Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an electronic cash register processing device, and particularly to an electronic cash register processing device, in which each individual has his or her own drawer assigned to the cashier, and each cashier is transferred to another slave POS. The master POS collects the hard totals that the slave POS remembers, and after finishing its assigned work, bring your own drawer to the master POS installation location and register the denomination. This invention relates to an electronic cash registration processing device in which check of the amount, such as discrepancy between the total amount and the reported amount, is processed instantly on the master POS side.

(Background of the invention and problems) Conventionally, in a POS using an electronic register, as shown in FIG.
-N are fixedly arranged, and customer transactions are performed without moving the drawers 53-1 to 53-N to other slave POS from the start to the end of the day's business. Then, at the end of the day's work, each drawer 53-1 to 53-
The denomination is registered for each slave POS, and a so-called cash balance report is performed for each slave POS, which compares the cash balance with the total cash balance compiled by the corresponding slave POS and calculates the discrepancy. Ta. Note that 51 is a master POS that manages each slave POS.

On the other hand, cashiers who deposit and withdraw cash do not handle customer transactions at a fixed slave POS all day long, but can be moved around the floor or store depending on the level of congestion during business hours. , effective and proper placement of the cache has been performed. Therefore, it is normal for each slave POS to have multiple cashiers conducting customer transactions. Under these conditions, when reporting the amount at the end of the day, if there is a discrepancy between the final delivery amount in the drawer and the total amount in stock, it is necessary to perform the operation that causes it. One drawback was that it was not immediately clear which cashier was in charge. Therefore, it takes time to inspect the journal paper and produce the inspection results, and all the cashiers who operated with the slave POS cannot be cleared of suspicion, which is a drawback that may hinder the cashier's motivation to work. It was hot.

(Objective and Structure of the Invention) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose of the present invention is to allocate a self-dedicated drawer to each cacher so that the cashier can communicate between slave POS by having its own drawer. Even if the cashier moves, it will be possible to make payments for each cashier, and each time the cashier moves the slave POS, the master POS will collect the hard totals that the slave POS remembers, and the totals will be compiled for each cashier. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash registration processing device that can immediately perform a process of calculating the difference between the reported amount and the total amount of cash for a cashier whose denomination has been registered from a master POS. For this reason, the electronic cash registration processing device of the present invention is equipped with a plurality of slave devices for registering sales, and is equipped with a master device that manages these slave devices.

It has the function of adding the hard total of the old cache and storing the data of the addition result.

An example of operation of a slave POS equipped with such functions will be explained using FIG. 2.

In FIG. 2, for example #1 among multiple cash registers.
Cash register 26-1, #2 cash register 26-2, #3 cash register 26
-3 describes the cashier in charge of each slave POS. Here, cash register is slave POS
Say where it is set. Before the store opens, each slave POS installed at each cash register does not have a drawer set, for example, and cashiers A, B, C, and D each have their own drawer and are in charge of the cashiers assigned to them before the store opens. Go to the cash register and set your own drawer on the slave POS.
For example, in the case of full-time cashier A, before the store opens, cashier A goes to the #1 cash register 26-1 with his own drawer and sets his own drawer in the slave POS of the #1 cash register 26-1. At time T ₀ , the slave POS opens and begins transactions with customers. At time _T1 , in order to change the position of the cashier in charge, a cashier change operation is performed and the cashier is replaced with cashier B. When the above cashier replacement operation is performed, the slave of #1 cash register 26-1
A hardware total transfer message is sent from POS to master POS1. Cashier A pulls out its own drawer from the slave POS of #1 cash register 26-1. Then, move to #2 cash register 26-2 with your own drawer and set the drawer to the slave POS there. After cache A performs a cache replacement operation, it starts checkout. At time T ₃ , after performing the cache replacement operation,
Replaces with cashier D. When this cashier replacement operation is performed, a hard total transfer message is also transmitted from the slave POS of #2 cash register 26-2 to master POS 1. Cashier A pulls out his own drawer from the slave POS of #2 cash register 26-2, holds his own drawer, and transfers it to #3 cash register 26-3.
Move to. Then, set your own drawer on the slave POS, perform the cache swap operation, and start checkout. At time T ₄ , the day's assigned duties are completed, and the cashier replacement operation is performed. At this time as well, a hardware total transfer message is sent from the slave POS of the #3 register 26-3 to the master POS1. Cashier A pulls out its own drawer from the slave POS of the #3 cash register 26-3, and transfers it to the master with its own drawer in order to make payments for each cashier.
Move to POS1 and perform denomination registration from master POS1. When the denomination registration operation is performed from the master POS 1, a cashier-specific settlement report as shown in FIG. 5 is output, so that it is possible to know whether or not there has been a miscalculation for the work that one has performed.

Regarding dedicated cashier B, before the store opens, cashier B goes to the #2 cash register 26-2 with his own drawer and sets his own drawer in the slave POS of the #2 cash register 26-2. At time T ₀ , the slave POS opens and begins transactions with customers. At time _T1 , the cache is replaced with cache A after performing a cache replacement operation. When the above cashier replacement operation is performed, #2 cash register 26-2
A hard total transfer message is sent from slave POS to master POS1. Cashier B makes his drawer the slave of #2 cashier 26-2.
Removed from POS and replaced with #1 cash register 26-1
Move to with your own drawer. Then, a drawer is set in the #1 cash register 26-1 and the slave POS, a cashier change operation is performed, and checkout is started. At time _T2 , the cache is replaced with cache C after performing a cache replacement operation. When this cache replacement operation is performed, a hardware total transfer message is also transmitted from the slave POS of the #1 cash register 26-1 to the master POS 1. Cashier B pulls out its own drawer from the slave POS of #1 cash register 26-1. Cashier B, who has completed his/her assigned work, takes his/her own drawer and moves to master POS 1, performs denomination manipulation, and outputs a cashier-specific settlement report for the assigned task. And leave the company.

Note that the cash registers are replaced in exactly the same manner for the other cashiers C and D.

The cashier who has completed his/her duties for the day goes to master POS 1 and registers the denomination, that is, settles the final delivery amount in his/her own drawer. This denomination registration is performed, for example, by the operation sequence shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, the cashier inputs the transaction type 27 and the unique cashier number 28 assigned to him/her. Next, the denomination type 2 that exists in your drawer
9. Register. The denominations are broadly divided into cash, gift certificates such as book coupons issued in units of fixed amounts, and checks and credits of unspecified amounts. In the case of cash, enter the preset number of the voucher type and its number using the numeric keys, register the voucher type and quantity, and calculate and register the amount 30 corresponding to each voucher type. do. For gift certificates issued in fixed amounts, enter the preset number and number of gift certificates using the numeric keys.
The name of the gift certificate and its quantity are registered, and the amount 31 thereof is calculated and registered. For checks, credits, etc. of undetermined amount, enter the preset check/credit number, number, and amount using the numeric keys, register the name of the check, credit, etc. and the number, and calculate the total. Calculate and register the amount 32. The subtotal or grand total is calculated and registered by using the subtotal 33 key for each total of cash, gift certificates, checks, etc., and by using the total 34 key for the total total.

Figure 5 shows an example of denomination registration.
An example of a cashier-specific settlement report output by POS is shown. In the figure, No. 02 in the upper column represents the person whose cashier number is 2, numbers 1 to 9 on the left end are the denomination registration for cash, and number 10 represents the person with the cashier number 2.
indicates that there are 8 checks and the total is ``89,000'' yen. The subtotal of cash and checks is 808,300 yen, indicating that the person with cashier number 02 had this amount of cash and checks in his or her drawer. Number 11 on the left
25 indicates sales in gift certificates or credits, and the subtotal is 211,700 yen. When a total of 34 keys are pressed as explained in FIG. 3, the final delivery amount of 1,020,000 yen is calculated and registered. This final delivery amount is the amount that existed in the drawer of the person with cashier number 02. For example, if the person with cashier number 02 is in cashier A shown in Figure 2, #1
This is the amount remaining in the drawer of the customer who made the customer transaction at the cash register 26-1, #2 cash register 26-2, and #3 cash register 26-3.

Next, the method of data aggregation processing of the electronic cash registration processing device of the present invention will be explained using FIG.

In the slave POS 13, transactions with customers are carried out via the transaction input means 23, and the sales amount, which is called hard total by cashier, is always
Each item such as transaction amount, deposit amount, withdrawal amount, number of customers, time (working hours), etc. is accumulated through the cashier-specific hard total calculation means 19, and is stored for one person in the cashier-specific hardware total tally memory 20. It is designed to be stored in area 20-1. Here, the deposit amount is the amount prepared for change and the like and deposited into the drawer, and the withdrawal amount is the amount collected from the drawer during the course of business.

When the cashier replacement time comes, the cashier is replaced, and the cashier replacement input means 21 performs the cashier replacement operation. The hard total of the cache stored in the storage area 20-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 20 for each cache due to this cache replacement operation,
The CPU 14 adds up the accumulated hard totals for each item, stored in the other storage area 20-2 of the cache-specific hard total total memory 20, and adds up the newly added accumulated hard totals for each item. If the data is cached on hard
Other storage area 20-2 of total tally memory 20
is stored in

Further, when a cache change operation is performed, the hard total stored in the storage area 20-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 20 for each cache is changed into a format and code suitable for transmission by the total data message editing means 18. Furthermore, the assigned number of the slave POS 13 and the old and new cache numbers of the replaced cache are added and transmitted to the master POS 1 via the transmitting means 15.
Master the hard total of this old cache.
When the transmission to the POS 1 is completed, the hard total clearing means 25 for each cache operates, clearing the storage area 20-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 20 for each cache to zero, and preparing to accept the new cache. At the same time, time measuring means 24
will begin measuring the working hours of new cashiers. The new cashier conducts transactions with the customer via transaction input means 23.

On the other hand, by changing the cache, the slave POS
The message sent from 13 is master POS1
The data is received by the receiving means 4 and converted into data in a computable format by the received message reverse editing/storage means 9, and then each piece of hardware total data is stored once in the total data primary storage memory 5. . Since the hard total data has the cache number of the hard total, that is, the assigned number of the old cache, sent to the master POS 1 at the same time, the CPU 2 stores the total data in the secondary storage memory 11.
The data of each item of the hard total that has been accumulated up to that point for the old cache is read from. Then, the hard total data stored in the aggregated data primary storage memory 5 is
The CPU 2 reads out and adds and totals both data for each corresponding item. This aggregated data is stored at a predetermined address in the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 via the aggregated data saving means 10. Then, the total data primary storage memory clearing means/inspection request message editing means 6 clears the contents of the total data primary storage memory 5 to zero, and prepares for the next reception. The cache is replaced in each slave POS 13, and the process described above is repeated each time a cache replacement operation is performed. Therefore, the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 stores cumulatively aggregated hard total data of each cacher that moves between each slave POS 13.

After completing the day's work, for example, cashier A, after performing the cashier replacement operation at time _T4 , the cashier goes to the installation location of POS1 to perform cashier-specific settlement, and from there registers the denomination explained in Figure 3. conduct. When the denomination is registered and the total 34 key is pressed, the denomination registration total calculation/excess/deficiency calculation means 12 calculates the data of the final delivery amount and the cash A that has already been cumulatively totaled in the total data secondary storage memory 11. #1 cash register 26-1, #2 cash register 26-
Of the hard totals at 2 and #3 cash registers 26-3, the data on sales, deposits, and withdrawals are
The CPU 2 reads out the information, and calculates the cash register total = sales amount + deposit amount - withdrawal amount, and calculates the excess/deficit amount = final delivery amount - cash register total. These data on the register total, surplus/deficiency amount, and final delivery amount are stored at a predetermined address in the total data secondary storage memory 11 via the total data saving means 10. The above-mentioned cash register total, surplus/deficiency amount, final delivery amount data, and cumulative total hard total data for each item stored in the secondary storage memory 11 are read out, and the total data is printed and edited. - The output means 7 outputs each item from the register total to the time in the bottom column of the cashier-by-cash settlement sheet diagram shown in FIG. This allows Cashier A to immediately know if there are any surpluses or deficiencies in the work he is responsible for. Note that the column up to the final delivery amount in the cashier-by-cash settlement sheet shown in FIG. 5 is output at the same time as the denomination is registered.

Similarly, when other cashiers finish their assigned tasks, they can use their own drawers to access the master POS1.
When you go to the location where the cashier is installed and report the cash balance, the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 has already stored the accumulated hard total data for the cashier, and from this data and the final delivery amount, the master POS1 Calculate the difference and output the cashier-by-cashier settlement sheet shown in FIG.

Calculation by cashier is performed in this way, but when the calculation by cashier is completed for all cashiers, the contents of the hardware total tally memory 20 for each cashier provided in each slave POS 13 are cleared to zero, and each cash register is cleared to zero. Closed. Note that if there is a cashier for which cashier-by-cashier settlement has not been completed, the cashier-by-cashier hardware total tally memory 20 will not be cleared.
This is because each cashier has a flag indicating whether the cash register payment has been completed or not, and the hard total total memory 20 for each cashier is cleared only when all the flags are set.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, the difference for each cashier can be calculated without waiting for the daily total, making cash management easier and eliminating unnecessary anxiety among cashiers. . Also a slave
The hard total memory for each cache provided in the POS can be reduced to the storage area for one person, reducing the memory capacity.
