【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a circuit configuration of an electronic cash register of the present invention. (1) is a control circuit composed of a microprocessor, and a program of a program memory (2) in which a processing program is stored in advance. It controls the whole according to. Reference numeral (3) is a keyboard composed of a plurality of key switches such as a numeric key, a commodity division key and a transaction key, which is connected to the control circuit (1) via a signal bus (4). Reference numeral (5) is a data memory for storing data input from the keyboard (3) or data processed by the control circuit (1), etc., and relates to each key of the keyboard (3) as shown in FIG. It is composed of an area (5A) for storing data, a buffer area (5B) for temporarily storing input data, and an area (5C) for storing other data. The area (5A) is an area (5D) for storing a key name, an area (5E) for storing a product name, an area (5F) for storing a unit price, and an area (5G) for storing whether or not a single item is stored. It is composed of an area (5H) for storing cumulative sales. In the area (5G), in the case of a single item, data of "1" is set, and otherwise, "0" is set.

(6) is a registration memory for storing registration data for each customer, and is composed of a plurality of memory blocks (M ₁ ) to (M _N ) as shown in FIG. It is configured to store customer order data and manages which memory block is used by the code number corresponding to the customer. Reference numeral (7) is a display for displaying data input from the keyboard (3) or data processed by the control circuit (1). (8) is a printing device for printing the data input from the keyboard (3) or the data processed by the control circuit (1). (9) is a key switch to which the store clerk identification key that each store clerk has is attached, and supplies the key signal corresponding to the attached key to the control circuit (1), which is supplied by the control circuit (1). The operating staff is identified based on the signal, and sales are totaled for each staff.

Next, the operation of the present invention having such a configuration will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, prior to use, predetermined data is input and stored in the areas (5E) to (5G) of the data memory (5) corresponding to the commodity department keys. It is now assumed that the data is set as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the clerk receives the customer's order and performs registration, the clerk first attaches the clerk identification key to the key switch (9) in step (S1), and then the code number assigned to the customer in the keyboard (3) in step (S2). ) Key and then the TRACK key that indicates that the data entered in step (S3) is a code number. As a result, the control circuit (1) which has detected the input of the code number proceeds to step (S4) to allocate the memory block of the registration memory (6), and then proceeds to step (S5) to detect the operation of the department key. To do. If the customer now orders "beer", the store clerk operates the department 1 key, so the control circuit (1) that detects the operation of the department key in step (S5) proceeds to step (S6) and the data memory The data is read from the corresponding area of (5) and the product name and unit price are displayed on the display (7). Then, in step (S7), the data in the area (5G) is checked to determine whether it is set as a single item. Since "1" is stored in the area (5G) corresponding to the department 1 key and the single item is set, the process proceeds to step (S8) and the sales amount of the sales amount is recorded in the area (5H) corresponding to the department 1 key. While adding, the details of the purchased product and the sales amount are added to, for example, the memory block (M ₁ ) designated by the code number “1000” of the registered memory (6). Subsequently, the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S10), supplies the data corresponding to the department 1 key of the data memory (5) to the printer (8), and prints the receipt as shown in FIG. . Do not give this receipt to the customer, but give it to the kitchen to inform them of the order details. Upon completion of printing the receipt, the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S11) to determine whether the clerk identification key is attached to the key switch (9). If the customer ordered one item, the clerk removes the clerk identification key from the key switch (9) immediately after operating the department 1 key, so the control circuit (1) proceeds from step (S11) to the next process. Proceed to.

When the same customer makes an additional order after a while, the clerk inputs the customer's code number “1000” in the same manner as described above, and then operates the department key of the product ordered by the customer. At the same time as the receipt is issued, the sales data is added to the memory block (M ₁ ) of the registered memory (6).

In the above description, the customer places an order for each item, but next, the case where the customer orders a plurality of items at once will be described. In this case as well, the clerk puts the clerk identification key on the key switch (9), inputs the customer's code number "2000", and then operates the department key corresponding to the ordered product, as described above. If the customer now orders “beer”, “wine”, and “whiskey”, the clerk first operates the department 1 key, so that the control circuit (1) operates the data memory (5) in the department 1 key in step (S6). After the data corresponding to the item is read out and displayed on the display (7), since it is a single item product, the process proceeds from step (S7) to step (S8) and another memory block of the registration memory (6) such as (M ₂ ) To register. Then, in step (S10), the printer (8) is controlled to issue a receipt as shown in FIG. 7 (a). Even after the receipt is issued, the clerk identification key is still attached to the key switch (9), and the control circuit (1) proceeds to step (S5) to detect that the department key is operated. Then, when the store clerk operates the department 2 key of the next product, the receipt is issued and the registration memory (6) is registered in the memory block (M ₂ ) in the same manner as shown in FIG. 7B. The operation of the department 3 key of the last product is performed in the same manner, and finally three receipts are issued as shown in FIG. When the store clerk finishes all the operations of the department key, he / she removes the store clerk identification key from the key switch (9), so that the control circuit (1) proceeds to the next process from step (S11). In this way, if the customer simultaneously orders items that are set to be a single item, the customer's code number need only be entered first.

Although the above description has been made for the case of registration of a single item product, when a product that is not set as a single item is ordered, the control circuit (1) causes the control circuit (1) to perform step (S9). Similarly, the process proceeds to step S9 to register in the registration memory (6) and set the single item prohibition flag. As a result, even if a product set as a single item is subsequently registered, it is ignored and normal registration is performed, and a receipt is not issued every time the product is registered. In this case, when the total key is operated at the end of registration, printing is performed collectively on one receipt.

Next, when the customer finishes the meal and pays, when the clerk inputs the customer's code number and then operates a key for instructing settlement, the control circuit (1) causes the registered memory corresponding to the code number. The contents of the memory block (6) are read out, the printing device (8) is controlled, and a receipt as shown in FIG. 8 is issued. Details of all products ordered by the customer are printed on this receipt. Further, since the control circuit (1) displays the total amount of sales on the display (7), the customer pays the amount and gives the receipt to the customer.
