DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a plurality of merchandise registration sections in which a checker reads merchandise information from merchandise using a scanner and registers the merchandise, and a cashier stores registered merchandise information registered in each merchandise registration section. The present invention relates to a multi-person product sales data processing apparatus and method having an accounting processing unit that performs accounting processing using the same, and a computer-readable storage medium storing a multi-person product sales data processing program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A merchandise sales data processing device processes data that has been registered and accounted for. Product registration function,
By reading and inputting the product information using a scanner and inputting the number and the like using a keyboard as necessary, the product information including the product name and price (unit price) obtained from the product file is stored (product registration) in the sales file. Function. Perform for all products purchased by customers.

The accounting function is a function for executing an accounting process including calculation of a total amount, a change amount, and the like using each registered product information after product registration. The condition is a closing operation as one transaction end declaration, but the registered merchandise information relating to the one transaction is collectively performed.

[0004] Thus, focusing on one customer, the time required for merchandise registration is much longer than the time required for accounting processing. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, a so-called multi-person product sales data processing device in which a single accounting processing unit is provided with a plurality of ("2" in the figure) product registration units is proposed and put into practical use.

[0005] In FIG. 7, each product registration unit is configured such that a product registration unit 30 including, for example, a fixed scanner is provided on a checker table 1 arranged in parallel. Each product registration unit 30 includes a keyboard 34, a display 35
And a reading window 36W of the scanner is provided facing the checker. Therefore, each checker directs the commodity taken out of the shopping basket placed on the upstream side 1U of each checker table 1 toward and through the reading window 36W,
The information of the product can be read and input to register the product. The goods after reading and input are stored in a shopping basket (empty basket) on the downstream side 1D. The flow of goods is often opposite to the direction of FIG. 7 (right → left).

[0006] After merchandise registration, each customer carries the shopping basket containing the registered merchandise to the cashier table 2 which forms a part of the accounting unit. The cashier executes an accounting process using an accounting processor (for example, the electronic cash register 10) and using the registered product information. The customer checks out upon receipt of the receipt and change.

By the way, the merchandise information (registered merchandise information) registered by each merchandise registration section (30) is transferred to the accounting processing section (10) as it is and stored and held, as shown in FIG. (For example, 1A1, 30, 1A2, 3
0, 2A, and 10A) may be stored and held in a higher-level device (store controller) 40 that performs collective management.

In the former case, one of the product registration units is selected to obtain the product registration information. In the latter case, a customer is directly or indirectly specified and called by using the machine number of the electronic cash register 10 as a key through the data communication line (for example, LAN) 45 each time.

In the latter case, the load on the entire system is further increased, and there is a strong possibility that smooth operation is hindered. For example, in response to an inquiry from each device (10), various inquiries to a credit company via a data communication network (for example, ISDN) 49 and a delay in data transmission / reception with a host computer are caused. When the number of devices connected to the higher-level device 40 increases, the effect becomes remarkable.

Further, when the store is busy, a mismatch is likely to occur between the registered merchandise stored in the shopping basket on the cashier table 2 and the registered merchandise information selected or designated and called. Therefore, not only does the mental and physical burden on the cashier increase to confirm the consistency, but also the intrinsic function having a plurality ("2") of product registration units cannot be fully exhibited. .
