Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a bargain sale information processing device that can automatically set bargain sale information.

(Prior art) A pricing machine that issues labels to be affixed to foodstuffs and miscellaneous goods such as fresh foods such as kidney vegetables, fish and shellfish, and processed foods such as various side dishes is widely known in the distribution industry. It is also used. Among these seed planting machines, some are used in process centers, vendors, main stores, etc. that package and ship these products to chain stores, supermarkets, various shops, etc. Many of these seed planting machines are controlled by a host computer.

In addition, each retail store such as a store weighs the product and
A small weighing and pricing machine is used that has a printer that prints necessary items such as weight, unit price, price, etc. on a label.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in retail stores such as supermarkets and shops, products are sold at special prices during specific periods on weekends or in the evening hours of specific days. In some cases, the company may try to promote sales and increase sales.

However, sale dates vary from retail store to retail store, and even at the same retail store, some products are on sale and some are not.

For this reason, when issuing labels to be affixed to products at process centers or vendors, they check what products are on sale at each retail store before issuing the labels. In addition to complicating pricing operations, this also causes inconveniences such as incorrect label issuance.

In addition, in the electronic weighing and pricing machines (electronic scales) used in stores, etc., a regular price and a sale price are set in advance, and the user selects between the regular price and the sale price by operating a selection switch. A method has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-207832, but this also requires an operator to operate a selection switch and has the problem of increasing the number of parts.

Therefore, the present invention provides a special sale information processing device aimed at solving the problems of the prior art.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides means for setting and storing sale management information including the sale date and time of the product in advance in a label issuing machine that issues a label with product information written on it to be attached to the product. , a means for inputting and setting a date and time in advance when issuing a label; a means for comparing the sale date and time of the sale management information with the set date and time when issuing the label; and when the sale date and time match the set date and time, the sale management information A means for issuing a label using a special sale information processing device is provided.

(Function) In the present invention, special sale management information such as special sale period, time zone, etc., and special sale price are set in advance for each product, and pricing is done by simply setting the sale date and time during processing. automatically determines whether the item is on sale or not, and if it is, the sale management information is added to the pricing information, simplifying operations for the operator and omitting parts such as selection switches. can.

(Example) Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are explanatory diagrams showing an example of a registration memory.

(a) Pricing is registered memory This memory has areas for call number, product code, product name character code, unit price, processing date, validity period, etc. Each area can be accessed using the numeric keypad for each product. The input data is stored.

When weighing and pricing, a tare weight is further set so that the net weight can be calculated when weighing the product.

These prices are registered in a host computer or in various memory media such as a magnetic tape and a floppy disk built into the electronic scale.

(b) Prices in special sale management information registration memory (a) are provided independently in a memory separate from the registration memory, and the same product code is set for the same products as in (a), and each product For each sale, enter data such as store name, sale unit price, sale start date, sale completion date, etc. using the numeric keypad. By storing such bargain sale management information, it is possible to set information such as which store, at what price, and from when to when a particular product will be on sale.

Note that when weighing and pricing is performed using an electronic scale, the store used is specified, so the store name area is unnecessary.

FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) are block diagrams showing a schematic configuration of the present invention. Next, this block diagram will be explained.

(a) When connecting the price tag to a host computer The host computer has a CPUI, a CRT 2, a keyboard 3, an input/output board 4, and memories 5a to 5d, and is connected to the price tag 6 by a pass line 7. has been done.

The memory 5a stores basic pricing instruction information such as item name, and the memory 5b stores normal unit price information.

In addition, the memory 5c stores bargain sale management information having each item as shown in FIG. 2(b).
d stores several days worth of pricing type instruction information.

The pricing machine is used to set prices when products are packed and shipped to each store by specifying the sales date of the product at the store and inputting it from the keyboard when creating the label, and the sales date will be displayed during the sale period. If the host computer determines that the price is within the range, the bargain sale information is automatically set as the pricing information, and no extra operations by the operator are required. Further, even if a special sale is set during a specific sales time on a specific day, the special sale information is automatically set in the pricing information by specifying the sale date and time.

(b) When weighing values are determined using an electronic scale, the control section of the electronic scale is composed of a microcomputer, etc., and includes a CPU 11 and a display section 12.
, an operating section 13 such as a keyboard, a measuring section 14 using a load cell, etc., a label printing section 15, and memories 16a to 16C1.
It has a manpower boat 17.

The memory 16a contains normal pricing instruction information, and the memory 16b
Special sale management information is stored in the memory 16C, and planting machine instruction information is stored in the memory 16C. In this case as well, the CPU automatically determines whether the product to be weighed and priced is a special sale item on the day of sale or during a specific sales time, based only on the human power of the sale date or sales time, and uses the sale information as a value Since the attachment is set as information, the operation by the operator is simplified.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the present invention. Next, this flowchart will be explained.

For pricing, the information creation program is started, and for pricing, the sales date of the information creation is specified using the numeric keypad (step PI).

Next, special sale management information is recalled from memory (step P2
). In this process, the product code of the product, the store code of the shipping destination, etc. are specified using the numeric keypad, and the necessary data is called from the bargain sale management information registration memory shown in FIG. 2(b). Next, it is checked whether the sale date is after the sale start date (step P3), and if the determination is No, the process moves to step P6, and the presence or absence of the next sale management information is checked.

If the determination is YES, then it is determined whether the sale date is before the sale end date (step P4); if the determination is No, the process moves to step P6; if the determination is YES, the sale information is Set pricing information (Step Ps)
. When the series of processing is completed, the presence or absence of the next sale management information is checked in step P6, and if the judgment is No, the processing of this program is ended, and if the judgment is YES,
The processing routine from step P2 onwards is repeated.

Although the gist of the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it is clear that various modifications or modifications of the present invention based on what has been described above are possible.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention allows sale information such as the sale start date and end date to be set in advance for each product, and when setting the information using a pricing machine, the sale By simply entering the sales period, such as date and time, it will automatically determine whether the product is on sale or not, and the sale information and price will be added to the information, simplifying the process for the operator. Since selection switches and the like can also be omitted, costs are reduced.
