FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a receipt printed and issued by the POS terminal.

  In this embodiment, a POS (Point of Sales) terminal 1 is connected to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 2 via a bus line 3, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 4, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 5, and a print control unit. 6, a hard disk device (shown as “HDD” in FIG. 1) 7, a display 8, a keyboard 9, a scanner 10, and a communication unit 11.

  The ROM 4 stores data in a fixed manner, and a program for performing initial processing when the power of the POS terminal 1 is turned on is stored although no detailed explanation is given. The RAM 5 is provided with various areas to be described later, an area for storing a program, a work area used for executing the program, and the like. The print control unit 6 performs control for printing a receipt or a receipt by the printing unit 12. The hard disk device 7 stores application programs and the like that are expanded in the RAM 5. The display 8 is a liquid crystal display, for example, and displays various information. Although the display device may have two display devices on the clerk side and the customer side, detailed description is omitted. The keyboard 9 has keys to be described later and other necessary keys. The scanner 10 is for reading a bar code provided on a product. The communication unit 11 is connected to the server 13 via, for example, a LAN (Local Area Network) line. The server 13 stores product information such as product names and unit prices corresponding to barcodes provided for each product and read by the scanner 10.

  The RAM 5 includes a detail file 5a for storing product information received from the server 13, a payment type file 5b for storing the payment amount for each payment type paid by the customer, and a print buffer 5c used for printing receipts and receipts. Is provided.

  The keyboard 9 includes a numeric keypad 9a including numbers 0 to 9, a subtotal key 9b for displaying the total amount of products purchased by the customer, a current key 9c for declaring payment in cash, and a credit card. A credit key 9d for declaring payment, a gift certificate key 9e for declaring payment with a gift certificate, and a receipt key 9f for instructing the issuance of a receipt. The numeric keypad 9a is used before the current key 9c, the credit key 9d, and the gift certificate key 9e in order to input the amount to be paid with cash, a credit card or a gift certificate.

  Next, the operation of the POS terminal 1 will be described. The process of FIG. 4 is a process in a so-called registration mode in which sales of merchandise are counted after the POS terminal 1 is turned on and initialization is completed.

  First, it is determined whether or not the barcode provided on the product is read by the scanner 10 (Act 1). If the barcode is read by the scanner 10, the product information is inquired of the server 13 by the code of the read barcode. (Act 2), the product name and price as a result of the inquiry are stored and saved in the detail file 5a (Act 3), and the process returns to Act 1. If it is not read by the scanner 10, it is determined whether or not the subtotal key 9b is pressed (Act 4). If the subtotal key 9b is pressed, the total price of the product stored in the detail file 5a is displayed on the display 8. (Act5) and return to Act1. If it is determined in Act 4 that the subtotal key 9b has not been pressed, it is determined whether or not the current total key 9c has been pressed (Act 6). If the current total key 9c has been pressed, the amount paid in cash is determined as the payment type. Store in the file 5b (Act 7). Then, it is determined whether or not the total payment price stored in the payment type file 5b, that is, the total payment price for each payment type is greater than or equal to the total price of the product to be purchased (Act 8). The receipt is printed by the section 12 (Act 9). When the receipt printing is finished, the process returns to Act1.

  If it is determined in Act 6 that the current key 9c has not been pressed, it is determined whether or not the gift certificate key 9e has been pressed (Act 10). If the gift certificate key 9e has been pressed, the amount paid by the gift certificate is determined. It is stored in the payment type file 5b (Act 11), and the process proceeds to a determination of whether or not the total amount paid for each payment type of Act 8 exceeds the sales amount. If it is determined in Act 10 that the gift certificate key 9e has not been pressed, it is determined whether or not the credit key 9d has been pressed (Act 12), and if the credit key 9d has been pressed, the amount paid by the credit card is determined as the payment type. It is stored in the file 5b (Act 13), and the process proceeds to a determination of whether or not the total amount paid for each payment type of Act 8 exceeds the sales amount.

  If it is determined in Act 12 that the credit key 9d has not been pressed, it is determined whether or not the receipt key 9f has been pressed (Act 14). If the receipt key 9f has not been pressed, other processing is performed (Act 15). ), Return to Act1. Here, the other processing includes, for example, numerical value input using the numeric keypad 9a. Before operating the current total key 9c, gift certificate key 9e, and credit key 9d in order to input the cash payment amount, gift card payment amount, and credit card payment amount, the numeric keypad 9a is used for numerical values. Must be entered. As other processes, there are many processes such as a discount process that is not directly related to this embodiment, such as a discount process, and an input when a barcode attached to a product cannot be read by the scanner 10. It is a technology and will not be described in detail.

  If it is determined in Act 14 that the receipt key 9f has been pressed, it is determined whether or not receipt printing has been performed (Act 16). If receipt printing has been performed, the print contents of the receipt are drawn in the print buffer ( Act 17), the receipt 15 is printed by the printing unit 12 (Act 18), and this process is terminated. If it is determined in Act 16 that the receipt has not been printed, the type of payment for the merchandise price has not been determined, so the processing from Act 1 is continued until the payment type for the full payment price is determined.

  An example of the receipt 15 printed by Act 18 is shown in FIG. The receipt 15 includes a main body portion 15a, a payment type portion 15b, and a detail portion 15c, each surrounded by a two-dot chain line. The main body 15a has an issuance date, a print indicating that it is a receipt, a receiver column (the purchaser of the product), a receipt issuer and its address, a person in charge who issued the receipt, and a receipt column. The number is printed. In addition, the main body portion 15a is provided with a stamp field for attaching a revenue stamp according to the setting of the POS terminal 1.

  In the payment type section 15b, the payment amount and the consumption tax included in the payment amount are printed for each payment type. In this embodiment, payment with a credit including 1,667 yen including consumption tax is 35,000 yen, payment with a gift certificate including 191 yen including consumption tax is 4,000 yen, and consumption tax is 71 yen. The payment in cash including is printed as 1,500 yen.

  The detail section 15c is partitioned from the payment type section 15b by a dotted line, and the boundary between the payment type section 15b and the detail section 15c is easy to understand. The detail portion 15c is printed with prints indicating purchase details, purchase date, number, name of person in charge, sales details, cash register number, purchase points, issue time, and the like. In addition, although the number same as the receipt number of the main-body part 15a is printed here, a different number may be sufficient as it.

  In such a POS terminal 1, a scanner 10 reads a barcode of a product purchased by a customer. Then, the server 13 inquires of the server 13 about product information using the read barcode code, and stores the product name, unit price, etc. of the answer in the detail file 5a. When the bar code has been read for all products purchased by the customer, the store clerk presses the subtotal key 9b. If the subtotal key 9b is pressed, the total amount of products to be sold is displayed on the display 8.

  If the subtotal is displayed, the store clerk receives payment for the item from the customer. In this embodiment, it can be received in three payment types: cash, gift certificate, and credit card. First, the store clerk confirms the payment type that the customer wishes to pay, inputs the payment amount with the numeric keypad 9a, and presses any of the current payment key 9c, gift certificate key 9e, and credit key 9d of the desired payment type. Then, this payment type and its amount are stored in the payment type file 5b. Then, it is determined whether or not the price is equal to or greater than the price of the product, and if the total price of the product can be paid with the input price, a receipt is printed. If the input amount is less than the total price, it is necessary to add payment with the same payment type or input with another payment type, so the next input is awaited without printing a receipt.

  If the customer wishes to receive the receipt after the receipt is printed, the store clerk operates the receipt key 9f. Then, if a receipt has been issued, the drawing data of the receipt is drawn in the print buffer 5c, and the receipt is printed by the printing unit 12.

  In the example of FIG. 5, when a customer purchases 33,000 yen products belonging to department 1 and 2 7500 yen goods belonging to department 2, cash is 1500 yen, gift certificate is 4000 yen, credit card is 35000 yen. The receipt 15 when paying a total of 40,500 yen is shown. This amount will be explained by paying in the order of cash, gift certificate and credit card. After the subtotal key is pressed, first enter “1500” with the numeric keypad 9a, and then press the current key 9c. On the display unit 8, the cash payment is 1500 yen, the payment amount is 1500 yen, and the remaining payment amount Is displayed as 39000 yen. Next, when the user inputs “4000” using the numeric keypad 9a and presses the gift certificate key 9e, the cash payment on the display unit 8 is 1500 yen, the payment for the gift certificate is 4000 yen, and the payment amount is 5500 yen. , It is displayed that the remaining payment amount is 35000 yen. Then, when “35000” is input with the numeric keypad 9a and the credit key 9d is pressed, the cash payment on the display unit 8 is 1500 yen; the payment for the gift certificate is 4000 yen; the payment by the credit card is 35000 yen , The payment amount is 35000 yen, and the remaining payment amount is 0 yen. When the receipt key 9f is pressed in this state, a receipt is issued.

  As printed on the receipt 15, information necessary for the receipt as already known is printed on the main body 15a. Details of the payment type are printed in the payment type section 15b. If the receipt is payment such as cash, it is necessary to attach an income stamp according to the amount of receipt. On the other hand, for example, when paying with a credit card, there is no need to attach a revenue stamp. Therefore, in this printing example, it is determined whether or not a receipt is attached to the amount of money and the amount of payment for the gift certificate. In this embodiment, the payment amount for each payment type is printed on the receipt. Therefore, even if the receipt 15 is considered to have to have a revenue stamp attached only from the total amount, the details for each payment type Is printed on the receipt, so you can easily see if you need to stick a revenue stamp.

  The receipt 15 is provided with a detail portion 15c on which purchase details are printed. If the customer receives the receipt 15, the store clerk may request that the receipt be returned. In this case, the customer may not know what he / she bought from the regular receipt alone. However, in this embodiment, since the purchase details are printed on the receipt 15, it is possible to immediately understand which product the receipt is for.

  Regarding the direction of characters to be printed, a normal receipt paper is printed while pulling out a long paper wound in a roll shape. Because of this type of paper, there are restrictions on the number of characters or lines that can be printed in the width direction of the paper. However, with regard to the direction of paper withdrawal, regarding general product purchases, the number of characters or lines that can be printed is limited. There are almost no restrictions. In view of this, the receipt of this embodiment prints almost the same data on the main body 15a, and there is almost no need to change the format. Therefore, the print format is fixed and the characters are lined up in the paper drawing direction. . On the other hand, with respect to the payment type part 15b in which the amount of printing (number of lines) changes depending on the type of payment and the detail part 15c in which the number of lines changes depending on the purchase points, printing is performed so that characters are arranged in the width direction of the paper, Even if the number of printed lines changes, all payment types and purchase details can be printed.

  Further, since the main body 15a and the payment type 15b of the receipt 15 are printed adjacent to each other, when there is a case where a receipt is submitted to the tax office, for example, a detailed section clearly separated by a printed dotted line It is also possible to separate 15c from the receipt 15 and hold it by the recipient of the receipt.

  In this embodiment, a receipt is printed when the total payment amount of cash, credit card, and gift certificate is greater than or equal to the total amount of the product. If the total payment amount is greater than the total product amount, for example, which payment type amount It may be possible to confirm with the customer whether to reduce the amount of payment, or to automatically reduce the amount of payment by cash, for example, cash. Further, although three types of cash, credit card, and gift certificate have been described as payment types, other payment types such as electronic money and points set at a store can be adopted.

  In this embodiment, a description has been given in which a receipt is issued at the POS terminal 1, but the present invention can also be applied to other devices such as an electronic cash register in which payment processing is completed alone without inquiring product information from a server. The printer that prints the receipt may not be a printer that prints on the receipt.

  Although not described in detail, when the barcode of the next product is read after the receipt file is printed on the specification file 5a, the details stored so far may be deleted.

  As described above, the above embodiments are presented as examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
