2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a product sales registration device that can be used as a terminal of a POS (Point Of Sales) system has been developed. Further, even in the sales business using such a product sales registration device, discount processing is performed on the products with the coupon ticket. In other words, a coupon for discounting a specific product is supplied to the customer by direct mail, etc., and if the customer submits the coupon when purchasing the product, the registered price of the target product is discounted. There is.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention Here, in the discount processing with a coupon ticket as described above, for example, even if one customer submits two coupon tickets for which one product is discounted. , Often, only one item is discounted. However, if there are many products to purchase and there are many types of coupons, the cashier forgets the types of products discounted with coupons, and the same product is discounted with multiple coupons. It may end up. For this reason, it is desired to propose a mechanism that prevents duplicate discount processing on coupon tickets.

Means for Solving the Problem Providing discount information input means for inputting discount information of coupon tickets for performing discount processing, and product information input means for inputting product information set for each product. An information storage means is provided for storing the product information for one person registered by the input means, and the product information stored in this information storage means is searched according to the discount information input from the discount information input means. A discounting means for discounting the registered amount of the product information detected by the searching means, and giving a flag to the product information discounted by the discounting means. Means are provided, and duplicate discount prevention means is provided for detecting the flag attached to the product information to be discounted when the discounting means is executed and for prohibiting the discounting processing of the discounting means.

The discount information of the coupon ticket for which the discount process is to be performed is input by the discount information input means, and the product information set for each product is input by the product information input means. The information storage means stores the information, the search means searches the stored product information according to the discount information input from the discount information input means, and the discount means discounts the registered amount of the detected product information. The discount recording means gives a flag to the discounted merchandise information, and the duplicate discount prevention means detects the flag given to the merchandise information to be discounted when the discount means is executed. By prohibiting the discounting process of the discounting means, it is confirmed whether or not there is a discounting process in advance for the target product when the discounting process is performed on the coupon ticket. Duplicate discounts for the same product This is prevented.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, as illustrated in FIG. 2, in the product sales registration device 1,
An FDD (Floppy Disk Driving Devise) 4 as a storage means and a key box 5 are provided in a main body housing 3 formed on the drawer 2, and a keyboard 6 including a control key, a printer 7 and a customer and a cashier are provided on the FDD (Floppy Disk Driving Devise) 4 and a key box 5. And displays 8 and 9 are installed.

Then, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the above-mentioned various devices 6
CPUs (Centr) connected to each of the control circuits 10 to 12
ROM (Read Only Memory) 14 that stores various programs, RAM (Random Access Memory) 15 that temporarily stores various information, and bar code that is product information input means and discount information input means. A scanner (not shown) is connected. In the product sales registration device 1, the CPU 13 has a search means for searching product information, a discount means for changing the registered amount, a discount recording means for giving a flag to the product information, and a clock means for outputting the current date and time. , A period comparison means for comparing the current date and time with the validity period of the coupon ticket, a discount target confirmation means for comparing the discount target information of the coupon ticket with the product information, and an overlap for defining whether or not the discount means is executed. The discount preventing means, the out-of-period discount preventing means, the non-target discount preventing means, and the like are formed by a program or the like.

In the commodity sales registration device 1, a check table 16 for sales work as shown in FIG. 4 and a check table 17 for coupon tickets as shown in FIG. 5 are formed on the floppy disk or the like of the FDD 4. Has been done.

Here, the check table 16 of the sales business is a storage field 18 and 19 for storing the product name and code of the registered product and a storage field for a flag indicating whether or not the discount processing by the coupon ticket is executed.
It is formed of 20 items, and when the sales operation is executed, the product information for one person is stored sequentially.

Also, the check table 17 of the coupon ticket, the storage field 21 of the coupon code, which is the identification code of the coupon ticket,
It is made up of storage columns 22 and 23 for storing start codes and end codes that indicate the discount target range of coupon tickets, and storage columns 24 and 25 for storing start date information and end date information, which are period information, respectively. The coupon code is the same as the EAN code 13
Digits (F ₁ F ₂ X ₁ X ₂ X ₃ X ₄ X ₅ X ₆ X ₇ P ₁ P ₂ P ₃ C / D) etc.,
(F ₁ F ₂ ) at the beginning indicates that it is a coupon ticket (98)
It is formed by or (99), and the discount amount is shown just before the check-decit (C / D) (P ₁ P ₂ P ₃ ). As shown in Fig. 5, coupon code (980000000XXX C /
The coupon code of D) is the product code (640
000000001 C / D) or more and (640000000010 C / D) or less, and the valid period is from (15,09,90) to (18,09,9
Up to 0).

In such a configuration, the product sales registration device 1 normally executes sales operations in the same manner as the conventional product sales registration device.

Therefore, the processing operation of the sales operation when the customer submits the coupon ticket and executes the discount processing will be described below based on the flowchart illustrated in FIG. First, the cashier reads and scans the barcode of a product and the barcode of a coupon with a barcode scanner and inputs them into the device. Then, the CPU 13 that detects this input accesses the FDD 4 and searches the storage column 21 of the check table 17 for the coupon code. When this is detected, the start date information and the end date information are read from the storage columns 24 and 25. It is detected whether the current date and time output by the clock means is within the valid period, and it is determined whether the coupon ticket is valid or invalid.

Then, when it is detected that the validity period of the coupon ticket has passed, the invalidation of the coupon ticket is displayed on the display 9
Whether or not the discount process is executed is displayed by displaying in.
Further, when it is detected that the coupon ticket is within the valid period, the start code and the end code are read from the storage fields 22 and 23 to detect the valid range of the commodity code to be discounted, and the valid range The product code is retrieved from the storage field 19 of the check table 16. Therefore, when the product to be discounted is detected, the flag in the storage column 20 is read to determine whether or not the discounting process is performed. If the flag is 0, it is detected that the discounting process is not performed and the discounting process is performed. When this flag is 1, it is detected that the discount processing has already been performed, and whether or not the discount processing is executed is switched and the registration is executed with the regular amount.

When the product registration is completed in this way, the information indicating the contents is transferred to and stored in the file processor of the host computer, and the product waits for the next product registration.

By doing so, the product sales registration device 1 automatically checks the validity period of the coupon ticket.
It is possible to prevent erroneous discount processing on coupon tickets whose validity period has passed, and moreover, when performing discount processing on coupon tickets, it is possible to confirm that the registered product matches the discount target. Since it is possible to prevent the discount processing of a product that is not a discount target of a coupon ticket by mistake, and whether or not there is a discount processing in advance for the discount target,
It is possible to prevent duplicate discount processing of the same product with a plurality of coupons. Since the cashier does not need to be concerned about such a situation, it is possible to reduce the workload of the cashier and improve the efficiency of the sales operation. Note that the product sales registration device 1 of the present embodiment exemplifies a product that uses a coupon ticket for discounting a specific product, but the present invention is not limited to the above method, and, for example, the type of product. It is also applicable to the case where discount processing is performed by the number regardless of
