Abstract

PURPOSE:To save tabulating work by including purpose-sorted totalizing codes in a master file included in a POS terminal equipment in addition to commodity names and unit prices corresponding to respective commodity codes, and at the time of recording the contents of a purchase in an IC card, adding the purpose-sorted totalizing code to each commodity. CONSTITUTION:When an IC card 5 is inserted into an IC card reader/writer in a POS terminal system, the contents of a purchase are recorded in the card 5 and a purpose-sorted totalizing code is added to each commodity. When the card 5 is read out by a customer terminal equipment 6 set up on a service counter in a shop in the future, the totalized results of food, groceries, clothing, etc., can be printed out in each purpose together with purchase record in a required period. Thus the total output of each purpose can easily be obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field 1] The present invention relates to a POS information output method to an IC card in a POS terminal system.

[Prior Art] Conventional retail PoS terminal systems simply display the name of each product, its price, and
Most of them output the total amount of all products on a receipt. Note that, as a known document related to this type of POS terminal device, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-298696 can be cited.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) When a consumer etc. keeps a household account book, the contents of shopping are divided into desired groups (for example, radish, carrots, etc. are vegetables,
It is common practice to enter the total amount for each group (this is called a purpose) and for each group (this is called a purpose). By the way, in conventional POS terminal devices, generally, the details of each product purchased by the customer, the total price of all products, etc. are simply output on the receipt. Therefore, when keeping household account books using such receipts,
The user has to re-compile the contents of the receipts one by one for each purpose, which is extremely troublesome when a large number of items are purchased. Furthermore, when tabulating the receipts on a weekly or monthly basis, it is necessary to save all the receipts for that period, and there is a problem in that if even one receipt is lost, an accurate tally cannot be obtained.

An object of the present invention is to easily realize a total output according to a user's purpose using an IC card.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a master file that a POS terminal device has, in addition to the product name, unit price, etc. have an identification code (identification code) for grouping and aggregating by purpose,
When recording and outputting shopping details to an IC card, a purpose-specific tally code is added to each product.

[Function] When the IC card is inserted into the IC card reader/writer of the POS terminal system, the shopping details are recorded on the IC card, and at this time, a purpose-specific tally code is added to each product.

Later, by reading this IC card with a customer terminal device installed at a store or a retail service counter, you can record shopping for the desired period and print out the tally results by purpose (food, miscellaneous goods, clothing, etc.). be able to.

〔Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic system configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a POS terminal device 1, a barcode reader 2, a receipt output device 3, and an IC card reader/writer 4
This constitutes a retail PoS terminal system, which is installed in the sales floor of a retail store. On the other hand, the customer terminal device 6, IC
The card reader/writer 7 and the print output device 8 constitute a customer terminal system, which is installed at a store or a service counter. 5 is an IC card, which is read/written by IC card reader/writers 4 and 7.

The POS terminal device 1 aggregates data input from the barcode reader 2 and operates the receipt output device 3 to issue a receipt. At this time, when the IC card 5 is read by the IC card reader/writer 4, the PoS terminal device l
stores the shopping details and purpose-based tally codes on the corresponding IC card 5.
to be recorded.

This recording on the IC card 5 is performed every time the customer makes a purchase. Later, the customer inserts the IC card 5 into an IC card reader/writer 7 of a customer terminal device 6 installed at a store or service counter. Thereby, the customer terminal device 6 outputs the shopping record for the required period (for example, one month) and the total of the purpose-based units from the print output device 8.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of a POSO8 terminal device tank, including an input buffer 11 that stores input data, and an accumulation buffer 12 that stores the total results of input data.
, receipt buffer 1 that stores receipt output data
3. It consists of an IC card buffer 14 that stores output data for the IC card, and a P○S terminal control section 15 that controls the totalization of input data and the operation of each section. Note that the POS terminal control unit 15 stores name, price (unit price) in correspondence with the product code.
It has a built-in product master file that registers parts codes (codes classified by retailers for product management purposes), purpose-specific aggregation codes (classification codes required by users such as consumers), etc. However, it is omitted in FIG.

FIG. 3 shows the flow of processing within the POS terminal device l. Data such as product code and quantity are input to buffer 1.
1 (step 31), the POS terminal control unit 15 searches the product master file 30 using the input product code as a key to obtain the product name, unit price, purpose-specific aggregation code, etc. For each purchase, a purpose-specific aggregation code is added and the shopping contents are accumulated in the accumulation buffer 12 (step 32). The contents of the accumulation buffer 12 are output to the receipt from the receipt output device 3 via the receipt buffer 13 (step 33).
, At this time, the contents of the accumulation buffer 12 are also accumulated in the IC card buffer 14 (step 34).
). This process is repeated for each data input for one customer, and when the data input is completed, the IC card buffer 14
The contents are output from the IC card reader/writer 4 to the IC card 5 (step 35). FIG. 4 shows an example of the recording format of the IC card 5.

When this IC card 5 is read by an IC card reader/writer 7 of a customer terminal device 6 installed at a service counter in a retail industry, the customer terminal device 6 processes a total of purchase amounts by date, etc. At the same time, The purchase amount is totaled in units of purpose-based totalization codes for use in household account books, etc., and outputted from a printout device 8. FIG. 5 shows an example of the output. Purpose-specific tally codes, such as food, miscellaneous goods, and clothing, are output in the corresponding Japanese display.

C. Effects of the Invention j As explained above, according to the present invention, in addition to the user's purchase details, it is possible to output aggregation by purpose for the user by using an IC card. Significant labor savings in aggregation work are achieved.
