Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as an ECR), and more particularly to setting a department code in a department code storage area of a memory when registering data related to a product. Regarding ECR.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an ECR, in which department codes before registration are set by setting department codes in a predetermined order in a department code storage area of a storage unit each time price data of a product and a department code are input. The code setting operation is omitted.

Conventional technology In supermarkets, department stores, etc., products are classified into departments in advance and the sales of the products are managed by department. For this reason, the memory of the ECR is provided with a department code storage area, a total amount data storage area, and a registration count storage area, and the department code is set in advance in each department code storage area in the setting mode. At the time of registration, each time the product price data and department code are input, the department code storage area of the memory is searched, and the product price data is cumulatively stored in the corresponding department code total price data storage area. The number of registrations is stored in the corresponding registration number storage area.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned ECR, the department code must be set in the department code storage area of the memory before opening, and there are many types of products handled such as supermarkets and department stores. Then, the setting operation was very complicated.
Moreover, each time the department code is changed, the changed department code must be set again in the department code storage area of the memory.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is that it is not necessary to set the department code in advance, and the EC code that allows each department code to be automatically set when registering data related to a product.
It is to provide R.

Means for Solving Problems The present invention provides input means for inputting money amount data and department codes of products, department code storage areas for storing a plurality of department codes, and total amount data corresponding to each department code. A storage unit including a total amount data storage area to be stored and a registration number storage area to store the number of registrations corresponding to each department code, and the amount data is accumulated in a total data storage area corresponding to each department code storage area. To remember
In an electronic cash register equipped with a control means for storing the number of registrations in the number-of-registrations storage area corresponding to each department code storage area, the electronic cash register is inputted each time the department code of the amount data of the product is inputted by the input means. It is equipped with a judging means for judging whether or not the department code is already registered, and a writing means for additionally storing the inputted department code in the department code storage area if not stored. When registering data,
Configured to set the department code.

Effect The ECR according to the present invention determines whether or not the entered department code has already been registered each time the price data and the department code of the product are input from the input means. The entered department code is stored in the code storage area, the amount data is stored in the corresponding total amount data storage area, and the number of registrations is stored in the corresponding registration count storage area. The setting operation is unnecessary.

Embodiment FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a key layout diagram of the keyboard 2 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a storage area of the RAM 6 shown in FIG.

First, the structure of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 2, the CPU 1 includes a keyboard 2, a display unit 3, a printer 4, a ROM 5 and a RAM 6.
And are connected. The keyboard 2 is, as shown in FIG.
Includes a mode selector switch 21, a numeric keypad 22, a department key 23, a subtotal key 24, and a deposit / cash total key 25. The mode selector switch 21 selects any one of a preset mode (P), a power-off (OFF), a registration mode (R), an inspection mode (X) and a settlement mode (Z). The ten-key pad 22 is for inputting price data of merchandise and cash amount data paid by the customer. The department key 23 is for inputting the department code (DP1 to DP8) of the product. The subtotal key 24 is for instructing the total calculation of the amount data of the respective products input so far, and the deposit / cash total key 25 is operated to perform change processing etc. when the customer pays cash. It is a thing.

The display mark 3 shown in FIG. 2 displays the amount data, department code and total amount of the inputted products, and the printer 4 prints those data on a receipt. ROM5
Stores programs necessary for CPU1 to operate. RAM6 is a department code storage area 41 as shown in FIG.
And a totalizer 42 and a counter 43.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart for explaining a specific operation of one embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the specific operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the operator switches the mode changeover switch 21 to set the registration mode. Then, the ten key 22 is operated to input the amount data of the product purchased by the customer, and the department key 23 is operated to input the department code of the product, for example, "01". CPU1 determines whether or not the registration mode is set, and if it is a mode other than the registration mode, performs other processing according to the mode, and if it is the registration mode, the department key
It is determined whether 23 has been operated.

When the CPU 1 determines that the department key 23 has been operated, the entered department code "01" is stored in the department code storage area 61 of the RAM 6
It is determined whether or not registered in. In the initial state, since no department code is set in the department code storage area 61, the head area of the department code storage area 61 is designated and the department code “01” is set in the head area.
Then, the CPU 1 determines that the input department code is larger than the leading area and specifies the next department code storage area. Then, the amount data input from the numeric keypad 22 is cumulatively added to the totalizer 62 corresponding to the set department code "01", and the number of times of the adder 63 is incremented by one.

The operator inputs the amount data of each product purchased by the customer from the ten key 22 and the department code from the department key 23 repeatedly. As a result, the department code of the product purchased by the customer, such as "01", "03", "04",
“06” and “09” are sequentially set as shown in FIG. When the operator finishes inputting all the amount data and department code of the product purchased by the customer, he operates the deposit / cash total key 25 to perform the closing operation.

Next, the operator inputs the amount data of the product purchased by the next customer and the department code, for example, "07". When the CPU 1 determines that the department code is entered from the department key 23, the entered department code "07" is already in the department code storage area 61.
It is determined whether or not registered in. Department code "07"
Since is not registered yet, the area of the maximum registered department code "09" is specified. Then, it is determined whether or not the input department code “07” is larger than the specified department code “09”. Since the entered department code "07" is not greater than the specified department code "09", shift the area specification by -1 and specify the area with the department code "06" that is the next largest department code "09". .

The CPU1 determines that the entered department code "07" is larger than the specified department code "06", shifts the storage area for storing the maximum department code "09", and sets the maximum department code "09". The data respectively stored in the corresponding summer and counter are also shifted. Then, the inputted department code "07" is set in the area where the maximum department code "09" was stored. Further, the amount data input to the totalizer 62 corresponding to the set department code “07” is added, and the counter 63 is incremented by one. When this operation is repeated and the customer purchases a product with the department code that has already been set, the contents of the totalizer 62 and the number of times counter 63 corresponding to the department code that has already been set are updated, and the department that has not been registered yet When the customer purchases the code product, the department code is set. Therefore, every time the department code is input, the department codes are automatically set in the RAM 6 in ascending order of number in this embodiment.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, every time the price data and the department code of a product are input, it is determined whether or not the input department code is already registered, and it is not registered. In this case, the input department code is stored in the department code storage area, the amount data is cumulatively stored in the total amount data storage area corresponding to the code storage area of each department, and the corresponding registration number storage area is stored. Since the number of registrations is stored, it is not necessary to preset the department code before opening the store, and the labor of the operator can be reduced.
