Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ticket vending machine (order receiving device, vending machine, product sales data processing device) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an installation configuration of a plurality of ticket vending machines 1. The ticket vending machine 1 is installed, for example, in a restaurant for a customer to purchase a food ticket corresponding to a product (cooking menu). As shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the case where one (or a plurality of) machines are installed in one store (restaurant) S1, S2, there may be a case where one (or a plurality of) machines are installed for a plurality of stores (restaurants) S3-1 to 5. The ticket vending machine 1 may also be operable by a mobile terminal S6 possessed by a customer (which may be a store clerk). Also, each ticket vending machine 1 may be connected by a communication line S7, and the input / output data generated by each ticket vending machine 1 may be managed (master management, sales aggregation, etc.) by a ticket vending machine management device (for example, a cloud) S4. Further, for example, a membership card for a plurality (or even a single) store S1, S2, S3-1 to 5 may be issued, and the settlement at each ticket vending machine 1 may be configured to be performed by the membership card. The management of the membership card may be performed, for example, by connecting a member management server S5 to the communication line S7 and using the member management server S5.

[0008] Next, regarding the ticket vending machine 1, as shown in FIG. 1, a touch panel 11 serving as display and operation means is installed at the upper front of the ticket vending machine 1. Various screens (such as a product selection screen) for a customer to perform a predetermined operation including product purchase are displayed on the touch panel 11. The customer can purchase a food ticket for a desired product by touching (pressing) with a finger the picture or button of the product displayed on the touch panel 11. That is, the touch panel 11 is both a display means and an operation means, and also a selection means for selecting the product for which the ticket is to be issued.

[0009] At the lower part of the side of the touch panel 11 on the front of the ticket vending machine 1 (at a position along the left side when facing it), there is an issuing port 31 for issuing the following pieces of paper (media, hereinafter referred to as "meal tickets"). Above the issuing port 31, a non-cash settlement processing unit 21 is installed. The non-cash settlement processing unit 21 performs all non-cash settlement processes (such as electronic money settlement and credit settlement), and has a card processing unit 23 and a mobile terminal processing unit 25. The card processing unit 23 has an IC card insertion part 23a for inserting an IC card to perform settlement processing, a non-contact card reading part 23b for holding a non-contact card close to perform settlement processing, and a magnetic card insertion part 23c for inserting a magnetic card to perform settlement processing. The mobile terminal processing unit 25 reads a two-dimensional code displayed on the touch panel of a mobile terminal (media) (not shown) to perform settlement processing and the like.

[0010] Also, at the lower part of the touch panel 11 on the front of the ticket vending machine 1, there are provided a banknote insertion port 13, a banknote discharge port 15, a coin insertion port 17, a coin discharge port 19, etc. Banknotes are inserted through the banknote insertion port 13 during deposit, and banknotes among the paid-out amounts such as change and refund are discharged from the banknote discharge port 15. Coins are inserted through the coin insertion port 17 during deposit, and coins among the paid-out amounts are discharged from the coin discharge port 19.

[0011] Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the ticket vending machine 1. The system configuration of the ticket vending machine 1 shown in the figure includes a CPU 41, a flash memory 43, a RAM 45, a touch panel 11, a communication unit 47, an issuing unit (issuing means) 49, a non-cash settlement processing unit 21, a banknote processing unit 51, and a coin processing unit 53.

[0012] The CPU 41 is a control means that controls the entire processing operation of the ticket vending machine 1. The RAM 45 corresponds to the main memory device and is used as a work area when the CPU 41 executes arithmetic processing. Also, in the RAM 45, a temporary storage area for storing data such as the amount of money deposited in response to a single deposit and the current balance is set. A product file is stored in the RAM 45. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the product file stored in the RAM 45. As shown in the figure, the product file consists of various product information such as the product code (product identification information), product name, price, and purchase format (eat-in / take-out) of each product.

[0013] The flash memory 43 corresponds to an auxiliary storage device, and in addition to the program executed by the CPU 41, various setting data and the like used by the CPU 41 during arithmetic processing are stored. Note that, instead of the flash memory 43, other storage devices such as a hard disk may be used.

[0014] The touch panel 11 is a display means that displays a predetermined screen under the control of the CPU 41. Also, the CPU 41 executes predetermined control processing based on an operation signal output in response to an operation performed on the touch panel 11. This touch panel 11 is an operation means (selection means), that is, a display operation means for selecting an operation of issuing a ticket for a product. The communication unit 47 is a transmission / reception means that executes communication with the outside, and has a function of communicating with an external device (such as a management device) via, for example, a network or a dedicated line. It doesn't matter whether it is wired or wireless.

[0015] The issuing unit 49 is configured to include a mechanism unit that controls the issuance of food tickets for the product selected by the touch panel 11, prints the necessary information about the selected product on the ticket paper, and discharges the printed food tickets to the discharge port 31. That is, the issuing unit 49 is a discharging means for discharging food tickets. The food tickets issued by this issuing unit 49 are issued in a form where they are partially cut (cut both sides leaving only the middle) in the paper width direction, thereby eliminating the need for a tray for the tickets issued in this way.

[0016] The bill processing unit 51 performs all processes related to bills. Specifically, as an authentication process for bills, the bill processing unit 51 determines the type of bills inserted from the bill insertion slot 13. Also, the bill processing unit 51 counts the number of bills for each denomination inserted from the bill insertion slot 13. Further, when returning change, the bill processing unit 51 selects bills of the necessary denominations from the bills stored in the bill storage in the vending machine 1 and discharges the necessary number of bills to the bill discharge slot 15.

[0017] The coin processing unit 53 performs all processes related to coins. Specifically, similar to the bill processing unit 51, the coin processing unit 53 executes operations such as an authentication process for coins, counting the number of coins for each denomination, and selecting coins of the necessary denominations from the coins stored inside the vending machine 1 and discharging them from the coin discharge slot 19.

[0018] Figure 5 is an operation flowchart showing an example of the ticket issuance process executed by the vending machine 1. The process shown in this figure is realized by the CPU 41 executing a program stored in the flash memory 43.

[0019] For example, before the operation of the vending machine 1 starts, an initial screen (first screen) G1 shown in Figure 6 is displayed on its touch panel 11 (step 1-1). As shown in the figure, on the initial screen G1, in addition to the store name G11, order button G13, and language selection button G15, a display column G17 for available payment methods is provided. As another example of this initial screen, a screen for selecting eat-in / takeout may be used.

[0020] The order button G13 is a button for shifting to the next product selection screen G2 by pressing it. The language selection button G15 is a button for selecting the language to be used, and in addition to Japanese and English, various other languages such as Chinese and Korean may be displayed so as to be selectable.

[0021] The payment method display column G17 for available use is a column that displays the payment methods that can be used in this ticket vending machine 1, and the display area of this payment method display column G17 for available use is referred to as the first display area. In this example, the display area of the payment method display column G17 for available use is set as the strip-shaped area at the topmost part of the initial screen G1, but it may be provided at other positions on the initial screen G1.

[0022] Since the display area of the payment method display column G17 for available use is small (narrow), it is not possible to display all the available payment methods simultaneously. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7(a) to 7(d), the available payment method display columns G17-1 to 4 are configured to be displayed in multiple times. For example, first, as shown in FIG. 7(a), the available types of cash are displayed for a predetermined time (for example, several seconds, the same hereinafter). Next, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the available multiple types of electronic money are displayed for a predetermined time. Next, as shown in FIG. 7(c), the available multiple types of credit cards are displayed for a predetermined time. Next, as shown in FIG. 7(d), the payment methods using the available multiple types of mobile terminals are displayed for a predetermined time. And then it returns to the display shown in FIG. 7(a), and the above-mentioned display transition is repeated.

[0023] The available payment method display column G17-1 shown in FIG. 7(a) displays various denominations of available cash. For example, for denominations that cannot be used, various display modes can be considered, such as dimming the display, attaching an "×" mark, or not displaying the display itself. This is the same for the other available payment method display columns G17-2 to 4 described below.

[0024] In the available payment method display column G17-2 shown in FIG. 7(b), the types of available electronic money are displayed. For multiple types of electronic money, if there are too many types to be displayed at once, for example, by automatically moving the display in the direction of arrow A1 shown in FIG. 7(b), all types of electronic money may be displayed. Also, the display may be moved by flicking or swiping with a finger. Also, all types of electronic money may be displayed by simply automatically (or manually) switching the still screen. These points are the same for the other available payment method display columns G17-1, 3 to 4.

[0025] In the available payment method display column G17-3 shown in FIG. 7(c), the types of available credit cards are displayed. Also, in the available payment method display column G17-4 shown in FIG. 7(d), the types of payment means by available mobile terminals are displayed.

[0026] Since there are many payment methods to be displayed in the available payment method display column G17, in order to make it easy to understand what is being displayed at a glance and to reduce the display area of each payment method, as shown in FIG. 7 above, it is preferable to use the logo marks of each payment method as a label. Also, since there is a strong desire to express the image of the store on the initial screen G1, in order not to spoil that image, it is preferable to display the available payment method display column G17 in a small area near the top or bottom thereof. Also, in order to display the available payment method display column G17 in a small area, as shown in the above example, it is preferable to display it so as to be dynamically switched. In other words, by displaying it so as to be dynamically switched, the area of the available payment method display column G17 can be reduced, and it becomes easier for the store to express its own image in a wide space. If the available payment methods are displayed so as to be dynamically switched, customers behind the queue in front of this ticket vending machine 1 can also easily recognize each dynamically switched payment method.

[0027] Also, in the available payment method display column G17-2 shown in FIG. 7(b) above, when all types of payment methods (electronic money in this example) cannot fit into a single display column, the display automatically moves so that all types of payment methods can be displayed. However, for example, as in the available payment method display column G17-5 shown in FIG. 12(a), a page G171 may be displayed at a predetermined position to let the user recognize that there are other payment methods besides the currently displayed one. To change the page, for example, the user may press on the portion of page G171 or other predetermined portions. Also, as in the available payment method display column G17-6 shown in FIG. 12(b), when all types of payment methods (mobile terminal-based payment means in this example) cannot fit into a single display column, arrow symbols G173 are provided on both sides to let the user recognize that there are other payment methods besides the currently displayed one, and by pressing on these symbol G173 portions, etc., other payment methods may be configured to be displayed.

[0028] Also, in the above example, the available payment method display columns G17-1 to 4 are configured to be repeatedly displayed in order. However, for example, as in the available payment method display column G17-7 shown in FIG. 12(c), the classification of available payment methods may be displayed, and by pressing on the portion of the desired classification, the available payment methods included in that classification may be configured to be displayed.

[0029] As described above, since the available payment method display column G17 is displayed on the initial screen G1 shown at the beginning of the operation, the operator of the ticket vending machine 1 can easily confirm the available payment methods before operating the ticket vending machine 1.

[0030] That is, conventionally, since the display of available payment methods was performed on the settlement screen, it was not possible to know which payment methods the ticket vending machine 1 supported from the initial screen before operating the ticket vending machine. For this reason, conventionally, in many stores, as a countermeasure, a POP of "List of Available Payment Methods" created on a paper medium or the like is often posted around the touch panel 11, which may also interfere with the store interior and image. In the ticket vending machine 1 according to the present invention, by displaying an available payment method display column G17 on the initial screen G1 displayed at the beginning of the operation, the display such as POP is made unnecessary, and the above problem is solved.

[0031] Returning to FIG. 5, next, when the order button G13 in the initial screen G1 (when the eat-in / take-out selection screen is displayed as the initial screen, the eat-in / take-out selection button) is pressed (the "Y" in step 1-2), the process proceeds to step 1-3, and first, a first product selection screen (the third screen) G2-1 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. On the first product selection screen G2-1, classified product group buttons G21, 22, 23, 24 are displayed. And in this example, assuming that the product group button G22 is pressed as the desired product group button, a second product selection screen (the third screen) G2-2 as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. And since various selectable products are displayed on this second product selection screen G2-2, one or more desired products are selected from these products (step 1-4). To select, the part where the desired product is displayed may be pressed. The selected product is displayed in the selected product display column G25 at the lower part of the second product selection screen G2-2, and the order quantity and the total amount are also displayed in the selected product display column G25.

[0032] By the way, in this example, the available payment method display column G17 that was displayed on the initial screen G1 is not displayed on either of the first and second product selection screens G2-1 and G2-2. As a result, the entire display screen of the product selection screens G2-1 and G2-2 can be effectively used for product selection. In other words, the selection of products using the product selection screens G2-1 and G2-2 is not hindered by the display of payment methods and can be performed smoothly. If you want to display other categories of product groups, you can press the desired button in the product group button column G27 provided at the top of the product selection screen G2-2.

[0033] Next, when the accounting button G26 in the second product selection screen G2-2 is pressed by the operator who has completed the selection of the product ( "Y" in step 1-5), the settlement screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed (step 1-6). On the settlement screen G3, in addition to the total product column G31 and the receipt required column G33, etc., an available payment selection column G35 is displayed. In the available payment selection column G35, various payment methods that can be used for settlement in this ticket vending machine 1, such as a cash payment selection button G351, a credit card payment selection button G353, an electronic money payment selection button G355, and a mobile terminal payment selection button G357, are mainly displayed using markings such as logo marks. If it cannot be displayed on one screen, it may be configured to switch the display using a "next page" button, an arrow button, or the like. The available payment selection column G35 is a second display area for displaying available payment means, and this available payment selection column G35 has a larger space than the available payment method display column G17 of the initial screen G1, which is the first display area, so that the payment means can be selected easily and surely.

[0034] Next, the operator selects a payment method by pressing any button in the available payment selection field G35 (Step 1-7). When the payment method is selected, a settlement screen G4 corresponding to the payment method, as shown in FIG. 11, is displayed (Step 1-8). In the example shown in FIG. 11, a screen example is shown when a payment method using any electronic money is selected. Then, the operator performs a settlement process according to the instructions displayed on the settlement screen G4 (Step 1-9).

[0035] Thereby, the food tickets printed by the issuing unit 49 of the ticket vending machine 1 are issued from the ticket issuing port 31 (Step 1-10). At the same time, the order information of the settled goods is transmitted to a kitchen printer or a kitchen monitor (not shown), and the cooking of the goods is instructed (Step 1-11).

[0036] Instead of the food ticket, information may be transmitted to a customer's mobile terminal (such as the customer mobile terminal S6 shown in FIG. 3) that has previously downloaded application software using near-field communication or the like, and the goods may be exchanged by the display of the mobile terminal. Also, instead of the food ticket, data may be transmitted to a pager terminal, or an identifier such as an electronic tag may be associated with the goods order information so that the pager terminal makes a call at the time of meal service. In this case, it becomes a commodity sales data processing device (order receiving device) other than the ticket vending machine.

[0037] Incidentally, as described above, the available payment method display column G17 displayed on the initial screen G1 displays the payment methods that can be used in this ticket vending machine 1. Furthermore, by pressing or otherwise selecting the portion of the payment method displayed in the available payment method display column G17, the operator may be configured to be able to select the payment method to be used for payment. With this configuration, not only on the payment screen (second screen) G3 displayed at the time of settlement, but also on the initial screen (first screen) G1 displayed at the beginning of the operation, the payment method can be selected, making it easier to select the payment method. In this case, the payment screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 may be omitted. However, the payment screen G3 may be displayed, and the payment method may be configured to be changeable by selecting a mark indicating a predetermined payment method displayed on the payment screen G3. For the case where no change is made, a screen skip button (not shown) may be provided.

[0038] Also, as described above, in the above example, in order to effectively use the entire display screen of the product selection screen G2 (G2-1, 2), which is the third screen, for product selection, the display column for available payment methods is not displayed on the product selection screen G2 (G2-1, 2). However, like the product selection screen G2´ (G2-2´) shown in FIG. 13, the display column G17´ for available payment methods may be provided in a smaller size as the third display area. At this time, the display column G17´ for available payment methods displayed in the third display area in the product selection screen G2-2´ is displayed in a smaller area than the display column G17 for available payment methods displayed in the first display area in the initial screen G1. As a result, the available payment methods can be displayed in a small space without hindering the display for product selection that is originally displayed on the product selection screen G2-2´. In some cases (for example, when there is sufficient space), the available payment methods (display column G17´ for available payment methods) that can be selected may be configured to be displayed in a third display area that is larger than (or the same size as) the first display area. Furthermore, each part (indicator) of the payment methods displayed in the display column G17´ for available payment methods may be configured to be selectable by pressing or the like. Also in this case, similar to the above, the settlement screen G3 shown in FIG. 10 may be omitted, but the settlement screen G3 may be displayed, and the payment method may be configured to be changeable by selecting an indicator indicating a predetermined payment method displayed on the settlement screen G3.

[0039] Also, when the customer holds the above-mentioned members card (membership card), the members card may be configured to be readable by the ticket vending machine 1 from the start of the operation of the ticket vending machine 1 until the completion of the settlement. If a settlement method is pre-set on the members card, the settlement method is selected and set when the members card is read. When the settlement method is set, the indication of the set settlement method may be made to blink, fade, change color, etc., so as to be different from the indications of other settlement methods in terms of the display mode. Also, the set settlement method may be notified by voice. In the case where no settlement method is set on the members card, the settlement method is selected and determined by the method of the above-described embodiment. Also, even if a settlement method is set on the members card, the settlement method may be configured to be changeable.

[0040] Also, in the above example, the available settlement method display column G17 is displayed in the first area of the initial screen G1. However, without displaying the initial screen G1, the first product selection screen G2-1 or the second product selection screen G2-2 shown in FIG. 8 may be displayed from the beginning, and the available settlement method display column G17 may be displayed as the first screen displayed at the beginning of the operation of these screens.

[0041] As an example of another embodiment, an initial screen (first screen) G1' as shown in FIG. 14 may be displayed on the touch panel 11 of the ticket vending machine 1. In addition to the store name G11' and the receipt required / non-required field G33' on this initial screen G1', a usable payment selection field G35' is displayed in the same manner as the settlement screen G3. In the usable payment selection field G35', various payment methods that can be used for settlement by this ticket vending machine 1, such as a cash payment selection button G351', a credit card payment selection button G353', an electronic money payment selection button G355', and a mobile terminal payment selection button G357', are mainly displayed using markings such as logo marks. If it cannot be displayed on one screen, it may be configured to switch the display using a "next page" button, an arrow button, etc., in the same manner as in the case of the settlement screen G3. The operator selects a payment method by pressing any button in the usable payment selection field G35'. When a payment method is selected, the process proceeds to the first and second product selection screens G2-1 and G2-2 to select products. Next, a settlement screen G4 (the settlement screen G4 shows an example of a screen when a payment method using any electronic money is selected) corresponding to the selected payment method is displayed, and settlement processing is performed according to the instructions displayed on the settlement screen G4. Hereinafter, tickets are issued and the like in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

[0042] As another embodiment, when a prepaid type of electronic money is selected as the payment method, the prepaid type of electronic money card may be read by the ticket vending machine 1 so that the remaining balance of the electronic money card is displayed and temporarily stored in the ticket vending machine 1. Then, by displaying a decrease in the remaining balance (decrease display) each time a product is selected, the customer can select products within the range of the remaining balance of the electronic money, thereby improving the convenience for the customer.

[0043] Summarizing the above content, conventionally, in ticket vending machines and the like, there are various settlement methods for settlement, such as cash settlement, electronic money settlement, credit settlement, etc. Conventionally, the display of these settlement methods has been carried out on the settlement screen. When the settlement method is not displayed unless reaching the settlement screen in this way, it is inconvenient for customers who want to know the settlement methods that can be used from the beginning. Therefore, in the store, POPs and the like are separately installed around the ticket vending machine to display the settlement methods that can be used. However, this work is complicated and not aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to provide a product sales data processing device that can easily confirm the available settlement methods, the following product sales data processing device has been invented.

[0044] That is, the product sales data processing device according to the present invention has display means for displaying at least a first screen displayed at the beginning of operation and a second screen displayed at the time of settlement. The display means displays selectable settlement methods in a first display area provided on the first screen, and displays selectable settlement methods in a second display area larger than the first display area provided on the second screen. According to the present invention, an operator can easily confirm the available settlement methods before operating the product sales data processing device.

[0045] In addition to the above features, the present invention is characterized in that the display means displays a third screen for product selection between the display of the first screen and the display of the second screen, and on the third screen, either does not display selectable settlement methods or displays selectable settlement methods in a third display area smaller than the first display area. According to the present invention, the selection of a product using the third screen can be smoothly performed without being hindered by the display of selectable settlement methods.

[0046] In addition to the above features, the present invention is characterized in that the display means is a touch panel that performs a selection operation by pressing the screen while displaying the screen, and when a mark indicating a payment method displayed in the first display area or the second display area is selected, payment can be made using the selected payment method. According to the present invention, not only on the second screen displayed at the time of payment, but also on the first screen displayed at the beginning of the operation, a payment method can be selected, making it easier to select a payment method.

[0047] In addition to the above features, the present invention is characterized in that the payment method selected in the first display area can be changed by selecting a mark indicating the payment method displayed in the second display area. According to the present invention, the change of the payment method can be easily performed on the second screen displayed when making a payment.

[0048] Also, the program executed by the ticket vending machine 1 according to the above embodiment is assumed to be provided by being pre-installed in a flash memory 43 or the like, but it is not limited to this, and it may be configured to be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a flexible disk (FD), a CD-R, or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) in an installable or executable file format and provided. Further, the program executed by the ticket vending machine 1 of the above embodiment may be stored on a computer connected to a network such as the Internet and provided by being downloaded via the network. Further, the program executed by the ticket vending machine 1 of the above embodiment may be configured to be provided or distributed via the network.

[0049] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims, the specification, and the drawings. Note that any shape, structure, or configuration that is not directly described in the specification and the drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as it exhibits the functions and effects of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, an example of applying the present invention to a ticket vending machine for issuing food coupons was shown, but it can be similarly applied to ticket vending machines for various admission tickets and the like. Furthermore, it can be similarly applied to other various commodity sales data processing devices that do not issue tickets, such as self-checkout machines where customers perform settlement, and full-self terminals where customers perform operations from product registration to settlement. Note that the self-checkout machine and the full-self terminal may be switchable to a ticket vending machine mode.
