Further, an FDD controller 5 that controls the drive of an FDD (Floppy Disk Drive) 4, an HDD (Hard Disc)
Drive) 6 controls an HDD controller 7, a keyboard controller 9 for taking in key signals corresponding to operation keys from a keyboard 8, and controls data communication with a host device (not shown) connected via a communication line 10. A communication interface 11 for inputting signals from a mode switch 12, an I / O port 14 for sending an opening command signal to a drawer 13, and a scanner controller for reading bar code data optically read by a bar code scanner 15. 16, a printer controller 18 for controlling data printing by a printer 17, a display controller 20 for controlling data display on a display 19, and the like. The CPU 1, ROM 2, RAM 3, communication interface 11, I / O port 14 and each controller 5, 7, 9, 16, The 8,20 are connected an address bus, a bus line 21 such as a data bus.

The keyboard 8 includes a numeric key, a department key, a subtotal key, a deposit / cash total key, an execution key, a clear key,
This is a POS terminal dedicated keyboard with various keys necessary for product registration such as a cancel key and a discount key. The printer 17 prints data on receipt paper and journal paper, discharges the receipt paper from a receipt issuing port, and winds the journal paper inside the terminal. The display device 19 displays the product name and price of the product registered for sale, the total price of the products purchased by the customer, and is equipped with two types, one for the operator and one for the customer.

[0011] The mode switch 12 is provided with "registration",
This is a switch for selecting various tasks such as “inspection”, “payment”, “setting” and instructing the CPU 1 to execute them. Incidentally, the “registration” is a task of totalizing the sales data of the sales-registered products in the sales totaling storage unit. "inspection"
Is a task of outputting a report of the contents totaled in the sales total storage unit by the above “registration”. "Checkout"
Similar to the above-mentioned "inspection" work, it is a work to output the contents of the sales totalization storage unit as a report and then clear the storage unit.
“Setting” is a task of setting data necessary for executing various tasks in the RAM 3 in advance.

In the POS terminal of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the total sales, net sales, tax, cash transaction sales, margin transaction sales, and credit transaction are included in the sales total storage unit of the RAM 3 as shown in FIG. Transaction-based totalizer 3 for totalizing and storing product sales data for each transaction item such as sales and total discount
1. A group totalizer 32 for totalizing and storing product sales data for each group code for classifying each product, a department totalizer 33 for totaling and storing product sales data for each department code for classifying each product, and a class for classifying each product. Class-based totalizer 34 for totalizing and storing product sales data for each code, PLU-based totalizer 35 for totaling and storing product sales data for each PLU code attached to each product, for example, totaling product sales data for each hour of the hour Total 3 by time zone to memorize
6, for example, price range totalizer 37 that aggregates and stores product sales data by price range of 100 yen units, credit totalizer 38 that aggregates and stores product sales data by credit company for credit transactions, and product sales data by customer segment. A customer class totalizer 39 for totaling and storing is formed. In the "registration" business mode, the sales data of each product registered for sale is tabulated for each item corresponding to each of the totalizers 32 to 39 for each item, as in the related art.

On the other hand, in each of the operation modes of "check" and "payout", one or a plurality of totalizers can be selected from the various totalizers 31 to 39 and the contents thereof can be output as a report. Here, there are two methods of outputting the report: a method of printing out on the receipt paper by the printer 17 and a method of transmitting and outputting to the host device via the communication line 10.

In the present embodiment, the information specifying the combination of items in the sales totalizing report and the output method thereof is represented by a 13-digit JAN in-store type bar code 40 as shown in FIG. In the "payment" business mode, the bar code 40 is read and input by the bar code scanner 15 as a code reader. Here, among the 13 digits of the bar code 40 of the report output information, the first two digits are a fixed code [20]. The next five digits (x3, x4, x5, x6, x7) are used as information for specifying the type of report to be printed out, and the next five digits (x8,
x9, x10, x11, x12) as information for specifying the type of report to be transmitted and output to the host device. The last digit (x13) is used as a check digit.

The type of the report is designated by a 16-bit bit assignment corresponding to a 5-digit decimal number. That is, each of the 16 bits is one-to-one in the report of each item.
The bit data = [0] has the meaning of not outputting a report, and the bit data = [1] has the meaning of outputting a report.

In this embodiment, bit 0 corresponds to a transaction report which outputs the contents of the transaction totalizer 31, and bit 1 corresponds to a group report which outputs the contents of the group totalizer 32. Then, bit 2 corresponds to the departmental report that outputs the contents of the departmental totalizer 33, bit 3 is the class-specific report that outputs the contents of the class totalizer 34, and bit 4 is the PLU-specific totalizer. Corresponding to PLU-specific reports that output 35 contents,
Bit 5 corresponds to the time zone report outputting the contents of the time zone totalizer 36, bit 6 corresponds to the price zone report outputting the contents of the price zone totalizer 37, and bit 7 is the above. Bit 8 corresponds to a customer-specific report that outputs the content of the customer-specific totalizer 39, and bit 8 corresponds to a credit-specific report that outputs the content of the credit-specific totalizer 38.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the bit / report correspondence table 50 in which the report information is set in correspondence with each of the bits 0 to 8 is set in advance in the ROM 2 or the RAM 3. The barcode 40 of the report output information shown in FIG. 3 is prepared in advance in accordance with the operation of the store, and is provided near the POS terminal by vinyl coating or the like.

When the POS terminal confirms that the CPU 1 has read the bar code by the bar code scanner 15 based on the input data to the scanner controller 16, the scanning process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 is performed. Configure the program to execute. This program is recorded on, for example, a floppy disk (see FIG. 1) 60 as a computer-readable recording medium, and is installed in the program area of the RAM 3 as necessary. In this case,
The bit / report correspondence table 50 is also stored in the floppy disk 60 and stored in the RAM in the same manner as the program.
3 may be written.

That is, when confirming that the bar code has been read by the bar code scanner 15, the CPU 1 first determines the business mode selected by the mode switch 12 as ST (step) 1. Here, if the operation mode of “inspection” or “payment” is selected, the barcode scanner 15
The barcode read from is analyzed and 13-digit numerical data is obtained. Next, as ST3, it is determined whether or not the first two-digit numerical value is [20] indicating the barcode for report output information (code determining means). If it is not [20], it is an error because it is not a bar code for report output information.

The first two digits of the read barcode are [2
0], five digit numerical data (decimal number) from the third digit to the seventh digit are obtained as ST4 and converted to a 16-bit binary number. Then, as ST5, the bit
The report correspondence table 50 is searched to acquire report type information corresponding to the bit of the data [1] as report type information for printing and outputting the sales summary report (output information acquisition means). Thereafter, in ST6, the storage data of the totalizers 31 to 39 corresponding to the obtained report type is read out, and based on the data, print data of the sales summary report for each item is created. It is sent out and printed on receipt paper (report output control means).

Next, five-digit numerical data (decimal number) from the eighth digit to the twelfth digit of the bar code read as ST7 is obtained and converted into a 16-bit binary number. Then, as ST8, the bit report correspondence table 5
By searching for 0, report type information corresponding to the bit of data [1] is obtained as report type information for transmitting and outputting the sales summary report to the host device (output information obtaining means). Then, at ST9, the stored data of the totalizers 31 to 39 corresponding to the acquired report type is read out, and if the host communication data of the itemized sales totalization report is created based on the data, this communication data is used as the communication interface. 11 to the host device (report output control means).

Next, as ST10, the mode switch 12
Is determined as to whether the operation mode selected is “inspection” or “payment”. In the case of the "pay-out" business mode, the storage contents of the totalizer that printed out the sales summary report in ST6 and the storage contents of the totalizer that transmitted and output the sales summary report to the host device in ST9 are cleared.
In the case of the "inspection" operation mode, the stored contents of the totalizer are not cleared. This is the end of the scanning process this time.

The POS having the above-described structure according to the present embodiment
At the terminal, for example, by department, class, and PL
Considering the case where each sales summary report for each U is printed out and at the same time, the sales summary report for each transaction is transmitted and output to the host device, each sales summary report for each department, class, and PLU whose output method is printing Since the bits corresponding to are respectively [2], [3], and [4], the 16-bit data corresponding to the fifth digit from the third digit to the seventh digit in the barcode 40 for report output information is ,
It becomes [00000000000011100]. When this is converted into a decimal number, it becomes [00028]. Also, since the bit corresponding to the sales summary report by transaction whose output method is transmission is [0], the barcode 4 for the report output information is used.
The 16-bit data corresponding to the 5th digit from the beginning to the 12th digit in 0 is [0000000000]
00001]. Converting this to a decimal number [0
0001]. As a result, the bar code 40 becomes a bar code of the numerical code [200002800001X] (X is a check digit value).

For example, in the inspection mode, when the bar code 40 of the numerical code [200002800001X] is read by the bar code scanner 15, the data stored in the section totalizer 33, the class totalizer 34, and the PLU totalizer 35 are stored. Each is printed out on a receipt paper by the printer 17 as a sales summary report. The data stored in the transaction-specific totalizer 31 is transmitted and output to the host device as a sales summary report.

Also, in the payment mode, when the bar code 40 of the numerical code [200002800001X] is read by the bar code scanner 15, the same operation is performed.
The stored data of the section-based totalizer 33, the class-based totalizer 34, and the PLU-based totalizer 35 are printed out on a receipt sheet by the printer 17 as sales summary reports. The data stored in the transaction-specific totalizer 31 is transmitted and output to the host device as a sales summary report. In this case, finally, the totalizer 31 by transaction, the totalizer 33 by section,
The stored data in the class-based totalizer 34 and the PLU-based totalizer 35 are cleared.

As described above, according to the POS terminal of the present embodiment, when the barcode scanner 15 reads the barcode 40 of the report output information in the report output business of “inspection” and “payment”, the barcode is read. Four
One or a plurality of sales summary items to be analyzed and output as a report and a plurality of sales summary items and an output method for each item are obtained.
9 and is output by an output method corresponding to each item.

Therefore, the items of the sales summary data to be output as the combination report are converted to barcodes by the scanner 1.
It is possible to specify without any mistake by a simple operation of reading in 5, and it is possible to output with a different output method for each item. Further, depending on how the barcode 40 is created, it is possible to print out the sales summary report of the same item and transmit and output the report to the host device.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the code of the report output information is represented by a bar code and the bar code is read and input by the bar code scanner 15 has been described. It may be read and input.
