Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the monitor business of a cash manager and present materials effective for management analysis, a strategy, etc., by transmitting data indicating operation or use conditions to a central controller side. CONSTITUTION:When a data transfer request instruction, an operation state detecting instruction, or the like is transmitted during operation of a system, an interrupt processing is performed. That is, it is checked whether a machine number coincides with a number in a memory 4 or not. If they coincide with each other, it is discriminated where or not contents of an Fz register in a CPU2 are in course of registration. If registration is terminated, data is transferred to an X register in the CPU2 by the time of a timer 3, and stopping response data is set to a prescribed register in accordance with the discrimination result of its contents. Next, operating or stopping response data is outputted simultaneously with the stop time in the X register and is transmitted to the central controller. Thus, the Fz register is provided to transmit discrimination data to the central controller, thereby reducing the monitor business and presenting various materials.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is applied to a Gator processing device which is capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from a central control device I.

[Prior art]

In recent years, in large stores such as supermarkets and department stores, in-line systems or in-line systems have been introduced in which electronic registers installed at each sales floor are connected to a central control unit and data is sent and received between the electronic registers and the central control unit. ζ−゛online system is adopted.

[Conventional technology interlacing point]

However, in this type of system, the center side (central control unit side) cannot directly determine whether each electronic register is actually operating or not, and as a result, in order to check the operating status, Employees had to go to each sales floor each time, placing a burden on cashier managers and other supervisors.

[Purpose of the invention]

This invention was made against the background of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to facilitate the monitoring work of the cashier manager by transmitting data indicating the operation or usage status to the central control device side. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sales data processing device that can reduce sales data and present data effective for business analysis, strategy, etc.

[Key points of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention stores a flag that is set when a transaction-specific key indicating the end of registration is operated, and is reset when the next key is operated, and The gist of the system is that item type data corresponding to the data is transmitted to the central control unit.

〔Example〕

The following is a block circuit diagram of an electronic register (terminal) applied to a system or an online system based on an embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings. 1 in the diagram is the key human resources department,
It has a number key for inputting the sales amount, a department key for specifying 11 departments, a transaction key for indicating the end of registration, etc. Key manual data output from this input unit 1 in response to key operations is input to a CPU (central Ω processing circuit) 2.

0PU2 executes input processing, registration processing, transmission processing, etc. according to various microinstructions stored in advance, and has X1Y, Z registers for input/output, calculation, etc., and also stores predetermined flags. It has an FZ register. This FZ register stores a flag indicating whether or not the transaction key 1544 has just been created. And C
The PU2 outputs a STA'I'/5TOP signal that instructs the timer 3 to stop/start the timekeeping operation, and also outputs a clear signal. Timer 3 obtains time data of hours, minutes, and seconds by multiplexing a clock signal of a predetermined frequency, for example, a signal of JljJ every 1 second, and this time data is input to O1'TJ2 and stored in the X register. Set.

The 'Hf' memory 4 is made up of RAM (random access memory), and writes and reads are executed under the control of the CPU 2, and the total memory is increased by exchanging data with the 0PU2. Sales revenue 51 data in 4 is displayed in purple 0 Also, the total memory 4 includes a memory area 1V41 that stores the cumulative total of down time when the electronic register is not in operation, and a memory that stores the machine number of the electronic register. Area M2 and departmental total,
Memory area M for storing various sales total data of 1, such as for each transaction unit.

The structure has the following.

On the other hand, the OP U 2 is connected to the medium heat control device (L Hakusui Zezu) via the transmission system S1 circuit 5 by a telephone line 111, etc., and sends and receives data to and from the central control device to perform various Execute the process. Further, the CPU 2 outputs a reading command to the clock circuit 6 and inputs the current time, date, etc. obtained by the clock circuit 6.

Further, the amount data and the like outputted from the CPU 2 are sent to the printing unit 7, where they are printed on receipt paper and journal paper, and are also sent to the display unit 8 where they are digitally displayed.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. When the power is turned on, the operation according to the flow shown in FIG. 2 is executed. First,
In step S0, the presence or absence of key human power is checked, and the system enters a standby state until key human power is available. If there is human power on the key, the process proceeds to the next step S2, where it is determined whether the operated key is an approximate number key (near T is performed).

Now, assuming that a key other than the numeric key has been operated, the process moves to step S3, and it is determined whether the operated key is a transaction-specific key that ends the registration of one transaction. If there is, the process returns to step Sl after executing other processing (step 84) corresponding to the 1'h work 4-, or if it is a transaction-specific key, steps ε to s8 are sequentially executed. .

That is, the timer 3 is cleared (after executing step S-in, the time measurement operation of the timer 3 is started (step Sa). Next, the process proceeds to step 87, and a flag indicating that -take σ1 has just been registered is set. "1" is set in the FZ register.Next, the process proceeds to step S8, and after executing the registration process (step Ss) corresponding to the operated transaction key, the process returns to step S1.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that it is the i'ML number key, the process moves to the next step S, and FZ
It is determined whether "1°" is set in the register or not. In other words, it is determined whether or not "1°" is set in the register, in other words, immediately after the previous registration has been completed, the current number is the first number for this transaction, but 100 is determined. Here, if it is determined as "1", then in the next step Sho, a process is executed in which the IgFfi, i+ data taken by the timer 3 is read out and transferred to the X register.

This 4. ', the X register is set with the time data from immediately after the registration of the previous movement to the first number of the current take (. Therefore, this time data is the non-operating time of the electronic register ( Then, in the next step S11, it is determined whether this time data is more than a predetermined value, for example, more than 2 minutes.If it is more than 1N, the process proceeds to step S1□. After executing the process of accumulating the contents of the X register to the contents (stop time) of the memory area M1 of the sales if memory 4, the process J21! (step 513) for clearing the contents of the timer 3 is executed. , N not 71) l, H, step S1.3 is directly executed.

Next, proceed to step S, 4, and write II O to the Fz register.
A process of transferring n and clearing its contents is executed, then the process proceeds to step 5Ifl, after which flt number process is executed, '4M/fJ is executed in step S1. In addition, F
The Z register is like Ueyama < , m I W'! , t&, the contents become °゛0°゛, so for subsequent numbers, the process moves from step So to step SI5.

On the other hand, when a data transfer request command or an operating state detection command is received from the central control unit, included processing is executed according to the flow shown in Figure 3. First, in step S1, the transmitted machine number or
rl-; Set W to 1 to determine whether it matches that of the child register. If a mismatch is detected, the included processing is invalidated; however, if a match is detected, the process advances to step S2 and Hinoki fJ
Whether or not the f+ state detection command was transmitted is I! l H”r
r will be done. In this 9th case, the operation state detection command is issued by the central control unit by key operation, etc. to perform collection processing at any specified 11 or f point, collection processing at fixed time intervals, or when a terminal is arbitrarily specified. This is the signal output to the Then,
” - If it is determined that rNOJ is determined in step s2, the process proceeds to step s3, and other operations are executed according to the transmitted instruction, or if it is rYEsJ, the process proceeds to step s4, where the contents of the AFz register are It is determined whether it is "1" or "0", that is, whether it is being registered or not. If it is being registered, the process advances to step S, and a process P11 of setting in-operation response data 1 to a predetermined register is executed.

Furthermore, if the registration is completed, step 86 and By will be executed sequentially, and the one-wait data of timer 3 will be sent to the X register, and then the contents of the If the result is N or more, the process proceeds to step S8, and a process Bll is executed to set the stop tN answer data in a predetermined register.
If it is less than that, step S5 described above is executed. When the process of setting the l+it response data for running or stopped operations is completed in this way, the process proceeds to step S, where the stop time data is read from memory area 1 of the sales total memory 4 and stored in the X register. be transferred. Next, the process proceeds to step 810, and outputs the above-mentioned operating or stopped II (', ', each data 1) along with the stop time in the X register.
The process of transmitting 1 to the central control unit is executed.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be modified and applied in various ways without departing from the scope of the present invention. That is, for example, in addition to the above embodiment, the time when the power is turned on and the time when the power is turned off [l Temple II! Try to remember the time,
From this, calculate the time the electronic register is powered on,
The operating rate of one electronic register may be determined by dividing the stop time shown in the above embodiment by the time during which the power supply CIJ is running. In this case, the above calculation may be performed by the terminal (electronic register) or by the central controller.

Also, at the time of stopping and the time of starting operation, a job code indicating stop/start is inserted from the terminal side in the center. In this way, the central control device can accurately know the period during which the terminal has been in operation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained in detail above, this invention stores a flag that is set when a transaction key indicating the end of registration is operated and is reset when the next key is operated, Since we have made it possible to send the corresponding identification data to the central control unit in a single sentence, that is, we have made it possible to send data indicating the operation or usage status, it is possible for the Charasha administrator to! 1llll□Shi pear i9riwo':
