  FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing an example of receipt information. Here, the receipt information is unstructured text data or the like and is used for printing by the printer 13. As shown in FIG. 7, the receipt information includes the elements of the product sales data D1 and the member code D2 described above. Here, the product sales data D1 includes the product name (product code) of the product for which payment is made and the amount thereof, the total amount of each product, the deposit amount paid by the customer, the change amount, and the like.

  Further, the receipt information includes elements such as transaction date and time D7, transaction number (receipt number) D8, cashier number D9, and person in charge D10. Note that the elements included in the receipt information are not limited to the example of FIG. 7, and are a company code (company name), a store code (store name), a phone number of the store, an address, a business type / business code Other elements such as

  Further, when the receipt information generation unit 111 receives the pressing of the closing key, it determines that the product sales data processing for one transaction is completed, and outputs the generated receipt information together with the cut command to the receipt information output unit 112 (issue). To do. Here, the cut command is one of commonly used printer control commands and is instruction information for instructing cutting (cutting) of a sheet on which receipt information is printed. Note that the receipt information may be generated collectively when the closing key is pressed, or may be sequentially generated each time the product code or the customer code is acquired.

  The receipt information output unit 112 determines the output destination of the receipt information each time the receipt information generation unit 111 generates receipt information for one transaction. More specifically, when the receipt information generation unit 111 issues a cut command, the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the receipt information for one transaction has been generated. Then, the receipt information output unit 112 determines whether or not the generated receipt information includes the membership code, and outputs the receipt information to the output destination determined according to the determination result.

  Specifically, if the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the membership code is not included in the receipt information, the receipt information output unit 112 outputs the receipt information to the printer 13 together with the cut command. As a result, the printer 13 prints out the receipt information for one transaction by printing the receipt information on the sheet and then cutting the sheet according to the cut command. When printing out, all the elements that make up the receipt information may be printed, or the membership code may be removed or other information such as advertisement may be printed.

  When the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the receipt information includes the member code, the receipt information output unit 112 converts the receipt information into a predetermined data format according to the conversion rule of the receipt information schema 17c. Then, the receipt information output unit 112 transmits (outputs) the receipt information whose data format has been converted, that is, the electronic receipt information, to the electronic receipt server 3 that manages on a company basis according to the company code.

  Here, FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the electronic receipt information. As shown in FIG. 8, the electronic receipt information includes data (structured document) in a structured format such as XML, CSV, JSON (JavaScript (registered trademark) Object Notation). Note that FIG. 8 shows an example in which each element (D1 to D2, D7 to D10) of the receipt information shown in FIG. 7 is converted into the JSON format.

  The conversion of the receipt information into the electronic receipt information is performed based on the conversion rule described in the receipt information schema 17c. Specifically, the receipt information schema 17c defines predetermined elements that make up the receipt information and attribute information (tags, etc.) indicating the attributes of the elements. The receipt information output unit 112 generates electronic receipt information in a structured format as shown in FIG. 8 by structuring each element of the receipt information using the corresponding attribute information. By using such structured electronic receipt information, the elements included in the electronic receipt information can be efficiently used, and thus various advantages can be obtained in data management.

In addition, the receipt information output unit 112 checks, at the time of converting the receipt information into the electronic receipt information, whether or not it is necessary to inform about a predetermined element forming the receipt information. The following are specific examples of checking whether or not it is necessary to notify a predetermined element forming the receipt information.
・ The expiration date of the granted points has expired ・ Price discount purchase ・ Casher operation error

  For example, the cashier's operation mistake is when the cashier mistakenly registers a large number of products. The receipt information output unit 112 refers to the maximum purchase number stored for each individual item in the product data file. If the registered number of items included in the electronic receipt information exceeds the maximum purchase number, the cashier operation error is detected. To judge. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the quantity actually purchased is “1” but the quantity is registered as “10” due to a cashier operation error, the maximum purchase quantity is “5”. In this case, it is determined that the cashier has made an operation error, and it is necessary to inform the operator.

  Further, the receipt information output unit 112 refers to the expiration date of the points stored in the point file, determines that the expiration date of the points associated with the member code is within one month, and the expiration date is near, It is assumed that notification is necessary.

  In addition, the receipt information output unit 112 refers to the special sale information stored for each individual item in the product data file, and if the product included in the electronic receipt information is the special sale, determines that it is a discounted purchase and requires notification. Suppose

  When the check result of the predetermined elements constituting the receipt information as described above is affirmative (when it is determined that the notification is necessary), the receipt information output unit 112 makes the valid notification (for warning) Flag X is added to the electronic receipt information. The flag X for notification (warning) that has been validated may be added in association with a predetermined element for which notification is determined to be necessary.

  In this way, the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the receipt information for one transaction has been generated by the issuance of the cut command by the receipt information generation unit 111, and starts the output of the receipt information. As a result, it is not necessary for the receipt information generation unit 111 to notify the receipt information output unit 112 of a dedicated signal for instructing the end of one transaction. Therefore, the receipt information generation unit 111 corresponding to the existing application is not particularly limited. The receipt information output unit 112 can output receipt information for one transaction without changing the above. Moreover, since the changed portion of the receipt information generation unit 111 can be suppressed, it is possible to realize the output function of the electronic receipt information while efficiently utilizing the existing application.

  Further, the receipt information output unit 112 determines an output destination of the receipt information according to whether or not the receipt information includes the member code. With this, it is possible to output the paper receipt or the electronic receipt information without preparing the necessity information of the paper receipt for each customer, so that the output destination of the receipt information can be efficiently determined. Further, for example, the customer (member) can select the output of the paper receipt or the electronic receipt information by inputting or not inputting the membership code for each transaction, which improves the convenience of the customer. it can.

  Further, when outputting the receipt information to the electronic receipt server 3, the receipt information output unit 112 converts the elements included in the receipt information into structured electronic receipt information and outputs the electronic receipt information. As a result, since the elements included in the electronic receipt information can be efficiently used, the electronic receipt server 3 and the electronic receipt management server 4 that manage the electronic receipt information, and the mobile terminal that displays the electronic receipt information. 7, the convenience of electronic receipt information can be improved.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of electronic receipt processing in the POS terminal 1. First, the receipt information generation unit 111 of the POS terminal 1 determines whether the code scanner 15 has read the code symbol (product code) attached to the product or the code symbol (membership code) displayed on the mobile terminal 7. The determination is made (step S11). When the code symbol is not read (step S11; No), the receipt information generation unit 111 moves to step S16.

  On the other hand, when the receipt information generation unit 111 determines that the code symbol is read (step S11; Yes), the receipt information generation unit 111 determines whether the information acquired by the reading is a product code or a member code (step S12).

  When the product code is acquired in step S12 (step S12; product code), the receipt information generation unit 111 includes the product data when the product data is read from the product data file for the product specified by the product code. Merchandise sales data processing for calculating the payment amount based on the unit price is executed (step S13). Next, the receipt information generation unit 111 generates receipt information including the product sales data processed during the product sales data processing (step S14).

  When the membership code is acquired in step S12 (step S12; membership code), the receipt information generation unit 111 generates receipt information including the membership code (step S15).

  Here, in order to input the membership code into the POS terminal 1, for example, a customer who is a member displays a code symbol including a membership code on the display unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7, and the customer who is the clerk or the member himself or herself. It is read by the code scanner 15 of the POS terminal 1. Note that the receipt information generation unit 111 may be configured to perform exclusive processing or the like so that only one membership code can be input during one transaction.

  In subsequent step S16, the receipt information generation unit 111 determines whether or not the start of the closing process is instructed by pressing the closing key or the like (step S16). If the start of the closing process is not instructed (step S16; No), the process returns to step S11. When the start of the closing process is instructed (step S16; Yes), the receipt information generation unit 111 issues (outputs) a cut command to the receipt information output unit 112 (step S17).

  When the receipt information output unit 112 receives the cut command from the receipt information generation unit 111, the receipt information output unit 112 determines that receipt information for one transaction has been generated, and determines whether or not the receipt information includes a member code (step S18). ).

  If the receipt information does not include the membership code (step S18; No), the receipt information output unit 112 outputs the receipt information for one transaction to the printer 13 together with the cut command, thereby printing out the receipt information ( In step S19), this process ends. As a result, the printer 13 prints out the receipt information for one transaction by printing the receipt information on the sheet and then cutting the sheet according to the cut command.

  On the other hand, when the receipt information includes the membership code (step S18; Yes), the receipt information output unit 112 converts the data format of the unstructured receipt information into the structured format to convert the electronic receipt information. Generate (step S20).

  It should be noted that the receipt information output unit 112 checks, at the time of conversion of the receipt information into the electronic receipt information, whether or not it is necessary to notify a predetermined element forming the receipt information. When it is necessary to notify a predetermined element that constitutes the receipt information, the receipt information output unit 112 adds a valid notification (warning) flag X to the electronic receipt information.

  Then, the receipt information output unit 112 transmits the electronic receipt information generated via the communication I / F 16 to the electronic receipt server 3 (step S21), and ends this processing.

  In the above process, when the receipt information includes the membership code, the receipt information is output to the electronic receipt server 3, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the receipt information is output to both the printer 13 and the electronic receipt server 3. Good.

  When the receipt information includes the membership code, the output destination of the receipt information may be selectable. For example, the mobile terminal 7 may have a form in which the code symbol to be displayed holds output classification information that specifies the output destination of the receipt information, and selects the output destination based on this output classification information. In this case, the receipt information generation unit 111 includes the output category information read by the code scanner 15 in the receipt information together with the membership code. Then, when the receipt information output unit 112 determines that the membership code is included in the receipt information and determines that the output classification information exists, the receipt information output unit 112 determines the output destination of the receipt information based on the output classification information. It should be noted that either one or both of the printer 13 and the electronic receipt server 3 can be designated as the output classification information.

  Alternatively, the output destination of the receipt information may be selected each time the product is settled. When this form is used, for example, the receipt information output unit 112 displays an output destination selection screen for selecting the output destination of the receipt information on the display unit 14 when it is determined that the receipt information includes the member code. ..

  The selection screen is not limited to being displayed on the operator display 14a, but may be displayed on the customer display 14b. When the customer display 14b has a touch panel structure, the customer may select the output destination.

  Further, during the product sales data processing, the customer may confirm the output destination of the receipt information. When this form is used, the receipt information generation unit 111 displays the output destination selection screen on the display unit 14. Then, the output destination corresponding to the operated operator is included in the receipt information as output classification information. Then, when the receipt information includes the member code and the output classification information, the receipt information output unit 112 determines the output destination of the receipt information based on the output classification information.

  As described above, when the receipt information includes the membership code, the receipt information output unit 112 automatically selects the output destination of the receipt information or accepts the manual selection of the output destination. With this, the method of determining the output destination can be flexibly switched, and thus the output destination of the receipt information can be efficiently determined.
