It is stored in the porter 44's notifier memory (queue).
- an empty sales statement table is created in the memory of the storage device 43 in the initialization process. In the inspection mode, this sales statement table functions as an inspection table as described below. The contents of the sales statement table are displayed on the display device 48.
- step S1 If there is product identification code data in the buffer memory of the communication port 44, one product identification code IDi is taken out of the buffer memory by, for example, FIFO, and the process proceeds to step S2. Proceed to.
- step S2 If this product identification code IDi is entered in the sales statement table, if not, proceed to step S3, otherwise proceed to step S4.
- This product identification code IDi is used as a search key to refer to the product table (product T) to obtain the product name, set flag F, and unit price of the product identification code IDi, and to clarify these. Fill in the detailed table.
- step S5 If the set flag F corresponding to the product identification code IDi is “1”, that is, a set product, the process proceeds to step S6, otherwise returns to step S1.
- each individual product j (an individual product having a different product identification code) constituting the set product of this product identification code IDi is referred to.
- the product identification code IDj and the number of stored items nj of the product j) are obtained, and the processes in steps S2 and S3 are performed for the product identification code of each individual product.
- step S8 If the total key of the input device 47 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S10, and if not, the process proceeds to step S9.
- step S9 If there is a read end code in the communication port 44, the process proceeds to step S10; otherwise, the process returns to step S1.
- the control circuit 33 determines that the set time has elapsed before the reading of the stored information from the electronic tag and before the next reading of the stored information from the electronic tag, the communication port 34 is transmitted from the control circuit 33 to the communication port 34. The data is supplied to the communication port 44 through the buffer memory and written into the buffer memory.
- the processor 41 measures the continuous processing time of the repetition loop of steps Sl, S8 and S9 as the elapsed time and determines the read end according to a program. It may be.
- steps S1 to S7 (the loop processing of steps Sl, S8, and S9 is performed, and the processing from step SI to step S2 is performed until reading of all the product identification codes of the electronic tags 20, 201 to 20 ⁇ is completed. (Including the case of proceeding) is repeated. As a result, the sales specification table becomes as shown in Fig. 6 (C).

- FIG. 8A shows a product hierarchy structure according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
- the present invention can also be applied to a collective product having a multi-layer structure, and in this example, the collective product has three levels of power.
- the uppermost level 60 indicates that the set product with the product identification code ID1 includes three individual products with the product identification code ID2 and two individual products with the product identification code ID3.
- the middle hierarchy 61 indicates that the collective product with the product identification code ID3 includes one individual product with the product identification code ID 4 and three individual products with the product identification code ID5.
- the lowermost layer 62 indicates that the set product with the product identification code ID4 includes two individual products with the product identification code ID6.
- the product with the product identification code ID3 is an individual product of the hierarchy 60 and a collective product of the hierarchy 61

- the collective product table of Fig. 4 (B) is easy to see when displayed, but there are many data of 0. Therefore, the storage capacity of the table increases. Therefore, we use a set product table with a list structure as shown in Fig. 8 (B).
- the No. is a unique number, for example, a serial number, and is automatically entered by the DBMS (database management system) when adding a record. No. does not include 0.
- the pointer indicates the number of the next record following the record. If the pointer is 0, it indicates that there are no more individual products in this layer.
- the product table uses a pointer indicating No in the collective product table instead of the collective flag F in Fig. 4 (A), and a pointer for individual products. Set to 0.
- a part of the product table corresponding to Fig. 8 (B) is as follows.
- step S5 if the pointer is 0, the process returns to step S1; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S6.
- step S1 Which of the product identification codes ID1 and ID3 is read first in step S1 depends on the direction of the product, the mounting position of the electronic tag, and a tag scanning method such as a reader Z writer. If ID3 is extracted in step S1, the following processing is performed in steps S6 and S7
- step S1 Thereafter, when the product identification code ID1 is taken out in step S1, the following processing is performed in steps S6 and S7.
- steps S6 and S7 are performed only for one layer in which the product having the product identification code IDi of interest is a collective product. As a result, overlapping processing can be avoided regardless of the hierarchical structure and the reading order of the electronic tags.
- the processing can be performed at a high speed, and the set product information can be added to an arbitrary row of the set product table.
- connection flag G is used instead of a pointer.
- the present invention includes various other modified examples.
- the product identification code of the collective product As the storage information of the electronic tag 20, as shown in FIG. 4C, the product identification code of the collective product, the collective flag, and the product identification code of the individual product included in the collective product And the number information may be written.
