Here, the PO shown in one embodiment of the present invention
A description will be given of a specific example of business condition setting as a customer operation correspondence accompanying process in a store where the S terminal 1 is used. First, when a specific product (here, food, for example) is registered for sale, a lottery is performed to provide a prize to a lottery winner. Second
In addition, a "set amount 1", for example, for a customer who purchases 1,000 yen or more in one transaction, a parking lot service ticket is set in accordance with the customer's request. Third, for a “set amount 2”, for example, for a customer who purchases 1,500 yen or more in one transaction, “prize A”, “prize B”, and “gold voucher” are selected according to the customer's selection designation. Is set to issue one of the vouchers. Fourth, at the time of credit payment sales transaction,
The setting is made so as to prompt the customer to key in the personal identification number through the display screen 15 as shown in the display example of (d).

The conditions for issuing a lottery ticket, a parking lot service ticket, a cash voucher or a voucher (specific product, set amount 1, set amount 2) can be arbitrarily changed by changing the setting.

In accordance with such a condition setting example, the display condition data area 17b in the screen display information storage area 16
Stores condition data such as “specific product code”, “set amount 1 or more”, “set amount 2 or more”, and “credit key”. The display screen No. is displayed in the screen display key type area 17e. Regarding No. 1, customer operation keys such as “Card A”, “Card B” and “Card C”, and the display screen No. With regard to 2, the customer operation keys such as “parking ticket key” and “parking ticket unnecessary key”, and the display screen No. With respect to No. 3, customer operation keys such as "prize A", "prize B", and "gold note", and display screen No. "* Key" for 4
Customer operation keys of “# key” and “numeric keypad” are respectively stored. Note that “card A” to “card C” are customer operation keys used on the display screen 15 for lottery,
In the command parameter area 19c in the touch panel information storage area 18, a hit command parameter is assigned to only one key type corresponding to "hit" among these "card A", "card B", and "card C". (FIG. 5 shows an example in which “hit” is assigned to card B). Each time one transaction is completed, the hit command parameter is randomly switched and set based on a random number or the like. .

The control process of the customer display unit 6 and the like accompanying the merchandise sales registration business will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. First, in step S1, for example, when a product code is input from the barcode scanner 8 at a subtotal amount of money of 0 in the work area and the product sales registration of one transaction is started, a product file is searched based on the product code. Then, it is determined whether there is product data corresponding to the product code (S3), and if there is no corresponding product data, an error is notified (S4). If there is corresponding product data, it is determined whether the product is a specific product by referring to the display condition data area 17b in the screen display information storage area 16 (S5). If it is a specific product, display screen N
o. One process is executed (S6). Thereafter, regardless of whether the product is a specific product or not, a normal sales registration process is performed on the product (S7), the subtotal amount at that time is calculated and displayed on the display units 5 and 6, and the receipt is received by the printer 9. Printing is performed sequentially on paper and journal paper (S
8). In the display examples of FIGS. 3A to 3C, “Food 7
80, a product sales registration confirmation display including the subtotal amount is shown at the top of the display screen 15. In the subsequent sales registration process, when the product other than the specific product has already been registered for sale and the subtotal amount is "860 yen", the food product of the specific product "780 yen" is sold and registered. It will be explained first.

Next, it is determined whether or not the subtotal amount has reached the "set amount 1" set in the display condition data area 17b in the screen display information storage area 16 (S9). If the amount has reached “set amount 1”, the display screen No. Two processes are executed (S10). Similarly,
It is determined whether or not the subtotal amount at that time has reached the "set amount 2" set in the display condition data area 17b in the screen display information storage area 16 (S11). When the “set amount 2” has been reached, the display screen No. Three processes are executed (S12).

Such a control process is repeated every time a product code is input until a subtotal key for declaring temporary closing of one transaction is operated.

Here, the display screen No. Processes 1 to 3 will be described. First, the display screen when the registered product is a specific product
No. One process is executed according to a subroutine shown in FIG. In step S41, the display screen No. is referred to by referring to the displayed flag area 17c in the screen display information storage area 16.
It is determined whether the displayed flag corresponding to 1 has been reset. If not reset, the process ends. This is the display screen No. This is to prevent a lottery from being executed again in one transaction if a hit is made by a lottery based on one process. If the displayed flag is reset, the screen display information storage area 16
Referring to the data in the screen display data area 17d and the screen display key type area 17e in the middle, the display screen 15 of the display example as shown in FIG. 3A appears (S42). That is, the card A key 20a indicated by hatching a rectangular area,
The card B key 20b and the card C key 20c are displayed on the display screen 15 as customer operation keys for lottery. The processing in step S42 is executed as key display means. As a result, the fact that the prize will be provided to the customer who purchased the product in a lottery manner is displayed on the customer side display section 6, and the user must press any area of the keys 20a to 20c. Is indicated.

Therefore, the customer can select one of the keys 20a-20
When it is recognized that the touch panel 7 on c has been pressed (S
43) The key is recognized based on the pressed portion and the information in the screen display key type area 17e in the screen display information storage area 16, and the touch panel information storage area 18
It is determined whether or not the operated key 20a, 20b or 20c is "hit" by referring to the information in the command parameter area 19c therein (S44). If a command parameter indicating "hit" is written in the command parameter area 19c corresponding to the key 20a, 20b or 20c operated by the customer, it is determined as "hit" and the screen display information storage area 16 The command parameters are written in the selected command parameter area 17f (S4
5) In addition, "hit" is displayed on the display screen 15. Then, a displayed flag is set in the displayed flag area 17c in the screen display information storage area 16 (S4).
6). On the other hand, the key 20a, 20b or 2 operated by the customer
If the command parameter indicating "hit" is not written in the command parameter area 19c corresponding to 0c, it is determined to be "losing", and nothing is stored in the selected command parameter area 17f in the screen display information storage area 16. Without writing, "outside" is displayed on the display screen 15 and the processing ends. In this case, since the displayed flag is not set in the displayed flag area 17c in the screen display information storage area 16, if the specific merchandise is registered again and the lottery condition is satisfied during one transaction, the lottery is performed again. I can do it.

Next, the display screen No. when the subtotal amount at a certain point has reached the set amount 1 is displayed. The two processes are executed according to a subroutine shown in FIG. In step S51, the display screen No. is referred to by referring to the displayed flag area 17c in the screen display information storage area 16. It is determined whether or not the displayed flag corresponding to No. 2 has been reset. If not reset, the process ends. This is to avoid the inconvenience that a number of parking lot service tickets are issued by one transaction and the complexity of inquiring about the necessity of a parking ticket every time each individual product is registered. As a result, whether or not a parking ticket is necessary is inquired only once when the conditions for issuing the parking lot service ticket are satisfied. If the displayed flag is reset, the screen display data area 17d in the screen display information storage area 16
The display screen 15 of the display example as shown in FIG. 3B is displayed with reference to the data in the screen display key type area 17e (S52). That is, the parking ticket key 21a and the parking ticket unnecessary key 21b indicated by circled characters are displayed on the display screen 15 as customer operation keys. The processing in step S52 is executed as key display means. As a result, the fact that the parking lot service ticket is issued to the customer in response to the request is displayed on the customer side display unit 6. Therefore, the customer presses the parking ticket key 21a if the parking lot service ticket is required, and presses the parking ticket unnecessary key 21b if the parking lot service ticket is unnecessary.

In any case, when it is recognized that the customer has pressed the touch panel 7 on the parking ticket key 21a or the parking ticket unnecessary key 21b (S53), the pressed portion and the screen display key in the screen display information storage area 16 are recognized. Type area 17e
The key is recognized based on the information. Then, the command parameters in the command parameter area 19c corresponding to the parking ticket key 21a or the parking ticket unnecessary key 21b operated by the customer are written in the selected command parameter area 17f in the screen display information storage area 16 (S54). Displayed flag area 17c in storage area 16
Is set (S55), and the process ends.

Further, the subtotal amount at a certain time is equal to the set amount 2
Screen No. when it reaches to The three processes are executed according to a subroutine shown in FIG. In step S61, the displayed flag area 17c in the screen display information storage area 16
, And refer to the display screen No. It is determined whether the displayed flag corresponding to No. 3 has been reset. If not reset, the process ends. This is to avoid inconvenience that a number of vouchers are issued by one transaction. Thus, the selection of the prizes A and B and the cash voucher is inquired only once when the conditions for issuing the voucher are satisfied. If the displayed flag has been reset, the data in the screen display data area 17d and the screen display key type area 17e in the screen display information storage area 16 is referred to as shown in FIG.
The display screen 15 of the display example as shown in (c) appears (S62). That is, the prize A key 22a and the prize B key 2
2b and the voucher key 22c are displayed on the display screen 15 as customer operation keys. The processing in step S62 is executed as key display means. As a result, the fact that a prize or a voucher is provided to the customer in accordance with the selection is displayed on the customer side display section 6. Therefore, the customer presses the prize A key 22a if he wants the prize A, presses the prize B key 22b if he wants the prize B, and presses the voucher key 22c if he wants the voucher.

In any case, the customer can select any key 22a
When it is recognized that the touch panel 7 on the touch panel 22c has been pressed (S63), the key is recognized based on the pressed portion and the information in the screen display key type area 17e in the screen display information storage area 16. The pressed keys 22a, 22a
The part b or 22c indicates that the operation has been performed by switching to the reverse display state. Then, the command parameter in the command parameter area 19c corresponding to the key 22a, 22b or 22c operated by the customer is written in the selected command parameter area 17f in the screen display information storage area 16 (S64). Is set in the displayed flag area 17c (S65), and the process ends.

Thereafter, the merchandise sales registration work proceeds, and when it is recognized that the subtotal key has been pressed on the keyboard 4 (S13), it is checked whether the subtotal amount up to that time is 0 (S14), and the subtotal amount is checked. Is 0, an error is notified (S
15) Prompt for re-registration. If the subtotal amount is not 0, the final subtotal amount at that time is printed on receipt paper and journal paper by the printer 9 (S1).
6) Further, a tax amount such as a consumption tax is calculated based on the subtotal amount, displayed on the display units 5 and 6, and printed on receipt paper and journal paper by the printer 9 (S).
17). Then, the final total transaction amount of one transaction is calculated, displayed on the display units 5 and 6, and printed on receipt paper and journal paper by the printer 9 (S1).
8).

Next, when the credit key is depressed on the keyboard 4 at the closing stage (S19), referring to the data in the screen display data area 17d and the screen display key type area 17e in the screen display information storage area 16. FIG.
The display screen 15 of the display example as shown in (d) appears (S20). That is, * key 23a, # key 23b, 0
Display keys 1 to 9 are used as customer operation keys
5 is displayed. At this time, a digit display unit 2 indicating the number of input digits
4 is also displayed. The processing in step S20 is executed as key display means. At this point, the total amount and the tax amount are displayed instead of the subtotal amount. Then, in order for the customer to input the password, the ten-key 23c
Upon recognizing that the upper touch panel 7 has been pressed (S2
1) Recognizing the key based on the pressed portion and the information in the screen display key type area 17e in the screen display information storage area 16. Then, it is determined whether or not a numerical value having a predetermined number of digits (here, four digits) has been input as a password (S2).
2). Here, every time a numerical value is input by the ten keys 23c, the display digit of the digit display section 24 advances by one digit, and the current input digit is specified. FIG. 3D shows a state where the second digit is input. When a predetermined number of digits is entered as a password, the password stored in the selected command parameter area 17f in the screen display information storage area 16 is transmitted to the credit company, thereby confirming whether the password is correct or not. (S23). As a result of the approval query,
It is checked whether or not the approval has been given (S24). If the approval has not been given, an error is notified (S25). If approved, credit payment processing (selection and designation of a payment method such as lump-sum payment / multiple-payment) is performed (S26). Then, the printed receipt paper is cut and a receipt is issued (S
27). Here, in the case of credit payment, a credit slip on which the transaction total amount, the selected payment method, and the like are printed is also issued.

On the other hand, in the closing stage, if the credit key is not operated and the deposit / current total key is operated (S28), subsequently, it is determined whether or not the deposit amount received from the customer has been input (S29). If the deposit amount is entered by key, the deposit amount is displayed on the display units 5 and 6 and printed on receipt paper or journal paper by the printer 9 (S30). The change amount is calculated by subtracting the total transaction amount from the deposit amount, and the change amount is displayed on the display unit 5,
6 and printed on receipt paper or journal paper by the printer 9 (S31). At this stage,
If the change amount is negative (minus) (S32), it means that the amount of the deposit from the customer is insufficient, and the payment of the insufficient amount is awaited. If the change amount is not negative, the flow shifts to a receipt issuing process (S27).

Thereafter, when the receipt issuing process is executed, it is checked whether or not there is data to be written in the selected command parameter area 17f in the screen display information storage area 16 (S33). The print processing of the service ticket is performed based on the command parameter (S34). For example, if "hit" appears on the display screen 15 of the display example, the hit command parameter has been written in the selected command parameter area 17f, so that a service ticket as a prize voucher is issued. When the parking ticket key 21a is operated on the display screen 15 of the display example, the parking ticket command parameter is written in the selection command parameter area 17f, so that a service ticket as a parking lot service ticket is issued. In the case of the display screen 15 of the display example, a service ticket that is a voucher for the prizes A and B or a service voucher is issued. Then, each buffer area is cleared (displayed flag area 17c in screen display information storage area 16).
Is reset and the selection command parameter area 17f is cleared) (S35), and the processing of one transaction is ended.

Therefore, the processing shown in step S35 described above is a customer operation-related auxiliary processing as a predetermined auxiliary processing according to the operation of the customer operation key (touch panel 7) by the customer on the display screen 15 such as a display example. Performed selectively and automatically later by means. On the other hand, the processing shown in steps S23 to S24 is immediately executed by the customer operation corresponding processing means as a predetermined auxiliary processing according to the operation of the customer operation key by the customer on the display screen 15 of the display example.
