Here, the keyboard 36 is dedicated to a POS terminal provided with a numeral key, a commodity code key, a subtotal key, a clear key and the like, as well as a closing key 36a for declaring the end of registration of all the sold products purchased by one customer. Keyboard. Also,
The scanner 37 optically reads a bar code, and a bar code symbol representing the product code as a bar code is printed or attached to each product.

The product code input means in the POS terminal 1 is composed of a keyboard 36 and a scanner 37.

The receipt / journal printer 42 prints data such as characters on roll-shaped receipt paper and journal paper. The printed receipt paper is ejected from a receipt issuing port (not shown), cut and issued, and The paper is wound inside the POS terminal.

As shown in FIG. 7, the RAM 33 is a transaction memory 51 for cumulatively storing sales registration data such as sales points and sales amounts of each sale item for each transaction such as department code, cashier, and time zone. A total amount memory 52 for storing the total amount of all the products purchased by one customer and the number of points purchased.
A flag memory 53 for registering a flag that is set during registration of a product purchased by a customer is formed.

In the RAM 33, a guarantee data memory 54 is formed as a guarantee data storage means for storing the guarantee data for one customer. This warranty data memory 5
The warranty data stored in 4 is the product code, product name,
It is composed of points and guarantee period data. In addition, a data number counter 54 that counts the number of stored guarantee data
a is also provided.

Further, the RAM 33 is provided with an issue number set value memory 55 for storing the issue number setting value N of the guarantee and an issue number counter 56 for counting the issue number n of the guarantee. The issuance number set value memory 55 is preset with the issuance number of guarantees for one product. For example, when the customer's copy and the shop copy are required as the guarantee, the set number N = 2 is set.

Then, the CPU 31 uses the keyboard 3
6 or the product code input means of the scanner 38 inputs a product code, the program is configured to execute the work shown in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, when the input of the product code is detected, it is checked in ST11 whether or not the registration flag is set in the flag memory 53. Here, if the product code of the first product purchased by one customer has been input when it has been reset, the registering flag is set in the flag memory 53 as ST12, and the total amount memory 52 as ST13. And the warranty data memory 54 is cleared. The data number counter 54a is also cleared to "0". If the registration flag is already set in ST11, the product codes of the second and subsequent products purchased by one customer have been input, and therefore the processes of ST12 and ST13 are not performed.

Next, at ST14, if the product code input message is set by setting the product code input in the data section DA of the data format shown in FIG. 4A, this inquiry message is sent to the communication interface 35. And to the store processor 2 via the communication line 3.

As a result, since the response message having the data format shown in FIG. 4B or 4C is transmitted from the store processor 2, this response message is received via the communication interface 35 at ST15. Then ST
As 16, the sales registration data of the number of sales and the sales amount is acquired based on the product data included in the data section DA of the response message. Here, the sales point is set to a multiplier when the multiplier is input by the keyboard 36 immediately before the product code is input, and is set to "1" when the multiplier is not input. The sales amount is calculated by multiplying the unit price in the product data by the number of sales points.

Next, at ST17, it is judged whether or not the guarantee data is present in the response message. If it does not exist, the warranty is not required and the product is registered for sale.
As T18, sales detail data is created from the department code and the product name in the product data and the sales registration data, supplied to the printer drive circuit 43, and the receipt / journal printer 42 receives the sales detail data on the receipt paper and the journal paper. Print it. Further, the sales detail data is supplied to the display controller 41 and displayed on the cashier display 40a and the customer display 40b.

After that, in ST21, the sales registration data is cumulatively processed in the transaction-specific memory 51, and the sales amount and the sales points are added and registered in the total amount memory 52. Then, the present work is terminated.

On the other hand, when the response message includes the guarantee data in ST17, the data obtained by adding the sales points of the sales registration data to the guarantee data is added to the guarantee data memory 54 in ST19. At this time, the data number counter 54a is incremented by "+1".

The guarantee data storage means is constituted by the guarantee data memory 54 and the processing of ST19 of the product code input operation executed by the CPU 31.

Next, in step ST20, the CPU 31 creates sales detail data from the department code and product name in the product data and the sales registration data, supplies the sales detail data to the printer drive circuit 43, and the receipt / journal printer 42 receives the receipt paper and Have the sales details data printed on a journal sheet. At this time, in order to distinguish from a product that does not require the issuance of a guarantee, a guarantee mark (“Q” in this embodiment) is used.
And) is added to print the sales detail data. In addition, the sales detail data is supplied to the display controller 41, and the cashier display 40a and the customer display 40b are supplied.
To display. In this case as well, a warranty mark may be added and displayed in order to distinguish from a product that does not require the issuance of a warranty.

After that, in ST21, the sales registration data is cumulatively processed in the transaction memory 51, and the sales amount and the sales points are added and registered in the total amount memory 52. Then, the present work is terminated.

The CPU 31 has a keyboard 36.
When the closing key 36a is input, the program is configured to execute the work shown in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, when the input of the closing key 36a is detected, it is confirmed in ST31 that the registering flag is set in the flag memory 53. If it is not set, it is an error because the tightening key 36a has been operated despite the fact that the purchased product for one customer has not been registered for sale.

When it is confirmed that the registration flag is set in ST31, the total amount data and the purchase amount data in the total amount memory 52 are supplied to the printer drive circuit 43 in ST32, and the receipt / journal printer 42 is operated. The receipt paper and the journal paper are printed in total, and the total amount data is supplied to the display controller 41 to be displayed in total on the cashier display 40a and the customer display 40b. After that, ST33
Then, a receipt issuing command is sent to the printer drive circuit 43 to issue a receipt.

Next, in ST34, it is determined whether or not the guarantee data is stored in the guarantee data memory 54 from the count value of the data number counter 54a (data presence / absence determining means).

When the count value of the data number counter 54a is "0", the warranty data is not stored, so the registering flag in the flag memory 53 is reset, and this operation is terminated.

On the other hand, in ST34, the data number counter 54
When the count value of a is "1" or more and the warranty data is stored, the warranty data corresponding to each product in the warranty data memory 54 is collectively set in advance in a program in ST35. Warranty print data for one sheet is created by incorporating it into the print format of the written warranty (warranty print data creation means).

Next, at ST36, the issued number counter 5
If the count value n of 6 is initialized to "0", ST3
The guarantee print data created as 7 is supplied to the printer drive circuit 43, and the receipt / journal printer 42 prints the guarantee print data on the receipt paper and the journal paper. After printing, a receipt issue command is sent to the printer drive circuit 43 to issue a guarantee (guarantee issue control means).

Next, at ST38, the issued number counter 5
When 6 is incremented by "+1", it is determined at ST39 whether the count value n of the issued number counter 56 has reached the set value N set in the issued number set value memory 55. If not reached, ST37
Then, the printing and issuance of the same warranty is controlled again.

When it is confirmed in ST39 that the number of issued sheets n matches the set value N, the registering flag in the flag memory 53 is reset, and then this job is terminated.

In this embodiment having the above configuration,
FIG. 10 shows an example of the receipt 60 and the guarantee 70 issued to the same customer. In the figure, (a) is a receipt 6
0 is an issue example, and (b) is an issue example of the guarantee 70.

That is, the product code "12344567", the product "refrigerator" with the link department code "123", and the product code "9876" as products requiring the issuance of a warranty
Customers who purchased “543” and the product “Cooler” with the link department code “123” and also purchased the product “Electrical code” with the product code “XXXXXXX” and the link department code “005” as products that do not require the issuance of a warranty. It is an example issued to.

In this case, the product data file 5

Sales details data with warranty mark of "3, cooler, Q, \ 200.000" is printed, and "9876543, cooler, 1, 1" is stored in the warranty data memory 54.
The warranty data of is stored.

Next, the cashier uses the product code input means to display the product code “XXXXXXX” of the product “electric code”.
When "X" is entered, the store processor 2 is queried for the product code and the corresponding product data is returned.
Then, the receipt / journal printer 42 prints the sales statement data “005, electric code, ¥ 2.000” on the receipt paper and the journal paper.

Next, when the cashier operates the tightening key 36a, the total amount data "352000" and the purchase amount data "3" in the total amount memory 52 are read, and the receipt / journal printer 42 receives the receipt paper and the journal paper. To "Total \ 352.00
"0" and "3 points to buy" are printed.

Thereafter, if the transaction number of the transaction number counter that counts up each time a receipt is issued and the respective data of the responsible person number of the relevant cashier registered in advance are printed on the receipt paper and the journal paper, the receipt The sheet is cut and the receipt 60 is issued.

Before cutting, the receipt paper has a logo mark (region R) for the next transaction and the clock circuit 34.
The date, day of the week, and time data read from the printer and the preset POS terminal ID number are printed in order, and the transaction number and the responsible person number data and the logo mark are cut off. ing.

Subsequently, the warranty data for each of the products "refrigerator" and "cooler" is read from the warranty data memory 54, incorporated into the warranty print format preset on the program, and the warranty print data is created. It Then, the guarantee print data is printed on the receipt paper and the journal paper by the receipt / journal printer 42, and when the printing for one sheet is completed, the receipt paper is cut and is issued as the warranty 70.

At this time, the issued number setting value N is "2".
If is set, the guarantee print data is printed again on the receipt paper and the journal paper by the receipt / journal printer 42, the receipt paper is cut, and two identical guarantees 70 are eventually issued. .

In the case of issuing the warranty card 70 of FIG. 10B, the warranty card format data includes a warranty card title field 71, an address, name and telephone number field 72, a person in charge stamp field 73 and a message field 74. Including.

In this way, if two guarantees are issued following the receipt, the cashier hands one of the guarantees together with the receipt 60 as a customer copy, and the remaining one of the guarantees.
You can keep the sheets as a store copy.

As described above, according to this embodiment, if the product for which the product code is input through the keyboard 36 or the scanner 38 of the POS terminal 1 is a product that requires the issuance of a guarantee, the response message from the store processor 2 is transmitted. Guarantee data such as the warranty period is added to the sentence along with product data such as the unit price of the product. Then, the sales registration data is cumulatively processed based on the product data, and the warranty data is stored in the warranty data memory 54. After that, when the end of registration of one customer is declared by inputting the closing key 36a, a receipt for the customer is issued, and then the warranty print data based on the warranty data for one customer stored in the warranty data memory 54. Is created, printed on receipt paper by the receipt / journal printer 42, and a warranty is issued.

Therefore, the operator (casher) of the POS terminal 1 does not need to be aware of whether or not the product to be registered is a product that requires the issuance of a guarantee, and simply enters the product code to automatically apply the product code. Since the product warranty is issued, the burden on the operator can be reduced. In addition, since the trouble of restarting the transaction with the customer from the beginning due to forgetting to operate the warranty issuance declaration key cannot occur, the customer will not be distrusted and the operational efficiency of the operator will be reduced. Nor.

If one customer purchases a product for which a plurality of guarantees are required to be issued, the warranty certificate data of the corresponding product is printed on one warranty and the customer side You can get a certificate that is easy for both the store and the store to manage. In addition, since the warranty is issued separately from the receipt, each is very easy to see.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the sales detail data of the customer-purchased product is printed on the receipt paper, the data of the product for which a warranty is issued has a function of printing with a predetermined warranty mark "Q" added. It is provided to distinguish it from product data that does not require the issuance of a guarantee. Therefore, by comparing the content of the receipt and the content of the warranty, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the warranty for the product requiring the warranty is correctly issued.

Further, in the present embodiment, the issue number set value memory 55 and the issue number counter 56 are provided so that the guarantees of the number set in the issue number set value memory 55 can be continuously issued. There is. Therefore, for example, when two copies are required, one for the customer copy and one for the store copy, it is possible to automatically obtain the same two certificates by simply setting the issue number "2" in advance. is there.

Next, the second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the warranty card for the customer copy and the warranty card for the shop copy are printed in exactly the same format. However, in the second embodiment, the warranty card for the customer copy and the warranty card for the shop copy are shown in FIG. The formats are distinguished. In the figure, (a) is a warranty card 70a for customer copy, and (b) is a warranty card 70b for shop copy.

The warranty print data created in ST48 is supplied to the printer drive circuit 43, and the receipt / journal printer 42 prints the warranty print data on the receipt paper and the journal paper. After that, the registering flag is reset and the current work is ended.

By adopting such a configuration, 1
It is possible to automatically obtain two types of guarantee certificate for customer copy 70a and warranty copy for store copy 70b as guarantees for products purchased by customers.

Next, the third embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment, the receipt 60 is issued and then the warranty card 70 is printed and issued. In the third embodiment, the tightening key 3 is used.
The receipt 60 is issued after issuing the guarantee 70 according to the operation input of 6a.

In this way, in order to replace the issuance timing of the receipt 60 and the guarantee 70, the product code inputting work shown in FIG. 8 in the first embodiment is changed as shown in FIG. The closing key input work shown in FIG. 9 may be changed as shown in FIG.

That is, in the product code inputting operation, in response to the input of the product code, the store processor 2 is inquired about the product code, the response message is received, and the sales registration data of the registered product is obtained. It is similar to the embodiment.

On the other hand, in the third embodiment, sales detail data is created from the acquired sales registration data and the received product data, and the sales detail data is used as the cashier display 40a and the customer display 40b. And the receipt print data memory newly formed in the RAM 33. Here, the receipt print data memory is a memory area capable of storing sales detail data for one customer and total data thereof.

Next, the presence or absence of warranty data is checked, and if there is, it is stored in the warranty data memory 54. After that, if the sales registration data is cumulatively processed in the transaction-specific memory 51 and the sales amount and the number of sales points are added and registered in the total amount memory 52, the present work is terminated.

On the other hand, the closing key input operation is performed by the closing key 36.
The total data in the total amount memory 52 is displayed according to the input of a, and the total print data is created based on the total data and stored in the receipt print data memory.

Thereafter, when the data is stored in the warranty data memory 54, the warranty for the set number of sheets is printed and issued using the receipt paper as in the first embodiment.

Next, the contents of the receipt print data memory are printed out on the receipt paper and the journal paper by the receipt / journal printer 42, and the receipt is issued. After that, the registering flag is reset and the current work is ended.

By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to issue the guarantee 70 before the receipt 60. Therefore, the receipt 60 is always given to the customer, and the operator is in front of the POS terminal 1 until the receipt is issued, so that the operator does not forget to give the guarantee 70 to the customer.

In the third embodiment, only the journal printing may be performed at the same timing as the receipt / journal printing in the first embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the present invention can be applied to a single electronic cash register by providing the product data file 5 and the warranty data file 6 in a storage device such as a hard disk device or a RAM mounted in the electronic cash register. In addition, it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
