Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an electronic cash register processing device, in particular, to a cashier that is assigned to each individual and that is used to transfer cash to another slave POS. This relates to an electronic cash registration processing device that transfers the hard totals of previous transactions made by a cashier from a master POS to a slave POS that has been moved, and that allows cashier-specific payments to be made from the slave POS that has been moved.

(Background of the invention and problems) Conventionally, in a POS using an electronic register, as shown in FIG.
-N are fixedly arranged, and customer transactions are performed without moving the drawers 53-1 to 53-N to other slave POS from the start to the end of the day's business. Then, at the end of the day's work, each drawer 53-1 to 53-
The denomination is registered for each slave POS, and a so-called cash balance report is performed for each slave POS, which compares the cash balance with the total cash balance compiled by the corresponding slave POS and calculates the discrepancy. Ta. No. 51, while the master POS manages each slave POS, the cashier who takes in and out of cash does not conduct customer transactions all day long at a certain slave POS, and the number of slave POS during business hours, etc. The cashiers are placed in an effective and appropriate manner so that they can be moved around the floor or within the store. Therefore, it is normal for each slave POS to have multiple cashiers conducting customer transactions. Under these conditions, when reporting the amount at the end of the day, if there is a discrepancy between the final delivery amount in the drawer and the total amount in stock, it is necessary to perform the operation that causes it. One drawback was that it was not immediately clear which cashier was in charge. Therefore, it takes time to check the journal paper and produce the verification results, and all the cashiers who operated with the slave POS cannot be cleared of suspicion, which is a drawback that may hinder the cashier's motivation to work. It was hot.

(Objective and Structure of the Invention) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose of the present invention is to allocate a self-dedicated drawer to each cacher so that the cashier can communicate between slave POS by having its own drawer. Even if the cache is moved, the hardware of the relevant cache is transferred to the destination slave POS.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash registration processing device that can perform settlement processing for each cashier by transferring the total sum from the master POS and registering the denomination from the slave POS side. Therefore, the electronic cash registration processing device of the present invention includes a plurality of slave devices for registering sales, and a master device for managing these slave devices. The hardware total of the slave device is added for each corresponding item, and the totaled data of the new cache is stored in the secondary storage memory of the aggregated data where the addition results are stored, and the aggregated data of the new cache is stored in the aggregated data 2. The slave device is equipped with a sending means for reading data from the next storage memory and sending it to the slave device, and a receiving means for receiving and storing new cache data sent from the master device. A hard total calculation means for each cashier is provided, which calculates the total, adds it to the hard total total memory for each cashier, and stores the result, and a means for specifying a cash payment by cashier to enable the cashier to perform the calculation by cashier, Calculate the excess or deficiency of the work in charge for the cashier based on the reported balance when registering the denomination using the cashier-specific settlement specification method and the aggregated data stored in the cashier-specific hard total tally memory. This is configured so that when a cashier who has registered sales with multiple slave devices registers the denomination from the slave device, the slave device can perform aggregation for each cashier and settle each cashier for discrepancies. I did it like that.

It is characterized by In the case of the present invention, when a cache is replaced, new cache data related to the new cache is transferred to the slave device, so that the slave device can perform settlement for each cashier. This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Master POS1 has a denomination registration function and
It manages multiple slave POSs, which will be explained later, and receives the hard totals sent each time the cashier moves the slave POS, and calculates the cumulative hard totals for each cacher. Sends the accumulated hard total to the slave POS that has arrived. When each cashier completes its own business and registers the denomination from the master POS 1, surplus and deficiency calculations are performed based on the total amount and reported amount for which the denomination was registered, that is, the final delivery amount, for that cashier. Performs settlement and aggregation processing for the cashier. Then, a report is output in a predetermined format, for example, the format of the cashier-specific settlement report shown in FIG.

The slave POS 14 is under the control of the master POS 1, and sends and receives communication messages to and from the master POS 1, and a cashier that moves with a drawer assigned exclusively to it carries out customer transactions using its own drawer. be. the slave
The POS 14 has a function of transferring the hard total data of the old cache that was in charge of the slave POS 14 to the master POS 1 every time the cache is replaced, and receives the accumulated hard total of the new cache sent from the master POS 1. It has a function of adding the accumulated hard total of the slave POS 14 and the hard total of the old cashier, and storing the data of the addition result, and a denomination registration function.

An example of operation of a slave POS equipped with such functions will be explained using FIG. 2.

In FIG. 2, for example #1 among multiple cash registers.
Cash register 28-1, #2 cash register 28-2, #3 cash register 28
-3 describes the cashier in charge of each slave POS. Here, cash register is slave POS
The location where is set. Before the store opens, each slave POS installed at each cash register does not have a drawer set, for example, and cashiers A, B, C, and D each have their own drawer and are in charge of the cashiers assigned to them before the store opens. Go to the cash register and set your own drawer on the slave POS.
For example, regarding full-time cashier A, before the store opens, cashier A goes to the #1 cash register 28-1 with his own drawer and sets his own drawer in the slave POS of the #1 cash register 28-1. At time T ₀ , the slave POS opens and begins transactions with customers. At time _T1 , in order to change the position of the cashier in charge, a cashier change operation is performed and the cashier is replaced with cashier B. When the above cashier replacement operation is performed, the slave of #1 cash register 28-1
A hardware total transfer message for cache A is sent from POS to master POS1. Cashier A pulls out his own drawer from the slave POS of #1 cash register 28-1. And #2 cash register 28-2
Go have your own drawer and slave there
Set the drawer on the POS. After cache A performs a cache replacement operation, it starts checkout. At the time of replacement, the hard total of cashier A is transferred from master POS 1 to slave POS of #2 register 28-2. time
When T ₃ is reached, after performing the cache replacement operation,
Replaces with cashier D. When this cashier replacement operation is performed, a hard total transfer message is also transmitted from the slave POS of #2 cash register 28-2 to master POS 1. Cashier A pulls out his own drawer from the slave POS of #2 cash register 28-2, holds his own drawer, and transfers it to #3 cash register 28-3.
Move to. Then, set your own drawer on the slave POS, perform the cache swap operation, and start checkout. Slave POS from POS1 to #3 cash register 28-3
Hard totals for cache A are being transferred to cache A. At time T ₄ , the day's assigned duties are completed, and the cashier replacement operation is performed. At this time as well, a hard total transfer message for cache A is sent from slave POS of #3 register 28-3 to master POS 1. Cashier A registers the payment denomination at the slave POS of the #3 cash register 28-3, or
Pull out your own cash register from the POS, move it to master POS1 with your own drawer to make payment,
It is possible to perform both the operation of registering the payment denomination from the master POS1.

For example, when you perform the denomination registration operation from master POS 1, a cashier-specific settlement report as shown in Figure 6 is output, so you can know whether there was a miscalculation for the work you performed. . Also, the slave of #3 register 28-3
Even if the denomination is registered at POS, the same result as when registering the denomination from master POS1 can be obtained. This will be explained in detail later.

In addition, #1 cash register 28-1 to #2 cash register 28-2
When cashier A moves to #1 cash register 28,
-1 before the aggregate data corresponding to cache A in #1 is stored in the memory of the master POS.
A situation where the operator replacement operation is performed from the cash register 28-1 may occur if cashier B who came to the #1 cash register 28-1 neglects to perform the operator replacement operation. However, a cache ID exists in the drawer for each cache, and a management table for each cache exists in the master POS.
For example, for cashier #1, corresponding to cashier A, the cashier-specific management table includes columns such as "Attendance, Registering, Final Settlement". and,
It has a means to update the cache-specific management table using messages from each slave POS. From this, even if the new cashier B neglects the replacement operation and performs the operation from the #1 cash register, the master
POS detects a discrepancy.

Regarding dedicated cashier B, before opening the store, cashier B carries his own drawer and goes to the #2 cash register 28-2, and sets his own drawer in the slave POS of the #2 cash register 28-2. At time T ₀ , the slave POS opens and begins transactions with customers. At time _T1 , the cache is replaced with cache A after performing a cache replacement operation. When the above cashier replacement operation is performed, #2 cash register 28-2
A hard total transfer message for cache B is sent from slave POS to master POS1.
Cashier B puts his drawer in #5 cash register 28-2.
Pull it out from the slave POS and move it to the replacement #1 cash register 28-1 with your own drawer. Then, a drawer is set in the slave POS of the #1 cash register 28-1, a cashier change operation is performed, and checkout is started. During the shift, the slave of #1 register 28-1 from master POS1
Cashier B's hard total is being transferred to the POS. At time _T2 , the cache is replaced and replaced with cache C. When performing this cashier replacement operation, the #1 cash register 28
A hardware total transfer message is sent from slave POS 1 of -1 to master POS 1. Cashier B pulls out its own drawer from the slave POS of #1 cash register 28-1. Cashier B, who has finished his assigned work, holds his own drawer and uses it as a master.
Move to POS 1, perform denomination operations, and output a cashier-specific settlement report for the work you were responsible for. And leave the company. In this case, cache B
can register the denomination of payment at the slave POS of the #1 cash register 28-1, which is the last cash register in charge. Note that the cash register change is performed in exactly the same manner for the other cashiers C and D.

The cashier who has completed his or her assigned duties for the day registers the denomination from the slave POS at the last cash register in charge, or goes to master POS1.
Register the denomination, that is, settle the final delivery amount in your drawer. This denomination registration is required for master POS
1, the operation sequence shown in FIG. 3 is used, for example. In FIG. 3, the cashier inputs the transaction type 29 and the unique cashier number 30 assigned to him/her.
Next, the denomination type 31 existing in the user's drawer is registered. Denominations are broadly classified into cash, gift certificates such as book coupons issued in fixed amounts, checks with insufficient amounts, and credit cards. In the case of cash, enter the preset number of the voucher type and its quantity using the numeric keys, register the voucher type and quantity, and
The amount 32 corresponding to each type of coupon is calculated and registered. For gift certificates issued in fixed amounts, enter the preset number and number of gift certificates using the numeric keys, register the name of the gift certificate and its quantity, and register the gift certificate. Calculate and register the amount 33. For checks, credits, etc. of undetermined amount, enter the preset check/credit number, number, and amount using the numeric keys, register the name of the check, credit, etc. and the number, and calculate the total. Calculate and register the amount 34. The subtotal or grand total is calculated and registered by using the subtotal 35 key for each total of cash, gift certificates, checks, etc., and by using the total 36 key for the total total.

Figure 6 shows an example of denomination registration.
An example of a cashier-specific settlement report output by POS is shown. In the figure, No. 02 in the upper column represents the person whose cashier number is 2, numbers 1 to 9 on the left end are the denomination registration for cash, and number 10 represents the person with the cashier number 2.
indicates that there are 8 checks and the total amount is 89,000 yen. The subtotal of cash and checks is 808,300 yen, which means that the person with cashier number 02 had this amount of cash and checks in his or her drawer. Leftmost number 11 to 25
indicates sales in gift certificates or credits, and the subtotal is 211,700 yen. When a total of 36 keys are pressed as explained in FIG. 3, the final delivery amount of 1,020,000 yen is calculated and registered. This final delivery amount is the amount held in the drawer by the person with cashier number 02. For example, if the person with cashier number 02 is cashier A shown in Figure 2,
#1 cash register 28-1, #2 cash register 28-2 and #3
This is the amount remaining in the drawer of the person who made the customer transaction at cash register 28-3.

Next, the method of data aggregation processing of the electronic cash registration processing device of the present invention will be explained using FIGS. 4 and 5.

In the slave POS 14, transactions with customers are carried out via the transaction input means 24, and the sales amount, which is called hard total by cashier, is always
Each item such as transaction amount, deposit amount, withdrawal amount, number of customers, time (working hours), etc. is accumulated via the cashier-specific hard total calculation means 20, and is stored for one person in the cashier-specific hardware total tally memory 21. It is designed to be stored in area 21-1. Here, the deposited amount is the amount prepared for change etc. and deposited into the drawer, and the withdrawn amount is the amount collected from the drawer during the course of business.

When the cashier replacement time comes, the cashier is replaced, and the cashier replacement input means 22 performs the cashier replacement operation. As a result of this cache replacement operation, the hard total of the cache stored in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 21 by cache and other storage areas of the hard total total memory 21 by cache The accumulated hard totals stored in 21-2 before the relevant cache are
The CPU 15 adds up the data corresponding to each item, and the newly added cumulative data is stored in another storage area 21-2 of the cache-specific hardware total tally memory 21.

Further, when a cache change operation is performed, the hard total stored in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 21 for each cache is changed into a format and code suitable for transmission by the total data message editing means 19. Furthermore, the assigned number of the slave POS 14 and the old and new cache numbers of the replaced cache are assigned and transmitted to the master POS 1 via the transmitting means 16.
Master the hard total of this old cache.
When the transmission to the POS 1 is completed, the hard total clearing means 26 for each cache operates, clearing the storage area 21-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 21 for each cache to zero, and preparing to accept the new cache.

On the other hand, by changing the cache, the slave POS
The message sent from 14 is master POS1
The data is received by the receiving means 4 and converted into data in a computable format by the received message reverse editing/storage means 9, and then each piece of hardware total data is stored once in the total data primary storage memory 5. . Since the hard total data has the cache number of the hard total, that is, the assigned number of the old cache, sent to the master POS 1 at the same time, the CPU 2 stores the total data in the secondary storage memory 11.
From then on, the data for each item of the hard total that has been accumulated up to that point for the old cache is continued. Then, the hard total data stored in the aggregated data primary storage memory 5 is
The CPU 2 continues to add and aggregate both data for each corresponding item. This aggregated data is stored at a predetermined address in the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 via the aggregated data saving means 10. Then, the total data primary storage memory clearing means/inspection request message editing means 6 clears the contents of the total data primary storage memory 5 to zero. Since the number of the new cache is written in the message sent from the slave POS 14 to the master POS 1 where the cache has been replaced, the master POS 1 sends the data to the new cache total data read/storage means 13 based on the number of the new cache. Therefore, the cumulatively aggregated hardware total data of the new cache is read from the aggregated data secondary storage memory 11 to the CPU 2, and is temporarily stored in the aggregated data primary storage memory 5.
Transfer to. The cumulatively aggregated hardware total data of the new cache stored in the aggregated data primary storage memory 5 is converted into a predetermined format and code by the aggregated data primary storage memory clearing means/inspection request message editing means 6. After being edited into a message format, the message is sent from the sending means 3 to the slave POS 14 where the cache change operation has been performed. The slave POS that you want to receive in this transmission message
14 is written therein, and the slave POS 14 that has undergone the cache replacement described above will receive the transmission message sent from the master POS 1. When this transmission message is sent, the total data primary storage memory clearing means/inspection request message editing means 6 operates to clear the contents of the total data primary storage clear 5 to zero.

The slave POS 14 receives the transmission message sent from the master POS 1 by the receiving means 17, and the received message decoding means 18 converts the accumulated hard total of the transmission message into data in a computable format. The data is stored via the data receiving/storing means 27 in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the cashier-specific hardware total tally memory 21.

Slave whose cache was replaced in this way
The accumulated hard total of the new cache at the present time is input to the POS 14. When the new cashier performs a customer transaction operation on the slave POS 14, the transaction input means 24 registers and tallies the transaction in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the cashier-specific hardware total tally memory 21. Further, the time measuring means 25 is activated by the cashier replacement operation, and measurement of the working hours of the new cashier is newly started.

The cache is replaced in each slave POS14,
The process described above is repeated every time a cache replacement operation is performed. Therefore, the slave POS 14 always stores the accumulated hard total data of the cashier in charge of the slave POS 14.

A cashier, for example, cashier A, which has finished its work for the day, performs a cashier replacement operation at time _T4 , and then performs cash-by-cashier settlement. In this cashier-specific settlement, the denomination can be registered from the slave POS 14 without going to the master POS 1 and registering the denomination 37, etc., and the difference can be calculated. That is, as explained above, the slave POS of the last #3 cash register 28-3 handled by cashier A stores the accumulated hard total for the day. Therefore, slave POS of #3 cash register 28-3
If you register the denomination for settlement from , you will receive data on the final delivery amount and the sales amount of the hard total that has already been accumulated in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 21 for each cashier. From the deposit amount and withdrawal amount data, the cash register total = sales + deposit amount - withdrawal amount is calculated via the hard total calculation means 20 for each cashier, and the excess/deficiency amount = final delivery amount - cash register total. Calculated. The data of the cash register total, excess/deficiency amount, and final delivery amount are stored in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the cashier-specific hard total totaling memory 21. The data on the cash register total, surplus/deficiency amount, and final delivery amount is converted into an edited format by the aggregated data telegram editing means 19, and is then assigned a number etc. for the cashier A and sent to the master via the transmitting means 16. The data is sent to the POS 1 and stored at a predetermined address in the secondary storage memory 11 for total data. Also, the total of these cash registers,
The data on the excess/deficit amount and the final delivery amount are successively retrieved together with the hard total data for each cashier stored in the storage area 21-1 for one person in the hard total total memory 21 for each cashier, as shown in FIG. Each item from the final delivery amount to the time in the bottom column of the cashier-specific settlement sheet shown in the figure, as well as its quantity, number of items, and each amount are output. This allows Cashier A to perform cashier-specific payments on the slave POS.
You can immediately know the amount of excess or deficiency in your own work.

Note that cashier A can also perform denomination registration from master POS1. The operation in that case is as follows. That is, after cashier A performs the cashier replacement operation at time _T4 , he goes to the installation location of POS 1 to perform cashier-specific settlement, and from there performs the denomination registration explained in FIG. 3. When the denomination is registered and the total 36 key is pressed, the denomination registration total calculation and surplus/deficiency calculation means 12 calculate the final delivery amount data and the cash A that has already been cumulatively totaled in the total data secondary storage memory 11. #1 cash register 28-1, #2 cash register 28-2 and #3 cash register 28-
Of the hard totals in step 3, the data on sales, deposits, and withdrawals are read out to CPU2,
The cash register total = sales + deposit amount - withdrawal amount is calculated, and the excess/deficit amount = final delivery amount - cash register total is calculated. These data on the register total, surplus/deficiency amount, and final delivery amount are stored at a predetermined address of the total data secondary storage memory 11 via the total data saving means 10. The above-mentioned cash register total, excess/deficiency amount, final delivery amount data and aggregated data secondary storage memory 11
The accumulated hard total data for each item stored in the storage system is read out, and the total data printing/editing/outputting means 7 outputs the data in the bottom column of the cashier-by-cash settlement sheet shown in Figure 6. Each item from the cash register total to the time, its quantity, number of items, and each amount are output. This allows Cashier A to immediately know the amount of excess or deficiency in the work he is responsible for.
Note that the column up to the final delivery amount in the cashier-by-cash settlement sheet shown in FIG. 6 is output at the same time as the denomination is registered.

Similarly, when other cashiers complete their own duties, they can use their slave POS 14 to settle accounts for each cashier, and immediately know of any discrepancies. It goes without saying that payments can also be made by cashier from master POS1.

Calculation by cashier is performed in this way, but when the calculation by cashier is completed for all cashiers, the contents of the hardware total tally data 21 by cashier provided in each slave POS 14 are cleared to zero, and each cash register is Closed. If there is a cashier for which cashier-by-cashier settlement has not been completed, the cashier-by-cashier hardware total tally memory 21 will not be cleared.
This is because each cashier has a flag indicating whether the cash register payment has been completed or not, and the hard total total memory 21 for each cashier is cleared only when all the flags are set.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, the difference for each cashier can be calculated without having to keep a daily tally, making cash management easier and eliminating unnecessary anxiety from cashiers. . And since cashier-specific payments can be made from the slave POS, the master
When payment by cashier from POS is busy, payment processing can be done quickly.
