Description

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to electronic cash registers.

[Prior Art] In a conventional electronic cash register, when a product code, sales amount, sales points, etc. are input as sales data of a product from an input unit such as a keyboard, the sales amount, sales points, etc. are stored in a storage unit for each product code. It is registered and displayed on the display and printed on the receipt. Further, the sales amount is added and held until the sales registration of one customer is completed, and in accordance with the input of the subtotal key, the added amount up to that time, that is, the subtotal amount is displayed on the display unit and printed on the receipt.
Then, the change calculation is performed according to the input of the closing key, the deposit amount, the change amount, etc. are printed on the receipt and issued, the drawer is opened, and the sales registration process for one customer is completed.

By the way, in some stores that use this kind of electronic cash register, the service item is decided in advance corresponding to the product or subtotal amount, and the customer who purchased the product or the subtotal amount of the purchased product exceeds the set amount. There are shops that provide services corresponding to customers to provide services for sales promotion. In this case, since the presence / absence of a service item can be known at the time of sale registration of the item, it is common to provide the service item at the discretion of a clerk (casher) operating the electronic cash register. For this reason, the cashier must keep track of the products for which service items have been set and the subtotal amount. Since the memo is checked each time, the workability deteriorates.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional electronic cash registers, since it was not possible to automatically manage the products and service items associated with the subtotal amount, the cashier's memory and memos had to be relied upon. However, there was a problem of forgetting to hand over the service items and a decrease in workability.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide an electronic cash register capable of automatically managing a service item associated with a product and preventing forgetting to deliver the service item and deterioration of workability.

Further, the present invention intends to provide an electronic cash register capable of automatically managing service items associated with the subtotal amount.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As shown in FIG. 1A, the first invention is an electronic device for registering sales data 2 of a product input from an input unit 1 in a storage unit 3 and displaying the same on a display unit 4. In the cash register, a service item code memory 5 that stores a service item code of a service item that is preset for each item, a service item table 6 that stores a service item name corresponding to the service item code, and a sale The service item code search means 7 for searching the service item code memory 5 for the service item code corresponding to the corresponding item in response to the input of the data 2 and the service item name corresponding to the service item code searched by the search means 7 are displayed. The service item name reading means 8 read from the service item table 6 and the service item name read by the reading means 8 are displayed. 4 is obtained by a service product name display means 9 for displaying on.

In the second invention, as shown in FIG. 1B, the sales data 2 of the product input from the input unit 1 is registered in the storage unit 3 and displayed on the display unit 4, and in response to the input of the subtotal key 10. In the electronic cash register that causes the display unit 4 to display the subtotal amount 11 calculated from the sales data 2 of the product registered in the storage unit 3, the service product code of the service product preset corresponding to each product is displayed. A service item code memory 5 for each product to be stored, a service item code memory 12 for each subtotal amount that stores a service item code of a service item that is preset corresponding to the subtotal amount 11, and a service item name corresponding to the service item code. And a service product table 6 for storing the service product code and a service product code corresponding to the product corresponding to the input of the sales data 2 are searched from the service product code memory 5 for each product. Service code search means 7
And a second service item code search means 13 for searching the service item code corresponding to the subtotal amount 11 calculated according to the input of the subtotal key 10 from the service item code memory 12 for each subtotal amount.
And the service item name corresponding to the service item code retrieved by at least one of the first or second service item code retrieval means 7 and 13,
It is provided with a service item name reading means 8 for reading from the service item name and a service item name displaying means 9 for displaying the service item name read by the reading means 8 on the display section 4.

[Operation] In the electronic cash register of the first invention, when the sales data of the product is input from the input unit, the service product code corresponding to the product is searched for in the service product code memory. The service item name corresponding to the retrieved service item code is read from the service item table and displayed on the display unit together with the sales data.

In the case of the electronic cash register of the second invention, when the subtotal key is further input, the service item code corresponding to the subtotal amount of the product registered so far is searched for in the service item code memory for each subtotal amount. The service item name corresponding to the retrieved service item code is read from the service item table and displayed on the display unit together with the subtotal amount.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cashier display 24 is composed of, for example, a CRT display capable of displaying 26 lines per line up to 12 lines, displays a separate line on the 6th line, and presses the key above the separate line. As an area for displaying entered sales data and subtotals,
The lower side is an area that displays information about service items.

The customer display 25 also has the same structure as the cashier display as shown in FIG. 5, displays a separate line on the sixth line, and sells sales data keyed above the separate line. The area for displaying subtotals, etc., and the area underneath for displaying information on service items.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a circuit configuration of the electronic cash register, in which a CPU (central processing unit) 41 has an arithmetic circuit, a memory control circuit and the like built therein, and performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on various input data. Bus line 42
ROM43 that stores fixed data such as programs via
And the RAM 44 that stores variable data such as input data and arithmetic processing data. Also, the keyboard 22
Keyboard controller 45, which inputs the key signal from
A display controller 46 for driving and controlling the cashier display 24 and the customer display 25, a printer / drawer controller 48 for driving and controlling the dot printer 47 for printing on receipts and journals, and for opening the drawer 26, A clock circuit 49 for counting the current year, month, day, hour, minute, second, etc. is provided via the bus line 42.
It is connected to the CPU 41.

In the RAM 44, as shown in FIG. 7, a product code of each product, a product data memory R1 in which a product name and a unit price corresponding to each product code are preset, and a product code of a product in which a service product is preset. The service item code memory R2 for each product that stores the service item code of that service item and stores, for example, the code "000" for the product for which the service item is not set, and the sales amount for each product code and Sales accumulation memory that accumulates sales points
A product registration data file 51 including R3 and status memory R4 is formed. Also, as shown in the figure,
Subtotal amount range memory R5 that stores the lower limit value and the upper limit value of the subtotal amount in which the service item is set in advance, the service item code memory R6 for each subtotal amount that stores the service item code of the service item corresponding to each subtotal amount range, And a subtotal data file 52 including the status memory R7, a service item table 53 for storing each service item code, the item name of the service item corresponding to the code, and the status indicating whether or not the service item is in service. Service product code buffer 54 for temporarily storing the service product code and the number of occurrences during the sales registration of the customer, the subtotal amount buffer 55 for temporarily storing the subtotal amount calculated by the sales registration of one customer, etc. Are formed in the RAM 44.

When the product code key 32 on the keyboard 22 is input, the CPU 41 executes the process shown in FIG. That is, when the product code key 32 is input, the numerical data entered by the numerical key 31 immediately before that is recognized as the product code, and the product registration data file 51
Is searched and the product name, unit price and service product code corresponding to the applicable product code are read. Then, the product name and the sales amount (unit price × the number of sales points) are displayed on the upper side of the cash indicator 24 and the customer indicator 25, and are printed on the receipt and the journal by the dot printer 47.
Also, the number of sales and the amount of sales are added to the sales accumulation area R3 corresponding to the relevant product code. Next, it is judged whether or not the read service item code is the code "000" indicating that there is no service item. If it is other than "000", the service item table 53 is searched with the service item code to find the corresponding service item. Judge whether the status of the code is "1" or "0",
If it is "1", this service product code is stored in the service product code buffer 54. At this time, if the same service item code is already stored, the corresponding number of times is incremented. In the case of "000" and when the status of the corresponding service item code is "0", that is, when the service item is not serving as a service item, this processing is jumped.
Next, when the service item code is stored in the service item code buffer 54, the service item table 53 is searched by the service item code, the corresponding service item name is read, and the number of occurrences, that is, the number of occurrences is cached. It is displayed below the display unit 24 and the customer display unit 25. After that, the sales amount is added to the subtotal amount buffer 55, and the process ends.

Further, the CPU 41 executes the processing shown in FIG. 9 when the subtotal key 33 on the keyboard 22 is input. That is, first, after confirming that the data of the subtotal amount buffer 55, that is, the subtotal amount is not “0”, the subtotal amount data file 52 is searched by this subtotal amount and the subtotal amount is included between the lower limit value and the upper limit value. Determine whether there is an area. Specifically, first, the subtotal amount is the smallest lower limit value (30 in this case) of the subtotal amount data file 52.
It is determined whether it is less than (00 yen), and if it is more than this, it is determined whether it is less than or equal to the upper limit value (4999 yen) of this area. And if it is below the upper limit (4999 yen), this area (3000 ≤ subtotal ≤ 49
99), and if it is larger than the upper limit (4999 yen), it is determined whether it is less than or equal to the upper limit (7999 yen) of the next area. In this way, the area containing the subtotal is searched.

And if there is an area that contains the subtotal,
The service item code corresponding to the area is read and the service item table 53 is searched to determine whether the status of the service item code is "1" or "0". If "1", the service item code is serviced. Stored in the product code buffer 54. This process is not performed when there is no area including the subtotal amount and when the status corresponding to the relevant product code is "0". Next, it is judged whether or not the service item code is stored in the service item code buffer 54, and if not, the subtotal amount buffer 55
Only the subtotal in the above is displayed on the upper side of the cashier display 24 and the customer display 25, and printed on the receipt and the journal. On the other hand, when the service item code is stored, the subtotal amount in the subtotal amount buffer 55 is displayed on the upper side of the cash display 24 and the customer display 25, and the service item code is displayed from the service item table 53. The service item name corresponding to the service item code in the buffer 54 is read out and the number of items is displayed together with the cashier display.
24 and the customer display 25 are displayed below. In addition, the subtotal amount is printed on the receipt and the journal, and the process ends.

Further, when the CPU 41 detects the input of the cash total key 34, it performs normal closing processing such as change calculation processing, receipt issuance processing, and drawer opening processing, and then clears the service code buffer 54 and the subtotal amount buffer 55. Is configured.

In the electronic cash register of the present embodiment configured as described above, the number is entered by the number key 31,
Then, when the product code key 32 is input and one product is registered for sale, whether the product is a service product setting product or not is determined by the code in the service product code memory R3 of the product registration data file 51. If the product is a set product, the service product code is stored in the service product code buffer 54, and the service product name and number are displayed below the cashier display 24 and the customer display 25.
Further, on the upper side of the cashier display 24 and the customer display 25, the name of the registered merchandise, the sales amount, etc. are displayed. Then, the sales amount of this product is accumulated in the subtotal amount buffer 55.
Next, when the next product is registered for sale, the product name, sales price, etc. of the next product are displayed on the upper side of the cashier display 24 and the customer display 25, and the product is a service product on the lower side. If it is a set product, the product name and number of service products corresponding to the previous product are displayed below the product name and number of service products corresponding to this product. Only the product name of the product continues to be displayed. The sales amount of this product is also accumulated in the subtotal amount buffer 55.

When the subtotal key 33 is entered, the subtotal data file 52 determines whether or not there is a service item corresponding to the subtotal amount accumulated in the subtotal amount buffer 55. If there is a service item, the cashier display is displayed. 24 and customer display
The subtotal amount is displayed above 25 and each indicator 24,2
The item name and quantity of the service item are displayed below 5. At this time, if the service item name and the number of items corresponding to the product have already been displayed, the service item name and the number of items corresponding to the subtotal amount are displayed below. The display of the service item name is cleared when the cash total key 34 is pressed and the closing process is performed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, each time a product is registered, the presence or absence of a service item corresponding to the product is determined, and if there is a service item, the service item name and the number of items are displayed on the cashier display. Automatically displayed on 24 and customer display 25. Also, each time the subtotal key 33 is entered, the presence or absence of a service item corresponding to the customer's subtotal amount is determined, and if there is a service item, the service item name and number are displayed for the cashier display 24 and the customer item. It is automatically displayed on the display 25. Therefore, since the electronic cash register manages the merchandise and service goods corresponding to the subtotal amount, there is no need for the cashier to rely on memory or memos for management, and there is no risk of forgetting to hand over the service goods. , There is no danger of hindering the operation. Further, since the customer can surely recognize the presence or absence of the service item, the impression on the store is improved, which leads to the sales promotion and the occurrence of trouble can be prevented.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the service item corresponding to the product and the service item corresponding to the subtotal amount are managed has been exemplified. However, depending on the store, the service item is set only for the product, or the service item only for the subtotal amount. In some cases, even if managing at least one of the service items, almost the same effect can be obtained. Further, the management function of the service item corresponding to the product and the management function of the service item corresponding to the subtotal amount may be selectable.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where there are many kinds of service goods has been illustrated, but when the number is limited to about three kinds and the number is constant, as shown in FIG. The service item name may be constantly displayed below the display unit 25, and when the service item occurs, the service item name may blink. By doing so, the display area of the registration data can be widely used, so that it becomes possible to simultaneously display the registered product and the subtotal amount. Also, in this case, as the customer display 25, as shown in FIG.
Using a segment display that is cheaper than the T display,
A lamp 61 for displaying the service item name may be provided to turn on the corresponding lamp when the service item is generated.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically manage a service item associated with a product, and to prevent forgetting to deliver the service item and deterioration of workability. Can provide registers.

In addition, it is possible to provide an electronic cash register that can automatically manage service items associated with the subtotal amount.
