Description

The present invention relates to an information output device and a program.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, sales data processing devices such as ECR (Electronic Cash Register) for registering sales of products are known. Payments handled by the sales data processing apparatus include cash, credit cards, cash vouchers, deposit (rental), and the like. A cash voucher is a voucher whose value corresponding to the displayed amount is recognized within a specific range, such as a gift certificate, a book coupon, a beer ticket, or a service ticket. There are types of cash vouchers that can be changed and types that do not change, and even if the same purchase amount is available, the customer can get change according to the order of entry (registration) of the voucher to the sales data processing device. There is.

  For example, if the total purchase amount is 1200 yen, the operator first registers the gift certificate A with no face value of 1000 yen change in the sales data processing apparatus, and then registers the gift certificate B with a face value of 500 yen change. In this case, the sales data processing apparatus first allocates the gift certificate A to the total purchase amount and allocates the gift certificate B to the remaining amount. Since the gift certificate B is a cash voucher for which change is made, the sales data processing apparatus records change = 300 yen, and the customer can obtain 300 yen change. On the other hand, if the gift certificate A is registered after the gift certificate B is registered after reversing the registration order of the gift certificates, the sales data processing apparatus first applies the gift certificate B to the total purchase amount and the gift certificate A to the remaining amount. Appropriate Since the gift certificate A is a cash voucher that does not change, the sales data processing device counts the change as 0 yen and the customer cannot obtain 300 yen change.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, in the case where an accounting operation for a billed amount is processed with a plurality of types of payment including a voucher, change calculation processing execution is set regardless of the registration order of the types of payment Is a technology that unifies change operations by executing change calculation processing so that change is issued, and if not set, change change processing is not executed and change is not output. Proposed.

  In addition, for example, Patent Document 2 proposes a technique for newly issuing a gift certificate or a service ticket having a face value equivalent to change when the payment amount when shopping with a note is less than the face value of the note. Yes.

JP 11-39566 A JP 2007-14410A

  However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 does not take into account that there are types of change on the voucher and types of change that do not occur. I don't get change. For this reason, there may be a disadvantage that the customer cannot receive the change even though the cash voucher of the type that changes is issued. The technology described in Patent Document 2 does not take into consideration that there are things that change depending on the type of cash voucher, and those that do not change. I can't accept change.

An object of the present invention is to prevent a payer from being disadvantaged when a voucher is used for payment .

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the information output device according to the present invention provides an input screen for inputting presentation information from a payer for each type of cash voucher that is a candidate for use in payment. Payment for surplus based on the first display control means for displaying in accordance with a predetermined operation after the total amount for the product is confirmed, the presentation information input based on the input screen, and the total amount And a second display control means for displaying on the input screen the type information of the voucher which is unnecessary.
In addition, the program according to the present invention provides an input screen for causing the computer to input presentation information from the payer for the type of the voucher for each type of the voucher that is a candidate for use in payment. First display control means for displaying in accordance with a predetermined operation after the confirmation is made, and the presentation information input based on the input screen and the total amount are not required for payment due to surplus It is made to function as a 2nd display control means to display the kind information of a cash voucher on the said input screen.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when a voucher is used for payment, it becomes possible not to produce a disadvantage to a payer .

  The timer unit 18 incorporates a timer circuit such as an RTC (Real Time Clock), and measures the current time and the current date and outputs them to the CPU 10.

(Operation of sales data processing apparatus 1)
Next, the operation of the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described. In the present embodiment, the operation when the mode switch of the input unit 11 is set to the registration mode will be described.

  In the registration mode, the CPU 10 waits for input by the input unit 11. When the input is performed by the input unit 11, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the input is a product registration instruction (for example, pressing a PLU key (reading a product barcode) and inputting the number), and registering the product. If it is determined that the instruction is, the product registration process is executed. In the product registration process, the CPU 10 first clears the total purchase amount memory 131, the voucher registration memory 132, and the remaining amount memory 133, and stores the product number and sales amount of the product instructed for registration in the storage unit 14. At the same time, the price of the registered product (in the case of multiple products, the product price multiplied by the number) is added to the total purchase price memory 131. When the product registration for one transaction is completed and the subtotal key of the input unit 11 is pressed, the CPU 10 ends the product registration process and waits for any of the closing keys of the input unit 11 to be pressed. When the tightening key is pressed, the CPU 10 executes processing corresponding to the pressed tightening key.

  Here, when the ticket key of the input unit 11 is pressed, the CPU 10 performs a process of displaying the voucher batch input screen 121 on the display unit 12. The voucher batch input screen 121 is a screen for collectively inputting the type, number and face value of each voucher used for payment according to the input operation of the input unit 11.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the voucher batch input screen 121. As shown in FIG. 3, on the voucher input screen 121, the type of each voucher set in the voucher setting file 142 (for example, A gift certificate (face value 500), A gift certificate (face value 1000), B gift certificate, ... Are displayed, and a number input field R1, an amount input field R2, and a total amount display field R3 are provided in association with the type of each voucher.
The number input field R1 is a field for inputting the number of sheets used for payment of the cash voucher. In the present embodiment, the face number input field R1 is not provided for any face value whose face value is not registered in the voucher setting file 142, and the CPU 10 automatically inputs a single face value. A sheet number input field R1 may be provided so that the operator can input the number of sheets through the input unit 11.
The amount input field R2 is a field for inputting the face value of the voucher. For the types of cash vouchers whose face value is registered in the cash voucher setting file 142, the money amount input field R2 is omitted, and the face amount registered in the cash voucher setting file 142 is automatically read out by the CPU 10 and automatically Input. This saves the operator from having to input the face value. Of course, it is good also as a structure which provides the amount input column R2 with respect to all the types of cash vouchers, and an operator inputs.
The total amount display column R3 is a column for displaying the total amount of the voucher calculated from the number or amount input in the input column R1 or R2.
Below the list of cash vouchers, a cash voucher total amount display column R4, a purchase total amount display column R5, and a change amount display column R6 are provided. The voucher total amount display column R4 is a column for displaying the total amount of all vouchers used for payment. The total purchase amount display column R5 is a column that displays the total purchase amount of the product in one transaction. The change amount display column R6 is a column for displaying the amount of change generated by paying with the input cash voucher.

  When the operator inputs the number and amount of each voucher to be used for payment of the current transaction, which is deposited by the operator, on the voucher collective input screen 121 by the input unit 11 and presses the confirm button B1, the CPU 10 displays the voucher collective input screen. Based on the information input from 121, information set in the voucher setting file 142 is read out as appropriate, and the type, number and amount of each voucher used for payment are input into the voucher registration memory 132. Then, the CPU 10 executes a cash voucher allocation process.

  4-5 is a flowchart which shows the flow of a cash voucher allocation process. The voucher allocation process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and the processing program 141.

  In the voucher allocation process, first, the CPU 10 stores the value of the purchase total amount memory 131 in the remaining amount memory 133 (step S1).

  Next, the CPU 10 takes out only the cashless cash voucher registered in the cash voucher registration memory 132 and used for payment (step S2).

  Next, when the number of unchanged cash vouchers taken out is divided into one, and the total purchase amount is applied to the purchase total amount in order not exceeding the total amount in the purchase total amount memory 131, the difference from the total purchase amount is the largest. Arrange in order of decreasing (step S3).

  Next, the CPU 10 allocates one changeless cash voucher to the total purchase amount according to the arranged order, and subtracts the face value of the applied cash voucher from the remaining amount memory 133 (step S4).

Next, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is 0 (step S5).
When determining that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is 0 (step S5; YES), the CPU 10 displays 0 in the change amount display field R6 of the voucher collective input screen 121 displayed on the display unit 12 (step S6). ).
Next, the CPU 10 determines whether or not there is a surplus cash voucher that has not yet been applied (including no change, including change) (step S7). If it is determined that there is a surplus cash voucher (step S7; YES), the CPU 10 displays the type and number of surplus cash vouchers on the cash voucher batch entry screen 121 to give a refund guidance (see FIG. 7) (step S8). End the voucher appropriation process. When it is determined that there is no surplus cash voucher (step S7; NO), the CPU 10 ends the cash voucher allocation process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S5 that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is not 0 (step S5; NO), the CPU 10 determines whether the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is positive or negative (step S9). .

  When it is determined that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is positive (step S9; positive), the CPU 10 determines whether there is a remaining changeless cash voucher (remaining cash voucher) that has not yet been applied (step S10). If it is determined that there is a remaining cash voucher (step S10; YES), the CPU 10 returns to step S4 and executes the appropriation for the total purchase amount of the next cashless cash voucher. When it is determined that there is no balance voucher (step S10; NO), the CPU 10 proceeds to step S12.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the purchase total amount memory 131 is negative (step S9; negative), the CPU 10 returns the last changeless cash voucher (the last change subtracted to the remaining amount memory 133). Add the amount) and hold it with the remaining changeless cash voucher (step S11), and proceed to step S12.

  In step S12, the CPU 10 takes out only the cash voucher with change from the cash vouchers used for payment registered in the cash voucher registration memory 132 (step S12).

  Next, the picked-out changeable vouchers are separated and arranged one by one and arranged in an appropriate order (for example, in descending order of face value or input amount) (step S13).

  Next, the CPU 10 applies one changeable voucher to the total purchase amount in accordance with the arranged order, and subtracts the face value of the applied voucher from the remaining amount memory 133 (step S14).

  Next, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is 0 (step S15).

  When determining that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is 0 (step S15; YES), the CPU 10 displays 0 in the change amount display field R6 of the voucher collective input screen 121 displayed on the display unit 12 (step S16). ), The process proceeds to step S20.

  When determining that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is not 0 (step S15; NO), the CPU 10 determines whether the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is positive or negative (step S17).

  When it is determined that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is positive (step S17; positive), the CPU 10 determines whether or not there is a remaining changeable cash voucher (remaining cash voucher) that has not yet been applied (step S18). If it is determined that there is a remaining cash voucher (step S18; YES), the CPU 10 returns to step S14 and executes the appropriation of the next cash voucher with change. When it is determined that there is no balance ticket (step S18; NO), the CPU 10 proceeds to step S22 in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is negative (step S17; negative), the CPU 10 collects the value of the remaining amount memory 133 (value with a negative sign) displayed on the display unit 12 at the same time. The change amount display field R6 of the input screen 121 is displayed (step S19), and the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, the CPU 10 determines whether or not there is a surplus cash voucher that has not been applied yet (including no change, including change) (step S20). If it is determined that there is a surplus cash voucher (step S20; YES), the CPU 10 displays the type and number of surplus cash vouchers on the cash voucher batch entry screen 121 to give a refund guidance (see FIG. 7) (step S21). End the voucher appropriation process. When determining that there is no surplus cash voucher (step S20; NO), the CPU 10 ends the cash voucher allocation process.

  Here, by the processing of step S1 to step S21, the CPU 10 first purchases each voucher used for payment so that a changeless voucher is preferentially applied to the total purchase amount and finally a change voucher is applied. The appropriation order is adjusted to the total amount. Finally, by applying a cash voucher with change, it becomes possible to give change to the customer, and it is possible to prevent the conventional disadvantage of the customer due to the input order of the cash voucher. However, for example, in the case where the change cannot be made with the combination of the entered cash vouchers, such as when the total amount of the cash voucher with change is less than the amount of the remaining amount memory 133 at the time of step S12, the cash voucher with change is exceptional. After the appropriation, the processing from step S22 onward in FIG. 5 is performed, and the changeless cash voucher is appropriated.

In step S22 of FIG. 5, the CPU 10 determines whether or not there is a changeless cash voucher that is put on hold (step S22).
When it is determined that there is no changeless cash voucher put on hold (step S22; NO), the CPU 10 displays a shortage of payment on the cash voucher batch input screen 121 displayed on the display unit 12 (step S30). End the voucher appropriation process.

  When it is determined that there is a changeless cash voucher that has been put on hold (step S22; YES), the CPU 10 takes out the changeless cash voucher that has been put on hold (step S23). When applying to the total purchase amount in turn, the difference from the total purchase amount when the total total amount matches the total purchase amount or when the total total amount exceeds the total purchase amount for the first time is the smallest. Arrange (step S24).

  Next, the CPU 10 applies one changeless cash voucher to the total purchase amount according to the arranged order, and subtracts the face value of the applied cash voucher from the remaining amount memory 133 (step S25).

  Next, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is 0 (step S26).

  When determining that the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is 0 (step S26; YES), the CPU 10 displays 0 in the change amount display field R6 of the voucher collective input screen 121 displayed on the display unit 12 (step S27). ), The process proceeds to step S32.

  When determining that the value of the total purchase amount memory 131 is not 0 (step S26; NO), the CPU 10 determines whether the value of the remaining amount memory 133 is positive or negative (step S28).

When it is determined that the value of the purchase total amount memory 131 is positive (step S28; positive), the CPU 10 determines whether there is a remaining changeless cash voucher (remaining cash voucher) that has not yet been applied (step S29). ). If it is determined that there is a remaining cash voucher (step S29; YES), the CPU 10 returns to step S25 and executes the appropriation of the next cashless cash voucher.
If it is determined that there is no balance voucher (step S29; NO), the CPU 10 displays that the deposit is insufficient on the voucher batch input screen 121 displayed on the display unit 12 (step S30), and ends the voucher allocation process. To do.

  On the other hand, when determining that the value of the purchase total amount memory 131 is negative (step S28; negative), the CPU 10 displays the value of the purchase total amount memory 131 (value with a negative sign) on the display unit 12. Is displayed in the change amount display field R6 of the current voucher collective input screen 121 (step S31), and the process proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, the CPU 10 determines whether there is a surplus cash voucher that has not yet been applied (step S32). If it is determined that there are surplus cash vouchers (step S32; YES), the CPU 10 displays the type and number of surplus cash vouchers on the cash voucher batch entry screen 121 to give a refund guidance (step S33), and ends the voucher allocation process. To do. When determining that there is no surplus cash voucher (step S32; NO), the CPU 10 ends the cash voucher appropriation process.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a processing process by a cash voucher allocation process when the input shown in FIG. 3 is performed on the cash voucher collective input screen 121. As shown in FIG. 6, when the input of FIG. 3 is performed, the above-mentioned cash voucher allocation process preferentially applies the cash voucher without change to the payment, and finally applies the cash voucher with change. The balance obtained by subtracting the total purchase amount from the total amount can be refunded to the customer as change.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a voucher collective input screen 121 on which a voucher is over-input. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a processing process by a cash voucher allocation process when the input shown in FIG. 7 is performed on the cash voucher collective input screen 121. As shown in FIG. 8, when the input of FIG. 7 is performed, the above-mentioned cash voucher allocation process preferentially applies the cash voucher without change to the payment, and finally applies the cash voucher with change to the purchase. The amount appropriated over the total amount (250 yen) is returned as change. On the other hand, when the remaining amount becomes negative, one A service ticket and two D service tickets have not been used for payment yet and are surplus. In this case, a refund guidance G shown in FIG. The refund guidance G displays the type and number of surplus cash vouchers. In addition, the number input column R1 and the total amount column R3 corresponding to the surplus cash voucher are highlighted on the cash voucher batch input screen 121.
In this way, when the surplus voucher is deposited from the customer, the type and number of surplus vouchers are displayed, so the operator must recognize the type and number of vouchers to be returned at a glance. It is possible to return surplus cash vouchers together with change.

As described above, in the sales data processing apparatus 1, for each of a plurality of types of cash vouchers used for payment of the total purchase amount, the type of cash voucher, the face value, and the number of sheets are indicated as information indicating whether or not change is issued. When input, the CPU 10 adjusts the order of appropriation for the total purchase amount of each voucher based on the input type, face value and number of vouchers. Specifically, it is applied to the total purchase amount with priority on the voucher without change, and is applied to apply the voucher with change at the end, except when the change of the input voucher cannot be changed. Appropriate by adjusting the order of application to the total purchase amount of each voucher.
Therefore, when a voucher with change and a voucher without change are mixed in the voucher used for payment, change can be given to the customer unless the combination of the input vouchers cannot give change. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the disadvantage of the customer from occurring in the order of entry of the vouchers (registration order) by the operator.

  Specifically, the appropriation order of changeless vouchers is adjusted so that the difference from the total purchase amount becomes the smallest when the changeless vouchers are applied to the total purchase amount in order within the range not exceeding the total purchase amount. , After appropriating cash vouchers with no change in the range not exceeding the total purchase amount, by applying cash vouchers with change, it is possible to give change to customers except when the entered cash voucher combination can not be changed Become.

  Further, by displaying on the display unit 12 a cash voucher batch input screen 121 for collectively inputting the type, face value and number of each voucher used for payment of the total purchase amount, it is used for payment deposited from the customer. It becomes possible to input a voucher in a lump. Specifically, the type of each voucher that can be used in the sales data processing apparatus 1 is displayed on the voucher batch input screen 121, and the number of the voucher and the face value input field corresponding to the displayed type of each voucher. Therefore, the operator can easily and collectively input the cash voucher deposited from the customer without switching the screen.

  In addition, a voucher setting file 142 in which the types of each voucher that can be used in the sales data processing apparatus 1, the face value, and information indicating whether or not change is issued is stored in the storage unit 14, On the cash voucher collective input screen 121, the money amount input field R <b> 2 is omitted for the type of cash voucher whose face value is registered in the cash voucher setting file 142, and the CPU 10 is the type in which the face value is registered in the cash voucher setting file 142. Since the par value is read from the cash voucher setting file 142, it is possible to save the operator from having to input the par value.

  In addition, if there are surplus cash vouchers that have not been used for payment as a result of applying the voucher to the total purchase amount, the type and number of surplus cash vouchers are displayed on the display unit 12, so the operator It is possible to easily grasp the type and number of vouchers to be returned.

In addition, the description content in the said embodiment is a suitable example of the sales data processing apparatus 1 which concerns on this invention, and is not limited to this.
For example, in the above embodiment, the case where only a cash voucher is used for payment has been described as an example. However, since cash can be changed and the face value can be handled as an arbitrary cash voucher, the cash amount input screen 121 has an amount of cash. It is good also as providing the input column R2 and treating cash with the same algorithm as an arbitrary cash voucher with a change.

  In addition, in the cash voucher appropriation process of the above embodiment, after the appropriation of the cash voucher with change, when the payment is not completed without using the changeless voucher put on hold, it has been explained that the processing after step S22 is continued as it is. You may make it output the warning to the effect that a change does not come out on the display part 12 (cash voucher package input screen 121). For example, before step S12 in FIG. 4, a step of determining whether or not “the value of the remaining amount memory 133> the sum of the cash voucher with change” is inserted, and “the value of the remaining amount memory 133> the total of the voucher with change”. If there is a pending changeless cash voucher, a warning that no change will be issued may be output on the display unit 12. Then, for example, if a continuation key (not shown) or the like is provided on the voucher collective entry screen 121 and the customer desires to use the cashless cash voucher as it is, the processing of step S23 is continued by pressing the continuation key, However, if he wishes to add a cash voucher without change or appropriation with cash, the processing is canceled by pressing the stop key B2, and a cash voucher with cash change (cash) is added by the input unit 11 from the cash voucher batch input screen 121. When the confirmation key B1 is pressed, the cash voucher allocation process may be performed again. In this way, it is possible to take measures that meet customer needs in cases where change cannot be made.
