 The present invention relates to a credit transaction processing device that conducts transactions using a credit card.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 FIG. 9 shows a terminal device 101 of a conventional credit transaction processing device.

A credit card is inserted into the card reading unit 102, the data stored in the card is read, the contents input by the data input unit 103 are communicated with the external central processing unit, and the result is read as the slip 106. Print on and output. A slip 106 printed in a certain format is used regardless of the card company, etc., and the amount of money etc. is printed by the printer on the format.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, as described above, the slips are printed in a predetermined format in advance, and since numbers and messages are printed on them, it is troublesome to classify the sales slips after transactions at member stores by card companies. There is a drawback. In addition, when a member store conducts one-day counting operations, it is necessary to prepare separate counting slips.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and by changing the slip format, for example, the slip format can be changed for each card company to facilitate classification and also in the case of aggregating work. The purpose is to provide a credit transaction processing device that does not require changing the slip paper.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, the credit transaction processing device of the present invention comprises a printing means for printing various transaction data related to transactions on a slip, a storage means for storing a plurality of kinds of slip formats, and a plurality of the stored slips. And a control means for selecting a desired slip format from the formats and printing the selected slip format on the slip by the printing means.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the credit transaction processing device of the present invention having the above structure, the control means selects a desired slip format from a plurality of slip formats stored in the storage means, and the selected slip format is printed by the printing means. Prints on the slip together with various transaction data related to transactions.

[0008]

【Example】

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

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the credit transaction processing apparatus 11 of the present embodiment mainly includes a card reader unit 12 for reading data stored in a credit card and the like, and a keyboard for inputting various data. 18, a modem 40, an automatic dialing device 41, a printer 21 for printing on slips, a control unit 31 as a control means for controlling the entire device, various data including a plurality of slip formats, and the like. The modem 40 and the automatic dial device 41 are connected to an external central processing unit 42 via a telephone line T.

A card insertion portion 16 for inserting a credit card is provided in front of the apparatus (on the right side in FIG. 3), and the card inserted from here is the feed rollers 14a, 14b, 14c and the pressing rollers 15a, 15b, 15c. Is configured to be conveyed to the rear of the apparatus along the card conveying path 17, and a reading head 13 for reading the data stored in the credit card is provided between the feed rollers 14b and 14c. .. The card reader unit 12 is configured with the above configuration.

The printer 21 includes a platen 25, a paper pressing roller 26, a carriage 23 that linearly moves in parallel with the platen 25, a dot print head 22 mounted on the carriage 23, and a ribbon cassette 24.

At the rear end of the apparatus, a paper cassette 28 that is attachable to and detachable from the main body apparatus is provided, and inside thereof, a pin tractor 29 and a blank slip 30 are provided.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing.

When a credit card is inserted into the card insertion portion 16, a sensor (not shown) reads it, the feeding rollers 14a to 14c and the pressing rollers 15a to 15c send the card to the left, and the reading head 13 causes the credit card to read. The data stored in the card is read (step S1, hereinafter simply referred to as S1, and the same applies to other steps). The control unit 31 determines the card company name from the data of the credit card read by the control unit 31 (S2), and then selects the slip format for the card company from the storage unit 80 (S3).

Next, by inputting (S4, S5, S6) from the keyboard 18 the product classification, the price of the product, the tax, etc. from the keyboard 18 (S4, S5, S6), and pressing the execute key (S7), The modem 40 and the automatic dial device 41 are connected to the external central processing unit 42 to start communication, and at the same time, the slip format for the selected card company and the card number, date, etc. are printed (preprint, S8 ).

To explain this printing operation, the slip 30 in the paper cassette 28 is sent to the printer 21 by the pin tractor 29, the platen 25, and the paper pressing roller 26, and in the printer 21, the carriage that moves linearly in parallel with the platen 25. The dot print head 22 mounted on the printer 23 prints on the slip 30 fed so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the platen 25 from above the ribbon drawn from the ribbon cassette 24.

Then, the information of the card and the member is returned from the external central processing unit 42 to the credit transaction processing unit 11 (S 9), and the processing result including this communication data and the data inputted from the keyboards 18 and 19 is the printer. Then, the operation is completed by cutting the slip 30 printed out and sent to the printer 21 (S10) and printed out.

An example of the print format of the slip 30 is shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the format may be selected for each company according to the request of the card company, and by the format as shown in FIG. 7, only the card company name and address at the beginning of the slip are changed for each card company. May be.

As described above in detail, if the voucher format is changed for each card company, it becomes very easy to classify the vouchers for each card company at the time of aggregation by the member store. It is also possible to show the characteristics of each card company. Further, it is not necessary to print the slip format as in the past, so that the cost of the slip can be reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, FIG. 8 shows an example of a voucher format used when a member store conducts a counting operation. By using such a voucher format, it is possible to continue the business without changing the voucher, even when trying to perform the aggregation work in addition to the transaction business. It is also possible for a member store to select a voucher format for each product.

[0021]

[Effect of the device]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the credit transaction processing device of the present invention, the slip format can be changed for each card company to facilitate the classification, and the slip paper need not be changed even in the case of totaling work. It is possible to improve.
