3 is a flowchart illustrating a method in which the electronic cash register configured as described above outputs the sales information as voice. The flow of FIG. 3 starts when a user inputs a code or PLU of an article through the keyboard 28 for registration in the case where the electronic cash register is in the registration mode. As described above, when the code PLU or the like of the article is input from the keyboard 28, the controller 10 performs step 32. In step 32, the controller 10 registers an article corresponding to the input article code or PLU. When the registration is completed, the controller 10 performs step 34. In step (34), the controller 10 searches for a key input of the subtotal key. The subtotal key is a key provided in the keyboard 28. When the clerk inputs the registration of the article, the electronic cash register calculates a subtotal of the registered article and issues a receipt. If there is no key input of the subtotal key, the control unit 10 performs step (32) if there is no key input of the subtotal key.

In step (36), the controller 10 adds up all the amounts of the registered items to calculate the subtotal. When the addition is completed, the controller 10 performs step 38. In step (38), the controller 10 provides the sub-total voice information for outputting the sub-total as voice to the voice controller 22. The subtotal voice information is subtotal XXX won. Is voice information for outputting voice. XXX is the subtotal. The voice controller 22 receives the subtotal voice information, converts the voice information into a voice signal, and provides the voice signal to the speaker 24. The speaker 24 outputs voice according to the voice signal. The voice output at this time is XXX won. to be.

When the subtotal is output as described above, the clerk inputs the cash key when the consumer pays the subtotal in cash and the credit key when the credit card is used.

When the voice output is completed, the controller 10 performs step 40. In step 40, the controller 10 searches for the presence of a cash key input. At this time, the controller 10 performs step 42 if there is a cash key input, and performs step 52 if there is no cash key input.

The clerk inputs a cash key when the consumer pays in cash, and inputs cash received from the consumer.

In step 42, the controller 10 receives the received cash information from the keyboard 28. When the input of the cash information is finished, the controller 10 performs step 44. In step 44, the controller 10 provides the voice controller 22 with cash voice information for outputting the received cash as voice. The above cash voice information has received cash YYY. Is voice information for outputting voice. In this case, the YYY is cash received from the consumer. The voice controller 22 receives the cash voice information, converts the voice voice information into a voice signal, and provides the same to the speaker 24. The speaker 24 outputs voice according to the voice signal. The voice that came out at this time received cash YYY. to be.

By voice outputting the received cash, the consumer can conveniently check whether the clerk correctly keyed in the amount he gave to the clerk.

When the cash voice output is terminated, the controller 10 performs step 46. In step 46, the controller 10 calculates a balance by subtracting a subtotal from the cash. When the calculation of the balance is completed, the controller 10 performs step 48. In step (48), the controller 10 provides the balance controller voice information to the voice controller 24 to output the balance as voice. The balance voice information above is ZZZ won. Is voice information for outputting voice. The ZZZ is then the change money to return to the consumer. The voice controller 22 receives the balance voice information, converts the remaining voice information into a voice signal, and provides the same to the speaker 24. The speaker 24 outputs voice according to the voice signal. At this time, the output voice is ZZZ won. to be.

When the voice output ends, the controller 10 performs step 50. In step 50, the controller 10 provides the printer 16 with print data for printing the sold item information, the balance and the change. The printer 16 performs printing according to the print data, and the receipt shown in FIG. 1 shows an example of the printed matter.

Meanwhile, in step 52, the controller 10 searches whether there is a credit key input. At this time, the controller 10 performs step (54) if the credit key is input, and performs step (40) if the credit key is not input. In step 54, the controller 10 inputs information for outputting a credit card voice to the voice controller 22. FIG. The credit card voice is given a credit card. The voice controller 22 converts the credit card voice information into a voice signal and transmits the voice signal to the speaker 24. The speaker 24 outputs voice according to the voice signal.
