Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic cash register having a plurality of person-in-charge keys and cumulatively storing sales data such as sales amount for each person in charge of operating the cash register.

[Prior Art] Generally, electronic cash registers installed in department stores, supermarkets, etc. are operated by a plurality of persons in charge (cashiers). In such a sales floor, it is necessary for each person in charge to manage, for example, the daily sales amount, so in addition to the sales registration file that registers the sales data of each product sold, for example, by department code, in the electronic cash register. , a sales memory for each person in charge is provided to cumulatively register sales data (sales amount) for each person in charge. Further, the keyboard is provided with a plurality of person-in-charge keys that are operated by keys for specifying the person in charge of actually executing sales operations at the electronic cash register.

Before each person in charge starts sales operations using this electronic cash register, each person in charge sets his or her own person in charge code using the person in charge key and the number key. After that, when a normal sales registration operation is performed, the sales data of the sales product entered by the key is registered in the sales registration file mentioned above, and is cumulatively recorded in the manager sales memory in which the manager code is set. Therefore, it is possible to manage sales data such as sales amount for each responsible person.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as described above, even if the electronic cash register is equipped with a sales memory for each responsible person that can cumulatively record sales data of multiple responsible persons for each responsible person, there are still problems that need to be solved. There was a problem as follows.

That is, in department stores and supermarkets, multiple electronic cash registers are used by many responsible persons (cashiers), so the number of responsible persons who may use one electronic cash register becomes extremely large. However, the number of manager keys that can be arranged on the keyboard of an electronic cash register is naturally limited by the size of the keyboard, manufacturing cost, etc., and is limited to a few in a typical electronic cash register. Further, the number of responsible persons that can be set at the same time in the normal sales memory for each responsible person is equal to the number of responsible person keys. Therefore, if you do not clear the stored contents of the sales memory for each responsible person and set a new responsible person code after printing out the stored contents of the sales memory for each responsible person, the sales memory for each responsible person must be cleared. A new person in charge for whom a person code has not been set cannot use this electronic cash register. Therefore, a person in charge whose number is greater than the number of keys for a normal person cannot perform sales operations using this electronic cash register.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to increase the number of responsible persons who can be set in the responsible person memory that stores the responsible note name, sales by responsible person, etc., based on the number of installed responsible person keys. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic cash register that can simultaneously and easily manage each business status, each sales amount, etc. of many responsible persons (cashiers) by increasing the number of cash registers.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The electronic cash register of the present invention has a plurality of person-in-charge keys for identifying the person in charge of actual operation among a plurality of people in charge of operation, and a person-in-charge code for each responsible note name. A separate responsible person name memory is provided, and each responsible person code corresponding to each responsible person key is selected and set, and the responsible pitch name corresponding to the responsible person key operated at the same time as the registration result on the receipt is also responsible. The name is read from the person's name memory and printed out.

In another invention, in addition to the above invention, a sales memory for each person in charge is provided for cumulatively storing sales data for each person in charge.

In still another invention, a sales memory for each manager key is provided which cumulatively stores sales data for each manager code set for each of the above-mentioned manager keys.

In still another invention, the sales memory by person in charge and the sales memory by person in charge key are provided at the same time.

In still another invention, the above sales memory by person in charge and the sales memory by person in charge key are provided at the same time, and after outputting the memory contents stored in the sales memory by person in charge key during settlement operations, the information stored in the sales memory by person in charge key is outputted. This clears the responsible person code corresponding to the sales memory by key.

[Function] If the electronic cash register is configured in this way, when a sales operation is performed after operating one of the manager keys before starting the sales operation, the operator code will be preset to the operator key that was operated. The responsible pitch name read from the responsible person name memory corresponding to the responsible person code set by the setting means is printed out on the receipt.

Another advantage of the invention is that, in addition to the above-mentioned effects, sales data of products sold by each person in charge are accumulated and stored in the area of the person in charge of the sales memory for each person in charge.

In yet another invention, the sales data of the products sold by each person in charge is stored in the area of the person in charge's code in the sales memory for each person's key provided corresponding to the person in charge's key operated by the person in charge. Stored cumulatively.

Yet another function of the invention is that each sales data is cumulatively stored in the sales memory for each manager key as described above, and is also cumulatively stored in the area of the corresponding manager code in the sales memory for each manager.

In addition to the above-mentioned effects, another function of the invention is that when the stored contents of the sales memory by person in charge key are output at the time of payment, the person in charge code corresponding to the outputted sales memory by person in charge key is automatically set. cleared.

[Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the electronic cash register of the embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a housing, and the front of this housing is provided with a keyboard 2 as an input device, and the upper part of the front is provided with a display section 3 for electronically displaying the department code of the sold product, the sales amount, etc. A receipt issuing port 4 is formed adjacent to the keyboard 2. Further, a drawer 5 for storing cash and the like is formed in the lower part of the housing 1, and a display part 6 for customers is attached to the upper surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, the keyboard 2 has number keys 7 for inputting the number of sold items, sales amount, etc., and a department key 89 for inputting the department code of the sold items, etc. In addition to registration keys such as deposit/cash total key 9 for calculation, various function keys such as #/current main key 10 PLU key, and two responsible keys 11a, 11b, and 2.
Types of control keys 12 and 13 are arranged.

Each of the responsible person keys 118.11b is a key operated by a key for setting a responsible person (cashier) code for operating this electronic cash register in the storage section before starting sales operations, and in this embodiment, can set four responsible person keys 1 to 4. FIG. 1 shows that the first person in charge key has been set.

One of the control keys 12 is also a key-operated control key for causing the control section to execute various business modes such as ``setting'', ``registration'', ``inspection'', and ``payment'' in normal business. The control key 13 is a control key for printing out the cumulative sales amount for each person in charge stored cumulatively in a sales memory for each person in charge, which will be described later, formed in the storage section.

FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of each display element in the display section 3, which consists of a numerical display element that shows an 11-digit number and 11 try marks of the type that display the operating status of this electronic cash register. has been done.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the electronic cash register, and numeral 15 in the figure is a CPU (central processing unit) that executes various arithmetic operations based on various key signals input from the keyboard 2. This CPU 15 is connected to a ROM 16. which stores fixed data such as control programs via a data bus or the like.

A sales memory R5 for each responsible person key stores the cumulative sales amount for each code, and a sales memory R6 for each responsible person stores the cumulative sales amount for each responsible person code of all the cashiers who use this electronic cash register. has been done.

When the electronic cash register is powered on and various initial processes are completed, the CPU 15 is configured to execute the main routine shown in FIG. 6. That is, when the main routine is started, it waits for a key signal input from the keyboard 2. When a key signal is input, the control key 13 is activated at Pl as shown in Fig. 1 [Inspection]
If the control key 12 is set to a position other than [tl calculation] and the control key 12 is not set to the [registration] business mode, check whether this control key 12 is set to the [setting] business mode at P2. investigate. If [Settings] is set to business mode, the keyboard 2
If the key signal input from is #/current main key 10, the task of setting the manager code for the manager key memory R3 in the RAM 17 is started, and it is determined that tc, and the manager code setting process shown in FIG. 7 is started. Execute.

In FIG. 7, when the responsible person code setting process is started, the responsible person key 118° 11b of the keyboard 2 is pressed to
- Confirm that one of the four responsible person keys is turned on using the key. Thereafter, before manually operating the #/genpei key 10, it is confirmed by pressing the numeric key 7 that the numerical data has been placed in the numeric buffer in the work area R2. If there is numerical data, it is confirmed that the numerical data is a responsible person code that has already been set in the responsible pitch name memory R4, and that the same responsible person code has not already been set in the responsible person key memory R3. Also, confirm that no other responsible person code has already been set in the responsible person code area corresponding to the turned on, that is, set (designated) responsible person key in the responsible person key memory R3. When the confirmation operation is completed, the responsible person code placed in the number buffer is stored in the responsible person code area corresponding to the set responsible person key of the responsible person key memory R3.

In the main routine shown in FIG. 6, if the control key 12 is set to the [registration] business mode in Pl, it is determined that normal registration work is in progress, and the person in charge key 1 is set to the [registration] business mode.
1a, 11t), only one of the responsible person keys 1 to 4 is turned on, and the responsible person code is stored in the responsible person code area of the corresponding responsible person key in the responsible person key memory R3. Check. When the confirmation is completed, the type of key signal input from the keyboard 2 is checked. If this key signal is from the deposit/cash key 9, it is determined that the manual key operation of the sales data of all products sold to one customer has been completed and closing processing such as calculating the total amount has started. Then, the deposit/account key process shown in FIG. 8 is executed.

In FIG. 8, when deposit/cash key processing is started, it is first confirmed that the registration flag in work area R2 is set to 1, and whether numeric data is stored in the number buffer or not. Find out. If there is numerical data, it is determined that the deposited amount has been entered manually using the number key 7, and it is confirmed that the deposited amount is greater than or equal to the total amount accumulated in the totalizer in the work area R2. Then, in F)4, the total amount is registered in the sales registration file R1, and the total amount is added to the sales amount area of the person in charge key that is turned on in the sales memory R5 for each person in charge key. Furthermore, the above-mentioned total amount is added to the cumulative sales area corresponding to the responsible person code corresponding to the turned on responsible person key of the responsible person key memory R3 in the sales memory R6 for each responsible person.

When the storing process of the sales memory R5 by person in charge key and the sales memory R6 by person in charge is completed, it is checked again in R5 whether or not the number data is stored in the number buffer. If there is a deposited amount, the change is calculated and the change is displayed on the display section 3.6, after which the drawer 5 is opened for money transfer. and,
The printer 18 prints out the total amount, deposit amount, and change amount on a receipt. Note that if there is no numerical data in the number buffer, there is no deposit amount, so the total amount is displayed on display section 3.
6 and open drawer 5. Then, only the total amount is printed out on the receipt.

Next, the responsible pitch name of the corresponding responsible person code is read out from the responsible pitch name memory R4 and printed out on the receipt.

Then, the receipt is cut and discharged from the receipt issuing port 4. Since the sales registration process for one customer is thus completed, the registration flag in work area R2 is reset to zero.

In the main routine shown in Figure 6, when the control key is set to the [Payment] business mode in R6,
Since the day's sales work has ended and settlement work is in progress, a check is made to see if the key signal input from the keyboard 2 is from the deposit/cash total key 9. If the deposit/cash total key is 9, it is determined that the settlement operation of the sales memory R5 by person in charge key has started, and the settlement process by person in charge key shown in FIG. 9 is executed.

In FIG. 9, when the settlement process for each responsible person key is started, it is determined that the numerical data placed in the number buffer is a number indicating the responsible person key number 1 to 4, and that the sales by responsible person key is confirmed. It is confirmed that the sales amount is stored in the sales amount area corresponding to the responsible person key indicated by the number in the memory R5. Thereafter, the corresponding sales amount is read out from the sales amount area corresponding to the corresponding person in charge key in the sales memory R5 for each person in charge, and is printed out on the receipt together with the corresponding person in charge code.

Then, it clears the read sales amount area of sales memory R5 by person in charge key, and also clears the person in charge code stored in the person in charge code area corresponding to the person in charge key in the print output stream of person in charge key memory R3. .

In addition, when printing out the cumulative sales amount for each responsible person stored cumulatively in each sales cumulative area of the sales memory R6 for each responsible person in the RAM 17, set the control key 13 to the [Settlement] work position, and then print out the cumulative sales amount for each responsible person. After entering the responsible person code for the cumulative amount of sales to be made using the number keys 7, the deposit/cash key 9 may be operated in the same manner as described above.

If the electronic cash register is configured in this way, the responsible person code and responsible phonetic name of the responsible person (cashier) who may use this electronic cash register are set in advance in the responsible person name memory R4 of the RAM 17. put. In this case, the number of persons in charge that can be set is greater than the key number of persons in charge, which is four. Then, before starting the day's work, set the control key 12 of the electronic cash register to [Setting] work, and then use the key to operate the responsible keys 11a, 11b and number key 7 to use this electronic cash register today. The responsible person codes of the four or less responsible persons to be responsible are set in the responsible person code area corresponding to each of the responsible person keys 1 to 4 of the responsible person key memory R3.

Then, the control key 12 is set to the [registration] task to start the normal sales registration task. That is, one of the four responsible persons registered earlier inserts the key corresponding to the number 1 to 4 of the responsible person key in which his/her own responsible person code has been registered into the responsible person keys 11a and 11b, and then presses the corresponding responsible person key. Turn on (set).

In this state, if you carry out sales registration work using normal key operations, each sales data of the product sold to one customer will be registered in the sales registration file R1, and the total amount will be stored in the corresponding sales memory R5 for each person in charge key. The sales information is cumulatively stored in the sales area of the person in charge and the cumulative sales area of the person in charge's code in the sales memory R6 for each person in charge. Also, the department code of the sold product is on the receipt.

The responsible phonetic name is printed out along with the sales amount 1 total amount, etc.

Then, during the settlement operation performed after the end of the day's work, the sales by manager key accumulated in each sales area of the sales memory R5 by manager key, that is, the sales by manager who used this electronic cash register today. The amount will be printed out. When the printout is completed, each responsible person code set in the responsible person key memory R3 is cleared.

With such an electronic cash register, by setting the responsible person code and responsible phonetic name of the responsible person who may use this electronic cash register in advance in the responsible person name memory R4, it is possible to register the responsible person before the start of work. With a simple setting operation, the name of the person responsible can be printed out on the receipt, and the cumulative sales amount for each person in charge can be stored. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the responsible pitch name and responsible person code each time, for example, four people in charge use the electronic cash register every morning.

Furthermore, since the number of responsible persons who use the same electronic cash register in one day is usually not more than a few persons, the number of sales areas in the sales memory R5 for each responsible person key that is settled every day may be small.

In addition, the cumulative sales amount for each person in charge is stored separately in the sales memory R6 for each person in charge, so even if the person in charge of using this electronic cash register is changed every morning, it is not necessarily the case that the person responsible for using this electronic cash register changes each morning. It is possible to know the cumulative sales amount for each person in charge without having to settle the sales amount.

In addition, when each sales amount in the sales memory R5 for each responsible person key is printed out at the time of settlement performed after the end of the day's work, the responsible person set in the responsible person code area of the corresponding responsible person key in the responsible person key memory R3 will be printed out. Since the code is also cleared, the person in charge who has already made the payment cannot perform sales operations using this electronic cash register unless he or she sets his or her own person code in the person in charge key memory R3 again. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the person in charge of payment from using the electronic cash register by mistake.

Further, for example, the storage capacity of the RAM 17 can be used rationally by setting the sales memory R5 by person in charge as the cumulative total for each day and the sales memory R6 for each person in charge as the cumulative total for each month. Furthermore, since the sales amounts for each person in charge can be totaled on a daily and monthly basis, business management for each person in charge can be easily performed.

Furthermore, since the sales information of all the responsible persons who may use this electronic cash register is cumulatively stored in the sales memory R6 for each responsible person, all the responsible persons can be efficiently managed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the number of managers that can be set in the manager memory that stores the manager core, sales by manager, etc. is greater than the number of manager keys installed. therefore,
One electronic cash register allows many responsible persons (cashiers) to use this electronic cash register.
each business status.

Each sales etc. can be managed simultaneously and easily.
