BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device for executing registration processing based on product data read from a bar code.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional product sales data processing device such as a checkout counter has a bar code reading means such as a stationary bar code scanner which reads a bar code formed on a product in advance and outputs the product data. The end portion of the slender soccer stand in which the registration processing means is formed by an electronic cash register or the like for performing registration processing based on the product data read by the bar code reading means, and the bar code reading means is arranged in the central portion. It has a structure in which the registration processing means is arranged.

Therefore, in the product sales data processing device having such a structure, for example, when a customer loads a shopping basket storing products requested to be purchased on the tip of a soccer table, a clerk stores the products taken out from the shopping basket. The bar code is read and scanned by the bar code reading means, and the product for which this read and scan has been completed is placed in a shopping bag or the like prepared in advance at the end of the soccer table. At this time, the merchandise data read and scanned from the bar code by the bar code reading means is sequentially transmitted to the registration processing means and registered, so that the clerk who reads and scans the bar codes of all the merchandise registers as described above. By ending the registration process by the processing means, the accounting process can be executed by calculating the total amount of money from the registered product data.

In the sales business using such a product sales data processing apparatus, one sales staff in which one store clerk concurrently operates the bar code reading means and the registration processing means as described above, There is a two-person sales business in which two store staff exclusively operate the barcode reading means and the registration processing means.

Here, in such a product sales data processing apparatus, the time required for the barcode reading operation by the barcode reading means is actually approximately proportional to the number of products, but the accounting operation by the registration processing means is performed. The time required for is almost constant. In recent years, since the number of products purchased by one customer at a time has increased, the time required for barcode reading work is generally increasing as compared with accounting work.

In other words, in such a product sales data processing device, when a two-person sales operation is carried out in which two store staff are exclusively operating the bar code reading means and the registration processing means, the two store staff need to operate. The work time is greatly different, and the overall work efficiency is reduced. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, a store clerk who operates the registration processing means appropriately supports the barcode reading work, or one registration processing means has two barcode reading means. Have been implemented.

Further, in such a merchandise sales data processing device, since the operation of reading the bar code is extremely simple and reliable, the customer is allowed to carry out this operation and the clerk only performs the accounting work in the registration processing means. It has also been implemented. By doing so, the work load on the store clerk can be reduced, and the number of bar code reading means can be increased with respect to one registration processing means.

[0008]

In the above-described product sales data processing apparatus, the registration processing means performs registration processing of the product data read by the bar code reading means, thereby efficiently supporting the sales business. ing.

Here, in such a merchandise sales data processing device, as described above, one registration processing means operated by a store clerk and several bar code reading means operated by another store clerk or a customer are combined. In addition, the work efficiency of sales operations can be improved. However, in this case, since one registration processing unit receives the product data output by several bar code reading units at the same time, the registration processing unit receives the received product data for each of several bar code reading units. It is necessary to classify and register, and a large-capacity storage device for temporarily storing the product data transmitted from each bar code reading means is required. In addition, it may be mistaken for which customer the result of one registration process is, and the smooth sales operation may be hindered.

Therefore, in the product sales data processing apparatus as described above, the number of bar code reading means can actually be increased to only about two with respect to one registration processing means. The improvement of work efficiency is hindered.

[0011]

A label issuing means for issuing a confirmation label indicating is provided.

[0013]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bar code formed on the product in advance is read by the bar code reading means and the product data corresponding to the bar code is output.
The product data output from the barcode reading means is recorded on the portable data recording medium by the data recording means, and the product data recorded on the data recording medium is sequentially read by the data reading means. Registration processing is performed by the registration processing means based on the read product data. Therefore, the merchandise data read by the barcode reading means is not directly transmitted to the registration processing means, but is once recorded on the data recording medium, and the data recording medium is taken out from the barcode reading means side to the registration processing means side. By setting, the registration processing in the registration processing means is performed based on the product data recorded on the data recording medium. Therefore, even if several bar code reading means are provided for one registration processing means, the registration processing means temporarily stores the product data output from each bar code reading means. A large-capacity storage device is unnecessary. Further, since the registration process is performed based on the product data recorded in the data recording medium carried by each customer, it is possible to avoid making a mistake as to which customer the result of one registration process is.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the confirmation label is issued by the label issuing means after the recording operation of the data recording means is completed, by attaching the confirmation label to the commodity, the commodity is recorded by the data recording means. It can be easily confirmed that the data is recorded on the data recording medium. Therefore, the sales business of the method of having each customer read the barcode can be smoothly achieved.

The registration processing means for executing registration processing based on the product data read by the data reading means of the card reader 30 is the electronic cash. It is formed of the control block 39 of the register 9, the RAM 37, and the like.

With such a configuration, in the store 2 using the checkout system 1, the customer 42 receives the shopping basket 14 and the magnetic card 41 when entering the store 2 through the entrance 3, and receives the magnetic card 41. The product 43 desired to be purchased is taken out of the display shelf 5 and carried into the shopping basket 14 while being carried. Therefore, in this way, the customer 42 sequentially puts various desired commodities 43 into the shopping basket 14 and transfers them. Here, before the commodities 43 are transferred to the accounting section 7 and the accounting work is executed. The customer 42 reads and scans the bar code 44 of the product 43 by the data input / output device 6 at a predetermined position and records it on the magnetic card 41.

Therefore, the processing operation of the data input / output device 6 will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, the control block 25 of the data input / output device 6
Normally, a magnetic card 41 for the card reader / writer 19
The customer 42 first inserts the magnetic card 41 into the card reader / writer 19 because it is waiting for the insertion. Then, the control block 25 that detects this insertion
Reads the identification data of the magnetic card 41 by the card reader / writer 19 and temporarily stores it in the RAM 24. If the product data is magnetically recorded in advance on the magnetic card 41, this is also read by the card reader / writer 19 and the RAM 2 is read.
Temporarily store at 4.

Then, the control block 25 of the data input / output device 6 which has completed the above processing operation stands by in preparation for the scanning of the bar code 44 by the bar code scanner 16. The barcode 44 of 43 is read and scanned by the barcode scanner 16. Therefore, when the bar code scanner 16 reads and scans the bar code 44 and outputs the product data, the control block 25 which detects this output, the product name and the product unit price of the product data of this time read and scanned by the bar code scanner 16. Are transmitted to the display 18 and the RAM 2
The total amount of money and the total number of all the product data temporarily stored in 4 are calculated and transmitted to the display 18. Therefore,
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the display 18 outputs and displays the product name, the unit price of the product, and the accumulated amount / number of pieces. The control block 25 that has finished the display output prepares for the operation input to the operation panel 17. Will be waiting.

Therefore, when the customer 42 who visually recognizes the display image on the display 18 selects whether or not to purchase the product and inputs one of the confirmation key 21 and the cancel key 22 on the operation panel 17, the cancel key 22 is pressed. The control block 25 that has detected the operation input returns to the standby state in preparation for the reading and scanning of the bar code scanner 16, and the control block 25 that has detected the operation input of the confirmation key 21 uses the product data of this time with the card reader / writer 19 for the magnetic card. 41 magnetically recorded. Then, the control block 25 that has completed this magnetic recording issues a confirmation label 45 on which the product data (product name and product unit price) of this time is printed by the label printer 20, and the card reader / writer 19 ejects the magnetic card 41. To return to the initial state.

Therefore, the customer 42 uses the confirmation label 45 issued by the label printer 20 of the data input / output device 6 for the product 4
3, the magnetic card 41 discharged by the card reader / writer 19 is carried, and for example, the barcode 44 of the next product 43 is read. Then, the customer 42 who finishes reading the barcode 44 for all the commodities 43 requested to be purchased in this way,
As illustrated in FIG. 7, the shopping cart 14 is moved to the accounting section 7 of the store 2, the shopping basket 14 is placed on the soccer table 8, and the magnetic card 41 is placed.
Will be handed over to the clerk 46. Then this clerk 46
Inserts the magnetic card 41 into the card reader 30 of the electronic cash register 9 to execute the registration process, and at the same time, sequentially takes out the products 43 from the shopping basket 14 and individually confirms the sticking of the confirmation label 45, and then in advance. It will be put in the prepared shopping bag 47.

Therefore, the processing operation of the registration processing executed by the electronic cash register 9 as described above will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG. First, the control block 39 of the electronic cash register 9
Normally waits for the insertion of the magnetic card 41 into the card reader 30, so when the store clerk 46 inserts the magnetic card 41 into the card reader 30, the control block 39 that detects this insertion detects that the card reader 30 is magnetic. The product data of the card 41 is sequentially read to inspect for errors. Therefore, when this data error is detected, the content of the error is displayed and output on the display 33 to stand by for the operation input of data correction. Therefore, the clerk 46 visually recognizing this display operation inputs the operation of the keyboard 31. Will fix the data error.

The product data in which the error is corrected as described above or the product data in which no error exists is R.
After being temporarily stored in the AM 37, the control block 39 of the electronic cash register 9 that has completed such processing operation executes the registration processing by calculating the cumulative amount of the product data in the RAM 37. . And
The registration processing means that executes the registration processing in this manner displays the various data generated on the displays 32, 33 and R
Since the / J printer 34 outputs the data by printing, and the initial state is restored, the customer 42 and the store clerk 46 who visually recognize the display contents of the displays 32 and 33 perform the accounting work by exchanging money.

That is, in the checkout system 1, the customer 42 reads and scans the product data formed by the bar code 44 on the product 43 by the bar code scanner 16 of the data input / output device 6 and the magnetic card by the card writer 13. Four
1, the merchandise data recorded on the magnetic card 41 is read by the clerk 46 by the card reader 30 of the electronic cash register 9 and registered by the registration processing means.

By doing so, in this checkout system 1, each customer 42 performs the reading and scanning of the product data, which takes a lot of time, by the data input / output device 6 installed in each place of the store 2. The overall processing time can be shortened and the work efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, in this checkout system 1, one customer 4
The product data of the product 43 purchased by 2 is recorded in one magnetic card 41, and the electronic cash register 9 executes the registration process with the product data read from this magnetic card 41. It is not necessary to classify the product data of the human customer 42 and execute the registration process, and the registration process and the accounting work can be surely executed.

In other words, in this checkout system 1, a very large number of customers 42 can surely register the product data recorded on the magnetic card 41 by the large number of data input / output devices 6 with one electronic cash register 9. Therefore, the work efficiency can be extremely improved by increasing the number of the data input / output devices 6 installed with respect to the electronic cash register 9.

In the checkout system 1, the data input / output device 6 records the read and scanned product data on the magnetic card 41 and then issues the confirmation label 45 on which the product name and the unit price of the product are printed. Since the confirmation label 45 is attached to each product, even if an attempt is made to attach a confirmation label 45 issued when a low-priced product is read to a high-priced product, the accounting section 7
In this case, the clerk cannot see the correspondence between the product and the confirmation label 45 attached to the product so that the fraudulent execution cannot be performed.

In the checkout system 1 of the present embodiment, the data recording medium is used as the magnetic card 41 and the card issuing device 4 issues the data to the customer 42, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. However, it is also possible to use an IC (Integrated Circuit) card (not shown) that a customer normally carries as such a recording medium.

Further, in this embodiment, one product 4
Each time you read the barcode 44 of 3, one confirmation label 4
Although the case of issuing 5 is described as an example, the number of confirmation labels 45 corresponding to the products 43 may be issued after the barcodes 44 of the plurality of products 43 are continuously read. .

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13. The same parts as those described in FIGS. 1 to 10 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, several data input / output devices 48 for reading the bar code 44 of the product 43 are provided for one electronic cash register 9 for executing the registration process, and the bar code 44 by these data input / output devices 48 is provided. Is applied to the sales business of the system in which the salesclerks read.

First, FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the entire structure of the data input / output device 48 which is operated by a store clerk to read the bar code 44. Like the data input / output device 6 shown in FIG. Bar code scanner 16, display 1

First, when a customer who puts the product 43 to be purchased into the shopping basket 14 comes in front of the data input / output device 48 in the accounting section 7, the clerk in charge of operating the data input / output device 48 has the data at hand. A magnetic card (not shown) as a recording medium is inserted into the card reader / writer 19.

Here, the data input / output device 48 stands by in preparation for the insertion of the magnetic card, and when the magnetic card is inserted, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality in the magnetic card. When there is an abnormality, the display 18 displays "abnormality" and the magnetic card is ejected. When the magnetic card is ejected in this way, the store clerk inserts another magnetic card again. On the other hand, when there is no abnormality in the magnetic card, the bar code scanner 16 waits for the bar code 44 to be read. When the bar code 44 is read, the bar code 44 is read based on the read bar code 44. The content of the product data is inquired to the file processor, the product data obtained from the file processor is displayed on the display 18, and the displayed product data is saved in a file formed in the RAM 24.

Next, when the barcode 44 is not read by the barcode scanner 16, it is determined whether or not the cancel key of the keyboard 49 has been pressed. When the cancel key is pressed, the latest saved product data is erased from the file, and the bar code scanner 16 waits for the bar code 44 to be read. On the other hand, if the cancel key is not pressed, it is determined whether the end key of the keyboard 49 has been pressed.

If the end key is not pressed, the bar code scanner 16 waits for the bar code 44 to be read. On the other hand, when the reading of the bar code 44 is completed for all the products 43 to be purchased and the end key is pressed, the product data saved in the file is recorded on the magnetic card, and the magnetic card is read. Discharge.

The magnetic card thus ejected is handed to the customer by the clerk operating the data input / output device 48, and the customer gives the magnetic card and the shopping cart 14 to the customer.
