[Registration processing] involves storing the department code, sales amount, number of units sold, etc. of products sold by credit card in the memory section, calculating the total amount, etc., and storing the results as the slip number and card number. This is a job that involves printing on printing paper (receipts) and recording paper (journal) along with other documents. Furthermore, the [inspection process] is a job for printing out the total sales amount, total sales points, etc. accumulated in the storage unit by the [registration process]. Furthermore, the [accounting process] is the total amount accumulated and stored in the storage unit by the [registration process] at the end of a day's work, for example.

This job is to print out the total score, etc., and clear the contents of one copy of the storage section.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the register.

The CPU (central processing unit) 30 has a built-in arithmetic circuit, etc.
In addition to performing various arithmetic processing based on input information from the keyboard 2, the address bus 31, data bus 32 . Via the control line 33, a ROM 34 that stores individual data such as processing programs for each business, and a RAM 35 that stores sales data such as the sales amount of each product manually input are operated. Further, a control key input circuit 36 receives command signals from the control keys 26, a keyboard input circuit 37 receives key signals from the keyboard 2, and a display control circuit 3 sends display signals to the display 3.
8, and a printer 9 that prints out on printing paper (slip)
The printer control circuits 39 of the respective data buses 32 . It is connected to the CPU 30 via a control line 33.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the storage area of the RAM 35. R
The AM 35 includes a customer memory (main itemizer) 41 that sequentially adds product sales data inputted using the numeric key 21 to store the sales amount for one customer, and a memory for each department code manually entered using the department key 22. a departmental total amount memory 42 for adding and storing the sales amount; a customer number memory 43 for storing the customer number entered using the numeric key 21 or the card reader 8; In the area corresponding to your customer number,
There is a sales status data memory 44 that stores accumulated sales status data (to be described later), a registration flag area 45 where a flag is set in the registration mode, and a flag that is set when a customer number is stored in the customer number memory 43. and a customer number flag area 46. Here, the above-mentioned sales situation data refers to the above-mentioned C
Data for one customer calculated by PU31,
For example, it is a type of service calculated by multiplying the sales amount by a certain constant. Note that the storage contents of the sales situation data memory 44 that stores this sales situation data are such that they do not disappear even at the time of the settlement process 1.

The CPU 31 is configured to operate according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 depending on the key input.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the operation flow when the customer number registration key 24 is operated manually. When the customer number registration key 24 is input, 5
It is determined whether a flag is set in the registered flag area 45 as T51, and if it is set,
5T52, it is determined whether or not there is an input from the numeric key 21.

Here, if there is no input from the numeric key 21,
It is determined whether or not there is an input from the card reader 8 as Sr13. Then, press number key 21 again on 5T52 or 5T53. If there is an input from the card reader 8, the input contents are stored in the customer number memory 43 as 5T54, and a flag is set in the customer number flag area 46 as 5T55. Note that if the flag is not set in the registration flag area 45 in Sr11 or 5T43, or if there is no input from the card reader 8, the process shifts to error processing.

Further, when the department key 22 is input, the operation follows the flow shown in FIG. That is, when the department key 22 is input in the registration mode, it is determined whether or not a flag is set in the registration flag area 45 as 5T61, and if it is not set, the flag is set as 5T62. Thereafter, when sales amount data is input from the numeric key 21 as 5T63, this input data is accumulated in the departmental total amount memory 42, and
It is stored in the customer memory 41 as needed. The contents stored in the customer memory 41 are displayed on the display 3 and simultaneously printed on printing paper and recording paper by the printer 9.

On the other hand, when the total key 23 is input in the registration mode, the operation follows the flow shown in FIG. That is, if the registration flag is set, 5T71
At the same time, the drawer 7 is opened, and the contents of the customer memory 41 are added up by the current totalizer, and this added value, that is, the total sales amount data, is displayed on the display 3 and simultaneously printed on printing paper and recording paper by the printer 9. . Here, 5T7
2, it is determined whether or not a flag is set in the customer number flag area 46, and if it is set,
5T73, services for the customer are calculated by multiplying sales situation data for each customer, for example, total sales amount data, by a constant based on the total sales amount data. Then, the services are stored in the area corresponding to the customer number of the sales situation data memory 44, and the stored contents are printed by the printer 9. Thereafter, the flag set in the registration flag area 45 as 5T74 is cleared, and the contents of the customer memory 41 are cleared.

If the flag is not set in the customer number flag area 46 at 5T72, the process directly goes to 5T74 to clear the registration flag and the customer memory contents.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the operation flow when the exchange key 25 is input. When calculating services for a customer as sales status data and storing this in the sales status data memory 45, the customer can always request exchange of these services for cash, and the requested amount can be entered using the numeric keys 21. is input.

In other words, in Sr11, it is determined whether or not the requested amount has been input using the numeric key 21, and if there has been input, it is determined whether or not a flag is set in the customer number flag area 46. If it is set, the requested amount is subtracted from the storage contents stored in the area of the customer number in the sales situation data memory 44 as Sr12, that is, the total amount of the service charge, and the amount exceeding the total number of service charges is calculated as Sr12. If it is confirmed that no request has been made, the result of the above subtraction is stored in the sales situation data memory 44 as a new total bill amount, and the storage contents of this area are changed. After that, open drawer 7 and open the customer number flag area.

Clear the flag set in 46. Note that if the requested amount is not input using the number key 21 after 25 inputs of the cash exchange key, it is assumed that the customer has not requested cash exchange, and the customer number flag is cleared.

In this embodiment configured in this way, when the cashier inputs a customer number using the number keys 21 or the card reader 8 and also inputs the registration key 24, the input customer number is stored in the customer number memory 43. At the same time as being stored, a flag is set in the customer number flag area 46. Next, when product sales data is input using the number key 21 and the department key 22, a flag is set in the registration flag area 45, and the sales amount is accumulated for each department in the department total amount memory 42, and at the same time the sales The amount is stored in customer memory 41. Thereafter, when the total key 23 is input, the contents of the customer memory 41 are added to calculate the total sales amount.

Here, if the customer number flag is set, this total sales amount is multiplied by a constant to calculate the services,
Services are accumulated in the corresponding customer number area of the sales status data memory 44 and stored as a total service amount. .

On the other hand, if the customer requests to exchange all or part of the total amount for cash, the cashier inputs the exchange key 25. Then, it is determined whether the requested amount is within the total -bis amount, and if it is within the total amount, it can be exchanged for cash.

Thus, according to this embodiment, sales status data can be stored for each customer, and this sales status data can be output as needed, so by setting services as sales status data, Similar services can be provided without giving discounts at the time of purchase or issuing cash coupons called service coupons as in the past.

Therefore, the cashier's labor is reduced, and the customer is also freed from troublesome work. Furthermore, since the store can grasp sales status data for each customer, it is possible to advertise products according to customer requests, eliminating the need for meaningless advertising and saving advertising costs.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, in the embodiment described above, a case has been shown in which services are calculated by multiplying total sales by a constant as sales status data, but the present invention is not limited to this. It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, the present invention registers a customer number set for each customer by the customer number registration means, stores the registered customer number in the customer number memory, and also inputs the registered customer number from the input section. Adding the input product sales data and storing it in a customer memory, calculating sales status data for one customer by a sales status data calculation means based on the stored contents of the customer memory, and finalizing the registration process for the one customer. The sales situation data is stored in the area corresponding to the customer number stored in the customer number memory by the sales situation data storage means in response to the input of the closing key.

Further, the present invention registers a customer number set for each customer by a customer number registration means, stores this registered customer number in a customer number memory, and adds product sales data input from an input unit to The sales status data is stored in a memory, and the sales status data for one customer is calculated by the sales status data calculation means based on the stored contents of the customer memory, and the sales status data is calculated in response to input of a closing key for closing the registration process for the one customer. The storage means stores the sales situation data in an area corresponding to the customer number stored in the customer number memory, and the stored sales situation data is outputted by the sales situation data output means.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electronic cash register that can manage sales data according to customers, and that can realize a sufficient service system without forcing cashiers and customers to perform complicated tasks. .
