Abstract

PURPOSE:To rapidly calculate an individual customer by having a display with a touch sensor at a POS device and displaying a product name and a quantity from a screen with an input corresponding to the individual payment. CONSTITUTION:In a figure, (a) displays a set of sales information and total sales information for five persons is displayed. When a customer hopes a payment classified by individuals and an individual payment mode is designated, the arrangement position of a touch sensor is displayed before a product code. In the figure, (b) displays the sales information to one customer, one customer pushes the purchased product out of a set of sales for the quantity with a touch sensor, and thus, an individual section display is executed. By issuing the receipt of the customer, the individual section display is eliminated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to the functionality of a POS device, particularly to the improvement of customer payment methods.

[Conventional technology]

In the accounting method using a POS system in a restaurant or the like, when a plurality of customers accompany each other, accounting is performed at once for sales product codes and quantities. However, there are cases where customers request individual accounting.

At this time, the POS system operator first inputs all applicable product codes and quantities using keystrokes or a remote input device, and then calculates the amount to be paid by each person using a calculator or the like separately from the POS system. There is.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When an individual payment is requested as described above, the operator has to check the amount from the receipt or menu and enter it manually into a calculator, which takes time. It will cause trouble. Furthermore, there is a possibility that an error may be made in inputting the amount into the calculator.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a POS device that is capable of executing an individual payment mode in response to individual payment requests without requiring special calculations using a calculator or the like.

[Means for solving problems]

The POS device of the present invention has, as input means, a means for inputting from a see-through touch sensor provided on the display screen, and a means for inputting a set of sales information such as product code and quantity using an operation panel or a remote input device. We are prepared. and a means for performing arithmetic processing on a set of sales information input from the operation panel or remote input device and displaying the accounting information in a fixed format on a display device screen; means for inputting the individual payment sales information through the computer, dividing one set of sales information, processing the data separately for the individual payment and the remainder, and displaying each of the accounting information as separate sections on the screen of the display device; , means for repeating the means of (dl) for inputting the individual payment information again and dividing the remaining data, and means for issuing an individual slip as a slip.

[Effect]

The above-mentioned set of sales information means, for example, one accompanying
Regarding customers in a group, first, the name of the product, quantity, price, and accounting for all products are displayed on the screen of a display device equipped with a touch sensor based on input from an operation panel or the like.

If there is a request for individual payment, by entering the sales information to the individual @ (individual order) on the screen, the display screen will be divided into two sections, one section (individual section) containing accounting information about the requested individual. In other sections (residual sections), bulk accounting information regarding all other people's orders is displayed.

If another individual requests individual payment, the same operation is repeated. At this time, the display screen has the same content as the remaining sections of the previous stage.

Individual slips will be issued for each stage of individual payment.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the display screen of the see-through type display device with a touch sensor will be explained with reference to FIG.

Note that the touch sensor may be of any type, such as an infrared type or a film sheet type.

Figure 1 (al is an example where one set of sales information is displayed. When in the individual payment mode, the location of the touch sensor is displayed before the product code on this display screen. Figure 1 (b) is an example in which sales information is input for - customers, and the accounting information for that customer and the remaining accounting information are displayed separately on the screen.The input of sales information is Although various methods can be considered, in this example, the touch sensor is placed at a position corresponding to the product code in the individual payment mode, and the touch sensor is pressed at that position by the amount corresponding to the product code.Customer's receipt Upon issuance, the personal section display for the customer is erased, and only the remaining section display shown in FIG. 1(b) remains, so the sales information of another customer is inputted from the touch sensor using the same operation.

Next, FIG. 2(a) shows the appearance of the embodiment, and PO8
The device has a keyboard 11 on the operation panel as an input device, and outputs slips using a printer I2.

The display device is a display device 10 with a touch sensor, and input can be made in an individual payment mode using a touch sensor 15 arranged on the screen. Figure 2) is a circuit block diagram of CPU1

has.

The operation of this POS device will be explained below with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The part shown in Figure 3 (al) shows the normal sales operation. This is a case in which input is made from a portable terminal as an input device.Sales information is input at once for multiple customers accompanied by normal sales operations, and the screen display shown in Figure 1fa) is displayed on a display device with a touch sensor. Appears on top of 10. In FIG. 3(b), if it is not the individual payment mode (PIO), a receipt is issued (pH) and it is added to the daily account memory (PL2).

However, if there is a request for individual payment (PIO), the name of the product to be paid by customer N and the
Enter the quantity (PI3). With this input data, customer N
The remaining portion after subtracting the portion for customer N and the portion for customer N is eliminated, and a division display such as PI3) in Fig. 1 is displayed on the display device 10 with a touch sensor. Repeat this operation until you finish entering the product name and quantity for customer N.

I3) L, issue an individual receipt (PI8). At this time, the data and display regarding customer N are erased. Furthermore, the above-mentioned operation is repeated for all accompanying persons until it is completed (PI3). However, I canceled the individual payment mode halfway through,
If the remaining amount is to be paid in one lump sum (P2O), the total amount of the remaining amount is calculated, accounting information is displayed (P21), and a receipt is issued for the remaining amount (P22).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the PoS device of the present invention has a display device with a touch sensor, and allows the product name and quantity to be entered on the screen. The Po8 operator once inputs all sales information regarding multiple customers, and when a customer requests individual payment, puts the Po8 into individual payment mode, searches for each customer's order on the display screen, and presses the touch sensor. Re-enter by pressing . At this time, the display is divided into a personal division screen and other division screens, and accounting information is displayed. After completing the input for each customer, money and receipts are exchanged. As mentioned above, since the operator does not have to perform calculations for individual customers using a separate calculator, there are no input or calculation errors, and the calculations are performed quickly, so there is no traffic jam.
