た。Is the rotary drive motor of the floppy disk device built into conventional PoS terminal devices always on?
When performing on/off control, the motor is turned on based on the timing of the operator's key-in operation, and the motor is turned off when there is no input for a certain period of time.

こと。There is a problem in that if the rotary drive motor is always on, the life of the floppy disk device will be shortened. Further, when the motor is turned on by the operator when the shopping customer hands over the purchased product to the operator, it takes time for the motor to reach a stable state and the floppy disk can be accessed, making the shopping customer wait during that time.

るＦＤＤ制御手段とを具備することを特徴とする。The POS terminal device of the present invention is a combination of a light emitting device and a light receiver, which is installed between a soccer table and a two-way table, and can recognize the passing of a person by turning on the light when the person passes.
a passing sensor monitoring means for monitoring the passing of a person based on a signal from the light receiver; - a sales registration means for recognizing the completion of sales registration of a mouse customer; a person passing between the sweat recorder and the light receiver; By doing so, the motor of the floppy disk device is turned on when it is determined that a shopping customer to be processed has disappeared, and the next shopping customer has completed the sales registration of the shopping customer. and FDD control means for turning off the motor of the floppy disk device if the floppy disk drive does not pass through the floppy disk drive.

アクセスに備える。FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. A light emitter 5 and a light receiver 6 are installed between a soccer table on which a POS terminal used in a supermarket or the like is installed. Normally, a light receiver 6 detects the light from the light emitter 5. When a shopping customer passes through this gap, the light is blocked, and the passing sensor monitoring means 7 detects the passing of the person to know that the person has passed. The passing sensor monitoring means 7 notifies the FDD control means 8 of this fact. FDD control means 8
turns on the rotary drive motor of the floppy disk device 9 and prepares for the floppy disk access from the sales registration means 4.

The DD control means 8 is notified. At this time, if the passing of the second shopping customer is not detected by the passing sensor monitoring means 7, the rotary drive motor of the floppy disk device 9 is turned off. If detected, preparations are made to write data for the next shopping customer.

る。FIG. 2 depicts the arrangement of the POS terminal 11 and the soccer table 12 from above. Soccer tables are lined up in parallel, and shopping customers line up in line at an empty POS terminal.When it is their turn, they place their shopping carts on the soccer tables, and the operator reads the items on the laser scanner 2 or from the keyboard of the POS terminal 11. You will have to input it, register it, and wait for it to be settled. The light emitter 5 and the light receiver 6 are the soccer table 12 and the soccer table 1.
It will be installed between 3 and 3 to monitor the passage of shopping customers.

化を防ぐ効果を有する。As explained above, the present invention extends the life of the floppy disk drive by turning off the motor when there are no shoppers, and quickly removes the floppy disk drive when there is a problem with a shopper who must be disposed of. This has the effect of preventing deterioration of service to shopping customers by turning on the motor.
