Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a sales data processing device that electronically processes sales data, and in particular, prints information on one product as a unit of a product on different print media. The present invention relates to a sales data processing device suitable for performing.

[Summary of the Invention] According to the present invention, in a sales data processing device, if there is an input that satisfies a predetermined final condition after designation of a product name, it is determined that one registration has ended, and one registration is performed based on the determination. By automatically printing the minute information, the input operability of the product information is improved and the omission of the input of the modification information is reduced.

[Prior Art] For example, as in the case of issuing a meal ticket using a sales data processing device in a restaurant or the like, it may be necessary to print information on one product on different sheets for each product. In such a case, if a dedicated key for instructing the issuance of a meal ticket or the like is provided and the meal ticket or the like is issued by operating the dedicated key, the number of key operations increases, so in the conventional sales data processing device, When the name is registered, a printing paper (food ticket) with the product name printed is automatically issued. However, depending on the product, not only the product name but also the form of the product, that is, the modification information (for example, the steak product name is medium or rare as the cooking form, should be printed on the same printing paper. In such a case, in the above method, the printing paper is automatically issued when the product name is registered, so that the product name and the modification information may be printed on different papers. Therefore, in order to prevent the product name and the qualification information from being printed separately on separate sheets, conventionally, the qualification information is first entered, then the product name is entered, and this product name registration is triggered. Is configured to automatically issue a meal ticket or the like.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with this re-improvement method, it is possible to print the product name and the modification information on the same sheet with a small number of key operations, but the modification information can be printed prior to the product name. The operation of inputting is ergonomically poor in operability.
If there are multiple types of modification information for one product, a meal ticket etc. will be issued even if you enter the product name when you have entered a smaller number of modification information than that type, so there is a risk of omission of modification information. is there.

The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and its purpose is to improve the operability of inputting product information,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a sales data processing device capable of reducing omission of input of modification information.

[Means for Solving Problems] Means of the present invention are as follows.

The sales data processing device electronically registers the sales data, and prints the registered sales data by the printing means. The product information table, the judging means,
A first print control unit, a storage control unit, a registration completion determination unit, and a second print control unit are provided.

The product information table stores, for each product name, input items of product attribute information that must be input for the product, and also stores a condition for ending the input of product attribute information for the product.

When the product name is designated, the determination means refers to the product information table and determines whether the product attribute information needs to be input.

The first print control means prohibits the input of the product attribute information and electronically registers the sales data corresponding to the product name when the determination means determines that the input of the product attribute information is unnecessary. The registered sales data is printed by the printing means.

When the determination unit determines that the product attribute information needs to be input, the storage control unit sequentially receives the input of the product attribute information of the product after the designation of the product name and responds to the input of the product attribute information. Then, the information indicating that the input is made is stored in the corresponding input item portion of the product information table.

(1) The registration termination determination means determines, in response to the input of the product attribute information, whether the input of the product attribute information satisfies the termination condition stored in the product information table,
If it is satisfied, it is judged that one registration is completed.

The second printing control means, when the one registration completion judging means judges that one registration is completed, refers to the product information table and prints the one registration information by the printing means. Control.

[Operation] The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows.

First, in the product information table, the input items of the product attribute information that need to be input for the product corresponding to each product name are stored, and the ending condition of the input of the product attribute information for the product is also stored. When the product name is designated, the determination means refers to the product information table and determines whether the product attribute information needs to be input. Then, when it is determined that the input of the product attribute information is unnecessary by the determination unit, the input of the product attribute information is prohibited by the first print control unit, and the sales data corresponding to the product name is electronically displayed. The registration processing is performed, and the registered sales data is printed by the printing means. On the other hand, when it is determined that the product attribute information needs to be input by the determination means, this time,
The storage control means sequentially accepts the input of the product attribute information of the product following the designation of the product name, and the input is made to the corresponding input item portion of the product information table in response to the input of the product attribute information. Is stored. Then, one registration end determination determines whether the input of the product attribute information satisfies the end condition stored in the product information table in response to the input of the product attribute information. Upon completion of the registration, the second printing control means refers to the product information table and controls the printing means to print the information for one registration.

[Embodiment] Configuration Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. In addition, this embodiment is an example applied to an electronic register having a meal ticket issuing function.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an electronic register with a meal ticket issuing function to which the present invention is applied. A CPU (central processing unit) 4 includes a storage unit 5 having various registers, an operation unit 6 for executing registration operation, and various operations. The control unit 7 controls the operation of the electronic register, and controls all the operations of the electronic register.
That is, the CPU 4 has a keyboard 8 for inputting various information such as sales data to be processed by the CPU 4, a RAM 9 for storing sales data processed by the CPU 4 and data referred to in the process, and an operation of the CPU 4. ROM 10 in which a microprogram to be controlled is stored in advance, a registration processing result of CPU 4, a printing unit 11 for printing input data input from the keyboard 8, CP
The display unit 12 for displaying the registration processing result of U4, the input data input from the keyboard 8 and the like, and the drawer 13 for storing the sold money are electrically connected, and the CPU 4 is connected to the RAM 9
The data input from the keyboard 8 is processed according to the microprogram stored in the ROM 10 while referring to the data stored in the memory as needed, and the contents such as the processing result are printed on the printing unit 11 and displayed on the display unit 12. Display it. When a predetermined key of the keyboard 8 is operated, the CPU 4 controls the opening of the drawer 13 based on the operation signal. Note that the modifier key counter CT is formed as a work area in the memory area of the RAM 9 during the processing of the CPU 4, but is shown as a block separate from the RAM 9 for easy understanding.

The product name key 14 for entering individual product names as the product information key 14 for entering product information on the keyboard 8
15, a modifier key 16 for entering modifier information corresponding to the product name, a numeric keypad 17 for entering correction data, etc.,
A function key 18 for inputting other function information and a mode switch 19 for switching various modes are provided. Here, the arrangement state of the product name key 15 and the modifier key 16 is such that when the modifier key 16 corresponds to only a specific product name key 15, the corresponding product name key 15 and the modifier key 16 are brought close to each other. And then place the modifier key
When 16 is commonly used for multiple product names,
Such modifier keys 16 may be collectively arranged at a predetermined position. In addition to the RF (return), power off (OFF), REG (registration), X (check), Z (settlement) modes, the RAM9
There is a programming mode (PGM) for writing and programming data to.

Before using this electronic register, the user stores the data of the memory structure as shown in FIG. 2 in the RAM 9 in advance. That is, the user first operates the mode changeover switch 19 to set the programming mode, and the product name key 1
5. Using the modifier key 16, the numeric keypad 17, etc., enter information such as the product name, product modification information, and product unit price. Then, the product information table 20 as shown in FIG. 2 is created in the RAM 9. This product information table 20 is a product name item 2
It consists of 1, unit price item 22, qualification number item 23, qualification information item 24, and sales number item 25 by qualification information.
When the product name key 15 is operated under the mode, the product name item 21, unit price item 22 and modification number item 23 of the product information table 20 are searched with the product name corresponding to the key operation signal as a clue, The product name and the unit price corresponding to the product name are registered in the RAM 9 under a predetermined condition, and the modification number N of the modification number item 23 corresponding to the product name is set in the modification key counter CT. Also, under the REG (registration) mode, the modifier key 16
When is operated, the modification information item 24 of the product information table 20 is searched by using the modification information corresponding to the operated modification key 16 and the product name corresponding to the product information key 14 as a clue,
When the decoration information is registered in the RAM 9 under a predetermined condition, the corresponding sales information item 25 by decoration information is incremented by one.

It should be noted that the number of information items of the modification information item 24 and the modification number N of the modification number item 23 do not match. For example,
"Miso", "Shio", "Shouyu", "Large", "Small", "Thick", "Thin" as the modification information for "Ramen"
There are seven types, but “3” is stored in the modification number item 23 corresponding to “ramen”. This shows that the number of modifications N indicates the number of types of products. For example, the type of "ramen" is the type of soup (Miso, Shio, Shoyu), the amount (large or small), the thickness of the noodles. This is because there are three types of modes (thick and thin), and one may be selected from each of these modes.

Operation Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.

When the power is turned on by operating the mode changeover switch 19, the microprogram stored in the ROM 10 is sequentially loaded into the predetermined register of the storage unit 5 of the CPU 4 one state at a time and sequentially executed. First, the modifier key counter CT is cleared. Is performed (step S1). Next, in step S2, it is determined whether or not a key operation signal is input from the keyboard 8. If there is no key operation signal input, the key operation signal is kept waiting, and if a key operation signal is input. To step
Proceed to S3 to determine the mode. As a result of the mode determination in step S3, if a mode other than the registration mode is set, the process proceeds to step S16 to process various information according to the routine corresponding to the mode, and if the registration mode is set, step S2 It is determined whether or not the key operation signal detected in step corresponds to the product name key 15 (step S4). When it is determined in step S4 that the product name key 15 is the operation signal, that is, when the product name key 15 is operated in the registration mode, the process proceeds to step S5 and the content of the modifier key counter CT is "0". Determine if there is. If it is determined in step S5 that the content of the modifier key counter CT is "0", the product name corresponding to the operated product name key 15 is registered in the RAM 9 (step S6), and the product name is further registered. The product information table 20 is searched as a clue, and the number of modifications N of the modification number item 23 corresponding to the product name is determined (step S7). As a result of the determination, if the modification count N is not “0”, that is, if there is predetermined modification information for modifying the product, the modification count N is set to the modification key counter.
The CT is set (step S8), and the operation returns to the key operation signal input waiting state of step S2. Modifier key counter in step S5
If it is determined that the CT content is not "0", step S4
Since it means that the modification information of the product corresponding to the product name key 15 determined in step S3 has not been registered yet, the process immediately returns to the key operation signal input waiting state in step S2. Also,
In step S7, the product name key 15 determined in step S4
If it is determined that the qualification information of the product corresponding to No. 1 exists, it does not matter if the food ticket is issued immediately. Therefore, it is determined that one registration is completed and the control signal b is sent to the printing unit 11.
And a product name selection signal. Then, the printing unit 11
Prints the product data corresponding to the input product name and issues a meal ticket (step S9). After issuing the meal ticket, the modifier key counter CT is set to "0" (step S1.
0) Return to the state of waiting for key operation signal input in step S2.

When the key operation signal does not correspond to the product name key 15 in step S4, the process proceeds to step S11, and it is determined whether the key operation signal corresponds to the modifier key 16.
As a result, if it is determined that the modifier key 16 is an operation signal, that is, if the modifier key 16 is operated next to the product name key 15 in the registration mode, the process proceeds to step S12 and the modifier key counter CT is displayed. It is determined whether the content is "0". As a result, when it is determined that the content of the modifier key counter CT is not "0", the modifier information corresponding to the operated modifier key 16 is registered in the RAM 9 (step S13), and the content of the modifier key counter CT is set to 1 Only decrement (step S1
Four). Next, in step S15, it is determined whether or not the content of the modifier key counter CT is "0". If "0", it is determined that one registration has been completed, and the process proceeds to step S9 to perform one registration. A food ticket with the minute printed is issued, and if it is not "0", it is determined that one registration has not been completed yet, and the process returns to the key operation signal input waiting state in step S2. When it is determined in step S11 that the operation signal is other than the modifier key 16, processing corresponding to the operation signal is performed (step S11 → step S16).

To explain the above flow in more detail with a specific example, for example, if it is determined that the product name key 15 has been operated in step S4, and that is specifically the product name key 15 corresponding to "ramen", Modifier key counter CT in step S5
Is determined whether it is "0", and if it is "0", the number of decorations N corresponding to the product name information input last time is N.
Either the modifier key 16 has been operated by the number of minutes, or the modification count N was "0", or the product name key 15 was operated for the first time after the power was turned on. The registration process is performed in S6. Next, when the product information table 20 is searched, since the content of the modification number item 23 corresponding to "ramen" is "3", "3" is set in the modification key counter CT in step S8. At this stage, for example, if the product name key 15 corresponding to "hamburger" is operated, the content of the modifier key counter CT is determined in step S5 through step S4. In this case, the content of the modifier key counter CT is Since it remains "3", it is not considered that one registration has ended, the information of "hamburger" is invalidated, and the process returns to step S2 again. When the product name key 15 for "children's lunch" is operated instead of the above "ramen" and the product name key 15 for "hamburger" is operated next, the number of modification times N for "children's lunch" is N Is "0", so registering only the product name is regarded as the end of one registration,
Immediately after the meal ticket is issued in step S9, step S10
Since the modifier key counter CT is set to “0”, the modifier key counter CT is “0” at the time when the second product name information “hamburger” is input.
The input signal corresponding to is received and registered (step S5 → step S6). After that, "2" as the number of modifications N corresponding to "hamburger" is set in the modification key counter CT and the process returns to step S2 (step S7 → step S8 → step S12).

Go back to the original explanation, and after "ramen", for example, "Miso"
When the modifier key 16 corresponding to is operated, the content of the modifier key counter CT is determined in step S12 via the route of step S8 → step S2 → step S3 → step S4 → step S11. Since the content of the modifier key counter CT is "3", it is judged that one registration has not ended, and the modifier information "Miso" is registered (step S13), and the content of the modifier key counter CT is decremented by one. (Step S14), and the modifier key counter CT is "0" in step S15.
Or not. Since the modifier key counter CT is "2" at this time, it is not considered that one registration has ended, and the process returns to step S2. If the product name key 15 is operated at this stage, the signal of the product name key 15 is invalidated as described above. At this stage, for example, when the modifier key 16 corresponding to “thin” is operated, “thin” is registered in the same manner as when the modifier key 16 corresponding to “miso” is operated, and the modifier key counter CT is set to 1
Is only decremented. Next, when the modifier key 16 corresponding to "small" is operated, "small" is registered in the same manner,
The modifier key counter CT is decremented by 1. As a result, the content of the modifier key counter CT becomes "0", so it is determined that one registration has been completed, and the process proceeds from step S15 to step S9, and one registration (at least "ramen", "miso" in this case). , "Thin", "Small") are printed, and the modifier key counter CT is issued in step S10.
Is set to "0" and the process returns to step S2. In this way, as long as the modifier key 16 is operated the predetermined number of times N of modification, the food ticket printed with the content of one registration is issued regardless of the operation order of the modifier key 16. Here, after the power is turned on, in the registration mode, if the modifier key 16 is first operated and then the product name key 15 is operated, “0” is displayed in the modifier key counter CT in step S1. Since it has been set, the operation signal of the modifier key 16 is invalidated in step S12, and
The registration processing is executed for the operation signal of the product name key 15 in step S6 via 5. Further, even in the subsequent operation, the registration process is not executed for the next product name key 15 unless the modifier key 16 is operated by the number N of times of modification corresponding to the product name key 15. The order of product name key 15 → modification key 16 is always maintained, which makes it easier to operate ergonomically and reduces omission of modification information.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
For example, instead of providing the modification count item 23, a flag indicating that the modification information has ended is stored in association with the specific modification information, and the end of one registration may be determined by determining this flag. good.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, it is determined that one registration is completed when there is an input that satisfies a predetermined final condition after designation of a product name, and based on the determination. Since the information for one registration is automatically printed, it is possible to realize a sales data processing device that can improve the input operability of product information and reduce omission of modification information.
