Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides data transmission between an arbitrary electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR) and a plurality of other ECRs. The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device.

(Conventional technology) Recently, supermarkets and large stores have
Connect multiple child ECRs to the ECR, and
Data processed by the ECR is transmitted to the parent ECR and
ECR has begun to use a system to manage store-wide sales.

Conventionally, this type of device has a parent register that starts data transmission according to input data, and a cache code table memory in which cache codes for several people can be set. A configuration is adopted in which a plurality of child registers each having a sales memory for each cashier that aggregates and stores sales data for each cashier code are connected. If there is a cashier code in the cashier code table memory, registration of that register becomes possible, and the registration data corresponding to the inputted cashier code is stored in the cashier-specific sales memory.

However, in the case of the above configuration, registration cannot be performed unless the cashier code is set in advance in the cashier code table memory of the register, and the registers that can be used by a certain cashier are limited.

Also, if you set the cache code in the cache code table of all registers, any cache can use any register.
When a plurality of registers are used, at least the register in use cannot add up the cumulative total of registered data of cachers using other registers.

In the case of other floating cache stems, a center file is provided on the parent ECR side to aggregate and store sales data for each cache, and the sales data for each cache is aggregated there. The center file is controlled by a file controller.

However, if there are several hundred cashiers in a store, it is necessary to provide a special center file and file controller separate from the parent ECR.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, the configuration that uses a cache code in the cache code table has restrictions on the registers that can be used by the cache, and the configuration that uses a center file has a center file. and has the problem of having to use a file controller.

The present invention was made in view of the above problems, and allows the cashier to use any register, and also allows sales data to be collected in any register, and allows the cashier to be used as a floating cashier without using a center file or file controller. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a product sales data processing device that enables the system.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a parent register that starts data transmission according to input data, a cache code table memory in which cache codes for several people can be set, and the cache Consisting of a plurality of child registers each having a sales memory for each cashier that aggregates and stores sales data for each cashier code set in the code table memory, the cashier code input in each register is stored in the cashier code table memory. In the product sales data processing device, registration data corresponding to the input cashier code is aggregated and stored in the sales memory for each cashier. an input means for inputting a cache code, a sending side register number, and a receiving side register number, and when a cache code, a sending side register number, and a receiving side register number are inputted by this input means, a cache code table memory is stored in the child register specified by the sending side register number. There is a sending side cashier code table requesting means for requesting a cashier code table, and a cashier code inputted into the cashier code table transmitted in response to the request of this sending side cashier code table requesting means. a cache code determining means for determining whether or not a cache code exists; and when the cashier code determining means determines that there is a cashier code, the cache code table memory is stored in the child register specified by the receiving side register number. Whether or not there is an empty area in the receiving side cache code table requesting means that requests a cache code table, and in the cashier code table transmitted in accordance with the request of this receiving side cashier code table requesting means. and an empty area determining means for determining that there is an empty area, and when the empty area determining means determines that there is an empty area, the cashier-specific sales memory of the child register is sent to the child register specified by the sending register number. A data request means for requesting data corresponding to the input cache code from among the input cache codes; and transmitting means for transmitting data to the register, and the child register receives a request for a cache code table from the transmitting cache code table requesting means or the receiving cache code table requesting means of the parent register. When receiving a request for data from the cashier sales memory from the data requesting means of the parent register, the cashier code table sending means sends the cashier code table in the cashier code table memory. a data transmitting means for transmitting data corresponding to a cashier code designated by the parent register; and a set for setting the data and cashier code transmitted from the transmitting means of the parent register into empty areas of a cashier sales memory and a cashier code table memory. means.

(Operation) According to the present invention, a cashier code, a transmitting side register number, and a receiving side register number are inputted by the input means of the parent register. The transmitting side cache code table requesting means and the receiving side cache code table requesting means each make a cash request to the child register specified by the transmitting side register number and the receiving side register number inputted by this input means. Requests the cache code table in cache code table memory.

Each of the child registers receiving the request for the cache code table transmits the cache code table in the cache code table memory using the cache code table transmitting means.

The parent register that receives these cashier code tables uses its cashier code determining means to determine whether or not there is a cashier code input in the cashier code table sent from the child register on the sending side. A determining means determines whether or not there is an empty area in this cashier code table. If there is an empty area, the data requesting means requests data corresponding to the cashier code inputted from the cashier-specific sales memory to the child register designated by the sending register number.

The child register on the sending side, which has been requested to send data corresponding to the cashier code, transmits the data corresponding to the requested cashier code in the cashier sales memory requested by the data transmitting means.

The parent register transmits the transmitted data together with the input cache code to the receiving side child register designated by the receiving side register number.

Then, this child register on the receiving side uses a setting means to set the data and cashier code transmitted from the parent register into empty areas of the cashier sales memory and the cashier code table memory.

It is something.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the entire system of this embodiment. The system consists of parent ECR, ME ₀₀ and its parent
It is composed of a plurality of child ECRs, SE ₀₁ to _{SE oo} , connected to the ECR, ME ₀₀ via a transmission line L. The parent ECR, ME ₀₀ is the child ECR, SE ₀₁ ~
A data transmission service can be activated for SE _oo , while the child ECRs, SE ₀₁ to _{SE oo,} are activated thereby. Here, "01", "02", . . ., "nn" shown in FIG. 1 represent register numbers, respectively.

The circuit configuration of ECR, ME ₀₀ , SE ₀₁ to SE _oo is as follows:
As shown in Figure 2, for CPU 1, keyboard 2, display 3, printer 4, ROM 5 and
This is a configuration in which PAM6 is connected to each other. Said
The RAM 6 is provided with a cashier code table memory 7 in which cashier codes are set and a cashier sales memory 8 that stores cashier sales data.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cashier code table memory 7 has four cashier code storage areas 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ , 7 ₃ , and 7 ₄ , and a cashier code is set in each area. There is. In addition, the cashier sales memory 8
As shown in FIG. 4, each area 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ , 7 ₃ , 7 ₄ of the cache code table memory 7
It has four sales data storage areas 8 ₁ , 8 ₂ , 8 ₃ , and 8 ₄ corresponding to the respective areas 8 ₁ , 8 .
₂ , 8 ₃ , 8 ₄ , each of the areas 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ , 7 ₃ , 7 ₄
Sales data for each cashier processed using the cashier code set in the cashier code is sequentially compiled and stored.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

Usually, in each ECR, ME ₀₀ , SE ₀₁ ~ SE _oo ,
To start registration of sales products, first input the cashier code from the keyboard 2 of the ECR, ME ₀₀ , SE ₀₁ to _{SE oo} to be operated. Then, it is determined whether or not the inputted cashier code is in the cashier code table memory 7, and registration work is possible on the condition that the inputted cashier code is in the cashier code table memory 7. Become. Therefore, when a registration operation is performed by operating the keyboard 2, the data processed by the registration operation is stored in one of the areas 8 ₁ and 8 of the cashier sales memory 8 corresponding to the input cashier code. ₂ , ₈₃ , and ₈₄ sequentially. Therefore, by setting a cache code in each area 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ , 7 ₃ , 7 ₄ of the cache code table memory 7, four cashiers can handle the ECR.

For example, if the cacher (cash code "1100") that was in charge of ECR, SE ₀₁ is
For example, when moving to ECR, SE ₀₂ , the processing of the parent register (parent ECR) is shown in Figure 5.
The processing of the transmitting side ECR will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6, and the processing of the receiving side ECR will be mainly explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5. In this case, the condition is that the area for one person in the cashier code table memory 7 and cashier sales memory 8 of the child ECR SE ₀₂ on the receiving side is vacant.

In the operation, the sending side register number "01", the cashier code "1100" and the receiving side register number "02" are input in order from the keyboard 2 as input means of the parent ECR, ME ₀₀ .

As a result, the transmitting side cache code table requesting means of the parent ECR, _{ME 00 first} requests the cache code table for the sending side child ECR, SE 01, which is specified by the sending side register number "01". A command requesting transmission of the cache code table in table memory 7 is output. Then, the child ECR, SE ₀₁ on the sending side, which received this command, sends the cashier code table in the cashier code table memory 7 using the cashier code table sending means, as shown in FIG. Parent ECR, ME ₀₀ is
The transmitted cashier code table is received, and the cashier code determining means determines whether or not there is a cashier code that matches the inputted cashier code "1100" in the cashier code table.

Here, if the parent ECR, ME ₀₀ does not match the input cashier code "1100" in the received cashier code tail, it will be an error, but if there is a match, it will not be received. Receiving child specified by side register number “02”
The receiving side cache code requesting means outputs a command requesting transmission of the cache code table in the cache code table memory 7 to the ECR, SE ₀₂ . Then, the child ECR, SE ₀₂ on the receiving side, which received this command, transmits the cache code table in the cache code table memory 7 using the cache table transmitting means, as shown in FIG. The parent ECR, ME ₀₀ , receives the transmitted cache code table and uses the empty area determining means to determine whether or not there is an empty area.

Here, the parent ECR, ME ₀₀ , will cause an error if there is no empty area in the received cache code table, but if there is an empty area, it will be specified by the sending side register number "01". The sending child
Cashier code “1100” for ECR, SE ₀₁
The data requesting means outputs a command requesting transmission of the sales data in the cashier sales memory 8 corresponding to the cashier. Then, the child ECR, SE ₀₁ on the sending side, which received this command, uses the data sending means to send the sales data in the cashier sales memory 8 corresponding to the cashier code "1100", as shown in FIG. The parent ECR, ME ₀₀ , receives the sales data that is sent and sends the cashier code “1100” along with the sales data to the receiving side register number “02”.
The transmission means sends it to the child ECR, SE ₀₂ on the receiving side specified by . Then, the child ECR on the receiving side,
The SE ₀₂ receives the transmitted sales data and cashier code "1100" as shown in FIG. 7, and stores the sales data in the empty area of the cashier sales memory 8 as shown in FIG. 1100'' into empty areas of the cashier code table memory 7 using the setting means.

Here, the child ECR on the receiving side, SE ₀₂ , is the parent ECR,
In response to the inquiry data from ME ₀₀ as to whether the data has been set correctly, response data of "affirmation", "denial", or "cancel" is transmitted depending on the data setting status. After transmitting this response data, in the case of “affirmative”, the
If the answer is "negative", the receipt shown in FIG. 10b is issued. Therefore, the operator can check from this receipt whether the data has been set correctly. On the other hand, parents
When the ECR, ME ₀₀ receives the response data from the child ECR, SE ₀₂ on the receiving side, it judges the content, and if the content is "negative", it stops the operation, and if it is "cancel", it Send the sales data and cashier code “1100” again, and if the answer is “affirmative”, send the cashier code “1100” and the cashier of this cashier code to the sending side child register SE ₀₁ specified by the sending side register number “01”. A command is output to request clearing of the areas of the cashier code table memory 7 and cashier sales memory 8 in which the sales data of . Then, the child ECR, SE ₀₁ on the sending side, which received this command, clears the areas requested by the command, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9.

Here, the child ECR, SE ₀₁ , responds to the inquiry data from the parent ECR, ME ₀₀ as to whether the data has been cleared correctly, by answering “affirmative” depending on the data clearing status.
Or, after transmitting the response data of “negative”, if the response is “affirmative”, send the receipt shown in Figure 11a as “negative”.
In this case, the receipt shown in Figure 11b will be issued. Therefore, the operator can check whether the data has been cleared correctly from this receipt.

On the other hand, the parent ECR, ME ₀₀ is the sender's child of the sender.
When response data is received from ECR, SE ₀₁ , the content is judged, and if the content is "affirmative", the receipt shown in Figure 12 a is issued, and if the content is "negative", the receipt shown in Figure 12 b is issued. is issued to terminate the transmission operation. Therefore, the operator can check from this receipt whether or not the transmission operation was carried out normally.

In addition, in the above embodiment, each child ECR, SE ₀₁ ~
The SE _oo is equipped with a cashier code table memory 7 and cashier sales memory 8 that store cashier codes for four people, but the cashier code table and cashier sales memory 8 have storage areas for at least two people. It would be good if there was.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, there is provided a cashier code table memory in which cashier codes for several people can be set in each child register, and a sales memory for each cashier that stores sales data for each cashier in correspondence with the cashier code table memory. Just by setting
Cashiers can use any register, and even if a cashier uses multiple registers, the sales data for each cashier will be stored in one place without being distributed among multiple cashier sales memories. Since the sales are accumulated in the cashier-by-cash sales memory, there is no need to provide a center file, file roller, etc. separately from the parent register as in the conventional case, and the configuration can be simplified.
