Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a store remote call system for remotely displaying a call from a customer and informing a staff member at a store such as a restaurant or a coffee shop.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a remote call system for a store of this type, for example, a sign display device disclosed in JP-A-59-64898 is known.

In this conventional device, when a customer on the table operates a display switch arranged on a table of a restaurant or the like, a calling signal including identification information of a seat number is transmitted to the signal processing device, and the signal processing device. Distinguishes the call signals from the reception and displays the seat numbers in the order of reception of the call signals on the call display device installed at a position easily visible to the staff in the store.

When the staff carries the eraser, and when services such as order reception for calls are completed,
By entering the seat number on the numeric keypad and sending an erase signal,
The display of the seat number determined from the deletion signal received by the signal processing device is erased, and at the same time, the display of the subsequent seat number is moved so as to fill the number display portion vacated by the deletion.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional remote call system for a store, only the seat numbers are displayed in the call display device in the order of call, and the staff displays the call display device. There is a problem that the seats can be recognized only by the displayed numbers.

That is, depending on the store, there are cases where the customer seats are divided into table seats, tatami mat seats, counter seats, etc., and different services such as menus according to the type of seat are provided, and the conventional simple number display. Then, there is a problem that it is difficult to know whether it is a table seat, a tatami room seat, or a counter seat.

Even at the same table seat, there are cases where the staff is divided into a plurality of divisions to be in charge, and similarly, it is necessary to judge whether or not the call is made from the table in charge of oneself only by the numbers. There is a problem that it is difficult to understand because it must be done.

Further, in the conventional system, the seat numbers are displayed side by side in the order of calling, and by starting the service from the top seat number, it is possible to avoid being called after being called first. And we are making every effort to service.

However, when a large number of customers come to the store one after another, it may take some time for the staff to go to the call. There is also the problem that things like waiting for customers occur.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a remote call system for a store, which makes it possible to intuitively understand the type of seats, division of seats, and the time elapsed since a call, and which enables prompt and appropriate service. .

[0011]

To achieve this object, the present invention is constructed as follows. First, the present invention provides a plurality of calling devices for transmitting a calling signal including identification information of a seat number by a switch operation, an erasing device for transmitting an erasing signal including identification information of an operated and operated seat number, and a numeric or character display. A call display device in which a plurality of possible number display parts are arranged, and a seat signal is received in the number display part of the call display device in the order of reception of the call signal and a corresponding seat is received by receiving a delete signal. A remote call system for a store provided with a signal processing device that erases the number display and moves the subsequent seat number display so as to fill the empty number display portion by the deletion.

With regard to such a remote call system for a store, in the present invention, each number display section of the call display device is provided with a display color switching section for displaying a numerical value by switching to a different display color, and the calling device is called. The signal is transmitted by including the identification information of the display color preset according to the type of seat, and the signal processing device discriminates the color identification information from the calling signal to identify the display color switching portion of the corresponding number display portion for display. The feature is that the seat number is displayed by switching to the color.

As described above, according to the present invention, the seat numbers displayed on the call display device are color-coded so that, for example, table seats are displayed in red numbers, tatami seats are displayed in green numbers, and counter seats are displayed in orange. By categorizing the seats according to colors such as the display of numbers, it becomes possible for a new staff member (clerk) such as a part-time job or a part to easily distinguish the seats called.

Here, the calling device has a setting switch such as a DIP switch for setting the type of seat, and transmits a calling signal including identification information of a display color indicating the type of seat based on the setting state of the setting switch.

For this reason, the display color can be freely changed by any calling device whose number is predetermined, and the numbers corresponding to the divisions in the store, such as Nos. 1 to 30, are table seats and No. It is not necessary to place .31-40 in the tatami mat seats and No.41-50 in the counter seats corresponding to the set number of the calling machine such as counter seats.

The signal processing device is characterized in that the display state is changed according to the elapsed time from when the seat number is displayed on the calling display device. For example, the signal processing device causes the corresponding display number to flicker at a slow cycle after a lapse of a fixed time from the start of displaying the seat number, and further causes the flicker at a fast cycle after the lapse of the fixed time.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the elapsed time is monitored for each seat number displayed on the call display device, and the seat number is lit for one minute, for example, after the display, and the soft blinking starts after one minute. Two minutes later, it starts blinking quickly, and the display status changes according to the elapsed time after such a display, so that the staff (clerk) can quickly respond to the seat from the flicker of the seat number. Can recognize what should be done,
In addition, since it recognizes that it took a long time, it is possible to provide appropriate customer service, and explain why the customer is late and not to offend the customer.

The signal processing device further discriminates the color identification information from the calling signal so as to output different ring tones, thereby making it possible to easily discriminate the seat type and division by the sound.

[0019]

[0020]

Further, in the present invention, the call display device is provided with a call remaining number display portion capable of switching and displaying seat numbers, and the signal processing device receives the call remaining number when the call signal exceeding the number displayed on the call display device is received. The remaining number of ringing signals not displayed on the number display is displayed.

Therefore, even when all the call display devices are lit up and there are more calls than that, the remaining number of calls is displayed by a number, so that the staff (clerk) can receive a call from any seat at present. You can easily check if
It is possible to grasp busy hours and adjust the number of staff (clerks) required.

[0023]

1 is an explanatory diagram showing the system configuration of a remote call system for a store according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a main body device 11 having a signal processing device 12 and a call display device 14 is installed in a store 10 as a remote call system for a store according to the present invention, and is also installed in a seat such as a table or a counter. A plurality of calling devices 16 and a plurality of erasing devices 18 carried by store staff are provided.

Here, the calling device 16 is provided with, for example, a No. 1 to
No. The seat number as shown in n and the display color according to the type and classification of the seat are preset, and when the customer operates the switch, a call signal including the seat number identification information and the display color identification information is displayed. The signal is transmitted to the signal processing device 12.

The signal processing device 12 receives the calling signal from the calling device 16 and causes the calling display device 14 to display the seat numbers in the order of reception of the calling signal. Further, in the present invention, the calling device 1
Since the calling signal from 6 includes the identification information of the display color, this is discriminated and the seat number of the calling display device 14 is color-coded and displayed in the determined display color.

Further, the signal processing device 12 is the calling display device 1.
When the number display and color display based on the reception of the call signal are performed in 4, a timer is started, the elapsed time from the call display is measured, and the state of the number display is changed according to the elapsed time.
As a method of changing the number display state according to the elapsed time, for example, flicker is gently made 1 minute after the number is displayed, and then quickly made 2 minutes after.

The erasing device 18 is carried by a staff member of the store, and when the service number is terminated by looking at the display number of the call display device 14, the erasing signal is input by entering the seat number on the ten-key pad and operating the erase switch. Is transmitted to the signal processing device 12. The signal processing device 12, which has received the erasing signal from the erasing device 18, determines the seat number included in the erasing signal, erases the display of the determined seat number displayed on the call display device 14, and at the same time, erases it. The display of the seat numbers following the erasing position is shifted so that the vacant number display portion is packed forward.

In some stores, if there is a seat where radio waves are hard to reach from the main body device 11, a relay antenna device is installed on the way.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the main body device 11 of FIG. The main body device 11 has the signal processing device 12 of FIG. 1 built therein, and the front face of the panel is a call display device 14.

The call display device 14 is provided with five number indicators 20-1 to 20-5 in this embodiment. Each of the number indicators 20-1 to 20-5 can use a 7-segment indicator to display a 2-digit numerical value. Therefore, in this embodiment, the seat numbers from 1 to 99 can be selectively displayed.

FIG. 3 shows the structure of the display color switching section of the number indicator provided in the call display device 14 of FIG. The number display 20 uses, for example, a liquid crystal display 21 as a display element, and the liquid crystal display 21 is provided with two 7-segment display units 28.

Around the liquid crystal display 21, there is provided a structure that constitutes a display color switching section for switching the display color among three colors of red, green and orange. That is, the backlight illumination members 25a, 25b, 25c are arranged on each of the three sides of the outer periphery of the liquid crystal display 21.
A light emitting diode 26a that emits red light, a light emitting diode 26b that emits green light, and a light emitting diode 26c that emits orange light are arranged.

The light generated by lighting one of the light emitting diodes 26a to 26c is backlit illumination members 25a to 25c.
Is incident on the liquid crystal display device 21 and diffused here to illuminate the liquid crystal display 21 with backlight light. Therefore, by driving each segment of the 7-segment display unit 28 provided in the liquid crystal display 21 to the transmissive state, a two-digit number can be displayed in a display color determined by the color of the backlight illumination light.

The display color may be switched not by illuminating the numbers themselves by the 7-segment display unit 28 of the liquid crystal display 21, but by switching the illumination color of the backlight light for the display color of the background portion of the numbers.

Instead of using the liquid crystal display 21, the multicolor light emitting diodes may be arranged along a two-digit numerical value to switch the display color of the multicolor light emitting diodes. The number display section of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and may have any suitable structure as long as the display color can be changed.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the number indicators 20-1 and 20-2 whose display colors can be switched among three colors of red, green and orange.
In 0-5, the left side is displayed in the order of reception of call signals, and numerical display of seat numbers determined from the call signals and red, green, or orange color display according to the display color determined from the call signals are performed.

If there are table seats, tatami mat seats, and counter seats as the seats in the store 10 of FIG. 1, the display color "red" for the table seats is displayed on the calling device 16.
The display color "green" is set for the tatami mat seats, and the display color "orange" is set for the counter seats.

As a result, in the call display device 14 of FIG. 2, depending on the display color displayed simultaneously with the display of the seat numbers on the number display devices 20-1 to 20-5, if it is red, it is a table seat, and if it is green. The staff can intuitively know at a glance that if there is a tatami mat seat, if it is orange, it is a counter seat.

On the lower right side of the number display devices 20-1 to 20-5 arranged on the call display device 14, the remaining call number display portion 22 is provided.
Is provided. The remaining number of calls display section 22 includes number indicators 20-1 to 20- provided on the call display device 14.
When the number of call display numbers determined by 5, more than 5 call signals in this embodiment, the remaining number of call numbers that cannot be displayed is displayed.

Further, the call display device 14 is provided with a speaker 24, and when receiving a call signal and displaying a seat number,
A chime sound such as "ping pong" is output. Further, below the call display device 14, adjustment parts such as a power lamp, a sensitivity adjustment knob, a chime volume adjustment knob by the speaker 24, and brightness adjustment knobs of the number indicators 20-1 to 20-5 are provided.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the calling device 16 used in the remote calling system for stores of FIG. FIG. 4A is a block diagram of a circuit configuration of the calling device 16. A calling control circuit 30 is provided in the calling device 16, and an encoding circuit (encoding circuit) 32 and a seat number storage unit 33 are incorporated therein.

The call control circuit 30 is provided with a call button switch 34 and a movement setting switch 36. The call button switch 34 has a switch knob arranged outside the caller 16. The customer presses the switch knob to activate the call control circuit 30, and the transmitter circuit 42 sends a call signal from the antenna 44 to the antenna 44 of FIG. The signal is transmitted to the signal processing device 12.

As the color setting switch 36, for example, a dip switch is used, and one of predetermined display colors, for example, red, green, and orange, is selected in accordance with the type and division of the seat in which the calling device 16 is arranged. , The color corresponding to the type of seat is selected with the switch knob of the DIP switch, and the display color is set in the call control circuit 30.

Therefore, when the call signal from the call button switch 34 is received, the call control circuit 30 modulates the call signal having the format shown in FIG. . The call signal in FIG. 4B includes a call command, number information indicating a seat number, and color information indicating a display color determined by the setting of the color setting switch 36.

The call signal having this format structure is

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the color information and the seat number according to the type of seat set in the calling device 16 of FIG. Assuming that there are currently three types of seats: table seats, tatami mat seats, and counters, as shown in the figure, red, green, and orange display colors are assigned, and two-digit numbers that can be displayed on the call display device 14 are assigned to each. Seat numbers 00 to 99 can be set. Therefore, the number of seats that can be set as a whole is 300 in this case.

Generally, assuming that the number of numbers that can be displayed by the number of digits of the number display is m and the number of display colors is n, the maximum number of seats that can be displayed is (m × n). In the case of FIG. 5, m = 10
Since 0 and n = 3, the maximum number of seats that can be displayed is (m
× n) = 100 × 3 = 300 seats.

By setting such a combination of the color information and the seat number in the calling device 16, when the seat arrangement is changed, for example, when the seat number of the table seat is used for the tatami seat, the call is made. Since it is only necessary to change the color information from "red" to "green" with the color setting switch 36 of the container 16, and it is not necessary to change the seat number, the change operation can be simplified.
