A sales data processing method characterized by the following:

Description

Application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Law https://www.teraokaseiko.com/jp/news/press-release/2017/20171013101648/ Press Demonstration Briefing, October 17, 2017 Teraoka Seiko Co., Ltd., Osaki Building, Tokyo Showroom, Large Conference Room (2-3-13 Osaki, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) October 31, 2017 The present invention relates to a sales data processing device , a system, a program, and a sales data processing method. Convenience stores and supermarkets generally install multiple POS registers. Furthermore, POS registers operating in multiple modes have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Figure 1 is a network configuration diagram of a Point of Sales (POS) system according to one embodiment of the present invention. The POS system 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises three POS terminals 20-1, 20-2, and 20-3, and a store controller (store computer, management device) 10, each connected via a LAN 11 for communication. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, POS terminals 20-1, 20-2, and 20-3 will be collectively referred to as POS terminal 20. The POS system 1 may further include a monitoring terminal (not shown) for displaying the status of the POS terminals 20 (operating mode, processing status, etc.) and for controlling the POS terminals 20. POS System 1 can be installed in various types of stores (convenience stores, supermarkets, etc.). Figure 2 shows an example of the POS terminal 20 installation. Figure 2(A) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 etc. from the customer's side. Figure 2(B) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 etc. from the store employee's side. As shown in Figure 2(A), the counter is placed to the right of the POS terminal 20 from the customer's perspective. Figure 3 shows an example of the external appearance of the POS terminal 20. Figure 3(A) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 from the customer's side. Figure 3(B) is a perspective view of the POS terminal 20 from the store clerk's side. Figure 4 shows an example of the configuration of the POS terminal 20. In Figures 3 and 4, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.
