Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR).
In particular, it is related to [OR] such as distributing data to a registration department and a payment department, registering data related to products in the registration department, and performing change processing 41 and other 11'J processing in the paddy management.

Summary of the Invention The ECR according to this invention separates the registration section and the adhesive section!
111, the registration section registers data regarding the product, issues a card with the total amount recorded, and reads the card at the payment section to perform payment processing.

Conventional technologyConventional E CRi,! The operator inputs the amount data of the products traded by the customer using the numeric keypad, inputs the department code using the department keys, and repeats this process to register data regarding all the products. Then, when the registration process is completed, the customer operates the deposit/current key to perform the three-step process, and then performs tax processing based on the cash paid by the customer.

By the way, in supermarkets and the like, when the store becomes crowded, customers often have to wait for a long time for the ECR to process their registration. This is because it takes a long time to input from the keyboard.

In order to simplify such registration processing, an ECR system has been put into practical use in which barcodes are attached to products in advance and the barcodes are read and registered using a scanner.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above-mentioned ECRs in which data related to products are registered using a keyboard or a scanner, there is no difference in payment processing.

After the operator registers data regarding the product from the keyboard or the computer, the operator issues a command to calculate the sum δ1, receives cash from the customer, and processes the change.

However, this change processing also takes a relatively long time, so the registration section and the payment section are separated, and operators are divided into the 0 record section and the paddy Q section, respectively, so that they can operate the two-person EC.
R has also been put into practical use.

However, since each of the ECRs described above requires not only a registration section but also a TR8 section, the functions of the ECR have to become complicated. Further, when comparing the ECR registration process and the payment process, the Ω record processing takes a longer time than the payment process.

Therefore, if you separate the payment section from each ECR and place only the ¥fi calculation section in a separate location so that payment processing can be performed, li! It will be possible to improve the efficiency of i-arithmetic processing and to simplify the functions of each ECR.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ECR in which only the payment section is provided separately from the registration section, so that the payment processing can be performed efficiently and the functions can be simplified.

Means for Solving the Problems The ECR according to the present invention is configured separately into a registration section and a settlement section. A plurality of registration units are provided, each of which includes a product data input means for inputting data related to the product, a calculation means for calculating the sum of amount data included in the input data related to the product, and a calculation unit for calculating the sum of amount data included in the data related to the input product. and a card issuing means for issuing a card containing the total amount data.

On the other hand, at least one settlement section is provided, and includes a card reader for reading the total amount recorded on the issued card (a card reader), a display means for displaying the total amount data collected, and a customer an amount data input means for inputting the amount data paid by the customer; a change processing means for processing change when the input amount and data are larger than the total amount data read from the card; and money and change paid by the customer. It consists of a cash storage box for storing cash.

Operation: The ECR according to the present invention first inputs data related to products in the registration section, totalizes the entered price data of the products, and issues a card with the total amount recorded. The customer receives the HD card, goes to the payment department, and has the card reader read and display the vehicle-specific amount recorded on the card.

The customer looks at the display and pays cash, and the operator receives the cash and inputs the amount data. If the cash paid by the customer is greater than the total amount d1, change is processed and the operator pays the change stored in the tax storage box.
