Further, the product registration means of the product sales system cancels the registration of the product as a product to be sold when the correction information about the product registered as the product to be sold is not acquired in the POS register within the preset time. It is characterized by doing.

In this way, if the correction information is not acquired from the one-dimensional code by the correction information acquisition means within the preset time for the product registered as the product to be sold, the registration as the product to be sold is canceled. Therefore, the convenience of operation of the product sales system is improved.

Moreover, in the one-dimensional code generation means of the product sales system, each information stored in each two-dimensional code attached to a plurality of products is acquired by the information acquisition means, and the plurality of products are registered as products to be sold by the product registration means. When a plurality of one-dimensional codes are registered and a plurality of one-dimensional codes are generated, a single one-dimensional code is generated based on each modification information to be stored in each of the plurality of one-dimensional codes.

In this way, when a plurality of products are registered as products to be sold and a plurality of one-dimensional codes are generated, a single correction information should be stored in each of the plurality of one-dimensional codes. Since the one-dimensional code is generated, the convenience of operating the product sales system is improved.

According to the present invention, a consumer has an opportunity to actually see a product in a store and consider purchasing the product, and when purchasing the product, the consumer reads the two-dimensional code attached to the product and considers the purchase of the product. You can purchase the product by the simple method of obtaining.

The POS register information D5 transmitted to the server 12 was transmitted to the terminal terminal 14 after being associated with the customer information D2 of the user 3 of the smartphone 11 from which the modified product information D4 was acquired, and was registered as a product to be sold. The product 2 is processed by the computer 14a as a payment completed product.

When the product is processed as a payment completed product, the worker of the distribution center 4 to which the terminal terminal 14 is deployed performs the delivery processing for the product 2 based on the customer information D2 of the user 3.

When the POS register information D5 is transmitted to the server 12, the control unit 12b accesses the customer database 12e, and the customer information D2 of the user 3 of the smartphone 11 from which the modified product information D4 has been acquired is referred to to confirm the delivery destination. Data D6 is generated.

The generated delivery destination confirmation data D6 is transmitted to the smartphone 11 of the user 3 by the transmission interface 12f of the server 12. As a result, the user 3 can confirm that the payment for the product 2 has been completed.

On the other hand, the user 3 does not scan the one-dimensional code 21 displayed on the display of the smartphone 11 in the scanner 13b of the POS register 13, and a preset time (for example, 12) after the one-dimensional code display information D3 is generated. When the time has passed, the POS register information D5 is not input from the POS register 13 to the control unit 12b of the server 12.

In this case, the product registration program 12c generates the product registration cancellation information D7'for canceling the registration as the product to be sold, and transmits the product registration cancellation information D7'to the terminal terminal 14 via the transmission interface 12f.

When the product registration cancellation information D7'is transmitted to the terminal terminal 14, in the present embodiment, the registration of the products "A", "B" and "C" registered in the inventory database 14b as planned sales products is canceled. Will be done.

As described above, in the product sales system 10 of the present embodiment, the user 3 looks at the actual product 2 and examines whether or not to purchase the product 2, and when purchasing the product 2, attaches the product 2 to the product 2. By reading the two-dimensional code 20 with the two-dimensional code reader 11a, the product 2 can be registered as a product to be sold.

When registered as a product to be sold, the one-dimensional code display information D3 is generated by the one-dimensional code generation program 12d, and the one-dimensional code 21 is displayed on the display of the smartphone 11 of the user 3.

When the displayed one-dimensional code 21 is scanned in the POS register 13, the product 2 is subjected to the delivery process as a payment completed product, while the delivery destination confirmation data D6 is generated and transmitted to the smartphone 11 of the user 3. .. As a result, the user 3 can confirm that the payment for the product 2 has been completed.

Therefore, the user 3 has an opportunity to actually see the product 2 at the store 1 and consider the purchase of the product 2, and when purchasing the product 2, the user 3 reads the two-dimensional code 20 attached to the product 2 and primary. The product 2 can be purchased by a simple method of obtaining the original code 21.

Since the product 2 is delivered from the distribution center 4 to the user 3, the time and effort for the user 3 to bring back the product 2 by himself / herself is omitted.

On the other hand, since the modified product information D4 stored in the one-dimensional code 21 is configured by adding the serial number information d3 to the product information D1 in the present embodiment, the product 2 sold to the user 3 can be stored. It can be grasped in units of serial numbers attached to product 2.

Therefore, since the distribution channel of the product 2 can be clarified, the product 2 can be erroneously collected, such as accepting an erroneous return of the product 2 or erroneously collecting the product 2 when a defect is detected in the product 2 and a recall is made. Misprocessing of the above is suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the product 2 registered as the product to be sold is sold when the modified product information D4 is not acquired without scanning the one-dimensional code 21 by the POS register 13 within a preset time. Registration as a planned product is canceled.

Moreover, when a plurality of products 2 are registered as products to be sold and a plurality of one-dimensional codes 21 are generated, based on each modified product information D4 to be stored in each of the plurality of one-dimensional codes 21.
