FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of a sales data processing device 1 and a font built-in memory 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The sales data processing device 1 is installed in a store such as a retail store or a restaurant, and registers sales data (including the contents of the commercial transaction) in the commercial transaction. Here, an electronic cash register (ECR: Electronic Cash Registers) is assumed as the sales data processing device 1. On the other hand, the font built-in memory 2 is removable from the sales data processing device 1 and is used to change the font and form of the receipt printed by the sales data processing device 1. Hereinafter, the configuration of each device will be described.

<Structure of Sales Data Processing Device According to First Embodiment>
The sales data processing device 1 includes a keyboard 11, an operator display 12, a customer display 13, a printer 14, a cash drawer 15, a mode changeover switch 16, a slot 17, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22. , RAM (Random Access Memory) 23 is provided. Each configuration is connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via an internal bus or each input / output circuit (not shown).

The keyboard 11 is composed of a plurality of buttons for operating the sales data processing device 1. The keyboard 11 has, for example, a number key for inputting numbers, a PLU (Price Lookup) key for registering individual products, a subtotal key for displaying the total amount of registered products, and registration completion. It also includes a settlement key for making payments, a receipt issuing key for issuing receipts, a receipt issuing key for issuing receipts, and the like.

The operator display 12 and the customer display 13 are, for example, liquid crystal displays. The operator display 12 displays the name, amount, quantity, etc. of the registered product to the operator. On the other hand, the customer display 13 displays the amount, quantity, etc. of the registered product to the customer.

The printer 14 is, for example, a thermal transfer printer, and issues a receipt or a journal in which sales data (product name, amount of money, etc.) in a commercial transaction is printed on a receipt paper or a journal paper. The printer 14 may be configured separately for each object to be printed, such as a device for issuing a receipt and a device for issuing a journal. Further, the printer 14 may be a device that issues only a receipt.

The cash drawer 15 is a drawer for storing banknotes, coins, cash vouchers, etc. that are handled at the time of accounting for goods. The cash drawer 15 is opened by sliding it toward the operator side (front side) by operating the keyboard 11 by the operator.

The mode changeover switch 16 changes the mode of the sales data processing device 1. Here, the mode of the sales data processing device 1 includes, for example, a registration mode for registering a product in a commercial transaction, a calculator mode for performing calculator calculation, a setting mode for setting, a power-off mode for ending use, and the like.

The slot 17 physically connects the sales data processing device 1 and the font built-in memory 2. The slot 17 may be, for example, a gap-shaped hole for inserting the font built-in memory 2. When the font built-in memory 2 is not installed, the slot 17 is preferably covered with a cover.

The CPU 21 is a central control device and controls the entire sales data processing device 1. The CPU 21 controls various operations such as product registration processing, accounting processing, display processing on displays 12 and 13, and receipt printing processing.
The ROM 22 is a non-volatile storage means that can be read, and stores a control program or the like executed by the CPU 21.
The RAM 23 is a volatile storage means capable of writing and reading, and is a temporary storage means used by the CPU 21.

<Structure of font built-in memory according to the first embodiment>
The font built-in memory 2 includes a connection terminal 31, a controller 32, and a flash memory chip 33. Each configuration is connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via an internal bus or each input / output circuit (not shown).

The connection terminal 31 physically connects the font built-in memory 2 to another device (here, the sales data processing device 1). The connection terminal 31 has a shape corresponding to the slot 17, and here, the connection terminal 31 has a shape of fitting into a gap-shaped hole. When not attached to the sales data processing device 1, the connection terminal 31 is preferably covered with a cover.

The controller 32 is a semiconductor component that controls the font built-in memory 2. Data transfer between the font built-in memory 2 and another device (here, the sales data processing device 1) to which the font built-in memory 2 is connected is performed under the control of the controller 32 according to a predetermined specification. This specification is not particularly limited. That is, it may be an existing specification, or it may be a newly created specification different from the existing specification.

The flash memory chip 33 is a non-volatile storage means that can be read out, and is read out by the CPU 21. The information stored in the flash memory chip 33 cannot be saved in the sales data processing device 1, and the information can be used only when the font built-in memory 2 is connected to the sales data processing device 1. can.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functions of the sales data processing device 1 and the font built-in memory 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The CPU 21 of the sales data processing device 1 includes an input acquisition unit 41, a sales information registration unit 42, and an output control unit 43 by executing a program (not shown) stored in the ROM 22.

The input acquisition unit 41 accepts an input operation using the keyboard 11 and acquires various input information. For example, when registering a product, an operator accepts an input operation for product registration using the keyboard 11. Further, when performing accounting processing, the operator accepts an operation of inputting an amount of money using the keyboard 11.

The sales information registration unit 42 registers the transaction detail data 23a in the RAM 23 using the input information acquired by the input acquisition unit 41. When the product content data (not shown) including information such as the product name and the unit price is stored in the RAM 23, the sales information registration unit 42 registers the transaction detail data 23a using the product content data. You may.

The output control unit 43 controls the display processing on the operator display 12 and the customer display 13 and the printing processing of the receipt. The output control unit 43 includes a display control unit 44 and a print control unit 45.
The display control unit 44 displays the input information and the transaction detail data 23a acquired by the input acquisition unit 41 on the operator display 12 and the customer display 13.

The print control unit 45 prints the transaction details data 23a on the receipt paper using the printer 14. Here, the ROM 22 stores the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b used for printing the receipt. The standard font data 22a is information about the font of the receipt set at the time of shipment. Further, the standard form data 22b is information about the form of the receipt set at the time of shipment. The print control unit 45 prints the receipt using the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b stored in the ROM 22 in a state where the font built-in memory 2 is not connected.

On the other hand, the flash memory chip 33 in the font built-in memory 2 stores the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b used for printing on the receipt paper as a combination. The print control unit 45 prints on the receipt paper using the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b stored in the flash memory chip 33 in a state where the font built-in memory 2 is connected.

The special font data 33a is font data (font data different from the standard font data 22a) that is not stored in advance in the sales data processing device 1. For example, when the standard font data 22a is a "regular script", the special font data 33a may be a "line typeface", a "round character typeface", a "cursive typeface", or the like. The round typeface is supposed to be a typeface that looks like it was handwritten by a human. Further, the special form data 33b is form data (form data different from the standard form data 22b) that is not stored in advance in the sales data processing device 1. For example, when the standard form data 22b is "horizontal writing without ruled lines", the special form data 33b may be "horizontal writing with ruled lines", "horizontal writing with double characters", "vertical writing" and the like.

Here, for the combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b, it is preferable to consider the legibility of the receipt and the like. For example, in Mincho font, the lines of characters are thinner than other fonts, so if the size of the characters is small, the receipt will be difficult to see. Therefore, when the special font is a font with thin character lines such as Mincho font, it is better to combine a special form (for example, double characters) with a larger character size.

Further, the combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b can produce the atmosphere of the store to be installed or represent the contents of the work performed in the store. For example, by combining a semi-cursive script as a special font and a vertical writing form as a special form, it is possible to create a pure Japanese atmosphere or represent a Japanese restaurant. In addition, by combining a round typeface as a special font and a special form with ruled lines added, it is possible to create a handwritten slip style or represent a concept cafe.

The combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an example of a combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b.

In FIG. 3A, a special form is associated with a special font in a “one-to-one” manner. Specifically, the special form "Form A (double character)" is associated with the special font "Mincho style". In addition, a special form "form B (vertical writing)" is associated with the special font "semi-cursive script". In addition, the special form "Form C (add ruled line)" is associated with the special font "round character typeface". In addition, the special form "Form D (add ruled line)" is associated with the special font "cursive".

A receipt printed using the combination of the special font and the special form shown in FIG. 3A is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 (a standard font and a receipt printed using the standard form are also described as comparative examples).

FIG. 4A is an example of a receipt printed using a standard font and a standard form.
FIG. 4B is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of the special font “Mincho style” and the special form “Form A (double character)”.
FIG. 4C is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of the special font “semi-cursive script” and the special form “form B (vertical writing)”.
FIG. 5A is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of the special font “round character typeface” and the special form “form C (adding ruled lines)”.
FIG. 5B is an example of a receipt printed using a combination of the special font “cursive” and the special form “form D (adding ruled lines)”.

Returning to FIG. 3, the combination of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b will be described. In FIG. 3B, special fonts and special forms are associated with categories. Here, the category may be, for example, an impression when a receipt is printed using a combination of a special font and a special form, and is a reference when selecting a combination of the special font and the special form. Is good. Here, the category "pure Japanese style" is associated with the combination of the special font "semi-cursive script" and the special form "form B (vertical writing)". In addition, the category "handwriting style" is associated with the combination of the special font "round character typeface" and the special form "form C (adding ruled lines)". In addition, the category "elegant style" is associated with the combination of the special font "cursive" and the special form "form D (adding ruled lines)". In this case, the operator can more easily select a special font and a special form that match the atmosphere of the store by selecting a category.

In FIG. 3 (c), a special font and a special form are associated with each industry. Here, the type of business may, for example, classify the stores in which the sales data processing device 1 is installed, and may be used as a reference when selecting a combination of a special font and a special form. Here, the industry "Japanese restaurant" is associated with the combination of the special font "semi-cursive script" and the special form "form B (vertical writing)". In addition, the industry "concept cafe" is associated with the combination of the special font "round typeface" and the special form "form C (adding ruled lines)". In addition, the industry "Italian restaurant" is associated with the combination of the special font "cursive" and the special form "form D (additional ruled line)". In this case, the operator can more easily select a special font and a special form that match the contents of the business performed in the store by selecting the type of business.

Returning to FIG. 2, the description of the font built-in memory 2 will be continued. As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 32 of the font built-in memory 2 includes a memory chip control unit 51. The memory chip control unit 51 controls the transfer of data between the font built-in memory 2 and the sales data processing device 1.

<Operation of the sales data processing device according to the first embodiment>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing processing when the font built-in memory 2 is connected to the sales data processing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
The sales data processing device 1 starts a series of processes shown in FIG. 6 by switching the mode to the “setting mode” by operating the mode changeover switch 16 (see FIG. 1) by the operator. Here, when the operator wants to change the font and form of the receipt, the font built-in memory 2 is preliminarily attached to the sales data processing device 1 in the "power OFF mode".

First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the font built-in memory 2 is attached to the sales data processing device 1 (step S1). When the font built-in memory 2 is not installed (“No” in step S1), the CPU 21 determines the standard font and the standard form built in the ROM 22 as the font and form for the receipt (step S2). Then, this process is terminated. On the other hand, when the font built-in memory 2 is installed (“Yes” in step S1), the CPU 21 advances the process to step S3.

When the built-in font memory 2 is installed (“Yes” in step S1), the CPU 21 acquires the information of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b stored in the flash memory chip 33 of the built-in font memory 2. Then, the acquired information is displayed on the operator display 12 (step S3). For the display of the information of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b, for example, when the contents shown in FIG. 3A are stored, the names of a plurality of selectable special fonts are displayed in a list on the operator display 12. do. Further, when the content shown in FIG. 3B is stored, the names of a plurality of selectable categories are displayed in a list on the operator display 12, or the content shown in FIG. 3C is stored. In this case, the names of a plurality of selectable industries may be displayed in a list on the operator display 12. As a result, the operator can confirm the contents of the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b stored in the flash memory chip 33.

Next, the CPU 21 accepts the operator to select a special font and a special form (step S4). The operator selects a special font and a special form using the keyboard 11. For example, the operator selects a category that suits the atmosphere of the store when the names of the plurality of categories that can be selected in step S3 are listed on the operator display 12. In this case, selecting a category means selecting a special font that corresponds to that category. Further, the operator selects an industry that suits the business of the store when the names of a plurality of industries that can be selected in step S3 are listed on the operator display 12. In this case, selecting an industry means selecting a special font corresponding to that industry.

Next, the CPU 21 determines the special font and special form selected by the operator in step S4 as the font and form for the receipt (step S5). Information on the special font and special form determined here is stored in, for example, RAM 23, and the print control unit 45 acquires the special font and special form from the flash memory chip 33 using this information when printing the receipt. .. Then, this process is terminated.

Next, the product registration process and the receipt printing process in the sales data processing device 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a product registration process and a receipt printing process of the sales data processing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
It is assumed that the mode of the sales data processing device 1 is switched to the "registration mode" by the operation of the mode changeover switch 16 by the operator.

First, the product is registered by the operation of the keyboard 11 by the operator (step S11). Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the registration of all the products has been completed (step S12). If the registration of all the products has not been completed (“No” in step S12), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S11. On the other hand, when the registration of all the products is completed (“Yes” in step S12), the CPU 21 advances the process to step S13. The process of step S12 is performed, for example, when the settlement key is selected by the operator.

Next, the sales information registration unit 42 creates transaction detail data 23a using the information registered in step S11 (step S13). Subsequently, the print control unit 45 determines whether or not the font built-in memory 2 is attached to the sales data processing device 1 (step S14). When the font built-in memory 2 is not installed (“No” in step S14), the print control unit 45 reads the transaction detail data 23a and uses the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b built in the ROM 22. The contents of the transaction detail data 23a read out in use are printed on a receipt sheet (step S15). On the other hand, when the built-in font memory 2 is attached (“Yes” in step S14), the print control unit 45 reads the transaction detail data 23a and stores it in the flash memory chip 33 of the built-in font memory 2. The contents of the transaction detail data 23a read out using the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b are printed on the receipt paper (step S16). Then, after finishing this process, the operator hands the receipt printed in step S15 or step S16 to the customer.

As described above, the sales data processing device 1 according to the first embodiment includes a slot 17 in which the font built-in memory 2 is installed. Then, the sales data processing device 1 reads the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b stored in the font built-in memory 2 with the font built-in memory 2 attached, and the read special font data 33a and the special form The data 33b is used to print on the receipt paper. Therefore, in the sales data processing device 1 according to the first embodiment, even if a plurality of font data and form data are not built in in advance, the atmosphere of the store is produced by the receipt and the contents of the business performed in the store are represented. be able to.

Further, assuming that the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b are used by the license agreement, in the sales data processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, only the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b having the license agreement are used. It is also possible to store it in the font built-in memory 2 and distribute it.

<Structure of sales data processing device according to the second embodiment>
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the functions of the sales data processing device 101 and the font built-in memory 102 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
In the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the special font data 33a and the special form data 33b are stored in the flash memory chip 33 of the built-in font memory 2. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the special font data 33a is stored in the flash memory chip 133 of the built-in font memory 102, and the special form data 33b is stored in the ROM 122 of the sales data processing device 101.

The memory chip control unit 151 transfers the special font data 33a stored in the flash memory chip 133 to the CPU 121. Here, when a plurality of special font data 33a are stored in the flash memory chip 133, the memory chip control unit 151 transfers the special font data 33a in combination with the special form data 33b stored in the ROM 122. You may try to do it. In that case, the CPU 121 is preliminarily provided with information regarding the combination of the special form data 33b stored in the ROM 122 and the special font data 33a stored in the flash memory chip 133, and the special font transferred under the control of the CPU 121. It is better to select the data 33a. When there are a plurality of corresponding combinations, the operator may select any of these combinations.

The print control unit 145 prints on the receipt paper using the standard font data 22a and the standard form data 22b stored in the ROM 122 in a state where the font built-in memory 102 is not connected.
On the other hand, the print control unit 145 prints on the receipt paper using the special font data 33a stored in the flash memory chip 133 and the special form data 33b stored in the ROM 122 in a state where the font built-in memory 102 is connected. ..
