Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce operator's load, to increase operator's processing speed and to improve service to customers by checking the registered number of commodities of the same sort at the time of inputting data to a POS terminal equipment and automatically deciding the excess of restriction. CONSTITUTION:A counting means 31 counts up the registered number of commodities in each kind or in each sort and a restricting information storing means 41 previously stores data for the number of commodities restricted at their sales in each kind or sort. A deciding means 32 compares the counted result of the means 31 with the restricted number of commodities obtained from the means 41, and based on the compared result, when the registered number of commodities exceeds the restricted number, an alarm means 2 generates an alarm. Consequently, an operator can recognize the registered number exceeds the restriction and commodities can be treated without checking the registered number in each time, so that operator's load can be reduced, operator's processing speed can be increased and service to customers can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a POS terminal device, and particularly to a Po8 terminal device having a function of checking the number of sold products.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional POS terminal devices include Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-184965.
As mentioned in the above issue, when selling a product, there was a function to register a discount when selling the product at a discount to customers who purchased a predetermined number or more of the same type of product.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in some stores, etc., the same type of product may be sold by limiting the number of units sold per customer, and when registering a product with a limited number of units sold in Po8, the operator must It was necessary to select products of the same type from among the products brought by the customer from the sales floor, and to determine whether the number of products exceeded the limit. Therefore, there are problems in that the burden on the operator is heavy, and the operator's processing speed becomes slow, resulting in a long waiting time for the customer.

In the above-mentioned case, the present invention checks the number of registered products of the same type when inputting data to the Po8 terminal device, automatically determines whether the limit has been exceeded, reduces the burden on the operator, and reduces the operator's processing costs. The purpose is to increase speed and improve service to customers.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the present invention, the number of products registered during a transaction is counted by the counting means for each product type or classification, and the determining means compares the limit number stored in advance in the limit information storage means with the counting result by the counting means. The above objective is achieved by comparing the values and issuing a warning from the iF notification means based on the counting results to notify the operator that the limit has been exceeded.

[Effect]

The counting means counts the number of registered items for each product type or classification, the restriction information storage means stores in advance data on sales limit numbers for each product type or classification, and the determining means calculates the number of registered items for each product type or classification. A comparison is made with the limit number of the limit information storage means, and based on the result of the comparison, when the number of registered objects exceeds the limit number, a warning is issued from the warning means. This allows the operator to recognize that the number of registered items has exceeded the limit, and allows the operator to operate without worrying about the number of registered items.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a POS terminal device according to the present invention, and shows an input section 1 for inputting product data. Warning section that issues a warning to the operator 2. ! A control section 3, which has a counting section 31 that counts the number of pieces recorded per record, and a determining section 32 that compares the counting result with the limit number and determines whether the limit number is exceeded. A restriction information storage section 41 that stores the limit number etc. for each product, a counting area 42 that temporarily stores the results of counting in the counting section 31, and an input data area 43 that temporarily stores input product data. The storage unit 4 includes a registration data area 44 for registering product information, and a work area 45 for importing data from the restriction information storage unit 41 corresponding to input product data.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the restriction information storage unit 41, and in this embodiment, it is a PLU file. 41
1 is a code determined for each product, and corresponding to this code, text 412, unit price 413, IIJ
For example, food 00 where the limited number 414 etc. is stored.
For product 01, the text is A and the unit price is 1
00. The limit number is 2. If the number of products sold is not limited, O is entered in the limit number 414.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the registration data area 44, which is composed of a registration code 441, the number of registrations 4.42, and the like.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the work area 45, which has a data width corresponding to the number of codes in the restriction information storage section 41, and has a data width corresponding to the number of codes in the restriction information storage section 41. Text 452. It is composed of a unit price 453, a limit number 454, and the like.

FIG. 5 shows the relationship between product codes sequentially input from the input unit 1 and whether or not a warning occurs when the restriction information shown in FIG. 2 is provided.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing performed by the POS terminal device according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, P according to the present invention will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG.
The operation of the OS terminal device will be explained.

When a product code is input from the input unit 1, the code is stored in the input data area 43 (SL).

PLU by the code recorded in the input data area 43
Search the restriction information storage unit 41, which is a file, and copy the restriction information of the corresponding product to the work area 45 (S2
), &i to search the registered data area 44 and check whether the code has already been registered. If it has been registered, proceed to S4; if it has not been registered, proceed to S5 (S3). If the code is a code, the registered number 44 of the code is determined from the registered data area 44.
2 is read into the counting area 42, the value is updated, and S7
Proceed to (84).

If the code is not registered yet, create a record of the code in the registration data area 44 in step S5.
), set 1 in the counting area 42 and proceed to S7 (S6)
.

In S7, the limit number 454 is read from the work area 45, and in the fourth flash, it is determined whether there is a limit on the number of products sold.
