Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a transaction processing device, and more particularly, to a transaction processing device that allows a user to set desired report creation operations when creating a report that aggregates data related to transactions. Regarding.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As is well known, electronic cash registers (hereinafter referred to as ECRs) are installed in stores such as supermarkets. During the store's business hours, each time a customer purchases a product, the registration process for the product purchased by the customer is performed by an operator's operation. A summary report regarding sales is created.

However, the printer installed in the conventional ECR is
Because the number of characters that could be printed on a line was small, it was not possible to create a report that was easy to understand.

In addition, the report creation mode includes an inspection mode in which the data stored in the memory is read and printed, and a settlement mode in which the memory is cleared after printing the data.
In CR, for example, the types of reports that can be created in the payment mode are predetermined, and the user cannot freely change the type of report.

Furthermore, conventional ECRs are provided with a counter that counts the number of report creations, but this counter counts the number of reports regardless of the type of report or counts the number of times for each predetermined type. If a user wants to count the number of times a report has been created according to its own classification, there is a problem in that the user must write down the number of times in a memo or the like each time a report is created. As described above, since the operation of the conventional ECR is predetermined when creating a report, it is not possible to perform the operation desired by the user.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a transaction processing device that can perform the operations desired by the user when creating a report.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a transaction processing device that allows a user to set a desired report creation operation when creating a report that aggregates data related to transactions. mode switching means for switching between a mode and a report creation mode for creating a report; an input means for a user to input a report identification code for identifying a report; and an operation specification code for specifying a report creation operation; A storage means capable of storing an identification code and an operation designation code; and a mode switching means stores the report identification code and action designation code input from the input means in response to selection of a setting mode. Then, in response to the report creation mode being selected by the mode switching means, the storage means is searched based on the report identification code inputted from the input means, the corresponding action designation code is read out, and the read out action is performed. and an operation control means for controlling the operation based on the specified code.

[Operation] In the setting mode, when a report identification code for identifying a report and an operation specification code for specifying a report creation operation are input, the transaction processing device according to the present invention stores these codes in the storage means, and generates a report. In the creation mode, the storage means is searched based on the input report identification code and the corresponding operation designation code is read out to control the operation, so that the report creation operation desired by the user can be performed. Can be done.

Subsequently, in response to the @ key 34 being operated, the CPU 2 determines that the numerical data '001' stored in the numerical data buffer 72 is the report identification code, and inputs the numerical data '001'. The report identification code is transferred to and stored in the report identification code buffer 73. Subsequently, when the numeric keypad 33 is operated and numeric data is input, the input numeric data is stored in the numeric data buffer 72, and the numeric data is displayed on the display 4. Here, for example, if "111" is input, "111" is stored in the numeric data buffer 72.
and displayed on the display 4. Subsequently, in response to the operation of the ST key 36, the CPU 2 determines that the numeric data "11bi" stored in the numeric data buffer 72 is an operation designation code, and selects the numeric data "11".
1'' is transferred to the operation designation code buffer 74 and stored.

Subsequently, the CPU 2 inputs the report identification code stored in the report identification code buffer 73, for example "001", and the action designation code stored in the action designation code buffer 74, for example "111", into the set code memory machine, rear 7
The data is stored in one vacant area, for example, the first area. In this way, the setting code storage area 71 stores the report identification code and the corresponding operation designation code.

Next, when creating a report, the operator switches the mode changeover switch 31 to report creation mode. Then, key operation is performed according to the key sequence shown in FIG. 4(b).

The CPU 2 determines whether or not the numeric keypad 33 has been operated in response to the key input from the keyboard 3, and transfers the input numeric data to the numeric data buffer 72 in response to the numeric keypad 33 being operated. The numerical data is then displayed on the display 4. Here, for example, if "005" is entered manually, "005m" is stored in the numerical data buffer 72 and displayed on the display 4.Subsequently, in response to the operation of the X/z key 35, C.P.
U2 determines whether or not the setting code storage area 71 stores anything that matches the numerical data "005" stored in the numerical data buffer 72. Here, if a matching code does not exist in the setting code storage area 71, other processing is performed, but if a matching code exists, the operation designation code is read from the corresponding area where the matching code is found. , operation specification code buffer 74
to be memorized. That is, here, "002m" is stored in the operation designation code buffer 74.Next, based on X of the operation designation codes, it is determined whether or not to output the report as a settlement report.Here, If you do not want to output it as a settlement report, perform other processing, but
When outputting as a settlement report, it is then determined based on the XO whether to print by the receipt/journal printer 5 or the report creation printer 6, and the corresponding printer performs printing. Subsequently, based on X2, the count value of the number of report creation times is updated by +1 using the corresponding counter, and the process returns to the initial state.

As described above, in this embodiment, the store can independently set operations related to report creation, such as whether or not to output a settlement report, selecting a printer, and selecting a counter.

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when the setting mode is selected, when a report identification code for identifying a report and an operation specification code for specifying a report creation operation are input, the The code is stored in the storage means, and when a report creation mode is selected, the storage means is searched based on the input report identification code and the corresponding operation designation code is read out to control the operation. Therefore, the user can set what operations are to be performed when creating a report.
