Description

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a sales data processing device and program.

In recent years, against the backdrop of labor shortages, so-called self-service POS (Point Of Sales) terminals have come to be widely used in stores such as supermarkets and convenience stores. A self-POS terminal is operated by a customer who purchases a product to register the product and make a payment (for example, Patent Document 1).

By the way, there are products that need to be ordered from a store clerk in order to be purchased at some stores, and the customer needs to place an order and pay at a POS terminal with a store clerk in order to purchase such ordered products. For example, when purchasing fast food such as fried foods and Chinese steamed buns at a convenience store, a customer goes to a POS terminal where a store clerk is present and places an order with the store clerk. The store clerk provides the ordered product to the customer, operates the POS terminal to register the product, and processes the customer's payment.

In this way, when the products to be purchased include products to be ordered, the customer cannot make payment at the self-POS terminal, and there is a problem that the self-POS terminal cannot always be used effectively.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a product data processing device and a program that enable the customer to effectively use a so-called self-POS terminal for performing product registration and payment. That is.

The sales data processing device of the embodiment includes an input unit for inputting product identification information for identifying products, and whether or not the product identified by the product identification information input to the input unit is an order target product that requires an order. an output unit that outputs product information of the order target product when the determination unit determines that the product is the order target product, and based on the product identification information input to the input unit and a registration unit for performing product registration, and an accounting processing unit for executing accounting processing for payment of the price of the product registered by the registration unit.

For example, information indicating that the ordered product has been provided to the customer C is input to the operation unit 43 by the store clerk SA. A communication unit 44 is an interface for communicating with an external device such as the self-service POS terminal 1 . The control unit 40 can transmit and receive information (data) to and from the external device by being connected to the external device via the communication unit 44 .

Next, the operation of the self-POS terminal 1 based on the above configuration will be described. FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing by the control unit 10 of the self-POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG.

First, the control unit 10 determines whether or not a product code has been input to the input unit 1001 (S1), and if not (N in S1), returns to the processing of S1 and waits. That is, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the scanner 14 has read the product code from the barcode attached to the product or the barcode displayed on the user terminal 5 . Alternatively, the control unit 10 determines whether or not a product code for a fast food product has been input from the operation unit 13 .

When a product code is input to the input unit 1001 (Y of S1), the determination unit 1003 determines whether or not the product identified by the input product code is the product to be ordered (S2). Specifically, the determination unit 1003 refers to the product master 112 and determines whether or not “1” is stored in the record of the product flag corresponding to the input product code.

When "1" is stored in the product flag record corresponding to the input product code, that is, when the input product is the product to be ordered (Y in S2), the control unit 10 sends the tablet terminal 4 As order information, product information of the product to be ordered is temporarily stored in the RAM 103 (S3). Specifically, the control unit 10 refers to the product master 112 and stores the product name, price, and product image corresponding to the input product code as order information.

Subsequently, the registration unit 1002 performs product registration (S4). Product registration is a process of storing product information (product name, price, etc.) read from the product master 112 in the RAM 103 or the like based on the product code input to the input unit 1001 .

If the product identified by the product code input to the input unit 1001 is not the product to be ordered (N of S2), the control unit 10 skips the processing of S3 and proceeds to S4. Specifically, when the customer C causes the scanner 14 to read the barcode attached to the product, the product code other than the product to be ordered is input to the input unit 1001 . At this time, the control unit 10 performs product registration without storing product information corresponding to the product code input to the input unit 1001 as order information.

Next, the display processing unit 1006 displays the product information stored in the product registration on the display unit 12 (S5). FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen displayed on the display unit 12 by the process of S5. As shown in FIG. 12, the display section 12 is formed with a product information display section 121, an amount display section 122, and a selection button display section 123. As shown in FIG. This display screen is updated each time a product is registered.

The product information display unit 121 displays information on registered products. In this embodiment, the product information display unit 121 displays the product name 124, quantity 125, and price 126 of the registered product. The example shown in FIG. 12 indicates that three types of products are registered, one for each, and a total of three products are registered.

The price display unit 122 displays information about the price of the registered product. In this embodiment, the amount display unit 122 displays the total amount 127 of the registered product and the consumption tax amount 128 included in the total amount 127 .

The selection button display portion 123 displays buttons that the customer C can select. In this embodiment, the selection button display section 123 displays a transaction stop button 129 , an additional order button 130 and a payment button 131 .

When the additional order button 130 is operated, the control unit 10 displays on the display unit 12 an input screen, for example, a product selection screen, on which a fast food product code can be entered. The payment button 131 is a button for making payment for the registered product. When the payment button 131 is operated, the control unit 10 executes accounting processing for the registered product.

Returning to FIG. 11, description will be made. After displaying the product information, the control unit 10 determines whether or not there is an input for an additional order for fast food (S6). That is, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the additional order button 130 shown in FIG. 12 has been operated. When there is an additional order input (Y of S6), the display processing unit 1006 displays a selection screen on which fast food items can be selected on the display unit 12 (S7). This selection screen is, for example, the same screen as the selection screen displayed on the user terminal 5 (see FIG. 5). As a result, the customer C can order fast food in addition to the ordered items selected on the user terminal 5 or newly. Then, the control unit 10 shifts to the process of S1.

If the additional order information is not input (N of S6), the control unit 10 determines whether or not there is an input to terminate the transaction (S8). That is, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the transaction stop button 129 shown in FIG. 12 has been operated. If there is a transaction stop input (Y of S8), the registration unit 1002 deletes the product information registered for the current transaction and the fast food product information registered as order information (S9). Then, the control unit 10 terminates the processing.

If no transaction stop input has been made (N of S8), the control unit 10 determines whether or not payment has been inputted (S10).
