Next, the screen displayed on the display 16 of each data processing terminal 1 and the operation of each data processing terminal 1 will be described.
[Order entry screen]
First, the order input screen 100 displayed on the display 16 of the data processing terminal 1 using the master file 20, the image file 21, and the allocation file 22 and the processing executed when the screen 100 is displayed will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic configuration diagram of the order input screen 100. The order input screen 100 includes a department area 101, a menu area 102, an order display area 103, a total area 104, an order button 105 for declaring the start of order input, an accounting button 106 for declaring the accounting of ordered menu items, and various function settings. The function setting button 107 for declaring the start of the order, the order transmission button 108 for declaring the order transmission to the kitchen printer 2 or the station 3, and the like, are displayed in the department area 101 and the menu area 102. A button 105, an accounting button 106, a function setting button 107, and an order transmission button 108 are screen components that can be operated by touching the touch panel 17.

  Department area 101 includes “Wazen”, “Japanese and Western foods”, “Kenna and Salad”, “Sushi”, “Nabe”, “Udon & Soba”, “One dish”, “Desert”, “Drink”, etc. A button for selecting a department is arranged. In the menu area 102, buttons corresponding to menu items belonging to the department selected in the department area 101 are arranged. Each button of the menu area 102 is arranged at a position indicated by each record of the allocation file 22 corresponding to the department selected in the department area 101, and the master file is based on the menu code of the record on the layout. 20 and a menu name and an image specified from the image file 21 are attached. When a button in the menu area 102 is operated, product data of a menu item corresponding to the button is input.

  In the order display area 103, the names and unit prices of menu items included in the product data input by operating the buttons arranged in the menu area 102 are displayed. The total area 104 displays the total number of menu items displayed in the order display area 103 and the total amount.

When the order input screen 100 having such a configuration is displayed, the CPU 10 executes processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 7 according to the control program stored in the memory 11.
In this process, first, the CPU 10 waits until an operation is performed (No in step S102) while accepting a contact operation on the order input screen 100 (step S101: operation means). When an operation is performed on the order input screen 100 (Yes in step S102), the CPU 10 determines the type of the operation (step S103). Operations on the order input screen 100 are roughly classified into operations on buttons arranged in the menu area 102, operations on the accounting button 106, and operations on other screen components.

  When the operation is an operation of a button arranged in the menu area 102 (“menu item designation” in step S103), the CPU 10 inputs the product data of the menu item corresponding to the operated button (step S104: Product data input means). Specifically, the menu code assigned to the operated button in the assignment file 22 is specified, the record including the specified menu code is specified from the master file 20, and the product data indicated by the specified record is stored in the memory 11. Is stored in the work area for storing product data formed in When the product data is input in this way, the CPU 10 additionally displays the menu name and unit price included in the product data in the order display area 103, and displays the total score and the total price of the menu items displayed in the order display area 103. Calculate and display in the total area 104 (step S105). Thereafter, the process returns to step S101 to wait for the next operation.

  On the other hand, when the operation on the order input screen 100 is the other operation (“other” in step S103), the CPU 10 executes a process corresponding to the operation (step S106). For example, when the operation is a button arranged in the department area 101, the layout of the menu area 102 is changed based on the department assignment file 22 indicated by the operated button, and the order transmission button 108 is operated. The product data stored in the work area that is not transmitted to the kitchen printer 2 and the station 3 is transmitted to the kitchen printer 2 and the station 3 via the communication I / F 12. After executing the process according to the operation in this manner, the CPU 10 returns to the process of step S101 and waits for the next operation.

  On the other hand, when the operation on the order input screen 100 is an operation of the accounting button 106 (“Accounting” in Step S103), the CPU 10 transmits an accounting command to the POS terminal 4 via the communication I / F 12 (Step S107). Thereafter, the work area is cleared, a series of processing is terminated, and an operation by the next customer is awaited.

  When the POS terminal 4 receives the accounting command, the POS terminal 4 reads out the product data input by the data processing terminal 1 from the station 3 and executes accounting processing. In this accounting process, payment for payment, calculation of change, issuance of receipts, and the like are performed.

[Menu assignment screen]
Next, processing for changing the layout of buttons arranged in the menu area 102 of the order input screen 100 will be described. When the function setting button 107 on the order input screen 100 is touched, the data processing terminal 1 shifts to a setting mode in which various settings are made. Further, in this setting mode, when the setting of the menu area 102 is selected, the data in the assigned file 22 of each department is cleared and the assigned flag in each record of the master file 20 is set to “0”. The menu assignment screen 200 shown in FIG.

  The illustrated menu assignment screen 200 includes a department area 201, a menu area 202, a master data area 203, a scroll button group 204, a return button 205 for closing the menu assignment screen 200 and displaying the order input screen 100, and a menu assignment screen. A confirmation button 206 for confirming the setting executed at 200 is provided.

  Similar to the department area 101 on the order input screen 100, the department area 201 is provided with buttons for selecting each department. The menu area 202 is an area for setting the layout of the menu area 102 of the order input screen 100, and is divided into 4 rows and 5 columns by default. Each section divided in this way is defined as BLnm (n: 1 to 4 rows, m: 1 column to 5 columns).

  In the master data area 203, among the product data indicated by each record of the master file 20, a list of items belonging to the department selected in the department area 201 is displayed. In the illustrated example, “drink” is selected in the department area 201. Therefore, in the master data area 203, the product data indicated by each record in which the department number of the master file 20 is “01” corresponding to the drink is listed together with the images specified from the image file 21 by the image number of each record. It is displayed. The scroll button group 204 includes buttons for scrolling up and down the list display of the master data area 203. By operating this scroll button group 204, even if data belonging to the department selected in the department area 201 cannot be displayed at once in the master data area 203, the displayed data can be scrolled and viewed as appropriate. Can do.

When the menu assignment screen 200 having such a configuration is displayed, the CPU 10 executes processing according to the flowchart of FIG. 9 according to the control program stored in the memory 11.
In this process, first, the CPU 10 is in a state of accepting a contact operation on the menu assignment screen 200 (step S201), and waits until some operation is performed (No in step S202). When an operation is performed on the menu assignment screen 200 (Yes in step S202), the CPU 10 determines the type of the operation (step S203). Operations on the menu assignment screen 200 are roughly divided into operations for dragging and dropping data displayed in a list in the master data area 203 to the menu area 202, operations for the confirm button 206, and operations for other screen components.

  When the operation is a drag and drop operation to the menu area 202 of the data displayed in the list in the master data area 203 (“D & D” in step S203), the CPU 10 designates the master data area 203 in the drag and drop operation. The menu code of the recorded data is described in the record corresponding to the drop destination section in the assignment file 22 of the department selected in the department area 201 (step S204). Further, the CPU 10 sets the assigned flag of the record of the master file 20 corresponding to the menu code to “1” indicating assigned (step S205). Then, the display of the menu area 202 and the master data area 203 is updated using the allocation file 22 and the master file 20 after the processes of steps S204 and S205 (step S206). At this time, a button corresponding to the product data designated from the master data area 203 in the drop-and-drag operation is arranged in the drop-destination section in the menu area 202, and the designated data in the master data area 203 is displayed. The letters “Done” indicating that the assignment has been completed are added (see FIGS. 11 and 13). After changing the layout of the menu area 202 in this way, the CPU 10 returns to the process of step S201 and waits for the next operation.

  On the other hand, when the operation on the menu assignment screen 200 is the other operation (“other” in step S203), the CPU 10 executes a process corresponding to the operation (step S207). For example, in the case of an operation of a button arranged in the department area 201, data having the department number of the department indicated by the operated button is extracted from the master file 20 and displayed in a list in the master data area 203. If the return button 205 is operated, the change made to the allocation file 22 is invalidated, the menu allocation screen 200 is closed, and the order input screen 100 is displayed. After executing the process according to the operation in this way, the CPU 10 returns to the process of step S201 and waits for the next operation.

  On the other hand, when the operation on the menu assignment screen 200 is the operation of the confirmation button 206 (“confirmation” in step S203), the CPU 10 validates the changes made to the assignment file 22, closes the menu assignment screen 200, and orders. The input screen 100 is displayed. In the menu area 102 of the order input screen 100 displayed at this time, buttons based on the allocation file 22 after being changed on the menu allocation screen 200 are arranged.

  Note that the drag-and-drop operation also serves as designation of arbitrary product data from the master data area 203 and designation of a position where a button corresponding to the designated product data is arranged on the menu area 202. . That is, the processing of the CPU 10 that accepts the drag-and-drop operation constitutes product data designation means and position designation means in the present embodiment.

The process of assigning menu items to the menu area 202 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 10, when the “blended coffee” data displayed in the master data area 203 is dragged and dropped onto the section BL11 of the menu area 202, it corresponds to the section BL11 of the allocation file 22 of “drink”. A menu code of “Blend Coffee” is described in the record (step S204). Further, the assigned flag of the record of the master file 20 corresponding to the menu code of “Blend coffee” is set to “1” (step S205). As a result, as shown in FIG. 11, a button corresponding to “Blend coffee” is arranged in the section BL11 of the menu area 202, and “completed” is displayed in the data corresponding to “Blend coffee” in the master data area 203. Is added (step S206). The buttons arranged in the menu area 202 include a menu name described in a record specified from the master file 20 by the menu code of “Blend Coffee”, and an image specified from the image file 21 by the image number of the record. Is attached.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, when the “lemon tea” data displayed in the master data area 203 is dragged and dropped onto the section BL21 of the menu area 202, it corresponds to the section BL21 of the allocation file 22 of “drink”. The menu code of “lemon tea” is described in the record to be executed (step S204). Further, the assigned flag of the record of the master file 20 corresponding to the menu code of “lemon tea” is set to “1” (step S205). As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, a button corresponding to “lemon tea” is arranged in the section BL21 of the menu area 202, and “completed” is displayed in the data corresponding to “lemon tea” in the master data area 203. Is added (step S206). The buttons arranged in the menu area 202 include a menu name described in a record specified from the master file 20 by the menu code of “Lemon tea”, an image specified from the image file 21 by the image number of the record. Is attached.

  When the allocated data is dragged and dropped into the menu area 202, two buttons related to the same product are arranged in the menu area 202. In this case, if two buttons related to the same product are arranged in adjacent sections, these buttons are combined into one. For example, in the state shown in FIG. 13, it is assumed that “lemon tea” data displayed in the master data area 203 is dragged and dropped onto the section BL22 of the menu area 202. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, the button arranged in the section BL21 and the button to be newly arranged in the section BL22 are combined to form one button over the sections BL21 and BL22.

  Through such operations, the user assigns menu items to the sections BL11 to BL45 of the menu area 202. When the confirmation button 206 is operated, the order input screen 100 having the menu area 102 in which buttons are arranged based on the assignment file 22 after the assignment work is displayed on the display 16.

[Distribution function and update function]

It is realized by doing.
That is, the CPU 10 of the data processing terminal 1 (distribution side) whose data of the allocation file 22 has been changed through the processing using the menu allocation screen 200 uses the allocation file 22 stored in its own memory 11 as the communication I / F 12. Then, the data is distributed to another data processing terminal 1 via the LAN 5 (step S301).

  The CPU 10 of each data processing terminal 1 waits for reception of the allocation file 22 distributed as described above from the other data processing terminals 1 in parallel with processing such as order input (No in step S302). When the allocation file 22 transmitted from another data processing terminal 1 is received (Yes in step S302), the CPU 10 of the data processing terminal 1 stores the allocation file stored in its own memory 11 with the received allocation file 22 22 is overwritten (step S303). Further, the CPU 10 of the data processing terminal 1 updates the display of the menu area 102 of the order input screen 100 displayed on its own display 16 using the overwritten allocation file 22 (step S304). Thereafter, the CPU 10 of the data processing terminal 1 returns to the process of step S302 and waits for the allocation file 22 to be received again.

  As described above, when the layout of the menu area 102 of the order input screen 100 is changed by the operation of one data processing terminal 1, the menu area 102 of the order input screen 100 displayed on the display 16 of the other data processing terminal 1. The layout of is changed synchronously.

  Note that the processing in step S301 constitutes distribution means for distributing the information indicating the arrangement state of the screen components with respect to the order input screen 100, that is, the allocation file 22 to other data processing terminals 1 via the communication I / F 12. Further, the processes in steps S304 and S305 are performed on the order input screen 100 displayed on the display 16 according to the received allocation file 22 when the allocation file 22 is received from another data processing terminal 1 via the communication I / F 12. An updating means for updating the arrangement of the screen parts is configured.

  As described above, according to the data processing terminal 1 in the present embodiment, the arrangement of buttons for inputting product data on the order input screen 100 can be changed by an operation on the data processing terminal 1. Therefore, it is possible to design a layout with a high degree of freedom, such as changing the arrangement order of buttons in accordance with changes in sales products.

  The arrangement of the buttons can be changed by a simple operation using the touch panel 17 provided on the display surface of the display 16. Therefore, even a person unfamiliar with the operation of the data processing terminal 1 can easily learn the operation related to the button arrangement change, and the work time required for the button arrangement change can be shortened.

  Further, when the arrangement of the buttons is changed, the allocation file 22 is automatically distributed to the other data processing terminal 1, and the button arrangement on the order input screen 100 of the data processing terminal 1 of the distribution destination is in accordance with the allocation file 22. Be changed. Therefore, if the button arrangement on the order input screen 100 is changed in any data processing terminal 1 in the ordering system, the change is reflected in the other data processing terminals 1 in the system. There is no need to work on the terminal 1 individually.
