Abstract

PURPOSE:To rationalize the business work, by generating a day of the week data from a timepiece circuit provided to an electronic cash register and totalizing automatically the sales information such as the article-based sales, the quantity of sales, the quantity of stock, etc. for each day. CONSTITUTION:The sales is fed by operating a cash key and after setting a keyboard 10 in a register mode, the sales is stored in an A register 22 via a selector 21. Then a department key on the keyboard 10 is operated to store the sales in a B register 25 via the selector 21. At the same time, a day counter (such as 2 for Tuesday) is delivered from a timepiece circuit 24 and stored via the selector 21. Then an output O is applied to a row counter 30 from a control part 23, and the counter 30 is counted up until the output O is coincident with the day counter sent frorm the register 25 through a comparing part 28. When the coincidence is obtained at 2, a gate 31 is opened to feed the data given from an arithmetic circuit 27 to the row of Tuesday of a memory 29 in the form of a data on Tuesday. The data on each days of 0-6 rows are not cleared, and the hitherto data are totalized and printed on a prescribed day.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic cash register having a day-of-week counting function.

Generally, in stores, supermarkets, department stores, etc., the daily payment data output from electronic cash registers is used as management information necessary for product management, human resources management, monitoring, business analysis, etc. It is used to make decisions on the amount of employees, hiring of employees, etc.

However, if you can know sales by day of the week as this kind of management information, you can decide which day of the week the regular holiday should be, which day of the week should you buy side roots, and should you prepare small denomination coins for change for each day of the week? The bad news is that when hiring a yard, it is very effective as it helps you decide whether to hire a yard only on Saturdays and Sundays.

However, conventionally, in order to know the sales by day of the week,
Daily settlement results had to be aggregated for each day of the week, which required a great deal of effort.

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash register that automatically performs counting by day of the week.

Hereinafter, one advantage of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows the key IPIO of an electronic cash register. 11 is the amount key, 12 is the department key that specifies the department of the product, 13a is the date key used to set the date, and JJb is the time. -1 IJI Hiro correction key used when setting JJd is the clear key, 1
3@ is an exchange key, and JJf is a person in charge key for registering the person in charge, Nan and Kai. t14 is a group of keys by transaction, 14&
is a deposit key, 14 is a withdrawal key, 14@ is a credit sales key, and 1441 is a credit sales key. 15 is a subtotal key for calculating addition or subtotal, and 16 is a cash key for calculating total or change and issuing a receipt. 11 is the mode switch, r OFF J is when not using the registration machine, "Set" is when setting the date, person in charge number, etc., "Register" is when performing normal registration operations, "Return" is when the registration is completed. When recalling and correcting the data, "inspection" is set when the total data is printed out, and "accounting" is set when the total data is cleared after being printed and output.

Next, the system configuration of this example will be explained with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 10 denotes the above-mentioned key ID, the key data of which is inputted via a selector 21 to a register 22 for setting and calculating numbers. This selector 21 is controlled by the control section 23,
This is a circuit that selects the input 4N line and the output signal line. Although detailed signal paths are not shown, the control section 23 outputs various control signals to control the entire system, such as key sampling control for the key layer 10, synchronization control of each part of the circuit, and various f-) In charge of control, etc. In addition, 24 is a clock circuit that measures time by appropriately dividing the frequency of an oscillator that oscillates at a reference frequency, and measures the time by appropriately dividing the frequency of an oscillator that oscillates at a reference frequency.
It has a function of counting days, hours, and minutes, and stores various information in a storage section (not shown) in the clock circuit. Among the above functions and information, a day of the week counter is provided for the day of the week, and the relationship between the counter value and the day of the week is as shown in Table 1.

This clock circuit 240 clock data is sent to the B register 2 via the selector 21 in accordance with the command from the control section 23.
input to j. The outputs of the cough B reducer 25 and the above-mentioned pressure reducer 22 are input to the selector 26, where the control unit 2
It is appropriately selected under the control of J and output to arithmetic circuit 21 or comparison circuit 2#. The calculation circuit 21 performs various calculations on the information supplied from the selector 2C, and outputs the calculation results to the selector 21 and to the memory 2g. This memory 29 consists of an area of 26 lines, for example, and the 0th to 6th lines are areas for counting by day of the week. The 7th to 24th lines are areas for storing totals by department, total by person in charge, total by transaction, and total sales, all of which store cumulative amounts of sales, number of items sold, number of transactions, etc. The 25th line is an area for storing the designated day of week settlement MSIf, which will be described later. On the other hand, 30 is a row counter that specifies the row address PT of the memory 110, the contents of which are set by the control section 23 and output as a row address to the memory 29 via the AND circuit 31, and the contents are output to the memory 29 as a row address. is output to. This comparison circuit 28 compares the output from the row counter 30 and the output from the selector 26, and outputs an @l'' signal (mismatch signal) only when they do not match.This mismatch signal is sent to the row counter JO is counted up and given to the AND circuit 31 via the input arm 32 as a dirt signal.

The read/write mode of the memory 29 is specified by the control unit 23, and when in the write mode, the arithmetic circuit ! The output from r is written, and when in the highlighting mode, the contents of the area designated by the line address PT are output to the selector 21 or the printing pad 7a 33. This print buffer 33 is a recorder that temporarily stores print data, and the print data stored here is sent to the print section 34 and printed.

Next, the counting operation by day of the week in the embodiment configured as described above will be explained with reference to chart 70 in FIG.

When the mode switch 11 with the key 10 is set to the "registration" mode and the amount of the product is entered into the amount key 11, the amount is stored in the A register 22 via the selector 21f. Thereafter, when the department key 12t corresponding to the product department is operated, the process 70- in FIG. 3 starts. First, in the Stella F81, a read command and a day of the week counter designation command are given to the clock circuit 24, and the day of the week contents of the day of the week counter are read out by the clock circuit 240 and then input into the B register 25 via the lid 21. In step a, rOJ is set in the row counter 30 by the control unit 23.The contents of the row counter 30 are sent to the ratio soft circuit 28, and the contents of the row counter 30 are sent to the ratio soft circuit 28, and the contents of the row counter 30 are sent to the ratio soft circuit 28, and the contents of the row counter 30 are sent to the ratio soft circuit 28, and the contents of the row counter 30 are sent to the ratio soft circuit 28, and the contents of the row counter 30 are sent to the ratio soft circuit 28. For example, if the day on which the registration operation is performed is Tuesday, the count value of the day of the week counter in the clock circuit 24 is "2", and therefore the content of the B reno star 25 is "2". 2” and the above line counter 3
The content of 0 does not match "0", and the comparison circuit 28 outputs a mismatch signal. Therefore, Stella f'm says "NO"
It is determined that this is the case and the process proceeds to Stetsuno S4. At step fB4, the counter 30 is incremented to "l" by the above-mentioned mismatch signal, and returns to step fBs again where it is compared with the content "2" of B register 25 in comparator circuit 28. Then, when Stella 7'' S a m 8 m is repeated in the same way as the previous time, the content of the row counter 30 becomes "2" this time, so the comparison circuit 28 no longer outputs a mismatch signal.

14-
Since the output of the address 32 becomes "11", the AND circuit 31 is opened and the content "2" of the row counter 30 is supplied to the memory 29 as the row address PT. Stella f8. Now, control section 2
3, a write mode designation is given to the memory 29, and the register 22 is written to the second line designated by the row address PT.
That is, the registered data, selector 26, arithmetic circuit 2
1t- written through. At this time, to be exact, the memory contents of the second line specified by the row address PTGCM are the selector 21.
is read out to the B register 25 via the
It is added together with the contents of `` in the arithmetic circuit 21 via the selector 26, and the result of the addition is written to the second line of the memory 29. Therefore, the registered data is aggregated in the area for sales aggregation on Tuesday in the area for aggregation by day of the week. Thereafter, registration processing for each department, person in charge, total cumulative sales, etc. is performed in ST and fB. Since this processing is a general processing operation and is not the gist of the present application, a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, please refer to the flowchart in Figure 44.

The calculation of the total data by day of the week will be explained.Generally, the calculation is done every day, and after the total data is printed out, the total data is cleared. However, the aggregated data by day of the week cannot be cleared at the time of daily payment, so
In this embodiment, an arbitrary date t-m is set as the specified settlement date.

The clock circuit 246 is configured so that the day-of-week total data is settled by a settlement operation when the clock data reaches that date. For example, if you want to settle the aggregate data by day of the week on November 30th, set the % mode switch 11 to "
When the date key IJa and cash key 16 are used to operate 11 E state 30 kuku ku Shu, the date data of November 30th is input to Mulenosta 22, and when the last cash key 1g is operated. Controlled by the control unit 23, the selector 26 and the arithmetic circuit 2r
The 255th line of the memory 29, the day of the week settlement specified date MSI
It is budded as 'l'.

However, @ for payment is mode switch, Chi Ilf "MI calculation"
When the cash key 16 is set and the cash key 16 is operated, the flow shown in FIG. 14 starts. First up is Stella! At 811, the control unit 2
3 gives a read command and a month/day data designation command to the clock circuit 24, reads the month/date data from the hour hand circuit 24, and writes it to the B register 25 via the selector 21. Then, the control unit 2S sets the row counter 30 to "25". "25" set in this row counter so
” specifies the 29025th line in the memory as the line address PT. In step all, the setting mode designation is given from the control unit 23 to the memory 2#, and the content stored in the 25th line, that is, the designated day of week settlement M81T, is sent to the selector 21.
The data is successively outputted to the B register 22 via the B register 25 and compared with the current date and month data stored in the B register 25 in the arithmetic circuit 27. If today is not November 30th, Stella 818 will determine NO, and the program will proceed to step f 81, where data such as departmental totals, 5 totals for each person in charge, and transactional totals will be printed out. followed by step f 811
Clear the data printed above. In addition, if it is judged as [YE8 J in the above Step StS, that is, if today is November 30th, Step 814
Proceed to.

In this step, the control unit 23 inputs “
0" to specify the 2900th line of the memory. Next, in step Sll, the control unit 23 specifies the read mode for the memory 2#, and the contents of the 2900th line of the memory are printed.
Then, in step StS, the print data in the print buffer 33 is printed. The cumulative sales data for Sunday stored in the 0th line of the memory 29 is now printed. After that, the process proceeds to step 817. In step sty, the control unit 23 controls the row counter 5O1- to count up! Then, in the next step 81-, it is determined whether the content of the row counter 30 has become "7". This determination is made within the control section 23. If the result is "NO", return to step all],
The same process as above is performed for Monday's cumulative sales data, and when the printout for Saturday's cumulative sales data is completed, the content of the line counter 30 becomes "7".
” So, Ste! At 81-, it is determined that r Y18 J, and the process proceeds to stave Sl.

In this step, the zero-order Stella f8.・The following is the ordinary liquid tin salt mentioned above.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the payment receipt for the day-of-the-week total data compiled in this manner.

In the above embodiment, the day-of-the-week aggregated data is settled on any specific day, but it may be settled every 1' month, for example.
This may be done periodically, or the total data for each day of the week may be printed out at the time of daily settlement, and only the clearing may be done on a specific day.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the memory for counting by day of the week is stored once for each day of the week.
Although each book is provided, it is also possible to provide memory for counting by days of the week, for example, for each department or region.

As explained above, according to the present invention, since sales are automatically tallied by day of the week, it is possible to save the labor of manually tallying the settlement results for each day of the week. In addition, with Kihei, even stores that do not use sales data by day of the week can easily see sales data by day of the week, which can be greatly utilized as management information necessary for product management, personnel management, business analysis, etc. It is possible and very effective.
