Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the input operability of a specific code for a system whose application is started with a sign-on operation by displaying the input digit number of the specific code to be fed. CONSTITUTION:In an application mode a responsible person's code (specific code) serving as a secret code is first fed by a key. This code is successively stored in a buffer register 35, and at the same time the number of input digits is counted by a register counter 36 and displayed numerically at the 1st digit of a numerical display device 32. Thus it is possible to feed the responsible person's code while confirming the input digit number of the code. As a result, the so far input digit number is always understood during the input of code. This improves the input operability of a specific code.

Various keys such as a subtotal key 30 and a deposit/cash total key 31 are provided. As shown in FIG.
A digit numerical display 32 and a status display element 33 for displaying various statuses such as registration, subtotal, totalization, error, etc. are provided.

The file memory 6 is provided with a record for each product, including a unit price with a PL[J code attached, product name, department code, number of sales items, cumulative sales amount, etc. The transmission control between each POS terminal 1.2.3 and the file controller 5 during registration work is carried out as follows. In other words, on the POS terminal, press number key 26 and P.
When the PLU code 7 is input using the LO key 28, the file controller 5 sequentially outputs the data of the corresponding record from the file memory 6 based on the PLU code, and
Transmission to the OS terminal ◎This 5 The POS terminal performs various controls such as display, printing, arithmetic processing, etc., updates the input data on the number of sales items and sales amount, and sends it back to the file controller 5. The file controller 5 files the updated data in the corresponding record.

In this flexible POS system, each POS terminal 1, 2.3 is particularly equipped with the configuration shown in FIG. That is, a code preset register 34 in which a 6-digit responsible person code that is a specific secret code is preset in the RAM 12, a numeric buffer register 35, a numeric counter 36 that counts the number of digits input to the numeric buffer register 35, and A sign-on determination flag 37 is provided. Also, when the person-in-charge key 29 is input to the microprocessor 7, the contents of the code preset register 34 and the contents of the number/sofa register 35 are compared;
When the two match, the sign-on determination flag 37f is set, and when they do not match, the comparing means 38 performs an error determination, and when the sign-on determination flag 31 is in a reset state, the display control circuit 18 and displays the count contents in the first digit of the numerical display 32 in the display 25. That is, the microprocessor 7 performs the sign-on process shown in FIG. When the start is started, it is first checked whether the control switch 23 is set to registration, and if the setting is other than registration, the process moves to another business processing routine. If it is registered, then it is checked whether the sign-on determination flag 37 has been reset, and if it is set, it is determined that the sign-on has already been performed and the process moves to another routine. Further, if the flag 37 is reset, the input of the numeric key 26 and the contents of the numeric counter 36 are sequentially checked, and if the numeric counter 36 is zero and there is an input of the numeric key 26, the numeric buffer register 35 is cleared and the position counter 36 is counted up by one. Further, when the number key 26 is input while the number counter 36 is in a counting state, the number counter 36 is incremented by one. After the count up control of the numeric counter 36 is completed, the numeric value input to the numeric register 35 is stored, and the first digit of the numeric display 32 is stored based on the count value of the numeric counter 36. Display the number of input digits.

When the responsible person key 29 is pressed instead of the numeric key 26, the contents of the code preset register 34 and the numeric buffer register 35 are compared. If the i contents do not match, error processing is performed and subsequent key input is prohibited, and if they match, the sign-on determination flag 37 is set, and the printer drive circuit 22 is controlled to cause the printer 21 to sign on. Print it out and allow subsequent key manpower.

In the embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, at the beginning of use, first the person in charge code, which is a secret code, is entered manually. At this time, the key input code is
7 are sequentially stored in the register 35, and the number of input digits is counted by the digit counter 36 and displayed on the numerical display 3.
The number is displayed in the first digit of 2. In this way, the person in charge code can be entered while checking the number of digits entered into the code, and therefore there is no chance of losing track of the number of digits that have been entered into the code input terminal, making code entry easier. can be improved. The key input of the responsible person code is determined by the key input of the responsible person key 29, and the inputted responsible person code is compared with the contents of the code preset register 34. If both codes match, the sign-on determination 7 lag 37 is set, and after that, it becomes possible to register product sales data by inputting the pLU code. Furthermore, if the two codes do not match, it is determined as an error, and product sales data registration processing is prohibited until the correct person in charge code is input.

In the above embodiment, the number of input digits is displayed numerically using the first digit of the numerical display, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, each code input is performed from the lower digit of the numerical display. The number of input digits t may be displayed by sequentially displaying zero etc.
