DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to point of sale management (Point of 5a).
The present invention relates to an electronic register in a system (hereinafter referred to as PO3), and in particular to a transaction data output device that can print transaction details on a slip in the case of credit transactions.

(Background of BL Technology) In recent years, with the spread of computer network systems, POS systems have come to be widely adopted in department stores, supermarkets, etc. Electronic cash registers are used as terminals for this system.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a POS system, a plurality of electronic registers 1a to 12 are normally connected to a control device (hereinafter referred to as T/C) 2.
and is further connected online to the computer center 3 via a line.

The electronic registers la to In are operated by an operator such as a store clerk, and sequentially display prices of products presented by customers on a display. Finally, the total amount is displayed by pressing a button, and a receipt is issued for each sales transaction by the printer, which is simultaneously recorded on journal paper. This transaction-specific data is stored in the storage sections of the electronic registers 1a to 1n together with classification data, cumulative data, and the like.

Further, sales information by product is sent one by one to the computer center 3, where comprehensive information management of product management such as sales aggregation, inventory management, and purchase management is performed.

On the other hand, with the spread of credit cards (hereinafter referred to as cards), transactions using cards instead of cash payments at department stores and supermarkets are increasing.

In the case of a credit/sell transaction or an installment transaction other than such a cash transaction, the authentication data of the card is read and sent to the computer center 3, and if the response signal indicates that the transaction is possible, the transaction is processed.

In this case, a slip is issued in addition to the receipt, and it is desired that the transaction details be printed on the slip as well.

(C) Prior art and problems The present invention is applied to FIG. 2. FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an electronic register, FIG. 3 is a middle control block diagram showing a conventional method, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of FIG. 3. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

FIG. 2 shows an electronic register 1a as an example of the electronic registers 1a to In, including a display 4, a printer section 5.
It is composed of a keyboard 6, a cash drawer 7, and a control section 8. That is, the printer section 5 and the control section 8 are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the cash drawer 7, and the keyboard 6 is arranged in front, and the display 4.
A card reading section 9 is arranged at the right end.

A receipt issuing port 5a and a slip insertion port 5b are provided at the center of the top surface of the printer section 5.

A slip 10 is inserted into the slip insertion slot 5b when printing and issuing a slip 10 shown in FIG. 4, which will be described later, in the case of a non-cash transaction 1, such as a card transaction.

In addition, in FIG. 3, the main control section 8 in the electronic register la
In addition to controlling each part, a is equipped with a calculation part and a storage part (not shown), the calculation part calculates transaction data input from the keyboard 6, and the storage part stores the transaction data, total amount, etc. as a hard total to be described later. It also has the function of storing data in the card at the time of card transaction, and sends the data read from the card to the computer center 3 to verify the account number.

It has a function of receiving a response signal as a result of the credit balance inquiry and executing the transaction if the transaction is possible.

The key control unit 11 has a function of recognizing transaction data input from the keyboard 6 and sending it to the main control unit 8a.

The card data control section 12 has a function of recognizing data read from a card and sending it to the main control section 8a.

The display control section 13 has a function of controlling the display of data sent from the main control section 8a on the display 4.

The editing control unit 14 has a function of editing the data to be printed, that is, the transaction type (1 date) such as cash withdrawal and card transaction, transaction number, and total amount of transaction statement 1 into a predetermined printing format.

The print control section 15 causes the printer section 5 to print out the data sent from the editing control section 14.

With such a configuration and function, when the operator inputs transaction data from the keyboard 6, the main control unit 8a commands the product number.

The product name, unit price, and operation instructions for the operator are displayed one by one on the display 4.

Finally, by operating the input end button 6a, necessary calculation processing is performed and the total amount, etc. is displayed.

As the input of transaction data progresses, the printer section 5 prints a receipt 10a and a journal 10 as shown in FIG.
After printing the total amount, etc., in sequence, the receipt 10a is issued from the receipt issuing port 5a.

Next, the cash drawer 7 opens and comes forward, allowing cash to be disbursed and disbursed.

In the case of card transactions, when the total amount, etc. is displayed on the display 4, the operator slides the card into the card reader 9, and once the data is read, it is sent to the computer center 3, where the account number is verified and the operator slides the card into the card reader 9. A credit balance inquiry is made.

Meanwhile, transaction data is printed on the receipt 10a and journal 10b.

Therefore, the operator needs slip 1 for card transactions.
0 into the slip slot 5b as shown.

If the response signal from the computer center 3 indicates that the transaction is possible, the type of transaction and the total amount are printed on a slip 10 and sent.

When the transaction is completed, the transaction end button 6b is pressed, and the data for each transaction is calculated along with the total value, classification total, sales total, etc., and is sent to the storage section of the main control section 8a and stored as a hard total. The contents of this hard total consist of various transaction data such as cash transactions and card transactions, totals by transaction type, and total sales amount, and are printed out, for example, at the time of settlement at the end of the day.

Further, data for each transaction is sent to the T/C 2, aggregated, and further sent to the computer center 3.

Transaction data can also be entered by reading and counting barcodes written on product packaging etc. using a barcode reading device, instead of having the operator operate the keyboard 6, but the electronic register 1a is capable of inputting transaction data using either method. Can also be used.

However, according to the conventional printing method, as shown in FIG. 4, there are two positions for printing on the receipt 10a and the journal 10b, and printing is performed by inserting the slip 10 shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure. For this reason, receipt 10a
Since it is not possible to print on the journal 1°b and the slip 10 at the same time, printing is performed one after the other.

However, since the transaction details data printed on the cash register 10a and the journal IOb disappear after being printed, the transaction details cannot be printed on the slip 10, and only the total amount is printed.

Therefore, there is a drawback that the customer cannot see the details of the transaction from the slip 10 and needs to look at the receipt 10a. Therefore, a method in which transaction details are printed on the slip 10 is desired.

fd) Object of the Invention The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a transaction data output device that can print transaction details on a slip in card transactions and the like.

(e) Structure of the Invention The present invention provides a designation input means for specifying a first transaction mode and a second transaction mode, a transaction data input means into which transaction data is input, and a transaction input by the transaction data input means. A data processing means for arithmetic processing of data, a designated input means and transaction data based on input by the manual means and processing data by the data processing means, a first printing means when in the first transaction mode, and a first printing means in the second transaction mode. The transaction data output device is provided with a storage means for temporarily storing the data printed on the first print medium at the time of the transaction data output device.

As mentioned above, the first transaction mode is a mode of normal cash transaction, and the second transaction mode is a mode of transaction other than normal cash transaction, such as card transaction.

That is, according to the present invention, a storage means for temporarily storing transaction data edited for printing out is provided, and at the time of a card transaction, the transaction data is stored in this storage means and is printed on the first print medium. After printing on a certain receipt, the transaction data stored in the storage means is outputted and printed on a slip, which is a second printing medium, thereby printing transaction data with the same content as the receipt, that is, transaction details. be able to.

(f) Embodiment of the Invention An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an embodiment according to the present invention, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart of FIG. 5. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

In FIG. 5, the editing control unit 16 has the editing function described in the conventional method, and sends editing data to the print control unit 18 for each item, and when the next item is input, the previous item is The edited data is sent to the print data storage section 17.

At this time, if the data to be sent to the print data storage section 17 includes a concatenation detail, a concatenation detail flag is added.

In other words, as shown in Figure 5, if there is a consolidated statement in which, for example, the amount multiplied by the single item price and the number of units sold is printed over two or more lines, the first line of data from the second line onwards will be A consolidated detail flag (1 in the figure) is added and stored.

In addition, in response to a slip printing command from the main control section 8a, print data is read out from the print data storage section 17, and the print control section 1
It has a function to send to 8.

The print data storage unit 17 is a storage unit that temporarily stores data edited by the editing control unit 16.

The print control unit 18 is the print control unit 15 described in the conventional method.
In addition, when invoice printing is commanded and the data temporarily stored in the print data storage section 17 is sent, if the data to which the consolidated details flag is added extends to the next page, It has a function of controlling the printer unit 5 to print a page break from the print data on the line before the consolidated details flag.

With such a configuration and function, the method of printing a physical transaction will be explained using the flowchart in FIG. is stored in the storage section of the main control section 8a.

During this time, each time a transaction data item is input, the transaction item is edited by the editing control section 16 and sent to the print control section 18, and the printer section 5 prints out the receipt 10a and the journal 1.
0b, and finally, when the input end button 6a is pressed, the total amount is printed.

On the other hand, the transaction details edited for each statement are sent from the editing control section 16 to the print data storage section 17 and temporarily stored when the next detail data is input. As described above, the consolidated details flag may be added at this time if necessary.

The operator inserts the card into the card reading section 9 and also into the slip insertion slot 5b.

The customer data is read from the card, the account number is verified and the credit balance is inquired with the computer center 3, and when a response signal indicates that the transaction is possible, the editing control section 16 executes the transaction temporarily stored in the print data storage section 17. The detailed data is read out and sent to the print control section 18, and is printed out on the slip 10 by the printer section 5.

At this time, if the consolidated details flag is added to the line to be page-broken, printing is performed by tracing back to the line to which the consolidated details flag is not attached and forming a page-feed including that line. Therefore, one detail having a linked detail is printed on the next page without spanning over two pages.

In addition, the detailed data that has been inputted can be corrected immediately afterward.

When making a so-called last-minute correction, press the last-minute correction button (not shown) on the keyboard 6, and then input the correction details data, but since it has already been printed on the receipt 10a and the journal 10b, cancel it with two lines and press the next button. The corrected detailed data will be printed.

However, since the editing control section 16 still retains the detailed data before being sent to the print data storage section 17, it is possible to erase it by moving the pointer back one position. If the data indicated by the returned pointer is connected to the erased data, one more pointer is returned. Therefore, by inputting the correction detail data, only correct data will be stored in the print data storage section 17.

Therefore, the details printed on the receipt 10a and the journal 10b are corrected with two lines, but the slip 10a can be printed without leaving any trace of the correction on the transaction details.

In this way, the transaction details can also be printed and issued on the slip 10.

Furthermore, in the above example, an example was explained in which both the receipt 10a and the slip 1o were issued, but the receipt 10a and the journal 10
When printing on the journal 10b, only the journal 10b is printed, omitting the issuance of the cashier 1-108, and the slip 10 is printed on the cashier 1-108.
Of course, it is also possible to use a method that also serves as 0a.

+g) Detailed Description of the Invention According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to print transaction details on a slip issued in the case of a credit transaction, etc.;

■Therefore, since the slip on which the transaction details are printed can also serve as a receipt, it is also possible to omit issuing the conventionally issued receipt.

There is an effect.
