Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a general buyer to easily read a list price or the like by selecting for a display block one or plural blocks comprising a shape 'square with cross', whose positions differ between the shape 'square with cross' shown by figure a with respect to four blocks in nine same shape. CONSTITUTION:For displaying the list price of 150yen in the package of a commodity, for example, a code 11 showing a number 1, a code 15 showing a number 5 and a code 10 showing '0' are printed in a horizontal line with leaving a little space between. When the commodity in which the list price is displayed by the codes is arranged in a showcase in a convenience store, the buyer can learn the list price 150yen from the numbers included in the codes 11, 15 and 10. When the codes 11, 15 and 10 are put in a reader at the time of payment, which block is occupied by the number as the display block or which block is in a blank state without being occupied by the number is detected, whereby the numbers are read and accurate reading is executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for printing and displaying list prices and the like on various products or their packaging using codes.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a display method of this type, a method of printing and displaying the list price using a bar code on the packaging of a product has been widely used. This conventional method has the advantage of requiring a smaller and cheaper reader than the method of directly reading numbers when reading list prices from barcodes. ,
The drawback was that barcode printing required high precision.

In order to improve this, one of the four blocks of Tanoji
By blacking out one or more of the 16 codes that represent the numbers 0 to 9 and the Roman letters A, B, C, D, E, and F, and printing these codes on the product packaging. A method of displaying the list price, which is accurate in reading and does not require much precision in printing, has been proposed.

However, with any of these conventional display methods, there is an inconvenience for general buyers who cannot know the list price by displaying the code, so many products are printed with a numerical list price display in addition to the code display. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention provides a product that allows general purchasers to read the list price, etc., while having the advantages of the conventional display method using the Tanoji code. The purpose is to provide a method for displaying list prices, etc.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the configuration of the present invention is such that for each of the four blocks in the nine ``Ta'' characters, one or more blocks located at different positions between the ``Ta'' characters are arranged. Select the block as a display block, write the numbers 1 to 9 in each day character display block so as to occupy the display block, and write the nine types of codes representing the numbers 1 to 9, and Do not write numbers in characters 0
The present invention is characterized in that it uses a type of code representing , and a code with characters, and selects and prints the code with characters that corresponds to the list price, etc. that should be displayed on the product or product packaging.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

First, the character code used in the method of the present invention will be explained. The character code in this example is 0 to 9 as shown in the first diagram.
10 types of numeric codes including Arabic numerals, A,
It consists of 6 types of character codes including the Roman letters B, C, D, E, and F, among which the numeric codes are:
Code (1) representing O with no numbers or letters written in the character
0), 4 blocks (1), (2), (3)
, (4) are used as display blocks, and the number 1 is assigned to the display blocks (1), (4).
) The code representing the number 1 (1
1), Blocks (2) and (3) among the 4 blocks
is the display block, and the number 2 is written in the occupied state. Code (12) representing the number 2, block (1),
(3) is used as a display block, and the code (13) representing the number 3 is written in the occupancy status of the block (13).
2), (3), and (4) are used as display blocks, and a code (14
), Blocks (1), (2), and (4) are used as display blocks, and the number 5 is written in the occupied state to represent the number 5 (15), Blocks (1), (3), (4) is the display block, and the number 6 is written in the occupied state. Code (16) representing the number 6, block (2), (
4) as a display block, the number 7 is written in the occupancy state, the code (17) representing the number 7, the block (1
), (2), (3), and (4) as display blocks, and the code (18) representing the number 8 written with the number 8 in the occupied state, and blocks (1), (2), and (3). As a display block, the number 9 is written in the occupied state.
Consists of 10 types of codes (19) representing

In addition, the one-character code is block (1) as a display block, code (20) representing the letter A with the Roman letter A written in the occupied state, block (2) as the display block, and code (20) representing the letter A written in the occupied state. Letter B written in Occupancy status
The code (21) representing the block (3) is the display block, and the character C is written in the occupied state in the block (3).
Code (22) representing.

Block (4) is used as a display block, and a code (23) representing the character is written in the occupied state.Blocks (1) and (2) are used as display blocks, and the character E is written in the occupied state. The code for the letter E (24
), blocks (3) and (4) are used as display blocks, and the code (25) representing the letter F is written in the occupied state.

These codes can be used to 1 e.g. list price 1 on product packaging.
To display 50 (yen), use the packaging (P
), a code (11) representing the number 1, a code (15) representing the number 5, and a code (10) representing the number O are printed in a horizontal line at small intervals from each other. If a product whose list price is displayed using a code is placed on a shelf in a supermarket, the purchaser will be able to use the code (11), (15), etc.
The list price of 150 yen can be determined from the numbers included in (10). Also, when making a payment, if you apply the above codes (11), (15), (10) to the reader, the four blocks (1), (2), (3),
Among (4), the numbers are read by detecting which position of the block is occupied by numbers as a display block, or which position of the block is not occupied by numbers and is in a blank state. Accurate readings are made.

Another example of the character code shown in FIG.
blocks (1a), (2a), (3a), (4a)
A small space (5a) is left between each other, thereby making it easier to write numbers only in the display block when writing numbers,
Also, the code (13a) representing the number 3 is the block (1a
), (2a), (4a) with the number 3 written in them, and the code (15a) representing the number 5 is the block (1a), (
2a), (3a), and (4a) with the number (5) written in them, and the code representing the number 8 (], 8a) are the blocks (1a) and (3a) with the number 8 written in them, respectively. The design has been changed, and the arrangement of numbers and letters for other codes has been changed to the first
This is an example that is substantially the same as the figure.

Still another example of the code with characters shown in FIG. 2b
), (3b), (4b) with the number 3 written in them, and the code (18b) representing the number 8 is the block (lb), (
Change the design to one with the number 8 written in 3b),
The other codes are examples in which the arrangement of numbers and letters is substantially the same as in FIG.

The code with characters used in the present invention can be obtained by changing the design of the display block in the zoji in various ways other than the upper side, and if necessary, only the code with numbers can be used.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the method for displaying list prices, etc. of products of the present invention, similar to the conventional display method using Tanoji codes, there is no need for much precision when printing list prices, etc. on products or their packaging. Not only does this make it easier to read the printed code using a reading device, it also allows for accurate reading when reading the printed code using a reading device.Moreover, if the list price etc. is displayed on the product using this display method,
General purchasers can know numerical values such as the list price from the code display, and product sellers are freed from the inconvenience of having to print out the numerical list price and other displays in addition to the code display.
