[0020]
The printer 24 prints data on receipt paper and journal paper. The printed receipt paper is issued from a receipt issuing port, and the journal paper is wound up inside the terminal. In the present embodiment, a line thermal printer capable of printing barcodes at high speed is used as the printer 24.
The barcode scanner 26 is for optically reading a barcode of a PLU code attached to each product.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 5, each POS terminal 1 having such a configuration stores, in the RAM 13, a product code, a score and a customer purchase product for one transaction in order to realize the function of issuing the single transaction receipt and the consolidated receipt. A transaction buffer 51 for storing an amount and a total thereof for each transaction; a line memory 52 for storing data of a terminal number, a transaction serial number and a total amount corresponding to each line of 1 to 10; A terminal number memory 53 for storing a terminal number TMNo peculiar to the terminal set for each terminal 1, and a transaction serial number counter for counting a serial number which is a serial number issued for each transaction in each POS terminal 1 54; a line counter 55 for counting the lines in the line memory 52; The flag memory 56 of the medium flag F1 (1: registered, 0: non-registered) and the flag memory 57 of the closing flag F2 (1: after completed, 0: before completed) for discriminating whether or not the registration of one transaction has been completed. Is formed.
[0022]
Further, in a state where the “registration” operation mode is selected by the mode switch 16, the CPU 11 executes the commodity registration processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, the registration closing processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, and the receipt key shown in the flowchart of FIG. The program of the ROM 12 is configured to execute the processing and the collective receipt key processing shown in the flowcharts of FIGS.
[0023]
That is, in the “registration” operation mode, the CPU 11 inputs the PLU code (product code) attached to the customer purchased product by operating the number key 31 and the PLU key 32 of the keyboard 19 or scanning operation of the barcode scanner 26. Then, the product registration process shown in FIG. 6 is started.
First, the registered flag F1 of the flag memory 56 is checked as ST1. Here, if the registering flag F1 is reset to "0", it means that the first customer-purchased merchandise of one transaction has been registered. The buffer 51 is cleared. In step ST3, the transaction sequence number counter 54 is incremented by "1", and a transaction sequence number, which is identification data of the current transaction, is issued. Further, at ST4, the registering flag F1 is set to "1". If the closing flag F2 of the flag memory 57 has been set to "1", it is reset to "0". If the registering flag F1 is already set to "1" in ST1, the second and subsequent customer purchases of one transaction are registered, and the processes in ST2 to ST4 are not performed.
[0024]
Next, the CPU 11 makes an inquiry to the store computer 2 with the PLU code of the customer purchased product input as ST5. When the product data such as the product name, unit price, and tax type set corresponding to the PLU code is responded, the unit price is changed to the sales point (the number key 31 and the × key 33 immediately before the PLU code is input). If the multiplier is input, the multiplier is multiplied by the multiplier, and if the multiplier is not input, the multiplier is multiplied by 1) to calculate the sales amount. Then, the PLU code, the sales points, and the sales amount of the customer purchased product are stored in the transaction buffer 51. Thereafter, when the product name, unit price, sales amount, and the like of the customer purchased product are displayed on the operator display 21 and the customer display 22 in ST6, the product registration process ends.
[0025]
In addition, in the “registration” business mode, when the deposit / current total key 36 of the keyboard 19 is input, the CPU 11 starts the registration closing process shown in FIG.
First, the registered flag F1 of the flag memory 56 is checked as ST1. Here, if the registering flag F1 is reset to “0”, it is an erroneous operation in which the customer purchase product to be processed as one transaction is not registered and registration closing is declared, and thus an error is generated.
[0026]
If the registering flag F1 is set to "1" in ST1, the end of registration of the customer-purchased product to be processed as one transaction is declared, and the PLU of the customer-purchased product to be processed as one transaction is declared as ST2. Based on the data in the transaction buffer 51 in which the codes, sales points, sales amount, and the like are stored, the receipt print data including the sales data of the customer-purchased products of the one transaction and the total data thereof is edited, and the printer 24 is operated. Is printed on receipt paper and journal paper.
[0027]
Next, as ST3, the terminal number [zzzz] of the POS terminal 1 set and stored in the terminal number memory 53, and the transaction serial number [nnnnnn] of the transaction counted by the transaction serial number counter 54, the one transaction. Is formed, and the transaction identification data [zzzznnnnnn] is bar-coded. In step ST4, the barcode of the transaction identification data (hereinafter, referred to as a transaction barcode) is printed on a receipt paper by the printer 24, and further, receipt header data (data such as a store name and a logo) for the next transaction is printed on the receipt paper. Then, the receipt paper is cut between the transaction barcode and the receipt header data of the next transaction, and the receipt of the current transaction is issued from the receipt issuing port.
[0028]
Thereafter, the CPU 11 performs sales registration processing of sales data of customer-purchased merchandise registered as one transaction based on the data of the transaction buffer 51 in the storage unit of the RAM 13 in ST5. Further, as ST6, a transaction completion notification message including the terminal number [zzzz], the transaction serial number [nnnnnn], and the total amount of the customer-purchased commodities registered in the one transaction is created, and the transaction completion notification message is transmitted. The data is transmitted to the store computer 1 via the line 3. Further, when the closing flag F2 is set to "1" in ST7 and the registering flag F1 is reset to "0", the registration closing process ends.
[0029]
Here, when the store computer 2 receives the transaction completion notification message from each POS terminal 1, the terminal number [zzzz], the transaction serial number [nnnnnn] in the message, the total amount and the receipt issuance history indicating that the receipt has not been issued. A transaction management record having a flag = “0” is created and additionally registered in the transaction management file 4.
Here, the transaction management file 4 includes transaction identification data (terminal number + transaction serial number) for specifying the transaction for which the registration of the product has been terminated by inputting the registration closing key (deposit / current total key 36) and the customer in the transaction. A transaction history storage means for storing and managing the total purchase price for each transaction is constituted.
[0030]
On the other hand, the CPU 11 of each POS terminal 1 starts the receipt key processing shown in FIG. 8 when the receipt key 38 of the keyboard 19 is input in the “registration” business mode.
First, as ST1, the closing flag F2 of the flag memory 57 is checked. Here, if the closing flag F2 is reset to "0", an error is issued because a single transaction receipt is instructed to be issued at a timing that is not after the closing of registration of customer-purchased products to be processed as one transaction. .
[0031]
If the closing flag F2 is set to "1" in ST1, the issuance of a single transaction receipt is instructed for one transaction after the declaration of the completion of registration of the customer purchase product to be processed as one transaction. In step ST2, the total amount of the customer-purchased merchandise that has been sales-registered as one transaction is obtained from the data in the transaction buffer 51, and the store copy data and customer data of a single transaction receipt with this total amount as the receipt amount are edited. Then, first, in ST3, the printer 24 is driven to print the store copy data of the single transaction receipt on the receipt paper. Next, as ST4, the customer data of the single transaction receipt is printed on the receipt paper. Further, if the receipt header data for the next transaction is printed on the receipt paper, the receipt paper is cut between the customer data of the single transaction receipt and the receipt header data of the next transaction, and two single transaction receipts are cut. (One for store copy and the other for customers) from the receipt issuing port.
[0032]
Thereafter, as ST5, a single transaction including the terminal number [zzzz] of the terminal number memory 53, the transaction serial number [nnnnn] of the transaction serial number counter 54, and the total amount of the customer-purchased commodities registered for sales in the one transaction. When a receipt issuance notification message is created and the receipt issuance notification message is transmitted to the store computer 1 via the communication line 3, the receipt key processing ends.
[0033]
Further, in the “registration” business mode, when the collective receipt key 38 of the keyboard 19 is inputted, the collective receipt key processing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is started.
First, as ST1, the closing flag F2 of the flag memory 57 is checked. Here, if the closing flag F2 is reset to “0”, an error is issued because a command for issuing a collective receipt is issued at a timing that is not after the closing of registration of the customer-purchased product to be processed as one transaction.
[0034]
If the closing flag F2 is set to "1" in ST1, the sum of the total amount of the customer-purchased products of a plurality of transactions is summed up after the declaration of registration of the customer-purchased products to be processed as one transaction is received. In step ST2, the operator displays the operator's display 21 to display the layout receipt processing screen 61 of the layout shown in FIG. 13, for example. In step ST3, the count value L of the detailed line counter 55 is initialized to "1". The summary receipt processing screen 61 mainly includes a terminal number and a transaction serial number, which are identification data of a plurality of transactions that summarize the customer purchase total amount as a summary receipt, and a specification column for displaying the total amount in a table format. Guidance is displayed for prompting the operator to select whether or not the current transaction for which the end of product registration has been declared by operating the / current total key 36 is to be a transaction to be consolidated.
[0035]
Then, the CPU 11 waits for a key operation for selecting whether or not to make the current transaction a target transaction (ST4) (ST4). Then, if it is confirmed that the key operation for instructing the current transaction to be the target transaction, that is, that the subtotal key 35 has been input, the terminal number and the transaction serial number of the current transaction are stored as ST5. The data of the terminal number memory 53 and the transaction serial number counter 54 and the total amount of the current transaction obtained from the data of the transaction buffer 51 are stored in the detail line L (L is the count value of the detail line counter 55) in the detail line memory 52. Remember. Also, as ST6, the terminal number and the transaction serial number stored in the detail line L of the detail line memory 52 are placed in the row of the transaction number L (L is the count value of the detail line counter 55) in the detail column of the summary receipt entrance screen 61. And each data of the total price is displayed. Thereafter, if the detail line counter 55 is counted up by “1” in ST7, the process proceeds to ST8.
[0036]
On the other hand, if it is confirmed in ST4 that the key operation for instructing that the current transaction is not to be made the target transaction, that is, that the X key 33 has been input, the processing of ST5 to ST7 is not performed. The process proceeds to ST8.
In ST8, the screen of the operator display 21 is switched from the collective receipt processing screen 61 to, for example, a collective receipt processing screen 62 shown in FIG. That is, the guidance for instructing the operator to perform the next operation is changed from the operation guidance for including or not including the current transaction to the operation guidance for prompting scanning of the transaction barcode printed on the receipt of the transaction to be summarized.
[0037]
Then, the CPU 11 waits for the barcode scanner 26 to scan and input the transaction barcode in ST9. Then, if the transaction barcode printed on the receipt is scanned and input (collection target transaction data input means), transaction identification data of one of a plurality of transactions for summarizing the total value of the customer purchase products is input as a collective receipt. Then, in step ST10, the transaction barcode is analyzed to obtain the data of the terminal number and the transaction serial number constituting the barcode. Then, a transaction inquiry message is created using the data of the terminal number and the transaction serial number, and the transaction inquiry message is transmitted to the store computer 2 via the communication line 3.
[0038]
As a result, the store computer 2 searches the transaction management file 4 to determine whether there is a transaction management record in which the terminal number in the inquiry message matches the transaction serial number, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. means). Then, when the corresponding transaction management record is detected, it is determined whether or not the receipt issuance history flag of the transaction management record is “2” indicating that the collective receipt has been issued. Then, if the receipt issuance history flag is not “2”, a permission response message including the total amount of the transaction management record is transmitted to the POS terminal 1 that has made the inquiry. On the other hand, if the corresponding transaction management record cannot be detected, or if the receipt issuance history flag of the corresponding transaction management record has already been set to “2”, the non-response message is sent to the inquiry source POS terminal 1. It is meant to be sent.
[0039]
Therefore, when the CPU 11 of each POS terminal 1 transmits an inquiry message in ST10 and receives a non-response message from the store computer 2 in ST11, it ends this processing in error, and executes the transaction bar code input by scanning. Do not issue a consolidated receipt for the transaction identified by.
[0040]
If the license response message is received from the store computer 2 in ST11, the terminal number and the transaction serial number obtained by analyzing the transaction barcode scanned and input in ST12 are added to the total amount included in the license response message. At the same time, it is stored in the detail row L (L is the count value of the detail row counter 55) in the detail row memory 52. In step ST13, the terminal number, the transaction serial number, and the total amount stored in the detail line L of the detail line memory 52 are provided in the number of transactions L (L is the count value of the detail line counter 55) in the summary receipt entrance screen 61. To display each data. Thereafter, if the detail line counter 55 is counted up by “1” in ST14, the process proceeds to ST15 (FIG. 10).
[0041]
In ST15, the guidance "issue receipt → issue key" (see FIG. 14) for instructing an operation for issuing a summary receipt is added to the guidance of the summary receipt processing screen 62 displayed on the operator display 21.
Then, the CPU 11 waits for the barcode scanner 26 to input the transaction barcode again by the barcode scanner 26 in ST16 or the operation input of the issue key 40 of the keyboard 19 in ST22.
[0042]
If the transaction barcode is again scanned and input in ST16, the same processing as in ST10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 is performed as ST17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. After the execution, the process returns to ST16, and waits for the barcode scanner 26 to again input the transaction barcode by scanning or to input the issue key 40.
[0043]
If it is detected in ST22 that the issuance key 40 has been operated and input, in ST23, the total amounts stored for the respective lines in the line memory 52 are added up, and the total amount is received. Edit the store copy data and customer data of the consolidated receipt. Then, first, in step ST24, the printer 24 is driven to print out the store copy data of the receipt on the receipt paper. Next, in step ST25, the customer data of the receipt is printed on the receipt paper. Further, if the receipt header data for the next transaction is printed on the receipt paper, the receipt paper is cut between the customer data of the consolidated receipt and the receipt header data of the next transaction, and the two consolidated receipts (one is the store receipt). A copy is issued from the receipt issuing port (collective receipt issuing means).
[0044]
Thereafter, in step ST26, a consolidated receipt issuance notification message including the data of the terminal number, transaction serial number, and total amount stored in each detailed line of the detailed line memory 52 is created, and this receipt issuance notification message is transmitted. The data is transmitted to the store computer 1 via the line 3.
After that, the detailed line memory 52 is cleared as ST27. If the collective receipt processing screen 62 displayed on the operator display 21 has been deleted in ST28, the collective receipt key processing ends.
[0045]
When the store computer 2 receives the single transaction receipt issuance notification message from each POS terminal 1, the store computer 2 searches the transaction management file 4 as shown in FIG. , A transaction management record having the same transaction serial number and total amount, and updating the receipt issue history flag of that record to “1” indicating that a single transaction receipt has been issued.
In addition, when the above-mentioned summary receipt issuance notification message is received, as shown in FIG. 5, the transaction management file 4 is searched and all the transaction management files having the same terminal number, transaction serial number, and total amount in the received message are retrieved. The record is searched, and the receipt issue history flag of each record is collected and updated to "2" indicating that the receipt is issued.
Here, the transaction management file 4 constituting the transaction history storage means stores flag data (receipt issue history flag) indicating the presence / absence of the issuance history of the consolidated receipt.
[0046]
In the department store having the POS system of the present embodiment configured as described above, a clerk operating a POS terminal 1, a so-called cashier, receives an offer to buy a product from a shopper, and receives a keyboard 19 of the POS terminal 1. Alternatively, the user operates the barcode scanner 26 to input the product code (PLU code) of the customer purchased product and perform a registration operation. Then, the merchandise sales data of the merchandise code, the number of sales, and the sales amount of the customer purchased merchandise are stored in the transaction buffer 52.
[0047]
In this way, when the cashier finishes registering all the products purchased by the shopper, if the customer pays for the goods by cash, the cashier presses the deposit / current total key 36 to perform the registration closing operation. Then, the receipt 70 for this transaction is printed and issued by the printer 24.
