DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sales registration device having a security function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a sales registration device, for example, a POS (Point of Sales) terminal device or a register introduced in a store or the like, sales registration of a product purchased by the customer is performed and the customer registers with the customer. The exchange of money and change is carried out between, and the money received at that time is stored in a drawer. And when they are absent at night, they lock the drawer.

[0003]

[SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in such a conventional apparatus, there is a risk of or drawer is is pry-open money stolen between night.

[0004] Accordingly the present invention, when there may be pry-open is drawer between the night, and an object thereof is to provide a sales registration apparatus can inform sounded an alarm.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a sales registration device for registering sales information of a product purchased by a customer through an input operation of an operation unit and storing money received from the customer in a drawer. drawer and lighting sensors, a drawer detection means for detecting the opening of the drawer, Oite in case it is detected that the ambient illumination is turned off by the lighting sensor, the drawer detection means for detecting that but was extinguished Alarm means for issuing an alarm by a buzzer or the like when the opening of the camera is detected or the operation of the operation unit is performed.

[0006]

[Action] In the present invention having such a configuration, when the illumination location sales registration device is installed is turned off is detected by the illumination sensor, crime prevention operation is performed.

At this time, if the opening of the drawer is detected by the drawer detection means, an alarm is issued by a buzzer or the like by the alarm means. Also, when an operation of the operation section is performed, an alarm by a buzzer or the like is issued by the alarm means. Done.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a POS terminal device.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a CPU (central processing means) constituting a control unit main body. A ROM (read only memory) 2 in which program data of the processing performed by the CPU 1 is stored, and a RAM (random access memory) 3 in which various memory areas used when the CPU 1 performs processing are formed. , Are connected to the CPU 1 via a system bus 4. In the RAM 3,
An automatic security setting area 3a for setting an automatic security set is provided. The clock circuit 5 supplies time data to the CPU 1 via the system bus 4.

A scanner I / F (interface) 7 to which a scanner 6 for reading a bar code or the like attached to a product is connected, as an illumination sensor for outputting an OFF signal when the area around the POS terminal is not illuminated. A sensor I / F 10 to which a photo sensor 8 and a drawer sensor 9 as a drawer detecting means for detecting whether or not the drawer is open are respectively connected, and a CRT display for displaying a product name or a price of a product purchased by a customer. (CR
T) a display I / F 12 to which an 11 is connected, and a printing unit I / F to which an R / J (receipt / journal) printing unit 13 is connected.
Reference numeral 14 is connected to the CPU 1 via the system bus 4.

A total key 15a for declaring the end of the sales business of one customer, a key switch 15b having a key position such as "stop" or "register" and a numeric keypad 15 for inputting numerical values and the like.
c, a keyboard I / F 16 to which a keyboard 15 provided with various keys such as a CR key 15d for canceling input numerical values and the like is also connected to the CPU 1 via the system bus 4. Also, a buzzer 17 that directly generates an alarm sound according to a control signal from the CPU 1 is provided.
It is connected to the system bus 4. FIG.
4 shows a flowchart of a main part process performed by U1. First, it is determined whether an automatic security set is set in the automatic security setting area 3a formed in the RAM 3.

If the automatic security set is not set, the sales operation is executed. When the sales operation is completed by the total key 15a, the key switch 1 is activated.
5b is moved to the "stop" position, and it is determined whether or not a preset password has been input using the numeric keypad 15c (security execution instruction means). At this time, the key switch 15b
Moves to the "stop" position and if the password is not input by the numeric keypad 15c, the process returns to the beginning of the main process.

If an automatic security set is set in the automatic security setting area 3a, the photo sensor 8
It is determined whether the F signal is output. If the photo sensor 8 does not output an OFF signal, the above-described sales operation is executed.

When the key switch 15b moves to the "stop" position and it is determined that the password has been input by the numeric keypad 15c, or when it is determined that the OFF signal has been output from the photo sensor 8, the keyboard 15 Determine whether there is a key input. If there is no key input, it is determined whether the drawer sensor 9 has detected that the drawer is open. When a key input is made on the keyboard 15 or the drawer sensor 9 detects that the drawer is open, an alarm sound is generated by the buzzer 17 (warning means). This alarm sound is continued until the CR key 15d is keyed. When the buzzer 17 is stopped by the key input of the CR key 15d, the main process is terminated. If there is no key input on the keyboard 15 and the drawer sensor 9 does not detect the opening of the drawer, it is determined whether or not the key switch 15b has been operated. Here, when the key switch 15b is operated, the main process is terminated. If the key switch 15b is not operated, the process returns to the process of determining whether or not there is a key input on the keyboard 15 again. It has become.

In this embodiment having such a configuration, if an automatic security set is set in advance, the photo sensor 8 detects when the lighting in the store is turned off, and the security function automatically operates, and the keyboard is activated. If the user touches 15 or opens the drawer, an alarm is sounded by the buzzer 17.

Even if the automatic security set has not been set, if the key switch 15b is moved to the "stop" position and a password is entered using the numeric keypad 15c,
When the security function is activated and the keyboard 15 is touched or the drawer is opened, an alarm is sounded by the buzzer 17.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the light is turned off when the automatic security set is set, or when the password is input with the key switch 15b at the "stop" position, a key input is made on the keyboard 15. Or
When the drawer is opened, a buzzer sounds an alarm sound, so that the POS terminal device can have a security function.

Therefore, if the operator moves the key switch 15b to the "stop" position and inputs a password when the operator leaves the carrying place for a short time, an incorrect key operation is performed or the drawer is opened during that time. Then, if the automatic security set is set, the alarm can be sounded and the alarm can be sounded when the drawer is opened after the lighting is turned off at night.

[0019]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention ,
If there is the drawer is pry-open between night can provide a sales registration apparatus can inform sounded an alarm.
