DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bar code interference label and a method of using the bar code interference label. More specifically, the applicant has previously filed Japanese Patent Application No. 4-26671.
It is a further improvement of the "How to use discount seal" filed as No. 0 (Conventional Example 1) and the "How to use discount seal and discount seal" filed as Japanese Patent Application No. 8-53726 (Conventional Example 2). is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, this type is as follows. The application of Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710 "How to use a discount seal" was based on the following background. A. Until then, it was done by putting a discount sticker on the product. B. However, such a state has the following problems. The cashier overlooks the discount sticker and forgets the discount operation. The following can be pointed out as the cause. When the cashier checker gets used to it, you will not notice the discount sticker because you register the product without looking at the product.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710 has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a device capable of solving the following problems. It was to be. Not only is the cash register checker overlooking the discount sticker forgetting the discount operation and making a complaint, but also the sales data of how much the POS system sold in the normal sales and how much it was sold in the discount sales are not accurately utilized. That is, 1. Since the discount sticker is affixed away from the barcode, only check the barcode and forget to perform the discount operation. 2. As cashier checkers get used to, they only register products without looking at the products, so they will not notice the discount seal. 3. Even if it is a discounted product, even if you perform a discount operation, you can check the barcode and register the product without doing so, so you will make an error. For this reason, the invention of "How to use a discount seal" filed as Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710 is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710, in which the discount seal is stuck on the barcode, so that the barcode cannot be used. When he noticed that something was wrong, he noticed that it was a discount product, he could break the discount seal from the center, enable barcodes, register the discount product, and perform the discount processing operation. That is, the invention of "How to use a discount seal" filed as Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 4-266710 discloses a method for applying a discount to a horizontally long sticker sheet 3A having an appropriate width and length and a surface of the seal sheet. Is provided with a discount display field 3B and a discount amount display field 3C indicating that the discount sheet 3 is an object, and the adhesive sheet is provided at both ends on the back surface of the seal paper. Product 2 to be tried
Is attached to the bar code 2A in a state orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the bar code in a state of straddling the bar code. In the figure, 3D and 3E are adhesive surfaces provided on the back surface, and 3F is a knob side. In other words, this Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710 discloses that a bar code is masked once to physically prevent reading, and then, after a cash-down operation of the cash register, the masking portion is peeled off to enable rescanning. Is what you do. (FIGS. 8 to 10
reference)

However, Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710 has the following problems. A well-known barcode 2A is displayed at a predetermined location of the product 2 where the discount seal 3 is used. And this barcode 2A
2B in the vicinity of the upper and lower parts of the product
Is displayed. At the same time that the discount seal 3 is attached while straddling the bar code, at the same time, the description item 2B of the product displayed near the upper and lower portions of the bar code 2A is also covered with the discount seal 3, so that the customer can use the discount seal 3. Explanation item 2B cannot be confirmed.

[0005] In order to solve such a problem of Japanese Patent Application No. 4-266710, a "price reduction seal and a method of using a price reduction seal" filed as Japanese Patent Application No. 8-53726.
There was. The contents of Japanese Patent Application No. 8-53726 are as follows. (See FIGS. 11 to 13) In a vertically long sealing portion 4A having a desired width and length made of a synthetic resin transparent film as a material, a vertically long barcode shielding portion 4B and this barcode shielding portion are provided. The upper and lower display / adhesive portions 4C and the lower display / adhesive portion 4D are provided at the top and bottom of the bar code shield portion 4B. It is drawn in a parallel state, and on the surface of the upper display / adhesive portion 4C and the lower display / adhesive portion 4D, a discount display field 4F indicating that the product is to be discounted.
And a discount amount display section 4G are provided. Adhesive coating sections 4H and 4I are provided on the back surface of the upper display and bonding section 4C and the lower display and bonding section 4D, and the bar code shielding section 4B is provided.
Is a discount seal in which a sewing hole 4J is provided at a position near the upper end or a position near the lower end of the bar code shielding portion to facilitate cutting in the lateral direction of the seal portion. That is, in the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 8-53726, the bar code is masked once by oblique lines of white printing to physically prevent reading, and thereafter, after the cash register discount operation, the masking portion is peeled off. This allows rescanning.

[0006]

However, there is a possibility that Japanese Patent Application No. 8-53726 cannot cope with the following situation. The barcode is read by a cashier checker by a cashier scanner, which is a well-known barcode reader. This is related to the fact that raster scans have been used for cashier scanners in addition to single scans. In other words, the single scan is configured with one infrared scan line, but the raster scan is read with a plurality of 5 to 20 infrared scan lines and automatically repairs barcode chips, dirt, etc. It is configured to have the function of As a result, Japanese Patent Application No. 8-5
No. 3726 is effective when processed by single scan, but cannot be processed when processed by raster scan. Moreover, this patent application Hei 8-53
No. 726, the material used is PET film 3.
8μ and the structure of processing (partial processing) etc., the printed part of the discount display is inconspicuous, the material is thin and difficult to stick,
It is considered that the cost is high. The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the related art, and an object of the present invention is to provide one that can solve the above-described problems.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The barcode obstruction label 1 before use is attached in parallel to the upper surface of the release paper 5 as shown in FIG. B. A bar code usually used in a supermarket or the like has a magnification of 0.8 times and 30 mm on the left and right, whereas the bar code of the present invention has a magnification of 1.2 times and 45 mm on the left and right, so that the printing accuracy is high. , The cashier scanner will respond well.

[0016]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. A. Regarding the first invention a. Since the bar code 1D1 for obstruction is configured to have a larger magnification and a larger vertical size than the existing bar code 2A affixed to the product 2 in advance, the obstructive action can be reliably performed. b. Sewing hole 1 for cutting adjacent to display box 1B for discount
Since the disturbing barcode portion 1D is formed via C, the two are easily separated from each other, and the lower portion of the back surface of the disturbing barcode portion 1D is provided with an adhesive application portion 1D2, so that the disturbing barcode is provided. Easy to pinch and peel. c. The discount display column 1B1 includes a discount display column 1B11 indicating that the product is a target of the discount and a discount amount display column 1B.
Since 12 is provided, a customer or the like can accurately grasp the discounted amount and the discounted amount. d. If the barcode on the barcode obstruction label contains information indicating that the item is a discount product,
Cashier mistakes can be reduced.

B. In the second invention, the bar code 2A attached to the product 2 to be discounted has a predetermined interval D
Thus, the following effects can be obtained because the barcode obstruction label 1 is attached. a. By sticking the bar code obstruction label on the discounted product, one product has two bar codes, and a registration error is intentionally generated due to the characteristics of the infrared cash register scanner described above. It is not possible to read more than one barcode at the same time. This is because reading always requires a time lag. As a result, the cashier checker knows that the product is a discount product,
Accurate processing can be performed quickly. b. Even if two or more barcodes are accidentally read, it will respond to the barcode of the barcode obstruction label which is excellent in size and accuracy. c. Further, by inputting information indicating that this is a discount product in the barcode of the barcode obstruction label, it is possible to prevent an oversight of the discount and an operation error before clearing at the cash register. d. The position where the bar code obstruction label can be stuck can be arbitrarily selected as long as it is within a predetermined interval with respect to the discounted product.

C. The third invention is a bar code interference label 1
Is arranged so as to be as close as possible to the barcode 2A attached to the product 2 to be discounted or to be overlapped on a part of the barcode 2, so that the following effects are obtained. be able to. That is, by sticking the bar code 2A close to the bar code or pasting a part of the bar code 2A, the bar code margin (from the quiet zone to the left and right margins of the bar code can be read without this margin). However, since the bar code 2A cannot be secured, the data of the bar code 2A is securely shielded, and any register scanner with a narrow reading range will react to the bar code interference label 1 of the present invention. D. Rescanning can be performed by a subsequent operation. Separate the discount display field 1B and the disturbing barcode 1D from the cutting sewing machine hole 1C, remove the disturbing barcode and peel off the barcode by removing the disturbing barcode and re-use the barcode. can do. That is, if the barcode obstruction label 1 is not attached, the cashier will read the barcode,
Although the above-mentioned problem is caused by thinking that the product registration is completed, the bar code cannot be read in the case of the present invention, so that the product must be reviewed. Therefore,
Since the cashier checker cannot register the product, the bar code obstruction label is peeled off, the product is registered, and then the discount operation is performed. Therefore, the discount product can be definitely registered. In addition, since the bar code obstruction label clearly indicates the discount amount, the work efficiency can be improved. E. FIG. The method of the present invention can sufficiently cope with the progress of the registration scanner using infrared rays. That is, according to the present invention, the bar code of the discounted product is intentionally generated by the optical method, making it impossible to read the bar code of the discounted product by taking advantage of the function of the scanner and extremely high accuracy. Therefore, it can sufficiently cope with advanced functions that will be developed in the future and scanners with extremely high accuracy.
