As another example, an operating system, a computer program for processing product sales data, etc. may be downloaded from an external device via a network server (not shown) connected to the local communication line network 301 and installed in the HDD 251. . The operating system and the merchandise sales data processing program are all or partially copied to the RAM 255 when the store controller 201 is activated.

  FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a gift master file 261 accessible by the store controller 201. The gift master file 261 is installed in the HDD 251 of the store controller 201 as an example, and is stored and saved in an external storage device (not shown) as another example. The gift master file 261 specifies, for each plan number 261a assigned to each product gift plan, the name 261b of the product gift plan, the start 261c and the end 261d for specifying the plan holding period of the product gift plan, and the product to be presented. The product code 261e, the presentation conditions 261f of the presentation conditions 1 to N, and the remarks column 261g are associated with each other. In the presenting condition 261f, one or two or more presenting conditions from 1 to N, for example, a total purchase amount, a mix and match establishment condition, a combination discount establishment condition for the same product, and the like can be set. The store controller 201 can freely set data by using the keyboard 204 and the pointing device 205 for each item 261a to 261g of the gift master file 261.

  Next, the operation will be described.

  When the POS terminal 101 is activated, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 notifies the store controller 201 of the activation of the POS terminal 101 via the local area network 301.

  In response to this, the CPU 253 of the store controller 201 accesses the gift master file 261. The store controller 201 acquires data of the current date and time measured by the clock circuit built in the CPU 253, and presents the product including the acquired date and time in the plan holding period (specified by the initial period 261c and the final period 261d). From the presentation master file 261, data of a name 261b, an initial period 261c and an end period 261d (planning period), a product code 261e for specifying a product to be presented, and a presentation condition 261f for defining a presentation condition are provided from the presentation master file 261. get. For the sake of convenience, in the present specification, such acquired data is abbreviated as first gift processing data. Similarly, the store controller 201 names the next product presentation plan 261b for the product presentation plan (specified by the plan number 261a) including today in the plan holding period (specified by the start period 261c and the end period 261d). From the presentation master file 261, data of a product code 261e for specifying a product to be presented and a presentation condition 261f for defining a presentation condition are acquired from the start 261c and the final 261d (plan holding period). For the sake of convenience, in the present specification, such acquired data is abbreviated as second gift processing data. Thereafter, the CPU 253 of the store controller 201 transmits and outputs the first gift processing data and the second gift processing data to the POS terminal 101 that has transmitted the activation notification via the local communication line network 301.

  When the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 receives the first gift processing data and the second gift processing data via the communication interface 157, the CPU 153 stores and saves these data in the work area of the RAM 155. The gift processing data stored and saved in this way becomes a gift record 161 (see FIG. 6). The first gift record 161-1 corresponds to the first gift processing data, and the second gift record 161-2 corresponds to the second gift data.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing gift records 161 (first gift record 161-1 and second gift record 161-2) stored and stored in the POS terminal 101. In the present record 161, the first present record 161-1 is stored and stored in the area 1, and the second present record 161-2 is stored and stored in the area 2. The presentation record 161 stored and stored in association with the area 161a composed of the area 1 and the area 2 is data of a name 161b, an initial period 161c and an end period 161d (planning holding period), a product code 161e, and a presentation condition 161f. .

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process for creating the current guidance sentence and the next guidance sentence in the POS terminal 101. First, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 searches for a PLU file (price lookup file) as a product data file (not shown), and corresponds to the product code 161e of the product to be presented stored and saved in the area 1 in the gift record 161. The product name (text data) to be acquired is acquired (step S11). The PLU file may be stored in each POS terminal 101 locally, or may be acquired via the local communication network 301 by accessing a host device such as the store controller 201, for example.

  Next, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 creates a plan holding period (text data) with reference to the start period 161c and the end period 161d of the area 1 in the gift record 161 (step S12).

  Next, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 creates a conditional statement (text data) with reference to the gift condition 161f of area 1 in the gift record 161 (step S13).

  Then, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101, the name (text data) set in the name 161b of the area 1 in the gift record 161, the product name (text data) acquired in step S11, and the plan holding created in step S12. The period (text data) and the conditional sentence (text data) created in step S13 are combined to create the current guidance sentence (step S14). The current guidance sentence created in this way is generated by applying various text data obtained and created in a format prepared in advance. As an example, this guide is created as follows: “Tofu Fair: Tofu Fair will be presented to customers who purchase more than 2,000 yen for one week from November 1!” In the case of this guidance text, the “tofu fair” is the name (text data) set in the name 161b of area 1 in the gift record 161, and is “one week from November 1”. Is the plan holding period (text data) created in step S12, and “Need to purchase customers over 2,000 yen” is the conditional statement (text data) created in step S13. “Tofu” is the product name (text data) acquired in step S11. The text “Gift!” Is format data prepared in advance by the POS terminal 101.

  Next, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 searches for a PLU file (price lookup file) (not shown), and stores the product name (text data) corresponding to the product code 161e of the product to be presented stored in the area 2 in the gift record 161. ) Is acquired (step S15).

  Next, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 creates a plan holding period (text data) with reference to the start period 161c and the end period 161d of the area 2 in the gift record 161 (step S16).

  Next, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 creates a conditional statement (text data) with reference to the gift condition 161f of area 2 in the gift record 161 (step S17).

  Then, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 sets the name (text data) set in the name 161b of the area 2 in the gift record 161, the product name (text data) acquired in step S15, and the plan holding created in step S16. A period (text data) and the conditional sentence (text data) created in step S17 are combined to create the next guidance sentence (step S18). The next guidance sentence created in this way is generated by applying various text data acquired and created in a format prepared in advance. As an example, the next guidance sentence will be created as follows: “The next egg fair is a week from November 8th, and customers who purchase more than 1,500 yen will give away 1 pack of eggs!” In the case of the next guidance sentence, “egg fair” is the name (text data) set in the name 161b of area 2 in the gift record 161, and is “one week from November 8”. Is the plan holding period (text data) created in step S16, and "Need to customers who purchase over 1,500 yen" is the conditional statement (text data) created in step S17, “One pack” is the product name (text data) acquired in step S15. The text “Next time is ...” and the text “Gift!” Are the format data prepared in advance by the POS terminal 101.

  The current guidance sentence created in step S14 described above and the next guidance sentence created in step S18 are temporarily stored in the RAM 155 (step S14 and step S18).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of merchandise sales data processing for one transaction at the POS terminal 101. In the product registration mode, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 is on standby for determining whether or not a product code has been input (step S101). When the CPU 153 determines the input of the product code from the barcode reader 111 or the keyboard 104 (Y in step S101), the CPU 153 searches the PLU file for the unit price corresponding to the input product code, and the searched unit price is input. Along with the product code, the transaction data is temporarily stored in the RAM 155 (step S102). Then, the temporarily stored transaction data is displayed on the operator display 105 and the customer display 107 (step S103), and it is determined whether or not the subtotal key included in the keyboard 104 has been pressed (step S104). CPU 153 repeats the processing from step S101 to step S104 until it is determined that the subtotal key is pressed (Y in step S104).

  If the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 determines that the subtotal key is pressed (Y in step S104), the CPU 153 determines whether there is a commodity to be presented in the transaction data temporarily stored in the RAM 155 (step S105). This determination is made by comparing and contrasting the product code included in the transaction data with the product code stored in the product code 161e of the product to be presented in area 1 of the gift record 161.

  If the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 determines that there is no commodity to be presented in the transaction data temporarily stored in the RAM 155 (N in step S105), for example, pressing a deposit / cash key provided in the keyboard 104, etc. On the premise of the tightening designation operation (Y in step S109), the transaction processing for one transaction is executed (step S110), and then the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 determines that there is a gift target product in the transaction data temporarily stored in the RAM 155 (Y in step S105), the CPU 153 determines whether the transaction data meets the gift conditions. (Step S106). This determination is made by determining whether or not the current transaction data satisfies the presenting condition 161f in the area 1 of the presenting record 161. For example, if the purchase total amount is set to 2,000 yen or more as the gift condition 161f, the purchase total amount in the current transaction data is referred to and whether or not the condition of 2,000 yen or more is satisfied The determination is made in S106. In this case, whether or not to include the amount of the gift target product in the amount of 2,000 yen is appropriately set in the presenting conditions 161f prepared from the presenting conditions 1 to N.

  As a result of the determination in step S106, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 determines that the current transaction data does not conform to the presenting conditions (N in step S106), and assumes a tightening designation operation (Y in step S109). After the transaction accounting process is executed (step S110), the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 determines that the current transaction data conforms to the presenting condition as a result of the determination in step S106 (Y in step S106), the subtraction process of the presenting target product is performed. Execute (Step S107), execute transaction data re-display processing (Step S108), execute the transaction processing of one transaction (Step S110) after assuming the closing designation operation (Y in Step S109), and then process Exit. The subtraction processing of the gift target product executed in step S107 is performed for the product specified by the product code 161e of the gift target product in area 1 of the gift record 161, for the product searched from the PLU file based on the product code. This is the process of subtracting the unit price from the transaction price. In this case, the amount of consumption tax for the product is also reduced.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of the flow of accounting processing for one transaction in step S110 in FIG. In the transaction processing of one transaction in step S110 in FIG. 8, the CPU 153 of the POS terminal 101 first determines whether or not the processing in step S107 in FIG. 8, ie, the subtraction processing has been executed for the gift target product (step S110). -1).

  As a result of the determination in step S110-1, if it is determined that the subtraction process has not been executed for the gift target product (N in step S110-1), the CPU 153 sets the sales memory (see FIG. The transaction data generated in step S102 of FIG. 8 is registered in (not shown) (step S110-2). Then, the normal receipt format is called from the RAM 155 (step S110-3), the transaction data is developed in the called receipt format (step S110-4), and the receipt printer 106 is driven and controlled to execute a receipt print issuing process. (Step S110-5). At this time, the drawer 103 opening process of the drawer 102 is executed as necessary (step S110-6). Thus, the accounting process for one transaction in step S110 in FIG. 8 is completed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined as a result of the determination in step S110-1 that the subtraction process has been executed for the gift target product (Y in step S110-1), the CPU 153 is set in a partial area of the RAM 155. The transaction data after the subtraction process in step S107 of FIG. 8 is registered in a sales memory (not shown) (step S110-7). Then, the receipt format for the gift process is called from the RAM 155 (step S110-8), and the transaction data after the subtraction process is expanded into the called receipt format for the gift process (step S110-9). Subsequently, the current guidance text and the next guidance text (see step S14 and step S18 in FIG. 7) temporarily stored in the RAM 155 are expanded with respect to the called receipt processing format (step S110-). 10). Thereafter, the receipt printer 106 is driven to execute a receipt print issuing process (step S110-5). At this time, the drawer 103 opening process of the drawer 102 is executed as necessary (step S110-6). Thus, the accounting process for one transaction in step S110 in FIG. 8 is completed.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic view illustrating an example of a receipt that is printed and issued when a gift process is performed during the merchandise sales data process of one transaction. The receipt R illustrated in FIG. 10 shows an example in which a product A that is 650 yen, a product B that is 500 yen, a product C that is 980 yen, and tofu that is 98 yen are purchased. In this case, tofu is a gift target product. Therefore, in the receipt R illustrated in FIG. 10, “tofu ¥ 98” is printed and then “tofu gift ¥ -98” is printed, indicating that the tofu has been subtracted. That is, on the receipt R, information on the transaction progress SH indicating that the amount of the gift target product has been subtracted is printed. The printed contents of such a receipt indicate that the amount of the gift target product has been subtracted in the process of developing the transaction data after the subtraction process into the receipt process receipt format called in step S110-9 in FIG. This is realized by expanding the transaction progress information into a receipt format for gift processing.

  In addition, on the receipt shown in FIG. 10, this guidance PG will be printed as “Tofu Fair November 1st to present customers with purchases of 2,000 yen or more for a week!” Is an egg fair, and the next guidance NG will be printed as a gift for customers who purchased over 1,500 yen for one week from November 8! The current guidance sentence PG and the next guidance sentence NG are the current guidance sentence and the next guidance sentence (see step S14 and step S18 in FIG. 7) temporarily stored in the RAM 155, and step S110 in FIG. This is realized by expanding to the receipt processing receipt format called in -9.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a product targeted for product sales data processing for each transaction includes a product to be presented that satisfies the gifting conditions, the amount of the product to be presented is Since the merchandise sales data processing is executed after subtraction, it is possible to support a sales technique of presenting a specific merchandise when a predetermined condition is satisfied, thereby contributing to the improvement of business efficiency.
