The present invention relates to an electronic cash register, and more particularly, to a cash register and a method capable of card inquiry printing in which a card processing unit is added to a cash register to issue a receipt using a print unit of a cash register when issuing a receipt according to a card transaction .

In recent years, the use of cash registers, card processors, and document printers has been increasing with the increasing trend of card processing in small and medium businesses, and the desire to use these devices at the lowest cost for such stores is increasing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic cash register generally includes an input unit 104 for generating various mode signals of money transaction information or system, a central control unit 104 for controlling the overall operation of the system by the input of the input unit 104, A data memory 103 for temporarily storing various kinds of data; and a control unit 103 for issuing various reports such as receipts under the control of the central processing unit 101 And a display unit 105 for displaying information under the control of the central processing unit 101. The display unit 105 displays the information on the display unit 105,

In addition, the card processor is used as a separate device, in which a card reader and a document printer are connected to each other, or only a card reader is used, and the document is manually processed. Therefore, small-sized businesses are provided with a cash register and a card processor, respectively, and the cash register is used for general receipt processing, and the card processor is used for card processing.

However, in the conventional electronic cash register, a customer uses a card to perform a merchandise transaction, and then, in order to issue a receipt showing the details of the transaction and the transaction, a card processing printer is double- should. As a result, users are burdened unnecessarily with expensive high-priced products, and the installation space of a business has become burdensome.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a general register receipt and a card processing receipt to be issued in a cash register, thereby providing the user with the maximum efficiency at a minimum cost.

In order to accomplish the object of the present invention, there is provided a cash register and method capable of performing card inquiry printing, comprising: input means for inputting card presence / absence information, business information and transaction contents of a cash register; An information storing means for storing the inputted information; card processing means for performing card processing and inquiry when the cash register is able to process the card; A first processing step of setting a presence or absence of a card of the cash register in the program mode and business information, and a card processing of the cash register as a result of performing the first processing step A second processing step of determining a transaction settlement method in the registration mode when the presence / A third processing step of performing a card processing receipt processing when the cash settlement method is a card settlement and the cash register is settable for card processing; and a receipt issuing step of issuing a general receipt if the transaction settlement method is cash settlement .

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a cash register capable of card inquiry printing according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the input unit 201 receives usage information of the cash register, business information, and transaction contents, a determination unit (not shown) that determines the usage purpose of the cash register, A card processing unit (203) for performing card processing and inquiry when the use purpose of the cash register is card processing; a printing unit (204) for printing the transaction contents; A program storage unit 206 storing a program for processing the cash register, and a control unit 207 including the determination unit and controlling the entire cash register.

Figure 3 shows a receipt issued by a typical electronic cash register.

As shown, a general receipt is printed with information about the business information, the sales information, and the time of sale.

FIG. 4 shows a card processing receipt issued by the electronic cash register according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, the card processing receipt is printed with information such as card information, point of sale, sales information, card approval number, business information, and signature column.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a cash register according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, a first processing step of setting a use purpose and business information of a cash register in a program mode, and a settlement method in a registration mode when a use purpose of the cash register is set as a result of performing the first processing step A third processing step of issuing a card processing receipt if the payment method is a card processing and an option is set as a result of judging whether or not a card processing option is set; A receipt issuing step of issuing a general receipt if the option is not set, and a receipt issuing step of issuing a general receipt if the payment method is cash processing.

The first processing step may include a step of determining whether or not a card processing key is input, and a step of performing other function processing for using the cash register as a functional unit if there is no request for setting a business information without the card processing key input Setting business information if there is a business information setting request without the card processing key input; and setting a card processing option if the card processing key input is present.

Here, the second processing step may include determining a cash key input and determining a card key input.

Here, the third processing step includes a receipt issuing step of issuing a card processing receipt if card processing is approved as a result of card inquiry, and a step of processing an error if the card processing is not approved as a result of card inquiry .

Here, the receipt issuing step includes processing the preset business information and transaction details, and printing the processed data.

The operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when card processing is selected in the program mode, the card processing option (option) is set. This operation allows the user to arbitrarily set the card processing setting or the card processing setting as needed. That is, the user may arbitrarily set the card to be able to perform card processing on the cash register, or set the cash register to be used in the form of a monopoly (S1).

On the other hand, if card processing is not selected in the program mode, the user inputs business information. At this time, necessary information is inputted according to the receipt type (S2).

When a key (for example, a check or a foreign key) other than a cash key or a card key is inputted in the registration mode, information such as business information, sales information date, etc. is processed in the data memory as shown in FIG. Printing is performed in the form of a receipt (S3). In other words, the receipt is issued in the form of figure 3.

If the card key is input, it is determined whether the card processing option (option) is set in advance (S4).

If the card processing option is not set in advance, as shown in FIG. 3, information such as business information, sales information date, and the like is processed in the data memory to issue a receipt in the form of cash settlement (S5) . In other words, the receipt is issued in the form of figure 3.

If the card processing option (option) is set in advance, the card inquiry processing is performed. At this time, the card processing unit receives the processed result from the card company through the linkage with the VAN company. If the received content is a card transaction acceptance, as shown in FIG. 4, the received information such as card information, approval, business information, and the like is processed in a data memory and printing in a card processing form is performed (S6). In other words, the receipt is issued in the form of figure 4.

If the received content is not a card transaction acceptance, an error process such as displaying an error message is performed (S7).

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a printer built in a cash register is used to process both a general receipt and a card receipt, without additional printer for card processing printing, thereby maximizing efficiency in terms of economy .
