[0003] In the retail business dealing with fresh foods such as supermarkets, in order to efficiently rotate the inventory of fresh foods, it is frequently practiced to discount and sell products especially near the closing time. As a method for dealing with such discounts, conventionally, a sticker indicating a discount price is attached to a product to be discounted, so that PO
There is known a method in which a cashier visually checks a discount amount of a sticker at the time of registration in an S terminal, and inputs the discount amount by key operation to cope with it. However, this method has many problems, such as imposing an extra work load on the cashier, forgetting to perform a discount operation, and inputting an incorrect discount amount. For this reason, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-306793, a discount barcode is attached to a product together with a normal barcode, and both products are read with a touch scanner to perform a discount process on the product. Is going.

[0004]

However, the method disclosed in the publication uses a touch scanner to reliably read a normal barcode and a discount barcode one by one, so that it takes time to register one product. There is such a problem. To solve this, a fixed barcode scanner that can read barcodes at high speed may be used, but this scanner guarantees reading of multi-stage barcodes of combinations registered in advance according to the standard, It does not guarantee simultaneous reading of unregistered combinations of barcodes such as ordinary barcodes and discount barcodes that occur unexpectedly during business hours. For this reason, there is a problem in that when the reading of one bar code is established, the reading is terminated as it is. Therefore, the invention described in each claim provides a merchandise sales data processing device capable of quickly and reliably performing a merchandise registration process involving a price change such as a discount or a discount of a merchandise.
