2. Description of the Related Art In a car maintenance factory or the like, mechanization of customer management and record of vehicle maintenance of each customer is provided to make it convenient for the customer, and at the factory side, work efficiency is also achieved.

A vehicle management device using a computer plays a major role in such mechanization, and has the following structure.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle management device includes a storage device 3 provided with a history data storage unit 3a for storing history data of vehicle maintenance of each customer, and a history of vehicle maintenance of each customer. Input device 4 for inputting data and various commands
And a processing device 5 for processing the history data of vehicle maintenance of an arbitrary customer input from the input device 4 for each management item, and storing / updating / deleting the history data storage part 3a of the storage device 3 therein. And an output device 6 for displaying the input / output of the processing device 5.

The storage device 3 is composed of a magnetic storage medium such as a flexible magnetic disk drive or a hard disk drive, and a memory such as a RAM, and the storage area for these is provided with the history data storage section 3a. The input device 4 is composed of a keyboard 4a, a mouse 4b, and other pointing devices, and is a device for inputting various data, codes, and commands. The processing device 5 has an electric circuit configuration including a central processing unit (CPU), and as described above, the vehicle maintenance history data input from the input device 4 is data-processed for each management item, and the storage is performed. This is a device for storing / updating / deleting in the history data storage unit 3a of the device 3. The output device 6 includes a display (C
RT) 6a, printer 6b, etc., and is a device for displaying the processing result by the processing device 5 on the screen and for printing.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When a customer requests, the history data storage unit 3a of the storage device 3 first searches for a customer name from a large number of vehicle maintenance history data, and the target customer The history data will be retrieved. In such a method, when the amount of the history data increases, it takes time to retrieve the customer name from the history data, which is not practical. Therefore, a method of giving a vehicle code for each vehicle to be managed and performing a search easily with the vehicle code is also conceivable. However, the vehicle code is provided only for the convenience of operating the vehicle management device, and even if each customer is informed of the vehicle code, there is no guarantee that these customers will remember it. In addition, each customer may have a large number of codes assigned to him / herself (this is not limited to vehicle codes, but also includes customer codes prepared for various customer management purposes). I can't remember each one. Further, in the above device configuration, only vehicle maintenance is recorded, and accounting processing after vehicle maintenance is performed by creating an invoice while looking at the vehicle maintenance record. It is still inefficient.

The present invention was devised in view of the above problems. It is possible to quickly retrieve the historical data of the vehicle maintenance office management of a customer even if the customer does not remember his or her own vehicle code. It is intended to provide an office management device for vehicle maintenance which is capable of automatically creating and updating invoices by filling in each record item of vehicle maintenance.

[0008]

Therefore, the vehicle maintenance office management apparatus of the present invention manages vehicle maintenance office work by using a card such as a magnetic card to perform vehicle maintenance recording processing and accounting processing linked thereto. A specific configuration is proposed. The specific configuration is a history data storage unit that stores history data on vehicle maintenance records and accounting processing corresponding to each vehicle code, and the history corresponding to each vehicle code. A storage device provided with a management table for storing corresponding addresses of the data storage unit, an input device for inputting a vehicle code, history data and various commands, and history data corresponding to the vehicle code input from the input device The corresponding address in the storage unit is searched from the management table, and the arbitrary history data similarly input from the input device is processed for each management item, Stored in the history data storage unit of 憶 equipment and
It has a processing device for updating / deleting and an output device for displaying the input / output of the processing device, and a reading device for reading the vehicle code from the storage part of the card having a recording part for recording the vehicle code. A history of the corresponding vehicle maintenance record and its accounting process from the history data storage section, by the processing device searching for the corresponding address from the management table of the storage device based on the vehicle code read by the reading device. The basic feature is to read out the data and, at the time of recording / updating the vehicle maintenance performed in the data processing, automatically generate / update the invoice by the processing device in conjunction with the recording / updating.

[0009]

As described above, with the use of the card in which the vehicle code is recorded in the recording unit, the vehicle maintenance office management device stores the configuration of the management table for managing the vehicle code. In addition to being provided inside the device, a new reading device for reading the vehicle code from the card is newly provided, and the reading device reads the vehicle code recorded in the recording section of the card, and then the vehicle code is read. Based on this, the processing device retrieves the corresponding address from the management table in the storage device, and reads the record of the corresponding vehicle maintenance and the history data regarding the accounting process from the history data storage unit. Then, the processing device performs data processing on the history data of the customer input from the input device for each management item, and stores / updates / deletes the history data in the storage unit of the storage device.
At the time of recording / updating the vehicle maintenance performed by the data processing, the bill is automatically created / updated by the processing device in conjunction with it.
