Description

The present invention relates to a sales data processing device and program.

When disasters such as earthquakes and fires occur, means of communication with the outside cannot be secured, and the use of ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines), credit cards, etc. may become impossible. In that case, it is conceivable that the disaster victims will not be able to sufficiently purchase supplies such as daily necessities due to a shortage of cash at hand. Therefore, when a disaster occurs, it is necessary to make a temporary settlement using a method other than cash.

In view of such a problem, in Patent Document 1, a customer purchases an emergency set containing a disaster application card at a predetermined store in advance, and after a disaster occurs, the emergency set is installed at the predetermined store or its group stores. There is disclosed a disaster victim support system capable of issuing in-store purchase coupons for purchasing products in the store by causing an information terminal device to read the disaster application card.

In addition, conventional sales data processing devices such as ECR (Electronic Cash Register) have a function to conduct transactions by credit sales (credit sales, credit sales), which is a sales method in which goods are sold in advance with a promise to receive payment later. Many of them are provided (for example, see Patent Document 2). Therefore, it is conceivable to conduct rental transactions as a temporary transaction method that does not require cash even when a disaster occurs.

[Operation of sales data processing device 1]
The sales data processing device 1 has two operation modes for product registration: a normal mode (first mode) and a disaster response mode (second mode). The normal mode is an operation mode capable of executing the function as the first transaction means for registering the information of the product and the information of the price paid by the customer in the transaction in association with each other when the product is traded. The disaster response mode is a mode in which product transactions can be performed on a rental basis. This is an operation mode capable of executing the function as a second transaction means for registering the information of the rental price, which is the price to be paid by the customer in the transaction, in association with the information. In normal mode, it cannot function as a second means of transaction.
In the normal mode, the special handling flag is set to OFF in the flag storage area 142 of the storage unit 14, and in the disaster response mode, the special handling flag is set to ON.

FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing an example of a product registration screen 121 displayed on the store clerk display unit 12 at the time of product registration. 4A shows the product registration screen 121 displayed in the normal mode, and FIG. 4B shows the product registration screen 121 displayed in the disaster response mode.
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the product registration screen 121 includes a product button 121a, a numeric keypad 121b, a registered product list display field 121c, a subtotal button 121d, and a cash/deposit (cash/deposit) button 121e. , a total amount display column 121f, a tax display column 121g, and the like are provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, in the case of the disaster response mode, the product registration screen 121 displays a disaster rental button 121h. This disaster lending button 121h is a button for selecting execution of the second transaction process in the disaster response mode, and is not displayed in the normal mode. As a result, it is possible to prevent a loan sale from being made by pressing the loan sale button by mistake in the normal mode.

(Switching to disaster response mode)
The sales data processing device 1 is set to the normal mode by default, and can be switched to the disaster response mode according to the operation of the store clerk.
FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the flow of mode switching processing A for switching from the normal mode to the disaster response mode. The mode switching process A is executed by cooperation between the CPU 10 and the processing program 141 .

In the normal mode, when the touch panel 111 detects the input of a specific code using the numeric keypad 121b and the pressing of the cash/deposit button 121e (first operation) (step S1), the CPU 10 stores the flag storage area 142 of the storage unit 14. By referring to it, it is determined whether or not the special handling flag is OFF (step S2).

When determining that the special handling flag is OFF (step S2; YES), the CPU 10 sets the special handling flag to ON (step S3), and terminates the mode switching process A.

When it is determined that the special handling flag is ON (step S2; NO), the CPU 10 causes the store clerk display section 12 to display "already in disaster response mode" (step S4), and performs mode switching processing A. finish. When the mode is switched to the disaster response mode, the CPU 10 displays a disaster rental button 121h on the product registration screen 121 (see FIG. 4B).

(Operation in disaster response mode)
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of product registration processing (referred to as product registration processing A) in the disaster response mode (state in which the special response flag is ON). The product registration process A is executed by cooperation between the CPU 10 and the processing program 141 .

First, the CPU 10 accepts product registration (step S11).
Merchandise registration can be performed, for example, by pressing the merchandise button 121 a by a store clerk or by reading a barcode provided on the merchandise with the barcode reader of the input reception unit 11 . Information (product name, quantity, price, tax information, etc.) registered as a product is temporarily stored in the RAM 13 .

When the product registration is completed, the CPU 10 receives input of the customer identification information recorded (written) on the point card (step S12). The customer identification information can be input, for example, by reading the information (customer identification information) recorded on the point card with the card reader of the input reception unit 11 . Alternatively, it can be performed by reading a barcode representing customer identification information written on a point card with a barcode reader.

Here, when the store clerk operating the sales data processing apparatus 1 receives the point card from the customer, he confirms whether normal payment is acceptable. If the customer wants to pay after the purchase, he/she presses the emergency rental button 121h.

Next, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the touch panel 111 has detected that the emergency sales button 121h has been pressed (step S13).

If it is determined that the depression of the emergency rental button 121h has not been detected (step S13; NO), the CPU 10 executes the first transaction process (step S14).
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the flow of the first transaction process. The first transaction process is a process for executing the function of the first transaction means in the disaster response mode, and is executed by cooperation between the CPU 10 and the processing program 141 .

In the first transaction process, first, the CPU 10 executes a closing process in response to detection of pressing of the subtotal button 121d by the touch panel 111 (step S101).
In the closing process, for example, calculation of closing amount (total transaction amount), calculation of discount or discount amount, reception of registration of discount coupon number, reception of registration of closing type (cash/gift certificate/credit) and deposit, Calculate the change, etc., and generate transaction information for the current product transaction.

Next, the CPU 10 determines whether information communication with the management server 2 is disconnected (step S102).
The CPU 10 accesses the management server 2 through the communication unit 19 and determines whether information communication with the management server 2 is disconnected.
Here, during operation in the disaster response mode, information communication may be interrupted due to a disaster.

If it is determined that the information communication with the management server 2 is not disconnected (information communication is possible) (step S102; NO), the CPU 10 associates the customer identification information with the transaction information and sends the information to the management server 2 by the communication unit 19. (step S103), and the process proceeds to step S105.
When receiving the customer identification information and the transaction information from the sales data processing device 1, the management server 2 registers the received transaction information in the transaction information database. Also, points corresponding to the current product transaction are calculated and added to point information stored in association with the received customer identification information in the customer information database.

On the other hand, if it is determined that communication with the management server 2 is broken (information communication is impossible) (step S102; YES), the CPU 10 stores the customer identification information in the disaster transaction information storage area 144 of the storage unit 14. and transaction information are associated and stored (step S104), and the process proceeds to step S105.

In step S105, the CPU 10 issues a receipt on which the transaction information of the current product transaction is printed by the printing unit 16 (step S105), and ends the first transaction processing and product registration processing A.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 of FIG. 6 that the touch panel 111 has detected that the disaster rental button 121h has been pressed (step S13; YES), the CPU 10 executes the second transaction process (step S14).

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the flow of the second transaction processing. The second transaction process is a process for executing the function of the second transaction means in the disaster response mode, and is executed by cooperation between the CPU 10 and the processing program 141 .

In the second transaction process, first, the CPU 10 executes a closing process in response to detection of pressing of the subtotal button 121d by the touch panel 111 (step S201).
In the closing process in step S201, for example, at least the total amount of the loan amount in the current product transaction is calculated to generate transaction information including information specifying the transaction, details of the purchased product, and information on the amount of the loan amount. .

Next, the CPU 10 determines whether communication with the management server 2 is broken (step S202).
The CPU 10 accesses the management server 2 through the communication unit 19 and determines whether information communication with the management server 2 is disconnected.

If it is determined that information communication with the management server 2 is not disconnected (information communication is possible) (step S202; NO), the CPU 10 associates the customer identification information with the transaction information including the loan sales price. It is transmitted to the management server 2 by the communication unit 19 (step S203), and the process proceeds to step S208.
When the management server 2 receives the transaction information including the customer identification information and the rental amount information from the sales data processing device 1, it registers the received transaction information in the transaction information database. In addition, the management server 2 determines whether or not a record of the received customer identification information exists in the disaster rental information storage area. Add to the cumulative total and update the last purchase date. If the record of the received customer identification information does not exist in the disaster rental information storage area, the record of the received customer identification information is added, and the rental amount of the received transaction information is written in the total amount of the rental amount, Write the last purchase date and turn on the uncollected flag.

On the other hand, if it is determined that information communication with the management server 2 is disconnected (information communication is impossible) (step S202; YES), the CPU 10 associates the customer identification information with the transaction information including the loan amount. and register it in the disaster transaction information storage area 144 of the storage unit 14 (step S204).

Next, the CPU 10 refers to the disaster rental information storage area 143 of the storage unit 14 and determines whether or not there is a record of the customer identification information input in step S12 (step S205).
When determining that the record of the input customer identification information does not exist (step S205; NO), the CPU 10 adds the record of the customer identification information to the disaster rental information storage area 143 and turns on the uncollected flag. (step S206), and the process proceeds to step S207.
When determining that there is a record of the input customer identification information (step S205; YES), the CPU 10 proceeds to step S207.

In step S207, the CPU 10 adds the total loan amount of the record of the input customer identification information in the disaster rental information storage area 143 to the total loan amount of the transaction information, and updates the last purchase date (step S207). S207), and proceeds to step S208.

In step S208, the CPU 10 causes the printing unit 16 to issue a customer receipt printed with the transaction information for the current product transaction (step S208). is printed (step S209), and the second transaction processing and product registration processing A are completed.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a customer receipt 161 issued in step S208 for disaster response.
As shown in FIG. 9, the customer receipt 161 for disaster response has the same contents as a normal receipt, such as store information, date and time, transaction code, list of purchased products, subtotal amount, consumption tax, and total amount. In addition, a display 161a indicating that it is a rental transaction and a message 161b that notifies the customer of the rental transaction are printed. As a result, the customer can be made to recognize that the transaction is a rental transaction, and troubles at the time of collecting the rental payment can be avoided.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the store receipt 162 issued in step S209 for disaster response.
As shown in FIG. 10, the store receipt 162 for disaster response has the same contents as a normal receipt, such as store information, date and time, transaction code, list of purchased products, subtotal amount, consumption tax, and total amount. In addition, a display 162a and a signature column 162b indicating that the transaction is a rental transaction are printed. Furthermore, the cumulative amount of the rental price may be printed. The store clerk asks the customer to confirm and sign the store receipt 162 for disaster response. This can be used as proof that the rental transaction has occurred, and it is possible to avoid troubles at the time of collection.

Thus, in the disaster response mode, in addition to the first transaction processing in which the customer can purchase the product in exchange for payment, the second transaction processing in which the customer can purchase the product in the rental transaction is performed. can be executed, commodity transactions at the time of disaster can be carried out easily and appropriately. For example, people who do not have cash on hand because ATMs are not working in the event of a disaster, or who have temporarily lost their income due to a government order to refrain from going out, etc., can conduct commodity transactions and purchase daily necessities. becomes.

In the disaster response mode, the CPU 10 causes the communication unit 19 to control the management server when a predetermined timing (for example, every predetermined time, the timing at which the predetermined time arrives, the timing at which switching to the normal mode is instructed, etc.) arrives. 2 and determines whether or not the communication unit 19 can communicate with the management server 2 . When the communication unit 19 determines that information communication with the management server 2 is possible, the CPU 10 refers to the disaster rental sales information storage area 143 of the storage unit 14 and confirms that a record exists in the disaster rental sales information storage area 143. In other words, it is determined whether or not the information on the rental price is stored. When it is determined that a record exists in the disaster rental information storage area 143, the CPU 10 stores information on the rental proceeds (cumulative total rental proceeds, date of last purchase) in association with the information on the rental proceeds. The customer identification information is transmitted to the management server 2 by the communication section 19 . When the communication unit 19 transmits the customer identification information and the rental price information to the management server 2 , the CPU 10 deletes the record of the customer identification information from the disaster rental information storage area 143 .

When the management server 2 receives the customer identification information and the rental price information, it refers to the disaster rental information storage area of the storage unit. The accumulated selling price is added to the accumulated selling price of the record, and if the received final purchase date is later than the stored final purchase date, the final purchase date is updated. When the record of the received customer identification information does not exist, the record of the received customer identification information is added, and the total rental amount received is stored in the total rental amount of the added record, and the last purchase date is stored. and set the uncollected flag to ON.

When the communication unit 19 determines that information communication with the management server 2 is possible, the CPU 10 refers to the disaster transaction information storage area 144 of the storage unit 14 and confirms that a record exists in the disaster transaction information storage area 144. , that is, whether transaction information is stored. When determining that transaction information is stored in the disaster transaction information storage area 144, the CPU 10 transmits the transaction information and the customer identification information stored in association with the transaction information to the management server 2 through the communication unit 19. do. Then, when the customer identification information and the transaction information are transmitted to the management server 2 by the communication unit 19 , the CPU 10 erases the transmitted transaction information record from the disaster transaction information storage area 144 .

When the management server 2 receives the transaction information, it stores the received transaction information in the transaction information database. For transaction information (other than rental transactions) that have already been paid, points corresponding to the transaction are calculated, and point information is stored in the customer information database in correspondence with the customer identification information corresponding to the transaction information. add to

(switching to normal mode)
When the period during which disaster response is required ends, the store clerk can perform a predetermined operation to switch the operation mode at the time of product registration to the normal mode.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of mode switching processing B for switching from the disaster response mode to the normal mode. The mode switching process B is executed by cooperation between the CPU 10 and the processing program 141 .

In the disaster response mode, when the touch panel 111 detects the input of a specific code using the numeric keypad 121b and the pressing of the cash/deposit button 121e (second operation) (step S21), the CPU 10 displays the flag storage area of the storage unit 14. 142, it is determined whether or not the special handling flag is ON (step S22).
Here, the specific code in step S21 is a code different from the specific code used in step S1 of FIG.

When determining that the special handling flag is ON (step S22; YES), the CPU 10 accesses the management server 2 through the communication unit 19 and determines whether information communication with the management server 2 is possible. (Step S23).
When determining that information communication with the management server 2 is possible (step S23; YES), the CPU 10 sets the special handling flag to OFF (step S24), and ends the mode switching process B. FIG. After switching to the normal mode, the CPU 10 deletes the disaster rental button 121h from the product registration screen 121 (see FIG. 4A).

When it is determined that information communication with the management server 2 is not possible (is disconnected) (step S23; NO), the CPU 10 displays the display section 12 for store clerk "Since the communication has not been restored yet, the normal mode Switching is not possible" is displayed (step S25), and the mode switching process B is terminated.
As a result, it is possible to prevent switching to the normal mode in a state in which information communication with the management server 2 is disabled.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the special handling flag is OFF (step S22; NO), the CPU 10 causes the store clerk display section 12 to display "Normal mode" (step S26), and ends the mode switching process B. do.

(Operation in normal mode)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of product registration processing (referred to as product registration processing B) in the normal mode (the special handling flag is OFF). The product registration process B is executed by cooperation between the CPU 10 and the processing program 141 .

First, the CPU 10 accepts product registration (step S31).
The processing in step S31 is the same as that described in step S11 of FIG. 6, so the description is incorporated.

When the product registration is completed, the CPU 10 receives input of the customer identification information recorded (written) on the point card (step S32).
The processing of step S32 is the same as that described in step S12 of FIG. 6, so the description is incorporated.

Next, the CPU 10 transmits the input customer identification information to the management server 2 through the communication unit 19, and inquires whether or not there is an uncollected loan amount corresponding to the customer identification information (step S33).

The management server 2 checks whether a record of the customer identification information received from the sales data processing device 1 and in which the uncollected flag of the rental payment is set exists in the disaster rental sales information storage area of the storage unit. determine whether or not If the corresponding record exists, read the customer identification information and rental price information (total rental price, date of last purchase) of that record from the disaster rental information storage area and send it to the sales data processing device 1. . If the corresponding record does not exist, the sales data processing device 1 is notified to that effect.

When the information on the rental price is received from the management server 2 (step S34; YES), the CPU 10 displays the received information on the rental price on the clerk display section 12 and the customer display section 15 (step S35).

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the loan amount display screen 122 for the salesclerk displayed on the salesclerk display section 12 in step S35. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the loan amount display screen 151 for customers displayed on the display unit 15 for customers in step S35.
As shown in FIG. 13, on a loan amount display screen 122 for sales clerks, there is a message to the effect that there is a loan transaction, such as "there is an uncollected amount due to a loan transaction." (cumulative rental price) and the last purchase date are displayed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, on the loan amount display screen 151 for customers, there is a loan amount such as "There is an uncollected amount due to the loan transaction. Please settle the total amount of the following loan amount." A message to the effect that there is a sale transaction, a message prompting payment, the rental amount (accumulated rental amount), and the last purchase date are displayed.
By displaying the loan amount display screen 122 on the clerk display part 12, it is possible to inform the clerk that there is an uncollected loan amount for the customer who is currently dealing with the customer and prompt the collection of the uncollected amount. By displaying the rental amount display screen 151 on the customer display unit 15, the customer can be prompted to pay the rental amount.

In addition, the loan amount display screen 122 is provided with a collection button 122a for proceeding to collection processing, and a confirmation button 122b for only confirming this time and proceeding to the next step. The store clerk informs the customer that there is an uncollected amount of the rental fee, and if the customer agrees to pay on the spot, the customer presses the collection button 122a. If the customer answers that they will pay at a later date, they press the confirmation button 122b. When the collection button 122a is pressed, a collection screen 123 is displayed on the salesclerk display section 12. FIG. When the confirmation button 122b is pressed, the display of the store clerk display section 12 returns to the product registration screen 121. FIG.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the recovery screen 123. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the recovery screen 123 is provided with a recovery amount input field 123a, a confirm button 123b, and a return button 123c. When the clerk inputs the amount deposited by the customer in the collected amount input field 123a and presses the confirmation button 123b, the collected amount input in the collected amount input field 123a is registered, and the display unit 12 for the clerk displays the product registration screen 121. back to

When the touch panel 111 detects the pressing of the collection button 122a on the loan amount display screen 122, the input of the collection amount on the collection screen 123, and the pressing of the confirm button 123b (step S36; YES), the CPU 10 causes the communication unit 19 to perform management. The customer identification information and the collected amount information are transmitted to the server 2 (step S37), and the process proceeds to step S38.

When the management server 2 receives the customer identification information and the collection amount information, it searches the record of the customer identification information in the disaster rental information storage area of the storage unit, and subtracts the collection amount from the total rental amount. When the total rental amount reaches 0, the uncollected flag is set to OFF. Also, points for the collected amount are calculated and added to the point information in the record of the customer identification information in the customer information database.

On the other hand, in step S34, if the information on the rental amount has not been received from the management server 2 (step S34; NO), or the touch panel 111 is used to press the collection button 122a on the rental amount display screen 122 and collect on the collection screen 123. If no amount has been entered (step S36; NO), the CPU 10 proceeds to step S38.

After step S38, the CPU 10 performs a function as a first transaction means for registering as transaction information the information of the product traded in the transaction of the product and the information of the price paid by the customer in the transaction in association with each other. However, in the normal mode, information communication with the management server 2 is restored, so the determination in step S102 and the processing in step S104 of FIG. 7 in the disaster response mode are not performed.

In step S38, the CPU 10 executes closing processing in response to detection of pressing of the subtotal button 121d by the touch panel 111 (step S38).
The processing in step S38 is the same as that described in step S101 of FIG. 7, so the description is incorporated.

Next, the CPU 10 associates the customer identification information with the transaction information and transmits them to the management server 2 through the communication section 19 (step S39).
When receiving the customer identification information and the transaction information from the sales data processing device 1, the management server 2 registers the received transaction information in the transaction information database. Also, points corresponding to the current transaction are calculated and added to the point information stored in the customer information database in association with the received customer identification information.

Next, the CPU 10 causes the printing unit 16 to issue a receipt on which the transaction information of the current product transaction is printed (step S40), and terminates the product registration process B. FIG.
When the uncollected money is collected, the collected amount is also printed on the receipt.

In this manner, in the normal mode, if a customer who is currently trading merchandise with the sales data processing device 1 has uncollected money from a loan transaction, the clerk or the customer can be notified of the fact, which is efficient. It is possible to collect the rental payment.

As described above, according to the sales data processing device 1, the CPU 10 functions as the first transaction means for registering the information of the product and the information of the price paid by the customer in the transaction in association with each other when the product is traded. It is capable of executing a function, and when the transaction of the product is performed by lending, the information of the product and the information of the rental price, which is the price to be paid by the customer in the transaction, are registered in association with each other. When a first operation is performed in a normal mode incapable of executing a function as the second transaction means, the mode is switched to a disaster response mode in which the second transaction means can be selectively executed in addition to the first transaction means.
Therefore, it is possible to appropriately control the method of product transactions that can be carried out when a disaster occurs and when a disaster does not occur. It is possible to conduct commodity transactions even when there is no card or card, and it is possible to easily and appropriately conduct commodity transactions even in the event of a disaster.

In addition, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the communication unit 19 is capable of information communication with the management server 2 that manages product transaction information. When it is determined that information communication is impossible, the storage unit associates the customer identification information input by the input reception unit 11 at the time of product transaction with the information on the loan sales amount registered by the second transaction means. be memorized.
Therefore, even if information communication with the management server 2 is not possible due to a disaster, information on the rental price for each customer can be managed.

Further, when the CPU 10 determines that the communication unit 19 is capable of information communication with the management server 2 and determines that the storage unit 14 stores the information on the rental price, the CPU 10 transmits the information on the rental price. and the customer identification information stored in association with the information on the rental price are transmitted to the management server 2 by the communication unit 19, and the customer identification information and the information on the rental price are transmitted to the management server 2. At that time, the customer identification information and the rental price information are erased from the storage unit 14 .
Therefore, when information communication with the management server 2 at the time of disaster is restored from the state in which information communication is impossible, the customer identification information and the information on the rental amount stored in the storage unit 14 are automatically sent to the management server 2 and sent. Information can be erased from the storage unit 14 .

Further, when the input of the customer identification information is received by the input reception unit 11 in a state where the communication unit 19 is determined to be capable of information communication with the management server 2, the CPU 10 transmits the customer identification information to the management server 2. , and when the transmitted customer identification information is associated with the information of the rental amount and managed on the management server 2, the rental amount associated with the customer identification information from the management server The information is received, and the received information on the rental price is displayed on the salesclerk display section 12.例文帳に追加
Therefore, it is possible to inform the store clerk that the customer who is currently trading has an uncollected loan amount, and to encourage the collection of the uncollected amount.

Further, when the CPU 10 receives information on the rental price from the management server 2, the CPU 10 further displays the information on the rental price on the customer display unit. Therefore, the customer can be urged to pay the rental fee.

In addition, when the transaction is executed by the second transaction means, the CPU 10 generates a receipt printed with a description that the current transaction is a loan sale transaction. Therefore, the customer can be made to recognize that the transaction is a rental transaction, and troubles at the time of collecting the rental payment can be avoided.

It should be noted that the description content in the above embodiment is a preferred example of the sales data processing device 1 according to the present invention, and is not limited to this.
For example, in the above embodiment, as a button for selecting to execute the second transaction process, a disaster lending button is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a general lending button is used. You can do it.

Further, in the above embodiment, for example, the customer identification information is the point ID of the point card, but the customer identification information is not limited to this. An ID such as a driver's license or My Number card may be used as the customer identification information. Further, the customer identification information may be obtained by asking the salesclerk for information that can identify the customer, such as the customer's telephone number and name, when performing a lending transaction, and using that information as the customer identification information.
In addition, credit transactions such as credit card settlements, which are based on the premise that cash is not used, are not included in transactions by loan sales (credit sales, credit sales) in the present invention.
