FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to electronic cash registers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows a conventional electronic cash register 1.
A general configuration of 0 is shown. In the figure, an electronic cash register 10 is a CPU 1 that controls arithmetic operations, judgments, instructions, etc.
1. A ROM 12 that stores various programs and fixed data for setting, registration, inspection, and settlement operations, a RAM 13 that temporarily stores various data, and the like. By switching the control switch (key switch) 26, the CP
By cooperation of U11, ROM12, etc., setting business, registration business, inspection business, and settlement business can be switched and executed.

Here, the setting work means a work for setting various conditions from the host computer 100 through the keyboard 20 (keyboard circuit 16) and the communication circuit 28.
Further, the registration work means the scanner 19 (scanner circuit 1
5) Alternatively, based on the product code or the like input from the keyboard 20, the price of the sold product is calculated from the product data storage means and the total price is calculated and stored in the sales registration data storage means, and the result is displayed on the display. 21 is a job for issuing a receipt displayed on the printer 21 and printed by the printer 22.

Further, the inspection work is a work for printing out the sales amount and total sales points accumulated in the sales registration data storage means by the registration work. Furthermore, the settlement business means, for example, at the end of the business day,
This is a job to print out the data (total sales amount, total sales points, etc.) cumulatively stored in the sales registration data storage means by the registration operation, clear the stored contents of the sales registration data storage means, and open the drawer 23. .

The product data storage means is shown in FIG.

[0007]

By the way, as business and store formats have become more diverse, as shown in FIG.
In the left room 40A in the same store 40, for example, men's clothing, left room 4
There are many cases where women's clothing is sold in 0A and the right room 40B, which is free to come and go, and the two owners are separate corporations. This is remarkable in the case of so-called unification of different industries or consolidation of the same floor in a large store.

In such a case, conventionally, in order to effectively implement the original point-of-sale management, it is the actual situation that dedicated electronic cash registers 10A and 10B are installed in the respective rooms 40A and 40B.

However, even if the attraction of customers is strengthened by combining different industries, for example, two electronic cash registers (10A, 10B) are installed, so that not only the cost becomes high, but also two cashiers are required in case of lack of manpower. Therefore, it is not always directly connected to the cost saving for the store side.

On the other hand, on the customer side, the products purchased in the left room 10A and the products purchased in the right room must be brought to separate electronic cash registers (10A, 10B), which is troublesome. However, some point out that the store format does not appeal to them.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make registration work common regardless of product types and the like, and to perform setting work, inspection work and settlement work separately for each product type and the like. It is to provide a cash register.

[0012]

According to the present invention, an electronic cash register capable of switching between setting work, registration work, inspection work and settlement work is provided with a plurality of sets of product data storage means and sales registration data storage means. Selection means for selecting any of these storage means is provided, and the setting business, inspection business and settlement business are executed by using the product data storage means and sales registration data storage means selected by the selection means. With respect to the registration work, a selection work execution control means for executing the work using the product data storage means corresponding to the input product data and the sales registration data storage means is provided.

[0013]

In the present invention having such a configuration, the setting work is performed by selecting the product data storage means which is the selection means. Then, the product data such as the product code, the product name, and the unit price is set in the selected product data storage means. The same applies to other product data storage means.

However, the registration work can be performed as a series of common operations for any product without being involved in the selection operation of the selection means. That is, when the product code or the like is input, the selected job performance control means reads the product data from the product data storage means in which the product data corresponding to the product code or the like is stored, and the corresponding sales to register the product. Sales are registered in the registration data storage means.

On the other hand, if the sales registration data storage means, which is the selection means, is selected, the inspection work and the settlement work are performed by the sales registration data storage means selected by the selection work performance control means.

Therefore, the registration work, that is, the sales work can be performed in common and the inspection and settlement work can be performed separately by installing only one electronic cash register.

[0017]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic cash register (10) has the same basic configuration as the conventional example (FIG. 5).
In addition, a plurality of sets of product data storage means and sales registration data storage means are provided, and selection means 30 and selection work execution means are provided so that setting, inspection, and settlement work can be performed independently and registration work, that is, sales work. Are configured to be common.

The same or common parts as those of the conventional example (FIG. 5) are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

First, the product data storage means is the RAM 13
2 is formed in this embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, it is composed of two data areas DAA and DAB. Corresponding to this, the sales registration data storage means also
As shown in FIG. 3, it is formed of two data areas RAA and RAB.

The product data storage means (DAA) on one side and the product data storage means (DAB) on the other side both store a product code, a product name, and a unit price, but there is no product commonly stored in both.

Similarly, each sales registration data storage means (RA
In A and RAB), the product code, the product name, the number of sales, and the sales amount are stored. Product data storage means DAA
(DAB) is a sales registration data storage means RAA (RA
B) and corresponding means DAA, RAA
A common product is set and stored in (DAB, RAB).

Here, the selection means 30 includes a plurality of (in this embodiment, "2") corresponding commodity data storage means DAA.
(DAB) and sales registration data storage means RAA (RAB)
One of the corresponding storage means DAA, RAA (DA
B, RAB) is selected. In this example,
Although it is formed of a special switch (30) and is connected through the interface 14, it can be configured by also using a specific key in the keyboard 20.

Next, the selected job performance control means is the CPU 1.
1 and the ROM 12, and uses the product data storage means DAA (DAB) and the sales registration data storage means RAA (RAB) selected by the selection means 30 to perform setting operations,
Performs inspection work and settlement work. That is, the setting work is stored in the selected product data storage means DAA (DAB) as shown in FIG.
As shown in (A) and ((B)), the product data is set and stored. On the other hand, the inspection / settlement work is stored in the selected sales registration data storage means RAA (RAB).
This is performed using the data such as the sales amount shown in (A) and ((B)).

However, regarding the registration work, the selection means 3
It is executed in common regardless of the 0 selection operation. That is, when product data such as a product code is input using the scanner 19 or the keyboard 20, the product data storage unit DAA (DAB) of FIG. 2A [(B)] storing the product code and the like. The amount of money or the like is read out from the product, and the sales points or amount of sales of the product are registered and stored in the corresponding sales registration data storage means RAA (RAB) of FIG. 3A [B] where the product should be stored. It is formed with one.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. (Setting work) The key switch 26 is switched to the "setting" mode, and the selecting means 30 selects either one (A) or the other (B). Now, assume that one (A) is selected.

Here, product data such as a product code, a product name, and a unit price is displayed on the keyboard 20 or the host computer 1.
When inputting from 00, the input product data is selected by the selected work performance control means (CPU 11, ROM 12) and the selected product data storage means (area DAA of RAM 13)
2 is set and stored as shown in FIG. The same is done when the other (B) is selected.

(Registration work) When a product code or the like is input from the keyboard 20 or the scanner 19, the selection work execution control means (11, 12) stores the product code or the like in the product data storage means (of the RAM 13). Area DA
After reading the product name and unit price from A or DAB) and obtaining the total price, the corresponding sales registration data storage means (RA
The number of sales and the amount of sales are cumulatively stored in the relevant product (product code) column of the area RAA or RAB of M13.

Therefore, the sales obtained from the input product data are irrelevant to which product data storage means DAA, DAB are stored, and irrespective of the selection operation of the selection means 30 (selection operation is unnecessary). Registration data can be automatically registered and stored in the sales registration data storage means RAA, RAB.

In other words, the sales operation can be executed randomly as a mixture regardless of the types of products, so that one cashier can efficiently perform the sales operation. It is very convenient because customers can bring many products to one place.

(Inspection / settlement work) With respect to the product stored in the sales registration data storage means RAA (RAB) selected by the selection means 30, the selected work execution control means (1)
1 and 13) individually print out the sales amount and the like. Therefore, business management data of another corporation can be separately and timely irrespective of the common sales business.

According to this embodiment, however, the product data storage means (areas DAA, DAB of RAM 13) and the sales registration data storage means (areas RAA, R of RAM 13).
AB) and a plurality of (2) sets are provided and a selection means 30 and a selected work performance control means (CPU 11, ROM 12) are provided,
Since the setting work, the checking work, and the settlement work can be individually executed while the registration work can be commonly executed, one electronic cash register (10) can handle, for example, products of different industries. Therefore, facility cost and cashier cost can be reduced, and convenience and service for customers can be improved.

The commodity data storage means, the sales registration data storage means, and the selected job execution means are the CPU 11, ROM 12, RAM 13 essential to the electronic cash register 10.
Since it is constructed to be used for both, etc., it can be realized at high speed with high reliability and low cost.

In the above embodiment, a plurality of (2) product data storage means and sales registration data storage means are provided in the RAM.
