Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment,
An example in which the present invention is applied to an ECR or POS terminal device will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an external configuration of a sales data registration device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, a customer side display 1 and a clerk side display 2 are configured by a liquid crystal display as an example, and display a subtotal amount or the like at the time of product registration processing. In addition, the clerk side display 2
On the top, a touch panel 3 is provided. The touch panel 3 is operated at the time of preset key registration, various file settings, report creation, maintenance, and the like.

The keyboard 4 is used for inputting numbers and characters, the printer 5 prints and issues receipts, and the drawer 6 stores bills and coins. The mode switching key 7
Is for switching the operation mode of the present apparatus to a “setting mode” for performing various settings and a “registration mode” for performing product registration.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of an electrical configuration of the sales data registration device shown in FIG. In this figure, parts corresponding to the respective parts in FIG.
The description is omitted. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a CPU (central processing unit) that controls each unit of the apparatus, and 11 denotes a ROM (read only memory) in which a control program, character patterns, and the like used in the CPU 10 are stored.

A RAM (random access memory)
12, a working area, a system flag area, a department file, a main group file, and a product file are allocated to the RAM 12, as shown in the RAM map of FIG. In this figure, the working area is ROM1
1 includes an area for loading a control program and an area for storing a flag, a register, and the like for temporarily storing data during execution of the control program. The system flag area is an area for setting and storing various specifications of the apparatus.

Next, before describing the section file, the main group file, and the product file, the classification configuration of the products handled by the present apparatus will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the classification configuration of the products. As shown in this figure,
Each product is first classified into one of the categories (food,
Clothing, miscellaneous goods, etc.). Then, each product is further subdivided in the above section,
It is classified into any of the main groups (for food, potato chips, chocolate, gum, etc.). As a result, each product always belongs to one of the departments and the main group.

The department file (not shown) is
A department code, a department name, and a result are stored for each department.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the main group file contains, for each main group, a main group code, a main group name, a classification unit price, a discount / discount,
Stores discount flags, department codes, and results. In this figure, the classification unit price is a value for changing the unit price of the corresponding product to the classification unit price when a numeral other than “0” (that is, a significant numeral) is set in the column. The discount / discount is a value for discounting or discounting from the unit price (or classification unit price) of the product. The discount flag is a flag for setting whether the processing based on the discount / discount is a discount or a discount. In the present embodiment, as an example, the discount is performed when the discount flag is “0”, and “
The discount is given if the value is other than 0 ". The section code indicates the section to which the main group belongs. The result is the cumulative value of the registration results of the main group.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the product file stores a product code, a product name, a unit price, a main group code, a flag, and an actual result for each product. In this figure, the main group code indicates the main group to which the product belongs. The flag is a flag for prohibiting the unit price of the corresponding product from being changed to the classification unit price (the classification unit price stored in the main group file).
In the present embodiment, as an example, when the flag is “1”, the change to the classification unit price is prohibited, and when the flag is other than “1”, the change to the classification unit price is permitted. In the product file shown in FIG. 6, the unit price of the potato chip curry is 150 yen, and this unit is different in unit price from the other two products (potato chip shio and potato chip barbecue). For this reason, although the potato chip curry is in the same classification as the above two products, it cannot be set to the same classification unit price at the time of service, and "1" is set as the flag. Also,
The result is a cumulative value of the registration result of the product.

In the system flag area (see FIG. 3) in the RAM 12, a flag (hereinafter, referred to as a "system flag") for permitting further discount or discount for the unit price changed to the classified unit price. "). In the present embodiment, as an example, when the system flag is “1”, a discount /
Discount is permitted, and if it is other than "1", discount / discount on the classification unit price is prohibited.

In FIG. 2, a touch panel 3 and a keyboard 4 are connected to a CPU 1 via a key control unit 13.
0 is connected. The barcode scanner 14 reads code data corresponding to the barcode by scanning a barcode printed portion of the product. When the communication device 15 is used as a master device, the communication device 15 forms a master / satellite system by performing communication using a token ring method with a slave device connected to the communication device 15.

Next, the operation of the sales data registration device having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the sales data registration device. In the flowchart shown in this figure, it is assumed that the department file, the main group file (see FIG. 5) and the product file (see FIG. 6) have already been set in the “setting mode” as initial conditions. Then, the operator uses the mode switching key 7 to change the operation mode of the apparatus to “registration mode”.
Then, when the customer brings one or a plurality of products to the cash register, the present apparatus performs a product registration operation shown in FIG. 7 for each of the products.

First, in step S1, after entering a product code, the process proceeds to step S2. Here, as a method of inputting the product code, for example, a method of reading a barcode printed on the product using the barcode scanner 14 or a method of directly inputting the product code using the keyboard 4 by the operator using the keyboard 4 Etc.

In step S2, the CPU 10 searches the product file (see FIG. 6) and reads the product data corresponding to the product code input in step S1 from the product file into the register of the CPU 10. Furthermore, CPU
10 retrieves the main group file (see FIG. 5), reads the main group data corresponding to the main group code in the product data previously read into the register from the main group file into the register of the CPU 10, and proceeds to step S3. move on.

In step S3, it is determined whether or not the flag in the product data read in step S2 is "1". If the determination result is “NO”, it is determined that the unit price change to the classified unit price has been permitted, and step S4
Proceed to.

In step S4, it is determined whether or not the classification unit price in the main group data read in step S2 is "0". If the result of this determination is "NO", it is determined that the classification unit price is valid data, and the flow proceeds to step S5.

In step S5, the unit price in the commodity data read in step S2 is changed to the classification unit price in the main group data read in step S2, and the flow advances to step S6.

In step S6, the system flag set in the system flag area (see FIG. 3) is "1".
Is determined. If the result of this determination is "NO", the unit price changed to the classification unit price in step S5 is directly determined as the registration unit price, and the process proceeds to step S8.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S6 is "YE
In the case of "S", that is, when the system flag is "1", it is determined that the classification discount or the classification discount for the unit price changed to the classification unit price is permitted, and the process proceeds to step S7.

In step S7, a value obtained by discounting or discounting the unit price changed to the classification unit price in step S5 is determined as a registration unit price, and the process proceeds to step S8. In addition,
As is clear from the content of the discount / discount processing described below, the value of the discount / discount in the main group data is "".
In the case of “0”, the unit price does not change even if the discount / discount processing is performed.In other words, unless the discount / discount is set to a value other than “0”, the discount / discount processing is not performed. In addition, when determining the registration unit price, the determination as to whether to perform the discount or the discount is made based on the value of the discount flag in the main group data read in step S2. That is, when the discount flag is "0", the registration unit price is obtained by subtracting the discount / discount in the main group data read in step S2 from the unit price changed to the classification unit price in step S5. If the discount flag is not “0”, the unit price changed to the classification unit price in step S5 is (classification unit price) × {(discount / discount) / 100} = (discount amount). Calculate the discount amount by performing the calculation, and The registration unit price is obtained by subtracting the discount amount from the class unit price.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S3 is "YE
S ", that is, if the flag in the product data read in step S2 is" 1 ", the process proceeds to step S2.
Go to 9. Similarly, the determination result of step S4 is “YE
In the case of "S", that is, also when the classification unit price in the main group data read in step S2 is "0", the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, a value obtained by discounting or discounting the unit price in the product data read in step S2 is determined as a registration unit price, and the process proceeds to step S8. As in step S7, when the discount / discount value in the main group data is "0", the unit price does not change even if the discount / discount processing described below is performed. That is,
Unless a value other than “0” is set in the discount / discount, the discount / discount processing is not performed. Further, when determining the registration unit price, whether to perform discount or discount is determined in step S2 in the same manner as in step S7.
This is performed based on the value of the discount flag in the main group data read in step (1). That is, the discount flag is "0".
In the case of (3), the unit price in the main group data read in step S2 is subtracted from the unit price in the product data read in step S2 to obtain a registration unit price. If the discount flag is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S
With respect to the unit price in the product data read in step 2, the unit calculates (unit price) × {(discount / discount) / 100} = (discount amount) to calculate the discount amount, and calculates the discount amount from the unit price. Subtract to find the unit price.

In step S8, the registration unit price obtained by the above operation is displayed on the customer display 1 and the clerk display 2 together with the product name, and printed on the receipt using the printer 5. Then, the registration unit price is added to the total purchase price (not shown) of the customer. Further, a product file (see FIG. 6)
And the result in the corresponding main group data of the main group file (see FIG. 5) is updated. Thus, the product registration operation for one product ends. If there are a plurality of products brought by the customer to the cash register, the operation shown in FIG.
Perform product registration for all products. This is the end of the description of the operation of the sales data registration device having the above configuration.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and a design change or the like may be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. Even if there is, it is included in the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a unit price change, a discount,
An example has been shown in which the allowance / prohibition of discounts is determined based on significant figures (numbers other than "0") and flags.
Current mode and keyboard 4 (or touch panel 3)
The determination may be made based on the above operation. Alternatively, date and time data may be set in advance, and when the time data of a built-in clock IC (not shown) matches the set value, a unit price change, a discount, or a discount may be performed. Further, the permission / prohibition of the unit price change and the discount / discount may be determined based on the purchase result data of the customer.

In the above embodiment, the RAM 1
2 describes a device having a department file, a main group file, and a product file (that is, a parent device). However, the present invention provides an apparatus that accesses the above-described files in the parent device and registers the product each time a product is registered. (I.e., the child device). Further, the slave unit does not access each of the above files, and transmits only the product code to the master unit. The master unit obtains a registration unit price according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, and transmits only the registration unit price to the slave unit. You may.

Further, in the above embodiment, the present invention
Alternatively, the case where the present invention is applied to a POS terminal device has been described. However, if the price of a product is calculated by multiplying the calculated registration unit price by a weighing value, the present invention can be applied to a toll scale. is there.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, each product is classified into two stages of a department and a main group. However, the classification structure of the product is not limited to this. It is conceivable to provide a subgroup obtained by further subdividing the main group below.
As a result, the classification unit price can be changed on a subgroup basis, so that the number of exceptional products that belong to the same main group but are not applied with the classification unit price is reduced, which is more practical.

Further, in the above embodiment, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, typical services such as unit price change and discount / discount will be described as an example, and the description of bargain sale, mix match and other discount services will be omitted. Although omitted, it goes without saying that the present invention may be applied to these services.

Next, the correspondence between each means described in the claims and this embodiment will be described. First storage means ... Product file Second storage means ... Main group file Third storage means ... System flag area selection means ... CPU 10

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, by setting a plurality of commodities having the same unit price or close unit prices but differing in detail from each other into the same classification, these commodities can be simplified. Not only can you set the same unit price, you can also change the selling price collectively.
Therefore, even when these products are collectively set as various types of affordable featured products, the setting operation is greatly simplified. Also, after the service period is over, even in the operation of returning to the original unit price, the original unit price of each product is not lost, so that the operation can be easily performed. Further, unlike the conventional special sale file, there is no need to newly store the product code, so that the storage area can be saved.

Further, according to the present invention , a product with a uniform unit price (that is, a classification unit price) and an exceptional product that cannot be made into a uniform unit price can be set at the same time during the same classification. Even if it is included, it can be distinguished by the flag, and other products in the classification can be sold at a uniform unit price. As a result, if at least one exceptional product is included in the classification, the number of classes to which the uniform unit price can be applied can be increased as compared with the case where the product in the classification cannot be sold at a uniform unit price.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the use of both the classification discount and the classification unit price can be easily permitted or prohibited in a store using the classification unit price alone, and the operation of the store can be flexibly supported.
