FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the POS register 1 in the present embodiment. In the figure, the blocks corresponding to the configurations shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.
As shown in the figure, the POS register 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a display unit with a touch panel 14, and a key operation unit. A customer display unit 16, an automatic change machine 17, a scanner unit 18, a printing unit 19, a communication unit 20, and a drawer 30 are provided.
The CPU 11, ROM 12, RAM 13, display unit 14 with touch panel, key operation unit 15, customer display unit 16, automatic change machine 17, scanner unit 18, printing unit 19, communication unit 20, and drawer 30 have internal buses and communication lines. They are connected to each other via.

The CPU 11 controls the entire POS register 1 in an integrated manner.
The communication unit 20 communicates with, for example, a store controller (not shown) which is a higher-level device of the POS register 1.
The ROM 12 stores a program to be executed by the CPU 11 and image data to be displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel.
The RAM 13 is a memory for expanding a program or work area read from the ROM 12. In addition, the RAM 13 stores, for example, information about products imported from the store controller.

The POS register 1 of the present embodiment realizes functions as a control means, a determination means, a notification means, and a display means by executing a program read from the ROM 12 by the CPU 11.
When the price reduction is declared by the declaring means that declares the price reduction, the control means targets the goods registered by the registration means after the declaration as the target of the price reduction. Further, if the control means is declared again after the declaration by the declaration means, the control means ends the price reduction by the declaration. Further, when the declaring means makes a second declaration different from the first declaration after the first declaration, the control means ends the price reduction by the first declaration and starts the price reduction by the second declaration. .. Further, when the determining means determines that the quantity of the goods registered in the declaration satisfies the prohibition condition, the control means ends the price reduction by the declaration.
The determination means determines whether or not the quantity of the product registered in the declaration satisfies the prohibition condition. In addition, the discriminating means determines whether or not the classification of the products registered in the declaration satisfies the prohibition condition.
When the determining means determines that the classification of the product satisfies the prohibition condition, the notification means notifies that the prohibition condition is satisfied.
The display means displays various display screens such as a product registration screen and an accounting screen on the display unit 14 with a touch panel. For example, when the declarative means declares a price cut, the display means displays information indicating that the price cut has been declared. Further, the display means displays information on the customer display unit 16 for notifying the customer of the product name and price of the product to be purchased.

Further, the POS register 1 realizes a function as a registration means or a declaration means by receiving an input by the display unit 14 with a touch panel, the key operation unit 15, or the scanner unit 18.
The declarative means declares a price cut. For example, the declaration means declares a price reduction by pressing a mechanical key on the key operation unit 15 or a soft key displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel. Alternatively, the declaration means declares the price reduction by reading the bar code of the discount ticket prepared in advance with the scanner unit 18.
The registration means registers the data of the products for sale. For example, the registration means registers the data of the product for sale by the operation of reading the barcode printed on the label attached to the product by the scanner unit 18 or by pressing the soft key displayed on the display unit 14 with the touch panel. ..

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a data structure and a data example of the declaration table stored in the POS register 1 in the present embodiment. The declaration table in the figure is stored in the ROM 12 in the POS register 1.
Alternatively, the declaration table may be stored in, for example, a higher-level store controller, and the POS register 1 may be acquired from the store controller via communication and stored in the RAM 13.
Alternatively, for example, after storing the declaration table in the upper store controller, the store controller may be accessed and referenced each time the POS register 1 makes a declaration.

The declaration table has items of declaration, discount, quantity prohibition condition, classification prohibition condition, and operation. A declaration is a type of declaration. A discount is the type of discount that corresponds to the declaration. There are two types of discounts: a discount that subtracts the set amount from the product unit price, a discount that discounts the product unit price at the set rate, and a selling price change that resets the product unit price. The quantity prohibition condition is the maximum quantity to which the declaration can be applied. The classification prohibition condition is a restriction on the classification of goods to which the declaration can be applied. The classification is a classification preset for each product, and includes, for example, a major classification, a middle classification, and a minor classification. For example, the major category of the single item "domestic beef ribs" is "food", the middle category is "meat", and the minor category is "beef". In addition, the major category of the single item "canned beer" is "beverage", the middle category is "alcoholic beverages", and the minor category is "beer". In addition, the major category of the single item "○○ shampoo" is "daily necessities", the middle category is "bath items", and the minor category is "shampoo". As the classification prohibition condition, any of major classification, middle classification and minor classification may be set, and further, a single item may be set as a classification. The classification of each product is set in the POS register 1 in advance. In addition, when "-" is set in the quantity prohibition condition and the classification prohibition condition, it indicates that there is no restriction (prohibition condition). The operation is an operation for declaring a price reduction.

In the illustrated example, in the first line, the declaration is "Declaration 1", the discount is "10% discount", the quantity prohibition condition is "10", and the classification prohibition condition is "Monday: meat only, Tuesday". : Vegetables only ", and the operation is" Declaration 1 button ". Here, the discount "10% discount" is a discount of 10% (setting rate) from the product unit price. In addition, the classification prohibition condition "Monday: meat only, Tuesday: vegetables only" indicates that Declaration 1 can be applied only to meat on Monday, and Declaration 1 can be applied only to vegetables on Tuesday. That is, Declaration 1 cannot be applied to vegetables on Mondays. Further, the operation "declaration 1 button" is an operation of pressing the declaration 1 button arranged on the display unit 14 with a touch panel or the key operation unit 15.

In the second line, the declaration is "declaration 2", the discount is "20% discount", the quantity prohibition condition is "5", the classification prohibition condition is "-", and the operation is "declaration". 2 buttons ". The operation "declaration 2 button" is an operation of pressing the declaration 2 button arranged on the display unit 14 with a touch panel or the key operation unit 15. In the third line, the declaration is "declaration 3", the discount is "20 yen discount", the quantity prohibition condition is "-", the classification prohibition condition is "-", and the operation is "-". "Reading discount tickets". Here, the discount "20 yen discount" is a 20 yen (set amount) discount from the product unit price. Further, the operation "reading the discount ticket" is an operation in which the scanner unit 18 reads the bar code of the corresponding discount ticket.

In the fourth line, the declaration is "declaration 4", the discount is "100 yen for all products", the quantity prohibition condition is "-", the classification prohibition condition is "-", and the operation is "declaration". 4 buttons ". Here, the discount "100 yen for all products" is to change the selling price of all the product unit prices to 100 yen. Further, the operation "declaration 4 button" is an operation of pressing the declaration 4 button arranged on the display unit 14 with a touch panel or the key operation unit 15.

Subsequently, a method of operating the discount in the POS register 1 will be described. The POS register 1 starts the discount corresponding to the declaration by accepting the operation defined in the declaration table. For example, when the Declaration 1 button, which is an operation corresponding to Declaration 1, is pressed, the POS register 1 gives a discount (10% discount) corresponding to Declaration 1 to the products registered thereafter. Further, the POS register 1 ends the discount corresponding to the declaration by accepting the operation defined in the declaration table again. For example, in the POS register 1, when the declaration 1 button is pressed and the declaration 1 button is pressed again during the discount of the declaration 1, the discount corresponding to the declaration 1 is terminated.

Alternatively, the POS register 1 terminates the discount corresponding to the currently executing declaration by accepting the operation corresponding to the other declaration defined in the declaration table during the discount corresponding to the declaration, and the other declaration. Start the discount corresponding to. For example, when the Declaration 2 button, which is an operation corresponding to Declaration 2, is pressed during the discount of Declaration 1, the POS register 1 ends the discount corresponding to Declaration 1 and starts the discount corresponding to Declaration 2. .. Further, when the POS register 1 receives an operation to complete the product registration (for example, pressing the subtotal button to calculate the total amount of the registered products) during the discount corresponding to the declaration, the declaration is currently being executed. End the corresponding discount and account for the registered product.

Next, the operation of the POS register 1 when the prohibition condition of the declaration is satisfied will be described. The POS register 1 notifies that the prohibition condition is satisfied when the product registered during the discount corresponding to the declaration meets the quantity prohibition condition or the classification prohibition condition. For example, the POS register 1 prohibits classification by displaying a message such as "Vegetables cannot be discounted" when a vegetable product is registered while the discount of Declaration 1 is being given on Monday. Notify that the conditions are met. At this time, the POS register 1 does not discount the vegetable product. Further, the POS register 1 ends the discount corresponding to the declaration when the quantity of the product registered during the discount corresponding to the declaration exceeds the quantity prohibition condition. For example, in the POS register 1, when 10 or more products, which is the quantity prohibition condition of Declaration 1, are registered during the discount of Declaration 1 (that is, the 11th product is registered during the discount of Declaration 1). In case of), a message such as "Discount of 10 or more cannot be made" is displayed to notify that the quantity prohibition condition is satisfied. Then, the POS register 1 ends the discount of the declaration 1. That is, the POS register 1 does not discount the 11th and subsequent products.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of registration processing by the POS register 1 in the present embodiment. In this figure, the case where the products A to E are registered will be described as an example. The unit price of the products A to E is 100 yen.

First, in the POS register 1, the registered amount of the product A registered without any declaration is set to the product unit price of 100 yen. The registration amount is the amount to be registered and is the price of the product used at the time of accounting. Subsequently, when the declaration 1 button is pressed, the POS register 1 starts the price reduction corresponding to the declaration 1. That is, the POS register 1 sets the registered amount of the product B and the product C registered after the declaration 1 to 90 yen, which is a 10% discount from the product unit price of 100 yen. Subsequently, the POS register 1 ends the price reduction corresponding to the declaration 1 when the declaration 1 button is pressed again. Then, when the declaration 2 button is pressed, the POS register 1 starts the price reduction corresponding to the declaration 2. That is, the POS register 1 sets the registered amount of the product D and the product E registered after the declaration 2 to 80 yen, which is a 20% discount from the product unit price of 100 yen. After that, when the subtotal button is pressed, the POS register 1 ends the price reduction corresponding to the declaration 2 and executes the accounting process of the registered product.

In this way, the POS register 1 targets the goods registered after the declaration as the target of the price reduction corresponding to the declaration. As a result, the operator of the POS register 1 can efficiently discount a plurality of products in a short time without setting in advance.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the registration process executed by the POS register 1 in the present embodiment.
(Step S101) The CPU 11 determines whether or not acceptance of the declaration has started. Specifically, when the CPU 11 accepts the operation defined in the declaration table, it determines that the acceptance of the declaration has started. When the CPU 11 determines that the acceptance of the declaration has started, the process proceeds to step S104. On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the acceptance of the declaration has not been started, the process proceeds to step S102.

(Step S102) The CPU 11 registers the product. For example, the CPU 11 acquires predetermined information (product ID, product name, unit price, etc.) regarding the product to be registered each time the operator performs an operation for registering the product in the transaction (product registration operation). Examples of the product registration operation include an operation of reading the barcode printed on the label attached to the product by the scanner unit 18 and an operation of designating the product for the display unit 14 with a touch panel. After that, the process proceeds to step S103.
(Step S103) The CPU 11 determines whether or not the product registration according to the transaction has been completed. When the CPU 11 presses, for example, the subtotal button or the current total button, the CPU 11 completes the product registration according to the transaction. When the CPU 11 determines that the product registration is completed, the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the product registration has not been completed, the process returns to the process of step S101.

(Step S104) The CPU 11 registers the product. After that, the process proceeds to step S105.
(Step S105) The CPU 11 determines whether or not the product registered in step S104 meets the classification prohibition condition of the declaration made in step S101. If the CPU 11 determines that the classification prohibition condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S106. On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the classification prohibition condition is not met, the process proceeds to step S107.
(Step S106) The CPU 11 displays on the display unit 14 with a touch panel to notify that the classification prohibition condition is satisfied. After that, the process proceeds to step S110.

(Step S107) The CPU 11 determines whether or not the quantity of the product registered after the declaration made in step S101 meets the quantity prohibition condition of the declaration. If the CPU 11 determines that the quantity prohibition condition is met, the process proceeds to step S108. On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the quantity prohibition condition is not met, the process proceeds to step S109.
(Step S108) The CPU 11 displays on the display unit 14 with a touch panel to notify that the quantity prohibition condition is satisfied. After that, the process proceeds to step S103.

(Step S109) The CPU 11 gives a discount corresponding to the declaration made in step S101 to the product registered in step S104. After that, the process proceeds to step S110.
(Step S110) The CPU 11 determines whether or not the product registration according to the transaction has been completed. When the CPU 11 determines that the product registration is completed, the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the product registration has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S111.
(Step S111) The CPU 11 determines whether or not the acceptance of the declaration has been completed. For example, when the CPU 11 re-accepts the declaration operation made in step S101, it determines that the acceptance of the declaration has been completed. Alternatively, when the CPU 11 accepts an operation corresponding to another declaration different from the declaration made in step S101, it determines that the acceptance of the declaration has been completed. When the CPU 11 determines that the acceptance of the declaration has been completed, the process returns to the process of step S101. On the other hand, if the CPU 11 determines that the acceptance of the declaration has not been completed, the process returns to the process of step S104.

(Step S112) The CPU 11 performs accounting processing. That is, the CPU 11 calculates change and the like according to the deposit of the deposit amount from the customer, and performs processing such as discharge of the change.
(Step S113) The CPU 11 outputs a receipt (accounting slip) showing the result of the accounting process (accounting result). That is, the CPU 11 causes the printing unit 19 to print the accounting result on the paper, and ejects the printed paper as a receipt. After that, the process ends.

Next, a display example of the product registration screen that the operator operates when registering the product will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a product registration screen displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel of the POS register 1. On the illustrated product registration screen 1400, a button for selecting a product required for the operator to register a product, information indicating the amount and quantity, a declaration button for declaring a price reduction, and a registered product are displayed. Information indicating the state of declaration of price reduction is displayed.

On the product registration screen 1400, a plurality of product selection buttons are displayed side by side in the screen area of reference numeral 1410. For example, the "anpan" selection button 1411, the "bread" selection button 1412, and the like are displayed as buttons for product selection. The operator can register the product to be purchased by the customer by operating (for example, tapping) the product selection button corresponding to the product to be registered. Further, in the screen area of reference numeral 1420, a declaration button for declaring a price reduction is displayed. In the illustrated example, a declaration button 1421 that declares a discount "10% discount" and a declaration button 1422 that declares a discount "20 yen discount" are displayed. By operating (for example, tapping) these declaration buttons, the operator can reduce the price of the product to be registered thereafter and register it. Here, a declaration button 1421 ("discount 10%") that declares a discount "10% discount" and a declaration button 1422 ("discount ¥ 20") that declares a discount "20 yen discount" are displayed. This is just an example, and buttons may be displayed to declare price cuts for other types of discounts.

In the screen area of reference numeral 1430, status information indicating that the price reduction has been declared during the period during which the price of the product to be registered is reduced due to the operation of the declaration button (for example, "Registering a discount") is displayed. At the time of normal registration where the price has not been reduced, the status information of "Discount registration in progress" is not displayed.

In the screen area of reference numeral 1440, information indicating the product registered by the operator and the declaration state of the price reduction is displayed side by side (here, from top to bottom) in the operation order of the operator. The information displayed in the screen area of reference numeral 1440 shown is the information displayed in response to the operation of the operator shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation flow of the operator. Here, the product unit price of "Anpan" is 100 yen, and the product unit price of "bread" is 140 yen.

(Step S201) When the operator operates (for example, taps) the "Anpan" selection button 1411 (see FIG. 6) in a state where nothing is declared, the POS register 1 sets the registered amount of "Anpan". The product unit price is 100 yen. Further, the POS register 1 displays information indicating the numbers assigned in the order of product registration, the registered "Anpan", and the product unit price of 100 yen on the first line of the screen area of reference numeral 1440 in FIG. 6 (illustrated). In the example, "1 Anpan ¥ 100").
(Step S202) Next, when the operator operates (for example, taps) the declaration button 1421 (“discount 10%”, see FIG. 6) that declares the discount “10% discount”, the POS register 1 is displayed in FIG. On the second line of the screen area of reference numeral 1440 of No. 6, information indicating that the operation for declaring the discount "10% discount" has been performed is displayed (in the illustrated example, "discount 10%"). The POS register 1 targets the products registered thereafter for the discount "10% discount". Further, the POS register 1 displays status information (for example, "discount registration in progress") indicating that the price reduction has been declared in the screen area of reference numeral 1430 in FIG.

(Step S203) Next, when the operator operates (for example, taps) the "Anpan" selection button 1411 (see FIG. 6) with the discount "10% discount" declared, the POS register 1 is set to "". The registered amount of "Anpan" is 90 yen, which is a 10% discount from the product unit price of 100 yen. Then, the POS register 1 displays information indicating the numbers assigned in the order of product registration, the registered "Anpan", and the registration amount of 90 yen on the third line of the screen area of reference numeral 1440 in FIG. 6 (illustrated). In the example, "2 Anpan ¥ 90").
(Step S204) Further, when the operator operates (for example, taps) the "bread" selection button 1412 (see FIG. 6) in the state where the discount "10% discount" is declared, the POS register 1 is set to "bread". The registered amount of "" is 126 yen, which is a 10% discount from the product unit price of 140 yen. Then, the POS register 1 displays information indicating the numbers assigned in the order of product registration, the registered "bread", and the registration amount of 126 yen on the fourth line of the screen area of reference numeral 1440 in FIG. 6 (illustrated). In the example, "3 breads ¥ 126").

(Step S205) Next, when the operator operates (for example, taps) the declaration button 1422 (“discount ¥ 20”, see FIG. 6) that declares the discount “20 yen discount”, the POS register 1 is set to. Information indicating that the operation for declaring the discount "20 yen discount" has been performed is displayed on the fifth line of the screen area of reference numeral 1440 in FIG. 6 (in the illustrated example, "discount ¥ 20"). As a result, the POS register 1 finishes the price reduction corresponding to the declaration of the discount "10% discount" made in step S202, and the registered amount of "anpan" and "bread" registered in steps S203 and S204 is used as a product. It will be fixed at the amount discounted by 10% from the unit price. In addition, the POS register 1 targets the products registered thereafter for the discount "20 yen discount". Further, the POS register 1 continuously displays the status information (for example, "discount registration in progress") indicating that the price reduction has been declared in the screen area of reference numeral 1430 in FIG.

(Step S206) Next, when the operator operates (for example, taps) the "Anpan" selection button 1411 (see FIG. 6) in the state where the discount "20 yen discount" is declared, the POS register 1 is set to "". The registered amount of "Anpan" is 80 yen, which is a 20 yen discount from the product unit price of 100 yen. Then, the POS register 1 displays information indicating the numbers assigned in the order of product registration, the registered "Anpan", and the registration amount of 80 yen on the sixth line of the screen area of reference numeral 1440 in FIG. 6 (illustrated). In the example, "4 Anpan ¥ 80").

Further, on the pop-up screen of reference numeral 1450 of FIG. 6, when the prohibition conditions of the declaration (quantity prohibition condition, classification prohibition condition, etc.) are satisfied, a message notifying the end of the price reduction by the declaration is displayed. This pop-up screen is not always displayed, and is displayed for a predetermined time only when the prohibition condition of the declaration is satisfied. The predetermined time may be a preset time (for example, a few seconds), or a time until any of the following operations is performed (for example, until the product is tapped on any of the product registration screens 1400). It may be.

In the example of the pop-up screen of reference numeral 1450 shown in FIG. 6, a message when the quantity prohibition condition is satisfied is displayed. For example, when the quantity prohibition condition of the declaration button 1421 (“discount 10%”) that declares the discount “10% discount” is set to “2”, when “bread” is registered in step S204 of FIG. Then, the POS register 1 finishes the price reduction corresponding to the declaration of the discount "10% discount", and displays the pop-up screen of reference numeral 1450 for a predetermined time. In the illustrated example, the message "Registration of 10% discount is limited to 2 items. Registration operation of 10% discount will be completed." Is displayed on the pop-up screen. After that, the POS register 1 can perform normal registration (registration without price reduction) or other operation of declaring price reduction outside the range of declaration of discount "10% discount". In this case, information indicating that the price reduction corresponding to the declaration of the discount "10% discount" has been completed between the 4th and 5th lines in the screen area of reference numeral 1440 in FIG. 6 (for example, "discount"). The line "10% finished") may be inserted.

Next, an example of a receipt (accounting slip) showing the accounting result (accounting result) output by the POS register 1 will be described.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a receipt (accounting slip) in the present embodiment. The receipt shown in FIG. 8 shows an example of the receipt when the registration of the product described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 is taken as an example. In the illustrated receipt, the name and logo of this store are printed in the area of reference numeral 2011. Information such as the date and time when this receipt was issued is printed in the area of reference numeral 2012. Details regarding the registered product are displayed in the area of reference numeral 2013. A subtotal of the amount of the registered product, tax, purchase points, etc. are printed in the area of reference numeral 2014. In the area of reference numeral 2015, the total amount, the deposit amount, the change, etc. are printed.

For example, in the area of reference numeral 2013, as details related to the registered product, details such as the product name of the registered product, the product unit price, the information indicating the declaration state of the price reduction, and the registered amount after the price reduction are arranged in the order of the operator's operation (here). Then, it is printed (side by side from top to bottom). In this figure, the print information indicated by reference numeral 2021 indicates a PLU (Price Look Up), the print information indicated by reference numeral 2022 indicates a registered product name (here, “anpan”), and the print information indicated by reference numeral 2023 indicates a product unit price. (Here, "100 yen") is shown. Further, the print information indicated by reference numeral 2024 indicates the type of service (here, "discount"), and the print information indicated by reference numeral 2025 indicates the content of the service (here, the content of discount "20 yen"). The print information indicated by reference numeral 2026 indicates the amount of the discount (here, "-20 yen") when the service is provided.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of the receipt (accounting slip) in the present embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the sequence of details relating to the registered products displayed in the area of reference numeral 2013 is printed together for each type of service. In this example, the product name of the registered product, the product unit price, the information indicating the declaration status of the price reduction, and the price reduction are summarized by each service type of no service, discount "10% discount", and discount "20 yen discount". Details such as the later registration amount are printed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the POS register 1 is declared when the price reduction is declared by the registration means for registering the product, the declaration means for declaring the price reduction (an example of service grant), and the declaration means. It is provided with a control means for reducing the price of a product registered later by the registration means. Further, when the termination condition is satisfied after the first declaration by the declaring means, the control means is between the first declaration and the termination condition (from the time when the first declaration is made to the time when the termination condition is satisfied). The goods registered in (between) are subject to the first declaration. With this configuration, the POS register 1 can reduce the work of associating the goods for the price reduction. Further, the POS register 1 does not need to be set for price reduction in advance. As a result, the work man-hours can be significantly reduced and efficient work can be performed. Therefore, the POS register 1 can efficiently reduce the prices of a plurality of products in a short time without setting in advance.

In the present embodiment, an example in which the declaring means declares a price reduction (discount, discount, change in selling price, etc.) has been described, but instead of the price reduction, points or benefits may be declared. For example, in a store where a point service in which points are given by using a point card is introduced, points may be given instead of a price reduction when purchasing a target product. For example, if the target product is registered during the declaration, points and benefits will be given. As described above, the declaring means according to the present embodiment may declare not only the price reduction but also the granting of various services (service granting) such as the granting of points and benefits.

For example, the termination condition may be a case where an operation of terminating a transaction is performed after the first declaration by the declaring means. The operation of ending the transaction is, for example, an operation of pressing the subtotal button in the POS register 1. Under this termination condition, the control means terminates the price reduction according to the first declaration.
According to this configuration, the POS register 1 ends the price reduction when the operation to end the transaction is performed, so that it is not necessary to perform the operation to end the first declaration at the end of the transaction. ..

Further, the above termination condition may be a case where the first declaration is made again after the first declaration by the declaring means. The control means terminates the service grant according to the first declaration under this termination condition.
According to this configuration, the POS register 1 can end the price reduction by the same operation as the start of the price reduction by the declaration. As a result, the operator can finish the declared price reduction with a simple operation.

Further, the termination condition may be a case where a second declaration different from the first declaration is made after the first declaration by the declaring means. Under this termination condition, the control means ends the price reduction according to the first declaration and starts the service grant according to the second declaration. With this configuration, the POS register 1 can start the price reduction by the second declaration without performing an operation for ending the first declaration. Therefore, the operator can reduce the price by a plurality of types of declarations with a simpler operation.

In addition, the above termination condition may be a prohibition condition for the quantity of goods or the classification of goods registered in the first declaration. The control means terminates the service grant according to the first declaration under this termination condition. For example, the POS register 1 includes a discriminating means for determining whether or not the quantity of the goods registered in the declaration satisfies the prohibition condition, and the control means controls the control means in which the quantity of the goods registered in the declaration satisfies the prohibition condition. If the discriminating means determines that the product has been used, the price reduction by declaration is terminated. With this configuration, the POS register 1 automatically ends the price reduction by the declaration when the quantity of the goods registered in the declaration satisfies the preset prohibition condition. This eliminates the need for the operator to register the goods while checking the quantity during the declaration.

Further, the discriminating means determines whether or not the classification of the products registered in the declaration satisfies the prohibition condition, and the POS register 1 determines the prohibition condition when the discriminating means determines that the classification of the products satisfies the prohibition condition. A notification means for notifying that the above is satisfied is provided. With this configuration, the POS register 1 notifies when the classification of the product registered in the declaration satisfies the preset prohibition condition. As a result, the operator can know that the price of the product cannot be reduced.

Further, the POS register 1 includes an output means for outputting the fact that the price reduction is declared when the price reduction is declared by the declaration means. For example, the POS register 1 includes, as an output means, a display means for displaying information indicating that the price reduction has been declared when the price reduction is declared by the declaration means. With this configuration, the POS register 1 indicates that it is being declared during the declaration of price reduction. As a result, the operator can easily determine whether or not the price reduction has been declared. The output means may be a printing means that prints the fact that the price reduction has been declared and issues a receipt. The printing means has a function of causing the printing unit 19 to print by executing a program read from the ROM 12 by the CPU 11. Further, the output means may be a notification means for notifying that the price reduction has been declared. A speaker, a buzzer, or the like that actually emits a sound or the like under the control of the notification means may be provided inside the POS register 1 or may be provided outside.

Further, the output means may output that the end condition is satisfied. For example, the POS register 1 includes, as an output means, a display means for displaying that the above termination condition is satisfied. As an example, when the above termination condition is satisfied, the POS register 1 displays a pop-up screen (see reference numeral 1450 in FIG. 6) in which a message notifying the end of the price reduction by declaration is displayed on the product registration screen.
According to this configuration, since the POS register 1 outputs that the price reduction by the declaration is completed, the operator can easily know that the price reduction is completed and the price of the product cannot be reduced.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes designs and the like within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the registered product meets the declaration prohibition condition (quantity prohibition condition or classification prohibition condition), the POS register 1 is displayed on the display unit 14 with a touch panel to notify the fact. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other notification means such as a buzzer sound may be used to notify that the prohibition condition is satisfied.

The above-mentioned POS is recorded by recording a program for realizing the function as the above-mentioned POS register 1 on a computer-readable recording medium, reading the program recorded on the recording medium into a computer system, and executing the program. Processing as register 1 may be performed. Here, "loading and executing a program recorded on a recording medium into a computer system" includes installing the program in the computer system. The term "computer system" as used herein includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Further, the "computer system" may include a plurality of computer devices connected via a network including a communication line such as the Internet, WAN, LAN, and a dedicated line. Further, the "computer-readable recording medium" refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, or a CD-ROM, or a storage device such as a hard disk built in a computer system. As described above, the recording medium in which the program is stored may be a non-transient recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The recording medium also includes an internal or external recording medium that can be accessed from the distribution server to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium of the distribution server may be different from the code of the program in a format that can be executed by the terminal device. That is, the format stored in the distribution server does not matter as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form that can be executed by the terminal device. The program may be divided into a plurality of parts, downloaded at different timings, and then combined by the terminal device, or the distribution server for distributing each of the divided programs may be different. Furthermore, a "computer-readable recording medium" is a volatile memory (RAM) inside a computer system that serves as a server or client when a program is transmitted via a network, and holds the program for a certain period of time. It shall also include things. Further, the above program may be for realizing a part of the above-mentioned functions. Further, it may be a so-called difference file (difference program) that can realize the above-mentioned function in combination with a program already recorded in the computer system.
