FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram of a POS (Point Of Sales) system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The POS system 1 shown in FIG. Connected for communication. Hereinafter, the POS terminals 20-1, 20-2, and 20-3 will be collectively referred to as the POS terminal 20 unless otherwise distinguished. Note that the POS system 1 may further include a monitoring terminal (not shown) that displays the status (operation mode, processing status, etc.) of the POS terminal 20 and controls the POS terminal 20.

The POS system 1 can be introduced into various stores (supermarkets, convenience stores, bakeries, bento shops, etc.).

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of installation of the POS terminal 20. As shown in FIG. FIG. 2A is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 and the like as viewed from the customer side. FIG. 2(B) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 and the like as viewed from the store clerk's side. As shown in FIG. 2(A), a counter is placed on the right side of the POS terminal 20 when viewed from the customer side. A product recognition device (product recognition unit) 60 is placed above the counter. The product recognition device 60 is a device connected to the POS terminal 20 by wire or wirelessly (wireless in the example shown in FIG. 2).

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the POS terminal 20. As shown in FIG. FIG. 3(A) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 viewed from the customer side. FIG. 3(B) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 viewed from the store clerk side. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the POS terminal 20. As shown in FIG. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Hereinafter, a configuration example of the POS terminal 20 shown in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The POS terminal 20 includes a CPU 201, a ROM 202, a RAM 203, a hard disk 204, a customer side display section 205, a customer side scanner section 206, a card payment section 208, a change machine 209, a clerk side display section 210, It includes a key operation section 211, a clerk side scanner section 212, a printing section 213, an audio output section 214, a communication section 215, and a clerk call button 216 (details will be described later). Further, a product recognition device 60 is connected to the POS terminal 20, as indicated by a broken line. These can communicate with each other via a bus.

Note that the POS terminal 20 has multiple operation modes. This operation mode is the operation mode during normal business operations (operation mode related to registration processing and payment processing), and is the aggregation mode for aggregating and inquiring sales and balances, and the operation mode for store clerks, maintenance personnel, etc. to perform setting work and maintenance work. It does not include maintenance mode when training is performed, training mode when new employees are training, etc.

The POS terminal 20 has, for example, three types of operation modes: normal mode (standard mode), full self-mode, and semi-self mode (accounting-only mode). The normal mode (standard mode) is an operation mode in which the registration process is not executed on the customer's side but on the clerk's side. The full self mode is an operation mode that assumes registration processing on the customer's side, but also allows registration processing on the clerk's side. Note that a state in which registration processing is performed on both the customer side and the clerk side is sometimes referred to as double scan mode. The semi-self mode (accounting only mode) is an operation mode in which the own terminal does not perform the registration process, and only performs the payment process based on the registration information generated at the other terminal.

For example, the POS terminal 20 receives an explicit mode switching operation by a store clerk (for example, operating the mode switching button 211a), receives a mode switching command from another terminal (another POS terminal 20, store controller 10), or receives a predetermined period of time. The operation mode is switched based on (unused), etc.

The CPU 201 is a central processing unit, and controls the operation of the POS terminal 20 by reading and executing programs stored in the ROM 202 .
The ROM 202 is a read-only memory and stores various information used by the CPU 201 including programs.

RAM 203 is a read/write memory and stores various information. For example, the RAM 203 stores information acquired from outside (for example, a product master acquired from the store controller 10), information generated during processing (for example, registration information (registration data) generated in a registration process for registering a product, purchase (Settlement information, etc. generated in the settlement process of settling (settlement) products) is stored.

Hard disk 204 stores various information. For example, instead of the ROM 202, the hard disk 204 may store programs executed by the CPU 201. Further, instead of the RAM 203, information acquired from the outside or information generated during processing may be stored.

The customer-side display unit 205 is a touch display for customers, and displays various information to the customer and receives various inputs from the customer.
The customer-side scanner unit 206 is a scanner unit for customers, and optically reads various information. For example, the customer side scanner unit 206 optically scans barcodes attached to products (product codes, etc.) and codes (barcodes, two-dimensional codes, etc.) printed on checkout tickets (registered trademarks). read. In addition to the above, the customer side scanner unit 206 also scans codes (barcodes, 2 (dimensional code, etc.) may also be read.

Note that although the customer-side scanner unit 206 is used when a customer registers a product, the customer may register the product using other methods. For example, if a preset key (button for ordering a product) corresponding to a product is displayed on the customer side display section 205, the customer may operate (press) the preset key to register the product.

The card payment unit 208 is a payment mechanism using various cards (credit cards, prepaid cards such as transportation cards, point cards, etc.). The card payment section 208 includes a card recognition section (reading section), a display section, and an operation section. The card recognition unit magnetically or electrically reads information on various cards. The read information is used for payment (settlement) of purchased products. In addition, when using the recognized information for payment (settlement) of the purchased product (in other words, in the case of credit card payment, prepaid card payment, prepaid card payment, the card recognition unit uses the points held by the point card. In addition to cases where the recognized information is not used for payment (settlement) of the purchased product (e.g., when giving benefits by presenting a credit card, when giving points to a point card) etc.) may also recognize various cards. Note that although the card payment unit 208 of this embodiment includes a card recognition unit (reading unit), a display unit, and an operation unit, the card payment unit 208 may include at least a card recognition unit. Further, the card recognition unit of this embodiment is compatible with contact cards (IC cards, magnetic cards), but instead of or in addition to contact cards, it can be used with non-contact cards (IC cards). It may correspond to.

The change machine 209 (cash payment unit) is a cash payment mechanism, has an inlet for bills and coins, and an outlet for bills and coins, calculates the amount inserted into the inlet, and compares the input amount with the purchase amount. The difference in change amount is calculated and the change is discharged from the discharge port. Note that the change machine 209 faces the customer and is operated by the customer. Note that when banknotes or coins are inserted into the input slot, they are detected by a sensor (detection of insertion, detection of number of coins for each denomination, etc.).

The clerk-side display unit 210 is a touch display for the clerk, and displays various information to the clerk and receives various inputs from the clerk.
The key operation unit 211 is composed of various keys (hardware keys, buttons), and receives various inputs from the store clerk.
The clerk side scanner section 212 is a scanner section for the clerk, and optically reads various information. For example, the clerk-side scanner unit 212 optically reads a barcode attached to a product or a clerk code attached to a clerk's name tag. In addition to the above, the clerk-side scanner unit 212 may read codes printed on checkout tickets, gift certificates, and various cards.

Note that although the clerk-side scanner section 212 is used when a store clerk registers a product, the store clerk may register the product using other methods. For example, if a key corresponding to a product (for example, a key corresponding to a sports newspaper, etc.) is arranged on the key operation unit 211, a store clerk may operate (press) the key and register the product. good. Further, when a preset key corresponding to a product is displayed on the store clerk side display section 210, the store clerk may operate the preset key to register the product.

The printing unit 213 prints and issues various media (receipts, billing tickets, etc.). The printing unit 213 is rotatably changeable in orientation (direction of the media issuing port) from the clerk's side to the customer's side and from the customer's side to the clerk's side. The orientation of the printing unit 213 may be changed manually, or may be automatically changed (mechanically controlled, etc.), for example, based on switching of the operation mode (details will be described later). Note that a sensor or the like may be used to detect whether the printing unit 213 is oriented correctly or incorrectly. Note that switching the operating mode is also referred to as shifting the operating mode.

The audio output unit 214 outputs audio. For example, the audio output unit 214 outputs audio guidance and the like.
The communication unit 215 transmits and receives information to and from other terminals (other POS terminals 20, store controllers 10).
The clerk call button 216 is a button for calling a clerk. The customer operates the clerk call button 216 when calling the clerk (for example, when the customer needs the clerk's support).

The product recognition device 60 is a device that recognizes a product to be registered (a product to be purchased). The product recognition device 60 transmits the recognition result (information regarding the recognized product) to the POS terminal 20.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the product recognition device 60. FIG. 5(A) is a diagram showing an example of the appearance of the product recognition device 60. FIG. 5(B) is a diagram showing bread that is a recognition target by the product recognition device 60. FIG. 5(C) is a diagram showing the price plate 62 and the IC tag 63. The product recognition device 60 is a reading device that reads an IC tag (also referred to as an electronic tag or RF tag). The product recognition device 60 recognizes each product (bread in this example) by reading the IC tag 63. In the example shown in FIG. 5, when the tray 61 (see FIG. 5(B)) is placed within the frame on the top surface of the device (see FIG. 5(A)), the product recognition device 60 is placed on the tray 61 (see FIG. 5(B)). The IC tag 63 (see FIG. 5(C)) attached to the back of the price plate 62 (see FIGS. 5(B) and 5(C)) attached to the bread is read. Thereby, the product recognition device 60 recognizes one or more breads placed on the tray 61.

(Mode for storing bread identification information in IC tag 63)
For example, bread identification information that can identify individual breads may be stored in the IC tag 63. In this aspect, the product recognition device 60 acquires bread identification information of each bread placed on the tray 61. In this aspect, individual breads are recognized by acquiring bread identification information. The product recognition device 60 outputs the acquired bread identification information to the POS terminal 20. The POS terminal 20 can acquire information (name, selling price, etc.) regarding the bread identified by the bread identification information from the bread identification information acquired from the product recognition device 60. For example, the POS terminal 20 stores master information regarding bread (bread master) in the RAM 203, and acquires information regarding the bread identified by the bread identification information acquired from the product recognition device 60. Alternatively, the POS terminal 20 may obtain information regarding the bread identified by the bread identification information obtained from the product recognition device 60 by inquiring an external device (for example, the store controller 10) that stores the bread master.

(Mode for storing bread name and sales price in IC tag 63)
Instead of or in addition to the bread identification information, the name and selling price of the bread may be stored in the IC tag 63. In this embodiment, the product recognition device 60 acquires the name and selling price of each bread placed on the tray 61. In this embodiment, each bread is recognized by acquiring the name and selling price of each bread. The product recognition device 60 outputs the acquired name and selling price to the POS terminal 20.

Note that the price plate 62 may be of any type as long as it does not prevent the product recognition device 60 from reading the IC tag 63, and its shape, material, etc. are not particularly limited. The tray 61 may be of any type as long as it does not prevent the product recognition device 60 from reading the IC tag 63, and its shape, material, etc. are not particularly limited. Further, although FIG. 5 uses an example in which a price plate 62 with an IC tag 63 is inserted into the bread body, it is sufficient if the IC tag 63 is associated with each bread, as shown in FIG. This example is not limited to the above example. For example, an IC tag 63 may be attached to a packaging member for packaging each piece of bread.

Moreover, although the example in which the POS terminal 20 and the product recognition device 60 are separate units has been described above, the product recognition device 60 may be a part of the POS terminal 20.

(Product recognition using image recognition)
Although a method has been described in which the product to be registered (bread in this example) is recognized by reading the IC tag 63, the product to be registered may be recognized by other methods. For example, the product to be registered may be recognized by image recognition.

(A mode in which the POS terminal 20 is equipped with a camera)
The POS terminal 20 may be configured to include a camera (imaging unit) that captures images of products. In other words, the POS terminal 20 may take an image of the bread on the tray 61 with its own camera, and recognize the type of bread from the taken image.

For example, a tray 61 mounting stand (for example, a mere tray 61 mounting stand that has the same external shape as the product recognition device 60 but does not have an IC tag 63 reading function unlike the product recognition device 60) is placed on the counter. Alternatively, the tray 61 may be placed on the mounting table. In this aspect, the POS terminal 20 may include a camera capable of capturing an image of a predetermined position (the top surface of the mounting table) from above. The camera may be supported by a camera support section. The camera support section may extend upward from the edge of the mounting table, or may extend horizontally from the side surface of the casing of the POS terminal 20 above the predetermined position.

The tray 61 may be placed directly on the counter without installing the above-mentioned placement stand on the counter. In this aspect, the POS terminal 20 may include a camera capable of capturing an image of a predetermined position (a predetermined position on the counter) from above. The camera may be supported by a camera support section. The camera support section may extend horizontally from the side surface of the casing of the POS terminal 20 above the predetermined position.

(A mode in which the POS terminal 20 is not equipped with a camera)
The POS terminal 20 may have a configuration in which it does not include a camera (imaging unit) that captures images of products. That is, an external camera may image the bread on the tray 61, and the POS terminal 20 may recognize what type of bread it is from the captured image obtained from the camera.

For example, a mounting table for the tray 61 may be installed on a counter, and the tray 61 may be placed on the mounting table. In this aspect, the POS terminal 20 may acquire a captured image from a camera capable of capturing an image of a predetermined position (the top surface of the mounting table) from above. Note that the camera may be supported by a camera support section extending upward from the edge of the mounting table, or may be installed on the ceiling directly above the mounting table.

The tray 61 may be placed directly on the counter without installing the above-mentioned placement stand on the counter. In this aspect, the POS terminal 20 may acquire a captured image from a camera that can capture an image of a predetermined position (a predetermined position on the counter) from above. Note that the camera may be installed on the ceiling directly above the predetermined position.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the POS terminal 20 when registering a product. The POS terminal 20 executes product registration as illustrated in FIG. 6, for example, when in normal mode (standard mode) or full self-mode.

Step S100: The POS terminal 20 determines whether the product (bread) has been recognized. For example, in the case of reading the IC tags 63, the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the IC tags 63 of one or more breads have been read. Furthermore, in the case of recognizing a captured image, it is determined whether one or more pans have been recognized from the captured image. If the product is recognized (step S100: YES), the process advances to step S101. If the product is not recognized (step S100: NO), the process advances to step S102.

Step S101: The POS terminal 20 registers and displays the product recognized in step S100. For example, in the case of reading the IC tag 63, the POS terminal 20 stores the read information (information stored in the IC tag 63) or the information obtained based on the read information in the storage unit (RAM 203 (or hard disk 204)). and displayed on the display section (customer-side display section 205, clerk-side display section 210). Note that the information obtained based on the read information is, for example, information obtained by referring to the bread master when the read information is bread identification information (when the bread identification information is stored in the IC tag 63). This is information regarding the bread (bread name, selling price, etc.) identified by the read information (bread identification information). In addition, in the case of recognizing a captured image, the POS terminal 20 stores information regarding the bread (bread name, selling price, etc.) recognized from the captured image in the storage unit (RAM 203 (or hard disk 204)) and displays it. (customer-side display section 205, clerk-side display section 210). Then, the process advances to step S102.

Step S102: The POS terminal 20 scans the barcode (JAN code, etc.) attached to the product (mainly products other than bread, such as drinks) by the clerk side scanner unit 212 (or customer side scanner unit 206). Determine whether or not. If the barcode is scanned (step S102: YES), the process advances to step S104. If the barcode has not been scanned (step S102: NO), the process advances to step S103.

Step S103: The POS terminal 20 operates the button or key corresponding to the product (mainly products other than bread, such as drinks, etc.) displayed on the display section (customer side display section 205, clerk side display section 210). It is determined whether a button corresponding to a product (mainly products other than bread, such as drinks, etc.) arranged in section 211 has been operated. If the button is operated (step S103: YES), the process advances to step S104. If the button is not operated (step S103: NO), the process advances to step S105.

Step S104: The POS terminal 20 registers and displays the product whose barcode was scanned in step S102 or the product whose button was operated in step S103. Then, the process advances to step S105.

Step S105: The POS terminal 20 determines whether there is an operation to end product registration (eg, operation of a subtotal button). If there is an operation to end product registration (step S105: YES), this flowchart ends (moves to payment processing). If there is no operation to end product registration (step S105: NO), the process returns to step S100.

7 to 11 are display examples on the POS terminal 20. For example, the POS terminal 20 displays a product registration screen as illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 11 when in the normal mode (standard mode) or full self mode.

FIG. 7 is a display example on the POS terminal 20 when three breads (curry bread, melon bread, and mini red bean paste) are registered all at once (registered all at once) from a state where no products are registered. In other words, when the POS terminal 20 recognizes three breads in a state where no products are registered (step S100 (YES) in FIG. 6), the POS terminal 20 registers the three breads, and also registers the three breads. Information (bread name, selling price, etc.) is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (step S101).

In FIG. 7, a first display area R1 is an area that displays information regarding products that are registered all at once (products that are registered all at once by reading IC tags 63, image recognition, etc.). In the example shown in FIG. 7, information regarding curry bread (symbol a1), information regarding melon bread (symbol a2), information regarding mini-anpan (symbol a3), and simultaneous registration subtotal (symbol b) are displayed. The simultaneous registration subtotal (symbol b) is information regarding the subtotal (total) of products that are simultaneously registered.

In the first display area R1, the order of display (registration is the same) of information regarding curry bread (code a1), information regarding melon bread (code a2), and information regarding mini-anpan (code a3) is based on price. However, the order may be based on other criteria (for example, a predetermined order).

In FIG. 7, the total display area R4 is an area that displays information regarding the total. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a total score of "3" and a total amount of "¥528" are displayed.

In FIG. 7, a button area R5 is an area where buttons and the like corresponding to individual products and the like are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, coffee button B1, tea button B2, cider button B3, and draft beer button B4 are displayed as buttons corresponding to individual products. The next page button B5 is a button for displaying the next page that displays buttons corresponding to other drinks. In the example shown in Figure 7, the "Drinks" tab is selected, so buttons for products belonging to drinks are displayed, but if another tab is selected, the buttons for the products belonging to the drink category are displayed. Different buttons will be displayed depending on the location. For example, when the "sweets" tab is selected, buttons for products belonging to sweets are displayed, and when the "coupon" tab is selected, buttons related to coupons are displayed.

In addition, the draft beer button B4 is marked with a star mark Ma1 marked with "30", but the star mark Ma1 is different from the draft beer button B4 with one or more products that have already been registered. This indicates that the draft beer indicated by B4 will be given a set discount of 30 yen. In other words, a set discount can be applied to at least one of the following: draft beer and curry bread set discount (30 yen discount), draft beer and melon bread set discount (30 yen discount), draft beer and mini-anpan set discount (30 yen discount) It indicates that In this example, as shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that a set discount for draft beer and curry bread (30 yen discount) and a set discount for draft beer and melon bread (30 yen discount) have been established. Note that which set discount has been established may be displayed in a recognizable manner. This makes it possible to know that a specific drink is eligible for a campaign (in this example, a set discount). In this example, for convenience of explanation, draft beer is the drink eligible for the set discount with bread, but it goes without saying that other products (coffee, tea, etc.) are eligible for the set discount, taking into account their compatibility with bread. It may also be a target.

In FIG. 7, the subtotal button B9 is a button that is operated when completing product registration. In other words, the subtotal button B9 is a button that declares to end product registration or a button that declares to proceed to payment processing.

Note that when the POS terminal 20 is in the normal mode (standard mode), the POS terminal 20 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the clerk side display section 210. When the POS terminal 20 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the clerk side display section 210 in the normal mode (standard mode), the POS terminal 20 also displays a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the customer side display section 205. (However, the product button area R5 and the subtotal button B9 may not be displayed on the customer side display section 205). Further, when the POS terminal 20 is in the full self mode, the POS terminal 20 displays a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the customer side display section 205. Note that the wording of the subtotal button B9 may be displayed in an easy-to-understand manner such as "end" instead of "subtotal" for customers. When the POS terminal 20 is displaying a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the customer side display section 205 in the full self mode, the POS terminal 20 may also display a screen as shown in FIG. 7 on the clerk side display section 210. . The same applies to the screens shown in FIGS. 8 to 11.

FIG. 8 is a display example on the POS terminal 20 when one more product (black tea) is individually registered from the state shown in FIG. That is, in the state shown in FIG. 7, when the tea button B2 is operated (step S103 (YES) in FIG. 6), the POS terminal 20 registers the tea corresponding to the tea button B2, and also registers the tea corresponding to the tea button B2. Information regarding the black tea (name, selling price, etc.) is displayed as shown in FIG. 8 (step S104).

In FIG. 8, the second display area R2 is an area for displaying information regarding individually registered products (products individually registered by scanning a barcode, operating a button, etc.). In the example shown in FIG. 8, information regarding black tea (code c1) and individual registration subtotal (code d) are displayed. The individual registration subtotal (symbol d) is information regarding the subtotal (total) of individually registered products.

Note that the POS terminal 20 may display the information in the first display area R1 and the information in the second display area R2 in different display modes. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the POS terminal 20 displays the product names of the products (curry bread, melon bread, mini red bean paste) in the first display area R1 in the first background color (dots in the figure). On the other hand, the product name of the product (black tea) in the second display area R2 is displayed in a second background color (thick diagonal lines and thin diagonal lines in the figure). In addition, in the first display area R1, information regarding the product (codes a1, a2, a3) and simultaneous registration subtotal (code b) are displayed following a square mark, whereas in the second display area R2, a circular Following the mark, information regarding the product (code c1) and individual registration subtotal (code d) are displayed.

In FIG. 8, the most recently registered product display area R3 is an area that displays information regarding the most recent (currently, last) registered product. In the example shown in FIG. 8, information regarding the most recently registered black tea is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, since a plurality of products (three) are displayed all at once, nothing is displayed in the most recently registered product display area R3, but in the example shown in FIG. Information regarding the last displayed product (mini red bean paste) may also be displayed.

FIG. 9 is a display example on the POS terminal 20 when one more product (draft beer) is individually registered from the state shown in FIG. In other words, in the state shown in FIG. 8, when the draft beer button B4 is operated (step S103 (YES) in FIG. 6), the POS terminal 20 displays a star-shaped mark Ma1 marked with "30" on the draft beer button B4. (In other words, this is a set discount of 30 yen with one or more products that have already been registered), so a small screen (window, pop-up screen) related to the set discount, as shown in Figure 9, appears. Display. The small screen W shown in FIG. 9 displays a message Me1 indicating that a set discount is established and an instruction to select one set discount, as well as curry bread (set discount for draft beer and curry bread (30 yen discount)). Button B6 for selecting, Button B7 for selecting melon bread (draft beer and melon bread set discount (30 yen discount)), Button B7 for erasing the small screen W and returning to the state before operating the draft beer button B4. B8 is displayed.

In addition, FIG. 9 shows a method for specifying one combination when there are multiple types of set discount combinations. Although one combination is selected, the method for selecting one combination is not limited to the method of having the operator select one. For example, the POS terminal 20 may automatically select one combination. As an example, the POS terminal 20 may select a combination with the cheapest product. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the price of curry bread is 220 yen and the price of melon bread is 198, so the POS terminal 20 offers melon bread (draft beer and melon bread set discount (30 yen discount)) regardless of the operator's selection. Select. As another example, the POS terminal 20 may select a combination with the most expensive product. In the example shown in FIG. 9, curry bread costs 220 yen and melon bread costs 198 yen. )). Note that in the case of a method in which the operator is allowed to select, the operator can freely select a desired combination. On the other hand, when the combination with the cheapest product is automatically selected, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of selection by the operator and give the impression that it is a good deal because of the high discount rate, for example. When automatically selecting a combination with the most expensive product, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of selection by the operator and, for example, to make the product with a high price as inconspicuous as possible. In addition, it is possible to set in advance on the settings screen, etc. whether to let the operator select, automatically select the combination with the cheapest product, or automatically select the combination with the most expensive product. good. Note that if there is only one combination of set discounts, the POS terminal 20 naturally determines the combination.

When the POS terminal 20 automatically selects a combination of set discounts (the same applies when determining the combination when there is only one combination of set discounts), the POS terminal 20 may display a small screen; does not need to be displayed. Note that when displaying a small screen when automatically selecting a combination of set discounts (the same applies when determining the combination when there is only one combination of set discounts), the POS terminal 20 displays the small screen. For example, the selected (determined) combination may be notified.

FIG. 10 is a display example on the POS terminal 20 when the curry bread button B6 on the small screen W is operated from the state shown in FIG. In other words, in the state shown in FIG. 9, if the set discount (30 yen discount) for draft beer and curry bread is selected, the POS terminal 20 registers the draft beer corresponding to the draft beer button B4, and also registers the draft beer corresponding to the draft beer button B4. The information (symbol c2) regarding is displayed as shown in FIG. 10 (step S104).

Further, the POS terminal 20 displays, as shown in FIG. 10, that a set discount has been established between draft beer and curry bread. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the POS terminal 20 displays curry bread (product name) in the first display area R1 and draft beer (product name) in the second display area R2 using a common third background color (as described above). A background color that is different from the first background color described above and the second background color described above (in the figure, it is displayed in a grid pattern with diagonal lines).

In the example shown in FIG. 10, information (code e) regarding the established set discount (draft beer set discount with draft beer as one of the products) and the set discount subtotal (code f) are displayed following the star mark. ing.

In addition, in FIG. 10, information regarding the most recently registered product (draft beer) is displayed in the most recently registered product display area R3, but information regarding the discount (draft beer set discount) related to the product (draft beer) is displayed. It may be displayed. For example, in the most recently registered product display area R3, information regarding the most recently registered product (draft beer) and information regarding a discount (draft beer set discount) related to the product (draft beer) may be displayed (displayed at the same time); After displaying the information regarding the most recently registered product (draft beer), information regarding the discount (draft beer set discount) related to the product (draft beer) may be displayed (displayed in order). The same applies to the screen shown in FIG.

FIG. 11 shows another display example on the POS terminal 20 when the curry bread button B6 on the small screen W is operated from the state shown in FIG. In other words, when the draft beer and curry bread set discount (30 yen discount) is selected, the POS terminal 20 may display the display as shown in FIG. 11 instead of FIG. 10.

The display example in FIG. 10 and the display example in FIG. 11 will be compared. In the display example in FIG. 10, products registered all at once and products registered individually are displayed separately, and the existence and structure of a set discount is notified. Specifically, curry bread, melon bread, and mini red bean bread that are registered all at once are displayed in the first display area R1, and tea and draft beer that are registered individually are displayed in the second display area R2. A common third background color is used to represent a set discount (30 yen off) for draft beer and curry bread. On the other hand, the display example in FIG. 11 goes beyond the boundaries of the types of products registered all at once and products registered individually, and displays the products with set discounts close together to show the existence and structure of set discounts. We are announcing this with more emphasis. Specifically, information regarding draft beer (code c2) is displayed one level below information regarding curry bread (code a1), and information regarding draft beer set discounts (code e) is displayed one level below. .

In addition, in the display example of FIG. 11, the first display area R1 displays information on individually registered products in addition to information on products that are registered all at once. Therefore, in the display example of FIG. ) is not displayed in the first display area R1 but is displayed below. In addition, in the display example of FIG. 11, since information regarding all products related to individual registration is not displayed in the second display area R2, in the display example of FIG. It is not displayed on R2 but displayed below.

In the display example of FIG. 11, information regarding curry bread (symbol a1), information regarding individually registered draft beer (symbol c2), and information regarding draft beer set discount (symbol e) are displayed in the first display area R1. However, instead of displaying information regarding curry bread (code a1), information regarding individually registered draft beer (code c2), and information regarding draft beer set discount (code e) in the second display area R1, It may be displayed in the display area R2.

As described above, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, the POS terminal 20 stores the products registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition) and the barcode attached to the product (or the button corresponding to the product). Distinguish and display products registered using . In other words, the POS terminal 20 stores products registered according to the first registration mode (products registered using the IC tag 63 or image recognition) and products registered according to the second registration mode (products registered using a bar attached to the product). (products registered using a code or a button corresponding to the product) are displayed separately.

Note that in the above, we distinguish between products registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition) and products registered using the barcode attached to the product (or a button corresponding to the product). Although an example of display has been described, the combination of products to be displayed separately is not limited to the above. In other words, a product registered according to the first registration mode does not have to be a product registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition), and a product registered according to the second registration mode does not have to be a product registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition). The product does not need to be registered using a barcode (or a button corresponding to the product).

As an example, the products registered according to the first registration method are reserved products (products for which you have indicated your intention to purchase before visiting the store), and the products registered according to the second registration method are regular products (non-reservation products. It may also be a product that is purchased by a customer. That is, the POS terminal 20 may display reserved products and regular products separately.

Note that although the POS terminal 20 has been described above as having a function of registering products recognized by the IC tag 63 or captured images all at once, in the following, the POS terminal 20 does not necessarily have the above function. It is not necessary to have it.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the POS terminal 20 when registering a product. For example, when the POS terminal 20 is in normal mode (standard mode) or full self mode, instead of or in addition to executing product registration as illustrated in FIG. 6, the POS terminal 20 performs product registration as illustrated in FIG. You may also register your product.

Step S200: The POS terminal 20 determines whether reservation information for the reserved product has been acquired. If the reservation information for the reserved product is acquired (step S200: YES), the process advances to step S201. If the reservation information for the reserved product has not been acquired (step S200: NO), the process advances to step S202.

Acquisition of the reservation information of the reserved product in step S200 means, for example, identification of the reservation contents (reserver ID, name of the reserver, product name of the reserved product, price, quantity, presence or absence of payment, etc.) that can be identified (specified). It may be inputting information (reservation number), recognition (reading) of code information (QR code (registered trademark)) that encodes reservation details, or identification of reservation details (identifiable). ) Code information (QR code (registered trademark)) that is coded identification information (reservation number) may be recognized (read).

Input of identification information (reservation number) and recognition of QR code (registered trademark) are performed as appropriate. For example, if a customer makes a reservation for a product on a PC (personal computer) and prints the reservation number on a medium (paper) and comes to the store, the POS terminal 20 will print the reservation number printed on the medium. Determine whether the input has been made. In addition, when a customer makes a reservation for a product on a PC and prints a QR code that encodes the reservation details (or reservation number) on a medium (paper) and comes to the store, the POS terminal 20 prints a QR code on the medium (paper). Determine whether or not the printed QR code is recognized. Furthermore, if the customer reserves a product using a smartphone and the reservation number is displayed on the smartphone, the POS terminal 20 determines whether or not the reservation number displayed on the smartphone has been input. . Further, when a customer reserves a product using a smartphone and a QR code that encodes the reservation details (or reservation number) is displayed on the smartphone, the POS terminal 20 can check the QR code displayed on the smartphone. Determine whether or not the QR code is recognized.

Step S201: The POS terminal 20 registers and displays products based on the reservation information acquired in step S200. For example, when the POS terminal 20 recognizes a QR code that encodes the reservation details (reserver ID, reservationr name, product name of the reserved product, price, quantity, payment status, etc.), the POS terminal 20 The customer's name, etc. are stored in a storage unit (RAM 203 (or hard disk 204)) and displayed on a display unit (customer side display unit 205, clerk side display unit 210). As another example, when the POS terminal 20 recognizes a QR code that encodes a reservation number, the POS terminal 20 may display the reservation details (reserver ID, reservation user name, product name of the reserved product, price) identified by the reservation number. , quantity, payment status, etc.) from an external server, store the product name of the reserved product in the storage unit (RAM 203 (or hard disk 204)), and display it on the display unit (customer side display unit 205, clerk side display unit). section 210). Then, the process advances to step S202.

Note that each process in steps S202 to S205 is the same as each process in steps S102 to S105 shown in FIG. 6, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Further, the CPU 251 stores the weight of the product calculated as described above in the storage section (RAM 253 (or hard disk 254)) and displays it on the display section (customer side display section 255, clerk side display section 260).

FIG. 20 is a display example on the POS terminal 21. Specifically, FIG. 20 shows a table on the POS terminal 21 in a situation where three bulk products (chili shrimp, seasonal salad, and university sweet potato) and three regular products (canned beer, mixed nuts, and vegetable juice) are registered. This is an example.

In FIG. 20, the first display area R12 is an area that displays information regarding products sold by weight. In the example shown in FIG. 20, information regarding shrimp chili (code u1), information regarding seasonal salad (code u2), information regarding university sweet potato (code u3), and subtotal sold by weight (code v) are displayed. The subtotal sold by weight (symbol v) is information regarding the subtotal (total) of products sold by weight.

The second display area R13 is an area that displays information regarding regular products (products not sold by weight). In the example shown in FIG. 20, information regarding canned beer (symbol w1), information regarding mixed nuts (symbol w2), information regarding vegetable juice (symbol w3), and non-weighted sales subtotal (symbol x) are displayed. The non-weight sale subtotal (symbol x) is information regarding the subtotal (total) of regular products.

The most recently registered product display area R3 is an area that displays information regarding the most recently registered product. In the example shown in FIG. 20, information regarding the most recently registered vegetable juice is displayed. The total display area R4 is an area that displays information regarding the total. In the example shown in FIG. 20, a total score of "6" and a total amount of "¥1,589" are displayed.

The button area R14 is an area where buttons and the like corresponding to individual products and the like are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 20, a green tea button B14, an oolong tea button B15, and a vegetable juice button B16 are displayed. The subtotal button B9 is a button that is operated when completing product registration.

Note that the POS terminal 21 may display the information in the first display area R12 and the information in the second display area R13 in different display modes. In the example shown in FIG. 20, the POS terminal 21 displays the product names of the products (shrimp chili, seasonal salad, and university sweet potato) in the first display area R12 in the first background color, while the second display area R12 displays the product names in the first display area R12. The product names of the products (canned beer, mixed nuts, vegetable juice) in area R13 are displayed in the second background color. In addition, in the first display area R12, information about the product (codes u1, u2, u3) and retail sales subtotal (code v) are displayed following the rectangular mark, whereas in the second display area R13, a circular mark Following this, information regarding the products (symbols w1, w2, w3) and non-weighted sales subtotal (symbol x) are displayed.

Note that if a set discount is established in the example shown in FIG. 20, the products constituting the set discount will be sold at a common third It may be displayed in a background color (a background color that is different from the first background color described above and the second background color described above).

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the specific configuration is not limited to the above embodiment, and includes designs within a range that does not depart from the gist of the present invention.

For example, in the example shown in Figure 8, products registered by image recognition (curry bread, melon bread, mini red bean paste) and products registered by methods other than image recognition (black tea) are displayed in separate display areas (specifically Specifically, products registered through image recognition are displayed in the first display area R1, and products registered through methods other than image recognition are displayed in the second display area R2. There is no need to separate display areas for products registered by methods other than image recognition. Even if you do not separate the display areas for products registered using image recognition and products registered using methods other than image recognition, you can still display whether the product was registered using image recognition or a method other than image recognition. It can be recognized by the aspect (first background color, second background color) or mark (circular mark, rectangular mark). However, it is easier to understand if the display areas are divided. Examples of reserved products (three-tiered osechi, etc.) and regular products (canned beer, etc.) shown in Figure 14, and reserved products (Idol N - LIVE ticket D1, etc.) and regular products (special project lottery) shown in Figure 16. The same applies to the example shown in FIG. 20, and the example of sold-by-weight products (e.g. shrimp chili) and regular products (e.g. canned beer) shown in FIG.

Note that the above also applies when there is a set discount. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, even if the display areas of products registered by image recognition and products registered by methods other than image recognition are not separated, it is possible to determine whether the products are registered by image recognition or by methods other than image recognition. Whether the product is registered or has a set discount can be determined by the display format (first background color, second background color, third background color) and marks (circular mark, rectangular mark, etc.) It can be recognized by the star-shaped mark). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 16, even if the display areas for reserved products and regular products are not separated, it is possible to display whether the product is a reserved product, a regular product, or a product with a set discount. It can be recognized by the aspect (first background color, second background color, third background color) or mark (circular mark, square mark, star mark).

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the first display area R1 displays information regarding products registered all at once (products registered all at once by reading IC tags 63, image recognition, etc.). However, information regarding the set discount may be further displayed in the area R1. For example, information on curry bread (symbol a1) and information on melon bread (symbol A mark (such as a star mark) may be attached in association with a2). The same holds true for reserved products (FIGS. 12 to 17) and sold-by-weight products (FIGS. 18 to 20).

In addition, in the examples shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the product (bread) to be registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition) is registered using another method (for example, a button corresponding to the product). Although it is assumed that the products are not registered, products that are registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition) may be registered using other methods. That is, a "bread" tab may be provided in the region R5, and a button corresponding to curry bread, a button corresponding to melon bread, etc. may be displayed in the region R5. In relation to the above, for products that can be registered using IC tags 63 (or image recognition), other methods may be used only after they have actually been registered using IC tags 63 (or image recognition). You may permit the registration that was used. In other words, for products that can be registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition), other methods may be used before they are actually registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition). It may also be possible to prohibit such registration. Specifically, buttons corresponding to breads that have already been registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition) may be displayed, while buttons corresponding to breads that have not yet been registered may be hidden. . Alternatively, buttons corresponding to pans that have already been registered are displayed in a display format that allows operations to be accepted, while buttons corresponding to pans that have not yet been registered are displayed in a display format that does not allow operations (grayed down, etc.). You may. This makes it possible to prevent duplicate registration of products while improving convenience (operability such as checking registered products using buttons and changing the quantity of products using buttons). The same applies to reserved products (FIGS. 12 to 17) and sold-by-weight products (FIGS. 18 to 20).

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, regarding the set discount, the discount amount is constant regardless of the combination of sets, but the discount amount may vary depending on the combination of sets. For example, in this example, as shown in Figure 9, the combination of draft beer and curry bread and the combination of draft beer and melon bread are discounted by 30 yen, but the combination of draft beer and curry bread is discounted by 30 yen, and the combination of draft beer and melon bread is discounted by 30 yen. You may also give a discount of 10 yen.

In relation to the above, if the discount amount differs depending on the combination of sets, it may be notified that the discount amount differs depending on the combination of sets (that there are several discount amounts). For example, if the combination of draft beer and curry bread is discounted by 30 yen, and the combination of draft beer and melon bread is discounted by 10 yen, a display indicating that the discount is 30 yen (for example, a mark marked "30"), A display indicating a 10 yen discount (for example, a mark marked "10") may be displayed on the draft beer button B4 at the same time, or may be displayed in a switched manner every few seconds. In addition, instead of or in addition to displaying simultaneously (or switching display) the draft beer button B4, a mark marked "30" is displayed in association with information regarding curry bread (symbol a1), and a mark regarding melon bread is displayed. A mark labeled "30" may be displayed in association with the information (symbol a2). Note that the mark marked "10" and the mark marked "30" may be the same mark or may be different marks.

Furthermore, in the example shown in Fig. 15, each size of each product can be selected in one step (one time) by providing individual buttons for the same product in different sizes, but it is possible to select the size of each product in one step (one time). The selection may be made by multiple operations. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 15, an ice cafe (S) button B10 and an ice cafe (M) button B11 are displayed in the area R11. When the cafe button is selected, a small screen on which the size of the ice cafe can be selected may be displayed. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 7 etc., the drinks are not provided with a size, but the same applies when providing the size of the drink in the example shown in FIG. 7 etc. The same applies to variations other than size, such as the same product in different colors (each color of each product is selected in one step, but it is possible to select it in multiple steps). ).

Further, according to the example shown in FIG. 6, it does not matter which of the bread registration (step S100) and the drink registration (step S104) comes first. In the case of prohibiting (in the case of not accepting orders for drinks only), the registration of drinks may be prohibited unless bread is registered (step S100). In other words, products that are registered by scanning barcodes or products that are registered by operating a button can only be registered after products that are registered using IC tags 63 (or image recognition) are registered. You can. The same applies to products sold by weight (FIGS. 18 to 20).

Further, although it has been explained above that the product button may be displayed on the customer side display section 205, the display on the customer side display section 205 may be restricted. For example, for products that require the intervention of a store clerk (such as a drink that the clerk pours after receiving an order), a button corresponding to the product is displayed on the customer side display section 205 so that the customer can select it, and for products that do not require the intervention of a store clerk. (Regular products), the button corresponding to the product may not be displayed on the customer side display section 205. When customers freely register for regular products, there is a risk of fraud by the customer (such as fraud by operating a button for a lower-priced product that is different from the product they actually purchased) because there is no store staff involved. This is because even if a customer freely registers an intervening product, the store clerk will provide the corresponding product after the customer presses a button, so there is no risk as described above.

Furthermore, in the above, a configuration in which the reading device 60 (or image recognition device) and the POS terminal 20 are connected by wire or wirelessly has been described as a configuration in which products are registered using the IC tag 63 (or image recognition). (In other words, as a configuration for the POS terminal 20 to acquire read data (recognition data) of the IC tag 63 (or image recognition), a configuration for acquiring read data (recognition data) from the reading device 60 (or image recognition device) (FIG. 2, FIG. 4, etc.), the configuration in which the POS terminal 20 acquires the read data (recognition data) of the IC tag 63 (or image recognition) is not limited to this. The read data (recognition data) may be acquired via a medium such as a code.For example, the reading device 60 (or image recognition device) issues a medium on which the read data (recognition data) is converted into a QR code and printed. (The printing device connected to the reading device 60 (or image recognition device) may issue the medium), and the POS terminal 20 acquires the read data (recognition data) by reading the QR code on the medium. In other words, the customer hands the medium to the clerk at the POS terminal 20 (if the POS terminal 20 is in full self-mode, the customer reads the medium himself into the POS terminal 20) and uses the IC tag 63 (or image recognition). You may register products that you wish to register using a wired or wireless connection, or via a medium, taking into consideration cost, availability, hygiene, layout, etc. Although it is being considered, for example, in a case where the floor is large and there are many reading devices 60 (or image recognition devices) depending on the type of product, the latter configuration is preferable to the former configuration. is likely to be more advantageous.

Further, although the above description has been made regarding reservations for products (reserved products) (FIGS. 12 to 17), the reservation details may be changed at the time of visiting the store.

For example, when a customer uses a smartphone or PC (smartphone, etc.) to reserve (advance order) a product (lunch box, set meal, snack, etc.) at a restaurant, he or she may decide whether to order take-out or eat-in. If the customer specifies the purchase format (purchase format), the customer may be able to change the specified content (take-out or eat-in) when visiting the store. For example, when the customer visits the store, the POS terminal 20 uses the reservation information (reserver ID, reservation user name, reserved product) based on the identification information (reservation number) and QR code (registered trademark) presented by the customer. The reservation information can be displayed on the display section (customer side display section 205, clerk side display section 210) (Fig. 12). Steps S200 and S201), for example, the POS terminal 20 changes whether it is take-out or eat-in on the clerk side display section 210 based on a predetermined operation by the clerk on the registration screen displaying the reservation information. You may also display a small screen for this purpose. According to the customer's request, the clerk displays a small screen on the registration screen displaying the reservation information, and can easily change takeout to eat-in, or change eat-in to takeout on the small screen. You can In addition, customers can decide whether to choose takeout or eat-in at the time of reservation, depending on the circumstances at the time of their visit (vacant seats, customer's current mood, future plans, etc.). You can flexibly change (request a change). Note that a message may be displayed on one or both of the clerk-side display section 210 and the customer-side display section 205 to the effect that it is possible to change whether the order is take-out or eat-in. Further, instead of or in addition to the clerk-side display section 210, a small screen for changing whether to take out or eat-in may be displayed on the customer-side display section 205. In an embodiment in which a small screen for changing whether to take out or eat-in is displayed on the customer side display section 205, a button or the like for displaying the small screen may be displayed on the customer side display section 205. Further, instead of the small screen for changing whether to take out or eat in, a button (switch button, etc.) for changing whether to take out or eat in may be arranged on the registration screen. Further, instead of or in addition to the POS terminal 20, a device different from the POS terminal 20 (for example, a ticket vending machine) may be used to change the pre-specified option of take-out or eat-in.

In addition, in a system where you can change the pre-designated takeout or eat-in option at the time of your visit, if you change the takeout or eat-in option at the time of your visit, the reduced tax rate will not be applied according to the other change of takeout or eat-in option. The application will be automatically changed (reflected on the display on the registration screen) (without any operation by the store staff). In addition, apart from the non-application of the reduced tax rate (in addition to the non-application of the reduced tax rate), if there is something related to take-out or eat-in (different depending on whether it is take-out or eat-in), Automatically change according to changes in the eat-in or another. For example, if the selling price differs depending on whether the item is takeout or eat-in, the selling price may be automatically changed according to another change of whether the item is take-out or eat-in. In addition, if the conditions (presence, content) of the set discount differ depending on whether the item is take-out or eat-in, the conditions of the set discount may be automatically changed according to another change between take-out and eat-in. For example, the erasure/display of the star mark indicating the existence of a set discount may be changed, or the discount amount indicated by the star mark may be changed. Furthermore, if different points are set depending on whether the item is take-out or eat-in, the points may be changed in accordance with another change between take-out and eat-in. Further, if a special charge (packaging charge, seat charge, etc.) is set depending on whether the order is take-out or eat-in, the special charge may be changed in accordance with another change between take-out and eat-in. In addition, in the mode of reserving seats when making a reservation for eat-in (for example, a mode in which a customer can reserve the time and number of people to visit as reservation information, and the store reserves seats according to the reservation information), it is important to note whether it is take-out or eat-in. Seat reservations may be automatically canceled/new reservations may be set according to other changes.

In addition, in cases where the conditions for set discounts, points awarded, etc. are changed in accordance with other changes to take-out or dine-in, the conditions for set discounts, points awarded, etc. will be changed in accordance with other changes to take-out or eat-in. (It may be notified whether the customer's profit decreases or increases, or it may be notified only when the customer's profit decreases.) . For example, when there is an operation to change whether to take out or eat in, instead of immediately changing whether to take out or eat in, it is notified that the conditions of the set discount, points awarded, etc. will be changed, and , OK button, etc. may be used to actually change whether the order is for take-out or eat-in.

In addition, as an example in which the reservation details can be changed at the time of visiting the store, an example has been described in which the reservation details are based on takeout or eat-in (sales format), but the reservation details that can be changed are not limited to this. The selling price may change, but if the selling price does not change, it may be possible to change whether the beverage is iced or hot, whether the sauce is added to the snack, etc.
