How to register a cash register repeatedly

The present invention relates to a method of repeat registration of a cash register, and more particularly, by storing key codes of previously sold products, when a different customer wants to purchase the same products, a predetermined key is input to perform a sale. The present invention relates to a recurring registration method of a cash register, which can prevent trouble and mistakes caused by recurring registration.

Generally, a cash register refers to a device used to facilitate information management by processing various data accompanying product sales and informing a user of the results. It ranges from point-of-sale information management system (POS System) that can comprehensively manage the distribution economy such as management of goods, customers, employees, market research, and inventory. Hereinafter, in the present specification, the term ECR (Electronic Cash Register), which means an electronic cash register controlled by a microprocessor, is used as a broad concept including a low-end cash register to a POS terminal.

As described above, when ECR sells a product to a customer, it enters an item or amount corresponding to the product, receives an amount corresponding to the sold product through a payment medium such as cash or check, and executes a closing operation. It became.

However, during the sale, the same product may be sold to another customer continuously, such as when another customer purchases the previously sold product. In the conventional case, when a user buys the same product every time, Each time they entered the same key sequence to register the product had to sell. Accordingly, the user may not only be inconvenient to repeat registration in the same key order but also may cause a problem in re-entry.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and stores the key code of the previously sold products and when a different customer wants to purchase the same products by entering a predetermined key to perform the sale by repeating registration Its purpose is to provide a recurring registration method of a cash register that can prevent the hassle and mistakes.

Repeated registration method of the cash register of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of: (a) receiving and registering a product to be sold in the registration mode; (B) sequentially storing the key codes of the goods in a corresponding memory area in the order received in step (a); (C) determining whether a closing command for closing a transaction has been input in the registration mode and performing a closing function when the closing command is input; (D) sequentially storing a keycode corresponding to the closing command and a sign indicating an end in the corresponding memory area; (E) In the registration mode, it is determined whether a command for re-registering the contents registered for sale in step (a) has been input, and when the repetitive registration command is input, the key codes stored in the memory area are sequentially Reading and registering and storing the keycode in the corresponding memory area; And (f) judging whether the keycode read in step (e) is a keycode corresponding to a closing command, and performing a closing function if the read keycode corresponds to a closing command. And storing a sign indicating termination in said memory area.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the repeat registration method 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 repetitive registration method of the present invention is applied. As shown in this figure, the ECR to which the present invention is applied applies the key input unit 20 and the key input unit 20 for generating a mode designation signal and various key codes for money registration according to the received key code. The central processing unit 10 which designates the mode of the ECR and performs various functions in the designated mode, the ROM 30 having the program for operating the system, and the program for implementing the repetitive registration method of the present invention, and the money transaction information. And a RAM 40 storing various data, a display unit 50 for displaying various data processing results and system status according to merchandise sales under the control of the central processing unit 10, and a control unit for the central processing unit 10. It comprises a printer 60 for issuing a receipt and various processing results in a document and a power supply unit 70 for supplying power to the entire system.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a key configuration of a key input unit in FIG. 1. As shown in this figure, the key configuration of the key input unit 20 of the cash register to which the method of the present invention is applied is provided in the mode switch 21 and the ECR used to designate a desired operation mode among various operation modes of the ECR. A group of function keys 23 used to execute a desired function among various functions, an item key group 25 used to designate a desired item, and a number key group used to input a price or a corresponding numeric code of various items It consists of 27. The function key group 23 having the above-described configuration may include a 'repeat' key 23a used when a registration is to be performed according to the stored key sequence and a 'cash' key 23b for closing a transaction. have.

3 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a configuration of a memory for storing a key code input for each sale in the repetitive registration method of the present invention. As shown in this figure, in the memory to which the present invention is applied, the key codes of the corresponding keys are stored in the memory in the order of the keys input on the keyboard of the ECR. For example, if a key is entered in the sequence 1 → 0 → 0 → Item 1 → Cash on the keyboard, the number 1 keycode, number 0 keycode, number 0 keycode, item1 keycode, and cash The key codes of the keys are stored in the memory in the order in which they are entered. At this time, the key code of the 'cash' key 23b is stored, and then an end mark indicating the end point of registration is stored in the memory area. The number of keys entered and stored depends on the size of this memory.

4 is a flowchart for explaining a recurring registration method of the cash register of the present invention. As shown in this figure, the repetitive registration method of the present invention first receives power in step S10, and then proceeds to step S12, where the system and various variables, for example, the 'repeat' key 23a is applied. Initializes a repetition flag or the like set when there is an input of. In step S14, it is determined whether the operation mode of the ECR is a registration mode for registering a product to be sold. As a result of the determination in step S14, if the operation mode of the ECR is not the registration mode, the process proceeds to step S15 to perform a function of the corresponding mode, and if the operation mode of the ECR is the registration mode, step S16. It proceeds and determines whether the repeat flag is set.

If the repetition flag is not set as a result of the determination in step S16, the flow advances to step S18 to read the key code generated through the key input unit 20. Thereafter, in the next step S20, it is determined whether the keycode read in the step S18 is a keycode corresponding to the 'repeat' key 23a. As a result of the determination in step S20, if the keycode read in step S18 is not the keycode corresponding to the "repeat" key 23a, the process proceeds to step S22 and the keycode read in step S18. It is determined whether the key code corresponding to the 'cash' key (23b) to close the transaction.

As a result of the determination in step S22, if the keycode read in step S18 is not the keycode corresponding to the "cash" key 23b, the flow advances to step S24 to determine whether the sale is started. As a result of the determination in step S24, in the case of the start of the sale, the flow advances to step S26 to initialize the key count (counter for storing the key codes to be registered in the order of input) and to store the memory for storing the key codes. Clear it. Thereafter, in step S28, a function corresponding to the key code read in step S18 is performed. In the next step S30, it is determined whether the repetition flag is set. If the repetition flag is not set as a result of the determination in step S30, the flow advances to step S32 to store the key code read in step S18 in the memory area corresponding to the key coefficient. In the next step S34, the key count is increased by one.

As a result of the determination in step S22, when the keycode read in step S18 is a keycode corresponding to the 'cash' key 23b, the process proceeds to step S36 to perform a finishing function, and step S38. Proceeds to whether the repeat flag is set. If the repetition flag is not set as a result of the determination in step S38, the flow advances to step S40 to store the key code corresponding to the "cash" key 23b in the memory area corresponding to the key coefficient. Subsequently, in step S42, the end mark indicating the end of the transaction is stored in the next area in which the key code of the 'cash' key 23b is stored, and the flow proceeds to step S44 to repeat the repetition count (keycode contents are extracted from the memory in sequence). Counter).

As a result of the determination in step S20, if the keycode read in step S18 is a keycode corresponding to the "repeat" key 23a, the flow advances to step S46 to set the repeat flag.

If the repetition flag is set as a result of the determination in step S16, the flow advances to step S48 to read the keycode stored in the memory area corresponding to the repetition coefficient. In the next step S50, the repetition coefficient is increased by one, and the flow proceeds to step S52 to determine whether the key code read in step S48 is an end mark. As a result of the determination in step S52, if the key code read in step S48 is not an end mark, the process proceeds to step S22 and the key code read in step S48 corresponds to the 'cash' key 23b. Determines whether the key code. As a result of the determination in step S22, if the keycode read in step S48 is not the keycode corresponding to the 'cash' key 23b, the function after step S24 is performed, and in step S48 If the read keycode is a keycode corresponding to the 'cash' key 23b, the function after step S36 is performed.

If the key code read in step S52 is an end mark, the flow advances to step S54 to reset the repeat flag.

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

According to the repetitive registration method of the cash register of the present invention as described above, by storing the key code of the previously sold products, when a different customer wants to purchase the same products, a predetermined key is input to perform the sale. There is an effect that can prevent the hassle and mistakes due to repeated registration.
