Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a cash register, and in particular, when a plurality of products are divided into a plurality of groups and cash registration is performed for each group, the total amount of the plurality of products is The present invention also relates to a cash register capable of outputting an individual subtotal amount indicating the sum of amounts for each group.

Conventional Technology Conventionally, when registering the sales of multiple products at a cash register, an operator operates a key provided on the cash register to check the subtotal amount from the start of registration to the middle of registration, and the registration completion violation. It was easy to find the total amount. However, when multiple products are divided into multiple groups and registration is performed for each group, it is not possible to output an individual subtotal amount that indicates the sum of the amounts for each group.

Problem to be solved by the invention For this reason, for example, when a group of people who have had lunch at a restaurant wish to make individual payments at the checkout counter, the store's cashier must register all the items in the cash register. Then, the payment amount for each person must be calculated using snow, etc. Furthermore, when shopping at a supermarket or the like, for example, when shopping for personal purposes or for shopping requested by a company, if only the total amount of the purchased items is printed on the receipt, it will be troublesome to pay the bills later.

Means for Solving the Problem This invention provides a method for calculating the sum of the amounts for each group, in addition to the total amount of the multiple products, when multiple products are divided into multiple groups and monetary registration is performed for each group. The cash register is capable of outputting an individual subtotal amount indicating an amount, and includes an input means for inputting amount information, and a means for accumulating the input amount each time the amount information is sequentially inputted from the input means. , an individual subtotal key for instructing output of the individual subtotal amount; a means for outputting the amount accumulated by the totalizing means in response to key input of the individual subtotal key; and a totalizing means in response to the output of the output means. A means for erasing the amount accumulated up to that point is provided.

When amount information for each of a plurality of products is inputted from the action input means, the amounts are sequentially added up for each input. When the individual subtotal key is input, the accumulated total amount is outputted by the output means. When the output is output by the output means, the total amount accumulated up to that point is cleared and the amount is calculated again! A calculation is started. In this way, when the individual subtotal key is keyed in for the first time, the sum of the amounts from the first input is output, and when the individual subtotal key is keyed in thereafter, the next keystroke from the individual subtotal key is output. The sum of the amounts entered up to the input of the individual subtotal key is output.

and a circle key 48 are provided. The reset key 44 is a key operated to cancel the registration and return to the cutting yJ state. The training key 5 is a key operated when calculating the total amount. The subtotal key 46 is a key for obtaining the subtotal amount from the start of sales registration.

The individual subtotal key 47 is, for example, a key for determining the total sales amount for each group, and when this individual subtotal key 47 is pressed, the input from the numeric keypad 43 from the previous press until the time it is pressed again is a key. The subtotal amount of sales is displayed on the display 3. When pressed for the first time, the subtotal amount from the start of registration is input. The yen key 48 is only used to register the amount of each item sold, and is pressed after inputting the amount from the numeric keypad 43.

FIG. 4 is a direct block diagram of the cash register shown in FIG. 2. The cash register 1 is equipped with a CPU 6. The above-described printer 2, display 3, keyboard 4, and cash box 5 are connected to the CPIJ 6.

Further, the CPLI 6 is equipped with a memory 7 and a buzzer 8 that generates a warning when an operation error occurs. In memory 7,
For example, the CPU 6 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B
The operating program is stored. Further, as will be explained later in FIG. 5, the memory 7 has a storage area for storing at least the total amount, individual subtotal amount, and single item amount.

FIG. 5 is an illustrative diagram of the storage area 70 of the memory 7 shown in FIG. The storage area 70 includes a single item amount storage area 71 for temporarily storing the single item amount (Z) each time the single item amount is entered from the numeric keypad 43, and a single item amount storage area 71 for temporarily storing the single item amount (Z) until the individual subtotal key is input. Total 11'5 (Y)
It includes an individual subtotal amount storage area 72 for storing , and a total amount storage area 73 for storing the total amount (X) of single item amounts from the start of sales registration.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of payment at a restaurant equipped with a cash register according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, payment items, amounts, and individual subtotal amounts are shown for each customer A to D. Further, the total amount to be paid by customers A to D is shown at the bottom.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of steps for registering sales while obtaining individual subtotals in the cash register according to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the sales example shown in FIG.

Steps 1 to 4 are operations and processes for customer Δ shown in FIG. In step 1, the operator of cash register 1 presses r500 from numeric keypad 43.
．． Key in J and then press the circle key 48. Then, r500J is displayed on the display 3. Similarly, in step 2, key in r300J from the numeric keypad 43,
Then press the Yen key 4th. Then, the display 3 shows r
300J is displayed. Next, since the customer wishes to pay individually, the operator presses the individual subtotal key 47. Then, "800J" is displayed on the display 3, indicating the total payment amount for customer △.In step 4, the operator receives cash from the customer and pays change if necessary. Then, in the final step 17, the total key 45 is pressed to obtain the total amount.R3680J indicating the total amount is then displayed on the display 3.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the CPU 6 of the cash register according to an embodiment of the present invention. Next, the operation of the cash register according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail based on FIGS. 1A and 1B.

In the initial state, the CPU 6 displays rOJ on the display 3 (state $1) and clears each of the storage areas 71 to 73 shown in FIG. 5 (step S2). Step $
3, the CPU 6 waits for key input. For example, the operator operates the numeric keypad 43 to input the amount of ``curry and rice j'', which is the payment item for customer △.When the first digit of the amount is input, the CPIJ 6 inputs the type of key input in step S4. If it is a numeric keypad, the process proceeds to step S5, and the input numerical data is stored in the single item price storage area 71.In step s6, the input numerical data is displayed on the display 3.The first digit is input. Subsequently, the remaining data of the single item price is entered (step S7), and in step S8, the type of input key is determined. If it is a numeric keypad, the process returns to step S5. In the loop from step 85 to step S8, , Numerical data input one by one digit moves to the higher order loss each time an input is made in the single item amount storage area 71, and the numerical data inputted to the lower digits are stored one after another and become one amount data. At this point, if the operator notices a mistake in the amount and is unable to correct it, press the reset key 4.
Just press 4.

Then, since the cash register 1 is in its initial state, money can be registered from the beginning. Operator is 1
When the input of the amount data is completed, the Yen key 48 is pressed to instruct the delimiter.

In response, the CPU 6 prints the single item price data using the printer 2 (step S9). In step S10, CP
LJ6 calculates the total amount (x) and the individual subtotal amount (Y), stores the calculation results in each storage area, and clears the single item amount storage area 71.

Subsequently, the process advances from step 810 to step S3, and the key input function is resumed. When the operator then inputs the amount of customer A's next payment item, for example, "hot coffee," the CPU 6 similarly performs steps 84 to S10 described above. When the input of the amount is completed, the process advances to step S3 and no key input is required. When the customer wishes to make an individual payment, the operator presses the individual subtotal key 47. °When the individual subtotal key 47 is pressed,
Proceeding to step 814, the CPU 6 prints the individual subtotal amount, for example, "800 yen" on the printer 2, and
The individual subtotal amount is displayed (step 515). In step 816, the individual subtotal amount (Y) is cleared to "0".
"become. As a result, when the amount information is input again from the numeric keypad 43, the individual subtotal amounts from that input are integrated. In step 817, it is determined whether the cash box is in the oven;
If it is closed, the cash box is opened (step 818). For example, the operator receives payment from customer A and hands over change if there is any. The operator repeats the same operation for customers B-D, and finally presses the total key 45 as shown in step 17 of FIG.
Proceeding from step S4 to step 819, the total amount is printed by the printer 2 and displayed on the display 3 (step 5
20).

If any key other than the numeric keypad 43, circle key 48 and reset key 44 is erroneously operated in step $7 described above, the buzzer 8 is sounded for, for example, one second to warn the operator. If you make a mistake like this, you can enter the key again. If the subtotal key 46 is pressed during registration, the process proceeds from step S4 to step S12, where the subtotal amount is printed by the printer 2 and displayed on the display 3. In this case, there is no need to perform cash processing, so the cash box oven is not performed. Furthermore, if the yen key 48 is pressed without inputting amount information from the numeric keypad 43, this is an operational error and the buzzer is sounded (step 823).
! This will give you a warning and allow you to enter it again.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, for example, when a large number of customers wish to make individual payments, the individual subtotal amounts for each customer can be output, so the operator does not need to calculate the individual subtotals again. This eliminates the need for customers to wait and reduces the burden on operators.
