Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a data processing method for executing predetermined arithmetic processing between a data cassette and a main unit to which the data cassette is detachably attached.

[Prior art]

In recent years, electronic registers have come to be equipped with removable data cassettes. In this case 1. Due to its installation, there is no "expansion" between the data cassette and the register body.
, "Total-1", "Transfer", etc. are executed. In other words, "expansion" is a method of using the memory in the data cassette to increase the memory capacity of the register body, and "aggregation" is a method of dividing the sales data stored in the memory of the register body into data types. The "transfer" method of accumulating data to a separate storage register is a method of transferring sales data in the register body to data cassettes by type.

[Problems with conventional technology]

However, in this type of device, as the types of data increase, the number of data cassettes inevitably increases, making management of the data cassettes complicated.

That is, as the number of data cassettes increases, it becomes difficult to grasp which data cassette stores what type of data. As a result, there was a risk that data of the wrong type would be transferred to the data set.

In addition, the totals from the register itself to the data cassette are automatically totaled in the data cassette by performing detailed settlement, FLU (product registration)-by-time period, and period-by-period settlement. Each time a payment is made, a different predetermined key operation is required for each payment, which places a burden on the operator.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made against the background of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to create a data drawer without knowing what type of data is in the data drawer. When the data cassette is installed, processing is automatically executed according to the content, eliminating the need to manage data cassettes, ensuring reliable processing, and reducing the burden on the operator due to key operations. The goal is to provide a method.

[Key points of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention stores preset control data in the memory of a data cassette, reads out the control data when the data cassette is attached to the main body, and reads out the control data. The gist of the present invention is that a predetermined arithmetic processing is executed with the memory according to the above.

Additionally, the σPU 12 outputs print data to the printing unit 16 to print amount data on receipt paper and journal paper.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. First, when using the data cassette 6, insert the data cassette 6 into the slot 2 before turning on the power to the register main body 1.
Insert. In this state, data cassette key D
When O is operated, the operation according to 74- in FIG. 4 is executed. That is, in step S1, it is determined whether there is an attachment signal, and if there is no attachment signal, the process moves to step S2, an error is displayed, and then the input process of the data cassette key DO is invalidated. If it is determined that there is a mounting signal, the process proceeds to the next step S3, where the check data is first read out from the data cassette memory 62, and the A
Transferred to register.

Then, in the next step S5, according to the contents of this person register, it is checked whether the person in charge, date, time, store Nλt1 machine Nλ- in the data cassette match each data in the main body, A determination is made as to whether or not there is an error in any one of them, and if there is an error, the process moves to step S2. Then, if there is no error, proceed to the next step 35. The operation of reading data from the data cassette memory 62 is subsequently performed in S6. That is, in step S5, the control data and in Stella '7' S6, the type data are read out, and the control data is transferred to the B register and the type data to the C register. According to the control data read out in this way, the next steps S7 to S1o are performed so that the content of the control data is "
"Tally", (Step S7), "Settings" (Step S8)
, r transfer" (step 5q), z "extension" (step 510). In this case, the judgment is made as to which bit of the 4-bit control data is set to "1°. The process is executed by determining whether or not the bit is marked with "l", and the process moves to the process corresponding to the bit where "l" is marked.Thus, as a result of sequentially executing steps S7 to S310, even if "addition" If not, the process moves to step S2.

Further, if it is determined in step S7 that "ygsJ", the aggregation processing in steps S11 to S15 is sequentially executed.

That is, in step S'11, the display unit 15 on the register main body 1 side lights up and displays "Tallying J". Then, in step S12, a process of accumulating sales data by type from the register main body 1 to the data cassette 6 is executed. 1, that is, the contents of the total memory 14 and the contents of the detailed data in the data cassette memory 62 are added to the S type, the resulting data is transferred to the address area corresponding to the type in the data cassette memory 620, and the detailed data is added to the S type. Then, in the next step S13, the contents of the memory storing the type data cumulatively processed as described in L are erased from among the various types of memories in the total memory 14.
Execute the settlement process for the memory.

When this payment process is completed, the total display will turn off (Scanograph 5
14) and print the collection 81' complete r mark (step 51).
5) Let.

Furthermore, if it is determined in step S8 to be "Y-S", the setting process in steps S16 to S19 is executed. In other words, in step 51 (S is "setting"
After the light is displayed, move forward to step S17 on the left. Here, processing is executed to set the detailed data of the data cassette memory 62 in the register body 10 total memory 14 as the type. When this setting process is completed, the setting display is turned off (step 518), and a setting completion mark is printed (step 519). After the settings are completed, the data in the data cartridge is no longer needed, so after erasing the data, the data cassette may be used as is for tabulation or expansion. In this case, the control data of the data input section -1- is rewritten to the defined data.

In addition, if it is determined in step S9 that "y E SJ", the transfer processing from step $2[1 to step 32.5 is executed. After the display is displayed, the program proceeds to step S21.Here, processing is executed to transfer the data stored in the register body 10 total memory 14 to the -F-Taka7 memory 62 by type.This transfer When the process is completed, the transfer display is turned off (step 522), and a transfer completion mark is printed (step 523).

If it is determined in the above step S10 that ``Y or SJ'' is determined, the expansion process in step S24+825 is executed.In other words, in step S24, ``j'' is displayed with lighting, and then the process proceeds to step S25. Here, the expansion mode is set, and a predetermined memory out of the total memory 14 is specified according to the contents of the m register.In this case, the m register has a value for indicating the memory to be expanded. 7 lag data is stored, and in the registration mode in this state, the memory specified by the contents of the m register will be expanded.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when the data cassette key = DC is operated, the process shown in the flowchart in FIG. The present invention is not limited to the examples, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, the present invention stores control data set in advance in the memory of a data cassette, reads out the control data when the data cassette is attached to the main unit, and reads out the control data according to the control data. Since the predetermined arithmetic processing is executed with the memory,
Even if one does not know what type of data C is in the data cassette memory, if one data cassette is not installed properly, the corresponding process is automatically executed. Therefore, there is no need to manage the Tsuta data cassette, and the inconvenience of transferring the wrong type of data can be eliminated.In addition, since G is automatically processed, the burden on the operator due to key operations is reduced.
