Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise sales data processing device formed so as to be able to execute merchandise sales data processing corresponding to a plurality of predetermined key inputs on condition that a plurality of predetermined key inputs are made. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, the product registration function of the functions of an electronic cash register type product sales data processing device is executed as follows.

In the first mode, a cashier reads a bar code attached to a product by using a scanner and reads and inputs the product code of the product. Then, the control unit obtains product data (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the product code from the product file. If more than one (eg 10) is purchased, the cashier is (“10”, “x”)
Enter the key. Then, the control unit determines the unit price (for example,
Product A is registered as a purchase of 10 products A of 500 yen).
If the purchase quantity is one, key input (for example,
"1", "x") is not required.

In the second mode, for example, in the case of tax treatment and discount service, after the product code is read and input by the scanner, (“external tax”, “product registration”, “1”).
0 "," discount "," 10 "," x ") are input by a plurality of keys. Then, the tax-excluded product A is discounted by 10 yen and 10 products are registered, and the products are registered.

[0005] Furthermore, the third mode is, for example, in the case of a device not equipped with a scanner or a product equipped with a scanner, for example, a product which is not bar coded because it is a special sale item or the bar code is dirty. The product code must also be keyed in and the second aspect must be executed.

Thus, it is apparent that the first aspect is advantageous in terms of improving work efficiency, and is constructed and operated as such.

[0007]

By the way, even if the first mode is the basic mode and is commonly used, the second mode and the third mode are used.
Aspects may have to be performed. Thus, there is a problem that the cashier that relies on the first aspect causes a significant delay in work when the second and third aspects are forced to be executed.

[0008] That is, to explain the second mode as an example, in the construction of the apparatus, as shown in FIG. 7, the "external tax" keyed in first is keyed in the memory M1 and secondly. The entered "commodity registration" is stored in the memory M2, and the third key combination consisting of "10" and "discount" is stored in the memory M3.
(M31, M32) and the fourth key combination of "10" and "x" is the memory M4 (M41, M42).
Respectively (see FIGS. 7A and 7B).
Then, the control unit reads the key input contents set in the memories M1 to M4 in a predetermined order (Xr) as shown in (C) and processes the designated product sales data (product registration).
To execute.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, n =
When it is set to 0 (ST20), the memory M is searched (ST21), and it is determined whether or not a predetermined key input content is made in each predetermined memory M (ST22). If the corresponding key input contents suitable for each memory M are set (ST
22 YES, ST23, ST24 YES), the designated product sales data process is executed (ST25). However, if the predetermined key input content is not set in each predetermined memory M (NO in ST22), the error process (ST26) is performed.

Therefore, for example, if the key input operation order of the key input of "(excluding tax)" and the key input of the combination of ("10", "discount") is mistaken, they are called "10" and "discount". Even if the group key input is correct, an error (ST26) occurs.
That is, it is necessary to correctly perform a predetermined plurality of key inputs in a predetermined input operation order.

In other words, the cashier must be prepared for the second and third modes that are sometimes needed, and it is necessary to remember each key input sequence necessary for processing each merchandise sales data. It is a problem that if you forget it, it will cause a significant stagnation of work.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing device capable of executing the respective merchandise sales data processing regardless of the input operation sequence when a predetermined plurality of key inputs are performed.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Analyzing the actual operation of a large number of operations, it is conceptual from the specified name / content of the product sales data processing that what key input is required for a predetermined multiple key input. Easy to remember. However, since the order of key input operations is uniquely determined due to a problem in the construction of the device, it is difficult for cashiers other than the parties concerned to be familiar with them.

In view of this point, the present invention is formed so as to be able to remove the constraint due to the key input operation sequence of a plurality of key inputs.

That is, the invention of claim 1 is predetermined.
Key input is performed on condition that multiple key inputs have been made.
-Implementable product sales data processing corresponding to input
Within each key input
A plurality of memories corresponding to
If you press the key, the contents of each key input will correspond to each memory
Completion of multiple key inputs with corresponding storage control means stored in
Declaration means for declaring that it has been done, and that the end declaration has been made
While searching for all or part of the memory under the condition
Read each key input content stored in each memory
Key input content read control means and read multiple key inputs
Pre-determined processing of product sales data with specified contents
Determination to determine whether or not the entered multiple key input contents are satisfied
Means, and if it is determined that the
-Execute the product sales data processing using the input contents
Providing processing execution means and inputting a plurality of predetermined keys
And the end declaration is made, the input operation order of the multiple key input
Can execute specified product sales data processing regardless of order
It is characterized in that it is formed.

[0016]

[0017]

[0018]

In this invention, when a key is input, the correspondence storage control means stores the key input contents in the memory corresponding to the contents. When the input of a plurality of keys is completed, the declaring means is used to declare the fact. That is, it is confirmed that a plurality of keys forming a group have been input. Then, the key input content reading control means operates and reads each key input content while searching all or some of the memories. Subsequently, the determination means determines whether or not the read key input content satisfies the predetermined multiple key input content regarding the designated product sales data processing. When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the process executing means executes the specified product sales data process using the contents of the plurality of key inputs.

[0020] Thus, it is possible to work carried out regardless of the input order simply by a declaration for confirmation after the multiple key input, handling is more easily.

Further, in the invention of claim 2 , the first display control means for displaying on the display the key input contents required for executing the designated product sales data processing, and each key input are made. merchandise sales data processing apparatus of each of the key entries the corresponding key input content according to claim 1, wherein the second display control means for displaying is brought closer to nominal display position is provided in the case.

In the above invention, the first display control means displays on the display the names of a plurality of key input contents required for executing the designated product sales data processing. Further, the second display control means displays the key input content in close proximity to the nominal display position each time a key input is made. Therefore, it is possible to visually confirm the actual input and non-input with respect to the required multiple key input contents. Therefore, the same operational effect as in the case of the invention of claim 1 can be obtained, and further, the handling is simpler and the work efficiency can be greatly improved.

The RAM 13 has a plurality of memories M corresponding to each individual key input content and each group key input content in addition to the product file and sales file (not shown).
And a sequence table 13S in which the contents of a plurality of key inputs required to execute each product sales data process are set.

Further, the keyboard 20 is provided with an end declaration key 20D forming a declaring means for declaring that a plurality of key inputs have been completed.

Here, the corresponding storage control means is means for storing the contents of each key input in each corresponding memory M in advance when each key input is made, and stores the corresponding storage control program. It is composed of the ROM 12 and the CPU 11, and is executed in ST12 of FIG.

That is, in the conventional example (FIG. 7), FIG.
When the keys are input in the predetermined input operation sequence shown in FIG. 3, the data is set in the predetermined memories M1 to M4. However, according to the present invention, not only in the case of the conventional example shown in FIG. 2 (A1) [FIG. 7 (A)]. As shown in (A2), no matter what the input operation sequence is, for example, "external tax" is stored in the memory M11.
In addition, “10” and the subsequent “discount” are M of the memory M13.
It can be stored (set) in 131 and M132.

The key input content reading control means, on condition that the end declaration has been made (YES in ST14 of FIG. 3), all or some of the plurality of memories M in the memory table 13M.

It is formed by the M12 and the CPU 11 and is executed in ST10 of FIG.

That is, when the product sales data processing with discount (product registration with discount) is designated, as shown in FIG. 4, the name (“excluding tax”, “product code”, “value”) is set. ”,“ × ”) are displayed.

In practice, common and similar merchandise sales data processing is often formed so as to be simultaneously displayed on the display 21 in order to increase the selectivity. Also in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, (“tax included”, “tax exempt”) and (“discount”, “extra”) are also displayed.

The second display control means is the ROM 12 and the CP.
It is formed from U11 and when key input is made (ST
11), the respective key input contents are displayed on the display 21 by approaching the corresponding key input contents nominal display value (ST.
13) Do.

If it is shown in relation to FIG. 4, close display is performed as shown in FIG. That is, regardless of the order of input operations, for example, when a group key input (“10”, “discount”) is made, “10” is displayed close to the nominal “discount” display position. . Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not everything has been input before the end declaration.

Next, the operation and operation of this embodiment will be described. When product registration (product sales data processing) accompanied by discounting is designated (FIG. 3), first display control means (11, 1)
In 2), the names of the contents of a plurality of key inputs required to execute the processing are displayed as shown in FIG. 4 (ST10).
They are (“excluding tax”), (“discount”), and (“x”).

It should be noted that the first display control means relating to processing of other product sales data with similar discounts or surcharges displays the name (“discount” etc.) and is common (essential). Nominal names (“product code”, “product name”, etc.) are also displayed.

The cashier inputs the two individual keys "external tax" and "product registration" described above as the discount sale, and the two group keys "10" and "discount" and "10" and "x". When inputting, there is no restriction on the input operation sequence.

For example, first, the group key input ("10" and "x") shown in FIG. 2 (A2) is key input (Y in ST11).
ES). Then, the corresponding storage control means (11,

No. (12) of key input contents displayed by 1, 12)
The key input content "10" is displayed by approaching the display position of (ST13). Therefore, it is possible to confirm that "10" has been input.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 2 (A2), it is assumed that "merchandise registration", "excluding tax", "10" and "discount" are key-input in this order. The order of these input operations does not matter. The key input content "merchandise registration" for distinguishing it from the case of cancellation registration (merchandise sales data processing) is stored in a predetermined memory M12 shown in FIG.
"10" and "discount" are stored in the memory elements M131 and M132 forming the memory 13 (ST12).

Thus, the display 21 is displayed as shown in FIG. 5 (ST13). The product code "XX
... XX ", product name" XX ... XX ", and unit price" ¥ 100 "are obtained by reading and inputting a barcode using the scanner 19.

Thus, the cashier uses the declarative means (2
0D) is used to declare the end (YES in ST14).
Then, the key input content reading control means (11, 12)
While searching at least a part of the memories M10 to M15 of the memory table 13M shown in FIG. 2 in the Xf direction, for example, each key input content stored in each memory is read (ST1
5), temporarily store in the work area of the RAM 13.

Subsequently, the discriminating means (11, 12) is predetermined with respect to the merchandise sales data processing (merchandise registration with discount) in which the contents of a plurality of keys read while referring to the sequence table 13S are designated in advance. It is determined whether or not the input contents of the plurality of keys are satisfied (ST16).

When it is determined that the condition is satisfied (YES in ST16), the process executing means (11, 12) executes the product sale data process (ST18). As a result, the display on the display 21 is switched from the state shown in FIG. 5 to the state shown in FIG. Note that the amount of money “900 yen” is displayed after processing.

It should be noted that it is determined that the condition is not satisfied (ST1 in FIG. 3).
No. 6), in the case of this embodiment, the reminder display control means (CPU 11, ROM 12) displays on the display 21 guidance that a part of the contents of a plurality of key inputs is insufficient and the input reminder. (ST19) is formed.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the plurality of memories M (13M) and the corresponding storage control means (11, 12) are used.
And declaring means (20D) and key input content reading control means (1
1, 12), a discriminating means (11, 12) and a process executing means (11, 12) are provided, and if a plurality of predetermined key inputs and an end declaration thereof are made, the input operation sequence of the plurality of key inputs is concerned. Since it is configured to be able to execute the specified merchandise sales data processing, it is possible to significantly improve the work efficiency while reducing the burden on the cashier, and to expand the qualification qualification of the cashier.

The first display control means (11, 12)
And a second display control means (11, 12) are provided so that the names of a plurality of key input contents required for executing designated product sales data processing can be displayed on the display unit 21 and key input is completed. Since the key input content is formed so as to be displayed close to the nominal display position each time it is performed, it is possible to visually confirm the actual input and non-input of the required multiple key input content. Therefore, it is easier to handle and the work efficiency can be greatly improved.

Further, a reminder display control means (11, 12)
It is designed to display that fact and a reminder when the cashier's actual key-in contents do not meet the specified key-sales data processing corresponding to the specified product sales data processing, so handling is much easier. Therefore, more reliable key input can be performed.
