Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, a face-to-face POS terminal as a registration device will be described as an example. The face-to-face type is a type that adapts to a check-out form in which a store clerk acts as the main operator and registers and accounts for purchased products while facing the purchaser of the product.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a main circuit configuration of the POS terminal 10 according to the present embodiment.
The POS terminal 10 includes a processor 11, a main memory 12, an auxiliary storage device 13, a display device 14, an input device 15, a scanner 16, a printer 17, a communication interface 18, a transmission line 19, and the like.

In the POS terminal 10, the processor 11, the main memory 12, and the auxiliary storage device 13 are connected by a transmission line 19 to configure a computer that performs information processing for controlling the POS terminal 10.

The processor 11 corresponds to the central part of the computer. The processor 11 controls each part in order to realize various functions as the POS terminal 10 according to various information processing programs such as an operating system, firmware, and an application program.

The main memory 12 corresponds to the main storage portion of the computer. The main memory 12 includes a non-volatile memory area and a volatile memory area. The main memory 12 stores the above information processing program in the non-volatile memory area. Further, the main memory 12 may store data necessary for the processor 11 to execute a process for controlling each part in a non-volatile or volatile memory area. The main memory 12 uses the volatile memory area as a work area where data is appropriately rewritten by the processor 11.

The auxiliary storage device 13 corresponds to the auxiliary storage portion of the computer. The auxiliary storage device 13 is, for example, an EEPROM (electric erasable programmable read-only memory). HDD (hard disk drive), SSD (solid state drive), or various other well-known storage devices can be used. The auxiliary storage device 13 stores data used by the processor 11 for performing various processes and data generated by the processes of the processor 11. The auxiliary storage device 13 may store a part of the above information processing program. The auxiliary storage device 13 stores the product master database.

The display device 14 displays various screens for notifying the operator of various information. As the display device 14, a well-known device such as a liquid crystal display device can be applied.
The input device 15 inputs various instructions by the operator. As the input device 15, a well-known device such as a touch sensor or a keyboard can be applied alone or in combination. The operator is usually a clerk. A touch panel having both functions of the display device 14 and the input device 15 may be used.

The scanner 16 includes at least one of a handy scanner and a fixed scanner. The handy scanner is used by the operator while holding it in his hand, reads the barcode displayed on the product, and outputs the information represented by the barcode. The fixed scanner takes an image of the product held in front of the scanner window, identifies the barcode displayed on the product by image processing, and outputs the information represented by the barcode. It should be noted that the fixed scanner can also utilize other types of well-known devices that utilize the reflection of laser light to identify barcodes. The fixed scanner may have a function of identifying a product by using an object recognition technique based on the characteristics of the image of the product itself. Further, the scanner 16 may appropriately include any type of device other than the above, such as a device of a type that reads information wirelessly transmitted by an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag.

The printer 17 prints a receipt image on the receipt paper and issues a receipt.
The communication interface 18 performs data communication via the communication network 20. The communication network 20 is, for example, a LAN (local area network). However, the communication network 20 may use the Internet, VPN (virtual private network), LAN, public communication network, mobile communication network, dedicated line, etc. alone or in combination as appropriate. As the communication interface 18, for example, a well-known interface configured to perform a well-known process for data communication via a LAN can be used.
The transmission line 19 includes an address bus, a data bus, a control signal line, and the like, and transmits data and control signals transmitted and received between the connected parts.

The POS terminal 10 stores an information processing program describing information processing described later in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13. The information processing program may be stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13 when the hardware of the POS terminal 10 is transferred, or may be transferred separately from the above hardware. In the latter case, the information processing program is recorded on a removable recording medium such as a magnetic disk, magneto-optical disk, optical disk, semiconductor memory, etc., or transferred via the communication network 20. In the latter case, it is assumed that the information processing program is provided as an upgrade program and is used by replacing it with another information processing program of the same type already stored in the main memory 12.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a product master database stored in the auxiliary storage device 13. Note that FIG. 2 schematically shows what kind of information the product master database contains, and each information may differ from the actual information.
As shown in FIG. 2, the product master database describes various information for sales management such as a product code, a product name, or a unit price thereof for each of the products that can be registered for purchase on the POS terminal 10. It is a set of the data records DR1, DR2 ... The data records DR1, DR2 ... Include an age limit flag indicating whether or not the age limit is applied. In this embodiment, the age limit is limited to only one condition, "Purchase under 20 years old is prohibited". That is, the age limit flag is set to "0" when the age limit "prohibit purchase under 20 years old" is not applied, and is set to "1" when the age limit is applied.
However, the applicable age limit may be another condition such as "Purchasable only under 12 years old". The processor 11 transfers the product master database stored in the storage device or the like provided in the server capable of communicating via the communication network 20 to the auxiliary storage device 13 in, for example, the initial setting process after the power of the POS terminal 10 is turned on. Copy and save. However, the product master database does not have to be stored in the auxiliary storage device 13. In this case, the processor 11 will timely refer to the product master database stored in the storage device provided in the server.

Next, the operation of the POS terminal 10 configured as described above will be described. The contents of the various processes described below are examples, and various processes that can obtain similar results can be appropriately used.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of information processing by the processor 11.
When the POS terminal 10 is operating in the operation mode for registering and accounting for purchased products, the processor 11 executes the information processing shown in FIG. 3 according to the information processing program stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13. ..

As Act1, the processor 11 performs initialization processing such as clearing the product list. The product list is a list of purchased products related to one commercial transaction, and is stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13. The product list may be stored in a storage device existing outside the POS terminal 10, such as a storage device provided in a server capable of communicating via the communication network 20.
As Act2, the processor 11 waits for the designation of the purchased product.

The purchaser picks up the product to be purchased from the sales floor and takes it to the checkout corner. The clerk who is the operator of the POS terminal 10 performs a designated operation for designating the purchased product accordingly. The designation operation is an operation for causing the scanner 16 to read the barcode displayed on the purchased product, an operation for the input device 15 for designating the purchased product, and the like. If the purchased product is designated by such an operation, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act2 and proceeds to Act3.

As Act3, the processor 11 acquires the product code for the above-specified purchased product. Specifically, for example, when the product code is read from the barcode by the scanner 16, the product code is fetched from the scanner 16. Further, for example, when a button associated with a product is pressed on the input device 15, the product code associated with the button is read from, for example, the auxiliary storage device 13. In addition, the processor 11 may acquire the product code by the same processing as that performed by another existing POS terminal.

As Act 4, the processor 11 confirms whether or not the age limit is applied to the product identified by the acquired product code. Specifically, the processor 11 applies the age limit by checking the state of the age limit flag included in the same data record together with the above-acquired product code in the product master database stored in the auxiliary storage device 13. Confirm whether or not it will be done. Then, the processor 11 determines Yes if the age limit is applied, and proceeds to Act5.

In addition, a plurality of conditions may be selectively applied to each product. If a plurality of conditions are selectively applied to each product, information indicating which condition is applied is also described in the above data record. Then, the processor 11 also confirms which condition is applied as Act4 when the age limit is applied.

As Act 5, the processor 11 generates a notification screen, and the notification screen is displayed on the display device 14. The notification screen is a screen that notifies the operator that confirmation is required in order for the age limit to be applied to the product specified immediately before. The display form of the notification screen may be any of pop-up display, full-screen display, multi-window display arranged side by side on other screens, and the like.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a notification screen SC1 as an example.
The notification screen SC1 is an example as of May 10, 2019. The notification screen SC1 includes an icon IC1, a message ME1, and buttons BU1 and BU2. Icon IC1 indicates that the age limit is applied. The message ME1 indicates by a character string that the product cannot be sold if the purchaser's date of birth is after May 11, 1999 (Heisei 9). The processor 11 obtains the date of the day before 20 years before May 10, 2019, and generates a character string "May 11, 1999 (Heisei 09)" representing the date. The processor 11 refers to the calendar data stored in advance in the auxiliary storage device 13, for example, in order to obtain the date of the previous day 20 years ago. Further, the processor 11 sets the generated character string as the second line, "when confirming the identification card" on the first line, and "the subsequent ones are for minors" on the third line. Message ME1 is generated by arranging predetermined character strings for each. The button BU1 is a GUI (graphical user interface) for the operator to instruct the operator to cancel the registration of the product specified immediately before as a purchased product. The button BU2 is a GUI for the operator to instruct the operator to confirm the registration of the product specified immediately before as a purchased product.
If the message ME1 can be sold when the purchaser's date of birth is before May 11, 1999 (Heisei 9), the processor 11 is simply 20 years. The previous date can be obtained, and the calendar data can be omitted.

As described above, the notification screen SC1 notifies the range of the date of birth corresponding to the age limit. Thus, when the processor 11 executes information processing based on the information processing program, the computer having the processor 11 as a central portion functions as a notification means for performing such notification.

As Act6, the processor 11 confirms whether or not the confirmation instruction has been given. Then, the processor 11 determines No if the confirmation instruction is not given, and proceeds to Act7.
As Act7, the processor 11 confirms whether or not the cancellation instruction has been given. Then, the processor 11 determines No if the cancellation instruction is not given, and returns to Act6.
Thus, the processor 11 awaits a confirmation instruction or a cancellation instruction for Act6 and Act7.

The operator determines whether or not the purchaser falls under the age limit, if necessary, by checking an identification card or the like on which the purchaser's date of birth is stated. Then, if it is determined that the age limit does not apply, the operator performs an operation such as pressing the button BU2 on the input device 15 to instruct confirmation. Then, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act6 and proceeds to Act8. If the age limit is not applied to the product identified by the product code acquired by Act 3, the processor 11 determines No in Act 4, and proceeds to Act 8 without performing Act 5 and Act 6.

As Act8, the processor 11 updates the product list so as to include the product code acquired in Act3. Thus, when the processor 11 executes information processing based on the information processing program, the computer having the processor 11 as a central portion functions as a registration means for registering the product as a transaction target. After this, the processor 11 proceeds to Act9.

By the way, if it is determined that the age limit is met, the operator performs an operation such as pressing the button BU1 on the input device 15 to instruct the cancellation. Then, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act7, and proceeds to Act9 without performing Act8.

As Act9, the processor 11 generates a registration screen, and displays the registration screen on the display device 14. This ends the display of the notification screen. The registration screen is a screen for allowing the operator to confirm the result of the purchase registration of the product up to that point. The registration screen shows, for example, the contents of the product list at that time, the result of the latest product registration, the amount of the price for the registered product at that time, and the like. The content of this registration screen is arbitrary, and is appropriately determined by, for example, the designer of the POS terminal 10 or the creator of the information processing program. The registration screen may be, for example, a screen similar to that displayed on another existing POS terminal.

As Act 10, the processor 11 confirms whether or not the purchased product has been newly designated. Then, the processor 11 determines No if the corresponding designation is not made, and proceeds to Act 11.
As Act 11, the processor 11 confirms whether or not the closing of the purchase registration is instructed. Then, the processor 11 determines No if the corresponding instruction is not given, and returns to Act10.
Thus, the processor 11 waits for the Act 10 and the Act 11 to receive either a product designation or a closing instruction. If the product is specified, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act10, returns to Act3, and executes the subsequent processing in the same manner as described above. That is, the processor 11 executes Act3-Act9 with respect to the newly designated product.

If the processor 11 is determined to be Yes by Act6, the purchaser is not subject to the age limit, and if it is determined to be Yes by Act7, the purchaser is subject to the age limit. May be managed by, for example, the state of the flag. Then, when the processor 11 determines Yes in Act4 when executing Act3-Act9 for the second time or later, if the purchaser is not subject to the age limit, it determines Yes in Act6, and the target. If there is, it may be determined as Yes by Act7. In this case, the display of the notification screen in Act 5 may be omitted. In this way, when the purchaser intends to purchase multiple products subject to the age limit, the operator does not have to perform an operation for a confirmation instruction or a cancellation instruction each time the products are registered. ..

The operator appropriately performs an operation for specifying the product, and causes the purchaser to add the product code of all the products to be purchased to the product list. Then, when the purchase registration of all the products is completed, the operator gives a closing instruction as a predetermined operation on the input device 15. In response to this, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act11 and proceeds to Act12.

As Act 12, the processor 11 performs a settlement process for settlement of the price of the product registered for purchase. Specifically, the processor 11 calculates the total selling price of all the products identified by the product code included in the product list, and discounts the total as necessary to calculate the settlement amount. do. The processor 11 settles the above payment amount by a well-known process using cash, a credit card, a debit card, electronic money, points, or the like. The processor 11 drives the printer 17 and issues a receipt. Then, the processor 11 returns to Act1 when such accounting processing is completed. That is, the processor 11 shifts to a state of waiting for the start of processing related to the next new transaction.

As described above, according to the POS terminal 10, when the product designated for purchase registration is a product to which the age limit is applied, the range of the date of birth corresponding to the age limit is displayed on the notification screen. This makes it possible for the clerk who is the operator to easily determine whether or not the purchaser is of a purchaseable age based on the purchaser's date of birth.

Further, according to the POS terminal 10, when the product designated for purchase registration is a product to which the age limit is applied, the product is registered as a purchased product after waiting for a confirmation instruction. As a result, it is possible to prevent a product to which the age restriction is applied from being registered as a purchased product without undergoing age confirmation.

(Second embodiment)
In the second embodiment, a self-type POS terminal as a registration device will be described as an example. The self-type is a type that is applied to the check-out form in which the purchaser performs operations for registration and accounting of purchased products in principle.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the checkout system 100 and a main circuit configuration of the POS terminal 30. Of the elements shown in FIG. 3, the same elements shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The checkout system 100 is configured by enabling communication between the POS terminal 30 and the attendant terminal 40 via the communication network 20. Although a plurality of POS terminals 30 are typically included in the checkout system 100, only one is shown in FIG. Typically, one attendant terminal 40 is included in the checkout system 100. However, a plurality of attendant terminals 40 may be included in the checkout system 100.

The POS terminal 30 is self-contained, and has the same hardware components as the POS terminal 10. That is, the POS terminal 30 includes a processor 11, a main memory 12, an auxiliary storage device 13, a display device 14, an input device 15, a scanner 16, a printer 17, a communication interface 18, and a transmission line 19. However, the physical arrangement of these components may be the same for the POS terminal 10 and the POS terminal 30, but may be different. Further, both the POS terminal 10 and the POS terminal 30 may include a component different from the components shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, and the other component is the POS terminal 10 and the POS terminal 30. It may be different.

At least a part of the information processing program stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13 is different between the POS terminal 10 and the POS terminal 30. In the POS terminal 30, instead of the information processing program describing the information processing shown in FIG. 4, the information processing program describing the information processing described later is stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13.

The attendant terminal 40 acquires information on the operating status of the POS terminal 30 from the POS terminal 30 via the communication network 20, and displays a monitoring screen showing the operating status of the POS terminal 30 based on the information. The attendant terminal 40 is operated by a clerk (hereinafter referred to as an attendant) who has a role of monitoring the POS terminal 30. The attendant terminal 40 may acquire information on the operating status of the POS terminal 30 from a server (not shown) connected to the communication network 20.

Next, the operation of the POS terminal 30 in the checkout system 100 configured as described above will be described. The contents of the various processes described below are examples, and various processes that can obtain similar results can be appropriately used.

The purchaser picks up the product to be purchased from the sales floor and takes it to the checkout corner. Then, the purchaser operates the POS terminal 30 and performs a designation operation for designating the purchased product. The designation operation is an operation for causing the scanner 16 to read the barcode displayed on the purchased product, an operation for the input device 15 for designating the purchased product, and the like.

6 and 7 are flowcharts of information processing by the processor 11.
When the POS terminal 10 is operating in the operation mode for registering and accounting for purchased products, the processor 11 is an information processing program in which the information processing shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is stored in the main memory 12 or the auxiliary storage device 13. Execute according to. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the same processing as shown in FIG. 3 is designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The processor 11 executes Act1-Act3 in FIG. 6 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Then, the process proceeds from Act3 to Act8, and the product list is updated so as to include the product code acquired in Act3. Then, the processor 11 then executes Act9-Act11 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

When the processor 11 is in the standby state of Act10 and Act11, if it determines Yes in Act10 because a new product has been designated, the processor 11 returns to Act3 as in the first embodiment. Thereby, in the second embodiment, that is, in the second embodiment, the processor 11 purchases the specified product regardless of whether or not the age limit is applied to the product. Register as a product.

When the purchase registration of all the products is completed, the purchaser gives a closing instruction as a predetermined operation on the input device 15. In response to this, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act 11, and proceeds to Act 21 in FIG. 7.

As Act21, the processor 11 confirms whether or not there is a product to which the age limit is applied among the products identified by the product code included in the product list. The processor 11 may determine whether or not the age limit is applied to the product identified by the product code included in the product list in the same manner as in Act 4 in the first embodiment. Then, the processor 11 determines Yes if there is a product to which the age limit is applied, and proceeds to Act22.

As Act 22, the processor 11 displays a guide screen prepared in advance on the display device 14. The guidance screen is a screen that guides the purchaser to wait for a response by the clerk. The display form of the guidance screen may be any of pop-up display, full-screen display, multi-window display arranged side by side on other screens, and the like.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the guide screen SC2. The content of the guidance screen SC2 is an example, and the content is appropriately determined by, for example, the designer of the POS terminal 10 or the creator of the information processing program.

As Act 23, the processor 11 notifies the attendant terminal 40. Upon receiving this notification, the attendant terminal 40 performs a notification operation for notifying the attendant that the age of the purchaser who operates the POS terminal 30 needs to be confirmed. In response to this notification operation, the attendant moves to the installation location of the POS terminal 30 and confirms the age of the purchaser. Then, the attendant performs a predetermined operation for causing the POS terminal 30 to authenticate that the attendant is an attendant. This operation is, for example, to have the scanner 16 read a barcode representing the employee code displayed on the employee ID card.

As Act 24, the processor 11 waits for the attendant to be authenticated. Specifically, if the employee code is read by the scanner 16, the processor 11 authenticates as an attendant if the employee code is predetermined as that of the attendant. Then, the processor 11 determines Yes in this case, and proceeds to Act5.
Then, the processor 11 executes Act5-Act7 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

The attendant confirms the age of the purchaser while referring to the notification screen. Then, if the purchaser is subject to the age limit, the attendant gives a cancellation instruction and collects the product to which the age limit is applied. When the attendant gives a cancellation instruction, the processor 11 determines Yes in Act7 and proceeds to Act25.
As Act 25, the processor 11 updates the product list so as to delete all the product codes of the products to which the age limit is applied. Then, the processor 11 proceeds to Act12 after this.

On the other hand, the attendant performs a confirmation operation if the purchaser is not subject to the age limit. The processor 11 determines Yes in Act 6 in response to this, and proceeds to Act 12 without executing Act 25.
Similar to the first embodiment, the processor 11 executes accounting processing in Act 12, and then returns to Act 1 in FIG.

As described above, according to the POS terminal 30, when accounting for a transaction in which a product to which the age limit is applied is registered as a purchased product, a notification screen showing the range of the date of birth corresponding to the age limit is used as an attendant. Display against. This makes it possible for the attendant to easily determine whether or not the purchaser is of a purchaseable age based on the purchaser's date of birth.

Further, according to the POS terminal 30, even if the purchaser is subject to the age limit, all the products that the purchaser intends to purchase by once registering the purchase of the product to which the age limit is applied. It is possible to complete the purchase registration of. Then, since the products whose purchase is restricted are excluded from the purchased products according to the operation of the attendant, it is possible to prevent the corresponding products from being purchased by the purchaser.

This embodiment can be modified in various ways as follows.
The notification screens of the first and second embodiments show the range of birth dates subject to the age limit, but may represent the range of birth dates not subject to the age limit.

The first embodiment can be similarly implemented in a registration device in a semi-self-type POS system or a cache register.

In the second embodiment, the notification screen may be displayed on the attendant terminal 40 or the mobile information terminal possessed by the attendant.

In both the first and second embodiments, the products subject to purchase registration include foods and drinks provided at restaurants.

In order to settle the consideration for the provision of services, the registration device for registering the services to be provided can also be carried out in the same manner as in the first or second embodiment.
