Product trading operations for human customers are completed. If you do not have change, just hand over the receipt to the customer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional electronic cash register described above has the following problems. In other words, the cashier has to account for and receive the payment amount and change amount by himself, which is a burden. In addition, there were many cases in which customers were required to take the time to pay the bill. Furthermore, since the drawer 5 is opened when collecting tolls, customers can see the cash in the drawer, and failures such as poor contact of connectors are likely to occur due to photographing when the drawer is opened and closed.

Therefore, the present invention can reduce the burden on the cashier by automatically accounting for the payment amount and the amount of change, and does not make the customer wait by taking the time to complete the account. It is an object of the present invention to provide a product sales data processing device that can prevent cash from being exposed and reduce the incidence of failure.

In addition to the above object, the present invention also aims to provide a product sales data processing device that can further reduce the burden on the cashier by issuing receipts without involving the cashier.

That is, as a first means, there is an automatic payment section A provided with a money input port a1 and a money output port a2, and a product that registers product sales data inputted from an input section b1 in a storage section b2 and calculates the sales amount. The automatic payment section Δ inputs the total amount of money to be deposited from the money input slot a1 using the deposit amount calculation means C, and converts the calculated deposit amount information into deposit amount information. The transmission means transmits the money to the product sales data processing section B, and the money corresponding to the change amount information processed by the product sales data processing section B is sent to the money ejection port by the money ejection means E as necessary. J to be discharged from a2: The product sales data processing unit B calculates the amount of change according to the key input of the deposit key F, which is input when the deposit amount information is transmitted from the automatic payment unit A. The change amount is calculated by subtracting the sales amount from the deposited amount by the means G, and the calculated change amount information is transmitted to the automatic payment section A by the change amount information transmission means H.

Further, the present invention provides, as a second means, an automatic payment section A provided with a money input port a1 and a money output port a2, and an input section b.
and a product sales data processing unit B which registers the product sales data inputted from 1 in the storage unit b2, inputs the sales amount, and creates print data b3 based on the product sales data and the sales amount. The payment unit A calculates the total amount of money inputted from the money input slot a1 using the deposited amount calculation means C, and uses the deposited amount information to process the product sales data using the deposited amount information transmission means. and the product sales data processing unit B.
The money corresponding to the change amount information processed in is discharged from the money discharge port a2 by the money discharge means E as necessary, and the print data b3 given from the product sales data processing section B by the receipt issuing means I. The product sales data processing section B issues the change in accordance with the key input of the deposit key F, which is input when the deposit amount information is transmitted from the automatic payment section. The amount calculation means G divides the sales amount from the deposited amount to obtain the change amount, and the change amount information transmission means H transmits the calculated change amount information to the automatic payment section A together with the print data b3. This is how it was done.

[Operation] In the product sales data processing device that takes the first method, by inserting money into the money slot, the deposited amount is automatically calculated, and the sales amount is subtracted from the deposited amount. Since the amount of change is calculated and the money corresponding to the amount of change is discharged from the money outlet, there is no need for the cashier to account for the payment amount and the amount of change, and to give and receive, and a drawer is not required.

In addition, in the product sales data processing device that takes the second method, by inserting money into the money slot, the deposited amount is automatically calculated, and the sales amount is subtracted from the deposited amount to make change. The amount is calculated, the money corresponding to the amount of change is discharged from the money outlet, and a receipt is automatically issued, so there is no need for the cashier to give or receive a receipt.

On the other hand, when the confirmation key 25b is pressed, the deposit amount is displayed on the CRT.
Since it is displayed on the display 13 or the like, the cashier presses the deposit key 12a after seeing this display. When this is done, change processing is performed to subtract the sales amount from the deposited amount, and if the deposited amount is insufficient, the insufficient amount is displayed on the payment machine display section 26 or the like. Therefore, the customer invested the missing amount,
Press the confirmation key 25b again.

If the deposit amount is greater than the sales amount, the print data is transmitted from the electronic cash register 10 side to the automatic payment 120 side, a receipt is created by the receipt printer 29, and then the change amount is sent to the payment machine. Display section 2
6 etc. and the receipt and change are discharged from the money outlet 24', so the customer pays the receipt and change. Note that when the amount of change is 0, only L/receipt is discharged.

As described above, according to the present device, there is no need for the cashier to count the amount paid by the customer and the amount of change given to the customer, and there is no need for the cashier to give or receive money or receipts, and there is no need to close the drawer 5. , the burden on the cashier is reduced. In addition, since there is no need for the cashier to take the time to account for the customer, the service can be improved. Furthermore, since the drawer 5 is not required, customers will not be able to see the cash at the store, and damage caused by impact when opening and closing the drawer can be prevented.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, in the embodiment described above, cash registers 1 to 1 are issued by the automatic teller machine 20 without the cashier's intervention;
