Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of reading a bar code attached to a merchandise and registering the merchandise using the unit price stored in the bar code read.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in an electronic cash register type product sales registration data processing device, a product code is input using an input means (scanner or keyboard) (ST3 in FIG. 5).
0 (YES in ST31, YES in ST31), the control unit (CP
U) searches the product file (ST37) and reads the product data (product name, unit price). And product registration (ST
38) When the tightening operation (YES in ST39) is performed,
Accounting processing (ST40) including calculation of total amount, change amount, opening of drawer, issuance of receipt, etc. is performed.

By the way, as for a private brand (PB) product, among others, a bar code 50 attached to the product stores a "product code" and a "unit price" as shown in FIG. There is something. This barcode 50
For example, in a bar code issuing exclusive machine connected to a personal computer, a product code and a unit price are keyed in, printed and issued, and attached to a product by an operator. In addition, the product with the bar code 50 is often offered as a special sale product, a featured product, or a freshness time management product, and is often offered as a price reduction service.

For example, the upper two digits of the bar code 50 are "0".
If a PB product is displayed as 2 "and it is determined that the product is a PB product (YES in ST32), the product code and the unit price A are temporarily stored (ST33). However, when the price reduction key is turned on (YES in ST34) and the price reduction amount B is input by the key operation (YES in ST35), the price reduction amount C (= AB) is calculated. The price reduction process (ST36) is performed, and the product is registered at the amount C (ST3).
8) is formed.

[0005] When carrying out a price reduction service sale, the worker is supposed to hand-write the unit price C after price reduction to all the target products on the display shelf in advance and clearly indicate to the customer.

[0006]

By the way, in foods (for example, prepared foods) and certain kinds of PB products, for example, the price reduction amount B is changed from an arbitrary time close to the closing time and the time service is sold. There are cases.

In such a case, not only is the mental and physical burden required for the cashier price reduction processing work (ST34, 35 in FIG. 5) enormous, but an input error of the price reduction amount B is likely to occur. When the store is busy or when a simultaneous price reduction service for multiple products is performed, it is more complicated and erroneous operations are likely to occur.

Therefore, it is possible to rewrite the "unit price" of the bar code 50 shown in FIG. However, in the case of this unit price rewriting method, by handwriting the price C after the price reduction on the price reduction target product, the normal unit price data, which has the longest application time, must be changed to issue the rewriting barcode 50. Because it won't
The rewriting operation requires a great deal of trouble and is likely to cause an error setting input. In addition, since it is necessary to return to the normal unit price after selling the price reduction service, it is a double labor. Therefore, it is difficult to introduce.

On the other hand, in addition to the normal unit price, the post-price reduction amount C and the price reduction sales start time are set and stored in the product file, and when the price reduction sales start time has passed,
A method of selling with a reduced price C has been proposed and implemented.

[0010] However, with this method, it is difficult to start price reduction sales at a timing according to the circumstances such as sales record, inventory quantity, and customer flow. Therefore, it is said that it is difficult to adopt it as a price-reduction selling method for foods and the like.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of promptly and accurately executing price reduction service sales of bar coded merchandise in which unit prices are stored.

[0012]

[Means for Solving the Problems] It is certainly unrealistic to rewrite a plurality of digits "unit price" of the barcode 50 as described above. However, considering that only one digit of the data of the bar code 50 is rewritten, for example, from “0” to “1”, the setting input work is simple and the bar code 50 itself is set by the issuing machine. Since it is automatically issued, no labor is required. Moreover, the time when the barcode 50 is attached to the product can be arbitrarily determined.

Thus, according to the present invention, the price reduction code (for example, one digit "1") is stored in the bar code 50, and when the price reduction code is stored, the price reduction execution data storage means is stored in advance. The price reduction processing can be executed using the set price reduction data.

That is, the present invention is a commodity sales registration data processing device configured to read a bar code attached to a commodity and to register the commodity by using the unit price stored in the read bar code. Price reduction execution data storage means for storing price reduction execution data corresponding to price reduction data, determination means for determining whether or not a price reduction code is stored in the bar code read from the product, and price reduction code are stored. And a price reduction processing execution control means for executing the price reduction processing for the product by using the read price reduction data. , Is characterized.

[0015]

In the case of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, when the discriminating means discriminates that the bar code read and inputted from the product stores the price reduction code, the reading means reduces the price stored in the price reduction execution data storing means. Read the data. Then, the price reduction processing execution control means executes the price reduction processing for the product using the read price reduction data.

Therefore, if price reduction data (price reduction amount) corresponding to the price reduction code is stored in the price reduction execution data storage means, the price reduction process for subtracting the unit price read from the bar code may be performed. Further, when the price reduction data (rate reduction rate) is stored, the price reduction amount obtained by multiplying the reading unit price by the price reduction rate is used. Further, when the price reduction data (price after price reduction) is stored, the reading is the price reduction processing, and therefore the product registration may be performed as it is.
Moreover, the price reduction sale can be started at any time by selecting the barcode attachment timing. Further, the price reduction code and the price reduction data corresponding thereto can be plural. Therefore, it becomes easy to change the price reduction amount a plurality of times within a relatively short time.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the product sales registration data processing device has a basic structure composed of an electronic cash register 10, and further has a price reduction execution data storage means 13T, a discrimination means (11, 12), and a reading means (11, 12) and price reduction processing execution control means (11, 12) are provided, and the price reduction code and the price reduction data are stored in advance in the price reduction execution data storage means 13T. Whether it is stored or not is determined, and if it is determined that it is stored, the price reduction processing can be executed using the price reduction data read from the price reduction execution data storage unit 13T.

Further, in this embodiment, the price reduction execution data storage means 13T is formed so as to be able to store a plurality of price reduction codes and price reduction data, and the reading means (11, 12) is formed so as to be selectively readable. The discount service is made easier to execute.

In FIG. 1, an electronic cash register 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, a clock circuit 14, a scanner 19 (scanner circuit 15), a keyboard 20 (keyboard circuit 16), a display 21 (display control circuit 17), and an input / output port (I / O) 18. The printer 22 (printer driving circuit 24), the drawer 23 (drawer opening device 25), and the communication interface (I / F) 29 connected to each other are formed so as to be able to execute product registration processing, accounting processing, and the like.

The basic function of the electronic cash register 10 is the conventional example (ST30 to 33, ST37 to 4 in FIG. 5).
0) (ST10-13, ST18-21 in FIG. 4)
Is.

Here, the price reduction execution data storage means 13T
Is a means for storing the price reduction execution data in which the price reduction code and the price reduction data are associated with each other, and is formed in the battery-backed RAM 13 shown in FIG. Figure 2
As shown in, the price reduction code is a one-digit code ("1" ~
"9") and the price reduction data is the price reduction amount B ("1"
0 yen "to" 150 yen ". The code (" 0 ") means the sale at the normal price based on the" unit price ".

This price reduction code is the same as that stored in the bar code 50 attached to the target product of the price reduction service sale, as shown in FIG. In this case, the "unit price" remains the normal unit price (for example, 200 yen). Therefore, since only the one-digit price reduction code is set and input and the set number of barcodes 50 are issued, it is possible to save the trouble and prevent the setting input error. Further, by simply selecting the timing of attaching the barcode 50 to the product, it is possible to carry out an appropriate price reduction sale according to the sales situation.

The price-reduction code and the price-reduction data may be of one type, and the price-reduction data may be implemented as the amount C after price reduction or the rate of price reduction (%) as described above.

Next, the discriminating means is means for discriminating whether or not the price reduction code is stored in the bar code data read from the product, and the discrimination control program is stored in the R.
It is formed from the OM 12 and the CPU 11, and ST14 in FIG.
Run on.

The reading means is means for reading the price reduction data from the price reduction execution data storage means 13T shown in FIG. 2 when it is determined that the price reduction code is stored (YES in ST14). In particular, it is a means for searching the price reduction execution data storage means 13T and selectively reading out the price reduction data corresponding to the price reduction code, which is formed from the ROM 12 and the CPU 11 in which the selective read control program is stored, and in ST15 and ST16 of FIG. To be executed.

The price reduction processing execution control means is a means for executing the price reduction processing for the product using the selectively read price reduction data, and is formed from the ROM 12 and the CPU 11 in which the price reduction processing execution control program is stored. Is executed in ST17. Since the price reduction data in this embodiment is the price reduction amount B, the price reduction processing execution control means (11, 12) is the conventional example (ST36 in FIG. 5).
Is the same as executing That is, they can be used in combination.

This is also the case in the conventional example (ST3 in FIG. 5).
In 5), the price reduction amount B was key-inputted for each product, whereas the price reduction execution data storage means 13T needs to be set and stored only once, so that the burden on the cashier can be dramatically reduced. Is understood.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Consider a case where a product whose "unit price" of the barcode 50 shown in FIG. 3 is "200 yen", which is the normal price A, is sold at a reduced price of "30 yen", for example.

The operator issues a predetermined number of bar codes 50 shown in FIG. 3 in which the price reduction code is set and stored with "3" instead of "0" by using a bar code issuing exclusive machine. Since the setting of the "unit price" of a plurality of digits is not changed to, for example, "0170", the setting input work is easy and there is no setting input error.

While attaching the bar code 50 in which the price reduction code is set and stored as "3" to the product targeted for the price reduction service at the optimum time according to the sales situation of the product, the stock amount, etc., the worker Write down the price reduction amount B (“30 yen”) or the price reduction amount C (“170 yen”).
This completes the preparation.

The cashier selects the scanner 19 from the product.
Read and enter the product code using (Y in ST10 of FIG. 4)
Then, the CPU 11 confirms that the upper two digits are "02" (YES in ST12), that is, determines that the product is a price reduction service sale target product, and reads the product code (for example, "0010"). ) And unit price A (“200
"""Is temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 13 (ST13).

Then, the discriminating means (11, 12) discriminates whether or not the price reduction code is stored in the bar code data (ST14). If not stored, that is, if the price reduction code digit is "0" (NO in ST14), the process immediately proceeds to ST19.

When it is determined that the price reduction code ("3") is stored (YES in ST14), the selective reading means (11, 12) searches the price reduction execution data storage means 13T shown in FIG. 2 ( While performing ST15), the price reduction data corresponding to the price reduction code (“3”), that is, the price reduction amount B (“30 yen”) is selectively read (ST16).

The price reduction processing execution control means (11,
12) is the selectively read out price reduction amount B (“30
The price reduction process (ST17) is executed using the "Yen"). The price reduction amount C ("30" from the read unit price A ("200 Yen")).
The price C (“170 yen”) after price reduction is calculated by subtracting the “yen”). The selling price (C) is “170 yen”, and the product is registered (ST19).

Therefore, the cashier is operated by pressing down the price-reduction key shown in ST34 of FIG.
Since it is not necessary to perform the key input work of the price reduction amount B of 35 (“30 yen”), the product can be registered efficiently and quickly.
Further, it is possible to eliminate the erroneous setting input of the price reduction amount B and the cancel / reset input operation due to the erroneous input.

According to this embodiment, however, the price reduction execution data storage means 13T and the discriminating means (11, 12).
If read-out means (11, 12) and price-reduction processing execution control means (11, 12) are provided and the price-reduction execution data storage means 13T stores the price-reduction code and the price-reduction data in advance, it is read from the product. It is determined whether or not the price reduction code is stored in the bar code 50, and when it is determined that the price reduction code is stored, the price reduction processing can be executed using the price reduction data read from the price reduction execution data storage unit 13T. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and accurately carry out the price reduction service sale for the barcode-attached product in which the unit price is stored. Moreover, the conventional work including the operation of pressing the price-reduction key and the setting and inputting of the price-reduction amount B required for each product can be eliminated, so that the mental and physical burden of the cashier can be dramatically reduced and the business efficiency and the customer The credibility can also be greatly improved.

Further, the price reduction execution data storage means 13T is formed so as to be able to store a plurality of price reduction execution data (price reduction code, price reduction data), and read means (11, 1).
Since 2) is formed so as to be selectively readable, it is possible to easily carry out price reduction service sales in a plurality of stages and to easily change the price reduction amount B.

Further, since the price reduction code is a one-digit numerical value, the bar code 50 for selling the price reduction service is used.
Can be issued easily and quickly, and setting input errors can be reliably prevented compared to when changing the "unit price". Moreover, since the "unit price" is not changed, it is not necessary to return to the normal price.

Since the price reduction data is the price reduction amount B, the price reduction processing execution control means (11, 12) can also be used as the conventional example, so that it can be realized at low cost and the price reduction execution data storage means 13T. Since the price reduction code and the price reduction amount B set and stored in 1 to 3 digits are sufficient, the setting input error can be more reliably prevented from this point as well.

[0040]

According to the present invention, the price reduction execution data storage means, the discrimination means, the reading means and the price reduction processing execution control means are provided, and the price reduction execution data storage means stores the price reduction code and the price reduction data in advance. If so, it is determined whether or not the price reduction code is stored in the bar code read from the product, and if it is determined that the price reduction code is stored, the price reduction processing is performed using the price reduction data read from the price reduction execution data storage means. Since it is configured to be able to execute the above, it is possible to quickly and accurately execute the price reduction service sale for the barcode-attached product in which the unit price is stored. Moreover, the conventional work including the operation of pressing down the price-reduction key and setting and inputting the price-reduction amount required for each product can be wiped out, so that the mental and physical burden of the cashier can be dramatically reduced, and the operational efficiency and the customer's credibility can be reduced. Can be greatly improved.
