[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, point services have become widespread as means for attracting customers in retail stores. Each time a customer who has become a point member purchases a product, this service calculates points according to the purchase price of the product, accumulates the points for each customer, and offers benefits such as discount tickets in exchange for the accumulated points. This is a service given to the customer.
[0003]
Conventionally, when this point service is implemented at a retail store, a member card that records the customer's unique membership number is issued to each customer who has contracted as a point member, and the recorded information on this member card can be read. A card reader is provided at each POS (Point Of Sales) terminal in the store. In addition, the latest accumulated points along with personal information such as name, contact information (telephone number, address, etc.) corresponding to each customer's membership number in the storage unit of the store computer that connects each POS terminal online and performs centralized control The member file which memorized was established.
[0004]
Then, when the sales data of the product purchased by the customer who is the point member is registered in the POS terminal, the customer's membership card is read by the card reader. Then, the inquiry signal of the member number recorded on the member card is transmitted from the POS terminal to the store computer, the member computer is searched for the member file, and it is checked whether or not the inquired member number exists. . If it exists, an ACK response signal is transmitted to the inquiring POS terminal.
[0005]
Thereby, in the POS terminal, when the response signal is an ACK response signal, the purchase amount of the products set as the point calculation target among the products purchased by the customer is totaled, and the total amount is set to a predetermined amount. Calculations such as division by point unit amount were performed, and the current point was calculated and printed on the receipt along with the details of the product purchased by the customer. In addition, member transaction data including the member number of the customer and the current point is transmitted to the store computer, and the accumulated point of the customer stored and managed by the member file is updated to a value obtained by adding the current point.
[0006]
In this way, the accumulated points of each customer stored and managed by the store computer can be inquired by operating the dedicated point inquiry terminal by the customer himself, or can be exchanged for a gift certificate of the face value corresponding to the accumulated points. It was.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the past, point granting conditions such as the product group to be calculated and the point unit amount have been set in advance in the POS terminal, so it is possible to implement a plurality of types of point services with different point granting conditions at one sales floor. could not. For this reason, even a large-scale mass retailer that handles many types of products can only introduce one type of point service when the sales floor is common.
[0008]
Further, in the case of a shopping center where a plurality of retail stores gathered, it was possible to introduce a point service with different point granting conditions for each store. However, the ability to attract customers can be further enhanced by implementing a service in which a single customer adds points earned by each store's unique point service and issues a gift certificate that can be used in common in the shopping center according to the total points. However, such services could not be implemented.
[0009]
The present invention has been made based on such circumstances. The purpose of the present invention is to cope with a case where a plurality of types of point services having different point granting conditions are simultaneously performed, and one customer can have a plurality of points.

[0033]
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the main configuration of each POS terminal 2, and each POS terminal 2 has the same configuration. That is, each POS terminal 2 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 61 as a control unit body. Also, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 62 that stores fixed data such as programs in advance, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 63 that forms a memory area for storing variable data, and a store as shown in FIG. A single item table 64 in which product information such as a product classification code, product name, unit price, tax type status to which the product belongs corresponding to a single product code unique to each product to be handled is preset, a clock unit 65 for measuring the current date and time, A communication controller 66 that controls data communication with the store computer 1 connected via the communication line 4, a keyboard interface 67 that captures key signals from the keyboard 21, and a display interface 68 that outputs display image data to the display 23. A printer interface for outputting print data to the printer 24. 69, a scanner interface 70 for taking in the data signal scanned by the scanner 22, a card reader interface 71 for taking in the data of the membership card 5 read by the card reader 26, and a drawer interface for outputting an opening command signal to the drawer 25 72 etc.
[0034]
The CPU 61 is connected to the ROM 62, RAM 63, single table 64, clock unit 65, communication controller 66, and interfaces 67 to 72 through a bus line 73 such as an address bus or a data bus, and the CPU 61 controls each unit. It is supposed to be.
[0035]
Each POS terminal 2 having such a configuration is configured such that the CPU 61 processes a transaction with one customer, in particular, according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, the CPU 61 waits for ST (step) 1 to perform single item registration of a product purchased by one customer. Then, when the single product code of the purchased product is input by scanning input by the scanner 22 or key input of the keyboard 21, it is determined that there is single product registration and the process proceeds to ST2.
[0036]
In ST2, the single item table 64 is searched, and product information such as a classification code, a product name, a unit price, and a tax type status corresponding to the input single item code is read out. Then, if the purchase price is calculated by multiplying the unit price by the number of purchases (if the number is set using the keypad of the keyboard 21 immediately before single item registration, the value is 1 or if the number is not set) As shown in FIG. 8A, single item registration data including a single item code, a classification code, a unit price, the number of purchases, a purchase price, etc. is created, and this single item registration data is set in the current transaction memory formed in the RAM 63. . Also, as ST3, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), registered merchandise detail data including product name, unit price, purchase points, purchase price, etc. is created, and this registered merchandise detail data is set in the receipt print memory formed in the RAM 63. To do. Note that the current transaction memory and receipt print memory are cleared prior to the first registration of the product purchased by one customer.
[0037]
Next, in ST4, it is determined whether or not the closing key of the keyboard 21 has been input. Here, when the next single item registration is performed instead of the input of the closing key, the processes of ST2 and ST3 are repeated. Here, the current transaction memory constitutes purchased product information storage means for storing information on products purchased by the customer as one transaction.
[0038]
When the input of the closing key is detected in ST4, since the registration closing of the product purchased by one customer is declared, the process proceeds to ST5 and transaction settlement processing is executed. In this process, first, a subtotal amount is calculated from the purchase amount of the single item registration data stored in the transaction memory, an external tax amount is calculated, and a total amount including tax is calculated from the subtotal amount and the external tax amount. Display. Next, when deposit amount data is input from the keyboard 21 and a cash settlement is instructed, a change amount is obtained by subtracting the total amount including tax from the deposit amount and displayed on the display 23.
[0039]
When this transaction settlement processing is completed, the CPU 61 then, as ST6, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the subtotal amount, the amount subject to external tax, the external tax amount, the total amount including tax (current amount), the deposit amount, Transaction settlement data such as a change amount is created and set in the receipt print memory. Thereafter, in ST7, it is determined whether or not the current transaction is a transaction with a customer who is a point member.
[0040]
Here, if the membership number recorded on the membership card 5 is read by the card reader 26, since it is a transaction with the point member (customer) identified by the membership number, an inquiry including the membership number as ST8 A message is created and this inquiry message is transmitted to the store computer 1 via the communication line 4.
[0041]
Now, the store computer 1 that has received this inquiry message executes the process of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, when it is confirmed that the data received via the communication line 4 as ST21 is an inquiry message from the POS terminal 2, the point member file 12 is searched with the member number in the inquiry message as ST22.
[0042]
Here, when the point member record of the corresponding member number is registered in the point member file 12 (YES in ST23), the member name data and the point plan number whose membership flag is “1” are acquired from the record as ST24. To do. At this time, if there are a plurality of point plan numbers with the membership flag “1”, all of them are acquired. Next, referring to the point plan file 11 as ST25, all the point plan records of the point plan number acquired in the process of ST24 are read out. Then, the point plan name, the point unit amount, and the target classification number are acquired from all the point plan records. In ST26, the point message file 14 is referred to, and the receipt printing message data corresponding to the point plan number is acquired. Next, referring to the member record file 13 as ST27, the member record of the member number in the inquiry message is read. At this time, if there are a plurality of member record records with the same member number, all of them are read out. Then, the accumulated points are obtained from all the member record records that have been read out and added together to obtain the accumulated points up to the previous day. Further, the monthly points that expire in the next month are acquired from all the member record records that have been read out and added together to obtain the next month's expired points.
[0043]
Thereafter, the member name acquired in ST24 as ST28, the point plan name by point plan number acquired in ST25, the point unit amount and the target classification number, and the point plan number acquired in ST26. An ACK response message including the message data, the accumulated points up to the previous day acquired in the process of ST27, and the next month expiration point is created. Then, this ACK response message is transmitted to the POS terminal 2 inquired via the communication line 4.
[0044]
On the other hand, as a result of searching for the point member file 12 in the process of ST22, if the point member record of the member number in the inquiry message is not registered in the point member file 12 (NO in ST23), a NAK response transmission is performed as ST29. Create a statement. Then, this NAC response message is transmitted to the POS terminal 2 inquired via the communication line 4.
[0045]
Here, the store computer 1 acquires from the setting information of the point member file 12 all the point services to which the customer whose membership card 5 has been read is obtained by the processing of ST22 to ST25 in FIG. For each acquired point service, a member information acquisition unit is configured to acquire a product group to be given a point from the setting information of the point plan file 11.
[0046]
Therefore, the CPU 61 of the POS terminal 2 that has transmitted the inquiry message in the process of ST8 in FIG. 9 waits for a response message from the store computer 1. If an ACK response message is received within a predetermined time (YES in ST9), the current point calculation process is executed as ST10. In this process, first, when one kind of point plan number, the corresponding target classification number and the point unit amount are read from the ACK response message, the target classification number corresponding to the point plan number is classified from the current transaction memory. Extract all the single item registration data as codes, add the purchase amount, and divide the total purchase amount by the point unit amount corresponding to the point plan number to calculate the point of the point plan number (point calculation) means). Next, when another point plan number, a corresponding classification number, and a point unit amount are set in the ACK response message, the above process is repeated. In this way, if points are calculated for each point plan number set in the ACK response message, the points are added together to make points for the current transaction (current point granting means).
[0047]
Next, as ST11, as shown in FIG. 8D, the CPU 61 reads the membership number read from the membership card 5 by the card reader 26, the total purchase amount and the points by the point plan number calculated in the processing of ST10. Is created and stored in the member transaction memory of the RAM 63. In ST12, the member name in the ACK response message, the point plan name, message and point by point plan number, the accumulated points up to the previous day, and the points expired in the following month are set in the receipt print memory. After that, if the receipt print memory data is sent to the printer 24 to print and issue the receipt in ST13, the transaction processing with the one customer is terminated.
[0048]
If the data of the membership card 5 is not read by the card reader 26 in ST7, and if the response message from the store computer 1 is a NAK response message in ST9, the process proceeds to ST13, and a receipt is printed. When the data in the memory is sent to the printer 24 and a receipt is printed and issued, the transaction process with the one customer is terminated.
[0049]
The member transaction data stored in the member transaction memory of each POS terminal 2 is transmitted to the store computer 1 via the communication line 4 in a checkout operation performed after each store closes, for example. Thereby, the store computer 1 updates the member achievement file 13 based on the member transaction data collected from each POS terminal 2. Specifically, all member record records that match the member number of the member transaction data are extracted from the member record file 13. Then, the purchase amount and points corresponding to the plan number of the extracted member performance record are obtained from the member transaction data, the purchase amount is added to the cumulative purchase amount of the member performance record, and the points are set to the cumulative points and current month points. Each of them adds up.
[0050]
As described above, in this embodiment, the store computer 1 connected to each POS terminal 2 via the communication line 4 specifies a product group that is a point grant target for each of a plurality of types of point services having different point grant conditions. Point plan file 11 that sets the target classification number and point unit amount, and the enrollment flag corresponding to the plan number of the point service that is enrolled for each customer is set to “1”, and the plan number of the point service that is not enrolled And a point member file 12 that stores the membership flag corresponding to “0” as “0”. Each POS terminal 2 is provided with a card reader 26 that reads a member number recorded on a member card 5 issued to a customer who has joined at least one point service.
[0051]
Each POS terminal 1 stores, in the current transaction memory, single item registration data consisting of the single item code, classification code, unit price, number of purchases, purchase price, etc., every time a product purchased as a transaction by a customer is registered. When the registration closing is declared, it is determined whether or not the membership card 5 is read by the card reader 26. If the membership card 5 has been read, an inquiry is made to the store computer 1 with the membership number of the membership card 5.
[0052]
In response to this inquiry, the store computer 1 acquires all the point services that the customer identified by the member number has joined from the point member file 12, and further products for which points are granted for each of the acquired point services. The point granting conditions for the group and the point unit amount are acquired from the point storage file 11 and responded to the POS terminal 2 as the inquiry source.
[0053]
Upon receiving this response, the POS terminal 2 extracts information on products belonging to the product group to which points are given for each point service that the customer is enrolled from among the purchased product information stored in the transaction memory this time. Calculate points. Then, the total of points calculated for each point service is given to the customer as the points of the current transaction.
[0054]
The points given to each customer are accumulated by customer in the member performance file 13 of the store computer 1. In this way, the points accumulated for each customer can be inquired by operating the point inquiry terminal 3 or can be exchanged for a gift certificate having a face value corresponding to the accumulated points.
[0055]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, among the products purchased by the customer having the membership card 5 and registered as one transaction at the POS terminal 2, the point service to which the customer is enrolled is determined and the point service is used. The products in the product group to be given points are extracted and the purchase amount is totaled, and points are calculated based on the total purchase amount. In addition, if the customer is also enrolled in another point service, the products in the product group that are eligible for points are extracted using the other point service and the purchase amount is totaled. Based on the total purchase amount To calculate points. Then, the total of points for each point service is given as the current point for the customer.
[0056]
Therefore, a plurality of types of point services can be performed simultaneously, each of which is a target for giving points to products of different product groups that can be registered with one POS terminal 2. As a result, in large-scale mass retailers that handle many types of products, even if the sales floor is common, multiple types of point services can be implemented, so it is possible to present point services that are attractive to customers one after another. This can increase the effect of attracting customers.
[0057]
Also, if one customer is enrolled in multiple point services, the points granted by each point service are managed together and can be redeemed for gift certificates, etc. From this point, it is possible to increase the customer-collecting effect.
[0058]
In the present embodiment, when the customer has the membership card 5, the current point given to the customer is printed on the receipt together with the details of the purchased product. In addition, a point message table 14 for setting a message related to the point service for each point service is provided in the store computer 1, and when the customer has the membership card 5, messages corresponding to all the point services that the customer has joined are received at the same receipt. Is printed. Therefore, the customer can easily know the current point from the receipt. In addition, when the user is enrolled in a plurality of point services, the current point can be grasped for each point service. Further, a message related to the point service can be acquired, and the serviceability is improved.
[0059]
FIG. 11 shows an example of a receipt issued in a transaction with a customer who is a point member in the present embodiment. In this example, customers who are enrolled in two types of point service “Waiin Club” identified by the point plan number “01” and point service “Cosmetic Members” identified by the point plan number “02” Purchase 20 points for the point service “Waiin Club”, “xx wine” and the point product “Chocolate”. Is an example. From this receipt, the customer was given 20 points for the point service “Waiin Club” that he / she joined in this transaction and no points for “Cosmetic Members”. Understand. In addition, messages from the store can be confirmed for each of the point services “Waiin Club” and “Cosmetic Members”.
[0060]
The receipt print format is not limited to that shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), the message printed on the receipt is the message of the point service in which the product purchased in the current transaction among all the point services that the customer is enrolled corresponds to the point granting condition. It is good only as well. Also, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the message printed on the receipt is the message of the point service in which the product purchased in the current transaction out of all the point services that the customer has joined does not meet the point granting condition. It is good only as well.
[0061]
By the way, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a mass retailer is shown. However, in a shopping center where a plurality of retail stores are gathered, a POS terminal 2 is installed at the sales floor of each store, and the headquarters of the developer who manages the center By installing a store computer in the present invention, the present invention can be applied to a shopping center. In this way, even if a point service with different point grant conditions is introduced for each store, the points earned by each customer through the point service unique to each store are added together, and the same points are shared within the shopping center. Since the service that the gift certificate which can be used for is issued can be implemented, the effect of attracting customers to the center can be further enhanced.
[0062]
In this case, even if each store issues its own membership card 5, it can be dealt with by sharing the membership number assigned to one customer, so the store's request to give a unique color is also satisfied. It is possible.
[0063]
