DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device such as an electronic cash register or a POS (point of sale) system.

[Prior Art] For example, a plurality of POS terminals and one file controller are connected through an inline line, and sales data of products registered for sale at the &POS terminal is collected by the file controller, aggregated, and output. In some POS systems, the file controller has a file controller that corresponds to the single item code of each product and stores information such as the product name, unit price for regular sale, unit price for special sale, and unit price indicating whether to select regular unit price or special sale price. A single item table in which single item data such as selection information and bargain group information that specifies the bargain sale period is set, and a bargain sale period in which bargain sale period data consisting of a bargain sale start date and a bargain sale end date are set corresponding to the above bargain group information. When a sale inspection operation is performed from one master machine in the POS terminal, all sale period data in the sale period table is compared with the current date, and the sale period including the current date is checked. Set the unit price selection information for each product so that the bargain unit price is selected for products that belong to the bargain sale group in the data, and the regular unit price is selected for the products that belong to the bargain group in the bargain sale period data that does not include the current date. What has been done is known.

In this type of POS system, a system is being considered in which information on a bargain sale group in progress is printed out using a printer of a master machine.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, even if the bargain sale group information that is in progress is printed out, it is difficult to check which products are on sale after checking the printed results, and which products are on sale. It has been difficult to obtain detailed data on special sales for each product, such as whether special sales have been lifted or not.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that is capable of recording at least information on products for which special sales are being executed, and that is capable of managing data related to special sales for each product.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has a single item table in which at least regular unit price, special sale unit price, and unit price selection information is set corresponding to the single item code of each product, and the present invention has a single item table in which at least regular unit price, special sale unit price, and unit price selection information is set, In the product sales data processing device that reads the corresponding single item data from the single item table based on the single item code, obtains sales data at one unit price selected by the unit price selection information, and registers it in the cumulative memory, the single item data is stored in the single item table. A sale period table that stores the sale period data of each set product, a clock circuit that stores the current date, and a clock circuit that stores all the sale period data in the sale period table and the current date of the clock circuit in response to the sale inspection command. The unit price selection information on the single item table for products that correspond to the sale period data that includes the current date is used as the sale unit price selection information, and the unit price selection information on the single item table for the products that correspond to the sale period data that does not include the current date unit price selection information updating means for setting the information as normal unit price selection information; and reading out from the single item table the unit code and sale unit price of the product whose unit price selection information has been changed from at least the normal unit price selection information to the sale unit price selection information by the update unit. and a unit price change data recording means for recording.

[Operation] With a product sales data processing device that takes such measures, by inputting a bargain sale inspection command, all the bargain sale period data in the bargain sale period table are sequentially compared with the current date of the clock circuit, and the current date is checked. The unit price selection information for products that correspond to the sale period data including the current date becomes the sale unit price selection information, and the unit price selection information for the products that correspond to the sale period data that does not include the current date becomes the normal unit price selection information. Then, the unit code and sale unit price of the product whose unit price selection information has been changed from at least the normal unit price selection information to the sale unit price selection information are read from the item table and are printed and recorded on, for example, recording paper. That is, the single item code and special sale unit price of the product for which the special sale is to be executed from today are recorded.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example in which the present invention is applied to a PoS system will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the POS system of this embodiment, in which one POS system 1M is set as a master machine.

A keyboard 17 that is equipped with various inspection and payment execution keys in addition to the registration closing key, a keyboard input circuit 18 that inputs and processes key signals from the keyboard 17, and a keyboard input circuit 18 that inputs and processes key signals from the keyboard 17; A display section 19 for displaying amounts, etc., a display control circuit 20 for driving and controlling this display section 19, a printer 21 for printing on receipts, etc., a printer drive circuit 22 for driving this printer 21, and for storing cash and the like. drawer 23, a drawer opening device 24 for opening the drawer 23, and the printer drive circuit 22.
and I10 that outputs a drive signal to the drawer opening device 25.
There are 25 boats, etc.

In addition, the M/S (master/satellite) status is stored in the RAM 13 of each POS terminal 1, which is set to "a1" for the master machine and "0" for the satellite machine.
Terminal 1 is divided into a master machine and a satellite machine.

The file controller 2, as shown in FIG.
A CPU 31 as a control unit main body, a ROM 32 that stores fixed data such as communication programs, a RAM 33 that has various memories necessary for collecting and aggregating sales data, a clock circuit 34 that measures the current date and time, and the inline A transmission control circuit 35 that controls data transmission between each POS system 1 via the line 3, and a transmission control circuit that controls data transmission between the host computer 5 and the telephone line 4, etc. It is composed of 36.

In the RAM 33 of the file controller 2, as shown in FIG.
2 Name setting area 422 Unit price setting area 43 for normal sales. Unit price setting area 4 during special sale
42 Cumulative area 45 for the number of sales items and sales amount during normal sales, area 46 for the cumulative number of sales items and sales amount during special sales, setting area 47 for special sale group information that specifies the special sale period, “01” when selecting the normal unit price
．． A single item table 40 consisting of a setting area 48 for unit price status (unit price selection information) that becomes "1" when a bargain price is selected, and a storage area 51 for bargain group information. Setting area 52 for the start date and end date of the special sale period. A special sale period table 50 is formed which includes a period status setting area 53 that is "0" when the special sale is being canceled and "1°" when the special sale is in progress.

Note that data setting in the setting areas of each table 40, 50 is performed by the master machine IM or the host computer 5.

The CPU 31 of the file controller 2 is programmed to execute the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, when there is an inquiry about a single item code from any POS terminal as ST (Step) 1, the single item table 40 in the RAM 33 is searched to find out whether the single item data corresponding to the queried single item code is set. If there is no such message, a corresponding POS terminal response is sent and the process ends. On the other hand, if single item data corresponding to the single item code is set, the unit data is read out and the unit price status is checked. If the unit price status is 0°, that is, if the product is on sale, regular sale product data consisting of the read single product code, name, and normal unit price is sent to the corresponding POS terminal, and the process ends.

On the other hand, if the unit price status is "1", that is, if the product is on sale, the sale product data consisting of the unit code, name, and sale unit price of the read single item data is sent to the corresponding POS terminal, and the process ends.

When Sr1 receives single item sales data from any POS terminal, it is checked whether the item is a special sale item or a regular sale item. Then, in the case of a regular sale product, the sales amount and the number of sales points in the data are added to the regular sale cumulative sales area 45 of the single item table 40, and in the case of a special sale product, the sales amount in the data is added to the special sale sales cumulative area 46. and the number of sales points, respectively, and finish.

When Sr1 receives a bargain sale inspection command from the master machine 1, it determines whether there is any bargain sale period data in the bargain sale period table 50 in the RAM 33, and if there is no data, it sends an end notification message to the master machine 1 and ends the process. .

On the other hand, if there is data, one piece of data is extracted from the sale period table 50 as Sr1, and the sale period is compared with the current date determined by the clock circuit 34. Then, if the current date is included in the special sale period, the products belonging to the special sale group of the data will be sold on sale, so set the period status to "1" and search the special sale group information setting area 47 of the single item table 40. and sets the unit price status of the product for which the sale group information of the data is set to "1".On the other hand, if the current date is not included in the sale period, the products belonging to the sale group of the data will be sold on sale. Since it does not, the period status is 0.
'' and searches the bargain group information setting area 47 of the single item table 40 to set the unit price status of the product for which the bargain group information of the data is set to "0."

Next, by the period status setting process described above as Sr1, it is determined whether the period status state of the data has changed from the previous state.

Then, the state changes from 0” to “1#” or from “1” to “0”
If the special sale group information and period status change to , first, the special sale group information and period status are sent to the master machine 1, and then the single item data belonging to the relevant special sale group from the single item table 40 is read out, and the single item code is read.

A new unit price selected based on the name and changed unit price status is transmitted to the master machine 1.

If there is no change in the period status of the data in Sr1, the above-described transmission process is not performed.

After that, Sr1 determines whether all data in the sale period table 50 has been checked against the current date, and if it has not been completed, returns to Sr1, retrieves the next sale period data, and checks it against the current date. Then, the same process is repeated. In this way, once the inspection of all data in the sale period table 50 is completed, a termination notification message is sent to the master machine 1 and the process ends.

When the power is turned on, the CPU II of each POS terminal 1 completes a predetermined initialization process, and then waits for key data from the keyboard 17. When the key data is input, the business mode selected by the mode switch 15 is checked, and key processing corresponding to the business mode is executed. For example, when a single item code is entered manually from the keyboard 17 while the "registration" mode is selected, a message for making arrangements for the single item code is sent to the file controller 2. Then, when there is an error response from the file controller 2, the key input of the single item code is terminated as an error. Further, when regular sale product data or special sale product data is returned, the product name and unit price contained in the data are displayed on the display section 19 and printed on a receipt or the like by the printer 21. Further, the unit price is set as the sales amount, the number of items sold is set to "1", and the number of items sold is added to various totalizers in the RAM 13, and the sales data is sent to the file controller 2 as single item sales data (H and the process ends).

Further, when the inspection start key of the sale period table 50 is pressed while the "inspection" mode is selected, the CPU II executes the process shown in FIG. 7.

That is, after determining the input of the inspection start key of the sale period table 50 as 5TII and confirming that the "inspection" mode is selected by the mode switch 15 as 5T12, the sale inspection command message is sent to the file controller 2.
Send to. After that, waiting for a response from the file controller 2, and receiving bargain group data consisting of bargain group information and period status as 5T13,
First, the printer 21 is driven to print the data on a receipt, then wait for the single item data consisting of the single item code, name, and new unit price, and each time the single item data is received, it is sequentially printed on the same receipt and the number of single item data is counted. do.

When the reception of the single item data for the same sale group is completed, the counted number of single item data is printed on the same receipt and the system waits for the next data input. When the end notification message is received from the file controller 2 at 5T14, this process ends.

In this embodiment configured as described above, the sale period table 50 is checked, for example, prior to the start of business on the 1st. That is, the operator of the master machine 1 selects the "inspection" mode with the mode switch 15 and presses the inspection start key of the special sale period table 50 with the keyboard 17. Then, a bargain sale inspection command is sent to the file controller 2, and all bargain sale period data in the bargain sale period table 50 and the current date clocked by the clock circuit 34 are sequentially compared. Then, the sale group whose current date is included in the sale period becomes a sale, the period status corresponding to the group information is set to "1", and the unit price status of the product with the group information is set to "1". This will be set, and the sale unit price will be selected when registering this product. On the other hand, special sale groups whose current date is not included in the special sale period will be canceled, and the period status corresponding to the group information will be “0”.
°, and the unit price status of the product having the group information is set to "0", and the normal unit price will be selected when registering this product.

In this way, the period status of each special sale group is set, but the status may change from the previous state due to this setting process. In other words, if the current date corresponds to the start date of the sale period, the period status will be “
The value changes from 0° to "1" and a sale of products belonging to the sale group is declared. Additionally, if the current date corresponds to the day after the end of the special sale period, the period status changes from "1" to "02" and the special sale of the products belonging to the special sale group is canceled.In this embodiment, the above-mentioned When the period status changes as shown above, the corresponding bargain group information and period status are sent to the master machine 1,
New unit prices selected based on the unit code, name, and unit price status of the products belonging to the special sale group are sequentially read out from the unit table 40 and also transmitted to the master machine 1. Then, the printer 21 of the master machine 1 sequentially prints and records the above data on the receipt.

The data currently set in the single item table 40 and special sale period table 50 of the file controller 2 are the data shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively, and when the current date is lθ month 21, 1988, the master When the machine 1 commands to start checking the sale period table 50, the printer 21 of the master machine 1 prints out the receipt 6 shown in FIG.
0 is issued. Therefore, the operator of the master machine 1 confirms the issued receipt 60 and identifies each product (item name rBBBJ) belonging to the special sale group "1".

Since the special sale period until the previous day has passed, we can understand that items belonging to special sale group "2" (10 items in total such as rCCCJ) will be sold at the regular unit price recorded in receipt 60 from today. It can be seen that the sale will start from today on the items (total of 5 items) and will be sold at the sale unit price recorded in receipt 60. Similarly, special sale group “3
” (a total of 10 items with product names such as “D D DJ”) will also be on sale from today and will be sold at the sale unit price recorded in the receipt 60.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the sale period table 50
By performing this check, detailed information on products that are on sale starting today or products that are no longer on sale can be printed and recorded on the receipt. As a result, data related to special sales can be easily managed for each product, reducing the burden on store staff and improving work efficiency.

In addition, in the above embodiment, a case was shown in which the data of the product for which the special sale was started and the data for the product for which the special sale was canceled were recorded, but at least the data of the product for which the special sale was started to be performed is recorded. By recording only the sales information, special sales management for each product becomes better than before. Further, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a POS system, but it can also be applied to a single electronic cash register having the single item table 40 and the sale period table 50 in internal or external memory. Of course.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to record at least products for which a special sale has been carried out;
It is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that allows easy sale data management for each product.
