JP7006305B2 - Cash register, withdrawal support methods and programs - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a cash register, a withdrawal support method and a program.

In recent years, machines that calculate the amount of change when coins, banknotes, etc. paid at the time of payment at retail stores and restaurants are inserted and automatically issue change have begun to spread. Such a machine is called an automatic change machine. As a result, it is possible to prevent mistakes in delivery of change and shorten the accounting time.

When a drawer is combined with a money registration machine, the clerk must calculate the amount of change using a calculator or an electronic cash register and pay out this change. On the other hand, when a cash register is combined with an automatic change machine, only the amount of change can be paid out by inserting the money received from the customer. As a result, the clerk can quickly pay out the change. However, automatic change machines are expensive and difficult to introduce in small stores.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the cash register machine assists the quick withdrawal of change coins regardless of the automatic change machine (Patent Document 1). The solution of the abstract of Patent Document 1 is to calculate the provisional change amount, which is the difference when it is assumed that the purchaser has presented only the banknotes to the total sales amount based on the data input related to the sales product. The expected number of returned coins a1 to a6 for each coin denomination, which is the number of coins to be paid out for each denomination of the provisional change amount, is calculated and displayed on the display unit 12 for each coin denomination. ".

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-034838

The invention described in Patent Document 1 presents the number of change coins, and does not mention banknotes. In addition, the clerk needs to recognize the number of change coins and take out a predetermined number of coins from the drawer, which is complicated.
In addition, with the recent internationalization, foreigners and other people who are not familiar with Japanese currency may become clerk. If such a foreign clerk makes a mistake in the correspondence between each denomination and money, there is a possibility that a mistake in delivery of change may occur.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to prevent mistakes related to withdrawals from drawers and to shorten the processing time for withdrawals .

In order to achieve the above object, the money registration machine according to the first aspect of the present invention is a money registration machine connected to a drawer in which a money storage area is divided into a plurality of sections, and the predetermined drawer is specified.

When displaying an image of the money, the display control unit is more likely to display the image of the money than when it is not applicable when the type of money corresponds to the type of money to be taken out in accordance with the opening timing. It is characterized in that the image of the money is displayed for each type of money so that the image of the money of the type is displayed in a large size .
Further, the money registration machine according to the second aspect of the present invention is a money registration machine connected to a drawer in which a money storage area is divided into a plurality of sections, and corresponds to a change payout timing. The display control unit includes a display control unit that displays layout information of the plurality of sections as an image in a drawer and displays information on the type of money stored in each of the plurality of sections as an image of the money. When displaying the image of the money, when the money of the type corresponds to the type of money to be paid out as change corresponding to the payout timing of the change, the image of the money of the type is better than when it is not applicable. It is characterized in that an image of the money is displayed for each type of money so that the image is displayed in a large size.
Further, the withdrawal support method according to the present invention is a withdrawal support method executed by a money registration machine connected to a drawer in which a money storage area is divided into a plurality of sections, and is a predetermined opening of the drawer. Corresponding to the timing, there is a display control process that displays the layout information of the plurality of sections as an image in the drawer and displays the type information of the money stored in each of the plurality of sections as an image of the money. However, in the display control process, when displaying an image of the money, when the type of money corresponds to the type of money to be taken out corresponding to the opening timing, the type of money is higher than that of the non-applicable type. It is characterized in that the image of money is displayed for each type of money so that the image of money is displayed in a large size.
Further, in the program according to the present invention, the computer of the money registration machine connected to the drawer in which the money storage area is divided into a plurality of compartments is made to correspond to a predetermined opening timing of the drawer, and the plurality of compartments are described.

That is, the CPU 11 of the electronic cash register 1 displays the notation of the denomination that does not need to be changed and the denomination that needs to be changed separately. Since unused banknotes and coins are preset, the CPU 11 expresses change with coins of other denominations. Here, it is set not to use the 2,000 yen bill.
By doing so, the electronic cash register 1 can prevent a clerk from making a mistake in delivering change and shorten the accounting time.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an accounting screen 3b and an image 4a in the drawer after the registration process when a 100-yen coin is missing in the drawer 2a.
Also in FIG. 4, the change amount is 8,108 yen. The 2,000-yen bill is preset so that it will not be used for change. Further, in the drawer 2a, a 100-yen coin is missing. At this time, the most rational number of coins for change is one 5,000-yen coin, three 1,000-yen coins, two 50-yen coins, one 5-yen coin, and three 1-yen coins. ..

In the image 4a in the drawer, the 5,000-yen bill area 49, the 1,000-yen bill area 47, the 50-yen coin area 44, the 5-yen coin area 42, and the 1-yen coin area 41, which are the denominations required for this change, are included. Each is displayed in orange to indicate that it is a necessary denomination for change. In addition, the other 10,000-yen bill areas 40, 2,000-yen bill areas 48, 500-yen coin areas 46, and 10-yen coin areas 43 are displayed in blue, respectively, indicating that they are unnecessary denominations for change. There is. Further, the 100-yen coin area 45 is displayed in gray to indicate that the change has been completed.

The CPU 11 of the electronic cash register 1 detects out-of-change coins or banknotes and substitutes them with other coins or banknotes. The electronic cash register 1 registers in advance the number of cash for change in the drawer 2 at the time of deposit. This registration process will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 described later.
Further, the electronic cash register 1 records the change in the number of cash for change due to the exchange. This exchange process will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 described later.

5 and 6 are flowcharts showing the product registration process.
When the clerk receives the customer's order and shifts the electronic cash register 1 to the product registration screen, the product registration process starts.
The CPU 11 of the electronic cash register 1 accepts a customer's order input (step S10) and determines the input (step S11) on the product registration screen (not shown).

In step S11, if the number is input by the clerk, the CPU 11 determines the quantity of the purchased product and returns to the process of step S10. In step S11, if the product information is input by the clerk, the CPU 11 determines the unit price of the purchased product with reference to PLU191, and returns to the process of step S10. In step S11, if the subtotal key is input by the clerk, the CPU 11 calculates the subtotal based on the unit price associated with the input product information and the input quantity (step S14).

After that, when the CPU 11 accepts the input of the received cash amount (step S15), the CPU 11 opens the drawer 2a (step S16). The CPU 11 estimates the denomination quantity when the deposit associated with sales is the most rational, and updates the balance information of each denomination in the drawer 2a (step S17). In most cases, the most rational payment type is used for deposits associated with sales. If the most rational payment type is not used, the ratio is quite small. Therefore, the CPU 11 updates the balance of each denomination on the assumption that the deposit associated with the sales is composed of the most rational payment denomination. If the most rational payment denomination is not used, the clerk may use the exchange function described later to match the denomination balance.

Next, the CPU 11 calculates the fishing amount by subtracting the amount of cash received from the subtotal amount (step S18). If there is no change (step S19 → No), the CPU 11 displays the accounting screen 3a (see FIG. 3) including the image 4a in the drawer (see FIG. 3) as 0 yen on the touch panel display 14 (step S20). , End this product registration process.

If there is change (step S19 → Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the drawer 2a is connected (step S20). If the drawer 2a is not connected (step S20 → No), the CPU 11 proceeds to the process of step S21. If the drawer 2a is connected (step S20 → Yes), the CPU 11 displays the accounting screen 3a (see FIG. 3) including the image 4a in the drawer (see FIG. 3) on the touch panel display 14 (step S22). The process of steps S30 to S43 of 5 is repeated. That is, the CPU 11 displays the layout information of the plurality of sections as the image 4a in the drawer corresponding to the opening timing of the drawer 2a, and displays the type information of the money stored in each of the plurality of sections.

In steps S30 to S43, the CPU 11 repeats the denomination from a 5000-yen bill to a 1-yen coin in descending order. The CPU 11 divides the amount of this denomination from the current amount of change (step S31). As a result, the CPU 11 is a process of calculating the number of change of this denomination. For example, when the change amount is 8,108 yen as shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 11 divides the change amount from the amount of the 5,000 yen bill to calculate one piece.

If the number of change of this denomination is not in the drawer 2a and the change is insufficient (step S32 → Yes), the CPU 11 numerically displays that this denomination is 0 in this denomination area of the image 4a in the drawer. Then, it is displayed in gray that the change is out (step S33). As a result, the CPU 11 substitutes the change with a smaller denomination (step S34), and proceeds to step S43. If the change is not insufficient (step S32 → No), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S33.

If the number of change of this denomination is 0, or if this denomination is designated as non-use (step S35 → Yes), the CPU 11 will place this denomination in this denomination area of the image 4a in the drawer. It is displayed in numbers and blue that it is 0 (step S36). As a result, the CPU 11 substitutes the change with a smaller denomination (step S37), and proceeds to step S43. If the number of change of this denomination is not 0 and this denomination is not designated as non-use (step S35 → No), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S38.

If the number of denominations in the drawer 2a is less than or equal to the threshold value (step S38 → Yes), the CPU 11 displays a balance warning in yellow (step S39) and proceeds to step S41. If the number of denominations exceeds the threshold value in the drawer 2a (step S38 → No), the CPU 11 displays that there is change in orange (step S40), and proceeds to step S41.

In step S41, the CPU 11 displays the number of changes as a number. The CPU 11 updates the balance of change from the number of denominations (step S42).
Specifically, when the denomination is a 5,000 yen bill and the change amount is 8,108 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 5,000 yen bills as one roll from this change amount and sets the balance of the change to 3, It will be 108 yen. It is the balance of this change that is used in the calculation in the next denomination.
When the denomination is a 1,000-yen bill and the change amount is 3,108 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of changes in the 1,000-yen bill to three from this change amount and sets the balance of the change to 108 yen.

When the denomination is a 500-yen coin and the change amount is 108 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 500-yen coins to be 0 and the balance of the change to 108 yen.
When the denomination is a 100-yen coin and the change amount is 108 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 100-yen coins to one from this change amount and sets the balance of the change to 8 yen.

When the denomination is a 50-yen coin and the change amount is 8 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 50-yen coins to be 0 from this change amount and sets the balance of the change to 8 yen.
When the denomination is a 10-yen coin and the change amount is 8 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 10-yen coins to be 0 from this change amount and sets the balance of the change to 8 yen.

When the denomination is a 5-yen coin and the change amount is 8 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 5-yen coins to one from this change amount and sets the balance of the change to 3 yen.
When the denomination is a 1-yen coin and the change amount is 3 yen, the CPU 11 sets the number of 1-yen coins to be 3 from this change amount.

In step S43, if the processing is not repeated up to 1 yen, the CPU 11 returns to the processing of step S30. If the processing is repeated up to 1 yen, the CPU 11 ends the registration processing of this product.

《Currency exchange processing》
The exchange process is a process of exchanging banknotes or coins of a certain denomination for lower-priced banknotes or coins at the request of a customer. Also in the exchange process, by using the image 4a in the drawer, it is possible to deposit and withdraw while suitably managing the remaining number of various denominations. The CPU 11 displays the number of money to be taken out corresponding to the opening timing of the drawer 2a in association with the section assigned to the type of money in the image 4a in the drawer.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an image 4a in the drawer during the exchange process.
When the operator taps the exchange button (not shown) from the main screen and taps the 10,000-yen note area 40 from the image 4a in the drawer, the exchange screen 5 is displayed.
In the exchange screen 5, the exchange column 51 is arranged in the upper left and the selection column 52 is arranged in the upper right. In the exchange column 51, the amount of the denomination to be exchanged is displayed. In the selection field 52, options 53a to 53c indicating options after exchange, an exchange execution button 54, and a "close" button 55 are displayed. Option 53a is to exchange for two 5000-yen bills. Option 53b is to exchange for one 5,000-yen bill and five 1,000-yen bills. Option 53b is to exchange for 10 1,000-yen bills.

On the exchange screen 5, the same image 4a in the drawer as in FIGS. 3 and 4 is displayed. When any of the options 53a to 53c is tapped, the denomination and the number of coins used for exchange are displayed in the image 4a in the drawer. Here, since the option 53b is tapped, the 5000-yen bill area 49 is displayed in orange, and further, "5,000-yen bill / one sheet" is displayed. The 1000-yen bill area 47 is displayed in orange, and further, "1000-yen bills, 5 sheets" are displayed. The other areas are displayed in blue, and the amount of each denomination and "0 yen" are displayed.
In this way, by displaying the exchange denomination and the amount of money in the place corresponding to the arrangement of each section of the drawer 2, the operator can hand over the exchange amount to the customer without error.
The image 4a in the drawer is also used for inputting the denomination to be exchanged. Here, the 10,000-yen bill area 40 is tapped, but for example, when the 5,000-yen bill area 49 is tapped, the denomination to be exchanged is switched to 5,000 yen, and the options 53a to 53c are 5,000 yen. It switches to the option corresponding to the exchange of bills.
By doing so, the electronic cash register 1 can prevent the clerk from making a mistake in delivering the exchange money and shorten the exchange time.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the exchange processing of the electronic cash register 1.
When the operator taps the exchange button (not shown) from the main screen, the process of step S50 is started.
The operator taps any denomination area of the image 4a in the drawer and inputs the denomination to be exchanged (step S50). In the exchange screen 5 shown in FIG. 7, since the 10,000 yen bill area 40 is tapped, the denomination to be exchanged is 10,000 yen.

Next, the CPU 11 acquires the exchange pattern from the denomination to be exchanged. The CPU 11 of the present embodiment acquires the exchange pattern from the table, but it may be acquired by calculation, for example, and is not limited.
When the CPU 11 displays the number of denominations in the default exchange pattern on the image 4a in the drawer (step S53), the CPU 11 determines the user operation (step S54).

In step S54, if the user operation is a tap of the exchange execution button 54, the CPU 11 proceeds to step S55, updates the exchange amount and the remaining number of each denomination with the selected exchange pattern, and performs the process of FIG. finish. Specifically, when the user taps the exchange execution button 54 in FIG. 7, the CPU 11 adds one remaining number of 10,000 yen bills, which is the exchange amount, and 5,000 yen bills based on the selected exchange pattern. The remaining number of 1000 yen bills is subtracted by 1, and the remaining number of 1000 yen bills is subtracted by 5.

In step S54, if the user operation is a tap of options 53a to 53c, the CPU 11 proceeds to step S56, displays the number of denominations in the selected exchange pattern on the image 4a in the drawer, and returns to the process of step S54. Specifically, when the user taps the option 53a in FIG. 7, the 5000-yen bill area 49 is displayed in orange, and further, "5,000-yen bills / two sheets" are displayed. The other areas are displayed in blue, and the amount of each denomination and "0 yen" are displayed.

In step S54, if the user operation is a tap of the denomination area of the image 4a in the drawer, the CPU 11 returns to step S51 and reacquires the exchange pattern.

The deposit screen 6 includes a denomination number area 61, a total column 62 below the denomination area 61, a numeric keypad 63, and an execute button 64.

The denomination number area 61 is an area for designating the denomination to be deposited by tapping, and is an area for displaying the number of denominations to be deposited. The numeric keypad 63 includes a key for inputting a number and an ENT key for confirming the input. The user taps the area of any denomination in the denomination number area 61, and then taps the numeric keypad 63 to input the number of denominations. As a result, the number of sheets to be deposited is displayed in the denomination number area 61.

The total column 62 is a column for displaying the total amount of money to be deposited. The execution button 64 is a button for confirming the combination of the denomination to be deposited and the number of sheets. By tapping the execution button 64, the CPU 11 adds the number of deposits to the remaining number of each denomination, and then displays the balance screen 7 shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 is an image 4a in the drawer of the number of various denominations and the balance after the deposit is executed.
On the balance screen 7, "the number of each denomination and the balance" is displayed in the title bar, and "the number of each denomination after depositing in the drawer is shown" is displayed below it.
Further, a total column 71 for displaying the total amount of money in the drawer 2a, a "close" button 72, and an image 4a in the drawer are displayed. In the image 4a in the drawer, each denomination and the remaining number of denominations are displayed. In this way, by displaying the remaining number of each denomination by the image 4a in the drawer, it is possible to easily detect the lack of fishing, further prevent the clerk from making a payment error, and shorten the time required for payment. can.

In the withdrawal process as well as the deposit process, it is possible to withdraw while suitably managing the remaining number of various denominations by using the image 4a in the drawer. As a result, the electronic cash register 1 can prevent a withdrawal error by a clerk and shorten the time required for withdrawal.

In FIG. 11, the areas of these denominations required for fishing are shown by hatching. That is, the CPU 11 of the electronic cash register 1 displays the notation of the denomination that does not need to be changed and the denomination that needs to be changed separately.
Since unused banknotes and coins are preset, the CPU 11 expresses change with coins of other denominations. Here, it is set not to use the 2,000 yen bill.

12 and 13 are flowcharts showing the registration process in the modified example.
When the clerk receives the customer's order and shifts the electronic cash register 1 to the product registration screen, the product registration process starts.
The CPU 11 of the electronic cash register 1 accepts a customer's order input (step S60) and determines the input (step S61) on the product registration screen (not shown).

In step S61, if the number is input by the clerk, the CPU 11 determines the quantity of the purchased product (step S62), and returns to the process of step S60. In step S61, if the product information is input by the clerk, the CPU 11 determines the unit price of the purchased product with reference to PLU191 (step S63), and returns to the process of step S60. In step S61, if the subtotal key is input by the store clerk, the CPU 11 calculates the subtotal based on the unit price associated with the input product information and the input quantity (step S64).

After that, when the CPU 11 accepts the input of the received cash amount (step S65), the CPU 11 opens the drawer 2a (step S66). The CPU 11 estimates the denomination quantity when the deposit associated with sales is the most rational, and updates the balance information of each denomination in the drawer 2a (step S67). In most cases, the most rational payment type is used for deposits associated with sales. If the most rational payment type is not used, the ratio is quite small. Therefore, the CPU 11 updates the balance of each denomination on the assumption that the deposit associated with the sales is composed of the most rational payment denomination. If the most rational payment denomination is not used, the clerk may use the exchange function described later to match the denomination balance.

Next, the CPU 11 calculates the fishing amount by subtracting the amount of cash received from the subtotal amount (step S68). If there is no change (step S69 → No), the CPU 11 displays the accounting screen 3a (see FIG. 3) that does not include the image 4a in the drawer (see FIG. 3) with the change as 0 yen on the touch panel display 14 (step S70). , End this product registration process.

If there is change (step S69 → Yes), the CPU 11 determines whether or not the drawer 2a is connected (step S70). If the drawer 2a is not connected (step S70 → No), the CPU 11 proceeds to the process of step S71. If the drawer 2a is connected (step S70 → Yes), the CPU 11 displays the accounting screen 3a (see FIG. 3) including the image 4a in the drawer (see FIG. 3) on the touch panel display 14 (step S72). The process of steps S80 to S93 of 5 is repeated.

In steps S80 to S93, the CPU 11 repeats the denomination from a 5000-yen bill to a 1-yen coin in descending order. The CPU 11 divides the amount of this denomination from the current amount of change (step S81). As a result, the CPU 11 is a process of calculating the number of change of this denomination. For example, when the change amount is 8,108 yen as shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 11 divides the change amount from the amount of the 5,000 yen bill to calculate one piece.

If the number of change of this denomination is not in the drawer 2a and the change is insufficient (step S82 → Yes), the CPU 11 indicates that this denomination is 0 in this denomination area of the image 4a in the drawer with a small icon. It is displayed, and the fact that the change is out is displayed in gray (step S83). As a result, the CPU 11 substitutes the change with a smaller denomination (step S84), and proceeds to step S93. If the change is not insufficient (step S82 → No), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S83.

If the number of change of this denomination is 0, or if this denomination is designated as non-use (step S85 → Yes), the CPU 11 will place this denomination in this denomination area of the image 4a in the drawer. The fact that there are no sheets is displayed with a small icon and blue (step S86). As a result, the CPU 11 substitutes the change with a smaller denomination (step S87), and proceeds to step S93. If the number of change of this denomination is not 0 and this denomination is not designated as non-use (step S85 → No), the CPU 11 proceeds to step S88.

If the number of denominations in the drawer 2a is less than or equal to the threshold value (step S88 → Yes), the CPU 11 displays a balance warning in yellow (step S89) and proceeds to step S91. If the number of denominations exceeds the threshold value in the drawer 2a (step S88 → No), the CPU 11 displays that there is change in orange (step S90), and proceeds to step S91.

In step S91, the CPU 11 displays the number of changes as the number of icons. The CPU 11 updates the balance of change from the number of denominations (step S92).

In step S93, if the processing is not repeated up to 1 yen, the CPU 11 returns to the processing of step S80. If the processing is repeated up to 1 yen, the CPU 11 ends the registration processing of this product.

FIG. 20 is a flowchart of a process of switching the image 4 in the drawer according to the connected drawer 2.
When the CPU 81 of the tablet terminal 8 needs to display the image 4 in the drawer, the processing after step S90 is started.

First, the CPU 81 determines whether or not it can be connected to the drawer 2 (step S90). If the CPU 81 cannot be connected to the drawer 2 (step S90 → No), the display of the image 4 in the drawer is omitted thereafter (step S91), and this switching process is terminated.
If the CPU 81 can be connected to the drawer 2 (step S90 → Yes), the CPU 81 establishes communication with the drawer 2 (step S92) and acquires the drawer type.

Then, the CPU 81 determines whether or not the drawer type is the B type (step S94). If the drawer type is not the B type (step S94 → No), the CPU 81 displays the image 4a in the drawer of the A type and ends this switching process. An example of displaying the image 4a in the drawer of the A type in this way is shown in FIG. 23.

If the drawer type is B type (step S94 → Yes), the CPU 81 acquires the relative position of the drawer 2b (step S96). The relative velocity with the drawer 2b is obtained by integrating the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 86, and the relative position with the drawer 2b is obtained by further integrating this relative velocity. The position relative to the drawer 2b may be obtained from the image data output from the camera 85, not limited to the acceleration sensor 86.

In step S97, the CPU 81 determines the relative position between the drawer 2 and the tablet terminal 8. If the relative position with the drawer 2 is to the right, the CPU 81 displays the image 4c in the drawer of the B type on the left side of the screen (step S98), and ends this switching process. FIG. 21 shows an example in which the image 4c in the drawer of the B type is displayed on the left side of the screen in this way.

If the position relative to the drawer 2 is in the center, the CPU 81 displays the B-type drawer image 4c in the center of the screen (step S99), and ends this switching process.
If the relative position with the drawer 2 is to the left, the CPU 81 displays the image 4c in the drawer of the B type on the right side of the screen (step S100), and ends this switching process. FIG. 22 shows an example in which the image 4c in the drawer of the B type is displayed on the right side of the screen in this way.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing that the image 4c in the drawer is displayed on the left side of the screen when the tablet terminal 8 is relatively moved to the right side.
A tablet terminal 8 is installed on the drawer 2b. The tablet terminal 8 is relatively to the right when viewed from the operator. The accounting screen 3d is displayed on the touch panel display 84 of the tablet terminal 8.
At the bottom of the accounting screen 3d, the image 4c in the drawer is displayed on the left side of the screen.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing that when the tablet terminal 8 is relatively leftward, the image 4b in the drawer is displayed on the right side of the screen.
A tablet terminal 8 is installed on the drawer 2b. The tablet terminal 8 is relatively leftward when viewed from the operator. The accounting screen 3d is displayed on the touch panel display 84 of the tablet terminal 8.
At the bottom of the accounting screen 3d, the image 4c in the drawer is displayed on the right side of the screen.

In this way, since the display position of the image 4c in the drawer is changed based on the relative position between the drawer 2 and the tablet terminal 8, the user can use each section in the drawer 2 and each area of the image 4c in the drawer. It can be easily associated.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an image 4a inside the drawer when connected to the A-type drawer 2a.
A tablet terminal 8 is installed on the drawer 2a. The tablet terminal 8 is relatively leftward when viewed from the operator. The accounting screen 3a is displayed on the touch panel display 84 of the tablet terminal 8.
At the bottom of the accounting screen 3a, the image 4a in the drawer is displayed.

In this way, since the image 4 in the drawer is switched according to the connected drawer type, the user can easily associate each section in the drawer 2 with each area of the image 4c in the drawer.

(Modification example)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, there are the following (a) to (c).
(A) The section of the drawer to which the electronic cash register and the tablet terminal are connected is not limited to the A type and the B type, and may be another section layout.
