Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an electronic card having a post-receipt issuing function;
Concerning improvements to Schrester.

[Prior Art] In a general electronic cash register installed in each store, for example, the sales amount of a sold product is entered on the keyboard using the numeric keys, and the department code of the department to which this product belongs is entered using the department key. When the key is input, the sales data of the corresponding product consisting of the sales amount and department code is registered for each department code in the department sales registration file formed in the storage section, and the sales amount is added to the totalizer. At the same time, sales data consisting of a department code and sales amount is printed out on the receipt. Then, when the total key is input, the total amount on the totalizer is displayed and printed on the receipt. As a result, a receipt is issued on which the sales data and total price of each product are printed. Such a receipt is called a normal receipt.

However, in cases where the number of items purchased by one customer is small, or in stores that sell relatively small amounts of goods, receipts are not issued to all customers, but only to customers who request receipts. A receipt may be issued.

In such an electronic cash register in which it is possible to select whether or not to issue a receipt, a selection switch is provided on the keyboard to select whether or not to issue a receipt. Furthermore, assuming that the customer requests a receipt after the total key operation is completed and payment is completed, a registration buffer is provided in the storage unit to store sales data for one customer. After the total key operation is completed, when a receipt issue key provided separately on the keyboard is operated, each sales data stored in the registration buffer is sequentially printed out on a receipt. Such a receipt is called a post-receipt.

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional electronic cash register having a post-receipt issuing function, the number of times a post-receipt is issued is not counted. For this reason, the store understands the issuance status of fraudulent receipts based on reports from the cashier, and if there are many requests for receipt issuance from customers, it switches the selection switch for issuing/stopping receipts to the issuing side and issues normal receipts. That's what I was doing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention 1] However, in this case, the number of post-receipt issues reported by the cashier cannot be said to be accurate, and the post-receipt issuing function is not implemented despite the large number of requests from customers to issue receipts. If it continues to be used, the post-receipt is issued after the normal registration is completed, which requires wasted time, resulting in a decrease in processing efficiency.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an electronic cash register in which the accurate number of issued post-receipts can be easily determined, efficient switching between post-receipts and regular receipts is possible, and there is no risk of reducing processing efficiency. It is something.

[Means for solving the problem] As shown in FIG. In an electronic cash register having a post-receipt issuing function, each sales data b stored in a registration buffer C is sequentially printed out on a receipt e in response to a key operation of a receipt issuing key d executed after a child operation. A receipt issuance count memory counts the number of receipts issued by the receipt issuance function, and the count value of this receipt issuance count memory f is calculated each time a receipt is issued in response to the key operation of the receipt issuance key d. The apparatus is equipped with a receipt issuance count updating means Q for updating, and a receipt issuance count report output means for reading out the counted value of the receipt issuance count memory f and printing it out on recording paper during inspection or settlement work.

[Function] With an electronic cash register configured in this way, when the receipt issue key is operated after the total key is operated, the sales data in the registration buffer is printed out on a receipt, and this receipt is issued. The count value in the count memory is updated.

Then, during inspection or settlement operations, the number of receipts issued counted by the receipt number memory is printed out on recording paper and issued as a report of the number of receipts issued.

〔Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of the electronic cash register of this embodiment. As shown in the figure, a keyboard 2 is provided on the front of the casing 1, and a section for selling products is provided on the top of the casing 1. code, sales amount.

A display section 3 for displaying the total amount, etc. is provided, and a receipt issuing port 4 and a drawer 5 for storing money are provided at the middle and lower parts, respectively. Furthermore, a display section 6 for customers having the same configuration as the display section 3 is attached to the top surface of the housing 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard 2 has number keys 7 for inputting numerical data such as the sales amount of sold products into M numbers.
In addition to sales registration keys such as a department key 8 for inputting department codes for classifying products, a subtotal key 9, and a total key 10 as a closing key for calculating the total amount, there are also sales registration keys for issuing/stopping receipts. Receipt selection switch 11, receipt issue key 12 for issuing a receipt after operating the total key
Function keys such as are arranged. Further, a control key 13 is provided which is operated by a key for selecting and setting a business mode of this electronic cash register such as [registration], [accounting], and [setting].

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration of the electronic cash register. CPU (central processing unit) 14
has a built-in arithmetic circuit, etc., and performs various arithmetic processing based on input information from the keyboard 2, as well as an address bus 15. The ROM 18 that stores each business program and the RAM 19 that stores sales data such as the sales amount of each product entered by the key are operated via the data bus 16 and the control line 17. Further, a control key input circuit 20.input a command signal from the control key 13. A keyboard input circuit 210 receives key signals from the keyboard 2; a display control circuit 22 sends display signals to the display section 3.6; Printer control circuits 24 of dot printers 23 for printing on receipts and journals are connected to the CPU 14 via data buses 16 and control lines 17, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 5, the RAM 19 stores a departmental sales registration file R1 that totals the number of sales items and sales amount for each sales item entered by key input from the keyboard 2 by department code, the total number of customers, the total number of sales items, and In addition to a total memory R2 that accumulates the total sales amount and a totalizer R3 that records the total amount of products sold to - customers, it also includes department codes and sales amounts of products sold to - customers. A registration buffer R4 that stores each sales data in the input order, an overflow (OF) memory R5 that accumulates the sales amount of sales data that overflowed the registration buffer R4, and a normal receipt issue memory that counts and stores the number of normal receipts issued. R6, and a post-receipt issue number memory R7 for counting and storing the number of issued receipts.

For example, 19 data areas R8 for storing sales data are formed in the registration buffer R4, and each data area R8 is provided with a storage flag indicating that sales data is stored in that area. . Therefore, it is possible to store up to 19 pieces of sales data in this registration buffer R4.

In addition, the overflow amount memory R5 has an OF (overflow) indicating that the sales amount has been accumulated in this memory.
A flag is set.

Furthermore, a flag area R9 is formed in the RAM 19 to store a post-receipt flag that stores that the total key 10 has been operated while the receipt selection switch 11 is set to the stop (off) side.

Then, with the power of this electronic cash register turned on and the control key 13 set to the normal [registration command mode], the CPU 14 instructs the CPU 14 to execute the sales registration task according to the flowchart shown in FIG. It consists of grams.

That is, when the flowchart of FIG. 6 is started, a key operation on the keyboard 2 is awaited at Pl.

When a key operation is performed at Pl, the content of the key operation is checked. If the key operation in R2 is a registration operation for inputting the sales data of one sales item consisting of the sales amount using the numeric key 7 and the department code using the department key 8, then the flag area 1i! in the RAM 19 is entered in R3. After confirming that R9's Shun receipt flag is cleared to "0",
At R4, memory processing of the key-input sales data is executed. In other words, the number of items sold in the sales data (usually 1 item)
and the sales amount are added to the sales points and sales amount of the corresponding department code in the departmental sales registration file R1. At the same time, the total number of sales points and total sales amount in the total memory R2 are updated.

Note that if the post-receipt flag is set to "1" in R3, it is determined that the registration operation of sales products for the next customer has started after the total key 10 is operated but before the receipt issue key 12 is operated. Then, the registration buffer R4, overflow amount memory R5, each storage flag, the OF flag, and the totalizer R3 are cleared, and the post-receipt flag is reset to "0°". Then, the memory processing of R4 is executed.

When the memory processing in R4 is completed, the sales amount of the key-input sales data is added to the totalizer R3. Sales data consisting of a department code and sales amount is then displayed on the display section 3.6. Thereafter, the setting state of the receipt selection switch 11 is checked in R5, and if it is set to the receipt issuing side (on), sales data consisting of a department code and sales amount is printed out on the receipt and journal.

This completes the registration process for one product, returns to Pl, and waits for the next key operation.

In addition, in R5, if the receipt selection switch 11 is set to the stop (off) side, the input sales data is printed out only on the journal and the process proceeds to R6, and all 19 data areas of the registered pants 7R4 are printed out. Among the storage flags of R8, the existence of a storage flag that remains cleared to "0" is confirmed.

Then, the key-input sales data is stored in the data area R8 corresponding to the first storage flag whose storage flag has been cleared to "O". Then, the storage flag of the corresponding data area R8 is set to 1''. Then, return to Pl.

If there is no storage flag that remains cleared to "0" in R6, the number of sales data for the products sold to this customer exceeds "19", which is the number of data areas in this registration buffer R4, so the key is Of the input sales data, only the sales amount is added to the overflow amount memory R5. And O
After setting the F flag to "'1", return to Pl.

Also, if the key operation on keyboard 2 is not a registered operation on R2, but a total of 10 key operations on R7, -
Since the registration operation for each product sold to one customer has been completed, the total amount accumulated in the totalizer R3 is displayed on the display section 3.6. Also, the total number of customers in the total memory R2 is updated. After that, check the receipt selection switch 11 again in R8, and if it is set to the receipt issuing (on) side, each sales data has already been printed on the receipt and journal, so only the total amount will be printed on the receipt and journal. Print out and issue a receipt. At this time, the normal receipt issue number memory R6 in the RAM 19 is updated by "+1". Also, the drawer 5 is opened for money transfer. Thereafter, totalizer R3 is cleared, all sales registration processing for - customers is completed, and the process returns to Pl to wait for key operation for the next customer.

Further, if the receipt selection switch 11 is set to the stop (off) side at R8, the total amount of totalizer R3 is printed out only on the journal. After setting the receipt flag to 1 in the flag area R9 of the RAM 19, the drawer 5 is opened for money transfer. Then, return to Pl and perform the next key operation.

If the key operation on the keyboard 2 is not a registration operation or a total key operation, but a key operation of the receipt issuing key 12 at R9, it is determined that the customer requested a receipt after the total key operation. After confirming that the violation receipt flag is set to 1, each sales data stored in each data area R8 of the registration buffer R4 is sequentially read out and printed out on a receipt. When the printing of all the sales data stored in the registration buffer R4 is completed in Plo, the setting state of the OF flag is checked in Pll. If set to 1'', overflows have been accumulated in the overflow amount memory R5, so the overflows are read out and printed out on the receipt.

Then, at Pl2, the total amount of totalizer R3 is printed out on a receipt, and the receipt is issued. At this time, RAM19
The simulated receipt issuance count memory R7 in is updated by "+1". Thereafter, the registration buffer R4, overflow amount memory R7, each storage flag and OF flag, and totalizer R3 are cleared. Furthermore, the post-receipt flag in flag area R9 is reset to "0". Since the post-receipt issuing process has been completed, the process returns to Pl and waits for the next customer to operate a key.

If the OF flag remains cleared to "0" in P11, no overflows have been accumulated in the overflow amount memory R5, so the process immediately proceeds to P12 to print out the total amount.

Further, when the control key 13 is set to the "inspection" or "payment" mode, the CPU 14 is programmed to execute the inspection task or the settlement task according to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the flowchart starts, the key operation on the keyboard 2 is performed at Pl. When a key operation is performed at Pl, the content of the key operation is checked. At P2, the key operation is stored in the memory R6 for the number of receipts issued. , R7 indicates inspection or settlement work, first the normal receipt issuance number memory R
Read the contents of 6 and print it on the receipt. Next, the contents of the post-receipt issue number memory R7 are read and printed on the same receipt. Receipts on which the number of issues of the normal receipt and the subsequent receipt are printed are then issued as a receipt issue report. After that, at P3, it is determined by the control key 13 whether the "accounting" task or "inspection" task is selected, and if it is the "accounting" task, both receipt issuance count memories R6, R7
Clear and exit.

If it's an "inspection" job, do nothing. Note that the key operation for instructing the issuance of the above-mentioned receipt issuance report is, for example, by pressing the number key 7 to select "1" after four numbers, and then pressing the total key 10.
It is as simple as operating the .

FIG. 8 shows an example of a receipt issuance count report issued for the above-mentioned "inspection" or "settlement" work.

In this embodiment configured as described above, when the department registration of a sales product is performed by key operation with the receipt selection switch 11 set to the issue (on) side, the sales data is printed on the receipt. In this state, when the total key 10 is input, the total amount of the products registered in the department is displayed on the display and printed on the receipt, and this receipt is issued.At this time, the normal receipt issue number memory R6 in the RAM 19 is Updated.

On the other hand, when the department registration of a sales product is performed by key operation with the receipt selection switch 11 set to the stop (off) side, the sales data is stored in each data area R8 of the registration buffer R4, and the number of data When the amount exceeds the number of data areas of the registration buffer R4, only the sales amount of the sold product is stored in the overflow amount memory R5.

When the total key 10 is input in this state, the total amount of the department registered products stored in the registration buffer R4 and the overflow amount memory R5 is displayed on the display section 3.6. Thereafter, when the receipt issuing key 12 is input, the sales data in the registration buffer R4 are printed out on the receipt in sequence, and the overflow amount of 70--in the overflow amount memory R5 is printed out on the same receipt. Furthermore, if the total amount is printed out on the same receipt, this receipt will be issued. At this time, the subsequent receipt issue number memory R7 in the RAM 19 is updated.

Then, when the issuance of a receipt issuance count report is commanded by a key operation while the "inspection" or "accounting" task is selected, the count value in the normal receipt issuance count memory R6 and the violation receipt issuance count memory R7 is Each is read, printed out on a receipt, and issued as a report on the number of receipts issued.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, by issuing a report on the number of receipts issued with a simple key operation, the number of receipts issued after the operation of the total key 10 is completed and a receipt is requested from the Seraglio can be accurately calculated. can be recognized. As a result, if the number of subsequent receipts issued is large, the receipt selection switch 11 is set to the issue (on) side so that receipts are always issued, thereby preventing a decline in processing efficiency due to frequent receipt issuing operations. is possible.

In the above embodiment, a case was shown in which the number of issued normal receipts and the number of issued subsequent receipts were printed out on the same receipt as a report on the number of issued receipts. The receipt may be printed out independently.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily know the exact number of issued post-receipts, and it is possible to efficiently switch between special receipts and regular receipts, which may reduce processing efficiency. We can provide electronic cash registers without
