Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as an ECR).
Regarding the device, in particular, a master ECR and multiple slave ECs.
R and each slave ECR is controlled by the master ECR.
Regarding ECRI installation such as ttll management.

Description of Prior Art Conventionally, department stores, supermarkets, and the like have used devices in which a plurality of slave ECRs are installed and these slave ECRs are managed by a master ECR. On the other hand, the cashier (operator) that creates each slave ECRFI has a cashier code (
An operator code) is predetermined, and when a cashier operates a slave ECR, it is common for the cashier to input his or her own cashier code and then register data regarding the product. However, in the above device, 1
Since it is possible for a person's cashier to work with a plurality of slave EORs, there is a drawback that it is unknown even if someone else's cashier code is used to commit fraud. Furthermore, it was possible that the slave ECR, which is prohibited to operate, could be operated by mistake.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ECR device that allows each cashier to manage usable slave ECRs as a master ECR''c.

To summarize the invention, the master ECR is provided with a storage means, and the storage means includes a slave ECR that can be operated by an operator.
CRt-Representing code and slave EC currently in use
When an operator operates one of the plurality of slave ECRs, it is determined whether the operator code is stored in the storage means, and if it is stored, that slave ECRE is used. In addition to giving a permission signal, the slave ECR is configured to store a code indicating that the slave ECR is in use in the corresponding operator area.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the master ECR manages which slave ECR an operator is currently operating, it is possible to prohibit one operator from operating a plurality of slave ECRs at the same time. In other words, each operator cannot use another person's operator code fraudulently. Furthermore, if an operator attempts to input and register his or her operator code and is prohibited from using it, it can be immediately determined that someone else is abusing his or her operator code.

The invention will be explained in more detail below along with embodiments shown in the drawings.
