Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Outline] Of the single-item codes designated by the bar code (all digits of the bar code are referred to as single-item codes), significant digit information (items) can be designated to specify the corresponding single-item code. An aggregate output device for collectively outputting sales information is provided.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a POS system, and more particularly to improvement of a total output device that outputs sales information.

The sales amount, quantity, etc. of the products traded at the POS terminal are aggregated and output by the higher-level device connected to the POS terminal. All department codes were entered by an all-digit operator.

For this reason, there are problems such as operator's burden and operation time, and there is a demand for a total output device that solves these problems.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 3 (a) is a block diagram of the POS system, and FIG. 3 (b).
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a code system.

In FIG. 3 (a), 4 is a POS terminal equipped with a bar code reader, 2 is a controller that has a product file 3 and controls the POS terminal 4, and 1 is a workstation that performs sales total output and is a personal computer. And the like.

This POS system reads a bar code attached to a product to carry out a transaction, and the product is marked with two types of individual product codes as shown in FIG. 3 (b).

FIGS. 3 (b)-(I) are diagrams showing an example of source marking made by a maker.
The product item (single item) identification code is marked with 13 digits (JAN standard).

Further, FIGS. 3 (b) to (II) are diagrams showing in-store marking examples, which are marked at the store such as perishable foods, and together with the “02” code indicating the in-store marking, the department code. , Branch and leaf code, and price are entered.

In the POS terminal 4, when the source marking is read, the barcode is sent to the controller 2 to refer to the unit price, and after the transaction is completed, the quantity, amount, etc. are notified, and in the case of in-store marking, the bar code is displayed. The transaction is performed at the price described in the code, and the controller 2 is notified of the amount of money and the like after the transaction is completed.

The controller 2 refers to the price based on the product file 3 to notify the POS terminal 4 and records the transaction information in the corresponding single product code column of the product file 3.

Therefore, as shown in the data 53 in the file, the merchandise file 3 is composed of items such as a unit price, a quantity, and an amount of money using the single product code (13 digits) 51 as a key. Sales information 50 for each individual POS terminal and department is output.

In addition, when outputting by manufacturer or by individual item, the corresponding individual item code 51 is input from the all-digit keyboard 5.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The single item code is composed of significant codes such as by manufacturer or department. However, when outputting sales information by manufacturer, it is necessary to input all the corresponding single item codes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a total output device that designates a significant digit of a single product code and collectively outputs sales information of the corresponding single product code.

[Means for solving problems]

For the above purpose, the tabulation output device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 for explaining the principle of the present invention, stores a product file 3 in which product information is stored with a single product code 51 consisting of a plurality of digits as a key. A totalizing output device in a point-of-sale management system that totals sales information 50, and a search unit 9 that searches the product file 3 and detects a single product code that matches a specific digit position code among the specified single product codes. , Sales information of the detected single item code
Output unit 10 that extracts 50 from product file 3 and outputs them in batch
And so on.

[Action]

When totaling and outputting, instead of specifying and inputting all the individual item codes 51, specify the necessary digit position code, for example, the manufacturer identification code or branch and leaf code, etc., so that other codes are not included in the individual item code 51. Enter any symbol.

As a result, the search unit 9 divides the designated single-item code into unit codes, detects the single-item code in which each unit code matches, from the product file 3, and outputs the output unit 10
Outputs the detected sales information 50 of the single item code 51 from the product file 3 and outputs it.

From the above, for example, if only the manufacturer identification code is specified, all sales information 50 of the individual product code 51 of that manufacturer will be output, regardless of what symbol the other unit codes are composed of. You can save the time and effort of inputting.

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2A is a block diagram of the POS system of the embodiment,
FIG. 6B is an operation flowchart.

In FIG. 2 (a), 6 is a controller including the product file 3, 7 is a communication control unit that communicates with the workstation 1 and the POS terminal 4, 8 is a control unit of the controller 6, and 9 is a search unit. Further, 10 is an output unit provided in the workstation 1, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

As a method of designating the significant digit information 52 in the individual product code 51, for example, when designating a maker, "** ○○○○○ ********" is input from the workstation 1.

Here, * is a code representing arbitrary data, and ∘ is a designated manufacturer identification code.

When the controller 6 receives the total output command together with the above data, the search unit 9 searches the product file 3. That is, the single-item code 51 is read in all digits, for example, two digits are skipped from the beginning (shifted by two digits) and it is verified whether the following five digits match.

When the corresponding single item code 51 is detected, the sales information 50 of the single item code 51 is transferred to the workstation 1.

This search is performed for all the individual product codes 51 in the product file 3, and the workstation 1 edits the received individual product sales information 50 into a predetermined format and outputs it.
Output by 10.

Although the above shows each manufacturer, when the digit information such as a product item or a leaf is input, the sales information of the corresponding product is collectively output.

As a method of specifying digit information, a specified code may be entered after the first significant digit number of the other significant digits, or the specified digit information may be entered together with a specific code indicating each manufacturer or each department. There is a method such as doing.

From the above, without entering all the individual product codes,
Single item sales information for specified items can be collectively tabulated and output.

〔The invention's effect〕

Since the present invention provides a method of collectively outputting sales information of individual items showing a significant grouping, the effect of reducing the operator's burden and the time required to input the individual item code is extremely great.
