(Overview of each operation mode)
Next, the operation mode of the POS terminal 20 will be described. The POS terminal 20 has a plurality of operation modes. For example, the POS terminal 20 has a normal mode, a full self mode, and a semi self mode. The operation mode described below is an operation mode during normal business (operation mode relating to product registration processing and accounting processing), and is an aggregation mode for totalizing and inquiring sales and occupancy, etc. It does not include a maintenance mode for performing setting work or maintenance work, a training mode for newcomer training, and the like.

  4 to 6 are diagrams for explaining the outline of the operation mode of the POS terminal 20. FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an outline of the normal mode. FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram showing the flow of processing (product registration processing, accounting processing) and the operation of a person (store clerk, customer) in the normal mode, and FIG. 4B is a schematic diagram of the POS terminal 20 in the normal mode. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a basic flow of an operation. FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating the full self mode. FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram showing the flow of processing (product registration processing, accounting processing) and the operation of a person (customer) in the full self mode, and FIG. 5B is a diagram of the POS terminal 20 in the full self mode. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a basic flow of an operation. FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically illustrating the semi-self mode. FIG. 6A is a schematic diagram showing the flow of processing (product registration processing, accounting processing) and the operation of a person (customer) in the semi-self mode, and FIGS. 6B and 6C are figures in the semi-self mode. 4 is a flowchart showing a basic flow of an operation of the POS terminal 20.

  In the following description, as a different aspect from the above-described classification of the operation modes (the normal mode, the full self mode, and the semi self mode), the POS terminal 20 sets the mode in which the product registration process is executed to the registration mode and the settlement process. The execution mode may be referred to as an accounting mode.

(Normal mode)
The normal mode is an operation mode in which a clerk performs a registration process and a customer performs a settlement process, as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 4B, in the normal mode, the clerk enters the registration mode, and the customer enters the accounting mode. That is, the POS terminal 20 operates in the registration and accounting mode when viewed from the entire registration processing to the settlement processing.

  In the case of the normal mode, the clerk registers the purchased product of the customer on the clerk side (the clerk side scanner section 212, the clerk side display section 210, the key operation section 211). That is, the POS terminal 20 executes the registration process of the purchased product by the operation of the clerk (operation of the clerk-side scanner unit 212, the clerk-side display unit 210, the key operation unit 211, and the like) (the upper part of FIG. 4A). .

  When the registration process by the clerk is completed, the customer checks the total price of the purchased merchandise on the clerk-side display unit 210, inserts money into the change machine 209, or operates the card settlement unit 208 to make a payment (FIG. 4). (A) lower). That is, the POS terminal 20 executes the settlement process by a customer operation or the like (insertion of money into the change machine 209, operation of the card settlement unit 208) (the lower part of FIG. 4A).

  That is, in the normal mode, as shown in FIG. 4B, the salesclerk first scans the product by the salesclerk-side scanner unit 212, for example (step S10: YES), and registers the product (step S11). After pressing a subtotal key (for example, a subtotal key displayed on the clerk side display unit 210 or a subtotal key arranged on the key operation unit 211) (step S30: YES), the customer side, for example, the change machine 209 (Step S50), and the process is completed. In step S30, the subtotal key is an operation key for completing the registration process, and may be referred to as a subtotal button, a registration completion key, a registration completion button, a checkout key, a checkout button, or the like.

  The customer may wait until the clerk completes the registration process (until the total amount is determined), or may put money into the change machine 209 before the registration process is completed. That is, the POS terminal 20 can accept payment during the registration process (the upper part of FIG. 4A).

  The clerk may wait until the customer completes the payment (until the customer takes a change or receipt), or may register the next customer's purchased product. In other words, the POS terminal 20 can register the purchased product of the next customer during the settlement process (the lower part of FIG. 4A). Also, the clerk may be absent during the checkout by the customer (lower part of FIG. 4A). That is, during the checkout of the customer, the reception of the customer may be ended.

  In addition, when there is change, the POS terminal 20 controls the dispensing of change and bills by the change machine 209 to prevent forgetting to take the change, and a sensor or the like detects that the customer has removed the change or bill. , And controls the printing unit 213 to issue a receipt. The same applies to other operation modes. As described above, in the normal mode, there may be a case where a clerk is present in front of a customer who receives change, and when there is a clerk, it is not always necessary to perform the above-described control (ie, change). -Payment of a bill and issuing of a receipt may be performed at the same time, or a receipt may be issued first). In addition, the timing of paying out change and bills and issuing a receipt may be controlled in accordance with the current operation mode and the presence / absence of a clerk (for example, the presence / absence of a clerk is recognized by a sensor).

(Full self mode)
The full self mode is an operation mode in which a customer performs a registration process and a customer performs a settlement process, as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), in the case of the full self mode, the customer enters both the registration mode and the accounting mode. That is, the POS terminal 20 operates in the registration and accounting mode when viewed from the entire registration processing to the settlement processing.

  In the case of the full self mode, the customer registers the purchased product on the customer side (the customer side scanner unit 206 and the customer side display unit 205). That is, the POS terminal 20 executes the registration process of the purchased product by the operation of the customer (scan by the customer-side scanner unit 206, touch on the customer-side display unit 205) (the upper part of FIG. 5A).

  When the registration process is completed, the customer checks the total price of the purchased merchandise on the customer-side display unit 205, inserts money into the change machine 209, or operates the card settlement unit 208 to make a payment (FIG. 5A ) Lower row). That is, the POS terminal 20 executes the settlement process by a customer operation or the like (insertion of money into the change machine 209, operation of the card settlement unit 208) (the lower part of FIG. 5A).

  That is, in the full self-mode, as shown in FIG. 5B, on the customer side, for example, a product is scanned by the customer-side scanner unit 206 (step S20: YES), and the product is registered (step S21). After the registration completion key (for example, the registration completion key displayed on the customer side display unit 205) is pressed (step S40: YES), the customer's side performs settlement by, for example, the change machine 209 (step S50). Is completed. The registration completion key according to step S40 is an operation key for completing the registration process, and may be referred to as a registration completion button, a subtotal key, a subtotal button, a checkout key, a checkout button, or the like.

  In the full self mode, as described above, both the registration process and the settlement process are performed on the customer side, but this does not mean that the clerk cannot do anything. That is, even when the POS terminal 20 is operating in the full self mode, for example, the clerk side scanner unit 212 can scan the clerk code. Note that a state (operation mode) in which the registration process is executed on both the clerk side and the customer side may be referred to as a double scan mode.

  A transition condition from another operation mode to the double scan mode may be settable. Examples of the transition condition include a clerk code input and a password input. By setting the transition condition, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation from the clerk. Further, whether to execute the double scan mode may be set. In this case, if it is set not to execute the double scan mode, no operation in the double scan mode is permitted. The transition conditions and whether or not the double scan mode can be executed may be set as initial settings.

(Semi-self mode)
The semi-self mode is distinguished between a registration-only mode in which a clerk performs registration processing and an accounting-only mode in which a customer performs payment processing. In the example of FIG. 6, the POS terminal 20-1 operates in the registration-only mode, and the POS terminal 20-2 operates in the accounting-only mode.

  In the case of the semi-self mode, the clerk uses the POS terminal 20-1 in the registration-only mode to register the purchased product of the customer on the clerk side (the clerk side scanner section 212, the clerk side display section 210, the key operation section 211). In other words, the POS terminal 20-1 executes the registration process of the purchased product by the operation of the clerk (operation of the clerk-side scanner unit 212, the clerk-side display unit 210, the key operation unit 211, and the like) (see FIG. 6A). Upper).

  When the registration process by the clerk is completed, the customer moves to the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode, checks the total price of the purchased product on the clerk-side display unit 210, and inserts money into the change machine 209, or The card settlement unit 208 is operated to perform the settlement (lower part in FIG. 6A). That is, the POS terminal 20-2 executes the settlement process by a customer operation or the like (insertion of money into the change machine 209, operation of the card settlement unit 208) (the lower part of FIG. 6A).

  When the registration process is completed at the POS terminal 20 in the registration-only mode (the POS terminal 20-1 in the example of FIG. 6), the customer moves from the POS terminal 20 in the registration-only mode to the POS terminal 20 in the accounting-only mode (the example in FIG. 6). Then, the user moves to the POS terminal 20-2), but information (registration information and the like) necessary for the settlement process is supplied to the destination POS terminal 20.

  A method of supplying information necessary for the settlement process from the POS terminal 20 in the registration only mode (the POS terminal 20-1 in the example of FIG. 6) to the POS terminal 20 in the accounting only mode (the POS terminal 20-2 in the example of FIG. 6). A method for transmitting information required for the settlement process from the POS terminal 20 in the registration only mode to the POS terminal 20 in the accounting only mode (may be transmitted via the store controller 30; the same applies hereinafter), a registration only mode The POS terminal 20 issues a medium (a medium on which a barcode or the like for acquiring information necessary for settlement processing is printed).

In the example of FIG. 6, there is only one POS terminal 20 in the accounting-only mode (POS terminal 20-2). However, if there are two or more POS terminals 20 in the accounting-only mode, Alternatively, the POS terminal 20 (POS terminal 20 in the accounting-only mode) for executing the settlement process may be designated in the POS terminal 20 in the registration-only mode (the POS terminal 20-1 in the example of FIG. 6).
When the POS terminal 20 in the registration-only mode issues a medium (medium on which a barcode or the like for acquiring information necessary for the payment processing is printed), the POS terminal 20 in the accounting-only mode reads the medium. The settlement process is executed in the terminal 20.

  That is, in the semi-self mode, first, the clerk of the POS terminal 20 (POS terminal 20-1) in the registration-only mode registers a product. For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, the merchandise is registered by scanning with the clerk-side scanner unit 212 (step S10: YES) (step S11). After pressing a subtotal key (for example, a subtotal key displayed on the clerk side display unit 210 or a subtotal key arranged on the key operation unit 211) (step S30: YES), for example, the POS terminal 20 ( When the POS terminal 20-2) is specified (step S31: YES), the registration information is transmitted to the specified POS terminal 20 (step S32), and the process is completed.

  In the example of FIG. 6B, the processing procedure is such that the subtotal key is pressed at the end of the product registration, and then the POS terminal 20 is specified (after the subtotal key is pressed). Sometimes, the processing procedure may be such that the POS terminal 20 is specified directly (without pressing the subtotal key). In the latter case, the subtotal key need not be displayed on the screen.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6C, the POS terminal 20 (POS terminal 20-2) designated by the POS terminal 20 (POS terminal 20-1) in the registration only mode receives the registration information (step S1). (S49: YES), the customer makes a settlement by, for example, the change machine 209 (step S50), and the process is completed.

  Note that, after transmitting the registration information (or after issuing the medium), the clerk can register the purchased product of the next customer (the lower part of FIG. 6A). After transmitting the registration information, the clerk may be absent (lower part of FIG. 6A).

  In the example of FIG. 6, the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode uses the registration information of the product registered in the POS terminal 20-1 in the registration-only mode to execute the settlement process. That is, the registration information used by the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode for the payment process is the registration information of the product registered when the POS terminal 20-1 operates in the registration-only mode. However, if the registration information can be transmitted to the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode (or if the voucher can be issued), the registration information used by the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode for the settlement process is However, the information does not necessarily have to be the registration information of the product registered when the POS terminal 20-1 operates in the registration only mode.

  As an example, the registration information used by the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode for the payment process may be registration information of a product registered when the POS terminal 20-1 operates in the normal mode. That is, the POS terminal 20-2 in the accounting-only mode may execute the settlement process using the registration information of the product registered when the POS terminal 20-1 operates in the normal mode.

  When the clerk of the POS terminal 20-1 completes the registration process (when transmitting registration information or issuing a cash voucher), the customer performs a settlement operation (to the change machine 209). , The operation of the card settlement unit 208) has already been started, the transmission of registration information or the issuance of a bill may be prohibited, or the operation of settlement may be cancelled.

  In the example of FIG. 6, the POS terminal 20-2 receives the registration information (or reads the bill) and performs the settlement process when operating in the accounting-only mode. However, if the settlement process can be executed after receiving the registration information (or after reading the bill), the operation when the POS terminal 20-2 receives the registration information (or reads the bill) The mode need not necessarily be the accounting-only mode.

  As an example, when operating in the full self mode, the POS terminal 20-2 receives registration information from the POS terminal 20-1 and executes a checkout process using the registration information received from another terminal. Good. Note that the POS terminal 20-2 shifts from the full self mode to the accounting-only mode before executing the settlement process using the registration information received from the other terminal (the registration received from the other terminal as the accounting process in the accounting-only mode). Process information). Note that the POS terminal 20-2 may or may not shift from the full self mode to the accounting only mode before executing the payment process using the registration information received from another terminal (as a payment process in the full self mode). The registration information received from another terminal may be processed).

(Transition of operation mode)
The POS terminal 20 operates according to an explicit mode shift operation by a clerk (for example, an input on the screen, a selection operation, etc.), and another operation other than the explicit mode shift operation by a clerk (for example, reading of a clerk code). The mode changes. The POS terminal 20 operates in an operation mode based on predetermined conditions that do not depend on the operation of the clerk (conditions related to time such as an elapsed time or a predetermined time (schedule), conditions related to transmission / reception of information with another terminal or the like). Will migrate.

  Next, sales of specific products for which purchase conditions are defined will be described. Specific products for which purchase conditions are defined include age-restricted products such as alcohol and tobacco. The purchase condition in this case is that the customer is an adult. In addition to age-restricted products, some chemicals also fall under specific products. In this case, the purchase conditions include submission of documents and presentation of an ID card. The sale of such a specific product is permitted when it is input that the purchase condition is satisfied. On the other hand, when it is input that the purchase condition is not satisfied, the sale is prohibited. In the following description, an age-restricted product will be described as an example of the specific product.

  In the present embodiment, in the normal mode and the semi-self mode, a button that can be pressed by a store clerk (hereinafter, referred to as a “store-side year-end button”) is used as an age confirmation button for inputting that the customer is an adult. ) And a button that can be pressed by the customer (hereinafter referred to as a “customer-side year-end button”). The shop-side year-end button is displayed on the clerk-side display section 210. The customer-side annual probabilities button is displayed on the customer-side display unit 205. As described above, in the present embodiment, the customer can input that the purchase condition is satisfied, based on the judgment of the clerk. In this case, the sale of the age-restricted product is permitted even if the customer does not press the customer-side year certainty button. When there is no particular distinction between the shop-side annual button and the customer-side annual button, they are simply referred to as the annual button.

  In the prior art, the customer-side annual probabilities button could be pressed after registration of the age-restricted product, but in the present embodiment, if the product is being registered, it can be pressed even before the age-restricted product is registered. can do. Therefore, the clerk and the customer can press the yearly button from the time when the product can be registered (for example, when the clerk logs in to the POS terminal 20 or when the payment for the previous customer is completed). it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, if the store clerk presses the store-side year-end button again after pressing the store-side year-end button, the pressing of the store-side year end button is canceled. That is, if the store clerk determines that the purchase conditions are satisfied, and presses the store-side annuality button, and then determines that it is better to have the customer press the customer-side annuality button, the store clerk presses the store-side annuality button. Pressing can be canceled.

  For example, when the clerk presses the store year-end confirmation button and the cigarette is registered, the age confirmation screen described later is not displayed on the customer side display unit 205 at that time, but thereafter, the store clerk again operates the store-side year confirmation button. Is pressed, and when the alcohol is scanned, an age confirmation screen is displayed on the customer side display unit 205. Once the customer presses the customer year confirmation button, the age confirmation screen is not displayed thereafter.

  Display examples of the shop-side yearly button and the customer-side yearly button will be described. FIG. 7 (A) is a diagram illustrating a state before the yearly button is pressed. FIG. 7A shows a shop-side yearly probable button 301. The store-side year-end button 301 displays “year-end display” indicating that the customer-side display unit 205 displays the customer-side year-end button. The store clerk can press the store-side annual probabilities button 301 at any time. In FIG. 7 (A), as an example, a screen in which no product is registered is displayed. However, a product may be registered. The form of the yearly button 301 is the same.

  FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating a state after the store-side yearly probabilities button 301 is pressed. FIG. 7B shows a store-side yearly probable button 301. The store-side yearly probabilities button 301 displays “non-yearly probabilities display” indicating that the customer-side yearly probabilities button is not displayed on the customer-side display unit 205. Further, when the store-side year probable button 301 is pressed, “age confirmation button not displayed” is displayed in the registered product display column 302 for a certain period of time.

  It should be noted that the shop-side annuality button 301 shown in FIG. 7B is a state after the store-side annuality button 301 is pressed, and is not a state after the customer-side annuality button is pressed. . The mode of the store-side annual probabilities button 301 after the customer-side annual probabilities button is pressed is grayed out and cannot be pressed unlike the mode of FIG. 7B. This is because the customer has already acknowledged that the purchase conditions are satisfied, so that the operation of the clerk is unnecessary.

  FIG. 7 (C) is a diagram showing an aspect when an age-restricted product is scanned when the store-side annual probability button 301 is not pressed and the customer-side annual probability button is not pressed. FIG. 7C shows a store-side yearly probable button 301 and a pop-up screen 303. If the age-restricted product is scanned without pressing the year-end button, a pop-up screen 303 is displayed. On the pop-up screen 303, a message "age confirmation is required", a "20 years old or older" button, and a "goods cancellation" button are displayed. The “20 years old or older” button is a button that the clerk presses when the clerk determines that the customer satisfies the purchase condition, and is also a store-side annual confirmation button. The “product cancellation” button is a button pressed by a clerk to cancel the registration of the product.

  When the pop-up screen 303 is displayed, an age confirmation screen is displayed on the customer side display unit 205. The pop-up screen 303 is erased when any one of the “20 years old or older” button, the “Product Cancellation” button, and the customer-side annual probabilities button displayed on the age confirmation screen is pressed. In FIG. 7C, a screen in which six products are registered is displayed as an example, but the product may not be registered (for example, when the first product to be registered is an age-restricted product). In this case, the form of the pop-up screen 303 is the same.

  As described with reference to FIG. 7, in the present embodiment, it is possible for the clerk to input that the purchase condition is satisfied. Next, a display example of the customer-side annual probabilities button will be described. FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating a state before the yearly button is pressed. FIG. 8A shows a customer-side annual probability button 305, an advertisement column 306, a registration column 307, a total column 308, and an available card column 309. An advertisement is displayed in the advertisement column 306. The registration field 307 displays the product name, score, and total price of the product registered latest at the present time. In the total column 308, the points and total price of commodities registered so far are displayed. In the available card column 309, credit cards, prepaid cards, and the like that can be used in the POS terminal 20 are displayed.

  The customer can press the customer yearly button 305 at any time. In FIG. 8 (A), as an example, a screen in which six items are registered is displayed. However, the items may not be registered. Even in such a case, the form of the customer-side annual confirmation button 305 is the same. It is.

  FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating a state after the year-end button is pressed. That is, it is a diagram showing a mode in a case where the store-side annual accuracy button 301 or the customer-side annual accuracy button 305 is pressed by the customer. The difference from the state before the pressing is that the customer-side annual probability button 305 is deleted, and the available electronic money column 310 is displayed in the area of the customer-side annual probability button 305. In the available electronic money column 310, electronic money that can be used in the POS terminal 20 is displayed. As described above, by displaying the electronic money that can be used by the customer, the screen can be effectively used.

  In the example of FIG. 8B, the available electronic money column 310 is displayed. Alternatively, when the year-end button is pressed, information according to the attribute of the customer may be displayed. For example, the attribute is the age of the customer, and information according to the age of the customer may be displayed. The information according to the age of the customer includes, for example, advertisements for alcohol and tobacco. In this case, an advertisement for alcohol or cigarette is displayed according to the customer's age of 20 years or older. As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to appropriately display the advertisement of the age-restricted product. Further, the available electronic money column 310 is displayed in the area where the customer side yearly button 305 was displayed, but is not limited to this. For example, a large area including the area where the customer side yearly button 305 was displayed, or Alternatively, the advertisement section 306, the usable card section 309, and the usable electronic money section 310 may be defined as one area, and information may be displayed in that area. In addition, when the year-end button is pressed and in a predetermined time period, a video advertisement or the like of drinking alcohol may be displayed.

  FIG. 8 (C) is a diagram showing a mode when an age-restricted product is scanned when the shop-side annuality button 301 is not pressed and the customer-side annuality button 305 is not pressed. The screen shown in FIG. 8C is an age confirmation screen. On the age confirmation screen, a message “Are you 20 years old or older?”, A customer yearly confirmation button 311, a registration column 307, and a total column 308 are displayed. The customer presses the customer yearly button 305 when the purchase conditions are satisfied, and informs the clerk when the purchase conditions are not satisfied. The clerk informed that the purchase condition is not satisfied is prohibited from selling the age-restricted product by pressing a “product cancel” button on the pop-up screen 303 shown in FIG. 7C.

  As described in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, it is possible for the customer to input that the purchase condition is satisfied. Also, as shown in FIG. 8 (A), by displaying “20 years old or older” on the customer-side annual confirmation button 305, if the customer satisfies the purchase conditions, the customer-side annual confirmation button 305 is displayed. Is displayed to prompt the user to press. Similarly, the screen shown in FIG. 8C also displays “Are you 20 years old or older?” To prompt the customer to press the customer's yearly procurement button 305 when the customer satisfies the purchase conditions. Displaying. The screen shown in FIG. 8A is a display mode when an age-restricted product is not registered, and the screen shown in FIG. 8C is a display mode when an age-restricted product is registered. And the modes are different from each other.

  By enabling the customer to input that the purchase conditions are satisfied before the age-restricted product is registered, the customer can press the customer's year-end probabilities button in advance, so that the productivity of the POS terminal 20 can be improved. . Furthermore, in the past, the customer who clearly meets the purchase conditions is urged to press the customer's yearly procurement button, so that the customer may feel uncomfortable, in which case the customer satisfaction is reduced and the customer's motivation to visit the store is impaired Although there was a fear, in this embodiment, since the clerk can press the store-side annual probabilities button, the customer does not feel uncomfortable and does not impair the motive for visiting the store.

  The process regarding the year-end button described above will be described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are flowcharts showing the processing from the registration of a product to the display of the sub-planning plane.

  In FIG. 9, the POS terminal 20 sets 0 to a shop flag, a customer flag, and a non-customer flag (step S101). The store flag is a flag that indicates 1 when the store-side year probabilities button has been pressed, and indicates 0 when the store-side year certainty button has not been pressed. The customer flag is a flag that indicates 1 when the customer's year-end button is pressed, and indicates 0 when it is not pressed. Therefore, in step S101, the shop flag and the customer flag are initialized so that none of the yearly buttons are pressed. In addition, the non-customer flag indicates 1 when the customer's year-end button is not pressed, but the shop-side year-end button is pressed, and an age-restricted product is registered, and otherwise, This flag indicates 0. Therefore, the non-customer flag is a flag indicating whether or not there is an age-restricted product registered only by the clerk's judgment.

  The POS terminal 20 determines whether the barcode attached to the product has been scanned (Step S102). If the barcode has not been scanned (step S102: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the customer flag is 1 (step S107). If the customer flag is 1 (step S107: YES), the process returns to step S102. On the other hand, if the customer flag is 0 (step S107: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the store-side year probabilities button has been pressed (step S108).

  When the store-side year probabilities button is pressed (step S108: YES), the POS terminal 20 sets the exclusive OR of the store flag and 1 again as the store flag (step S109). The binary operation “＾” shown in FIG. 9 indicates an exclusive OR operation. The POS terminal 20 updates the store-side year-end button according to the store flag (step S110). Specifically, when the shop flag is 0, the POS terminal 20 displays a shop-side yearly procurement button displayed as “year probable display”. When the shop flag is 1, the POS terminal 20 displays “annual probable non-display”. Is displayed on the store side. Next, the POS terminal 20 deletes the customer-side annual probabilities button (Step S114), and returns to Step S102. As a result, the available electronic money column 310 is displayed on the customer-side display unit 205.

  In step S108, when the store-side yearly probabilities button has not been pressed (step S108: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the customer-side yearly probabilities button has been pressed (step S111). If the customer-side annual probability button has not been pressed (step S111: NO), the process proceeds to step S301 in FIG. If the customer's yearly button is pressed (step S111: YES), the POS terminal 20 sets the customer flag to 1 (step S112), grays out the store's yearly button (step S113), The side year probability button is deleted (step S114), and the process returns to step S102. As a result, the available electronic money column 310 is displayed on the customer-side display unit 205.

  If the barcode is scanned in step S102 (step S102: YES), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the product scanned with the barcode is an age-restricted product (step S103). The product scanned by the barcode is temporarily registered, and is finally registered in step S210 described later. If the bar code scanned product is not an age-restricted product (step S103: NO), the process proceeds to step S210 in FIG. If the bar code scanned product is an age-restricted product (step S103: YES), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the customer flag is 1 (step S104). If the customer flag is 1 (step S104: YES), the process proceeds to step S210 in FIG.

  If the customer flag is 0 (step S104: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether the store flag is 1 (step S105). If the store flag is 0 (step S105: NO), the process proceeds to step S201 in FIG. If the shop flag is 1 (step S104: YES), the POS terminal 20 sets the non-customer flag to 1 (step S106), and proceeds to step S210 in FIG.

  In step S201 of FIG. 10, the POS terminal 20 displays an age confirmation screen on the customer side display unit 205 (step S201), and displays a pop-up screen 303 on the clerk side display unit 210 (step S202). The POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the store-side year probabilities button has been pressed (step S203). If the store year-end button is pressed (step S203: YES), the POS terminal 20 sets 1 to the store flag (step S204), sets 1 to the non-customer flag (step S205), and sets the POS. The terminal 20 updates the shop-side yearly probabilities button in accordance with the shop flag (step S206).

  The POS terminal 20 deletes the age confirmation screen (step S207), and deletes the customer-side annual probabilities button (step S208). Thereby, the screen shown in FIG. 8B is displayed. The POS terminal 20 deletes the pop-up screen displayed on the clerk-side display unit 210 (Step S209). The POS terminal 20 registers the barcode scanned product (step S210), and proceeds to step S301 in FIG.

  In step S203, when the store-side year-end button is not pressed (step S203: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether the customer-side year-end button is pressed (step S211). If the customer yearly button is pressed (step S211: YES), the POS terminal 20 sets the customer flag to 1 (step S212), and grays out the shop side yearly button (step S213). Proceed to S207.

  In step S211, if the customer-side annual probability button has not been pressed (step S211: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the "goods cancellation" button has been pressed (step S214). If the “cancel product” button has not been pressed (step S214: NO), the process returns to step S203. If the "cancel product" button is pressed (step S214: YES), the POS terminal 20 deletes the age confirmation screen (step S215), deletes the customer-side annual confirmation button (step S216), and displays a pop-up screen. Is deleted (step S217), and the process proceeds to step S301 in FIG.

  In step S301 of FIG. 11, the POS terminal 20 determines whether the subtotal button has been pressed (step S301). If the subtotal button has not been pressed (step S301: NO), the process proceeds to step S102. When the subtotal button is pressed (step S301: YES), the POS terminal 20 determines whether the non-customer flag is 1, the store flag is 0, and the customer flag is 0 (step S302). . In this step, there is an age-restricted product registered only by the clerk's judgment, and after the age-restricted product is registered, the clerk presses the store-side annual probabilities button again, and the customer presses the customer-side annual probabilities button. It is determined whether or not there is.

  When the non-customer flag is 0, the store flag is 1, or the customer flag is 1 (step S302: NO), the POS terminal 20 displays the small plan plane (step S306) and ends the processing. On the other hand, when the non-customer flag is 1, the store flag is 0, and the customer flag is 0 (step S302: YES), the POS terminal 20 displays an age confirmation screen (step S303) and displays a pop-up screen. Then (step S304), it is determined whether or not the customer-side annual probability button has been pressed (step S305). If the customer yearly button is pressed (step S305: YES), the POS terminal 20 displays the small plan plane (step S306) and ends the processing. As described above, if the purchase condition is not input by the yearly confirmation button, the sub-planning screen is not displayed, and the sale of the age-restricted product is prohibited.

  If the customer-side annual probability button has not been pressed (step S305: NO), the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the “goods cancellation” button has been pressed (step S307). If the “cancel product” button has not been pressed (step S214: NO), the process returns to step S305. If the “commodity cancellation” button is pressed (step S307: YES), the POS terminal 20 discards the registration data (step S308), displays an unregistered screen (step S309), and ends the processing. .

  According to the processing described above, the clerk determines that the customer satisfies the purchase condition, the clerk presses the store-side annual confirmation button before registering the age-restricted product, and the store-side annual probability button If "Yearly probation is not displayed", it is possible to permit the sale of age-restricted products without having the customer press the customer-side annual probabilities button. As a result, it is not necessary for a customer who clearly meets the purchase conditions to press the customer's yearly procurement button, so that the customer does not feel uncomfortable and does not impair the motive for visiting the store.

  If the store clerk determines that the purchase conditions are satisfied and presses the store-side annuality button, and then determines that it is better for the customer to press the customer-side annuality button, the store clerk presses the store-side annuality button. Since the pressing can be canceled, the operability of the clerk can be improved.

  Further, since the customer can always press the customer's year probable button, the convenience of the customer can be improved. Specifically, for example, when a customer purchases alcohol, the customer also knows that the customer must press the customer's annual accuracy button when the alcohol is scanned. By pressing the button, the product can be registered without displaying the age confirmation screen, so that the productivity of the POS terminal 20 can be improved. Also, if the age confirmation screen is displayed when the customer is not careful when the clerk scans the age-restricted product, the customer will be surprised and the timing of pressing the customer side annual confirmation button will be delayed. . In particular, when the number of purchases is large and when the scanning of the age-restricted product is performed later, the timing of pressing the customer-side year certainty button is often delayed. According to the present embodiment, since such a delay can be eliminated, the productivity of the POS terminal 20 can be improved.

  In the embodiment described above, the application example in the normal mode and the semi-self mode has been described. However, the application example in the full self mode will be described. It is assumed that the full self mode described below is operated in such a manner that the sale of age-restricted products is permitted only when the store staff presses the store-side year probable button.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a transition example of a screen in the full self mode. FIG. 12A is a diagram illustrating an example of a registration screen displayed on the customer-side display unit 205 before an age-restricted product is scanned. The registration screen shown in FIG. 12 (A) includes, in addition to a registered product display field 323 for displaying registered products and a checkout button 325 pressed by a customer when performing a checkout, that the customer is 20 years old or older. Is displayed. The declaration button 327 can be pressed from the time of declaring the start of merchandise registration (or may be the time when the settlement of the previous customer is completed). Therefore, when the product to be purchased includes the age-restricted product, the customer can press the declaration button 327 in advance before scanning the age-restricted product.

  FIG. 12B is a diagram illustrating a registration screen when the customer presses the declaration button 327. When the customer presses the declaration button 327, a message "waiting for clerk operation" is displayed on the declaration button 327, indicating that the clerk is waiting for a confirmation operation. Even in this state, products other than age-restricted products can be registered.

  FIG. 12C is a diagram illustrating a confirmation screen displayed on the clerk-side display unit 210 when the customer presses the declaration button 327. On the confirmation screen, a message “Is the customer over 20?”, A “Yes” button, and a “No” button are displayed. If the clerk presses the “Yes” button corresponding to the store-side year-end button, the sale of the age-restricted product is permitted. If the clerk presses the “No” button, the sale of the age-restricted product is not permitted.

  FIG. 12D is a diagram showing a registration screen after the “yes” button has been pressed by the clerk on the confirmation screen. The declaration button 327 displays a message "age confirmed" indicating that the clerk has completed the confirmation operation. Thereby, the sale of the age-restricted product is permitted, and the customer can register and settle the age-restricted product.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, the customer can press the declaration button 327 before registering the age-restricted product. In the past, a store clerk checked when an age-restricted product was scanned or when a button for shifting to a checkout such as the checkout button 325 was pressed. Because there are few clerks, there are times when there are no clerks nearby or clerks are dealing with other customers, during which time customers are waited.

  Therefore, as described in the present embodiment, by making it possible to input that the purchase condition is satisfied before the specific product is registered, it is possible to suppress the above-described waiting of the customer, Productivity can be improved. In addition, since the customer can press the declaration button in advance, the time during which the clerk can perform the confirmation operation increases, and the clerk can work efficiently. It becomes possible.

  As described above, the present embodiment is also applicable to a device that performs registration and settlement by one unit such as a normal mode or a full self mode, and a system including a registration device and a settlement device such as a semi-self mode. Can be applied. Further, as described above, since purchase conditions are also set for some chemicals, the present embodiment can be applied to specific products without being limited to age-restricted products.

  Here, a designation method in the above-described semi-self mode will be described. In the semi-self mode, it is necessary to designate a POS terminal operating in the accounting mode from a POS terminal operating in the registration mode. In the following description, a POS terminal operating in the registration mode is referred to as a registration device, and a POS terminal operating in the checkout mode is referred to as a checkout device.

  As a mode of designating an accounting device for executing an accounting process from among a plurality of accounting devices, an accounting device for executing an accounting process is designated by a clerk using a registration device (first designation mode). There is a form (second designation mode) in which a customer hands over a bill to be issued from a registration device and a customer reads the bill passed from a clerk on one billing device. The embodiment is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a mode in which an accounting device is specified as follows may be used.

  As one aspect, in response to an operation performed on a send button displayed in response to the completion of the product registration (or an operation that declares the completion of the product registration may be performed), the registration device For example, an accounting device is inquired of a status to recognize an accounting device capable of performing accounting (for example, no failure has occurred and is not in use), and a predetermined rule (for example, accounting) is selected from accounting devices that are not in use. One accounting device is determined according to the device number order). Then, the registration device transmits the accounting information to the determined accounting device and instructs execution of the accounting process.

  As another aspect, the priority of the accounting process is set in advance for the accounting device. Then, in response to the completion of the merchandise registration, a display is made so that the operation of the transmission button for instructing the transmission of the accounting information to the accounting device becomes valid. In response to the operation of the send button, the registration device checks whether or not the accounting device can perform the accounting process in the order according to the set priority, and confirms that the accounting process is possible. If not, make sure that the priority is on the next accounting device. Then, the registration device transmits the accounting information to the accounting device that has been first confirmed that the accounting process is possible, and instructs execution of the accounting process.

  In another aspect, the enrollment device sends accounting information to all accounting devices. When the accounting device that has received the accounting information becomes able to execute the accounting process using the accounting information included in the accounting information received by the accounting device, the accounting device issues an accounting process execution notification notifying that the accounting device performs the accounting process. The accounting information is transmitted to the registration device.

  The registration device performs a display (accounting process execution display) indicating the accounting device to which the accounting process execution notification is transmitted in response to receiving the accounting process execution notification. The store clerk can see the transaction execution display and tell the customer which accounting device is to execute the transaction.

  At this time, together with the display of the accounting process execution, the signing pole of the accounting device that has transmitted the accounting process execution notification is lit in a predetermined pattern, or the accounting device outputs a predetermined notification sound, thereby allowing the accounting device to execute the accounting process. The execution may be notified.

  As another aspect, a store clerk moves a shopping cart containing a product for which product registration has been completed by the registration device to one of the basket storage places corresponding to each accounting device. .

  The basket storage is provided with a sensor for detecting the placed shopping basket. When it is determined by the sensor that the shopping basket is placed, the corresponding accounting device makes a request, acquires the corresponding accounting information from the registration device, and executes the accounting process. Also in this case, the accounting device that has executed the accounting process may notify that the accounting device is to execute the accounting process by turning on a sign pole or outputting a notification sound.

  As another aspect, the registration device transmits, to a certain accounting device, accounting instruction information including accounting information and transfer order information in which a transfer order between a plurality of accounting devices is set. The transfer order information may specify the transfer order cyclically between the accounting devices.

  The accounting device that has received the accounting instruction information transmits an accounting processing execution notification to the registration device that has transmitted the accounting instruction information, if the accounting device can execute the accounting process, and includes the accounting instruction information in the received accounting instruction information. Execute accounting processing using the accounting information.

  On the other hand, when the accounting device that has received the accounting instruction information cannot execute the accounting process, the accounting device receives the accounting instruction information and transfers the transfer order to the next accounting device in accordance with the transfer order information included in the received accounting instruction information. Transfer the accounting instruction information. In this way, by sequentially transferring the accounting instruction information between the accounting devices, a procedure corresponding to designation of the accounting device to be executed the accounting process is realized.

  Note that a program for implementing the POS terminal 20 described above may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program may be read and executed by a computer system. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, and a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in a computer system. Further, the “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that becomes a server or a client when a program is transmitted through a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. And those holding programs for a certain period of time. Further, the above program may be transmitted from a computer system storing the program in a storage device or the like to another computer system via a transmission medium or by a transmission wave in the transmission medium. Here, the "transmission medium" for transmitting a program refers to a medium having a function of transmitting information, such as a network (communication network) such as the Internet or a communication line (communication line) such as a telephone line. Further, the program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Furthermore, what can realize the above-mentioned function in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system, a so-called difference file (difference program) may be used.
