And so on.

The issuing unit 170 is constituted by a printer that issues receipts, and under the control of the terminal control unit 120 , issues the payment receipt illustrated in FIG. 7A and the retention receipt illustrated in FIG. 7B .

In addition, as long as the issuance unit 170 has the function of issuing receipts, the format and printing principle are not limited. A commercially available known printer or the like can be appropriately selected and used.

Transaction information management server 200

The transaction information management server 200 shown in FIG. 1 is a server that gathers the transaction information sent from the commodity information registration terminal 100 and transmits the transaction information to the commodity information registration terminal 100 according to an inquiry from the commodity information registration terminal 100 . As shown in FIG. 3 , the transaction information management server 200 includes a server control unit 210 , a server storage unit 220 , and a server communication unit 230 , and these units are connected via a bus 240 .

The server control unit 210 is composed of a CPU, RAM, and the like. The CPU uses RAM as a work area, and controls the overall operation of the transaction information management server 200 by executing a control program stored in ROM and HDD (Hard Disk Drive) constituting the server storage unit 220 .

The server storage unit 220 includes an internal memory such as a ROM, an HDD, and the like, and has a program area and a data area. The program area stores a control program for controlling the transaction information management server 200 . The data area stores the transaction information management table 231 illustrated in FIGS. 6A and 6B . In the transaction information management table 231 , records (logs) of transaction information including person-in-charge information, transaction codes, and commodity information transmitted from each terminal of the commodity information registration terminal 100 are serially registered.

In addition, each record of the transaction information is provided with a settlement flag, and it is possible to identify whether or not each product has been settled. In the example of FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, "1" is added to the item which has been settled, and "0" is added to the item which has not been settled.

The server communication unit 230 is constituted by a communication device for connecting with the commodity information registration terminal 100 via the network N, and transmits and receives transaction information.

Next, the operation of the sales processing system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 . In addition, in the terminal storage unit 130 of each product information registration terminal 100 , person-in-charge information for identifying the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 is set in advance. In the example shown in FIG. 4 , person-in-charge information (person-in-charge No: 0000000002) of Tanaka as the person-in-charge is set.

When the customer starts to register the product to be purchased, he operates a button such as "Registration Start" displayed on the screen. In response to this operation, commodity information registration terminal 100 starts the checkout process shown in FIG. 8 .

When the terminal control unit 120 starts the checkout process, it sets a transaction code for identifying the transaction of the checkout process, and records it in the terminal storage unit 130 as illustrated in FIG. 4 (step S101). In the example shown in FIG. 4, the transaction code "0312" is registered.

When the transaction code is set, the terminal control unit 120 judges whether a commodity code is input from the reading unit 110 (step S102). The checkout process is on standby until the reading unit 110 reads the product code (No in step S102).

When registering a product, the customer holds up the product code of the product to be registered to the reading unit 110 . At this time, the reading unit 110 reads the product code, and the terminal control unit 120 determines that the product code has been input (Yes in step S102).

The terminal control unit 120 uses the input commodity code as a trigger, refers to a PLU (PriceLookUp: price lookup) table, etc., obtains the commodity name, commodity price (unit price), etc., and stores commodity information corresponding to the commodity code in the terminal storage unit 130. in (step S103).

For example, when the customer lifts the product code "00000023" of the product "oyster mushroom" to the reading unit 110, as shown in FIG. 4, the product information of "oyster mushroom" is stored corresponding to the transaction code "0312". Commodity information includes commodity code, commodity name, commodity price, quantity and so on.

When the product information corresponding to the read product code is stored in the terminal storage unit 130, the terminal control unit 120 determines whether the hold button of the input unit 140 has been pressed (step S104). When the hold button has not been pressed (NO in step S104), the terminal control unit 120 determines whether or not the subtotal button has been pressed (step S105).

When the subtotal button is not pressed (No in step S105), the terminal control unit 120 further judges whether the commodity code has been input (step S102). For example, when the customer continues to lift the commodity codes "00000035" and "00000092" of the commodity "carrot" and "slippery mushroom", the checkout process repeats steps S102～S105 twice. As shown in FIG. Commodity information of "carrot" and "slippery mushroom" are stored in sequence.

When the customer completes product registration, he presses the subtotal button. Terminal control unit 120 detects this operation (step S105 is yes), calculates the total amount of goods based on the product information stored in terminal storage unit 130, displays on the display device that input unit 140 has, and discriminates access processing device 160 whether to accept the payment of the amount (step S106).

The settlement process is on standby until the access processing device 160 accepts payment (No in step S106). When the access processing device 160 accepts the payment (Yes in step S106), the terminal communication unit 150 sends the transaction information including the person in charge information and the transaction code stored in the terminal storage unit 130 as illustrated in FIG. 4 to the transaction information management server 200. and the transaction information of commodity information (step S107).

When the terminal communication unit 150 transmits the transaction information, the issuing unit 170 issues a bill for settlement (step S108). On the checkout slip, product information related to the product purchased by the customer, information on the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 operated by the customer, a transaction code for the checkout process, and the like are printed. The customer accepts the checkout slip.

When the issuing unit 170 issues the bill for payment, the terminal control unit 120 deletes the transaction code and commodity information from the transaction information stored in the terminal storage unit 130 (step S109 ). Next, the checkout process returns to step S101, and the product information registration terminal 100 accepts the next customer's operation.

On the other hand, when the terminal communication unit 150 transmits transaction information to the transaction information management server 200 in step S107, the server communication unit 230 of the transaction information management server 200 receives the transaction information (step S110). As shown in FIG. 6B , the server control unit 210 stores the received transaction information as a record in the server storage unit 220 (step S111 ). The commodity indicated by the commodity information included in the transaction information transmitted in step S107 has already been settled, so the settlement flag is set to "1".

When the server storage unit 220 stores the transaction information, the transaction information management server 200 ends the processing related to the transaction information received by the transaction information management server 200 this time.

In steps S102 to S105, the customer often needs to leave the cash register for reasons such as returning to pick up a product that he forgot to buy when he lifts the product code to the reading unit 110 to register the product information. In such a case, the customer presses the hold button of the input section 140 . When the terminal control unit 120 determines that the hold button has been pressed (YES in step S104), the checkout process transitions to the hold process shown in FIG. 9 .

When the holding process is started, first, the terminal communication unit 150 transmits transaction information related to the preceding settlement process as shown in FIG. 4 to the transaction information management server 200 (step S201 ). In the example of FIG. 4 , the terminal communication unit 150 transmits to the transaction information management server 200 the information stored in the terminal storage unit 130 and related to this transaction, including the person in charge information “0000000002 Tanaka”, the transaction code “0312”, the registered “ Pleurotus ostreatus", "Carrot", "Slider mushroom" related commodity information transaction information.

When the transaction information is transmitted to the transaction information management server 200, the terminal control unit 120 causes the issuing unit 170 to issue a retention slip on which transaction information before retention as shown in FIG. 7B is described (step S202). In the example of FIG. 7B , the reservation ticket is printed with product information related to "oyster mushroom", "carrot" and "slippery mushroom" registered before the reservation, and the person in charge information "0000000002 Tanaka" indicating the person in charge. ", the transaction code "0312" representing this checkout process, the barcode representing the transaction code, etc.

In addition, the reservation receipt has the information "This transaction has been temporarily reserved. Please bring this receipt to a nearby cash register when restarting this transaction." Therefore, it will be visually recognized as a reservation receipt. The customer accepts the reservation ticket and goes to finish the job.

When the issuing part 170 issued the reservation bill, the terminal control part 120 deleted the transaction code and commodity information in the transaction information stored in the terminal storage part 130 (step S203), ended this processing, and was in the position of waiting to accept the customer's operation. state.

On the other hand, when the terminal communication part 150 transmits the transaction information before holding in step S201, the server communication part 230 of the transaction information management server 200 receives the transaction information (step S204). When the server communication unit 230 receives the transaction information, as shown in FIG. 6A , the server control unit 210 adds the received transaction information to the record in the server storage unit 220 (step S205 ). Since the product indicated by the product information included in the transaction information transmitted in step S201 has not been settled, "0" is set in the settlement flag.

When the server storage unit 220 stores the transaction information, the transaction information management server 200 ends the processing related to the transaction information received by the transaction information management server 200 this time.

When the customer who has left the checkout process resumes the checkout process, he operates a button such as "restart cash register" displayed on the screen of the commodity information registration terminal 100 at any cash register. In response to this operation, the terminal control unit 120 starts the callback process shown in FIG. 10 .

Next, the customer holds up the transaction code printed on the reservation slip to the reading unit 110 of the product information registration terminal 100 . At this time, the reading unit 110 reads the transaction code printed on the holding slip (step S301).

The terminal control unit 120 causes the terminal communication unit 150 to transmit request information requesting transaction information associated with the transaction code read from the reading unit 110 to the transaction information management server (step S302 ). As long as the transaction code printed on the reservation slip shown in FIG. 7B is read, request information requesting transaction information associated with the transaction code "0312" is sent.

When the server communication part 230 of the transaction information management server 200 receives the transaction code from the product information registration terminal 100 (step S303), the server control part 210 refers to the server storage part 220 to obtain the association with the received transaction code, and the settlement flag is " 0" transaction information (step S304). The server communication unit 230 transmits the acquired transaction information to the commodity information registration terminal 100 (step S305). In the above example, the transaction information associated with the transaction code "0312" is acquired.

When the terminal communication unit 150 of the product information registration terminal 100 receives transaction information from the transaction information management server 200 (step S306), the terminal control unit 120 stores the transaction information in the terminal storage unit 130 (step S307). At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the transaction information received from the transaction information management server 200 is separated from the transaction information (transaction information (1)) originally provided in the product information registration terminal 100 including the person in charge information of the store manager, as Transaction information (2) is stored. In addition, at this time, the transaction code of the checkout process performed in the product information registration terminal 100 is numbered (numbered). In the example of FIG. 5, the number has transaction code "0320" and is set in the transaction information (1).

Next, the terminal control unit 120 waits for the input of the product code from the reading unit 110 (step S308).

When a commodity code is input from the reading unit 110 (Yes in step S308), the terminal control unit 120 stores commodity information corresponding to the commodity code in the terminal storage unit 130 (step S309). For example, when the customer lifts the product code "00000109" of the product "sliced melon" to the reading unit 110, the terminal storage unit 130 stores the product information of "sliced melon" as shown in transaction information (1) in FIG. .

Next, the terminal control unit 120 determines whether the hold button of the input unit 140 has been pressed (step S310). When the hold button has not been pressed (NO in step S310), the terminal control unit 120 determines whether or not the subtotal button has been pressed (step S311).

When the subtotal button is not pressed (No in step S311), the terminal control unit 120 further determines whether a commodity code is input (step S308). For example, when the customer continues to lift the product code "00000068" of the product "fried chicken nuggets", the checkout process repeats steps S308 to S311, as shown in the transaction information (1) of Figure 5, the terminal storage unit 130 stores the "fried chicken nuggets" block" product information.

When the customer registers all the added commodities and presses the subtotal button (Yes in step S311), the terminal control unit 120 calculates the total amount of commodities based on the commodity information stored in the terminal storage unit 130, and displays it on the input screen. On the display device of the unit 140, it is judged whether the access processing device 160 has accepted the payment of the amount (step S312).

The settlement process is on standby until the access processing device 160 accepts payment (No in step S312). When the access processing device 160 accepts the payment (Yes in step S312), the terminal communication unit 150 transmits transaction information to the transaction information management server 200 (step S313). The issuing unit 170 prints the person in charge information of the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 operated before the checkout process and the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 operated after the resumption of the checkout process, and issues a checkout receipt (step S314). The customer accepts the checkout slip.

As long as it is the transaction information shown in the example of FIG. 5 , as shown in FIG. 7A , the checkout receipt is printed with person-in-charge information “0000000002 Tanaka” representing “Tanaka” and person-in-charge information “0000000001 Manager” representing “Store Manager”. ", the "Tanaka" is the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 that was operated before the checkout process was reserved, and the "store manager" is the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 that was operated after the checkout process was resumed. principal.

When issuing a checkout bill from the issuing part 170, the terminal control part 120 deletes the transaction information (2) before the reservation, the transaction code and the commodity information ( Step S315), end the current checkout process, and wait for the next customer's operation.

On the other hand, when the server communication part 230 of the transaction information management server 200 receives the transaction information sent by the terminal communication part 150 in step S312 (step S316), then as shown in FIG. 6B, the server control part 210 makes the server storage part 220 stores the received transaction information as a record (step S317). The product indicated by each piece of product information included in the transaction information transmitted in step S312 has already been paid for, so "1" is set in the settlement flag.

When the server storage unit 220 stores the transaction information, the transaction information management server 200 ends the processing related to the transaction information received by the transaction information management server 200 this time.

On the other hand, when it is discriminated in step S310 that the hold button has been pressed (YES in step S310), the checkout process proceeds to the above-described hold process of FIG. 9 . Here, the terminal control unit 120 transmits transaction information (transaction code, responsible person information, product information) related to this additional registration to the transaction information management server 200 (step S201 ). The transaction information management server 200 receives the transmitted transaction information and additionally registers it in the record (steps S204, S205). At this time, the settlement flag is regarded as "0" indicating that no settlement has been made.

The terminal control unit 120 records the transaction code of the current settlement process and the transaction code of the previous (past) reserved settlement process on the reservation slip, and issues them (step S202 ).

In the next call-back process, the terminal control unit 120 requests to send the transaction information involved in all the transaction codes recorded and retained by the reservation note (step S302), and the transaction information management server 200 sends the transaction information involved in the requested multiple transaction codes. The transaction information is sent to the commodity information registration terminal 100.

For example, in the state of FIG. 5, if it is considered that the hold button has been operated, the terminal control unit 120 sends the transaction information (1) related to this additional registration to the transaction information management server 200 (step S201), and the transaction information management The server 200 additionally registers the received transaction information in the record (steps S204, S205).

The terminal control unit 120 records and issues barcodes indicating the transaction code "0320" of the current payment processing and the transaction code "0312" of the payment processing held in the past on the holding slip.

In the next callback process, the terminal control unit 120 requests to send the transaction information related to all the transaction codes "0320" and "0312" recorded and retained by the reservation note (step S302), and the transaction information management server 200 sends the requested The transaction information is sent to the commodity information registration terminal 100.

The checkout slip records the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 who performed the checkout process executed after the callback process, and the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 with past tense "0000000002: Tanaka" and "0000000001: store manager", And be issued (step S314).

According to the sales processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the person in charge of the product information registration terminal 100 operated before the checkout process is reserved is printed on the checkout slip, so that the product information of the checkout process can be easily confirmed. The responsible person information of the terminal 100 is registered.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the product information registration terminal 100 is described as a self-service cash register, but the same applies when the products to be sold are divided into products to be sold by self-checkout and products to be cashed by a clerk.
