The present invention relates to a cash register, and more particularly, to a method for easily searching for information registered in a cash register by using a barcode added to the cash register.

Conventional single-function cash registers or bar code readers employ system-class cash registers in various modes, for example, registration mode for general merchandise sales activities, report mode for checking / calculating sales activities, and items / PLUs required for registration. There is a program mode for storing / retrieving the back and the like, and all information necessary for registration is stored in the program mode among the various modes of the cash register, and the stored contents are retrieved.

In general, in one mode, only the functions corresponding to each mode are performed. If the user wants to know the information of items, PLUs, and other function keys to sell while the user is in the sales mode, There is no way to know. For example, while a seller is selling a specific item, it may be necessary to register during the registration of the sale product, to check the price of the specific item, or to check the information of the specific item why it is not registered. At this time, there is a problem in that information of a specific item cannot be confirmed until the registration mode during product registration is closed. In other words, the registration mode in which the sale product is registered is closed, and the program mode is switched to input specific keys in order to check necessary information.

In the conventional cash register, such inconveniences often occur during use, and if the user can check the desired information even during the registration mode for registering the sale product, the efficiency and convenience of the sales activity may be further improved. .

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems of the prior art, the user can select and confirm the desired information in the registration mode of the cash register so that the user who is inexperienced in using the cash register is inexperienced in the product information of the store. It is to provide a registration information retrieval method of a cash register that can be more efficient and convenient operation for a user.

Features of the registration information retrieval method of the cash register according to the present invention for achieving the above object, the step of determining whether the cash register state is the registration mode, the step of determining whether the registration mode, inputting an item key, Storing the inputted item key information in an arbitrary variable, scanning a barcode, reading a barcode, and patching information corresponding to the read barcode details among the information of the memory for the item key stored in the arbitrary variable And displaying information fetched from the memory.

Hereinafter, one preferred embodiment of the registration information retrieval method of the cash register according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a cash register according to the present invention, which includes a central processing unit 18, a printer unit 11, a liquid crystal display unit 12, a keyboard 13, a RAM 16, and a ROM. It is provided with (17), and all the information required by the cash register is stored in the RAM (16), the RAM is backed up by the battery so that the data can be stored even if the power is cut off. In addition, since the bar code is also used in the present invention, the bar code reader 15 is provided through the interface unit 14 with the central processing unit 18.

2 is a memory map of a memory for storing a specific bar code required for the present invention. Conventionally, the first digit of the bar code is a bar code system that starts with 8, but in the present invention, the bar code system starts with a specific bar code starting from 9 It is distinguished from general product barcode. For example, the bar code corresponding to 9999001 is used as a bar code to retrieve information on the unit price of a specific item. Options, 99998003 is the PLU name, 99998004 is the PLU sales amount,… 9991001 is an option code for function key X, and 9991002 is used as a bar code for retrieving information about a sales information code for function key X.

Figure 3 shows a keyboard of a general cash register, consisting of numeric keys, item keys / PLU keys, closing keys and function keys, Figure 4 shows an example of a bar code required in the present invention, such a bar code table In the prepared state, for example, after pressing the numeric key 1 on the keyboard of FIG. 3 to know the unit price of item 1, the unit price bar code of FIG. 4 can be scanned by a barcode reader so that the unit price of item 1 can be inquired. Referring to FIG. 5, which is a flowchart illustrating an example of searching for information registered to a specific key in the registration mode, the registration information searching process will be described in detail as follows.

In the registration mode, if you want to know the unit price of item 1 during the registration of the sale product, first determine whether the cash register is in the registration mode (S1), and if it is in the registration mode, determine whether the numeric key is input (S2). If is input, the input number is stored in nur (S3), and then a process of determining whether the barcode has been scanned by the non-code reader is performed. If the numeric key is not input, the barcode is scanned by the barcode reader. The process of judging immediately proceeds. The bar code reader determines whether the bar code has been scanned (S4), and if there is no bar code input, it performs the registration function of a general cash register, and if there is a bar code input, it determines whether the first digit of the bar code is 9 by reading the input bar code. (S5). In this case, when the first digit of the barcode is not 9, it is recognized as a normal barcode and performs a general barcode function. When the first digit of the barcode is 9, it is recognized as a specific code of the present invention and inputted on a scan code and a barcode memory map. Compared to the code (S6). Subsequently, it is determined that the input bar code is 9999001 (S7), and if it matches with the bar code, it is a specific bar code that checks the unit price of the item. It is determined whether or not it is in the range of (S8), an error is generated when the range is exceeded, and when the value is within the valid range, for example, nur = 1, the unit price of form 1 is to be checked. By fetching the unit price of the item No. 1 stored in the RAM (S9) and outputting the unit price of the item No. 1 on the display or the printer (S10) to inform the user.

Therefore, according to the present invention described above, in the case of a cash register with a bar code reader, if you want to check the necessary registration information by adding the item / PLU, function keys, the information corresponding to the specific bar code by scanning the specific bar code of the present invention Informing the user of the content has the effect of improving the efficiency of sales.

The above description is only one embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the inventive concept according to the present invention.
