  The receipt information includes elements such as transaction date and time D7, transaction number (receipt number) D8, cash register number D9, person in charge name D10, and the like. The elements included in the receipt information are not limited to the example in FIG. 7, but are a company code (company name), a store code (store name), a store telephone number, an address, an industry type / business type code indicating the company that operates the store. Other elements may be included.

  Further, upon receipt of pressing of the closing key, the receipt information generation unit 111 determines that the merchandise sales data processing for one transaction has been completed, and outputs (issues) the generated receipt information together with the cut command to the receipt information output unit 112. To do. Here, the cut command is one of commonly used printer control commands, and is instruction information for instructing cutting (cutting) of paper on which receipt information is printed. Note that the receipt information may be generated in a lump as the closing key is pressed, or may be generated sequentially each time a product code or customer code is acquired.

  The receipt information output unit 112 determines an output destination of the receipt information every time the receipt information generation unit 111 generates receipt information for one transaction. More specifically, when the receipt information generation unit 111 issues a cut command, the receipt information output unit 112 determines that receipt information for one transaction has been generated. Then, the receipt information output unit 112 determines whether or not the member code is included in the generated receipt information, and outputs the receipt information to an output destination determined according to the determination result.

  Specifically, when the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the membership code is not included in the receipt information, the receipt information output unit 112 outputs the receipt information together with the cut command to the printer 13. As a result, after printing the receipt information on the paper, the printer 13 prints out the paper receipt for one transaction by cutting the paper according to the cut command. At the time of printout, all the elements constituting the receipt information may be printed, or the member code may be removed or other information such as an advertisement may be added.

  If the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the receipt information includes a member code, the receipt information output unit 112 converts the receipt information into a predetermined data format according to the conversion rule of the receipt information schema 17c. Then, the receipt information output unit 112 transmits (outputs) the receipt information obtained by converting the data format, that is, the electronic receipt information, to the electronic receipt server 3 managed in units of companies according to the company code.

  Here, FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of electronic receipt information. As shown in FIG. 8, the electronic receipt information is composed of structured format data (structured document) such as XML, CSV, JSON (JavaScript (registered trademark) Object Notation). FIG. 8 shows an example in which each element (D1 to D2, D7 to D10) of the receipt information shown in FIG. 7 is converted into the JSON format.

  Conversion from the receipt information to the electronic receipt information is performed based on a conversion rule described in the receipt information schema 17c. Specifically, the receipt information schema 17c defines predetermined elements constituting the receipt information and attribute information (tags or the like) indicating attributes of the elements. The receipt information output unit 112 generates electronic receipt information in a structured format as shown in FIG. 8 by structuring each element of the receipt information using corresponding attribute information. By using electronic receipt information in such a structured format, elements included in the electronic receipt information can be used efficiently, and various advantages can be obtained in data management.

In addition, the receipt information output unit 112 checks whether notification is necessary for a predetermined element constituting the receipt information when converting the receipt information to the electronic receipt information. Specific examples of checking whether notification is necessary for a predetermined element constituting receipt information include the following.
・ Expiration date of granted points expired ・ Purchase discount ・ Missing cashier

  For example, an operation error of the cashier is a case where the cashier mistakenly registers a large quantity of merchandise. The receipt information output unit 112 refers to the maximum number of purchases stored for each product in the product data file. If the registered quantity of products included in the electronic receipt information exceeds the maximum number of purchases, the cashier operation error Judge. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the actual purchased quantity is “1”, but the quantity is registered with “10” due to a cashier operation error, and the maximum purchase quantity is “5”. In this case, it is determined that a cashier operation error has occurred and notification is required.

  Further, the receipt information output unit 112 refers to the expiration date of the point stored in the point file, determines that the expiration date is close if the expiration date of the point associated with the member code is within one month, Assume that notification is necessary.

  Further, the receipt information output unit 112 refers to the sale information stored for each product in the product data file, and if the product included in the electronic receipt information is a sale, it is determined that the purchase is a discount purchase and notification is required. Suppose that

  When the check result of the predetermined element constituting the receipt information as described above is affirmative (when it is determined that notification is necessary), the receipt information output unit 112 is enabled for notification (for warning). Is added to the electronic receipt information. The activated notification (warning) flag X may be added in association with a predetermined element determined to be informed.

  Thus, the receipt information output unit 112 determines that receipt information for one transaction has been generated by issuing the cut command by the receipt information generation unit 111, and starts outputting the receipt information. Thereby, since there is no need to notify the receipt information output unit 112 of a dedicated signal for instructing the end of one transaction from the receipt information generation unit 111, the receipt information generation unit 111 corresponding to an existing application The receipt information output unit 112 can output the receipt information for one transaction without changing the above. Moreover, since the change part of the receipt information generation part 111 can be suppressed, the output function of electronic receipt information can be implement | achieved, diverting an existing application efficiently.

  Further, the receipt information output unit 112 determines an output destination of the receipt information according to whether or not the membership code is included in the receipt information. As a result, the paper receipt or the electronic receipt information can be output without preparing the paper receipt necessity information for each customer, so that the output destination of the receipt information can be determined efficiently. Further, for example, the customer (member) can select the output of the paper receipt or the electronic receipt information by inputting or not inputting the member code for each transaction, thereby improving the convenience of the customer. it can.

  Further, when outputting the receipt information to the electronic receipt server 3, the receipt information output unit 112 converts the elements included in the receipt information into structured electronic receipt information, and outputs the electronic receipt information. Thus, since the elements included in the electronic receipt information can be used efficiently, the electronic receipt server 3 and the electronic receipt management server 4 that manage the electronic receipt information, and the portable terminal that displays the electronic receipt information 7, the convenience of the electronic receipt information can be improved.

  On the other hand, when the receipt information generation unit 111 determines that the code symbol has been read (step S11; Yes), the receipt information generation unit 111 determines whether the information acquired by the reading is a product code or a member code (step S12).

  When the product code is acquired in step S12 (step S12; product code), the receipt information generation unit 111 reads the product data from the product data file for the product specified by the product code, and the product data includes the product data. A merchandise sales data process for calculating a settlement amount based on the unit price is executed (step S13). Next, the receipt information generation unit 111 generates receipt information including the product sales data processed during the product sales data processing (step S14).

  When the member code is acquired in step S12 (step S12; member code), the receipt information generation unit 111 generates receipt information including the member code (step S15).

  Here, in order to input the member code to the POS terminal 1, for example, a customer who is a member displays a code symbol including the member code on the display unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7, and the customer who is a clerk or a member himself / herself Read by the code scanner 15 of the POS terminal 1. Note that the receipt information generation unit 111 may perform an exclusive process or the like so that the member code input during one transaction is unique.

  In subsequent step S16, the receipt information generation unit 111 determines whether or not the start of the tightening process is instructed by pressing the tightening key or the like (step S16). When the start of the tightening process is not instructed (step S16; No), the process returns to step S11. When the start of the tightening process is instructed (step S16; Yes), the receipt information generation unit 111 issues (outputs) the cut command to the receipt information output unit 112 (step S17).

  Upon receipt of the cut command from the receipt information generation unit 111, the receipt information output unit 112 determines that receipt information for one transaction has been generated, and determines whether the receipt information includes a member code (step S18). ).

  When the receipt code does not include the member code (step S18; No), the receipt information output unit 112 outputs the receipt information for one transaction to the printer 13 together with the cut command, thereby printing out the receipt information ( Step S19), the process ends. As a result, after printing the receipt information on the paper, the printer 13 prints out the paper receipt for one transaction by cutting the paper according to the cut command.
