FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the configuration of the management system 1 in the present embodiment. The management system 1 is used in stores such as restaurants, supermarkets, and commercial facilities, for example. As shown in this figure, the management system 1 includes a POS terminal 10 and identification tags 20-1, 20-2, 20-3. In the following description, when the identification tags 20-1, 20-2, and 20-3 are not particularly distinguished, they are described as the identification tag 20. The POS terminal 10 and the identification tag 20 perform non-contact (wireless) communication with a communication distance of about several meters.

The configuration of the management system 1 shown in the figure is an example. For example, the management system 1 may be configured to include two or more POS terminals 10, or may include two or less or four or more identification tags 20.

The identification tag 20 is an RFID (Radio Frequency IDdentifier) tag in the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band possessed by each operator who operates the POS terminal 10. The identification tag 20 may be provided on, for example, a name tag that the operator attaches to clothes around the chest. The identification tag 20 stores identification information that identifies the corresponding operator. The identification tag 20 transmits the identification information stored by itself to the POS register 20 which is the communication partner.

The POS terminal 10 is a device for registering and paying for a customer's purchased product at a store. The POS terminal 10 executes a process related to login or logout of an operator specified by the identification information received from the identification tag 20 according to the communication state with the identification tag 20. Details of the login or logout process will be described later.

Hereinafter, the POS terminal 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is an external configuration diagram showing an external example of the POS terminal 10 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 (A) is a front view, and FIG. 2 (B) is a perspective view. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration example of the POS terminal 10 according to the present embodiment.

The POS terminal 10 includes a CPU 101, a ROM 102, a RAM 103, a scanner unit 104, a clerk display unit 105, a customer display unit 106, a hard disk 107, a key operation unit 108, a weighing unit 109, and a printing unit. The 110 and the short-range communication unit 112 are provided. These are connected to each other via bus 119.

By executing the program, the CPU 101 executes various processes for realizing the function as the POS terminal 10.
The ROM 102 stores various information. For example, a program executed by the CPU 101 is stored. Further, the ROM 102 stores information (screen information, message information, etc.) related to the display by the store clerk display unit 105 and the customer display unit 106. Further, the ROM 102 stores a device number (device identifier) for identifying the own device. Further, the ROM 102 may store information (print contents, print format information, etc.) related to printing by the printing unit 110.
The RAM 103 is used as a work area for the CPU 101 to execute processing and calculation.

The scanner unit 104 optically reads the coded information. For example, the scanner unit 104 is installed at a position that is difficult for the customer to see.

The clerk display unit 105 is arranged toward the operator (clerk) side. The clerk display unit 105 is configured as a touch panel, and accepts an operation by touching the displayed operation screen with an operating body such as a finger.

The customer display unit 106 is arranged toward the customer side and displays for the customer. The customer display unit 106 may be configured as a touch panel so that the customer can operate the display unit 106.

The hard disk 107 stores various information required for the POS terminal 10 as an auxiliary storage device of the CPU 101. The hard disk 107 may store, for example, a product file or the like. The hard disk 107 may store a program for causing the CPU 101 to execute a registration process or the like. Further, the hard disk 107 may store various information generated by executing the program. Further, the hard disk 107 may store information related to display by the store clerk display unit 105 and customer display unit 106, and information related to printing by the printing unit 110. An SSD (Solid State Drive) may be provided instead of the hard disk 107.

The key operation unit 108 includes various operation keys (number key, cancel key, tare key, additional key, product number key, execution key, etc.) for receiving various operations from the operator.

The weighing unit 109 weighs the product or the like (the product and the tare containing the product) placed on the scale, and outputs data indicating the measured value to the CPU 101. The CPU 101, which has acquired the measured value from the measuring unit 109, subtracts a predetermined weight (weight of the tare) from the measured value to calculate the product placed on the scale. Further, the CPU 101 temporarily stores the weight of the product calculated as described above in the RAM 103, and displays the weight on the display unit (clerk display unit 105, customer display unit 106).

The printing unit 110 prints (prints) on a recording medium and issues (outputs) from the issuing port. For example, the printing unit 110 can issue a label to be attached to a product.

The short-range communication unit 112 performs non-contact short-range communication with the identification tag 20. The short-range communication unit 112 constitutes a detection means that non-contactly detects that the identification information stored in the identification tag 20 is within the reading range by receiving the identification information from the identification tag 20 that is communicating.

Next, the display screen displayed by the clerk display unit 105 of the POS terminal 10 will be described. FIG. 4 is an image diagram showing an example of the pre-login screen 300 displayed by the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. The login pre-login screen 300 is a screen displayed after the logout process. As shown in the figure, icons 301-1 to 301-6 indicating each operator are displayed on the pre-login screen 300. When the icons 301-1 to 301-6 are not particularly distinguished, they are described as icons 301. When any one of the icons 301 displayed on the pre-login screen 300 accepts the selection input, the POS terminal 10 displays the password input screen 400.

FIG. 5 is an image diagram showing an example of the password input screen 400 displayed by the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the password input screen 400 displays a box and a numeric keypad for inputting a password. The POS terminal 10 accepts the password input on the password input screen 400. The POS terminal 10 authenticates based on the password entered on the password input screen 400, and when the authentication is OK, executes the login process of the operator indicated by the icon 301 selected on the pre-login screen 300. Then, the POS terminal 10 displays the screen 500 after logging in.

FIG. 6 is an image diagram showing an example of the post-login screen 500 displayed by the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. The post-login screen 500 is a screen displayed after the login process. As shown in the figure, the logout button 501 for logging out and the logged-in operator "part-time job" 502 are displayed on the screen 500 after login. Further, on the screen 500 after login, various icons for operating the POS terminal 10 (for example, icons indicating each menu) are displayed. Further, the icons displayed or available on the screen 500 after login differ depending on the authority to log in.

Subsequently, a method of logging in to the POS terminal 10 in the management system 1 will be described. First, a manual login in which the icon 301 displayed on the pre-login screen 300 is selected and the password is entered on the password input screen 400 to log in will be described. When no one is logged in, the CPU 101 of the POS terminal 10 displays the pre-login screen 300 on the clerk display unit 105. Then, when any one of the icons 301 displayed on the pre-login screen 300 accepts the selection input, the CPU 101 displays the password input screen 400. Then, the CPU 101 considers the authentication OK if the password entered on the password input screen 400 belongs to the operator indicated by the icon 301 selected on the pre-login screen 300, and NG if not. .. When the authentication is OK, the CPU 101 executes the login process of the operator indicated by the selected icon 301, and displays the screen 500 on the clerk display unit 105 after logging in.

Subsequently, the automatic login that automatically performs the login process of the operator based on the identification information using the identification tag 20 will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of logging in to the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. When no one is logged in, the CPU 101 of the POS terminal 10 displays the pre-login screen 300 on the clerk display unit 105. Then, when the short-range communication unit 112 continues to detect only one identification information for a predetermined set time (for example, 2 seconds) or longer, the CPU 101 (login means) identifies an operator (illustrated). In the example, the login process of "part-time job") is executed, and the screen 500 is displayed on the clerk display unit 105 after login. As a result, the operator can automatically log in to the POS terminal 10 simply by approaching the POS terminal 10. Therefore, the trouble of entering the password for logging in can be saved, and the convenience of the operator is improved.

Subsequently, a login method when the POS terminal 10 detects a plurality of identification information at the same time will be described. FIG. 8 is an image diagram showing an example of the pre-login screen 300 displayed by the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. This figure shows a display example when the short-range communication unit 112 detects a plurality of identification information.

When the short-range communication unit 112 simultaneously detects a plurality of identification information, the CPU 101 (display means) of the POS terminal 10 presses the buttons 310-1 to 10-3 corresponding to each of the detected plurality of identification information before logging in. It is displayed on the screen 300 so as to be selectable. The names of the corresponding operators are displayed on the buttons 310-1 to 10-3. In the illustrated example, "part-time job" is displayed on the button 310-1, "clerk 3" is displayed on the button 310-2, and "clerk 1" is displayed on the button 310-3. When the buttons 310-1 to 10-3 are not particularly distinguished, they are described as the buttons 310. When displaying the buttons 310 of a plurality of people, the CPU 101 may display the buttons 310 in order from the operator with the strongest authority, or display the buttons 310 in the order of strong radio field strength (near, far). May be good.

The operator who logs in selects the button 310 on which his / her name is displayed. When any one of the displayed buttons 310 accepts the selection input, the CPU 101 executes the login process of the operator corresponding to the button 310 that has received the selection input, and displays the screen 500 on the clerk display unit 105 after login. ..

In this way, when a plurality of operators are nearby, the CPU 101 can selectably display the button 310 corresponding to each operator, and executes the login process of the operator corresponding to the selected button 310. To do. That is, when the CPU 101 (first prohibition means) detects a plurality of identification information, the CPU 101 prohibits the login process by automatic login. This makes it possible to prevent a plurality of operators from logging in at the same time. That is, only one operator can log in. Further, even when a plurality of operators are near the POS terminal 10, the operator can log in by simply selecting the button 310, which saves the trouble of entering a password and improves convenience. ..

Subsequently, a logout method from the POS terminal 10 in the management system 1 will be described. First, an automatic logout that automatically performs an operator logout process based on the identification information using the identification tag 20 will be described. The CPU 101 (first logout means) of the POS terminal 10 has not received an operation input for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) or more, and has detected (logged-in operator) identification information is detected. When this is not done, the logout process of the operator corresponding to the identification information is executed, and the login pre-login screen 300 is displayed on the clerk display unit 105. As a result, the operator can automatically log out from the POS terminal 10 simply by leaving the POS terminal 10. Therefore, the trouble of pressing the logout button 501 can be saved, and the convenience of the operator is improved.

Subsequently, a manual logout for logging out by pressing the logout button 501 displayed on the screen 500 after login will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a logout method from the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. In the CPU 101 (second logout means) of the POS terminal 10, even if the identification information of the logged-in operator (“part-time job” in the illustrated example) is still detected, the logout button 501 is displayed on the screen 500 after login. When the input is received, the logout process of the operator is executed, and the login pre-login screen 300 is displayed on the clerk display unit 105.

After the logout process by manual logout, the CPU 101 (second prohibition means) of the operator even if the identification information of the operator who performed the logout process continues to be detected for a set time or longer. Do not execute automatic login (prohibit login processing by automatic login). If the CPU 101 continues to detect the identification information of the operator for a set time or longer after the logout process by manual logout, the CPU 101 displays the icon 310 corresponding to the operator on the pre-login screen 300. Then, when the displayed icon 310 accepts the input, the CPU 101 executes the login process of the operator. That is, when the POS terminal 10 logs out by manual logout, the POS terminal 10 prohibits the automatic login of the operator who logged out immediately before. As a result, it is possible to prevent an operator who has manually logged out from automatically logging in again due to being near the POS terminal 10.

Subsequently, the operation when the operator of the POS terminal 10 is changed will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a method of changing an operator who logs in to the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. The CPU 101 (alternate means) of the POS terminal 10 corresponds to another operator whose identification information is different from the identification information logged out by the short-range communication unit 112 when the logged-in operator logs out by manual logout or automatic logout. If the identification information to be detected continues to be detected for a set time or longer, the login process of the other operator is executed by automatic logout (replacement process). In the illustrated example, the logged-in part-time job leaves the POS terminal 10 and automatically logs out, and the clerk 1 approaches the POS terminal 10 and automatically logs in.

In this way, when the operator changes, the first logout process and the second login process are executed substantially at the same time. Therefore, the CPU 101 (display means) continues to maintain the display of the post-login screen 500 without returning to the pre-login screen 300 when the replacement process is performed. That is, since the login person can be switched without returning to the pre-login screen 300, unnecessary screen transitions can be eliminated and a quick change is realized. Further, when the CPU 101 (display means) performs the change processing, the operator is changed by blinking the bar 510 displayed on the screen 500 after login in red (the change process has been performed). Is notified. As a result, the operator can know that the logged-in operator has changed. In addition, for example, when the clerk 1 is in the process of changing from the clerk 1 to the clerk 2, if the clerk 1 has registered the product halfway, the CPU 101 notifies an error such as "There is a product in the process of registration". , The change may be prohibited. Further, the CPU 101 may execute a process of handing over the product registered by the clerk 1 to the clerk 2 by inputting that the error is accepted.

Next, login after the store closing process will be described. Normally, the POS terminal 10 executes the store closing process when the store is closed. After the store closing process, the POS terminal 10 is not operated until the store opening process (start of use the next day). This is because it is possible to aggregate the sales for each business day by dividing the business hours by the opening process and the closing process. Therefore, if the login process is executed after the store closing process, the login process will be the store opening process, which may hinder the correct sales aggregation. In order to prevent this, the CPU 101 (prohibition means) of the POS terminal 10 prohibits automatic login after a predetermined operation for closing the store. As a result, it is possible to prevent the store opening process from being executed by mistake. That is, the CPU 101 does not execute the login process by automatic login even when the short-range communication unit 112 detects the identification information after the predetermined operation for closing the store. That is, the CPU 101 executes only the login process by manual login after the predetermined operation for closing the store.

Subsequently, the operation of the management system 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure of the login determination process executed by the POS terminal 10 in the present embodiment. The POS terminal 10 executes the process shown in this figure when the operator is not logged in, that is, when the pre-login screen 300 is displayed.

As described above, the management system 1 of the present embodiment includes the POS terminal 10 and the identification tag 20. The identification tag 20 includes a storage means for storing identification information for identifying an operator, and a transmission means for transmitting the identification information stored by the storage means by non-contact communication. The POS terminal 10 operates based on the identification information and the short-range communication unit 112 that non-contactly detects that the identification information is within the reading range by receiving the identification information from the identification tag 20 by non-contact communication. The login means for performing the login process of the person, the first logout means for performing the logout process of the operator when the identification information of the logged-in operator is no longer detected, and the operator with the identification information of the logged-in operator detected. A second logout means for performing the logout process of the above is provided.

According to the above configuration, by providing a plurality of login / logout methods, it is possible to improve convenience while maintaining security even when used by a plurality of people.

Further, the POS terminal 10 includes a first prohibition means for prohibiting the login process by the login means when the short-range communication unit 112 detects a plurality of identification information. As a result, it is possible to prevent a plurality of operators from logging in at the same time and to log in to one operator. Further, when there are a plurality of operators near the POS terminal 10, it is possible to prevent an operator who does not operate the POS terminal 10 from accidentally logging in.

After the logout process by the second logout means, a second prohibition means for prohibiting the login process by the login means of the operator who performed the logout process is provided. As a result, it is possible to prevent an operator who has manually logged out from being automatically logged in again because he / she is near the POS terminal 10.

The prohibition means prohibits the login process by the login means at the time of a predetermined operation related to the store closing process. As a result, it is possible to prevent the operator from automatically logging in because he / she is near the POS terminal 10 after the store closing process. That is, it is possible to prevent the store opening process from being erroneously executed.

When the POS terminal 10 detects other identification information different from the identification information to be logged out by the short-range communication unit 112 during the logout process, the login means identifies the operator who identifies the other identification information. It is equipped with a replacement means for logging in. As a result, the operator who logs in can be automatically changed.

A display means for displaying a pre-login screen 300 displayed after the logout process and a post-login screen 500 displayed after the login process is provided, and the display means indicates that the change process has been performed on the post-login screen 500. It is characterized by displaying. As a result, the operator can know that the logged-in operator has changed.

The display means maintains the screen 500 after logging in during the replacement process. As a result, it is possible to prevent the screen from returning to the pre-login screen 300 during the replacement process.

When the short-range communication unit 112 detects a plurality of identification information, the display means displays a button 310 indicating the plurality of identification information on the pre-login screen 300 so as to be selectable. As a result, even when a plurality of operators are near the POS terminal 10, it is possible to log in by selecting the button 310, so that the trouble of entering the password can be saved.

Further, since the RFID in the UHF band is used, data can be read and written in a non-contact manner. Also, multiple tag data can be read at the same time. In addition, since individual identification information is set in the identification tag, it is excellent in security. Further, the transmission distance can be set from several cm to several m. In addition, it is possible to give directivity to the reader.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and includes designs and the like within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case of logging in and logging out to the POS terminal 10 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the device for logging in and logging out may be another device as long as it is used by a plurality of people. ..
