Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash register device capable of easily confirming macro function settings.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A cash register device currently in use is provided with various input / output and totalizing functions, which can be executed by operating a key. For example,
By operating the key of "1", the output of the daily total report is requested, and by operating the key of "2", the daily report can be specified by specifying the report for each time zone. You can output by time zone.

In order to facilitate the key operation,
Multiple functions can be collectively registered in correspondence with one macro key (function key), and by operating the corresponding macro key, multiple functions can be easily executed continuously. Some have been done (macro function). For example, the "1" key and the "2" key are collectively registered so as to correspond to one macro key, and the macro key is operated to operate in the same manner as described above.
Can be output by time zone.

Next, a conventional method of collectively registering the plurality of operation keys as a macro function will be described. The conventional cash register device has a switching means for switching between the macro function setting mode and the normal operation mode. When setting the macro function, the switching means is used to switch to the macro function setting mode, and the plurality of operation keys are sequentially pressed to set a predetermined macro key.
By pressing, the macro key and the plurality of operation keys are correspondingly stored in the memory. When the macro key is pressed in the normal operation mode, the functions corresponding to the operation keys stored in the memory are sequentially executed.

[0005]

However, as described above, in the conventional macro function setting mode, only the operation key and the macro key are stored in correspondence with each other, and they are executed at the time of setting. There is no. Therefore, even if the data (operation sequence of the operation key) is erroneously stored, the operator does not notice, and there is a problem that the wrong result may be output when the operation is executed in the normal operation mode. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a cash register device capable of surely confirming that a macro function is registered by executing the macro function in the same manner as during normal operation when setting the macro function. The purpose is to do.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an operation key corresponding to various functions and the operation key.
In a cash register apparatus having a storage unit for storing the operation order of the macro function as a macro function, a macro key corresponding to the macro function, and a registration unit for registering the macro function in the storage unit corresponding to the macro key, as shown in FIG. In addition, the operation order of the operation key 4-2 is used as a macro function for the macro storage unit 3
-2, Macro storage key 4-2 for instructing to store
1 is provided and the macro storage key 4-2-1 is operated to execute the function corresponding to the operation key 4-2 in the same state as in the normal operation, and the macro storage unit 3-
2 is provided with a means for storing.

[0008]

In the present invention, as described above, the operation key 4-2.
Since the means for storing the macro function in the storage unit while executing the function corresponding to is executed in the same state as in normal operation, the execution result is checked on the spot while confirming the operation at the time of registering the macro function. It becomes possible. Therefore,
It is possible to efficiently register a macro function without storing the wrong macro function as in the conventional case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a cash register device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the cash register device includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1, R
An OM (read only memory) 2, a RAM (random access memory) 3, a keyboard 4, a display 5, a printer 6 and the like are provided.

The CPU 1 outputs various commands and commands to peripheral devices such as the display 5 and the printer 6 to control the entire cash register device. The ROM 2 stores necessary constants and programs, and the programs are executed by the CPU 1.
The RAM 3 includes a file 3-1, a macro storage unit 3-2, and a buffer 3-3. The file 3-1 stores data in operation and the macro storage unit 3-2 stores a macro key. The data (the operation sequence of the operation key 4-2) is stored corresponding to each 4--1, and the macro function is registered. Buffer 3-3
The data is temporarily stored in.

The key board 4 is provided with a key for inputting data required for operations such as macro key 4-1 and operation key 4-2. The display 5 displays the processing result, and the processing result can be printed on the printer 6 if necessary.

Next, the procedure for registering the macro function will be described. As an example, a macro function for outputting (printing) a daily total / time zone report will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a report output mode setting screen, where (a) shows the first screen and (b) shows the second screen. First, when the key switch (not shown in the figure) or the operation key 4-2 is operated to request the report output mode, the first display shown in FIG.
The screen is displayed.

The macro memory key 4-2-1 is pressed, and "1" of the operation key 4-2 is pressed to select the daily total report. “1” is stored in the buffer 3-3, and the second screen of FIG. 2B is displayed on the display unit 5. next,
When "2" of the operation key 4-2 is pressed to select the time zone report, the operation key 4-2 is added to the buffer 3-3.
“2” is stored in addition to “1” in FIG. 3, and the printer 6 sells products (A, B, C ,.
...) is time zone (0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, ...
23 to 24) are separately output as daily / time zone reports.

Next, when a predetermined macro key 4-1 is pressed, "1" is moved from the buffer 3-3 to a corresponding location in the macro storage section 3-2 (a location corresponding to the corresponding macro key 4-1).
And "2" are copied and the macro function is registered. During normal operation after registration, simply pressing the corresponding macro key 4-1 will output the daily / time zone report shown in FIG.

As described above, in this embodiment, at the time of registering the macro function, the function corresponding to the operation key 4-2 is executed in the same manner as in the normal operation, and the execution result can be checked on the spot. There is no need to remember the wrong macro function like.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects are expected. Since the means for storing the macro function in the memory while executing the function corresponding to the operation key in the same state as in the normal operation is provided, the execution result can be confirmed while confirming the operation at the time of registering the macro function. It is possible to check on the spot. Therefore,
It is possible to efficiently register a macro function without storing the wrong macro function as in the conventional case.
