(Drawer opening device 25) and the like, and the heavy sale product data shown in FIG.
The cashier is supposed to be stored in the scanner 1
When the bar code attached to the customer-purchased product is read by 9, the price is calculated from the read product weight and the unit price stored in the RAM 13 if it is a heavy-selling product (ST20 in FIG. 6). The same ST21) and the registration process (ST22) are performed.

[0004]

Therefore, in order to carry out the fixed amount sale, a tag clearly indicating the price of the fixed amount sale product is attached in advance, and the cashier inputs the fixed amount each time using the keyboard 20. It has to be entered, which is a very laborious and tedious task.

Moreover, the fixed-rate sale service is often executed just before the busiest closing time, which leads to low sales loss due to erroneous operation and deterioration of customer service due to a long line.

An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-handle electronic cash register which can quickly, accurately and smoothly carry out flat-rate selling.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention comprises a fixed-rate selling declaration means, a fixed-rate selling data storage means for storing a fixed-rate selling price and fixed-rate selling information about a weight-selling product to be fixed-rate selling, and a fixed-rate selling declaration. Based on the product data read later, it is determined that the product is a heavy-duty sale product and the fixed-price sales information is attached, and the condition is that it is determined that the product is a heavy-duty sale product with the fixed-price information. An electronic cash register, comprising: a fixed-price registration processing control means for registering the weight-selling product at a fixed amount stored in the fixed-price data storage means.

[0008]

In the present invention having the above structure, the fixed-price selling price and fixed-price selling information are stored in the fixed-price selling data storage means. Thus, when the cashier reads the product data of the customer-purchased product with a scanner or the like by the ordinary method after declaring that by the fixed-price selling means, the judging means is the product that is the heavy-selling product and the fixed-sale information is attached. Or not.

If the judgment means determines YES (YES), the flat-rate selling registration processing control means performs the registration processing with the flat-rate selling price stored in the flat-rate selling data storage means. Therefore, as long as the fixed-price sale declaration can be made, the cashier can carry out the fixed-price sale at a predetermined weight accurately and promptly for a predetermined weight-selling product by the ordinary operation.

[0010]

Embodiments 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 that of the conventional example (FIG. 4), and also has a fixed amount sale declaration means 30 and a fixed amount sale data storage means (1).
3) and the judgment means (11, 12) and the fixed-rate sale registration control means (11, 12) are provided, and if the fixed-rate sale declaration can be made, at any time, only the predetermined weight-selling product can be sold at the predetermined fixed-rate. Moreover, it is configured so that a fixed amount sale can be automatically performed by a conventional operation.

The same parts as those of the conventional example (FIG. 4) are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

The fixed-rate selling declaration means declares that the fixed-rate selling will be executed. In this embodiment, I / O is performed.
It is formed from declaration keys 30 connected via 31. However, this means (30) can be implemented as a configuration that also serves as a specific key in the keyboard 20 or as a configuration that is automatically declared using the discount sale start timing for other products.

Next, the flat-rate selling data storage means stores the flat-rate selling price and the flat-rate selling information (in this embodiment, the status) about the weight-selling product that is the target of the flat-rate selling.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the conventional product data file (RAM 13) is provided with a status column and a fixed amount column. However, the fixed-price selling information may be the implementation time or the like.

The status "1" means that the fixed amount sale is performed. “0” is a normal weight-selling product. on the other hand,
A flat rate (eg, 700 yen) is a rate that is sold regardless of the unit price per unit weight (eg, 500 yen per 100g) and regardless of the weight of the product (eg, one block of beef). .. In other words, one block of 100 g or more costs 700 yen. It should be noted that the status "1" may be stored for each target product while declaring a flat-rate sale, but in this embodiment, it is stored in advance and becomes effective when the flat-rate sale is declared. It is configured.

Further, the judging means is ST10, 11 in FIG.
The ROM 12 storing the program shown in FIG. 1 and the CPU 11 that executes the program, and the product data read after the flat-rate sale declaration is made, the product is a heavy-weight sale item and the flat-rate sale status (STS) is attached. (S
It is determined whether TS = 1).

On the other hand, the flat-rate sale registration processing control means, for the goods which are judged by the judging means (11, 12) to be the weight-selling goods (STS = 1) to which the flat-rate selling status is added, the flat-rate selling data storage means ( 13) is a unit for performing a registration process with a fixed amount stored in 13), which is composed of the CPU 11 and the ROM 12 and is executed in ST12 and ST14 of FIG.

If the answer is NO (NO in ST11),
It will be sold at a normal price (ST13, 14).

Next, the operation will be described. Regarding the weight-selling products that are subject to flat-rate selling, the flat-rate selling status (S
TS = 1) and its fixed amount are set and stored in advance in the ROM 12, which is a fixed amount selling data storage means, as shown in FIG.

When the cashier reads the customer-purchased product by the ordinary operation using the scanner 19 thereafter, the judgment means (11, 12) causes the determination means (11, 12) to read ST1 in FIG.
The judgment of 0 and 11 is performed. For products for which YES is determined in both ST10 and ST11, the flat-rate sale registration processing control means (11, 12) performs registration processing with the "flat-rate" of FIG. 2 stored in the flat-rate sale data storage means (13) as the price. (ST12, 13).

If the product is not a weight-selling product (ST10
If the price in the product data file and the flat-rate sale status are not set and stored (NO in step 11)
In the case of NO), the registration processing is performed at the price obtained from the unit price shown in FIG. 2 and the read weight in ST13 (ST1).
