BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a POS system used for selling products in person.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a control block diagram of a conventional POS system. In the figure, (1) is an input means which uses various keys as an input medium and converts an input signal of each key into a signal which can be handled by the control means (2). (3) is an output means,
The receipt output printer (4) and the display (5) are used as an output medium, and the output data sent from the control means (2) is converted into an output signal. (6) is a storage means, which is a storage medium including a non-volatile memory, a floppy disk, a fixed disk, and the like, and master information of the product name and unit price corresponding to the product code, and the sales sent from the control means (2). Store detailed data. The control means (2) is mainly composed of a microprocessor, and includes a PO including the above means.
Controls the entire S system.

FIG. 5 is a rear perspective view of a POS terminal equipped with the above-mentioned POS system, and the display (5) can display one line.

In such a POS system, in the case of an industry in which a customer verbally orders a product and a clerk sells the product (face-to-face sales), such as a fast food restaurant, the customer's order is received. The clerk said, "Is 1 item 1 item, 2 items item 2 ... is that all right?"
Respond while performing input operations on the OS terminal.

At this time, the display (5) is shown in FIG.
As described above, the quantity 1 and the amount 100 (yen) of the product 1 are displayed, and instead of this display, the quantity 2 and the amount 2000 (yen) of the product 2 are sequentially displayed as shown in FIG.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a control block diagram of a POS system showing an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, (7) is an input means, which uses various keys such as a receipt issuing key (8) as an input medium, and converts an input signal of each key into a signal which can be handled by the control means (9). (10) is an output means, which uses a receipt output printer (11) as a receipt issuing means and a display (12) as a display means as an output medium, and outputs the output data sent from the control means (9) as an output signal. Convert.

As shown in FIG. 2, which is a rear perspective view of a POS terminal equipped with the present POS system, the display 12 is arranged toward the customer on the back of the POS terminal and has a plurality of rows. It is possible to display.

Reference numeral (13) is a storage means, which is a storage medium composed of a non-volatile memory, a floppy disk, a fixed disk, etc., and is sent from the control means (9) with the master information of the product name and unit price corresponding to the product code. Store incoming sales detail data. The control means (9) is mainly composed of a microprocessor and controls the entire POS system including the above means.

In the POS system configured as described above, at the time of face-to-face sales at a fast food restaurant or the like, first, the salesclerk inputs the code and quantity of the product ordered by the customer by operating the sales key. . The input data is taken into the control means (9) via the input means (7), and the control means (9) searches the storage means (13) based on the product code to obtain the product name and unit price. Withdrawal, the price of the product is obtained from this unit price and the input quantity, and the consumption tax up to that point and the total price are calculated. The calculated consumption tax and the total amount of money are displayed on the display unit (12) via the output unit (10) together with the product name, unit price, quantity and amount of money, and stored in the storage unit (13).
The above operation is continuously performed on the products ordered by the customer.

FIG. 3 shows that a salesclerk who receives an order from a customer

No receipt will be issued. This prevents wasteful issuance of receipts.

In the above embodiment, when the number of items ordered is too large to display all the ordered contents on the display unit (12) at a time, the oldest data ordered first is deleted, After that, the display is advanced one line at a time.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, the name, unit price, order quantity and price of the ordered product of the customer are sequentially displayed on the same display screen for each ordered product on the display means arranged for the customer.
