Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus and a program.

  In retail stores and the like, a merchandise sales data processing apparatus represented by a POS (Point Of Sale) system is used.

  Patent Document 1 describes a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that can change a selling price only when an operator needs it. In retail stores, such functions are used to plan time sales and special sales.

  However, even if the selling price is changed, the changed amount is printed on the receipt, but the fact that the selling price has been changed is not printed and there is room for improvement.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus and program capable of improving the willingness to purchase.

The merchandise sales data processing apparatus according to the embodiment includes a registration unit, a determination unit, a setting unit, and a print control unit. The registration means registers a first price which is a normal sales price extracted according to information for identifying a product to be sold. The determination means determines that the registration means on condition that it has registered the combination of certain products, changing the first price set items in which the products combined. The setting means sets a second price, which is a sales price after the change, when the determination means determines to change the first price. The printing control means, for the set product that is subject to price change, the name of the product included in the set product, and the first price and the second price of the set product are consecutive. Issue a receipt in the area .

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a POS terminal 1 according to the embodiment. The POS terminal 1 which is a merchandise sales data processing device is placed on the drawer 2 and can control the opening operation of the drawer 3 of the drawer 2. A keyboard 4 as a user interface and an operator display unit 5 as a display unit are arranged on the right side of the upper surface of the POS terminal 1, and a printer 6 is arranged on the left side of the upper surface. As an example, the operator display unit 5 is a liquid crystal display device. A customer display unit 7 is provided at the rear of the top surface of the POS terminal 1. In FIG. 1, a groove provided in the vicinity of the right side surface of the POS terminal 1 is a card reading groove 9 for scanning a card for reading card information by a card reader / writer 8 (see FIG. 2). .

  The keyboard 4 includes a numeric key, a clear key, a return key, a subtotal key, a confirmation key, and a selling price change key. The numeric key is a key for inputting a number such as a product code or an amount. The clear key is a key for canceling the operation when an error occurs. The return key is a key for canceling the current operation and returning to the previous screen. The subtotal key is a key for completing the sales registration and declaring the calculation of the total sales amount.

  The confirmation key is a key to be pressed when confirming the input operation. The selling price change key is a key to be pressed when changing the selling price. The selling price is changed by inputting the changed price with the numeric key after the selling price change key is pressed and pressing the confirmation key.

  The selling price change key is used when the selling price of a product is suddenly changed in the evening or the like. Alternatively, the selling price change key is used when the selling price of a product master M1 (see FIG. 2) described later cannot be updated in time. Alternatively, the selling price change key is used when it is desired to change the selling price of a specific product category. Note that the change of the selling price by the selling price change key is valid only for one transaction. That is, the sales price of the product master M1 is applied to the subsequent sales prices.

  The POS terminal 1 is provided with a CD-ROM tray 10 for mounting a CD-ROM on the right side of the POS terminal 1 as viewed from the operator. The POS terminal 1 is connected to a barcode reader 11 that optically reads a barcode attached to a product (not shown).

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the POS terminal 1. The POS terminal 1 has a microcomputer 100. The microcomputer 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 110, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 120, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 130. CPU110 performs various arithmetic processing and controls each part. The ROM 120 stores and saves fixed data in a fixed manner. The RAM 130 stores variable data in a rewritable manner and is used as a work area. The CPU 110, the ROM 120, and the RAM 130 are connected via the bus line 140. The microcomputer 100 constitutes an information processing unit that executes information processing.

  The microcomputer 100 includes the drawer 2, the keyboard 4, the operator display unit 5, the printer 6, the customer display unit 7, the card reader / writer 8, and the bar code reader 11, and an input / output circuit ( All are not shown) and are controlled via the bus line 140.

  The POS terminal 1 includes a storage unit 150, a CD-ROM drive 160, a communication interface 170, and a clock unit 180. The storage unit 150, the CD-ROM drive 160, the communication interface 170, and the clock unit 180 are connected to the microcomputer 100 via the bus line 140.

  The communication interface 170 performs data communication with the store server 300 which is a higher-level device via a local communication network 200 provided in the store. The communication interface 170 can perform data communication with an external computer via the Internet. The clock unit 180 measures the current date and time.

  The storage unit 150 is a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive). The storage unit 150 stores an operating system, various computer programs, a product master M1, a sale master M2, and a set sales master M3. The operating system and various computer programs are programs for exercising the functions of the POS terminal 1.

  The product master M1 stores product information in association with the product code. The product code is information for identifying a product. The merchandise information includes a normal sales price, a merchandise name, a merchandise classification, and the like, which are prices that have not been reduced.

  The sale master M2 stores the sale price of the target product in a plan such as a time sale or a sale that is sold at a particularly low price. That is, the sale master M2 stores the sales price after the price reduction in association with the product code of the target product.

  The set sales master M3 stores set product information related to set sales in which a price is reduced when a specific combination of products is sold. Here, in the set sales, the price is reduced when a plurality of predetermined types of products are included in the sales target and the price is decreased when a predetermined number of the same type of products are included in the sales target. May be lowered. Therefore, the set product information stores one or more product codes, the number, and the sales price after the price reduction. When the condition of the set product information is satisfied, the sales price after the price reduction is applied.

  Here, the operating system, computer program, and part of the data file are stored in, for example, a CD-ROM, read by the CD-ROM drive 160, and stored in the storage unit 150. Alternatively, it may be downloaded from an external computer via the Internet and stored in the storage unit 150. Such an operating system, computer program, and data file are used by copying all or a part of the POS terminal 1 to the RAM 130 when the POS terminal 1 is activated.

  Next, characteristic processes executed by the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 according to the present embodiment in accordance with the computer program will be described. Note that description of processing that is the same as processing conventionally performed is omitted.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the POS terminal 1. The microcomputer 100 operates as a registration unit 101, a determination unit 102, a setting unit 103, and a print control unit 104 as shown in FIG.

  A registration unit 101 serving as a registration unit registers a product to be sold using the product code input from the keyboard 4 or the barcode reader 11. Specifically, the registration unit 101 extracts and registers the price associated with the input product code and the product name from the product master M1.

  The determination unit 102 serving as a determination unit determines whether or not to change the sales price of the product having the product code registered by the registration unit 101. The determination unit 102 determines to change the selling price when the selling price change key provided on the keyboard 4 is pressed or when a preset condition is satisfied.

  The preset condition is, for example, a condition such as a time sale or a set sale. Time sale conditions include date and time setting. That is, the determination unit 102 determines that the sales price of the product is to be changed when the product registration is performed at a preset date and the registered product is included in the sale master M2. The condition of set sales is whether or not a predetermined combination of products is included in the products to be sold for a set number. That is, the determination unit 102 determines that the sales price of the set product is changed when the product to be sold includes a product that satisfies the condition of the combination and the number set in the set sales master M3.

  If there is no product code that matches the search condition, it indicates that the product with the product code is not a target product such as a special sale. Therefore, the determination unit 102 determines that a preset condition is not satisfied.

  When the determination unit 102 determines that the sales price is to be changed, the setting unit 103 that is a setting unit sets the changed price. When the selling price change key is pressed, the setting unit 103 sets the price input using a numeric key or the like as an input means as the changed price.

  Further, when it is determined that the preset condition is satisfied, the setting unit 103 sets the price set in the sales master M2 or the set sales master M3, which is the master for changing the sales price, as the changed price. Set. Specifically, the setting unit 103 registers the price associated with the product code determined by the determining unit 102 as being included in the sale master M2 or the set sales master M3 as a sales price.

  The print control unit 104 controls the printer 6 to print a receipt. At that time, the print control unit 104 prints the sales price before the change and the sales price after the change for the product whose sales price is changed, and registers the product for which the sales price is not changed. Issue a receipt with the sales price set at the time of printing. FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example of the receipt R.

  The receipt R includes a detailed print area R1 on which a list of purchased products is printed. As shown in FIG. 4, the product whose sales price is changed is printed with original price areas R21, R22, R23 and selling price areas R31, R32, R33 in the detail print area R1. Original value areas R21, R22, and R23 are original prices before the selling price is changed. The selling price areas R31, R32, and R33 are prices after the selling price is changed.

  The receipt R shown in FIG. 4 indicates that the sales price of the product A, the product E, and the set product F has been changed. The original value area R21 of the product A is printed as “original 1000”, indicating that the original selling price before the change was 1000 yen. The selling price area R31 of the product A is printed as “sale 800”, indicating that the sales price after the change was 800 yen.

  The print control unit 104 prints the sales price before and after the change even in the case of multiplication registration in which a plurality of the same products are purchased. The product E shown in FIG. 4 indicates multiplication registration in which a plurality of the same products are purchased. In the original value area R22 of the product E, “original (¥ 1200 × 3 ¥ 3,600)” is printed. As a result, the original selling price before the change indicates that three products E of 1200 yen were purchased, and the total sales price was 3600 yen. The selling price region R32 of the product E is printed as “Sell (¥ 1000 × 3 ¥ 3,000)”. As a result, the sales price after the change indicates that three products E of 1000 yen have been purchased, and the total price is 3000 yen.

  In addition, since the print control unit 104 corresponds to a set product, the print price before and after the change is printed even when selling at a reduced price. The set product F indicates that the set product is a combination of the product X, the product Y, and the product Z. The original value area R23 of the set product F shown in FIG. 4 is printed as “original 1250”, indicating that the original selling price before the change was 1250 yen. The selling price area R33 of the set product F is printed as “Sale 1000”, indicating that the sales price after the change was 1000 yen.

  Further, the print control unit 104 prints a special sale mark R4 on the receipt R when the sales price is changed while satisfying a predetermined condition. FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an example of the receipt R printed with the special sale mark R4. FIG. 5 shows that the sales price of the product A and the product E is changed to the price of the sale master M2. FIG. 5 shows that the sales price of the set product F is changed to the price of the set sales master M3. Further, the special sale mark R4 may be a different mark so that it can be determined which of the special sale master M2 and the set sales master M3 has been changed to the sales price.

  Next, the receipt R printing process executed by the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 according to the above-described embodiment according to the computer program will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of print processing executed by the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 according to the computer program.

  First, the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not a product code has been input from the barcode reader 11 or the keyboard 4 (step S1). When the product code is not input (step S1; No), the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 proceeds to step S11.

  On the other hand, when the product code is input (step S1; Yes), the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 searches the product master M1 using the input product code as a search condition (step S2).

  Next, the microcomputer 100 (registration unit 101) of the POS terminal 1 registers the product of the product master M1 that matches the search condition as the product to be purchased, and extracts the normal sales price of the corresponding product (step S3). .

  Next, the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not the sale conditions are satisfied (step S4). Specifically, the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not the sale condition is satisfied by determining whether or not the product registration is performed at a preset date and time. . Alternatively, the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not the product combination indicated by the set sales master M3 is included in the product to be purchased.

  When the special sale conditions are not satisfied (step S4; No), the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 proceeds to step S8.

  On the other hand, when the special sale condition is satisfied (step S4; Yes), the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 uses the product code as a search condition to obtain a special sale master M2 that is a master for changing the sale price. Or the set sales master M3 is searched (step S5).

  Next, the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not a product code that matches the product code registered in the sale master M2 or the set sales master M3 is included (step S6). When the product code that matches the product code registered in the sale master M2 or the set sales master M3 is not included (step S6; No), the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 proceeds to step S8.

  When the product code that matches the product code registered in the special sales master M2 or the set sales master M3 is included (step S6; Yes), the microcomputer 100 (setting unit 103) of the POS terminal 1 displays the special sales master M2. Alternatively, the price registered in the set sales master M3 is registered as a sales price (step S7).

  Next, the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not pressing of the selling price change key is detected (step S8). If pressing of the selling price change key is not detected (step S8; No), the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 proceeds to step S11.

  On the other hand, when pressing of the selling price change key is detected (step S8; Yes), the microcomputer 100 (determination unit 102) of the POS terminal 1 receives the selling price input from the keyboard 4 (step S9). Next, the microcomputer 100 (setting unit 103) of the POS terminal 1 registers the input selling price as a selling price (step S10).

  Next, the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not pressing of the subtotal key is detected (step S11). When pressing of the subtotal key is not detected (step S11; No), the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 returns to step S1 to register a product.

  On the other hand, when the depression of the subtotal key is detected (step S11; Yes), the microcomputer 100 (print control unit 104) of the POS terminal 1 prints the receipt R (step S12).

  Next, the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 transmits sales registration information related to the transaction to the store server 300 as a transaction process (step S13). During the transaction process, the microcomputer 100 of the POS terminal 1 deletes the changed price setting. Thereby, the changed sales price can be limited to one transaction. That is, the sales price of the product master M1 is applied to the subsequent sales prices.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the registration unit 101 of the POS terminal 1 uses the normal sales price (first price) that is not reduced according to the commodity code input from the barcode reader 11 or the like. ). When the determination unit 102 determines to change the sales price (first price), the registration unit 101 of the POS terminal 1 registers the changed sales price (second price). Then, the print control unit 104 of the POS terminal 1 prints the sales price before the change (first price) and the sales price after the change (second price). When the sales price (second price) after the change is low, the customer feels a good deal. Therefore, the customer's willingness to purchase can be improved.
