A sales data processing system according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
- Overall configuration of sales data processing system -
As shown in FIG. 1, the sales data processing system 1 of one embodiment includes a host device 10 having storage means for storing a product master 110, a store master 120, a member master 130, a shopping file 140, and the like; is provided with a mobile terminal 20 connected via the Internet or the like.

The host device 10 uses a cloud server, for example, and cooperates with a store controller (management device) 60 that constructs a store product sales system 6 via the Internet or the like. is updated based on each piece of information of the store controller 60, for example, at predetermined time intervals.

As the mobile terminal 20, for example, a smart phone personally owned by the customer is used. The mobile terminal 20 includes a camera (input unit) 260 for capturing an image, a display unit (display input unit) 250 such as a touch panel, and the like. Note that the mobile terminal 20 may be a dedicated mobile terminal for store lending.
A mobile terminal (smartphone) 20 has a function of a registration device that executes registration processing of products to be purchased when shopping at a store by installing a dedicated application.

The mobile terminal 20 can appropriately exchange information with the merchandise master 110, the store master 120, the shopping file 140, etc. stored in the host device 10. FIG. It also outputs information to a settlement device such as the POS terminal 70 .

The merchandise sales system 6 of the store includes a store controller 60 and a plurality of POS terminals (registration and settlement devices) 70 , and the POS terminals 70 can register and settle the merchandise purchased by the customer.

The store controller 60 is an information processing device that manages the entire merchandise sales system 6 of the store, manages the POS terminal 70 and the like, and also manages various information such as merchandise masters and member masters.
The store controller 60 acquires and stores a product master reflecting the latest product information from an external source (for example, a server at the head office or a removable storage medium).
The product master stores product information such as product name (product name, item name), sales price, and discount information in association with product identification information (for example, JAN code) assigned to each product. file.

The POS terminal 70 is a device for performing registration processing and settlement processing for products purchased by customers. It has a display unit 750 such as a touch panel for displaying read product information and the like, and a printing unit 770 for printing receipts and the like.
The POS terminal 70 can request registration information and the like from the host device 10 as necessary, such as when shopping identification information is input from the mobile terminal 20 .

An example of the POS terminal 70 is a POS terminal dedicated to settlement. In this embodiment, the customer registers the product at the store using the smartphone (portable terminal) 20 owned by the customer, and performs the payment processing using the POS terminal dedicated to payment, thereby completing the transaction of the product without the intervention of a store clerk. It can be carried out.

Note that the POS terminal 70 is not limited to a POS terminal dedicated to checkout, and may be a semi-self-type POS in which a store clerk registers products purchased by a customer and the customer pays the checkout by himself/herself. good. In the case of semi-self-type POS, the registration device that performs registration processing and the settlement device are separated, and the registration information registered by the registration device is output to the settlement device, and the customer himself/herself performs the settlement processing at the settlement device. Alternatively, it may be a face-to-face POS having a screen for performing registration processing for sales clerks, a screen for performing settlement processing for customers, and a cash processing unit.
Also, the POS terminal 70 may be a POS of a system (full-self system) in which a customer performs registration processing and settlement processing of products that the customer himself/herself purchases, that is, does not require the intervention of a store clerk.

In addition, the POS terminal 70 can be switched according to the congestion situation, store staff situation, etc., to be any of the semi-self-type POS where the customer performs the settlement process himself, the face-to-face semi-self-type POS, and the full-self-type POS. It may be a switching POS that can switch to
An example of a switchable POS terminal 70 is shown in FIG. The example of the POS terminal 70 shown in FIG. 2 includes a table 70a.
Further, it may be a normal POS cash register where a store clerk performs registration processing and settlement processing of products purchased by a customer, and is not limited at all as long as it can perform settlement processing.

Then, the sales data processing system 1 of the present embodiment can be retrofitted (add-on) to, for example, the merchandise sales system 6 of a store equipped with a store controller 60 and a plurality of POS terminals 70, so that customers can use smartphones owned by customers in the store. It is possible to build a sales data processing system that allows product registration.

The outline of the overall configuration of the sales data processing system according to the present embodiment has been described above.
In general, when a customer purchases an item in a store, the customer brings the item to the cash register, and the store clerk inputs the price of each item at the cash register, thereby summing up the prices of all the items. to determine the selling price in one transaction.
In determining the selling price, the store attempts to acquire customers by applying various discounts to lower the selling price.

FIG. 4 shows a system employed in a supermarket or the like that has multiple stores.
Normally, in a system such as a supermarket, a headquarters system (server) 50 is installed to manage all stores in an integrated manner. It manages a plan master, a bargain sale plan master for each store, a member master, and so on.

Each store is provided with a POS terminal 70 and a store controller 60 that manages the POS terminal 70 to construct a POS system.
The store controller 60 of each store receives from the headquarters system 50 a common product master, a store master, a product master for each store, a common bargain sale plan master, and a bargain sale plan master for each store. to (register). The member master may be received from the head office system 50 in the same manner as other masters, but may not be held by the store controller and may be inquired of the head office system each time member information is inquired.

Each store's POS system has its own selling price determination logic.
The selling price determination logic has some logic for calculating the selling price of the product that the shopper purchases, and when calculating the selling price of the product, which logic is applied to determine the selling price Includes functions to determine or judge.
For example, if a certain product is a product that is subject to a single item discount, but is also a product that is subject to a set-match discount, a set-match discount, which is a lower price, is applied. Which discount logic to select is determined by the settings.

Here, several selling price determination logics for determining the selling price of a product will be illustrated and explained.
First, let the standard selling price determination logic be the selling price determination logic (basic). In addition, the sales price determination logic unique to each company or store is defined as the sales price determination logic (company/store).
The sales price determination logic (basic) has functions such as subtotal (total amount calculation), subtotal discount/discount, single item discount/discount, bundle/mix match discount, and set match discount.
Selling price determination logic (companies/stores) includes, for example, the above subtotal (calculation of total amount), subtotal discount/discount, single item discount/discount, bundle/mix match discount, set match discount, as well as Equipped with discounts and discounts through special services and discounts and discounts for each payment type used for payment. In addition, the sales price determination logic (companies/stores) has its own functions, such as which condition is prioritized when multiple discount/discount conditions compete at the same time. The sales price determination logic (companies/stores) also has its own logic for subtotals (total amount calculation), subtotal discounts/discounts, single item discounts/discounts, bundle/mix match discounts, and set match discounts. You may prepare.

The logic included in the selling price determination logic will be explained with reference to Fig. 3(a). to calculate the total amount.
The subtotal discount (logic B) is a process of discounting the subtotal amount (total amount) by a predetermined amount or by a predetermined percentage.
A single product discount (logic C) is a process of applying a special discount or discount to a specific single product.

Bundle mix-match discount (logic D) is a process of discounting or discounting by collectively purchasing several products from a specific product group or the like.
Set match discount (Logic E) is a process of discounting or discounting by purchasing a combination of specific products.

Payment type discount (logic F) is a process of discounting or discounting according to the payment type used by the member at the time of payment.
Member-type discount (logic G) is a process of discounting or discounting a specific product or subtotal amount by being a member.
The lowest price calculation logic (logic H) determines which discount can be applied to calculate the lowest price when a product meets multiple discount conditions (multiple logics can be applied). This is the process of making a judgment.

In each store, according to the measures required by the store operator such as a company, several logics of the above logics A to H are combined to set the selling price determination logic in the store, and the selling price is determined. .
In addition to the above logic, the logic for determining the selling price determination logic can be appropriately set by the store operator (for example, setting which one to select when multiple discounts overlap). Or, it goes without saying that logic other than logic H may be provided.

Next, an introduction model of the sales data processing system of this embodiment will be described.

- An example of introducing a new sales data processing system with price determination logic (basic) -
Fig. 5 shows an outline of a model for introducing a sales data processing system having selling price determination logic (basic) independently of the existing selling price determination logic when opening a new store.
In the example shown in FIG. 5, the host device 10 of the sales data processing system can be configured by a store controller of a store, and the portable terminal 20 can be constructed by directly communicating with the store controller, which is the host device 10 . The product master 110 and store master 120 stored in the host device 10 may be constructed by directly inputting product information and store information using a Web browser or the like.

In this example, since the sales decision logic to be adopted in the new store is set in the store controller, the sales data processing system can be constructed smoothly.
An example of the flow of processing in this example will be briefly described below. The numbers in parentheses in the description indicate the processing in FIG.

In the sales data processing system of this example, (1) when a member carrying a mobile terminal 20 activates an application of the mobile terminal 20, the application acquires GPS information of the mobile terminal 20 and the acquired position. Information is sent to the host device 10 . If the location information cannot be acquired, the application displays the QR code (registered trademark) provided at the entrance of the store on the display unit 250 so that the portable terminal 20 can read it. is read, the information for identifying the store converted into a QR code (registered trademark) may be transmitted to the host device 10 . Note that means for acquiring position information is not limited to GPS.

(2) Upon receiving the location information (or information for identifying the store) from the mobile terminal 20, the host device 10 determines the location of the mobile terminal 20 based on the received location information and the information stored in the store master 120. Store information of one store or a plurality of stores closest to the position is transmitted to the portable terminal 20.例文帳に追加
When transmitting the store information to the portable terminal 20, the host device 10 may also transmit customer information (the number of acquired points, membership rank, etc.).
Furthermore, the host device 10 stores bargain sale information (store name, bargain sale information held at the store, leaflet information on which the store information is posted, etc.) used by the member, etc., together with the portable terminal 20. may be sent to

The mobile terminal 20 that has received the store information displays the received store information on the display unit 250 .
Alternatively, a plurality of received store information are displayed in a selectable manner.
The member confirms the store displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 20, and selects the store if a plurality of items are displayed, thereby specifying the store for shopping.
By specifying the store, the host device 10 associates the product master of the specified store with the mobile terminal 20 and generates a shopping file (basket data).

(3) When the member reads the symbol code information of the product to be purchased at the specified store with the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the read symbol code information (product identification information) to the host device 10. The product identification information includes all information that can identify products and can be acquired as images, such as barcodes, object recognition based on image feature values, and character recognition.
(4) Upon receiving the product identification information, the host device 10 extracts product information from the product master 110 based on the received product identification information, and transmits the extracted product information to the portable terminal 20 . The mobile terminal 20 registers the received merchandise information as merchandise to be purchased by the member.

(5) The product information registered by the mobile terminal 20 is transmitted to the host device 10 as registered product information, and the host device 10 stores the received registered product information in a shopping file (basket data).
(6) The high-level device 10 performs subtotal calculation using the sales price determination logic for the registered product information stored in the shopping file, and (7) transmits the calculated total amount to the portable terminal 20 .
As a result, the member can proceed with shopping while viewing the current total amount (approximate amount in some cases) while shopping.

(8) When the member completes shopping and displays symbol code information such as a QR code (registered trademark) storing shopping identification information on the display unit 250, the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 reads the symbol code information. , the mobile terminal 20 outputs the shopping identification information to the POS terminal 70 .
(9) The POS terminal 70 that has received the shopping identification information requests the host device 10 for shopping information (registered product information, etc.) linked to the shopping identification information.

(10) Upon receiving the shopping identification information from the POS terminal 70 , the higher-level device 10 extracts the calculated shopping information linked to the shopping identification information from the basket data and transmits it to the POS terminal 70 .
(11) The POS terminal 70 that has received the calculated shopping information displays a checkout screen based on the received shopping information. The member completes one transaction using the portable terminal 20 by making payment according to the settlement screen.
The flow of processing in this example has been described above.

Note that the POS terminal 70 may be configured to perform the subtotal calculation by the selling price determination logic. In this case, the host device 10 may transmit (10) uncalculated shopping information related to the shopping identification information to the POS terminal 70 in response to the request for shopping information from the POS terminal 70 (9). Furthermore, the mobile terminal 20 may be configured to perform the subtotal calculation by the selling price determination logic.

- Example of introducing a sales data processing system into an existing store (Part 1) -
This example is an example in which the existing store shown in FIG. 4 can be accounted for by the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system without using the store's sales price determination logic.
In this example, for example, a sales data processing system provided with selling price determination logic (basic) can be added to an existing store whose set selling price determination logic is the selling price determination logic (basic).

In the example shown in FIG. 6, a sales data processing system is provided by a cloud service to the existing store shown in FIG. be able to.

In this example, since the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 of the sales data processing system is the same as the selling price determination logic (basic) set in the existing store, registration processing is performed by the mobile terminal 20. There is no need to use the selling price determination logic of the existing store when determining the selling price based on the registered product information.
The sales price determination logic set in the existing store and the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system are not limited to the sales price determination logic (basic).

In this example, in order to use the sales data processing system, product information ( product master, bargain sale plan master, etc.) and store information are transmitted via the Internet or the like. It is preferable to transmit only information that is effective on the current day for the product master and bargain sale plan master.

The high-level device 10 provided by the cloud service acquires and stores product information (product master, bargain sale plan master, etc.) and store information, so that settlement processing is performed using the registration information registered by the mobile terminal 20. A sales data processing system can be constructed simply by adding the POS terminal 70 .

The shopping information in the shopping file 140 placed in the clout service can be periodically transmitted to the head office system 50 or the store controller 60 of the store via the Internet, or transmitted to the store controller 60 via the in-store network. Alternatively, the record of transactions performed by the mobile terminal 20 may be stored.

The flow of processing in this example is the same as that shown in FIG. Since it is the same as the installed sales data processing system, the explanation of the processing flow is omitted.
In the example shown in FIG. 6, the subtotal calculation by the selling price determination logic may also be executed by the POS terminal 70 or mobile terminal 20 application.
In addition, it is also possible to modify the application of the existing POS terminal (settlement device) 70 without adding a new POS terminal 70 .

- Example of introducing a sales data processing system into an existing store (Part 2) -
In this example shown in FIG. 7, for example, the sales price of the existing store shown in FIG. This is an example of performing accounting.
In this example, for example, the settlement amount is determined by the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store. In contrast, the selling price determination logic (basic) of the sales data processing system can provide the mobile terminal with an estimated dollar amount during the shopping trip.

In this example, a sales data processing system is provided by a cloud service to the existing store shown in FIG. 4, and the mobile terminal 20 communicates with the host device 10 arranged in the cloud service.
In addition, the existing settlement device (POS terminal) 70 can be modified to communicate with the host device 10 of the sales data processing system, and an application compatible with QR code (registered trademark) reading of the mobile terminal 20 can be introduced. Thus, a sales data processing system that supports product registration processing by the mobile terminal 20 can be constructed.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 of the sales data processing system does not correspond to the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store. Although the mobile terminal 20 cannot display the exact total amount, the approximate amount calculated by the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 can be displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20, It can be used as a guideline for shopping.

The sales price determination logic set in the existing store and the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system are not limited to the sales price determination logic (company/store) and the sales price determination logic (basic).

In the flow of processing in this example, in (6), the selling price determination logic for subtotal calculation is different from the store selling price determination logic, so the total amount sent in (7) is an approximate amount. and that the POS terminal 70 in (8), (9), (10), and (11) is a POS terminal installed in an existing store, the newly installed sales data processing shown in FIG. Since it is the same as the system, the explanation of the flow of processing is omitted.

- Example of introducing a sales data processing system into an existing store (Part 3) -
In this example shown in FIG. 8, for example, for the existing store shown in FIG. 4, a subtotal service is performed in which the headquarters system (server), store controller, etc. determine the selling price according to the selling price determination logic (company/store) of the store. This is an example in which a newly installed POS terminal 70 is used instead of an existing POS terminal to make a payment.
According to this example, for example, even when a POS terminal different from the POS terminal 70 whose payment is confirmed by the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store is delivered, the POS terminal It becomes unnecessary to retrieve the program.

In this example, a sales data processing system is provided by a cloud service to the existing store shown in FIG. 3, and the mobile terminal 20 communicates with the host device 10 arranged in the cloud service.
Then, for the host device (cloud service) 10, the shopping information stored in the shopping file is transferred to the subtotal service such as the headquarters system (server) and store controller, and the result calculated by the subtotal service is used. By adding a function to update the information of the shopping file, a sales data processing system corresponding to product registration processing by the portable terminal 20 can be constructed. If necessary, a function for performing data conversion at the time of information transfer or the like is provided.

In this example shown in FIG. 8, the subtotal calculation is performed by the subtotal service of the existing store headquarters system or the like, so there is no need to determine the selling price by the selling price determination logic of the existing POS terminal 70, and the existing POS terminal 70 Accounting can be performed using the new POS terminal 70 even if there is no network connection with the POS terminal 70 or the like.
Data such as sales results can be managed by transmitting them to the headquarters system (server) 50, the store controller 60, and the host device (cloud service) 10, respectively.

In this example as well, the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 of the sales data processing system does not correspond to the selling price determination logic (company/store) set in the existing store. 20, the exact total amount cannot be displayed, but the approximate amount calculated by the price determination logic (basic) set in the host device 10 can be displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20, and the shopping can be used as a guideline.

The sales price determination logic set in the existing store and the sales price determination logic provided by the sales data processing system are not limited to the sales price determination logic (company/store) and the sales price determination logic (basic).

An example of the flow of processing in this example will be briefly described below. The numbers in parentheses in the description indicate the processing in FIG.

In the sales data processing system of this example, the steps (1) to (5) are the same as (1) to (5) shown in FIG. 4, so they are omitted.

(6) The host device 10 performs an approximate calculation based on the selling price determination logic (basic) for the registered product information stored in the shopping file, and (7) transmits the calculated approximate amount to the portable terminal 20 .
This allows the member to proceed with shopping while viewing the current approximate amount of money while shopping.

(8) When the member completes shopping and displays symbol code information such as a QR code (registered trademark) storing shopping identification information on the display unit 250, the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 reads the symbol code information. , the mobile terminal 20 outputs the shopping information to the POS terminal 70 .
(9) The POS terminal 70 that has entered the shopping identification information transmits the shopping identification information to the host device 10 and requests shopping information (registered product information, etc.) linked to the shopping identification information.

(10) Upon receiving the shopping identification information from the POS terminal 70, the host device 10 transfers the shopping information linked to the shopping identification information to the subtotal service such as the headquarters system 50.
(11) The headquarters system 50 that has received the shopping information calculates the total amount using the subtotal service, and transmits the calculated shopping information (subtotal information) to the host device 10 .

The host device 10 that has received the calculated shopping information (subtotal information) updates the shopping information stored in the shopping file with the calculated shopping information and transmits the calculated shopping information to the POS terminal 70. - 特許庁
(13) The POS terminal 70 that has received the calculated shopping information displays a checkout screen based on the received shopping information. The member completes one transaction using the portable terminal 20 by making payment according to the settlement screen.
The flow of processing in this example has been described above.

As described above, the form of the sales data processing system in the present invention is not limited at all. That is, a system consisting of a host device 10 and a portable terminal 20 that can later cooperate with a product sales system of a store, an overall system formed by linking the host device 10 and the portable terminal 20 to the product sales system of a store, The device 10 is composed of the store controller 60 of the product sales system of the store, and the mobile terminal 20 is directly linked to the store controller 60 or the POS terminal 70 in the store. can be a sales data processing system in the present invention.

In addition, in the following description, an embodiment in which product registration processing and the like are performed by the mobile terminal 20 will be described. This is just an example, and the portable terminal 20 may simply function as an interface for product registration processing, and other processing may be performed by a host system such as the host device 10 or the like. In other words, it is possible to appropriately set which device constituting the sales data processing system performs what kind of processing.

-Upper device 10-
The host device 10 of the sales data processing system 1 of this embodiment includes storage means for storing a product master 110, a store master 120, a member master 130, a shopping file 140, and the like. The merchandise master 110, the store master 120, etc. of the host device 10 are updated based on the information of each master stored in the store controller 60 of the store.

In the product master 110, product information, store identification information, and the like are associated with product identification information unique to each product and stored. For example, it is possible to specify product information from product identification information, or to specify product information handled at a store from store identification information, using information stored in the product master. Information stored in the product master 110 is not limited to the product information and store identification information described above.

In the sales data processing system of the present embodiment, sales conditions (standard numbers) are linked to product identification information and stored in the product master 110, for example, as shown in FIG. 28(a). .
In addition, as shown in FIG. 28(b), in the product master 110, the discount type information, the identification number of the target product, the condition for establishing the discount, and the condition for establishing the discount are set for the sales conditions (standard number). A bargain sale table is stored in which the value of the discount at the time of purchase is linked.
Note that the sales conditions are sales conditions set for each product, and collective discount information such as, for example, a discount price being applied by purchasing a plurality of bulk products such as vegetables. , limited quantity information where the number of purchases per customer is set, and packed products such as meat where the unit price per gram is set. There is information, etc. It should be noted that the collective discount information is not limited to bulk products such as vegetables, but can also be set for products such as canned foods and instant noodles.
Information stored in the product master 110 is not limited to the product information, store identification information, and sales conditions described above.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the store master 120 stores store identification information, store name, location information such as GPS information of the store, and QR code (registered trademark) information indicating the store in association with each other. The information stored in the store master 120 makes it possible to specify a nearby store from, for example, location information.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the member master 130 stores member identification information and member information such as member names (names, addresses, credit card numbers, etc.) in association with each other. For example, from the member identification information, it is possible to specify store information and credit card information used by the member.

Furthermore, in the member master 130, in association with the member identification information, the member's usage frequency of product registration using the mobile terminal 20 in the past and the number of times of deletion (cancellation) of the registered product at the time of product registration. Information such as the number of times may be stored, and the membership level determined by the frequency of use (number of times) and the frequency of erroneous operations (number of times) may be stored.
For example, the host device 10 sets levels such as a beginner level (L1) to an excellent member (L5) as a member level, and the membership level is determined according to the frequency of use (number of times) of product registration by the mobile terminal 20, the frequency of erroneous operations (number of times), and the like. A level may be set and stored in the member master 130 .

As shown in FIG. 3(d), the shopping file 140 is a file that stores registration information registered by the member using the mobile terminal 20 when shopping. Registered product information (barcode information, product name, price, etc.) registered in the above is linked and stored as shopping information. The shopping identification information may be composed of, for example, a combination of store identification information, date, serial number, and the like.

In addition, the shopping file 140 may associate and store shopping identification information and pending product information for which the product could not be registered by the mobile terminal 20 at the time of shopping. Cancellation operation information related to the cancellation (cancellation) operation of product registration that has been performed may be linked and stored.

The shopping information stored in the shopping file 140 is synchronized with the product registration information in the mobile terminal 20, and the member can change the quantity of the registration information registered by the mobile terminal 20 or delete it during shopping. Then, the shopping information in the shopping file 140 is also changed or deleted.
Also, at the time of payment, the member outputs the shopping identification information from the portable terminal 20 to the POS terminal 70, and the POS terminal 70 sends the registration information linked to the shopping identification information to the shopping file 140 of the host device 10. etc.
The host device 10 requested for the registration information outputs the product information linked to the shopping identification information to the POS terminal 70 .

When the settlement processing for one transaction is completed, the host device 10 accumulates the shopping information for the one transaction in the shopping file 140 as the shopping information for which settlement has been completed. The member can use the mobile terminal 20 to access the shopping file 140 and refer to the past shopping history.
The shopping file 140 is synchronized with the shopping file stored in the store controller 60 of the store, and shopping information that the member has made without using the mobile terminal 20 may also be stored. By doing so, the member can refer to all past shopping histories at the store.

Also, the shopping file 140 may store the past history and the currently registered file in a separate storage area. When the current purchase is confirmed, it may be added to the past history file.

Also, the host device 10 supplies an application program (shopping application) that operates on the mobile terminal 20 . Note that the shopping application may be provided from a site on the Internet that provides applications for the mobile terminal 20 .

-Mobile terminal 20-
The mobile terminal 20 of the sales data processing system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 and screen display examples shown in FIGS. 12 to 15. FIG.
Note that the mobile terminal 20 will be described by exemplifying a smartphone in which a dedicated application supplied from the higher-level device 10 or the like is installed in a smart phone that is personally owned by a customer.

(Advance preparation)
In order to use the smartphone owned by the customer as the mobile terminal 20 capable of registering the store, the customer must register as a member (hereinafter referred to as "member") who can perform the registration process using the smartphone. I do.

When registering a new member, it is preferable to register information such as the member's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address that can be used to verify the identity of the member, as well as register credit card information. The registration procedure may be either online or offline. For example, a dedicated application may be downloaded by entering necessary information on a registration form, tablet, or the like at a store and notifying the registered e-mail address of the download URL, etc. Alternatively, the dedicated application may be downloaded from the host device 10. After the introduction, the member registration screen may be launched and the registration procedure may be performed. It may be provided from a site on the Internet that provides applications for the mobile terminal 20 .

Also, if the customer is already a card member of the store, etc., in the member registration process, the registration as a member may be completed by additionally registering only credit card information, for example.
Information to be registered is not limited to the above information. For example, in the case where the store is a chain store, by registering information such as the store that is always used, information unique to the store may be distributed.
The host device 10 stores the registered member information in the member master 130 .

Note that the operation history in the member master 130 may be used outside the store. In other words, the conditions, threshold values, etc. for displaying the confirmation screen by the clerk at the settlement device according to the member's operation level based on the operation history can be used outside the store.
Considering that a plurality of companies use the structure of the high-level device 10, if the use is limited to the security aspect of the operation history, it can be used by a plurality of companies beyond the use within the company group. is preferred. Note that the security level can be set by each company group and each store, and it is possible to freely set the rank setting of the member level and the operation level, the generation condition of the clerk's confirmation event, and the like. Further, the conditions may be stored on the settlement device side, received when the shopping file (basket data) is obtained, and the settlement device side may control the occurrence of the clerk's confirmation event.

(Store specific processing)
When the member activates the dedicated application of the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 executes processing for identifying the store in order to function as a registration device in the store (S201).

For example, the mobile terminal 20 may identify the store based on location information obtained from the GPS or the like of the mobile terminal 20 when the member activates a dedicated application of the mobile terminal 20 . Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 transmits the location information to the host device 10, and the host device 10 that has received the location information sends the information of the store closest to the location information to the mobile terminal 20 based on the store master 120. It is possible to specify the store where the purchase is made by transmitting the information.
If there are a plurality of applicable shops, a selection screen may be displayed on the display unit 250 so that the member can select from among the plurality of shops.

In addition, a QR code (registered trademark) containing the QR code (registered trademark) information stored in the shop master 120 is attached to the entrance of the shop, and the member sends the QR code (registered trademark) to the mobile terminal 20. By reading the . This method is effective when location information cannot be obtained. When location information cannot be obtained, a message such as "Please read the store's QR code (registered trademark)" is displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 20. You may make it Also, when a member enters the store, the store may be specified using short-range wireless communication such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (registered trademark), or beacon in the store. In other words, the means for specifying position information is not limited at all.

By specifying the store, the host device 10 gives access permission to the product master of the store to the mobile terminal 20 and creates basket data (shopping file) linked to the mobile terminal 20 .

Note that the portable terminal 20 may display a selection screen for selecting a store on the display unit 250, and the member selects the store from the selection screen to specify the selected store as the store to shop. good.
In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may notify information such as "special sale information", "related/alternative products", "new products", and "out-of-stock information" at the store when the member enters the store. If it is a holiday such as a regular holiday, the fact may be displayed on the display unit 250 . Further, when the store is closed, transition to the registration screen may be prohibited. We will prohibit registration through the app at a predetermined time before the store closes, and notify customers who have registered when the store will close. However, customers who are registered can continue shopping, and registration does not have to be prohibited even when the store closes. It is possible to continue as long as it is within the specified location of the store. It is also possible to make a notification prompting the payment in stages.

When the store is specified, the mobile terminal 20 displays a start screen 800 (FIG. 12(a)) for starting shopping on the display unit 250. FIG.
On the start screen 800, keys linked to member point information 800a, store information 800b of the specified store, notice 800c of bargain information, etc., coupon information 800d, etc. are arranged. A "start" key 800e for declaring the start is arranged.

When the member operates the "start" key 800e on the start screen 800, the mobile terminal 20 displays the registration screen 810 shown in FIG. 12(b).
Note that the mobile terminal 20 may immediately display the registration screen 810 without displaying the start screen 800 by specifying the store.

The registration screen 810 shown in FIG. 12B is divided into two upper and lower regions. 1 is set as the display area 811 . The mobile terminal 20 displays a message 811a of "Please read the product barcode" in the first display area 811 of the registration screen 810, and visually recognizes a mark 811b indicating the reading range for recognizing the barcode (product identification information). Display it as possible and complete preparations for product registration.

(Reading operation detection process and product information acquisition process)
When the member performs an operation to read the code information attached to the product (S202), the portable terminal 20 acquires the product identification information of the product from the read code information (S203).
In step S202, the mobile terminal 20 detects that the customer or the like has performed a reading operation to read the code information.

When the member takes out the product to be purchased from the display shelf and puts it in a shopping basket (basket), the member takes an image of the product with the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20, and as shown in FIG. By placing the barcode (code information) within the mark 811b displayed in the first display area 811 of the registration screen 810, the mobile terminal 20 automatically recognizes the barcode (product identification information). to acquire the product identification information stored in the code information.

In this case, if the mobile terminal 20 is equipped with a distance sensor or the like, the code information reading operation by the member is detected by detecting that the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 has been brought close to the article for a certain period of time. be able to. In addition, when the portable terminal 20 always automatically repeats barcode recognition and does not have a distance sensor or the like, for example, it detects that the same image has been captured for a predetermined period of time. By doing so, it may be detected that the member has read the code information. Similarly, when these detections are detected for a certain period of time, time-out processing is executed, "Product registration was not successful. Would you like to purchase? (Yes/No)" good. You can also confirm your purchase.

Also, the mobile terminal 20 may read product identification information from code information or the like captured by shutter operation or the like while the application is running, instead of automatically recognizing code information such as a barcode. In this case, it is possible to detect the code information acquisition operation by detecting that the shutter operation has been performed on the application screen.
Alternatively, it may be determined that the reading operation is being performed by monitoring the state of the mobile terminal such as inclination using a gyro sensor or the like. Specifically, the product may be detected by combining a predetermined distance, inclination, and the like.

If the bar code (product identification information) of the product cannot be recognized by the first imaging, the member may separately place the product as a reserved product and proceed with the registration process for the next product. At that time, the member should take an image of the reserved product and leave the image. By leaving the image of the reserved product, the member can easily identify the product at the later checkout process, and can easily correct the registered product information by the salesclerk.

Specifically, it is conceivable that the process of prompting the product to be on hold, such as the timeout process described above, may not be executed. In such a case, the customer has to keep trying to register the product, which is inconvenient. In such a case, it may be possible for the customer to decide to register the product as a pending product instead of the normal product registration. In that case, for example, a "reserved product registration" button is displayed on the registration screen, setting screen, etc., and when the button is pressed, it switches to an imaging mode in which the shutter is manually released. The front package of the product, the product barcode, the price tag on the shelf, etc., which could not be processed, may be photographed by releasing the shutter at their own timing, and counted up as pending products. That is, it may be possible to switch to the manual imaging mode at the member's will.

Note that the method of detecting the reading operation of the product identification information is not particularly limited.

If the product identification information cannot be obtained in step S203 even though the reading operation by the member is detected in step S202, the mobile terminal 20 determines that product information registration has failed (no in step S204). ).

For example, if the barcode attached to the product is damaged, or if the barcode is distorted due to the condition of the product packaging, some or all of the information recorded in the barcode cannot be read. products). In addition, there are cases where the member takes an image of a part of the product that does not have a barcode. In such a case, product identification information cannot be obtained by reading code information or the like. As a result, the product cannot be registered.
In step S204, it is detected that the product cannot be registered because the code information cannot be read.

In step S202, the portable terminal 20 detects the reading operation by the customer, and in step S203, if the product identification information can be acquired, the mobile terminal 20 confirms whether or not the product identification information exists in the product master 110. However, if the read product identification information does not exist in the product master 110, it is determined that registration of the product information has failed (no in S205).

For example, the product identification information stored in the code information is acquired and transmitted to the host device 10, but the acquired product identification information is not stored in the product master (non-file product) or connection with the host device 10 product information cannot be acquired from the host device 10. As a result, the product cannot be registered.
In step S205, it is detected that the product cannot be registered because it is the non-file product or the like.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 20 always automatically repeats the recognition of the barcode and does not have a function for detecting the reading operation such as a distance sensor, the step of detecting the member's reading operation S202 and determination step S204, that is, the detection process when the product cannot be registered due to the code information being unreadable, may be omitted.

(Product registration processing, registered product cancellation processing)
In step S205, if the acquired product identification information exists in the product master and the product information linked to the product identification information can be acquired, the mobile terminal 20 registers the product as the registered product information of the product purchased by the customer. do. The registered product information registered in the portable terminal 20 is also stored in the shopping file 140 (S206).
To acquire product information, the product master 110 stored in the host device 10 can be referred to. It is also possible to acquire the product information and register the registered product information of the product. Also, the product master to be referred to may be the product master stored in the store controller 60 or the POS terminal 70 .

(Display processing)
When the product is registered, the mobile terminal 20 displays a second display area 812 for displaying the registered product information and the current registration status in the lower area of the registration screen 810, as shown in FIG. 13(a). The third display area 813 is displayed (S209).

In the second display area 812 of the mobile terminal 20, product information 812a such as the product name, purchase quantity (manipulator) 812b, and product price 812c are displayed. A registered score 813a, an approximate total 813b, and a "checkout" key 813c for proceeding to checkout processing based on the registered information are displayed.

Also, the mobile terminal 20 arranges the third display area 813 above the second display area 812 , that is, between the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 . This allows the member to smoothly see the change in the estimated total at the time of product registration.
As shown in FIG. 12(b), the mobile terminal 20 displays a third display area 813 displaying the registered score of 0 points and the approximate total of 0 yen prior to product registration. good too.

The third display area 813 may be arranged independently of the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 or may be arranged within the second display area 812 .
In addition, the approximate total displayed in the third display area 813 should preferably display the exact total amount of the current sales price of the product. In addition, when a sales data processing system is introduced, accurate subtotal calculation cannot be performed by the store's price determination logic unless registered product information is output to the existing settlement device 70 such as a POS terminal. , the third display area 813 of the mobile terminal 20 may display an approximate total calculated by totaling the price of each product.
By displaying the third display area 813 on the registration screen 810 of the mobile terminal 20, the member can grasp the current number of items purchased and the approximate total while registering the items.
The mobile terminal 20 according to this embodiment displays a third display area 813 above the second display area 812 , that is, between the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 . This allows the member to smoothly see the change in the estimated total at the time of product registration.

The member can change the purchase quantity 812b of the product displayed in the second display area 812, or delete the registered product information of the product.
For example, when the member touches the purchase quantity 812b displayed in the second display area 812, the portable terminal 20 displays a quantity change screen ( pop-up) 820 is displayed.

On the quantity change screen 820, the number of products purchased at the present time and the price are displayed, and a "+" key 820a and a "-" key 820b for changing the number of products are arranged, and registered product registration information is deleted. A "cancel product" key 820c is provided.
In addition, when the purchased quantity 812b of a product that does not correspond to a change in quantity is touched, such as when the registered product is a limited-quantity product such as a closeout product or an irregular-run product, the mobile terminal 20 As shown in (b), a pop-up 821 without the "+" key 820a and the "-" key 820b for changing the number of products may be displayed, and only deletion of products may be accepted.

When the member operates the "+" key 820a and the "-" key 820b to change the quantity of the registered product information displayed on the registration screen 810, the portable terminal 20 displays the registration screen. The purchase quantity 812b of the product displayed in 810 is changed. The portable terminal 20 then outputs the changed registered product information to the host device 10, and the host device 10 updates the registered information stored in the shopping file 140 with the entered registered product information.

Further, when the member deletes the registered product information displayed on the registration screen 810 by operating the “product cancellation” key 820c, the mobile terminal 20 deletes the registered product information displayed on the registration screen 810. Withdraw (cancel) registration. The mobile terminal 20 then outputs the unregistered (deleted) registered product information to the high-level device 10 , and the high-level device 10 updates the registration information stored in the shopping file 140 .

In addition, when the member cancels the registered product information, it may be notified that the product is returned to the display shelf or the like.
At this time, if the position of the member in the store can be specified, it is detected whether or not the product whose registered product information has been canceled is away from the shelf to be returned by a certain distance or more, and processing and holding of returning to the shelf are performed. A screen may be displayed to select one of the processes to move to the basket.

When the registration of the registered product information is canceled by the member, the mobile terminal 20 associates the product information of the deleted product with the information indicating that the cancel operation has been performed, and stores it as canceled product information. You can leave it. In particular, when a product for which registered product information has been canceled is moved to a holding basket, it is preferable to store the product as canceled product information.

In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may erase registered product information whose registration has been canceled so that it is not displayed on the registration screen 810. You may display so that you can see that it has been canceled by, for example,

Further, the portable terminal 20 may output information indicating that the member has performed a cancellation operation to the host device 10 , and the host device 10 may store the cancellation operation information in the shopping file 140 .
Furthermore, the host device 10 may store in the member master 130 the number of operations for canceling (cancelling) the registered product information performed by the member in the shopping after the settlement process for the shopping is completed.

(Notification process)
If it is determined in step S204 that the product cannot be registered because the product cannot be read, or if it is determined in step S205 that the product cannot be registered because the product is a non-file product, etc. , the portable terminal 20 notifies the member that the product cannot be registered (S207).

For example, as shown in FIG. 13(b), the mobile terminal 20 performs a notification (pop-up) 830 to the effect that a product that cannot be registered is a pending product on the display unit 250. FIG. At this time, a message indicating that both products will be handled differently is provided, such as a display 830a prompting the user to place the normally registered product and the unregistered product in a different basket (or a specific area within the basket). good too.
Note that the notification that the product cannot be registered is not limited to pop-up display such as a message.

If the reserved product is an unreadable product and the code information of the product is displayed on the display shelf of the product, the portable terminal 20 notifies the user to read the code information attached to the display shelf. You may

(Reserved product information generation processing)
The mobile terminal 20 generates pending product information for products that cannot be registered (S208). The reserved product information includes, for example, member identification information, shopping identification information, reading time, etc. It is preferable to also store information on whether the reserved product is a non-file product or an unreadable product. Furthermore, image data obtained when the code information is imaged may be stored.

(Display processing)
The mobile terminal 20 that has generated the pending product information stores the generated pending product information, and displays it in the second display area 812 of the registration screen 810 in accordance with the registered product information 812d as shown in FIG. 15(a). Reserved product information 812e indicating that there is a reserved product is displayed (S209).
The reserved product information 812e displayed in the second display area 812 is preferably displayed in a display form different from that of the registered product information 812d.
In the example shown in FIG. 15(a), the mobile terminal 20 displays two pieces of registered product information 812d together with reserved product information 812e. It makes it different from the background.

In the second display area 812, the mobile terminal 20 displays the number of reserved products in the display column 812g, and displays the reserved product information 812e as normal registered products such as "Please put in a dedicated basket". A display 812f prompting to perform different processing may be displayed to inform the member that there is a reserved product and that the reserved product will be handled differently.
When displaying, it is preferable to also display whether the reserved product is a "non-file product" or a "non-readable product". This display allows the store clerk to provide a quicker response to the customer.

In addition, it is preferable that the pending product information 812e displayed in the second display area 812 can also be changed in quantity or deleted in the same manner as for normal products.
For example, if a member repeatedly reads the code information of a product that cannot be registered, a plurality of pieces of reserved product information 812e may be generated. , the mobile terminal 20 may delete the reserved product information 812e.
It should be noted that the mobile terminal 20 may output the pending product information and the information related to the cancellation operation of the pending product information to the host device 10 in the same manner as the registered product information.
Then, the host device 10 may store the input pending product information and the like in the shopping file 140 .

(Output registration information)
The mobile terminal 20 displaying the registration information proceeds to step S210 to detect whether or not the member has instructed to proceed to checkout. The registration information is output (S210) along with an instruction to proceed to the next step or an instruction to proceed to checkout, and the process is completed.
Here, the registration information output by the mobile terminal 20 may be shopping identification information.
The registration information may include registered product information for which product registration was successful, pending product information for which product registration was not possible, and may further include canceled product information for canceling product registration.

Specifically, the mobile terminal 20 detects that the member has operated the "payment" key 813c displayed on the registration screen 810 of the display unit 250, and detects that the "payment" key 813c has been operated. is detected, as shown in FIG. ) (S211). Note that the mobile terminal 20 may display (output) a QR code (registered trademark) 840 a generated based on the registration information stored in the shopping file on the output screen 840 .

The member causes the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 to read the QR code (registered trademark) 840a displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20, and the POS terminal 70 associates the product identification information with the host device 10. It is possible to obtain the registered information.

The symbol code information such as QR code (registered trademark) may store registered information including registered product information and owned product information. shopping identification information may be stored. For example, the shopping identification information may be path information such as a URL stored in a shopping file, or if the search destination for shopping information is common, any information such as a store identifier, member identifier, or date and time may be selected. Combine, and sequence no. etc., as long as it can be identified. There is no problem if the search destination is grasped on the settlement device side.

In addition, the mobile terminal 20 does not output the symbol code information storing the information, but by selecting the POS terminal 70, the selected POS terminal 70 outputs the registered information stored in a place other than the mobile terminal 20. may be obtained.
For example, when the member causes the mobile terminal 20 to read a QR code (registered trademark) that identifies a predetermined POS terminal 70 generated on the screen of the POS terminal 70, the mobile terminal 20 sends the predetermined POS terminal 70 to make a purchase. Ensure that accounting instructions are transmitted along with identification information. The POS terminal 70 that has received the payment instruction may acquire registration information linked to the shopping identification information.
By setting the Felica (registered trademark) or NFC identifier of the mobile terminal in advance, the registration information may be acquired by the IC reader.

On the other hand, if the customer does not give an instruction to proceed to checkout (No in S210) and the code information of another product is read, etc., the product selection from step S202 to step S209 is performed until the customer gives an instruction to proceed to checkout. Repeat registration.
The flow of processing in the mobile terminal 20 has been described above.

- POS terminal 70 -
Next, the POS terminal (settlement device) 70 of the sales data processing system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 11 and the display examples shown in FIGS.

(input processing)
The POS terminal (settlement device) 70 inputs the registration information (such as shopping identification information) output by the portable terminal 20 (S701).

For example, when the member causes the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 to read the QR code (registered trademark) 840a displayed (output) on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20, the POS terminal 70 reads the QR code (registered trademark) ) 840a to enter the registration information (such as shopping identification information).

(Notification process)
The POS terminal 70, to which the registration information (shopping identification information) is input, requests the shopping information linked to the shopping identification information from the host device 10. It is determined whether information or canceled product information is included (S702). Then, when the POS terminal 70 determines that the registered information includes the pending product information, the POS terminal 70 notifies to call a salesclerk (S703).

For example, the POS terminal 70 makes a notification to call a salesclerk by blinking a light (Patlight (registered trademark)) or the like that gives a visual notification from the POS terminal. The method of notifying the clerk to call is not limited to PATLITE (registered trademark). Any method such as notification to a device or notification to a portable device held by a store clerk may be used.
Then, as shown in FIG. 18, the POS terminal 70 displays a pop-up 910 on the display unit 750 indicating that there is a pending product among the registered products and that the clerk is being called.

Also, if the POS terminal 70 determines that the registered information includes the canceled product information, it may notify the clerk of calling (S703).
That is, in step S702, the POS terminal 70 may issue a notification to call a salesclerk if the registered information stores pending product information or canceled product information.
Needless to say, it is also possible to control the call notification of the store clerk by any of the above detections.

(Settlement process)
On the other hand, if the POS terminal 70 determines in step S702 that the registered information does not include the pending product information or the canceled product information, it proceeds to the settlement process.
Specifically, the POS terminal 70 displays a registration confirmation screen 900 on the display unit 750 as shown in FIG. 19 (S709).

A list 900a of registered product information is displayed on the registration confirmation screen 900 shown in FIG. 19, and an arrow 900c is displayed at a predetermined position on the registration confirmation screen 900. The member can access the registered product information by operating the arrow 900c. can scroll the display of the list 900a.
At the upper position of the registration confirmation screen 900, a total display column is arranged in which the number of items purchased in the shopping and the total amount are displayed. Furthermore, a "checkout" key 900b is displayed.

Further, at the lower position of the registration confirmation screen 900, a price range registration number display 900d indicating the registration quantity for each price range of the product is arranged. In the example shown in FIG. 19, for the price ranges of "1,000 yen or more", "500 yen to 999 yen", "300 yen to 499 yen", and "300 yen or less", the number of products is "3". , "4", "9", and "12" are displayed.
By displaying the registered quantity for each price range, the store clerk can grasp the outline of the products purchased by the member.
In addition, when a high-priced item is purchased, a light (Patlight (registered trademark)), other equipment (monitoring device), service management manager, etc. may be notified, and the store clerk will assist in packing the high-priced item. be able to.

Then, when the member operates the "checkout" key 900b displayed on the registration confirmation screen 900, the POS terminal 70 executes settlement processing according to the registration information displayed on the registration confirmation screen 900 (S709). complete the transaction.

(Display processing of registered product information and pending product information)
On the other hand, the POS terminal 70 that performed the notification process in step S703 displayed a list of the input registration information (registered product information and pending product information) when the "OK" key 910a of the popup 910 was operated by the member. The registration confirmation screen 920 is displayed on the display unit 750 (S704).

In the example of the registration confirmation screen 920 shown in FIG. 20, a list of registered product information 920a is displayed, along with two items of pending product information 920b and 920c that could not be registered and one item of canceled product information whose registration was canceled. 920d is also displayed.
At this time, the POS terminal 70 displays the registration confirmation screen 920 including the registered product information 920a, the reserved product information 920b and 920c, and the canceled product information 920d shown in FIG. 20 only by the registered product information shown in FIG. is displayed in a display form different from the display form of the registration confirmation screen 900 shown in FIG. For example, the registration confirmation screen 920 including the pending product information 920b, 920c and the canceled product information 920d may be displayed with different screen colors such as background colors, or with different character colors and fonts.

Also, the POS terminal 70 preferably arranges the reserved product information 920b, 920c and the canceled product information 920d at the top position of the list of the registration information 920a.
The display of the pending product information 920b, 920c and the canceled product information 920d is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, the POS terminal 70 may arrange the reserved product information 920b, 920c and the canceled product information 920d in the left area of the registration confirmation screen 920 and display the registered product information 920a in the right area.
By these displays, the member or the store clerk can easily grasp the presence of reserved products and canceled products among the products displayed in the list display, as well as the reserved products and canceled products.

At the bottom of the screen, the POS terminal 70 has a column 920e for displaying the number of pending products (including canceled products) in addition to a price range registration number display 900d showing the number of products registered for each price range. indicate. In the example shown in FIG. 20, "3" is displayed as the number of pending products.
In addition, the quantity of products that require explanation by a registered salesperson or a pharmacist, such as alcoholic beverages that require age authentication and second-class OTC drugs that require clerk intervention, may be displayed, including pending products. may be provided and displayed. At this time, the target product may be displayed by changing the display mode such as the background color, character font and size, or adding a mark or the like.

(prohibited processing)
If the entered registration information includes pending product information 920b, 920c and canceled product information 920d, the POS terminal 70, after step S704, includes the pending product information 920b, 920c and canceled product information 920d. Settlement processing based on registered information is prohibited (S705).

For example, the POS terminal 70, as shown in FIG. By not displaying , the execution of the settlement process is prohibited.

(editing process)
The POS terminal 70, which has been prohibited from executing the settlement process, corrects the pending product information according to the correction operation of the store clerk (S706).

For example, in the registration confirmation screen 920 displayed on the display unit 750, the POS terminal 70 edits the pending product information 920b on the display unit 750 as shown in FIG. An edit screen 930 for editing is displayed.
Note that the edit screen 930 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. Alternatively, the edit screen 930 may be displayed in a pop-up, and the edit screen 930 may be displayed in a partial area (for example, the left area) of the registration confirmation screen 920 .

A scan button 930a is arranged at a predetermined position on the edit screen 930, and when the store clerk operates the scan button 930a, the POS terminal 70 displays image data when the code information of the product is read.
The store clerk can confirm the pending product by looking at the displayed image data, and can know the correct product information by going to the display shelf to check the price of the product. Editing on the edit screen 930 may be performed by an appropriate method.

It should be noted that if all pending products are listed on the edit screen 930, it is possible to reduce the number of times the user goes back and forth between the registration confirmation screen 920 and the edit screen 930. FIG. Alternatively, since the pending product is displayed in half of the area of the registration confirmation screen 920 (for example, only the left side), by displaying the editing screen 930 on the other half (right side) over or instead of the registered product information, It is also possible to reduce the time and effort required for screen transitions.

The POS terminal 70 may reflect the pending product information corrected on the edit screen 930 by the clerk in the product master or the like.
For example, in the case of a new product to be handled, a product from a new customer, or forgetting to update the bar code, even if the bar code attached to the special sale product is read, it does not exist in the product master and becomes a non-file product. There is
In such a case, by reflecting the correction of the reserved product information performed at the POS terminal 70 to the product master, it is possible to prevent the product from becoming a reserved product thereafter. Only the items required for product registration and payment processing can be edited here. For example, product name, unit price, bar code (product identification information), tax category (reduced tax rate, tax included, tax excluded, non-taxable, etc.).

In addition, the POS terminal 70 may be configured to be able to make provisional corrections by editing the department and amount of items for which the price of the product is unclear.

22, the POS terminal 70 changes the pending product information 920b of the registration confirmation screen 920 by editing and updating the pending product information 920b into the registered product information that can be accumulated on the editing screen 930. Fix and display. The POS terminal 70 may display the corrected reserved product information 920b at the head position of the list of the registered product information 920a without moving the display position, but by correcting it, the display order of the other registered product information 920a is changed. You may follow and move and display.
Further, when the reserved product information 920b, 920c and the canceled product information 920d are arranged in the left area of the registration confirmation screen 920, the corrected reserved product information 920b may be moved to the right area and displayed.

Then, the POS terminal 70 changes the number of reserved products 920e displayed at the lower position of the registration confirmation screen 920 to "2".

The POS terminal 70 that corrected the pending product information 920b determines whether or not the registered information includes pending product information (including canceled product information), that is, whether or not all of the pending product information has been corrected (S707). If it is determined that all of the pending product information has been corrected, the prohibition of the settlement process is lifted (S708), and a registration confirmation screen 920 with all of the pending product information corrected is displayed as shown in FIG. (S709).

On the registration confirmation screen 920 shown in FIG. 23, the correct product information is entered and registered for the two pending product information items 920b and 920c that could not be registered. Cancellation of registration has been confirmed for the product information 920d.
By correcting or confirming all of the pending product information 920b, 920c and the canceled product information 920d, the POS terminal 70 displays "0" in the number of pending products 920e displayed at the bottom of the registration confirmation screen 920. FIG.
In addition, the POS terminal 70 changes the background color of the registration confirmation screen 920 to a normal background color, and displays a “determine” key 920 f above the registration confirmation screen 920 .
When the member or store clerk operates the "determine" key 920f, the POS terminal 70 completes the product registration/correction process and shifts to the checkout screen shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined that all of the pending product information has not been corrected, the POS terminal 70 returns to step S706 and repeats the correction process until all of the pending product information is corrected.
That is, in the example shown in FIG. 22, the POS terminal 70 prohibits the execution of the settlement process until the pending product information 920c and the canceled product information 920d are corrected.

A "cash" key 950a and a "credit card" key 950b for selecting the payment amount and accounting method are displayed on the settlement screen 950 shown in FIG. (S710) to complete the transaction.
The flow of processing in the POS terminal 70 has been described above.

Below, further description is added about each function with which the portable terminal 20 of this embodiment is provided.
―How to display the list of registered details―
Next, the screen display and the like of the mobile terminal 20 at the time of product registration will be further described.
(Normal registration operation)
During shopping, the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20 displays a registration screen 810 shown in FIG. 16(a).
When the member uses the mobile terminal 20 to read the information such as the barcode attached to the product, the mobile terminal 20 displays the second display area 812 arranged in the lower area of the registration screen 810 shown in FIG. 16(a). , the most recently registered product is displayed in order so that it is positioned above the second display area 812 .

As the product registration by the member progresses, the second display area 812 is eventually filled with the information of the registered product, and the product information whose barcode was read earlier is displayed in the second display area 812. Gone.
The member can check the registered products by looking at the second display area 812, but when purchasing many products, in order to check the information of the previously registered products, the second display area 812 is required. It is necessary to scroll the list display displayed in the display area 812 of , and confirmation is troublesome.
The mobile terminal 20 of the present embodiment expands the second display area 812 of the display unit 250 as necessary, thereby making it easier to confirm registered products.

Specifically, when it becomes impossible to display all the product information registered in the second display area 812 due to the registration of a plurality of products by the member, the mobile terminal 20 displays the third display area 813 as “expanded”. A key (manipulator) 813d is displayed.
Then, when the member operates the "extend" key 813d, the mobile terminal 20 extends the second display area 812 and uses the entire area of the display unit 250 to display the second display area, as shown in FIG. 16(b). 2 display area 812 and a third display area 813 are displayed.
Further, by expanding the second display area 812, the third display area 813 has a "reduce" key (manipulator) 813e for reducing the second display area 812 to the original range before expansion. may be displayed.

Needless to say, if all products cannot be displayed even if the second display area 812 and the third display area 813 are displayed using the entire area of the display unit 250, they can be displayed by scrolling.
Note that the operation for expanding the second display area 812 is not limited to the “expand” key 813 d arranged in the third display area 813 .

Then, the mobile terminal 20 hides the first display area 811 by displaying the second display area 812 and the third display area 813 using the entire area of the display unit 250. It is preferable to disable the acquisition of image data by the input unit 260 of 20 .

It should be noted that the second display area 812 and the third display area 813 do not necessarily have to be expanded to cover the entire display area 250 by operating the "Expand" key 813d, and the expanded range can be changed by the member's operation. Alternatively, it may be expanded to a state in which all products can be checked according to the number of products.
In that case, acquisition of image data by the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 may be disabled immediately after the second display area 812 is changed to include the first display area 811. Acquisition of image data by the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 may be disabled when the reading range 812 is expanded to the range visibly displayed in the first display area 811 .
As described above, when the imaging data cannot be confirmed using the first display area 811, by disabling the imaging means of the input unit 260, wasteful power consumption can be suppressed.

Furthermore, the second display area 812 may be expanded sequentially as the member performs product registration processing. In that case, the second display area 812 may be automatically expanded while securing the first display area 811 by setting the maximum expansion state of the second display area 812 .

It should be noted that the portable terminal 20 may disable the imaging means of the input unit 260 to save power when the barcode (product identification information) is not recognized within the reading range of the second display area 812 for a predetermined period of time.

The reason why the first display area 811 is positioned at the top of the screen is that when the operator operates the mobile terminal, the camera position of the mobile terminal is followed, and the line of sight of the actual imaged object is above the top of the mobile terminal. It is very easy to operate because it can be visually recognized. The reason why the second display area 812 is located at the bottom of the screen is that it is sufficient if the screen can be viewed when checking the purchased products. The expansion key of the third display area 813 enables full display, and when the front display is insufficient, all products can be confirmed by scrolling operation or the like.
Furthermore, during the imaging process, the operation is performed while confirming the current number of purchases and the purchase price. 3 display area 813 is arranged, it is very excellent in that it does not impose a burden on the operator's line of sight movement. In addition, it is easy to operate the expansion keys described above.

The display position of the operator on the screen may be switched according to member information or arbitrary timing. Specifically, since the controls are arranged in consideration of right-handed operability, usability is poor for left-handed or left-handed operations. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27(a), the "checkout" key 813c is arranged at a position approximately the same distance from the center line of the screen, and as shown in FIG. It can be moved or placed at the beginning of the product name display.
In other words, it is possible to memorize the arrangement of operators suitable for right-handed operation and left-handed operation, and switch automatically according to a switching instruction, member information, or the like. Furthermore, the "checkout" key 813c may be placed in a place where it is difficult to operate, for example, in a position on the opposite side.

FIG. 26 shows the flow of processing relating to the method of displaying the list of registration details described above. This flow corresponds to the subroutine of step S209 in the flow shown in FIG.
In step S<b>401 , the mobile terminal 20 displays the first display area 811 and the second display area 812 on the display unit 212 . Then, the mobile terminal 20 detects that the expansion operation of the second display area 812 has been performed by the member (S402). Execute (S403).

Then, it is determined whether or not the expanded second display area 812 has reached a predetermined range (S404).
The predetermined range in step S404 may be, for example, a range that includes at least the range of the first display area 811, or a range that includes the reading range in which the barcode can be recognized. Alternatively, the range may include the entire first display area 811 .

When the portable terminal 20 determines in step S404 that the second display area 812 has reached the predetermined range, the process proceeds to step S406 and disables the acquisition means 203 . Specifically, the imaging function of the camera is turned off. (Imaging means by input unit 260)

On the other hand, if it is not detected in step S402 that the member has performed an expansion operation, the process advances to step S405 to detect that the barcode is not recognized in the reading range of the second display area 812 for a predetermined period of time. However, if it is determined that the barcode has not been recognized for a predetermined period of time, the portable terminal 20 proceeds to step S406 and disables the acquisition means.

If the barcode is recognized in step S405, the process returns to step S402 to continue displaying the registration information.
The processing related to the display method of the product registration screen has been described above.

－Multiple purchases of the same product－
When performing product registration using the mobile terminal 20 of the present embodiment, if multiple identical products are purchased, the quantity displayed in the registered product information 812d of the registration screen 810 may be changed. The code information of the same product may be imaged multiple times.

However, when the code information of the same product is imaged multiple times continuously or after an interval of time, the portable terminal 20 displays whether or not it is permissible to purchase multiple products of the same product. Change the confirmation sound and vibration pattern when acquiring information. For example, "The same product has been read twice. Is the registration correct?"
This allows the member to recognize that the product registration process being operated is the acquisition of code information for a plurality of times.

Specifically, when an image of the same product is captured and the product is confirmed, it is possible to display a Yes/No selection button saying, "The same product has been registered. Do you want to purchase it?" good. Also, at the time of confirmation, the screen may be displayed so that the quantity can be adjusted. This method is efficient because there is a possibility of further additions when registering the same product consecutively.
After registering the same product, when registering the same product again with another product registration in between, the same confirmation is performed.
For fraud prevention, when purchasing multiple items, reading may be performed the same number of times as the number of items purchased. Similarly, in the case of deletion, the same number of times as the quantity to be deleted may be read.
Either or both of the operations for purchasing the same item may be used. Also, the operation method may be changed according to the member's operation level (skill).

Then, when the member registers the same product by imaging multiple times, the portable terminal 20 sets the purchase quantity of the registered product information of the product to the multiple times and displays it in the latest line of the list display. . Needless to say, the registration of the same product obtained by imaging a plurality of times may be displayed in a plurality of lines.

－Registration operation of products sold individually－
Products that are not suitable for affixing barcodes, such as fruits and vegetables such as cucumbers and bulk products such as fish, can be registered by, for example, capturing the barcodes attached to the shelves or containers on which the products are displayed. should be registered. Alternatively, a barcode or the like displayed on an electronic shelf label or the like may be used.
Needless to say, if a bar code is directly attached to the product, the bar code may be imaged.

Moreover, the portable terminal 20 may identify the product by capturing an image of the product that is not suitable for affixing a barcode and recognizing the product. Further, the registration process may be performed by voice or the like, or the registration process may be performed by displaying a preset key on the display unit and allowing the member to select it.

In addition, discounts are often applied to bulk purchases (multiple sales) when selling bulk products. , as shown in FIG. 17(a), a pop-up 850 is displayed in which the number of products that are cheaper due to bulk purchase is set as the initial value of the number of products to be purchased.
The pop-up 850 displays a product name 850a, a price per unit 850b, a purchase quantity 850c, and a selling price 850d for the bulk product, as well as a "+" key 850e and a "-" key for instructing change in the purchase quantity. ' key 850f, a 'cancel product' key 850g, and a 'determine' key 850h.

In the example shown in FIG. 17(a), a pop-up 850 in which a product with the product name "Hokkaido Corn" is registered is displayed. is displayed. In the purchase quantity 850c, the initial value is set to "3", which is the collective quantity. The member can know from the pop-up 850 that the product is a bulk purchase discount product, and can easily set the bulk purchase product registration by operating the "determine" key 850h.

The member can change the number of purchases by operating the "+" key 850e and the "-" key 850f, and can also cancel the registration of the product by operating the "cancel product" key 850g. is the same as the normal product registration operation.

When the member operates the "-" key 850f to change the purchase quantity, the portable terminal 20 changes the display of the pop-up 850 as shown in FIG. 17(b).
In the pop-up 850 shown in FIG. 17(b), the display of the number of purchases 850c is changed to "1", and the sale price (120 yen) to which no discount is applied is displayed. is displayed. The content and timing of the display prompting the bulk purchase are not particularly limited, and the mobile terminal 20 may display that the bulk purchase discount is no longer applied at the timing when the member changes the number of items to be purchased.

When the member operates (confirms) the "determine" key 850h, the portable terminal 20 registers the registration information according to the number set in the purchased number 850c.
In this way, the member can know from the pop-up 850 that the product is a bulk purchase discount product, and can easily set the bulk purchase by operating the "determine" key 850h.
Note that the initial value may be set to "1" even for products to which a bulk purchase discount is applied.

In addition, this registration operation is also applied to ordinary single-item products. In other words, by setting sales conditions such as bundle sales and bulk purchases, registration operations can be executed in the same way. The sales conditions are set by a product master, a bargain sale master, or the like, and are generated as information that allows the portable terminal to specify the product. Furthermore, a special sale for members, which is not applied to general customers, may be applied.

In addition, for products with limited sales quantity, for example, products with sales conditions such as up to XX per person, you can disable or hide the "+" in the upper limit quantity.
In addition, only "+" may be counted up in the quantity unit set in the sales conditions, and furthermore, the addition/subtraction keys may be displayed and functioned by changing the aspect of the addition/subtraction keys in units of "sales condition quantity". .
Furthermore, when the amount is subtracted from the "sales condition quantity", it is possible to notify that the sales condition is not fulfilled, and to change the mode of the description of the sales condition and display it. In addition, when "1" is added to the "sales condition quantity", the display may be switched to the next sales condition fulfilled quantity and the total discount amount.
By doing so, it is possible to encourage the member to purchase in the quantity specified in the sales conditions.

FIG. 29 shows an example of the flow of processing related to the registration operation of the above-mentioned individual products.
The mobile terminal 20 inputs the product information of the product purchased by the member (S501).
Specifically, the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20 acquires the product identification information by reading the bar code (product identification information) attached to the product, and based on the product identification information, the product master 110 Acquire (input) the product information of the product.

Next, the portable terminal 20 detects whether or not special sales conditions are set in the sales conditions of the input product information (S502). For example, in the table shown in FIG. 28(a), it is detected whether or not the product with the input product identification number has a sales condition (standard number).
The special sales conditions referred to here are sales conditions in which certain conditions are set regarding the number of products to be sold, such as setting an upper limit on the number of products to be sold in bulk or the number of purchases per person.
Furthermore, if the number of purchases is stored in advance in a shopping list or the like, the number of purchases may also be included in the sales conditions. It may also indicate that the item is frequently purchased by the customer (item with a purchase history).

In step S502, when it is detected that a special sales condition is set in the product information, for example, by referring to the product master bargain sale data shown in FIG. Get information about
Then, the mobile terminal 20 determines the number of purchases when the member purchases the product based on the acquired information on the number of successful sales, that is, the detected sales conditions (S503).

For example, from the acquired product identification information 0001 (corn), it is detected that the product is the object product for which the package discount of plan number 1 is set, and that the number of sales condition satisfaction of plan number 1 is 3. It acquires and determines the number of bundled items "3" to be discounted as the number. In addition, for example, in the case of a limited-quantity product for which sales conditions are set such as two per person, the limited quantity is determined as the quantity. Also, if the product is frequently purchased by the customer (product with a purchase history), the number of items purchased last time may be used.

The mobile terminal 20 that has determined the number of items displays a confirmation screen for determining the registration of the item on the display unit 250 with the number set in advance for the number of items to be purchased (S504).
Normally, when the member reads the bar code (product identification information) of the product, the portable terminal 20 sets "1" as the number of purchases and registers the product. If a special sales condition is set for the purchased product, for example, if the product is subject to a bulk discount, for example, as shown in FIG. display.

In step S504, the portable terminal 20 displaying the confirmation screen waits for the "OK" key 850h arranged on the confirmation screen to be operated.
If an operation to change the number of purchases is performed on the confirmation screen, the number of purchases is changed according to the operation.

In step S506, when it is detected that the "determine" key 850h has been operated by the member, the portable terminal 20 registers the merchandise according to the number of purchases at the time the "determine" key 850h is operated, and starts processing. complete.

On the other hand, if it is detected in step S502 that no special sales conditions have been set in the product information, the process proceeds to step S505, sets the number of purchases to "1", and proceeds to step S507 without displaying the confirmation screen. Proceed to register the product and complete the process.
The above is a description of the processing related to the operation of registering individual products.

－Registration operation of irregular measure products－
When registering products sold by weight, such as meat and side dishes, a price label on which product information is recorded is printed by a weighing machine for weighing the products sold by weight, and the portable terminal 20 reads the bar code printed on the price label. Product registration processing is performed by reading the
By connecting the weighing scale to the store controller, the product information recorded on the issued pricing label can be added to the product master.
It should be noted that it may be configured such that the purchase quantity cannot be changed by operating the list display on the registration screen 810 for the non-fixed measure product.

When the weighing scale is connected to a network, the weighing scale and the mobile terminal 20 are connected by short-range wireless communication or the like. The product to be weighed may be specified by operating , and the information of the weighed product may be registered in the portable terminal 20 by weighing the product with a weighing scale. In this case, the label issued by the weighing machine may be attached to the product with only information such as expiration date printed on it.
Furthermore, if member information, application user ID, etc. can be recognized by an IC, etc., shopping data can be generated even from a weighing machine exclusively for bulk, and can be uploaded as customer shopping data, and the two data can be collated. It is also possible to prevent fraud etc.
In addition, if only the product is designated and the mass is not fixed, that is, the purchase price is not fixed, the product may be handled as a reserved product.

－Registration of coupon information－
The mobile terminal 20 can register coupon information of paper-based coupons. For example, by reading the bar code printed on the coupon, the recorded discount information can be acquired and reflected in the registered product information.
If the recorded coupon information is unique coupon information, the coupon information may be invalidated by reading the coupon information.
If it is necessary to collect the coupon, the store clerk may be called during shopping to input the coupon, or the POS terminal 70 that performs the settlement process may be specified as a manned POS or the like to settle the account.

Note that the portable terminal 20 may automatically calculate the maximum discount condition based on the read coupon information, reflect the result in the product price, and output the registration information.
In addition, the portable terminal 20 includes the read coupon information in the product registration information and outputs it as code information such as a symbol code. may be output and discount processing or the like may be performed.
In this case as well, the shopping identification information and the coupon identification information are recorded in the code information such as the QR code (registered trademark) output by the portable terminal 20, and the POS terminal 70 that acquires the identification information The registration information and the coupon information may be acquired from the host device 10 based on this.

－Use of shopping list－
The member specifies a store using the mobile terminal 20, designates all or part of the product master of the store, and downloads the product master, thereby obtaining a list of products that the member plans to purchase using the mobile terminal 20. (hereinafter referred to as "shopping list").
For example, the mobile terminal 20 creates a shopping list when the member selects and registers products to be purchased from the product information list displayed on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20 . Moreover, the portable terminal 20 may automatically register products that are purchased on a daily basis as products to be purchased when creating a shopping list.

The member can display the shopping list on the display unit 250 of the mobile terminal 20 and use the shopping list when registering the product at the store.
The order of the products to be purchased in the displayed shopping list may be in the order of the aisle of the store or in the order of the department, or can be freely set and changed.
Also, for example, by voice input such as "Very good", "Seika", etc., the mobile terminal 20 may display only the corresponding department or may display it in the upper position of the display area.

When the member registers products, the portable terminal 20 changes the display of product information on the shopping list and erases the shopping list. This allows the member to know that the product to be purchased has been registered.
Note that the mobile terminal 20 may notify the planned purchase quantity and register the planned quantity for the products that are planned to be purchased in multiples, thereby performing the deletion or the like.

Moreover, the portable terminal 20 may be arranged such that the product registration process cannot be executed until after the member designates the product to be registered from the shopping list. As a result, the intended purchase product can be purchased without fail, and excessive impulse buying such as purchase of an unplanned product can be suppressed.

It should be noted that when the member designates a product and then takes an image of a product other than the product, the portable terminal 20 may display an error or the like. In addition, the mobile terminal 20 may display an error or the like even when another product registered in the shopping list is imaged.

Note that the mobile terminal 20 allows product registration processing even for products that do not exist in the shopping list. Notification is preferred.
Furthermore, the portable terminal 20 may display a list of registered information so that products that are present in the shopping list and products that are not present can be distinguished.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal 20 may complete the registration of the product when the member clicks the product name displayed in the shopping list. Members can register products more smoothly without having to read the barcode of the product. Also, by registering products using the shopping list, it is possible to easily perform registration processing for products to which barcodes are not attached. Also, it may be limited to functioning as a preset key for products to which barcodes are not attached. You don't have to bother to read the bar code on the selling price plate or the like. An operation button may be provided for displaying alternatives such as production area (manufacturer), standard, and capacity.

The portable terminal 20 can automatically add products that are regularly purchased from past shopping history information to the shopping list, and create a "shopping list" by scanning barcodes of empty containers at home. can also be enabled. Also, it may be limited to functioning as a preset key for products to which barcodes are not attached. You don't have to bother to read the bar code on the selling price plate or the like. An operation button may be provided for displaying alternatives such as production area (manufacturer), standard, and capacity.

The portable terminal 20 automatically adds regularly purchased products to the shopping list based on past shopping history information, and creates a "shopping list" by scanning barcodes of empty containers at home. You may also make it possible.
If there is a product registered in the shopping list but without registration information, the portable terminal 20 may notify the member by displaying on the registration screen or the like that the product has been forgotten to be purchased. , you may inquire whether or not to purchase the item you forgot to buy.

－Registration information output process－
The output processing of registration information at the time of payment will be further described.
The registration information is basically output by converting the shopping identification information into a QR code (registered trademark), displaying it on the portable terminal 20, and reading it with the POS terminal 70. FIG.
The POS terminal 70 that has read the QR code (registered trademark) requests shopping information from the host device 10 based on the acquired shopping identification information. A subtotal calculation is performed based on the purchased shopping information, and the calculated shopping information is transmitted to the POS terminal 70. - 特許庁

A QR code (registered trademark) that encodes the shopping information may be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 20 and output to the POS terminal 70 . In that case, the code information (QR code (registered trademark) 840a) displayed on the output screen 830 of the mobile terminal 20 was read by the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 to output the registration information and perform the settlement process. If there is a lot of registration information and the amount of information is not enough for one code information, a plurality of code information are continuously displayed and read continuously by the input unit 760 of the POS terminal 70 to read all the registration information. In this case, it is preferable to display the total number of pieces of code information and the number of currently displayed code information on the output screen 830 .

In addition, instead of reading the registered product information with the QR code (registered trademark), the information in the storage area of the shopping file is displayed, and the "shopping file" is acquired from the information in the storage area. Acquire and receive information. In addition, not only the QR code (registered trademark) but also the one-dimensional code can identify the member information such as the NFC identification code of the mobile terminal, and the shopping file can be easily identified by setting the identifier in the shopping file.

As described above, when the registration information is output by displaying the code information (QR code (registered trademark) 840a) on the output screen 830 of the mobile terminal 20, the POS terminal 70 completes the registration information input processing. Until then, the mobile terminal 20 does not stop displaying the code information.

For example, when the POS terminal 70 completes reading the code information (QR code (registered trademark) 840a), it notifies the portable terminal 20 of the fact. The display of the code information may be terminated by displaying on the display unit 250 of the terminal 20 a message such as "Commodity registration will be terminated. Subsequent operations will be performed on the settlement device."

As a result, the member can know that the product registration process by the mobile terminal 20 has been completed, and can concentrate on the settlement process by the POS terminal 70 .
The mobile terminal 20 such as a smart phone that has completed the product registration process ends the output screen 830 displayed on the display unit 250 and returns to the start screen 800 .

Further, the output of registration information from the mobile terminal 20 to the POS terminal 70 is not limited to display of code information.
For example, when the customer completes the registration process using the mobile terminal 20 and selects the POS terminal 70 that performs the settlement process, the mobile terminal 20 specifies the POS terminal 70 and registers it with the POS terminal 70 via the network. information may be output.

Further, by reading the identification information of the POS terminal 70 attached to or displayed on the screen of the POS terminal 70 by the input unit 260 of the mobile terminal 20, the registered information for the POS terminal 70 of the read identification information is sent via the network. It is also possible to output At this time, the registration information may be output not directly to the POS terminal 70 selected by the portable terminal 20 but via a host system such as the host device 10 or the store controller 60 .
That is, the mobile terminal 20 outputs shopping identification information to the selected POS terminal 70, and the POS terminal 70 that has input the shopping identification information requests and acquires registration information corresponding to the host system based on the shopping identification information. You may

In addition, the portable terminal 20 receives the status information of the POS terminal 70, displays the status button of the POS terminal 70 on the display unit 250, and when the member selects the POS terminal 70, the selected POS terminal 70 You may make it output registration information to.
Further, based on the status information transmitted from the POS terminal 70 to the mobile terminal 20, the mobile terminal 20 may automatically select and output the POS terminal 70 that outputs the registration information or the shopping identification information.
The output of the registration information from the mobile terminal 20 to the POS terminal 70 is not particularly limited, and may be performed by an appropriate method.

While shopping, there may be times when the member remembers that there is an item he or she forgot to buy during the checkout process. By doing so, the POS terminal 70 displays a notification screen such as "Settlement will be canceled. Subsequent operations will be performed on the smartphone." The display of 810 may be performed again so that product registration can be continued.

－Payment processing－
The member selects a payment method for product payment processing on the payment screen 950. If the payment method is registered in advance when the member is registered, the POS terminal 70 selects the payment method. screen does not have to be displayed. Note that it is preferable that the payment method can be changed even if the payment method is registered.
For products that require age authentication, such as alcoholic beverages, it is necessary to call a store clerk as with reserved products. In addition, in the case of pharmaceuticals, explanations from a pharmacist or a registered salesperson are obligatory for second-class pharmaceuticals, so a store clerk may be called in a manner different from reserved products.
These products are handled in the same way as reserved products and stored as reserved product information. At the time of payment, the clerk is called by the notifying means and displayed on the screen of the POS terminal 70 in the same manner as the reserved product information. If editing (confirmation processing) is not performed, accounting is preferably prohibited by means of prohibition.
Furthermore, the purchase may be prohibited by notifying the absence of the pharmacist or registered seller.

For the settlement process, payment by gift certificate or payment by point member's points is also possible. Also, discount tickets such as coupons can be used, and payment can be made in the same manner as normal payment processing, such as paying out change and issuing receipts.
When a store clerk needs to intervene to collect gift certificates, etc., the store clerk is automatically called. Alternatively, a display may be displayed on the display unit to guide the user to a service counter, manned POS, or the like.

Further, it is preferable that control is performed so that settlement processing is not performed based on registered product information registered at a store different from the store specified by the member.
That is, the basket data (shopping file) generated by specifying the store has store identification information, and the registration information registered by the mobile terminal 20 in which the other store is specified is output, and the POS When the terminal 70 attempts to perform settlement processing, an error message such as "This is not a purchase at the main store."
Also, when product registration processing is performed using the mobile terminal 20 in which another store has been specified, the display screen of the mobile terminal 20 displays the message "Payment for other stores has not been completed. Would you like to create basket data for our store?" A message such as "You are logged in to another store. You cannot log in" may be displayed to prevent shopping at other stores.

In addition, it is preferable to have a check by a store clerk as necessary at the time of settlement processing.
The check by the clerk may be performed in the clerk calling process in step S703 of the flow in FIG. 11, but may be performed at other timings.
Also, the checking of the settlement process by the clerk may be carried out at random as a surprise inspection, but it is preferable that it is carried out according to the usage status and operation level of the mobile terminal 20 of the member.

For example, a check may be performed by a store clerk for members whose member level is the lowest level L1 stored in the customer file. As a result, members who use the service for the first time are always checked and supported by the staff.
On the other hand, for high level L5 members who have experienced the registration process with the mobile terminal 20 multiple times and who have few erroneous operations with the mobile terminal 20, check and support by the store clerk will be omitted, reducing the burden on the store. be able to.

Also, as in the clerk calling process in step S703 in FIG. Checks and support by store personnel are preferred.

For example, the mobile terminal 20 or the POS terminal 70 refers to the member file, acquires the number of past cancellations, and checks the members whose past number of cancellations exceeds a predetermined number by the store clerk, or refers to the shopping file. In the shopping, a member who has performed a registration deletion (cancellation) operation for a predetermined number or more may be checked by a store clerk.

Specifically, the POS terminal 70 may be set to call a clerk for a transaction in which the product registration cancellation operation is performed multiple times (for example, three times) or more during the transaction.
In addition, when calling a store clerk based on a registration canceling operation, a history of multiple purchases in the past may be taken into consideration. For example, if the total number of registration cancellation operations of this time, last time, and the time before last is 5 or more, it may be set to call a clerk.

With this, for example, a customer who pretends to be performing product registration processing by scanning a place where the product barcode is not attached, or a customer who deletes the registration information without returning the product. The customer can be checked by the store clerk.

In addition, by setting whether or not to be checked by the clerk at the time of settlement processing based on the operation history of the mobile terminal 20 at the time of member registration processing, members who frequently perform registration cancellation operations and erroneous operations and who are accustomed to registration operations using the mobile terminal 20 can be set. By focusing on members who are highly likely not to be members and actively intervening by the store clerk, it is possible to improve serviceability, efficiency, and security. Furthermore, a notice prohibiting the use of the application may be issued.

It should be noted that the intervention of the store clerk based on the operation history of the mobile terminal 20 during the member registration process is not limited to the settlement process, and may be at the time of entering the store or registering the product. On the other hand, the product registration process can proceed smoothly by having a store clerk intervene at the time of entering the store rather than having the store clerk intervene at the time of checkout.

- Prevention of forgetting payment -
When the member moves out of the store without completing the payment processing for the purchased product, the portable terminal 20 notifies that the payment processing for the product has not been completed.
Specifically, when the location of the mobile terminal 20 is specified by the GPS location information and the mobile terminal 20 moves out of the store premises without performing the settlement process, the mobile terminal 20 is stored in the registered customer's e-mail address and application. Notify on screen.

In addition, when the product registration process is performed using the app, the customer is notified by not forcibly closing the app or prohibiting the launching of other apps until the payment process is completed. may
In addition, automatic payment may be made using a pre-registered payment means such as a credit card, and notification may be sent by e-mail.
Furthermore, it is also possible to operate without performing settlement processing in the settlement device by registering credit, electronic money, or a withdrawal account of a financial institution. However, since it is better for the member to check the content of the purchase, the member can also shop with peace of mind. In addition, if there are no pending products, or if there is no need to handle cash payments, gift certificates, or coupons depending on the member's operation level, etc., in other words, it is necessary to use payment devices such as online payment and direct debit. If there is no such information, the fact that the operation of the settlement device may be skipped may be notified at the time of displaying the registration information or shopping identification information on the QR code (registered trademark) or the like in the registration completion operation. Alternatively, instead of the screen, a notification or guidance such as "no operation on the settlement device is required" may be provided.
