Definitions

  • This invention relates to an electronic cash register (also referred to as an "ECR"), and more particularly to an elec­tronic cash register in which a cashier code or the like is entered before a registering operation to improve the security of the registering operation.
  • ECR electronic cash register
  • Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the arrangement of a conventional ECR, and is useful in explaining the background of the invention.
  • a CPU 1 is connected to a keyboard 2, a RAM 3, a ROM 4, a printer 5, a display unit 6, and a time piece 7.
  • the keyboard 2 as shown in Fig. 6, has a ten-key pad for entering the code numbers of commodities or amounts of money, and instruction keys for performing various instructions.
  • the RAM 3 is used to temporarily store various data entered through the keyboard 2.
  • the printer 5 is used to print receipts and various reports.
  • the display unit 6 operates to display operating guide messages or symbols and data entered by means of the keyboard 2.
  • the time piece 7 is used to record the time of recurrence of various operations.
  • the keyboard includes the ten-key pad as well as instruction keys, A-key, R-key, Dept., Sub-Total and D/C.
  • Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an operating sequence car­ried out by a cashier with a conventional ECR.
  • the manager of a store assigns cashier codes to cashiers responsible for respective ECRs, and the cashiers ope­rate the ECRs by using their assigned cashier code.
  • each cashier operates the ten-­key pad of the keyboard (Fig. 6) to enter the cashier code assigned to him and then operates a"RESPONSIBLE" key (R-key in Fig. 6). If, in this operation, the cashier code thus entered coincides with one preset in the ECR, then the cashier can carry out a registering operation; however, if not, he cannot.
  • the purpose of the cashier code is to identify the cashier who has carried out the registering operation; i.e., to identify who is responsible for the registering operation, there­by preventing dishonest ECR operation and to monitor the sales of each cashier.
  • an object of this invention is to elimi­nate the above-described security risk accompanying a conven­tional electronic cash register. More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide an electronic cash register which cannot be dishonestly operated by the manager.
  • This objective is accomplished in an ECR constructured in accordance with the invention, by allowing a registering ope­ration to occur only when, in addition to the ordinary cashier code, a predetermined secret code, known only to the cashier, is entered by the cashier.
  • the ECR Since the registering operation can only occur when both the cashier code, which is known by the manager, and the secret code, known only by the cashier, are entered, the ECR is prevented from being dishonestly operated by the manager.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the operating sequence carried out with a preferred embodiment of this invention
  • Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the arrangement of a cashier file in the preferred embodiment
  • Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the arrangement of a cashier temporary file in the preferred embodi­ment
  • Fig. 4 is a flow chart showing the operation of the preferred embodiment.
  • Fig. 1(a) shows an operating sequence for setting a cashier code in the ECR.
  • a new setting operation for a cashier code is carried out as follows: The operating keys of the key­board of the ECR are operated to enter the cashier code (for example a three digit code), and then the "RESPONSIBLE” key (R) is operated. Thereafter, in this case, because the cashier secret code will be added, the digit "1" is entered by operating the ten-key pad, and then "SUB TOTAL" and “ALTERNATION” (A) keys are operated.
  • This data entry sequence causes the ECR to search the cashier files (shown in Fig.
  • Fig. 1(b) shows an operating sequence for setting a secret code. This is carried out after the cashier code has been correctly set according to the operating sequence of Fig. 1(a).
  • the keyboard of the ECR is operated to enter a secret code (for example a three digit code), and then the cashier code, the "RESPONSIBLE'" (R) key and the "ALTERNATION” (A) key are operated successively.
  • the cashier code areas of the cashier files are then searched for the entered cashier code.
  • the entered secret code is then set in the secret code area of that cashier file containing the cashier code.
  • the same cashier code is not found, it is determined that the entered cashier code is in error, and it is requested that the cashier code be corrected.
  • the cashier code and the secret code are set as de­scribed above. And they can be removed as described below.
  • a secret code which has been set can be removed accord­ing to the operating sequence shown in Fig. 1(b).
  • "000" is entered as the secret code.
  • the operation is similar to the above-described secret code setting operation.
  • the secret code in the secret code area of that file is erased; that is, the secret code area is cleared. Accordingly, the operator's cashier file for the cashier code remains as it is. Therefore, in set­ting a new secret code, it is unnecessary to set the cashier code; that is, the new secret code can be set according to the operating sequence shown in Fig. 1(b).
  • Fig. 1(c) shows a so-called “cashier-on” operating sequence for starting the use of the ECR.
  • the keyboard of the ECR is operated to enter a cashier code and secret code, and the "RESPONSIBLE” (R) key is operated.
  • R the "RESPONSIBLE"
  • All the cashier codes and secret codes set in the cashier files are searched according to the entered cashier code and secret code (step 101). When the same codes as the two entered codes are not found, it is determined (step 103) that the entry operation is in error, and the erroneous entry operation is displayed (step 105). The "cashier-on" operation is then ended, and no registering operation is permitted.
  • step 103 the contents of the operator's cashier file thereof are transferred to the cashier temporary file (shown in Fig. 3) set in the RAM of the ECR (step 107). When this occurs, the usual registering operation of the ECR is permitted (step 109), and the registering data are updated in the cashier temp­orary file as registering operations occur.
  • a so-called "cashier-off" operation (step 111) shown in Fig. 1(d) is executed.
  • the keyboard of the ECR is operated to enter the digit "O”, and then the "RESPONSIBLE” (R) key is ope­rated.
  • R the "RESPONSIBLE”
  • the contents of the cashier temporary file set in the RAM of the ECR are transferred, as they are, to the correspondsing area of the cashier file (step 113) and the "cashier-off" operation is then ended.
  • the registering operation of the ECR can be started again according to the above-described procedure.
  • the order of entering the secret code and the cashier code and the numbers of digits of the codes have been specified in detail; however, the invention is not so limited; that is, the technical concept of the invention is applicable where the cashier and secret codes are entered in other sequences and where a fewer or greater number of digits are used for the secret and cashier codes.
  • the cashier file is separate from the cashier temporary file, which is a working file; however, it is not always necessary that the former be separate from the latter. That is, the entered ECR registration data can be updated directly in the cashier file.
  • the ECR cannot be operated without using the cashier's secret code which the manager does not know. Therefore, the ECR cannot be dis­honestly operated by the manager. Furthermore, as in the con­ventional ECR, in the ECR of the invention the person responsible for the registering operation is identified. Thus, the ECR of the invention has a much higher security than conventional ECR's.
