    How to display cash registers and balances in cash registers
    The present invention relates to a sales subtotal and a balance display method of a cash register. More particularly, the subtotal of a sales amount and a payment amount of a customer and a balance which is the difference at the end of a cash register can be continuously displayed alternately on a display unit. It relates to a sales counter of a cash register and a balance display method.
    In general, a cash register refers to a device used to facilitate information management by processing various data accompanying product sales and informing a user of a result. It ranges from point of sales system to comprehensively manage the distribution economy such as research. Hereinafter, in this specification, the term electronic cash register controlled by a microprocessor is used as a broad concept including a low-end cash register to a POS terminal.
    1 is a general system block diagram of a cash register as described above. As shown in this figure, the cash register is a printer for issuing documents for the customer's receipts, audit papers and various data processing results under the control of the central processing unit 10 and the central processing unit 10 that controls the overall operation of the cash register ( 20), a key input unit 30 for generating a mode designation signal and various key codes for money registration, a ROM 40 having a program for implementing various functions of the cash register, including a system operation program, and a money register RAM 50 for temporarily storing various data generated during the work, and a display unit for displaying the data processing results generated during the cash register operation to the customer and the clerk through the indicators 60a and 60b such as CRT under the control of the central processing unit 10 ( 60), the power is supplied to the entire cash register, and during a power outage, the power is supplied by a backup battery and generated during the operation of the cash register to be temporarily stored in the RAM 50. Through the power unit 70 and the bar code reader to preserve the overall data is configured to include a bar code reading section 80 for recognizing the data of the bar code attached to a commodity.
    2 is a key configuration diagram provided in the key input unit 30 of the cash register, and as shown in this figure, the keys provided in the key input unit 30 select a mode used to designate a desired mode among various operation modes of the cash register. The switch 32, the function key group 34 used to select and execute a desired function from the various functions that can be performed by the cash register, the item key group 36 used to designate a sale item, and the price or registration of various items It is divided into a group of numeric keys 38 used to input required numbers and the like.
    In the function key group 34, the subtotal key 34a, which is a key used to calculate the subtotal of the sales amount at the end of the registration, and the balance, which is the difference when the customer's payment amount is greater than the calculated subtotal of the sales amount, is calculated. A "cash key 34b", which is a key to be used, is prepared.
    On the other hand, the data such as the name, sales quantity, unit price, etc. of the product input through the key input unit 30 or the barcode reader 80 of the cash register as described above is temporarily stored in the RAM 50, the printer 20 immediately after Is printed through.
    As described above, if the subtotal key 34a provided in the key input unit 30 is pressed at the end of the money registration after all the data is input, the amount of the sales amount based on the sales quantity and the unit price entered before the registration deadline is entered. Subtotal is calculated.
    The clerk then verbally informs the customer of the subtotal and the customer pays the price. If the amount is greater than the subtotal, there is a difference between the two amounts.
    The cash register also has a function to calculate the difference.The cash register registers the amount of payment received from the customer and presses the key "cash key 34b," which is provided separately, to calculate the difference between the amount paid and the subtotal. And is output through the indicators 60a and 60b.
    At this time, the customer can check the balance output from the indicator 60b installed toward the customer for the purpose of showing the data processing result and the amount of change that the clerk passes.
    However, as described above, the balance amount printed on the indicator 60b alone cannot confirm the subtotal of the purchase amount, and only after reviewing the contents of the receipt received along with the balance, whether the subtotal of the purchase amount and the amount of the payment and the balance are calculated are correct. You can check whether or not.
    Therefore, if the price or quantity of the product is incorrectly entered during cash registration due to a mistake of the cashier, and the subtotal and the balance are calculated that do not match the customer's purchase history, the customer must pass the balance and review the contents of the receipt. The problem fact as described above is found.
    Therefore, by the time you ask the clerk to confirm or correct it, it is very likely that you are already in the process of registering money for another customer, in which case you will have to wait until the end of the other customer's money registration to correct the miscalculated amount. There is only discomfort.
    The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, and when displaying the sub-total of the sales amount at the end of the cash registration and the customer's payment amount and the balance that is the difference, the money registration for the next customer is started The purpose is to provide a method of displaying the cash register and the balance of the cash register so that customers can easily check the amount by continuously displaying alternatingly and displaying it accurately.
    A cash register and a balance display method of a cash register according to the present invention, comprising: a cash register configured to calculate a difference between a subtotal of a sales amount and a payment amount, determining whether any key is input after the difference is calculated; If there is no key input in the determining step, alternately outputting a subtotal of the sales amount, a payment amount, and a difference between the subtotal of the sale amount and the payment amount to an indicator; And stopping the output when there is any key input in the determining step.

    Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail with respect to the sales counter and the balance display method of the cash register of the present invention according to a preferred embodiment.
    3 is an external perspective view of a cash register to which the sales office total and the balance display method of the present invention are applicable. As shown in this figure, the cash register to which the present invention is applicable is provided with an indicator 60b installed toward the customer for the purpose of showing the data processing result to the customer.
    4 is a diagram illustrating a part of a memory map provided in the RAM 50 for implementing the present invention. As shown in the figure, the RAM 50 is provided with a storage area having a predetermined address which is stored when the sales amount subtotal, the customer's payment amount and the balance are calculated or input.
    The data once recorded in this storage area is retained and updated by the data generated at the time of money registration for the next customer.
    5 is a flowchart illustrating a sales counter and a balance display method of a cash register according to the present invention. Referring to this flowchart and the above-mentioned drawings, a procedure for implementing the sales counter and the balance display method of the present invention on a cash register is described as follows.
    First, in step S10, it is determined whether the mode currently selected by the mode selection switch 32 provided in the key input unit 30 is the registration mode.
    As a result of the determination in step S10, when a mode other than the registration mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S12 where tasks that can be performed in the corresponding mode are progressed or waited.
    However, when the registration mode is selected in step S10, when the registration mode is selected, the data generated during the cash registration, that is, the name of the product, the selling price, the selling quantity, and the like, are received through the key input unit 30 or the barcode reading unit 80. A series of money registration operations that are input and temporarily stored in the RAM 50 and output through the printer 20 are performed.
    Therefore, in the following step (S14) it is determined whether or not the input of the sub-key (34a), which is the key that is input at the closing step of the money registration as described above.
    If a key other than " sub-total key 34a " is input in step S14, the flow advances to step S16 to perform money registration according to the input key.
    However, if the result of the determination in step S14 is that the "sub-total key 34a" is input, the process proceeds to step S18 to calculate a subtotal of the sales amount based on the sales price and the sales quantity of the merchandise so far entered.
    In the step S20 after performing the step S18, the subtotal of the sales amount calculated in the step S18 is stored on the RAM 50 at the corresponding address of the storage area provided in the form of a memory map as shown in FIG. If previously recorded data remains, it is updated and stored with the sales amount subtotal data calculated this time.
    Subsequently, the subtotal of the selling amount is output through the printer 20 and the indicators 60a and 60b. At this time, the subtotal of the sales amount is printed on the paper fed to the printer 20, and is also output to the customer indicator 60b installed toward the customer to inform the subtotal of the purchase amount.
    The customer who has been informed of the subtotal of the purchase amount by performing the step S22 is to pay the price. In the subsequent step S24, the amount of the more paid amount is not matched to the subtotal of the purchase amount or does not have a suitable unit of money. Enter the price.
    In the step S26 after the execution of the step S24, since the input payment amount is stored on the RAM 50 at the corresponding address of the storage area provided in the form of a memory map as shown in FIG. 4, previously recorded data remains. If there is, it is updated and stored with the payment amount entered this time.
    In step S28 after performing step S26, the payment amount of the customer is output through the printer 20 and the indicators 60a and 60b. At this time, the payment amount is printed on the paper fed to the printer 20 and is also output to the customer indicator 60b installed toward the customer so that the customer can check whether the registration is made correctly.
    In step S30 after performing step S28, it is determined whether or not to input the "cash key 34b" which is a key used when calculating the balance which is the difference between the subtotal of the sales amount and the payment amount.
    If the result of the discrimination in step S30 is that the "cash key 34b" is not input, the display proceeds to step S32 in order to induce the clerk to input the "cash key 34b" and the like (indicators 60a and 60b). Output an error message via.
    However, if the determination result in step S30 is that "cash key 34b" is input, the process proceeds to step S34, the balance is calculated, and the memory map shown in FIG. 4 on the RAM 50 in step S36. In the storage at the corresponding address of the storage area provided in the form of, in the case where previously recorded data remains, it is updated and stored with the remaining balance.
    In step S38 after performing step S36, the balance is output through the printer 20 and the indicators 60a and 60b. At this time, the balance is printed on the paper fed to the printer 20 and is also output to the customer indicator 60b installed toward the customer to inform the customer of the balance.
    In step S40 after performing step S38, the key input, that is, the presence or absence of a key input other than "subtotal key 34a" or "cash key 34b" is determined.
    If there is no key input as a result of the determination in step S40, the process proceeds to step S42, in which the sales amount is stored in the corresponding storage area on the RAM 50 in steps S20, S26 and S36, The payment amount and the balance of the customer are alternately output on the customer indicator 60b.
    At this time, each amount of money is output on the display 60b for a predetermined time, and then the amount of money is changed to the next amount of money.
    Therefore, the customer can check the subtotal of the purchase price of the purchased goods, the payment amount of the user and the balance to be returned without separately checking the contents of the received resin through the output of the display unit 60b.
    However, as a result of the determination in step S40, if there is a key input, the process proceeds to step S44, where a work according to the corresponding key is performed, where the key input indicates that data is being input for money registration of another customer. it means.
    The term 'step' used in the detailed description of the present invention reveals that the term 'step' may not be semantically consistent with the term 'step' used in the claims.
    As described above, according to the sales subtotal and balance display method of the cash register of the present invention, in displaying on the display unit a subtotal of the sales amount at the end of the cash registration, the amount paid by the customer, and the balance, the money for the next customer. By continuously displaying alternating and accurate notices until registration is initiated, customers can easily check the amount and quickly find mistakes such as incorrect registration.
