register a product on a small plan surface, specifically, for example, when a product is scanned by the scanner unit 104 when the small plan surface is displayed. It is a screen to be. For example, when the product X is scanned while the small plan surface for the customer A is displayed, the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 5A is displayed. In the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 5A, the button “Register product” permits registration (addition) of the product (the product scanned when the small plan surface is displayed) as the transaction. The button “No product registration” is a button indicating that registration of the product is not permitted as the transaction. In other words, when the button “Register product” is pressed, the product is registered as the transaction, but when the button “Do not register product” is pressed, the product is registered as the transaction. Is not registered. Therefore, when the product X is scanned while the small plan surface is displayed for the customer A and the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 5A is displayed, the store clerk determines whether or not the product X belongs to the customer A. When the product X is for customer A, the button “Register product” is pressed, and when product X is not for customer A (for example, when customer A is for customer B next to customer A). Just press the button "Product registration is not done."

  Note that the confirmation screen of FIG. 5B may be displayed instead of the confirmation screen of FIG. For example, when the product X is scanned while the small plan surface is displayed for the customer A and the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 5B is displayed, the store clerk determines whether or not the product X belongs to the customer A. When the product X is for the customer A, the button “Yes” is pressed, and when the product X is not for the customer A, the button “No” is pressed.

  The checkout device designation screen shown in FIG. 5 (c) is a screen that is displayed when there is an input (designation) indicating that registration of the product is not permitted as the transaction on the confirmation screen that can designate whether or not registration is permitted. is there. That is, when the button “No product registration” is pressed on the confirmation screen of FIG. 5A, or when the button “No.” is pressed on the confirmation screen of FIG. The settlement apparatus designation screen shown in (c) is displayed. In the settlement apparatus designation screen shown in FIG. 5C, the settlement apparatus designation button “102 cash register”, the settlement apparatus designation button “103 cash register”, the settlement, as in the lower part of the small plan screen shown in FIG. A device designation button “104 cash register” is arranged. That is, when the product X is scanned while the small plan surface is displayed for the customer A, the confirmation screens of FIGS. 5A and 5B are displayed, but the clerk does not have the product X of the customer A. If it is determined that the registration is not permitted, an input indicating that registration is not permitted (the button “Product registration is not performed” or the button “No.” is pressed) is performed), and the customer A is displayed on the checkout device designation screen shown in FIG. It is possible to specify the settlement apparatus 20 that performs the settlement process for the transaction.

  Note that the operating status (operating status) of each settlement apparatus 20 is displayed on each button of the settlement apparatus designation screen shown in FIG. For example, the settlement device designation button “102 cash register” indicates that the device is waiting, and the settlement device designation button “103 cash register” and the settlement device designation button “104 cash register” indicate that the payment device is offline. . Note that the registration device 10 may determine the operating status of each settlement apparatus based on, for example, notification from each settlement apparatus 20 or communication status with each settlement apparatus 20. The same applies to the settlement apparatus designation button “102 cash register” and the like arranged on the small plan plane shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation flow of the registration apparatus 10. Specifically, the flowchart of FIG. 6 is a flowchart from the start of registering a product for a certain customer until the settlement device 20 is designated. At the start of the flowchart of FIG. 6, it is assumed that a registration screen in which no product is registered is displayed on the display unit 105 for clerk. In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the processing related to the bill is omitted.

Step S10: On the registration screen, it is determined whether the product is scanned by the scanner unit 104 or the product is selected by a preset button (or preset key). If the product is scanned (or selected), the process proceeds to step S12. If the product has not been scanned (or selected), the process proceeds to step S14.
Step S12: Register the product.
Step S14: It is determined whether or not the subtotal key (or subtotal button) has been pressed. If the subtotal key is pressed, the process proceeds to step S20. If the subtotal key has not been pressed, the process returns to step S10.

Step S20: A small plan surface is displayed instead of the registration screen.
Step S22: It is determined whether or not the registration screen button (or registration screen key) is pressed on the small plan surface. If the registration screen button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S24. If the registration screen button has not been pressed, the process proceeds to step S26.
Step S24: A registration screen is displayed instead of the small plan surface. Then, it returns to step S10.

Step S26: In the lower part of the small plan plane (or in the case of executing the step S26 following the step S36, the settlement apparatus designation screen), whether or not the settlement apparatus 20 is designated, that is, the settlement apparatus designation button (or It is determined whether or not the “settlement device designation key” has been pressed. If the settlement apparatus 20 is designated, the process proceeds to step S40. If the settlement apparatus 20 is not designated, the process proceeds to step S28. When step S26 is executed subsequent to step S36, the settlement apparatus designation screen displayed in step S36 is deleted after pressing any settlement apparatus designation button.

Step S28: On the small plan surface, it is determined whether or not the product is scanned by the scanner unit 104 or the product is selected by the preset key. If the product is scanned (or selected), the process proceeds to step S30. If the product has not been scanned (or selected), the process returns to step S22.

Step S30: A confirmation screen for confirming registration refusal is displayed. For example, a confirmation screen on which registration permission can be specified is displayed superimposed on the small plan surface.
Step S32: It is determined whether there is an input (designation) for permitting registration or an input (designation) for disallowing registration on the confirmation screen that can designate whether or not to permit registration. If there is an input (designation) to permit registration, the process proceeds to step S34. For example, when the confirmation screen of FIG. 5A is displayed in step S30, the button “Register product” is pressed or when the confirmation screen of FIG. 5B is displayed in step S30. If "Yes" is pressed, the process proceeds to step S34. On the other hand, if there is an input (designation) not permitting registration, the process proceeds to step S36. For example, when the confirmation screen of FIG. 5A is displayed in step S30, the button “No product registration” is pressed, or when the confirmation screen of FIG. 5B is displayed in step S30. If "No" is pressed, the process proceeds to step S36. The confirmation screen displayed in step S30 is deleted after any button is pressed.

Step S34: Register the product scanned (or selected) in Step S28. That is, in the same manner as the products scanned (or selected) while the registration screen is displayed (step S10, step S12), the products scanned (or selected) while the small plan surface is displayed are registered ( Step S28, Step S34). Thereafter, the process returns to step S22.

Step S36: A settlement apparatus designation screen is displayed. For example, the settlement apparatus designation screen shown in FIG. Thereafter, the process returns to step S26. That is, when there is an input (designation) not permitting registration (step S32: No), the product scanned (or selected) during display of the small plan surface is not registered.

Step S40: Generate registration information and send it to the specified settlement apparatus 20.
Step S42: A transmission confirmation screen is displayed. For example, the transmission confirmation screen shown in FIG.
Step S44: A registration screen is displayed. Then, this flowchart ends.

  The transmission confirmation screen displayed in step S42 is displayed when any region on the transmission confirmation screen is touched, when a predetermined time has elapsed after the transmission confirmation screen is displayed, or in step S44. The registration screen may be deleted when the registration screen is displayed. The registration screen displayed in step S44 may be displayed when the transmission confirmation screen displayed in step S42 is deleted.

  As mentioned above, according to the POS system 1 by one Embodiment of this invention, it can prevent that a customer's goods are registered accidentally. If a product is scanned (or selected) while the small plan surface is displayed, and if input (designation) that does not permit registration of the product is made after that, the product is registered Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the next customer's product from being registered by mistake.

  In addition, although the button which designates the adjustment apparatus 20 is arrange | positioned in the adjustment apparatus designation | designated screen of FIG.5 (c), in addition to the button which designates the adjustment apparatus 20, it scans during the display of the said goods (small plan surface). (Or a product for which a product has been selected) may be displayed not registered. Further, on the settlement apparatus designation screen, an input indicating that the settlement apparatus 20 is not designated may be accepted. For example, when the cross mark at the upper right corner of the settlement apparatus designation screen in FIG. 5C is pressed, the process may be continued without designating the settlement apparatus 20 (for example, in the flowchart of FIG. 6). You may make it return to step S26 (namely, step S28).

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the input (designation) which does not permit registration is performed about the goods scanned (or goods selected) during the display of a small plan surface, the adjustment which performs the adjustment process of the said transaction is performed. Although the example which displays the screen (For example, the adjustment apparatus designation | designated screen of FIG.5 (c)) which has arrange | positioned the button which designates the apparatus 20 was demonstrated (for example, step S36 of FIG. 6), it replaces with the above and an accounting ticket You may display the screen which has arrange | positioned the button which issues No., and the screen which arrange | positions the button which designates the payment apparatus 20 and the button which issues an accounting ticket may be displayed. In addition, a message that prompts the store clerk to press the above-described button may be displayed on the settlement apparatus designation screen. That is, a display prompting a declaration may be made on the settlement apparatus designation screen.

  For example, when the confirmation screen of FIG. 5A is displayed, the button “No product registration” is pressed, or when the confirmation screen of FIG. 5B is displayed, the button “No” is displayed. When there is an input (designation) indicating that registration is not permitted, such as when the button is pressed, a settlement apparatus designation screen (a settlement apparatus designation screen in FIG. 5C) on which a settlement apparatus designation button is arranged, It has been explained that the settlement device designation screen with the ticket issuing button arranged, and the settlement device designation screen for accepting the input that the settlement device 20 is not designated (X in the upper right corner) are displayed. The operation (control) when there is an input (designation) to not be performed is not limited to the above. For example, when there is an input (designation) not permitting registration as described above, the screen returns to the small plan surface of FIG. 4A without displaying the settlement apparatus designation screen as described above. On the small plan side, a message that prompts the store clerk to press any button of the checkout device designation button (symbol A to C) or the bill issuing button (symbol D) may be displayed. That is, a display prompting declaration on the small plan surface may be displayed. As a result, the store clerk can quickly press any one of the symbols A to D.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the input (designation) which does not permit registration is performed about the goods scanned (or goods selected) during the display of a small plan surface, the adjustment which performs the adjustment process of the said transaction is performed. Although the example which displays the screen (For example, the adjustment apparatus designation | designated screen of FIG.5 (c)) which arranged the button which designates the apparatus 20 was demonstrated (for example, step S36 of the flowchart of FIG. 6), the said screen is displayed in the above case. It does not have to be displayed. That is, when an input (designation) not permitting registration is performed (in the case of step S32 (No) in the flowchart of FIG. 6), the process may simply return to step S26 (that is, step S28). Good.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a confirmation screen that can specify whether to permit registration is displayed when a product scan or the like is performed while the small plan surface is being displayed has been described. The settlement apparatus designation screen as shown in FIG. 5 (c) may be displayed without displaying the confirmation screen that can designate. That is, if there is a product scan or the like while the small plan surface is being displayed (in the case of step S28 (Yes) in the flowchart of FIG. 6), the process may proceed to step S36 without allowing the store clerk to confirm whether the registration is permitted. . Alternatively, when there is a product scan or the like while the small plan surface is being displayed, the process returns to step S26 (i.e., step S28) without displaying a confirmation screen for specifying whether to permit registration or a settlement apparatus designation screen. You may do it. That is, registration of the product may be simply prohibited. As described above, when simply prohibiting registration of a product, a confirmation screen that does not require designation of whether or not to register (a screen that simply indicates that registration of the product has been prohibited. You may display what is erased later.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the input (designation) which does not permit registration is performed about the goods scanned (or goods are selected) while the small plan surface of a certain customer A is displayed, the purchase of the said customer A is purchased. Although it has been described that the product is not registered as a product, the product may be registered as a purchased product of another customer B (for example, customer B following customer A).

  For example, when a product is scanned (or a product is selected) while the small plan surface of customer A is displayed, the transaction is replaced with the confirmation screen in FIG. 5A (or the confirmation screen in FIG. 5B). A button for registering the product as a product of the customer (a button for registering as the product of customer A in the above example) and a button for registering the product as the product of the next transaction of the transaction (customer B in the example above) If you press the button to register the product as the product of the next transaction of the transaction, the confirmation screen is displayed as the product of the next transaction of the transaction. The product may be registered. For example, when a button for registering the product as the product of the next transaction of the transaction is pressed, the registration information of the product is stored as the registration information of the next transaction of the transaction, and the first product of the next transaction The registered information stored when is scanned (or selected) may be added to the next transaction. For example, when the product X is scanned (or the product is selected) while the small plan surface of the customer A is displayed, the confirmation screen as described above is displayed, and the product X is displayed as the product of the next transaction of the customer A transaction. When the registration button is pressed, the registration information of the product X is stored as the registration information of the next transaction of the customer A, and the first product Y of the customer B next to the customer A is scanned (or When the product is selected), the stored registration information of the product X may be added to the transaction of the customer B.

  Note that the product is registered as the product of the transaction, not the screen where the button for registering the product as the product for the transaction and the button for registering the product as the product for the next transaction of the transaction are arranged. A button to register, a button to register the product as the product of the next transaction of the transaction, and a button to not register the product (not registered as the product of customer A or the product of customer B in the above example) And a button on the screen may be displayed.

Further, for example, an input indicating that registration is not permitted on the confirmation screen in FIG. 5A (or the confirmation screen in FIG. 5B) when the product is scanned (or selected) while the small plan surface is displayed. If there is a button, a button for registering the product as a product for the next transaction of the transaction (a button for registering as the product of customer B in the above example) and a button for not registering the product (the example above) May be displayed with a button indicating that the product is not registered as customer B's product.

  Moreover, although the registration apparatus 10 demonstrated the aspect which displays a small plan surface separately from a registration screen in the said embodiment, the registration apparatus 10 is a registration screen (for example, the adjustment apparatus shown to Fig.4 (a) which also has a small plan surface) You may make it display the registration screen which has arrange | positioned the designation | designated button, the bill issuing button, etc.). Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a registration screen in a mode in which a small plan plane is displayed separately from the registration screen is distinguished from the registration screen T1, and a registration screen also having a small plan plane is distinguished from the registration screen T2. In the case of a mode in which the registration screen T2 is displayed, a small plan surface is not necessary.

  In the mode of displaying the registration screen T1, as described above, the registration device 10 may, on the small plan, scan the product before the settlement device designation button or the bill issuing button is pressed. In the form in which the registration of the product is prohibited or a warning is output about the registration of the product, but the registration screen T2 is displayed, the registration device 10 displays the checkout device designation button or the bill on the registration screen T2. If a product is scanned before the issue button is pressed, registration of the product may be prohibited, or a warning may be output regarding registration of the product.

  That is, the registration device 10 declares the registration information of the purchased product so that it can be read out by the settlement device (the settlement device designation button or the bill issuing button), and until the declaration by the declaration device is performed. And a control means for prohibiting registration of the product or outputting a warning about the registration of the product.

  In the registration screen T2, the checkout device designation button and the bill issuing button may be pressed unconditionally at any time, or may be pressed under specific conditions.

It may be possible. Specifically, the registration screen T2 may include a button (hereinafter referred to as “button F”) for allowing the user to press the settlement apparatus designation button or the bill issuing button. That is, the button F must be pressed before the checkout device designation button or the bill issuing button is pressed.

  Alternatively, when the button F is pressed on the registration screen T2 without arranging the settlement device designation button or the bill issuing button on the registration screen T2 on which the button F is arranged, the settlement device designation button or bill issuing is issued. A screen on which buttons are arranged (a screen as shown in FIG. 5C) may be displayed superimposed on the registration screen T2. Note that on the screen on which the settlement apparatus designation button and the bill issuing button are arranged, the settlement apparatus designation button and the bill issuing button can be pressed unconditionally at any time. If the settlement device designation button or the bill issuing button is pressed after the button F is pressed, the transaction ends.

  That is, the registration device 10 declares the product registration information to be read by the checkout device 20 (a checkout device designation button or a bill issuing button) and a specific operation that allows the declaration means to declare ( For example, a specific operation means for executing a subtotal button (subtotal key press or button F press) and a period from when the specific operation is performed until a declaration is made (the checkout device designation button or bill issuing button is pressed) And a control means for prohibiting registration of the product in a possible state) or outputting a warning about registration of the product.
