Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a POS system that processes information at points of sale in department stores, supermarkets, gas stations, etc., and particularly to a POS system that processes information at points of sale in department stores, supermarkets, gas stations, etc. To provide a multipurpose processing device that can be used to monitor the status of a sales floor using a CRT display device.

In this POS system, for example, a sales information processing machine used at a gas station inputs information on the amount of oil supplied to customers and sales information on parts, performs arithmetic processing based on the input information, issues slips, and aggregates sales information. It also performs management for each customer. and,
It is equipped with a keyboard device for the input control, a customer card reading device (magnetic card reader), and a CRT display device and a printing device as output means. For this reason, gas station clerks wait while monitoring customers entering the store, and when a customer enters the store, they issue a slip based on the customer information from the reader and the amount of refueling information from the corresponding refueling machine. .

In particular, in recent years, due to the rationalization of gas stations, there have been an increase in self-service gas stations where one operator manages more than one gas station, and where customers can refuel as they wish using their customer cards.
In this case, the operator constantly monitors the outdoor refueling machine from the control room and issues the slip for each customer.
Therefore, the operator is forced to perform troublesome tasks such as monitoring the outdoor refueling machine and operating the processing machine from the control room.

The present invention utilizes a CRT display device equipped with the above-mentioned information processing device as a monitoring display for an outdoor refueling machine, thereby providing a processing island with better operability and workability.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to an embodiment of a diagram showing an information processing machine used at the gas station mentioned above.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a processor main body which is an arithmetic control unit (CPU), which receives weighing information from a refueling machine 2, information from a keyboard device 3 for input control, and a reading device (magnetic card reader) 4.
The discount information for each customer card is input.

5 is a CRT display which is an output device of the processing machine,
6 is a CRT video circuit.

A CRT controller 7 is supplied with digital data from the processor main body 1, and is connected to the CRT video circuit 6 via an analog switch 8.

For this reason, from the processor 1 to the reading device 4 and the keyboard device 2,
, performs arithmetic processing such as issuing a slip and totaling based on the input information from the refueling machine 2, and the display data is sent to the CRT controller 7, and from the CRT controller 7 via the analog switch 8 to the CRT video circuit 6. Horizontal, vertical signals and video signals are output and displayed on the CRT display 5. On the other hand, numeral 9 is a television camera installed to monitor the refueling machine side in order to confirm the presence or absence of visitors, and the signal from the camera 9 is supplied to a television camera signal separation circuit 10. This circuit 10 separates a signal from a television camera into horizontal and vertical synchronization signals and a video signal, which are supplied to a CRT video circuit 6 via an analog switch 11 and displayed on a CRT display 5. 12 is an analog switch 8 in response to the presence or absence of information input to the processor 1;
This is an image converting circuit for a CRT display that selectively switches between and 11.

That is, when there is input information in the processor 1, the analog switch 8 is turned on and the signal from the CRT controller 7 is supplied to the CRT video circuit 6, and the information based on calculation processing such as issuing slips and totaling is displayed on the display. 5. Project it on top.

If there is no input information in the processor 1, the analog switch 11 is turned ON to supply signals from the TV camera 9 and the TV camera signal separation circuit 10 to the CRT video circuit 6, and the CRT display 5 displays the oil supply. It functions as a monitoring device that displays the situation on the aircraft side. Therefore, the CRT display 5 of the processor 1
functions as a monitoring device that constantly monitors the presence or absence of guests.
Therefore, the operator can monitor the outdoor refueling machine side from the control room using the display 5, and when there is a customer, it can also be used as a display for the normal processing machine 1, allowing the processing machine to be used for multiple purposes. CRT display can be used, and it can also greatly contribute to labor saving.

In the above embodiment, a POS system for a gas station is shown, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be widely applied to other POS systems.
