Abstract

PURPOSE:To use counters and a totalizer of every department for an object independently of summing of sales amounts, by providing a total mode selection flag corresponding to a department code and a flag setting means which can arbitrarily set the flag for a memory area. CONSTITUTION:An RAM of an electronic cash register ECR is provided with a mode flag Pn (n=1-20) and a mode selection flag Qn. With a mode key 9 on a keyboard selected to the P mode, a department code for flag set is inputted with a department key 11. When the flag pn of the department code is desired to be set to 1, the print of entry data such as amount of money of the department code is made for only the journal, not made for the receipt. When the flag Qn is set to 1, a totalizing function by department is operated separately from a totalizer ITM by customer with a counter Cn by department and a totalizer Tn by department. Thus, the counter Cn and the totalizer Tn can be used for other applications independently of the logging of the sales amount of money, such as classification of customers into types of customers and totalizing the number of customers.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as FOR) button, and particularly relates to an improvement in one having a departmental tabulation function.

As is well known, many ordinary ECRs have a departmental aggregation function. In other words, in addition to simply summing up the total armaments of purchased products for each wish using a customer totalizer (itemizer), each product is divided into categories in advance, and points for uniform sales are set for each category. The system is configured to count the sales amount using a departmental counter provided for each department, and to accumulate the sales amount for each department using a departmental totalizer provided for each department. The conventional departmental aggregation function using this departmental counter and departmental totalizer is
The data accumulated in the 1IIF totalizer is also totaled by department using a departmental counter and a departmental totalizer, and is inseparable from the cumulative function of the customer-specific totalizer.

Therefore, for example, in an ECR that can measure up to 20 departments, it is actually used for 15 departments, but
Even if the remaining five departments were unusable tin, it was not possible to separate the classification aggregate *ia of these five departments from the customer totalizer and divert it to other purposes.

The departmental aggregation functions of the departmental counter and departmental totalizer are used for other purposes separately from the customer-specific totalizer, for example, when the customer is an office worker, housewife, student, adult, child, etc. You can calculate the amount added to the customer total by dividing the number of customers into each customer type, totaling the number of issued service stamps, totaling the number of free service items, etc. This means that it is used for aggregating matters that are not directly related.

Conventionally, when attempting to perform aggregation unrelated to product sales data as described above, it was necessary to use an ECR having a dedicated aggregator for such aggregation.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional points, and its purpose is to replace unused departmental counters and departmental totalizers with customer-specific totalizers in an ECR having a departmental aggregation function. The object of the present invention is to provide an ECR that is separated from the cumulative total function and can be used for other purposes unrelated to the totaling of sales proceeds, such as the example described above.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an aggregation mode selection flag set in a predetermined memory area corresponding to each department code, and a flag setting means for arbitrarily setting the contents of this mode selection flag. When numerical data and a department code are input, the mode selection flag above corresponding to that department code is checked first, and if this is set to a specific content, the numerical data is transferred to the customer-specific totalizer. It is characterized in that it is configured such that only the departmental totalizer and the departmental counter are updated without adding to the departmental totalizer and the departmental counter.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the overall schematic structure of an ECR according to the present invention. The eight-doware configuration shown in this figure is similar to the conventional ECR
is the same as CPLll (Central Processing Unit), RO
M2 (II fixed register unit) and RAM3 (variable data storage unit) are the core of the entire input/output control and data processing. Keyboard operated by staff 4. Buzzer as acoustic notification means 5. Numbers and alphabets etc. Display W6. The printer 7 and drawer 8 that print receipts, journals, reports, etc. are controlled by the CPU 1. The CPU 1 executes the system program stored in the ROM 2. , RAM 3 are used as various variable data storage areas to perform the following control.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the key arrangement on the keyboard 4, which, like a normal ECR, includes a mode key 9, a numeric keypad 10 for inputting numerical data such as sales amount, and a "department code". A department key 11 for inputting ``1'' to ``20'' (in this embodiment, it has a totaling function for 200 departments), a subtotal key 12, and a deposit/1! key 13
etc. are arranged.

5- 3 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 3.

Numeric key 1 until the end of aggregation is input with I key 13.
The sales amount entered sequentially at 0 is the total for each customer - ITM
will be added to. 01~C20 is department code "1"~
This is a departmental counter set corresponding to "20", and normally, each time a department code (n) is input using the department key 11, one is added to the departmental counter Cn. ■1～T2
0 is a departmental totalizer set corresponding to the department codes "1" to "20", and normally, when numerical data (amount) is input and the department code rnJ is input with the department key 11, The numerical data is added to the section totalizer Tn. This is the configuration related to a general departmental aggregation function.

In addition, in the present invention, each department code "1" to "20"
There are two types of mode flags P1 to P20 corresponding to
and Q1 to Q20 are set.

These mode flags Pn and Qn can be arbitrarily set by operating the keyboard 4 in a manner similar to the discussion. The mode flag Pn is 11 in total for each section.
Numerical data (department registration data) added to 1Tn,
This flag determines whether or not to print departmental data on the receipt. In this embodiment, when Pn-"0", printing is performed on the receipt, and when Pn-"1'", printing is not performed on the receipt. The mode selection flag Qn is
This is the aggregation mode selection flag mentioned above. In other words, the departmental counter Qn and the departmental totalizer 7n are set to the customer total -
ITM aggregation - When operating as a normal departmental aggregation function used in connection with sushi, set the mode selection flag Q.
If n is set to "O" and the departmental counter Qn and the departmental totalizer 7n are used for a personal purpose, separate from the totalization function of the customer totalizer rTM, this mode selection flag Qn is set. is set to “1”.

The 411th is the cumulative operation related to the ** separate totalizer ITM, the totalization operation related to the departmental count @lcn and the departmental total -Tn, and the CPU related to the mode selection flags Pn and Qn.
1 is a flowchart showing a control program (stored in ROM 2) of FIG.

The following will be sequentially explained based on this flowchart.

First, the operation of setting the mode selection flags Pn and Qn will be explained. In this case, the mode key 9 is set to P mode, and the department code for setting the flag is input using the department key 11. Then, in the fourth s, step 101→
102 → 103 → 104 → 105, and here the data and flag indicate whether to set the 7-lag Pn to "0" or "1". If you input the data of whether n is O# or "1", this manual will be accepted in step 1o5,
The above mode selection flag Pn set in RAM3
, Qn are set to their input states.

Next, set the mode key 9 to REG mode to register purchase data, etc. (then perform WRII. First, numeric key 1
0 and input the purchase amount, for example, the 4th WI
In step 101→1°2, the set number data is stored in a predetermined storage unit. When you enter the department code of that bale and the purchased product using department key 11,
The process proceeds in steps 103→104→106→107, and the input department code is displayed on display-6. Then, in step 108, it is determined whether the mode selection flag pn corresponding to the department code input in step 103 is "O". If the flag Pn is "0", the amount data stored in step 102 by the printer 7 and
The department code input in step 103 is printed in a predetermined format on both the receipt and the journal. Also, if the flag pn is set to "1", keep in mind that this will not be printed on the receipt, and in this case proceed to step 113, print the above-mentioned number data and department code only on the journal, and print it on the receipt. will not be carried out.

After step 109 or 113, in step 110 the mode selection flag Qn corresponding to the department code is
It is determined whether or not the value is "0". The reason why the flag Qn is set to "O" is that the totaling operation of the customer totalizer fTM and the divisional totaling operation of the departmental counter 9-Cn and the departmental totalizer 7n are performed in a series. In this case, step 11
Proceed to step 1, and enter the number data inputted in step 102 (
amount) is added to the customer-specific totalizer ITM. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step -112, where 1 is added to the departmental counter Cn, and the number data inputted at step 102 is added to the departmental totalizer 7n.

Also, in step 110, the corresponding selection flag Qn
##1”, this is a departmental count @
Cn, departmental aggregation function with departmental total 117n,
It refers to a processing mode that is the main part of the present invention and operates in conjunction with the customer-specific totalizer rTM, and in this case, step 11
Step 112 is directly amplified without executing step 1.

That is, the number data input in step 102 is not added to the customer total 117M, but is added to the department totalizer Tn.
At the same time, the departmental count 11Cn is incremented.

As mentioned above, by arbitrarily setting the mode selection flag pn to 10-“O” or ’1″’, it is possible to arbitrarily select whether or not to print the department registration data on the receipt. By arbitrarily setting "O" or "1" to "0" or "1", in addition to the conventional normal operation mode in which the sales amount aggregation operation of the customer totalizer ITM and the departmental aggregation function are directly related, Customer-specific totalizer IT
It is possible to have only the departmental counter C and the departmental total 117 perform counting and totaling operations without involving M. In other words, this allows the unused departmental counter C and departmental total IT to be used for other purposes unrelated to aggregating sales data. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as counting the number of issued service stamps, counting the number of free service items, etc.

Note that when you finish counting the - number of customers and press the deposit/current key 13, steps 103 → 114 → 115 → 116 → 11
7, and in this step 117 the total for each customer is 111TM
The content (ITM>, that is, the total amount is displayed on the display 6. Then, in step 118, the total amount (ITM) is printed on the receipt and journal. Next step 11
Clear the totalizer ITM by customer in step 9 and proceed to the next step 12
Issue a receipt in step 2. This completes the series of aggregation operations. Also, if you set the mode switch 9 to P mode and press the II/II key 13, step 114 → 1
The process proceeds from 15 to 122, and a receipt can be issued. Also, set the mode switch 9 to X mode or 2 mode! jl/1! If key 13 is pressed, step 114
→ 115 → 116 → 120 → 121 → 122, and reports and receipts can be issued.

As explained in detail above, the EOR according to this invention is
The departmental aggregation function related to the sales data aggregation operation of the customer totalizer can be performed only for the necessary departments as necessary, separately from the sales data aggregation operation of the customer totalizer. Any totalization can be performed using only the totalizer, which greatly expands the usage of ECR.
