BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At stores in Japan that sell products, some customers pay the price using foreign currencies. For this purpose, we prepared a table that stores information about currencies of each country, provided multiple foreign currency selection keys for selecting foreign currencies on the keyboard, and after the total amount was calculated, the foreign currency deposited by the customer There is a merchandise sales registration device such as a cash register or a POS terminal which is operated by operating a corresponding foreign currency selection key according to a conversion rate between the foreign currency and the home currency.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In recent years, many people have entered from various foreign countries, and the types of foreign currencies to be dealt with have increased accordingly. Therefore, the number of foreign currency selection keys also increases. However, a large number of foreign currency selection keys must be arranged on the keyboard, which causes a problem that the keyboard becomes large and the operability of the keyboard deteriorates.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a commodity sales registration apparatus for registering sales of a corresponding commodity based on commodity data input by a keyboard or a scanner, and at least names of foreign currencies and their foreign currencies and their own country. Of the media table that stores the conversion rate with the currency, the foreign currency display key that displays the name of the foreign currency stored in this media table on the display, and the foreign currency that is displayed by this foreign currency display key A foreign currency selecting means for selecting an arbitrary foreign currency and a settlement processing means for performing settlement according to the conversion rate of the foreign currency selected by the foreign currency selecting means are provided.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the POS terminal 1. That is, a keyboard 3, a printer 4 and a display 5 which is a display unit are arranged on the upper part of the terminal body 2, and a drawer 6 is arranged on the lower part of the terminal body 2. The terminal body 2 includes a power key 7 and a hard disk 8 for accessing program data. The keyboard 3 includes a numeral key 9 for inputting a number such as a sales amount and a function key 10 which can be freely set.
It is equipped with control keys and mode keys for selecting various operations such as power on / off, registration, settlement, setting, and inspection.

4 and a RAM 15 for storing variable data such as sales amount and sales points of each product input from the keyboard 3 are connected and provided on a bus line. The CPU
A keyboard control circuit 16 that controls the keyboard 3, a printer control circuit 17 that controls the printer 4, and a display control circuit 18 that controls the displays 5 and 6 are connected to 13.

The hard disk 8 or the R
The AM 15 has a media table 19 shown in FIG.
And a key table 20 shown in FIG. 3B are stored. In the media table 19, names of foreign currencies (DESCRIPTION), rates of those foreign currencies (EXCHANGE)
RATE) is stored and the maximum change (Valu
e Max Change), devaluation of currency (By DENOMINATIO
N), information about permission of return (REFUNDABLE) and other information are stored. The code, name, and
The unit price and the like are also stored in the hard disk 8 or the RAM 15.

The key table 20 is for associating the hardware key number of the keyboard 3 with the function key number used in the application. The function key number is set in the key table 20, and the set function is set. The foreign currency display key 12 is specified by attaching a key cap having the meaning of "foreign currency display key" to the key on the keyboard 3 corresponding to the hardware key number corresponding to the key number.

In such a configuration, sales registration is performed by inputting data from the keyboard 3, and the total amount of money is calculated. The operations up to this point are omitted from the description of known operations performed conventionally, and the subsequent processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the deposited currency is a domestic currency, the foreign currency display key 12 is not pressed, and in this case, the normal settlement process is executed. When the deposited currency is a foreign currency, when the operator presses the foreign currency display key 12, the foreign currency settlement mode is set, the data of the media table 19 is read, and the name of the foreign currency is displayed on the display 5.
After that, the name of the corresponding foreign currency is selected by the foreign currency selection means. As a selection method, for example, a number is assigned to a foreign currency name and displayed on the display 5,
There is a method of designating the numeral with the ten keys on the keyboard 3. As another method, the cursor key of the keyboard 3 is operated to move the cursor to the portion where the name of the desired foreign currency is displayed on the display 5, and the enter key is input to specify the foreign currency.
