PO3) It relates to a price display system that controls the displayed price of a product in conjunction with the system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, there is a price display unit used in this type of price display system as shown in Figure 4, and a price display system using this unit uses the latest price data transmitted from a data transmission device. Only the price is displayed on the price display 41 of this price display section, and if it is a special price, it is displayed on the "special price" display 42.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional price display system described above, only one type of price can be displayed on the price display, so when there is a sale, only the price at the time of the sale is displayed, and the customer does not know the discount rate of the product. Even if they do so, they have the disadvantage of not being able to stimulate customers' desire to purchase.

[Means to solve the problem]

The price display system of the present invention includes a data transmitting device that transmits a data signal including at least individual address data of a product, list price/special price identification data of the product, and price data of the product; determining means for determining whether the individual address data of the product included in the data signal matches the address data stored in advance;
identification means for identifying whether the price data of the product is a special sale price from list price/special price identification data of the product included in the data signal; and a first price that displays a price based on the price data of the product. display means; storage means for storing price data of the product when the identification means identifies that the price data of the product is not a sale price; and storage means for storing the price data of the product when the price data of the product is a sale price; and second price display means for displaying the price based on the price data of the product stored in the storage means.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a price display section 2 in the embodiment shown in FIG.

A data signal having a format as shown in FIG. 3 is input from the data transmitting device 1 to the price display section.

Then, the address determining section 21 determines that the individual address data 31 of the product included in the data signal matches the address data preset in the price display section 2. If they match, then the list price/special price identification unit 22 identifies the list price/special price identification data 3 of the product included in the data signal.
2, it is determined whether the price data 33 is a regular price or a price at a special sale. In the case of a list price, the price is displayed on the price display 24 in the price display section 2, and
The price data 23 is stored in the list price memory section 23. In this case, the "special price" display 251 price display 26. "
