  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of a sales data processing device 1 and a font built-in memory 2 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The sales data processing apparatus 1 is installed in a store such as a retail store or a restaurant, and registers sales data (including the contents of a commercial transaction) in a commercial transaction. Here, the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described assuming electronic cash registers (ECR). On the other hand, the font built-in memory 2 is detachable from the sales data processing apparatus 1 and is used to change the font and form of a receipt printed by the sales data processing apparatus 1. Hereinafter, the configuration of each apparatus will be described.

<Configuration of Sales Data Processing Device According to First Embodiment>
The sales data processing apparatus 1 includes a keyboard 11, an operator display 12, a customer display 13, a printer 14, a cash drawer 15, a mode change switch 16, a slot 17, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 23 is provided. Each component is connected to be communicable with each other via an internal bus and input / output circuits (not shown).

  The keyboard 11 is composed of a plurality of buttons for operating the sales data processing apparatus 1. The keyboard 11 includes, for example, a number key for inputting numbers, a PLU (Price Lookup) key for registering individual products, a subtotal key for displaying the total amount of registered products, and completion of registration And a settlement key for performing settlement, a receipt issuance key for issuing a receipt, a receipt issuing key for issuing a receipt, and the like.

  The operator display 12 and the customer display 13 are, for example, liquid crystal display devices. The operator display 12 displays the name, price, quantity, etc. of the registered product to the operator. On the other hand, the customer display 13 displays the amount, quantity, etc. of the registered product to the customer.

  The printer 14 is, for example, a thermal transfer printer, and issues a receipt or journal in which sales data (product name, amount, etc.) in a commercial transaction is printed on a receipt sheet or journal sheet. The printer 14 may be configured separately for each print object, such as a device that issues a receipt and a device that issues a journal. The printer 14 may be a device that issues only receipts.

  The cash drawer 15 is a drawer that stores banknotes, money, cash vouchers, etc. that are handled at the time of accounting for goods. The cash drawer 15 is opened by sliding to the operator side (front side) by the operation of the keyboard 11 by the operator.

  The mode changeover switch 16 changes the mode of the sales data processing apparatus 1. Here, the sales data processing apparatus 1 has, for example, a registration mode for registering a product in a commercial transaction, a calculator mode for performing calculator calculation, a setting mode for setting, a power-off mode for ending use, and the like.

  The slot 17 physically connects the sales data processing device 1 and the font built-in memory 2. The slot 17 may be, for example, a gap-like hole for inserting the font built-in memory 2. When the font built-in memory 2 is not attached, the slot 17 is preferably covered with a cover.

The CPU 21 is a central control device and controls the sales data processing device 1 as a whole. For example, the CPU 21 controls various operations such as merchandise registration processing, accounting processing, display processing on the displays 12 and 13, and receipt printing processing.
The ROM 22 is a non-volatile storage unit that can be read, and stores a control program executed by the CPU 21.
The RAM 23 is a volatile storage means that can be written and read, and is a temporary storage means used by the CPU 21.

<Configuration of Font Built-in Memory According to First Embodiment>
The font built-in memory 2 includes a connection terminal 31, a controller 32, and a flash memory chip 33. Each component is connected to be communicable with each other via an internal bus and each input / output circuit (not shown).

  The connection terminal 31 is for physically connecting the font built-in memory 2 to another device (sales data processing device 1 in this case). The connection terminal 31 has a shape corresponding to the slot 17, and here has a shape that fits into a gap-like hole. When the sales data processing apparatus 1 is not mounted, the connection terminal 31 is preferably covered with a cover.

  The controller 32 is a semiconductor component that controls the font built-in memory 2. Data transfer between the font built-in memory 2 and another device (the sales data processing device 1 here) connected to the font built-in memory 2 is performed under the control of the controller 32 in accordance with a predetermined specification. This specification is not particularly limited. In other words, it may be an existing specification or a newly created specification different from the existing specification.

  The flash memory chip 33 is a non-volatile storage means that can be read, and is read by the CPU 21. The information stored in the flash memory chip 33 cannot be stored in the sales data processing apparatus 1 and can be used only when the font built-in memory 2 is connected to the sales data processing apparatus 1. it can.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing functions of the sales data processing apparatus 1 and the font built-in memory 2 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The CPU 21 of the sales data processing apparatus 1 includes an input acquisition unit 41, a sales information registration unit 42, and an output control unit 43 by executing a program (not shown) stored in the ROM 22.

  The input acquisition unit 41 receives an input operation using the keyboard 11 and acquires various types of input information. For example, when registering a product, an input operation of product registration using the keyboard 11 by an operator is accepted. In addition, when performing the accounting process, an amount input operation using the keyboard 11 by the operator is accepted.

  The sales information registration unit 42 registers the transaction details data 23 a in the RAM 23 using the input information acquired by the input acquisition unit 41. When product content data (not shown) including information such as product name and unit price is stored in the RAM 23, the sales information registration unit 42 registers the transaction details data 23a using the product content data. May be.

The output control unit 43 controls display processing on the operator display 12 and customer display 13 and receipt printing processing. The output control unit 43 includes a display control unit 44 and a print control unit 45.
The display control unit 44 displays the input information acquired by the input acquisition unit 41 and the transaction details data 23 a on the operator display 12 and the customer display 13.

  The print control unit 45 uses the printer 14 to print the transaction details data 23a on the receipt paper. Here, the ROM 22 stores standard font data 22a and standard form data 22b used for printing a receipt. The standard font data 22a is information about a receipt font set at the time of shipment. The standard form data 22b is information on a receipt form set at the time of shipment. The print control unit 45 prints a receipt using the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b stored in the ROM 22 in a state where the font built-in memory 2 is not connected.

  On the other hand, the flash memory chip 33 in the font built-in memory 2 stores special font data 33a and special form data 33b used for printing on receipt paper as a combination. The print controller 45 prints on receipt paper using the special font data 33a and special form data 33b stored in the flash memory chip 33 in a state where the font built-in memory 2 is connected.

  The special font data 33a is font data (font data different from the standard font data 22a) that is not stored in advance in the sales data processing apparatus 1. For example, when the standard font data 22a is “楷 typeface”, the special font data 33a may be “line typeface”, “round character typeface”, “script typeface”, or the like. The round font is assumed to be a font handwritten by a human. The special form data 33b is form data (form data different from the standard form data 22b) that is not stored in advance in the sales data processing apparatus 1. For example, when the standard form data 22b is “horizontal writing without ruled lines”, the special form data 33b may be “horizontal writing with ruled lines”, “horizontal writing of double characters”, “vertical writing”, or the like.

  Here, the combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b should take into account the ease of viewing the receipt. For example, in Mincho, the character lines are narrower than other fonts, so if the character size is small, the receipt will be difficult to see. Therefore, when the special font is a font with thin character lines such as Mincho, it is preferable to combine a special form (for example, a double character) with a large character size.

  Moreover, the combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b can produce the atmosphere of the store in which it is installed, or can represent the contents of work performed at the store. For example, by combining a line font as a special font and a vertical writing form as a special form, it is possible to produce a pure Japanese atmosphere or represent a Japanese restaurant. In addition, by combining a round font as a special font and a special form with ruled lines, a handwritten slip style can be produced or a concept cafe can be represented.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the combination of special font data 33a and special form data 33b will be specifically described. FIG. 3 is an example of a combination of special font data 33a and special form data 33b.

  In FIG. 3A, a special form is associated with a special font “one-to-one”. Specifically, a special form “Form A (double letter)” is associated with the special font “Mincho”. A special form “form B (vertical writing)” is associated with the special font “line typeface”. In addition, a special form “form C (add ruled line)” is associated with the special font “circle character typeface”. Also, a special form “form D (addition of ruled lines)” is associated with the special font “cursive”.

  Receipts printed using the combination of the special font and special form shown in FIG. 3A are illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 (the receipt printed using the standard font and standard form is also described as a comparative example).

FIG. 4A shows an example of a receipt printed using a standard font and a standard form.
FIG. 4B is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of a special font “Mincho” and a special form “Form A (double letter)”.
FIG. 4C shows an example of a receipt printed using a combination of a special font “line typeface” and a special form “form B (vertical writing)”.
FIG. 5A is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of a special font “Round font” and a special form “Form C (addition of ruled lines)”.
FIG. 5B is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of a special font “cursive” and a special form “form D (addition of ruled lines)”.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b will be described. In FIG. 3B, special fonts and special forms are associated with categories. Here, the category may be, for example, an impression when a receipt is printed using a combination of special fonts and special forms, and serves as a reference when selecting a combination of special fonts and special forms. Is good. Here, the category “pure Japanese style” is associated with the combination of the special font “line typeface” and the special form “form B (vertical writing)”. Further, the category “handwriting style” is associated with the combination of the special font “circle character typeface” and the special form “form C (addition of ruled lines)”. The category “elegant style” is associated with the combination of the special font “cursive” and the special form “form D (addition of ruled lines)”. In this case, the operator can more easily select a special font and a special form that match the atmosphere of the store by selecting a category.

  In FIG. 3C, special fonts and special forms are associated with business types. Here, for example, the type of business may classify a store where the sales data processing apparatus 1 is installed, and may be a reference when selecting a combination of a special font and a special form. Here, the business category “Japanese restaurant” is associated with the combination of the special font “line typeface” and the special form “form B (vertical writing)”. In addition, the business category “concept cafe” is associated with a combination of the special font “circle character typeface” and the special form “form C (addition of ruled lines)”. The business category “Italian restaurant” is associated with the combination of the special font “cursive” and the special form “form D (addition of ruled lines)”. In this case, the operator can more easily select a special font and a special form that match the contents of the business performed at the store by selecting the type of business.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the font built-in memory 2 will be continued. As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 32 of the font built-in memory 2 includes a memory chip control unit 51. The memory chip control unit 51 controls data transfer between the font built-in memory 2 and the sales data processing device 1.

<Operation of Sales Data Processing Device According to First Embodiment>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a process when the font built-in memory 2 is connected to the sales data processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The sales data processing apparatus 1 starts a series of processes shown in FIG. 6 when the mode is switched to the “setting mode” by the operation of the mode switch 16 (see FIG. 1) by the operator. Here, when the operator wants to change the font and form of the receipt, the font data memory 2 is preinstalled in the sales data processing apparatus 1 in the “power OFF mode” state.

  First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the font built-in memory 2 is attached to the sales data processing apparatus 1 (step S1). When the font built-in memory 2 is not attached (“No” in step S1), the CPU 21 determines the standard font and standard form built in the ROM 22 as the receipt font and form (step S2). Then, this process ends. On the other hand, if the font built-in memory 2 is attached (“Yes” in step S1), the CPU 21 advances the process to step S3.

  When the font built-in memory 2 is attached (“Yes” in step S1), the CPU 21 acquires information on the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b stored in the flash memory chip 33 of the font built-in memory 2. Then, the acquired information is displayed on the operator display 12 (step S3). For example, when the information shown in FIG. 3A is stored, the information of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b is displayed on the operator display 12 as a list. To do. When the contents shown in FIG. 3B are stored, the names of a plurality of selectable categories are displayed in a list on the operator display 12, or the contents shown in FIG. 3C are stored. In this case, a list of names of a plurality of selectable industries may be displayed on the operator display 12. Thereby, the operator can check the contents of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b stored in the flash memory chip 33.

  Next, the CPU 21 accepts selection of a special font and special form by the operator (step S4). Selection of special fonts and special forms by the operator is performed using the keyboard 11. For example, when the names of a plurality of categories that can be selected in step S3 are listed on the operator display 12, the operator selects a category that matches the atmosphere of the store. In this case, selecting a category selects a special font corresponding to the category. In addition, when the names of a plurality of industries that can be selected in step S3 are listed on the operator display 12, the operator selects an industry that suits the business of the store. In this case, selecting an industry type selects a special font corresponding to the industry type.

  Next, the CPU 21 determines the special font and special form selected by the operator in step S4 as the receipt font and form (step S5). The special font and special form information determined here is stored in, for example, the RAM 23, and the print control unit 45 acquires the special font and special form from the flash memory chip 33 by using this information when printing the receipt. . Then, this process ends.

Next, merchandise registration processing and receipt printing processing in the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a product registration process and a receipt printing process of the sales data processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
It is assumed that the sales data processing apparatus 1 is switched to the “registration mode” by the operation of the mode switch 16 by the operator.

  First, a product is registered by an operation of the keyboard 11 by the operator (step S11). Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not registration of all products has been completed (step S12). If registration of all the products has not been completed (“No” in step S12), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S11. On the other hand, when the registration of all the products is completed (“Yes” in step S12), the CPU 21 advances the process to step S13. Note that the processing in step S12 is performed, for example, when a settlement key is selected by the operator.

  Next, the sales information registration unit 42 creates transaction details data 23a using the information registered in step S11 (step S13). Subsequently, the print control unit 45 determines whether or not the font built-in memory 2 is attached to the sales data processing apparatus 1 (step S14). When the font built-in memory 2 is not attached (“No” in step S14), the print control unit 45 reads the transaction statement data 23a, and uses the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b built in the ROM 22 as follows. The contents of the transaction details data 23a read out by using are printed on receipt paper (step S15). On the other hand, when the font built-in memory 2 is attached (“Yes” in step S14), the print control unit 45 reads the transaction statement data 23a and stores it in the flash memory chip 33 of the font built-in memory 2. The contents of the transaction details data 23a read using the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b are printed on receipt paper (step S16). Then, this process is terminated, and the operator gives the receipt printed in step S15 or step S16 to the customer.

  As described above, the sales data processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment includes the slot 17 in which the font built-in memory 2 is mounted. Then, the sales data processing device 1 reads the special font data 33a and special form data 33b stored in the font built-in memory 2 with the font built-in memory 2 attached, and reads the read special font data 33a and special form. Printing on receipt paper using data 33b. Therefore, in the sales data processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, even if a plurality of font data and form data are not built in in advance, the atmosphere of the store is produced by the receipt, or the contents of the business performed in the store are expressed. be able to.

  Assuming that special font data 33a and special form data 33b are used in accordance with a license contract, the sales data processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment uses only the special font data 33a and special form data 33b with a license contract. It is also possible to store and distribute in the font built-in memory 2.

<Configuration of Sales Data Processing Device According to Second Embodiment>
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing functions of the sales data processing apparatus 101 and the font built-in memory 102 in the second embodiment of the present invention.
In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b are stored in the flash memory chip 33 of the font built-in memory 2. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 8, special font data 33 a is stored in the flash memory chip 133 of the font built-in memory 102, and special form data 33 b is stored in the ROM 122 of the sales data processing apparatus 101.

  The memory chip control unit 151 transfers the special font data 33 a stored in the flash memory chip 133 to the CPU 121. Here, when a plurality of special font data 33 a is stored in the flash memory chip 133, the memory chip control unit 151 transfers the special font data 33 a that is in combination with the special form data 33 b stored in the ROM 122. You may make it do. In that case, the CPU 121 has information related to the combination of the special form data 33 b stored in the ROM 122 and the special font data 33 a stored in the flash memory chip 133 in advance, and the special font transferred under the control of the CPU 121. It is preferable to select the data 33a. When there are a plurality of corresponding combinations, the operator may select an arbitrary one from these combinations.

The print controller 145 prints on receipt paper using the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b stored in the ROM 122 in a state where the font built-in memory 102 is not connected.
On the other hand, the print controller 145 prints on the receipt paper using the special font data 33a stored in the flash memory chip 133 and the special form data 33b stored in the ROM 122 in a state where the font built-in memory 102 is connected. .
