Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute adjustment in a POS register without a manual operation at the time of price change after a commodity bar code is displayed by permitting configuration to be the one where an arithmetic part calculates a sales price after price reduction when the commodity where bar code data is read is the price reduced one. SOLUTION: A controller B is the POS cash register, discounted information of a price reduced commodity is stored in the memory M of the cash register and the price reduced commodity is discriminated at the time of reading the bar code so as to decide the sales price. That is, the bar code of a label adhered to the commodity is read by a bar code scanner A and inputted to the arithmetic part (d) with microcomputer configuration in the controller B. The arithmetic part (d) uses previously inputted price reducing information so as to calculate the sales price after price reduction from the read sales price. Then, the read commodity code and the calculated sales price is displayed in a display part (b).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a POS cash register used in a retail store or the like in which a point-of-sale information management system (POS system) is introduced.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a POS system introduced at a retail store or the like, a POS code in which a maker code and a product code are represented by bar codes on the product, and a sales price for each product is stored in advance.
A POS register reads out a bar code of a product and registers the sales price by reading the bar code of the product (hereinafter referred to as a PLU system). There is a method (hereinafter referred to as a non-PLU method) for directly reading and displaying prices, and both are usually used in combination.

The PLU system is used when the same product has the same selling price, and the non-PLU system is used when the selling price of the same product such as fresh food is different depending on the weight.

[0004] In a retail store such as a supermarket, a bar code is often printed or a product on which a label with a printed label is attached is arranged at a store and discounted by a time service or the like in many cases. In such a case, the product based on the PLU method specifies the price to be discounted on the product, and the PO
This can be dealt with by correcting the storage contents of the selling price in the S register. However, in non-PLU type products, since the selling price is included in the barcode itself, the barcode label must be re-attached or the POS register It is necessary to input using the input key of.

[0005]

When re-applying a label in one of the conventional methods, the merchandise at the store is once pulled up and the label is issued again by a weighing machine. Work must be suspended,
This method has the following disadvantages: once the product in the store is empty, it cannot be determined on the label that the product has been discounted, and in the case of a time service, it is necessary to reapply the normal label again after the service time has elapsed. Is not widely adopted.

At present, a sales clerk puts a discount seal (for example, 100 yen discount on a certain product) on a product purchased at a store. Or write the price after discount with a felt-tip pen etc.,
This is a method in which a correction amount is input by a key in a POS register at the time of settlement.

However, according to this method,
There has been a problem that the number of cashier operations becomes larger than usual, and the advantage of simplifying cashier operations, which is one of the functions of the POS system, is lost.

According to the present invention, a POS system is provided in which, when there is a price change after a bar code is displayed on a product in a POS system, settlement in a POS register is performed without manual operation.
The purpose is to provide a register for use.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an apparatus for reading bar code data recorded on a bar code label, an apparatus for inputting discount information of a product, and a method for reading the bar code data. A controller comprising: a calculating unit for calculating a discounted selling price from the selling price read by the reading device and the discount information; and a display device for displaying the discounted selling price calculated by the calculating unit. The operation unit determines whether or not the product whose barcode data is read by the device that reads the barcode data is a discounted product, and calculates the selling price after the discount if the product is a discounted product. It is characterized by doing so.

According to the present invention, by using such means, it is possible to determine whether or not the product from which the barcode data recorded on the barcode label is read by the apparatus for reading barcode data is a discount product. And if the product is a discounted product, the calculation unit calculates the discounted selling price. Thereby, when there is a price change after the barcode is displayed on the product, the settlement in the POS register can be performed without manual operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a barcode scanner A for reading a barcode and a controller B are connected by a cable C. The controller B includes a key a, a display unit b, a printer c, a calculation unit d, and the like. Various information is input from the key a, and discount information related to the present invention is input. As the discount information, (1) x% is reduced from the list price of the product. (2) Reduce y yen from the list price of the product. (3) Reduce uniformly to z-yen. Etc.

The controller B calculates the sales price after the discount from the sales price read from the bar code scanner A, and displays the sales price.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the controller B
A cash register for the OS, wherein discount information of discounted products is stored in a memory M of the cash register,
When the barcode is read, the discounted product is determined and the selling price is determined. That is, the barcode of the label attached to the product is read by the barcode scanner A and input to the arithmetic unit d of the microcomputer of the controller B. The calculation unit d calculates the discounted selling price from the read selling price using the discount information input in advance by the above (1) to (3). Next, the read product code and the calculated sales price are displayed on the display unit b.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the embodiment of the present invention. Next, this flowchart will be described.

(1) It is checked whether barcode data is stored in the barcode scanner A (step P1), and if there is no data, it is next checked whether key-on is performed (step P2). If the key is turned on, it is determined whether or not it is a data registration process (step P3). If it is a data registration process, the discount information is preset (step P4). If it is not a registration process, other key processes such as total display and price correction are performed (step P5).

(2) If there is data in the process of step P1, barcode information is input and stored in a predetermined area of the memory (step P6). Next, it is determined whether the product is a discount product (step P
7) If the product is a discount product, the discount information of the product is read, and the sales price after the discount is calculated and displayed (step P).
8). Subsequently, cumulative addition of sales prices is performed (step P9).

In the above example, the bar code scanner A and the controller B have been described as being separate from each other.
A bar code scanner A, which is a bar code reading means, may be provided at an appropriate location on the controller B to form an integral structure.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The arithmetic unit determines whether or not the product from which the barcode data recorded on the barcode label is read by the device that reads the barcode data is a discounted product, and if the product is a discounted product, the arithmetic unit determines whether the product is a discounted product. Calculate the later selling price. As a result, if there is a price change after displaying the bar code on the product, the payment in the POS register can be performed without manual operation, and the new selling price can be displayed, so that the cash register operation is simplified. The effect is obtained.
