Abstract

PURPOSE: To make it possible to order a lunch or the like from a buyer's terminal in an auction market. CONSTITUTION: When a beverage/food order is inputted from an order input part 4 in a buyer's bidding terminal 1, a display part 7 displays the contents of the order, a discriminating part 6 compares/discriminates the displayed contents with/from a menu read out from a storage part 5 and an I/O part 9 sends the compared/discriminated result and buyer's ID read out by an ID reading part 8 to a bidding server device 2, which sends these data to an order output terminal equipment 3 in an ordered restaurant. The sent signal is inputted from an I/O part 12 to a discriminating part 14 through a control part 16 and compared/discriminated with/from the code of the restaurant itself read out from a storage part 13 and the received order is printed out by a printer 15. In response to the reception of the order, the control part 16 sends a response signal to the device 2 and a prompt note is issued by a prompt note issuing part 11 annexed to the device 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an auction terminal installed at a shopper's seat, 2 is an auction server device, and 3 is an order output terminal installed in a restaurant or the like. 4 of the auction terminal 1 is an order input unit, which inputs an order for food and drink by key operation. A storage unit 5 stores the identification code of the auction terminal, the food and drink menu, the code of the restaurant, and the like. A discriminating unit 6 discriminates a menu, a store code and the like corresponding to a signal from the order input unit 4 based on the data read from the storage unit 5. A display unit 7 displays order contents and the like based on a signal from the determination unit 6. An ID reading unit 8 reads the ID of the shopper card attached to the auction terminal. 9
Is an input / output unit, which places an order based on a signal from the discriminating unit 6 and sends it to the server device 2. A control unit 10 controls each unit of the auction terminal 1.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a purchase vote issuing unit, which is a server server device 2
A purchase vote is issued based on the order from the auction terminal 1. Reference numeral 12 of the order output terminal 3 is an input / output unit for inputting the order of food and drinks inputted through the auction server device 2. Reference numeral 13 denotes a storage unit that stores a code of the shop, a menu, and the like. A discriminating unit 14 discriminates the order input from the terminal 1 or the like via the input / output unit 12. Reference numeral 15 denotes a printer, which prints out an order received based on a signal from the determination unit 14. A control unit 16 controls each unit of the order output terminal 3.

Next, the operation of the order entry system according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the operation surface of the auction terminal 1, and FIG. 3 is an example of a menu card used for inputting an order for food and drink. To enter the order, see Figure 3.
First, press the desired key in the type key 21 (bento, hamburger, sandwich, drink, etc.) of the auction terminal 1, then the numeric key 22
Use to operate to enter the menu number (unajyu: 03, etc.).
These key operation signals are input to the display unit 7 via the control unit 10 to display the input menu number. If there is no mistake in this number, the "confirm" key 23 is pressed, then the quantity is entered with the numerical key 22 and if the numerical value displayed on the display section 7 is correct, the "confirm" key 23 is pressed. If the displayed menu number is incorrect, or if you want to change to another menu, etc., press the "Cancel" key 23 and then
Operate the key. Confirmation of the above menu and quantity
The determination unit 6 determines whether the key has been pressed, the control unit 10 reads the store code of the restaurant corresponding to the menu number from the storage unit 5, and the ID reading unit 8 reads the shopper's I of the shopper card.
It is sent to the server device 2 through the input / output unit 9 together with D. The auction terminal device 1 is switched to the order input function for food and drink by pressing the type key 21, and automatically returns to the original auction terminal function at the end of the order.

The auction server device 2 determines the order destination (store code) from the auction terminal 1 and sends the order to the order output terminal 3 of the restaurant. This signal is input from the input / output unit 12 to the discriminating unit 14 via the control unit 16 to discriminate the ID of the shopper from the auction terminal 1 and also to the storage unit 13.
The ordered menu is discriminated by comparing it with the read data, and the order source, ordered menu and quantity are printed out by the printer 15 via the control unit 16.

Based on the order discrimination of the discrimination unit 14, a response indicating that the order has been received is sent from the control unit 16 to the server device 2 via the input / output unit 12, and based on this response, the auction server device 2 A purchase vote is issued from the purchase vote issuing unit 11 attached to the. If there is no response to the order from the restaurant or the like where the order is received, the response server device 2 sends a response indicating that the order cannot be received to the auction terminal device 1, and the input / output unit 9 inputs the response to the control unit 10 to display it on the display unit. For example, "E" or the like indicating that the order could not be placed is displayed.

Further, the clock built in the auction server device 2 determines the order input time from the auction terminal device 1 and sends the time data together with the order to the restaurant of the order destination, and the printer of the order output terminal device 3 It is also possible to print out the ordered time from 15 and make it possible not to wait for a long time.
In addition, the standard time required from order receipt to delivery for each menu of each restaurant is stored in the auction server device 2, for example, by time zone, and the standard required time data is input by inputting an order from the auction terminal 1. The standard time required until the ordered product arrives may be displayed on the display unit 7 of the auction terminal device 1 after being read out.

In the above description, the order destination from the auction terminal device 1 is discriminated by the auction server device 2 and the order is sent to the corresponding order output terminal device 3 of a restaurant or the like. From each restaurant etc. (Lunch box,
Orders are simultaneously sent to a hamburger shop, a sandwich shop, etc., and the shop code entered by the judging section 14 of each order output terminal 3 is discriminated. You may Further, in the above, the shopper's ID read by the ID reader 8 from the auction terminal 1 is sent together with the order. However, the number of the shopper's seat or the like is stored in the storage 5, and It is also possible to send out the number of the buyer's seat together with the order so that the order originator can be determined from the number of the buyer's seat. In the above description, the menu number is displayed on the display unit 7 of the auction terminal 1. However, the characters can be displayed using a liquid crystal panel or the like, and the storage unit 5 displays the character corresponding to the menu number. It is also possible to store the data for use and display the menu of the number designated by the numeral keys 22 in characters.

In the above description, this system is installed in the auction market. For example, a terminal device is installed in a laboratory of a university where a cafeteria is installed on the premises, and an order output terminal is installed in the cafeteria. Or, it can be installed between a hospital room and a restaurant, or between a restaurant seat and a kitchen.

[0014]

As described above, according to the order input system of the present invention, it is possible to input an order by designating a menu such as food and drink by operating the auction terminal at the shop seat of the auction market.
