The CPU 11, ROM 12, RAM 13, and memory unit 14 are connected to each other via a bus 15. The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 constitute the control unit 100. That is, the control unit 100 executes a control process described later when the CPU 11 operates according to a control program stored in the ROM 12 or the memory unit 14 and expanded in the RAM 13.

  The RAM 13 includes a product information unit 131. The merchandise information unit 131 reads out and stores the merchandise information of the merchandise subjected to sales registration processing from the merchandise master 142 based on the merchandise code corresponding to the code symbol read by the code reader 30. The merchandise information stored in the merchandise information section 131 is information such as the merchandise name, the unit price of the merchandise, the temperature classification of the merchandise, the volume of the merchandise. The temperature category is a category indicating a temperature range suitable for the product when the product is stored and delivered, and specifically, refrigeration, freezing, and normal. Refrigeration is a temperature category suitable for storing and transporting products in a refrigerated state. Freezing is a temperature category suitable for storing and transporting goods in a frozen state. “Normal” is a temperature category suitable for storing and transporting products in a normal temperature state in which the product is not refrigerated or frozen. By storing the temperature classification corresponding to the read code symbol in the product information unit 131, the temperature classification suitable for the transportation of the product specified by the code symbol is specified. Note that it is not an essential requirement to read out the temperature classification and store it in the merchandise information unit 131 in order to specify the temperature classification suitable for the conveyance of the merchandise. For example, as described later, when the product name of the product to be delivered is stored in the delivery slip information unit 144, the product master 142 is referred to and the temperature classification stored corresponding to the product is specified. Also good.

  The memory unit 14 is configured by a nonvolatile memory such as an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or a flash memory. The memory unit 14 includes a control program unit 141 that stores a control program, a product master 142, a customer master 143, and a delivery slip information unit 144. The product master 142 as a storage unit stores product information (a product name, a unit price of the product, a temperature classification of the product, a volume of the product, etc.) corresponding to the product code specifying the product. The customer master 143 stores customer information of customers who have become members. The customer information includes the customer name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, family relationship, and the like. The delivery slip information unit 144 is a storage unit that stores the product names of products purchased by the customer in one transaction, classified by temperature category. Further, the delivery slip information unit 144 stores the total volume of products purchased by the customer in one transaction, classified by temperature category. Details of the delivery slip information unit 144 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 100 is connected to the operation unit 21, the operator display unit 22, the customer display unit 23, the printing unit 24, the card reading unit 25, and the code reader 30 via the bus 15 and the controller 16. In response to an instruction from the control unit 100, the controller 16 controls the operation unit 21, the operator display unit 22, the customer display unit 23, the printing unit 24, the card reading unit 25, and the code reader 30. For the convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the control performed by the controller 16 is performed by the control unit 100.

  The control unit 100 is connected to the communication unit 31 via the bus 15. The communication unit 31 is electrically connected to another POS terminal 1 or a store server (not shown) installed in the store via a communication line. The store server is electrically connected to all POS terminals 1 installed in the store, and collects product information and settlement information from each POS terminal 1. The store server transmits the product information and payment information collected from the POS terminal 1 to a headquarter server (not shown) installed in the headquarters.

  Next, the configuration of the product master 142 will be described. FIG. 3 is a memory map showing an example of the product master 142 of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the product master 142 includes a product code part 1421, a product name part 1422, a unit price part 1423, a temperature classification part 1424, and a volume part 1425. The product code part 1421 stores a product code for specifying a product. The product name part 1422 stores the product name of the product specified by the product code. The unit price unit 1423 stores the unit price (price) of the product specified by the product code.

  The temperature classification unit 1424 stores the temperature classification (refrigerated, frozen, or normal) of the product specified by the product code. A product whose temperature classification is refrigerated is a product that needs to be refrigerated, stored and delivered. That is, a product whose temperature classification is refrigerated needs to be delivered by a delivery vehicle with a refrigerator. A product whose temperature category is frozen is a product that needs to be frozen, stored and delivered. That is, a product whose temperature classification is frozen is a product that needs to be delivered by a delivery car with a freezer. A product having a normal temperature category is a product that can be stored and delivered at a normal temperature without refrigeration or freezing. In other words, a product with a normal temperature classification is a product that can be delivered by a delivery vehicle without a refrigerator or freezer.

  For a product whose temperature classification is refrigerated, information indicating that it is refrigerated (for example, the number “1” indicating refrigeration) is stored in the temperature classification section 1424. For a product whose temperature classification is frozen, information indicating that it is frozen (for example, the number “2” indicating freezing) is stored in the temperature classification section 1424. For a product for which the temperature classification is normal, information indicating normality (for example, the number “3” indicating normal) is stored in the temperature classification unit 1424.

  The volume part 1425 stores the volume of the product. Volume refers to the size of the space occupied by the product. A product with a large volume occupies a lot of space in a delivery box. Products with a small volume do not occupy much space in the shipping box. That is, if the volume of a product is known, it can be estimated how large a box is needed to store the product. When storing a plurality of commodities in one box, it is possible to estimate how large a box is necessary if the total volume obtained by summing the volumes of the commodities is known.

  FIG. 3 shows a product code part 1421, a product name part 1422, a unit price part 1423, a temperature classification part 1424, and a volume part 1425 for one product stored in the product master 142. In practice, the merchandise master 142 has a merchandise code part 1421, a merchandise name part 1422, a unit price part 1423, a temperature classification part 1424, and a volume part 1425 for all the merchandise sold at the store.

  The frozen merchandise section 1442 stores information on merchandise that is classified into the frozen temperature categories that have undergone sales registration processing in one transaction. The frozen product part 1442 includes a product name part 14421 and a total volume part 14422. In the product name portion 14421, product information (product names) of all products classified in the frozen temperature category among the products stored in the product information unit 131 is stored. The total volume portion 14422 stores the total volume of all products classified in the refrigeration temperature category among the products stored in the product information unit 131. Specifically, in the total volume portion 14422, among the products stored in the product information unit 131, all the products classified into the freezing temperature category (that is, all products whose product names are stored in the product name portion 14421). ) Is added to the total volume.

  The normal product section 1443 stores information on products that are classified into normal temperature categories that have undergone sales registration processing in one transaction. The normal product part 1443 includes a product name part 14431 and a total volume part 14432. The product name portion 14431 stores product information (product names) of all products classified in the normal temperature category among the products stored in the product information section 131. The total volume portion 14432 stores the total volume of all products classified in the normal temperature category among the products stored in the product information unit 131. Specifically, in the total volume portion 14432, among the products stored in the product information unit 131, all the products classified into the normal temperature classification (that is, all the products whose product names are stored in the product name portion 14431). ) Is added to the total volume.

  From here, the control of the POS terminal 1 will be described in detail. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the POS terminal 1. The control unit 100 functions as a temperature classification specifying unit 101, a slip issuing unit 102, a receipt issuing unit 103, and a box determining unit 104 by following a control program stored in the control program unit 141 of the ROM 12 or the memory unit 14.

  The temperature classification specifying unit 101 refers to the delivery slip information unit 144 that stores the temperature classification suitable for storing the product for each product, and stores the temperature classification suitable for storage of the target product to be delivered. Has a function to identify.

  The slip issuing means 102 has a function of issuing a delivery slip relating to delivery of the target product for each temperature category specified by the temperature category specifying means 101.

  The receipt issuing means 103 has a function of issuing a receipt in which product information of a product for which sales registration processing has been performed is printed on receipt paper.

  The box determination unit 104 reads the volume of the target product from the delivery slip information unit 144 and determines the size of the box for storing the target product for each specified temperature category based on the accumulated volume accumulated for each specified temperature category. It has the function to do.

  6 to 8 are flowcharts showing the flow of control processing of the POS terminal 1. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the control unit 100 determines whether or not a product code specifying a product is input from the code reader 30 (S11). When it is determined that the product code has been input (Yes in S11), the control unit 100 executes sales registration processing based on the input product code (S12). Specifically, the control unit 100 reads product information corresponding to the input product code from the product master 142 and stores the product information in the product information unit 131. That is, the control unit 100 reads the product code from the product code unit 1421 and stores it in the product information unit 131. In addition, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product name unit 1422 and stores it in the product information unit 131. Further, the control unit 100 reads the unit price of the product specified by the product code from the unit price unit 1423 and stores it in the product information unit 131. In addition, the control unit 100 (temperature classification specifying unit 101) reads out the temperature classification of the product from the temperature classification unit 1424 and stores it in the product information unit 131. That is, the control unit 100 identifies a temperature category suitable for the product to be delivered. Further, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the volume unit 1425 and stores it in the product information unit 131. Next, the control unit 100 executes a delivery slip creation process (S13). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of delivery slip creation processing executed by the control unit 100 in S13. As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 100 (temperature category determination means) uses the temperature category suitable for transporting the product based on the temperature category stored in the product information unit 131 for the product whose sales are registered in S12. It is judged whether or not is refrigerated (S41). When it is determined that the temperature classification is refrigerated (Yes in S41), the control unit 100 reads the product name and volume of the product stored in the product information unit 131 from the product master 142, and stores the refrigerated product unit. 1441 is stored (S42). That is, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores the product name in the product name unit 14411 of the refrigerated product unit 1441. In addition, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the product information unit 131 and accumulates and stores it in the total volume unit 14412 of the refrigerated product unit 1441. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  If it is determined that the temperature classification of the product is not refrigerated (No in S41), the control unit 100 (temperature classification determination means) stores the product registered for sales in S12 in the product information unit 131. Based on the determined temperature classification, it is determined whether or not the temperature classification suitable for transporting the product is frozen (S43). When it is determined that the temperature classification is frozen (Yes in S43), the control unit 100 stores the product name and volume of the product stored in the product information unit 131 in the frozen product unit 1442 (S44). That is, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores the product name in the product name unit 14421 of the frozen product unit 1442. In addition, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the product information unit 131 and accumulates and stores it in the total volume unit 14422 of the frozen product unit 1442. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  In addition, when it is determined that the temperature category of the product is not frozen (No in S43), the control unit 100 assumes that the temperature category suitable for transporting the product is normal, and the product for which sales registration processing has been performed in S12 The product name and volume of the product stored in the product information unit 131 are stored in the normal product unit 1443 (S45). That is, the control unit 100 reads the product name of the product from the product information unit 131 and stores the product name in the product name unit 14431 of the normal product unit 1443. Further, the control unit 100 reads the volume of the product from the product information unit 131 and accumulates and stores it in the total volume unit 14432 of the normal product unit 1443. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  In this way, the control unit 100 divides the product names and volumes of all the products for which sales registration processing has been performed in S12 into the temperature categories of the respective products, and stores the refrigerated product unit 1441, the frozen product unit 1442, and the normal product unit. 1443 is stored and stored. In the product name portion 14411, product names of all products whose temperature classification is refrigerated among the products whose sales are registered in S12 are stored. The total volume portion 14412 stores a total volume obtained by summing the volumes of all the products whose temperature classification is refrigerated among the products whose sales are registered in S12. In the product name portion 14421, product names of all products whose temperature classification is frozen among the products whose sales are registered in S12 are stored. The total volume unit 14422 stores a total volume obtained by summing the volumes of all the products whose temperature classification is frozen among the products whose sales are registered in S12. Also, the product name portion 14431 stores the product names of all products whose temperature classification is normal among the products whose sales are registered in S12. The total volume portion 14432 stores a total volume obtained by summing the volumes of all the products whose temperature classification is normal among the products whose sales are registered in S12.

  Returning to the description of FIG. If it is determined in S11 that a product code for specifying a product has not been input (No in S11), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the settlement key 211 has been operated (S21). If it is determined that the settlement key 211 has been operated (Yes in S21), the control unit 100 executes a settlement process for the transaction based on the product information stored in the product information unit 131 (S22). In the process of S22, the control unit 100 (receipt issuing means 103) issues a receipt in which the merchandise information and the settlement information of the merchandise subjected to the sales registration process are printed on the receipt paper. In the settlement process of S22, a receipt number that identifies the issued receipt is printed on the receipt. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  If it is determined that the settlement key 211 has not been operated (No in S21), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the delivery key 212 has been operated (S31). When the customer wishes to deliver the product, the operator operates the delivery key 212 after the settlement of the transaction.

  When it is determined that the delivery key 212 has been operated (Yes in S31), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the settlement process in S22 has been completed for the transaction before the delivery key 212 is operated. (S32). For example, a settled flag is set for the transaction for which the settlement process was executed in S22. When the settled flag is set, the control unit 100 determines that the settlement of the transaction for which the product is desired to be delivered has been completed.

  If it is determined that the payment has been completed (Yes in S32), the control unit 100 executes a delivery slip issuing process for the transaction that has been settled immediately before (S33). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. On the other hand, when it is determined that the settlement has not ended (No in S32), the control unit 100 displays an error message indicating that the transaction is unsettled, an operator display unit 22 and a customer display unit 23. (S34). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. When it is determined that the delivery key 212 has not been operated (No in S31), the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the delivery slip issuing process executed in S33. As shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 100 determines whether or not a customer ID (Identification) recorded on a customer card owned by the customer has been read and input by the card reading unit 25 (S51). If it is determined that it has been input (Yes in S51), the control unit 100 reads out the customer information of the customer stored in the customer master 143 based on the input customer ID (S52). The customer information to be read is the customer's name, home address, telephone number, and the like. The customer information may include a delivery address other than home. In this case, from the read address, a home address or a delivery address other than the home can be selected as a delivery destination for delivering the product.

  If it is determined that the customer ID has not been input (No in S51), the control unit 100 inputs the customer information by another method (S55). For example, customer information registered in the internet supermarket may be input. Further, the customer may manually input the name and address. When the customer manually inputs, it is also possible to input an address other than the customer's registered home address as a delivery destination.

  Next, the operator asks the customer the delivery time for delivering the product. Then, the operator designates a delivery flight from the operation unit 21 based on the time designated by the customer. The control unit 100 determines whether a delivery flight has been designated (S53). The control unit 100 waits until designated (No in S53). If it is determined that a delivery flight has been designated (Yes in S53), the control unit 100 determines the designated delivery flight (S54).

  Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not refrigerated product information is stored in the refrigerated product unit 1441 (S61). When the product name of the refrigerated product is stored in the product name portion 14411 and the total volume is stored in the total volume portion 14412, the control unit 100 stores information on the refrigerated product in the refrigerated product portion 1441. Judge. When it is determined that the information on the refrigerated product is stored in the refrigerated product unit 1441 (Yes in S61), the control unit 100 (box determination means 104) determines the size of the box for storing the refrigerated product ( S62).

  The control unit 100 determines the size of the box that stores the refrigerated product based on the total volume stored in the total volume unit 14412. In the case of the embodiment, for example, three types of large, medium, and small boxes (hereinafter, a large box is referred to as “box large”, a medium box is referred to as “box medium”, and a small box is referred to as “box”. A box of any size can be determined from “small”. The limit volume that can be stored in each size box is determined in advance.

  First, the control unit 100 compares the total volume stored in the total volume unit 14412 with the limited volume of the small box. If the total volume is equal to or less than the limited capacity of the small box, the box that stores the refrigerated product is determined to be small. On the other hand, when the total volume exceeds the limited volume of the box, the control unit 100 then compares the total volume with the limited volume in the box. If the total volume is less than or equal to the limit volume in the box, the box that stores the refrigerated product is determined to be in the box. On the other hand, if the total volume exceeds the limit volume in the box, the control unit 100 then compares the total volume with the limit size of the box size. When the total volume is equal to or less than the limit size of the box size, the box for storing the refrigerated goods is determined to be the box size. In addition, when the total volume exceeds the limit size of the box size, the refrigerated goods are stored in a plurality of boxes.

  The size of a box for storing a frozen product, which will be described later, and the size of a box for storing a normal product are determined in the same manner.

  Next, the control unit 100 (slip issuing means 102) controls the printing unit 24 to print the product name of the refrigerated product stored in the product name unit 14411 and the size of the box determined in S62 on the receipt paper. Then, a delivery slip for refrigerated goods is issued (S63).

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a delivery slip for refrigerated goods issued in S63. As shown in FIG. 9, in the delivery slip R1 for refrigerated goods, the letter R11 of “delivery slip (refrigerated goods)” indicating that it is a refrigerated goods delivery slip, the address R12 of the delivery destination of the refrigerated goods, the refrigerated goods Recipient R13, delivery flight information R14 of the specified refrigerated product, product name R15 of the refrigerated product stored in the box, and delivery source name R16 for delivering the refrigerated product. In the example of FIG. 9, product names of product A, product B, and product C, which are refrigerated products, are printed. A letter R17 indicating the size of the box for storing the refrigerated goods is printed on the delivery slip R1. In the example of FIG. 9, “Large” characters indicating a large size box are printed as the size of the box. In addition, if the control part 100 issues the delivery slip R1 for refrigerated goods in S63, the control part 100 will delete the merchandise information memorize | stored in the refrigerated goods part 1441. FIG. That is, the control unit 100 deletes the product name of the refrigerated product stored in the product name part 14411 and the total volume of the refrigerated product stored in the total volume unit 14412.

  Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the delivery slip has been issued (S70). If no information is stored in the delivery slip information unit 144, the control unit 100 determines that the delivery slip has been issued. If information is stored in any one or more of the refrigerated product unit 1441, the frozen product unit 1442, and the normal product unit 1443, the control unit 100 determines that the delivery slip has not been issued. If it is determined that the delivery slip has been issued (Yes in S70), the control unit 100 returns to S11. If it is determined that the delivery slip has not been issued (No in S70), the control unit 100 returns to S61.
