Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a handle-mix-match sales method applied to clothing-related commodities in a POS system. CONSTITUTION: The articles of clothing (shirts in this case) which are handle- mix-match object commodities are registered by a certain fixed operation. A definition number (e.g. three articles) and a handle-mix-match processing are declared. Thereafter, the definition number of articles of object commodity (e.g. shirts) are registered. The processing is considered as the increase of loads onto an operator (the selection of the object commodity and the registration of every object commodity, etc.), at a glance, however, it is necessary for the improvement of the accuracy of data for every single item management which is the proposition of the POS system. As a measure for the improvement of the accuracy of the data, the system of bar code labels for managing the object commodity is considered, the operation is simplified (the operator is not required to be conscious of an established price) and item data are made more detailed (the management of colors and sizes, etc.).

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a POS system, and more particularly to a handle mix match for clothing in a POS system, which is one of handle mix matches (collective sale) in a store system. Regarding control method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As one of sales forms of products in the retail business, there is a sales method by handle mix match.

This selling method is generally for products such as food and sundries, and for clothing,
The actual situation is that it is done manually (by the judgment and operation of the POS cash register registrant).

Even in the case of handle mix match sales for such clothing, a processing method for obtaining the correct selling price, the number of sales, and the like as well as food and miscellaneous goods is required.

[0005] There is a sales system in which a certain product is bought in bulk at a discount. For example, if you buy three items each with a fixed price of 100 yen at once, it costs 260 yen. This sales method is called handle mix sales, and the target products are called handle mix products.

At present, various systems have been established by each company for groceries, miscellaneous goods, etc., which simplifies the registration operation at the POS cashier terminal, displays the product selling price, and makes a receipt. The improvement of the printing method on the and the setting method as a handle mix match product have been devised.

However, with respect to clothing, since the above systemization has not been carried out, the operator at the cash register, as in the past, selects clothing and a handle mix match target product from the customer's sales product group. , The operation of inputting the set discount / sale price after discount is performed.

In addition, in this process, the products are registered by classification (classification of products into groups), and it is no longer possible to manage individual item information, which is one of the main purposes of the POS system. Is.

[0009]

As described above, in the handle mix sales for clothing, the following problems in the conventional selling method are still unsolved. (1) The necessity of recognizing the product, the number, and the selling price of all the handle products (memorization, list matching, etc.). (2) A request for a registration operation different from that of a normal product. (3) Missing data in product analysis due to single product registration and collection of single product information, which is one of the main purposes of the POS system. Therefore, in order to match these with the original purpose of the POS system, an attempt is made to realize a processing method of the same level as food products and miscellaneous goods.

[0010]

According to the handle mix match control system of the present invention, a POS for registering a product determined to calculate the price of a purchased product in response to the purchase of a predetermined number of products. A terminal device, means for inputting data on the product, means for determining that the corresponding product has been input by the input means, and means for determining that the corresponding product has reached the target product score, each product registration A control means is provided for displaying that the product is a handle mix match target product, that a certain number of points have been reached, and that the price of the product has been calculated.

[0011]

The present invention is realized by the following two processing methods.

Basically, clothing items are intended to be managed individually by a two-stage bar code (management by item, color, size, amount of money).

The first method is a method in which the first goal is to obtain single item information, and the register operation requires some operator judgment.

After the operator judges the selection of the handle mix match product and declares the handle mix match process for clothing, the target products are registered one by one, so that the handle mix match process is started and the discount / discount process is performed. Create data for information acquisition.

The second method is a method in which information on a single item is acquired and at the same time reduction of register operation is taken into consideration.

In the case of this method, the recognition process of the handle mix match product is not particularly judged by the operator as in the case of food products, miscellaneous goods, etc., and the registration process is performed in the same manner as the normal product. In this case, in terms of a system, a master file for handle mix match products (designation of target products, settings such as conditions for establishment, and other settings) is required.

In the case of this method, it is excluded from the present invention because it is managed as a single product by the already established normal handle mix match process.

[0018]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the currently established POS system, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), a clothing item (shirt in this case) which is a target item for handle mix match is
Register with a certain operation.

In this embodiment, the number of definitions (ex. 3) and the handle mix match process is declared.

After that, the defined number of target products (ex. Shirts) are registered. At first glance, this processing is considered to increase the load on the operator (selection of target products, registration of each target product, etc.), but improvement of data accuracy for single item management, which is a proposition of the POS system. Is also essential for.

As a measure for improving the accuracy of the above data, the bar code label system for managing the target product is changed to the system shown in FIG. 1 (b) to simplify the operation (the operator is It is not necessary to pay attention to the price) and the detailing of individual item data (management of color, size, etc.) is realized.

2A and 2B, the registered product is notified to the end user.

The start of registration of the handle mix match product, the display of the established price and the clarification of the target product are provided on the display and the receipt.

In addition, in this function, the operator can easily recognize when the number of target products is less than the defined number, and it is easy to promote the purchase to the end user (provision of information about the price reduction by bulk sale). There is also an advantage that

3 (a) and 3 (b) are a description of selling price determination processing for single item management and the accompanying linkage to accounting data.

To improve the accuracy of the single item management data, FIG.
As shown in (a), the established price is prorated by the defined number, and the unit price (sale price) of one product is calculated. At this time, the indivisible fraction will be added to the final product at the time of registration for the sake of convenience.

In this case, the important data is not the aggregated price data (the importance of which has already been reduced due to price reduction) but the aggregated quantity data of how many items have been sold. The accuracy of rounding is reduced.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the price data can be linked to the accounting data by separately collecting the fractional amount of money, the number of products, and the number of successful cases according to the management system of the products.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Without using the already established handle mix match function, especially for clothing items that are difficult to manage individually, while simplifying (unifying) the operation to some extent, selling highly effective to end users It becomes possible to realize handle mix match, which is a method. The effects are as follows. (1) The operator does not need to be aware of the established price, considering only the points of the target product. As a result, it is possible to concentrate on supporting purchase for the end user. (2) Since registration of individual items is mandatory (mandatory as an operation), it is possible to improve the accuracy of individual item management data (especially for clothing systems, handle mix match sales are common,
It becomes easy to collect data).
