Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a POS terminal device, and more particularly, to a POS terminal device that enables transaction division relating to improvement of customer service at restaurants and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in the accounting method using a POS system in a restaurant or the like, when a plurality of customers are accompanied, sales registration is performed as one transaction. When the customer requests the accounting to be divided for each individual, for example, JP-A-63-2
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 41657 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-81297, there is a method of dividing a transaction for each individual in a unit unit price of a menu. Further, in the case of cash payment which does not require a slip, it is general that after the sales registration processing is processed as one transaction, the operator manually calculates the division by using a calculator or the like.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has a problem that it is not possible to divide a transaction by an arbitrary amount of money regardless of the unit price of the menu. Furthermore, when the payment method is credit etc., there is only one transaction,
There was also a problem that it was not possible to divide and make an individual decision. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a POS terminal device that enables transaction division at an arbitrary amount for one transaction and is compatible with various payment methods.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a POS terminal device comprising a keyboard, a printer, a display and a processing device, wherein the keyboard comprises a transaction split designation key, and the processing device comprises: When the transaction division designation information and the division number information are input together with the sales information from the keyboard, the sales information is registered, the divided transaction billing amount is obtained based on the division number information and the sales amount, and the sales information and the division transaction There is provided means for generating divided transaction information consisting of the billed amount and outputting slip information based on the generated divided transaction information.

[0005]

With the above-mentioned means, the sales information registration process is 1
The sales information is copied for each sub-transaction code, and the divided billing amount is calculated for each sub-transaction code. After that, the slip issuance procedure is performed for each sub-transaction code. As a result, it becomes possible to divide the transaction by an arbitrary amount of money regardless of the menu unit price.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an appearance of an embodiment of a POS terminal device of the present invention. A slip output printer 10 and a data input P are shown.
An OS keyboard 11, a CRT display 12 for displaying various information, and a display 13 for customers are provided. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an embodiment of the POS terminal device of the present invention. The CPU 20 inputs data input from the POS keyboard 29 via the input control unit 28, executes processing based on the data, and outputs the processing result to the CRT display 26 via the display control unit 25.
Is displayed on the customer display 27, and the processing result is printed out to the printer 24 via the printer controller 23.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the transaction division processing of the present invention executed by the CPU 20. Next, the processing of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, P
The sales information is input by the menu key or the ten key of the OS keyboard (step 30). The total amount is calculated by the accounting process, and the sales information is stored and registered in this process (step 31). Next, it is judged whether or not the transaction division and the number of divisions are designated by the POS keyboard (step 32). When a transaction division is designated, it is confirmed that the specified number of divisions is within the range of the number of customers (step 33), a sub-transaction code is assigned to each divided transaction (step 34), and the division transaction is performed. The sales information is copied for each (step 35). As a result, the sales information before the division is held for each divided transaction. Next, the total amount of money is divided into payment amounts according to the specified number of divisions, and the billed amount of divided transactions is stored, which is stored for each divided transaction (step 3
6). For payment method, select from cash / cash voucher / credit / cash on hand or combine and enter from the POS keyboard,
It is stored for each divided transaction (step 37). Next, a slip is output for each divided transaction (step 38). All the sales information is printed on the slips that are output individually, and the billing amount for the divided transaction is printed. If all the similar processes have been performed for the required number of divisions (step 39), all the series of processes are terminated. Although the batch sales information is registered, the divided transaction information may also be registered.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to divide a transaction by an arbitrary amount of money regardless of the menu unit price, and it is possible to improve customer service.
