Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a bookkeeping device that is used in electronic cash registers or POS terminals and allows a purchaser to create a book.

Conventional Technology Traditionally, when a product is bought or sold, a receipt printed on an electronic cash register or POS terminal is given to the purchaser in order to inform the purchaser of what was purchased or how much it was purchased. .

In this case, even if the purchaser uses cash, a credit card, or a member's card, all that the purchaser receives is the receipt paper.

In this case, the store will use an electronic cash register or PO
By using the S terminal, information such as what has been sold and how much has been accumulated, and it is possible to automatically create a ledger by printing it out later with a printer or the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the purchaser only receives the receipt paper, and in order to create a ledger, he must manually create a ledger based on the receipt paper.

Furthermore, even if the purchaser owns a personal computer and wants to manage household account books, etc., he or she has no choice but to look at receipt paper and enter information from the keyboard, which is still manual bookkeeping.

Means for Solving the Problems A bookkeeping system comprising a register equipped with an optical card writing device for recording information on an optical card, and an optical card reader and printer for reading the recorded contents of the optical card. Configured.

When purchasing a product, the purchase details are recorded on the optical card by the register's optical card writing device, and the purchaser who carries this optical card can record the purchase details using the bookkeeping system equipped with an optical card reader and printer. You can create ledgers with the desired printing format and printing pattern.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, what is shown in FIG. 1 is a register 1. This register 1 has a drawer 2, and various keys are arranged on the front side of a housing 3 placed on the drawer 2. A keyboard 4 is provided. On top of this keyboard 4,
A mode switch 5 is provided for setting various operation modes. Further, 1. A receipt issuing port 6 and a recording paper monitoring window 7 are provided on the left side of the keyboard 4. A slip printing section 8 is provided above this. Furthermore, a display section 9 is provided at the upper front of the housing 3.

From the casing 3 formed in this way, an optical card reader/reader as an optical card writing device is pulled out with a cord 10.
A writer 11 is connected. Note that 12 is an optical card. This optical card 12 is a storage medium in which data can be stored by laminating a silver layer with different properties between a polyester coat and an acrylic coat, and punching holes in the silver layer using a laser beam.

Furthermore, this optical card 12 has an order of magnitude higher storage capacity than a magnetic stripe card or an IC card, and can store 2 million alphabetical characters on a 35 mm x 85 mm stripe.

As shown in FIG. 2, a central processing unit CPU 13 is provided inside the register l, and this CPU 13 includes a ROM 14 as a program memory.
and RAM 15 as various types of memory are connected.

The CPU 13 also includes the display 9, the printer 1
6, a buzzer 17, a TOD 18, the drawer 2, and the optical card reader/writer 11 are connected, respectively.

Next, the ledger creation system 19 is configured as shown in FIG. That is, an optical card reader 20 to which the optical card 12 is attached is provided, and the optical card reader 2
0 is connected to the main body part 21. A keyboard 22, a CRT display 23, and a printer 24 are connected to the main body 21.

As shown in FIG. 4, a central processing unit CPU25 is provided inside the main body section 21.
5 is connected to a ROM 26 as a program memory and a RAM 27 constituting various types of memory. Further, the keyboard 22, the CRT display 23, the printer 24, the buzzer 28, and the optical card reader 20 are connected to the CPU 25, respectively.

In such a configuration, each purchaser of a product has his or her own optical card 12, and when purchasing a product, the customer hands the optical card 12 to the cashier or operator and runs the optical card reader/writer 11. set. When registration for purchasing a product is made in this state, the entire state is recorded on the optical card 12. Finally, the optical card 12 is returned to the purchaser together with the issued receipt.

Note that although the data on the optical card 12 cannot be rewritten, it is possible to erase old data, so substantial corrections are made by erasing and writing new data.

A purchaser who has purchased a product in this manner uses the book creation system 19 to create a book such as a household account book. That is, by setting the optical card 12 in the optical card reader 20 and operating the main body 21, the record of the designated area stored in the optical card 12 is read out and edited into a predetermined print format or print pattern. The image is then printed out from the printer 24.

Therefore, the purchaser can memorize all of his/her purchase information and create a ledger, allowing him/her to know the items, quantity, amount, purchase date, etc. that he or she has purchased on a monthly or yearly basis. .

In addition, since the bookkeeping system 19 is relatively expensive and it will take time for family computers to become widespread, it is recommended that stores install it for service and that buyers create books as needed. You can.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a bookkeeping system comprising a register provided with an optical card writing device for recording information on an optical card, and an optical card reader and printer for reading the recorded contents of the optical card. When a product is purchased, the purchase details are recorded on the optical card by the optical card writing device of the register, and the purchaser who carries this optical card is equipped with an optical card reader and a printer. The ledger creation system has the advantage of being able to create ledgers in the print format and pattern desired by the purchaser.
