Abstract

PURPOSE: To shorten the time, improve the efficiency, and eliminate the possibility of missetting by setting the respective items of a PLU with a copied PLU. CONSTITUTION: The control part 1 of the POS terminal 10 controls the whole POS terminal according to a system program stored in a memory part 2, the states of input and output signals are displayed at a display part 3, and a key part 4 consists of a keyboard, etc., and is used to input various data and operates the terminal. The control part 1 reads PLU data out of a PLU memory 2a according to the system program stored in the memory part 2, displays a menu screen of the PLU at the display part 3, and copies the contents of the PLU needed at a copy destination from the whole PLU at a copy source according to input data inputted from the key part 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

[Industrial field of use] A POS terminal including a control unit, a memory unit, a display unit, a key unit, etc.
The present invention relates to a POS terminal having a copy function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional POS terminal, when setting the contents of a PLU (unit price, item name, tax, selection of open / preset, etc.), the contents are set for all PLUs by inputting from the key section. Was going on.

[0003]

However, the setting of each item of the PLU by inputting from the key section for all the PLUs in the conventional POS terminal is time-consuming and inefficient, and the setting error is caused. There was a problem of fear.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a POS terminal capable of efficiently setting the contents of a PLU and reducing setting errors.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, a POS terminal according to the present invention is a PLU for storing PLU data in a POS terminal including a control unit, a memory unit, a display unit, a key unit and the like. A memory is provided, and P of a required item is selected from all PLUs in the PLU memory.
After selecting the LU, select the PLU of this selected item from the P
It is characterized in that a PLU copy means for copying to a designated area in the LU memory is provided.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the contents of the PLU can be efficiently set from the PLU copied by the copy means without setting each item for all PLUs by inputting from the key section, which takes time. It is possible to efficiently set the PLU without having to do so and to reduce input errors at the time of setting.

[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of a POS terminal. The POS terminal 10 includes a control unit, a memory unit, a display unit, a key unit and the like. The control unit 1 controls the entire POS terminal 10 based on the system program. The memory unit 2 stores the system program described above and also has an area of the PLU memory 2a for storing PLU data. A CRT or a liquid crystal display device is used as the display unit 3, and the state of input / output signals is displayed. The key unit 4 is composed of a keyboard or the like and is used for inputting various data or operating the terminal.

The control unit 1 controls the PLU memories 2a to P based on the system program stored in the memory unit 2.
Read the LU data, display the PLU menu screen on the display unit 3, and answer all the inquiries from the screen based on the input data input from the key unit 4 and copy all the P-source data.
Copy the contents of the required PLU from the LU to the copy destination.

Next, one example of a PLU copy operation procedure will be described with reference to FIGS. A selection menu is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 2, and "3" is input from the keyboard of the key unit 4 to select "3 PLU COPY".
In the screen shown in FIG. 3, a request is made to input the PLU number of the copy source, and the PLU number "999" of the required item is input from the keyboard. The contents of the PLU of the copy source are displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 4 for confirmation.

In the screen shown in FIG. 5, a request is made to input the PLU number of the copy destination, and "1" is input from the keyboard to specify the PLU number of the copy destination. A message to the effect that copying is completed is displayed on the screen shown in FIG. The screen shown in FIG. 7 shows the contents copied to the copy destination PLU number 1. Therefore, it is not necessary to set each item of the PLU for all PLUs by inputting from the key unit 4, which is efficient and can reduce input errors. Although the PLU memory 2a is provided in the memory unit 2 in the embodiment, it may be provided separately from the memory unit 2.

[0011]

As described above, P in the present invention
The OS terminal is a POS terminal including a control unit, a memory unit, a display unit, a key unit, etc., and is provided with a PLU memory for storing PLU data, and all P
Since the PLU of the required item is selected from the LU and the PLU copying means for copying the PLU of the selected item to the designated area in the PLU memory is provided, the contents of the PLU can be efficiently copied from the PLU. Can be set, the PLU can be set efficiently without spending time, and input errors at the time of setting can be reduced.
