JPH0519695A - Merchandise label and pos system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the POS system which discriminates between a merchandise losing its commercial value when not held cool and normal merchandises securely judges the merchandise losing the commercial value when it is inputted and informs a customer that the commercial value is lost, and stores and controls data on the merchandise. CONSTITUTION:This merchandise label is so constituted that once the temperature 7 rises above threshold temperature 6, a bar code display 8 changes to display another bar code 9 or becomes unreadable while the new bar code 9 is displayed separately. Further, the bar code which is displayed on two kinds of merchandise label after the temperature rises is put in the merchandise master 13 of defective merchandises (merchandise losing its value) and when the bar code is inputted, the defective merchandise is annunciated and data 21 on the merchandise which can not be sold is stored in this POS system.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a product label and a PO.
It relates to the S system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has not been a product label displaying a bar code that varies depending on the temperature or the temperature history.
Also, it did not manage defective products by POS.

[0003]

The temperature control is very important in stores and transportation companies that handle fresh foods, frozen foods, and refrigerated foods. Refrigeration, refrigerator operation mistakes, management mistakes, when the customer returns the product once taken out from the refrigerator or freezer, it is not returned to the original place and left near the register etc. It causes loss of value.

Products that have lost their commercial value (defective products)
If the product is sold to a customer, not only the customer may feel discomfort and distrust, but also food poisoning may occur.

There is a report that prevents the sale of defective products by a product label that displays a warning once the threshold temperature set for each product is exceeded. However, because it relies on visual inspection, the defective products are mistakenly sold by mistake. There is a fear. Similarly, there is a report that the sale of a defective product is prevented by the product label whose barcode cannot be read, but it may be confused with the product label which becomes unreadable due to dirt or wrinkles.
Moreover, even if these product labels are used, the detected defective products cannot be managed.

The present invention solves the above problems.
A bar code on the product label indicates once the temperature has exceeded the threshold temperature, and when a bar code indicating a defective product is input, it is notified as a defective product and the data is stored and managed. The purpose is to provide a POS system.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the product label of the present invention has a bar code indicating a defective product, which is discolored at the bar code portion initially displayed once the threshold temperature is exceeded. indicate. Also, once the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature, the initially displayed bar code portion becomes discolored and unreadable, and a bar code indicating a defective product is separately displayed.

Further, the POS system of the present invention has the above-mentioned 2
The product registration means for registering the bar code displayed after the color change in the type of product label as an unsellable product, the product input means for inputting the barcode and the product data search, and the bar input by the product input means. When it is determined that the code is a non-saleable product, a non-saleable product notifying means for notifying that the product is a non-saleable product and a non-saleable product data storage means for accumulating the inputted non-saleable product data are provided. It is composed.

[0009]

By using either of the two types of product labels according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a display that can reliably discriminate between defective products and normal products.

Further, according to the POS system of the present invention,
When a bar code indicating a defective product is entered, the customer and the operator are notified as a defective product, so that the sales of the defective product can be reliably prevented and collected, and the defective product data is accumulated and managed. It becomes possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an amami sashimi label as an example of a product label according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a main body of a product label, and 2 is a bar code display area. When the temperature once rises above a threshold value, another bar code is displayed instead of the bar code that was initially displayed. By changing the bar code display, it is possible to reliably discriminate between a normal product whose temperature is kept low and a defective product once the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature.

FIG. 2 shows an sashimi label for a sole, which is an example of a product label according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 3 is a main body of the product label, and 4 is an example of the bar code initially displayed, which becomes unreadable after the temperature once exceeds the threshold temperature and rises. Reference numeral 5 indicates an area where a new bar code is displayed once the temperature rises above the threshold temperature. It is possible to reliably discriminate between normal products and defective products by the product labels displaying different barcodes at the beginning and after the temperature once exceeds the threshold temperature.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a change in the content displayed in the bar code display area 2 with a temperature change in the product label according to the first embodiment. 6 is a threshold temperature, which is 10 degrees Celsius here. 7 is the temperature at each time. 8 is the bar code initially displayed.

The change in label display will be described with reference to FIG. At time t1, the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature. This causes the bar code display area 2 in FIG. 1 to change color,
The bar code 9 is displayed when the threshold temperature is exceeded.
That is, the bar code 9 when the threshold temperature is exceeded from the bar code 8 initially displayed at time t1
The display changes to. At time t2, the temperature drops again, but the display shows the bar code 9 when the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature.
It remains unchanged. That is, once the temperature rises above the threshold temperature, the bar code 9 when the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature is displayed continuously. By this operation,
It is possible to discriminate between a normal product whose temperature is kept low and a defective product once the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature.

The product label according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different in the area for displaying the barcode, but FIG.
The displayed bar code changes at the same timing as described in. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish between a normal product whose temperature is kept low and a defective product once the temperature exceeds the threshold temperature.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the POS system of the present invention. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 10 is a product registration means for registering a bar code of a product label whose temperature once exceeds a threshold value as an unsellable product, and sends defective product data 17 to the product master 13 for registration in the product master 13. Perform processing. Reference numeral 12 is a product input means, which inputs the bar code data 18 from the bar code reader 11 and uses the search data 19 to search the product master 1
Search for 3. When it is determined from the search result 20 that the product cannot be sold, the unsold product notification unit 14 and the unsold product data storage unit 15 store the unsold product data 21.
Is sent. The unsellable product notification means 14 uses the display 16 to notify the operator and the customer that the product is not for sale. The unsellable product data storage means 15 stores the received unsellable product data 21.
Although the display 16 is used as a means for notifying the customer and the operator here, a voice generator, a buzzer, a lamp, or the like can also be used. By adopting this POS system, a defective product is discriminated from a normal product, and when a defective product is input, it is notified that the defective product is a defective product, so that the sales of the defective product is surely prevented and recovered. Therefore, defective product data can be accumulated and managed.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, it is possible to provide a display for distinguishing defective products from normal products by using one of the two types of product labels of the present invention.

According to the POS system of the present invention,
When a defective product is input, it is possible to prevent the defective product from being sold by notifying the customer and the operator that it is a defective product, and to store and manage the defective product data.
