BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration device that executes various sales operations using product information stored in a price lookup memory.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Currently, product sales registration devices are used to efficiently conduct sales operations. This product sales registration device stores a plurality of product information including product names, unit prices, etc. using a PLU (price lookup memory).
Sales operations are performed by recording predetermined product information in the PLU (Price Look Up), calling up predetermined product information as appropriate from this PLU, and outputting and displaying it on a display device.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By managing product information using the PLU as described above, the efficiency of sales operations can be improved.

[0004] The above-mentioned product sales registration device is also used, for example, at a shop in an international airport, but in such cases, it is necessary to carry out sales operations to customers of multiple nationalities. Become. However, since conventional product sales registration devices are designed to support only one Japanese language, customers may not be able to confirm the product information output and displayed on the display device, creating a sense of distrust. undesirable.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A price lookup memory is provided in which a plurality of product information each including at least a product name is recorded, and an information selection means is provided for selecting predetermined product information from the price lookup memory. In a product sales registration device equipped with a display device for outputting and displaying the product information selected by the information selection means, a conversion table in which each product information is recorded in a plurality of languages is provided in advance, and the product information output and displayed on the display device is provided. Display conversion includes a request detection means for detecting a request for conversion of a Japanese language, reads product information identical to the product information outputted to a display device in the Japanese language detected by the request detection means from a conversion table, and outputs and displays it on the display device. We have provided means.

[0006]

[Operation] Each piece of product information is recorded in a conversion table in advance in multiple national languages, and when the request detection means detects a request to convert the product information output and displayed on the display device into the Japanese language, the product information in this Japanese language is displayed. The conversion means reads out the conversion table and outputs and displays it on the display device, so when selling to customers of multiple nationalities, product information can be output and displayed on the display device in the national language corresponding to the customer's nationality. can do.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A product sales registration device according to the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. First, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the electronic price scale 1, which is a product sales registration device, has keyboards 3, 4 and a receipt printer 5 arranged side by side on the front side of a main body housing 2, and a display device on the rear side. A display 6 is erected, and a tray 8 of a weighing section 7 for measuring the weight of articles is provided on the top surface. Here, the keyboard 3 is formed of a numeric keypad or the like for general sales use, and as illustrated in FIG. It is made up of a national language designation key 10 on which the names of each language are written. In addition, in this electronic fare scale 1, as illustrated in FIG.
The various members 3 to 7 and the RAM (Random Access Memory)
y) 12 and ROM (Read Only Mem)
ory) 13 etc. are connected. As illustrated in FIG. 4, this ROM 13 has a conversion table 14 in which product names are recorded in English, Chinese, and Korean, and the RAM 12 has product information containing each product name. A PLU has been formed that records the .

[0008] With such a configuration, in this electronic fare scale 1, as illustrated in the flowchart of FIG. Product information is read out and displayed on the display 6, and the selling price of the product is calculated through arithmetic processing such as weighing. In this state, when an issuance request is input by operating the keyboard 3, the receipt printer 5 issues a receipt and the registration work is completed.

[0009] For example, if the operator confirms that the customer is Chinese or Korean, the operator operates the Japanese language designation key 10 on the keyboard 4 with the sales price calculated and selects the Chinese language. or Korean. Then, under the control of the CPU 11 that has detected this operation input, a product name in a predetermined Japanese language is selected from the conversion table 14 and set in the display buffer in the RAM 12, and this is output and displayed on the display 6, so that the customer can also see the product name and the product name. You will be able to check the sales price, etc. Therefore, the registration work is completed in the same way as described above. In other words, this electronic price scale 1 can output and display product information on the display 6 in the Japanese language that corresponds to the customer's nationality, thereby preventing the customer from feeling distrustful due to being unable to confirm the product information. Sales operations can be performed with high reliability in various situations.

0010

As described above, the present invention provides a price lookup memory in which a plurality of pieces of product information each including at least a product name is recorded, and an information selection means for selecting predetermined product information from this price lookup memory. In a product sales registration device that is provided with a display device that outputs and displays the product information selected by the information selection means, a conversion table in which each product information is recorded in a plurality of languages in advance is provided, and the product information is output and displayed on the display device. A request detecting means is provided to detect a request for converting the product information into the Japanese language, and the same product information as the product information output to the display device in the Japanese language detected by the request detecting means is read from the conversion table and output to the display device. By providing a display conversion means, when selling to customers of multiple nationalities, it is possible to output and display product information on the display device in the national language corresponding to the customer's nationality. This has the effect of preventing customers from feeling distrustful because they are unable to confirm product information, and making it possible to conduct sales operations with high reliability in various situations.
