Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration data processing device having a receipt issuing function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a commodity sales registration data processing apparatus represented by an ECR (electronic cash register) or a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal, in addition to a normal sales information processing function such as issuing a receipt, a receipt is received. Some have a publishing function. For example, on a POS terminal equipped with a receipt issuing function, if the customer requests receipt issuance during the product registration process, if the receipt key is pressed to issue a receipt, the total sales amount for that transaction will be A receipt printed as a receipt is issued. In addition, the customer may request receipt issuance at a time later than the product registration processing (for example, at a later date). It is designed to issue a receipt.

In addition, when issuing a receipt, if the amount of receipt exceeds the amount prescribed by law (the required amount of stamps, for example, 30,000 yen), it is obliged to attach a revenue stamp to the issued receipt. There is. Therefore, when the receipt amount exceeds the required stamp amount and the revenue stamp needs to be pasted in the receipt issuing business, the cashier takes out the revenue stamp.

[0004]

According to the conventional receipt issuing specification, a receipt is issued by instructing receipt issuance and keying in the receipt amount. As a result, fraudulent transactions will be issued a receipt, or even if there is an actual transaction, a receipt with an arbitrary receipt amount higher than the total sales amount of the transaction will be issued. It is not preferable because it may happen.

By issuing the fictitious receipt as described above, it is possible to illegally take out the revenue stamp. That is, since the revenue stamp has a cash value,
There is a possibility that income stamps may be illegally taken out for cashing due to the cashier of a part-time job. However, the revenue stamps are practically managed regardless of actual transactions, and even if such illegal revenue stamps are taken out, it is difficult to detect them.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a receipt printed with sales information including information such as transaction serial number and total sales amount is issued for each transaction, and the sales information is stored in the storage means. And, in the product sales registration data processing device that issues a receipt based on the instruction of the receipt issuing instruction means, an association storage means that stores the transaction serial number and the total sales amount in association with each other. , A search means for searching a corresponding transaction from the correspondence storage means by inputting a transaction serial number when a receipt is issued, and a receipt printed with the total sales amount of the transactions searched by this search means as a receipt amount. A receipt issue management means for permitting issuance is provided.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the product sales registration data processing apparatus according to the first aspect, a stamp sheet number storage means for storing information on the number of retained revenue stamp sheets and a receipt amount when the receipt is issued The number-of-stamps managing means for updating the number-of-printed-sheets information stored in the number-of-stamps storing means each time a predetermined required stamp amount is exceeded.

[0008]

In the invention according to claim 1, when the customer requests the issuance of the receipt, the receipt issued in the target transaction is brought and presented to the cashier. In response to this, the cashier instructs the issuance of the receipt and inputs the transaction serial number printed on the presented receipt, so that the retrieval means retrieves the corresponding transaction from the correspondence storage means. As a result of the search, if there is a corresponding transaction, a receipt in which the total sales amount of the transaction is printed as the receipt amount is issued. That is, the transaction serial number printed on the receipt is used as a key to search the correspondence storage means by the search means, and the receipt issuance permission means permits the issuance of the receipt based on the search result. A receipt will only be issued if it does. At the same time, since the received amount is the total sales amount of the transaction stored in the association storage means, the received amount will not be arbitrarily changed. Further, in the case of a fictitious transaction, a corresponding transaction cannot be found depending on the entered transaction serial number, so a receipt cannot be issued.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the receipt amount exceeds the required stamp amount at the time of issuing the receipt, the number-of-stamps updating unit updates the number-of-possessed-sheets stored in the number-of-stamps storing unit each time, The current information on the number of possessed sheets is always maintained. Here, since the receipt is correctly issued in the invention according to claim 1 by the receipt amount based on the actual transaction and the total sales amount thereof, the update processing of the number-of-holds information is also correctly performed in conjunction with the normal receipt issuing operation. The number of revenue stamps that should be held now can be managed accurately. Therefore, if the revenue stamp is brought out without permission based on the transaction, the revenue stamp is immediately detected, so that the unauthorized removal of the revenue stamp is prevented.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The product sale registration data processing device of this embodiment is applied to a POS terminal 1 as shown in FIG. 2, for example.
This POS terminal 1 is mounted on a drawer 2, and has a structure having a keyboard 3, a display 4, a receipt / journal printer 5 and a hand scanner 6 on the upper part of the main body. In addition, a prepaid card terminal 7 is installed side by side beside the POS terminal 1.

Here, the receipt / journal printer 5 is built in the upper portion of the main body, and a receipt issuing port 5a and a journal confirmation window 5b are formed on the upper surface of the main body. Further, although the POS terminal 1 of this embodiment has a receipt issuing function, the receipt / journal printer 5 is also used as a receipt issuing printer, and the receipt issuing port 5a is also used as a receipt issuing port. There is.
Therefore, the receipt paper is also used as the receipt paper, and when the receipt is issued, the receipt amount is printed on the receipt paper together with the letters “receipt”.

On the keyboard 3, in addition to a numeric keypad,
Various keys such as a subtotal key, a current total key, and a receipt key are provided. The receipt key is a declaration key for instructing the receipt issuance based on the receipt request from the customer, and serves as a receipt issuance instruction means.

Next, the schematic configuration of the electrical equipment control system of the POS terminal 1 will be described with reference to FIG. First, a CPU 8 is provided which performs various information processing while controlling the whole. This C
The PU 8, the drawer 2, the keyboard 3, the display 4, and the receipt / journal printer 5 are connected to the PU 8 via a bus and a control line, as well as the ROM 9 and the RAM 10. Information such as various programs is fixedly stored in the ROM 9. The RAM 10 stores various information as appropriate. Further, under the control of the CPU 8, there are provided a search means, a receipt issue management means, and a stamp sheet number management means for executing the processes described later in the receipt issuing work.

The RAM 10 has an internal buffer 11 serving as storage means and correspondence storage means as shown in FIG. The internal buffer 11 is a memory area in which the sales information printed on the receipt 12 after the receipt 12 is issued is stored in a transaction unit. For each transaction unit, for example, a transaction serial number column 13a, a product information column 13b, and a total sales amount. A file for the amount column 13c is created. That is, a file in which the transaction serial number column 13a and the total sales amount column 13c are associated with each transaction unit is created. Further, the internal buffer 11 is set to have a capacity capable of storing sales information of, for example, 10,000 transactions as a whole.

The RAM 10 also has a stamp memory 14 as a stamp sheet number storage means as shown in FIG. The stamp memory 14 is formed as a 4-byte memory area for storing the number of used revenue stamps as information on the current number of retained stamps, and is initially set to 0. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the explanation,
The required stamp amount is set to 30,000 yen, for example, and if the receipt amount exceeds 30,000 yen, it is necessary to attach the revenue stamp to the receipt.

In such a configuration, every time a customer purchases a product and performs product registration processing at the cash register, the receipt 12 printed with the sales information as shown in FIG. Published by. In the receipt 12 shown in FIG. 4, “12345” is a transaction serial number for identifying a transaction, “total ¥ 250” is the total sales amount, and “chocolate ¥ 200” and “gum ¥ 50” are product information. There is. When the receipt 12 is issued, the corresponding sales information is stored in the internal buffer 1 in the RAM 10.
It is stored in 1.

Next, the processing and control when the customer issues a receipt issuance will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. In response to the receipt issuance request, the cashier presses the receipt key on the keyboard 3 to instruct the receipt issuance (step S1), and the following processing is performed. First, the receipt 1 for which the customer is to issue a receipt
Ask for presentation 2. The cashier inputs the transaction serial number printed on the presented receipt 12 using the ten keys on the keyboard 3. When the input of the transaction serial number is recognized (S2), the internal buffer 11 is searched using this transaction serial number as a key. In this search process (S3), if a file with the corresponding transaction serial number exists, the receipt is allowed to be issued on the condition that step S4 (described later) is cleared. The amount of money is read out and the total amount of sales is determined as the amount of receipt (S5). Thereafter, a receipt with the determined amount of receipt is issued by the receipt / journal printer 5 (S8) (steps S6 and S7 will be described later). The processing shown in steps S2, S3 and S5
Under the control of U8, it is executed by the search means and the receipt issue management means.

In this case, the transaction serial number printed on the receipt 12 is used as a key to search the internal buffer 11 to permit the issuance of the receipt, so that there is an actual transaction (the receipt 12 must be issued). The receipt is issued only. Conversely, in the case of fictitious transactions, even if you enter the transaction serial number, the corresponding transaction cannot be found as a result of the search, so the receipt is not permitted and the receipt for the fictitious transaction is issued. There is no. Further, the amount of receipt is determined by the total sales amount information of the transaction obtained by searching the internal buffer 11 by the transaction serial number.
The receipt amount cannot be operated arbitrarily, and only the receipt with the correct receipt amount based on the actual transaction is issued. That is, an illegal receipt of the receipt amount is not issued as in the case where the receipt amount is directly keyed.

If the customer carries the same receipt 12 a plurality of times and requests receipt issuance, the same receipt will be repeatedly issued. In order to prevent such an adverse effect, for example, the receipt 12 used for issuing the receipt may be stamped with a receipt issued. Alternatively,
As shown in FIG. 1, when a receipt is issued, information (flag) indicating that the receipt has been issued is added to the file of the transaction, and as a result of the search by the search means,
When the corresponding file exists (S3), it is determined whether or not the file is searched for the first time (S4),
If it is not the first time, the receipt issuance may be prohibited.

By the way, in the present embodiment, when the receipt is issued, if the amount of receipt exceeds 30,000 yen, a revenue stamp must be attached to the receipt. Therefore, after the receipt amount is determined (S3 or S5), it is determined whether or not the receipt amount exceeds 30,000 yen (S6), and if the receipt amount exceeds 30,000 yen, it is necessary to attach a revenue stamp. A message to that effect is displayed and the cashier is prompted to attach a stamp. According to this instruction, the cashier takes out the revenue stamp, attaches it to the issued receipt and hands it to the customer. If the amount of receipt exceeds 30,000 yen, the used number information of the stamp memory 14 in the RAM 10 is incremented by 1 (S7). That is, the number-of-uses information of the stamp memory 14 is incremented and updated one by one each time a receipt with a receipt amount of more than 30,000 yen is issued, and the number of used sheets that should have been taken up to the present Be kept informed. The processing shown in steps S6 and S7 is executed by the number-of-printed-sheets managing unit under the control of the CPU 8.

In this case, as described above, the receipt is correctly issued based on the actual transaction and the total sales amount of the receipt, and the receipt number is used in conjunction with the normal receipt issuing work. Update processing is also performed correctly. Therefore, since the POS terminal 1 knows the number of sheets that should have been used up to the present, it is possible to accurately manage the number of sheets that should remain. In order to know the actual information stored in the stamp memory 14, for example, when outputting the settlement report,
The content stored in the stamp memory 14 may be printed. As a result, for example, even if the cashier of a part-time job tries to bring out the revenue stamp without depending on the transaction, it is immediately detected, so that the unauthorized removal of the revenue stamp is prevented.

In the present embodiment, the number of used sheets of revenue stamps is added to the stamp memory 14 to manage the number of sheets to be held, but conversely, the number of sheets of original stamp information is stored in the stamp memory 14. Alternatively, the information may be managed by sequentially decrementing the possessed sheet number information each time a receipt having a receipt amount exceeding 30,000 yen is issued. Further, when there are a plurality of types of stamp pasting amounts and income stamp amounts, a stamp memory may be provided for each face value and the processing shown in steps S6 and S7 may be prepared for each stamp pasting amount.

Further, in the present embodiment, the total sales amount to be the received amount is explained as an example not including the tax such as the consumption tax. However, the total amount of the sales including the tax such as the consumption tax is taken as the received amount. You may do it.

In the present embodiment, the association storage means is also provided as the storage means, but it may be provided separately.

Further, in this embodiment, the receipt / journal printer 5 is also used as a printer for issuing receipts, but it can be similarly applied to a printer provided with a dedicated printer.

[0026]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a receipt printed with sales information including information such as a transaction serial number and total sales amount is issued for each transaction, and the sales information is stored in the storage means. Further, in the product sales registration data processing device which issues a receipt based on the instruction of the receipt issuing instruction means, an association storage means for storing the transaction serial number and the total sales amount in association with each other, and a receipt. A search means for searching a corresponding transaction from the correspondence storage means by inputting a transaction serial number when issuing a document issuance, and issuing a receipt in which the total sales amount of the transactions searched by this search means is printed as a receipt amount. Since the receipt issuance management means for permitting is provided, the receipt can be issued only when there is an actual transaction, and at the same time, the receipt amount is stored in the association storage means. Since it is determined in the sales total amount of which was not the deal, only the receipt of the correct receipt amount can be issued, and it is possible to prevent the issue of illegal receipt by the fictitious transactions.

According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the configuration of the product sales registration data processing device of the invention of claim 1,
A number-of-stamps storage unit that stores information on the number of retained revenue stamps, and a number-of-stamps management unit that updates the number of retained stamps of the number-of-stamps storage unit each time the receipt amount exceeds a predetermined required stamp amount when a receipt is issued. Since the above is provided, it is possible to correctly update the information on the number of retained stamps in tandem with the normal receipt issuing business, and it is possible to always accurately manage the current number of retained revenue stamps. If you take out the revenue stamp without permission, you will be immediately discovered, so you can prevent unauthorized removal of the revenue stamp.
