Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an accounting device and program. Traditionally, stores selling goods and services (hereinafter collectively referred to as "goods") have implemented services that offer benefits to registered members in order to retain customers. For example, stores offer services such as awarding members points based on a predetermined percentage of their purchase amount. Furthermore, in recent years, an increasing number of companies and stores (hereinafter collectively referred to as "stores") are adopting multiple types of membership programs with different services in order to implement promotions tailored to the characteristics of their customers. Stores set up memberships such as card members who hold a card with a membership ID, and app members who have installed a membership application program on their smartphones or other mobile devices, according to customer requests. When employing multiple membership programs with different services, the operation of the payment system may vary depending on the customer purchasing the product. For example, if coupons are distributed only to app members, customers who are app members may need to enter coupon information. This resulted in a cumbersome operation for operators (store staff and customers) using the payment system. Figure 1 is a diagram showing a schematic of the store system according to the embodiment.Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the main hardware configuration of the POS terminal according to the embodiment.Figure 3 is a diagram showing the data structure of the product master stored in the memory unit of the POS terminal according to the embodiment.Figure 4 shows the data structure of the identification information management table stored in the memory unit of the POS terminal of the embodiment.Figure 5 shows the data structure of the member type management table stored in the memory unit of the POS terminal of the embodiment.Figure 6 is a block diagram showing the main functional configuration of the control unit of the POS terminal according to the embodiment.Figure 7 is a block diagram showing the main hardware configuration of the server device in the embodiment.Figure 8 shows the data structure of the member master stored in the storage unit of the server device according to the embodiment.Figure 9 shows the data structure of the coupon management file stored in the storage unit of the server device of the embodiment.Figure 10 is a block diagram showing the main functional configuration of the control unit of the server device according to the embodiment.Figure 11 is a flowchart showing the transaction processing flow by the control unit of the POS terminal in this embodiment.Figure 12 shows the member ID input guidance screen displayed by the display unit of the POS terminal in this embodiment.Figure 13 shows the coupon ID input guidance screen displayed by the display unit of the POS terminal in this embodiment.Figure 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of the member type selection process by the control unit of the server device in the embodiment. The following describes the accounting device and program of the embodiment with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. For example, the embodiments described below describe an example where a self-service POS (Point of Sales) terminal, where the customer performs operations related to product registration and accounting, is used as the accounting device, but the invention is not limited to this. The accounting device may be a POS terminal where a store clerk performs operations related to product registration and accounting, a semi-self-service POS accounting device where a store clerk performs operations related to product registration using a registration device and the customer performs operations related to accounting using an accounting device, or an accounting device where the customer uses a smartphone or tablet terminal to obtain registered product information and perform accounting processing. Furthermore, the embodiments described below will explain an example where the membership type is defined as the type of membership system, but the system is not limited to this. The membership type may also be defined as the type of membership rank assigned to members within the same membership system. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the store system 1 according to this embodiment. This store system 1 is applicable, for example, to specialty stores that primarily sell products in specific genres, such as apparel, or to mass retailers such as supermarkets. The store system 1 comprises a plurality of POS terminals 2 and a server device 3. Each POS terminal 2 and the server device 3 are connected to each other via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network), enabling communication between them. POS terminal 2 is a self-service POS terminal where customers perform operations related to
