Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention includes a registration processing device that performs registration processing of product sales data, and a money processing device that performs monetary transactions with customers based on total data transmitted from the registration processing device. The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device.

A typical product sales data processing device is a single unit called an electronic cash register, in which one cashier inputs the products purchased by the customer by key operation, and finally performs the final key operation. The customer's total is then displayed, money is exchanged with the customer based on the total, and a receipt is handed over to the customer.
However, with a stand-alone electronic cash register, one cashier handles everything from registering product data to processing money, making it inefficient, resulting in a large number of customers waiting to register during busy periods, resulting in poor service to customers. There is.

For this reason, a so-called two-person product sales data processing system has been developed in which the product data registration section and the cash processing section are separated and dedicated cashiers are placed in each section to speed up processing. However, simply separating the registration section and the cash processing section means that, for example, when the number of registered products is small, the processing at the registration section will be faster than the processing at the cash processing section. There is a problem in that the registration section cannot register the next customer until the process is completed, making it impossible to achieve sufficient speedup.

In order to solve this problem, for example, the cash processing section is equipped with multiple memories that can store customer total data, and the product sales data registered in the registration section and the total data are printed out sequentially by the cash processing section when they are transmitted. and issue a receipt,
In addition, if the monetary transaction with the previous customer has not been completed, the newly transmitted total data is temporarily stored in memory, and after the monetary transaction with the previous customer is completed, the total data is recalled from memory and the next transaction is performed. It is conceivable to speed up the registration operation at the registration department by performing monetary transactions with the same number of customers.

However, in this case, due to the difference in the processing speed at the registration section and the processing speed at the cash processing section, there may be multiple customers who have only completed the registration process intervening between the registration processing device and the cash processing device. As a result, there is a risk that an accident may occur in which the order of customers is changed. If such an accident occurs, there is no way to respond to the total data called up in the money processing device and the customer, so in some cases, the money may be processed with another customer and the travel A problem occurs that leads to One possible way to solve this problem is to issue a receipt on the registration processing device side upon completion of the registration process, and place the receipt in the shopping basket so that you can respond to the customer. It is a receipt and should preferably be handed to the customer at the time of payment transaction. Furthermore, if the receipt is placed in the shopping basket, there is a problem in that the receipt may be destroyed. Therefore, it is desirable that the receipt be issued by the money processing device.

This invention was made in view of the above points, and it is possible to issue a receipt on the money processing device side, and even if the order of customers interposed between the registration processing device and the money processing device is changed, the receipt can be issued at the time of money processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that can reliably correspond to customers in the market.

Further, when the registration of one customer is closed on the keyboard 12, that is, the current total key 11a is operated, the total data of the customer added and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 28 is added to the display drive circuit 31.
is controlled and displayed on the display 19, and is also supplied to the printer drive circuit 32. Also, it first outputs a print command signal S ₁ and a total data set signal S ₂ to the printer drive circuit 32, then outputs a receipt cut signal S ₅ with a slight timing delay, and outputs a stamp signal S ₆ with a further delay. . As a result, the printer drive circuit 32 drives the printer 33 to print out the total data and issue a receipt for cutting the paper. Furthermore, a stamp such as the store name is printed on the next receipt to be issued.

The CPU 34 of the money processing device 2 controls each section based on the program data in the ROM 35, and in particular performs the following controls.

When product sales data is input from the registration processing section 1, the product sales data is transferred to the printer drive circuit 3.
9 and printed out by the printer 38. Further, when the total data is input, the total data is stored in the free areas of the first to fourth customer data memories M ₁ to _{M 4} of the RAM 36 . Data is stored in each of the customer data memories M ₁ to _{M 4} in the order of memories M ₁ , M ₂ , M ₃ , and M ₄ .
Further, the total data is supplied to the printer driving circuit 39 to be printed out by the printer 38, and also to perform a sheet cutting operation and issue a receipt.

Further, when the call key 15 is operated on the keyboard 18, the total data of the first customer data memory _M1 is displayed on the display 20 via the call display drive circuit 37. At this time, the first customer data memory _M1 is cleared, and the total data of the second to fourth customer data memories M2 to M4 are cleared to the first to fourth customer data memories _M2 to _M4 , respectively.
Advance to the third customer data memory _M1 to _M3 . In this state, when the number key 13 and the total/deposit key 17 on the keyboard 18 are operated to input the deposit amount from the customer, change is calculated for the deposit amount minus the total data and the change is driven on the display. The change data is displayed on the display 20 via the circuit 37, and the change machine 4 is controlled by the change data to automatically dispense predetermined change.

In the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, when the control switch 25 is set to "two-person registration" and a registration operation is performed, the registration processing device 1
A cashier is placed in each of the cash processing device 2 and the cash processing device 2. And the keyboard 12 of the registration processing device 1
When product sales data is input by operating , the product sales data is registered in the registration memory of the RAM 28, stored in a predetermined area, and added and stored. Further, this product sales data is printed out by the printer 38 of the money processing device 2. When the registration processing device 1 completes the registration operation for all the products purchased by the customer, the current total key 11a is operated. As a result, the registration processing device 1 transmits the total data to the money processing device 2, displays it on the display 19, drives the printer 33, prints out the total data and the serial number, and issues a numbered ticket. In this way, the customer receives the numbered ticket and prepares the payment amount.

On the other hand, the money processing device 2 stores the total data from the registration processing device 1 in empty areas of the customer data memories M ₁ to M ₄ . Further, the total data is printed out by the printer 33 and a receipt is issued. This receipt is temporarily stored by the cashier. Further, in the money processing device 2, by operating the call key 15, the first customer data memory _M1
The total data of the previous customer is called up and displayed on the display 20, and monetary transactions with that customer are performed. At this time, the customer's response can be taken by confirming that the total data of the numbered tickets held by the customer, the displayed total data, and the total data of the receipt match. It is a well-known technique to print a serial number on the receipt that is the same as the serial number, so if you print that number on the receipt as well, the number will match the serial number on the ticket. Even if it goes wrong, you can still correspond with the receipt.

In this way, the cash processing device 2 can issue a receipt and hand it to the customer when processing money with the customer. In addition, by comparing the total data displayed on the display 20, the total data of the receipt, and the total data of the numbered tickets held by the customer, correspondence between the three parties can be established. You can definitely get it. Therefore, even if registration processing device 1
Even if there are a number of customers whose registration has been completed but who have not completed their financial transactions, and those customers are replaced, there is no risk of erroneously performing financial transactions with another customer. Furthermore, since the total data is printed on the numbered ticket issued by the registration processing device 1, the customer can prepare the amount to be paid before performing the monetary transaction, and the monetary transaction can be carried out smoothly.

When the control switch 25 of the registration processing device 1 is set to "single person registration", the printer 33 of the registration processing device 1 also prints out product sales data. In this case, no data is transmitted to the money processing device 2.
That is, the registration processing device 1 comes to function as a normal single electronic cash register.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, a receipt can be issued by the cash processing device and handed over when processing money with a customer, and a numbered ticket with total data printed can be issued by the registration processing device. By doing so, it is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that has effects such as ensuring that the total data and correspondence with the customer are available when processing money using the money processing device, and that trouble-free and smooth money processing operations can be performed. .
