DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a transaction processing device that registers sales items or registers sales items by department by operating keys on a keyboard.

(b) In conventional technology transaction processing devices, PLU cattle corresponding to each product
When the PLU code is generated by operating 5, the product table formed in the memory is searched by this code, the corresponding m price is read, and this unit price is registered in the sales file. In addition to the registration for each product, 6.
There is also a method of registering the products to be registered by group by inputting the amount and operating the department column to which the products to be registered belong.

In such a transaction processing device, the PLU key for each product or the department for each department can be registered by assigning predetermined key information to each key used for registration in advance. It functions as a key.

(c) Problems that the invention aims to solveIn recent years, stores jointly managed by different industries, such as Tatami, which is a coffee shop at night, are becoming more and more popular, even though they are the same store at different times of the day. The number of different forms of management is increasing.

However, in conventional transaction processing devices, when the product changes due to a change in industry, the key information of the registration key also needs to be changed. Therefore, it is very troublesome to change the key information every time the type of business is changed, and conventionally, transaction processing devices are provided according to the type of business, which is inefficient.

Therefore, the present invention provides a transaction processing device whose operation mode can be easily changed with a single transaction processing device.

(d) Means for solving the problem of supervision In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a transaction processing device that registers sales products or departments of sales products by operating a registration key. A plurality of types of identifying key information are provided for each registration key, and when an operation pattern is selected, registration processing is performed under the key information corresponding to the operation pattern.

(e) Operation By specifying the operation mode of the transaction processing device, various registered keys on the keyboard are fixed to the PLU key or department key depending on the operation.

When a key is operated, registration processing is performed based on key information corresponding to the operation pattern.

(To) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a transaction processing device 1 according to the present invention.
The operating program is stored in the ROM 4.2 via the bus switch 3. RAM5. and l,
10 Innotah Ace 6 is connected. And 1/○
A keyboard 1'7, a display 8, a printer 9, and a drawer 10 are connected to the interface 6. Here, the ten-board 7 and the display 8 are provided in the main body 11 of the transaction processing device 1, as shown in FIG.

The keyboard 7 includes a plurality of registration keys 7A for registering products, a funk key 7B, and a numeric keypad 7G.
The 6 registered cows 7A in which are arranged are preset to either PLU cows, department keys, or unused keys. Depending on the type of operation of the store, the setting pattern may be, for example, Pattern A, which operates in a tatami coffee shop, or Pattern B, which operates in a pub at night.

The RAM 5 includes at least storage areas 51 to 55. The storage area 51 is used as a key table for storing key information corresponding to a plurality of registered keys 7A. As shown in FIG. 3, the key tables include a ten table 51a that stores key information for the A pattern, and a cow table 51b that stores key information for the B pattern. The information includes a key code, a key flag for specifying the type of cow, a product code, and a department code. Here, the key flag is "0°" indicates that the corresponding key is unused, "1" indicates that it is a PLU cow, and 2" indicates that it is a department key.
The product code is a 4-digit number that indicates each product, and the department code is a 2-digit number that indicates each department.1For example,
In the example shown in FIG. 3, the key code rooooIJ
The registration key 3 corresponding to is the PLLI key in the A pattern,
In pattern B, each department key is set.

The storage area 52 is used to store product information, and the fourth storage area 52 is used to store product information.
As shown in the figure, there is a product table 52a that stores product names, unit prices, attribute department codes, etc. classified by product code, and a department table 52b that stores department names classified and stored by department code. .

The first store area 53 is used as a sales registration file for storing sales data such as sales product code (tζ), department code of sales product, sales amount, and number of sales items.

The storage area 54 is used as a tζth flag for storing whether the registration operation using the registration key 7A is performed using the A pattern or the B pattern.

At this time, pattern switching is achieved by operating a predetermined function key 7B on the keyboard 7. Specifically, a method is to provide a tζth temporary tightening key that performs the tightening operations up to this point when the daytime business ends, and to change the pattern 6 times by simultaneously rewriting the flag by operating this temporary tightening key. be.

The storage area 55 is used as a numeric keypad buffer for storing values set by operating the numeric keypad to 7C.

Then, when switching the pattern, each registration key 7A
It is necessary to replace the No) 12 placed on the registration key 7A to visually display the type of the turn according to the turn. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the seat 12 is replaced by lifting the cover 13 upward from the main body 11 and removing the seat presser 14.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart explaining the specific operation of this transaction processing device.

When the key force is applied to the cow board 7 in step S1, the process proceeds to step S2.

In this step S2, the CPU 2 uses the keyboard 7
Based on the input key code, it is determined whether the operated key is the numeric keypad 7C. Then, when the numeric keypad 7C is operated, the process goes to step S3, and the CPU 2 stores the value set by the numeric keypad in the numeric keypad buffer, and then returns to step S1.

If the manual key operation is not on the numeric keypad 7C, the process goes to step S4, and the CPU 2 determines whether or not the operated key is the registered key 7A based on the key code input from the keyboard 7. Then, it is an operation of a key other than the registration key 7A.

Other processing is performed depending on the type of key.

If the registration key 7A is operated, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the CPU 2 checks the flag in the storage area 54 to determine which pattern of manual input is being used.

Then, when it is determined that the input is in pattern A,
In step S6, the key table 51a is referred to, and in step S7, the product code or department code and cow flag corresponding to the key code entered manually are searched. On the other hand, if it is determined that the input is B) Search for.

In the next step SIO, the CPU 2 checks the searched key flag to determine whether the operated registration key 7A is a PLU key or a department key.
Matoko determines whether it is an unused 10-. and,
If the key is unused, the process returns to step S1 and waits for the next key.

If the registration key 7A is the PLU key, step S11
This will be the process. In this step Sll, the product table 4a is referred to using the searched product code, and in step S12, the product name and unit price corresponding to this product code are read out, and these information are displayed on the display 8 and printed on the printer 9. Print on the receipt.

If the registration key 7A is a department key, the process of step S13 is performed, and the registration operation using the three department keys that determines whether the amount has been entered manually using the numeric keypad is performed after inputting the amount of the product using the numeric keypad. Therefore, in step S13, the CPU 2 determines whether the input value is stored in the numeric keypad buffer, and registers by operating the numeric keypad before operating the department key. Determine whether an amount has been entered. If there is no amount of money, step S1 is returned as an error.
to return to.

If there is an amount input, the process goes to step SI4, and C
PU2 is the department table 52b with the searched department code.
In the next step S15, the department name corresponding to this product code is read out and manually displayed on the display 8 together with the price per item, and the printer 9 prints it on the receipt.

The transaction processing device 1 described above can perform the registration operation using the registration key 7A in two operation patterns by providing two types of key tables for storing key information.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, sales registration operations in different industries can be performed using a single device, and an efficient transaction processing device is provided.
