) as shown in reverse video. The 3T 4 ([1 is shown in FIG. 13 and will be described later.

In step s48, the processed flag F is set to rl, + is set to cell l.
-L, return to step s27.

If the determination in step s41 is affirmative, the process moves to step s50, and it is determined whether the processed flag F is "IJ". If the processed flag F is rQJ,
It is determined that the information input by operating the product name key 73 has not been performed yet, the numerical input is invalidated, and the process returns to step s27. If the determination in step s50 is affirmative, the input numerical data is stored in the input buffer formed on the working area 40 in step S1. In step 7S52, the numerical data is written to the address of the image storage section 25 corresponding to the quantity display section 76 of the corresponding product name key 73 on the product list screen of FIG.

In step s53, it is determined whether or not a new numerical value has been input. If a new numerical value has been input, the above operation is repeated to update and input the input cover/lfa in the working area 40. If the T & value is not input, it is assumed that the quantity input has been completed in step s54, and the data in the input buffer is transferred to the corresponding number 1 section 58 of the product code table area 39, and the processed flag F is set to "0" in step s55. ", and in step S-G, the inverted display of the first display fi shown in FIG. 14 (1) is canceled,
Only the serial number part 75 in the product name key 73 is displayed in reverse video. The state is shown in FIG. 14(2), and the details are shown in FIG. 13 and will be described later.

By carefully repeating such processing, desired product names and their quantities can be sequentially designated on the product list screen shown in FIG. 18. - On the other hand, if f'l disconnection in step s42 is affirmative, that is, if the order completion key 82 is operated on the product list screen, the process moves to step s57, and the product code table area 390 shown in 5 screen number B1 is displayed. The inversion bit in the recommended character processing code is reset, and the process moves to FIG.

(E) Input Confirmation 12 Process FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the input confirmation process on the order confirmation screen shown in FIG. In step s60, the screen clicks)-1i111PCN
T and item number counter DCNT are each reset to "0". In step s61, the corresponding unit areas 52 of the three product code table areas shown in FIG. 7 are selected based on the screen number B1 and the screen count value PCNT. In step s62, in the selected unit area 52, based on the item number run l-[D CN
Read 1.

In step s63, it is determined whether the five flag sections of the read information item area 91 are "1". If this judgment is affirmative, it means that the item has already been inputted, and therefore, in step s64, the product code, product name, and quantity data are stored in the communication buffer formed in the working area 40, and in step s65 Move to. Step 563) If TJIlrli is negative, fNf, it means that no information input operation has been performed regarding the information Wll71'10 head area 91, and the process moves to step s65 without passing through step s64.

In step s65, the item number count value DCNT is incremented by +1, and the process moves to step s66. step s
66, it is determined whether or not the item number count (flD CNT exceeds the maximum value n). If the determination result is negative, the product name of the same unit area 52 is entered in the product code table 39 shown in FIG. This is a case in which not all are scanned, and the process returns to step s62, and the above-described process is returned with #X.

If the judgment in step s66 is affirmative, in step s67 the one screen number count value PCNT is changed to the parameter 5PCN.
It is determined whether it matches T or not. If they do not match, in the product code table area 39 shown in FIG.
Since scanning regarding the screen number is in progress, the screen number count value PCNT is incremented by +1 in step s68, and the process returns to step s61 to repeat the above-described process.

If the judgment in step s67 is a match, it means that scanning has progressed to the part corresponding to the final screen of the product code table area 39, and in step S69 the screen number corresponding to the order confirmation list screen shown in FIG. C1 is generated and stored in working area 40. step s70
Then, based on this screen number C1, one unit area 47 in the image file area 37 shown in FIG. 6 is selected, and in step s71, fixed image data in the selected unit area 47 is transferred to the image storage section 25. . This fixed image data is composed of data other than the product columns 71 on the product list screen shown in FIG. 18, and is combined with the communication buffer data that stores the information list.

In step s72, the keyboard number B2 in the selected unit area 47 is read out from the image file area 37 and stored in the working area 4o. In step s73, the data in the communication buffer area configured in the working area 40 is developed and stored in the image storage section 25 as a bit image. As a result, the occurrence confirmation list screen shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 24,
Further, a key format based on the keyboard number C2 is set on the key matrix panel 28.

(F) Product name list display process Figure 13 is a flowchart 1 showing the process of displaying product names.
. The inverted display of the display screen described in the explanation with reference to FIG. 8 is performed according to the flowchart of FIG. 13. When moving from the menu screen shown in FIG. 17 to the product list 1 screen shown in FIG. (previous page, next page, etc.), the product name is displayed on multiple screens.

On the other hand, the operator inputs the product name for ordering by touching the product name key 73 shown in FIG. The selected product name will be announced.

Further, by touching and operating the T & value key, the quantity is input and displayed on the quantity display section 76, and when this input is completed, the highlighted display of the entire product name key 73 is canceled,
Only the serial number portion 75 is displayed in reverse video. In addition, even if the screen is switched by operating the previous page key 85 or next page key 86 and returned to the original screen, the serial number section 75 of the input product will be displayed in reverse video, indicating that the input product has already been input. v products
I'm trying to make myself recognizable.

In other words, an effective display can be obtained for displaying a variety of data on a small screen size.

In displaying the product list screen shown in Figure 18.

First, in the image file area 37 shown in the sixth figure, display attribute data is read out from the display attribute area 50 in each unit area 47tIS, and indicates the display start position of each product name, that is, the start address DA of the image storage unit 25 and the display range. Size data is output. The soft code value read out for each information item area 91 from the product code table 39 is multiplied by a predetermined coefficient and added to the start address DA, and the start address DA is formed in the working area 40 in step s80. It is held in the DA register. This is because the soft code has a relative rgJ relationship with the key-matting partitioned display mode. In step s81, screen count value PCNT+soft code value is calculated, this is generated as serial number data, and a code indicating the number character to display the number is output.

In step s81, it is determined whether or not the five flag sections of each information item area 91 are "1", and if affirmative, it means that the product name has already been inputted, and step s83
In step s85, the inversion flag included in the attribute data of the serial number code is set, and the process moves to step s85. If the judgment in step s82 is negative,
In step s84, the inversion bit included in the attribute data is reset to the numerical code, and the process moves to step s85.

In step s85, the numerical code of the serial number data is written to the display start address DA of the image storage section 25. At this time, if the inversion bit of the attribute data of the numerical code is set, the serial number dot data is inverted. is stored in the image storage section 25, and is displayed as an inverted pattern as a result. This inversion circuit is shown in FIG.

The inversion circuit 92 in the 15th ward includes an address counter 93, a character code register 94, and an attribute data register 95. The outputs of the address counter 93 and the character code register 94 are used as address data for the character generator 23. Output. The attribute data register 95 outputs the inverted bit data.

The output of the character generator 23 is input to a bit converter 96. The bit converter 96 is composed of, for example, a plurality of exclusive OR circuits 97.

That is, if the inversion bit is "1", the dot data output from the character generator 23 is inverted and output. Further, if the inversion bit is "0", the bit data output from the character generator 23 is output as is. The output of the bit conversion section 96 is written into the image storage section 25.

In step s86, the number of characters of the serial number data is added to the start address DA, and the result is held as the start address DA.

Subsequently, in step s87, a character code string of "Quantity:" is generated, and in step s88, the reversal flag RF is set to "1".
Determine whether or not. If affirmative, step s89
Set the inversion bit in the character code attribute data at . If the determination in step s88 is negative, the process moves to step s90 without passing through step S89. In step s90, character data "Quantity:" is expanded from the start address DA of the image storage section 25.

Next, in step s91, data α2 for the number of characters in the character code string is added to the start address DA and stored as the start address. Subsequently, in step S92, quantity data is read from the quantity fA area 58 of the information item header 91 indicated by the item count value DCNT and the soft code, and is read out from the image storage unit 2 based on the start address DA in the same manner as in the above process.
Store in 5.

Further, in step s93, an operation is performed to add data α3 for the number of characters of the quantity data to the start address DA, and the result is f! : rj\J Stored as start address DΔ, fi set in step s94 in the same manner as step s92
? Product name data is read from the product name section 57 of the information item a area 91 and expanded to the image storage section 25 from the start address DA. Furthermore, in step s95, an operation is performed to add data for the maximum number of characters of the product name to the start address DA, and the result is held as the start address DA.

The process of developing each of the 11 display data in the image storage unit 25 during the process described above with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12,
This will be executed each time the display is inverted and the inversion is canceled.

In addition, in the case of an instruction to perform reverse display, the process advances to step s96, and the reverse flag RF is set to "1".
, product name data, character code strings of T&i data, and inversion bits in attribute data are set. After this, the process moves to step s80.

On the other hand, if an instruction to cancel the reverse display is given, the process moves to step s98, where the reverse flag r (F is set to 0), and then in step S99 the characters of the product name data and quantity data are set. The code string and the inverted pix in the attribute data are reset, and the process moves to step s80.
