Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid excessive data output by inputting a code to control the propriety for output of the business transaction data and outputting the business transaction data only when the input code satisfies the specific conditions. CONSTITUTION:A CPU 1 retrieves a single commodity file and prepares a single commodity list which satisfies the output conditions. At the same time, the CPU 1 counts the single commodities that satisfy the output conditions. Then the number of the single commodities and displayed on a display device 5. An operator checks the displayed number of single commodities and inputs '2' if this number is improper. While the operator inputs '0' in case the displayed number of single commodities is proper and can satisfy the output conditions. Furthermore '1' is inputted in case only the display is desired for the number of single commodities that satisfy the output conditions. The next process is controlled in response to an input command. In other words, an input command shows '0', a single commodity list that satisfies the output conditions is printed by a printer 6.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is an electronic cash register, P.

It relates to transaction processing devices such as S systems and automatic deposit machines.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional transaction processing devices, when reading various data such as transaction data and setting data from memory or files for aggregation or checking, the data that matches the input output conditions is printed. .

[Problems with conventional technology]

However, in conventional transaction processing devices, it is not known how much data meets the output conditions until output such as printing or display is completed. Therefore, there are problems in that it takes a long time to finish outputting data, and a large amount of output paper may be consumed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The present invention has been made by focusing on the problems of the prior art, and aims to solve the following problems. The first problem is to prevent excessive data output.

The second problem is to adjust and output data output to an appropriate output amount.

[Means to solve the problem]

The means for solving the first problem are as follows. That is, a calculation means for calculating the output amount of commercial transaction data based on the number of commercial transaction data stored in the storage means, a display means for displaying this output amount, and a display result of the display means. A code that is originally input and controls whether or not the commercial transaction data can be output is inputted, and only when the code input by this input device satisfies a specific condition, the commercial transaction data is output. It is an output means for outputting data.

The means for solving the second problem are as follows. That is, a storage means for storing commercial transaction data, an input means for inputting output condition data serving as a condition for selecting output target data from the commercial transaction data stored in the storage means, and the storage means. Output amount calculation means for calculating the output amount of data that matches the output conditions input by the input means among the commercial transaction data stored in the input means, and displaying the output amount calculated by the output amount calculation means. A display means, an output means for outputting commercial transaction data that matches the output conditions inputted by the input means, and an input by an operator. [Function] The function of the means for solving the first problem is as follows. That's right. The commercial transaction data stored in the storage means is input to the output amount calculation means.

The output amount calculating means calculates the output amount of the commercial transaction data based on the number of data of the input commercial transaction data. The output amount calculated by the output amount calculation means is displayed to the operator by the display means. Thereafter, an output permission control code for commercial transaction data based on the output amount display is input by the operator through the input means. This output permission control code and the commercial transaction data are input to an output means, and the transaction data is output only when the output permission control code satisfies a specific condition.

The operation of the means for solving the second problem is as follows. The commercial transaction data stored in the storage means and the output condition data input by the operator from the input means are input to the output amount calculation means. In the output amount calculation means,
The output amount of commercial transaction data that matches the output conditions is calculated based on the number of commercial transaction data that match the output conditions among the input commercial transaction data.

The output amount calculated by the output amount calculation means is input to the output amount display means and displayed to the operator. When the code inputted into the control means by the operator who sees this output amount display is one for selecting activation of the output means, the control means activates the output means, and the code input into the control means selects the activation of the output means. When the selection is made, the control means activates the input means. When the output means is activated, commercial transaction data that satisfies the output conditions is output. When the input means is selected, output condition data is input from the input means.

〔effect〕

According to the means for solving the first problem, since the output amount is displayed before data output, it is possible to prevent excessive data output.

According to the means for solving the second problem, the output amount is displayed before data output, and the operator can change the output conditions by looking at this display, so the output amount of data output can be adjusted appropriately. This effect can be obtained.

[Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of a transaction processing device. 1 is a CPU. 2 is connected to CPU1 and C
This is a ROM that stores the operating program of the PU1.

3 is a CPU for storing single item files etc. and for work.
is a RAM for storing data. 4 is CPUI
This is a keyboard that is connected to the computer and used by the operator to input commands. A display device 5 is connected to the CPUI and is used to display messages and the like to the operator. 6 is CP
This is a printer connected to the UI and used to print various data. 8 is a calendar clock connected to the CPUI and generating data for the current date. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the CPUI in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the data structure of a single item file on RAMa in FIG. 1.

In the transaction processing device having the system configuration shown in FIG. 1, single items whose sales amount or number of items sold are below standards are restored by searching the single item file (see FIG. 3), and the list is printed out. By looking at this list, you can identify products that are not selling well. FIG. 2 shows the processing steps up to printing out the list.

First, in step S1, guidance is displayed on the display 5 to the effect that the standard sales amount (score) to be the output condition should be input. Then, in step S2, the operator uses the keyboard 4 to input the standard sales amount (score) that is the output condition. Next, in step S3, the CPU searches the single item file shown in FIG. 3, creates a list of single items that satisfy the output conditions, and counts the number of single items that satisfy the output conditions.

Next, in step S4, the number of single items that satisfy the output conditions calculated in step S3 is displayed on the display 5.

, the operator, looks at the number of items displayed on the display 5 in step S4, and inputs "2" if the number is inappropriate. If the displayed number is appropriate and satisfies the output conditions, enter "02". If you wish to display only the number of single items that satisfy the output conditions, enter "1". In step S6, the next process is controlled according to the command input in step S5.In other words, when the command input in step S5 is "0#", the next process is set to step S7, A single item list (format is the same as in FIG. 3) that satisfies the output conditions is printed by the printer 6.

Furthermore, if the command input in step S5 is '12', the process ends. If the command input in step S5 is '2°, the next process is step S1. Then, the operator re-enters the output conditions and changes the list of single items to be output to an appropriate one.

[Embodiment 2] The electrical system used in Embodiment 2 is the same as the block diagram shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation by the CPU of FIG. 1, and uses the retention date as an output condition.

That is, the last sales date and time in the single item file shown in FIG. 3 (the date and time indicated by the calendar clock 8 in FIG. 1 when the last sale occurred) is input from the keyboard 4 in FIG.
Restores single items that are older than the retention date stored in . Such single items are products that do not sell well. The processing content of the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in output conditions.

[Embodiment 3] In Embodiment 3 as well, the same electrical system as the block diagram shown in FIG. 1 is used. In addition to displaying the number of single items corresponding to the output condition (4 degrees) in Example 1.2, the printing time and number of printed sheets of the single item list that corresponds to the output condition may be displayed. The printing time for the single item list is calculated by multiplying the number of single items stored in the RAM 3 in FIG. 1 by the printing time per item existing on the ROMz in FIG. The number of printed sheets of the single item list is determined by adding the number of single items stored in RAM3 in Figure 1 to ROMz in Figure 1.
Calculate by multiplying the number of prints per item above.
