Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic cash register suitable for use in stores that issue service coupons such as stamp coupons and 90% discount coupons.

[Prior Art] In conventional electronic cash registers, when the number of sales items, sales amount, etc. of sales items are entered from a keyboard, etc., the number of sales items and sales amount are accumulated in an internal storage section, for example, by classification code, and the sales information is also stored. When the sales amount is added and the sales registration for 1M customers is finalized, the added sales amount, ie, the total amount of the sold products, is displayed on the amount display.

By the way, some retail stores such as supermarkets issue service coupons such as stamp coupons and discount coupons to customers who purchase more than a certain amount, and these service coupons can be used as cash coupons, or customers who have collected more than a certain amount Some stores try to retain customers by providing services such as giving gifts to customers.

In such stores, the cashier mentally calculates the number of service tickets to be issued according to the total price of the sales items displayed on the price display after completing the sales registration operation or uses an electronic desk counter.
1st prize, and handed out the corresponding number of service coupons along with a receipt issued from an electronic cash register.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this case, the number of tickets to be issued may not be calculated quickly, or the number of tickets to be issued may be delayed due to a calculation error, which places a heavy burden on the cashier. Recently, it has been considered that a service ticket issuing machine is connected to an electronic cash register and the machine automatically calculates the number of service tickets issued, but this service ticket issuing machine is very difficult to use. It was expensive and impractical.

Therefore, the present invention can automatically, accurately and quickly calculate the number of service tickets to be issued according to the total amount of sales products, and can reduce the cashier's labor.
The purpose is to provide an electronic cash register that can be realized at low cost.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic cash register of the present invention is provided with a service key 1 that declares the issuance of a service ticket, and also sets the amount of money per service ticket. A price setting memory 2 is provided, and a determining means 3 determines whether or not a closing operation has been performed when the service key 1 is pressed, and when the determining means 3 confirms that the closing operation has been performed, the total amount of the sold products is set as described above. A calculating means 4 for calculating the number of service tickets issued by dividing the amount by the set amount in the amount setting memory 2, and a display means 6 for displaying the number of service tickets issued calculated by the calculating means 4 on a display al15. It is something that

[Function] With an electronic cash register that takes such measures, when you operate the service key after closing the product registration, the service is activated by subtracting the set amount per service ticket from the total amount of sold products. The number of tickets to be issued is calculated and displayed on the display, so the cashier only needs to issue the same number of service tickets as the cashier has set this display.

[Embodiment J] Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described in which the present invention is used in a store that issues stamp tickets as service tickets.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the electronic cash register in the same embodiment. In the figure, a CPLJ (central processing unit) 11 has a built-in operating circuit, a memory control circuit, etc., and performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on various input data, as well as an address bus 12, a data bus 13, and a signal @
The ROM 15, which stores fixed data such as programs for executing each business mode such as "registration,""accounting," and "setting," and the RAM 16, which stores variable data such as operational data, are operated via the 11114. let

Also, the keyboard input circuit 18 for inputting key signals from the keyboard 17, the I10 boat 20 for monitoring the status of the control keys 19, and the sales amount.

Display to display the total amount, etc.! A display control circuit 22 that drives 21 to display characters, etc. corresponding to display data.
, printer 2 that prints on receipts and journals
A printer/drawer control circuit 25, etc., which controls the driving of the drawer 24 and the opening/closing of the drawer 24, is connected to the data bus 13.3. It is connected to the CPU 11 via a signal line 14.

As shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard 17 includes a number key 26 for inputting the sales amount, number of items sold, deposit amount, etc. of the sales item, and a department key for inputting the department code into which the sales item is classified. 27. In addition to the I/total key 28, which is operated as a closing key for sales registration, a stamp key 29 for declaring the issuance of stamp tickets is provided as a service key. Further, the control key 19 is also arranged on the keyboard 17. This control key 19 controls the power on/off and also controls the start of each task such as "registration", "payment", "setting", etc.
This is a IIItIl switch for instructing the PU 11 to execute the command.

The RAM 16 includes a current totalizer 3 for accumulating the state total amount of one product registration, an amount totalizer 31 for calculating the total amount of 11 product registrations, and a department for accumulating the number of sales items, sales amount, etc. for each department code. In addition to a totalizer 32, a stroke count buffer 33 for temporarily storing the number data, a registration flag 34 indicating that sales are being registered, etc., a stamp price setting memory 35 in which the price per stamp ticket is set; A stamp number calculation memory 36 is formed to which the contents of the amount totalizer 31 are transferred when calculating the number of stamps issued.

The CPU 1 is programmed to operate according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 in response to key data input from the keyboard 17. That is, when key data is input (Pi), it is determined which key the data is input from. Then, if the department key 27 is input (P2), Lr:]n! '
If the 0-key 19 status is determined (P3), and the registration J business mode is selected, it is determined whether or not the numeric data is stored in the numeric buffer 33 of the RAM 16 (Pi). If the number data exists, the sales amount of the sold product is added to the amount totalizer 31 as a department registration for the sold product, and the number of sales items, sales amount, etc. are accumulated for each department code of the sold product in the department totalizer 32 (P5 )
. Next, the sales amount of the sold product is displayed on the display 21 and printed on the receipt and journal by the printer 23 (P6.7), and the registration flag 34 of RAMI 6 is set to wait for the next key input (P8).
).

Also, if the deposit/cash key 28 is input (P9), I1
The state of the control key 19 is determined via the 0 port 2o (Plo), and if the "registration" business mode is selected, it is determined whether the registration flag 34 in the RAM 16 is set (pH). If it is set, the contents of the amount totalizer 31 will be added to the current totalizer 3o.
I3), the contents of this amount totalizer 31 are displayed on the display 21.
and print it on receipts and journals (p13.14). Thereafter, the drawer 24 is opened (PI3) and the contents of the amount totalizer 31 are transferred to the stamp number transfer memory 36 (P16). Then, the amount totalizer 31 is cleared, the registration flag 34 is reset, and the next key power is obtained (P17).

Furthermore, if the stamp key 29 is input (PI3),
The state of the control key 19 is determined via the I10 boat 20 (P19), and if the "registration" business mode is selected, it is determined whether the registration flag 34 in the RAM 16 has been reset (P2O). If it has been reset, determine whether there is data in the stamp number calculation memory 36 (P21), and if data exists, subtract the contents of the stamp amount setting memory 35 from the contents of the stamp number calculation memory 36 and round down the decimal places. By doing so, the number of stamp tickets to be issued is calculated (P22).

Then, the calculated number of issued sheets is displayed on the display 21 (P23). After that, the stamp count calculation memory 36 is cleared and the next key input is waited for (P24).

In the electronic cash register of this embodiment configured as described above, department registration is performed using the keyboard 17, and when a closing operation is performed by inputting the deposit/total key 28, the contents of the amount totaler 31 are That is, the total amount of the sold products is added to the cash totaler 30, displayed on the display section 21, and printed on a receipt or the like. After that,
As the drawer 24 opens, the amount totalizer 31
The contents of are transferred to the stamp number calculation memory 36, the amount totalizer 31 is cleared, and the registration flag set at the time of department registration is reset.

In this state, when the stamp key 29 is input, the amount per stamp ticket set in the stamp amount setting memory 35 is subtracted from the contents of the stamp number calculation memory 36, that is, the total amount of sales items. The number of stamps issued is calculated and displayed on the display section 21. Therefore, the cashier only has to issue stamp tickets as many as the number of stamp tickets displayed on the display 21 and hand them to the customer along with the receipt.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the store opens, zero amount per stamp (for example, if the total amount is 50 yen and one stamp is issued, 50 yen) is set in the stamp amount setting memory 35 of the RAM 16. By doing so, by simply inputting the stamp key 29 on the keyboard 17 after completing the product registration operation, the correct number of stamps to be issued is automatically and quickly calculated and displayed on the display section 21.

Therefore, the cashier does not need to calculate the number of stamps to be issued from the total price of the sold products using a cashier or an electronic desktop calculator, which reduces his labor and improves operability. Furthermore, there is no need to connect an expensive stamp issuing machine or the like to the electronic cash register, and the conventional configuration can be used as is, so it can be realized at low cost.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, in the embodiment described above, a case was shown where a stamp ticket was issued as a service ticket, but the present invention can also be applied to a case where other service tickets such as a discount ticket are issued. Further, in the above embodiment, a case where department registration is performed using a keyboard is shown, but it goes without saying that PLU registration using a barcode scanner or the like may also be performed. It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, the number of service tickets to be issued can be automatically, accurately and quickly calculated according to the total amount of sold products, and the labor of the cashier is reduced. It is possible to provide an electronic cash register that can be realized at a low cost and that can be measured.
