Description

Multi-function force device {POS APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a force device, and more particularly, to a multifunction force device capable of performing mobile settlement, point accumulation, and the like in a single device in addition to a unique work of a force device.

The Point Of Sale device is a system that immediately acquires sales-related data at the time and place where the goods are sold. It is used for order reception, price calculation, card settlement, inventory adjustment, It is a device that takes all necessary measures at once.

For this purpose, the force device includes a terminal body, which is provided with a keyboard or a card reader as an input device, performs arithmetic operation of data input from the input device and outputs the resultant data so as to be able to be displayed, .

In addition to the above-mentioned unique tasks, the POS device can perform point accumulation and mobile payment (hereinafter, referred to as 'expansion service') through NFC or barcode. In this case, A bar code system composed of codes (or mobile phone numbers), or an NFC chip.

8 is a device configuration diagram of a conventional force device configured to perform an expansion service. As shown in FIG. 8, the conventional force device has to use a peripheral device such as an NFC reader or a barcode scanner in order to perform expansion work. However, the peripheral device has to be connected to the force device through a wired line, i.e., a cable, so that the periphery of the force device is not arranged in a plurality of cable strands and is cluttered, which hinders work environment and aesthetic appearance.

In addition, in order to carry out the task of the conventional force device, the clerk must receive the card or the electronic terminal (smart phone, tablet PC, etc.) from the customer. At this time, the expensive mobile phone is dropped, There was also a problem to be reluctant.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a mobile terminal that does not connect a peripheral device to a force device, but performs work such as point accumulation through an NFC or a barcode and mobile payment using only one force device And to provide a multi-

Another object of the present invention is to provide a multifunction POS device capable of allowing a customer to easily carry out tasks such as point accumulation or mobile payment, and to intuitively recognize procedures for this.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a force device including a monitor and a stand for supporting the monitor, wherein the stand includes a front portion on which the monitor is mounted and on which a first through hole is formed; A rear portion opposed to the front portion and having a second through-hole; A support for supporting the front portion and the rear portion; And an NFC reader or a bar code reader provided between the supporting part and the through-hole, wherein the through-hole is communicated from the first through-hole of the front part to the second through-hole of the rear part. .

According to a preferred embodiment, the multifunction force device of the present invention further includes a partition wall defining an inner wall surface of the through-hole, the support portion comprising: a top surface portion; A lower surface portion facing the upper surface portion; And at least one side portion connecting the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion in a height direction, wherein the NFC reader or the bar code reader is mounted between the lower surface portion (or the upper surface portion) and the partition.

The multifunction POS device according to the present invention can realize various effects by utilizing the stand for supporting the monitor as follows.

(1) Unlike the conventional force device in which a separate peripheral device such as an NFC reader or a barcode reader was required to be connected to the force device, the force device of the present invention can perform NFC communication and barcode scanning with one force device, Further, unlike the conventional force device, a plurality of cable strands are not cluttered around the device, and the appearance can be finely finished.

(2) NFC communication or barcode recognition is completed only by inserting the electronic terminal possessed by the customer into the penetration path, so that the customer can easily carry out tasks such as point accumulation and mobile payment, and intuitively There is an effect that can be induced to recognize.

(3) If the customer can not proceed with payment or points accumulation due to lack of understanding, the clerk can locate the customer's electronic terminal directly through the first through hole, So that it is possible to provide convenience to be completed.
