Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an electronic cash register, and more particularly to an electronic cash register with improved operability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a restaurant or the like adopting a POS system, when a customer pays for food and drink, information on the amount of money, ordered goods, food and drink, and quantity information is referred to a terminal input device while referring to an order receipt brought by the customer. The total amount is obtained by keying in from 1.

On the other hand, among customers, there are many group customers composed of several people. In this case, the settlement process is easy if the lump-sum payment is made in a lump sum, but in the case of the split payment, where each customer pays equally, the clerk or customer uses a calculator based on the total amount, or Was calculating individual payments.

[0004]

Therefore, in the conventional electronic cash register, it takes time to use an electronic calculator to calculate each payment amount or to calculate by hand. At this time, if the total amount is known in advance and it can be calculated in advance, it is still good, but since the total amount is usually known only before the cash register, the calculation on the spot is delayed at the time of congestion and the customer's payment process is delayed As a result, this is a major cause of inefficient settlement processing.

[0005] In addition, when calculating the individual payment amount by dividing the total amount equally, even if the total amount is divided by the number of people, the division is not always divisible, and a fraction may be generated. It is a big problem. In particular, in the calculation of the total amount and the split payment amount in consideration of the consumption tax, there are many fractions, and the above-mentioned quick settlement process becomes more difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic cash register capable of quickly performing a settlement process at the time of a settlement.

[0007]

According to the present invention, there is provided an electronic cash register comprising:
Information such as the quantity is input from the terminal input device, and in an electronic cash register for displaying / printing the total amount, a split bill for calculating the payment amount per person from the total amount obtained from the ordered goods and the quantity of the plurality of persons. A key is provided on the input device, and in response to the operation of the split bill key, the total amount is divided by the plurality of persons to calculate a payment amount per person. If the division results in a fraction, the fraction is calculated. Is added to only one of the plurality of persons, and the obtained individual payment amount is displayed / printed.

[0008]

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a basic configuration block diagram of an embodiment of an electronic cash register according to the present invention.

An electronic cash register constructed as a POS system is provided with a key 1 from a terminal input device 1.
1, the input information is supplied to the POS main body 2, and various POS processes are performed.
Details such as quantity and amount are displayed on the display 3 and printed out by the printer 4.

In the present invention, an input key 11 and a split billing key 12 are provided as keys of the terminal input device 1, and information such as ordinary products and quantities is input by the input key 11, and a customer offers a split billing settlement. Sometimes the split bill key 12 is pressed. The split key 12 can be a function key.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the split billing key 12 is pressed. When the settlement process is started, merchandise, quantity information, and the like are input using the input keys 11 (step S1), and the total amount is calculated (step S2). Next, it is determined whether or not the split billing key 12 is pressed ("ON") (step S).
3). If the split key 12 has not been pressed, the ordered product, the quantity, the total price, and the like are displayed on the display 3 and the printer 4 prints the information (step S4), and the process ends.

On the other hand, in step S3, if the split bill key 12 is depressed, the amount of payment per person is calculated from the total amount and the number of customers. Is added to only the amount, and an individual payment amount is calculated, and these information are displayed on the display 3 and printed by the printer 4 (step S5), and the process ends.

[0013]

As described above, in the electronic cash register according to the present invention, the payment per person can be easily obtained only by the operation of the split bill key 12 by the operator without the need for the customer to perform the split bill settlement. Instead, even if a fraction arises due to the split accounting, the fraction can be added to only one person and the individual payment amount can be clearly notified, so that the quick accounting process can be performed, and the split accounting process at the time of congestion can be done And efficient payment processing can be performed.
