Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus capable of executing a preferential discount service differentiated at every store visit interval. [0002] For example, in a merchandise sales registration data processing device of the electronic cash register type, when a merchandise code attached to a merchandise is read by a scanner, a control section (CPU) searches for a merchandise file and searches for merchandise data ( Product name, unit price, etc.). That is, the merchandise data is input (YE in ST30 of FIG. 6).
S). Then, the CPU registers the product data as sales data in the registration file (ST31). [0003] When all the products purchased by the customer are registered and a subtotal key is pressed (YES in ST33),
Calculation of the total amount is performed. Then, the user enters a deposit amount and performs a closing operation to declare the end of one transaction (Y in ST36).
When ES) is performed, accounting processing including calculation of the change amount is performed (ST37). A receipt on which the product data is printed is issued (ST38). Here, for example, in the discount service during the special sale period, which is adopted as an integral part of the customer service, the discount key is turned on (YES in ST33) every product registration (ST31) or after all the product registrations are completed. , And a discount rate is key-inputted (YES in ST34). Then, a process of subtracting a discount amount obtained by multiplying the unit price or the subtotal amount by the discount rate is performed. In some cases, instead of the discount rate, a discount amount or a unit price after the discount is input, but it is substantially the same as the case where the discount rate is input. [0005] By the way, there has been a demand for further ensuring the effectiveness of the discount service as competition intensifies. That is, in the case of the conventional discount service,
During the special sale period, it is busy, so that the cashier's mental and physical burden becomes excessive in terms of handling, and the service to fixed customers is reduced. In addition, when the special sale period ends, many customers change to other stores, and it is difficult to convert them into fixed customers. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of fixed customers,
It has been pointed out that the same discount service as passing customers or once a year has a kind of unfairness and dissatisfaction. In the worst case, the visitor of a fixed customer may be far away. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a simple-to-handle merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of giving discounted services to fixed customers who frequently visit a store. It is in. According to the present invention, there is provided a customer-specific visit management data storage means for storing a customer number and a visit date in association with each other, and an interval for storing a visit interval and discount data in a corresponding manner. Using a different discount data storage means, a visitor day read means for searching the customer-specific visit management data storage means to read a destination visit date corresponding to the customer number, and using the read visit date and the visit day. A visit interval calculating means for calculating the visit interval of the customer, a discount data selecting means for selecting the discount data corresponding to the visit interval calculated by searching the discount data storage means for each interval, and the selected discount data. And a discount processing executing means for performing a discount processing on the customer-purchased commodities by using the discount processing. In the case of the present invention having the above-described structure, the customer number of the customer who has visited the store and the visit date are automatically or manually stored in the customer-specific visit management data storage means as customer-specific visit management data. In addition, the discount data for each interval in which the visit interval and the discount data correspond to each other is set and stored in advance in the discount-for-interval storage unit. Here, when the customer A comes to the store and purchases a product, the store visit date reading means searches the customer-specific visit management data storage means and reads the previous visit date. Subsequently, the store visit interval calculating means calculates the store visit interval using the read store visit date and the store visit day. Then, the discount data selecting means detects the discount data storage means for each interval and selects the discount data corresponding to the calculated visit interval. [0010] Thus, the discount processing executing means executes the discount processing on the purchased commodities using the selected discount data. Therefore, it is possible to automatically provide a larger discount service when the visit interval is short. Since it is only necessary to input the customer number, the handling is very simple.
