2 is a diagram illustrating a plurality of price tables for each item of sale according to the present invention.

3 is a control flow diagram according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to an electronic cash register, and more particularly, to a method for querying price information and setting a price for each item.

Recently, data management techniques for facilitating sales activities of electronic cash registers and analyzing various data of sales activities have been actively studied. Recently, a fast food store or a happy hour that sells the goods by applying a happy hour (happy hour) is a lot of inconvenience in the sales activity using a conventional electronic cash register. In other words, the conventional electronic cash register has one price information for each item, so when a price change occurs, there is a problem in that the price information for each item (hereinafter referred to as item) must be newly reprogrammed.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a price information inquiry and a price setting method for inquiring desired price information for each item whose price fluctuations are severe.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a price information inquiry and price setting method of an electronic cash register having a memory having a plurality of price tables for each item,

If there is an option for the item input from the keyboard, the price information inquiry process of sequentially displaying the plurality of price information for the input item in response to the input of the moving key and querying the price information;

If there is a key input for setting the displayed price information during the price information inquiry process, the price setting process of setting the displayed price information is characterized in that the response is made.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description, such as specific processing flows, to provide a more general understanding of the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. And a detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram of an electronic cash register according to the present invention. The CPU 2 processes the data of a sales activity by a predetermined program to perform operations of the system, and is controlled by the CPU 2. And a memory 4 for storing the general data generated by the sales activity and a plurality of price tables for each item, and various keys (moving key, setting key, item key, etc.) for performing the operation of the CPU 2. A keyboard 6 for generating key data according to key input and outputting the key data to the CPU 2, and a display apparatus 10 for displaying information on sales activity details on the screen under the control of the CPU 2; ) And a printer 8 which outputs all data of sales activities to the outside under the control of the CPU 2.

2 shows the configuration of a plurality of price tables for each item (item 1, item 2, item 3, ...) according to the present invention and is pre-programmed and stored in the memory 4. In FIG. 2, (2a) to (2c) are price tables for items 1 to 3, respectively, and different prices correspond to numbers 1, 2, ... N. The option also indicates whether or not to apply a price table for each item (item 1, item 2, item 3,…). That is, when the option of the item input from the keyboard 6 is in the yes state, the price can be inquired with reference to the price table for each item.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a control flow according to the present invention. Hereinafter, a control process for inquiring and setting a desired price information when a price change occurs for a specific item will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. First, in the electronic cash register in which the price table for each item is stored in the memory 4 in advance for the item whose price is expected to change, as shown in FIG. 2, the CPU 2 stores the item key from the keyboard 6 in step 20. FIG. Check for input. If there is an item key input for a specific item as a result of the inspection, the CPU 2 proceeds to step 22 to search for an option (that is, an option) for the entered item. If there is no option for the input item (that is, when the option is no), the CPU 2 executes a general sales routine. The general sales routine refers to a series of processes of reprogramming a new price each time there is a price change. On the other hand, if there is an option for the item entered in the search result of step 22, the CPU 2 proceeds to step 24 to read the price information corresponding to the first number of the input item to display on the display device (10). Thereafter, the CPU 2 proceeds to step 26 to check whether there is a move key input from the keyboard 6. The mobile key is assumed to mean a function key for sequentially inquiring prices for each item. If there is a check result movement key input in step 26, the CPU 2 proceeds to step 28 and reads out price information corresponding to the next number of the first number, displays it on the display device 10, and then proceeds to step 30. In step 30, the CPU 2 checks whether there is a setting key input from the keyboard 6, and if there is no setting key input, returns to step 26 to check whether there is a moving key input. It is assumed that the setting key means a function key for setting price information displayed on the display apparatus 10. On the other hand, if there is a check result input key input in step 30, the CPU 2 proceeds to step 32 and sets the price information displayed on the display apparatus 10 as the price of the corresponding item, and then proceeds to step 34. Thereafter, in step 34, the CPU 2 outputs the set price through the printer 8 and ends the above-described price information inquiry and price setting control process. On the other hand, if there is no moving key input in step 26, the CPU 2 proceeds to step 36 to check whether there is a setting key input from the keyboard 6. If there are 36 test result setting key inputs, steps 32 and 34 are sequentially performed to output the set price through the printer 8. On the other hand, if there is no setting key input for a predetermined time elapses as a result of the check in step 36, the CPU 2 terminates the above-described price setting control process.

As described above, the present invention has an advantage of providing convenience of using an electronic cash register by eliminating the inconvenience of having to program new price information for each price change of each item.
