Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to information processing devices and programs.

Conventionally, a point system has been widely used in which points are given to a customer according to the purchase price, and the customer can use the acquired points in a later transaction to give a discount or the like. In such a point system, for example, the server of the point management company (hereinafter referred to as the point management server) uses the membership number, that is, the card number of the point card, to collect the accumulated points earned by the customer at each store. , There is an operation method such as collective management. In such an operation, a sales data processing device such as a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal of a store exchanges data related to points with a point management server, and performs processing related to points in cooperation.

By the way, although the point card membership application procedure has been completed, the card number can be read from the point card, such as when the registration to the system is not completed or when the point card member is withdrawn and the card is invalid. Can not be added. As a response when such an error occurs, the clerk in charge of the POS terminal turns the customer to the service counter, and the clerk in charge of the service counter handles the error. For example, the clerk in charge of the service counter reads the point card again and inquires the system about the registration status of the point card to investigate. Then, the clerk in charge of the service counter confirms the response result from the system, informs the customer of the error content, and proposes an error coping method.

Conventionally, there has been a request to promptly confirm the member registration status (point card registration status) when such a point card error occurs.

An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide an information processing device and a program capable of more easily knowing the registration state of a point card when a point card reading error occurs.

The information processing apparatus of the embodiment has a first input receiving means that accepts input of identification information of a point card, and manages the identification information, information about a point, and a status code indicating a registration status of the point card in association with each other. A second code reading means that reads a status code indicating the registration status corresponding to the identification information received by the input receiving means from the storage means, the status code, and a message corresponding to the registration status. A calculation means for calculating a point value based on a message reading means for reading the message corresponding to the status code read by the code reading means from the storage means and a total payment amount of the current transaction for which the identification information is received. Represents the addition state of the point value calculated by the calculation means according to the registration state of the status code, which is the status code read by the code reading means and the message read by the message reading means.

The control unit 11 of the POS terminal 1 registers the product via the registration screen 191 (see FIG. 6) displayed on the clerk display 19 (step S1). That is, when the scanner 16 reads the product code, the control unit 11 reads the product information corresponding to the product code from the product master 201 (see FIG. 5). Further, the control unit 11 displays the read product information on the registration screen 191. When the current total key 150 is operated on the keyboard 15 (step S2: Yes), the control unit 11 updates the total price of the product and proceeds to step S3. While the current total key 150 is not operated (step S2: No), the process of step S1 is repeated.

If the point card has been read (step S3: Yes), the process proceeds to step S10, and if the point card has not been read (step S3: No), the process proceeds to step S4. When the magnetic card RW17 reads the membership number from the magnetic information of the point card, the input receiving unit 51 accepts the membership number (step S4). The process of step S4 may be interruptable during the product registration process of step S1. The point management unit 52 transmits the member number received in step S4 to the point management server 6 and inquires about the information associated with the member number (step S5).

The control unit 61 of the point management server 6 searches the status management table 682 for the member information and the status code corresponding to the inquired member number (step S21). The control unit 61 extracts the member information and the status code from the status management table 682 and sends and responds to the POS terminal 1 (step S22).

The point management unit 52 of the POS terminal 1 receives the member information and the status code from the point management server 6 (step S6). The display control unit 53 extracts the display message 192 corresponding to the received status code from the status management table 682 and reads it (step S7). Further, the print control unit 54 extracts the print message 71 corresponding to the status code received from the point management server 6 from the status management table 682 and reads it (step S8). The display control unit 53 displays and outputs the display message 192 read in step S7 on the registration screen 191 of the clerk display 19 (step S9).

While the operation of the confirmation key 151 is not accepted by the keyboard 15 of the POS terminal 1 (step S10: No), the process returns to step S1 and the processing after step S1 is continued. When the operation of the confirmation key 151 is accepted (step S10: Yes), the print control unit 54 is read in step S8 in addition to the product information, the quantity, the unit price, and the total amount displayed on the registration screen 191. Receipt data, which is print data for one receipt, including the print message 71, is generated (step S11). The print control unit 54 outputs the receipt data generated in step S11 to the printer 22, and prints out the receipt by the printer 22 (step S12).

As described above, according to the above embodiment, the POS terminal 1 outputs a print message corresponding to the status code of the point card to the receipt, so that the error summary can be known at the time of accounting. Therefore, if the error content can be dealt with by the customer, it becomes easy for the customer to take an action to resolve the error. Also, when a customer goes to a service counter to investigate and resolve an error, the service counter clerk can know the error summary in advance, which makes it easier to deal with the error and improves the efficiency of customer handling. Can be planned.

In addition, in the past, even if a store clerk took the trouble to investigate an error by going to the service counter, it would be useless. For example, in the unregistered state where the registration to the system is not completed as described above, even if the cause of the error is known, if the member registration is not completed, the customer will end up with a period until the registration process is completed. All you have to do is wait until the points are registered. In addition, if the person does not know that he / she has withdrawn due to the family's withdrawal procedure, he / she may go to the service counter to check it and then simply know the fact that he / she has withdrawn. ..

In response to such a case, according to the above embodiment, since the information corresponding to the registration status of the point card is output on the receipt, the cashier or the customer can promptly obtain the information regarding the error status. Further, even in the work of the service counter, if the error code (status code) can be known in advance, the efficiency of the work related to the explanation and the investigation can be improved.
