The register 100 installed in the counter 200 as described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 and having the configuration shown in FIG. 5 is used as follows. In the description here, the case where the store where the register 100 is installed is a bakery shop (bakery) is taken as an example.
At the bakery shop, the customer selects the bread to be purchased from the displayed bread and places it on the tray. In order to purchase the selected bread, the customer moves to the front of the counter on which the register 100 is installed with a tray on which the bread is placed. At this time, the customer stands on the front side of the register 100 facing the money input / discharge unit 121a. Then, the customer gives the tray on which the bread to be purchased is placed to the store clerk behind the register 100.

  The store clerk operates the touch panel display 131, the keyboard 132, or the scanner 109 in the operation unit 103 while confirming the product placed on the tray, and registers the product and calculates the total price of the registered product. To do. In response to such an operation, the CPU 151 in the register main body unit 105 executes a product registration process. In addition, the CPU 151 executes control for causing the touch panel display unit 131 to display registered products, subtotal amounts, total amounts, and the like as needed. In addition, the CPU 151 displays predetermined contents to be presented to the customer, including the total amount and the like, on the customer display unit 133.

After confirming the total amount, the customer pays the price as follows. That is, the customer inserts money (banknotes, coins) having a total amount or more from a banknote insertion slot, a currency insertion slot, or the like in the money insertion / discharge section 121a.
In accordance with the insertion of money as described above, the change machine 120 in the change machine unit 101 detects the type of the inserted money and the number of pieces for each type, and inputs the inserted money information indicating the detection result. To the unit 105. The CPU 151 of the register main body unit 105 calculates the total amount (cash deposit) of the inserted money based on the received inserted money information.
Note that the change machine 120 may calculate the deposit and transmit the calculated deposit to the register main body 105.

Here, if the calculated deposit is equal to the total amount, no change is required. Therefore, the CPU 151 in the register main body 105 in this case executes control so that the receipt is printed by the printer 107 without discharging the change from the change machine 120.
On the other hand, when the calculated deposit is larger than the total amount, the CPU 151 in the register main body 105 calculates the change amount by subtracting the total amount from the deposit. Then, the CPU 151 controls the change machine 120 so that the calculated amount of money is discharged as change from the bill discharge port and the coin discharge port in the money insertion / discharge unit 121a. The customer receives the discharged money as change.

  In this way, by using the register 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a face-to-face transaction between the customer and the store clerk for the bread purchased by the customer. In addition, in the case of the register 100 of the present embodiment, the payment of the price and the receipt of the change are performed between the customer and the money input / discharge unit 121a, and money is not handed between the store clerk and the customer. In other words, the store clerk does not have to handle with cash. As a result, the store clerk no longer holds the bread with the hand holding the cash, thereby improving the hygiene.

  Further, an article placement surface portion 115 is formed on the rear side of the upper surface of the housing 110 of the register 100. Since the store clerk can place an item such as a product, a bag, or the scanner 109 on the article placement surface 115 when performing an operation for registering the product as described above or when putting the product in a bag, the work efficiency is improved. Will improve.

Next, an example procedure for installing the register 100 on the counter 200 will be described.

The fixing portion 145 is provided with screw holes H11 and H12, and the fixing portion 146 is provided with screw holes H13 and H14.
Examples of the material of the movement restricting member 140 include metals and resins including iron and aluminum, but are not particularly limited.

  With reference to FIG. 9, an example of how to attach the movement restriction member 140 to the change machine unit 101 will be described. The figure is a perspective view of the change machine unit 101 to which the movement restricting member 140 is attached as viewed from the rear side. In the figure, for convenience of illustration, the operation unit 103 attached to the upper surface of the housing 110 is not shown.

  When attaching the movement restricting member 140, the installation worker keeps the lid 113 (FIG. 6) that forms the rear side surface of the housing 110 open. At this time, the installation worker may remove the lid 113 if it can be removed. In the figure, a state in which the lid 113 is removed is shown.

In the state in which the change machine 120 is housed in the case 110, as shown in the figure, the back part 122a of the changer body cover 122 is located in the case 110 at a position with a predetermined depth from the rear surface. It will be in a position. The back surface portion 122a of the change machine main body cover portion 122 is a portion that is fixedly positioned in the housing 110 at the position shown in FIG.
Therefore, as shown in the figure, the installation worker has the fixed portion 145 and the fixed portion 146 of the movement restricting member 140 abut against the back surface portion 122a of the change machine main body cover portion 122 on the lower rear side of the housing 110. The movement limiting member 140 is applied as described above. In this state, the side surface portion 142 of the movement restriction member 140 is positioned along the side surface of the table 203, and the lower surface portion 143 is positioned below the table 203.
Further, in the above state, the positions of the screw holes H11, H12, H13, and H14 of the movement restricting member 140 and the screw holes (not shown) provided in the back surface portion 122a of the changer body cover portion 122 are the same. It will be in the state.

Then, the installation worker performs screwing through screws in the screw holes H11, H12, H13, and H14 in a state where the movement restricting member 140 is applied as described above. Thereby, the movement restriction member 140 is attached in a fixed state with respect to the change machine unit 101.
The installation worker may attach the lid 113 after fixing the movement restricting member 140 to the change machine unit 101 as described above.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the change machine unit 101 with the lid 113 attached (closed) from the state of FIG. In the state where the lid portion 113 is closed as described above, the side surface portion 142 and the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 are in a state of being exposed to the outside of the housing 110 from the opening portion 114.
From the opening 114, the cable CBL is pulled out as shown in FIGS. That is, by closing the lid portion 113, it is possible to close a portion other than a portion (that is, the opening portion 114) necessary for passing the cable CBL on the rear side surface of the housing 110.

  In the figure, the opening 114 formed under the closed state of the lid 113 has a width that substantially matches the inner width of the casing 110 on the lower side of the rear side surface of the casing 110. It is formed as a part to have. However, the opening 114 may be formed as a portion having a width smaller than the inner width of the casing 110 on the lower side of the rear side surface of the casing 110 in a state where the lid 113 is closed, for example. Thus, when the opening 114 is formed so as to have a width smaller than the inner width, the plurality of openings 114 may be formed at different positions in the width direction of the housing 110.

  FIG. 11 is a side view showing a state example in which the setting of the register 100 to which the movement restricting member 140 is attached on the upper surface of the table 203 is completed as described above. In this figure, the same parts as those in FIGS.

  When the setting of the register 100 on the table 203 is completed and the register 100 is placed at the correct position on the table 203, the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restriction member 140 is located below the rear side surface of the housing 110. It will be in the state which adjoins and faces the lower surface side. That is, the lower surface portion 143 is locked to the lower side of the table 203.

Moreover, in the same figure, the back movement limitation member 116 is arrange | positioned under the money insertion / exhaust part 121a. The rear movement restriction member 116 is attached to the lower front side of the housing 110. The rear movement restricting member 116 has a structure in which a main body receiving plate portion 116a, a guide portion 116b, a front receiving portion 116c, and a rear receiving portion 116d are integrated.
The main body receiving plate portion 116a is a plate portion that is disposed substantially along the width of the money insertion / discharge portion 121a below the money insertion / discharge portion 121a. And the guide part 116b is provided along the both ends of the main body receiving plate part 116a.
As a result, the main body receiving plate portion 116a is positioned below the money input / discharge portion 121a, and the guide portions 116b are positioned along the lower sides of the left and right side surfaces of the money input / discharge portion 121a. Further, the main body receiving plate portion 116a is reinforced by providing the guide portion 116b.

Moreover, the front receiving part 116c is formed by the part by which the front of the main body receiving plate part 116a was extended | stretched.
The rear receiving portion 116d is a member having an L-shaped cross section, and is fixed below the main body receiving plate portion 116a by, for example, screwing.
When the register 100 is placed on the table 203, as shown in the figure, the front receiving portion 116c comes into contact with the lower back surface of the money input / discharge portion 121a, and the rear receiving portion 116d comes into contact with the side surface of the table 203. ing. For this reason, the backward movement of the housing 110 indicated by the arrow B1 is limited by the front receiving portion 116c and the rear receiving portion 116d, and does not deviate from the position shown in FIG.
In addition, at the rear of the housing 110, the side surface portion 142 of the movement limiting member 140 is in a state of being substantially in contact with the rear side surface of the table 203. That is, the side surface portion 142 is locked to the rear side surface of the table 203. Since the side surface portion 142 is locked to the rear side surface of the table 203 as described above, the forward movement of the housing 110 indicated by the arrow B2 opposite to the arrow B1 in FIG. The position is limited by the portion 142 and does not deviate from the position shown in FIG.

Thus, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the housing 110 from being displaced between the front and the rear.
Note that the mechanism for restricting the forward movement of the housing 110 is not limited to the configuration of the movement restricting member 140. Further, the mechanism for restricting the rearward movement of the housing 110 is not limited to the configuration using the rearward movement restricting member 116.

  Further, when the changer main body 121 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow A1, the center of gravity of the register 100 is biased toward the money input / discharge unit 121a. Therefore, depending on the weight of the part pulled out in the direction of the arrow A1, the rear of the housing 110 is lifted upward as shown by the arrow A2 in the figure.

However, when the register 100 is installed with respect to the table 203 as shown in the figure, the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 is close to and faces the lower surface side of the table 203. . That is, the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restriction member 140 is in a state of being locked to the lower surface of the table 203. Thereby, for example, even if the casing 110 is to be moved upward, the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 is in contact with the lower surface of the table 203, and the upward movement of the housing 110 is restricted.
Therefore, even when the rear of the housing 110 is about to float upward due to the change machine main body 121 being pulled out in the direction of the arrow A1, the lower surface 143 is locked on the lower surface of the table 203. It becomes. Accordingly, the rear side of the housing 110 does not float upward further as indicated by the arrow A2 while the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 remains engaged with the lower surface of the table 203.
That is, even if the change machine main body 121 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow A1, the register 100 maintains the position state shown in the figure without the housing 110 being lifted by the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restriction member 140. be able to.
As can be understood from the above description, the movement restricting member 140 restricts the movement of the change machine unit 101 in the direction in which the customer is standing by the side surface 142, and the change machine unit 101 by the lower surface 143. Is restricted from moving upward.

As described above, the register 100 installed in the table 203 is restricted from moving in the upward direction of the housing 110 because the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 faces the lower surface side of the table 203. However, the register 100 itself is not fixed with respect to the table 203.
For this purpose, for example, from the state shown in FIG. 11, the changer unit 101 is indicated by an arrow B1 by removing the screw that fixes the rear receiving portion 116d to the main body receiving plate portion 116a and removing the rear receiving portion 116d. It becomes possible to move backward.

FIG. 12 shows a state where the rear receiving portion 116d is removed from the state of FIG. 11 and the change machine unit 101 is moved rearward as indicated by an arrow B1. As shown in the figure, when the change machine unit 101 is moved rearward, the lower surface of the table 203 (the lower side of the placement plate) and the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 do not face each other in the vertical direction. It becomes. That is, the lower surface portion 143 of the movement restricting member 140 is disengaged from the position where it is engaged with the table 203. Thereby, the restriction | limiting of the upward movement of the register | resistor 100 is cancelled | released, and the register | resistor 100 can be easily removed from the table 203. FIG.
As can be understood from the above description, the register 100 according to the present embodiment is only required to place the portion of the housing 110 of the change machine unit 101 on the table 203. For example, the construction in which the change machine is embedded in the counter is also possible. There is no need. That is, the register 100 of this embodiment can be easily installed. Further, the register 100 of this embodiment can be easily detached from the table 203.

Note that the backward movement restriction member 116 may be omitted. The movement most likely to occur in the casing 110 is a movement in which the casing 110 is lifted upward by pulling out the change machine main body 121 in the direction of the arrow A1 (FIG. 11). On the other hand, the movement of the housing 110 in the horizontal direction hardly occurs. For example, even when the changer main body 121 is pushed into the housing 110 in order to store the pulled out changer main body 121 in the housing 110, there is almost no rearward displacement. As can be understood from the above description, the movement restriction member 140 restricts the upward movement of the housing 110 when the changer main body 121 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow A1. Therefore, if the movement restriction member 140 restricts the movement of the housing 110 when the changer main body 121 is pulled out in the direction of the arrow A1, the housing 110 is stable even if the rearward movement restriction member 116 is omitted. Thus, the state of being placed on the table 203 can be maintained.
For example, with respect to the movement restriction member 140, for example, a member that restricts upward movement of the housing 110 when the changer main body 121 is pulled out, and a member that restricts forward movement of the housing 110, It may be divided by.
Furthermore, for example, the weight of the register 100 and the balance of the center of gravity when the change machine main body 121 is pulled out so that the housing 110 is difficult to move upward or forward even when the change machine main body 121 is pulled out. If set, the movement restricting member 140 can also be omitted.
Further, in the above description, an example in which the register 100 of the present embodiment is used in a bakery has been given. However, the register 100 according to the present embodiment can be installed and used in a store where a store clerk and a customer conduct a transaction in a face-to-face manner.
Further, the money input / discharge unit 121a may be configured such that, for example, only one of money input and money discharge is performed.
In addition, the register 100 according to the present embodiment corresponds to a face-to-face transaction. However, in the register 100, an input device (touch panel display unit 131, keyboard) for the side surface (first side surface) of the housing 110 where the money input / output unit 121a appears. 132) The positional relationship of the side surface (second side surface) of the housing 110 corresponding to the orientation in which the operation of 132) can be performed is not necessarily the opposite side. For example, the left or right side surface adjacent to the first side surface in the housing 110 may be the second side surface.

  In addition, a program for realizing the function of the register 100 described above is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into a computer system and executed, thereby executing the register as the register described above. Processing may be performed. Here, “loading and executing a program recorded on a recording medium into a computer system” includes installing the program in the computer system. The “computer system” here includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer system” may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication line such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and dedicated line. The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. As described above, the recording medium storing the program may be a non-transitory recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The recording medium also includes a recording medium provided inside or outside that is accessible from the distribution server in order to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program that can be executed by the terminal device. That is, the format stored in the distribution server is not limited as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form that can be executed by the terminal device. Note that the program may be divided into a plurality of parts, downloaded at different timings, and combined in the terminal device, or the distribution server that distributes each of the divided programs may be different. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that becomes a server or a client when the program is transmitted via a network. Including things. The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Furthermore, what can implement | achieve the function mentioned above in combination with the program already recorded on the computer system, what is called a difference file (difference program) may be sufficient.
