Description

The present invention relates to a portable terminal device having a slip issuing function.

(Prior Art) FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a conventional general portable terminal. The portable terminal 21 includes a control unit 24, a memory 25,
It consists of a printer 26, a transmission interface 27, etc., and at a business office or the like, customer master information, product name master information, etc. of the salesman's area of responsibility are received in advance from the host device 22 via the cable 23 and stored in the memory 25. Keep it. After that, the salesman goes around the customer with this terminal,
At the same time as using this master information, a voucher for delivery, payment, etc. is issued, and at the same time, data for delivery, payment, etc. is stored in the terminal, and after returning to the sales office, the data is transmitted to the host device.

FIG. 4 shows the structure of conventional customer master information, which is composed of a customer code 11 and a customer name 12.

The slip issued locally is, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 5 (a). In this example, one page of the slip consists of 5 items (5 rows).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, depending on the customer, clerical processing cannot be performed with the slip issued by this terminal {for example, the one shown in FIG. 5 (a)}, and the customer-specific format {for example, , FIG. 5 (b) format} is required in many cases.

In such a case, generally, a method of temporarily issuing the slip of FIG. 5 (a) at this terminal and transferring or re-entering the designated slip of FIG. It will be unavoidable.

However, in general, there are various differences in format between the standard slips of the terminal (FIG. 5A) and the customer specified slips of FIG. In this case, since the page transitions are different when transcribing or re-entering, errors such as missing or duplication of items are likely to occur and the efficiency of clerical work is significantly impaired.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a terminal device that can easily transfer or re-enter a designated slip and reduce errors.

(Means for Solving Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an area for the number of items for each customer (the number of designated slips) in the customer master information, and refers to this when issuing a slip. Then, the page of the slip is switched.

(Operation) Therefore, according to the present invention, the page of the slip is changed by the number of lines specified for each customer, and the slip work in a format close to the exclusive slip of the customer can be performed, so that the post or re-input is performed later. In this case, it is very easy to work and has the effect of reducing errors.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.

In the block diagram of the customer master information in FIG. 1, 11 is a customer code, 12 is a customer name, and 13 is the number of items (the number of lines) per page of a slip specified for each customer.

That is, a record that the number of items is 13 is added as compared with the conventional example (FIG. 4).

This number of items is input and registered in advance in the host device 22 of FIG. 2 as a part of the customer master information.

In FIG. 2, this customer master information is stored in advance in the memory 25 of the portable terminal 21 from the host device 22 via the cable 23.

The salesman uses this portable terminal 21 as a host device 22
Take it away and carry it with you to visit a customer. When a customer inputs a customer code when issuing a voucher, the control unit 24 of the terminal retrieves the corresponding customer master information stored in the memory 25 and prints the customer name on the printer 26.
The number of designated items in the same master information is read from the memory 25 at the same time as being displayed / printed on. Then, when the salesman counts the number of items input one after another, and when the number of specified items is reached, even if the standard terminal slip is not full by one page, the paper feed control of the slip is performed and the page is fed. Replace.

Similarly, for the next page, the page is changed when the specified number of items is reached. In this way, the page of the slip is changed according to the number of items specified in the customer master information.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 24 that performs these controls typically includes a microprocessor 28 and a ROM (fixed memory) or a RAM (variable memory) that stores a control method.

For customers who do not specify the number of items,
If the number of items 13 in the customer master information in the figure is blank for all digits or has a specific content such as 0 or 9, it can be easily discriminated by the control unit.

Although the above description has described a portable terminal having a printer, even in a terminal which does not have a printer and is connected to a separate printer to issue a slip, the page change control information is stored and held in the memory 25, and the page change control information is stored at the time of printing. By adopting the reference method, it is possible to deal with each customer individually, reduce errors, and improve office efficiency.

Further, the present invention can be applied not only to portable terminals but also to stationary terminals.

(Effects of the Invention) As is apparent from the above-described embodiment, the present invention has the advantage that by adding information on the number of items to the customer master information, it is possible to change pages with the number of rows according to the customer at the time of issuing the slip. Have. Therefore, when posting or re-entering on the customer's dedicated slip based on this slip, the work is very easy and there is an effect that errors are reduced.
