Description

Description of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a case where a product is purchased at a department store, a chain store, or the like, or a service such as automobile repair or insurance contract is provided. About the receipt you receive. 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a magnetic card has been used when purchasing a product or receiving a service that does not involve the movement of a specific product such as car repair or insurance contract. It is becoming increasingly common to pay using Department stores, chain stores, home centers, specialty stores, shopping centers, etc. issue their own cards and try to fix or demobilize customers through these cards. In order to fix or demobilize customers through their own card, of course, collect customer information such as what kind of product the customer purchased when, and what kind of product the customer wants Although it is important to accurately understand customer needs, it is also important to provide services such as providing discount coupons, service coupons, or gifts to customers who have purchased a certain amount of goods or more. Can be However, a conventional company card is a magnetic card issued to a customer who purchases a product by credit, and is called a credit card. In other words, when a customer purchases a product, the customer presents the magnetic card and makes a credit purchase, and is used as a type of identification card that provides credit for determining whether the customer can purchase the credit. Was working. Thus, a credit card is required only for customers who purchase credit, and not for customers who only purchase cash. For this reason, it is not possible to give a customer who only purchases cash with a company card, and the customer who owns the company card can grasp the actual condition of credit purchase, but cannot grasp the situation of cash purchase. Therefore, department stores, chain stores,
In fact, home centers, supermarkets, specialty stores, shopping centers, and the like do not show sufficient effects to secure or demobilize customers by issuing and using their own cards. [0004] On the other hand, services such as providing prizes or providing service tickets to customers who have purchased a certain amount of goods or more by cash purchase have conventionally been available in stores at a blue chip, a green chip according to the purchase amount. Stamp-like printed materials called stamps were handed directly. However, customers who have received such stamped printed matter have to keep it affixed to a predetermined notebook or the like, and many people find this operation extremely cumbersome. For this reason, the service of handing out the stamp-like printed matter according to the purchase price of the product does not necessarily show a sufficient effect for fixing or immobilizing customers. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-149561 (hereinafter referred to as “known example 1”) discloses that either one of the number of coupon tickets corresponding to the purchase amount this time or a cumulative value thereof is provided together with a customer code. A technique for printing on a ticket / receipt is described. However, this technique simply records the number of coupons or the cumulative value thereof on a receipt, and even with this technique, no consideration is given to lost or illegally used receipts. [0006] Further, although the details of the "customer code" in the known example 1 are not necessarily clear (how the register recognizes the customer code on the assumption that the customer code is printed on the receipt. Whether the customer remembers the code or the customer checks the table when the customer says the name), is just the customer's number, and is printed by using a primitive method of putting the code number into humans It does not presuppose the use of any kind of card, and there is no description in the known example 1 to present a magnetic card. That is, in the first known example, when a customer presents a receipt and requests a service in accordance with the number of coupons, it is not assumed that a card is used. It is unknown whether or not the user is the right holder (the customer code is described in the receipt itself, and does not contribute to rejecting a service request by a person other than the right holder). [0008] In this sense, the receipt of the known example 1 cannot confirm at the store whether the service of the number of coupons described in the receipt can be provided to the receipt holder, and the receipt locator cannot. Powerless against illegal use such as In addition, in the receipt of the known example 1, when the first method and the third method in the embodiment described in the publication are used, the total value of the number of coupon tickets in the register is cleared, so that the reissue is required. It is not possible to do this, and the first method may be possible, but even if the first method is used, the technical re-issuance is limited. If the customer or finder later does not use the third method), the store may find that the person who picked up the lost coupon has already exercised the right, even if technically reissueable. Because of this, the risk of double exercise is being pursued, and it cannot be reissued in practice. Thus, no consideration has been given to lost receipts. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-28176 describes a technique in which service points are recorded on a receipt and the receipt is used instead of a point ticket. According to this technique, even if the purchase amount is large, only one receipt is required, so that there is an advantage that it is simpler than the case of a point ticket. However, receipts for each purchase must be kept without loss, which is still troublesome for customers. Further, since the points described for each receipt are different, the total value of the service points is not known, and the value of the service that can be enjoyed is not known. Japanese Patent Application No. 59-27365 (hereinafter referred to as "known example 2") records the total number of services on a magnetic stripe of a paper magnetic card and prints the total number of points on the surface of the magnetic card. Techniques are disclosed. According to this technology, there is an advantage that the stamp-like service score ticket does not have to be stuck on a predetermined mount. However, this magnetic card is a disposable card which is made of paper and has only a fixed number of print columns for printing the total number of points on the back of the card, and is simply used in place of a conventional mount. Therefore, the accumulated points are written on the magnetic stripe of the magnetic card, and the method of using the card of the present invention is presumed to be used semipermanently repeatedly. The usage card number which is the customer identification number to be used is not described. For this reason, even if the customer comes to the store continuously by using the paper magnetic card, there is a problem that the customer information cannot be collected because the customer cannot be identified. Further, when the magnetic card is lost, there is a problem that the total points of the services and the like are all wasted similarly to the service point tickets such as the blue chip and the green stamp. Japanese Patent Application No. 55-47560 (hereinafter referred to as "known example 3") discloses a technique of writing the total purchase amount on a magnetic card of a special standard. However, this technology simply writes the total purchase amount on a special standard magnetic card, writes the total points on the magnetic card, and purchases the magnetic card number used for purchase, the current point and the total points on the receipt It is not a series of technologies that display each time. [0013] Known example 3 relates to the management of the total purchase amount and is not point management. Therefore, the overall point double sale, triple sale, point double sale with limited products, triple sale, etc. Even if an attempt is made to use points that have a high sales promotion effect, it cannot be used in sales promotion because the consistency is not maintained due to the accumulated purchase price. [0014] In addition, the total purchase amount management can only be used for the exchange of prizes, and cannot be used in large stores where prizes cannot be attached on the premise of transactions by the sight chart method. However, since discounts are not regarded as prizes according to the Statute Act, the point of the present invention, which is the discount amount itself, is not subject to the regulation of the Statute Act, and department stores, chain stores, home centers, supermarkets, There is an advantage that it can be adopted also in large stores such as specialty stores and shopping centers. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a receipt capable of solving all the problems of the prior art as described above. The receipt of the present invention is a receipt printed and issued by a POS terminal when a customer purchases a product using a magnetic card on which at least a customer number and cumulative points are magnetically recorded. There is an issue store name column in which the name of the store that issued the receipt is described, a receipt issue number column in which a number identifying the issued receipt is described, and an issue time column in which the issue time at which the receipt is issued is described, A product name column in which the product name of the product purchased this time is described, a purchase amount column in which the purchase amount of each product is described, a total column in which the total purchase amount obtained by adding the purchase amounts is described, and a deposit amount , A purchase amount detail column including a change amount column in which the change amount is described, a current point column in which the current point according to the total purchase amount is described, and a profit when purchasing the product. The total points obtained by adding the current points to the total points up to the previous purchase of the product read out using the information reading function provided in the POS terminal device from the magnetic card for use are described. A point display field including the accumulated point field, and a card number field in which a customer number of a magnetic card used when purchasing a product read using the information reading function provided in the POS terminal device is described. It is characterized by having. According to the present invention, the present point and the accumulated points can be immediately displayed on the receipt together with the use card number, and the customer can immediately see at a glance the purchase amount for a certain period until the present purchase. You can check the total points according to. In other words, the receipt of the present invention can reliably claim the generation of the right to enjoy the service in view of the receipt as a voucher by presenting the magnetic card brought by the person, and the right belongs to whom. Make it clear. Further, in the present invention, if the receipt is lost, not only can the unauthorized use of the third party be avoided as described above, but also the original right holder can legitimately receive the lost receipt. Exercise your rights. That is, in this receipt, it is assumed that the card number is described and the card is present, and the card (and the customer database of the host computer)
Since the total points are described in the card, you can use the card to make an inquiry to reissue the receipt and receive the service of the total points (in this case, the person who picked up the lost receipt will be Since the rights cannot be exercised, there is no risk to the store side even if it is reissued to the true right holder in this way.) Further, the receipt format of the present invention can be commonly used in an unlimited number of stores, and there is no limit to the number of people who can handle the receipt. However, the receipt of the known example 1 can be printed only by the one register, and the customer code is assumed to be set by a human hand. Is 100 at most
It can only be up to about 0 (by the way, the memory of the embodiment also loses its record if the power is turned off,
Only a RAM having a relatively limited capacity is disclosed. ). Further, the present invention is based on the premise that a magnetic card is used. In a system inseparable from the present invention, it is only necessary to provide a POS terminal device and a controller in each store. However, it can be easily introduced, and there is no limit on the number of stores and the number of people who can handle it, so it can be introduced in department stores, chain stores, home centers, supermarkets, specialty stores, shopping centers, etc. having large stores. Accordingly, the receipt enables points to be accumulated at countless different stores that have introduced the above-mentioned system, and that the service corresponding to the points described in the receipt can be received. On the other hand, as is clear from the name of the "electronic cash register" in the publicly known example 1, the "memory having an area for stocking the total value of the number of coupon tickets" only exists in one cash register. Therefore, the number of coupons to be accumulated is limited to shopping purchased at the register. As described above, the present invention and the first known example seem to have commonality in that points or coupons are accumulated or counted on receipts. There is a difference between the effect of whether points at the store or register are accumulated and displayed, and whether the right can be exercised at a plurality of stores. In addition, this receipt has a decisive difference in the sense that it can be used as a voucher in countless stores that have introduced the system where the receipt described in the known example 1 cannot be used. Is what it is. Hereinafter, a receipt according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In explaining the receipt of the present invention,
First, an example of a sales management device that issues a receipt will be described below. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the sales management device. In this device, a POS terminal device 1 provided in each store is connected to a computer 2 via a CTL 3 serving as a controller for connecting a plurality of terminals to the computer 2. The computer 2 is connected to a customer data bank 4 for recording customer information output from the computer 2. When the data amount is small, the customer data bank 4 can also serve the role of the computer 2 or the CTL 3 itself. The POS terminal device 1 provided in each store is
It has a function of reading information written on the magnetic card and a function of writing new information, and also has a calculation function. This calculation function may be built in the POS terminal device itself, or the POS terminal device 1 has the calculation function by connecting the POS terminal device 1 to the computer 2 without having the calculation function. You may let it. In some cases, the POS terminal itself does not have a magnetic card reading and writing function,
A card reader / writer having a card reading / writing function may be connected to the terminal device. Generally, a plurality of POS terminal devices 1 are connected to the CTL 3. Next, a process for displaying the current point and the accumulated points on a receipt received when a customer purchases a product will be described. First, a first-time customer is issued a magnetic card so as to have the customer purchase a product via a magnetic card capable of recording information when visiting the store. In this way, the customer is made to purchase the goods through the card,
When the customer intends to purchase a certain product, he or she is first presented with a card at a cash register, and inserts the card into the POS terminal device 1 described above. In the POS terminal 1, in the case of a customer who has already purchased a product via a card, the accumulated points up to the time of the present purchase are recorded on this card. Read points. However, the reading of the total points recorded on the card by the POS terminal device may be performed after the calculation of the current point, as described later. Next, with the card inserted into the POS terminal 1, the details of the current purchase are entered, and the total key of the POS terminal is pressed. The purchase amount 6 and the total amount 7 are displayed.
The input of the commodity price to the POS terminal may be performed by a reading device that enables automatic reading of a code, or may be performed by pressing a dedicated key.
Further, it may be performed by manually inputting a product code. Next, the POS terminal device is caused to calculate the current point 8 according to the total purchase amount 7 at the time of the current purchase. In order to calculate the current point 8 according to the total purchase amount 7 at the time of this purchase, for example, if the total purchase amount at this time purchase is 2,120 yen, the current point 8 may be 21 points. Next, after reading the accumulated points up to the previous time already written on the card, the current point is added to the accumulated points up to the previous time, and the new accumulated point 9 to which the current point has been added is added to the POS. Calculated by the terminal device 1 and displayed on the receipt 5. As described above, it is preferable that the accumulated points up to the previous point already written on the card be performed immediately after the card is inserted into the POS terminal device 1. May be performed at any step as long as the processing is performed before the addition. The new total point 9 to which the current point 8 has been added in this manner is recorded by newly writing and updating the card using the writing function provided in the POS terminal 1. The new accumulated points 9 are not only written on the card, but also transmitted from the POS terminal 1 to the customer data bank 4 via the CTL 3 and the computer 2 for recording. Next, the receipt 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be further described with reference to FIG. On the receipt 5 of this embodiment, various description columns as shown in FIG. 1 are arranged, and predetermined items are described in each of the description columns. An issuer name column 12 is arranged at the top. The issue store name column 12 describes the name of the store that issued the receipt 12. In the present embodiment, “◎◎ Store” is described.

The purchase of "188" yen of the product "cabbage" of "12", the purchase of "208" yen of the product "tomato" of the product number of "111", ..., the total purchase amount is "2381" yen, and the deposit amount is Is "2501" yen and the change amount is "120" yen. The card number column 2 is located below the purchase amount description column 18.
0 is arranged. In the card number column 20, the customer number of the card used when the customer purchased the product is described. The customer number of this magnetic card is read out by the POS terminal device by the information readout function and temporarily stored in the storage unit. The card number is arbitrarily determined to identify a customer. In the present embodiment, “0104-0000598”
-24 ". Below the card number column 20, a point display column 22 is arranged. The point display column 22 fulfills a cash voucher function which is one of the functions of the receipt of the present embodiment. The point display column 22 includes a current point column 22a in which the current point according to the total purchase amount of the current time is described, and a cumulative point obtained by accumulating service points generated for each predetermined period of time including the current point and up to the time of the current purchase. Is provided in the total point column 22b. In the present embodiment, the point is 1/100 of the purchase amount, so the total point of purchase is 2381 yen, and the current point is “23 points”.
Is described. The total points including the 23 points are described as “581 points”. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the customer can know at a glance the details of the product purchase from the description in the purchase amount description column, and can receive the service (the customer can receive from the description in the point display column). Discounts, gifts, etc.). In addition, since the customer and the purchase record can be specified from the description of each column of the receipt, the receipt can be made to function as a kind of cash voucher by presenting it with a magnetic card, and point tickets are collected and determined as in the past The service point can be issued without imposing a heavy burden on the customer, such as sticking it on a mounted backing sheet. Therefore, by using the receipt of the present embodiment, it is possible to provide a service having a sufficient effect on the fixation of the customer. As described above, in the present invention, in addition to the customer's card number, the present point 8, which corresponds to the purchase amount at the time of purchase,

Has a stamp-printed material such as a blue chip, green stamp, etc. handed to the purchaser at the time of purchase, and a stamp with the stamp-like print obtained at the time of purchase at 9 points. Can be played. Therefore, if the customer sees the receipt 5 received after purchasing the product, the current point 8 and the total point 9 at the time of the current purchase can be understood at a glance,
There is no need to attach stamped printed matter to notebooks. For this reason, the purchase of goods again at a specific store increases the accumulated points, so that he / she does not hesitate to exchange for prizes or to receive a discount. As described above, by using the system according to the present invention, it is possible to fix and demobilize customers. The receipt simply displays the points, and the management of the points is performed by a magnetic card, a computer, and the like. Is effective and advantageous to the customer, and prevents unauthorized use of points. In the present specification, as is apparent from the above, the term "product" means "receiving service". Further, from the point of view of the retail store, it is possible to save the trouble of handing out a stamp-like printed matter such as a blue chip to the customer according to the purchase amount. In addition, it becomes possible to accurately grasp customer information on what kind of product the customer purchased and when, and it becomes easy to take measures for sales promotion. Further, if a credit system is added to the system including the receipt of the present invention, an innovative card system that can be used for cash or credit with one magnetic card can be implemented, and customer information can be grasped more accurately.
