Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Regarding the tacode input method.

Alphape! For electronic registers that do not have a key code, there are 9 ways to display or print the product name in middle characters. - Characters are associated with combinations of 2- to 3-digit numerical values, and the character corresponding to the desired product name is input by inputting the combination of the numerical values. However, if the characters are designated by two or three digit numerical values as in the above-mentioned conventional method, two to three times the number of characters are required to delete the product name. If there are many product names that need to be selected, the key operations become very complicated, and there is a problem in that it takes a long time to use the keys.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and a series of middle-class codes indicating product names etc. are stored in advance in a storage device. At the time of reset, by reading and deleting a series of character codes from the above storage device,
Quickly and reliably with simple key operations! An object of the present invention is to provide a character code input method that can perform reset processing.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure shows the configuration of Φ-Goot 1 of the electronic register. This key &-)' 1 has a department key 2 for specifying each sales department, a numeric key 3 for inputting numerical data,
Person in charge key 4 for specifying the person in charge, conversion key 5 for data conversion, PLU (Price Le, Ri, A, De) key 6,
Clear key 1', 10th case, middle character key (CHI) that specifies the character in G, #, 20th case, character dp-(C
H2) 9, a mode switch 10 for switching and specifying each operation mode, a subtotal medium 11, and a totalizing CA key 12 are provided. The mode switch 10 is set to turn off the power,
Registration mode REG for normal registration processing; Return mode RF for returning money to the drawer; Preset mode PR for processing item prices, etc.;
Each mode is switched between inspection mode PX, which performs inspection processing, and payment mode 2, which performs payment processing.

Next, the circuit configuration of the electronic register will be explained with reference to FIG. In the figure, 21 is a CPU, and this CPU ff
iJ is connected to the main body memory 22 via the address path AB1 data bus Dll and the control path CB, as well as the manual control section 23, display control section 24%, print control section 25's PA, far register IN% DI, PR. are connected respectively.〇An input unit 26 is connected to the input control unit 21, and when the above key is operated by one key, 1f
c9 - Key human power signal Kl according to sampling signal KP
is sent from the input section jσ to the input control section 23. Further, the display section 21 is connected to the display control section 24, and the segment signal 8G and digital signal DG are outputted from the display section 24 to perform display control on the display section jPK.
A printing unit 28 is connected to the printing control unit 21.
The tie/interval pulse TP is sent to the print control unit 25.The print control unit 25 detects the tie/intermediate pulse TP and sends an I/marker drive signal HD to the printing unit 28 to perform predetermined print control. On the other hand, connect u and a to the address bus AH, data bus DB, and control/4th bus CB.
The first and second cassette memories 3ob via the m child 29
, sob are connected.

Therefore, the main body memory 12 stores, for example, a total by department, a total by transaction, a total by person in charge, a total by category, and Put1.
Sales data such as totals are registered, and unit prices for each product are summed up to be calculated.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the cassette, ) memory 30*, 30b contains a series of characters indicating product names at addresses "01" to "99", for example, "○○O Coffee" at address "Ol", "02" address rxxx coffee", "03"
``ΔΔΔ Coffee'' is written in the address.

Next, I will explain the character code input operation. When setting the product name, etc. using a character code, the mode switch 10 shown in FIG. 1 is used to specify the delivery mode PR1. Then, input a two-digit numerical value indicating a character by operating the number key 3, and select one of the character keys 8 and 9 to select the first spool.

Specify the character in the main memory 20a or second cassette F memo 1] sob. Next, by operating the number key 3, the address of the PLU memory in the main body memory 22 is specified, and by operating the PLU key 6, a character is set to the PLU memo IJ.

Hereinafter, specific processing operations when the key operations shown in FIG. 4 are performed will be explained with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 5.

The CPU j 1 performs sampling for the input control section 23 as shown in steps 81 and 81 of FIG. Read the output of N into the A register, and determine whether the content is "0" in step S1.
If it is "O", it returns to ST, DE S1 and repeats the same operation. That is, the presence or absence of key human power is determined by repeating ST, DE S1+St. If it is determined in step B3 that the content of the A register is not #frOJ, the key content is determined in step D83FC. If it is determined in step S3 that numeric data has been input, numeric data is entered in step S4, and the numeric data is written into the B register. The numeral data held in this B register is sent to the display control unit 24 via the display path and DI as shown in ST and DI.
It is displayed on the display section z1. Thereafter, the display processing for the input number is performed in the same manner. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, if a numeric operation of [rOJr2J is performed, "02" is displayed on the display section 27.Following the above numeric operation, the first cassette memory 30 is specified. If the character key g (CHl) is operated, it is determined that a key other than the numeric key has been operated in ST and DE Ss, and the process proceeds to step S, where the mode at that time is determined. When the mode is other than preset mode PR, processing according to the designated mode is performed, but in this case, since it is preset mode PR, the process advances to ST, DE Sγ, and it is checked whether character keys 8 and 9 have been operated. A judgment will be made. If the character key 8 is being operated, the process advances from ST, DE S7 to ST, DE SS, writes the flag register PK@1'', and writes the flag register PK@1'' in the first cassette memory 80m as shown in step 8-. 02"
The contents of the address "XXXX coffee" are read and written to the B register.

Next, the process advances to step S1, and the content of the B register is displayed on the display section z7, and "rXXX coffee" is printed in the printing section 28 as shown in step step S1, and the process returns to step step S1. next.

When writing the above character to address 80 of the PLU memory, lCr8Jr, OJr PLU
Perform the J key operation@First, when you perform the numeric operation for "8" rOJ, the contents of the digit will be displayed on the display 2 as described above.
Displayed as 1. Next, when you operate key 6 of r FLU J, ste, de s.

Proceed to step 81g via S6*87 and press PLU key 6.
It is determined whether or not the PLU key 6 has been operated, and if the PLU key 6 has been operated, the program proceeds to step StS, where it is determined whether the contents of the flag register F are @II' or @0#.

If the contents of the flag register F are @0'', it will be processed as a no-7 anxy violation (NF), but at this point, 1'' has been written to the 7-lag register F with ST and DE S=, so First, the contents of the 7-lag register F are rewritten to "0" as shown in STS 814, and then, in STS, the character is deleted to the PLU memory indicated by the set number data. That is, in this case, the character "XXX Coffee" is set at address 80 of the PLU memory. In addition to the above-mentioned characters, the unit price and the number of units sold are also written in the PLU memory at the time of registration. By the same process, P
It is possible to delete characters read from the cassette memories 30m and 30b into the LU memory. It is also possible to partially modify the data read from the cassette memories 30* and 30b and transfer them to the PLU memory. , the operation will be explained below ◎ For example, as shown in Fig. 4, "2" r 6 J r CH2-J key, -
When the operation is performed, the content "note C" at address 26 is read from the second cassette memory 30b through the above-described processing, written to the B register, and displayed on the display unit 21. When partially changing the content displayed on the display section 21, the conversion key 5 is first operated. When this conversion key 5 is operated, ste, de 81
If the result of the determination in step 1 is NO, the process proceeds to step StS, where it is determined whether or not the conversion key 5 has been operated. If the conversion key is not 5, other processing is performed depending on the key content, but if conversion $-J is operated, the process advances to Step 81,
It is determined whether or not a number has been entered immediately before the conversion key. Since no number has been entered at this point, the process advances to step StS.

Display the cursor with cursor I Inter CP contents tr+IJL, , step, de 8■. This cursor display displays an underline below the characters. Since the content of the cursor pointer CP is initially "0", the content of the cursor pointer CP becomes "1" by the process of step 811, and the cursor is displayed for rCJ displayed in the first digit. It is done. After that, the display returns to ST and DE S through the display step S. From now on, each time you operate the conversion key 5, the cursor display is shifted to the left by one digit by the above process.
If it is to be converted to J, a numerical value corresponding to rDJ, for example, ``15'' is input by operating the numeric key 3 while the cursor is displayed on ``C'', and then -5 is operated during conversion. By operating this conversion key 5, the process goes through step 8111 to step 81? However, in this case, a numeric operation is being performed, so step Sa

After that, in ST and DE S, the contents of the B register are shifted to the right by one digit. Next, proceed to Ste, DeSO8,
The content of the conversion character rDJ is set to "-1" in the digit of the B register indicated by the cursor pointer CP. Next, the process proceeds to step SKI, where "2" is subtracted from the digit number pointer gp of the numeric input, and it is determined in step s-- whether the content of the digit number pointer gp is "0" or not. That is, since a 1-digit character is specified by a 2-digit number, it is determined in step, step, step, and step 6 whether or not the modification of the specified data has been completed. In step, fs ■, the number of digits 4 inter EP is “o

Return to 1st layer.

After the above data conversion, K F
By specifying the address of the LD memory, for example address r81J, and operating the PLU key 6, the K
Presetting to the PLU memory is performed.

In addition, in the above example, the cassette memo! 730m.

Although the character code is pre-stored in the 30b, it is of course possible to use any other storage medium such as a ROM, a floppy disk, or a magnetic tape.

As described above, according to the present invention, a series of character codes indicating product names etc. are stored in advance in a storage device, and at the time of presetting, the series of character codes are read from the storage device and preset in the main body memory. 0, it is possible to perform preset processing quickly and reliably with simple key operations.
