3. Detailed description of the invention This invention is an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR).
In particular, the ECR is placed in a restaurant, for example, and manages products sold to each customer group.

With the recent development of electronic technology, the price of random access memory has become very cheap.

For this reason, ECH also provides information on products at a relatively low cost! [It is now possible to increase the steel value range. Therefore, for example, E
In CR, the number of product keys is increased and the restaurant menus and gift keys are often used in correspondence with each other. Along with this, unit price data for many products has been prepared in advance.
AM&:II can be recorded and the unit price data for that product can be registered just by operating the product key.
Moreover, each product! It is also useful for making changes to the menu easier.

However, with conventional ECR, although it is possible to manage data related to each product, it is not possible to manage the best sellers for each customer group, such as groups of women, male customers, or families. However, general management aspects such as remodeling the restaurant, changing the menu, and determining prices had to be left to the intuition of the manager and others.

Therefore, the main purpose of this invention is to sell products by customer group or by sales zone! A joyful ECRIIItI
! It is to provide.

To summarize this invention, a sales type specification means is provided for specifying each customer group or sales time/band, etc., and when the sales type is specified, the product is specified, and the price data of the product is input. Accordingly, product data, gold and steel data, and number data are stored cumulatively in storage areas corresponding to designated sales.

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

Mode 1 This is for selecting each mode of inspection mode and production mode. Customer demographic key 22 is female group customers,
This is for specifying each customer segment, such as male customers or families, and constitutes a means for specifying by sales. The product department key is a field key for specifying a product, and consists of 10 stages of product specification. The numeric keypad 24 is used to input numerical data such as product unit price data. The function keys 25 include a subtotal key 26 which is operated to calculate the subtotal of recorded products, and a deposit/I accountant key 2f which is used to perform a closing operation when the customer pays cash.

FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
1, the ECR 1 includes a keyboard 2, a display 3, a printer 4, a CPU 5 as a control means, a read-only memory (ROM) 6, and a random access memory (RAM) 7 as a storage means. 3 displays the product name, unit price data, total gold and steel data, etc. of the registered product.

The printer 4 prints the unit price data and total gold and steel data of the registered products. ROM6 stores programs necessary for ECRI to create itself. The RAM 7 stores the data shown in FIG. 4, which will be described briefly.

Ws4! 1 is an illustrative diagram showing 5-data stored in the RAM 7 shown in FIG. 3. In the figure, RAM7& is storage area 701 to 704, 710, 721 to 7.
A storage area 701 including 35 stores a flag FN indicating that the numeric keypad 24 has been operated. Storage area 702
is used as a numeric register that temporarily stores numeric data input from the numeric keypad 24. The storage area 703 is used as an amount register for storing unit price data of products. A storage area 704 is used as an itemizer that cumulatively stores total amount data for a certain customer. The storage area 710 is provided for preset registration, and includes storage areas 711 to 713 corresponding to each key of the product department key 23. Each storage area is a storage area for storing the status of each product. The storage areas 721 to 725, which include a storage area for storing the product name and a storage area for storing the price data of the product, are provided corresponding to customer groups A to E, respectively. be. Each of the storage areas 721 to 725 corresponds to each key of the product department key 23 and includes a storage area for storing price data and number data of the product corresponding to the key 6-.

FIG. 5 is a diagram 70 for explaining the specific operation of an embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the specific operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. First, the operator operates the mode changeover switch 21 to select a registration mode. Then, when a customer comes to the register to make a check, the customer type key 22 is operated according to the customer (2). That is, for example, if the customer is a female or gender group customer, the A key included in the customer group keys 22 is operated. Then, the unit price of the customer's wage increase product @'i'-y is inputted from the numeric keypad 24.

In step (abbreviated as SP in the drawing) 1, the CPU 5 constantly determines whether a key input signal is given from the keyboard 2 or not. If there is manual input on the keys, it is determined in step 2 whether the input is from the numeric keypad 24 or not. If the input is from the numeric keypad 24, the numeric data input in step 3 is stored in the numeric register 70 of the RAM 7.
2 and set the 7 lag FN in step 4.

When the operator operates one of the product department keys 23 corresponding to the product purchased by one customer, the CPU 5
In step 5, it is determined that the input is from the product department key 23.

Then, in step 6, it is determined whether or not any of the customer level keys 22 have been operated.If none of the 1 customer level keys 22 have been operated, the initial state is returned.If any of the 0 customer level keys 22 has been operated, For example, the process proceeds to step 7, where it is determined whether or not the 7-lag FN is set. This is to determine whether the mode is a normal registration mode in which unit price data is input from the numeric keypad 24 or a preset registration mode. That is, if the numeral 7 lag FN is set, the **gold rhyme data stored in the numeral register 702 is transferred to the amount register 703 in step 8. If the 7-lag FN is not set, preset registration is performed in step 9. That is, in the case of preset registration, only the product department key 23 is operated without the numeric keypad 24 being operated. Therefore, storage area 7 of RAM 7
10, the status, product name data, and unit price data of the product are read out from, for example, the storage area 711 corresponding to the operated key of the product department keys 23. Note that the status here is used to determine whether or not to print on the receipt at the time of registration, or whether or not it is necessary to calculate taxes. The unit price amount data read in step 9 is stored in the amount register 703. In other words, usually O! Even in Ki mode or preset registration mode, the amount register 7
Unit price data is stored in 03. The unit price data stored in the amount register 703 in this manner is cumulatively added to the fitemizer 704.

Then, the product name and unit price data of the product registered in step 11 are displayed on the display 113. Furthermore, step 12 smell? The product name and unit price -〇- amount data are printed on the receipt by the printer 4. Furthermore, in step 13, the unit price data of the purchased product is registered in the storage area 721 corresponding to the operated A key of the customer group key 22, and in step 14, the number of the purchased products is also registered. In step 15, the 7-lag FN is cleared and the process returns to the initial layer. By repeating this operation, the data related to the product purchased by the customer is RA
It will be registered sequentially in M7.

When you register all the data related to the customer's purchased products,
Operate the deposit/II total key 27. Then, the CPU 5 proceeds to step 16, and when it determines that the deposit/im total key 27 has been operated, the CPU 5 causes the display 113 to display the total amount data cumulatively stored in the fuitemizer 704 in step 17, and in step 18. printer 4
print the total amount. In step 19, the itemizer 704 is cleared and the series of operations ends.

As mentioned above, according to this actual example, the keyboard 2 is provided with a customer group key 22, and the customer l key 22 is used to specify a customer group, such as a female group customer or a family customer, and the system responds to that customer group. Since data regarding registered products is stored in the storage area of the RAM 7, purchased products for each customer group can be managed relatively easily. Note that ECRs placed in restaurants and the like need to manage data on purchased products for each customer, but in supermarkets and the like, it may be possible to manage purchased products by day or by time of day. . - Figure 6 is a flowchart for creating a report of data registered for each customer class, and Figure 7 is a diagram showing an example of the created report.

Next, the report creation operation will be explained.

This report creation is performed by switching the mode selector switch 21 to the inspection mode or the payment mode. Further, the subtotal key 26 is also used as a key for instructing report creation.

Therefore, when creating a report, the operator selects either the forest mode or the cassava mode using the mode changeover switch 21 and operates the incursion total key 26. When the CPU 5 receives a key input signal from the keyboard 2 in step 20, it determines in step 21 whether or not the subtotal key 26 has been operated. If it is not the subtotal key 26, another mail will be sent. If the subtotal key 26 is operated,
In step 22, all the registered data regarding customer A are read out from the storage area 721 of the RAM 7 and are printed by the printer 4. The printing results are shown in FIG. Similarly, in steps 23 to 26, data regarding customer groups B to E are read from storage areas 722 to 725 and printed. Therefore, by looking at this report, it is possible to know at a glance what kind of products each customer ■ has purchased.

According to this invention, as in the case of the station, the sales side such as customer demographic and time zone is specified, and data regarding products registered corresponding to the sales side is stored, so that the stored contents can be changed. If you know this, you can easily manage sales products by customer group and time zone.
