(D) Description of Operation when Operating POS Terminal According to this Embodiment With the above-described configuration, the operation when operating the POS terminal for ordering goods according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Two
This will be described below with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. For example, at a fast food store such as a hamburger shop, a product ordering POS installed at a reception counter
By activating the terminal 4-1, an order for a product from a customer is received.

That is, the information about the button attribute of the screen definition 54a is changed by the initial activation unit 59 to the key definition 54b.
While being incorporated from the menu master 55a and the menu master 55a, as an initial screen on the display 5, for example, as shown in FIG. Is displayed in a pop-up (Fig. 20
A1) in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 12, the screen control unit 5
4, the order input screen information 58- of screen ID = n-
(N + 1) is extracted from the screen definition body 54a, and is displayed as the order input screen 40 via the display control unit 52 on the display 5.
While being displayed, the touch panel 34 is controlled so as to display a pop-up in response to an instruction from the initial activation unit 59.

Note that the order input screen 40 described above is displayed when a customer receives an order for a product, and as shown in FIG. 2, has a touch panel composed of a plurality of keys ( Touch panel display function). In particular, as the keys constituting the above-mentioned touch panel, products of the same type may be used as one category key, (same-type product display function), a memory key for storage processing, or a memory recall key for recalling memory. Yes (memory processing key display function).

Further, the above-mentioned touch panel can switch and display the products corresponding to the products switched according to the time zone (time zone switching product display function). In other words, the screen control unit 54 manages the time zone by the clock provided inside the POS terminal 4-1 and extracts the screen information having the desired screen ID from the screen definition body 54a in accordance with this time zone. Then, the display is controlled by the display 5 via the display control unit 52.

By the way, the operator performs various operations on the POS terminal 4-1 and accepts orders from customers by performing desired key operations from the initial screen shown in FIG. 11 (step A2). Specifically, by operating a desired key of the function key unit 12, various operations of the POS terminal 4-1 are performed, such as issuing a receipt, holding order information in the memory 7, registering a handler,
In addition to calling the accounted memory 7a, calling the unaccounted memory 7b, selling special operation, manager operation, panel switching operation, attendance and attendance registration operation, etc., it accepts orders from customers (steps A21 to A).
29).

Here, when accepting an order from a customer, first, regarding the customer class of the customer, as shown in FIG.
1 is selected from the touch panel 34 and input (step A3, step A31, step A32). In addition,
When the customer class is input through the touch panel 34, the touch panel 34 that has been popped up is released, and the POS terminal 4-1 is ready for product registration processing (order acceptance), but the clear key 12k is operated. Then, the customer class input performed immediately before becomes invalid.

After the customer segment is input as described above, the order input waiting state is entered. That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 21, after the quantity is input through the ten keys 11 (step A43), the item key section 13
By operating, the product name corresponding to the quantity input in advance is registered (step A5). In addition, when inputting the above-mentioned quantity, the operator pushes the Promo key 12f.
When is operated and a free promotion is input, only “0” is accepted as the number of pieces (step A41, step A).
42).

Here, when the operated key in the item key section 13 is a category key constituting a group item, a touch panel for selecting a product in the menu within the group is pop-up displayed (selectable item display). Function or product list display function). That is, in the transaction processing unit 55, by referring to the menu master 55a, the ID information of the touch panel screen that is popup-displayed corresponding to the group product is output to the screen control unit 54.

As a result, in the screen control unit 54, a touch panel (for example, reference numeral 45 in FIG. 3) for selecting any of the group products is displayed on the display 5 via the display control unit 52. Have control. For example, when the key 13d in FIG. 2 is operated, the operator can select a product in shakes by popping up the touch panel 45 as shown in FIG. 3 (step A5).
1).

In this case, after inputting the quantity through the ten-key pad 11 (step A53), one of the keys (menu key in group) on the touch panel 45 displayed in a pop-up is operated to advance the operation. Although the product name corresponding to the input quantity is registered (step A54), when the clear key 12k is operated, the quantity input performed immediately before is invalidated.

When the end key is operated without selecting the menu in the group among the keys on the touch panel 45 displayed in the pop-up, the pop-up display is canceled and the original order input waiting state is waited for. The state is set (step A52 to step A4). further,
When the operated key in the item key unit 13 is a key for registering a set product (set menu), the basic product in the set product is displayed as a registered product on the display 5 (basic product display Function), a touch panel 44 composed of keys corresponding to selectable products among the products constituting this set product is pop-up displayed on the display 5 (step A56, selectable item display function or selectable product display function). ).

That is, in the transaction processing unit 55, by referring to the set menu master 55c, the basic product and the menu of the selectable products constituting the set product are taken out, and the ID of the touch panel screen for selecting the selectable product. The information (POPUPID) is output to the screen control unit 54, and the screen control unit 54 that receives the information controls the display 5 via the display control unit 52.

For example, when the key 13c in FIG. 2 is operated, the operator can display a touch panel 44 composed of keys corresponding to the types of drinks selectable in the commodities constituting the hamburger set, so that the operator can drink. The type of can be selected. Then, after inputting the quantity through the ten-key pad 11 (step A59), by operating any of the keys on the touch panel 44 displayed in a pop-up, the product corresponding to the quantity input in advance is registered. (Step A60) When the clear key 12k is operated, the quantity input performed immediately before is invalidated.

If there is a change in the quantity of the set menu, the quantity to be changed is entered through the ten keys 11 (step A57), and then the touch panel 4 is operated.
4 is pop-up displayed (step A58), and the product is registered by inputting the quantity and type of the selectable product as in the case described above (step A59, step A60). Also in this case, the clear key 12
When k is operated, the quantity input performed immediately before becomes invalid.

Further, when the registration of the set product is completed as described above, the operator presses the end key on the touch panel 44, but until the predetermined number of drinks designated in step A43 is selected, the touch panel 4 is pressed.
The pop-up display of 4 is not canceled (pop-up cancellation function). In other words, in the transaction processing unit 55, when the operator notifies via the screen control unit 54 that a predetermined number of selectable products other than the basic products have been selected and registered, the screen control unit 54 is notified. , And gives an instruction to cancel the pop-up display on the display section of the display 5.

When the registration of the product belonging to the group item or the registration of the set product as described above or the registration of the product of the normal menu (single product menu), the registered product is regarded as a custom order. When doing so, the operator performs an operation as shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, when the operator presses the special order key 12j (steps A7, A71), a touch panel constituted by keys for selecting the custom order contents is displayed in a pop-up (step A).
72).

After that, after inputting the quantity through the ten keys 11 (step A74), by operating any of the keys indicating the custom-ordered contents displayed in the pop-up,
It is possible to register the product to be ordered and the quantity thereof with the contents of the special order (step A75). Even in this case, when the clear key 12k is operated, the quantity input performed immediately before is invalidated.

[0135] Incidentally, after popping up a touch panel composed of keys for selecting the custom-ordered contents,
When the customer withdraws the custom order or when the custom order is registered, the operation for the custom order ends (step A73, step AA76, step A7).
8). In addition, if you continue to perform custom orders,
The process is repeated in the same manner as described above (step A76, step A77 to step A74, step A75).

When the order input (commodity registration) processing is performed for the normal menu, the menu belonging to the group item or the set menu as described above and the acceptance of the customer's order is completed (step A8), the operator determines that the transaction is a takeout transaction. While the takeout subtotal key 12n is operated (steps A9 and A91), the eatin subtotal key 12m is operated in the case of an eat-in transaction (steps A9 and A).
92).

When the eat-in subtotal key 12m or the takeout subtotal key 12n is operated, the operation shown in FIG.
The accounting screen 41 as shown in is displayed, and the processing shifts from the commodity registration processing to the accounting processing shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 23 and 24 (step B1 of FIG. 23). In the state where the accounting screen 41 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed, if an additional order is received from the customer, the additional order key 12A-
By operating 13 (Step B2, Step B
21), on the display 5, this accounting screen 41
The order input screen 40 immediately before is displayed is displayed (step B22). This allows the operator to accept additional orders from customers.

In addition, when performing special sales operations such as high-priced sales, sales suspension, employee discount permission, general discount permission, tax-free sale or free sale, the above-mentioned various sales can be performed by operating the sale special key 12a. A sales special operation screen for selecting one of the special operations is displayed (step B3, step B31, step B32). The operator can perform a desired sales special operation by selecting any of various sales special operations displayed on the above-mentioned sales special operation screen and operating the corresponding key (step B33). . As for the special sale operation requiring the permission, the desired special sale operation is performed after receiving the permission (step B4, step B41 to step B41).

If the customer receives an additional order after performing the special sales operation as described above, the additional order key 1
By operating 2A-13 (steps B5 and B51), the order input screen 40 immediately before the check screen 41 is displayed is displayed on the display 5 (step B52). This allows the operator to accept additional orders from customers.

As described above, if the customer does not have an additional order after performing the special sales operation as necessary, the customer receives the price for the product as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the customer particularly wants to directly exchange the actual product for the price, the operator operates the memory key 12i to hold the transaction information before the settlement of the price in the unaccounted memory 7b.
This allows the operator to perform another operation using the POS terminal 4-1 until the product is prepared.

When the customer orders the product ordered by the customer, the detailed information of the product ordered by the customer is displayed on the statement display section 14, but the operator presses the order confirmation key 12A-12. The POS terminal 4 can be expanded by operating the detail display unit 14 to enlarge the display.
The display contents of the detail display unit 14 can be collated even from a place away from -1 (detail display function).

That is, in the screen control unit 54, when the operation information of the order confirmation key 12A-12 is input through the touch sensor 51 and the touch panel control unit 53, the display on the detailed display unit 14 is enlarged. The display controller 52 and the display 5 are controlled. After that, when the product is completed and the ordered product is prepared, the operator calls the unaccounted memory call key 12d.
Is operated to call the transaction information from the memory 7 (see screen 43 in FIG. 7), the product provided to the customer and the detailed information are collated, and the payment of the later-described payment is made in exchange for the provision of the product. Can be performed (registration / clearing process screen display function).

Also, when it is necessary to perform another process before the settlement of the price, the operator does not need to use the memory key 12
By manipulating i, the above-mentioned transaction information before payment settlement is held in the non-accounting memory 7b. After that, when the other process is completed, the operator operates the unaccounted memory call key 12d to call the transaction information from the memory 7, so that the process can be continued.

Further, if the customer cancels the order in the middle of ordering the merchandise, the operator operates the above-mentioned memory key 12i to temporarily store the order information in the non-accounting memory 7b. By placing the order, it is possible to accept an order from a customer who is waiting for the turn behind without delay. In this case, when there are no customers waiting for the order thereafter, the above-mentioned order information can be called by operating the unaccounted memory call key 12d and canceled by operating the sales special key 12a (order information deletion). function).

If the customer pays only cash, the amount of money received is entered (step B61 in FIG. 24). At this time, if the clear key 12k is operated, the amount input made immediately before is invalidated. After that, the operator depresses the cash total key 12A-14 to perform cash accounting for the transaction (step B62). That is, the required change is exchanged from the automatically opened drawer (step B10 to step B12). When the operator completes the transfer of change, the drawer is closed (step B13). At this time, if necessary, the receipt key 12e is operated to issue a receipt (step B111) or the memory key 12i.
By operating, the information regarding the transaction with the customer can be held in the memory 7 (step B11).

Press to press to make a transaction total (Step B
62).

In the case where payment is made using the above-mentioned coupon ticket, if there is a balance in consideration for the coupon ticket, the operator notifies the customer to that effect. When there is an additional order using the remaining amount of the coupon ticket, the order for the additional order can be received as in the case of step B5 described above (step B8 to step B5).

If there is no additional order, the operator automatically exchanges the necessary change from the drawer that is opened. The operator closes the drawer when the transfer of change is completed (step B10 to step B12). At this time, if necessary, the receipt key 12e is operated to issue a receipt (step B111), or the memory key 12i is operated. By doing so, the information regarding the transaction with the customer can be held in the memory 7 (step B112).

Further, when the customer pays the price using a credit card, the operator operates the sale special key 12a to display the sale special operation screen on the display 5, and then performs the sale special operation. Select a credit from the screen. As a result, the POS terminal 4-
In step 1, a predetermined credit payment process is performed (steps B66 to B68, step B62), a receipt as a credit payment statement is issued, and the payment process is completed (steps B9, B91).

If the customer pays the foreign currency, the operation is performed by the foreign currency key 12A.
