Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a merchandise sales data processing apparatus and a merchandise sales data processing method.

  From the standpoint of sales promotion and the like, discounts on merchandise are performed, but an apparatus that more effectively supports customer enclosure has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This is to obtain useful privilege information by inputting a plurality of pieces of divided privilege information at the same time, and to encourage customers to visit the store for the purpose of arranging a plurality of pieces of divided privilege information.

  In addition, proposals have been made to digitize coupons for merchandise value to increase convenience (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  Conventionally, when discount processing is performed on one item (product item), only one menu can be selected per discount.

  Therefore, when the discount with the same amount and the discount with the same ratio are executed for a plurality of products, the operation is complicated and there is a possibility of causing an operation error.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales data processing apparatus that collectively processes discounts for a plurality of merchandise.

The product sales data processing apparatus of the embodiment includes a display unit that displays information on a display surface, an input unit that inputs data, an information processing unit that performs information processing by connecting to the input unit and the display unit,
The information processing unit displays information on a plurality of selectable discount tickets on the display unit, receives the number of the selected discount tickets via the input unit, and A process for displaying a menu list in which selectable product items are arranged on the display unit, and a plurality of product items selected from the menu list, by associating the number of discount tickets, And a process of discounting.

It is a figure which shows the general view of a POS terminal. It is a figure which shows an example of the input screen of the collective discount process of several items. It is a flowchart which shows the flow of the collective discount process of several items.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  The product sales data processing apparatus according to the present embodiment can be applied to, for example, a POS system that handles a plurality of items (product items) and manages them in a menu list format.

The POS system includes a plurality of POS terminals each equipped with a scanner for reading a bar code of a product, a store server that functions as a host device thereof, and a printer server that controls a printer for printing various forms via a network. It is connected.
In a store where a POS system is constructed, a bar code (identification data) indicating various information related to the product is given to each product for each product to be sold. The barcode does not include product data indicating the price of the product. For this reason, a product master file in which price data is preset corresponding to product codes of various products is stored in the store server. The POS terminal extracts the product code from the barcode data read by the scanner, inquires the store server for the price data set corresponding to the product code, and settles the purchased product based on the acquired price data. At the same time, sales data indicating the sales record of the purchased product is generated and stored, thereby registering the sales of the purchased product. In addition, discounts are provided to promote various products.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of the POS terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the POS terminal 1 is placed on a drawer 2 for storing cash and controls the opening and closing of the drawer 2a of the drawer 2. The POS terminal 1 is provided with a keyboard 3 and a mode switch 4 and an operator display 5 is attached. A customer display 6 with a touch panel for displaying information for customers is attached to the back side. A printer 7 for printing receipts and journals is built in. Receipts printed by the printer 7 are issued from a receipt issuing port 8 formed on the front side of the POS terminal 1. As described above, the POS terminal 1 is connected to the scanner 9 for reading a barcode attached to a product or the like. The display 5 is preferably a touch panel display incorporating a human sensor so that an operator can perform touch-type operation input.

  The POS terminal 1 includes a microcomputer (not shown; hereinafter referred to as a microcomputer) as an information processing unit that executes information processing. The microcomputer stores a fixed data such as a program (not shown) in a CPU (not shown) that executes various arithmetic processes and controls each unit, and stores variable data in a rewritable manner. A RAM (not shown) used as a work area is connected by a bus.

  The drawer 2, the keyboard 3, the mode switch 4, the operator display 5, the customer display 6, and the printer 7 are all connected to the CPU of the POS terminal 1 through various input / output circuits. These are controlled by the CPU.

An HDD (not shown) is connected to the CPU of the POS terminal 11. The HDD stores programs and various files. All or a part of the programs and various files stored in the HDD are copied to the RAM and used when the POS terminal 1 is activated. An example of a program stored in the HDD is a product sales data processing program (not shown). An example of a file stored in the HDD is a product master file (not shown) distributed and stored from a store computer (not shown).
The product master file is a file that stores product information of a product specified by the product code in association with the “product code”. The “product code” is a JAN code that is a 13-digit number or an in-store code that is a 26-digit number. The product information includes “attribute”, “product name”, “unit price”, “value discount”, and “tax” for the product specified by the product code. “Attribute” is a product attribute of the product. For example, if the product is a product that is prohibited from being sold to minors, an attribute of “20 prohibited” is stored. “Product name” is the name of the product. “Unit price” is the unit price of the product. For example, numbers such as “180” and “150” are stored. The “value discount” is information on discount discount for the corresponding “unit price”. For example, when “10% discount” is stored as “value discount” corresponding to “unit price” which is “150 (yen)”, the actual unit price is 135 yen. “Tax” is information about whether or not the corresponding “unit price” is a domestic tax. If it is a domestic tax, “inside” is stored. In this case, the “unit price” is an amount including consumption tax.

  A communication interface (not shown) for executing data communication with the store computer is connected to the CPU of the POS terminal 1 via an input / output circuit (not shown). The store computer is installed in the backyard of the store. A product master file distributed to the POS terminal 1 is stored in the HDD (not shown) of the store computer.

  On the display 5 of the POS terminal 1, an input screen of the merchandise sales data processing apparatus according to the present embodiment is displayed.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen for batch discount processing of a plurality of items. As shown in FIG. 2, the input screen is composed of a plurality of areas. The input screen includes menu list area 21, discount ticket information area 22, selected discount ticket total area 23, numeric keypad area 24, number confirmation 25, number re-input 26, last correction 27, and confirmation 28. It consists of buttons.

  The menu list area 21 is an area for displaying the target product in a list format and inputting the number of discount tickets. In the menu code column, registered menu names are displayed together with codes. For each menu, a quantity field, an amount field, and a discount ticket number field are provided. In this example, one discount ticket of 105 yen is input for the menu B, and one discount ticket of 105 yen is input for the menu D.

  The discount ticket information area 22 is an area where the ticket type and unit price of the selected discount ticket are displayed, and the amount is automatically calculated according to the number of sheets input. In this example, two 105 yen discount tickets are displayed as 210 yen in total.

  The selected discount ticket total area 23 is an area in which the number of discount tickets entered in the menu list and the total amount are displayed. In this example, the total amount is displayed as 210 yen with two discount tickets.

  The numeric key area 24 is an area used when inputting the number of discount tickets.

  The number confirmation button 25 is a switch that is pressed when the number of discount tickets is confirmed. When this switch is pressed, the process proceeds to the discount ticket number input in the menu list.

  The number re-input button 26 is a switch to be pressed when correcting the number of discount tickets. When this switch is pressed, the process shifts from the menu list to the input of the number of discount tickets.

  The immediately preceding correction button 27 is a switch used when canceling discount registration.

  The confirmation button 28 is a switch used when confirming discount registration.

  Next, the flow of batch discount processing for a plurality of items will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when “item discount” is selected in the POS terminal 1 during product registration, the process proceeds to the “discount input screen” shown in FIG. 2 (step S301).

  Next, information on the selected discount ticket is displayed in the discount ticket information area 22, and a menu currently registered in the menu list area 21 is displayed (step S302).

  Subsequently, the number of the discount ticket information area 22 is input and the number determination button 25 is pressed (step S303). Thereby, the number of discount tickets is fixed, and the focus moves to the input of the number of discount tickets in the menu list area 21 (step S304).

  Next, it is checked whether or not the input of the number of sheets has been corrected (step S305). If correction is desired, the number input button 26 is pressed (step S306).

  Next, when the number of discount tickets is input in the menu list area 21, the number and amount of money are displayed in the selected discount ticket total area 23 (step S307).

  A check is made to see if the number of discount tickets in the menu list area 21 matches the number of input tickets in the discount ticket information area 22 (step S308). The discount is confirmed (step S309).

  After confirming the discount, the batch discount process is terminated and the normal registration screen is displayed again (step S310). An error occurs when the number of discount tickets in the menu list area 21 and the number of input tickets in the discount ticket information area 22 do not match.

  According to the present embodiment, since discount processing for a plurality of items can be performed at once, the operability is improved and the risk of an operation error is significantly reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the batch discount processing for a plurality of items has been described as being executed at the POS terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the processing can be performed on the store computer side.

  Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
