Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a register 4 end placed in a retail store, etc.
Especially regarding the sales amount display method.

(Prior art) Conventionally, the sales amount displayed at the end of the register seat displays the price of the product at the time of product registration. displays the attached 7JO information of the corresponding product, and displays the total sales amount after the registration of all sales products is completed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In the conventional method of displaying sales amounts (at the end of the register), the total sales amount is displayed after all products have been registered. It was difficult to know the total sales amount during the registration process, and if you purchased more than you had, adjustments such as returns would have to be made after all items had been registered, which caused a stagnation in register operations. .

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above drawback by displaying the cumulative sales amount up to that point together with the product price and additional information when registering each sales product, so that it is possible to know the total sales amount even in the middle of product registration. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying sales amount on a register terminal configured to allow the following.

[Means for solving problems]

The sales amount display method in a register terminal according to the present invention is configured to include a data input section, a calculation section, first and second storage sections, and a visual display section.

The data input section is for inputting data, and the calculation section is for calculating cumulative sales amount based on the product price obtained from the input product data.

The first storage section is for storing additional information such as the product price and product name that are input and obtained from the ``Kuyamihin Deme'', and the second storage section is for temporarily storing the calculated cumulative sales amount. It is for the purpose of

The visual display section is for displaying the total sales amount calculated by the calculation section and additional information such as the product price and product name given to the data input section.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to all the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of realizing a sales amount display method in a register terminal according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a data input section, 2 is a storage section, 3 is a storage section, 4 is a calculation section, and 5 is a visual display section. In the data input section 1, 11 is a numerical input device, and 12 is a product code reading device. In the storage unit 2, 21 is a product information file. In the storage unit 3, 31 is a cumulative sales amount storage area. In the calculation unit 4, 41 is a computer. In the visible display section 5, 51 is a display device.

First, product data is input in the data input section 1.

The data input section 1 includes a numerical input device 11, a product code reading device 12, and the like.

The numeric input device 11 has numeric keys from O to 9, a key to signify the end of numeric input, a key to clear the numeric value if an incorrect number i is input, and a key for individual customers. It is equipped with a key to signify the end of inputting product data, as well as function keys with all other special meanings. When inputting product data, the price of the product is entered using the numeric keys, and the input of one product is completed using the numeric input end key.

The product code reading device 9 12 is a device that reads a product code attached to a product using a laser or the like. Product codes include barcodes and OCR codes. A barcode is a code consisting of several numeric sequences "k-?t" in a striped pattern.

Lasers emitted from fixed scanners (devices fixed on a table) and barcode hand scanners (devices that are held and operated) stripe the barcode information in the form of 0" and 1" (remember, 1ON'). and "OFF") information, and this information of '0' and 1' is further converted into a number string.In this way, the product code of the striped pattern on the product is read as a number string. read into the device.

An OCR code is a product code in which numbers in a predetermined form and several symbols are arranged according to a predetermined rule, and represents information about the product.

O consisting of numbers and symbols can be directly read by an optical reader.
The OR code is read by the device.

Based on the product code read by the product code reader i12, information on the input product is extracted from the product information file 21 stored on the disk or memory.

The product information includes additional information such as the price and name of the product, and the price of the product can be obtained from this information. The price of the product obtained in the data input section l, and Attachment 7
The JO information is sent to the display section R51 of the visual display section 5. At the same time, the product price is also sent to the calculation section 4, and the amount stored in the cumulative sales amount storage area 31 on the storage section 3 immediately before the product data input and the above additional information are calculated by the calculator 41. . The calculated fr original cumulative sales amount is stored in the cumulative sales amount storage area 31 again. The new cumulative sales amount is sent to the display device 51 of the visual display unit 5 and displayed together with the previous product price and additional information (if any). The display device 51 refers to a display, a printer, etc., and the display must have a number of digits that can simultaneously display the cumulative sales amount, product price, and additional information (if any).

The cumulative sales amount stored in the cumulative sales amount storage area 31 can be set to 0 yen before entering product data for each customer, and furthermore, it is possible to return the product or correct the entered product data when entering the product data. In this case, calculation section 4
Calculator 41 calculates the price of the product from the cumulative sales amount.
! It is necessary to be able to subtract .

When the data entry for all products for each customer is completed,
Press the key indicating the end of product input from the numerical input device 11, read the cumulative sales amount from the cumulative sales amount storage area 31, and store that amount as the total sales amount'.
It is displayed on the display device 51 of the visible display section 5 as a column.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the sales amount display system at the register terminal of FIG. 1 according to the present invention.

In Figure 2, in (2-A), when the customer enters the first product, the cumulative sales amount is 0 yen before the product entry starts, so the cumulative sales amount is displayed after entering the product. The price is displayed as 100 yen, which is the same as the product price. (2
In -B), a product costing 200 yen is input, and the cumulative sales amount is 100 yen + 200 yen, which is displayed as 300 yen. In (2-E), since the 200 yen product was returned or corrected, the cumulative sales amount becomes 1050 yen by subtracting 200 yen from the previous cumulative sales amount of 1250 yen. In (2-F), a product of 350 yen is entered, and the cumulative sales amount is 3
After adding 50 yen, the total amount is displayed as 2,550 yen. 35
Since the product with a price of 0 yen is the last product, the product data input process is completed, and the last cumulative sales amount of 2,550 yen is displayed as the total sales amount.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention allows the customer to see the total sales amount by displaying the cumulative sales amount up to that point together with the price and additional information of the product at the time of registering each sales product. This has the effect that it is easy to make predictions before the end of product registration.As a result, if you purchase more than you have, you can adjust your purchases before the end of registration for all products. This has the effect of making register operations smoother after all product registrations are completed.

In particular, in a POS (point of sale) system that handles product code reading devices, the price of the product can be obtained from the product code.
There is no need to price each item, making it more difficult for customers to know the total price during shopping. Therefore, by displaying the cumulative sales amount, you can make adjustments so that you do not purchase more than you have before all product registration ends, making register operations even smoother. It has the effect of being able to be transformed into
