The sequence diagram of FIG. 4 starts when the customer of the store indicates the purchase intention to the store clerk. In addition, in FIG. 4, the case where both a paper receipt and an electronic receipt are issued will be described.

  The clerk registers sales in the electronic cash register 3 (step S10), and presses the paper receipt key 62 to select whether it is necessary or unnecessary to issue a paper receipt (step S11). In addition, by pressing the electronic receipt key 61, it is selected whether issuance of the electronic receipt is necessary or unnecessary (step S12). The clerk asks the customer to present customer identification information when it is necessary to issue an electronic receipt. The customer displays a barcode including customer identification information on the display device of the smartphone 2 (step S13). The customer identification information is information identifying the customer's smartphone, and by reading the customer identification information, the electronic receipt can be transmitted to the customer's smartphone.

The store clerk reads the barcode by the barcode reader 382 (step S14), and stores the customer identification information read from the barcode (step S15).
The smartphone 2 displays a bar code including customer identification information on the display device, and enters an electronic receipt waiting state.

  Then, the sales clerk presses the current / registration key 66 since the sales registration is completed. Accordingly, the electronic cash register 3 identifies the customer's smartphone 2 based on the stored customer identification information, and transmits an electronic receipt to the identified smartphone 2 (step S17). Although the method of identifying the smartphone 2 of the corresponding customer from the read customer identification information is not particularly limited, for example, the identification may be performed by referring to registration information registered in advance in association with these. There is a way to do it. The smartphone 2 responds to the electronic cash register 3 that the electronic receipt has been received (step S18).

  Next, the electronic cash register 3 prints a paper receipt (step S19). The smartphone 2 reflects the electronic receipt received in step S17 on a household account book (not shown) (step S20).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing sales registration processing. This sales registration process is executed in step S10 of FIG.
The sales registration process of FIG. 5 starts when the store customer indicates the intention of the purchase to the store clerk.
The CPU 31 determines whether or not an operation input from a store clerk as an operator has been received (step S30). In step S30, when the subtotal key 65 is pressed, the CPU 31 executes subtotal processing (step S31), and returns to the processing of step S30.

  In step S30, when the store clerk presses the electronic receipt key 61, the CPU 31 switches the necessity of issuing the electronic receipt (step S32), and returns to the process of step S30.

When the paper receipt key 62 is turned off, the LED element is turned on by pressing the paper receipt key 62.
In step S30, when the bar code reader 382 reads the bar code of the customer (step S34), the CPU 31 stores the customer identification information included in the bar code (step S35), and the process of step S30. Return to

In step S30, when the store clerk presses down the current / deposit key 66, the CPU 31 performs an accounting process (step S36), and issues a receipt after step S37.
If the paper receipt key 62 is on and the electronic receipt key 61 is off, the CPU 31 prints a paper receipt (step S38) if issuance of the electronic receipt is not required (step S37 → No). End the processing of.

  If the electronic receipt key 61 is in the lighted state and it is therefore necessary to issue an electronic receipt (step S37 → Yes), the CPU 31 determines whether or not the customer is specified (step S39). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the customer can be identified based on the customer identification information stored in step S35. If the CPU 31 can not identify the customer (step S39: No), the paper receipt including the electronic receipt member registration information is printed (step S40), and the process of FIG. 5 is ended. An example of the paper receipt printed in step S40 is shown in FIG. 7 described later.

  In addition, when a customer can not be specified by step S39, the case where storage of customer identification information is not performed by step S35 is also included. By using this, the store clerk can easily prompt the customer for member registration. For example, if the customer wants to issue an electronic receipt but is not an electronic receipt member, the clerk turns on the electronic receipt key 61 and does not read the bar code in step S34 for accounting. By proceeding, it is possible to print a paper receipt including electronic receipt member registration information in step S40.

The CPU 31 stores the customer identification information by the processes of steps S34 and S35, and if the customer is identified (step S39 → Yes), identifies and identifies the smartphone 2 of the customer based on the stored customer identification information. The electronic receipt is transmitted to the smart phone 2 (step S41). Further, the CPU 31 determines whether it is necessary to output the paper receipt (step S42). If it is necessary to output the paper receipt (step S42: Yes), the CPU 31 causes the printing unit 36 to print a paper receipt including the effect of "the electronic receipt has been issued" (step S43), and the process of FIG. Do. An example of the paper receipt printed in step S43 is shown in FIG. 6 described later.
Note that an example of a paper receipt on which the accounting data, information indicating that the accounting data has been transmitted, and a watermark indicating that the receipt is invalid is printed in step S43 of the modification will be described later. Shown in 8.

  If the paper receipt key 62 is turned off and the paper receipt output is not required (step S42 → No), the CPU 31 ends the process of FIG. 5 as it is.

In step S80, when the bar code reader 382 reads the bar code of the customer (step S84), the CPU 31 stores the customer identification information included in the bar code (step S85), and the process of step S80. Return to

In step S80, when the store / store key taps the current / deposit key on touch panel display 371, CPU 31 performs an accounting process (step S86), and issues a receipt from step S87.
If the electronic receipt key is in the OFF state, and therefore the issuance of the electronic receipt is not necessary (step S87 → No), the paper receipt is printed (step S88), and the process of FIG. 12 is ended.

  If the electronic receipt key is on and it is necessary to issue an electronic receipt (step S87 → Yes), the CPU 31 determines whether or not the customer is specified (step S89). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the customer can be identified based on the customer identification information stored in step S85. If the CPU 31 can not specify the customer (step S 89 → No), the paper receipt including the electronic receipt member registration information is printed (step S 90), and the process of FIG. 12 is ended. An example of the paper receipt printed in step S90 is shown in FIG. 14 described later.

  In addition, when a customer can not be specified by step S89, the case where storage of customer identification information is not performed by step S85 is also included. By using this, the store clerk can easily prompt the customer for member registration. For example, if the customer wishes to issue an electronic receipt but is not an electronic receipt member, the clerk proceeds to accounting without reading the barcode in step S84 while turning on the electronic receipt key. Thus, the paper receipt including the electronic receipt member registration information can be printed in step S90.

The CPU 31 stores the customer identification information by the process of steps S84 and S85, and if the customer is specified (step S89 → Yes), transmits the customer identification information and the electronic receipt to the server device 1 (step S91) The link information of the electronic receipt of the transmission destination is converted into a two-dimensional code (step S92).
Further, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the paper receipt key is in the on state, and therefore the output of the paper receipt is required (step S93). If it is necessary to output the paper receipt (step S 93 → Yes), the CPU 31 causes the printing unit 36 to print a paper receipt including the effect of “electronic receipt issued” and the link information of the electronic receipt (step S 94) , End the processing of FIG. An example of the paper receipt printed in step S94 is shown in FIG. 13 described later.
In step S94 of the modification, the link information of the accounting data, the accounting data, the information indicating that the accounting data has been transmitted, and the paper receipt on which the watermark indicating that the receipt is invalid is printed. An example is shown in FIG. 15 described later.

  If the paper receipt key is off and the paper receipt output is not required (step S93 → No), the CPU 31 ends the process of FIG. 12 as it is.

FIG. 13 is a view showing the paper receipt 7c when the electronic receipt is simultaneously issued.
The paper receipt 7c is printed in the process of step S94 of FIG. The paper receipt 7c includes a title 71, a receipt area 72, a comment area 76, and a two-dimensional code area 77.
The title 71 is printed as "Payment", and indicates the information printed on the paper receipt 7c. The receipt area 72 is printed with the date and time, department code and score and amount, subtotal amount, internal tax, total amount, actual amount and balance according to the receipt information. The date and time to be printed are acquired from the clock unit 301 (see FIG. 10).

  Further, below the receipt area 72, a comment area 76 and a two-dimensional code area 77 are arranged. In the comment area 76, the wording "electronic receipt has been issued simultaneously" is printed. Thus, the customer or the clerk can easily determine that the paper receipt 7c is issued (outputted) at the same time as the electronic receipt. In the two-dimensional code area 77, a two-dimensional code including link information of the electronic receipt corresponding to the receipt is printed. Thus, the customer can obtain the electronic receipt information corresponding to the paper receipt 7c.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the paper receipt 7d when the customer can not be identified.
The paper receipt 7d is printed in the process of step S90 of FIG. This paper receipt 7d is the same as the paper receipt 7b shown in FIG.

  In the second embodiment, the wording "electronic receipt has been issued simultaneously" is printed on the paper receipt 7c. Thus, the third party can determine that the paper receipt 7c can not be used as a receipt. However, if the print area of the wording “electronic receipt is simultaneously issued” is cut off, the paper receipt 7 c may be abused as a receipt. The modification of the second embodiment is to prevent such a situation.

FIG. 15 is a view showing the paper receipt 7f when the electronic receipt is simultaneously issued in the modification of the second embodiment.
Similar to the paper receipt 7c shown in FIG. 13, this paper receipt 7f includes a title 71, a receipt area 72, a comment area 76, and a two-dimensional code area 77, and further, the gray color of the watermark 78 is light It is printed with. The watermark 78 is diagonally printed with "VOID" so as to overlap the receipt area 72, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. That is, the CPU 31 (control means) causes the watermark 78 to be superimposed and printed on the receipt area 72 (accounting data) as information indicating that the paper receipt 7f is invalid as a receipt. The watermark 78 also indicates that the paper receipt 7f is invalid as a receipt. Thus, the customer or the store clerk can easily determine that the paper receipt 7f is issued (outputted) at the same time as the electronic receipt.

  Further, even if the comment area 76 of the paper receipt 7f is cut off, the paper receipt 7f is indicated by the watermark 78 as being invalid as a receipt. The customer or store clerk can easily determine from the watermark 78 that the paper receipt 7f is issued (outputted) simultaneously with the electronic receipt.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the following (a) to (h) are available.

(A) The link information of the electronic receipt printed on the paper receipt is not limited to the QR code (registered trademark) or the two-dimensional code, but may be any code format.
(B) When printing electronic receipt member registration information on a paper receipt, the present invention is not limited to the case where the electronic receipt is necessary and can not be identified by the customer, and printing may be performed when the electronic receipt is unnecessary.
(C) The information encoded and printed on the paper receipt is not limited to the link information of the electronic receipt, but may be the receipt information itself.
(D) The printing unit may not be incorporated in the housing of the electronic cash register, and may print the receipt on an external independent printing device.
(E) The words printed in the comment area of the paper receipt are not particularly limited as long as they indicate that the electronic receipt has been issued. Further, the present invention is not limited to the wording, and may be a predetermined character, figure, symbol or the like for indicating that the electronic receipt has been issued.
(F) The watermark printed on the paper receipt is not limited to the character string "VOID". As long as the information indicates that the receipt is invalid, it may be any character string, figure, symbol or the like.
(G) The area where the watermark is printed is not limited to the receipt area 72. If the watermark is printed so as to overlap at least the receipt area 72, the watermark may be superimposed on the other areas and printed.
(H) When an electronic receipt is issued, information indicating that the receipt is invalid is printed on the paper receipt, but this information is not limited to the watermark. Information indicating that the receipt area 72 and the receipt area 72 are invalid as receipts may be printed. Specifically, small "VOID" characters may be repeatedly printed to surround the receipt area 72. Also, small "VOID" characters may be printed sideways at the left and right ends of the receipt area 72.
