Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately perform each accounting processing and periodical sale management even when accounting time at a host side is different from that at a terminal side by executing the accounting processing at the host side and that at the terminal side separately independently without sharing one sale counter. CONSTITUTION:The sale data processor 1 print-outputs the content of the sale counter 3 for terminal replaying to its own accounting command and issues an accounting report, and after that, erases the content of the sale counter 3 for terminal. After that, the content of the sale counter 4 for host is transmitted to a data collector 2 replaying to an accounting command from the host side, and the content of the sale counter is erased. Therefore, the accounting processing at the host side and that at the terminal side can be executed independently respectively without sharing one sale counter. In such a way, it is possible to accurately perform each accounting processing even when the accounting time at the host side is different from that at the terminal side, and also, to accurately perform the periodical sale management.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a terminal-side sales data processing device connected to a host-side data collection device via a communication network in a POS system or the like.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, electronic registers (terminal-side ECR) installed at each store and electronic registers (ECR on the terminal side) installed at the headquarters were used.
A POS system in which host-side ECRs are networked via a communication line network is known.

In this type of POS system, in addition to a store-specific settlement process that prints out the contents of the sales totalizer at the end of each store's business hours, issues a settlement report, and erases the contents of the sales totalizer, The host side ECR collects the contents of the sales totalizer from each terminal side ECR and issues an mx report, and also performs a settlement process to erase the contents of the sales totalizer of each terminal side ECR.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] In this way, in addition to the store's own payment process, the host side also performs uniform payment processing, so conventionally, the time difference between the store's own payment time and the host side's payment time This causes the following inconveniences.

In other words, if the business hours on the wood side are until 7:00 pm and the business hours on the sending side are until 5:00 pm, the settlement report for stores will show the sales until 17:00, and the settlement report for the headquarters will show the sales until 7:00 pm. Although it is necessary, if any settlement process is performed first, the contents of the sales totalizer will be erased and subsequent settlement processes cannot be performed.

In this case, conventionally, the inspection process was performed by simply printing out the contents of the sales totalizer at the previous checkout time and issuing an inspection report without erasing the contents of the sales totaler.

However, if inspection processing is performed instead of detailed XIL filling,
It is not possible to accurately obtain period sales.

The reason for this is thought to be that both the host-side payment process and the terminal-side payment process are performed using one sales totalizer.

If you do this, if you can execute post (K) settlement processing and MjI processing on the terminal side separately and independently without sharing a sales totalizer, each settlement process can be performed even if the settlement times are different on the host side and the terminal side. It is clear that not only can this be done accurately, but also periodic sales management can be done accurately.

An object of this invention is to enable the host side settlement process and the terminal side settlement process to be executed separately and independently without sharing one sales totaling machine.

Means to solve rIflIg] The means of this civilization are as follows.

The sales data processing device 1 (see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) is an ECR or the like installed in each store.

The data collection device M2 is connected to the sales data processing device 1 via a communication network, and is an ECR or host computer on the host side that collects sales data transmitted from the sales data processing device 1.

The sales data processing device 1 includes a terminal sales totalizer 3.
, a host sales totalizer 4, a first settlement means 5, and a second settlement means 6 are provided.

The terminal sales totalizer 3 is a memory for various sales totals, such as for each department or transaction, which stores its own sales data.

The host sales totalizer 4 stores the same sales data as the terminal sales totalizer 3. For example, each time sales data is input, the input sales data is stored in the terminal sales totalizer 3 and the terminal sales totalizer 3. Each is registered in the host sales totalizer 4.

The first settlement means 5 outputs the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 3 in response to its own settlement command, and then erases the contents of the totalizer.

The second settlement means 6 transmits the contents of the host sales totalizer 4 to the data collection device M2 in response to a settlement command from the host side, and then erases the contents of the totalizer.

[Work] The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

Now, if the business hours on the wood side are until 19:00 and the business hours on the sending side are until 17:00, the settlement report for the store will be the sales until 17:00, and the settlement report for the headquarters will be the sales until 19:00. It becomes necessary.

In such a case, first, payment at the store is executed prior to payment at the head office.

That is, the sales data processing device 1 prints out the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 3 in response to its own settlement command, issues a settlement report, and then erases the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 3.

Thereafter, after transmitting the contents of the host sales totalizer 4 to the data collection device W2 in response to a settlement command from the host side,
Delete the contents of the totalizer.

Therefore, the settlement process on the post side and the settlement process on the terminal side can be executed separately and independently without sharing one sales totalizer.

[Example] Below, Figure 2! An embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram showing the POS system.

This POS system consists of a terminal side ECRII installed at each store and a host side ECRII installed at the headquarters.
The ECR 12 on the host side collects the sales data transmitted from the ECR 11 on the terminal side and issues a settlement report and an inspection report.

Each terminal side ECRII has a similar configuration, and the terminal #EcRII is normally equipped with a C
PUll-1, key human power section 11-2, transmission control section 11-
3. Display section 11-4, printing section 11-5, drawer 11-6
In addition, in this embodiment, there are two types of sales totalizers,
In other words, a terminal sales totalizer 11-7 and a postbox sales totaler 11-8 are provided.

CPUll-1 has a control section cT, a $3I section AL, etc.
It controls various operations of this ECR according to pre-stored microprograms, and executes sales data registration processing, inspection processing, settlement processing, etc.

The key manual section 11-2 is provided with a numeric keypad AK, various function keys BK, and a remote changeover switch MS. Note that the mode changeover switch MS is a control lock that changes over the following modes depending on its switching position: ``setting'', ``registration'', ``power supply OFFJ'', ``inspection'', and ``payment''.

The transmission control unit 11-3 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data with the host side ECR 12, and the printing unit 11
-5 is a printer that prints out receipts and journals (accounting reports and inspection reports).

The terminal sales totalizer 11-7 is a store-specific sales totaler that is normally provided, but the host sales totaler 11
-8 is a sales totalizer specifically provided in this embodiment for settlement of sales. And the terminal sales totalizer 11-7
, the host sales totalizer 11-8 has a fixed total memory, transaction-specific total memory, department-specific total memory, etc., and each time sales data is registered, the terminal sales totalizer 11-8
-7. As a result of updating the sales data in the host sales totalizer 11-8, the sales data in the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 and the sales data in the host sales totalizer 11-8 are always the same. It is data.

The host side ECR 12 is configured in substantially the same manner as the terminal side ECR 11, and includes a CPU 11-1, a key input section 11-2, a transmission control section 11-3, a display section 11-4, and a printing section 11-4, which constitute the terminal side ECRII. section 11-5, drawer 11-6, terminal sales totalizer 11-7 constitute host side ECR12, CPU 12-1, key human power section 12-2, transmission control section 12-3, display section 12-4. Printing section 12-5. Drawer 12-6, sales totalizer 12-7
, so their explanation will be omitted. The host side ECR 12 has one sales totalizer 12-7 as usual, and the terminal side ECRI
The difference is that two sales totalizers are not provided as in I, and the host side ECR 12 is connected to each terminal side ECR12.
Give a settlement command to the CRII and send the EC on each terminal side.
Collects sales data transmitted from RII and issues settlement report.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal side ECRII that starts execution when the power is turned on.

First, the CPUll-1 checks the presence or absence of key power from the key power unit 12-2 (step Sl). If there is no key power, the process proceeds to step 511, and the check (X)/settlement (Z) command is sent from the host side ECR 12. Check whether there is transmission. Here, if the X/Z command is not transmitted from the host side ECR 12, the process returns to step Sl, and the following steps are performed.
The process waits for input while repeating steps 51 and 511 until it is detected that there is a key input or that an X/Z command is transmitted.

Now, in the registration mode in which the mode changeover switch MS is set to "registration" directly, when sales data is input from the key human power section 11-2, this is detected in step S2 and the process proceeds to step S3. The input sales data is added to the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 to update the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 11-7.Similarly, the input sales data is added to the host sales totalizer 11-7. 11-8 to update the contents of the host sales totalizer 118 (step S4), and the input sales data is printed and displayed (step S5). Every time sales data is added to λ, the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 and the host sales totalizer 11-8 are updated, so that the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 and the host sales total are updated. Totalizer 11
-8 is the same data.

When the registration of the - transaction is completed and the closing key is operated, the process proceeds to step S6, where it is checked from the key manual section 11-2 whether or not a key instructing execution of inspection or settlement has been operated. Since the closing key is now operated, the process advances to step S7, and other input processing, that is, closing processing in this case, is executed. In this closing process, the terminal sales totalizer 11-7, the host sales totaler 11-
The contents of the total memory for each transaction in 8 are updated respectively. Note that when other keys are operated, input processing is executed accordingly.

On the other hand, when a key instructing execution of inspection or payment is input from the key human power unit 11-2, this is detected in step S6 and the process proceeds to step s8. That is, in the inspection mode or settlement mode in which the mote changeover switch MS is set to the "inspection" or "settlement" position, when execution of inspection or settlement is instructed by the cash key etc., the terminal sales totalizer 11- 7 is read out and printed out, and an inspection report or settlement report is issued (step S8). Then, it is determined whether it is an inspection or a settlement in step S.
9) If the payment is made, the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 are cleared (step 5IO). Therefore, when the store makes its own payment, the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 are printed out and a payment report is generated. After the issuance, the contents of the terminal sales totalizer 11-7 are erased. In other words, the contents of the host sales totalizer 11-8 are maintained as they are.

On the other hand, when an inspection or settlement command is transmitted from the host side ECR 12, this is detected in step Sll and the process proceeds to step 312, where the host sales totalizer 1
1-8 is read out and given to the transmission control unit 11-3,
It is transmitted to the host side ECR 12. And step 51
Proceeding to step 3, it is checked whether the transmission has ended or not, and the contents of the host sales totalizer 11-8 are continued to be transmitted to the host side until the end of transmission is detected. In this way, the sales totalizer 11 for the host
After transmitting the contents of -8 to the host side ECR 12, the process proceeds to step S14, where it is determined whether it is an inspection or a payment, and if it is a payment, the contents of the host sales totalizer 11-8 are cleared (step 315).

Here, the host side ECR 12 collects the sales data transmitted from each terminal side ECRII and issues an inspection report or a settlement report.

Therefore, in addition to the settlement report for stores, it is possible to reliably obtain settlement reports for Kibe, and the contents of these reports will be accurate sales details that correspond to the business hours of the store side and the business hours of the headquarters side. .

Note that although the above embodiment is applied to a POS system, it can also be applied to other sales data processing systems.

Sales totalizer for null, 11-8...Sales totaler for post, 12...Host side ECR.

[Effects of the Invention] According to this invention, it is possible to perform the settlement process on the host side and the settlement process on the terminal side separately and independently without sharing one sales totalizer, so that the settlement process on the host side and the terminal side can be executed separately. Even if the times are different, each settlement process can be performed accurately, and period sales management can also be performed accurately.
