Constitutes a registered point counting means for counting the registered points of all purchased commodities registered as one transaction by the commodity registering means.

In the POS terminal according to the first embodiment, the “register” is set by the mode switch 6.
In the state where the mode is selected, the product code (barcode) of the purchased product by the scanner 15 as the product registration means.
Is read and input, the program is configured so that the CPU 1 starts the product code input process shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, when starting the product code input process, the CPU 1 first determines whether or not the registering flag is set in the flag memory 36 as ST (step) 1. If it is not set here, since the first purchased product in one transaction has been registered, the transaction product buffer 33, purchase point counter 34, and transaction totalizer 35 are cleared as ST2. In step ST3, a registering flag is set in the flag memory 36 (1). If the closing flag is set in the flag memory 37, it is reset (0). On the other hand, if the registering flag is set in ST1, the second and subsequent purchased commodities in the first transaction have been registered, and the processes in ST2 and ST3 are not performed.

Next, the CPU 1 searches the product information file 31 as ST4, and reads out a department code, a product name, and a unit price corresponding to the product code of the registered product. And ST5
The sales price is calculated by multiplying the unit price by the sales number of the registered product, and the sales amount and the sales amount are added to the amount and the number corresponding to the section code of the registered product in the sales memory 32 for each section. In addition, the sales point of the registered product is set to the multiplier when the multiplier is set by the input key of the keyboard 9 immediately before the input of the product code, and is set to “1” when not set.

Next, the CPU 1 adds the sales amount of the registered product to the transaction totalizer 35 as ST6. In step ST7, the transaction commodity buffer 33 is searched to determine whether the commodity code of the registered commodity is stored. If they are not stored here (NO in ST8), the merchandise code, merchandise name, sales amount, and sales point of the registered merchandise are stored as one record in the trade merchandise buffer 33 as ST9. On the other hand, when the product code of the registered product is stored (YES in ST8), in ST10, the sales amount of the registered product and the price corresponding to the same product code as the registered product in the transaction product buffer 33 are added. The points are added (a means for summing up the amounts by product). Thereafter, if the purchase point counter 34 has been counted up by the number of sales points of the registered item in ST11, the current item code input process ends.

Also, this POS terminal is "registered".
The program is configured so that when the deposit / current total key K1 is operated and input in the state where the mode is selected, the CPU 1 starts the deposit / current total key input processing shown in the flowchart of FIG.

Note that the deposit amount is the amount when the amount is set by the number key immediately before the input of the deposit / current total key K1, and is set to the amount of the transaction totalizer 35 when the amount is not set. . Thereafter, the receipt print data is edited based on the merchandise name, amount, and score of each purchased merchandise stored in the merchandise merchandise buffer 33, the total amount and change amount of the transaction totalizer 35, and the like, and is supplied to the printer 13 to receive the receipt print data. Print and issue. If the drawer is opened by outputting a drive signal to the drawer opening device 7,
This deposit / current total key input processing ends. If the registering flag has been reset in ST1, a key operation error is reported because the erroneous operation of the deposit / current total key K1 before the purchase of one transaction is registered.

Further, in the POS terminal, when the receipt key K2 is operated and input in a state where the "registration" mode is selected, the CPU 1 starts a program so as to start the receipt key input processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. Make up. That is, when starting the receipt key input process, the CPU 1 first determines whether or not the closing flag is set in the flag memory 37 as ST1. If it is set here, the issuance of a receipt is instructed after the completion of the merchandise registration of one transaction, so the amount data NNNNN of the transaction totalizer 35 is set in the amount area of the receipt memory 39 as ST2. Further, as ST3, the current date data YYYYMMDD measured by the clock unit 4 is read and set in the date area of the receipt memory 39.

Next, in step ST4, the CPU 1 compares the amount data of each record stored in the transaction product buffer 33 and detects the record with the largest amount. If there are a plurality of records having the largest amount, the record closest to the head area of the transaction product buffer 33 is detected (code detecting means). If the record with the largest amount is detected, the product name data X of the record is detected.
XXXX is set in the product name area of the receipt memory 39. In step ST6, the count value NN of the purchase point counter 34 is set in the point area of the receipt memory 39.

After the data of the amount, date, article name and score are set in the receipt memory 39,
In ST7, the format data of the receipt 40 stored in the receipt form memory 38 is read, and the receipt print data is edited based on the format data and each data in the receipt memory 39. Specifically, the current date data Y set in the date area of the receipt memory 39

Further, the product name data XXXXXX set in the product name area of the receipt memory 39 and the purchase point data NN set in the point area are printed in the product name column 45 as "XXXXX and other total NN points as product charges". To edit. The title column 41 is edited so that a fixed title name “receipt” is printed, and the issuer column 46 is edited so that a fixed issuer name “super xx shop” is printed. The characters in each column are edited so as to be printed as characters rotated by 90 degrees in the same direction as the transport direction of the receipt paper. Thereafter, in ST8, the receipt print data is supplied to the printer 13, and the receipt 40 is received.
Is printed and issued (receipt issuing means).

Thereafter, if the closing flag of the flag memory 37 is reset (0) in ST9, the present receipt key input processing is terminated. If the closing flag has been reset in ST1, a key operation error is notified because the receipt key K2 was operated erroneously before the registration of the purchased merchandise for one transaction.

In the first embodiment configured as described above, when the cashier reads the barcode attached to the product purchased by the shopper one by one using the scanner 15, the shopper purchases the barcode. The sales amounts of the products are totaled by the transaction totalizer 35. The sales points of the purchased merchandise are counted by the purchase point counter 34. Further, the sales amount of the purchased merchandise is totaled by the merchandise merchandise buffer 33 for each merchandise code.

Thereafter, when the cashier enters the deposit amount from the shopper and presses the deposit / current total key K1 to declare the end of product registration for one transaction, the change amount is calculated and a receipt is issued. You. Here, when the shopper offers a receipt, the cashier presses the receipt key K2.
Then, the merchandise code having the largest amount among the amounts summed up by the merchandise code by the transaction merchandise buffer 33 is detected. Then, the product name set and stored in the product information file 31 corresponding to the product code is printed in the product name and point column 45 together with the registered points counted by the purchase point counter 34, and the transaction totalizer 35 The calculated total amount is printed in the amount column 44, and the receipt 40 in which the current date measured by the clock unit 4 is printed in the date column 42 is automatically issued.

For example, now (March 1, 1998)
