JPS5824960A - Logger - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for individual logging programs for each shop, by indicating the specifications of logging in a table for ease of free alteration, and changing the specification for logging, without much man-hour, in a very short time. CONSTITUTION:A logger is provided with a keyboard 2, a CPU1, a display 3 and a printer 4, and also the 2nd memory 6 having various tables and buffers and the 1st memory 5 for program storage. When a commodity code and a sales amount are inputted to an input buffer of the memory 6 from a keyboard 2, a comparison table pointer is advanced step by step to compare the code inputted to the input buffer at each logging item with the range of code in the logging items indicated at a comparison table pointer. When the inputted code is within the range of codes on the comparison table and a flag for addition corresponding to the log level number of the logging items is set ON, the inputted sales amount is added to a logging area corresponding to the logging items to set the flag ON.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an aggregation device, and more particularly, to an aggregation device for aggregating daily reports of total sales for each product, total sales for each product category, total sales for all products, etc. at a gas station, etc. Regarding.

Generally, in a tabulation device used at a gas station, for example, tabulation specifications such as tabulation items and aggregation codes are determined as shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), and the tabulation items are stored in the memory of the tabulation device. Aggregation areas M1 to M8 as shown on the right side of the figure are provided correspondingly, and sales amounts are added to the aggregation areas corresponding to each annual interest item each time a product is sold. For example, Figure 1 (a
) specifications, if gasoline with an octane number is sold, the items No. Iota, total fuel, and total total are totaled, and the total area M1. The sales amount is added to M4 and M8.

Conventionally, such aggregation processing has been performed based on an aggregation program stored in a memory within an aggregation device. For example, as shown in Figure 2, when a product code and sales amount are entered from the keyboard into the input cover sofa, the content of the product code is determined and the sales amount is added to the total area corresponding to the necessary item. was being carried out.

However, the specifications of the above-mentioned aggregation items may be different depending on each store, and in the conventional aggregation device, when changing the top of the aggregation, the aggregation program itself must be changed. This has the disadvantage of requiring a great deal of time and effort.

In view of the problems with the conventional type mentioned above, the purpose of the present invention is based on the concept of creating a table of all the aggregation specifications in the aggregation device and making it possible to change them freely. The present invention is equipped with a keyboard, a central processing unit, a memory for program storage, and a working memory so that the aggregation specifications can be changed without requiring a a comparison table that stores the product code range, aggregation level number, and aggregation area number included in each item for each aggregation item; a comparison table pointer that indicates all the aggregation item positions in the comparison table; When the addition completed flag indicating that addition has been made for each aggregation level, all the input cover sofas, the keyboard product code, and the sales amount are input into the input buffer, the comparison table pointer is sequentially incremented. The product code entered in the input buffer for each summary item is compared with the product code range in the summary item indicated by the comparison table pointer, and the product code is included in the product code range of the comparison table. and if the added flag for the aggregation level number of the aggregation item is off, add the sales amount input into the input buffer to the aggregation area corresponding to the aggregation item, and then turn on the addition flag. The percentage is calculated by calculating the total for each total item.

The present invention will be described in detail below using the drawings.

FIG. 6 shows the entire configuration of a totalizing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The totalizing device includes a central processing unit 1, a keyboard 2, a display 6 including a numeric display, a printer 4, a first memory 5 for storing programs, and a second memory 6 provided with various tables and buffers. Be equipped.

In such a configuration, when there is a sale of a certain product, when the product code representing the product and the sales amount are input from the keyboard 2, these product code and sales amount are displayed on the display device B.

At the same time, the totalization program stored in the first memory 5 and various tables and flags provided in the second memory 6 are used to calculate the total according to each of the above-mentioned total items, and the totalization stored in the second memory 6 is performed. The aggregation results are stored in the area. The tally results are outputted to the printer 4 as daily report tally data, for example, after business hours have ended.

In order to perform the above-mentioned aggregation process, the second memory 6 includes a comparison table, which will be described later, and an input cover for temporarily storing the product code and sales amount data from the keyboard 2.
A comparison table pointer PT that indicates an item in the comparison table, an addition completed flag FO, Fl, F2 that indicates that addition has been completed for each totaled bell, and a totalization area M1 or M1 having an area corresponding to each totalized item. M8 etc. are provided.

Figures 4(a) and 4(b) show the complete format of the comparison table. Figure 4 (al) and Figure 4 (b) are created based on the aggregation specifications of Figure 1 (a) and Figure 1 (b), respectively. These comparison tables each have nine items ■ or ■ All rows are filled, and each of the top ■ or ■ is a tally code range and a tally level number Un (n-0,
1, 2), and the total area number Mm (m=1.2.・
, 8) are stored, and the table end mark is stored in the item ■ which is 1.

For example, item ■ in the comparison table in Figure 4 (al) includes aggregation code range 015 to 016, aggregation level number UD,
and total area number M2 are stored.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the entire counting process performed based on the program stored in the first memory 5 of the counting device shown in FIG. This aggregation process is executed after a certain product has been sold and the product code representing the product and the sales amount are stored in the input/2 software from the keyboard as described above. In this aggregation process, all the added flags FD, Fl, F2'i
It is reset and set as comparison table pointer PTi■. Next, it is determined whether the product code stored in the input cover sofa is included in the total code range in the comparison table item indicated by the comparison table pointer PT (=1), and if it is included in the total code range. If so, the totalization level number Un and totalization area number Mm in the item are all read out to a predetermined work area. Next, it is fully determined whether the addition method flag Fn corresponding to the readout aggregation level number Un is on or off, and if it is off, the sales amount stored in the input cover sofa is aggregated as indicated by the aggregation area number Mm. It is added to the area and the added flag Fnf is turned on or set.

If the addition method flag is on in the above judgment, the addition is not performed and the comparison table pointer PT is incremented by one item in total. In this way, the comparison table pointer PT'
Steps are taken sequentially in step i94, and the sales amount is added to the item whose product code stored in the manual buffer falls within the total code range of the item indicated by the pointer PT. After the addition, an addition method flag corresponding to the aggregation level number UnK of the item indicated by the pointer PT is set. Once this flag is set, items with the same aggregation level number will not be added in the same aggregation process even if the product code ranges match. Then, when the comparison table pointer PT reaches 9, all table end marks are found and the totaling process is completely completed. Note that the aggregation level number Un is determined depending on the nature of the aggregation item, for example, the item total (Un
-CI), subtotal (U1=1), total (U2=2), etc., depending on the aggregation specifications.

Next, as a specific example, the comparison table shown in Figure 4(a) is used, and the product "Regular" (product code "O") is used.
15") is input, full explanation will be given.

"015" and the amount are placed on the cover sofa, and the counting process (FIG. 5) is started.

1 All addition method flags FO to F2 are reset and comparison table pointer PT is set to 1.

Since the product code 015"' of the 2-person hippo sofa does not match the product code range 010 to 010 of item 1 of the comparison table, do nothing and increment the pointer PT to 2.

6. Since the product code 015'' of the manual buffer is included in the product code range 015 to Dj6 of item 2, all UO and M2 stored in item 2 are read and hung.

4. After checking the addition method flag FO corresponding to the read UO and confirming that no addition has been performed, add the amount data in the input data to the autopsy area M2. After the addition, the added flag FD is set to 1.

5 Even if the pointer PT=3, the product codes match, but since the addition method flag FQ=1, no addition is performed.

6 In this manner, the product codes are compared while the pointer PTi is sequentially advanced, and when the product codes match, addition is performed if the addition method flag Fn is 0. Therefore, since one addition is allowed at each aggregation level, the aggregation areas to which the sales amount of the product "Regular" (゛°formerly 5'') is finally added are M2, M4 and M8, that is, the Aggregation processing equivalent to the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 is performed.

The above-mentioned aggregation process was explained according to the aggregation specifications shown in FIG. 1(a), but when performing the aggregation process according to the aggregation specifications shown in FIG. )
It can be adapted to Dutch studies by simply changing it as shown (the * mark indicates the changed part). Furthermore, since the arrangement of each piece of information in the comparison table is similar to that in the specifications, the tabulation specifications can be easily changed without the need for a specialized programmer.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the aggregation specifications can be easily changed in a very short time, and there is no need to prepare separate aggregation processing programs for each store.
