Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electronic cash register that has a person in charge key and that specifies the person in charge and performs register operations such as registering money.

Recently, in view of the diversification of cash register operations at stores, etc., electronic cash registers have been devised that are equipped with a manager key so that functions such as money registration cannot be performed without the operation of this manager key. There is.

However, with such devices, it is not always necessary to specify the person in charge; for example, the person in charge key must be operated for tasks such as setting the date or simply rubbing a register on a calculator. The disadvantage is that each operation is time-consuming and the operability is poor.

Particularly when a key switch or a key with a key is used as the person in charge key, there is an inconvenience that the date setting operation cannot be started at all unless there is a person in charge with the key and the person in charge is designated.

This invention has been devised in order to solve such problems, and in particular, it is necessary to designate a person in charge before starting various operations. To provide an electronic cash register capable of improving operability by allowing business processing to be started for unnecessary specific business without designation of a person in charge.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Four responsible person keys 1 to 1 are provided, each consisting of a key switch operated by a separate key 1, for distinguishing four responsible persons A't B, C, and D. The person in charge signal outputted by the person in charge 1 is inputted to the person in charge signal determination section 21 of the central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 2.

When the determination unit 211 receives the person-in-charge signal, the CPU 2 determines that the person in charge A, B, C, or D has been designated, and uses the various keys on the keyboard 3 to perform various tasks that require human effort. I try to do it.

In addition, the keyboard 3t can be used as a specific key to start tasks that can be performed without specifying a person in charge, such as DA for setting the date.
A TE key 31 is provided.

Said DATE key 3. When operated, it outputs a responsible person signal like each of the responsible person keys 1 to 1, and the determination unit 2□t of the CPU 2 outputs a responsible person signal.
For example, it is made to be determined that pseudo-responsible person E has been designated.

When the DATE key 31 is operated, the date setting mode signal is sent to the date setting mode signal determining unit 221 of the CPU 2.
I'm trying to type this in.

Then, when each of the above-mentioned responsible person keys 1 to 1 is operated, each responsible person A is activated on the printer 4.

Print out B, C, and D, and press the DATE key 3 above.
, is operated, 1 causes the printer 4 to print out the pseudo-responsible person E.

It should be noted that the responsible person signal specifying the pseudo responsible person E is given priority over the other responsible persons signals A, B, C, and D, and overlapping presses between the responsible person keys (electronic circuit) are avoided. I'm trying to prevent it.

In this configuration, each person in charge is A, B, and C.

D uses each key, first 1, each responsible person key 1
If the person in charge is not designated by operating 1 to 1, the work will not start at all no matter how many key signals are input from the keyboard 3.

Therefore, when doing business, 1 is the person in charge key 1~1.
It is only necessary to operate one of them first and then perform key operations for business processing.

Also, the person in charge designated at this time is printed out using the printer 4 and is clearly indicated.

For example, if you set the cash registration mode to 1, the manager key to 1
When the person in charge A is operated, the person in charge A is specified, and from then on, the cash registration operation is started by the key signal 1 from the keyboard 3.

Also, when operating the DATE key 3□ on the keyboard 3 to set the receipt issue date, press that key 3
When □ is operated, a designation signal for the pseudo-responsible person E is inputted to the CPU 2tc in the same manner as when each of the person-in-charge keys 1 to 1 is operated.

Therefore, at this time, there is no need for the person in charge (to start the date setting task) to operate the person-in-charge key.

Further, by operating the DATE key 3, a date setting mode signal is input at the same time.

Therefore, when the DATE key 3 is operated, the person in charge E is printed and specified, and a receipt issue date setting operation is performed.

In this case, even if any of the person in charge keys 1 to 1 is operated, the person in charge E having priority will be printed out.

Therefore, when operating the DATE key 3□ to set the receipt issuing date, each person in charge A to D can use their own key to set the DATE without operating the person in charge keys 1A to 1D. The receipt issue date setting operation can be started simply by operating the key 3, thereby improving operability.

Therefore, the date can be set by anyone, not just the person in charge who has the key.

In the above embodiment, the responsible person keys 1 to 1 are each operated by a separate key 1, and the responsible person signal output from the DATE key has priority over other responsible person signals. Although the electronic circuit is designed to prevent overlapping strokes, this is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. When 1 is pressed to make a blank key, each manager key and the DATE key 31 may be used as a five-speed key that prohibits repeated hits, and may be an electronic key or a digital switch. It's also good.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the person in charge signal output from the DATE key is a signal independent from other person in charge signals, but this may be different from the person in charge key 1 or any other person in charge, as shown in FIG. The same signal as the responsible person signal outputted from 1 to 1 may be output.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the DATE key for setting the receipt issue date was used as a specific key, but the DATE key can also be used to perform specific tasks such as feeding receipts, chart paper, simple calculations, and startup. This can be applied as long as it is an operation key that allows a person in charge to perform an operation other than direct register work such as testing.

As described in detail above, 1) According to the present invention, an electronic cash register 1 is provided with a responsible person key, and is in a state where various tasks can be performed only when a responsible person signal is input by operating the responsible person key. Here, a specific key is provided which outputs a signal equivalent to the person in charge signal as well as a signal that causes a preset specific task to be performed, and when the specific task process is performed by operating this specific key. This eliminates the need to specify the person in charge using the person in charge key 1.
It is possible to provide an electronic cash register that can improve operability in specific tasks.
