Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention uses a sample selection sheet that can express various specific desired items with a group of codes in order to select a desired sample for a specific product or article that has a large number of samples. The present invention relates to a sample selection method in which data such as the product number and price of a desired sample is printed out by inputting a group of codes into a computer and processing the data.

Conventionally, when selecting a desired sample of a specific product or article that has a large number of samples, for example, when a customer requests the presentation of multiple product samples, quotation, etc. If the product ranges in size, it is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive task to present the optimal sample that meets the customer's wishes.

Currently, we are only able to present a sample that satisfies the customer by having repeated conversations with the customer about their specific wishes, flipping through the pages of a thick catalog, and repeatedly presenting samples.
Sometimes the customer's wishes are vague, and as samples are repeatedly presented, the customer becomes confused and cannot decide on the desired product.

Also, especially when multiple types of samples are required.

Therefore, it takes a lot of time to select samples, and it is necessary to calculate estimates for each sample using a solo pan or a calculator each time, so there is no wasted time on both the customer and seller sides. It is quite considerable.

From the above viewpoint, the present invention aims to improve the work of selecting samples and the work of creating quotations associated therewith, by quickly presenting the optimum sample desired by the customer, calculating the price, etc., and improving the service to the customer. The aim is to improve the operations of retailers and retailers.

The sample selection sheet (1) has a theme column (2), an option column (3), and a score column (4) arranged in parallel, and a plurality of box-shaped frames (6) are formed by vertically and horizontally intersecting ruled lines. A title section (5) is provided at one end of each.

In the theme column (2), list specific items with numbers according to the theme items such as usage and purpose of use, and in the option column (
In the title section (5) of 3), select items such as quality and format are classified as appropriate in correspondence with all the item numbers in the theme column (2), and the specific contents for each category are listed in the theme column (2). Listed in orthogonal directions. In the box-shaped frame (6) where each item in the Q column (2) and each item in the option column (3) intersect with each other, the item in the theme column (2) should be selected as a required selection item. Multiple selection codes are provided for items that apply to the item, and items that do not apply are left blank.

The computer has an input section for inputting data such as the name and the code corresponding to the name, the code corresponding to each theme item, the required number of each theme item, a group of codes selected from the option column for each theme item, and each theme item. A storage unit that stores data covering all combinations of specific selection items and calculation procedures for each case, and stores input data; an arithmetic unit that calculates data according to the procedure of the program stored in the storage unit; It consists of a determination unit that makes a determination, and an output unit that prints out data using a printer.

For each item targeted in the theme column (2), first enter the required number of units with a code in the number entry column (40), mark the code of the item selected from the option column (3), and score the marked code. Entry field (Enter in 4 columns consecutively to form a group of codes and weight them.By inputting the above code group into the computer along with the name and a specific number corresponding to the name, the data pre-installed in the computer The input code group can be memorized, calculated, judged, and the product number, quantity, unit price, amount, and total amount for each theme item can be printed out at once along with the name.Next, new construction of a house, etc. The present invention will be explained based on the drawings by taking as a specific example a case where a lighting fixture is selected at the time of the installation.

A theme column (2) is provided on the left side of the horizontal paper, and the theme column (
2), there is a mounting location column (21) that lists multiple installation locations of lighting equipment in the vertical direction along with a mounting location number column, and in each column, for example, as shown in Figure 2, "1 Entrance porch" and " 2
"Inner Entrance" to "20 Tokonoma", followed by "21 Western-style room (1st floor)", "22 Stairs", "2
32nd floor hall, 242nd floor hallway, 25th bedroom.
, "26 Study", "Western-style room on the 1272nd floor", "Japanese-style room J on the 282nd floor, r292nd floor children's room", "Toilet on the 302nd floor", "3
1 Storeroom”, “32 Closet”, “33 Balcony”, “34 Outdoor light”, “35 Gate light”, “36
Items such as "Garden lights" are listed.

In addition, an option column (3) is formed on the right side of the theme column (2) following the theme column (2), and this option column lists a common needs item column (■) that lists general selection items and a special selection item. It consists of a unique needs item column (31). For example, at the top of the common needs item column■
”, “style”, and then list “light source”, “size”, “installation position”, “installation method”, etc. as selection items, and “light source” is incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp. , ``Size'' is 45 tatami or less, 6 tatami, 8 tatami, and 10 tatami or more, ``mounting position'' is ceiling or wall mounted, and ``mounting method'' is divided into pendant, direct mounting, recessed, etc. Form the title section (5) of the needs item column ■.

Similarly, regarding the Individual Needs Item Column), for example, ``Lifestyle'' (which forms the heading section (5), it is a column in which special selection items are entered, so the selection items are wide-ranging. , as there are few applicable theme items, due to space limitations, we have created an ``Other'' item.

The specific selection item in the title section (5) of the option column (3) and each theme item in the theme column (2) are vertically and horizontally crossed with each other as appropriate to form a box-shaped frame (6).

For each item in the theme column (2), from the title section (5) in the option column (3), write multiple consecutive numbers in the corresponding box-shaped frame for the item that needs to be selected, as shown in Figure 2. However, the boxes for items that do not require selection are left blank.

Note that the description in the box-shaped frame is not a number, but other numbers such as A and B.
Of course, symbols such as , C, A, 口, and C may also be used.

As shown in Figure 2, use the blank space in the ``Others'' column of the Individual Needs Items column (31) to enter information as needed, such as ``Presence or absence of a decorative ceiling'' for the theme ``6 Living Room'' and ``7 Reception Room.'' ” to form selections.

On the right side of the option column (3) is a mounting location number column (20a) similar to the mounting location number column ■ provided in the theme column (2).
) are placed side by side, and when entering the selected contents of each item in the installation location field Q1) in numbers in the score entry field f4Z to be described later, the names of the installation locations are made to correspond with the numbers to make it easier to write.

The score column (4) is the number entry column + 401, the score entry column (4
2 and a remarks column (41), and a mounting location number column (
20a) are arranged consecutively and in parallel on the right side. Quantity entry column (40
) allows you to enter the required number of lighting fixtures in the installation location number column (21), and in the score entry column (4'! A box-shaped frame is formed into sections, and the selected contents of the option column (3) can be entered numerically for each item in the mounting location column t211.

In the notes column 1), for example, write "auxiliary lighting and others" in the title section (5), and write "6" in the theme column (2) as shown in Figure 2.
If it is a living room, write down the codes that specifically indicate the contents of the auxiliary lighting, such as BR (meaning bracket), DL (downlight), cp (cord pendant), etc.
If desired, the presence or absence and type of auxiliary lighting can be displayed by marking the code.

Further, data columns (7) such as a column for entering the customer's name, address, and other necessary information, a column for writing the date, and a column for writing the person in charge are provided at the edge of the paper.

The computer has an input section for inputting the name entered in the data field (7), the number corresponding to the name, the number in the installation location number field ■, the number entry field (41 numbers, 11 points entry field 147J, and a group of numbers). 8) and the input section for entering the code in the notes column (41)), lighting fixture data and product numbers that predetermine and cover the installation location and applicable code corresponding to the option for each sample lighting fixture. A storage unit that stores data on electric capacity and average estimated usage time per day for each lighting device, input data, program procedures, etc., a calculation unit that calculates data according to the program procedures stored in the storage unit; It is comprised of a determination section that determines data, and an output section that prints out data using a printer or displays it on an image printing device.

In the sample selection method configured as described above, the actual work is to first mark the installation location number column @) according to the location where the lighting equipment is required.

Next, for all the items containing numbers in the option column (3) for the lighting fixtures in the installation locations marked with four circles, select the one that meets your requirements for each item and enter it with a circle (M).

Enter the required number in the number column (401), and enter the corresponding number of the item selected from the option column (3) in the score column (401).
2) in order and represent them with consecutive numbers (N).

If additional lighting is required, enter a circle (P) in the auxiliary lighting installation column.

Therefore, the content that covers all the customer's desired items regarding the lighting equipment for each installation location is indicated by a score entry column +42 and a comment column (4) by a group of numbers or symbols.

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the computer. First, the computer is started and set to a program for selecting lighting equipment. The customer's name and corresponding number, the installation location number, the required number of units, and the score entry column (each of the 42 codes are entered using the keyboard.The data is read and stored in a magnetic disk storage device. Data is calculated according to the procedure of a certain program and stored in the storage section.

If the item has a symbol for auxiliary lighting in the notes column (41), then [Is there a place to install auxiliary lighting?] ” and [YESJ
When installing auxiliary lighting, the selected code is entered on the keyboard, and the auxiliary lighting data is processed in the same way as above.

If you are not installing auxiliary lighting, move on to the next step. If there are multiple installation locations for the desired lighting fixture, select YES in the "Are there any installation locations yet?" and repeat the above operation. When the installation location items are exhausted, the next step is to select the display. When character display (CRT) is selected, the data of the desired lighting fixture will be processed for each installation location item, and the product number, quantity, unit price, amount, electricity bill, etc. will be displayed on the character display. The data is displayed on the device, and by selecting the printer (PTR), the processed data is printed and output.

As mentioned above, the present invention is not limited to lighting fixtures, but also furniture, fabrics, etc., and expresses in codes the specific contents selected for each of a plurality of theme items from a large number of samples of products or articles. By inputting these codes into the computer, you can enter the product number, quantity, unit price, etc. of the desired sample.
Amounts and their totals can be printed out at once and in a short time, and have excellent effects such as improving customer service in sample selection work and improving store operations.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and that various modifications can be made within the technical scope of the claims.
