[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention provides a system in which a schedule for a predetermined period, for example, a schedule for one bite, is inputted and operations are automatically performed according to this schedule. This invention relates to a sales data input/output device (hereinafter referred to as P.O.S.) for gas service stations.

(Prior Art) Recent fueling stations include a plurality of fueling machines and a gas pump connected to these machines. o. It is composed of s. FIG. IA and FIG. 18 are p. o. s is installed at a gas station. In the figure, 1.

2 is the first and second refueling machine, 4 is p, o. It is s. Refueling machine 1, 2 and P. O. It is connected to S4 by a traffic light 3. There are often more than two refueling machines installed, but they are omitted here.

The above refueling machine has the following configuration and function. Note that since the refueling machines 1 and 2 have the same structure, the first refueling machine will be explained as an example.

When the nozzle 1h is removed from the nozzle hook 1g, a signal indicating that the nozzle has been removed is output from the nozzle switch 11. As a result, the motor 1a starts rotating. Then, when the nozzle is inserted into the fuel filler port of the automobile and the nozzle valve is opened, the gasoline stored in the underground tank is pumped up by the pump 1b. The pumped gasoline passes through a flow meter 1cs and a hose 1r, and is supplied to the car from a nozzle 111.

The flow meter IC transmits the number of pulses corresponding to the amount of gasoline supplied from the pulse transmitter 1d.

The pulses output from the pulse transmitter 1d are input to the oil supply amount display meter 10, and the oil supply amount is displayed.

After refueling, hang the nozzle 1h on the nozzle hook 1g,
A signal indicating that the nozzle is turned on is output from the nozzle switch 11, the motor 1a is stopped, and the refueling operation is completed.

P, O, S4 are a card reader 4a, a function key switch 4b1 on a keyboard 4f, a numeric keypad switch 4e, a book type key switch 4d, a floppy or cassette loading section 4c, a printer 4g, a sound generator 41, a CRT 4h for data display, etc. It has input/output means.

The amount of refueling from the refueling machine 1.2 is converted into flow rate pulses by the pulse transmitter 1d of the flowmeter IC, and sent through the signal line 3 to P, O, and S4.

Each time one refueling is completed, a refueling slip is issued by the printers 4g, p, o, and s, and the sales data is stored in a floppy disk or cassette 4e.

For products other than songs sold from refueling machines 1 and 2, such as tires, batteries, accessories, etc., input data is C.
The information is displayed on the RT 4h, a slip is issued from the printer 4g in the same way as the refueling data, and it is stored in the floppy disk or cassette 4e.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) The conventional P, O, and S systems described above can process sales data of products purchased by customers, but do not have other functions. do not have.

Generally, at gas stations, there is a request for information about what percentage of the target amount the sales on -day were, or whether the sales exceeded the target amount. In addition, when the unit price of gasoline is changed at a predetermined time of day, there is a request to automatically switch the unit price of gasoline to J. Furthermore, there are also requests for work that has a fixed time to be automatically notified when the time comes.

However, as mentioned above, the conventional p, o, s,
The drawback was that it was unable to respond to these requests.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above,
To provide a sales data human output device for a gas service station that can automatically change the unit price of gasoline at a predetermined time.

(Means and effects for solving the problems) The present invention has the following features:
In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a means for processing refueling data sent from a refueling machine and sales data input from a keyboard, a means for storing the processed data, a means for printing the data, and the data. A sales data input/output device for a gas service station comprising at least a means for displaying a unit price, a means for storing a plurality of unit prices, a means for storing a schedule for switching the unit prices, and a timer means for notifying the schedule storage means of the time. and means for switching the unit price storage means, and is characterized in that the unit price is displayed on the display means at least when switching the unit price.

According to the present invention, the unit price of oil can be changed at a scheduled time by sending the time generated by the timer means to the schedule storage means.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below based on the block diagram shown in FIG. 2.

In the figure, 1 is the same as the first refueling machine 1 in FIG. In the refueling machine 1, 1j indicates a counting circuit, and other symbols are the same as those in the refueling machine shown in FIG.

The block diagrams other than the refueling machine 1 show the configurations of P, O, and S4. A flow rate pulse signal from the pulse transmitter 1d corresponding to the amount of fuel supplied to the fueling machine 1 is input to a counting circuit 11 and a gate circuit 12. The counting circuit 11 outputs the counting result, that is, the amount of refueling, to the arithmetic circuit 13 in response to a signal output from the nozzle switch 11 when the nozzle 1h of the refueling machine 1 is applied to the nozzle hook 1g after refueling.

The unit price of gasoline is stored in the unit price storage circuits 15a, 15b', and 15c. This is used when trying to average out the number of customers by changing the unit price of gasoline between times of the day when there are many customers and times when there are not many customers. For example, from opening (7 a.m.) to 10 a.m., the unit price is A (for example, 165 yen/f), and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., there is relatively little free time, so the discount unit price is B (for example, selling at 160 yen/f, 16 From 20:00 to 20:00, unit price A, and from 20:00 to closing (22:00), night premium unit price C (for example, 170 yen /
It is used when selling on the street. In such a case, B is stored in A 115b and C is stored in 15c in the unit price storage circuit 15a.

When the above-mentioned unit price switching time comes, the switching circuit 14 receives a command from a schedule storage circuit 26, which will be described later, and switches the unit price. In the arithmetic circuit 13, the above-mentioned counting circuit 11
Data representing the amount of refueling sent from the switching circuit 14
Multiply by the unit price passed through. The results are stored in the cassette or floppy disk 4e, and are stored in the printer 4e.
Sent to g. The data representing the amount of oil supplied to the counting circuit 11 is also
Stored on cassette or floppy 4e, printer 4g
and a refueling slip will be issued. Incidentally, when the unit price is changed, the new unit price is displayed on the CRT 4h and at the same time the sound generator 41 operates to call the attention of employees and the like.

In the illustrated embodiment, there is only one refueling machine, but when the total amount of refueling from a plurality of refueling machines is to be integrated by the integrating circuit 18, it is connected to the integrating circuit 18 via the gate circuit 12. The gate circuit 12 functions to prevent signals from the pulse transmitters of the respective fueling machines from passing through at the same time when a plurality of fueling machines are operating simultaneously. The signal passing through the gate circuit 12 is subjected to vt calculation by an integration circuit 18. Since the gate circuit 12 functions as described above, no matter how many refueling machines are operating at the same time, the total amount of refueling is definitely integrated. This integration circuit 18 is activated once, for example, when the store opens on the 1st.
It is reset by key operation from keyboard 4.

The sales target storage circuit 19 stores sales targets for gasoline or sales targets for products other than gasoline, such as tires, batteries, accessories, etc. (hereinafter abbreviated as T, B, and A) for day -1.

In this embodiment, the sales targets for gasoline are stored in terms of the amount of gasoline, and the sales targets for T, B, and A are stored in full amounts. Note that these data are input from the keyboard 4r.

The percentage calculation circuit 21 determines what percentage of the target sales of gasoline and T, B, and A have reached. Regarding gasoline, it is calculated from the data from the integration circuit 18 and the sales target amount of gasoline input into the sales target storage circuit 19. On the other hand, regarding T, B, and A, the unit price and number are entered from the keyboard 4r every time T, B, and A are sold.

Then, the sales amount for each sale is calculated by the arithmetic circuit 22,
The total sales of T, B, and A since opening are stored in the memory circuit 23. Therefore, the percentage of sales of T, B, and A relative to the target value is determined by the percentage of T, B, and A stored in the storage circuit 23.
B, A's total sales and T in the sales target memory circuit 19,
It is calculated by the percentage calculation circuit 21 from the sales target amounts of B and A. These results are displayed on CRT4h. At the same time, a sound is emitted from the sound generator 41 to draw the attention of the employee d and the like.

Schedules such as when to switch the gasoline unit price described above in the switching circuit 14 or when to output the sales target achievement rate from the % calculation circuit 21 are inputted into the first schedule storage circuit 26 by the keyboard 4r.

On the other hand, an employee's daily schedule is input into the second schedule storage circuit 27 from the keyboard 4.For example, when a customer requests maintenance for 6 months or a car wash, etc. At what time (for example, 11 a.m.), O
Data indicating that the user is going to O's house to pick up the car is input.

Also, when there is an order for kerosene, for example, at 1 p.m.
200 kerosene to o's house! The data to be delivered is entered.

Since the above-mentioned data is input to the first and second schedule storage circuits 26 and 27, the former uses a storage circuit that retains the data even after it is read out. On the other hand, for the latter, it is preferable to use a memory circuit in which data is erased once it is read.

the first and second schedule storage circuits 26 and 2;
The time-related data outputted from 7 is inputted from timer 28 . For example, the first schedule storage circuit 26
As mentioned above, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m., the unit price of gasoline is A111.
If a schedule is stored in which the unit price is A2O from 6:00 to 20:00 and C is the unit price from 20:00 to 22:00,
When the time output from the timer 28 matches the time stored in the first schedule storage circuit 26, a command for the job at this time is issued to the switching circuit 14. For example, the 10 schedules stored in the first schedule storage circuit 26
When the time and 10 o'clock sent from the timer 28 match, the switching circuit 1 is sent from the first schedule storage circuit 26.
4, a signal indicating that rl is transferred from the value memory circuit 15a to 15b is output. Switching of unit prices at other times is performed in the same manner.

Also, from the % calculation circuit 21, gasoline or T, B
, A's sales target achievement rate is output in the same manner as described above. For example, when outputting the sales target achievement rate at 12:00, 17:00, and 21:00, the first schedule includes the times 12:00, 17:00, and 21:00 stored in the memory circuit 26, and the timer 28. When the sent times of 12:00, 17:00, and 21:00 match, the first
A command is issued from the schedule storage circuit 26 to the % calculation circuit 21.

Similarly to the first schedule storage circuit 26, the second schedule storage circuit 27 also receives input from the timer 28 and displays job details corresponding to the time at a predetermined time specified in the schedule on the CRT 411. have it done.

At this time, the sound generator 41 sounds to call attention.

In this embodiment, the amount of refueling, its price, and the sales amount of T, B, and A are stored in the cassette or floppy disk 4e, and these data are printed out as a slip from the printer 4g. On the other hand, the CRT 4h contains data regarding the sales target achievement rate of gasoline or T, B, and A, sales of T, B, and A, data regarding gasoline unit price switching, and employee information output from the second schedule storage circuit 27. Information about the schedule is displayed. The sound generator 4i generates sounds simultaneously with these displays.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the sales data input/output device for gas service stations of the present invention, there is an effect that the gasoline unit price can be automatically changed at a predetermined time.
