At the same time, the circuit unit 32 is connected to the communication port of the data processing device 40 from the connection connector 33 via the connection terminal 26, thereby forming a communication path between the communication unit 36 and the data processing device 40. The Communication between the circuit unit 32 and the data processing device 40 via this communication path is performed by serial communication, for example.

  Incidentally, the communication unit 41 in the data processing device 40 basically includes one communication port commonly connected to the plurality of connection terminals 26, and receives a brand code output from each circuit unit 32 from the outside. Consists of. However, when monitoring from which circuit unit 32 the brand code is output, it is desirable to provide a plurality of communication ports corresponding to each of the plurality of connection terminals 26 described above. In this case, for example, a plurality of communication ports are cyclically searched at a predetermined cycle under the control of the address management unit 42, and the communication path to the connection terminal 26 via these communication ports is connected. A communication path with the communication unit 36 of the circuit unit 32 may be cyclically formed via the connection connector 33 connected to the terminal 26.

  Note that the brand code is written into the memory 35 of the circuit unit 32 as described above when the cigarettes (commodities) S are classified and stored in a plurality of individual packaging cases 10 as shown in FIG. As an initial setting process for No. 10, it is performed by presetting the stock code, respectively (Step S1). For example, each individual packaging case 10 is connected to a data input terminal (not shown) for initial setting, and the brand code of the cigarette (product) S accommodated in the individual packaging case 10 is input from the data input terminal. It ’s fine.

  Alternatively, prior to the sale of the cigarette (product) S, for example, a plurality of individual packaging cases 10 storing the cigarettes (product) S for each brand are mounted on the tray 20, and first, the individual packaging cases 10 on the tray 20 are mounted. The brand code C of the cigarette (product) S stored in the individual packaging case 10 in association with the mounting position A is sequentially input to the brand management unit 43 of the data processing device 40. Then, referring to the brand management unit 43 while sequentially specifying the connection terminal 26 (communication port) corresponding to the placement position of the individual packaging case 10 on the tray 20 under the control of the address management unit 42, The brand code C associated with the mounting position A of each individual packaging case 10 on the tray 20 may be obtained and sequentially registered in the memory 35 of the corresponding individual packaging case 10.

  After the brand code C of the cigarette (product) S stored in the individual case 10 is registered in the memory 35 of each individual case 10 as described above, the cigarette (product) S is displayed and sold by the present instrument. Is called. When the cigarette (product) S is pulled out (taken out) from the individual case 10, the pressing force of the take-out detection switch 31 is temporarily released, so that the take-out detection is performed as shown in FIG. The unit 34 detects the removal of the cigarette (product) S from the on / off change of the extraction detection switch 31 <step S2>. The communication unit 36 described above is triggered by the take-out detection unit 34, reads the brand code registered in the memory 35 in advance as described above, and outputs it to the outside <Step S3>.

  The brand code C output from the communication unit 36 of the individual packaging case 10 in this way is given to the communication unit 41 of the data processing device 40 via the terminal unit 26 described above, and is taken into the communication unit 41. If the communication unit 41 includes a plurality of communication ports and cyclically searches for a plurality of communication ports under the management of the address management unit 42 as described above, the communication unit 41 includes the brand code. When the sent communication port is accessed, the brand code C is acquired. At this time, the communication unit 41 obtains the number of the communication port from which the brand code C has been acquired from the address management unit 42 simultaneously with the acquisition of the brand code C. Then, this port number is detected as the mounting position A on the tray 20 of the individual packaging case 10 to which the brand code C is output externally.

  The counting unit 44 in the data processing device 40 basically stores the cigarette (product) S of the type specified by the brand code C in the memory 45 as its sales history every time the brand code C is acquired as described above. Record. In addition, the number n sold of cigarettes (commodities) S of the type specified by the brand code C is incremented (+1). At this time, when the mounting position A on the tray 20 of the individual packaging case 10 to which the brand code C is output externally is obtained, each time the brand code C and the mounting position A are obtained, the brand code C and The sales history is stored for each sales condition specified by the mounting position A, and the sales number n is incremented (+1).

  That is, the counting unit 44 sequentially records the sales history of the cigarette (product) S in the memory 45 for each product type specified by the product code C. Further, the counting unit 44 performs cumulative processing on the number of sales for each product type based on the sales history recorded in the memory 45, or the product type specified by the product code C and the mounting position A of the individual packaging case 20. The number of cigarettes (product) S sold is cumulatively processed for each display position on the tray 20 of the specified tobacco (product) S. The information on the number of sales processed in this way is classified for each brand code C or classified for each sales condition specified by the brand code C and the mounting position A, and the memory together with the sales history described above. 45. The information recorded in the memory 45 is used for reading from an external device (not shown) via the I / O interface 46 as appropriate.

  More specifically, in the data processing device 40, when the brand code C output from the individual packaging case 10 is received as shown in FIG. 6 (step S11), the communication port (individual packaging) that received the brand code C is received. The mounting position A) of the case 20 is obtained <Step S12>. Then, it is determined whether or not the communication port is a communication port (mounting position A of the individual packaging case 20) registered in the brand management unit 43 described above (step S13).

  When the relationship between the received brand code C and the communication port (mounting position) A is registered in the brand management unit 43, the management parameter specified by the brand code C and the mounting position A is incremented. The total number of cigarettes (products) S specified by the brand code C at the mounting position A is accumulated <step S14>. At this time, the time information at which the removal of the commodity is detected is recorded as a sales history for each management item on the memory 45 specified by the brand code C and the mounting position A <step S17>.

  However, if the relationship between the received brand code C and the communication port (mounting position) A is not registered in the brand management unit 43, it is determined that the mounting position of the individual case 10 has been changed, and the brand is concerned. A management parameter specified by the code C and the new mounting position A is set <Step S15>, and this new parameter is incremented <Step S16>. At this time, a management item specified by the brand code C and the mounting position A is newly set, and the time information when the removal of the product is detected is recorded as the sales history in this management item <Step S17>. . The above processing is repeatedly executed every time the brand code C is notified from the individual packaging case 10 side.

  On the other hand, the attachment / detachment detection unit 47 provided in the data collection device 40 monitors whether the communication unit 41 described above can perform information communication with the circuit unit 32 of the individual packaging case 10 through the communication port. It has a function to do. The attachment / detachment detection unit 47 searches for a plurality of communication ports in order under the management of the address management unit 42, and can communicate with the circuit unit 32 of the individual packaging case 10 through the communication ports. <Step S21>. When it is detected that communication with the circuit unit 32 is interrupted <step S22>, it is detected that the individual unit 10 connected to the communication port has been removed from the tray 20. At the same time, the position of the individual packaging case 10 on the tray 20 is detected from the communication port number at that time.

  The removal detection information of the individual case 10 is given to the counting unit 44 described above. For example, the removal detection time information is obtained as a time stamp <step S23> and specified by the brand code C and the mounting position A described above. Is registered in the memory 45 in accordance with the sales conditions (step S34). The removal detection information of the individual case 10 indicated by the time stamp is used, for example, as a monitor of the number of product replenishment times for the individual case 10.

  Thus, according to the commodity sales fixture according to the present invention configured as described above, the memory 45 of the data collection device 40 has a placement position (commodity display position) of the individual case 10 on the tray 20 as shown in FIG. ) For each A, the brand code C of the cigarette (product) S stored in the individual packaging case 10 for display and sale is registered. The sales history is recorded for each sales condition specified by the placement position (product display position) A and the brand code C of the individual packaging case 10, and the cigarette (product) S indicated by the brand code C is also recorded. Are stored.

  When the individual case 10 is removed from the tray 20 and the product is replenished, the sales condition specified by the placement position (product display position) A and the brand code C of the individual case 10 is determined. Time stamp information indicating the removal time is registered in the memory 45. At this time, when a plurality of individual packaging cases 10 are removed from the tray 20 and unintentionally or intentionally mounted at positions different from the original placement positions (product display positions), the individual cases 10 Since the relationship between the placement position (product display position) A and the brand code C of the mounting case 10 changes, the memory 45 is newly specified by the placement position (product display position) A and the brand code C. Sales conditions are set. Then, according to the new sales conditions, the above-described total sales number processing is executed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, the individual case 10 mounted at the first stage fourth mounting position is mounted at the third stage fourth mounting position from the middle, and is mounted at the third stage fourth mounting position. The individual case 10 that has been installed is newly installed in the third stage and the third stage, and the individual case 10 that was installed in the third stage and the third stage is newly installed in the first stage and the fourth mounting position. ing. Therefore, in this case, a new brand code is associated with each of the first, fourth, third, third and fourth mounting positions where the mounting position of the individual case 10 has been changed. The record of the sales history at the position and the number of sales are accumulated.

  Thus, according to the tobacco product sales appliance configured as described above, each time the tobacco (product) S is taken out from the plurality of individual packaging cases 10 placed side by side on the tray 20, the brand code is output to the outside. C is acquired by the data processing device 40, and the data processing device 40 records the sales history for each brand code C and accumulates the number of sales, so the mounting position of the individual packaging case 10 on the tray 20 Even if the (product display position) is changed, the number of items sold for each brand can be accurately obtained.

  Further, as described above, from the position of the connection terminal 26 from which the brand code C has been acquired, a placement position (product display position) A on the tray 20 of the individual packaging case 10 from which the brand code C has been output is obtained.
