Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously enable sign-on for a casher and a checker without fail by providing an extended sign-on key and a signal transmitting means at an extended unit and providing a main body sign-on key and a signal discriminating means at a main body unit. CONSTITUTION:The casher turns on a main body sign-on key 20C of a main body unit 10 and performs registration. On the other hand, the checker turns on an extended sign-on key 40K of an extended unit 30. This ON operating signal is transmitted from a CPU 31 through an I/O 34 to the main body unit 10. Then, a CPU 11 and a ROM 12 on the side of the main body unit 10 automatically discriminate whether the ON operating signal comes from the main body sign-on key 20C or from the extended sign-on key 40K. Based on this discriminated result, the CPU 11 and the ROM 12 perform sign-on processing for casher or sign-on processing for checker. Therefore, the mutual erroneous operation of the casher and the checker can be prevented, and jobs can be executed without being delayed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration data processing device capable of two-person operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 4 and 5 show a product sales registration data processing device capable of two-person operation. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 2 is a soccer table, and the main unit 1 is located downstream of the basket 1 in the flow direction X.
0 is arranged, and the expansion unit 30 is arranged on the upstream side. Both 10, 30 are connected by a cable 29,
It is possible to perform so-called two-person operation in which the checker CKR performs the registration work using the expansion unit 30 and the cashier CHR performs the settlement work using the main body unit 10.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the main body unit 10 includes a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, an input / output port (I / O) 14, a scanner 19 (controller 1).
5), keyboard 20 (controller 16), display 21 for customer and cashier (controller 1)
7), a printer 22 (controller 24) and a drawer 23 connected via an input / output port (I / O) 18
It is generally composed of an electronic cash register (10) provided with (drawer opening / closing device 25) and the like. Therefore, if there are “setting”, “registration”, “accounting”, and “inspection” modes and a one-person mode, both registration and payment operations can be performed.

On the other hand, the expansion unit 30 may be composed of the same electronic cash register (10) as described above,
Generally, it is configured only for registration work, including a CPU 31, a ROM 32, a RAM 33, an input / output port 34, a stationary or handy type scanner 39 (controller 35), a keyboard 40 (controller 36), and a display 41 (controller 37). Has been done.

When the store is busy, for example, the main unit 10
When the two-person switching key 20D of the (keyboard 20) is pressed to switch to the two-person mode, the checker CKR can operate the scanner 39 to the keyboard 40 of the expansion unit 30 to input sales data. That is, registration work can be performed. In this way, the input sales data is RA
It is temporarily stored in M33, then transferred to the main unit 10 and registered in the file (RAM 13).

[0006] Therefore, the cashier CHR needs only to perform the settlement operation based on the sales data transferred from the expansion unit 30 and registered and stored by using the main body unit 10, so that the product can be sold quickly and the customer C
The service for STR can also be improved. Here, for the settlement operation in the main body unit 10, the total amount and the like are displayed on the display device 21 and the receipt is issued from the printer 22. Then, a series of operations for giving and receiving money using the opened drawer 23 is performed.

The product sales registration data processing device (1
0, 30) makes it clear who is in charge of each of the registration work and the settlement work, and makes it easier to carry out the responsibility sharing and various management thereafter. For this purpose, the keyboard 20 on the main body unit 10 side is provided with a cashier sign-on key 20C and a checker sign-on key 20K, and a sign-on processing means.

That is, the sign-on processing means performs an on-operation of the cashier sign-on key 20C, and if there is a numeric value input before or after this, the sign-on processing is performed as the cashier's charge code, while the sign for the checker is used. When the ON key 20K is turned on and there is a numeral input before and after this, the sign-on processing is performed as a checker responsible code. However, if the two-person switching key 20D is not operated and the cashier sign-on key 20C is turned on in the one-person mode, the code is processed as the same person as the person in charge of cashier and the person in charge of checker.

[0009]

However, according to the above conventional structure, the cashier sign-on key 20C is used.
Since the checkered sign-on key 20K and the checkered sign-on key 20K are provided on the same keyboard 20, an erroneous ON operation is likely to occur. For example, this is a case where the cashier has turned on the checker sign-on key 20K and has entered the checkout operation.

In particular, when the mode is switched to the two-person mode, the store is busy, so that the checker cannot easily turn on the sign-on key 20K while the cashier is performing the settlement operation on the main unit 10. Also, the cashier sign-on key 20C may be accidentally turned on. In either case, registration and settlement operations are delayed, resulting in poor service.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of quickly and accurately performing merchandise sales registration data processing by two-person driving.

[0012]

A commodity sales registration data processing device according to the present invention comprises a main unit having sign-on processing means capable of executing registration and settlement operations and at least an expansion unit capable of executing registration operations. In a product sales registration data processing device capable of two-person operation of a checker and a cashier, the extension unit is provided with an extension sign-on key and signal transmission means for transmitting an ON operation signal of the extension sign-on key to the main unit. At the same time, the main body unit is provided with a main body sign-on key and a signal discriminating means for discriminating whether the inputted ON operation signal is a main body sign-on key or an extended sign-on key, and the sign-on processing means is provided for discriminating the signal. If the means is the main unit's sign-on key, it is automatically turned on. Characterized by being configured to sign-on process for the checker when automatically determining if there Sign-on processing and extended sign-on key for the cashier to issue.

[0013]

In the present invention having the above-described structure, the cashier turns on the main body sign-on key provided on the keyboard of the main body unit and performs the number setting. On the other hand, the checker turns on the extended sign-on key provided on the keyboard of the extension unit. This ON operation signal is transmitted to the main unit by the signal transmission means. Then, the signal discriminating means on the main body unit side automatically discriminates whether the ON operation signal is for the main body sign-on key or the extended sign-on key. Then, the sign-on processing means performs the sign-on processing for cashier or the sign-on processing for checker based on the result of this automatic discrimination. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a mutual error operation between the cashier and the checker, and the checker can perform self-sign-on with the expansion unit even when the cashier is performing the settlement operation.

However, the CPU 11 determines that the cashier sign-on has been completed (YES in ST12) even if the determination in ST11 is YES (YES in ST12) and there is no input of the numerical value (ST).
If NO in 13), error processing is performed (ST19). ST
The same applies to the cases of 16 and 17.

Here, the sign-on processing means is judged by the signal judging means (11, 12) to belong to the main body sign-on key 20C (YES in ST11, ST14) and the sign-on processing for cashier (ST15). And then
On the other hand, if it is determined that the key is the extended sign-on key 40K (NO in ST11, ST18), sign-on processing for checkers (ST15) is performed. The sign-on processing means is composed of the CPU 11 and the ROM 12.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the store is busy, the cashier is the main unit 1
Before 0, the standing changeover key 20D is switched to the two-person mode. On the other hand, the checker arrives at the expansion unit 30.

Here, the cashier is the keyboard 20.
The upper body sign-on key 20C is turned on and the self-code is entered. These are temporarily stored in the RAM 13. On the other hand, the checker turns on the extended sign-on key 40K on the keyboard 40 to input the self-code. These are temporarily stored in the RAM 33, but immediately transmitted to the main unit 10 by the signal transmission means (31, 32, 34) and stored in the RAM 13.

The signal discriminating means (11, 12) has an ON operation signal for the sign-on key (20C, 40K) (ST).
If the answer is YES, then it is automatically determined whether the ON operation signal is for the main body sign-on key 20C or the extended sign-on key 40K (ST11). RAM for the main unit sign-on key 20C (YES in ST11)
