Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR).
In particular, the present invention relates to an ECR that is separated into a registration section and a payment section, where the registration section registers data regarding products, and the payment section performs detailed processing such as change processing.

N Key Points of the Invention The ECRI according to this invention separates the registration department and the payment department, and the registration department registers the data for each product, issues a card with the total amount recorded, and uses the card as When a customer inserts money, the payment department automatically identifies the amount of money and handles change and other payment processing in the payment department, making the payment process easier! 11 t) is 1゜Conventional technology In the conventional EGRI, the operator inputs the customer's purchase I, = product price data using Ten 4-1, and enters the department code from Department 4-1. By inputting and repeating this process, data related to all products can be recorded. When the operator completes the recording process, the operator operates the deposit/rule key to issue a command for the τ pewter operation, and the operator receives the cash paid by the customer and performs the settlement process.

By the way, when the inside of a supermarket or the like becomes crowded, customers often have to stay open for a long time in order to get the ECR to register immediately. this is,
This is because it takes a long time for an operator to input data regarding the products purchased by a customer from a keyboard. In order to simplify this sigma recording process, an ECR system has also been put into practical use in which a bar code is attached to the product in advance and any errors are read and registered using the software.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In both ECRs, which record data about products using the keyboard or the keyboard, there is no difference in payment processing.

In other words, the operator registers data regarding the product using the keyboard or swipe 11, then instructs the cash calculation, and then receives cash from the customer and processes the change.

On the contrary, this change processing also takes a relatively long time, so the registration section and the payment section are separated, so that two operators can operate the registration section and the payment section separately.
11 E CR has also been put into practical use.

However, the two-person FORR system in Japan had the disadvantage that an operator had to be assigned to each of the registration department and the elite department, requiring more manpower than necessary.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ECR in which a checkout section is provided separately from a zero record section, and the processing in the checkout section is automated, thereby contributing to labor savings.

Means for Solving the Problems The FOR according to the present invention is configured separately into a registration section and a settlement section. A plurality of registration sections are provided, each of which has a product data input means for inputting data related to the product, and a calculation means for calculating the amount data included in the input data regarding the six products. and a card issuing means for issuing a 7]-card on which the calculated combined denomination data is recorded.

On the other hand, the payment section is equipped with at least one card reading means for reading the total amount recorded on the issued card, a display means for displaying the read total amount data, and a display. It is composed of an amount discriminating means for determining the amount of money paid by the customer by looking at the amount, and a change processing means for processing change if the determined amount is greater than the sum R1 amount J: read from the card.

Function: In the ECR according to the present invention, an operator key-inputs data regarding products purchased by a customer in the registration section, performs a combination, and issues a card on which the amount of C1 is recorded. The customer receives the card, goes to the place where the essence department is installed, and has the total amount recorded on the card read and displayed.

When the customer sees the display and inserts money at the checkout section, the amount of the money is determined and compared with the sum of 11 read from the card. The change will be processed. As a result, an operator only needs to be assigned to the registration department, and the payment process can be automated, contributing to labor savings.
