DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sales data processor for a gas station handled by a plurality of persons.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a sales data processing apparatus is widely used for transfer of cash, but conventionally, a specific individual uses one apparatus at a specific time. For example, when a plurality of workers transfer and receive cash at a gas station such as a gas station, for example, a responsible person may be specified, but if several people use one sales data processing device, any trouble will occur. Easy to cause. for that reason,
It is sufficient to install the number of sales data processing devices corresponding to the number of people, but it is not practical to provide a plurality of sales data processing devices in terms of cost and space.

On the other hand, in a refueling station, an outdoor sales data processing device is provided near a refueling work position, that is, near a refueling machine, in order to improve a refueling work efficiency. Money can be exchanged without refining, and the refueling work efficiency is improved. In such a case, it has not been possible to manage individuals individually. For example, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 58-192196 discloses a cash register having a plurality of drawers. However, in this known technique, since each drawer is unlocked with a unique key, several people handle one cash register, and there is a cashier dedicated to cash registers, and the cashier operates cash registers for several hours continuously. Then it is effective. However, when a single sales data processor is handled by several workers, such as a gas station, and the workers have to handle refueling work and the sales data processor alternately, the sales data processor is used. Locking with a key every time it is handled is extremely troublesome.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sales data processing apparatus for a gas station which can safely and reliably manage the transfer of cash by a plurality of persons and can efficiently perform refueling work. To be.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a card reader for reading a card given to an operator, a plurality of check boxes having a lock device, and a sales card based on a card read signal received from the card reader are provided. A sales data processing device for a gas station provided with a control device for processing data and releasing a lock device of the cash register box,
The controller stores the relationship between the card and the check box, and the controller displays the weighing machine in use when the operator reads his / her card with the card reader, and the operator starts the operation.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a gas station for carrying out the present invention. In a site A of the gas station, two oil tankers 1 and 2 are installed on an island I. In the illustrated example, these refueling machines 1 and 2 are of a well-known double type, and a weighing machine 1a (No. 1) of the refueling machine 1 uses regular gasoline and a weighing machine 1b.
(No. 2) can refuel high-octane gasoline, and the weighing machine 2a (No. 3) of the refueling machine 2 refuels regular gasoline, and the weighing machine 2b (No. 4) refuels high-octane gasoline. As shown in FIG. 2, a sales data processing device 3 embodying the present invention is erected on the island. On the other hand, the office O is provided with an indoor sales data processing device, so-called POS5. The POS 5, a control device (not shown) of the refueling machine 1, 2 and a control device C (see FIG. 3) of the sales data processing device 3 described later are connected by a line L.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a front view of a sales data processing device 3 embodying the present invention.

L, ten keys 11, operation switches (function keys) such as a start switch SW 1, a settlement switch SW 2, and a setting switch SW 3, a card reader 12, a printer 13, and a plurality (four in the illustrated example) of register boxes R 1. , R2, R3 and R4 are provided so as to be able to be pulled out, and the respective check boxes are provided with locking devices 14a to 14
Locked by d.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a block diagram implemented in the sales data processing device 3. The operation thereof will be described later. The control device C includes a touch key 10, a ten key 11, a card reader provided on a display D. 12 and other function keys SW1, SW2, SW3, and a known control device (shown as a refueling machine in FIG. 3) provided in the weighing machine 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, and a signal in a known manner with the POS5. And sends signals to the display D, the printer 13, and the lock devices 14a to 14d of the check box. Then, signals are exchanged with the memory M.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the storage contents stored in the memory M.

That is, each check box R is stored in the memory M.
1, R2, R3, and R4, the "card number" of the worker at each check box, the "start time" at which the worker started refueling work, and the "change amount" previously entered for each check box. For each refueling operation, the addition “refueling frequency”, “refueling amount”, and “current amount” in the check box are stored. Note that the illustrated example is an example of three workers, and the cash register box R3 is not used.

The above-mentioned "card No." and "change amount" are rewritten by operating the numeric keypad. The "number of times of refueling", "refueling amount" and "current amount" issue a slip as described later. After the cash register is opened, addition or settlement is performed by a signal from the control device C.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, the register box registration process will be described. First, the worker reads his / her own card (NO. 203) with the card reader 12 (step S1). Then, the display shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display D (step S).
2). In the upper display example, “1 regular” and “4 light oil” are currently in use, and “2 high oct” and “3 regular” are unused. In the display example below, the numbers enclosed in squares are the numbers of the weighing machines (Units 1 to 4).
And the numbers on the right side thereof indicate the check boxes (R1 to R4) having unprocessed data. The unprocessed data is stored in the control device C and the memory M between the time when the control device C finishes the refueling operation after the worker puts the fueling nozzle on the nozzle hook and the time when the slip is issued, as described later. Data, which is usually a worker's round trip time and operating time between the weighing machine and the sales data processing device 3. For example, when the car is washed immediately after refueling, the worker's memory is recalled. It is suitable for

Although all the unprocessed data is displayed in the example of FIG. 6, the unprocessed data of only the read card may be displayed.

After the display shown in FIG. 6, the control device determines whether or not a weighing machine has been selected (step S3), and in the case of NO, whether or not refueling data has been selected (step S4). Is determined, and if NO, the start switch SW1
Is determined (step S5), and if NO, it is determined whether the settlement switch SW2 is pressed (step S5).
6) is determined, and if NO, the process returns to step S2.

Then, the worker (card No. 203)
Presses the start switch SW1 (YE in step S5).
S). The operation of YES in step S5 is a refueling start process, in which the worker is registered.

If step S5 is YES, the controller C
Gives the display shown in FIG. That is, the date and start time, and the card number of the worker. Is displayed. And the check box NO. , Change amount, number of refueling, refueling amount, and current amount are blank since this is the first time. Therefore, the worker operates the ten key 11 to check the check box N
O. R2 and the change amount (for example, 20,000 yen) to be put into the cashier are input (step S8), and then the setting switch SW3 is pressed (step S9). Then, the control device C operates the lock device 1 of the check box R2.
4b is released, and the above data is stored as shown in FIG. 4 (step S10). Then, the worker puts the change into the check box R2. Thus, the start process ends.

Next, the refueling operation will be described. To refuel high-octane gasoline from the second unit 1b, the operator reads the card (step S1) and displays the display of FIG. . So in order to select a weighing machine,
Press the "2 high oct" of the touch key 10 (step S3
YES), and presses the setting switch SW1 (step S1).
1). Then, the control device C outputs a movable signal to the selected weighing machine No. 2 1b, memorizes that the fuel is being refueled, erases the square mark around “2 high oct” in FIG. The fact that 1b is in use is displayed (step S12).

In this way, the worker supplies high-octane gasoline with the second unit 1b. And after refueling work is over,
Hang the nozzle on the nozzle hook. Then, the control device of the weighing machine 1b inputs the refueling data to the control device C (step S13). As a result, the control device C stores the refueling data, shows a surrounding square display indicating that “2 high oct” is unused in the upper part of FIG. 6, and the lower unprocessed data is the worker's check box. Regarding R2, "R2" is displayed at "2" which is the second machine (step S1).
4).

When the refueling operation is completed in this way, the worker reads his / her own card again with the card reader 12 (step S1), and "R2" is shown at "2" in FIG. The display is displayed on the display D. Therefore, this time, the user touches “R2” of “2” with unprocessed data (step S4), and performs processing of the slip. Then, the display D displays FIG. 8 (step S15). FIG. 8 shows that the metering machine 1b has been refueled, that is, the No. 2 machine, the oil type, the refueling amount, the unit price, the amount, the consumption tax, and the total amount. Then, when the worker presses the setting switch SW1 (step S1).
6) The control device C releases the lock device 14b of the cashier box R2 of the worker, issues a slip from the printer 13, sends the refueling data to the POS 5, and also refuels the memory M with the number of refueling, the refueling amount, and the current value The amount (see FIG. 4) is added to the check box R2 (step S17).
In step S17, unprocessed data is erased. Then, the worker receives the cash from the customer, gives the change, closes the cashier box R2, and ends the work.

In this manner, the worker (NO. 203)
Work until a predetermined time and exchange with another worker. In this case, the following settlement process is performed.

That is, the worker first reads his / her card into the card reader 12 in the settlement process (step S1), and obtains the display shown in FIG. 6 (step S2). Then, the worker presses the settlement switch SW3 (step S6). Then, the display D displays FIG. 9 (step S18). That is, the date, time for settlement, and the card number of the worker are displayed on the display D. , Check box NO. ,
The change amount, the number of times of refueling, the amount of refueling, and the current amount are displayed. The operator checks the table shown in FIG. 9 and presses the setting switch SW3 (step S19). Then, the control device C releases the lock 14b of the check box R2, prints out the displayed totaling slip from the printer 13, and sends the data to the POS 5 (step S20). If the worker only wants to see the situation during work, he presses the clear key CL (step S).
21). That is, step S21 is for confirming the sales of the user.

In this way, the sales proceeds are brought to the office, predetermined processing is performed, and the worker finishes the work. Then, the next worker performs the above operation in the same manner.
