Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR).
In particular, ECR that creates reports all at once based on multiple types of information regarding registered products.
Regarding.

The ECR is provided with a memory that stores registered information.

This memory stores the total amount and number of registrations for each product category, and also stores the total amount for each person in charge and the total amount for credit sales.

Also, depending on the ECR, the price data for multiple products is preset in the memory, and by operating a department key, the corresponding price data for the single product is read out from the memory and registered.
U) Some have functions.

Such an ECR with a PLU function stores the cumulative sales of products and the number of sales of preset single item price data.

By the way, in the above-mentioned ECH, for example, in order to settle the sales amount for the day after business hours, it is necessary to read out the total amount stored in the memory and create a report.

In this case, first, a report is created by operating a predetermined key to read out the total amount for each department, the number of times it has been registered, and so on.

Thereafter, further key operations are performed to create, for example, a report for each PLU, and further key operations are performed to create reports for various totalizers.

In this manner, in the conventional ECR, when creating multiple types of reports, key operations are required for each type.

Therefore, after an operator has created a report based on a certain type of information, there is a problem in that the operator is required to perform complicated key operations each time he or she creates the next report.

Therefore, the main purpose of this invention is to be able to create multiple types of reports at once by inputting the types of information that need to be created as a report all at once, thereby eliminating the need for cumbersome key operations during the process. The objective is to provide an ECR that can be made unnecessary.

To summarize, this invention stores N types of information as report information, and inputs information representing the type to be created as a report using an input means and stores it.

Then, in response to a report creation command being given, a report is created by reading out corresponding report information based on information representing the type.

The present invention will be described in more detail below along with embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, key input signals given from the keyboard 1 shown in FIG. 1 are given to a CPU 2 as a control means.

A memory 3, a display 4, and a printer 5 are provided in association with the CPU 2.

FIG. 3 is an illustrative diagram showing data stored in the memory 3 shown in FIG. 2.

In the figure, the memory 3 includes a storage area 31 for storing report information such as the total amount for each department and the number of registrations, and a storage area 31 for storing report information such as the total amount and the number of registrations for each preset unit price data. It includes an area 32 and a storage area 33 for storing report information such as a total, a total by person in charge, and a total due.

Furthermore, the memory 3 has a storage area 3 as a numeric register that temporarily stores numeric data input from the numeric key 13.
4, storage areas 301 to 30n for storing type information to be created as a report, and these storage areas 301.
. . . 30n.

FIG. 4 is an illustrative diagram showing the key operation procedure for creating a report, in particular, FIG. 4a shows the key operation procedure by a conventional ECR, and FIG. It is an illustrative view showing a procedure.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the specific operation of one embodiment of the present invention.

Note that this embodiment also has a function of creating one type of report for each key operation, similar to the conventional ECR.

Therefore, first, the conventional operation when creating a report for each type will be explained.

Based on the operating procedure shown in FIG. 4a, the mode selector switch 11 is used to select the inspection mode or the payment mode.

Then, input the numerical value "1" from the number key 12.

The CPU 2 constantly determines whether or not there is a key input signal from the keyboard 1, and when a key input signal is given from the numeric key 12, the CPU 2 stores the value "1" in the numeric register 3 of the memory 3.
Store in 4.

Next, when the operator operates the X/Z key 15, the CP
U2 is when the X/Z key 15 is operated and the mode is X mode or Z.
Determine whether the mode is selected.

A predetermined mode is selected and the numerical value stored in the number register 34 is determined to determine whether the numerical value is "1" or not.

If the numerical value is "1", the report information for each department stored in the storage area 31 is read out and printed by the printer 5.

Then, the number register 34 is cleared to return to the initial state.

Next, when creating a PLU report, press the numeric key 12.
After inputting the numerical value "2" from , operate the X/Z key 15.

Thereby, in the same manner as described above, if the CPU 2 determines that the content of the number register 34 is the numerical value "2", it reads out each data stored in the storage area 32 and causes the printer 5 to print it. .

In the same way, input "3" from numeric key 12 and
When the Z key 15 is operated, each data stored in the storage area 33 is read out and created as a report.

Next, with reference to the key operation procedure shown in FIG. 4b, the operation when creating department reports, PLU reports, and various totalizer reports all at once will be described.

The operator first selects PX using the mode selector switch 11.
Set to Z mode.

Then, after inputting the number "1" from the number key 12, χ
/ Operate Z key 15.

The data input from the numeric key 12 is input to the numeric register 34.
Stored in

Then, when the CPU 2 determines that the X/Z key is operated and the X or Z mode is not selected, the PXZ
mode or not.

If the mode is PXZ mode, the counter 35 is incremented by 1.

Then, if the content of the counter 35 is the numerical value "1", the CPU 2 stores the numerical value "1" stored in the numeric register 34 in the storage area 301.

Subsequently, when the operator inputs the numerical value "2" from the number key 12 and operates the X/Z key 15, the content of the counter 35 is incremented by 1 and becomes the numerical value "2" in the same manner as described above.

Then, if the content of the counter 35 is a numerical value "2", the CPU 2 stores the numerical data in the storage area 302.

Also, if the operator inputs the number "3" from the numeric key 12 and then operates the X/Z key 15, the memory area 303
The numeric data “3” is stored in .

As described above, the types of information to be created as a report are stored in the storage areas 301 to 30n of the memory 3.

Next, the operation when creating a report will be explained.

The operator can control PXZ without operating the numeric keys etc.
Operate only key 16.

When the PXZ key 16 is operated, the CPU 2
Store the number ``1'' in 5.

The CPU 2 determines whether the content of the counter 35 is n+1.

This is because if the content of the counter 35 is n+1, none of the storage areas 301 to 30n can be specified, so the content of the counter 35 is cleared.

If the content of the counter 35 is not n+1, it is determined whether the content of the counter 35 is +1.

If the numerical value is "1", the information representing the type stored in the storage area 301 is transferred to the number register 34.

Then, the CPU 2 changes the contents of the numeric register 34 to the numerical value "1".
”, the report of the type represented by the numerical value “1”, that is, each departmental data stored in the storage area 31 is read out and printed by the printer 5.

Thereafter, the CPU 2 increments the counter 35 by 1.

By repeating this operation, the contents of the counter 35 are sequentially incremented, and the PLU data stored in the storage area 32 and the PLU data stored in the storage area 30n are incremented by the information representing the type of report stored in the storage areas 302 to 30n. The data stored in the printer 5 is sequentially read out and printed by the printer 5.

As described above, according to the present invention, the types of information to be created as a report are preset in advance, and in response to an instruction to create a report, the preset types of information are sequentially read out and the report is created. It can be created as

Therefore, it is no longer necessary to perform key operations every time one type of report is created, as is the case in the past, and the operator's time and effort can be saved.
