  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of electronic receipt information processing in the POS terminal 1. First, the control unit 11 of the POS terminal 1 determines whether or not the association key 122 has been operated (step S11). If it is determined that it has been operated (Yes in step S11), the control unit 11 executes an association process of SRID and PTID shown in FIG. 13 (step S12).

  If it is determined that the association key 122 is not operated (No in step S11), the control unit 11 has read and input the product code included in the code symbol attached to the product by the code reading unit 15 It is determined whether or not (step S21). If it is determined that a product code has been input (Yes in step S21), the control unit 11 executes a product registration process based on the product code (step S22).

  If it is determined that the product code has not been input (No in step S21), the control unit 11 determines whether the closing key 121 has been operated (step S31). If it is determined that it has been operated (Yes in step S31), the control unit 11 executes the settlement process of FIG. 14 (step S32). When determining that it has not been operated (No in step S31), the control unit 11 returns to step S11.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing in detail the association processing in step S12. First, the control unit 11 determines whether or not an SRID is input (step S41). In the embodiment, the barcode displayed on the display unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7 is read by the code reading unit 15 and the SRID is input. When determining that the SRID has been input (Yes in step S41), the control unit 11 stores the input SRID in the RAM in the control unit 11 (step S42).

  When determining that the SRID has not been input (No in step S41), the control unit 11 determines whether or not the PTID has been input (step S43). In the embodiment, the PTID is input by reading the barcode printed on the point card carried by the member with the code reading unit 15. If it is determined that the PTID has been input (Yes in step S43), the control unit 11 stores the input PTID in the RAM in the control unit 11 together with the company code that issued the point card of the PTID (step S44). ).

  After inputting the SRID and PTID, the member operates the transmission key 123. The control unit 11 determines whether or not the transmission key 123 has been operated (step S45). When it is determined that it has been operated (Yes in step S45), the control unit 11 next determines whether both SRID and PTID are stored in the RAM (step S46).

  If it is determined that both are stored (Yes in step S46), the control unit 11 sends an SRID, PTID, company code, and an association command instructing execution of the association process stored in the RAM to the electronic receipt server 3. Transmit (step S47). Next, the control part 11 judges whether the information regarding the correlation with SRID and PTID was received from the electronic receipt server 3 (step S48).

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not the association between the SRID and the PTID has been completed this time (step S49) when waiting for reception (No in step S48) and determining that it has been received (Yes in step S48). ). If it is determined that the process has been completed (Yes in step S49), the control unit 11 displays a message indicating that the association has been completed on the display unit 14 (step S50). In addition, when it is determined that the association could not be performed at this time (No in step S49), the control unit 11 could not perform the association together with a reason such as the case where the association was already performed or the association could not be performed. Is displayed (step S51).

  If it is determined in step S43 that no PTID has been input (No in step S43), if it is determined in step S45 that the transmission key 123 has not been operated (No in step S45), SRID and PTID are determined in step S46. Are determined not to be stored in the RAM (No in step S46), the control unit 11 returns to step S41.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing in detail the settlement process in step S32. In FIG. 14, the control part 11 performs a payment process based on the merchandise registration information performed at step S22 (step S61).

  Next, the control unit 11 determines which of SRID and PTID is input. First, the control unit 11 determines whether or not an SRID has been input (step S62). If it is determined that the SRID has been input (Yes in step S62), the control unit 11 (first transmission unit 111) transmits the SRID and the company code to the electronic receipt server 3 (step S63).

  Here, the company code is a code that identifies the company that issued the point card storing the PTID. In the embodiment, a point card issued by three companies, Company A, Company B, and Company C, is an object. The company code is stored in the POS terminal 1, and is read from the POS terminal 1 and transmitted when it is transmitted in step S64. The company code may be a code that specifies a point service operated by the company.

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the PTID associated with the transmitted SRID is received from the electronic receipt server 3 (step S64). If it is determined that it has been received (Yes in step S64), the control unit 11 reads points from the point unit 17c3 of the point storage unit 17c based on the received PTID (step S65). And the control part 11 (privilege generation means 112) calculates the accumulated point which added this time point calculated by the payment process of step S61, and memorize | stores this accumulated point in the point part 17c3 (step S66). Then, the control unit 11 transmits information including the current point and the accumulated points to the point master 8a of the headquarter server 8 (step S67). The process of step S67 is batch processed.

  Next, the control unit 11 (electronic receipt data generation means 113) generates electronic receipt information including the current point, the accumulated point information D11, the SRID information D22, and the PTID information D21 (step S68). And the control part 11 transmits the produced | generated electronic receipt information to the electronic receipt server 3 (step S69). The electronic receipt information may not include both the SRID information D22 and the PTID information D21 as long as at least one of them is included.

  If it is determined in step S64 that the PTID associated with the transmitted SRID has not been received (No in step S64), the control unit 11 executes error processing (step S70).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S62 that the SRID has not been input (No in step S62), the control unit 11 determines whether or not a PTID has been input (step S71). When determining that it has been input (Yes in step S71), the control unit 11 reads out a point from the point unit 17c3 of the point storage unit 17c (step S72).

  Next, the control unit 11 displays on the customer display 14b of the display unit 14 whether or not the member needs to receive electronic receipt information by the portable terminal 7 (step S73). If the member wishes to receive the receipt as an electronic receipt, the member selects and operates the “electronic receipt required” key displayed on the customer display 14b. If the member wishes to receive the receipt as a paper receipt, the member selects and operates the “electronic receipt is not required” key.

  The control unit 11 (necessity determining means 115) determines whether or not the “electronic receipt required” key has been operated (step S74). If it is determined that the “electronic receipt required” key has been operated (Yes in step S74), the control unit 11 (second transmission unit 114) transmits the PTID and the company code to the electronic receipt server 3 (step S74). S75).

  Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the SRID associated with the electronic receipt server 3 has been received (step S76). In this case, the control unit 11 determines Yes when receiving the associated SRID transmitted in step S125 of FIG. 16 to be described later, and there is no associated SRID transmitted in step S126 of FIG. Is received, it is determined No. If it is determined that it has been received (Yes in step S76), the control unit 11 executes the processes in steps S66 to S69.

  If it is determined that information indicating that there is no associated SRID has been received (No in step S76), the control unit 11 displays a message indicating that the corresponding SRID does not exist (step S77). And the control part 11 calculates the accumulated point which added this time point calculated by the payment process of step S61, and memorize | stores this accumulated point in the point part 17c3 (step S81). And the control part 11 transmits the information containing the memorize | stored point and PTID to the point master 8a of the headquarters server 8 (step S82). Then, the control unit 11 (printing control means 116) prints the PTID information D21, the current point and accumulated point information D11, and information based on the settlement processing in step S61 by the printing unit 13, and the receipt as shown in FIG. Is issued (step S83).

  If it is determined in step S74 that the “electronic receipt is not required” key has been operated (No in step S74), the control unit 11 performs the processing from step S81 onward. If it is determined in step S71 that no PTID is input (No in step S71), the control unit 11 executes the process in step S83.

  As described above, according to the embodiment, when the PTID specifying the point member is received from the electronic receipt server 3 in response to the transmission of the SRID, the privilege information for giving the point member a privilege based on the product sales data. For this reason, the point member can receive the electronic receipt and can give points to the point member without carrying the point card only by carrying the portable terminal 7.

  According to the embodiment, since the company code is transmitted together with the SRID, one PTID can be specified based on the transmitted company code even when a plurality of PTIDs are associated with the SRID.

  In addition, according to the embodiment, when PTID is input without SRID input, electronic receipt data is generated and transmitted to the electronic receipt server 3 together with PTID. Can be generated. In this case, the point member can select whether or not to receive the electronic receipt data.

  In the embodiment, when the SRID corresponding to the PTID is not received, the product sales data and the assigned points are printed on a paper receipt. You can automatically receive paper receipts.

  Note that the point card in the embodiment may be any card issued by a store. For example, a card specialized for giving and using points may be used, or a card that can be used as a point card and can be used as a credit card.

  Next, the control unit 31 of the electronic receipt server 3 performs an electronic receipt management process executed by operating according to the electronic receipt management program 33b and an information transmission process executed by operating according to the information transmission program 33c.
