BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device such as a single electronic cash register or a product sales data registration terminal of a POS (point of sale information management) system, a so-called POS terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a POS terminal is equipped with an internal or external storage device with a single item file in which a unit price, a product name, etc. are preset for each individual product code attached to each product, and a bar code is attached to each product. It is equipped with a scanner that optically reads a single code printed or affixed in the form of.

However, when the individual product code of the sale product is input by the reading operation of the scanner, the single product file is searched to display the unit price and the product name corresponding to the input single product code on the readout display, and the unit price is also displayed. The single item sales data of the sale product is acquired and registered in the storage unit.

Further, this POS terminal is provided with a key for confirming a set unit price called a confirmation key and a key for changing a unit price called an open key on the keyboard, and it is possible to confirm the unit price set in the single item file. It was possible to register sales at a unit price other than the set price.

By the way, the confirmation work of the set unit price has hitherto been performed.
After inputting the confirmation key, read the unit code of the product for which the unit price needs to be confirmed with a scanner and input. Then,
Since the unit price and the product name corresponding to the input single product code are read from the single product file and displayed on the display unit, the operator can confirm the set unit price.

Further, in the sales registration work at a unit price other than the set unit price, conventionally, after inputting an open key, a unit code of a product requiring a unit price change is read and inputted by a scanner,
Then, after inputting the changed unit price with the numeric key, the amount key is keyed in. By doing so, the single item sales data of the product for which the single item code is input with the registered unit price is registered.

[0007]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional POS of this type
At the terminal, for example, when registering sales of a discounted product and uncertain whether the unit price data corresponding to the corresponding product in the single product file has been changed to the unit price after the discount, the cashier first confirms with the confirmation key. Input and read the barcode of the relevant product with a scanner,
Check the unit price data corresponding to the corresponding product in the single product file. When the unit price data is the unit price after the discount, the scanner again reads the barcode of the corresponding product.
By doing so, the sales data of the corresponding product is registered for sales based on the set unit price of the single product file.

However, when the unit price data is the unit price before the discount, it is necessary to change the unit price. Therefore, the cashier inputs the open key and reads the bar code of the corresponding product again with the scanner, and then the changed price. There has been a demand for a complicated operation in which the unit price is entered with the number key and then the amount key is keyed in.

Therefore, according to the present invention, after confirming the unit price data of the corresponding product set in the single unit file, the sales registration process at a unit price different from the unit price data can be simplified and the operability is improved. The present invention intends to provide a commodity sales data processing device capable of achieving the following.

As shown in FIG. 4, the single-item file 40 is configured to store a plurality of single-item records including data of a single-item code, a link department code, a name, a unit price, sales points, and sales amounts. When a single item record of each product is received via the, the single item record is programmed to the single item file 40.

However, when the CPU 11 detects the key input of the confirmation / change key 3g by the key signal input from the keyboard controller 17, it is program-controlled to execute the confirmation / change key processing shown in FIG. There is.

That is, first, in step ST1, the business mode selected by the signal from the mode switch 2 is determined. When a business mode other than the "registration" mode is selected, the key input of the confirmation / change key 3g causes an error.

When the "registration" mode is selected by the mode switch 2, it waits for the input of the single product code in ST2. Here, the scanner interface 2
When the bar code data read by the touch scanner 8 is input via 0 and it is confirmed that the bar code data is the bar code data of the single product code attached to the product, it corresponds to the bar code data in ST3. The single item code is referred to the single item table 40, and the item name, unit price, etc. corresponding to the single item code are read out and displayed on the cashier display 4. (Confirmation unit price display control means) Next, S
It waits for a key input from the keyboard 3 at T4. Here, when a key input other than a combination input of the numeric key 3a and the amount key 3e or a single input of the amount key 3e is detected, this confirmation / change key process is terminated and another process is started.

When the key input of the amount key 3e is detected in ST4, it is determined in ST5 whether or not the numerical data is input by the numeral key 3a immediately before the key input of the amount key 3e. Then, when the numerical data is input by the numeric keypad 3a, the sales registration is instructed at a unit price other than the set unit price for the product whose product name or the like is displayed on the display unit 4, so at ST6. The product sales data in which the unit price of the product is the unit price of the product and the sales amount is “1” and the sales amount is the unit price, and the product sales data is the sales number area and the sales amount area corresponding to the corresponding unit code of the unit file 40. Process cumulatively. In step ST7, the product sales data is displayed on the displays 4 and 5, and the printer 7 prints the receipt or the like. (Change Unit Price Registering Means) Next, in ST8, the system waits for a key input from the keyboard 3. When a key input other than the money amount key 3e is detected, this confirmation / change key processing is ended and another processing is started. When the key input of the money amount key 3e is detected in ST8, the process returns to ST6, and the single product sales registration process and the product sales data display / print process are repeatedly executed.

When the key input of the money amount key 3g is detected in ST4 and the numerical data is not input by the numeral key 3a in ST5, the set unit price is set for the product whose product name or the like is displayed on the display 4. I was instructed to register for sale at
In ST9, the unit price read out from the single item file 40 and displayed on the display unit 4 is set as the unit price of the product, and the number of sales points =
The product sales data of “1”, sales amount = unit price is acquired, and the product sales data is cumulatively processed in the sales point area and the sales amount area corresponding to the corresponding single product code of the single product file 40. In step ST10, the product sales data is displayed on the displays 4 and 5 and the printer 7 prints the receipt or the like. (Setting unit price registration means) Next, S
It waits for a key input from the keyboard 3 at T11. When a key input other than the amount key 3e is detected,
This confirmation / change key processing is ended, and another processing is started. S
When the key input of the amount key 3e is detected at T11, S
Returning to the processing of T9, the single product sales registration process and the product sales data display / print process for the same product are repeatedly executed.

In the present embodiment having such a configuration, for example, there is sales of a product whose unit price is temporarily changed by a discount service or the like depending on a time zone, and whether the changed unit price is set in the single item file 40. When confirming whether or not to confirm, the cashier first inputs the confirmation / change key 3g and then reads the bar code of the corresponding product with the touch scanner 8.

Then, the unit price of the corresponding product set in the single item file 40 is read out and displayed on the cashier display unit 4, so that the cashier is the single item file 40.
You can check the unit price of the corresponding product set in.

If the set unit price displayed on the display unit 4 is the unit price after the change and the sales can be registered as it is, the cashier independently inputs the amount key 3e. Then, the set unit price data becomes the sales amount of the corresponding product, and is cumulatively processed in the sales number area and the sales amount area corresponding to the corresponding product of the single item file 40 together with the sales number = 1.

On the other hand, when the set unit price displayed on the display unit 4 is the unit price before the change and the sales registration cannot be performed as it is, the cashier enters the changed unit price with the number keys 3a. , Enter the amount key 3e. Then, the sales amount of the corresponding product is obtained by using the numerical data as the unit price data, and the number of sales = 1 and the single product file 4
Cumulative processing is performed in the sales number area and the sales amount area corresponding to 0 corresponding products.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the unit price data of the corresponding product set in the unit item file 40 is confirmed and the sales registration process is performed at a unit price different from the unit price data, the confirmation / change key After inputting the unit price of 3g with the touch scanner 8 and confirming the set unit price, enter the changed unit price with the number keys 3a and then the amount key 3e. Since this is sufficient, the operation of inputting the single code with the touch scanner 8 is omitted once compared with the conventional case, and the operability can be improved.

The present invention is not limited to the touch scanner 8 as a single-piece code input means, but may be another bar code reading device, an optical character reading device, or the like. Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to an electronic cash register of the type in which a single-piece code is entered by a numeric key of the keyboard.

Besides, it is needless to say that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
