  The CPU 10 serving as a control unit reads a system program stored in the storage unit 14, develops it in the work area of the RAM 13, and controls each unit according to the system program. In addition, the CPU 10 reads out the processing program 141 stored in the storage unit 14, develops it in the work area, and executes various processes. For example, the CPU 10 executes a registration process for registering sales data based on the contents of settings described later stored in the RAM 13. That is, the CPU 10 functions as a registration unit.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the input unit 11 includes a numeric keypad 111, a department key 112, a flat PLU key 113, a deposit key 114, a withdrawal key 115, a credit key 116, a ticket key 117, a cash deposit key 118, a subtotal key 119, A registration confirmation key 120, a money amount key 121, a multiplication key 122, a connection key 123, and the like are provided.

The flat PLU key 113 is composed of a plurality of keys associated with PLU numbers. The PLU number is an identification number assigned to identify a product or transaction item (cash sales, credit, gift certificate sales, etc.). Each flat PLU key 113 displays the name of a product or the name of a transaction item corresponding to the PLU number. For example, since the PLU number 145 is a number for identifying the transaction item “cash sales”, the characters “cash sales” are displayed on the flat PLU key 113 corresponding to the PLU number 145. When one of the flat PLU keys 113 is pressed, the PLU number corresponding to the flat PLU key 113 is input.
A deposit key 114, a withdrawal key 115, a credit key 116, a ticket key 117, and a cash deposit key 118 are keys for inputting a transaction classification (withdrawal, deposit, credit, gift certificate, cash).
The subtotal key 119 is a key for inputting an instruction for calculating the total of the registered sales amounts after the registration of the product is completed. The registration confirmation key 120 is a key for inputting an instruction to shift to the journal entry process.

  The input unit 11 also includes a mode switch 124. The mode switch 124 is a switch for switching the operation mode of the sales data processing apparatus 1 to any one of a registration mode, an inspection mode, a checkout mode, a setting mode, an OFF mode, and a return mode. The mode switch 124 outputs a signal corresponding to the position of the switch to the CPU 10. The CPU 10 switches the mode according to the signal output from the mode switch 124. That is, the CPU 10 functions as mode switching means for switching to any of a plurality of types of modes. The registration mode is a mode for registering sales data of purchased commodities. The payment mode is a mode in which the daily sales data is settled. The setting mode is a mode for changing various settings for registering sales data. The return mode is a mode for performing return processing.

  Furthermore, the input unit 11 includes a barcode reader, a barcode scanner, or the like that reads a barcode provided on a product.

  The display unit 12 includes an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like. Various screens are displayed on the display unit 12 in accordance with instructions of display signals input from the CPU 10.

  The storage unit 14 includes a semiconductor nonvolatile memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory). The storage unit 14 stores a system program executed by the CPU 10, a processing program 141, data necessary for executing these programs, and the like. These programs are stored in the storage unit 14 in the form of computer-readable program codes. The CPU 10 sequentially executes operations according to the program code. The storage unit 14 stores a PLU initial setting file 142. In this PLU initial setting file 142, initial data of various settings for registering sales data is described. In the present embodiment, the PLU initial setting file 142 is expanded in the RAM 13 and used, so that the factory default settings can be obtained.

  The RAM 13 as the first storage means has a work area for temporarily storing the system program and processing program 141 read from the storage unit 14 by the CPU 10, input data, output data, parameters, and the like. The RAM 13 includes a totalizer for summing and storing sales data for each department, for each person in charge (store clerk), for each transaction (cash, card, gift certificate, etc.). Further, in the present embodiment, the RAM 13 has a work area for expanding a PLU initial setting file 142 read from the storage unit 14 and a backup file 190a read from a memory card 190 described later. It is possible to make the setting file expanded to function as the PLU setting file 131. Various settings described in the PLU setting file 131 can be changed in the setting mode.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a data configuration example of the PLU setting file 131 expanded in the RAM 13. As shown in FIG. 3, the PLU setting file 131 includes “PLU number”, “name (product name or transaction item name)”, “sorting code”, “unit price”, “taxing method”, “product number PLU”, etc. Items are provided. That is, in the PLU setting file 131, a sorting code for specifying setting information relating to a product identified by the PLU number or sorting pattern information of a transaction item identified by the PLU number in association with the “PLU number”. Etc. are stored.

In FIG. 3, each of PLU numbers 001 (1) to 144 stores setting information relating to the product identified by the PLU number in association with each other. For example, setting information (“unit price”, “taxing method”, “department link”, etc.) for “menu A” is stored in association with PLU number 001 (1). Each of the PLU numbers 145 to 160 stores a journal code for specifying the journal pattern information of the transaction item identified by the PLU number in association with each other. For example, in the PLU number 145, “journal code” for specifying the journal pattern information of “cash sales” is stored in association with each other.
Further, the PLU setting file 131 describes a unique setting file name, setting type, and setting date and time.
The setting type is a setting “1” indicating that the setting is a daily menu setting, a setting “2” indicating that the campaign is an irregular menu or a seasonal menu setting, and a setting change of the regular menu. It is selected from any of the setting “3” shown.
The setting date / time indicates the date / time when the PLU setting file is set in the sales data processing apparatus 1. The setting file name, setting type, and setting date / time can be appropriately changed by the user.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the sales data processing device 1 is installed in a restaurant, coffee shop, or other restaurant store, so the menus A to J stored in the “name” of the PLU setting file 131 are assumed. Represents the name of a dish or drink in a restaurant.

  The communication unit 15 includes a modem, a router, a network card, and the like. The communication unit 15 performs data transmission / reception with an external device connected via a communication network.

  The printing unit 16 is, for example, a thermal printer (thermal printer), and has receipt and journal roll paper (thermal paper). According to an instruction signal input from the CPU 10, the amount of money and sales for the roll paper is obtained. Print out data.

  The drawer 17 is a drawer that stores cash such as coins and banknotes. The drawer 17 is opened by the instruction of the CPU 10.

  The time measuring unit 18 as time information output means incorporates a time measuring circuit such as RTC (Real Time Clock) and outputs date information indicating the current date to the CPU 10.

  The memory card reader / writer 19 is a reader / writer device that has a throttle into which the memory card 190 is inserted, and performs reading and writing with respect to the storage area of the memory card 190 inserted into the throttle.

The memory card 190 as the second storage means is a portable recording medium including a nonvolatile memory that can store and retain data contents and can be freely read and written even when power supply is cut off. As the memory card 190, for example, an SD memory card is applicable. Although the memory card 190 is described as an example of a recording medium applicable in the present embodiment, any portable recording medium can be applied, for example, CD-R (Compact Disk-Recordable), DVD-R. (Digital Versatile Disk-Recordable), portable flash memory, and the like. In addition to the portable recording medium described above, a magnetic disk such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a semiconductor memory such as an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), or the like can also be applied.
The memory card 190 can store the backup data of the PLU setting file 131 stored in the RAM 13 as a backup file 190a. The memory card 190 can store a plurality of backup files 190a.

  In this embodiment, since the backup file 190a is stored in the memory card 190 as a portable recording medium, for example, when the sales data processing apparatus 1 in a store is replaced, the sales data used before the replacement is replaced. Since the contents of the setting of the processing device 1 can be easily reflected in the sales data processing device 1 after replacement, the convenience is enhanced. Further, when a plurality of sales data processing devices 1 are used in a store, the contents set in one sales data processing device 1 can be easily reflected in other sales data processing devices 1. Increases nature.

  Next, a setting mode control process executed by the CPU 10 of the sales data processing apparatus 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. The setting mode control process is a process executed when the mode is switched to the setting mode by the mode switch 124, for example.

  First, the CPU 10 executes a setting change process for changing various settings in the PLU setting file 131 stored in the RAM 13 (step S101). In other words, the CPU 10 functions as a setting change unit that changes the setting content stored in the first storage unit.

  Then, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the setting mode has ended (step S102). Specifically, the CPU 10 determines that the setting mode has been completed when the mode switch 124 has switched the setting mode to another mode.

  If the CPU 10 does not determine that the setting mode has ended (step S102: N), it executes the process of step S101. On the other hand, when determining that the setting mode has ended (step S102: Y), the CPU 10 determines whether or not the setting content in the PLU setting file 131 has been changed (step S103).

  When the CPU 10 determines that the setting content in the PLU setting file 131 has been changed (step S103: Y), the CPU 10 generates a time stamp based on the date and time information output from the time measuring unit 18, and the PLU setting after the setting change It is stored in the RAM 13 in association with the file 131 (step S104). On the other hand, when the CPU 10 does not determine that the setting content in the PLU setting file 131 has been changed (step S103: N), the CPU 10 executes the process of step S105 without executing the process of step S104.

  Next, the CPU 10 compares the time stamp in the backup file 190a stored in the memory card 190 with the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S105). This time stamp comparison is performed for each of all backup files 190a stored in the memory card 190.

  As a result of comparing the time stamps, the CPU 10 determines whether there is a backup file 190a having a time stamp that matches the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S106).

  When the CPU 10 does not determine that there is a backup file 190a having a time stamp that matches the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S106: N), the PLU setting file 131 stored in the RAM 13 has the latest setting. It is determined that the file is a file, and a backup file creation confirmation display is displayed on the display unit 12 to accept whether or not the user is permitted to create the backup file (step S107). At this time, if the memory card 190 is not inserted in the memory card reader / writer 19, a warning to that effect may be displayed on the display unit 12.

  The CPU 10 determines whether or not to create a backup file in response to a user operation on the input unit 11 (step S108). When the CPU 10 determines to create a backup file (step S108: Y), it creates a backup file based on the PLU setting file 131 stored in the RAM 13 and stores it in the memory card 190 (step S109). The process ends. When creating the backup file, the CPU 10 creates header information as shown in FIG. 5 for each file, for example. The CPU 10 stores the created backup file and header information in the memory card 190 in association with each other. The header information includes a setting file name, a setting type, a setting date and time, and a time stamp. The time stamp included in the header information is the time stamp acquired in step S104. Thereby, it is possible to grasp the date and time when the PLU setting file 131 whose settings were changed was backed up. On the other hand, when the CPU 10 does not determine in step S108 to create a backup file, that is, when the user performs an operation not permitting creation of the backup file (step S108: N), the process of step S109 is performed. This process is terminated without executing.

  If the CPU 10 determines in step S106 that there is a backup file 190a having a time stamp that matches the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S106: Y), the contents of the setting in the PLU setting file 131 Assuming that no change has been made, this processing is terminated without executing the processing in steps S107 to S109.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the mode switching is performed by the mode switching unit, the CPU 10 stores the backup data of the setting contents stored in the first storage unit in the second storage unit. It functions as backup means for storing.

  According to the present embodiment, by configuring as described above, the latest setting can be automatically backed up by switching the mode after the setting is changed. This can be omitted, and convenience can be improved. In addition, it is possible to prevent a human error that the user forgets to back up the changed setting.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 is compared with the time stamp in the backup file 190a, and if the setting is changed if it is different, the backup is performed. The user can easily obtain the backup data of the PLU setting file 131 which is the latest setting contents without having to check each time whether the setting contents are backed up. In addition, it is possible to suppress unnecessary execution of backup such as performing backup for the PLU setting file 131 having the same setting contents as the backup file 190a, thereby improving processing efficiency.

  Next, the adjustment mode control process will be described with reference to FIG. The settlement mode control process is a process that is executed when the mode switch 124 switches to the settlement mode, for example.

  First, the CPU 10 determines whether or not to execute a settlement process (step S201). Specifically, execution of the settlement process is determined by performing a predetermined settlement operation on the input unit 11 of the user.

  When the CPU 10 determines that the settlement process is to be executed (step S201: Y), the CPU 10 executes a settlement process for performing settlement of the registered sales data (step S202). In the settlement process, for example, a sales report for each product is created based on the contents of the totalizer in the RAM 13 and displayed on the display unit 12, and printed out by the printing unit 16. When the checkout process is completed, the CPU 10 clears the contents of the totalizer in the RAM 13. On the other hand, when it is not determined that the settlement process is to be executed (step S201: N), the CPU 10 repeatedly executes the process of step S201 until it is determined that the settlement process is to be performed.

  Next, the CPU 10 compares the time stamp in the backup file 190a stored in the memory card 190 with the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S203).

  As a result of comparing the time stamps, the CPU 10 determines whether there is a backup file 190a having a time stamp that matches the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S204).

  When the CPU 10 does not determine that there is a backup file 190a having a time stamp that matches the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S204: N), the CPU 10 displays a backup file creation confirmation display on the display unit 12. Then, it is accepted whether or not to allow the user to create a backup file (step S205). Here, when the time stamp in the backup file 190a stored in the memory card 190 does not match the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131, for example, the setting is changed in the setting mode control process described above. Nevertheless, it can occur when a backup file is not created.

  The CPU 10 determines whether or not to create a backup file in response to a user operation on the input unit 11 (step S206). When the CPU 10 determines to create a backup file (step S206: Y), it creates a backup file based on the PLU setting file 131 stored in the RAM 13 and stores it in the memory card 190 (step S207). The process ends. On the other hand, when the CPU 10 does not determine to create the backup file, that is, when the user performs an operation not permitting the creation of the backup file (step S206: N), the process of step S207 is not executed. This process is terminated.

  If the CPU 10 determines in step S204 that there is a backup file having a time stamp that matches the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131 (step S204: Y), the setting contents of the PLU setting file 131 are displayed. Assuming that no change has been made, this process is terminated without executing the processes of steps S205 to S207.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when various settings are changed in the PLU setting file 131 or when the settlement process is performed, the PLU setting file 131 after the setting change can be automatically backed up. As a result, work hours can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to prevent a human error that the user forgets to back up despite changing the setting.

  Next, backup automatic return processing will be described with reference to FIG. The backup automatic return processing is, for example, interrupt processing executed every predetermined time (for example, 1 minute).

  First, the CPU 10 obtains date and time information from the time measuring unit 18, refers to the set date and time of the header information stored in the memory card 190, and searches for a backup file including the set date and time that matches the obtained date and time information (step S301). Note that the backup file whose header information stored in the memory card 190 is set to the day of the week is a search target in the automatic backup restoration process that is executed first after the sales data processing apparatus 1 is activated.

  As a result of the search, the CPU 10 determines whether or not the corresponding backup file is stored in the memory card 190 (step S302).

  When it is determined that the corresponding backup file is stored in the memory card 190 (step S302: Y), the CPU 10 determines whether or not the backup file 190a is read from the memory card 190 and expanded in the RAM 13. (Step S303). Specifically, the CPU 10 determines that the backup file is to be read by performing a predetermined operation on the input unit 11, for example.

  When the CPU 10 determines that the backup file is to be read from the memory card 190 (step S303: Y), the CPU 10 reads the backup file 190a from the memory card 190 and expands the RAM 13 as the PLU setting file 131 (step S304). This process ends. On the other hand, when the CPU 10 does not determine that the backup file is to be read from the memory card 190 (step S303: N), the process is terminated without executing the process of step S304.

  If the CPU 10 does not determine in step S302 that the corresponding backup file is stored in the memory card 190 (step S302: N), the CPU 10 executes this process without executing the processes in steps S303 and S304. finish.

  If there are a plurality of extracted backup files as a result of the search in step S302, for example, when the backup file is read, the display unit 12 displays that there are a plurality of backup files extracted as a search result. . Then, the user can select a backup file to be expanded in the RAM 13 by operating the input unit 11. Alternatively, when a priority is set for each backup file and there are a plurality of extracted backup files as a result of the search, a file with a higher priority may be selected as a backup file to be developed in the RAM 13. .

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the set time included in the setting content in the backup data stored in the second storage unit is reached, the CPU 10 changes the setting content in the backup data to the second data. It functions as a backup recovery means that reads out from the storage means and stores it in the first storage means.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the RAM 13 stores the contents of various settings for registering sales data. The CPU 10 registers sales data based on the contents of the settings stored in the RAM 13. The CPU 10 changes the setting contents stored in the RAM 13. The CPU 10 switches to one of a plurality of types of modes. The memory card 190 stores backup data of the setting contents stored in the RAM 13. When the mode is switched, the CPU 10 stores backup data of the setting contents stored in the RAM 13 in the memory card 190. As a result, when the setting content is changed, the mode can be switched to ensure that the backup is performed, so that the forgotten backup of the changed setting content can be prevented. In addition, since the backup can be automatically performed by switching the mode, it is possible to save the trouble of manual backup and to improve the convenience. In addition, it is possible to prevent a human error that the user forgets to back up the changed setting.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the CPU 10 stores the backup file of the setting contents stored in the RAM 13 in the memory card 190 when the CPU 10 is switched to the payment mode for performing the sales data payment process. As a result, since the backup can be automatically performed in response to the execution of the settlement process, the business hours can be shortened.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the CPU 10 changes the setting content stored in the RAM 13 when the mode is switched to the setting mode among the plural types of modes. When the CPU 10 is switched from the setting mode to another mode, the CPU 10 stores a backup file of the setting contents stored in the RAM 13 in the memory card 190. As a result, backup is automatically performed when the setting is changed and switched from the setting mode to another mode, so it is more reliably prevented that you forget to back up even if the setting is changed. can do.

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, the time measuring part 18 outputs the date information which can pinpoint the present | current time. The CPU 10 acquires the date and time information output from the time measuring unit 18 when the setting content is changed, and stores it in the RAM 13 together with the changed setting content. The CPU 10 compares the time stamp stored together with the setting contents in the RAM 13 with the time stamp included in the backup file 190a stored in the memory card 190, and if it does not match, the setting stored in the RAM 13 And the time stamp are stored in the memory card 190 as backup data. As a result, the user can easily acquire backup data of the latest setting contents without having to confirm each time whether or not the contents of the latest settings have been backed up, thereby improving convenience. In addition, unnecessary backup execution such as backup of the same setting contents can be suppressed, and the processing efficiency is improved.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the memory card 190 is a portable recording medium and includes the memory card reader / writer 19 that reads and writes data from and to the memory card 190, so that backup data can be carried out. For example, when replacing a sales data processing device in a store, the settings of the sales data processing device used before the replacement can be easily reflected in the sales data processing device after replacement. In addition, for example, when a plurality of sales data processing devices are used in a store, the contents set in one sales data processing device can be easily reflected in other sales data processing devices. Becomes higher.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the setting date and time included in the setting contents in the backup file 190 a stored in the memory card 190 is reached, the CPU 10 displays the setting contents in the backup file 190 a. Is stored in the RAM 13. As a result, the settings created in advance can be automatically set when the preset time is reached, making it easy to change settings and improving convenience. Can do.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the memory card 190 is a non-volatile recording medium capable of storing and retaining data contents even when power supply is interrupted, and therefore it is possible to prevent backup data from being lost. it can.

  In addition, the description content in the said embodiment is a suitable example of the sales data processing apparatus which concerns on this invention, and is not limited to this.

  In the present embodiment, the backup file 190a is automatically expanded from the memory card 190 to the RAM 13 by periodically executing the automatic backup recovery process. However, the automatic backup recovery function is made to function by the user. It may be possible to select whether or not. Further, the automatic backup recovery process may not be provided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the date and time information indicating the current date and time is output by the time measuring unit 18; however, at least time information capable of specifying the time may be output.

  In this embodiment, when the setting mode is switched to another mode and when the other mode is switched to the settlement mode, the changed setting in the PLU setting file 131 is backed up. It may be performed only when the setting mode is switched to another mode. Further, backup may be performed only when switching from the other mode to the settlement mode.

Further, in the present embodiment, by comparing the time stamp in the backup file 190a stored in the memory card 190 with the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131, the setting contents in the PLU setting file 131 are the latest. Although it is determined whether or not it is a thing, it may be determined whether or not the setting contents in the PLU setting file 131 are the latest by other methods.
In the present embodiment, the time stamp in the backup file 190a stored in the memory card 190 is compared with the time stamp corresponding to the PLU setting file 131, and a backup file is created if they do not match. However, a backup file may be created whenever the mode is switched without comparing the time stamps.

  In this embodiment, when creating a backup file, the user is permitted to create a backup file. However, the backup file is not provided with a function for accepting whether to create a backup file. May be.
