(Operation of store system 100)
Next, the operation of the store system 100 will be described.
First, the processing of the sales data processing apparatus 1 when an employee goes to work or leaves will be described.

<Time and attendance information registration process>
When the employee goes to work, he / she inputs his / her employee code using the numeric keypad 111 of the input unit 11 and performs an operation of pressing the work key 114. At the time of leaving the office, the employee code is input by the ten key 111 of the input unit 11 and the operation of pressing the leaving key 115 is performed. In accordance with these operations, the sales data processing apparatus 1 executes attendance / leaving information registration processing.

  FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of the attendance / leaving information registration process. The attendance / leaving information registration process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and the program when the attendance key 114 or the attendance key 115 is pressed.

  First, the current time is acquired from the time measuring unit 19 (step S1), and the command code, employee code, current time, and store name for distinguishing work / leaving (working or leaving) are stored in the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15. It is transmitted (step S2). When the attendance / leaving information registration process is started by pressing the attendance key 114, attendance data consisting of a command code indicating attendance, an employee code, a current time (ie, attendance time), and a store name is transmitted to the information center server 2. Is done. If the attendance / leaving information registration process is started by pressing the leaving key 115, the leaving data including the command code indicating the leaving time, the employee code, the current time (that is, the leaving time), and the store name is transmitted to the information center server 2. Is done.

  After sending attendance data or leaving data to the information center server 2, the process waits for a response from the information center server 2 (step S3). When the response from the information center server 2 is received by the communication unit 15 (step S3; YES), the content of the received response is determined (step S4). If it is determined that the received response is data indicating the normal end of the attendance and attendance information registration (normal end + employee name + attendance (exit) time) (step S4; normal), it is included in the received response The employee name and time are displayed on the display unit 12 (step S5), and the attendance / leaving information registration process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the response received from the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15 is data indicating an attendance / leaving information registration error (step S4; error), an error message is displayed based on the received response. (Step S6), and the attendance / leaving information registration process is completed.

Next, the operation of the information center server 2 will be described.
<Data reception processing>
In the information center server 2, data reception processing shown in FIGS. 10A to 10B is executed in response to reception of data from the sales data processing device 1. The data reception process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 20 and a program stored in the storage unit 24.

  When the data transmitted from the sales data processing apparatus 1 is received by the communication unit 25 (step S11), it is determined whether or not the received data is sales data (step S12). The data transmitted from the sales data processing apparatus 1 includes a command code for distinguishing between attendance and leaving, or a command code indicating sales data, and data received based on this command code. Whether or not is sales data is determined.

  If it is determined in step S12 that the received data is sales data (step S12; YES), the received sales data is confirmed (step S13). For example, it is confirmed whether the data structure of the received sales data is a predetermined sales data data structure, whether the data is broken, or the like. As a result of the confirmation, if there is an abnormality such as a data structure that is not a predetermined data structure or data is broken (step S14; YES), a response indicating a sales data registration error is sent to the sales data processing apparatus 1 by the communication unit 25. Returned (step S15), the data reception process ends. As a result of the confirmation, if there is no abnormality in the sales data (step S14; NO), the sales data is stored in the sales information DB 241 (step S16), and the communication unit 25 confirms that the sales data registration is normally completed in the sales data processing apparatus 1. A response is returned (step S17), and the data reception process ends.

  If it is determined in step S12 that the received data is not sales data (step S12; NO), it is determined whether the received data is attendance data (step S18). When it is determined that the received data is attendance data (step S18; YES), a record in which the employee code included in the received attendance data matches the “employee code” is retrieved from the attendance / employment history file 242. (Step S19). At the time of search, a search counter formed in the RAM 23 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the search counter is incremented (incremented) one by one, one record at a time toward the last record until the corresponding record exists or the last record is reached. A search is performed.

As a result of the search in step S19, if there is a record in which the received attendance data matches the “employee code” (step S20; YES), is “working time” set (stored) in the searched record? It is determined whether or not (step S21). If it is determined that the searched record “working time” is set (step S21; YES), the search counter is incremented by 1 (step S22), the process returns to step S19, and the position corresponding to the search counter is set. A new search is started from the record.
Here, the record in which the “time to leave” is set is past attendance information, so it is not used in this process.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the “working time” is not set in the retrieved record (step S21; NO), a response indicating an attendance / leaving information registration error is returned to the sales data processing device 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S21). S23), the data reception process ends. When there is a record in which “time-off” is not set, it indicates that the attendance operation has been continuously performed for the same employee in the sales data processing apparatus 1, and therefore a response indicating an attendance information registration error is displayed in the sales data processing apparatus. Returned to 1.

  As a result of the search in step S19, when the record that matches the received attendance data and the “employee code” does not exist in the subsequent records of the attendance / employment history file 242, the final record is reached (step S20; NO). A new record is added to the history file 242, and the “employee code”, “store name”, and “attendance time” of the received attendance data are set (stored) (step S24). Then, the “employee name” corresponding to the employee code is acquired from the employee setting file 243 (step S25), and response data (normal end + employee name + attendance time) indicating the normal end of the attendance / attendance information registration is obtained. The data is returned to the sales data processing apparatus 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S26), and the data reception process is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S18 that the received data is not attendance data (step S18; NO), it is determined whether or not the received data is leaving data (step S27). When it is determined that the received data is leaving data (step S27; YES), a record in which the employee code included in the received attendance data matches the “employee code” is searched from the attendance / leaving history file 242. (Step S28). When searching, a search counter formed in the RAM 23 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the search counter is incremented (incremented) one by one, one record at a time toward the last record until the corresponding record exists or the last record is reached. A search is performed.

As a result of the search in step S28, if there is a record in which the received work time data and the “employee code” match (step S29; YES), it is determined whether or not “work time” is set in the retrieved record. Judgment is made (step S30). If it is determined that “working time” is set in the searched record (step S30; YES), the search counter is incremented by 1 (step S31), the process returns to step S28, and the position corresponding to the search counter A new search is started from this record. Here, the record in which the “time to leave” is set is past attendance information, so it is not used in this process.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the “working time” is not set in the retrieved record (step S30; NO), the “store name” and the “working time” are stored in the retrieved record of the attendance / leaving history file 242. (Step S32). Then, the “employee name” corresponding to the “employee code” is acquired from the employee setting file 243 (step S33), and response data indicating the normal end of the attendance / exit information registration (normal end + employee name + offtime) ) Is returned to the sales data processing apparatus 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S34), and the data receiving process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S27 that the received data is not work data (step S27; NO), or as a result of the search in step S28, the received work data and the “employee code” match. The record does not exist in the subsequent records in the attendance / employment history file 242, and the final record has been reached (that is, there is no record that matches the “employee code” or all records that match the “employee code” are “ In the case where “working time” is set) (step S29; NO), a response indicating an attendance / leaving information registration error is returned to the sales data processing apparatus 1 by the communication unit 25 (step S35), and the data receiving process is terminated. When there is no record with the same “employee code” in the attendance / leaving history file 142 or when all the records with the same “employee code” are set, “sales time” is set in the sales data processing device 1. Since it indicates that the attendance operation corresponding to the current leave operation is not performed for the employee, an attendance / leaving information registration error occurs.

  Sales data, attendance data, and leaving data are registered in the information center server 2 by the above data reception processing.

<Mail delivery processing>
Next, a mail delivery process executed at predetermined time intervals in the information center server 2 will be described. In the present embodiment, the mail delivery process is executed every second. 11A to 11C are flowcharts of the mail delivery process. The mail delivery process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 20 and a program stored in the storage unit 24.

  First, a one-second timer is started to execute the next mail delivery process (step S41). That is, counting for one second by the clock of the CPU 20 is started.

  Next, the current time is acquired from the time measuring unit 26 (step S42), and the “distribution time” of the processing target record in the mail distribution command setting file 244 is acquired (step S43). Here, a “mail delivery command setting file search counter” is formed in the RAM 23 to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the “mail delivery command setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 and the processing target record is shifted by 1 record toward the final record. Is done.

  Next, the current time is compared with the “delivery time” of the processing target record in the mail delivery command setting file 244 (step S44). In the comparison in step S44, if the current time and the time of “delivery time” match, it is determined that they match.

  As a result of comparison, if the current time and the “delivery time” match (step S44; match), the “transmission destination” and “mail content” of the corresponding record are acquired from the mail delivery command setting file 244, and the mail delivery in the RAM 23 is performed. It is stored in the temporary memory 231 (step S45).

  Next, a record in which the “transmission destination” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 231 matches the “management level” is searched from the employee setting file 243 (step S46). At the time of search, an “employee setting file search counter” formed in the RAM 23 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, assuming that the first record is 1, the “employee setting file search counter” is incremented (incremented) one by one, and the corresponding record exists one by one toward the last record, or The search is performed until the last record is reached.

  As a result of the search, if there is a record that matches the “transmission destination” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 231 and the “management level” in the employee setting file 243 (step S 47; YES), the employee setting temporary memory 232 in the RAM 23. The “employee code”, “name”, and “mail address” of the retrieved record are temporarily stored (step S48).

  Next, the “management level” of the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 is referred to, and it is determined whether the user is the owner or the G manager (step S49). When it is determined that the “management level” of the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 is the owner or the G manager (step S49; YES), the data stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 is scheduled to be mailed. It is set in the memory 233 (step S50). Then, the “employee setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S51), the process returns to step S46, and a new search is started from the record at the position corresponding to the “employee setting file search counter”. . That is, when the management level is the owner or the G manager, it is necessary to grasp the progress of the business regardless of whether or not he / she is attending work. Is set.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the “management level” of the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 is not the owner or the G manager (step S49; NO), the mail distribution is performed based on the attendance and leaving by the processing of steps S52 to S54. It is discriminated whether or not it is a target.

  First, a record whose “employee code” matches the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 is searched from the time and attendance history file 242 (step S52). At the time of the search, the “attendance / attendance history file search counter” formed in the RAM 23 is used. The first record is set to 1, and the “attendance / attendance history file search counter” is incremented (incremented) one by one, toward the final record. Then, the search is performed sequentially for each record until the corresponding record exists or the last record is reached.

  As a result of the search in step S52, if there is a record with the same “employee code” in the attendance / leaving history file 242 (step S53; YES), it is determined whether or not the “working time” is set in the record. (Step S54). If it is determined that the “time of work” is set in the record (step S54; YES), the “search counter for time and attendance history file” is incremented by 1 (step S56), and the process returns to step S52. The search is newly started from the record at the position corresponding to the “history file search counter”. Here, the record in which “working time” is set indicates that it is a record about past work or has already left work on that day. Therefore, it is not determined as a mail delivery target, and a mail address is not set.

  In step S54, if it is determined that the “working time” is not set in the record searched in step S53 (step S54; NO), the data stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 is stored in the mail delivery schedule memory 233. (Step S55). The “attendance / attendance history file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S56), the process returns to step S52, and a new search is started from the record corresponding to the “attendance / attendance history file search counter”. Here, the record that does not store the “working time” indicates that the employee of that “employee code” is going to work. An e-mail address is set in 233.

  On the other hand, as a result of the search in step S52, a record whose “employee code” matches the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 232 does not exist in the subsequent records in the time and attendance history file 242, and has reached the last record. If it is determined (step S53; NO), the process proceeds to step S51, the “employee setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S51), the process returns to step S46, and the “employee setting file search counter” A new search is started from the record corresponding to the “search counter”.

  As a result of the search in step S46, a record whose “transmission destination” and “management level” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 231 do not exist in the subsequent records of the employee setting file 243, and the search of all records is completed. If it is determined that the process has been performed (step S47; NO), the process proceeds to step S57.

  In step S57, it is determined from the “mail content” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 231 whether the current mail content is a command or a character string (step S57). Here, the “mail content” in the mail delivery command setting file 244 and the mail delivery temporary memory 231 includes a command or character string classification (for example, “character string:” or “command:” in FIG. 8). Whether this is a command or a character string is discriminated by this classification.

  If it is determined that the current mail content is a command (sales data mail delivery command) (step S58; YES), sales data is acquired from the sales information DB 241. The acquired sales data is used as the text, and the subject is “sales. A mail “contact” is created (step S59), and the process proceeds to step S62. In this embodiment, the command is only a sales data mail delivery command that is a command for delivering sales data by mail, but may be other commands.

  If it is determined that the current mail content is not a command (step S58; NO) but a character string (step S60; YES), it is stored in the “mail content” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 231. A mail having the character string as the mail text and the subject as “business communication” is created (step S61), and the process proceeds to step S62.

  In step S62, the mail address is acquired from the mail distribution schedule memory 233 and set as the destination of the mail created in step S59 or step S61 (step S62), and the mail is sent via the communication unit 25 by the mail distribution device 27. Delivered (step S63).

  After mail distribution, it is determined whether or not mail has been distributed to all mail addresses stored in the mail distribution schedule memory 233, and it is determined that mail has not yet been distributed to all mail addresses. (Step S64; NO), the process returns to Step S62. Then, when the processing of steps S62 to S63 is repeatedly executed and it is determined that the mail has been delivered to all the mail addresses stored in the mail delivery schedule memory 233 (step S64; YES), “mail delivery” The “command setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S65), the process returns to step S43, and the record at the position corresponding to the “mail delivery command setting file search counter” is set as the processing target record. Processing is executed.

  If it is determined in step S44 that the current time and the “delivery time” do not match (step S44; do not match), it is determined whether or not the processing for all the records in the mail delivery command setting file 244 is completed. If it is determined that it has not (step S66; NO), the “mail delivery designation setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S67), the process returns to step S43, and the “mail delivery command setting file search counter”. The processing at step S43 and subsequent steps is executed with the record at the position corresponding to "" as the processing target record. When it is determined that the processing for all the records in the mail delivery command setting file 244 has been completed (step S66; YES), the mail delivery process is finished.

  As described above, according to the store system 100 of the first embodiment, the CPU 20 of the information center server 2 performs the store business performers (employees managed by the employee code and the employees transmitted from the sales data processing device 1). The attendance and attendance information of the owner) is accumulated in the attendance and attendance history file 242 stored in the storage unit 24, and is subject to distribution of sales data and mail related to business communication based on the attendance and attendance information stored in the attendance and attendance history file 242. The mail delivery device 27 transmits an e-mail to the address of the mobile terminal of the work performer identified as the distribution target.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mail from being distributed to the mobile terminal of a business person who does not need to distribute the mail, such as a manager or a clerk who does not work.

  In addition, the storage unit 24 stores an employee setting file 243 in which the management levels of business performers in all stores are stored, and the CPU 20 has a management level set at a predetermined management level such as an owner or a G manager. For certain business performers, all are determined as e-mail delivery targets, and for those who are not at a predetermined management level, it is determined whether or not e-mails are to be delivered based on the attendance information. .

  Therefore, it is possible to deliver an email regardless of whether or not he / she is attending work to a manager at a management level who needs to know business and sales, such as an owner or manager of a store such as a manager. It becomes possible.

  In addition, the storage unit 24 stores a mail delivery command setting file 244 that stores an email delivery time, a destination, and mail contents in association with each other, and the CPU 20 sets the mail delivery command setting file 244. When the scheduled delivery time arrives, the business performer to whom the e-mail is to be delivered is determined from the business performers designated as the transmission destination, and the mail content stored in the mail delivery command setting file 244 Based on the above, the mail delivery device 27 delivers the mail to the address of the mobile terminal of the business performer determined as the delivery target.

  Therefore, at a preset delivery time, it is possible to deliver mail to a necessary business performer among business performers designated as transmission destinations based on the management level and attendance information.

[Embodiment 2]
Hereinafter, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described.
In the second embodiment, the sales data processing device 1 stores the attendance and attendance history file, the employee setting file, and the like stored in the information center server 2 in the first embodiment, and the sales data processing device 1 is the target of mail distribution. Discriminating staff and creating emails.

(Configuration of Embodiment 2)
First, the configuration of the second embodiment will be described.
The overall configuration of the store system 100 in the second embodiment is the same as that described in the first embodiment. Since the configurations of the sales data processing apparatus 1 and the information center server 2 are substantially the same as those described in the first embodiment, different portions will be described below.

  In addition to the product registration information file 141, the storage unit 14 of the sales data processing apparatus 1 stores an attendance / attendance history file 142, an employee setting file 143, and a business contact file 144.

  The attendance and attendance history file 142 is a file that stores employee attendance and attendance information at the store where the sales data processing apparatus 1 is installed. FIG. 12 shows an example of data storage in the attendance / leaving history file 142. As shown in FIG. 12, “employee code”, “attendance time”, and “attendance time” are associated with each other and stored as one record in the attendance / leaving history file 142.

  The employee setting file 143 is a file that stores information on the employees of the store where the sales data processing apparatus 1 is installed. The data storage configuration of the employee setting file 143 is the same as that shown in FIG. That is, in the employee setting file 143, as shown in FIG. 7, information of “employee code”, “management level”, “name”, and “email address” of each employee is associated with each other as one record. Stored. The management level indicates the job level of each employee, and any one of “owner”, “G manager”, “manager”, and “clerk” can be set. The e-mail address is the e-mail address of the mobile terminal possessed by the employee.

  Here, in the employee setting file 143, as with the employee setting file 243, the “employee code” can be given to the owner for convenience, and the “management level” is set to “owner” as described above. It is possible to set. That is, in the store system 100, the owner is handled in the same manner as the employee by giving the employee an employee code and registering the name, management level, and e-mail address in the employee setting file 143 in the same manner as the employee. Can do. The owner can use the employee code in the sales data processing apparatus 1 to register various operations and attendance / leaving information in the same manner as the employee.

  The business contact file 144 is a file that stores information about mail to be distributed to employees. FIG. 13 shows a data storage example of the business communication file 144. As shown in FIG. 13, the business communication file 144 is associated with “delivery time”, “destination”, “operation”, “mail content”, and “operation completion date / time” of each mail to be delivered. Stored as one record. The “transmission destination” is information indicating the management level designated as the mail transmission destination, and here, “owner”, “G manager”, “manager”, or “clerk” can be designated. . “Operation” is information indicating an operation that is a criterion for determining whether or not to deliver mail, and here, any of an inspection operation, a change preparation operation, and a settlement operation can be set. The “operation completion date / time” is information indicating the last date and time when the operation designated by “operation” is completed.

  Further, the storage unit 14 stores programs for executing various processes such as attendance information registration processing, leaving information registration processing, change preparation processing, inspection processing, settlement processing, and mail delivery request processing, which will be described later. Performs these processes according to the program.

The RAM 13 of the sales data processing apparatus 1 has data storage areas such as a mail delivery temporary memory 131, an employee setting temporary memory 132, and a mail delivery schedule memory 133, as shown in FIG.
The mail distribution temporary memory 131 is an area for temporarily storing a mail destination and mail contents to be distributed at the current time in a mail distribution request process described later.
The employee setting temporary memory 132 is an area for storing an employee code, a name, an email address, and the like of an employee corresponding to an email transmission destination in an email delivery request process described later.
The mail delivery schedule memory 133 stores the employee code, name, and mail address of the employee determined as the mail delivery target among the employees stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 in the mail delivery request processing described later. It is an area to do.

  Other configurations of the sales data processing apparatus 1 and the information center server 2 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and thus the description is cited.

(Operation in Embodiment 2)
Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described.
First, the processing of the sales data processing apparatus 1 when an employee goes to work or leaves will be described.

  When the employee goes to work, he / she inputs his / her employee code using the numeric keypad 111 of the input unit 11 and performs an operation of pressing the work key 114. In response to this operation, attendance information registration processing is executed.

<Attendance information registration process>
FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the attendance information registration process. The attendance information registration process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and the program when the employee code is input and the attendance key 114 is pressed.

  First, the current time is acquired from the timekeeping unit 19 (step S71), and a record in which the numerical value (input code) input by the numeric keypad 111 matches the “employee code” is searched from the attendance / employment history file 142 (step S72). . At the time of search, a search counter formed in the RAM 13 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the search counter is incremented (incremented) one by one, one record at a time toward the last record until the corresponding record exists or the last record is reached. A search is performed.

As a result of the search in step S72, if there is a record in which the input code and the “employee code” match (step S73; YES), it is determined whether or not “working time” is set in the searched record. (Step S74). If it is determined that “working time” is set in the searched record (step S74; YES), the search counter is incremented by 1 (step S75), the process returns to step S72, and the position corresponding to the search counter A new search is started from this record.
If it is determined that “working time” is not set in the retrieved record (step S74; NO), an error message is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S76), and the attendance information registration process ends. If there is a record that does not have the “working time” set, the sales data processing device 1 indicates that the attendance operation was continuously performed for the same employee, and an error message indicating that fact is displayed on the display unit 12. Is done.

  On the other hand, as a result of the search in step S72, a record in which the input code matches the “employee code” does not exist in the subsequent records in the attendance / employment history file 142, and has reached the final record (that is, the “employee code” matches). If there is no record to be recorded or “working time” is set for all the records with the same “employee code”) (step S73; NO), a new record is added to the time and attendance history file 142, and the input code Is stored in the employee code, and the current time acquired in step S71 is stored in “attendance time” (step S77). Then, the attendance information registration process ends.

<Exit information registration process>
When the employee leaves the office, the employee inputs his / her employee code using the numeric keypad 111 of the input unit 11 and performs an operation of pressing down the employee leave key 115. In response to this operation, the sales data processing apparatus 1 executes a work leave information registration process.

  FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of the leave information registration process. The leave information registration process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and the program when the employee code is input and the leave key 115 is pressed.

  First, the current time is acquired from the time measuring unit 19 (step S81), and a record in which the numerical value (input code) input by the numeric keypad 111 matches the “employee code” is searched from the attendance / attendance history file 142 (step S82). . When searching, a search counter formed in the RAM 13 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the search counter is incremented (incremented) one by one, one record at a time toward the last record until the corresponding record exists or the last record is reached. A search is performed.

As a result of the search in step S82, if there is a record in which the input code matches the “employee code” in the attendance / leaving history file 142 (step S83; YES), whether or not “working time” is set in the retrieved record. Is determined (step S84). If it is determined that “working time” is set in the searched record (step S84; YES), the search counter is incremented by 1 (step S85), the process returns to step S82, and the position corresponding to the search counter A new search is started from this record.
Here, the record in which the “time to leave” is set is past attendance information, so it is not used in this process.

  If it is determined in step S84 that the “working time” has not been set in the retrieved record (step S84; NO), the “working time” is set in the retrieved record in the attendance / leaving history file 142 (step S86). ), The leaving information registration process ends.

  On the other hand, as a result of the search in step S82, the record in which the input code matches the “employee code” does not exist in the subsequent records in the attendance / leaving history file 142, and has reached the final record (that is, the “employee code” matches). In the case where there is no record to be recorded or "working time" is set for all records having the same "employee code") (step S83; NO), an error message is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S87). The leave information registration process ends. When there is no record with the same “employee code” in the attendance / leaving history file 142 or when all the records with the same “employee code” are set, “sales time” is set in the sales data processing device 1. Since the employee indicates that the attendance operation corresponding to the current leave operation has not been performed, an error message indicating that fact is displayed on the display unit 12.

  Next, processing executed in response to various key operations in the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described.

<Change preparation processing>
FIG. 16 illustrates a change preparation process executed by the CPU 10 in response to pressing of the change preparation key 116. The change preparation process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and a program stored in the storage unit 14.

  When a change preparation operation (for example, the number of change of each denomination prepared in the drawer 17 is input) is performed by the input unit 11 (step S91), an operation content (input) performed from the input unit 11 is performed. The number of values etc.) is displayed on the display unit 12 (step S92). Further, the operation content (number of denominations, etc.) performed from the input unit 11 is printed by the printing unit 16 (step S93).

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is a record in which “change preparation operation” is set in the “operation” area in the business communication file 144 of the storage unit 14 (step S94). If it is determined that there is a record in which “change preparation operation” is set (step S94; YES), the current date and time are acquired from the time measuring unit 19 (step S95), and the “operation completion date” of the corresponding record is acquired. The current date and time are set in the “time” area (step S96). Then, the change preparation process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the business communication file 144 that there is no record in which “change preparation operation” is set in the “operation” area (step S94; NO), the change preparation process ends.

<Inspection process>
FIG. 17 illustrates an inspection process executed by the CPU 10 when the operation mode shifts to the inspection mode by pressing the inspection mode key 113c. The inspection process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and a program stored in the storage unit 14.

  When a predetermined inspection operation (for example, input of a range (period or the like) subject to inspection processing) is performed by the input unit 11 (step S101), the content of the inspection operation performed from the input unit 11 is displayed on the display unit 12. (Step S102). Then, according to the inspection operation performed from the input unit 11, the sales data of the product registration information file 141 is read and printed by the printing unit 16 (step S103).

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is a record storing “inspection operation” in the “operation” area in the business communication file 144 in the storage unit 14 (step S104). If it is determined that there is a record storing “inspection operation” (step S104; YES), the current date and time are acquired from the time measuring unit 19 (step S105), and the “operation completion date time” of the corresponding record is acquired. ”Is set to the current date and time (step S106). Then, the inspection process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the business communication file 144 that there is no record in which “inspection operation” is set in the “operation” area (step S104; NO), the inspection process ends.

<Checkout process>
FIG. 18 illustrates a settlement process executed by the CPU 10 when the operation mode shifts to the settlement mode by pressing the settlement mode key 113d. The settlement process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and the program stored in the storage unit 14. The checkout process is performed at the end of the day's work, such as at night.

  When a predetermined settlement operation (for example, input of a range to be settled) is performed by the input unit 11 (step S111), the contents of the settlement operation performed from the input unit 11 are displayed on the display unit 12. (Step S112). Then, according to the settlement operation performed from the input unit 11, the sales data of the product registration information file 141 is read and printed by the printing unit 16 (step S113), and the read sales data is stored in the product registration information file. 141 is deleted (step S114).

  Next, it is determined whether or not there is a record storing “settlement operation” in the “operation” area in the business communication file 144 in the storage unit 14 (step S115). If it is determined that there is a record storing “settlement operation” (step S115; YES), the current date and time are acquired from the time measuring unit 19 (step S116), and “operation completion date time” of the corresponding record is acquired. The current date and time are set in the area "" (step S117). Then, the settlement process ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the business communication file 144 that there is no record in which the “settlement operation” is set in the “operation” area (step S115; NO), the settlement process ends.

<Mail delivery request processing>
Next, a mail delivery request process executed every predetermined time in the sales data processing apparatus 1 will be described. In the present embodiment, the mail delivery request process is executed every second. 19A to 19C are flowcharts of the mail delivery request process. The mail delivery request process is executed in cooperation with the CPU 10 and a program stored in the storage unit 14.

  First, a one-second timer is started to execute the next mail delivery request process (step S121). That is, counting for one second by the clock of the CPU 10 is started.

  Next, the current time is acquired from the timer unit 19 (step S122), and the “distribution time” and “operation completion date time” of the processing target record of the business communication file 144 are acquired (step S123). Here, a “business communication file search counter” is formed in the RAM 13, and the position of the record to be processed is managed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the search counter is incremented (incremented) by 1 while the processing target record is shifted by 1 record toward the final record.

  Next, the current time is compared with the “delivery time” of the processing target record in the business communication file 144 (step S124). In the comparison in step S124, if the current time and the time of “delivery time” match, it is determined that they match.

  As a result of the comparison, if the current time and the delivery time match (step S124; match), it is determined whether the date of “operation completion date time” of the processing target record is the current day and the time is within one hour from the current time. (Step S125). When it is determined that the date of “operation completion date / time” of the processing target record is the current day and the time is within one hour from the current time (that is, the operation specified by “operation” of the processing target record has been completed) (Step S125; YES), the process proceeds to Step S140, the “business communication file search counter” is incremented by 1, and the process returns to Step S123.

  On the other hand, the date of “operation completion date / time” of the processing target record is not the current day, or even if it is the current date, the time is not within one hour from the current time (that is, specified by “operation” of the processing target record, If it is determined that the operation to be performed at the current time has not been completed (step S125; NO), the “transmission destination” and “mail content” of the corresponding record are acquired from the business communication file 144, and the RAM 13 Is set in the temporary mail delivery memory 131 (step S126).

  Next, a record in which the “transmission destination” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 131 matches the “management level” is searched from the employee setting file 143 (step S127). At the time of search, an “employee setting file search counter” formed in the RAM 13 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, with the first record as 1, the “employee setting file search counter” is counted up (incremented) one by one, and the corresponding record exists one by one toward the last record. Alternatively, the search is performed until the last record is reached.

  As a result of the search, if there is a record that matches the “transmission destination” stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 131 and the “management level” in the employee setting file 143 (step S128; YES), the employee setting temporary memory 132 in the RAM 13 is stored. The “employee code”, “name”, and “mail address” of the retrieved record are temporarily stored (step S129).

  Next, the “management level” of the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 is referred to, and it is determined whether the user is the owner or the G manager (step S130). When it is determined that the “management level” of the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 is the owner or the G manager (step S130; YES), the data stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 is scheduled to be mailed. It is set in the memory 133 (step S131). Then, the “employee setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S132), the process returns to step S127, and a new search is started from the record corresponding to the “employee setting file search counter”. . That is, when the management level is the owner or the G manager, it is determined that the mail is to be delivered regardless of whether or not he / she is at work, and an email address or the like is set in the email delivery schedule memory 133.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the “management level” of the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 is not the owner or the G manager (step S130; NO), mail distribution is performed based on the attendance and leaving by the processing of steps S133 to S135. It is discriminated whether or not it is a target.

  First, a record whose “employee code” matches the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 is searched from the time and attendance history file 142 (step S133). At the time of search, a “attendance / attendance history file search counter” formed in the RAM 13 is used to manage the position of the record to be processed. Specifically, the first record is set to 1, and the corresponding record exists sequentially one record at a time toward the final record while incrementing (incrementing) the “attendance / attendance history file search counter” by one. The search is performed until the last record is reached.

  As a result of the search, when there is a record with the same “employee code” in the attendance / leaving history file 142 (step S134; YES), it is determined whether or not “time away” is set in the record (step S135). ). If it is determined that the “time of work” is set in the record (step S135; YES), the “search counter of the time and attendance history file” is incremented by 1 (step S137), and the process returns to step S133. The search is newly started from the record at the position corresponding to the “history file search counter”. Here, the record in which “working time” is set indicates that it is a record about past work or has already left work on that day. Therefore, it is not determined as a mail delivery target, and a mail address is not set.

  In step S135, if it is determined that the “working time” is not set in the retrieved record (step S135; NO), the data stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 is set in the mail delivery schedule memory 133. (Step S136). Then, the “attendance / attendance history file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S137), the process returns to step S133, and a new search is started from the record corresponding to the “attendance / attendance history file search counter” in the attendance / attendance history file 142. The Here, a record in which “time away from work” is not set indicates that the employee of the employee code is working, and the employee who is working is determined to be mail delivery target, and the mail delivery schedule memory An e-mail address is stored in 133.

  On the other hand, as a result of the search in step S133, a record whose “employee code” matches the record stored in the employee setting temporary memory 132 does not exist in the subsequent records in the attendance / employment history file 142, and has reached the final record. If it is determined (step S134; NO), the process proceeds to step S132, the “employee setting file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S132), the process returns to step S127, and “employee setting file search counter” is set. A new search is started from the record corresponding to the “search counter”.

  As a result of the search in step S127, it is determined that a record in which the “transmission destination” set in the mail delivery temporary memory 131 matches the “management level” does not exist in the subsequent records of the employee setting file 143 and has reached the final record. If so (step S128; NO), the process proceeds to step S138.

  In step S138, a mail delivery request command is created based on the data stored in the mail delivery schedule memory 133 and the mail contents stored in the mail delivery temporary memory 131 (step S138).

  FIG. 20 shows a data configuration example of the mail delivery request command created in step S138. As shown in FIG. 20, the mail delivery request command includes a mail delivery request command code indicating that it is a mail delivery request command, an employee code, name, email address, and email stored in the email delivery schedule memory 133. The mail contents stored in the temporary distribution memory 131 are configured.

  When the creation of the mail delivery request command is completed, the created mail delivery request command is transmitted to the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15 (step S139). Then, the business communication file search counter is incremented by 1 (step S140), the process returns to step S123, and the record corresponding to the “mail delivery command setting file search counter” is set as the processing target record. The process is executed.

  If it is determined in step S124 that the current time does not match the “distribution time” (step S124; does not match), it is determined whether or not the processing for all the records in the business communication file 144 has been completed. If it is determined that there is not (step S141; NO), the “business contact file search counter” is incremented by 1 (step S142), the process returns to step S123, and the position corresponding to the “business contact file search counter” is reached. The processing after step S123 is executed with the record as the processing target record. If it is determined that the processing for all the records in the business communication file 144 has been completed (step S141; YES), the mail delivery request processing ends.

  In the information center server 2, when the mail delivery request command is received from the sales data processing device 1 by the communication unit 25, the “mail content” included in the received mail delivery request command is used as the mail text, and “business communication” The mail with the subject “is created, and the mail is delivered to the“ mail address ”by the mail delivery device 27.

  As described above, according to the store system 100 of the second embodiment, the CPU 10 of the sales data processing apparatus 1 performs sales data and business communication based on the attendance / leaving information stored in the attendance / leaving history file 142 of the storage unit 14. Identify the business performers (employees and owners managed by employee codes) that are subject to the delivery of such emails, and generate a mail delivery request command to the mobile terminal address of the business performer identified as the delivery target Then, the information is transmitted to the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15. The information center server 2 performs mail distribution based on the mail distribution request command.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mail from being distributed to the mobile terminal of a business person who does not need to distribute the mail, such as a manager or a clerk who does not work.

  The storage unit 14 stores an employee setting file 143 in which management levels of business performers in all stores are stored. The CPU 10 has a management level of a predetermined management level such as an owner or a G manager. For certain business performers, all are determined as e-mail delivery targets, and for those who are not at a predetermined management level, it is determined whether or not e-mails are to be delivered based on the attendance information. .

  Therefore, it is possible to deliver an email regardless of whether or not he / she is attending work to a manager at a management level who needs to know business and sales, such as an owner or manager of a store such as a manager. It becomes possible.

  In addition, the storage unit 14 stores a business contact file 144 that stores an electronic mail delivery time, a transmission destination, and mail content in association with each other, and the CPU 10 delivers the delivery set in the business contact file 144. When the time arrives, the business performer to whom the mail is to be delivered is determined from among the business performers designated as the transmission destinations, and a mail delivery request command for the mail content stored in the business contact file 144 is issued. The information is transmitted to the information center server 2 by the communication unit 15.

  Therefore, at a preset delivery time, it is possible to deliver mail to a necessary business performer among business performers designated as transmission destinations based on the management level and attendance information.

  In addition, the delivered mail is a mail for instructing a predetermined operation to be executed in the business, and the CPU 10 determines whether or not the predetermined operation has been executed. The business performer to whom the mail is to be distributed is determined, and a mail distribution request command to the address of the terminal of the business performer determined as the distribution target is transmitted to the information center server 2 that performs the mail distribution.

  Therefore, if a predetermined operation is performed, it is possible to prevent delivery of mail that does not need to be delivered. For example, at the time of inspection work, even if it is set to deliver a business contact email such as "Please check in", if the inspection operation has already been performed, the email will not be delivered. Unnecessary mail delivery can be prevented.

  In addition, the description content in the said embodiment is a suitable example of the store system 100 which concerns on this invention, and is not limited to this.

  For example, in the first and second embodiments, the case where mail is delivered to the mobile terminal of the business operator has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the business operator's PC (Personal Computer) or the like may be used. Good.

  In the second embodiment, the business communication file 144 is used instead of the mail distribution command setting file 244 in the first embodiment, and mail is not distributed when the operation stored in the business communication file 144 is completed. Although the mode has been described, a file similar to the mail delivery command setting file 244 may be stored in the storage unit 14, and the mail delivery target may be determined based only on the attendance information and the management level.

  In addition, although the management level for mail delivery is determined in advance, it may be set based on an operation from the input unit. In addition, regardless of the management level, it is also possible to determine the mail delivery target based on the attendance / leaving information.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of each device constituting the store system 100 can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention.
