Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device having a file memory in which a large number of single product records are arranged in ascending order of single product codes.

[Prior art] JAN and EAN are the individual codes attached to each product.
, UPC, PLU, and other codes are known, but when managing single item sales data using these codes, it is necessary to arrange in the file memory several thousand to 1000 single item records in order of ascending power of the single item code. I remember doing that. Single item records include, for example, single item code, name (product name), unit price,
It consists of a status setting section, sales amount, and cumulative sales points section.

When a single item code is entered using an input means such as a key or a barcode scanner during registration, a single item record with the same code as that single item code is searched from the file memory, and the name, unit price, status, etc. of that record are searched. Read out, display the unit price, and number of items on the display, print out the unit price, number of items, sales amount, and name on a receipt using a printer, and add up the number of items and sales amount to the number of sales items and sales amount in the cumulative section to register individual items. I try to do it.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] If some of the single records are arranged in a file memory in which such single records are arranged in a different order from the ascending order, it becomes impossible to search for records. There is a risk that you will not be able to register individual items. For this reason)? There was a demand for a system that would check the codes of single records arranged in the file memory, and if a different code arrangement was found, it would be notified so that corrections could be made.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a product sales data processing device that can notify if there is a single product record in a file memory in which the single product codes are not arranged in ascending order. It is something to do.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes a file memory a in which a large number of single item records consisting of at least a single item code, a name, and a unit price are arranged in order of ascending power of the item code; Instructions for checking the arrangement of single item records When the input means inputs instructions, the single item codes of the single item records stored in file memory a are sequentially checked, and each single item record is correctly arranged in ascending order of the single item code. Arrangement checking means C checks whether or not the arrangement is correct, and when an incorrect arrangement of the single item code is detected by the arrangement checking means C, it drives the printer d to print the single item record corresponding to the single item code and this single item record. A printing control means e is provided for printing out at least the single item code and name of the single item records arranged one after the other.

[Operation 1] In the present invention having such a configuration, when an instruction to check the arrangement of single item records is given by the instruction inputting hand Hb,
The arrangement checking means C checks the arrangement of the single item records stored in the file memory a in ascending power order, and if there is an incorrect arrangement, the printer d is driven by the print control means e to print out the incorrectly arranged single item records and their respective records. At least the single item code and name of the previous and subsequent single item records are printed out and notified.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to a POS (point of sale) system.

As shown in FIG. 2, a master ECR (electronic cash register) 3 and a plurality of satellite ECRs 4, 4, . . . are connected to a file controller 1 via a transmission loop 2.

Controls a file memory 34 in which single item records are arranged in accordance with an individual item code attached to each product, such as a JAN code, a transmission controller 35 that controls data transmission and reception to each of the ECRs 3 and 4, and a floppy disk drive @ 36. A DMAC (direct memory access controller) 38 is provided to directly control access to the floppy disk controller 37.

The CPU 31, ROM 32, RAM 33, file memory 34, transmission controller 35 and DMAC 38 are connected by a path line 39.

The keyboard 20 of each of the ECRs 3 and 4 has a number key 20r and a date key 202 as main keys, as shown in FIG.
, a JAN key 203, a cancel key 204, and a deposit/total key 20s. The control switch 22 switches the business mode to "set" or "set" as shown in FIG.
``Stop''``Registration''``Inspection'' ``It is a key switch that switches to Settlement J.

As shown in FIG. 7, the file memory 34 is provided with a JAN code file 341 consisting of nm banks (0) to (n) each having an address assigned thereto.
As shown in FIG. 8, the code file 341 is composed of a setting section 342 in which the JAN code, name (product name), unit price, and status corresponding to each product are set, and a totalizing section 343 in which the sales amount and number of sales items are accumulated. ing.

The RAM 13 of the master ECR 3 has three bank number and address storage buffers consisting of a bank number storage area and an address storage area, as shown in the ninth factor. 331
．． 332, 333 and two code storage buffers 334
．． 33s is provided. The bank number address storage buffer 1331 is for storing the previous code,
The bank number address storage buffer 332 is for storing the current code, and the bank number address storage buffer 1333 is for storing the subsequent code. Further, the code storage buffer 334 is for storing the preceding code, and the code storing buffer 335 is for storing the subsequent code.

CPLJll of the master ECR 3 performs the process shown in FIG. 10 when a key signal is input from the keyboard 20 with the control switch 22 specifying the "setting" mode. When there is a key input on the numeric key 201, it is stored in the numeric buffer and displayed on the display 18.

Also, if the date key 202 is pressed manually, it will check whether there is a numeric input just before it, and if there is not, it will be an error, and if there is, it will check whether the digit is "99", "1", or something else. , "99" sets the ascending power order check, and if "1" sets the mode designation "1".

Also, if the JAN key 203 is pressed manually, the JAN code check is set. Also, if there is key power for the deposit/account key 205, the check process is started. If the cancel key 204 is pressed during the rough check process, the check process is interrupted and a message to that effect is printed.

As shown in FIG. 11, the check process specifies the first code of the JAN code file 341 in the file memory 34 and stores the bank number and address in the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code. Also, the first JAN code is stored in the code storage buffer 334 of the previous code.

Subsequently, the second JAN code is designated and the bank number and address are stored in the bank number address storage buffer 333 of the subsequent code. Also, is the first JAN code a code storage buffer for the second code? 335. Then, the magnitude of the previous code stored in the buffer 334 and the subsequent code stored in the buffer 33s is compared. If it is a previous code <a subsequent code, it is determined that the codes are in the correct ascending order, and the contents of the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code are transferred to the bank number address storage buffer 331 of the previous code, and the contents of the bank number address storage buffer 331 of the previous code are transferred. The contents of the bank number address storage buffer 333 of the current code are transferred to the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code. Furthermore, the third JAN code is designated and the bank number and address are stored in the bank number address storage buffer 333 of the subsequent code. Also, the code stored in the code storage buffer 33s of the subsequent code is stored in the code storage buffer 334 of the previous code, and the third JAN
The code is stored in the code storage buffer 33s of the subsequent code. Then, the magnitude of the previous code stored in the buffer 334 and the subsequent code stored in 33s is compared again. If it is a previous code <a subsequent code, it is determined that the codes are in the correct ascending order, and the contents of the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code are transferred to the bank number address storage buffer 33t of the previous code, and the contents of the bank number address storage buffer 33t of the previous code are transferred. The contents of the bank number address storage buffer 333 of the current code are transferred to the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code.

Thereafter, the same comparison process is performed up to the last JAN code to check whether all the JAN code files 341 in the file memory 34 are in ascending order.

Also, if it is detected in this check that the JAN codes are not in ascending order, that is, the previous code>
When a subsequent code is detected, the contents of the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code are transferred to the bank number address storage buffer 33 of the previous code, and the contents of the bank number address storage buffer 333 of the subsequent code are transferred to the current code. Code bank number address storage buffer? 332. Furthermore, the bank number and address of the next JAN code are stored in the bank number address storage buffer 333 of the subsequent code. And each bank number address storage buffer F331.332
．． Based on the bank number and address of 333, the JAN code and name are read from the file memory 34, the bank number and address are added thereto, and the printer 15 prints out the JAN code and name. At this time, when printing data based on the bank number and address of the bank number address storage buffer 332 of the current code, a mark, for example, a "tree", indicating that the data is not in ascending order is printed.

In this embodiment with such a configuration, each ECR3,4
When the "registration" mode is designated with the control switch 22 in . . . , the registration task can be executed. In this business, for example, when the JAN code attached to a product is read using a barcode scanner (not shown), the JAN code attached to the product is read.
Send the AN code to the file controller 1. The file controller 1 searches the JAN code file 341 in the file memory 34 for a record based on the JAN code, reads out the corresponding name, unit price, etc., and sends it to the ECR that made the inquiry. The ECR displays the received unit price on the display 18 as the sales amount. At this time 2
If more points are input, the points and total amount will be displayed. It also drives the printer 15 to display the sales amount, number of sales items, etc.
Print out the name on receipts and journals. Furthermore, the JAN code, unit price, number of points, etc. are sent to the file controller 1. The file controller 1 searches the JAN code file 341 for a corresponding record based on the JAN code, and accumulates the sales amount and sales points in the sales amount area and sales points area of the record, respectively. This completes the single item registration.

Such single item registration is repeated for each item purchased by the customer, and a receipt is issued by closing the deposit/total key 205 on the keyboard 20.

Also, in the master ECR3, use the control key 22 to
Specify "Settings" mode to enable execution of setting tasks.

In this setting task, when "99" is entered with the fla key 20s and the date key 202 is operated, checking of ascending powers is specified. In this state, press the numeric key 201 to
1" and operates the date key 202, the designated mode is set. Then, when the JAN key 203 is operated and the deposit/account key 20s is operated, the JAN key 203 of the file memory 34 is
Records set in the AN code file 341 are checked in ascending order.

In this check, the first code is compared with the next code, and if the second code is larger than the previous code, it is determined that the code is set correctly. If the previous code is larger than the next code, it is determined that the codes are not set correctly in ascending order, and the name, bank number, and address corresponding to that code, the code before it, and the code after it are sent to the printer 15. Print out. In this way, a report as shown in FIG. 12 is issued. At this time, a mark as shown in the figure is attached and printed next to the JAN code corresponding to the code in the middle that is not in ascending order. In this way, JAN of file memory 34
If there are records that are not arranged in ascending order in the code file 341, it can be notified.

Furthermore, since the bank number and address can be notified along with the JAN code, it becomes easy to correct the record.

If the process of checking the ascending order is interrupted midway, the cancel key 204 is operated. The check process is then stopped, and the printer 15 prints, for example, the characters "Chushi" on the receipt to notify the user.

In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described as applied to a POS system, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, and can also be applied to a single ECR.

In the above embodiment, the JAN code, name, bank number, and address of records that are not in ascending order are printed, but the invention is not limited to this, and the bank number and address may not necessarily be printed. There's no need. Alternatively, the unit price and status of the record may be printed out along with the JAN code and name.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that can notify if there is a single product record in the file memory in which the single product codes are not arranged in ascending order. It is something.

Furthermore, it is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that can notify the bank number and address of a record and facilitate correction.
