Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a settlement management system for ticket vending machines or cash registers in retail stores, restaurants, etc., which can use QR codes (registered trademarks) to perform settings or changes such as device settings, menu types, amounts, etc. when starting the use of ticket vending machines or cash registers used in retail stores, restaurants, etc.

Background Art

[0002] When starting the use of ticket vending machines or cash registers used in retail stores, restaurants, amusement facilities, etc., it is necessary to perform device settings at the start of use, specify the names and types of various provided contents, set respective amounts, etc., and start up the device. Therefore, it is necessary to specify settings for each device for various items and contents in each facility. Furthermore, when modifying the set contents once set, it is necessary to perform settings such as modification for each device in advance. For example, when showing seasonal characteristics or setting a sale period, etc., it is necessary to perform such habit settings at the start of each operation, and when the setting time has passed, it is necessary to perform modification settings such as modification and deletion of the special settings for each device each time.

[0003] For example, it is necessary to open the door of each device to change internal settings and make necessary modifications, which is not only time-consuming and complicated, extremely laborious, but may also incur a great deal of costs. Therefore, there has been a demand for some measures to reduce such labor as much as possible and perform it easily. On the other hand, currently, the application of QR codes (registered trademarks) is being utilized to read data more simply and reliably regarding data reading. However, QR codes (registered trademarks) are mostly used to read specific data as QR codes (registered trademarks) in advance. Examples include the parking ticket authentication system shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-128279, the parking ticket authentication system shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-190308, or the parking ticket authentication system using a QR code (registered trademark) shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-73325.

[0004] These are simply QR codes containing parking ticket data. Alternatively, there is a patent, No. 6931500, for a parking system and program. Furthermore, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2017-59064, the settlement system includes a sales system and a product selection system, but it merely uses data obtained by reading a two-dimensional code, such as a QR code (registered trademark), to identify product information. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-128279 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-190308 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-73325 [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 6931500 [Patent Document 5] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2017-59064 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] As described above, even when using QR codes (registered trademark), which are data read from two-dimensional codes to obtain data, they have been used in ways such as digitizing parking tickets and reading them as part of a system, or using QR codes (registered trademark) to read and obtain data from two-dimensional codes to identify product information, with the code merely being used for the purpose of obtaining this data. Therefore, this code was used for the convenience of identifying data, and furthermore, the data read was merely data used to read the data that was originally needed. It was not intended to be the foundation of a more effective system that would broaden the scope of use of the system itself by reading data from a two-dimensional code and utilizing it in new ways.

[0007] Furthermore, even when used as a vending machine, it was traditionally only used to identify the product being sold or purchased, and did not go beyond that scope. Therefore, it was desired to use a system that would make it easier to configure settings such as ticket vending machines and fare adjustment machines when they are first put into use, as well as to configure or change menu types and prices, by using a two-dimensional code, such as a QR code (registered trademark), to read various complex data that needs to be configured or changed, and then use that data to modify the settings of the machine itself. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] Therefore, the invention according to claim 1 is a settlement management system for ticket vending machines or settlement machines in retail stores and restaurants that uses a QR reader (registered trademark), i.e., a QR code (registered trademark) reader, to issue tickets and settle payments, wherein the ticket vending machine or settlement machine has a QR reader (registered trademark) for reading, and comprises the steps of: linking the data of the ticket vending machine or settlement machine to a QR code in advance; and reading the QR code (registered trademark) using the QR reader (registered trademark), i.e., a QR code (registered trademark) reader, for the ticket vending machine or settlement machine to input the data into the ticket vending machine or settlement machine, and is a settlement management system for ticket vending machines or settlement machines using a QR code (registered trademark) to input necessary data into the ticket vending machine or settlement machine, and the problem can be solved by this invention.

[0009] In this case, the invention according to claim 2 is a settlement management system for a ticket vending machine or settlement machine using a QR code, which has final data retrieval data for retrieving final settlement data, and includes the steps of linking the final data retrieval data of the ticket vending machine or settlement machine to a QR code at the ticket vending machine or settlement machine, and reading the QR code using a QR reader for reading on a mobile terminal or personal computer to retrieve the final data retrieval data on the mobile terminal or personal computer, and the invention may be as described above.

[0010] Alternatively, the invention according to claim 3 is a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine fare adjustment management system that uses a QR code to input corrected data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and includes the steps of having correction data for the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, linking the correction data for the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine to a QR code, and reading the QR code using a QR reader for reading the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and the invention may be used.

[0011] Furthermore, the invention according to claim 4 is a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine fare adjustment management system that has data relating to the maintenance of the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and includes the steps of linking the maintenance data of the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine to a QR code, and reading the QR code using a QR reader for reading the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine and inputting the maintenance data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and the invention may be used. Furthermore, the invention according to claim 5 is a settlement management system for a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine using a QR code, which uses data for data retrieval instead of data for final data retrieval, and this invention may also be used. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] As described above, the invention described in claim 1 includes a step of linking data from a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine to a QR code, enabling data exchange using the QR code, and allowing data to be input to the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine by a step of inputting the data linked to the QR code. In particular, data entry into ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines is usually done manually, which is extremely complicated and time-consuming. Although it is required that the data to be entered be entered correctly, errors can occur depending on the input procedure and method, and data entry itself requires a great deal of time and effort.

[0013] Therefore, instead of directly inputting the data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine beforehand, the data is entered into a mobile device or computer, and then linked to a QR code. This QR code can then be used to input the data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine. Therefore, the ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines installed on site will allow data to be entered easily and quickly via a QR code reader. Therefore, it is possible to provide a settlement management system for ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines that allows for extremely easy input of necessary data.

[0014] Next, according to the invention of claim 2, the final settlement data can be retrieved from the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine by adding the final settlement data retrieval data to a QR code at the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and by reading the QR code using a QR reader for reading on a mobile terminal or personal computer, thereby retrieving the final settlement data to a mobile terminal or personal computer. Therefore, it will be possible to easily exchange data using QR codes.

[0015] Next, according to the invention according to claim 3, it is possible to easily send correction data related to products, prices, etc. to a ticket vending machine or a payment machine. Instead of directly inputting it into the ticket vending machine or the payment machine in advance, correction data related to products, prices, etc. is input into a mobile device or a personal computer, and further linked to a QR code through a process of linking to the QR code. Using this QR code, data can be input into the ticket vending machine or the payment machine. Therefore, correction data can be easily and quickly input into the ticket vending machine or the payment machine installed at the site through a QR reader for reading.

[0016] Also, according to the invention according to claim 4, similarly, data related to maintenance can be easily sent to a ticket vending machine or a payment machine. Instead of directly inputting it into the ticket vending machine or the payment machine in advance, data related to maintenance such as products and prices is input into a mobile device or a personal computer, and further linked to a QR code through a process of linking to the QR code. Using this QR code, data can be input into the ticket vending machine or the payment machine.

[0017] Furthermore, according to the invention according to claim 5, data for data extraction can be used in place of data for final settlement data extraction. The process of linking the data for data extraction of the ticket vending machine or the payment machine to a QR code in the ticket vending machine or the payment machine and the process of using a QR reader for reading of a mobile terminal or a personal computer to read the QR code and extracting the data for data extraction to the mobile terminal or the personal computer are included, and the data for data extraction can be extracted from the ticket vending machine or the payment machine to a mobile terminal, a personal computer, etc. Therefore, the data for data extraction can be easily extracted at the necessary stage.

[Figure 3]A diagram illustrating an example of the system flow according to the present invention. [Figure 4] A diagram showing the system flow when the settlement management system according to the present invention is used in a ticket vending machine. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0019] First, the present invention relates to a data management system for issuing tickets and settling payments in retail stores, restaurants, and the like, and more particularly to a payment management system. Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the basic data flow for payment machines and other equipment in retail stores, including initial setup, operation, and creation of operational data. First, regarding the payment machine, it is necessary to pre-enter the data for payment. For example, in a retail store, this would include a payment machine used to settle payments when selling goods. When settling payments, the retail store's product list, its price, and quantity are pre-entered as data into the payment machine, and the payment is settled at the time of settlement. Therefore, it is used, for example, as a cash register.

[0020] This allows data being stored within the payment machine, enabling the creation of payment data at the time of payment, and for example, the ability to summarize data for the entire day. Figure 1 illustrates the basic flow of this process, under which the payment machine operates normally. In such cases, in order to utilize the system according to the present invention, the payment machine itself must first have a QR reader (registered trademark) for reading data, that is, a QR code (registered trademark) reading device.

[0021] Figure 2 shows the flow of a system using the sales management system according to the present invention, which has a QR reader for reading the data. This invention is intended for use in ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines, and this figure specifically illustrates the case with respect to a fare adjustment machine. However, for the purposes of this specification, the explanation is not limited to fare adjustment machines, but applies to ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines in general. First, when starting up this payment machine, initial setup can be performed using a QR code (registered trademark), which is a data reading code using a two-dimensional code. Data is entered using the setup QR code, and since it only requires scanning the QR code, data created on a mobile device or computer can be easily sent to the payment machine by scanning the QR code created on the device, and the payment machine can then be configured to operate as needed.

[0022] This involves pre-setting data such as a product list, prices, and quantities, creating a QR code for device configuration, and inputting the necessary data into the payment machine. Alternatively, a dedicated format is created in advance, and the necessary data is created using a separate PC or data terminal, managed as necessary two-dimensional data, and this two-dimensional data is used as a QR code. This is then read directly by a QR reader on the payment machine, and the necessary data is stored in the payment machine. For example, it may also include information necessary for configuring the payment machine's hardware, such as its unique ID, network settings, and other settings.

[0023] This required manually inputting each of these items into the payment machine using the machine's input terminals, which was extremely time-consuming and laborious. In contrast, by using this sales management system, the data itself can be easily created separately and stored in the payment machine using a 2D code reader, enabling it to operate. As described above, this is a payment management system that uses a QR reader for reading QR codes in ticket vending machines or payment machines in retail stores and restaurants to issue tickets and process payments, and is applicable to systems that have a QR reader for reading QR codes in the ticket vending machine or payment machine. In this case, it is necessary to input data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine as initial settings, etc. However, by linking this input data to a QR code using a mobile device or computer and sending this QR code to the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, the necessary data can be entered into the machine correctly and easily.

[0024] Therefore, the system includes the steps of linking data from a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine to a QR code in advance, and reading the QR code using a QR reader for the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine to input the data into the machine. This makes it possible to provide a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine fare adjustment management system that allows necessary data to be entered into the machine using a QR code. Furthermore, the payment machine itself naturally has a function to store data generated during operation, and based on this function, it can accumulate necessary payment data. This allows the payment amount to be clearly displayed at the time of payment, and also allows for the recording of sales data. Furthermore, this data naturally includes product lists, prices, and quantities, and can store all necessary data along with the payment function.

[0025] Therefore, the data area for the payment machine, including product information, price, quantity, and receipt data, is created in advance on a personal computer or mobile device. This created data is then read from a two-dimensional code and sent to the payment machine by the QR code reader of the QR code. This transmitted data will be read and processed as data by the payment machine. Therefore, the payment machine can be utilized based on this data. This means that, whereas previously separate data had to be individually entered directly into the payment machine, the entire data can now be created on a computer or mobile device and sent to the payment machine using a QR code, making it easy and quick to transmit. In particular, for various setting data such as the settings for payment machines, in addition to this product-related information, information necessary for setting the machine's hardware, such as the machine's unique ID and network settings, would normally have to be entered individually and directly for each machine, but now it can be easily entered as setting data.

[0026] Next, the system allows users to input corrected data midway through the process as needed. In other words, when selling products, it becomes possible to easily input corrected data into the payment machine as needed, such as changes in pricing, special services, such as setting up time-limited or daily special items, or adding new products or variations to existing products. For example, corrected data can be created, linked to a QR code, and then read by a QR reader for data reading, allowing for easy input of the corrected data into the payment machine. Furthermore, during maintenance, it is possible to load corrected data to perform necessary checks and other operations. For example, ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines may require maintenance during operation, and data entry for necessary maintenance is also required. In other words, data for maintenance and other purposes is created in advance, linked to a QR code, and the necessary data can be read using a QR reader for data reading, allowing for easy input of price adjustments or maintenance data into the payment machine.

[0027] Therefore, for example, the process includes creating maintenance data, linking this maintenance data to a QR code, and further, reading the QR code with a data reading QR reader and inputting the maintenance data into the payment machine. This allows maintenance data to be entered into ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines using QR codes, making the data entry process easy. As described above, regarding correction data or maintenance data for correcting products and prices on ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines, this correction data or maintenance data can be entered into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine at the time required. Alternatively, correction data or maintenance data can be created on a mobile device or computer, and this necessary data can be linked to a QR code.

[0028] Therefore, the linked correction data or maintenance data can be easily entered into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine by reading the QR code using the QR reader for reading the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and the process involves entering the correction data or maintenance data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine. This enables the provision of a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine settlement management system that allows for easy and accurate input of correction data and maintenance data using QR codes. In addition, data will be created to allow the retrieval of data from ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines as needed, and this retrieval data will be created and retrieved when necessary. In this case, for example, the data may be transmitted via wired or wireless connection between a mobile device or a personal computer.

[0029] Alternatively, the data to be retrieved may be pre-associated with a QR code, and the data may be retrieved using this QR code. In this case, the process involves linking the data to be retrieved to a QR code. Therefore, this may involve using a QR code to retrieve data. This allows for easy retrieval of data from ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines. This retrieval data can then be read by a QR code reader for data reading, enabling data extraction from the fare adjustment machines or ticket vending machines. Finally, after the payment machine has been put into operation, it is also possible to retrieve the final payment data from within the machine. This makes it possible to retrieve final settlement data, which is the final settlement data retrieval data, using the same means as the aforementioned retrieval data.

[0030] In other words, the final aggregated data can be retrieved after the end of the day's business activities. In this case, the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine can be accessed wirelessly or via wired connection to a mobile device or computer, and may be accessed using a QR code in particular. Instead of the previously extracted data, the final data is extracted in a similar manner, but this final data is pre-associated with a QR code through an association process. The data is then associated with a QR code, and the QR code is read by a QR reader to retrieve the final data. In this case, the system can be utilized by having a function that links the QR code to the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, and also has a function to display the linked QR code. Furthermore, even without this function, the system's basis can be fully utilized if at least the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine has a QR reader, allowing for the exchange of data using QR codes.

[0031] Furthermore, the data used for retrieval, and the so-called final data used for retrieval, may be exchanged separately via wired, wireless, paper, or other media, as described above. This allows us to retrieve the data resulting from the settlement of accounts for the entire day. As described above, for example, when retrieving the final aggregated data, the retrieval data and the final settlement data are linked to a QR code, the data for retrieving the final settlement data is read by a QR reader for data reading, the data is extracted, or the final settlement data is printed out, and finally the data is retrieved. For example, it allows you to retrieve the final data at the end of the day's summary. In this case, the system may allow for the extraction of individual settlement results as data, or it may allow for the extraction of total settlement data, or it may allow for the extraction of both.

[0032] As described above, by using this system, when operating a payment machine, various data that needs to be entered into the payment machine must not be entered individually by hand. Instead, the payment machine is equipped with a QR code reader, and data created in advance is linked to the QR code on the QR code reader. By inputting the necessary data into the payment machine via the QR code on the reader, the payment machine can be operated, necessary data can be entered or modified, and various maintenance can be performed easily, and final settlement can be carried out. This is a user-friendly data management system that allows for extremely easy input of necessary data and operation, while minimizing time, unnecessary labor costs, and other expenses.

[0033] Furthermore, Figure 3 shows an example of the system's flow, illustrating a payment management system that uses a QR code reader for ticket vending machines or payment machines in retail stores and restaurants to issue tickets and process payments. Basically, this system has a QR code reader on the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine. First, the process involves linking data from a ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine to a QR code in advance. This process creates data to be read by ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines and links it to a QR code. Furthermore, the process includes reading the QR code using a QR reader and inputting the data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine in order to send the data to the machine. This process involves inputting necessary data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine using a QR code, resulting in a fare adjustment management system for ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines that utilizes QR codes. In this case, various types of data to be entered into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine, such as correction data and maintenance data, are created separately and linked to a QR code. Furthermore, the system uses a QR reader to read the QR code and then inputs the data into the ticket vending machine or fare adjustment machine in order to send the data to the machine, thus enabling easy and reliable input of the necessary data into the machine.

[0034] Next, Figure 4 shows an example of a settlement management system for a ticket vending machine according to the present invention. First, in the case of ticket vending machines for restaurants and other establishments, the necessary data regarding the products to be sold, such as the contents of the ticket to be issued, for example, in the case of a restaurant, such as a list of products and their prices, is entered into the vending machine. In this case, it would normally be necessary to manually enter each of the numerous types of products and their prices into the ticket vending machine. In other words, it is necessary to input data such as the types of menu items and prices, tailored to each individual store. In contrast, the ticket vending machine settlement management system according to the present invention first has a QR reader for reading data in the ticket vending machine. Therefore, necessary product data and price data for the required stores are created as QR codes for device configuration and linked to the device.

[0035] Therefore, it includes at least a step of linking data, etc., to a QR code. In this case, for example, this data is created in advance on a personal computer or mobile device using the necessary software, and this data is then linked to a QR code. Furthermore, the data used to configure the ticket vending machine includes, similar to the aforementioned fare adjustment machine, product-related information, as well as the machine's unique ID, network settings, and other information necessary for configuring the ticket vending machine's hardware. When configuring the machine, this information is entered in advance using necessary software, creating the data on a PC or mobile device beforehand, and then linking this data to a QR code. Furthermore, a QR code reader is used to read the QR code associated with the data, sending the data to the ticket vending machine and simultaneously inputting the necessary data into the machine. Therefore, it becomes easy to input the necessary data into the ticket vending machine, eliminating the need for complicated input procedures, and allowing for simple data entry into the ticket vending machine.

[0036] These features enable the initial setup of the ticket vending machine. By using these QR codes to input data into the ticket vending machine, the initial setup, which is usually extremely time-consuming, can be performed easily and safely. Next, during operation, corrected data, such as setting special offers, special discounts, or changes to the products offered, is created on an information terminal or PC, linked using a QR code, and this QR code is read by a QR reader for data reading, and the necessary data is entered into the ticket vending machine. In this case as well, similar to the above, correction data necessary for operation as a ticket vending machine is created, such as changes in pricing, i.e., special services, i.e., setting of time-limited or daily service items, or the addition of new products or product variations. This correction data is then linked to the QR code.

[0037] Furthermore, a QR reader for data reading is used to read the QR code linked to the data, sending the data to the ticket vending machine and simultaneously prompting the machine to input the necessary data. Therefore, at the very least, the process of linking the QR code allows the necessary correction codes to be entered into the ticket vending machine via a reader. Naturally, this correction data is created in advance on a personal computer or mobile device using the necessary software, and this data is then linked to the QR code. This makes it easy and reliable to send the data that needs correction to the ticket vending machine. Furthermore, when performing maintenance on the ticket vending machine's settlement management system, maintenance data is created in the same way and linked to a QR code. The QR code linked to the maintenance data is then read via a QR reader for data reading, sending the maintenance data to the ticket vending machine and inputting the corrected data.

[0038] Furthermore, even while the ticket vending machine is in operation, for example during business hours, if previous settlement data is needed at a specific time, or if a particular product is sold out and previous settlement data is required, the settlement data can be retrieved via wired, wireless, or paper media. Alternatively, this retrieved data can be linked to a QR code, and this QR code can be read via a QR reader and then read on a mobile device, computer, or other device to extract the management data and obtain the necessary data. Therefore, it becomes possible to instruct the ticket vending machine to perform the necessary processing when needed, to do so easily and quickly, and to retrieve the necessary data. Furthermore, at the end of the day, the final data, which is the data used for retrieving the final data, can be retrieved. For example, it is possible to retrieve the final settlement data.

[0039] This also involves linking a QR code to the data for final data retrieval, and then retrieving the data via a QR reader using this QR code. Of course, it is also possible to retrieve the final settlement data via wired, wireless, or paper media.

[0040] As described above, by using QR codes and linking various data to the QR codes, it is possible to easily send necessary data to ticket vending machines and fare adjustment machines. Furthermore, data to be retrieved as needed can also be linked to the QR codes through the same process, providing a fare adjustment management system for ticket vending machines or fare adjustment machines.
