Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an electronic cash register, and particularly to an electronic cash register that has a function of issuing multiple meal tickets, etc. when registering one transaction in systems such as cafeterias. It is.

Traditionally, in cafeterias, etc., when an order is received from each customer, the first
As shown in the figure, the electronic cash register 1 is operated to issue a receipt 2 according to the order details, and the desired number of meal tickets 4 are taken out from the meal ticket issuing machine 3 according to the number of notes and handed to each customer along with the receipt 2. .

However, in such a system, the operator has to operate the electronic cash register 1 and the ticket issuing machine 3, which is very cumbersome when a large number of customers visit the store.

Furthermore, this system required both an electronic cash register and a food ticket issuing machine, which placed a heavy financial burden on each store.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention provides a commonly used electronic cash register with a meal ticket issuing function, and the operation is only required by operating a conventional electronic cash register to issue receipts and meal tickets. It provides an electronic cash register that can issue both.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a block configuration of an electronic cash register embodying the present invention.

Assuming that the customer orders two cups of coffee, the operator operates the keys of the numerical information input means 5 in the figure to input quantity information "2" to the CPU 7 via the key encoder 6.

Next, the operator presses coffee key 9 of the function keys 8, and instructs the CPU 7 via the key discrimination means 10 that the numerical information previously input is the sales of coffee.

Upon receiving this instruction, the CPU 7 specifies a predetermined storage area in the memory 12 for storing coffee sales via the address counter 11, and stores the sales information in the predetermined storage area via the input/output control means 13. It is also stored in part A of the storage means 14 that stores print information.

On the other hand, at this time, this quantity information "2" is stored in the temporary storage means 16 via the ungate 15.

Subsequently, the operator presses the transaction termination instruction key 17 of the function key group 8 to terminate the transaction registration for the customer, and instructs the CPU 7 via the key discrimination means 10 to terminate the transaction.

Upon receiving this instruction, the CPU 7 calculates the previously stored total sales amount and stores the total amount in a predetermined storage area of the memory 12 via the input/output control means 13 as described above, as well as the print information. It is also stored in part B of the storage means 14.

On the other hand, when the key 17 instructing the end of the transaction is pressed, the AND gate 19 is activated via the OR gate 18, and the details of the transaction in section A of the printed information storage means 14 are displayed via the AND gate 19 and the OR gate 20. Printing section 21
The image is printed as shown in FIG. 3a.

When this printing is completed, the printing end signal f is inputted to the status determining means 22, and a printing control signal is outputted from the first output terminal.
is put into the operating state again, and the information in section A of the print information storage means 14 is again printed by the printing section 21 via the AND gate 19 and the OR gate 20 as shown in FIG. 3, as described above.

When one meal ticket 4 is issued in this way, the printing completion signal f is inputted to the status determining means 22 again, and this time, the second output terminal of the status determining means 22 indicates the end of issuing one meal ticket. The counting means 24 counts the number of food tickets issued.

The count contents of this counting means 24 are compared with the contents of the storage means 16 by a comparison means 25, and if the comparison contents do not match, a signal is sent from the first output terminal of the comparison means 25 via the or game 1-23.18. Then, the AND gate 19 is brought into operation, and the contents stored in section A of the storage means 14 are printed by the printing section 21 via the AND gate 19 and the OR gate 20 as shown in FIG. The state determining means 22 is operated, a printing instruction is output from the first output terminal of the state determining means 22, and the printing unit 21 is operated in the same manner as described above.
Then print as shown in Figure 3d.

When the issuance of the second meal ticket is completed in this way, the second meal ticket will be issued from the second output terminal of the status determining means 22. The amount is counted by the charger E 24 and compared with the contents of the storage means 16 by the comparing means 25.

If the contents of this comparison match, a high level signal //H" is output from the second output terminal of the comparison means 25, and the AND gate 26
is in an operable state, the contents stored in part B of the print information storage means 14 (the total amount of the transaction) are printed by the printing unit 21 via the AND gate 26 and the OR gate 20 as shown in FIG. 3e, and the transaction is recorded. Issue a receipt for.

On the other hand, this coincidence signal is inputted to the delay means 27, and after the previous receipt is issued, the delay means 27 generates a reset signal, clears the memory contents of the storage means 14 and 16, and sets the counting means 24 and the state determining means 22 to the initial state. Set to .

In this way, a desired number of meal tickets can be issued as well as receipts simply by registering a transaction on the electronic cash register.

The series of operations described above are controlled according to a microprogram stored in the ROM 28, and transaction information generated by the operations is displayed on the display section 29 at any time.

Furthermore, the meal ticket 4 issued by the electronic cash register according to the present invention shown in FIG. 3 can be practically used by cutting the portion shown by broken lines at perforations and cutting the portion shown by solid lines completely using a general-purpose technique.

As described above, the electronic cash register of the present invention includes an input means for inputting the transaction quantity of the transaction product, a storage means for storing the transaction quantity input by the input means,
A printing means for printing a receipt or a journal based on the transaction information of the above-mentioned trading product; a means for printing specific information on the product name and unit price corresponding to the above-mentioned trading product using the above-mentioned printing means; Printing control means for causing the printing operation of specific information such as product name and unit price to be repeatedly executed in response to the quantity information stored in the storage means, and for causing the transaction total amount of the above-mentioned traded products to be printed by the above-mentioned printing means. Since the system is configured to have two devices, each transaction can be registered using an electronic cash register as in the past, and food tickets, etc., can be issued using a food ticket issuing machine. This is very practical and useful since it is possible to register the transaction and issue food tickets by simply registering the transaction on the electronic cash register.
