Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an amount of data, a labor cost, a quantity of transmission, and file capacity, etc., by connecting a facsimile equipment directly to a host computer as a POS terminal, and transmitting a content desired to order as code data to the host computer when ordering a product from each branch to a head office. CONSTITUTION:The ordering of the product from the branch 1 is performed by setting the facsimile equipment 2 installed at the branch 1 as the POS terminal and connecting it directly to the host computer 6 at the head office 7. When a branch code, a product code, or the number of order, etc., required for the ordering are inputted from the facsimile equipment 2, the code data are transmitted to the host computer 6 installed at the head office 7 via a line 5. At the host computer 6, the computing processing of received data can be performed with the amount of data less than image data. In such a way, it is possible to reduce the amount of data, the labor cost, the quantity of transmission, and the file capacity, and to improve operationability and reliability simultaneously.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to improvements in POS terminals, and particularly relates to a system using a facsimile machine as a POS terminal.

(Prior art) Conventionally, this type of POS system used a facsimile machine to send a slip to the headquarters as image data when ordering a product, so after receiving the data on paper, an operator's entry was required, and the host computer It was configured to perform 1 bare processing. However, what was being exchanged was image data, and the amount of data was large.

(Petition that the invention will solve the problem) Ordering products in the conventional POS system described above is as follows:
Since the invoice was sent to the headquarters as image data using a facsimile machine, the data had to be processed on paper or entered into the host computer by an operator. In particular, there is a disadvantage that there is a large amount of data I, requiring a large amount of personnel costs, a large amount of data to be sent, and a large file capacity.

The purpose of the present invention is to directly connect a facsimile machine as a POS terminal to a host computer, and when each branch office orders products from the headquarters, store code, product code, order information, etc. that are not ordered are sent to the 7axis machine as code data. To provide a POS terminal system for tiger facsimile code data that is configured to eliminate the above drawbacks and reduce data volume, personnel costs, transmission volume, file size, etc. by transmitting data to a host combiator. be.

(Means for resolving petitions) The POS terminal system for facsimile code data according to the present invention includes facsimile machines at a plurality of branches, lines,
It is equipped with a host computer at the headquarters.

The devices at the plurality of branches are used as POS terminals to send store codes, product codes, order quantities, and necessary contents related to product orders as image data.

The lines are for transmitting mental image data sent out from multiple branches.

The host computer at the headquarters is connected to the line at h,
4 for receiving image data and performing internal processing.

(Example) Next, the invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of a PoSN terminal system for facsimile code data according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a branch office, 2 is a facsimile machine, 3 is an order code input device, 4 is a destination dial-in device,
5 is a line, 6 is a host computer.

7 is the headquarters.

In Figure 1, facsimile machine N installed at branch 1
2 is a POS terminal, which is directly connected to the host computer 6 at the head office, so that orders for products can be made from the branch office 115.

The store code, product code, order quantity, etc. required for the order are input using the facsimile machine 2. The line S sends the code data to a host computer 6 installed at the headquarters. The host computer 6 can perform computer processing on the received data using a smaller amount of h data than the image data.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention enables facsimile devices to be
By using it as a sz end, and transmitting product orders from each branch to the headquarters, such as store food, product code, or order quantity, as code data from a facsimile machine to the host computer at the headquarters, the amount of data per labor cost, This has the effect that the transmission capacity and file size can be reduced, and military usability and reliability can be improved at the same time.

Further, it does not require 1,789 minutes of the operator's time and has the effect of increasing IW: processing by processing a small amount of data.
