The control unit 93 transmits the list of products thus extracted to the terminal device 70 via the communication unit 91 .

The control unit 93 transmits the list of products to the terminal device 70, and subsequently, in the terminal device 70, a new product to be reserved is designated from the product list, and when it is transmitted to the server device 90, the terminal device The product (newly reserved product) specified in the input unit 73 of 70 is stored as interrupt reservation information in a predetermined area (predetermined address) such as a RAM for a predetermined time. During this time, the weighing, packaging and pricing apparatus 1 accesses the predetermined area, thereby acquiring the newly reserved merchandise. That is, in the present embodiment, the newly reserved product specified on the terminal device 70 is transmitted to the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 via the server device 90 .

Next, the issuing and pasting process (pricing process) in the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. The operator operates the operation key 9b or the like to call up the printed information of the product to be priced, and displays the printed information of the product label L on the confirmation screen (step S11). In the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, reservation registration can be performed for designating a plurality of products for which the issuing and attaching process is to be executed. The reservation registration is completed by inputting the product call number and the quantity to be issued and pasted (step S11). The operator, for example, operates the button displayed on the display panel 9a or the operation key 9b to start the issuance/sticking process in the weighing/packaging/pricing apparatus 1. FIG.

When the operator starts issuing and pasting processing, the weighing, packaging and pricing apparatus 1 extracts printed information (product name, date of processing, expiry date, unit price, contents, etc.) from the call number of the product to be processed for issuing and pasting. quantity, price, and bar code) are read out from the storage unit 9d, the image of the product label L as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, and the issue/sticking process is started (step S12). The weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 issues product labels L of the accepted quantity (issuing process) in the order of the reserved and registered products, and affixes the issued product labels L (affixing process). When the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 completes the issuing and pasting process for one reserved and registered product, it reads out the corresponding printed information from the call number of the next reserved and registered product, which is shown in FIG. is displayed as an image of the product label L, and the issuing and pasting process for the next product is started. In the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1, such issuing and pasting processing is repeated for reserved commodities.

Here, the operator (or the manager of the production line) wants to preferentially perform the issuing and pasting process for products other than the reserved and registered products while the issuing and pasting processing for the reserved and registered products is being executed. Sometimes. In such a case, the operator uses the terminal device 70 to interrupt the issuing and pasting process for the product. The reservation interruption process for interrupting the product issue/sticking process will be described below.

The operator operates a reservation interruption button or the like displayed on the display unit 72 or the like of the terminal device 70 and utters a product for which the reservation is to be interrupted. The voice input unit 74 of the terminal device 70 detects the voice uttered by the worker (step S1), and the control unit 75 recognizes the voice acquired by the voice input unit 74 (step S2). That is, the control unit 75 converts the voice acquired by the voice input unit 74 into a character string. The control unit 75 controls the communication unit 71 to transmit the character string to the server device 90 (search request: step S3).

When the server device 90 receives the character string from the terminal device 70, the control unit 93 of the server device 90 searches a list of products (product master) stored in the storage unit 92 to find products containing the character string. Extract (step S31). Then, the control unit 93 transmits the list of products (search results) extracted in step S31 to the terminal device 70 via the communication unit 91 (step S32).

When the terminal device 70 receives the list of products extracted from the server device 90, the control unit 75 of the terminal device 70 causes the display unit 72 to display the list of products (search results) (step S4). The operator designates a product for which the reservation is to be interrupted from the list of products displayed on the display unit 72 (step S5). The product may be specified by touching the display unit 72 or by voice input. Designation of the product is executed by the input unit 73 . The control unit 75 transmits the product (interruption reservation information) specified by the worker to the server device 90 via the communication unit 71 (step S6).

When the server device 90 receives the interrupt reservation information from the terminal device 70, the control unit 93 uploads the interrupt reservation information to a predetermined area (predetermined address) of the RAM. The control unit 93 notifies the terminal device 70 that the interrupt reservation information has been uploaded (step S34). When the terminal device 70 is notified that the interrupt reservation information has been uploaded from the server device 90, the control section 75 causes the display section 72 to display that fact (step S7).

Here, after starting pricing processing in step S12, the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 confirms at predetermined intervals whether or not information (interruption reservation information) relating to products for which reservations are to be interrupted has been uploaded. (step S13). That is, the control unit 9c inquires at predetermined intervals whether or not the interrupt reservation information has been uploaded to a predetermined area of the RAM of the control unit 93 of the server device 90 . If the interrupt reservation information has not been uploaded, the control section 93 of the server device 90 either transmits to the terminal device 70 that it has not been uploaded, or does not make any response. In this manner, the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 confirms at regular intervals whether or not there is interrupt reservation information in the server device 90 .

In the confirmation process (step S13) as described above, if the interrupt reservation information has been uploaded, the control unit 93 of the server device 90 sends the uploaded interrupt reservation information to the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1. Send (step S35). The control unit 93 may transmit print information to be printed on the product label L as well as information on the uploaded interrupt reservation information. After transmitting the uploaded interrupt reservation information to the weighing, packaging and pricing apparatus 1, the control section 93 deletes the uploaded interrupt reservation information from the predetermined area of the RAM (step S36).

When the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 acquires the interrupt reservation information from the server device 90 (step S14), it waits until the product issuance/sticking process that is being executed when the interrupt reservation information is acquired ends ( Step S15), interrupt processing for the product received from the server device 90 is executed (step S16). That is, when the control unit 9c receives the interrupt reservation information received by the terminal device 70 via the server device 90, at the timing when the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 switches to the issuance and pasting process for the next reserved and registered product, Interrupt the reservation of the newly reserved product. The control unit 9c acquires from the storage unit 9d the printed information corresponding to the product to be interrupted with the reservation acquired from the server device 90, displays it on the display panel 9a, and then starts issuing and pasting processing for the product to be interrupted. (step S17).

It should be noted that even after the information on the interrupt reservation information is acquired from the server device 90 in step S14, whether or not the interrupt reservation information has been uploaded to a predetermined area of the RAM in the control unit 93 of the server device 90 is checked at predetermined intervals. An inquiry is made (step S13). Here, when the interrupt reservation information has been uploaded, the processing of steps S14 to S17 is repeated.

If the interrupt reservation information has not been uploaded, the issuing and pasting processing for the product interrupted in step S16 is completed when the designated quantity of issuing and pasting processing for the product interrupted in step S16 is completed (step S19). Then, the control unit 9c executes the process of calling the product reserved and registered before the interruption in step S16 (step S20). The control unit 9c acquires the print information corresponding to the reserved and registered product from the storage unit 9d, displays it on the display panel 9a, and then starts issuing and pasting processing for the product (step S20).

Next, the effects of the weighing, packaging, and pricing apparatus 1 and the weighing, packaging, and pricing system 100 of the above embodiment will be described.
