Description

The present invention relates to a sales data processing system, a sales data processing device, a setting method and a program.

An electronic cash register (ECR) electronically registers sales. In an electronic cash register (sales data processing device), it is common for a user to sign in. By specifying the user in this way, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use, manage usage history, and the like.

Conventionally, a user of an electronic cash register has signed in to the electronic cash register by directly entering his identification information and password information into the sales data processing device. However, such a method is cumbersome, and there is also a problem that each user cannot sign in unless he/she remembers his/her own identification information and authentication information.

In order to reduce the user's burden of signing in, for example, there is a method of signing in to a point-of-sale (POS) system from a mobile terminal via an authentication device. do. This method enables the user to sign in to the POS system without operating a device provided in the POS terminal. Further, in the above POS terminal, it is disclosed that by setting an operator code corresponding to a signed-in user, functions that can be used by each user are restricted (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2015-179474 A

In the method disclosed in Patent Literature 1, the user does not need to operate the device provided in the POS terminal, and the burden on the user when signing in can be reduced, and functions tailored to each user can be used. You can set the range.
However, in order to apply setting data for each user, such as the usable range of functions, the setting data associated with the user must be stored in advance in the POS terminal. Since the POS terminal normally performs processing such as sales registration, it is difficult to frequently perform the processing of registering (storing) each setting data. For this reason, there is a problem that the setting data associated with the user cannot be changed or updated flexibly.

Based on the above, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily apply setting data corresponding to a user to a sales data processing device.

In the sales data processing system according to the present invention, when the sales data processing device receives terminal identification information for identifying the information terminal transmitted from the predetermined information terminal, the sales data processing device can be used for the cashier in a predetermined manner. In the sales data processing system in which restrictions are lifted, the information terminal includes setting means for setting a message or image to be printed on a receipt by the sales data processing device, and first transmission means for transmitting the terminal identification information. and second transmitting means for transmitting, as setting data, the message or the image set by the setting means when a sign-in completion notification is received from the sales data processing device; display control means for displaying side by side identification information of a certain sales data processing device and information indicating whether the message or the image has been set by the setting means, wherein the sales data processing device is When the terminal identification information transmitted from the information terminal is received by the first transmitting means, the cashier pre-registered in association with the terminal identification information is made to sign in, and the sign-in is completed. third transmitting means for transmitting to the information terminal; and when the setting data transmitted from the information terminal is received by the second transmitting means, the sales data processing device in the signed-in state transmits the receipt. and control means for applying as a message or image to be printed on the
Further , the program according to the present invention identifies a computer of an information terminal capable of communicating with a sales data processing device, setting means for setting a message or image to be printed on a receipt by the sales data processing device, and the information terminal. a first transmitting means for transmitting the terminal identification information for the purpose, and from the sales data processing device that received the terminal identification information transmitted by the first transmitting means, that the sign-in has been completed based on the terminal identification information a second transmission means for transmitting the message or the image set by the setting means as setting data when receiving the above; identification information of the sales data processing device in the signed-in state; It is characterized by functioning as display control means for displaying a message or information indicating whether or not the image has been set side by side .

FIG. 11 is a flow chart when the ECR 1 makes the cashier 5 sign-in. The processing is performed by the ECR control program 141 installed in the ECR1.
First, the ECR 1 receives a signal search request from the smart phone 2 (step S10). The signal search request is a request corresponding to Advertising in the case of Bluetooth (registered trademark). After the signal search request, the ECR 1 receives terminal identification information (terminal ID information) from the smartphone 2 that has transmitted the signal search request (step S11), and transmits its own ECR information to the smartphone 2 (step S12).

Next, the ECR 1 confirms whether the smart phone 2 owned by the cashier 5 has made a sign-in request (step S13). If the smartphone 2 has not issued a sign-in request, the ECR 1 proceeds to confirm a sign-in request from another smartphone 2 (step S13: No). If the confirmation process for the sign-in request has timed out, the process ends assuming that the smartphone 2 is in a non-communicable state (step S13: timeout).

If the smartphone 2 has made a sign-in request (step S13: Yes), the ECR 1 returns a sign-in affirmative response to the smartphone 2 (step S14). The smartphone 2 that has received the response transmits the cashier information 242 including the logo 41 and the message 45, and the ECR 1 receives the cashier information 242 transmitted by the smartphone 2 (step S17).

In this case, the ECR 1 receives the cashier information 242 after sending a response affirming sign-in, but this reception process may be performed anywhere after step S10. The logo 41 and message 45 included in the received cashier information 242 are set as output data for the receipt 4 and printed on the receipt 4 .
After receiving the cashier information 242, the ECR 1 performs sign-in processing for the cashier 5 (step S16).

The details of the sign-in process in step S16 will be described. The ECR 1 has a sign-in table 142 in which terminal ID information and identification information of the cashier 5 are associated with each other. The identification information of the cashier 5 is the name here. The ECR1 refers to the sign-in table 142 with the terminal ID information received from the smart phone 2, confirms whether the cashier 5 is registered as a user of the ECR1, and makes the cashier 5 sign-in if registered.

Here, the process of inquiring the sign-in table 142 whether the cashier 5 is registered as the user of the ECR1 may be performed anywhere from step S11 to step S16. If the cashier 5 is not registered as a user of the ECR 1 in the first place and the terminal ID information does not exist in the sign-in table 142, the process ends (not shown).

After completing the sign-in process, the ECR 1 displays that the sign-in is completed on the display unit 12 (step S17).

FIG. 12 is a flow chart when the cashier 5 signs in to the ECR1. The processing is performed by the cashier information management program 241 installed in the smart phone 2 .
The sales data processing system S of Embodiment 2 includes two ECRs 1 (see FIG. 2).

First, the smartphone 2 transmits a target unspecified signal search request (step S20), and then transmits its own terminal ID information (step S21). The smartphone 2 receives the ECR information transmitted by one or more ECRs 1 that have responded to the signal search request (step S22), and determines whether the sign-in to each ECR 1 of the cashier 5 who is the owner is scheduled. The sign-in schedule 243 is queried (step S23).

As a result of the inquiry, if there is an ECR1 scheduled for sign-in (step S23: Yes), the smartphone 2 transmits a sign-in request to the ECR1 (step S27).
If there is no ECR1 scheduled for sign-in (step S23: No), the smart phone 2 determines the number of ECR1s to which sign-in is possible (step S24).

If the number of ECRs 1 that can be signed in is 0 (step S24: 0), the smartphone 2 ends the process.
If the number of ECR1s to which sign-in is possible is one (step S24: 1 unit), a sign-in request is transmitted to the ECR1 (step S27).
If the number of ECRs 1 that can be signed in is 2 or more (step S23: 2 or more), the smartphone 2 displays the cash register selection screen 32 on the touch panel display 26, and the cashier 5 selects one ECR 1. (Step S25). The smartphone transmits a sign-in request to the ECR1 selected by the cashier 5 (step S26).

Through such processing, it is possible to communicate with a plurality of ECRs 1, and the cashier 5 can sign in to a desired ECR 1 even if the sign-in target cannot be automatically determined.

When there is an affirmative response from the ECR1 to the sign-in request (step S28: Yes), the cashier information 242 (logo 41 and message 45) is transmitted to the ECR1 (step S29). Here, the smart phone 2 transmits the cashier information 242 after receiving a sign-in affirmative response from the ECR 1, but this transmission process may be performed anywhere after step S20.
If the ECR 1 does not return an affirmative response to the sign-in request (step S28: No), the process ends.

FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram in which the smartphone 2a selects the ECR 1a from the two ECRs 1a and 1b, signs in, and signs out in the sales data processing system S of the second embodiment.
First, the smartphone 2a transmits a signal search request to the outside (step S30).

The smartphone 2a transmits the terminal ID information to the ECR 1a existing within the communicable range (step S31). The ECR 1a that has received the terminal ID information transmits the ECR information to the smart phone 2a (step S32). Upon receiving the ECR information, the smartphone 2a inquires the sign-in schedule 243 to see if the owner cashier 5a can sign in to the ECR 1a (step S321). Here, it is assumed that the cashier 5a is not scheduled as a user of the ECR 1a, or the smartphone 2a does not have the sign-in schedule 243.

The smartphone 2a similarly transmits the terminal ID information to the ECR 1b, which is also within the communicable range (step S33). The ECR 1b that has received the terminal ID information transmits the ECR information to the smart phone 2a (step S34). Upon receiving the ECR information, the smart phone 2a inquires the sign-in schedule 243 to see if the owner cashier 5a can sign in to the ECR 1b (step S341). Here, it is assumed that the cashier 5a is not scheduled as a user of the ECR 1b, or the smartphone 2a is not provided with the sign-in schedule 243.

As a result of the schedule inquiry, the cashier 5a is not scheduled as a user of either of the ECRs 1a and 1b, so the smart phone 2a does not issue a sign-in request. Since the sign-in was not automatically performed, the cashier 5a operates the smart phone 2a to display the cash register selection screen 32 and selects the ECR 1a (step S35).
The smartphone 2a transmits a signal search request again (step S36), and signs in to the ECR 1a selected by the cashier 5a (step S37). When the sign-in process is completed, the ECR 1a displays the completion of the sign-in on the display unit 12 (step S38).

The ECR 1a receives the cashier information 242 from the smartphone 2a, and sets the logo 41 and the message 45 included in the cashier information 242 as data for outputting the receipt 4. FIG. The reception and setting processing of this cashier information 242 may be performed anywhere after step S30.

After finishing the work, the cashier 5 operates the smartphone 2 to display the diary creation & attendance screen 35 (see FIG. 9). The cashier 5 inputs the daily report (step S40), and when the input is completed, taps the send execution button 355 to send the daily report (step S41). By tapping the send execution button 355, the smartphone 2a also sends a leaving work request to the ECR 1a (step S42). The ECR 1a that has received the daily report and the work-out processing request performs sign-out processing with the smartphone 2a (step S43).
Through such processing, the cashier 5a can collectively perform the transmission of the daily report and the processing of leaving work. In addition, since the daily report will automatically output the time of arrival and the message that was set for that day, the trouble of inputting the daily report can be reduced.

In addition to the above-mentioned sign-out processing request for leaving work, even if the cashier 5 leaves the side of the ECR 1 while carrying the smartphone 2 and the ECR 1 becomes unable to communicate with the smartphone 2, the ECR 1 does not accept the signature of the cashier 5. out processing. As a result, even if the cashier 5 does not perform the manual sign-out process, the sign-out process is automatically performed, and unauthorized operations on the ECR 1 can be prevented.

FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram showing processing when there are two smartphones 2a and 2b and the sign-in schedule 243 is registered in the smartphones 2a and 2b in the sales data processing system S of the first embodiment.
First, the smartphone 2a transmits a signal search request to the outside (step S50).

The smartphone 2a transmits the terminal ID information to the ECR 1a, which is the only ECR within the communicable range (step S51). The ECR 1a that has received the terminal ID information transmits the ECR information to the smart phone 2a (step S52).
The smart phone 2a that has received the ECR information inquires the sign-in schedule 243 to see if the owner cashier 5a can sign in to the ECR 1a (step S530). If sign-in is possible, the smartphone 2a requests the ECR 1a to sign-in, and the ECR 1a causes the cashier 5a to sign-in (step S53). When the sign-in process is completed, the ECR 1a displays the fact that the sign-in is completed on the display unit 12 (step S54).

Here, it is assumed that the cashier 5b who owns the smart phone 2b comes to work late. The smart phone 2b transmits a signal search request to the outside (step S60). The smartphone 2b transmits the terminal ID information to the ECR 1a, which is the only ECR within the communicable range (step S61). The ECR 1a that has received the terminal ID information transmits the ECR information to the smart phone 2b (step S62).

The smartphone 2b inquires the sign-in schedule 243 whether the cashier 5b who is the owner can sign in to the ECR 1a (step S630). As a result of the inquiry, since it was not time for the cashier 5b to sign in to the ECR 1a at this time, the smartphone 2b does not request the sign-in to the ECR 1a, but the smartphone 2b continues the signal search request thereafter.

The smartphone 2a acquires the end time of the sign-in period of the owner cashier 5a at the time of sign-in, or periodically inquires the sign-in schedule 243, etc., so that the cashier 5a can sign in. detect the end of the time period. When the sign-in time period of the cashier 5a has passed, the smartphone 2a transmits a sign-out request to the ECR 1a, and the ECR 1a that receives the sign-out request signs out the cashier 5a (step S70).

After that, the smartphone 2b transmits a signal search request (step S71), and transmits terminal ID information to the ECR 1a (step S72). The ECR 1a that has received the terminal ID information transmits the ECR information (step S73).
The smartphone 2b that has received the ECR information inquires the sign-in schedule 243 to see if the cashier 5b, who is the owner, can sign in to the ECR 1a (step S740). Since this time corresponds to the sign-in time, the smartphone 2b transmits a sign-in request to the ECR 1a, and the ECR 1a causes the cashier 5b to sign-in (step S74). When the sign-in process is completed, the ECR 1a displays the completion of the sign-in on the display unit 12 (step S75).

The ECR 1a receives the cashier information 242 from the smartphones 2a and 2b, and sets the logo 41 and the message 45 included in the cashier information 242 as data for outputting the receipt 4. FIG. The process of receiving and setting the cashier information 242 of the owner of the smart phone 2a may be performed anywhere from step S50 to step S70. Also, the reception and setting processing of the cashier information 242 of the owner of the smart phone 2b may be performed anywhere after step S60. However, in this case, it is assumed that the ECR 1a manages the information on the receipt 4 of each cashier 5 individually.

By such processing, even when a plurality of sign-in requests conflict, the appropriate cashier 5 can be made to sign-in to the ECR1.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, the sign-in schedule 243 may be provided in the ECR1.

In the above-described embodiment, the cashier information 242 includes the logo 41 and the message 45, which are set as data for outputting the receipt 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by including predetermined display information in the cashier information 242 and transmitting the information to the ECR 1 for setting, it is possible to display information corresponding to each cashier 5 on the customer display section of the ECR 1 . In addition, the cashier information 242 may include setting data related to display settings and operation settings of the ECR 1, for example, without being limited to settings related to providing information to customers. That is, the cashier information 242 can include arbitrary setting data corresponding to each cashier 5 .
