Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automatic transaction selection processing method. This invention relates to an automatic selection processing method 2 that simplifies the operation of setting transaction modes for purchasing or trading products using various types of membership cards or credit cards.

When purchasing products at large retail stores such as department stores,
In addition to cash transactions, you can also use your own membership cards and credit cards issued by other companies.

Also, at large retail stores, point-off sales (POS) are available.
Using a terminal device, we monitor the sales status of products and transaction information (cash sales, own company credit cards, other companies' credit cards, etc.) on the T Center's host computer. For this reason, KPOB terminals are equipped with a mode key to set modes such as cash sales, own credit card, other company's credit cards, cash on delivery sales, and pre-order sales, and further input mode types such as shareholder benefits and fun sales using codes. However, data corresponding to these data is calculated.

However, in order to identify data from these card or cash sales, the operator must
8. Operate the balance device board, as shown in Figure 1, enter the transaction mode using the Mars mode meter, then enter the mode type manually using the code, and when using a credit card. The account number had to be entered by one person, and the operation was extremely complicated.

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention records in advance the card medium neutralization transaction type to be read for the company's credit card, and stores the account number V* for the card.
Since the transaction type is identified along with the loss), operations are significantly simplified and republican.

This also prevents the mode type from being entered incorrectly5.
The purpose is to provide an automatic selection processing method for WC transactions. And for this reason, in the automatic transaction selection processing method in the original qK, the keyboard and car) 11? ! Take:・9
a data input means having a means for inputting data; a transaction mode setting means for performing control according to the type of transaction mode; a means for identifying a 70-loss withdrawal mode from the card read data; The present invention is characterized in that it is equipped with a memory means for storing data, and automatically performs control according to the type of transaction mode in response to data read from the company's card when the transaction mode is in a specific state.

Before describing the present invention in detail based on one embodiment, its outline will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the present invention, the transaction mode is set to the most frequently used cash transaction mode, and at this time, the magnetically recorded data on the company's credit card (family, shareholder benefits, affiliated company services, etc.) K is automatically readable (. Therefore, unless the mode key is operated from the keyboard KB in FIG. 2 to input the transaction mode,
The main control section C outputs a medium designation signal to the input activation control section I to enable input from a magnetic recording card, and notifies the transaction mode setting lf1MK of the cash transaction mode.

, When a purchase is made using the shareholder benefit card in this state,
The operator inserts the shareholder benefit card into the PO8 terminal and causes the magnetic card reader to read the account number recorded on the magnetic stripe. As a result, the input activation control section (2) identifies that the transaction is a shareholder benefit transaction based on the read account number, and transmits this to the main control section CK via the transaction mode setting section Mv. Next, when the operator inputs the sales amount from the keyboard KB, this data is transmitted to the main control unit CK via the input activation control unit I and the transaction code setting unit M't-, and the data is transmitted to the main control unit CK, such as discounts for shareholder benefits, etc. A 10% discount calculation is performed, and the calculation result is recorded in the area of the main memory S for the shareholder benefit transaction type. However, in the case of other companies' credit cards, the recording format of the credit card is different from that of the company's credit card and in many cases cannot be read, so for such transaction modes, the keyboard K is used as usual.
The operator will input from B.

Next, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described based on FIG.
