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

First, FIG. 1 is a system block diagram briefly showing a configuration of a cash register to which the present invention is applicable. As shown in FIG. 1, the cash register processes a control process unit (CPU) 10, which controls the overall operation of the cash register, a customer receipt, an audit paper, and various data under the control of the central processor 10. A printer 20 for issuing the results in a document, a key input unit 30 for generating a mode designation signal and various key codes for money registration operations using keys provided on the keyboard, a program for system operation, and an individual according to the present invention ROM 40 that contains a program that implements various functions of the cash register, including schedule management, RAM 50 that temporarily stores various data generated during the cash register operation, and various data processing results generated during the cash register operation. Under the control of the processing unit 10, power is supplied to each component of the display unit 60 and the cash register which are displayed to the customer or the clerk through an indicator such as a CRT, LCD, and the like. In the case of various peripheral devices connected to a cash register such as a power supply unit 70 and a bar code reader for preserving various data stored in the RAM 50 through power supply by a backup battery and providing other functions required for the cash register operation ( 90).

In addition, FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a key provided in the key input unit 30 of the cash register. In fact, the arrangement, number, and functions of the keys may be changed or added according to the height or convenience of use of the cash register model. As shown in FIG. 2, the keys provided in the key input unit 30 are mode selection switches 32 used to designate a desired mode among various operation modes such as registration, check, settlement, program, return mode of the cash register, The desired function among various functions that can be performed in the cash register, including a personal schedule input key 34a, a personal schedule inquiry key 34b, a SHIFT key 34d, and a confirmation key 34c, which will be separately provided for the satisfactory implementation of the present invention. A function key group 34 in which a plurality of function keys used for selection and execution are collected, an item key group 36 used for designating a sale item, and a number used for inputting a price or a number requiring registration of various items are used. It is divided into the numeric key group 38. Among them, the SHIFT key 34d (hereinafter referred to as a shift key) to be provided separately in the function key group 34 is a key used for switching between two different functions held in a predetermined key. That is, as shown in Fig. 2, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, some keys of the numeric key group 38, the item key group 36, and the function key group 34 are divided into slashes. If each has two functions written in, the shift key 34d switches between the two functions. Thus, the numeric keys 1,2,3,... , 0, etc. by pressing the shift key 34d simultaneously a, b, c,... You can enter Korean consonants, such as.

The personal schedule management method using the cash register of the present invention applicable to a cash register as described above will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3. First, in step S10, a kisscan operation for detecting a signal generated when a key of the key input unit 30 is operated is performed, and in step S12, a personal schedule input key 34a is based on the result of the kisscan operation. ) Is determined. If the personal schedule input key 34a is input as a result of the determination in step S12, the process proceeds to step S14 to receive a personal schedule of the month to be managed by the user by date. At this time, the user inputs a personal schedule according to a predetermined input format configured as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and if necessary, a user inputs a shift key 34d, a corresponding numeric key, an item key, or Hangul input can be performed by simultaneously inputting some function keys. In the step S16 after the execution of the step S14, a confirmation key 34c is inputted to close the input of the personal schedule, and in the subsequent step S18, the personal schedule for one month entered before the operation of the confirmation key 34c is performed.
