Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a receipt that is issued using a roll-shaped receipt paper on which information such as advertisements of various lengths is printed on a back surface and that the information is not cut off in the middle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For receipts used at retail stores and gas stations, service information such as sales information and store information is printed on one side (front side) of paper in the form of letters and graphics and issued as a receipt. . In this case, the receipt is printed on the rolled receipt paper conveyed by the paper conveyance device, and is issued by the cutting device cutting at the printing end position.

[0005] Recently, advertisements and the like are printed in advance on the printed back side of a roll-shaped receipt paper, so that the back surface of the issued receipt is effectively used as an advertisement medium. In this case, if the advertisement is simply printed on the back side, the advertisement may be interrupted in the middle according to the length of the receipt print information such as sales information printed on the front side, and the function as the advertisement medium may be performed. May be impaired, or the advertising function may not be able to perform at all. Therefore, an advertisement is printed at a specific pitch on the back side of the roll receipt paper, and the cutting position of the paper is set to an integral multiple of the advertisement pitch so that the back side advertisement is not interrupted in the middle. I have. Alternatively, the print pitch of an advertisement or the like is set to less than half the minimum issue length of the receipt, and no matter how long the paper is cut, one advertisement is always cut off. Some people try to enter in a form that does not exist. There are also receipts that print a recognition mark indicating the pitch of an advertisement provided in advance, detect the printed recognition mark, determine a cut position, and issue the advertisement so that the advertisement is not interrupted.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the advertisement information and the like are printed at a specific pitch on the back surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper, and the paper is cut at an integral multiple thereof to cut the back-surface advertisement halfway. If the method is not used, the printing range (size) of the backside advertisement is limited, and the advertisement that can be printed is also limited. Further, in the above-described method of setting the print pitch of an advertisement or the like to be equal to or less than half the minimum issue length of a receipt, only a limited small advertisement can be placed. Further, in the method of determining a cut position by detecting a preset recognition mark indicating the length of an advertisement, it is necessary to print the recognition mark at a predetermined position of the advertisement. High precision is required in such processes as printing and roll cutting. In addition, an extra mark may appear on a printed surface of an advertisement or the like, which may impair the advertisement effect. Furthermore, since the print pitch width is also restricted, it is not possible to freely print any large or small advertisement. In addition, a reading error may occur depending on the size of the recognition mark, printing error, dust, dirt, and the like.

In the present invention, the roll-shaped receipt paper is cut at every break of the advertisement information column printed on the back side, regardless of the length of the receipt print information printed on the front side. It is an object of the present invention to provide a receipt having a high advertising function, which is configured as described above and has no interruption in the advertisement information.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention requires that an end sign indicating the end position of the advertisement information column is printed together with advertisement information of any length on the back or front side of the receipt printing surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper. It is a receipt paper that is a feature.

The end indicator is printed on the bottom of the advertisement section along the receipt width direction or between the advertisement information and the next advertisement information. The end marker is a line having a predetermined width and a predetermined length, and is printed at a density equal to or higher than a predetermined density level.

[0008] Furthermore, on the back or front side of the receipt printing surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper, advertisement information of an arbitrary length and an advertisement sign having a length equal to the length of the advertisement information are printed along the longitudinal direction of the advertisement information. The advertisement sign is printed along one of the left and right sides of the advertisement section.

The end marker is a line having a predetermined width and a predetermined length, and is printed at a density equal to or higher than a predetermined density level.

[0010] On the back side of the receipt printing surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper, advertisement information of various lengths is printed with a space of a certain distance or more, and in the column of each advertisement information, the length direction of the receipt is set. 2 is a receipt sheet printed so as not to have a margin longer than a predetermined length interval.

[0011] The roll-shaped receipt paper in the present invention is cut at every break of the advertisement information column printed on the back side regardless of the length of the receipt print information printed on the front side. It is a configured receipt paper.

In order to identify the end of the information by recognizing a space in the receipt paper in the present invention, it is sufficient if the separation between the information and the information in the printing of the back surface has a space of a certain distance or more. . Therefore, it is not necessary to print a special mark or the like for information recognition, so that printing is easy. In addition, by printing the sign, it is possible to print advertisements of various lengths arbitrarily and to provide a receipt paper with a high advertisement function.

The type of the device used is not limited as long as the receipt paper of the present invention has a function of issuing the receipt paper of the present invention. For example, it can be used in a cash register, a POS terminal (including a GAS POS terminal), a vending machine, a vending machine, an ATM, and the like.

[0014]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 In the following description, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings, taking a report printed by a cash register or the like as an example.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, showing an example of a printed receipt. (A) shows the front side of the receipt 100, and (b) shows the advertisement information 41 on the back side.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the form of advertisement information on the back surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper 1 in the present invention. (A) is a second embodiment of the present invention. This shows a form in which advertisement information 45 having an arbitrary length and an advertisement sign 45 equal to the length of the advertisement information are printed along the advertisement information. (B) is the same as (a), but shows a form in which an advertisement sign 45 equal to the length of the advertisement information is printed outside the advertisement information column along the advertisement information. (C) shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which an end indicator 46 is printed in the space 40 between the advertisement information 41 and the next advertisement information 41. (D) shows an example in which an end marker 46 equal to the advertisement information print width is printed along the bottom of the advertisement information 41 column. (E) shows an example in which the end indicator 46 is printed at an arbitrary length along the bottom side of the advertisement information 41 column.

First, an apparatus for issuing a receipt according to the present invention will be described.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a device for printing a receipt according to the present invention, wherein (a) is a side view of a printing area portion and (b) is a perspective view thereof. It should be noted that the configuration shown here schematically shows only the area (printing area) for printing on the roll-shaped receipt paper 1 and discharging the same from a cash register or the like. The other parts are well-known, and the configuration is omitted.

The roll receipt paper 1 stored in the storage section is fed out along a sheet guide path, and is conveyed to a portion of the printing device 3 provided downstream thereof. The printing device 3 includes a feed roller 3a and a thermal transfer type thermal head 3b disposed opposite to the feed roller 3a (line thermal type). Of course, other than this, a printing apparatus such as an ink jet system and a dot impact system may be used, and the printing system is not limited to a specific system.

A cutting device 5 provided with a cutter assembly 5a and a cutter receiver 5b is disposed downstream of the printing device 3 so that the printed paper is moved to a predetermined position (information end position) described later. ) And discharge the cut paper as a receipt outside the cash register. One of the cutters is supported and fixed so as to rotate, and the rotation of the support shaft by the driving device causes the cutter blade to rotate toward the cutter receiver around the support fixed point to cut the paper. As the structure of the cutter, a disk-shaped rotating cutter may be used.

In cutting the paper, an optical sensor 7 is arranged on the upstream side of the printing device 3 and constantly scans the back surface information of the roll-shaped receipt paper, and finishes the printing surface of the advertisement information at the present position. When the recognition is made, a space or a sign between the next advertisement is read, and the cutting device 5 can cut the paper at the position where the cut is specified by the end of the information.

Here, the receipt 100 of the present invention created by the above-described device will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, on the front side of the receipt 100 shown in FIG. In the example shown in the figure, a greeting message and service information 50 are printed at the same time as a receipt, a company name, a telephone number, an address, a purchase date, and the like. In the product purchase information column 51, the name of the purchased product and the amount of money are printed and the number of purchased items is printed. It also contains subtotals, consumption taxes, totals, deposits, and change fields. Other various information and service information such as discount information may be printed.

As shown in (b), the advertisement information 41 and the like are continuously and continuously printed in an arbitrary length on the back side of the receipt 100. On the printed surface of the advertisement information 41 having an arbitrary length of any size, a predetermined space is provided between the printed advertisement information 41 and the advertisement information 41 as a space 40. In this example, no mark, hole, or the like for recognizing the start and end of the advertisement is set in the information field of the advertisement.

As described above, in order to issue the receipt using the roll-shaped receipt paper 1 on which the advertisement information is printed on the back side, the advertisement information on the back side is issued without being cut off in the following manner. It is done.

Here, in the first embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to detect the space provided between the advertisement information 41 and the advertisement information 41, recognize the end of the advertisement information 1, and identify the cut position. Thus, a space 40 having a predetermined length is provided. As the length of the margin, a minimum length and a maximum length may be determined in advance, and a margin having an arbitrary length may be provided as long as the length is within the range.

In this case, the maximum length of the margin is set to be shorter than the shortest length of the issued receipt (for example, the length of the receipt issued when only one product is purchased). With this setting, the advertisement information 41 is printed even with the shortest receipt. As means for recognizing the space 40 between the advertisement information 41 and the advertisement information 41, the optical sensor 7 as shown in FIG. 3 can be used.

The image sensor means constituting the optical reading apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a light source for irradiating light to a design, a bar code or the like, a mirror means for refracting and condensing the reflected light and a lens. And a contact image sensor (hereinafter referred to as "CIS"), an optical line sensor that is compactly integrated with these means and an optical sensor means for converting reflected light into an electric signal. There is. In principle, the invention of the present application is applicable to an image reading apparatus using any of the above types of image sensors. However, in the present embodiment, the shape is small and the structure is relatively small. A description will be given based on an example using a simple CIS.

The thermal transfer printer head of the printing device 3 prints the print character images sent from the printer controller by arranging the print character images in a predetermined width by thermally transferring ink in the form of dots to roll-shaped receipt paper. It is configured.

Therefore, in the present invention, the receipt is issued as follows. The product name, unit price, amount, and the like, which are sales information 51 purchased at the store, are input, and the data and various information 50 are printed on the receipt 100. When the input is completed, the printed receipt 100 is subjected to an end process of calculating the total amount, change, and the like. At the same time, the sensor 7 that detects the back side determines whether the current back side is the position where the information such as the advertisement 41 is printed. The detection is continued up to the position of the pace 40, and the paper is advanced. When the space 40 is recognized, the end of the information is specified, the processing for determining the cut position of the paper is performed, the cutting device is driven to cut the paper, and the paper is fed out of the cash register. The final position where the space 40, which is the end of the advertisement information, is recognized and the paper is cut is determined based on the transport speed of the roll-shaped receipt paper 1 and the time at which the space is detected.

In this manner, the information break is recognized in the space 40 between the printing of the advertisement information 41, the cut position of the paper is determined, the receipt 100 is issued, and the printing is performed on the back side of the roll-shaped receipt paper 1. That is, the advertisement information 41 is not cut off in the middle.

Therefore, in order to prevent erroneous recognition of the space 40 separating the advertisement from the advertisement in the print column of the advertisement information 41, it is necessary that the number of lines detected by the sensor is not a predetermined number or more. It is. In the printing of the advertisement information 41 in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, an example in which the ground is colored has been described, but the ground may be mesh printing or the like.

Here, a method of detecting the space 40 in the first embodiment of the present invention, in which the end of the advertisement information 41 is recognized by the space, will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.

FIG. 4A shows the scanning direction of the advertisement information 41 example on the back of the roll receipt paper 1, and FIG. 4B shows the state of the back of the roll receipt paper read by the sensor. FIG. 4 is a related diagram including data and a threshold value.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a section “P4” of the space element shown in FIG. 4B.

The CIS detects the information surface on the back side of the roll-shaped receipt paper and recognizes whether the information is printed or the space 40 at intervals. The density level becomes higher as the color approaches black. Thus, usually any printed portion will exhibit a higher density level than white, and the unprinted space 40 will exhibit a lower density level (white). Accordingly, it can be recognized that any print whose density level is higher than a predetermined level value (threshold value 42) set in the white density level area is printed. Therefore, in order to determine a change in density level based on a space interval or the like, the minimum number of pixels having the same density level is set as a determination criterion. If the read level value of the predetermined number of image element pixels continuously changes by more than the predetermined number of pixels from the predetermined value (threshold value 42), it is determined that the density level has changed.

This means that when the density level continuously changes from the area higher than the white density level (from the advertisement print surface) to the white level by a predetermined number, the advertisement information 41 changes to the space 40. I do. Thereafter, it is determined that the space is white until the density level changes. Conversely, the determination of the change when the space changes to the advertisement information is the same as described above.

However, if there is dust, dirt, defects or the like in the above-mentioned space, it must not be recognized in the same manner as printing. For this reason, in the present invention, dust, dirt, and defects are determined and processed as noise.

The principle of the above-described noise detection method in the present invention is as follows. For example, when the space 40 between the advertisement information 41 and the next advertisement information is set to 8 mm, 188 dots of white are continued when the CIS reading density is 600 dpi. If the dirt is 3 mm, there are 70 dots. Therefore, when the changed density level continues for 70 dots and returns to the original density level, this is regarded as noise and processed to improve the reading accuracy. Also, according to this example, if a margin is formed in the advertisement information column on the back side of the receipt in the longitudinal direction, if the blank margin line on the print surface in the advertisement information column is 3 mm, the margin line is ignored. Is determined as an area of advertisement information, not space.

Therefore, if the distance is 3 mm or less in the advertisement information column, there may be a margin. Note that, depending on the reading function of the image sensor, the margin of 3 mm or less is not restricted to the area other than the reading line area of the image sensor.

As described above, in consideration of the read pixel density of the image sensor and the minimum number of pixels when reading the finest elements constituting the space 40, when the read image data less than the predetermined number of continuous pixels is generated. In order to improve the reading accuracy, this is regarded as noise and processed.

As described above, even if the image data is the finest image element, data of the same level (white or other than white) is read continuously for several dots. As shown in FIG. 4A, the advertisement information on the back surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper and the space 41 between the advertisement information are displayed. When this image element is read by the image sensor in the scanning direction X shown by the arrow in the figure, it is read as the analog image data of (b). The section "P1" to the section "P5" indicate the image element of the image to be read and the analog image data read corresponding thereto. Usually, when a black image element is read, high level (black level) data follows, and when the image element changes to white, low level (white level) data follows. However, if there is a margin in printing, if the reading device generates noise, or if the density level of the image element changes due to dirt or dust, the image sensor reads it and changes the image data. Occurs. In the example shown in FIG. 4B, a short waveform that changes from a continuous level value and exceeds the threshold value in the section “P2” and the section “P4” is shown.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the section “P4” of the image element shown in FIG. 4B.

The vertical axis in FIG. 5 indicates the density level, and the horizontal axis indicates the number of pixel numbers. In this figure, it is shown that the density level exceeds the threshold value in the pixel number S8 and the pixel number S9 in the section “P4”.

In this section “P4”, the pixel numbers S1 to S2 are still black because their density levels do not exceed the black level threshold. From pixel number S2 to pixel number S3, since the density level exceeds the black threshold value and has not reached the white level threshold value, it is determined that the color level is changing from black to white. From this point, check the concentration level. Pixel number S4 is at the white level, and pixel numbers S4 through S5 are at the same level. Pixel numbers S5 to S7 are white at the same level. The pixel numbers S7 to S8 are determined to be changing, and the pixel numbers S8 to S9 are determined to exceed the white threshold and change to black. It is determined that the pixel numbers S9 to S10 are changing from black to white. Then, the original white level is restored at the pixel number S10. Therefore, although the pixel number has changed from pixel number S8 to pixel number S10, the change is equal to or smaller than a predetermined pixel, and thus the pixel is determined to be noise. The pixel numbers S10 to S11 are determined to have the same level, and the density level check is started. Since the pixel numbers S10 to S15 have the same level, it is determined to be white. Then, since the pixel numbers S15 to S17 exceed the white level threshold and have not reached the black level threshold, it is determined that the pixel numbers are changing. In step S18, since the threshold value of the black level has been reached beyond the threshold value of the white level, it is determined that the color has been changed to black. In this way, the process of determining that the section “P4” is white including noise is performed. The above is a description of the white density level check, but the check of the white or higher density level is performed in the same manner. Then, similarly, in the determination of the density level of white or more (detection of the advertisement information), the correct determination with the noise removed is performed.

In this way, it is possible to determine the area where the advertisement is printed and the area of the space 40 where there is no advertisement, and know and specify the end position of the information.

Further, as a second and a third embodiment of the present invention, a receipt sheet in which an end sign and an advertisement sign are printed in advance on the advertisement surface on the back surface of the roll-shaped receipt 1 will be described.

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which an advertisement sign 45, which is a line of a predetermined width, is printed to detect the end of the advertisement information printed on the back surface of the roll-shaped receipt paper 1. It is a figure showing the example of.

(A) is a second embodiment of the present invention. This shows a form in which advertisement information of an arbitrary length and an advertisement sign 45 equal to the length of the advertisement information are printed along the length direction of the advertisement information.

In this embodiment, an advertisement mark 45 (line) indicating the range of the advertisement is printed in advance on the right side of the advertisement information 41 to have the same length as the advertisement information. In this case, in order to recognize the end of the advertisement information, the sensor 7 is installed on the side where the printing of the printed advertisement sign 45 (line) can be scanned. For this reason, the width of the line of the advertising sign 45 is printed with a predetermined width so as to perform accurate scanning. The sensor scans the position of the width where the advertisement mark 45 (line) is printed. If a density level equal to or higher than the detected reference level continues for an arbitrary number of pixels, and if a lower density level is detected continuously for an arbitrary number of pixels or more, it is determined that the density level has changed. It is determined that the advertisement information is a space indicating the end interval. The same applies when changing from the space section to the advertisement information printing section. This recognition method can be performed in the same manner as described above. Then, the end position of the information can be known.

Also in the case of this embodiment, the scanning judgment processing is the same as the above-described method, and also deals with defects on the lines, dust, blurred printing, etc. If it is within the range, it is processed as noise.

Therefore, in this case, there is no restriction on the margin of the printing surface of the advertisement information column, and the margin can be an arbitrary length. The print position of the advertisement sign 45 can be set on the right side or the left side of the advertisement information column.

(B) is the same as (a) above, but in this case, the advertisement sign 45 is equal to the length of the advertisement information outside the column of the advertisement information 41 along the length direction of the advertisement information. 9 shows a form in which the advertisement sign 45 is printed. In this case, the advertisement information section is not restricted by the advertisement sign, and the advertisement can be printed in the entire frame of the advertisement section, so that the advertisement effect is improved. The restriction on the margin in the advertisement information column is not restricted in the same manner as in (a) above, and the margin can be an arbitrary length. The recognition method and the processing in this case are the same as (a) described above.

(C) is a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the length of the space 40 between the advertisement information 41 and the next advertisement information 41 is substantially equal to the width of the advertisement information 41 at substantially the center in the length direction. The end indicator 46 indicates a form in which the end indicator 46 is printed.

After recognizing the end of the sales information, a process of detecting the end marker 46 to specify the end position is performed. First, as described above, a space is detected. When a predetermined number of pixels having a density level equal to or higher than a predetermined density change from the density level of the space are detected in succession, it is recognized that the density level has changed. When it has changed, the end indicator 46 has been recognized. When the end marker 46 is detected in the space, the cut position is determined and cut control is performed at the position to issue a receipt. The line of the end marker 46 has a predetermined width and is printed at a density equal to or higher than a predetermined density level. In this case as well, the advertisement information section is not restricted by the end sign, and the advertisement can be printed on the entire frame of the advertisement section, so that the advertisement effect is improved. The recognition method and processing in this case are the same as described above. The method using the end indicator 46 is effective because the length of the advertisement and the length of the space are not limited and can be set to any length.

(D) shows an example of a form in which an end marker 46 equal to the advertisement information print width is printed along the width direction of the bottom of the advertisement information 41 column. In this example, an end indicator 46 (line) composed of a line having a predetermined width is printed on the lower side of the advertisement information column. In this case, the end of the advertisement information 41 column can be detected by the end indicator 46 to specify the cut position. The recognition method and processing in this case are the same as described above.

(E) shows an example in which the end indicator 46 is printed at an arbitrary length along the width direction of the bottom of the advertisement information 41 column.

In this example, an example is shown in which a short end indicator 46 (line) is printed on the lower frame side of the advertisement information 41 column. In the example, it is printed on the lower left side, but it can be set arbitrarily in the lower right side or in the center. Thus, the end marker 46 does not have to be the same length as each side. In this case, the sensor may be any sensor that can read a predetermined length corresponding to the short end marker 46. The recognition method and the processing in this case are the same as described above.

Here, another embodiment for recognizing the advertisement information 41 and the space 40 will be described.

The colors of the end marker 46 and the advertisement marker 45 described in (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) above need not necessarily be black. It is sufficient if there is a density level difference that can be reliably determined by comparing with the density level of the space.

Further, a discrimination mark or the like is printed on the advertisement information surface or space with special ink, and recognition is performed by a recognition method using special ink instead of the end mark 46 and the advertisement mark 45 in (a) to (e). Is also possible. In this case, it is also possible to adopt a method of installing and recognizing a sensor for recognizing advertisement information or a space by reflecting the reflected light by, for example, ultraviolet rays reflected from the ink. In addition, by printing a sign or the like with ink mixed with a magnetic ink or a material having a metal reaction, the end of the printed surface can be specified in the same manner as described above with a sensor that detects the material. When these materials are used, the ink used in place of the end marker 46 and the advertisement marker 45 does not have to have a color, and transparent ink can be used. This means that the end marker 46 and the advertisement marker 45 can be printed at any place in the advertisement information or any space. There are no restrictions on the advertising printing surface. Furthermore, if printed using special ink, this advertising information can be used as a countermeasure to prevent counterfeiting when used in coupons and cash vouchers.

When the sales information printing space on the front side is vacant below the back advertisement information end position, other service information may be printed. For example, print a guide such as "A coupon is on the back." Or print a service information guide such as "○ ○ Coupon is on the back." It may be.

As described above, the receipt according to the present invention allows advertisement information 41 of any size, large or small, to be placed on the back surface thereof, and the roll-shaped receipt paper is printed on the front side thereof. Regardless of the length of the print information, the advertisement information column printed on the back side is cut at each break of the advertisement information without being cut in the middle.
