When detecting that the product code attached to the product is read from the scanner 11f by the operation by the store clerk (Act 4, Yes), the CPU 11a adds (updates) information on the product corresponding to the product code to the registered product data ( Act 5). Further, the CPU 11a updates the product information on the registration screen according to the content of the updated registered product data. After that, as described above, the CPU 11a sequentially adds the product information corresponding to the acquired product code to the registered product data every time the store clerk operates the scanner 11f to read the product code (Act4). , Act5) (Act15 and Act16 will be described later).

In this way, after at least one product is registered, when the CPU 11a detects a touch operation on the subtotal button (Act 3, Yes), it is registered in the registered product data based on the content registered in the registered product data. The payment information for the payment processing regarding the product is generated (Act6). The payment information includes registered merchandise data including all merchandise to be purchased, which is stored in the data memory area 31a, and information such as the total number and total price of purchased merchandise stored in the data memory area 32a.

Based on the payment information, the CPU 11a calculates the privilege given to the shopper when the payment method is used for each of the plurality of payment methods that can be used in the payment process (Act 7). The CPU 11a calculates the privilege based on a predetermined calculation method for each payment method (cash, credit card, electronic money, etc.) according to the control program. For example, when the credit card is set to calculate points based on the total amount of money, the CPU 11a calculates points based on the total amount of money stored in the data memory area 32a as a privilege for the credit card. To do.

As shown in FIG. 7, a privilege applied to each payment method (payment type) is set in the payment type data file 13b. The data file 13b is stored in, for example, the server 13, and the server 13 performs setting, setting change, and the like. The product registration device 11 acquires the data file 13b from the server 13 and stores it in the RAM 11c or the auxiliary storage unit 11d. Alternatively, the payment device 12 acquires the data file 13b from the server 13 and stores it in the RAM 12c or the auxiliary storage unit 12d.

For example, the data file 13b sets a privilege corresponding to each payment method (cash, credit card, electronic money card). As the privilege, for example, a discount amount, a discount, or points is set. FIG. 7 shows that when the payment method is a credit card, points are calculated with a point giving rate of 0.2%. Also, when the payment method is an electronic money card, points are calculated assuming that the point-giving rate is 0.3%. If the payment method is cash, it means that no points are awarded. For example, when the total amount of money is 3144 yen, the CPU 11a assigns “0 points (0P)” to “grant points” based on the grant rates of the payment methods of “cash”, “credit card”, and “electronic money”. 6 points (6P)" and "9 points (9P)" are calculated.

When the discount rate of the data file 13b is set, the CPU 11a calculates the discount rate based on the discount rate and the total amount stored in the data memory area 32a. If a predetermined amount is set as the discount amount in the data file 13b, the CPU 11a subtracts the set amount from the total amount stored in the data memory area 32a. By changing the content of the data file 13b, a privilege corresponding to a payment method such as a point grant rate or a discount is set. Note that a plurality of the above benefits may be set for one payment method.

Further, conditions may be further defined in the data file 13b as a privilege calculation method (discount amount, discount rate, point calculation condition, etc.). For example, the value of the privilege may be changed according to the date when the product is sold. For example, "20% and 30 days" can be "5% discount", and "5's day" can be doubled in points. Furthermore, when a member is a specific member (for example, a member of a specified range of age, a member whose birthday is the same day, etc.), a privilege different from usual may be given. In this case, it is applied when the data for identifying the member is read from the credit or the electronic money, or when the member card can be read in advance at the time of cash payment.

Further, the CPU 11a extracts the value of the privilege set for each individual product included in the payment information based on the registered product data. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, the privilege set for each individual product is applied when the payment method is an electronic money card. In the example of FIG. 4A, when purchasing six mineral waters with an electronic money card, "6 points (6P)" are extracted as a privilege. The merchandise targeted for the privilege may be predetermined, for example, or may be notified from the server 13 at an arbitrary timing, for example. When the notification is given from the server 13, for example, the operation of the administrator of the server 13 specifies the target product and the content of the privilege (calculation method).

For each payment method, the CPU 11a calculates the total of the benefits corresponding to the entire transaction from the benefit information calculated from the total amount of money and the benefit information associated with the individual products.

Note that the content of the privilege is an example, and another privilege may be given. For example, when there are a plurality of types of credit cards, the privilege can be given only to a specific credit card. In addition, the types of benefits given to the credit card and the electronic money card may be different. For example, when a credit card is used, points for a credit card are given, and when an electronic money card is used, points for an electronic money card are given, and various forms can be used. ..

Subsequently, the CPU 11a performs a settlement button on the touch panel 11g1 for the store clerk for instructing a settlement process by performing a closing operation in the product registration device 11, and a settlement for selecting the settlement device 12 to which the settlement information is transmitted. A transfer destination selection screen including a device designation button is displayed (Act8). The clerk can specify the payment device 12 to be executed by the shopper by touching any of the payment device specification buttons on the transfer destination selection screen.

Further, the CPU 11a causes the touch panel 11g2 to display a payment method selection screen including registered product data and subtotal information such as the total number of registered products and the total price (Act 9). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the payment method selection screen SC1 of the first embodiment displayed on the touch panel 11g2. On the payment method selection screen SC1, for example, a product display area R1 that displays a list of products to be purchased, a total display area R2 that displays the total number and the total amount of money, and a button for selecting a payment method are displayed. A button area R3 is provided. In the selection button area R3, selection buttons B1, B2, B3 corresponding to credit, electronic money, and cash are displayed as payment methods. As shown in FIG. 8, the CPU 11a associates each of the selection buttons B1, B2, and B3 with each other and displays the content of the privilege corresponding to the payment method calculated in the privilege calculation. In FIG. 8, for example, it is displayed that “6 points (6P)” is given when credit is selected as the payment method, and “15 points (15P)” is given when electronic money is selected as the payment method. Has been done. When "cash" is selected as the payment method, it is displayed that there is no privilege.

In this way, since the contents of the privilege corresponding to the plurality of payment methods are displayed on the payment method selection screen SC1, the shopper can grasp the contents of the privilege before selecting the payment method used for the settlement process, You can select the payment method that gives you the privilege.

Although the product display area R1 is provided in FIG. 8, when there are many products to be purchased, all the products cannot be displayed in a list, and thus the product display area R1 may be omitted.

When any of the buttons B1 to B3 displayed in the selection button area R3 is touched, the CPU 11a determines that the payment method is selected (Act10, Yes). The CPU 11a updates the selection flags F1 to F3 stored in the data memory area 33a according to the selection of the payment method (Act11). That is, the CPU 11a sets the selection flag F1, F2 or F3 corresponding to the selected payment method among the selection flags F1 to F3 stored in the data memory area 33a to “1”. Further, the CPU 11a resets the selection flag F1, F2 or F3 corresponding to a method other than the selected payment method to "0".

For example, when the button B1 corresponding to the credit card is touched, the CPU 11a sets the selection flag F1 to "1". At this time, if the other selection flag F2 or F3 is set to "1", the CPU 11a resets the selection flag F2 or F3 to "0".

After updating the selection flags F1 to F3, the CPU 11a returns to the standby state of Act10 and Act12. Therefore, the shopper can change the payment method on the payment method selection screen SC1 before the payment device 12 is designated by the store clerk. On the other hand, after the shopper selects the payment method, or when the shopper does not select the payment method in the product registration device 11, the clerk can touch any of the payment device designation buttons from the transfer destination selection screen. , A payment device 12 to be executed by the shopper.

When the payment device 12 is designated (Act 12, Yes), the CPU 11 a specifies the payment information and the privilege information (privilege information) calculated for each of the plurality of payment methods on the transfer destination selection screen. (Or, output to the server 13) (Act 13). When the payment information and the privilege information are output, the CPU 11a causes the touch panels 11g1 and 11g2 to display a notification screen for notifying the completion of transmission of the payment information (Act 14).

Although FIG. 8 shows the display form when points are awarded as a privilege for a plurality of payment methods, other display forms can be used. 9A and 9B are diagrams showing examples of other payment method selection screens SC1a and SC2b in the first embodiment.

On the payment method selection screen SC1a shown in FIG. 9A, the discount amount is displayed in association with the selection buttons B11, B12, B13 corresponding to each of the plurality of payment methods. In FIG. 7, when the discount rate of the data file 13b is set instead of the award points, the CPU 11a calculates the discount rate based on the discount rate and the total amount stored in the data memory area 32a. The CPU 11a displays the calculated discount amount in association with the selection buttons B11, B12, B13. In the display form shown in FIG. 9A, since a specific amount of money is displayed, it is possible to easily select a payment method that reduces the amount of payment. In the example of FIG. 9(A), in the data file 13b, the cash discount rate is set to zero, the credit card discount rate is set to 2%, and the electronic money discount rate is set to 5%. Not granted.

On the payment method selection screen SC1b shown in FIG. 9B, different privilege is displayed in association with the selection buttons B11, B12, B13 corresponding to each of the plurality of payment methods. In the example of FIG. 9B, in the data file 13b, the cash discount rate is set to zero, the credit card discount rate is set to 2%, and the electronic money discount rate is set to 5%. In addition, as a privilege of individual products, when purchasing a mineral water single item with an electronic money card, “1 point (1P)” is awarded as a privilege. Also, in the case of cash payment, it is set so that a coupon is issued. Further, on the method selection screen SC1b, not the discount amount but the discount rate is displayed. That is, the selection button B11 corresponding to the payment by credit card is displayed that a discount rate (2% discount) is given as a privilege, and the selection button B12 corresponding to the payment by electronic money is indicated as a point (a privilege). 6P) and a discount rate (5% discount) are displayed. Further, it is displayed that a "coupon" is given to the selection button B13 corresponding to cash payment. Therefore, even if different benefits are granted depending on the payment method, the shopper can easily compare the benefits and select a payment method that gives the desired benefit before selecting the payment method. be able to.

It should be noted that, in the above description, an example of displaying the privilege corresponding to the payment method after generating the payment information for all the products in response to the operation on the subtotal button, but all the products to be purchased It is also possible to display the information regarding the privilege according to the registration of the product before the registration of is completed.

In this case, the CPU 11a updates the registered merchandise data according to the inputted merchandise code (Act5), and calculates the privilege corresponding to each of the plurality of payment methods in the same manner as Act7 described above (Act15). For example, the CPU 11a calculates the privilege based on the information on the registered product added to the registered product data. The CPU 11a updates the product information on the registration screen according to the contents of the updated registered product data, and displays the privilege contents corresponding to each of the plurality of payment methods on the registration screen (Act 16). Thereafter, the CPU 11a updates the information on the privilege along with the information on the registered product on the registration screen in response to the input of the product code.

10A and 10B are diagrams showing an example of the registration screen SC1c in the first embodiment. FIG. 10A shows a registration screen when the first product “yogurt” is registered. The registration screen SC1c is provided with, for example, a product display area R4 that displays a list of registered products, a subtotal display area R5 that displays the number of registered products and a subtotal price, and a privilege display area R6 that displays information about benefits. ing. In the privilege display area R6, privilege display buttons B21, B22, B23 corresponding to each of the plurality of payment methods are displayed, and privilege information is displayed in association with the privilege display buttons B21, B22, B23.

The CPU 11a, for example, calculates points for a privilege based on the registered subtotal amount of the product and displays the points in the privilege display area R6. In the example shown in the registration screen SC1c shown in FIG. 10(A), when the credit card is used for payment based on "2P" displayed on the privilege display button B21, "Registered product" at the present time is " It can be understood that "2P" is given.

FIG. 10B shows a registration screen when the second product “apple” is registered. The CPU 11a calculates the privilege based on the subtotal amount updated by the registration of the second product, and updates the privilege information associated with the privilege display buttons B21, B22, B23 in the privilege display area R6. .. Thereby, the shopper can grasp the privilege for each of the plurality of payment methods during the registration of the products (before the registration of all the products to be purchased is completed). Therefore, the shopper can decide the payment method to be used for payment of settlement before the registration of all the products is completed, and can immediately select the payment method when the payment method selection screen SC1 is displayed. it can.

In addition, the privilege display buttons B21, B22, B23 do not only display the information of the privilege corresponding to each of the plurality of payment methods, but also function as the selection buttons B1, B2, B3 of the payment method selection screen SC1. May be. That is, the payment method can be selected by operating the privilege display buttons B21, B22, and B23. Thereby, the payment method can be selected before the registration of all the products is completed. In this case, the processing of Acts 9 to 11 can be omitted, and the processing time for one shopper in the product registration device 11 can be shortened.

Further, in the above description, the product registration device 11 allows the shopper to select the payment method, but the touch panel 11g1 for the store clerk displays the same payment method selection screen SC1 (SC1a to SC1c) as described above to the store clerk. The payment method may be selected by the operation of. Thereby, the clerk can explain the payment method advantageous to the shopper by referring to the information about the privilege, and can perform the operation of selecting the payment method on behalf of the shopper. Therefore, even for a shopper who is not accustomed to the operation of the touch panel 11g2 of the product registration device 11 or who has a difficult operation, it is possible to select the payment method after understanding the privilege.

Next, the operation of the payment device 12 in the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.
The settlement apparatus 12 (CPU 12a) displays a standby screen on the touch panel 12g in the initial state. The standby screen indicates that the payment process is not being performed, and what kind of information is displayed may be arbitrary. For example, the standby screen displays, for example, a message indicating that payment processing cannot be performed, or an arbitrary image representing an advertisement or the like as a screen saver.

In the standby state, the CPU 12a monitors receipt of payment information and privilege information from the product registration device 11. Here, when the receipt of the payment information and the privilege information is detected (Act 22, Yes), the CPU 12a records the payment information and the privilege information in the RAM 12c or the auxiliary storage unit 12d.

Here, the CPU 12a refers to the selection flags F1, F2, and F3 included in the privilege information to determine whether the flag is set to "1" (flag is on). In other words, the product registration device 11 determines whether the payment method has been selected. Here, when none of the selection flags F1, F2, F3 is set to “1” (Act 23, No), the CPU 12a determines that the payment method is not selected in the product registration device 11, and the payment method is selected. The selection screen is displayed on the touch panel 12g (Act 24). The CPU 12a displays a payment method selection screen including selection buttons corresponding to a plurality of payment methods, for example, similarly to Act9 in the product registration device 11. Further, the CPU 12a causes the plurality of selection buttons to display the information of the privilege corresponding to each of the plurality of selection buttons based on the privilege information received from the product registration device 11 (Act 25). That is, the payment device 12 does not perform the calculation of the privilege, and displays the payment method selection screen based on the privilege information generated by the calculation in the product registration device 11. When any of the selection button areas is touched, the CPU 12a determines that the payment method has been selected (Act 25, Yes), and displays the payment screen according to the selected payment method (Act 27).

On the other hand, when any of the selection flags F1, F2, and F3 included in the privilege information is set (flag on) to "1" (Act23, Yes), the CPU 12a has already selected the payment method in the product registration device 11. It is determined that there is, and the payment screen corresponding to the payment method set to “1” is displayed (Act 27). That is, by selecting the payment method in advance in the product registration device 11, the operation for selecting the payment method in the payment device 12 can be omitted. This can reduce the burden on the shopper who operates the settlement apparatus 12.

Similar to the payment screen SC2, the payment screens SC3 and SC4 are provided with display areas R7 to R9, and the display contents are changed according to the payment method. Detailed description is omitted. A payment button B41 is provided on the payment screens SC3 and SC4.

When the change button 31 of the payment screens SC2, SC3, SC4 is touch-operated (Act 28, Yes), the CPU 12a displays the payment method selection screen in the same manner as described above (Act 24). On the payment method selection screen, at least selection buttons similar to the selection buttons displayed in the selection button area R3 are displayed, and the privilege corresponding to each payment method is displayed in association with the selection button. Therefore, the shopper can confirm the contents of the privilege again and change the payment method.

Further, when the payment operation is performed while the payment screens SC2, SC3, and SC4 are displayed, the CPU 12a displays the next operation screen for advancing the processing required for the payment processing (Act30), and performs shopping. Accept input operations from customers. The CPU 12a executes the payment process when the operation required for the payment process is completed (Act 31). For example, when the payment screen SC2 is displayed, the CPU 12a updates the display of the input amount when cash is inserted, and when the settlement button B41 is touched after the amount required for payment is input, the payment information is displayed. Settle for the total amount indicated by. If there is change, the CPU 12a ejects the coin ejection tray 12e3 or the bill ejection opening 12e5, and ejects a receipt on which the result of the settlement processing is printed by the printer 12h from the receipt ejection opening 12h1 (Act 32). Further, the CPU 12a displays a payment screen SC2 for notifying the shopper of the completion of payment as shown in FIG. 12B, for example.

Further, when the payment screen SC3 is displayed, the CPU 12a executes a payment process using the credit card when the credit card is inserted into the card reader 12i1 (card insertion slot), and ejects the credit card and the receipt. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 13B, a payment screen SC3 for notifying the shopper of the completion of payment is displayed.
