  The coupon registration unit 101 has a function of registering a coupon to be used. Specifically, the coupon registration unit 102 stores the coupon code input from the input unit (for example, the reading unit 17) and the number thereof in the coupon registration unit 2312.

  When the merchandise specifying information for specifying the packed product is input from the input unit, the privilege processing unit 102 registers the coupon registered by the coupon registration unit up to the number stored in the storage unit for the packed product. It has a function to execute privilege processing using. Specifically, the privilege processing unit 102 performs discount processing on the price of the packed product using the coupon as the privilege processing.

  The coupon usage number storage unit 103 has a function of storing a coupon usage number using a coupon.

  The return processing unit 104 compares the number of coupons registered by the coupon registration unit 102 with the number of coupon usages stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 103, and if the number of registered coupons is large, the difference number It has a function of executing a coupon return process.

  7 to 10 are flowcharts showing the flow of control processing of the POS terminal 1. In FIG. 7, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the product code read by the reading unit 17 has been input (step S11). In the case of a packed product, a product code obtained by reading a barcode printed on a package is input.

  If it is determined that it has been input (Yes in step S11), the control unit 100 searches the product master 242 based on the input product code, and reads product information (product name, unit price, etc.) of the corresponding product. Processed and stored in the product information storage unit 2311 (step S12). Next, the control part 100 performs the coupon process at the time of the merchandise information processing mentioned later in FIG. 8 (step S13).

  When it is determined that the product code is not input (No in step S11), the control unit 100 determines whether or not the coupon code read by the reading unit 17 is input (step S21). If it is determined that it has been input (Yes in step S21), the control unit 100 searches the product master 242 based on the input coupon code, and executes a coupon process when the coupon code is input, which will be described later with reference to FIG. Step S22).

  If it is determined that the coupon code is not input (No in step S21), the control unit 100 next determines whether or not the closing key 131 has been operated (step S31). If it is determined that it has been operated (Yes in step S31), the control unit 100 executes a settlement process such as calculating a change based on the product information and discount information stored in the product information storage unit 2311 ( Step S32). And the control part 100 performs the coupon process at the time of the payment process mentioned later in FIG. 10 (step S33). If it is determined that the tightening key 131 has not been operated (No in step S31), the control unit 100 returns to step S11 and waits.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the coupon processing at the time of product information processing executed in step S13. In FIG. 8, the control unit 100 displays the product information for which the product information processing has been performed on the store clerk display unit 14 and the customer display unit 15 (step S <b> 41). Next, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the product is a promotional product (step S42). Whether or not the product is a sales promotion product is determined based on whether or not a sales promotion number is stored in the sales promotion number section 2424 of the product master 242.

  If it is determined that the product is a promotional product (Yes in step S42), the control unit 100 determines whether there is a registered coupon from the number of coupon registrations stored in the coupon registration unit 2312 (step S43). ). When the number of stored coupons is not “0”, it is determined that there is a registered coupon, and when the number of stored coupons is “0”, it is determined that there is no registered coupon.

  If it is determined that there is a registered coupon (Yes in step S43), the control unit 100 then stores the number of used coupons stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 2313 and the maximum usable number unit 2436. The stored maximum number of coupons that can be used for the pack product is compared, and it is determined whether or not the number of used coupons is less than the maximum number of coupons that can be used (step S44). When it is determined that there are few (Yes in Step S44), the control unit 100 executes a coupon discount process using a coupon for the packed product (Step S45). In the case of the embodiment, the control unit 100 uses the price of “beer (6 cans pack)” (1668 yen) to calculate “30 yen” stored in the discount amount unit 2435 using “XX coupon”. A discounting process is executed (step S45). The control unit 100 stores information on the coupon discount process in the product information storage unit 2311.

  Then, the control unit 100 increments the coupon usage number stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 2313 by 1 (step S46). Next, the control unit 100 compares the coupon registration number stored in the coupon registration unit 2312 with the coupon usage number stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 2313, and determines whether or not the two are equal (step). S47).

  When it is determined that the two are not equal and the number of coupons used is less than the number of registered coupons (No in step S47), the control unit 100 returns to step S44. And the control part 100 repeats and performs this process until the number of coupon registrations and the number of coupon use become equal, and when it is judged that it became equal (Yes of step S47), the control part 100 is the merchandise information storage part 2311. The total amount of the discount amount and the total amount reflecting the discount amount are displayed on the store clerk display unit 14 and the customer display unit 15 based on the information stored in (Step S48).

  When it is determined that the coupon usage number is equal to the maximum usable number stored in the maximum usable number unit 2436 (No in step S44), the control unit 100 executes the process in step S48. If it is determined that the product is not a promotional product (No in step S42), or if it is determined that there is no registered coupon (No in step S43), the control unit 100 determines the total amount because there is no coupon discount. The information is displayed on the salesclerk display unit 14 and the customer display unit 15 (step S49).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the coupon process executed at step S22 when the coupon code is input. In FIG. 9, the control part 100 performs the coupon registration process corresponding to the input coupon code (step S61). The coupon registration process is a process of adding 1 to the number of coupons stored in the coupon registration unit 2312. Next, the control part 100 displays the information of the coupon registered coupon on the salesclerk display part 14 and the customer display part 15 (step S62).

  Next, the control unit 100 determines whether there is a sales promotion product among the products stored in the product information storage unit 2311 (step S63). When it is determined that there is a product (Yes in Step S63), the control unit 100 determines whether there is a product that can be used for a coupon in the sales promotion product (Step S64). Whether or not there is a coupon-use product is determined by whether or not a packed product is stored in the category 1 portion 2433 with respect to the coupon stored in the category 2 portion 2434 in the sales promotion master 243 of FIG. .

  If it is determined that there is a coupon-usable product in the promotional product (Yes in step S64), the control unit 100 stores the coupon usage number and the maximum usable number unit 2436 stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 2313. Is compared with the maximum usable number of coupons for the packed product stored in the table, and it is determined whether or not the number of coupons used is smaller than the maximum usable number (step S65). When it is determined that there are few (Yes in Step S65), the control unit 100 executes a coupon discount process using a coupon for the packed product (Step S66).

  Next, the control unit 100 increments the coupon usage number stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 2313 by 1 (step S67). Based on the information stored in the product information storage unit 2311, the control unit 100 displays the total price of the discount amount and the total price of the products that have been purchased so far reflecting the discount price and the display unit 14 for the clerk and the customer. This is displayed on the display unit 15 (step S68).

  When it is determined in step S64 that there is no product that can be used for coupons in the promotional product (No in step S64), the control unit 100 displays a message indicating that the coupon cannot be used, the display unit for clerk 14 and the customer. This is displayed on the display unit 15 (step S69). In step S63, when it is determined that there is no sales promotion product among the products stored in the product information storage unit 2311 (No in step S63), the number of coupons used is greater than the maximum usable number in step S65. If it is determined that there are not many (No in Step S65), the control unit 100 ends the process.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the coupon process during the settlement process in step S33. In FIG. 10, the control unit 100 compares the coupon registration number stored in the coupon registration unit 2312 with the coupon usage number stored in the coupon usage number storage unit 2313, and whether the coupon registration number is larger than the coupon usage number. Is determined (step S81). When it is determined that there are many (Yes in Step S81), the control unit 100 displays a message indicating that the coupon is returned on the display unit 14 for clerk and the display unit 15 for customer (Step S82). And the control part 100 performs a coupon return process (step S83). The coupon return process is a process for returning one coupon for which the coupon registration process has been executed to the customer, and includes a process for decrementing the number of coupon registrations stored in the coupon registration unit 2312 by -1.

  Then, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the number of registered coupons is equal to the number of used coupons (step S84). If it is determined that they are not equal (No in step S84), the control unit 100 returns to step S82 and repeats the coupon return process. When it is determined that they are equal (Yes in Step S84), the control unit 100 displays the result of the settlement process in Step S32, the total discount amount, etc. on the display unit 14 for the clerk and the display unit 15 for the customer (Step S85). ). And the control part 100 issues the receipt which printed the merchandise information, payment information, discount information, etc. which were memorize | stored in the merchandise information storage part 2311 with the printing part 16 (step S86), and complete | finishes a process.

  If it is determined in step S81 that the number of registered coupons is not greater than the number of coupons used (No in step S81), the control unit 100 executes step S85.

  11 to 13 are diagrams illustrating display examples of step S48, step S62, and step S68 in the processes of FIGS. 7 to 10 executed by the control unit 100.

FIG. 13A shows a display example of the store clerk display unit 14, and FIG. 13B shows a display example of the customer display unit 15.

  In FIG. 11A, the control unit 100 displays a registration display unit 31 indicating that registration is in progress, a product name display unit 32 that displays the product name of the product for which the product code is input, A unit price unit 33 for displaying the unit price of the product, a quantity unit 34 for displaying the input number, and an amount unit 35 for displaying the amount are displayed. In addition, the control unit 100 displays, on the store clerk display unit 14, a discount unit 36 that displays a discount amount that has been discounted using a coupon, a total amount unit 37 that displays a total amount after discount, a store or a product An advertising section 38 that displays images and videos of the advertisement is also displayed. Also in FIGS. 12A and 13A, the control unit 100 displays the same display as in FIG. 11A on the store clerk display unit.

  Also, in FIG. 11B, the control unit 100 displays on the customer display unit 15 an advertisement unit 41 that displays store and product advertisement images and videos, and a product or coupon for which a product code has been input immediately before. A product name part 42 for displaying the product name (coupon name), a unit price part 43 for displaying the unit price of the product, and a quantity part 44 for displaying the input number are displayed. Further, the customer display unit 15 displays a discount unit 45 that displays a discount amount that has been discounted using a coupon, and a total amount unit 46 that displays a total amount after the discount. In FIG. 12B and FIG. 13B, the control unit 100 displays the same display as in FIG. 11B on the customer display unit 15.

  In the example of FIG. 11, the product information of “beer (6 cans pack)” which is a packed product is first input, and thereafter, one coupon of “XX coupon” is registered. The control unit 100 displays the discount amount “−30 yen” by the “XX coupon” on the discount unit 36 and the discount unit 45. In addition, the control unit 100 adds “1638 yen” obtained by discounting the discount “−30 yen” by “XX coupon” from the unit price “1668 yen” of “beer (6 cans pack)” to the total amount part 37 and the total. It is displayed on the amount part 46.

  In the example of FIG. 12, first, product information of “beer (6 cans pack)” which is a packed product is input, and then “XX coupon” is continuously registered for 6 coupons. The control unit 100 displays the discount amount “−180 yen” with six “XX coupons” on the discount unit 36 and the discount unit 45. In addition, the control unit 100 obtains “1488 yen” obtained by discounting the discount “−180 yen” with six “XX coupons” from the unit price “1668 yen” of “beer (6 cans pack)”. And displayed in the total amount portion 46.

  In the example of FIG. 13, first, product information of “beer (6 cans pack)” which is a packed product is input, and then “XX coupon” is continuously registered for 7 coupons. In the embodiment, the pack product “beer (6 cans pack)” can use up to six coupons, and thus the coupon 39 registered in the seventh coupon cannot be used. Therefore, the control part 100 performs the process of No of step S65 with respect to the coupon 39 registered in the seventh coupon, and does not execute the coupon discount process of step S66. Therefore, the control unit 100 displays the discount amount “−180 yen” with six “XX coupons” on the discount unit 36 and the discount unit 45. In addition, the control unit 100 obtains “1488 yen” obtained by discounting the discount “−180 yen” with six “XX coupons” from the unit price “1668 yen” of “beer (6 cans pack)”. And displayed in the total amount portion 46.

  A coupon return process is executed in step S83 for the coupon 39 that has not been discounted and not used for discounting.

  FIG. 14 shows the receipt issued in step S86 in the state shown in FIG. 12 (that is, a state where one product code of “beer (6 can packs)” is entered and six “XX coupons” are registered). It is an example. In FIG. 14, the receipt 51 includes a pack product name “beer (6 cans pack)” 52, a coupon name “XX coupon” 53, a discount 54 with one coupon, a product price 55, a discount total 56, a value A total amount 57 of merchandise reflecting the discount, a deposit amount 58 from the customer, and a change 59 are printed. In the example of FIG. 14, the six “XX coupons” used are collectively printed as “× 6”.

  FIG. 15 is an example of a receipt on which six “XX coupons” used are individually printed. In the example of FIG. 15, the discount amount by each coupon is known as compared to the example of FIG. 14.

  In the case of the state shown in FIG. 13 (that is, a state where one product code of “beer (6 cans pack)” is entered and seven coupons “XX coupon” are registered), FIG. 14 or FIG. A receipt is issued. This is because, in this case, one coupon is returned, but when one coupon is returned, six coupons are registered and used from the beginning. Therefore, printing on the receipt is because six coupons are used. In the journal, it is printed that seven coupons have been registered and that one coupon has been returned.
