Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the opening/closing time of a drawer clear and prevent an illegal act by detecting the drawer being opened by using a key, and printing that and its time on a journal. SOLUTION: A drawer automatic opening signal generation and storage control means (CPU 11 and ROM 12) is provided. When an automatic opening device 29 is actuated with a drawer automatic opening signal So, generated by a control part (CPU 11 and ROM 12) when the end of one transaction is declared, data showing 'the generation of the drawer automatic opening signal So' is stored in a RAM 13. Then the CPU 11 which forms a drawer opening detecting means performs retrieval from the RAM 13 once receiving the drawer opening detection signal and discriminates that the drawer is opened by using a key, unless the data showing 'the generation of the drawer automatic opening signal So' is stored. The opening of the drawer using the key is detected, a key opening print control means (ROM 12 and CPU 11) prints that and the time read in from timer circuit 14 on a journal.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a drawer which can be automatically opened and manually closed on condition that a drawer automatic opening signal is generated, and the drawer can be opened with a key and manually closed. The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing device formed as possible.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a commodity sales registration data processing device including an electronic cash register is provided with a drawer for giving and receiving money associated with accounting processing for commodity sales registration.

The drawer has a structure in which a cash box is attached to a cabinet so that the cash box can be opened and closed. The closed cash box can be retained in a closed state by being locked to the cabinet by a hook or the like. Further, the cash drawer can be automatically opened by operating the drawer opening mechanism to unlock the hooks and the like and pressing and urging it with the opening spring.

In actual operation, the sales data registered in the product (for example, “Mix Pizza”, “¥ 430”) is
Journal J and receipt shown in FIG. 13 (not shown)
Is printed on For example, a subtotal calculated by pressing the subtotal key (for example, “¥ 5,280”) or a tax (¥ 15)
8) is also printed. Then, for example, if the deposit / cash total key is pressed to declare the end of one transaction, the total (¥ 5,43
8) is calculated and printed on the journal J and the receipt. In addition, the deposit amount from the customer (for example, “¥ 1
If you enter the number "0000"), the change ("¥ 4,5
62 ") is calculated and these are also printed.

When the deposit / cash total key is pressed or the change is calculated, the control unit (CPU, ROM) generates a drawer automatic opening signal. This drawer automatic opening signal causes the drawer opening mechanism to operate to automatically open the drawer. The drawer can be closed by manually pushing in the cash box after giving and receiving money.

Then, when the product code of the next customer is entered for product registration, the date and time [eg, "May 01, 1996 (Wed) 18:48"] and the person in charge (eg, “001,” “Ito Sanae”) is printed on the journal J. Then, the product (for example, “soft cream” or the like) is registered as a product.

Further, the drawer automatic opening signal can be generated by pressing the exchange key. Therefore, it is possible to exchange money by using the drawer that is automatically opened. This exchange data (exchange amount etc.) is also available in Journal J
Is printed on After the exchange, the drawer is closed manually.

Further, for example, timely cash management of the person in charge,
For convenience of exchanging denominations with adjacent electronic cash registers and replenishment of change fund, there is also a drawer which can be opened by operating a drawer opening mechanism with a dedicated key. Closing is manual.

[0009]

By the way, since the drawer stores cash, the money is strictly managed. However, there may be a discrepancy between the change fund and the sales amount at the start of the work and the cash in the drawer at the end of the work.

In such a case, the data printed on the journal J must be analyzed to clarify the reason. Especially, it is necessary to carefully analyze before and after opening and closing the drawer. That is, in the case of FIG. 13, the drawer is opened and closed between the end of the transaction of the previous customer and the business start time of the next customer. Similarly, in the case of currency exchange, it is opened and closed before and after the execution of the currency exchange operation.

However, since it is impossible to know whether or not the drawer has been opened / closed at a timing other than the predetermined timing during the execution of normal business, it may be difficult to clarify the above-mentioned inconsistency. In addition, it is not possible to prompt the clarification and caution of the person in charge. In other words, there is a misconduct that deliberately opens the drawer and exploits the cash. In particular, when the drawer is constructed so that it can be opened using a key, a fraudulent act using a duplicate key is likely to occur depending on the installation environment of the electronic cash register, the personnel change schedule, and the like.
That is, it is impossible to prevent fraudulent activity.

Further, there is a case where the person leaves the electronic cash register in order to confirm the unit price of the discounted product with another person in charge during business or to make a small meeting with a visitor or the like. At this time, even if the drawer remains open, no one will notice until the person returns. The same applies when the drawer is opened by someone while they are apart. Even in these cases, it is not possible to prevent fraud.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of preventing fraudulent activity by clarifying the opening / closing time of the drawer.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problem] Analyzing the fact that the fraudulent activity has occurred can be inferred that the fraudulent activity is being performed by a person who knows that the opening / closing history of the drawer is unknown.
Focusing on this point, the present invention can print the time when the key is opened, which is particularly prone to fraud, and can be printed when the key is manually closed after the key is opened. The opening / closing time according to a predetermined timing is formed so as to be printable, that is, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent act while clarifying the time.

According to the invention of claim 1, the drawer can be automatically opened on condition that the drawer automatic opening signal is generated, and the drawer can be manually closed, and the drawer can be opened with a key. In a commodity sales registration data processing device that is manually closable, when it is possible to detect that the drawer is opened using the key and it is detected that the drawer is opened using the key. The fact and the time concerned are formed so that they can be printed on the journal.

In this invention, when the drawer is opened using the key, it is detected, and the fact that the drawer is opened and the time concerned are printed on the journal. Therefore, when the journal is analyzed later, the fact that the drawer has been opened using the key and the time can be clearly known, so that at least the person in charge at the time is clear and the situation can be specifically known. You can also call attention to the person in charge. Therefore, by making this printing function well known, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts by anyone including the person in charge.

Further, the invention of claim 2 is provided with a drawer which can be automatically opened on the condition that the drawer automatic opening signal is generated, and can be manually closed, and the drawer can be opened with a key. In a commodity sales registration data processing device that can be manually closed, a drawer opening detecting unit that detects that the drawer is opened by using the key, and the drawer opening detecting unit uses the key by the drawer. When a release is detected, the key release print control means for printing that fact and the time concerned in the journal is provided, and the history of release of the drawer using the key is formed in the journal. , Is characterized.

In the above invention, the drawer opening detecting means detects that the drawer is opened by using the key. Then
The unlocked print control means prints that effect (for example, drawer open) and the time at the journal. Therefore, the same operation and effect as in the case of the invention of claim 1 can be obtained, and in addition, the history of opening is automatically printed by using the key even if the person in charge does not perform any special operation, so that the handling is easy. is there.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the drawer opening detecting means can detect that the drawer opened by using the key is manually closed, and the drawer opening detecting means is used. When it is detected that the drawer is manually closed, key closing print control means for printing the fact and the time concerned in the journal is provided, and the drawer opened by using the key is manually closed. The product sales registration data processing device is formed so that the history can also be printed in the journal.

In this invention, the drawer opening detection means is
It detects not only the opening of the drawer with a key, but also the subsequent manual closure. Then, the key release print control means prints the release and the time on the journal, and the key close print control means prints the close and the time on the journal.

Therefore, in addition to the same operational effect as in the case of the second aspect of the invention, the closing time of the opened drawer can be known by using the key, so that the opening period of the drawer can be specified. . Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent fraud.

Further, in the invention of claim 4, the drawer opening detecting means is formed so as to be able to detect that it is automatically opened by the drawer automatic opening signal and that it is manually closed. Even if the opening / closing of the drawer is automatically opened by the drawer automatic opening signal when the drawer opening detection means detects the opening and closing of the drawer, the key closing print control means prints the fact and the time on the journal. It is a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of printing the fact and the time when it is closed manually and manually.

In this invention, the drawer opening detection means is
Detecting not only an opening with a key and a subsequent manual closing, but also an automatic opening and a subsequent manual closing by a drawer automatic opening signal. Then, the key release printing control means prints that fact and the time concerned in the journal not only when using the key but also when automatically releasing. Further, the key closing print control means prints the fact and the time in the journal not only when closing the drawer opened by using the key but also when closing the drawer which is automatically opened. That is, the fact that the drawer is opened and closed and the time of day are all printed regardless of the cause.

Therefore, in addition to the same operational effect as in the case of the third aspect of the invention, it is possible to further clarify the mistake of the person in charge and prevent fraud by the person in charge.

It is formed to do.

Further, the alarm display printing control means composed of the ROM 12 storing the alarm display printing control program and the CPU 11 displays an alarm on the operator display 22 and drives the journal printer 24 to print an alarm on the journal J. (ST24). For the buzzer alarm and display alarm, the clear key on the keyboard 20 is pressed (ST2
(YES at 6) is continued. It is cleared (ST27) by the pressing operation.

The alarm transfer control means is composed of a ROM 12 in which an alarm transfer control program is stored and a CPU 11, and outputs alarm information with the machine number (T / M No.) of the terminal machine 10 to other terminal machines (T / M No.). The alarm is transferred to the T / M) 10 and the host device 30 (ST25). The other terminal machine 10 may be the preset terminal machine 10, an adjacent terminal machine, or a terminal machine in charge of the person in charge. Of course, all terminal machines 10A ~
The alarm may be transferred to 10N.

When the other terminal machine 10 receives this alarm transfer (YES in ST30 of FIG. 8), the other machine buzzer alarm control means (CPU 11, ROM 12) gives a buzzer alarm (ST31) and displays another machine alarm. Control means (CPU1
1, ROM 12) displays an alarm on the operator display 22 (ST32). Machine number of the other machine (T / M No.)
Is also displayed. Pressing the clear key (Y in ST33
It is cleared (ST34) by S). In the case shown in Fig. 9, the alarm display "T / M No. 01 is still open in drawer."

Returning to FIG. 6, the key closing print control means is composed of a ROM 12 storing a key closing print control program and a CPU.

Next, the operation and operation of the first embodiment will be described. The machine number (T / M No.) shown in FIG.
In the terminal device 10A of "1", a person A having a person code of, for example, "001" and a name of, for example, "Ito Sanae", deposits on the keyboard 20 after product registration.
When the current total key is pressed to declare the end of one transaction, the total amount (for example, “¥ 5,438”) is calculated. At this time, the control unit (11, 12) generates the drawer automatic opening signal So shown in FIG. 4 (YES in ST01 of FIG. 5).

Then, the automatic opening device 29 is activated (ST0
2) Then, remove the hook 27F of the drawer opening mechanism 27. Therefore, the cash box 26B is pushed in the X1 direction by the urging force of the opening spring 28. That is, the drawer 26 can be automatically opened. Further, the drawer automatic opening signal generation / storage control means (11, 12) is a RAM 1
"Effect of automatic drawer opening signal So" is stored in the first area of 3 (ST03). It should be noted that this memory is automatically erased after a set time (for example, 2 sec) has elapsed.

Thereafter, the person in charge A inputs the deposit amount (for example, "¥ 10,000") by the key and releases the calculated change ("¥ 4,562") from the drawer 26.
It is taken out from the (cash box 26B) and handed to the customer. The contents above the dotted line shown in FIG. 7 are printed on the journal J at this stage. Also, the day is 9
It is assumed that the time is 6-06-01 and the time is 18:35.

The drawer opening detecting means (11, 12,
In 51), even if the drawer opening / closing sensor 51 is turned on and the detection signal Sd becomes H level, the storage of “the fact that the drawer automatic opening signal So is generated” is stored in the first area in the RAM 13 (ST03 in FIG. 5). Therefore, it is detected that the key is not unlocked (NO in ST11 of FIG. 6). Therefore, the key release print control means (11, 12) does not work.

Here, consider a case where the person A in charge replenishes the change fund by utilizing the fact that the customer is temporarily interrupted.

First, the key is the drawer 26 (26
Insert it into the keyhole 26BK on the front side of B) and turn it in the specified direction.
Then, the mechanically continuous drawer opening mechanism 27 shown in FIG. 4 is opened to disengage the hook 27F. The drawer 26 (26B) is opened by the urging force of the release spring 28.

Then, since the movable terminal 54 of the drawer opening / closing sensor 51 shown in FIG. 4 and the fixed terminal 56 come into contact with each other, the detection signal Sd becomes H level. That is, the drawer opening detection means (11, 12, 51) detects that the drawer 26 has been opened (YES in ST10 of FIG. 6), and R
The first area of the AM 13 is searched and it is confirmed that the memory of “generation of automatic drawer signal generation” is erased. That is, it is detected that the opening cause is due to the key (YES in ST11).

Thus, the key release print control means (11, 1)
In 2), it is confirmed that "key release" is not stored in the second area, that is, the journal is not printed (ST).
12) and then the time (for example, “18: 4
0 ”) and the person in charge (“ 001 ”,“ Ito Sanae ”)
And are read (ST13), that fact (“drawer open”), the time (“18:40”) and the person in charge (“001”, “Ito Sanae”) are printed on the journal J as shown in FIG. (ST14). Day (“96
-06-01 ") is also printed. After that, the key release storage control means (11, 12) stores" key release "in the second area of the RAM 13 (ST15).

The person A who has finished replenishing the change fund,
The cashbox 26B shown in FIG. 4 is manually pushed in the X2 direction to close the drawer 26. The closed state is held by the hook 27F. Then, since the detection signal Sd becomes L level, the drawer opening detection means (11, 12, 5) is opened.
In 1), the closing is detected (YES in ST17), and the fact that the key is released is stored in the second area, so it is detected that the cause of the opening is due to the key (YES in ST18).
I do.

Thus, the key closing print control means (11, 1)
In 2), it is confirmed that “key release” is stored in the second area, that is, the journal is not printed (ST1).
After 9), the person in charge (“001”, “Ito Sanae”) is printed (ST21) together with the fact (“drawer close”) and the time (eg, “18:42”). "96-06-01") is also printed.After this, the memory of "key release" in the second area is automatically erased (ST22), that is, as shown in FIG. It is possible to print and store the history of opening and closing the drawer 26 using the.

Therefore, when looking at the opening and closing history with this key later, the drawer 26 is opened using the key at 18:40 of 96-06-01, and the drawer 26 is opened at 18:42 two minutes later.
Since it is possible to clearly know that the computer has been closed, knowing this function can prevent barbaric attempts to carry out cheating. In addition, since the person A in charge is also printed, it is possible to prevent it even more reliably.

However, at 18:40, the drawer 2
When the person A leaves the place for some reason when opening 6, or when the outside person X leaves the area open using the key or the duplicate key and the continuous opening time Ti2 is the set time Ts2. (Eg 3 min)
When the above is reached, the key release time detecting means (11, 12) detects that the drawer 26 is continuously opened (ST1).
6 YES).

Then, the buzzer alarm control means (11, 1
2) drives the buzzer circuit 18 and outputs a buzzer alarm (ST2
3) and the alarm display print control means (11, 1)
2) displays an alarm on the operator display 22 (ST24)
The journal printer 24 to drive the journal J
The alarm is printed on (ST24). Therefore, the person in charge B of the adjacent terminal machine (for example, 10B) can monitor and at the same time, the drawer 26 of the terminal machine 10A can be closed by visiting the terminal machine, and thus fraud can be prevented. It can also be closed by the person contacted using the handset 17.

Moreover, the alarm transfer control means (11, 12)
