Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a POS terminal, and in particular allows sales information such as reservation sales transactions to be collected easily and efficiently.

[Background of the invention]

Conventional POS terminals handle pre-order sales transactions (the deposit at the time of production is a deposit, and the product is sold at the time of delivery).
etc., you enter product data etc. at the time of occurrence (at the time of application), but at the time of completion (product delivery 5:00 p.m.), you only need to enter the total amount or remaining amount, so you can check the sales status of the product in real time. I can't figure it out.

Additionally, there was a drawback that it was difficult to input all the product data, etc. that were input at the time of occurrence at the time of completion.

[Object of the Invention] The object and purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology. By doing this, by identifying and automatically processing the data sent from the host control device, sales information can be grasped in real time without having to re-enter product data, etc. at the time of occurrence. Our goal is to provide POS terminals.

[Summary of the invention]

A feature of the present invention is that the POS terminal is provided with a data identification function for identifying transmitted data from a host control device in order to obtain sales information efficiently and in real time.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail using the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a POS terminal that is an embodiment of the present invention.

Processing at the time a pre-order sales transaction occurs will be explained. When reserving product A, the user inputs product data regarding A (for example, product code), unit price, deposit, etc. from input section 1, and the input data is displayed on display section 5. When the end of transaction is input, the input data is processed by the control unit 2 and stored as sales information in the storage unit 6.The input data with the slip number etc. added by the control unit 2 is sent to the upper control unit #8 through the line control unit 4. The input data and the like are transmitted and printed on the printing section 7.

Next, the processing at the time of completion of the product A (product delivery time) will be explained. When key data, such as the slip number issued at the time of occurrence, is input to the host controller 8 from the input unit 1, it is processed by the controller 2, and then sent to the host controller @8 through the line controller 4. 〃 is sent. Next, when the data at the time of occurrence is transmitted from the host controller @8 to the POS terminal, it is sent through the line control section 4 to the data identification section 5, where the data is identified and passed to the control section 2. The control unit 2 processes the data in the same way as the data input from the input unit 1. Next, when the remaining amount is input from the input unit 1 and the check completion data is input, the input data and the data sent from the host control device #8 are processed in the control unit 2 and stored in the storage unit 6 as sales information. Then, the above data is displayed, printed, and transmitted to the host controller 8 in the same manner as at the time of occurrence. The inspection report, which is a conventional function, that is, the sales information stored in the storage part B is printed on the printing part 7. Alternatively, by displaying the sales information on the display unit 5, it becomes possible to grasp the sales information in real time at the sales floor.

By doing the above, you can easily and reliably grasp sales information in real time without having to enter all the data at the time of completion of a pre-order sales transaction.
Product data, etc. can be printed on issued slips, etc., which is also effective in terms of service to customers and operations with suppliers, credit companies, etc.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the configuration is as described above, the following effects can be obtained in the present invention.

(1) Sales information can be efficiently obtained in real time without impairing operability.

(2) Since less input data is required for transactions, processing can be done quickly and accurately.

(5) In reservation sales transactions, all data is processed at once at the time of occurrence and completion, making it easy to manage sales, deposits, balances, etc.

(4) Product data can be easily printed on a slip or the like issued upon completion of a pre-order sales transaction.
