A system that issues a “takeout label”) is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-190068

  By the way, the information to be described in the label differs between the take-out label issued from the label printer simultaneously with the accounting and the label issued in advance. However, the conventional technique has a problem that label issuance control cannot be performed according to different situations.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of performing label issuance control according to different situations.

One aspect of the present invention is a merchandise sales data processing system comprising a merchandise data processing apparatus and a label printer that issues a label to be given to a merchandise in response to an instruction from the merchandise data processing apparatus. An apparatus includes an order input means for inputting an order desired by a customer , and outputs first information when the order input method is the first input method. The order input method is the second input method. Output control means that does not output information or outputs second information related to the product that has occurred over time, and the label printer responds to the control of the product data processing device. A merchandise sales data processing system is characterized in that a label is issued according to output information .

  One aspect of the present invention is the above-described merchandise sales data processing system, wherein the second input method is an input by reading code information specifying a merchandise.

  According to the merchandise sales data processing system, it is possible to reduce label consumption. Specifically, when code information is read, there is a possibility that a label has already been given to the product. Therefore, it is wasteful to issue a label that is the same as or similar to the label already given to the product. On the other hand, according to the product sales data processing system, when the code information is read, the label is not issued or the label on which only the difference information from the label already attached to the product is printed. publish. Therefore, even if a label is issued, only the difference information from the label already attached to the product is printed, so the information printed on the label already attached to the product is printed. I will not. Therefore, it is possible to reduce label consumption.

One aspect of the present invention is the above-described merchandise sales data processing system, wherein the label printer prints the second information in a different aspect from a preset aspect.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of a merchandise sales data processing system. The merchandise sales data processing system of the present invention includes a POS register 100 and a label printer 200. The POS register 100 and the label printer 200 are communicably connected via a LAN (Local Area Network).

  The POS register 100 executes a registration process for registering a product desired by a customer and a settlement process for adjusting the product registered by the registration process. The POS register 100 controls the label printer 200 to issue a label. The POS register 100 has a first issue mode and a second issue mode as label issue modes. The first issue mode is a mode for issuing a label in advance. Here, “previous” means before registering a product. The label issued in the first issue mode includes specific information. The specific information is, for example, code information (for example, JAN code) for specifying a product and the price of the product. The specific information may include other information as long as the information is related to the product. For example, information on allergens contained in products. The label issued in the first issue mode is, for example, a label (hereinafter referred to as “sales label”) that is given to a product for preparation.

The second issue mode is a mode in which a label is issued after registration of a product. The label issued in the second issue mode does not include specific information. The label issued in the second issue mode is, for example, a takeout label given to a takeout product.
The first issue mode and the second issue mode can be switched by a store clerk operation (for example, a button for selecting an issue mode provided in the POS register).

Further, when operating in the second issue mode, the POS register 100 performs different processes depending on the product input method. For example, when the product input method is an input method (first input method) other than reading code information (for example, JAN code) for specifying a product, the POS register 100 displays a take-out label that does not include specific information. Issue. Examples of input methods other than reading code information for identifying products include, for example, input using a preset key, input using product data search, input using keyword search, and selection input from a list (for example, a list in which products are arranged in order) , Selection input from sales history (for example, time order, sales order, etc.), direct input of code information or in-store barcode (mark store marking), and the like. In the following description, an example is described in which an input method other than reading code information specifying a product is input using a preset key.
Further, for example, when the input method of the product is reading of code information specifying the product, the POS register 100 does not issue a takeout label.
When issuing a label, the POS register 100 generates a label issuance instruction and outputs it to the label printer 200.

  The label printer 200 issues a label in accordance with an issue instruction from the POS register 100. For example, when the issuance instruction is an instruction in the first issuance mode, the label printer 200 issues a sales label including specific information according to a predetermined format. For example, when the issuance instruction is an instruction in the second issuance mode, the label printer 200 issues a takeout label that does not include specific information according to a predetermined format.

  The label printer 200 can control the length of the label to be issued according to the printing amount. Specifically, the label printer 200 issues a sales label with a length corresponding to the label length included in print format data for sales labels (described later). The label printer 200 issues a takeout label with a length corresponding to the label length included in print format data for takeout label (described later).

Next, a specific configuration example of the POS register 100 will be described.
The POS register 100 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a scanner unit 104, a display unit 105, an operation unit 106, a communication unit 107, a printing unit 108, a change billboard 109, and a hard disk 110. Prepare. The functional units of the POS register 100 are connected to each other via the bus 1.

The CPU 101 is a central processing unit and reads a program stored in the ROM 102 and develops it in the RAM 103. The CPU 101 controls the overall operation of the POS register 100 by executing each step of the developed program. Specific processing of the CPU 101 will be described later.
The ROM 102 stores various information. For example, the ROM 102 stores a program executed by the CPU 101, a device number of the own device, and the like.

  The RAM 103 temporarily stores various information. For example, the RAM 103 temporarily stores a program read from the ROM 102 and information (eg, product information, registration information, transaction information, etc.) acquired or generated by executing the program. For example, the RAM 103 temporarily stores the product file received by the communication unit 107. The product file is composed of records including information related to products (hereinafter referred to as “product information records”). The RAM 103 may temporarily store a label format file (described later). In the label format file, print format data of sales labels and take-out labels are registered. The RAM 103 may temporarily store a print format selection file (described later). Conditions for selecting print format data are registered in the print format selection file.

  The scanner unit 104 (order input means) optically reads the code information attached to the product, and acquires the product code of the product (acquires the product code that has been encoded by reverse conversion). The scanner unit 104 notifies the CPU 101 of the acquired product code.

  The display unit 105 is an image display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. The display unit 105 (order input means) displays, for example, a preset button for registering predetermined products (for example, lunch boxes, drinks, etc.), and accepts orders for products desired by customers. When a store clerk operates on the display unit 105, an operation signal is notified to the CPU 101. In other words, when a preset button is pressed by a store clerk on the display unit 105, the CPU 101 is notified of an operation signal indicating an order input for a product associated with the preset button.

  The operation unit 106 includes various operation buttons (operation keys). For example, the operation unit 106 includes a numeric button (numeric key), a subtotal button (subtotal key), a current total button (current total key), a label issue button (label issue key), and the like. The operation unit 106 (order input unit) may include the above-described preset button (preset key). These operation buttons of the operation unit 106 may be arranged as buttons such as a mechanical key (hard key) or may be arranged on a touch panel provided on the display surface of the display unit 105. In the operation unit 106, when a store clerk operates, an operation signal is notified to the CPU 101.

The communication unit 107 is a communication interface for communicating with other devices via a LAN. For example, the communication unit 107 transmits an issue instruction to the label printer 200. For example, the communication unit 107 receives a product file, a label format file, and a print format selection file from a management device (not shown). The management apparatus is configured using an information processing apparatus (for example, a personal computer) that can communicate with the POS register 100. A management apparatus is installed in the headquarters which manages each store, for example.
The printing unit 108 issues a printed material according to the control of the CPU 101. For example, the printing unit 108 issues a receipt including detailed information.

The change bill 109 has a cash inlet and a cash outlet. The change bill 109 outputs the information of the inserted money and the quantity information to the CPU 101 when the cash is inserted into the cash slot. Moreover, the change bill machine 109 pays out a change or a change amount corresponding to the difference information input from the CPU 101 from the cash payout exit.
The hard disk 110 is a recording device such as a magnetic recording device. The hard disk 110 stores various information. For example, the hard disk 110 stores a label format file and a print format selection file.

Next, an example of the operation of the CPU 101 will be described.
The CPU 101 (issue control means) performs issue control of take-out labels for take-out products when the product order input method is input using a preset key (for example, input other than reading of code information for specifying products). Further, the CPU 101 (issue control means) performs control not to issue a label when the input method of the product order is reading of code information for specifying the product (for example, reading by the scanner unit 104). Note that the CPU 101 (issuance control means) reads the product information included in the code information read by the scanner unit 104 when the order input method is reading of code information for specifying the product (for example, reading by the scanner unit 104). The label issue control including the difference information may be performed.

The take-out label print format data includes information specific to the print item (in FIG. (JAN code) is not included. However, the description of each item of the print format number, the print item, and the label length is the same for the print format data for the take-out label and the print format data for the sales label, and thus description thereof is omitted. Note that a value smaller than the label length value of the print format data for sales labels is set as the label length value of the print format data for take-out labels.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of label issuance.
5A is a diagram showing a specific example of the sales label 31 issued in the first mode, and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a specific example of the take-out label 32 issued in the second mode. It is.
As described above, the sales label 31 is assigned to the product for preparation, and the take-out label 32 is assigned to the take-out product.
When FIG. 5 (A) is compared with FIG. 5 (B), in addition to the length of the label, the printed content printed on the label is different. For example, processing date information is printed on the sales label 31, while sales date information is printed on the takeout label 32. A major difference between FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B is whether or not code information (one-dimensional barcode 33 in FIG. 5) is printed. As described above, the POS register 100 can issue labels of different formats depending on the operation mode.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the POS register 100 in the present invention. In the description of FIG. 6, a case where the POS register 100 operates in the second issue mode will be described as an example.
Step S10: The CPU 101 receives a product input. When the product is input, the process proceeds to step S12.
Step S12: The CPU 101 determines whether or not a product is input using a preset key. For example, the CPU 101 determines that it is an input of a product using a preset key when receiving an operation signal notification from the display unit 105 or the operation unit 106, and presets when receiving an operation signal notification from the scanner unit 104. It is determined that the product is not input with a key. In the case of product input using a preset key, the CPU 101 records the input product information and information indicating input using a preset key in the RAM 103 in association with each other. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S14. On the other hand, when it is not the input of the product by the preset key, the CPU 101 determines that the input method of the product is reading of the code information by the scanner unit 104, and the input of the product information and the code information by the scanner unit 104 is read. The information indicating that it exists is recorded in the RAM 103 in association with it. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S26.

Step S14: The CPU 101 determines whether or not the subtotal key has been pressed. When the subtotal key is pressed, the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, when the subtotal key is not pressed, the process of step S14 is repeatedly executed. In addition, when a new product is input, the processing after step S10 is executed.
Step S16: The CPU 101 performs a settlement process. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S18.

Step S18: The CPU 101 determines whether or not the label issue key has been pressed. When the label issue key is pressed, the process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, if the label issue key has not been pressed, the process of step S18 is repeatedly executed.
Step S20: The CPU 101 determines whether there is a target product for issuing a takeout label. Specifically, the CPU 101 reads out information related to the input method from the information recorded in the RAM 103. Then, the CPU 101 determines whether there is information indicating that the input is performed using a preset key from the read information.

  When there is information indicating that the input is performed using a preset key, the CPU 101 determines that there is a target product for issuing a takeout label. On the other hand, when there is no information indicating that the input is performed using the preset key, the CPU 101 determines that there is no product for which a takeout label is issued. If it is the product for which the take-out label is issued, the process proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, if it is not the product for which the take-out label is issued, the POS register 100 ends the process.

Step S22: The CPU 101 generates a label issue instruction for the takeout label. Specifically, first, the CPU 101 acquires product information corresponding to information indicating that the input is performed by a preset key among the information read out in the process of step S20. Next, the CPU 101 refers to the print format selection file stored in the hard disk 110 and acquires the value registered in the item of the print format number of the record that satisfies the condition item. For example, in the case of the print format selection file shown in FIG. 3, since the POS register 100 satisfies the condition “in the second issue mode and preset key”, the CPU 101 acquires the value of the print format number “2”. Then, the CPU 101 refers to the label format file stored in the hard disk 110 and acquires print format data corresponding to the acquired print format number value. Thereafter, the CPU 101 generates a label issuance instruction including the acquired print format data and product information. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S24.

Step S24: The communication unit 107 outputs a label issuance instruction to the label printer 200. The label printer 200 issues a label according to the label issue instruction. The label issued by this processing is the take-out label shown in FIG.
Step S26: The CPU 101 determines that the input is a product by reading the code information from the scanner unit 104, and determines not to issue a label. Thereafter, the processing after step S14 is executed.

  According to the product sales data processing system configured as described above, a takeout label is issued when the input method of the ordered product is input other than reading of code information (for example, JAN code) for specifying the product. When the control is performed and the input method of the ordered product is input by reading the identification information of the product, the control not to issue the label is performed. Therefore, it is possible to perform label issue control according to different situations.

  Further, in general, for a product for preparation, a store clerk performs code registration processing and payment processing by reading code information printed on a label attached to the product for preparation. In other words, when the code information is read, a label is already attached to the product. Therefore, it is not necessary to issue a label. Therefore, when the code information is read as in the present invention, it is possible to reduce the possibility that a useless label is issued by controlling not to issue the label.

  In addition, in restaurants, a large number of lunch boxes are prepared in the morning and sold at the peak of the daytime for sale. In this case, it is necessary to display the price on the product. If the code information is described, the registration process is completed simply by reading the code information at the time of accounting, so that the accounting process time can be shortened. Furthermore, when the lunch box is unsold, the discount code information is given to appeal to the customer, making it easy to prevent the unsold item and making it possible to perform the discount process without making a mistake at the cash register. Therefore, it is convenient to attach a label displaying necessary information such as price and code information to the prepared lunch box. On the other hand, since the take-out label is given to the product after the accounting process, the code information is unnecessary and the price display is unnecessary. Therefore, when an input other than the reading of code information specifying the product is made as in the present invention, the POS register 100 determines that the input product is a take-out product, and the code information, price display, etc. Issue a take-out label that excludes unnecessary information. As a result, unnecessary information does not have to be printed on the label, and the amount of printing can be reduced.

<Modification>
The POS register 100 may be configured to print identification information indicating whether or not it is necessary to issue a takeout label to code information printed on a sales label. In the case of such a configuration, when the code information is read by the scanner unit 104, the CPU 101 determines whether or not to issue a take-out label for a product for preparation according to the identification information printed on the code information. To do. When it is determined that a take-out label for a product for preparation is issued, the CPU 101 generates a label issuance instruction including print format data for the take-out label and product information of the corresponding product. Then, the communication unit 107 transmits the generated label issuance instruction to the label printer 200. The label printer 200 issues a take-out label based on the label issuing instruction transmitted from the POS register 100.
The CPU 101 may control the font size of the information printed on the label according to the time so that the font size is larger than the size determined by the print format data. For example, when the expiry date of the product is within a predetermined period (for example, within 3 hours) compared to the date and time when label issuance control is performed, the CPU 101 determines predetermined information (for example, the processing date and time of the product and the expiry date). The font size may be controlled to be printed on the label with a font size larger than the size determined by the print format data.

In the present embodiment, an example in which the POS register 100 and the label printer 200 are configured as separate devices has been described, but the POS register 100 and the label printer 200 may be configured as an integrated device. In such a configuration, the printing unit 108 included in the POS register 100 has the function of the label printer 200. That is, the printing unit 108 issues a label according to the control of the CPU 101.
In the present embodiment, the case where one format data is registered in the print format data for sales labels has been described as an example. However, a plurality of format data is registered in the print format data for sales labels. Also good. Also, a plurality of format data may be registered in the print format data for take-out labels as well as the print format data for sales labels.
The POS register 100 may be configured to issue a label (hereinafter, referred to as “food material management label”) used for management of the food used for the product as the third issue mode. The food material management label is printed with information such as, for example, the food material name, the usable period of the food material, the label issue number, the issue date and time, and the code information (for example, barcode).

The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes designs and the like that do not depart from the gist of the present invention.
