DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the present invention is applied to a POS terminal for a retail store where a chain has been developed.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main part of a POS terminal according to this embodiment.
The OS terminal has a CPU (Central
Processing Unit) 1. In addition, the CP
As a storage unit controlled by U1, a ROM (Read Only Memory)
ly) 2, D-RAM (Dynamic Random Access Memoly)
3 and S-RAM (Static Random Access Memoly) 4
It is equipped with.

The POS terminal further includes a clock section 5 for measuring the current date and time, a communication interface 6 for controlling data communication with a host device connected through a transmission line, a signal input from a mode switch 7 and I / O port 9 for outputting drive signal to drawer 8, numeric key, subtotal key, deposit / current total key, discount key, discount key,
A keyboard controller 11 for controlling a keyboard 10 provided with a credit key, a receipt issuing key, etc .; a display controller 13 for controlling a display 12 for displaying a product price, a total amount of one transaction, etc .; And a scanner controller 17 for controlling a bar code scanner 16 for optically reading a bar code.
And so on.

Then, the CPU 1, ROM 2, D-
RAM 3, S-RAM 4, clock unit 5, communication interface 6, I / O port 9, keyboard controller 11,
The display controller 13, the printer controller 15, and the scanner controller 17 are interconnected by bus lines 18 such as an address bus and a data bus.

The ROM 2 stores fixed data such as programs in advance. The D-RAM3
Stores various input data and arithmetic processing data in a rewritable manner. In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, total sales (GT), sales total, subtotal discount (subtotal%-),
An area 21 for accumulatively processing point or number data and amount data for each of various transaction items such as subtotal discount and receipt issuance, an area 21 for storing the amount data of the item [change fund], an item [collection] Area 22 for storing the amount data of the item [cash on hand], area 24 for storing the amount data of the item [the amount on hand], and storing the amount data of the item [excess or deficiency]. It has an area 25, an area 26 for storing the count data of the item [number of payments], an area 27 for storing the amount data of the item [next day change fund], and an area 28 for storing the amount data of the item [payment amount]. A transaction-specific memory 20 is formed.

The S-RAM 4 backs up a power supply by a battery 19 together with the clock unit 5.
It functions as a nonvolatile storage unit that stores data that needs to be retained even when the power is turned off after the store is closed. In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, a settlement number counter 31 and a next day change reserve memory 32 are formed.

The mode switch 7 is a changeover switch for selecting one of various business modes executed by the POS terminal. Here, the business modes that can be selected by the mode switch 7 include a business opening mode to be performed before the store is opened on a business day, a product registration mode to be performed during the store opening, and a settlement business mode to be performed after the store is closed.

When the commodity registration mode is selected, the CPU
Reference numeral 1 indicates that when data relating to the sale of each product is input via the input means of the keyboard 10 or the scanner 16, the data is registered in the transaction memory 20. For example, when the sale of a product purchased by one customer is registered and the registration end is declared, 1 is added to the number of times area of the item [sales total], and the total value of the purchased product of the customer is added to the amount area. register. Further, when a subtotal discount is made after registering the sale of a product purchased by one customer, 1 is added to the number area of the item [subtotal discount], and the discount amount is added and registered in the amount area. If payment by cash settlement is declared when the sale registration of the product purchased by one customer is completed, the total amount of the purchased product of the customer is added and registered in the money area 23 of the item [cash remaining]. I do.

On the other hand, when the settlement operation mode is selected, the CP
U1 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, as ST (step) 1, the process waits for input of the money amount data of the money in hand from the keyboard 10. Here, for example, if the numeric data is entered by the numeric keypad of the keyboard 10 and the subtotal key is subsequently input, the CPU 1 recognizes the numeric data as the money amount data of the amount in hand in ST2, and Write in the money amount area 24 of the item [hand money]. After a while, S
As T3, the amount data of the item [change reserve] in the transaction-specific memory 20 and the amount data of the item [cash remaining] are added, and the amount data of the item [collection] is subtracted from the added value, and the result is stored in the drawer 8. Calculate the theoretical value of the stored cash balance. Then, the difference between the theoretical value and the input amount on hand, that is, the excess or deficiency is calculated, and the transaction-specific memory 2 is calculated.
0 is stored in the amount area 25 of the item [excess or insufficient].

Next, in step ST4, the process waits for input of change amount data of the change fund on the next day. Here, for example, if the numerical data is entered by the numeric keypad of the keyboard 10 and the subtotal key is subsequently input, the CPU 1 recognizes the numerical data as the amount data of the change fund for the next day in ST5, Items in the next day
And the next day's change reserve memory 32 in the S-RAM 3 are written. Thereafter, in ST6, the amount of payment data is calculated by subtracting the amount of data of the item [next day change reserve] from the amount of data of the item [hand balance] in the transaction-specific memory 20.
Is stored in the amount area 28 of the item [payment amount] in.

Next, if the number-of-payments counter 31 in the S-RAM 3 is counted up by one in step ST7, the count value after the count-up is read and stored in the score area 26 of the item [number of payments] in the transaction-specific memory 20. I do. Next, the point data and the amount data for each item stored in the transaction memory 20 are sequentially read. Then, the data is edited into print data of the daily total settlement report, and printed out on a receipt paper by the printer 15. Thereafter, if the score area and the money amount area of the transaction-specific memory 20 are cleared, the process ends.

When the store opening operation mode is selected, the CP
U1 transfers the amount data stored and held in the next day change fund memory 32 in the S-RAM 4 to the amount area 21 of the item [change fund] in the transaction-specific memory 20, as shown in FIG. And the next day change reserve memory 3
2 is executed.

The POS of the present embodiment configured as described above
In a chain-operated retail store that uses a terminal, if a store operation mode is selected by the mode switch 7 and commanded to be executed before the store is opened every business day, the processing in the settlement operation mode performed after the store closes on the previous business day is performed. S-RA
The change fund data stored and held in the change fund memory 32 the next day after M4 is set in the amount area 21 of the item [change fund] in the transaction-specific memory 20 in the D-RAM3. Each area of the other transaction items in the transaction memory 20 is cleared to zero.

Thereafter, when the store is opened, the product registration mode is selected by the mode switch 7. Then, the operator inputs data related to the sale of the product purchased by each shopper using the keyboard 10 and the input device of the scanner 16. As a result, in the POS terminal, the point data and the amount data are cumulatively stored in the transaction memory 20 for each transaction item. When a transaction by cash settlement is declared, the amount data paid in the transaction is added to the amount area 23 of the item [cash amount] in the transaction-specific memory 20. When the cash stored in the drawer is declared to be collected, the collected amount is added to the amount area 22 of the item [collection] in the transaction memory 20.

Thereafter, when the store is closed, the operator selects the settlement operation mode by using the mode switch 7, and
The cash stored in the drawer 8 is counted, and the total amount, that is, the amount of cash on hand is obtained. Then, the user operates the keyboard 10 to input the data on the amount of money on hand. Then, the excess or deficiency of cash in the drawer 8 is calculated from the amount data of the items [change reserve], [cash balance], and [collection] in the transaction-specific memory 20 and the input on-hand balance data. .
Then, the excess / deficiency amount data is stored in the amount area 25 of the item [excess / deficiency] in the transaction-specific memory 20.

The operator inputs change reserve data for the next day, which is determined in advance, from the keyboard 10.
Then, the amount of money to be paid to the headquarters is calculated from the input cash on hand data and the next day change fund data. The payment amount data is stored in the amount area 28 of the item [payment amount] in the transaction-specific memory 20. Further, the inputted change fund data of the next day is stored in the change fund memory 32 of the next day of the S-RAM 4 and held until the opening of the next day.

Thereafter, the point data and the amount data for each item in the transaction memory 20 are printed on receipt paper by the printer 14 and issued as a daily total settlement report 60 as shown in FIG. Figure 6 shows the Daily Report 6
An example of one issue of 0 is shown. As shown, the daily total settlement report 60 issued from the POS terminal of the present embodiment.
Has an item [G. [T], points and amount of [Sale total], points and amount of [Subtotal discount], points and amount of [Subtotal discount], points and amount of [Receipt issue], [Change] In addition to the amount data for Reserves, the amount data for Collection, the amount data for Cash, the amount data for On-hand balance, the amount data for Excess and Insufficiency, and the number of payments , Key amount input next day change fund amount data 61 and automatically calculated amount data 62
Is printed.

Therefore, for example, the store manager can easily know the amount of the payment amount to be paid to the head office from the amount data 62 of the payment amount printed on the daily total settlement report 60. Conventionally, the payment amount is described in a daily report and sent to the headquarters by facsimile. However, according to the present embodiment, the payment amount is automatically printed on the daily report 60. There is no need to write.

As described above, according to the POS terminal of the present embodiment, the input of change reserve data on the next day is forced in the settlement operation mode, and the change of cash on the next day together with the cash on-hand data existing in the drawer 8 is performed. When the reserve data is input, the difference between the input on-hand data and the change reserve data is calculated as the payment amount, and this payment amount is printed on the daily account settlement report 60. Can obviate the need to calculate the amount of payment and write it down on the settlement report after each store closure, which has the effect of greatly reducing the burden on business after the store closes.

The change fund data of the next day, which is input in the settlement operation mode, is stored in a non-volatile memory SR-R.
The change fund data stored in the next day change fund memory 32 stored in the next day change fund memory 32 formed in the AM4 and the next day change fund data stored in the next day change fund memory 32 in the opening business mode of the next day is the amount of the item [change fund] in the transaction memory 20. Since the transfer is made to the area 21, there is no need to input the change reserve on the day in the opening of the store. Therefore, the input operation of the change reserve is not required in the opening operation, so that the time required for the opening operation can be reduced. In general, there is no restriction on the business hours after the store is closed, but since the store opening time is determined, it is preferable that the time required for the store opening business be shortened by inputting the change reserve after the store closes the previous day.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the change reserve of the next day is input with the numeric key every time has been described.
Since the change reserve often does not fluctuate even if the business day changes, a reference amount is preset in the S-RAM 4 as the next day change reserve, and when the input for the next day change reserve is forced in the settlement operation mode, a display is displayed. 12, the reference amount is displayed, and the operator is prompted to make a selection. Here, when the operator performs a key operation for instructing approval, the reference amount is stored in the change reserve memory 32 on the next day, and the payment amount is calculated using the reference amount. On the other hand, when a key operation for instructing the correction is performed, the input amount data is stored in the change fund memory 32 on the next day, and the amount to be paid is calculated using the reference amount. By doing so, it is not necessary to input the change reserve on the next day with the numeric key every time, and the burden on the operator can be further reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, the total amount is entered as the cash on hand and the next day change reserve, but the amount or quantity is entered for each denomination, and the excess / deficit quantity is calculated for each denomination, and the settlement is made. It may be printed on a report. By doing so, it is possible to easily determine what combination of denominations should be used to pay the amount equivalent to the amount of payment. In addition, it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0029]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to provide a product sales data registration processing device that can eliminate the calculation of the payment amount and the work of writing down the payment report, which are performed after each store closure, and can reduce the burden on the business after the store closure.
