[0008] 1 is a conceptual diagram of a network for explaining a sales system 1 according to an embodiment. The sales system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a store controller 10, a registration device 20, a settlement device 30, a registration settlement device 40, a registration settlement device 50, and a transaction status management device 60.
[0009] The store controller 10, the registration device 20, the settlement device 30, the registration settlement device 40, the registration settlement device 50, and the transaction status management device 60 are communicatively connected via a LAN 19 (which may be wired or wireless). The sales system 1 can be introduced in various stores (supermarkets, convenience stores, drug stores, home centers, home appliance retailers, etc.).
[0010] The number of each device (terminal) is an example in Fig. 1. For example, although "..." is illustrated to the right of the registration device 20 in Fig. 1, the number of registration devices 20 may be one or more.
[0011] The sales system 1 can provide services in the following modes: in addition to the mode where a store clerk uses the registration settlement device 40 to register and settle goods, there are also services in the mode (so-called semi-self) where a store clerk uses the registration device 20 to register goods and a customer uses the settlement device 30 to settle, and services in the mode (so-called full-self) where a customer uses the registration settlement device 50 to register and settle goods.
[0012] (Store controller 10) The store controller 10 is, for example, a server or the like. The store controller 10 communicates with each device within the LAN 19 (for example, the registration device 20, etc.) and devices outside the LAN 19 (for example, the head office server (not shown)). For example, the store controller 10 receives the product master (product file) and the special sale file from the head office server and supplies them to each device within the LAN 19.
[0013] (Registration device 20) The registration device 20 is used for a store clerk to register goods. Although the illustration is omitted, the registration device 20 includes a CPU 201, a ROM 202, a RAM 203, a hard disk 204, a customer-side display unit 205, a store clerk-side display unit 210, a key operation unit 211, a scanner unit 212, a printing unit 213, an audio output unit 214, and a communication unit 215. These can communicate with each other via a bus.
[0014] The CPU 201 is a central processing unit, and controls the operation of the registration device 20 by reading and executing the programs stored in the ROM 202. The ROM 202 is a read-only memory and stores various types of information used by the CPU 201, including programs. The RAM 203 is a read-write memory and stores various types of information as the main memory device. For example, the RAM 203 stores information read from the ROM 202 or the hard disk 204, information acquired from the outside, information generated during processing, and so on. The hard disk 204 stores various information as an auxiliary storage device. The hard disk 204 may store, for example, programs executed by the CPU 201 instead of the ROM 202. Further, the hard disk 204 may store information read from the ROM 202, information acquired from the outside, information generated in the process, etc. instead of the RAM 203. Note that a storage device such as an SSD (Solid State Drive) may be provided instead of the hard disk 204.
[0015] The customer-side display unit 205 is a touch display, which displays various information to the customer and accepts various operations (for example, age confirmation operation) from the customer. The store clerk-side display unit 210 is a touch display, which displays various information to the store clerk and accepts various operations from the store clerk. The key operation unit 211 arranges various buttons (keys) operated by the store clerk.
[0016] The scanner unit 212 optically reads various information. For example, the scanner unit 212 scans the code attached to the product and reads the product code (JAN code, etc.). Further, the scanner unit 212 may scan the code attached to the name tag of the store clerk, etc. and read the store clerk code. Also, the scanner unit 212 may scan the codes attached to coupons and various cards and read their respective information. Note that the scanner unit 212 is used when the store clerk registers a product, but the store clerk may register the product by other methods. For example, when a preset key corresponding to the product is displayed on the store clerk-side display unit 210, the store clerk may operate the preset key to register the product. Also, when a key corresponding to the product (for example, a key corresponding to a sports newspaper) is arranged on the key operation unit 211, the store clerk may operate (press) the key to register the product.
[0017] The printing department 213 prints and issues various media. For example, the printing department 213 prints and issues accounting vouchers, receipts, coupon vouchers, etc. The registration device 20 basically causes the settlement device 30 to execute the settlement process. When causing the settlement device 30 to execute the settlement process, it is necessary to supply registration information (transaction information) to the settlement device 30. As a method of supplying registration information to the settlement device 30, there are a method of transmitting the registration information to the settlement device 30 (indirectly through other devices (such as the store controller 10, etc.) or directly. The same applies hereinafter), and a method of using an accounting voucher (registered trademark) read by the settlement device 30. In the case of the latter method, the printing department 213 prints and issues the accounting voucher. Also, the registration device 20 may execute the settlement process in its own device (the said registration device 20) (for example, when coupons, etc. are used and the settlement is completed). When executing the settlement process in its own device (the said registration device 20), after the completion of the settlement process, the printing department 213 prints and issues receipts, coupon vouchers, etc. The voice output unit 214 outputs voice. For example, the voice output unit 214 outputs confirmation sounds, warning sounds, voice guidance, etc.
[0018] The communication unit 215 transmits and receives information (such as product master, special sale file, registration information, etc.) to and from other devices (such as the store controller 10, the settlement device 30, the transaction status management device 60, etc.).
[0019] (Settlement device 30) The settlement device 30 is used for customers to settle (make payments). Although not shown in the figure, the settlement device 30 includes a CPU 301, a ROM 302, a RAM 303, a hard disk 304, a customer-side display unit 305, a scanner unit 306, a card settlement unit (non-cash settlement unit) 308, a change machine (cash settlement unit) 309, a store employee-side display unit 310, a printing unit 313, a voice output unit 314, a communication unit 315, an imaging unit 316, and a signature pole 317. These can communicate with each other via a bus.
[0020] The CPU 301, ROM 302, RAM 303, hard disk 304, and voice output unit 314 included in the settlement device 30 are the same as those included in the registration device 20, namely the CPU 201, ROM 202, RAM 203, hard disk 204, and voice output unit 214. Therefore, part or all of the description will be omitted.
[0021] The customer-side display unit 305 is a touch display, which displays various information to the customer and accepts various operations from the customer. For example, the customer-side display unit 305 accepts an operation to select (specify) the settlement type (settlement method).
[0022] The scanner unit 306 optically reads various information. For example, the scanner unit 306 scans the code printed on the receipt and reads the information necessary for the settlement process. Also, the scanner unit 306 scans the code attached to the name tag of the store clerk or the like and reads the store clerk code. Note that the settlement device 30 is a device that settles based on the registration information registered by another device (registration device 20). However, for example, when adding a product, the scanner unit 306 may scan the code attached to the product and read the product code (JAN code, etc.).
[0023] The card settlement unit 308 is a settlement mechanism for various cards (credit cards, prepaid cards such as transportation cards, point cards for point payments, and cash cards for debit payments). The card settlement unit 308 may include a card recognition unit (reading unit), a display unit, an operation unit, and a communication unit, but it suffices if it at least includes a card recognition unit. Note that the card recognition unit may recognize various cards (for example, point cards, membership cards, shareholder cards, etc.) for privilege granting, discounts, etc.
[0024] The change dispenser 309 is a cash settlement mechanism that has an inlet for bills and coins, an outlet for bills and coins, calculates the amount of money inserted into the inlet, calculates the change amount which is the difference between the inserted amount and the purchase amount, and discharges the change from the outlet. When bills or coins are inserted into the inlet, they are detected by sensors (detection of insertion, detection of the number of each denomination, etc.).
[0025] The clerk display unit 310 displays various information to the clerk. Note that the clerk display unit 310 may be a touch display and may accept various operations from the clerk. The printing unit 313 prints and issues various media. For example, the printing unit 313 issues receipts, coupon tickets, etc. The communication unit 315 transmits and receives information (such as product master, special sale file, registration information, settlement information after settlement completion, etc.) to and from other devices (for example, store controller 10, registration device 20, transaction status management device 60, etc.). The imaging unit 316, for example, images customers. Note that the settlement device 30 may be equipped with two or more imaging units 316 and may simultaneously image the face and the hands (near the inlet and outlet of the change dispenser 309). The sign pole 317 has a light emitting part at the tip and notifies various information (clerk call, operation status, etc.) according to the light emitting mode of the light emitting part.
[0026] Note that the card settlement unit 308 may be composed of a plurality of members corresponding to the cards to be read. That is, the settlement device 30 may be equipped with a plurality of card settlement units such as a first card settlement unit 308a for prepaid cards and a second card settlement unit 308b for credit cards, for example. Also, the card settlement unit may be a separate body connected (wired or wirelessly) to the settlement device 30. The same applies to the card settlement units of other devices (registration settlement devices 40, 50). The same also applies to the change dispenser.
[0027] Further, the settlement device 30 (the same applies to the registered settlement device 50) may further include a key operation unit for arranging various buttons. Further, the settlement device 30 (the same applies to the registered settlement devices 40 and 50) may further include a sensor (such as a human presence sensor) for detecting the presence of a person.
[0028] (Registered settlement device 40) The registered settlement device 40 is used for registering and settling goods by a store clerk. Although not shown, the registered settlement device 40 includes a CPU 401, a ROM 402, a RAM 403, a hard disk 404, a customer-side display unit 405, a card settlement unit (non-cash settlement unit) 408, a change dispenser (cash settlement unit) 409, a store clerk-side display unit 410, a key operation unit 411, a scanner unit 412, a printing unit 413, an audio output unit 414, and a communication unit 415. These can communicate with each other via a bus.
[0029] Regarding the CPU 401, ROM 402, RAM 403, hard disk 404, customer-side display unit 405, store clerk-side display unit 410, key operation unit 411, scanner unit 412, and audio output unit 414 included in the registered settlement device 40, since they are the same as those included in the registration device 20, namely the CPU 201, ROM 202, RAM 203, hard disk 204, customer-side display unit 205, store clerk-side display unit 210, key operation unit 211, scanner unit 212, and audio output unit 214, part or all of the description will be omitted. Regarding the card settlement unit 408, change dispenser 409, and printing unit 413 included in the registered settlement device 40, since they are the same as the card settlement unit 308, change dispenser 309, and printing unit 313 included in the settlement device 30, part or all of the description will be omitted.
[0030] The communication unit 415 transmits and receives information (such as product master, special sale file, settlement information, etc.) to and from other devices (such as the store controller 10, transaction status management device 60, etc.).
[0031] (Registered settlement device 50) The registration and settlement device 50 is used for the registration and settlement of goods by customers. Although illustration is omitted, the registration and settlement device 50 includes a CPU 501, a ROM 502, a RAM 503, a hard disk 504, a customer-side display unit 505, a scanner unit 506, a card settlement unit (non-cash settlement unit) 508, a change dispenser (cash settlement unit) 509, a store clerk-side display unit 510, a printing unit 513, an audio output unit 514, a communication unit 515, an imaging unit 516, and a signature pole 517. These can communicate with each other via a bus.
[0032] Since the CPU 501, ROM 502, RAM 503, hard disk 504, customer-side display unit 505, scanner unit 506, card settlement unit (non-cash settlement unit) 508, change dispenser (cash settlement unit) 509, store clerk-side display unit 510, printing unit 513, audio output unit 514, imaging unit 516, and signature pole 517 included in the registration and settlement device 50 are the same as those included in the settlement device 30, namely the CPU 301, ROM 302, RAM 303, hard disk 304, customer-side display unit 305, scanner unit 306, card settlement unit (non-cash settlement unit) 308, change dispenser (cash settlement unit) 309, store clerk-side display unit 310, printing unit 313, audio output unit 314, imaging unit 316, and signature pole 317, part or all of the description thereof will be omitted.
[0033] The communication unit 515 transmits and receives information (such as product master, special sale file, settlement information, etc.) to and from other devices (such as the store controller 10, transaction status management device 60, etc.).
[0034] (Transaction status management device 60) The transaction status management device 60 is, for example, a personal computer or the like. The transaction status management device 60 is a device mainly for managing each device within the LAN 19. For example, the transaction status management device 60 communicates with each device within the LAN 19 and monitors the processing status, operation status (operating status), etc. of each device within the LAN 19.
[0035] In the following description, in the sales system 1 (or a store that has introduced the sales system 1, hereinafter referred to as store T), as the payment types, cash, point cards (A point card, B point card), electronic money (C electronic money, D electronic money), credit cards (E credit card), and gift tickets (gift ticket 1, gift ticket 2) can be selected. The "point card" selected as the payment type means the use (consumption) of points. Also, in the sales system 1 (store T), according to the payment type, the following benefits (points that can be used for payment in subsequent times. 1 point can be used as 1 yen) are granted. It is assumed that gift ticket 1 (similarly for gift ticket 2) is a 500-yen ticket. (1) Cash payment: 1 point for every 200 yen (2) Payment by A point card: 1 point for every 200 yen (3) Payment by B point card: 1 point for every 300 yen (4) Payment by C electronic money: 1 point for every 200 yen (5) Payment by D electronic money: 1 point for every 300 yen (6) Payment by E credit card: 1 point for every 300 yen (7) Payment by gift ticket 1: 1 point for every 200 yen (8) Payment by gift ticket 2: 1 point for every 300 yen
[0036] In the sales system 1 (store T), multiple (two or more) settlement types are available for a single transaction. However, from the perspective of background processing (processing on the point management system), it is assumed that settlements using multiple settlement types with the same point awarding conditions (point awarding conditions) are permitted. That is, in the sales system 1 (store T), as a single transaction, settlements (settlements) that mix (use in combination) multiple settlement types with the same point awarding conditions are permitted, but settlements that mix multiple settlement types with different point awarding conditions are prohibited. For example, settlements using two types, cash and A point card, or settlements using three types, B point card, D electronic money, and E credit card, are permitted, but settlements using two types, A point card and B point card, are prohibited. Note that the point awarding conditions and the like are stored at a location (within LAN 19 or externally) that can be referenced by each device.
[0037] (Display examples of the registration device 20 and the settlement device 30) Figure 2 is a display example of the registration device 20. Figure 3 is a display example of the settlement device 30. Figure 4 is a display example of the settlement device 30 and the like. It is assumed that there are two settlement devices 30 (202 cash register, 203 cash register) in store T that can receive the registration information transmitted from the registration device 20.
[0038] (Display example 1 of the registration device 20 / settlement device 30) As Display Example 1, the display examples when vouchers are not used for settlement will be described using FIGS. 2(A), 2(B), 3(A), 3(B), 3(C), 3(D), and 4(A).
[0039] In the initial state (before registering a single-item product), the registration device 20 displays an initial registration screen (a registration screen before registering a single-item product, not shown) on the store clerk display unit 210. When the registration device 20 registers a product on the initial registration screen, it displays a registration screen on the store clerk display unit 210. For example, when the registration device 20 registers tomatoes as a single-item product on the initial registration screen and registers eel grilled eel as the second-item product on the registration screen, it displays a registration screen as shown in Fig. 2(A) on the store clerk display unit 210. In the registration screen shown in Fig. 2(A), BT10 at the lower part of the screen is a subtotal button for ending the registration (registration process) of the product.
[0040] When the subtotal button BT10 is operated on the registration screen shown in Fig. 2(A), the registration device 20 displays a subtotal screen as shown in Fig. 2(B) on the store clerk display unit 210. In the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 2(B), BT12 at the lower part of the screen is a device designation button for designating (selecting) register 202 as the transmission destination for transmitting the registration information of the transaction to execute the settlement of the transaction at register 202 (one of the settlement devices 30). Similarly, BT13 is a device designation button for designating register 203 as the transmission destination for transmitting the registration information of the transaction to execute the settlement of the transaction at register 203 (one of the settlement devices 30). When the registration device 20 accepts the operation of the device designation button BT12, it transmits the registration information including the product code of the registered product and the quantity of each product to the settlement device 30 (register 202). When the registration device 20 accepts the operation of the device designation button BT13, it transmits the registration information including the product code of the registered product and the quantity of each product to the settlement device 30 (register 203). Note that the registration device 20 may transmit the registration information including the total amount in addition to the product code of the registered product and the quantity of each product to the settlement device 30.
[0041] In the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 2(B), BT14 at the bottom of the screen is a receipt button for printing and issuing a receipt related to the transaction in order to execute the settlement of the transaction at register No. 202 (or register No. 203). When the receipt button BT14 is operated, the registration device 20 encodes and prints the information necessary for executing the settlement of the transaction and issues a printed receipt. The receipt is handed to the customer, and the customer takes the receipt and moves to the device (register No. 202 or register No. 203) for settling the transaction, and causes the code printed on the receipt to be read by the device at the destination.
[0042] In the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 2(B), BT15 at the bottom of the screen is a coupon 1 button for declaring the use of coupon 1. BT16 is a coupon 2 button for declaring the use of coupon 2. For example, when the store clerk receives coupon 1 from the customer, the clerk operates the coupon 1 button BT15, and when the store clerk receives coupon 2 from the customer, the clerk operates the coupon 2 button BT16.
[0043] In the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 2(B), BT17 at the bottom of the screen is a registration screen button for displaying the registration screen (the registration screen before the operation of the subtotal button BT10). When the registration screen button BT17 is operated, the registration device 20 displays the registration screen (the registration screen in FIG. 2(A)) on the store clerk display unit 210 instead of the subtotal screen.
[0044] In the initial state (before receiving registration information and before reading the accounting ticket), the settlement device 30 displays an initial screen (waiting screen, not shown) on the customer display unit 305. When the settlement device 30 receives registration information on the initial screen (similarly when reading the accounting ticket), it displays a point card reading screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 305. On the point card reading screen, the settlement device 30 checks with the customer whether they have a point card (A point card, B point card), guides the customer through the operation of reading the point card, and reads the point card based on the customer's operation. Note that the point card reading screen may be composed of two or more screens instead of just one screen. Following the point card reading screen (that is, when an operation indicating that there is no point card is received on the point card reading screen or when the reading of the point card is completed), the settlement device 30 displays a settlement start screen. For example, the settlement device 30 (register 202) receives registration information (the registration information transmitted by the registration device 20 based on the operation of the device designation button BT12 on the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 2(B)) on the initial screen, displays a point card reading screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 305, and when the reading of the A point card is completed on the point card reading screen (not shown), it displays a settlement start screen as shown in FIG. 3(A) on the customer display unit 305.
[0045] The settlement start screen shown in FIG. 3(A) is a cash settlement screen that can also accept a declaration of non-cash settlement. BT20 on the right side of the screen is a non-cash settlement button for declaring the selection of a settlement other than cash. More specifically, the non-cash settlement button BT20 is a button to be operated when performing at least one type of non-cash settlement, regardless of whether it is mixed with cash settlement for the settlement of the transaction. When the customer only makes a cash settlement, they do not operate the non-cash settlement button BT20 and insert cash on the settlement start screen. When performing one or more non-cash settlements without making a cash settlement (or when performing one or more non-cash settlements in addition to a cash settlement), the customer operates the non-cash settlement button BT20.
[0046] HR21 at the lower part of the screen is a member information display area for displaying information regarding the customer. In the example shown in FIG. 3(A) (the same applies to other figures such as FIG. 3(B)), the settlement device 30 displays the number of points (605 points) of the customer's A-point card in the member information display area HR21. Note that when the number of points is held in the A-point card, the settlement device 30 reads the number of points from the A-point card and displays it in the member information display area HR21. When the number of points is not held in the A-point card (for example, when the identification information (card number, member number, etc.) of the A-point card is held), the settlement device 30 acquires the number of points corresponding to the identification information read from the A-point card from the outside (for example, a point server that manages the number of points of the A-point card) and displays it in the member information display area HR21.
[0047] When the non-cash payment button BT20 is operated on the settlement start screen shown in FIG. 3(A), the settlement device 30 displays a payment type selection screen as shown in FIG. 3(B) on the customer-side display unit 305. In the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 3(B), HR22 at the center of the screen is a payment type button display area for displaying payment type buttons corresponding to respective payment types (a cash button corresponding to cash payment, an A-point card button corresponding to payment by the A-point card, a B-point card button corresponding to payment by the B-point card, a C electronic money button corresponding to payment by the C electronic money, a D electronic money button corresponding to payment by the D electronic money, an E credit card button corresponding to payment by the E credit card).
[0048] When the A-point card button is operated on the payment type selection screen shown in Fig. 3(B), the settlement device 30 displays a point number designation screen as shown in Fig. 3(C) on the customer display unit 305. In the point number designation screen shown in Fig. 3(C), HR23 is an available point number display area that displays the number of points of the A-point card available for use in the transaction. That is, the settlement device 30 displays the smaller of the number of points corresponding to the amount to be settled (the amount to be paid) and the current number of points in the available point number display area HR23. In the example shown in Fig. 3(C), the settlement device 30 displays the smaller of the number of points (2304 points) corresponding to the amount to be settled (2304 yen) and the current number of points (605 points), which is 605 points, in the available point number display area HR23. If only tomatoes (324 yen) were purchased, the settlement device 30 would display the smaller of the number of points (324 points) corresponding to the amount to be settled (324 yen) and the current number of points (605 points), which is 324 points, in the available point number display area HR23.
[0049] HR24 is an input setting button display area that displays input setting buttons. The input setting button display area HR24 displays numeric buttons and a clear button. The customer inputs the number of points to be used in the input setting button display area HR24. That is, the customer operates the numeric buttons in the input setting button display area HR24 to specify the number of points to be used. HR25 is an used point number display area that displays the number of points to be used. The used point number display area HR25 displays the number input in the input setting button display area HR24 (the number of points specified as the number of points to be used). BT26 is a use all points button for declaring that all the points (the number of points displayed in the available point number display area HR23) are to be used.
[0050] Figure 3(D) is a point number specification screen in a scenario where 304 points are specified (set number input) as the number of points to be used following the scenario shown in Figure 3(C). In the point number specification screen shown in Figure 3(D), BT27 is a decision button to be operated when determining the specified number of points as the number of points to be used. That is, since the number of points to be used is specified, the settlement device 30 displays the decision button BT27 instead of the all-points usage button BT26 in the point number specification screen shown in Figure 3(D).
[0051] When the decision button BT27 is operated in the point number specification screen shown in Figure 3(D), the settlement device 30 displays a settlement type selection screen as shown in Figure 4(A) on the customer display unit 305. In the settlement type button display area HR22 of the settlement type selection screen shown in Figure 4(A), settlement type buttons (cash button, C electronic money button) with the same point awarding conditions as the A point card are displayed, and settlement type buttons (B point card button, D electronic money button, E credit card button) with different point awarding conditions from the A point card are not displayed. Note that in the settlement type selection screen shown in Figure 4(A), a message indicating that the settlement type buttons with different point awarding conditions from the A point card cannot be selected and are thus not displayed may be displayed (see Figure 9). Also, in the member information display area HR21 of the settlement type selection screen shown in Figure 4(A), the number of points specified (the number of points to be used) in the point number specification screen is displayed. Thereafter, the customer selects a settlement type for the remaining amount (2000 yen) in the settlement type selection screen shown in Figure 4(A) and proceeds with the process, but the subsequent explanation is omitted.
[0052] Note that when the return button is operated in the scene (settlement type selection screen) shown in Fig. 3(B), the settlement device 30 may return the display to the scene (settlement start screen) shown in Fig. 3(A). Also, when the return button is operated in the scene (point number specification screen) shown in Fig. 3(C), the settlement device 30 may return the display to the scene (settlement type selection screen) shown in Fig. 3(B). Further, when the return button is operated in the scene (point number specification screen) shown in Fig. 3(D), the settlement device 30 may return the display to the scene (point number specification screen) shown in Fig. 3(C) or may return the display to the scene (settlement type selection screen) shown in Fig. 3(B). Also, when the return button is operated in the scene (settlement type selection screen) shown in Fig. 4(A), the settlement device 30 may return the display to the scene (settlement type selection screen) shown in Fig. 3(B).
[0053] (Display Example 2 of Registration Device 20 / Settlement Device 30) As Display Example 2, the display example when using a commodity coupon for settlement will be described using Figs. 2(A), 2(B), 4(B), 4(C), and 4(D) (however, the description of Figs. 2(A) and 2(B) common to Display Example 1 will be omitted).
[0054] Fig. 4(B) is a subtotal screen in the scene where the commodity coupon 1 button BT15 is operated following the scene shown in Fig. 2(B). In the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 4(B), in addition to the registration information of the commodity, the registration information of commodity coupon 1 and the shortage amount are displayed. That is, when the commodity coupon 1 button BT15 is operated in the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 2(B), the registration device 20 displays the registration information of commodity coupon 1 and the shortage amount as shown in Fig. 4(B).
[0055] When the registration device 20 receives an operation of the device designation button BT12 on the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 4(B), it transmits registration information including the product code of the registered product, the quantity of each product, and information regarding the registered coupons (for example, information indicating that one coupon 1 of 500 yen has been registered) to the settlement device 30 (cash register 202). When the registration device 20 receives an operation of the device designation button BT13 on the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 4(B), it transmits registration information including the product code of the registered product, the quantity of each product, and information regarding the registered coupons to the settlement device 30 (cash register 203). Note that the registration device 20 may transmit registration information including the total amount in addition to the product code of the registered product, the quantity of each product, and information regarding the registered coupons to the settlement device 30. Further, the registration device 20 may transmit registration information including the shortage amount (1804 yen in this example) instead of or in addition to the total amount (2304 yen in this example) to the settlement device 30.
[0056] As described in Display Example 1, in the initial state, the settlement device 30 displays an initial screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 305. When the settlement device 30 receives registration information on the initial screen, it displays a point card reading screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 305, and subsequently displays a settlement start screen on the customer display unit 305. For example, when the settlement device 30 (cash register 202) receives registration information (registration information transmitted by the registration device 20 based on the operation of the device designation button BT12 on the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 4(B)) on the initial screen, it displays a point card reading screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 305. When the reading of the A point card is completed on the point card reading screen (not shown), it displays a settlement start screen as shown in FIG. 4(C) on the customer display unit 305.
[0057] When the non-cash payment button BT20 is operated on the payment start screen shown in Fig. 4(C), the settlement type selection screen as shown in Fig. 4(D) is displayed on the customer display unit 305 of the payment device 30. In the settlement type button display area HR22 of the settlement type selection screen shown in Fig. 4(D), settlement type buttons (cash button, A point card button, C electronic money button) with the same coupon 1 and point awarding conditions are displayed, and settlement type buttons (B point card button, D electronic money button, E credit card button) with different coupon 1 and point awarding conditions are not displayed. In addition, on the settlement type selection screen shown in Fig. 4(D), since settlement type buttons with different coupon 1 and point awarding conditions cannot be selected, a message indicating that they are not displayed may be shown. Hereafter, the customer selects the settlement type for the remaining amount (1,804 yen) on the settlement type selection screen shown in Fig. 4(D) and proceeds with the process, but the subsequent explanation is omitted.
[0058] In addition, when the return button is operated in the scene (settlement type selection screen) shown in Fig. 4(D), the payment device 30 may return the display to the scene (payment start screen) shown in Fig. 4(C).
[0059] (Display example of the registered payment device 40) Figs. 5 and 6 are display examples of the registered payment device 40 (a device for a store clerk to register and settle goods).
[0060] (Display example 1 of the registered payment device 40) As Display Example 1, the display example when coupon 1 is used for settlement will be described using Figs. 5(A), 5(B), 5(C), and 5(D).
[0061] In the initial state (before registering a single item of merchandise), the registration and settlement device 40 displays an initial registration screen (not shown) on the clerk-side display unit 410. When the registration and settlement device 40 registers a product on the initial registration screen, it displays a registration screen (not shown) on the clerk-side display unit 410. When the subtotal button is operated on the registration screen, the registration and settlement device 40 displays a subtotal screen on the clerk-side display unit 410. Also, the registration and settlement device 40 can read a point card (A point card, B point card) on the initial registration screen, the registration screen, or the subtotal screen.
[0062] For example, when the registration and settlement device 40 registers tomatoes as a single item of merchandise on the initial registration screen, eels grilled in sweet sauce as a second item of merchandise on the registration screen, reads the A point card on the registration screen, and the subtotal button is operated on the registration screen, the registration and settlement device 40 displays a subtotal screen as shown in Fig. 5(A) on the clerk-side display unit 410. In the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 5(A), HR31 at the lower part of the screen is a member information display area that displays information about the customer. In the example shown in Fig. 5(A) (the same applies to other figures such as Fig. 5(B)), the registration and settlement device 40 displays the number of points (605 points) on the customer's A point card in the member information display area HR31.
[0063] BT35 at the lower part of the screen is a non-cash settlement button for declaring the selection of non-cash settlement other than cash. More specifically, the non-cash settlement button BT35 is the same as the non-cash settlement button BT20 displayed by the settlement device 30 on the settlement start screen. It is a button to be operated when performing at least one type of non-cash settlement regardless of whether it is mixed with cash settlement for the settlement of the transaction. That is, when the clerk performs one or more types of non-cash settlement without performing cash settlement, or when performing one or more types of non-cash settlement in addition to cash settlement, the clerk operates the non-cash settlement button BT35.
[0064] BT37 at the lower part of the screen is a registration screen button for displaying the registration screen (the registration screen before the operation of the subtotal button). When the registration screen button BT37 is operated, the registration and settlement device 40 displays a registration screen (not shown) instead of the subtotal screen on the clerk-side display unit 410.
[0065] Figure 5(B) is a subtotal screen in a scene where the non-cash payment button BT35 is operated following the scene shown in Figure 5(A). In the subtotal screen shown in Figure 5(B), HR32 is a payment method button display area that displays payment method buttons corresponding to respective payment methods (a coupon 1 button corresponding to payment by coupon 1, a coupon 2 button corresponding to payment by coupon 2, an A card button corresponding to payment by A point card, a B card button corresponding to payment by B point card, a C money button corresponding to payment by C electronic money, a D money button corresponding to payment by D electronic money, an E credit card button corresponding to payment by E credit card), and a back button.
[0066] Figure 5(C) is a subtotal screen in a scene where the coupon 1 button is operated following the scene shown in Figure 5(B). In the subtotal screen shown in Figure 5(C), in addition to the registration information of the product, the registration information of the coupon etc. (coupon 1) and the shortage amount are displayed.
[0067] Figure 5(D) is a subtotal screen in a scene where the non-cash payment button BT35 is operated following the scene shown in Figure 5(C). In the payment method button display area HR32 of the subtotal screen shown in Figure 5(D), payment method buttons (coupon 1 button, A card button, C money button) with the same point granting condition as coupon 1 are displayed, and payment method buttons (coupon 2 button, B card button, D money button, E credit card button) with different point granting conditions from coupon 1 are not displayed. In addition, in the subtotal screen shown in Figure 5(D) (for example, the payment method button display area HR32), a message indicating that payment method buttons with different point granting conditions from coupon 1 cannot be selected and are thus not displayed may be shown. Thereafter, the customer selects a payment method for the remaining amount (1,804 yen) on the payment method selection screen shown in Figure 5(D) and proceeds with the process, but the subsequent explanation is omitted.
[0068] In addition, when the return button is operated in the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 5(B), the registration settlement device 40 may return the display to the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 5(A). Further, when the return button is operated in the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 5(D), the registration settlement device 40 may return the display to the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 5(C), or may return the display to the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 5(B).
[0069] (Display Example 2 of Registration Settlement Device 40) As Display Example 2, the display example when coupon 2 is used for settlement will be described using Figs. 5(A), 5(B), 6(A), and 6(B) (however, the description of Figs. 5(A) and 5(B) that are common to Display Example 1 will be omitted).
[0070] Fig. 6(A) is a subtotal screen in the scene where the coupon 2 button is operated following the scene shown in Fig. 5(B). In the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 6(A), in addition to the registration information of the goods, the registration information of the coupon etc. (coupon 2) and the shortage amount are displayed.
[0071] Fig. 6(B) is a subtotal screen in the scene where the non-cash settlement button BT35 is operated following the scene shown in Fig. 6(A). In the settlement type button display area HR32 of the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 6(B), settlement type buttons (coupon 2 button, B card button, D money button, E credit card button) with the same point awarding conditions as coupon 2 are displayed, and settlement type buttons (coupon 1 button, A card button, C money button) with different point awarding conditions from coupon 2 are not displayed. In addition, in the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 6(B) (for example, the settlement type button display area HR32), a message indicating that settlement type buttons with different point awarding conditions from coupon 2 cannot be selected and are thus not displayed may be shown. Thereafter, the customer selects the settlement type for the remaining amount (1804 yen) on the settlement type selection screen shown in Fig. 6(B) and proceeds with the process, but the subsequent description will be omitted.
[0072] In addition, when the return button is operated in the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 6(B), the registration settlement device 40 may return the display to the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 6(A).
[0073] (Display example 3 of the registration settlement device 40) As Display example 3, other display examples when voucher 2 is used for settlement will be described using Figs. 5(A), 5(B), 6(A), 6(C), and 6(D) (however, the description of Figs. 5(A), 5(B), and 6(A) common to Display example 2 will be omitted).
[0074] Fig. 6(C) is a subtotal screen in the scene where the non-cash settlement button BT35 is operated following the scene shown in Fig. 6(A). In the settlement type button display area HR32 of the subtotal screen shown in Fig. 6(C), settlement type buttons (voucher 2 button, B card button, D money button, E credit card button) with the same point awarding conditions as voucher 2 and settlement type buttons (voucher 1 button, A card button, C money button) with different point awarding conditions from voucher 2 are also displayed.
[0075] Fig. 6(D) is a subtotal screen or the like in the scene where the A card button is operated following the scene shown in Fig. 6(C). As shown in Fig. 6(D), on the front of the subtotal screen, a small screen SG38 displaying a message indicating that the A point card cannot be used due to different point awarding conditions is displayed. That is, since the registration settlement device 40 has specified an A point card with point awarding conditions different from those of the already registered voucher 2, it is regarded as an error. Thereafter, the customer operates the OK button on the small screen SG38, erases the small screen SG38, selects another settlement type for the remaining amount (1,804 yen), and proceeds with the process, but the subsequent description will be omitted.
[0076] In addition, when the return button is operated in the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 6(C), the registration settlement device 40 may return the display to the scene (subtotal screen) shown in Fig. 6(A).
[0077] (Display example of the registration settlement device 50) Figs. 7 and 8 are display examples of the registration settlement device 50 (a device for a customer to register and settle a product).
[0078] (Display Example 1 of Registration Settlement Device 50) As Display Example 1, a display example when coupon 1 is used for settlement will be described using Figs. 7(A), 7(B), 7(C), 7(D), and 8(A).
[0079] In the initial state (before operation start), the registration settlement device 50 displays an initial screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 505. When the registration settlement device 50 receives an operation of the transaction start button on the initial screen, it displays a point card reading screen (not shown) on the customer display unit 505. On the point card reading screen, the registration settlement device 50 checks with the customer whether there is a point card (A point card, B point card), guides the customer to perform a point card reading operation, and reads the point card based on the customer's operation. After the point card reading screen (that is, when an operation indicating that there is no point card is received on the point card reading screen or when the reading of the point card is completed), the registration settlement device 50 displays an initial registration screen (not shown). When a product is registered on the initial registration screen, the registration settlement device 50 displays a registration screen on the customer display unit 505. For example, when the registration settlement device 50 receives an operation of the transaction start button on the initial screen, reads the A point card on the point card reading screen (not shown), registers tomatoes as one item of product on the initial registration screen, and registers eel grilled with sauce as the second item of product on the registration screen, it displays a registration screen as shown in Fig. 7(A) on the customer display unit 505. On the registration screen shown in Fig. 7(A), BT40 at the lower part of the screen is a payment button to be operated when registration is completed and proceeding to settlement.
[0080] HR41 at the lower part of the screen is a member information display area for displaying information about the customer. In the example shown in Fig. 7(A) (the same applies to other figures such as Fig. 7(B)), the registration settlement device 50 displays the number of points (605 points) of the customer's A point card in the member information display area HR41.
[0081] Note that the registration and settlement device 50 displays the payment button BT40 in a display mode that can be operated on the screen after registering one item of merchandise, and does not display the payment button BT40 (or displays it in a display mode that cannot be operated (such as grayed out)) on the screen before registering one item of merchandise. Also, the registration and settlement device 50 may display the subtotal button in a display mode that can be operated on the screen (registration screen) after registering one item of merchandise, and display the payment button BT40 in a display mode that can be operated based on the operation of the subtotal button. In this case, the screen (the screen after registering one item of merchandise) on which the subtotal button is displayed in a display mode that can be operated may be referred to as the registration screen, and the screen (the screen after operating the subtotal button) on which the payment button BT40 is displayed in a display mode that can be operated may be referred to as the subtotal screen.
[0082] When the payment button BT40 is operated on the registration screen (subtotal screen) shown in FIG. 7(A), the registration and settlement device 50 displays a payment type selection screen as shown in FIG. 7(B) on the customer-side display unit 505. In the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 7(B), HR42 at the center of the screen is a payment type button display area that displays payment type buttons (cash button, A point card button, B point card button, C electronic money button, D electronic money button, E credit card button, coupon (clerk call) button) corresponding to each payment type.
[0083] When the coupon (clerk call) button is operated on the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 7(B), the registration and settlement device 50 displays a clerk call screen (not shown) on the customer-side display unit 505 and executes a clerk call process. For example, as the clerk call process, the registration and settlement device 50 may call a clerk using the sign pole 517, or may transmit clerk call information to a device operated by the clerk (for example, the transaction status management device 60, the registration device 20, the registration and settlement device 40, a terminal carried by the clerk, etc.). Note that, in addition to the customer-side display unit 505, the registration and settlement device 50 may display a clerk call screen (not shown) on the clerk-side display unit 510.
[0084] Based on operations of the store clerk on the store clerk call screen (not shown), such as operations known to the store clerk (e.g., predetermined operations known to the store clerk, reading of the store clerk code, etc.), the registration settlement device 50 displays a maintenance screen as shown in FIG. 7(C) on the customer display unit 505. On the maintenance screen shown in FIG. 7(C), there are a ticket 1 button BT45 for declaring the use of ticket 1, a ticket 2 button BT46 for declaring the use of ticket 2, a close button BT49 to be operated when ending (closing) the maintenance screen, etc.
[0085] FIG. 7(D) is a maintenance screen in the scene where the ticket 1 button BT45 is operated following the scene shown in FIG. 7(C). On the maintenance screen shown in FIG. 7(D), registration information of ticket 1, etc. is displayed.
[0086] In the maintenance screen shown in FIG. 7(D), when the close button BT49 is operated, the registration settlement device 50 displays a settlement type selection screen as shown in FIG. 8(A) on the customer display unit 505. In the settlement type button display area HR42 of the settlement type selection screen shown in FIG. 8(A), there are displayed settlement type buttons (cash button, A point card button, C electronic money button) and a ticket (store clerk call) button whose point awarding conditions are the same as those of ticket 1, and settlement type buttons (B point card button, D electronic money button, E credit card button) whose point awarding conditions are different from those of ticket 1 are not displayed. In addition, on the settlement type selection screen shown in FIG. 8(A), a message indicating that since the settlement type buttons whose point awarding conditions are different from those of ticket 1 cannot be selected, they are not displayed may be shown. Thereafter, the customer selects a settlement type for the remaining amount (1,804 yen) on the settlement type selection screen shown in FIG. 8(A) and proceeds with the process, but the subsequent explanation is omitted.
[0087] Note that when the return button is operated on the screen (payment type selection screen) shown in Fig. 7(B), the registration settlement device 50 may return the display to the screen (registration screen (subtotal screen)) shown in Fig. 7(A). Further, when the return button is operated on the screen (payment type selection screen) shown in Fig. 8(A), the registration settlement device 50 may return the display to the screen (payment type selection screen) shown in Fig. 7(B), or may return the display to the screen (registration screen (subtotal screen)) shown in Fig. 7(A).
[0088] (Display Example 2 of Registration Settlement Device 50) As Display Example 2, with reference to Figs. 7(A), 7(B), 7(C), 8(B), and 8(C), a display example when voucher 2 is used for payment will be described (however, descriptions of Figs. 7(A), 7(B), and 7(C) that are common to Display Example 1 will be omitted).
[0089] Fig. 8(B) is a maintenance screen in the scenario where the voucher 2 button BT46 is operated following the scenario shown in Fig. 7(C). The registration information of voucher 2 and the like is displayed on the maintenance screen shown in Fig. 8(B).
[0090] When the close button BT49 is operated on the maintenance screen shown in Fig. 8(B), the registration settlement device 50 displays a payment type selection screen as shown in Fig. 8(C) on the customer-side display unit 505. In the payment type button display area HR42 of the payment type selection screen shown in Fig. 8(C), payment type buttons (B point card button, D electronic money button, E credit card button) with the same point awarding conditions as voucher 2 and the voucher (clerk call) button are displayed, and payment type buttons (cash button, A point card button, C electronic money button) with different point awarding conditions from voucher 2 are not displayed. Note that on the payment type selection screen shown in Fig. 8(C), a message indicating that the payment type buttons with different point awarding conditions from voucher 2 cannot be selected and are thus not displayed may be shown. Thereafter, the customer selects the payment type for the remaining amount (1,804 yen) on the payment type selection screen shown in Fig. 8(C) and proceeds with the process, but subsequent descriptions will be omitted.
[0091] Note that when the return button is operated on the scene (payment type selection screen) shown in FIG. 8(C), the registration settlement device 50 may return the display to the scene (payment type selection screen) shown in FIG. 7(B), or may return the display to the scene (registration screen (subtotal screen)) shown in FIG. 7(A).
[0092] As described above, the embodiments have been described. According to the embodiments, settlement using a plurality of settlement methods can be suitably implemented. For example, it is possible to easily respond to a request to prohibit settlement in which a plurality of payment types with different point giving conditions are mixed from the viewpoint of background processing. That is, it is possible to easily select (specify) a mixable combination according to the screen without relying on the memory of the operator (store clerk, customer).
[0093] In each of the above-described display examples using FIGS. 2 to 8 (the same applies to the display example using FIG. 9 described later), an example is shown in which a point or a gift certificate is first selected as the payment type and then another payment type is selected. However, the order of selecting the payment types when a plurality of payment types are used in combination is not particularly limited. For example, cash or a credit card may be selected first, and then a point or electronic money may be selected. Also, as a display example in the configuration of the registration device 20 / settlement device 30, the case where the use of a gift certificate is declared and the case where it is not declared on the registration device 20 side have been described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. However, when a plurality of payment types are used in combination in the configuration of the registration device 20 / settlement device 30, on the registration device 20 side, without selecting any payment type, the customer may select the payment types to be used in combination on the settlement device 30 side. For example, a gift certificate button may not be displayed on the registration device 20 side, and a gift certificate (clerk call) button may be displayed on the settlement device 30 side as in the payment type button display area HR42 in FIG. 7(B). The same applies to FIG. 9 (described later).
[0094] Also, as described above, when a point card is selected (designated) as the settlement type, the settlement device 30 displays a screen corresponding to point card settlement (point number designation screen), but when another settlement type is selected, it displays a screen corresponding to each settlement type. For example, when electronic money is selected, the settlement device 30 displays an electronic money reading screen that prompts the reading of electronic money, and when a credit card is selected, it displays a screen related to credit card settlement (which may be displayed on the display unit of the card settlement unit). The same applies to the registration settlement device 40 and the registration settlement device 50.
[0095] Also, for example, the "1 point for every 200 yen" described as a privilege at the time of settlement with the A point card is a point awarding rate (point reduction rate) of 0.5%, and the "1 point for every 300 yen" described as a privilege in the settlement with the B point card is a point awarding rate (point reduction rate) of approximately 0.33%. That is to say, it can also be said that the difference in the "point awarding conditions" is the difference in the "point awarding rate". Therefore, in the above embodiment, in the sales system 1 (store T), it was explained that for settlements in which a plurality of settlement types with the same point awarding conditions are mixed as a single transaction settlement, it is permitted, and for settlements in which a plurality of settlement types with different point awarding conditions are mixed, it is prohibited. However, it can also be said that for settlements in which a plurality of settlement types with the same point awarding rate are mixed, it is permitted, and for settlements in which a plurality of settlement types with different point awarding rates are mixed, it is prohibited.
[0096] Also, a point card, electronic money, etc. may not be a physical object (such as a plastic card), but information that can be obtained from an information device (the customer's mobile terminal). That is, each device in store T may read a two-dimensional code (a two-dimensional code encoding the above information) displayed on the display unit of the above information device, or communicate with the above information device (for example, short-range wireless communication, non-contact communication) to obtain each type.
[0097] (Modification example, etc.) Although the embodiments have been described above, the configuration of the device, the configuration of the data, the processing flow, the display and output modes, etc. can be appropriately changed, for example, as shown in the following (1) to (17). Also, the following (1) to (17) may be appropriately combined with each other.
[0098] (1) In the above embodiment, two types of point awarding conditions (1 point for every 200 yen, 1 point for every 300 yen) were shown, but there may be three or more types of point awarding conditions.
[0099] (2) Related to (1) above, for example, when there is a settlement type with a point awarding condition of 1 point for every 100 yen and a settlement type with a point awarding condition of 2 points for every 200 yen, although the point awarding conditions of both are different, the point awarding rates are both the same at 0.5%. Regarding the allowability of the coexistence of both within one transaction, it is handled according to either (a) or (b) below. (a) Since the point awarding conditions of both are different, the coexistence of both is prohibited as the settlement of one transaction. (b) Since the point awarding rates of both are the same, the coexistence of both is permitted as the settlement of one transaction.
[0100] (3) Also related to (1) above, there may be a settlement type for which points are not awarded (that is, a settlement type with a point awarding rate of 0%). Regarding the allowability of the coexistence of a settlement type for which points are not awarded (a non-point awarding settlement type) and a settlement type for which points are awarded (a point awarding settlement type) within one transaction, it is handled according to either (a) or (b) below. (a) The non-point awarding settlement type is also treated as a type of point awarding settlement type, and the coexistence of the non-point awarding settlement type and the point awarding settlement type is prohibited as the settlement of one transaction. (b) The non-point awarding settlement type is treated as a separate entity from the point awarding settlement type, and the coexistence of the non-point awarding settlement type and the point awarding settlement type is permitted as the settlement of one transaction.
[0101] (4) Although not mentioned in the above embodiment, even for the same payment type, the point awarding conditions may vary according to the customer. For example, the point awarding condition (point awarding rate) of the B-point card is 1 point for every 300 yen for ordinary customers (for example, customers with a C-rank based on purchase performance), but for excellent customers (for example, customers with an A-rank based on purchase performance), it may be 1 point for every 200 yen, similar to the A-point card or the like. Therefore, in the above case, excellent customers can make a payment by mixing the B-point card and, for example, the A-point card. Note that the point awarding conditions for each customer may be stored at a location (within LAN 19 or externally) that can be referenced by each device. It may also be stored as part of a customer master (not shown).
[0102] (5) Although not mentioned in the above embodiment, even for the same payment type, the point awarding conditions may vary according to the date and time. For example, the point awarding condition (point awarding rate) of the B-point card during normal times (during non-campaign periods) is 1 point for every 300 yen, but during the campaign period, it may change to 1 point for every 200 yen, similar to the A-point card or the like. Therefore, in the above case, during the campaign period of the B-point card, it is possible to make a payment by mixing the B-point card and, for example, the A-point card. Note that the point awarding conditions for each date and time may be stored at a location (within LAN 19 or externally) that can be referenced by each device. It may also be stored as part of a special sale file.
[0103] (6) In the above-described embodiment, although not mentioned, even for the same settlement type, the point awarding conditions may differ depending on the device to be operated. For example, when settlement is performed in a specific device (for example, the registration settlement device 50 in the full self-service mode), the point awarding conditions (point awarding rate) for a predetermined settlement type (for example, the B-point card) may be improved (changed to be advantageous for the customer). For example, the point awarding condition for the B-point card when settling in the settlement device 30 or the registration settlement device 40 is 1 point for every 300 yen, but the point awarding condition for the B-point card when settling in the registration settlement device 50 may be 1 point for every 200 yen. Therefore, in the above case, when settling in the registration settlement device 50, it becomes possible to perform a settlement in which the B-point card and, for example, the A-point card are mixed. Note that the point awarding conditions for each device may be stored at a position (within the LAN 19 or externally) that can be referred to by each device.
[0104] (7) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which settlement type buttons having different settlement types and point awarding conditions from those already selected are made non-displayed has been described (FIGS. 4(A), 4(D), 5(D), 6(B), 8(A), 8(C)), but settlement type buttons having different settlement types and point awarding conditions from those already selected may be displayed in a non-operable display mode (such as graying out). That is, settlement type buttons having the same settlement type and point awarding conditions as those already selected may be displayed in a selectable (operable) display mode, and settlement type buttons having different settlement types and point awarding conditions from those already selected may be displayed in a non-selectable (non-operable) display mode.
[0105] (8) In the above-described embodiment, an example where a payment type different from the already selected payment type and the point-giving condition cannot be selected (that is, an example where it can be used in combination only for payment types with the same point-giving condition) was described. However, for cash payment, as a special treatment, it may be made combinable with payment types having different point-giving conditions. That is, when combining a plurality of payment types, the cash payment button may always be displayed as one of the selectable options. For example, in the above-described embodiment, cash payment is 1 point for every 200 yen. However, in addition to after selecting a payment type (such as A point card, C electronic money, etc.) that is 1 point for every 200 yen, even after selecting a payment type (such as B point card, D electronic money, etc.) that is 1 point for every 300 yen, the cash payment button may be displayed as selectable. Thereby, for example, no matter what the point-giving condition of the already selected payment type is, at least cash payment can be used in combination. Therefore, since there is no other payment type combinable with the already selected payment type, a situation such as starting over from the beginning can be avoided.
[0106] (9) In the above-described embodiment, an example where the registration device 20 displays a subtotal screen on which the coupon 1 button BT15 and the coupon 2 button BT16 are arranged was described (FIG. 2(B), FIG. 4(B)). However, a subtotal screen on which one coupon button is arranged may be displayed, and after operating the coupon button, buttons for selecting coupon 1 or coupon 2 may be displayed.
[0107] (10) In the above-described embodiment, an example where the coupon is registered by operating a button was described. However, instead of or in addition to operating the button, it may be registered by reading the coupon (the code information attached to the coupon, etc.). That is, for example, coupon 1 may be registered by operating the coupon 1 button, coupon 1 may be registered by reading coupon 1, or coupon 1 may be registered by reading coupon 1 after operating the coupon 1 button. When registering coupon 1 is prohibited due to the relationship with the already selected payment type, an error message (for example, a message indicating that it cannot be used because the point-giving condition is different) may be displayed after the operation of reading coupon 1.
[0108] (11) In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the registration settlement device 40 displays a subtotal screen on which one non-cash payment button BT35 corresponding to various non-cash payments is arranged (Fig. 5(A) etc.). However, a subtotal screen on which respective buttons corresponding to respective non-cash payments are arranged, or a subtotal screen on which a plurality of buttons for each group (for example, a coupon button corresponding to coupon 1 and coupon 2, a point card button corresponding to point card A and point card B, etc.) are arranged may be displayed.
[0109] (12) In the above embodiment, as an operation of the registration device 20 and the settlement device 30, an example has been described in which the use of a coupon is declared by the registration device 20. However, instead of or in addition to the registration device 20, the settlement device 30 may declare the use of a coupon. For example, the settlement device 30 may display a coupon (clerk call) button (a button that displays a clerk call screen (not shown) on the customer-side display unit 305 and executes a clerk call process. The same button as the coupon (clerk call) button displayed on the settlement type selection screen (Fig. 7(B) etc.) of the registration settlement device 50) on the settlement type selection screen.
[0110] (13) In the above embodiment, as an operation of the registration device 20 and the settlement device 30, an example has been described in which a point card is read by the settlement device 30. However, instead of or in addition to the settlement device 30, the registration device 20 may read a point card. For example, the registration device 20 may read a point card until the device designation button (device designation button BT12, device designation button BT13) or the payment slip button BT14 is operated. In addition, after reading the point card, when the registration device 20 receives an operation of the device designation button, the registration device 20 may transmit registration information including information on the read point card to the settlement device 30, and when the payment slip button BT14 is operated, the registration device 20 may issue a payment slip in which information on the read point card is encoded and printed.
[0111] (14) In the above-described embodiment, although the description is omitted, when an unread point card is selected (designated), a message prompting the reading of the point card or a point card reading screen may be displayed. For example, in the scene of Fig. 3(B), the A point card has been read but the B point card has not been read. Therefore, when the B point card button is operated in the scene of Fig. 3(B), the settlement device 30 may display a message prompting the reading of the B point card or a point card reading screen. Also, in the scene of Fig. 5(B), the A point card has been read but the B point card has not been read. Therefore, when the B point card button is operated in the scene of Fig. 5(B), the registration settlement device 40 may display a message prompting the reading of the B point card or a point card reading screen. Also, in the scene of Fig. 7(B), the A point card has been read but the B point card has not been read. Therefore, when the B point card button is operated in the scene of Fig. 7(B), the registration settlement device 50 may display a message prompting the reading of the B point card or a point card reading screen. The same applies to the mode of collectively selecting settlement types (described later).
[0112] (15) Although different from the above (14), an unread point card may be made unselectable (undesignatable). For example, in the scene of Fig. 3(B), the A point card has been read but the B point card has not been read. Therefore, the settlement device 30 may not display the B point card button in the scene of Fig. 3(B). Also, in the scene of Fig. 5(B), the A point card has been read but the B point card has not been read. Therefore, the registration settlement device 40 may not display the B point card button in the scene of Fig. 5(B). Also, in the scene of Fig. 7(B), the A point card has been read but the B point card has not been read. Therefore, the registration settlement device 50 may not display the B point card button in the scene of Fig. 7(B). The same applies to the mode of collectively selecting settlement types (described later).
[0113] (16) In the above embodiment, the settlement device 30 has been described with an example in which the settlement type button of the selected settlement type (A point card in the example of FIG. 4(A)) is not displayed. However, the settlement type button of the selected settlement type may be displayed. For example, the settlement device 30 may display the settlement type button of the selected settlement type in a display mode different from that of the settlement type buttons of the unselected settlement types (see FIG. 9 for example). Note that when the settlement type button of the selected settlement type is operated, the settlement device 30 may accept an increase (or cancellation) in the settlement amount according to the settlement type.
[0114] (17) In the above embodiment, an example in which the settlement types are selected (designated) one by one has been described. However, the settlement types may be selected collectively (continuously, successively, simultaneously). Hereinafter, as an example, with reference to FIG. 9, a mode in which the settlement types are collectively selected in the settlement device 30 will be described. However, the same applies when the settlement types are collectively selected in other devices.
[0115] FIG. 9 is a display example of the settlement device 30. When the non-cash settlement button BT20 is operated on the settlement start screen shown in FIG. 3(A), the settlement device 30 displays a settlement type selection screen as shown in FIG. 9(A) on the customer-side display unit 305. In the settlement type button display area HR22 of the settlement type selection screen shown in FIG. 9(A), settlement type buttons corresponding to the respective settlement types and an end button are displayed. The end button is a button to be operated after one or more settlement types are selected. When the end button is operated, the settlement device 30 transitions to a screen corresponding to the selected settlement type. When the end button is operated after two or more settlement types are selected, the settlement device 30 may display the screens corresponding to the respective selected settlement types in order (for example, in the selection order, in the order according to a predetermined priority order).
[0116] Also, on the payment type selection screen in Fig. 9(A), the point awarding conditions for each payment type button are displayed. For example, on the button corresponding to cash payment, "1P for every 200 yen" indicating that 1 point is awarded for every 200 yen is displayed, and on the button corresponding to payment with the B point card, "1P for every 300 yen" indicating that 1 point is awarded for every 300 yen is displayed. Note that on the payment type selection screen in Fig. 9(A), a message indicating that multiple payment types with different point awarding conditions cannot be used in combination may be displayed.
[0117] Fig. 9(B) is a payment type selection screen in the scenario where the A point card button is operated following the scenario shown in Fig. 9(A). In the payment type button display area HR22 of the payment type selection screen shown in Fig. 9(B), the A point card button and the payment type buttons (cash button, C electronic money button) with the same point awarding conditions as the A point card are displayed, and the payment type buttons (B point card button, D electronic money button, E credit card button) with different point awarding conditions from the A point card are not displayed. Also, the settlement device 30 displays the payment type button (A point card button) of the selected payment type (A point card) in a display mode different from the payment type buttons (cash button, C electronic money button) of the unselected payment types (cash, C electronic money) (although it is shown as dots etc. in the figure, this is just an example and it may be made different by color etc.). Further, the settlement device 30 displays a message indicating that the payment type buttons with different point awarding conditions from the A point card cannot be selected and are thus not displayed.
[0118] Fig. 9(C) is a payment type selection screen in the scenario where the C electronic money button is operated following the scenario shown in Fig. 9(B). The settlement device 30 displays the payment type buttons (A point card button, C electronic money button) of the selected payment types (A point card, C electronic money) in a display mode different from the payment type button (cash button) of the unselected payment type (cash button).
[0119] FIG. 9(D) shows, as another scenario, a payment type selection screen in a scenario where the B-point card button is operated following the scenario shown in FIG. 9(A). In the payment type button display area HR22 of the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 9(C), a B-point card button and a payment type button with the same point awarding conditions as the B-point card are displayed, and payment type buttons with different point awarding conditions from the B-point card are not displayed. Further, the settlement device 30 displays the selected payment type button (B-point card button) in a display mode different from the payment type buttons of unselected payment types (D electronic money, E credit card). Also, the settlement device 30 displays a message indicating that payment type buttons with different point awarding conditions from the B-point card cannot be selected and are thus not displayed.
[0120] Instead of or in addition to displaying the selected payment type button in a display mode different from the unselected payment type buttons, the settlement device 30 may attach a mark (such as a mark) indicating that it has been selected to the selected payment type button.
[0121] Note that, similar to the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 9(A), in the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 3(B), the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 5(B), the subtotal screen shown in FIG. 6(B), and the payment type selection screen shown in FIG. 7(B), the respective point awarding conditions may be displayed for each payment type button, or a message indicating that a plurality of payment types with different point awarding conditions cannot be used in combination may be displayed.
