[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a store in which sales data of each product purchased by a customer is registered and managed in an electronic cash register, a settlement operation of the electronic cash register is executed every day when business is completed. By this, the data stored in the transaction-specific memory of the electronic cash register,
That is, by printing the data obtained by accumulating the sales amount of each product sold in this one day for each transaction item on the receipt paper by the receipt / journal printer,
I'm getting the settlement report for the day. The store manages daily sales status by storing daily checkout reports.

Further, in a store in which sales data of each product purchased by a customer is registered and managed by a plurality of POS terminals, the settlement work of each POS terminal is executed every day when business is completed. By doing so, a daily settlement report is obtained for each POS terminal, and the data stored in the transaction-specific memory of each POS terminal is collected and aggregated by the host device connected to the line, and the total day I am trying to get the settlement report.

[0004]

However, the settlement report includes cash sales, credit sales, credit sales, and tax amount. For many items such as net sales, total sales, sales by department, sales by cashier, sales by time zone, collection amount, cash amount, deposit amount, withdrawal amount, etc., amount, points (including number of times, number of customers), etc. Since the cumulative data of the above was printed, the record of the settlement report became long and the recording paper was bulky, requiring a large storage space.

When the host device collects the data stored in the transaction-specific memory of each POS terminal, if an uncollectable POS terminal occurs due to a communication error, the operator of the host device determines the POS terminal. According to the printed contents of the settlement report obtained from the above, there was the trouble of inputting the cumulative data of each transaction item one by one from the keyboard.

The present invention has been made under such circumstances, and an object thereof is to shorten the record of the settlement report without reducing the information amount of the data printed on the settlement report and to store the settlement report. A product sales registration data processing device that can be made less bulky and eliminates the trouble of keying in the contents of the settlement report key by item when inputting the data in the transaction memory to the host device. It is the one we are trying to provide.

[0007]

The invention according to claim 1 of the present application has at least a mode switching means for switching between a registration mode and a settlement mode, and in the registration mode, sales data of each merchandise registered for sale is stored in a transaction memory. In the commodity sales registration data processing device that performs cumulative processing for each transaction item and outputs the transaction item data stored in the transaction memory as transaction report data in the transaction mode, creates a two-dimensional code that aggregates the transaction report data. It is provided with a two-dimensional coding means and a settlement two-dimensional code printing means for printing out the two-dimensional code of the settlement report data created by the two-dimensional coding means on a recording paper by a printer.

Further, the invention according to claim 2 of the present application is provided with a clock means for clocking the current date, and the two-dimensional code of the settlement report data created by the two-dimensional encoding means is recorded by the printer together with the current date data by the clock means. It is designed to be printed out on paper.

With this configuration, the transaction item data stored in the transaction transaction memory is printed on the settlement report in the form of a two-dimensional code in which the transaction item data is integrated. Therefore,
It is possible to shorten the record of the settlement report as compared with the conventional method in which the data for each transaction item is printed for each item.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, product registration is performed by reading a product two-dimensional data code, which is a collection of data necessary for product registration, such as a product classification code, unit price, and name, with a two-dimensional data code reader.
The case where the present invention is applied to an OS terminal is shown.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the main part of this POS terminal, in which a CPU (central processing unit) 1 is mounted as a control part main body. A ROM (Read Only Memory) 2 storing fixed data such as programs to the CPU 1 via a bus line 2 such as an address bus and a data bus, and a registration data memory for registering product sales data RAM formed by various types of memory
In addition to the main memory of (random access memory) 3, a clock circuit 4, a host interface 5, an I / O port 6,
The keyboard controller 7, the display controller 8, the printer controller 9 and the two-dimensional data code reader interface 10 are connected to each other, and the POS is connected.
It forms the control circuit of the terminal.

The clock circuit 5 clocks the current date and time and constitutes clocking means. The host interface 6 controls data transmission with a host device (not shown) connected via a communication line. I / O port 7
Inputs a signal from a mode switch 12 which constitutes a mode switching means for switching various work modes such as "registration", "inspection", "payment", and "setting". Further, a drive signal is output to the drawer opening device 13 for automatically opening a drawer (not shown) in response to a command from the CPU 1.

The keyboard controller 8 is provided with various keys such as a numeric key, a subtotal key, a deposit / cash key, a multiplication key, a credit key, a cancel key, a discount key, a deposit key, and a dispense key. The keyboard 14 dedicated to the POS terminal is controlled.
The display controller 9 controls the display 15 that displays the product name of the registered product, the sales amount, the total amount of customers, and the like. The above-mentioned indicator 15 has two for operator and one for customer.
Equipped with a vessel.

The printer controller 10 controls a printer 16 for printing data on receipt paper and journal paper. The printer 16 uses a thermal printing type printer capable of printing a two-dimensional data code. The two-dimensional data code reader interface 11
Is for taking in the two-dimensional data code optically read by the two-dimensional data code reader 17.

Now, this POS terminal has the RAM 4
As shown in Fig. 2, cash sales, credit sales, credit sales,
Transaction-specific memory 41 that cumulatively stores the amount and points (including the number of times and the number of customers) for each transaction item such as tax, net sales, and total sales.
Is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a flag memory 42 for setting and storing the settlement form switching flag F is formed.

Then, the CPU 1 of this POS terminal is
When the "registration" mode is selected by the mode switch 12, each part is controlled as follows. That is, if the product two-dimensional data code read by the two-dimensional data code reader 17 is input via the two-dimensional data code reader interface 11, the product two-dimensional data code is analyzed and the product classification code required for registration, Obtain product data such as product name and unit price. Then, the sales point data and the sales amount data of the corresponding product are registered in the registration data memory of the RAM 4 based on the product data. Further, the product name, the sales amount, etc. are displayed on the display unit 15.

When a key signal is input through the keyboard controller 8, the type of input operation key is discriminated from the key signal and the corresponding key processing is executed. Here, for example, if the input operation key is a deposit / cash total key, the registration closing due to cash transaction has been declared, so the product sales data in the registration data memory is displayed in the cash sales area, net sales area, Accumulates in related areas such as total sales area. Further, the contents of the registration data memory are sent to the printer 16 to be printed on receipt paper and journal paper, and receipt issuance is controlled. Similarly, if the input operation key is the credit key, the registration closing due to the margin transaction has been declared. Therefore, the commodity sales data in the registration data memory is transferred to the margin sales area, net sales area, and total sales area of the transaction-specific memory 41. Etc. are cumulatively processed in related areas.
Further, the contents of the registration data memory are sent to the printer 16 to be printed on receipt paper and journal paper, and receipt issuance is controlled.

The CPU 1 has a mode switch 1
When the "payment" mode is selected by step 2, the following parts are controlled. That is, if the key signal of the deposit / cash total key is input through the keyboard controller 8, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG.
As ST (step) 1, 1 reads each data of item name, point, and amount in the transaction-specific memory 41 in order of transaction item to create settlement report data. Next, in ST2, the settlement report data is displayed on the display device 15, and in ST3, it is transmitted to the host device via the host interface 6.

Next, the CPU 1 checks the settlement form switching flag F of the flag memory 42 in ST4. Here, if the flag F is set to "1", receipt report printing of the settlement report data is designated, so that the above-mentioned settlement report data is printed in the printer 1 in step ST5.
It is sent to 6 and printed out on receipt paper. On the other hand, when the flag F is set to "0", receipt printing of the settlement report data is not designated, and therefore the process of ST5 is not performed. The setting / resetting of the payment form switching flag F can be arbitrarily switched by, for example, selecting the "setting" mode by the mode switch 12 and selecting the flag setting operation by inputting a predetermined key on the keyboard 14. There is.

Thereafter, the CPU 1 creates a two-dimensional data code in which the above-mentioned settlement report data are collected in ST6 (two-dimensional coding means). Then, in ST7, the two-dimensional data code is sent to the printer 16,
Print out on receipt paper. Further, in ST8, the current date data counted by the clock circuit 5 is read out, sent as the settlement date data to the printer 16 and printed out on the receipt paper, and then the receipt paper is issued as a settlement report (settlement 2 Dimension code printing means). afterwards,
If the score and amount data in the transaction memory 41 are cleared to "0" in ST9, this process is terminated.

The PO of this embodiment configured as described above
In the S terminal, by resetting the settlement form switching flag F of the flag memory 42 to “0” in advance, the settlement items are executed to collect the data for each transaction item accumulated in the transaction memory 41. The generated two-dimensional data code is printed out on the receipt paper together with the data of the corresponding settlement date, and the settlement report as shown in FIG. 5A is issued.

Further, by setting the settlement form switching flag F of the flag memory 42 to "1" in advance, by executing the settlement business, together with the data for each transaction item accumulated and stored in the transaction memory 41, A two-dimensional data code in which data is collected is printed out on a receipt paper, and a settlement report as shown in FIG. 5B is issued. In addition, in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the data [POS No. 01] is an identification code unique to the POS terminal, and is data [TM. 21:02] is the issue time of the report.

As described above, according to the POS terminal of the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code in which the data for each transaction item accumulated and stored in the transaction memory 41 is collected by executing the settlement operation is created. Since the dimension code is printed out on the receipt paper by the printer 16 to obtain the settlement report, it is possible to shorten the record of the settlement report without reducing the information amount of the data printed on the settlement report. As a result, daily checkout reports can be stored without bulk. In addition, the receipt paper can be saved and the time required to print the settlement report can be shortened.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the current date measured by the clock circuit 5 is printed as the settlement date together with the two-dimensional code in which the data for each transaction item is collected. Therefore, it is possible to immediately confirm the settlement report from this settlement date.

Further, according to the present embodiment, as long as the setting of the settlement form switching flag F is changed, the settlement report in which the data for each transaction item is printed together with the two-dimensional data code can be issued. It can be used properly and is practical. It should be noted that instead of using the settlement form switching flag F to switch by software, for example, the keyboard 1
You may make it switch by hardware by the specific key input of 4. By doing so, it becomes possible to select the form settlement report shown in FIG. 5A and the form settlement report shown in FIG. 5B more easily.

By the way, in the host device connected to each POS terminal by a communication line, the settlement report data transmitted from each POS terminal is totaled to obtain a one-day settlement report for the entire store. Therefore, if the settlement report data is not transmitted from each POS terminal due to the disconnection of the communication line or the like, the daily settlement report of the entire store cannot be obtained.

Therefore, a two-dimensional data code reader is connected to the host device, and when communication is abnormal, the two-dimensional data code of the settlement report issued by each POS terminal is read by the reader and developed on the memory of the host device. To configure. By doing so, it becomes possible to collect and aggregate the settlement report data of each POS terminal without the need to input data by complicated key operation.

Further, when the settlement report shown in FIG. 5A is stored, it is desirable that the contents of the two-dimensional data code (data for each transaction item) can be visually confirmed later. Therefore, in the POS terminal of this embodiment, for example, in the “inspection” mode, it is possible to select a check report inquiry service
When this inquiry work is selected, the two-dimensional data code of the settlement report read by the two-dimensional data code reader 17 is expanded in the RAM 4 and displayed on the display unit 15. By doing so, the contents of the two-dimensional data code can be easily confirmed.

Although the two-dimensional data code is used as the two-dimensional code in the above-mentioned embodiment, the same operational effect can be obtained by using the two-dimensional bar code. Further, the settlement report may be printed on the journal paper instead of the receipt paper. In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the scope of the present invention, such as using the present invention in a single electronic cash register.

[0030]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
The record of the checkout report can be shortened without reducing the amount of information printed on the checkout report, so that the checkout report can be stored without being bulky, the recording paper can be saved, and the checkout report printing time can be saved. Can be shortened.

Further, when inputting the data of the transaction memory into the host device, the trouble of inputting the contents of the settlement report key by item is eliminated, and the operation load can be greatly reduced.
