Description

The present invention relates to a product registration processing device for registering and selling products.

Conventionally, for example, in a store that has a store in the side dish section of a department store, before selling the product to be sold, the label of the product outside the sales period is submitted to the department store and the label of the product is confirmed. There is a need to do. Therefore, it is necessary for the product registration processing device (for example, a label printer or a measuring instrument) to issue a label for a product outside the sales period.
However, if the label of the product outside the sales period can be issued, there is a risk that the issued label outside the sales period may be mistakenly attached to the product during the sales period. In addition, when the label of a product outside the sales period is provisionally issued, there is a risk that the product may be registered by mistake.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a label printer (also a measuring instrument) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this label printer 1, if the product is a weighed product (a product whose price differs depending on the weight, an indefinite product), the product is weighed and priced, and then the product is a non-weighed product (the price of one product is fixed). In the case of a product, a fixed product), it is a product registration processing device that registers the product and issues a label after designating the product.

As shown in the figure, the label printer 1 is configured by installing a measuring plate (mounting unit) 13 on the upper surface of the main body 11 and installing a display and operation unit 15 on the front side of the main body 11. There is. A label issuing port 17 is provided at a predetermined position (one corner portion) on the outer peripheral side wall of the main body portion 11. A display operation surface 19 and a numeric keypad input unit 21 are provided on the surface of the display and operation unit 15.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block diagram of the label printer 1. As shown in the figure, the label printer 1 includes a CPU (control unit) 31 that controls the operation of the label printer 1, a hard disk 33 that transfers and stores information stored in the RAM (storage unit) 37, and a CPU 31. A ROM 35 for storing a program executed by the printer, a RAM 37 for storing various information, an operation unit 39 for operating the label printer 1, an issuing means 41 for printing and issuing a label, and a display means 43 for displaying various information. A communication unit 45 that communicates with other devices, and a weighing unit 47 that weighs a product to be sold by weight using a load cell are provided. Each component is connected to each other via a bus. The display and display operation surface 19 of the operation unit 15 shown in FIG. 1 is composed of a liquid crystal touch panel, and is a display means 43 and an operation unit 39. The numeric keypad input unit 21 shown in FIG. 1 is an operation unit 39.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a product file 50 stored in the RAM 37. As shown in the figure, the product file 50 includes various information such as a product code (product identification information), a product name, a unit price, a sales start date, a sales end date, raw materials, a processing date and time, and a consumption date and time of each product. There is. Here, the "unit price" indicates, for example, the unit price per 100 g in the case of a weighed product, and the price of one unit (one piece, one pack, etc.) in the case of a non-weighed product. The sales start date and the sales end date refer to the sales start date and the sales end date at the store predetermined for each product. Although not shown, the product file 50 may further store the tare weight, storage method, nutritional components, food additives, calorific value, and the like.

FIG. 4 is an operation flow diagram showing an example of the processing executed by the label printer 1. The process shown in this figure is realized by the CPU 31 executing a program stored in the ROM 35. First, the registration screen G1 as shown in FIG. 5, for example, is displayed on the display operation surface 19 of the label printer 1 (step ST1). FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the registration screen G1 displayed on the display operation surface 19. As shown in the figure, the registration screen G1 has a product selection button G11 displaying a plurality of selectable products, a selected product display field G12, a tare weight display field G13, a product number display field G14, a product weight display field G15, and contents. The quantity display column G16, the unit price display column G17, the price display column G18, the page switching button G19, the pre-sale label button G20, and the like are displayed.

Next, if any product selection button G11 on the registration screen G1 is touched (pressed) with a finger, that product is selected (step ST2). At this time, if the selected product is a weighing product, the process proceeds from step ST3 to step ST4, for example, a pop-up screen (not shown) is displayed on the registration screen G1 and the product is placed on the weighing pan 13. Prompt and weigh the placed products. At the same time, the selected product name is displayed in the selected product display column G12, and the numerical values by weighing or the like are also displayed in the other columns G13 to G18. On the other hand, if the selected product is a non-weighed product, the process directly shifts from step ST3 to step ST5, the product is not weighed, the selected product is displayed in the selected product display column G12, and the other columns G13 to G18. Also display the required numerical values.

Next, in step ST5, it is identified whether or not the selected product is a product within the sales period. For the identification, the data of the "sales start date" (in some cases, the "sales end date") in the product file 50 is used. Here, the CPU 31 and the program or the like for executing the identification process are identification means for identifying whether or not the product is within the sales period. Then, in the case of a product within the sales period (for example, when the product "fried chicken" is selected), the process proceeds to step ST13, the product is registered, and the registration data is stored in the RAM 37. Then, for example, the screen G2 as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display operation surface 19 (step ST7), and the label image G21 to be printed is displayed. Then, when the label issuing button G22 on the screen G2 is touched (step ST8), the label R1 similar to the label image G21 is printed by the issuing means 41 and issued from the label issuing port 17 (step ST9). FIG. 9A is a diagram showing an example of the issued label R1. The sales period may be printed at a predetermined position (for example, the upper part of the barcode) on the label R1.

On the other hand, when the product is identified as a product before the sales period (for example, when the product "Saba no Teriyaki" is selected), the process proceeds from step ST5 to step ST6, for example, before sales shown in FIG. The label print confirmation screen G3 is displayed on the display operation surface 19. In FIG. 7, the print confirmation screen G3 is displayed as a pop-up screen in the following non-sales period product list display screen G5, but the print confirmation screen G3 is displayed as a pop-up screen in the registration screen G1. Of course, the print confirmation screen G3 may be displayed on the entire display operation surface 19 instead of the pop-up screen. On this print confirmation screen G3, there is a pre-sales label issuance confirmation display G31 such as "Do you want to print the pre-sale label? Part number 013 Saba no Teriyaki", a yes button (print permission button) G33, and a no button (printing is not possible). Button) G35 is displayed. Then, when the no button G35 is touched, the screen returns to the original registration screen G1 (this flow is not shown). On the other hand, when the Yes button G33 is touched, for example, the screen G4 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display operation surface 19 (step ST7), and the label image G41 to be printed is displayed. Then, when the label issuing button G42 on the screen G4 is touched (step ST8), the label R2 similar to the label image G41 is printed by the issuing means 41 and issued from the label issuing port 17 (step ST9).

FIG. 9B is a diagram showing an example of the issued label R2. As shown in the figure, the label R2 clearly indicates that the label R2 is a label of a product identified as being out of the sales period by the identification means with respect to the label of the product within the sales period. On the upstream side of the label R2, in the case of this example, a clear out-of-sales period display R23 indicating that the product is out of the sales period is printed on the product name R21 so as to be identifiable. That is, as the non-sales period display R23, the display of "pre-sales test print" is performed in large characters and in white characters. Further, the non-sales period display R23 may be displayed in a color different from other parts such as red. The out-of-sale display R23 may be printed on the downstream side of the label R2 (for example, the lower end portion of the label R2). By printing the out-of-sale display R23 on the upstream or downstream side of the label R2 or in a prominent position (a position that is easily noticed by the operator) such as above the product name, there is no risk of overlooking the out-of-sale display R23. .. By configuring the label R2 in this way, it is possible to reliably prevent the label R2 from being accidentally attached to the product. That is, for example, before selling a product to be sold, it may be necessary to issue it in order to confirm what kind of label is attached to the product, whether the product is correctly printed, and the like. On the other hand, since this type of label is issued even though there is no product yet, there is a risk of causing problems such as accidentally attaching a label outside the issued sales period to the product during the sales period. However, since the label R2 is displayed outside the sales period R23, it is possible to prevent the risk of accidentally attaching the label R2 to the product during the sales period.

On the other hand, if the pre-sale label button G20 is pressed without pressing the product selection button G11 on the registration screen G1 displayed in step ST1 (step ST2 → step ST10), the sales period as shown in FIG. 10 The external product list display screen G5 is displayed on the display operation surface 19 (step ST11). The non-sales period product list display screen G5 is a screen of a list displaying all the products outside the sales period identified by the identification means. On the non-sales period product list display screen G5, for each non-sales period product, whether or not a pre-sales label has been issued, a sales start date, or the like may be displayed. Then, by touching the desired product selection button G51 (for example, the product "Saba no Teriyaki") in the product list display screen G5 outside the sales period (step ST12), as shown in FIG. 7, the product list display screen outside the sales period The print confirmation screen G3 is displayed as a pop-up screen during G5 (step ST6). Of course, as described above, the print confirmation screen G3 may be displayed on the entire display operation surface 19 instead of the pop-up screen. The following steps (steps ST7 to ST9) are the same as in the above case. That is, when the no button G35 displayed on the print confirmation screen G3 is touched, the screen returns to the original non-sales period product list display screen G5 (this flow is not shown). On the other hand, when the Yes button G33 is touched, for example, the screen G4 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display operation surface 19 (step ST7), and the label image G41 to be printed is displayed. Then, when the label issuing button G42 on the screen G4 is touched (step ST8), the label R2 (see FIG. 9B) similar to the label image G41 is printed by the issuing means 41 and issued from the label issuing port 17. (Step ST9).

As described above, the label of the product identified as being out of the sales period by the identification means is identifiablely issued to the label of the product identified as being within the sales period. It is possible to effectively prevent the label of the product outside the period from being accidentally attached to the product.

Further, in the above embodiment, in step ST5, only the products within the sales period are registered (step ST13) and the label is issued (step ST9), and the products outside the sales period are not registered from step ST5. (By moving to step ST6), and once prohibiting the issuance of the label, it is possible to move to step ST7 and issue the label only when it is desired to be issued (by pressing the Yes button G33). .. This means that the non-sales period product registration prohibition means (CPU 31 and programs that execute ST5 to ST6, etc.) that prohibit the registration of products outside the sales period and the sales period that prohibits the issuance of labels for products outside the sales period. The CPU 31 and the program that execute the non-product issuance prohibition means (pressing the No button G35 in step ST6) and the issuance permission means (the yes button G33 in step ST6) that permits the issuance of the label of the product outside the sales period. It is configured to have a CPU 31 for executing a press and a program, etc.). As a result, it is possible to prevent the registration of products outside the sales period. At the same time, since the label of the product outside the sales period is issued by performing the operation of permitting, the label is issued after making the operator more surely recognize that the label is the product outside the sales period. be able to.

Further, as described above, in the above-described embodiment, the display means 43 further includes means (CPU 31 for executing step ST11, a program, etc.) for displaying the products identified by the identification means outside the sales period. This makes it easy to recognize what is in the product outside the sales period. Further, it is possible to easily print a desired label from the displayed list display.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the product selection buttons G11 for both the product outside the sales period and the product within the sales period are simultaneously displayed on the registration screen G1 in step ST1, but for example, the product of the product outside the sales period. The display mode such as the color of the selection button G11 and the display mode such as the color of the product selection button G11 of the product during the sales period may be different so that the difference between the two can be seen at a glance. At this time, for example, when the color of the product selection button G11 of the product outside the sales period is displayed in gray and cannot be pressed even if it is touched, for example, when the pre-sales label button G20 is pressed, the color is displayed in gray. The product selection button G11 can be pressed, and the label of the product outside the sales period may be issued from the button. In such a case, the pre-sales label button G20 serves as an issuance permission means for permitting the issuance of labels for products outside the sales period. Also, if you do not want to display the product outside the sales period on the product selection button G11 (or display it but do not press it) and want to print the label of the product outside the sales period, be sure to press the pre-sale label button G20. By doing so, it may be configured to display the product list display screen G5 outside the sales period. In this case, the process of step ST5 shown in FIG. 4 is omitted, and all steps from step ST4 to step ST13 are performed. Further, in the above embodiment, the label image G21 or G41 to be printed is displayed in step ST7, but step ST7 may be omitted and the label image G21 or G41 to be printed may not be displayed.

Further, in the label R2 shown in FIG. 9B, since the non-sales period display R23 is displayed on the upstream side (near the upper end) of the label R2, it is easy for the operator to see, and thus the operator is out of the sales period. Although it is possible to reliably convey that the label is a product, even if the non-sales period display R23 is displayed on the downstream side (near the lower end) of the label R2, it is also easy for the operator to see, and this also makes it easier for the operator to see. Can be surely told that the label is for a product that is out of the sales period. Further, like the label R2, the non-sales period display R23 may be displayed above (directly above) the product name R21 in the label R2. Even if the display is performed in this way, the non-sales period display R23 becomes easily noticeable to the operator who confirms the product name, whereby it is possible to reliably inform the operator that the label is the product outside the sales period. Further, in the above example, by displaying the non-sales period display R23 on the label R2, the label of the product identified as being out of the sales period by the identification means is displayed on the product label identified as being within the sales period. Although it is made identifiable, both may be identifiable by various other methods such as changing the color of the entire label or printing a special mark separately.

In the above embodiment, in step ST5 shown in FIG. 4, that is, after weighing the product, it is determined whether or not the product is within the sales period, but instead, when the product selection button in step ST2 is pressed, You may decide whether or not the product is within the sales period. Further, the product selection button whose sales period has expired may also have a display mode different from that of other product selection buttons. For example, the color may be changed, or characters such as "time exceeded" may be lightly overwritten. Further, by pressing the product selection button, the screens G2 and G4 shown in FIGS. 6 or 8 are displayed for all the products, and at that time, the desired position (for example, the product name) in the screens G2 and G4 is displayed. In the upper right blank part of the column), "Products within the sales period" and "Products outside the sales period" may be displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, as shown in the registration screen G1 of FIG. 5, a plurality of product columns G11 are displayed, and a product is selected by pressing any of the product columns G11. Instead, the product column G11 is not displayed, and for example, a display that digitally displays the price installed near the product displayed for face-to-face sales is vibrated by touching it with a finger, for example. , Notifies that the product has been selected to the measuring instrument that is configured to be able to communicate wirelessly with the display, thereby inputting that the product has been selected to the measuring instrument and at the same time being selected on the display unit of the measuring instrument. It may be configured to display only the products that have been purchased. At this time, for example, only the products within the sales period are displayed on the registration screen G1, and in the case of the products outside the sales period, the notification that the products are outside the sales period or the display screen of the product list outside the sales period is displayed. .. Alternatively, by pressing the display device after pressing the pre-sales label button G20, as many non-sales period products as the pressed number may be displayed on the display means 43.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of claims and the technical ideas described in the specification and drawings. It is possible. It should be noted that any configuration not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as the action and effect of the present invention are exhibited.
