FIG. 8 shows the display contents of the clerk display unit 105 in the scene following the scene of FIG. 7. Specifically, FIG. 8 shows a scene in which the small screen SG01 is displayed (superimposed) on the front of the registration screen (for example, the registration screen of FIG. 5) before registration of one item of goods. The small screen SG01 is a screen for instructing the execution of the disinfection work (notifying that the disinfection work should be performed), although the details will be described later.

The registration device 10 instructs the execution of the disinfection work after the designation of the settlement device 20 (after the operation of any of the 201 registration button BT21, the 202 registration button BT22, and the 203 registration button BT23), and the execution of the disinfection work. It may not be instructed. Specifically, the registration device 10 is a registration screen (for example, the registration screen of FIG. 8) before registration of one product in which the small screen SG01 is displayed (superimposed) on the front surface after the payment device 20 is designated. Is displayed on the clerk display unit 105, and the registration screen (for example, the registration screen of FIG. 5) before registration of one item of product is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. That is, when the screen transitions from FIG. 7 to FIG. 8 to FIG. 5 to instruct the execution of the disinfection work (when the small screen SG01 is displayed), the screen transitions from FIG. 7 to FIG. 5 and the disinfection work is performed. There are cases where is not instructed (when the small screen SG01 is not displayed).

The registration device 10 determines (determines) whether or not the display of the small screen SG01 is necessary (presence / absence) based on a predetermined determination criterion. In other words, the registration device 10 determines the necessity of disinfection work (necessity of instruction to carry out disinfection work) based on a predetermined determination criterion. When the registration device 10 determines that the display of the small screen SG01 is necessary, the registration device 10 displays the small screen SG01 as shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 8 is a display of the clerk display unit 105 when it is determined that the small screen SG01 is to be displayed based on a predetermined determination criterion after the payment device 20 is designated.

(Judgment criteria based on the number of transactions (number of people))
An example of the above-mentioned determination criteria relates to the number of transactions (number of people) continuously processed in the device without performing disinfection work on the device. The registration device 10 displays the small screen SG01 based on whether or not the number of transactions continuously processed in the device exceeds a predetermined value (for example, “20”) without performing disinfection work on the device. Determine the necessity (that is, the necessity of disinfection work). Specifically, the registration device 10 determines that the small screen SG01 is not displayed (that is, it is determined that the disinfection work is unnecessary) when the number of transactions does not exceed the predetermined value. On the other hand, when the number of transactions exceeds a predetermined value, the registration device 10 determines that the small screen SG01 is displayed (that is, it is determined that disinfection work is necessary). The predetermined value to be compared with the number of transactions may be set for each day of the week and each time zone, for example.

(Judgment criteria based on elapsed time)
Another example of the above criteria relates to the elapsed time since the last (recent) disinfection operation on the device. The registration device 10 displays the small screen SG01 based on whether or not the elapsed time (or a value based on the elapsed time) from the last disinfection work in the device exceeds a predetermined value (for example, "60 (minutes)"). (That is, the necessity of disinfection work) is judged. Specifically, the registration device 10 determines that the small screen SG01 is not displayed when the elapsed time (or a value based on the elapsed time) does not exceed a predetermined value (that is, it is determined that disinfection work is unnecessary). do. On the other hand, when the elapsed time (or a value based on the elapsed time) exceeds a predetermined value, the registration device 10 determines that the small screen SG01 is displayed (that is, it is determined that disinfection work is necessary). The predetermined value to be compared with the elapsed time (or a value based on the elapsed time) may be set for each day of the week or each time zone, for example.

The value based on the elapsed time is a rounded elapsed time (elapsed time in units of 5 seconds or elapsed time in units of 1 minute). In the following description, the judgment criteria may be simply referred to as elapsed time, including values based on elapsed time.

(Judgment criteria based on the number of products (number of scans, etc.))
Another example of the above criteria relates to the number of products (number of scans) continuously registered in the device without performing disinfection work on the device. The registration device 10 displays the small screen SG01 based on whether or not the number of products continuously registered in the device exceeds a predetermined value (for example, "200") without performing disinfection work on the device. Determine the necessity (that is, the necessity of disinfection work). Specifically, the registration device 10 determines that the small screen SG01 is not displayed (that is, it is determined that disinfection work is unnecessary) when the number of products does not exceed the predetermined value. On the other hand, when the number of products exceeds a predetermined value, the registration device 10 determines that the small screen SG01 is displayed (that is, it is determined that disinfection work is necessary). The predetermined value to be compared with the number of products may be set for each day of the week and each time zone, for example.

The registration device 10 combines the judgment criteria based on the number of transactions, the judgment criteria based on the elapsed time, and the judgment criteria based on the number of products to display the small screen SG01 (necessity of disinfection work). ) May be judged. As an example, the registration device 10 has one (two) of whether the number of transactions exceeds a predetermined value, the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value, or the number of products exceeds a predetermined value. Or it may be all), it may be determined that the small screen SG01 is displayed (it is determined that disinfection work is necessary).

That is, the registration device 10 switches the display of the clerk display unit 105 based on the designation of the settlement device 20, but when it is determined that the disinfection work is unnecessary based on the predetermined determination criteria, the small screen SG01 is displayed. Switch to the screen where the next customer's product can be registered without displaying (the registration screen in FIG. 5), and if it is judged that disinfection work is necessary based on the predetermined judgment criteria, the next customer with the small screen SG01 superimposed. Switch to the screen where product registration is possible (registration screen in FIG. 5).

As described above, the small screen SG01 is a screen for instructing the execution of the disinfection work (notifying that the disinfection work should be performed). On the small screen SG01, an instruction word (message) "Please perform disinfection work" is displayed, and a disinfection completion button BT30 is provided. The disinfection completion button BT30 is a button for declaring the completion of the disinfection work. That is, when the display of the small screen SG01 is displayed, the clerk performs the disinfection work according to the instructions on the small screen, and when the disinfection work is completed, operates the disinfection completion button BT30. The small screen SG01 is erased by operating the disinfection completion button BT30.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the display unit 105 for the clerk (specifically, the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30 provided on the small screen SG01) is used to accept the declaration of the completion of the disinfection work, but the display for the clerk is received. A declaration of completion of the disinfection work may be accepted by using a unit other than the unit 105 (for example, a key operation unit 108, a scanner unit 104, a customer display unit 106, etc.). For example, as a method of using the key operation unit 108, a button for receiving a declaration of completion of the disinfection work may be arranged in the key operation unit 108, and the declaration of the completion of the disinfection work may be received by operating the button. Further, as a method of using the scanner unit 104, a predetermined disinfection work completion declaration code (for example, a code printed on a display or a medium and received as a declaration of completion of the disinfection work by reading) is prepared, and the disinfection work is completed. The declaration may be accepted by reading the code.

During the disinfection work (displaying the small screen SG01), the registration device 10 performs operations other than the operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work (for example, the display unit 105 for the clerk) in order to prevent unintended operations due to the disinfection work. The operation, the operation on the customer display unit 106, the operation on the key operation unit 108, the scan by the scanner unit 104, etc.) are invalidated (prohibited). Even when the operation is invalid, processing that does not depend on the operation (for example, reception of information transmitted from another device) is possible.

The above-mentioned invalidation mode may be hardware-like, software-like, or if an unintended operation or the like due to the disinfection work does not occur (or is unlikely to occur) during the disinfection work. It may be mechanical or electrical.

(Invalidation of operation on the display unit 105 for clerk)
As an example, an invalidation mode for invalidating the operation on the clerk display unit 105 will be described. As an invalidation mode for invalidating the operation on the clerk display unit 105, the operation on the clerk display unit 105 (excluding the operation on the disinfection completion button BT30 when displaying the disinfection completion button BT30) must be effective. Often, for example, there are the following invalidation modes (prohibition modes) 1 and 2.

(Invalidation mode 1 of the display unit 105 for clerk)
In terms of software (application-like), the clerk display 105 accepts the operation of the button (disinfection completion button BT30) for declaring the completion of the disinfection work, but does not accept the operation of other buttons and the like (the operation of other buttons and the like is not accepted). The touch sensor itself is not disabled). The invalidation mode 1 of the clerk display unit 105 can be applied to the case where the clerk display unit 105 is used to accept the declaration of the completion of the disinfection work (when the disinfection completion button BT30 is displayed).

(Invalidation mode 2 of the display unit 105 for clerk)
The operation (touch) on the display screen of the clerk display unit 105 is not detected (sensed) electrically (electrically, hardware-wise) or software-wise. That is, no response is made to any touch on the display screen of the clerk display unit 105 (the touch sensor itself is invalidated). Note that the invalidation mode 2 of the clerk display unit 105 is not suitable when the clerk display unit 105 is used to accept a declaration of completion of the disinfection work (when the disinfection completion button BT30 is displayed).

(Disable scanning by the scanner unit 104)
As another example, an invalidation mode for invalidating the scan by the scanner unit 104 will be described. As a mode of disabling the scan by the scanner unit 104, the scan by the scanner unit 104 (excluding the scanning of the disinfection work completion declaration code when the scanner unit 104 accepts the declaration of the completion of the disinfection work) must be effective. For example, at least one of the following invalidation modes (prohibited modes) 1 to 3 may be used.

(Invalidation mode 1 of the scanner unit 104)
Optical reading of the barcode by the scanner unit 104 is prohibited. That is, the scanner unit 104 is turned off electrically (electrically, hardware-wise) or software-wise. Since the disinfection work completion declaration code is not read in the invalidation mode 1 of the scanner unit 104, it is not suitable for accepting the declaration of the completion of the disinfection work using the scanner unit 104.
(Invalidation mode 2 of the scanner unit 104)
Optical reading of the barcode by the scanner unit 104 is valid (possible), but acquisition of information (for example, a 13-digit number of the JAN code) from the read barcode is prohibited. If the function is a function of the CPU 101, the function of the CPU 101 is turned off. Since the disinfection work completion declaration code is not recognized in the invalidation mode 2 of the scanner unit 104, it is not suitable for accepting the declaration of the completion of the disinfection work using the scanner unit 104.
(Invalidation mode 3 of the scanner unit 104)
It is valid (possible) until the information is obtained from the read barcode, but the final product registration is prohibited. That is, normally, the product name and the amount of money corresponding to the product code are acquired by referring to the product file, and the product corresponding to the product code is registered. However, in the invalidation mode 3, the product code corresponds to the product code. The acquisition of products, etc. is prohibited, or the acquisition of product names, etc. is valid, and the final registration of products is prohibited. Note that the invalidation mode 3 of the scanner unit 104 can be applied when the scanner unit 104 receives a declaration of completion of the disinfection work if the disinfection work completion declaration code is recognizable (processable).

It is displayed in R01 (information providing area R02) as the actual number of disinfection operations in the registration device 10.

In addition, the registration device 10 disinfects a clerk (a clerk using the registration device 10 or all clerk) in place of or in addition to the actual information of the disinfection work of the registration device 10 as infection control information. The actual number of operations (step S59 in FIGS. 30A and 30B) may be displayed. In addition, the registration device 10 replaces or adds to the above-mentioned actual information (actual information of disinfection work of the registered device 10, actual information of disinfection work of a clerk) as infection control information, and efforts for infection prevention of the store. You may display bean knowledge information such as sterilization.

The registration device 10 controls, for example, the display contents and the like (whether it is advertising information or infection prevention information, each display area, etc.) in the information providing area R01 for each hour (according to a predetermined schedule). Further, the registration device 10 may control the display contents and the like in the information providing area R01 based on the operation of the clerk. For example, the registration device 10 may control the display content or the like in the information providing area R01 in response to the operation of the display content switching button (not shown). Further, the registration device 10 may control the display content in the information providing area R01 based on the control information transmitted from another device (for example, the monitoring device 40, the other registration device 10, etc.).

FIG. 10 shows the display contents of the customer display unit 106 in the scene following the scene of FIG. When the registration device 10 is displaying the registration screen as shown in FIG. 6 on the clerk display unit 105 or the subplanning surface as shown in FIG. 7, it is shown in FIG. 10 on the customer display unit 106.

A screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the unit 106.

The information providing area R02 shown in FIG. 11 is an area for providing infection control information and the like related to infection control. The registration device 10 displays infection prevention information and the like in the information providing area R02 during the disinfection work.

In addition, instead of displaying on the customer display unit 106, or in addition to displaying on the customer display unit 106, the registration device 10 displays the actual information (disinfection) of the disinfection work of the registration device 10 on the store clerk display unit 105 (registration screen, subplanning surface, etc.). The work completion time, the actual number of disinfection work, etc.) may be displayed.

FIG. 12 is a display example on the display unit 206 of the settlement device 20. FIG. 12A shows the display contents of the display unit 206 on the settlement device 20 (the settlement device 20 designated by the operation of the settlement device designation button) after the operation of the settlement device designation button on the registration device 10. The settlement device 20 designated as a device that executes the settlement process by the registration device 10 displays a settlement screen (payment type selection screen) as shown in FIG. 12A on the display unit 206.

On the settlement screen (payment type selection screen), a total amount display field, a cash button, a credit (credit card) button, an electronic money button, and the like are arranged. The settlement device 20 displays the total amount in the total amount display column based on the registration data received directly from the registration device 10 or via another device (for example, the store controller 30 or the like). Further, the settlement device 20 accepts the selection (designation) of the payment type (payment method) by the cash button, the credit button, and the electronic money button.

FIG. 12B shows the display content of the display unit 206 in the scene following the scene of FIG. 12A. After operating the cash button, the settlement device 20 displays a settlement screen (a settlement screen when the input amount is less than the total amount) as shown in FIG. 12B.

FIG. 12C shows the display content of the display unit 206 in the scene following the scene of FIG. 12B. After the cash of 503 yen is inserted, the settlement device 20 displays a settlement screen (a settlement screen when the input amount is equal to or more than the total amount) as shown in FIG. 12 (C). The end button is a button for finishing the insertion of money.

FIG. 12 (D) shows the display contents of the display unit 206 in the scene following the scene of FIG. 12 (C). After operating the end button, the settlement device 20 displays a settlement screen (change notification screen) as shown in FIG. 12 (D). In addition, the settlement device 20 discharges change to the discharge port.

FIG. 12 (E) shows the display contents of the display unit 206 in the scene following the scene of FIG. 12 (D). After receiving the change, the settlement device 20 displays a settlement screen (receipt notification screen) as shown in FIG. 12 (D). That is, when the settlement device 20 recognizes the take-out of the change discharged to the discharge port when the settlement screen shown in FIG. 12 (D) is displayed on the display unit 206, it is shown in FIG. 12 (D). The settlement screen shown in FIG. 12F is displayed on the display unit 206 instead of the settlement screen. When the customer receives the receipt, the settlement terminal 20 displays an initial screen (for example, a payment type selection screen in which the total amount is not displayed) on the display unit 206 for the next customer.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, since the input amount (503 yen) exceeded the total amount (383 yen), the settlement screen (change notification screen) shown in FIG. 12 (D) was displayed, but the input amount was If it is equal to the total amount, the transition from FIG. 12 (C) to FIG. 12 (E) may be performed without displaying the settlement screen (change notification screen) shown in FIG. 12 (D).

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the registration device 10. Specifically, the flowchart of FIG. 13 shows the basic operation of the registration device 10 in one transaction (commodity registration of a certain customer). At the start of the flowchart of FIG. 13, it is assumed that no product has been registered. That is, in the disclosure of the flowchart of FIG. 13, the registration device 10 displays the registration screen as shown in FIG. 5 on the clerk display unit 105, and displays the screen as shown in FIG. 9 on the customer display unit 106. It is assumed that you are doing.

In the explanation of the flowchart of FIG. 13, whether or not the number of transactions continuously processed by the registration device 10 without performing the disinfection work on the registration device 10 exceeds a predetermined value (for example, “20”). It is assumed that the necessity (presence / absence) of the display of the small screen SG01 is determined based on the above.

The "disinfection determination counter" is a counter for determining the necessity of disinfection work for the device. In the flowchart of FIG. 13 (the same applies to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 18), the disinfection judgment counter is used to count up the number of transactions continuously processed in the device without performing disinfection work on the device. .. The value of the disinfection determination counter is counted up in each transaction (step S9) and initialized when the disinfection work is performed (step S17). That is, the value of the disinfection judgment counter indicates the number of transactions started after the last disinfection work was performed in the device. At the start of the flowchart of FIG. 13 (the same applies to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 18), the value of the disinfection determination counter is assumed to be “0”.

The "disinfection actual number counter" is a counter that records the actual number (number of operations) of disinfection work for the device. The value of the disinfection record counter is counted up when the disinfection work is performed (step S19), and is initialized at a predetermined time (for example, every business start time, midnight, etc.). That is, the value of the disinfection record counter indicates the record number of disinfection work per day for the device. At the start of the flowchart of FIG. 13 (the same applies to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 18), the value of the disinfection actual number counter is assumed to be “0”.

The above counters (counter for determining disinfection, counter for the number of actual disinfections) are stored for each device to be disinfected. Specifically, the disinfection determination counter of a certain device (the same applies to the disinfection record count counter) may be stored in a place accessible to the device (in its own device or in another device). For example, the disinfection determination counter of the registration device 10a (the same applies to the disinfection record count counter) may store the counter in the registration device 10a, or another device (for example, the store controller 30, the monitoring device 40, etc.). The counter may be stored in another registration device 10b, 10c, or an external server (for example, a cloud server 70 (described later)). The same applies to the disinfection determination counter (the same applies to the disinfection record count counter) of other devices (for example, the settlement device 20, the monitoring device 40, etc.). The device that stores the disinfection determination counter (same as the disinfection record counter) may store the disinfection determination counter (same as the disinfection record counter) in association with the device identification information that identifies each device.

In the explanation of the flowchart of FIG. 13 (the same applies to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 18), the registration device 10 has the value of the disinfection judgment counter of the own device (the value of the disinfection actual number counter of the own device is also the same) in the own device. ) Is memorized.

In the explanation of the flowchart of FIG. 13 (the same applies to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 18), the registration device 10 accepts the declaration of completion of the disinfection work (displays the disinfection completion button BT30) using the display unit 105 for the clerk. And. Further, during the disinfection work, the operation on the clerk display unit 105 (excluding the operation on the disinfection completion button BT30), the operation on the customer display unit 106, the operation on the key operation unit 108, and the scan by the scanner unit 104 are invalidated. It shall be.

Step S1: The registration device 10 determines whether or not the barcode of the product (product of one item) has been scanned by the scanner unit 104. If there is a scan (step S1: YES), the process proceeds to step S2. If there is no scan (step S1: NO), the process returns to step S1. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S1 until the barcode is scanned.

Step S2: The registration device 10 registers the product (the product whose barcode is scanned in step S1). Then, the process proceeds to step S3. Since one item of product has been registered, the registration device 10 displays the registration screen as shown in FIG. 6 on the clerk display unit 105, and displays the screen as shown in FIG. 10 on the customer display unit 106. do.

Step S3: The registration device 10 determines whether or not the barcode of the product (the product after each of the second and subsequent steps S3 is executed) has been scanned. If there is a scan (step S3: YES), the process proceeds to step S4. If there is no scan (step S3: NO), the process proceeds to step S5.

Step S4: The registration device 10 registers the product (the product whose barcode is scanned in step S3). Then, the process proceeds to step S5.

Step S5: The registration device 10 determines whether or not the subtotal button BT10 has been operated (touched). If there is an operation (step S5: YES), the process proceeds to step S6. If there is no operation (step S5: NO), the process returns to step S3.

Step S6: The registration device 10 displays the subplanning surface. That is, since the total button BT10 was operated, the registration device 10 displays the subplanning surface as shown in FIG. 7 on the clerk display unit 105. Then, the process proceeds to step S7.

Step S7: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation for designating the settlement device 20 (operation of the settlement device designation button). If there is an operation (step S7: YES), the process proceeds to step S8. If there is no operation (step S7: NO), the process returns to step S7. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S7 until there is an operation for designating the settlement device 20.

Step S8: The registration device 10 transmits the registration data to the settlement device 20 (the settlement device 20 designated in step S7). Then, the process proceeds to step S9.

Step S9: The registration device 10 counts up the value of the disinfection determination counter of its own device (adds “1”). Then, the process proceeds to step S10.

Step S10: The registration device 10 determines whether or not the value of the disinfection determination counter of the own device exceeds a predetermined value (for example, “20”) set in advance. The predetermined value (for example, "20") is a value (maximum value) allowed as the number of transactions in which the disinfection work is not continuously performed. If it exceeds the predetermined value (step S10: YES), the process proceeds to step S11. If the value does not exceed the predetermined value (step S10: NO), the flowchart of FIG. 13 ends.

Step S11: The registration device 10 displays a screen notifying the clerk that the disinfection work should be performed. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the registration device 10 displays a small screen SG01 on which the disinfection completion button BT30 is arranged on the clerk display unit 105. Further, the registration device 10 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 11 on the customer display unit 106. Then, the process proceeds to step S12.

Step S12: The registration device 10 invalidates operations other than the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work (for example, the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30). Specifically, the operation on the clerk display unit 105 (excluding the operation on the disinfection completion button BT30), the operation on the customer display unit 106, the operation on the key operation unit 108, and the scan by the scanner unit 104 are invalidated. Then, the process proceeds to step S14.

Step S14: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work (for example, the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30). If there is an operation (step S14: YES), the process proceeds to step S15. If there is no operation (step S14: NO), the process returns to step S14. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S14 until there is an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work.

Step S15: The registration device 10 erases the small screen displayed in step S11. That is, the registration device 10 displays the registration screen as shown in FIG. 5 on the clerk display unit 105, and displays the screen as shown in FIG. 9 on the customer display unit 106. Then, the process proceeds to step S16.

Step S16: The registration device 10 enables (releases the prohibition, restores) the operation invalidated in step S12. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.

Step S17: The registration device 10 initializes the value of the disinfection determination counter of the own device (substitutes “0”). Then, the process proceeds to step S18.

Step S18: The registration device 10 stores the current time as the completion time of the disinfection work of the own device. Then, the process proceeds to step S19.

Step S19: The registration device 10 counts up (adds “1”) the value of the disinfection record counter of its own device. Then, the flowchart of FIG. 13 ends.

According to the flowchart of FIG. 13, the disinfection work on the registration device 10 can be suitably managed.

For example, the registration device 10 displays a small screen SG01 when the number of transactions continuously processed in the device exceeds a predetermined value without performing disinfection work on the device (step S11). , You can have the clerk carry out the disinfection work.

In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the registration device 10 does not perform the disinfection work on the device, and the disinfection work is required based on whether or not the number of transactions continuously processed in the device exceeds a predetermined value. Although it is determined whether or not, the registration device 10 may determine whether or not the disinfection work is necessary based on whether or not the elapsed time from the last disinfection work in the device exceeds a predetermined value. The necessity of disinfection work may be determined based on whether or not the number of products continuously registered in the device exceeds a predetermined value without performing disinfection work on the device.

When determining the necessity of disinfection work based on whether or not the number of products continuously registered in the device exceeds a predetermined value without performing disinfection work on the device, perform disinfection work on the device. Whether or not disinfection work is necessary using the disinfection judgment counter, as in the case of determining the necessity of disinfection work based on whether or not the number of transactions continuously processed by the device exceeds a predetermined value without doing so. May be judged. Specifically, the number of the above-mentioned products may be counted up by using a counter for determining disinfection. That is, the registration device 10 counts up the value of the disinfection judgment counter (adds “1”) after registering each product, and for example, after transmitting the registration data, the value of the disinfection judgment counter is a predetermined value (predetermined value) set in advance. For example, the necessity of disinfection work may be determined based on whether or not it exceeds "200").

When determining the necessity of disinfection work based on whether or not the elapsed time from the last disinfection work in the device exceeds a predetermined value, the necessity of disinfection work is determined without using the disinfection judgment counter. May be good. Specifically, the registration device 10 requires disinfection work based on whether or not the elapsed time exceeds a preset predetermined value (for example, "60 (minutes)") after transmission of registration data, for example. May be judged.

Since the flowchart of FIG. 13 shows an operation of accepting a declaration of completion of disinfection work (displaying the disinfection completion button BT30) using the clerk display unit 105, the clerk display unit 105 is invalidated. (Step S12) was an invalidation mode (invalidation mode 1 of the clerk display unit 105) in which operations of buttons and the like other than the disinfection completion button BT30 were not accepted. If a declaration of completion of the disinfection work is accepted using a device other than the clerk display unit 105, the disabling of the clerk display unit 105 (step S12) is an invalidation of the touch sensor itself (the clerk display unit 105). It may be invalidation mode 2). In other words, when disabling the touch sensor itself as disabling the clerk display unit 105, a device other than the clerk display unit 105 (key operation unit 108, scanner unit 104, customer display unit 106, etc.) is used. All you have to do is accept the declaration of completion of the disinfection work.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the registration device 10. Specifically, the flowchart of FIG. 14 shows the basic operation of the registration device 10 regarding the disinfection work during the non-execution of the transaction (commodity registration of a certain customer). At the start of the flowchart of FIG. 14, it is assumed that no product has been registered. That is, in the disclosure of the flowchart of FIG. 14, the registration device 10 displays the registration screen as shown in FIG. 5 on the clerk display unit 105, and displays the screen as shown in FIG. 9 on the customer display unit 106. It is assumed that you are doing.

Step S21: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation (operation of the disinfection guidance button BT11) for displaying guidance information regarding disinfection. If there is an operation (step S21: YES), the process proceeds to step S22. If there is no operation (step S21: NO), the process proceeds to step S24.

Step S22: The registration device 10 displays guidance information regarding disinfection. For example, the registration device 10 may display (not shown) a small screen (not shown) for guiding information on disinfection on the front of the registration screen of FIG. 5 (superimposed) on the store clerk display unit 105. Further, the registration device 10 may display a screen for providing guidance information regarding disinfection instead of the registration screen shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S23.

Step S23: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation (not shown) for erasing the guidance information regarding disinfection. If there is an operation (step S23: YES), the process proceeds to step S24. If there is no operation (step S23: NO), the process returns to step S23. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S23 until there is an operation to erase it. The key operation unit 108 may be provided with a button for erasing the disinfection guidance information, and when displaying a small screen (not shown) for disinfection guidance information in step S22, the small screen is displayed. An erase button may be provided on the screen.

Step S24: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation for declaring the start of the disinfection work (for example, the operation of the disinfection start button BT12). If there is an operation (step S24: YES), the process proceeds to step S31. If there is no operation (step S24: NO), the flowchart of FIG. 14 ends.

Step S24: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation for declaring the start of the disinfection work (for example, the operation of the disinfection start button BT12). If there is an operation (step S24: YES), the process proceeds to step S31. If there is no operation (step S24: NO), the flowchart of FIG. 14 ends.

Hereinafter, each process of steps S31 to S39 (each process in the broken line frame P) is the same as the process of steps S11 to S19 shown in FIG. 13 (each process in the broken line frame P) as shown in FIG. Therefore, the description thereof will be omitted.

According to the flowchart of FIG. 14, the disinfection work for the registration device 10 can be suitably managed. For example, when the clerk voluntarily performs the disinfection work during the period of waiting for customers, the registration device 10 initializes the value of the disinfection determination counter (steps S37 to S39). Therefore, the disinfection work during the period of waiting for customers can be suitably promoted.

FIG. 15 is an example of a receipt. Specifically, FIG. 15A is an example of a receipt printed and issued by the settlement device 20.

The settlement device 20 prints and issues a receipt as shown in FIG. 15 (A), for example, when the settlement screen (receipt notification screen) of FIG. 12 (E) is displayed. On the receipt of FIG. 15 (A), information on the current business hours (during the infection control measures period) (reference numeral a in FIG. 15 (A)) and normal business hours (when not during the infection control measures period) are shown. Information (reference numeral b in FIG. 15 (A)), information on efforts for infection control measures at the store (reference numeral c in FIG. 15 (A)), and bean knowledge on infection control (code in FIG. 15 (A)). d) etc. are printed.

The receipt of FIG. 15 (B) is further provided with a handing portion (clerk grip portion; reference numeral e in FIG. 15 (B)). There are two methods for cutting the receipt: a full cut that completely cuts the front and back, and a partial cut that cuts the front and back in a state where they can be easily separated (connected so that they can be easily separated). Partial cutting is realized by adjusting the movable amount of the cutting blade. The receipt of FIG. 15 (B) is in the clerk grip portion (in FIG. 15 (B)) connected to the upper part of the receipt body (rear part in the discharge direction of the receipt body) by a partial cut (reference numeral f in FIG. 15 (B)). It is printed and issued so that the reference numeral e) can be provided. When the clerk grabs the clerk grip and presents it to the customer, and the customer grabs and pulls the receipt body, the clerk grip and the receipt body are separated, and only the receipt body can be handed over to the customer. In the case of the receipt shown in FIG. 15B, since the clerk does not touch the receipt body at all, it is possible to deal with nervous customers.

FIG. 16 is an example of a disinfectant installed in a store. As shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the disinfectant 80 includes a container portion 801 filled with a disinfectant (disinfectant), an operation portion (pressing portion) 302 that accepts operations, and a disinfectant. It is provided with an outlet from which is discharged. FIG. 16A shows a state in which the operation unit 802 is not pushed down (a state in which the disinfectant is not discharged from the discharge port 803; a closed state). FIG. 16B shows a state in which the operation unit 802 is pushed down (a state in which the disinfectant is discharged from the discharge port 803. An open state). An inclination detection device 90 is installed in the operation unit 802. When the operation unit 802 is pushed down from the state of FIG. 16A to the state of FIG. 16B, the inclination detection device 90 changes from the state of FIG. 16A to the state of FIG. 16B. Detects the tilted (rotated) tilted angle (rotated angle). The operation unit 802 is urged to be in the state shown in FIG. 16 (A), and when there is no operation (pressing pressure) on the operation unit 802, the state shown in FIG. 16 (B) is changed to FIG. 16 (A). ) Return to the state. Note that FIG. 16C will be described later.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the inclination detection device 90. FIG. 17A is an explanatory diagram illustrating the functions and the like of the inclination detection device 90. 17 (B) to 17 (D) are explanatory views for explaining the detection of the inclination (rotation) of the inclination detection device 90.

As shown in FIG. 17A, the tilt detection device 90 includes an MCU (Micro Controller Unit) 510, a tilt detection unit 920, and a communication unit 930.

The MCU 910 is a microprocessor that controls the tilt detection device 90. The MCU910 is equipped with a storage unit (memory) and the like in addition to the processing unit. The MCU 910 controls the operation of the tilt detection device 90 by reading and executing a program (a control program for the tilt detection device 90) stored inside. The MCU 910 functions as a setting storage unit 911 and an angle determination unit 912.

The tilt detection unit 920 is a tilt sensor that detects the tilt (rotation) of the tilt detection device 90. The tilt detection unit 920 can detect the tilt angle (rotation angle) in the tilt motion (rotation motion) when the tilt detection device 90 tilts (rotates) in a certain direction. The tilt detection unit 920 detects the tilt (rotation) of the tilt detection device 90, and outputs information indicating the tilt angle (rotation angle) to the angle determination unit 912. For example, when the tilt detection device 90 tilts (rotates) from the posture shown in FIG. 17 (B) to the posture shown in FIG. 17 (C), the tilt detection unit 920 sets a as the tilt amount (rotation amount). The degree is output to the angle determination unit 912 (or + a degree is output to the angle determination unit 912 including the inclination direction). Further, when the tilt detection device 90 tilts (rotates) from the posture shown in FIG. 17 (D) to the posture shown in FIG. 17 (C), the tilt detection unit 920 tilts (rotates) the tilt amount (rotation amount). B degree is output to the angle determination unit 912 (or −b degree is output to the angle determination unit 912 including the inclination direction).

The setting storage unit 911 stores the set angle used for the determination by the angle determination unit 912. In this example, the setting storage unit 911 stores the rotation angle of the operation unit 802 when the disinfectant liquid is discharged from the disinfectant 80 as the set angle. Further, the setting storage unit 911 may store information for identifying the inclination detection device 90 (detection device identification information).

The angle determination unit 912 inputs an inclination angle (rotation angle) from the inclination detection unit 920. When the tilt angle is input from the tilt detection unit 920, the angle determination unit 912 determines whether or not the tilt angle input from the tilt detection unit 920 is equal to or greater than the set angle stored in the setting storage unit 911. That is, the angle determination unit 912 determines whether or not the operation unit 802 of the disinfectant 80 has rotated to the extent that the disinfectant solution is discharged. Therefore, it can be said that the angle determination unit 912 is a disinfectant release determination unit that determines whether or not the disinfectant has been released.

When the angle determination unit 912 determines that the inclination angle input from the inclination detection unit 920 is equal to or greater than the set angle stored in the setting storage unit 911 (that is, the disinfectant 80 is operated until the disinfectant is discharged. When it is determined that the part 802 has rotated, that is, when it is determined that the disinfectant solution has been released from the disinfectant 80), a notification that the disinfectant solution has been released from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant solution release notification) should be transmitted. Controls the communication unit 930.

The communication unit 930 transmits / receives information to / from other devices. For example, the communication unit 930 transmits a disinfectant release notification to the outside (for example, the registration device 10 or the like) under the control of the angle determination unit 912.

The tilt detection device 90 may include a time measuring unit (clock). When the time measuring unit is provided, the inclination detection device 90 may measure, for example, the remaining time until a certain time or the elapsed time from a certain state.

Although the tilt detection device 90 includes the MCU 910 in FIG. 17A, the tilt detection device 90 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM, and a RAM instead of the MCU 910. It may be.

Although the example in which the inclination detection device 90 is installed in the disinfectant 80 has been described above, the disinfectant 80 may have the function of the inclination detection device 90. That is, the disinfectant 80 and the inclination detection device 90 may be separate or integrated.

(Other disinfectants)
Instead of the disinfectant 80 shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the disinfectant 81 shown in FIG. 16C may be used. The disinfectant 81 shown in FIG. 16C has a detection unit that detects whether there is an object in the discharge port and a discharge unit that discharges the disinfectant from the discharge port when the detection unit detects that there is an object in the discharge port. The disinfectant 81 is provided with a transmission unit and the like for transmitting a notification (disinfection liquid release notification) to the outside (for example, a registration device 10 or the like) that the disinfectant has been discharged.

When the object of disinfection is a device, bring the medium (paper or cloth sheet) used for the disinfection work of the device to the lower side of the discharge port of the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) and disinfect on the medium. The agent may be released. On the other hand, when the target of disinfection is a person (palm, fingertip, etc.), the disinfectant may be discharged to the hand by bringing the hand to the lower side of the discharge port of the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81).

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the registration device 10. When the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed, the registration device 10 may execute the process of the flowchart of FIG. The flowchart of FIG. 18 is a modification of each of the flowchart of FIG. 13 and the flowchart of FIG. More specifically, each process in the broken line frame P of FIG. 18 is another example of each process in the broken line frame P of the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 14. That is, the process of the step of FIG. 18 is a process following step S10 (YES) of the flowchart of FIG. Further, the process of the step of FIG. 18 is a process following step S24 (YES) of the flowchart of FIG.

Step S41: The registration device 10 displays a screen notifying the clerk that the disinfection work should be performed, as in step S11 of the flowchart of FIG. Further, the registration device 10 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 11 on the customer display unit 106. Then, the process proceeds to step S42.

Step S42: Similar to step S12 in the flowchart of FIG. 13, the registration device 10 invalidates operations other than the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work (for example, the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30). Then, the process proceeds to step S43.

Step S43: The registration device 10 determines whether or not the disinfectant release notification has been received. That is, the registration device 10 determines whether or not the disinfectant solution has been released from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81). If it has been received (step S43: YES), the process proceeds to step S44. If it has not been received (step S44: NO), the process returns to step S43. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S43 until the disinfectant liquid release notification is received (until the disinfectant liquid is discharged from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81)).

Step S44: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there has been an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work, as in step S14 of the flowchart of FIG. If there is an operation (step S44: YES), the process proceeds to step S45. If there is no operation (step S44: NO), the process returns to step S44.

Step S43 and step S44 are supplemented. The registration device 10 determines whether or not the disinfectant release notification has been received in step S43, and determines whether or not there has been an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work in step S44, but receives the disinfectant release notification. However, when the operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work is accepted, the process may proceed to step S45. In order to accept the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfectant work after receiving the disinfectant release notification, the registration device 10 may not be able to perform the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfectant work before receiving the disinfectant release notice (for example). The disinfection completion button BT30 may be displayed in gray down).

Step S45: The registration device 10 erases the small screen displayed in step S41 in the same manner as in step S15 of the flowchart of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S46.
Step S46: The registration device 10 enables the operation invalidated in step S42 in the same manner as in step S16 of the flowchart of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S47.
Step S47: The registration device 10 initializes the value of the disinfection determination counter of the own device in the same manner as in step S17 of the flowchart of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S48.
Step S48: The registration device 10 stores the current time as the completion time of the disinfection work of the own device, as in step S18 of the flowchart of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S49.
Step S49: The registration device 10 counts up the value of the disinfection record count counter of its own device in the same manner as in step S19 of the flowchart of FIG. Then, the flowchart of FIG. 18 ends.

According to the flowchart of FIG. 18, the registration device 10 does not erase the small screen SG01 unless the disinfectant solution is discharged from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81). Therefore, the disinfection work can be surely performed.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an outline of the operation of the settlement device 20 and the like. Specifically, FIG. 19A is a flowchart showing an outline of the operation of the settlement device 20 when the disinfection work is completed. The flowchart of FIG. 19A starts when the disinfection process of the settlement device 20 is completed. The completion of the disinfection work in the settlement device 20 is the same as the completion of the disinfection work in the registration device 10 described with reference to FIGS. 13, 14, and 18.

In the flowchart of FIG. 19 (A) (the same applies to the flowchart of FIGS. 19 (B) and 19 (C)), the value of the disinfection judgment counter is continuously processed in the device without performing disinfection work on the device. It shall be the number of transactions (number of people) made.

In the description of the flowchart of FIG. 18 (the same applies to the flowcharts of FIGS. 19B and 19C), it is assumed that the settlement device 20 stores the value of the disinfection determination counter of the own device in the own device. .. Further, it is assumed that the monitoring device 40 stores the values of the disinfection determination counters of all the settlement devices 20.

Step S51: The settlement device 20 initializes the value of the disinfection determination counter (substitutes “0”). That is, the settlement device 20 updates (initializes) the disinfection determination counter stored in the own device. Then, the process proceeds to step S52.

Step S52: The settlement device 20 counts up the value of the disinfection record counter (adds “1”). That is, the settlement device 20 updates (counts up) the disinfection record count counter stored in the own device. Then, the process proceeds to step S53.

Step S53: The settlement device 20 transmits the updated counter value to the monitoring device 40. Specifically, the settlement device 20 transmits the value of the initialized disinfection determination counter and the value of the counted-up disinfection record counter to the monitoring device 40 together with the device identification information of the settlement device 20. Then, the process proceeds to step S54.

Step S54: The settlement device 20 stores the current time as the completion time of the disinfection work. Then, the flowchart of FIG. 19A ends.

FIG. 19B is a flowchart showing an outline of the operation of the settlement device 20 when the settlement procedure is completed. The flowchart of FIG. 19B starts when the settlement process of the settlement device 20 is completed (for example, it starts when the customer operates the end button, and starts when the customer receives the receipt).

Step S55: The settlement device 20 counts up the value of the disinfection determination counter (adds “1”). That is, the settlement device 20 updates (counts up) the disinfection determination counter stored in the own device. Then, the process proceeds to step S56.

Step S56: The settlement device 20 transmits the updated counter value to the monitoring device 40. Specifically, the settlement device 20 transmits the count-up value of the disinfection determination counter to the monitoring device 40 together with the device identification information of the settlement device 20. Then, the flowchart of FIG. 19B ends.

FIG. 19C is a flowchart showing an outline of the operation of the monitoring device 40 when the value of the counter is received. The flowchart of FIG. 19C starts when the monitoring device 40 receives the value of the disinfection judgment counter (or the value of the disinfection judgment counter and the value of the disinfection actual number counter) from any of the settlement devices 20. ..

Step S61: The monitoring device 40 updates the value of the counter. More specifically, when the monitoring device 40 receives from a certain settlement device 20 the value of the disinfection judgment counter and the value of the disinfection record count counter together with the device identification information of the settlement device 20, the monitoring device 40 corresponds to the device identification information. Update the value of each counter that is attached and stored. That is, when the disinfection work for a certain settlement device 20 is completed, the monitoring device 40 initializes the value of the disinfection determination counter of the settlement device 20 and counts up the value of the disinfection actual number counter of the settlement device 20. do. Further, when the monitoring device 40 receives the value of the disinfection determination counter together with the device identification information of the settlement device 20 from a certain settlement device 20, the disinfection determination counter stored in association with the device identification information is stored. Update the value of. That is, when the transaction is completed in a certain settlement device 20, the monitoring device 40 counts up the value of the disinfection determination counter of the settlement device 20. That is, the monitoring device 40 manages the values of the latest disinfection determination counters and the disinfection actual number counters of all the settlement devices 20. Then, the process proceeds to step S62.

Step S62: The monitoring device 40 transmits the updated counter value to the registration device 10. For example, when the monitoring device 40 updates the counter value of a certain settlement device 20, the monitoring device 40 transmits the updated counter value to the registration device 10 together with the device identification information of the settlement device 20. As a result, the latest counter values of all the settlement devices 20 (the latest disinfection determination counter values and the latest disinfection actual number counter values) are reflected in all the registration devices 10.

According to the flowchart of FIG. 19, the disinfection work for the settlement device 20 can be suitably managed.

For example, the settlement device 20 can display the status of the disinfection work (the completion time of the last disinfection work). In the example shown in FIG. 12 (A), the settlement device 20 displays that "this machine performed disinfection work at 0 o'clock x minute".

Further, the monitoring device 40 may display the status of the disinfection work of each of the settlement devices 20. For example, the monitoring device 40 may display (list display) or print (list and print) the number of transactions processed continuously without performing disinfection work on each of the settlement devices 20. The higher the value (number of transactions), the more the settlement device 20 requires disinfection work. Therefore, the clerk decides which settlement device 20 should be disinfected and which settlement device 20 should be disinfected with priority in the monitoring device 40. It can be easily judged.

In addition, the monitoring device 40 should perform disinfection work on the settlement device 20 when the number of transactions processed continuously without performing disinfection work on the settlement device 20 exceeds a predetermined value. May be notified. For example, the monitoring device 40 may warn the registration device 10 that the disinfection work should be performed on the settlement device 20 on the list display screen, or may notify the registration device 10 that the disinfection work should be performed on the settlement device 20. You may send it. As a result, the settlement device 40 and the registration device 10 can immediately recognize the settlement device 20 that requires disinfection work.

Further, the registration device 10 may display the status of the disinfection work of each of the settlement devices 20 based on the information from the monitoring device 40. For example, the registration device 10 continuously processes each payment device 20 in the vicinity of each payment device designation button (201 registration button BT21, 202 registration button BT22, 203 registration button BT23) without performing disinfection work. The number of transactions made may be displayed. The higher the numerical value (number of transactions), the more the settlement device 20 requires disinfection work. Therefore, the clerk decides which settlement device 20 should be disinfected and which settlement device 20 should be disinfected with priority in the registration device 10. It can be easily judged.

Further, if the registration device 10 differs in the display mode (for example, display color, etc.) of each settlement device designation button according to the number of transactions processed continuously without performing disinfection work on each settlement device 20. You may let me. Thereby, intuitively or at first glance, it is possible to determine which settlement device 20 should be disinfected and which settlement device 20 should be disinfected with priority.

Further, when the number of transactions processed continuously without performing the disinfection work on a certain settlement device 20 exceeds a predetermined value, the registration device 10 should perform the disinfection work on the settlement device 20. You may notify the fact. For example, when the number of transactions of a certain settlement device 20 exceeds a predetermined value, the registration device 10 notifies that the disinfection work should be performed in the vicinity of the settlement device designation button of the settlement device 20. An image may be displayed. For example, when the number of transactions of the settlement device 20c (203 registration) exceeds a predetermined value, the registration device 10 is in the vicinity of the 203 registration button BT23 of the settlement device 20c (203 registration) as shown in FIG. Image GA01 (an image displaying the character "erased" of "disinfection") is displayed on the screen. As a result, the settlement device 40 and the registration device 10 can immediately recognize the settlement device 20 that requires disinfection work.

Further, the registration device 10 may notify the settlement device 20 having the minimum number of transactions continuously processed without performing the disinfection work as the recommended settlement device 20. For example, the registration device 10 continuously processes the settlement device 20 without performing the disinfection work in the vicinity of the settlement device designation button that specifies the settlement device 20 having the minimum number of transactions processed continuously without performing the disinfection work. Even if an image (for example, an image displaying the "su" character of "recommended", not shown) is displayed to notify that the settlement device 20 has the smallest number of transactions (recommended settlement device 20). good.

In addition, the monitoring device 40 (the same applies to the registration device 10) replaces or in addition to the number of transactions processed continuously without performing the disinfection work for each settlement device 20, and the registration work of each settlement device 20. The actual number of achievements (number of operations) may be displayed.

The registration device 10, the monitoring device 40, and the settlement device 20 may be able to confirm (view) the detailed information of each device. For example, the settlement device 20 can confirm the detailed information of the change machine 212 included in the own device (the number of stored sheets for each denomination, etc.), and the registration device 10 and the monitoring device 40 can confirm the detailed information of the change machine 212 of the settlement device 20. (Number of sheets stored for each denomination, etc.) can be confirmed. Similarly, in each of the registration device 10, the monitoring device 40, and the settlement device 20, the actual information on the disinfection work of the own device or other device (the last disinfection work). It may be possible to confirm the completion time, the actual number of disinfection operations (number of operations), etc.). For example, the registration device 10 (the same applies to the monitoring device 40) may display the record information of the disinfection work of the settlement device 20 for each device or in a list as the record information of the disinfection work of the other device. In the embodiment in which disinfection is performed for each site (position, location) (described later), the registration device 10 (the same applies to the monitoring device 40 and the settlement device 20) may display the actual information of the disinfection work for each disinfection site. good. For example, the registration device 10 (the same applies to the monitoring device 40) associates the device identification information that identifies the settlement device 20 with each disinfection site (display unit 206, scanner unit 204, change machine 212, printing unit 211, etc.). For each time, the time and number of times of disinfection may be displayed (list display) or printed (listed and printed).

Further, as partially described above, the number of transactions in which a certain device (registration device 10, monitoring device 40, settlement device 20, etc.) is continuously processed without performing disinfection work exceeds a predetermined value. If the number of products processed continuously exceeds the specified value, or if the elapsed time (or the value based on the elapsed time) from the last disinfection work exceeds the specified value, another device You may notify to that the disinfection work should be carried out. As a result, it is possible to confirm that the disinfection work is required in other devices regardless of which device requires the disinfection work. The actual information (latest actual information) of the disinfection work of each device is provided on the condition that each device itself reaches a predetermined threshold value (or the predetermined value or a value based on the predetermined value) on a regular basis. ) It may be transmitted, or it may be transmitted in response to an inquiry from another device. The process in which each device makes an inquiry to each of the other devices may be performed periodically (automatically), or may be performed based on pressing the disinfection status confirmation button provided in each device.

In the flowchart of FIG. 19A, the settlement device 20 has described an example in which the value of the counter for disinfection determination after updating (after initialization) is transmitted to the monitoring device 40, but the settlement device 20 is disinfected. A notification of completion (notification of completion of disinfection work) may be transmitted to the monitoring device 40. When the monitoring device 40 receives the disinfection completion notification and the device identification information, the monitoring device 40 receives the device identification information as in the case of receiving the value of the disinfection determination counter after the update (after initialization) and the device identification information. The value of the disinfection judgment counter stored in association with is may be initialized.

Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 19, an example in which the disinfection work is managed based on the number of transactions (number of people) continuously processed in the device without performing the disinfection work on the device has been described. The disinfection work may be managed based on the elapsed time from the disinfection work.

When the disinfection work is managed based on the elapsed time from the last disinfection work in the device, the settlement device 20, the monitoring device 40, and the registration device 10 may operate as follows. The settlement device 20 transmits a disinfection completion notification to the monitoring device 40 when the disinfection work is completed. The monitoring device 40 stores the elapsed time from the reception time of the disinfection completion notification (that is, the elapsed time from the disinfection work of each settlement device 20) for each settlement device 20. The monitoring device 40 transmits information regarding the elapsed time of each of the settlement devices 20 to the registration device 10 at predetermined time intervals (for example, every minute). The registration device 10 displays the status of the disinfection work of each of the settlement devices 20 based on the information received from the monitoring device 40, and notifies that the disinfection work should be performed. Further, when the monitoring device 40 receives the disinfection completion notification from a certain settlement device 20, the monitoring device 40 transmits the disinfection completion notification to the registration device 10.

The settlement device 20 may transmit information on disinfection (value of the disinfection determination counter, value of the disinfection record count counter, disinfection completion notification, etc.) to a device other than the monitoring device 40. For example, the settlement device 20 is one of a registration device 10, a store controller 30, a registration settlement device 50 (described later), a mobile terminal 60 (described later), and a cloud server 70 (described later) in place of or in addition to the monitoring device 40. Information regarding disinfection may be transmitted to the above devices. That is, the status of disinfection in the settlement device 20 (when it was disinfected, how many people operated it after disinfection, etc.) is shared by each device in the sales system 1 (or the sales system 2 in the second embodiment). It may be done.

Further, the status of disinfection in devices other than the settlement device 20 may also be shared by each device in the sales system 1 (or the sales system 2 in the second embodiment). For example, the status of disinfection in the registration device 10 is displayed on one or more of the other registration device 10, the store controller 30, the registration settlement device 50 (described later), and the cloud server 70 (described later). May be good.

In addition, the printing unit 513 may print and issue an accounting ticket (registered trademark). The printing unit 513 can rotatably change the direction from the clerk side to the customer side and from the customer side to the clerk side (direction of the medium issuing port). The orientation of the printing unit 513 may be changed manually, or may be automatically changed (mechanically controlled, etc.) according to, for example, a shift (switching) of an operation mode (details will be described later). It should be noted that the correctness of the orientation of the printing unit 513 (matching or mismatching of the correspondence with the preset operation mode) may be detected by a sensor or the like.

The audio output unit 514 outputs audio. For example, the voice output unit 214 outputs voice guidance and the like. The registration settlement device 50 may include a buzzer that outputs a confirmation sound and a warning sound in place of or in addition to the voice output unit 514.

The communication unit 515 is a communication interface for communicating with an external device (another registered settlement device 50, settlement device 20, store controller 30, monitoring device 40) via LAN 11.

The registration settlement device 50 can further detect the image pickup unit (camera), the timekeeping unit (clock), the proximity sensor that can detect whether or not there is a human on the clerk side, and the presence or absence of a human on the customer side. It may be provided with a proximity sensor or the like.

As described above, the registration settlement device 50 has a display unit (clerk side display unit 510, customer side display unit 505) and a scanner unit (clerk side scanner unit 512, customer) on both sides (clerk side and customer side), respectively. A side scanner unit 506) is provided, and a payment unit (card payment unit 508, cash payment unit 509) is provided on one side (customer side).

The registration settlement device 50 has a plurality of operation modes. Hereinafter, the operation mode included in the registration settlement device 50 will be described. The operation mode described below is an operation mode during normal business operation (mode related to registration processing and settlement processing). Therefore, for example, the totaling mode for totaling and inquiring sales and sales, the maintenance mode for sales staff and maintenance staff to perform setting work and maintenance work, the training mode for newcomers to perform training, etc. are all as follows. Does not correspond to the operation mode described in.

Further, in this example, an example in which the registered settlement device 50 has the following four types of operation modes (first to fourth modes) will be described, but the registered settlement device 50 has at least two types of operation modes (for example, for example). It suffices to have two types, a first mode and a second mode).

(1st mode)
In the first mode, the clerk side executes the registration process (using the clerk side display unit 510, the clerk side scanner unit 512, etc.), and the customer side (using the card payment unit 508, the cash payment unit 509, etc.) makes the payment. This is the operation mode for executing the process. That is, the first mode is an operation mode in which the clerk and the customer face each other in one registered settlement device 50, and the clerk is made to register the product and the customer is made to make the settlement. That is, the registration settlement device 50 in the first mode functions as a face-to-face semi-self-registration. The registration settlement device 50 in the first mode completes the process from product registration to settlement by itself.

(Second mode)
The second mode is an operation mode in which both the registration process and the settlement process are executed on the customer side. That is, the second mode is an operation mode for allowing the customer to register and settle the product in one registered settlement device 50. That is, the registration settlement device 50 in the second mode functions as a full self-registration. The registration settlement device 50 in the second mode completes the process from product registration to settlement by itself.

(3rd mode)
The third mode is an operation mode in which the clerk executes the registration process. That is, the third mode is an operation mode for having the clerk exclusively register the product in one registration settlement device 50. That is, the registration settlement device 50 in the third mode functions as a registration device (for example, the registration device 10 and the like shown in FIG. 2 and the like). Since the registered settlement device 50 in the third mode does not execute the settlement process, the products registered in the registered settlement device 50 in the third mode can be compared with other devices (for example, the settlement device 20 shown in FIG. 2 and the like, and the fourth mode). The registered settlement device 50, etc.) executes the settlement process. Specifically, the registration settlement device 50 in the third mode transmits registration data to the other device (or may issue a checkout ticket) in order to cause the other device to execute the settlement process.

(4th mode)
The fourth mode is an operation mode in which the customer side executes the settlement process. That is, the fourth mode is an operation mode for allowing the customer to make a payment exclusively in one registered payment device 50. That is, the registered settlement device 50 in the fourth mode functions as a settlement device (for example, the settlement device 20 shown in FIG. 2 or the like). Since the registration settlement device 50 in the fourth mode does not execute the registration process, the settlement process is performed for the products registered in other devices (for example, the registration device 10 shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the registration settlement device 50 in the third mode, etc.). Run. Specifically, the registration settlement device 50 in the fourth mode receives the registration data transmitted by the other device and executes the settlement process (also, reads the checkout ticket printed and issued by the other device). Execute the settlement process.

In the registration settlement device 50 of the first mode, another device (for example, the settlement device 20 shown in FIG. 2 or the like, the registration settlement device 50 of the fourth mode, etc.) may be made to execute the settlement process. For example, if the customer side of the own device can use it immediately, the clerk will make the payment on the customer side of the own device, and if the customer side of the own device cannot use it immediately (if the previous customer is still paying, the change is insufficient, etc.) In the case of), another device may be allowed to perform the settlement. As a mode for causing the other device to execute the settlement process, the registration settlement device 50 may transmit the registration data to the other device (or may issue a checkout ticket, as in the third mode). ).

Further, in the registration settlement device 50 of the first mode, the settlement process is also executed for the products registered in other devices (for example, the registration device 10 shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the registration settlement device 50 of the third mode, etc.). You may. For example, the clerk may have the registered settlement device 50 execute the settlement process when the customer side of the registration settlement device 50 in the first mode can use it immediately. As a mode of executing the settlement process for the product registered in the other device, the settlement process is executed by receiving the registration data transmitted by the other device as in the case of the fourth mode (also, the other device). Read the printed and issued accounting voucher and execute the settlement process).

Further, it has been explained that the second mode is an operation mode in which both the registration process and the settlement process are executed on the customer side, but the registration settlement device 50 in the second mode can also register the product on the clerk side. You may do it. For example, the clerk may register the product on the clerk side at the same time when the customer takes time to register the product on the customer side.

Further, in the registration settlement device 50 of the second mode, the settlement process is also executed for the products registered in other devices (for example, the registration device 10 shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the registration settlement device 50 of the third mode, etc.). You may. For example, the clerk may have the registered settlement device 50 execute the settlement process when the customer side of the registration settlement device 50 in the second mode can use it immediately. As a mode of executing the settlement process for the product registered in the other device, the settlement process is executed by receiving the registration data transmitted by the other device as in the case of the fourth mode (also, the other device). Read the printed and issued accounting voucher and execute the settlement process).

(Switching of operation mode (transition))
Next, switching (transition) of the operation mode will be described. The operation mode of the registration settlement device 50 is switched based on the operation of the clerk (mode switching operation, recognition of the clerk code, etc.). For example, each time the mode switching button 511a arranged on the key operation unit 511 is operated, the operation modes are sequentially changed (first mode → second mode → third mode → fourth mode → fifth mode → first mode → 2nd mode → ...) You may switch.

Further, the operation mode of the registration settlement device 50 may be switched regardless of the operation of the clerk. For example, the registration settlement device 50 may switch the operation mode based on a mode switching command (mode switching instruction) from another device (other registration settlement device 50, registration device 10, monitoring device 40, etc.). Further, the registration settlement device 50 may switch the operation mode based on a time condition (for example, an elapsed time since the last operation, a scheduled time according to a schedule, etc.). Further, the registration settlement device 50 advances the processing (for example, reception of registration data, completion of settlement processing based on the received registration data, reading of the accounting ticket, completion of settlement processing based on the accounting ticket, change and receipt paper. The operation mode may be switched based on the remaining amount of the paper, etc.).

Further, a motion sensor, an NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna, or the like may be provided on the clerk side or the customer side, and the mode may be switched to an appropriate mode depending on the presence or absence of the clerk and the presence or absence of the customer. For example, even in the face-to-face mode (first and third modes), if the clerk determines that he / she has left the place, it is inefficient to leave the face-to-face mode as it is, so the full self mode (second mode) is automatically performed. Mode) may be switched. As a result, the clerk does not have to perform the operation of switching the mode at his / her own discretion when leaving the cash register, and can leave the cash register without worrying about anything.

Although the registered settlement device 50 has been described above, the registered settlement device 50 can execute the same processing related to the disinfection work as the registration device 10 and the settlement device 20.

When the operation mode is the third mode (the same applies to the first mode), the registration settlement device 50 functions in the same manner as the registration device 10 as described above. Therefore, when the operation mode is the third mode (the same applies to the first mode), the registration settlement device 50 displays a screen as shown in FIGS. 5 to 11, and is shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. It may operate as follows.

When the operation mode is the third mode, the registration settlement device 50 functions in the same manner as the registration device 10 as described above. Therefore, when the operation mode is the third mode, the registration settlement device 50 may display a screen as shown in FIGS. 5 to 11 and operate as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.

Further, as described above, the registration settlement device 50 can operate even when the operation mode is the first mode in the same manner as when the operation mode is the third mode. Therefore, even when the operation mode is the first mode. , The screen as shown in FIGS. 5 to 11 may be displayed, and the operation may be performed as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.

When the operation mode is the fourth mode, the registered settlement device 50 functions in the same manner as the settlement device 20 as described above. Therefore, when the operation mode is the fourth mode, the registration settlement device 50 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 12, operates as shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, and operates as shown in FIGS. 19A and 15A. ) May be printed and issued.

Further, as described above, the registration settlement device 50 can operate in the same manner as in the fourth mode even when the operation mode is the first mode or the second mode, so that the operation mode is the first. Even in the first mode or the second mode, the screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed, the operation is as shown in FIGS. 19 (A) and 19 (B), and the screen is shown in FIG. 15 (A). Such receipts may be printed and issued.

The registration settlement device 50 may print and issue a receipt as shown in FIG. 15 (B) in place of or in addition to the receipt as shown in FIG. 15 (A). For example, in the registration settlement device 50, when the operation mode is the first mode and the direction of the printing unit 513 is the clerk side, the clerk hands the receipt to the customer. In such a case, the registration settlement device 50 issues a receipt provided with a clerk grip portion (reference numeral e in FIG. 15 (B)) as shown in FIG. 15 (B). The same applies to a general registered settlement device (not shown. A general POS cash register in which a clerk executes registration processing and settlement processing) having a configuration different from that of the registration settlement device 50.

The registration settlement device 50 may be provided with sensors (distance sensors or the like) capable of detecting an object (human hand) on the left side and the right side of the customer side scanner unit 506, respectively. By providing the sensor, the registration settlement device 50 can determine whether or not the customer's product registration is fraudulent, for example, in the case of the second mode (when operating as a full self-registration). In the second mode registration settlement device 50, the customer's product registration work involves taking out the product from the left basket (the basket in which the purchased product is placed in the store) and attaching the barcode to the taken out product. Is read by the customer side scanner unit 506, registered, and moved to the left basket (the basket in which the registered product is placed). In other words, it is a series of operations such as reading a barcode when moving a product from the left side to the right side.

(When it is judged that the registration was done correctly)
(1) The sensor on the left side detects the hand.
(2) The customer side scanner unit 506 recognizes (reads) the barcode.
(3) The sensor on the right side detects the hand.
When the registration settlement device 50 detects and recognizes in the above order, it determines that the above series of operations have been performed, and determines that the registration has been performed correctly.

(When determining that registration is not performed correctly (example))
(1) The sensor on the left side detects the hand.
(2) The sensor on the right side detects the hand.
When the registration settlement device 50 detects in the above order, it determines that the registration is not performed correctly because the barcode is not recognized. After the determination, an error may be notified. If the customer-side scanner unit 506 is unfamiliar with reading the barcode or pretends to read the barcode, the sensor on the right side detects the hand without recognizing the barcode as described above.

The sensor (distance sensor) may have a measurement distance of about 1 meter (can recognize an object up to about 1 meter away) and can detect the distance step by step.

(Application in situations such as issuing accounting tickets)
In the above, the operation of infection prevention (disinfection work) in the scene where the registration device 10 (the same applies to the registration settlement device 50 of a specific operation mode) designates the settlement device 20 has been described, but the designation of the settlement device 20 is the device. This is an example of a scene in which the processing in is completed. In addition to the scene where the settlement device 20 is specified, the scene where the processing in the device is completed includes the scene where the payment ticket is issued and the scene where the gift certificate is used, and the scene where the payment ticket is issued and the product. Even in the scene where the ticket is used, the infection prevention (disinfection work) operation may be performed in the same manner as in the scene where the settlement device 20 is designated.

For example, in the registration device 10 (the same applies to the registration settlement device 50 in a specific operation mode), when the checkout button BT24 is operated or the gift certificate button BT25 is operated, the 201 checkout button BT21 or the like is pressed. As in the case of operation, the small screen SG01 as shown in FIG. 8 may be displayed.

Further, when the settlement device 20 (the same applies to the registration settlement device 50 of a specific operation mode) reads the checkout ticket and executes the settlement process, the settlement device 20 receives the registration data and executes the settlement process in the same manner as when the settlement process is executed. A receipt as shown in FIG. 15 (A) may be printed and issued.

(Application to other devices)
In the above, the disinfection work and the like in the registration device 10, the settlement device 20, and the registration settlement device 50 have been described, but the disinfection work and the like in other devices (store controller 30, monitoring device 40) may be performed in the same manner. For example, the store controller 30 (the same applies to the monitoring device 40) may determine the necessity of disinfection work based on the determination criteria based on the elapsed time, and manage the disinfection work.

The first embodiment (sales system 1) has been described above, but according to the first embodiment, each device of the sales system 1 (registration device 10, settlement device 20, monitoring device 40, registration settlement device 30). In, the disinfection work can be suitably managed.

Each device is communicably connected via LAN 11. Although one registered settlement device 50 is shown in FIG. 22, the number of registered settlement devices 50 may be two or more. The same applies to the monitoring device 40.

The sales system 2 shown in FIG. 22 provides various services such as a service (hereinafter, referred to as service A) corresponding to a mode in which the customer himself / herself registers a product using the mobile terminal 60. The portion of the sales system 2 that provides the service A may be referred to as a specific sales system. In other words, the specific sales system is a subsystem of the sales system 2 and provides the service A. In the following description, among the customers, the customer who uses the service A may be particularly referred to as a member.

The settlement device 20, the store controller 30, the monitoring device 40, and the registration settlement device 50 in the second embodiment basically include the settlement device 20, the store controller 30, the monitoring device 40, and the registration settlement device in the first embodiment. Since it is the same as 50, in the second embodiment, a part or all of the description is omitted. The settlement device 20 in the second embodiment scans a code (two-dimensional code for settlement (described later)) displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 60 to read information necessary for the settlement process.

The cloud server 70 is a server that provides various services. For example, the cloud server 70 provides a service A (a service corresponding to a mode in which a member registers a product using a mobile terminal 60). For example, the cloud server 70 manages (stores) transaction information (also referred to as cart information, basket information, etc.) in service A by a member. Further, in addition to the cart information, the cloud server 70 also contains various information related to the service A (for example, a customer file (customer master) for storing customer information, a store file (store master) for storing store information, a product file, etc.). Manage (remember). The cloud server 70 is not realized by one computer (server or the like), but may be realized by two or more computers. The cloud server 70 communicates with the mobile terminal 60, the settlement device 20, the store controller 30, and the like.

The mobile terminal 60 is operated by a member. The mobile terminal 60 is used when using the service A. The mobile terminal 60 has a recognition function for recognizing various codes (bar code, two-dimensional code, etc.) in addition to a communication function and an imaging function (camera). For example, the mobile terminal 60 recognizes a barcode attached to a product. For example, the mobile terminal 60 may extract feature points in an image captured by an imaging function (an image acquired as a so-called live view / through image) and recognize an object (various codes).

The mobile terminal 60 is basically assumed to be the property of each member, but may be lent by the store. The number of mobile terminals 60 (number in operation) changes according to the number of visitors and the like. In FIG. 22, two mobile terminals 60 are shown as an example to the effect that a plurality of mobile terminals 60 can be used. Shown.

The mobile terminal 60 displays various screens related to the service A. For example, by installing an application program (hereinafter, also referred to as a specific application) for using the service A on the mobile terminal 60, the mobile terminal 60 may display various screens related to the service A. ..

23 and 24 are display examples in the display unit of the mobile terminal 60. FIG. 23A is an example of the start screen of the service A. The mobile terminal 60 acquires information for identifying a store (store-specific information) and displays a start screen. For example, a customer who visits a store by displaying a two-dimensional code, which is a two-dimensional code of store identification information, near the entrance of the store (outputting the two-dimensional code on the display screen, pasting a medium on which the two-dimensional code is printed, etc.). The mobile terminal 60 may acquire the store specific information by scanning (reading) the two-dimensional code with the mobile terminal 60 by the (member). When a customer who visits the store activates a specific application, a screen instructing the customer to scan the two-dimensional code may be displayed, or when the customer who visits the store scans the two-dimensional code with the mobile terminal 60, the customer may display the screen. A specific application may be started and the start screen may be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 23A, various buttons are arranged on the start screen. For example, the shopping start button 600 is a button for starting shopping. Information on infection control may be displayed on the start screen. For example, if the business hours are changed (shortened, etc.) on the start screen to prevent infection, the changed business hours and a request to keep a sufficient distance from others (for example, "with other companies" Display messages such as "Please keep a distance of 〇〇m or more"), information about masks (for example, "Please wear a mask", "The mask is out of stock and the arrival time is undecided"), etc. You may. The value of "OO m" may be changed as appropriate by feeding back information (infection information, etc.) from the outside. The same applies to other screens such as FIG. 23 (B). When the shopping start button 600 is operated, the mobile terminal 60 displays the registration screen shown in FIGS. 23B and later instead of the start screen.

FIG. 23 (B) is a registration screen (initial registration screen) displayed after the shopping start button 600 is operated on the start screen of FIG. 23 (A). The upper side of the registration screen (initial registration screen) is the captured image display area 601 that mainly displays the captured image. The lower side of the registration screen is a registration information display area 602 that mainly displays product registration information.

FIG. 23 (C) is an image of the barcode attached to "○○ bread (220 yen including tax)" as one item of the product on the registration screen (initial registration screen) of FIG. 23 (B). This is the registration screen for the time. The mobile terminal 60 images a barcode attached to a certain product, acquires product identification information of the product from the captured barcode, and registers the product based on the acquired product identification information. In the example of FIG. 23B, the mobile terminal 60 images the barcode attached to the “○○ bread” and acquires the product identification information of the “○○ bread” from the imaged barcode. Register the "○○ bread" based on the product identification information.

FIG. 23 (D) is a registration screen after the registration of one item of product (OO bread) is completed. Note that FIG. 23 (D) is a display example immediately after the product (○○ bread) is specified (that is, when the barcode is still being imaged). Therefore, in the display example of FIG. 23D, the barcode attached to the product is displayed in the captured image display area 601.

As shown in FIG. 23 (D), the mobile terminal 60 displays the registration information (product name, quantity, amount of money) of the registered product (product (○○ bread) in which the barcode is imaged) in the registration information display area 602. (Code a in FIG. 23 (D)). The mobile terminal 60 displays a part (quantity) of the registration information as a quantity button 603. The quantity button 603 is a button for changing the quantity. In addition, the mobile terminal 60 displays total information (total points, total amount of money) (reference numeral b in FIG. 23 (D)). In addition, the mobile terminal 60 operably displays (activates) the accounting progress button 604 to be operated when proceeding to settlement (accounting) (when completing the registration of the product).

Although the description is omitted, the same applies to the registration of two or more products. That is, every time the mobile terminal 60 captures the barcode attached to the product, the registration information (product name, quantity, amount) of the product is additionally displayed in the registration information display area 602 of the mobile terminal 60. , Total information (total points, total amount) is updated (added).

FIG. 24 is a registration screen after the registration of "○○ salad (240 yen including tax)" and "○○ dressing (680 yen including tax)" is completed following "○○ bread".

FIG. 25 is an example of cart information. The cloud server 70 stores card information as shown in FIG. 25. The cart information illustrated in FIG. 25 includes cart identification information, transaction start date and time, transaction end date and time, customer identification information, and registration information (registered product information).

The cart identification information is identification information that uniquely identifies the cart information. The cart identification information shown in FIG. 25 is composed of store identification information, a date, and a serial number (for example, a serial number for each store date). The transaction start date and time is the transaction start date and time. The transaction start date and time may be, for example, the generation date and time of the cart information. The transaction end date and time is the transaction end date and time. The customer identification information is customer identification information that identifies a customer (member) of the transaction.

The registration information (total) is information that is updated every time the product registration information is added, updated, deleted, or the like. Specifically, for example, as the registration information (total), the number of items (number of products), the approximate subtotal amount (for example, the subtotal amount before the discount or the like is reflected) and the like are stored.

The registration information (product N; N is an integer) is the registration information of the product of N items. Specifically, for example, as the registration information (product N), the product code, product name (product name), quantity, price, etc. of the product of the N item are stored.

As a processing flow (process) in which the cloud server 70 stores the registration information in the cart information, various methods can be considered as follows.

(Processing flow stored for each individual product (Processing flow A))
The processing flow A, which is an example and is stored for each individual product, is as follows.
(Step 1) The mobile terminal 60 acquires product identification information from a barcode. Further, the mobile terminal 60 accepts a change in the quantity based on the operation of the customer (if there is no operation, the quantity is the initial value "1". The same applies to the processing flow B).
(Step 2) The mobile terminal 60 transmits the product identification information and the quantity to the cloud server 70.
(Step 3) The cloud server 70 refers to the product file and acquires the product name and the amount of money corresponding to the product identification information. The cloud server 70 stores registration information (product identification information, product name, quantity, amount of money) in the cart information. In addition, the cloud server 70 stores a part or all of the cart information in another device (a file server or the like accessible to the cloud server 70) instead of or in addition to storing the cart information in the storage unit in the own device. It may be stored (the same applies to the processing flows B and C).
(Step 4) The cloud server 70 transmits registration information (product identification information, product name, amount of money) to the mobile terminal 60.
(Step 5) The mobile terminal 60 displays registration information (product name, quantity, amount of money) in the registration information display area 602. The mobile terminal 60 may store the registration information in addition to displaying the registration information in the registration information display area 602.

(Processing flow stored for each individual product (Processing flow B))
Another example, processing flow B, which is stored for each individual product, is as follows.
(Step 1) The mobile terminal 60 acquires product identification information from a barcode. Further, the mobile terminal 60 accepts a change in quantity based on the operation of the customer.
(Step 2) The mobile terminal 60 refers to the product file and acquires the product name and the amount of money corresponding to the product identification information. The product file may be stored in a place (inside the device) accessible to the mobile terminal 60. The mobile terminal 60 may inquire of the store controller 30 and the cloud server 70 to acquire the product name and the amount of money corresponding to the product identification information.
(Step 3) The mobile terminal 60 displays registration information (product name, quantity, amount of money) in the registration information display area 602. The mobile terminal 60 may store the registration information in addition to displaying the registration information in the registration information display area 602.
(Step 4) The mobile terminal 60 transmits the product identification information, the product name, the quantity, and the amount of money to the cloud server 70.
(Step 5) The cloud server 70 stores registration information (product identification information, product name, quantity, amount of money, etc.) in the cart information.

(Processing flow for storing all products at once (Processing flow C))
The processing flow C, which is an example of storing all the products at once, is as follows. The steps 1 and 2 of the processing flow C are the same as the steps 1 and 2 of the processing flow B.
(Step 3) The mobile terminal 60 displays registration information (product name, quantity, amount of money) in the registration information display area 602. The mobile terminal 60 stores the registration information in addition to displaying the registration information in the registration information display area 602.
(Step 4) After repeating steps 1 to 3 for the required number of products, the mobile terminal 60 receives an operation (accounting progress button 604) for proceeding to settlement (accounting).
(Step 5) The mobile terminal 60 transmits the product identification information, the product name, the quantity, and the amount of money to the cloud server 70 for all the stored products.
(Step 6) The cloud server 70 stores registration information (product identification information, product name, quantity, amount of money, etc.) in the cart information.
In connection with steps 4 and 5, the mobile terminal 60 also displays the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement after the operation for proceeding to the settlement (accounting) (after the operation of the accounting progress button 604) (described later).

FIG. 26 is a display example of the display unit of the mobile terminal 60. FIG. 26A is a two-dimensional code display screen displayed after the accounting progress button 604 is operated on the registration screen of FIG. 24.

The two-dimensional code 605 for settlement is displayed on the two-dimensional code display screen. The mobile terminal 60 transmits information to the cloud server 70 that the settlement (accounting) proceeds based on the operation of the accounting progress button 604, and the cloud server 70 that receives the information sends the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement. The generated two-dimensional code 605 for settlement may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 60. Further, the mobile terminal 60 may generate the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement by itself based on the operation of the checkout progress button 604. Even in the mode in which the mobile terminal 60 generates the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement by itself, the mobile terminal 60 transmits information to the cloud server 70 that the settlement (accounting) proceeds based on the operation of the accounting progress button 604. You may.

The two-dimensional code 605 for settlement is a two-dimensional code of the information required for the settlement process. The two-dimensional code 605 for settlement is the cart information (corresponding) of the member from among a plurality of cart information (each transaction information registered by each member using each mobile terminal 60) stored in the cloud server 70. The information (cart identification information) that identifies the transaction information (transaction information) registered by the customer using the mobile terminal 60 may be two-dimensionally coded.

Further, on the two-dimensional code display screen, a display field 606 for the approximate total and a back button 607 are arranged. The back button 607 is a button for returning to shopping (restarting shopping). When the back button 607 is operated, the mobile terminal 60 displays a registration screen (a registration screen immediately before the operation of the accounting progress button 604) instead of the two-dimensional code display screen.

(Display of recommended payment device 20)
The mobile terminal 60 may display the recommended settlement device 20 on the two-dimensional code display screen. On the two-dimensional code display screen shown in FIG. 26 (A), the settlement device 20 having the smallest number of transactions processed continuously without performing the disinfection work is displayed as the recommended settlement device 20. At the bottom of the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement, "No. 2 settlement machine is recommended (the number of users after disinfection is the smallest)", the second settlement machine (for example, settlement device 20b) does not carry out disinfection work. The number of transactions processed continuously is the minimum, indicating that the recommended settlement device 20 is used.

The flow of processing related to the display of the recommended settlement device 20 is as follows, for example. Each of the settlement devices 20 transmits information on disinfection (value of the disinfection determination counter, value of the disinfection record count counter, disinfection completion notification, etc.) to the cloud server 70. That is, FIG. 19 shows an example in which the settlement device 20 transmits information regarding disinfection to the monitoring device 40, but the monitoring device 40 is replaced with the cloud server 70 for the transmission destination in FIG.

By receiving information on disinfection from each of the settlement devices 20, the cloud server 70 determines the status of disinfection in each settlement device 20 (when it was disinfected, how many people operated it after disinfection, the number of disinfections, etc.). to manage. For example, when the cloud server 70 receives an inquiry about the recommended mobile terminal 60, the settlement device 20 has the smallest value of the disinfection determination counter (the number of transactions processed continuously without performing the disinfection work). Is specified, and the device identification information of the specified settlement device 20 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 60. When the cloud server 70 receives an inquiry about the recommended mobile terminal 60, the cloud server 70 may or may not transmit the device identification information of the settlement device 20 having the smallest disinfection judgment counter value to the mobile terminal 60. Therefore, the settlement device 20 having the largest value of the disinfection record counter (actual number of disinfection operations) may be specified, and the device identification information of the specified settlement device 20 may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 60.

When the checkout progress button 604 is operated, the mobile terminal 60 inquires the cloud server 70 about the recommended checkout device 20. The mobile terminal 60 displays the recommended settlement device 20 on the two-dimensional code display screen based on the device identification information received from the cloud server 70.

In addition to the cloud server 70, another device (for example, a monitoring device 40, a store controller 30, a registration device 10, a registration settlement device 50, etc.) may manage the disinfection status of each settlement device 20. That is, each of the settlement devices 20 transmits information on disinfection to the monitoring device 40 and the like, and the mobile terminal 60 inquires of the monitoring device 40 and the like for the recommended settlement device 20 when the accounting progress button 604 is operated. It may be displayed on the two-dimensional code display screen.

FIG. 26B shows how the settlement device 20 reads the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement. The customer moves to, for example, the settlement device 20 displayed as a recommendation on the two-dimensional code display screen, and has the customer read the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement. It is also possible for the customer to read the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement with a settlement device 20 different from the settlement device 20 displayed as a recommendation.

27 to 29 are display examples on the display unit 206 of the settlement device 20. FIG. 27 is an example of a settlement screen (initial settlement screen) displayed on the display unit 206 by the settlement device 20. The settlement device 20 displays a settlement screen (initial settlement screen) as shown in FIG. 27. On the settlement screen (initial settlement screen) shown in FIG. 27, a message is displayed to the effect that the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement (QR code (registered trademark) in the figure) is read. Further, on the settlement screen (initial settlement screen) shown in FIG. 27, the completion time of the last disinfection work in the settlement device 20 is displayed as the actual status of the disinfection work of the settlement device 20. In addition, the settlement device 20 displays the actual number of disinfection operations (number of operations) in the registration device 10 on the settlement screen (initial settlement screen) in place of or in addition to the completion time of the last disinfection work in the settlement device 20. It may be displayed.

FIG. 28 is an example of a settlement screen (product list screen) displayed on the display unit 206 by the settlement device 20. As shown in FIG. 26B, when the settlement device 20 reads the settlement 2D code 605 displayed on the 2D code display screen of the mobile terminal 60 on the settlement screen (initial settlement screen), the settlement device 20 reads. A settlement screen (product list screen) as shown in FIG. 28 is displayed. That is, for example, the cart information shown in FIG. 25 is specified based on the two-dimensional code 605 for settlement, and the registration information stored in the cart information is listed on the settlement screen (product list screen) as shown in FIG. 28. Is displayed.

On the settlement screen (product list screen) of FIG. 28, the approximate total display column 1400 and the number of products by price range (1000 yen or more, 500 yen or more and less than 1000 yen, 300 yen or more and less than 500 yen, less than 300 yen) are displayed. A display field 1401 and a display field 1403 for captured images are arranged.

In the captured image display field 1403, the captured image around the change machine 212 of the settlement device 20 is displayed. For example, the settlement device 20 may include a camera at a position where the periphery of the change machine 212 can be imaged, and display an image captured by the camera (that is, an image captured by itself) in the display field 1403. Further, the settlement device 20 may display the captured image (that is, the captured image acquired from the outside) captured by the camera installed at a position capable of capturing the periphery of the change machine 212 in the display field 1403. The captured image may be an image obtained from the camera output in real time (live view / through image), or an image obtained from the camera may be temporarily stored and then reproduced. good. Further, the captured image may be a moving image or a still image (for example, a still image displayed continuously).

In addition to or in addition to the display in the display field 1403, the captured image is stored in the sales system 1 (for example, in the hard disk 207 of the settlement device 20, in the storage unit of the store controller 30, in the storage unit of the monitoring device 40, and the cloud server. It may be stored for a certain period of time in the storage unit, etc. in 70). As a matter of course, the stored captured image can be reproduced by a device (for example, a monitoring device 40, a settlement device 20, etc.) in the sales system 1.

In the settlement screen (product list screen) of FIG. 28, the products are displayed in order of price, but the products may not be displayed in order of price. For example, the products may be displayed in the order of registration. Further, in the settlement screen (product list screen) of FIG. 28, the background color of the product is different for each price range, but the background color of the product may not be different for each price range. For example, the background colors may be different alternately (for each line).

FIG. 29 is a settlement screen (settlement type selection screen) displayed after the checkout button 1404 is operated on the settlement screen (product list screen) of FIG. 28. On the settlement screen (payment type selection screen) of FIG. 29, various buttons according to the payment method are arranged. The back button 1607 is a button for returning to the previous display. That is, when the back button 1607 is operated, the display is switched to the settlement screen (product list screen) of FIG. 29. That is, if the back button 1607 is operated, the payment target product (purchased product) can be confirmed again before the settlement.

The second embodiment (sales system 2) has been described above, but according to the second embodiment, the disinfection work is suitably managed even in the mode in which the customer himself / herself registers the product using the mobile terminal 60. can do.

(Modification example)
In the above, each device in the sales system 1 (sales system 2) was the target of disinfection, but the target of disinfection may be a person (for example, a clerk). The case where the clerk is the target of disinfection will be described below.

The sales system 1 (sales system 2) manages information on disinfection of individual clerk. For example, the monitoring device 40 (or the cloud server 70) stores a counter for the clerk (counter for determining clerk disinfection, counter for the number of actual clerk disinfection) in association with the clerk code.

The "clerk disinfection judgment counter" is a counter for judging the necessity of disinfection work (for example, disinfection of palms, fingertips, etc., also referred to as disinfection action, disinfection activity, disinfection action) of the clerk. The counter for clerk disinfection judgment is, for example, the number of transactions (number of people) that the clerk continuously processed without performing disinfection work, or the number of products that the clerk continuously processed without performing disinfection work (scan). Number, etc.) etc. are counted.

The "clerk disinfection record counter" is a counter that records the record number (number of operations) of the disinfection work of the clerk. The value of the clerk disinfection record counter is counted up when the clerk performs the disinfection work, and is initialized, for example, at the first login to any device.

FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the registration device 10. Specifically, the flowchart of FIG. 30A shows an operation when a certain clerk A logs in to the registration device 10. The flowchart of FIG. 30A starts when the registration device 10 reads the clerk code of the clerk A. Further, when the registration device 10 receives an operation (not shown) for declaring the start of the disinfection work (disinfection of the palm, fingertips, etc.), the registration device 10 executes the processes of steps S51 to S59.

The flowchart of FIG. 30 (A) (the same applies to the flowchart of FIG. 30 (B)) shows the operation when a certain clerk A logs in to the registration device 10, while the value of the clerk disinfection determination counter is shown. Is for counting the number of transactions that the clerk A has continuously processed without performing the disinfection work, the number of products that the clerk A has continuously processed without performing the disinfection work, and the like. ) (The same applies to the flowchart of FIG. 30B), although there is a process of referring to the value of the counter for clerk disinfection determination (step S50) and a process of initializing (step S58), the count is increased. There is no processing.

Further, the flowchart of FIG. 30 (A) (the same applies to the flowchart of FIG. 30 (B)) will be described as the operation of the registration device 10, but other devices (payment device 20) in the sales system 1 (sales system 2) will be described. The operation of the monitoring device 40, the registration settlement device 50, the store controller 30, etc.) is also the same.

Step S50: The registration device 10 determines whether or not the value of the clerk disinfection determination counter exceeds a preset predetermined value. That is, the registration device 10 determines whether or not the number of transactions (number of people) before the login this time and the number of products (number of scans, etc.) before the login this time exceed a predetermined value. If the value exceeds the predetermined value (step S50: YES), the process proceeds to step S51. If the predetermined value is not exceeded (step S50: NO), the flowchart of FIG. 30A ends (that is, logs in to the registration device 10).

Step S51: The registration device 10 displays a screen notifying the clerk that the disinfection work (disinfection of the palm, fingertips, etc.) should be performed. For example, the registration device 10 displays a small screen (not shown) on which the disinfection completion button is arranged on the clerk display unit 105. Then, the process proceeds to step S54.

Step S54: The registration device 10 determines whether or not there is an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work (for example, the operation of the disinfection completion button on the small screen displayed in step S51). If there is an operation (step S54: YES), the process proceeds to step S55. If there is no operation (step S54: NO), the process returns to step S54. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S54 until there is an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work.

Step S55: The registration device 10 erases the small screen displayed in step S51. Then, the process proceeds to step S57.
Step S57: The registration device 10 initializes the value of the clerk disinfection determination counter (substitutes “0”). Then, the process proceeds to step S58.
Step S58: The registration device 10 stores the current time as the completion time of the disinfection work. Then, the process proceeds to step S59.
Step S59: The registration device 10 counts up the value of the clerk disinfection record counter (adds “1”). That is, the registration device 10 counts up the actual number (number of operations) of the disinfection work of the store clerk. Then, the flowchart of FIG. 30A ends (that is, logs in to the registration device 10).

The flowchart of FIG. 30 (B) is a modification of the flowchart of FIG. 30 (A). When the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed, the registration device 10 may execute the process of the flowchart of FIG. 30 (B) instead of the process of the flowchart of FIG. 30 (A). .. In the flowchart of FIG. 30 (A) and the flowchart of FIG. 30 (B), the process of step S54 is executed in the flowchart of FIG. 30 (A), whereas the process of step S53 is executed in the flowchart of FIG. 30 (B). The point of execution is different. Hereinafter, a portion (step S53) different from the flowchart of FIG. 30 (A) will be described with respect to the flowchart of FIG. 30 (B).

Step S53: The registration device 10 executed in step S51 determines whether or not the disinfectant release notification has been received. That is, the registration device 10 determines whether or not the disinfectant solution has been released from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81). If it has been received (step S53: YES), the process proceeds to step S55. If it has not been received (step S53: NO), the process returns to step S53. That is, the registration device 10 repeats the process of step S53 until the disinfectant release notification is received (until the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) releases the disinfectant).

That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 30A, the registration device 10 may proceed with the process when there is an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work (step S54 (YES)), or the disinfectant. When the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed, the treatment may proceed when the disinfectant solution is discharged from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) (step S53 (YES)).

According to the flowcharts of FIGS. 30 (A) and 30 (B), the disinfection work for the clerk can be appropriately managed. In the flowcharts of FIGS. 30A and 30B, the number of transactions that the clerk continuously processed without performing the disinfection work and the number of transactions that the clerk continuously processed without performing the disinfection work are continuously processed. Although the necessity of disinfection work is determined based on the number of products, the necessity of disinfection work may be determined based on the elapsed time from the last disinfection work of the clerk.

When determining the necessity of disinfection work based on whether or not the elapsed time from the last disinfection work of the clerk exceeds a predetermined value, the necessity of disinfection work is determined without using the clerk disinfection judgment counter. You may. Specifically, the registration device 10 may determine the necessity of disinfection work based on whether or not the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined value (for example, "60 (minutes)") set in advance.

The flowcharts of FIGS. 13, 14, and 18 when the disinfection target is a device are compared with the flowcharts of FIGS. 30 (A) and 30 (B) when the disinfection target is a human being. When the object to be disinfected is a device, the device is inevitably touched, so that there is a risk that an unintended operation or the like may be performed. Therefore, in the flowcharts of FIGS. 13, 14, and 18, the operation is invalidated in order to prevent an unintended operation or the like (step S12 in FIG. 13, step S32 in FIG. 13, step S42 in FIG. 18). On the other hand, when the object to be disinfected is a human being, since the device is not touched, it is unlikely that an unintended operation or the like is performed. Therefore, the operation is not invalidated in the flowcharts of FIGS. 30 (A) and 30 (B).

The flowchart of FIG. 18 when the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed and the disinfection target is the device, and FIG. 30 (B) when the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed and the disinfection target is a clerk. ) Compare with the flowchart. When the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed and the disinfectant target is the device, when the small screen is erased or the operation is enabled at the reception stage of the disinfectant release notification (that is, the disinfectant release stage), the device Since there is a possibility that disinfection will not be performed or an unintended operation may be performed during disinfection of the device, an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work is requested (step S44 in FIG. 18). On the other hand, when the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is installed and the disinfectant target is a clerk, even if the small screen is erased or the operation is enabled at the stage of receiving the disinfectant release notification (that is, the disinfectant release stage). After the disinfectant is released, the clerk inevitably asks for an operation to declare the completion of the disinfectant work so that the disinfectant will be applied to the entire hand (because the disinfectant is considered to be completed by the release of the disinfectant). Not. Therefore, in the case of operating as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 30B, it is not necessary to provide the operation button (disinfection completion button BT30) for declaring the completion of the disinfection work on the small screen.

Although the modified example has been described above, according to the modified example, the disinfection work (disinfection behavior) for the clerk can also be suitably managed.

In the first and second embodiments, the processing for each transaction when the disinfection target is a device (display unit, operation unit, etc.) will be described, and in the modified example, the disinfection target is a clerk (hand, finger, etc.). The processing at the time of login in the case has been described, but the same applies to the processing at the time of login when the disinfection target is a device and the processing for each transaction when the disinfection target is a clerk. That is, when a clerk B in a certain device A logs in, disinfection using the device A as a disinfection target is determined in the same manner as determining the necessity of disinfection work targeting the clerk B (FIG. 30). You may decide whether or not the work is necessary. When the registration process by the clerk B in a certain device A is completed, the clerk A is targeted for disinfection in the same manner as determining the necessity of disinfection work for the device B as a disinfection target (FIG. 13 etc.). You may decide whether or not disinfection work is necessary.

As described above, according to the first and second embodiments and modifications, it is possible to suitably manage the disinfection work in the store.

As an example, an operation example when the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) is used will be described. Infection control care is most necessary after the scanning operation at the time of product registration and the delivery operation to the customer after payment (delivery of change, receipt, checkout ticket, etc.). In this regard, according to the above embodiment, disinfection using a disinfectant 80 or the like (disinfectant 80, disinfectant 81) (disinfection of the device as a sacred object, disinfection of a clerk as a disinfection target, etc.) is performed. Until (until the notification of disinfectant release is received), the processing of the next transaction (next customer) can be restricted (prohibited). For example, if it is always judged as "necessary" in determining the necessity of disinfection work (specifically, a predetermined value to be compared with the value of the disinfection judgment counter (or the clerk disinfection judgment counter) is set to "0". ”), The processing of the next transaction can be restricted until the disinfection using the disinfectant 80 or the like is performed. Further, according to the above embodiment, login to the device can be restricted (prohibited) until disinfection using the disinfectant 80 or the like is performed. For example, if it is always determined to be "necessary" in determining the necessity of disinfection work, login to the device can be restricted until disinfection using the disinfectant 80 or the like is performed.

The first and second embodiments and modifications have been described above, but these are examples, and the specific configuration is not limited to the above embodiment, and the design and the like are within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the invention. Is also included.

The content relating to the registration device 10 or the settlement device 20 described below may be the content relating to the registration settlement device 50 as well as the content described above. That is, the description of the registration device 10 should be read as at least a description of the registration settlement device 50 in the operation mode for executing the registration process, and the description of the settlement device 20 should be at least related to the registration settlement device 50 in the operation mode for executing the settlement process. It may be read as an explanation.

In the above, it has been explained that the operation of the disinfection guidance button BT11 is invalidated after the registration of one item of goods, but the operation of the disinfection guidance button BT11 does not have to be invalidated after the registration of one item of goods. As a result, even during product registration (customer service), guidance information regarding disinfection can be confirmed depending on the situation (for example, when an explanation to the customer is required). Even if the guidance information displayed after the operation is different depending on whether the disinfection guidance button BT11 is operated before the registration of one item of product or the disinfection guidance button BT11 is operated after registration of one item of product. good. For example, when the disinfection guidance button BT11 is operated after the registration of one item of product, some of the guidance information displayed when the disinfection guidance button BT11 is operated before the registration of one item of product is performed. (For example, a main part, a heading part, a part related to a customer (QA collection), etc.) may be displayed.

In the above, it has been explained that the operation of the disinfection start button BT12 becomes invalid after the registration of one item of goods, but the operation of the disinfection start button BT12 does not have to be invalidated after the registration of one item of goods. As a result, even during product registration (customer service), disinfection work can be started depending on the situation (for example, when there is a request from the customer). When the disinfection start button BT12 is operated after the registration of one item of goods, the small screen SG01 is displayed in the same manner as when the disinfection start button BT12 is operated before the registration of one item of goods (FIG. 13). Etc.

In the above, the settlement device designation button (201 registration button BT21, etc.) is displayed on the subplanning surface (FIG. 7), but it may be displayed on the registration screen (FIGS. 5 and 6). For example, the settlement device designation button may be displayed on the registration screen in a display mode indicating that the operation is invalid. The same applies to the checkout button BT24 and the gift certificate button BT25.

In the above, the screen before the operation of the subtotal button BT10 is referred to as the registration screen, and the screen after the operation of the subtotal button BT10 is referred to as the subplanning surface. However, the screen names before and after the operation of the subtotal button BT10 may be the same. For example, even after the operation of the subtotal button BT10, the registration screen may be referred to as before the operation of the subtotal button BT10.

In the above, the mode in which the subtotal button BT10 is provided has been described, but the mode in which the subtotal button BT10 is not provided may be used. In the mode in which the subtotal button BT10 is not provided, for example, after registering one item of goods, the settlement device designation button, the checkout ticket button BT24, and the gift certificate button BT25 are displayed on the registration screen in a display mode indicating that the operation is valid. do. Further, in the mode in which the subtotal button BT10 is not provided, the registration screen button BT26 is unnecessary because there is no transition from the registration screen to the subplanning surface.

In the above, the example of displaying the completion time of the last disinfection work has been described, but the elapsed time from the completion time of the last disinfection work may be displayed in place of or in addition to the completion time of the last disinfection work. In addition, each device may display how many transactions (how many people) the disinfection work was performed before and how many scans the disinfection work was performed before the device. Further, the monitoring terminal 40 (or one registration device 10, one registration settlement device 50) has a completion time (or an elapsed time from the completion time) of the last disinfection work for each of the other devices, and what You may display (list display) or print (list and print) how many disinfection operations were performed before the transaction (how many people) and how many scans were performed before the disinfection work. In addition, the monitoring terminal 40 (or one registration device 10, one registration settlement device 50) has, for each clerk, the completion time of the last disinfection work (or the elapsed time from the completion time) and how many transactions (or the number of transactions (elapsed time from the completion time)). You may display (list display) or print (list and print) how many people) the disinfection work was performed before and how many scans the disinfection work was performed before.

It also displays how many transactions (how many people) will require disinfection, how many scans will require disinfection, and how long it will take to disinfect (for example). You may display the countdown). For example, in each device, the number of transactions (number of people), the number of scans, and the time until the disinfection work for the device is required may be displayed as a countdown. Further, in each device, the number of transactions (number of people), the number of scans, and the time until the clerk using the device needs to be disinfected may be displayed as a countdown. In addition, the monitoring terminal 40 (or one registration device 10, one registration settlement device 50) has the number of transactions (number of people) and the number of scans of each device and each clerk until disinfection work is required. Alternatively, the time may be displayed as a countdown. As a result, it can be used as a guideline that disinfection is about to be performed, and registration and disinfection work can be performed efficiently.

In the above, an example of displaying the message "Please perform disinfection work" on the small screen SG01 has been described, but other information may be displayed on the small screen SG01. For example, on the small screen SG01, information on the disinfection site (disinfection position, disinfection place), information on the tool (tool), and the like may be displayed. In the case of the registration device 10, the disinfection site is, for example, a store clerk display unit 105, a customer display unit 106, a key operation unit 108, a scanner unit 104, a printing unit 111 (exhaust port, etc.) and the like. As the disinfection site of the registration device 10, a counter stand (or a counter stand in the vicinity of the registration device 10) on which the registration device 10 is installed may be included (the same applies to other devices). In the case of the settlement device 20, the display unit 206, the scanner unit 204, the change machine 212 (discharge port, discharge port, etc.), the printing unit 211 (discharge port, etc.) and the like. The tools are disinfectant solution A, disinfectant solution B, towel, brush and the like. The display unit XX may display the disinfectant solution A and the towel, and the key operation unit 108 may display the disinfectant solution B and the brush in association with each other. Further, on the small screen SG01, information on the work order (for example, clerk display unit 105 → customer display unit 106 → ...) and information on standard work time (whole or for each disinfection site) are displayed. May be good.

Instead of displaying the above other information (information about the disinfection site, information about the tool, information about the work order, information about the standard working time) on the small screen SG01, the above other information is displayed on the small screen SG01. You may display a button for displaying.

Further, on the small screen SG01 (or a screen different from the small screen SG01), the disinfection site may be selected (designated), and the disinfection work may be started after the disinfection site is selected.

In the case where the disinfection work is performed for each disinfection site (disinfection position, disinfection place), the actual information of the disinfection work for each disinfection site may be stored. The actual information of the disinfection work for each disinfection site in a certain device can be referred to in the device. Further, as described above, the actual information of the disinfection work for each disinfection site in a certain device may be referred to from another device different from the device.

In addition, the target to be invalidated may be different depending on the selected disinfection site. For example, when any of the input means (clerk display unit 105, customer display unit 106, key operation unit 108, scanner unit 104, etc.) is selected as the disinfection site, the input means selected as the disinfection site is selected. It may be invalidated. As an example, when the store clerk display unit 105 and the key operation unit 108 are selected as disinfection sites, the store clerk display unit 105 and the key operation unit 108 may be invalidated. As a result, the part to be invalidated can be minimized, and activation (recovery) after work becomes easy. If the clerk display unit 105 and other input means are designated as the disinfection site, and the touch sensor itself is invalidated as the clerk display unit 105 during the disinfection work, the disinfection site is used. Declarations of completion of disinfection work may be accepted using unspecified input members. For example, when the clerk display unit 105, the customer display unit 106, and the scanner unit 104 are designated as the disinfection site, and the touch sensor itself is invalidated as the clerk display unit 105 is invalidated during the disinfection work. May accept a declaration of completion of the disinfection work using the key operation unit 108 that is not designated as the disinfection site.

In the above, the period for accepting the operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work (operation of the disinfection completion button BT30, etc.) is not set, but the period may be limited. As a result, the disinfection time can be guaranteed.

For example, when it is not linked with the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) (in the case of the flowcharts of FIGS. 13 and 14), the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30 cannot be accepted before a predetermined time elapses from the display timing of the small screen SG01. Then, the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30 may be accepted after a predetermined time has elapsed from the display timing of the small screen SG01. As a result, the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work is not performed immediately, and the disinfection time can be secured. The same applies to the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work other than the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30.

When linking with the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) (in the case of the flowchart of FIG. 18), the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30 cannot be accepted before a predetermined time elapses from the display timing of the small screen SG01, and the small screen SG01 The operation of the disinfectant completion button BT30 may be accepted after a predetermined time has elapsed from the display timing, or the operation of the disinfectant completion button BT30 cannot be accepted before the predetermined time elapses from the reception timing of the disinfectant release notification, and the disinfectant release notification is sent. The operation of the disinfection completion button BT30 may be accepted after a predetermined time has elapsed from the reception timing. As a result, the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work is not performed immediately, and the disinfection time can be secured. The same applies to the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work other than the operation of the disinfection completion button BT30.

When the object to be disinfected is a device, an operation of detecting the start of the disinfection work and declaring the completion of the disinfection work before a predetermined time elapses from the start timing (detection timing) of the disinfection work (operation of the disinfection completion button BT30, etc.) ) Can not be accepted, and an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work (operation of the disinfection completion button BT30, etc.) may be accepted after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start timing of the disinfection work. When the clerk display unit 105 is a disinfection site, the touch sensor itself is not invalidated as an invalidation mode of the clerk display unit 105 during the disinfection period, so that the display screen of the store clerk display unit 105 is first displayed. Contact can be detected as the start timing of the disinfection work.

In the above, an example of providing the disinfection completion button BT30 for declaring the completion of the disinfection work on the small screen SG01 has been described, but in addition to the disinfection completion button BT30, in order to declare the suspension of the disinfection work (to be carried out later). A disinfection hold button (not shown) may be provided. The operation when the disinfection hold button is operated will be described with reference to the above-mentioned flowchart. In the flowchart of FIG. 13, when the disinfection hold button is operated, the registration device 10 erases the small screen SG01 (step S15 of FIG. 13), enables the operation (step S16 of FIG. 13), and ends the process. do. That is, the registration device 10 ends the process without initializing the value of the disinfection determination counter, storing the completion time of the disinfection work, and counting up the value of the disinfection actual number counter. The operation of the flowchart of FIG. 14 is the same as that of FIG. In the flowchart of FIG. 18, the disinfectant hold button can be operated even before receiving the disinfectant release notification, and the registration device 10 determines whether or not the disinfectant release notice is received when the disinfectant hold button is operated. Instead, the small screen SG01 is erased (step S45 in FIG. 18), the operation is enabled (step S46 in FIG. 18), and the process ends. That is, as in the case of the flowchart of FIG. 13, the registration device 10 performs processing without initializing the value of the disinfection determination counter, storing the completion time of the disinfection work, and counting up the value of the disinfection actual number counter. finish. In the flowchart of FIG. 30A, when the disinfection hold button is operated, the registration device 10 erases the small screen SG01 (step S55 of FIG. 30A) and ends the process. In the case of the flowchart of FIG. 30B, as in the case of the flowchart of FIG. 18, the disinfection hold button may be operated even before receiving the disinfectant release notification. The small screen displayed in the flowchart of FIG. 30B does not have to be provided with the disinfection completion button BT30.

In the above, an example of invalidating an operation (an operation other than an operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work) during the disinfection work of the device has been described, but the operation may not be invalidated during the disinfection work of the device. In other words, considering the frequency of unintended operations during disinfection work and the effects of unintended operations during disinfection work, it is necessary to consider whether or not to invalidate the operations during disinfection work. good. For example, if it is considered that unintended operations during disinfection work are performed infrequently, or if unintended operations during disinfection work can be easily cleared by the operation clear button or the like, disinfection is performed. You do not have to disable the operation while you are working.

In the above, an example of displaying the small screen SG01 when disinfection work is required has been described (step S11 in FIG. 13 and the like), but in place of or in addition to the small screen SG01, for example, the upper part (or lower part) of the screen. May display a message that disinfection work is required. When displaying a message without displaying the small screen SG01, it is not necessary to invalidate the operation during the disinfection work. Further, when the message is displayed without displaying the small screen SG01, the disinfection completion button BT30 cannot be operated, so the operation of declaring the completion of the disinfection work is accepted by another button corresponding to the disinfection completion button BT30. By doing so, the message may be deleted.

In the above, the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81) that discharges (sprays) the disinfectant solution by operation or automatic detection has been described, but it does not have to be of the type that ejects the disinfectant solution as long as it discharges the disinfectant solution. Further, in place of or in addition to the disinfectant that discharges the disinfectant solution, a device (glove supply device; glove feeder) that supplies (feeds) unused (or disinfected and reused) gloves may be installed. When installing a glove supply device, it is the same as controlling the device so that it cannot be logged in or the process cannot proceed unless the gloves are supplied from the supply device and the disinfectant solution is not released. If gloves are not supplied from the glove supply device, it may be controlled so that the device cannot be logged in or the process (processing of the next customer, etc.) cannot proceed. That is, the glove supply device is provided with a detection unit (or a reception unit that accepts the operation of supplying gloves) for detecting that the gloves have been supplied, and a communication unit, and the glove supply device indicates that the gloves have been supplied. When it is detected (when the supply operation is accepted), a notification (glove supply notification) indicating that gloves have been supplied is transmitted from the glove supply device, and the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant) is sent on the side of the device (registration device, etc.). In place of or in addition to receiving the disinfectant release notification from 81), reception of the disinfectant release notification from the glove supply device may be a condition for login or processing progress.

In the above, an example of selecting (designating) a settlement type in the settlement process has been described (FIG. 12 (A)), but it is not necessary to select the settlement type in the settlement process. For example, it may be realized as follows. The registration device 10 enables selection of the payment type, and the registration device 10 accepts the selection of the payment type. The registration device 10 that has received the selection of the payment type transmits information that can identify the received payment type (payment type identification information) to the settlement device 20 (the settlement device 20 selected by the settlement device designation button) (along with the registration data). Send, send as part of the registration data, send before and after the registration data). The settlement device 20 that has received the settlement type identification information transmitted by the registration device 10 handles the settlement type identified by the settlement type identification information as the settlement type selected on the settlement screen (payment type selection screen). This eliminates the need for the customer to select the payment type on the payment screen (payment type selection screen). That is, the customer can proceed with the settlement process without touching the screen of the settlement device 20. In other words, it is possible to carry out a hygienic settlement process. When using a checkout ticket, the settlement device 20 that has read the checkout ticket may be able to acquire payment type identification information in addition to the registration data.

In other words, when the settlement device 20 acquires only the registration data (acquired by receiving the registration data or by reading the accounting ticket), the settlement device 20 displays a payment type selection screen (that is, payment). Operates in normal mode (which requires type selection). On the other hand, when the settlement device 20 acquires the registration data and the payment type identification information, the payment device 20 operates in the epidemic prevention mode in which the payment type selection screen is not displayed (that is, the payment type selection is unnecessary). The epidemic prevention mode is a mode for epidemic prevention measures (mode in consideration of hygiene). For example, as one aspect of the epidemic prevention mode, in the above-mentioned example, the frequency of contact with the device is reduced as compared with the normal mode (that is, the processing can proceed as non-contact as possible). That is, the payment device 20 switches the mode depending on whether or not the payment type identification information is acquired (whether or not the registration device 10 accepts the selection of the payment type).

In the above, an example of displaying a button (end button) for finishing the insertion of money in the settlement process has been described (FIG. 12 (C)), but the button may not be displayed in the settlement process. For example, it may be realized as follows. The registration device 10 enables selection (designation) of display / non-display of the end button, and the registration device 10 accepts the selection of non-display of the end button. The registration device 10 that has received the selection of hiding the end button transfers the information instructing the non-display of the end button (end button non-display instruction information) to the settlement device 20 (the settlement device 20 selected by the settlement device designation button). Send (send with registration data, send as part of registration data, send before and after registration data). The settlement device 20 that has received the end button non-display instruction information transmitted by the registration device 10 proceeds with the settlement process according to the end button non-display instruction information. That is, when the input amount exceeds the total amount, the settlement device 20 calculates the change, prints and issues the receipt without displaying the end button. This eliminates the need to operate the end button on the settlement screen (the settlement screen when the input amount is equal to or greater than the total amount). When using a checkout ticket, the settlement device 20 that has read the checkout ticket may be able to acquire button non-display instruction information in addition to the registration data.

In other words, the settlement device 20 operates in the epidemic prevention mode in which the end button is not displayed (the operation of the end button is unnecessary) when the registration data and the end button non-display instruction information are acquired. That is, the payment device 20 switches the mode depending on whether or not the button non-display instruction information is acquired (whether or not the registration device 10 accepts the selection of hiding the end button).

If the payment type is cash and the end button is not displayed, the adjustment of the fraction of the change becomes a problem. In other words, it is necessary to insert coins first in order to adjust the fraction of change. When the settlement type is cash and the end button is not displayed, the settlement device 20 may display a message that coins need to be inserted first in order to adjust the fraction of the change. For example, when the settlement device 20 acquires the registration data, the payment type identification information (cash), and the end button non-display instruction information (cash is selected as the payment type in the registration device 10 and the end button non-display is selected). If so), the above message may be displayed.

Further, when there is change, the settlement device 20 may print and issue a medium (change coupon) that can be used for payment of the price instead of money. For example, it may be realized as follows. The registration device 10 can accept a declaration to issue a change coupon, and the registration device 10 accepts a declaration to issue a change coupon. The registration device 10 that has received the declaration to issue the change coupon ticket sets the information for instructing the issuance of the change coupon (change coupon issuance instruction information) to the settlement device 20 (the settlement device 20 selected by the settlement device designation button). ) (Send with registration data, send as part of registration data, send before and after registration data). The settlement device 20 that has received the change coupon issuance instruction information transmitted by the registration device 10 proceeds with the process according to the change coupon issuance instruction information. That is, the settlement device 20 prints and issues a change coupon when change occurs. As a result, it is possible to receive the newly printed and issued medium instead of the money stored in the change machine 212. When using a checkout ticket, the settlement device 20 that has read the checkout ticket may be able to acquire change coupon ticket issuance instruction information in addition to the registration data.

In other words, the settlement device 20 operates in the epidemic prevention mode in which the change coupon is received (without touching money) when the registration data and the change coupon issuance instruction information are acquired. That is, the mode of the settlement device 20 is switched depending on whether or not the change coupon issuance instruction information is acquired (whether or not the registration device 10 accepts the declaration to issue the change coupon).

The settlement device 20 may print and issue a change coupon for the entire change amount, or may print and issue a change coupon for a part of the change amount (for example, a coin amount when the change is a banknote and a coin). It may be printed or published. Further, the change coupon may be provided with a limit amount (a limit amount for one transaction (one medium), a limit amount for one customer, a limit amount for one store, etc.). In addition, the change coupon may be provided with an usable date (one or both of the start date and the end date of use). Even if there are restrictions such as printing and issuing change coupons for a part of the change amount, the amount of money to touch is less than in the normal mode.

When printing and issuing change coupons, benefits may be given. For example, the settlement device 20 may print and issue a change coupon for an amount larger than the amount (for example, a predetermined percentage more) instead of money for a certain amount (that is, a change coupon for the added face value). good. As an example, the settlement device 20 may print and issue a change coupon for 550 yen, which is an extra 10%, instead of one 500-yen coin. Further, the settlement device 20 may give points (points having a number of points according to the face value of the change coupon) in place of or in addition to printing and issuing the change coupon with the added face value. ..

The registration device 10 may be controlled to shift the settlement device 20 to the epidemic prevention mode by one operation or a series of operations. That is, the settlement type may not be selected in the settlement process in the settlement device 20, the end button may not be operated, and the change coupon may be issued by one operation or a series of operations in the registration device 10. For example, when a predetermined button (called an epidemic prevention button) is operated on the registration device 10, the payment type is not selected in the settlement process (for example, cash is selected on the registration device 10), the end button is not operated, and a change coupon is issued. All of may be executed. In addition, when the epidemic prevention button is operated in the registration device 10, whether or not the payment type is not selected in the settlement process (when "Yes", for example, cash is selected in the registration device 10), whether or not the end button is not operated, A small screen may be displayed in which a selection can be made as to whether or not a change coupon is issued.

Further, instead of or in addition to the registration device 10, the settlement device 20 may accept a declaration to issue a change coupon.

The registration device 10 may print and issue a change coupon instead of the checkout device 20. For example, the registration device 10 may print and issue a change coupon when it is not necessary to release the change by issuing the change coupon (when printing and issuing the change coupon for the entire change amount).

The operation of the device (for example, the settlement procedure 20) installed in the store may be executed by using the terminal (for example, the mobile terminal 60) used by the customer. Hereinafter, a case where the operation of the settlement procedure 20 is executed by using the mobile terminal 60 will be described. The settlement device 20 includes a second communication unit (not shown) that communicates by short-range wireless communication (for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.), and the second communication unit can establish communication with the mobile terminal 60. Suppose there is.

(1) The settlement device 20 displays a two-dimensional connection code that encodes connection information for connecting to the settlement device 20. (2) The mobile terminal 60 acquires connection information for connecting to the settlement device 20 by reading the connection two-dimensional code displayed by the settlement device 20. (3) The mobile terminal 60 uses the connection information to transmit a connection start request for starting a connection with the mobile terminal 60 to the settlement device 20. (4) The settlement device 20 transmits a connection start response to the effect that the connection is permitted to the mobile terminal 60 of the source (request source) of the connection start request.

According to the above (1) to (4), the connection between the settlement device 20 and the mobile terminal 60 is established, and thereafter, information can be transmitted and received between the settlement device 20 and the mobile terminal 60. For example, the settlement device 20 can transmit the screen information of the settlement screen being displayed (the screen information of the settlement screen edited (simplified or the like) for the mobile terminal 60) to the mobile terminal 60. .. As a result, the mobile terminal 60 can display a settlement screen similar to the settlement screen displayed by the settlement device 20 in its own device. In addition, the mobile terminal 60 can transmit information based on the operation on the settlement screen displayed by itself to the settlement device 20. As a result, the settlement device 20 can accept the operation on the mobile terminal 60 in the same manner as the operation on the settlement screen displayed by the own device.

In the above, the necessity of disinfection work of a certain device is determined by the device itself, but another device may determine it. In other words, one device may determine the need for disinfection work on another device. For example, the monitoring device 40 may determine the necessity of disinfection work in the registration device 10, the settlement device 20, and the registration settlement device 50. Further, the registration device 10 may determine the necessity of disinfection work in the other registration device 10, the settlement device 20, and the registration settlement device 50. Further, the registered settlement device 50 may determine the necessity of disinfection work in the registration device 10, the settlement device 20, and other registered settlement devices 50. When a certain device determines that the disinfection work of another device is necessary or not, information for instructing the disinfection work is transmitted to the other device. On the other hand, another device that has received the information instructing the disinfection work appropriately notifies (after the transaction ends after the reception or at the time of login after the reception) that, for example, the disinfection work is necessary (displays the small screen SG01). ) May.

Further, in the above description, as the disinfection target, mainly the device (including the counter stand and the like) installed in the store and the clerk have been described, but the disinfection target may be a customer. For example, the settlement device 20 may not be able to perform all or part of the operations in the settlement device 20 unless the disinfection work (disinfection of the palm, fingertips, etc.) is performed. Specifically, the settlement device 20 displays a screen similar to the small screen SG01, and all or part of the operations in the settlement device 20 until the operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work is performed. Even if the disabled operation is enabled when the operation for declaring the completion of the disinfection work is performed (or when the disinfectant release notification is received from the disinfectant 80 (disinfectant 81)). good. Instead or in addition to preventing all or part of the operations in the settlement device 20 from being performed without performing the disinfection work, the settlement device 20 gives a privilege to the customer who has performed the disinfection work (for example). , Discounts, granting points, issuing coupons, etc.).

In addition, as part of infection control, benefits are given (for example, discounts, points, issuance of coupons, etc.) to customers who come to the store by taking infection control measures (for example, wearing masks). May be good.

For example, the registration device 10 arranges a mask wearing button (a button to be operated when the clerk determines that the customer is a mask wearing customer, not shown) on the registration screen, and when the mask wearing button is operated, a privilege is given. It may be granted (for example, information indicating that the person is wearing a mask may be transmitted to the settlement device 20, and the settlement device 20 may execute discounts, point grants, coupon ticket issuance, and the like). Further, the mobile terminal 60 is a part of a display screen (start screen (FIG. 23 (A)), registration screen (FIG. 23 (B) to FIG. 24), two-dimensional code display screen (FIG. 26 (A)) or Even if a mask wearing button (a button that the customer declares to be a mask wearing customer, not shown) is placed in (all), etc., and a privilege is given when the mask wearing button is operated. (For example, the checkout device 20 may store information indicating that the person is a mask wearer in the cart information and read the two-dimensional code 605 for checkout to execute discounts, point grants, coupon ticket issuance, and the like). In addition, the settlement device 20 has a mask wearing button (a button declared by the customer himself to be a mask wearing customer, not shown) on the display screen (FIGS. 12 (A) to 12 (C), FIGS. 28, 29). May be arranged so that the privilege is given when the mask wearing button is operated.

Whether or not the customer is a mask wearer using the camera (or the camera installed on the ceiling or wall) provided in each device in place of or in addition to the operation by the mask wearing button (operation of the clerk, operation of the customer himself, etc.) May be determined (recognized), and the privilege may be given when it is determined that the person is a mask wearer. For example, the privilege may be given when the camera simply determines that the person is a mask wearer, or the mask wearing button may be given when the camera determines that the person is a mask wearer by using the camera and the operation together. Is displayed, and the privilege may be given when the mask wearing button is operated.

FIG. 31 is an explanatory diagram further explaining another example. The settlement device 20 and the registration settlement device 50 may print and issue a receipt as shown in FIG. 31 (A) instead of the receipt shown in FIG. 15 (B). The receipt of FIG. 31 (A) is partially cut (FIG. 31) at the lower part (front part in the discharge direction of the receipt body) and the upper part (rear part in the discharge direction of the receipt body) of the receipt body (reference numeral b in FIG. 31). It is printed and issued so that the clerk gripping portion (reference numerals a and c in FIG. 31 (A)) connected by the reference numerals d and e) in (A) is provided. The clerk grabs each clerk's grip with the left and right hands and presents it to the customer, and when the customer grabs and pulls the receipt body sandwiched between the clerk's grip, the clerk's grip and the receipt body are separated and the receipt Only the main body can be handed over to the customer. As in the case of the receipt shown in FIG. 15B, the clerk does not touch the receipt body at all, so that it is possible to deal with nervous customers. In addition, since the receipt is grasped by the left and right hands, the receipt can be easily delivered to the customer without the receipt body hanging down. In the case of the receipt shown in FIG. 15B, since the clerk grip portion is provided on only one side, for example, the receipt paper can be saved and dust (the grip portion after separation can be reduced). In FIG. 31 (A), the gap above the clerk grip portion (reference numeral c) represents a full cut (reference numeral f in FIG. 31 (A)) with the receipt paper.

(UV irradiation)
The touch display (touch panel) operated by the customer is a part that requires sterilization and disinfection because it is touched by an unspecified number of people. As a method of disinfecting and disinfecting the touch display, in addition to the method of using the disinfectant solution described above, there is also a method of disinfecting and disinfecting by UV (ultraviolet) irradiation or the like. Frequent UV irradiation can enhance the effects of sterilization and disinfection, but UV irradiation may have an adverse effect on health and beauty (eyes, skin, etc.). That is, if you want to irradiate for as long as possible, but there is a risk of irradiating your body, you need to control such as stopping the irradiation.

(Example of UV irradiation configuration)
FIG. 31B shows a display (display screen of the customer side display unit 505 of the registration settlement device 50, display screen of the display unit 206 of the settlement device 20, display screen of the customer display unit 106 of the registration device 10, and the like). It is a schematic diagram explaining the relationship with a UV irradiator. In FIG. 31 (B), it is assumed that the UV irradiator is installed in the registered settlement device 50 (or the registered settlement device 50 has a built-in UV irradiator), but other devices (for example, the settlement device 20, the registration device 10). Etc.), the same applies.

For example, a UV irradiator (reference numeral a in FIG. 31B) is installed outside (for example, the upper part) of the customer side display unit 505, and UV is irradiated to the display (display screen of the customer side display unit 505) from the outside. You may. In the case of this aspect, the UV irradiator is a separate body.

Further, instead of or in addition to irradiating the display with UV from the outside, the display may be irradiated with UV from the inside. For example, a UV irradiator (reference numeral b in FIG. 31 (B)) may be built in the touch sensor in addition to the backlight portion that is a normal light source, or the backlight portion itself can also irradiate UV. It may be. For example, when the customer is using the display, only a normal light source is used for display, and when sterilizing and disinfecting, a UV light source is also used for disinfection. If a message or the like is not displayed on the screen during UV irradiation, it may be disinfected using only a UV light source.

(Screen display during UV irradiation)
During UV irradiation, for example, a message such as "UV irradiation is in progress. Please be careful not to look directly into the light" (a message indicating that irradiation is being performed, a warning message) may be displayed. That is, information on epidemics (infection control) may be displayed.

(Example of application to registered settlement device 50)
As described above, the registration settlement device 50 has a plurality of operation modes, and the start and end timings of UV irradiation may be controlled for each operation mode.

(Control in the face-to-face mode (first mode, third mode) in which the customer and the clerk face each other)
(A) Start timing of UV irradiation The start timing of UV irradiation in the face-to-face mode is, for example, the end of payment by the change machine 509 of the registration payment device 50 (or transmission of registration data by the communication unit 515) and the customer by the sensor. No person detected on the side. That is, the registered settlement device 50 starts UV irradiation when the processing of one transaction in the registered settlement device 50 is completed and the customer has left the registered settlement device 50.
The sensor may be a distance sensor for determining whether or not registration has been performed correctly. For example, if both the sensor on the right side and the sensor on the left side do not detect the customer, it may be determined that there is no person on the customer side. The same applies to the full self mode and the settlement mode.
(B) End timing of UV irradiation The end timing of UV irradiation in the face-to-face mode is, for example, the recognition 8 of the touch sensor of the clerk side display unit 510, the recognition of the product barcode by the clerk side scanner unit 512, or the sensor. It is the detection of a person on the customer side by. That is, the registration settlement device 50 ends (stops) UV irradiation when the registration process is started on the clerk side or when the customer side recognizes the existence of the customer. In consideration of the health of the customer, UV irradiation is terminated early (because the customer will appear soon even when the existence of the customer is not recognized).

(Control in the case of full self mode (second mode) where the customer himself registers and pays)
(A) Start timing of UV irradiation The start timing of UV irradiation in the full self mode is, for example, the end of payment by the change machine 509 of the registered payment device 50 and the undetection of a person on the customer side by the sensor. That is, the registered settlement device 50 starts UV irradiation when the processing of one transaction in the registered settlement device 50 is completed and the customer has left the registered settlement device 50.
(B) End timing of UV irradiation in full self mode The end timing of UV irradiation in full self mode is, for example, recognition of the touch sensor of the customer side display unit 505 or recognition of the product barcode by the customer side scanner unit 506. Or, it is the detection of a person on the customer side by a sensor. That is, the registration settlement device 50 ends (stops) UV irradiation when the registration process is started on the customer side or when the customer recognizes the existence of the customer. In consideration of the health of the customer, if there is any possibility that there is a customer, UV irradiation is terminated.

(Control in the case of the settlement mode (4th mode) dedicated to settlement)
(A) UV Irradiation Start Timing The UV irradiation start timing in the settlement mode is, for example, the end of settlement by the change machine 509 of the registered settlement device 50 and the undetection of a person on the customer side by the sensor. That is, the registered settlement device 50 starts UV irradiation when the processing of one transaction in the registered settlement device 50 is completed and the customer has left the registered settlement device 50.
(B) End timing of UV irradiation in the full self mode The end timing of UV irradiation in the settlement mode is, for example, reception of registration data by the communication unit 515 or recognition of the barcode of the checkout ticket by the customer side scanner unit 506. Alternatively, it is the detection of a person on the customer side by a sensor. That is, the registration settlement device 50 ends (stops) UV irradiation when the registration process is soon started on the customer side or when the customer recognizes the existence of the customer. In consideration of the health of the customer, if there is any possibility that there is a customer, UV irradiation is terminated.

As described above, the registered settlement device 50 can suitably irradiate UV according to the operation mode. That is, the registration settlement device 50 can irradiate UV for as long as possible while considering the influence on the customer according to the characteristics of each operation mode (the period during which the customer exists in front of the device, etc.).

(Restrictions on infection control)
Controls related to infection control (epidemic prevention) are basically unnecessary in normal times. It may be made to function when a virus infection or the like is socially disturbed (for example, when an emergency declaration is invoked). For example, the sales system 1 (sales system 2) controls infection prevention (epidemic prevention) as described above when it receives information that an emergency declaration has been issued from the outside (government, government, etc.). (Transition to epidemic prevention mode) may be performed. In addition, every time information from the outside (infection information, etc.) is updated, the predetermined value (predetermined value for comparison with various counters such as a clerk disinfection judgment counter) is changed, and the sales system 1 (sales system 2) is used. ) May be given as appropriate. A table in which information provided from the outside and a predetermined value are associated with each other may be stored in the sales system 1 (sales system 2) so that the predetermined value is automatically changed.

In addition, the devices (monitoring device 40, store controller 30, registration device 10, registration settlement device 50, etc.) in the sales system 1 (sales system 2) receive the operation of the clerk to enter the epidemic prevention mode all at once or individually. It may be migrated.
