Description

  The present invention relates to a product data processing apparatus and a program thereof.

  For example, in a retail store such as a supermarket or a convenience store, if a customer purchases a pre-designated number of the same product, a discount service is provided, or if different products are purchased in a pre-designated combination Introducing a summary discount service that offers discounts to promote sales.

  Here, the former summary discount is referred to as a set discount, and the latter summary discount is referred to as an M & M (mix and match) discount.

  Purchased products in which data is input from an input unit such as a keyboard or a scanner of a conventional electronic cash register or POS terminal (collectively a product data processing device) that processes these summary discounts are products subject to summary discounts If it is a summary discount target product, data relating to the product is registered in the discount information table. Then, it is determined whether or not a summary discount is established based on the data registered in this table, and when it is established, a discount process is performed on the total amount data of purchased products. And, for this summary discount, product data processing that can automatically notify the information of products that are lacking before the summary discount is established based on the information of the summary discount target products registered for sales An apparatus has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, if the customer wants to purchase a product that is lacking in order to establish a summary discount after notifying the product necessary for the conclusion of the summary discount at the cash register, the cashier is quick to avoid congestion. It is necessary to perform input work for missing items.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a product data processing apparatus that enables quick input of products that are lacking in order to establish a summary discount.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. The identifier of the product input in one transaction and the purchase score of the product are compared with information in the privilege storage unit that stores the condition for granting the privilege and the privilege information to be given, and determines whether the condition is satisfied. When the determination means determines that the transaction does not satisfy the privilege granting condition by the determination means, the shortage acquisition means for acquiring the product identifier and the shortage score for satisfying the privilege granting condition. Display means for displaying the product name corresponding to the identifier of the missing product acquired by the shortage acquisition means together with the shortage score, and the shortage product input means for collectively inputting the product displayed by the display means and the shortage score; A product data processing apparatus characterized by comprising:

  An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a POS terminal will be described as an example of the product data processing apparatus.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the POS terminal 50. The POS terminal 50 is provided with a CPU 1 as an arithmetic device / control device. The CPU 1 includes a ROM 3 (Read Only Memory), a RAM 4 (Random Access Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) controller 5, a keyboard controller 7, and a customer display controller via a bus line 2 such as an address bus and a data bus. 9. A store display controller 11, a printer controller 13, a network I / F (INTERFACE) 15, and an I / O (Input / Output) port 16 are connected. The HDD 6, the keyboard 8, the customer display 10, the store display 12, and the printer 14 are connected to each of the controllers described above. Further, a mode switch and a drawer (not shown) are connected to the I / O port 16.

  The ROM 3 stores a program that is read by the CPU 1 to operate the CPU 1 as various functions and fixed data that is a target of data processing by the program. Various memory areas such as a work area serving as a work area for data processing by a program are dynamically formed in the RAM 4.

  The HDD controller 5 reads data and programs stored in a predetermined area of the HDD 6 in response to a command from the CPU 1 and the like, and sends the read data and programs to the bus line 2. Data and programs received from the bus line 2 are stored in a predetermined area of the HDD 6, and read / write control of data etc. to the HDD 6 is performed.

  The keyboard controller 7 processes an input signal from the keyboard 8 and sends a key code corresponding to the operated key to the bus line 2. The keyboard 8 connected to the keyboard controller 7 is provided with a numeric keypad, a PLU key, a subtotal key, a deposit / current total key, a collective purchase key, and the like.

  This collective purchase key is used for batch input of items that are insufficient for establishing a collective discount in the collective discount.

  The customer display controller 9 controls a customer display 10 that displays transaction results to the customer, and receives information based on data received from the bus line 2 in response to a command from the CPU 1 or the like. Display on the screen of the display 10. Similarly, the store display controller 11 controls the screen display of the store display 12 that displays transaction results and the like on the cashier.

  The printer controller 13 controls a printer 14 that includes a print head that prints predetermined information on a sheet and a cutter that cuts the sheet on which the predetermined information is printed. The printer 14 controlled by the printer controller 13 uses long paper stored in a roll shape as printing paper, and prints with a print head in order from the end of the drawn long paper. Is what you do. The information printed by the printing unit is based on data received from the bus line 2 in response to a command from the CPU 1 or the like.

  The I / O port 16 outputs predetermined data to the bus line based on a signal input from a connected mode switch, or starts up a connected drawer in response to a command from the CPU 1 Output a signal. The mode switch is a changeover switch for switching to one of various business modes in the electronic cash register such as “registration”, “inspection”, “settlement”, etc., and performs a switching operation using a key. .

  Further, the HDD 6 stores a PLU file 20, a discount file 21, a transaction file 22, a formation file 23, and a failure file 24.

  The PLU file 20 stores information about products. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, corresponding to the PLU code that is the product identifier, the product name, unit price, and discount code are set in the PLU code area 2001, product name area 2002, unit price area 2003, and discount code, respectively. Store in area 2004. A discount code is an identifier assigned to each type of summary discount. Further, if the third digit from the right of the discount code is “0”, it is a set discount, and if it is “1”, it is an M & M discount, and “000” means that it is not a target product for a summary discount. This PLU file 20 corresponds to a product storage unit. The PLU code corresponds to a product identifier.

  The discount file 21 stores information regarding discounts. As shown in FIG. 3, the discount name, the PLU code, the required number, the number of products, the display 1, the display 2, and the privilege information are respectively corresponding to the discount code that is the identifier of the summary discount. The discount code area 2101, the discount name area 2102, the PLU code area 2103, the required number area 2104, the product number area 2105, the display 1 area 2106, the display 2 area 2107, and the privilege information area 2108 are stored. The discount name is the name of the discount. The PLU code stores the PLU code of the commodities constituting the summary discount. The necessary number stores the number of products corresponding to the PLU code necessary for establishing the summary discount. In the number of products, the number of items of products necessary for establishment of the summary discount is stored. Display 1 is a threshold value. If the set discount purchased product is equal to or greater than the value stored in the display 1, the name of the missing product and the shortage number are displayed on the customer display 10. Display 2 is a threshold value. If the number of items that make up the M & M discount is equal to or greater than the value stored in the display 2, the missing product name and the shortage number are displayed on the customer display 10. The privilege information stores the content of the privilege (50 yen discount, 100 yen discount, etc.). This discount file 21 corresponds to a privilege storage unit.

  The transaction file 22 is a file that stores information related to a product read in one transaction when the product is read. As shown in FIG. 4, the transaction file 22 has a PLU code area 2201, a product name area 2202, and a unit price area 2203 corresponding to the PLU code, and stores the product name, unit price, purchase points, discount code, and status, respectively. , The purchase point area 2204, the discount code area 2205, and the status area 2206 are stored. This status is a status indicating whether or not a summary discount has been established for the product in one transaction. It is assumed that “00” is not a discount product, “01” is a summary discount established, and “02” is a summary discount not established. In addition, the total product price area that stores the total price of the products purchased by the customer, the total discount price area that stores the total price of the summary discount, and the subtotal area that stores the subtotal obtained by subtracting the total discount price from the total product price Also equipped.

  The establishment file 23 stores information on summary discounts established in one transaction. As shown in FIG. 5, in accordance with the discount code, the discount name, privilege information, and establishment number are stored in the discount code area 2301, the discount name area 2302, the privilege information area 2303, and the establishment area 2304, respectively. To do. Further, the number of establishment stores the number of establishment that is the number of establishment of the summary discount.

  In the unsuccessful file 24, product information necessary for establishing a summary discount is stored. As shown in FIG. 6, a discount code area 2401, a shortage product PLU area 2402, a shortage product name area 2403, a unit price area 2404, a shortage quantity area 2405, a display 1 area 2406, a display 2 area 2407, and a flag area 2408. And a privilege information area 2409. Then, in correspondence with the discount code, the PLU of the shortage product, the shortage product name, the unit price of the product, the shortage number of the shortage product, display 1, display 2, flag, and privilege information are stored in each area. The information of the discount code area 2401 is from the discount code area 2205 of the transaction file 22, and the information of the insufficient product PLU area 2402 is from the PLU code area 2103 of the discount file 21, and the shortage product name area 2403. Information from the product name area 2002 of the PLU file 20, information from the unit price area 2404 from the unit price area 2003 from the PLU file 20, and information from the display 1 area 2406 from the display 1 of the discount file 21. From the area 2106, information on the display 2 area 2407 is obtained from the display 2 area 2107 of the discount file 21, and information on the privilege information area 2409 is obtained from the privilege information area 2108 of the discount file 21, respectively. The information stored in the shortage number area 2405 is calculated from the necessary number area 2104 of the discount file 21 and the information of the purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22. Further, the value in the necessary number area 2104 of the discount file 21 may be stored as it is. The flag area 2408 stores a management flag as to whether or not to display a product that is lacking because a summary discount is established on the customer display 10 and the store display 12. When the data in the flag area 2408 is “0”, the shortage is not displayed on the customer display device because 10 and the store display device 12 are collectively discounted. When the data in the flag area 2408 is “1”, a shortage of products is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12 because a summary discount is established.

  Thus, in the POS terminal 50 having the hardware configuration and the file configuration as described above, when the “registration” job is selected as the operation mode, the CPU 1 is based on a preset program. The product data processing shown in FIGS. 7 to 8 is executed. First, the process for reading product data will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as S (step) 1, it is determined whether or not the PLU key is pressed and a PLU code is input. If it is determined that a PLU code has been input (Yes in S1), the number of purchases input with the numeric keypad of the keyboard 8 is stored in a predetermined memory (S2). The input process of the corresponding PLU code when the PLU key is pressed corresponds to the identifier input means. Further, the input process of the number when the numeric key is pressed corresponds to the point input means.

  Subsequently, the PLU code input in S 1 is searched from the PLU code area 2001 of the PLU file 20. When the corresponding PLU code is found, the corresponding product name, unit price, and discount code are read from the product name area 2002, the unit price area 2003, and the discount code area 2004, respectively, and the PLU code area 2201 of the transaction file 22 is read. And the product name area 2202, the unit price area 2203, and the discount code area 2205. Further, the value of the number of purchases stored in S2 is stored in the purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22. When the discount code stored in the discount code area 2204 is “000”, the value of the status area 2206 is “00”, and when the discount code is other than “000”, the value of the status area 2206 is set. Store as “02” (S3).

  Then, in order to determine whether or not the PLU code input in S1 is a summary discount product, the value in the status area 2206 of the transaction file 22 corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 is “00”. Or other than that (S4). If it is determined that the status area 2206 is “00” (No in S4), since it is not a summary discount product, the process returns to S1 to determine the input of the PLU code.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value in the status area 2206 is other than “00” (Yes in S4), since it is a summary discount product, the PLU code input in S1 and the discount in the transaction file 22 are stored. Whether the discount code corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 stored in the code area 2205 is stored in the discount code area 2401 and the insufficient product PLU area 2402 of the unsuccessful file 24, respectively. Judgment is made (S5).

  If it is determined that the PLU code input in S1 or the discount code corresponding to the PLU code is stored in the unsuccessful file 24 (Yes in S5), it is determined whether or not the summary discount is satisfied. (S6). Specifically, the value of the purchase points stored in S2 exceeds the value of the shortage area 2405 of the unsuccessful file 24 corresponding to the PLU code input in S1, and the value of the transaction file 22 When the discount code corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 stored in the discount code area 2205 is not stored in the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24 other than that corresponding to the PLU, the value is It is determined that the pull has been established. The process of S6 corresponds to a determination unit. When it is determined that the discount is established (Yes in S6), the transaction file 22 and the like in S7 described later are updated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the PLU code input in S1 or the discount code corresponding to the PLU code is not stored in the failure file 24 (No in S5), the discount code of the transaction file 22 is stored. The discount code area 2101 of the discount file 21 is searched based on the discount code stored in the area 2205 and corresponding to the PLU code input in S1. Information on the discount code area 2401 is obtained from the discount code area 2205 of the transaction file 22, and information on the insufficient product PLU area 2402 is obtained from the PLU code area 2103 of the discount file 21. The information of the area 2403 is from the product name area 2002 of the PLU file 20, the information of the unit price area 2404 is from the unit price area 2003 of the PLU file 20, and the information of the shortage number area 2404 is from the discount file 21. From the required number area 2104, the information of the display 1 area 2406 is from the display 1 area 2106 of the discount file 21, and the information of the display 2 area 2407 is from the display 2 area 2107 of the discount file 21. The information in the information area 2409 is the value From the privilege information area 2108 of the file 21, we obtain a value corresponding to the discount code. (S7). Then, the information acquired in S7 is stored in the failure file 24 (S8). The process of S7 corresponds to a shortage acquisition unit. Moreover, the process which acquires privilege information from the said privilege information area 2108 of the said discount file 21 in said S7 corresponds to a privilege acquisition means.

  When the process of S8 is completed, the process of S6 is performed to determine whether or not a summary discount is established. If it is determined that the discount has been established (Yes in S6), a discount code corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 is searched from the discount code area 2101 of the discount file 21 and is stored in a predetermined area. Remember. Then, the discount name and privilege information corresponding to the discount code are extracted from the discount name area 2102 and the privilege information area 2108, respectively. The discount code stored in the predetermined area is stored in the discount code area 2301 of the establishment file 23, and the discount name extracted from the discount name area 2102 is stored in the discount name of the establishment file 23. The privilege information stored in the area 2302 and extracted from the privilege information area 2108 is stored in the privilege information area 2303 of the establishment file 23. Subsequently, the status corresponding to the PLU input in S1 stored in the status area 2206 of the transaction file 22 is set to “01”. Further, the discount code stored in the predetermined area is searched from the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24. Then, the shortage product PLU, the shortage product name, the unit price, the shortage quantity, the display 1, the display 2, the flag, and the privilege information corresponding to the discount code are respectively displayed in the discount code area 2401 and the shortage product PLU area 2402. And from the shortage product name area 2403, the unit price area 2404, the shortage quantity area 2405, the display 1 area 2406, the display 2 area 2407, the flag area 2408, and the privilege information area 2409 (S9). .

  Subsequently, the fact that the summary discount has been established is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12 (S10). As information to be displayed at this time, the discount name of the discount name area 2302 stored in the establishment file 23, the privilege information of the privilege information area 2303, and the number of establishment of the establishment number area are displayed. Moreover, you may display only the privilege information newly memorize | stored in said S9.

  If the privilege information for which the summary discount has been established in S10 is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12, does the discount code be stored in the discount code area 2401 of the failure file 24? Judgment is made (S11). If it is determined that it is stored (No in S11), it is determined whether or not the PLU code in S1 has been input since all the summary discounts have been established. If it is determined that a discount code is stored (Yes in S11), since there is a summary discount that has not yet been established, is “1” stored in the flag area 2408 of the unsuccessful file 24? Is determined (S13).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S6 that the summary discount is not established, the shortage number corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 stored in the shortage number area 2405 of the unsuccessful file 24 is stored in S2. Subtract the purchase price of the purchased product. After the subtraction, it is determined whether or not the number that is insufficient is less than or equal to a predetermined number in order to organize the summary discount. Specifically, the third digit from the right of the discount code stored in the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24 is checked. If “0”, set discount, “1” indicates M & M discount. to decide. If it is determined that the discount is set, the numerical value stored in the “shortage number” in the shortage number area 2405 and the “display 1” in the display 1 area 2406 corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 is compared. To do. If it is determined that “insufficient number” <“display 1”, 1 is stored in the flag of the corresponding flag area 2408. If it is determined that the M & M discount is made, a discount code corresponding to the PLU code input in S1 is searched from the discount code 2101 area of the discount file 21 and stored in a predetermined area. Then, the discount code is searched from the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24, and the sum of the shortage numbers corresponding to the discount code in the shortage number area 2405 is calculated and stored in a predetermined area. Then, the item of “Display 2” corresponding to the discount code stored in the predetermined area is compared with this sum. If “insufficient number” <“display 2”, 1 is stored in the flag of the corresponding flag area 2408 (S12).

  Then, it is determined whether 1 is stored in the flag stored in the flag area 2408 of the failed file 24 (S13). If it is stored (Yes in S13), it means that there is a product for which a summary discount will be established soon. Therefore, the shortage product name stored in the shortage product area 2402 of the unsuccessful product file 24 corresponding to the flag 1 The unit price stored in the unit price area 2404 and the shortage number stored in the shortage number area 2405 are displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12 as shown in FIG. 9 (S14). The processing of S14 corresponds to display means. Since the product name to be displayed here is obtained from the PLU file corresponding to the product storage unit, the process of S14 corresponds to the display means. If the flag stored in the flag area 2408 is only 0 (No in S13), the input determination of the PLU code in S1 is performed.

  If no PLU code is input in S1 (No in S1), it is determined whether there is an input of a key signal for the batch purchase key (S15). If it is determined that the key signal of the collective purchase key has been input (Yes in S15), the PLU code of the shortage product PLU area 2402 whose flag stored in the flag area 2408 of the unsuccessful file 24 is “1”, and this All the shortage product names in the discount code area 2401 and the shortage product name area 2403, the unit price in the unit price area 2404, and the shortage number stored in the shortage number area 2405 are extracted. Information extracted from the shortage file 24 is stored in the PLU code 2201, the product name area 2202, the unit price area 2203, the purchase point area 2204, and the discount code area 2204 of the transaction file 22. Then, the information extracted from the failure file 24 is deleted from the failure file 24. Further, the status in the status area 2206 corresponding to the PLU input in the transaction file 22 is changed to “01” (S16). The process of S16 corresponds to an insufficient product input unit. Then, it is determined whether or not a key signal for the subtotal key has been input (S17).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the key signal of the batch purchase key is not input (No in S15), it is determined whether or not the key signal of the subtotal key is input (S17). If it is determined that the key signal of the subtotal key has been input (Yes in S17), subtotal processing described later is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the key signal of the subtotal key is not input (No in S17), the process returns to S1.

  Subsequently, the subtotal processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the key signal of the subtotal key is input in S17, the total amount of products purchased by the customer is calculated from the unit price stored in the unit price area 2203 and the purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22 and the purchase points corresponding to the unit price. And stored in the product total amount area of the transaction file 22. Further, the total amount of discount is calculated from the privilege information in the privilege information area 2304 of the establishment file 23 and the number of establishment of the establishment number area 2304, and stored in the discount total amount area of the transaction file 22. . Then, the value stored in the product total amount area and the value stored in the discount total amount area are subtracted and stored in the subtotal area as a subtotal amount (S51). Then, the value stored in the subtotal amount area is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12 (S52).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the amount of money from the customer has been input using the numeric keypad (S53). If it is determined that the amount is not input (No in S53), it is determined whether or not the key signal of the collective purchase key is input (S54). If it is determined that the key signal of the collective purchase key is not input (No in S54), the process returns to S53 to determine whether or not an amount has been input. If it is determined that the key signal of the batch purchase key has been input (Yes in S54), the PLU code of the shortage product PLU area 2402 in which the flag stored in the flag area 2408 of the unsuccessful file 24 is “1”; Correspondingly, all the shortage product names in the discount code area 2401 and the shortage product name area 2403, the unit price in the unit price area 2404, and the shortage number stored in the shortage number area 2405 are extracted. Information extracted from the shortage file 24 is stored in the PLU code 2201, the product name area 2202, the unit price area 2203, the purchase point area 2204, and the discount code area 2204 of the transaction file 22. Then, the information extracted from the failure file 24 is deleted from the failure file 24. Further, the status in the status area 2206 corresponding to the PLU input in the transaction file 22 is changed to “01” (S55). Then, the subtotal amount in S51 is calculated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the amount has been input using the numeric keypad (Yes in S53), the input amount is temporarily stored in a predetermined area. Then, the difference amount is calculated from the input amount and the amount in the subtotal area. Then, the difference and the value stored in the product total amount area, the value stored in the discount total amount area, the value stored in the subtotal area, the deposited amount stored in the predetermined area, Print data is created from the product name in the product name area 2202 of the transaction file 22, the corresponding unit price in the unit price area 2203, and the purchase points in the purchase point area 2204. 14 to issue a receipt and finish the process.

  Next, the case where a customer and a cashier use this invention is demonstrated.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the B juice set is discounted by 50 yen by buying four B juices. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, when two B juices are purchased, it is displayed that a discount of 50 yen can be obtained if two more are purchased. The customer who sees this tells them to make a verbal purchase and the cashier presses the bulk purchase key. When this collective purchase key is pressed, it becomes possible to input two B juices that are insufficient for the conclusion of a summary discount in a single operation, reducing the operating burden on the cashier and reducing the waiting time of the customer. Can be shortened.

  As described above, each time the cashier inputs a product, the product name for which a summary discount is established is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12 in a short time. In addition, every time a summary discount is established, it is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12. For this reason, the customer can easily grasp the products necessary for the summary discount, and the cashier can input the missing products simply by pressing the collective purchase key, improving operability.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the POS terminal 50 used in the second embodiment, a summary discount key is provided on the keyboard 8 instead of the collective purchase key provided in the first embodiment. After pressing the summary discount key, a discount code is input using the numeric keypad. The other hardware configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In the POS terminal 50, when the “registration” job is selected as the operation mode, the CPU 1 executes the product data process shown in FIG. 10 based on a preset program.

  First, as S101, a PLU code is input, and the number of purchases input by the numeric keypad of the keyboard 8 is stored in a predetermined memory. Then, the PLU code input in S101 is searched from the PLU code area 2001 of the PLU file 20. When the corresponding PLU code is found, the corresponding product name, unit price, and discount code are read from the product name area 2002, the unit price area 2003, and the discount code area 2004, respectively, and the PLU code area 2201 of the transaction file 22 is read. And the product name area 2202, the unit price area 2203, and the discount code area 2205. Further, the value of the number of purchases stored in S101 is stored in the purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22. When the discount code stored in the discount code area 2204 is “000”, the value of the status area 2206 is “00”, and when the discount code is other than “000”, the value of the status area 2206 is set. It is stored as “02” (S102). The process of acquiring the unit price from the PLU file 20 in S102 corresponds to a unit price acquisition unit.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a key signal for the subtotal key has been input (S103). If it is determined that there is no key signal input for the subtotal key (No in S103), the process returns to S101.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the key signal of the subtotal key has been input (Yes in S103), it is determined whether the status in the status area 2206 of the transaction file 22 includes anything other than “00” (S104). If it is determined that only “00” is included (No in S104), the total amount of products purchased by the customer from the unit price stored in the unit price area 2203 and the purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22 and the corresponding purchase points. Is calculated and stored in the product total amount area of the transaction file 22. Further, the total amount of discount is calculated from the privilege information in the privilege information area 2304 of the establishment file 23 and the number of establishment of the establishment number area 2304, and stored in the discount total amount area of the transaction file 22. . And the value memorize | stored in this goods total amount area and the value memorize | stored in the said discount total amount area are subtracted, and it memorize | stores in the said subtotal area as a subtotal amount. Then, the value stored in the subtotal amount area is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12 (S108). The process of S108 corresponds to the obtaining means.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a status other than “00” is stored (Yes in S104), first, the status is stored in the discount code area 2205 whose status in the status area 2206 of the transaction file 22 is “02”. All discount codes are extracted and stored in a predetermined area. Then, the stored discount code is searched from the discount code area 2101 of the discount file 21. Subsequently, the PLU code of the PLU code area 2103 corresponding to the discount code area 2101 is stored in the PLU code area 2201 of the transaction file 22 or, if stored, the necessary file of the discount file 21 It is determined whether the required number in the number area 2104 is satisfied in the corresponding purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22. Then, a discount code for determining that the summary discount has been established is searched from the discount code area 2010 of the discount file 21, and the corresponding discount name and privilege information are retrieved from the discount name area 2102. Extracted from the privilege information area 2108, respectively. Then, the discount code used for the search is stored in the discount code area 2301 of the establishment file 23. Subsequently, the information extracted from the discount file 21 is stored in the discount name area 2302 and the privilege information area 2303 of the establishment file 23, respectively. Then, a predetermined number is added to the established number and stored. If it is determined that the summary discount is not established, the PLU code corresponding to the discount code is extracted from the PLU code area 2103 of the discount file 21. Then, the discount code stored in the predetermined area in the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24, the PLU code of the PLU code area 2103 of the discount file 21 in the shortage product PLU area 2402, The product name in the product name area 2002 of the PLU file 20 in the shortage product name area 2403, the unit price in the unit price area 2003 in the PLU file 20 in the unit price area 2404, and the discount file in the display 1 area 2406 21 from the privilege information area 2108 of the discount file 21, the value of the display 2 area 2107 of the discount file 21 in the privilege information area 2409, the value of the display 1 area 2106 of the discount file 21. , Get and store each. Then, the third digit from the right of the discount code stored in the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24 is checked. If it is “0”, it is determined as a set discount, and if it is “1”, it is determined as an M & M discount. When it is determined that the discount is set, the numerical values stored in the “insufficient number” in the insufficient number area 2405 and the “display 1” in the display 1 area 2406 are compared. If it is determined that “insufficient number” <“display 1”, 1 is stored in the flag of the corresponding flag area 2408. Further, when determining the M & M discount, the required number corresponding to the summary discount code stored in the predetermined area is searched from the required number area 2104 of the discount file 21 and the total of the corresponding required numbers is retrieved. Is calculated and stored in a predetermined area. Then, the item of “Display 2” corresponding to the discount code stored in the predetermined area is compared with this sum. If “insufficient number” <“display 2”, 1 is stored in the flag of the corresponding flag area 2408 (S105).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a discount code is stored in the discount code area 2401 of the failure file 24 (S106). If it is determined that the discount code or the like is not stored in the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24 (No in S106), since all the target products for the summary discount are successful, the discount is established in S108. The amount calculation processing and display processing of the.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a discount code or the like is stored in the discount code area 2401 of the unsuccessful file 24 (Yes in S106), there is a summary discount target product for which a summary discount has not been established. The discount code in the discount code area 2401 corresponding to the flag “1” stored in the flag area 2408 of the unsuccessful file 24, the product name of the shortage product in the shortage product name area 2403, and the shortage number area 2405 , The unit price in the unit price area 2404 and the privilege information in the privilege information area 2409 are displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12. For example, FIG. 11 (S107). If there is no shortage product with the flag “1”, the display process is not performed. Then, the amount calculation processing and display processing in S108 are performed.

  Subsequently, using the numeric keypad, it is determined whether an amount has been input (S109). If it is determined that no amount has been input (No in S109), it is determined whether or not the summary discount key has been pressed (S110). If it is determined that the summary discount key has not been pressed (No in S110), the process returns to S109 to determine whether an amount has been input.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the summary discount key has been pressed (Yes in S110), then the discount code displayed on the customer display 10 or the store display 12 is input using the numeric keypad. (S111). The process of S111 corresponds to a designation unit.

  Then, the discount code input from the discount code area 2401 of the failure file 24 is searched. Then, all the shortage product PLUs, the shortage product names, the unit prices, and the shortage numbers corresponding to the discount code, the shortage product PLU area 2402, the shortage product name area 2403, the unit price area 2404, and the shortage It is obtained from the number area 2405 and stored in the transaction file 22 together with the inputted discount code. At this time, the information of the insufficient product PLU area 2402 is stored in the PLU code area 2201, the information of the insufficient product name area 2403 is stored in the product name area 2202, and the information of the unit price area 2404 is stored in the unit price area 2203. The information of the number area 2405 is stored in the purchase point area, the input discount code is stored in the discount code area 2205, and the status of the status area 2206 is stored as “01”. If the PLU code acquired at this time is already stored in the PLU code area 2201, the purchase point area 2204 stores the sum of the already stored purchase points and the acquired shortage number. Then, the discount code input in S111 is searched from the discount code area 2401 of the insufficient file 24, and the corresponding information is deleted from the unsuccessful file 24. And then. The discount code input in S111 is searched from the discount code area 2101 of the discount file 21, and the discount name and privilege information are acquired from the discount name area 2102 and the privilege information area 2108. To do. Then, the discount code input in S111 is stored in the discount code area 2301 of the establishment file 23, the discount name acquired from the discount name area 2102 in the discount name area 2302, and the privilege information. The privilege information acquired from the privilege information area 2108 is stored in the area 2302 (S112). The process of S112 corresponds to unit input means.

  Subsequently, the total amount of products purchased by the customer is calculated from the unit price stored in the unit price area 2203 and the purchase point area 2204 of the transaction file 22 and the purchase points corresponding to the unit price stored in the unit number area of the transaction file 22. Remember. Further, the total amount of discount is calculated from the privilege information in the privilege information area 2304 of the establishment file 23 and the number of establishment of the establishment number area 2304, and stored in the discount total amount area of the transaction file 22. . And the value memorize | stored in this goods total amount area and the value memorize | stored in the said discount total amount area are subtracted, and it memorize | stores in the said subtotal area as a subtotal amount. Then, the value stored in the subtotal amount area is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12. Further, the product name of the shortage product of the flag “1” stored in the flag area 2408 of the unsuccessful file 24, the shortage number of shortage products, the unit price, and the privilege information together with the discount code and the customer display 10 Displayed on the store display 12. If the product information of the flag “1” is not stored in the unsuccessful file 24, the information on the insufficient product is not displayed (S113).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that an amount has been input (Yes in S109), a difference is calculated from the input amount and the subtotal amount, and print data is created from this amount and the information stored in the transaction file 22 Then, this print data is output to the printer 14, a receipt is issued, and the process is terminated.

  Next, the case where a customer and a cashier use this invention is demonstrated.

  For example, there are a B juice set that discounts 50 yen when purchasing 4 B juices and a bread set that discounts 100 yen when purchasing F bread, G tea, and H cake. Then, the cashier reads one F bread and two B juices as shown in FIG. At this time, the customer screen 10 and the store screen 12 have a discount code “200” and a discount name “Pan Set”, “G tea” which is a product that is insufficient to establish the discount. “H cake” is displayed. Similarly, “B juice” is displayed together with the discount code “001” and the discount name “B juice set”. A customer who sees this verbally tells them that he wants to buy a pan set. In response to this, the cashier presses the summary discount key and inputs the pan set discount code “200” using the value key. Then, “G tea” and “H cake” that are insufficient for the establishment of the discount are input in one operation.

  As described above, the customer can select a privilege that the user himself / herself wants to receive. In addition, since the cashier does not need to input each item desired by the customer, the operability is improved.

  The operation of one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is. For example, the following implementation is conceivable.

  The customer surface display 10 may be provided with a touch panel. As a result, the customer can perform the operation by himself / herself and saves the time and effort of verbal operation.

  In this embodiment, the summary discount is selectively selected after the subtotal key is pressed, but may be performed before the subtotal key is pressed. In this case, instead of S15 and S16, the processing from S110 to S113 may be performed.

  In the second embodiment, the file is updated every time one discount code is input. However, after a plurality of discount codes are input, processing may be performed in a lump.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the summary discount is described using the set discount and the M & M discount as an example, but other discounts (for example, the discount established by purchasing three breads and four teas) Applicable.

  In the embodiment, discounts are given as an example, but other benefits may be given. For example, if you buy 4 juices, you can get a coupon.

  In the present embodiment, the PLU file 20, the discount file 21, the established file 23, and the failed file 24 are stored in the POS terminal 50, but these may be stored in an external device.

  Further, in this embodiment, the discount codes stored in the PLU file 20, the discount file 21, the established file 23, and the unsuccessful file 24 are associated with each other on a one-to-one basis. However, a plurality of PLU codes may be stored in association with one discount code.

  In this embodiment, when inputting a plurality of PLU codes, the “batch purchase key” is used. For example, after the “batch purchase key is pressed”, the operation can be confirmed by pressing the “subtotal key”. Good.

  In this embodiment, for example, the information stored in the failure file 24 is acquired directly from the discount file 21, but it is not necessary to bring it directly.

  Further, in the second embodiment, in this embodiment, a shortage product is input by inputting a discount code. For example, a summary discount name is displayed on the customer display 10 and the store display 12. At the same time, a shortage product may be input by assigning a number to the summary discount name and inputting the number.
