Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to sell various commodities at a gas filling position and to improve commodity sales at a gas station by providing a gas filling device with a function which controls commodity selling from a sales data input-output device. SOLUTION: When a commodity in a customer commodity exhibit case is sold, a keyboard 33 of a sales data input-output machine 3 inputs commodity sales data. Then, a sales controlling means 31 shows the commodity sales data on an indicator 32, and when an issuing button of the keyboard 33 is pressed, the commodity sales data and commodity sales data which is inputted from a gas station controlling means 29 are outputted to a printer 35 and a slip is issued from the printer 35. Adjustment is performed based on the slip, cash is stored in a register box 36 and the commodity sales data are sent to a sales data transmitter 6 through a signal line 7. Because the commodity sales data of each gas filling device 4 is inputted to one transmitter 6, unitary management of commodity sales data on all of the commodities that are sold at the gas station can be performed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sales management system for a gas station that can sell various products at a fueling position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of gas stations that have diversified management by adding convenience stores. However, customers do not want to get out of the car, and few customers shop at convenience stores far from the refueling position, and sales of products at convenience stores are stagnant. Therefore, a sales management system for a gas station that can sell various products at a fueling position is desired.
In addition, the conventional sales management system built at the refueling station is mainly used to manage the refueling data refueled by the refueling equipment, so the sales management at the newly attached convenience store is It cannot be used, and a separate sales management system for convenience stores has been built. For this reason, despite the same management, unified management of sales could not be performed, and two sales management systems were constructed, increasing investment costs.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the sales of goods at a gas station by selling various goods at a fueling position, and to obtain merchandise sales data of all the goods sold at the gas station. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sales management system for a gas station, wherein the management of the sales management system can be performed by one sales management system, and the construction cost of the sales management system can be reduced.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a sales management system for a gas station according to the present invention has a function of controlling product sales from a refueling nozzle and a function of selling products from a sales data input / output device. A plurality of refueling devices having a function of controlling and transmitting product sales data; a function of storing product sales data received from each refueling device; and sales data having a function of transmitting stored product sales data. It consists of a transmitting device. As described above, the function of controlling the sales of goods from the sales data input / output device is provided in the refueling device, so that various kinds of goods can be sold at the refueling position, and the sales of goods at the gas station can be improved. be able to. Since the product sales data of each refueling device is input to one sales data transmitting device, the product sales data of all the products sold at the gas station can be centrally managed, and the construction cost of the sales management system can be reduced. become able to.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. As shown in FIG. 1, a refueling device 4 with a sales data input / output device 3 is provided on an island 2 of each refueling station 1, 1,.
The refueling device 4 is connected to a sales data transmitting device 6 provided at a management office 5 by a signal line 7. In addition, a convenience store 8 is added to the management office 5,
The payment is made at the POS 9 provided at the management office 5. The POS 9 is connected to the sales data transmitting device 6 via a signal line 10, and the sales data transmitting device 6 is connected to the communication line 11.
And sends the merchandise sales data to the computer 12 at the headquarters of the refueling station 1 through the computer.
To each center via. For example, receiving the transmission signal from the computer 14 of the oil distribution center and outputting the product sales data for the oil distribution center, receiving the transmission signal from the computer 15 of the product distribution center and outputting the product sales data for the product distribution center, Upon receiving a transmission signal from the computer 16 at the card center, product sales data for the card center is output. Then, based on the data of the computers 14, 15, and 16, the shipment of goods and the settlement of money are performed.

[0006] Further, a commodity display case 17 is provided on the island 2, and goods for automobiles such as canned oil and radiator liquid, and products such as gum and snacks are placed in the commodity display case 17.

[0007] As shown in FIG.
1, a pipe 22 from an oil storage tank (not shown) is provided, and a pump 23 and a flow meter 24 are interposed in the pipe 22. And, at the tip of the pipe 22,
A refueling hose 26 provided with a refueling nozzle 5 is connected, and a nozzle switch 28 is provided on a nozzle hook 27 for refueling the refueling nozzle 25.

[0008] Refueling control means 2 provided in case 21
Reference numeral 9 indicates the total number of the display 3 upon receiving the closing signal from the nozzle switch 28.
The drive signal is output to the pump 23 by returning zero to zero. Then, during refueling, the flow rate signal from the flow meter 24 is calculated, and the calculated refueling amount is displayed on the display meter 30. Further, upon receiving an open signal from the nozzle switch 28, the driving of the pump 23 is stopped, and the product sales data by refueling is transmitted to the sales data input / output device 3.
Is output to the sales control means 31.

The sales data input / output device 3 has a display 32
, A keyboard 33, a card reader 34, a printer 35, and a cash register box 36, so that the merchandise in the merchandise display case 17 is sold.
