Abstract

PURPOSE:To make working range not to be fixed on producing operation by receiving plural bar code data from plural hand scanners to read a bar code and to transmit the bar code data and processing. CONSTITUTION:Hand scanners 2a to 2c read bar codes 8a to 8c of goods 5a to 5c and transmit bar code data. POS terminal equipment 1 consists of a receiver 12 of plural channels to receive the bar code data transmitted by a radio transmitting part 82 of the respective scanners 2a to 2c and a control part 11 to process the bar code data received by the receiver 12 for every the respective hand scanners 2a to 2c, receives and processes the plural pieces of bar code data from the plural hand scanners 2a to 2c. Thus, a connecting code between the POS terminal equipment and the hand scanner can be removed and working range can be enlarged.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a POS terminal device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of POS terminal device has been connected to a hand scanner, which is a barcode reader, by a cord.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional POS terminal device described above, since one hand scanner is connected by a cord, the work range is fixed during production work, and there are problems in that it can only handle one person.

An object of the present invention is to provide a POS terminal device that can expand the scope of work by eliminating the connection cord between the POS terminal device and the hand scanner, and can handle a plurality of people by combining with a plurality of hand scanners. There is a particular thing.

[Means to solve the problem]

A POS terminal device of the present invention includes a plurality of hand scanners that read barcodes and transmit barcode data;
and a POS terminal device that receives and processes a plurality of barcode data from the plurality of hand scanners.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, hand scanners 2a to 2a read barcodes 88 to 8c of products 5a to 5C and transmit barcode data.
2C and P that receives and processes multiple barcode data.
It consists of an OS terminal device 1. The hand scanners 2a to 2c are composed of a reading section 81 that reads barcodes 8a to 8c, and a wireless transmitting section 82 that transmits the barcode data of the barcode 8 read by the reading section 81. The POS terminal device 1 includes a multi-channel receiver 12 that receives the barcode data transmitted by the wireless transmitter 82 of each of the hand scanners 2a to 2c, and a multi-channel receiver 12 that receives the barcode data received by the receiver 12 and transmits the barcode data to each of the hand scanners 2a to 2c. It is composed of a control section 11 that processes each time.

When the barcode 8a of the product 5a is read by the reading unit 81 of the hand scanner 2a, the wireless transmitter 82 transmits it as barcode data. POS terminal device 1 receives barcode data with receiver 12 . The control unit 11 is
It is recognized that the barcode was read by the hand scanner 2a. Thereafter, the barcode data read by the hand scanner 2a is processed all at once until the processing is completed.

Note that the barcode data of the other hand scanners 2b and 2c is similarly processed for each hand scanner.

Further, by changing the control of the control unit 11 of the PoS terminal device 1, it is possible to process data from all hand scanners as if they were all read at once by one hand scanner.

Further, in this embodiment, there are three hand scanners, but the number can be increased by using different radio frequencies and adjusting the performance of the control section 11 and receiver 12 accordingly.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a POS terminal device and a hand scanner with a wireless function, and a POS terminal device with a control unit for the hand scanner.
This has the effect of expanding the work range by eliminating the connection cord between the POS terminal device and the hand scanner.

In addition, when combined with multiple hand scanners, it has the advantage of being able to handle multiple people.
