Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data input device for inputting sales data and the like.

(b) Prior Art and Problems Data input devices that allow product delivery sources to easily create delivery slips, etc. are becoming widespread. By operating a data input key, processing related to input data is performed and a slip is output, and if necessary, this processed data can be sent to the center via a communication line. In such a device, for example, when inputting sales data, the conventional method requires inputting three items: product code (or product name), unit price, and quantity, which has the disadvantage of complicating input operations. .

(c) Purpose of the Invention The present invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a data input device that facilitates data input operations.

(d) Structure of the Invention The present invention provides an apparatus that includes an input section, a display section, and a control section, and performs predetermined processing on data from the input section, in which a key for specifying a customer type is provided in the input section. and a first storage unit having a plurality of tables in which product identification codes and unit price data of the products corresponding to each customer type are stored in correspondence with each other; a search means for retrieving a corresponding table from the first storage section and displaying it on the display section; and when quantity data corresponding to the identification code of the product displayed on the display section is input from the input section; , a processing section that retrieves unit price data corresponding to the quantity data from the table and performs a multiplication process of the unit price data and the quantity data; and a second storage section that stores the results in correspondence with the identification code of the product. In a product transaction, for example, the transaction item may be fixed by the customer. For such customers, a table is prepared in advance in which product (identification) codes and unit prices are stored in a predetermined order. Then, after confirming the first item code (or product name) and unit price stored in this table by, for example, outputting it to the display section, simply inputting the quantity of the product (for example, sales data), the processing section (unit price) x (quantity) = sales amount can be calculated. Furthermore, once the processing for the first item is completed, the product code (and unit price) for the next item will be output and displayed, so if you input the sales data for this product, the sales amount (unit price x quantity) of the product will be calculated. be done. In this way, the present invention
By simply inputting quantity data in a predetermined order, the unit price data of the product code corresponding to the quantity data is retrieved, and by multiplying the two, it is possible to automatically calculate the sales amount in the order of input data. .

(e) Examples of the invention The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. The drawing is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present invention.
File 1 in the drawing contains product tables P~
Z is available. For example, in the first item of the product table P, the e column stores the product code A, the f column stores the product name a, and the g column stores the unit price data "50." Similarly, in paragraph 2 and below, product (name) b ~
Product codes B to J and unit price data related to j are stored as shown. This product table P
is set for customer A, for example, and other product tables Q to Z (for example, for other customers) have products in different patterns (product code arrangement or different product items). Code, product name, and unit price data are stored.

In the drawing, for example, in the case of a transaction with customer A, the customer type key K on the keyboard 2 is operated to input designation data p. This data p is sent to the search unit 4 via the control unit 3. This accesses product table P in file 1 of search section 4,
Extract the data in item 1 (product code A or product name a). This data is sent to the display control section 5 via the control section 3, so the product code A is displayed on the display section 6.
(or product name a) is displayed. After checking the product name by looking at this display, the operator inputs the sales quantity D (for example, "100") of the product by operating the numeric keys N. This quantity data D is sent to the processing unit 7 via the control unit 3, so the processing unit 7 uses the search unit 4 to find the unit price data “50” in column g of the first item of the product table P and the quantity data D (“100”). ), and the obtained sales data "5000" is stored in column h of the first term of data area 9 of memory 8. At this time, the product code A, product name a, and unit price data "50" of the product table P are stored in columns e', f', and g' of the first item of the data area 9, respectively. When this storage is completed, the search unit 4 searches the product table P
The product code B (or product name b) in the second term is extracted and sent to the display control section 5. Therefore, the product code B (or product name b), which is the next data to be input, will be automatically displayed on the display section 6. After confirming the product (name), the operator enters the sales quantity data (for example, "70").
Sales calculation (30)×(70) for product b is performed using the same processing procedure as described above, and the obtained calculation result (“2100”) is stored in column h of the second term of data area 9. After inputting the data in this way, the sales slip 11 can be easily obtained by outputting the data in the data area 9 from the printer 10. Note that for different customers, product tables Q to Z in file 1 can be specified and retrieved for use.

(f) Effects of the invention As described above, the present invention makes it possible to automatically calculate the sales amount of a product corresponding to the quantitative data by simply inputting the quantitative data, and improves the operability of input. It has the advantage of significantly improving
