  Each POS terminal is arranged in the order of the POS cash register numbers.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  Since a plurality of POS cash register control units 100 are installed in the store, in order to identify the POS cash register control unit 100, it is common to manage the POS cash register control unit 100 by assigning a POS cash register number.

  When the power is turned on and the POS terminal is started up (step 5-01), the CPU 101 of the POS register control unit 100 reads and executes the program in the storage device 102 and executes the following processing.

  First, the CPU 101 executes initial processing such as clearing of the RAM 103 (step 5-02), and reads and executes application software in the storage device 102.

  Hereinafter, an example in which the CPU 101 sets a buzzer sound based on whether the POS register number is an odd number or an even number will be described.

  When the POS register control unit 100 is started up, the CPU 101 reads the POS register number 102b stored in the storage device 102 (step 5-03) and confirms whether the POS register number is an even number or an odd number. (Step 5-04).

  If the POS register number is an odd number, the CPU 101 reads the odd register buzzer data 2A (see FIG. 2) in the storage device 102 and stores the odd register buzzer data 2A in the buzzer information memory 103a of the RAM 103 (step 5-05). On the other hand, if the POS register number is an even number, the even register buzzer data 2B is read, and the even register buzzer data 2B is stored in the buzzer information memory 103a (step 5-06).

  Subsequently, the CPU 101 executes the following process in the startup process.

  The CPU 101 reads stationary scanner buzzer data from the buzzer information memory 103a.

The CPU 101 transmits the stationary scanner buzzer data to the stationary scanner unit 280 in the form of a command (step 5-07).
In the stationary scanner unit 280, when stationary scanner buzzer data is transmitted, the scanner buzzer control unit 250 receives the stationary scanner buzzer data, and uses the buzzer volume and frequency data included in the stationary scanner buzzer data as buzzer information. Store.

  When a normal POS register operation is performed by the operator, the following processing is executed.

  First, the operator uses the scanner unit unit 200 to register product information purchased by a customer.

  Specifically, the operator uses the stationary scanner unit 201 of the scanner unit unit 200 to scan a barcode attached to a product purchased by a customer, and search for product information such as a price and a product name. Register the barcode data.

  At this time, when the stationary scanner unit 280 recognizes the barcode, the stationary scanner unit 280 rings the confirmation sound output unit 270 to notify the operator and the customer that the barcode has been recognized.

  At this time, since the stationary scanner buzzer data of the volume and frequency allocated depending on whether the POS register number is an even number or an odd number is stored in the scanner buzzer control unit 250 by the above-described processing, the even number register is converted into the even register buzzer data. The confirmation sound output unit 270 rings with the sound corresponding to the odd register and the sound corresponding to the odd register buzzer data.

  Further, in the POS register control unit 100, the buzzer control unit 150, for example, when the operation unit such as the touch panel unit 120 or the keyboard unit 130 is operated, the POS register buzzer sound data included in the set data in the buzzer information memory 103a ( A current value corresponding to the frequency and volume) is determined, and a drive current having the current value is supplied to the buzzer 160 to output a buzzer sound.

  Further, in the scanner unit 200, the buzzer control unit 220, for example, when the operation unit such as the touch panel unit 204 or the keyboard unit 203 is operated, the scanner unit buzzer sound data included in the set data in the buzzer information memory 103a ( A current value corresponding to the frequency and volume) is determined, and a drive current having the current value is supplied to the buzzer 230 to output a buzzer sound.

  According to the present embodiment, the confirmation sound of the stationary scanner unit 201 and the buzzer sounds of the buzzer sound output unit 170 and the buzzer sound output unit 260 are automatically set according to the POS register number that is the designated data.

  For this reason, the work of individually setting a plurality of sounds can be reduced, and the confirmation sound data and the buzzer sound data need not be transmitted to the POS terminal, so that the data transmission load can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, since the POS register number is used as the designation data, the POS register number for identifying the POS register can be used as information for switching between the confirmation sound and the buzzer sound.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the first embodiment described above, the POS register number is used to divide the POS terminal into an even register and an odd register, and a confirmation sound and a buzzer sound are set. However, in operation at a mass retailer where a plurality of POS terminals operate, In some cases, not all POS terminals having POS register numbers are used, and only some POS terminals are used.

  In this case, if the confirmation sound and the buzzer sound are separated at the even number register and the odd number register, there is a possibility that POS terminals that emit the same sound may be arranged.

  Specifically, the assigning unit 300c1 arranges the POS register numbers received from the POS terminals in order (ascending order or descending order), and alternately assigns odd number information and even number information to the numbers as designation data.

  The designated data transmitting unit 300c2 transmits the designated data (odd number information, even number information) assigned by the assigning unit 300c1 to the POS terminal to which the designated data is assigned.

  When the CPU 101 of the POS cash register control unit 100 receives designated data from the store controller 300, the CPU 101 reads set data designated by the designated data from the storage device 102 and stores the set data in the buzzer information memory 103a of the RAM 103. .

  Next, the operation will be described.

  When the power is turned on and the POS terminal starts up, the CPU (control unit) 101 of the POS register control unit 100 reads and executes the program in the storage device 102 and executes the following processing.

  First, the CPU 101 executes initial processing such as clearing of the RAM 103, and reads and executes application software in the storage device 102.

  When the POS cash register control unit 100 is started up, the CPU 101 reads the POS cash register number 102 b stored in the storage device 102 and transmits the POS cash register number to the store controller 300.

  When the CPU 300c of the store controller 300 receives the POS register number, it manages which POS terminal is currently operating using a buzzer sound table as shown in FIG.

  The allocation unit 300c1 arranges the POS register numbers in ascending order as shown in FIG. Assign.

  When the allocation is completed, the designated data transmission unit 300c2 transmits the odd number information or the even number information allocated by the allocation unit 300c1 to the POS terminal to which the information is allocated.

  When the odd number information is received from the store controller 300, the CPU 101 of the POS cash register control unit 100 reads out the odd register buzzer data 2A from the storage device 102 and stores the odd register buzzer data 2A in the buzzer information memory 103a of the RAM 103. When even number information is received from 300, the even number riser data 2B is read from the storage device 102, and the even number riser data 2B is stored in the buzzer information memory 103a of the RAM 103.

  The subsequent operation is the same as in the first embodiment.

  According to the present embodiment, since the confirmation sound and the buzzer sound are automatically set according to the designated data, the work of individually setting a plurality of sounds can be reduced, and the confirmation sound data and the buzzer sound data can be reduced. Are not transmitted to the POS terminal, and the data transmission load can be reduced.
