Description

The embodiments of the present invention relate to a product sales data processing system, a product sales data processing device and its control program, and a product sales data processing method.

Some relatively large-scale retail stores such as department stores and chain stores rank members according to preferential treatment ranks according to store usage. For example, one of a plurality of ranks is given to the member based on the cumulative purchase price of the purchased products purchased at the store. A product unit price, a discount rate, and the like are set for each preferential treatment rank.
Such retail stores handle multiple product groups (food, clothing, daily necessities, home appliances, etc.). For this reason, the commodity groups of the purchased commodities purchased by the members vary, for example, foods are purchased frequently, but daily necessities are purchased less frequently. However, with one preferential rank given to a member, it is not possible to set a high discount rate for foods that are frequently purchased and a low discount rate for daily necessities that are purchased infrequently. Therefore, it is desired to construct a system in which a preferential treatment rank is set for each of a plurality of preferential treatment groups for each member and a privilege is given according to the preferential treatment rank.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the main circuit configuration of the member server 10. As shown in FIG. Member server 10 includes processor 11 , main memory 12 , auxiliary storage device 13 , communication interface 14 and system transmission path 15 . The system transmission line 15 includes an address bus, a data bus, control signal lines and the like. Member server 10 connects processor 11 , main memory 12 , auxiliary storage device 13 and communication interface 14 to system transmission line 15 . In the member server 10, a computer is composed of a processor 11, a main memory 12, an auxiliary storage device 13, and a system transmission line 15 connecting them.

The processor 11 corresponds to the central portion of the computer. The processor 11 controls each part to implement various functions of the member server 10 according to an operating system or application program. The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

The main memory 12 corresponds to the main memory portion of the computer. Main memory 12 includes a non-volatile memory area and a volatile memory area. The main memory 12 stores an operating system or application programs in a non-volatile memory area. The main memory 12 stores, in a volatile memory area, data necessary for the processor 11 to execute processing for controlling each unit. Also, the main memory 12 uses a volatile memory area as a work area in which data is appropriately rewritten by the processor 11 . The non-volatile memory area is, for example, ROM (Read Only Memory). A volatile memory area is, for example, a RAM (Random Access Memory).

The auxiliary storage device 13 corresponds to the auxiliary storage portion of the computer. As the auxiliary storage device 13, for example, known storage devices such as EEPROM (registered trademark) (Electric Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive) may be used alone or in combination. Used. The auxiliary storage device 13 stores data used by the processor 11 in performing various processes and data generated by the processes performed by the processor 11 . The auxiliary storage device 13 may also store application programs.

The communication interface 14 is a circuit for performing data communication with other devices connected via the communication network 40 .

The member server 10 having such a configuration stores a member database 131 in the auxiliary storage device 13 . The member database 131 stores a member data record 1311 (see FIG. 3) describing member data for each member.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the data structure of the member data record 1311 stored in the member database 131. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, member data record 1311 stores member data created for each member. The member data record 1311 includes items such as member ID, name, sex, mail address, group 1 cumulative purchase amount, group 2 cumulative purchase amount, and preferential treatment rank. Items related to members are not limited to the above items.
The member ID is a member identification code that identifies each member. The group 1 accumulated purchase amount is the total amount of the products belonging to the preferential discount group 1 purchased by the member at the store. The preferential discount group 1 is one of the groups preset by the store to which the products subject to the preferential discount belong. Preferential discount group 1 will be simply referred to as group 1 below. The group 2 accumulated purchase amount is the total amount of goods belonging to the preferential discount group 2 purchased by the member at the store. The preferential discount group 2 is one of the groups preset by the store to which the products subject to the preferential discount belong. The preferential discount group 2 is hereinafter simply referred to as group 2. The preferential treatment rank is composed of a group 1 rank and a group 2 rank. The group 1 rank is a rank determined based on the group 1 cumulative purchase amount. Group 1 ranks are ranked from rank "0" to rank "p". The rank "p" is any integer greater than or equal to 1. A rank of "0" is set when the group 1 total purchase amount does not exist or when the group 1 total purchase amount does not satisfy a predetermined condition preset by the store. If the group 1 cumulative purchase amount exists and a predetermined condition is satisfied, one of the ranks from "1" to "p" is set. The higher the Group 1 accumulated purchase amount, the higher the Group 1 rank. The group 2 rank is a rank determined based on the group 2 cumulative purchase amount. Group 2 ranks are ranked from rank "0" to rank "q". The rank "q" is any integer greater than or equal to 1. Rank "0" is set when the group 2 cumulative purchase amount does not exist or when the group 2 cumulative purchase amount does not satisfy a predetermined condition preset by the store. If the group 2 cumulative purchase amount exists and a predetermined condition is satisfied, any one rank from rank "1" to rank "q" is set. The higher the group 2 accumulated purchase amount, the higher the group 2 rank. In this way, members are assigned ranks for each group.

In this embodiment, the preferential rank is a two-digit numerical value. The tens digit indicates the Group 1 rank. Numbers in ones place indicate Group 2 rank. For example, if the preferential rank is "12", it means that the group 1 rank is "1" and the group 2 rank is "2". For example, if the preferential rank is "03", it means that the group 1 rank is "0" and the group 2 rank is "3". For example, if the preferential rank is "20", it means that the group 1 rank is "2" and the group 2 rank is "0".

In this way, the member database 131 functions as a second storage unit that stores the preferential treatment rank for each preferential discount group in correspondence with the member identification code that identifies each member, that is, the member ID. The second storage means can be rephrased as a second storage section.

Also, the main memory 22 uses a volatile memory area as a work area in which data is appropriately rewritten by the processor 21 . The non-volatile memory area is, for example, ROM. A volatile memory area is, for example, a RAM.

The auxiliary storage device 23 corresponds to the auxiliary storage portion of the computer. As the auxiliary storage device 23, well-known storage devices such as EEPROM, HDD, SSD, etc. are used singly or in combination. The auxiliary storage device 23 stores data used by the processor 21 for various processes and data generated by the processes performed by the processor 21 . The auxiliary storage device 23 may also store application programs.

The communication interface 24 is a circuit for performing data communication with other devices connected via the communication network 40 .

The store server 20 having such a configuration stores a single-item master file 231 (see FIG. 5) in the auxiliary storage device 23 .

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the data structure of the single item data record 2311 stored in the single item master file 231. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the single item data record 2311 stores single item data generated for each single item. The item data record 2311 includes items such as item code, category code, product name, and unit price. Note that the items related to single items are not limited to the above items.
The item code is a unique identification code set for each item. A single item is one item of a product. Many products have a product barcode obtained by converting the single product code of the product into a barcode. The classification code is an identification code representing the classification to which the product identified by the corresponding single item code belongs. Classification is the type of product. Classifications include, for example, food, clothing, daily necessities, home electric appliances, and the like. Furthermore, the classification may be subdivided into foods such as fresh foods, processed foods, beverages, confectionery, and the like. The same applies to clothing, daily necessities, home electric appliances, and the like. A unique classification code is set in advance for each classification. The unit price is the amount per item of the product.

Returning to the description of FIG.
The store server 20 having such a configuration stores a part of the volatile memory area in the main memory 22 as a linking table 221 (see FIG. 6), a group 1 table 222 (see FIG. 7), and a group 2 table 223 (see FIG. 8). (see ). The store server 20 forms a linking table 221, a group 1 table 222 and a group 2 table 223 in this area.

As shown in FIG. 6, the linking table 221 is a data table describing preferential discount groups corresponding to classification codes. Group 1 or group 2 is described in the preferential discount group. If the classification code corresponding to the product belongs to group 1, group 1 is described in the preferential discount group. If the classification code corresponding to the product belongs to group 2, group 2 is described in the preferential discount group.

The third storage means stores one of the preferential discount groups corresponding to each product to which the preferential discount is applied. That is, the third storage means has a function of storing the linking table 221 . The third storage means can be rephrased as a third storage section.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the group 1 table 222. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the group 1 table 222 is a data table describing the group 1 discount rate corresponding to the group 1 rank. The group 1 discount rate is a discount rate when products belonging to group 1 are sold to corresponding members of group 1 rank "1" to rank "p". The higher the Group 1 rank, the greater the Group 1 discount rate.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the group 2 table 223. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the group 2 table 223 is a data table describing the group 2 discount rate corresponding to the group 2 rank. The group 2 discount rate is a discount rate when products belonging to group 2 are sold to members of corresponding group 2 ranks "1" to "q". The higher the Group 2 rank, the greater the Group 2 discount rate.

In this way, the group 1 table 222 and the group 2 table 223 function as first storage means for storing discount rates for each preferential treatment rank corresponding to two or more kinds of preferential discount groups. The first storage means can be rephrased as a first storage section.

11 and 12 are flowcharts showing main control procedures executed by the processor 311 in the accounting machine 30 according to the control program. 13 and 14 are flowcharts showing main control procedures executed by the processor 11 in the member server 10 according to the control program.

The main operations of the product sales data processing system S will be described below using these flow charts. Note that the operation described below is an example. The procedure is not particularly limited as long as similar results can be obtained.

First, when the checkout machine 30 in the store is started up, the processor 311 starts information processing according to the procedure shown in the flow chart of FIG.
In this embodiment, the accounting machine 30 acquires the linking table 221 in advance from the store server 20 by the function of the first acquiring unit 3112 and stores the linking table 221 in a part of the volatile memory area in the main memory 312. 221 is stored. Also, the accounting machine 30 acquires the group 1 table 222 and the group 2 table 223 from the store server 20 in advance, and stores the group 1 table 222 and the group 2 table 223 in a part of the volatile memory area in the main memory 312. shall be

When the member who is the purchaser finishes shopping, he or she goes to the checkout counter to checkout. A member possesses a membership card in which his or her member ID is recorded. The processor 311 waits for the membership card data to be read by the scanner 318 or the reader 320 as ACT1. If the membership card data has been read, the processor 311 determines YES in ACT1 and proceeds to ACT2.

The processor 311 controls the communication interface 316 to transmit the member command to the member server 10 as ACT2. This control causes communication interface 316 to transmit a member command. The membership command includes the membership ID of the membership card read by scanner 318 or reader 320 .

Upon receiving the member command, the processor 11 of the member server 10 starts command reception processing of the procedure shown in the flow chart of FIG.

The processor 11 detects the member ID from the member command as ACT31. Then, the processor 11 authenticates the member identified by the member ID as ACT32. Specifically, processor 11 checks whether member data record 1311 containing the member ID exists in member database 131 .

If the corresponding member data record 1311 does not exist in the member database 131, the processor 11 determines NO in ACT32 and proceeds to ACT33. Processor 11 controls communication interface 14 to send a negative response command to accounting machine 30 as ACT 33 . A denial response command is transmitted from the communication interface 14 by this control. The deny response command is received at accounting machine 30 via communication network 40 .

If the applicable member data record 1311 exists in member database 131, processor 11 determines YES in ACT32 and proceeds to ACT34. Processor 11 obtains the preferential rank stored in the applicable member data record 1311 as ACT34.

Processor 11 controls communication interface 14 to send an authorization response command to accounting machine 30 as ACT 35 . This control causes the communication interface 14 to transmit an approval response command. The authorization response command is received at accounting machine 30 via communications network 40 . The approval response command includes the member ID and the preferential rank.

In this way, the member server 10 that has received the member command transmits a denial or approval response command in ACT 33 or ACT 35 to the accounting machine 30 that sent the member command. When the processor 11 finishes sending any response command, it ends the member command reception process.

Returning to the description of FIG.
The processor 311 of the accounting machine 30 that has controlled transmission of the member command in ACT2 waits for an approval response command from the member server 10 in ACT3. When receiving a denial response command from the member server 10, the processor 311 determines NO in ACT3 and returns to ACT1.

When receiving an approval response command from the member server 10, the processor 311 determines YES in ACT3 and proceeds to ACT4. The processor 311 stores the preferential rank included in the approval response command in the main memory 312 by the function of the second obtaining means 3113 as ACT4. Processor 311 also stores the member ID included in the approval response command in main memory 312 .

The processor 211 causes the touch panel 317 to display a purchase registration screen as ACT5. The purchase registration screen has an area for displaying the product name, purchase price, and total price of the product registered for purchase.

The processor 311 confirms whether or not purchase registration has been performed by the function of the reception means 3111 in ACT6. Specifically, when the scanner 318 reads the barcode of the purchased product or detects that the button for the product without a barcode is touched by a signal from the touch panel 317, the processor 311 recognizes that the purchased product has been registered. do.

If purchase registration has been performed, the processor 311 determines YES in ACT6 and proceeds to ACT8 in FIG.

The processor 311 detects the single product code as ACT8. The processor 311 inquires of the store server 20 about the single item data record 2311 using the single item code as ACT9. In response to this inquiry, the shop server 20 extracts from the single item master file 231 the single item data record 2311 in which the inquired single item code is stored, and transmits the single item data record 2311 to the accounting machine 30 . Processor 311 thus waits to receive item data record 2311 as ACT10. If the single item data record 2311 is received, the processor 311 determines YES in ACT10 and proceeds to ACT11.

The processor 311 confirms whether or not the classification code described in the same line as the single item code stored in the single item data record 2311 as ACT11 exists in the linking table 221 . If the classification code does not exist in the linking table 221, the processor 311 determines NO in ACT11 and proceeds to ACT17.

Processor 311 writes the sales data to transaction memory 3121 as ACT17. In this case, since the classification code does not exist in the linking table 221, the purchased product does not belong to the preferential discount group. Therefore, "0" is set in the preferential discount group of the transaction memory 3121. FIG. A NULL value is set for the group 1 discount amount and the group 2 discount amount.

The processor 311 updates the purchase registration screen as ACT18. That is, the processor 311 updates the purchase registration screen so that the product name, unit price, points, and purchase price of the product registered for purchase are added, and the purchase price is added to the total price.

FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the receipt 100. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the receipt 100 is printed with detailed information and accounting information of the purchased product. When there is a purchased product to which a preferential discount is applied, the detailed information of the purchased product includes an image of a mark M indicating that the purchased product belongs to Group 1 or Group 2, and the Group 1 discount amount or Group 2 The discount amount, the group 1 discount rate or the group 2 discount rate, and text data describing the mark M are also displayed. The mark M is a figure for specifying the preferential discount group to which the purchased product to which the preferential discount is applied belongs. The mark M is information specifying a preferential discount group. The mark M is not limited to a figure, and may be anything that can identify each preferential discount group. In the case of FIG. 15, the product BBB is a purchased product belonging to group 1, so a circle mark is displayed as the mark M. In FIG. A group 1 discount amount calculated based on the group 1 discount rate of 4% is also displayed. Since the product EEE is a purchased product belonging to group 2, a diamond mark is displayed as the mark M. Also displayed is the Group 2 discount calculated based on the Group 2 discount rate of 3%. Since the product KKK is a purchased product to which the preferential discount is not applied, the mark M, discount amount, and discount rate are not displayed. Note that the contents of the text data and the image displayed in FIG. 15 are examples.

Returning to the description of FIG.
The processor 311 controls the communication interface 316 to transmit the update command to the member server 10 as ACT25. This control causes the communication interface 316 to send an update command. The update command includes the member ID and the group 1 cumulative purchase amount and group 2 cumulative purchase amount stored in the main memory 312 .

Upon receiving the update command, the processor 11 of the member server 10 starts command reception processing of the procedure shown in the flow chart of FIG.

The processor 11 detects the member ID from the update command as ACT41. The processor 11 then extracts the member data record 1311 corresponding to the member ID as ACT42.

Processor 11 updates membership data record 1311 as ACT 43 . Specifically, the group 1 cumulative purchase amount included in the update command is added to the group 1 cumulative purchase amount of the member data record 1311 to update the newly calculated group 1 cumulative purchase amount. Also, the group 2 total purchase price included in the update command is added to the group 2 total purchase price of the member data record 1311 to update the newly calculated group 2 total purchase price. With this, the processor 11 ends the update command reception process.

In the merchandise sales data processing system S as described above, when the member ID of the member card is read by the scanner 318 or the reader 320, the preferential rank of the member is acquired. When the purchase registration is performed, if the classification code corresponding to the single item code of the purchased product exists in the linkage table 221, it is confirmed whether the preferential discount group corresponding to the classification code is group 1 or group 2. be done. If it is Group 1 and any one of Rank "1" to Rank "p" is set as the Group 1 rank, the Group 1 discount rate corresponding to the Group 1 rank is obtained from the Group 1 table 222. be done. Then, the group 1 discount amount is calculated based on the group 1 discount rate. On the other hand, if the preferential discount group corresponding to the classification code is group 2 and any one of the ranks "1" to "q" is set as the group 2 rank, the group 2 table 223 Group 2 discount rates corresponding to the 2 ranks are obtained. Then, the group 2 discount amount is calculated based on the group 2 discount rate. Therefore, it is possible to set a preferential treatment rank for each of a plurality of preferential treatment groups for each member, and apply a preferential treatment discount according to the preferential treatment rank.

In addition, when there is a purchased product to which a preferential discount is applied, the receipt 100 further displays a mark M, a discount amount, a discount rate, and text data explaining the mark M. Therefore, the member can confirm the discounted sales data of the purchased product and the special discount group to which the purchased product belongs by means of the mark M.
