  The output unit 104 has a function of outputting the discounted information including the calculated first discounted amount and the applied tax rate to the printer 3 which is an external device.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the control process of the handy terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the control section 100 (input means 101) determines whether or not the symbol reading section 19 has inputted the symbol information by reading the symbol attached to the product (S11). If it is determined that the symbol information has been input (Yes in S11), the control section 100 stores the input symbol information in the symbol information section 131. Then, the control unit 100 inquires of the server 5 about the product information of the product based on the stored symbol information (S12).

  The server 5 having received the inquiry acquires the corresponding product code based on the received symbol information. Then, the server 5 searches the product master 51 based on the obtained product code, and reads out product information (product name, product price (excluding tax), applicable tax rate) associated with the product code. Then, the server 5 transmits (responds) the read product information to the handy terminal 1 that has made the inquiry.

  The control unit 100 (product specifying information obtaining means 102) of the handy terminal 1 determines whether or not product information has been received from the server 5 as a response to the inquiry (S13). The control unit 100 waits until the product information is received from the server 5 (No in S13), and determines that the product information is received from the server 5 (Yes in S13), based on the received product information, The tax-included amount of the product is calculated. That is, the control unit 100 acquires the price of the product and the applicable tax rate. Then, the control unit 100 stores the product code of the product, the product name, the tax-excluded price of the product, the tax-included price (calculated from the tax-excluded price and the tax rate), and the applicable tax rate in the product information unit 132 (S14). Then, the control unit 100 displays the stored product code, product name, tax-excluded price, tax-included price, and applicable tax rate on the display unit 17 (S15). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  If it is determined in S11 that the symbol information has not been input (No in S11), the control unit 100 determines whether discount information has been input (S21). The discount information is information for discounting a product, and includes, for example, a discount amount (a discount amount), a discount rate (or a discount rate), and the like. The discount information is input from the operation unit 18, for example. If it is determined that the discount information has been input (Yes in S21), the control unit 100 (calculation means 103) calculates the first discount amount based on the product price (tax-excluded amount) and the discount information. Calculate the amount after tax (excluding tax). Further, the control unit 100 calculates a second discount amount (after tax), which is the second discount amount, based on the discount amount (excluding tax) and the applicable tax rate (S22). This calculation method is, for example, to calculate the discounted price (excluding tax) by subtracting the discounted price from the price of the product (tax-excluded amount), and to calculate the calculated discounted amount (excluding tax) and the product information section 132. The discounted amount (including tax) is calculated based on the stored applicable tax rate. In addition, for example, the discount amount is subtracted from the tax-included amount stored in the product information section 132 to calculate the first discount amount, the discount amount (tax included), and the calculated discount amount (tax included) and the product Based on the applicable tax rate stored in the information section 132, the second discounted amount (after-tax amount) may be calculated.

  Next, the control unit 100 stores the calculated discount amount (excluding tax), the discount amount (tax included), the discount amount (excluding tax), the discount amount (tax included), and the applicable tax rate in the discount information unit 133. (S23). Then, the control unit 100 displays the stored discounted amount (excluding tax), the discounted amount (tax included), the discounted amount (excluding tax), the discounted amount (tax included), and the applicable tax rate on the display unit 17 (S24). ). Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11. The discounted amount (excluding tax), the discounted amount (tax included), the discounted amount (tax excluded), the discounted amount (tax included), and the applicable tax rate are collectively referred to as after-discount information.

  If it is determined in S21 that the discount information has not been input (No in S21), the control unit 100 determines whether the print button 181 has been operated (S31). When determining that the print button 181 has been operated (Yes in S31), the control unit 100 (output unit 104) transmits the post-discount information stored in the discount information unit 133 via the communication I / F 21. The data is transmitted to the printer 3 (S32). When transmitting to the printer 3, the control unit 100 also transmits bar-coded information of the discounted information. Then, the control unit 100 returns to S11.

  The control unit 300 of the printer 3 prints the received discount information on the label using the printing unit 39, and issues a discount label. The control unit 300 also prints bar-coded information on the discounted information on the discount label.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a discount label printed by the printer 3. As shown in FIG. 6, the label L includes a discount amount (tax included) L1, a discount amount (tax excluded) L2, a discount amount (tax included) L3, a discount amount (tax excluded) L4, and an applicable tax rate L5. Printed. Further, the label L is a symbol that codes the discounted amount (tax included) L1, the discounted amount (tax excluded) L2, the discounted amount (tax included) L3, the discounted amount (tax excluded) L4, and the applicable tax rate L5. A certain barcode L6 is printed.

  According to such an embodiment, the operator of the handy terminal 1 inputs the symbol information from the symbol attached to the product to be discounted by the handy terminal 1. The handy terminal 1 makes an inquiry to the server 5 based on the input symbol information. The server 5 extracts merchandise information of the merchandise based on the inquired symbol information and transmits the extracted merchandise information to the handy terminal 1. The handy terminal 1 that has received the product information receives the discount information that has been input, that is, the discount amount (excluding tax) and the discount amount (tax included), the discount amount (tax excluded), and the discount amount (tax included) of the product. ) And the applicable tax rate are transmitted to the printer 3. The handy terminal 1 also transmits the bar code graphic information obtained by encoding the discounted information.

  The printer 3 which has received the information issues the discount information and the discount label on which the barcode obtained by encoding the discount information is printed.

  Therefore, for example, if the discount processing of the information of the product for take-out is performed by mistake for the normal product consumed in the store, the applicable tax rate is printed on the discount label, so that a mistake is noticed. For this reason, it is possible to prevent an error in the applied tax rate applied to the discounted product.
