Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device applied to electronic cash registers and POS (point of sale) systems.

[Prior Art] For example, in a product sales data processing device such as an electronic cash register or a POS system, a product code (JAN code) is set for each product.

Equipped with a product registration data file in which registration data such as the product's unit price, product name, various necessary information (status), etc. are set in advance according to UPC code, EAN code, etc., and the product code is input from an input section such as a keyboard. When this happens, the product registration data file is searched, the registration data corresponding to the corresponding product code is read out, the product name and unit price, etc. are displayed in print, and the number of sales items (usually 1) and sales amount (unit price x number of items) are displayed. For example, there is a system that aggregates sales data by cumulatively registering each product code.

In this type of device, it is necessary to check whether or not the product registration data file can be searched correctly by inputting the product code at the time of installation in a store and subsequent maintenance and inspection. This type of inspection is usually carried out by a professional inspector (service person), but the method is to manually input the product code to be inspected one after another from a keyboard in a test mode, and check the displayed contents at that time.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when testing using this method, it is necessary to enter tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of product codes manually, which is complicated and requires a lot of effort and time. It also costs a huge amount,
It was extremely inefficient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a product sales data processing device that can reduce the labor and time required to check whether a product registration data file is correctly searched by inputting a product code, and can improve efficiency. That is.

[Means for solving the problem] As shown in FIG. The product registration data file B stores the registration data b of the applicable product, and the product registration data file B is searched based on the product code a input to the input section, and the registration data corresponding to the applicable product code a is searched. In the product sales data processing device that registers sales data C of sales products according to b, a code setting means sets a product code a inputted from the input section A, and a product code a set by the setting means is set. An automatic product code update means E that automatically updates product codes in sequence; an automatic sales registration processing means F that registers sales data of applicable sales products based on product codes updated by this update means E; and this registration processing means F. and a registration number setting means G for setting the number of registration processing times.

In addition to the first invention, the second invention of the present application is provided with a product code storage means opening for storing and holding the product code set by the code setting means H, and the product code stored and held by the storage means H is stored as the product code. The information is automatically updated sequentially by an automatic update means E.

[Operation] If the product sales data processing device takes the first invention,
Every time the product code set by the code setting means is sequentially updated by the product code automatic update means, the automatic sales registration processing means searches the product registration data file based on the product code and reads out the corresponding registration data. , Sales data of sales products are registered using this registration data. Then, the process ends when the registration process is performed the number of times set by the registration number setting means. Therefore, by simply setting the product code and the number of times of registration processing using the setting means, the same registration processing as when inputting the product code while updating it sequentially is executed.

Furthermore, in the product sales data processing device according to the second invention, the product code set by the code setting device is stored and held by the product code storage device, so that even if the same product code is set in the future, In this case, there is no need to perform setting operations using the setting means.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the product sales data processing device in this embodiment. CPU (central processing unit) 1
has a built-in arithmetic circuit, memory control circuit, etc., performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on each insertion force data, and also has a ROM 3 for storing fixed data such as programs via the pass line 2, input data, and arithmetic processing. The RAM 4 for storing variable data such as data is operated. Also, by inputting a command signal from the control key 5, cp
A control key input circuit 6 converts the code into a code that can be processed by the UI, inputs key signals from the keyboard 7, and c
A keyboard input circuit 8 that converts into a key code that can be processed by PVI, the product name input from the keyboard 7,
A display control circuit 10 that drives and controls the display 9 that displays unit prices and the like. Printer 1 that prints on receipts and journals
A printer/drawer control circuit 13 that drives and controls the CPU 1 and opens the drawer 12, and a disk control circuit 15 that writes and reads data to and from the disk memory 14 are connected to the CPU 1 via the path line 2. .

The control key 5 is used to control power on/off and to instruct the CPU 1 to execute various operation modes as a product sales data processing device such as "registration", "payment", "setting", and "test". It is operated with a key. In addition, "registration" refers to the sales amount of the sold product,
This is a task of cumulatively registering the number of items sold, etc. in the storage unit, calculating the total amount, and printing the results on the receipt.

"Settlement" is, for example, the total sales amount that is cumulatively registered in the storage unit by "registration" at the end of the day's work.

This is the job of printing the total sales points, etc. on recording paper and clearing the contents of the memory unit. "Setting" is a task in which data used in tasks such as "registration" and "payment" are preset in the storage unit. "Test" is a task for inspecting whether the device in question operates normally.

As shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard 7 includes a number key 21 for entering the product code of the product for sale, etc., a subtotal key 22 for calculating the subtotal of products registered for sale for one customer. In addition to product registration keys such as the current total key 23 to declare the end of sales registration processing for one customer, the code key 24 to declare that the number data is a JAN code as a product code, etc., there are also clear keys. Various function keys such as a key 25, an interrupt key 26, and an exchange key 27 are provided.

As shown in FIG. 4, the disk memory 14 stores a product code (for example, JAN code) set for each product sold.
Correspondingly, a product registration data file 31 is formed in which registration data such as the product name, unit price, and necessary information (status) of the product are set and stored.

The RAM 4 includes, as shown in FIG. 5, a setting key memory 41, a setting key counter 42, a registration number counter 43, a setting key buffer 44, and a set number flag F1. code flag F
2. A flag memory 45 is formed that stores each clear flag F3. In this embodiment, the setting key memory 41 has 15 digits. Further, the setting key buffer 44 has a plurality of 15-digit buffer areas, and each buffer area has A1. Addresses A2... are assigned in order.

The CPU 1 executes the process shown in FIG. 6 by the test mode program in the ROMa while the control key 5 is commanding the execution of the test mode. That is, it waits for key input from the keyboard 7, and when the numeric key 21 is inputted in ST1, it is checked in ST2 whether or not the clear flag F3 is set in the flag memory 45, and if it is reset, the inputted numeric value is The key code of the key is stored in the upper digit of the empty area in the setting key memory 41. At this time, the setting key counter 42 is updated by "+1", the setting flag F1 is set in the flag memory 45, and the process returns to waiting for a key input. On the other hand, if the clear flag F3 is set in ST2, the input key code is converted into position number data and set in the registration number counter 43, the clear flag F3 is reset, and the process returns to waiting for key input.

If the numeric key 21 is not input in ST1 and the code key 24 is input in ST3, the numeric value 7 is stored in the flag memory 45.
After confirming that the lag F1 is set, the key code of the code key 24 is stored in the upper digit of the empty area in the setting key memory 41. At this time, the setting key counter 42 is updated by "+1", the numeric flag F1 is reset, the code flag F2 is set, and the process returns to wait for key input.

If the numeric key 21F3 and code key 24 are not input in STI and ST3, and the clear key 25 is input in ST4, the code flag F2 is set in the flag memory 45. After full 1, the clear key is pressed. 25 key codes are stored in an empty area in the setting key memory 41. At this time, the setting key counter 42 is updated by +1'', the code flag F2 is reset, and the clear flag F
Set 3 and return to waiting for key power.

The above key processing constitutes a code setting means for setting a product code and a registration number setting means for setting the number of times of registration processing. That is, first input the product code to be set using the number keys 21, then input the code key 24 to declare that the input data is a product code, and then press the clear key 25 to indicate the end of input. Enter. Then, the necessary product code is set in the setting code memory 41. In this case, when the number of times of registration processing is entered using the number key 21, this number data is set in the registration number counter 43 as the number of times of registration processing.

In FIG. 6, ST1. Set number key 21 in ST3 and ST4. If the code key 24 and clear key 25 are not input and the current total key 23 is input in ST5, each key code stored in the setting key memory 41 is transferred to the buffer area of the starting address A1 of the setting key buffer 44. do. Next, the key codes in this buffer area are read again from the most significant digits, and transferred to the key processing module in the CPU 1 in the order in which they were read. Then, each time one key code is read, the setting key counter 42 is decremented by "a - I 11", and when this counter 42 becomes [0], all the key codes in the relevant buffer area are sent to the key processing module. Since it has been transferred, set the registration number counter 43 to 1.
Subtract 111. Here, if the counter 43 is [0], this test mode process ends. Further, the test mode processing is also terminated when the input of the interrupt key 26 is detected. The counter 43 is not [0] and the interrupt key 26
If no input is detected, the key code of the numeric key 21 in the setting key memory 41 is extracted, and the key code of the lowest digit is set to the number one higher than the number corresponding to this key code (for example, if O is 1 , however, if it is 9, carry is carried out as 0). Then, it is stored in the next address of the setting key buffer 44 along with the key codes corresponding to the code key 24 and clear key 25, the setting key counter 42 is returned to the initial value before the countdown, and the setting key counter 42 is read out sequentially from the upper digits as in the case described above. and transfers it to the key processing module (product code automatic update means).

Note that this process ends when the counter 43 reaches [01] or when the interrupt key 26 is input, but at this time, the setting key memory 41. Setting key counter 42, registration number counter 43. Clear each setting key buffer 44.

FIG. 7 shows the processing of the CPU 1 in the key processing module. That is, each time a key code is given, the CPU 1 converts it into key data using the key code/key data conversion table, and if the key data is the clear key 25, the key data converted so far is the numeric key 21. If the code key is 24, the numeric data is recognized as the product code,
The product registration data buffer 31 in the disk memory 14 is searched using this product code. If the corresponding product food is set, as shown in Figure 8, the product name [A] and unit price [¥1] corresponding to the corresponding code will be displayed.
00] is displayed on the display 9, and the process ends. On the other hand, if the corresponding code does not exist, a message indicating that there is no data is displayed and the process ends (automatic sales registration processing means).

In the device of this embodiment configured as described above, for example, when checking whether the product registration data file 31 can be searched accurately using the product code input at the time of installation in a store or periodic maintenance inspection. , the inspector operates as follows. First, select the test mode using the control key 5, then operate the numeric key 21 to select the smallest product code to be inspected (for example, JAN code 4900000).
000001), then press the code key 24
and input the clear key 25. Then, the product code entered in the setting key memory 41 and the code key 24
and the key code of the clear key 25 are stored. Further, the number of key manpower (15 in the case of JAN code) is set in the setting key counter 42.

Thereafter, when the number key 21 is operated to enter the number of product codes to be inspected (for example, 10,000), this number is set in the registration counter 43.

In this state, input the current total key 23. Then, the key code in the setting key memory 41 is transferred to the setting key buffer 44.
The key code is then read in order from the most significant digit and passed to the key processing module.

Then, when the last key code (the key code of the clear key 25) is passed to the key processing module, the registration number counter 43 is counted down. Thereafter, the product code in the setting key memory 41 is updated by "+1" and stored in the next address of the setting key buffer 44, and the key codes in this buffer 44 are sequentially passed to the key processing module again. The above process is repeated until the product code is updated the number of times set in 43 or until the interrupt key is input.

On the other hand, when the key processing module is activated by the CPU 1, the product registration data file 31 is searched using the passed product code, and the product name and unit price of the corresponding product are read out and displayed on the display 9. Therefore, every time the product code in the setting key memory 41 is updated, the product registration data file 31 is searched using the updated product code, and the product name and unit price corresponding to the product code are read out and displayed. .

According to this embodiment, the minimum product code and number of product codes to be inspected are set by operating the keyboard 7,
When activated, the set product codes are automatically updated sequentially up to the final (maximum) product code for inspection, and the product registration data file 31 is searched based on these updated product codes to find the corresponding product name. , unit price, etc. are displayed on the display 9. Therefore, the inspector can check in a short time whether or not the product registration data file 31 is being searched correctly using the product code to be inspected just by visually checking the display. This eliminates the need to manually input all information, which reduces labor, reduces inspection time, and improves efficiency.In addition, the product code is automatically updated, eliminating errors caused by manual input. Furthermore, since an interrupt key 26 is provided and the test can be terminated by inputting this key 26, the operation can be simplified in this respect as well.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, in the embodiment described above, the setting key memory 41. Setting key counter 42. Although the case where each data of the registration number counter 43 is cleared after the end of the test has been shown, for example, these data may be stored and held in the power supply backup memory in advance, read out at the time of test n@, and cleared in each area 4 in the RAM 4.
It is also possible to write in 1°42.43, respectively.

By doing this, if the product code to be inspected is the same every time, the setting operation of the product code and the number of registration processing times is not necessary, and the operation can be further simplified.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a case has been shown in which the minimum product code to be inspected is set and automatically updated sequentially in the direction of addition, but it is also possible to set the maximum product code to be inspected and automatically update sequentially in the direction of subtraction. It's good. Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, the test mode is selected using the control key 5, but it goes without saying that the test mode may be commanded by key operations on the keyboard 7.

It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the labor and time required to test whether or not a product registration data file is correctly searched by inputting a product code. It is possible to provide a product sales data processing device that can improve efficiency.
