The function keys include, for example, a numeric keypad, a multiplication key, a subtotal key, a return key, a PLU (Price Look Up) key, and other closing keys such as a ticket selling key and a credit selling key.

The mode switch 42 is a switch for switching the mode of the sales data processing device 30 to any one of a setting mode, a return mode, an OFF mode, a registration mode, a calculator mode, an inspection mode, and a settlement mode.
The setting mode is a mode in which various settings (for example, setting of a product unit price, etc.) of the sales data processing device 30 are performed. The return mode is a mode for processing returns. The OFF mode is a mode in which the power of the sales data processing device 30 is turned off.

Among the modes included in the sales data processing device 30, the setting mode, the registration mode, and the settlement mode turn on the power of the communication unit (narrow range communication unit 38 or wide range communication unit 39) to perform wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20. The mode. More specifically, in the registration mode, the power of the wide-range communication unit 39 is turned on and wireless communication in the wide-range communication unit 39 is permitted with the mobile terminal 20, while wireless communication in the narrow-range communication unit 38. Is a mode (second mode) in which is prohibited, and in the setting mode and the settlement mode, the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 is turned on and wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is permitted in the narrow range communication unit 38. On the other hand, this is a mode (first mode) in which wireless communication in the wide range communication unit 39 is prohibited. In the second mode, it is not always necessary to prohibit the wireless communication in the narrow range communication unit 38, and at least the wireless communication in the wide range communication unit 39 may be allowed. Here, the fact that the registration mode performs a wide range of wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 makes it easy to take an order for a customer far from the sales data processing device 30 when taking an order (order) with the mobile terminal 20. Because. Further, the setting mode performs wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 in a narrow range by communicating using the same wireless (wide range wireless) during the registration process in the registration mode (for example, of the setting data). This is because I do not want to send). Further, the reason why the settlement mode performs wireless communication in a narrow range with the mobile terminal 20 is that the settlement process cannot be performed unless the drawer 37 is opened.
On the other hand, the remaining return mode, OFF mode, calculator mode, and inspection mode are modes in which the power of the communication unit is turned off and wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is not performed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the mode switch 42 includes a keyhole 42a into which the mode key K1 (see FIG. 6) can be inserted, and the mode key K1 is rotated and positioned with the mode key K1 inserted into the keyhole 42a. By switching, the operation to switch to the mode corresponding to the position can be performed. That is, the mode switch 42 is configured to rotate the inserted mode key K1 and functions as a mode switching means of the present invention for switching to a mode corresponding to the rotation position of the inserted mode key K1.
As the mode key K1, two types of keys, an operator key K11 used by the operator (see FIG. 6A) and an owner key K12 used by the owner (see FIG. 6B), are used.

The mode switch 42 is configured so that the rotatable range of the mode key K1 differs depending on the type of the inserted mode key K1. For example, the mode switch 42 is configured to limit the rotatable range of the key when the inserted key is the operator key K11 to be narrower than when the key is the owner key K12.
Specifically, the operator key K11 can be switched to the OFF mode, the registration mode, and the calculator mode among the modes included in the sales data processing device 30. That is, the operator can execute the OFF mode, the registration mode, and the calculator mode among the modes included in the sales data processing device 30.
On the other hand, the owner key K12 can be switched to all modes included in the sales data processing device 30. That is, the owner can implement all the modes included in the sales data processing device 30.
The reference numeral R1 shown in FIG. 5 indicates the rotatable range of the operator key K11, and the reference numeral R2 indicates the rotatable range of the owner key K12. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the rotatable range R1 of the operator key K11 is set to be located within the range of the rotatable range R2 of the owner key K12.

As shown in FIG. 5, the mode switch 42 switches clockwise to each mode in the order of inspection mode M1, return mode M2, calculator mode M3, OFF mode M4, registration mode M5, settlement mode M6, and setting mode M7. The rotation positions for are arranged.
Further, the mode switch 42 is configured so that the mode key K1 can be inserted only at the position of the OFF mode M4, and the position other than the OFF mode M4, that is, the position of the inspection mode M1 and the position of the return mode M2. , The position of the calculator mode M3, the position of the registration mode M5, the position of the settlement mode M6, and the position of the setting mode M7 are all configured so that the mode key K1 cannot be pulled out. This is the same regardless of whether the operator key K11 or the owner key K12 is used.
Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the "rotation position for switching to the mode" may be simply abbreviated as "mode".

In this embodiment, three modes (calculator mode M3, OFF mode M4, and registration mode M5) that can be switched by the operator key K11 are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other. Therefore, the mode switching operation by the operator key K11 can be performed without any problem.

Further, in the present embodiment, the rotation position (first rotation position) for switching to the mode (registration mode M5, settlement mode M6 and setting mode M7) in which the power of the communication unit is turned on and wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is performed. And the rotation position (second rotation position) for switching to the mode (inspection mode M1, return mode M2, calculator mode M3 and OFF mode M4) in which the power of the communication unit is turned off and wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is not performed. The second rotation position is set so as to be located non-interveningly between the first rotation positions. Therefore, for example, when switching from the "mode for turning on the power of the communication unit" to another "mode for turning on the power of the communication unit", the "mode for turning off the power of the communication unit" is arranged between the two. Therefore, the mode switching operation can be performed without turning the power of the communication unit on and off unnecessarily.

Further, in the present embodiment, the rotation position (third rotation) for switching to the mode (payment mode M6 and setting mode M7) in which the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 is turned on and wireless communication in a narrow range with the mobile terminal 20 is performed. Position) and the rotation position (fourth rotation position) for switching to the mode (registration mode M5) for turning on the power of the wide range communication unit 39 and performing wide range wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 are non-intervening with each other. It is arranged in. Therefore, for example, when switching from the "mode for turning on the power of the narrow range communication unit 38" to another "mode for turning on the power of the narrow range communication unit 38", "the power of the wide range communication unit 39 is turned on" between the two. Since the "modes to be used" are not arranged, the mode switching operation can be performed without unnecessarily turning on / off the power supply of the wide range communication unit 39.

[2. Description of operation]
Next, the operation of each mode included in the sales data processing device 30 according to the present embodiment will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 7. In FIG. 7, the operator key K11 can be used to switch to the calculator mode M3, the OFF mode M4, and the registration mode M5, and the owner key K12 can be used to switch to all modes (inspection mode M1, return mode M2, calculator mode). It is possible to switch to M3, OFF mode M4, registration mode M5, settlement mode M6, setting mode M7). Each mode is implemented by switching to a desired mode with the operator key K11 or the owner key K12.

[2-1. Description of the mode for turning off the power of the communication unit]
The inspection mode M1, the return mode M2, the calculator mode M3, and the OFF mode M4 are all modes in which the power of the communication unit is turned off and wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is not performed.
Therefore, first, the CPU 31 performs a process of turning off the power of the communication unit (narrow range communication unit 38 and wide range communication unit 39) (steps S11, S21, S31, S41). If the power of the communication unit has already been turned off, do nothing and move to the next step.

Next, the CPU 31 performs processing corresponding to each mode based on the operation of the operator or the owner. For example, in the inspection mode M1, the registered transaction data is inspected based on the operation of the owner (step S12). Further, in the return mode M2, the return processing is performed based on the operation of the owner (step S22). Further, in the calculator mode M3, the calculator processing is performed based on the operation of the operator or the owner (step S32). Further, in the OFF mode M4, a process of turning off the power of the sales data processing device 30 is performed (step S42).
In steps S12, S22, S32, and S42, since the power of the communication unit is not turned on, the beacon for establishing communication with the power-on communication unit is not output.

[2-2. Explanation of the mode for turning on the power of the communication unit]
The registration mode M5, the settlement mode M6, and the setting mode M7 are all modes in which the power of the communication unit is turned on to perform wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20.
Therefore, first, the CPU 31 performs a process of turning on the power of either the narrow range communication unit 38 or the wide range communication unit 39. For example, in the registration mode M5, a process of turning on the power of the wide range communication unit 39 and a process of turning off the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 are performed (step S51). Further, in the settlement mode M6 and the setting mode M7, a process of turning on the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 and a process of turning off the power of the wide range communication unit 39 are performed (steps S61 and S71).
If the power of the wide range communication unit 39 has already been turned on (the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 is off) in the registration mode M5, nothing is performed and the process proceeds to the next step. If the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 is already turned on (the power of the wide range communication unit 39 is turned off) in the settlement mode M6 and the setting mode M7, nothing is performed and the process proceeds to the next step.

Next, the CPU 31 makes it possible to communicate with the application installed on the mobile terminal 20, and outputs a beacon for establishing communication with the communication unit turned on.
For example, in the registration mode M5, communication is possible with the order entry application installed in the mobile terminal 20, and a beacon for establishing communication with the wide-range communication unit 39 turned on in step S51 is output. (Step S52). Upon receiving the beacon output in step S52, the mobile terminal 20 establishes communication between the wide-range communication unit 29 and the wide-range communication unit 39 of the source sales data processing device 30.
Further, in the settlement mode M6, the settlement application installed in the mobile terminal 20 can be communicated with, and a beacon for establishing communication with the narrow range communication unit 38 turned on in step S61 is output. (Step S62). Further, in the setting mode M7, the setting application installed in the mobile terminal 20 is enabled to communicate, and a beacon for establishing communication with the narrow range communication unit 38 turned on in step S71 is output. (Step S72). When the mobile terminal 20 receives the beacon output in step S62 or step S72, the mobile terminal 20 establishes communication between the narrow range communication unit 28 and the narrow range communication unit 38 of the source sales data processing device 30.

Next, the CPU 31 performs processing corresponding to each mode.
For example, in the registration mode M5, the request related to the registration process transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 and the manual registration process of the operator or the owner in the sales data processing device 30 are simultaneously performed (step S53). That is, when the request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 and the manual registration are performed at the same time, the processing is performed by multitasking. The request related to the registration process transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 is transmitted to the sales data processing device 30 when the order entry application is activated on the mobile terminal 20 and the registration process is performed by the operator or the owner. It is order data.
Further, in the settlement mode M6, after the settlement process is manually performed by the owner in the sales data processing device 30, the settlement data is transmitted to the settlement application of the mobile terminal 20 (step S63). The mobile terminal 20 waits for the settlement data to be received until the settlement data is received.
Further, in the setting mode M7, either the request related to the setting process transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 or the manual setting process of the owner in the sales data processing device 30 is performed (step S73). That is, when the request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 and the manual registration are performed at the same time, the previously accepted process is performed by a single task. The request related to the setting process transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 is the setting data transmitted to the sales data processing device 30 when the setting application is started on the mobile terminal 20 and the setting process is performed by the owner. That is.

[2-3. Explanation of payment mode]
Next, the operation of the settlement mode M6 in the sales data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. This operation is performed by the owner rotating the owner key K12 to switch to the settlement mode M6. In the settlement mode M6, a process of outputting settlement data that aggregates predetermined transaction data is performed.

First, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 performs a process of turning on the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 (step S101). If the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 has already been turned on, nothing is performed and the process proceeds to the next step S102.
On the other hand, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 activates the settlement application based on the owner's operation (touch operation or the like) (step S201). FIG. 10A shows an example of the activation screen G1 displayed on the display unit 27 of the mobile terminal 20 when the settlement application is activated in step S201. The startup screen G1 displays a "connection button B1" for communicating with the sales data processing device 30, a "payment button B2" for requesting the sales data processing device 30 to transmit settlement data, and a menu screen. A "menu button B3" for this purpose is provided.

Next, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 outputs a beacon for establishing communication with the narrow range communication unit 38 whose power is turned on in step S101 (step S102).
On the other hand, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 determines whether or not the beacon output from the sales data processing device 30 in step S102 can be searched within a predetermined time based on the touch operation of the connection button B1 by the owner on the startup screen G1. Determine (step S202). In step S202, the predetermined time is, for example, 10 seconds.
When the CPU 21 determines that the beacon output from the sales data processing device 30 can be searched in step S102 within a predetermined time (step S202: YES), the screen (communication) indicating that the communication is connected to the sales data processing device 30. After displaying the connection screen G2) on the display unit 27 (see FIG. 10B), the process proceeds to step S203.
On the other hand, when the CPU 21 determines that the beacon output from the sales data processing device 30 could not be searched in step S102 within a predetermined time (step S202: NO), the display unit is as shown in FIG. 10 (C). The communication error screen G3 is displayed on 27 (step S213).

Next, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 requests the sales data processing device 30 to transmit the settlement data based on the touch operation of the settlement button B2 by the owner on the startup screen G1 (transmission request). ) Is transmitted (step S203).
Next, the CPU 21 is in a state of waiting for receipt of the settlement data transmitted from the sales data processing device 30 (step S204). FIG. 10D shows an example of the screen (reception waiting screen) G4 displayed on the display unit 27 of the mobile terminal 20 when the settlement data is in the reception waiting state in step S204.

[2-4. Description of registration mode]
Next, the operation of the registration mode M5 in the sales data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 13 to 16. This operation is performed by the owner rotating the owner key K12 or the operator rotating the operator key K11 to switch to the registration mode M5. In the registration mode M5, a process of registering transaction data is performed.

First, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 performs a process of turning on the power of the wide-range communication unit 39 (step S301). If the power of the wide range communication unit 39 has already been turned on, nothing is performed and the process proceeds to the next step S302.

Next, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 transmits a registration start request for requesting the sales data processing device 30 to start the registration process (step S402).
The CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 receives the registration start request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S402, and makes it possible to communicate with the order entry application installed in the mobile terminal 20 (step S302). That is, the CPU 31 functions as the control means of the present invention by performing the processes of steps S301 and S302.

Next, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 performs the first transmission process based on the operation (input operation, touch operation, etc.) of the owner or the operator (step S403). Specifically, the first transmission process is a process executed at the time of seat guidance, and the terminal ID of the mobile terminal 20, the seat number of the guide destination, and the number of customers are used as the first registration information in the sales data processing device 30. This is the process of sending.
The CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 receives the first registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S403 and performs the first registration process (step S303).

Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 14, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 adds a new record to the order data table for managing the order data (step S331). In the order data table, for example, "order ID" which is unique identification information assigned to each order, "person in charge code" of the person who received the order, "seat number" of the seat where the orderer sits, Each field is provided to store "number of customers" seated in the seat, "order information" including detailed order information (cooking code, quantity), and the like.
Next, the CPU 31 stores the first registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S403 in the new record added in step S331 (step S332).
Next, the CPU 31 extracts a record (unordered record) in which the order information is not yet stored from all the records in the order data table, adds up the number of customers of the extracted unordered record, and calculates the "number of unordered customers". Calculate (step S333).
Next, the CPU 31 calculates the number of customers of the new record added in step S331 as the "number of new store customers", and also calculates the "number of new store customers", the "number of unordered customers" calculated in step S333, and the current time in the kitchen. Is output to a display unit (not shown) and displayed (step S334).
By the first registration process described above, it is possible to notify the cooking staff of the kitchen of the "number of new customers" and the "number of unordered customers".

Next, in step S404 of FIG. 13, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 performs a second transmission process based on the operation (input operation, touch operation, etc.) of the owner or the operator. The second transmission process is specifically a process executed at the time of receiving an order, in which the terminal ID of the mobile terminal 20, the seat number, the cooking code and the quantity of the ordered dish are sold as the second registration information. This is a process of transmitting to the data processing device 30.
The CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 receives the second registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S404, and performs the second registration process (step S304).

Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 15, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 uses the seat number included in the second registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S404 as a key to the order data table. Is searched (step S341).
Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the record of the corresponding seat number exists in the order data table (step S342).
When the CPU 31 determines that the record of the corresponding seat number exists in the order data table (step S342: YES), the CPU 31 proceeds to step S344.
On the other hand, when the CPU 31 determines that the record of the corresponding seat number does not exist in the order data table (step S342: NO), it determines that the wrong seat number has been transmitted from the mobile terminal 20, and performs a predetermined error process. (For example, a process of transmitting an error message to the transmission source mobile terminal 20) is executed (step S343).
In step S344, the CPU 31 stores the order information (cooking code and quantity) transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in the record of the corresponding seat number.
Next, the CPU 31 outputs the order information stored in step S344 to the printing unit of the kitchen for printing (step S345).
By the second registration process described above, the "order information" can be notified to the cooking staff in the kitchen.

Next, in step S405 of FIG. 13, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 performs a third transmission process based on an operation (touch operation or the like) of the owner or the operator. Specifically, the third transmission process is a process executed at the time of system setting, and is a process of transmitting the terminal ID and the person in charge code of the mobile terminal 20 to the sales data processing device 30 as the third registration information. is there.
The CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 receives the third registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S405 and performs the third registration process (step S305).

Specifically, first, as shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 uses the terminal ID included in the third registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S405 as a key to input the terminal data. The terminal data table for management is searched (step S351). In the terminal data table, for example, "terminal ID (terminal identification information)" which is unique identification information of the mobile terminal 20, "person in charge code" of the person in charge who currently carries the mobile terminal 20 and the like can be stored. Each field is provided.
Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not a record of the corresponding terminal ID exists in the terminal data table (step S352).
When the CPU 31 determines that the record of the corresponding terminal ID exists in the terminal data table (step S352: YES), the CPU 31 stores and updates the person in charge code transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in the record of the corresponding terminal ID. (Step S353).
On the other hand, when the CPU 31 determines that the record of the corresponding terminal ID does not exist in the terminal data table (step S352: NO), it determines that the wrong terminal ID has been transmitted from the mobile terminal 20, and performs a predetermined error process. (For example, a process of transmitting an error message to the transmission source mobile terminal 20) is executed (step S354).
By the third registration process described above, the information of the person in charge (operator) who operates the mobile terminal 20 can be updated.

The third transmission process is generally performed at the timing when the person in charge (operator) who operates the mobile terminal 20 changes. Therefore, it may be performed before the first transmission process or between the first transmission process and the second transmission process. That is, the order in which the first to third transmission processes (first to third registration processes) are performed is not limited to the example shown in FIG.

Next, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 ends the registration business (step S306).
On the other hand, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 ends the communication (wide-range communication) with the sales data processing device 30 (step S406). After that, the CPU 21 terminates the order entry application.

In the example shown in FIG. 13, various registration information transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 is registered in the sales data processing device 30, but the sales data processing device 30 is in the middle of the above registration process. When the manual registration process is performed via the input unit 41 of the above, both processes are executed in parallel by multitasking under the control of the CPU 31.

[3. effect]
As described above, according to the sales data processing device 30 of the sales data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, a narrow range capable of wireless communication limited to a narrow range with a predetermined terminal device (mobile terminal 20) is possible. Wide range communication means (wide range communication unit 39) capable of wide range wireless communication between the range communication means (narrow range communication unit 38) and the terminal device, and wireless communication between the terminal device and the wide range communication means Mode switching means (mode switch) for switching between a first mode in which communication is permitted but wireless communication in a wide range communication means is prohibited, and a second mode in which wireless communication in at least a wide range communication means is permitted. 42), and a settlement mode for outputting settlement data that aggregates predetermined transaction data is assigned to the first mode.
Therefore, according to the sales data processing device 30 according to the present embodiment, the narrow range wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 can be performed in the settlement mode in which the settlement process cannot be performed unless the drawer 37 is opened. It is possible to open the drawer while operating the terminal 20, and it is possible to switch between narrow-range wireless communication and wide-range wireless communication according to the characteristics of the mode for wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20. ..

Further, according to the sales data processing device 30 of the sales data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the registration mode in which transaction data is registered is assigned to the second mode.
Therefore, according to the sales data processing device 30 according to the present embodiment, wide-range wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 can be performed in the registration mode for registering the customer's order using the mobile terminal 20, and thus the sales data processing. It is possible to register an order for a customer at a position away from the device 30, and it is possible to switch between narrow range wireless communication and wide range wireless communication according to the characteristics of the mode for performing wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20. ..

Further, according to the sales data processing device 30 of the sales data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, in the second mode, wireless communication with the terminal device by a narrow range communication means is prohibited.
Therefore, according to the sales data processing device 30 according to the present embodiment, data transmission via narrow range wireless communication is performed while the registration mode for registering the customer's order using the mobile terminal 20 is selected. Since data rewriting can be suppressed, processing in the currently set mode can be performed without any problem.

Further, according to the sales data processing device 30 of the sales data processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the wireless connection with a predetermined terminal device is made by a narrow range communication means capable of wireless communication limited to a narrow range. A control means (CPU 31) for switching between a first mode of wireless connection and a second mode of wireless connection by a wide range communication means capable of a wide range of wireless communication is provided, and predetermined transaction data The settlement mode that outputs the settlement data that aggregates the above is assigned to the first mode.
Therefore, according to the sales data processing device 30 according to the present embodiment, the narrow range wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 can be performed in the settlement mode in which the settlement process cannot be performed unless the drawer 37 is opened. It is possible to open the drawer while operating the terminal 20, and it is possible to switch between narrow-range wireless communication and wide-range wireless communication according to the characteristics of the mode for wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20. ..

Although the specific description has been given above based on the embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be changed without departing from the gist thereof.

For example, in the above embodiment, the case where the mode selected by the sales data processing device 30 corresponds to the application started by the mobile terminal 20 is illustrated and described, but the mode selected by the sales data processing device 30 is selected. It is also possible that the mode and the application started on the mobile terminal 20 do not correspond to each other.
For example, in the case where the "setting application" is started while the "registration mode M5" is selected in the sales data processing device 30, communication with the wide range communication unit 39 output from the sales data processing device 30 is established. Since the mobile terminal 20 that desires narrow-range communication cannot search (receive) the beacon for this purpose, communication is not established in the first place. Therefore, predetermined error processing on the mobile terminal 20 side (for example, processing such as displaying an error message such as "the mode on the sales data processing device 30 side is not supported" on the display unit 27 of the mobile terminal 20). Is done.

On the other hand, for example, in the case where the "setting application" is started while the "payment mode M6" is selected in the sales data processing device 30, the narrow range communication unit 38 output from the sales data processing device 30 is used. Since the mobile terminal 20 that desires narrow-range communication can search (receive) the beacon for establishing communication, narrow-range communication is established. In this case, the sales data processing device 30 is in a state where the setting data can be transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 by the "setting application" even though the settlement processing is performed by the "settlement mode M6". Setting data (for example, product unit price data, etc.) may be rewritten during the settlement process, which may interfere with the settlement process.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 17, the processing performed in the case where wireless communication is established even when the mode selected by the sales data processing device 30 and the application started by the mobile terminal 20 do not correspond to each other. I will explain. In the example shown in FIG. 17, a case where the “setting application” is started while the “payment mode M6” is selected in the sales data processing device 30 will be described as an example.

First, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 performs a process of turning on the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 (step S501). If the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 has already been turned on, nothing is performed and the process proceeds to the next step S502.
On the other hand, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 activates the setting application based on the owner's operation (touch operation or the like) (step S601).

Next, the CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 transmits a setting start request (communication request) for requesting the sales data processing device 30 to start the setting process (step S602). Here, the setting start request includes identification information (for example, an identification number, etc.) of an application (setting application) running on the mobile terminal 20.
The CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 receives the setting start request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20 in step S202, and based on the identification information included in the setting start request, the mode currently set by the mode switch 42 (settlement). A process of determining whether or not the mode M6) corresponds to the application (setting application) running on the communication destination mobile terminal 20 is performed (step S502).

When the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 determines that the currently set mode corresponds to the communication destination application, the application activated on the communication destination mobile terminal 20 according to the currently set mode. And narrow range communication or wide range communication is possible, and a beacon for establishing communication with the power-on communication unit is output. Upon receiving the output beacon, the mobile terminal 20 establishes communication with the communication unit of the sales data processing device 30 of the transmission source.
On the other hand, when the CPU 31 determines that the currently set mode (payment mode M6) does not correspond to the communication destination application (setting application) as in the example shown in FIG. 17, the communication destination mobile terminal 20 The beacon for establishing communication with the power-on communication unit (narrow range communication unit 38) is not output without making it possible to communicate with the application started in. As a result, the mobile terminal 20 cannot establish communication with the communication unit of the sales data processing device 30 of the transmission source.

That is, in step S503, the CPU 31 of the sales data processing device 30 rejects wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 of the communication destination, and transmits communication refusal information indicating that fact to the mobile terminal 20.
The CPU 21 of the mobile terminal 20 receives the communication refusal information transmitted from the sales data processing device 30 in step S503, and performs predetermined error processing (for example, the display unit 27 of the mobile terminal 20 shows "the sales data processing device 30 side". Processing such as displaying an error message such as "mode is not supported") is performed (step S603).

As described above, it is determined whether or not the currently set mode corresponds to the application based on the identification information of the running application included in the communication request transmitted from the mobile terminal 20, and the currently set mode is set. If it is determined that the current mode is compatible with the app, it is set to a state where narrow range communication or wide range communication is possible with the mobile terminal 20 according to the currently set mode, and the currently set mode is compatible with the app. If it is determined that there is no communication, the communication refusal information indicating that the wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is rejected is transmitted to the mobile terminal 20, and the data is transmitted when the currently set mode does not correspond to the application. And since rewriting can be suppressed, processing in the currently set mode can be performed without any problem.

Further, in the above embodiment, after printing the communication result in step S111 of FIG. 8, the process proceeds to the next step S112 without reporting the printing of the communication result to the mobile terminal 20. It is not limited. That is, after printing the communication result in step S111, a print report for reporting the printing of the communication result may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 20. At that time, the mobile terminal 20 may display the content of the communication result printed in step S111 on the display unit 27.
Further, the content of the communication result printed in step S111 is stored as log information in each of the sales data processing device 30 and the mobile terminal 20 in their respective storage units (RAM 22, ROM 23, storage unit 40, etc.). May be good.

Further, in the above embodiment, in the mode switch 42, each mode is arranged in the order of inspection mode M1, return mode M2, calculator mode M3, OFF mode M4, registration mode M5, settlement mode M6, and setting mode M7. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the arrangement of the inspection mode M1, the return mode M2, the calculator mode M3, and the OFF mode M4 that do not perform wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is in no particular order, and may be any arrangement. Further, the arrangement of the settlement mode M6 and the setting mode M7 that perform the same wireless communication (wireless communication in a narrow range) as the mobile terminal 20 is also in no particular order, and the setting mode M7 and the settlement mode M6 may be arranged in this order. Good.
Further, for example, the registration mode M5 in which the power of the wide range communication unit 39 is turned on to perform a wide range of wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20 is set, and the power of the narrow range communication unit 38 is turned on to perform a narrow range wireless communication with the mobile terminal 20. It may be arranged after the settlement mode M6 and the setting mode M7 for communication.

Further, in the above embodiment, the communication unit cannot communicate with the mobile terminal 20 in three modes (registration mode M5, settlement mode M6 and setting mode M7) as modes for enabling the communication unit to communicate with the mobile terminal 20. Four modes (inspection mode M1, return mode M2, calculator mode M3, and OFF mode M4) are described as examples, but the mode is not limited thereto. Each of the modes includes at least a plurality of modes including the registration mode M5 as a mode in which the communication unit can communicate with the mobile terminal 20, and at least one mode as a mode in which the communication unit cannot communicate with the mobile terminal 20. Any configuration may be used as long as it is configured.

Further, in the above embodiment, the operator key K11 can be used to switch between the calculator mode M3, the OFF mode M4, and the registration mode M5, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operator key K11 may be used to further switch to the inspection mode M1. In this case, the inspection mode M1 may be arranged at any position adjacent to the calculator mode M3, the OFF mode M4, and the registration mode M5.
Further, the configuration may not include the operator key K11 (that is, the configuration may include only the owner key K12). In this case, the rotatable range of the mode switch 42 does not have to be configured differently depending on the type of the mode key K1, so that the production is easy.

Further, in the above embodiment, in the configuration of the sales data processing device 30, as shown in FIG. 4 and the like, a configuration in which the display unit 34, the input unit 41, and the mode switch 42 are provided independently is illustrated. Although explained, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the input unit 41A is configured by a touch panel integrally formed with the display unit 34A, and instead of providing the mode switch 42, each mode (inspection mode M1) is displayed on the display unit 34A. , Return mode M2, calculator mode M3, OFF mode M4, registration mode M5, settlement mode M6, setting mode M7) may be displayed in a mode switching unit (mode switching means) 42A that can be switched in a tab format. With the above configuration, the display unit 34A, the input unit 41A, and the mode switching unit 42A can be integrally configured. According to the above configuration, the mode can be switched with a simpler operation.

In the above description, an example in which an HDD or a non-volatile semiconductor memory is used as a computer-readable medium in which a program for executing each process is stored has been disclosed, but the present invention is not limited to this example. As another computer-readable medium, a portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM can be applied. Further, a carrier wave may be applied as a medium for providing program data via a communication line.
