Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a mobile terminal device, a merchandise sales data processing device, and a program.

Some conventional POS (Point of Sales) terminal devices include a display for customers in addition to a display for store clerk who operates the device. This display displays the price, name, etc. of the product registered by the clerk as a payment target in the POS terminal device to the customer.
The customer can check the registration status of the store clerk by referring to the customer display. And this makes it possible to apply for correction on the spot if there is a registration error. Therefore, it is desirable to display in detail on the customer display, including incidental information such as discounts and discounts.

  However, on the other hand, the customer display makes the product information visible to anyone other than the purchaser of the product being registered (such as the next customer). For this reason, the detailed display of a customer display and the enlargement of the screen may be disliked.

However, if the display on the customer display is a simple display such as only the price, it is difficult to achieve the original purpose (that is, confirmation of the registration status). Further, in this case, detailed confirmation can be made by referring to a receipt issued after settlement, so that the discovery and correction of erroneous registration is urged to be after settlement.
It is preferable to correct incorrect registration before settlement rather than after settlement. This is because, for a store, correction after settlement indicates that money delivery overlaps. This increases the number of troubles and causes of miscalculation, which is not preferable. For customers, correction after settlement is not desirable because it is after leaving the cash register, so that it is necessary to rearrange them in a row or go to another service counter, which takes time and effort.

  Subsequent to step S13, the control unit 11 transmits header information d0, store information d1, and index information d2 to the mobile terminal 7 (step S14). In step S14, together with the header information d0, image information indicating a store logo or the like may be transmitted from the POS terminal 1 and displayed on the portable terminal 7.

  When the code symbol is a product code in step S12 (“product code” in step S12), the control unit 11 (registration unit 11b) registers the product specified by the product code as a settlement target (step S15). Then, the control part 11 (transmission means 11c) transmits the detailed information d3 based on registration merchandise information to the portable terminal 7 for every registration in step S15 (step S16). Here, when the detailed information d3 is transmitted for the first time, the control unit 11 transmits the detailed start tag d5 to the mobile terminal 7 prior to the initial transmission.

  The control unit 11 repeats steps S11 to S16 until a settlement process, that is, a settlement of payment declared by pressing a tightening key or the like provided in the operation unit 12 is performed (No in step S17). When the tightening process is performed (Yes in step S17), the control unit 11 transmits the settlement information d4 to the mobile terminal 7 (step S18). Here, the control unit 11 transmits a detail end tag d6 to the mobile terminal 7 prior to transmission of the settlement information d4. And the control part 11 cut | disconnects the connection with the portable terminal 7 performed by step S13 (step S19).

  In step S11, when the control unit 11 does not receive an output indicating that the code symbol has been read from the code scanner 15 (No in step S11), the process proceeds to step S17. And the control part 11 returns to step S11 through No (no tightening process) of step S17, and waits for the reading of a code symbol.

  The POS terminal 1 prints and issues a receipt when the mobile terminal 7 does not perform customer display substitution. The control unit 11 determines whether or not to perform customer display substitution at the first time in step S12 of the flowchart of FIG. In step S12, if the control unit 11 is not a member code but a product code from the first time (“product code” in step S12), it does not perform customer display substitution. In this case, the control unit 11 performs customer display using the customer display 14b as usual.

  The POS terminal 1 prints a receipt as follows. When the printing of the receipt for one settlement is completed, the control unit 11 prints the store information D1 of the next receipt to be issued. The control unit 11 prints the index information D2 when registration of a product for a new settlement is started. When the settlement is completed, the control unit 11 prints the detailed information D3 and the settlement information D4, separates them, and ends the receipt printing. And the control part 11 prints the shop information D1 of the receipt issued next, and prepares for a new payment start.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing performed by the control unit 71 when the member's mobile terminal 7 and the POS terminal 1 are connected on a one-to-one basis. After connection with the POS terminal 1, the control unit 71 (reception unit 71b) waits for reception of any of the store information d1, the index information d2, the detailed information d3, and the settlement information d4 (No in step S21).

  When any one of the above-described information d1 to d4 is received (Yes in Step S21), the control unit 71 (display unit 71c) displays the received information on the display unit 73 (Step S22). Thereby, the display part 73 of the member's portable terminal 7 fulfills a customer display substitute function. At this time, the customer display 14b of the POS terminal 1 does not perform customer display.

  Here, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of the portable terminal 7 during the customer display substitution. As shown in FIG. 9, the display means 71 c causes the display unit 73 to display at least important information among the information on the settlement target products. The important information is a price, a product name, discount / discount information, and a product code.

  Further, in the display, the display means 71c may display only the latest received information as shown in FIG. 9A, or the received information as shown in FIG. 9B. It may be displayed.

  Subsequent to step S22, the control unit 71 sequentially accumulates the same information (information received in step S21) in a predetermined area of the storage unit 75 (step S23). Here, when the detail start tag d5 or the detail end tag d6 is received, the control unit 71 similarly accumulates in the storage unit 75.

  And the control part 71 repeats step S21-S23 until it receives the adjustment information d4 (No of step S24).

  When the settlement information d4 is received (Yes in step S24), the control unit 71 (summarizing unit 71d) summarizes the information d1 to d4 and d5 and d6 accumulated in a predetermined area of the storage unit 75 in the order received, and receives the electronic receipt. r is created (step S25). And the control part 71 (transmission means 71e) transmits the electronic receipt r to the electronic receipt management server 4 (step S26).

  The control unit 71 stores the electronic receipt r created in step S25 in the electronic receipt management area 75a of the storage unit 75 so that it can be reused.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, since the mobile terminal 7 of the product purchaser substitutes for the customer display, only the product purchaser can be notified of the registered product information. In other words, according to the present embodiment, detailed presentation of the registration status toward the purchaser of the product being registered as a payment target can be performed in a state where it is difficult for others to see.
