Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an electronic cash register having a plurality of responsible persons keys and cumulatively storing respective selling data such as sales amount for each responsible person who operates.

[Prior Art] Generally, in an electronic cash register installed in a department store or a supermarket, a plurality of managers (cashiers) operate the electronic cash register. In such a sales floor, it is necessary to manage, for example, the daily sales amount for each person in charge, so in addition to the sales registration file that registers the sales data of each sold product in the electronic cash register, for example, by department code. A sales memory for each responsible person is provided for cumulatively registering sales data (sales amount) for each responsible person. Further, the keyboard is provided with a plurality of person-in-charge keys that are operated by the key for specifying the person in charge of actually executing the sales operation in this electronic cash register.

Then, each responsible person sets his / her responsible person code with the responsible person key and the numeral key before starting the sales operation in this electronic cash register. Then, when a normal sales registration operation is executed, the sales data of the sales product that has been key-input is registered in the above-mentioned sales registration file and is cumulatively recorded in the sales memory for each responsible person in which the responsible person code is set. Therefore, it is possible to manage sales data such as sales amount for each person in charge.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as described above, it is still necessary to solve even if there is an electronic cash register having a sales memory for each responsible person capable of cumulatively recording each sales data of a plurality of responsible persons. There were the following problems.

That is, in a department store or a supermarket, a plurality of electronic cash registers are used by a large number of managers (cashers), so that the number of managers who may use one electronic cash register is very large. However, the number of responsible keys that can be arranged in the keyboard of the electronic cash register is naturally limited due to the size of the keyboard, manufacturing costs, etc. Also, the number of responsible persons that can be set in the sales memory for each responsible person at the same time is equal to the number of responsible person keys.
Therefore, if the stored contents of the sales memory for each person in charge is once printed out and the stored contents of the sales memory for each person in charge are cleared and a new responsible person code is not set, the sales memory for each person in charge is responsible. A new responsible person who has not been set with a person code cannot use this electronic cash register. Therefore, the number of responsible persons in excess of the number of responsible person keys cannot normally carry out sales operations in this electronic cash register.

The present invention has been made based on such a situation, and an object thereof is to easily manage each business state and each sales record of a responsible person (cashier), which is more than the number of responsible person keys installed. It is to provide an electronic cash register.

[Means for Solving Problems] The electronic cash register of the present invention has a plurality of responsible persons keys for specifying a responsible person who actually operates among the plurality of responsible persons, and each responsible person key. A responsible key memory in which a responsible code storage area is formed,
Sales memory for each responsible person key in which a cumulative area of sales data is formed corresponding to each responsible person key, and sales data for each responsible person code assigned to a large number of responsible persons, which is larger than the number of each responsible person key Sales memory for each responsible person in which the cumulative area of is formed, and one of the responsible person codes of a large number of responsible persons is selected and set in the responsible person code area corresponding to each responsible person key of the responsible person key memory. When the sales data of the sale item is input through the input device in a state in which the responsible person code setting means to be operated and one of the responsible person keys is turned on and the responsible person who actually operates is specified, the responsible person key is input. Person in charge code detection means for detecting the person in charge code corresponding to the person in charge key operated from the memory, and sales data for each sales person for each person in charge corresponding to the person code detected by this detection means. Accumulation area and sales person-by-person key sales memory ON Sales data accumulation processing means for adding sales data to the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the operated person key, and settlement for selecting the settlement operation for each person key When one of the responsible person keys is designated when selecting the task selecting means and the settlement task by responsible person key by this selecting means, the responsible person code of the responsible person key memory corresponding to the designated responsible person key Stored content of area and responsible person key memory responsible person code area and responsible person of the stored person data output means for outputting the stored content of the sales data accumulation area of sales memory by key Area clearing means for clearing each sales data accumulation area of the key-by-key sales memory are provided.

[Operation] In the electronic cash register of the present invention configured as described above, a plurality of responsibilities corresponding to the number of responsible person key installations out of all responsible persons operating this electronic cash register before starting the sales registration business. Each responsible person code of the responsible person is set in the responsible person code area corresponding to each responsible person key of the responsible person key memory by the responsible person code setting means.

Then, one of a plurality of responsible persons having a responsible person code set in the responsible person key memory operates the electronic cash register to start the sales registration business. At this time, the responsible person turns on the responsible person key to which the responsible person code is set prior to starting the work. In this state, when the sales data of the sales product is input through the input device, the sales data is registered in the sales registration file provided in the storage unit, and the person in charge of the sales memory for each person in charge is in charge of the person in charge. The sales data is added to the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the code and the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the on-operated person key of the person-by-person key sales memory.

After that, in the case of replacing with another one of the multiple responsible persons whose responsible person code is set in the responsible person key memory, the responsible person who newly takes on the job has the responsible person key whose own responsible person code is set. Turn on to start sales registration. Then, the sales data is respectively stored in the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the responsible person code of the responsible person in the sales memory for each responsible person and the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the on-operated responsible person key of the sales memory for each responsible person key. The addition process is performed.

After that, if one of the multiple responsible persons who has the responsible person code set in the responsible person key memory replaces another responsible person who does not have the responsible person code set in the same memory, first, the responsible person key After selecting another settlement business, specify the responsible person key with the responsible person code of the person responsible for leaving the operation.
Then, the stored content of the responsible person code area of the responsible person key memory corresponding to the designated responsible person key and the stored content of the sales data accumulation area of the sale memory for each responsible person key are recorded on a recording paper (receipt paper or journal, for example) by a printer. After being printed out on a sheet of paper, the areas where the stored contents of both memories are output are cleared respectively. From the output contents at this time, the manager code of the manager who withdraws and the sales record in this sales registration work can be confirmed.

Next, the responsible person code setting means sets the responsible person code of a person who is newly employed in the work in the cleared responsible person code area of the responsible person key memory. After that, when this person in charge operates the corresponding person key to start the sales registration business, the sales data is the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the person in charge's person code of the person in charge sales memory and the person in charge. The sales data for each key is added to the sales data accumulation area corresponding to the operated key of the responsible person.

Accordingly, the sales memory for each responsible person stores and manages the sales results of more responsible persons than the number of responsible person keys installed.

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

The control keys 12 and 13 of various types are arranged.

Each of the person-in-charge keys 11a and 11b is a key-operated key for setting a person-in-charge (cashier) code for operating the electronic cash register in the storage unit before the start of sales operations. Can set four responsible person keys 1-4. FIG. 1 shows that the first responsible person key is set.

One control key 12 is also a key-operated control key for causing the control unit to execute each business mode such as [Setting], [Registration], [Inspection], [Settlement] in normal business, and the other. The control key 13 is a control key for printing out the cumulative sales amount for each person in charge, which is cumulatively stored in the later-described person-by-person sales memory formed in the storage unit.

FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of each display element in the display unit 3, which is composed of a numerical display element showing an 11-digit number and 11 ▽ -shaped tri-marks for displaying the operating state of this electronic cash register. It is configured.

FIG. 4 is a block configuration diagram of the electronic cash register, and reference numeral 15 in the figure is a CPU (central processing unit) that executes various arithmetic processing based on various key signals input from the keyboard 2. The CPU 15 includes a ROM 16 for storing fixed data such as a control program via a data bus, a RAM 17 for temporarily storing variable data such as sales data input by the keyboard 2, a printer 18 for printing out a registration result on a receipt, and a keyboard 2. , The drawer 5, the display units 3, 6 and the buzzer 19 which issues a warning when a key input operation is mistaken.

In the RAM 17, as shown in FIG. 5, sales data such as sales amount and sales points of sales products keyed with each registration key of the keyboard 2 are displayed, for example, by department code.
A sales registration file R1 to be registered by PLU code, transaction, etc., a registration flag indicating that this electronic cash register is in the process of sales registration for one customer, and key input is performed by the numeric keypad 7 of the keyboard 2. Number buffer for temporarily storing the numerical data, a work area R2 in which a totalizer for calculating the total amount for one customer, etc. is formed,

3. Responsible person name memory R4 that stores the responsible person name for each responsible person code of all responsible persons who use this electronic cash register, and four responsible persons set in the responsible person key memory R3 for each responsible person key A person-by-key sales memory R5 for cumulatively storing the sales amount for each code, and a sales memory for each person R6 for cumulatively storing the cumulative sales amount by code of all the responsible persons (cashers) using this electronic cash register are formed. Has been done.

Then, when the electronic cash register is powered on and various kinds of initial processing are completed, the CPU 15 is configured to execute the main routine of FIG. That is, when the main routine is started, it waits for a key signal input from the keyboard 2. When a key signal is input, at P1, the control key 13 is inspected as shown in Fig. 1.
If it is set to a position other than [Payment] and the control key 12 is not set to [Register] work mode,
At P2, it is checked whether or not the control key 12 is set to the [setting] work mode. And then [Settings]
When the business mode is set, if the key signal input from the keyboard 2 is the # / current key 10,
When it is judged that the responsible person code setting operation for the responsible person key memory R3 of the RAM 17 has started, the responsible person code setting process of FIG. 7 is executed.

In FIG. 7, when the responsible person code setting process is started, it is confirmed that one of the responsible person keys 11a and 11b of the keyboard 2 is turned on by the key. After that, before the # / current key 10 is input, it is confirmed with the numeral keys 7 that the numerical data has been entered in the numeral buffer of the work area R2. And
If there is numerical data, that numerical data is the name of the responsible person memory R
It is confirmed that the responsible person code is already set in No. 4 and the same responsible person code is not already set in the responsible person key memory R3. Also, it is confirmed that another responsible person code has not been already set in the responsible person code area corresponding to the turned-on or set (designated) responsible person key of the responsible person key memory R3. When all the above confirmation operations have been completed, the responsible person code entered in the entered number buffer is stored in the responsible person code area corresponding to the set responsible person key in the responsible person key memory R3 (responsible person code detecting means). ).

In the main routine of FIG. 6, when the control key 12 is set to the [registration] work mode at P1, it is determined that normal registration work is in progress, and the person in charge key 1
In 1a and 11b, only one of the responsible person keys 1 to 4 is turned on, and the responsible person code is stored in the responsible person code area of the relevant responsible person key of the responsible person key memory R3. Check (responsible person code detection means).
When the confirmation is completed, the type of the key signal input from the keyboard 2 is checked. If this key signal is for the deposit / cash total key 9, it is determined that the key input operation of the sales data of all the products sold to one customer is finished and the closing process such as the calculation of the total amount is started. Then, the deposit / cash total key processing of FIG. 8 is executed.

In FIG. 8, when the deposit / cash total key processing is started, it is first confirmed that the registering flag of the work area R2 is set to 1, and whether or not the numeral data is stored in the numeral buffer. To find out. If there is numeric data, it is judged that the deposit amount of this numeric data has been keyed in using the numeric keypad 7, and it is confirmed that this deposit amount is equal to or greater than the total amount accumulated in the totalizer of the work area R2. Then, at P4, while registering the total amount in the sales registration file R1,
The total amount is added to the sales amount area of the turned-on responsible key in the responsible key sales memory R5. In addition, the total amount mentioned above is stored in the sales person memory R6 by person in charge, and the person in charge key memory R
It is added to the sales cumulative area corresponding to the responsible person code corresponding to the turned on responsible person key 3 (sales data accumulation processing means).

When the storage processing of the sales memory R5 for each person in charge and the sales memory R6 for each person in charge is completed, it is checked again at P5 whether or not there is any number data in the number buffer. Then, if there is a deposit amount, the change amount is calculated and the change amount is displayed on the display units 3 and 6, and then the drawer 5 is opened for giving and receiving money. And
The printer 18 prints out the total amount, the reserved amount, and the fishing amount on the receipt. If there was no numerical data in the number buffer, there was no deposit amount, so the total amount is displayed on the display unit 3, as it is.
6, and the drawer 5 is opened. Then, only the total amount is printed out on the receipt.

Next, the responsible person name of the relevant responsible person code is read from the responsible person name memory R4 and printed out on the receipt. Then, the receipt is cut and discharged from the receipt issuing port 4. Since the sales registration processing for one customer is completed as described above, the registering flag of the work area R2 is cleared to 0.

In the main routine of FIG. 6, when the control key is set to the [payment] business mode in P6,
Since the one-day sales operation is completed and the settlement operation is in progress, it is checked whether the key signal input from the keyboard 2 is the deposit / cash total key 9. Then, if it is the deposit / cash total key 9, it is determined that the settlement operation of the sales memory R5 for each responsible person key has started (settlement operation selection means). The settlement process for each responsible person key in FIG. 9 is executed.

In FIG. 9, when the person-in-charge key-by-key settlement processing is started, the numerical data entered in the number input buffer is a number indicating the number of the person-in-charge key 1 to 4, and the sales by person-in-charge key. It is confirmed that the sales amount is stored in the sales amount area corresponding to the responsible person key indicated by the number in the memory R5. After that, the corresponding sales amount is read out from the sales amount area corresponding to the corresponding responsible key in the responsible key sales memory R5, and is printed out on the receipt together with the applicable responsible code (settlement data output means). Then, the read sales amount area of the sales memory R5 for each responsible person key is cleared, and the responsible person code stored in the responsible person code area corresponding to the printed responsible person key of the responsible person key memory R3 is also cleared. (Area clearing means).

When printing out the cumulative sales amount of each responsible person, which is cumulatively stored in each cumulative sales area of the responsible person-specific sales memory R6 of the RAM 17, after setting the control key 13 to the [payment] work position, printing out. After inputting the code of the cumulative amount of sales to be done with the numeral keys 7, the deposit / cash total key 9 may be operated in the same manner as described above.

In the case of the electronic cash register configured as described above, the responsible person code and the responsible person name of the responsible person (casher) who may use the electronic cash register are set in advance in the responsible person name memory R4 of the RAM 17. deep.
In this case, the number of responsible persons that can be set is greater than the number of responsible persons, which is four. Then, the control key 12 of the electronic cash register is set to [Setting] work before the start of the work on one day, and then the person in charge of the keys 11a and 11b and the numeral key 7 are operated to use this electronic cash register today. The responsible person codes of not more than four responsible persons are set in the responsible person code areas corresponding to the responsible person keys 1 to 4 of the responsible person key memory R3.

Then, the control key 12 is set to the [registration] operation and the normal sales registration operation is started. That is, one of the four responsible persons registered previously inserts a key corresponding to the number 1 to 4 of the responsible person key having registered his / her responsible person code into the responsible person keys 11a and 11b. Turn on (set). In this state, if the sales registration operation is performed by a normal key operation, each sales data of the product sold to one customer is registered in the sales registration file R1, and the total amount corresponds to the sales memory R5 for each responsible key. It is cumulatively stored in the sales area of the responsible person key and the cumulative sales area of the responsible person code of the responsible person sales memory R6. In addition, the name of the person in charge is printed out on the receipt together with the department code of the sold product, the sales amount, the total amount, and the like.

Then, at the time of the settlement work to be performed after the end of the day of work, the sales by the manager key accumulated in each sales amount area of the sales memory R5 by the manager key, that is, the sales by the manager using this electronic cash register today The forehead is printed out. When the printing output is completed, each responsible person code set in the responsible person key memory R3 is cleared.

In the case of such an electronic cash register, the responsible person code and the responsible person name of the responsible person who may use the electronic cash register are set in advance in the responsible person name memory R4. With just a simple setting operation, the name of the person in charge can be printed out on the receipt and the cumulative sales amount is cumulatively stored for each person in charge. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the responsible person name and the responsible person code every time, for example, four responsible persons who use the electronic cash register are replaced every morning.

Further, since the number of persons in charge of using the same electronic cash register per day does not usually exceed several persons, the number of sales areas in the person-by-person key-by-person sales memory R5 to be settled may be small.

Further, since the cumulative sales amount for each responsible person is separately stored in the responsible person sales memory R6, even if the responsible person who uses this electronic cash register is replaced every morning today, the responsible person key sales memory R5 is not always required. It is possible to grasp the cumulative sales amount of each person in charge without paying the sales amount.

Also, when each sales amount in the sales memory R5 for each responsible person key is printed out at the time of settlement after the end of the day's work, the responsible person set in the responsible person code area of the relevant responsible person key in the responsible person key memory R3. Since the code is also cleared, the person in charge of settlement cannot carry out sales operations with this electronic cash register unless he / she again sets his / her own responsible person code in the responsible person key memory R3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the person in charge of settlement from using the electronic cash register by mistake.

Further, for example, by setting the sales memory R5 for each responsible person key as the total for each day and the sales memory R6 for each responsible person as the total for each month, it is possible to rationally use the storage capacity of the RAM 17. Further, since the sales amount of each person in charge can be totaled for each day and every month, the business management of each person in charge can be easily performed.

Further, since the sales information of all the responsible persons who may use the electronic cash register is cumulatively stored in the responsible person-based sales memory R6, all the responsible persons can be efficiently managed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electronic cash register capable of easily managing each business state and each sales record of a responsible person (cashier) in number larger than the number of responsible person keys installed. .
