Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a publicity method using the resin of the cash register according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a system block diagram of a cash register to which the publicity method using the resin of the present invention is applied. As shown in the figure, the ECR system to which the method of the present invention is applied has a key code received by kissing the key input unit 20 and the key input unit 20 generating various key codes for mode designation and money registration. The central processing unit 10 for specifying the mode of the ECR and performing various functions in the designated mode, the ROM 30 in which the system operation program is embedded, the sales information table and the deposit and withdrawal details, and the like. RAM 40, a Real Time Clock (RTC) circuit unit 50 serving to provide real time information to the central processing unit 10, and a clock circuit unit 51 providing a conventional clock of a predetermined period to the RTC circuit unit 50. A display unit 60 for displaying various information related to a money transaction or the like under the control of the central processing unit 10, a printer 70 for issuing a document for receiving a customer receipt and various processing results under the control of the central processing unit 10, Drawer drive unit 80 which draws out the cash storage drawer when there is a predetermined key operation, and supplies power to the entire system, and in the event of a power failure, power is supplied by a backup battery to generate power during system processing stored in the RAM 40. And a power supply unit 90 for storing data.

FIG. 2 is a key diagram illustrating an example of the key input unit illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in this figure, the key configuration of the key input unit 20 of the ECR to which the present invention is applied is a mode switch 21 used to designate a desired operation mode among various operation modes of the ECR, and various functions provided in the ECR. A function key group 23 used to execute a desired function among the items, a numeric key group 25 used to input a price or a corresponding numeric code of various items, and an item key group 27 used to designate a desired item. Is done. The function key group 23 is defined as a 'message program' key 23a used for inputting sales information to be printed on a resin issued to a customer, and a key for calculating a total amount of registered products and simultaneously issuing a resin. The subtotal key 23b may be included.

The general operation modes of the ECR include a program mode which is a mode used to change the program contents of various files or tables used in the ECR, a registration mode which registers and processes various transaction information generated at the point of sale, and the RAM 40. There is an inspection mode for checking the transaction information present, a settlement mode for settlement of the above transaction information, and a stop mode.

3 is a flowchart for explaining a process of inputting sales information used in the publicity method using the resin of the present invention. As shown in the figure, first, the operation mode should be switched to the program mode in order to create a sales information message to be printed on a resin issued to a customer and an activation time zone in which each sales information message is to be printed. Determine if the mode is program mode. If it is determined in step S10 that the operation mode is not the program mode, the function of the corresponding mode is performed. If the operation mode is the program mode, the operation proceeds to step S12 to determine whether there is a key input. As a result of the determination in step S12, if there is no key input, it waits for the next key input, and if there is a key input, it proceeds to step S14 to input sales information to be printed on the resin in which the key received in step S12 is issued to the customer. Determine whether the message program key. If the determined key of step S14 is not the message program key, the program mode corresponding to the key input in step S12 is performed. If the input key is the message program key as a result of the determination in step S14, the process proceeds to step S16, in which the sales information message to be printed on the resin issued to the customer in the corresponding message buffer, for example, 30% of dairy products from '15 to 20 '. Enter 'sale'. In a next step S18, the activation time zone or date for which the sales information message input in step S16 is desired to be printed is received. In the next step (S20) it is determined whether the message for all the sales information has been received. When all the sales information messages have been input in step S20, the process proceeds to step S22 to store the information input in steps S16 and S18 in the user program memory area. If all the sales information messages are not received in step S20, steps S16 to S22 are repeated for the remaining sales information messages.

4 is an exemplary diagram of a memory map including a sales information table created after the process of FIG. 3 operates. As shown in this figure, the sales information table is composed of n sales information message areas and a time zone area for inputting a time zone or date for which the sales information message is to be printed.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a public relation method using a resin of the cash register of the present invention. As shown in this figure, first, when a customer purchases a product, sales registration must be performed, so in step S30, it is determined whether the current ECR operation mode is a registration mode. In step S32, the customer receives sales registration for the purchased product, and in step S34, the subtotal key defined on the keyboard is defined as a key for calculating the total amount of the goods registered in step S32 and issuing a receipt. 23b). In step S36, the transaction details (product name, price, total…) and greetings of the goods purchased by the customer are printed on the receipt by the key input in step S34. Subsequently, in a next step S38, the total number of sales information messages of the sales information table is written in the variable 'n', and the variable 'i' representing the current line is initialized to '0'. In the next step S40 it is determined whether the current line is the last line. If the current line is the last line as a result of the determination in step S40, since a message for all sales information is printed, the process proceeds to step S41 to perform a general ECR function. If it is determined in step S40 that the current line is not the last line, the process proceeds to step S42 to determine whether the current time belongs to the activation time zone of the message of the current line. If it is determined in step S42 that the current time belongs to the active time zone of the message, the process proceeds to step S44 to print the message of the current line on the resin and the process proceeds to step S46 to increase the current line by 1 and to step S40. To step S46 are repeated. If it is determined in step S42 that the current time does not belong to the activation time zone of the message, the process proceeds to step S46 to increase the current line by one and repeat steps S40 to S46.

The public relations method using the cash register of the cash register of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the present invention can be modified in various ways within the scope of the technical idea.

According to the publicity method using the cash register of the cash register according to the present invention as described above, by printing specific sales information for each hour, daily or product on the resin issued to the customer to efficiently inform the customer the sales information It has an effect.
