Description

  The present invention relates to a point service processing apparatus used in a retail store where a point service system is introduced, and an accounting apparatus corresponding to the point service processing apparatus.

  In recent years, many retail stores have introduced a point service system for the purpose of keeping customers. In this system, registered point members receive issuance of points by purchasing merchandise at the store, and receive services from the store according to the accumulated points.

  As a service, a discount service is generally used in which points are converted into monetary amounts and discounted from the total amount of purchased products. Services such as saving and investing financial products using points are also proposed. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

  When a discount service is introduced at a retail store that has introduced a point service system, members tend to use the accumulated points at once. If many members use points together at the same time, the store will be burdened with not being able to earn income even if the product is sold. For this reason, there is a need for a mechanism in which members can dispense the accumulated points.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a mechanism that allows members to dispense points accumulated and reduce the burden on the store side.

According to one aspect of the present invention, possessed point storage means for storing points held by a customer, product input means for inputting a product identifier for identifying a product , and the product identifier associated with the product identifier of each product when the store trade name and price as a product data of the product are a further service Shipping the service is provided that the product is reflected in the price for the buyer of the product, indicating the service content The product data stored in association with the product identifier input by the product input means is acquired from a product database that stores service information and points necessary for providing the service information included in the product data . and product data acquisition means, the service information to the commodity data obtained by this product data acquiring means and the service information A determination means for determining whether or not the product identified by the product identifier input by the product input means is the service target product, depending on whether or not the necessary points are included. If the product is determined to be the service target product, the product name, price, service information of the product data acquired by the product data acquisition unit and the points necessary for providing the service information, and the content of the service information are The price information after being reflected is displayed on the display unit, and an input receiving means for receiving whether or not to receive the provision of the service information, and an input for receiving the provision of the service information by the input receiving means If accepted, from the necessary points acquired by the service information acquisition means and the possession points stored in the possession point storage means The remaining points of the chromatic point is the point service processing apparatus having a rest point calculation means for calculating.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of an embodiment according to the present invention. This system is built in a retail store such as a supermarket where a point service system is introduced. The system includes a store server 1 as a central part thereof. A POS (Point Of Sales) terminal 3, an access point 4, and a terminal rack controller 5 are connected to the store server 1 via a LAN (Local Area Network) 2.

The store server 1 manages the product database 11 and the member database 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the product database 11 stores product data such as a product name, a price, a discount amount, and necessary points in association with a product code as a product identifier for identifying each product. The discount amount is service information provided to the purchaser of the product specified by the associated product code. The necessary point is a point necessary for providing the service information. The discount amount and the necessary points are selectively set for the point discount target product. Here , the product database 11 functions as a service information storage unit.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the member database 12 stores at least holding points in association with a member number as a member identifier for identifying each point member. The retention points are points that are issued when a customer specified by a corresponding member number purchases a product at a store.

  The terminal rack controller 5 connects the member number input unit 6 and the terminal rack 7. The member number input unit 6 is used to input a member number assigned to a customer registered as a point member. For example, a card reader for reading a membership number from an IC card is applicable.

  The terminal rack 7 forms a plurality of terminal stands 8. One wireless communication terminal 9 is detachably placed on each terminal stand 8. In addition, a display unit 10 such as an LED is provided corresponding to each terminal stand 8 on a one-to-one basis.

  The wireless communication terminal 9 is an aspect of the point service processing apparatus according to the present invention, and its main configuration is shown in the block diagram of FIG. As shown in the figure, the wireless communication terminal 9 includes a portable main body having a CPU 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, a wireless unit 24, a scanner 25, a touch panel display 26, an interface 27, and a battery 28. The scanner 25 reads a product code such as a barcode attached to a product, and functions as a product input unit. The display 26 with a touch panel functions as an input unit and a display unit. A keyboard may be used as the input means instead of the touch panel display.

  The RAM 23 includes, as main memory areas, a purchase file 31 and a member data file 32 as shown in FIG. The purchase file 31 stores data of a product code, a product name, a unit price, a quantity, a discount amount, a necessary point, and an execution flag for each product purchased by the customer. The member data file 32 has storage areas for member numbers, holding points, used points, remaining points, and purchase amounts.

  The POS terminal 3 is an aspect of the accounting apparatus according to the present invention, and its main configuration is shown in the block diagram of FIG. As illustrated, the POS terminal 3 includes a CPU 41, a ROM 42, a RAM 43, a clock unit 44, a LAN controller 45, an interface 47 to which a cradle 46 is connected, a scanner 48, a keyboard 49, an operator display 50, and a customer display 51. And a printer 52. The cradle 46 functions as a docking station for the wireless communication terminal 9.

  In a retail store where this system is constructed, for example, a terminal rack 7 is installed at the entrance of the store. A wireless communication terminal 9 is placed on each terminal stand 8 of the terminal rack 7. When the wireless communication terminal 9 is placed on the terminal stand 8, it is electrically connected to the terminal rack controller 5 via the interface 27 and the battery 28 is charged.

  A member number input unit 6 is provided in the vicinity of the terminal rack 7. A customer (point member) who visits the store inputs his / her member number via the member number input unit 6. When the member number is input, the terminal rack controller 5 sends this member number to the store server 1 to inquire about member information. Upon receiving the inquiry, the store server 1 searches the member database 12 and calls the holding point of the member identified by the member number. Then, the member number and the holding point are returned to the terminal rack controller 5.

  The terminal rack controller 5 selects one wireless communication terminal 9 placed on one of the terminal stands 8. Then, the member number and the holding point received from the store server 1 are written in the member number area and holding point area of the member data file 32. In addition, the display unit 10 corresponding to the terminal table 8 on which the terminal 9 is placed blinks, for example.

  The member who has confirmed the blinking of the display unit 10 takes out the wireless communication terminal 9 from the terminal stand 8 corresponding to the display unit 10. The wireless communication terminal 9 taken out from the terminal stand 8 switches the driving power source to the battery 28. Thereafter, the wireless communication terminal 9 configures the program so that the CPU 21 operates in the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  That is, the CPU 21 clears the purchase file 31 as ST (step) 1. In ST2, the points in the holding point area are copied to the remaining point area of the member data file 32 (holding point storage means). Furthermore, the data of the use point area and the purchase amount area are set to “0”.

  Next, the CPU 21 waits for the scanning of the product code by the scanner 25 in ST3. When scanning is performed (YES in ST3), the CPU 21 creates a product information inquiry message including the product code as ST4. Then, this message is wirelessly transmitted to the store server 1 via the wireless unit 24.

  This message is transmitted to the store server 1 via any one of the access points 4. The store server 1 searches the product database 11 with the product code in the message, and reads product data such as the product name, price, discount amount, and necessary points of the product identified by the inquired product code. Then, this product data is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless communication terminal 9 as the inquiry source.

  This product data is transmitted to the inquiring wireless communication terminal 9 via any one of the access points 4. CPU21 which received merchandise data via the radio | wireless part 24 memorize | stores the merchandise information in the purchase file 31 as ST5 (service information acquisition means). At this time, it is determined whether or not product data of the same product code is already stored in the purchase file 31. If not stored, the product code, the price, the discount amount, and the necessary points that have been responded are stored as one record. The quantity of this record is “1”. The execution flag is “0”. On the other hand, when the product data of the same product code is already stored, the quantity of the record is increased by “1”.

  Next, CPU21 multiplies price and quantity for every record memorize | stored in the purchase file 31 as ST6, calculates | requires an amount of money, and calculates the total amount of money by adding up the amount of each record. Then, the total amount is overwritten in the purchase amount area of the member data file 32.

  Next, CPU21 judges whether the execution flag is set to the record of the purchase file 31 which memorize | stored the merchandise data acquired this time as ST7. If the product data acquired this time is already stored in the purchase file 31 and the service processing means described later is executed at the time of the previous storage, the execution flag is already set. In this case, the process proceeds to ST9 described later.

  When the execution flag is not set, the CPU 21 determines whether the product data acquired this time as ST8 is data of the point discount target product. When the record of the purchase file 31 storing the acquired product data includes the discount amount and the data of the necessary points, it is the data of the point discount target product, and when not included, it is not the data of the point discount target product.

  When it is not the data of the point discount target product (NO in ST8), the CPU 21 displays the purchase information screen 60 on the touch panel display 26 as ST9. An example of the purchase information screen 60 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the purchase information screen 60 displays the product name and price of the product data acquired this time. The remaining point area data in the member data file 32 is also displayed. Further, a YES button 61 and a NO button 62 are displayed together with a message for inquiring of the member whether or not to end shopping. The member who has confirmed the message touches the NO button 62 to continue shopping, and touches the YES button 61 to end shopping.

  On the other hand, if it is data of the point discount target product (YES in ST8), the CPU 21 determines between the remaining points stored in the member data file 32 as ST10 and the necessary points in the acquired product data. It is determined whether or not a predetermined relationship is established. The predetermined relationship is a relationship in which the customer can receive service information called point discount by comparing the remaining points with the necessary points. In the present embodiment, when the value obtained by adding an arbitrary adjustment value α to the remaining point is equal to or greater than the necessary point, it is determined that the predetermined relationship is established, and the value obtained by adding the arbitrary adjustment value α to the remaining point Is less than the necessary point, it is determined that the predetermined relationship is not established. Here, the adjustment value α is set to “0” in the operation in which the point discount can be received if the remaining points are more than the necessary points. Further, “−M” is set in the case of operation in which a point discount cannot be received unless a certain number M of remaining points are left. Furthermore, even if the remaining points do not reach the required points, “N” is set in the case of the operation of lending points from the store side up to a certain number N. The adjustment value α is appropriately set according to the store operating system.

  If the predetermined relationship is not established between the remaining points and the necessary points (NO in ST10), the CPU 21 proceeds to the process in ST9. That is, the purchase information screen 60 is displayed on the display 26 with a touch panel.

  On the other hand, when a predetermined relationship is established between the remaining points and the necessary points (YES in ST10), the CPU 21 displays a point use inquiry screen 70 on the display 26 with a touch panel as ST11. An example of the point use inquiry screen 70 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, on the point use inquiry screen 70, the product name and price of the product data acquired this time, the point that can be used, the necessary points, the discount amount, the remaining points, and the price after discount are displayed. Is displayed. In addition, a YES button 71 and a NO button 72 are displayed together with a message asking the member whether to use points. The member who has confirmed the message touches the NO button 72 when not using the point, and touches the YES button 71 when receiving the discount service using the point.

  After displaying the point use inquiry screen 70, the CPU 21 waits for either the YES button 71 or the NO button 72 to be touched in ST12 (input reception means). When the NO button 72 is touched (NO in ST12), a declaration that the discount service is not provided has been made, so the CPU 21 proceeds to the process of ST8. That is, the purchase information screen 60 is displayed on the display 26 with a touch panel.

  On the other hand, when the YES button 71 is touched (YES in ST12), a declaration that the discount service is provided has been made, so the CPU 21 purchases the product data acquired this time as ST13. The execution flag of the record of the file 31 is set to “1” (declaration storage means). In ST14, the necessary points of the record are added to the use point area of the member data file 32. Further, in ST15, the necessary points of the record are subtracted from the remaining point area of the member data file 32 (remaining point calculating means).

  The CPU 21 subtracts the discount amount of the record from the purchase amount area of the member data file 32 as ST16. Thereafter, the process proceeds to ST9, and the purchase information screen 60 is displayed on the display 26 with the touch panel. At this time, the price of the product data displayed on the purchase information screen 60 is a discounted price obtained by subtracting the discount amount.

  After displaying the purchase information screen 60, the CPU 21 waits for a touch operation of either the YES button 61 or the NO button 62 as ST17. When the NO button 62 is touched (NO in ST17), the CPU 21 proceeds to the process in ST3. That is, it waits for the next product code to be scanned. If the product code is scanned, the processes of ST4 to ST17 are executed again.

  On the other hand, when the YES button 61 is touched (YES in ST17), the CPU 21 waits for a read request command as ST18. If a read request command is received via the interface 27 (YES in ST18), the CPU 21 sends the data of the purchase file 31 together with the membership number and the holding point of the member data file 32 via the interface 27 as ST19. Transmit (output means). This is the end of the current processing procedure.

  As described above, when the member who takes out the wireless communication terminal 9 from the terminal rack 7 and carries it, the product code attached to the product is scanned by the scanner 25 when the product to be purchased is put in, for example, a shopping cart. , Perform temporary registration. Then, when the product is a point discount target and a predetermined relationship is established between the remaining points of the member and the necessary points of the target product, the point use inquiry screen 70 is displayed. Therefore, the member confirms the screen 70 and touches the YES button 71 when receiving the point discount service. Then, an execution flag is set in the record of the product temporarily registered in the purchase file 31. By setting the execution flag, the POS terminal 3 can provide service according to the service information of the record, that is, the discount amount. When the point discount service is not received, the NO button 72 is touched. The purchase information screen 60 is displayed by touching one of the buttons 71 and 72. When confirming the screen 60 and continuing shopping, the NO button 62 is touched. Then, the product code of the product to be purchased next is scanned by the scanner 25.

  When ending shopping, the member touches the YES button 61. Then, to pay for the purchased merchandise, the user goes to an accounting place and places the wireless communication terminal 9 in the cradle 46. When it is confirmed that the wireless communication terminal 9 is placed on the cradle 46, the cashier presses a member accounting key provided on the keyboard 49. Then, the POS terminal 3 configures a program so that the CPU 41 executes the membership accounting process according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  That is, the CPU 41 transmits a read request command via the interface 47 as ST21. Then, in ST22, it is determined whether or not the data has been successfully read. The read request command transmitted from the POS terminal 3 is given to the wireless communication terminal 9 placed in the cradle 46. As a result, the wireless communication terminal 9 returns the data of the purchase file 31, the membership number, and the retention point. If the data is successfully received (YES in ST22: purchased product information acquisition means), the CPU 41 The received data is temporarily stored in the work area of the RAM 43 (customer point storage means).

  Next, the CPU 41 initializes the counter n to “0” in ST23. Subsequently, the CPU 41 increments the counter n by “1” in ST24. Then, as ST25, n-th (n is the value of counter n) product data (product code, product name, price, quantity, discount amount, required point, execution flag) is acquired from the purchase file 31 stored in the work area. To do.

  If the nth product data can be acquired from the purchase file 31 (YES in ST26), the CPU 41 determines whether or not the execution flag of the product data is set in ST27. The execution flag is not set for the product data not subject to the point discount. In this case (NO in ST27), the CPU 41 calculates the price of the product by multiplying the price of the product data by the quantity in ST30 (purchase price calculation means). Then, as ST31, accounting data is created from the product code, product name, price, quantity of this product data, and the amount calculated in the process of ST30.

  On the other hand, the execution flag is set in the product data subject to the point discount, in which the member declares that he / she receives the discount service using the wireless communication terminal 9. In this case (YES in ST27), the CPU 41 multiplies the price of the product data by the quantity in ST28, and further subtracts the discount amount from the product, thereby calculating the discounted amount of the product (calculation of purchase amount). means). In ST29, the necessary points of the product data are subtracted from the stored points stored in the work area (point calculation means). Then, the process proceeds to the process of ST31, and accounting data is created from the product code, product name, price, quantity, and discount amount of the product data, and the discounted amount calculated in the process of ST28.

  When the accounting data is created from the nth product data in this way, the CPU 41 proceeds to the process of ST24. That is, the counter n is further incremented by “1”, the n-th product data is acquired from the purchase file 31, and the processes of ST27 to ST31 are executed again.

  If all the product data in the purchase file 31 are processed in ST27 to ST31 and the nth product data can no longer be acquired (NO in ST26), the CPU 41 sets the operator display 50 and ST32 as ST32. A list of accounting data is displayed on the customer display 51. Therefore, the cashier collates the displayed accounting data with the product purchased by the customer. If there is no difference, the cashier receives a payment and inputs a closing key corresponding to the payment method.

  If the close key of the keyboard 49 is input as ST33, the CPU 41 executes accounting processing such as sales registration of accounting data and change calculation as ST34. In ST35, the current issue point is calculated based on the purchase price. Then, the current issue point is added to the holding point stored in the work area as ST36. Thereafter, the CPU 41 drives the printer 52 to issue a receipt in ST37. On this receipt, in addition to the accounting data, the holding points and usage points in the work area are also printed. In step ST38, the CPU 41 transmits the member number and the holding point in the work area to the store server 1 via the LAN 2. This completes the accounting process for the member.

  The store server 1 rewrites the holding point corresponding to the corresponding member number in the member database 12 to the received point according to the member number and holding point data received from the POS terminal 3.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, each time a member who uses the wireless communication terminal 9 temporarily registers the product to be purchased in the wireless communication terminal 9, he / she uses a part of the points accumulated so far. You can receive price discount service. In this case, the products that can receive the discount service are a part of the products handled in the store, and the discount service cannot be received for all products that the customer purchases. Therefore, since the members will dispense the accumulated points, it is possible to reduce the burden on the store side that many members use the points at the same time and cannot earn income even if the products are sold. .

  In addition, in the present embodiment, every time a product purchased by a member is provisionally registered in the wireless communication terminal 9, it is selected whether or not to receive a point discount, and the POS terminal 3 automatically selects according to the selection result. Discount processing is performed. Therefore, the burden on the cashier who performs accounting work does not increase, and there is no inconvenience that accounting takes time, which is practical.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the store can determine a discount rate for each product, for example, a discount rate larger than usual can be set for a product provided to a customer with a discarded value such as a feature product. . In such a case, the customer feels more profitable and the customer can easily use the points. Moreover, since it is a product that can be sold at abandoned value for the store, there are few disadvantages.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment as it is. For example, the data of the purchase file 31 may be transmitted from the wireless communication terminal 9 to the POS terminal 3 via the store server 1. In this case, the store server 1 stores the data of the purchase file 31 in association with the member number received together with this data. Since the POS terminal 3 is usually provided with a member number input means such as a card reader, the POS terminal 3 makes an inquiry to the store server 1 using the input member number as a search key, and the purchase has been answered. Member accounting processing is executed using the file 31. By adopting such a configuration, the cradle 46 can be omitted from the POS terminal 3.

  Further, the type of service information provided to the purchaser of the product is not limited to discounts. For example, it may be a free gift or donation. Also, a plurality of types of discount information may be set for one product, and the discount information with the largest discount rate may be selected in accordance with the conditions.

  Further, the processing of FIG. 7 executed by the wireless communication terminal 9 can be executed by the POS terminal 3. That is, the POS terminal 3 can also function as the point service processing device of the present invention. Alternatively, the wireless communication terminal 9 may be provided with a settlement function so that the wireless communication terminal 9 can perform the accounting process as it is based on the data of the purchase file 31.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when transmitting the data of the purchase file 31 in the process of ST19 in FIG. 7, a configuration is adopted in which the holding points that are the holding points before the purchase of the customer are also transmitted. The member data file 32 is provided with a remaining point area, and a step of copying the points in the holding point area is required. However, the holding points which are the holding points before the shopping of the customer from whom the POS terminal 3 came to the account from the store server 1 are stored. By adopting the acquisition configuration, the holding point area can be used as the remaining point area. Therefore, the step of copying the points in the holding point area to the remaining point area can be omitted. In this case, the retained point area of the member data file 32 functions as retained point storage means.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the main body shape of the radio | wireless communication terminal 9 which functions as a point service processing apparatus was made portable, and the customer scanned the product code with the hand, it can be attached to a shopping cart and carried. In this way, the customer may be able to scan the product code without having it in hand.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the case has been described in which a program for carrying out the invention is recorded in advance in the POS terminal 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a similar program may be downloaded from the network to the POS terminal 3. Then, the same program stored in the recording medium may be installed in the POS terminal 3. The recording medium may be any form as long as the recording medium can store the program and can be read by the apparatus, such as a CD-ROM. In addition, the function obtained by installing or downloading in advance may be realized in cooperation with an OS (operating system) inside the apparatus.
