It is achieved by an interface control unit 80 for relaying the bar code reader 90 and the barcode reader 90 and the central processing unit 10 receiving the bar code information.

2 is a key configuration diagram of a key input unit 20 for implementing a personal information input method of a cash register according to the present invention. In practice, the arrangement and number of functions (functions) of the key input unit 20 are changed according to the height and convenience of use. Or will be added or subtracted. As shown in FIG. 2, the key configuration of the key input unit 20 to which the present invention can be applied is the mode switch 21 used to designate a desired operation mode among various operation modes of the ECR, and the amount or correspondence of various items. Numeric key group (27) used to input the numeric code, etc., item key group (25) used to specify the desired item, and function key group used to execute the desired function among various functions provided in the ECR. It can be divided into (23).

In addition, the aforementioned function key group 23 includes a 'personal information management' key 23a, an 'input key' 23b, a 'correction' key 23c, and a 'search' key 23d, which will be described later. Can be configured.

On the other hand, the operation modes of the ECR system having the above-described configuration include a program mode which is a mode used to change the program contents of various files and tables used in the ECR, and a registration mode that registers and processes various transaction information generated at the point of sale. In addition, there are check mode, settlement mode and stop mode.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a personal information input method of the cash register according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the personal information input method of the cash register according to the present invention first determines whether the operation mode of the current cash register is set to the personal information management mode in step S10. As a result of the determination in step S10, if the current operation mode of the cash register is not set to the personal information management mode, step S34 or less is performed.

That is, in step S34, it is determined whether the personal information management key is input by determining the presence or absence of a key input from the user. In this case, when the personal information management key is not input from the user, the process proceeds to step S38 to perform a function according to a corresponding operation mode. On the other hand, if it is determined that the personal information management key 23a is input from the user as a result of the step S34, the process proceeds to step S36, after switching the current operation mode of the cash register to the personal information management mode. Step S10 or less is repeated.

At this time, when the determination result of step S10 indicates that the current cash register operation mode is set to the personal information management mode, the process proceeds to step S12 to determine whether a signal for inputting new personal information is input from the user. . That is, when the personal information input signal is determined by the manipulation of the 'input' key 23b by the user, the process proceeds to step S14 to receive a bar code code in which various kinds of information about the individual are stored. At this time, the bar code code input is made up of a bar code code for a variety of information including personal details, addresses, contacts, and the like for a specific individual.

On the other hand, such a bar code code is generally composed of a series of rectangular bars and spaces having various kinds of widths. That is, the bar code code itself is a pattern of coded representations, which is composed of a series of bars having various kinds of widths formed by spaced apart from each other so that spaces having various kinds of widths are formed, and these bars and spaces have different light reflections. Has characteristics.

In addition, the relative sizes of the bars and spaces are determined by the type of code being used. These barcodes include 12-digit universal product code (UPC), 13-digit European article number (EAN including check-digit), code 39 , Code 128, Codabar, and Interleaved 2 of 5. The code used in Korea is KAN code like EAN system.

In the next step S16, the bar code data received in the step S14 is compared with the preset data format, and if the bar code data input in the step S18 matches the preset bar code data format, the step S20 is performed. Proceed and store the personal information entered in the corresponding field of the personal information storage area. On the other hand, if the bar code data input from the user as a result of the comparison of the step (S18) does not match the preset bar code data format is output to step S22 to display the bar code information input error.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the 'input' key 23a is not input as a result of the determination in step S12, the process proceeds to step S24 to search for specific personal information stored in the personal information storage area from the user ' It is determined whether the search 'key 23d is input. As a result of the determination, when the 'search' key 23d is input, the process proceeds to step S30 to search for a plurality of personal information stored in the personal information storage area based on the search information input from the user. In this case, the search information input from the user may be set to the same as the name of the object to be searched.

If the search key 23d is not input as a result of the determination in step S24, the process proceeds to step S26 and changes to the contents of the personal information already stored in the personal information storage area from the user. It is determined whether the 'correction' key 23c has been inputted. As a result of the determination, when the 'correction' key 23c is input, in step S28, the user who receives the personal information to be corrected and the personal information to be corrected is received from the user and newly received the content which is already stored in the personal information storage area. The content will be updated. In addition, when the 'correction' key 23c is not input as a result of the determination in step S26, the process proceeds to step S32 to display a key input error.

The personal information input method of the cash register according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be variously modified and implemented within the range allowed by the technical idea of the present invention.

As described above, in the personal information input method of the cash register according to the present invention, the personal information may be managed by inputting the personal information into the cash register and then performing search, correction, and the like. Allows the user to read and enter a pre-written barcode without entering it through keystrokes.

Therefore, by the method of inputting the personal information of the cash register according to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of having to perform key operation in order for the user of the cash register to input personal information, and at the same time, reduce the key input error generated during key operation This allows quick and accurate input of personal information.
