Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cash register suitable for stores that rarely issue receipts.

Conventional cash registers have a keyboard 1 as shown in Figure 1.
2 is provided with a print selection switch 12', and when a receipt is not required, the printer 16 is directly or indirectly switched over to stop issuing a receipt by the printer 16.

In some small and medium-sized stores in particular, there are customers who do not receive receipts or they often stop issuing receipts to save money on receipts, but sometimes there are customers who request receipts, and these customers often do not receive receipts after the registration process is completed. Request cash payment at the time of payment.

However, the print register 15 for the printer 16 either contains the final date or does not contain it at all.
It is virtually impossible to print out the total, let alone the individual registration progress.

The present invention has been devised in consideration of these points, and will be described in detail below based on examples.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the cash register according to the embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a registration register (first memory circuit) for performing registration, and the number of registers 1 is a registration register (first memory circuit) for registering the amount of money for each department or each customer. Memory or registers can be used.

2 is a keyboard with a number key, clear key, departmental registration key, total key, etc., as well as a receipt print selection switch 2'
have.

Additionally, a key encoder may be provided if necessary.

3 is a key register that temporarily stores the numerical value taken in from the keyboard 2, and 4 is a logic operation circuit (Arithme).
tic Logic Unit (hereinafter abbreviated as ALU).

). Reference numeral 5 denotes a print register (second storage circuit), which is composed of multiple stages of registers.

6 is a printing device that issues receipts and the like.

7 is a display register and 8 is a display device.

A control circuit 9 receives information from the keyboard and printing device and controls each register, printing device, and gates 61 to G7.

Of the gates, G2. G3. G6. G7 is a multi-gate, and it is possible to select a plurality of registers constituting the registration register 1 and print register 5.

The operation of the cash register having the above configuration will be explained.

First, set the selection switch 2' to the print side (this selection switch 2'
A case will be explained in which the switch is a three-state switch and is set to print, stop (all states can be maintained), and issue (immediate return type).

Numbers etc. entered from the keyboard are introduced into the key register 3 through gate G1, and at the same time are sent through gate G5 to the display register 7 and displayed on the display 8.
It passes through G6 and is sent to the first register of print registers 5.

When a department key (not shown) on the keyboard 2 is operated, the contents of the key register 3 are stored in the register of a predetermined department of the registration register 1 and the customer register through the ALU 4 and the gate G2.

At the same time, the control circuit 9 outputs the department number (game)G5. Through G6, the display register 7 and the first register of the print register 5 are replenished, and then the contents of the first register of the print register 5 are continued and printed by the printing device 6.

The subsequently inputted numerical value is stored in the key register 3 by discarding the previously entered numerical value, and is led from the key register 3 to the ALU 4 by operating the department key.

At this time, the contents of the register of the predetermined department of registration register 1 are G3. It is led to ALU 4 through G4, summed with the contents sent from key register 3, and the calculation result is sent to a predetermined register of registration register 1 again.

Also, the contents of the customer register are game) G3. It is called through G4, sums it with the contents sent from key register 3, and leads the calculation result to the customer register of registration register 1.

In these operations, printing is performed using only the first register of the print register 5, as in the previous case.

After some numbers (amounts) have been registered, when the total key (not shown) is operated, the contents of the customer register in registration register 1 are called up, and game) G3. G4. The signal is sent to the display register 7 through G5, and then to the first register of the print register 5 through G6.

Then, the total amount registered by the customer is displayed on the display 8, and the total amount registered, a unique message, a store name, etc.) are printed on the printing device 6.

The customer register of registration register 1 is then reset.

Next, the case where the selection switch 2' is set to the stop side will be explained.

The operations of the key register 3 registration register 1 and display register 7 are as described above.

That is, when a number is input, it is temporarily stored in the key register 3,
When the department key is operated, the information is stored cumulatively in the departmental register and customer register of registration register 1, while on the display 8, the entered number is displayed each time a number is input, and when the department key is operated, the number is input as the department number. A number is displayed.

On the other hand, the print register 5 operates as follows.

First, press any key on keyboard 2 to play) G6. G
7 selects the first print register 5.

If this key press is a number, it will of course be stored in key register 3, but at the same time G5. It is also led to the first register of print registers 5 via G6.

Then, by operating the department key, game) G5. A department number is introduced from the control circuit 9 via G6, and subsequently replaced within the print register.

That is, the contents of the first register (registered numerical values and department number) are G7. It is moved to the second register via G6.

Next, when a number is entered, the game returns) Gl key register 3 gate G5. It is sent to the first register of print registers 5 via G6.

When the department key is operated, the registered numerical value and department are stored in the first register, and then the gate G
7. Using G6, the contents of the second register are moved to the third register, and the contents of the first register are moved to the second register.

When registration is performed n times in this manner and the total key is operated at the end, the contents of the customer register in registration register 1 are changed to gate G3. G4. G5. It passes through G6 and is stored in the first register of the print register 5.

The contents of the register are then transferred globally.

If a numerical value is input again here, it will be in a reset state, but if the selection switch 2' is turned to the print side before these operations, the selection switch 2 will immediately return to the stop side, but the print will not be printed as follows. Ru.

Since the first registered reverse value sent and its department are in the n+2th register of print register 5, this content is game) G7. Sent to the first register via G6,
The information is directly transmitted to the printing device 6 and printed.

Subsequently, the (n+1)th register is printed via the first register, and finally, the total amount registered in the second register is printed.

Then, a unique message is additionally printed and the operation ends.

In addition, in the above explanation, resetting may mean setting all the contents in the register to 0, or in cases where sending new contents to the register will erase the previous contents, simply opening the return path and removing the protection of the contents. It's fine just by itself.

In addition, in the above example, the contents of the register in the print register 5 were transferred in a bushdown manner when not printing.
This includes, but is not limited to, games) G6. The method of sequentially shifting the register selection of G7 and sending it from the printing register 5 to the printing device 6 may be a register selection type.

As described above, the present invention includes a keyboard including at least a registration key and a total key, a first memory circuit (registration register in the embodiment) that performs registration aggregation for each department, etc., and a number etc. for each process of registration work. a second memory circuit (in the embodiment, a print register) that stores , and is reset by a key pressed after the total key, a printing device that is connected to the second memory circuit and issues a receipt; a selection means for selecting a mode in which the contents of the memory circuit are printed by a printer for each registered business and a receipt is issued; and a stop mode in which the contents are only stored in the second memory circuit and no receipt is issued; This is because the cash register is equipped with a control means that controls the printing device to print the contents of the second memory circuit sequentially and issue a receipt when the cash register is issued after the total is completed in the stop mode. Even if the issuing of receipts has been suspended depending on the store or type of customer, receipts can be issued at any time if requested by the customer.
