Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a product sales data processing device such as an electronic cash register or a POS (point of sales) terminal. More specifically, the present invention relates to a product sales data processing device that stores sales data in a storage medium to be delivered to customers.

U Conventional Technique #r] Conventionally, in product sales data processing devices such as electronic cash registers and POS terminals, each time a product is registered, a printer prints data related to the product, such as product name and price data, into a receipt and journal. print,
While receipts are given to customers as sales data, a journal is kept as store records.

Recently, in response to demands for lower prices, smaller size, and faster processing speeds, an optical data processing device has been developed that stores data to be kept as store records in the built-in journal memory of the main unit. 6 However, the only way to provide sales data to a customer is to print it on a receipt using a printer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] With the above-mentioned product sales data processing device, the data to be kept as store records does not need to be printed by the printer, so noise can be reduced and the life of the printer can be increased accordingly. There is an advantage that it can be done. However, since the sales data to be delivered to the customer must be printed using a printer, it is not sufficient in terms of noise and printer life.

On the other hand, in recent years, an increasing number of households are using personal computers to manage their household accounts.

In such households, it is necessary to enter information such as the price of the product on the keyboard while looking at the receipt given at the store, so it is better to have the sales data stored on a memory card or the like that they own or do post-processing. is efficient.

For this reason, it is conceivable that the sales data to be given to the customer may be stored in a memory card instead of being printed on a sheet and issued. However, not all customers have memory cards, so for customers who do not have memory cards, sales data must be printed on a receipt and issued as before.

Then, depending on whether the user has a memory card or not, it is necessary to switch between outputting detailed data to a printer or to a memory card.

This switching can be done by installing a switch, but if you change the switch to the card output side and register without a memory card installed, there will be a problem that the sales data will not be output. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to reduce noise and extend the lifespan of a printer, and even when a user forgets to attach a storage medium for storing sales data. An object of the present invention is to provide a product sales data processing device that can reliably output sales data.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, in a product sales data processing device that is equipped with a printer that prints and issues content related to an input product code on a receipt, an input means for inputting the product code and an input device for inputting the product code are provided. , a writing means for writing data to a storage medium detachably attached to the main body, a detecting means for detecting whether or not the storage medium is attached to the main body, and a detecting means according to the detection result of the detecting means. When the storage medium is not attached to the main body, the printer prints the product code input from the input means on the receipt, while when the storage medium is attached to the main body, the product code is printed from the input means when the storage medium is attached to the main body. The present invention is characterized by comprising a sales data output switching means for causing the writing means to store contents regarding the input product code in the storage medium.

[Effect] Memo+! When the medium is not attached to the main body, the content related to the product code input from the input means is printed on the receipt by the printer. On the other hand, Ki+! When the medium is attached to the main body, the content related to the product code inputted from the input means is stored in the storage medium by the writing means.

Therefore, if the storage medium is attached to the main body, it will not be printed by the printer, so it is possible to reduce noise and extend the life of the printer. Furthermore, even if you forget to attach the storage medium, the sales data is printed on the receipt and issued, so it is possible to prevent the sales data from not being outputted.

The writer control circuit #120 includes a card writer 28 as a writing means for storing sales data etc. in the memory card 8.
A card insertion detector 29 serving as a detection means for detecting that a memory card 8 has been inserted into the main body 1 is also connected.

The RAM 14 stores the product code, product name, and
In addition to a single item data table memory that stores unit prices and the like, there is also a work area 31 that stores sales data for each customer as shown in FIG. Work area 3
1 includes a date area 31A for storing the date, a register number area 31B for storing the register number, a receipt issue number area 3IC for storing the receipt issue number updated for each customer, and data regarding input individual products. In addition to the detailed data area 3ID for storage, areas 31B for storing the total amount and the like are provided.

The CPU 1 executes the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 according to the program stored in the ROM 13. Here, by CPU II and ROM13,
Based on the detection result of the card insertion detector 29, when the memory card 8 is not attached to the main body 1, the printer 6 prints content related to the product code input from the key fob 2 on the receipt; When the memory card 8 is attached to the main body 1, sales data output switching means is configured to cause the card writer 28 to store contents related to the product code input from the keyboard 2 in the memory card 8.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

When registering products, the operator inputs the product codes of the products in order while operating the keyboard 2, and finally presses the deposit/total key after registering all the products.

The CPU II follows the flowchart shown in FIG.
Proceed with the process. Step (hereinafter abbreviated as ST)
After registering the product code input from the keyboard 2 in step 1, the process advances to step ST2, where it is checked whether the sales data output changeover switch 4 has been switched to the card side.

If it is not the sales data output selector switch 4 or the card side,
That is, if it is the printer side, the process proceeds to ST3 and the registered data is printed on the receipt by the printer 6. Also,
Sales data output selector switch 4 or card side, S
Proceeding to T4, it is checked whether the memory card 8 is inserted.

Here, if the memory card 8 is not inserted, Sr1
