Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic cash register that allows payment with a service ticket.

[Prior Art] As one of the sales strategies of a store, there are cases in which a plurality of types of service coupons are issued to customers who have purchased products, each of which has a service coupon amount corresponding to the total price of the purchased products.

Then, when the customer collects the service coupons and purchases a product at the store next time, the customer can pay the price with the service coupon amount written on the service coupon instead of cash.

In this way, by issuing service coupons with the service coupon amount corresponding to the total amount indicated, it is possible for the customer to receive this discount when shopping next time, compared to the case where the discount is given in cash on the spot. The probability of visiting the store increases.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, conventional electronic cash registers do not have a function to separately aggregate payments by service coupons and payments by cash. When aggregating, it was impossible to distinguish between the amount of cash sales and the amount of sales from service coupons among the total sales totaled on the electronic cash register.

Therefore, when it became necessary to separate, it was necessary to account for the actual cash stored in the drawer. Also,
It was necessary to total the amount of each service ticket received from the customer.

However, if the total service ticket amount of each service ticket received from - customers exceeds the payment amount, generally we will not provide change corresponding to the excess service ticket amount, so payment by service ticket will be canceled. It was difficult to determine the exact value.

The present invention provides an electronic cash register that can separately manage service coupons and cash payments by accumulating the amount paid in cash and the amount paid in service coupons in separate memories. The purpose is to

[Means for Solving the Problem] As shown in FIG. In an electronic cash register that displays and outputs the total amount accumulated on the totalizer and in response to at least the operation of the subtotal key C, the combination key operation of the number key e and the service ticket key f is used. A service ticket sales memory 9 that accumulates service ticket amounts corresponding to the total amount of the input service ticket amounts, and a cash sales memory h that accumulates the cash amount paid in cash out of the total amount. Difference confiscation processing means 1 that prints out the excess service ticket amount as a difference of zero on a receipt when the service ticket amount exceeds the total amount of the total device.
If the input service ticket amount is less than the total amount in the totalizer and there is a shortage, it will correspond to an undefined amount of the cash amount input by the combination key operation of the number key e and the cash total key. and a shortfall cash processing means j for accumulating the amount of cash in the cash sales memory h.

[Operation] With the electronic cash register configured in this manner, the amount paid in cash out of the total amount is aggregated in the cash sales memory, and the amount paid in service coupons is aggregated in the service coupon sales memory. Ru.

If the keyed service ticket amount exceeds the total amount, the excess amount will be confiscated and the difference will be printed out on the receipt as zero. In addition, if a shortfall occurs, the shortfall will be paid from the cash amount that is separately provided by key personnel.

[Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the electronic cash register of the embodiment, in which a keyboard 1 as an input device is provided on the front of the casing, and the department code of the sold product, the sales amount 9, the total amount, etc. are displayed on the top of the casing. A display section 2 is provided to display electronic information, and a receipt issuing port 3 is provided at the middle and bottom portions, respectively.
, a drawer 4 is provided for use when selling cash.

Furthermore, a display section 5 for customers is attached to the top surface of the housing.

As shown in the figure, the keyboard 1 includes numeric keys 6 for entering the sales amount of sold products, department keys 7 for indicating the classification of products, and a subtotal for calculating the total amount to date (subtotal amount). Key 80 Cash total key 9 as a closing key when paying with cash, service ticket key 10 as a closing key when paying with a service ticket, sales registration keys such as the PLU key operated when entering the PUU code In addition, a control key 11 is provided for specifying the business mode of this electronic cash register, such as [registration], [inspection], and [setting], which are operated with a key.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the electronic cash register. The CPU (central processing unit) 12 has a built-in arithmetic circuit, etc., and performs various kinds of processing based on input information from the keyboard 1. a ROM 16 for storing fixed data such as programs for each of the above-mentioned tasks via the data line 15;
The key operates the RAM 17 which stores sales data such as the sales amount of each product manually entered. Also, a control key input circuit 1B receives command signals from the control keys 11, a keyboard input circuit 190 receives key signals from the keyboard 1, and a display ll1m circuit 20. Printerllll11 circuit 22 of dot printer 21 that prints out on the receipt
It is connected to the CPU 12 via the remote terminals 9 and 14 and 115.

As shown in FIG. 4, the RAM 17 contains a departmental sales registration file R1 that tallies the number of sales items, sales amount, and number of customers of each sales product manually entered by department code, the sales price of each sales product, and the department. PLU memory R2 stores codes by PLLJ code, PLU sales registration file R3 tallies the number of sales items, sales amount, and number of customers for each sales product manually entered by PLLJ code, - the total amount of products sold to one customer Calculating totalizer R4, key Service ticket amount memory R that temporarily stores the manually entered service ticket amount
5. Cash amount memory R6 temporarily stores the key input cash amount; Total sales memory R7 sums up III sales proceeds; Cash sales memory R7 accumulates the cash sales amount; Accumulates the service ticket sales amount based on the service ticket amount. A service ticket sales memory R9, a service ticket difference memory R10 that accumulates the difference in service ticket amount exceeding the total amount, and a number buffer R11 that temporarily stores the numerical value entered with the Il number key 6 are formed. There is.

The CPU 12 then executes normal department registration processing using the department key according to the flowchart in FIG. When the flowchart is started and numeric data is input using the numeric key 6 at Pl, the numeric data is stored in the numeric buffer R11 and displayed on the display section 2.5. Then, when the department key 7 is pressed manually at P2, the entered number becomes the sales amount, and the sales amount of the sales data whose department code is the code of the pressed department key 7 is added to the totalizer R4. , is added to the area of the corresponding department code in the departmental sales registration file R1. Further, the sales score 1 is subjected to FJQ sieving into the area of the corresponding department code. Thereafter, the department code and sales amount are displayed on the display section 2.5, and as shown in FIG.
It is printed out on the receipt 25.

Since the department registration process for one sales product has been completed above, the process returns to Pl and starts the department registration process for the next product. Then, when the close key operation is executed at P3,
Proceed to P5 and execute closing processing.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing normal PLU registration processing using a PLU key executed by the CPLJ 12. When the flowchart is started and numeric data is input using the numeric key 6 at P6, the numeric data is stored in the numeric buffer R11. Then, when the PLu key is pressed manually at Pl, the entered number is used as a PLU code, and the sales price and department code of the corresponding PLU code are read out from the PLU memory R2. Then, add the sales price to the totalizer R4 as the sales amount,
Roughly add it to the PLtJ sales registration file R3PLU code area. In addition, the sales score 1 is the corresponding PLtJ
Add to code area. Thereafter, the department code and sales amount are displayed on the display section 2.5 and printed on the receipt 25 as shown in FIG.

Since the PLLJ registration process for one sales product has been completed above, the process returns to P6 and starts the PLLJ registration process for the next product. Then, when the closing key operation is executed in P8, the process advances to P9 and the closing process is executed.

The closing process at P5 in FIG. 5 and P9 in FIG. 6 is executed according to the flowchart in FIG. That is, when the subtotal key 8 of the keyboard 1 is pressed manually in Plo, it is confirmed that the [registration] mode is set with the control key 11, and that the sales data of at least one product is accumulated in the totalizer R4, for example. Make sure that Then, the total amount of the eight sales items on the totalizer R4 is displayed on the display section 2.5, and the total amount on the totalizer R4 is printed on the receipt 25 as a subtotal amount. When the service ticket amount is input by operating the combination key 6 and service ticket key 10 at Pll and P12, the service ticket amount is stored in the service ticket amount memory R5. The amount of the service ticket is also printed on receipt 25.

Next, the difference amount is calculated by subtracting the total amount of totalizer R4 from the service ticket amount. If the difference is O or a positive value on P14, [Difference O
yen] is printed. Then, the total amount is stored in the total sales memory R7.
It is also added to the service ticket sales memory R9. Furthermore, the calculated difference is stored in the service ticket difference memory R.
Add to 10. In this case, the totalizer R4 and service ticket amount memory R5 are cleared, and a series of closing processes using service tickets for - number of customers is completed.

When the difference becomes a negative value in P14, the difference is displayed on the display section 2.5 as a deficit amount. Then, when the amount of deposited cash is manually entered by key operation of the combination key 6 and cash total key 9 in PI3 and PI3, the amount of deposited cash is temporarily stored in cash amount memory R6. Next, the shortfall amount is subtracted from the deposited cash amount. If the difference obtained by subtracting the insufficient amount from the deposited cash amount at that point becomes a negative value, an error is determined.

Next, the difference is displayed on the display sections 2 and 5 as change.

Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the receipt 25 shows the service ticket amount, cash payment amount, and deposit amount.

Print out the change.

Roughly, the total amount of totalizer R4 is added to total sales memory R7. Further, the service ticket amount in the service ticket amount memory R5 is added to the service ticket sales memory R9. after that,
The totalizer R4, service ticket amount memory R5, and cash amount memory R6 are cleared to complete the closing process for one customer.

If you wish to pay the entire amount in cash from the beginning, if you enter the deposit amount and then operate the cash total key, the well-known closing process using cash will be executed.

With the electronic cash register configured in this way, out of the total sales amount accumulated in the total sales memory R7 in the RAM 17, the cash sales amount paid in cash is accumulated in the cash sales memory R8, and the cash sales amount is accumulated in the cash sales memory R8, and the cash sales amount is accumulated in the cash sales memory R8 in the RAM 17. The paid service ticket sales amount is accumulated in the service ticket sales memory R9. Therefore, during [Section III] operations at the time of closing, the RAM
By outputting the total sales amounts to each of the 17 memories, it is possible to immediately grasp each cumulative value.

In addition, the cashier simply inputs the service ticket amount written on the service ticket received from the customer, and only the amount corresponding to the total amount from the service ticket amount is automatically added to the service ticket sales memory R9. Therefore, the cashier does not have to input the key amount corresponding to the total amount. In addition, the difference obtained by subtracting the total amount from the service ticket amount written on the service ticket is not returned as change and is confiscated, but it is printed on the receipt 25 as [Difference amount O yen], so the customer is notified that they have the change for the service ticket. You can indicate not only verbally but also in writing that you will not be paid.

In addition, in this embodiment, the difference is accumulated in the service ticket nod memory R10, so the total value of the service ticket amount of the last service ticket received from the customer after the store is closed and the cumulative amount in the service ticket amount memory R9. Service ticket difference memory RIO
Since the total value matches the cumulative amount of , it is possible to understand the usage status of the service ticket in more detail.

In addition, if a shortfall occurs because the service ticket amount is less than the total amount, the shortfall amount will be automatically paid later with the cash amount input by key personnel, so you can pay by mixing the service ticket and cash. Since it is possible to do this, it is possible to further improve the service to customers.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the electronic cash register of the present invention, by accumulating the amount paid in cash and the amount paid in service coupons in separate memories, the amount paid in cash and the amount paid in service coupons are stored in separate memories. and cash payments can be managed individually and more precisely.
