(57) [Summary] This bulletin contains application data before electronic filing, so abstract data is not recorded.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR).
Regarding ECR, in particular, the product code and Hansai price data are set as a barcode on the product, and data related to the product is registered by reading the barcode.
Regarding.

In conventional ECR technology, in order to speed up processing by eliminating operator key operations, a department code (product code) is set on a product in advance as a barcode, and the barcode is read with a scanner. It is known that data related to products of ° are registered.

In such an ECR, unit price data is stored in advance in a memory called a PLtJ file, corresponding to the department code included in the barcode, and each time the barcode is read, the unit price data is stored in advance in a memory called a PLtJ file. The PLU file is searched based on the code, and the corresponding unit price data is read and registered.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Incidentally, in supermarkets and the like, prices for fresh foods and the like may vary depending on the time of day. If you want to change the Hanaui price depending on the time of day like this,
In the above-mentioned ECR, not only normal Hanutai price data but also changed Hanutai price data must be stored in the PLU file. For this reason, there is a problem in that a large capacity memory is required as a PLU file.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ECR that can easily register different Hanutai price data depending on the time zone without using a large capacity memory.

Means for Solving the Problems In this invention, the Hanutai price data representing the Hanutai price of the product and the time zone number indicating that the Hanutai price data is changed by time zone are set on the product using a bar code. I'll keep it. Then, the ECR has a barcode reading means for reading the barcode, a timekeeping means for measuring the current time, and a time-slot-based data storage unit that stores in advance Hanutai price data for sales in that time period for each time-slot data. The data storage means and, if the current time is within the time zone based on the time zone data, register the Hanutai price data stored in the corresponding storage area of the time zone data storage means, and set the current time to that '2.・If it is outside the time zone, it consists of a registration means for registering the selling price data read from the barcode.

Effect: In this invention, when a barcode set on a product is read by the barcode reading means, time period data corresponding to the time period number included in the read barcode is read from the time period data storage means. If the current time is included in the time zone based on the time zone data,
Hanutai price data corresponding to the time zone data is read out from the time zone specific data storage means and registered, and if it is not included, Hanutai price data read from the barcode is registered. Therefore, in the present invention, there is no need to provide a PLU file and store changed Hanutai price data for each department as in the past, and there is no need to use a large capacity memory.

The area 9a is used as a numeric buffer for temporarily storing numeric data input from the numeric keypad 43 shown in FIG. Area 9b stores a key manual flag indicating that the x key 431 has been operated. Area 9C stores the registration destination department number included in the barcode, and
Similarly, area 9e stores the time zone table number included in the barcode, and area 9e stores unit price data included in the barcode. The area 9t stores input number data input from the numeric keypad 43.

Areas 11, 12, . . . 1n constitute time zone data storage means, and store time zone tables 1, 2, . . . n, respectively. This time zone table 11 is, for example, the 5th C.
Store data as shown in the figure. 'i.

That is, the time zone table 11 includes an area 111 for storing table numbers, an area 112 for storing days of the week,
Area 113 for storing start time data of set time
and area 1 that stores stop time data for the set time.
14, an area 115 for storing Hanutai price data for that time period, and a multiplier 116. The other time zone tables 12...1n are configured in the same manner.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart for explaining the specific operation of an embodiment of the present invention.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5C, specific operations of an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Before explaining the operation, I will briefly explain barcodes. The barcode contains UPCTYPEI and EANl 3
There are two types called. UPCTYPEI is 2XI X2 X3 X a X s C/PPI P
2 P3P,C and EANl3 is represented by 21X, X2 X-X-C/PPIP2 P3 P2O. In one embodiment of the present invention, UP
CTYPEf and EANl3's X, X2 represent the department code, UPCTYPEI's X, X, X, and EA
The X and X of Nl3 represent the time zone number, and UPCTY
P through P4 of PEIi and EANl3 represent unit price data. Note that C/P is a check digit for unit price data, and C is a check digit for all data.

A barcode of either UPCTYPEI or EAN13 described above is set for each product.

The operator causes the scanner 2 to read the barcode of the product purchased by the customer. The barcode read by the scanner 2 is given to the CPU 7. CPU7 is scanner 2
When a barcode is input from the barcode, a registered department number from the barcode is set in area 9C of RAM 9, a time zone table number is set in area 9d, and unit price data is set in area 9e. Then, it is determined whether or not the time slot table number set in area 9d is O. If the time zone table number is 0, the unit price data set in the area 9e is displayed on the display 5.

However, if the set time zone table number is not O, that is, if it indicates one of the time zone tables 11 to 1n, then for example, the set time of the corresponding time zone table 11 and the current time are compared. do. In other words, for example, if it shows time zone table number 1,
Day of the week data is read from area 112, start time is read from area 113, and stop time is read from area 114. Then, it is determined whether the current time measured by the timer 71 is included in the set time from the start time to the stop time. If it is not included, the unit price data set in area 9e is displayed on display 5.

If the current time is within the time slot set in the time slot table 11, the unit price data stored in the area 115 of the time slot table 11 is read out and displayed in area 9e. As a result, 111 read from the barcode previously stored in area 9e.
The price data will be changed to the unit price data stored in advance in the time zone table 11. The CPU 7 causes the display 5 to display the changed unit price data set in the area 9e.

Furthermore, the CPU 7 selects the departmental data storage area 91°92...9n from the registered department number set in the area 9c.
Search for one of them. Then, list the name of the department from the corresponding departmental area, and add the name and area 9e.
Print the unit price data set on the receipt.

If a customer purchases multiple items of the same product,
The operator inputs the number using the numeric keypad 43 and operates the X key 431 to indicate that the number is the number. When the CPU 7 receives the number data from the numeric keypad 43, it sets the number data in the number buffer 9a, and when the X key 431 is operated, it sets the key person cuff flag 1 in the area 9b. The CPU 7 determines whether or not the key human power flag is set. If it is set, the CPU 7 multiplies the input quantity set in the number buffer 9a by the unit price set in the area 9e, and calculates the value for the corresponding department. It is added to the totalizer 911 in a separate data area, and the input number is set in the area 9t.

However, if the customer has purchased only one item, the operator does not input the quantity data. In this case, since the key human power flag is not set in area 9b, unit price data in area 9e is added to totalizer 911 in departmental data area 91. Then, set @1 in area 9f.

The CPU 7 determines whether the unit price data set in the area 9e is the changed unit price data. If the unit price data is the changed unit price data, the input number set in area 9r is added to the counter in the corresponding area of the time zone table. However, if the unit price data before the change is set in the area 9e, the input number in the area 9f is added to the counter 912 of the departmental data area 91 corresponding to the registered department number, and the series of operations is completed.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the Hanutai price data representing the Hanutai price of the product and the time zone number representing the change in the Hanutai price by predetermined time zone are displayed on the product using a bar code. When the barcode is read by the barcode reading means, the time period data stored in the time period data storage means is read out, and if the current time is within that time period, We have registered the Hanuri price data that corresponds to the data by time zone, and if it is not included, we have registered the Hanuri price data included in the barcode, so if you want to change the Hanuri price by time zone, you can Even so,
There is no need to store the Hanutai price data before and after the change in the memory.

Therefore, there is no need to use a large capacity memory. Moreover, even in the case of registration based on the PLUII function, there is no need to previously store Hanutai price data in the PLU file, and the memory capacity can be significantly reduced.
