Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect dishonest work act easily when an operator embezzles the amount received from a customer by counting up the number of times of clearing the contents of a storage means to zero every total operation command and outputting the counted value in an electronic cash register. CONSTITUTION:An operator totalizer 42 in a storage means of the register is provided with respective areas for a transaction frequency counter corresponding to an operator code, a transaction totalizer and a frequency counter for transaction (ZBAL sales) clearing the transaction amount for one customer to zero. The ZBAL sales frequency counter adds ''+1'' every detection of the fact that the operator clears unit cost amount information to ''0'' by subtracting the unit cost amount information by depressing a correction key every transaction of the customer because of a dishonest purpose. When the contents of the totalizer 42 are printed out and a report is formed, the CPU operates the percentage of ZBAL generation on the basis of the number of times of transaction in each operator and the number of times of ZBAL sales, and high percentage of generation indicates the high probability of dishonest act.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Field of the Invention This invention relates to an electronic cash register (ECR).
In particular, information on the price of each item purchased by the customer,
This invention relates to an ECR in which a plurality of A-operators can be registered alternately.

Description of the Prior Art - A conventional ECR is provided with a memory that stores, for each operator, the total price of each product for which the operator is registered. The sales information for each operator stored in this memory is read out and managed at regular intervals.

On the other hand, when a customer requests to return a purchased item,
It is also possible to perform a correction operation so that the individual item price information for the item can be deducted from the accumulated amount in the memory. Therefore, in the conventional ECH, when making a transaction with a customer, the total amount is displayed in 6 hours after registering the individual price information of the product purchased by the customer, and after receiving the money from the customer, The operator performs a correction operation to cancel all transactions for a child customer. This type of fraud was particularly prevalent overseas.

Purpose of the Invention One of the purposes of this invention is to provide an ECR system that can prevent fraud by operators. It is to provide.

Structure and Effects of the Invention To summarize the invention, each time information related to a product is manually inputted from an input means, single item price information related to the product is stored cumulatively, and when a correction instruction is received, the information is stored. The configuration is such that the individual product price information is deleted from the accumulated price, and the number of times the contents of the storage means are changed to O is output every time there is a total calculation command. Therefore, if a fraud is committed, such as embezzling the amount received from a customer, the number of times that the contents of the storage means become 0 <Z increases, so it is easy to commit fraud. In order to create a flood of transactions, we have described the drawings (and oral tradition) along with an example and a more specific explanation of the invention.

In addition, if the previously registered operator is replaced, the operator will be replaced from F-23 to ooo as shown in Figure 6.
Enter o, part 1! When the A beretator key 255 is operated, the previously defined area 42n will be cleared and the next operator will be able to input his or her own oberetite key. 1 rear will be identified.

When a customer wants to register a prized product, he or she operates one of the departments t--22 corresponding to the prized product, as shown in FIG. - Then, the CPU 1 determines that there is a manual key, determines that it is not a correction key, and then determines that a department key has been operated. Indicates that the correction key has been operated.
. . . If not, the unit price information (1) corresponding to the department key operated f7' is read out from the area 414 and cumulatively stored in the 1 rear 412. Then, add the unit price information to the J-Rear pair corresponding to the 4-knee category, and set the number of times to 4-knees.

This operation is repeated, and all information related to the products purchased by the customer is registered. Thereafter, when the small 51 key 252 is operated, the total price of the customer stored in the -L rear 412 is displayed on the display means 5. will be displayed.

Now, assume that A-perpetrator performs the key operation shown in FIG. 8 in order to commit fraud. In other words, correction key ~ 25
3, the CPU 1 determines that the correction key 253 has been operated and sets a flag in the area 415. After that, when any of the department keys 22 is operated, it is determined that the flag FFC is not O, and the unit price information is subtracted from the totalizer for that department, and the contents of the corresponding multiplier are decreased by 1. . Then, the unit price amount information is subtracted from the total amount of one rear 412, and the display means 5 displays the fact that it is a correction, and the printing means 6 prints out the fact that it is a correction. And]-Rear 415 flag FF-:
Clear C. After repeating this operation and correcting the unit price information of the products purchased by the customer and setting it to 0, when the current/correction key 251 is operated, CPU 1 moves to area 41.
It is determined whether the counter 2 is O or not. Here, the value is 0 because the operator is performing a correction operation.

If the number counter in area 412 is 0, then 7 in area 412
Add +1 to the 1-A△1 Ze-rus counter, and add +1 to the ZB∆1 sales counter of the 1 rear 42n of the corresponding 4 Abe 1 note of rear 42. Then, the transaction counter in area 412 is +1(), and the transaction counter in area 742[) is also +-l.
Tjru. Then, the contents of the totalizer of J7412 are transferred to the transaction combiner of area 4211, and then the transaction is completed. Therefore, the number of times the operator has committed fraud is stored in the operator one-noter collector in area 4/2, as shown in FIG.

The content shown in FIG. 4 is printed by the printing means 6.

The incidence rate is shown and the results are also printed on one board.

Therefore, as is clear from Fig. 10, the ZBAL occurrence rate for the entire store is approximately 2.33% of the total number of transactions, while the 78AI- occurrence rate for the operator corresponding to A parator code 1010 is approximately 15%. It shows an extremely high value of .8%. In this way, if the occurrence rate of -Ul and I-d is concentrated in a specific operator, it can be determined that there is a high possibility of fraudulent activity.
