In addition, the various information managed by the store server 20 can include information on purchases transmitted from the POS terminal 10, and this information can also include customer information indicating a purchaser. For example, the store server 20 can store a PLU (Price Look Up) file in which the product code and information related to the product (product name, price, etc.) are associated with each other in the storage unit 21a. Then, the store server 20 performs processing such as returning information about the product according to the product code indicating the product transmitted from each POS terminal 10, managing sales data transmitted from each POS terminal 10. be able to. The PLU file may be stored in each POS terminal 10.

The POS terminal 10 is a device for registering a product to be purchased by a customer and paying for the product price, and can be configured by a computer or a device including a computer. As shown in FIG. 4, the POS terminal 10 prints, for example, a control unit 11 that controls the whole, an input unit 12 that inputs data and the like, a display unit 13 (13a, 13b) that displays information processing results and the like, a receipt and the like. A printing unit 15 and a communication unit 14 that communicates with other devices can be provided. The control unit 21 can have a storage unit 11a that stores various information, application programs (business application programs), and the like.

The control unit 11 and the input unit 12 correspond to the control unit 1b and the input unit 1a of FIG. 1, respectively. The display unit 13 of the POS terminal 10 corresponds to the display unit 1c of FIG. 1, and can be a store clerk display unit 13a, or a store clerk display unit 13a and a customer display unit 13b. , The latter example will be described.

Next, a processing example (mainly a processing example of the POS terminal 10) in this system will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 to 8. In this system, the POS terminal 10 can change the purchase format of the product after registering the product to be purchased by the customer including the purchase format and before starting the settlement process of the product price. Further, here, an example in which this system is installed in a restaurant such as a fast food restaurant will be described.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart for explaining a processing example in this system. That is, in FIG. 5, the control unit 11 of the POS terminal 10 executes the registration of the product to be purchased by the customer according to the input from the input unit 12, and executes the settlement process of settling the product price by the end. Shown. 6 to 8 are diagrams showing an example of a display image (GUI [Graphical User Interface] image, etc.) on the POS terminal 10 of FIG. 4, and are a display image displayed on the clerk display unit 13a during the above processing. An example of is shown. However, it will be described as being similarly displayed on the customer display unit 13b.

First, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the product information of the plurality of format products purchased by the customer has been input (step S1), and if it has been input (YES in step S1), proceeds to step S2. If no input is made (NO in step S1), step S1 is repeated.

The input of the multi-format product information indicating the multi-format product and the single-format product information indicating the single-format product, that is, the input of the product information can be performed by the clerk. Here, since there is no change in the purchase format for single-format products, processing that mainly considers only multiple-format products will be described, but single-format products are also included in the calculation processing and the like described later. For inputting the multi-format product information, for example, one multi-format product is selected on the multi-format product selection screen (a screen displaying a display image for selecting the multi-format product information), or the multi-format product is input. It is done by entering the product code, etc.

In step S2, the control unit 11 receives the input of the purchase format (also referred to as the sales type) of the plurality of format products designated by the input unit 12, and proceeds to step S3. The input of the purchase format of the plurality of format products is performed by the clerk selecting, for example, either "in-store eating and drinking" or "take-out" according to the customer's offer. When the input of the purchase format of the plurality of format products is completed, the control unit 11 calculates the amount of tax on the amount of the product price, and the plurality of format products are registered as products. That is, the control unit 11 stores the plurality of types of products designated by the input unit 12 in the storage unit 11a or the like as product registration information.

In step S3, the control unit 11 determines whether or not one plurality of format product information is designated by the touch operation on the display image displayed on the store clerk display unit 13a. The clerk display unit 13a is composed of a display with a touch panel. If specified, it will be done by the clerk when the customer requests to change the purchase format of the product, but the customer will perform it by touch operation on the display image displayed on the customer display unit 13b. You can also do it. In this case, the customer display unit 13b is also composed of a display with a touch panel.

If YES in step S3, the control unit 11 proceeds to step S4, and if NO in step S3, proceeds to step S5. The case of YES in step S3 will be described. For example, when "Product C in-store food and drink" is touched and designated with respect to the display image 31 illustrated in FIG. 6, the display image 32 illustrated in FIG. 7 is displayed. In the display image 32 of FIG. 7, the display of "Product C in-store food and drink" has a different display form (display mode) surrounded by a frame. Different display forms may be displayed in outline characters, displayed in bold, displayed in different colors, marked with arrows or the like at the beginning or end of the line, etc., as long as the specified items can be visually recognized. ..

In step S4, the control unit 11 changes the purchase format of the product, calculates or obtains the amount of tax on the amount of the product price due to the change of the purchase format, and then calculates the total amount of the product price and the total amount of tax. Perform the calculation process to calculate. In step S4, the control unit 11 further performs a reflection process for reflecting the result of the process associated with the change in the purchase format in the product registration information. After that, the process proceeds to step S5. The process associated with the change of the purchase format can be executed, for example, by pressing the "purchase format change key" included in the display image or the corresponding hardware key. To change the purchase format of the product, touch "Product C in-store food and drink" again in the display image 31 of FIG. 6, that is, touch "Product C in-store food and drink" in the display image 32 of FIG. It may be done by.

As illustrated in FIG. 7, the display unit 13 can display the plurality of format product information in a state that can be specified by the input unit 12. Then, the display unit 13 can display the plurality of format product information specified by the input unit 12 in a visible display format in distinction from the non-designated plurality of format product information. The display control for the display unit 13 including these display controls may be a function of the control unit 11 or the input unit 12. That is, when the product whose purchase format is changed is specified in the display image displaying the information of the product registered in the plurality of formats, the POS terminal 10 can visually recognize the designation of the plurality of formats. It can also be configured to display information.

When changing the purchase format, the control unit 11 performs, for example, the following processes (1) to (3), and updates the product registration information based on the results of the processes (1) to (3). (1) Change the display of the purchase format. (2) Calculate and display the changed tax. Here, in the case of tax included, refer to the PLU file in which the product code, the product price of each purchase format, and the tax included amount are stored in association with each other, and the changed product price and tax included. Is displayed. (3) Calculate and display the changed subtotal and total tax exemption. If it is a tax included, it will be calculated and displayed in the same way.

The display image 33 illustrated in FIG. 8 is an image displayed after the purchase format of the product is changed. In the display image 33, an example in which the consumption tax is calculated assuming that the consumption tax is 10% in the case of "in-store eating and drinking" and the consumption tax is 8% in the case of "take-out" is given. "Take-away", tax-excluded amount "\ 24", subtotal amount "\ 1,632", total tax-excluded amount "\ 126" is displayed, that is, the changed part is surrounded by a frame. The display format is different from the display image 32 at the time of designating the product whose purchase format is to be changed. Different display forms may be displayed in outline characters, displayed in bold, displayed in different colors, marked with arrows or the like at the beginning or end of the line, etc., as long as the changes can be visually recognized. ..

As illustrated in FIG. 8, the display unit 13 displays the multi-format product information about the multi-format product for which the purchase format change has been accepted by the input unit 12 in a display form in which it is possible to visually recognize that the purchase format has been changed. It can also be displayed. That is, the POS terminal 10 can also be configured to display the information of the plurality of format products whose purchase format has been changed in such a manner that the change in the purchase format can be visually recognized.

In step S5, the control unit 11 has pressed the closing key (software key and / or hardware key included in the display image) for ending the product registration, that is, has the tightening operation been performed and the product registration has been completed? Judge whether or not. If YES in step S5, the control unit 11 proceeds to step S6, and if NO in step S5, returns to step S1.

In step S6, the control unit 11 displays the accounting information on the clerk display unit 13a and the customer display unit 13b, and proceeds to step S7. After step S6, it is possible to start the settlement process for settling the product price based on the product registration information.

In step S7, the control unit 11 determines whether or not one plurality of format products has been designated by a touch operation on the display image of the store clerk display unit 13a. If specified, it will be done by the clerk when the customer requests to change the purchase format of the product, but the customer will perform it by touch operation on the display image displayed on the customer display unit 13b. You can also do it. If YES in step S7, the control unit 11 proceeds to step S8, and if NO in step S7, proceeds to step S9.

In step S8, the control unit 11 changes the purchase format of the product and proceeds to step S9. The process associated with the change in the purchase format is performed in the same manner as in step S4.

In step S9, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the settlement process for settling the product price has been started, based on whether or not the store clerk has instructed the start of the settlement process from the input unit 12. When the settlement process is started (YES in step S9), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S10, and if not (NO in step S9), returns to step S7. When the settlement process is started, the settlement process is started when the customer offers to settle in cash, and the clerk inputs the deposit amount from the customer or selects the settlement method. It means that there is the first input when it is done.

Step S10 is executed after the clerk has made an input to start the settlement process as described above, and in step S10, the control unit 11 executes the subsequent settlement process. When the settlement process is completed, a receipt is issued from the printing unit 15, and if there is change, it will be handed to the customer together with the change.

In the above-mentioned process, the settlement process is started after steps S7 and S8. That is, the input unit 12 can be configured to be able to accept changes in the pre-registered purchase format for the plurality of format products after the registration of the product to be purchased is completed and before the settlement process is executed. .. Then, when the input unit 12 receives the change in the purchase format, the control unit 11 executes a reflection process for reflecting the result of the process associated with the change in the purchase format in the product registration information at least before the settlement process. , After the reflection process, the settlement process will be executed.

For example, in the POS terminal 10, a plurality of format products that have been registered as products are designated and the purchase format can be changed only after the registration of the product is completed and the settlement process of the product price of the product purchased by the customer is started. When instructed, the following processing is executed. That is, the POS terminal 10 changes the purchase format of the specified product to another purchase format, and calculates and displays the total amount of the product price and the total amount of tax based on the tax amount in the changed purchase format. At the same time, update the product registration information.

As described above, in this system, for products that have multiple purchase formats that have already been registered (multiple format products), the product purchase format is changed and the product registration information is updated before the settlement process is started. Is possible.

In the above-described processing, the clerk basically changes the purchase format of the product by designating one plurality of format products in the display image of the clerk display unit 13a. However, as described above, the customer display unit 13b may be configured by a display with a touch panel, and the customer may specify one plurality of format products in the customer display image and change the purchase format of the product. Further, the purchase format of the product may be changed by designating one plurality of format products in either the display image for the clerk or the display image for the customer.

Further, in the above-described processing, the purchase format of the product is changed after the multi-format product information is specified by the touch operation in the display image displaying the information of the multi-format product registered as the product. That is, on the premise that the input unit 12 has the touch panel provided on the display unit 13, the input unit 12 accepts the plurality of format products for which the purchase format is to be changed when the corresponding display area of the plurality of format product information is touched. It can be configured as follows. As a result, the POS terminal 10 can specify a product whose purchase format is to be changed by touching the product information on the screen displaying the product information registered as the product. In this case, the process of reflecting the result of the processing associated with the change receives the selection of the change execution button provided on the display image, or shifts the display image to the display image including the change execution button and the change execution button. Can be executed according to the selection of. In this case as well, the display unit 13 may display the plurality of format product information in a state in which the input unit 12 can specify the product information.

As an alternative process of such a process, for example, a plurality of format products whose purchase format is changed may be specified by a single touch operation, and the purchase format of the product may be changed. That is, on the premise that the input unit 12 has the touch panel provided on the display unit 13, the input unit 12 may be configured to accept the change of the purchase format when the corresponding display area of the plurality of format product information is touched. it can. As a result, the POS terminal 10 specifies a product whose purchase format is to be changed by touching the product information on the screen displaying the product information registered as the product, and the purchase format can be changed only by this designation. You can also. Changing the purchase format means executing the process associated with the change in the purchase format and reflecting the result of the process in the product registration information. In this case as well, the display unit 13 may display the plurality of format product information in a state in which the input unit 12 can specify the product information.

Further, the following processing can be adopted for the designation of the change target of the purchase format and the designation of the change in steps S1 to S4 and step S7. That is, it is also possible to specify a plurality of multiple format products instead of one multiple format product and press the "purchase format change key" to change the purchase format of the multiple multiple format products at once. is there.

In this way, the input unit 12 may be configured to be able to accept batch changes that collectively change the purchase format for a plurality of plurality of format products. That is, the POS terminal 10 accepts a plurality of designations of the plurality of format products for which the purchase format is changed, and when the change of the purchase format is instructed, the change of the purchase format is collectively executed for the plurality of designated plurality of format products. It can also be configured to do so.

Further, in this case, the purchase formats of the plurality of plural format products may be the same or different. When products with different purchase formats (that is, multiple format products) are specified, the multiple format products that were "in-store food and drink" are changed to "take-out", and the multiple format products that were "take-out" are "in-store food and drink". Is changed to.

As described above, the plurality of purchase formats can include a first purchase format and a second purchase format. Then, the above-mentioned batch change can be a change in which the first purchase format and the second purchase format are exchanged in the pre-registered purchase format. That is, due to such a batch change, among the plurality of designated products, the product that was the first purchase format is changed to the second purchase format, and the product that was the second purchase format is the first. It will be changed to the purchase format.

<Embodiment 3>
The third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 and mainly the differences from the second embodiment including its effects. In the third embodiment, various examples described in the first embodiment and further various examples described in the second embodiment can be appropriately used. 9 to 11 are views showing another example of the display image of the POS terminal of FIG. 4, and are views showing an example of the display image of the POS terminal according to the third embodiment.

The POS terminal and the POS system according to the present embodiment are different from the example of the second embodiment in the following points, and are basically the same in other points. The display unit 13 in the present embodiment displays the plurality of format product information by dividing the area for each purchase format registered in advance, and when the input unit 12 accepts the change of the purchase format, the display unit 13 is the plurality of format product information to be changed. Can also be displayed in the area corresponding to the changed purchase format.

That is, the POS terminal 10 of the present embodiment has a first area for displaying information on a plurality of formats, which is a first purchase format, and a second purchase in a display image for displaying information on products registered as products. A second area for displaying information on a multi-format product, which is a format, and a second area are included in the display. Then, the POS terminal 10 displays the information of the multi-format product which was the first purchase format in the second area after changing the purchase format, and the information of the multi-format product which was the second purchase format. Is displayed in the first area after changing the purchase format.

For example, both the clerk display image and the customer display image include an area for displaying information on products for food and drink in the store and an area for displaying information on products to be taken home. The display image 34 illustrated in FIG. 9 shows a display image in which the product registered as a product is displayed. The display image 35 illustrated in FIG. 10 shows a display image in which one product whose purchase format is changed is designated. Product C for in-store food and drink is designated. Although FIGS. 9 and 10 show an example in which the purchase format of "in-store eating and drinking" or "take-out" is not displayed next to each product name, the purchase format may be displayed next to the product name.

The display image 36 illustrated in FIG. 11 shows the display image after the purchase format is changed. In the display image 36, the purchase format of the product C is changed to take-out, and the product C is displayed in the area for displaying the information of the take-out product. Note that FIG. 11 shows an example in which the purchase format of "in-store eating and drinking" or "take-out" is displayed next to each product name, but since the area name is displayed, the purchase format is displayed next to the product name. It does not have to be displayed.

The purchase format may be changed by touching and holding one product whose purchase format is to be changed and dragging it to the display area of the product of the purchase format to be changed.

Also in this embodiment, it is possible to change the purchase format of the product and update the product registration information before the settlement process is started for the product having a plurality of purchase formats for which the product has been registered.

<Embodiment 4>
The fourth embodiment will be described focusing on the differences from the second embodiment including its effects. As the third embodiment, various examples described in the first embodiment and further various examples described in the second and third embodiments can be appropriately used.

The POS terminal and the POS system according to the present embodiment are different from the example of the second embodiment in the following points, and are basically the same in other points. The input unit 12 in the present embodiment is configured to be able to accept changes in the pre-registered purchase format for the plurality of format products before the product registration is completed. Then, when the input unit 12 receives such a change in the purchase format, the control unit 11 executes the process associated with the change in the purchase format and reflects it in the product registration information, that is, the product registration information. After updating, execute the settlement process.

For example, the POS terminal 10 executes the following processing when a plurality of format products for which product registration has been registered are specified and a change in purchase format is instructed before the registration of the product is completed. That is, the POS terminal 10 changes the purchase format of the specified product to another purchase format, and calculates and displays the total amount of the product price and the total amount of tax based on the tax amount in the changed purchase format. At the same time, update the product registration information.

In the second and third embodiments, it was possible to change the purchase format of the product before the settlement process is started after the product is registered once, but as in the present embodiment, until the product registration is completed. It may be possible to change the purchase format of the product only during the period.
