Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically issue a formal slip without inputting the data again from the beginning by reissuing the slip by bringing newly data a one-slip portion after correction to printing output at the time when an input of the data of a one-slip portion is ended, when the inputted data is corrected on the way of an input of slip data. CONSTITUTION:When slip data is inputted successively at every one item, the inputted data is brought to printing output at every one item by a printing means 1. When an end key, etc., are operated at the time when an input of data of a one-slip portion is ended, a discriminating means 4 discriminates whether data in a slip data storage means 2 is corrected or not. As a result, in the case the correction is executed on the way of an input of a slip, a printing control means 5 reads out successively data of a one-slip portion from in the slip data storage means 2, and instructs to reprint its data to the printing means 1, and slip data after correction is brought to printing output successively in accordance with a slip format determined in advance. In such a way, even if the inputted data is corrected on the way of an input of the slip data, a formal slip can be issued without inputting again the data from the beginning.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] This invention prints the input data each time the data corresponding to each item of one slip is input in sequence and issues a slip. This invention relates to a slip issuing device.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention is a slip issuing device that prints input slip data each time and issues a slip, and when inputted data is corrected during input of slip data, one slip is printed. When data entry is completed, the corrected data for one slip is newly printed out and the slip is reissued.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, a simple input terminal device is known that sequentially prints input data each time the data is input.

By the way, one possible way to use this type of input terminal is to issue a slip using this input terminal. In this case, since the slip data input for each item is printed one after another, the slip data can be input while checking the printed contents.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, if input data is corrected during the input of a slip, the data before correction and the data after correction are printed for each item, so the printed contents of the slip becomes difficult to read and the print format of the slip becomes corrupted.

Therefore, in such cases, you can interrupt data entry midway and
If you re-enter the slip data one item at a time from the beginning and print it out, you can issue an official slip, but re-entering the data from the beginning is time-consuming and may lead to new input errors. , cannot be called a rational method.

An object of the present invention is to automatically issue an official slip without having to re-enter the data from the beginning even if the data that has already been input is corrected during the input of the slip data.

[Means to solve the problem] The means of this invention are as follows.

The printing means 1 (see the functional block diagram in Fig. 1; the same applies hereinafter) converts the input data into a preset slip format each time data corresponding to each item for a slip is input in sequence. Therefore, it is a printing device equipped with a thermal printer or the like for printing out.

The slip data storage means 2 is a slip memory that sequentially stores input data, and is constituted by, for example, a random access memory.

The correction means 3 corrects the data in the slip data storage means 2 in response to a correction instruction to correct input data, and for example, corrects the data in the slip data storage means 2 corresponding to the eye whip for which correction has been instructed. Replace with data. In addition,
Correction means addition, deletion, etc.

The determining means 4 determines whether or not the data in the slip data storage means 2 has been corrected at the end of inputting data for one slip.

As a result of the determination by the determination means 4, the print control means 5 reads 1 from the slip data storage means 2 when data correction has been performed.
The data for the slip is sequentially read out and the printing means 1 is instructed to reprint the data.

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

Now, when the slip data is input one item at a time, the input data is printed out for each item by the printing means 1, but in this case, the printing means 1 inputs the data according to the preset slip format. Print out data while assigning it to the corresponding print item area. In addition to printing out the input data for each item,
It is written into the slip data storage means 2.

When correction data is input to correct the data that has already been input during the inputting of such a slip, the input correction data is printed out by the printing means l. Further, the correction means 3 corrects the data in the slip data storage means 2 in response to a correction instruction.

Therefore, even if inputted data is corrected during input of a slip as described above, the data input is not interrupted and continues to be inputted until all the data for one slip has been inputted.

Now, when the end key or the like is operated at the end of inputting data for a slip, the determining means 4 determines whether the data in the slip data storage means 2 has been corrected or not, and as a result, the correction is made during the entry of the slip. If this is done, the print control means 5 sequentially reads data for one slip from the slip data storage means 2 and instructs the printing means 1 to reprint the data. As a result, the corrected slip data is sequentially printed out according to a predetermined slip format.

Therefore, even if the entered data is corrected during the input of the slip data, the official slip can be automatically issued without having to re-enter the data from the beginning.

[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of the input terminal for issuing slips. Note that this input terminal is a portable type terminal powered by a battery, and is used when a salesperson or the like issues a slip to a customer or the like on the go.

The CPU II controls slip issuing processing, transmission processing for transmitting slip data to a host computer (not shown), etc. according to various processing programs stored in advance.

Here, when issuing a slip, the CPU II uses the item memory 12.
, message data indicating the data to be input from the input section 13 is displayed and output from the display section 14, and the slip data input from the input section 13 is taken in and set in the input buffer 15 accordingly.

The item memory 12 stores data that defines input procedures and processing contents for each slip in accordance with input formats of various slips, and the contents are arbitrarily set by the user. That is, the item memory 12 stores information such as "year/month/day", "slip shame", "person in charge code", "product code", "quantity j, etc." to be input in sequence for each item of one slip. instructions or input data (
For example, you can define that an index table (not shown) should be searched based on the person in charge code (for example, person in charge code) and create predetermined data (for example, person in charge name), or you can specify the amount of money by instructing to execute the calculation of ``unit price x quantity''. Define what data should be created. In this case, the CPU II sequentially reads the processing contents corresponding to each item for one slip from the item memory 12, and if the read processing contents define that data should be input from the input section 13, the CPU II Message data instructing that the data should be input is displayed and output, and the system waits for key input, and if other processing contents are to be defined, the processing is executed to create the data.

Input@[113 is an interface for transmitting various character keys on the keyboard, a slip issuing key for printing out slip data from the printing unit 16 to instruct issuing of slips, and slip data in the slip memory 17. This is a manual key device equipped with various function keys such as a transmission key for transmitting data to the unit 18 and transmitting it to the host computer.

The display unit 14 is a liquid crystal display device that displays several lines of data.

The input buffer 15 temporarily stores data input from the input unit 13 and data created according to the processing content defined in the item memory 12, and the CPU II reads the data in the input buffer 15 and stores one item. At the same time, each document is written in the slip memory 17 and printed out from the printing section 16 according to the slip format preset in the format memory 19.

The printing unit 16 is constituted by a thermal printer, and prints out slip data, ruled lines, etc. on roll paper to issue a slip in a predetermined format.

The slip memory 17 is capable of storing a plurality of slips, for example, one day's worth of slip data input by a sales person, and the contents are collected to the host computer via the transmission interface section 18.

Note that the work memory 20 is a memory that stores correction key flags, correction flags, and the like. Here, the correction key flag is a flag that is turned on when a correction key provided in the input unit 13 is operated in order to correct data that has already been input during the input of slip data. This is a flag indicating that the input data written in the file has been corrected.

Next, the operation when issuing a slip using the input terminal of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

Here, FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the slip issuing process. Also, Figures 4 to 6 show printing examples of issued slips, Figure 4 is an example of slip printing when correction processing is not performed when data for one slip is input, and Figure 5 is an example of printing of 1 slip. FIG. 6 shows an example of a slip printed when a last-minute correction is made during data entry on a machine. FIG. 6 shows an example of a slip printed when data that goes back several items is corrected at the end of data entry on a slip machine.

Hereinafter, the slip issuing process shown in FIG. 3 will be sequentially explained for each printing example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

When correction processing is not performed (Figure 4) When the slip issuing key is operated, the CPU II starts the slip issuing processing program, searches the item memory 12 for the slip for which issuing is instructed, and selects the first item of the corresponding slip. (step S2), and examines the processing content defined in the item memory 12 corresponding to the specified item (step S2). Then, message data prompting the input of the data is displayed on the display section 14 (step S3), and the system waits for key input (step S4). Now, when a character key etc. for inputting data is operated, each time data is inputted one character at a time,
Set the input data in the input buffer 15 (step S5). On the other hand, if the processing content corresponding to the designated item does not define data input, this is detected in step S2 and the process proceeds to step S6, where the index table is or perform predetermined calculations according to the definition contents to create data corresponding to the item and input it to the input buffer 15.
It is set (step S7). Then, the key waits for human power (step S4).

As a result, data for one item is set in the input buffer 15. When the item key is operated to designate the next item, the process advances to step S8 to check whether the correction key flag is set in the work memory 20. Here, the correction key flag is set when the correction key is operated. Therefore, in this case, since no correction processing is being performed, the process advances to step 317, where the data for l items set in the input buffer 15 is written to the slip memory 17, and then the process advances to step S14, where the input buffer 15 The data therein is printed out from the printing section 16 according to the slip format set in the format memory 19. Then, it is checked whether all items on the slip table have been completed (step 515), and if not, the next item is specified in step 516, and then
Return to step S2.

As a result of sequentially repeating such processing for all items of one slip, slip data is written to the slip memory 17 for each item and is printed out from the printing unit 16.

When data input for one slip is completed, this is detected in step 315 and the process proceeds to step S20, where the process waits for key input.

Here, when the end key is operated, it is checked whether or not the correction flag is set in the work memory 20 (step 521). is set to therefore,
In this case, since no correction processing is being performed, the slip issuance processing ends at this point.

If correction processing is not performed in this manner, the slip issued at the time the end key is operated becomes the official slip in accordance with the predetermined format (see FIG. 4).

If you make corrections midway through (Figure 5), now the “Quantity”
When inputting the data, the user notices the difference between the data and corrects the quantity data input just before. in this case,
First, operate the correction key. Then, the immediately previous item is specified (step 318), and the correction key flag in the work memory 20 is turned on (step 519).

Thereafter, the process returns to step S3, and a message prompting the user to input the designated item is displayed. In this case, you will be prompted to enter the quantitative data to be corrected.

Now, when correction data is input, it is set in the input buffer 15 (step S5). Then, when the item key is operated, the right correction key flag is detected in step S8, so the process proceeds to step S9, and the correction data in the input buffer 15 and the slip memory 17 corresponding to the designated item are
The data in the work memory 20 is compared with the data in the work memory 20 to check whether they match (step 5IO). Turn on the correction flag (step 511)
. Then, correction printing is performed to distinguish the data before correction from the data after correction (step 512). As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the characters "correction" are printed out along with a broken line. Then, the correction data in the input buffer 15 is replaced with the data in the slip memory 17 corresponding to the specified item (step 513). Next, since the data in the input buffer 15 is printed out (step 514
), the quantity data before and after the correction will be printed separately with the words ``revised'' in between (see Figure 5).

Then, check whether all items are finished (step 515),
If not finished, specify the next item in step 3.
16) Then, return to step S2 and repeat the operation of writing the slip data into the slip memory 17 and printing it out from the printing unit 16 for each item until all items are completed.
That is, even if a last-minute correction is made during data entry, the slip issuing process is not interrupted at that point and continues until all items are completed.

When the end key is operated in the state of waiting for human input when all items are detected to be completed (step 520), the presence of a correction flag is detected in step 521. Then, identification data indicating the invalidity of the issued slip at this point is printed out (step 522). in this case,
As shown in FIG. 5, the character string "Above slip invalid" is printed along with a broken line. Then, proceed to step 323,
It is checked whether the data of the following item is changed by the data that was just corrected as described above. In this case, since the quantity data has been corrected, the amount data calculated based on the quantity data has been changed, so it is also necessary to correct it. Furthermore, if the product code is corrected, the unit price and amount also need to be corrected. Note that when the above-mentioned last-minute correction is performed (step 513), if identification data indicating that a correction has been made is set in the slip memory 17 corresponding to the corrected item, the corrected item can be identified in step S23. can.

When it is detected in step 323 that another item has been changed, the necessary data, in this case, the quantity and unit price, are read out from the slip memory 17, and the amount is calculated by calculating "quantity x unit price". is replaced with the amount data in the slip memory 17 (step 524). And step S
25, the data for one slip is sequentially read from the slip memory 17 and sequentially printed out according to the slip format in the format memory 19.

If a correction is made during the input of a slip in this way, the print result up to that point will no longer be an official slip, but will simply be a journal of input confirmation.

When the input of the slip is completed, the corrected data for one slip is newly printed out in a predetermined format, and an official slip is automatically issued (see FIG. 5). Note that since the official slip follows the character string "Above slip invalid", the official slip can be easily identified.

If the correction is made after the first power transmission is completed (6th stage), in this case, when the correction key is operated in the state of waiting for human power in step S20, the process advances to step 526.
Specifies the previous input item. In other words, among each input item whose processing content defined in the item memory 12 indicates that data should be input, the item memory 1
Specify the input item that is first detected as a result of searching the contents of 2 from the end, that is, from the reverse direction. and,
A message prompting correction of the specified item is displayed (step 527), and the system waits for key personnel (step 520).
. If the input item is not the one to be corrected, the user operates the correction key again and continues to operate the correction key many times until the desired input item is specified. Then, when a desired input item is specified, the execution key is operated. Then, the process advances to step S28, and a correction key flag is set in the work memory 20. Then, the process returns to step S4. Here, when the correction data is input, the input correction data is taken into the input buffer 15 (step S5).
. Then, when the item key is operated, the process advances to step S8, but in this case, since the correction key flag is turned on, the correction data in the input buffer 15 and the data corresponding to the specified item in the slip memory 17 are stored in the same manner as in the above case. As a result of executing the correction process (steps 311-S13) on the condition that there is a difference (step S9.510),
The correction flag is turned on and correction printing (“correction”)
Moreover, the data corresponding to the designated item in the slip memory 17 and the corrected data in the input buffer 15 are replaced. After printing the corrected data in the input buffer 15, the process proceeds to step S15, but in this case correction is performed after data input for one slip is completed, and before the correction is performed, it is detected in step S15 that all items have been completed. has been done. Therefore, in this case, step S20
Waiting for key personnel.

Here, if another input item is to be corrected, the correction key etc. may be operated in the same manner as described above. Furthermore, when the end key is operated, the presence of a correction flag is detected in step S21, so the document is invalidated in step S22 in the same manner as described above, and then the official document issuance process is executed (steps 523 to 525). .

In this way, even after data entry for one slip is completed, corrections can be made retroactively for several items. In this case, as in the case of the last-minute correction described above, the print result up to the end of the slip input is no longer an official slip, but merely a journal-like record of input confirmation. Then, the corrected data 0 for one slip is newly printed out according to the predetermined format, and an official slip is automatically issued (see FIG. 6).

In addition, although the above-mentioned example of printing a sales slip shows the case where a sales slip is issued, it is of course possible to issue an order receipt slip, a prize slip, a payment slip, etc.

In addition, in the above embodiment, processing contents are defined corresponding to each item for l slips set in the item memory 12, and if processing contents other than data input are defined, Although the data is automatically created by executing the corresponding process, it is also possible to input all the items for one slip.

[Effects of the Invention] This invention allows when issuing a slip by printing input slip data each time, even if the entered data is corrected while inputting the slip data, the data can be printed at the end of data entry for one slip. Since data for one slip after correction is newly printed, an official slip according to a preset slip format can be automatically issued without having to re-input data from the beginning. As a result, the operator can concentrate only on data input without being aware of the printed state of the slip, making it possible to avoid input errors as much as possible.
