Abstract

PURPOSE:To print not only the total sales, but also individual data by providing a new storage area regarding an article in a storage means additionally every time the article code or sale amount of the article is changed and performing a totalizing process regarding the article. CONSTITUTION:Article codes and sale prices are set in a memory 7 by a setting means 3 previously. When R/W 2 detects a card 1, the data on the card 1 are read by R/W 2 and the remaining amount of money is displayed on a display means 4; when the remaining amount is large enough to sell an article, the amount of money of the purchased article is subtracted, the remaining amount of money is written on the card 1, and the totalizing process is performed. If a memory area matching the set values of the current article code and sale price of this vending is found in the memory 7, areas for the article code, price, and totalization are provided newly on the memory 7 to store the data. Consequently, even when articles to be sold are changed several times in a specific totalization period, necessary data on sales by articles, etc., are recognized and the totalization efficiency is improved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a card-based goods sales system in which goods are sold by reading and writing data in a magnetic card, for example, with a card reader/writer (R/W). Regarding equipment.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in a conventional cafeteria terminal 1 selection machine as this type of device, the product code and sales unit price are set and input into the internal storage means, sales data is added and stored for each sale, and the data is cleared. The cumulative total since then was printed on recording paper, etc.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, according to the conventional device as described above, if, for example, the total sales amount is calculated every month and the sales products are different every 10 days, the total sales amount remains as data at the time of calculation. , there was a problem in that the individual sales numbers and sales amounts for the three types of products were unknown. Therefore, the only option was to record intermediate data in an appropriate recording means each time a product was changed.

An object of the present invention is to provide a card-type article vending device that solves the above-mentioned problems.

By adding a new storage area for the product, it is possible to perform a tally regarding the product.For example, when printing the tally data, it becomes possible to print not only the total sales but also individual data.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a storage means that stores a product code and a selling price, and determines whether or not there is a storage area for the product code and sales price related to the sold product in the storage means when selling a product by card. a setting means for setting, in the storage means, a new storage area for the product code or new selling price of the product when the judgment means makes a negative judgment; and means for aggregating sales data regarding the stored products.

[Function] According to the present invention, whenever the product code or sales amount is changed, the product is stored in the storage means each time. [Example] Fig. 1 shows the configuration of the present invention.

In Figure 1, 51 is a magnetic card with amount data;
is the card R/ that reads or writes data on card 1.
W, 3 is a setting means (keyboard) for setting and inputting the sales price, product code, etc. into the memory 7; 4 is a display means for displaying the data on the card L and the sales price; 5 is a printer for printing the sales data; Reference numeral 6 denotes a main control section, which includes a ROM etc. that stores control procedures as shown in FIG. 2, which will be described later. The memory 7 has a storage area for product codes, selling prices, etc., a temporary storage area for processing data, and the like.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(bl) show operational flowcharts of this embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the setting means 3 sets the product code and sales price in the memory 7 in advance (including product codes scheduled to be sold later, sales prices scheduled to be changed, etc.), and then the card 1 is inserted into the memory 7. If R/W 2 detects (Sl),
The data of the card 1 is read by the R/W 2, the remaining amount is displayed on the display means 4 (S2), and it is determined whether it can be sold (S2).
3). If it is not possible to sell here, proceed to S6, card 1
If it can be sold, subtract the price of the purchased product (by pressing the product (product code) selection button (not shown) in S4), write the remaining amount on card L (S4), and total it. The following processing is performed (S5), and the process proceeds to S6.

This aggregation process (S5) is as shown in Figure 2 (bl).
In S7 and S8, it is checked whether there is a memory area in the memory 7 that matches the current product code and sales price settings for the sale, and if there is a matching area, the price is added to the cumulative area in S9. do. If there is no matching area in S7 and S8, new areas for the product code, price, and cumulative total are created in the memory 7 and stored (5IO), and the process proceeds to S9. Therefore, the memory area of memory 7 is the product code 1.
It is possible to add up to 4 or more permissible range for each different price. A specific example of the memory area is as shown in FIG. 3, for example. After adding up the total (S5), card 1 is returned (S6). When the data in each area of the memory 7 is printed by the printer 5, the total sales amount and data for each product stored in each memory area are printed.

[Effect of the invention j As explained above, according to the present invention, even if the sales products are changed several times during a predetermined aggregation period, necessary data such as sales for each product can be known, and the aggregation Efficiency is improved and, for example, it becomes easier to create ledgers.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1) a storage means that stores product codes and selling prices;
Judgment means for judging whether or not there is a storage area for the product code and sales price related to the sales product in the storage means when selling the product by card, and when the judgment means makes a negative judgment, the product code or sales price for the product is determined. The present invention is characterized by comprising a setting means for setting a new storage area for a new sales price in the storage means, and a means for totalizing sales data regarding products whose product codes and sales prices are stored in the storage means.
