Therefore, the CPU 213 is programmed so as to execute the processes shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. That is, first, as ST (step) 1, the operation waits until the ticket issuing button 203 is operated and input. Then, the ticket issuing button 203 input to the I / O unit 216
When the operation input of the ticket issuing button 203 is detected by the signal, the ticket issuing mode is designated, and therefore the issue amount area 215a and the deposit amount area 215b of the RAM 215 are cleared to "0". Also, the card presence flag f in the flag area 215c is reset to "0".

Next, as ST2, the flag area 21 is set.
The card presence / absence flag f of 5c is checked. In this case, since the flag f has been reset, whether the shopping card 1 is inserted into the card insertion slot 201 at ST3 or whether a bill or coin is inserted at the bill insertion slot 205 or the coin insertion slot 206 at ST4. As ST5, the operation waits until the ticket issuing button 203 or the cancel button 204 is operated and input.

When the insertion of the shopping card 1 is detected by the signal of the card insertion sensor 207 input to the card processing unit 218 in ST3, the flag area 215c is set.
Set the card presence flag f of "1" to
The card processing unit 218 is instructed to drive the card transport mechanism 208 to be loaded, and the shopping card 1 inserted into the card slot 201 is taken into the interior. Then, the card processing unit 218 is instructed to drive the reading of the magnetic head 209, the magnetic recording data of the shopping card 1 is read, and the balance data X is acquired. When the balance data X is larger than "0", the balance data X is added to the amount data A in the issue amount area 215a. If the balance data X is "0", the above process is not performed.

After that, the amount data A of the issue amount area 215a is displayed on the amount display 202, and ST2
Return to However, in this case, since the card presence / absence flag f is set, the processing for determining whether or not the shopping card 1 is inserted in ST3 is not performed, and the processing for determining whether or not to deposit is ST4 and ST.
Only the button input presence / absence determination process of 5 is performed.

In ST4, when it is confirmed by a signal from the money amount counting unit 217 that a bill or a coin has been inserted into the bill insertion port 205 or the coin insertion port 206, the insertion amount data counted by this money amount counting unit 217. Get Y. Then, the input amount data Y is added to the amount data A in the issued amount area 215a and the amount data B in the input amount area 215b.

Then, the amount data A of the issue amount area 215a is displayed on the amount display 202, and ST2
Return to Incidentally, in this case, if the card presence / absence flag f is not set, each judgment processing of ST3, ST4, ST5 is performed, and if the same flag f is set,
Only the determination process of ST4 and ST5 is performed.

In ST5, when the operation input of the ticket issuing button 203 is detected by the signal of the ticket issuing button 203 input to the I / O unit 216, the ticket issuing of the shopping card 1 is instructed. Thus, the card presence / absence flag f is checked. When the flag f is set to "1", the shopping card 1 that has already issued a ticket is inserted from the card insertion / ejection slot 201, and therefore the card processing unit 218 is instructed to write drive the magnetic head 209. Then, this shopping card 1
The balance data X is updated to the issue amount data A in the issue amount area 215a.

On the other hand, when the flag f is reset to "0", since the shopping card 1 which has already issued a ticket is not inserted from the card insertion / ejection slot 201, the card processing section 218 stores the card stocker 210 in the card stocker 210. The sending drive is instructed to send out one unissued shopping card 1 in the stocker 210, and the writing drive of the magnetic head 209 is instructed to issue the unissued shopping card 1 to the issue amount area 215.
The issue amount data A in a is recorded as balance data X.

Thereafter, the card processing section 218 is instructed to drive the card transport mechanism 208 to be carried out, and the shopping card 1 which has been issued or has not yet been issued is ejected from the card insertion / ejection slot 201, and the card presence / absence flag f is set to "0". If reset, this process ends.

On the other hand, when the operation input of the cancel button 204 is detected by the signal of the cancel button 204 input to the I / O unit 216 in ST5, the cancellation of the ticket issuing of the shopping card 1 is instructed. As shown in 6, the card presence / absence flag f is checked. When the flag f is set to “1”, the shopping card 1 that has already issued a ticket is inserted from the card insertion / removal slot 201, so the card processing unit 218.
Is instructed to drive out the card transport mechanism 208, the shopping card 1 is ejected from the card insertion slot 201, and the card presence / absence flag f is reset to "0". If the flag f is reset to "0", the above process is not performed. After that, if a payout command for the amount corresponding to the input amount data B in the input amount area 215b is given to the banknote sorter 211 and the coin sorter 212 via the amount counting unit 217, the present process is terminated. By the way, the banknote sorter 2
The 11 and coin sorter 212 discharges a bill or a coin having an amount corresponding to the payout command from the bill insertion slot 205 or the coin insertion slot 206.

In the prepaid card ticket issuing apparatus 2 having such a structure, after selecting the ticket issuing mode of the shopping card by operating the ticket issuing button 203, a banknote is inserted from the banknote slot 205 or a coin is inserted from the coin slot 206. When the card is inserted and the ticket issuing button 203 is operated again, one unissued shopping card 1 is taken out from the card stocker 210. Then, the total amount of the bills and coins inserted into the shopping card 1 is magnetically recorded as the balance data X and is discharged from the card insertion / removal slot 201.

In addition, in the ticket issuing mode, while the shopping card 1 that has already issued a ticket is inserted into the card slot 201,
After inserting a bill from the bill insertion slot 205 or inserting a coin from the coin insertion slot 206, when the ticketing button 203 is operated and input, the balance data X of the ticketed shopping card 1
Is updated to an amount obtained by adding the total amount of the inserted banknotes and coins to the amount of the balance data, and is discharged from the card insertion slot 201.

In the ticket issuing mode, the ticket issuing button 203
If the cancel button 204 is operated before inputting, the banknotes and coins inserted up to that point are respectively inserted into the banknote slot 20.
5 and coins 206 are returned. Further, when the already issued shopping card 1 is inserted into the card slot 201, the shopping card 1 is also discharged from the card slot 201 without updating the balance data X.

As described above, the prepaid card issuing device 2 according to this embodiment has the bill insertion slot 20 for inserting a bill.
5 and coin insertion slot 206 for inserting coins, and an insertion amount summing means (CPU 213, issue amount area 2) for summing the amounts of coins inserted through these insertion ports 205, 206.
15a) and a ticketing button 20 for instructing ticketing of the shopping card 1
3 and a ticket issuing control means (CPU 213) for issuing a shopping card in which the total amount of insertion calculated by the total amount of insertion amount is recorded as balance data when the ticket issuing button 203 is instructed. Mouth 205,2
It is possible to issue the shopping card 1 having a face value equal to the total amount of coins inserted from 06, and the shopping card 1 can be acquired regardless of the amount of money held. As a result, the popularity of the shopping card 1 can be increased.

Further, since the total amount of money inserted from the insertion ports 205 and 206 is recorded as the balance data of the shopping card 1, the change calculation and payout functions are unnecessary. Therefore, the software for change calculation and the hardware for the change payout mechanism can be eliminated, so that the configuration can be simplified. Moreover, since it is not necessary to prepare a change fund for the shopping card issuing device 2, the work required for maintenance can be simplified.

Further, the prepaid card issuing device 2 according to the present embodiment has a shopping card reader / writer (card processing unit 218, card transport mechanism 208, magnetic head 20).
9) is provided, and when ticketing is instructed by the ticketing button 203,
The purchase card is issued with the balance data being the sum of the total amount of the input money calculated by the input amount summing means and the amount of the balance data X of the shopping card 1 read by the reader / writer. Therefore, it is possible to issue a prepaid card having a face value that is the sum of the cash data inserted from the insertion ports 205 and 206 to the balance data of the ticketed shopping card 1, and the balance of the ticketed shopping card 1 becomes small. However, the balance is not wasted, and the popularity of the shopping card 1 can be increased in this respect as well.

Further, in this case, the shopping card 1 to be issued the ticket has the balance data of the ticketed shopping card 1 inserted in the card insertion / removal slot 201 added to the amount of the balance data X of the shopping card 1 and the total amount of money inserted. It is rewritten and updated to a total amount of the total input amount calculated by the means. Therefore, since one shopping card 1 can be repeatedly used, the shopping card 1 is not wastefully discarded.

When the end of registration of the merchandise sales data in one transaction is declared by the input of the closing key 86, the program is configured to execute the closing key process shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, when this tightening key process is started, first,
If it is confirmed in ST1 that the merchandise for one transaction has been registered, for example, from the state of the registration flag set in response to the first merchandise registration in one transaction, the data N in the total purchase amount area 93 is determined in ST2. In other words, the total price of all the sales products registered in this one transaction is displayed on the display device 315.

Next, as ST3, the card reader / writer 3
18 is commanded to be read, and the card reader / writer 3
The magnetic recording data (balance data X, accumulated payment data T) of the shopping card 1 attached to 18 is read, the balance data X is stored in the card balance area 94, and the accumulated payment data T is stored in the accumulated payment amount area 95. To do. Further, the data Q of the accumulated payment amount area 95, that is, the accumulated payment data T is divided by the threshold amount H of the threshold amount area 91, and the integer u of the quotient is stored in the first work area 96. If the shopping card is not attached to the card reader / writer 318 in ST3, the card reader / writer 318 waits until it is attached, and if it is confirmed by the signal from the card reader / writer 318, the above processing is performed. Run.

Next, as ST4, the total purchase amount area 9
3 data N, that is, the total amount of all the sales products registered in this one transaction, and the data P of the card balance area 94,
In other words, the amount of balance data magnetically recorded on the shopping card 1 is compared (amount comparison means).

As a result, when the data P is equal to or more than the data N, the balance of the shopping card 1 can cover the payment of the purchased merchandise of this transaction, so that the total purchase amount is calculated from the data P in the card balance area 94 as ST5. The data N in the amount area 93 is subtracted, and the data N in the total purchase amount area 93 is added to the data Q in the accumulated payment amount area 95 (first card payment control means).

Next, the amount Q obtained by adding the total purchase amount N of the current transaction to the data Q in the accumulated payment amount area 95, that is, the accumulated payment data T is divided by the threshold amount H,
The integer v of the quotient is stored in the second work area 97. Then, as ST6, the data u in the first work area 96
And the data v in the second work area 97 are compared (cumulative payment determination means). If the data v is larger than the data u, the cumulative payment data T exceeds the unit of the threshold amount of money H due to the purchase this time. Therefore, in ST7, the data P of the card balance area 94 is added to the service of the service amount area 92. The amount S is added (privilege grant means).

After that, the balance data X of the shopping card 1 mounted on the card reader / writer 318 is rewritten and updated to the data P of the card balance area 94, and the cumulative payment data T of the shopping card 1 is updated to the cumulative payment amount. Area 9
If the data Q of 5 is rewritten and updated, the printer 316
Then, the receipt of the transaction is printed and issued, and the closing key process is completed.

On the other hand, in ST4, the total purchase amount area 93
If the data N is larger than the data P in the card balance area 94, the balance of the shopping card 1 is insufficient for the price of the purchased product in this transaction, so the difference between the data N and the data P is set as a shortage in ST8. It is displayed on the display device 315 (insufficient amount notifying means). Then, in ST9, the process waits for the deposit amount data M to be input.

Here, if it is confirmed that the deposit amount data M has been input by the numeral keys 81 and the deposit key 85,
The deposit amount data M is stored in the data P in the card balance area 94.
Is added and the process returns to ST4. As a result, if the data P becomes the data N or more, payment is possible, so ST5
The subsequent processing is executed (second card payment control means).
If the data P is still less than the data N,
Proceed to ST8 to display the remaining shortfall.

In the merchandise sales registration data processing device 3 having such a configuration, after the registration of all merchandise purchased by one customer, the closing key 86 is operated to declare the end of registration of one transaction.
The total amount N of all the sales commodities registered in the one transaction stored in the total purchase amount area 93 is displayed on the display unit 315. Here, assuming that the shopping card 1 in which the balance data X and the accumulated payment data T are magnetically recorded is attached to the card reader / writer 318, the amount of the balance data X and the total amount N are compared. . When the amount of the balance data X is equal to or more than the total amount N, the balance data X of the shopping card 1 is updated to the amount of the balance data X minus the total amount N, and the payment is completed. To do.

On the other hand, when the amount of money in the balance data X is less than the total amount N, the difference (NP) is displayed on the display unit 15 as an insufficient amount. Here, when the deposit amount data M is input by the numerical keys 81 and the deposit key 85, the amount of the deposit amount data M is added to the amount of the balance data X, and the added amount and the total amount N are compared. It When the added amount is equal to or more than the total amount N, that is, when the amount equal to or more than the difference between the amount of the balance data X and the total amount N is input as the deposit amount data M, the balance data X of the shopping card 1 is calculated. The total amount N is reduced from the added amount, and the payment is completed.

In this way, when the payment is completed, the current total amount N is added to the total payment data T of the shopping card 1. Then, as a result of adding up the total amount N of money this time, when the amount of the accumulated payment data T reaches the unit of the preset threshold amount H, the service preset in the balance data X of the shopping card 1 concerned. The amount S is added. For example, if "10000" is set as the threshold amount H and "100" is set as the service amount S, 1 of the accumulated payment data T is set when the payment is completed.
If the tens place is increased, v> u is established, and thus the data “100” is added to the balance data X.

As described above, in the merchandise sales registration data processing device 3 in this embodiment, when the registration end of one transaction is declared by the closing key 86, the amount of the balance data X read from the shopping card 1 by the card reader / writer 318. And the total amount N stored in the total purchase amount area 93 are compared. When the amount of the balance data X is equal to or more than the total amount N, the balance data X of the shopping card 1 is updated to the amount of the balance data X minus the total amount N. On the other hand, when the amount of the balance data X is less than the total amount N, the difference is notified as a shortage amount, and thereafter, the deposit amount data M equal to or more than the shortage amount is input by the numeral keys 81 and the deposit key 85. And the balance data X of the shopping card 1,
The total amount N is reduced from the sum of the amount of the balance data X and the amount of the deposit amount data M to be updated.

As a result, not only when the amount of the balance data X magnetically recorded on the shopping card 1 is equal to or more than the total purchase amount N, but when the amount of the balance data X is insufficient to the total purchase amount N, the shortage is caused. By keying in the deposit amount data M equal to or more than the amount, the balance data X is automatically increased by the deposit amount data M and used for payment of the total purchase amount N, so that no change occurs in the accounting work.

Therefore, the accountant does not need to collect the cash equivalent to the change amount from the drawer 312, so that the burden can be reduced and the processing efficiency of the accounting operation can be improved. Further, it is not necessary to prepare a change fund in the drawer 312, and the cash received from the customer whose balance data of the shopping card 1 is insufficient is stored in the drawer 312, so the amount of money to be stored is small. And the risk of being robbed is reduced.

Even if the balance data X of the shopping card 1 is insufficient, the balance data X can be increased by a simple operation of keying in the deposit amount data M, so that one shopping card 1 can be used repeatedly. can do. Therefore, if the customer does not need to be aware of the balance of the shopping card 1 and is short of money, he / she can simply submit the appropriate money to the store side, and the payment can be completed easily. There is no need to dispose of the card that became "and purchase a new card. Therefore, the popularity of the shopping card 1 can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the payment cumulative data T together with the balance data X is recorded in the shopping card 1, and when the payment by the shopping card 1 is completed in the product sales registration data processing device 3, this product sales registration is carried out. The data processing device 3 adds the total amount N of the purchased products this time to the accumulated payment data T of the shopping card 1. Then, when it is detected that the accumulated payment data T after addition exceeds the unit of the preset threshold amount H, the predetermined service amount S is added to the balance data X of the shopping card 1, The benefits can be automatically granted.

Therefore, the more the customer pays for the purchased merchandise by using the shopping card 1, the more privilege the customer can receive. Therefore, the popularity of the shopping card 1 can be increased and many customers can enjoy the privilege. You can expect to increase the sales of the store by becoming able to grab fixed customers.
