Description

How to Withhold Registration of Cash Registers

The present invention relates to a method for holding a cash register, and more particularly, to register a transaction history of another customer while the transaction is withheld by allowing the registered transaction to be suspended several times in succession and resuming at a suitable time. The present invention relates to a method of holding a registration of a cash register in which it can be carried out.

In general, a cash register refers to a device used to facilitate information management by processing various data accompanying product sales and informing a user of a result. It ranges from point of sales system to comprehensively manage the distribution economy such as research. Hereinafter, in the present specification, the term Electronic Cash Register (ECR) controlled by a microprocessor is used as a broad concept including low-end cash registers to POS terminals.

In such a conventional cash register, when registering a money transaction in accordance with a customer's purchase of a product, the total amount of the purchased product is received by inputting the item name, quantity and price of the product purchased by the customer in the registration mode, and the amount of payment of the customer. In addition, after calculating the customer's payment amount and change amount, the registration is closed and the data on sales of the product is printed on the receipt.

However, if a customer wants to purchase an additional product when registering a transaction in accordance with a purchase of a product in a conventional cash register, the cash register that has been in progress is abandoned, and the customer registers the product that he / she wants to purchase additionally and then registers the money again from the beginning Since there is a need to register the contents of the same sales registration twice at predetermined time intervals, there is a problem in that the time and manpower required for registration of product sales are wasted.

In addition, in the same case as described above, if the customer waits until the registration is completed after the additional purchase of the product without abandoning the ongoing money registration, other customers who are waiting for the sale registration have to wait for a long time. There was a problem that money transactions with customers were not performed smoothly.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to suspend a registered money transaction a plurality of times consecutively and to resume each held money transaction in a timely manner, thereby facilitating the smooth operation of the money transaction. It is to provide a method of holding a registration of a cash register so that it can be achieved.

In order to achieve the above object, the method for holding a registration of a cash register according to the present invention comprises the steps of: (a) determining whether there is a willingness to withhold a money transaction registration in a registration mode; (B) if it is determined that the transaction transaction registration is to be withheld once as a result of the step (a), receiving a number of a corresponding buffer for storing the transaction details of the transaction to be withheld; (C) storing the money transaction details in the holding buffer of the number input in step (c) and performing new money transaction registration; (D) determining whether there is a willingness to resume a previously suspended financial transaction registration during the financial transaction registration of step (c); (E) receiving a number of a pending buffer in which the pending money transaction details are stored if it is determined that the intention of resuming the pending money transaction registration is determined as a result of the step (d); (F) reading the financial transaction details stored in the holding buffer corresponding to the number entered in step (e), performing additional money transaction registration, and then printing and issuing the transaction details on receipts when the transaction is completed. It is done by

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the configuration and operation and effect according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a system block diagram showing a configuration of an ECR system to which the present invention is applicable. As shown in FIG. 1, the ECR system for implementing the present invention kisses the key input unit 20 and the key input unit 20 that generate various key codes for mode designation and money registration. CPU 10 according to the operation mode of the cash register according to the operation specified in the designated mode, RAM 40 for storing a variety of data generated during the program or transaction set by the user, the system Under the control of the ROM 30 for storing the program for operation, the printer 50 for issuing documents for customer receipts and various processing results under the control of the central processing unit 10, and various kinds of transactions related to the transaction under the control of the central processing unit 10. It is provided with a display unit 60 for displaying information and a power supply 70 for supplying the system driving power to the entire cash register and power supply by the backup battery in the event of power failure.

On the other hand, Figure 2 is a key configuration diagram of the key input unit 20 that can be applied to the cash register registration holding method according to the present invention, in reality, the number of arrangements and the number (function) according to the height of the model or ease of use It will be changed or added. As shown in Fig. 2, the key configuration of the key input unit 20 to which the present invention can be applied is a mode switch 21 used to designate a desired operation mode among various operation modes of the ECR, and the amount or correspondence of various items. Numeric key group (27) used to input the numeric code, etc., item key group (25) used to specify the desired item, and function key group used to execute the desired function among various functions provided in the ECR. It can be divided into (23).

The function key group 23 described above is used to suspend a monetary transaction in registration and to resume registration of a pending transaction and a 'hold transaction' key 23a used to prepare for another customer's monetary registration. The transaction resume key 23b may be included.

On the other hand, the general operation modes of the ECR include a program mode, which is a mode used to change the program contents of various files and tables used in the ECR, and a registration mode that registers and processes various transaction information generated at the point of sale. There are modes, settlement mode and stop mode.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for holding a registration of a cash register according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the method for holding a cash register according to the present invention first requires that the current cash register be switched to a registration mode in order to withhold the registration at the time of registering a cash transaction. It is determined whether the operation mode is the registration mode. If the operation mode of the current cash register is not the registration mode as a result of the determination in step S10, the function of the corresponding mode is performed in step S11, and if the operation mode of the current cash register is the registration mode, step S12. Proceed to

In step S12, it is determined whether there is an input of the 'resume resumption' key 23b in performing the money registration operation for inputting / outputting the transaction details of any customer. As a result of the determination of step S12, if the 'restart transaction' key 23b is not input, step S18 or below to be described later is performed, and if the 'restart transaction' key 23b is entered, step S14. Will be performed.

At this time, in step S14, as the 'restart transaction' key 23b is input in step S12, the number of the pending buffer in which the previous registration contents of the customer who wants to resume the transaction is stored is input. This corresponds to the number of the pending buffer entered at the time the customer's registration was withheld. When the number of the holding buffer in which the reserved contents are held in step S14 is input, in step S16, the registration contents stored in the holding buffer of the corresponding number are printed on the resin.

In addition, in step S18, when the customer wants to purchase a product in addition to the pending registration details, the financial transaction registration is additionally performed, which means that the 'resume resumption' key 23b is determined as the result of the step S12. If it is not entered, it is consistent with the process for registering the customer's purchase history.

On the other hand, in step (S20) to determine whether or not to enter the 'trade pending' key (23a) in order to determine whether you want to withhold on the basis of the additional purchase of goods without closing the current registered transaction history when the customer registers the financial transaction Done. In this case, when the 'transaction pending' key 23a is input, in step S22, the number of the holding buffer for storing the transaction details registered in the step S18 is received. In the next step (S24) stores the transaction history registered in the holding buffer of the number entered in the step (S22) and repeat the step (S12) or less to register the money transaction registration of the next customer with the customer who is pending registration It can be done separately.

In addition, in the case where the 'transaction pending' key 23a is not input as a result of the determination in step S20, it is determined whether a subtotal key or a cash key is input in order to end the transaction details registered so far in step S30. It is judged whether the transaction is terminated by judging. At this time, if it is determined that the transaction is not finished, the step S18 or below is performed to continue the money registration process.

If it is determined that the transaction is ended as a result of the step (S30), the contents registered up to now in the step (S32) is printed on the resin and then the receipt is issued in the step (S34). In addition, in step S36, once the transaction is withheld, the pending buffer of the corresponding number in which the money registration data for which registration was completed is stored is cleared and the money registration operation is terminated.

The term 'step' used in the detailed description of the present invention reveals that the term 'step' may not be semantically consistent with the term 'step' used in the claims.

The method for holding a registration of a cash register according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be variously modified and implemented within the range permitted by the technical idea.

As described above, according to the registration hold method of the cash register according to the present invention, the transaction of details of another customer can be registered while the transaction of money of any customer is suspended by temporarily suspending the registered transaction of money and then resuming it at an appropriate time. By doing so, it is possible to conduct a quick money transaction for a large number of customers.

In addition, according to the method for holding a cash register according to the present invention, the number of cash transactions being registered may be withheld not only once but also for a plurality of customers in succession, and then each of the plurality of cash transactions withheld at a suitable time may be resumed. As a result, more effective money transactions can be obtained.
