Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device used in a store that provides discount services.

[Prior Art] When giving a discount of, for example, 10% to a customer's purchase price at a supermarket, conventionally, the cashier enters a discount rate and inputs a % discount key to apply the discount to the total amount. , only the results of discount processing were printed on the receipt. However, if only the discount result is printed on the receipt, it leaves a weak impression on the customer.
In addition, since the discount service is completed at the time of checkout, customers will not stick to the store due to this service.
This did little to promote sales at the store.

Therefore, the present applicant has already proposed a product sales data processing device that can incorporate a discount coupon into a receipt and issue it, as well as make it possible to pay using the discount coupon (Japanese Patent Application No. 62-2
No. 1069).

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 62-21069, when payment is made using a discount coupon, the cashier must decipher and enter the discount amount on the discount coupon handed over by the customer. In addition to being burdensome, it is also insufficient in that it is easy to misread or enter the discount amount.

Therefore, the present invention strengthens the impression of the benefit by converting the discount amount into a barcode and issuing a printed discount ticket and giving it to the customer, as well as making it possible to pay with the barcoded discount ticket to encourage the customer to return regularly. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that can promote sales at a store, reduce the burden on cashiers, and reduce mistakes.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention registers input sales data of each product in a storage unit, calculates the total amount of each product registered for sale in response to a registration closing operation, and generates a receipt. The issuing product sales data processing device includes a barcode reader, a discount amount calculation means for calculating a discount amount according to the total amount of sales products,
a barcode discount processing means for converting the discount amount calculated by the calculation means into a barcode and issuing a printed discount ticket; a discount ticket key for instructing that payment has been made using the barcode discount ticket; The discount processing means subtracts the discount amount read by the barcode reader from the total amount in response to the input of the ticket key.

[Operation] With a product sales data processing device that takes such measures, a discount amount for the total price is calculated in response to the sales registration closing operation, and this discount amount is converted into a barcode and printed out. A discount ticket will be issued. Furthermore, when the barcode of a discount ticket is read with a barcode reader and the discount ticket key is pressed after registering the product for sale, the discount amount of the barcode is subtracted from the total price.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example in which the present invention is applied to an electronic cash register will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the electronic cash register of the same embodiment. CPU as the main body of the control unit (
The central processing unit 10 is a ROM that contains arithmetic circuits, memory control circuits, etc., performs various arithmetic processing based on human data, and stores fixed data such as programs.

I10 port for inputting signals from the mode switch 16 for selecting various business modes such as "Setting", one keyboard input circuit for inputting and processing key signals from the keyboard 18, one for inputting and processing key signals from the keyboard 18, one for inputting the total amount of sales of sold products, etc. The display control circuit 21 of the display unit 20 that displays electrically, the printer drive circuit 23 of the dot printer 22 that prints on receipts and journals, and the I10 port 26 that outputs drive signals to the drawer opening device 25 that opens the drawer 24, etc. are connected to the CP. Controlled by U 1.0.

As shown in FIG. 2, on the keyboard 18, number keys 31 are used to enter the sales amount of the sales item, deposit amount from each customer for each item sold, etc., and a department code for classifying the sales item is entered. In addition to product registration keys such as the department key 32, subtotal key 33, deposit/cash key 34 for instructing closing of registration by cash payment, multiplication key 35 for multiplication registration, etc., for instructing payment by discount coupon. Various function keys such as a discount ticket key 36, a discount key 371 for instructing a discount, and a premium key 38 for instructing a surcharge are provided.

As shown in FIG. 3, the RAM 1B stores sales data such as the number of sales items and sales amount for each product, for example, by department.
A sales registration file 41 that calculates totals for each transaction, a totalizer 42 that calculates the total amount for -1 customers, a work memory 43 that uses various calculations, and a discount rate for the total amount.
A discount rate memory 44 and the like are formed to store the discount rate.

Accordingly, the CPU 10 selects the keyboard 1 while the mode switch 16 selects the "registration" mode.
When the sales product is registered by key operation 8, the 4th
The program is configured to execute the processing shown in the flowchart in the figure. In other words, as an STI, for example, numeric key 3
When the sales amount is entered in 1 and the department key 32 is operated to register the product, the number of sales items (Sr1) is entered.
In this case, 1) and the sales amount are cumulatively registered for each department in the sales registration file 41 of the RAM 13, and the sales amount is added to the totalizer 42. Further, as Sr1, the department code and sales amount are displayed on the display section 20 and printed out on the receipt and journal by the printer 22. After that, there was no input of the subtotal key 33 as Sr1, and no input of the discount ticket key 36 as Sr1.
When the next product is registered as r1 without inputting the deposit/cash key 34, Sr1. Repeat the process of Sr1.

When the subtotal key 33 is operated in Sr1, the totalizer 4
The amount in 2 is displayed on the display section 20 as the pre-subtotal amount, and is printed out on the receipt and journal. Next, when the discount ticket key 36 is operated in Sr1, the discount amount read by the barcode reader 14 is displayed because the payment was made using the discount ticket with the barcoded discount amount printed out. 20, and also prints out the receipt and journal. Also, Sr1
The remaining amount is calculated by subtracting the discount amount from the total amount in the totalizer 42, and this remaining amount is displayed on the display unit 20. However, if the remaining balance is 0 yen or less, the display on the display unit 20 will be "0." After that, when the deposit/cash key 34 is operated in Sr1 to issue a command to close the sales registration, the customer's A change operation is performed to subtract the remaining amount from the deposit amount, and the deposit amount and change amount are displayed on the display unit 20 and printed on the receipt and journal.Note that there is no key operation of the discount ticket key 36 in Sr1, and When the deposit/cash total key 34 is operated, a change operation is performed to subtract the total amount in the totalizer 42 from the deposited amount from the customer, and the change is displayed.
Perform printing process.

After that, the discount rate memory 44 is added to the total amount as Sr1.
The discount amount is calculated by multiplying by a preset discount rate. If the discount amount calculated as 5TIO is 10 yen or more and satisfies the conditions for issuing a discount ticket, the discount amount is converted into a barcode, and the printer 22 converts the discount amount into a barcode on the receipt. Print out the discount coupon. Thereafter, only a receipt is issued, and the totalizer 42 is cleared to complete the payment process for one customer.

In this embodiment configured as in 2, the store manager determines the discount rate for the total amount in advance, sets the discount rate in the discount rate memory 44 in the "setting" operation, and
Registration begins. Now, for example, department code "1",
Suppose a customer purchases product A with unit price r1000 yen, department code "2", and product with unit price r2000J yen at each store.The cashier first enters the unit price of product A and enters the department code "1". Enter the department key 32. Also, enter the unit price of product B and enter the department key 32 with the department code "2".
manually. Then, the number of sales items and sales amount are registered by department in the sales registration file 41, and the sales amount is added to the totalizer 42. Additionally, the department code and sales amount are printed on the receipt and journal.

Next, the cashier operates the subtotal key 33. Then, the total amount in the totalizer 42 will be displayed on the display unit 20 as r3000 yen.''
is displayed and a total amount of 3,000 yen is printed on the receipt and journal, and the cashier accepts payment from the customer in accordance with the displayed amount in cash or in the form of a discount coupon with the discount amount encoded in a barcode. Here, if the customer pays with a 500 yen discount coupon and 3000 yen in cash, the cashier reads the barcode printed on the discount coupon with the barcode reader 14,
Operate the discount ticket key 36. Then, the discount amount is “50
0 yen" is displayed on the display unit 20 and printed on the receipt and journal. In addition, the discount amount is subtracted from the total amount to calculate the remaining amount of r2,500 yen, and the display section 2
Displayed as 0. Next, the cashier enters the deposit amount and operates the deposit/cash key 34. Then, the remaining amount is subtracted from the deposited amount to calculate the change amount of r500J yen, which is displayed on the display section 20, and the deposited amount and the change amount are printed on the receipt and the journal.

Next, the total amount r3000J yen is multiplied by the discount rate (for example, 10%) in the discounted crate memory 44 to calculate the discount amount, and this discount amount (300 yen in this case) is converted into a barcode and sent to the receipt. A receipt 50 is issued in which a discount coupon 51 with the discount amount barcoded as shown in FIG. 5 is incorporated after the registration details portion 52.

In this way, according to this embodiment, the discount amount is automatically calculated according to the customer's purchase amount, and the discount amount can be converted into a barcode and printed out, and a discount coupon can be issued in combination with the receipt. The discount amount can be confirmed by looking at the discount coupon combined with the receipt, which makes the benefits more impressive.

In addition, since the discount coupon can be used as part or all of the payment at a later date, the customer is encouraged to shop at the store again, which helps to qualify customers and promotes sales of the store.

Additionally, if the customer uses a discount coupon to make a payment, the cashier scans the barcode of the discount coupon into the barcode reader 14.
The cashier's burden can be reduced because the cashier only needs to carry out a simple operation of reading the cashier's ticket with the button and pressing the discount ticket key 36 on the keyboard 18, and there is no chance of misreading or inputting the discount amount.

In the above embodiment, the discount coupon is incorporated into a part of the receipt and issued, but it may be issued separately. It goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to POS (point of sale) systems.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, by printing out a discount ticket with the discount amount converted into a barcode and issuing it to the customer, it is possible to strengthen the impression of the benefit, and also to make the impression of the benefit stronger. By making it possible to pay with discount coupons, customers can be retained, and sales promotion of the store can be achieved.
It is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that can reduce the burden on cashiers and reduce mistakes.
