Next, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the checkout device shown in FIG. 1. In this figure, parts corresponding to the respective parts in FIG.
The description is omitted. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 14 denotes a CPU (central processing unit) for controlling each unit of the apparatus, and 15 denotes a ROM (read only memory) in which a control program, character patterns, and the like used in the CPU 14 are stored.

16 is a RAM (random access memory)
As shown in the RAM map of FIG. 3, a work area 16a, a barcode format table 16b,
It is composed of a section file 16c, a PLU (Price Look Up) file 16d, and the like. Work area 16a
Are used for the CPU 14 to perform basic operations and perform calculations, as well as classification of consumption tax for registered goods (for example, “0” for non-taxable goods, “1” for foreign tax goods, A tax flag indicating "2" for a tax-inclusive product, a correction flag set when correcting a registered product, and various registers are temporarily stored.

Bar code format table 16b
Stores a plurality of barcode data formats, as shown in FIG. The first two digits of the barcode data are a flag area, and the format of the barcode data is determined by this value, and the meaning of the barcode data is given. The last digit of the bar code data is a check digit area. The ten digits between the flag area and the check digit area are the data area. In the data area,
“I” is a digit meaning an item code, and “P” is a digit meaning price data. "H" is a digit meaning the date and time of processing of the product, and is a four-digit number representing the total time from 0:00 on January 1 of this year to the date and time of processing of the product. For example, when the processing date and time is 13:00 on January 5th, the total time from 0:00 on January 1 to the processing date and time is 109 hours, and thus the barcode data is “0109”. FIG.
In the example, when the flag is 02, the two-digit item code is a department code, and when the flag is 03, the six-digit item code is a product (PLU) code. The meaning of the value of each flag is stored in the ROM 15 in advance. Naturally, it is assumed that a label on which a barcode created based on the barcode data is printed is pasted on the product in advance, and that the product is displayed on a display shelf at a sales floor.

As shown in FIG. 5, the section file 16c stores, for each section code, an effective period during which the product can be enjoyed,
A discount rate for reducing the price when the expiration date reaches one day before, two days before,... Is stored in advance. The maximum validity period is six months. PLU file 1
6d, as shown in FIG. 6, for each product code, the name of the product, the price, the validity period, one day before the expiration date,
Two days ago, a discount rate or the like for reducing the price when the price reaches... Is stored in advance. In this embodiment, P
Since the LU code requires a large number of digits (six digits in the example of FIG. 6), in the case of the bar code format with the flag of 03, the price data cannot be included in the bar code data. As shown in FIG. 7, price data is stored in the PLU file 16d.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 17 denotes a communication control unit. The checkout device of this embodiment is a master of a POS (Point Of Sales: Point Of Sales) system of a master satellite system, and the CPU 14 uses a polling and selecting system via a communication control unit 17 and an optical fiber 18. It communicates with a satellite (not shown) and, when receiving a department code or PLU code as an inquiry transmitted from the satellite,
The product code corresponding to the department code or the PLU code is read out from the department file 16c or the PLU file 16d in the storage unit 16 and transmitted to the satellites that have made the inquiry, and the department code or the PLU code transmitted from each satellite is read. Various result data such as the sales amount and purchase points according to the above are totaled in a result file (not shown) in the RAM 16.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a scanner communication control unit for controlling communication with the scanner 9, which receives the code data transmitted from the scanner 9 and transfers the code data to the CPU 14. A printer control unit 20 controls the printer 7 based on a print command and print data transferred from the CPU 14. 2

Reference numeral 22 denotes a customer-side display unit control unit, which displays a product name, a selling price, a subtotal amount, and the like on the first customer-side display unit 5 and the second customer-side display unit 11 based on a display command and display data transferred from the CPU 14. indicate.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a clerk side display unit control unit. CPU
Numeral 14 converts display data to be displayed on the display screen of the clerk-side display unit 10 into bit image data, and stores an address VADS of a VRAM, which will be described later, indicating a position to be displayed on the display screen of the clerk-side display unit. After the transfer to the unit 23, the bit image data is transferred to the clerk side display unit control unit 23 continuously for one block. As a result, the clerk-side display control unit 23 sequentially writes the bit image data at the address VADS specified by the CPU 14 in the internal VRAM (video random access memory), and then stores the bit image data from the VRAM. It is read out periodically and displayed on the clerk side display unit 10. 24
Is a clock with a calendar function, which outputs date data and time data. Reference numeral 25 denotes a buzzer that emits a warning tone of a predetermined tone.

Next, the registration process of the CPU 14 will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the clerk causes the barcode reading surface 9a of the scanner 9 to read the barcode of the product, the CPU 14 proceeds to step SP1 in FIG. In step SP1, the barcode data corresponding to the barcode read by the scanner 9 is stored in the RAM.
After storing in a predetermined register of the 16 work areas 16a, the process proceeds to step SP2.

In step SP2, it is determined whether or not the first two digits of the bar code data stored in the register of the work area 16a in the process of step SP1, that is, whether or not the flag is 02. If this determination is "YES", the flow proceeds to step SP3. In step SP3, FIG.
With reference to the barcode format table 16b shown in FIG. 7, the barcode format whose flag is 02 is read, and price data is read from the barcode data stored in the register of the work area 16a based on this barcode format. Further, the CPU 14 regards the two-digit item code of the barcode data as a department code and reads out the name, the validity period, and the respective discount rates of the corresponding department data from the department file 16c shown in FIG.
Proceed to step SP6.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step SP2 is "NO", that is, if the flag is not 02, the process proceeds to a step SP4. In step SP4, it is determined whether or not the flag is 03. The result of this determination is “Y
In the case of "ES", the process proceeds to step SP5. Step S
At P5, the barcode format whose flag is 03 is read out with reference to the barcode format table 16b shown in FIG. 4, and the two-digit item code of the barcode data is converted to PLU based on this barcode format.
After reading the name, price, validity period, and discount rate of the corresponding PLU data from the PLU file 16d shown in FIG. 6 assuming that the code is a code, the process proceeds to step SP6.

At step SP6, the current date and time data and time data are read from the clock 24, and then the operation proceeds to step SP7. In step SP7, based on the barcode format read in the processing in step SP3 or SP5, the processing date / time data is read from the barcode data stored in the register of the work area 16a, and converted into month / day / time data. Next, after adding the validity period read in the processing of step SP3 or SP5 to the converted date data, the result of the addition is compared with the current date and time to determine whether or not the expiration date has expired. I do.
If the determination is "YES", the process proceeds to step SP8.
Proceed to. In step SP8, the buzzer 25 sounds and an alarm is issued, and the clerk-side display unit 10 displays, for example, a message "Expired!"
A series of processing ends.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step SP7 is "NO", that is, if the expiration date is not expired, the process proceeds to a step SP9. In step SP9, similarly to the processing in step SP7, step SP3 or SP
Based on the barcode format read in the process of 5, the processing date / time data is read from the barcode data stored in the register of the work area 16a and converted into date / month / time data. Next, after adding the expiration date read in the processing of step SP3 or SP5 to the converted date data, the result of the addition is compared with the current date and time, and the number of days before the expiration date of today is expired. Is determined. Then, it is determined whether or not the same number of days as the determined number of days before the expiration date is included in the number of days corresponding to each discount rate read in the processing of step SP3 or SP5. If this determination is "YES", the flow proceeds to step SP10.

In step SP10, the price read in the processing in step SP3 or SP5 and the price read in step SP3.
The discount rate is obtained by multiplying by the discount rate obtained in the process of No. 9.
After calculating the sales price by subtracting the obtained discount from the price,
Proceed to step SP11. On the other hand, if the decision result in the step SP9 is "NO", that is, if today is sufficiently before the expiration date and there is no need to discount the product, the process proceeds to the step SP11 without doing anything.

In step SP11, the name, price, etc. of the product are displayed on the display unit 10 on the clerk side and the display unit on the second customer side, and the printer 7 is printed on receipt paper. Is added to the total purchase price of the customer to register the product, and then a series of processing ends. For the total purchase price, for example,
The information may be temporarily stored in a predetermined register in the work area 16a of the RAM 16.

The result of the determination in step SP4 is "N
If "O", that is, if the flag is neither 02 nor 03, the process proceeds to step SP12. Step SP12
Then, after performing other conventional registration processing, the example processing ends. For the operation of the checkout apparatus according to the above-described embodiment other than the above-described registration processing, refer to the specification and drawings attached to Japanese Patent Application No. 4-319072 (JP-A-7-175974). I want to.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and changes in the design and the like can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. The present invention is also included in the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the barcode formats of the flags 02 and 03 are stored in the barcode format table 16b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may. With this configuration, even if a product to which a barcode in a barcode format including the processing date and time data according to the present embodiment is added and a conventional product are mixed on the same display shelf, a problem may not occur. Absent. Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the discount rate is stored in the section file 16c and the PLU file 16d has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. In short, it is only necessary that the degree of discount can be determined stepwise according to the degree near the expiration date, and for example, a discount value may be used instead of the discount rate.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the validity period of the product and the setting period of the discount rate are set on a daily basis, and the expiration date is determined (step SP in FIG. 7).
7) and judgment of discount target (step SP9 in FIG. 7)
Has been described on a daily basis, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these may be performed on a time basis. With such a configuration, more detailed expiration date management can be performed, and the amount of commodities to be discarded after the expiration date can be reduced.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the barcode represents the item code and the processing date and time data (and the price data when the item code is the department code) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of the processing date and time data, it is possible to use the expiration date and time data indicating the expiration date and time of the product. In this case, the expiration date and time data is
Similar to the processing date and time data, it is a 4-digit number, January 1 of this year 0
It is represented by the total time from the time to the expiration date of the product.

With this configuration, the section file 16
c and the PLU file 16d do not need to store the validity period data of the product and the product belonging to the department. In the registration processing routine shown in FIG. 7, the expiration date is determined (step SP7 in FIG. 7) and the discount target In the determination (step SP9 in FIG. 7), it is not necessary to calculate the processing date and the expiration date.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the present invention is applied to a master of a POS system of a master satellite system. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to a department file 16c and a PLU file 16d. The present invention may be applied to a satellite of the POS system which does not have the above, and may be configured to appropriately inquire and receive the master at the time of merchandise registration, etc., for the merchandise data stored in the department file 16c and the PLU file 16d of the master.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the present invention is applied to a checkout device. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Any object can be used. Further, if the present invention is applied to a handy terminal with a scanner, and the handy terminal scans a bar code affixed to a product on a display shelf, it is possible to find out a product whose expiration date has expired before it is sold and remove it.

As described above, according to the first and fourth aspects of the present invention, even when the number of digits of the bar code is small,
Data that indicates the expiration date can be recorded, and simply letting the scanner read the barcode attached to the product to register for sale determines whether the expiration date has expired and informs the clerk of that fact. In addition, a product whose expiration date has not expired is not accidentally sold, and the expiration date of the product can be managed without burdening the clerk.

According to the second and fifth aspects of the present invention, when a product near the expiration date is registered for sale, a discount according to the date and time until the expiration date is reached is automatically performed. As described above, there is no need to attach a label with a price discounted from the normal price in advance to a product near the expiration date and to manually perform a discount operation at the time of sales registration, thereby saving labor. For this reason, with respect to such products whose expiration date is near expiration, they are displayed as discount-appropriate products only in the vicinity of the display shelf, and the number of products to be discarded due to expiration can be reduced.

Further, according to the third and sixth aspects of the present invention, the processing period or the expiration date is set to a predetermined date and time.
It can be recorded as a barcode in the total time from the beginning, and even if the number of digits of the barcode is small, such as a 13-digit JAN code often used for food, the processing period or the expiration date period can be processed in units of hours. For this reason, it is possible to finely determine the expiration date or the near expiration date in units of time. In addition, according to the inventions according to claims 4 to 6, compared to the inventions according to claims 1 to 3, storage means for storing data relating to the expiration date becomes unnecessary, and the judgment by the judgment means becomes easier. .
