Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a portable product sales data processing device when an electronic cash register is used as a PO8 terminal device in a POS system or used alone. It is.

(Prior Art) Conventional electronic cash registers register sales data regarding all products by having an operator key-input data such as amount of money, department code, etc. of products purchased by a customer. However, when a store such as a supermarket becomes crowded, customers often have to wait for a long time to register at an electronic cash register. In order to simplify this registration process, a barcode is attached to the product in advance, and the barcode of the product is read with a barcode scanner.
An electronic currency register, which registers sales data, etc., has also been put into practical use.

This seven-child cash register using a barcode scanner reads the product name, unit price, department code, etc. from memory based on the barcode attached to the product, processes the registration process, and issues the registered data on receipts, etc. It was something.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, most of the electronic cash registers using barcode scanners described above are of a fixed type and cannot be used in a movable manner. Additionally, this electronic cash register requires installation work because it is a store control system that connects multiple electronic cash registers to a cash register computer in the store to manage each electronic cash register and all sales data. Furthermore, since the above-mentioned registration of product information in memory based on the barcode on the electronic cash register is only given unilaterally from a computer dedicated to the register, etc., in the case of a new product that is not registered on the electronic cash register, ,
Key operations were required each time, reducing work efficiency.

Therefore, the present invention was made to solve the problems in the conventional example as described above.Even if an unregistered product occurs, it can be automatically registered on the product sales data processing device side, and it can also be directly connected to a host computer. To provide a portable product sales data processing device which eliminates the need for store control and which is miniaturized and can be carried freely.

In addition, best-selling product information is stored in the product sales data processing device in advance.
To provide a portable product sales data processing device that improves work efficiency by reducing the work of registering unregistered products by registering order product information and perishable product information for each retail store.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A portable product sales data processing device according to the present invention registers product information such as price corresponding to a barcode, and issues a receipt by reading the barcode attached to the product. In this product sales data processing device, the product information corresponding to the barcode is registered using a determining means that reads the barcode and determines whether or not there is a master registration, and a discriminator that reads the barcode and determines whether or not there is a master registration. Portable product sales data characterized by being an automatic registration means having a reporting procedure for reporting and a registration procedure for registering product information corresponding to a barcode in a memory card based on key input of a unit price key and a department key. It resides in the processing device.

Further, the mask registration includes at least one of best selling product information registration, order product information registration for each retail store, and perishable product information registration.

(Function) According to the portable product sales data processing device of the present invention, the PO
Multiple terminals can be connected to a host computer as S system terminals, and product sales data can be set and managed on the host computer side.

Further, according to the portable product sales data processing device of the present invention, a barcode attached to a product is read, and whether or not the barcode is registered as a master is determined by a determination procedure, and if the barcode is not registered as a master, a notification procedure is performed. Reported. Therefore, in the case of an unregistered product without master registration, the product information corresponding to the barcode can be registered in the memory card through the registration procedure, improving the subsequent operability.

In addition, the above-mentioned master registration includes at least one item of best-selling product information, order product information for each retailer, and perishable product information, so automatic registration of unregistered products without master registration is reduced, improving work efficiency. It will improve.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a functional block diagram of the portable product sales data processing device of the present invention, in which (1) is a CPU that performs product registration processing and calculations, and (2) is a CPU that stores a startup program, etc. ROM, (3) is RAM in which product information etc. are stored;
(4) and (5) are a barcode scanner and barcode interface that read barcodes attached to products; (6)
) is a communication controller for transmitting product information and the like with the host computer (7) via a telephone line.

In addition, (8) and (9) are a display and a display interface for displaying product information such as prices, and (10)

4) and (15) indicate a memory card that stores special programs or data and its interface;
16) to (18) are clocks, buzzers, and batteries.

In the portable product sales data processing device having the above configuration, product information such as charges can be printed on the receipt based on the barcode read by the barcode scanner (4), and the receipt can be automatically issued. In addition, product information can be sent and received via a telephone line to and from the host computer (7), and in particular, sales data and management of stores equipped with this portable product sales data processing device can be carried out by the host computer (7). ) side, and based on this, product information can be registered individually from the host computer (7) side to the retail stores where the portable product sales data processing device is installed.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart explaining the automatic registration function provided in the portable product sales data processing device shown in FIG.
Even if unregistered products occur, they can be automatically registered.

That is, normally, product information corresponding to a barcode is registered in each portable product sales data processing device from the host computer side through a telephone line based on the product information automatic master registration system shown in FIG. This product information automatic master registration system, as shown in Figure 3,
First, storage processing (SAI) that stores PO8 information nationwide
After that, an extraction process (SA2) is performed to process the products in order of quantity, and a process (SA3') is performed to store the best-selling products in the order of their order information. In addition, we store classification names, etc. (SA4.5A5) so that customers can easily recognize JAN code information and receipts issued by the portable product sales data processing device.
Furthermore, if a retail store is an ordering user, after going through MM processing (SB) of the ordering product information sent from the retail store, including products that differ depending on each retailer, these are matched and coded. Setting process for product information such as name (SA6
) to automatically register the product ledger. In other words, information on SB can be registered as is, and product information other than SB can be registered on SB.
From A3, refer to SA4 and SA5 and register by department. At this time, the product name and department name are also set from SA4 and SA5 at the same time.

Then, perishable product information (e.g., unified codes obtained by converting vegetables such as radish and cabbage, fish and shellfish such as squid and horse mackerel into individual barcodes) by perishable product information accumulation processing (SC) is added to PO8 product aggregation processing. (The product information added in SDI> is set in the sending device in SB2 and transmitted to the designated terminal. In this way, about 20,000 product information is registered as is in the PoS terminal.

Here, if the retail store is an existing user and is a store that handles fresh food, the information from SR and SC is added to the product information matched by SA3 and SA4, and the portable product sales data processing device becomes a PoS terminal. Similarly, if the retail store is an existing user and does not sell fresh food, SA3. Information on SA4 and SB is added, and if the retail store is newly operating and sells fresh foods, information on SA3, SA4, and SC is added, and furthermore, if the retail store is newly operating and sells fresh foods, information on SA3, SA4, and SC is added. If there is no store, only the information matched by SA3 and SA4 is registered. Therefore, in the portable product sales data processing device of the present invention, if a barcode attached to a product is read using the barcode scanner (4), a receipt is issued by the printer (10). In the case of products, manual operation of keys was previously required.

In this embodiment, by storing the automatic registration function shown in FIG. 2 in, for example, RAM (3), it is possible to quickly and smoothly process unregistered products. That is, in FIGS. 1 to 4, first, a barcode attached to a product is read using a barcode scanner (4) (Sl). This reading result is used to determine whether or not it is a master registration by a product information automatic master registration system such as a host computer (7), and if it is a master registration, the receipt 10a on which charges and departmental sales details are printed is Automatically issued by the printer (10).

On the other hand, if the determination result by S2 is not master registration,
That is, if the product is an unregistered product, the buzzer (17) will sound (SB), allowing the seller to detect this.

However, at this time, the unit price key 1 on the keyboard (12)
2a and the department key 12b indicating the sales content by department such as fresh meat or meat (S4), the product information corresponding to the barcode of the unregistered product can be registered in the memory card (14) (S5). Receipt 10a can be issued (S6). Through these steps, unregistered products can also be automatically master registered in the portable product sales data processing device, and from next time onwards, the registration procedures from 83 to S5 can be performed. A receipt 10a is issued without any error.

The portable product sales data processing device configured in this way can be carried freely, so it can be used not only for in-store sales such as convenience stores, supermarkets, and various shops, but also for in-store sales, mobile sales, etc. Effective for outdoor sales at festivals, etc., and as a countermeasure against power outages.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is a portable product sales data processing device that allows an electronic cash register to be used directly as a PO8 terminal device in a POS system or used alone. This has the effect of eliminating the need for conventional store control and installation work. Further, according to the present invention, the bar code attached to the product is read to determine whether or not the product has been master registered by the host computer, and if the product is unregistered, the product is registered in the memory card of the cash register. An automatic registration function has been added to the product sales data processing device itself, so even if new unregistered products occur, receipts can be issued simply by reading barcodes without the need for cumbersome key operations, increasing work efficiency. This has the effect of improving the

Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the master registration includes at least one of best-selling product information, order product information for each retail store, and perishable product information, automatic registration of unregistered products without master registration is reduced. This has the effect of improving work efficiency.
