Description

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 a transaction data processing method of an electronic register in a system (hereinafter referred to as PO8), and particularly relates to a transaction data processing method that can prohibit aggregation and printing when product prices are displayed in advance.

(b) Background of the Technology In recent years, POS systems have come to be widely adopted in department stores, supermarkets, etc. with the spread of Combi 1-Tane Sotowork systems. An electronic register is installed as a terminal in this system at the payment counter, where the operator registers the transaction goods and issues a receipt, and a bar is operated by the operator and registers the goods by reading the barcode label affixed to the goods. A code reading device (hereinafter referred to as a scanner) is used.

(C) Conventional technology and problems These terminals use the product number when registering items.

A barcode that includes the product name, product price, etc.

Alternatively, when registering from the operation keys, the product code is used for registration.

Recently, in such POS systems, the product code is JAN (Japan Article
PLU (Price Look-Up) codes have become popular, and transactions are made by converting the price of products with no price display using a table in an electronic register, or by querying a control device that controls a terminal device.
) method has become popular.

When a request to inquire about the price of a product is received using this method, there is usually a method of checking the price list held by the operator or registering the product code as one of the items in the transaction and outputting it on a receipt or the like.

However, this method has disadvantages in that it requires an additional operation to view the price list during operation, which delays the registration speed, and that it is printed on the receipt and journal during the transaction, so it must be canceled later.

(d) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a transaction data processing method that allows inquiries to be made without significantly affecting registration operations and without unnecessary post-processing. There is something to do.

(e) Structure of the Invention The present invention includes an instruction means for instructing prohibition of calculation and printout of the converted data displayed on the display unit, and switching between necessity of calculation and printout of the conversion data instructed by the instruction means. A switching means is provided to prohibit tabulation and printing when displaying the timing.

That is, according to the present invention, there is no need to erase receipts, etc., so that they do not become difficult to see and do not cause any inconvenience to customers.

(f) Embodiments of the invention Examples of the invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

As shown in FIG. 1, the scanner 1 is provided with a reading window 1a on the top surface, and is equipped with an optical unit and a control section inside (not shown), and a laser beam emitted from the optical unit is directed above the reading window 1a. A bar code written on a product passing through a predetermined space in the direction of arrow A in the figure is scanned, and the reflected light beam is read, converted by a control section, and sent to the electronic register 2 as read data.

As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic register 2 has a display 3
．． Printer section 4. Keyboard 6 and cash drawer 7
It consists of That is, the printer section 4 and the control section 8 are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the cash drawer 7, the keyboard 4 is arranged in front, and the display 3 is arranged in contact with the rear of the keyboard 6.

A receipt issuing port 5a and a slip insertion slot 5b are provided at the center of the upper surface of the blinking section 4, and a slip is inserted into the slip insertion slot 5b when printing and issuing a slip in the case of a credit transaction or the like.

In addition, in FIG. 3, the main control section 8 controls each section and includes a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 9.
It has a function of calculating transaction data input from the keyboard 6 in the CPU 9 and sending the transaction data, total amount, etc. to the hardware total control section 12 as a hardware total to be described later. Furthermore, the main control section 8 includes a discriminating section 20, which has a function of discriminating the signal generated by the operation of the inquiry instruction button 19a of the keyboard 19 and issuing a switching command to the switching section 21.

The data storage section 11 stores the hardware total sent from the main control section 8a. Hard totals consist of various transaction data such as cash transactions and credit transactions, aggregation by transaction type, and total sales. The hard total is printed out and cleared, for example, at the time of settlement at the end of the day.

The hardware total control unit 12 has a function of controlling storage and reading of hardware totals in the data storage unit 11 .

The price storage unit 13 stores price data (PLO data) of products whose prices are queried based on JAN codes.

The pr, t[111 section 14 has a function of controlling storage and reading of PLU data into the price record ta section 12.

The keyboard 6 has general transaction buttons 6a to 6c, which will be described later, as well as an inquiry instruction button 19, which is an instruction means for instructing prohibition of calculation and printout of the PLU data to be queried.

The key control section 15 has a function of recognizing the transaction mode, transaction data, etc. inputted from the keyboard 6 and sending them to the main control section 8 .

The display control section 16 has a function of controlling the display of data sent from the main control section 8 on the display 3.

The read data control section 17 has a function of recognizing read data input from the scanner 2 and sending it to the main control section 8 .

The printer control section 18 causes the printer section 4 to print out transaction data and the like sent from the main control section 8.

The switching unit 21 is a switching unit that disconnects the printer control unit 18 and then disconnects the CPU 9 based on a command from the determination unit 20.

With such a configuration and function, when an operator reads the barcode of a product using the scanner 2 and inputs the read data, the main control unit 8 will command the product price to be directly input. Also JA
If the price is queried by the N code, conversion data corresponding to the read data from the price storage unit 13,
That is, the PLU data is read out and the product number and product name are displayed.

The unit price and operation instructions for the operator are sequentially displayed on the display 3. Finally, by operating the input end button 6a,
The CPU 9 performs necessary calculation processing and displays the total amount, etc.

As the input of transaction data progresses, the printer unit 4 sequentially prints on the receipt 10 and the journal as shown in FIG.
0 is issued from the receipt issuing port 5a. Next, the cash drawer 7 opens and comes forward, allowing cash to be disbursed and disbursed.

When the transaction is completed, the transaction end button 6b is pressed, and the detailed data for each transaction, together with the total value, are classified and totaled by the CPU 9, and the sales cumulative total is calculated and stored in the data storage section 11 as a hard total.

Next, we will explain how to inquire about prices by interrupting a transaction.

First, as described above, transaction data is input and displayed on the display 3 and printed on the receipt 10 and journal. When a price inquiry request comes, the operator presses the inquiry instruction button 19. Then, the determination unit 20 determines this and activates the switching unit 21, and the printer control unit 18
and disconnect the CPU 9.

Then, the bar code of the product whose price is to be inquired is read by the scanner 2 and PLU is performed. The price is displayed on the display 3 and informed to the customer.

Next, when input during the transaction is started, the switching section 21 automatically returns to the normal state, and the operations of the printer control section 18 and the CPU 9 become effective.

Therefore, the next transaction can be printed and tabulated without being affected by the price inquiry.

In this way, price inquiries can be processed in a mode that prohibits printing and arithmetic processing, eliminating the need to erase receipts, etc. This can prevent the amount from being added to the amount.

In the above example, a case has been described in which a bar code is read and input using the scanner 2, but the method can be similarly applied to a case where a product price or a product code is inputted using the keyboard 6.

(g) As described in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to prohibit printing and arithmetic functions in the case of price inquiries, so ■ printing is not done on transaction details such as receipts, and cancellation processing is not possible. There is no need for Therefore, receipts etc. will not become difficult to see. [ ■You can prevent it from being added to the total amount by mistake,
No more inconvenience to customers.

There is an effect.
