Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus such as a POS (Point of Sales) terminal and a program.

  In general, a merchandise sales data processing apparatus such as a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal used in a store or the like has a function of assisting accounting operations by processing data related to merchandise sales. The merchandise sales data processing apparatus is operated by a plurality of employees having different business contents in charge, such as store managers and cashiers in charge of accounting work. For this reason, the merchandise sales data processing apparatus needs to restrict the functions that can be used by the employee who performs the operation.

  Some conventional merchandise sales data processing apparatuses have a function of authenticating an operator by, for example, causing the operator to perform a sign-on operation at the start of the operation. As a sign-on method, for example, a portable NFC card that stores and holds an ID code unique to an employee, and recognition that the ID code of this NFC card can be recognized using non-contact wireless communication A method using an apparatus is known. That is, the recognition device is connected to the product sales data processing device, and the ID code of the NFC card carried by each operator is registered in advance in the product sales data processing device or its higher server device. And it is the method of enabling operation of a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that sign-on is effective when the ID code recognized by the connected recognition apparatus is registered beforehand.

  The merchandise sales data processing apparatus can restrict the functions that can be used in accordance with the operator (store manager, cashier, etc.) authenticated in sign-on.

  Thus, the conventional merchandise sales data processing apparatus restricts the functions that can be used depending on the operator. Conventionally, when a failure that prevents the use of the merchandise sales data processing apparatus occurs, even the operator who has the right to use cannot use the merchandise sales data processing apparatus.

  For this reason, for example, when the network is disconnected due to the occurrence of a disaster and the entire system does not operate normally, when the product sales data processing device has failed and cannot operate normally, In a normal situation, when a specific operator (for example, a store manager) has to do other business, the product sales data processing device can execute the business. There wasn't.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus and program capable of executing necessary work even in an emergency.

According to the embodiment, a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that performs data processing relating to merchandise sales includes a communication unit, a first control unit, and a second control unit. The communication means communicates with a portable storage medium that stores codes . The first control means performs control so that a first function preset according to the first code can be executed when the first code is received from the storage medium .

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a case where the present invention is applied to a POS system constructed in a supermarket will be described as an example.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a POS system in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of checkout counters 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D are installed in parallel at a supermarket accounting location (register). One side of the checkout counters 1A to 1D is a checkout lane through which a shopper passes. The other side of the checkout counters 1A to 1D is a standing position of a store clerk who performs accounting work, so-called cashiers 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D. The checkout counters 1A to 1D are respectively provided with POS terminals 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D (product sales data processing devices) that perform data processing related to product sales. The cashiers 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D operate the POS terminals 3A to 3D, respectively, register sales data of products purchased by the shopper, and perform accounting work with the shopper.

  The POS terminals 3 </ b> A to 3 </ b> D are each connected to a store server 5 via a LAN (Local Area Network) 4. The store server 5 is realized by a computer having a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, a mass storage device (such as a hard disk device), an input device (such as a keyboard and a mouse), and an output device (display). The store server 5 implements a function of controlling data processing related to product sales in the POS terminals 3A to 3D by executing various programs stored in the memory. For example, a master registration function for registering barcodes attached to products and selling prices in association with the POS terminals 3A to 3D, and a POS cash register settlement function for settlement of accounting work for one day executed in the POS terminals 3A to 3D and so on.

  The store server 5 is provided with an operator database 6. The operator database 6 stores data related to operators such as cashiers 2A to 2D and store managers who are permitted to operate the POS terminals 3A to 3D. For example, in association with an operator ID code, which is an operator identification code for identifying each operator, a device-specific code set in an NFC card 30A (to be described later) carried by the operator is stored. ing. Hereinafter, data indicating the correspondence between the operator ID code and the device-specific code is referred to as operator identification data.

  The operation management database 6 stores business codes set in the NFC card 30B (described later) in association with functions to be executed in the POS terminals 3A to 3D. Hereinafter, the data indicating the correspondence between the function executed by the POS terminals 3A to 3D and the business code is referred to as business identification data.

  The NFC card 30B is used for causing the POS terminals 3A to 3D to execute a function for a specific business independently in an emergency when the POS system (or the POS terminals 3A to 3D) cannot perform a normal operation. The operator identification data and the work identification data are transmitted to the POS terminals 3A to 3D through the LAN 4.

Next, the configuration of the POS terminal 3 (POS terminals 3A to 3D) in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the POS terminal 3 in the present embodiment.
The POS terminal 3 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 as a control unit main body. The CPU 11 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a clock unit 14, an I / O (Input / Output) port 25, and a communication interface (I / F) 26 via a bus 28. Connected. The CPU 11 is connected to each controller of the LAN controller 15, keyboard controller 17, display controllers 19 and 21, and printer controller 23 via the bus 28.

  The CPU 11 executes programs stored in the ROM 12 to realize various functions. For example, the CPU 11 realizes a function of controlling near field communication with the NFC cards 30A and 30B via the communication interface 26 (card recognition device 27). In addition, when receiving a code (first code) from the NFC card 30A by proximity wireless communication, the CPU 11 performs control so that a function (first function) set in advance according to the first code can be executed. When a code (second code) is received from the NFC card 30B by the first control function or near field communication, the second function set in advance according to the second code is executed regardless of the control by the first control function. The second control function that can be realized is realized.

  The ROM 12 stores fixed data such as programs in advance. The program stored in the ROM 12 executes a function for authenticating (signing on) an operator at the start of an operation, a function for data processing related to merchandise sales, and an operation designated using an NFC card 30B described later in an emergency. Various programs for realizing functions are included.

  The RAM 13 is formed with various memory areas necessary for processing merchandise sales data. The RAM 13 includes, for example, various data provided from the store server 5, for example, operator identification data or business identification data stored in the operation management database 6, data related to the selling price of goods, and the like. The business identification data is data for causing the POS terminals 3A to 3D to execute the business independently when the POS system (or the POS terminals 3A to 3D) is in an emergency, so that, for example, the network with the store server 5 is disconnected. It is desirable that the data is stored in a non-volatile storage medium or always backed up as necessary so that it does not disappear even when the operation of the POS terminals 3A to 3D is temporarily stopped. .

  The clock unit 14 measures the current date and time. The LAN controller 15 controls data communication with an external device connected via the LAN 4.

  The keyboard controller 17 controls key input of the keyboard 16. The first display controller 19 controls screen display on the operator display 18. The operator display 18 may be a touch panel display. In this case, when the operator performs a touch operation on the button displayed on the operator display 18, the first display controller 19 detects the touched button and notifies the CPU 11.

  The second display controller 21 controls screen display on the customer display 20.

The printer controller 23 controls receipt printing by the printer 22. The printer controller 23 can detect the receipt paper out of the printer 22 and notify the CPU 11 of it.
The I / O port 25 connects an optional device such as a change machine 24, for example. Under the control of the CPU 11, the change machine 24 performs collection of bills and coins, change calculation, change supply, and the like in the accounting process.

  A card recognition device 27 is connected to the communication interface 26. The communication interface 26 inputs the codes recorded on the NFC cards 30A and 30B through the card recognition device 27.

  For example, when the NFC cards 30A and 30B are brought close to within 10 cm, the card recognition device 27 receives the unique code set in the NFC cards 30A and 30B by proximity wireless communication.

  The NFC cards 30A and 30B are portable cards called non-contact IC cards, for example. In this embodiment, the NFC card 30A is given to each employee such as a store manager or a cashier who is permitted to operate the POS terminals 3A to 3D, and also serves as, for example, an identification card. The NFC card 30A is used to sign on before operating the POS terminals 3A to 3D, and stores a device-specific code 31A associated with an operator ID code set for each employee.

  The NFC card 30B is used to cause the POS terminals 3A to 3D to execute a function for a specific business independently when the POS system and the POS terminals 3A to 3D are not normally operable. The NFC card 30B stores a business code 31B that specifies a function to be executed in the POS terminals 3A to 3D. The NFC card 30B is basically used only in an emergency, and is usually stored in an office or the like so that it cannot be used by other employees than the store manager.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of business identification data in the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the business identification data, a specific business code is set in association with each of a plurality of functions 1, 2, 3,... Executed in the POS terminals 3A to 3D. That is, when the business code “xxx1” is received from the NFC card 30B, the POS terminals 3A to 3D can activate or execute “function 1” set for the business code “xxx1” in the business identification data. Transition to the operating state.

  The NFC card 30B is, for example, when the network is disconnected due to the occurrence of a disaster and the entire system does not operate normally, or when the POS terminals 3A to 3D fail and cannot operate normally. Further, it is used in a case where it becomes a situation in which another operator must perform a job that a specific operator (for example, a store manager) should normally perform.

The tasks (functions) that can be executed in the POS terminals 3A to 3D using the NFC card 30B include the following functions (1) to (4), for example.
(1) The business of registering the master of a product with a POS terminal alone in an emergency.
The business for performing the master registration is a business for associating the barcode attached to the product with the selling price and registering it in the POS terminals 3A to 3D. In normal times, this operation is executed by the store manager in the store server 5. On the other hand, when a disaster such as a large earthquake occurs, there is a possibility that a failure occurs in the store server 5 or a failure occurs in communication via the LAN 4. Even in such a situation where the entire POS system does not operate normally, it is necessary to perform a task of registering the selling price of the product in the POS terminal in order to sell the product.

  In such a case, by using the NFC card 30B in which a business code indicating a business for performing product master registration is stored in advance, a function for registering the barcode and the selling price in association with each other in the POS terminals 3A to 3D Can be executed.

(2) Business to stop issuing receipts from POS terminals.
During normal operation, the POS terminals 3A to 3D issue receipts every time they perform accounting for merchandise sales. For this reason, when the receipt sheet runs out, the POS terminals 3A to 3D stop operating and wait for a receipt sheet replenishment (receipt replacement). On the other hand, when a disaster such as a major earthquake occurs, there is a possibility that a situation in which a product is desired to be sold may occur even if the receipt issuance is omitted.

  In such a case, by using the NFC card 30B in which a business code indicating a business for which the receipt issuance is stopped is stored in advance, the POS terminals 3A to 3D execute a function to stop the receipt issuance and perform accounting processing. Thus, the accounting process can be continued with the receipt sheet running out.

(3) Work to carry out the disconnecting operation of the change machine 24.
During normal operation, the POS terminals 3A to 3D perform accounting processing using the change machine 24. In the normal operation, when the change machine 24 breaks down, the change machine 24 is disconnected, repaired, or exchanged by an operation of a dedicated trader who maintains the POS system (POS terminal). Therefore, if the change machine 24 breaks down, the store employees cannot use the POS terminals 3A to 3D. Even when such a normal operation cannot be performed, there is a possibility that the POS terminals 3A to 3D are operated to perform accounting processing.

  In such a case, by using the NFC card 30B in which the business code indicating the business for performing the accounting process by separating the change machine 24 is used in advance, the change machine 24 is separated at the POS terminals 3A to 3D to accommodate, for example, money. The account can be processed using the drawer.

(4) Business for executing POS terminal settlement.
The business for executing the settlement of the POS terminal is, for example, the business of totaling (determining) the daily sales after the end of business. In normal time, when settlement is executed, the POS terminals 3A to 3D shift to a state where they cannot be used until the next day. For this reason, operations that perform payment of POS terminals are restricted so that ordinary store staff cannot operate during normal operation, and control is performed so that only employees with a certain level of authority such as store managers can operate. Is done. However, when there is no store manager in the event of a disaster or an emergency, there is a possibility that the POS terminal needs to be settled.

  In such a case, by using the NFC card 30B in which the business code indicating the business for performing the settlement of the POS terminal is stored in advance, the POS terminals 3A to 3D can replace the store manager who has the authority to perform the original business. Other employees can work.

The NFC card 30B is usually stored in an office or the like so that other employees than the store manager cannot use it. And in the event of a disaster or emergency, a specific NFC card 30B for notifying an employee who operates the POS terminals 3A to 3D from an administrator (store manager, etc.) according to the storage location and situation is notified Is done. Therefore, in the POS system according to the present embodiment, the NFC card 30B can be used as a key for starting a specific job in a specific situation, and the authority management of the specific job (only for the employee who has notified the storage location of the POS terminal) Can also be used to grant authority to use 3A-3D.
The functions (1) to (4) described above are examples, and other functions can be executed in the POS terminals 3A to 3D using the NFC card 30B. In addition, functions (businesses) that can be executed by the NFC card 30B are functions that can be executed if there is an operation authority even during normal operation, and when the NFC card 30B is used in an emergency without starting during normal operation. There is a function that can be executed only in

Next, the operation of the POS terminal 3 (POS terminals 3A to 3D) in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the POS terminal 3 in the present embodiment.

  In the POS system in the present embodiment, an employee who operates the POS terminal 3 performs a sign-on operation in advance during normal operation. In other words, before operating the POS terminal 3, the employee (operator) brings the given NFC card 30 </ b> A close to the card recognition device 27 provided in the POS terminal 3.

  The card recognition device 27 receives the code 31A stored in the NFC card 30A from the adjacent NFC card 30A by proximity wireless communication. The CPU 11 determines whether the code 31A received through the card recognition device 27 is set in preset operator identification data. If there is a code corresponding to the operator identification data, the CPU 11 determines that the sign-on is valid. Further, the CPU 11 performs control so that a preset function can be executed in accordance with an operator ID code corresponding to the corresponding code.

  For example, when it is determined that the operator ID code indicates the store manager (store manager) (ACT A1, Yes), the CPU 11 basically enables the function A including all functions. Further, when it is determined that the operator ID code indicates an employee who supports the store manager's business (ACT A2, Yes), the CPU 11 can execute the function B excluding the function that can be operated only by the store manager (store manager). To. In addition, when it is determined that the operator ID code indicates a part-time job that operates as the cashiers 2A to 2D (ACT A3, Yes), the CPU 11 can execute only the function C for registering the sales data of merchandise and accounting processing. To.

  As described above, in the POS system according to the present embodiment, a function (operation permitted for each employee) is performed by signing on the POS terminal 3 using the NFC card 30A given according to the authority given to each employee. Business) can be executed.

Next, a case where the function of the POS terminal 3 is made executable using the NFC card 30B will be described.
For example, the NFC card 30B (card 1, card 2) stores business codes 31B indicating “function 1” and “function 2” included in the function A that can be executed only by the store manager (store manager). In addition, the NFC card 30B (card 3) stores, for example, a business code 31B indicating “function 3” included in the function B that can be executed by the store clerk.

  In an emergency, for example, an employee acting as a store manager (store manager) brings the NFC card 30B (card 1) notified by the store manager (store manager) close to the card recognition device 27 of the POS terminal 3. .

  The card recognition device 27 receives a business code corresponding to “function 1” stored in the NFC card 30B (card 1) by proximity wireless communication from the adjacent NFC card 30B (card 1). The CPU 11 determines whether or not the business code received through the card recognition device 27 is set in preset business identification data. When it is determined that there is a business code corresponding to the business identification data (ACT B1, Yes), the CPU 11 performs control so that “function 1” corresponding to the business code can be executed. At this time, the CPU 11 enables “function 1” corresponding to the business code to be executed irrespective of the function control according to the sign-on by the NFC card 30A. That is, even if it is signed on by any NFC card 30A given to any employee, it is included in the function A that can be executed only by the store manager (store manager) at normal times by using the NFC card 30B. “Function 1” to be executed. Furthermore, even if no employee is signed on, the CPU 11 omits the operator authentication (sign-on) and receives “function 1” when the business code is received from the NFC card 30B. Can be made executable.

  Similarly, when the NFC card 30B (card 2) is used, the CPU 11 performs control so that “function 2” corresponding to the business code stored in the NFC card 30B (card 2) can be executed. When the NFC card 30B (card 3) is used, the CPU 11 selects “function 3” included in the function B that can be executed by the store clerk corresponding to the business code stored in the NFC card 30B (card 3). Control to be executable. A plurality of NFC cards 30B can be prepared in advance according to each of a plurality of functions required in an emergency.

  Thus, by using the NFC card 30B, it is possible to make the function according to the business code stored in the NFC card 30B executable in the POS terminal 3. Note that when the NFC card 30B is used, a specific function indicated by the business code can be executed. For example, even if “function 1” is included in the function A that can be executed only by the store manager, The other functions included cannot be executed. That is, even if the NFC card 30B is used, the authority to use the POS terminal 3 is not expanded without limitation to other unspecified employees.

  Next, the operation of the POS terminal 3 when a failure occurs in the POS system (or POS terminal 3) will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  For example, it is assumed that the store manager signs on the POS terminal 3 using the NFC card 30A (ACT C1, Yes) and is executing the “function x1” included in the function A (ACT C2). In the normal time, the CPU 11 executes the process of “function x1” in accordance with the operation by the store manager (ACT C2 to C4). The store manager can perform a predetermined operation by the process of “function x1”.

  Here, it is assumed that an abnormality has occurred in the POS terminal 3, for example, before ending the task of “function x1” (ACT C3, No). When the CPU 11 detects the occurrence of an abnormality that cannot continue the normal operation (ACT C4, Yes), the CPU 11 stops the function (ACT C5).

  For example, as described in the functions (2) and (3) described above, when the accounting process cannot be continued due to the receipt paper running out or the change of the change machine 24, the CPU 11 performs the accounting process function. Stop.

Here, for example, when the function is stopped due to the receipt being cut, it is assumed that the NFC card 30B in which the business code indicating the business for which the receipt issuance is stopped is stored is used. In accordance with the business code received from the NFC card 30B, the CPU 11 executes a function “function x2 ” that stops receipt issuance and enables accounting processing (ACT C8), and accounts with the receipt paper running out. Processing continues (ACT C8, C9).

Further, for example, when the function is stopped due to a failure of the change machine 24, it is assumed that the NFC card 30B in which a work code indicating a work for performing accounting processing by cutting the change machine 24 is stored is used. In accordance with the business code received from the NFC card 30B, the CPU 11 executes a function “function x2 ” that enables the accounting process by separating the change machine 24 (ACT C8), and does not use the change machine 24. Continue accounting (ACT C8, C9).

  Thus, even in a situation where processing cannot be continued during normal operation, the processing can be continued by shifting to emergency processing by using the NFC card 30B. Accordingly, even in the event of a disaster such as a large earthquake or a failure of the POS terminal 3, for example, the accounting process can be continued and the product can be sold.

Next, an example in which the POS terminal 3 according to this embodiment is in a state in which a function corresponding to a business code can be executed using the NFC card 30B will be described.
FIG. 6 shows an example of a screen during normal operation displayed on the operator display 18 in the POS terminal 3 in the present embodiment. FIG. 6 shows an example of a registration screen for registering product sales data in the accounting process. The registration screen is provided with a product registration table 44 for displaying the product name, the number and unit price, the total number of purchased products, the total price, etc. regarding the product for which purchase registration has been made. The registration screen name includes a plurality of buttons 42 and 43 in which products are individually set for purchase registration by button operation, a numeric keypad 41 including numeric buttons, and a function selection menu 40 provided with buttons for a plurality of functions. Is included.

  In the function selection menu 40, button items are set in a hierarchical structure. That is, by selecting one of the buttons (for example, “business selection”) by touch operation, a plurality of buttons (for example, a plurality of types of business respectively) set in the next lower layer with respect to the selected button are selected. Corresponding button) is displayed on the function selection menu 40. Similarly, when any one of the buttons is further selected, a plurality of buttons set in the next lower layer are displayed on the function selection menu 40.

  When the business code is received from the NFC card 30B, the POS terminal 3 in the present embodiment additionally displays a button for inputting a function execution instruction corresponding to the business code on the function selection menu 40.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a registration screen in which buttons are additionally displayed on the function selection menu 40 in the present embodiment. In the function selection menu 40 shown in FIG. 7, an “operation 1” button 45 corresponding to a function that can be executed by the NFC card 30B is additionally displayed. Therefore, an employee using the NFC card 30B can easily activate the function for “business 1” by touching the “business 1” button 45.

  That is, in the POS terminal 3 in the normal operation state, when the “business 1” button 45 is set in the lower layer, the “business 1” button 45 is not an employee who has been trained to operate the POS terminal 3. Is displayed on the function selection menu 40 and is difficult to operate. However, in the POS terminal 3 according to the present embodiment, when the NFC card 30B is used, the “service 1” button 45 is additionally displayed on the highest function selection menu 40. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform special training for selecting the “service 1” button 45 and activating the function.

  Further, in the POS terminal 3 according to the present embodiment, a button for starting the function designated by the NFC card 30B is additionally displayed on the function selection menu 40 only when it becomes usable by using the NFC card 30B. You may do it. That is, buttons of functions that are not used in the normal operation state are displayed on the top layer of the function selection menu 40 only when the NFC card 30B is used without providing buttons in any layer.

  In the above description, a button for executing a function that can be executed by using the NFC card 30B is additionally displayed on the function selection menu 40, and the function is activated in response to an operation on the button. Further, when the NFC card 30B is used, the POS terminal 3 according to the present embodiment may automatically activate the function corresponding to the NFC card 30B without any button operation by the operator. That is, when receiving a business code from the NFC card 30B, the CPU 11 determines and activates a function corresponding to the business code, and causes the operator display 18 to display an operation screen for this function. Thereby, even an employee who is not familiar with the operation of the POS terminal 3 (operation with respect to the function selection menu 40) can easily shift to the operation for using the function that can be executed by the NFC card 30B. It becomes possible.

  In the above description, a single NFC card 30B is assumed to store a business code indicating a specific function, but a single NFC card 30B stores a plurality of different business codes. It is also possible to put a plurality of functions together into a state that can be executed in the POS terminal 3 by using one NFC card 30B. In this case, the CPU 11 determines a function corresponding to each of a plurality of different business codes received from the NFC card 30B, and additionally displays a button corresponding to each of the determined functions on the function selection menu 40.

  As described above, by using the NFC card 30B, a function for a specific job can be executed by the POS terminal 3 even if the employee is not an educated employee who spends time on the POS operation. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the burden required for operator education on the POS terminal 3.

  When the NFC card 30B is used, the function corresponding to the business code stored in the NFC card 30B may be executed unconditionally. Only when the corresponding NFC card 30B is used, the function corresponding to the business code stored in the NFC card 30B may be executed.

For example, in the case of “(1) Business for performing product master registration by POS terminal alone in an emergency” described above, the business code indicating the business for performing product master registration when the POS system is not operating normally. When received from the NFC card 30B, the function corresponding to the business code is made executable.

  Therefore, even when the same NFC card 30B is brought close to and the business code is received by the POS terminal 3 when the POS terminal is operating normally, the POS terminal 3 invalidates the business code received from the NFC card 30B. Control is performed so as not to shift to a state where master registration is possible. Thereby, the use of the careless POS terminal 3 using the NFC card 30B can be prevented.
