Further, the receipt data includes elements such as transaction date/time D7, transaction number (receipt number) D8, cashier number D9, and person in charge name D10. Note that the elements included in the receipt data are not limited to those in the example of FIG. 7, and are a company code (company name), a store code (store name), a telephone number of the store, an address, a business type/business type code, which indicates a company that operates the store. Other elements such as

In addition, when the receipt data generation unit 111 receives the pressing of the closing key, the receipt data generation unit 111 determines that the product sales data processing for one transaction is completed, and outputs the generated receipt data together with the cut command to the receipt data output unit 112 (issue). To do. Here, the cut command is one of commonly used printer control commands and is instruction information for instructing the cutting (cutting) of the paper on which the receipt data is printed. Note that the receipt data may be generated collectively when the closing key is pressed, or may be sequentially generated each time the product code or the customer code is acquired.

The receipt data output unit 112 determines the output destination of the receipt data every time the receipt data generation unit 111 generates receipt data for one transaction. More specifically, when the cut command is issued by the receipt data generation unit 111, the receipt data output unit 112 determines that the receipt data for one transaction has been generated. Then, the receipt data output unit 112 determines whether or not the generated receipt data includes a membership code, and outputs the receipt data to an output destination determined according to the determination result.

Specifically, when the receipt data output unit 112 determines that the membership code is not included in the receipt data, the receipt data output unit 112 outputs the receipt data to the printer 13 together with the cut command. As a result, the printer 13 prints the receipt data on a sheet and then cuts the sheet in accordance with the cut command to print out a sheet receipt for one transaction. When printing out, all the elements that make up the receipt data may be printed, or the membership code may be removed or other information such as advertisements may be printed.

If the receipt data output unit 112 determines that the receipt data includes the membership code, the receipt data output unit 112 converts the receipt data into a predetermined data format according to the conversion rule of the receipt data schema 17c. Then, the receipt data output unit 112 transmits (outputs) the receipt data whose data format has been converted, that is, the electronic receipt, to the electronic receipt server 3 that manages on a company basis according to the company code.

Here, FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the electronic receipt. As shown in FIG. 8, the electronic receipt is composed of data (structured document) in a structured format such as XML, CSV, JSON (JavaScript (registered trademark) Object Notation). Note that FIG. 8 shows an example in which each element (D1-2, D7-D10) of the receipt data shown in FIG. 7 is converted into the JSON format.

The conversion of the receipt data into the electronic receipt is performed based on the conversion rule described in the receipt data schema 17c. Specifically, the receipt data schema 17c defines predetermined elements that make up the receipt data and attribute information (tags, etc.) indicating the attributes of the elements. The receipt data output unit 112 generates an electronic receipt in a structured format as shown in FIG. 8 by structuring each element of the receipt data using the corresponding attribute information. By using such a structured format electronic receipt, the elements included in the electronic receipt can be efficiently used, and thus various advantages can be obtained in data management.

In this way, the receipt data output unit 112 determines that receipt data for one transaction has been generated by the issuance of the cut command by the receipt data generation unit 111, and starts output of the receipt data. Accordingly, it is not necessary to notify the receipt data output unit 112 of a dedicated signal for instructing the end of one transaction from the receipt data generation unit 111. The receipt data output unit 112 can output receipt data for one transaction without changing the above. Moreover, since the changed portion of the receipt data generation unit 111 can be suppressed, it is possible to realize the output function of the electronic receipt while efficiently utilizing the existing application.

Further, the receipt data output unit 112 determines the output destination of the receipt data depending on whether or not the receipt data includes the membership code. With this, it is possible to output the paper receipt or the electronic receipt without preparing the necessity information of the paper receipt for each customer, so that the output destination of the receipt data can be efficiently determined. Further, for example, the customer (member) can select the output of the paper receipt or the electronic receipt by inputting or not inputting the membership code for each transaction, so that the convenience of the customer can be improved. ..

Further, when outputting the receipt data to the electronic receipt server 3, the receipt data output unit 112 converts the elements included in the receipt data into a structured electronic receipt and outputs the electronic receipt. Thereby, since the elements included in the electronic receipt can be efficiently used, in the electronic receipt server 3 and the electronic receipt management server 4 that manage the electronic receipt, and in the mobile terminal 7 that displays the electronic receipt, The convenience of the electronic receipt can be improved.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of electronic receipt processing in the POS terminal 1. First, the receipt data generation unit 111 of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not the code scanner 15 has read the code symbol (product code) attached to the product or the code symbol (membership code) displayed on the mobile terminal 7. The determination is made (step S11). When the code symbol is not read (step S11; No), the receipt data generation unit 111 proceeds to step S16.

On the other hand, when the receipt data generation unit 111 determines that the code symbol is read (step S11; Yes), the receipt data generation unit 111 determines whether the information acquired by the reading is a product code or a member code (step S12).

When the product code is acquired in step S12 (step S12; product code), the receipt data generation unit 111 reads the product data from the product data file for the product specified by the product code, and the product data includes the product data. Product sales data processing for calculating the payment amount based on the unit price is executed (step S13). Next, the receipt data generation unit 111 generates receipt data including the product sales data processed during the product sales data processing (step S14).

When the membership code is acquired in step S12 (step S12; membership code), the receipt data generation unit 111 generates receipt data including the membership code (step S15).

Here, in order to input the member code into the POS terminal 1, for example, a customer who is a member displays a code symbol including a member code on the display unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7, and the customer who is the clerk or the member himself or herself. The code is read by the code scanner 15 of the POS terminal 1. Note that the receipt data generation unit 111 may be configured to perform exclusive processing or the like so that only one membership code can be input during one transaction.
