The present invention includes a plurality of selection keys provided in correspondence with a plurality of acceptance items, and operates the selection keys to designate a predetermined item and to register the item by inserting a card into the card reader. It relates to a card-type registration device.

Such a registration device is used in various fields such as a menu registration device and a time recorder in a restaurant system. For example, as a card type time recorder, the thing of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 60-181993 is known. Dong-Abo's time recorder is an ID card reader that reads an ID card that records data identifying each worker, and a work classification key that is an item selection key. By operating the work classification key according to the above method and inserting an ID card to be smelted into the ID card reader, an ID code for the worker is registered.

Also, it is known that a card-type menu registration device is used in a restaurant system that does not use post-payment currency. This registration apparatus has a selection key corresponding to a plurality of menus, and operates the selection key corresponding to the menu purchased by the user, and at the same time, inputs the own ID card to the ID card reader, thereby inserting the ID code and the selected menu. It is configured to register an item with respect to.

Thus, such a registration device cannot cancel the registration itself in the case of canceling registration. Therefore, in cancellation processing, it is common to create and register negative data which can be canceled in a later aggregation operation as cancellation data. However, there was a problem that when the input of the item to cancel in the cancellation processing is wrong, the registration data is wrong and the aggregation is incorrect.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a card registration apparatus that maintains up-to-date registration data, displays the item in the cancellation processing, and registers the cancellation data while the canceler confirms the contents and confirms the cancellation. .

In order to solve the above problems, the registration apparatus of the present invention provides a corresponding indicator in response to an operation of a plurality of indicators and corresponding selection keys installed corresponding to each item so that the posting item designated by the registrant can be identified. Display control means for stopping the drive of the indicator at the same time as the registration process is terminated, and storing means for storing the last registered item, and a cancel key for operating when canceling registration and operation of the cancel key. In response to this, the above-described storage means drives the above-mentioned indicator corresponding to the stored item, and also has cancellation control means for registering the cancellation data for the item by the card input again.

After the user of the registration apparatus designates an item to be registered by the operation of the selection key, a card for identifying an individual is put into the card reader.

As a result, the registration apparatus registers data relating to the item and stores the item registered in the storage means. At this time, the display control means drives the corresponding indicator in response to the selection operation, and stops driving the indicator by the end of the registration process.

In order to cancel this registration data in this way, when the cancel key is operated, the cancel control means operates to drive the above-mentioned indicator corresponding to the item stored in the storage means, and at the same time, to confirm the item by canceling processing. Register the cancellation data.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in the case of a card-type registration device used in a restaurant system.

This restaurant system is operated by a self-service method that does not use money. When a user receives a favorite from the dishes placed side by side at the counter, the payment is performed by registering the registration with a registration device.

If the same card is inserted two times in succession without operating the continuous input key 12 and the continuous input key 12, a buzzer that signals a warning error 13 and the input card with a different sound respectively indicate that the input card is valid or invalid. A buzzer 14 is provided. The buzzer 14 also emits an alarm even when the same card is input twice in a row without operating the continuous input key 12.

The kitchen side 5 is provided with an out-of-order setting key 15 for setting a menu label 6B out of stock for each menu to be registered, and at the same time, an OK indicator 17, such as the hospitality side 4, is installed. (NG) indicator 18 and error lamp 19 buzzer 38 are provided. Again, the kitchen side 5 is provided with a total sold-out setting key 20 for setting all the menus out of stock at once and a cancel key 21 operated when the registration data is canceled.

As shown in FIG. 2, the customer side 4 and the kitchen side 5 are connected by a serial communication line 22, and in the restaurant where there is a distance between the seat and the kitchen room, the customer side 4 and the kitchen It is also possible to arrange the side 5 separately.

The serving side 4 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 24 which executes a control operation by a program, a ROM 25, a RAM 26, and an I which store a program for this operation. / O interface 27 and communication interface 28, the I / O interface 27 has an ID card reader 29, key input device 30, indicator drive circuit 31 and buzzer 14 Is connected to. The ID card reader 29 is a manual scan type card reader, which reads card data recorded in the ID card inserted into the traveling groove 9 and outputs the card data to the central processing unit 24.

The key input device 3 includes five selection keys 7 and combustion input keys 12, and the information of the "operation" or "non-operation" of these keys is stored in one bit of "1" or "0". As a result, the 6-bit data displayed for each key is output to the central processing unit 24. The indicator drive circuit 31 includes the indicator 8 for each menu, the OK indicator 10 and the engine NG 11 based on the customer-side display data introduced from the central processing unit 24. And controlling the driving of the error lamp 13. This hospitality side display data is displayed with one indicator "1" or "0" for "indicator" or "turbulence" for one indicator. In addition, the communication interface 28 is connected with a line driving circuit 33 for driving data by driving the dedicated circuit 2.

At least three types of storage areas are formed in the RAM 26 as shown in FIG. The storage areas 26a and 26b respectively store the menu registered at the latest and the card data recorded in the card inserted at that time. Each bit of the 5-bit storage area 26c corresponds to five types of menus, and stores "sold out" or "out of stock" information as one bit "1" or "0" for each menu. will be.

The kitchen side 5 includes a central processing unit (CUP) 34 that executes a control operation by a program, a ROM (ROM 35) that stores a program for this operation, and an I / O interface 36. Thus, the I / O interface 36 is connected with a key input device 37, a buzzer 38, and an indicator drive circuit 39. The key input device 37 has five sold-out setting keys 15 ), And the total sold-out setting key 20 and the cancel key 21, and the information "operation" or "non-operation" of these keys is displayed for each key by one bit "1" or "0". 7 bits of key operation data are outputted to the central processing unit 34.

The indicator drive circuit 39 includes five indicators 16, OK indicator 17, engine NG 18 and error lamp based on the kitchen side display data introduced from the central processing unit 34. (19) to drive. This kitchen side display data displays the information of "lighting" or "lighting off" by one bit of "1" or "0" for one indicator.

Thus, the central processing unit 24 on the reception side and the central processing unit 34 on the kitchen side transmit and receive data by polling the central processing unit 24 to perform central processing from the central processing unit 34. The kitchen side display data is transmitted to the apparatus 24. In order to set out of stock of the menu, the manager of the registration device operates the sold-out setting key 15 corresponding to this menu or the all-out of stock setting key 20. As a result, the key operation data corresponding to the operation of these sold-out setting keys is input to the central processing unit 34, and thus the key operation data is transmitted to the central processing unit 24 in response to a request from the central processing unit 24. . Thus, when the key operation data is input, the central processing unit 24 displays five bits of "sold out" or "non-sold out" information of the menu as one bit "1" or "0" according to the operation of the sold out setting key. Out of stock setting data is created and stored in the storage area 26c of the RAM 26.

When the card is inserted, the central processing unit 24 determines which of the OK indicator 17 and the engine NG 18 error lamp 19 is based on the data recorded in the card. The kitchen side display data indicating "1" in the corresponding bit is transmitted to the central processing unit 34 for the dot.

In addition, when the minimum key 21 is operated, the central processing unit 34 transmits the key operation data indicating "1" in the bit corresponding to the minimum key 21 in response to a request from the central processing unit 24.

As shown in FIG. 4, the aggregator 3 has a central processing unit 40 that executes a control operation by a program, and has a ROM that stores a program for operation in the central processing unit 40. ROM (41) RAM (42) Communication interface (43) The clock circuit (44) and the magnetic disk device (45) are connected, and the communication interface (43) drives a dedicated circuit (2) for communication. The circuit drive circuit 53 is connected to this circuit. Thus, the central processing unit 40 performs data transfer processing with the registration terminal 1 via the circuit drive circuit 53 based on the program stored in the ROM 41, and the magnetic disk device having various files. Control of (45) is performed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the magnetic disk device 45 is provided with a card file 46, a management file 47, and a sales registration file 48. As shown in FIG. The card file 46 has four types of storage areas A1 to A4. ID codes, company codes, department codes, and ID codes recorded in the cards owned by each user of the restaurant are provided. Is housed. The management file 47 has an area M1 for storing menu codes for each menu of this restaurant and an area M2 for storing a selling price. Thus, the sales registration file 48 has the menu code storage area F1 ID code storage area F2 sales price storage area F3 terminal code storage area F4 sales time data storage area F5.

When the aggregator 3 receives the card full inquiry from the registration terminal 1, the aggregator 3 retrieves the card from the card file 46 of the magnetic disk device 45, creates a full text displaying the result, and makes a query. Is transmitted to the registration terminal (1). When the counting machine 3 receives a transaction message from the registration terminal 1, even if there is a sale, the counting device 3 writes the various transaction data displayed on the message in the sales registration file 48, and at the same time, the clock circuit. The time data displayed in (44) is written in the sales registration file 48, but the sales price for the menu, whether or not there is a sale, is read out from the one stored in the management file 47, and the sales registration file 48 Fill in

The operation of the menu registration process and the registration cancellation process in the card-type registration device of the above-described configuration will be described.

6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the deregistration process performed by the central processing unit 24 on the service-side side in accordance with the program stored in the ROM (ROM) 25.

First, in step S1, the central processing unit 24 determines whether the selection key 7, the continuous input key 12, and the cancel key 21 have been operated. The determination of whether the selection key 7 and the continuous input key 12 have been operated is performed based on the key operation data sent from the input device 30.

The determination of whether the cancel key 21 has been operated is performed based on the key operation data transmitted by the central processing unit 34. Thus, when the selection key 7 is operated, the process proceeds to step S3.

[Registration Processing]

In step S3, it is determined whether or not the selected menu is out of stock based on the out of stock setting data stored in the RAM 26 in advance. Thus, if out of stock, the process returns to the process of step S1, but if not, the process proceeds to the process of step S4.

In this step S4, the customer-side display data indicating the lighting of the indicator 8 corresponding to the selected menu is output to the indicator driving circuit 31. The same customer-side display data is also sent to the central processing unit 34, thereby displaying menus selected on the customer-side and kitchen-side, respectively.

Thus, when the ID card is inserted into the ID card reader 29 in the next step S5, the flow advances to step S6. In this step S6, card data read by the card reader 29 and card data stored in the storage area 26b of the RAM 26 are inquired, so that this card is inserted last time. The determination is made as to whether they are the same, and when it is not the same card, the process proceeds to step S8.

In this step S8, the central processing unit 24 transmits the data recorded in the card put into the card reader 29 to the counting machine 3. When the aggregator 3 receives such a full card inquiry, the registration terminal retrieves the card from the card file 46 of the magnetic disk device 45 and prepares a full text that displays the result. It transmits to the central processing unit 24 of (1). As a result, the central processing unit 24 determines whether the card is an effective card on the basis of the determination result of the card displayed by the counting machine 3 in step S9.

Thus, if it is determined that the card is an effective card, the process of step S10 is performed, and the central processing unit 24 controls the OK indicator 10 and the buzzer 14 to notify that the input card is valid. In this step, the central processing unit 24 transmits the kitchen side display data indicating the lighting of the OK indicator 17 on the kitchen side to the central processing unit 34.

As a result, the central processing unit 34 drives the OK pointer 17 and the buzzer 38, so that the manager on the kitchen side checks that the effective card is fed and registration is appropriate.

In the next step S11, the customer-side display data indicating the extinguishing of the indicator 8 corresponding to the selected menu is output to the indicator driving circuit 31. FIG. Thus, the indicator 8 on the hospitality side goes out, but the indicator 16 on the kitchen side continues to display the menu selected by the customer.

Thus, since the indicator 16 on the kitchen side continues to light until the next selection key is operated, it is easy for the kitchen manager to confirm whether or not to sit down to take out dishes other than the menu selected by the customer.

In the next step S12, the central processing unit 24 transmits a transcoding message indicating the ID card recorded in this code and the code corresponding to the selected menu to the aggregator 3 and at the same time, the menu code at this time. And card data are stored in the storage areas 26a and 26b of the RAM 26, respectively. Thus, the aggregator 3, upon receiving such a transac- tion message, has registered the ID code and menu code indicated on the message and the time signal and the transmission message at the time indicated by the clock circuit 44 at that time. The sales price and the sales price for the menu, whether or not the sales are stored in the terminal code of (1) and the management file 47, are written in the sales registration file 48 as sales data. When the central processing unit 24 transmits the full message of a transaction, it resets the continuous input flag in the next step S13, and returns to the processing of step S1.

On the other hand, if the determination result of the card displayed on the counting machine 3 indicates that the card is invalid, the process proceeds to step S14, where the central processing unit 24 carries out the engine NG indicator 11 and the buzzer 14; Control is made to notify the invalidity of the input card.

In this step, the central processing unit 24 transmits the kitchen side display data indicating the lighting of the engine NG indicator 18 on the kitchen side to the central processing unit 34.

As a result, the central processing unit 34 drives the engine NG indicator 18 and the buzzer 38, so that the manager on the kitchen side can confirm that no valid card is inserted. Thus, the central processing unit 24 resets the continuous input flag at the next step S16 and returns to the processing at step S1.

[Registration Process at Continuous Input]

If it is determined that the key operated in step S2 is the continuous input key 12, the central processing unit 24 proceeds to the processing of step S17, sets the continuous input flag, and returns to the processing of step S1. In operation of the selection key 7, if a card is inserted, and it is determined in step S6 that the card is the same card as the card inserted last time, the central processing unit 24 proceeds to the processing of step S7. .

In step S7, it is determined whether or not the continuous input flag is set, and when it is set, the process from step S9 is performed. Therefore, when purchasing a dish after purchasing a dish by inputting the selection key 7 and the card, the same customer operates a plurality of dishes by operating the continuous input key 12 prior to the operation of the selection key each time. You can purchase it continuously.

However, if the continuous input flag is not set, the processing of the central processing unit 24 proceeds to step S14. Therefore, if the same card group is inserted twice in a row without operating the continuous feeding key 12, the card inserted at the second time is invalidated and processed. However, this occurs when the same card is inserted continuously and wrongly. It is effective to prevent registration.

That is, when the card is inserted into the card reader 29, the OK indicator turns on when the card is valid, but at this time, there is a slight interval until the OK indicator is driven. It may be mistaken that ard input was inadequate and may inject cad again. For this reason, if the continuous input key 12 is not operated, the second card inserted is invalidated and the double registration can be reliably prevented.

[Cancel processing]

If there is a mistake in the registration of the customer, the manager of the kitchen side prompts the customer to reinsert the card and operates the cancel key 21 at the same time. Therefore, if it is determined that the key operated in step S2 is the cancel key 21, the central processing unit 24 proceeds to the processing of step S20.

In this step S20, the central processing unit 24 reads the menu code selected from the last sales stored in the storage area 26a of the RAM 26, and lights up the indicator 8 corresponding to this menu. The customer-side display data for displaying is output to the indicator driving circuit 31.

The indicator 8 on the hospitality side once turned off by this turns on again by operation of the cancel key 21. In addition, since the indicator 16 on the kitchen side continues to turn on the previous sales until the next selection key is operated, the indicators on the hospitality side and the kitchen side display the same contents again by the operation of the cancel key 21. do.

The customer confirms an error by turning on the indicator 8 and inserts the card. However, if the ID card is inserted into the ID card reader 29 in step S21, the processing proceeds to step S23. In this step S22, the card reader 29 retrieves the card data and the card data stored in the storage area 26b of the RAM (RAM) 26. This card is the same as the card inserted last time. If it is the same card, it progresses to step S23.

In this step S23, the central processing unit 24 controls the OK indicator 10 and the buzzer 14 to notify that the input card is valid. In this step, the central processing unit 24 transmits the kitchen side display data indicating the lighting of the OK indicator 17 on the kitchen side to the central processing unit 34. As a result, the central processing unit 34 drives the OK indicator 17 and the buzzer 38, so that the kitchen manager can confirm that the effective card is inserted. Next, in step S24, the customer-side display data indicating the extinguishing of the indicator 8 corresponding to the selected menu is output to the indicator driving circuit 31. Thus, in the next step S25, the cancel data, which is negative data for canceling the sales data of the menu selected last time, is generated and sent to the aggregator 3 to return to the process of step S1.

Thus, if the injected card is different from the one put in the previous time, it is processed in step S26, and the central processing unit 24 controls the engine NG indicator 18 and the buzzer 38 to notify the invalidity of the inserted card. In this step, the central processing unit 24 transmits the kitchen side display data indicating the lighting of the engine NG indicator 18 on the kitchen side to the central processing unit 34. As a result, the central processing unit 34 drives the engine NG indicator 18 and the buzzer 38, so that the kitchen manager can confirm that no valid card is inserted.

Thus, in the next step S27, the customer-side display data for indicating that the indicator 8 that is lit is turned off is output to the indicator drive circuit 31, and then the processing returns to the process of step S1.

The sales data filed in the counting machine 3 as described above is transferred to the computer 55 off-line by the delivery of the disk 56. Thus, the computer 55 processes the sales data and creates a credit file necessary for subsequent claim processing.

Therefore, if the sales data transmitted to the computer 55 contains the cancellation data, the sales data registered by the computer 55 will be canceled by the data processing of the computer 55 and the sales data will be canceled. .
