A POS system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a management server 10 and a plurality of POS terminals 20. The management server 10 and the plurality of POS terminals 20 are communicably connected via a network 30 such as the Internet.

  The POS system 1 can be introduced, for example, in affiliated stores such as chain stores (restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets, etc.). The management server 10 manages a plurality of POS terminals 20. The plurality of POS terminals 20 are respectively arranged at affiliated stores. For example, only one POS terminal 20 may be arranged for each store.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the POS terminal 20. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an external appearance example of the POS terminal 20. 2 and 3, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Hereinafter, a configuration example of the POS terminal 20 shown in FIG. 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The POS terminal 20 includes a CPU 201, a ROM 202, a RAM 203, a hard disk 204, a customer side display unit 205, a biological information detection unit 206, a card payment unit 207, a cash storage unit 208, and a clerk side display unit 209. A key operation unit 210, a scanner unit 211, a printing unit 212, an audio output unit 213, and a communication unit 214. These can communicate with each other via a bus.

The CPU 201 is a central processing unit, and controls the operation of the POS terminal 20 by reading and executing a program stored in the ROM 202.
The ROM 202 is a read-only memory and stores various information used by the CPU 201 including a program.

  The RAM 203 is a read / write memory and stores various information. For example, the RAM 203 stores information acquired from the outside (for example, a product master acquired from the management server 10), information generated in the process (for example, registration information (registered data) generated in a registration process for registering products), purchase The settlement information generated in the settlement process for settlement (settlement) of the product is stored. The RAM 203 also includes store clerk information 40 (see FIG. 4) including biometric information of the store clerk, attendance information 50 (see FIG. 5) regarding the attendance of the store clerk, and correction operation information when an operation for canceling the registered product is performed. 60 (see FIG. 6) is stored.

  The hard disk 204 stores various information. For example, the hard disk 204 may store a program executed by the CPU 201 instead of the ROM 202. Further, instead of the RAM 203, information acquired from the outside or information generated in the processing may be stored.

The customer side display unit 205 is a display for customers, and displays various information to customers. As shown in FIG. 3, the display surface of the customer side display unit 205 faces in the opposite direction to the display surface of the store clerk side display unit 209.
The biometric information detection unit 206 detects biometric information for authenticating the store clerk. The biological information is, for example, biological information of a finger vein of a hand, but is not limited thereto, and may be information such as a fingerprint, a voiceprint, a retina, and an iris. The biological information of the vein is, for example, a finger vein pattern obtained by analyzing a finger imaging result obtained by irradiating near infrared rays. The biological information detection unit 206 is externally attached to the POS terminal 20 and connected to the POS terminal 20 by wire or wireless, for example. However, the biological information detection unit 206 is not limited to this, and may be incorporated in the POS terminal 20.

  The card settlement unit 207 is a settlement mechanism using various cards (credit cards, prepaid cards such as transportation cards). The card settlement unit 207 of the present embodiment includes a card recognition unit (reading unit), a display unit, and an operation unit, but may be any unit that includes at least a card recognition unit. Note that the card recognition unit may recognize various cards (for example, a membership card, a point card, etc.) that are not directly used for payment (settlement).

  The cash storage unit 208 is a storage unit that stores cash, and takes a drawn state and a stored state. The cash storage unit 208 is, for example, a drawer, and is pulled out when a store clerk operates a predetermined key of the key operation unit 210. Further, the cash storage unit 208 is stored by a store clerk performing an operation of pushing.

  The clerk side display unit 209 is a clerk touch display that displays various information to the clerk and accepts various inputs from the clerk. For example, the clerk-side display unit 209 may log in to register a product purchased by a customer, a button corresponding to the product, a time stamp such as going to work, or a product registration. The button for etc. is displayed.

  The key operation unit 210 includes various keys (buttons) and receives various inputs from the store clerk. For example, the key operation unit 210 includes a button for inputting a number, a cancel button for canceling (deleting) a registered product, a subtotal button for calculating the total price of the registered product, and the like.

  The scanner unit 211 optically reads, for example, a bar code (product code or the like) attached to a product or a predetermined sheet, an employee code attached to a name tag of a store clerk, or the like. The scanner unit 211 reads the barcode to register the product. In addition to reading the barcode by the scanner unit 211, the product registration is also performed, for example, by operating a preset key displayed on the store clerk side display unit 209 corresponding to the product.

The printing unit 212 prints and issues purchase information such as a store name, a purchased product, and a purchase date and time on various media (receipt, check ticket, etc.).
The audio output unit 213 outputs audio. For example, the voice output unit 213 receives predetermined voices (for example, when the store clerk side display unit 209 or the key operation unit 210 receives an input from a store clerk, or when the scanner unit 211 reads a barcode, for example, When the bar code is read, a sound “beep” is output. The voice output unit 213 may output voice guidance.
The communication unit 214 transmits / receives information to / from the management server 10 and other POS terminals 20.

(An example of salesclerk information)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the clerk information 40. The clerk information 40 is clerk master information, and includes “name”, “employee code”, “biometric information”, and “store ID” of each clerk. The clerk information 40 is registered, for example, until the clerk is employed in the store and starts working.
“Name” is the name of the clerk.
“Employee code” is identification information for identifying a store clerk.

“Biometric information” is biometric information (for example, finger vein information) of each store clerk, and is used for biometric authentication (biometric determination) when logging in or stamping attendance, such as attendance time and departure time. Used. “Biometric information” indicates a finger vein pattern obtained by analyzing an imaging result obtained by irradiating a target finger to be registered with near infrared rays. This vein pattern is used for biometric authentication as to whether or not it matches the information pattern detected by the biometric information detection unit 206.
“Store ID” is identification information of a store where the store clerk mainly works. In affiliated stores and the like, different store IDs are attached to the stores.
In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the salesclerk information 40 includes information, such as a salesclerk's address and contact information.

  The clerk information 40 stored in the POS terminal 20 is transmitted from the POS terminal 20 to the management server 10, and the clerk information 40 is also stored in the management server 10. For this reason, the management server 10 memorize | stores the salesclerk information 40 of each store in an affiliated store.

(Example of attendance information)
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the attendance information 50. The attendance information 50 is history information related to authentication, and specifically, information obtained by successfully authenticating the attendance of attendance from the history information.
The attendance information 50 includes “employee code”, “time”, and “situation” of each store clerk. The “employee code” is the same as the “employee code” shown in FIG. 4 and is identification information for identifying the store clerk. In FIG. 5, for the sake of convenience, the name of the store clerk corresponding to the employee code is written in parentheses below the employee code.

  “Time” indicates the time at which biometric authentication was performed (the time at which authentication was successful), and specifically indicates the time at which time was stamped. “Situation” indicates going to work or leaving work. However, "situation" includes going out and returning from going out in addition to going to work and leaving work.

(Example of correction operation information)
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the correction operation information 60. The correction operation information 60 is authentication history information. Specifically, among the history information, history information when a biometric information input request is made at the time of correction (for example, cancellation) of a registered product. It is. In the present embodiment, the cancellation (deletion) of the product is mainly described as the correction of the product. However, other operations other than the cancellation, such as an operation for increasing the number of products, may be used. The correction operation information 60 includes “employee code”, “time”, “situation”, and “target product” of each store clerk. The “employee code” is the same as the “employee code” shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and is identification information for identifying the store clerk. In FIG. 6, for the sake of convenience, the name of the store clerk corresponding to the employee code is written in parentheses below the employee code.

  “Time” indicates a time when an operation for canceling the registered product is performed (for example, when a cancel button of the key operation unit 210 is pressed). “Situation” indicates a situation after an operation for canceling the registered product is performed and a request for inputting biometric information is made. In this embodiment, after an operation for canceling a registered product is performed, the store clerk is requested to input biometric information (insertion of a finger into the biometric information detection unit 206), and the biometric information matches in biometric authentication. It is possible to cancel the registered product (when authentication is successful).

  The “situation” includes “cancellation completed”, “cancellation cancellation”, “cancellation cancellation”, and “timeout”. “Cancel complete” indicates that the authentication was successful and the cancellation was actually performed. “Cancellation failure” indicates that the biometric information coincidence determination in biometric authentication did not match (authentication failed), and cancellation was not performed.

  Here, “cancellation failure” will be described in detail. Since each store clerk succeeds in the authentication at the time of attendance, in principle, the authentication at the time of canceling the product does not fail, that is, there is almost no “cancellation failure”. The “cancellation failure” is, for example, a failure of the biological information detection unit 206 or a case where it is operated by an unregistered operator (outsider). Note that it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which cancellation of a product being registered is permitted only when the logged-in clerk and the clerk performing the cancellation operation are the same person (same authentication information). In the case of such a configuration, for example, the store clerk operating the POS terminal 20 is switched during product registration due to customer service, etc., so that the registered store clerk (logged in store clerk) and the store clerk trying to cancel May be different. In this case also, “cancellation failure” occurs.

  “Cancel cancellation” indicates that the store clerk voluntarily cancels the cancellation after the operation for canceling the registered product is performed. “Timeout” indicates that a reception period during which biometric authentication can be performed has elapsed.

  Here, fraudulent cheating (for example, cash clothes) that is easily performed in restaurants will be described. First, the presupposed configuration will be described. The POS terminal 20 receives an instruction (for example, operation of a “subtotal button”) that the store clerk registers the product to be purchased by the customer and completes the registration of the product. The registration of the product is completed and the receipt can be printed out. As a result, information on the product for which registration has been completed is stored as sales data. On the other hand, when the instruction to complete the registration of the product is not accepted, that is, when the operation of the “subtotal button” is not accepted, the information on the product being registered is not stored in the sales data.

  In general, in a restaurant, sales of products that can be managed in stock, food that needs to be ordered from a kitchen, and the like can be managed separately based on the sales quantity and the order quantity, so that fraud by store staff is less likely to be performed. On the other hand, in the case of drinks and the like that are difficult to carry out inventory management for each quantity, it is possible for the store clerk to provide drinks to customers without completing registration of the product (drink). Specifically, when a drink is ordered, the clerk once registered the product, but before completing the product registration (before operating the “subtotal button”), for example, no receipt is required from the customer. Suppose there is an offer to that effect. In this case, the store clerk cancels the product being registered so that the customer does not complete the product registration (and does not store it in the sales data), and then provides the customer with a drink and dresses the price received from the customer. Action may be performed. In this embodiment, correction operation information 60 is stored in order to help identify the store clerk who performs such fraud.

  Here, an example in the case where it can be considered that there is no possibility of fraud by a store clerk will be described first. For example, if the “target product” is food, as described above, since sales can be managed separately from the sales quantity and order quantity, it is difficult to carry out fraud, so even if the registered product is canceled, The cancellation is considered to be an operation error of the store clerk or correction of the order from the customer (it can be considered that there is no possibility of fraud by the store clerk).

  In addition, if the “situation” is “cancellation failure” (authentication failure), as described above, there is a possibility that the device may be out of order. It can be considered that there is no possibility.

  Next, an example in the case where it can be considered that there is a possibility of fraud by a store clerk will be described. For example, when the “target product” is a drink and the “situation” is “cancel completion”, “cancel cancellation”, or “timeout”, the above-described fraud may have been performed. For example, if the “target product” is a drink and the “situation” is “cancellation completed”, as described above, it is received from the customer without completing the registration of the product (without storing it in the sales data). There is a possibility that fraudulent acts, such as dressing the price, were carried out.

  Also, if the “target product” is a drink and the “situation” is “cancellation of cancellation” or “timeout”, the fraudulent act itself may not have been performed, but there may be a fraudulent purpose (attempt). There is. For example, since there is a purpose of fraud, since biometric authentication is required when performing revocation, the store clerk determines that there is a possibility that fraud may be revealed by biometric authentication, and intentionally cancels revocation, or This is the case when a timeout occurs. On the other hand, when the “situation” is “cancellation of cancellation” or “timeout”, there is a possibility that there was no fraudulent purpose. The case where there is no fraudulent purpose is, for example, a case where a store clerk makes a mistake in operation or a case where a customer makes a request for cancellation, but the product is not canceled because the offer is reversed. As described above, in the present embodiment, by storing the correction operation information 60, a user such as a store manager or an owner can monitor a specific store clerk by analyzing a situation and a tendency when a cancel operation is performed. It can be useful for.

  For example, in FIG. 6, for the employee code “1234 (XX Taro)”, “target product” is a drink, “situation” is “cancellation completed”, and “time” is a customer or other Since there are many correction operation information 60, which is a night time zone with few employees, it can be estimated that there is a possibility that the price has been dressed.

  The correction operation information 60 stored in the POS terminal 20 is transmitted from the POS terminal 20 to the management server 10, and the correction operation information 60 is also stored in the management server 10. Therefore, the management server 10 stores correction operation information 60 for a plurality of stores. In the present embodiment, biometric authentication is required at the time of login. For this reason, the history information related to authentication managed by the POS terminal 20 includes the log-in history indicating the log-in time and log-out time in addition to the attendance information 50 and the correction operation information 60 shown in FIG. . This login history is also transmitted to the management server 10 and stored in the management server 10.

(Display example when performing work attendance at the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 7 is a display example when the attendance at the POS terminal 20 is performed. First, an initial screen is displayed on the clerk-side display unit 209 at a stage prior to the transition to the display screen shown in (1) of FIG. When the store clerk selects a predetermined button (for example, the person-in-charge button 82 in FIG. 8) on this initial screen, the display screen shown in (1) is displayed. When the attendance button 61 is operated on the display screen of (1), the screen shifts to the display screen shown in (2).

  On the display screen of (2), a plurality of buttons 62 for accepting designation of attendance and the current time are displayed. When the attendance button 63 among the plurality of buttons 62 is operated, the display screen shown in (3) is displayed.

  The display screen of (3) shows a screen that accepts input of an employee code. In the display screen of (3), when the employee code is input and the confirm button 64 is operated, store clerk information 40 (see FIG. 4) including the employee code that matches the input employee code is stored. Whether or not there is a match is determined. In the coincidence determination, when a coincidence determination result is obtained, the display screen shown in (4) is displayed.

  On the other hand, in the coincidence determination, when a coincidence determination result is not obtained (for example, in the case of a support clerk dispatched from another store), the POS terminal 20 makes an inquiry to the management server 10. When there is this inquiry, the management server 10 searches for the clerk information 40 of another store different from the inquired store, and stores the clerk information 40 including the employee code that matches the entered employee code. Whether or not there is a match is determined. The management server 10 transmits the clerk information 40 to the POS terminal 20 when a matching determination result is obtained in the matching determination. When receiving the clerk information 40 from the management server 10, the POS terminal 20 stores the received clerk information 40 and shifts to the display screen of (4).

  Note that the clerk information 40 received from the management server 10 is the clerk information 40 of the support clerk, and may be temporarily stored. Further, the POS terminal 20 may receive only the determination result in the matching determination without receiving the clerk information 40.

  On the other hand, when a matching determination result is not obtained in the matching determination, the management server 10 transmits information indicating that to the POS terminal 20. When the POS terminal 20 receives information indicating that a matching determination result cannot be obtained from the management server 10, the POS terminal 20 displays an error screen indicating that the employee code is incorrect. In this case, the attendance is not stamped.

  The display screen (4) shows a screen that requests the store clerk to input biometric information. When the store clerk inserts a pre-registered finger into the biological information detection unit 206 (see FIG. 2), the vein of the finger is imaged by the camera included in the biological information detection unit 206, and the biological information (vein pattern) is obtained by image analysis. Detected. When biometric information is detected, biometric authentication is performed. Specifically, the POS terminal 20 performs biometric authentication (biometric determination) as to whether or not store clerk information 40 (see FIG. 4) including biometric information that matches the detected biometric information is stored. In the biometric authentication, when a matching determination result is obtained (when the authentication is successful), the display screen shown in (5) is displayed.

  On the other hand, if a matching determination result is not obtained in biometric authentication, an error screen indicating that the authentication has failed is displayed. In this case, the attendance is not stamped. In addition, since the matching determination result is obtained in the matching determination of the employee code shown in (3), in principle, the matching determination result is also obtained in the biometric authentication. In the case of a support clerk dispatched from another store, the clerk information 40 is received from the management server 10 in the employee code match determination shown in (3). In principle, matching judgment results can be obtained. The POS terminal 20 may be configured not to receive the clerk information 40 from the management server 10. In this case, the POS terminal 20 makes an inquiry for biometric authentication to the management server 10 (transmits the biometric information), and the management server 10 Only the determination result of the biometric authentication performed in step 1 may be received.

  On the display screen shown in (5), attendance information (attendance information) is generated and a message indicating that the attendance at work has been completed is displayed. Thereby, the time stamp of work is completed. Even in the case of leaving work, attendance information (leaving information) is generated and stamped in the same procedure.

  Next, login will be described. On the display screen of (1), when the employee code is input and the confirm button 67 is selected, the employee code match determination is performed. If a matching determination result is obtained, a screen requesting the store clerk to input biometric information is displayed. Furthermore, if the biometric authentication is successful, the user can log in. Once logged in, the store clerk can register and check out the product. When the registration and settlement of the product is completed, the clerk presses the logout button (logout button 81 in FIG. 8), and the user is logged out. In addition, it is good also as logging out, when there is no operation after logout and a fixed period passes or when another store clerk logs in.

  In addition, only one store clerk can log in to the POS terminal 20. If no attendance is logged in, and the attendance is stamped (when attendance information is generated), the store employee who attended the attendance is allowed to log in. On the other hand, even if an attendance is stamped while another store clerk is logged in, the store clerk who has entered the attendance is not permitted to log in. In addition, when the employee has been stamped out of work (when leaving information is generated), the possibility that the store clerk operates the POS terminal 20 is low (because he leaves the office). Regardless of whether or not the login of the store clerk is not permitted.

  Next, the opening process at the time of opening will be described. When the employee code is input and the confirm button 67 is selected on the display screen (1) at the time of opening of the store (for example, immediately after startup), the employee code match determination is performed in the same manner as a normal login operation. Thereafter, biometric authentication is performed. If biometric authentication is successful, login is permitted and a store opening process is performed. In the store opening process, a business day (today) designation screen and a change confirmation screen prepared before the store opening are displayed. Further, a message (message from the headquarters) is received from the management server 10 and the received message is displayed. When a series of store opening processes is completed, the user is automatically logged out (logout without pressing the logout button), and the display screen returns to (1). The logout is not limited to automatic logout, and the logout may be performed when the clerk selects the logout button, when a certain period of time has elapsed, or when another clerk logs in.

(Display example when correcting (for example, canceling) a registered product)
FIG. 8 is a display example when canceling a registered product. The display screen shown in (11) of FIG. 8 shows a screen when a customer registers a product to be purchased, and specifically shows a registration screen at the time of accounting. On the display screen of (11), a plurality of registration buttons 71 corresponding to the products and registered products 72 corresponding to the registration buttons 71 selected by the store clerk are displayed. When the subtotal button 73 of the key operation unit 210 is operated while the display screen of (11) is displayed, registration of the registered product 72 is completed (stored as sales data) and a receipt can be issued. Become.

  Here, it is assumed that the cancel button 74 of the key operation unit 210 is operated in a state where the display screen of (11) is displayed. In this case, the registered product 72 is not canceled (deleted) immediately, and the display screen shown in (12) is displayed. The display screen of (12) shows a screen that requests the store clerk to input biometric information. When the clerk inserts a finger registered in advance into the biometric information detection unit 206 (see FIG. 2), biometric information is detected and biometric authentication is performed. If the authentication is successful, the display screen shown in (13) is displayed.

  On the other hand, when the authentication fails, an error screen indicating that the authentication has failed is displayed. In this case, the registered product 72 is not canceled. In addition, when a certain period of time has passed for authentication or an operation for canceling cancellation is performed, an error screen is displayed, and the registered product 72 is not canceled. The display screen (13) shows a confirmation screen as to whether or not to cancel registration of the registered product 72. When the affirmative button 75 indicating “Yes” is operated on the display screen of (13), the registered product 72 is cancelled. On the other hand, when the negative button 76 indicating “No” is operated, the registered product 72 is not canceled.

(Operation example when generating attendance information performed by the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the attendance information generated by the POS terminal 20 is generated.

Step S10: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not a predetermined button (for example, the person in charge button 82 in FIG. 8) for generating attendance information has been pressed. If the person in charge button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S18. If the person in charge button is not pressed, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S11.
Step S11: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not there is a touch on the clerk side display unit 209, operation of the key operation unit 210, scanning of the scanner unit 211, or the like. If there is no scan or the like, the process returns to step S10. If there is a scan or the like, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S12.
Step S12: The POS terminal 20 registers the product and displays it on the clerk side display unit 209, and proceeds to step S13.

Step S13: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the subtotal button of the key operation unit 210 has been pressed. If the subtotal button is not pressed, the process returns to step S10. When the subtotal button is pressed, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S14.
Step S14: The POS terminal 20 displays the small plan surface, and proceeds to step S15.
Step S15: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not a payment operation such as input of deposit or pressing of a current button has been accepted. The POS terminal 20 stands by until a settlement operation is accepted. When the settlement operation is accepted, the process proceeds to step S16.

Step S16: The POS terminal 20 performs a settlement process such as issuing a receipt, and proceeds to step S17. In the checkout process, deposits in the checkout process and change according to the current total may be released.
Step S17: The POS terminal 20 stores transaction history information (sales data) and ends a series of processes.

  Step S18: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not another store clerk is logging in. If another clerk is logged in, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to the first attendance authentication process (see FIG. 9) in step S19. If no other clerk is logged in, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to the second attendance authentication process (see FIG. 10) in step S20.

(Example of first attendance authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the first attendance authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20.

  Step S30: For example, the POS terminal 20 displays the display screen shown in (4) of FIG. 7, requests biometric information input, and proceeds to step S31. Although not shown in this flowchart, the process of displaying a screen for accepting the designation of attendance corresponding to the display screen of (2) in FIG. 7 before performing the input request of the biometric information in step S30. Or a screen for accepting an employee code from a clerk corresponding to the display screen of (3) in FIG. 7 is displayed, and whether or not the clerk information 40 of the employee code that matches the accepted employee code is stored. A process for performing a match determination is performed.

  Since other clerk is logged in, the display related to the attendance at work (for example, the display of (2) to (5) in FIG. 7) may be displayed on a small screen. In addition, when the POS terminal 20 is being used by another store clerk, such as during the registration of a product by another store clerk, a display related to the attendance at work may be displayed on a small screen. On the other hand, when the POS terminal 20 is not used, such as a state where the user is simply logged in, the display related to the attendance at work may be displayed on a normal screen (may not be displayed on a small screen).

Step S31: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the biological information is input from the biological information detection unit 206 when the biological information is detected by the biological information detection unit 206. The POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S34 when the biological information is input. When the POS terminal 20 does not input biometric information, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S32.
Step S32: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not it is a timeout due to the elapse of a reception period during which biometric authentication can be performed. If the POS terminal 20 is not timed out, the process returns to step S31. If it is timed out, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S33.

Step S33: The POS terminal 20 displays an error screen and proceeds to step S36. The error screen may be a different screen depending on the type of error (timeout, mismatch of biometric information).
Step S34: The POS terminal 20 performs biometric authentication as to whether or not the input biometric information matches the biometric information stored in advance. If they do not match in biometric authentication, the process proceeds to step S33. If they match in the biometric authentication, the process proceeds to step S35.

Step S35: The POS terminal 20 displays a time stamp completion screen (for example, the display screen (5) in FIG. 7), and proceeds to step S36. Note that on the time stamp completion screen, information indicating attendance such as attendance or leaving is displayed. Information indicating attendance is not limited to display output, and may be printed out on a time card or the like.
Step S36: The POS terminal 20 stores the attendance information (the attendance information 50 in FIG. 5), and returns to Step S10 in FIG. The attendance information is transmitted from the POS terminal 20 to the management server 10 and is also managed by the management server 10.

(Example of second attendance authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the second attendance authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20. In the description of FIG. 11, processes similar to those in FIG. 10 are denoted by the same step numbers and description thereof is omitted. The flowchart shown in FIG. 11 is different from the flowchart of FIG. 10 in that the process of step S37 is performed.

  Step S37: After step S35, the POS terminal 20 enters the state where the clerk who performed the attendance is logged in, and proceeds to step S36. In other words, if no other store clerk is logged in, the store clerk who performed the attendance will log in. On the other hand, as shown in the first attendance authentication process of FIG. 9, when another store clerk is logging in, the user is not logged in. In addition, before the process of step S37, it is determined whether or not it is time information indicating work (time information indicating work or return from going out), and when it is time information indicating work, it is assumed that login is performed. Also good. Also, in the case of attendance information indicating work leaving, not attendance information indicating work, that is, attendance information indicating work leaving or going out, it is unlikely that the store clerk will handle the POS terminal 20, so the login You may not do it.

(Operation example when canceling product registration performed by the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an operation example when canceling the registration of the product performed by the POS terminal 20.

Step S40: The POS terminal 20 determines whether there is a scan of the scanner unit 211 or the like. The POS terminal 20 stands by when there is no scan or the like, and proceeds to step S41 when there is a scan or the like.
Step S41: The POS terminal 20 registers the product and displays it on the clerk side display unit 209, and proceeds to step S42.
Step S42: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the cancel button of the key operation unit 210 has been pressed. When the cancel button is pressed, the process proceeds to the cancel authentication process (see FIG. 13) in step S52. If the cancel button is not pressed, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S43.

Step S43: When there is a product canceled in the cancellation authentication process of step S52 described later, the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the cancellation target is all products. If the canceled product is all products, the POS terminal 20 returns to step S40. If the canceled product is not all products, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S44.
Step S44: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the subtotal button of the key operation unit 210 has been pressed. If the subtotal button is not pressed, the process proceeds to step S45. When the subtotal button is pressed, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S47.

Step S45: The POS terminal 20 determines whether there is a scan of the scanner unit 211 or the like. If there is no scan or the like, the process returns to step S42. If there is a scan or the like, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S46.
Step S46: The POS terminal 20 registers the product and displays it on the clerk side display unit 209, and returns to step S42.
Step S47: The POS terminal 20 displays the small plan surface and proceeds to step S48.

Step S48: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the cancel button of the key operation unit 210 has been pressed. If the cancel button is pressed, the process proceeds to the cancel authentication process (see FIG. 13) in step S53. Although details will be described later, the revocation authentication process in step S53 may not be performed. If the cancel button is not pressed, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S49.
Step S49: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not a payment operation such as input of deposit or pressing of a current button has been accepted. When the POS terminal 20 does not accept the settlement operation, the POS terminal 20 returns to step S48. When the POS terminal 20 receives the settlement operation, the process proceeds to step S50.

Step S50: The POS terminal 20 performs a settlement process such as issuing a receipt, and proceeds to step S51.
Step S51: The POS terminal 20 stores transaction history information and ends a series of processes.

(An example of revocation authentication processing performed by the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the revocation authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20. The cancel authentication process in step S52 and the cancel authentication process in step S53 shown in FIG. 12 have the same processing contents, and therefore the process in step S52 will be described.

Step S60: For example, the POS terminal 20 displays the display screen shown in (12) of FIG. 8, requests input of biometric information, and proceeds to step S61.
Step S61: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not biometric information has been input. The POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S62 when the biological information is input. If the POS terminal 20 does not input biometric information, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S64.
Step S62: The POS terminal 20 performs biometric authentication as to whether or not the input biometric information matches prestored biometric information. If they do not match in the biometric authentication, the process proceeds to step S66. If they match in the biometric authentication, the process proceeds to step S63.

Step S63: The POS terminal 20 accepts the selection of any of the registered products displayed on the clerk side display unit 209, cancels the registration of the received product, and proceeds to Step S67. Before canceling the product, the POS terminal 20 displays a confirmation screen (for example, the display screen of (3) in FIG. 8), and cancels when the selection to cancel the registration of the product is received. .
Step S64: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not to cancel the product cancellation. The determination whether or not to cancel the cancellation of the product is specifically a determination whether or not the cancellation button is pressed. When canceling the cancellation of the product, the process proceeds to step S66. If cancellation of the product is not canceled, the process proceeds to step S65.

Step S65: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not it is a timeout due to the elapse of a reception period during which biometric authentication can be performed. If it is not a timeout, the process returns to step S61. If it is timed out, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S66.
Step S66: The POS terminal 20 displays an error screen and proceeds to step S67. Note that the error screen may be a different screen depending on the type of error (cancellation cancellation, timeout, biometric information mismatch).
Step S67: The POS terminal 20 stores the correction operation information (correction operation information 60 in FIG. 6), and proceeds to step S43 in FIG. In the case of the cancellation authentication process in step S53 shown in FIG. 12, the process returns to step S40 in FIG. 12 after the process in step S67. The correction operation information is transmitted from the POS terminal 20 to the management server 10 and is also managed by the management server 10.

  The stored correction operation information includes information indicating that there is an instruction to delete the registration of the product (for example, information on the time when the cancel button is pressed and information on the product to be deleted). In addition, the correction operation information is a request for input of biometric information in place of the information indicating that the registration of the product has been deleted or together with the information indicating that the registration of the product has been deleted. (For example, information on the time when a screen for requesting the store clerk to input biometric information or information on a product to be deleted) may be included. As shown in FIG. 6, the correction operation information includes information (“situation”) indicating subsequent progress corresponding to information indicating that an instruction to delete registration of a product has been issued.

  As a result, it is also possible to store information when the store clerk performs the deletion operation but does not actually delete it (for example, when cancellation of the product is canceled or biometric information does not match). For this reason, for example, the store user can analyze the tendency and the situation of shop assistants who are frequently canceled during registration of specific products such as drinks, and identify shoppers who may be fraudulent. be able to. Further, since the store user can monitor the store clerk or listen to the reason for canceling, the store clerk can be prevented from being fraudulent.

  When the registered item is canceled without operating the subtotal button, the correction operation information to be stored may include information on whether or not the cash storage unit 208 has been opened. This is because it is assumed that the store clerk once pays the cash received from the customer to the cash storage unit 208 (or pretends to do so) so as not to be suspicious of the clothes from customers and other store clerk. It is. Moreover, it is because it is assumed that when there is fishing for the customer who gave out cash, the fishing is taken out from the cash storage unit 208 and delivered to the customer. In addition, it is assumed that the amount corresponding to the change taken out from the cash storage unit 208 will be compensated later by a fraudulent store clerk.

  In this way, if the registered item is canceled without operating the subtotal button, the cash storage unit 208 may be released within a predetermined period after the cancellation operation is performed. Information regarding whether or not the unit 208 has been opened may be included in the correction operation information. The predetermined period mentioned here may be, for example, several tens of seconds, a period until the store clerk logs out, or a period until the next product registration is performed. In order to obtain information on whether or not the cash storage unit 208 has been opened, for example, a sensor that detects the open state of the cash storage unit 208 may be provided, and the detection result of the sensor may be used. A result indicating that an operation for opening 208 (for example, pressing of the exchange key of the key operation unit 210) is accepted may be used.

  Further, before the cancellation authentication process (S52) shown in FIG. 13, a product to be canceled is received and it is determined whether or not the received cancellation target product is a specific product (for example, a drink). It is good. In this determination, when the product to be canceled is a specific product, the cancellation authentication process is performed. On the other hand, when the product to be canceled is not a specific product, the cancellation authentication process may not be performed.

  In other words, when an instruction to cancel registration of a specific product is received, input of biometric information is requested, while when an instruction to delete registration of a product other than the specific product is received, the biometric information No input may be requested. In this case, the registration of the specific product may be canceled when an instruction to cancel the registration of the specific product is received and the authentication using the input biometric information is successful.

  Further, the revocation authentication process of S53 shown in FIG. 12 may not be performed. This is because the information on the registered product is stored in the sales data by accepting an instruction to complete registration of the product (for example, operation of “subtotal button”). This is because it is difficult for the fraud to be performed and dress the money received from the customer.

  In other words, when an instruction to cancel registration of a product is received (before pressing the subtotal button: before step S44 in FIG. 12) before receiving an instruction to complete registration of the product (the cancel button is pressed). In the case of step S42 in FIG. 12, the input of the biometric information is requested (step S60 in FIG. 13), while the biometric information is input when the cancel button is pressed after the subtotal button is pressed (step S48 in FIG. 12). May not be requested. In this case, when the cancel button is pressed before the subtotal button is operated and the authentication using the input biometric information (step S61) is successful (step S62), the registration of the product is canceled. (Step S63).

  In the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, biometric authentication is performed when canceling product registration. However, the correction operation is not limited to canceling product registration, and other correction operations other than canceling a product are performed. When performing, biometric authentication may be performed. For example, biometric authentication may be performed when correction is performed to increase the number of products, or when another correction operation such as correction of an input amount is performed. Thus, for example, by accumulating correction history, it is possible to specify a store clerk with many correction operations (a store clerk with many input mistakes) or specify a type of operation with many corrections. Therefore, since a store clerk with many corrections can be specified, the store clerk can be instructed or monitored for operation. In addition, since operations with many corrections can be identified, it can be used for business improvement.

(Modification of the embodiment)
Next, a modification of the embodiment will be described. In the embodiment described above, the POS terminal 20 has been described as being able to log in only by one store clerk. In the following modified example, a case where a plurality of salesclerks can log in will be described.

  In the modification, the POS terminal 20 includes a reader for short-range wireless communication such as RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) and NFC (Near Field Communication). The POS terminal 20 uses the reader to detect a tag (RFID tag or NFC tag) possessed by the store clerk, and identifies the employee using the employee code stored in the tag.

  Then, the POS terminal 20 displays all the clerk names and identification numbers detected using the reader in a selectable manner on the screen of the clerk-side display unit 209, and from among them, the clerk who actually starts the operation himself / herself It is also possible to start the registration operation by selecting the name and the identification number. The POS terminal 20 can also identify a nearby clerk based on the radio wave intensity detected by the reader, and permit the operation by the clerk. Thereby, the POS terminal 20 can log a plurality of shop assistants simultaneously.

  In addition, the POS terminal 20 may log in the store clerk when both the radio wave intensity is equal to or higher than the predetermined value and the user's name is received from the store clerk. If either of them is satisfied, the store clerk may be logged in. For example, the POS terminal 20 may automatically log in when the radio field intensity is a predetermined value or more. Further, the POS terminal 20 may automatically log out when the radio wave intensity becomes less than a predetermined value. In addition, a clerk with the highest radio field intensity (the nearest clerk) may be automatically logged in.

(Modification of operation when generating attendance information performed by POS terminal 20)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example when the attendance information generated by the POS terminal 20 is generated.

(Variation of attendance authentication process)
Next, a modified example of the attendance authentication process will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a modified example of the attendance authentication process. In the description of FIG. 14, the same steps as those in FIG. 9 are denoted by the same step numbers, and the description thereof is omitted. The flowchart shown in FIG. 14 is different from the flowchart of FIG. 9 in that the process of step S70 is performed.
Step S70: When the person-in-charge button is pressed in step S10, the POS terminal 20 performs the third attendance authentication process and returns to step S10. That is, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 14, the third attendance authentication process is performed regardless of whether another store clerk is logged in or not.

(Example of third attendance authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20)
FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the second attendance authentication process performed by the POS terminal 20. In the description of FIG. 15, processes similar to those in FIGS. 10 and 11 are denoted by the same step numbers and description thereof is omitted.

  Step S81: After the step S35, the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not to log in. Specifically, the POS terminal 20 displays the name and identification number of the store clerk who has completed the work attendance, and accepts the selection of whether or not to log in. Further, the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the store clerk is nearby based on the detected radio field intensity using the detection result of the RFID tag or the like that the store clerk has.

  The POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S37 when logging in, that is, when receiving a log-in request from a store clerk, or when the radio wave intensity of an RFID tag or the like is a predetermined value or more. On the other hand, when the POS terminal 20 does not log in, that is, when it is accepted that the login is not made from the store clerk, or when the radio wave intensity of the RFID tag or the like is less than a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step S82.

  Step S82: The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not a predetermined time during which login can be accepted has elapsed. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the POS terminal 20 returns to step S81. When the predetermined time has elapsed, the POS terminal 20 proceeds to step S36.

  According to the above-described modified example, even when another clerk is logging in, the other clerk can log in without logging out the clerk, so that work efficiency can be improved. Specifically, even when other clerk is using (even when logged in), the attendance can be stamped and the clerk who entered the attendance can also log in. it can. Therefore, since the attendance is performed and the operation is permitted (the work at the time of attendance also serves as the work at the time of login), it is possible to manage the attendance while improving the efficiency of the work. In other words, since it is not necessary to perform biometric authentication again when registering a product immediately after engraving, compared to performing biometric authentication again, less time is spent and less time is spent waiting for customers. .

  Additional notes are disclosed below.

(Appendix 1)
A sales data processing apparatus used in a store, comprising: a registration means for registering a product; an input means for inputting biometric information of a store clerk; biometric information input by the input means; and biometric information stored in advance A sales data processing apparatus comprising: a generation unit that generates attendance information for a store clerk corresponding to the biometric information when they match.

  According to Supplementary Note 1, attendance management can be performed more suitably. In other words, attendance information is generated in the sales data processing device for registering products (since the sales data processing device also serves as the attendance input device), so attendance management can be carried out advantageously in terms of cost. In addition, since attendance information is generated when the biometric information matches, management of attendance with high reliability can be performed. That is, fraud (spoofing) by a person other than the person can be prevented. In addition, since biometric information is used, there is less burden compared to using a time card, an employee ID card, and a portable terminal (thing owned by an individual or loaned from an organization), which is advantageous in terms of operation. In addition, even when the work location is not fixed (for example, when working at another branch or store different from usual), the biometric information is stored in an accessible external device, and the biometric information is stored in the external device. By inquiring, you can operate as usual.

(Appendix 2)
An operation permission means for permitting the operation of the salesclerk to the sales data processing apparatus, wherein the registration means registers a product as a registration operation of the salesclerk who is permitted to operate by the operation permission means, and the operation permission The sales data processing apparatus according to appendix 1, wherein the means permits the sales clerk to operate the sales data processing apparatus based on the fact that the generation means generates the attendance information of one clerk.

  According to Supplementary Note 2, attendance management can be more suitably performed. That is, since the operation is permitted based on the fact that the attendance information is generated (for example, the work at the time of attendance also serves as the work at the time of login), it is possible to manage attendance while improving the efficiency of the work. . In other words, since it is not necessary to perform biometric authentication again when registering a product immediately after engraving, compared to performing biometric authentication again, less time is spent and less time is spent waiting for customers. .

(Appendix 3)
The operation permitting means permits the operation of the store clerk when the attendance information of one store clerk is generated by the generating means, when the other store clerk is not operating, and when the other store clerk is operating Item 3. The sales data processing device according to appendix 2, wherein operation of the store clerk is not permitted.

  According to Supplementary Note 3, attendance management can be more suitably performed. That is, it is convenient because attendance information can be generated even when another store clerk is using it (for example, when logged in). In addition, when another store clerk is using it, even if attendance information is generated, the user is not logged in, so the other store clerk's business is not affected. Therefore, for example, when a certain store clerk goes to work, the other store clerk does not need to interrupt the product registration and the product registration can be continued, so that a customer does not wait for a certain store clerk to go to work.

(Appendix 4)
The generating means generates work clerk information corresponding to the biometric information when the biometric information input by the input means and the prestored biometric information match, and the sales data processing device Even when one store clerk is operating, the other store clerk's leaving information is generated, and the operation permitting unit is operated by another store clerk when the generating unit generates the one store clerk's leaving information. The sales data processing device according to appendix 2 or appendix 3, wherein the operation of the store clerk is not permitted regardless of whether or not.

  According to Supplementary Note 4, attendance management can be more suitably performed. That is, when leaving information is generated (at the time of leaving work), no other operation (such as logout) is required because the user is not logged in even if the other store clerk is not using it.

(Appendix 5)
Correction instruction means for accepting an instruction to correct registration of the product registered by the registration means, request means for requesting input of biometric information by the input means, and correction of registration of the product registered by the registration means Correction execution means, and the correction execution means receives the instruction to correct the registration of the product by the correction instruction means and then receives the biometric input by the input means in response to the request from the request means The sales data processing device according to any one of appendix 1 to appendix 4, wherein the registration of the product instructed by the correction instructing means is corrected when the information matches the biometric information stored in advance. .

  According to Supplementary Note 5, correction of registered merchandise can be suitably managed. That is, when the biometric information matches, the registered merchandise is corrected, so that the correctness of the correction operation can be managed while accurately identifying the store clerk who performed the correction operation later. .

(Appendix 6)
The request unit requests input of biometric information when receiving an instruction to correct registration of a specific product by the correction instruction unit, and corrects registration of a product other than the specific product by the correction instruction unit. When the instruction to do so is received, input of biometric information is not requested, the correction execution means accepts an instruction to correct registration of a specific product by the correction instruction means, and the request means requests The registration of the product instructed by the correction instructing means is corrected when the biometric information input by the input means in response to the biometric information stored in advance is matched. Sales data processing equipment.

  According to Supplementary Note 6, correction of registered merchandise can be suitably managed. That is, since the management target is limited to correction of registration of a specific product (for example, liquid product), correction of the registered product can be managed efficiently while reducing the burden. For example, since liquid products such as coffee that are difficult to manage and whose quantity is difficult to manage are monitored focusing on corrective actions, there is a drop in convenience due to too many monitoring targets (input biometric information each time Can be reduced.

(Appendix 7)
Registration completion instruction means for receiving an instruction to complete registration of the product by the registration means, and the requesting means is provided by the correction instruction means before the instruction to complete registration of the product by the registration completion instruction means. When an instruction to correct registration of the product is received, input of biometric information is requested. On the other hand, after the instruction to complete registration of the product by the registration completion instruction unit, registration of the product by the correction instruction unit is requested. When an instruction to correct is received, input of biometric information is not requested, and the correction execution means is a product by the correction instruction means before an instruction to complete registration of the goods by the registration completion instruction means. The biometric information inputted by the input means in response to a request from the request means and the pre-stored biometric information are identical. When, sales data processing apparatus according to note 5 or Appendix 6, characterized in that to correct the registration of the product indicated by the correction instruction means.

  According to Supplementary Note 7, correction of registered merchandise can be suitably managed. That is, since the management target is limited before an instruction to complete registration of the product (operation of the subtotal key), correction of the registered product can be managed efficiently while reducing the burden. That is, since the corrective action (correction etc.) of the product after the operation of the subtotal key is not monitored while the correction is accurately monitored before the operation of the subtotal key that is likely to be fraudulent (however, it may be stored as transaction information) ), It is possible to suppress a decrease in convenience due to excessive monitoring targets.

(Appendix 8)
Storage means for storing at least one of the information that the instruction to correct the registration of the product by the correction instruction means or the information that the request is made by the request means. The sales data processing device according to any one of appendix 5 to appendix 7, which is characterized.

  According to Supplementary Note 8, correction of registered merchandise can be suitably managed. In other words, since information is also stored when a correction operation is performed but is not actually corrected (for example, when correction is stopped), the corrective action of the registered product (for example, an illegal correction action that has been attempted unsuccessfully) Can be suitably managed.

(Appendix 9)
A program for causing a computer to function as a sales data processing device, wherein the computer stores registration means for registering merchandise, input means for inputting biometric information of a store clerk, biological information input by the input means, and stored in advance A program that functions as a generation unit that generates attendance information for a clerk corresponding to the biometric information when the biometric information matches.
